Ukranian comedian Volodymyr Zelenskiy isn’t a politician — but he plays the president on TV. As luck would have it, life is on its way to imitating art as Zelenskiy recently came out victorious in the second round of exit polls for Ukraine’s presidential election after candidate Petro Poroshenko conceded defeat.

According to The Guardian, the poll suggested the Zelenskiy had won the presidential runoff with 73.2% of the vote against Poroshenko’s 25.3%. The official results are expected to come Sunday night, but the exit poll showed defeat for Poroshenko which was forecasted in a series of polls that favored Zelenskiy for the win.

Zelenskiy is known for his role on the Ukrainian TV series Servant of the People. The show follows a teacher who unexpectedly becomes president after an angry rant about corruption is posted online by his students. Apparently, this is paralleling his character on Servant of the People because, like his character on the Ukranian show, he has promised to clean up politics in the country. Even so, his real-life campaign has been vague when it comes to his stance on policy, but he’s been leaning into viral videos, standup comedy and jokes as a source of his campaign.

After the polls closed, Zelenskiy was addressed a crowd of journalists at his campaign headquarters as the theme to Servant of the People played and thanked the citizens who voted for him and promised: “I won’t mess up.”

Ukraine is a country that is facing numerous challenges including a struggling economy and an ongoing war against Russia-backed separatist forces in the east that has so far claimed over than 13,000 lives.

Khartoum, Sudan – Sudan’s interim leader said the transitional military council that has run the country since the overthrow of longtime leader Omar al-Bashir is committed to handing power to a civilian authority.

But opposition leaders said on Sunday they suspended talking with the military rulers because they didn’t believe their pledge to transfer control of the North African country.

“The transitional military council is complementary to the uprising and the revolution. The council is committed to handing over power to the people,” Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan told state TV on Sunday.

“We are not greedy at all to want to stay in power more than the time we agreed upon with the opposition parties. We are waiting for the opposition to submit their proposal.”

But opposition leaders later told supporters at a major rally in the capital Khartoum the military had failed to meet their demands and negotiations would be replaced with further demonstrations.

“The military council is still not serious about handing power over to civilians. This [military] council is also representing part of the old regime,” said Mohamed al-Amin Abdulaziz, the spokesman for the Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA).

“We will continue our protests and we will escalate our protests. We will boycott talks with the military council,” he said. 

Al-Burhan also said Khartoum will send a delegation to Washington to seek the removal of Sudan from the US’s “state sponsors of terrorism” list.

“The United States has asked us to send a delegation for talks regarding the issue of removing Sudan’s name from the list of state sponsors of terrorism,” he said. “This delegation has been formed and will travel to the United States this week or next week.”

‘Too much time’


Meanwhile, thousands of protesters gathered outside the military headquarters in the capital, Khartoum, late on Sunday vowing to stay at the sit-in site until a civil government is installed.

“I’m happy the military council is saying they will hand over power,” Amru Ahmed al-Dayib, 41, an oil company technician, told Al Jazeera.

“We want them to hand over to people who are independent. I think Burhan is honest. But I will continue with the protest until that happens.”

Tafaul Awad, 25, a teaching assistant at Khartoum University, expressed scepticism at the military’s promise.

“I don’t trust Burhan. We want power to be fully handed to civilians, but Burhan is taking too much time. All indications are he has other intentions. I don’t think the military is interested in handing power over to a civilian authority.”

Concessions given

Protests in the northeast African country of more than 40 million people started in December after Khartoum increased the price of bread.

Demonstrators then started calling for al-Bashir and his government to step aside.

The military removed al-Bashir – who had been in office for three decades – from power on April 11.

The military council has made some concessions to protesters, including the removal of the country’s three highest-ranking public prosecutors, and the appointment of a new intelligence chief.

Protest organisers and political parties have also been invited by the army to decide on a civilian prime minister. But the army said it will hold on to control over the interior and defence ministries.

Following a frantic search for a missing five-year-old boy, police have revealed that they do not believe he was abducted or wandered away from his suburban Chicago home.

The parents of Andrew “AJ” Freund told police on Thursday that they last saw their son when they put him to bed around 9 p.m. the previous night and had no idea what happened to him. Police are now saying that they’re placing a renewed focus on the home after dogs “only picked up Andrew’s ‘scent’ within the residence indicating that Andrew had not walked away on foot,” ABC 7 reports.

“(T)here is no indication that would lead police to believe that an abduction had taken place,” Crystal Lake Police Department said in a press release.

An investigation is still ongoing as AJ has yet to be found after police searched about 373 acres of the surrounding area on foot, and another 500 acres using drones. On Thursday, teams used sonar to check the nearby Crystal Lake and beach area to no avail.

It was additionally revealed that there have been previous allegations of abuse and neglect against AJ’s mother, JoAnn Cunningham. The Illinois Department of Child and Family services has “been involved with the family” since AJ was born, a spokesperson said.

Shortly after his birth, he was brought into the department’s custody, and he resided in the care of someone other than his parents from 2015 to 2018. The parents have another child who was reportedly living in the home up until AJ’s disappearance this week and has now been placed with another family.

In March and December of 2018, the department was called to AJ’s home on reports of abuse and neglect, which were ultimately unfounded, the spokesperson added.

Through her lawyer, Ms. Cunningham denied any insinuation that she was involved in her son’s disappearance.

She “doesn’t know what happened to AJ, and had nothing to do with the disappearance of AJ,” her attorney George Kililis said. “Ms. Cunningham is worried sick. She is devastated.”

While speaking on television this week, AJ’s father, Andrew Freund Sr., addressed his son directly.

“AJ, please come home,” he said. “We love you very much. You’re not in any trouble. We’re just worried to death. Please, please come home.”

About one year after the United States decided to leave the Iran nuclear deal, the State Department is set to announce that all countries will have to completely end their imports of Iranian oil or be subject to U.S. sanctions. This is an escalation of the Trump administration’s “maximum pressure” campaign, which seeks to force Tehran to end its illicit behavior around the world.

On Monday morning, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will announce to the media that, as of May 2, the State Department will no longer grant sanctions waivers to any country that is currently importing Iranian crude or condensate, two State Department officials told me. Last November, the State Department issued 180-day waivers to eight countries to give them more time to find alternative sources of oil. Now, their time is running out.

The decision to end waivers has implications for world oil markets, which have been eagerly anticipating President Trump’s decision on whether to extend waivers. The officials said market disruption should be minimal for two reasons: supply is now greater than demand and Pompeo is also set to announce offsets through commitments from other suppliers such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Trump spoke about the issue Thursday with the UAE’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan.

The decision to stop the waivers — called significant reduction exceptions, or SREs — has also become political in Washington, with hawkish officials and lawmakers publicly advocating their discontinuation. Pompeo last week accused lawmakers of “grandstanding” on the issue. Officials said Pompeo always intended to end the waivers when market conditions allowed.

“The policy of zero Iranian imports originated with Secretary Pompeo,” a senior State Department official said. “He has executed this policy in tight coordination with the president every step of the way. Because the conditions to not grant any more SREs have now been met, we can now announce zero imports.”

Officials also pointed to recent comments by U.S. special representative for Iran Brian Hook, who said earlier this month that waivers were appropriate last year due to concern over oil prices that was publicly expressed by Trump.

This year, he said, is different. “Because [in] 2019 we forecast more supply than demand, there are better market conditions for us to accelerate our path to zero,” said Hook. “We are not looking to grant any waivers or exceptions to our sanctions regime.”

Three of the eight countries that received U.S. waivers last November have already reduced their Iranian oil imports to zero: Greece, Italy and Taiwan. The other countries that will now have to cut off Iranian oil imports or be subject to U.S. sanctions are China, India, Turkey, Japan and South Korea.

China and India are currently the largest importers of Iranian oil. If they don’t go along with Trump’s demands, that could cause tensions in both bilateral relationships and spill over into other issues, like trade. South Korea and Japan are relatively less dependent on Iranian oil and have already been treading lightly. A Turkish official has said the country is “expecting” another waiver, but it isn’t getting one.

Trump has said he wants the Iranian regime to come back to the negotiating table and strike a better deal than the one President Barack Obama signed. The Iranian regime has said it has no intention of doing that. Either way, the administration’s ramping up of its “maximum pressure” campaign is meant to starve the regime of the cash it needs to perpetrate its malign activities around the world.

“The goal of the policy is to drive up the costs of Iran’s malign behavior and more strongly address the broad range of threats to peace and security their regime presents,” the State Department official said.

Although the U.S. government’s internal data tracking Iranian oil exports is not public, reports from private analysts note that Iranian oil exports rose in early 2019, perhaps as countries stocked up ahead of the cutoff, and then fell in March as countries likely sought to wean themselves off Iranian oil.

Public estimates put the approximate amount of Iranian oil exports in March at about 1 million barrels per day, down from about 2.5 million barrels per day in April 2018, the month before Trump announced that the United States was withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal.

There are some signs the pressure is having an effect. Iran has been unable to deliver oil to Syria since January due to international enforcement of the sanctions, the Wall Street Journal reported last month, which has increased pressure on the regime of Bashar al-Assad. In March, Pompeo pointed to Hezbollah’s reported cash shortages as additional evidence that Iran’s coffers were being squeezed, with positive results for regional security.

The use of sanctions threats to pressure adversaries and allies alike is not without risk. European allies have been working with Tehran to devise methods to circumvent U.S. sanctions as part of their effort to save the Iran deal. But for now, the United States is still big and strong enough economically that companies and governments have little choice but to comply.

It’s unlikely the Iranian regime will ever sit down with the Trump administration to negotiate a better deal or fundamentally change its behavior. Starting next month, though, it will at least have less oil money to spread terrorism and mischief around the Middle East and the world.

New York (CNN Business)Sri Lanka placed a nationwide block on social media sites after more than 200 people died in multiple attacks on Sunday. The government, in taking the drastic step, cited “false news reports” it said were circulating online.

    Source Article from https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/21/tech/sri-lanka-blocks-social-media/index.html

    Rudolph W. Giuliani, President Trump’s personal attorney, said Sunday that there is “nothing wrong” with a campaign accepting information from Russians, defending the Trump team’s efforts to obtain damaging material about Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton during the 2016 race.

    “There’s nothing wrong with taking information from Russians,” Giuliani said in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “It depends on where it came from.”

    His comments prompted a rebuke from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.).

    “I said it before and I’ll say it again: It’s not ok to seek Russian help in your campaign,” Schiff said in a tweet. “It’s not ok to use materials they stole from your opponent, or to make it part of your campaign strategy. Sadly, my GOP colleagues do think that’s ok. The American people know better.”

    Giuliani was speaking three days after the release of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 election. According to the report, Trump sought ways to turn leaks of stolen emails to his advantage during the campaign.

    At a rally in July 2016, Trump expressed hope that Russia would find about 30,000 emails that Clinton had said she deleted because they were of a personal nature. After that, “Trump asked individuals affiliated with his Campaign to find the deleted Clinton emails,” Mueller’s team found.

    The report also states that Trump repeatedly directed aides not to disclose emails about the now-famous June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower attended by a Russian lawyer offering negative information about Clinton.

    In Sunday’s interview, Giuliani told host Jake Tapper that “any candidate in the whole world” would accept negative information on an opponent.

    Pressed by Tapper on whether that includes information “from a hostile foreign source,” Giuliani replied, “Who says it’s even illegal?”

    Campaigns are not allowed to solicit or accept foreign contributions, which is defined as “anything of value” under campaign-finance laws and regulations. Federal campaigns can hire foreigners to conduct opposition research, as long as they pay a fair-market fee.

    There is no explicit ban on opposition research provided free by foreigners to campaigns. But in his report, Mueller wrote that “candidate-related opposition research given to a campaign for the purpose of influencing an election could constitute a contribution” that is prohibited under the ban on foreign contributions.

    Despite finding that the opposition research could have been considered an illegal foreign contribution, Mueller decided not to pursue criminal campaign-finance charges for other reasons. This has led to officials like Giuliani “offering a green light” for campaigns to accept in-kind contributions from foreign governments, which is “troubling,” said Richard Hasen, election law expert at the University of California at Irvine.

    “In terms of good campaign practice, as soon as a campaign hears that a foreign government or a foreign entity wants to give help to the campaign, the appropriate thing to do is to go straight to the FBI and to decline that offer,” Hasen said.

    Giuliani acknowledged during his interview Sunday that he probably would not have accepted information from Russians about an opponent during his own presidential campaign in 2008.

    “I probably wouldn’t. I wasn’t asked,” he said.

    Lanhee Chen, who was the policy director of the 2012 Romney presidential campaign, said the standard for whether campaigns should accept information from foreign sources should not just be about legality — but whether it is appropriate.

    “I can tell you, pretty firmly, that we certainly would have been deeply suspicious, at the very least, of any information coming from a foreign source — let alone, a Russian source,” Chen said.

    “If anyone in our campaign team had come across any foreign actor trying to provide information or influence our thinking, we certainly would have reported it to proper law enforcement right away. That’s how you generally handle these things,” Chen added.

    The details contained in the Mueller report prompted an onslaught of criticism from Democrats. But Republicans largely either stayed quiet or defended Trump — with the exception of Sen. Mitt Romney (Utah), who criticized the president and his campaign aides in a sharply worded statement posted Friday on Twitter.

    “I am sickened at the extent and pervasiveness of dishonesty and misdirection by individuals in the highest office of the land, including the President,” Romney said.

    The 2012 GOP presidential nominee said he was “appalled” that associates of Trump’s campaign had “welcomed help from Russia,” and he called the report a “sobering revelation of how far we have strayed from the aspirations and principles of the founders.”

    Romney’s reaction was far more critical than statements by some of his Republican colleagues, including Sen. Susan Collins (Maine) and Sen. Rob Portman (Ohio).

    In a statement Friday, Portman said he was “pleased” that the report was made public and that it “confirms several key facts consistent with the summary findings by Attorney General William Barr.” Portman said that although the report “documents a number of actions taken by the president or his associates that were inappropriate, the Special Counsel reached no conclusion on obstruction of justice.”

    Collins expressed concern with Trump’s attempts to fire Mueller, as documented in the report, which she called “a very thorough undertaking.”

    “He was not only very upset by the special counsel’s investigations, but tried several times through intermediaries to end it, and it is an unflattering portrayal of the president,” she said Friday in an interview with Maine Public Radio.

    Asked about Romney’s criticism of Trump on Sunday, Utah’s senior Republican senator, Mike Lee, notably made no mention of the president in his initial reply, pivoting instead to criticize former president Barack Obama’s handling of the U.S. relationship with Russia.

    “Well, first of all, I think Senator Romney has some credibility with regard to Russia,” Lee said on CBS News’s “Face the Nation,” pointing to Romney’s warnings about Russia during the 2012 presidential campaign. “Sadly, his warnings went unheeded. And under President Obama’s leadership over the next four years, Russia’s activities, its nefarious efforts to undermine our system, continued.”

    Asked whether he agreed with Romney on Trump in light of Mueller’s findings, Lee said there was “nothing in this report that changes my view of this president.”

    The country has also faced political tensions at the top.

    An attempt to topple the prime minister last year resulted in a protracted constitutional crisis that threatened to break into violence. For a brief period, the country had two declared prime ministers at the same time.

    President Maithripala Sirisena fired the prime minister, Ranil Wickremesinghe, last October. In his stead, he appointed the former president and strongman Mahinda Rajapaksa.

    When it became clear that Mr. Rajapaksa did not have enough votes in Parliament to make him prime minister, Mr. Sirisena dissolved the body.

    The two-month crisis brought the country to a standstill. Clashes alternated between the streets, where thousands of supporters from each side marched, and the Parliament, where lawmakers broke into fistfights and even hurled chile powder at one another.

    Mr. Rajapaksa finally backed down and Mr. Wickremesinghe remained prime minister.

    House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-NY, argued on Sunday that, despite Special Counsel Robert Mueller deciding not to charge President Trump with obstruction of justice, he believes there is still plenty of evidence of obstruction by the president.

    Nadler, who filed a subpoena Friday for Mueller’s full, unredacted report, said that Mueller only restrained from charging Trump with obstruction of justice because of the longstanding Justice Department opinion that a sitting president can’t be indicted.

    “Mueller says that although a thorough FBI investigation might very well show evidence of obstruction of justice with the president, ‘we’re not going to do that because of the Department of Justice’s legal opinion that a president, a sitting president, can’t be indicted and it would be unfair to lay out the facts justifying an indictment without giving the president the opportunity and a trial to clear his name,’” Nadler said on Sunday during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet The Press.”

    NADLER REQUESTS MUELLER TESTIFY BEFORE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE ‘AS SOON AS POSSIBLE’

    He added: “[Attorney General William] Barr misinterpreted that, or misrepresented that I should say, to say they didn’t find obstruction. There’s plenty of evidence of obstruction.”

    Nadler expects the Justice Department to comply with his committee’s subpoena for the full report by May 1.

    That’s the same day Barr is set to testify before a Senate committee and one day before he is to appear before Nadler’s panel. Nadler also has summoned Mueller to testify by May 23.

    A Justice Department spokeswoman, Kerri Kupac, called Nadler’s move “premature and unnecessary.”

    Barr sent Congress a redacted version of the Mueller report, blacking out several types of material, including classified information, material pertaining to ongoing investigations and grand jury evidence.

    Nadler last week said he was open to working with the department on accommodations, but he also said the committee “needs and is entitled to the full version of the report and the underlying evidence consistent with past practice.”

    SPECIAL COUNSEL ROBERT MUELLER’S RUSSIA PROBE REPORT RELEASED BY JUSTICE DEPARTMENT

    Mueller laid out multiple episodes in which Trump directed others to influence or curtail the Russia investigation after the special counsel’s appointment in May 2017, and Trump made clear that he viewed the probe as a potentially mortal blow — “the end of my presidency.”

    Nadler on Sunday questioned why Mueller did not level charges against the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., for taking a meeting with Russian operatives in Trump Tower to allegedly get compromising information on Trump’s 2016 Democratic presidential opponent, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

    “I do not understand why he didn’t charge Don Jr. and others in that famous meeting with criminal conspiracy,” Nadler said. “[Mueller] said that he didn’t charge them because you couldn’t prove that they didn’t willfully intend to commit a crime, well you don’t have to prove that.”

    He added: “All you have to prove for conspiracy is that they entered into a meeting of the minds to do something and had one overt act. They entered into a meeting of the minds to attend a meeting to get stolen material on Hillary. They went to the meeting. That’s conspiracy right there.”

    The New York lawmaker also added that the idea of the House impeaching the president is still on the table even as some of his Democratic colleagues in the House have warned against any premature actions.

    “If proven some of this would be impeachable yes. Obstruction of justice, if proven, would be impeachable,” Nadler said. “We’re going to see where the facts lead us.”

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has insisted on a methodical, step-by-step approach to the House’s oversight of the Trump administration, and she refuses to consider impeachment without public support, including from Republicans, which seems unlikely.

    Speaking Friday in Belfast as Pelosi wrapped up a congressional visit to Ireland, she declined to signal action beyond Congress’ role as a check and balance for the White House.

    “Let me assure you that whatever the issue and challenge we face, the Congress of the United States will honor its oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States to protect our democracy,” she told reporters. “We believe that the first article — Article 1, the legislative branch — has the responsibility of oversight of our democracy, and we will exercise that.”

    WASHINGTON (AP) — A House committee chairman said the evidence of obstruction by President Donald Trump detailed in the special counsel’s report is impeachable if proven.

    Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler of New York chairs the House committee that would hold impeachment proceedings. He said it’s up to Congress to investigate the 10 allegations of Trump’s attempts to obstruct the Russia investigation that special counsel Robert Mueller laid out but left open whether Trump broke the law.

    Asked whether the offenses are impeachable, Nadler told NBC, ‘‘If proven, some of this would be impeachable, yes.’’ He said Democrats’ focus is to ‘‘go where the evidence leads us.’’

    Democratic leaders are under pressure from the party’s rising stars and some presidential contenders to start impeachment proceedings. House Democrats will confer Monday on next steps.

    Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s attorney, vigorously defended Trump, saying he was framed and calling for an investigation into the Mueller probe. Giouliani also spoke on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

    TAOS, N.M. (Reuters) – The FBI on Saturday said it had arrested Larry Hopkins, the leader of an armed group that is stopping undocumented migrants after they cross the U.S.-Mexico border into New Mexico.

    The arrest came two days after the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) accused the group of illegally detaining migrants and New Mexico’s Democratic Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham ordered an investigation.

    Hopkins, 69, also known as Johnny Horton, was arrested in Sunland Park, New Mexico, on a federal complaint charging him with being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a statement.

    “We’re not worried about it, he’s going to be cleared,” said Jim Benvie, a spokesman for the United Constitutional Patriots (UCP), blaming his arrest on political pressure from Lujan Grisham.

    Hopkins is the “national commander” of the UCP, which has had around half a dozen members camped out on a rotating basis near Sunland Park since late February.

    PATRIOTS OR FASCISTS?

    The UCP describes itself as a “patriot group” helping U.S. Border Patrol cope with record numbers of Central American families crossing the border to seek asylum.

    Dressed in camouflage and carrying rifles, UCP members have helped U.S. Border Patrol detain over 5,600 migrants in the last two months, Benvie said. Videos posted online by the group show members telling migrants to stop, sit down, and wait for agents to arrive. Critics accuse the UCP of impersonating law enforcement.

    Crowdfunding sites PayPal and GoFundMe on Friday barred the group, citing policies not to promote hate or violence, after the ACLU called the UCP a “fascist militia.”

    “Today’s arrest by the FBI indicates clearly that the rule of law should be in the hands of trained law enforcement officials, not armed vigilantes,” New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas said in a statement of Hopkins’s arrest.

    Hopkins was previously arrested in Oregon in 2006 on suspicion of impersonating a police officer and being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

    NO STANDOFFS

    U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said in a statement it did not support citizens taking law enforcement into their own hands and instead encouraged the public to be its eyes and ears on the border.

    Benvie said the UCP was doing just that and had the support of local Border Patrol and police.

    Mostly military veterans, UCP members carry weapons for self defense and at no time pointed guns at migrants, as they have been accused of, Benvie said.

    Despite having funding sources cut off, Benvie said the group’s online support had swelled since it came under attack this week. Its Facebook followers have more than doubled since Thursday.

    Asked what the group would do if told to leave by state police, Benvie said they would probably go and, if they felt the order violated their constitutional rights, sue the state of New Mexico.

    “There’s not going to be any standoffs, this isn’t the Bundy Ranch,” Benvie said, in reference to a 2014 armed confrontation in Nevada.

    People were getting carried away about the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral, one Catholic bishop felt. “Some commentators are reading, imposing, waaaaay too much spiritual significance into the Notre Dame fire,” Bishop Thomas Tobin of Providence, R.I., wrote on Twitter in the middle of Holy Week. “It was a frightful event, a terrible fire, that severely damaged a spectacular, historic, sacred house of worship. Nothing more.”

    Discerning and interpreting divine signs are not the typical fare of this page. Still, it’s hard not to read something more into the inferno that destroyed the 200-year-old roof on the 800-year-old cathedral, especially if you take a slightly larger perspective.

    While the Notre Dame fire appears to be the result of an electrical short circuit, hundreds of French churches have been deliberately vandalized and desecrated over the past few months, according to multiple media reports. Vandals smeared human excrement on the cross in a church in Nîmes. Crosses and saint statues were smashed at a church in Lavaur. A statue of the Virgin Mary was destroyed in Houilles. Paris’s Church of St. Sulpice was set on fire on a Sunday.

    This plague of deliberate attacks on churches across France, often with the clear intent to desecrate Christian holy symbols and objects, was largely ignored by the media.

    Meanwhile in Louisiana, there was a terroristic campaign of church burnings. Three black Baptist churches in St. Landry’s Parish were deliberately burned in a 10-day stretch, evoking ugly memories of the Jim Crow era. The suspect, since caught, is a racist, white male.

    So, when on Monday Notre Dame’s roof caught fire, and at the same time a blaze broke out in Jerusalem’s venerated Al-Aqsa Mosque, you’d have be quite the skeptic not to divine some sort of a message. It seemed as though God was telling us all, “Look! My house is crumbling.”

    Alongside the destruction of church buildings is the crumbling of the church as a collection of worshippers.

    Only half of all American adults belong to a religious congregation (Muslim, Christian, or Jewish), according to a Gallup survey published on Holy Thursday. That is a precipitous decline: As recently as 1998, the portion was 70%.

    Behind this drop-off is more than a doubling of the irreligious (from 8% to 19%), an increase of the religiously unaffiliated, and a decrease of attendance among even those who belong to a specific faith.

    America is becoming unchurched.

    Church leaders have worried about this crisis for years, as it has slowly unfolded. But secular leaders and commentators should worry about this, too.

    Secularization strikes many liberal commentators as progress, but the social science suggests that, especially for the working class and middle class, those without church are in bad shape.

    Churchgoing, synagogue-going, and mosque-going adults are less likely to divorce and less likely to abuse their spouses. Churchgoing families are more likely to eat dinner together and have family activities. Churchgoing kids do less drugs and more sports. People who go to church weekly are far more likely to report being “very happy.” Going to church even correlates with living longer, it seems.

    If people are falling away from religious congregations, that’s a bad thing.

    The causes of this trend are many. Of course, modern technology, secular crusades against public displays of religion, and popular culture are culprits. So is a broader alienation and deinstitutionalization of life in America. But the churches cannot escape blame for their decreased draw: The Catholic Church is still refusing to reckon with its abuse scandals, and many churches have become nearly secular, emphasizing the political or the popular instead of the sacred.

    Maybe the fires at Notre Dame Cathedral and Al-Aqsa Mosque weren’t messages from the almighty. Nevertheless, this Easter, it wouldn’t hurt for us to take stock of the worldwide crumbling of the church.

    Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani said while he would have advised the Trump campaign to avoid Russian help, he thought there was nothing wrong with a campaign taking information from Russia.

      Egyptians began voting in a three-day referendum on proposed constitutional amendments that could see President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi‘s rule extended to 2030.

      State television on Saturday showed images of Sisi casting his ballot at a polling station in the eastern suburb of Heliopolis.

      Egypt‘s parliament on Tuesday voted overwhelmingly in favour of the changes, which include allowing the general-turned-president to extend his current term by two years and stand for another six-year-mandate, potentially extending his rule until 2030.

      Prominent Egyptian newspaper columnist Abdullah Al Sennawy decried the amendments as a threat to the country’s stability. He said they would increase the government’s grip on power and erode the balance between authorities currently in place.

      “Changing the constitution reflects the weakness of the regime. It is a sign that the regime is close to its end, such as what happened in Sudan and Algeria,” he said.


      The 596-member assembly is packed with Sisi supporters, with 531 of the 554 legislators who attended the vote opting in favour of the constitutional changes.

      Outside a polling centre near the Giza Pyramids, about two dozen people, mostly elderly women, lined up waiting to cast their votes. Heavy police and army security was reported at polling stations throughout the country.

      Haja Khadija, a 63-year-old housewife, said she came for the “security and stability” of the country. “We love el-Sisi. He did lots of things. He raised our pensions.”

      The ballot will also see voters decide on whether an upper parliamentary chamber should be created.

      Omar Ashour, director of the security studies programme at the Doha Institute, told Al Jazeera the new body would likely work to further serve the interests of the Sisi government. 

      “In a democracy, the upper house’s role is to overview the lower house, have some form of oversight and review legislation,” he said. 

      “Since the upper house was founded in 1979 by Sadat, what it did really was outbid the lower house in a competition to please the leader. It [the senate] will be a legislation of jockeying, outbidding each other and a more favourable outcome for the regime.”  


      Sisi’s government has been repeatedly criticised by human rights organisations for alleged repression of political opponents.

      ‘Contempt for rights’ 

      In a statement on Tuesday, Amnesty International said the proposed constitutional amendments would “facilitate the authorities’ crackdown on freedom of expression, association and assembly, erode people’s rights, and exacerbate the human rights crisis in the country”.

      “The decision to put these amendments to the constitution to a public referendum, amid the worst crackdown on freedom of expression and severe restrictions on political parties and independent media, demonstrates the Egyptian government’s contempt for the rights of all people in Egypt,” said Magdalena Mughrabi, Amnesty’s deputy Middle East and North Africa director.

      Sisi, 64, was re-elected in March 2018 with more than 97 percent of the vote, in a ballot boycotted by large swaths of the country’s political opposition after several potential candidates dropped out citing intimidation or were arrested.


      Only one other candidate, himself an ardent supporter of Sisi, opposed the incumbent. Mousa Mostafa Mousa had endorsed Sisi for a second term and even organised events to help nominate the former military commander up until a week before the nomination deadline.

      Eliminating the opposition 

      The election commission said last year’s vote was held according to the “highest international standards of integrity and transparency”, but rights groups including international NGO Human Rights Watch criticised the ballot as neither “free nor fair”.

      “I think you have to take votes that are held in military dictatorships with several grains of salt,” said Mohamad Elmasry, associate professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies.

      “Egypt has eliminated the opposition; it’s an environment of repression and fear. People are terrified to vote and express dissent.

      “In the lead-up to this vote, more than 120 people have been arrested for campaigning for the ‘no vote’. We have to remember there are no independent monitors so the government is free to rig the results.”

      President Trump offered his condolences to the victims of the deadly Sri Lanka blasts on Easter Sunday, but initially did so with a tweet that had an absurdly high death toll statistic.

      “Heartfelt condolences from the people of the United States to the people of Sri Lanka on the horrible terrorist attacks on churches and hotels that have killed at least 138 million people and badly injured 600 more. We stand ready to help!” Trump said in a tweet Sunday morning.

      He deleted the tweet 20 minutes later, replacing it with one that contained the accurate death toll estimate.

      “138 people have been killed in Sri Lanka, with more that 600 badly injured, in a terrorist attack on churches and hotels. The United States offers heartfelt condolences to the great people of Sri Lanka. We stand ready to help,” he said in the follow-up tweet.

      Trump has made gaffes on Twitter in the past — perhaps the most infamous being “covfefe” — but this one suggested roughly 2.2 percent of the world population had been killed.

      His critics were quick to pounce.

      “[Y]ou are a total fuck up,” tweeted Adam Parkhomenko, a former Democratic National Committee field director.

      “The attacks in Sri Lanka were awful. But 138 million people did not die. That’s like a nuclear holocaust situation,” said journalist Emily Singer.

      Eight bombs exploded at churches and hotels around Sri Lanka, killing at least 140 people in injured hundreds on Easter Sunday. Officials have described the blasts as a terrorist attack and blamed it on religious extremists. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.

        House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is scheduled to hold a private conference call Monday with fellow Democrats in which the topic of the potential impeachment of President Trump will be raised.

        The planned call comes as the issue continues to divide progressive Democrats — who want Trump to face impeachment proceedings — and party leaders who warn of its political risks and backlash going into the 2020 presidential election, Bloomberg reported. The renewed push comes on the heels of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

        Pelosi last month said she opposed impeachment, calling the process divisive and saying of Trump, “He’s just not worth it.”

        SCARAMUCCI SAYS PELOSI IS ‘THE SMARTEST PERSON’ AMID DEMOCRATIC CALLS FOR IMPEACHMENT

        But in tweets this week, following the release of the Mueller report, Pelosi seemed to show a change in tone.

        “As we continue to review the report, one thing is clear,” Pelosi wrote Thursday, “AG Barr presented a conclusion that @realDonaldTrump did not obstruct justice while the #MuellerReport appears to undercut that finding.”

        Also Thursday: “The #MuellerReport paints a disturbing picture of a president who has been weaving a web of deceit, lies and improper behavior and acting as if the law doesn’t apply to him,” Pelosi wrote.

        WARREN URGES HOUSE TO BEGIN IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS ON HEELS OF MUELLER REPORT

        Mueller’s report cleared Trump and his associates of collusion with Russia but did not determine whether the president committed obstruction of justice during the investigation.

        The report outlined 10 instances of potential obstruction, reviving impeachment calls by some Democrats. Among them, the report said Trump directed then-White House Counsel Don McGahn in June 2017 to tell the acting attorney general that Mueller “must be removed.” McGahn refused.

        “The Special Counsel made clear that he did not exonerate the President. The responsibility now falls to Congress to hold the President accountable for his actions,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y. said in an April 18 written statement just after the report was released.

        President Trump, however, maintains that the Mueller report has cleared him of wrongdoing, and has underscored that view in Twitter messages.

        “The end result of the greatest Witch Hunt in U.S. political history is No Collusion with Russia (and No Obstruction). Pretty Amazing!” the president wrote Saturday.

        Another tweet was titled, “Mueller Investigation By the Numbers”:

        GINGRICH SUGGESTS NADLER’S PUSH TO FURTHER PROBE MUELLER REPORT IS AN ATTEMPT TO SAVE HIS JOB IN THE HOUSE

        Those calling for impeachment proceedings include 2020 presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who said she would endorse an impeachment resolution introduced by fellow freshman lawmaker, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.

        “Many know I take no pleasure in discussions of impeachment. I didn’t campaign on it, & rarely discuss it unprompted. We all prefer working on our priorities: pushing Medicare for All, tackling student loans, & a Green New Deal. But the report squarely puts this on our doorstep,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Thursday.

        On Saturday, Warren — who has been struggling to gain traction with voters — doubled down on her call for the House to begin impeachment proceedings.

        “I know people say this is politically charged and we shouldn’t go there, and that there is an election coming up, but there are some things that are bigger than politics,” she told an audience at Keene College in New Hampshire.

        MUELLER REPORT SHOWS PROBE DID NOT FIND COLLUSION EVIDENCE, REVEALS TRUMP EFFORTS TO SIDELINE KEY PLAYERS

        Pelosi and other Democratic leaders have tried tamping down talks of impeachment, arguing that Senate Republicans would not vote to remove Trump from office.

        Rep. Mike Quigley, D-Ill., told Bloomberg he agrees with Pelosi that a case for impeachment should be built carefully and out of a complete record.

        “Maybe we get one shot at it. Why not wait to get all of the information we can?” he said. “It doesn’t help to just keep talking about impeachment. It makes it look like you are obsessed with it.”

        Eight-term Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, began calling for impeachment even before Ocasio-Cortez and Tlaib, according to Bloomberg. He twice forced procedural votes on articles of impeachment when Republicans controlled the House. He said would press the issue again regardless of what party leaders think.

        “I will bring it to the floor for a vote if the committees do not act,” said Green. “”If we don’t step up and do our job, if we engage in some sort of analysis and debate and refuse to say the word, ‘impeachment,’ we will engage in what Dr. King called the paralysis of analysis.

        “We will do this until such time someone will say it’s too late to get into impeachment, it will appear to be political, and as a result we will then decide that this must be taken to the polls on Election Day.”

        The leader of a militia operating along the southern border has been arrested by the FBI days after the armed group detained over 200 migrants who had just illegally crossed into New Mexico.

        Larry Mitchell Hopkins, 69, of Flora Vista, New Mexico, was arrested Saturday on charges of being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition, the FBI Albuquerque office said.

        Hopkins was arrested in Sunland Park, New Mexico, which lies right on the border with Mexico and is just 8 miles northwest of El Paso, Texas.

        (KVIA) Jim Benvie, spokesperson for The United Constitutional Patriots, speaks to El Paso, Texas, ABC affiliate KVIA about the arrest of the group’s leader, Larry Hopkins, on Saturday, April 20, 2019.

        “This is a dangerous felon who should not have weapons around children and families,” New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas said in a statement. “Today’s arrest by the FBI indicates clearly that the rule of law should be in the hands of trained law enforcement officials, and not armed vigilantes.”

        The spokesperson for the group attacked Balderas and New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham for the arrest.

        “I am confident that Mr. Hopkins will get though this, will fare well,” the militia’s spokesperson, Jim Benvie, told El Paso ABC affiliate KVIA, while wearing a red “Trump 2020” hat. “The [New Mexico] AG has declared war on American citizens at the order of the ACLU, instructing the governor, in a sense, to effectively find a reason to remove private citizens from assisting and documenting a crisis on the border. It’s really sad that she can’t use the resources of the National Guard or even the FBI, if they had to, to help protect the border. Instead, they had to infiltrate and set up our camp, and we’re confident about our position with this.

        “We’re not worried about it. It doesn’t change anything,” he added.

        Hopkins was convicted of impersonating an officer and felony gun possession in 2006, according to The Daily Beast.

        He leads a group called The United Constitutional Patriots, which states on its Facebook page that its mission is “to uphold the Constitution of The United States of America.”

        “We uphold this cause against all enemies both foreign and domestic which shall infringe upon the rights of the citizens given by the Constitution,” it says. “We are here to serve in time of need at the local and state level and if necessary for our country.”

        Benvie regularly uploads videos to his Facebook page showing the group’s actions detaining migrants.

        The group gained attention on Tuesday when it detained over 200 migrants at gunpoint after they crossed into the U.S. near Sunland Park. The group was held by the militia until U.S. Border Patrol agents responded and took them into custody.

        (AP Photo/Eric Gay) In this Nov. 3, 2018, file photo, members of the U.S. Army build a razor wire fence around area for tents near the U.S.-Mexico International bridge, in Donna, Texas.

        A spokesperson for the group told KVIA that the group never points a gun at migrants and they weren’t forced to stay.

        The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) immediately came out against the action, and blamed it on the rhetoric of the president.

        “The Trump administration’s vile racism has emboldened white nationalists and fascists to flagrantly violate the law,” the ACLU said in a statement Friday. “This has no place in our state: we cannot allow racist and armed vigilantes to kidnap and detain people seeking asylum.”

        Mexico’s Foreign Ministry released a statement on behalf of the government expressing “profound concern about the activities of intimidation and extortion of migrants by groups of militias on the New Mexico border.”

        The group wrote Friday on its Facebook page that Paypal had permanently suspended its fundraising account.

        ABC News’ Matthew Fuhrman, Ben Jimenez and Josh Hoyos contributed to this report.

        Paris, France – Holding signs that read “What about the poor?” and chanting “Justice for all,” France’s yellow vest protesters, ignoring the displays of unity by the French political class in the wake of the Notre Dame fire, marched through the streets of Paris and other cities on Saturday, vowing to persevere in what they called “Ultimatum 2”.

        “These [protests] are very important for social justice,” said Jean-Baptiste Redde at the Saturday protest on Republique Square in central Paris. “We have to help the poor, the disabled people, those who don’t have roofs to live under. It’s important to hold on.”

        Hundreds were arrested and dozens injured as violence broke out between demonstrators and police.

        The French capital quickly became the epicentre of Saturday’s violence, with 9,000 protesters reported in Paris alone, according to the French Ministry of the Interior, and police sealed off entire sections of the city.

        While the protests started out peacefully, almost with a carnival-like atmosphere, violence erupted as thousands of demonstrators approached the Place de la Republique.

        People threw rocks at police who responded with tear gas and stun grenades.

        It was the twenty-third demonstration by the loosely organised, disparate movement that is mainly united in its resentment over the lack of economic equality in France and displeasure with President Emmanuel Macron, whom many see as a “president of the rich”.

        The grassroots movement that started on social media has proven to be one of the biggest tests of Macron’s presidency, with protesters refusing to let this week’s fire at Notre Dame pause their demonstrations, even as the president and French political parties put aside politics and halted campaigning for the upcoming European Parliament elections.

        In fact, in some ways, the fire on Monday inflamed some protesters because of the hundreds of millions of euros raised immediately afterwards to restore the 850-year-old Notre Dame.


        Some of that money was pledged by French billionaires such as French luxury group Kering’s CEO Francois-Henri Pinault and LVMH head Bernard Arnault as well as companies such as French oil giant Total.

        “I would like us to get back to reality,” said Ingrid Levavasseur, one of the informal leaders of the movement, speaking on French BFM TV last week.

        Levavasseur said it was important to criticise “the inertia of large companies and [billionaires] in the face of social misery as they display their ability to raise a crazy amount of money in a single night for Notre Dame”.

        Her comments and others were widely shared on social media. Many agreed.

        “If they are able to give tens of millions to rebuild Notre Dame, then they should stop telling us that there is no money to counter social inequality,” Philippe Martinez, head of France’s CGT workers union, told French radio last week.

        The sentiment was reflected on the streets of Paris on Saturday.

        “Billions should also be given to the poor, to help the environment, to promote biodiversity,” said Redde holding a sign that read, “Millions for Notre Dame – and what about the poor?”

        “But Macron and this government only want to help the rich, so we can’t stop.”

        ‘A pointless debate’

        The fire at Notre Dame, which is revered by all French people – Catholics, Muslims and Jews – as part of France’s cultural and historical legacy, set off a national outpouring of grief.

        As a result, the anger at the donations set off a backlash within the government and among the public.

        “It is a pointless debate,” said Culture Minister Franck Riester, interviewed on RMC radio. “To say, ‘there’s too much money for Notre Dame and there is need elsewhere’ – of course, there is need elsewhere for healthcare, the fight against climate change. But Notre Dame is not only a collection of old stones. It’s a part of our identity.”

        France’s Minister of the Interior Christophe Castaner was more pointed.

        “The rioters have not been visibly moved by what happened at Notre Dame,” he said angrily, shortly before the ministry announced that France would deploy 60,000 police officers on Saturday and prevent any protesters from getting near Notre Dame and the Champs-Elysees where, in March, they set fire to a bank, smashed the front of a renowned restaurant, and looted stores.

        It’s difficult to say the protests are no longer legitimate because of the Notre Dame fire. Life goes on. And so do the yellow vests.

        Meanwhile, the public is already growing weary of the protesters – recent polls show support for the yellow vests has dropped by half from 80 percent. An Odoxa poll released on Friday indicated that a slim majority of French wanted the demonstrations suspended.

        “I’m tired of this,” a clothing shop owner in the Marais, a major tourist district next to Republique Square, told Al Jazeera privately. “For five months, we have had almost no business – the tourists are not coming here because of the protests.”

        Notre Dame even gave pause to some within the movement. Many in the movement on Tuesday called for protests to be delayed in deference to the “national tragedy” at Notre Dame.

        ‘Too little, too late’

        Monday’s fire broke out just an hour before Macron was scheduled to give a televised address detailing a series of policy reforms in response to the yellow vest protesters and their grievances. The speech was cancelled at the last minute and rescheduled for next Thursday.

        Even so, copies of the taped speech sent to reporters were leaked. In it, Macron promised to lower taxes for the middle class, reconsider his decision to cut a “fortune solidarity tax” on top earners, and make adjustments to the lowest pensions for inflation.

        Macron was also set to announce the closure of the highly prestigious Ecole nationale d’administration, a college that trains public servants. Many have criticised the school as a place reserved for the elite.

        The Odoxa poll showed the majority of French citizens supported these changes. But many yellow vest demonstrators and others continued their chant of “too little, too late” and vowed to continue protesting for weeks to come.

        “Pfff – blah, blah, blah,” was the reaction of Catherine Lopis when asked about Macron’s plans.

        “I voted for him (Macron) – had no choice but him or [far-right leader Marine] Le Pen. But he isn’t interested in helping anyone other than bankers. Our problems are not his problems so it is easy for him to turn away.”

        Jerome Rodrigues, a leader in the movement, said on Saturday the postponement of Macron’s speech was calculated.

        “The world stops turning when there is a fire in France?” he wondered during an interview on French television.

        “I think it was a government strategy to get some information leaked to buy time to then better sell us his new programme, changes he wants to make that we are denouncing here at the demonstration.”

        ‘Protesters have a point’

        “These protests aren’t going to end any time soon,” said French radio personality and political commentator Jean-Michel Aphatie.

        But without concrete goals and a clear leader, Aphatie said the movement is struggling to be effective and bring concrete change.

        “The only thing they know for sure is that they want to go out every Saturday to protest,” he said, referring to the fact the protests have run continuously every Saturday since November 17, even though they have grown smaller.

        Even so, he added the protest did have legitimacy. The French have seen their purchasing power decline over the years and many are struggling to make ends meet.

        “It’s difficult to say the protests are no longer legitimate because of the Notre Dame fire,” Aphatie said. “Life goes on. And so do the Yellow Vests.”

        (CNN)The FBI has arrested a member of an armed militia that had detained hundreds of migrants at the border this week, the New Mexico attorney general’s office said Saturday.

        The report summarized and elaborated on false statements, exploring why so many people lied, changed their stories and issued misleading statements to both the public and federal authorities — all of which helped fuel the investigation.

        One of those instances came when it was reported that Mr. Trump asked Mr. McGahn to fire Mr. Mueller. Mr. Trump denied the reports to reporters but Mr. McGahn confirmed them to investigators.

        After the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, was fired, Mr. Trump wanted the deputy attorney general, Rod J. Rosenstein, to tell the news media that the firing was Mr. Rosenstein’s idea. Mr. Rosenstein refused, saying that if “the press asked him he would tell the truth,” the report said.

        While Mr. Trump has called unflattering reports about his behavior as president “fake news,” some of the most unflattering stories about Mr. Trump were accurate, and White House officials often knew that was the case even as they heaped criticism on journalists.

        Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor and father of White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, lashed out at Senator Mitt Romney over his critical statement about President Trump.

        “Know what makes me sick, Mitt?” Mike Huckabee tweeted Friday. “Not how disingenuous you were to take @realDonaldTrump $$ and then 4 yrs later jealously trash him & then love him again when you begged to be Sec of State, but makes me sick that you got GOP nomination and could have been @POTUS.”

        The tweet was posted shortly after Romney issued his statement on the release of the redacted Mueller report.

        “I am sickened at the extent and pervasiveness of dishonesty and misdirection by individuals in the highest office of the land, including the President,” Romney said.

        “I am also appalled that, among other things, fellow citizens working in a campaign for president welcomed help from Russia-including information that had been illegally obtained; that none of them acted to inform American law enforcement; and that the campaign chairman was actively promoting Russian interests in Ukraine,” Romney continued.

        “Reading the report is a sobering revelation of how far we have strayed from the aspirations and principles of the founders,” he further noted.
