A participante de um episódio da segunda temporada do programa “Catfish”, Ashley Sawyer, morreu aos 23 anos nos Estados Unidos. Segundo a MTV americana, responsável pela série, a causa da morte é desconhecida.

“A MTV está profundamente triste por saber que Ashley Sawyer morreu”, afirmou a emissora em nota. “Nossas condolências, pensamentos e orações vão à sua família e aos seus amigos.”

“Catfish” é uma série-documentário que investiga pessoas com relacionamentos pela internet e que mentem sobre sua identidade aos parceiros virtuais.

O episódio com a participação de Sawyer foi transmitido nos EUA em 2013. O capítulo mostrou que tanto ela quanto Michael Fortunato, com quem Sawyer tinha um relacionamento digital por sete anos, mentiam um para o outro.

Ele morreu um mês depois da transmissão aos 26 anos de idade por embolia pulmonar.

À MTV americana, a irmã de Sawyer, Jessica Ross, afirmou que Ashley havia completado um programa de reabilitação e morava no Alabama.

Além deles, novos personagens vão aparecer nesse núcleo, como é o caso de Natan (Paulo Vilela), um servo manco de Jetro que, tocado pelos acontecimentos, também vai caminhar rumo à terra prometida. Essa nova temporada trará a irmã de Damarina, Zípora, se envolvendo em um triângulo amoroso com Moisés (Guilherme Winter) e Radina (Aisha Jambo).

Imagens das câmeras de segurança de um posto de gasolina no Rio mostram um tumulto entre quatro nadadores americanos e seguranças do local na manhã de domingo (14). Segundo a polícia, com base nas imagens e em depoimentos, foi excluída a hipótese de os atletas terem sido assaltados, como havia sido relatado pelos nadadores Ryan Lochte e James Feigen. Os investigadores disseram nesta quinta-feira (18) que os americanos inventaram o roubo.

O vídeo, obtido pela TV Globo, mostra os nadadores saindo do banheiro do posto. Segundo a polícia e funcionários do estabelecimento, eles depredaram o local. Por isso, teriam sido impedidos por seguranças de deixar o posto, que fica na Barra da Tijuca, no caminho entre a Lagoa, onde estavam em uma festa, e a Vila Olímpica.

As imagens mostram um dos nadadores levantando as mãos quando os segurança os abordam. Em entrevista a uma emissora de TV americana no domingo, pouco depois do episódio, Lochte teria dito que o grupo foi abordado por homens vestidos de policiais.

O diretor de comunicação do Comitê Olímpico do Rio 2016, Mario Andrada, chegou a se desculpar com os nadadores dos EUA pelo suposto assalto.

Depoimento de seguranças
A Globo teve acesso com exclusividade aos depoimentos dos funcionários do posto, que contaram detalhes do que viram na manhã de domingo:

– por volta das 6h da manhã, um táxi modelo sedan estacionou no posto para que os passageiros utilizassem o banheiro;

– desembarcaram do carro quatro homens, de grande porte físico e estatura, um deles chamou atenção por ter cabelos azulados quase brancos, que pela fotografia se reconhece como sendo Ryan Lochte;

– em determinado momento, o gerente ficou muito nervoso e preocupado, chamou o segurança para que o ajudasse a controlar os visitantes que faziam “algazarra” nos fundos do estabelecimento;

– o gerente mostrou o banheiro onde homens haviam quebrado saboneteira, papeleira e uma placa de ferro com banner informativo. Imediatamente, o segurança acionou o 190, sendo lhe solicitado que todos esperassem no local até a chegada de uma viatura da Polícia Militar. A viatura não chegou;

– os quatro homens entraram no táxi na intenção de saírem do local, mas o taxista respeitou a solicitação dos seguranças e permaneceu parado;

– os nadadores gritaram palavrões várias vezes. Eles desembarcaram novamente do táxi e bateram a porta do veículo violentamente. Segundo os depoimentos, os nadadores estavam muito alterados, agressivos e claramente bêbados;

– um homem reconhecido pela fotografia como Joseph Gunnar Bentz mostrou uma nota de US$ 20, esticando-a com as duas mãos e falando debochadamente em português muito ruim: “Vinte dólares! Sessenta reais”;

– os seguranças mostraram suas credenciais e se identificaram como agentes de segurança. Ryam Lochte e James Feigen saíram correndo;

– um dos seguranças disse que ele e o amigo pararam os outros dois nadadores e mostraram a palma da mão (em posição de “pare”), indicando que não aceitariam os US$ 20;

– Lochte e Feigen retornaram ao posto de gasolina, agressivos;

– outro segurança sacou a sua arma e gritou para que todos parassem e sentassem no chão. Com exceção de Ryan Lochte, os demais obdeceram;

– outro segurança sacou a arma e gritou para que todos parassem;

– um segurança colocou a mão no peito de Lochte e o empurrou em direção ao chão,
fato respeitado pelo estrangeiro, que estão sentou-se;

– um funcionário da Unimed ofereceu ajuda na tradução. Após alguns minutos de conversa com os nadadores, os funcionários do posto receberam os US$ 20 e mais R$ 100 em razão do dano causado no banheiro;

– o funcionário da Unimed falou com os estrangeiros que eles podiam ir;

– no depoimento, um funcionário disse não ter certeza, mas acreditar que os estrangeiros retornaram para o mesmo táxi no qual tinham chegado por volta das 6h20 ou 6h30, quando o veículo saiu do local;

– a viatura da PM não havia chegado ao local até às 7h

De acordo com Fernando Veloso, Chefe de Polícia Civil do Rio, os atletas devem desculpas aos cariocas. “A única verdade que eles contaram é que eles estavam bêbados”, disse.

Impedidos de embarcar
Na noite desta quarta-feira (17), os nadadores americanos Gunnar Bentz e Jack Conger foram impedidos de embarcar em um voo de volta aos EUA pela Polícia Federal (PF). Bentz e Conger foram retirados do avião.

Pouco antes, a Justiça havia mandado apreender o passaporte dos dois, para que prestassem depoimento, como testemunhas.

Levados para a delegacia, Bentz e Conger ficaram calados.  “A delegacia diz que eles são testemunhas, e o despacho do juiz diz outra coisa. Enquanto isso não for solucionado, eles não vão prestar depoimento”, afirmou Sérgio Riera, advogado dos nadadores, como mostrou o Bom Dia Rio.

Ele diz que os clientes estão “muito assustados” e sem entender por que foram impedidos de embarcar. Após quase 4 horas na delegacia, Gunnar Bentz e Jack Conger foram liberados no início da madrugada desta quinta (18), por volta de 1h20, e se hospedaram em um hotel próximo ao Galeão.

O Comitê Olimpíco dos EUA havia divulgado na manhã desta quarta uma nota dizendo que os três nadadores que ainda estão no Brasil – Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and James Feigen – cooperam para agendar novos depoimentos às autoridades brasileiras. “Todos são representados por um advogado e são apoiados pelo comitê olímpico e pelo Consulado dos EUA no Rio”, diz o texto.

Ryan Lochte deixou o Brasil na última segunda-feira (15), informou a PF. Feigen segue no Brasil, mas não teve sua localização revelada pelo Comitê Olímpico dos Estados Unidos. Segundo a Polícia Civil, o inquérito sobre o caso pode ser concluído ainda nesta quinta (18).

Interrogatório por carta
A polícia vai enviar por ofício ao FBI uma relação de perguntas para que Ryan Lochte, 12 vezes medalhista olímpico, responda, dos EUA, por carta precatória.

As duas decisões de proibir a saída dos nadadores foram do Juizado Especial do Torcedor e Grandes Eventos, a pedido da Deat. A Polícia Federal notificou o Consulado dos EUA e o Comitê Olímpico americano para impedir a saída dos nadadores, mas não havia recebido resposta até a noite de quarta.

Em nota, o Comitê Olímpico Americano informou que o time de natação deixou a Vila logo após o fim das competições e que, por questões de segurança, não poderia confirmar a localização de cada atleta.

Instigados a dar mais detalhes do assalto, Feigen e Lochte disseram que não se lembravam porque estavam muito bêbados após deixarem a festa. A polícia ainda procura o taxista que teria levado os nadadores da Lagoa à Vila Olímpica.

Em entrevista à rede de TV norte-americana NBC, já nos EUA, Ryan Lochte deu uma terceira versão para o suposto assalto, diferente da que havia contado em uma outra entrevista no domingo e do que relatou à polícia em depoimento.

Lochte disse também que, ao depor na polícia no Rio, foi tratado com muita cordialidade, que os policiais fizeram poucas perguntas e não pediram que ele ficasse para as investigações. Na entrevista, o nadador reclamou que está sendo tratado como suspeito, quando é vítima.

Question: Secretary Nuland, welcome to the show, welcome to Portugal. First question on the issue of Ukraine. Do you believe that the United States and Europe have different positions on Ukraine. Are we in sort of a war between U.S. and Europe because of Ukraine?

Assistant Secretary Nuland: Well, first, Nuno, let me just say how great it is to be back in Portugal and at this very important moment in our relationship and for Portugal. Congratulations on the 40th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution. I think Portugal has an enormous amount to teach Ukraine and frankly to teach Russia. You made the transition to democracy without a drop of blood being spilled and that is what the people of Ukraine want for themselves. I don’t think that the United States and Europe have different positions. In fact, today we both said to Russia that we are dissatisfied with Russia’s implementation of the Geneva Agreement of less than two weeks ago. That we do not see the commitment that they promised to make to help stabilize Ukraine and, on the contrary, they are playing a negative, destabilizing role and, therefore, there have to be costs and we both imposed fresh sanctions today.

Question: You know what the Russians are saying is that, although they understand what they call the struggle of Eastern parts of Ukraine. They are not present militarily so the people that are there are grass roots people, probably some Cossacks, probably some paramilitary groups but not Russia as a state. Would you agree with that statement?

Assistant Secretary Nuland: That is complete garbage. We have high confidence in our assessment and, frankly, it is Europe’s assessment as well that Russia is playing a concrete role in organizing, funding, assisting, arming these protests and is playing an extremely destabilizing and dangerous role inside Ukraine, let alone the threatening moves that it is making with its 40,000 troops around Ukraine’s borders. Ten battalions of which went right up to the borders just a couple of days ago.

Question: Yeah, but that is the forces that are on the border. I am saying the forces that are inside of east Ukraine.

Assistant Secretary Nuland: And I said Russia is playing a concrete role. It has its own intelligence forces inside Ukraine who are organizing, coordinating, arming and funding the destabilization in the east. There are obviously some Ukrainians participating as well, but they are not the best actors inside eastern Ukraine and, in fact, if you look at the polling – Ukrainian polling, American polling, and European polling – that polling indicates that less than 18% of Ukrainians want anything to do with what Russia is proposing.

Question: I know you have discussed this topic with Christiane Amanpour, among others, but who is calling the shots in Moscow? Do you see this as a rational product of Russian foreign policy? You are a consummate diplomat, you are a professional diplomat. You have seen Russia in several shapes and forms. Is this a decision of a man or of a system? Do you see any rationality behind this Russian position?

Assistant Secretary Nuland: I believe, through my own experience, that you have to listen to what leaders say and believe what they say. We have a President in Russia who is talking about his greatest regret is the fall of the Soviet Union, who is invoking the period of Catherine the Great, one of the biggest expanders of the Russian empire, who is talking about “novo Russia” a time when half of Ukraine was part of Russia so you have to take him seriously when he says that is his aspiration.

Question: So people would argue that lots of problems that Ukraine is facing now are also due to their own incompetence, division, corruption, infiltration by other forces and surely also the fact that they are demoralized and maybe weakened at this moment, would you agree that?

Assistant Secretary Nuland: Absolutely, that is what Maidan was about. Maidan was about first the young people of Ukraine, but then old people and business people saying we want to turn the page on an era of corruption, on an era of bad government, on an era of a few rich people stealing the wealth of the country. We want to live in a clean, democratic country. That is what they are fighting for and that is what the U.S. and Europe are supporting. And that is what Russia is trying to deny them.

Question: As you know, Ukrainian Special Forces are hesitant to enter in to town centers because they do not want to arrest civilians, who are being used, apparently, as human shields, and so the operation is very difficult for the Ukrainians. If the operation doesn’t work, if the status quo continues, if everything continues to be occupied in those cities, the public buildings continue to be occupied, what is there to be done besides sanctions?

Assistant Secretary Nuland: Well, first to say, as you said, that the Ukrainians and their security services have shown enormous restraint in the face of the kind of terrorist, aggressive, vicious tactics that are being undertaken by the militants, and by the pro-Russian separatists. As you know, just this weekend, eight international monitors, OSCE monitors, taken hostage and taken to the dungeons of Slavyansk, now this awful epicenter of everything that is going wrong in Ukraine. Obviously, if Russia doesn’t change course. If it doesn’t allow Ukraine the breathing space to make its own choices, it is going to have to continue to cost and those sanctions and that isolation will just escalate. But, at the same time, the U.S. and Europe are intent, President Obama is intent, on leaving the door open for diplomacy, if Russian will change course. That is what our meeting in Geneva was about. But Russia has to make a choice. It can be a good neighbor or it can face isolation.

Question: Final thing because I know you are running out of time. One of the questions that Ukraine has to solve is that…

Assistant Secretary Nuland: What about something about Portugal? Are we going to talk about Portugal at all?

Question: Yes, we can say just one thing but just tell me one thing. Ukraine is very dependent, as Portugal is, on energy that comes from abroad. They don’t produce enough energy by themselves; we also feel that in another domain. How can it be solved for them to be less dependent on Russia?

Assistant Secretary Nuland: Well, first of all, you are absolutely right. This is one of the great difficulties that Ukraine faces, that other countries in Europe face, the great dependence on Russian energy. That is why we are working so hard as a transatlantic community, to diversify supply, to diversify types of energy. In the Ukraine context, the U.S. and Europe are working together: John Kerry, Cathy Ashton, Commissioner Oettinger were together two weeks ago to look at reverse flow, to move gas from Poland and Hungary and Slovakia back into Ukraine and we’re being relatively successful at that. But, you know, Ukraine is also exploring alternatives like shale gas and, if that works out, Ukraine will be a very rich country, very soon.

Question: Finally, about Portugal.

Assistant Secretary Nuland: Yes.

Question: How would you describe the present state of relations? We do not appear to have any storm between Portugal and the United States except for the questions of Lajes that gathered lots of opinions recently. Do you think there is a problem between Portugal and the United States because of the Azores base?

Assistant Secretary Nuland: We are great, strong allies. We so appreciate the transatlantic spirit and the global commitment of Portugal. What I wanted to say today is how proud we are of Portugal and the Portuguese people. How you have weathered these three years of difficulty. The intense reforms that you have undertaken and we have enormous confidence in Portugal’s future and what we want is for Portugal, and the Portuguese people, to have confidence in their future. Which is why I was here today talking with young entrepreneurs, the next generation, talking about the transatlantic trade and investment partnership that we are going to do that is going to bring jobs and growth on both sides of the Atlantic. We want to see Portugal continue to be that transatlantic engine of growth, the connection between U.S. and Europe that is going to make us all stronger and more prosperous. With regard to Lajes, we have a long, historic security relationship in the Azores. It is time now to broaden and deepen that relationship so it is also about economic opportunity, it is about protecting the environment, it is about tourism. We will continue to have a security relationship but let’s do more than that in the Azores.

Question: Have a safe flight.

Assistant Secretary Nuland: Thank you Nuno.

Rafael Abdulmassih/Arab Brazilian Chamber

Brazilian stand: very busy

São Paulo – The Brazilian products being exhibited at the Khartoum International Fair, which started this Thursday (30) in the Sudanese capital city, are catching the eye of the public. According to the Business and Markets Manager at the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce, Rafael Abdulmassih, who is in the country, the space reserved for Brazil is always busy, with visits by consumers and entrepreneurs alike. The exhibit is open to the general public. The Arab Chamber is responsible for the Brazilian stand at the fair, together with the Brazilian Foreign Office, Itamaraty.

One of the exhibiting firms is Fame, manufacturer of electric showers. The device that heats the water is built into the shower, while in Sudan there is an apparatus separated from the shower, which many times is installed on the outside of the home. According to Abdulmassih, as well as the Sudanese, entrepreneurs from other countries, such as Jordan and Egypt, have stopped by the Brazilian stand to ask for information about the product.

According to the manager, the hair cosmetics by Kans BR have also attracted attention from the public in Khartoum. Businessmen want to know if the product is available in the Sudanese market. Ever since she landed in Sudan, the owner of Kans BR, Katia Timani, has been showing her products to professionals in beauty salons. On Thursday (30), she visited a market and a wholesale warehouse in the city of Omdurman.

The Brazilian delegation visited other places, apart from the fair, to evaluate the local market, such as the Afra Mall and supermarket Sena Mart. According to Abdulmassih, who is representing the Arab Chamber in the trip together with the entity’s Business Executive Rafael Solimeo, there are other visits scheduled for the group. The other company participating in the Brazilian stand is CTC, which imports agricultural machinery from Brazil and represents them at the fair.

The exhibit is taking place at the Sudanese Freezone, in six pavilions, in an open area with entertainment activities. The fair was inaugurated by the Deputy Prime-Minister of Sudan, Bakri Hassan Salih, and the Brazilian space received a visit from the Secretary General of the Sudanese Employers Association, Bakri Yousef. The Brazilian ambassador in Khartoum, Antonio Carlos do Nascimento Pedro, visited the stand with Minister Counselor Patrícia Lima, and will meet with Brazilian entrepreneurs in the coming days.

La National Public Radio (NPR) hizo un gran anuncio: eliminará la capacidad de los usuarios para dar sus comentarios al final de cada nota publicada en su sitio.

“Hemos llegado al punto en el que nos hemos dado cuenta de que hay otras formas mejores para lograr el mismo tipo de discusión entre la comunidad en torno a los asuntos que consideramos en nuestro periodismo”, explicó Scott Montgomery, jefe de redacción de noticias digitales de NPR.

Ésta es una excelente noticia. Y todos los demás medios de comunicación principales deben seguir su ejemplo.

No, no estoy en contra de la Primera Enmienda. Y, no, no soy de piel tan delgada que no puedo aguantar las críticas. Ni soy tan arrogante como para creer que tengo la manera correcta de ver todo en el mundo político.

Al Jazeera America, el medio condenado al fracaso

Pero odio las secciones de comentarios de los sitios web de los medios o, más bien, he llegado a odiarlos. Cuando empecé este blog en el 2006, pasé un montón de tiempo pensando en la sección de comentarios y el cuidado de la misma. Regularmente iba a las secciones de comentarios para interactuar (o tratar de interactuar) con los lectores. Lo incentivé y también lo delegué para mantener el orden de los comentarios.

Entonces me di por vencido. Debido a que ninguna de las tácticas o estrategias que probamos tenía ningún efecto real sobre la calidad del diálogo. Sin importar de lo que el post original fuera, un puñado de las más fuertes, o más comprometidas, voces en la sala secuestraron el hilo de comentarios para impulsar sus propias agendas. Cualquiera que tratara de regresar la conversación hacia el tema en cuestión —o incluso algo que se aproxime al tema en cuestión— era silenciado y humillado.

Era lo contrario de lo que la comunidad estaba tratando de construir. En lugar de proporcionar un lugar donde los adictos a la política podrían intercambiar pensamientos, ideas y chistes sobre la escena política, la sección de comentarios se convirtió en un pueblo en el que el chico más gritón y más detestable se nombró el alcalde.

De lo que también me he dado cuenta —gracias al incremento del software que permite el análisis cuantitativo en tiempo real de lo que se está leyendo— fue que el número de personas que comentaban era minúsculo en comparación con el público en general para el blog. Fue casi como mi primer año en la universidad. Asumí que todo el mundo salía a emborracharse todas las noches debido a que las personas que lo estaban haciendo eran DEMASIADO RUIDOSAS. Sólo más tarde me di cuenta de que los gritones y la muchedumbre que fiestea todo el tiempo era una minoría y que había un montón de personas a las que tampoco les parecía.

NPR encontró la misma cosa. Estas estadísticas son elocuentes: En julio, NPR.org registró casi 33 millones de usuarios únicos y 491,000 comentarios. Pero esos comentarios vinieron de tan sólo 19,400 comentaristas, de acuerdo con Montgomery. Eso es 0.06% de los usuarios, un número que se ha mantenido constante hasta el 2016, agregó.

Si alguien pide ayuda en Facebook, ¿quién responde?

Números como éstos dejan claro que las secciones de comentarios no están impulsando las conversaciones, las están matando. Un grupo muy pequeño de personas están dominando todas las conversaciones, lo que hace más difícil para alguien que, por ejemplo, puede ser un experto en un tema en particular opinar, por temor a ser reprendido por tratar de entrar en el club.

El auge de las plataformas de medios sociales como Twitter y Facebook, —así como los sitios más de nicho de preguntas y respuestas como Quora— han hecho cada vez más obsoletas las secciones de comentarios también. No, no todo el mundo tiene una cuenta de Twitter o una página de Facebook, pero 1) la tendrán en breve y 2) el acceso a la conversación en torno a un tema o historia en particular es mucho más fácil en estas plataformas que tratar de navegar por las torpes secciones de comentarios de la mayoría de los medios.

El mejor de los casos para retener los comentarios está en proporcionar una moderación en tiempo real de ellos para mantener la conversación lo más cerca posible del tema y lo más lejos posible de ser mezquina. Pero incluso eso es poco práctico por dos razones principales.

Animal Político, un sitio basado en contenido en lugar de clics

En primer lugar, tiene un costo prohibitivo. Ningún medio puede permitirse tener empleados que supervisen cada pieza de contenido —o incluso la mitad, o incluso una décima— que se publica todos los días. En segundo lugar, el seguimiento de los comentarios trae sus propios problemas. ¿Quién es el monitor? ¿Cómo deciden qué comentarios son buenos y cuáles son malos? ¿Ser partidario hace a un comentario malo? ¿Por qué? Y así sucesivamente, hasta el infinito.

Voy a ser el primero en admitir que inclinarse porque las secciones de comentarios mueran parece y se siente, a primera vista, profundamente antidemocrático.

Pero eso es porque probablemente estás pensando en tu visión platónica de una sección de comentarios —en la que alguien que nunca has conocido ofrece un gran artículo, sobre el tema que te perdiste, entablas una amistad, se conectan en el mundo real y se convierten en los mejores de los amigos para siempre . Lo cual no nunca ocurre.

Lo que la sección de comentarios en realidad es, en este entorno de medios partidistas sobrealimentados, es un pozo de barro donde la única regla es que no hay reglas. Y, por definición, al luchar en un pozo de barro, nadie sale limpio. Así que, bien por ti, NPR por tomar una posición en contra de las secciones de comentarios. Espero que todos en los medios sigan tu ejemplo. Ayudaría nuevamente a hacer una gran conversación en línea, o tal vez un poco menos peor.

Chris Cillizza escribe The Fix, un blog para The Washington Post.

A 19-year-old Florida protester was found dead over the weekend — after vanishing the same day she tweeted about being sexually assaulted, police said Monday.

The body of Oluwatoyin Salau, who took part in Black Lives Matter protests in Tallahassee, was discovered late Saturday as officers investigated a missing person case, Tallahassee police said.

A second woman, Victoria Sims, 75, who had also been reported missing, was found dead nearby.

Aaron Glee Jr., 49, has been arrested in connection with the slayings, but police did not elaborate on any alleged relationship between him and the women.

“There is no further information to release at this time,” Tallahassee police said in a statement.

A message seeking additional comment from police Monday was not immediately returned.

Glee, who lives on Monday Road — where Salau’s body was found — was taken into custody May 30 on a charge of aggravated battery causing bodily harm or disability.

Neither Salau nor Sims was the victim in that case, according to court records cited by the Tallahassee Democrat.

A woman told cops she was drinking with Glee when he propositioned her for sex and assaulted her when she declined his offer, police said.

Glee was arrested on a battery charge on June 9, three days after Salau was reported missing. Police reports in that incident were not immediately available, according to the newspaper.

Salau, who was also known as Toyin, had reportedly been active at protests in Tallahassee, where she recited the names of black people recently killed by police, including George Floyd in Minneapolis and Tony McDade in Tallahassee in May.

“I don’t want their names gone in vain,” Salau said during a demonstration outside the Tallahassee Police Department last month.

“Toyin was very passionate,” friend Danaya Hemphill told the newspaper. “She was very vocal, she was very loving, very spiritual, very caring. Toyin, she was like a light in a dark room. That was Toyin.”

Hemphill, 22, last saw Salau one day before she vanished and expected the worst, she said.

“I had a feeling that we were not going to find Toyin alive,” Hemphill told the newspaper.

Salau, who was discovered a few miles from where she was last seen at a library, detailed an alleged sexual assault on the day she disappeared, WTXL reported.

“Anyways I was molested in Tallahassee, Florida by a black man this morning at 5:30 on Richview and Park Ave,” she tweeted.

“The man offered to give me a ride to find someplace to sleep and recollect my belongings from a church I refuged to a couple days back to escape unjust living conditions.”

Federal agents posing as potential terrorists and munitions sellers arrested a Georgia man in a plot to blast his way into the West Wing of the White House with an anti-tank rocket, according to court papers and prosecutors.

Hasher Jallal Taheb, 21, of Cummings, Georgia, met with undercover agents on Wednesday and traded his car for semi-automatic assault rifles, remote-controlled explosives and grenades, and an anti-tank rocket, according to an FBI affidavit.

He planned to blow out a door of the West Wing to gain entry, using as many weapons as possible to inflict carnage, court papers said. He also told at least one agent that he wanted to fire a rocket at the Statue of Liberty, the FBI said.

Unbeknownst to Taheb, the weapons he received on the back of a tractor-trailer had been rendered inert by the FBI. He was arrested within moments of “obtaining” the weaponry, according to prosecutors.

“It is important to point out that this investigation and arrest were the direct result of a tip from the community, another example of how important it is to contact law enforcement if you see or hear something suspicious,” said Chris Hacker, special agent in charge of the FBI in Atlanta.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether Taheb had an attorney who could comment on the allegations, the Associated Press reported.

The tipster alerted authorities that Taheb had recently become radicalized, changed his name and planned to travel abroad, the FBI affidavit said.

The affidavit says Taheb told a confidential FBI source in October that he planned to travel abroad for “hijra,” which the agent wrote refers to traveling to territory controlled by the Islamic State. Because he didn’t have a passport, he couldn’t travel abroad and told the FBI source that he wanted to carry out an attack in the U.S. against the White House and the Statue of Liberty.

Federal authorities say Taheb appears to have acted as a lone wolf in the plan.

“All potential threats have been neutralized and under control from the inception of this case. Again, I want to clarify that there were no threats posed to any targets located in Northern District of Georgia, nor was the upcoming Super Bowl a target of his alleged activity,” said Byung J. “BJay” Pak, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia. 

He met with the undercover agent and the FBI source multiple times last month and was also in frequent contact using an encrypted messaging application, the affidavit says.

During one meeting with the agent and the source, Taheb “advised that if they were to go to another country, they would be one of many, but if they stayed in the United States, they could do more damage,” the affidavit says. Taheb “explained that jihad was an obligation, that he wanted to do as much damage as possible, and that he expected to be a ‘martyr,’ meaning he expected to die during the attack.”

At another meeting, Taheb showed the undercover agent a hand-drawn diagram of the ground floor of the West Wing and detailed a plan for attack, the affidavit says. He asked the undercover agent to obtain the weapons and explosives needed to carry out the attack, and they discussed selling or exchanging their cars to pay for them.

Taheb told the undercover agent they needed a “base” where they could regroup and where he could record a video to motivate people: “He stated he would be the narrator, clips of oppressed Muslims would be shown, and American and Israeli flags would be burned in the background.”

Taheb said they would approach the White House from the back road, causing a distraction for police and proceed to use an anti-tank weapon to blow open a door and then take down as many people and do as much damage as possible, the affidavit says.

Taheb is charged with attempting to damage or destroy a building owned by the United States using fire or an explosive.

Joe Manchin, a key vote in the effort to pass federal voting rights legislation, on Thursday said he and a group of Texas House Democrats, who have fled their state in an effort to block restrictive voting bills, have come to a “total agreement” on what they want, which is “basically to protect voting rights.”

El rechazo hacia Donald Trump en California es especialmente notable entre los mexicanos.

Banderas de México, piñatas y muñecos con la imagen de Donald Trump recibieron este viernes al precandidato republicano antes de su participación en la convención del Partido Republicano de California en Burlingame, cerca de San Francisco.

Cientos de personas se congregaron frente al hotel donde se celebra la convención para mostrar su rechazo hacia Trump, quien lidera la carrera por la nominación de su partido para las elecciones presidenciales del 8 noviembre en EE.UU.

Agentes del servicio secreto escoltaron a Trump, que tuvo que cruzar una carretera a pie para poder entrar en el edificio por una entrada lateral.

“Sentí como si estuviera cruzando la frontera”, dijo Trump al comenzar su intervención en la convención, que se retrasó más de una hora.

El precandidato republicano no quiso cancelar su participación en el encuentro de su partido en California.

El multimillonario señaló que los miembros de los servicio de seguridad le propusieron que diera la vuelta y regresara al estado de Indiana pero no aceptó, porque, según dijo, “no podía decepcionar a sus seguidores”.

Choques violentos

Las protestas de este viernes no fueron tan violentas como las del jueves, cuando partidarios y oponentes de Trump chocaron mientras el precandidato ofrecía un mitin a su llegada a California.

Los manifestantes bloquearon el tráfico en Costa Mesa, en el condado de Orange, y la policía arrestó a al menos a 17 personas.

El motivo principal de las protestas es la posición de Trump respecto a los inmigrantes, especialmente los mexicanos, y su promesa de deportar a millones de indocumentados si llega a la presidencia.

Sus propuestas han generado gran oposición en algunas zonas de California, en particular entre los mexicanos que residen en el estado.

Donald Trump tiene también seguidores entre los latinos.

La periodista de BBC Mundo en Los Ángeles, Beatriz Díez, señala que, durante los choques del jueves, los partidarios de Trump gritaban “¡Construye ese muro! ¡Construye ese muro!” en referencia a la promesa de Trump de construir un muro en la frontera entre EE.UU. y México que además sería financiado por el gobierno mexicano.

La tensión degeneró en el lanzamiento de piedras a conductores mientras otros manifestantes se subieron a un auto de policía, rompiendo los vidrios.

Figura que polariza

El magnate no pareció perturbado por los disturbios y, después de su discurso, tuiteó: “¡Gracias Costa Mesa, California! 31.000 personas esta noche y miles que no pudieron entrar. ¡Volveré! #Trump2016”.

La campaña de Trump ha estado marcada por la violencia entre sus partidarios y oponentes.

El hecho más destacado ocurrió en la Universidad de Illinois, Chicago, el 11 de marzo.

Ese día el mitin tuvo que ser suspendido tras estallar varias peleas dentro el auditorio.

Tal como se están desarrollando las primarias, California se ha convertido en el premio más grande para los candidatos republicanos en la carrera por la nominación.

Las primarias de este estado son el 7 de junio.

Don your jackets and mittens. You’re going to need them.

The next five to seven days won’t just be cold — they’ll be record-breaking cold.

That’s according to data from the National Weather Service, which predicts over 300 record cold temperatures could be tied or set from Monday to Wednesday.

It’s all part of the Arctic blast that’s hitting the East Coast, bringing the coldest air of the season to the eastern two-thirds of the country. On Monday, temperatures are expected to plummet in the Great Plains before moving farther east on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Lows Monday night into Tuesday morning will be more like January temperatures across the Central US. Readings below zero are forecast for parts of Minnesota and temperatures down into the teens are forecast for as far south as Texas.

On Wednesday, almost 100 record lows could be set from the Deep South to the Northeast.

Some places in the East could experience temperatures on Wednesday afternoon that are up to 30 degrees below average, said CNN meteorologist Taylor Ward.

Freeze watches and warnings extend as far south as Florida.

Snow will fall from the Rockies to New England

More than 70 million people could see accumulating snow from Colorado to Maine, says CNN meteorologist Dave Hennen. Winter warnings or advisories stretch from the Midwest to New England.

Snow fell during Monday morning commutes in Detroit, Kansas City, Chicago and Milwaukee.

The heaviest snow will fall from New England, back toward the Great Lakes, where more than a foot of snow is likely in some locations.

Enhanced lake-effect snow is forecast to produce even higher snow totals in the areas where the snow bands set up. That happens when very cold, windy conditions form over a not-so-cold lake, with the water providing a water source that leads to snow.

Kirstjen Nielsen says she still shares President Trump’s goal of securing the border, a day after she resigned as Homeland Security secy. (April 8)
AP

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump says his administration wants to pursue a “tougher direction” on immigration, and the president is overseeing a leadership purge at the top levels of the Department of Homeland Security to make it happen.

But what does a “tougher direction” mean? And does the president have new options following the resignation Sunday of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen?  

For some advocates, it’s about a cultural change. 

“Within DHS, there have been a lot of policy suggestions, small and large, that have been worked up but have been blocked by the people who are the heads of the agencies,” said Roy Beck, president of NumbersUSA, a group that advocates for lower levels of legal and illegal immigration.

Nielsen’s departure: After resigning, Kirstjen Nielsen says she supports Trump’s goal of ‘securing the border’

Nielsen: Homeland Security Secretary resigns amid migrant surge at US-Mexico border

A look at some of the ideas that may be on the table: 

Return to ‘zero tolerance’ 

Immigration advocacy groups were bracing Tuesday for the possibility that the Trump administration would return to the “zero tolerance” policy that led to the separation of thousands of migrant families

Then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a memo last year requiring that all immigrants entering the country illegally would be prosecuted. But a 1997 settlement in a federal court case required the U.S. to release children immigrants after 20 days. To honor both commitments, the Trump administration separated children and adults.

Trump backed down under immense pressure, signing an order in June to end family separations. Immigration advocates pointed to reports Monday that Trump and adviser Stephen Miller want to re-start the process with Nielsen gone. 

Key moments from Nielsen’s tenure: Migrant family separations, heckling

Nielsen resignation: Donald Trump’s Cabinet agencies are increasingly led by ‘acting’ secretaries

“Trump and Stephen Miller’s desire to go in a ‘tougher direction’ means we are heading for an even more dangerous and draconian era,” said Kerri Talbot, director of federal advocacy for the advocacy group Immigration Hub.

“More families will be separated while Trump and Miller disregard the law and create chaos in our immigration system,” she said. 

‘Closing’ the border 

Trump repeatedly threatened to close the border last month before he retreated in recent days, arguing that Mexico had taken a more aggressive stance on apprehending Central American migrants in response to his words.

Closing all ports of entry along the U.S.-Mexico border would be a logistical and economic nightmare, experts say. Roughly $1.5 billion in trade takes place across the border every day. But past presidents – including Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan – took steps to slow traffic through checkpoints to send a political message to Mexico.

Reagan closed nine border crossings and increased inspections at the rest in 1985, a response to the abduction and murder of Drug Enforcement Agency agent Enrique Camarena. Nixon approved Operation Intercept during his first year in office, increasing inspections at U.S.-Mexico border crossings to stem the flow of drugs.

Mexican auto tariffs 

Trump threatened last week to impose a 25% tariff on all cars made in Mexico and shipped into the U.S. if the Mexican government stopped apprehending immigrants who cross the border illegally. If that doesn’t work, he said, then he would close the border.

The U.S., however, already has agreed not to impose tariffs on cars built in Mexico.

A new trade agreement the Trump administration negotiated last year with Mexico and Canada includes a side letter that specifically exempts a certain number of passenger vehicles from any new tariffs the U.S. might impose on autos under the guise of national security.

For Mexico, the agreement means that 2.6 million passenger cars would be exempted from any new tariffs.

Trump, however, said on Twitter that his latest threat to impose tariffs would “supersede” the new trade pact.

Asylum changes

Trump has sought to limit the number of people seeking asylum, claiming the system is a “scam” and that migrants only use the claims to get a foot in the door before disappearing rather than going through the process of confirming their eligibility.

Under Nielsen, the Trump administration sought to address that problem by requiring asylum claimants to remain in Mexico rather than entering the U.S. A federal judge Monday blocked that policy, ruling that DHS overstepped its legal authority.

Beck, with NumbersUSA, said the administration may now be considering changes to executive decisions made by past administrations.

Among those, for instance, would be deputizing Customs and Border Patrol agents to take a more substantial role in deciding whether asylum claimants have a credible case to remain in the country. Supporters said that move could speed up reviews so migrants who don’t meet asylum requirements are returned to their native country more quickly.   

“There are some innovative ideas that have to do with way regulations are put together,” Beck said .”One of the big knocks against the current DHS secretary is that a lot of proposals have gone to her office and just died there.”

Una foto de la cara de Marcelo Tinelli llena de tatuajes es la tapa de la revista, que tituló la nota con “El Tinelli que nadie cuenta”.

Noticias habla de la relación laboral que el conductor tiene con López, empresario kirchnerista, dueño del mayor porcentaje accionario de Ideas del Sur, la productora fundada por Tinelli y en la que antes fue socio el Grupo Clarín.

 “Cerca suyo confirman que Tinelli está incómodo con ciertas maniobras de su nuevo jefe-socio. De vacaciones, evitó opinar sobre la polémica salida de Antonio Laje y Oscar González Oro, por no encajar con la sintonía política que busca Indalo para el 2014. “¿Qué va a hacer? ¿Me va a echar a mí?”, desestimó ante sus colaboradores cuando surgió el tema en una reunión de trabajo. Tinelli confía en su propio peso para tomarse licencias. Si Clarín le permitió gestos como la presencia en el funeral de Néstor Kirchner, ¿por qué sería menos indulgente Cristóbal? Pero la tensión existe y el conductor no se resigna y padece no poder hacer lo-que-se-le-cante. Al punto que nadie termina de saber qué piensa en realidad”, dice la revista.

Además, la revista habla de cómo se prepara Tinelli en Punta del Este para su vuelta, el significado de su obsesión por dibujarse el cuerpo y el “mimetismo” con sus hijos adolescentes y la paternidad a los 54 años.

The massive cold weather front descending over the Midwest this week has commentators straining for analogies (“Deep Freeze,” “Arctic Outbreak” and “Ice Age”) and at least some people wondering what has become of global warming.

President Donald Trump and radio provocateur Rush Limbaugh seemed bemused by the notion that the climate is warming at a time when most of America will be hunkering down against sub-freezing temperatures.

But climate authorities, including those inside Trump’s government, said the record-setting cold does nothing to contradict the consensus on climate change. According to a tweet Tuesday morning from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration: “Winter storms don’t prove that global warming isn’t happening.”

According to a memo from Condé Nast president Bob Sauerberg, Pitchfork founder and CEO Ryan Schreiber is stepping down from his position. Schreiber founded the music publication in 1995, and it was sold to Condé in 2015. “I’m at a point in my life where I feel I have more to offer … and the idea of giving myself over to something new really excites me,” Schreiber told Billboard. “I’ve done so much with this platform and it’s been super rewarding and it’s been really amazing, but I feel like this is the time if I want to do something else and this is a particularly great time in terms of technology and how things are evolving.”
