    UK’s Theresa May clinches legally binding Brexit ‘backstop’ changes, deputy says – CNBC
    UK’s Theresa May clinches legally binding Brexit ‘backstop’ changes, deputy says – CNBC

    Europe Politics

    Prime Minister Theresa May won legally binding Brexit assurances from the European Union on Monday in a last ditch attempt to sway rebellious British lawmakers who have threatened to vote down her divorce deal again.

    Scrambling to plot an orderly path out of the Brexit maze just days before the United Kingdom is due to leave on March 29, May rushed to Strasbourg to agree additional assurances with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.

    Brexiteers in May’s party have accused her of surrendering to the EU and it was not clear if the assurances she agreed would be enough to win over the 116 additional lawmakers she needs reverse the crushing defeat her deal suffered on Jan. 15.

    “Today we have secured legal changes,” May said in a late night news conference in Strasbourg beside Juncker, exactly 17 days before the United Kingdom is due to leave the EU.

    “Now is the time to come together to back this improved Brexit deal and to deliver on the instruction of the British people,” May said.

    May announced three documents — a joint instrument, a joint statement and a unilateral declaration — which she said were aimed at addressing the most contentious part of the divorce deal she agreed in November: the Irish backstop.

    The backstop is an insurance policy aimed at avoiding controls on the sensitive border between the British province of Northern Ireland and EU member Ireland, though some British lawmakers worry it could trap the United Kingdom in the EU’s orbit indefinitely.

    On news of the breakthrough, sterling, which has see-sawed on Brexit headlines, jumped 0.8 percent to $1.3250 in Asian trade and rallied to the strongest against the euro since mid-2017.

    Last chance?

    After two-and-a-half years of haggling with Britain over Brexit, Juncker cautioned that this was the last chance for Britain.

    “There will be no third chance,” he said. “There will be no further interpretations of the interpretations; no further assurances of the re-assurances — if the meaningful vote tomorrow fails.”



    “It is this deal or Brexit might not happen at all,” he said. He said in a letter to EU summit chair Donald Tusk that if Britain didn’t leave by the May 23-26 elections, it would have to elect its own EU lawmakers.

    The United Kingdom’s tortuous crisis over EU membership is approaching its finale with an extraordinary array of outcomes still possible, including a delay, a last-minute deal, a no-deal Brexit, a snap election or even another referendum. The country voted to leave the EU in a 2016 plebiscite.

    The British parliament on Jan. 15 voted to reject May’s deal by 230 votes, the biggest defeat for a government in modern British history.

    Brexit votes

    May has promised lawmakers a vote on her deal on Tuesday. The motion put forward by the government said that the joint instrument “reduces the risk” that the United Kingdom would be trapped in the backstop.

    The immediate reaction was cautious from Brexit-supporting lawmakers in her own party and from the Northern Irish Democratic Unionist Party which props up her minority government.

    After Cabinet Office Minister David Lidington, who May’s de facto deputy, updated the British parliament on the talks, Brexit supporting lawmaker Steve Baker told BBC Radio: “It’s not for the first time that David has had to put a very good gloss on something which falls short of what was expected.”

    Lidington said that Britain and the EU had agreed an instrument to prevent the EU seeking to “trap” Britain in any backstop, work to replace the backstop by December 2020 and confirming pledges Britain has made for a lock on new EU laws applying to Northern Ireland.

    He also said that they had agreed a second document, a joint statement to expedite the negotiation of the future relationship.

    The DUP said it would study the documents.

    May was instructed by lawmakers to replace the backstop with alternative arrangements. The opposition Labour Party said she had fallen far short of her promises to parliament.

    If the backstop comes into force and talks on the future relationship break down with no prospect of an agreement, May said the unilateral declaration would make clear there was nothing to stop London from moving to leave the backstop.

    Brexit in peril?

    The British government’s top lawyer, Attorney General Geoffrey Cox, is due to set out his legal analysis of the assurances ahead of Tuesday’s vote. Many pro-Brexit lawmakers will wait to see that before deciding how to vote.

    If she loses the vote, May has said lawmakers will get a vote on Wednesday on whether to leave without a deal and, if they reject that, then a vote on whether to ask for a limited delay to Brexit.

    Senior British government ministers have warned rebellious lawmakers that if May’s deal is voted down then there is a chance that Brexit could be thwarted.

    Brexit will pitch the world’s fifth largest economy into the unknown and many fear it will serve to divide the West as it grapples with both the unconventional presidency of Donald Trump and growing assertiveness from Russia and China.

    Supporters of Brexit say that while the divorce might bring some short-term instability, in the longer term it will allow the United Kingdom to thrive and also enable deeper EU integration without such a powerful reluctant member.

    Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand defends handling of aide’s alleged sexual misconduct – ABC News
    Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand defends handling of aide’s alleged sexual misconduct – ABC News

    Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a 2020 presidential hopeful who has made fighting sexual assault the focus of her political career, is pushing back against claims made by a female staffer in her office who says she resigned last summer in protest over the office’s handling of a sexual harassment complaint against a top aide.

    When reached by ABC News late Monday, Gillibrand told ABC News she has no regrets about the way claims of sexual harassment made the female staffer were handled as outlined in POLITICO .

    “We conducted a thorough and professional investigation, and the person who was accused was punished,” Gillibrand said.

    Gillibrand’s office maintains that they took immediate action at the time the initial complaint was made in consultation with Senate Employment Counsel and included multiple interviews with relevant current employees who could corroborate the claims.

    “A full and thorough investigation into the evidence revealed employee misconduct that, while inappropriate, did not meet the standard for sexual harassment. However, because the office did find unprofessional behavior that violated office policy, including derogatory comments, the office took strong disciplinary action against the employee in question and he was given a final warning,” Gillibrand’s communications director Whitney Brennan said in a statement to ABC News.

    The male staffer was later fired.

    The female staffer alleges she told the senator’s staffers last summer that one of Gillibrand’s closest aides repeatedly made unwelcome advances and crude, misogynistic remarks in the office about other female colleagues and potential female hires after he was promoted to a supervisory role, according to POLITICO.

    Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand speaks to guests during a campaign stop at the Chrome Horse Saloon on Feb. 18, 2019 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

    In a subsequent resignation email which was obtained by POLITICO, the woman claimed she was leaving her post because of how “poorly the investigation and post-investigation,” into the matter was handled.

    “Your office chose to go against your public belief that women shouldn’t accept sexual harassment in any form and portrayed my experience as a misinterpretation instead of what it actually was: harassment and ultimately, intimidation,” the woman wrote, according to POLITICO.

    The correspondence appears to have been sent to the senator’s personal email account on the staffer’s final day – less than three weeks after she reported the alleged harassment.

    ABC News has not spoken directly with the woman nor verified the email.

    Gillibrand issued a statement to ABC News defending her office’s handling of both the sexual misconduct allegations and the subsequent investigation into the matter.

    “These are challenges that affect all of our nation’s workplaces, including mine, and the question is whether or not they are taken seriously. As I have long said, when allegations are made in the workplace, we must believe women so that serious investigations can actually take place, we can learn the facts, and there can be appropriate accountability. That’s exactly what happened at every step of this case last year. I told her that we loved her at the time and the same is true today,” Gillibrand said.

    Gillibrand’s office said the male staffer was fired last week after additional “troubling comments” he allegedly made were revealed.

    “Recently, we learned of never-before-reported and deeply troubling comments allegedly made by this same individual. The office immediately began another investigation and interviewed relevant witnesses, which has led to the office terminating the employee from staff last week,” Brennan said in a statement.

    She added: “Senator Gillibrand is committed to ensuring allegations are handled seriously, investigated, and followed by appropriate punishment, which is why she helped pass stronger sexual harassment protections in Congress and prioritizes proper harassment training to better prevent these occurrences and encourage future reporting.”

    ABC News’ John Verhovek contributed to this report.

    Pollution, much like wealth, is not distributed equally in the United States.

    Scientists and policymakers have long known that black and Hispanic Americans tend to live in neighborhoods with more pollution of all kinds, than white Americans. And because pollution exposure can cause a range of health problems, this inequity could be a driver of unequal health outcomes across the U.S.

    A study published Monday in the journal PNAS adds a new twist to the pollution problem by looking at consumption. While we tend to think of factories or power plants as the source of pollution, those polluters wouldn’t exist without consumer demand for their products.

    The researchers found that air pollution is disproportionately caused by white Americans’ consumption of goods and services, but disproportionately inhaled by black and Hispanic Americans.

    “This paper is exciting and really quite novel,” says Anjum Hajat, an epidemiologist at the University of Washington who was not involved in the study. “Inequity in exposure to air pollution is well documented, but this study brings in the consumption angle.”

    Hajat says the study reveals an inherent unfairness: “If you’re contributing less to the problem, why do you have to suffer more from it?”

    The study, led by engineering professor Jason Hill at the University of Minnesota, took over six years to complete. According to the paper’s first author Christopher Tessum, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Washington, the idea stemmed from a question at a conference.

    Tessum presented earlier research on how blacks and Hispanics are often more exposed to air pollutants than whites. After he finished, someone asked “if it would be possible to connect exposure to air pollution to who is doing the actual consuming,” says Tessum. According to Tessum, no one had ever tried to answer that question.

    It’s a big, complicated issue, but studying it could address a fundamental question: Are those who produce pollution, through their consumption of goods and services, fairly sharing in the costs?

    What kind of data could even answer such a multifaceted question? Let’s break it down:

    For any given area in the U.S., the researchers would need to know how polluted the air was, what communities were exposed to pollution, and the health effects of that level of exposure.

    Then, for the same area the researchers would need to identify the sources of that exposure (coal plants, factories, agriculture to name a few), and get a sense of what goods and services stem from those emissions (electricity, transportation, food).

    Finally, whose consumption of goods and services drives those sectors of the economy?

    “The different kinds of data, by themselves, aren’t that complicated,” says Tessum. “It’s linking them where things get a little trickier.”

    The most relevant air pollutant metric for human health is “particulate matter 2.5” or PM2.5. It represents the largest environmental health risk factor in the United States with higher levels linked to more cardiovascular problems, respiratory illness, diabetes and even birth defects. PM2.5 pollution is mostly caused by human activities, like burning fossil fuels or agriculture.

    The EPA collects these data through the National Emissions Inventory, which collates emissions from specific emitters, like coal plants or factories, measures of mobile polluters like cars or planes, and natural events like wildfires, painting a detailed picture of pollution across the U.S.

    The researchers generated maps of where different emitters, like agriculture or construction, caused PM2.5 pollution. Coal plants produced pockets of pollution in West Virginia and Pennsylvania, while agricultural emissions were concentrated in the Midwest and California’s central valley. “We then tied in census data to understand where different racial-ethnic groups live to understand exposure patterns,” says Hill.

    Tessum then used previous research on the health effects of different exposure levels to estimate how many premature deaths per year (out of an estimated 102,000 from domestic human-caused emissions) could be linked to each emitter.

    “We wanted to take this study further by ascribing responsibility of these premature deaths to different sectors [of the economy], and ultimately to the consumers, and maybe consumers of different racial and ethnic groups,” says Hill.

    To do that, the researchers actually worked backwards, following consumer spending to different sectors of the economy, and then ultimately to the main emitters of air pollution.

    Consider one major contributor to emissions: agriculture. Consumer expenditure surveys from the Bureau of Labor Statistics provide detailed data on how much money households spend in various sectors of the economy, including food.

    These data gave the researchers an idea of how much blacks, Hispanics, and whites spend on food per year. Other expenditures, like energy or entertainment, are also measured. Taken together these data represent the consumption patterns of the three groups.

    To translate dollars spent on food into air pollution levels, the researchers traced money through the economy. Using data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the researchers can estimate, for example, how much grocery stores or restaurants spend on food. Eventually, these dollars are linked back to the primary emitters — the farms growing the food or the fuel that farmers buy to run their tractors.

    The researchers have now completed the causal chain, from dollars spent at the grocery story, to the amount of pollution emitted into the atmosphere. Completing this chain for each source of pollution revealed whose consumption drives air pollution, and who suffers from it.

    After accounting for population size differences, whites experience about 17 percent less air pollution than they produce, through consumption, while blacks and Hispanics bear 56 and 63 percent more air pollution, respectively, than they cause by their consumption, according to the study.

    “These patterns didn’t seem to be driven by different kinds of consumption,” says Tessum, “but different overall levels.” In other words, whites were just consuming disproportionately more of the same kinds of goods and services resulting in air pollution than minority communities.

    “These results, as striking as they are, aren’t really surprising,” says Ana Diez Roux, an epidemiologist at Drexel University who was not involved in the study. “But it’s really interesting to see consumption patterns rigorously documented suggesting that minority communities are exposed to pollution that they bear less responsibility for.”

    Diez Roux thinks this is a good first step. “They certainly make assumptions in their analysis that might be questioned down the line, but I doubt that the overall pattern they found will change,” she says.

    Tessum points to some hopeful results from the study. PM2.5 exposure by all groups has fallen by about 50 percent from 2002 to 2015, driven in part by regulation and population movement away from polluted areas. But the inequity remains mostly unchanged.

    While more research is needed to fully understand these differences, the results of this study raise questions about how to address these inequities.

    Tessum stresses that “we’re not saying that we should take away white people’s money, or that people shouldn’t be able to spend money.” He suggests continuing to strive to make economic activity and consumption less polluting could be a way to manage and lessen the inequities.

    Diez Roux thinks that stronger measures may be necessary.

    “If want to ameliorate this inequity, we may need to rethink how we build our cities and how they grow, our dependence on automobile transportation,” says Diez Roux. “These are hard things we have to consider.”

    Nancy Pelosi: ‘Not worth it’ to impeach Trump – AOL
    Nancy Pelosi: ‘Not worth it’ to impeach Trump – AOL

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that barring “overwhelming” new evidence she would not pursue impeachment against President Trump because it would be too divisive and “he’s just not worth it.”

    “I’m not for impeachment,” said Pelosi in an interview with the Washington Post published Monday. “This is news. I’m going to give you some news right now because I haven’t said this to any press person before. But since you asked, and I’ve been thinking about this: Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country. And he’s just not worth it.”

    Impeachment by the House of Representatives, which Democrats control, can be accomplished by a simple majority. But to remove Trump from office would require a two-thirds majority vote in the Republican-led Senate.

    Pelosi’s comments echo those by House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-NY, in an interview with Politico publisher earlier Monday.

    “You don’t want to divide the country, so you have to think you have such a case that once the case is finished being presented, enough people understand you had to do it,” said Nadler.

    A poll of Iowa Democrats released over the weekend found only 22 percent of respondents saying they cared “a lot” about impeachment, far lower than issues like health care (81 percent), climate change (80 percent) or income inequality (67 percent).

    Other Democrats are more enthusiastic. Freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., made headlines in January for saying of the president “We’re going to impeach this mother***er” at a MoveOn event in Washington, D.C. Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Cal., first introduced articles of impeachment against Trump for obstruction of justice in July 2017.

    Trump broke his promise to fix the debt. He’ll blame Congress in 2020. – NBC News
    Trump broke his promise to fix the debt. He’ll blame Congress in 2020. – NBC News

    WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s budget is the confession of a broken promise.

    As a candidate, Trump famously vowed to eliminate the national debt in eight years.

    But under the spending blueprint he released Monday — which has “promises kept” in its title — the federal government wouldn’t start paying down debt for 15 years. Until then, even under the rosy projections of Trump’s budget-writers, Washington would run annual deficits adding to a red-ink total that already stands at more than $22 trillion.

    Of course, Trump’s initial promise was fantastical. But his tax cuts and defense buildup ushered in a new era of trillion-dollar annual deficits. His own budget projects that next year’s deficit will weigh in at $1.1 trillion.

    That’s despite calling for massive cuts to entitlement programs, headlined by a plan to force recipients of Medicaid, food stamps and federal housing subsidies to work or otherwise engage in their communities.

    There was no way, given the state of the national debt or of his preferred policies, that Trump could begin to entertain the idea that he would be able to campaign in 2020 on having kept the promise that he would eliminate the national debt.

    Instead, what he’s setting up to do with this budget is fight with — and blame — members of Congress as he frames his re-election message. The fiscal failure is their fault because they didn’t follow his lead, his allies say.

    “Congress just hasn’t been willing to play ball,” Russ Vought, the deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget, said Monday at a White House press conference. The deficits in Trump’s early years in office were necessary, Vought said, “to get the economy going,” which was essentially the reasoning for the deficit-financed Obama stimulus plan a decade ago.

    Now, administration officials and Trump allies say, it’s time for Congress to make trade-offs that reflect Trump’s priorities.

    Democrats say he’s asking them to harm the poor and the middle-class to maintain low tax rates for individuals and corporations and to continue building up the Pentagon at the expense of non-defense agencies, which would see a 5 percent cut in discretionary spending.

    “The cruel and shortsighted cuts in President Trump’s budget request are a roadmap to a sicker, weaker America,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a statement. “House Democrats will reject this toxic, destructive budget request which would hollow out our national strength and fail to meet the needs of the American people.”

    Trump “is committed” to cutting deficits and eliminating the debt, said Michael Caputo, who worked on his 2016 campaign. “I think he’s now accustomed to the unfortunate reality of the situation, which is neither side has any interest in proper stewardship of the taxpayers’ money.”

    That means hammering lawmakers on both sides of the aisle for blocking his proposals to eliminate federal programs and even spending requests — like the $8.6 billion he wants for a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico — that would add to the expenditure side of the ledger.

    Already, he’s getting pushback from members of his own party on specific provisions. For example, Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, dashed out a press release vowing to fight Trump’s proposal to slash funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative by 90 percent.

    On a more global level, lawmakers are also sure to refuse his calls to make massive cuts to entitlement programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, where his budget envisions reaping savings from kicking the poor and elderly off social insurance programs if those aid recipients don’t work.

    And Democrats say his request for more wall money — in the midst of a fight with Congress over whether he can shift previously appropriated money around for that purpose — is a non-starter. Moreover, they say he’s pinching the poor and middle class through programmatic cuts for what Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., the vice chairman of the House Budget Committee and a possible 2020 presidential candidate, called “narrow personal political priorities” like tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and the border wall.

    “The president’s budget is a chance to challenge the country to think big,” said Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., the vice chairman of the House Budget Committee and a potential 2020 presidential candidate. “President Trump just delivered a budget that challenges America to look backwards to a 1970s economic vision and a 5th century national security vision with a silly wall.”

    Even if Congress enacted every line of Trump’s budget — and make no mistake, it’s actually headed straight for a waste bin in Pelosi’s Capitol office — he would start next year’s campaign stretch run having added trillions of dollars to the debt he promised to eliminate.

    More than that, he has now shown he has no plan for the budget being balanced in any single year until he’s been out of office for at least a decade.

    He can blame Congress all he wants. But the numbers — even the optimistic figures pumped out by his budget office — don’t lie. Trump didn’t just break his promise to eliminate debt; he reversed it.

    White House won’t say if embattled labor secretary Acosta has Trump’s support – AOL
    White House won’t say if embattled labor secretary Acosta has Trump’s support – AOL

    WASHINGTON, D.C.—Asked twice in her first press briefing in six weeks whether the job of Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta was in jeopardy, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders pointedly declined to endorse the embattled department head.

    Acosta—the only Hispanic member of Trump’s cabinet—has faced sharp criticism for the leniency he showed as a U.S. attorney in Miami to Jeffrey Epstein, an accused sexual predator. Epstein is alleged to have engaged in the sex trafficking of underaged girls, yet the plea deal to which he ultimately agreed—and which Epstein brokered—had him admit guilt only on two minor prostitution charges.

    Though that deal was struck 11 years ago, full details have only recently been brought to public attention. The revelations about Epstein, which come during a time of #MeToo and a broader conversation about disparities in the criminal justice system, have led to calls for Acosta’s resignation.

    Sanders did little to tamp down speculation about Acosta’s future in the Trump administration. Asked by a reporter if Trump had any “misgivings” about Acosta’s role in the Epstein deal, Sanders said only that the matter was “currently under review.” She added that the White House was “certainly looking at it.”

    A short time later, Sanders was asked by another reporter whether Trump had “full confidence” in Acosta or whether the Labor Secretary was “possibly leaving.”

    Sanders passed up the opportunity to reaffirm Trump’s support for Acosta. “I am not aware of any personnel changes,” Sanders said, repeating her previous statement that “those things are currently under review.” She did not say what that review entailed.

    Sanders did not immediately respond to a subsequent request for comment.

    Were Acosta to either depart or face dismissal, he would be one of a legion of department heads and top-level advisers to leave the administration, including press secretary Sean Spicer, chief of staff Reince Priebus, chief of staff John Kelly, deputy chief of staff Joe Hagin, chief strategist Steve Bannon, communications director Mike Dubke, communications director Hope Hicks, communications director Bill Shine, chief counsel Don McGahn, Environmental Protection Agency administrator Scott Pruitt, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, U.S. attorney general Jeff Sessions, national security adviser Mike Flynn, national security adviser H.R. McMaster, secretary of state Rex Tillerson, Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin, Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, FBI director James Comey, and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.

    ‘Wonder Woman’ star Gal Gadot slams Netanyahu for claiming Israel is state of ‘Jewish people alone’ – Fox News

    ‘Wonder Woman’ star Gal Gadot takes on Benjamin Netanyahu with anti-racism post

    ‘Wonder Woman’ actress Gal Gadot didn’t hold back after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is a state for ‘Jewish people only.’ Netanyahu’s comments come in response to a Facebook post by Israeli TV star Rotem Sela where she condemned a remark by Israeli Culture Minister Miri Regev, aimed at the country’s Arab population, ahead of the upcoming election this spring.

    Israeli actress Gal Gadot pulled no punches after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is “not a state for all its citizens” over the weekend.

    The leader took to social media after famed Israeli TV star Rotem Sela criticized Netanyahu’s campaign rhetoric — particularly, his commentary on the country’s Arab population — ahead of the upcoming spring election.

    “When the hell will someone in this government let the Israeli public know that this is a country for all its citizens and that every person is born equal. And also, that the Arabs are human beings,” Sela asked in an Instagram Story on Sunday, taking a jab at a remark Israeli Culture Minister Miri Regev made during a recent TV interview, according to a translation from The Washington Post. Regev reportedly urged citizens to vote for Netanyahu in April to avoid a government with Arab political parties, referring to prime minister candidates Benny Gantz and Yair Lapid’s Blue and White party.

    NETANYAHU: ISRAEL IS THE STATE OF ‘JEWISH PEOPLE ALONE’

    (AP)

    In a Facebook post on Sunday, Netanyahu offered Sela a correction, which apparently inspired the “Wonder Woman” star to speak out.

    “Dear Rotem Sela, I read what you wrote. First of all, an important correction: Israel is not a state for all its citizens. According to a basic law we passed, Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people — and the Jewish people only,” Netanyahu wrote, referring to a Jewish state law passed in July 2018 that defines Israel as “the national home of the Jewish people” as well as declared Jerusalem its official capital, according to The Times of Israel.

    Arabs, who have full citizenship rights, comprise about 20 percent of Israel’s 9 million residents.

    “As you wrote, there is no problem with the Arab citizens of Israel — they have equal rights like all of us and the Likud government has invested more in the Arab sector than any other government,” Netanyahu continued in an Instagram post. “The Likud just want to sharpen the central question in these elections: Should Israel be led by a strong right-wing government headed by myself or by a left-wing government of Yair Lapid and Gantz with the support of the Arab parties? Lapid and Gantz have no other way of forming a government and such a government will undermine the security of the state and the citizens. The decision will be made in another month at the ballot box. Good Day.”

    After reading Netanyahu’s post, Gadot pledged allegiance to Sela.

    “Loving your neighbour as yourself is not a matter of right-left, Jewish-Arab, secular or religious; it is a matter of dialogue, of dialogue for peace, equality and tolerance for each other,” Gadot posted in Hebrew on her Instagram Story, a translation by The Straits Times states.

    Gal Gadot fired back at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday.

    “The responsibility for such hope is on us to create a brighter future for our children. Rotem, my sister, you’re an inspiration for us all,” she added.

    According to The Straits Times, Gantz and Lapid’s Blue and White party is receiving “slightly” more support in the polls compared to Netanyahu’s Likud party.

    The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    Pelosi says impeaching Trump ‘just not worth it’ | TheHill – The Hill

    Speaker Nancy PelosiNancy Patricia D’Alesandro PelosiPelosi, Schumer push back on new Trump demand for wall funding: ‘We hope he learned his lesson’ Five things to watch for in Trump’s 2020 budget Democrats hurting themselves with handling of Ilhan Omar controversy MORE (D-Calif.) made her strongest comments to date on impeachment, saying in a new interview that President TrumpDonald John TrumpButtigieg: ‘I have more years of government experience under my belt’ than Trump Tucker Carlson says he won’t apologize for comments in resurfaced radio interview Buttigieg calls Pence ‘cheerleader for the porn star presidency’ MORE is “just not worth it,” unless there’s bipartisan support for going down that road.

    “Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country,” Pelosi said in a Washington Post interview published Monday. “And he’s just not worth it.”

    Pelosi told the newspaper last week that despite her opposition to impeachment, she does not believe Trump is fit to serve as president.

    “Are we talking ethically? Intellectually? Politically? What are we talking here?” she said. “All of the above. No. No. I don’t think he is.”

    The California Democrat has set a very high bar for impeachment proceedings, even as the more progressive wing of her caucus clamors to remove Trump from office.

    Impeachment has split the caucus since Democrats took control of the House in January, and the topic has gained steam in recent weeks following explosive testimony from Trump’s former lawyer, Michael CohenMichael Dean CohenOversight Dem: ‘I imagine’ chairman will ask for investigation into Cohen for alleged perjury A deal for Trump: Take North Korea’s offer and build upon it The Memo: Team Trump insists Dem probes could ‘boomerang’ MORE.

    In an interview with Showtime’s “The Circus” that aired Sunday, interviewer Alex Wagner remarked to Tlaib that “it doesn’t feel like you think he’s any less of a motherf—er today than two months ago.”

    “That’s right,” Tlaib replied, smiling.

He forced two procedural votes on impeachment during the 115th Congress when Republicans were in the majority, but neither effort was successful.

    Green is scheduled to discuss his next steps on impeachment in an interview with C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal” on Tuesday morning.

    Outside of Congress, liberals agitating for Trump’s impeachment, like billionaire activist Tom Steyer, quickly began pushing back on Pelosi.

    Steyer’s group, Need to Impeach, has aired television ads and held town halls to pressure Democratic lawmakers on impeachment.

    “Speaker Pelosi thinks ‘he’s just not worth it?’ Well, is defending our legal system ‘worth it?’ Is holding the President accountable for his crimes and cover-ups ‘worth it?’ Is doing what’s right ‘worth it?’ Or shall America just stop fighting for our principles and do what’s politically convenient?” Steyer said in a statement on Monday.

    Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill have largely sought to tamp down the issue, arguing that lawmakers should take a wait-and-see approach as special counsel Robert MuellerRobert Swan MuellerSasse: US should applaud choice of Mueller to lead Russia probe MORE and congressional committees conduct their investigations.

    Pelosi has long attempted to downplay talk of impeachment, calling it a “gift” to Republicans. She has maintained a consistent view on the subject since reclaiming the Speaker’s gavel, arguing it would have to be clear-cut and bipartisan.

    “If there’s to be grounds for impeachment of President Trump — and I’m not seeking those grounds — that would have to be so clearly bipartisan in terms of acceptance of it before I think we should go down any impeachment path,” Pelosi told USA Today in an interview published on the first day of the new Congress in early January.

    And in an interview around the same time with NBC’s “Today,” Pelosi stressed that “we have to wait and see what happens with the Mueller report.”

    “We shouldn’t be impeaching for a political reason,” she added.

    Cohen’s hearing late last month before the House Oversight Committee, in which he testified that Trump was directly engaged in bank fraud and involved in a scheme to silence women who alleged they had affairs with Trump more than a decade ago, gave new momentum to impeachment proponents.

    Rep. Carolyn MaloneyCarolyn Bosher MaloneyDems feel growing pressure on impeachment Pelosi brushes off impeachment talk after Cohen testimony Dem rep says Cohen hearing ‘could lead to impeachment’ MORE (D-N.Y.), a member of the Oversight panel, said she felt the hearing “ possibly could lead to impeachment.”

    But Pelosi declined to wade into the debate, calling it a “divisive issue in our country.”

    “I’m not going into that,” she told reporters the day after Cohen’s public testimony.

    Instead, she and other party leaders have fixed their attention on ramping up investigations into Trump.

    The House Intelligence Committee has spoken with Cohen behind closed doors in recent weeks and is scheduled to interview a Russian-American businessman at the end of the month about plans for a Trump Tower in Moscow.

    Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee earlier this month launched a sprawling investigation into the president’s administration, campaign and business, sending document requests to 81 individuals and entities.

    House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold NadlerJerrold (Jerry) Lewis NadlerPresident Trump should not underestimate Jerry Nadler House heads down wrong path to impeachment with investigations Tlaib to join protest calling for Trump impeachment MORE (D-N.Y.), whose committee would oversee any impeachment proceedings, said at the time that the probe is part of congressional oversight responsibilities, adding that Congress remained “far from” impeachment.

    “We are going to be the check and the balance,” Nadler told CNN the same day he issued document requests. “We are going to find out, we are going to lay out the facts for the American people.”

    In a letter to the country’s economics minister, U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard A. Grenell wrote allowing the participation of Huawei or other Chinese equipment vendors in the 5G project would mean the U.S. won’t be able to maintain the same level of cooperation with German security agencies.

    Algeria’s Bouteflika will not seek fifth term, delays elections – Aljazeera.com
    Algeria’s Bouteflika will not seek fifth term, delays elections – Aljazeera.com

    Algeria‘s President Abdelaziz Bouteflika has said he will not seek a fifth term and delayed the country’s presidential polls amid mass protests against his reelection bid. 

    In a message carried by the official APS news agency on Monday, the 82-year-old also said the elections would follow a national conference on political and constitutional reform to be carried out by the end of 2019.

    “There will be no presidential election on April 18,” he said in reference to the scheduled date of the vote, adding that he was responding to a “pressing demand that you have been numerous to make”. 


    The ailing leader, who has been confined to a wheelchair since suffering a stroke in 2013, said a government reshuffle would also take place soon.

    “Even if this is a beautiful victory for the Algerian people and the gesture was there, I do not believe that the entire regime and its system is going to collapse,” Dalia Ghanem Yazbeck, a resident scholar at the Carnegie Middle East Center, told Al Jazeera.

    “This is a regime that is composed of different strata and circles of power. You have the [ruling party] FLN apparatchik, you have the bureaucracy, political and military leadership and you have business tycoons,” she added.

    According to APS, Prime Minister Ahmed Ouyahia resigned on Monday and was replaced by Interior Minister Noureddine Bedoui. Ramtane Lamamra was named deputy prime minister, a position that did not exist before.

    The dramatic developments followed weeks of mass demonstrations against Bouteflika’s plan to extend his 20-year rule.

    ‘All eyes on the army’

    Amel Boubekeur, a research fellow at the Paris-based School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences, said Monday’s announcement was only the beginning. 


    “All eyes are on the army now. Is the army going to let new protests to happen next Friday?” Boubekeur told Al Jazeera.

    “With Bouteflika aside, the army is going to have its say as to what kind of position they will accept.

    “Now it seems the regime of Bouteflika is done, but [the question is] are we going to get back the state civilly without … any pressure on all these people who have been using the state for their interest for so long?”

    ‘Bouteflika’s system is over’ 

    A veteran of the country’s war of independence against colonial France, Bouteflika has seen his popularity wane in recent years as a result of his deteriorating health. 

    Massive protests began on February 22 to denounce Bouteflika’s plans to extend his rule in the upcoming polls.

    On March 3, after his campaign manager officially registered Bouteflika’s candidacy, the president tried to appease protesters by offering to hold a national dialogue conference, changethe constitution and hold a vote within a year of his reelection in which he promised not to take part. 

    The promises, however, failed to quell public anger, galvanising discontent among different sectors, particularly students and other young people.

    Some long-time allies of Bouteflika, including members of the FLN party, expressed support for the protesters, revealing cracks within a ruling elite long seen as invincible.


    In the clearest indication yet that the generals sympathise with protesters, the chief of staff said on Sunday that the military and the people had a united vision of the future, state TV reported. Lieutenant General Gaid Salah did not mention the unrest.

    “Bouteflika’s system is over,” said a commentator on Ennahar, which is close to the president’s inner circle.

    In response to Monday’s announcement, Soufiane Djilali, leader of the opposition Jil Jadid party, said Bouteflika could not stay in power until late 2019. 

    “The first round has been won. The mobilisation on the streets must not stop. There can be no question of the current presidency continuing until the end of 2019! Zero confidence,” Djilali wrote on Twitter.

    Some Boeing 737s Are Being Grounded. Here’s What That Means. – The New York Times

    As the investigation continues into the fatal crash of a 737 Max 8 in Ethiopia on Sunday, regulators in China and Indonesia are grounding the planes, and some airlines in other countries are voluntarily pulling their fleets from service.

    In the United States, the Federal Aviation Administration, which certified the latest version of Boeing’s best-selling jet as airworthy in 2017, has not taken that step despite mounting questions about the plane’s safety record.

    Robert W. Mann, an airline industry consultant in Port Washington, N.Y., described what a grounding entails and the factors regulators consider when making the decision to order one. His responses have been condensed and edited for clarity.

    A grounding occurs when the relevant safety regulator (the F.A.A. in the United States, or the European Aviation Safety Agency in Europe) removes the airworthiness certificate for a certain kind of plane. Effectively that makes those airplanes unusable in that jurisdiction, and also in other jurisdictions that have accepted a particular regulator’s authority.

    Trump 2020 budget proposal seeks $2.7T in spending cuts, $8.6B for new border wall

    The White House hopes to engage Democrats in their top budget priorities in an effort to finding common ground; Kevin Corke breaks down the proposal.

    President Trump kicked off a new battle with Congress on Monday by releasing his fiscal 2020 budget plan seeking billions more in funding for a border wall and controversial work requirements for Americans collecting a variety of welfare benefits.

    Both proposals are sure to face resistance from Democrats, especially coming off a partial shutdown triggered by a border wall dispute that only ended when Trump declared a national emergency over immigration — a step being litigated in the courts and challenged in Congress. The requests are part of the president’s $4.7 trillion budget plan.

    Escalating Trump’s pursuit of wall funding, the White House in the new budget requested an additional $8.6 billion to build the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border—seeking $5 billion from Congress, plus $3.6 billion from the military construction budget, for fiscal 2020.

    TRUMP TO REQUEST $8.6 BILLION IN WALL FUNDING IN ‘TOUGH’ BUDGET REQUEST, SETTING UP CONGRESSIONAL SHOWDOWN

    Meanwhile, the budget aims to implement new welfare requirements — namely, that Americans 18-65 years old work at least 20 hours a week in a job, a job training program or a community service program to secure a range of benefits and aid.

    According to the administration, the work requirement would apply to federal programs like food stamps, Medicaid, and federal housing, but would come with a hardship exemption. Last year, the administration opened the door for states to impose work requirements for Medicaid recipients. This part of the budget proposal would bring those work requirements to the federal level.

    The proposal would represent an expansion of work requirements, though some already are in place. For the past several administrations, able-bodied recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps) have mostly had to work at least 80 hours a month — while recipients of traditional welfare known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) have also faced work requirements.

    The budget, meanwhile, projects a $1.1 trillion deficit for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, but also calls for deep cuts to domestic programs.

    “In the last two years, President Trump and his Administration have prioritized reining in reckless Washington spending. The Budget that we have presented to Congress and the American people…embodies fiscal responsibility and takes aim at Washington’s waste, fraud, and abuse,” Office of Management and Budget Acting Director Russ Vought said in a statement.

    “Our national debt nearly doubled under the previous Administration and now stands at more than $22 trillion,” he continued. “This Budget shows that we can return to fiscal sanity without halting our economic resurgence while continuing to invest in critical priorities.”

    The budget also includes a national paid family leave proposal and seeks money to establish the Space Force as a new branch of the military, while sharply curbing spending on domestic safety-net programs. The outline includes a total of $2.7 trillion in nondefense spending cuts and the administration says the proposal would put the federal government on track to balance the budget by 2034.

    The White House’s request for billions of dollars in additional funding for a wall comes as senior Homeland Security officials told Fox News that the administration is preparing for an estimated 180,000 migrants traveling as families to cross the border—either illegally, or claiming asylum—marking a record in family units crossing.

    “We want to strengthen legal immigration and welcome more individuals through a merit-based system that enhances our economic vitality and vibrancy of our diverse nation. We also will continue to uphold our humanitarian ideals,” Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said last week during a House hearing. “But illegal immigration is simply spiraling out of control and threatening public safety and national security.”

    NIELSEN DECLARES MIGRATION CRISIS ‘SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL,’ WARNS IT WILL GET ‘EVEN WORSE’

    The $8.6 billion would allow the administration to complete more than the promised 722 miles of wall along the border, according to White House officials. The funding comes on top of the billions Trump is working to shift from military accounts after declaring a national emergency last month. The emergency declaration came after Congress blocked Trump’s original request for $5.7 billion for construction of the wall. That denial sparked the longest partial shutdown of the federal government in U.S. history.

    Democrats, though, continue to argue that an emergency at the border is “non-existent,” and promised to block the proposal to build the wall again.

    “President Trump hurt millions of Americans and caused widespread chaos when he recklessly shut down the government to try to get his expensive and ineffective wall, which he promised would be paid for by Mexico,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a statement.

    “Congress refused to fund his wall and he was forced to admit defeat and reopen the government. The same thing will repeat itself if he tries this again. We hope he learned his lesson,” they said, adding that the funding would be better put to use toward domestic programs like “education and workforce development.”

    The administration is expecting pushback on this “tough” budget, according to White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow.

    “I would just say that the whole issue of the wall, of border security, is of paramount importance,” Kudlow said on “Fox News Sunday. “We have a crisis down there. I think the president has made that case very effectively.”

    Trump also proposed $750 billion for defense, representing a 5 percent increase, while cutting non-defense discretionary spending by 5 percent below the cap. The budget will also increase requests for some agencies, while reducing others to reflect those priorities. For example, the 2020 budget seeks to reduce funding for the Environmental Protection Agency.

    Budgets are mainly seen as blueprints for the White House’s priorities and agenda but are often debated and negotiated on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers craft the appropriation bills that eventually fund the government.

    And while the budget will suggest it balances in future years, it is also expected to rely on projections for continued economic growth from the tax cuts Trump signed into law in 2017. But there’s no guarantee that would cover the lost tax revenues.

    By proposing spending levels that don’t raise the budget caps, the president is courting a debate with Congress. Lawmakers from both parties have routinely agreed to raise spending caps established by a previous deal years ago to fund the government.

      Brexit: May heads to Strasbourg for last-ditch talks with EU – BBC News
      Brexit: May heads to Strasbourg for last-ditch talks with EU – BBC News
      Media captionBig Brexit moment: Will MPs back or bin the PM’s deal?

      Theresa May is heading to Strasbourg for last-ditch talks with senior EU officials aimed at winning MPs’ backing for her Brexit deal.

      She will meet European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker on the eve of the second vote on her deal.

      The BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg said the trip did not guarantee there is a new deal to be signed by both sides.

      But she said sources told her they believe direct talks are the right way to progress at this critical moment.

      Former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith, a leading Brexiteer, said he believed the two sides were “reaching the point where they are about to have some kind of agreement”.

      The EU has said it is now up to MPs to decide the next steps for Brexit and it remains “committed” to agreeing a deal.

      But earlier in the Commons, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said there had “not been a single change” to the agreement since it was heavily defeated by MPs in January and it was still a “bad deal”.

      Following speculation the vote could be postponed or downgraded, No 10 said the motion to be debated would be published later on Monday – although it gave no details of what it could contain.

      Downing Street said the PM’s focus was “getting on with the work required to allow MPs to support the deal and to bring this stage of the process to an end”.

      The UK is due to leave the EU on 29 March but MPs rejected the withdrawal deal on offer in January and demanded major changes.

      Media captionJeremy Corbyn, on Brexit negotiations: “This is a government in chaos”

      What is the EU saying?

      BBC Brussels reporter Adam Fleming said the mood was “bleak” in Brussels after the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, briefed EU ambassadors on the state of play earlier.

      Adam Fleming said the member states were told that the UK had rejected the EU’s proposed solutions on the backstop because “they wouldn’t get the support of the Cabinet”.

      “There is a widely held view that the UK has not been negotiating in good faith over the last few days,” he said, adding that at least one diplomat had mentioned planning for a “post-Theresa May government”.

      President of the European Parliament, Antonio Tajani, confirmed he would also be meeting Mrs May on Monday evening, tweeting that a no-deal Brexit “must be avoided to protect our citizens and safeguard overall stability”.

      The government has been seeking changes to the Irish backstop, the safety net designed to maintain an open border on the island of Ireland, and only to be used as a last resort.

      But the details of it were a sticking point for many MPs when they voted her deal down in January. They worry that – in its current form – the backstop may leave the UK tied to the EU indefinitely.

      In a statement, the Commission said it had put forward proposals to try to reassure MPs the backstop “if used will apply temporarily”.

      A spokesman said the EU was willing to meet UK negotiators at any time and was “committed to ratifying this deal before 29 March”.

      Media captionIs the UK actually in a crisis over leaving the EU?

      How have MPs reacted?

      Brexit minister Robin Walker has been updating MPs in response to an urgent question from Labour.

      He said the government “absolutely stood by” its commitment to hold Tuesday’s vote and, if the PM’s deal was defeated, subsequent votes by Thursday at the latest on a no-deal exit and extending talks.

      Details of Tuesday’s “meaningful vote” motion will be published by the end of Commons business, expected to be about 22.00 GMT, while Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay will be making a statement before that.

      Labour MP Pat McFadden said any vote had to be on the Brexit deal, as currently constituted, and not a version of the deal ministers might hope to end up with after further talks with the EU.

      And Tory Brexiteer Peter Bone urged the government to delay the vote until MPs had had enough time to scrutinise any changes to the deal.

      What could happen this week?

      • Theresa May’s deal to face a “meaningful vote” in Parliament on Tuesday
      • If it’s rejected, a further vote has been promised for Wednesday on whether the UK should leave without a deal
      • If that no-deal option is rejected, MPs could get a vote on Thursday on whether to request a delay to Brexit from the EU.

      Authorities make largest cocaine seizure at N.Y.-area port in 25 years – NBC News

      Authorities have seized the biggest shipment of cocaine recovered at the ports of New York and New Jersey in almost 25 years.

      The massive bust Feb. 28 at the Port of New York/Newark in Elizabeth came after authorities checked a shipping container entering the country. They found 60 packages containing 3,200 pounds of a white powdery substance that proved to be cocaine, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement Monday.

      An examination of a shipping container entering the United States revealed sixty packages containing a white powdery substance that field-tested positive for cocaine.DHS NY

      The seizure, which has an estimated street value of $77 million, is the biggest cocaine bust at the ports since 1994 when about 6,600 pounds were seized, according to a CBP spokesman.

      The container was recovered from a ship that originated in South America, the spokesman said.

      Customs officers turned the drugs over to federal Homeland Security officials for investigation.

      Here’s what to expect from the Mueller probe this week – CNBC
      Here’s what to expect from the Mueller probe this week – CNBC

      Politics

      New developments due this week in a handful of criminal cases connected to special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe could help sketch a more detailed picture of the high-profile, yet highly secretive, investigation.

      President Donald Trump‘s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, could receive more than a decade in cumulative prison time after his second and final sentencing hearing. Another Trump campaign leader, Manafort’s former longtime aide Rick Gates, will reveal whether he is still providing information to the probe. And Trump’s first national security advisor, Michael Flynn, will give a status update to the judge who had previously accused him of arguably selling out his own country.

      Two deadlines are also set this week for Republican political operative Roger Stone, among the most recent of Trump’s associates to be hit with charges in Mueller’s probe of Russian meddling, and possible Trump campaign collusion, during the 2016 election. Before new details about his upcoming trial can be hashed out, Stone’s attorneys will have to explain how the rerelease of his book, “The Myth of Russian Collusion,” squares with his strict gag order in the case.

      Mueller’s busy week arrives amid persistent speculation that the investigation may be nearing its conclusion. Lawmakers of both parties on Capitol Hill have called for the summary findings of the investigation to be made public without redactions.

      Since the start of the investigation, Trump has denied any wrongdoing and has decried the probe as a “witch hunt.”

      Here’s what’s coming up this week:

      Paul Manafort

      Manafort, 69, was already sentenced last week to less than four years in prison in a case brought by Mueller’s prosecutors in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia. But he will be sentenced by another judge Wednesday in Washington, D.C., district court.

      Some legal experts predict that that judge, Amy Berman Jackson, will be more likely to give Manafort a harsher sentence than the judge in the Virginia case, T.S. Ellis, who had previously expressed his displeasure with the special counsel’s legal tactics.

      So-called statutory maximum rules set a 10-year cap on the prison sentence Jackson can impose in Manafort’s case. Mueller’s prosecutors, who suffered a bruising defeat after failing to secure a lengthy prison term for Manafort in Virginia, may argue in D.C. that Manafort’s two sentences should be served consecutively, rather than simultaneously.

      Many legal experts were shocked by Manafort’s relatively light first prison sentence of 47 months — a length of time significantly below the 19-to-24 years suggested by federal guidelines. Manafort was convicted on eight criminal counts including bank fraud and tax fraud, which mostly related to work he had done for a pro-Russia political party years before he joined Trump’s campaign.

      Ellis had previously accused Mueller of levying the finance charges against Manafort in order to pressure him into cooperating with the Russian interference probe. The judge had also taken a hostile tone toward Mueller’s team before and during the trial.

      Jackson, in contrast, had ordered Manafort jailed pending trial after Mueller accused him of tampering with potential witnesses. Manafort has been detained in an Alexandria jail since June.

      “I don’t believe Judge Berman Jackson will make any of the statements Judge Ellis did regarding the special counsel’s motivations,” former federal prosecutor Anthony Capozzolo told CNBC. “I thought Judge Ellis’ comments were perplexing and confounding.”

      Richard Gates

      Gates, who testified against his former business partner Manafort at trial last summer and has cooperated extensively with the special counsel, will file a joint status report with Mueller on Friday.

      Gates, 46, has had his sentencing on charges of lying to investigators and conspiracy delayed multiple times since he pleaded guilty in early 2018.

      In January, Mueller told the judge that Gates “continues to cooperate with respect to several ongoing investigations, and accordingly the parties do not believe it is appropriate to commence the sentencing process at this time.”

      Michael Flynn

      Prosecutors and Flynn’s attorneys are set to update Judge Emmet Sullivan in a status report Wednesday, where they might decide on whether Flynn is set to be sentenced.

      Flynn’s initial sentencing date in December was pushed off during a dramatic hearing in D.C. federal court, where Sullivan blasted the 60-year-old retired lieutenant general for his crime of lying to investigators about his communications with then-Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak before Trump took office.

      “Arguably, you sold your country out,” Sullivan said at the hearing. The judge had suggested that Flynn could get a lighter sentence if the decision was delayed until after he finished cooperating with Mueller.

      “The court likes to be in a position to say there is nothing else this defendant can to do help the United States of America,” Sullivan said.

      The status of Gates’ and Flynn’s cases could provide one of the strongest indications yet about how near the Russia probe is to completion.

      If their sentencing hearings continue to be adjourned, or if the special counsel says that they are still providing information about ongoing investigations, then “It’s likely that Mueller’s investigation will be continuing for some time,” Capozzolo said.

      Roger Stone

      Lawyers for Stone, 66, were ordered by Jackson in D.C. to explain by Monday Stone’s efforts to comply with his gag order, as well as shed light on “unexplained inconsistencies” regarding some statements made to the court.

      The gag order on Stone, a self-described political dirty trickster, had been strengthened after he posted an image on Instagram showing Jackson’s face next to the cross hair of a rifle’s scope.

      Following that action, Jackson learned that Stone was rereleasing his book, “The Myth of Russian Collusion,” which criticizes Mueller.

      Jackson also asked the defense attorneys to provide a list of other information, including records related to Stone’s book deal.

      If Jackson decides that Stone has disobeyed her gag order, she could revoke his $250,000 signature release bond and order him held without bail until his trial on charges of lying to Congress and witness tampering.

      That all precedes a status conference on Thursday morning, where the parties in the case are expected to hash out details related to Stone’s trial, which is yet to be scheduled.

      “I think Stone’s been playing with fire for a while,” said Carl Tobias, a law professor and federal courts expert at the University of Richmond.

      Jackson “has plenty of discretion to do whatever she thinks is necessary” to keep the trial from being tainted, Tobias said — which could theoretically involve revoking Stone’s bail and sending him to jail pending trial.

      But that “does seem fairly drastic,” Tobias added.

      The Body Of A 9-Year-Old Girl Was Found In A Duffel Bag In California – BuzzFeed News
      The Body Of A 9-Year-Old Girl Was Found In A Duffel Bag In California – BuzzFeed News

      California authorities have identified the young girl whose body was found in a duffel bag along an equestrian trail last week.

      The girl has been identified as 9-year-old Trinity Love Jones of Los Angeles County, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said Sunday.

      The medical examiner’s office determined that Trinity’s death was a homicide, but the cause of death is being withheld, the sheriff’s department said in a statement.

      Authorities have detained two persons of interest in the case, but did not identify them.

      Trinity’s body was dumped near an equestrian trail in Hacienda Heights sometime on the evening of March 3. It was discovered on the morning of March 5 by Los Angeles County maintenance workers, the LASD said last week.

      The child’s body was found partially inside a black rollaway-type duffel bag, and her upper body was seen protruding from the bag. No obvious signs of trauma were found on her body, the sheriff’s department said last week.

      The LASD had released a composite sketch of Trinity, urging the public to identify the little girl.

      Trinity was wearing gray panda print pants and a pink shirt which read “Future Princess Hero.”

      ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia – The Latest on Ethiopian Airlines crash (all times local):

      5 p.m.

      A Greek man who narrowly missed the Ethiopian Airlines flight that crashed near Addis Ababa on Sunday says he argued with ground staff to try and board after reaching the gate minutes too late.

      “I saw the last passengers going through but the gate had already closed. I complained, in the usual way when that kind of thing happens. But they were very kind and placed me on another flight,” Antonis Mavropoulos told Greece’s private Skai Television, speaking from Nairobi.

      Mavropoulos, who runs a recycling company and lives in Athens, was traveling to Kenya to attend an environmental conference.

      “I’m slowly coming to terms with what happened and how close it came. On the other hand, I’m also very upset — I’m shattered — for those who were lost,” he said in the interview Monday. “To be honest, I didn’t get much sleep last night.”

      Mavropoulos put his survival down to luck.

      “I didn’t check my suitcase because I knew the gap between connecting flights was tight. If I had checked the bag in, they would have waited for me,” he said. “This is a very difficult moment — one that can change your life.”

      The U.N. resident coordinator in Nairobi, Siddharth Chatterjee, says that “This has taken us by shock. … But it also goes to reinforce the mortality of human life and therefore reinforces the need for humanity.”

      He says U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres sent “a poignant message of condolences to everybody, not just the U.N. staff but the crew of the flight and all other nationalities which were on the plane.”

      People from 35 countries died.

      A spokesman says Ethiopian Airlines has grounded all its Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft as a safety precaution, following the crash of one of its planes in which 157 people were killed.

      Asrat Begashaw said Monday that although it is not yet known what caused the crash on Sunday, the airline decided to ground its remaining four 737 Max 8 planes until further notice as “an extra safety precaution.” Ethiopian Airlines was using five new 737 Max 8 planes and was awaiting delivery of 25 more.

      Begashaw said searching and digging to uncover body parts and aircraft debris will continue. He said forensic experts from Israel have arrived in Ethiopia to help with the investigation.

      The aircraft climbed slowly after its wheels left the ground, then descended about 400 feet, climbed again and then plunged into a rural area. It carved a large crater near the city of Bishoftu, southeast of the capital, according to data supplied by Flightradar24, a Swedish company that tracks flights around the world. The accident killed eight Americans, 18 Canadians, 32 Kenyans and nine Ethiopians.
