Body of woman found near Lake Michigan identified as activist Elise Malary – WGN TV Chicago

EVANSTON, Ill. — The body of a woman found on the shores of Lake Michigan in Evanston on Thursday has been identified as missing transgender rights activist Elise Malary, police confirmed.

Malary’s body was found on the shores of Lake Michigan in the 500 block of Sheridan Square at Garden Park, just blocks from her apartment. She was 31 years old.

Malary had not been seen since March 9 and was reported missing on March 15.

She was known as a prominent activist in the LGBTQ community in the area and had quit her job at the Civil Rights Bureau of the Illinois Attorney General’s office the day before she went missing.

    Prices, weak demand drive down agribusiness exports – Brazil-Arab News Agency (ANBA)
    Prices, weak demand drive down agribusiness exports – Brazil-Arab News Agency (ANBA)

    São Paulo – Brazilian agribusiness exports declined in September and year-to-date in 2014. According to figures released last Wednesday (8th) by the Ministry of Agriculture, US$ 8.29 billion worth of agribusiness products were shipped abroad in September, down 7.4% from September last year. Year-to-date through September, sales amounted to US$ 75.9 billion, down 2.7% from the comparable period in 2013.

    Press Release/Embrapa

    Maize plantation: no crop failure in sight

    The Rural Economy professor at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), Eugênio Stefanello, told ANBA that the main reasons for the lower export revenues and the trend of declining volumes are weak international demand and falling prices for the main commodities. Although the United States economy is recovering from the crisis, other countries which are major importers of Brazilian agribusiness products are growing at lower rates. Cases in point include the European Union, China and Japan.

    “Commodities prices will be lower this year than in 2013 and will tend to remain flat in 2015, because a mild global recovery is expected. Prices may stay level or be lower, and as a consequence, we may see a scenario where exports will increase in volume decrease in value,” the economist said.

    According to Chicago Stock Exchange figures cited by the economist, a bushel of maize (equivalent to 25.4 kilograms) sold for US$ 6.90 in 2012, US$ 5.63 in 2013, US$ 4.67 in the first half of this year and from US$ 3.20 to US$ 4.50 in September. The price of a bushel of soy (equivalent to 27.2 kilograms) dropped from US$ 14.63 in 2012 to US$ 14.14 in the first half of this year, and between US$ 11,00 and US$ 9.50 in September. According to Stefanello, crop failures are not expected in any the major commodities. He said the reason prices are dropping is precisely the fact that supply is rebounding.

    Middle East

    The Middle East countries are also buying less this year than they did in 2013. According to Agriculture Ministry figures, exports to the Middle East fetched US$ 5.2 billion from January to September 2014, down 12.2% from the comparable period in 2013. Regarding Brazil’s leading Arab destinations, sales are down 15.7% to Saudi Arabia and 8.6% to the United Arab Emirates. In turn, Egypt’s purchases from Brazil were up 5.9%.

    To Stefanello, these countries are buying less because ongoing conflicts are forcing them to incur more unplanned expenses. He also remarked that the Russian embargo on products from the United States, European Union, Australia and Canada has caused these suppliers to seek new markets to sell to, including the Middle East, thus increasing competition for Brazilian products. Russia has banned foodstuffs imports from these countries in response to the embargos they have imposed on it due to the conflict underway in Ukraine.

    Another cause for the decline in Brazilian exports to Saudi Arabia was the latter’s embargo on Brazilian beef. Saudi Arabia stopped buying the product following Brazil’s announcement, in late 2012, that a cow in the state of Paraná that borne the mad cow disease causative agent had died in 2010, even though it did not manifest the condition. The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) has upheld Brazil’s risk status for the disease as insignificant. The Ministry of Agriculture is in talks with Saudi authorities to end the embargo.

    IMF sees growth in Arab economies – Brazil-Arab News Agency (ANBA)
    IMF sees growth in Arab economies – Brazil-Arab News Agency (ANBA)

    São Paulo – Middle Eastern and North African countries’ economies will grow this year and in 2015, but they will have long-term challenges. According to the most recent data in the report “Regional Economic Outlook”, disclosed this Tuesday (6th) by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the Arab nations, plus Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, should grow 3.2% this year and 4.4% in 2015. Among the oil exporting countries, the forecast increase is 3.4% and 4.6%, respectively. The forecast for oil importing countries, however, is 2.8% this year and 4.1% in the next.

    Algeria, Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Yemen are among the countries the IMF considers oil exporters. Afghanistan, Djibouti, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Mauritania, Morocco, Pakistan, Sudan, Syria and Tunisia are considered oil importers. From these groups, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran are not Arab countries.

    In the Fund’s evaluation, the GDP of the Middle Eastern and North African countries will grow this year due to the global economy recovery. Both oil exporters and importers, however, will need to promote reforms in their economies to ensure long-term growth.

    “Oil and gas output is expected to remain broadly stable in 2014. GCC production will rise owing to strengthening global demand, challenges in restoring oil production in the non-GCC countries (particularly Libya), and a decline in global oil inventories caused in part by cold weather in North America ”, says the release from the Fund.

    The evaluation for oil importing countries, however, is that the economy grew roughly 3% last year, will expand a little below these 3% this year and increase to 4% in 2015, not enough for the demand of these countries. “Hovering at 3 percent last year, it has not yet caught up to the historical average, which is close to 5 percent. Even if it did, growth would be insufficient to reduce persistently high unemployment and improve living standards in the region ”, says the document.

    Challenges

    The document from the IMF warns that Middle East and North Africa countries will have long term challenges and claims that the oil exporters can no longer depend exclusively of the production of the commodity to survive. It reckons that the non-oil sector has been boosting the growth, but it warns that the recovery of the production in other countries, the higher energetic efficiency and the supplying of other forms of energy in North America may influence the production and the price of the commodity.

    “Futures markets suggest the price of crude could decline by about $6 per barrel between 2013 and 2015 ”, says the document.

    The IMF also observes that the capacity of oil exporters to resist crises is lower than in previous reports due to the increase in public sector salaries, oil price reduction and smaller fiscal surplus. Besides, some of these oil producing countries have been offering generous energetic subsidies, which boost consumption at the expense of exports.

    As regards the oil importing nations, the main challenges are to solve political problems, undertake structural reforms to create jobs and export. The document observes that Jordan, Morocco, Egypt, Yemen and Tunisia are nation in political “transition”. For this group, the growth forecast is 2.8% in 2014 and 4.3% in 2015.

    The growth forecast for each country in 2014 and 2015 is as follows: Algeria, 4.3% and 4.1%, respectively; Bahrain, 4.7% and 3.3%; Iraq, 5.9% and 6.7%; Kuwait, 2.6% and 3.0%; Libya, -7.8% and 29.8%; Oman, 3.4% and 3.4%; Qatar, 5.9% and 7.1%; Saudi Arabia, 4.1% and 4.2%, United Arab Emirates, 4.4% and 4.2%; Yemen, 5.1% and 4.4%; Djibouti, 6% and 6.5%; Egypt, 2.3% and 4.1%; Lebanon, 1% and 2.5%; Mauritania, 6.8% and 6.5%; Morocco, 3.9% and 4.9%; Sudan, 2.7% and 4.6%; Tunisia, 3% and 3.5%; West Bank and Gaza, 2.5% and 2.7%. The IMF did not make predictions for Syria due to political uncertainty.

    Trump administration proposal could cause millions to lose food stamps – NBC News
    Trump administration proposal could cause millions to lose food stamps – NBC News

    Three proposed rule changes by the Trump administration could cause millions of poor people to lose access to food stamps and decrease the size of the benefit for millions more.

    Over the past year, the Department of Agriculture proposed three changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP or food stamps. The new rules create stricter work requirements for program eligibility, cap deductions for utility allowances and “reform” the way 40 states automatically enroll families into SNAP when they receive other forms of federal aid.

    A study by the Urban Institute released this week examined the three rules in combination for the first time and found that 3.7 million fewer people would receive SNAP in an average month, 2.2 million households would see their average monthly benefits drop by $127, more than 3 million others would see an average drop of $37 per month, and 982,000 students would lose access to free or reduced lunches.

    “What we found is that overall the three proposed changes would reduce the number of households participating in SNAP by about 11 percent if this was implemented in 2018,” said Laura Wheaton, a senior fellow at the Urban Institute who conducted the study. “It’s about a 9.4 percent reduction in the number of people participating and about an 8 percent reduction in overall benefits.”

    Critics and experts say that would be antithetical to the program’s goals to address food insecurity in the United States.

    Craig Gundersen, an agricultural and consumer economics professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign who has studied the program for more than two decades, said that about a million people could become food insecure because of the change. He added that 50 percent of those 3.7 million SNAP beneficiaries were already food insecure despite the assistance.

    The changes, he said, would put many Americans in a worse position, increasing hunger and health issues. Each additional adult who becomes food insecure sees an additional $2,000 in healthcare costs, Gundersen explained.

    “The essential goal of the program is to mitigate hunger and its consequences in the United States,” he said. “Anything that impedes SNAP of doing that is very problematic as it leads to food insecurity in our country.”

    The USDA, meanwhile, estimates that the changes would reduce the SNAP budget by about $4.2 billion.

    Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue defended the work requirements in a USA Today column, emphasizing that it would save taxpayer dollars.

    “At USDA, our informal motto is ‘Do Right and Feed Everyone,’” Perdue wrote. “With these proposed improvements, we will ‘do right’ by the taxpayers and restore the dignity of work to the able-bodied who receive SNAP benefits. And, we will ‘feed everyone’ by ensuring the health and stability of SNAP for those who truly need it.”

    All of the new rules have gone through a comment period with the changes to utilities currently taking feedback until Monday. Tens of thousands of people have already responded, with most providing negative responses.

    The latest rule change proposed by the Trump administration would cause millions of people to take smaller deductions for shelter and utility costs, which are considered when a person applies for SNAP benefits. Critics say that would force people to choose between buying food and paying for housing.

    Gundersen said this change will prove to be a major cost for those living in metropolitan areas with high living costs.

    It could also create a steeper financial cliff for some beneficiaries. Those in danger of losing access to SNAP might be discouraged from working because the new calculation would put them in a higher income bracket, causing them to lose access, Gundersen explained

    “On the one hand they want to encourage people to work, but on the other they would be taking away that incentive,” Gundersen said.

    But the main issue is that SNAP is not intended to be a work program in the first place, Gundersen said, but instead aimed to address food insecurity within the United States.

    As it operates now, SNAP does not discourage people from participating in the labor market, he said.

    “There are some assistance programs that do discourage people to work, but this is not one of them,” Gundersen said, adding that what lawmakers should be asking is: “What makes this program work so well and why does it work well as compared to other programs?”

    These new rules also have advocates in states like Nevada worried. Nevada could see up to 22 percent of recipients lose access to food stamps, which could be devastating in a place where 12.3 percent of households face food insecurity, according to the USDA.

    Related

    “SNAP is related to hunger and getting people the nutrition they need,” said Jocelyn Lantrip, the communications director at Food Bank of Northern Nevada. “Food shouldn’t be a luxury.”

    With a tech boom raising income levels but not enough to cover rising housing costs, Lantrip said that these changes could create further food insecurity issues, which remain close to the levels that the Food Bank of Northern Nevada saw during the recession.

    At the height of the recession, Lantrip said her food bank helped 103,000 people per month. Now, during a period of perceived economic stability, she said they are helping 91,000.

    Food banks like hers wouldn’t be able to accommodate for the needs of an additional 196,000 people, which is the number in Nevada who would likely need help accessing food if these rules were to go into effect, Lantrip said.

    “That’s really hard for food banks to keep up with if you have that kind of decline in benefits,” she said. “We support people if they fall outside of the safety net, but we can’t replace the safety net as a food bank. We’re spinning our wheels already, because when unemployment is low people assume hunger is low, but we’re just helping more working poor than before.”

    Sen. Tim Scott calls reconciliation bill ‘great American shakedown’

    Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., spoke with Fox News’ Neil Cavuto.

    Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., called Democrats’ reconciliation bill a “great American shakedown.”

    President Biden on Friday announced a scaled back $1.75 trillion social spending and climate change package that still failed to win over the support of moderate Sens. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., and Joe Manchin, D-W.V., stalling further negotiations until next week.

    “We’re back to the days where you have to pass the legislation to know what’s in [the bill],” Scott argued during an interview with Fox News’ Neil Cavuto Thursday. “That’s bad news for every single American, and it feels like the great American shakedown.”

    The senator added that the “lack of confidence and transparency in this process” of passing the bills should concern “every American.”

    “I do think there’s a loss of trust between the Biden administration and the bipartisan coalition that supported the infrastructure package,” Scott explained, noting that Democrats have gone back and forth about voting on the two bills together or separately.

    BIDEN TAKES NO QUESTIONS ON RECONCILIATION SPEECH JUST BEFORE JETTING OFF ON EUROPEAN TRIPS: ‘I’LL SEE YOU IN ROME

    House Democrats are working on a plan to vote on both Biden’s $1.75 trillion social spending plan and his $1.2 trillion infrastructure package on Tuesday because many progressive Democrats do not have faith that their more moderate colleagues like Sinema and Manchin will pass the reconciliation plan before passing the infrastructure bill, a source told Fox News’ Chad Pergram on Saturday.

    BIDEN RECONCILIATION FRAMEWORK COSTS $1.75T, INCLUDES $1.995 TRILLION IN TAX HIKES, WHITE HOUSE SAYS

    Democrats initially planned that the reconciliation package would contain $3.5 trillion worth of spending and tax initiatives over 10 years. But demands by moderates led by Manchin and Sinema to contain costs mean its final price tag could well be less than $2 trillion.

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was forced to abandon plans to pass the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan that has become tangled in the deliberations.

    Progressives have been refusing to vote for that public works package of roads, bridges and broadband, withholding their support as leverage for assurances that Manchin and Sinema are on board with Biden’s big bill.

    Satellite Internet Terminals, Sent by Elon Musk, Arrive in Ukraine – The New York Times

    Ukraine’s vice prime minister said on Monday that internet terminals sent by Elon Musk, which were designed to work with satellites orbiting in space to provide online access, had arrived in the country.

    One of Mr. Musk’s companies, SpaceX, has deployed thousands of satellites into low-Earth orbit over the past three years as part of its business to beam high-speed internet service from more than 100 miles above the planet.

    Satellite internet services like Mr. Musk’s, which is known as Starlink, can be useful in parts of the world where people cannot easily access conventional internet providers, whether because of technical limitations, government restrictions or other barriers.

    There have been a number of internet disruptions in Ukraine since the Russian invasion began last week. On Saturday, Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov of Ukraine, who is also the minister of digital transformation, wrote to Mr. Musk on Twitter to ask for Starlink stations.

    Latest: Complaint: Suspect chose Jayme when saw her on bus – News8000.com – WKBT
    Latest: Complaint: Suspect chose Jayme when saw her on bus – News8000.com – WKBT

    BARRON, Wis. (AP) – The Latest on the case of a kidnapped Wisconsin girl whose parents were fatally shot and the man accused of committing the crimes (all times local):

    1:05 p.m.
    A criminal complaint says a Wisconsin man accused of kidnapping 13-year-old Jayme Closs spotted her getting on a school bus one day and made up his mind to take her.

    Jake Thomas Patterson was charged Monday with kidnapping and with killing Jayme’s parents. The criminal complaint says Patterson told investigators he was driving to his job at a cheese factory one day near Almena, Wisconsin, when he stopped behind a school bus and watched Jayme get on.

    The complaint quotes Patterson as saying when he saw Jayme, “He knew that was the girl he was going to take.”

    The complaint says Patterson went to the Closs home twice with the intent of taking Jayme but was unable to do so because too many people were around before he was able to kidnap her.
    ___
    12:45 p.m.
    A Wisconsin man has been charged with kidnapping, two counts of first-degree intentional homicide and armed burglary in the abduction of 13-year-old Jayme Closs and the slaying of her parents.

    Jake Thomas Patterson was arrested Thursday after Jayme apparently escaped from a remote northwestern Wisconsin cabin where she says she was held.

    Patterson was charged on Monday.

    Investigators say the 21-year-old man broke into James and Denise Closs’ home near Barron, Wisconsin on Oct. 15 by blowing the front door open with a shotgun. Jayme’s parents were shot to death and the teenager vanished the same day.

    Investigators believe Patterson planned to abduct Jayme but say they don’t know what led him to target her.
    ___
    11:15 a.m.
    A Wisconsin sheriff says 13-year-old Jayme Closs had a smile on her face when he saw her Sunday, just days after she fled the remote cabin where she says she was held for three months.

    Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald said it was the first time he had met Jayme since she apparently escaped from her captor on Thursday.

    Fitzgerald called it “awesome” and a moment he’ll never forget. He says Jayme showed him the room where she is staying with an aunt in Barron, Wisconsin.

    Jake Thomas Patterson, the man suspected of abducting Jayme and killing her parents, James and Denise Closs, was expected to be charged later Monday with kidnapping and homicide.
    ___
    10:30 a.m.
    Photos of the Wisconsin cabin where a man suspected of kidnapping Jayme Closs allegedly held the teenager show an unfinished ceiling, a three-car garage and an empty box of adult female diapers in the trash.

    Investigators believe Jake Thomas Patterson broke into Jayme’s home in October, killed her parents and abducted her. She was missing for almost three months before a woman walking her dog near Gordon, Wisconsin, found her on the road. Jayme said she had escaped from Patterson’s cabin nearby.

    Photos published by the New York Post show the cabin’s living area, complete with a refrigerator, white kitchen cabinets and an old television. The ceiling is not finished.

    Exterior shots show a lean-to covering firewood, a three-car garage and an empty box of adult female diapers in a trash can. A sign over the front door reads “Pattersons Retreat.”
    ___
    9 a.m.
    Relatives of a 13-year-old Wisconsin girl who was kidnapped after her parents were fatally shot say they aren’t asking the girl to tell them what happened while she was held captive for three months.
    Her aunts say they’re surrounding Jayme Closs with love and attention.

    Lynn Closs and Sue Allard told “CBS This Morning” that they’re telling their niece they’re proud of her for surviving and escaping. Lynn Closs says her niece’s strength is incredible and that she took the power away from her captor.

    The suspect, Jake Patterson, is scheduled to make his first court appearance Monday.

    Investigators believe Patterson broke into James and Denise Closs’ home near Barron on Oct. 15, killed the couple and abducted their daughter.

    Jayme was missing for nearly three months before she escaped from a cabin in Gordon late last week. She told investigators Patterson had been holding her against her will.
    ___
    5:50 a.m.
    Defense lawyers for the man suspected of fatally shooting a Wisconsin couple and kidnapping their daughter say they believe he can get a fair trial, but they’re not sure where.

    Jake Patterson is scheduled to make his first court appearance Monday.

    Investigators believe he broke into James and Denise Closs’ home near Barron on Oct. 15, killed the couple and abducted their 13-year-old daughter, Jayme Closs. Jayme was missing for nearly three months before she escaped from a cabin in Gordon late last week. She told investigators Patterson had been holding her against her will.

    Public defenders Charles Glynn and Richard Jones say it’s been an emotional time for the community of Barron, and they understand the pain the case has generated.

    It’s unclear how Patterson became aware of Jayme, and authorities have found no evidence of any interactions between them. Charging documents released Monday could shed more light on the case.
    ___
    12 a.m.
    A man suspected of kidnapping a Wisconsin teenager and killing her parents is due to make his first court appearance.

    Twenty-one-year-old Jake Thomas Patterson is expected to appear in Barron County Circuit Court on Monday afternoon, after prosecutors formally charge him with intentional homicide and kidnapping.

    Investigators believe Patterson broke into James and Denise Closs’ home near Barron on Oct. 15, gunned the couple down and abducted 13-year-old Jayme Closs. She was missing for nearly three months before she escaped from the cabin in Gordon where she said Patterson had been holding her.

    Charging documents could shed more light on the case. It’s unclear how Patterson became aware of Jayme, and authorities have found no evidence of any interactions between them. Her family says they don’t know Patterson.

    Trump calls Schiff ‘political hack’ as Dems open new Russia probe, send transcripts to Mueller – Fox News
    Trump calls Schiff ‘political hack’ as Dems open new Russia probe, send transcripts to Mueller – Fox News
    Video

    Schiff announces investigation into President Trump ‘beyond Russia’

    House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff looks to expand scope of Russia probe; Fox News contributor Trey Gowdy reacts.

    One day after President Trump decried what he called “the politics of revenge” and “partisan investigations” in his State of the Union address, Democratic House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff announced a new, wide-ranging probe into the president’s foreign business dealings and Russian election meddling.

    The move was fiercely condemned by Trump, who called Schiff a “political hack” on a partisan search-and-destroy mission.

    The Intelligence Committee on Wednesday also voted to hand over a slew of interview transcripts to Special Counsel Robert Mueller that were generated by the panel’s previous Russia investigation, which was conducted under GOP leadership and concluded last March. That investigation found “no evidence” of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government in the 2016 election.

    Republicans had previously voted to release the transcripts publicly, but that has been held up by an intelligence community review to ensure no sensitive materials are disclosed.

    The flurry of activity comes shortly after Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley said he expected Mueller’s final Russia report “within a month.“

    TRUMP DOESN’T COMMIT TO MAKING MUELLER REPORT PUBLIC

    Although the precise nature of the new Democrat-led House probe is unclear, Schiff said the investigation will include “the scope and scale” of Russian intervention in the 2016 presidential election, the “extent of any links and/or coordination” between Russians and Trump’s associates, whether foreign actors have sought to hold leverage over Trump or his family and associates, and whether anyone has sought to obstruct any of the relevant investigations.

    Schiff, D-Calif., charged late last year that Trump’s financial records with Deutsche Bank and Russia might reveal a “form of compromise” that “needs to be exposed.”  Schiff has long maintained that there had to be some reason that the German banking giant, which has what he called a “history of laundering Russian money,” was willing to work with the Trump Organization.

    In response, Trump told reporters at the White House that Schiff was grandstanding.

    REPORT: RUSSIA SENDING FIGHTER JETS TO NORTH POLE

    “He has no basis to do that. He’s just a political hack who’s trying to build a name for himself,” Trump said. “It’s just presidential harassment and it’s unfortunate, and it really does hurt our country.”

    Trump, who last November called Schiff “little Adam Schitt,” warned during his State of the Union that an “economic miracle is taking place in the United States — and the only thing that can stop it are foolish wars, politics or ridiculous partisan investigations.”

    Russians attempt to discredit Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation

    Confidential material was released as part of a disinformation campaign.

    Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., characterized Trump’s remarks as threatening.

    “The president should not bring threats to the floor of the House,” Pelosi said.

    For his part, Schiff said Trump’s comments would not deter Democrats.

    MUELLER DEPUTY BRIEFED ON ANTI-TRUMP DOSSIER RESEARCH MONTHS BEFORE 2016 ELECTION

    “We’re going to do our jobs and the president needs to do his,” Schiff said. “Our job involves making sure that the policy of the United States is being driven by the national interest, not by any financial entanglement, financial leverage or other form of compromise.”

    While it was unclear whether Mueller had requested that the Intelligence Committee turn over the interview transcripts, Republicans unanimously voted in September to release the documents, pending a review for potentially sensitive contents. Democrats have long vowed to turn over the transcripts to Mueller.

    That investigation, which Democrats said had been concluded prematurely, found “no evidence of collusion, coordination or conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russians.”

    Since then, both former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen and Trump’s longtime adviser Roger Stone have been charged with lying to the panel. Cohen pleaded guilty in November to lying to the House and Senate intelligence committees about his role in a Trump business proposal in Moscow. He acknowledged that he misled lawmakers by saying he had abandoned the project in January 2016 when he actually continued pursuing it for months after that.

    Stone pleaded not guilty to charges last month that he lied to the House panel about his discussions during the 2016 election about WikiLeaks, the anti-secrecy group that released thousands of emails stolen from Democrats. Stone is also charged with obstructing the House probe by encouraging one of his associates, New York radio host Randy Credico, to refuse to testify before the House panel in an effort to conceal Stone’s false statements.

    Schiff on Wednesday also announced a delay in an upcoming closed-door interview with Cohen, “in the interests of the investigation.” The interview was originally scheduled for Friday. It will now be held on Feb. 28, Schiff said.

    Schiff said he could not speak about the reason for the delay. Hours after the meeting was pushed back, a document was filed under seal in the criminal case against Cohen brought by special counsel Robert Mueller’s office. The court’s docket did not contain any details about the nature of the document.

    Special counsel spokesman Peter Carr declined comment, as did Lanny Davis, an attorney for Cohen.

    Fox News’ Alex Pappas and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    VTV Noticias se renueva – Diario El País
    VTV Noticias se renueva – Diario El País

    Con cambios de figuras, escenografía y formato, VTV Noticias se relanzó esta semana bajo la conducción de Miguel Nogueira y de Rosario Rodríguez en su edición central. Malena Castaldi, en tanto, conduce la entrega del mediodía.

    El informativo de la señal de cable apuesta a una entrega central de una hora en la que prime la información de calidad y la contextualización de los hechos.

    Claudio Romanoff, uno de los nuevos responsables de la dirección periodística lo explica: “Nuestros objetivos han sido y son poner la información más importante del día en su contexto y ponderar las noticias más importantes sobre las menos importantes”. Y valora que todos los conductores de los noticieros en VTV son periodistas y no “lectores de noticias”.

    VTV Noticias también apelará al aporte de diversos columnistas en áreas como agro, derecho, economía, política y espectáculos o moda.

    “Lo único que podemos aportar es periodismo. Tenemos algunas ideas críticas y otras elogiosas respecto a lo que ya se hace en los informativos de televisión. Trataremos de tener un camino propio. Para hacer más de lo mismo, ya hay otras opciones”, asegura el otro responsable periodístico, Gabriel Pereyra.

    Y prosigue: “La gente se entera por los informativos de televisión de lo que sucedió. Nosotros vamos a buscar dar el por qué de las cosas. Que la gente sea capaz de entenderlas además de enterarse”.

    Miguel Nogueira critica ese formato televisivo de noticiero al que denomina “Noteinforma”. Para él, periodista radial y televisivo con amplia trayectoria, es su debut al frente de un informativo. “El desafío es muy grande”, considera.

    Rosario Rodríguez tiene 19 años en el medio, cinco en Canal 5 y el resto en VTV. A ellos se suma Castaldi, quien tiene larga trayectoria en prensa escrita y es la corresponsal de la agencia Reuters en Uruguay.

    Letra sin sangre.

    Claudio Romanoff proviene de Canal 4, donde por casi cinco años dirigió Telenoche y le aplicó diversos cambios, entre ellos redujo la cantidad de información policial.

    Para él, la propuesta de VTV Noticias debe marcar varias diferencias con respecto a los noticieros de TV abierta debido a su público. “Nosotros hacemos un informativo nacional, uruguayo, no montevideano. No vamos a dar el accidente en Hocquart y Martín C. Martínez”, ejemplifica.

    Respecto a las noticias policiales, Gabriel Pereyra asegura: “No le vamos a eludir al policial pero tampoco vamos a dar el policial tradicional. No van a haber robos ni intentos, ni accidentes con dos heridos. Lo policial tiene una contracara que es la seguridad política”.

    Romanoff cree en una división de la noticias entre aquellas que el equipo le asigne importancia y los “sucesos” del día. Es decir, episodios de relativo interés pero que no van a componer el corazón de VTV Noticias. “Para mí, las policiales pertenecen a la familia de los sucesos”, señala. De hecho, el noticiero no tiene ni tendrá un periodista especializado en este tipo de información, como sí habrá en distintas áreas.

    Otra apuesta de VTV Noticias radica en la producción de noticias e información propia. “No es que vamos a tener una agenda paralela, pero sí sobre los temas calientes y de actualidad vamos a buscar todas las aristas posibles”, indica Romanoff.

    Rosario Rodríguez valora la nueva propuesta. “Estamos trabajando mucho en la cocina y me ha tocado una mañana entera trabajando en dos temas. Es sumamente seductor profundizar en la información”.

    Para Pereyra, parte de las críticas que pueden efectuarse a los noticieros de TV radica en que sus periodistas suelen no tener tiempo. “Un mismo periodista cubre una información en el Parlamento y después un policial o una reunión en el Ministerio de Trabajo, entonces se hace difícil aterrizar un tema”.

    La duración de una hora es también una diferencia en cuanto a la TV abierta, donde los noticieros se extienden por casi dos horas.

    Romanoff entiende que los informativos de TV abierta expanden su duración por dos motivos: por un lado, los niveles de audiencia se mantienen, y por otro, la disposición de Ursec que establece que no se puede extender la tanda comercial por más de 15 minutos por hora hace que se necesite más tiempo para poder descargar mayor publicidad en la tanda.

    Independencia.

    Pereyra y Romanoff comenzaron a trabajar en el proyecto de VTV Noticias hace tres meses. Ambos también serán columnistas del noticiero cuando alguna información lo justifique.

    Pereyra asegura que desde el comienzo, la dirección de VTV les aseguró independencia. “Antes de plantear nada a la dirección del canal, en el propio contrato se estableció que nosotros somos los dueños de los contenidos. Es la primera vez que me pasa algo así”, dice.

    Y luego añade: “Eso no quiere decir que vamos a morder la mano que nos da de comer. No va a faltar quien diga que no le vamos a pegar a (Paco) Casal. Es una insensatez plantear eso, como preguntarle a un periodista de Canal 10 por qué no investiga la riqueza de los De Feo o a uno de Canal 12 que investigue si los Cardoso aportan a la DGI”.

    “Si mañana Casal es protagonista de un hecho nacional grande, lo vamos a cubrir con profesionalismo”, concluye.

    Miguel Nogueira acota: “De todas formas hay mucho mito con respecto a Casal. En ocho años, él visitó solamente una vez el edificio de VTV y la realidad es que el 95% de los funcionarios nunca lo vio, y tampoco a Nelson “Tano” Gutiérrez”.

    ¿En crisis?

    Los periodistas también hacen referencia a la crisis que parece azotar a los medios de comunicación.

    Nogueira opina que “la situación económica de los medios no es la mejor, pero el periodismo no está en crisis”. “La gente se sigue enterando del 95% de las cosas por los medios de comunicación”, sostiene.

    Pereyra, en tanto, considera que aunque los equipos periodísticos se hayan reducido, siempre se pueden “hacer cosas bien”. “A mí me encantaría que seamos 10 más, pero aun siendo uno se puede seguir haciendo buen periodismo”, afirma.

    Romanoff apuesta a eso. “Queremos aportar nuevas historias todos los días”. El primer paso ya lo dieron.

    El nuevo VTV Noticias ya está al aire. La primera edición se emite a las 13 horas, y la central con Nogueira y Rodríguez a las 19.

    Jan. 6 committee subpoenas Stephen Miller, Kayleigh McEnany | TheHill – The Hill

    The subpoenas to Miller and McEnany focus on the false statements they made promoting baseless claims of voter fraud.

    “As a White House Press Secretary you made multiple public statements from the White House and elsewhere about purported fraud in the November 2020 election, which individuals who attacked the U.S. Capitol echoed on Jan. 6,” the committee wrote in its subpoena to McEnany.

    The committee appeared to peg Miller as being at the center of an effort to craft voter fraud conspiracies and Trump’s messaging ahead of the Jan. 6 rally where the then-president encouraged his supporters to “fight like hell.”

    “You and your team prepared former President Trump’s remarks for the rally on the Ellipse on Jan. 6, you were at the White House that day, and you were with Trump when he spoke at the ‘Stop the Steal’ rally,” the committee wrote.

    “The Select Committee wants to learn every detail of what went on in the White House on January 6th and in the days beforehand.

    The subpoenas come just a day after the committee demanded testimony from former Trump campaign aides and John Eastman, who crafted the strategy used to contest the election both at the state level and during Congress’s certification of the vote. The panel also subpoenaed Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security advisor who sat in on a White House meeting about seizing voting machines.

    To that end the committee has questions for Nicholas Luna, who served as Trump’s personal assistant and was reportedly in the Oval Office the morning of Jan. 6 when the former President was on a phone call to Pence pressuring him not to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election.

    Miller, a powerful aid throughout Trump administration, especially in the immigration sphere, is also set to be asked about Eastman’s plans, including an effort to get states to encourage states to select alternate electors. Eastman held a meeting with some 300 state legislators in a bid to carry out this plan.

    The subpoenas also show an increasing interest in the activities of Meadows, who appears to have been involved in multiple aspects of Trump’s plan to push back on the election results.

    Cassidy Hutchinson, a special assistant, has been asked to testify about her work arranging a trip for Meadows to travel to Georgia to attend an election audit. Her letter suggests she is “potentially in a position” to inform the committee about Meadows’s contact with election officials there; his efforts to contact Department of Justice officials as Trump sought to pressure DOJ to involve itself in the election; and his contacts with Jan. 6 rally organizers.

    Liddell and Williamson are asked about similar themes, though Williamson’s subpoena also asks about a report indicating he and Meadows were contacted by former White House communications director Alyssa Farah and asked to persuade Trump to issue a statement condemning the attack at the Capitol as it was playing out. 

    The committee is also seeking testimony from those with more knowledge about Trump’s efforts at DOJ.

    A letter to Molly Michael, special assistant to Trump and Oval Office Operations Coordinator, asks about her role in sending election fraud claims to various officials on behalf of the president, including sending an email to former acting attorney general Jeffrey Rosen “from POTUS” discussing unfounded election irregularities in Michigan. 

    Another letter to Kenneth Klukowski seeks more information about the activities of Jeffrey Clark, a mid-level DOJ official that Trump weighed installing as attorney general after he proposed DOJ send a letter to Georgia and other states encouraging them to delay certification of their election results due to alleged fraud.

    “You communicated with Mr. Clark about that letter, and Mr. Clark contacted you before he attended a meeting at the White House during which he tried to oust Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and assume the role of acting United State attorney general,” the subpoena states. 

    Also subpoenaed is John McEnteeJohn (Johnny) David McEnteeBiden rolls out new members of White House senior staff GOP lawmaker: Trump implementing a ‘loyalty purge’ amid firing of top cybersecurity official Esper firing hints at broader post-election shake-up MORE, the White House personnel director.

    The committee said McEntee would likely be familiar with Oval Office conversations as Trump, Pence and Rudy GiulianiRudy GiulianiHere are the six latest Trump allies to be subpoenaed by Jan. 6 panel Jan. 6 panel issues six new subpoenas for Eastman, top Trump aides Giuliani says in deposition he ‘didn’t have the time’ to verify election claims: CNN MORE discussed the audit process in Georgia and “listened as Giuliani suggested seizing Dominion voting machines because of fraud.”

    But McEntee is also sought for his efforts in seeking to halt the transition process. 

    “You were also involved in communications with officials in various federal agencies regarding loyalty to former President Trump and you specifically discouraged a number of individuals from seeking employment after the election as it would appear to be a concession of President Trump’s defeat,” the committee wrote.

    Lastly the committee subpoenaed Keith Kellogg, Pence’s National Security Advisor, including sitting in on a meeting where Trump said Pence “need[ed] to send the votes back.” 

    It also seeks his insight on Trump’s reaction to the rally throughout the day, noting that he reportedly “urged Mr. Trump to send out a tweet to his supporters at the U.S. Capitol to help control the crowd.”

    The slew of subpoenas is likely to raise more executive privilege objections from Trump.

    Trump has already encouraged Meadows, his former communications guru Dan Scavino, Kash Patel, chief of staff to the then-defense secretary and Steve BannonStephen (Steve) Kevin BannonHere are the six latest Trump allies to be subpoenaed by Jan. 6 panel Jan. 6 panel issues six new subpoenas for Eastman, top Trump aides Pediatrician unveils challenge to GOP’s Mace in South Carolina MORE, who was not a White House employee at the time of the attack, to defy the committee and refuse to testify.

    While three are reportedly in negotiations with the committee, Bannon has since been censured by the committee and referred to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution. DOJ has not yet acted on the matter.

    Trump is also seeking to block release of his presidential records to the committee, claiming it would violate his executive privilege and that the committee lacks a valid legislative aim.

    The committee has steadfastly rejected those arguments, saying only the sitting president has the authority to exert executive privilege, and President BidenJoe BidenNicaragua’s Ortega set to win election amid international criticism Rep. Gosar posts anime video showing him striking Biden, Ocasio-Cortez Overnight Energy & Environment — Presented by ExxonMobil — Activists cry foul over COP26 draft MORE has already agreed to release the records. 

    Lawmakers on the committee have also pledged to introduce legislation to prevent another similar attack.

    3 snow leopards killed by COVID at Lincoln Children’s Zoo in Nebraska – New York Post

    The pandemic has claimed three more lives.

    The three snow leopards at the Lincoln Children’s Zoo in Nebraska died from COVID-19 complications.

    In October, the leopards and two Sumatran tigers tested positive for the virus and were treated with steroids and antibiotics. While tigers Axl and Kumar recovered, leopards Ranney, Everest and Makalu succumbed.

    The Lincoln Children’s Zoo announced that leopards, Ranney, Everest, and Makalu, died from COVID-19 complications.

    “It is very tough to lose any animal unexpectedly, especially one as rare and loved as the snow leopard,” a zoo spokesperson told local 1011 News.

    The zoo remains open to the public.

    Trump administration to give Border Patrol agents authority to decide asylum claims on the spot: Sources – Washington Examiner
    Trump administration to give Border Patrol agents authority to decide asylum claims on the spot: Sources – Washington Examiner

    The Department of Homeland Security is racing to implement a plan that would give federal law enforcement on the border the authority to conduct interviews with asylum seekers who fear returning to their home countries, according to two sources with firsthand knowledge of the plan.

    Under the pending procedural change, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officers would train Border Patrol agents on the southern border how to conduct “credible fear interviews,” which immigrants must pass to go on to claim asylum. Agents would conduct the interviews shortly after apprehending people who have illegally crossed from Mexico to the U.S.

    The Trump administration is pushing to start agent training “ASAP,” according to one official.

    [Also read: ICE starting 90-minute DNA tests on immigrant families at border]

    The proposal has some downsides. For instance, there likely would be fewer Border Patrol agents performing law enforcement duties while undergoing training. But that would be offset by an overall decline of undocumented immigrants seeking refuge in the U.S.

    “If that gets rolled out and we actually start deporting people within a timely manner, you’re going to see the numbers drop exponentially,” the official said.

    Homeland Security, under acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan, would essentially deputize law enforcement to carry out citizenship officers’ jobs in order to initially reduce the number of people who have passed that stage and are waiting on asylum decisions. Those calls usually take two to five years due to the current 900,000 cases waiting to be decided by fewer than 500 immigration judges nationwide.

    DHS is not planning to get congressional approval before implementing the change. Department officials believe they are within the law because an asylum officer must be an immigration official, which Border Patrol agents are considered to be. As long as agents get training on how to carry out those interviews and make those decisions, the department believes the plan is sound, a second official, who spoke on background in order to speak freely, explained.

    Currently, immigrant families who surrender to Border Patrol agents are taken to a station and interviewed there about their background. Those in custody are not to be held longer than 72 hours. While in Border Patrol custody, an immigrant can claim a “credible fear” of returning to his or her home country during the general interview with an agent.

    [Read more: Trump orders changes to the asylum system in memo]

    The agent would then notify U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services of the claim and a representative would hear and decide a person’s claim, likely after the person in custody has been transferred from Border Patrol to Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody. Families who have been found by a USCIS officer to have a credible fear of return cannot be held by ICE more than 20 days and will be released into the U.S. and told to show up for their asylum verdict years down the road.

    The second official said immigrants whose credible fear claims are denied would then have the ability to appeal the decision but would only have 10 days to have his or her case heard.

    “Theoretically, we could end up deporting them in two weeks, rather than two to five years,” the source said. The move is likely to be challenged in the courts.

    Man shot by FBI agent outside CIA headquarters after allegedly pulling out a weapon – CBS News
    Man shot by FBI agent outside CIA headquarters after allegedly pulling out a weapon – CBS News

    A man was shot and wounded outside the Central Intelligence Agency’s headquarters in McLean, Virginia, on Monday after emerging from his vehicle with a weapon, according to the FBI’s Washington Field Office. The CIA said the suspect did not breach the compound.

    The FBI said in a statement that it was reviewing an “agent-involved shooting” that occurred at roughly 6 p.m. local time.

    “An individual involved in a security incident outside Central Intelligence Agency Headquarters in McLean, VA, emerged from his vehicle with a weapon and was engaged by law enforcement officers,” the FBI’s statement said.

    The suspect was transported to a hospital for medical attention, according to the FBI. It did not provide any further details about the shooting, though it said hours earlier that agents had responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle outside CIA headquarters.

    A source near the scene told CBS News that he heard 13 shots fired.

    A CIA spokesperson told CBS News that its compound was not breached and the only agency personnel involved were its Security Protective Officers, who were working alongside local law enforcement. The CIA referred subsequent inquiries about the incident to the FBI.

    Pat Milton contributed reporting.

    ¿Llegan noticias de Italia? – Ovación
    ¿Llegan noticias de Italia? – Ovación

    En las últimas horas se sumó un nuevo nombre al enorme espectro de entrenadores que maneja la comisión de Peñarol que se encargará de nombrar al sustituto de Jorge “Polilla” Da Silva.

    Hasta el momento, han trascendido técnicos argentinos, Ariel Holan y Eduardo Domínguez ya fueron contactados por dirigentes aurinegros y en estas horas se hablará, seguramente, con Gustavo Alfaro y Miguel Ángel Russo.

    Pero además de entrenadores argentinos, hay uruguayos en carpeta. Ya se habló con Guillermo Alamada y muy difícil que pueda llegar ya que el Barcelona le habría ofrecido renovar contrato por tres temporadas.

    “No queremos contactar entrenadores que estén trabajando en el medio”, indicó Rodoflo Catino, cuando se consultó por la posibilidad de Leonardo Ramos, hoy en Danubio, o Mario Saralegui, en Liverpool. 

    También trascendió que podría conformarse en nuevo cuerpo técnico, pero nadie lo confirmó: ¿Jorge Giordano junto al profesor Esteban Gesto y Antonio Pacheco con ellos? Fue un rumor que ganó la calle ayer, pero hasta el momento, nada.

    El que sí se sumó a la lista de factibles entrenadores es Diego López. Y “encaja” en el perfil que definió, por ejemplo Andrés Sanguinetti días atrás: “buscamos un entrenador moderno, aggiornado, que trabaje mucho en cancha, que cuente con nuevas metodologías y teconológía en el trabajo”, y el ex-entrenador del Cagliari y Bologna de Italia, además de tener 42 años, fue destacado por la prensa italiana como uno de los nuevos técnicos con enorme proyección de futuro.

    Reconocido hincha de Peñarol, jugó en las formativas del club, antes de surgir en River Plate, tiene antecedentes de ser “tácticamente impecable”.

    ¿Será el uruguayo que nadie nombró? En los próximos días se sabrá.

    Why is Obama allowed ‘executive discretion’ on immigration, but Trump isn’t? – Washington Examiner
    Why is Obama allowed ‘executive discretion’ on immigration, but Trump isn’t? – Washington Examiner

    As House Democrats vote Tuesday to stop President Trump’s emergency declaration on the southern border, congressional Republicans should ask themselves: Why is it that every other president is permitted by courts to exercise “executive discretion,” and yet Trump isn’t?

    A New York Times report on Monday set up the scene for weak-willed Senate Republicans, writing that, “The [Democrat-controlled] House’s vote on a declaration of disapproval will force Republicans to choose between the congressional prerogative over federal spending established in the Constitution and a president determined to go around the legislative branch to secure funds for a border wall that Congress has refused to grant.”

    This is, on its face, a false choice, though some in the GOP are stupidly buying into it.

    Trump’s emergency declaration earlier this month does nothing more than free up little bits of money already allocated to the executive branch so that he can build more wall barriers on the border, stunting the overwhelming flood of illegal immigration from Latin America.

    It’s every bit of a crisis today as it was when former President Barack Obama called it that in 2014, and the media happily played along. Trump’s official declaration only means he’s using his last option to address the issue.

    This isn’t an choice between fidelity to the Constitution or blind loyalty to a president; though I’ll note the executive branch is part of that newly appreciated document, and Congress has already given the president the authority to do exactly what Trump is pursuing. This is a choice about relinquishing authority to Democrats to set immigration policy even while a Republican president is in office.

    Obama made up his own law in 2012 that said nearly 1 million eligible illegal immigrants in the U.S. would not only be overlooked by law enforcement but could come out, declare themselves to the public, and receive indefinite legal protection.

    Take for granted that the program was created out of compassion — plus Obama’s upcoming re-election — for young immigrants who may only know the U.S. as their home, but it should then also be taken for granted that if one president can dictate immigration policy within the authority Congress has given them, the same right belongs to every other president. Or, at the very least, every other president should be able to exercise power in moving to limit the influx of foreigners by erecting limited structures on the border.

    Not so fast, says the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit!

    The federal court ruled in November that the Trump administration could not end the Obama-era program with the argument that it was never legal to set it up in the first place. And yet, in the court’s unanimous opinion, it repeatedly acknowledged that the executive branch has the right to determine enforcement of immigration law by way of “executive discretion.”

    Page 10: Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals “was a permissible exercise of executive discretion.”

    Page 27: The Reagan administration “exercised executive discretion to defer the deportation of the minor children of non-citizens” and “extended voluntary departure, the mechanism through which these individuals were allowed to remain in the United States is, like deferred action, a creature of executive discretion.”

    Page 69: “We therefore conclude that DACA was a permissible exercise of executive discretion.”

    Who with a straight face could argue that it’s acceptable “executive discretion” for one president to carve out an exception for up to 1 million people not legally entitled residence in the U.S. but that it’s unconstitutional for another duly elected executive to eliminate that same exception? The 9th Circuit did it.

    Now Trump’s emergency declaration is, as everyone knew it would be, tangled up in court. That order didn’t even affect anyone in the U.S., whether legally here or not. It did nothing more than cobble together funds available to the executive so that Trump might add on to the existing walls and barriers at the southern border, slowing down the drug dealers, human traffickers, and child molesters from Central America.

    Skittish Republicans can keep this in mind when presented with the fake dilemma that they must either choose between the Constitution and the president. They can instead choose reality.
