Security review recommends enhanced background checks, retractable fencing to secure Capitol – POLITICO
Security review recommends enhanced background checks, retractable fencing to secure Capitol – POLITICO

“Any security measure that reduces physical access to the Capitol Complex makes it less accessible to the public it serves,” Honore and his team wrote. “As representatives of the people, Members understandably seek to be available to their constituents and transparent about their travel and activities, yet such openness can create physical security vulnerabilities.”

Honore’s review will ignite what is expected to be a tense reckoning among lawmakers who have been surrounded by thousands of National Guard troops, fencing and razor wire since the assault. It arrives at a moment of extreme distrust among lawmakers themselves, with many Democrats viewing the 138 Republicans who voted against certifying some of the states’ election results as a driver of the violent riots. And Republicans have blasted Honore for his comments accusing some GOP lawmakers and Capitol Police officials of complicity in the attack. House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has also argued that he worries Honore’s recommendation would permanently turn the Capitol into a “fortress.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) tasked Honore with the review as part of an initial bid to shore up overtaxed Capitol Police and identify significant gaps in the capacity of the force, District of Columbia law enforcement and other federal agencies to aid in an emergency. Other officials on Honore’s team include retired Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Buchanan, who helped organize aid to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, and Mary McCord, a former acting assistant attorney general for national security.

The group’s most significant recommendation includes the establishment of a “dedicated quick reaction force” for all of Washington D.C., one that could respond to developing emergencies and quickly ramp up law enforcement capacity. Honore’s team will propose three options: a force consisting of multiple law enforcement agencies that is granted legal authorities and funding; a quick reation force run by the D.C. National Guard that draws form National Guard units across the country; and a permanent military police battalion housed within the D.C. National Guard.

Honore will also suggest adding 874 new positions within the Capitol Police to cut down on overtime — which stretched to 720,000 hours in the last fiscal year, they found, an “unsustainable” dynamic.

“[I]t leaves the force with no ability to pull officers from the line to train at the individual, leader, or collective level or to prepare for evolving threats,” they wrote.

The advisers also found that the Capitol Police’s ability to process intelligence about the rising volume of threats against lawmakers is inadequate.

“Individuals and groups advocating extremist views actively use the internet to propagandize, recruit, radicalize, and organize political violence such as the Capitol Attack,” they wrote in their report. “Some also target Members with threats of violence. The USCP is not postured to track, assess, plan against, or respond to this plethora of threats due to significant capacity shortfalls, inadequate training, immature processes, and an operating culture that is not intelligence-driven.”

Honore’s group also recommended overhauling the Capitol Police Board — the obscure entity that includes the USCP chief, as well as House and Senate security officials and the architect of the Capitol — to make it less cumbersome during a crisis. That would include, in part, empowering the Capitol Police chief to act unilaterally during a crisis.

Among other recommendations:

-Expanding the Capitol Police’s canine explosive detection program, reestablishing horse-mounted patrols, requiring the presence of specially trained “civil defense units” every time Congress is in session and equipping all uniformed officers with riot gear and less-than-lethal weapons.

-Establishing an “unblinking” monitoring system of cameras and other sensors to help slow and track emerging threats to the building.

-Better route planning for Capitol evacuations during an emergency.

Honore also delved into what is likely to be a controversial subject: Enhanced background checks of all members, staff and Capitol employees to prevent any “insider threat.”

“Requiring background checks for identification card holders and employing card readers more widely throughout the complex would decrease insider threat risks and enhance the safety of all Members, staff, and legislative employees,” his group concluded.

That recommendations comes as Democrats have continued to allege that some Republicans may have wittingly or unwittingly aided the Jan. 6 riots, either by stoking then-President Donald Trump’s false claims that the election had been stolen or by encouraging people to march on D.C. amid Trump’s calls to stop Congress from certifying his defeat. Honore will also recommend pushing Capitol screening further back from the building and adding more “screening portals” throughout the complex.

Aside from security within the Capitol complex, Honore also offered initial recommendations about security for lawmakers while they’re traveling or in their districts. Though current protocols provide for security for legislative leaders, rank-and-file members often have “limited or inconsistent protection at their homes, in their districts, and while in transit,” the group found.

The advisers recommend establishing a “threat-based” system for providing security to non-leaderhsip members, and the establishment of a “Member Travel Operations Center” to manage security for lawmakers while in transit. District offices should also be upgraded to ensure a “uniform” level of monitoring and safety.

Buenas noticias para el maestro – Ovación

Una rotura fibrilar de grado I en el bíceps femoral izquierdo había dejado a Gastón Silva sin actividad en las últimas semanas y se estimaba que fuera baja para la próxima doble fecha de Eliminatorias en la que Uruguay recibirá a Ecuador y luego visitará a Chile.

Pero el defensor celeste se sumó el martes a los trabajos junto al plantel del Granada y hoy estuvo a la orden, en el banco de suplentes, en el encuentro que su equipo empató 1-1 con el Deportivo La Coruña por la Liga de España.

En tal sentido, todo hace indicar que Silva, citado a la selección por el maestro Tabárez, no tendrá ningún problema para vestir la Celeste en la próxima doble fecha de Eliminatorias rumbo al Mundial de Rusia 2018.

Court Blocks Trump Effort to Open Arctic Waters to Oil Drilling – The Wall Street Journal

A federal judge in Alaska has reinstated a ban on oil-and-gas drilling in vast swaths of the Arctic Ocean, potentially undermining a central part of the Trump administration’s effort to expand offshore drilling.

Mr. Trump will need congressional authority, according to the ruling, to reopen drilling in Arctic areas and smaller parts of the Atlantic Ocean that the Obama administration put off limits just weeks before President Obama left office. The late Friday ruling invalidates an executive order Mr. Trump issued during…

    First Thing: Waukesha Christmas parade driver charged with homicide – The Guardian
    First Thing: Waukesha Christmas parade driver charged with homicide – The Guardian

    Good morning.

    A man has been charged with five counts of intentional first-degree homicide after a vehicle was driven into a Christmas parade on Sunday night in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

    The city’s police chief named him as Darrell E Brooks at an afternoon press conference on Monday. He is accused of killing five people and injuring another 48, including two children who remain in a critical condition.

    Daniel Thompson, the police chief, said the suspect was involved in an unspecified domestic disturbance immediately before the parade incident, and that further charges were expected.

    Thompson said Brooks “drove right through the barricades” to enter the parade route and raced towards a collision with those entertaining the holiday crowds, including a marching band, a troupe of Dancing Grannies.

    • Was it a terrorist attack? Thompson said there was no evidence the bloodshed on Sunday was a terrorist attack or that the suspect knew anyone in the parade. The suspect had acted alone, the chief said.

    • Who were the victims? Tamara Durant and Jane Coolidge, both 52; Leanna Owens, 71; Virginia Sorenson, 79; and Wilhelm Hospel, 82, all died on Sunday.

    • How many are in hospital? At least 10 children remained in intensive care on Monday afternoon, health officials said. Injuries ranged from broken bones to serious head wounds.

    Starbucks launches aggressive anti-union effort as upstate New York stores organize

    Starbucks has launched an aggressive anti-union campaign as six stores in the Buffalo, New York, area have filed for union elections with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in recent weeks. If successful, the stores would be the first Starbucks corporate locations to unionize in the US.

    Workers at the coffee chain have reported numerous captive audience meetings, one-on-one talks, store shutdowns, closures, remodelings, and text messages – a mode of contact that was previously used only for emergencies. Dozens of corporate executives have flooded stores with the intent to deter workers from voting to unionize, workers say.

    The billionaire former Starbucks chief executive Howard Schultz visited Buffalo to present a case against unionizing to workers on 6 November and incited criticism for making an analogy to the Holocaust in discussing the company’s mission.

    • How have the Starbucks Workers United reacted? They filed an unfair labor practice charge with the NLRB on 4 November over Starbucks’ conduct during the union campaign.

    Roger Stone and Alex Jones among five to receive Capitol attack subpoenas

    The House select committee investigating the Capitol attack on Monday issued new subpoenas to five political operatives associated with Donald Trump, including Roger Stone and the far-right radio show host Alex Jones, as the panel deepens its inquiry into the Save America rally that preceded the 6 January insurrection.

    The subpoenas demanding documents and testimony expand the select committee’s inquiry focused on the planning and financing of the rally at the Ellipse, by targeting operatives who appear to have had contacts with the Trump White House.

    House investigators issued subpoenas to the veteran operatives Stone and Jones, Trump’s spokesperson Taylor Budowich, and the pro-Trump activists Dustin Stockton and his wife, Jennifer Lawrence.

    • Why were they subpoenaed? The chair of the select committee, Bennie Thompson, said the subpoenas aimed to uncover “who organized, planned, paid for, and received funds related to those events, as well as what communications organizers had with officials in the White House and Congress”.

    • What else are they interested in? They want to know more about Stone’s connection to the Oath Keepers, the militia group he used as his private security detail before several members stormed the Capitol.

    Joe Biden intends to run again in 2024, White House confirms

    The White House has said Joe Biden intends to run for re-election in 2024, a statement that comes amid speculation over his future after a dip in his approval rating.

    There has been a drop in the president’s polling numbers in recent months, leading some Democrats to speculate he might not seek another four-year term.

    “He is. That’s his intention,” said the White House press secretary, Jen Psaki, as Biden flew onboard Air Force One for a Thanksgiving event with US troops in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

    Democrats were rattled by Republican victories in Virginia’s gubernatorial election this month and a narrow Democratic victory in New Jersey.

    • The statement from the White House follows reports that Biden has been reassuring allies of his intentions to run again, and that he is keen to quash rumors of a one-term presidency.

    • Biden will be 15 days short of his 82nd birthday on 5 November 2024. He was already the oldest presidential candidate to be elected as commander-in-chief when he beat Donald Trump in the November 2020 election.

    • Kevin Spacey and his production companies must pay the studio behind House of Cards more than $30m because of losses brought on by his firing for alleged sexual misconduct, according to an arbitration decision made final on Monday.

    • At least 45 people including 12 children have died as a bus carrying mostly North Macedonian tourists crashed in flames on a highway in western Bulgaria hours before daybreak today. The tragedy is the most deadly bus accident in the country’s history.

    • For the past few months, small municipalities – many without any standing abortion clinics – such as Lebanon and Mason – have outlawed abortion. Though women in those cities can still travel to get an abortion, the bans send an intimidating message.

    • China’s birthrate has plummeted to its lowest level since 1978 as the government struggles to stave off a looming demographic crisis. The government is under pressure to prevent a potential population decline after decades of interventionist policies and, more recently, high living costs.

    In many mosques across the world, women are not even allowed to pray. In some mosques in the US, women may enter but are often forced pray in separate rooms – leading some to call it the “penalty box”. Spiritual leaders that have pushed boundaries – by running mixed congregation or an LGBTQ mosque – have received death threats. But at the Women’s Mosque of America, women are using their sermons to cover previously untouched topics including sexual violence, miscarriage and domestic violence.

    For anyone hoping for some optimism about our planet, the recent Cop26 climate summit left much to be desired. The scale of the crisis can make us feel powerless – and individual action may seem like a drop in the ocean where climate change is concerned. But there are ways to use the affiliations we already have – such as with employers, universities, unions or religious groups – to boost our collective voice for change.

    Jóvenes consumen noticias viralmente – Voz de América
    Jóvenes consumen noticias viralmente – Voz de América

    Un estudio presentado el lunes reveló que los jóvenes hoy consume noticias viralmente a través de redes móviles y sociales en mayor número de lo que se pensaba.


    Según el estudio, hecho por pel proyecto Media Insight que es patrocinado por AP-NORC y el Instituto Americano para la Prensa, dos tercios de los participantes reportaron consumir noticias en línea diariamente, y un 40 por ciento de ellos señalaron visitar medios de prensa varias veces al día.


    Los temas noticiosos que consumen son de interés civil o personal. Usualmente, las noticias son referidas por amigos o son tendencias populares en redes sociales.


    No obstante, los jóvenes utilizan diferentes medios para leer o ver ciertas noticias.


    Noticias de importancia política o mundial son vistas en formatos tradicionales o sitios de internet de la prensa establecida, mientras que noticias de entretenimiento son digeridas vía redes sociales como Facebook o Twitter.


    Una participante del estudio, Marilú Rodríguez, quien vive en Chicago y tiene 29 años, comentó que de niña su familia veía las noticias en la televisión, pero actualmente su medio preferido es su teléfono celular.


    Rodríguez enfatizó que algunos medios de comunicación, en especial la televisión, no proporcionan el tipo de cobertura que ella busca.


    “Algunas estaciones de noticias tienen que crecer”, dijo Rodríguez, quien dijo estar frustrada por coberturas no-objetivas y poco serias que muchos medios de televisión presentan.


    Opiniones como las de Rodríguez han causado preocupación en medios de televisión, cuya audiencia juvenil ha disminuido progresivamente en los últimos años, según Los Angeles Times.


    Por su parte nuevas tecnologías e industrias buscan atraer a los jóvenes y contribuir al cambio de medios periodísticos, incluyendo la televisión.


    Adriano Farano, un empresario italiano, recientemente creó una aplicación llamada Watchup que ayudaría a medios de televisión atraer la atención de jóvenes distribuyendo noticias viralmente, usando un sistema de preferencia y librerías parecido a Netflix o iTunes.


    El estudio también reveló que el consumo de noticias vía redes sociales y  móviles igualmente ha incrementado en generaciones más adultas.

    Mayoría de estadounidenses dice que noticias falsas crean confusión – Primera Hora
    Mayoría de estadounidenses dice que noticias falsas crean confusión – Primera Hora


    NUEVA YORK  â€” Dos tercios de los adultos estadounidenses dicen que las noticias falsas están causando “mucha confusión” sobre los hechos básicos de los acontecimientos actuales, de acuerdo con un nuevo estudio del Centro de Investigaciones Pew.

    Las noticias ficticias sobre política han llamado bastante la atención recientemente debido a la posibilidad de que hayan influido en la percepción pública y pudieran haber inclinado la balanza en la elección presidencial de Estados Unidos.

    Por otra parte, Facebook anunció el jueves que está tomando nuevas medidas para combatir las noticias falsas en su red social.

    Estos son otros hallazgos del análisis:

    —Casi un tercio de los participantes del estudio dijeron que ven “muchas veces” noticias ficticias en línea sobre política. Menos de la mitad dijeron que tenían “mucha confianza” en que podían detectar las noticias falsas. Otro 45% dijo que se sentía “algo” confiado.



    Contenido relacionado




    —La gente definitivamente está compartiendo noticias ficticias en línea, y algunas personas lo hacen conscientemente. Casi una cuarta parte de los participantes del sondeo dijeron que han compartido una historia falsa. El 14% compartió una noticia que sabía que era ficticia, mientras que el 16% se dio cuenta de que lo era después de compartirla. Debido a que el sondeo estuvo basado en las respuestas de los participantes, no está claro cuantas personas compartieron noticias falsas de las que nunca se percataron que lo eran.

    —El 45% dijo que el gobierno y los políticos tienen “mucha” responsabilidad por la tarea de evitar que las noticias falsas llamen la atención. Alrededor de la misma cantidad de gente, 43%, respondió que esta responsabilidad recae en el público, mientras que el 42% dijo que le corresponde a las redes sociales y a los sitios de búsqueda.

    —Los republicanos y los demócratas fueron igualmente propensos a decir que las noticias ficticias dejan a los estadounidenses “profundamente confundidos”. Los participantes con ingresos más elevados fueron más propensos a decir que las noticias ficticias están creando confusión, pero otros factores como la raza, el género y el nivel educativo no tuvieron efecto real.

    El sondeo del Pew fue realizado del 1 al 4 de diciembre entre 1.002 estadounidenses adultos.

    Donald Trump Jr’s new anti-Biden book misplaces apostrophe in title – The Guardian

    Donald Trump Jr appears to have forgotten one of the cardinal rules of the apostrophe: it comes after the “s” when the possessive noun is plural.

    The American president’s son’s forthcoming book, Liberal Privilege, is subtitled “Joe Biden and the Democrat’s Defense of the Indefensible”. Unless Trump Jr is referring to only one Democrat, then the apostrophe needs to shift one place to the right to make the title grammatically correct.

    Detail from trailed cover art for Liberal Privilege.

    The book is out in August. Trump Jr said on Twitter that he had been working on it “during the last few months of quarantine”, and that he was “blown away by what Biden has gotten away with”.

    “Libs,” he added, are “already triggered” by the book.

    But Trump Jr was careful to share only a small portion of the book’s cover on Twitter, after Axios broke the news about the title, and he was mocked for the grammar error. His previous book, Triggered, was a New York Times No 1 bestseller, but sales were reported to have been boosted by bulk orders from the Republican National Committee.

    According to Axios, Trump Jr is self-publishing the new book as “a shot across the bow” to traditional publishers, and “partnered” on it with the Trump Victory Finance Committee’s chief of staff, Sergio Gor.

    His girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, an ex-Fox News television personality who is a senior fundraiser for Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, will read the audiobook, and also helped him work on it. Guilfoyle tested positive for the coronavirus last week.

    “That’s how we came up with the idea for her to do the audiobook,” Trump Jr told Axios. “We would take turns reading the chapters out loud for flow … Love in a time of Covid.”

    Biden’s national press secretary, TJ Ducklo, told Axios that Liberal Privilege was “the latest in a series of desperate and pathetic attempts to distract from the president’s historic bungling of the coronavirus response”.

    “Is there anything more on brand than Donald Trump Jr trying to cash in on a book filled with disgusting lies and smears about Joe Biden?” Ducklo added.

    La implacable persecución y captura de Martín Belaunde Lossio, el hombre más … – BBC Mundo
    La implacable persecución y captura de Martín Belaunde Lossio, el hombre más … – BBC Mundo

    Martín Belaunde se escapó de su arresto domiciliario el domingo con la aparente complicidad de varias personas.

    Martín Belaunde Lossio, empresario y exasesor del presidente de Perú, Ollanta Humala, fue hasta hace unos momentos el hombre más buscado por Bolivia y Perú.

    Fue capturado en Beni (noreste de Bolivia) poco después del mediodía, hora local, en una casa particular donde se refugió. No opuso resistencia y de inmediato fue enviado a La Paz, informaron medios bolivianos.

    La noticia fue ratificada por la cuenta de Twitter del Ministerio de Gobierno de Bolivia: “Confirmado, la Policía capturó a Belaunde”.

    La Fiscalía peruana lo acusa de “conformar una organización criminal, como jefe de organización, por el caso Antalsis”.

    Antalsis era una empresa española para la que Belaunde Lossio presuntamente realizó cabildeo con autoridades peruanas con el fin de conseguirle millonarias licitaciones.

    Además se le investiga por presuntos delitos contra la administración pública “en la modalidad de colusión, tráfico de influencias y asociación ilícita para delinquir en agravio del Estado”, según el Ministerio Público peruano.

    Belaunde Lossio se trasladó en diciembre a La Paz, Bolivia en busca de refugio y desde el pasado domingo desapareció de aquel lugar hasta que fue ubicado después de pasar cinco días en la clandestinidad.

    Las autoridades bolivianas, antes del operativo policial que terminó en su captura, anticiparon que sería entregado a la justicia peruana de inmediato.


    El ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Bolivia, David Choquehuanca, compareció en rueda de prensa para hablar sobre la desaparición de Belaunde Lossio.

    Búsqueda implacable

    La misteriosa desaparición de Belaunde Lossio el domingo 24 de mayo en La Paz, hizo que el presidente de Bolivia, Evo Morales, prescindiera de su ministro de Gobierno y del comandante de la Policía, mientras que en Perú una avalancha de críticas castigó sin piedad al gobierno por no haber logrado la extradición del excolaborador a tiempo.

    El escándalo alcanzó, principalmente, a la primera dama peruana, Nadine Heredia. Frente a las críticas, el presidente peruano ofreció el martes una recompensa por la entrega de Belaunde, a quien llamó “delincuente”. El mandatario rechazó, una vez más, que su administración proteja al ahora detenido y calificó de “insensatos” los ataques contra él y su esposa.

    Y eso no es todo.

    Desde que Belaunde Lossio abandonó la casa en la que guardaba arresto domiciliario a la espera de su entrega a la justicia peruana, 14 personas en Bolivia fueron involucradas en la fuga.

    Un día antes de su detención, el ministro de la Presidencia de Bolivia, Juan Ramón Quintana, anunció una “búsqueda implacable” en una entrevista radial.

    La fuga

    Martín Belaunde Lossio solicitó refugio en Bolivia el 16 de diciembre de 2014, después de pasar la frontera de Perú sin que la justicia ni la policía de aquel país lo advirtieran.

    Desde enero se quedó en una de las casas de Yuliano Arista y de su prima hermana Cloritza Díaz Belaunde, mejor conocidos como el Curaca Blanco y Zulayda, “curanderos espiritistas expertos en la unión de parejas”.

    La justicia boliviana había determinado arresto domiciliario para él mientras se resolvía su pedido de refugio y la solicitud de extradición que se tramitó en Lima.


    Estos son los objetos hallados en la habitación donde Belaunde Lossio se refugió hasta la desaparición.

    Su desaparición se produjo en la madrugada del pasado domingo, 14 días después de que el Tribunal Supremo de Justicia de Bolivia determinara que el exasesor de Humala debía ser entregado a la justicia peruana.

    Un día después del incidente, Hugo Moldiz renunció a su cargo de ministro de Gobierno en Bolivia y su sucesor, Carlos Romero, anunció cambios en los altos mandos policiales para que no se repitan episodios así.

    Evo Morales, en conferencia de prensa, dijo que “corrió mucha plata”, dando a entender que los vigilantes de Belaunde recibieron sobornos para dejarlo huir.

    “Seis custodios para una persona y que se les escape, es muy raro, lamento muchísimo ese desempeño policial, ojalá ellos que de alguna manera han permitido esta fuga puedan dar con el paradero y lo traigan al señor Belaunde para rendir cuentas”, afirmó a BBC Mundo el presidente del Senado boliviano, José Alberto Gonzales.

    En menos de 48 horas, 14 personas quedaron detenidas, sospechosas de haber colaborado en la fuga.

    Edgar Fernández, conocido como el lector de cartas del Tarot Ramsés, fue uno de los detenidos por la desaparición de Belaunde que, después de obtener su libertad, conversó con BBC Mundo.

    “Vivimos horas de mucho miedo e incertidumbre. Por el hecho de hablar con Martín o visitar esa casa corríamos peligro de perder la libertad. Nueve familiares quedaron detenidos sólo por el hecho de ser familiares”.

    En la década del 90, Ramsés fue uno de los testigos clave de un escándalo por narcotráfico que costó la libertad a importantes líderes políticos bolivianos en aquella época.

    Después de someterse a un programa de protección de testigos de la DEA en Costa Rica, Ramsés volvió a Bolivia como lector de cartas del Tarot. Su esposa es hija de una sobrina de Belaunde y aquel parentesco le costó la detención a los tres.


    La fuga de Belaunde Lossio dio lugar a la detención de al menos 14 personas. En la imagen, uno de los guardias sospechoso de haber ayudado a Belaunde a escapar.

    Otro de los detenidos, el empresario y excorredor egipcio boliviano Alí Eid Alí, es acusado de haber prestado uno de los vehículos de su autoventa para que Belaunde escape.

    A pesar de la captura de Belaunde, la investigación sobre él persiste y el vehículo fue confiscado.

    Los vínculos con la pareja presidencial

    A su llegada a Bolivia, Martín Belaunde se declaró perseguido político y dijo que él era “peligroso” para la pareja presidencial de Lima.

    La Fiscalía de Perú informó a través de un comunicado que estaba vigente una orden de detención preventiva de 18 meses en contra del exasesor por otro caso conocido como “La Centralita”, una red criminal de desvío de fondos públicos que Belaunde habría cubierto con una de sus empresas.

    Además, el pasado febrero, la fiscalía anticorrupción en Lima emitió una resolución en la que dispuso que la primera dama de Perú, Nadine Heredia, y cuatro congresistas también debían ser investigados por el caso de tráfico de influencias conocido como Antalsis.

    La relación de Nadine Heredia con Belaunde Lossio se destapó unos años antes, cuando la Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera de Perú halló irregularidades en las cuentas de la pareja de Ollanta Humala y se filtraron los contratos que ella tenía con el exasesor.

    Por aquellos vínculos, la primera dama afronta otra investigación por lavado de activos, al no haberse determinado el origen del dinero (US$215.000) depositado a su cuenta de ahorros entre 2006 y 2009.


    La pareja presidencial de Perú está también bajo la lupa en el caso de Martín Belaunde Lossio.

    El periodista Rodrigo Cruz, que sigue el caso para el diario El Comercio de Lima, explicó a BBC Mundo que la relación de Belaunde Lossio con los Humala arranca en la campaña de las elecciones que Ollanta perdió en 2006.

    “Ellos necesitaban de alguien que los ayudara a introducir en los medios su proyecto político. Ese fue Martín Belaunde, empresario, joven de familia acomodada y de ideas de izquierda. El lazo se hace más fuerte con el tiempo. Y más aún cuando empiezan a ingresar bastante sumas de dinero a la campaña”.

    Cruz añade que, desde entonces, Nadine es investigada por los sospechosos contratos que contrajo con Belaunde y que habrían sido para “blanquear dinero venezolano que llegaba a su cuenta personal”.

    Todo ello motivó, desde el domingo, una ola de críticas de todos los partidos de oposición en Perú que acusaron al gobierno de no actuar a tiempo y facilitar la desaparición de su excolaborador.

    A pesar de la detención, en ambos países persiste la guerra verbal entre representantes políticos que se responsabilizan los unos a los otros de haber permitido que Belaunde Lossio desaparezca durante cinco días.

    El episodio le costó el cargo a un ministro en La Paz y otro está muy cerca de ser interpelado en Lima.

    No serán los únicos. Los siguientes episodios del caso del hombre que fue el más buscado por Perú y Bolivia todavía son un misterio.

    Secretario de Estado de Trump busca "transición" para Venezuela – teleSUR TV
    Secretario de Estado de Trump busca "transición" para Venezuela – teleSUR TV

    El nominado por Donald Trump para secretario de Estado de Estados Unidos, Rex Tillerson, buscará una transición a la democracia en Venezuela, según su respuesta a preguntas de los senadores que evalúan su confirmación.

    “Debemos pedir que se liberen los presos políticos y reforzar las sanciones a los violadores de DD.HH. en Venezuela y a los narcotraficantes”, respondió Tillerson a la pregunta de qué políticas debería llevar a cabo para ayudar a resolver lo que ellos consideran una crisis política que impera en Venezuela.

    Estas declaraciones de Tillerson, cuya audiencia de confirmación en el Senado se celebró el pasado 11 de enero, fueron publicadas por la web Latin America Goes Global.

     

    El exjefe de la petrolera ExxonMobil desea “cooperar particularmente con Brasil y Colombia y con organismos multilaterales como la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA), para buscar una transición negociada a la democracia en Venezuela”.

    Estados Unidos deberá continuar “respaldando un legítimo diálogo que resuelva la crisis política entre el Gobierno de Maduro y la oposición, la cual ahora controla la Asamblea Nacional”.

    “Se van a cumplir las sanciones impuestas por el Congreso (…) vamos a continuar apoyando los esfuerzos del secretario general de la OEA, Almagro, en la búsqueda de la invocación de la Carta Democrática Interamericana para promover la normalización de la situación en Venezuela y el restablecimiento de las situaciones democráticas”.

    Dos influyentes senadores republicanos, John McCain y Lindsey Graham, anunciaron este domingo que respaldan a Tillerson, lo que confirmaría su cargo.

    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.”

    Carmen Dominicci and Neida Sandoval present the Telemundo and The Weather Channel co-production

    Miami – July 31, 2014 – Telemundo presents “Muriendo por Cruzar”, a documentary that investigates why increasing numbers of immigrants are dying while trying to cross the US-Mexican border near the city of Falfurrias, Texas, this Sunday, August 3 at 6PM/5 C.  The Telemundo and The Weather Channel co-production, presented by Noticias Telemundo journalists Carmen Dominicci and Neida Sandoval, reveals the obstacles immigrants face once they cross into US territory, including extreme weather conditions, as they try to evade the border patrol.  “Muriendo por Cruzar” is part of Noticias Telemundo’s special coverage of the crisis on the border and immigration reform.

     

    “‘Muriendo por Cruzar’” dares to ask questions that reveal the actual conditions undocumented immigrants face as they try to start a new life in the United States,” said Alina Falcón, Telemundo’s Executive Vice President for News and Alternative Programming.  “Our collaboration with The Weather Channel was very productive. They have a unique expertise in covering the impact of weather on people’s lives, as we do in covering immigration reform and the border crisis. The result is a compelling documentary that exposes a harrowing reality.”

    “Muriendo por Cruzar” is the first co-production by Telemundo and The Weather Channel.  Both networks are part of NBCUniversal.

      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.
