Three people have died in national parks around the US since the start of the government shutdown, during which the Trump administration chose to keep the parks open.
After most of the federal workforce was granted leave on 21 December, three days later a 14-year-old girl fell 213m to her death at the Horseshoe Bend Overlook, part of the Glen Canyon Recreation Area in Arizona.
On Christmas Day, a man died at Yosemite National Park in California after suffering a head injury from a fall. On 27 December, a woman was killed by a falling tree at Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which straddles the borders of North Carolina and Tennessee.

The deaths follow a decision by Trump administration officials to leave the scenic – but sometimes deadly – parks open even as the Interior Department has halted most of its operations.
During previous extended shutdowns, the National Park Service barred access to many of its sites across the nation.
Spokesman Jeremy Barnum said in an email that an average of six people die each week in the park system, a figure that includes “accidents like drownings, falls, and motor vehicle crashes and medical related incidents such as heart attacks”.
“Throughout the year, the National Park System offers a wide range of visitor experiences in unique landscapes with potential hazards that may exist at parks across the nation,” Mr Barnum said.
“Visitors can reduce their risk of injury if they plan ahead and prepare properly, select the most appropriate activity that matches their skill set and experience, seek information before they arrive at the park about hazards and environmental conditions, follow rules and regulations and use sound judgement while recreating.”
In 1995 and 2013, respectively, the Clinton and Obama administrations made the decision to close the parks altogether.
Officials came to the conclusion that it would jeopardise public safety and the parks’ integrity to keep them open, but the closures also became a political cudgel for Democrats because they exemplified one of the most popular aspects of federal operations that had ground to a halt.
In January 2018, White House budget director Mick Mulvaney and then-Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke made the decision to keep national park sites as accessible as possible in the event of a shutdown.
Trump officials forged ahead with the plan – but that shutdown only lasted for three days. The current shutdown enters the third week on Saturday.
Several former Park Service officials, along with the system’s advocates, said in interviews that activities such as viewing animals and hiking outdoors can carry a greater risk when fewer employees are around.
Diane Regas, president and chief executive of the Trust for Public Land, said the group has sent a letter to Donald Trump calling on him to close all national parks.
She said administration officials may have underestimated the broad scope of what it takes to maintain these sites.
“I think we all know that not having bathrooms is a nuisance,” Ms Regas said. “What I think people forget is, not having adequate sewage treatment can be dangerous.”
“When you bring people together, running these parks is like running a small city. We are taking risks with some of our most treasured natural resources without knowing that we’re doing our best to protect people, that we’re doing our best to protect park resources. When it comes to our national parks, I just don’t believe that’s acceptable.”
The Park Service estimates that up to 16,000 of its 19,000-person workforce are given leave during the shutdown.
Officials said services such as cleanup and maintenance vary from park to park, due to agreements with concessions and surrounding municipalities that are donating services, such as trash collection and road clearing.
Still, roughly half a dozen rangers are currently available to patrol Yosemite National Park, for example, which is about the size of Rhode Island. Officials said skeleton crews are working to close off hazardous areas covered in snow and ice.
On Christmas Eve, the 14-year-old girl raced from the car park where her parents parked to see the Horseshoe Bend Overlook, a dramatic cliff that looks out to a peninsula of jagged rock.
After a long search, her parents reported her missing about 5pm, triggering an emergency response, according to the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office. She was discovered near the cliff near dark, forcing authorities to wait and retrieve her body the next morning.
National Park Service officials said rangers responding to an emergency call found the second victim at Yosemite with a head wound, apparently from a short fall.
They did not confirm social media chatter from other visitors that he ran after a dog that he illegally brought into the park. The man, who was not identified, died of his injuries.
A spokesman for the Pacific West Region of the Park Service said the public wasn’t notified of the Yosemite death because of the shutdown and that it is also delaying an investigation into its causes.
“We aren’t releasing more details because the incident remains under investigation, said Andrew Muñoz, acting chief of public and congressional affairs for the region.
Two days after the Yosemite incident, 42-year-old Laila Jiwani was killed by a falling tree on Porter Creek Trail in the Smoky Mountains.
One of Jiwani’s two children, a 6-year-old, was airlifted to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, according to a Park Service spokesman.
Frank Dean, president and chief executive of the Yosemite Conservancy, said in a phone interview that the park’s staff is doing its best under challenging circumstances.
“This is the first time in a long-term shutdown where the parks have remained open,” said mr Dean, who served as a park ranger and assistant to the superintendent in Yosemite before going on to become superintendent for the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. What we’re finding now is it’s not really working, because you’ve got understaffing. As this thing drags on, you’ve got free access and no guidance.”
Daniel Wenk, who served as Yellowstone National Park’s superintendent until retiring in September, said in an interview that not having a robust presence could impede the agency’s response to an emergency.
“A casual cross-country skier would want to go to Tower Falls” in Yellowstone, Mr Wenk said. “If they suffer a heart attack – every year you have that – we wouldn’t be able to quickly respond. You might be dramatically delayed. It’s correct, people die in national parks all the time.
“If you can attribute [the shutdown] to people not being able to get to them for an hour and a half, that’s another story.”
While a handful of major parks have remained open during past shutdowns, many agency staffers had not anticipated that the budget impasse would persist this long.
Now some superintendents are closing off areas of their parks as it drags on, having determined that they cannot adequately protect either the habitat, wildlife or visitors.
Mount Rainier’s National Park Inn has been cleaning toilets and collecting trash at its own expense, but will stop doing that after breakfast on Sunday.
Melinda Simpson, operations manager at the concessionaire Rainier Guest Services, said that after that point, the National Park Service “will be then closing the park and locking the gates”.
“We couldn’t continue to operate under these conditions, and really wish we could. It’s very disappointing,” she said, noting that the operation’s 45 employees would have to go without pay while it was shut down. We are just waiting and looking forward to welcoming the guests when they open up the park again.”
Kristen Brengel, vice president of government affairs for the National Parks Conservation Association, said that superintendents need the freedom to shutter parks if they determine it is no longer sustainable to keep them accessible.
“The political pressure to keep the parks open is overriding some of these judgment calls,” she said in an interview. “We need a release valve here for the Park Service, so they can do the right thing.”
In addition to restrooms not being maintained and visitors not being properly warned and guided by staff, crews cannot work to prepare parks for the summer season and fix roads.
Vehicle accidents ranked second behind drowning as a cause of death in parks in 2007, according to the last comprehensive tally released to the public.
President Trump on Friday pledged to sign an executive order creating a “road to citizenship” for “Dreamer” immigrants — although a press secretary later backpedaled on the plan and some experts say he’s not authorized to do so.
Trump told Telemundo anchor Jose Diaz-Balart that the order would lead to citizenship for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients.
“One of the aspects of the [order] is going to be DACA. We are going to have a road to citizenship,” Trump said.
But immigration experts and his fellow Republicans said Trump would have to go through Congress for such a sweeping immigration policy.
“There is ZERO constitutional authority for a President to create a ‘road to citizenship’ by executive fiat,” tweeted Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
“It was unconstitutional when Obama issued executive amnesty, and it would be a HUGE mistake if Trump tries to illegally expand amnesty.”
White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere later released a statement saying “As the President announced today, he is working on an executive order to establish a merit-based immigration system to further protect U.S. workers.”
The statement, added, “Furthermore, the President has long said he is willing to work with Congress on a negotiated legislative solution to DACA, one that could include citizenship, along with strong border security and permanent merit-based reforms.
Asegura que, en plena carrera, el hombre le hizo preguntas incómodas y le tocó la entrepierna. Plataforma dice que lo “bloqueará”.
“Me dijo que en dónde se creaba el músculo, que si en los brazos o en las piernas, y yo le dije que en las piernas y me empezó a tocar la entrepierna”, sostiene la joven de 18 años.
Al terminar la carrera, la víctima se contactó con su mamá y puso la queja a la empresa. Esta fue la respuesta que obtuvo en ese momento: “te contamos que hemos procedido a tomar las medidas de seguridad correspondientes para que esto no se repita”.
Sin embargo, dice que no logró tener los datos del conductor porque la aplicación deshabilitó esa opción.“Uber no nos contestó. Después de 5 horas tuvimos contacto con ellos, les pedí las medidas que iban a tomar y me dijeron que no me podían decir por políticas de privacidad”.
La empresa, a través de un mensaje, le aseguró a Noticias Caracol que lo sucedido “es totalmente inaceptable para Uber. Tan pronto tuvimos conocimiento de la situación, iniciamos los procedimientos necesarios para bloquear al conductor permanentemente de la aplicación”.
Noticias Caracol logró contactar al hombre que conducía el vehículo, quien negó haber realizado cualquier acto de agresión contra la joven.
La madre de la mujer aseguró que interpondrá una acción legal en contra de Uber.
A controversial poster showing a photo of Muslim Representative Ilhan Omar underneath an image of the 9/11 World Trade Center attack led to a partisan confrontation at the West Virginia statehouse Friday.
According to NBC News, one person was injured during the melee and another staffer resigned after allegedly accusing Muslims of being terrorists.
The incident occurred during a state Republican-sponsored event called WVGOP Day held in the West Virginia Capitol building.
The Washington Post reports, though the person or group behind the poster has not yet been identified, it appears to have been positioned next to a sign for the group ACT For America, which has been accused of being anti-Muslim.
The poster’s text was also inflammatory. Placed over the World Trade Center image were the words, “‘Never forget’ — You said.”

And below the Congresswoman’s photo were the words, “I am the proof you have forgotten.”
State Democrats objected to the poster, with one member declaring that it was “hateful.”
Omar herself has since blasted Republicans over the incident, tweeting: “No wonder why I am on the ‘Hitlist’ of a domestic terrorist and ‘Assassinate Ilhan Omar’ is written on my local gas stations. Look no further, the GOP’s anti-Muslim display likening me to a terrorist rocks in state capitols and no one is condemning them!”

Early voter turnout in Texas continued to shatter records on Friday, as the number of early voters surpassed the state’s total number of voters in 2016. Over nine million people have voted in the state as of Friday, the last day of early voting.
Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris visited the state to campaign. “Today is the last day of early voting in Texas and you all have been doing your thing,” she said in Fort Worth.
Meanwhile, President Trump and Joe Biden both campaigned in the Midwest as they head into the final weekend before Election Day. Mr. Trump’s rally in Rochester, Minnesota, was limited to 250 people due to coronavirus restrictions, and he only spoke for only 30 minutes.
Biden, meanwhile, had his busiest day so far of the general election, holding rallies in three states and returning to Iowa for the first time since he came in fourth in the caucuses in February. “Back at the state fair,” he said, at the top of his remarks in Des Moines.
Biden will be hitting the campaign trail in Michigan on Saturday with former President Obama. The pair will be in Flint and Detroit, as Biden hopes to recapture the state that Mr. Obama won in 2008 and 2012 but went red for Mr. Trump in 2016.
People hold signs outside of the Metropolitan Multi-Services Center of Montrose in Houston on the last day of early voting October 30, 2020.
Media captionMacron on Nato: “We don’t have the same definition of terrorism”
US President Donald Trump and French leader Emmanuel Macron have set out opposing views ahead of a Nato summit.
In an occasionally tense press conference, the two politicians sparred over Nato’s role, Turkey, and Islamic State group (IS) fighters.
Mr Trump had described Mr Macron’s comments about Nato as “nasty”, but Mr Macron said he stood by his words.
World leaders are in London to mark the Western military alliance’s 70th anniversary.
The summit has already been marked by strained relations between Turkey and other member states.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said he will oppose Nato’s plan for the defence of the Baltic region if it does not back Turkey over its fight against Kurdish groups it considers terrorists.
On Tuesday night, Mr Macron and Mr Erdogan met in Downing Street in a four-way meeting that also included German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the host, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Mr Trump hit back on Tuesday by saying the French leader had been “very disrespectful”, adding that France had “a very high unemployment rate” and “nobody needs Nato more than France”.
Media captionDonald Trump: Macron comments “nasty, insulting, and disrespectful”
At a joint press conference with Mr Macron later, Mr Trump was less combative, stressing that the two countries had “done a lot of good things together”. Mr Macron, meanwhile, said he stood by his comments.
The two sides then clashed over foreign IS fighters who were captured in Syria.
Mr Trump jokingly offered them to France, saying: “Would you like some nice [IS] fighters? You can take everyone you want.”
Sounding stern, Mr Macron said “Let’s be serious” and that IS fighters from Europe were “a tiny minority”, and that the “number one priority” was to get rid of the terrorist group.
Mr Trump then retorted: “This is why he is a great politician because that was one of the greater non-answers I have ever heard, and that’s OK”.
Mr Trump also criticised Nato countries who were paying less than the Nato guidelines of at least 2% of GDP towards the alliance.
He said he did not want countries to be “delinquent” and pay less than their share, adding: “Maybe I’ll deal with them from a trade standpoint.”
Mr Macron said France – which currently spends 1.84% of its GDP on defence – would reach the minimum, and acknowledged that the US had “overinvested” in Nato for several decades.
However, he added that there were other pressing issues to discuss.
“When I look at Turkey, they now are fighting against those who fought with us shoulder to shoulder against [IS]… if we just have discussions about what we pay and we don’t have clear discussions about such a situation, we are not serious.”
The two leaders also discussed Turkey’s decision to buy a Russian S-400 missile system.
Mr Trump said they were “looking at” whether to impose sanctions, while Mr Macron asked: “How is it possible to be a member of the alliance… and buy things from Russia?”
Why is Turkey an issue?
The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have been key allies of the US-led coalition against IS in Syria. However, Turkey views a section of the group – the YPG – as terrorists.
Ahead of his departure for London, Mr Erdogan said Turkey would not approve a plan to defend Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia in the event of a Russian attack unless Nato recognised the Kurdish YPG militia as terrorists.
“If our friends at Nato don’t recognise as terrorist organisations those we consider terrorist organisations… we will stand against any step that will be taken there,” he said about the plan.
However, Mr Macron told reporters: “We don’t have the same definition of terrorism around the [Nato] table”.
In October, Turkey launched an operation in Kurdish-controlled areas of northern Syria to create a “security zone” along its border.
That military action deepened fractures between Turkey and other Nato members, and took place after President Trump had controversially pulled US forces out of the region.

“I’m not sure we’re making any progress that’s significant,” said Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), adding that, after hours of amendment votes, “it would be nice to call it.”
Other than the blow to the insulin proposal, the $700 billion-plus party-line legislation remained largely unscathed during the Senate’s infamous “vote-a-rama,” the amendment marathon that allows any senator to force a vote on proposed tweaks to the measure. Senate Democrats banded together to fend off more than 20 attempts to change the bill, often voting as a bloc even on portions they support.
Seven Republican senators backed keeping the insulin cap for private markets: Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi, John Kennedy of Louisiana, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Dan Sullivan of Alaska. The provision needed 60 votes to remain in the bill.
The unlimited amendment series is the final episode of a lengthy drama that began more than a year ago with a Democratic budget designed to set the stage for a $3.5 trillion social spending package that could sidestep a filibuster. That vision whittled down over the course of many months to the bill that the Senate is still set to pass later Sunday — though it’s still far larger than the health care-only package Democrats thought they’d get from Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) just two weeks ago.
Democrats ultimately preserved the core pieces of their proposal, surviving Republican arguments that parts of the bill did not meet Senate rules that would allow the package to pass under a simple majority vote. The legislation still includes lowering some prescription drug prices, providing more than $300 billion into climate change and clean energy and imposing a 15 percent minimum tax on large corporations, plus a new 1 percent excise tax on stock buybacks. The bill also increases IRS enforcement and extends Obamacare subsidies through the 2024 election.
The final bill was carefully negotiated to be able to win support from all 50 members of the Senate Democratic caucus. And for most Democrats, that means no more changes — even changes they support.
One awkward example: Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) argued against an attempt by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) to change child tax credit and corporate tax language in the bill, which they actually back, with Brown saying it would “bring down the bill” if they approved it. Sanders was unbowed — even as he lost, 1-97.
“They’re great amendments. I’m very happy and I think it says something that every Democrat and Republican voted against them. It says I’m doing something right,” Sanders said around 8 a.m. on Sunday. “I’m fighting for you. I think that should be the message — not to come up with a convoluted reason you can’t vote for it.”
Sanders said he would support the bill on final passage. His vow to back the bill in the end, combined with near-complete unity among Democrats in defeating amendments, steered the legislation to passage under rules that allow them to avoid a filibuster. The House plans to consider the legislation on Friday.
Manchin surprised his colleagues late last month when he reached a deal with Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on tax and climate provisions as part of the agreement. Then Schumer made a handful of major changes to appease Sinema, eliminating language that would have tightened a loophole allowing certain investors to pay less in taxes and would have raised $14 billion in revenue.
Democrats agreed to add a 1 percent excise tax on stock buybacks, which is expected to raise $73 billion, while tweaking the corporate minimum tax to appease anxious manufacturers. The bill once contained $300 billion in deficit reduction, though the Congressional Budget Office has not yet provided a full score of the revised bill’s provisions.
During the vote-a-rama, Democrats offered alternative amendments to buy some cover for their own vulnerable members on several GOP proposals. That included a side-by-side debate on Title 42, a polarizing Trump-era policy that placed limits on migration during the pandemic.
Sanders tried to insert provisions that would bolster prescription drug reforms, expand Medicare and create a Civilian Climate Corps, but he failed to attract support from the vast majority of his colleagues. Only Georgia Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff joined Sanders in his effort to expand Medicare; Warnock’s own attempt to allow the bill to expand Medicaid to states that have blocked Obamacare’s more generous Medicaid language also failed, 5-94.
On Saturday, the party-line proposal survived Senate vetting of the Medicare portions of its prescription drug reform plan, while Democrats lost ground on a separate pillar that penalizes drug companies for raising prices on individuals with private health insurance. The legislation’s tax, clean energy and environmental provisions also advanced unscathed.

López grabó un video que se difundió el martes 1 de agosto, cuando fue nuevamente trasladado a la prisión de Ramo Verde.
El líder opositor venezolano Leopoldo López volvió este sábado al arresto domiciliario luego de haber sido detenido y llevado a la cárcel militar de Ramo Verde el pasado martes, informó su esposa, Lilian Tintori.
“Acaban de trasladar a Leopoldo a la casa. ¡Seguimos con más convicción y firmeza para lograr la Paz y la libertad de Venezuela!”, escribió Tintori en Twitter.
Hace cuatro días, López había sido detenido en su residencia en Caracas y trasladado de vuelta a prisión, menos de un mes después de haber obtenido el arresto domiciliario.
En la misma madrugada, agentes del Servicio Bolivariano de Inteligencia (Sebin) del país arrestaron también al excalde opositor Antonio Ledezma y lo devolvieron a prisión.
Ledezma fue excarcelado y trasladado nuevamente a su vivienda el viernes, según lo informó su esposa, Mitzy Capriles.
El regreso a la casa por cárcel para López coincidió con la primera sesión de la controvertida Asamblea Nacional Constituyente, cuya primera acción fue destituir a la fiscal general, Luisa Ortega Díaz, quien se ha vuelto una voz disidente dentro del gobierno.
El momento en que se llevan de sus casas a Leopoldo López y Antonio Ledezma
Razones
Horas después del arresto de ambos el martes, el Tribunal Supremo de Justicia (TSJ) señaló que las medidas acordadas en favor de López y Ledezma se revocaron “una vez verificado el incumplimiento de las condiciones impuestas”.
“Asimismo, se recibieron por fuentes de inteligencia oficial, información que daban cuenta de un plan de fuga de dichos ciudadanos“, añadió la máxima corte en un comunicado.
También destacó que en el caso de López las condiciones “no le permitían realizar ningún tipo de proselitismo político”, mientras que Ledezma tenía “la obligación de abstenerse de emitir declaraciones ante cualquier medio”.

El exalcalde opositor Antonio Ledezma también fue devuelto al arresto domiciliario esta semana.
Tras la detención de López, su esposa difundió un video que el político había grabado en caso de que volvieran a encarcelarlo.
“Si usted en este momento está viendo este video es porque eso fue lo que ocurrió, porque vinieron y me volvieron a meter preso ilegal e injustamente”, dijo López en su mensaje, publicado dos días después de la celebración el 30 de julio de las elecciones de la polémica Asamblea Nacional Constituyente (ACN) impulsada por el gobierno de Maduro.
López, de 46 años, se entregó a las autoridades en febrero de 2014 durante una protesta pacífica en la que iba rodeado por miles de sus seguidores que llevaban claveles blancos en las manos.
Después de permanecer detenido durante 19 meses, una jueza lo condenó a más de 13 años de prisión por los delitos de instigación pública, daños a la propiedad, incendio intencional y asociación para delinquir.

Leopoldo López volvió a su residencia bajo arresto domiciliario el 8 de julio, aunque luego fue encarcelado nuevamente por cuatro días.
El TSJ reafirmó en febrero la sentencia, pero le otorgó el beneficio del arresto domiciliario debido a problemas de salud como una “medida humanitaria”.
El regreso de López a su residencia ocurre en medio de una grave crisis política con más de cuatro meses de protestas que han dejado casi 120 muertos.
A eso se suma la crisis económica de un país con la inflación más alta del mundo y escasez de alimentos, medicinas y productos básicos debido, entre otras cosas, a la caída del precio y de la producción de petróleo, casi única fuente de divisas para el Estado.

El grupo yihadista Estado Islámico (EI) asumió la autoría del atentado de este sábado en Londres, en el que murieron siete personas, a través de su agencia de información Amaq y aseguró que fue por venganza.
En un breve comunicado difundido en Telegram y cuya veracidad no ha podido ser comprobada, la agencia de la organización terrorista apuntó que “una fuente de seguridad dijo a Amaq que un destacamento de combatientes del Estado Islámico llevó a cabo los ataques de Londres de ayer”.
Supuestas motivaciones. Junto a la nota de la agencia, la misma página empleada por el grupo, distribuyó un montaje fotográfico en el que aparece el puente de Londres y un hombre con un cuchillo ensangrentado y sobre el que se puede leer en inglés, francés y árabe: “Venganza. No hay compromisos… en la seguridad de los musulmanes”.
En septiembre de 2014, el entonces portavoz del EI Mohamed al Adnani llamó a sus seguidores a matar a los civiles de los países que participan en la coalición internacional que combaten al grupo terrorista en Irak y Siria.
Investigación. El ataque de la capital británica, que comenzó la noche del sábado a las 21.00 GMT dejó también 48 heridos, 21 de los cuales se encuentran en “estado crítico”.
Una furgoneta atropelló deliberadamente a viandantes en el puente de Londres para dirigirse después hacia el cercano mercado de Borough, donde tres hombres con cuchillos apuñalaron indiscriminadamente a los viandantes. Los tres terroristas que perpetraron el ataque fueron abatidos por agentes de la Policía. (EFE)
