Sebastian Vettel explicó que no vio lo sucedido detrás de él y piensa que el campeonato aún es posible tras el abandono en el Gran Premio de Singapur.

El Gran Premio de Singapur apenas duró unos cientos de metros para el alemán Sebastian Vettel. El ganador de la pole position se retiró de la competencia como resultado del accidente entre Kimi Räikkönen y Max Verstappen que después afectó con un contacto al teutón.

En la salida, Vettel defendió su posición y se movió unos centímetros por dentro, dejando a Verstappen en medio de los dos Ferraris. Ante esta situación, Räikkönen y el holandés tocaron para después llevar a una reacción en cadena con un choque sobre el monoplaza del alemán y, posteriormente, contra el McLaren de Fernando Alonso.

“No hay mucho que decir. Tuve un buen arranque y cuando vi que Max atacó traté de cerrar”, dijo el alemán al llegar a la zona de medios. “Verstappen empezó un poco mejor que yo, pero logré recuperarme”.

El alemán no pudo proporcionar una dinámica del accidente desde su perspectiva. “No lo sé. No vi mucho. Primero vi a Max y luego vi a Kimi golpeando a mi lado y a Max en otro lado…No sé qué pasó entre el uno y el otro”.

“Yo me tuve que retirar después de la tercera curva pero ya había muchos daños en el coche. El intercooler estaba roto. Perdimos mucha presión y no tenía sentido continuar la carrera”. 

Vettel, quien llegó como líder del campeonato a esta competencia, consideró que “así es este negocio y seguiremos adelante”, esto con referencia a la nula cantidad de puntos que recibirá tras la carrera en Marina Bay.

“No es lo ideal…El enfoque no cambia mucho. Obviamente no estamos en la carrera y es una lástima. No pudimos mostrar el ritmo que tenemos, pero estoy seguro de que habrá más oportunidades”.

“Por desgracia estas cosas suceden y por ahora no pienso en el campeonato”.

Donald Trump has appeared to drop his strongest hint yet at another presidential run in 2024, responding to news of his two-year ban from Facebook on Friday by saying he would not invite Mark Zuckerberg to dinner “next time I’m in the White House”.

It has also been widely reported this week that Trump believes he will be reinstated in the presidency by August.

He will not. But in his statement on Friday he did not say if he thought he would return to the White House because he would be reinstated or because he would run for the Republican nomination again and then defeat Joe Biden or another Democrat.

Trump’s statement read: “Next time I’m in the White House there will be no more dinners, at his request, with Mark Zuckerberg and his wife. It will be all business!”

Trump has a history of using public statements to troll his opponents and a long record of lies and exaggerations and promoting baseless conspiracy theories. At the same time Trump has maintained a strong grip on the Republican party and there is intense speculation about whether or not he would run for the presidency again.

Nick Clegg, the former British deputy prime minister who is now Facebook’s vice-president of global affairs, announced the social media website’s ban on Trump until 2023.

It follows the recommendation of Facebook’s oversight board. Trump has been suspended from the social media site since January, when he incited supporters to attack the US Capitol in service of his lie that his defeat by Joe Biden was the result of electoral fraud.

In a first statement on the suspension, Trump said it was an “insult” to those who voted for him in “the rigged presidential election” and said: “They shouldn’t be allowed to get away with this censoring and silencing.”

Amid striking polling about support for his lies among Republican voters, Trump still dominates polls of possible contenders for the party’s nomination in 2024.

Trump appears to be convincing himself the election was stolen and that some mechanism exists by which he might be reinstated, a belief apparently stoked by Mike Lindell, the chief executive of MyPillow and a hardline Trump supporter.

According to CNN, which confirmed reporting by Maggie Haberman of the New York Times and by the conservative National Review, Trump has asked advisers: “What do you think of this theory?”

A source also told CNN: “People have told him that it’s not true.”

October 4 at 12:46 PM

President Trump said Friday that Democrats “unfortunately have the votes” to impeach him in the House but predicted he would “win” in a trial in the Republican-led Senate.

“The Republicans are very unified,” Trump said, as he again insisted he had said nothing inappropriate during the July call in which he pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

Trump’s comments to reporters at the White House came as fallout continued Friday from the late-night release of text messages by House investigators, while another key figure, the inspector general of the intelligence community, testified on Capitol Hill behind closed doors.

The texts released late Thursday show how State Department officials coordinated with Zelensky’s top aide and Trump’s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani to leverage a potential summit between Trump and Zelensky on a promise from the Ukrainians to investigate an energy company, Burisma, that had employed Hunter Biden.

Early Friday, Ukraine’s chief prosecutor also said he would conduct an “audit” of an investigation related to Burisma.

12:20 p.m.: Romney criticizes Trump’s ‘brazen and unprecedented’ appeals to Ukraine, China

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Friday condemned Trump’s efforts to get Ukraine and China to investigate the Bidens as “wrong and appalling,” breaking ranks with most Republicans on Capitol Hill who have largely avoided criticizing the president.

In a pair of tweets, Romney referenced that fact that Biden is running for president.

“When the only American citizen President Trump singles out for China’s investigation is his political opponent in the midst of the Democratic nomination process, it strains credulity to suggest that it is anything other than politically motivated,” Romney said in one tweet.

“By all appearances, the President’s brazen and unprecedented appeal to China and to Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden is wrong and appalling,” he added in another.

12:05 p.m.: E.U. Ambassador Gordon Sondland gave $1 million to Trump inaugural committee through LLCs

Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union who’s become a key figure in the Ukraine controversy, has been a longtime donor to the Republican Party, previously supporting the presidential campaigns of George W. Bush and Mitt Romney.

In the 2016 campaign, he supported Jeb Bush’s campaign and the super PAC supporting Jeb Bush.

When Trump became the party’s presumptive nominee, Sondland signed on to the joint finance operation between the campaign and the party as a major fundraiser, or a “bundler” who collects big checks on behalf of the nominee.

Sondland was announced as the Oregon and Washington state co-chair of Trump Victory in July 2016. He was listed as a co-host of an August 2016 fundraiser in Seattle in his capacity as Trump Victory co-chair, according to an invitation. Tickets for that fundraisers cost as high as $100,000 per couple.

But once media outlets reported plans of that fundraiser, Sondland and another Portland hotelier, Bashar Wali, said their names were added without their approval and declined to participate as co-hosts, the Willamette Week reported at the time. The two men said through a Provenance Hotels spokeswoman that they refused to participate due to Trump’s anti-immigrant stance.

Sondland eventually donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee through four limited-liability companies, state and federal records show. Buena Vista Investments LLC and BV-2 LLC gave $350,000 each, and Dunson Cornerstone Inc. and Dunson Investments LLC gave $150,000 each, inaugural committee records show.

All four companies are registered in Washington, under Sondland’s name. Sondland was among at least 47 people or corporations who gave $1 million or more to the Trump inaugural committee, which drew $107 million. Sondland’s donations were first reported in 2017 by the Intercept, the Center for Responsive Politics and other outlets.

12 p.m.: Cornyn tweets that Justice is investigating Biden ‘conflicts of interest’

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) tweeted Friday morning that the Justice Department is “investigating foreign government influence, VP Biden conflicts of interest, and possible corruption.”

A spokesman for Cornyn clarified that the senator was referring to the ongoing investigation being conducted by U.S. Attorney John Durham into various activities surrounding the FBI’s Russia probe, but he declined to say whether he had been informed if that investigation included an examination of Biden.

A spokeswoman for the Justice Department did not immediately respond to messages, and an FBI spokeswoman declined to comment.

When asked by a reporter later Friday morning if the Justice Department was looking into Biden, Trump said, “Well, that you’d have to ask Attorney General Barr, but I can tell you just as an observer that what I saw Biden do with his son, he’s pillaging these countries, and he’s hurting us.”

The Biden family’s Ukraine dealings would seem far afield of what has been publicly revealed about Durham’s work. When it was first announced that Barr had tapped Durham to conduct the review, a person familiar with the matter said the prosecutor was seeking to determine if the U.S. government’s “intelligence collection activities” related to the Trump campaign were “lawful and appropriate.”

A Justice Department spokeswoman said more recently that Durham was “exploring the extent to which a number of countries, including Ukraine, played a role in the counterintelligence investigation directed at the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.”

“While the Attorney General has yet to contact Ukraine in connection with this investigation, certain Ukrainians who are not members of the government have volunteered information to Mr. Durham, which he is evaluating,” the spokeswoman said.

11:45 a.m.: Trump won’t say whether he’s asked countries to investigate any nonpolitical opponents

Speaking to reporters at the White House on Friday, Trump said he didn’t know if he had ever asked a foreign leader to investigate a person who wasn’t his political opponent, though he said he had a right to do so.

“You know, we would have to look,” Trump said. “But what I looked for and will always ask for is anything having to do with corruption.”

Reporters asked him several times if that included enlisting Russian President Vladimir Putin’s help, but Trump ignored the question.

“I’ll tell you what’s okay,” he continued. “If we feel there is corruption, we have a right to go to a foreign country.”

11:30 a.m.: Trump says Democrats have votes to impeach him in House

Trump told reporters Friday that it appears House Democrats have the votes to impeach him but predicted that he would be acquitted in a trial in the Republican-led Senate.

“The Democrats unfortunately, they have the votes,” Trump said as he prepared to leave the White House. “They can vote very easily, even though most of them, many of them, don’t believe they should do it.”

“If they proceed, they’ll just get their people, they’re all in line, even though many of them don’t want to vote, they have no choice,” Trump added. “They have to follow their leadership. And then we’ll get it to the Senate, and we’re going to win. The Republicans have been very unified.”

Trump said Democrats would “pay a tremendous price at the polls” for impeaching him.

He continued to insist that he had done nothing inappropriate during his July call in which he pressed Zelensky to investigate the Bidens.

“When I speak to a foreign leader, I speak in an appropriate manner,” Trump said.

10:30 a.m.: Trump shares purported employer of whistleblower in a tweet

In the midst of several midmorning tweets, Trump identified the purported employer of the whistleblower as the CIA.

In the tweet, Trump quoted longtime Republican operative Ed Rollins from an appearance on Fox News.

“I think it’s outrages that a Whistleblower is a CIA Agent,” Trump quoted Rollins as saying, misspelling “outrageous.”

Federal laws offer only limited protection for those in the intelligence community who report wrongdoing — even when they follow all the rules for doing so.

“If he wants to destroy this person’s life, there’s not a lot to stop him right now,” whistleblower attorney Bradley P. Moss told The Washington Post last week.

Both The Post and the New York Times have published stories identifying the whistleblower as a CIA officer, drawing objections from the whistleblower’s lawyers, who say he is entitled to anonymity under the law.

10 a.m.: Trump camp to air anti-Biden ads in key early primary states

Beginning this weekend, the Trump campaign is airing more than $1 million worth of TV ads in early primary states that accuse Joe Biden and his son Hunter of corruption in Ukraine, according to Brad Parscale, Trump’s campaign manager.

The commercials will air in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, Parscale tweeted.

The anti-Biden ads are part of a larger $8 million ad buy focused on impeachment, which the Trump camp is trying to spin to its advantage.

CNN said Thursday it would not run the ad because the allegations of corruption against the Bidens highlighted in the ad are unsubstantiated.

9:50 a.m.: Intelligence community inspector general meeting with Congress about whistleblower complaint

Michael Atkinson, the inspector general of the intelligence community, will appear before the House Intelligence Committee on Friday to discuss the complaint from a whistleblower that touched off the impeachment probe against Trump.

He arrived on Capitol Hill shortly before 10 a.m. for a scheduled 10:30 a.m. hearing.

The hearing is necessary “to establish additional details, leads and evidence” in the probe, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) wrote in a letter to colleagues last week. The hearing will not be public.

“We have to flesh out all of the facts for the American people. The seriousness of the matter and the danger to our country demands nothing less,” Schiff wrote.

Atkinson alerted Schiff and other congressional committee leaders to the whistleblower’s complaint last month, but at the time, acting director of national intelligence Joseph Maguire would not allow Atkinson to share the full complaint with the committees.

9 a.m.: House Republicans object to White House subpoena

Republicans on the House Oversight Committee on Friday made public a letter to Chairman Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.) in which they objected to his threatened subpoena of White House records related to Trump’s call with Zelensky.

“You decided to issue this subpoena without consulting Republicans and without allowing Members to debate the terms of the subpoena,” the Republicans wrote in the letter, dated Thursday. “Your memorandum cherry-picks and misstates information to propagate a misleading narrative about the President’s actions. We object strongly to the issuance of this subpoena and your stated reasons for issuing it.”

Cummings said earlier this week he would issue a subpoena if the White House didn’t reply with document requests by Friday.

8:50 a.m.: Trump seizes on unemployment rate in arguing against impeachment

Trump seized the release of new unemployment numbers Friday morning to argue against his impeachment.

“Breaking News: Unemployment Rate, at 3.5%, drops to a 50 YEAR LOW,” he tweeted. “Wow America, lets impeach your President (even though he did nothing wrong!).”

Trump made no mention that the same report showed the economy adding a modest 136,000 jobs in September, in what is likely to be interpreted as further evidence that the country is headed for a slowdown.

8:25 a.m.: Schiff says Republicans must decide if Trump has ‘absolute right’ he claims

In a morning tweet, Schiff responded to Trump’s late-night assertion that he has an “absolute right” to enlist foreign countries in corruption investigations.

Trump’s contention, in a tweet, came at the end of a day in which he publicly urged both Ukraine and China to investigate the business dealings of Hunter Biden.

“It comes down to this,” Schiff tweeted. “We’ve cut through the denials. The deflections. The nonsense. Donald Trump believes he can pressure a foreign nation to help him politically. It’s his ‘right.’ Every Republican in Congress has to decide: Is he right?”

Minutes after Schiff’s tweet, Trump doubled down on his assertion.

“As President I have an obligation to end CORRUPTION, even if that means requesting the help of a foreign country or countries,” he tweeted. “It is done all the time. This has NOTHING to do with politics or a political campaign against the Bidens. This does have to do with their corruption!”

6:45 a.m.: Ukraine’s new chief prosecutor to ‘audit’ Biden case

KIEV, Ukraine — Ukraine’s new chief prosecutor said Friday his office will conduct an “audit” of an investigation into Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company that had recruited Hunter Biden for its board.

A criminal probe of the company was closed in 2016, and Trump has alleged it was because of pressure by Hunter Biden’s father, Joe Biden, who was then vice president. Trump has insisted that Ukraine open a new investigation.

Ukrainian officials said previously that the probe was focused on the years 2010 to 2012, before the younger Biden joined the board. They also have said that there is no evidence of any wrongdoing on his part.

Prosecutor General Ruslan Ryaboshapka told a news conference that he is aware of at least 15 investigations that may have touched on Burisma, its owner Nikolai Zlochevsky, an associate named Serhiy Zerchenko, and Biden, and that all will be reviewed. He said no foreign or Ukrainian official has been in touch with him to request this audit.

6:30 a.m.: Trump wanted Ukraine’s president to launch investigations before face-to-face meeting, texts show

House investigators released numerous text messages late Thursday night illustrating how senior State Department officials coordinated with the Ukrainian president’s top aide and Trump’s personal lawyer to leverage a potential summit between the heads of state on a promise from the Ukrainians to investigate the 2016 U.S. election and an energy company that employed Biden’s son.

The texts, which former special U.S. envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker provided investigators during a nearly 10-hour deposition Thursday, reveal that officials felt Trump would not agree to meet with Zelensky unless Zelensky promised to launch the investigations — and did so publicly.

Although the texts do not mention Biden by name, congressional Democrats leading an impeachment inquiry are pointing to them as clear evidence that Trump conditioned normal bilateral relations with Ukraine on that country first agreeing “to launch politically motivated investigations,” top Democrats said in a statement Thursday night.

“heard from White House — assuming President Z convinces trump he will investigate / ‘get to the bottom of what happened’ in 2016, we will nail down date for visit to Washington,” Volker texted Zelensky’s aide, Andrey Yermak, on July 25, hours before Trump and the Ukrainian president spoke via phone.

6 a.m.: Trump asserts ‘absolute right’ to investigate corruption

Trump on Thursday night asserted an “absolute right” to investigate corruption, which he said includes reaching out to foreign countries for assistance, and suggested that he might sue House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif).

He comments on Twitter came hours after he told reporters that he would like to see investigations of the Bidens not only by Ukraine but also China, prompting an uproar from congressional Democrats.

“As the President of the United States, I have an absolute right, perhaps even a duty, to investigate, or have investigated, CORRUPTION, and that would include asking, or suggesting, other Countries to help us out!” Trump wrote on Twitter.

Later, he took aim at Pelosi for standing by Schiff’s comments in a hearing last week.

Trump has called for Schiff to resign for remarks in which he embellished Trump’s phone call with Zelensky. Schiff later said his remarks were intended as a parody and that Trump should have recognized that.

Pelosi defended Schiff during an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that aired Thursday morning on “Good Morning America,” saying his remarks were “fair.”

“Nancy Pelosi today, on @GMA, actually said that Adam Schiffty Schiff didn’t fabricate my words in a major speech before Congress,” Trump said in his tweet. “She either had no idea what she was saying, in other words lost it, or she lied. Even Clinton lover @GStephanopoulos strongly called her out. Sue her?”

5 a.m.: Members of Congress getting pressed on developments back home

With Congress in recess, House and Senate members are getting pressed on developments in the Ukraine controversy while back home.

Here is a video of Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) responding to a constituent Thursday night at a town hall in Templeton, Iowa, who asked a pointed question about the president: “When are you guys going to say, ‘Enough?’”

5 a.m.: CNN declines to run Trump campaign ads

CNN said Thursday that it will not run two Trump campaign ads because they disparage the network’s journalists and make “demonstrably false” claims while discussing impeachment and pushing unsubstantiated allegations of corruption against Biden.

The network’s decisions come as the Trump administration escalates its attacks on congressional Democrats’ impeachment efforts and continues to lash out at media organizations it tries to discredit as “fake news.”

CNN’s move brought renewed ire from Trump’s reelection campaign, as Communications Director Tim Murtaugh called the news network a “Democrat public relations firm” that “spends all day protecting Joe Biden.”

El río Táchira es testigo del éxodo de los colombianos que vivían en el lado venezolano de la frontera entre los dos países.

Cargados con camas, armarios, sillas, animales, colchones –con todo lo que había en sus casas, o al menos todo lo que pudieron llevarse– cientos de colombianos cruzan el río Táchira desde Venezuela para llegar a la ciudad colombiana de Cúcuta.

Están abandonando voluntariamente sus hogares. Pero ya superan en número al total de deportados por Venezuela desde que el presidente Nicolás Maduro ordenara el cierre de la frontera el jueves pasado, para luego imponer el estado de excepción en seis municipios de la zona limítrofe.

Según las autoridades migratorias colombianas, los deportados y repatriados oficialmente por Venezuela desde el jueves pasado ya suman 1.088, según datos que se dieron a conocer el martes en la tarde.

Pero el coronel Jaime Barrera Hoyos, comandante de la Policía Metropolitana de Cúcuta, estima en “400 familias; más de 1.600 personas” el número de aquellas que a lo largo del día han estado cruzando el río fronterizo.

Image caption

Con el puente Simón Bolívar cerrado, muchos cruzan el río a pie con sus pertenencias al hombro.

Image caption

Los que se van de Venezuela intentan llevarse todo lo que pueden.

Y el alcalde de la ciudad, Donamaris Ramírez-Paris Lobo, quien también está ahí, le dice a BBC Mundo que cree que son al menos unas 2.000.

Lea también: ¿Qué pasa en la frontera entre Venezuela y Colombia?

“Crucé por miedo”

“Estas personas salen (voluntariamente) para que no los registren, porque tienen la esperanza de volver algún día a Venezuela“, dice el alcalde.

Pero no todos parecen tener ese plan.

“Yo crucé por miedo, pues están atropellando a la gente”, le explica a BBC Mundo Elena Celis.

Image caption

Una pausa en el camino, luego de haber cruzado el río que sirve de frontera.

Image caption

Elena Celis dice que no tiene ganas de volver a Venezuela, a pesar de que sus padres se quedaron allá.

Con una gaseosa en la mano, entregada por voluntarios, la mujer se encamina a la zona del río donde su familia está acumulando sus pertenencias, a sólo unos metros del cauce.

“No me quedan ganas de volver a ese país”, dice del que fue su hogar durante varios años.

Aunque del otro lado de la frontera quedaron sus padres, que son venezolanos.

Es fuerte el impacto para los habitantes de frontera, acostumbrados a una identidad híbrida y a circular con libertad.

Como ejemplo, la definición de la propia Elena Celis: “Soy colombiana, criada en Venezuela”.

Albergues superados

A lo largo de los cientos de metros de fila de gente cargando enseres desde el río hasta las afueras de Cúcuta, hay gente colaborando: vecinos de Cúcuta y efectivos de la policía, que ayudan a cargar trastos.

La policía también puso a disposición unos 20 camiones para cargar pertenencias desde el punto en que la trocha se hace transitable hacia lugares más seguros que la ribera del río Táchira.

Image caption

La policía colombiana envió camiones para ayudar con el traslado.

Image caption

Llega la noche y el éxodo no se detiene.

Muchos de quienes cruzaron tienen familia o amigos del lado colombiano y pueden instalarse con ellos. Pero muchos otros no.

Roger Nadin Cardona, de 60 años, llegó con sus hijos y sus nietos: en total siete personas.

La guardia nacional “nos dijo que teníamos que desocupar el barrio”, le cuenta a BBC Mundo, sentado sobre parte de sus pertenencias, acomodadas a su alrededor.

Cae la noche y Cardona piensa que les tocará pasarla allí.

“No tenemos para donde irnos todavía”, dice.

Justo enfrente, otra familia arma una tienda improvisada, debajo de la cual coloca los colchones que trajeron de su casa en Venezuela.

Image caption

Muchos de los que llegan no saben donde pasarán la noche.

Image caption

Los albergues dispuestos en Cúcuta no dan abasto.

El gran número de gente que está llegando a Cúcuta ha hecho que colapsen parte de los cinco albergues destinados para atenderlos y darles cobijo.

Uno de ellos está en el Polideportivo las Margaritas, muy cerca del puente que une Colombia y Venezuela: el Simón Bolívar.

Cuando BBC Mundo llega allí, una mujer en la puerta grita que no, que ya no hay lugar, que están llenos.

Image caption

Algunos albergues solamente reciben a mujeres y niños.

El albergue es sólo para mujeres y niños. No saben a ciencia cierta cuánta gente hay en ese momento, pero informan que unas 300 personas pasaron allí la noche del domingo.

Tras terminar de comer unas arepas y unas sopas repartidas por los voluntarios, Nelvis Navarro le cuenta a BBC Mundo que también había pasado sus enseres por el río.

Tras ocho años y medio en Venezuela, donde tenía un ranchito y trabajaba en el cafetín de una iglesia, se encontró con la sorpresa de tener que partir.

“Después de un año, dos años, uno ya piensa que de donde está ya no lo van a sacar”, dice.

Sin embargo, a su barrio llegó la semana pasada un operativo de las fuerzas de seguridad.

“Cuando nos dimos cuenta estábamos rodeados de guardia especial, tanquetas“, cuenta.

A ella la trataron bien. Y aunque primero pensó que la deportarían, luego la dejaron quedarse.

“El guardia me dijo que era colombiana y que tenía que salir, pero la gloria de Dios está en todos lados y me dejó”, explica.

“Montaron a todos los demás y yo me quedé”, le cuenta a BBC Mundo.

El lunes, sin embargo, decidió cruzar a Colombia. Ya no le ve futuro a su vida en Venezuela.

“Ya están demoliendo los ranchitos (barrio pobre), ¿y qué nos quedamos haciendo allá?”, dice.

Y eso parecen preguntarse muchos de los que están cruzando el río.

Image caption

La frontera sigue cerrada. Muchos no saben si podrán volver al país que les sirvió de hogar durante años.

Major cities on the West Coast were among those seeing riots and protests Saturday night as demonstrators marked the one-year anniversary of Breonna Taylor’s death in a police raid in Louisville, Kentucky.

Los Angeles, Seattle and Portland all saw clashes between crowds and police, with numerous arrests reported.

In Los Angeles, some demonstrators smashed store windows and threw rocks at police officers in Hollywood.

Social media videos showed police officers in riot gear near the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street near the Hollywood Walk of Fame. One social media video showed a protester jumping on a police cruiser as it sped away.

At least one officer was injured in the clashes, police said, according to an on-air report from KNBC-TV in Los Angeles. The officer’s condition was not reported.

It was unclear if any protesters were injured.

BREONNA TAYLOR ‘ARMED’ PROTESTERS PROMPT LOUISVILLE POLICE TO DECLARE ‘UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY’ 

Bed Bath and Beyond, a CVS pharmacy and an Asian restaurant were among the businesses vandalized by rioters, according to KNBC and social media videos.

Police did not immediately report if any protesters have been arrested. 

Earlier, hundreds of protesters had marched and celebrated Taylor’s life peacefully in Hollywood and other parts of the city.

Seattle

In Seattle, videos posted to social media early Sunday showed police moving aggressively against demonstrators.

In one video, police on bicycles are seen making arrests, while another video showed police in a van as they followed a group of marchers.

Earlier, a violent clash broke out as police used pepper spray while moving in against a crowd.

A downtown Starbucks shop was seen with smashed windows and spray-painted messages on the outside.

Police were also monitoring a group that they believed had been dragging construction signs and other items into the street in an apparent bid to block vehicles.

The Seattle Police Department tweets about 4 a.m. Saturday ET that they had made 13 arrests.

Portland

In Portland, a federal courthouse in the downtown area appeared to be the main staging area for another faceoff with authorities.

Just one night earlier, police had made 13 arrests and “kettled” about 100 demonstrators before allowing them to leave one by one, according to reports.

Last week’s protests outside the courthouse came soon after authorities removed a barrier that had been in place outside the building.

On Saturday night and into Sunday morning, new messages were seen spray-painted outside the courthouse, including, “Police are murderers.”

Taylor, who was Black, was killed on March 13, 2020, when a group of Louisville Metro Police Department officers entered her apartment on a no-knock raid.

Taylor’s boyfriend fired at the officers, thinking they were burglars, he later told police, and the officers fired back. Taylor was shot and killed by officers in the crossfire.

The officers later said they had announced their presence in the apartment. No drugs were found inside. 

Taylor’s family and their supporters have been seeking the prosecution of city police officers who participated in the raid that led to Taylor’s death. Three police officers have been fired and one detective was charged for allegedly shooting into adjacent apartments during the raid but none has been charged in connection with Taylor’s death.

Authorities in Kentucky stress that their investigation is continuing.

There were also protests and celebrations of her life in Louisville Saturday.

“Eyes are on Louisville, Kentucky, today so let’s show America what community looks like,” Taylor’s aunt, Bianca Austin, told a group in the city Saturday, KABC-TV in Los Angeles reported.

Sheriff Wayne Ivey of the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office gives tips on how to survive an active shooter situation. He uses the 4 As: awareness, avoidance, arm and attack. Video provided by Brevard County Sheriff’s Office.

This is a breaking news story and will be updated. This story is part of the Record Searchlight’s essential coverage and is being provided for free at this time. Please consider subscribing to the Record Searchlight to support our work.

Two are dead, including the suspect, and four are hurt after a shooting at the Red Bluff Walmart distribution center, the Tehama County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Saturday. The victim killed — an employee at the facility — has been identified as Martin Haro-Lozano, 45, of Orland. 

Allison Hendrickson, a spokeswoman for Dignity Health North State, said four patients were in fair condition at St. Elizabeth Community Hospital in Red Bluff and two had died. She wasn’t immediately sure whether there were other victims at another hospital. 

Little on the investigation has come out so far, but Tehama County Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston said deputies have determined the shooter circled the parking lot four times before crashing into the building and opening fire with a semiautomatic long gun.

At least one person was struck by the suspect’s car, Johnston said. He said the shooter was able to enter the facility, where he shot at random. Johnston couldn’t provide details on when and where during the attack people were injured.

The shooter’s multi-round magazine held more than 10 rounds, making it illegal in California, Johnston said.

There also was a fire at the location, and the suspect appears to have rammed a vehicle into the building, officials said. Johnston could not say whether the fire started from the crash or if it was intentionally lit.

Johnston said later in the evening that the suspect and one victim, an employee, were dead. The suspect, a 31-year-old who still hasn’t been identified, also has a history with the workplace, Johnston said. He added that it has been about a year and a half since then. The motive still hasn’t been determined, he said. 

Red Bluff police engaged in gunfire with the suspect shortly after, and he underwent surgery for a gunshot wound, Johnston said.

“I would estimate 20 to 30 rounds exchanged,” he said, noting that there were so many bullets fired the investigators did not yet have an accurate count. 

Chief Kyle Sanders said the officers fired after the suspect first fired at them “multiple times.” The two officers who fired the shots are on paid administrative leave pending a routine investigation into the shooting of the suspect, Sanders said. 

Meanwhile, officials initially said they hadn’t figured out whether the shooting is related to one earlier in the day in Shingletown, but Johnston later said they were separate incidents. Shasta County Sheriff’s officials have not responded to multiple requests for information about the Shingletown incident, and California Highway Patrol spokespeople referred all questions about it to the sheriff.

Scott Thammakhanty, an employee at the facility’s receiving center who unloads trucks, said he heard the shooter fire from what he judged to be a semi-automatic weapon. 

“It went on and on — I don’t even know how many times he fired,” Thammakhanty said. “I just know it was a lot.”

Thammakhanty and others started running for their lives, and he saw people lying on the ground as he went, he said. 

The shooter looked familiar to Thammakhanty, but he didn’t know his identity. 

Vince Krick was waiting outside because his wife and son work at the facility. They weren’t hurt, but Krick was anxiously waiting to be reunited with them. 

“It was real crazy, because, you know, you can’t do nothing,” Krick said. 

Krick was on the way to pick up his wife when he saw the flames, he said. His wife texted that she was OK, but told him not to come to the front entrance.

The shooting happened right when a new group of workers starts their shift, he said. 

Krick’s wife, a manager, was able to get some employees out the back of the building, he said. 

Dispatchers reported at least one person had been shot, though the extent of injuries wasn’t immediately clear. A man had also reported his leg being run over when the shooter rammed a vehicle into the facility. 

A woman was reportedly bleeding after jumping over a barbed-wire fence to escape. 

“We need to get these people out of here,” a dispatcher said. 

Dispatchers said they needed all units to respond to the facility on Highway 99 south of Red Bluff. 

The suspect was described as being in a white vehicle that had wedged into the building and had what dispatchers believed was an assault-style weapon. The shooter was in the middle of the parking lot, dispatchers said. 

Deputies said a fire had broken out by the time the suspect was detained and they couldn’t get into the building because of the blaze. Johnston said it wasn’t clear whether the suspect started the fire on purpose or the crash caused it. 

The extent of any fatalities or injuries was not yet clear. 

In an email, Walmart director of national media relations Scott Pope said the company is “aware of the situation” and working with law enforcement to investigate. 

“We are deeply saddened by this tragic incident,” Pope wrote. “Our focus is on supporting our associates, as well as their families and co-workers in the facility. This is an active police investigation and we will continue to work with Tehama County Sheriff’s Office and assist in their investigation in any way possible.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders, one of the early front-runners in the 2020 Democratic presidential field, said Saturday that President Donald Trump’s handling of North Korea is one area where he doesn’t “fault” the current commander-in-chief.

Speaking to ABC News’ Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl in an exclusive interview for “This Week,” the Vermont senator said that Trump meeting face-to-face with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un “is the right thing to do.”

Senator Bernie Sanders speaks to a gathering of the Pennsylvania Association of Staff Nurses and Allied Professionals at Mohegan Sun Pocono in Plains Twp., Pa. on Monday, April 15, 2019.

Karl asked Sanders how he would respond as president to the apparent launch of unidentified short-range projectiles by North Korea into the Sea of Japan Friday night.

“You know, this is one area, actually, where I do not fault Trump. I think the idea of sitting down with Kim Jong Un is the right thing to do. It is very, very difficult, but clearly they are a threat to the planet,” Sanders said. “They are isolated. They’re demagogic, and we have just got to do everything we can to have China and the people in the Pacific Rim put as much pressure on North Korea and make it clear that they cannot continue to act this way.

“It is not an easy situation,” he added.

The 2020 hopeful said he believes the United States needs to “put all of the pressure that we can” on North Korea, both economically and politically.

In a tweet Saturday morning after the projectile launches, Trump still appeared optimistic about U.S.-North Korea relations.

“Anything in this very interesting world is possible,” the president tweeted. “But I believe that Kim Jong Un fully realizes the great economic potential of North Korea, & will do nothing to interfere or end it. He also knows that I am with him & does not want to break his promise to me. Deal will happen!”

Much more of Jonathan Karl’s interview with Sen. Bernie Sanders on the campaign trail in Des Moines, Iowa, will air on “This Week” Sunday morning. The two discuss Sanders’ “Medicare-for-all” plan, former Vice President Joe Biden jumping in the race, and how he would take on Trump in a booming economy.

El Ministerio Público de Venezuela (MP, Fiscalía) informó este miércoles la muerte del joven Miguel Castillo, de 27 años, en el sector Las Mercedes del este de Caracas, con lo que se eleva a 39 la cifra de fallecidos en escenarios de protestas que han sacudido al país caribeño en los últimos 40 días.

“#AHORA Murió joven Miguel Castillo (27) durante manifestación en Las Mercedes. Fiscalías 34° nacional y 126° del AMC (Área Metropolitana de Caracas) investigarán el hecho”, señaló el MP a través de Twitter.

Efectivos de las fuerzas de seguridad de Venezuela dispersaron hoy con gases lacrimógenos una manifestación con miles de opositores que se encontraban en la principal autopista de Caracas, y que pretendía llegar hasta la sede del Tribunal Supremo de Justicia (TSJ), en el centro de la capital.

Efe constató que mientras los efectivos de la Guardia Nacional Bolivariana (GNB) lanzaban los gases lacrimógenos y chorros de agua para dispersar la protesta, un grupo de manifestantes respondía con piedras, botes de pintura y tarros de excremento, conocidos como “puputov”.

En la manifestación, algunos diputados como Juan Requesens, Juan Andrés Mejía y el dos veces candidato a la presidencia de Venezuela, Henrique Capriles, difundieron vídeos a través de la redes sociales en los que mostraban lo que, afirmaron, era una “salvaje represión”.

Este miércoles, la Fiscalía de Venezuela informó en un comunicado el fallecimiento de Anderson Dugarte, un mototaxista de 32 años que resultó herido en la cabeza por un “arma de fuego” el pasado lunes en una manifestación en el estado de Mérida (oeste).

Dugarte falleció hoy en el Hospital Universitario de Los Andes, en la capital merideña.

Las manifestaciones en Venezuela, a favor y en contra del Gobierno del presidente Nicolás Maduro, también han dejado cientos de heridos y casi 2.000 detenidos.

The reported plan comes as the Trump administration has already begun releasing some migrants in large groups to Texas cities.

Trump previously threatened to release immigrants in so-called sanctuary cities, which prevent local law enforcement from working with federal immigration authorities.

Clamping down on illegal immigration has been a focus of Trump’s since he was on the 2016 campaign trail. His administration’s zero-tolerance policy and crackdown on immigrants without legal status have resulted in an increase in migrants being detained by border officials.

This week Trump unveiled his newest immigration proposal, which aims to create more “merit-based” policies.

House Democrats on Tuesday released the remaining witness transcripts from their impeachment inquiry into President TrumpDonald John TrumpTrump at rally vows to supporters no name change for ‘Thanksgiving’ Trump says he will designate Mexican drug cartels as terror organizations State Dept. official describes frantic effort to save recalled Ukraine ambassador MORE.

The three House committees that led the closed-door depositions released interviews with Philip Reeker, the acting assistant secretary of State in charge of European and Eurasian Affairs, and Mark Sandy, a senior Office of Management and Budget official. 

The document release comes as the House Intelligence Committee plans to work through the Thanksgiving holiday to compile a report for the House Judiciary Committee to use in determining whether to draft articles of impeachment against Trump over allegations that he pressed Ukraine’s president to interfere in the 2020 election by opening two investigations that would benefit Trump politically.

Democrats argued Tuesday that the testimonies of Reeker and Sandy support their claims that Trump surrounded himself with a team of political appointees to carry out their own U.S. policy toward Ukraine in which the president sought to use nearly $400 million in security aid and the possibility of a White House visit to get Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to open investigations into interference in the 2016 election and former Vice President Joe BidenJoe BidenSanders, Buttigieg surge in New Hampshire as Biden, Warren slip: poll State Dept. official describes frantic effort to save recalled Ukraine ambassador Trump denies sending Giuliani to Ukraine on his behalf MORE, one of Trump’s top 2020 rivals.

“The testimonies from Ambassador Reeker and Mr. Sandy continue to paint a portrait of hand-picked political appointees corrupting the official levers of U.S. government power, including by withholding taxpayer funded military assistance to Ukraine, to further the President’s own personal political agenda,” three Democratic House committee chairmen said in a statement Tuesday.

However, he was provided no other reason or justification for the hold when he was directed to implement it,” the Democrats said, noting that he “raised concerns” that a delay of aid may violate the law. 

The president has denied withholding aid to pressure Ukraine, arguing that he was seeking to root out corruption in Ukraine with his investigation requests.

El presidente de EE.UU., Donald Trump, ha sugerido al Comité de Inteligencia del Senado que investigue a los medios de comunicación estadounidenses por difundir noticias falsas. Dicho Comité busca evidencias de la presunta huella rusa en las elecciones estadounidenses del año pasado.

“¿Por qué el Comité de Inteligencia del Senado estadounidense no mira las Redes de Noticias Falsas en nuestro país para saber por qué tantas de nuestras noticias son un bulo [FAKE] inventado”, escribió Trump en su cuentos Twitter.

La reacción de Trump tiene que ver con el último escándalo mediático difundido por la cadena NBC, que esta semana dijo que el secretario de Estado, Rex Tillerson, había llamado a Trump “jodido imbécil” y estaba “a punto” de dimitir, algo que el propio Tillerson ha desmentido.

“Rex Tillerson nunca amenazó con dimitir. Es una Noticia Falsa de NBC”, escribió Trump en otro tuit en el que criticó “la baja calidad” del periodismo de la cadena.

Attorney General William Barr three times now has tread on the dangerous ground of asserting that the president can assess his own guilt or innocence and, by extension, of the culpability of underlings as well.

Barr’s claims are meretricious nonsense.

The first assertion came by implication, but not fully stated, in Barr’s April 18 press conference before he released the Mueller report on Russian malfeasance. The next two, from his May 1 testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, were quite explicit.

Barr’s prepared press conference remarks ascribed “non-corrupt motives” to President Trump’s consideration of impeding Mueller’s probe, on the theory that Trump “was frustrated and angered by a sincere belief that the investigation was undermining his presidency, propelled by his political opponents, and fueled by illegal leaks,” even though “there was in fact no collusion.”

Yet frustration and anger provide no legal excuse for impeding a lawful investigation, and Barr has acknowledged the investigation was lawful. So how does this provide Trump any excuse?

In his May 1 testimony, Barr was more specific on two separate occasions. “If the president is being falsely accused … and he knew [the accusations against him] were false, and he felt this investigation was unfair, propelled by his political opponents, and was hampering his ability to govern, that is not a corrupt motive for [exercising constitutional authority] for replacing an independent counsel.”

In later testimony, Barr said: “With the president, who has a constitutional authority to supervise proceedings, if in fact a proceeding … was based on false allegations, the president does not have to sit there constitutionally and allow it to run its course. The president could terminate that proceeding and it would not be corrupt intent because he was being falsely accused, and he would be worried about the impact on his administration.”

Richard Nixon surely thought the Watergate investigation was a witch hunt. Yet when he wanted to fire the special prosecutor conducting it, Attorney General Elliot Richardson and his deputy both resigned. Then Congress immediately began impeachment proceedings.

Barr is a different sort of attorney general. His assertions are wrongheaded and possibly dangerous on multiple levels. The first is on principle alone: No man, not even the president, should be allowed to adjudge his own case. Otherwise, he’s a tyrant. The very notion of such power runs counter to the entire basis of America’s constitutionally limited government and its history of fighting a revolution to jettison a king.

Second, to the extent Barr is making more limited claims that a president has constitutional power to fire a constitutionally inferior officer (rather than to stop an entire investigation), he ignores the reality that even the powers granted by the Constitution are limited in both law and custom. Furthermore, any “intent” to impede an otherwise lawfully operating investigation on the basis of one’s own supposed innocence is to violate the first principle above. To violate a constitutional-historical principle as important as that one is inherently corrupt.

Third, Barr’s statements produce an absurd logical consequence. In practice, even if Trump knew with God-like omniscience that he was personally guilty of no legal offense, and is thus justified in Barr’s mind to stop the investigation, he might also be killing an investigation into others — say, Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, George Papadopoulos, Roger Stone, and more than a dozen Russian spies or other alleged criminals who worked illegally to undermine a U.S. election. Is Barr maintaining that this is also acceptable?

Remember, the Mueller investigation was only ever secondarily about Trump (or even Trump’s aides and relatives). The first official instruction given to Mueller was to “ensure a full and thorough investigation of the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 election.” If Trump killed that proceeding even to keep it from “hampering his ability to govern,” he would be undermining the entire nation’s ability to protect itself from illegal Russian meddling.

In the end, there can be no innocent motive for, or innocent effect from, an attempt to halt a duly constituted investigation operating under proper constitutional safeguards. This is so even if a president’s political opponents are misusing the existence of the investigation for their own illegitimate purposes.

If William Barr really thinks otherwise, he should not be attorney general.

DENVER (AP) — Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone was shaken Tuesday by the

school shooting

that occurred in his neighborhood a few hours before his team’s playoff game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

“That’s a community I live in. I know thoughts and prayers are never enough, but … from myself, our team, our organization, our thoughts and prayers with all those families, students, school administrators, everybody that was there today,” Malone said in a

heartfelt pregame news conference

. “It’s a tragedy.”

Sheriff’s officials said an 18-year-old male student was killed and several students were wounded in the shooting at a STEM School Highlands Ranch, which is about 15 miles south of the Pepsi Center, where the Nuggets play.

Authorities have taken two students into custody after the shooting in the affluent community of Highlands Ranch near where two students shot and killed 13 people at Columbine High School 20 years ago.

Malone said Tuesday’s shooting happened minutes from his house in the Highlands Ranch community.

“It’s not just Highlands Ranch. It’s not just Colorado. This is an epidemic. It continues to happen,” Malone said. “That’s the frustrating thing. How do you stop it? Again, gun control, laws, whatever it might be — I’m not a politician; I don’t want to sit up here on a soap box. I just want everybody back in Highlands Ranch to know we’re with you. That’s really important for them to know.”

Malone said his wife contacted him Tuesday afternoon to tell him about the shooting. The couple has two daughters who attend school nearby.

“The thing that makes you angry is that she’s telling me how scared my daughters are in their schools, texting her,” Malone said. “They didn’t know what’s going on. They just saw lockout. Where is this shooter? Is it at our school? Some other school?

“When kids go to school, they should be going to school to learn, have fun, be with their friends, not be worried about an active shooter.”

Malone was leery of addressing the tragedy with his team before Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals, saying it’s a “conversation and a subject maybe on an off day.”
“These are scary times for everybody and you have to find a way to be mentally tough and get through it,” Malone said. “It’s just frustrating. It makes you angry. It hits home. That’s how I felt today.”

Weighing on him was how to address the shooting with his children.

“Great question,” Malone said. “I’m texting my daughter, telling her she’s going to be OK. I don’t even know if she will be OK. This is every parent’s worst nightmare. When you see your kids go to school in the morning, it’s, ‘Have a great day’ and (you) assume everything is going to be all right.”
