Puigdemont ofreció una entrevista al corresponsal de la BBC Tom Burridge.

El presidente de la Generalitat de Cataluña, Carles Puigdemont, dijo a la BBC este martes que declararán la independencia de España “en cuestión de días”.

En su primera entrevista desde el controvertido referéndum del domingo pasado, Puigdemont aseguró que su gobierno”actuará a finales de esta semana o comienzos de la próxima”.

“Vamos a declarar la independencia 48 horas después de que se hagan oficiales todos los resultados que se están escrutando. Probablemente esto va a acabar cuando haya los votos del exterior y por tanto nos movemos entre el fin de semana e inicios de la semana que viene”, señaló Puigdemont en una conversación con el corresponsal de la BBC Tom Burridge.

La máxima autoridad del gobierno catalán habló con la BBC momentos antes de que el rey Felipe VI hiciera una declaración institucional en la que acusó a las autoridades autonómicas catalanas de haber actuado con una “deslealtad inadmisible” hacia el Estado español.

Consultado acerca de qué haría si el gobierno de España, que preside Mariano Rajoy, interviene para tomar el control del gobierno catalán, afirmó que “sería un error que cambiaría todo”.

Miles de personas salieron a manifestar en Cataluña este martes en contra de la actuación que los cuerpos policiales tuvieron el día del referéndum.

“Va a ser otro error de esta cadena de errores. Después de cada error hemos salido más reforzados. Hoy estamos más cerca de la independencia que hace un mes y no solo porque avanzamos en el calendario que teníamos fijado, sino porque a cada semana y a cada error hemos acumulado más fuerza social, más mayoría en Cataluña que no acepta esta situación”, dijo.

“La intervención de la autonomía, el arresto de los miembros del gobierno o mi arresto. Esto puede ser el error definitivo”, agregó.

Puigdemont aseguró que Rajoy cometería un error si intenta tomar el control sobre el gobierno de Cataluña.

Puigdemont calificó como “muy decepcionante” la reacción de la Unión Europea a la actuación de las autoridades policiales españolas, señaladas de cometer excesos violentos en sus esfuerzos por evitar la realización de la consulta.

De igual modo, se mostró en desacuerdo con la declaración hecha el lunes pasado por la Comisión Europea asegurando que los sucesos en Cataluña son un asunto interno de España.

Puigdemont reveló que e la actualidad no hay contactos entre el gobierno de Rajoy y la Generalitat de Cataluña.

Tensiones

El referéndum sobre la independencia de Cataluña fue organizado por las autoridades autonómicas pese a que el Tribunal Constitucional de España lo había declarado ilegal.

El gobierno de Rajoy realizó un gran despliegue policial para evitar la consulta y durante esa jornada la actuación policial dejó un saldo de más de 800 heridos.

Miles de personas se concentraron en Barcelona en rechazo a la actuación policial durante el referéndum

Pese a ello, unos 2,3 millones de personas (cerca del 40% de la población con derecho al voto) participaron en la votación, según cifras de los organizadores, quienes aseguraron que 90% de los votantes respaldaron la propuesta de independizarse de España.

En protesta por la actuación policial del domingo, este martes se realizó un “paro general” en Cataluña, en cuyas principales ciudades se produjeron manifestaciones multitudinarias.

En Barcelona, más de 700.000 personas salieron a las calles, según cifras de la policía local citadas por AFP.

En la capital catalana hubo también más de 50 cortes de calles, lo que generó grandes atascos en el tráfico.

El metro trabajó a 25% de su capacidad en horas punta y grandes atracciones turísticas como el templo de la Sagrada Familia permanecieron cerradas.

Fractura

Este martes, el rey de España, Felipe VI, fijó posición por primera vez desde el referéndum catalán del domingo.

Felipe VI acusó de deslealtad a las autoridades catalanas que impulsaron el referéndum.

En una declaración institucional, el monarca criticó duramente a las autoridades regionales catalanas acusándolas de actuar con una “deslealtad inadmisible” y de haber “pretendido quebrar la unidad de España y la soberanía nacional”.

“Hoy la sociedad catalana está fracturada y enfrentada”, señaló y advirtió que, como consecuencia de este proceso, incluso se puede poner en riesgo la estabilidad económica y social de Cataluña y de toda España.

El jefe de Estado español consideró que la situación planteada es “de extrema gravedad”, por lo que “es responsabilidad de los legítimos poderes del Estado asegurar el orden constitucional y el normal funcionamiento de las instituciones, la vigencia del Estado de Derecho y el autogobierno de Cataluña, basado en la Constitución y en su Estatuto de Autonomía”.

The biggest races you aren’t watching – Politico
The biggest races you aren’t watching – Politico

Presented by The National Council on Election Integrity

With help from Myah Ward

THE LOW DOWN — This year, for the first time in 20 years, a presidential election coincides with the once-in-a-decade redistricting cycle. Across the nation, normally under-the-radar, low-budget contests for state representative and senator have been transformed into high-profile, million-dollar races.

Ten years ago, the Republicans beat Democrats badly at the redistricting game. In 2010, state representatives and senators didn’t have a say in approving President Barack Obama’s federal health law. That didn’t stop local Republicans from tying their down-ballot opponents to the Affordable Care Act. The GOP flipped nearly 20 state Houses that year, including both the state House and the Senate in half a dozen states. In Alabama Republicans took control of the Legislature for the first time since Reconstruction.

This year, Democrats are pinning their hopes of clawing back power in state capitals on the declining popularity of a new incumbent in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump.

The correlation between presidential politics and state races has become “remarkable,” said Steven Rogers, a political scientist at Saint Louis University who studied how party control relates to national election outcomes. State legislative races are “pretty much determined by the party and what people think of national government,” Rogers said.

Still, many local races are won or lost by a few hundred votes, or in the case of Virginia, a random drawing. Local Republicans are hoping the party’s anti-Trump voters still cast a ballot for their local candidates. “Republicans have been keeping everything local,” said Austin Chambers, president of the Republican State Leadership Committee. “Democrats have tried to make every one of these races about Donald Trump.”

Democrats admit now that they made a huge strategic blunder in not fighting for state legislative seats in 2010. “Look, we got our clock cleaned,” said Patrick Rodenbush, communications director at the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, formed in 2017. Those decade-old losses still have a sway over congressional and statehouse elections today, because of the maps Republicans drew in 2010.

Democrats aren’t expecting a local blue wave like the 2010 red wave. In Texas, even if Democrats are successful at winning a majority in the state House, Republicans will still control the Senate and governor’s office. But, Rodenbush said, if they can flip a few chambers like the Texas state House and divide state governments, Democrats can force compromises or get maps kicked to courts.

In Kansas and Wisconsin, Democrats aren’t trying to take control of legislative chambers. They just want to keep Republicans from maintaining or winning supermajorities so that Democratic governors can veto maps they think are unfair.

Here are some of the other battlegrounds to watch on Election Day:

Arizona: The state legislature doesn’t control redistricting — that’s done through an independent commission — but Democrats are still hoping to pick up two seats for a majority in the lower chamber and three seats for a majority in the upper chamber.

Minnesota: Republicans hold a three-seat majority in the state Senate. They are aiming to pick up nine seats to gain a majority in the state House.

North Carolina: Democrats need six seats to retake the state House, and five seats in the state Senate. They could also pick up four state Senate seats and the tie-breaking lieutenant governor office. The state’s maps have been a point of contention among Democrats for years. They point to the 2018 election as an example of partisan gerrymandering: Democrats won more total votes in state legislative races, but Republicans maintained control of both chambers.

Iowa: Republicans will retain their state Senate majority. Democrats need four seats to win a majority in the state House for the first time in a decade.

Pennsylvania: Republicans would like veto-proof majorities in both chambers to override vetoes from Democratic Gov.Tom Wolf, but they are more likely to be fending off Democrats who are trying to pick up nine Republican house seats and four in the Senate to win majorities in both chambers. Like North Carolina, this is another state where Dems won more votes overall but still didn’t control the chamber.

IT AIN’T OVER — Polls are getting worse and worse for Trump: One poll out today showed him deadlocked with Joe Biden in Texas and down 8 points in Pennsylvania. Still, journalists just can’t bring themselves to count him out, write John Harris and Daniel Lippman.

By historical standards, Trump’s press coverage is actually favorable. It is giving generous allowance for the possibility that things aren’t as bad as they seem for the incumbent, and that he may yet have another surprise in store for anyone who thinks that conventional dynamics of politics apply to him.

The reason is simple: Journalists and the political professionals who are their sources emerged from Trump’s 2016 upset doubting their own instincts and believing that familiar analytical prisms aren’t a reliable way to view this politician. Any previous campaign in Trump’s circumstances — bad polls nationally, behind in multiple must-win states, coming after four years of low favorability ratings and steady off-year and midterm losses for the party he leads — would be facing coverage that would be the political equivalent of a hospital vigil for a very sick patient.

Ben Ginsberg, a veteran Republican lawyer and operative, said the reluctance of many journalists to trust their instincts about the state of the race, “helps Trump because he can hold out a sliver of hope for his supporters so they don’t give up the ship. Nobody likes a loser; you’re not going to admit you’re a loser.”

Covid-2020

THE BARRETT COURT — An evenly divided Supreme Court on Monday declined to block a Pennsylvania state court ruling allowing mail-in ballots to be counted up to three days after Election Day as long as they’re postmarked by Nov. 3. The decision showed how sharply divided the Supreme Court is on election law, and how Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation could sway the outcome of future decisions.

Nightly’s Myah Ward talked with Rick Hasen, an election law expert at University of California Irvine School of Law, about how the court might rule on its next election lawsuit. This conversation has been edited.

What were Republicans arguing for in this case?

Number one, they argued that this would violate the rule setting a uniform federal Election Day, in effect extending the date of the election until Nov. 6. I don’t think that argument is a very serious one, because many states accept ballots that arrive after Election Day under different rules about how to treat postmarks.

The second argument is much more significant: that the Constitution gives only state legislatures the power to set the rules for conducting presidential elections. And in this case, the state Supreme Court held that the state statutes enacted by the Legislature had to give way to a constitutional right to vote protected under the Pennsylvania State Constitution.

And so here we have a clash between the state Supreme Court and the state Legislature. And this is especially important in states like Pennsylvania and North Carolina that have Democratic-dominated state Supreme Courts and Republican-dominated legislatures.

This suggests that there could be a new majority on the court that would side with the Legislature over the ability of the state Supreme Court to rely on its own Constitution in setting the parameters for voting litigation.

How could this decision potentially set the stage for post-election litigation?

One of the unfortunate things that we’ve seen in recent years is that the courts, much like the rest of America, divides along party lines on key issues. And that’s not because the judges are political hacks or are necessarily doing anything wrongful. They have different ideological views about how to decide court cases that tend to line up with views of the political parties that appointed them. So Democratic-appointed judges are much more protective of voting rights, and Republican-appointed judges are much more willing to defer to states. They might make it harder to vote in the name of preserving order or preventing fraud or something like that.

The fact that in this case, the Supreme Court divided so closely, mostly along ideological lines with Chief Justice Roberts siding with the liberals, suggested in any post-election contest if Judge Barrett is Justice Barrett by the time of Election Day, that cases that get to the Supreme Court could divide along those same types of party lines.

PENN PALS — It’s the state that sealed Trump’s victory in 2016. Now it could spell the end of his presidency. In the latest POLITICO Dispatch, Shrewsbury, Pa.’s own Holly Otterbein breaks down where things stand in the fight for Pennsylvania.

Veterans Day beginning to look a lot like Christmas as cold sweeps nation; freeze coming to Florida – USA TODAY
Veterans Day beginning to look a lot like Christmas as cold sweeps nation; freeze coming to Florida – USA TODAY

A wintry weather pattern that brought single-digit temperatures and more than a foot of snow to parts of the Upper Midwest was rolling across a wide swath of the nation Monday, threatening to break hundreds of records and bring a deep freeze as far south as Florida.

“The coldest surge of arctic air so far this season will bring widespread record low temperatures for much of the central and eastern U.S. even down to the Gulf Coast,” said Kwan-Yin Kong, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center.

Parts of Michigan already were overwhelmed with more than a foot of snow Monday – and some areas could see more than two feet before the snow ends Tuesday, AccuWeather said. As far south as Oklahoma, freezing temperatures and freezing rain normally reserved for the middle of winter were making their debut more than two weeks before Thanksgiving.

Americans heading out to Veterans Day events will need to bundle up. Thousands are expected to line the streets of Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the city’s 101st Veterans Day Parade.

“Cold front continues to surge through OK, with post-frontal gusts of 35-50 mph,” the National Weather Service warned in a tweet. “The freezing line is slowly creeping into northeast OK.”

Record lows are expected across the South and Midwest on Tuesday, when parts of Texas could drop to 16 degrees. Cities in Texas and Louisiana were predicted to reach highs in the mid-40s, breaking long-standing records.

By Tuesday, record cold is possible in the Northeast, Ohio Valley and portions of the South. The cold will sweep into the southern Plains and Ohio Valley. People living in parts of the Texas Panhandle up to Tulsa, Oklahoma, should allow extra time for the Monday morning commute to allow for icy, slippery conditions, AccuWeather warned.

The high Tuesday in Dallas is forecast for 44 degrees – 24 degrees below average for the date. By Tuesday night, Dallas is forecast for a low of 22 degrees. The record low for the date is 21 degrees.

Monday’s high in Brownsville, Texas, was forecast for 82 degrees – double Tuesday’s forecast high of 41 degrees.

‘Stupid’ and ‘insane’: Some billionaires vent over tax plan – ABC News
‘Stupid’ and ‘insane’: Some billionaires vent over tax plan – ABC News

Elon Musk isn’t happy.

With a personal fortune that is flirting with $300 billion, the Tesla CEO — the richest person on earth — has been attacking a Democratic proposal to tax the assets of billionaires like him.

The idea behind the Democratic plan is to use revenue from a billionaires tax to help pay for a domestic policy package being negotiated in Congress that would, among other things, help combat climate change, provide universal prekindergarten and expand health care programs.

Musk, who recently blew past Amazon founder Jeff Bezos as the world No. 1 in wealth thanks to Tesla’s soaring share price, would be liable for perhaps a $50 billion tax hit under the Democratic proposal.

Forget it, he says.

“My plan,” the SpaceX founder tweeted Thursday about his fortune, “is to use the money to get humanity to Mars and preserve the light of consciousness.”

He may well get his wish. Prospects for the billionaires tax appear to be dimming fast in Congress. The pivotal Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia is signaling his opposition to the plan along with some others, including some of his fellow Democrats, who have described such a tax as logistically impractical.

Earlier this week, Musk argued, the fundamental problem is that government spends too much money — and he warned that the billionaire tax proposal could lead over time to tax hikes for more Americans.

“Eventually,” he tweeted Monday, “they run out of other people’s money, and then they come for you.”

The Democratic proposal, unveiled Wednesday by Sen. Ron Wyden, would tax the gains of people with either $1 billion or more in assets or three consecutive years of income of $100 million or more. It would apply to fewer than an estimated 800 people, who would have to pay tax on the value of tradable items, like stocks, even if they don’t sell them. Under current law, such assets are subject to tax only when they’re sold.

Supporters have said the tax could raise $200 billion over 10 years that could help fund Biden’s legislative priorities. Republicans are unified in opposition to the proposal. And some have suggested it would be challenged in court.

The Democrats’ proposal comes against the backdrop of growing concerns about vast economic inequality, with the wealth of many American multi-billionaires having accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic, thanks to increased stock and home equity, even more than before the virus struck.

John Catsimatidis, the billionaire grocery chain and real estate magnate who owns Gristedes, condemned the proposal as something you would “expect Putin to do,” referring to President Vladimir Putin of Russia.

The billionaire tax plan, Catsimatidis told The Associated Press, is “a little bit insane.”

“The American people have reached the point where they’re saying, ‘Enough is enough’,” said Catsimatidis, who lost a bid for the Republican nomination for New York City mayor in 2013.

“Stop spending the money stupidly. They come up with budgets that are stupid budgets, and they want to make everybody else suffer for it.”

“Do we need infrastructure?” Catsimatidis added. “Sure, we need infrastructure. Do we need bridges to nowhere? No, we don’t need those.”

“You’re talking about the people that create the jobs,” he said of billionaires. “We can get up and go somewhere else.”

Leon Cooperman, the outspoken billionaire investor who has long denounced Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s own proposal for a wealth tax, has added his voice to the exasperation coming from some of the uber-wealthy.

In an interview with The Daily Beast, Cooperman said of the tax, “I doubt it’s legal, and it’s stupid.”

“What made America great,” he said, “was the people who started with nothing like me making a lot of money and giving it back. A relentless attack on wealthy people makes no sense.”

Not every billionaire shares such outrage. A spokesperson for George Soros, the investor and liberal philanthropist, told the AP that Soros is “supportive of the proposed billionaires tax.”

And while Warren Buffett has yet to comment publicly on the proposed tax, the billionaire head of Berkshire Hathaway has long called for higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy like himself.

Bob Lord, a tax lawyer and associate fellow at the progressive think tank Institute for Policy Studies, said that even if this particular proposal doesn’t pass, it does reflect how concerns about financial inequality are gathering momentum.

ProPublica reported in June that some of the richest Americans have paid no income tax, or nearly none, in some years — including Musk, who, the report said, paid zero income taxes in 2018. Critics argue that Musk’s criticism of the billionaire tax proposal overlooks the fact that Tesla’s rise has been aided by government incentives and loans.

Lord noted, for example, that the run-up in Tesla stock Monday, after a major order of Teslas from Hertz, increased Musk’s wealth by roughly $37 billion — more than what the IRS collects in estate and gift tax revenue from the entire country in one year.

Wyden’s proposal, Lord suggested, might need to close some loopholes.

“But I think they’ve done a pretty good job with it,” he said. “There are folks out there who are saying the billionaires will just put their money into non-publicly traded assets. But it’s not going to be that easy. It’s a pretty well-crafted bill.”

Such tax changes could also shift how billionaire philanthropists make donations.

Brian Mittendorf, a professor of accounting at Ohio State University, said he believes that in the short term, the billionaire proposal would lead some of the uber-wealthy to rush philanthropic contributions into so-called donor-advised funds. Such funds would allow them to receive tax deductions up front without distributing any of the money. (Donors can’t get the money back from these funds).

“If, in fact, this were to pass,” Mittendorf said, “it creates huge incentives to donate some of these assets that have gone up in value before the tax hits.”

Detuvieron al exsecretario de Obras Públicas José López – Página 12 (Registro)
Detuvieron al exsecretario de Obras Públicas José López – Página 12 (Registro)

El exsecretario de Obras Públicas José López fue detenido en la madrugada por la Policía Bonaerense frente al monestario de las Monjas Misioneras orantes y penitentes de Nuestra Señora del Rosario, en la localidad bonaerense de General Rodríguez, donde habría intentando esconder varios bolsos de dinero, por un monto total de 8,5 millones de dólares, además de joyas y relojes de lujo.

López fue encontrado por dos policías tras el llamado de un vecino al 911, después de haberlo visto arrojar bolsos por sobre el muro perimetral del monasterio. Al ser sorprendido por los policías, López intentó sobornarlos, según detalló el ministro de Seguridad bonaerense, Cristian Ritondo, en conferencia de prensa.

López había llegado al lugar en un Chevrolet Meriva, en el que los policías hallaron un bolso con dinero y una carabina calibre 22, primer motivo de la detención, ya que contaba con la portación de arma vencida.

Con López detenido, el ministro de Seguridad bonaerense, Cristian Ritondo, ofreció una conferencia de prensa en la que precisó que el exfuncionario tenía en su poder 160 bultos con “4 tipos de moneda distintos: dólares, yenes, euros y una moneda de Qatar”.

De acuerdo a la declaración de una de las monjas del convento, López había hablado previamente para avisar que iría al lugar. En diálogo con radio La Red, la monja sostuvo que López “una vez al año” visitaba el lugar para dar ayuda, pero aclaró que “nunca mandó dinero”.

El exsecretario de Obras Públicas pasó la tarde detenido en la comisaría primera de General Rodríguez, imputado de portación de arma vencida y presunto lavado de dinero. Minutos después de las 18, fue trasladado a una comisaría de la localidad de Moreno y el jueves se espera que se lo traslade a los tribunales de Comdoro Py, donde tramita una causa por “enriquecimiento ilítico” a cargo del juez federal Daniel Rafecas.

China announced Thursday that it would be forced to take “necessary countermeasures” if President Trump moves forward with tariffs set to take effect Sept. 1, continuing the back-and-forth escalation of the trade war even as the conflict elevates fears of a global economic slowdown.

Earlier this week, in a rare moment of easing, Trump announced that tariffs on certain consumer goods would be postponed until mid-December to spare consumers and companies some of the added costs during the holiday shopping season. It marked Trump’s first public acknowledgment that Americans shoulder the burden from his tariffs, but in tweets Trump also said the move “actually helps China more than us” and claimed China would reciprocate.

But the Chinese response Thursday showed that Beijing was not appeased by the delay.

“The move by the U.S. seriously violated the consensus reached between the two heads of state in Argentina and Osaka, and deviates from the right track of resolving differences through consultation,” the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council said in a statement. “China will have to take necessary countermeasures.”

Markets around the world slumped after China’s announcement.

[9 key countries are on the verge of recession, driving fears the U.S. could follow]

“Every time investors find the strength to pick themselves up off the floor, the trade war delivers another blow and knocks them down again,” Craig Erlam, an analyst with OANDA, wrote in a note to investors Thursday. “This report also answers the question of whether China viewed the decision to delay half of the tariff hikes until mid-December as being conciliatory in any way or just an act of self-preservation, given the importance of the holiday season in the U.S.”

Chinese officials offered no further details as to what form countermeasures might take, or whether their trade negotiators would still be coming to the U.S. to continue talks in September. But the message shows that China is prepared to dig its heels in, even as it grapples with political protests in Hong Kong and a raft of disappointing economic data. Earlier this week, China reported levels of high unemployment, as factory output fell to a 17-year low, showing the breadth of the nation’s economic slowdown.

In the United States, similar omens are looming. For the first time since the run-up to the Great Recession, the yields — or returns — on short-term U.S. bonds eclipsed those of long-term bonds. This phenomenon, which suggests investor faith in the economy is faltering, has preceded every recession in the past 50 years.

“The stars are aligned across the curve that the economy is headed for a big fall,” said Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at MUFG Union Bank. “The yield curves are all crying timber that a recession is almost a reality, and investors are tripping over themselves to get out of the way.”

The panic caused the Dow Jones industrial average to shed about 800 points Wednesday, in its biggest single-day drop of 2019. A half hour into Thursday trading, The Dow, Standard & Poor’s 500 index and the Nasdaq composite were barely positive, a reflection of investor uncertainty over the competing issues of China trade, the global bond market and an expanding U.S. economy.

Simeon Hyman, global investment strategist at ProShares, said the stock market’s middling mood on Thursday is a reflection of the “tug of war” between a strong American economy and “the rest of the world, which is not as healthy as the U.S. Those trade tensions with China are not going away.”

Signs of the trade war’s toll are surfacing not just in the United States and China but all over the globe. Central bank leaders in Europe, Asia and Australia have announced interest rate cuts in recent weeks, attributing the need for economic stimulus to the fallout from the trade war. And on Wednesday, Germany announced that its export-driven economy had shrunk .1 percent between April and June, and officials blamed the drop-off on the fallout from the trade war and the looming threat of a hard Brexit by Britain. With another contraction this quarter, Germany would officially be in a recession.

New York City and California to Require Vaccines or Tests for Workers – The New York Times
New York City and California to Require Vaccines or Tests for Workers – The New York Times

The new requirement in California, which covers 246,000 state government employees, plus the two million health care workers in the public and private sectors, will begin on Aug. 2 and be implemented by Aug. 23, Mr. Newsom said.

“We are exhausted by the right-wing echo chamber that has been perpetuating misinformation around the vaccine and its efficacy and safety,” Mr. Newsom, a Democrat, said. “We are exhausted by its politicization of this pandemic, and that includes mask wearing that has been equated to the Holocaust. It’s disgraceful, it’s unconscionable and it needs to be called out.”

California averages almost 6,400 new virus cases per day, an increase of more than 200 percent in the past two weeks. More than 64 percent of adults in the state are fully vaccinated, according to federal data.

Last month, San Francisco announced that all of its workers, more than 35,000 people, would have to receive a vaccine or risk disciplinary action after F.D.A. approval of at least one of the three vaccines now being administered under an emergency order. Several Bay Area counties, Stanford University and the 10 campuses of the University of California have also recently announced some type of mandate to help improve stalling vaccination rates.

The order in New York City, affecting roughly 340,000 city workers, including teachers and police officers, would begin for most workers on Sept. 13, the day when nearly one million students in the nation’s largest school district return to class. Mr. de Blasio has signaled that school reopening is critical to the city’s recovery from the pandemic.

“September is the pivot point of the recovery,” Mr. de Blasio said on Monday, also referring to the number of workers who are scheduled to return to offices in Manhattan.

The Biden administration has said it is not the federal government’s role to impose a nationwide mandate. But for the Department of Veterans Affairs, the risk to veterans, who tend to be older, sicker and possibly more vulnerable to illness, was becoming too great, said Denis McDonough, the secretary of veterans affairs, in an interview on Monday.

The latest: “The fate of our Donbas is being decided” in the eastern city of Severodonetsk, President Zelensky said Wednesday, as Russia continues its onslaught there in an effort to gain hold of the country’s east. The same day, a Russian radio station’s news bulletin was interrupted by Ukrainian anthems and antiwar songs.

The fight: A slowly regenerating Russian army is making incremental gains in eastern Ukraine against valiant but underequipped Ukrainian forces. The United States and its allies are racing to deliver the enormous quantities of weaponry the Ukrainians urgently need if they are to hold the Russians at bay.

The weapons: Ukraine is making use of weapons such as Javelin antitank missiles and Switchblade “kamikaze” drones, provided by the United States and other allies. Russia has used an array of weapons against Ukraine, some of which have drawn the attention and concern of analysts.

Photos: Post photographers have been on the ground from the very beginning of the war — here’s some of their most powerful work.

How you can help: Here are ways those in the U.S. can help support the Ukrainian people as well as what people around the world have been donating.

La pareja de Lanata en crisis – Perfil.com
La pareja de Lanata en crisis – Perfil.com

“Nosotras nos quedamos”. Sin más vueltas, Sara Stewart Brown le dejó en claro a su esposo, Jorge Lanata, que esta vez no apoyaba la idea del periodista de llevarse a toda la familia a vivir a Miami. Así, la pareja entró en una nueva etapa de crisis que, quienes la conocen, aseguran les será difícil de remontar. En marzo, Sara le salvó la vida a su esposo al donar un riñón a un tercero para que pudiera realizarse un trasplante cruzado y Lanata recibiera, a su vez, el órgano de otra persona. En ese momento, la relación parecía muy consolidada. Pero los planes laborales del periodista interfirieron una vez más.
Lanata ya había anunciado que a mediados de diciembre partiría hacia Miami en busca de nuevos aires y de una renovación laboral. Pero su esposa, quien en una entrevista a NOTICIAS hace tres años reconoció estar cansada de la adicción al trabajo de su marido, habría estallado al enterarse que Lanata tomó esta decisión sin consultarla, según fuentes cercanas a la pareja. Los protagonistas, sin embargo, desmienten esta crisis, asegurando que la negativa de Sara a viajar fue una decisión consensuada y que el amor sigue en pie. En marzo del año próximo, podría viajar cualquiera de los dos a visitarse.
En pocos días, Sara abrirá su propia galería de arte en el barrio de Recoleta a la que llamará “Punto Kiwi”, en alusión al sobrenombre que le puso su esposo. Por su parte, Lanata se mantiene firme en una decisión que considera clave para poner en marcha el mega proyecto de periodismo digital en el que viene trabajando desde hace un par de años. Lo concreto es que la pareja enfrentará un 2016 separada por miles de kilómetros.
Pasaje de ida. Hasta hace días, Miami esperaba el pronto arribo de Jorge Lanata y su familia. El departamento que alquiló el periodista está listo para recibir a sus nuevos habitantes y para convertirse en la oficina central de este proyecto periodístico. Pero lo que sería un hogar familiar se convertirá en un departamento de soltero. “Jorge siempre hizo lo que quiso. Sobre la relación con Kiwi, él dice que entre ellos está todo bien, que ella se queda de común acuerdo. Pero la realidad es que entre ellos las cosas no vienen bien desde hace un tiempo y que esto de querer irse fue la gota que rebalsó el vaso”, aseguró un amigo del periodista.
Consultados por NOTICIAS, Lanata y Sara eligieron el silencio. Ambos saben que no pueden ocultar el duro momento que les toca vivir, donde la decisión de periodista habría sido el motivo principal del enojo de Stewart. “Cuando se separaron en el 2013 fue por la adicción al trabajo de Jorge. Los problemas de salud de él y Lola (la hija de la pareja) fueron clave para que vuelvan a estar juntos y ahora Jorge sale con esto de irse todos del país. Ni siquiera le preguntó a ella qué le parecía la idea y eso ella no se lo bancó, a pesar de que lo ama”, le aseguró a NOTICIAS un amigo de la pareja quien, además, sostiene que la negativa de Stewart no influirá en la partida de Lanata: “Jorge se va igual, con o sin Sara”.
Para el periodista, el exilio es muy importante. Ya resolvió su continuidad para el 2016 con el Grupo Clarín y su partida de radio Mitre no será definitiva. Los directivos de la emisora saben que Lanata –una de las estrellas de la señal– convirtió a Radio Mitre en la líder del segmento. Por eso, el compromiso que asumió el periodista para el próximo año será continuar con el clásico pase que hoy hacen con Marcelo Longobardi –conductor de la primera mañana de la radio– y acompañar a quién lo reemplazará en la conducción, el periodista Diego Leuco, durante la primera hora de programa (de 10 a 11). Esta salida se hará vía telefónica desde su nuevo hogar. Respecto de la televisión, Lanata arregló reemplazar PPT con un ciclo de periodismo de investigación y entrevistas mucho más relajado que grabaría desde afuera.
Idas y vueltas. En mayo del 2013, NOTICIAS entrevistó a Stewart y ella confesó qué era lo que más le molestaba de su esposo: “Con el trabajo, de lunes a lunes, estoy enojadísima, cuántos laburos tiene, participa físicamente en todo lo que hace. Vivir con él es como estar de cierre constante, siempre hay alguna presión por algo”. La nota enojó a Lanata y tres meses más tarde la pareja sufría la primera ruptura, luego de pasar 15 años juntos.
Stewart conoció a Lanata en 1998. “Yo fui a la tribuna de ‘Día D’ el primer año del programa (en 1996) porque quería adaptar un libro de él y me invitó a tomar algo”, reveló ella hace unos años en el pase de aire que hacía su marido con Chiche Gelblung. Luego, agregó, que aunque le cerró la puerta al trabajo abrió la puerta de una relación. Al principio pasaron varios años de idas y vueltas que incluyeron un impasse. Pero al final, el amor se afianzó.
En el 2011, la pareja dio el “sí quiero” en secreto. Del tan preciado momento fueron testigos los familiares de ambos y las personas más cercanas a ellos. Para entonces, Lola, la única hija de ambos, tenía cinco años. Y todo parecía fluir maravillosamente. Pero en el 2013 algo se quebró. Durante más de dos meses el periodista se mudó al Hotel Faena, lejos de su familia y con sus problemas de salud que habían alcanzado ya un nivel más que preocupante.
Ese mismo año la pareja se reconcilió. “Hemos tenido épocas, buenas y malas, pero no me concibo sin estar al lado de él”, le confesaba entonces Stewart a NOTICIAS. Y al poco tiempo empezo a barajarse el nombre de ella como la posible donante para su marido.
El amor que siente Sara por Lanata lo dejó en claro en ese acto: entregar su riñón para permitir el trasplante cruzado que le cambió la vida al periodista. “Hubiera donado el riñón aún estando separada. Lo hice porque lo amo”, confesó ella cada vez que pudo. Pero los desequilibrios internos volvieron a aparecer. “A ella siempre le molestó la obsesión que él tiene por el trabajo, pero se lo bancaba. Lo que no aguantó es que él decidiera algo tan importante como irse del país sin consultarla. Sara lo ama y lo bancó en todas las decisiones que él tomó, acertadas o no. Pero ahora no está dispuesta a complacerle una decisión tan extrema como la de irse del país”, le aseguró a NOTICIAS un íntimo amigo de Stewart.
Lanata tenía todo planeado. El próximo año lo recibiría con importantes cambios. Lo que no imaginó fue que dentro de esos cambios entraría la posibilidad una nueva vida alejado de sus afectos.

    Capitol riot seen in new shocking footage like never before – New York Post
    Capitol riot seen in new shocking footage like never before – New York Post

    Shocking footage released on Sunday offers a new glimpse inside the deadly US Capitol riot, — following the invaders as they search for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other lawmakers, sit in Vice President Mike Pence’s seat and rifle through lawmakers’ documents.

    The nearly 13 edited minutes of footage were shot by war correspondent Luke Mogelson and published Sunday by The New Yorker, for which Mogelson is a contributing writer.

    The video opens with scenes of hordes of pro-Trump rioters overpowering US Capitol Police and streaming into the seat of American democracy through doors and shattered windows.

    “You’re outnumbered!” one rioter can be heard telling a small contingent of cops trying to hold the line inside a Capitol hallway. “There’s a f–king million of us out there, and we are listening to Trump, your boss!”

    The contingent of rioters backed the overwhelmed cops down a hallway through the sheer size of their group and headed up a stairway, with one invader yelling in parting, “We love you guys! Take it easy!”

    One group of dozens chanted, “Treason! Treason! Treason!” as they stalked the halls, the video shows.

    “Knock knock!” one man taunted as the doors to the Senate gallery were slammed open, sending rioters streaming inside. “We’re here!”

    Members of that group can be heard wondering about the whereabouts of Congressional lawmakers, who had been attempting to certify the results of Joe Biden’s presidential election victory when the riot broke out following a rally in which Trump encouraged his supporters to “fight like hell” against the process.

    “Where the f–k are they?” one man yelled upon seeing the deserted Senate floor.

    “Where the f–k is Nancy?” was another call.

    As rioters clad in combat gear made their way onto the Senate floor, a debate broke out about the optics of the takeover.

    The spat centered around one intruder taking a seat in the chair reserved for the president of the Senate, Pence — who was accused by Trump of not doing enough to fight the election results and was among those forced to evacuate when the riot hit.

    “Hey, get out of that chair!” Larry Brock, a zip tie-carrying retired Air Force lieutenant colonel from Texas can be heard telling the unidentified man occupying Pence’s seat.

    “No, this is our chair!” a third man yelled back.

    “It’s not our chair,” countered Brock. “I love you guys, you’re brothers, but we can’t be disrespectful.”

    A rioter challenged Brock further, invoking a conspiracy theory that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against Trump.

    “They can steal an election, but we can’t sit in their chairs?” the man asked.

    “No, we’re not putting up with that either!” insisted Brock. “Look, it’s a PR war. … We’re better than that.”

    While the group bickered, others rifled through lawmakers’ desks, apparently in search of documents to back their claim that the election was rigged.

    A handful of intruders stumbled upon papers detailing what one identified as Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s “objection to the Arizona” election results.

    The discovery left some confused over exactly what the papers purportedly showed.

    “His objection! He was gonna sell us out all along!” fumed one man.

    “Wait, no, that’s a good thing!” chimed in another huddled around the document.

    One of Trump’s most loyal supporters in Congress, Cruz was among those who questioned the legitimacy of Biden’s win in Arizona, lodging an unsuccessful protest even in the hours after the riot.

    Two others flipped through a binder, apparently also in search of evidence or otherwise incriminating material, the video shows.

    “There’s gotta be something in here we can f–king use against these scumbags,” muttered one man, haphazardly leafing through pages.

    “[Republican Missouri Sen. Josh] Hawley, Cruz. I think Cruz would want us to do this,” another man intoned. “I think we’re good.”

    Above them in the gallery, “QAnon Shaman” Jacob Chansley — done up in a horned helmet and red, white and blue face paint — chanted unintelligibly, rhythmically stomping his feet and the pole of an American flag.

    In a later segment, Chansley — also known as Jake Angeli — made his way down onto the Senate floor, closely followed by a lone cop, the video shows.

    “You guys are f–king patriots,” said Angeli to the group. “Look at this guy. He’s covered in blood. God bless you.”

    The man to whom Angeli was referring, splayed out on the floor with a small smear of blood on his t-shirt, said that he “got shot in the face with some kind of plastic bullet,” but declined an offer of medical help.

    As Angeli ascended the dais and prepared to sit in Pence’s seat, the cop took his best shot at dispersing the crowd.

    “Is there any chance I can get you guys to leave the Senate wing?” he asked.

    Replied the bloodied man on the floor, “We will. I’ve been making sure they ain’t disrespecting the place.”

    Angeli, however, decided to make himself at home.

    “I’m gonna take a sit in this chair because Mike Pence is a f–king traitor,” he said.

    As the cop looked on, Angeli asked another rioter to use his phone to snap a photo of him seated in Pence’s chair.

    Once Angeli had his photo, the cop took another crack.

    “Now that you’ve done that, can I get you guys to walk out of this room, please?” he asked.

    The group appeared to be complying, but not before Angeli scrawled a message on a sheet of paper before Pence’s seat: “It’s only a matter of time[,] justice is coming!”

    In a later segment, however, Angeli and others were back on the dais, using a megaphone to shout a “prayer.”

    “Thank you, heavenly father, for being the inspiration needed to these police officers to allow us into the building, to allow us to exercise our rights, to allow us to send a message to all the tyrants, the communists and the globalists,” said Angeli.

    In the hall outside the Senate chamber, cops were doing what they could to direct rioters out of the building.

    “We support you guys, OK?” one rioter could be heard telling an officer. “We know you’re doing your job.”

    Back outside the Capitol, however, it was a different scene as another contingent of rioters clashed with cops attempting to restore order.

    “F–k the blue! F–k the blue!” some in the mob chanted, the video shows, in an apparent reference to police.

    Five people died in the chaos, among them a US Capitol Police officer pepper-sprayed and beaten with a fire extinguisher.

    Dozens of people have been arrested and charged thus far, though authorities have said that number is expected to grow into the hundreds.

    Trump asserts on Twitter he has right to interfere in DOJ cases after Barr criticizes president’s tweets – CNBC
    Trump asserts on Twitter he has right to interfere in DOJ cases after Barr criticizes president’s tweets – CNBC

    President Donald Trump on Friday tweeted that he has the “legal right” to meddle in court cases being handled by the Department of Justice, a day after Attorney General William Barr said on national television that the president’s tweets “make it impossible for me to do my job.”

    Trump, in direct response to his administration’s top law enforcement official, challenged Barr’s recent assertion that he will not be “bullied” by anyone.

    Trump said that while he could interfere in the department’s criminal cases, he has “so far chosen not to!”

    The Justice Department declined to comment on the president’s tweet.

    The rebuke on Twitter marks the president’s first response to Barr’s extraordinary interview with ABC News on Thursday.

    Barr has come under intense criticism in the days since he pushed federal prosecutors to revise their sentencing recommendation for Roger Stone, a longtime friend of Trump’s.

    On Monday, those prosecutors recommended that a judge in Washington, D.C., district court sentence Stone to up to nine years in prison for crimes related to lying to Congress about his contacts with WikiLeaks during the 2016 presidential election.

    That proposed sentence fell in line with federal sentencing guidelines; defense attorneys argued that Stone should receive a sentence of probation.

    After the sentencing memo was filed, Trump took to Twitter in the middle of the night Tuesday to blast the recommendation as a “disgrace,” adding, “Cannot allow this miscarriage of justice!”

    Hours after that, the Justice Department filed a new sentencing suggestion, calling for Stone to receive “far less” time in prison.

    All four prosecutors quit the case in apparent protest on Tuesday — and one resigned from the Justice Department altogether.

    Trump praised Barr on social media afterward.

    Barr and his department claim that the decision to amend Stone’s sentencing recommendation came prior to Trump’s attacks on social media. Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has called for the department’s internal watchdog to investigate the matter.

    On Friday morning, Trump zeroed in on Barr’s insistence that “the president has never asked me to do anything in a criminal case.”

    “This doesn’t mean that I do not have, as President, the legal right to do so,” Trump wrote in response. “I do, but I have so far chosen not to!”

    Despite the dramatic public rift between the two political leaders, White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said that Trump, who famously demands loyalty from his associates, “wasn’t bothered” by Barr’s critique to ABC.

    Stone, 67, was convicted in November of crimes related to lying to Congress about his contacts with the document disclosure group WikiLeaks during the 2016 presidential election, as well as to pressuring an associate, comedian Randy Credico, to corroborate his false claims.

    WikiLeaks during the 2016 election published emails that had been stolen by Russian agents from John Podesta, the campaign chief for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, and from the Democratic National Committee.

    Former Trump campaign official Rick Gates testified at Stone’s trial that Trump had a phone call with Stone about WikiLeaks during the campaign.

    Gates’ account contrasts with Trump’s claim in November 2018 that he did not recall speaking to Stone about WikiLeaks. Gates said that less than a minute after finishing a July 2016 call from Stone, Trump indicated that “more information would be coming” from Wikileaks.

    Stone is set to be sentenced Feb. 20 in U.S. District Court in Washington.

    Merced kidnapping: All 4 bodies found, including 8-month-old, sheriff confirms – KFSN-TV
    Merced kidnapping: All 4 bodies found, including 8-month-old, sheriff confirms – KFSN-TV

    MERCED COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) — All four bodies of the people who were kidnapped from a business in Merced County earlier this week have been found.

    Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke says the bodies of 36-year-old Jasdeep Singh, 27-year-old Jasleen Kaur, their eight-month-old child Aroohi Dheri and the baby’s uncle, 39-year-old Amandeep Singh were found Wednesday evening in an orchard near Indiana Rd. & Hutchins Rd.

    The city of Merced has announced a candlelight vigil for the family will be held every night at 7 p.m. starting Oct. 6 to Oct. 9.

    The vigil will be held in downtown Merced at Bob Hart Square (510 W Main St., Merced, CA 95340).

    On Monday, the family members were kidnapped from a business at the intersection of Dickenson Ferry Road and South Highway 59 in Merced County.

    Warnke said that a farm worker near the orchard found the bodies and immediately contacted authorities.

    All of the bodies were found close together.

    “There are no words to describe the anger I feel,” Warnke said during a press conference Wednesday evening. “There’s a special place in hell for this guy.”

    Earlier in the day Wednesday, the Merced County Sheriff’s Office released chilling new video showing the moment the family was kidnapped.

    Jasdeep and Amandeep Singh came out of the business with their hands zip-tied together. Moments later, the video shows the kidnapper leading Jasleen Kaur and her 8-month-old baby, Aroohi Dheri, out of the building into a truck.

    Jesus Manuel Salgado, the person of interest, was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon and remains in the hospital in critical condition after he tried to kill himself.

    The sheriff’s office said his own family contacted authorities reporting that Salgado had admitted to them he was involved with the kidnapping of the family.

    Warnke said that while no evidence leads to it, he believes one other suspect may be connected.
