Al menos 44 muertos tras el poderoso terremoto de 7.1 que sacudió México – Univision

La Ciudad de México se vio estremecida este martes en la tarde por
un poderoso terremoto de magnitud 7.1. Imágenes de medios locales muestran dramáticas escenas de edificios colapsando y aún se desconoce si había gente dentro, aunque hay reportes de atrapados. Personas que presenciaron el sismo temen víctimas fatales debido a la extensión de los daños.

Alfredo del Mazo, gobernador del estado de México, informó que al menos dos personas fallecieron tras el terremoto que se registró este martes y así mismo se reportaron 42 fallecidos en Morelos, según informó el gobernador de ese estado, Graco Ramírez, a través de su cuenta de Twitter. La publicación fue acompañada de una lista preliminar de los fallecidos en cada municipio

El Servicio Sismológico Nacional informó que
el sismo ocurrió a las 01:14 pm, tiempo del Centro de México, y su epicentro se ubicó a 12 kilómetros al sureste de Axochiapán, en el estado de Morelos, es decir a unos 120 kilómetros de la capital mexicana. Su profundidad fue de 57 kilómetros.

El movimiento telúrico ocurre en el aniversario del poderoso sismo de 1985 que produjo daños generalizados en la Ciudad de México y miles de muertos. De hecho,
el terremoto de este martes ocurrió casi una hora después de que se llevaran a cabo simulacros en todo el país en recuerdo del histórico suceso.

La extensión de los daños aún son poco claros, pero testimonios dados a conocer en redes sociales hablan de edificaciones destruidas y algunas incluso incendiadas. También se reportan
evacuaciones masivas de edificios a lo largo del Paseo de la Reforma.

“Todo se empezó a caer”, contó una mujer
en un video que registró el momento del sismo.

Las fachadas de algunas edificaciones se vinieron abajo, destrozando autos que se encontraban en las calles adyacentes.

Según medios locales, hay zonas del centro de Ciudad de México con viviendas agrietadas y hay reportes de casas derrumbadas parcialmente.

En Xochimilco, la onda sísmica provocó que el agua en los canales se estremeciera.

El secretario de Gobernación, Miguel Osorio, informó en un tuit de daños a diversas estructuras en el DF, Puebla y Morelos, pero especialmente en la capital.

Las fugas de gas son una de las preocupaciones de las autoridades por los potenciales peligros que traen consigo. Residentes de la capital han reportado en redes sociales un fuerte olor en áreas muy localizadas.

Según informó la agencia de noticias española EFE,
en el estado de Puebla se vinieron abajo las torres de la Iglesia de Cholula y en
Morelos y Oaxaca también se reportan daños.

El sismo de la tarde de este martes ocurre poco más de una semana después del que estremeció Oaxaca, Chiapas y Tabasco, que dejó unos 100 muertos.

Beto O’Rourke Enters the 2020 Presidential Campaign – The New York Times
Beto O’Rourke Enters the 2020 Presidential Campaign – The New York Times

“All of us, wherever you live, can acknowledge that if immigration is a problem it’s the best possible problem for this country to have,’’ Mr. O’Rourke said in his video announcement Thursday.

Mr. Trump, in turn, has taunted Mr. O’Rourke for turning a losing campaign into a launchpad for a presidential bid. “Hey, you’re supposed to win in order to run,’’ Mr. Trump has said.

But the Democratic primary could present unique challenges to Mr. O’Rourke.

It is an open question whether he will be able to scale up his skeletal organization and hand over control to the sort of political professionals he largely shunned in his Senate race. The lead-up to Mr. O’Rourke’s official announcement Thursday has been highly improvisational, in part because he was personally directing much of the planning.

On Wednesday night, he was texting supporters in early nominating states to share his plans and to tell them he would have advisers get in touch with them about his upcoming schedule. And for weeks, he has been meeting and talking on the telephone with a number of Democratic strategists to gauge their interest in working for him, finding encouragement but also a reluctance to move to El Paso, where he is planning to base his operations.

As late as last weekend, Mr. O’Rourke had still not settled on who would guide his campaign. He discussed the campaign manager job for 90 minutes with a Democratic strategist, Jennifer O’Malley Dillon, at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, but even on the eve of his announcement it was uncertain who would be at the helm of his organization.

Yet he enjoys the support of many of former President Barack Obama’s aides, some tacitly and others more full-throated, and he has relied on advice from a number of Mr. Obama’s strategists, including the 2008 campaign manager, David Plouffe. (Mr. Plouffe is not, however, planning to formally participate in the race on behalf of any candidate.)

But unlike Mr. Obama, who ran in a year when the Iraq war was the single overriding policy issue in the Democratic race, Mr. O’Rourke is seeking the presidency at a moment his party is lurching left across the board. He will be immediately under pressure to expand upon the sometimes-vague liberalism that has colored his public life.

2020 elections

At a Cincinnati rally, the president casts the Democratic primary as a referendum on Barack Obama’s legacy.

CINCINNATI — In a state he hopes to capture again next November, President Donald Trump on Thursday accused his “extremist left-wing” opponents of ruining America’s inner cities — escalating his attacks against influential progressive voices and painting the Democratic presidential primary as a referendum on Barack Obama’s legacy.

“I was watching the Democrats’ debate last night … and the Democrats spent more time attacking Barack Obama than they did attacking me,” Trump said at a crowded rally here.

Story Continued Below

It was Trump’s first trip to Cincinnati for a campaign event since he warned voters on the eve of the 2018 midterm elections that Democrats would “take a wrecking ball” to the U.S. economy if they won control of the House of Representatives. He painted the same bleak picture for his supporters on Thursday, claiming that a Democratic victory next fall would subject Ohioans to higher taxes, fewer jobs and “socialist” policies that could make the U.S. unrecognizable.

“The rage-filled Democrat Party is trying to tear America apart. The Democrat Party is now being led by four left-wing extremists who reject everything that we believe in,” Trump said, referencing the four first-term congresswomen of color — Reps. Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib — whom he targeted in a series of tweets last month.

“No one has paid a higher price for the far left’s destructive agenda than Americans living in our inner cities,” he added.

Campaign advisers said the president views this campaign stop as an opportunity to reset the narrative following back-to-back Democratic primary debates this week in Detroit. Nearly every candidate excoriated Trump for stirring up racial animus, in addition to criticizing his trade, health care and immigration policies.

The president has alternated his attacks against Democratic rivals over the past few months, often directing his ire toward whichever candidate is dominating the news cycle that week or gaining ground in primary polls. But on Thursday, Trump specifically went after Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who drew praise for her debate performance this week.

“She’s lying and cheating her way through” the presidential primary, Trump said. “She defrauded people with her credentials. She said, ‘I’m Indian,’ and I said, ‘I have more Indian blood than she does and I have none. I’m sorry.’”

He also mocked former Vice President Joe Biden, 76, for his age, suggesting the current Democratic front-runner would be taken advantage of as president because he as “no clue what the hell he is doing.”

“They’d say, ‘Sleepy Joe, Sir, just sign right there,’” Trump said, mimicking White House staffers.

Trump’s team previewed his message in a statement earlier Thursday that sought to underscore his appeal in the industrial Midwest — and mocked Democrats for handing him “another win” with their onstage bickering.

“Plenty of socialist stupidity — eliminating private insurance, decriminalizing border crossings, higher taxes, getting rid of fossil fuels,” campaign spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement.

“Goodbye Pennsylvania. Goodbye auto industry. Goodbye Midwest,” she added.

Melinda Soliz, a Cincinnati native who tuned in to parts of the Democratic debates, said she was less than impressed with the candidates. But, she added, “Biden was OK, I guess.” Soliz said she’s loyal to Trump — for now.

“If the situation changes with the economy, I could change my mind,” Soliz told POLITICO before the rally began.

In recent days, Trump has left some allies feeling uneasy about his connection to voters in America’s heartland. His return to racial politics has done little to boost his approval in the suburbs of Rust Belt cities that many white working-class voters and union members — two demographics that the Trump campaign is targeting — consider home.

One poll released last Thursday, on the heels of the president’s attacks on the four minority congresswomen and before his weekend Twitter rant against Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), found Democratic front-runner Joe Biden besting the president in Ohio by 8 percentage points — 50 to 42 percent — in a hypothetical general election matchup.

Other polls conducted over the past two weeks have shown the president receiving high marks for the state of the economy, while highlighting voters’ broad disapproval of his racially charged rhetoric. Even among Trump’s supporters, a Fox News survey found a 17-point decline from August 2017 to present of those who believe he respects racial minorities.

But Trump campaign officials say they’re optimistic about capturing voters who disagree with his rhetoric, yet struggle to stomach some of the far-left policies presented by his Democratic opponents. As long as progressive Democrats maintain their current positions on immigration, taxes and health care, aides say, Trump can use them to his advantage.

It’s precisely what Trump sought to do when he took the stage in Cincinnati. Standing before an adoring crowd in the U.S. Bank Arena, he ticked through cultural issues and cast the Democratic Party as far “outside the mainstream.”

“Democrats are now the party of high taxes, high crime, late-term abortion, and they’re the party, frankly, of socialism,” he said.

As he worked through themes that have become a staple of his 2020 campaign, Trump was careful to avoid the same lines that led supporters at a rally last week to chant, “Send her back,” at the mention of Omar (D-Minn.). Prior to arriving here, Trump said he would “prefer” that his fans avoid the chant Thursday night.

“I didn’t care for that. It’s inappropriate,” said Soliz, the Cincinnati native.

Another part of the Trump campaign’s strategy in swing states like Ohio includes forming various coalition groups whose members will serve as pro-Trump surrogates in their communities. The campaign has already announced a women’s coalition and Latino coalition, and has plans to unveil an African American coalition this summer.

“‘Women for Trump’ will not only highlight the president’s clear record of success during his first term, but will share a vision of empowerment and prosperity for every person in every corner of our country,” Lara Trump, the president’s daughter-in-law, said of the coalition she spearheads.

There are some in Trump’s camp who, in addition to congressional Republican leaders, want the president to trade his divisive commentary on race and immigration for safer talking points on jobs and the economy. A reminder of their preference hung behind the president as he took the stage on Thursday: Two enormous red banners hung high above Trump’s head with “JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!” emblazoned across them.

Thursday could have been an ideal opportunity for Trump to tout such progress. Just hours before he arrived here, the Senate passed a two-year budget deal with bipartisan support that erases the threat of a debt default until after the election next year and increases military and domestic spending by $320 billion over the two years. Trump is expected to sign the bill into law.

Trump carried Ohio, a battleground state with 18 electoral votes, by 8 points over Hillary Clinton in 2016. His current approval rating in the state could paint a grim picture, though, as he seeks a second term. Fifty percent of Ohio voters in a June poll by Morning Consult said they disapproved of Trump’s job performance, compared with 46 percent who gave the president high marks.

Buenas noticias para el expresidente Jimmy Carter: ya no necesita tratamiento contra el cáncer – CNNEspañol.com
Buenas noticias para el expresidente Jimmy Carter: ya no necesita tratamiento contra el cáncer – CNNEspañol.com

(CNN) – Las noticias se ponen cada vez mejor para el expresidente de Estados Unidos, Jimmy Carter.

Este domingo, reveló que ya no necesita recibir tratamiento para el cáncer.

El exmandatario, de 91 años, hizo el anuncio en la clase que imparte durante la escuela dominical en su iglesia de Plains, Georgia.

“Continuará las exploraciones y reanudará el tratamiento, si es necesario,” dijo la portavoz del Centro Carter, Deanna Congileo.

El expresidente anunció, en agosto pasado, que el cáncer que tenía en el hígado se había extendido a su cerebro.

Inicialmente pensó que tenía solo unas semanas de vida cuando supo por primera vez del diagnóstico y dejó su destino “en las manos de Dios, a quien adoro”, dijo entonces.

Carter fue tratado con cirugía, radiación y una relativamente nueva forma de inmunoterapia.

En noviembre, los médicos del Winship Cancer Institute de la Universidad de Emory, en Atlanta, le dijeron que su tratamiento había ido bien y que no había signos de que la enfermedad se hubiera diseminado.

En diciembre de 2015, el exmandatario fue declarado libre de cáncer.

Según la vocera del centro presidencial, recibió los tratamientos de agosto de 2015 hasta febrero pasado.

2020 elections

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Joe Biden on Saturday referred to President Donald Trump as a “clown” after a supporter asked the former vice president whether he would return Trump’s insults.

Biden, who is on the first swing of his 2020 campaign, told about two dozen supporters at a private fundraiser that he didn’t want to get down in the mud with Trump.

Story Continued Below

“There’s so many nicknames I’m inclined to give this guy,” Biden said to laughter in the room. “You can just start with clown.”

Since launching his bid in late April, Trump has given Biden special attention, including referring to him as “Sleepy Joe.”

Biden said that while he planned to respond to Trump if directly attacked, he believed it was part of the president’s strategy to keep dialogue away from the issues.

“On every single issue and on every demeaning thing he says about other people, I have no problem responding directly,” Biden said. “What I’m not going to do is get into what he wants me to do. He wants this to be a mud wrestling match.”

Saturday marked the first of Biden’s two-day swing through South Carolina as part of a larger cross-country tour that will eventually bring him back to a rally in Philadelphia. Biden spoke at a fundraiser in the private home of state Sen. Dick Harpootlian, an attorney and former South Carolina Democratic Party chairman. Earlier in the day, Biden spoke at a rally in Columbia before heading to the private fundraiser where he delivered remarks and took questions from supporters for about 20 minutes. Biden’s campaign is allowing limited media access to all of the candidate’s fundraisers.

Biden highlighted his foreign policy background as he made the case for running.

“I think, whether I’m right or not, I know as much about American foreign policy as anyone around, including even maybe Kissinger. I say that because I’ve been doing it my entire adult life.”

Just then, Biden flubbed on his foreign leaders.

“One I can say is Margaret Thatcher, um, excuse me, Margaret Thatcher – Freudian slip,” Biden said to laughter in the room. “But I knew her too.” He then corrected himself: “The prime minister of Great Britain, Theresa May.”

Biden also told the group he regretted once saying if he were in high school he would have taken Trump around back and “beat the hell out of him.”

“Well guess what? I probably shouldn’t have done that,” Biden said Saturday, “I don’t want to get it down to that level. The presidency is an office that requires some dignity.”

Biden alluded to having private conversations with Trump, adding: “I let him understand what I think about him.”

The former vice president warned that the contest would get nasty quickly, and that he expected his family would be the subject of attacks.

“This guy is going to go after me and my family,” Biden said.

Biden then told a story about his grandchildren playing a role in urging him to run for president. He said one of his grandchildren called a family meeting eight weeks ago and contended that his grandchildren urged him to run after seeing degrading images on him online.

“‘Pop, you have to run Pop,” Biden said one of his grandsons, “Little Hunter” told him, then said his grandson showed him a photo online from Beau Biden’s funeral. “‘Pop, it says: ‘Look at Biden molesting a kid,’” Biden said his grandson told him. “Pop, I know it’s going to be mean, they’re going to say bad things about Daddy.”

“Mommy and Daddy had a divorce and they’re going to really go after that,” Biden continued, in retelling what he said his grandchildren said to him.

“My generic point is they know how tough it’s going to be.”

    Brazil Foreign Minister Ernesto Araujo (L) and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met on Friday

    The US and Brazil have agreed to promote private-sector development in the Amazon, during a meeting in Washington on Friday.

    They also pledged a $100m (£80m) biodiversity conservation fund for the Amazon led by the private sector.

    Brazil’s foreign minister said opening the rainforest to economic development was the only way to protect it.

    Ernesto Araujo also hit back at criticism of Brazil’s handling of the forest fires.

    He told reporters in Washington that claims the country is “not able to cope with the challenges” were false.

    On Friday, Finland urged EU countries to consider stopping importing beef and soybeans from Brazil in order to put pressure on Brazil to tackle the fires.

    Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro has faced criticism for failing to protect the region.

    More than 80,000 fires have broken out in the Amazon rainforest so far this year.

    Experts believe the majority of the fires across Brazil this year are caused by human activity such as farmers and loggers clearing land for crops or grazing.

    Environmentalists say Mr Bolsonaro’s policies have led to an increase in fires this year and that he has encouraged cattle farmers to clear large areas of the rainforest since his election last October.

    Mr Araujo said: “We want to be together in the endeavour to create development for the Amazon region which we are convinced is the only way to protect the forest.

    “So we need new initiatives, new productive initiatives, that create jobs, that create revenue for people in the Amazon and that’s where our partnership with the United States will be very important for us.”

    Media caption“It’s extremely upsetting… to see this kind of devastation” – the BBC’s Will Grant flew over northern Rondonia state

    US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the biodiversity investment fund would support businesses in hard to reach areas of the Amazon.

    He added: “The Brazilians and the American teams will follow through on our commitment that our presidents made in March. We’re getting off the ground a 100 million dollar, 11-year Impact Investment Fund for Amazon biodiversity conservation and that project will be led by the private sector.”

    Last week seven South American countries agreed on measures to protect the Amazon river basin.

    Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru and Suriname signed a pact, setting up a disaster response network and satellite monitoring.

    At a summit in Colombia, they also agreed to work on reforestation.

    Some Northern Virginia schools closed or delayed ahead of icy Friday weather – WTOP
    Some Northern Virginia schools closed or delayed ahead of icy Friday weather – WTOP

    It might be a far cry from a winter storm, but ice could make for slippery roadways during Friday morning commute as rain moves in and temperatures hover around freezing — prompting some schools to issue delays.

    As of 7:40 a.m., Loudoun, Fauquier and Rappahannock county public schools are closed for the day, a change in status from an earlier two-hour delay. Prince William and Stafford county public schools have announced a two-hour delay for Friday classes. See WTOP’s closings and delays page for more.

    Showers will overspread the region around daybreak, with D.C.’s southern and western suburbs the most likely to see freezing rain during morning rush hour and the city itself sticking to a cold rain.

    Plan for slow travel and use caution on roads and sidewalks. Look on the bright side: There’s no snow in the forecast. Not today, at least.

    “Light rain will arrive around dawn Friday with freezing rain and drizzle in western suburbs,” said NBC Washington meteorologist Steve Prinzivalli. “This could lead to slippery roads, especially those untreated roads such as bridges, overpasses, secondary roads and ramps.”

    The further north and west, the slicker roads are likely to get — especially in higher elevations of Virginia and Maryland.

    Both Prinzivalli and the National Weather Service agreed areas to the west of D.C. such as the Blue Ridge and Interstate 81 corridor, as well as communities such as Frederick and Purcellville, should expect icy conditions lingering into the afternoon.

    “Areas of greater concern for freezing rain and ice accumulations are along and west of U.S. Route 15 from Frederick County, Maryland, southwest into western Loudoun and northern Fauquier Counties in Virginia, and all other areas to the southwest and west,” the weather service said in their Friday morning forecast discussion.

    In its winter weather advisory, the National Weather Service said it expects up to one tenth of an inch of ice in those areas from around 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. before a change to plain rain.

    As for the rest of the D.C. area? “Expect a chilly rain Friday with highs near 40 degrees,” Prinzivalli said.

    That storm will push north on Saturday morning, bring a warm front and cloudy and damp conditions to the region, with milder highs in the low 50s. There may be occasional showers, but the worst of the winter weather should abate for the weekend.

    “By Saturday night, a low pressure center will drag a cold front through the area,” Prinzivalli said, which will bring “drier and cooler air for the second half of the weekend.” Sunday will be partly sunny and breezy, with highs near 50 but winds of 10 to 20 mph.

    Prinzivalli warns that the workweek may start off with some messy weather due to a fresh low pressure system.

    “We may see a wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain develop Monday morning and continue into the afternoon,” he said. “As temperatures will struggle to reach the middle to upper 30s, we will have the risk of slippery travel conditions Monday into Tuesday morning.”

    Boeing to temporarily halt 737 Max production in January – BBC News
    Boeing to temporarily halt 737 Max production in January – BBC News

    Getty Images

    Boeing will temporarily halt production of its troubled 737 Max airliner in January, the manufacturer said.

    Production of the jet had continued despite the model being grounded for nine months after two deadly crashes.

    More than 300 people died when two 737 Max aircraft crashed in Indonesia and Ethiopia after reported problems with a new feature.

    Boeing had been hoping to have the planes back in the air by the end of this year.

    But US regulators made it clear that they would not be certified to return to the skies that quickly.

    What will Boeing do next?

    Boeing is one of the largest US exporters. The company said in a statement that it would not lay off workers associated with the 737 Max, but the stoppage is likely to affect suppliers and the wider economy.

    “Safely returning the 737 Max to service is our top priority,” the aircraft manufacturer said.

    “We know that the process of approving the 737 Max’s return to service, and of determining appropriate training requirements, must be extraordinarily thorough and robust, to ensure that our regulators, customers, and the flying public have confidence in the 737 Max updates.”

    What went wrong with the planes?

    Last week a congressional hearing was told that US aviation regulators were aware, following the first crash in Indonesia in October 2018, that there was a risk of further accidents.

    The Federal Aviation Authority’s analysis suggested there could be more than a dozen more crashes over the lifetime of the aircraft unless changes were made to its design.

    Media captionBoeing 737 crashes: What went wrong?

    Despite that, the 737 Max was not grounded until after the second crash in Ethiopia in March 2019.

    Boeing is redesigning the automated control system thought to have been the primary cause of the crashes.

    The manufacturer said it had 400 of the 737 Max aircraft in storage and would focus on delivering those to customers. While many airlines around the world have the planes on order, delivery was halted to allow Boeing’s engineers to develop software fixes.

    What has the reaction been?

    Travel industry analyst Henry Harteveldt said the decision to suspend production was unprecedented and likely to have a “massive impact on Boeing, its suppliers and the airlines”.

    “It’s really going to create some chaos for the airlines that are involved in this as well as the 600 or so companies that are part of the 737 Max supply chain and Boeing itself.”

    The suspension of the 737 Max has already cost Boeing around $9bn (£6.75bn). Boeing shares fell more than 4% on Monday amid speculation production would be suspended.

    All Boeing 737 Max planes are currently grounded

    The production freeze is expected to be felt across the plane’s global supply chain.

    Teal Group aviation analyst Richard Aboulafia described Boeing’s options for managing the blow to its suppliers as “bad and worse”.

    He said the plane maker could either allow them to take a hit, or pay them to wait for when the 737 Max is finally cleared to fly.

    US carriers operate the largest 737 Max fleets, though airlines around the world also use it.

    “The Chinese carriers would [also] be quite badly affected. They’re some of the biggest users of the Max,” said Shukor Yusof, aviation analyst at Endau Analytics.

    In fact, China’s three largest carriers were among the first to press Boeing for compensation over the grounded planes.

    How are other businesses affected?

    Some suppliers, such as fuselage maker Spirit AeroSystems, are highly dependent on the jet, with half of its revenue attached to it, according to Mr Aboulafia.

    So far, the supplier has only said it is “working closely” with Boeing to determine what impact the production suspension may have.

    The move by Boeing is unlikely to affect passengers as airlines have leased additional aircraft to replace the 737 Max.

    It’s a different story for airlines, who have the added expense of leasing planes and managing their grounded aircraft.

    In July, Boeing set aside nearly $5bn to compensate those affected.

    However, that figure assumed that the 737 Max would fly again this year.

    Georgia Sen. David Perdue to quarantine with crucial runoff vote just days away – Fox News

    Sen. Perdue: Georgia is the last line of defense against Democrats’ radical socialist agenda

    Republican Sen. David Perdue says it’s ‘all hands on deck’ in Georgia ahead of the Senate runoff elections and pushes back on accusations of voter suppression on ‘Fox & Friends.’

    Republican Georgia Sen. David Perdue will quarantine after learning he was in contact with a staffer who tested positive for COVID-19, his campaign announced Thursday.

    Perdue, 71, learned of his potential exposure on Thursday morning, according to campaign officials. The quarantine will force Perdue to step back from the campaign trail with just days until Georgia’s crucial runoff vote.

    “Both Senator Perdue and his wife tested negative today, but following his doctor’s recommendations and in accordance with CDC guidelines, they will quarantine,” the Perdue campaign said in a statement. “The Senator and his wife have been tested regularly throughout the campaign, and the team will continue to follow CDC guidelines. Further information will be provided when available.”

    Video

    Perdue is locked in a tough race with Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff. It’s unclear how long the Georgia Republican will remain in quarantine. Perdue appeared at a campaign event as recently as Wednesday and was scheduled to attend an early vote concert with fellow Republican Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler Thursday afternoon.

    President Trump is set to hold a rally on behalf of Loeffler and Perdue Monday.

    The outcome of Georgia’s two Senate runoff races will determine which party controls the upper chamber of Congress. The vote is slated for Tuesday.

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announces impeachment inquiry over President Donald Trump’s efforts to get Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden.
    USA TODAY

    WASHINGTON— As House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump’s contact with the Ukrainian president, multiple 2020 Democratic presidential candidates switched their view on where they stand with impeachment or reiterated their belief that impeachment is the right path.

    Here are where the 2020 Democratic candidates currently stand on impeaching the president:

    Michael Bennet

    The senator from Colorado has called for more investigation into the president’s conduct and said Tuesday night that the “House is right to launch an impeachment inquiry … This administration cannot hide the truth.” 

    Joe Biden

    The former vice president has been trading words with Trump over the controversy, and on Tuesday called on Congress to begin impeachment proceedings if Trump does not comply with all of Congress’ request for information about the July call Trump had with Ukraine’s president. 

    “It’s time for this administration to stop stonewalling and provide the Congress with all the facts it needs,” Biden said. “It’s time for the Congress to fully investigate the conduct of this president. The president should stop stonewalling this investigation and all the other investigations into his alleged wrongdoing. Using its full Constitutional authority, Congress in my view should demand the information it has a legal right to receive.”

    Cory Booker

    The senator from New Jersey said Pelosi’s move forward is “our one remaining path to ensuring justice is served,” and has been a long time supporter of impeachment.

    Steve Bullock

    The Montana governor called on Congress to demand the whistleblower’s complaint that has in part led to the impeachment inquiry, saying in a statement if “they don’t get it, I see no other option than starting impeachment proceedings.” 

    Pete Buttigieg 

    The South Bend, Indiana, mayor continued his previously stated support of impeachment, using the news Tuesday to encourage his supporters to register to vote on National Registration Day via twitter.

    Julián Castro

    The former Housing and Urban Development secretary has long supported impeachment, and retweeted singer Lizzo cleverly tweeting “IM[peach emoji]MENT” with: Truth hurts, a nod to Lizzo’s smash hit single.

    John Delaney

    The former congressman had previously supported Pelosi waiting on an official impeachment inquiry and again followed the Speaker Tuesday, saying in a statement he believes Pelosi has “exercised extremely good judgment” and he agrees with her, reiterating that “she deserves our support.” 

    Tulsi Gabbard

    Representative Tulsi Gabbard went against the tide of her fellow 2020 contenders on impeachment, saying she doesn’t support it because it would be “terribly divisive”  for an “already very divided” country.”  

    Kamala Harris

    The California senator tweeted out a petition before Pelosi had announced formal proceedings, asking supporters to sign if they want to see movement towards impeachment. 

    “As a 2016 candidate, Donald Trump openly encouraged a foreign adversary to hack a political opponent and attack our elections. As President, he’s doing it again in broad daylight. We cannot stand for this abuse of power,” the petition reads.

    Amy Klobuchar

    The Minnesota senator tweeted that “the House did the right thing,” maintaining her previously stated support for an impeachment inquiry.

    Wayne Messam

    The Miramar, Florida, mayor tweeted Tuesday that “Many folks continue to demand impeachment proceedings for @POTUS, I’m on record as well.” 

    Beto O’Rourke

    The former congressman from Texas on Twitter called on his former colleagues to simply “finish the job and impeach him.”

    Tim Ryan

    The congressman from Ohio took to twitter to say: “Donald Trump showed us again that his true colors are more like a mob boss than a president. It’s time to impeach.”

    Bernie Sanders

    The Vermont senator tweeted Tuesday he believes Trump “is the most corrupt president in the modern history of this country. Enough is enough.”  

    He also said Tuesday he fears that if impeachment fails in the Senate, “I know and you know what [Trump] will do: ‘I am vindicated! … I am vindicated!’ And I think that is a fact that has to be taken into consideration.”

    Joe Sestak

    The former congressman and Naval officer said that if the allegations against Trump are true, “the constitutional duty of Congress is to investigate the outreach of America’s leader.” 

    Tom Steyer

    The billionaire reiterated his support for the impeachment movement. Steyer began calling for impeachment two years ago to “hold this lawless, criminal president accountable. We are finally at a watershed moment.” 

    Elizabeth Warren

    The Massachusetts Senator reiterated her longtime belief in impeaching the president, tweeting a video of her speaking on the floor of the Senate in May where she said “Congress must fulfill its Constitutional duty & begin impeachment proceedings against the President.” She also said “when it comes to the Senate, I will do what the Constitution requires.”

    Marianne Williamson: Williamson said Tuesday that she had previously been unsure of an impeachment inquiry because of the GOP stronghold on the Senate, as well as Trump possibly using the inquiry “make himself look like a victim.”

    However, “when a president has no qualms withholding aid from another country unless its government agrees to help him get dirt on his political opponents, America has a serious problem,” the author said in a statement. “Our president has apparently no respect for the demands, responsibilities, or the limits to his power.”

    “It is with no pleasure that I support an impeachment inquiry into the president. It is, however, with a deep belief that it is the right thing to do,” she added.

    Andrew Yang: Yang came forward on Tuesday via Twitter to say he now believes “impeachment is the right path forward. Asking foreign leaders for political help in return for aid and then suppressing your own agency’s inquiry is egregious,” but clarified that if impeachment doesn’t work in the Republican Senate, he plans to “beat Donald Trump at the ballot box in 2020.”

    “Sometimes you do the right thing independent of politics,” he continued.

    President Trump, for his part, has called the latest push for impeachment a “positive for me in the election.” 

    Trump’s campaign manager Brad Parscale called the Democrats impeachment strategy “misguided.”

    “Democrats can’t beat President Trump on his policies or his stellar record of accomplishment, so they’re trying to turn a Joe Biden scandal into a Trump problem,” Parscale said in a statement.

    ‘Salute to America’ Part 1: President Trump pays tribute to nation’s ‘extraordinary heritage’

    Trump addresses the nation from the Lincoln Memorial, tells Americans that they are part of one of the greatest stories ever told: the story of America.

    With the Lincoln Memorial in the background and flanked on both sides by camouflaged Bradley fighting vehicles, President Trump used his “Salute to America” speech Thursday evening to praise the men and women of the Armed Forces and American exceptionalism.

    Despite concerns from Democrats that he would use the Fourth of July event as a virtual campaign rally, Trump struck a largely nonpartisan tone during an address that paid tribute to the military by telling its history from the days of America’s founding – praising the spirit that “runs through the veins of every American patriot.”

    “Today, we come together as one nation with this very special Salute to America,” a smiling Trump said. “We celebrate our history, our people, and the heroes who proudly defend our flag — the brave men and women of the United States military.”

    From George Washington leading the Continental Army to the Apollo 11 moon landing, Trump rattled off a list of American accomplishments and inventions in the name of freedom, while slipping in a boast about his administration’s accomplishments.

    “Americans love our freedom and no one will ever take it away from us,” Trump said to chants of “U-S-A.” “Our nation is stronger today than it ever was before, it is stronger now, stronger than ever.”

    Video

    The president took the audience, on this rainy day in Washington, through the history of the Armed Forces, telling tales of valor on foreign soil in gripping detail.

    “Together we are part of one of the greatest stories ever told — the story of America,” Trump said. “It is the epic tale of a great nation whose people have risked everything for what they know is right.”

    “We’re Americans. Nothing is impossible,” Trump said.

    Trump followed his speech with an individual honor to each branch of the U.S. military — Coast Guard, Navy, Army, Air Force and Marines.

    Despite the cloudy skies, Trump’s speech was punctuated by flyovers by military aircraft ranging from the Air Forces F-22 Raptors and B-2 Stealth Bomber to the Navy’s F-18 Super Hornets and Army Apache helicopters.

    “Today, just as it did 243 years ago, the future of American Freedom rests on the shoulders of men and women willing to defend it,” Trump said. “As long as we stay true to our cause — as long as we remember our great history — and as long as we never stop fighting for a better future—then there will be nothing that America cannot do.”

    “We will never forget that we are Americans, and the future belongs to us,” he said. “We share one home, one heart and we are all made by one almighty God.”

    Trump’s speech was capped off with a performance by the Navy Blue Angels flight team.

    While Trump’s speech set a unifying tone, the lead-up to the event was marked by controversy – with Trump’s opponents slamming him on everything from the cost of the event to the perceived exploitation of the holiday for a political purpose.

    Rep. Betty McCollum, D-Minn., who is among the lawmakers overseeing the Interior Department, which has jurisdiction over the National Mall and federal parks, said it was “absolutely outrageous” that the administration will use park money to help defray Thursday’s event costs. The National Park Service plans to use nearly $2.5 million intended to help improve parks nationwide, The Washington Post reported late Tuesday, citing anonymous sources.

    “These fees are not a slush fund for this administration to use at will,” McCollum said in a statement. She promised a congressional hearing.

    Video

    Two outside groups, the National Parks Conservation Foundation and Democracy Forward, want the department’s internal watchdog to investigate what they say may be a “potentially unlawful decision to divert” national parks money to Trump’s “spectacle.”

    Former high-ranking members of the Armed Forces also weighed on Trump’s celebration, with retired U.S. Army Gen. Barry McCaffrey – a frequent critic of the president – calling the “Salute to America” “narcissistic” and that it will set up “another vile political fight.”

    “He’s turning it into a “narcissistic display for his own purpose,” McCaffrey said on MSNBC on Wednesday. “It undoubtedly is a political event which makes everyone uneasy in the Pentagon.”

    Video

    Trump defended the cost of the event on Wednesday, tweeting that cost “will be very little compared to what it is worth.”

    “We own the planes, we have the pilots, the airport is right next door (Andrews), all we need is the fuel,” he said, referring to Maryland’s Joint Base Andrews, home for some of the planes that are to fly over the Mall on Thursday. “We own the tanks and all. Fireworks are donated by two of the greats.”

    Washington has held an Independence Day celebration for decades, featuring a parade along Constitution Avenue, a concert on the Capitol lawn with music by the National Symphony Orchestra and fireworks beginning at dusk near the Washington Monument.

    Trump altered the lineup by adding his speech, moving the fireworks closer to the Lincoln Memorial and summoning the tanks and warplanes.

    Video

    Trump originally wanted a parade with military tanks and other machinery rolling through downtown Washington ever since he was enthralled by a two-hour procession of French military tanks and fighter jets in Paris on Bastille Day in July 2017. Later that year, Trump said he’d have a similar parade in Washington on the Fourth of July 2018, and would “top” the Paris show.

    The event ended up being pushed to Veterans Day, which conflicted with one of Trump’s trips abroad, before it was scuttled after cost estimates exceeding $90 million were made public.

    Gales se estrena con alegría – Noticias – UEFA.com – Uefa.com
    Gales se estrena con alegría – Noticias – UEFA.com – Uefa.com

    Gales y Eslovaquia debutaban en una fase final del Campeonato de Europa de la UEFA y la selección de Chris Coleman se llevó los tres puntos gracias al 2-1 que abrió el Grupo B de la UEFA EURO 2016. Gareth Bale adelantó a los suyos a los diez minutos, Duda igualó a 29 del final y el espigado Hal Robson-Kanu provocó el delirio de los galeses en el 81′ al empujar de forma poco ortodoxa un balón suelto tras una gran jugada de de Aaron Ramsey.

    En una sensación extraña para ambos, galeses y eslovacos saltaron al Stade de Bordeaux para escuchar por primera vez su himno nacional en un marco incomporable como una fase final del máximo torneo continental.






    Avisó primero Marek Hamšík tras romper a dos defensas con un recorte y soltar el disparo con la zurda, pero Danny Ward (que fue el titular por la baja de última hora de Wayne Hennessey) desvió a saque de esquina.

    En el minuto 10, Gareth Bale ensayó un libre directo y el meta Matúš Kozáčik dio un paso a la izquierda que evitó la posible parada. El futbolista del Real Madrid volvía a escena tras la final de la UEFA Champions League liderando a Gales.

    El propio Bale tuvo otra en el tiempo añadido, pero su zurdazo acabó mansamente en las manos de Kozáčik. Eslovaquia dio un paso adelante y ya en el segundo acto llegó el empate. Ondrej Duda entró en el minuto 60 y uno después no desaprovechó la excepcional jugada de Róbert Mak por la derecha.

    Coleman, cuando el partido pintaba mal, optó por dar entrada al espigado Robson-Kanu. En el 73′ sacó un centro con zurda desde el costado derecho que Ramsey cabeceó arriba y ocho después intercambiaron los papeles. El del Arsenal dejó sentado a Martin Škrtel y la pelota suelta fue rematada por Robson-Kanu.

    No fue el mejor disparo del delantero del Reading, pero sirvió para sumar la primera victoria de Gales en una fase final y afrontar la segunda jornada (frente a Inglaterra) con tres puntos y mucha moral. Adam Nemec disparó a la madera en el minuto 83 en el que pudo ser el empate.

    Jugador del partido: Joe Allen
    Con Gareth Bale como referencia ofensiva y Aaron Ramsey jugando unos metros por delante de la medular, sobre Joe Allen recaía la responsabilidad de ser el creador de juego para poder enlazar con las otras dos estrellas de Gales. Y no le pesó la presión. El del Liverpool jugó su rol a la perfección y fue el timón para que los de Chris Coleman se estrenasen con triunfo.

    Aspecto clave
    Con el empate de Eslovaquia, los galeses no se vinieron abajo y aguantaron en sus minutos más flojos. La entrada de Robson-Kanu dio oxígeno al ataque de Coleman y finalmente el ariete fue determinante para definir el envite.

    Kim Kardashian applauds New Zealand for proposing to change gun laws after shooting: ‘America take note!’ – Fox News
    Kim Kardashian applauds New Zealand for proposing to change gun laws after shooting: ‘America take note!’ – Fox News

    Kim Kardashian applauded New Zealand’s lawmakers for proposing to change the country’s gun laws following the mosque shootings that left at least 49 people dead.
    (AP)

    Reality television star Kim Kardashian applauded New Zealand after the country’s leaders announced gun laws would change in wake of Friday’s mosque shootings that left at least 49 people dead.

    Kardashian tweeted Saturday, “Just 24 hours after the Christchurch shooting New Zealand bans semiautomatic guns! America take note! Why can’t our elected officials put public safety over gun manufacturers’ profits?!?!”

    Following Friday’s shooting at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern vowed to change the country’s gun laws, though she didn’t immediately specify how.

    “I can tell you right now, our gun laws will change,” Ardern said. “Now is the time for change.”

    David Parker, the country’s attorney general, said New Zealand would ban semiautomatic weapons at a vigil Saturday but backtracked his comments later, The New York Times reported.

    “Those decisions have yet to be taken, but the Prime Minister has signaled that we are going to look at that issue,” Parker told Radio New Zealand.

    New Zealand citizens as young as 16, provided they pass a background check to get a firearms license, can possess a long gun. They can get one for hunting, pest control or sports shooting, but self-defense is not considered a valid reason to own a firearm.

    KIM KARDASHIAN ADVOCATES FOR ALICE JOHNSON, CYNTOIA BROWN, OTHERS WHO ARE JAILED

    This is not the first time Kardashian has called for gun control in the U.S.

    Following the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February 2018, the social media personality called on Congress to do their job.

    “We owe it to our children and our teachers to keep them safe while at school,” she tweeted. “Prayers won’t do this: action will. Congress, please do your job and protect Americans from senseless gun violence.”

    NC sheriff to ask court to release bodycam footage of Andrew Brown shooting | TheHill – The Hill
    NC sheriff to ask court to release bodycam footage of Andrew Brown shooting | TheHill – The Hill

    A North Carolina sheriff will ask a court to release body camera footage of the police shooting of Andrew Brown Jr. in Elizabeth City.

    Pasquotank County Sheriff Thomas S. Wooten said in a video statement posted to Facebook on Saturday that the county hoped to ask a court to release the footage Monday.

    Wooten said he wanted to ensure that releasing the footage would not compromise an ongoing investigation from the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation into the shooting. 

    “People have falsely claimed that my office has the power to do so, that is not true, only a judge can release the video,” Wooten said.

    “That’s why I’ve asked the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation to confirm for me that the releasing of the video will not undermine their investigation,” he continued. “Once I get that confirmation, our county will file a motion in court, hopefully Monday, to have the footage released.”

    The announcement comes after activists and politicians pressed for the release of the video of Wednesday’s shooting.

    Brown was fatally shot as deputies attempted to serve an arrest warrant for felony drug charges. A car pulled away from the scene, and the deputies fired shots at the car.

    Seven deputies have since been placed on administrative leave.

    North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) called on body camera footage to be released on Twitter Friday, stating that  “initial reports of the shooting in Elizabeth City and death of Andrew Brown, Jr. this week are tragic and extremely concerning.

    “The body camera footage should be made public as quickly as possible and the SBI should investigate thoroughly to ensure accountability,” he tweeted.

    According to The Raleigh News and Observer, the Elizabeth City Council voted on Friday to ask the sheriff and district attorney to support a judge releasing the footage.

    Brown’s death came a day after a jury in Minneapolis found former police officer Derek Chauvin guilty of murder and manslaughter for the death of George Floyd last May.

    It also comes after police in Ohio released footage of the fatal shooting of Ma’Khia Bryant, a 16-year-old Black girl who was shot after police were called amid an an altercation between several people. 

    Floyd and Bryant’s deaths, along with the deaths of other Americans of color have brought the issue of police reform to the forefront of national politics.
