El ministro de Transportes y Comunicaciones, Bruno Giuffra, anunció en RPP Noticias un acuerdo para resolver el contrato de la construcción del Aeropuerto Internacional de Chinchero por mutuo disenso con el consorcio Kuntur Wasi . La obra no parará tras la decisión. El Estado iniciará el movimiento de tierras mientras se licita el terminal aéreo.

“Se ha acordado ir por la ruta del mutuo disenso. Tenemos que mirar adelante y llegar a un acuerdo con Kuntur Wasi. Nosotros avanzaremos con la parte inicial de la obra pública para el movimiento de tierras”, explicó Giuffra en Ampliación de Noticias.

¿Qué significa la decisión del Gobierno?

1. El consorcio Kuntur Wasi no participará en la construcción y operación del Aeropuerto Internacional de Chinchero (AIC)

2. En el menor plazo posible se iniciará el movimiento de tierras para la construcción del AIC. El movimiento de tierras se realizará bajo la modalidad de licitación de obra pública.

3. Mientras dure la etapa de Movimiento de Tierras, el gobierno estudiará la modalidad óptima para la construcción (obra civil) y operación del AIC, no retrasando de esta manera la ejecución de este proyecto.

El contrato se firmó el 4 de julio de 2014 por el Gobierno de Ollanta Humala. Le siguió una adenda en noviembre de 2016 donde el Estado asumiría US$ 265 millones de la construcción. Cuestionamientos a la obra, incluido uno de la Contraloría, propiciaron la renuncia de Martín Vizcarra al MTC el 22 de mayo.

Federal Judge Rules All-Male Military Draft Unconstitutional – TIME
Federal Judge Rules All-Male Military Draft Unconstitutional – TIME

An all-male draft has been ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge in Texas, declaring that the “time has passed” for debating the role of women in the army.

“While historical restrictions on women in the military may have justified past discrimination, men and women are now ‘similarly situated for purposes of a draft or registration for a draft,’” wrote U.S. District Judge Gray Miller of the Southern District of Texas. “If there ever was a time to discuss ‘the place of women in the Armed Services,’ that time has passed,” Miller wrote.

The ruling follows a lawsuit brought by the National Coalition for Men, a men’s rights group, arguing the all-male draft was unfair.

The U.S. has had an all-volunteer military since the draft ended in 1973, but remains ready to resume the draft if necessary. Currently, all American men must register with the Selective Service System (SSS) for that purpose within 30 days of their 18th birthday.

The ruling was made as a declaration and not an injunction, which means the court did not specify how Congress should go about changing the SSS, USA Today reports.

Restrictions for women in military service were ended by the Pentagon in 2015, according to USA Today.

“The average woman could conceivably be better suited physically for some of today’s combat positions than the average man,” wrote Miller, noting that Congress has never fully reviewed whether men are physically better able to serve than women. “Combat roles no longer uniformly require sheer size or muscle.”

“Yes, to some extent this is symbolic, but it does have some real-world impact,” Marc Angelucci, the lawyer for the National Coalition of Men, told USA Today. “Either they need to get rid of the draft registration, or they need to require women to do the same thing that men do.”

Trump blames market meltdown on "Fake News," conspiracy of "weenies" – Salon
Trump blames market meltdown on "Fake News," conspiracy of "weenies" – Salon

President Trump responded to a tanking stock market, a global economic slowdown and an inverted yield curve by suggesting there was a conspiracy by economists and the media to make him look bad.

Trump tried to blame this week’s stock market slide, which was triggered by worries of a coming recession, on the media.

“The Fake News Media is doing everything they can to crash the economy because they think that will be bad for me and my re-election,” Trump declared on Twitter. “The problem they have is that the economy is way too strong and we will soon be winning big on Trade, and everyone knows that, including China!”

Trump’s prediction that “we will soon be winning big on trade” betrays the current reality: The United States is not winning on trade. His escalating trade war with China has wreaked havoc on the stock market and economists worry it has increased the risk of a recession. Meanwhile, the trade deficit with China has actually been increasing and the trade deficit with Europe is now higher than when Trump took office. The money raised by his tariffs on China are not even enough to cover the taxpayer-funded bailout of farmers hit hard by the trade war and taxpayers have also been hit with big price increases on countless products.

While blaming the media to the public, Trump has privately accused economists of conspiring against him by releasing bad numbers to make him look bad.

“He’s rattled,” a Republican source close to the administration told the Washington Post. “He thinks that all the people that do this economic forecasting are a bunch of establishment weenies — elites who don’t know anything about the real economy and they’re against Trump.”

Except it isn’t just “establishment weenies” sounding the alarm. A survey of American manufacturers found that production is at its lowest since Trump took office, with many blaming his tariffs. Farmers in the Midwest are going broke at record rates, with Trump’s trade war driving many out of business. More than 50 coal plants and eight coal companies have closed since Trump took office. Job creation under Trump is more than 800,000 short of the job growth during the first two and a half years of Obama’s presidency, while the tax cuts he claimed would pay for themselves have added trillions to the national debt. More than 70 percent of American corporate CEOs expect a recession before the end of Trump’s first term.

Trump’s denial of the economic realities that could imperil not just his re-election campaign but millions of workers has spread to his top economic advisers. Larry Kudlow, the former CNBC pundit Trump hired to be the director of the National Economic Council, shrugged off worries of a looming recession.

“Nobody likes to see market volatility. I get that. You get bears coming out of the woodwork. I get that. But we’ve been through that before,” Kudlow told the Post. 

It’s worth noting that ahead of the 2008 recession, Kudlow called economists who predicted a coming recession “bubbleheads.”

“There’s no recession coming. The pessimistas were wrong. It’s not going to happen,” he wrote in December 2007. “The Bush boom is alive and well. It’s finishing up its sixth consecutive year with more to come. Yes, it’s still the greatest story never told.”

The Post reported that Trump advisers “acknowledge that they have not planned for a possible recession” and are instead “delivering the president upbeat assessments in which they argue that the domestic economy is stronger than many forecasters are making it out to be.”

Lawrence Summers, the former treasury secretary who served as the National Economic Council director under Obama, warned that it was vital for the administration to prepare for a possible recession but noted that Trump has surrounded himself with economists with no credibility in the event a downturn does hit.

“Ludicrous forecasts and economically illiterate statements have dissipated the credibility of the president’s economic team,” Summers told the Post. “It’s banana republic standard to deny the statistics, bash the central bank, try to push the currency down and lash out at foreign countries.”

Despite a no good, horrible, very bad week for the U.S. economy, and the fact that his team has taken no steps to prepare for a possible recession, Trump bragged to his supporters at a New Hampshire rally on Thursday that the economy would tank if anyone but him is elected in 2020.

“You have no choice but to vote for me, because your 401(k)’s down the tubes, everything’s gonna be down the tubes,” Trump told rally-goers in Manchester. “So whether you love me or hate me, you gotta vote for me.”

Wisconsin Republicans seek to hobble newly elected Democrat – BBC News

The contentious legislative session last nine hours

Wisconsin Republicans have provoked uproar by limiting the power of a newly elected Democratic governor.

If signed by outgoing Republican Governor Scott Walker, the bills will curb the authority of incoming Democrat Tony Evers and his attorney general.

Protesters have been demonstrating at the state capitol in Madison for days, accusing Republicans of trying to rig the system.

But state Republicans say the bills only seek to balance power.

In the neighbouring Midwestern state of Michigan, another Republican-controlled legislature is considering the passage of similar laws to hobble newly elected Democrats.

If outgoing Gov Scott Walker approves the bills, the new governor’s power will be limited

The controversy mirrors what took place in North Carolina in 2016 after an incumbent Republican governor was defeated by a Democrat.

In a nine-hour, all-night session that began on Tuesday, Wisconsin Republicans in the state Senate pushed through a number of proposals that would limit the governor and attorney general roles.

The party lost both positions to Democrats in the mid-term elections on 6 November.

If Mr Walker approves the bills – and he has indicated support for the measures – his successor will be forced to seek permission from the legislature before seeking changes to various programmes.

Furthermore, the bills limit the governor’s ability to address early voting and voter ID laws.

These are crucial provisions in a presidential swing state that President Donald Trump only narrowly won in 2016.

And the attorney general would no longer have the ability to remove the state from federal lawsuits.

That power, along with others, would go instead to the state legislative branch, still Republican-dominated.

It would prevent Mr Evers and attorney general-elect Josh Kaul from making good on campaign promises such as removing the state from a lawsuit against the Obama-era Affordable Care Act.

The state Senate approved 81 people for boards, authorities and councils during the same overnight session.

Democrat Tony Evers won the gubernatorial race by 30,000 or so votes

Governor Walker also approved a judge and two district attorneys.

Protesters were cleared from the Senate galleries just after the session began. They chanted: “Shame!”

In a statement on Wednesday, Mr Evers said “power-hungry politicians” had pushed the changes through to “override the will of the people of Wisconsin who asked for change”.

But Republicans say the changes are blown out of proportion and ensure Wisconsin’s government is evenly balanced.

Republican Robin Vos, Speaker of the Wisconsin State Assembly, said on Twitter that “Democrats have been exaggerating and resorting to hyperbole”.

“The vote is about ensuring equal branches of government exist in Wisconsin, especially during this time of divided government.”

Democrats countered that the other party made no such objection when a Republican governor was in power.

Republicans have controlled Wisconsin for eight years.

Mr Evers won the gubernatorial race against Mr Walker by a margin of less than 30,000 votes.

If the bills are challenged via lawsuits, the government could face gridlock next year.

Was North Korean leader Kim’s slain half brother a CIA source? – USA TODAY
Was North Korean leader Kim’s slain half brother a CIA source? – USA TODAY

Kim Jong Nam, the half brother of North Korea’s leader who was murdered in a Malaysia airport two years ago, was a Central Intelligence Agency source who met on several occasions with agency operatives, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The Journal, citing a “person knowledgeable about the matter,” said Kim Jong Nam met with CIA agents on multiple occasions and also likely had a relationship with Chinese intelligence officials.

South Korea’s National Intelligence Service and Unification Ministry said Tuesday it could not confirm the report. The CIA declined to comment on the matter when contacted by USA TODAY.

The Journal said Kim Jong Nam had traveled to Malaysia in February 2017 to meet his CIA contact. He was walking through the airport in Kuala Lumpur when he was attacked by two women who smeared VX nerve gas on his face.

The women were accused of colluding with a group of North Korean men who slipped out of Malaysia during the investigation. Charges ultimately were dropped against the women, who told authorities they were paid for what they believed was a stunt for a TV show.

U.S. and South Korean authorities have blamed North Korea for the murder, but Malaysia never made a formal finding on the matter.

The month of June in North Korea is known as the “Struggle Against U.S. Imperialism Month” and it’s a time for North Koreans to swarm to war museums, mobilize for gatherings denouncing the evils of the United States and join in a general, nationwide whipping up of the anti-American sentiment. Wong Maye-E, AP

Kim Jong Nam was the oldest son of Kim Jong Il, the despot leader of North Korea for 17 years until his death in 2011. Kim Jong Nam at one time was considered his father’s likely successor before falling out of favor. In recent years he had developed a reputation for living a playboy lifestyle.

Reports of assassinations and purges are not uncommon in North Korea. Five officials were reportedly executed last month for their rolls in a failed summit between North Korea Leader Kim Jong Un and President Trump. Days later, however, senior official Kim Hyok Chol was shown in state media sitting near Kim at a concert.

Philadelphia deputy health commissioner resigns following COVID bidding controversy – Fox News
Philadelphia deputy health commissioner resigns following COVID bidding controversy – Fox News

Fox News Flash top headlines for January 30

Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what’s clicking on Foxnews.com.

Philadelphia Deputy Health Commissioner Dr. Caroline Johnson has resigned after a report found she was unfairly giving a vaccine bidding advantage to Philly Fighting COVID, the city’s largest vaccine distribution site.

The Philadelphia Inquirer obtained records revealing special treatment that Andrei Doroshin, CEO of Philly Fighting COVID, received by Johnson, undisclosed to other Health Department officials.

PHILADELPHIA SORTING COVID-19 VACCINATIONS AFTER SEVERING TIES WITH ‘COLLEGE STUDENTS’ RUNNING DISTRIBUTION

In an email obtained by the publication, Johnson reached out to Doroshin in December, regarding a city program that enabled agencies and organizations to apply, and potentially  be able to administer the vaccine.

Though the proposal had already been publically posted, health officials were not permitted to selectively encourage individuals to apply to the program.

“[T]hese actions were inappropriate because the information shared was not available to all potential applicants,” Health Department spokesperson James Garrow said in a statement to the publication Saturday. “While these actions may have been intended to help advance the City’s vaccine distribution effort, the Health Commissioner has accepted her resignation in the best interest of the city.”

Philly Fighting COVID did submit an application, along with eight other organizations in the city, though none of the applications have been reviewed at the this time, noted The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Doroshin first hit headlines when the 22-year old pitched a $2.7 million proposal to the Philadelphia City Council as a way to expand vaccinations city wide, reported NPR Friday.

The 22-year old CEO had a deal with Philadelphia Department of Public Health and the mayor’s office by Jan. 9 – though the city never signed a contract with Doroshin, they did hand over a portion of Philadelphia’s allotted vaccine doses.

NYC NURSING HOME RESIDENT WHO WAS DENIED A VACCINE DIES OF COVID-19

Philly Fighting COVID became the city’s first mass vaccination clinic earlier this year.

But controversy quickly erupted around the young CEO, after a nurse claimed on twitter she saw him take home a “Ziplock bag-full of vaccines.”

Doroshin then admitted to the TODAY Show that he in fact took four vaccines home and administered them to his friends.

He justified his actions by saying he didn’t want the vaccines to go to waste.

“I stand by that decision,” he said. “I understand I made that mistake. That is my mistake to carry for the rest of my life. But it is not the mistake of the organization.”

The city did not provide any funding for the Philly Fighting COVID start up, nor have they yet allocated any funds for the program that would allow other organizations in Philadelphia the ability to administer vaccines.

City officials severed ties with Philly Fighting COVID earlier this week.

Saturday’s resignation of the Deputy Health Commissioner is just the latest debacle as city officials attempt to tackle the coronavirus pandemic.

Turkey’s lira slides as President Erdogan’s party suffers pivotal losses – CNBC
Turkey’s lira slides as President Erdogan’s party suffers pivotal losses – CNBC

Emerging Markets



Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party (AK Party) has lost the capital Ankara and looks set to lose the commercial hub of Istanbul after 25 years in power in both cities, as Sunday’s municipal election results — largely seen as a referendum on the president himself — roll in.

The Turkish lira fell sharply at the opening of London trade on Monday, the latest rout after a turbulent week that saw Turkey’s overnight swap rate shoot up as high as 1,200 percent as the central bank tried to shore up the currency.

The lira sunk at roughly 8:30 a.m London time Monday after the country’s election board said the opposition party was ahead in Istanbul’s mayoral election, briefly trading at $5.6913. But by 1:00 p.m. the currency had regained those losses and was trading at $5.5212.

The currency had traded at 5.61 to the dollar after the initial results came in on Sunday evening, compared with 5.55 at Friday’s close. The country’s BIST 100 stock index was down 1.65 percent in the morning session, after falling more than 7 percent last week.

“The events of the last 12 to 18 months have caused a lot of grief to the business community, the financial services, and also the investors and their confidence.”
-Sanjay Uppal, CEO, StraitsBridge Advisors

Markets now fear that the electoral losses will push Erdogan to double down on populist policies that helped send the currency tanking last year, when his interference in central bank independence held interest rates down despite soaring inflation and sent investors running for the hills. Last year saw the lira lose as much as 40 percent of its value against the dollar, although it had trimmed some of those losses by year end.

The victories claimed by the opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) are a formidable blow to the ruling right-wing AK Party — particularly the expected loss of Istanbul, where Erdogan first made his political debut as city mayor in the 1990s. Still, the AK Party and its far-right coalition partner the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) secured more than 50 percent of the national vote and won a majority of Istanbul’s districts.



“It appears that the worsening economic condition of the household had a say on the results,” Can Selçuki, general manager of Istanbul Economics Research, told CNBC on Monday morning.

“A combination of economic conditions and candidates that has appeal to both sides of the aisle has helped the opposition to win a number of large cities including Ankara, Adana, Mersin, Antalya and very likely Istanbul.”

Market will look for reforms

Voters went to the polls with a major concern at the top of their list: the economy. Given this, the results shouldn’t take anyone by surprise, said Sanjay Uppal, CEO of StraitsBridge Advisors.

“The events of the last 12 to 18 months have caused a lot of grief to the business community, the financial services, and also the investors and their confidence,” Uppal told CNBC’s “Capital Connection” on Monday.

“On the back of this, the current reforms so far haven’t delivered a message that would bring that confidence back … So the populace has voted for an alternative to balance out the national government.”

Turkey’s economy fell into a recession last year, and unemployment is now around 13 percent, nearly a decade high. Inflation sat at 19.7 in February — though that’s the first time it’s dropped below 20 percent since August.



“The market will now want to see what reforms the AKP is going to roll out, after the new promises made by Erdogan,” Timothy Ash, senior emerging markets strategist at Bluebay Asset Management, commented in an email note Monday, noting that the president will remain powerful and well-supported among his more religious and rural base.

“The actual election results don’t change that much, Turkey still faces huge economic challenges based around a loss of confidence in policy making,” he said.

“First and foremost confidence in economic policy making has to be rebuilt to stop the trend of rising dollarization … AKP government (is) over 50 percent nationally, promising reform, and they now have to deliver otherwise markets will punish Turkey brutally. That is the lesson from recent months.”

Rebuilding credibility will be crucial

The drop in the lira has led to the weakening of consumer purchasing power and caused acute pain for Turkish banks and businesses with high dollar-denominated debt — reports have put the volume of Turkey’s foreign-currency denominated corporate debt at 50 percent of the country’s GDP (gross domestic product).

Erdogan is credited with transforming Turkey’s economy into a powerhouse in the early 2000s, drawing unprecedented foreign investment and creating more than 1 million jobs. But recent years have seen the leader adopt a more populist and nationalist bent, featuring various diplomatic spats with Western allies, while consolidating executive power through constitutional changes and a heavy crackdown on dissent.

Turkey’s large current account deficit, its shrinking foreign exchange reserves, and relations with key Western allies remain top challenges for the country — the lira is set to remain “on the front line over the next few weeks” until the government resolves those issues, Ash said.

And the central bank’s efforts to prop up the currency will run out of steam as it’s already burned through one-third of its foreign reserves in the first three weeks of March alone.

“(Turkish Finance Minister) Albayrak has to come up with a program to convince markets and importantly locals that the current management team know what they are doing, rebuilding credibility in the process,” Ash said. “If they are not able to do this under their own steam, then it is hard to imagine a scenario where they can avoid going to the IMF.”

Houston deputy killed, suspect on the run after shooting during traffic stop, deputies say – KSAT San Antonio

HOUSTON – A Houston deputy was shot and killed during a traffic stop overnight and the man responsible is still on the run, according to authorities.

Cpl. Charles Galloway, 47 and a 12-year veteran with Precinct 5, died around 12:45 a.m. Sunday in the 9100 block of Beechnut Street, according to a report from KSAT’s sister station, KPRC.

Galloway tried to conduct a traffic stop on a white Toyota Avalon. However, the situation escalated when the driver got out of the vehicle and immediately fired gunshots toward Galloway and his patrol vehicle, Houston Police Chief Troy Finner tells KPRC.

The man then got back into his vehicle and left the scene. There’s currently no description of the man; however, deputies said he’s driving a newer-model Toyota Avalon.

Everything to know about Trump’s Wildwood rally. Parking, security, standing in line. – NJ.com
Everything to know about Trump’s Wildwood rally. Parking, security, standing in line. – NJ.com

If you are headed to President Donald Trump’s “Keep America Great Rally” in Wildwood on Tuesday Jan. 28, here is some important information that you should know before you go.

The rally is scheduled to take place at the Wildwoods Convention Center. The address is 4501 Boardwalk, Wildwood. Doors will open at 3 p.m. The rally itself will take place from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m, with President Trump scheduled to speak at 7 p.m.

The event is first-come, first-serve. Having a ticket does not guarantee entry inside the convention center, which can hold about 7,500 people. The entrance will be through the front doors of the center only.

To get in line for the rally and into the event area — which will be restricted — attendees should go through the gate at Fox Park near Atlantic Avenue and be prepared to go through security.

People will be allowed to get in line, inside the event perimeter, beginning Monday at 6 p.m. A line was already forming outside Fox Park on Sunday afternoon.

President Trump will be landing at the Atlantic City Airport and his motorcade is expected to go along the Garden State Parkway, and down to the convention center. Expect intermittent road closures and delays as the motorcade makes it way to the rally.

Drivers should be warned there are some road closures and construction that will affect them. Rio Grande Avenue over George Redding Bridge — the main way into Wildwood — is down to one lane in each direction due to an ongoing construction project. Another way to access the island is through Route 147, or North Wildwood Boulevard into North Wildwood.

If anyone is taking Route 47 as one of the ways to the shore, the area of between Indian Trail Road and Springers Mill Road in Middle Township is closed. Construction crews are repairing a sinkhole.

There will be road closures around the convention center itself, which were expected to start Monday.

Parking in the area will be tight. A number of parking lots around the convention will not be available because the roads to access them will be closed. A number of private parking lots may be open and charge to park in those locations. People who live in the city will not be allowed to charge people to park on their lawns. Also, none of the parking meters on the streets will be turned on.

There will be a limited amount of handicapped parking in the parking lot located at Hand and Ocean Avenues, near the Wildwood sign.

For anyone who is taking a ride-sharing service or is being dropped off in a personal vehicle, the drop-off location will be the 4600 block of New Jersey Avenue. It will be a two-block walk in the eastbound direction to reach Fox Park.

The drop-off area for attendees with disabilities will be at Rio Grande and Ocean Avenues. The people are asked to access the drop-off area by going down Hand Avenue.

The entrance to the event site will be at Fox Park. The entire event site area, extending two blocks west and then about eight blocks south, will be restricted and that perimeter could change, police said.

There’s a specific list of items that will be banned from inside the convention center and a different list of what is banned in the event area outside.

Inside the event area, the following items are prohibited: Alcoholic beverages, backpacks, coolers, drones, firearms, selfie sticks, umbrellas, weapons of any kind, aerosols, mace, pepper spray, packages, explosives, glass containers.

Signs are permitted but no sticks or poles attached to them. Chairs are allowed inside the event area but not inside the convention center. Any of these items that are found will be confiscated and not returned:

Inside, the following items are banned: aerosols, ammunition, non-service animals, backpacks and bags exceeding size restrictions, balloons, bicycles, coolers, drones, explosives, firearms, glass metal or thermal containers, laser pointers, mace/pepper spray, packages, selfie sticks, structures, supports for signs, toy guns, weapons.

Wildwood Police Chief Robert Regalbuto also “strongly urges” attendees outside and inside the rally to not bring any excess baggage, including backpacks, chairs or pets.

Public restrooms will be open on the boardwalk at Youngs Avenue and Leaming Avenue as well as the Doo Wop Museum at Fox park. Portable restrooms will also be set up within the event area.

Updated at 7:43 p.m. ET

Florida’s surge of COVID-19 cases shows no signs of slowing down. The state Department of Heath reported Florida set another daily record Thursday, with 10,109 cases, surpassing Saturday’s record of 9,585 cases. That brings Florida’s total confirmed coronavirus cases to nearly 170,000 and a death toll of 3,617 (with 67 new deaths reported Thursday).

The new record continues a marked upturn in cases that began last month, weeks after Florida started allowing businesses to reopen. Gov. Ron DeSantis has defended that decision, saying that for most of April and May, the number of new cases and the percentage of those testing positive for the virus remained low. But then, DeSantis said, he believes Floridians became complacent. “After Memorial Day, when it fell out of the news,” he said, “people kind of just thought, it was over.”

On Thursday, he met with Vice President Pence and other federal officials in Tampa. Speaking afterward, Pence thanked DeSantis for his leadership in combating the coronavirus and in reopening Florida’s economy. “It’s not an either-or choice,” Pence said. “The economic comeback that’s underway is a demonstration that we don’t have to choose between opening America and the health of our people. We can do both.”

DeSantis has resisted calls for a statewide order requiring face coverings for people in public places. As the numbers of COVID-19 cases have risen, many counties and cities have adopted rules making face coverings mandatory.

One of the most recent to do so is Jacksonville, which is set to host President Trump’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in August.

Asked whether it will be safe for people over 65 or with underlying health conditions to attend the convention, Pence didn’t answer directly. “We’re excited about coming to Jacksonville,” he said. “I was at a meeting not long ago when I heard about very sophisticated plans to make sure it’s a safe and healthy environment.”

In Tampa, DeSantis was asked if he had any “personal responsibility” for the recent surge in COVID-19 cases in Florida, while other states such as New York and New Jersey were seeing cases decline. “Well, do you give credit for Florida for having a much lower fatalities per 100,000 than all the states you just praised?” DeSantis shot back. “We have fewer fatalities than some of these states have just in nursing homes.”

At DeSantis’ direction, Florida has rolled back part of its reopening, closing all bars in the state last week to all but takeout business. Florida took that action as an increasing number of young people became infected with the virus and several bars closed voluntarily. To avoid encouraging large crowds, local governments in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties have ordered beaches closed through the July Fourth weekend.

And on Thursday night, Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Giménez announced a countywide daily curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. until further notice. He also rolled back the opening of entertainment facilities such as movie theaters, arcades, casinos, adult entertainment, concert houses and bowling alleys, effective Friday.

“This curfew is meant to stop people from venturing out and hanging out with friends in groups, which has shown to be spreading the virus rapidly,” he said.

DeSantis said he believes these measures are reminding residents they need to be careful. “Now, people understand, this thing doesn’t just go away,” he said. “You can do a lot of things if you take some small precautions.”

The rising numbers of coronavirus cases have raised questions about DeSantis’ leadership and his close ties to Trump, whom he consulted before allowing businesses to begin reopening.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Donna Shalala, who represents parts of Miami, said, “In their rush to reopen, they’ve put politics ahead of public health.”

Shalala said DeSantis made a mistake by not acting sooner to shut the state down. “We needed at the beginning to hit this virus with a hammer, to starve it all the way down,” she said. “We didn’t do the right thing in the beginning, and now we’re trying to play catch-up.”

Cuando tenía 20 años, Jill Dodd vivió una relación muy distinta a las que terminan en “y se casaron y vivieron muy felices” que se escriben para el cine en su nativa Los Ángeles.

El pasado de la empresaria y diseñadora Jill Dodd, fundadora de la marca internacional de ropa deportiva Roxy, es sin duda exótico. Su vida tuvo un giro inesperado un fin de semana a principios de los ochenta, cuando con 20 años trabajaba como modelo en París. Le reveló a la BBC un mundo que pocos conocemos.

Todo empezó con una invitación a una fiesta…

“Mi agente me llamó para preguntarme si yo quería ir a Monte Carlo con ella y le dije ‘¡Sí… maravilloso!’. La noche que llegamos fuimos a una fiesta loquísima”.

El lugar era Le Pirate, donde camareros de pelo largo y sin camisa tocaban guitarra mientras una fogata crepitante, de seis metros de altura, iluminaba el cielo.

“Un ‘pirata’ me entregó una copa de champán. Me lo tomé y tiré la copa al fuego, como los demás invitados. Todo era tan salvaje y decadente. Quería bailar y vi a un hombre sentado en la mesa que parecía inofensivo: era como el papá de una amiga. Nos miramos y empezamos a bailar alrededor de la fogata”.

“Mientras estábamos bailando, mi agente se acercó y me preguntó si sabía con quién estaba bailando. Le contesté que no, que no me importaba. Me dijo: ‘Adnan Khashoggi’ y le pregunté: ‘¿Qué es Adnan Khashoggi?’… no le entendí nada“.

Khashoggi era un multimillonario saudita, comerciante de armas y conocido por su papel en algunos de los más famosos escándalos de los ochenta, entre ellos el Irán-Contra o Irangate, (1985 y 1986), en el cual Estados Unidos, bajo el gobierno de Ronald Reagan, le vendió armas al gobierno iraní que estaba en guerra con Irak y financió el movimiento Contra nicaragüense, dos operaciones prohibidas por el Senado. Khashoggi fue un intermediario clave.

A finales de los 80, Khashoggi fue extraditado a EE.UU. para ser juzgado por establecer negocios ilegales con Ferdinand Marcos de Filipinas. En la foto se le ve al salir de la cárcel en Nueva York tras pagar la fianza de US$10 millones. En 1990 fue absuelto.

Escrito con sangre

“Cuando nos sentamos, él me subió la manga y escribió “Te amo” en mi brazo en letras grandes y rojas”.

“Al principio no me di cuenta de que lo había escrito con sangre”.

“Me senté para tratar de entender lo que acababa de pasar (…)

Estaba perdida en mi propio mundo, mareada por el alcohol y rodeada de extraños en este loco lugar. Lo único que hacía era mirar mi brazo (…)

Me gustó que escribiera ‘Te amo’. No me lo limpié“

Jill Dodd en su libro “The currency of love” (La moneda del amor)

“Me pareció divertido. Cuando bailamos era tan inocente, infantil y divertido. Y cuando hizo eso me pareció que era muy imaginativo. La gente hace cosas locas en Europa en las fiestas… escandalosas, a veces”.

“Al final de la noche, mi agente me dijo que Adnan quería que fuera a su bote a tomar café. Le contesté que lo único que quería era irme a dormir”. Me dijo: ‘Pero es ese bote que ves allá’, señalando hacia el Mediterráneo. Ahí estaba un barco que parecía un transatlántico… yo nunca había visto un barco tan grande“.

El yate de Khashoggi era el más grande del mundo en esa época y fue usado en la película de James Bond “Nunca digas nunca”. Cuando tuvo problemas financieros se lo vendió al Sultán de Brunei quien a su vez se lo vendió a Donald Trump.

Jill no fue a tomar café esa noche, pero aceptó una invitación a cenar la noche siguiente.

A bordo

“El barco era enorme. Tenía al menos diez habitaciones, una discoteca, un hospital en el que se podía hacer cirugía a corazón abierto (…) Cuando llegamos nos preguntó si nos queríamos cambiar de ropa y nos llevó a un cuarto repleto de trajes de noche de alta costura. Me impresionó”.

“Tras una elegante cena me preguntó si quería que me mostrara el barco. Fuimos a su cuarto: la cama estaba cubierta de pieles, las manijas de las puertas eran de oro y tenía paredes estilo James Bond que rotaban para revelar habitaciones ocultas… me pareció que todo era una gran máquina ingeniosa”.

Una máquina cuyo siguiente dueño fue Donald Trump, el actual presidente de Estados Unidos.

“Adnan se comportaba como si realmente quisiera saber quién era yo y cuáles eran mis intereses. Nos sentamos a charlar por horas. Aunque me dijo: ‘Tengo que ser honesto: sé todo sobre ti. Tuve que investigarte por razones de seguridad'”.

“Sabía dónde había nacido, que mi papá era bombero, en qué había trabajado… una persona normal se habría quedado atónita pero yo no era muy rápida juzgando a la gente”, recuerda.

“Después de esa noche, yo definitivamente quería volverlo a ver, pero no sabía si alguna vez sucedería. ¿Sabes cómo a veces conoces personas que te parecen familiares, como si las hubieras conocido antes, y no sabes por qué pero todo encaja?”.

“Además, me dejó una buena impresión el que no hubiera tratado de besarme. Eso hizo que pensara más en él”. Y así continuó la relación por un tiempo, sin que hubiera nada físico.

Jill se ganaba la vida como modelo en París.

Esposa de placer

“Estábamos con un grupo en Marbella y Adnan aún no había llegado. Una noche me despertó, me tomó de la mano y me llevó a su suite. Empezamos a hablar y de repente preguntó: ‘¿Te gustaría un baño de espuma?’. Me metí a la bañera, él se sentó en el borde y charlamos.

“Luego fuimos a su recámara y para entonces yo quería besarlo. Pero dijo: ‘No puedo besarte hasta que aceptes un contrato’. No entendía de qué estaba hablando. Me explicó: ‘Yo no me caso de la manera tradicional’. Se comparó con la realeza en Arabia Saudita y otros hombres poderosos que tienen permitido tener tres esposas legales y 11 esposas de placer.

“‘Me gustaría que fueras mi esposa de placer. Hagamos un contrato de 5 años. Yo me encargaré de ti, me podrás contactar en cualquier momento, si quieres verme enviaré el avión. Podrás salir con otros hombres…’, así me propuso matrimonio de placer”.

“A mí no me importaba todo eso. Yo quería ser independiente… y quería besarlo”.

Yo era unos 12 cms. más alta que él, su cabeza era redonda y calva y tenía barriga… ¡A mí me parecía adorable!”

El contrato no era escrito, sino verbal. Con un beso quedó sellado y Jill se convirtió en su esposa de placer.

“Eso significaba que yo tenía su estilo de vida cuando estaba con él: vivía en sus hermosas casas, atendida por empleados domésticos, alimentada por chefs, relajada por masajistas. A Adnan le fascinaba la moda y le gustaba vestirme”.

“No lo dejé todo para estar sólo con él. Seguí pagando mi arriendo, vivía sola y trabajaba”.

Armas

Jill era consciente de que estaba con un hombre extremadamente rico, pero no sabía todavía que Khashoggi era comerciante de armas.

“Ni siquiera sabía bien cuál era su apellido. Y no había internet… ¿cómo iba a encontrar esa información? Lo que sabía era que me interesaba y que quería estar más tiempo con él”.

“Pasó mucho tiempo antes de que me enterara de cómo ganaba dinero. Le pregunté al principio pero no mencionó armas”.

“Fue en un viaje a Las Vegas que me dijo que estaba cerrando un gran negocio. Cuando me explicó de qué se trataba exclamé: ‘¡Pero son máquinas de guerra!‘ y me respondió: ‘No tienen todos los países el derecho de defenderse de una guerra con otros países?'”.

Jill no dejó su trabajo cuando se “casó” con Khashoggi. La llamaban mucho para modelar trajes de baño. Después empezó a estudiar y eventualmente fundó Roxy, una marca conocida entre surfistas.

Las otras mujeres

“Conocí a las otras esposas de placer en reuniones o en cenas. Con el tiempo se volvió normal. Nos tratábamos con respecto pero guardábamos la distancia. Yo sentía que yo era especial para él. Fue más tarde que empezó a cambiar”.

“Una noche me trajo un collar que era para otra persona. Yo estaba dormida en mi cama y él entró en medio de la noche con un paquete. Me besó en la cabeza y me volteé y dijo: ‘¡Me equivoqué de habitación! Quédate con el regalo'”.

“Me sentí destrozada. Esa fue la primera vez que realmente me hirió”.

Separación

“Había empezado a estudiar y así que no estaba con él tanto como antes. Entonces me di cuenta de que estaba buscando otra mujer. Me pareció horripilante. Adnan y yo estábamos en su suite cuando un hombre entró con un folder negro grande que tenía fotos de modelos”.

Las empezaron a mirar y de repente caí en cuenta de lo que estaba pasando.

‘¿Qué estás haciendo? ¿Estás buscando chicas para comprar? ¿Fue así como me encontraste? ¿Me escogiste en un catálogo?‘. Se miraron y empezaron a reírse”.

“Me sentí traicionada. Todo estalló en ese momento. En ese entonces, él tenía hordas de mujeres a su alrededor. Todo era cada vez era más sórdido”.

“Luego conocí a una chica llamada René, que era idéntica a mí, sólo que menos alta y más joven. Empecé a sentir que era muy vieja para él (tenía 22 años)”.

El fin

Jill se fue, pero siguió en contacto con Khashoggi por años.

“Me llamaba y me preguntaba si quería volver con él. Si alguna vez me hubiera dicho que me amaba y que quería estar sólo conmigo, sin harén, lo habría considerado”.

“Adnan murió el día que publiqué mi libro (6 de junio, 2017). Para mí fue un shock que me duró una semana. En medio de la noche me levantaba llorando y sentía que estaba hablando con él, diciéndole que lo quería”.

Khashoggi murió el mismo día en el que “La moneda del amor” salió a la venta.

“Realmente no tengo más que recuerdos gratos de él. Por más que suene loco, fue una de las relaciones más sanas que he tenido con un hombre”.

“Hubo mucha honestidad. Me respetó, nunca me habló con crueldad. De hecho, después de la relación con Adnan, estuve en una relación abusiva con un estadounidense que fue horrenda. Como una mujer adulta -tengo 57 años y he estado felizmente casada por casi 20 años- aún la recuerdo como una hermosa amistad”.

No obstante, si una de sus dos hijas le dijera que está en una relación como la que ella tuvo con Khashoggi, “sentiría terror”.

John Yoo: Mueller could spark a constitutional confrontation

Developments in the Robert Mueller probe – which hit a milestone Wednesday with the sentencing of former Trump fixer Michael Cohen – have congressional Democrats openly revisiting the possibility of impeachment or even future prosecution of the president.

On the former, top Democrats in recent days have gone so far as to say the campaign finance violations Cohen claims President Trump directed amount to an “impeachable offense.” Some lawmakers swiftly raised the issue of the president’s culpability after Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison.

Yet key Democrats also have sought to make the distinction that it’s not clear whether the alleged offenses are so serious yet as to justify impeachment.

“I think what these indictments and filings show is that the president was at the center of … several massive frauds against the American people,” incoming House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. But he clarified, “You don’t necessarily launch an impeachment against the president because he committed an impeachable offense.”

Figures like Nadler are sure to face rising pressure from the liberal base, and influential activists like Tom Steyer, to pursue impeachment proceedings in the new Congress.

The president fired a warning shot in an interview with Reuters, maintaining he’s done nothing wrong.

“I’m not concerned [about impeachment], no. I think that the people would revolt if that happened,” he told Reuters.

The impeachment debate has focused on an evolving set of alleged or suspected offenses since the appointment of Special Counsel Mueller. First, there was the suspicion of collusion between Russia and Trump campaign associates. Then, Democrats monitored the investigation’s turn to look at possible obstruction of justice. Most recently, they’ve seized on allegations made by Cohen – and echoed by federal prosecutors – that Trump ordered Cohen to make hush-money payments to two women going into the 2016 presidential campaign.

Cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations in connection with those payments, among numerous counts for which he was sentenced Wednesday.

But Trump has adamantly denied legal culpability in those transactions, tweeting that they did not amount to illicit campaign contributions – and even if they did, it would amount to a civil case.

“Lawyer’s liability if he made a mistake, not me … Cohen just trying to get his sentence reduced,” Trump tweeted.

“I don’t think they have a violation of the law,” Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani also said.

Video

But top Democrats are now citing all three of these areas – suspicion of Russia collusion, obstruction of justice and campaign finance violations – as subjects to explore in the new year.

The political and logistical challenge for Democrats considering impeachment will remain even after the party takes control of the House in January: Republicans control the Senate, and it takes a two-thirds majority in that chamber to convict an impeached president.

Nadler, speaking on MSNBC last week, cited that hurdle in arguing that the House would need to have convincing evidence of serious offenses to proceed with impeachment.

At the same time, Democrats are looking at easing the path to potentially prosecute Trump in the future.

Nadler acknowledged that, while he disagrees with the finding, the Justice Department is bound by an opinion that a sitting president can’t be indicted for crimes – so he is considering introducing legislation that would effectively extend the statute of limitations so a sitting president could be prosecuted for potential offenses after leaving office.

The legislation specifically would put the statute of limitations on hold while a president is in office.

“You should not have a system where a president, anybody, is above the law,” he said.

Giuliani told Politico that such a move would “violate the spirit if not the letter of the constitutional protection against ex post facto legislation” – or punitive legislation that applies retroactively.

Video

Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., speaking Wednesday on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom,” echoed Nadler in saying grounds for impeachment could exist.

“Whether that’s grounds to do it and whether you actually pursue impeachment is a whole [other] question,” he added.

Van Hollen said until the full facts emerge, “people are not itching to get into an impeachment of President Trump.”

Fox News’ John Roberts contributed to this report.

Donald Trump ‘Could Pull Even’ with Biden in Arizona Count, CNN Says – Newsweek
Donald Trump ‘Could Pull Even’ with Biden in Arizona Count, CNN Says – Newsweek

President Donald Trump is chipping away at former Vice President Joe Biden‘s lead in Arizona, raising the possibility that he could take the state, giving him some breathing room in his bath to the presidency.

CNN analysts said that new Maricopa County data shows Trump is gaining on Biden and, if votes continued that way, could even “meet and beat” Joe Biden in the state. Joe Biden is still winning the county, with 51.4 percent of the vote in the county but around 200,000 votes remain to be reported.

“Trump has been meeting the thresholds he needs to at least pull even,” CNN said. “The biggest question is the composition of what’s left.” Both campaigns will have a strong sense of the makeup of votes still to come in, with analytics on previous voting data which, CNN says, the “Biden campaign says they feel good about.”

Until recent results came in, Joe Biden was comfortably ahead in the state with 55 percent of the popular vote but now, that stands at around 50.5 percent, with Trump at around 48.1 percent. There is still around 15 percent of the vote to be reported.

On Tuesday night, the Associated Press and Fox News called Arizona for Biden, giving him 11 electoral college votes. With Arizona in Biden’s corner, Trump has to win all five of the remaining states, including Nevada that’s leaning toward Biden, but the president’s campaign pushed for the outlets to retract calling Arizona before all the votes were counted.

“No news outlet should stand by a called race in Arizona,” Tim Murtaugh, director of communications for the Trump campaign, posted on Twitter. “This thing isn’t over.” The tides started shifting in Trump’s favor on Wednesday evening. Unofficial results from 9 p.m. Eastern gave Trump 43,966 additional votes and Biden 30,322, bringing Biden’s lead in the state down from 92,817 votes to 79,173.

It put Biden at 1,469,341 votes statewide and Trump at 1,400,951 with 86 percent of the votes being reported, according to the New York Times, with Biden having 50.5 percent of the vote and Trump with 48.1 percent.

“HUGE gains for President Donald Trump in Maricopa County, Arizona,” Representative Andy Biggs posted on Twitter. “He is trailing by less than 80,000 votes now STATEWIDE. There are hundreds of thousands of votes outstanding.”

With Arizona going to Biden, as has been called by a number of networks, the Democratic candidate is only six votes away from the 270 threshold to become president of the United States. In that scenario, Trump will have to win the five remaining states—Nevada, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina and Alaska—to win the election, while Biden only needs Nevada, a state that’s leaning Democratic.

However, if Trump secures a victory in Arizona, it would move Biden farther from the 270 vote goal post and means Trump could sacrifice Nevada and still have a path to victory.

As has been the case around the country, voters aren’t entirely confident in the validity of the election in Arizona. Voters were concerned about the accuracy of the count after people posted on social media that they were given a Sharpie marker to fill out their ballot and the ink caused it to be rendered invalid.

Clint Hickman, chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, and Steve Gallardo, supervisor of District 5, pushed back on “misinformation spreading about the integrity of euro elections” and said Sharpies “do not invalidate ballots.”

“We did extensive testing on multiple different types of ink with our new vote tabulation equipment,” the two officials said in a statement. “The offset columns on ballots ensure that any bleed-through will not impact your vote.”

The reason behind the use of Sharpies was that they provide the fastest-drying ink and the officials reiterated that people who voted by mail could use Sharpies and blue or black pens. They also denied that changing results in the vote tally was a case of “fraud,” saying it’s actually “evidence of democracy.”

Obamacare Markets Will Not Reopen, Trump Decides – The New York Times
Obamacare Markets Will Not Reopen, Trump Decides – The New York Times

Insurers, which had been arguing in favor of the enrollment period, had been hopeful just a few days ago that the White House might announce such a step. But the situation suddenly became “fluid,” in the description of one executive. Another described the administration as divided about whether to proceed, especially given the president’s support for the lawsuit that would overturn the law.

Numerous other health care provider and consumer groups, including the American Diabetes Association, Families USA and the New Hampshire Nurses Association, wrote a joint letter to the administration last month asking it to establish a special enrollment period. The groups argued that forcing people to verify eligibility “would not only delay care receipt, it would deter enrollment by healthy customers, endangering the individual-market risk pool,” the grouping of customers that determines what the insurers charge for a policy.

Governors of several states also asked the administration to grant a special enrollment period, including Republican governors in Arizona and New Hampshire, and Democratic ones in Oregon, Michigan and New Jersey.

Many Democratic politicians criticized the decision Wednesday as insensitive to the needs of the public in a crisis, including Joe Biden, who leads the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee also released a statement, suggesting it may become a campaign issue. Democrats made health care a centerpiece of many House races in the 2018 midterm elections.

“In the midst of a global pandemic, Washington Republicans continue their crusade against the health and safety of the American public,” said Fabiola Rodriguez, a spokeswoman for the group, in the statement. “By blocking uninsured Covid-19 patients from getting health care, Trump and his allies have decided to bankrupt American families. The American people deserve to know if House Republicans will stand up for the millions of Americans who face the challenge of being jobless and uninsured during the Covid-19 pandemic.”

Both Democratic and Republican members of Congress had also urged the administration to consider a special enrollment period. But Congress declined to require such an enrollment period in its last round of coronavirus legislation, instead leaving the decision to federal officials.

In a statement Wednesday, Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey recommended that Congress include a special enrollment provision in its next round of coronavirus legislation. He had also proposed such language be included in the last bill. “At a time when our health care system is already under enormous strain, it makes no sense to willingly allow even more individuals to go without coverage,” he said.
