    Los medios alemanes destacan que es la primera vez en más de 50 años que se presentan cargos de traición contra periodistas. Algunas voces denuncian la medida como un ataque a la libertad de prensa.

    “El fiscal federal ha iniciado una investigación por sospecha de traición a la patria en los artículos publicados en el blog de Internet Netzpolitik.org”, afirmó un portavoz de la oficina del fiscal, agregando que la decisión fue adoptada después de una denuncia realizada por la Oficina para la Protección de la Constitución (agencia de inteligencia policial para el interior de Alemania, BfV, por sus siglas en alemán).

    La BfV asegura que los artículos, publicados el 25 de febrero y el 15 de abril de este año, se basaron en documentos confidenciales que fueron filtrados.

    “Este es un ataque a la libertad de la prensa”, señaló en un comunicado el periodista Andre Meister, que es objeto de la investigación junto con el editor en jefe Markus Beckedahl. “No vamos a ser intimidados por esto”, agregó, informa ‘The Guardian‘.

    Por su parte, Michael Konken, jefe de la asociación alemana de prensa, se hizo eco del comunicado y calificó el hecho de “un intento inaceptable de amordazar a dos periodistas críticos”.

    The mission of the industry partnership includes advocacy, advertising, lobbying and public education, but it has not registered under federal lobbying laws. Forbes Tate, a public affairs company that lobbies for many health care and drug companies, coordinates the work of the partnership, but is not registered to lobby on its behalf.

    “There are no direct lobbyists for the partnership,” Ms. Shaver said. “We work through all of our different groups. They have their own lobbyists who do obviously lobby on Medicare for all. But there are no registered lobbyists for the partnership because we are not doing that directly at this time.”

    The coalition, like President Trump, attacks any proposals that smack of socialized medicine. But it also has a positive agenda. It wants to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act in Texas, Florida and other states that have yet to do so. It wants to expand federal subsidies under the health law so insurance will be affordable to more people. And it wants to stabilize premiums by persuading states to set up reinsurance programs, using a combination of federal and state funds to help pay the largest claims.

    Beyond their desire to preserve the status quo, coalition members have done well by the Affordable Care Act. Many participants, such as the American Medical Association, the pharmaceuticals lobby and the hospital association, backed the A.C.A. from the start, banking that more insured Americans would mean more customers. The hospitals saw the health law’s Medicaid expansion as a lifeline as they struggled with the uninsured working poor.

    Others, like the National Retail Federation, opposed the A.C.A. but have tried to make it work.

    The need to bolster the Affordable Care Act will become even more urgent, the coalition says, if Texas and other states succeed in their lawsuit to invalidate the entire law.

    Even without legislation to expand Medicare, the program is sure to grow because of the aging of the baby boom generation. The number of Medicare beneficiaries, 60 million today, is expected to top 75 million within a decade. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that Medicare spending will grow under current law to $1.5 trillion in 2029, double the total projected for this year.

    E. Neil Trautwein, the vice president for health care policy at the retail federation, which represents companies like Walmart, McDonald’s and Amazon, said his top priority was to protect the stability of the coverage that employers provide to employees.

    President Joe Biden delivered remarks Thursday about vaccine mandates for businesses at an Illinois construction site run by a company whose CEO has donated millions to Democratic campaigns.

    Biden spoke in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, at a site affiliated with Clayco, whose CEO Robert Clark gave $1.6 million to Democratic campaigns in 2020, according Federal Election Commission records. At least $116,000 of those donations were to Biden’s presidential campaign.

    The Biden campaign listed Clark as someone who “raised at least $100,000 for our campaign and affiliated joint fundraising committees.”

    Clayco affiliates donated $387,037 to Democratic campaigns in 2020.

    Clayco is a private “full-service, turnkey real estate, architecture, engineering, design-build and construction firm,” according to their website. It was founded in 1984, has 2,600 employees, and raked in more than $3.3 billion in revenue in 2020.

    Neither Clark nor Clayco responded to a request for comment in time for publication. The White House also did not respond.

    Before his speech at the Clayco construction site, Biden was introduced by Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Democratic Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot before he pushed for more businesses to mandate vaccines.

    “These requirements work,” he said. “And as the Business Roundtable and others told me when I announced the first requirement, that encouraged businesses to feel they could come in and demand the same thing of their employees. More people are getting vaccinated. More lives are being saved.”

    NOTICIAS  TELEMUNDO  PRESENTS:

    “MURIENDO POR CRUZAR,” AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE INCREASING NUMBER OF IMMIGRANT DEATHS ALONG THE BORDER, THIS SUNDAY, AUGUST 3 AT 6 P.M./5 C

    Carmen Dominicci and Neida Sandoval present the Telemundo and The Weather Channel co-production

    Miami – July 31, 2014 – Telemundo presents “Muriendo por Cruzar”, a documentary that investigates why increasing numbers of immigrants are dying while trying to cross the US-Mexican border near the city of Falfurrias, Texas, this Sunday, August 3 at 6PM/5 C.  The Telemundo and The Weather Channel co-production, presented by Noticias Telemundo journalists Carmen Dominicci and Neida Sandoval, reveals the obstacles immigrants face once they cross into US territory, including extreme weather conditions, as they try to evade the border patrol.  “Muriendo por Cruzar” is part of Noticias Telemundo’s special coverage of the crisis on the border and immigration reform.

     

    “‘Muriendo por Cruzar’” dares to ask questions that reveal the actual conditions undocumented immigrants face as they try to start a new life in the United States,” said Alina Falcón, Telemundo’s Executive Vice President for News and Alternative Programming.  “Our collaboration with The Weather Channel was very productive. They have a unique expertise in covering the impact of weather on people’s lives, as we do in covering immigration reform and the border crisis. The result is a compelling documentary that exposes a harrowing reality.”

    “Muriendo por Cruzar” is the first co-production by Telemundo and The Weather Channel.  Both networks are part of NBCUniversal.

    “Hemos tomado muchas medidas, hemos sincerado muchas cosas. Y no me canso de decir que me dolieron muchas de las decisiones que debimos tomar. Pero hoy estamos viendo que las buenas noticias comienzan a llegar“, señaló el presidente Mauricio Macri al participar de la inauguración de una nueva planta de fertilizantes en Pergamino, en el norte bonaerense. 

    Junto a la gobernadora María Eugenia Vidal y varios de sus ministros, este mediodía Macri participó de un acto en el parque industrial de Pergamino, donde se inauguraron nuevas instalaciones construidas luego de un acuerdo entre la empresa local Rizobacter y el grupo francés De Sangosse. En total se invirtieron 30 millones de dólares que permitirán producir unas 30.000 toneladas de fertilizantes al año y generarán 100 nuevos empleos en esa región agrícola.

    En su discurso, el presidente consideró que con inversiones como estael país “ya ha comenzado a recorrer el camino hacia la pobreza cero”. Y ensalzó que “lo más importante es que ya empezamos, que los argentinos nos decidimos por un cambio”.

    De todos modos, el presidente aclaró que uno de los principales desafíos de su gestión no es solo producir y vender más granos y materias primas, sino agregar valor a los productos del agro, para así “transformarnos del granero del mundo al supermercado del mundo”. En ese sentido, Macri evaluó que la exportación de alimentos industrializados permitirá generar mayor empleo y arraigo de la gente en sus localidades.

    En diálogo previo con la agencia estatalTélam, Ricardo Yapur, el presidente de Rizobacter, explicó que “la inversión se pensó mucho, hace tiempo que veníamos trabajando con los franceses” para crear una nueva empresa llamadaSynertech Industrias.

    “Fue muy difícil convencer a los franceses de hacer esta inversión cuando los último tres años por cada euro que traían el Estado les pagaba una cosa y en la calle ese euro salía mucho más. Sin embargo, la confianza y el trabajo lo permitieron, pese a los conflictos que ahora se arreglaron”, recordó el directivo.

    Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, on Sunday accused the Biden administration of being “in bed with Big Tech,” making the argument that comments made by White House press secretary Jen Psaki last week have only strengthened former President Donald Trump’s lawsuit accusing Facebook and Twitter of censorship. 

    “I kind of wonder if Jen Psaki is on the payroll of Donald Trump because her press conference strengthened President Trump’s lawsuit against Big Tech,” Cruz said in an appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.” “It makes clear that everything we thought about the Biden administration – about their willingness to trample on free speech, to trample on the Constitution, to use government power to silence you, everything we feared they might do, they are doing and worse. And I think that President Trump’s lawsuit got much, much stronger this week.” 

    As coronavirus cases are on the rise and vaccination rates have slowed in the U.S., the White House launched an effort to crack down on misinformation, starting with a warning from U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy that bogus information about coronavirus is an “urgent threat” to public health. 

    The surgeon general’s office issued a new report titled, “Confronting Health Misinformation,” that makes recommendations for social media platforms to “impose clear consequences for accounts that repeatedly violate platform policies.”

    WHITE HOUSE DOUBLES DOWN ON ITS HARSH CRITICISM OF FACEBOOK FOLLOWING BIDEN’S ‘KILLING’ REMARKS 

    Psaki doubled down on the administration’s relationship with Facebook on Friday and said it is “making sure social media platforms are aware of the latest narratives,” and even added that if a user is banned from one platform “for providing misinformation” that user should be banned from all others. 

    “We don’t take anything down. We don’t block anything, Facebook, and any private sector company makes decisions about what information should be on their platform,” Psaki said in defense of the relationship and reported this week that 12 people are to blame for 65% of anti-vaccine misinformation on social media platforms.

    Speaking with host Maria Bartiromo, Cruz posed a hypothetical situation, suggesting that what Biden is doing now to pressure Facebook to act would strike a more serious chord if, for example, the White House directed a private paramilitary organization to seize Americans’ guns – then signed a law granting that paramilitary group freedom from any civil liability for its actions. 

    Cruz explained that First Amendment protection apply to government censorship, but comments from the White House illustrate how private companies with a monopoly could also stamp out free speech. 

    “The Supreme Court has long recognized a line of cases when government uses a private company as a tool, as an arm to implement a government policy – in this instance, when government explicitly asks a private monopoly ‘censor the following speech we disagree with,’ that that private company can be treated as a state actor,” Cruz said. 

    President Joe Biden accused the tech companies of “killing people” by allowing misinformation to remain on their platforms, comments which drew a quick rebuke from Facebook. 

    “The White House is looking for scapegoats for missing their vaccine goals,” a Facebook spokesperson told NBC’s Dylan Byers.

    Appearing on Fox News before his speech at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit, Cruz further accused both the Democratic Party and Big Tech of being “in bed” with the Chinese Communist Party. 

    “Big Tech is in bed with the Chinese communists,” Cruz said. “Among the biggest funders of the Democratic Party are the giant corporations. And many of the giant corporations, the Fortune 50 and the Fortune 500, are in bed with the Chinese communists.”

    His examples included Biden nominating Linda Thomas-Greenfield as his United Nations ambassador despite her making a speech at a Chinese-funded Confucius Institute event, the State Department reversing its policy to ban Taiwanese flags on U.S. government property to appease the Chinese government and Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee rejecting a Green New Deal amendment that would have banned the purchase of electric cars from the region in China where the Uyghurs are being held in concentration camps.

    The headlines in major newspapers the day after the Columbine massacre were shocking — and they were wrong:

    “Up to 25 Die in Colorado School Shooting” (The Washington Post)

    Gunmen Stalk School, Killing Up to 25 and Wounding 20″ (Los Angeles Times)

    “High School Massacre: Columbine bloodbath leaves up to 25 dead” (Denver Post)

    In fact, the death toll was lower — 12 students and one teacher were killed on April 20, 1999 by shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who then took their own lives. Even so, Columbine remained the deadliest high school shooting in U.S. history until the attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018 that left 17 dead.

    Saturday marks 20 years since the Columbine massacre. There will be a public memorial service in the Denver suburb where it occurred and tributes to the victims everywhere.

    And while correcting the death toll took only a day, other aspects of early reports that turned out to be unfounded have lingered in the nation’s subconscious.

    “It’s frustrating because we’ve known so much for so long, but initial impressions are hard to change,” said Peter Langman, a psychologist who has studied school shootings so extensively that Sue Klebold contacted him for insight about her son Dylan while she was writing a memoir.

    1. Harris and Klebold were not in the Trench Coat Mafia

    Even as the massacre was unfolding, students told journalists that Harris and Klebold were members of a group known as the Trench Coat Mafia.

    The Washington Post put it this way: “The shooters who turned Columbine High School into an unspeakable landscape of carnage yesterday were members of a small clique of outcasts who always wore black trench coats and spent their entire adolescence deep inside the morose subculture of Gothic fantasy, their fellow students said.”

    The Denver Post reported: “By several accounts, the group [was] also interested in the occult, mutilation, shock-rocker Marilyn Manson and Adolf Hitler.”

    And the New York Times: “[I]nvestigators now believe that among the dozen or so students in the group were the people responsible for yesterday’s mass shooting at the high school.”

    Students and investigators did say this to reporters. But Columbine was a large school with 2,000 students. Many “did not know [Harris and Klebold], or knew them only as kids who sometimes wore trench coats,” Langman wrote in a 2008 report.

    “As a result, people assumed that [Harris and Klebold] were part of the Trench Coat Mafia; this assumption is wrong.”

    The year before the shooting, when Harris and Klebold were juniors, there was a group of mostly senior students who sometimes referred to themselves as the Trench Coat Mafia.

    Harris and Klebold knew a few of these students, but they were not considered core to the friend group, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office later determined, and did not appear in a photo of Trench Coat Mafia members in the 1998 yearbook. Most of those students had graduated the year before the shooting.

    Police also later determined that some students confused Klebold with another student who was in the group and resembled Klebold.

    2. Harris and Klebold were not isolated outcasts or loners.

    In the conflation of Harris and Klebold with the Trench Coat Mafia, they became synonymous with the word “outcast,” which appeared in every major newspaper report. The Post said people described them as an “isolated pair”; the Denver Post used “loners.”

    But a thorough look at the shooters’ lives, one not based on panicked students’ reports, refutes this, Langman said.

    “They both had a lot of friends. They both engaged in school activities, out-of-school activities, they worked part-time jobs with some of their buddies at a pizza shop,” Langman said.

    Both were in a bowling league. Harris had played on the school soccer team as a freshman and sophomore, and continued to play soccer and volleyball after school, according to the sheriff’s office report. Klebold was in a fantasy baseball league and had gone to prom with a female friend a few days before the massacre.

    3. The attack was not revenge for being bullied.

    The first articles also indicated that Harris and Klebold sought revenge against classmates who had bullied them. The New York Times said Harris and Klebold appeared to target “peers who had poked fun at the group in the past.” The Post said students described them as “a constant target of derision for at least four years.” The Los Angeles Times said students considered the attack “lethal payback for old taunts and prejudices.”

    But a look at police records and Harris’s and Klebold’s own writings paint a much more complex portrait, Langman said. Yes, Harris and Klebold were sometimes teased, but they were nowhere near the most bullied in the school and were much more frequently the bullies than the victims of bullies.

    Most students are picked on at some point, Langman said, “so in the aftermath of a shooting, if reporters ask the students, ‘Was so-and-so ever picked on,’ the answer just on average is going to be yes. The significance of that though is completely unknown.”

    In fact, Langman said, Harris’s personal writings show many “reasons” for his desire to kill: He wanted to see himself as “the law”; for sadistic pleasure; because the human race is “only worth killing”; and as revenge for being teased. Revenge was only one among many reasons. More often than not, Harris expressed a desire to kill complete strangers.

    Harris and Klebold did not kill any of the students who had teased them; school shooters rarely do, Langman said. The two even said they knew that some of their friends might die in their attack.

    “Getting it right was very difficult in those early hours, and first days, and I think all of us who covered the story regret the mistakes that were made,” said Tom Kenworthy, The Post reporter on the scene that day, in an email Friday.

    The mistakenly high death estimate was the result of an early evening press conference by Jefferson County Sheriff John Stone, who said, “I’ve heard numbers as high as 25.” Kenworthy recalled rushing to report that number by the print deadline.

    School shootings were not new in 1999; in the two years before Columbine, there were deadly school shootings in Pearl, Miss., West Paducah, Ky., Jonesboro, Ark., and Springfield, Ore.

    But Columbine was the first of these events to unfold live on television. The Chicago Tribune published a story about the uniqueness of the experience; the Associated Press called it “adrenaline television.” Networks were later criticized for revealing the locations of police and of hiding and fleeing students live on the air.

    Since Columbine, more than 226,000 students have experienced gun violence at U.S. schools, according to Washington Post data. The frequency of school shootings has spurred changes in reporting aimed at limiting inaccuracies such as those that followed the Columbine massacre. The Poynter Institute and Suicide Awareness Voice of Education urge journalists to avoid reporting secondhand witness statements or amplifying small details, and the Radio Television Digital News Association warns against broadcasting the locations of victims and law enforcement while shooters are still active.

    Others recommend avoiding the use of shooters’ names or publishing photos that glorify their crimes. This is because of another aspect of modern school shootings that started with Columbine — glorification of mass shooters on the Internet. As The Post’s Jessica Contrera reported this month, more than 150 strangers show up at the Columbine High School campus every month. Many are obsessed with the attacks, and pore over Harris’s and Klebold’s online writings and photos.

    This week, an 18-year-old woman described by authorities as “infatuated” with the Columbine massacre traveled from her home in Florida to Colorado. Sol Pais immediately purchased the same kind of weapon used by one of the Columbine shooters at a gun shop two miles from the school, setting off a massive manhunt. She ran from the FBI and took her own life — her case becoming another reminder of the Columbine shooting’s enduring and dangerous mythology.

    McConnell, meanwhile, said Senate Republicans are “undecided about the way forward at this point” and would “read the fine print” before Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., brings the bill to a vote. He expressed concerns about Democratic influence over staff hiring and potential overlap with prosecution of rioters.

    Schumer committed Tuesday to bringing the legislation to a vote if the House passes it.

    “Republicans can let their constituents know, are they on the side of truth or do they want to cover up for the insurrectionists and for Donald Trump?” he told reporters.

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, reacting to McCarthy’s opposition, said, “I am very pleased that we have a bipartisan bill to come to the floor, and [it’s] disappointing but not surprising that [there is] cowardice on the part of some on the Republican side, [to] not to want to find the truth.”

    Some GOP senators have echoed McCarthy’s concerns about the commission. Sen. Josh Hawley, a Missouri Republican who also objected to counting certified election results, said Monday that a commission should probe other events including when a driver rammed into a barricade and killed Capitol Police officer William Evans on Good Friday.

    Rioters, spurred by former President Donald Trump’s unfounded claims that Biden won because of widespread fraud, overran the Capitol on Jan. 6 in events that led to five deaths, including that of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick. The mob, which included people chanting “Hang Mike Pence,” came within moments of reaching the former vice president and members of Congress.

    The attack on the legislature led the House to impeach Trump for inciting an insurrection during his final days in office. The Senate acquitted him after Biden’s inauguration as many Republicans argued they could not convict a former president.

    Dozens of challenges in key states failed to uncover evidence of irregularities that would have cost Trump the 2020 election.

    House Republicans have increasingly ostracized members who challenge the election conspiracy theories spread by the former president, who maintains a strong hold on GOP voters. The caucus on Wednesday removed Rep. Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican and one of 10 members of her party to vote to impeach Trump, from her leadership post.

    Cheney later said “we cannot be dragged backward by the very dangerous lies of a former president.” She has expressed strong support for a commission to investigate the insurrection.

    (CNN) The Justice Department’s inspector general will investigate the department’s handling of a leak investigation into former President Donald Trump’s political enemies that included a subpoena to collect metadata of lawmakers, staff and some family members, the office announced Friday.

    The request comes as House Intelligence Committee Democrats hold a briefing at which Chairman Adam Schiff is expected to talk with his members about what the committee has learned, a source familiar tells CNN.

    The activity follows the bombshell revelation that prosecutors in the Trump administration Justice Department subpoenaed Apple for data from the accounts of House Intelligence Committee Democrats along with their staff and family members as part of a leak investigation.

    The prosecutors were looking for the sources behind news stories about contacts between Russia and Trump associates.

    Schumer and Durbin call for former attorneys general to testify

    Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin are calling for former Attorneys General William Barr and Jeff Sessions to testify on the matter.

    “If they refuse, they are subject to being subpoenaed and compelled to testify under oath,” the Democrats said in a statement.

    “This issue should not be partisan; under the Constitution, Congress is a co-equal branch of government and must be protected from an overreaching executive, and we expect that our Republican colleagues will join us in getting to the bottom of this serious matter,” Schumer and Durbin said.

    White House calls reports ‘appalling’

    In the Biden administration’s first on-camera reaction Friday, White House communications director Kate Bedingfield called the reports “appalling.”

    “The reports of the behavior of the attorney general under Donald Trump are appalling,” Bedingfield said during an appearance on MSNBC from Cornwall, England.

    Bedingfield suggested President Joe Biden has a “very different relationship” with the Justice Department than his predecessor, calling out the Trump administration’s “abuse of power” with the department, and adding that the Biden administration’s Justice Department is “run very, very differently.”

    Biden, Bedingfield said, “respects the independence of the Justice Department, and it’s a critically important part of how he governs.”

    Swalwell says Trump ‘weaponized’ Justice Department

    California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell, whose data was seized by the Trump administration, said Trump “weaponized” the Justice Department to dig into the private communications.

    “This is about everyday Americans who don’t want to see their government weaponize law enforcement against them because of their political beliefs,” Swalwell told CNN’s Jim Sciutto on “Newsroom.”

    Asked Friday by Sciutto if he leaked classified information involving investigations, Swalwell replied, “No, never.”

    The House is currently not in session and many members are back in their home districts across the country so the House committee briefing is not taking place in person.

    The source tells CNN that throughout Thursday evening, members grew concerned that they may not have been aware of if their information had been seized. There are also concerns about what, if any, other methods the Trump administration might have used to look at political adversaries.

    This story is breaking and will be updated.

    Melinda Gates reportedly began exploring options for divorce from Bill Gates almost two years ago, around the time the world’s fourth-richest man was revealed to have met many times with Jeffrey Epstein, the philanthropist and sex offender who killed himself in jail in 2019.

    The Microsoft founder and his wife, two of the world’s most powerful and influential philanthropists, announced their divorce last week. They have not said why.

    On Sunday, the Wall Street Journal cited “people familiar with the matter” and a former employee of the Gates Foundation who said Bill Gates’s dealings with Epstein were “one source of concern” for his wife.

    In October 2019, the New York Times reported that Epstein cultivated the acquaintance of rich and powerful men including the former president Bill Clinton.

    But it said few “compared in prestige and power to the [then] world’s second-richest person, a brilliant and intensely private luminary: Bill Gates. And unlike many others, Mr Gates started the relationship after Mr Epstein was convicted of sex crimes.”

    In 2008, Epstein reached a deal with authorities and was sentenced to 13 months confinement for soliciting prostitution from underage girls. The conditions of the deal were a source of controversy 11 years later, when Epstein was charged with sex trafficking. Found dead in a New York jail, he was deemed to have killed himself.

    Earlier this week, the Daily Beast reported that Melinda Gates warned her husband about associating with Epstein in 2013. The Wall Street Journal cited a former employee of the Gates Foundation who said relationships between the two men and other Gates employees continued after that warning.

    The Journal said court documents showed that Melinda Gates spoke with legal advisers a number of times around publication of the New York Times story in 2019.

    A spokesman for Bill Gates told the Journal he stood by a statement about Epstein given to the paper that year: “I met him. I didn’t have any business relationship or friendship with him.”

    Bill and Melinda Gates announced their divorce on Twitter last week.

    “After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage,” they said. “We have raised three incredible children and built a foundation that works all over the world to enable all people to lead healthy, productive lives.”

    The couple, who were married in 1994, have reportedly agreed to divide their assets. According to Forbes, Bill Gates is worth about $124bn. The couple have said they will give most of their money away.

    Last week, Forbes said the fortune was being divided. Its headline: “Melinda French Gates Now A Billionaire After Stock Transfer From Bill Gates.”

    Citing court documents, the Journal said that about two years before she filed for divorce, Melinda Gates said her marriage had been “irretrievably broken” for some time.

    The paper said her legal team included Robert Stephan Cohen, a New York divorce lawyer who has represented Michael Bloomberg and Ivana Trump.

    LOS ANGELES—Noticias MundoFox is
    one of the newest Spanish-language television
    networks in the United States, having
    launched in August 2012. It’s a joint venture
    between Fox International Channels and
    RCN from Bogota, Colombia and was established
    to meet the increasing demand for
    quality Spanish content.

    Budgets are always important for startup
    news operations, and we were no exception.
    We’re committed to operating cost-effectively
    without compromising on the
    quality, immediacy, or completeness of our
    news coverage. And as any news professional
    knows, the ability to cover live, breaking
    news from the source is a critical differentiator—
    but can also be a major expense—especially
    if the station has to maintain costly
    satellite and microwave vehicles.

    COST SAVINGS AND PORTABILITY

    Instead of purchasing trucks, we adopted
    a powerful and cost-effective alternative: the Dejero Live+ 20/20 Transmitter, a stateof-
    the-art bonded wireless newsgathering
    system that our news crews can carry into
    the heart of the story.

    The portable, rugged Live+ 20/20 encodes
    and transmits live or prerecorded,
    high-quality HD or SD
    video using any combination of 4G
    or 3G cellular networks, Wi-Fi, Ethernet,
    and even satellite links. With
    this lightweight equipment and a
    video camera, our news teams can
    enter difficult-to-access areas and
    be ready to transmit in just a few
    minutes without the expense or
    specialized crew needed to operate
    a satellite or microwave truck. The
    Live+ 20/20 also can go places that
    trucks can’t.

    We have deployed Live+ 20/20
    Transmitters at all of our news bureaus
    and have installed two Dejero Live+
    broadcast servers at our Los Angeles headquarters.
    With feeds coming into the servers
    from the Live+ 20/20 transmitters,
    it’s easy for me to access the content and
    route it as required for live broadcasts, or
    archiving for later use.

    In its first year, Noticias MundoFox has
    deployed Dejero Live+ 20/20 Transmitters
    to provide live coverage of some of the
    world’s most high-profile events, including
    the resignation of Pope Benedict and
    the subsequent election of Pope Francis as the Catholic Church’s first Latino leader,
    the death of Nelson Mandela, the election
    of President Obama to a second term, and
    the election of Mexico’s President Enrique
    Peña Nieto.

    LIVE FROM VATICAN CITY

    For the papal election, we connected our Live+ 20/20 Transmitter system to a private
    Ethernet drop provided by Dejero and
    transmitted live shots from a hotel terrace
    with a panoramic view of the Vatican. We
    broadcast our full-hour newscast from the
    terrace for 15 days with consistent
    high quality supported by the bonded
    transmission capabilities of the Live+
    20/20 Transmitter. Satellite linkage
    would have been at least $6,000 a day,
    but we were able to transmit broadcast-
    quality feeds for a tiny fraction of
    that cost.

    The versatility of using portable
    satellite, bonded cellular and Ethernet
    connections means that our lean news
    departments can travel to where the
    news is breaking. This brings a whole
    new level of excitement and immediacy
    to our newscasts that simply isn’t
    possible with traditional ENG trucks.

    A familiar story line played out Monday night for Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who condemned one of President Trump’s most trusted advisers only to end up being accused of anti-Semitism.

    “Stephen Miller is a white nationalist,” she tweeted on Monday afternoon. “The fact that he still has influence on policy and political appointments is an outrage.” But because Miller, Trump’s senior policy adviser, is Jewish, Omar’s fervent detractors on the right saw her comments not as incendiary criticism of Miller’s hard-line immigration policies but instead as part of a pattern of targeting Jews.

    “During my time in Congress before @IlhanOmar got here, I didn’t once witness another Member target Jewish people like this with the name calling & other personal attacks,” Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), perhaps Omar’s most relentless critic, wrote on Twitter. “In 2019 though, for @IlhanOmar, this is just called Monday.”

    The latest spat comes just days after a New York man was arrested on charges of threatening Omar by pledging to “put a bullet in her [expletive] skull,” rhetoric that the freshman congresswoman’s supporters say has been emboldened by the heated accusations of Jewish bias coupled with Islamophobia. Omar, a Somali refugee, is Muslim.

    Claims of anti-Semitism have vexed Omar since she took office this year, after she suggested that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), an influential Jewish lobbying group, wielded power over members of Congress through money. But to Omar’s backers, the ubiquitous attacks from the right since then have amounted to a politically expedient smear campaign that trivializes the meaning of true anti-Semitism. To others, it’s part of a greater effort to silence women of color in Congress, fueling vitriolic attacks and death threats.

    Omar’s remarks Monday were spurred by reports that Miller’s desire for tougher candidates to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement contributed to Trump’s decision to withdraw the nomination of Ronald Vitiello. Miller has been the architect behind numerous hard-line immigration policies, such as family separation, and has advocated for closing the entire U.S.-Mexico border.

    Critics from Donald Trump Jr. to pundits from various conservative news outlets immediately pounced on Omar, questioning how a Jewish person could be accused of being a white nationalist.

    “I see that the head of the Farrakhan Fan Club, @IlhanMN, took a short break from spewing her usual anti-semitic bigotry today to accuse a Jewish man of being a ‘white nationalist’ because she apparently has no shame,” wrote Trump Jr., referring to Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam.

    Matt Wolking, deputy communications director for the president’s reelection campaign, offered this straightforward take on Twitter: “He’s Jewish, and Ilhan Omar is a racist anti-Semite.”

    The backlash reflects an apparent effort among some members of the GOP to use Omar’s comments to sow division within the Democratic Party and among Jewish Democratic voters. Take Christian Ziegler, the vice chairman of the Florida GOP, who used the backlash to urge “my Jewish friends” to join the alleged “#jexodus” movement, encouraging Jews to leave the Democratic Party en masse.

    Some mocked the critics for appearing to extrapolate an anti-Jewish bias from Omar’s remarks, while others attacked Zeldin, the Republican congressman from New York.

    “Rep. Zeldin is using his Jewishness to provide cover for a white nationalist regime that stokes hatred and terror for Jews (and many other peoples) in a US that until President Trump felt so safe and secure for us,” wrote economist David Rothschild.

    “Inappropriate accusations of anti-Semitism masks the ugliness of the real thing,” Perry Gershon, a Democratic businessman who lost to Zeldin in 2018 and plans to challenge him for his seat in the next election cycle, wrote on Twitter, linking to Zeldin’s comments.

    Omar has long argued that her condemnation of the Israeli government’s treatment of the Palestinian people has been erroneously conflated with condemnation of Jewish people. In February, she apologized for using what was criticized as an anti-Semitic trope when she suggested that AIPAC could buy support from members of Congress. “It’s all about the Benjamins baby,” she tweeted at the time, making a reference to $100 bills. Last month, she was accused of suggesting Jews harbor “dual loyalty” to the United States and Israel after slamming “the political influence in this country that says it is okay for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country.”

    In her apology, Omar said she either did not intend to offend Jews or was ignorant to the fact that she was using anti-Semitic tropes. The House passed a generic resolution condemning bigotry in response.

    But the attacks on Omar didn’t slow. On Saturday, one day after federal prosecutors announced charges against the man who allegedly threatened to kill Omar, Trump mocked her during a speech before members of the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas.

    “Special thanks to Representative Omar of Minnesota,” Trump told members in attendance, including casino magnate and prominent Republican donor Sheldon Adelson. “Oh, I forgot. She doesn’t like Israel. I forgot. I’m so sorry.”

    Trump was also accused of expressing the same “dual loyalty” trope that critics said Omar had used. Speaking to the group of Republican Jews on Saturday, Trump described Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as “your prime minister,” and asked the audience to explain “to some of your people” why they shouldn’t oppose his tariffs on imported goods.

    “Mr. President, the Prime Minister of Israel is the leader of his (or her) country, not ours,” the American Jewish Committee tweeted. “Statements to the contrary, from staunch friends or harsh critics, feed bigotry.”

    A spokesman for Omar could not immediately be reached for comment early Tuesday regarding the latest accusations of anti-Semitism.

    The widespread destruction caused by extreme weather coast to coast, with Hurricane Ida spreading devastation from Louisiana to New York while record wildfires scorch California, prompted Joe Biden to level with America this week, saying it was “yet another reminder that … the climate crisis is here”.

    “We need to be much better prepared. We need to act,” Biden said in a speech on Thursday at the White House.

    The last week saw Hurricane Ida come ashore from the Gulf of Mexico as the fifth largest hurricane on record to hit the US.

    The massive storms spawned in its aftermath battered states on the Gulf coast and all the way up into the north-east, killing at least 48 so far in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut after historic flooding, where officials admitted they were surprised by the tempest’s suddenness and ferocity.

    In Louisiana, many fewer were killed, just over a dozen at the most recent count, but almost a million people have been left without electricity, some indefinitely, because of the storm.

    Meanwhile, the Caldor wildfire in California has burned over 200,000 acres and is threatening more than 35,000 structures, edging close to the Lake Tahoe area and becoming one of few wildfires to rage from one side of the Sierra Nevada mountains to the other.

    While the US president first laid out details of emergency relief efforts being deployed around the country, he ended his speech by talking about how the natural disasters will continue to happen, more often and with greater intensity, because of the climate crisis.

    “This isn’t about politics. Hurricane Ida didn’t care if you were a Democrat or Republican, rural or urban,” he said. “It’s destruction everywhere. It’s a matter of life and death, and we’re all in this together,” he said, a day before he planned to fly to Louisiana to view the damage and returning via Philadelphia, which was flooded by the same vast storm system.

    Biden’s remarks were a notable departure from what Americans had become accustomed to hearing about the climate crisis under Donald Trump, who as recently as last year denied that natural disasters in the US were increasingly related to human-caused climate change.

    When pressed to consider the climate crisis as a main cause of the California wildfires last year, Trump responded: “I don’t think science knows.” He fluctuated between calling the phenomenon a hoax, making jokes about it and then sowing ambiguity and doubt throughout his election campaign and one-term presidency.

    “It’ll start getting cooler,” he said after the deadly wildfires. “You watch.”

    In contrast, Biden this summer released the most ambitious clean energy and environmental justice plans yet seen from the White House through his flagship “Build Back Better” infrastructure and budget proposals.

    Last month, the Senate passed a $1tn bipartisan infrastructure bill that includes investments in improving roads, bridges, the electric grid and public transit, among other things, to make them more energy efficient, sustainable and resistant to extreme weather.

    The bill still has to pass the House of Representatives and after good progress faces further contentious arguments on its details later this month. A related, massive $3.5tn budget bill that promises a 10-year cascade of federal resources for family support, health and education programs and an aggressive drive to heal the climate, can be passed without Republican support but needs every Democratic senator to vote for it and is currently in jeopardy.

    Biden on Thursday said that when Congress goes back into session this month, he plans to push the Build Back Better plan.

    “That’s going to make historic investments in electrical infrastructure, modernizing our roads, bridges, our water systems, sewer and draining systems, electric grids and transmission lines and make them more resilient to these superstorms, wildfires and floods that are going to happen with increasing frequency and ferocity,” he said.

    Despite his advocacy for his infrastructure bill, Biden has been coming under criticism after the White House announced this week that it will open tens of millions of acres in the Gulf of Mexico for oil and gas exploration. Environmental groups have filed a lawsuit against the federal government for the leases.

    “How does this align with [the] Biden Administration’s commitment to take ‘bold steps to combat the climate crisis?” tweeted environmental group Ocean Conservancy on Wednesday.

    Los familiares de los políticos presos acompañaron la discusión y aprobación de la Ley de Amnistía.

    Los venezolanos saben que cuando una ley se promulga no es garantía de que se cumpla, sobre todo si el oficialismo está en contra de ella.

    Es lo que ocurre con la Ley de Amnistía, aprobada el martes en la Asamblea Nacional, ahora controlada por la oposición, después de un aguerrido debate que terminó a las 11pm.

    Ahora la Ley será enviada al Ejecutivo: el presidente, Nicolás Maduro, tiene 10 días para revisarla, promulgarla y ordenar su publicación en la Gaceta Oficial.

    Pero Maduro, en una cadena nacional que se trasmitió al tiempo que el debate, ya reiteró su opinión: “Están aprobando una ley para proteger a asesinos, criminales, narcotraficantes y terroristas“.

    “La verdad, tengan la seguridad que esa ley por aquí no pasa”, dijo el mandatario, que más que poder de veto puede emitir observaciones para que la Ley sea revisada.

    Si Maduro no se pronuncia en los próximos diez días, la Asamblea tiene facultad de promulgar la ley, que entonces queda a merced de la opinión del Tribunal Supremo de Justicia, responsable de verificar su constitucionalidad.

    Pocos tienen fe de que el TSJ, considerado un aliado del chavismo, le dé vía libre a esta ley, que busca liberar a 115 encarcelados, entre ellos el líder opositor Leopoldo López.

    Pero esa es la carta de la oposición.

    “Si el gobierno la sigue bloqueando, están desconociendo la voluntad del pueblo y se confirman ante el mundo como un régimen autoritario que fracasó y se está desmoronando”, le dijo a BBC Mundo Lilian Tintori, esposa de López y activista de derechos humanos.

    Qué busca

    Le Ley de Amnistía fue una de las principales propuestas de campaña de la oposición en las elecciones del 6 de diciembre, con las que el oficialismo perdió el control del Parlamento por primera vez en 17 años.

    Analistas y encuestadores atribuyeron la victoria de la oposición a la crisis económica y el voto castigo de muchos chavistas, más que a una voluntad de liberar a los llamados por la oposición presos políticos.

    Unas 70 personas de las que fueron arrestadas en las protestas de febrero de 2014 siguen detenidas.

    Aunque un 69% de los venezolanos considera positiva esta ley, según la encuestadora local Datanálisis, de las cuatro leyes presentadas por la oposición esta es la que mayor rechazo recibe: 17%.

    Según el Artículo 186 de la Constitución, la Asamblea Nacional puede dictar o decretar amnistías para olvidar un delito que según la ley se cometió.

    Eso permite que un procedimiento judicial, sentenciado o en curso, se extinga.

    Organizaciones internacionales y defensores de derechos humanos, expresidentes de un centenar de países y, por supuesto, la oposición venezolana consideran injustas las condenas o imputaciones contra estos 115 presos.

    Algunos son comisarios de la policía que jugaron un activo papel en el golpe de Estado contra Hugo Chávez en 2002 y supuestamente fueron autores de algunas de las muertes que ocurrieron ese día.

    La mayoría son algunos de los casi 4.000 manifestantes que fueron arrestados durante las protestas que convocó Leopoldo López en 2014 para pedir la renuncia de Maduro.

    Otros, como el alcalde metropolitano de Caracas, Antonio Ledezma, están acusados de conspiración por sus declaraciones y supuestas alianzas para derrocar e incluso asesinar al presidente Maduro.

    Y hay incluso un grupo de tuiteros que por sus mensajes contra el gobierno, considerados parte de una conspiración, están en prisión.

    Otra vez, el TSJ

    El obstáculo más grande que tiene esta ley –y cualquier otra que apruebe la Asamblea– es la Sala Constitucional del TSJ, que no ha fallado una sentencia contra el gobierno chavista en los últimos 10 años.

    Muchos de los magistrados del TSJ vienen de militar en el partido de gobierno y fueron nombrados en diciembre por la mayoría chavista del Parlamento justo después de perder las elecciones en una polémica movida que muchos calificaron de inconstitucional.

    Desde entonces el TSJ ha publicado varias sentencias que declaran inconstitucionales las medidas tomadas por la nueva Asamblea.

    Incluso, pese a la opinión contraria del Consejo Nacional Electoral, el TSJ suspendió la juramentación de tres magistrados de la oposición por el estado de Amazonas, cuyas elecciones fueron impugnadas.

    Y, con eso, el TSJ declaró que la oposición perdió los dos tercios de mayoría en la Asamblea con los que obtenía mucho más poder que con la mayoría calificada de tres quintos que tiene ahora.

    La estrategia

    La oposición, sin embargo, confía en que ni el presidente ni el TSJ podrán obstaculizar la Ley de Amnistía.

    De hecho, lo que el TSJ debe verificar sobre la amnistía es que los implicados hayan sido condenado por delitos de lesa humanidad, que no es el caso de ninguno de los 115 presos en cuestión.

    Pero la estrategia de la oposición parece ir más allá.

    El martes por la mañana la Asamblea publicó el orden del día en el Parlamento, y en él sólo se pautaba –para sorpresa de muchos– la discusión de un proyecto de ley para beneficiar a jubilados y pensionados.

    Lo que parecía iba a ser una ordinaria sesión del Parlamento terminó siendo una jornada crucial que contó con la presencia de Tintori y otras representantes de los presos y que terminó en la aprobación de la ley de Amnistía.

    La oposición dice que tiene su estrategia, pero se abstiene de darlas a conocer.

    “Nosotros tenemos nuestras estrategias y hay cosas que no vamos dar a conocer”, aseguró la diputada opositora Delsa Solórzano, presidente de la Comisión de Política Interior y moderadora del debate del martes.

    “Nuestra estrategia es clara y meridiana, llena de madurez y responsabilidad. Nosotros sabemos lo que hacemos”, le dijo a BBC Mundo.

    Justo después de la aprobación de la Ley de Amnistía, la Asamblea inició la discusión de una ley que precisamente busca reestructurar el TSJ y nombrar nuevos magistrados.

    La oposición ha anunciado una movilización nacional para presionar a Maduro a que renuncie, así como una enmienda constitucional que recorte el periodo presidencial y un referendo revocatorio para sacar al mandatario del poder.

    Al tiempo, dice Tintori a BBC Mundo, “seguiremos con nuestras campaña internacional de denunciar las violaciones de derechos humanos que todos los días este gobierno comete”.

    Y algunos apuntan a que el diálogo entre la oposición y el gobierno, donde se podría negociar la liberación de los llamados “presos políticos”, puede ser otra vía quizá menos traumática hacia el cambio.

    Maduro, sin embargo, no ha dado pistas de que esté interesado en dialogar.

    El trecho para liberar a los presos, aun con una ley aprobada en el Parlamento, todavía se ve largo. Y espinoso.
