São Paulo – The Brazilian confectionery industry is focusing on the foreign market this year. The launch of an international website in three languages is one of the bets for promoting the sweets overseas. Also, the industry is investing on product innovation and on packaging labelled in foreign languages in order to boost exports.

“The industry is beginning to invest more and more in innovation. We are the world’s third largest confectionery industry,” says Rodrigo Solano, the Export manager for the Brazilian Cocoa and Confectionery Manufacturers Association (Abicab). In terms of production and sales, Brazil is second only to the United States and Germany.

Solano says Abicab and the Brazilian Export and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brazil) are developing a strategy named Brazil Beyond Sugar for showcasing the country’s confectionery industry at foreign markets.

“Brazil is known as a major sugar exporting country, and we want to show the world what we do with all this sugar. All the more so because Brazilian cane-based sugar is different than the beet-based sugar made abroad; sugar made from cane is sweeter,” he says.

In November last year, Abicab launched its international website. Available in Arabic, English and Spanish, the site has had 17,500 page views so far. Most of the hits, including the three versions, originated from Germany, the United States, Italy, China and France.

Among Arab countries, the site had the most viewers in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Libya, Algeria and the United Arab Emirates. Solano explains that although they rank low on the list of visitors, when combined, the Arabs account for a significant portion of interested parties. “The Arab countries combined rank right below Germany,” he says.

The news on the website will be updated on a fortnightly basis, but the contents are renewed more frequently, including recipes, information on events and on the Brazilian industry. The address is www.sweetbrasil.org.br.

Exports

In 2013, the Brazilian confectionery industry exported 118,000 tonnes, down 3% from 2012, and grossing US$ 291.5 million. “The industry is restructuring. We are seeing a slowdown, as are all other industries,” says the Abicab manager regarding the decline in foreign sales.

He notes, however, that companies are working to offset the decline in sales. “There is a trend towards innovation, premium products and nutraceutics (items with nutritional properties). There are 300 flavours to explore in Brazil. It is highly likely we will see a healthy recovery,” he says.

However, Solano declines to make any forecasts concerning exports in 2014. “This year is a big question mark. The scenario remains highly volatile, and it will all hinge on the companies’ development and the response they will get from the world. I am very optimistic; some of our associates are carrying out aggressive actions targeting the foreign market,” he says.

The packaging is also a part of the sales strategy. “Almost all enterprises include translations into Arabic on their labels. The packaging is being completely adapted to the foreign market,” says Solano, noting that some companies are no longer exporting packaging in Portuguese with translations into other languages, and are opting instead to offer labels entirely written in the target languages.

Fairs and World Cup

For this year, Abicab has a few events in store for foreign buyers. During the World Cup, for instance, the association will bring six importers to have a close look at the Brazilian confectionery industry.

Fairs are also a part of Abicab’s international strategy. The organization is taking eight companies to the Gulfood, a trade show due from the 23rd to the 27th this month in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They are: Docile, Dori, Embaré, Garoto, Jazam, Harald, Peccin and Riclan.

In November, the association will take the companies to the Sweets and Snacks Middle East, also held in Dubai. “We are noticing that companies regard the Middle East as a key strategic market. The fairs in Dubai are often more action-packed than others, and this attracts our associates,” he says.

In 2013, the Middle East, including non-Arab countries in the region, accounted for 3% of the industry’s exports, having imported a combined 4,400 tonnes, up 4.2% from 2012.

FIRST ON FOX: Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee are warning that the safety of Americans who remain in Afghanistan is “in the hands” of the Taliban’s new interior minister, Sirajuddin Haqqani, the head of a designated terror organization and one of the FBI’s most-wanted terrorist operatives. 

The top Republican on the committee, Rep. John Katko, and the top Republican on the House Subcommittee on Intelligence & Counterterrorism, Rep. August Pfluger, wrote a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, first obtained by Fox News, laying out their concerns after the Taliban announced the formation of its new government in Afghanistan – including Haqqani as interior minister. 

WHITE HOUSE SAYS ‘NO RUSH’ TO RECOGNIZE NEWLY ANNOUNCED TALIBAN GOVERNMENT IN AFGHANISTAN

“As you are aware, the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan continues to pose increased terrorism risk to Americans both at home and abroad,” they wrote to Mayorkas. 

“With American citizens and our Afghan allies awaiting permission from the Taliban to leave the country on chartered flights – a previously unthinkable scenario that is wholly unacceptable to the American people – we are urgently concerned about the Taliban’s naming of one of the FBI’s most-wanted terrorist operatives, Sirajuddin Haqqani, head of a terrorist group known as the Haqqani network, as the country’s acting interior minister,” they wrote. 

Further, Katko and Pfluger warned that individuals serving as interior ministers often hold authorities “related to policies governing security, border enforcement and transportation,” saying that they are “concerned that the safety of American citizens may now be directly in the hands of a known terrorist operative.” 

Biden administration officials said this week that “just under” 100 Americans remain in Afghanistan. The State Department, on Monday, touted the safe evacuation of four American citizens from the country – without interference from the Taliban. 

The Biden administration completed a full withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan on Aug. 31, after airlifting more than 124,000 Americans and Afghan allies to safety following the Taliban’s swift takeover of the country. Administration officials have said the mission has shifted from a military one to “diplomatic,” maintaining that they are working with Americans still in Afghanistan to get them out of the country. 

STATE DEPARTMENT ON AFGHAN REFUGEES IN US: ‘WE’RE DOING ACCOUNTINGS ON THE BACK END’

“We are concerned that this newfound power in the hands of the Haqqani Network may further exacerbate circumstances leading to Afghanistan becoming a terrorist safe haven, accelerating plotting against the United States emanating from Afghanistan,” they wrote. 

Haqqani leads the Haqqani network, which has been designated by the U.S. government as a Foreign Terrorist Organization since 2012. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence describes the network as “a Sunni Islamist militant organization” that is “responsible for some of the highest-profile attacks of the Afghan war.”

“The Haqqanis are considered the most lethal and sophisticated insurgent group targeting U.S., Coalition, and Afghan forces in Afghanistan,” according to the DNI report. “They typically conduct coordinated small-arms assaults coupled with rocket attacks, IEDs, suicide attacks and attacks using bomb-laden vehicles.”

U.S. officials have blamed the Haqqani network for numerous high-profile attacks in Afghanistan, including the 2011 attack on the Kabul International Hotel and a pair of suicide bombings at the Indian Embassy. The group had also attacked the U.S. Embassy in Kabul in 2011 and is blamed for “the largest truck bomb ever built,” a 61,500-pound device intercepted by Afghan security forces in 2013.

Haqqani is also known as the head of the Taliban’s military strategy, and was placed in charge of security in Kabul after the militants seized the city last month. His exact age is unclear, but he is believed to have been born in either Afghanistan or Pakistan between 1973 and 1980, according to the FBI, which placed him on its most wanted list and is offering a $5 million reward.

His father, Jalaluddin Haqqani, founded their namesake jihadist group and handed over leadership before his death in 2018 at 71.  But in the 1980s, the elder Haqqani was among the U.S.-backed mujahedeen warlords battling a Soviet Union invasion and was a close friend and mentor of the slain al Qaeda terrorist Usama bin Laden, according to the U.S. Director of National Intelligence’s Counterterrorism Guide.

Since 2008, Sirajuddin Haqqani has been wanted for questioning in connection with a Kabul hotel bombing that killed six people, including one American. He is also suspected of coordinating and taking part in attacks against U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan and playing a role in the failed assassination attempt of former Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

He has a long lists of aliases, according to the FBI: Siraj, Khalifa, Mohammad Siraj, Sarajadin, Cirodjiddin, Seraj, Arkani, Khalifa (Boss) Shahib, Halifa, Ahmed Zia, Sirajuddin Jallaloudine Haqqani, Siraj Haqqani, Serajuddin Haqani, Siraj Haqani and Saraj Haqani.

And he’s not the only member of the Haqqani network with influence within the Taliban.

Sirajuddin Haqqani’s younger brother, Anas Haqqani, was freed as part of a prisoner exchange in 2019 that also secured the release of American Kevin King and Australian Timothy Weeks, who had been held hostage by Taliban fighters for over three years. Then he led a Taliban delegation to meet with ex-officials of the toppled Afghan government last month. After the Taliban seized Kabul last month, Haqqani’s uncle, Khalil Haqqani, delivered public remarks at the city’s largest mosque – receiving cheers in response, according to The New York Times.

The Republicans also pointed to the Aug. 26 suicide bombing in Kabul, which took the lives of 13 U.S. service members, saying that with Haqqani having “known ties to al Qaeda, including supporting similar suicide bombing attacks,” they “struggle to understand how the Biden administration’s reliance on vaguely articulated ‘over-the-horizon’ counterterrorism capabilities will be sufficient in protecting the homeland.”

Republicans also pointed to a recent statement made by Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who said “there’s at least a very good probability of a broader civil war and that will then in turn lead to conditions that could, in fact, lead to a reconstitution of al Qaeda or a growth of ISIS or other myriad terrorist groups.” 

Republicans went on to demand answers as to how the Department of Homeland Security is supporting diplomatic efforts to evacuate the remaining Americans in Afghanistan and Afghan allies, amid reports that the Taliban is preventing flights from leaving. 

As for those seeking to leave Afghanistan, including Americans, a Taliban spokesperson said individuals have not been able to leave if they do not have proper documentation, but said the creation of the new government would help to better facilitate departures. 

“Regarding the flights, they have to obey our law,” Zabijullah Mujahid, the Taliban spokesman, said. “They have to have proper documents and if they don’t have documents, we will not allow them to go.” 

He explained that individuals “have to have passports, have to have visas, and we have to have an exit stamp on their passports – from now, we’ve had nothing.” 

“Tomorrow, on, we will definitely restart the work of departments and then people will be able to travel abroad,” he said. “So, the next few days, people will be able to travel abroad.” 

Republicans also asked for any intelligence that DHS has related to the Haqqani network’s operations in Afghanistan and the region, whether the network maintains “external plotting capabilities for terrorist attacks,” and if DHS has assessed Haqqani’s appointment to be a signal of a close relationship between the Taliban and terrorist groups. 

“How will DHS navigate potential interactions with a known terrorist on security issues under control of the Taliban’s interior ministry, including interactions pertinent to DHS efforts to help evacuate American citizens and Afghan allies, such as border enforcement and vetting?” they wrote. 

PENTAGON: ‘NO QUESTION’ AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL MAKES IDENTIFYING TERROR THREATS MORE DIFFICULT

“What impact does having the Haqqani network ingrained with Afghanistan’s senior Taliban leadership have on DHS’s overall assessment of terrorist threats to the United States?” they added. 

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin this week admitted that there is “no question” it will be “more difficult to identify and engage threats that emanate from the region” after the full withdrawal of U.S. troops, but said the U.S. is “committed to making sure that that threats are not allowed to develop that could create significant challenges for us in the homeland.” 

The Taliban, on Tuesday, formally announced the formation of its new government. The Taliban spokesperson said positions within the government are now in an “acting capacity,” but many members of the old guard are part of the new government. 

The government, according to a report by the BBC, will be led by Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund, with Taliban co-founder Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar as deputy. Other appointments include Mullah Yaqoob as acting defense minister and Mullah Abdul Salam Hanafi as a second deputy. 

Despite the Taliban’s announcement of its new government, the White House is in “no rush” to recognize them as legitimate.

“There’s no rush to recognition, and that will be planned dependent on what steps the Taliban takes,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said. “The world will be watching whether they allow for American citizens, whether they allow individuals to leave who want to, and how they treat women and girls around the country.” 

She added: “I don’t have a timeline for you.” 

Psaki’s comments come after President Biden, on Monday, said recognition of the Taliban government was “a long way off.” 

“That’s a long way off,” he said again.

Las autoridades divulgaron imágenes de las cámaras de seguridad de los hermanos Khalid e Ibrahim El Bakraoui.

El fiscal de Bélgica Frederic Van Leeuw confirmó este miércoles que Ibrahim El Bakraoui se inmoló en el aeropuerto de Bruselas y que su hermano, Khalid El Bakraoui (27 años), fue uno de los atacantes del metro.

El atentado en el aeropuerto dejó 11 muertos, mientras que el de la estación de metro de Maalbeek, que sucedió cerca de una hora después, terminó con la vida de 20 personas. Al menos 300 personas resultaron heridas, de las cuales 61 se encuentran en estado crítico.

Nacidos en Bruselas, los hermanos El Bakraoui eran de nacionalidad belga y tenían antecedente penales, aunque no relacionados con terrorismo, añadió Van Leeuw. Ambos fueron identificados por pruebas de ADN.

Ibrahim es el hombre que está en el medio de la foto con los tres sospechosos que divulgó inicialmente la policía belga. Fiscales belgas dijeron que dejó un carta en la que habla de la desesperación que sentía.

Por otra parte, el fiscal dijo que el segundo atacante de la terminal aérea, quien se cree que también murió en el acto, no ha sido identificado y que un tercero está prófugo.

Este último tenía una bolsa con explosivos que dejó detrás. Según el fiscal, se trataba de la bomba más grande, que detonó por sí misma por la alta volatibilidad de los explosivos caseros que cargaba, pero no hirió a nadie.

Estuvo en Turquía

La policía ahora busca a un tercer supuesto atacante, que está a la fuga.

Este miércoles, el presidente de Turquía, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, informó que en junio del año pasado uno de los hermanos El Bakraoui, el fallecido Ibrahim, fue capturado en la frontera entre Turquía y Siria, y posteriormente deportado a Holanda.

Según declaró el presidente, las autoridades belgas y holandeses fueron informadas al respecto: “A pesar de nuestras advertencias de que esta persona era un terrorista combatiente extranjero, Bélgica no pudo establecer vínculos con el terrorismo”.

El ministro de justicia de Bélgica, Koen Geens, ratificó que sabían que el hombre había sido enviado a Holanda, pero aclaró que se lo había identificado como un criminal común que estaba bajo fianza, no como un sospechoso de terrorismo.

Además de los 31 muertos, las explosiones en el aeropuerto y la del metro dejaron unos 300 heridos. Unas 150 personas continúan internadas, de las cuales 61 se encuentran en cuidados intensivos.

Los ataques, reivindicados por el grupo autodenominado Estado Islámico (EI), tienen a Bélgica en alerta máxima y se decretaron tres días de duelo nacional. Además, el miércoles hubo un minuto de silencio al mediodía en la hora local.

Hermanos y militantes

Los hermanos El Bakraoui no son los únicos parientes vinculados a ataques recientes luego reivindicados por el EI.

Brahim Abdeslam, de 31 años y nacido en Francia, fue uno de los atacantes que se inmoló en un bar en el bulevar Voltaire durante los ataques en París del 13 de noviembre pasado que terminaron con la vida de 130 personas.

Su hermano menor, Salah Abdeslam, de 26 años y nacido en Bélgica, era considerado uno de los atacantes de la sala de conciertos Le Bataclan, donde se produjo la mayor cantidad de muertos.

Durante los cuatro meses que estuvo prófugo, fue el hombre más buscado por las autoridades europeas. Se especula que su captura, el 19 de marzo, pudo haber precipitado los ataques de Bruselas.

Recientemente también está el caso de los hermanos chechenos Dzhokhar y Tamerlan Tsarnaev, quienes llevaron a cabo el atentado contra la Maratón de Boston el 15 de abril de 2013, en el que murieron tres personas y 250 más resultaron heridas.

Decenas de personas recordaron a las víctimas este miércoles en Bruselas.

La policía ya llevó a cabo una operación en un apartamento del barrio Schaerbeek, un suburbio de Bruselas, donde descubrió “un artefacto explosivo que contenía, entre otras cosas, clavos”.

Según la fiscalía, el lugar fue descubierto gracias a los datos proporcionados por un taxista que llevó a los tres sospechosos hasta el aeropuerto.

El conductor contactó a la policía después de que la foto de los tres hombres fuera difundida.

Los investigadores también hallaron en la casa productos químicos y una bandera del EI.

Van Leeuw dijo que en una papelera cercana a la zona de explosiones en el aeropuerto, los investigadores también hallaron una carta de Ibrahim El Bakraoui que decía: “Estoy en apuros. Ya no sé qué hacer, me buscan en todos lados. Ya no estoy seguro. Si me entrego, me encerrarán en la cárcel”.

Estado Islámico reivindicó la autoría de los atentados en un texto publicado en inglés en el que se señala a Bélgica como uno de los países que “participa en la coalición internacional contra EI”.

En entrevista exclusiva a RPP Noticias, el vocalista de Ádammo contó todos los detalles sobre la difusión de un video íntimo.

Ezio Oliva y las 10 frases que dej su entrevista en RPP Noticias| RPP

Un tanto nervioso se dejó ver el personaje que hace unos días remeció la farándula local por ser el protagonista de un video íntimo difundido en las redes sociales.

Ezio Oliva, vocalista de la agrupación Ádammo, llegó esta mañana hasta las instalaciones de RPP Noticias junto con su abogado Julio Rodríguez, para contar su verdad en una entrevista exclusiva.

“Quiero empezar diciendo que soy un ser humano más allá de una persona pública”. Con estas palabras el cantante inició la entrevista, que por más de 15 minutos mantuvo no solo a sus fans y televidentes atentos, sino también a diversos medios de comunicación que lo esperaban en los exteriores del edificio de San Isidro.

Fue en Ampliación de Noticias donde explicó que el responsable o responsables de la difusión del video robaron la información de su computadora personal. Según indicó, acudió a un sitio formal a hacer un arreglo técnico a la computadora y allí es donde ocurrió el robo.

“Me está apoyando y se está portando de una manera muy seria, muy alturada”. Esta frase la empleó para referirse a su actual pareja, Karen Schwarz, quien también se vio involucrada ya que muchos especulaban que ella era la protagonista del video, versión que Ezio desmintió.

Pero no fue la única que lamentó la difusión del video. La familia de Ezio también. “Para mí esta es una situación sumamente difícil. Para mi familia también. Yo tengo una madre, tengo mujeres maravillosas en mi familia. Yo a las mujeres las respeto, las quiero”, comentó el cantante.

Este hecho motivó al cantante a tomar acciones legales contra los responsables de la filtración y difusión del video.

“La divulgación de esta información genera un delito de difamación y un delito contra la intimidad agravado. Hay una serie de delitos y hay que identificar quiénes son los responsables de este tipo de actos para poder presentar las denuncias que correspondan”, dijo su abogado Julio Rodríguez.

Ligeramente más relajado, Ezio abandonó los estudios de RPP, escoltado por diversos medios de comunicación que lo esperaron en los exteriores de esta emisora.

El psiquiatra explicó en RPP Noticias hizo un perfil de los asesinos como el tirador de Independencia.

El especialista explicó el perfil psiquiátrico de los asesinos en masa. | Fuente: Video: RPP / Foto: Andina

El múltiple asesinato perpetrado la noche del viernes en el distrito de Independencia corresponde a la categoría de mass shooting o tiroteo en masa. Este tipo de casos tiene mayor incidencia en países como Estados Unidos, donde se registran hasta cuatro al año. En nuestro país, este sería el primer caso.

Así lo explicó el psiquiatra Humberto Castillo a RPP Noticias. El especialista contó que asesinos en masa como Eduardo Romero Naupay comparten algunas características con homicidas seriales. “Este sería el primer asesinato en masa que ocurre en el Perú. Los asesinos en masa son distintos a los asesinos en serie, pero tienen en común el hecho de que experimentan frustración, guardan odios y tienen acceso a vías para cometer crímenes”. 

En entrevista con el programa Ampliación de Noticias, Castillo reveló que el 99% de ellos son hombres con vidas solitarias y fantasías de venganza. A esto se suma el hecho desencadenante que los lleva a asesinar. “Es una suma de factores sociales, psicológicos, circunstanciales y materiales”

Burlan controles. Otro de los puntos que indicó el experto es que las personas con problemas psicopáticos desarrollan habilidades para ocultar sus intenciones y deseos. Esto es lo que habría ocurrido con Romero Naupay, quien pese a tener licencia para portar armas vencida, obtuvo legalmente el permiso en un primer momento. 

“Los test para otorgar la licencia para portar armas tienen falsos positivos y falsos negativos. Si bien pueden ser rigurosos, los factores que convergen en los asesinos (como el odio y las fantasías con la muerte) son, a veces, ocultados por ellos mismos”. 

Eduardo Romero Naupay era natural de Huánuco y se dedicaba al comercio ambulatorio de sánguches. Antes, había tenido un empleo como agente de seguridad, por lo que accedió a un permiso para portar armas. | Fuente: Facebook Eduardo Romero N

Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants, strongly criticized Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg on Wednesday, arguing that he was perpetuating a “gross myth” about union workers’ health care.

The union president, who represents about 50,000 members nationwide, has previously voiced support for Senator Bernie Sanders and his signature Medicare for All proposal. Nelson took issue with a tweet posted by Buttigieg on Wednesday morning that suggested Sanders’ health care policy ideas would harm union workers.

“There are 14 million union workers in America who have fought hard for strong, employer-provided health benefits. Medicare for All Who Want It protects their plans and union members’ freedom to choose the coverage that’s best for them,” the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor wrote.

But Nelson quickly responded, retweeting the post and arguing that Buttigieg’s assessment was misleading.

“This is offensive and dangerous. Stop perpetuating this gross myth. Not every union member has union healthcare plans that protect them. Those that do have it, have to fight like hell to keep it. If you believe in Labor then you’d understand an injury to one is an injury to all,” the union president wrote.

“For profit healthcare doesn’t work, @PeteButtigieg. It’s killing people & putting working people in financial ruin. The whole country knows it,” she added in a follow-up tweet. “Collective bargaining is about problem solving. Don’t use unions to promote division – that’s only good for the profiteers.”

A spokesperson for Buttigieg’s campaign referred Newsweek to comments made by the candidate during an MSNBC interview on Wednesday morning.

“Nevada is a good example of a place where there is, there are a lot of union workers who sometimes gave concessions on wages in order to get excellent plans,” Buttigieg said. “I’m thinking about culinary workers, for example. A lot of folks across the AFL-CIO who are prioritizing health care as an issue, and they are not interested in Senator Sanders’ vision of eliminating all private plans because they actually got and fought for good health care coverage that they have right now.”

Last August, Nelson asserted in an interview with Hill.TV that Medicare for All enjoyed “broad support” within the union community. “This is really something that is very unifying for union members across the country and for all the people that they care about who are not union members and don’t have access to the same health care,” she said.

Nelson also noted that companies have regularly been coming to union leaders to say they can no longer afford the rising cost of health care, and that many unions have been forced to negotiate cuts in coverage. “The discussion is always around how are we going to minimize the damage of it being eroded,” she said.

“@BernieSanders knows we have to ensure healthcare is reformed to provide care for all – otherwise we’re all lost,” Nelson tweeted last July during the second round of Democratic debates.

The Sanders campaign has regularly touted its growing list of national, state-level and local union endorsements. On the national level, the campaign has been formally backed by the American Postal Workers Union, National Nurses United, National Union of Healthcare Workers (which has co-endorsed Senator Elizabeth Warren) and the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America.

While Buttigieg has campaigned on strong support for labor protections and bolstering unions—as have Sanders, Warren and former Vice President Joe Biden—the former mayor has struggled to gain endorsements from unions. Buttigieg’s tweet and comments to MSNBC appear intended to capitalize on criticism of Sanders’ Medicare for All proposal from Nevada’s Culinary Workers Union ahead of the state’s caucuses on February 22.

As Sanders celebrated his win in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday evening, the Nevada union, which represents about 60,000 workers, launched a campaign of physical flyers, emails and texts saying that the senator wanted to “end” union health care.

Many union members nationwide have raised concerns that Sanders’ plan, saying it would do away with health care benefits that they’ve won through significant negotiating efforts. But some analysts and union leaders have concluded that a Medicare for All system would actually provide better health care for most union workers across the country.

Buttigieg has proposed creating a Medicare for All system that would allow people to choose a government-run insurance plan. At the same time, they could keep their private insurance instead. But Buttigieg’s critics argue that such a system would undermine serious health care reform because private insurance companies would remain influential.

Notably, Sanders’ health care plan would not “end” insurance benefits for anyone. It instead calls for transitioning all Americans to universal, government-backed insurance that, the candidate argues, would do away with deductibles and copayments while also expanding covered treatment.

Sanders and Buttigieg have emerged as the early front-runners for the Democratic party’s nomination. While the results of Iowa’s caucuses have not been finalized, Buttigieg appears to have narrowly won by two “state delegate equivalents,” or about 0.1 percent. But Sanders won the state’s popular vote by more than 2,600 votes, and both contenders have declared victory. In New Hampshire on Tuesday, Sanders was the clear winner, but Buttigieg had a very close second-place finish.

Nationwide, Sanders is now leading in most national polls. Buttigieg, however, is still polling relatively low, in fourth or fifth place in most surveys. Both candidates hope for a strong finish in Nevada later this month to bolster their front-runner status, but recent polls suggest the race will be between Sanders and Biden in that state, where Buttigieg is polling fourth or fifth.

Did Google News really close in Spain? If you consider Google News to be the ability to browse stories by topic, especially from a dedicated home page, yes. But if it’s the ability to search for and find news stories, then arguably, Google News still lives.

Anyone trying to reach the Google News Spain home page gets a closure message, as we covered yesterday. However, Google News as a dedicated vertical search engine continues to operate in two ways.

First, Google is inserting news content into a “En las noticias” box within regular search results of Google Spain, similar to how it does this with “In the news” box for its English language sites. This is all part of Google Universal Search, where Google blends results from its vertical search engines like shopping, images and maps into regular results.

Below is a screenshot from Google.es this morning reflecting news about the Pakistan school shooting from publisher El Pais and other news sites:

The other way is that after someone does a search, they can narrow listings down just to news content using the “Noticias” link (which is the same as the News link on English-language sites). This provides them with Google News Spain content, just without the ability to browse stories by topic. Here’s how it looks:

Google tells Search Engine Land that both the “en las noticias” box and the “Noticias” link will remain according to Google.

So, is this still “Google News” living on or merely the highlighting of news stories relevant to a topical query? Google would probably argue the latter. However, we may start to see a debate about whether the new Spanish “anti-piracy” law would apply to these results as well. I suspect the algorithm that powered Google News is still generating results for this box.

By the way, in the wake of the closure of Google News Spain yesterday “external traffic” had fallen 10 to 15 percent, according to data provided to Mathew Ingram by Chartbeat. However overall traffic at the time of the analysis was relatively stable, suggesting direct navigation.

In Germany news publishers saw a dramatic traffic loss upon removal of their “rich snippets” from Google News. It remains to be seen if there’s a comparable impact in Spain as a result of the shuttering of Google News. These early data suggest not.

What’s your view? Is Google maintaining an abbreviated version of Google News on its or is this something different?

La Gran Época presenta las últimas noticias de Cuba. Ayer a la noche, oficiales de migración impidieron viajar al exterior al activista Carlos Amel Oliva, argumentando que tenía una prohibición para salir de la isla. Por otro lado, Cuba y Rusia firmaron un acuerdo para que los condenados cumplan sus sentencias en sus países de origen. En el mundo deportivo, hoy arranca la última fase clasificatoria de la Serie Nacional de Béisbol que definirá a los mejores cuatro equipos de la temporada. Por último, se estrenó en español la miniserie ‘Cuatro estaciones en La Habana’, que si bien se puede acceder a la misma desde la isla, el poco ancho de banda dificulta que cargue el film en internet.

Impiden viajar al exterior al opositor Carlos Amel Oliva

Oficiales de migración impidieron ayer por la tarde al activista opositor cubano Carlos Amel Oliva tomar el avión que lo trasladaría a Madrid, para luego viajar a Polonia para participar en un evento de partidos democráticos en Varsovia.

En el aeropuerto José Martí, en los controles de migración, los oficiales de control lo separaron de la fila y posteriormente le dijeron que en el sistema informático figuraba que tenía una prohibición para salir de Cuba, según comentó Oliva al portal 14ymedio.

“No tengo multas por pagar ni estoy sujeto a proceso investigativo judicial o policial”, dijo el activista. “El único motivo posible era mi condición de disidente, de opositor pacífico”, afirmó.

Cuba y Rusia acuerdan que los condenados cumplan castigos en sus países de origen

Cuba y Rusia acordaron que los condenados puedan cumplir las sentencias en sus países de origen.

El acuerdo fue suscripto el pasado martes en La Habana por la Ministra de Justicia de Cuba, María Esther Reus, y su par ruso, Alexander Konovalov.

El Ministerio de Justicia cubano señaló a través de un comunicado que el acuerdo aspira a contribuir en la colaboración de la justicia penal, “animados por el deseo de facilitar la rehabilitación de los sancionados”.

Konovalov, por su parte, destacó que el convenio se enmarca en un tratado más amplio que se suscribió hace poco más de un año entre ambas naciones.

Serie Nacional de Béisbol: inicia la última fase clasificatoria

Los seis mejores equipos de la Serie Nacional de Béisbol comienzan hoy -en una jornada de dobles juegos en los estadios- la última etapa clasificatoria de la Serie Nacional de Béisbol.

El líder del torneo, Matanzas, recibe a Camagüey en el estadio Victoria de Girón. El visitante necesita mejorar su desempeño para posicionarse en los primeros lugares de la tabla.

Por su parte, el último campeón, Ciego de Ávila, se medirá con Holguín en el parque José Ramón Cepero.

Por último, en Mártires de Barbados, Villa Clara y Granma buscará sumar puntos para lograr ubicarse en los cuatro primeros puestos que darán el pase a las semifinales.

 ‘Cuatro estaciones en La Habana’ se estrenó en Netflix

El viernes pasado se estrenó en Netflix en español la miniserie ‘Cuatro estaciones en La Habana’, que es una adaptación de las novelas policíacas de Leonardo Padura Four Seasons.

La historia de la serie –dividida en cuatro partes- cuenta la investigación del capitán Mario Conde, interpretado por Jorge Perugorría, a partir del asesinato de un profesor en La Habana, a mediados de los noventa.

Dirigida por Félix Viscarret,  la serie se complementa con las actuaciones de Carlos Enrique Almirante, Mario Guerra, Luís Alberto García y Juana Costa.

Si bien se puede acceder a Netfilx desde Cuba, la poca velocidad de navegación hace que sea difícil ver vídeos online. Sin embargo, este tipo de films populares se distribuyen alternativamente en la isla.

How will the election work?

All registered California voters are eligible to participate in the special election next week. Mail-in ballots have been sent out to all active registered voters.

The ballots have two parts. The first simply asks whether Newsom should be removed as governor. If more than 50% vote “yes,” it’s the end of the road for Newsom.

The second part of the ballot asks which candidate should succeed Newsom. If the governor is recalled, the replacement candidate who receives the most votes will be elected to the remainder of Newsom’s term, which ends Jan. 2, 2023.

Voters can fill out just one part of the ballot, if they want. They can also select a replacement candidate even if they vote against recalling Newsom.

How did we get here?

Opponents of Newsom gathered the nearly 1.5 million signatures required to trigger the recall election. That threshold equaled 12% of the votes cast in the previous gubernatorial election in 2018.

The petition had been approved in June 2020, and its backers were originally given a deadline of Nov. 17 of last year to collect the signatures. But they received a four-month extension due to the pandemic’s impact on their efforts.

That additional time proved pivotal. Signatures began pouring in in late 2020, after photos emerged of Newsom dining mask-free with lobbyists at the vaunted and extravagantly expensive restaurant, The French Laundry.

At the time, Newsom and the state government were advising Californians to mask up and follow social distancing rules as Covid cases began to surge.

Newsom apologized for attending the dinner, saying he “made a bad mistake” and acknowledging that “the spirit of what I’m preaching all the time was contradicted.”

But the backlash refocused the recall election on Covid — even though the pandemic was not mentioned in the original petition.

Rather, it references homelessness, high taxes and other issues that conservatives have long included among their chief criticisms of California. The petition, brought in February 2020 by Orrin Heatlie, a retired sheriff’s sergeant, was the sixth attempt to recall Newsom, who was inaugurated in 2019.

But the recall campaign’s website now puts The French Laundry incident first on its list of reasons to remove Newsom.

Who’s running?

There are 46 challengers running to unseat Newsom. Like the 2003 recall that made Arnold Schwarzenegger the state’s governor, this year’s election has put a wide variety of personalities on display.

Of the 24 Republican candidates on the ballot, talk radio host Larry Elder has emerged as the clear front-runner among that group.

Elder, a supporter of former President Donald Trump, has reportedly raised more than $13 million, dwarfing most of his recall rivals while still trailing far behind the tens of millions raised by opponents of Newsom’s removal.

Other Republican candidates include John Cox, who has traveled to campaign events with a live Kodiak bear in tow, and Caitlyn Jenner, the former Olympic athlete and reality TV personality.

Among the nine Democrats are Hollywood actor Patrick Kilpatrick and YouTube millionaire Kevin Paffrath, as well as a college student, a free speech lawyer and a “cannabis policy advisor” who is asking Californians to vote against recalling Newsom.

Two members of the Green Party, one Libertarian Party member and 10 unaffiliated candidates are also on the ballot.

Who’s expected to win?

With just days to go before the election, Newsom appears increasingly likely to hold onto his seat.

For most of last month, polls compiled by FiveThirtyEight showed voters favored keeping Newsom as governor, but only by a slight margin.

More recent surveys show the preference to keep Newsom outweighs the option to remove him by more than 10 points, according to FiveThirtyEight’s polling average.

Meanwhile, betting markets show the recall effort losing much of its steam over the past month. Newsom’s odds of staying in power are at their highest point since early July.

How unusual is all this?

Attempts to recall elected officials are not uncommon in California — in fact, there have been 179 of them since 1913.

But a small fraction of those petitions garnered enough signatures to prompt a ballot, and in only six instances has the official in question actually been recalled.

Just one governor, the unpopular Democrat Gray Davis, has ever been recalled in California. That 2003 special election saw 135 candidates vie for Davis’ job, including a comedian, a porn star and others who had never run for office before.

Davis was ultimately replaced by Republican Schwarzenegger, the former champion bodybuilder and action movie megastar, who enjoyed universal name recognition.

How will the recall affect the U.S.?

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are both slated to campaign for Newsom this week in California.

A Newsom loss in the recall could have major consequences for Democrats across the country — beyond merely the embarrassment and discouragement of losing control of a deep-blue state a year before the midterm elections.

Control of the U.S. Senate could be at stake at some point.

Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, 88, has held her seat since 1992. The oldest sitting senator in the U.S., her health has come under increasing scrutiny. But she maintained in March that she still intends to serve out the rest of her current term, which ends in early 2025.

If Feinstein does leave office early, the governor will appoint her successor. If Newsom is replaced by a Republican, then that governor could appoint a Republican to fill the vacant Senate seat.

That could upend the razor-thin Democratic majority in the Senate, where the two parties are split 50-50 and the vice president wields the tiebreaking vote. Without that slim advantage, Democrats’ hopes for passing key parts of Biden’s already ambitious agenda would likely fall out of reach.

Republicans are eager to have the GOP’s first U.S. Senate seat from California since John Seymour in the early 1990s.

“They’re afraid I’m going to replace her with a Republican, which I most certainly would do and that would be an earthquake in Washington, D.C.,” Elder, the GOP front-runner, reportedly said on another conservative talk radio show.

Former special counsel Robert Mueller said the “report is my testimony” as he read his opening statement to Congress.
USA TODAY

Now what? 

The long-awaited testimony by Robert Mueller before two congressional committees Wednesday didn’t drop bombshells or spark the fireworks many Democrats had hoped for, but it will have repercussions.

From impeachment to indictment, the former special counsel’s appearance could have an impact on Republicans and Democrats, on congressional decisions in the next few weeks and the presidential election next year. 

Here are five ways that his seven hours in the witness chair could reverberate down the road: 

1) Impeaching the president 

It just got less likely. 

Of 235 House Democrats, at least 92 have endorsed launching an impeachment inquiry of President Trump – importantly, not including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Before the hearings, those who support impeachment saw Mueller’s testimony as the most likely way to ignite outrage and, perhaps, meet Pelosi’s demand that there be broad public sentiment and the possibility of winning a conviction in the Republican-controlled Senate before moving ahead. 

While Mueller outlined an assault on democracy by Russians and a response by President Trump and his campaign that was “problematic” and worse, his testimony left Democrats frustrated. As he had warned beforehand, he declined to expand on the contents of his 448-page report, two years in the making.

He refused to be cinematic, to deliver a sound bite or create a viral moment.

“I refer you to the report,” he repeated again and again.

When committee members asked him to read aloud passages from the report, he told them he’d prefer that they read them instead.

He didn’t sketch the narrative arc that might persuade skeptics to endorse impeachment. In the opening moments, Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler prompted Mueller to state that he hadn’t cleared Trump of allegations of obstructing justice, noting that Justice Department guidelines prohibit indicting a sitting president.

“Did you actually totally exonerate the president?” Nadler asked.

“No,” Mueller replied.

CLOSE

Rep. Nadler asked Robert Mueller to expound upon his “no” answer on whether report offer “total exoneration” of President Donald Trump.
USA TODAY

But over the hours that followed, he declined to opine on whether impeachment was warranted.

Some additional House Democrats may now support impeachment, but Mueller’s testimony didn’t seem to provide the clear tipping point that some Democrats wanted – enough to, say, get the additional 26 members on board that would create a majority of the Democratic caucus behind the inquiry.

The clock is ticking. Congress now heads into the August recess, and the time is fast approaching when Democrats are likely to conclude that defeating Trump in the 2020 election takes precedence, and is more feasible, than impeaching him before then.

2) Indicting the president

It could happen, Mueller made clear, once Trump has moved out of the White House.

Indeed, in what seemed for at time to be a blockbuster exchange, Mueller confirmed that he would have indicted Trump for obstruction of justice if not for Justice Department guidance that prohibits charging a sitting president.

Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu of California had ticked through Trump actions that, he said, met the “three elements” behind the crime of obstruction. Then he said, “The reason, again, that you did not indict Donald Trump is because of the O.L.C. opinion?” (That is a reference to DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel.)

“That is correct,” Mueller said.

CLOSE

Rep. Ken Buck asked Robert Mueller if you could charge the president with obstruction after he leaves office. Mueller replied, “Yes.”
USA TODAY

But after the lunch break, Mueller clarified that wasn’t what he meant. “What I wanted to clarify is the fact that we did not make any determination with regard to culpability in any way,” he said. He didn’t decide whether to indict Trump because that wasn’t a possibility. 

That said, he confirmed several times that a president could be indicted for obstruction of justice or other crimes after he left office.

Democratic Rep. Mike Quigley of Illinois asked if Trump might be able to wait out an indictment by winning a second term. “What if a president serves beyond the statute of limitations?” he asked. 

Mueller said he didn’t really have an answer. The statute of limitations on federal obstruction charges, Quigley said, was five years.

3) Shaping public opinion

Mueller’s testimony may have hardened public views, but it’s hard to believe it reshaped them.

Before the hearing, most Americans opposed impeaching Trump. In an ABC News/Washington Post Poll this month, nearly six in 10 said the House shouldn’t launch impeachment proceedings. That’s true even though a majority have also called Mueller credible and said that the special counsel’s report didn’t exonerate Trump.

On this, there has predictably been a partisan divide. Most Democrats supported impeachment; most Republicans said Trump had been cleared.

‘Not a witch hunt’:Mueller testifies on Trump and Russian election meddling in 2016

The hearing isn’t likely to have bridged that division. The Republicans and Democrats questioning Mueller seemed to have wandered into different hearings. What was the issue? Democrats argued that Trump was guilty of obstruction of justice, even if he couldn’t be charged with the crime. Republicans attacked the origins of the inquiry as tainted – un-American, one declared – and said it had been pursued for partisan reasons.

4) Nominating a Democrat

Mueller sometimes stumbled in his responses, often asked that questions be repeated and, understandably, looked exhausted by the time he testified before the House Intelligence Committee in the afternoon. When Democratic Rep. Greg Stanton of Arizona lobbed what was intended to be a softball, Mueller was unable to remember which president appointed him as U.S. Attorney in Massachusetts. (He said George H.W. Bush; it was Ronald Reagan.) 

He was less facile, less nimble than he had been in dozens of previous hearings before Congress during his time as FBI director.

“This is delicate to say, but Mueller, whom I deeply respect, has not publicly testified before Congress in at least six years,” David Axelrod, the top strategist in Barack Obama’s campaigns, wrote on Twitter. “And he does not appear as sharp as he was then.”

That lesson might not be lost on Democrats who have expressed concerns about the prospect of nominating a presidential candidate in his 70s to challenge the 73-year-old Trump next year – fairly or not, and at the risk of being accused of ageism.

Mueller will turn 75 next month. Former vice president Joe Biden is 76. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is 77.

Alex Castellanos, a veteran Republican strategist who has worked on several presidential campaigns, drew that line. “Note to sleepy @Joe_Biden:,” he tweeted. “In next debate, do not say, ‘Could you repeat that question?”

5) And Trump’s takeaway

Judging from the temperature of his tweets, Trump moved from early-morning anger about the hearings to afternoon delight.

“NO COLLUSION, NO OBSTRUCTION!” he declared in one tweet as the hearing was about to begin. In another, he denounced the Mueller investigation as “The Greatest Witch Hunt in U.S. History, by far!”

By the time the hearings were drawing to a close, the president seemed increasingly relieved, then even jubilant in a string of more than two dozen tweets and retweets that ridiculed Mueller and claimed vindication for himself.

“I would like to thank the Democrats for holding this morning’s hearings,” he wrote in one, calling them “a disaster for Robert Mueller & the Democrats.” And this: “TRUTH IS A FORCE OF NATURE!”

Las familias de los 600.000 inmigrantes indocumentados que viven en Houston (la tercera ciudad de Estados Unidos con la mayor presencia de este grupo según el Centro de Investigación Pew) huyeron de sus hogares para escapar de las inundaciones a pesar de la preocupación que muchos sentían por la posibilidad de ser rechazados en los refugios o enfrentar la hostilidad de los agentes de inmigración.

“La gente estaba diciendo que los hombres de inmigración vendrían a revisar nuestros papeles”, dijo Eloy González, de 40 años, un camionero que llegó al refugio del Centro de Convenciones George R. Brown. “Los rumores son falsos pero el miedo continúa”.

A pesar de que líderes políticos de Houston y voceros de las autoridades trataron de tranquilizar a los residentes al decir que la aplicación de la inmigración rutinaria no se realizaría en los refugios y bancos de alimentos, muchas personas expresaron su consternación por los rumores e informaciones contradictorias.

Hasta el momento se reportan 38 muertes vinculadas —o que se sospecha que están vinculadas— con el meteoro; en Texas hay más de 32.000 personas en refugios, de acuerdo con el gobernador texano Greg Abbott. Funcionarios de la Agencia Federal de Manejo de Emergencias (FEMA, por su sigla en inglés) señalaron que hay 230 refugios operando en ese estado. Aquí puedes leer un análisis de por qué Harvey ha sido tan devastador.

La Asamblea Nacional Constituyente de Venezuela (ANC) aprobó enjuiciar bajo el cargo de “traición a la patria” al presidente del parlamento Julio Borges; el primer vicepresidente, Freddy Guevara, y los diputados Luis Florido y Juan Requesens. Todos pertenecen a agrupaciones políticas opositoras y fueron acusados de promover las recientes sanciones económicas y hacer llamados para la “intervención” de Estados Unidos.

La medida fue remitida al Ministerio Público y se produjo en el marco de la aprobación de un “decreto contra el bloqueo financiero y en defensa del pueblo venezolano” que, entre otras cosas, establece repudiar la orden ejecutiva del gobierno estadounidense y respaldar todas las decisiones tomadas por el presidente Nicolás Maduro.

Diosdado Cabello, constituyentista y líder del partido gobernante, leyó el decreto en el que se expresa que “con las cenizas de los enemigos” la ANC construirá la “patria de los humildes”. Además aseveró: “Los que llaman a la traición de la patria nos nos queda otra alternativa que calificarlos como enemigos”.

El presidente Enrique Peña Nieto le pidió a uno de los empresarios más destacados de México, Claudio X. González Laporte, que su hijo dejara de ser tan crítico con el gobierno, en especial, porque los reportajes de una de las organizaciones de la sociedad civil que Claudio X. González Guajardo cofundó han revelado actos de corrupción de personajes cercanos al presidente mexicano.

A pesar de que el gobierno de Peña Nieto negó haber intentado coartar “en modo alguno” la labor de cualquier organización de la sociedad civil, tanto Claudio X. González Guajardo como las organizaciones en las que está involucrado recibieron auditorías tributarias y el mismo González Guajardo recibió dos mensajes que contenían el programa de espionaje Pegasus —que solo puede ser adquirido por gobiernos para monitorear a criminales y terroristas—. Hace unos meses, The New York Times reveló cómo se usó el programa de espionaje para intervenir los teléfonos de activistas, periodistas y abogados.

El caso de González Guajardo quizá sea el más claro ejemplo en que el presidente ha criticado abiertamente a alguien y en que ha intentado silenciar a un objetivo de espionaje, lo que acerca potencialmente a Peña Nieto al escándalo del ataque informático más que ningún otro caso. Aquí puedes leer más al respecto.

Más de 1,7 millones de musulmanes viajan a La Meca desde distintas partes del mundo para el peregrinaje anual del hajj.

Más de 1,7 millones de musulmanes están viajando a La Meca desde distintas partes del mundo para el peregrinaje anual del hach, y el gobierno saudita no quiere que se les olvide que es la familia Al Saud la que custodia la ciudad santa.

Enormes retratos del rey y del fundador de la monarquía penden de las paredes en los vestíbulos de los hoteles y una torre con reloj, adornada con el nombre del predecesor del rey Salmán, proyecta luces verdes sobre los feligreses. Una vasta sección de la Gran Mezquita lleva el nombre de un rey anterior, y una de las entradas lleva el nombre de otro rey.

Esos son algunas de las maneras en que Arabia Saudita usa su custodia de los sitios sagrados del islamismo para apuntalar su estatus dentro del mundo musulmán y antagonizar con rivales como Irán, Siria o Catar. Desde hace mucho tiempo, mezclar el hach con la política ha sido una costumbre de ese país.

Por casi cien años, la familia Al Saud es la que ha decidido quién entra y quién sale de La Meca, fijando cuotas de peregrinos para diversos países, otorgando visas mediante los consulados y embajadas sauditas y suministrando alojamiento para los cientos de miles de personas que acuden al viaje religioso.

A Wisconsin judge laid out the final ground rules this week on what evidence will be allowed when Kyle Rittenhouse goes on trial next week  for shooting three people during a protest against police brutality, ruling he’ll permit testimony from the defense’s use-of-force expert and on how police welcomed Rittenhouse and others carrying guns during the demonstration.

The hearing was likely the last before Rittenhouse goes on trial Nov. 1 for the shootings during chaotic demonstrations in Kenosha on Aug. 25, 2020, two days after a white police officer in that city shot a Black man, Jacob Blake, in the back while responding to a domestic disturbance.

Rittenhouse, 18, of Antioch, Illinois, was among a number of people who responded to calls on social media to take up arms and come to Kenosha to respond to the protests. Rittenhouse, who is white, is charged with homicide and other crimes in the fatal shootings of Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and the wounding of Gaige Grosskreutz, all also white.

Rittenhouse’s attorneys want  use-of-force expert John Black to testify that Rittenhouse acted in self-defense. Prosecutors have asked Judge Bruce Schroeder to block Black’s testimony, arguing that jurors don’t need an expert to understand what happened that night.

Schroeder told the attorneys that Black wouldn’t be allowed to testify about what Rittenhouse was thinking when he pulled the trigger or whether he definitively acted in self-defense.

Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger said if Schroeder allowed Black to testify only about the timeline of events that night he wouldn’t call his own expert to the stand. Defense attorney Mark Richards agreed to the deal.

Schroeder denied Binger’s request to bar the defense from referring to Rosenbaum, Huber and Grosskreutz as “rioters”, “looters” or “arsonists.” The judge said those terms would be allowed if the defense can produce evidence showing that’s what they were.

Binger asked Schroeder to bar a video that shows police telling Rittenhouse and other armed militia members on the streets that they appreciated their presence and tossing Rittenhouse a bottle of water. The prosecutor said the video would transform the trial into a referendum on police procedure that night when it isn’t relevant.

“This is a case about what the defendant did that night,” Binger said. “I’m concerned this will be turned into a trial about what law enforcement did or didn’t do that night.”

Defense attorney Corey Chirafisi argued the video shows that police felt Rittenhouse wasn’t acting recklessly. Binger countered that the shootings happened after Rittenhouse interacted with the police, but Schroeder decided to allow the video.

“If the jury is being told, if the defendant is walking down the sidewalk and doing what he claims he was hired to do and police say good thing you’re here, is that something influencing the defendant and emboldening him in his behavior? That would be an argument for relevance,” the judge said.

Many conservatives have flocked to support Rittenhouse, calling him a patriot and making him a symbol for gun rights and raising $2 million for his bail. Others, including some liberals and activists, portray him as a domestic terrorist and say he made a volatile situation worse.

The View’s” Joy Behar lost it Wednesday while discussing the infighting between progressive and moderate Democrats in Congress, declaring Sens. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., were going to be the “ruination of the nation” and were “the enemies” of democracy. 

Behar and her fellow co-hosts blamed Sinema and Manchin for standing in the way of Democrats trying to enact President Joe Biden’s agenda, and claimed they were undermining the work done by Democrats to flip Georgia blue and create “a strong Democratic coalition.”

Behar appeared increasingly angry as she lamented the policies the Biden administration had been unable to implement, including infrastructure funding and efforts to combat climate change, which she blamed on the inability of Sinema and Manchin to reach agreements with their fellow Democrats.

“The Democrats have the numbers to make it happen, but Manchin and Sinema are standing in their way. They call themselves Democrats, and they will be the ruination of this nation. Those two,” Behar said. 

‘THE VIEW’ ADDRESSES COVID TESTING FIASCO THAT UPENDED KAMALA HARRIS INTERVIEW: ‘MISTAKES WERE MADE’

She claimed that Manchin would never vote for any policies that would positively impact climate change because of his ties to coal producers, and suggested that Sinema wouldn’t support tax increases on corporations because of her attendance at a fundraiser with “business lobbying groups” that oppose Biden’s proposed $3.5-trillion spending bill.

“These people are destroying the country in my opinion. We are so in trouble in this country, I don’t know if people understand how dire the situation is,” Behar said. “If Joe Biden loses, if the Democrats lose, the Republicans, who are so corrupt right now and we all know that, they will move in, Trump will run in 2024 – he might win because of all the cheating that’s going on. We cannot let this happen!”

“Manchin and Sinema must be brought to task! They are the enemies right now of the democracy,” she added. “Yes, we have a great democracy, but it is really on life support right now because of these two people!”

Co-host Sunny Hostin joined Behar in her criticism, accusing Sinema, without evidence, of not listening to her Arizona constituents and questioning what her “end goal” might be. 

‘THE VIEW’ CO-HOSTS CLASH WITH CAITLYN JENNER OVER FORCED VACCINATIONS: ‘’YOUR FREEDOM TO STAY AT HOME EXISTS’

The first segment ended with each of the co-hosts agreeing it was time to have Sinema and Manchin back on “The View” in order to question them on their opposition to some of the widely Democratic-supported policies.

After returning from a commercial break, co-host Ana Navarro implored people to use any means of communication necessary, including social media and calls to Manchin and Sinema’s offices, to advocate for the passage of the Democratic supported bills through Congress.

“Don’t you think it’s so unfortunate that we’ve worked so hard … to flip Georgia blue,” Hostin said. “We’ve got two Democratic senators now, and you have people that are supposed to be a part of a strong Democratic coalition, like Manchin, like Sinema, being so obstreperous that President Biden, who is supposed to be fighting for the soul of this country, can’t get the job done.”

“The fact that it’s Democrats who are holding it up is making me sick,” Behar said.

Joe Biden picked up three major endorsements in Dallas, Texas on Monday as former 2020 primary candidates Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar and Beto O’Rourke publicly backed his campaign for the Democratic nomination.

Building on the former vice president’s momentum following his big victory in South Carolina on Saturday, the three ex-contenders heaped praise on Biden as he campaigned in the Super Tuesday state offering the second most delegates.

Speaking to the press and supporters in Texas yesterday, Buttigieg said Biden would “bring back dignity to the White House” and described the former vice president as “unfailingly decent.”

“I’m looking for a leader, I’m looking for a president, who will draw out what’s best in each of us,” Buttigieg said. “And I’m encouraging everybody who was part of my campaign to join me, because we have found that leader in Vice President, soon to be President, Joe Biden.”

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) similarly praised Biden, saying a vote for him would be a vote for “decency” and “dignity.”

Appearing at the end of Biden’s Dallas rally last night, Texas Democrat O’Rourke, who dropped out of the primary in November last year, said: “I will be casting my ballot for Joe Biden, and let me tell you why.

“We need somebody who can beat Donald Trump. The man in the White House today poses an existential threat to this country, to our democracy, to free and fair elections, and we need somebody who can beat him. And in Joe Biden, we have that man.”

But his comments stood in stark contrast with a past assessment he made of the former vice president’s chances of winning the White House earlier in the primary campaign.

Asked if Joe Biden was a return to the past on MSNBC in June last year, O’Rourke said: “He is, and that cannot be who we are going forward. We’ve got to be bigger, we’ve got to be bolder, we have to set a much higher mark and be relentless in pursuing that.”

Pressed on whether Biden needed to apologize for his support of the Iraq invasion, the former primary candidate replied: “Look you’ve got to ask yourself where Joe Biden is on the issues that are most important to you.

“Did he support the war in Iraq that forever destabilized the Middle East? Does he really believe that women of lower incomes should be able to make their own decisions about their own body? Be able to afford healthcare to be able to do that?”

“On China, he says China is no threat, nothing to worry about, and now seems to be changing his message on that,” O’Rourke later added. “I’m not exactly sure what he believes or what he should apologize for. I only know that this country should be able to do far better.”

Appearing before Iowa voters in January, Buttigieg also appeared to take aim at Biden. The Hill reported the former primary candidate saying: “I hear Vice President Biden saying that this is no time to take a risk on someone new.

“But history has shown us that the biggest risk we could take with a very important election coming up is to look to the same Washington playbook and recycle the same arguments and expect that to work against a president like Donald Trump who is new in kind.”

After former Vice President Biden took a dig at Buttigieg in February, saying he was “no Barack Obama,” the ex-South Bend mayor also told CNN: “Well he’s right, I’m not. Neither is he. Neither is any of us running for president, and this isn’t 2008. It’s 2020 and we are in a new moment calling for a different kind of leadership.

“We are facing the most disruptive president in modern times, and I don’t think the same playbook that helped us get here is going to work against him.”

Minnesota Sen. Klobuchar appears to have largely refrained from hitting out at Biden during the 2020 campaign and has long called the former vice president a “friend” of hers.

In an interview with CBS affiliate WCCO about a possible Biden candidacy in the 2016 race, Klobuchar said: “Vice President Biden is a friend of mine, he’s come out here several times to Minnesota and I think he’s going to make his own decision based on his own circumstances and his family.

“But again I think you’re going to see Hillary Clinton continue to be strong in this race.”

Newsweek has contacted the Biden campaign for comment on the past remarks of Buttigieg and O’Rourke. This article will be updated with any response.

Attempts have also been made to contact representatives of Buttigieg and O’Rourke for comment.

In their catalog, cotton gin

São Paulo – Busa, a Brazilian manufacturer of cotton processing and road transport equipment, is considering setting up a sales and services structure in Sudan, an Arab country in North Africa they have already exported to. The information comes from Busa’s Foreign Trade manager, Evandro Oliveira. According to him there is also the perspective of a selling a cotton processing plant project to Sudan, which will have Algerian investment.

Busa works with technology solutions for cotton processing, supplying from crop equipment to processing units and fiber packaging machinery for commercialization. The company sells plant equipment and also the installation services. Busa also manufactures chassis implements, such as semitrailer, tows and platforms, mainly for agricultural use.

Tows are among the products manufactured

 The company has started to export to Sudan after winning an international tender for supplying cotton gin in 2008. According to Oliveira, the company later has also sent logistic and harvest equipment to the Arab country via Brazilian cotton producers. Due to this fact, he has already received delegations from Sudan, Khartoum and Sennar, at the company’s factory, in the city of Guará, in the state of São Paulo.

“We are very interested in developing projects with partners in the Arab world and we look into all the government’s initiative to strengthen these trade links with great interest. Using the paths created by the governments, private companies can boost their partnership and implement negotiations, taking advantage of the credit and investment lines”, Oliveira told ANBA.

Busa has two production units in Guará, one targeted at the cotton area and the other at the road transport area. The company is building another industrial unit in Atibaia, in São Paulo’s countryside, to be closer to the road transport consumer centers. Abroad, the company maintains a representative in the United States and a distributor in France. The latter deals in Burkina Faso, in Africa, and other African countries which do not grow cotton.

Press release

Busa has a plant in the city of Guará

 The company was created in 1956 by the Rodrigues family. Currently the administration is held by the second generation, namely Luiz Carlos Rodrigues, son of one of the founders Álvaro Rodrigues and Rosa Vieira Rodrigues. Luiz Carlos took over the company in 1970 and focused the activities on cotton processing, making Busa a leader in this area in the Brazilian market.

Since the 70’s Busa is a player in the international market. The first exports were transport and agriculture equipment to Latin America countries. Since 2006, they started exporting cotton processing plant complement projects. The first, says Oliveira, was installed in Burkina Faso. Since then, the company has sold projects to the United States, Bolivia, Venezuela, Argentina and Sudan.
