Jurors say they're at impasse on some prison riot charges

Jurors in the trial of four inmates charged in a deadly Delaware prison riot have told the judge that they're at an impasse on some charges.

Delaware State News reports jurors passed a note Monday to Judge Jan Jurden. They are hearing charges against John Bramble, Abednego Baynes, Kevin Berry and Obadiah Miller.

The four are charged with riot, assault, kidnapping, conspiracy and murder in connection with the 2017 uprising at the James T. Vaughn Correctional Center near Smyrna. Corrections officer Lt. Steven Floyd died in the riot.

Jurden told jurors to continue deliberations but they can deliver the partial verdict later if necessary.

Defense attorney Tony Figliola said the jurors have deliberated for five days, and their note indicates they've decided 35 of the 40 counts.

IMF’s Lagarde says global growth outlook ‘precarious’ amid trade tensions

By David Lawder

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde said on Tuesday that global growth has lost momentum amid rising trade tensions and tighter financial conditions, but pauses in rate hikes will help boost activity in the second half of 2019.

Lagarde, in a preview of the April 12-14 IMF and World Bank Spring Meetings, said the global economy is “unsettled” after two years of steady growth, with the outlook “precarious” and vulnerable to trade, Brexit and financial market shocks.

“In January, the IMF projected global growth for 2019 and 2020 at around 3.5 percent, less than in the recent past but still reasonable,” Lagarde said in remarks prepared for delivery at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington. “It has since lost further momentum, as you will see from our updated forecast next week.”

She said that the IMF does not anticipate a recession in the near-term, and the Federal Reserve’s “more patient pace of monetary policy normalization” will provide some thrust to growth in the second half of 2019 and into 2020.

Lagarde cautioned, however, that years of high public debt and low interest rates since the financial crisis a decade ago have left limited room in many countries to act when the next downturn arrives so countries need to make smarter use of fiscal policy. This means striking a better balance between growth, debt sustainability and social objectives and acting to address growing inequality by building stronger social safety nets.

She previewed new IMF research showing that rising trade barriers were hurting investment in plant, machinery and job creating projects.

Lagarde also said that the IMF has revised its analysis of the U.S.-China trade war’s impacts, showing that if all trade between the world’s two largest economies were subjected to a 25 percent tariff, U.S. gross domestic product would fall by up to 0.6 percent while China’s GDP would fall by up to 1.5 percent.

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to subject all imports from China to a 25 percent tariff if the two sides cannot resolve their disputes in negotiations. Chinese Vice Premier Liu He is due in Washington for another round of talks starting on Wednesday.

“Nobody wins a trade war,” Lagarde added. “That is why we need to work together to reduce trade barriers and modernize the global trade system.”

Dingell: Dems Spending ‘Lot of Energy’ on Unlikely Impeachment

Some Democrats are spending a "lot of energy" on impeachment when it is "very unlikely" to happen when they should instead focus on reforming healthcare, Rep. Debbie Dingell said Thursday.

"I think an impeachment would divide this country if we were not done it a bipartisan basis," the Michigan Democrat told Fox News' "Outnumbered Overtime." "I think everybody loves to speculate about this, but the fact of the matter is that I am focused on working an agenda for the people and that Republicans and Democrats need to worry about delivering for the American people on prescription drugs and infrastructure."

She further refused to speculate on special counsel Robert Mueller's report, before it has been released.

"I will not engage in parsing words on a report I have not seen," Dingell said. "None of us have seen it. We don't know what's in it. We've had a lot of people make assumptions on both sides."

Dingell said she's also focused on trade, as "we need a level playing field for our workers."

Meanwhile, Dingell said she's co-chairing the Medicare for All caucus because she thinks all Americans have the right to affordable, quality healthcare "so that if they are sick they don't worry about going to the doctor."

Trump also needs to concentrate on healthcare reform before the 2020 election, not after, said Dingell.

"Isn't it about time that every person that lives in this country, if they are sick, doesn't have to worry about if they have cancer, whether it's worth having a mammogram because they can't get the treatment?" she said.

Congressional Hearing on Student Loan Crisis “Height of Hypocrisy, Denial”

In his most recent podcast, Peter Schiff talked about recent Congressional hearings that featured Rep. Maxine Waters scolding bankers for creating the student debt crisis, ignoring the fact that the student loan program was nationalized a decade ago.

Peter described it as the political theater of the absurd.

Waters grilled the bank CEOs, asking them what they were going to do about all of the students they had saddled with all of this debt. Peter called it the “height of hypocrisy and denial.”

“Why did all of these banks make all of these student loans? Because the government guaranteed the loans. That is the only reason the loans were made. Basically, the government went to these banks and said, ‘Hey, we want you to make these loans to these kids and just to make sure that you make them, we will guarantee the debt.’”

And to make this even more absurd, banks don’t make student loans anymore. The government does it directly.

“Now, how can the government blame the private sector for the student loan debt when it’s the government that is actually lending the money to the students. I mean, if there was ever a problem that was more obviously caused by government, it’s student loans. Because the government either made the loans or guaranteed the loans, yet now the government is somehow is trying to blame the public sector for the problem and asking what they’re going to do about it? Whats’ the government going to do about it?”

Peter went on and highlighted some of the other absurdities in the hearing, saying the bankers were basically just there to “kiss ass” after getting bailed out by the government in 2008.

Peter also talked a little about inflation in this episode.

The government released its latest inflation numbers late last week. The overall CPI number came in at up 0.4%, slightly above the projection of a 0.3% rise. Year-over-year, the CPI is up 1.9%.

Peter said people should really be focusing on the rising price of oil because that is ultimately going to push that CPI number significantly higher. The price of oil continues to rise despite the fact that the dollar has not fallen.

Peter also pointed out that inflation is one of the reasons we see a rising level of inequality.

“One of the reasons that you have this rising inequality is because of the Federal Reserves efforts to pursue inflation. Even Mario Draghi said, ‘I need more inflation, that is our goal. We want inflation.’ Well, that’s been the Fed’s goal. They’re trying to reach their inflation target. Well, that is one of the reasons you’re seeing this wealth gap because inflation hurts the most the poor and the middle class. They don’t have financial assets that benefit from inflation. They earn wages and the value of those wages are destroyed by inflation. The cost of living is going up and the value of their savings, if they have any savings, is going down.”

Simply put, inflation is undermining the living standards of average people.

February 21, 2019

PALO ALTO, Calif. (Reuters) – The U.S. economy is facing significant economic headwinds, San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President Mary Daly said on Wednesday, but its near-record-long expansion does not appear to be hitting a dead end.

“There’s nothing on the radar that says we’re slipping into recession,” Daly told the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research. But, she said, the “sour” mood that sent stock prices down late last year has begun to percolate through the data, and tighter financial conditions, slower growth overseas, and rising uncertainty over the outlook do threaten to slow U.S. growth.

UN chief warns of 'relentless' pushback on women's rights

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says there is a "deep, pervasive and relentless" pushback on women's rights and is calling for a fight to "push back against the pushback."

Calling himself "a proud feminist," the U.N. chief said Monday that "it is a fight we must win — together."

Guterres told the opening session of the Commission on the Status of Women's annual meeting that it could equally go by another name: "the Commission on the Status of Power, because this is the crux of the issue."

He cited increased violence against women, "online abuse of women who speak out" and "an ongoing uphill battle for reproductive rights."

Guterres said that "nationalist, populist and even austerity agendas are ... aggravating inequality, splintering communities, curtailing women's rights and cutting vital services."

2 dogs save foster kids wandering along Florida’s I-10; one girl said she was chasing a rainbow

Two foster children—both under the age of 6-- were seen Saturday wandering along Florida’s I-10 with two dogs who witnesses say walked between them and the busy interstate.

Some witnesses said the dogs, at times, pushed the children back when they got too close to the road.

Okaloosa County deputies told MyPanhandle.com that the children were playing in their home’s yard with other children and took off.

Their foster father was reportedly unable to pursue them due to an unknown ambulatory condition, the report said. But deputies said he made a diligent effort to locate them, and no charges are expected.

The dogs were described as Great Pyrenees and shepherd mixes, WJHG.com reported.

A good Samaritan took the kids into a car because they were wet and one was not wearing shoes. The man called authorities.

One of the witnesses said the two would not be alive if not for the dogs.

WELLINGTON (Reuters) – China’s Huawei Technologies said Britain’s decision to allow the firm a restricted role in building parts of its next-generation telecoms network was the kind of solution it was hoping for in New Zealand, where it has been blocked from 5G plans.

Britain will ban Huawei from all core parts of 5G network but give it some access to non-core parts, sources have told Reuters, as it seeks a middle way in a bitter U.S.-China dispute stemming from American allegations that Huawei’s equipment could be used by Beijing for espionage.

Washington has also urged its allies to ban Huawei from building 5G networks, even as the Chinese company, the world’s top producer of telecoms equipment, has repeatedly said the spying concerns are unfounded.

In New Zealand, a member of the Five Eyes intelligence sharing network that includes the United States, the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) in November turned down an initial request from local telecommunication firm Spark to include Huawei equipment in its 5G network, but later gave the operator options to mitigate national security concerns.

“The proposed solution in the UK to restrict Huawei from bidding for the core is exactly the type of solution we have been looking at in New Zealand,” Andrew Bowater, deputy CEO of Huawei’s New Zealand arm, said in an emailed statement.

Spark said it has noted the developments in Britain and would raise it with the GCSB.

The reports “suggest the UK is following other European jurisdictions in taking a considered and balanced approach to managing supplier-related security risks in 5G”, Andrew Pirie, Spark’s corporate relations lead, said in an email.

“Our discussions with the GCSB are ongoing and we expect that the UK developments will be a further item of discussion between us,” Pirie added.

New Zealand’s minister for intelligence services, Andrew Little, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

British culture minister Jeremy Wright said on Thursday that he would report to parliament the conclusions of a government review of the 5G supply chain once they had been taken.

He added that the disclosure of confidential discussions on the role of Huawei was “unacceptable” and that he could not rule out a criminal investigation into the leak.

The decisions by Britain and Germany to use Huawei gear in non-core parts of 5G network makes it harder to prove Huawei should be kept out of New Zealand telecommunication networks, said Syed Faraz Hasan, an expert in communication engineering and networks at New Zealand’s Massey University

He pointed out Huawei gear was already part of the non-core 4G networks that 5G infrastructure would be built on.

“Unless there is a convincing argument against the Huawei devices … it is difficult to keep them away,” Hasan said.

(Reuters) – Glencore shares plunged the most in nearly four months on Friday after news overnight that U.S. regulators were investigating whether the miner broke some rules through “corrupt practices”.

Shares of the FTSE 100 company fell as much as 4.2 percent in early deals, and were down 3.5 percent at 310.25 pence by 0728 GMT.

On Thursday, Glencore said the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission is investigating whether the company and its units have violated some provisions of the Commodity ExchangeAct and/or CFTC Regulations.

Well, Joe Biden didn’t exactly clear the field.

I don’t think it matters much that Biden waited until yesterday to become the 20th Democrat vying for the nomination, even though it exposed him to weeks of attacks while he seemed to be dithering on the sidelines.

A much greater warning sign, in my view, is the largely negative tone surrounding his debut. He is, after all, a former vice president, highly praised by Barack Obama, who has consistently led in the early primary polls, and beating President Trump in head-to-head matchups. Yet much of the press is acting like he’s an old codger and it’s just a matter of time before he keels over politically.

This is all the more remarkable in light of the fact that the vast majority of journalists and pundits know and like Joe Biden and his gregarious personality.

The reason is that Biden, after a half-century in politics, lacks excitement, and the press is magnetically attracted to novel and unorthodox types like Beto and Mayor Pete. You don’t see Biden on the cover of Vanity Fair, and a grind-it-out win by a conventional warrior doesn’t set journalistic hearts racing.

JOE BIDEN ANNOUNCES 2020 PRESIDENTIAL BID: 3 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE FORMER VICE PRESIDENT

For many in the media, Biden isn’t liberal enough, at least not for the post-Obama era. He doesn’t promise free college and free health care and has a history of working with Republicans, such as John McCain (whose daughter Meghan loves him, and Biden will hit “The View” today.)

What’s more, Biden’s campaign style — speak at rallies, rack up union endorsements — seems hopelessly old-fashioned when we measure popularity by Instagram followers. News outlets are predicting he’ll have trouble getting in the online fundraising game, leaving him reliant on big donors, which used to be standard practice.

And then there’s the age thing. Biden would be the oldest president to be inaugurated, at 78, and he looked a step slow in encounters with reporters yesterday and a few weeks ago.

But what if the journalists are in something of a Twitter bubble, and the actual Democratic Party is much more moderate? We saw that with the spate of allegations by women of unwanted touching, which dominated news coverage until polls showed that most Dem voters weren’t concerned. In that wider world, the Scranton guy’s connection to white, working-class voters could help him against Trump in the industrial Midwest.

Biden denounced the president’s term as an “aberrant moment” in his launch video, saying four more years would damage the country’s character and “I cannot stand by and watch that happen.”

But first, he’d have to win the nomination in the face of an unenthusiastic press corps.

A New York Times news story said Biden would be “marshaling his experience and global stature in a bid to lead a party increasingly defined by a younger generation that might be skeptical of his age and ideological moderation.”

The Washington Post quoted Democratic strategists as saying that Biden faces an “uphill battle” and “isn’t necessarily the heir apparent to Obama, despite being his No. 2 in the White House for eight years. They argue voters will judge Biden by the span of his decades-long career and are worried the veteran pol hasn’t yet found a winning formula for his own candidacy.”

The liberal Slate said the ex-veep’s rivals view him as a “paper tiger”:

“Biden is something more like a 2016 Jeb Bush: a weak establishment favorite whose time might be past … Biden’s biggest challenge in the primary will be a compromised past spanning nearly 50 years.”

“Compromised” suggests a history of scandal, yet what Slate means is political baggage, such as his backing of a Clinton-era crime bill unpopular with black voters today. Yet I think the rank and file isn’t as concerned about a vote back in 1994, or even the Anita Hill hearings, as the chattering classes.

BIDEN’S SENATE RECORD, ADVOCACY OF 1994 CRIME BILL WILL BE USED AGAINST HIM, EX-SANDERS STAFFER SAYS

One of the few left-leaning pundits to suggest the press is underestimating Biden is data guru Nate Silver at 538:

“Media coverage could nonetheless be a problem for Biden. Within the mainstream media, the story of Biden winning the nomination will be seen as boring and anticlimactic. That tends not to lead to favorable coverage. Meanwhile, some left-aligned media outlets may prefer candidates who are some combination of more leftist, more wonkish, more reflective of the party’s diversity, and more adept on social media.

“If Biden is framed as being out of touch with today’s Democratic Party and that narrative is repeated across a variety of outlets, it could begin to resonate with voters who don’t buy it initially. If he’s seen as a gaffe-prone candidate, then minor missteps on the campaign trail could be blown up into big fumbles.”

Look, it’s entirely possible that Biden could stumble, get lapped in fundraising and just be outclassed by younger and savvier rivals. He was hardly a great candidate in 1987 and in 2008.

But if the former vice president finds his footing and the field narrows, the press will be forced to change its tune, and we’ll see a spate of stories about how Joe Biden has “grown.”

South Africa's 400m Olympic gold medallist and world record holder Wayde van Niekerk looks on as he attends South African Championships in Germiston

April 26, 2019

GERMISTON, South Africa (Reuters) – Olympic 400 meters champion Wayde van Niekerk has backed South African compatriot Caster Semenya in her battle with the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), which now appears to have taken a new twist.

Semenya, a double 800 meters Olympic gold medalist, is waiting for the outcome of her appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to halt the introduction of new regulations by governing body IAAF that would require her to take medicine to limit her natural levels of testosterone.

The IAAF wants female athletes with differences of sexual development who run in events from 400 meters to a mile, to reduce their blood testosterone level to below five (5) nmol/L for a period of six months before they can compete, saying they have an unfair advantage.

“She’s fighting for something beyond just track and field, she’s fighting for woman in sports, in society and I respect her for that,” Van Niekerk told reporters.

“I will support her and with the hard work and talent that she’s been putting into the sport. With what she believes in and what she’s dreaming for, I’ve got a lot of respect for her.

“I really hope and pray that everything just goes from strength to strength for her.”

Semenya has sprung a surprise at the on-going South African Athletics Championships though, ditching the 800 meters and instead competing over 1,500 and 5,000-metres – the latter one would not require her to medically lower her testosterone level.

She stormed to victory in the 5,000-metres final in a modest time of 16:05.97, but looked to have lots left in the tank as she passed the finish line.

Semenya beat fellow Olympian and defending national 5,000m champion Dominique Scott in Thursday’s final but the latter admitted she is unsure whether the 800m specialist could be a serious Olympic contender over the longer distance.

“Honestly‚ I have no idea‚” Scott said. “Before today I probably would have said no. It’s hard to compare a 5,000 at altitude to a 5,000 at sea level.

“But I think she’s an amazing runner and I don’t think there’s any limit or ceiling on what she can do.”

Van Niekerk, the 400m world record holder, had to abort his comeback from a knee injury, that had sidelined him for 18 months, following a combination of cold weather and a wet track.

“We are trying to take the correct decisions now early in the year so as not to put myself in any harm,” he said.

“It was a bit chilly this entire week prepping and coming through here as well it was quite cold and it caused bit of tightness in my leg. We decided to not risk it.

“My recovery is going well and I would like to be back in competition this year, but will only do so if I can deliver a good performance.

“I am a competitor and respect my opponents, so I need to be at my best when I return.”

The suspected leader of the Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka died in the Shangri-La hotel, one of six hotels and churches targeted in the attacks that killed at least 250 people, authorities said.

Police said Mohamed Zahran, leader of the National Towheed Jamaat militant group, had been killed in one of the bombings. The group’s second in command was also arrested, police said.

Zahran amassed an online following for his hate-filled sermons. Some were delivered before a banner depicting the Twin Towers.

Sri Lankan authorities said Friday that Islamic cleric Mohammed Zahran died in the blast at the Shangri-La hotel during the Easter Sunday atatcks that killed at least 250 people.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Friday that the attackers responsible for the bombings were supported by the Islamic State group. Around 140 people in Sri Lanka had connections to ISIS, Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena said.

“We will completely control this and create a free and peaceful environment for people to live,” he said.

Investigators determined the attackers received military training from someone called “Army Mohideen.” They also received weapons training overseas and at some locations in Sri Lanka, according to authorities.

A copper factory operator arrested in connection with the bombings helped Mohideen make improvised explosive devices, police said. The bombings have led to increased security throughout the island nation as authorities warned of another attack.
