2 powerful cyclones bear down on north Australian coast

Two powerful cyclones are bearing down on Australia's sparsely populated north where around 2,000 people have been evacuated from the east coast of the Northern Territory ahead of strong winds, mountainous waves and flooding rain that are forecast.

Cyclones are frequent in Australia's tropical north and rarely claim lives. But two such large storms as Cyclones Trevor and Veronica crossing land on the same weekend is rare.

Bureau of Meteorology manager Todd Smith said on Friday that Trevor is expected to cross the east shore of the Northern Territory on Saturday morning as a Category 4 storm. It currently has sustained winds of 130 kilometers per hour (80 mph).

Veronica is also expected to be a Category 4 when it crosses the coast of Western Australia state over Sunday night.

Bernie Sanders Warns Dems to Avoid Anti-Trump Focus or ‘We Lose’ 2020

Sen. Bernie Sanders warned Monday that if Democrats focus on an attack strategy against President Donald Trump ahead of the 2020 election, “we lose.”

In a wide-ranging town hall sponsored by Fox News and held in Bethlehem, Pa. — a state that helped Trump win in 2016 — an energetic and confident Sanders hit some of the hot-button issues likely to be part of his second run at the White House, including political  strategy, taxing the rich and a single-payer healthcare system.

“I don't think the American people are proud that we have a president who is a pathological liar,” he said. “It does not give me pleasure to say that. I disagreed with George W. Bush on almost everything. Bush was not a pathological liar. … It's hard to believe anything that he says.”

But, he added, “if we spend all of our time attacking… Democrats are going to lose. Our job is to lay out a vision that makes sense to the working families of this country, and that's what I'm trying to do.”

Sanders also was grilled on his taxes, which were released Tuesday — and he was unapologetic for being a millionaire, emphasizing he voted against a 2017 tax bill from which he admittedly benefited.

You raised the issue I'm a millionaire,” he said, adding: “It came from a book that I wrote, pretty good book, you might want to read it… and we made money.  If anyone thinks that I should apologize for writing a best-selling book, I'm sorry, I'm not going to do it.

“But let me reiterate, I voted against [the tax cut bill].”

He also took a sharp slap at Trump’s refusal to release his taxes.

“The president watches your network a bit, right?” he asked hosts Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, which triggered laughs from the audience and smiles of the hosts.

Then looking at the camera, Sanders said: “Hey President Trump, my wife and I just released 10 years of our taxes. Please do the same.”

There were brief boos from an otherwise supportive audience when the subject of terminating a pregnancy at birth was was raised.

“I think that that happens very, very rarely,” he said, adding “it’s being made into a political issue but at the end of the day, I believe that the decision over abortion belongs to a woman and her physician, not the federal government, not the state government.”

Sanders also promoted a single-payer healthcare system.

“We are not talking about government-run healthcare,” he said. “The Veterans Administration and most veterans think that that's a pretty good healthcare system… What we are talking about is simply a single-payer insurance program, which means that you will have a card which says Medicare on it, you will go to any doctor that you want, you will go to any hospital that you want."

Sanders also addressed outspoken criticism by Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., of Israel. "I think that she has got to do a better job in speaking to the Jewish community, but if your question to me is do I think she's anti-Semitic, no, I don't.

"Here is the point, also, I'm Jewish. I lost my father's family, devastated by Hitler, so this is an issue of some sensitivity to me. I will do everything in my power, and I hope every member of Congress will fight not only anti-Semitism, but racism and anti-Muslim activity so we create a nondiscriminatory society. But it is not anti-Semitic to be critical of a right wing government in Israel. It is not anti-Semitic."

Netherlands tram shooting results in 'multiple' injuries, police say

A shooting inside a Netherlands tram on Monday resulted in "multiple" injuries, police said, and it wasn't immediately clear if authorities had a suspect in custody.

The shooting occurred around 10:45 a.m. local time in the Dutch city of Utrecht, located about 22 miles southeast of Amsterdam, local police said.

"Multiple people have been injured. The surrounding area has been cordoned off and we are investigating the matter," police in Utrecht said.

Photos and descriptions from the scene indicated police had closed off a square near the Utrecht tram station.

Trauma helicopters had been sent to the scene, the Associated Press reported.

By Jonathan Stempel

(Reuters) – Motel 6 agreed to pay $12 million to settle a lawsuit in which Washington state’s attorney general said the chain routinely provided guest lists to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Attorney General Bob Ferguson, who announced the settlement on Thursday, said the money will go to roughly 80,000 people who stayed at seven of the chain’s Washington locations from 2015 and 2017.

He said their privacy rights were violated because Motel 6 gave their personal information to ICE without their knowledge, and at least nine Washington residents were detained.

As part of the settlement, Motel 6 also agreed it will not hand over guest information nationwide absent a warrant or other legal order, and will improve employee training, Ferguson said.

Motel 6 said in a statement it was pleased to settle, and that “the safety and security of our guests, which includes protecting guest information, is our top priority.”

The settlement came five months after Motel 6 agreed to a $7.6 million settlement of similar claims in a proposed class-action lawsuit in Arizona. That accord has yet to receive court approval, court records show.

U.S. President Donald Trump has made immigration a central focus of his presidency.

Motel 6 is controlled by the private equity firm Blackstone Group LP, which bought the brand in 2012.

Police officers with guns drawn raid Arizona home for boy with 105-degree fever, report says

A dramatic video shows Arizona police officers with guns drawn while raiding an Arizona home earlier this week to retrieve a 2-year-old boy who had a 105-degree fever.

The raid occurred in Chandler, about 25 miles southeast of Phoenix, on Sunday after a doctor reported the boy’s parents to Arizona Department of Child Safety (DCS). The boy, who is not vaccinated, was taken to the doctor for a 105-degree fever, the Arizona Republic reported.

The doctor reportedly advised the parents to take the boy to the emergency room, but the parents decided not to after the boy’s fever broke. The doctor contacted DCS, who then called the police to check on the child. When the father refused to let officers into his home, the police came back with a warrant and forced their way in, according to the Republic.

PROBE OF CASES FROM HOUSTON OFFICERS IN DEADLY RAID EXPANDED

State Rep. Kelly Townsend, who earlier this year spearheaded a bill that required DCS to obtain a search warrant to remove a child in non-emergency situations, criticized the raid as excessive.

"At that point who now owns control over the child?" Townsend said. "And it seems like we've given that now to the doctor and the parent no longer has the say or they risk the SWAT team taking all of your children and potentially the newborn."

Chandler Police said the officers who raided the home were regular officers and not a SWAT team.

Prosecutors examine video altercation between teen, deputies

Prosecutors are examining the actions of a Florida sheriff's deputy who slammed a pepper-sprayed teen's head into the ground.

Broward County State Attorney Mike Satz announced Monday that his staff will meet Tuesday with the 15-year-old student who had an altercation with two deputies.

The deputies had responded to a fight Thursday outside a suburban Fort Lauderdale McDonald's where 200 students gathered. Sheriff's office reports say the 15-year-old picked up a phone belonging to a student being detained.

Video shows Sgt. Greg LaCerra sprayed the teen after he stood up and appeared to say something to him. LaCerra then threw the teen to the ground, where Deputy Christopher Krickovich jumped on him, slammed his head twice and punched him.

Krickovich was placed on restricted duty. His union says his actions were in self-defense. The teen wasn't seriously hurt.

For Love of Country

One week into his cross-country trip to visit 50 state capitols in 50 days, Mickey Straub felt deflated.

The inspirational author and management consultant thought to himself, “This trip is silly, as he munched on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich out of the trunk of his 1997 Lincoln Town Car.

Straub was in Annapolis, Maryland, 800-plus miles from home in Illinois. It was September 2012 and Barack Obama was running for a second term as president of the United States.

The trip had weighed on Straub’s heart for 10 years, but Obama’s second run pushed him to put things into motion.

His goal was to promote conservative ideals by invoking America’s unifying principles, something he felt was missing in the country at the time.

His method was to recite Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address at every state capitol in the country — and to do it in 50 days or less.

But that day in Annapolis was a struggle.

Straub was feeling lonely. He missed his wife and teenaged daughter. He was taking quite a bit of time off of work. He questioned why he would set such a lofty goal in such a short deadline.

“It was a wild-haired, bold, and brilliant idea,” said buddy John D. Morris, the founding director of the Ronald W. Reagan Society of Eureka College, who suggested Straub read the Gettysburg Address at each stop.

“At the time, I thought it was crazy, but there’s something so positively fun about it,” he added.

“What Mickey did, in invoking the great, honorably the greatest speech in American history, is so profound because it highlights the founding principles of this country during a very divisive time and goes back to our ideals.”

And at each capitol, something kept him going, starting in Annapolis. By that point, Morris noted, Straub had been away from home for three weeks, and “was being pushed to the limit both physically and emotionally, and I admired his grit.”

Naval Academy plebe David Gordeuk was walking by in his all-white midshipman uniform.

Straub took Gordeuk for dinner at a steakhouse and bought him coffee to thank him for his patriotism.

Gordeuk in return gave him invaluable advice: Focus on one thing at a time.

“That’s what I did the rest of the trip. I call him my Capitol Angel.”

His wife, Charmaine, a nurse, kept things at home running smoothly, with a daughter who was knee-deep in college applications and high school tennis.

Straub hired a personal trainer to help prepare him for the haul — 14,900 miles and close to 275 hours on the road — and purchased the 1997 Lincoln Town Car to symbolize America’s 16th president.

He started his trip in Pennsylvania, near Gettysburg, and finished at Lincoln’s tomb near the Illinois capitol in Springfield. Straub flew to Alaska and Hawaii, stayed in 33 hotel rooms, and spent about two hours in each capitol. He estimates the trip cost him more than $20,000.

Straub still gets emotional recalling the venture, and says he’s still as passionate about it now as then.

His efforts became part of the Congressional Record in November 2017.

“I launched the trip on behalf of God and country, but it was actually God and country that pulled me through,” he said. “My personal mission now is to live, love, inspire, and serve.”

The trip only took 44 days. He mostly lived off Subway’s tuna sandwiches, peanut butter and jelly, Starbucks, and plenty of healthy snacks. He lost 15 pounds on the trip, but gained an even deeper sense of faith and patriotism.

Straub, 61, grew up in Pennsylvania, where Lincoln’s famous 272-word address, delivered during the Civil War on the battlefield near Gettysburg, was etched into his fabric. He was always drawn to the Lincoln Memorial and mesmerized by Lincoln’s statue and his noteworthy words.

“Lincoln was all about freedom and liberty. He tried to unite us in ways that no speech has ever since. The word ‘I’ or ‘me’ is not in the Gettysburg Address — he refers to us collectively to try to unite us,” said Straub.

“And since many Republicans and Democrats claim Lincoln, I knew he would be a unifying factor.”

Straub worked for the Department of Defense in Washington, D.C., out of college, investigating military and defense personnel applying for secret and top-secret clearances. It was in Los Angeles, where he moved in the 1980s while working with Ryan Insurance Co., that he went from a Kennedy Democrat to a Reagan Republican, later moving to Chicago.

“Reagan was a true gentleman. He wanted us to work together. He embodied the true American dream,” said Straub.

His final move to Chicago was where he and Charmaine met.

“He worked hard, long hours. He was very ambitious, and all of that still applies today,” she recalled.

Politics grew more important as time went on and Straub, now president of Sales Activity Management, a Burr Ridge, Illinois-based company that provides sales management and coaching services to clients, got more involved to promote Reagan’s values after Obama was elected in 2008.

He became mayor of Burr Ridge in 2014 and was re-elected in 2017 — and in early 2018 unsuccessfully made a run for the state House of Representatives.

He resigned as mayor last November, mostly because of the time constraints — Straub was working 20-30 hours for a low stipend of $6,000 — and to focus on a book about his trip around the country.

“Abraham Lincoln united us like no other president, and in his Gettysburg Address, he never spoke about himself. He saved the nation.

“The Gettysburg Address contained within it the formula for our country’s future: God, liberty, unity, and patriotism. May it unite us again!”

Multiple people died Thursday when a semitrailer plowed into stationary traffic that resulted in explosions and flames on a Colorado freeway, authorities said.

The incident occurred just before 5 p.m. in the Denver suburb of Lakewood when a truck driver lost control while traveling east on Interstate 70, according to a preliminary investigation. The collision started a chain reaction and a diesel fuel spill, Lakewood police spokesman Ty Countryman told the Denver Post.

“This is looking to be one of the worst accidents we’ve had here in Lakewood,” he said.

The driver of the runaway truck survived. At least one truck was carrying lumber, another was hauling gravel and the third may have been carrying mattresses, KDVR-TV reported.

Lakewood police tweeted there were multiple fatalities but did not give a specific number. Six people were taken to a hospital. Their conditions were not released, according to the paper.

Lanes in both directions were closed and expected to remain so into Friday morning.

President Trump will address members and leaders of the National Rifle Association on Friday at the group’s annual convention in Indiana.

Around 80,000 gun enthusiasts and more than 800 exhibitors are expected to pack the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis for the three-day event, the Indianapolis Star reported. It will mark the third straight year that Trump will deliver the keynote address, where he is expected to champion the rights of gun owners.

“Donald Trump is the most enthusiastic supporter of the Second Amendment to occupy the Oval Office in our lifetimes,” Chris Cox, executive director of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action (ILA), said in a statement. “President Trump’s Supreme Court appointments ensure that the Second Amendment will be respected for generations to come. Our members are excited to hear him speak and thank him for his support for our Right to Keep and Bear Arms.”

“Donald Trump is the most enthusiastic supporter of the Second Amendment to occupy the Oval Office in our lifetimes.”

COLORADO ENACTS ‘RED FLAG’ LAW TO SEIZE GUNS FROM THOSE DEEMED DANGEROUS, PROMPTING BACKLASH

Trump and Vice President Mike Pence spoke at last year’s convention in Dallas. During his speech, Trump assured gun owners that he would protect their Second Amendment rights, according to the paper.

“Your Second Amendment rights are under siege,” Trump told the cheering audience in Dallas. “But they will never, ever be under siege as long as I am your president.”

Trump has supported some gun control measures in the past. Last year, his administration imposed a ban on bump stocks, attachments that enable semiautomatic rifles to fire in rapid bursts. Although, he most recently threatened to veto two Democratic gun control bills.

This year’s convention comes as the NRA faces outside pressure and internal problems. The group has seen its legislative agenda stall amid a series of mass shootings — including a massacre at a Parkland, Fla., high school in February 2018 that left 17 dead and launched a youth movement against gun violence.

It’s also grappling with infighting in its ranks, money problems and investigations into whether Russian agents courted officials and funneled money through the group.

“I’ve never seen the NRA this vulnerable,” said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety, a nonprofit that advocates for gun control measure.

The convention will run through the weekend and conclude Sunday.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

(Reuters) – Ailing British retailer Debenhams said two proposed company voluntary arrangements (CVA) could see all its stores remaining open during 2019, with 22 closures planned for next year, putting about 1,200 jobs at risk.

Debenhams’ lenders took control of the retailer earlier this month in a process designed to keep its shops open at the expense of shareholders.

BENGALURU (Reuters) – Chinese brands controlled a record 66 percent of Indian smartphone market in the first quarter, led by Xiaomi Corp, a report showed, with volumes rising 20 percent on the back of popularity for brands like Vivo, RealMe and Oppo.

Xiaomi’s India shipments fell by 2 percent over last year, but the Beijing-based company was still the biggest smartphone brand in the country, followed by Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, according to Hong-Kong based Counterpoint Research.

Shipment volumes for Vivo jumped 119 percent, while those of Oppo rose 28 percent.

“Vivo’s expanding portfolio in the mid-tier range ($100 to $180) drove its growth along with aggressive Indian Premier League cricket campaign,” Counterpoint analysts said.

India is the world’s fastest growing market for smartphones, where affordable pricing coupled with features like “selfie” cameras and big screens have popularized Chinese brands.

Video streaming services like Netflix Inc and Hotstar, as well as heavy usage of messaging apps like Facebook Inc’s WhatsApp have further spurred demand.

“Data consumption is on the rise and users are upgrading their phones faster as compared to other regions,” Counterpoint’s Tarun Pathak said.

“As a result of this, the premium specs are now diffusing faster into the mid-tier price brands. We estimate this trend to continue leading to a competitive mid-tier segment in coming quarters.”

The Dalai Lama has returned to his headquarters in the north Indian hill town of Dharmsala after a brief stay in a hospital in the capital for treatment of a chest infection.

Hundreds of exiled Tibetans lined the streets of Dharmsala carrying ceremonial scarves and incense sticks to welcome the Dalai Lama on Friday.

The 83-year-old Tibetan spiritual leader told reporters that he had fully recovered, but that the illness had been “a little bit serious.” He did not give any details.

The Dalai Lama usually spends several months a year traveling the world to teach Buddhism and highlight Tibetans’ struggle for greater freedom in China. But he has cut down on his travels in the past year to take care of his health.
