Belarusian FM lashes out at Russian ambassador

The Belarusian Foreign Ministry has lashed out at Russia's ambassador, accusing him of showing disrespect for the country — the latest sign of tensions between the two neighbors and allies.

The Russian Ambassador to Minsk, Mikhail Babich, pointed at billions of dollars in Russian subsidies to Belarus and noted that Belarus will continue receiving them only if it agrees to more closely integrate with Russia. Babich's statement echoed Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent warning to Minsk.

Belarusian Foreign Ministry spokesman Anatoly Glaz fired back Friday, chastising Babich for failing to respect Belarus and talking "like an aspiring bookkeeper."

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has recently criticized increases in the price of Russian energy as part of Moscow's efforts to persuade his country to abandon its independence.

Demonstrators reported arrested, wounded in Nicaragua

An opposition group says Nicaraguan police have arrested anti-government demonstrators and says three were wounded by gunfire just a day after official negotiators promised to release people detained in earlier protests.

The National White and Blue Union says riot police arrested 10 demonstrators at a shopping center and that at least three people were wounded by gunfire aimed at protesters Saturday. It says another protester was arrested in the city of Leon.

A day earlier, negotiators for President Daniel Ortega signed agreements ratifying commitments to release and drop charges against hundreds of people considered political prisoners by the opposition. They also promised freedom to demonstrate.

The opposition says more than 640 people are being held for political causes, jailed in protests that broke out in April against Ortega's government.

U.S. says China steps up campaign to influence Taiwan, including vote

April 18, 2019

TAIPEI (Reuters) – China was stepping up a campaign to exert influence over Taiwan, including its upcoming presidential election, a senior U.S. official said on Thursday, at a time of heightened tension between the self-ruled island and Beijing.

China has increased military and diplomatic pressure on Taiwan, whose president, Tsai Ing-wen, Beijing suspects of pushing for the island’s formal independence, a red line for China which has never renounced the use of force to bring Taiwan under its control.

The island is gearing up for a presidential election in January that could shake up the political landscape, with contenders including Terry Gou, chairman of Apple supplier Foxconn.

“They’ve obviously stepped up campaigns of disinformation and direct influence against Taiwan,” James Moriarty, chairman of the American Institute in Taiwan, told Reuters.

Moriarty, the most senior U.S. official in charge of Taiwan relations, said Beijing’s attempts to influence Taiwan were a concern for the United States.

“I do worry greatly about attempts to influence Taiwan’s democratic processes and I believe many Taiwanese share that concern,” he said.

Tsai, whose pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party suffered a major poll defeat in November, warned last year that Beijing was exerting pressure on the island to influence its politics.

The United States has no formal ties with Taiwan but is bound by law to help provide the island with the means to defend itself and is its main source of arms.

Beijing regards Taiwan as its sacred territory and regularly calls it the most sensitive and important issue in ties with the United States.

Chinese bombers and warships again conducted drills around Taiwan on Monday. The United States denounced the exercises as “coercion” and a threat to stability in the region.

Gory details emerge about missing woman's suspected demise

After months of mostly silence from authorities investigating the disappearance of a Colorado mother on Thanksgiving Day, grim details about her suspected demise emerged this week, including accusations that the woman's fiance beat her to death with a baseball bat while their baby was in the next room.

Testimony from investigators at a court hearing Tuesday also revealed that Patrick Frazee had repeatedly asked an Idaho woman with whom he was having an affair to kill Kelsey Berreth, the mother of Frazee's 1-year-old daughter.

When she refused, he did it himself, authorities said.

Berreth's body has yet to be found, but Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Gregg Slater said information he gleaned from Frazee's girlfriend, Krystal Jean Lee Kenney, indicates she watched as Frazee burned the woman's remains. Kenney is now cooperating with investigators after pleading guilty to evidence tampering.

Berreth, a 29-year-old flight instructor, was last seen on Nov. 22 near her home in a mountain town near Colorado Springs, south of Denver.

Investigators testified that Frazee began planning Berreth's death in September and enlisted Kenney. Court records released Wednesday show that Kenney's ex-husband told investigators his ex-wife and Frazee dated during college and had a sexual relationship in 2016 and possibly 2017. A detective said Kenney revealed they rekindled an affair in March 2018.

Kenney, a 32-year-old former nurse, told police that Frazee claimed Berreth was abusing the couple's daughter. Police said there is no evidence that the girl was abused by her mother or anyone else.

Frazee asked Kenney to kill Berreth three times, Slater testified Tuesday. He said Kenney reported that Frazee suggested poisoning Berreth's coffee in September. Kenney told police that Frazee later told her to hit Berreth in the head using a metal pipe and a baseball bat.

Kenney said he was angry each time she failed to act. She loved Frazee and wanted to make him happy but could not hurt Berreth, Slater said.

Kenney told at least two friends in October that Frazee had asked her to kill Berreth, according to the newly released court records. Both women were later interviewed by police investigating Berreth's disappearance but the records give no indication that they contacted law enforcement after Kenney's admission.

One woman, who works as a paralegal, told investigators she urged Kenney to contact police but "did not believe Krystal ever went," the records said.

Kenney received a call from Frazee on Nov. 22 demanding that she drive to Colorado, Slater said.

"You got a mess to clean up," Frazee said according to Kenney's account to police.

She said she arrived two days later and found a "horrific" scene with blood spattered on the walls and floors of Berreth's townhome, Slater said.

Kenney told police that Frazee had wrapped a sweater around Berreth's head so she could guess the smell of scented candles and then beat her with a bat and stashed her body on a ranch. According to court records, the couple's young daughter was present in the home but in another room at the time.

After she cleaned the house, Kenney said she went with Frazee to retrieve Berreth's body and watched as Frazee burned it on his property along with the wooden bat, Slater said.

She said Frazee later told her he planned to throw the remains in a dump or river.

Frazee was arrested last December, about a month after Berreth was last seen alive. Prosecutors announced additional charges this week, including tampering with a deceased body. He has not entered a plea to any of the allegations.

His attorneys focused most of their questions Tuesday on Kenney's account.

Police acknowledged that Kenney did not see Berreth's body or a baseball bat. They also said Kenney denied knowing Berreth or having a personal relationship with Frazee when investigators first contacted her in mid-December.

David Beller, a Denver attorney who focuses on criminal defense, said examining the motivations and credibility of a witness who is cooperating with prosecutors is an essential strategy for defense attorneys.

"The defense attorney is going to examine whether the witness is somehow minimizing her involvement or her motivations to make him look more culpable than he is," said Beller, who is not connected to Frazee's defense. "Juries are skeptical of a cooperating witness' testimony and a defense strategy is always to highlight that skepticism."

Frazee's attorneys also highlighted a lack of blood or other physical evidence detected in his truck and questioned the Berreth family's access to Kelsey's townhome following initial police searches. Blood in the bathroom identified as Berreth's was discovered Dec. 6, days after police turned the property over to her family.

According to court records, police found blood on a bottle of bleach and a mop during a mid-December search of Frazee's property. Tests are not complete yet.

The hearing did not reveal why prosecutors believe Frazee killed Berreth. Her parents argue in a wrongful death lawsuit that they believe Frazee wanted full custody of the couple's daughter. The child has remained with them while the criminal case proceeds.

Indian election officials trek 34 miles through remote forest for 1 voter

Indian election officials trekked deep into the jungle-- through an animal sanctuary filled with lions-- to set up a polling station for one voter, according to a report.

The voter, Mahant Bharatdas Darshandas, is a priest who has lived in Gujarat’s Gir Forest for more than 20 years, Reuters reported.

INDIAN VOTER CHOPS OFF FINGER AFTER ACCIDENTALLY VOTING FOR WRONG PARTY

Darshandas has voted in every election in at least the last 15 years, according to NDTV. Election officials reportedly make the 34-mile journey through the forest every election so he can cast his ballot. “There is just one booth here and the government spends a lot on this one booth,” Darshandas told reporters after casting his vote in the third phase of the historic election.

Voting in India is in seven phases and lasts more than a month, ending on May 19. Voters will elect 543 members of parliament. India has approximately one million polling stations for 900 million eligible voters.

Trump asked why George Washington didn’t name Mount Vernon after himself, report claims

President Trump wondered why George Washington did not name his estate Mount Vernon after himself, a new report claims.

Trump reportedly made the comment during a visit to the historic compound in April 2018, according to Politico. The president visited Mount Vernon in Virginia with first lady Melania Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron.

“If he was smart, he [Washington] would’ve put his name on it,” Trump quipped, according to sources. “You’ve got to put your name on stuff or no one remembers you.”

TRUMP'S REVOLVING DOOR MAY NOT PRODUCE RESULTS, ESPECIALLY ON IMMIGRATION

The tour guide, Doug Bradburn, who’s the CEO and president of Mount Vernon, allegedly told the president that Washington was able to get the nation’s capital named after him. Trump laughed at the fact, the media outlet reported. Before becoming President, Trump the real estate mogul would regularly brand his buildings with his name.

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.

The report claims Trump was allegedly disinterested in the history of the first president during the 45-minute tour and described it to associates as “truly bizarre.” Bradburn reportedly said the Macrons were more knowledgeable about the estate than the commander-in-chief. A source told the media outlet Bradburn “was desperately trying to get [Trump] interested in" Mount Vernon.

A source alleged that Trump asked if Washington was "really rich." The first president was believed to be one of the wealthiest people in the country at his time.

“That is what Trump was really the most excited about,” the source said.

Trump did find something in the house he liked – the bed Washington passed away in 1799.

"A good bed to die in,” Trump reportedly said.

California school district changing name tied to Confederacy

The Dixie School District board voted Tuesday night to change the name of the 150-year-old district after critics linked it to the Confederacy and slavery.

Trustees voted 3-1, with one abstention, to change both the name of the San Francisco Bay Area district and the name of its elementary school by Aug. 22, when classes resume.

However, the board didn't choose a new name. A committee made up of parents, other community members and district staff will be set up to solicit and evaluate suggestions from the public.

The board rejected some 15 names in February when it voted against a name-change on grounds that more community input was needed.

The cost of the name change, such as replacing signs, was estimated at nearly $40,000, but the Marin Community Foundation pledged to cover it.

Dixie is a nickname for the southern U.S. states that formed the pro-slavery Confederacy in 1860, sparking the Civil War. The legacy of the Confederacy prompts political, legal and cultural conflicts to this day.

Those who support changing the name say the district was named Dixie by James Miller, the school founder, on a dare by Confederate sympathizers. Those who oppose the change say the school system was named for Mary Dixie, a Miwok Indian woman that Miller knew in the 1840s.

The name-change issue has generated heated debate in San Rafael, an overwhelmingly white city of 59,000 people, with some insisting the Dixie name is racially insensitive while others complain the proposed change is political correctness run amok.

Both sides spoke out during Tuesday night's meeting.

"You know Dixie is a racist name, so change it," said Bali Simon, a fifth-grader at Dixie Elementary School. "I'm hoping I can go back to school next fall proud of our new district name."

An opponent of the name change, Mette Nygard, said the "ugly insinuations" tarnished Miller's reputation.

"The community is so far removed from the confederacy that it's a ridiculous assertion," Nygard said.

However, she was interrupted by demonstrators chanting "Dixie must go!" Critics of the current name also brought signs into the room that said "say no to racism."

Some of the proposed names that were previously rejected by the board included "Marie Dixie Elementary School District" and "Skywalker Elementary School District."

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.”

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.
