Duterte warns of revolutionary government and arrests

The Philippine president has warned he would declare a revolutionary government and arrest his detractors and outlaws if he says he's pushed to the wall.

His latest outburst prompted critics to ask him to confront real issues instead of playing with a dictator's "playbook."

President Rodrigo Duterte made the threat late Thursday in a speech where he expressed his exasperation with criticism even while he's trying to fight irregularities. Duterte has been known for provocative remarks, which his spokesmen have often played down as hyperbole when they spark a backlash.

Duterte says: "I have enough problems with criminality, drugs, rebellion and all, but if you push me to the extreme, I will declare the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus and I will arrest all of you."

SHALI, Russia (Reuters) – A court in Chechnya on Monday sentenced Oyub Titiev, a prominent human rights activist, to four years in a penal settlement after finding him guilty of possessing illegal drugs, a charge his supporters say was trumped up.

Titiev, who runs the office of the Memorial Human Rights Centre in the southern Russian region, was detained in January last year by police who said they had found 206.9 grams (7.3 oz) of cannabis in his car after stopping him to check his documents. Titiev said the cannabis was planted.

He and his supporters allege he was framed in order to punish him for his human rights work and to stop Memorial working in Chechnya.

“They fabricated the criminal case for five months and they fabricated the sentence for eight months,” Titiev told reporters after the verdict.

Reporters, diplomats and Titiev’s neighbors and relatives packed the courtroom to hear the verdict. Titiev watched proceedings from inside a cage, leaning on the white bars as he listened to the judge read the verdict in the trial for over nine hours.

The majority-Muslim republic of Chechnya is governed by Kremlin-backed leader Ramzan Kadyrov whom human rights workers accuse of widespread abuses in the region, allegations he denies.

Kadyrov’s supporters credit him with bringing relative calm and stability to a region dogged for years by a simmering insurgency following two wars between Moscow and separatists after the 1991 Soviet break-up.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he was not returning to a policy of separating children from family members who had illegally crossed the border, one day after media reports that his administration was considering bringing it back.

Outgoing Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen oversaw the “zero tolerance” prosecution policy that led to the separations, which garnered legal challenges and a public outcry that eventually led to the policy’s reversal.

Reports: Rockies finalizing eight-year, $260 million contract with Arenado

February 26, 2019

The Colorado Rockies are finalizing an eight-year, $260 million contract with All-Star third baseman Nolan Arenado, according to multiple reports.

If consummated, the $32.5 million average annual salary would be the highest ever for a position player. The deal would kick in this season, overriding the one-year, $26 million contract the club and Arenado agreed to in January to avoid arbitration, which was the highest one-year salary for an arbitration-eligible player.

The new contract runs through 2026. However, the deal includes an opt-out after three years and a full no-trade clause, according to the reports. The opt-out ensures that Arenado, 27, could hit free-agency at the age of 30.

The eighth year and record-breaking average annual value got this deal done, ESPN reported.

Arenado is a four-time All-Star for the Rockies, who drafted him in the second round of the 2009 amateur draft out of high school.

Arenado has a career .291 batting average to go with 186 home runs and an .886 OPS over his six major league seasons. He’s coming off a .297 season in 2018 during which he slugged an NL-best 38 home runs and drove in 110 runs, good for second in the NL.

Arenado finished third in the MVP voting last season, fourth in 2017 and fifth in 2016.

He belted a career-high 42 home runs in 2015, drove in a career-high 133 runs in 2016 and hit a career-best .309 in 2017.

Over the past four seasons, all All-Star campaigns, he batted .297 with an average of 40 homers and 126 RBIs while playing 158 games per year.

He’s also a six-time gold glove award winner.

Amal Clooney tells UN it faces ‘Nuremberg Moment’ amid US criticism of International Criminal Court

Human rights attorney Amal Clooney implored the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday to bring ISIS fighters to justice and urged them to pass a resolution declaring sexual violence a "weapon of war."

"This is your Nuremberg moment — your chance to stand on the right side of history," she said, referring to the famous Nuremberg trials that tried Nazi officials for their roles in war crimes perpetrated during WWII.

She urged member states to go beyond a draft resolution — combatting sexual violence as a weapon of war— in order to bring ISIS terrorists to justice. "You owe it to ... the thousands of women and girls who must watch ISIS members shave off their beards and go back to their normal lives while they, the victims, never can," she said.

Clooney's speech focused primarily on strengthening the international justice system that would allow Yazidi victims to "look their accusers in the eye."

SRI LANKA ATTACK SHOWS ISIS IS NOT 'JUNIOR VARSITY': COUNTER-TERROR EXPERT

She deplored the fact that in the event that authorities caught ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, his case likely wouldn't make it to the International Criminal Court (ICC), a controversial body that tries individuals for crimes such as genocide.

"The United States government has recently said — through its national security adviser John Bolton and its Secretary of State Mike Pompeo — that the ICC is 'dead to us' and that those who support certain ICC investigations can be denied entry to the U.S., have their assets frozen, and may even face arrest," Clooney said.

Pompeo said in March the administration would deny U.S. visas for ICC employees who furthered prosecution against U.S. military and civilian personnel.

“We are determined to protect the American and allied military and civilian personnel from living in fear of unjust prosecution for actions taken to defend our great nation,” he said.

ISIS CALIPHATE HAS CRUMBLED AND LAST STRONGHOLD LIBERATED, FOX NEWS HAS LEARNED

The sexual violence resolution, which passed after Clooney's speech, faced opposition from the United States due to language it worried could be used to support abortion. When the resolution passed, it lacked the original phrasing that guaranteed "comprehensive health services."

"Recognizing the importance of providing timely assistance to survivors of sexual violence, urges United Nations entities and donors to provide non-discriminatory and comprehensive health services, in line with Resolution 2106," the original language read.

French UN ambassador Francois Delattre blasted the alteration.

"It is intolerable and incomprehensible that the Security Council is incapable of acknowledging that women and girls who suffered from sexual violence in conflict, and who obviously didn't choose to become pregnant, should have the right to terminate their pregnancy," he said.

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – Pope Francis, opening a landmark Vatican conference on clergy sexual abuse, said on Thursday the Roman Catholic Church would “listen to the cry of the little ones seeking justice”.

In a short opening statement, he said Catholics and victims were expecting not simple, predictable condemnations but “concrete and efficient measures”. The “evil” of sexual abuse of children by priests had to be transformed into understanding and purification, he said.

(Reuters) – Exxon Mobil Corp on Friday reported first-quarter profit fell sharply on lower oil and gas prices and weakness in its refining and chemicals businesses that offset modest production gains.

The largest U.S. oil producer’s first quarter earnings fell to $2.35 billion, or 55 cents a share, from $4.65 billion, or $1.09 a share, a year ago.

Analysts had expected Exxon to earn 70 cents per share, according to Refinitiv Eikon estimates.

Shares were trading down about 2.7 percent in premarket trading on Friday.

Exxon’s oil equivalent production rose 2 percent to 4 million barrels per day, up from 3.9 million bpd in the same period the year prior. The company said its output in the Permian Basin, the largest U.S. shale basin, rose 140 percent over a year ago.

A Baha’i advocacy group has expressed concerns over the fate of minority Baha’is at the hands of Yemen’s Houthi rebels ahead of the appeals hearing for one of the community leaders sentenced to death.

The Baha’i International Community said in a statement Friday that the hearing for Hamed bin Haydara, detained in 2013 and sentenced to death last year on espionage and apostasy charges, is due on Tuesday.

The statement quotes Bani Dugal, the Baha’i community representative at the United Nations, as saying the prosecution hasn’t addressed Haydara’s appeal but is instead making “absurd, wide-ranging accusations.”

International rights groups have decried the prosecution of Yemeni Baha’is by the Iran-backed Houthis.

Iran has banned the Baha’i religion, which was founded in 1844 by a Persian nobleman considered a prophet by followers.

KABUL (Reuters) – Afghan President Ashraf Ghani encouraged newly-elected lawmakers to participate in the peace process with the Taliban as he opened on Friday the first session of parliament since a controversial election.

Ghani has invited thousands of politicians, religious scholars and rights activists to an assembly known as a loya jirga next week to discuss ways to end the 17-year war.

Several opposition leaders have said they will boycott the four-day assembly in Kabul, saying it was pulled together without their input and is being used by Ghani as he seeks a second term in a September presidential election.

“We have presented the peace plan on a regular basis and we are committed to it,” Ghani said in the first session since parliamentary elections marred by technical problems, militant attacks and accusations of voting fraud last year.

“Based on this plan, there will be no peace deal and negotiation that does not have the green card of the parliament,” he added.

Officials from the United States and the Taliban have held several rounds of talks to end the Afghan war.

U.S. negotiator, Zalmay Khalilzad, has reported some progress toward an accord on a U.S. troop withdrawal and on how the Taliban would prevent extremists from using Afghanistan to launch attacks as al Qaeda did on Sept. 11, 2001.

The insurgents have so far rejected U.S. demands for a ceasefire and talks on the country’s political future that would include Afghan government officials.

The loya jirga, a centuries-old institution used to build consensus among competing tribes, factions and ethnic groups, is an attempt by Ghani to influence the peace talks and cement his position for a second term, Afghan politicians and Western diplomats say.

Amid growing political divisions in Kabul, opposition politicians have demanded that Ghani step down when his mandate ends next month, and give way to an interim government to oversee peace talks with the Taliban. Ghani has ruled that out.

The country’s top court said last week Ghani can stay in office until the presidential election in September.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein Thursday defended special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation while slamming former President Barack Obama’s administration for being slow to take action on Russian interference in U.S. elections and ex-FBI Director James Comey for telling Congress the agency was investigating collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

“Our nation is safer, elections are more secure, and citizens are better informed about covert foreign influence schemes,” Rosenstein said in a speech to the Armenian Bar Association, marking his first public remarks after the Mueller report was released, reports CBS News.

He also pointed out that the investigation revealed a pattern of computer hacking and the use of social media to undermine elections as “only the tip of the iceberg of a comprehensive Russian strategy to influence elections, promote social discord, and undermine America, just like they do in many other countries,” reports The Wall Street Journal.

The Obama administration also made “critical decisions,” including choosing not to publicize the full story about Russian hackers and social media trolling, “and how they relate to a broader strategy to undermine America,” said Rosenstein.

He noted that the Mueller probe began after Comey disclosed during a hearing before Congress that President Donald Trump “pressured him to close the investigation and the president denied that the conversation occurred.”

Rosenstein said two years ago, when he was confirmed, he was told by a Republican senator that he would be in charge of the probe and that he’d report the results to the American people.

However, he said he didn’t promise to do that, because it is “not our job to render conclusive factual findings. We just decide whether it is appropriate to file criminal charges.”

BEIJING (Reuters) – Britain must get to the bottom of the leak of confidential discussions during a top-level security meeting about the role of China’s Huawei Technologies in 5G network supply chains, British finance minister Philip Hammond said on Friday.

News that Britain’s National Security Council, attended by senior ministers and spy chiefs, had agreed on Tuesday to bar Huawei from all core parts of the country’s 5G network and restrict its access to non-core elements was leaked to a national newspaper.

The leak of secret discussions has sparked anger in parliament and amongst Britain’s intelligence community. Britain’s most senior civil servant Mark Sedwill has launched an inquiry and written to ministers who were at the meeting.

“My understanding from London (is) that an investigation has been announced into apparent leaks from the NSC meeting earlier this week,” said Hammond, speaking on the sidelines of a summit on China’s Belt and Road initiative in Beijing.

“To my knowledge there has never been a leak from a National Security Council meeting before and therefore I think it is very important that we get to the bottom of what happened here,” he told Reuters in a pooled interview.

British culture minister Jeremy Wright said on Thursday he could not rule out a criminal investigation. The majority of the ministers at the NSC meeting have said they were not involved, according to media reports.

Hammond said he was unaware of any previous leak from a meeting of the NSC.

“It’s not about the substance of what was apparently leaked. It’s not earth-shattering information. But it is important that we protect the principle that nothing that goes on in national security council meetings must ever be repeated outside the room.”

Allowing Huawei a reduced role in building its 5G network puts Britain at odds with the United States which has told allies not to use its technology at all because of fears it could be a vehicle for Chinese spying. Huawei has categorically denied this.

There have been concerns that the NSC’s conclusion, which sources confirmed to Reuters, could upset other allies in the world’s leading intelligence-sharing network – the Five Eyes alliance of the United States, Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

However, British ministers and intelligence officials have said any final decision on 5G would not put critical national infrastructure at risk. Ciaran Martin, head of the cyber center of Britain’s main eavesdropping agency, GCHQ, played down any threat of a rift in the Five Eyes alliance.
