BELFAST (Reuters) – The New IRA militant Irish nationalist group has apologized for the killing of journalist Lyra McKee – its first acknowledgement that one of its members was involved, the Irish News newspaper reported on Tuesday.

The organization, which opposes Northern Ireland’s 1998 peace deal, described McKee’s death as tragic and offered “full and sincere apologies” to her partner, family and friends in a statement that the Irish News said it received on Monday night.

The 29-year-old reporter was shot dead in Londonderry on Thursday as she watched Irish nationalist youths attack police following a raid. Police said McKee was hit when a gunman opened fire in the direction of officers.

The group said it had sent volunteers to the area after the raid. “We have instructed our volunteers to take the utmost care in future when engaging with the enemy, and put in place measures to help ensure this,” read the New IRA statement.

The group is one of a number of small organizations who remain active and oppose the 1998 deal, which largely ended three decades of violence in the region. It is far smaller than the Irish Republican Army (IRA), which disarmed after the peace deal.

McKee’s death, which followed a large car bomb in Londonderry in January that police also blamed on the New IRA, raised fears that small marginalized militant groups are trying to exploit political tensions caused by Britain’s decision to leave the European Union.

Iraqi leader says there’s ‘consensus’ on US troops presence

Iraq's president says he does not see any "serious" opposition when it comes to the presence of American forces in Iraq as long as they are there specifically to assist in the fight against the Islamic State group.

In an exclusive interview with the Associated Press on Friday, Barham Salih says there is "general consensus" that Iraq needs continued collaboration with the U.S. forces "as long as it is necessary."

Some 5,200 troops are stationed in Iraq as part of a security agreement with the Iraqi government. Salih's comments are in stark contrast with that of deputies in the Iraqi Parliament who say they are preparing draft laws calling for a full withdrawal of U.S. troops.

Salih said there is no scheduled debate on the matter in Parliament.

ATHENS (Reuters) – Greece’s potential next prime minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, says he plans to unblock privatizations, cut taxes and enact meaningful reforms to attract investment, increase state efficiency and make the pension system viable.

With opinion polls putting him more than 10 points ahead of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, the conservative leader is confident an EU election next month will prove to be a springboard to winning a national vote expected by the autumn.

“We’ll be implementing them (reforms) not because they are part of a program but because we truly believe that they are necessary to make the Greek economy more competitive,” Mitsotakis told Reuters from the headquarters of New Democracy, Greece’s main opposition party.

By implementing reforms, he says Greece can persuade its lenders, who still monitor the economy even after it officially exited its 280 billion euro financial crisis bailouts, to lower their targets and convince investors that it is out of the woods.

The 51-year-old scion of a powerful family of politicians considers Greece’s post-bailout primary surplus targets “too high”, but says that they must be respected “at least in the short term”.

Greece tapped international bond markets with a 10-year bond earlier this year, its first such issue in a decade. But at 18 percent the unemployment rate remains the highest in the euro zone and so is its debt, standing at 180 percent of output.

The economy is not the only issue for a future Greek leader to grapple with.

Mitsotakis maintains deep reservations at the deal brokered by the leftist government recognizing the neighboring state with the name North Macedonia. Skopje should not expect an automatic entry pass into the European Union now the name dispute is resolved, Mitsotakis said.

With many Greeks still struggling with the effects of creditor-mandated austerity though, the upcoming elections will undoubtedly become a referendum on how firebrand leftist Tsipras, elected in 2015, handled the crisis.

Mitsotakis camp is already on a war footing ahead of the EU parliamentary vote on May 26. People come and go from his office, adorned with paintings, pictures of his family and his late father – a former prime minister – books, a model ship named “Leadership” and a stuffed toy lion.

People who know him say an unflappable demeanor denotes an attention to detail, a workaholic who came in as an outsider to win the party leadership in 2016.

Greece emerged from the third bailout nine months ago.

But Mitsotakis says it has not turned a corner – it is just comparatively better than 2015, when he says bungled negotiation tactics by Tsipras’s government almost got it thrown out of the euro zone. Tsipras says he had no other option but to accept it.

“VICIOUS CIRCLE”

The economic monitoring framework includes meeting an annual primary budget surplus – excluding debt servicing costs – of 3.5 percent of GDP until 2022.

“Once we deliver the reforms, I think that would be the right time to discuss the primary surpluses,” he said.

Apart from pushing hard on “emblematic investments”, such as a real estate project at the former Athens airport and a Chinese investment at Greece’s largest port in Piraeus, his gameplan includes cutting corporate tax to 20 percent from 28 percent and tax on dividends to 5 from 10 percent within two years.

The middle-class is overtaxed, he said: “They’ve taken more money out of people’s pockets than it was necessary so I plan to return some of it back to people and to the corporations.”

Greece sees growth at 2.5 percent this year. But Mitsotakis said the country needed at least 4 percent economic growth “to convince everyone that it has broken out of the vicious circle”.

“At the end of the day what is going to make our debt sustainable is if Greece is going to move to a different growth trajectory,” he said.

Mitsotakis’s party stridently opposed the deal recognizing the ex-Yugoslav Republic as North Macedonia, a view shared by many believing the name claimed by the northern state is an appropriation of Greek culture and heritage.

“Although we don’t like the agreement we’ll respect it,” the leader said. “But we’ll work to improve aspects or consequences of the agreement that are currently not in our interest.”

For years, the wrangle has stopped the small state from joining NATO and the EU.

North Macedonia is expected to join the alliance in 2020. But joining the EU, which includes each member state approving a candidate’s compliance in various policy areas, is a longer process.

“I don’t think anyone should expect Greece to agree to open and close chapters when there are still outstanding issues which have not been addressed by the agreement,” Mitsotakis said.

“Of course we fully retain the right to block this process if we think that our national interests are not met.”

Reports: Widow of Serbia strongman Milosevic dies in Russia

Serbia's state television says that Mirjana Markovic, the widow of former strongman Slobodan Milosevic, has died in Russia. She was 76.

The RTS report says Markovic died Sunday in a hospital. Milosevic's SPS party sent condolences to the family.

There were no details about the cause of death.

Markovic, who was the leader of a neo-Communist party during Milosevic's rule in Serbia in the 1990s, was considered to be a power behind the scene with major influence on her husband.

She fled Serbia in 2003 after Milosevic was ousted from power in a popular revolt and handed over to the U.N. court in The Hague, Netherlands, where he faced a genocide trial for his role in the Balkan wars of the 1990s. He died in jail there in 2006.

Florida authorities seeking driver who allegedly stopped for person crossing, then hit them with car

Authorities in Florida are on the hunt for a driver who they allege purposefully hit someone with a car after initially letting them pass by.

The Feb. 23 interaction between the driver and pedestrian in Oakland Park, Fla., was caught on tape and shared by the Broward Sheriff’s Office in a news release Wednesday. The incident happened around 8 p.m. in a Publix supermarket parking lot, authorities said.

The video showed a vehicle as it “stops to allowing a pedestrian to walk in front of his car,” the sheriff’s office said.

FLORIDA AUTHORITIES ARREST DAD ACCUSED OF KILLING WIFE, YOUNG DAUGHTER WITH MACHETE

“As the victim finishes crossing the vehicle, the driver accelerates and turns in the direction of the victim,” according to the news release.

Following this, the video showed the individual on the ground. The vehicle then fled the scene, the sheriff’s office said. The encounter left the individual with a broken leg, according to authorities.

“This driver’s actions are bizarre, cruel and reckless. They are also aggravated battery,” the sheriff’s office said.

The driver was also captured on video as he went into the store shortly before the encounter in the parking lot, according to authorities.

The driver is “a heavyset male with a fair complexion” who has short brown hair, a close-cut brown beard and at the time was wearing a red hat and t-shirt, khaki shorts and black sneakers, the sheriff’s office said.

DNC member on Omar: Resolution 'impacts us all'

Democratic strategist Robert Zimmerman defended the resolution condemning all forms of hate passed by Congress Thursday, saying it “impacts us all” and dismissing criticism that Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is getting off the hook for her comments critical of Israel and its supporters.

“I think it was critical to stand together, make it clear that the assault on the Jewish community, repeating of hateful Jewish tropes, repeating of anti-Semitic rhetoric is very much in common with the hate against the Muslim community, very much in common with attacks on the Hindu and Sikh community and the Catholic community,” Zimmerman said on “The Story with Martha MacCallum.”

Omar has been the focus of controversy for her alleged anti-semitic remarks.

DEM FROSH TURN TABLES ON ANTI-SEMITISM REBUKE, SHIFT SPOTLIGHT TO ISLAMOPHOBIA AND AIPAC POWER

Initially, Democrats were weighing a rebuke of rebuke of Omar, even though the measure did not mention her name.  They later softened their stance and included other forms of hate in the language of the measure, choosing not to focus on Omar’s comments.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif, defended Omar Friday, saying she did not believe the congresswoman was anti-semitic.

“I don’t think our colleague is anti-Semitic, I think she has a different experience in the use of words, doesn’t understand that some of them are fraught with meaning that she didn’t realize,” Pelosi said Friday at the Economic Club.

MacCallum pressed Zimmerman to move past highlighting the resolution and address Omar’s remarks.

“The issue here is that it looks like she and her group are winning, Bob,” MacCallum said.

“This is not a partisan game,” the Democratic National Committee member responded, highlighting the resolution for fighting against all forms of hate.

I'M A MUSLIM WHO'S ANGRY AT DEMS' FAILURE TO CONDEMN ANTI-SEMITE OMAR – THEY BETRAYED LOYAL JEWISH SUPPORTERS

“It’s about being fair and holding all parties accountable. Where was Donald Trump when he engaged in his anti-Semitic rhetoric?” Zimmerman said before radio talk show host Tammy Bruce opined that Omar’s comments would hurt the Democratic Party.

Senior White House adviser Jared Kushner said Tuesday that a detailed plan for a merit-based immigration system will be presented to President Trump, giving priority to skilled immigrants rather than those with family ties to the U.S.

“I do believe that the president’s position on immigration has been maybe defined by his opponents by what he’s against as opposed to what he’s for,” Kushner said at the Time 100 Summit in New York City. “What I’ve done is I’ve tried to put together a very detailed proposal for him.”

KUSHNER: RUSSIA INVESTIGATION HAD ‘HARSHER IMPACT’ ON US THAN ELECTION MEDDLING

Kushner announced that the new immigration proposal, which Trump will receive this week or next, will resemble the point-based systems in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and will unify people by ensuring strong wages and secure borders while protecting humanitarian values.

“We want to protect our country’s humanitarian values. We want to make sure we’re reunifying families, and we want to do this in a way that allows our country to be competitive long term,” he said. “And my hope is we can really do something that unifies people around what we’re for on immigration.”

JARED KUSHNER RESPONDS AFTER HASAN MINHAJ CALLS OUT HIS TIES TO SAUDI PRINCE

Kushner denied in the same talk that he has clashed with White House staffer Stephen Miller, who’s seen as tougher on immigration than others, adding that the plan was concocted with the help of Miller and Kevin Hassett, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers.

“And I say that If that if I can get Stephen Miller and Kevin Hassett to agree on an immigration plan, then Middle East peace will be easy by comparison,” Kushner joked, referring to the Israel-Palestine peace plan he’s working on.

“And I say that If that if I can get Stephen Miller and Kevin Hassett to agree on an immigration plan, then Middle East peace will be easy by comparison.”

After the plan gets presented to Trump, it will likely undergo some changes and then he will decide when to proceed with it, Kushner said.

“It’s very, very complicated, but it’s a very interesting issue, and if we can solve it, I do think it’s a critical component for America’s long-term competitive advantage,” he added.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Thursday said his government must make men aware of the dangers of poor hygiene after expressing dismay over the 1,000 penis amputations that apparently occur in his country each year.

“In Brazil, we have 1,000 penis amputations a year due to a lack of water and soap,” he said while speaking to reporters in Brasilia after visiting the Education Ministry. “We have to find a way to get out of the bottom of this hole.”

The far-right leader called the figure “ridiculous and sad,” Reuters reported. A spokeswoman for the Brazilian urology society told the news agency the number is based on its official data for penis amputations.

The amputations were conducted out of necessity over untreated infections, along with complications from HIV and various cancers, she said.

A top Russian diplomat says Russia is willing to negotiate a new nuclear weapons treaty with the United States and China.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told reporters on Friday Moscow is closely following reports in the United States that the U.S. would like to reach a nuclear weapons deal with both Russia and China, and is “willing” to negotiate. The story was reported by CNN earlier Friday.

Ryabkov also said that Russia “would like to convince” the U.S. to adopt a joint statement that would condemn any use of nuclear weapons.

Ryabkov’s comments come just months after the U.S. withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, a cornerstone of the post-Cold War security, and Russia followed suit. Each claims breaches by the other.

Government dysfunction and an intelligence failure that preceded the Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka are traced to simmering divisions between the president and prime minister after a weekslong political crisis that crippled the country last year.

The government has admitted to a “lapse of intelligence” after officials failed to act upon near-specific information received from foreign agencies. Suicide bombers exploded themselves last Sunday in three churches and three luxury hotels, killing 253 people and wounding 400 more. Authorities said eight Muslim militants blew themselves up at their targets while the wife of one of the attackers blasted herself on being rounded up by police.

The carnage has brought forth arguments that worshippers and holidaymakers fell victim to the rivalry and a lack of communication between the country’s two leaders — President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe.

The Cabinet led by Wickremesinghe says neither he nor his ministers were informed of the intelligence received by the defense authorities. Sirisena is the head of state, defense minister, minister in charge of the police and head of the armed forces. He also chairs the National Security Council, which includes the heads of security agencies and departments. Traditionally the prime minister also plays an important role on the council.

According to Health Minister Rajitha Senaratne, Sirisena has not included Wickremesinghe in national security affairs since a dispute between them came into the open in October last year. This is an unusual departure from the protocol, he said.

Senaratne said that Sirisena was overseas when the attacks took place and even after that, the National Security Council refused to meet with Wickremesinghe as he tried to give them instructions.

Sirisena has also said that he was not informed of the intelligence received and vowed to overhaul the leadership of the defense forces.

The top bureaucrat at the Defense Ministry, Hemasiri Fernando, has resigned at Sirisena’s insistence.

“It is a major factor,” said Jehan Perera, the head of local activist group National Peace Council, referring to the alleged lack of coordination between the leaders contributing to the failure to prevent the attacks.

“The primary responsibility has to be taken by the president, he did not give the information and he did not act,” Perera said. “He had the Ministry of Defense, took the police from the prime minister, chaired the National Security Council meetings and did nothing,” Perera said.

Kusal Perera, a journalist and political commentator, says security and intelligence officials should have acted on the information whether or not they received orders from politicians.

“If they (Wickremesinghe and his party) were not invited to the National Security Council, why did not they say in Parliament that they were not responsible for the security of the country any longer,” said Perera, who is not related to Jehan Perera.

“Saying that now is taking political advantage, not taking responsibility,” he said.

Sirisena and Wickremesinghe belong to different political parties but came together for Sirisena’s presidential campaign in 2015. Their relationships broke down and their differences exploded last year when Sirisena suddenly sacked Wickremesinghe as prime minister and appointed in his place former strongman Mahinda Rajapaksa, whom he defeated in the presidential election. The crisis crippled the country for more than seven weeks to the point of not being able to pass this year’s national budget on time.

A court decision compelled Sirisena to reappoint Wickremesinghe, but the two leaders have been rivals within the same government.

Rajapaksa, who is the minority leader in Parliament, blames the government for weakening intelligence and dropping its guard, which he had maintained to defeat the separatist Tamil Tiger rebels 10 years ago to end the 26-year-old civil war. He also criticized the government for the detention of intelligence officers accused of extrajudicial killings and abductions during the closing days of the war, which he said crippled the security apparatus before the bombings. According to conservative U.N estimates, some 100,000 people were killed in Sri Lanka’s conflict.

Sirisena summoned an all-party conference Thursday to which Wickremesinghe was also invited. At the conference, Sirisena stressed “setting aside all the political beliefs and difference (so that) everybody should collectively commit towards building a peaceful environment within the country,” a statement from his office said.

“It is not a secret that the disagreements between me and the government aggravated over the past two years,” Sirisena told the country’s media executives Friday. “One of the reasons for that is weakening of military intelligence and arresting military officials unnecessarily and my speaking up against it within and outside the government.”

Jehan Perera said that the security threat could prove politically advantageous to Rajapaksa and his family, with a presidential election scheduled at the end of this year. Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, a younger brother of Mahinda, was the powerful defense secretary during his brother’s reign and has expressed his interest to join the contest.

“People are saying we want a stronger leader and they are talking about Gotabhaya. It (the blasts) has worked to their benefit,” Perera said.

Cyprus police are intensifying a search for the remains of more victims at locations where an army officer, who authorities say admitted to killing five women and two girls, allegedly had dumped their bodies.

Police said Friday’s search will concentrate on a military firing range, a reservoir and a man-made lake near an abandoned mine approximately 32 kilometers (20 miles) west of the capital Nicosia.

On Thursday, the 35-year-old suspect told investigators that he had killed four more people than he had previously admitted to. All the suspect’s alleged victims are foreign nationals.

Police have already found the bodies of a 38-year-old Filipino woman and two as yet unidentified women.

Search crews are now looking for the daughter of the 38-year-old, a Romanian mother and daughter and another Filipino woman.
