Ethiopians hold mass funeral ceremony for crash victims

Thousands of Ethiopians have turned out to a mass funeral ceremony in the capital one week after the plane crash that killed 157 people.

Some victims' relatives fainted and fell to the ground during the procession through Addis Ababa on Sunday. Seventeen empty caskets were laid to rest in a remembrance of the victims from Ethiopia.

The victims came from 35 countries. Officials have begun delivering bags of earth to family members instead of the remains of their loved ones because the identification process is going to take such a long time.

Many families have held religious ceremonies and the grieving also have gathered at the rural, dusty crash site outside Ethiopia's capital.

Father of Sandy Hook school shooting victim found dead in apparent suicide, police say

The father of a student killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was found dead Monday in an apparent suicide, police said.

The body of Jeremy Richman, who was the father of Avielle Richman, was found inside Edmond Town Hall in Newtown, Conn. About 7 a.m. Monday, police said. Avielle was one of the 20 first-grade students shot and killed on Dec. 14, 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Six staff members were also killed that day.

Newtown police said Richman appeared to have killed himself, but did not disclose further details about the death. They added the death did not appear suspicious.

An autopsy is scheduled Monday.

“This is a heartbreaking event for the Richman family and the Newtown Community as a whole, the police department’s prayers are with the Richman family right now, and we ask that the family be given privacy in this most difficult time,” Newtown Lt. Aaron Bahamonde said in a statement.

SANDY HOOK FAMILIES FILE SUIT AGAINST INFOWARS' ALEX JONES

Richman was the founder of Avielle Foundation, which had an office at Edmond Town Hall. The foundation focused on “brain science research, community engagement and education” to reduce and prevent violence.

“He was a broken-hearted person, as we all are,” Neil Helslin, whose son Jesse Lewis, 6, also died in the Sandy Hook massacre, told The Hartford Courant on Monday. “It’s sad. Just no words.”

“I’m not suicidal, but I can definitely see how some people would be that way with the traumatic loss,” Heslin added. “I know Jeremy struggled.”

SECOND STUDENT WHO SURVIVED FLORIDA SCHOOL SHOOTING DIES IN APPARENT SUICIDE, POLICE SAY

Richman’s death comes a day after a second Parkland school shooting survivor died in an apparent suicide. Police received a call about a deceased person at a home Saturday night and arrived at the scene to find the body of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student, a Coral Springs Police spokesman told Fox News on Sunday.

Sources told the Miami Herald, which first reported the story, that the juvenile was a male student who was a sophomore.

Sydney Aiello — a close friend of Meadow Pollack, one of the 17 people killed in the Feb. 14, 2018 school shooting — killed herself on March 17. Her mother told CBS Miami on Thursday that the recent high school graduate was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and struggled with "survivor’s guilt" after the massacre.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Japan’s Economy Minister Toshimitsu Motegi said on Tuesday that no agreement had been reached on individual trade issues with the United States after two days of talks with U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer.

Motegi told journalists in Washington he hoped to reach a “good result” on the talks “at an early stage.”

He said he may accompany Prime Minister Shinzo Abe when he visits the United States next week.

The two-day trade talks came after U.S. President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe agreed last September to start trade talks in an arrangement that protects Japanese automakers from further tariffs while talks are underway.

Criminal case filed over Bangladesh hijacking attempt

More details about the attempted weekend hijacking of plane headed from Bangladesh's capital to Dubai emerged Tuesday after civil aviation authorities filed a criminal case over the attack.

Utpal Barua, head of the Patenga police station in Chittagong, said the case was filed late Monday. The plane, operated by Biman Bangladesh Airlines, was headed to Dubai via Chittagong on Sunday. Officials said the attempted hijacking by a Bangladeshi man occurred shortly after takeoff from Dhaka.

The 24-year-old man, identified by officials as Mohammed Polash Ahmed, was killed by military commandos after the plane made an emergency landing in Chittagong.

There are no other suspects, but the criminal case filing officially names Ahmed as the attacker.

According to the complaint, Ahmed attempted to enter the cockpit 15 minutes after the plane's takeoff. At one point, Ahmed, who was carrying "bombs-like and arms-like" objects, started shouting, demanding to talk to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

The complainant, Debabrata Sarker, a technical assistant at Hazrat Shah Amanat International Airport in Chittagong, also said Ahmed exploded "two cracker-like objects" inside the plane, creating panic among the passengers and crew.

Police will now see whether any other elements were involved in the hijacking attempt, Mohammed Amanullah, a duty officer at the Patenga police station, said by phone.

There was still confusion over whether Ahmed was armed amid disputing accounts of the incident by officials and passengers.

Officials said Sunday that Ahmed was injured in an exchange of gunfire with special forces, and that he had shot at them first and was armed with a pistol. Some passengers also said they heard gunshot sounds inside the plane.

But civil aviation authorities cast doubt on that account Monday. When asked about reports that Ahmed had a toy gun, Civil Aviation Ministry secretary Mohibul Haque said they didn't know whether the pistol was a toy.

The incident also highlights security flaws in Bangladesh.

Ishfaq Ilahi Chowdhury, a retired air commodore for Bangladesh's air force, wrote Tuesday in an article in the Bengali-language Prohtom Alo daily that "it is noticeable there have been serious security lapses."

"The question is, whether the pistol was fake or real, how did a passenger carry it onto the plane?" he wrote.

On Tuesday, Ahmed was buried in his village outside Dhaka. His father said Ahmed was married to an actress but was divorced a few months ago.

Mufti Mahmud Khan, director of the law and media wing of Bangladesh's Rapid Action Battalion security agency, said Monday that the suspect was listed in its database as Md. Polash Ahmed, and had been arrested in 2012 in a kidnapping case. Khan declined to provide details about the kidnapping case.

Civil Aviation Junior Minister Mahbub Ali told reporters Monday that Ahmed had booked a seat on the flight as a domestic passenger heading from Dhaka to Chittagong, and that airport surveillance video showed him going through security with other passengers.

"There was no signal that he had something" when he boarded Sunday's flight, Ali said.

Khan said when the agency's bomb-disposal unit reached the scene, they found that Ahmed had fake "bomb-like material."

Bangladesh, a majority-Muslim nation of 162 million people, has had periodic terrorist attacks in recent years, including an assault on an upscale cafe in Dhaka's diplomatic enclave in 2016 that resulted in the deaths of 22 people, including 17 foreigners.

Macron’s party rules out joining EU centrist group after Le Pen accusations

March 12, 2019

PARIS (Reuters) – French President Emmanuel Macron’s party will not join the pan-European ALDE group, his EU election campaign chief said on Tuesday, after it emerged the centrist alliance had received funding from the Bayer-Monsanto agriculture and chemicals conglomerate.

ALDE is the fourth-biggest party in the European Parliament and has courted Macron, whose Republic on the Move party has no lawmakers in the European Parliament as it was created after the last EU parliament election.

But far-right leader Marine Le Pen revealed last week that ALDE had received funds from U.S. seed maker Monsanto, now part of German chemicals group Bayer.

Monsanto is a frequent target of criticism in France from green activists and others over concerns about genetically modified crops and week killers such as glyphosates it has developed.

“None of our European lawmakers will sit in the next legislature within a political group or European political movement which tolerates such financing,” Stephane Sejourne, Macron’s EU election campaign chief, said in a statement.

In reaction to Sejourne’s statement, ALDE said it would end the sponsorship of congresses by private companies.

“The participation of the private sector were used to finance part of our congresses in order to give more people the possibility to participate,” ALDE Party President Hans van Baalen said in a statement.

“Unfortunately, this has been interpreted as practices that could have been perceived as active political influence.”

Bayer confirmed it had been a sponsor for ALDE congresses for several years.

“It is a widespread and widely accepted practice which isn’t specifically linked to Bayer or ALDE,” a spokeswoman said.

It listed Bayer as a donor for 12,000 euros in an audit for 2017 published on its website.

Under EU law, European political parties may accept donations from people or corporations of up to 18,000 euros per year and per donor.

As the election race heats up, Macron has been cool to the idea of joining the ALDE alliance, aiming instead to create his own centrist coalition on the European stage in which he would call the shots.

Le Pen, who is nipping at the heels of Macron’s party in voter intention surveys, told RTL radio last Thursday: “Lobbies fund European political parties and they fund ALDE, Emmanuel Macron’s party at the European parliament.”

Former Rep. Joseph Crowley, who lost to Ocasio-Cortez, joins top lobbying firm

The former New York congressman whose 2018 primary election loss sparked the rise of Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is now going on to work for a top lobbying firm.

Joseph Crowley's move to Squire Patton Boggs -- announced Tuesday -- comes after the 10-term incumbent was unseated by Ocasio-Cortez in the Democratic congressional primary last spring. The firm also employs former House Speaker John Boehner and former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott.

The firm, in a statement, described Crowley as a "blockbuster addition."

Before his defeat, Crowley was considered to be one of the possible successors to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, according to the Associated Press. In 2017, he became chair of the House Democratic Caucus.

OCASIO-CORTEZ RAISES EYEBROWS AFTER COMPARING TRUMP'S BORDER WALL TO BERLIN WALL 

The 29-year-old Ocasio-Cortez became the youngest woman ever elected to Congress and has emerged as a leader of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.

In a statement, Squire Patton Boggs said former Republican Bill Shuster will also be joining its global public policy practice.

As former lawmakers, both Crowley and Shuster must adhere to a one-year cooling off period, which means they can’t lobby their former colleagues or represent a foreign entity. However, this doesn’t include current members of the executive branch or state government officials.

Ex-Southern Poverty Law Center Writer: Workplace Was Toxic

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which fired its co-founder Morris Dees last week, was a toxic environment where employees long complained about sexual harassment and gender discrimination, writes The New Yorker's Bob Moser.

The non-profit organization known for specializing in civil rights and public interest litigation raked in $132 million in donations in 2017 – including $1 million from Apple – following protests at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

But Dees was not exactly a great role model, writes Moser. And the work environment certainly was not reflective of the SPLC's values.

"Nothing was more uncomfortable than the racial dynamic that quickly became apparent: a fair number of what was then about a hundred employees were African-American, but almost all of them were administrative and support staff— 'the help,' one of my black colleagues said pointedly," said Moser, who worked for the SPLC from 2001-2004.

"The 'professional staff' — the lawyers, researchers, educators, public-relations officers, and fundraisers — were almost exclusively white. Just two staffers, including me, were openly gay," he added.

Dees was fired for "inappropriate conduct," last Thursday, and President Richard Cohen announced his own departure after The New York Times report said 20 current and former employees signed their names to a letter to the organization's executives, writing that "allegations of mistreatment, sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and racism threaten the moral authority of this organization and our integrity along with it."

(Reuters) – U.S. stock index futures were flat on Friday, as investors paused ahead of GDP data, which is expected to show the world’s largest economy maintained a moderate pace of growth in the first quarter.

Gross domestic product probably increased at a 2% annualized rate in the quarter as a burst in exports, strong inventory stockpiling and government investment in public construction projects offset a slowdown in consumer and business spending, according to a Reuters survey of economists.

The Commerce Department report will be published at 8:30 a.m. ET.

The GDP data comes as investors look for fresh catalysts to push the markets higher. The S&P 500 index is about 0.5% below its record high hit in late September, after surging nearly 17% this year.

First-quarter earnings have been largely upbeat, with nearly 78% of the 178 companies that have reported so far surpassing earnings estimates, according to Refinitiv data.

Wall Street now expects S&P 500 earnings to be in line with the year-ago quarter, a sharp improvement from the 2.3% fall expected at the start of April.

Amazon.com Inc rose 0.9% in premarket trading after the e-commerce giant reported quarterly profit that doubled and beat estimates on soaring demand for its cloud and ad services.

Ford Motor Co shares surged 8.5% after the automaker posted better-than-expected first-quarter earnings largely due to strong pickup truck sales in its core U.S. market.

Mattel Inc jumped 8% after the toymaker beat analysts’ estimates for quarterly revenue, as a more diverse range of Barbie dolls powered sales in the United States.

At 6:52 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis were down 35 points, or 0.13%. S&P 500 e-minis were down 1.5 points, or 0.05% and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were up 10.75 points, or 0.14%.

Among decliners, Intel Corp slumped 7.7% after it cut its full-year revenue forecast and missed quarterly sales estimate for its key data center business.

Rival Advanced Micro Devices declined 0.8%.

Oil majors Exxon Mobil Corp and Chevron Corp are expected to report results later in the day.

WARSAW (Reuters) – Germany could owe Poland more than $850 billion in reparations for damages it incurred during World War Two and the brutal Nazi occupation, a senior ruling party lawmaker said.

Some six million Poles, including three million Polish Jews, were killed during the war and Warsaw was razed to the ground following a 1944 uprising in which about 200,000 civilians died.

Germany, one of Poland’s biggest trade partners and a fellow member of the European Union and NATO, says all financial claims linked to World War Two have been settled.

The right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) has revived calls for compensation since it took power in 2015 and has made the promotion of Poland’s wartime victimhood a central plank of its appeal to nationalism.

PiS has yet to make an official demand for reparations but its combative stance towards Germany has strained relations.

“Poland lost not only millions of its citizens but it was also destroyed in an unusually brutal way,” Arkadiusz Mularczyk, who heads the Polish parliamentary committee on reparations, told Reuters in an interview.

“Many (victims) are still alive and feel deeply wronged.”

His comments come a month before European Parliament elections in which populist and nationalist parties are expected to do well. Poland will also hold national elections later this year, with PiS still well ahead of its rivals in opinion polls.

EU LARGESSE

Mularczyk said the reparations figure could amount to more than 10 times the estimated 100 billion euros ($111 billion) that Poland has received so far in European Union funds since it joined the bloc in 2004.

Germany is the biggest net donor to the EU budget and some Germans regard its contributions as generous compensation to recipient countries like Poland which suffered under Nazi rule.

In 1953 Poland’s then-communist rulers relinquished all claims to war reparations under pressure from the Soviet Union, which wanted to free East Germany, also a Soviet satellite, from any liabilities. PiS says that agreement is invalid because Poland was unable to negotiate fair compensation.

Mularczyk said his committee hoped to complete its report on the reparations issue by Sept. 1, the 80th anniversary of Hitler’s invasion.

Accusing Berlin of playing “diplomatic games” over the issue, he said: “The matter is being swept under the rug (by Germany) … until it’ll be wiped from the memory, from people’s awareness.”

His comments come after the Greek parliament voted this month to seek billions of euros in German reparations for the Nazi occupation of their country.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said the United States did not pay any money to North Korea as it sought the release of comatose American student Otto Warmbier.

The Washington Post reported on Thursday that Trump had approved payment of a $2 million bill from North Korea to cover its care of the college student, who died shortly after he was returned to the United States after 17 months in a North Korean prison.

Al-Qaida in Yemen is vowing to avenge beheadings carried out by Saudi Arabia this week — an indication that some of the 37 Saudis executed on terrorism-related charges were members of the Sunni militant group.

Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, as the branch is called, posted a statement on militant-linked websites on Friday, accusing the kingdom of offering the blood of the “noble children of the nation just to appease America.”

The statement says al-Qaida will “never forget about their blood and we will avenge them.”

U.S. ally Saudi Arabia on Tuesday executed 37 suspects convicted on terrorism-related charges. Most were believed to be Shiites but at least one was believed to be a Sunni militant.

His body was pinned to a pole in public as a warning to others.

For two friends with checkered pasts it was the luck of a lifetime: a 4 million-pound ($5.2 million) lottery win.

But Mark Goodram and Jon-Ross Watson may see their celebrations cut short.

The Sun newspaper reports that Britain’s National Lottery is withholding the payout as it investigates whether the men, who have a string of criminal convictions, used illicit means to buy the winning ticket.

The Sun said neither man has a bank account, leading lottery organizers to investigate how they obtained the bank-issued debit card that paid for the 10 pound ($13) scratch card.

Camelot, which runs the lottery, said Friday it couldn’t confirm details of the story because of winner-anonymity rules. The firm said it holds a “thorough investigation” if there is any doubt about a claim.
