Muslims flee, Christians grieve in Sri Lankan town torn by violence

NEGOMBO, Sri Lanka (Reuters) – As mourners buried the remains of Christian worshippers killed by the Easter Sunday suicide bomb attacks in Sri Lanka, hundreds of Muslim refugees fled Negombo on the country’s west coast where communal tensions have flared in recent days.

At least 359 people perished in the coordinated series of blasts targeting churches and hotels. Church leaders believe the final toll from the attack on St Sebastian’s Church in Negombo could be close to 200, almost certainly making Negombo the deadliest of the six near-simultaneous attacks.

On Wednesday, hundreds of Pakistani Muslims fled the multi-ethnic port an hour north of the capital, Colombo. Crammed into buses organized by community leaders and police, they left fearing for their safety after threats of revenge from locals.

“Because of the bomb blasts and explosions that have taken place here, the local Sri Lankan people have attacked our houses,” Adnan Ali, a Pakistani Muslim, told Reuters as he prepared to board a bus. “Right now we don’t know where we will go.”

Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attacks, yet despite Islamic State being a Sunni jihadist group, many of the Muslims fleeing Negombo belong to the Ahmadi community, who had been hounded out of Pakistan years ago after their sect was declared non-Muslim.

The fallout from Sunday’s attacks appears set to render them homeless once more.

Farah Jameel, a Pakistani Ahmadi, said she had been thrown out of her house by her landlord.

“She said ‘get out of here and go wherever you want to go, but don’t live here’,” she told Reuters, gathered with many others at the Ahmadiyya Mosque, waiting for buses to take them to a safe location.

“I HAVE NOTHING NOW”

Sri Lanka’s government is in disarray over the failure to prevent the attacks, despite repeated warnings from intelligence sources.

Police have detained an unspecified number of people were detained in western Sri Lanka, the scene of anti-Muslim riots in 2014, in the wake of the attacks, and raids were carried out in neighborhoods around St Sebastian’s Church.

Police played down the threats to the refugees, but said they have been inundated with calls from locals casting suspicion on Pakistanis in Negombo.

“We have to search houses if people suspect,” said Herath BSS Sisila Kumara, the officer in charge at Katara police station, where 35 of the Pakistanis that gathered at the mosque were taken into police custody for their own protection, before being sent to an undisclosed location.

“All the Pakistanis have been sent to safe houses,” he said. “Only they will decide when they come back.”

Two kilometers away, makeshift wooden crosses marked the new graves at the sandy cemetery of St Sebastian’s Church, as the latest funerals on Wednesday took the number buried there to 40.

Channa Repunjaya, 49, was at home when he heard about the blast at St Sebastian’s. His wife, Chandralata Dassanaike and nine-year-old daughter Meeranhi both died.

“I felt like committing suicide when I heard that they had died,” he told Reuters by the open graves. “I have nothing now.”

Meeranhi’s grandmother, with her head still bandaged after being wounded in the attack, was held by a relative as the first handfuls of earth were scattered upon her child-sized coffin.

Most of Sri Lanka’s 22 million people are Buddhist, but the Indian Ocean island’s population includes Muslim, Hindu and Christian minorities. Until now, Christians had largely managed to avoid the worst of the island’s conflict and communal tensions.

There were signs of some religious communities pulling together following Sunday’s outrage.

Saffron- and scarlet-robed Buddhist monks from a nearby monastery handed out bottled water to mourners who gathered under a baking afternoon sun.

But the town, which has a long history of sheltering refugees – including those made homeless by a devastating tsunami in 2004 – may struggle to recover from Sunday’s violence, said Father Jude Thomas, one of dozens of Catholic priests who attended Wednesday’s burials.

“Muslims and Catholics lived side by side,” he said. “It was always a peaceful area, but now things have come to the surface we cannot control.”

What Will Democrats Do After Russia Probe Fizzles?

X

Story Stream

recent articles

Has the Democratic Party reduced its chances of denying President Trump a second term by continuing to concentrate on throwing him out before the end of his first? You can make a good case that it has.

Democrats have been itching to oust Trump since the days before he took the oath of office. Obama administration law enforcement and intelligence agencies launched investigations into candidate Trump's campaign, contrary to the general rule that such agencies should avoid interfering with electoral politics.

Astonishingly, they relied primarily, if not exclusively, on information bought and paid for by the Clinton campaign, in the Steele dossier. Then-FBI Director James Comey briefed the dossier's most salacious allegation to the incoming president, an act he presumably considered a form of blackmail.

The supposition, breathlessly reported almost daily by certain cable news channels, is that candidate Trump was in criminal collusion with Vladimir Putin's Russia. But the air has fizzled out of this balloon. Special counsel Robert Mueller, after nearly two years, has produced no indictments pointing to such collusion.

The only collusion that has had a political effect is the belief, held by many Democratic voters, that the Russians somehow switched hundreds of thousands of votes through computer hacking or a handful of diabolically clever Facebook ads. Many such people bitterly cling to their belief that Trump's impeachment and removal from office is imminent.

Democratic politicians evidently feel compelled to cater to these delusions, even as it becomes apparent that the Mueller investigation will soon end without any recommendation or basis for that.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff promises that he will conduct extensive hearings. There is "abundant evidence of collusion," Schiff has said, but he has either not set it out or said it's already public.

Not much more forthcoming was House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler on ABC News last weekend. "We do not have the evidence all sorted out and everything to do -- to do an impeachment," he said. "Before you impeach somebody, you have to persuade the American public that it ought to happen. You have to persuade enough of the -- of the opposition party voters, Trump voters, that you're not just trying to ... steal the last -- to reverse the results of the last election."

My Washington Examiner colleague Byron York takes that as "Democrats have decided to impeach Trump and are now simply doing the legwork involved." The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway reached the same conclusion when listening to Nadler chat on his cellphone on the Acela train just after last November's election.

If so, they'd be moving on shaky ground. Nadler says it's "very clear" Trump has obstructed justice, but the first sign he points to -- Trump's referring to the Mueller investigation as a "witch hunt" -- is unpersuasive. That's probably not an impeachable offense to many of the 35 percent who told Quinnipiac this month that Congress should start impeachment proceedings now.

Now, it's 28 months since the last presidential election and only 20 months until the next one. In April 2007, after Democrats had just won congressional majorities, Nadler brushed aside calls to impeach then-President George W. Bush. "The timing is all wrong," he told the Washington Times. "If this were the first two years of his administration I would advocate impeachment. A lot of people at home say impeachment, and I'm sure he committed a lot of impeachable offenses, but think about it practically."

"At home" for Nadler is upscale parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn, areas thick with the urban white college graduates who, along with blacks and Hispanics, are Democrats' strongest constituencies. On many issues these days -- even on racial issues -- they're the party's most left-wing bloc, and probably the voters most determined to oust and humiliate the vulgar arriviste Donald Trump.

Urban white college grads had the highest turnout rates in mayoral elections in New York two years ago and in Chicago this year. Blacks and Hispanics, in contrast to past decades, were less interested. Urban whites were also the chief group surging Democratic in 2018 elections in Florida and Texas, according to Republican analyst Patrick Ruffini.

It was young white college grads and gentrifiers who elected Rep. Alexandria Occasion-Cortez in her Queens/Bronx upset last June. And her Green New Deal proposal, including things like moving toward eliminating beef and private cars, appeals more to that group than to blacks and Hispanics.

Pursuing impeachment looks like one more example of Democrats letting AOC types set their agenda -- and distract them from developing policies that will enthuse minorities and appeal to suburbanites whose votes they'll need next year.

Mexican president touts good ties with US in first 100 days

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is celebrating what he called his administration's "cordial" relations with the United State as he marks his first 100 days in office.

When Lopez Obrador took office Dec. 1, many feared the leftist was headed for a certain clash with conservative U.S. President Donald Trump.

But the two have maintained civil relations, without the frequent insults and name-calling Trump had once subjected Mexico to.

Mexico has quietly cooperated with the United States by allowing asylum applicants to be sent back to Mexico while they await resolution of their cases.

Lopez Obrador said Monday that "accusatory and angry talk is no longer heard. Instead we use diplomacy and constant communication."

'Bomb cyclone' to sock central US with blizzard conditions, severe weather, raging winds for up to 70 million

A late-season storm system is forecast to explode over the central U.S. on Wednesday, becoming a "bomb cyclone" as it slams the region with blizzard conditions, heavy rains and fierce winds that threaten to snarl travel for tens of millions.

The National Weather Service said the "highly impactful winter storm" will intensify over the Central Rockies before pushing eastward through the Central Plains. The storm is expected to reach the criteria of a "bomb cyclone" because it's going to strengthen by dropping 24 millibars in 24 hours, according to Fox News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean.

"70 million people will potentially be affected by this storm system across the Plains states, bringing blizzard conditions, potential tornadoes and flash flooding," Dean said Wednesday on "FOX & friends."

A millibar is the measurement of atmospheric pressure, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

WHAT IS A 'BOMB CYCLONE'?

“This can happen when a cold air mass collides with a warm air mass, such as air over warm ocean waters,” the National Ocean Service explains on its website. “The formation of this rapidly strengthening weather system is a process called ‘bombogenesis,’ which creates what is known as a bomb cyclone.” The same type of strengthening can happen to a storm that's over land, like the system on Wednesday.

The "bomb cyclone" is expected to bring heavy snow to the Rockies, high winds, and the threat of severe weather.

The storm on Wednesday is expected to bring up to 18 inches of snow could fall in parts of Colorado and Wyoming, and possibly of the strongest storms that Kansas has experienced, according to Dean.

The NWS Boulder officer urged people to cancel travel plans Wednesday afternoon and evening, warning of whiteout conditions.

Blizzard warnings stretch from the Denver area all the way north through Nebraska, Wyoming into the Dakotas and northern Minnesota. There is also the threat of flash flooding across the Upper Midwest, according to Dean.

Besides the heavy snows, the intensifying storm is going to bring hurricane-force winds blowing snow around, and very high winds up to 75-mph along the southern side of the storm.

A potential "dangerous wind event" is expected across New Mexico, western Texas, parts of Oklahoma Kansas, and Colorado.

"Very high winds will also affect large portions of the Southern to Central High Plains where high wind warnings have been issued by the National Weather Service offices across these areas," the NWS' Weather Prediction Center said. Sustained wind speeds of 30 to 40 mph with gusts over 60 mph are expected across most of New Mexico, western Texas, central to western Oklahoma, in addition to parts of Kansas and southeast Colorado.

"This is potentially a dangerous wind event," the NWS' Midland office said. "This will be one of the strongest wind events in years for West Texas and Southeast New Mexico."

The threat of severe weather remained on the eastern side of the storm, stretching from Texas into the Mississippi Valley for locations such as Little Rock and Memphis.

All major metro Denver districts have already canceled school for Wednesday, and Denver International Airport announced that over 900 flights have been canceled due to the storm, FOX31 reported.

The onslaught of additional snow comes after Colorado is dealing with the continuing threat of avalanches this winter.

An avalanche injured a sheriff and his daughters Tuesday when it smashed into their home in rural Colorado. Hinsdale County Sheriff Justin Casey was with his two teenage daughters in their home nestled in the San Juan Mountains when the slide hit.

Casey managed to call for help, and about 15 rescuers found the family within an hour. Casey and one of his daughters were treated for minor injuries.

"The house is destroyed. Completely destroyed,"  Sandy Hines, an administrative assistant for the county, told the Associated Press.

About 15 homes near Casey's property were evacuated as a precaution. Other residents in the area were warned of the possibility of additional avalanches.

"This is all unprecedented," said Hines, who has lived in the area for 25 years.

Report: NKorea Could Start Stealing Intellectual Property

North Korea reportedly could turn to stealing business secrets to crank up their economy, according to Axios.

Citing a theory from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, Axios reported North Korea is one of the "big four" hacking threats — along with China, Russia, and Iran — but it currently focuses on cash.

According to Axios, North Korea's long-held strategy had emphasized parallel development of nuclear and economic power. Since they have announced they achieved the first goal, that leaves the economic goal as a focus.

"North Korea will want to leapfrog its way into the global economy," Adam Meyers, vice president of intelligence at CrowdStrike, told Axios. "Vietnam is frequently mentioned as the model North Korea would follow to build a sustainable economy. But China would be on the table, too."

While CrowdStrike does not see any current intellectual property theft, Meyers suggested a shift could happen in the next two years, Axios reported.

Jenny Town, an analyst for the Stimson Center and managing editor of its North Korea-focused 38 North blog, told Axios the shift CrowdStrike is predicting is something to watch out for.

"It has been dangerous in the past to underestimate North Korea on these things," she said.

Still, Axios noted, North Korea lacks the infrastructure for the kinds of high-tech manufacturing that China succeeded with — and does not have the equipment to mass-produce cheap, modern products.

"They're making a fair amount of money through hard currency, and they'd have to reassign those resources to do this," Adam Segal, director of the digital and cyberspace policy program at the Council on Foreign Relations, told Axios.

But Robert Manning, an Atlantic Council resident senior fellow, told Axios any intellectual property theft would probably favor goods that are easy to fabricate — like pharmaceuticals and pirated movies.

Banned from internet or not? Does Ghosn’s tweet violate bail terms?

Former Nissan Motor Chairman Carlos Ghosn leaves his lawyer's office in Tokyo

April 4, 2019

By Kwiyeon Ha and Ami Miyazaki

TOKYO (Reuters) – Carlos Ghosn’s sudden emergence on Twitter, a day before he was re-arrested on Thursday, has raised questions about whether the former Nissan Motor boss violated the strict terms of his $9 million bail – something his lawyer has denied.

Ghosn was released on March 6 after more than three months in detention for charges including financial misconduct. At the time, his legal team said he had agreed to a series of conditions, including no access to the internet and that he could only use a computer not linked to the web at his lawyer’s office.

However, it was not clear how the internet ban would be enforced, and the bail terms were not made public – as is typical in Japan – making it difficult to determine details.

The issue was thrown into the spotlight after a tweet from new account @carlosghosn appeared in English and Japanese around midday on Wednesday. It said: “I’m getting ready to tell the truth about what’s happening. Press conference on Thursday, April 11.”

Featuring a photo of a smiling, grey-haired Ghosn in front of a cherry tree, now in full bloom in Japan – and symbolizing the onset of spring for many Japanese – the account prompted journalists to try to ascertain its authenticity.

Forty minutes later, a blue tick appeared, showing that Twitter had verified the owner of the account. The number of followers surged to 20,000 from just a handful earlier, and by midday Thursday, the number had grown to more than 40,000.

If Ghosn violates his bail conditions, which also included installing surveillance cameras in the entrance of his Tokyo residence, the Tokyo District Court could send him back to jail and make him forfeit his $9 million.

However, his lead lawyer Junichiro Hironaka told journalists late on Wednesday that Ghosn had not violated bail terms, saying his client could access the internet from a computer in the lawyers’ office provided all usage was logged and reported to authorities. He did not elaborate on the discrepancy between the conditions initially disclosed last month.

“He expressed an interest in using Twitter awhile back, so as long as his lawyers checked the content, it was OK,” said Hironaka. “Just sending out tweets on his own would create problems.”

“I don’t know if he himself wrote the tweet, but he didn’t violate bail conditions,” said Hironaka, nicknamed “the Razor” for many high-profile cases he has won in a country where the conviction rate is 99.9 percent.

It is not uncommon for public figures to have assistants tweet on their behalf, dictated or otherwise.

The Tokyo District Court handling Ghosn’s case said it does not disclose bail conditions and that it was impossible to say whether the tweet had violated the terms. Such decisions are left to the judges handling the case, it said.

The Tokyo Prosecutors Office declined to comment, saying bail matters are handled by the court.

Early on Thursday, Ghosn was subjected to a fourth arrest, this time on fresh charges of breach of trust at Nissan in what media reports linked to payments to an Omani vehicle dealer.

By late morning, Japanese media said he had been taken back to the Tokyo Detention Center, where he spent 108 days after being first arrested in November.

Ghosn faces charges of financial misconduct and aggravated breach of trust over allegedly failing to report around $82 million in salary and temporarily transferring personal financial losses onto Nissan’s books during the 2008 financial crisis. He denies wrongdoing.

Ghosn, in a statement provided through his U.S.-based spokesman, called the latest arrest “outrageous and arbitrary,” and that it was “part of another attempt by some individuals at Nissan to silence me”.

Schumer Blasts Trump for 'War on Healthcare'

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., ripped into President Donald Trump and Attorney General William Barr for their efforts to get a court to toss out the Affordable Care Act.

Schumer, in a Wednesday tweet, said:

"Two nights ago, @realDonaldTrump and AG Barr decided to take their war on healthcare to a new level: They declared that the entire Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional. This would eliminate coverage for millions and raise costs for millions more."

The administration is asking a federal appeals court to strike down the entire healthcare law.

In a video clip attached to the tweet, Schumer elaborated on his opposition during a speech on the Senate floor.

"The president wants to go back to repeal and replace again?" Schumer said. "Make our day.

"The Republicans here in the Senate tried over and over and over again to deal with repeal and replace. They couldn't – because they have no replacement.

"The American people spoke loud and clear in the November (2018) election and addressed the Republican antics by beating them resoundingly."

And he added: "So, indeed, if the Republican Party wants to be, in Donald Trump's words, 'the party of healthcare,' God help the middle class."

April 26, 2019

By James Davey

LONDON (Reuters) – With Sainsbury’s dream of creating Britain’s biggest supermarket group in tatters, its chastened CEO Mike Coupe needs to reassure investors he has the plan to arrest a sales decline when he presents annual results next week.

Britain’s competition regulator blocked Sainsbury’s 7.3 billion pound ($9.4 billion) takeover of Walmart’s Asda on Thursday, saying the deal would increase prices. Sainsbury’s shares fell 5 percent and are down 22 percent over the last three months.

For Sainsbury’s fourth quarter to March 9 analysts are on average forecasting a 1.6 percent fall in like-for-like sales, which would follow 1.1 percent decline over the Christmas period.

Monthly industry data from researcher Kantar has also shown Sainsbury’s as the weakest performer of the big four grocers this year and this month it lost its status as Britain’s No. 2 supermarket group by market share to Asda.

While Sainsbury’s has struggled, market leader Tesco has gained momentum, this month reporting a 34 percent jump in full year profit.

Prohibition of the deal was a major blow to Coupe, its architect and Sainsbury’s boss since 2014.

Martin Scicluna became Sainsbury’s chairman last month and when bedded-in may decide that if the group needs a major shake-up it is best carried out by a new leader.

Much will depend on the attitude of 22 percent shareholder the Qatar Investment Authority, which has so far declined to comment, as well as Coupe’s own appetite to continue after 15 years at the group.

THE RIGHT STRATEGY?

Coupe said on Thursday he was confident Sainsbury’s was pursuing the right strategy.

That was a clear indication that Wednesday’s results statement will not include radical changes to the group’s plans, such as a big margin reset — sacrificing profit to drive sales.

However, sources connected to Sainsbury’s said Coupe would likely acknowledge that more needs to be done on prices, so the supermarket business can better compete with its big four rivals – Tesco, Asda and No. 4 Morrisons – as well as German-owned discounters Aldi and Lidl.

Coupe’s strategy is based on differentiating Sainsbury’s food offer, growing its general merchandise, clothing business and bank, while investing in convenience and online channels.

Some analysts believe major change is needed.

HSBC analyst David McCarthy reckons Sainsbury’s needs a margin reset, should allocate more space for core lines and needs to drive better store standards. He said Sainsbury’s might consider closing down space in some of its larger stores and reducing its non-food offer.

For the full 2018-19 year analysts are on average forecasting a pretax profit of 626 million pounds, up from 589 million pounds in 2017-18 – a second straight year of profit growth. A full year dividend of 10.5 pence per share is forecast versus 10.2 pence last time.

Bank and lawyer fees related to the proposed combination with Asda were 17 million pounds in the first half and have reportedly jumped to around 50 million pounds.

OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canada posted a budget surplus in the first 11 months of the 2018/19 fiscal year compared to a deficit the year earlier as revenues increased mostly on higher tax incomes, the finance department said on Friday.

The surplus for April-February was C$3.1 billion, compared to a deficit of C$6 billion in the same 2017/18 period. Revenues climbed by 8.5 percent, mainly due to higher tax receipts, while program expenses rose by 4.8 percent.

The surplus for February was C$4.3 billion compared with C$2.8 billion in February 2018. Revenues jumped by 12.2 percent while program expenses posted a more modest 6.9 percent gain.

Last month, the Liberals unveiled their new budget, projecting a C$14.9 billion deficit in 2018/19, with the deficit rising to C$19.8 billion in fiscal 2019/20.

President Trump said Friday he would beat Joe Biden “easily” in the 2020 presidential election, suggesting the former vice president could not have enough “energy” to hold the post—taking an apparent swipe at his age.

The president, departing the White House, was asked about Biden’s entrance into the Democratic primary field. Biden announced his presidential bid early Thursday morning, marking his third attempt at the White House.

JOE BIDEN OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES 2020 PRESIDENTIAL BID

“I think we’d beat him easily,” Trump told reporters Friday.

Trump, 72, said he feels “young” and is ready for 2020, and another term for his administration.

“I feel like a young man. I am a young, vibrant man,” Trump said. “I look at Joe, I don’t know about him.”

The president’s comments seemingly were a shot at the age of Biden, who is 76.

BIDEN ENTERS WHITE HOUSE RACE WITHOUT OBAMA’S ENDORSEMENT

“I would never say anyone’s too old,” Trump said. “I know they’re all making me look very young both in terms of age and in terms of energy.”

Biden became the 20th candidate to join the crowded Democratic primary field Thursday. But Biden is not the oldest in the pack. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is 77 and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is 69.

Should Trump be re-elected, he would be 74 on Jan. 20, 2021—Inauguration Day. Should the presidency go to one of the elder Democrats in the field—Biden would be 78; Sanders would be 79; and Warren would be 71.

Meanwhile, in a wide-ranging interview on “Hannity” Thursday night, Trump dismissed Biden’s candidacy, nicknaming him “Sleepy Joe,” and saying he’s “not the brightest bulb.” Trump also said that while the former vice president has name recognition, he won’t “be able to do the job.”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Treasury Department on Friday imposed sanctions on Venezuela’s foreign minister and a Venezuelan judge, according to a statement on the department’s website.

Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza and a judge, Carol Padilla, were targeted over the ongoing crisis in Venezuela, the Treasury Department said, the latest in a list of officials blacklisted by U.S. authorities for their role in President Nicolas Maduro’s government.
