Suspect in crash that killed 3 Girl Scouts, mom due in court

The man accused in a hit-and-run crash that killed three Girl Scouts and a mother as they collected trash along a highway in Wisconsin is due in court.

Colten Treu is scheduled to appear in Chippewa County court on Friday for a preliminary hearing. The 22-year-old is accused of huffing from an aerosol canister before crashing his pickup truck into members of Girl Scout Troop 3055 in November as they picked up litter in Lake Hallie.

Treu hasn't entered a plea. His public defenders didn't immediately return a message seeking comment Friday.

The four people killed in the crash were 9-year-old Jayna Kelley and 10-year-old Autumn Helgeson, who were both from Lake Hallie; and 10-year-old Haylee Hickle and her mother, 32-year-old Sara Jo Schneider, from Lafayette.

A fifth person, Madalyn Zwiefelhofer, was injured.

Driver of truck involved in GOP train crash likely caused collision, NTSB says

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reportedly determined that the garbage truck driver involved in an accident last year with a train carrying GOP members was the likely cause of the crash.

The agency’s concluding report, released Thursday, listed a few of what they said were likely contributing factors to the crash in Virginia that left one person dead, according to The Associated Press.

Among the probable causes to the incident was the driver’s choice to navigate around the railroad crossing’s lowered safety gates, as well as their lack of movement once on the tracks, the NTSB said.

FLASHBACK: TRAIN CARRYING GOP LAWMAKERS TO RETREAT HITS TRUCK ON TRACKS, 1 KILLED

The crash unfolded in January 2018 in Crozet, Va., and Republican lawmakers onboard were bound for a retreat in West Virginia. But their plans were thwarted when the train slammed into a garbage truck.

The person killed was one of two passengers inside the truck.

Drugs also likely played a role in the crash, the agency determined. Results from a test of the driver’s blood showed the psychoactive ingredient found in marijuana, in addition to an anti-seizure medication, according to The Associated Press.

Authorities were reportedly unsuccessful in locating a prescription for the medication.

The report also indicated instances of purported slow decision-making.

"The truck driver's lack of response after stopping the truck and being positioned between two obstacles for several seconds is an example of slow decision-making," the report said.

The trash truck's driver, Dana William Naylor Jr., had already been indicted locally on involuntary manslaughter and DUI charges, according to The Associated Press.

But a charge of maiming under the influence was dropped after a judge ruled out certain scientific testimony and blood evidence, the outlet said, citing the Daily Progress.

Last month, a jury found Naylor not guilty of involuntary manslaughter. He still faces civil suits filed by people who were on the train.

DHS Secretary Nielsen to travel to southern border amid migration crisis

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen will travel to the southern border this week with plans to visit ports of entry and speak with law enforcement officials before joining President Trump in California on Friday near a section of border wall, DHS officials told Fox News.

Nielsen will travel to El Paso, Texas, on Wednesday to visit a port of entry, border station and be briefed by local officials, before traveling to Yuma, Arizona, on Thursday to meet with DHS leaders from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for a roundtable with law enforcement and local officials, as well as representatives from non-governmental organizations.

TRUMP STANDS BY BORDER CLOSURE THREAT, AS AIDES SAY ALL OPTIONS BEING EXPLORED

El Paso has been hard hit by the surge in illegal immigrants coming across the southern border. The Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) sector and facility is currently over capacity by 280 percent, with more than 3,400 migrants in custody, officials say.

On Friday, Nielsen will travel to Calexico in California, where she is scheduled to join Trump in visiting the border wall and participate in a roundtable discussion on the border crisis and “the way forward.”

Trump has declared an emergency at the southern border, and in recent days has mulled closing the border in response to the increase in illegal border crossings -- while calling for Mexico to increase efforts to stop the migration flows across the border.

IT'S A 'CAT 5' IMMIGRATION CRISIS: NIELSEN

"If we don't make a deal with Congress...or if Mexico doesn't do what they should be doing...then we're going to close the border, that's going to be it, or we're going to close large sections of the border, maybe not all of it," he said.

"We're going to have a strong border or we're going to have a closed border," he said. "We're going to see what happens."

DHS announced that it is taking a “disaster response” approach to the crisis and that Nielsen has directed agencies to “surge resources and personnel” toward border security and migration management. Nielsen said the administration is treating the immigration crisis as a "Cat 5 hurricane disaster."

“We are bringing all of the agencies together; we're asking everybody to chip in,” Nielsen said on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

Dershowitz Says Trump Emergency Goes Against Constitution

Dershowitz Says Trump Emergency Goes Against Constitution

Attorney Alan Dershowitz thinks President Donald Trump's national emergency declaration was a "mistake," he admitted in a new interview.

"There will be a lawsuit. No doubt about it. It will be tied up in the courts for a long time," Dershowitz said on Sunday's "The Cats Roundtable" radio radio show, hosted by billionaire businessman John Catsimatidis.

"My own view is that it was a mistake to do it. I think emergencies are things that happened suddenly. The problems with immigration are long-term."

Trump declared the emergency on Friday in order to secure more funding to build a border barrier between the United States and Mexico. Lawmakers struck a deal to stave off a government shutdown by allocating $1.375 billion for the barrier, far less than the $5.7 billion Trump requested.

Trump's emergency order resulted in roughly $6 billion from the Pentagon's budget and $600 million from the Treasury Department being shifted over to use for the border barrier, Bloomberg reported. Dershowitz said the executive order flies in the face of the Constitution.

"The Constitution requires that all spending bills originate in the House of Representatives. This is a way of circumventing that provision of the Constitution," he said.

Angelina Jolie pushes for women to be part of Afghan peace talks

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – Academy Award-winning actress and refugee activist Angelina Jolie pushed for the inclusion of women in peace talks to end the conflict in Afghanistan during an address to ministers and diplomats at the United Nations on Friday.

Peace talks between U.S. and Taliban officials began late last year. However, some women fear the freedoms eked out since U.S.-backed Afghan forces overthrew the Taliban in 2001 could slide backwards, and complain their voices are being sidelined.

“In Afghanistan thousands of women have recently come together in public risking their lives to ask that their rights and the rights of their children be guaranteed in peace negotiations that so far they have been allow no part of,” Jolie told a ministerial meeting on U.N. peacekeeping.

“The international community’s silent response is alarming to say the least,” said Jolie, a special envoy for the U.N. refugee agency UNHCR, which she began working with 18 years ago. “There can be no peace or stability in Afghanistan or anywhere else in the world that involves trading away the rights of women.”

While the Taliban has said in official statements they might consider more liberal policies toward women, their chief negotiator has said the constitution, which protects women’s rights, is an obstacle to peace, said the U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction on Thursday.

Jolie also touted the importance of a United States that is “part of an international community,” after a retreat by U.S. President Donald Trump from U.N. agencies and global agreements that has some countries concerned about his commitment to multilateralism.

“I’m a patriot, I love my country and I want to see it thrive. I also believe in an America that is part of an international community. Countries working together on equal footing is how we reduce the risk of conflict,” she said.

“A country that believes that all men and women are born free and equal cannot be true to itself if it doesn’t defend those principles for all people, wherever they live,” she said.

Thai border police killed by suspected insurgents in south

Police says two Border Patrol Police officers in southern Thailand have been killed while praying in a mosque in the latest violence believed linked to a Muslim separatist insurgency.

The chief of Than To police station in Yala province said Friday that four attackers slipped into the mosque and shot the officers at point-blank range in the head.

Police Col. Pariwat Kwanmanij said the attackers, who fled after the shooting, were suspected of being part of an insurgency that flared in 2004 and has claimed about 7,000 lives in predominantly Buddhist Thailand's three southernmost provinces, which have Muslim majorities.

The insurgents seek to scare Buddhists into leaving the area, but many Muslims cooperating with the authorities have also been targeted.

Fast-moving fire kills more than 80 in ancient part of Bangladesh capital

A fast-moving fire swept through a historic district in the capital of Bangladesh late Wednesday evening killing at least 81 people and gutting an area that dates back more than 400 years ago, officials said.

The blaze broke out in a residential building that had flammable material stored on the ground floor and quickly leaped from building to building in the ancient district of Chawkbazar in Dhaka.

Witnesses said many gas cylinders stored in the buildings continued to explode one after another in the warren of narrow streets with apartments squeezed over shots, restaurants and industrial warehouses on the ground floors.

Officials said firefighters struggled to reach the area because of heavy traffic and narrow alleys that were busy when the fire started.

Members of a bridal party are thought to be among the victims, BBC reported.

Mahfuz Riben, from Dhaka Fire Service and Civil Defense, told Sky News that it was “a difficult situation” as many of the recovered bodies were “beyond recognition.”

Mohammad Firoz told BBC’s Bengali service that at least 25 of his friends and relatives are missing and fears that his brother is among those who perished.

“The flames spread so quickly,” he said, adding that he saw an electricity transformer explode, which caused a minibus parked below to catch fire.

It was not immediately clear what ignited the fire.

Chawkbazar is one of the most important areas in Old Dhaka established about 400 years ago during the Mughal dynasty. It is a hub of chemical businesses and local perfume factories, though authorities banned the storage of chemical goods after a fire near Chawkbazar killed at least 123 people in 2010.

After that fire authorities promised to bring the area into compliance with building codes and regulations, and evict chemical warehouses from buildings where people lived.

Industrial facilities can't legally exist in areas that are zoned residential, said Mohammed Manjur Morshed, an assistant professor of urban planning at Khulna University of Engineering and Technology.

Government regulations are sufficient but are routinely flouted in Chawkbazar, according to officials.

"This type of thing happens, there's a big initiative to move everything out, and then after some time people forget about it and the government is really not interested anymore. It's like that," Morshed said.

Morshed said government regulations are sufficient but are routinely flouted in Chawkbazar.

"This is a historic area with a distinct culture," he said. "They are not really abiding by the government's rules."

ZURICH (Reuters) – Shareholders approved Credit Suisse’s 2018 compensation report with an 82 percent majority on Friday, overriding frustrations expressed at its annual general meeting over jumps in executive pay during a year its share price plummeted.

Three shareholder advisers had recommended investors vote against Switzerland’s second-biggest bank’s remuneration report, while a fourth backed the report but expressed reservations about whether management pay matched performance.

The approval marked a slight increase over the 80.8 percent support garnered for the bank’s 2017 compensation report.

LONDON (Reuters) – Activist investor Edward Bramson is likely to fail in his attempt to get a board seat at Barclays’ annual meeting next week, even though shareholders are dissatisfied with performance of the group’s investment bank.

New York-based Bramson’s Sherborne Investors and the board of the British bank have been sparring for months over Barclays’ strategy.

Bramson wants to scale back Barclays’ investment bank to reduce risk and boost shareholder returns. Barclays Chief Executive Jes Staley remains staunchly committed to growing the business out of trouble.

After failing to persuade Staley to change course since he began building a 5.5 percent stake in the bank in March last year, Bramson hopes a board seat will rachet up the pressure.

Both sides have written to shareholders pitching their case and Bramson has courted investors in one-on-one meetings, although none have publicly backed him yet.

Interviews by Reuters with five institutional investors in Barclays suggest Bramson has failed to persuade them.

Sherborne declined to comment.

Mirza Baig, head of investment stewardship at top-40 shareholder Aviva Investors, said Bramson was welcome on the bank’s register but the boardroom was a step too far.

“He has created a lot of value at other businesses, but, generally, when he has come in as executive chair and taken full control. This would be a different case where he would just be one lone voice on the board,” he said.

A second Barclays shareholder said he backed Bramson’s goal of improving returns but via an “evolutionary” approach.

“If you look at banks that have tried to restructure their operations in investment banking – you look at Natwest Markets, Deutsche Bank – I struggle to think of an example where a roughshod restructuring has been accretive to shareholder value.”

A third, top-30 investor said he had been impressed by incoming Chairman Nigel Higgins’ grasp of the challenge in hand, and felt investors would give him time.

“Management know they have to execute and deliver improved returns… [Higgins] will continue to re-shape the board but obviously he didn’t feel that having someone with a diametrically opposed view on it would be helpful.”

A fourth, top-30 investor agreed: “We voted for the chairman to come in and it would be crazy to allow an activist to join the board (at this time).”

Jupiter Fund Management, the 24th largest investor, said it also planned to vote against Bramson.

Barclays has nearly 500 institutional shareholders, Refinitiv data showed.

Since Staley joined Barclays in 2015, the investment bank returns relative to capital invested have increased but are still underperforming the overall business.

Barclays’ first-quarter figures showed the investment bank posted a 6 percent drop in income from its markets business and a 17 percent fall in banking advisory fees.

Returns in the investment bank fell to 9.5 percent from 13.2 percent a year ago.

Famed for successful campaigns against smaller British companies in sectors from chemicals to advertising, Bramson’s board seat pitch has been rebuffed by shareholder advisory firms.

Institutional Shareholder Services, the world’s biggest, said Bramson’s proposal “falls short of what can reasonably be expected from a shareholder trying to address issues at a 28 billion pounds, systemically important bank”.

Glass Lewis also flagged concern about Bramson’s lack of banking experience and “questionable” shareholding structure, referring to Sherborne’s use of derivative contracts to hedge losses should its strategy fail.

Critics said the arrangement meant his interests are not truly aligned with those of other long-term shareholders.

British advisory firm Pirc, however, said it recommended that investors abstain in the vote on Bramson’s proposal as a challenge to the board to do better in the year ahead – or face a similar contest in 2020.

(Reuters) – U.S. oil and natural gas producer Chevron Corp reported a 27 percent fall in quarterly earnings on Friday, hit by lower crude prices and weaker margins in its refining and chemicals businesses.

Net income attributable to the company fell to $2.65 billion, or $1.39 per share, for the first quarter ended March 31, from $3.64 billion, or $1.90 per share, a year earlier.

Earlier in the day, larger rival Exxon Mobil Corp reported earnings well below analysts’ estimates, as margins in its refining business were hurt by higher Canadian prices and heavy scheduled maintenance.
