This legendary man now faces a mighty challenge -- and the sad news of his illness reminds us of the fortitude so many brought to the civil rights struggle and the somber reality that we are slowly losing the generation that defeated Jim Crow segregation in America.\n\nPeniel Joseph\n\nEvery generation that passes into history takes with it vital institutional memory that indelibly shapes contemporary notions of citizenship, freedom and democracy. Lewis' generation has done this in momentous ways. Beyond the quest for voting rights and struggles to end Jim Crow in public schools and neighborhoods lay the undiscovered country of full citizenship for everyone from semi-literate sharecroppers in the Mississippi Delta to the unjustly incarcerated in big cities across America.\n\nThe life and legacy of John Lewis encompasses the complex relationship between race and citizenship in America. The outpouring of love, support and concern that greeted the news of the congressman's medical diagnosis should be refracted though the lens of our own tumultuous time: an era marked by racial divisions, a democracy in peril and the alarming frequency of violence such as mass shootings and police killings of unarmed black people.\n\nIn the age of Donald Trump, the possible loss of a statesman such as John Lewis matters more than ever. In that sense the nation now finds itself lamenting the potential loss of its best self, the side of the national character purposeful enough to believe that sacrifice inevitably led to democratic renewal and reinvigorated moral purpose.\n\nJUST WATCHED Rep.

As a Freedom Rider in Anniston, Alabama, in May 1961, Lewis experienced a brutal attack by a white mob that nearly killed him. Four years later, as the chairman of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Lewis faced off against mounted Alabama state troopers at the Edmund Pettus Bridge, emerging as one of the heroes of \"Bloody Sunday\" and experiencing another beating that left him with permanent physical scars, wounds that helped to heal America's political soul.\n\nRead More", "unrestricted freedom to use .", "the unit must be in balance .", "demand as being one 's due or property ; assert one 's right or title to .", "act against or in opposition to .", "When you crossed the line, you violated the constitutional right,\" said Charles Weisselberg, who teaches law at the University of California, Berkeley.", "when you crossed the line , you violated the constitutional right , \" said charles weisselberg , who teaches law at the university of california , berkeley .", "The Supreme Court said Monday the government can require public libraries to equip computers with anti-pornography filters, rejecting librarians' complaints that the law amounts to censorship.", "Thirdly: the acceptance of enlargement and its positive prospects for the various countries and for the EU as a whole depend – the example of Denmark is there for us to show this - the elimination of social and democratic deficits of European policy.", "4.3k SHARES Facebook Twitter Whatsapp Pinterest Reddit Print Mail Flipboard\n\nOne of the most conservative judges in the country ruled against a Trump administration effort to allow the states to throw millions off Medicaid.\n\nVox reported:\n\nOne of the most conservative judges in the country just handed down an opinion saying that the Trump administration acted illegally when it permitted the state of Arkansas to strip health coverage from thousands of Medicaid beneficiaries.\n\nJudge David Sentelle’s opinion in Gresham v. Azar, on behalf of himself and two of his colleagues on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, is significant in its own right. But it is also significant because it suggests that the Trump administration will have a tough time defending its conduct if this case is heard by the Supreme Court.\n\nThe heart of the ruling is that Trump can’t toss out the objectives of Congress and replace them with his own. In other words, Congress makes the laws and Trump implements them. The President does not have the power to changes the legislative objectives that are passed by Congress.\n\nEighteen thousand people would have lost their Medicaid coverage in Arkansas, and without this ruling other larger red states would have followed Arkansas. The result would have been millions of Americans without health insurance coverage.\n\nTrump has made it his goal to publicly proclaim to be saving healthcare while privately attempting to take away insurance from millions of people.\n\nThe President is already worried that Democrats are going to kill him on healthcare, and court rulings that he broke the law while trying to make more Americans uninsured will only boost the Democratic case in November.\n\nFor more discussion about this story join our Rachel Maddow and MSNBC group.\n\nFollow Jason Easley on Facebook", "This House but also fought so that this reduction in funds allocated to the innovative actions is offset by the use of framework of flexibility, as defined in a statement on the financial perspective.", "exercise authoritative control or power over .", "russian president vladimir putin states that the decision is a response to u.s. plans to establish missile defense sites in eastern europe and to nato's failure to ratify an amended version of the treaty.", "the role of the head of a government department .", "russian president vladimir putin signed a decree suspending russia's participation in the conventional forces in europe treaty due to circumstances that affect the security of the russian federation and require immediate measure.", "Impeachment is a solemn process that impacts the American nation like no other political issue. At its core, the impeachment of a president is about determining whether that individual is fit to serve in the highest office of the land.\n\nIt is deliberately walled off from the question of that individual’s political appeal or public support. This is because, when drafting the American Constitution, its founding fathers inserted provisions to ensure that monarchical rule is never extended over the United States again. During the impeachment process, the House of Representatives conducts an inquiry of, drafts, debates, and then passes Articles of Impeachment. The US Senate then acts as a jury of those articles, conducting a trial overseen by the leader of the third branch of government – the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court – ultimately deciding whether to remove the president from office or not.\n\nThe House voted to impeach President Donald Trump for obstruction of Congress and abuse of power over his dealings with Ukraine, making him the third American president to be impeached. Soon, impeachment will be in the hands of the Senate. Embedded in the constitutional process of impeachment is an understanding that members of Congress, once elected, belong to the governing bodies in which they are serving and not to their own political parties. That is the burden of being an elected official – one must serve the entire country and honour his or her oath to the constitution.\n\nSenators from the Republican Party, however, have already indicated that they will approach impeachment along partisan lines. Leading Senate Republicans such as Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham have pre-emptively stated that they would seek to cut the impeachment trial short and acquit the president.\n\nUnfortunately, corruption of the impeachment process is surprisingly simple. There are no forcing mechanisms to require senators to be objective jurors. They must voluntarily choose to put their country first and to honour their constitutional oath. Nothing legally compels them to do so – just their integrity.\n\nFrom an overall political perspective, impeachment is a net negative for President Trump. A Fox News poll reports that 54 percent of registered American voters support impeachment and 50 percent support his removal from office. But this may not be enough to move the Senate, where 53 of the 100 Senators are Republicans and 67 votes are required to remove Trump. Many Republicans ultimately see their political fates tied to the president’s – in effect, choosing their political fortunes over their oaths to the constitution and the institutions in which they serve.\n\nYet, there is still a chance that some Republicans may not hold the partisan line, especially those who represent swing states, who are retiring, or who have already spoken out critically of Trump, such as Senators Mitt Romney (Utah), Cory Gardner (Colorado), Susan Collins (Maine), Lamar Alexander (Tennessee), Mike Enzi (Wyoming), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), and Martha McSally (Arizona).\n\nSetting the rules for the Senate trial is the next phase of the debate. These rules will define the procedures that will guide the trial, including determining whether there will be witnesses, whether more information from the White House will be sought, and the amount of time scheduled for debate. Senate Majority Leader McConnell will need 51 senators to support him, meaning that any three defecting Republicans can prevent his rules from taking effect. Currently, the pro-Trump camp is calling for limiting the number of direct witnesses to the president’s Ukraine moves. They also seek to make the process as short as possible.\n\nYet adding to the drama are the calculations of both Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi – they are trying to push McConnell to call witnesses and have a fair Senate trial. Specifically, Schumer is seeking testimony from direct advisers to and witnesses of the president, such as acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and former National Security Advisor John Bolton.\n\nThus, the internal Republican fight will be over whether to have witnesses at the Senate trial, with Democratic pressure coming from both inside and outside the Senate Chamber. What is only guaranteed is that when the Articles are sent over to the Senate by the House, that the chief justice will call for them to be presented by the House prosecutors, and then for the president’s team to rebut the charges against him.\n\nThe downside risk for Trump right now is that if the Republican senators decide to limit the Senate trial, they will permanently stain Trump’s reputation, as acquittal will be perceived as more an act of political loyalty than justice. Questions about Trump’s behaviour will never be publicly aired and answered, and instead will be buried under the Republican desire to hide the testimony of direct witnesses who could exculpate the president.\n\nSenate Republicans would be doing him no favour, as Trump would emerge deeply discredited in the eyes of a majority of Americans. Instead of being seen as innocent and vindicated, the president would be seen as protected and damaged. And Americans who support removal will see the country’s constitutional order threatened by a president who is no longer required to adhere to any rules.\n\nHowever, if some Republicans decide to hold their integrity above partisanship and make sure that witnesses are called to the trial, the potential exists for everything to change.\n\nThere have been moments in American congressional history where one witness has changed everything. Take for example the McCarthy Red-Scare hearings of 1954, when witness Joseph Welch confronted Senator Joseph McCarthy, stating “have you no sense of decency?” in front of a nationally televised audience. That line was unexpected, and it destroyed not only McCarthy’s crusade but also his career.\n\nThis is what the pro-Trump camp is most afraid of and will do anything to prevent from happening. Ultimately, regardless of what happens in the Senate, Trump will be damaged by the impeachment process. Either he gets acquitted by the Senate after an open trial with witnesses and still carries the label of “impeached”, or he gets acquitted without a fair trial and is seen as politically protected and above the law.\n\nAnd looming, just ever so slightly, remains the prospect of him still suffering the political death penalty and getting removed from office, the first time ever for a president in American history.\n\nComments", "the particular portion of space occupied by something .", "their donnerait-elle the right to divorce spouses who would have abandoned ?", "An Ohio law that bans a controversial late-term abortion procedure is constitutionally acceptable and the state can enforce it, a federal appeals court ruled yesterday.", "an interpretation of a text or action .", "the act of taking possession of or power over something .", "part ; cease or break association with .", "government income due to taxation .", "put under the control and authority of a federal government .", "WASHINGTON (AP) -- A federal appeals court in Washington has dismissed one of several ongoing lawsuits charging that President Donald Trump has illegally profited off the presidency.\n\nThe lawsuit the court dismissed Friday was filed by Democratic members of Congress in 2017.\n\nThe court was not ruling on whether Trump violated the law.

Defined meaning of the phrase cannot be found in the Constitution itself.\n\nThe first viewpoint by those who believe in a literal reading of the Constitution, the phrase means precisely what it says, that is criminal activity. They argue that the framers wanted only true criminal activities to be the basis for impeachment. The second viewpoint is much broader. It defines high crimes and misdemeanors as any serious abuse of power, including both legal—but corrupt—and illegal actions qualify. For instance, any civil officer may face impeachment for serious incompetence, misconduct, violations of oath of office, and, in the case of judges, activities that undermine public confidence or damage the integrity of the judiciary.\n\nFramers of the Constitution had considerable debate considering the issue of impeachment. As a matter of English practice and authoritative commentary by the mid-eighteenth century, impeachment embraced offenses involving official misconduct not necessarily those ordinarily punishable by the ordinary criminal law. Early discussion centered mostly on the idea of abuse or misuse of an official's government power.\n\nCoincidentally and concurrent with the Constitutional Convention in 1787, there was a prominent impeachment proceeding taking place in Great Britain. It was the impeachment of Warren Hastings, Governor-General of India for “high crimes and misdemeanors” including charged offenses involving administrative misconduct, corruption, and cruel administration toward the people of India—not mere crimes in the common law sense.\n\nOn June 13, the report of the “Committee of the Whole” included a resolution that the executive would be removable “on impeachment and conviction of malpractices or neglect of duty.” In subsequent debates, George Mason referred to “corruption” as grounds for impeachment. Governor Morris, who wavered upon whether the President should be impeachable at all, eventually affirmed that a power of impeachment was necessary to guard against a President “corrupting his electors” to gain office, betraying his trust, being in foreign pay, or engaging in “bribery,” “treachery,” or other corruption.\n\nEdmund Randolph said impeachment was needed to guard against a President “abusing his power.” James Madison spoke broadly of impeachment as necessary to protect the people against “negligence” or “perfidy” (dishonesty), warning that a President might “pervert his administration into a scheme of peculation [self-dealing] or oppression” or “betray his trust to a foreign power.” A proposed offense of maladministration was rejected as being too vague and susceptible to political abuse.\n\nFinally, the Constitutional Convention returned to the familiar English common law standard of “high crimes and misdemeanors.” The offense(s) indicated have no precisely settled meaning, yet it means a universally understood, serious apolitical corrupt malpractice or abuse of one's office.\n\nAfter the Convention, to obtain ratification, Alexander Hamilton warned in the Federalists Essays that the “greatest danger” to the new Republic would be attempted impeachment by a single party for its political interest(s) alone.\n\nJeffrey Lea, West Burlington", "set aside or apart for a specific purpose or use .", "cite as an authority ; resort to .", "give a definition for the meaning of a word .", "president has fewer powers than it appears to be , and it is this particuli rement overshadowed by the guide supr to me ayatollah ali khamenei .", "the act of granting rights .", "we can also see that the french philosopher marcel gauchet entitled one recent books democracy against itself .", "On the contrary, the influence of the national democracies decreases by limit always more the right of veto and to give always more capacity to the Parliament of the EU.", "that is the spirit in which must be drawn up the constitution .", "The right for a government to dismiss arbitrarily its constitution is the definition of a characteristic tyranny." ]

The two parties' leaders are to make a statement later Wednesday.\n\n'Huge stretch'\n\nDespite progress to bridge the significant gaps, observers said the new government would face challenges after Kurz's previous rule with the far-right Freedom Party (FPOe) saw a raft of anti-immigration measures passed, sharply dividing Austrians.\n\n\"2020 as a political year of change\" ran the main online headline of the Kurier daily earlier Wednesday.\n\nBoth the OeVP and the Greens will be hard-pressed to show they have not compromised too much on their key principals and campaign promises when they present the joint government programme, which is expected Thursday.\n\n\"From his (Kurz's) perspective, it's a huge stretch and it's also a danger that over time he might lose some of the voters he gained from the Freedom Party,\" analyst Thomas Hofer told AFP.\n\nIn the September polls, the OeVP managed to pick up disenchanted FPOe voters, getting 37.5 percent in total.\n\nThe Greens secured 13.9 percent of the vote, their best-ever result, due to the environment replacing immigration as top concern in the country of 8.8 million people.\n\nTrend setter?\n\nHofer said other European countries, such as Germany, could also see Conservative-Green party coalitions in the future. Sweden, Finland, Lithuania and Luxemburg already have Greens in government.\n\n\"Kurz is setting a certain trend maybe ahead of time, and this is certainly something also on the international stage that he would be able to sell,\" he said.\n\nHofer described Greens chief Werner Kogler, who is expected to be vice-chancellor, as a \"pragmatist\" who had stabilised the party.\n\nThe 58-year-old took on the leadership after the party lost all their parliamentary seats in a shock defeat in 2017, largely due to infighting and splits.\n\nA congress of the party's almost 280 delegates must still endorse the coalition agreement, but they are expected to do so.\n\n\"It's a historical chance for them,\" Hofer said.\n\nAs junior coalition partner, the Greens would get four ministries, including an enlarged environment ministry that also comprises infrastructure, traffic, energy and technology, according to a party representative familiar with the negotiations.\n\nThe OeVP will maintain control of the rest, including the coveted interior ministry -- previously headed by a far-right official and embroiled in scandal -- and the finance portfolio.\n\nGreens official Ewa Ernst-Dziedzic told the Standard daily in an interview that compromises are \"part of democracy\", and that the coalition partners would address challenges rather than \"feign harmony and sweep difficult topics under the carpet\".\n\nThe far-right FPOe -- previously riding a wave of populist sentiment seen across Europe -- was routed in the polls after the so-called \"Ibiza-gate\" graft scandal brought down their then-leader and vice-chancellor in May and caused the government to collapse.\n\n(AFP)", "an area that is approximately central within some larger region .", "\"There's very strong interest in getting money back to the ratepayers as quickly as possible,\" Commissioner Susan Kennedy said.", "Faced with these, the necessity of a greater involvement and greater effectiveness in the fight against poverty and is essential.", "I am in a similar situation.", "\"I think we can now qualify what is happening as a genuine epidemic,\" Health Minister Jean-Francois Mattei said on France Inter radio.", "\" i think we can now qualify what is happening as a genuine epidemic , \" health minister jean-francois mattei said on france inter radio .", "We can indeed want more and better, but quite honestly that I believe this is a good start.", "make more complex , intricate , or richer .", "the second proposal was that regional and international non-proliferation issues should be addressed through dialogue and negotiations.", "france, belgium, germany, sweden, italy and britain provide parts and technology for the advanced light helicopter that india plans to sell to myanmar.", "after talks at nato headquarters baluyevsky repeated russia's opposition to u.s. plans to install antimissile defenses in europe and dismissed u.s. assertions that the interceptors were needed to defend against potential threats from iran.", "devote oneself to a special area of work .", "a group of nations having common interests .", "He said FDA hopes Congress and the courts will bring clarity to the situation and some financial relief to consumers — perhaps before the 2004 elections.", "In Feira, it has recognised the quality of potential candidates for accession to the countries participating in the stabilisation and association process.", "bruguiere stated-- restraining extremist groups particularly across europe was becoming increasingly difficult because of how the groups are financed.", "draw advantages from .", "In view of the criticism, especially those in Ireland and France, the Chancellor of the Exchequer has given a new interpretation: it is now a tax for all users, including the British lorry drivers.", "bring into being .", "So, short form, yes, it probably is different in different countries.", "Full text: China-EU 2020 Strategic Agenda for Cooperation", "a passionate nationalist , mr. d 'alessandro said : \" canada is a small country , and we need more companies like this . \"", "A passionate nationalist, Mr. D'Alessandro said: \"Canada is a small country, and we need more companies like this.\"", ".

That could mean tariffs.\n\nSTEVE INSKEEP, HOST:\n\nWe have a dispatch now from the not-so-United Kingdom (ph). As the U.K. prepares for Brexit, some people in Northern Ireland consider leaving the U.K. to rejoin Ireland to the south. NPR's Frank Langfitt reports from Belfast.\n\nFRANK LANGFITT, BYLINE: Leaving the EU requires Britain to create a new customs border. Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants one that divides Northern Ireland from the rest of the U.K., and that means some Northern Irish businesses will have to pay tariffs on products coming from the rest of the country, which would be a little like a company in California paying tariffs on products from Oregon.\n\n(SOUNDBITE OF MACHINE BUZZING)\n\nLANGFITT: All this has Chris Suitor rethinking how he does business with his homeland. Suitor runs Suitor Brothers. It's a menswear company in Belfast. And because of the new administrative costs, he may stop buying from the U.K. and import all his stock from the south, meaning Ireland and the European Union.\n\nCHRIS SUITOR: I'm a U.K. business. I'm a U.K. citizen. I would love to continue our U.K. relationship. But for the good of the business - if it's tariff-free and admin-free to trade North-South, I will be looking to taking my business there.\n\nLANGFITT: Suitor says Brexit is a setback for a region - or a country, as Northern Ireland is considered inside the United Kingdom - that's been making a comeback since the political violence of the 1980s.\n\nSUITOR: We were in the doldrums, in the dark ages for so long with The Troubles. Now that that's behind us in the past, this little country has flourished. I think that essence is getting lost in this whole Brexit process, which is sad.\n\nLANGFITT: The island of Ireland was partitioned nearly a century ago, dividing the North from the South.\n\n(SOUNDBITE OF EXPLOSION)\n\nLANGFITT: The Troubles pitted Catholic nationalists, who wanted to reunify the island, against Protestant unionists determined to stay a part of the U.K. More than 3,600 people died in the conflict, including 13-year-old Leanne Murray, who was killed by an IRA bomb blast in 1993.\n\n(CROSSTALK)\n\nLANGFITT: Her brother, Gary, was on the Shankill Road, which back then was home to many Protestant gunmen, when he heard the explosion.\n\nGARY MURRAY: So I then run straight back there into the rubble. And I started digging the best way I could, looking for my sister. It was pandemonium. Like, you know, everybody was searching, and nobody could find her.\n\nLANGFITT: If Brexit draws the North into Ireland's economic orbit, Gary Murray worries that people loyal to Britain will take up arms.\n\nMURRAY: It's really frightening people because the way things can turn. Rumors are that trouble can be started all over again. I certainly don't want that after what I've been through.\n\nLANGFITT: What's your greatest fear?\n\nMURRAY: Going back to The Troubles.\n\nLANGFITT: This is Shankill Road. And today, people are out walking around shopping. But every couple of blocks, what's so striking is you see a memorial to the dead from The Troubles. Right now, I'm looking up at a big archway and a big marble stone that says, in memory of five innocent Protestants slaughtered by IRA gunmen who came and blew up and shot up a bar in 1975.\n\n(CROSSTALK)\n\nLANGFITT: Gordon Young (ph) is shooting pool at WAVE Trauma Centre, which supports victims and survivors of the troubles. He says, by backing customs board if it splits the country, Boris Johnson is selling out Northern Ireland.\n\nGORDON YOUNG: The British - the Protestant people will not accept it. The English should be ashamed of themselves for even voting on this thing because we're part of the United Kingdom, and that's where we belong.\n\nLANGFITT: How did you feel when you first heard about the deal personally?\n\nYOUNG: I felt let down completely. I'm a Protestant. I'm a unionist. I believe in the United Kingdom.\n\nLANGFITT: Some people are concerned...\n\nYOUNG: About the Good Friday Agreement?\n\nLANGFITT: Well - and just also about reunification eventually.\n\nYOUNG: No, there won't be no unification, that's one thing for sure. There will be a lot of blood spilt before then.\n\nLANGFITT: The Good Friday Agreement brought peace to Northern Ireland in 1998. And because the North was in both the EU and the United Kingdom, there was no need for a border. Most people in Northern Ireland wanted to keep it that way and voted against Brexit. Duncan Morrow teaches politics at Ulster University in Belfast.\n\nDUNCAN MORROW: The problem of Brexit is that Brexit says we need borders. And borders are the opposite of what the Good Friday Agreement was about.\n\nLANGFITT: Naomi Long leads Northern Ireland's centrist Alliance Party, which draws support from both Catholics and Protestants. She says Brexit has thrust the question of reunifying the island back on the public agenda.\n\nNAOMI LONG: I didn't think I would see a united Ireland in my lifetime. I expected that it would be a generation or two before that Pandora's box was reopened. But Brexit has reopened that prematurely and at a time when, frankly, I don't think our society has matured enough to be able to have rational, logical and peaceful conversations about those issues.\n\nLANGFITT: A poll in September found a slim majority in Northern Ireland supporting reunification. A far larger majority predicted that, a decade from now, a reunification vote would pass.\n\n(APPLAUSE)\n\nLANGFITT: This has fired up Sinn Fein, one of Northern Ireland's largest parties. Once the political arm of the IRA, Sinn Fein is still bent on bringing the two Irelands together, though, now through peaceful means. Sinn Fein's John Finucane - he's the lord mayor of Belfast - spoke about reunification at a recent community meeting.\n\nJOHN FINUCANE: Not only is this possible, but I believe it's inevitable in the time ahead. Brexit is a serious direct threat to Ireland's future, political stability and economic prosperity. These changes require new thinking and a radical and innovative response.\n\nDIANE DODDS: I don't think that that is in any way a realistic prospect in the immediate or near future.\n\nLANGFITT: Diane Dodds is a member of the European Parliament with Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party, which is devoted to staying in the U.K. She says there are big barriers to reunification. For instance, Northern Ireland is one of the U.K.'s poorest regions and relies on more than $13 billion in subsidies from London each year, which, Dodds points out, the Irish government might have to finance.\n\nDODDS: The hit to the Republic of Ireland's economy - were to actually provide the same level for the same levels of services and public services in Northern Ireland - would be just, I think, beyond anything that they could actually manage with.\n\nLANGFITT: Which raises the question, would people in Ireland back reunification once they considered the cost? It's unclear how all of this will play out, but Naomi Long of the Alliance Party isn't optimistic.\n\nLONG: I think we will be a poorer place as a result of Brexit. I think we will be a more unstable place politically. I think that Northern Ireland's future within the U.K. is less certain than it has ever been, certainly in my lifetime.\n\nLANGFITT: All because of a referendum more than three years ago that most people in Northern Ireland voted against.\n\nFrank Langfitt, NPR News, Belfast.\n\n(SOUNDBITE OF RELEASE THE LONG SHIPS' \"TURNED INTO A DEER\")\n\nCopyright © 2019 NPR.

Sherrod Brown (D-OH) has never voted in favor of a trade deal — until now.\n\nOne of Brown’s first votes as a member of Congress was against the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1993. In the decades since, he has railed against the deal arguing that it cost American jobs.\n\n“I voted against every trade agreement since I've been member of the House or Senate, because every trade agreement has been written by corporate interests to enrich executives and stock holders and not for workers,” said Brown.\n\nNow, Brown plans to vote “yes” on the new NAFTA, known as the United States Mexico Canada Agreement or USMCA when the full Senate considers it. He already voted to approve the implementation bill in the Senate Finance Committee last week. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters on Tuesday he expects the full Senate to vote on USMCA by the end of the week.\n\n“I never thought this day would come,” Brown said in an interview with Yahoo Finance. “It happened because...people overwhelmingly understood that the NAFTA was bad for our communities, especially in the industrial Midwest.”\n\nBrown and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) worked together to push for stronger labor provisions in the deal.\n\n“Finally, we saw a chance to renegotiate it and we knew if we stuck together, and together meant all the Democrats put pressure on the president saying, ‘Quit betraying workers. This matters for workers,’ and we succeeded,” said Brown.\n\nDemocratic lawmakers in the House negotiated with United States Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer for months on the deal’s labor, environmental, pharmaceutical and enforcement provisions. Last month, Speaker Pelosi announced a compromise and the House passed the USMCA implementation bill in a landslide vote.\n\n“We went to work and we convinced the president — kicking and screaming — that we needed strong labor enforcement and that this agreement should be centered around workers, not around corporate interests,” said Brown.\n\nBrown pointed to provisions that protect Mexican workers’ rights to form union and measures to ensure Mexico upholds labor standards as key victories in the deal.\n\nHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi of Calif., accompanied by Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee Richard Neal, D-Mass., left, speaks at a news conference to discuss the United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA) trade agreement, Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2019, on Capitol Hill in Washington. (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik) More\n\n“It’ll mean Mexican wages will come up,” Brown said. “Mexican wages will come up so that it will be less attractive for American companies to shut down production in Dayton and move to Mexico.”\n\nSome Democratic opposition\n\nWhile the Senate is expected to approve the deal by a wide margin, some Democratic lawmakers oppose the deal because it doesn’t do enough to fight climate change.\n\n“USMCA’s environmental provisions are insufficient—and by not addressing climate change, the USMCA fails to meet the crises of this moment. Californians know that the climate crisis is already here. Communities across our state have experienced exacerbated fires, storms, floods, and drought, and the devastation will only get worse if we fail to take bold and immediate action to address it,” said Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) in a statement.\n\nHarris voted against the deal in the Senate Budget Committee on Tuesday. Brown has acknowledged the deal isn’t perfect and told Yahoo Finance Congress needs to do a better job of addressing climate change.\n\nThe Trump administration has said it plans to use USMCA as a model for future trade negotiations — so while this the first trade deal to earn Brown’s approval, it may not be the last.\n\n“One of the reasons we fought so hard for this is, we understood if we get this as part of USMCA, it becomes a model for the future.

REUTERS/Simon Dawson Reuters\n\nBy Marc Jones\n\nLONDON (Reuters) - World stock markets began the new year with a shot of Chinese stimulus, ensuring there was no immediate hangover after the wild gains of 2019.\n\nNews that China's central bank was freeing another 800 billion yuan ($115 billion) for its economy came after U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted on Tuesday that a long-awaited trade pact with Beijing would be signed on Jan 15.\n\nThe double lift saw Europe's main markets jump 0.8% to 1.3%, outpacing Asia's overnight gains and putting them on course for their best opening session of a year since 2013.\n\nMSCI's broadest index of world shares added 0.2% to its 24% 2019 surge, which was the fourth best of all time. Higher U.S. futures suggested solid gains on Wall Street too, with S&P 500 e-minis up 0.5%.\n\n\"Over a longer-term horizon, we believe global stocks have greater performance potential than global bonds, supported by continued growth and moderate inflation,\" Franklin Templeton said in its 2020 outlook, although it stressed it remained cautious for now.\n\nAn upward revision to some otherwise gloomy euro zone manufacturing PMI data pushed inflation expectations higher. Germany's 15-year bond yield briefly turned positive for the first time since July.\n\nBond yields tend to drive borrowing costs in the wider economy and their drop last year, as the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank and dozens of other central banks around the world cut interest rates, helped limit an economic slowdown.\n\n\"Although firms grew somewhat more optimistic about the year ahead, a return to growth remains a long way off,\" said Chris Williamson, chief business economist at IHS Markit, which compiles the purchasing manager indices.\n\nNEW YEAR, NEW GEAR?\n\nIn currency markets, the dollar scored its biggest rise against major peers since early November with a 0.33% gain.\n\nThat snapped a six-day losing streak and pushed the euro off five-month highs, though it was in thin trading and followed a 0.4% drop on New Year's Eve, once it became clear there would be no year-end repeat of September's U.S. money market turbulence.\n\nSterling dropped to $1.32 and the euro fell back under $1.12. The Aussie and Kiwi dollars took hits and the Japanese yen was little changed at 108.81 per dollar.\n\nAfter the stimulus shot in Beijing, China's yuan closed at 6.9631, its strongest finish against the dollar since Aug. 2. The offshore yuan also gained after an initial downward move.\n\nThe stimulus -- a cut in banks' reserve requirements -- had been expected before January's Lunar New Year holidays and after Premier Li Keqiang's pledge last month to provide more stimulus.\n\n\"At the end of last year the dollar sold off quite sharply, so we are seeing an easing in some of the dollar selling pressure,\" said Lee Hardman, senior FX strategist at MUFG.\n\n\"The liquidity squeeze didn't materialise so that's contributing to stability in broader financial markets ... But the dollar story has been turning negative in recent months, partly because of action taken by the Fed to ease dollar liquidity,\" Hardman said, referring to the U.S. central bank's balance sheet expansion re-launched in October.\n\nChina's blue-chip CSI300 index, one of the world's best performers last year, rose 1.4%, reaching its highest since Feb. 7, 2018. Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 1.25%.\n\nOil prices rose as tensions in the Middle East fuelled worries about supply. The U.S. military carried out air strikes against an Iran-backed militia this past weekend. Consequently, protesters stormed the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad on Wednesday, then withdrew after the United States deployed extra troops.\n\nU.S. crude was up as much as 0.3% to $61.28 and global benchmark Brent crude rose 0.2% to $66.15 per barrel, building on a rise that gave oil markets their biggest annual gain in three years in 2019.\n\nGold, which had benefited from a weaker dollar, was up 0.4% on the spot market despite the U.S. currency's gains. It last fetched $1,523 per ounce while China-sensitive industrial metal copper climbed towards an eight-month high.\n\n($1 = 6.9633 Chinese yuan renminbi)\n\n(Additional reporting by Sujata Rao in London, editing by Larry King)", "The other point of view, illustrated by the initial matter of the rapporteur and shared per number of Members, consists in promoting the regulations and the codes of conduct necessary to found, between insurers, the forms of mutualisation of the costs guaranteeing to all the supply of an high quality of care and to counter the risks to see developing discriminatory practices and a risk selection and customers.", "Law Minister on Wednesday said state governments have a Constitutional duty to implement laws passed by Parliament and those vowing not to implement the Citizenship Amendment Act should seek appropriate legal opinion.\n\nHe said it was surprising that those who have come to power by taking oath under the Constitution are making \"unconstitutional\" statements.\n\nHis statement came a day after the Kerala assembly passed a resolution urging the Centre to withdraw the amended citizenship law.\n\nPrasad said the government's which claim they would not allow the CAA or are getting resolutions passed against implementing it may seek appropriate legal opinion on constitutional provisions.\n\n\"It is the constitutional duty of the states to implement laws passed by Parliament,\" Prasad told reporters here.\n\nHe said Parliament can make laws on subjects under the Union List which includes citizenship.\n\nTo drive home his point that states cannot oppose laws passed by Parliament, he referred to Clause 2 of Article 245 of the Constitution.\n\n\"Article 245 (clause 2) states that no law made by Parliament shall be deemed to be invalid on the ground that it would have extra-territorial operation,\" he said.\n\nOther states including West Bengal, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan have said they will not implement the amended Citizenship Act.", "The creation of a provisional unit of judicial cooperation is a step in the right direction, which the European Parliament has been striving for a long time.", "You have to much intervention in free markets, not too little.", "draw advantages from .", "Gotta love the EK factoid that \"Iran is also a signed of the NPT and the IAEA.", "It has never been ejaculated on as far as I know.", "Pratt & Whitney had said that if it won the contract 75 per cent of the engine equipment would be outsourced to European suppliers, with final assembly in Germany.", "the act of granting rights .", "The labelling of beef which has been decided, which is a minimum labelling and which has only been in force for two and a half months, does not make it possible to properly remind the origin of the animals and we banned very late specified risk material.", "matter that remains after something has been removed .", "It is not the time to be hesitant.", "SOFIA, January 1. /TASS/.

But in some cases, PPGF redirected contributions from selected charities to other organizations with similar purposes without telling donors. PPGF also failed to adequately disclose that charities that have PayPal accounts can receive donations faster than those that do not.\n\nCharity regulators nationwide joined the effort to investigate PPGF’s fundraising activities, including its disclosures, vetting practices and treatment of charitable contributions. To address the states’ concerns, PPGF agreed to reform its disclosures to ensure that donors know:\n\nThat they are contributing to PPGF\n\nThe timeframe in which a selected charity can receive funds from PPGF\n\nThe implication of being an enrolled charity rather than an unenrolled charity on the PPGF platform\n\nPPGF also agreed to notify donors when it redirects charitable contributions to organizations other than those they selected.

However, Union Minister of Law and Justice Ravi Shankar Prasad on Wednesday pointed out that no state legislature, including that of Kerala, has the power to pass any law with regard to citizenship.\n\nPrasad elaborated that there are some issues which form the Union List or List-I in the Constitution of India. These are the issues on which only the Parliament has the exclusive power to legislate, and therefore, the states have no power to legislate on these matters. \"Citizenship, naturalisation, and aliens are entry 17 on the Union List.

In 2020, the company will no longer take advantage of the so-called “Double Irish” and “Dutch sandwich” loopholes, which allowed it and countless other corporations to shift money from Ireland to the Netherlands and Bermuda, sheltering billions from taxes in the process.\n\nThe move comes as regulations aimed at changing how companies skirt taxes take effect in both the US and Ireland. Previously, multinational organizations like Google were able to use a network of affiliate organizations located in Ireland, the Netherlands, and Bermuda to collect and hold money made overseas, thanks in large part to lenient Irish tax laws.\n\nGoogle used companies in Ireland, the Netherlands, and Bermuda to collect and hold money earned overseas\n\nThe name comes from the strategy of moving money from an Irish subsidiary to a Dutch holding company, and then back to an Irish shell company located in Bermuda that has the rights to license Google intellectual property, thus the “Dutch sandwich” in between. Bermuda has no corporate income tax, making it a lucrative final stop to report income. The whole process effectively avoids paying US income tax and European withholding taxes on overseas profits, although some money is still paid to the Irish government.\n\nIn 2014, facing mounting pressure from the EU and the US, Ireland closed these loopholes. Companies were given until 2020 to comply with the new regulations, which is why Google is just changing its tax structure now. Google continued to use the tax scheme to funnel money around the globe until the deadline. According to Reuters, the company moved $23 billion to Bermuda in 2017 alone using this tax avoidance strategy.\n\nIn the US, the Trump administration has also tried to incentivize companies to return profits to the US by lowering the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2018 allowed companies to return money made overseas to the US without facing more US taxes. These changes could prove critical for Google, which is sitting on tens of billions in overseas earnings.\n\n“We’re now simplifying our corporate structure and will license our IP from the US, not Bermuda,” a Google spokesperson told The Verge. “Including all annual and one-time income taxes over the past ten years, our global effective tax rate has been over 23%, with more than 80% of that tax due in the US.”", "The government doesnt have to declare you married before you can be married.", "government income due to taxation .", "In addition, we would like to be likely to prove in Europe which we are able to develop only the constitutional equality of Serbia and Montenegro within Yugoslavia, by recognizing the true democratic principles.", "Indeed, there is absolutely no doubt that the definition of fair price that is proposed is better than another, because the definitions used in the Member States currently sufficient all amply.", "There are only three options:", "saferworld team leader on transfer controls and small arms roy isbister stated that -- the eu embargo explicitly states that no military equipment should be supplied either directly or indirectly for use in myanmar.", "Especially, when a unipersonal company or a company less cash than 250 paid has a project, it must be possible to be given a financing not only with one guarantee with 120%, but also on the simple basis of an good idea.", "As Brexit Pulls Britain Apart, It Could Bring Ireland Back Together\n\nThe latest proposed Brexit deal is deeply unpopular in Northern Ireland, where it will require a new customs border between the island and the rest of Great Britain. That could mean tariffs.\n\nSTEVE INSKEEP, HOST:\n\nWe have a dispatch now from the not-so-United Kingdom (ph). As the U.K. prepares for Brexit, some people in Northern Ireland consider leaving the U.K. to rejoin Ireland to the south. NPR's Frank Langfitt reports from Belfast.\n\nFRANK LANGFITT, BYLINE: Leaving the EU requires Britain to create a new customs border. Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants one that divides Northern Ireland from the rest of the U.K., and that means some Northern Irish businesses will have to pay tariffs on products coming from the rest of the country, which would be a little like a company in California paying tariffs on products from Oregon.\n\n(SOUNDBITE OF MACHINE BUZZING)\n\nLANGFITT: All this has Chris Suitor rethinking how he does business with his homeland. Suitor runs Suitor Brothers. It's a menswear company in Belfast. And because of the new administrative costs, he may stop buying from the U.K. and import all his stock from the south, meaning Ireland and the European Union.\n\nCHRIS SUITOR: I'm a U.K. business. I'm a U.K. citizen. I would love to continue our U.K. relationship. But for the good of the business - if it's tariff-free and admin-free to trade North-South, I will be looking to taking my business there.\n\nLANGFITT: Suitor says Brexit is a setback for a region - or a country, as Northern Ireland is considered inside the United Kingdom - that's been making a comeback since the political violence of the 1980s.\n\nSUITOR: We were in the doldrums, in the dark ages for so long with The Troubles. Now that that's behind us in the past, this little country has flourished. I think that essence is getting lost in this whole Brexit process, which is sad.\n\nLANGFITT: The island of Ireland was partitioned nearly a century ago, dividing the North from the South.\n\n(SOUNDBITE OF EXPLOSION)\n\nLANGFITT: The Troubles pitted Catholic nationalists, who wanted to reunify the island, against Protestant unionists determined to stay a part of the U.K. More than 3,600 people died in the conflict, including 13-year-old Leanne Murray, who was killed by an IRA bomb blast in 1993.\n\n(CROSSTALK)\n\nLANGFITT: Her brother, Gary, was on the Shankill Road, which back then was home to many Protestant gunmen, when he heard the explosion.\n\nGARY MURRAY: So I then run straight back there into the rubble. And I started digging the best way I could, looking for my sister. It was pandemonium. Like, you know, everybody was searching, and nobody could find her.\n\nLANGFITT: If Brexit draws the North into Ireland's economic orbit, Gary Murray worries that people loyal to Britain will take up arms.\n\nMURRAY: It's really frightening people because the way things can turn. Rumors are that trouble can be started all over again. I certainly don't want that after what I've been through.\n\nLANGFITT: What's your greatest fear?\n\nMURRAY: Going back to The Troubles.\n\nLANGFITT: This is Shankill Road. And today, people are out walking around shopping. But every couple of blocks, what's so striking is you see a memorial to the dead from The Troubles. Right now, I'm looking up at a big archway and a big marble stone that says, in memory of five innocent Protestants slaughtered by IRA gunmen who came and blew up and shot up a bar in 1975.\n\n(CROSSTALK)\n\nLANGFITT: Gordon Young (ph) is shooting pool at WAVE Trauma Centre, which supports victims and survivors of the troubles. He says, by backing customs board if it splits the country, Boris Johnson is selling out Northern Ireland.\n\nGORDON YOUNG: The British - the Protestant people will not accept it. The English should be ashamed of themselves for even voting on this thing because we're part of the United Kingdom, and that's where we belong.\n\nLANGFITT: How did you feel when you first heard about the deal personally?\n\nYOUNG: I felt let down completely. I'm a Protestant. I'm a unionist. I believe in the United Kingdom.\n\nLANGFITT: Some people are concerned...\n\nYOUNG: About the Good Friday Agreement?\n\nLANGFITT: Well - and just also about reunification eventually.\n\nYOUNG: No, there won't be no unification, that's one thing for sure. There will be a lot of blood spilt before then.\n\nLANGFITT: The Good Friday Agreement brought peace to Northern Ireland in 1998. And because the North was in both the EU and the United Kingdom, there was no need for a border. Most people in Northern Ireland wanted to keep it that way and voted against Brexit. Duncan Morrow teaches politics at Ulster University in Belfast.\n\nDUNCAN MORROW: The problem of Brexit is that Brexit says we need borders. And borders are the opposite of what the Good Friday Agreement was about.\n\nLANGFITT: Naomi Long leads Northern Ireland's centrist Alliance Party, which draws support from both Catholics and Protestants. She says Brexit has thrust the question of reunifying the island back on the public agenda.\n\nNAOMI LONG: I didn't think I would see a united Ireland in my lifetime. I expected that it would be a generation or two before that Pandora's box was reopened. But Brexit has reopened that prematurely and at a time when, frankly, I don't think our society has matured enough to be able to have rational, logical and peaceful conversations about those issues.\n\nLANGFITT: A poll in September found a slim majority in Northern Ireland supporting reunification. A far larger majority predicted that, a decade from now, a reunification vote would pass.\n\n(APPLAUSE)\n\nLANGFITT: This has fired up Sinn Fein, one of Northern Ireland's largest parties. Once the political arm of the IRA, Sinn Fein is still bent on bringing the two Irelands together, though, now through peaceful means. Sinn Fein's John Finucane - he's the lord mayor of Belfast - spoke about reunification at a recent community meeting.\n\nJOHN FINUCANE: Not only is this possible, but I believe it's inevitable in the time ahead. Brexit is a serious direct threat to Ireland's future, political stability and economic prosperity. These changes require new thinking and a radical and innovative response.\n\nDIANE DODDS: I don't think that that is in any way a realistic prospect in the immediate or near future.\n\nLANGFITT: Diane Dodds is a member of the European Parliament with Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party, which is devoted to staying in the U.K. She says there are big barriers to reunification. For instance, Northern Ireland is one of the U.K.'s poorest regions and relies on more than $13 billion in subsidies from London each year, which, Dodds points out, the Irish government might have to finance.\n\nDODDS: The hit to the Republic of Ireland's economy - were to actually provide the same level for the same levels of services and public services in Northern Ireland - would be just, I think, beyond anything that they could actually manage with.\n\nLANGFITT: Which raises the question, would people in Ireland back reunification once they considered the cost? It's unclear how all of this will play out, but Naomi Long of the Alliance Party isn't optimistic.\n\nLONG: I think we will be a poorer place as a result of Brexit. I think we will be a more unstable place politically. I think that Northern Ireland's future within the U.K. is less certain than it has ever been, certainly in my lifetime.\n\nLANGFITT: All because of a referendum more than three years ago that most people in Northern Ireland voted against.\n\nFrank Langfitt, NPR News, Belfast.\n\n(SOUNDBITE OF RELEASE THE LONG SHIPS' \"TURNED INTO A DEER\")\n\nCopyright © 2019 NPR.

(REUTERS) Last week, the Turkish president had severely criticised India for the communal clashes in Delhi and even went on to call them “massacres of Muslims”. (REUTERS)\n\nDays after Turkish president criticised Delhi riots, India Thursday hit out at Recep Tayyip Erdogan saying his comments were “factually inaccurate” and driven by “political agenda”. External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar, while addressing a press conference in the national capital Thursday, said India had made a strong demarche on the matter with the Turkish Ambassador in Delhi on Tuesday.\n\n“We do not expect such irresponsible statements from a Head of State,” Kumar was quoted as saying by PTI.\n\nLast week, the Turkish president had severely criticised India for the communal clashes in Delhi and even went on to call them “massacres of Muslims”.\n\nOn being asked UK’s junior foreign minister Nigel Adams’ comment on Delhi violence, Raveesh Kumar said the situation in the capital is fast returning to normal and that law enforcement agencies are doing their best to restore confidence and ensure that law and order is maintained.\n\n“Prime Minister has appealed for peace and brotherhood. Senior officials have visited the place of violence, peace committees have been formed and other steps have been taken in this direction,” he added.\n\nIn response to an urgent question on “Recent Violence in India” tabled by Pakistani-origin Opposition Labour Party MP Khalid Mahmood in the House of Commons on Tuesday, UK’s Minister of State in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) Nigel Adams had said, “The UK government also have concerns about the potential impact of the legislation (CAA).”\n\nEarlier today, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei also said that the Indian government should confront extremist Hindus and stop the ‘massacre’ of Muslims.\n\n“The hearts of Muslims all over the world are grieving over the massacre of Muslims in India. The govt of India should confront extremist Hindus & their parties & stop the massacre of Muslims in order to prevent India’s isolation from the world of Islam,” Khamenei tweeted.\n\nMeanwhile, the death toll in communal violence that broke out in northeast Delhi last month, which was sparked by protests over the amended Citizenship Act, climbed to 53 on Thursday. So far, GTB hospital has confirmed 44 deaths while three deaths have been confirmed at Lok Nayak hospital and five at RML and one at Jag Pravesh.\n\n📣 The Indian Express is now on Telegram.

That could mean tariffs.\n\nSTEVE INSKEEP, HOST:\n\nWe have a dispatch now from the not-so-United Kingdom (ph). As the U.K. prepares for Brexit, some people in Northern Ireland consider leaving the U.K. to rejoin Ireland to the south. NPR's Frank Langfitt reports from Belfast.\n\nFRANK LANGFITT, BYLINE: Leaving the EU requires Britain to create a new customs border. Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants one that divides Northern Ireland from the rest of the U.K., and that means some Northern Irish businesses will have to pay tariffs on products coming from the rest of the country, which would be a little like a company in California paying tariffs on products from Oregon.\n\n(SOUNDBITE OF MACHINE BUZZING)\n\nLANGFITT: All this has Chris Suitor rethinking how he does business with his homeland. Suitor runs Suitor Brothers. It's a menswear company in Belfast. And because of the new administrative costs, he may stop buying from the U.K. and import all his stock from the south, meaning Ireland and the European Union.\n\nCHRIS SUITOR: I'm a U.K. business. I'm a U.K. citizen. I would love to continue our U.K. relationship. But for the good of the business - if it's tariff-free and admin-free to trade North-South, I will be looking to taking my business there.\n\nLANGFITT: Suitor says Brexit is a setback for a region - or a country, as Northern Ireland is considered inside the United Kingdom - that's been making a comeback since the political violence of the 1980s.\n\nSUITOR: We were in the doldrums, in the dark ages for so long with The Troubles. Now that that's behind us in the past, this little country has flourished. I think that essence is getting lost in this whole Brexit process, which is sad.\n\nLANGFITT: The island of Ireland was partitioned nearly a century ago, dividing the North from the South.\n\n(SOUNDBITE OF EXPLOSION)\n\nLANGFITT: The Troubles pitted Catholic nationalists, who wanted to reunify the island, against Protestant unionists determined to stay a part of the U.K. More than 3,600 people died in the conflict, including 13-year-old Leanne Murray, who was killed by an IRA bomb blast in 1993.\n\n(CROSSTALK)\n\nLANGFITT: Her brother, Gary, was on the Shankill Road, which back then was home to many Protestant gunmen, when he heard the explosion.\n\nGARY MURRAY: So I then run straight back there into the rubble. And I started digging the best way I could, looking for my sister. It was pandemonium. Like, you know, everybody was searching, and nobody could find her.\n\nLANGFITT: If Brexit draws the North into Ireland's economic orbit, Gary Murray worries that people loyal to Britain will take up arms.\n\nMURRAY: It's really frightening people because the way things can turn. Rumors are that trouble can be started all over again. I certainly don't want that after what I've been through.\n\nLANGFITT: What's your greatest fear?\n\nMURRAY: Going back to The Troubles.\n\nLANGFITT: This is Shankill Road. And today, people are out walking around shopping. But every couple of blocks, what's so striking is you see a memorial to the dead from The Troubles. Right now, I'm looking up at a big archway and a big marble stone that says, in memory of five innocent Protestants slaughtered by IRA gunmen who came and blew up and shot up a bar in 1975.\n\n(CROSSTALK)\n\nLANGFITT: Gordon Young (ph) is shooting pool at WAVE Trauma Centre, which supports victims and survivors of the troubles. He says, by backing customs board if it splits the country, Boris Johnson is selling out Northern Ireland.\n\nGORDON YOUNG: The British - the Protestant people will not accept it. The English should be ashamed of themselves for even voting on this thing because we're part of the United Kingdom, and that's where we belong.\n\nLANGFITT: How did you feel when you first heard about the deal personally?\n\nYOUNG: I felt let down completely. I'm a Protestant. I'm a unionist. I believe in the United Kingdom.\n\nLANGFITT: Some people are concerned...\n\nYOUNG: About the Good Friday Agreement?\n\nLANGFITT: Well - and just also about reunification eventually.\n\nYOUNG: No, there won't be no unification, that's one thing for sure. There will be a lot of blood spilt before then.\n\nLANGFITT: The Good Friday Agreement brought peace to Northern Ireland in 1998. And because the North was in both the EU and the United Kingdom, there was no need for a border. Most people in Northern Ireland wanted to keep it that way and voted against Brexit. Duncan Morrow teaches politics at Ulster University in Belfast.\n\nDUNCAN MORROW: The problem of Brexit is that Brexit says we need borders. And borders are the opposite of what the Good Friday Agreement was about.\n\nLANGFITT: Naomi Long leads Northern Ireland's centrist Alliance Party, which draws support from both Catholics and Protestants. She says Brexit has thrust the question of reunifying the island back on the public agenda.\n\nNAOMI LONG: I didn't think I would see a united Ireland in my lifetime. I expected that it would be a generation or two before that Pandora's box was reopened. But Brexit has reopened that prematurely and at a time when, frankly, I don't think our society has matured enough to be able to have rational, logical and peaceful conversations about those issues.\n\nLANGFITT: A poll in September found a slim majority in Northern Ireland supporting reunification. A far larger majority predicted that, a decade from now, a reunification vote would pass.\n\n(APPLAUSE)\n\nLANGFITT: This has fired up Sinn Fein, one of Northern Ireland's largest parties. Once the political arm of the IRA, Sinn Fein is still bent on bringing the two Irelands together, though, now through peaceful means. Sinn Fein's John Finucane - he's the lord mayor of Belfast - spoke about reunification at a recent community meeting.\n\nJOHN FINUCANE: Not only is this possible, but I believe it's inevitable in the time ahead. Brexit is a serious direct threat to Ireland's future, political stability and economic prosperity. These changes require new thinking and a radical and innovative response.\n\nDIANE DODDS: I don't think that that is in any way a realistic prospect in the immediate or near future.\n\nLANGFITT: Diane Dodds is a member of the European Parliament with Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party, which is devoted to staying in the U.K. She says there are big barriers to reunification. For instance, Northern Ireland is one of the U.K.'s poorest regions and relies on more than $13 billion in subsidies from London each year, which, Dodds points out, the Irish government might have to finance.\n\nDODDS: The hit to the Republic of Ireland's economy - were to actually provide the same level for the same levels of services and public services in Northern Ireland - would be just, I think, beyond anything that they could actually manage with.\n\nLANGFITT: Which raises the question, would people in Ireland back reunification once they considered the cost? It's unclear how all of this will play out, but Naomi Long of the Alliance Party isn't optimistic.\n\nLONG: I think we will be a poorer place as a result of Brexit. I think we will be a more unstable place politically. I think that Northern Ireland's future within the U.K. is less certain than it has ever been, certainly in my lifetime.\n\nLANGFITT: All because of a referendum more than three years ago that most people in Northern Ireland voted against.\n\nFrank Langfitt, NPR News, Belfast.\n\n(SOUNDBITE OF RELEASE THE LONG SHIPS' \"TURNED INTO A DEER\")\n\nCopyright © 2019 NPR.

Sherrod Brown (D-OH) has never voted in favor of a trade deal — until now.\n\nOne of Brown’s first votes as a member of Congress was against the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1993. In the decades since, he has railed against the deal arguing that it cost American jobs.\n\n“I voted against every trade agreement since I've been member of the House or Senate, because every trade agreement has been written by corporate interests to enrich executives and stock holders and not for workers,” said Brown.\n\nNow, Brown plans to vote “yes” on the new NAFTA, known as the United States Mexico Canada Agreement or USMCA when the full Senate considers it. He already voted to approve the implementation bill in the Senate Finance Committee last week. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters on Tuesday he expects the full Senate to vote on USMCA by the end of the week.\n\n“I never thought this day would come,” Brown said in an interview with Yahoo Finance. “It happened because...people overwhelmingly understood that the NAFTA was bad for our communities, especially in the industrial Midwest.”\n\nBrown and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) worked together to push for stronger labor provisions in the deal.\n\n“Finally, we saw a chance to renegotiate it and we knew if we stuck together, and together meant all the Democrats put pressure on the president saying, ‘Quit betraying workers. This matters for workers,’ and we succeeded,” said Brown.\n\nDemocratic lawmakers in the House negotiated with United States Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer for months on the deal’s labor, environmental, pharmaceutical and enforcement provisions. Last month, Speaker Pelosi announced a compromise and the House passed the USMCA implementation bill in a landslide vote.\n\n“We went to work and we convinced the president — kicking and screaming — that we needed strong labor enforcement and that this agreement should be centered around workers, not around corporate interests,” said Brown.\n\nBrown pointed to provisions that protect Mexican workers’ rights to form union and measures to ensure Mexico upholds labor standards as key victories in the deal.\n\nHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi of Calif., accompanied by Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee Richard Neal, D-Mass., left, speaks at a news conference to discuss the United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA) trade agreement, Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2019, on Capitol Hill in Washington. (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik) More\n\n“It’ll mean Mexican wages will come up,” Brown said. “Mexican wages will come up so that it will be less attractive for American companies to shut down production in Dayton and move to Mexico.”\n\nSome Democratic opposition\n\nWhile the Senate is expected to approve the deal by a wide margin, some Democratic lawmakers oppose the deal because it doesn’t do enough to fight climate change.\n\n“USMCA’s environmental provisions are insufficient—and by not addressing climate change, the USMCA fails to meet the crises of this moment. Californians know that the climate crisis is already here. Communities across our state have experienced exacerbated fires, storms, floods, and drought, and the devastation will only get worse if we fail to take bold and immediate action to address it,” said Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) in a statement.\n\nHarris voted against the deal in the Senate Budget Committee on Tuesday. Brown has acknowledged the deal isn’t perfect and told Yahoo Finance Congress needs to do a better job of addressing climate change.\n\nThe Trump administration has said it plans to use USMCA as a model for future trade negotiations — so while this the first trade deal to earn Brown’s approval, it may not be the last.\n\n“One of the reasons we fought so hard for this is, we understood if we get this as part of USMCA, it becomes a model for the future. That strong enforceable labor standards, environmental standards, doing the right thing on access to medicines —that can be the core of any trade agreements,” he said. “And then over time, we'll see trade agreements work in a way that companies are much less likely to outsource jobs from the United States overseas.”\n\nStill, his support for USMCA doesn’t mean he’ll necessarily get behind the Phase 1 deal with China, which was signed on Wednesday.

That could mean tariffs.\n\nSTEVE INSKEEP, HOST:\n\nWe have a dispatch now from the not-so-United Kingdom (ph). As the U.K. prepares for Brexit, some people in Northern Ireland consider leaving the U.K. to rejoin Ireland to the south. NPR's Frank Langfitt reports from Belfast.\n\nFRANK LANGFITT, BYLINE: Leaving the EU requires Britain to create a new customs border. Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants one that divides Northern Ireland from the rest of the U.K., and that means some Northern Irish businesses will have to pay tariffs on products coming from the rest of the country, which would be a little like a company in California paying tariffs on products from Oregon.\n\n(SOUNDBITE OF MACHINE BUZZING)\n\nLANGFITT: All this has Chris Suitor rethinking how he does business with his homeland. Suitor runs Suitor Brothers. It's a menswear company in Belfast. And because of the new administrative costs, he may stop buying from the U.K. and import all his stock from the south, meaning Ireland and the European Union.\n\nCHRIS SUITOR: I'm a U.K. business. I'm a U.K. citizen. I would love to continue our U.K. relationship. But for the good of the business - if it's tariff-free and admin-free to trade North-South, I will be looking to taking my business there.\n\nLANGFITT: Suitor says Brexit is a setback for a region - or a country, as Northern Ireland is considered inside the United Kingdom - that's been making a comeback since the political violence of the 1980s.\n\nSUITOR: We were in the doldrums, in the dark ages for so long with The Troubles. Now that that's behind us in the past, this little country has flourished. I think that essence is getting lost in this whole Brexit process, which is sad.\n\nLANGFITT: The island of Ireland was partitioned nearly a century ago, dividing the North from the South.\n\n(SOUNDBITE OF EXPLOSION)\n\nLANGFITT: The Troubles pitted Catholic nationalists, who wanted to reunify the island, against Protestant unionists determined to stay a part of the U.K. More than 3,600 people died in the conflict, including 13-year-old Leanne Murray, who was killed by an IRA bomb blast in 1993.\n\n(CROSSTALK)\n\nLANGFITT: Her brother, Gary, was on the Shankill Road, which back then was home to many Protestant gunmen, when he heard the explosion.\n\nGARY MURRAY: So I then run straight back there into the rubble. And I started digging the best way I could, looking for my sister. It was pandemonium. Like, you know, everybody was searching, and nobody could find her.\n\nLANGFITT: If Brexit draws the North into Ireland's economic orbit, Gary Murray worries that people loyal to Britain will take up arms.\n\nMURRAY: It's really frightening people because the way things can turn. Rumors are that trouble can be started all over again. I certainly don't want that after what I've been through.\n\nLANGFITT: What's your greatest fear?\n\nMURRAY: Going back to The Troubles.\n\nLANGFITT: This is Shankill Road. And today, people are out walking around shopping. But every couple of blocks, what's so striking is you see a memorial to the dead from The Troubles. Right now, I'm looking up at a big archway and a big marble stone that says, in memory of five innocent Protestants slaughtered by IRA gunmen who came and blew up and shot up a bar in 1975.\n\n(CROSSTALK)\n\nLANGFITT: Gordon Young (ph) is shooting pool at WAVE Trauma Centre, which supports victims and survivors of the troubles. He says, by backing customs board if it splits the country, Boris Johnson is selling out Northern Ireland.\n\nGORDON YOUNG: The British - the Protestant people will not accept it. The English should be ashamed of themselves for even voting on this thing because we're part of the United Kingdom, and that's where we belong.\n\nLANGFITT: How did you feel when you first heard about the deal personally?\n\nYOUNG: I felt let down completely. I'm a Protestant. I'm a unionist. I believe in the United Kingdom.\n\nLANGFITT: Some people are concerned...\n\nYOUNG: About the Good Friday Agreement?\n\nLANGFITT: Well - and just also about reunification eventually.\n\nYOUNG: No, there won't be no unification, that's one thing for sure. There will be a lot of blood spilt before then.\n\nLANGFITT: The Good Friday Agreement brought peace to Northern Ireland in 1998. And because the North was in both the EU and the United Kingdom, there was no need for a border. Most people in Northern Ireland wanted to keep it that way and voted against Brexit. Duncan Morrow teaches politics at Ulster University in Belfast.\n\nDUNCAN MORROW: The problem of Brexit is that Brexit says we need borders. And borders are the opposite of what the Good Friday Agreement was about.\n\nLANGFITT: Naomi Long leads Northern Ireland's centrist Alliance Party, which draws support from both Catholics and Protestants. She says Brexit has thrust the question of reunifying the island back on the public agenda.\n\nNAOMI LONG: I didn't think I would see a united Ireland in my lifetime. I expected that it would be a generation or two before that Pandora's box was reopened. But Brexit has reopened that prematurely and at a time when, frankly, I don't think our society has matured enough to be able to have rational, logical and peaceful conversations about those issues.\n\nLANGFITT: A poll in September found a slim majority in Northern Ireland supporting reunification. A far larger majority predicted that, a decade from now, a reunification vote would pass.\n\n(APPLAUSE)\n\nLANGFITT: This has fired up Sinn Fein, one of Northern Ireland's largest parties. Once the political arm of the IRA, Sinn Fein is still bent on bringing the two Irelands together, though, now through peaceful means. Sinn Fein's John Finucane - he's the lord mayor of Belfast - spoke about reunification at a recent community meeting.\n\nJOHN FINUCANE: Not only is this possible, but I believe it's inevitable in the time ahead. Brexit is a serious direct threat to Ireland's future, political stability and economic prosperity. These changes require new thinking and a radical and innovative response.\n\nDIANE DODDS: I don't think that that is in any way a realistic prospect in the immediate or near future.\n\nLANGFITT: Diane Dodds is a member of the European Parliament with Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party, which is devoted to staying in the U.K. She says there are big barriers to reunification. For instance, Northern Ireland is one of the U.K.'s poorest regions and relies on more than $13 billion in subsidies from London each year, which, Dodds points out, the Irish government might have to finance.\n\nDODDS: The hit to the Republic of Ireland's economy - were to actually provide the same level for the same levels of services and public services in Northern Ireland - would be just, I think, beyond anything that they could actually manage with.\n\nLANGFITT: Which raises the question, would people in Ireland back reunification once they considered the cost? It's unclear how all of this will play out, but Naomi Long of the Alliance Party isn't optimistic.\n\nLONG: I think we will be a poorer place as a result of Brexit. I think we will be a more unstable place politically. I think that Northern Ireland's future within the U.K. is less certain than it has ever been, certainly in my lifetime.\n\nLANGFITT: All because of a referendum more than three years ago that most people in Northern Ireland voted against.\n\nFrank Langfitt, NPR News, Belfast.\n\n(SOUNDBITE OF RELEASE THE LONG SHIPS' \"TURNED INTO A DEER\")\n\nCopyright © 2019 NPR.

James Cadigan says officers responded to complaints alleging the woman was not self-isolating for 14 days, as required under the Public Health Protection and Promotion Act. Cadigan says officers spoke to the woman and arrested her for failing to comply with the law, which could lead to a fine between $500 and $2,500 and a jail sentence of up to six months. The police spokesman confirmed a public reporting system introduced on the weekend has received more than 400 complaints from people reporting suspected contraventions of health directives. Cadigan says police have resolved 27 complaints by contacting the person and educating them about the measures, but in the Corner Brook case the woman was not compliant and was held in a jail cell overnight.“If you’re going to put our community at risk, we will follow up on those measures,” Cadigan said.

Susan Collins of Maine says she’s open to calling witnesses as part of the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, but she says it is “premature” to decide who should be called until senators see the evidence that is presented.\n\nCollins also said it was inappropriate for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican, to pledge “total coordination” between the White House and the Senate during the impeachment trial.\n\n“It is inappropriate, in my judgment, for senators on either side of the aisle to prejudge the evidence before they have heard what is presented to us,” Collins told Maine Public Radio in an interview Monday.\n\nSenators take an oath to render impartial justice during impeachment — an oath lawmakers should take seriously, Collins said.\n\nCollins, who is running for reelection and is considered one of the nation’s most vulnerable GOP senators, also faulted Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts for saying Trump should be found guilty and removed from office.\n\n“There are senators on both sides of the aisle, who, to me, are not giving the appearance of and the reality of judging that’s in an impartial way,” she said.\n\nCollins is the second Republican senator to criticize McConnell, who recently told Fox News he would be working “in total coordination with the White House counsel’s office and the people who are representing the president” during impeachment.\n\nAlaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski said last week that she was “disturbed” by McConnell’s comments, adding that there should be distance between the White House and the Senate in how the trial is conducted.\n\n“To me, it means that we have to take that step back from being hand in glove with the defense, and so I heard what Leader McConnell had said, I happened to think that that has further confused the process,” Murkowski said.\n\nThe remarks by the GOP senators come as Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer hailed as a “game changer” a news report detailing the role of White House officials in withholding aid to Ukraine, a key element of the impeachment effort.\n\nThe New York Times reported new details about efforts by acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and other officials to cut off the aid to Ukraine. Senate Democrats are seeking to call Mulvaney and three other White House officials as witnesses in the impeachment trial.\n\n“Simply put: In our fight to have key documents and witnesses in a Senate impeachment trial, these new revelations are a game changer,” Schumer said. ”Will the Senate hold a fair trial, or will it enable a cover-up?”\n\nMcConnell said last week that he is not ruling out calling witnesses in Trump’s impeachment trial, but he indicated he was in no hurry to seek new testimony.\n\nCopyright 2019 The Associated Press.

Read more: https://zd.net/2GGv83H\n\nPresident Trump this week signed the TRACED Act, the first federal law designed to curb unwanted robocalls. With the problem of robocalls running rampant, the legislation passed with strong support in both the Democratic-led House and the Republican-led Senate.\n\nThe legislation takes on the problem from multiple fronts. First, it gives the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) more authority to go after the scammers responsible for unwanted robocalls. It allows the FCC to go after scammers the first time they break the law and extends the statute of limitations by up to four years in some cases. It also ups the financial penalties against robocallers.\n\nAdditionally, it encourages stronger Justice Department criminal prosecution of unlawful robocalls by requiring the FCC to provide the DOJ with evidence of criminal robocall violations.\n\nNext, the law requires all carriers to eventually implement new technologies to authenticate caller-ID information, preventing call spoofing -- at no additional line-item cost to consumers. As Congress notes in its summary of the law, many illegal robocalls use call spoofing so the call appears to be coming from a trusted number.\n\nThe FCC is already planning to mandate that carriers implement its SHAKEN/STIR authentication system to help combat robocalls. In March, AT&T and Comcast announced that they successfully tested the first SHAKEN/STIR-authenticated call between two different telecom networks.\n\nMeanwhile, the law additionally says consumers should also get access to robocall blocking at no additional line item charge on their bill.\n\nThe law also requires the FCC to put new limits on robocalls that are legal, even without consumer consent -- such as calls from financial institutions regarding potentially fraudulent transactions. Specifically, the law calls for new limits on the kinds of organizations that may make such calls, who can receive such calls and the number of calls allowed under the exemption.\n\nThe TRACE Act also clarifies that when a person gets a new phone number, robocallers cannot keep calling to look for the person previously had that number.\n\nIt also requires the FCC to work to stop one-ring scams and helps the FCC and carriers trace back the origin of unlawful robocalls.\n\nThe law passed in the House earlier this month by a vote of 417 to 3, and it passed in the Senate by voice vote.\n\nDuring the legislative debate, Congress put out a white paper with data on the extent of the robocall problem: In 2018, there were an estimated 48 billion robocalls, up over 64 percent since 2016, according to YouMail. Meanwhile, First Orion predicts that this year 44.6 percent of all calls to mobile phones will be scam calls.\n\nIn a statement, the cloud communications company Twilio said the legislation should have a notable impact: \"The law will aid efforts among law enforcement authorities, government agencies and the communications industry to stop the bad calls and restore consumers' faith that they will receive the calls they want. With its strong emphasis on the implementation of the SHAKEN/STIR protocol and consumer protection efforts, we expect to see a dramatic change in the robocall landscape in the next 12 to 18 months.\"", "RALEIGH, N.C. — The federal judge who blocked the newest version of North Carolina's voter identification law cited the state's \"sordid history of racial discrimination and voter suppression\" as she ordered officials not to enforce the law in 2020.\n\nU.S. District Court Judge Loretta Biggs' decision was released Tuesday and prevents North Carolina from requiring voters to provide identification starting in 2020. The Republican leaders of the state House and Senate, however, have asked North Carolina's Department of Justice to appeal.\n\nThe federal court advised last week that Biggs would formally block the photo ID requirement until a lawsuit filed by state NAACP and others is resolved. Her decision provided insight into why she blocked the law, which she said was similar to a 2013 law that a federal appeals court struck down in 2016.\n\nThat court said the photo ID and other voter restrictions were approved with intentional racial discrimination in mind, and Biggs said the newest version of the law was no different in that respect.\n\n\"North Carolina has a sordid history of racial discrimination and voter suppression stretching back to the time of slavery, through the era of Jim Crow, and, crucially, continuing up to the present day,\" Biggs wrote.\n\nLegislators received a breakdown of voter behavior by race before passing the 2016 law and used that data to target African American voters, the court wrote in striking down that law. The defendants said there's no evidence of similar behavior before the most recent voter ID law.\n\nBut the same key lawmakers championed both bills, Biggs wrote. \" ... they need not had racial data in hand to still have it in mind,\" the ruling says.\n\nThe approval of the new version, known as S.B. 824, was \"procedurally unobjectional,\" Biggs wrote. But its closeness in time to the previous version; the fact that many of the same legislators were involved in both bills; the use of \"unconstitutionally gerrymandered maps\" and other issues \"indicate that something was amiss,\" she wrote.\n\nThe legislative history of the bill, including statements from its supporters, show that \"rather than trying to cleanse the discriminatory taint\" imbued in the previous voter ID law, lawmakers tried to circumvent state and federal courts, she wrote.\n\nThe photo ID law would have been effective with the March 3 primary. But the requirement would have been put into motion sooner than that with mail-in absentee voters, who also would have had to provide an ID copy.\n\nThe Rev. T. Anthony Spearman, president of the North Carolina conference of the NAACP, said he was \"overjoyed\" by Biggs' decision.\n\n\"Quite frankly, tears are coming to my eyes as I read the decision,\" he said. Biggs' \"strong language is so appropriate\" as the nation approaches the 2020 elections, Spearman said.\n\n\"I hope it is something that will encourage people who have not exercised their right to vote to cast their votes,\" he said.\n\nAfter losing one court battle over voter ID, Republicans put a question on the November 2018 ballot enshrining voter ID in the state constitution. The amendment passed with 55% of the vote. The legislature approved a separate law in December 2018 detailing how to implement that amendment. Legal challenges were filed almost immediately.\n\nGOP legislators said they had to enact an ID law because voters had approved one. But Biggs, who was appointed to the bench in 2014 by then-President Barack Obama, said the constitutional amendment was a cover for legislators that allowed them to present themselves as \"faithful servants whose hands were tied.\"\n\nThe argument that lawmakers had to pass this particular bill falls short, she wrote. \"While the legislature may had to pass some form of photo voter-ID law, it did not have to enact one which suffers from impermissible defects,\" she wrote.\n\nThe law did allow for more types of IDs to be used and allowed voters to get a free ID card or fill out a form explaining their \"reasonable impediment\" to obtaining one.\n\nBut legislators rejected an amendment allowing the use of public assistance IDs, which Biggs described as \"particularly suspect.\"\n\nRepublican legislators have urged the state DOJ to seek a stay of the temporary injunction, saying Biggs' ruling was \"inappropriate.\"\n\nTheir attorneys sent a letter Monday saying it's \"imperative that you seek a stay of Judge Biggs' injunction immediately to avoid irreparable harm to the state.\"\n\nA state DOJ spokeswoman didn't respond to an email seeking comment on the lawmakers' request.", "Just as the European Court of Human Rights, the Council of Europe has also considerable experience with regard to these forms of control; we can take as a basis.", "cancel , annul , or reverse an action or its effect .", "Business News of Friday, 21 February 2020\n\nSource: classfmonline.com\n\n2020-02-21\n\nAkufo-Addo, Prez Ghana\n\nPresident Nana Akufo-Addo has said Ghana, “for the first time in over 40 years”, has maintained “a fiscal deficit below five per cent of GDP for three years in a row”.\n\nDelivering his State of the Nation Address to a one-sided Parliament on Thursday, 20 February 2020, Mr Akufo-Addo also said “in three years, we have reduced inflation to its lowest level (7.8% in January 2020) since 1992”.\n\n“For the first time in over 20 years, the balance of trade (that is the difference between our exports and imports) has been in surplus for three (3) consecutive years.\n\n“Our current account deficit is shrinking, interest rates are declining, and the average annual rate of depreciation of the cedi is at its lowest for any first term government in the Fourth Republic.\n\n“Our economic growth has rebounded to place Ghana among the fastest growing economies in the world for three years in a row at an annual average of 7%, up from 3.4% in 2016, the lowest in nearly three decades”, the President said.\n\nAccording to him, the international community has taken note of his government’s performance, “resulting in Ghana, today, being the largest recipient of foreign direct investment in West Africa”.\n\n“The sovereign credit ratings agencies have upgraded our ratings, and also improved the outlook for this year, notwithstanding the fact that it is an election year.\n\n“This is a massive vote of confidence in the current management of the economy, as best illustrated by Ghana’s successful issue of the longest-dated Eurobond ever issued by a sub-Saharan African country, with investors placing fifteen billion United States dollars ($15 billion) of orders for Ghana’s forty-one (41) year Eurobond.\n\n“The seven (7) year Bond attracted the lowest coupon rates ever for Ghana at six point three-seven-five percent (6.375%), compared with the nine point two-five percent (9.25%) Ghana had to pay for a similar Eurobond issue in 2016.

This legendary man now faces a mighty challenge -- and the sad news of his illness reminds us of the fortitude so many brought to the civil rights struggle and the somber reality that we are slowly losing the generation that defeated Jim Crow segregation in America.\n\nPeniel Joseph\n\nEvery generation that passes into history takes with it vital institutional memory that indelibly shapes contemporary notions of citizenship, freedom and democracy. Lewis' generation has done this in momentous ways. Beyond the quest for voting rights and struggles to end Jim Crow in public schools and neighborhoods lay the undiscovered country of full citizenship for everyone from semi-literate sharecroppers in the Mississippi Delta to the unjustly incarcerated in big cities across America.\n\nThe life and legacy of John Lewis encompasses the complex relationship between race and citizenship in America. The outpouring of love, support and concern that greeted the news of the congressman's medical diagnosis should be refracted though the lens of our own tumultuous time: an era marked by racial divisions, a democracy in peril and the alarming frequency of violence such as mass shootings and police killings of unarmed black people.\n\nIn the age of Donald Trump, the possible loss of a statesman such as John Lewis matters more than ever. In that sense the nation now finds itself lamenting the potential loss of its best self, the side of the national character purposeful enough to believe that sacrifice inevitably led to democratic renewal and reinvigorated moral purpose.\n\nJUST WATCHED Rep.

Holding onto the articles is the only leverage Pelosi has on McConnell, who says he won’t take up USMCA until after any impeachment trial.\n\n“This is working beautifully for her, and for the country,” says Norm Ornstein, a political scientist and resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. “In the weeks since the House voted for Impeachment, there have been more damning emails, and there’s no reason to believe we have seen the end of it.”\n\nDelaying the trial allows more evidence of wrongdoing by the president and his allies to surface and potentially sway public opinion and perhaps even some Senate Republicans.\n\nAfter the House voted the articles, the conventional wisdom was that Democrats needed the Senate to act quickly so a trial would conclude before the 2020 primaries got underway. That thinking has now shifted. “A trial at some point is almost inevitable,” says Ornstein. “But I don’t see any reason to push it forward as long as Democrats have the upper hand.”\n\nPushed for a time limit, Ornstein told The Daily Beast that he thinks Pelosi can extend through February, “keeping all options open,” he said. “In moments of this kind, my lodestar is whatever Pelosi does is best.”\n\nTom Mann with the Brookings Institution and co-author with Ornstein of the 2012 book about Congress, It’s Even Worse Than It Looks, said in an email that he’s “sure Pelosi is adjusting her cost/benefit analysis and consulting widely every day. McConnell’s outrageous behavior gives her cover to stretch this out to force genuine consultations on rules and witnesses for the trial. If and when she finds the political costs are likely to outweigh the benefits, she will refer the articles to the Senate. But not until then.”\n\nMcConnell calls himself “the Grim Reaper,” gleefully letting House-passed legislation on health care, voting rights and gun safety languish indefinitely. Yet he stands ready to act expeditiously on impeachment, working in “total coordination” with the White House to mount a sham trial to exonerate the president.\n\nTime is on Pelosi’s side, for now. The latest revelations about key officials around Trump who were in the loop on Ukraine indicate that many of them knew what they were doing was wrong. “Facing disapproval, humiliation, and possible jail time, it’s almost inevitable some will talk,” says Ornstein.\n\n“ The calculation now is that Trump wants the Senate trial to be over with as quickly as possible so he can spend 2020 touting his exoneration. ”\n\nThere is far more pressure now on Trump to get the exoneration he seeks from the Senate than on the Democrats to move the process along before the Iowa caucuses. Pelosi has leverage to seek concessions about rules and witnesses. “McConnell is impervious to pressure unless there’s something McConnell wants,” says John Lawrence, Pelosi’s former chief of staff. He cites the recent year-end $1.4 trillion federal spending bill that explodes the deficit and includes more than $1 billion in special grants for Kentucky. “McConnell got billions for Kentucky, he always does,” says Lawrence. “When he wants something, he makes deals.”\n\nThe calculation now is that Trump wants the Senate trial to be over with as quickly as possible so he can spend 2020 touting his exoneration. Dragging it out increases the risk of more potentially damaging information emerging, which in turn could prompt more people to come forward with what they know.\n\nThe likelihood of a Senate conviction to remove Trump from office remains extremely low. “The question isn’t whether or not a Senate trial will be held. It will, and we all know how it will turn out,” says Jonah Blank, a former Senate staffer on the Democratic side. “The question is much narrower: Will a delayed time frame force swing-state Republicans into votes that will hurt them in 2020 or a future election?” There are at least two such GOP senators, and arguably as many as five or six.\n\nPelosi is in no rush. She can wait until McConnell sends her a set of rules, and then there will be some back-and-forth as both sides claim victory. She followed the historic procedure of inviting Trump to deliver the State of the Union on Feb. 4, when he could still be in the midst of impeachment. He won’t be the first president to give a SOTU while being impeached. In 1999, President Clinton focused on a sound economy and a $70 billion budget surplus. He did not mention impeachment.\n\nWith Pelosi seated directly behind him in the House chamber, millions of Americans will tune in to watch the dynamics between these two political figures on what promises to be yet another historic evening for the country—and one that could set a tone for the rest of this incredibly important year.", "Impeachment is a solemn process that impacts the American nation like no other political issue. At its core, the impeachment of a president is about determining whether that individual is fit to serve in the highest office of the land.\n\nIt is deliberately walled off from the question of that individual’s political appeal or public support. This is because, when drafting the American Constitution, its founding fathers inserted provisions to ensure that monarchical rule is never extended over the United States again. During the impeachment process, the House of Representatives conducts an inquiry of, drafts, debates, and then passes Articles of Impeachment. The US Senate then acts as a jury of those articles, conducting a trial overseen by the leader of the third branch of government – the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court – ultimately deciding whether to remove the president from office or not.\n\nThe House voted to impeach President Donald Trump for obstruction of Congress and abuse of power over his dealings with Ukraine, making him the third American president to be impeached. Soon, impeachment will be in the hands of the Senate. Embedded in the constitutional process of impeachment is an understanding that members of Congress, once elected, belong to the governing bodies in which they are serving and not to their own political parties. That is the burden of being an elected official – one must serve the entire country and honour his or her oath to the constitution.\n\nSenators from the Republican Party, however, have already indicated that they will approach impeachment along partisan lines. Leading Senate Republicans such as Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham have pre-emptively stated that they would seek to cut the impeachment trial short and acquit the president.\n\nUnfortunately, corruption of the impeachment process is surprisingly simple. There are no forcing mechanisms to require senators to be objective jurors. They must voluntarily choose to put their country first and to honour their constitutional oath. Nothing legally compels them to do so – just their integrity.\n\nFrom an overall political perspective, impeachment is a net negative for President Trump. A Fox News poll reports that 54 percent of registered American voters support impeachment and 50 percent support his removal from office. But this may not be enough to move the Senate, where 53 of the 100 Senators are Republicans and 67 votes are required to remove Trump. Many Republicans ultimately see their political fates tied to the president’s – in effect, choosing their political fortunes over their oaths to the constitution and the institutions in which they serve.\n\nYet, there is still a chance that some Republicans may not hold the partisan line, especially those who represent swing states, who are retiring, or who have already spoken out critically of Trump, such as Senators Mitt Romney (Utah), Cory Gardner (Colorado), Susan Collins (Maine), Lamar Alexander (Tennessee), Mike Enzi (Wyoming), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), and Martha McSally (Arizona).\n\nSetting the rules for the Senate trial is the next phase of the debate. These rules will define the procedures that will guide the trial, including determining whether there will be witnesses, whether more information from the White House will be sought, and the amount of time scheduled for debate. Senate Majority Leader McConnell will need 51 senators to support him, meaning that any three defecting Republicans can prevent his rules from taking effect. Currently, the pro-Trump camp is calling for limiting the number of direct witnesses to the president’s Ukraine moves. They also seek to make the process as short as possible.\n\nYet adding to the drama are the calculations of both Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi – they are trying to push McConnell to call witnesses and have a fair Senate trial. Specifically, Schumer is seeking testimony from direct advisers to and witnesses of the president, such as acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and former National Security Advisor John Bolton.\n\nThus, the internal Republican fight will be over whether to have witnesses at the Senate trial, with Democratic pressure coming from both inside and outside the Senate Chamber. What is only guaranteed is that when the Articles are sent over to the Senate by the House, that the chief justice will call for them to be presented by the House prosecutors, and then for the president’s team to rebut the charges against him.\n\nThe downside risk for Trump right now is that if the Republican senators decide to limit the Senate trial, they will permanently stain Trump’s reputation, as acquittal will be perceived as more an act of political loyalty than justice. Questions about Trump’s behaviour will never be publicly aired and answered, and instead will be buried under the Republican desire to hide the testimony of direct witnesses who could exculpate the president.\n\nSenate Republicans would be doing him no favour, as Trump would emerge deeply discredited in the eyes of a majority of Americans. Instead of being seen as innocent and vindicated, the president would be seen as protected and damaged. And Americans who support removal will see the country’s constitutional order threatened by a president who is no longer required to adhere to any rules.\n\nHowever, if some Republicans decide to hold their integrity above partisanship and make sure that witnesses are called to the trial, the potential exists for everything to change.\n\nThere have been moments in American congressional history where one witness has changed everything. Take for example the McCarthy Red-Scare hearings of 1954, when witness Joseph Welch confronted Senator Joseph McCarthy, stating “have you no sense of decency?” in front of a nationally televised audience. That line was unexpected, and it destroyed not only McCarthy’s crusade but also his career.\n\nThis is what the pro-Trump camp is most afraid of and will do anything to prevent from happening. Ultimately, regardless of what happens in the Senate, Trump will be damaged by the impeachment process. Either he gets acquitted by the Senate after an open trial with witnesses and still carries the label of “impeached”, or he gets acquitted without a fair trial and is seen as politically protected and above the law.\n\nAnd looming, just ever so slightly, remains the prospect of him still suffering the political death penalty and getting removed from office, the first time ever for a president in American history.\n\nComments", "The Conference Board said its measure of business confidence, which had fallen to 53 in the first quarter of 2003, improved to 60 in the most recent second quarter.", "I would also have liked to see the report of the Court of Auditors a little more user-friendly and if he had presented a few clear recommendations - for example, one or two recommendations by chapter.", "An Ohio law that bans a controversial late-term abortion procedure is constitutionally acceptable and the state can enforce it, a federal appeals court ruled yesterday.", "I would like to thank the rapporteur of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security and Defence Policy, Mr Brok, for his clear and comprehensive report.", "Mr President, I voted in favour of the Garcia-Margallo y Marfil report, which deals with the taxation of services provided electronically.", "‘Case doesn’t merit any explanation’\n\nALLAHABAD: A five-judge bench of Allahabad HC on Monday ruled it's not mandatory to approach the sessions court first, before moving the HC for anticipatory bail.The bench comprising Chief Justice Govind Mathur , Justice Ramesh Sinha , Justice Sunita Agarwal, Justice Yashwant Verma and Justice Rahul Chaturvedi observed, \"Section 438 of CrPC does not mandate or require an individual to be relegated to the sessions court before being granted the right of audience before high court.\" Now, a person can directly move HC and file an anticipatory bail plea.

That could mean tariffs.\n\nSTEVE INSKEEP, HOST:\n\nWe have a dispatch now from the not-so-United Kingdom (ph). As the U.K. prepares for Brexit, some people in Northern Ireland consider leaving the U.K. to rejoin Ireland to the south. NPR's Frank Langfitt reports from Belfast.\n\nFRANK LANGFITT, BYLINE: Leaving the EU requires Britain to create a new customs border. Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants one that divides Northern Ireland from the rest of the U.K., and that means some Northern Irish businesses will have to pay tariffs on products coming from the rest of the country, which would be a little like a company in California paying tariffs on products from Oregon.\n\n(SOUNDBITE OF MACHINE BUZZING)\n\nLANGFITT: All this has Chris Suitor rethinking how he does business with his homeland. Suitor runs Suitor Brothers. It's a menswear company in Belfast. And because of the new administrative costs, he may stop buying from the U.K. and import all his stock from the south, meaning Ireland and the European Union.\n\nCHRIS SUITOR: I'm a U.K. business. I'm a U.K. citizen. I would love to continue our U.K. relationship. But for the good of the business - if it's tariff-free and admin-free to trade North-South, I will be looking to taking my business there.\n\nLANGFITT: Suitor says Brexit is a setback for a region - or a country, as Northern Ireland is considered inside the United Kingdom - that's been making a comeback since the political violence of the 1980s.\n\nSUITOR: We were in the doldrums, in the dark ages for so long with The Troubles. Now that that's behind us in the past, this little country has flourished. I think that essence is getting lost in this whole Brexit process, which is sad.\n\nLANGFITT: The island of Ireland was partitioned nearly a century ago, dividing the North from the South.\n\n(SOUNDBITE OF EXPLOSION)\n\nLANGFITT: The Troubles pitted Catholic nationalists, who wanted to reunify the island, against Protestant unionists determined to stay a part of the U.K. More than 3,600 people died in the conflict, including 13-year-old Leanne Murray, who was killed by an IRA bomb blast in 1993.\n\n(CROSSTALK)\n\nLANGFITT: Her brother, Gary, was on the Shankill Road, which back then was home to many Protestant gunmen, when he heard the explosion.\n\nGARY MURRAY: So I then run straight back there into the rubble. And I started digging the best way I could, looking for my sister. It was pandemonium. Like, you know, everybody was searching, and nobody could find her.\n\nLANGFITT: If Brexit draws the North into Ireland's economic orbit, Gary Murray worries that people loyal to Britain will take up arms.\n\nMURRAY: It's really frightening people because the way things can turn. Rumors are that trouble can be started all over again. I certainly don't want that after what I've been through.\n\nLANGFITT: What's your greatest fear?\n\nMURRAY: Going back to The Troubles.\n\nLANGFITT: This is Shankill Road. And today, people are out walking around shopping. But every couple of blocks, what's so striking is you see a memorial to the dead from The Troubles. Right now, I'm looking up at a big archway and a big marble stone that says, in memory of five innocent Protestants slaughtered by IRA gunmen who came and blew up and shot up a bar in 1975.\n\n(CROSSTALK)\n\nLANGFITT: Gordon Young (ph) is shooting pool at WAVE Trauma Centre, which supports victims and survivors of the troubles. He says, by backing customs board if it splits the country, Boris Johnson is selling out Northern Ireland.\n\nGORDON YOUNG: The British - the Protestant people will not accept it. The English should be ashamed of themselves for even voting on this thing because we're part of the United Kingdom, and that's where we belong.\n\nLANGFITT: How did you feel when you first heard about the deal personally?\n\nYOUNG: I felt let down completely. I'm a Protestant. I'm a unionist. I believe in the United Kingdom.\n\nLANGFITT: Some people are concerned...\n\nYOUNG: About the Good Friday Agreement?\n\nLANGFITT: Well - and just also about reunification eventually.\n\nYOUNG: No, there won't be no unification, that's one thing for sure. There will be a lot of blood spilt before then.\n\nLANGFITT: The Good Friday Agreement brought peace to Northern Ireland in 1998. And because the North was in both the EU and the United Kingdom, there was no need for a border. Most people in Northern Ireland wanted to keep it that way and voted against Brexit. Duncan Morrow teaches politics at Ulster University in Belfast.\n\nDUNCAN MORROW: The problem of Brexit is that Brexit says we need borders. And borders are the opposite of what the Good Friday Agreement was about.\n\nLANGFITT: Naomi Long leads Northern Ireland's centrist Alliance Party, which draws support from both Catholics and Protestants. She says Brexit has thrust the question of reunifying the island back on the public agenda.\n\nNAOMI LONG: I didn't think I would see a united Ireland in my lifetime. I expected that it would be a generation or two before that Pandora's box was reopened. But Brexit has reopened that prematurely and at a time when, frankly, I don't think our society has matured enough to be able to have rational, logical and peaceful conversations about those issues.\n\nLANGFITT: A poll in September found a slim majority in Northern Ireland supporting reunification. A far larger majority predicted that, a decade from now, a reunification vote would pass.\n\n(APPLAUSE)\n\nLANGFITT: This has fired up Sinn Fein, one of Northern Ireland's largest parties. Once the political arm of the IRA, Sinn Fein is still bent on bringing the two Irelands together, though, now through peaceful means. Sinn Fein's John Finucane - he's the lord mayor of Belfast - spoke about reunification at a recent community meeting.\n\nJOHN FINUCANE: Not only is this possible, but I believe it's inevitable in the time ahead. Brexit is a serious direct threat to Ireland's future, political stability and economic prosperity. These changes require new thinking and a radical and innovative response.\n\nDIANE DODDS: I don't think that that is in any way a realistic prospect in the immediate or near future.\n\nLANGFITT: Diane Dodds is a member of the European Parliament with Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party, which is devoted to staying in the U.K. She says there are big barriers to reunification. For instance, Northern Ireland is one of the U.K.'s poorest regions and relies on more than $13 billion in subsidies from London each year, which, Dodds points out, the Irish government might have to finance.\n\nDODDS: The hit to the Republic of Ireland's economy - were to actually provide the same level for the same levels of services and public services in Northern Ireland - would be just, I think, beyond anything that they could actually manage with.\n\nLANGFITT: Which raises the question, would people in Ireland back reunification once they considered the cost? It's unclear how all of this will play out, but Naomi Long of the Alliance Party isn't optimistic.\n\nLONG: I think we will be a poorer place as a result of Brexit. I think we will be a more unstable place politically. I think that Northern Ireland's future within the U.K. is less certain than it has ever been, certainly in my lifetime.\n\nLANGFITT: All because of a referendum more than three years ago that most people in Northern Ireland voted against.\n\nFrank Langfitt, NPR News, Belfast.\n\n(SOUNDBITE OF RELEASE THE LONG SHIPS' \"TURNED INTO A DEER\")\n\nCopyright © 2019 NPR.

(REUTERS) Last week, the Turkish president had severely criticised India for the communal clashes in Delhi and even went on to call them “massacres of Muslims”. (REUTERS)\n\nDays after Turkish president criticised Delhi riots, India Thursday hit out at Recep Tayyip Erdogan saying his comments were “factually inaccurate” and driven by “political agenda”. External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar, while addressing a press conference in the national capital Thursday, said India had made a strong demarche on the matter with the Turkish Ambassador in Delhi on Tuesday.\n\n“We do not expect such irresponsible statements from a Head of State,” Kumar was quoted as saying by PTI.\n\nLast week, the Turkish president had severely criticised India for the communal clashes in Delhi and even went on to call them “massacres of Muslims”.\n\nOn being asked UK’s junior foreign minister Nigel Adams’ comment on Delhi violence, Raveesh Kumar said the situation in the capital is fast returning to normal and that law enforcement agencies are doing their best to restore confidence and ensure that law and order is maintained.\n\n“Prime Minister has appealed for peace and brotherhood. Senior officials have visited the place of violence, peace committees have been formed and other steps have been taken in this direction,” he added.\n\nIn response to an urgent question on “Recent Violence in India” tabled by Pakistani-origin Opposition Labour Party MP Khalid Mahmood in the House of Commons on Tuesday, UK’s Minister of State in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) Nigel Adams had said, “The UK government also have concerns about the potential impact of the legislation (CAA).”\n\nEarlier today, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei also said that the Indian government should confront extremist Hindus and stop the ‘massacre’ of Muslims.\n\n“The hearts of Muslims all over the world are grieving over the massacre of Muslims in India.

We cannot win the fight against terrorism if we do nothing to reduce or eliminate poverty and illiteracy.\"\n\n\"In this new decade, we must start to do things differently if we are honest about our desire for a better and prosperous future.

We should clear up most slots by Tuesday, Wednesday,” said Hari Menon, chief executive of BigBasket, which is now delivering orders in all top cities including Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. However, due to a backlog in orders and some operational issues the company is selectively opening new slots, he said.Gurugram-based Grofers, which was unable to operate in several cities for a few days, following the announcement of the lockdown, has begun operations at 90% of its warehouses with half its delivery partners equipped with all relevant official permissions.For customers there will be “longer delivery times,” Rohit Sharma, head of supply chain at Grofers, told ET.As factories closed and trucking companies faced stoppages at state borders, deliveries to consumers — both online and at offline stores — have been delayed, company executives said.B2B technology platforms like Jumbotail and Udaan are of the view that the disruption will settle in a few days as policymakers and businesses collaborate.To ease this situation, the ministry of home affairs in its revised guidelines on Sunday said that transportation of all goods, and not just essential goods would be allowed.Ecommerce firms welcomed the change, saying it would allow for faster movement of essential goods and let them bring non-essentials stuck in transit safely into their warehouses.An ongoing consumer survey by community platform LocalCircles on the availability of essential goods through both offline and online stores shows a gradual improvement in the last two days.Shortages of essentials were most severe on March 25 and 26, the survey showed, with perceptible improvement in availability at both kiranas, offline stores and online retailers during March 27 and 28.“Keeping the small format retail store opened 24/7 is the key to ensure that everyone gets enough essential supply. Today about 50-70% of them are open but not all the time,” said Ashish Jhina, cofounder of Jumbotail.Ecommerce companies also continue to service orders for essentials, but delivery timelines remain stretched.“We continue to resume services gradually, adding in more cities as we get the necessary clearances and passes from the local authorities. We are first serving existing orders for essential products and accepting new orders for these items only,” an Amazon spokesperson told ET.A senior executive at a leading ecommerce firm said while inter-state truck movement had begun, companies are facing challenges of managing stock within fulfilment centres.“The bottleneck will move from trucks to fulfilment centres. It’s not ideal, but the government has been supportive, and we are slowly limping back,” the person said. “I won’t say back to normal, I don’t think it’ll get back to normal during this time, but things are certainly moving.”Snapdeal, Paytm Mall and Shopclues are also delivering essentials. “We have started intracity deliveries of food and grocery items in Delhi-NCR, including in Gurugram,” a Snapdeal spokesperson said.", "The African Continental Free Trade Area will test the capacity for African leadership to build consensus in translating policy to practice, according to Dr Njeri Mwagiru, senior Futurist for Africa at the Institute for Futures Research.\n\nThe Institute for Futures (IFR) is a strategic foresight and advisory institute of Stellenbosch University.\n\nWhile the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCTFA) is geared to lower the costs and enhance the ease of doing business in Africa - the issue of migration, borders and customs will demand delicate negotiation and resolution, says Mwagiru.\n\n\"At social levels, while the slogan of one Africa is catching within the political economy, at community level issues of xenophobia, ethnic rivalry and anti-migrant sentiments continue to be rife.\n\n\"Social animosity tends to intersect with economic relations, and competitive rivalry between groups can hamper economic integration, with defensive stances interfering with conducive business interactions,\" she says.\n\nThat is why she feels the narrative of cooperation implied in AfCFTA will require deeper rooting within diverse social and economic relations. Furthermore, other critical limiting aspects, are the gaps in continental infrastructure - a key cornerstone of fluid systems of trade, according to Mwagiru.\n\nFin24 previously reported that the agreement to implement AfCFTA was only reached in July 2019, following Nigeria's decision to join. If it is fully implemented, 90% of tariffs should be be eliminated in five years. There could be a delay of up to 10 years for least-developed countries. Intra-African trade accounts for only 18% of total African trade. The UN Economic Commission for Africa estimates that AfCFTA's implementation could double intra-African trade by 2030.\n\nTariffs not the only barrier to African Continental Free Trade Agreement - expert\n\nDelegates at the World Economic Forum on Africa in September 2019 also heard that, when it comes to successfully implementing a free trade plan across Africa, it will take more than just having heads of state sign an agreement.\n\nThe first commitments to the agreement were already made by some African countries in March of 2018. At the time President Cyril Ramaphosa said the free trade plan would preset an opportunity to generate growth through trade.\n\n\"The potential for businesses, economies and societies to benefit from this emerging policy environment is exciting, and equally, the challenges remain stark,\" says Mwagiru.\n\n\"The road to combined prosperity heralded by this historical agreement, is riddled with policy potholes, probable political diversions, and operational blind spots that may present notable risks for the journey towards economic integration.\"\n\nThat is why she regards the AfCFTA as an ambitious initiative to unite African economic potential on a joint path towards prosperity, since the aim is to consolidate a market of over 1 billion people, across 55 African states, with a combined GDP of over US$2 tr.\n\n\"The next steps will involve among others, building the policy implementation frameworks, and institutionalising the norms, procedures, and rules of the continental free trade area,\" says Mwagiru.\n\n\"In loosening historical shackles that have tied African economies to benefitting imperialist relations, the AfCFTA is a commendable commitment of African states to boost intra-continental trade and African market growth.\"\n\nUnprecedented challenges to global trade, freight conference hears\n\nAt the same time, she points out that the wide spectrum of economic performance levels across African states is a further challenge on the free trade road, \"with hints that more mature economies will have an advantage over those that are small and less diversified\".\n\n\"The mapped road is riddled with challenges and is not straightforward or smooth. The unfolding steps will reveal whether opportunity can be translated into shared prosperity,\" says Mwagiru.\n\n*", "make a logical or causal connection .", "put under the control and authority of a

euphoria over the European Central Bank's announcement of stimulus measures faded amid worries about the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. The European Central Bank or ECB said it will buy 750 billion euro in bonds through 2020 to help support the European economy amid the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\n\n\nThe Australian market opened higher despite the overnight sell-off on Wall Street as investors went bargain hunting in early trading ahead of anticipated stimulus measures by the Reserve Bank of Australia later in the day.\n\n\n\nHowever, the market erased its initial gains in volatile trading and slipped into negative territory amid a series of corporate earnings warnings due to the COVID-19 spread.\n\n\n\nThe benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index is declining 20.00 points or 0.40 percent to 4,933.20, after rising to a high of 5,102.50 earlier. The broader All Ordinaries Index is losing 40.90 points or 0.82 percent to 4,957.90.\n\n\n\nIn the oil space, Oil Search is falling more than 10 percent, while Woodside Petroleum and Santos are losing more than 5 percent each after crude oil prices crashed to an eighteen-year low overnight.\n\n\n\nGold miners are also sharply lower after safe-haven gold prices lost 3 percent overnight. Evolution Mining is tumbling almost 8 percent and Newcrest Mining is losing more than 7 percent.\n\n\n\nIn the banking space, Commonwealth Bank is rising almost 3 percent, while Westpac is up 0.3 percent, ANZ Banking is adding 0.2 percent and National Australia Bank is edging up 0.1 percent.\n\n\n\nAmong the major miners, Rio Tinto is gaining more than 9 percent, Fortescue Metals is higher by more than 8 percent and BHP is rising more than 3 percent.\n\n\n\nQantas Airways said it is suspending all international flights, delaying an interim payout of A$201 million, and standing down two-thirds of its workforce until the end of May due to the escalating COVID-19 pandemic. The airline's shares are falling more than 10 percent.\n\n\n\nMore companies, including Nine Entertainment, Adairs and BlueScope Steel, have withdrawn their earnings guidance due to the uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. Homewares trader Adairs is tumbling more than 21 percent and Media giant Nine Entertainment is losing almost 8 percent, while BlueScope Steel is rising more than 6 percent.\n\n\n\nIn economic news, the RBA is expected to announce another 25 basis point reduction in the cash rate and a quantitative easing program later today.\n\n\n\nThe Australian Bureau of Statistics said that the jobless rate in Australia came in at a seasonally adjusted 5.1 percent in February, beneath expectations for 5.3 percent, which would have been unchanged from the January reading.\n\n\n\nThe Australian economy added 26,700 jobs last month, beating forecasts for an increase of 6,300 jobs following the gain of 13,500 jobs in January.\n\n\n\nIn the currency market, the Australian dollar is lower against the U.S. dollar on Thursday. The local unit was quoted at $0.5779, down from $0.5998 on Wednesday.\n\n\n\nThe Japanese market opened higher after the European Central Bank announced a 750 billion euros bond-buying program to combat the impact of the coronavirus outbreak. However, the market slipped into negative territory as mounting fears of a global recession due to the COVID-19 pandemic offset optimism about the ECB stimulus.\n\n\n\nThe benchmark Nikkei 225 Index is declining 63.91 points or 0.38 percent to 16,662.64, after climbing to a high of 17,160.97 in early trades.

That was shy of expectations for an increase of 0.5 percent and was down from 0.7 percent in January.\n\n\n\nCore CPI, which excludes volatile food prices, rose 0.6 percent - in line with forecasts and down from 0.8 percent in the previous month.\n\n\n\nJapan will also see January results for its all industry activity index today.\n\n\n\nIn the currency market, the U.S. dollar is trading in the upper 108 yen-range on Thursday.\n\n\n\nElsewhere in Asia, South Korea is falling more than 7 percent, Taiwan is tumbling almost 7 percent, Indonesia is losing more than 5 percent, and Hong Kong is lower by almost 5 percent.\n\n\n\nAlso, Singapore is down almost 4 percent, while New Zealand and Malaysia are declining more than 2 percent.

The U.K.'s FTSE 100 Index plunged by 4.1 percent, while the German DAX Index and the French CAC 40 Index plummeted by 5.6 percent and 5.9 percent, respectively.\n\n\n\nCrude oil prices crashed to their lowest level in about eighteen years on Wednesday as growing worries about an imminent recession due to the coronavirus outbreak raised concerns about global energy demand. WTI crude for April ended down $6.58 or 24 percent at $20.37 a barrel, the lowest settlement price since February 2002.\n\n\n\nCopyright RTT News/dpa-AFX", "Finally, and this is a most controversial issue, the Commission has called vigorously to use the fast-track procedure to implement this legislation.", "The recent turnaround in the stock market and an easing in unemployment claims \"may signal more favorable economic times ahead,\" she said.", "resolution 1540 requires all countries to adopt laws to prevent non-state actors from manufacturing, acquiring or trafficking in nuclear, biological or chemical weapons, the materials to make them, and the missiles and other systems to deliver them.", "- (ES) Mr President, enlargement is essential for the construction of a strong and unified European continent.", "If we create a clear framework and binding on the Member States, the various systems to meet these requirements should have a longer period test.", "Nirvana is NOT oblivion.", "Indeed, there is absolutely no doubt that the definition of fair price that is proposed is better than another, because the definitions used in the Member States currently sufficient all amply.", "Madam the President, I ask you, in the name of my colleagues in the Committee on Fisheries and in my proper name, to send a message of sympathy on behalf of the Parliament to the families of the victims and to the local authorities both of Brittany and of Marín, town of Galicia, from where are originating the majority in the victims.", "a group of nations having common interests .", "the ministers from china, laos, india, myanmar and thailand will discuss how to find markets for goods produced under crop substitution and other related programs such as eco-tourism and handicraft manufacturing.", "Eurozone unemployment hits record high", "I stress this because the market cannot regulate everything and that, in this sense, there cannot be any competition without limits.", "It is a development of this type which I hope in the other States of the European Union.", "waste on the question of the alstom group would have serious repercussions in europe and not only for the policies on competition .", "saferworld team leader on transfer controls and small arms roy isbister stated that -- the eu embargo explicitly states that no military equipment should be supplied either directly or indirectly for use in myanmar.", "It must be the true brain coordination of the network of national agencies, which, in turn, must activate and coordinate a network of centres of excellence of food safety at regional level.", "The mood of the market turned quickly at the end of last year.

Photo / Getty Images\n\nThe 2010s were a turbulent, transformative and testing time for the global economy but there was not a recession.\n\nThat is extremely rare. In fact, it is the first decade in the post-world war II era without a downturn in the UK and US.\n\nA year ago many economists thought the global economy would be crawling over the line into the 2020s and would suffer a recession soon after.\n\nREAD MORE:\n\n• 'Indicators are flashing red': Warning signs recession is looming\n\n• A recession will come, but how bad will it be?\n\n• Jared Bernstein: Just how likely is a recession?\n\n• Experts warn the next recession will be 'worse than the Great Depression' and predict it will hit US within two years\n\nThe trade war had escalated at a frightening pace, Brexit was in deadlock, global factories were heading into a deep industrial recession and central banks appeared to be oblivious to the threat of a downturn. The market's most-trusted recession signal - the US Treasury yield curve - then flashed red, predicting one within 24 months.\n\nBut the mood on markets has turned on a pinhead.\n\nAn ageing, and in some parts of the world record-long, economic cycle appears to have been given a shot in the arm. City forecasters have pencilled a slight acceleration in global growth from 2019's post-financial crisis low of 3pc to 3.1pc this year and 3.2pc in 2021. What changed?\n\nThe headwinds that threatened to tip the world into the next economic crisis have waned substantially. The US and China have reached an agreement for a \"phase one\" trade deal, potentially putting a pause on the protectionist wave sweeping the globe.\n\nBoris Johnson's decisive victory in the election will not only get his Brexit deal over the line but gives him more wriggle room in the next stage of negotiations.\n\nAnd crucially central banks have moved from tightening financial conditions to cutting interest rates and ploughing more money into markets.\n\nThe Federal Reserve, the US central bank, cut borrowing costs three times this year and moved from reversing quantitative easing - its bond-buying programme - to expanding its balance sheet again. The European Central Bank has also extended its experimental policies to revive growth, cutting rates deeper into negative territory and restarting its QE programme after an ill-conceived attempt to end it a year ago.\n\nWhile many economists fret central banks will now not have the firepower to fight a recession if one does strike, the latest burst of stimulus has catapulted stock markets to new record highs. Global stocks have followed their worst year since the financial crisis in 2018 with their best, gaining 25 per cent last year.\n\nBut with growth still languishing at post-crisis lows, are investors sleepwalking into the next recession?\n\nMost Wall Street analysts have predicted that the US-China breakthrough and the Fed's policy U-turn will be enough to stave off recession.\n\nThe US became the focus of recession jitters earlier this year given its importance to global growth. When America sneezes, the rest of the world still catches a cold - even as economic powers in the east rise.\n\nHowever, Philip Marey, Rabobank's senior US strategist, warns the euphoria on markets over the trade deal has been \"overdone\", predicting the US will enter a recession in the second half of this year.\n\nThe deal struck by Beijing and the Trump administration picks the low-hanging fruit of agricultural products and rolling back tariffs but fails to tackle the key sticking points between the two countries, such as intellectual property.\n\nMarey also argues that business investment remains low and the slack left in the US economy - the resources of an economy not being used - is very small, capping the room for growth. A key risk is that business worries feed through into the jobs market and hit the confidence of consumers, whose spending accounts for around 70 per cent of US GDP.\n\nMore rate cuts from the Fed would not be able to support growth further, he argues.\n\n\"It is really ineffective in supporting business investment and that is where the real bottleneck is at the moment,\" he says.\n\n\"For businesses, interest rates are low anyway so that is not their main concern.\"\n\nThe US election in November will start to come into focus for investors, generating another source of uncertainty for businesses.\n\nSigns of a recession brewing in the US could severely dent Donald Trump's chances given the strong economy is seen as stopping his approval rating sliding any lower.\n\nFour more years of Trump will increase the risk of another trade standoff but some of his Democratic challengers are equally problematic for businesses and investors.\n\nBernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren - who are currently polling in second and third place ahead of the Democratic primaries - are two leftist populists with plans to radically redistribute wealth and take on Wall Street.\n\nCiti global chief economist Catherine Mann says uncertainty from trade and politics \"matters for the global economy\".\n\n\"The several risks that have been weighing on the global outlook have not dissipated, and there is a non-small probability that these intensify in 2020.\"\n\nWhile most investment banks believe the threat of an immediate downturn has been pushed back, she warns that the \"risk of recession still does loom over the economy\".\n\nThe relief from a prolonged and economically damaging period of uncertainty in the UK could also be brief.\n\nEven with the Brexit deadlock broken, economists expect growth in the UK to be tepid again this year, slowing further from around 1.3 to 1.1 per cent.\n\nWith the prime minister insisting on a final trade deal with the EU being agreed before the end of the year, more uncertainty could plague businesses and the UK economy. No-deal Brexit worries could return in the second half of the year.\n\nBerenberg UK economist Kallum Pickering is more optimistic, predicting that growth will hit 1.8 per cent this year after being boosted by the fiscal stimulus promised by the Conservatives.\n\n\"An orderly Brexit can lift confidence and spending in the next two years after more than three years of heightened uncertainty and gradually softening momentum,\" he says.\n\nEconomists expect much of the business investment lost over the last three years to return but estimates of how much can be lured back vary from around a quarter to a half. Some of the investment will be lost forever, however.\n\nTorsten Bell, chief executive of think tank the Resolution Foundation, warns that Britain's buoyant jobs market could turn in 2020. This could weaken the economic boost provided by record employment levels and shoppers enjoying their biggest pay rises since the last recession.\n\n\"Our best guess is that 2020 will be very different from the last few years,\" Bell says. \"We may well see a welcome return to record pay levels, but a less welcome retreat from record employment, with worrying signs including falling vacancies and rising youth unemployment.\"\n\nMeanwhile the eurozone economy is expected to be weighed down again by Germany in 2020, with the impotent ECB unable to provide much stimulus and Northern European governments refusing to boost spending.\n\nChina, which has been hit hardest in the industrial recession triggered by the trade war, is also expected to slow further. City forecasters are predicting its growth will sink below the symbolic 6 per cent mark despite Beijing's huge fiscal and monetary stimulus efforts to pep up the economy.\n\nWhile most economists believe a recession will now be avoided in 2020, the ability of policymakers and central bankers to revive growth is severely limited, if one does strike.\n\nThe world economy is facing at the very least a prolonged period of stubbornly slow growth that will be difficult to escape.\n\n- Telegraph", "This House but also fought so that this reduction in funds allocated to the innovative actions is offset by the use of framework of flexibility, as defined in a statement on the financial perspective.", "That is what we have done: we avoided a budgetary crisis back to Article 272, the financial perspective has been maintained, even if we use the flexibility instrument.", "allow to have .", "As requested by the European Parliament in its resolution of 16 March 2000, that these initiatives the presidency of the European Council is going to take to play a more active role in order to ensure the full implementation of the UN peace plan?", "By withdrawing our resolution, I am nevertheless convinced that our Parliament would have done better to its voice heard by spending, for the Council of Nice, a resolution specific and separate with so important and so difficult issues to the Intergovernmental Conference, rather than to deal with them in the context of a single resolution including also all the other items on the agenda of the Council.", "\"IT is the only vehicle on which established economies will be able to compete\" with fast-growing economies such as China and India, Barrett said.", "As Brexit Pulls Britain Apart, It Could Bring Ireland Back Together\n\nThe latest proposed Brexit deal is deeply unpopular in Northern Ireland, where it will require a new customs border between the island and the rest of Great Britain. That could mean tariffs.\n\nSTEVE INSKEEP, HOST:\n\nWe have a dispatch now from the not-so-United Kingdom (ph). As the U.K. prepares for Brexit, some people in Northern Ireland consider leaving the U.K. to rejoin Ireland to the south. NPR's Frank Langfitt reports from Belfast.\n\nFRANK LANGFITT, BYLINE: Leaving the EU requires Britain to create a new customs border. Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants one that divides Northern Ireland from the rest of the U.K., and that means some Northern Irish businesses will have to pay tariffs on products coming from the rest of the country, which would be a little like a company in California paying tariffs on products from Oregon.\n\n(SOUNDBITE OF MACHINE BUZZING)\n\nLANGFITT: All this has Chris Suitor rethinking how he does business with his homeland. Suitor runs Suitor Brothers. It's a menswear company in Belfast. And because of the new administrative costs, he may stop buying from the U.K. and import all his stock from the south, meaning Ireland and the European Union.\n\nCHRIS SUITOR: I'm a U.K. business. I'm a U.K. citizen. I would love to continue our U.K. relationship. But for the good of the business - if it's tariff-free and admin-free to trade North-South, I will be looking to taking my business there.\n\nLANGFITT: Suitor says Brexit is a setback for a region - or a country, as Northern Ireland is considered inside the United Kingdom - that's been making a comeback since the political violence of the 1980s.\n\nSUITOR: We were in the doldrums, in the dark ages for so long with The Troubles. Now that that's behind us in the past, this little country has flourished. I think that essence is getting lost in this whole Brexit process, which is sad.\n\nLANGFITT: The island of Ireland was partitioned nearly a century ago, dividing the North from the South.\n\n(SOUNDBITE OF EXPLOSION)\n\nLANGFITT: The Troubles pitted Catholic nationalists, who wanted to reunify the island, against Protestant unionists determined to stay a part of the U.K. More than 3,600 people died in the conflict, including 13-year-old Leanne Murray, who was killed by an IRA bomb blast in 1993.\n\n(CROSSTALK)\n\nLANGFITT: Her brother, Gary, was on the Shankill Road, which back then was home to many Protestant gunmen, when he heard the explosion.\n\nGARY MURRAY: So I then run straight back there into the rubble. And I started digging the best way I could, looking for my sister. It was pandemonium. Like, you know, everybody was searching, and nobody could find her.\n\nLANGFITT: If Brexit draws the North into Ireland's economic orbit, Gary Murray worries that people loyal to Britain will take up arms.\n\nMURRAY: It's really frightening people because the way things can turn. Rumors are that trouble can be started all over again. I certainly don't want that after what I've been through.\n\nLANGFITT: What's your greatest fear?\n\nMURRAY: Going back to The Troubles.\n\nLANGFITT: This is Shankill Road. And today, people are out walking around shopping. But every couple of blocks, what's so striking is you see a memorial to the dead from The Troubles. Right now, I'm looking up at a big archway and a big marble stone that says, in memory of five innocent Protestants slaughtered by IRA gunmen who came and blew up and shot up a bar in 1975.\n\n(CROSSTALK)\n\nLANGFITT: Gordon Young (ph) is shooting pool at WAVE Trauma Centre, which supports victims and survivors of the troubles. He says, by backing customs board if it splits the country, Boris Johnson is selling out Northern Ireland.\n\nGORDON YOUNG: The British - the Protestant people will not accept it. The English should be ashamed of themselves for even voting on this thing because we're part of the United Kingdom, and that's where we belong.\n\nLANGFITT: How did you feel when you first heard about the deal personally?\n\nYOUNG: I felt let down completely. I'm a Protestant. I'm a unionist. I believe in the United Kingdom.\n\nLANGFITT: Some people are concerned...\n\nYOUNG: About the Good Friday Agreement?\n\nLANGFITT: Well - and just also about reunification eventually.\n\nYOUNG: No, there won't be no unification, that's one thing for sure. There will be a lot of blood spilt before then.\n\nLANGFITT: The Good Friday Agreement brought peace to Northern Ireland in 1998. And because the North was in both the EU and the United Kingdom, there was no need for a border. Most people in Northern Ireland wanted to keep it that way and voted against Brexit. Duncan Morrow teaches politics at Ulster University in Belfast.\n\nDUNCAN MORROW: The problem of Brexit is that Brexit says we need borders. And borders are the opposite of what the Good Friday Agreement was about.\n\nLANGFITT: Naomi Long leads Northern Ireland's centrist Alliance Party, which draws support from both Catholics and Protestants. She says Brexit has thrust the question of reunifying the island back on the public agenda.\n\nNAOMI LONG: I didn't think I would see a united Ireland in my lifetime. I expected that it would be a generation or two before that Pandora's box was reopened. But Brexit has reopened that prematurely and at a time when, frankly, I don't think our society has matured enough to be able to have rational, logical and peaceful conversations about those issues.\n\nLANGFITT: A poll in September found a slim majority in Northern Ireland supporting reunification. A far larger majority predicted that, a decade from now, a reunification vote would pass.\n\n(APPLAUSE)\n\nLANGFITT: This has fired up Sinn Fein, one of Northern Ireland's largest parties. Once the political arm of the IRA, Sinn Fein is still bent on bringing the two Irelands together, though, now through peaceful means. Sinn Fein's John Finucane - he's the lord mayor of Belfast - spoke about reunification at a recent community meeting.\n\nJOHN FINUCANE: Not only is this possible, but I believe it's inevitable in the time ahead. Brexit is a serious direct threat to Ireland's future, political stability and economic prosperity. These changes require new thinking and a radical and innovative response.\n\nDIANE DODDS: I don't think that that is in any way a realistic prospect in the immediate or near future.\n\nLANGFITT: Diane Dodds is a member of the European Parliament with Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party, which is devoted to staying in the U.K. She says there are big barriers to reunification. For instance, Northern Ireland is one of the U.K.'s poorest regions and relies on more than $13 billion in subsidies from London each year, which, Dodds points out, the Irish government might have to finance.\n\nDODDS: The hit to the Republic of Ireland's economy - were to actually provide the same level for the same levels of services and public services in Northern Ireland - would be just, I think, beyond anything that they could actually manage with.\n\nLANGFITT: Which raises the question, would people in Ireland back reunification once they considered the cost? It's unclear how all of this will play out, but Naomi Long of the Alliance Party isn't optimistic.\n\nLONG: I think we will be a poorer place as a result of Brexit. I think we will be a more unstable place politically. I think that Northern Ireland's future within the U.K. is less certain than it has ever been, certainly in my lifetime.\n\nLANGFITT: All because of a referendum more than three years ago that most people in Northern Ireland voted against.\n\nFrank Langfitt, NPR News, Belfast.\n\n(SOUNDBITE OF RELEASE THE LONG SHIPS' \"TURNED INTO A DEER\")\n\nCopyright © 2019 NPR.

The couple took their fight to the Supreme Court, the highest court in Britain, forcing the law change.\n\nSteinfeld told journalists it was their personal wish to form a civil partnership which came from a personal desire to formalise their relationship in a more modern way, with a focus in equality and mutual respect. She said it creates new, modern possibilities for thousands of people to express their love and commitment and ends the unrivaled position of marriage.\n\nThe change means couples will be able to access the same tax benefits, pensions and inheritances as those available to married couples.\n\nThe government said thousands of civil ceremonies were taking place across England and Wales Tuesday as the new rules came into operation.\n\nA spokesperson for the Government Equalities Office said: \"Civil partnerships are not intended to compete with marriage but rather to provide an alternative option for those couples who do not wish to marry but want legal certainty and stability for their families.\"", "In Vienna, the International Atomic Energy Agency said on Monday ElBaradei had accepted Iran's invitation, but said no date had yet been set.", "in vienna , the international atomic energy agency said on monday elbaradei had accepted iran 's invitation , but said no date had yet been set .", "I am in a similar situation.", "I wood have at least asked if a threesome was out of the question.", "admit to testing or proof .", "Austria's Conservatives led by Sebastian Kurz on Wednesday agreed to form a coalition government with the Greens after a final round of talks capping almost three months of negotiations.\n\nAdvertising Read more\n\nIt will mark the first time the Green party has been in power, after Kurz's alliance with the far-right collapsed in a corruption scandal and triggered elections in September.\n\nKurz's People's Party (OeVP) and the Greens made gains in the election, bringing them together in unlikely negotiations given the 33-year-old's carefully groomed image as a hardliner on immigration.\n\n\"The OeVP and Greens have agreed on a government programme together,\" a Greens representative with knowledge of the negotiations, who declined to be named, told AFP.\n\nAn OeVP official confirmed the same to AFP. The two parties' leaders are to make a statement later Wednesday.\n\n'Huge stretch'\n\nDespite progress to bridge the significant gaps, observers said the new government would face challenges after Kurz's previous rule with the far-right Freedom Party (FPOe) saw a raft of anti-immigration measures passed, sharply dividing Austrians.\n\n\"2020 as a political year of change\" ran the main online headline of the Kurier daily earlier Wednesday.\n\nBoth the OeVP and the Greens will be hard-pressed to show they have not compromised too much on their key principals and campaign promises when they present the joint government programme, which is expected Thursday.\n\n\"From his (Kurz's) perspective, it's a huge stretch and it's also a danger that over time he might lose some of the voters he gained from the Freedom Party,\" analyst Thomas Hofer told AFP.\n\nIn the September polls, the OeVP managed to pick up disenchanted FPOe voters, getting 37.5 percent in total.\n\nThe Greens secured 13.9 percent of the vote, their best-ever result, due to the environment replacing immigration as top concern in the country of 8.8 million people.\n\nTrend setter?\n\nHofer said other European countries, such as Germany, could also see Conservative-Green party coalitions in the future. Sweden, Finland, Lithuania and Luxemburg already have Greens in government.\n\n\"Kurz is setting a certain trend maybe ahead of time, and this is certainly something also on the international stage that he would be able to sell,\" he said.\n\nHofer described Greens chief Werner Kogler, who is expected to be vice-chancellor, as a \"pragmatist\" who had stabilised the party.\n\nThe 58-year-old took on the leadership after the party lost all their parliamentary seats in a shock defeat in 2017, largely due to infighting and splits.\n\nA congress of the party's almost 280 delegates must still endorse the coalition agreement, but they are expected to do so.\n\n\"It's a historical chance for them,\" Hofer said.\n\nAs junior coalition partner, the Greens would get four ministries, including an enlarged environment ministry that also comprises infrastructure, traffic, energy and technology, according to a party representative familiar with the negotiations.\n\nThe OeVP will maintain control of the rest, including the coveted interior ministry -- previously headed by a far-right official and embroiled in scandal -- and the finance portfolio.\n\nGreens official Ewa Ernst-Dziedzic told the Standard daily in an interview that compromises are \"part of democracy\", and that the coalition partners would address challenges rather than \"feign harmony and sweep difficult topics under the carpet\".\n\nThe far-right FPOe -- previously riding a wave of populist sentiment seen across Europe -- was routed in the polls after the so-called \"Ibiza-gate\" graft scandal brought down their then-leader and vice-chancellor in May and caused the government to collapse.\n\n(AFP)", "behave in a certain way .", "By withdrawing our resolution, I am nevertheless convinced that our Parliament would have done better to its voice heard by spending, for the Council of Nice, a resolution specific and separate with so important and so difficult issues to the Intergovernmental Conference, rather than to deal with them in the context of a single resolution including also all the other items on the agenda of the Council.", "russia has ratified the amended version but the united states and other nato members have refused to do so until the russian government withdraws troops from the former soviet republics of moldova and georgia.", "We can indeed want more and better, but quite honestly that I believe this is a good start.", "Thus, it is urgent that the inter-service group staff should be strengthened very quickly at the heart of the General Secretariat of the Commission, so that all proposals to act of general scope can be accompanied, during their examination by the college on the basis of Article 299(2), a detailed impact statement.", "continue a certain state , condition , or activity .", "what happened the initiative does not go very far .", "after talks at nato headquarters baluyevsky repeated russia's opposition to u.s. plans to install antimissile defenses in europe and dismissed u.s. assertions that the interceptors were needed to defend against potential threats from iran.", "The problem is simple.", "Especially, when a unipersonal company or a company less cash than 250 paid has a project, it must be possible to be given a financing not only with one guarantee with 120%, but also on the simple basis of an good idea.", "I urge that to seize this motion, this invitation, this request of dialogue, to give further and to make sure that, together with this Assembly, these relics of a nationalist might be.", "it is appropriate that the european union is and what it implies does it quickly .", "I don't see why this could be a problem.", "an area that is approximately central within some larger region .", "Irish Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney DUP leader Arlene Foster\n\nSimon Coveney urges 'new beginning' as Stormont talks set to resume BelfastTelegraph.co.uk Irish Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney has called for a \"new beginning\" as talks to restore power-sharing resume tomorrow at Stormont. https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/simon-coveney-urges-new-beginning-as-stormont-talks-set-to-resume-38827500.html https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/b1f78/38827498.ece/AUTOCROP/h342/2020-01-02_new_56004090_I1.JPG\n\nEmail\n\nIrish Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney has called for a \"new beginning\" as talks to restore power-sharing resume tomorrow at Stormont.\n\nDUP leader Arlene Foster said her party aimed to secure a \"fair and balanced\" deal.\n\nThe parties have just 11 days to reach a compromise.

View more opinion articles on CNN.\n\n(CNN) The news that John Lewis, the civil rights icon and congressman from Georgia, has been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer represents a sobering reminder. This legendary man now faces a mighty challenge -- and the sad news of his illness reminds us of the fortitude so many brought to the civil rights struggle and the somber reality that we are slowly losing the generation that defeated Jim Crow segregation in America.\n\nPeniel Joseph\n\nEvery generation that passes into history takes with it vital institutional memory that indelibly shapes contemporary notions of citizenship, freedom and democracy. Lewis' generation has done this in momentous ways. Beyond the quest for voting rights and struggles to end Jim Crow in public schools and neighborhoods lay the undiscovered country of full citizenship for everyone from semi-literate sharecroppers in the Mississippi Delta to the unjustly incarcerated in big cities across America.\n\nThe life and legacy of John Lewis encompasses the complex relationship between race and citizenship in America. The outpouring of love, support and concern that greeted the news of the congressman's medical diagnosis should be refracted though the lens of our own tumultuous time: an era marked by racial divisions, a democracy in peril and the alarming frequency of violence such as mass shootings and police killings of unarmed black people.\n\nIn the age of Donald Trump, the possible loss of a statesman such as John Lewis matters more than ever. In that sense the nation now finds itself lamenting the potential loss of its best self, the side of the national character purposeful enough to believe that sacrifice inevitably led to democratic renewal and reinvigorated moral purpose.\n\nJUST WATCHED Rep.

As a Freedom Rider in Anniston, Alabama, in May 1961, Lewis experienced a brutal attack by a white mob that nearly killed him. Four years later, as the chairman of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Lewis faced off against mounted Alabama state troopers at the Edmund Pettus Bridge, emerging as one of the heroes of \"Bloody Sunday\" and experiencing another beating that left him with permanent physical scars, wounds that helped to heal America's political soul.\n\nRead More", "the particular portion of space occupied by something .", "contrast with equal weight or force .", "By withdrawing our resolution, I am nevertheless convinced that our Parliament would have done better to its voice heard by spending, for the Council of Nice, a resolution specific and separate with so important and so difficult issues to the Intergovernmental Conference, rather than to deal with them in the context of a single resolution including also all the other items on the agenda of the Council.", "The legal reasons why public employees can unionize have been elsewhere described.", "be or play a part of or in .", "Instead he left the courtroom a free man after authorities dismissed criminal charges.", "allow to have .", "formally reject or disavow a formerly held belief , usually under pressure .", "certain results are remarkable .", "an act of hindering someone 's plans or efforts .", "this is the last chance to build security in the middle east based on trust and cooperation rather than on the possession of nuclear arms.", "go back to a previous state .", "a bundle ( especially one carried on the back ) .", "draw advantages from .", "something with no concrete substance .", "Nirvana is NOT oblivion.", "Since you have one ticket, you don't have to worry.", "A car is backing out of a blocked lane.", "And if that ain't a Democrat, then I must be in the wrong meeting,\" he said to thunderous applause from his supporters.", "and if that ain 't a democrat , then i must be in the wrong meeting , \" he said to thunderous applause from his supporters .", "Secondly, it is necessary to say “not” to the concept big-bang which would like that one admits at the same time an major group of country, because that would be in conflict with the principle of the admission of each country according to its merits.", "we must find other ways .", "become distinct and acquire a different character .", "Teams of inspectors walked into a restricted area at one park without being stopped by employees; others took pictures of security-sensitive areas without anyone challenging them.", "the act of forcing yourself ( or being forced ) into or through a restricted space .", "come back after being refused .", "You don't have to know.", "(B5-0794 / 2000, by Mr Medina Ortega, Linkohr and Mr Fava, on behalf of the Group of the Party of European Socialists, on the abduction by Colombia of a Spanish Jesuit engaged in negotiations with the guerrilla movement.", "when you crossed the line , you violated the constitutional right , \" said charles weisselberg , who teaches law at the university of california , berkeley .", "When you crossed the line, you violated the constitutional right,\" said Charles Weisselberg, who teaches law at the University of California, Berkeley.", "On the contrary, the influence of the national democracies decreases by limit always more the right of veto and to give always more capacity to the Parliament of the EU.", "make less severe or strict .", "come out better in a competition , race , or conflict .", "we can also see that the french philosopher marcel gauchet entitled one recent books democracy against itself .", "But the justices ruled that the police supervisor who repeatedly questioned Mr Martinez as he screamed in pain did not violate his Fifth Amendment rights.", "Saturday, officials in California described Gehring as cooperative — but said he has revealed nothing about what has happened to the children.", "Today is Wednesday, Jan. 1, the first day of leap year 2020.

In France, for example, the government urges citizens to stay ‘at least one metre’ away from others.\n\nExperts heading up the government’s response to Covid stressed the importance of the current rules on Thursday, although they did highlight grey areas in the science of social distancing.\n\nThe Government’s chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance said: ‘It’s not an absolute (that) beyond two metres is safe and slightly less is not safe, there’s a graduation across that, and so roughly at a metre it’s somewhere between 10 and 30 times more risky than at two metres.’\n\nEngland’s chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty said that staying two metres apart when meeting someone outside would rule them out of being counted as a contact under the track & trace scheme – meaning one would not need to self-isolate if the other developed coronavirus.\n\nBoris Johnson added: ‘I must stress that to control the virus, everyone needs to stay alert, act responsibly, strictly observe social distancing rules, and stay two metres apart from those who you do not live with.’\n\nGet in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@metro.co.uk.\n\nFor more stories like this, check our news page.", "When we are faced with a potential risk, it is important to put into practice the principle of precaution.", "\"What is happening here is that people who have opposed this action throughout are trying to find fresh reasons why it was not the right thing to do.\"", "Faced with these, the necessity of a greater involvement and greater effectiveness in the fight against poverty and is essential.", "If we create a clear framework and binding on the Member States, the various systems to meet these requirements should have a longer period test.", "This is our struggle for priority that the affirmation of fundamental rights to be implemented in political choices.", "continue a certain state , condition , or activity .", "This House but also fought so that this reduction in funds allocated to the innovative actions is offset by the use of framework of flexibility, as defined in a statement on the financial perspective.", "Health Minister Manto-Tshabalala Msimang is not fit to preside over an anti-retroviral treatment rollout plan, according to some opposition parties.", "health minister manto-tshabalala msimang is not fit to preside over an anti-retroviral treatment rollout plan , according to some opposition parties .", "cause to move back and forth .", "senior fellow at the international institute for strategic studies mark fitzpatrick stated that-- the international atomic energy agency plan is superficial.", "value measured by what must be given or done or undergone to obtain something .", "It is not the time to be hesitant.", "Also, who's to say there aren't testimonies from \"real\" health experts on there?", "The Senate judiciary committee on Tuesday overcame a significant hurdle in the battle to create a trust fund to pay victims of asbestos exposure but the most difficult obstacles remain.", "\"This was a persistent problem which has not been solved, mechanically and physically,\" said board member Steven Wallace.", "Finally, and this is a most controversial issue, the Commission has called vigorously to use the fast-track procedure to implement this legislation.", "\"We have found the smoking gun,\" said Hubbard, director of NASA's Ames Research Center in California.", "\" we have found the smoking gun , \" said hubbard , director of nasa 's ames research center in california .", "So which system isn't working for us?", "The answer to your question is not really.", "The results of an antibody test study including thousands of residents in California's Santa Clara County suggests that there have been tens of thousands more COVID-19 infections in the county than officially reported, according to ABC News.\n\nWhat the study found: The study tested 3,300 residents of Santa Clara County and found that between 2.5% and 4% of them tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies, indicating that they had been infected in the past and had possibly developed immunity.\n\n\n\nFrom that result, researchers estimated that between 48,000 and 81,000 people in the county (population 2 million) have already gotten COVID-19. Currently, the county has officially recorded approximately 1,000 cases.\n\nWhat this could mean: This is just the latest data providing evidence that the coronavirus has spread far more broadly than we are able to confirm through COVID-19 tests, which are still scarce and typically only administered to those who are exhibiting symptoms.\n\n\"Our findings suggest that there is somewhere between 50- and 80-fold more infections in our county than what's known by the number of cases than are reported by our department of public health,\" Dr. Eran Bendavid, the associate professor of medicine at Stanford University who led the study, told ABC News' Diane Sawyer.\n\n\n\nOther considerations: With this study, it's important to note that the use of online ads to recruit participants in the study could have skewed the sample some.\n\n\n\nIt's also not clear what level of immunity people with the antibodies have, and how long it might last. Assuming the antibodies provide some level of immunity, however, this study also indicates that potentially 95% of the country has not been exposed to the virus and therefore has no immunity.\n\nAs states prepare to gradually ease social distancing mandates and allow public life to resume normally, a lack of immunity in the population creates a possibility of coronavirus outbreaks once people start gathering again.\n\n\"[W]hat that means for things like, are we going to wait for people to get infected to get antibodies in order for them to get back to work ... knowing that well upwards of 90% of the population doesn't have antibodies is going to make that a very difficult choice,\" Bendavid told ABC News.", "From 1996, the European Parliament has declared itself in favour of a ban on the use of meat and bone meal in the European Union, in accordance with the precautionary principle - only if we had listened.", "the plan , called the nih roadmap , was developed over 14 months with help from more than 300 consultants in industry and academia .", "The plan, called The NIH Roadmap, was developed over 14 months with help from more than 300 consultants in industry and academia.", "determine or indicate the place , site , or limits of , as if by an instrument or by a survey .", "My judgment is 95 percent of that information could be declassified, become uncensored so the American people would know,\" Mr. Shelby said on NBC's \"Meet the Press.\"", "my judgment is 95 percent of that information could be declassified , become uncensored so the american people would know , \" mr. shelby said on nbc 's \" meet the press . \"", "as i have already explained to us at second reading , a crisis is at the root of this amendment to directive .", "Still, he noted that Miami must decide whether to seek A.C.C. membership by June 30 to adhere to Big East guidelines.", "\"It just seems like all the issues that we support he doesn't,\" said Gabriela Lemus, the league's director of policy and legislation.", "We must obviously determine the reasons for the increase in the incidence of BSE, not only in France but also in other Member States.", "be careful or certain to do something ; make certain of something .", "formally reject or disavow a formerly held belief , usually under pressure .", "Tom Kraynak, manager of operations and resources for the Canton, Ohio-based East Central Area Reliability Council, said investigators are considering the scenario.", "tom kraynak , manager of operations and resources for the canton , ohio-based east central area reliability council , said investigators are considering the scenario .", "In a significant development, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), which has been medically heading India's fight against coronavirus, is holding a crucial meeting on the measures that have been taken so far. Earlier in the day, ICMR had confirmed that there is no community transmission of the Covid-19 virus yet. The development comes after ICMR tested 826 cases to check if there is any community transmission of the virus and found the results to be negative.\n\nThe ICMR is said to have shared details of the same with the Central government on Thursday. Had the results turned positive, it would have been a serious concern nationwide as other nations such as Italy, France, Iran are bearing the brunt of the community transmission of the virus leading to lockdown in their respective countries.\n\nThe high-level meeting is being attended by ICMR Director-General Dr Balram Bhargava and All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) director Randeep Guleria. It is also reported that discussions about community transmission are being held.\n\nREAD: 'No evidence of community transmission in India so far': ICMR on Coronavirus outbreak\n\nGovernment measures\n\nThe government has announced numerous measures to combat the deadly virus. Thermal screening is being carried out at airports across the country. The Ministry has deployed around 30,000 - 35,000 personnel on community surveillance keeping a close watch.\n\nThe government has also allowed private testing facilities to test patients for Coronavirus, besides the already functional government testing facilities. Schools and other educational institutions, malls, cinema halls, pubs, gyms and swimming pools have been shut down in order to prevent the spread of the virus. Also, religious and spiritual places of pilgrimage and worship such as Vaishnodevi, Shirdi's Saibaba temple and Mumbai's Siddhivinayak temple among others have been shut down.\n\nREAD: Change in temp will not impact coronavirus spread: ICMR chief\n\nThe Coronavirus crisis\n\nFirst detected in Wuhan in December 2019, COVID-19- the novel Coronavirus has affected nearly 173 countries in the world and one international conveyance-- the Diamond Princess cruise ship harboured in Yokohama, Japan. Presently, there are around 219,087 confirmed cases of COVID-19 which has led to the death of around 8,961 people. As there is no vaccine or specific antiviral medicine to treat COVID-19 yet, countries have been grappling with all possible mechanisms to contain its scope. So far, China, South Korea, Italy, and Iran have witnessed the most number of confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus.\n\nOn March 19, the total number of positive cases in India has reached 182. The maximum cases of the virus have been reported in Maharashtra and Kerala. The third death was reported in India on Tuesday in Mumbai's Kasturba Hospital. Earlier, two deaths were reported in Kalaburgi and West Delhi.\n\nThe Centre has “strongly advised” Indians to avoid all non-essential travel abroad. The government is also monitoring all suspected cases and has issued preventive advisories. Earlier on Saturday, the Central government decided to treat the deadly virus as a \"notified disaster\", and has since issued even more advisories and travel restrictions.\n\nREAD: 'India has reached stage 2 of COVID-19 pandemic,' says ICMR Director-General Dr Balram\n\nREAD: India's ICMR rules out dreaded Stage 3; confirms no Coronavirus community transmission yet", "maintain or assert .", "Two new cases of the novel coronavirus have been confirmed in San Joaquin County, bringing the total to three cases in the county, public health officials said Thursday.In response, San Joaquin County Public Health Services declared a public health emergency “in order to assist in leveraging additional resources and funding to ensure an appropriate response to the COVID-19 outbreak.”“The proclamation should not be considered a reason for heightened concern; it is intended to help facilitate additional resources to address the increasing demands of containing the virus,” health officials said in a statement.County officials will now be shifting to community mitigation measures as a way to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

it.\n\n“And more than that, as well as it just being completely wrong to attack police officers who are trying to keep the peace, many of whom are deeply sympathetic with the sentiment behind these protests, who are struggling as well to deal with Covid and help to keep public order in a really unprecedented situation, it also has the effect of dampening the voices of those who are calling for change.\n\n“Because the newspapers this morning, the headlines were dominated by the fact that there was violence, a small number using violence at the London protest.\n\n“And actually across this

Photo / Getty Images\n\nThe 2010s were a turbulent, transformative and testing time for the global economy but there was not a recession.\n\nThat is extremely rare. In fact, it is the first decade in the post-world war II era without a downturn in the UK and US.\n\nA year ago many economists thought the global economy would be crawling over the line into the 2020s and would suffer a recession soon after.\n\nREAD MORE:\n\n• 'Indicators are flashing red': Warning signs recession is looming\n\n• A recession will come, but how bad will it be?\n\n• Jared Bernstein: Just how likely is a recession?\n\n• Experts warn the next recession will be 'worse than the Great Depression' and predict it will hit US within two years\n\nThe trade war had escalated at a frightening pace, Brexit was in deadlock, global factories were heading into a deep industrial recession and central banks appeared to be oblivious to the threat of a downturn. The market's most-trusted recession signal - the US Treasury yield curve - then flashed red, predicting one within 24 months.\n\nBut the mood on markets has turned on a pinhead.\n\nAn ageing, and in some parts of the world record-long, economic cycle appears to have been given a shot in the arm. City forecasters have pencilled a slight acceleration in global growth from 2019's post-financial crisis low of 3pc to 3.1pc this year and 3.2pc in 2021. What changed?\n\nThe headwinds that threatened to tip the world into the next economic crisis have waned substantially. The US and China have reached an agreement for a \"phase one\" trade deal, potentially putting a pause on the protectionist wave sweeping the globe.\n\nBoris Johnson's decisive victory in the election will not only get his Brexit deal over the line but gives him more wriggle room in the next stage of negotiations.\n\nAnd crucially central banks have moved from tightening financial conditions to cutting interest rates and ploughing more money into markets.\n\nThe Federal Reserve, the US central bank, cut borrowing costs three times this year and moved from reversing quantitative easing - its bond-buying programme - to expanding its balance sheet again. The European Central Bank has also extended its experimental policies to revive growth, cutting rates deeper into negative territory and restarting its QE programme after an ill-conceived attempt to end it a year ago.\n\nWhile many economists fret central banks will now not have the firepower to fight a recession if one does strike, the latest burst of stimulus has catapulted stock markets to new record highs. Global stocks have followed their worst year since the financial crisis in 2018 with their best, gaining 25 per cent last year.\n\nBut with growth still languishing at post-crisis lows, are investors sleepwalking into the next recession?\n\nMost Wall Street analysts have predicted that the US-China breakthrough and the Fed's policy U-turn will be enough to stave off recession.\n\nThe US became the focus of recession jitters earlier this year given its importance to global growth. When America sneezes, the rest of the world still catches a cold - even as economic powers in the east rise.\n\nHowever, Philip Marey, Rabobank's senior US strategist, warns the euphoria on markets over the trade deal has been \"overdone\", predicting the US will enter a recession in the second half of this year.\n\nThe deal struck by Beijing and the Trump administration picks the low-hanging fruit of agricultural products and rolling back tariffs but fails to tackle the key sticking points between the two countries, such as intellectual property.\n\nMarey also argues that business investment remains low and the slack left in the US economy - the resources of an economy not being used - is very small, capping the room for growth. A key risk is that business worries feed through into the jobs market and hit the confidence of consumers, whose spending accounts for around 70 per cent of US GDP.\n\nMore rate cuts from the Fed would not be able to support growth further, he argues.\n\n\"It is really ineffective in supporting business investment and that is where the real bottleneck is at the moment,\" he says.\n\n\"For businesses, interest rates are low anyway so that is not their main concern.\"\n\nThe US election in November will start to come into focus for investors, generating another source of uncertainty for businesses.\n\nSigns of a recession brewing in the US could severely dent Donald Trump's chances given the strong economy is seen as stopping his approval rating sliding any lower.\n\nFour more years of Trump will increase the risk of another trade standoff but some of his Democratic challengers are equally problematic for businesses and investors.\n\nBernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren - who are currently polling in second and third place ahead of the Democratic primaries - are two leftist populists with plans to radically redistribute wealth and take on Wall Street.\n\nCiti global chief economist Catherine Mann says uncertainty from trade and politics \"matters for the global economy\".\n\n\"The several risks that have been weighing on the global outlook have not dissipated, and there is a non-small probability that these intensify in 2020.\"\n\nWhile most investment banks believe the threat of an immediate downturn has been pushed back, she warns that the \"risk of recession still does loom over the economy\".\n\nThe relief from a prolonged and economically damaging period of uncertainty in the UK could also be brief.\n\nEven with the Brexit deadlock broken, economists expect growth in the UK to be tepid again this year, slowing further from around 1.3 to 1.1 per cent.\n\nWith the prime minister insisting on a final trade deal with the EU being agreed before the end of the year, more uncertainty could plague businesses and the UK economy. No-deal Brexit worries could return in the second half of the year.\n\nBerenberg UK economist Kallum Pickering is more optimistic, predicting that growth will hit 1.8 per cent this year after being boosted by the fiscal stimulus promised by the Conservatives.\n\n\"An orderly Brexit can lift confidence and spending in the next two years after more than three years of heightened uncertainty and gradually softening momentum,\" he says.\n\nEconomists expect much of the business investment lost over the last three years to return but estimates of how much can be lured back vary from around a quarter to a half. Some of the investment will be lost forever, however.\n\nTorsten Bell, chief executive of think tank the Resolution Foundation, warns that Britain's buoyant jobs market could turn in 2020. This could weaken the economic boost provided by record employment levels and shoppers enjoying their biggest pay rises since the last recession.\n\n\"Our best guess is that 2020 will be very different from the last few years,\" Bell says. \"We may well see a welcome return to record pay levels, but a less welcome retreat from record employment, with worrying signs including falling vacancies and rising youth unemployment.\"\n\nMeanwhile the eurozone economy is expected to be weighed down again by Germany in 2020, with the impotent ECB unable to provide much stimulus and Northern European governments refusing to boost spending.\n\nChina, which has been hit hardest in the industrial recession triggered by the trade war, is also expected to slow further. City forecasters are predicting its growth will sink below the symbolic 6 per cent mark despite Beijing's huge fiscal and monetary stimulus efforts to pep up the economy.\n\nWhile most economists believe a recession will now be avoided in 2020, the ability of policymakers and central bankers to revive growth is severely limited, if one does strike.\n\nThe world economy is facing at the very least a prolonged period of stubbornly slow growth that will be difficult to escape.\n\n- Telegraph", "Last week, former chief financial officer Franklyn Bergonzi pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy and agreed to cooperate with the government's investigation.", "Australia's 9 million income taxpayers received surprise tax cuts of between $3 and $11 a week from Treasurer Peter Costello last night.", "australia 's 9 million income taxpayers received surprise tax cuts of between $ 3 and $ 11 a week from treasurer peter costello last night .", "We welcome the measures proposed in this respect by the preparatory committee and decided by the General Assembly with regard to the system of accreditation of non-governmental organisations, with the preparatory process and the special session in September 2001.", "Something like this is useful:", "The other point of view, illustrated by the initial matter of the rapporteur and shared per number of Members, consists in promoting the regulations and the codes of conduct necessary to found, between insurers, the forms of mutualisation of the costs guaranteeing to all the supply of an high quality of care and to counter the risks to see developing discriminatory practices and a risk selection and customers.", "I agree with the previous comments.", "That's what the historical record shows.", "it is appropriate that the european union is and what it implies does it quickly .", "regain or make up for .", "norms are barely comparable and even less alienable .", "It must be respected and protected.", "The central bank's policy board left rates steady for now, as widely expected, but surprised the market by declaring that overall risks were weighted toward weakness.", "the trait of sincere and steadfast fixity of purpose .", "Indeed, there is absolutely no doubt that the definition of fair price that is proposed is better than another, because the definitions used in the Member States currently sufficient all amply.", "refrain from harming .", "move very slightly .", "I had this same situation.", "put under the control and authority of a federal government .", "the cfe is a cornerstone of european security.", "From 1996, the European Parliament has declared itself in favour of a ban on the use of meat and bone meal in the European Union, in accordance with the precautionary principle - only if we had listened.", "the successful action of solving a problem .", "pass into a specified state or condition .", "By withdrawing our resolution, I am nevertheless convinced that our Parliament would have done better to its voice heard by spending, for the Council of Nice, a resolution specific and separate with so important and so difficult issues to the Intergovernmental Conference, rather than to deal with them in the context of a single resolution including also all the other items on the agenda of the Council.", "Philadelphia's council is not the first to defy the national policy.", "philadelphia 's council is not the first to defy the national policy .", "I thought it was good, and I didn't find it confusing.", "A budget line has programmes for mine clearance and prevention for years.", "Mr President, I voted in favour of the Garcia-Margallo y Marfil report, which deals with the taxation of services provided electronically.", "\"Our strong preference is to achieve a financial restructuring out of court,\" Mirant CEO Marce Fuller said in a prepared statement early Friday.", "Elementary Commodity-Capital Value-Form .", "continue a certain state , condition , or activity .", "And I say to you very clearly: we need to give its opportunity to Koitunica, and I therefore hope that he will ensure an amnesty over the coming weeks or months;

The family has instructed Sussman to seek a mental health evaluation for Thomas.\n\nThe federal complaint paints a different picture of Thomas.\n\nBased on a court warrant approved Sunday, the FBI searched Thomas' home and his cellular telephone, finding references to Jews, Hitler, the Nazi culture, as well as packaging for an 18-inch machete, according to the complaint signed by FBI Special Agent Julie Brown.\n\nAgents also found among his journals drawings of a Star of David and a swastika, according to the complaint.\n\nThe hand-written journal removed from Thomas' house included references to \"Hebrew Israelites took from the powerful ppl\"; questioning \"why ppl mourned for anti-Semitism when there is Semitic genocide;\" referring to Adolf Hitler and Nazi culture on the same page as a drawings of a Star of David and a swastika.\n\nHis cell phone's internet browser included November and December searches for topics such as \"Why did Hitler hate the Jews, German Jewish Temples near me, Zionist Temples in Elizabeth, NJ, Zionist Temples of Staten Island, Prominent companies founded by Jews in America,\" according to the complaint.\n\nOn the day of the attack, Thomas' phone had a search for the article, \"New York City increases Police Presence in Jewish Neighborhoods After Possible Anti-Semitic Attacks.

Five people suffered serious injuries, including a severed finger, slash wounds and deep cuts. A 70-year-old man suffered a fractured skull and remains in critical condition at the Westchester Medical Center with another man.\n\n* Thomas fled the house and one witness wrote down the license plate number of his vehicle. Police used databases containing license plate reader data,. The car crossed the George Washington Bridge from Fort Lee, N.J., into Manhattan at 11:07 p.m.\n\n* Two NYPD officers stopped the car at 11:49 p.m., detecting a strong smell of bleach and saw blood on Thomas' clothing.

Prosecutors requested Thomas remain detained on the federal charges, which was not contested by Brody.\n\nWhen answering questions from U.S. District Court Judge Paul Davison, Thomas, dressed in orange Rockland County Correctional Facility prison garb and with shackles on his ankles, said his head wasn’t clear because he needed rest, but that he was coherent.\n\nThomas’ next court appearance is Jan. 13.\n\nRamapo Police Chief Brad Weidel has been tight-lipped sharing details about Thomas and the investigation into the Hanukkah party attack on Saturday night.

He now needs the protection and security of his government after fleeing Japan, they added.\n\nA media advisor to the president’s office denied the two men had met.\n\nLebanese officials have said there would be no need to take legal measures against Ghosn because he entered the country legally on a French passport, although Ghosn’s French, Lebanese and Brazilian passports are with lawyers in Japan.\n\nThe French and Lebanese foreign ministries have said they were unaware of the circumstances of his journey.\n\nLebanon has no extradition agreement with Japan, where Ghosn faced trial on charges of financial misconduct, which he denied.\n\nUnder the terms of his bail, he had been confined to his house in Tokyo and had to have cameras installed at the entrance. He was prevented from communicating with his wife and had his use of the internet and other communications curtailed.\n\nThe sources said the Lebanese ambassador to Japan had visited him daily while he was in detention.\n\nWhile some Lebanese media have floated a Houdini-like account of Ghosn being packed in a wooden container for musical instruments after a private concert in his home, his wife called the account pure fiction when contacted by Reuters.\n\nShe declined to provide details of the exit of one of the most recognized titans of industry. The accounts of the two sources suggest a carefully planned escape few were aware of.\n\nThey said a private security firm oversaw the plan, which was three months in the making and involved shuttling Ghosn out via a private jet to Istanbul before pushing onward to Beirut, with even the pilot unaware of Ghosn’s presence on board.\n\n“It was a very professional operation from start to finish,” said one of the sources. The other source said Ghosn was in good health.\n\nIn a written statement, Ghosn said after his arrival that he had “escaped injustice and political persecution” and would begin communicating with media next week. Sources close to him said he was unwilling to share details of his escape so as not to jeopardize those who aided him in Japan.\n\nHe is staying at the home of a relative of his wife, but plans to return soon to a gated villa in the upscale Beirut neighborhood of Achrafieh, one of the sources said.\n\nHe was first arrested in Tokyo in November 2018 and faces four charges — which he denies — including hiding income and enriching himself through payments to dealerships in the Middle East.\n\nNissan sacked him as chairman, saying internal investigations revealed misconduct, including understating his salary while he was its chief executive, and transferring $5 million of Nissan funds to an account in which he had an interest.\n\nGhosn has enjoyed an outpouring of support from Lebanese since his 2018 arrest, with billboards proclaiming “We are all Carlos Ghosn” erected in solidarity with his case.\n\nLocally he is considered a poster boy for success in a country where rampant unemployment pushes young Lebanese abroad to find work and the economy relies heavily on remittances amid a deep financial crisis that has sparked a wave of protests.\n\nGhosn was born in Brazil but of Lebanese descent and lived in Lebanon as a child. He oversaw a turnaround at French carmaker Renault that won him the nickname “Le Cost Killer” and used similar methods to revive Nissan.", "A man is talking.", "Samudra not present in Bangkok, the indictment said, but attended a series of meetings before the attacks, recruiting fellow bombers and coordinating the operation.", "One of the key suspects in the October nightclub bombings that killed more than 200 people in Bali went on trial Monday amid tight security.", "TOKYO >> By jumping bail, former Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn, who had long insisted on his innocence, has now committed a clear crime and can never return to Japan without going to jail.\n\n“So he now has burnt his bridges to Japan,” Stephen Givens, a lawyer and expert on Japan’s legal and corporate systems, said Wednesday. “This is going to end in basically a stalemate with him spending the rest of his life in Lebanon.”\n\nHow exactly Ghosn fled surveillance in Japan and popped up in Lebanon, or who might have directed the dramatic escape, remains unclear.\n\nThe Tokyo District Court revoked his bail, Japanese media reports said, meaning authorities would seize the $14 million Ghosn had posted on two separate instances to get out of detention.\n\nGhosn was first arrested in November 2018, released and then rearrested.\n\nThe court was closed for the New Year’s holidays and could not be immediately reached for comment.\n\nGhosn had been out on bail while awaiting trial on various financial misconduct allegations. The trial was expected to start in April. The date had not been set.\n\nHow the Japanese authorities might investigate Ghosn’s escape and what action they might take on the apparent security lapses remains unclear.\n\nGhosn, who is of Lebanese origin and holds French, Lebanese and Brazilian passports, disclosed his location in a statement through his representatives but did not say how he managed to flee Japan. He promised to talk to reporters next week.\n\nHe said he wanted to avoid “injustice and political persecution.”\n\n“I am now in Lebanon and will no longer be held hostage by a rigged Japanese justice system where guilt is presumed, discrimination is rampant, and basic human rights are denied, in flagrant disregard of Japan’s legal obligations under international law and treaties it is bound to uphold,” the statement said.\n\nHis lawyer Junichiro Hironaka denied all knowledge of the escape, saying he was stunned. He said he didn’t expect Ghosn to return to Japan.\n\nWhen asked if Ghosn had taken any of the documents being prepared for the trial, Hironaka acknowledged he hadn’t checked but said he seriously doubted Ghosn would care about a trial he had taken such pains to avoid.\n\nJapanese media reports said Wednesday there were no official records of Ghosn’s departure from the country, but a private jet had left from a regional airport to Turkey. One report said he sneaked out from his Tokyo home hiding in a case for a musical instrument.\n\nLebanon’s minister for presidential affairs, Selim Jreissati, told the An-Nahar newspaper that Ghosn entered legally at the airport with a French passport and Lebanese ID.\n\nFrance has reacted with surprise and confusion, denying any knowledge.\n\nSpeculation is rife that a foreign or Japanese government, or both, might have been involved, or maybe just looked the other way to allow the escape to rid the public of a potentially embarrassing trial.\n\nWith him missing, Ghosn’s trial is suspended.\n\nBut a trial is still pending against Nissan as a company and Greg Kelly, another Nissan executive. Kelly, an American, has said he is innocent.\n\nKelly’s allegations overlap with those charges against Ghosn related to the underreporting of Ghosn’s future compensation. Those charges are less serious than the additional breach of trust accusations against Ghosn.\n\nGhosn has been charged with breach of trust in having Nissan shoulder his personal investment losses, and diverting payments in Saudi Arabia and Oman for personal gain.\n\nHe has repeatedly asserted his innocence, saying authorities trumped up the charges to prevent a fuller merger between Nissan and alliance partner Renault SA.", "Killer may have filmed France school shooting", "Please, what about them are not true.", "Sewol ferry crew faces trial", "admit to testing or proof .", "new york - ( dow jones ) - former star investment banker frank quattrone pleaded not guilty tuesday to criminal charges of obstruction of justice and witness tampering .", "NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Former star investment banker Frank Quattrone pleaded not guilty Tuesday to criminal charges of obstruction of justice and witness tampering.", "Spitz is expected to testify later for the defense.", "there is no chance at a fair trial.", "show to be invalid .", "François Hollande threatens legal action over affair claims", "Egypt's Morsi faces trial for prison break", "What conviction would that be?", "Yes what are his charges.", "Syria opposition pressed to attend talks", "act against or in opposition to .", "Ahmadinejad may face charges over election appearance", "It is on trial on 8 January.

It operated in all parts of Ireland except in Dublin, where the DMP was the police force during the same period.\n\nMr Flanagan in September became the first government minister to attend a commemoration service for policemen killed by the IRA in the War of Independence.\n\nMinisters have traditionally shied away from such services because of the role of both forces in opposing those who sought Irish independence through armed actions.\n\nThe armed RIC was in the vanguard of British resistence to the IRA during the War of Independence causing thousands to quit the force. Dáil Éireann organised a boycott of the force from April 1919 on and the mass burning of RIC barracks began in January 1920.\n\nWhen the British government realised the RIC was not up to the task of defending British rule in Ireland, they drafted in the Black and Tans and Auxiliaries, mercenary soldiers from Britain, to take the fight to the IRA.\n\nIn September, Mr Flanagan was a guest at the annual interdenominational service for members of the RIC and DMP held at the Church of St Paul of the Cross in Mount Argus in Dublin.\n\nTaoiseach Leo Varadkar was represented by his aide-de-camp Commandant Caroline Burke at the service.\n\nThe names of 11 RIC and four DMP men killed in 1919 during the first year of the War of Independence were read out.\n\nSpeaking to The Irish Times after the service, Mr Flanagan said he attended because the policemen involved were “doing their job. They were murdered in the line of duty.\n\n“They were doing what police officers do. As they saw it they were protecting communities from harm. They were maintaining the rule of law. These are fundamental to police services everywhere.”\n\nMr Flanagan described himself as a “pluralist who believes in the co-existence of peoples of different traditions on the island coming together.\n\n“As Minister for Justice, I acknowledge that being a policeman is a very tough job. The men that we commemorated were all killed in the line of duty.”\n\nHe added: “I believe very strongly in the spirit of the Good Friday Agreement and, in the spirit of co-existence. These are sensitive ceremonies and they are very important to me.\n\n“The fundamental basis of the Good Friday Agreement brings people together. I see the fundamental principle of Brexit being the opposite.\n\n“These are difficult and sensitive issues. We cannot any longer ignore them or be partisan. I believe I have a duty as Minister for Justice to police officers.”\n\nThe decision by the State to hold a service to remember the RIC and DMP has been welcomed by the Historical & Reconciliatory Police (HARP) Society set up in 2012 to remember Irish policemen killed on duty between 1836 and 1922 of whom 525 were killed during the War of Independence.\n\nSpokesman Jim Herlihy said: “The Harp Society are delighted with the initiative now taken by Government in at long last hosting the forthcoming event in Dublin Castle and are also in hope that such an event will lead to the provision of a fitting permanent memorial to commemorate the sacrifice made by the 642 members of Royal Irish Constabulary and the 30 members of the Dublin Metropolitan Police between 1836 and 1922.”\n\nMr Herlihy said his extensive research over the last number of years reveals that 10,936 Black and Tans and 2,264 Auxiliaries served in Ireland during the War of Independence.\n\nOf those, 152 Black and Tans and 44 Auxilaries were killed.\n\nHis research also reveals that 883 Black and Tans were Irish-born and 126 Auxilaries were Irish.", "a sudden sharp decrease in some quantity .", "she countersued for $ 125 million , saying g + j broke its contract with her by cutting her out of key editorial decisions and manipulated the magazine 's financial figures .", "She countersued for $125 million, saying G+J broke its contract with her by cutting her out of key editorial decisions and manipulated the magazine's financial figures.", "Australian PM Gillard ousted in leadership vote", "Last week, the Turkish president had severely criticised India for the communal clashes in Delhi and even went on to call them “massacres of Muslims”.

Senior officials have visited the place of violence, peace committees have been formed and other steps have been taken in this direction,” he added.\n\nIn response to an urgent question on “Recent Violence in India” tabled by Pakistani-origin Opposition Labour Party MP Khalid Mahmood in the House of Commons on Tuesday, UK’s Minister of State in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) Nigel Adams had said, “The UK government also have concerns about the potential impact of the legislation (CAA).”\n\nEarlier today, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei also said that the Indian government should confront extremist Hindus and stop the ‘massacre’ of Muslims.\n\n“The hearts of Muslims all over the world are grieving over the massacre of Muslims in India. The govt of India should confront extremist Hindus & their parties & stop the massacre of Muslims in order to prevent India’s isolation from the world of Islam,” Khamenei tweeted.\n\nMeanwhile, the death toll in communal violence that broke out in northeast Delhi last month, which was sparked by protests over the amended Citizenship Act, climbed to 53 on Thursday.

The order, effective from midnight (12.01 am tonight) until April 13, covering 700 homes with 3,918 residents, he said in a statement here this evening.\n\nIsmail Sabri said the decision was made after taking into account the high number of COVID-19 positive cases involving Maahad Tahfiz AnNabawiyyah students at Batu 23, Sungai Lui. He said the Ministry of Health had confirmed that there were 71 positive cases out of 274 students at the maahad tahfiz. All residents and visitors who are already in the areas are not allowed to leave home during the implementation of the EMCO, he said.\n\n\"Non-residents and visitors will not be allowed to enter the areas during the period of the EMCO and all business activities suspended. “For the next 14 days, food to all residents will be provided by the Welfare Department and a Medical Base will be opened in affected areas while all entry points into the areas will be closed,” he said.

We listened very carefully to what the unions have had to say, obviously, but they certainly weren’t the only voice in the room.”\n\nThe head of the Australian Council of Trade Unions, Sally McManus, said the government needed to prioritise supporting casual workers who would be forced to take unpaid time off work to ensure the coronavirus was “contained and controlled”.\n\nFacebook Twitter Pinterest ACTU secretary Sally McManus listens as industrial relations minister Christian Porter speaks during the coronavirus roundtable. Photograph: Joel Carrett/AAP\n\n“We do have to think about small businesses, because they’re also going to struggle if there’s a further downturn and so, for that reason, that’s why the government needs to play a role in supporting those workers and those contractors, small businesses in order to make sure people can look after themselves and keep healthy but also so the economy can keep operating,” she said.\n\n“In terms of big business, we heard some encouraging signs today from big business representatives there, where they were saying that they’re ready to support their workforce and we’re ready to work with them to make sure that that happens as well.”\n\nLabor has previously called for Newstart-like payments to be made available to any workers without sick pay who find themselves forced to self-isolate for two weeks.\n\nThe Australian Council of Social Service said it would welcome any form of assistance for vulnerable workers, including one-off stimulus payments, but called for the unemployment payment to be raised as a permanent measure.\n\nSpeaking to the Australian Financial Review business summit in Sydney on Tuesday, Scott Morrison said businesses, unions and even state governments needed to play their own role in steering Australia’s economy through the pandemic.\n\nAustralian government stimulus package promises financial support 'as fast as possible' Read more\n\n“All of us are in a position today to be able to do what we need to do, over the course of this virus crisis to strengthen and see the Australian economy through,” he said.\n\n“And it requires I think that mindset, if you want to have a bounce back stronger on the other side, then it will require I think using those balance sheets that you’ve built for such a time as this, to ensure that Australia emerges stronger.”\n\nPorter also warned unions against the “temptation” to take industrial action during the pandemic, a prospect which has not been floated, as the government worked to protect supply chains.\n\n“I think this is a very bad time for industrial action. I mean, there will always be a temptation to have industrial action when it has the greatest effect,” he said.\n\n“Industrial action of any type at the moment would have a very, very large and negative effect.

Photo / Getty Images\n\nThe 2010s were a turbulent, transformative and testing time for the global economy but there was not a recession.\n\nThat is extremely rare. In fact, it is the first decade in the post-world war II era without a downturn in the UK and US.\n\nA year ago many economists thought the global economy would be crawling over the line into the 2020s and would suffer a recession soon after.\n\nREAD MORE:\n\n• 'Indicators are flashing red': Warning signs recession is looming\n\n• A recession will come, but how bad will it be?\n\n• Jared Bernstein: Just how likely is a recession?\n\n• Experts warn the next recession will be 'worse than the Great Depression' and predict it will hit US within two years\n\nThe trade war had escalated at a frightening pace, Brexit was in deadlock, global factories were heading into a deep industrial recession and central banks appeared to be oblivious to the threat of a downturn. The market's most-trusted recession signal - the US Treasury yield curve - then flashed red, predicting one within 24 months.\n\nBut the mood on markets has turned on a pinhead.\n\nAn ageing, and in some parts of the world record-long, economic cycle appears to have been given a shot in the arm. City forecasters have pencilled a slight acceleration in global growth from 2019's post-financial crisis low of 3pc to 3.1pc this year and 3.2pc in 2021. What changed?\n\nThe headwinds that threatened to tip the world into the next economic crisis have waned substantially. The US and China have reached an agreement for a \"phase one\" trade deal, potentially putting a pause on the protectionist wave sweeping the globe.\n\nBoris Johnson's decisive victory in the election will not only get his Brexit deal over the line but gives him more wriggle room in the next stage of negotiations.\n\nAnd crucially central banks have moved from tightening financial conditions to cutting interest rates and ploughing more money into markets.\n\nThe Federal Reserve, the US central bank, cut borrowing costs three times this year and moved from reversing quantitative easing - its bond-buying programme - to expanding its balance sheet again. The European Central Bank has also extended its experimental policies to revive growth, cutting rates deeper into negative territory and restarting its QE programme after an ill-conceived attempt to end it a year ago.\n\nWhile many economists fret central banks will now not have the firepower to fight a recession if one does strike, the latest burst of stimulus has catapulted stock markets to new record highs. Global stocks have followed their worst year since the financial crisis in 2018 with their best, gaining 25 per cent last year.\n\nBut with growth still languishing at post-crisis lows, are investors sleepwalking into the next recession?\n\nMost Wall Street analysts have predicted that the US-China breakthrough and the Fed's policy U-turn will be enough to stave off recession.\n\nThe US became the focus of recession jitters earlier this year given its importance to global growth. When America sneezes, the rest of the world still catches a cold - even as economic powers in the east rise.\n\nHowever, Philip Marey, Rabobank's senior US strategist, warns the euphoria on markets over the trade deal has been \"overdone\", predicting the US will enter a recession in the second half of this year.\n\nThe deal struck by Beijing and the Trump administration picks the low-hanging fruit of agricultural products and rolling back tariffs but fails to tackle the key sticking points between the two countries, such as intellectual property.\n\nMarey also argues that business investment remains low and the slack left in the US economy - the resources of an economy not being used - is very small, capping the room for growth. A key risk is that business worries feed through into the jobs market and hit the confidence of consumers, whose spending accounts for around 70 per cent of US GDP.\n\nMore rate cuts from the Fed would not be able to support growth further, he argues.\n\n\"It is really ineffective in supporting business investment and that is where the real bottleneck is at the moment,\" he says.\n\n\"For businesses, interest rates are low anyway so that is not their main concern.\"\n\nThe US election in November will start to come into focus for investors, generating another source of uncertainty for businesses.\n\nSigns of a recession brewing in the US could severely dent Donald Trump's chances given the strong economy is seen as stopping his approval rating sliding any lower.\n\nFour more years of Trump will increase the risk of another trade standoff but some of his Democratic challengers are equally problematic for businesses and investors.\n\nBernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren - who are currently polling in second and third place ahead of the Democratic primaries - are two leftist populists with plans to radically redistribute wealth and take on Wall Street.\n\nCiti global chief economist Catherine Mann says uncertainty from trade and politics \"matters for the global economy\".\n\n\"The several risks that have been weighing on the global outlook have not dissipated, and there is a non-small probability that these intensify in 2020.\"\n\nWhile most investment banks believe the threat of an immediate downturn has been pushed back, she warns that the \"risk of recession still does loom over the economy\".\n\nThe relief from a prolonged and economically damaging period of uncertainty in the UK could also be brief.\n\nEven with the Brexit deadlock broken, economists expect growth in the UK to be tepid again this year, slowing further from around 1.3 to 1.1 per cent.\n\nWith the prime minister insisting on a final trade deal with the EU being agreed before the end of the year, more uncertainty could plague businesses and the UK economy. No-deal Brexit worries could return in the second half of the year.\n\nBerenberg UK economist Kallum Pickering is more optimistic, predicting that growth will hit 1.8 per cent this year after being boosted by the fiscal stimulus promised by the Conservatives.\n\n\"An orderly Brexit can lift confidence and spending in the next two years after more than three years of heightened uncertainty and gradually softening momentum,\" he says.\n\nEconomists expect much of the business investment lost over the last three years to return but estimates of how much can be lured back vary from around a quarter to a half. Some of the investment will be lost forever, however.\n\nTorsten Bell, chief executive of think tank the Resolution Foundation, warns that Britain's buoyant jobs market could turn in 2020. This could weaken the economic boost provided by record employment levels and shoppers enjoying their biggest pay rises since the last recession.\n\n\"Our best guess is that 2020 will be very different from the last few years,\" Bell says. \"We may well see a welcome return to record pay levels, but a less welcome retreat from record employment, with worrying signs including falling vacancies and rising youth unemployment.\"\n\nMeanwhile the eurozone economy is expected to be weighed down again by Germany in 2020, with the impotent ECB unable to provide much stimulus and Northern European governments refusing to boost spending.\n\nChina, which has been hit hardest in the industrial recession triggered by the trade war, is also expected to slow further. City forecasters are predicting its growth will sink below the symbolic 6 per cent mark despite Beijing's huge fiscal and monetary stimulus efforts to pep up the economy.\n\nWhile most economists believe a recession will now be avoided in 2020, the ability of policymakers and central bankers to revive growth is severely limited, if one does strike.\n\nThe world economy is facing at the very least a prolonged period of stubbornly slow growth that will be difficult to escape.\n\n- Telegraph", "There are a few minimally-effective things you can do at the personal level.", "estimate the value of .", "That just isn't how legal reasoning works.", "go back to a previous state .", "I find it a little strange to try now to force the Commission to a motion for a resolution and ask him at the same time to draw up a Green Paper on the current state of voluntary insurance and supplementary sickness insurance.", "an unforeseen development .", "The damaged area of the garage was not stable, with ``the real potential for a secondary collapse,'' McGreevey said.", "become unfit for consumption or use .", "This varies by institution.", "I really do not think there is much you can do about that.", "Seismic data does not equal duration of collapse.", "I think there are two important things to consider:", "Things are not clear on this point, and it is not impossible that can also remain in force more restrictive measures, and that is particularly on this point that we have tabled amendments.", "we could perhaps then have avoided a catastrophe .", "I think it's a bad idea.", "This sounds a bit unusual.", "Isn't that redundant and repetetive?", "we must find other ways .", "what happened the initiative does not go very far .", "an onerous or difficult concern .", "continue a certain state , condition , or activity .", "but can this image survive a continuation of the decline ?", "Do you think the Austrian model '' - namely the bilateral majority decision-making - will in future an instrument to take decisions by ignoring the European institutions and to set up a new institution, or a new group, in order to get round the unanimity rule in the Council?", "show to be invalid .", "Nevertheless I would wish to say to the Parliament this afternoon that we should not lose sight of the fact the fact that the European Union spends only 1% of the GDP of the Member States and that the largest part of this money is managed in the Member States.", "You have to much intervention in free markets, not too little.", "That is why I also believe that this reconciliation can take; however, the government, which has very courageously found a solution to the issue of universities and many other problems, needs visible signs of success and a strong support, otherwise the peace threatened in the region as a whole.", "again, this is not a constitutional issue.", "There is, of course, a very important point is the fact that we have started category four, with his approach, but we do not yet know very well if we managed to solve the problem, particularly because the Council does not wish to participate in the discussion.", "take away a vital or essential part of .", "This will depend on the university.", "I think this is one of those things where you are just out of luck.", "Secondly, it is necessary to say “not” to the concept big-bang which would like that one admits at the same time an major group of country, because that would be in conflict with the principle of the admission of each country according to its merits.", "So which system isn't working for us?", "a loss entailed by giving up or selling something at less than its value .", "Especially, when a unipersonal company or a company less cash than 250 paid has a project, it must be possible to be given a financing not only with one guarantee with 120%, but also on the simple basis of an good idea.", "There are a few things you need to consider:", "This is a bad idea.", "They are NOT as sovereign as they were before.", "change the inherent purpose or function of something .", "The legal reasons why public employees can unionize have been elsewhere described.", "No, it's not a good thing.", "But the economy hasn't shown signs of sustainable growth.", "It depends on your company.", "Just so long as the tax is paid.", "But it is not a good idea.", "That depends on which country you are in.", "government income due to taxation .", "We don't need a little bitty tax relief plan.", "The safeguarding of the universal service with compensation fund which would make it possible to initiate private profits for the benefit of the public service will probably failure." ]

Political disunity and gamesmanship over crime fighting and national security policy have real effects on our lives. Lack of support from the Opposition resulted in a break in the SOEs for the first four months of 2019, and an unusual spike in homicides in November, which meant that we ended 2019 approximately 3.4% higher in homicides than 2018 when we saw a record decline of 22%.\n\nWhile the SOEs have been very effective when and where we have been able to use them, we have used the space they create to build the capacity of our National Security apparatus to respond to the current level of crime and violence in the society. This Fiscal Year will see, the largest allocation of JA$5.28 Billion dollars to equip the police force with cutting-edge technology to enhance their ability to detect, record, respond and prevent crimes in the society. This year, the JCF will receive the first set of purpose-built police cars fitted with tracking devices and onboard computers. The JCF’s radio and communication system is being improved, the long talked about electronic station diary will start implementation, and police stations right across Jamaica are being refurbished, or built a new.\n\nSeveral administrative and operational improvements are being undertaken internally, greater emphasis and resources are being targeted at the investigative and intelligence capacity of the Force. While these transformational actions are not yet mature, already we are seeing the impact on the number and quality of cases being brought before the court to secure convictions. The police have over 13 major gang cases in various stages to come before the courts. Using the space created by the SOEs, the JCF and MOCA continue the long, hard and tedious work of intelligence gathering and investigations as they build cases and make arrests using regular police powers and conventional methods.\n\nYour Government recognizes the importance of social intervention in breaking the cycle of violence and crime, particularly at the community level and we intend to spend significantly on intervening in some of the social conditions underpinning crime and violence. After more than 20 years of experience with social intervention programmes, the lesson learnt is that such interventions have to occur in parallel and coordinated with security intervention. The Zones of Special Operations were designed to provide a security environment within which social intervention could be maximized. The Mount Salem and Denham Town pilot zones have been a success and this year we will have resources in place to declare other areas as Zones of Special Operations. Ultimately, we will take back Jamaica from the criminals, community by community.\n\nJamaica’s high homicide rate did not happen overnight. In the decade of the 80s; 4,870 murders were committed in Jamaica, by the decade of the 90s this increased to 7,621 murders, and by decade of the 2000s, even with the formation of various special squads and units, murders skyrocketed to 13,418. This past decade, 2010 to 2019 has seen a reduction in murders to 12,698.\n\nThe level of crime we are now experiencing is over and above the capacity of our existing security apparatus to manage. While the crime and murder numbers have grown over the past 4 decades:\n\n* successive governments have not increased the national security budget apace,\n\n* or kept abreast with technology,\n\n* or increased the number of investigators and other critical capabilities commensurately,\n\n* or effectively controlled corrupt activity in the force.\n\nIt is only in this last decade that any serious policy and legislative reforms have been undertaken and certainly within this term that serious budgetary, manpower and technological upgrades have been made. All Jamaicans should take hope that with sound policy, programmes and plans we can reduce murders, but it will take a long-term concerted and united commitment to stick with the plan.\n\nI am confident in our plan to secure Jamaica. For the first time Jamaica is engaged in building a National Security architecture fit for the times, that will deal with domestic threats, but will also deal effectively with our air and maritime space and borders, in addition to securing our cyber domain which is becoming more important as the world becomes digital. All of this cannot be done overnight or even in two years, it takes a year and a half to procure equipment, at least two years in some cases to draft and pass legislation, several years to train up a seasoned investigator and other skilled law enforcement operators. Much of this is now being done behind the scenes, and we will be intensifying our efforts to bring these reforms and investments more quickly to fruition to save more lives.\n\nThe disorder on our roads and in public spaces is now a national concern. Billions have been invested in improving our road infrastructure, which will improve connectivity, efficiency and comfort, but some among us are determined to breach all the rules of the road, disregard other road users and purvey carnage and chaos on our streets. Aside from a general socio-emotional improvement in our respect for law and order which comes from our education system and how we bring up our children, increasing the detection of violations, increasing enforcement, and securing swift convictions through the courts must be the area of focus for government policy.\n\nThe JCF has already established the Public Safety and Traffic Enforcement Branch which is still in its infancy but has been impactful. To complement their work, the government has decided to invest heavily in traffic management and traffic violation detection technology, and this year the traffic ticketing system and the enabling regulations for the new Road Traffic Act should be complete. Many more traffic offenders will be caught and ticketed and there will be no more amnesty for the foreseeable future!\n\nUltimately however, enforcement and technology have limits; whether in crime fighting or traffic enforcement. Our lasting peace and abiding order depend on how responsibly we act individually and as a people. We will never be able to have cameras and traffic police on every road to arrest every driver who decides to overtake a line of traffic in rush hour or speed dangerously on local road.\n\nHowever, if you decide to slow down and drive according to the rules of the road and wear your helmet, we can bring down the crashes for 2020, the life you save could be your own! We will never know where all the illegal guns are hidden, but someone knows and is afraid to speak. One day those guns could turn on you or your loved ones. Every Jamaican has a personal responsibility to obey the law, behave in an orderly manner and share information about the guns and criminals with the appropriate authorities or call Crime Stop. This can help to bring down the homicide rate, again the life you save could be your own.\n\nLike our security infrastructure, there have been many decades of under investment in our health infrastructure. I have toured some of our hospitals and clinics and seen first-hand the discomfort of patients and the strain on staff, particularly when there is an upsurge in illnesses as is the case with dengue.\n\nThe government is now steadily increasing investments in our health infrastructure to better serve patients with over $10B of investments planned for health facilities and over $3B dedicated to rebuilding the Cornwall Regional Hospital. We have spent approximately $2B on dengue control through environmental clean-up programmes in communities, and various public health interventions including purchasing 40 new pickups which will be deployed island-wide to conduct more regular fogging. However, like security, our health requires our personal responsibility and action.\n\nDengue is transmitted by a mosquito that breeds in our domestic surroundings. While the government has increased the collection of bulky waste that breeds the mosquito, only you can check the flowers vase to see if it has mosquito larvae in it. Only you can bore holes in the containers you discard around your house, the government cannot come inside you house everyday to see to it that water you store is covered.\n\nWe can give you the information but you have to act and take responsibility. In 2020, I encourage all Jamaicans to take personal responsibility for your health and security and fulfil your role as good citizens by cooperating with the authorities to eradicate the pests that threaten your lives. Let us know if you have breeding site near your home, allow the public health workers to fog your community, don’t stone them, likewise tell us where the guns are, tell us what you know about the criminals and together we will make Jamaica safe, secure and healthy.\n\nMany great things happened in 2019, which gives me great hope for 2020.

Photo / Getty Images\n\nThe 2010s were a turbulent, transformative and testing time for the global economy but there was not a recession.\n\nThat is extremely rare. In fact, it is the first decade in the post-world war II era without a downturn in the UK and US.\n\nA year ago many economists thought the global economy would be crawling over the line into the 2020s and would suffer a recession soon after.\n\nREAD MORE:\n\n• 'Indicators are flashing red': Warning signs recession is looming\n\n• A recession will come, but how bad will it be?\n\n• Jared Bernstein: Just how likely is a recession?\n\n• Experts warn the next recession will be 'worse than the Great Depression' and predict it will hit US within two years\n\nThe trade war had escalated at a frightening pace, Brexit was in deadlock, global factories were heading into a deep industrial recession and central banks appeared to be oblivious to the threat of a downturn. The market's most-trusted recession signal - the US Treasury yield curve - then flashed red, predicting one within 24 months.\n\nBut the mood on markets has turned on a pinhead.\n\nAn ageing, and in some parts of the world record-long, economic cycle appears to have been given a shot in the arm. City forecasters have pencilled a slight acceleration in global growth from 2019's post-financial crisis low of 3pc to 3.1pc this year and 3.2pc in 2021. What changed?\n\nThe headwinds that threatened to tip the world into the next economic crisis have waned substantially. The US and China have reached an agreement for a \"phase one\" trade deal, potentially putting a pause on the protectionist wave sweeping the globe.\n\nBoris Johnson's decisive victory in the election will not only get his Brexit deal over the line but gives him more wriggle room in the next stage of negotiations.\n\nAnd crucially central banks have moved from tightening financial conditions to cutting interest rates and ploughing more money into markets.\n\nThe Federal Reserve, the US central bank, cut borrowing costs three times this year and moved from reversing quantitative easing - its bond-buying programme - to expanding its balance sheet again. The European Central Bank has also extended its experimental policies to revive growth, cutting rates deeper into negative territory and restarting its QE programme after an ill-conceived attempt to end it a year ago.\n\nWhile many economists fret central banks will now not have the firepower to fight a recession if one does strike, the latest burst of stimulus has catapulted stock markets to new record highs. Global stocks have followed their worst year since the financial crisis in 2018 with their best, gaining 25 per cent last year.\n\nBut with growth still languishing at post-crisis lows, are investors sleepwalking into the next recession?\n\nMost Wall Street analysts have predicted that the US-China breakthrough and the Fed's policy U-turn will be enough to stave off recession.\n\nThe US became the focus of recession jitters earlier this year given its importance to global growth. When America sneezes, the rest of the world still catches a cold - even as economic powers in the east rise.\n\nHowever, Philip Marey, Rabobank's senior US strategist, warns the euphoria on markets over the trade deal has been \"overdone\", predicting the US will enter a recession in the second half of this year.\n\nThe deal struck by Beijing and the Trump administration picks the low-hanging fruit of agricultural products and rolling back tariffs but fails to tackle the key sticking points between the two countries, such as intellectual property.\n\nMarey also argues that business investment remains low and the slack left in the US economy - the resources of an economy not being used - is very small, capping the room for growth. A key risk is that business worries feed through into the jobs market and hit the confidence of consumers, whose spending accounts for around 70 per cent of US GDP.\n\nMore rate cuts from the Fed would not be able to support growth further, he argues.\n\n\"It is really ineffective in supporting business investment and that is where the real bottleneck is at the moment,\" he says.\n\n\"For businesses, interest rates are low anyway so that is not their main concern.\"\n\nThe US election in November will start to come into focus for investors, generating another source of uncertainty for businesses.\n\nSigns of a recession brewing in the US could severely dent Donald Trump's chances given the strong economy is seen as stopping his approval rating sliding any lower.\n\nFour more years of Trump will increase the risk of another trade standoff but some of his Democratic challengers are equally problematic for businesses and investors.\n\nBernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren - who are currently polling in second and third place ahead of the Democratic primaries - are two leftist populists with plans to radically redistribute wealth and take on Wall Street.\n\nCiti global chief economist Catherine Mann says uncertainty from trade and politics \"matters for the global economy\".\n\n\"The several risks that have been weighing on the global outlook have not dissipated, and there is a non-small probability that these intensify in 2020.\"\n\nWhile most investment banks believe the threat of an immediate downturn has been pushed back, she warns that the \"risk of recession still does loom over the economy\".\n\nThe relief from a prolonged and economically damaging period of uncertainty in the UK could also be brief.\n\nEven with the Brexit deadlock broken, economists expect growth in the UK to be tepid again this year, slowing further from around 1.3 to 1.1 per cent.\n\nWith the prime minister insisting on a final trade deal with the EU being agreed before the end of the year, more uncertainty could plague businesses and the UK economy. No-deal Brexit worries could return in the second half of the year.\n\nBerenberg UK economist Kallum Pickering is more optimistic, predicting that growth will hit 1.8 per cent this year after being boosted by the fiscal stimulus promised by the Conservatives.\n\n\"An orderly Brexit can lift confidence and spending in the next two years after more than three years of heightened uncertainty and gradually softening momentum,\" he says.\n\nEconomists expect much of the business investment lost over the last three years to return but estimates of how much can be lured back vary from around a quarter to a half. Some of the investment will be lost forever, however.\n\nTorsten Bell, chief executive of think tank the Resolution Foundation, warns that Britain's buoyant jobs market could turn in 2020. This could weaken the economic boost provided by record employment levels and shoppers enjoying their biggest pay rises since the last recession.\n\n\"Our best guess is that 2020 will be very different from the last few years,\" Bell says. \"We may well see a welcome return to record pay levels, but a less welcome retreat from record employment, with worrying signs including falling vacancies and rising youth unemployment.\"\n\nMeanwhile the eurozone economy is expected to be weighed down again by Germany in 2020, with the impotent ECB unable to provide much stimulus and Northern European governments refusing to boost spending.\n\nChina, which has been hit hardest in the industrial recession triggered by the trade war, is also expected to slow further. City forecasters are predicting its growth will sink below the symbolic 6 per cent mark despite Beijing's huge fiscal and monetary stimulus efforts to pep up the economy.\n\nWhile most economists believe a recession will now be avoided in 2020, the ability of policymakers and central bankers to revive growth is severely limited, if one does strike.\n\nThe world economy is facing at the very least a prolonged period of stubbornly slow growth that will be difficult to escape.\n\n- Telegraph", "pass into a specified state or condition .", "Mr. President, the Committee on Citizens and of the rights of citizens, justice and the businesses interiors prepared with much care the Karamanou report/ratio.", "\"It's a new beginning as far as the courts, Crown Prosecution Service and police are concerned, making the criminal justice system work better.\"", "\" it 's a new beginning as far as the courts , crown prosecution service and police are concerned , making the criminal justice system work better . \"", "Do you think the Austrian model '' - namely the bilateral majority decision-making - will in future an instrument to take decisions by ignoring the European institutions and to set up a new institution, or a new group, in order to get round the unanimity rule in the Council?", "Cisco executives were encouraged by $1.3 billion in cash flow and the increase in net income, but said they remained ``cautiously optimistic'' about a rebound.", "Appropriate deferments for the time, eh?", "The bulk of the bill - $64.7 billion - goes for military operations primarily in Iraq and Afghanistan.", "Thus, it is urgent that the inter-service group staff should be strengthened very quickly at the heart of the General Secretariat of the Commission, so that all proposals to act of general scope can be accompanied, during their examination by the college on the basis of Article 299(2), a detailed impact statement.", "As requested by the European Parliament in its resolution of 16 March 2000, that these initiatives the presidency of the European Council is going to take to play a more active role in order to ensure the full implementation of the UN peace plan?", "July 10 - The Bush administration's latest effort to expand the role of religious organizations in government services enlists church-based youth groups in anti-drug programs.", "july 10 - the bush administration 's latest effort to expand the role of religious organizations in government services enlists church-based youth groups in anti-drug programs .", "but they were necessary .", "The domestic stock market started the new year on a positive note after US President Donald Trump said that Phase 1 of the trade deal with China would be signed on 15 January.

The projects identified are in sectors such as power, railways, urban irrigation, mobility, education and health.\n\nMeanwhile, India's current account deficit (CAD) shrank sharply in the September quarter to $6.3 billion or 0.9% of the gross domestic product (GDP) from 2% in the preceding quarter and 2.9% in the year-ago quarter. The contraction in the CAD was primarily on account of a lower trade deficit at $38.1 billion as compared with $50 billion a year ago.\n\nIndia's fiscal deficit hit 114.8% of 2019-20 budget estimate at Rs 8.07 lakh crore at the end of November, according to the data released by the Controller General of Accounts (CGA). The country's fiscal deficit stood at Rs 7.17 lakh crore in the same period of the previous fiscal.\n\nThe fiscal deficit rose on the back of higher spending and lower revenue collection. The government has received nearly Rs 10 lakh crore, which is 48.6% of the annual target, while it incurred an expenditure of Rs 18 lakh crore, which is 65.3% of the annual target.\n\nIndia's eight infrastructure sectors shrank for the fourth straight month in November at 1.5%, though the magnitude of contraction slowed from 5.8% in October. The Eight Core Industries comprise 40.27% of the weight of items included in the Index of Industrial Production (IIP).\n\nStocks in spotlight:\n\nHDFC (up 0.84%), Infosys (up 0.70%) and HDFC Bank (up 0.60%) were the top contributors while Indusind Bank (down 1.69%) and Reliance Industries (down 0.29%) were the top drags.\n\nAdani Green Energy hit 5% upper circuit at Rs 174.80. The Adani Group company said its step down subsidiary, Adani Renewable Energy (GJ), has commissioned its 75 MW Wind Power Project having Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company (MSEDCL) at Rs 2.85/kWh for a period of 25 years. Commercial sale of power from the Project to MSEDCL is expected to commence w.e.f. 1 January 2020.\n\nSterling and Wilson Solar rose 2.86% to Rs 331.35. The company's promoters Shapoorji Pallonji and Company (SPCL) and Khurshed Daruvala have repaid Rs 1,000 crore they owed to the firm. The promoters now have to clear a balance of Rs 1,644 crore, which they intend to settle in a staggered manner by 30 September 2020.\n\nSkipper slumped 4.31% to Rs 48.90. The company said that CARE Ratings had downgraded long term rating on the company's bank facilities to BBB+ with a stable outlook, from A with a negative outlook. The revision in the ratings is on account of deterioration in the financial performance of the company in FY19 and H1 FY20 on account of weak operational performance.\n\nTitan Company fell 2.87% to Rs 1153.50. CRISIL upgraded the company's Long Term Rating to CRISIL AAA from CRISIL AA+. Short Term Ratings were reaffirmed at CRISIL A1+. CRISIL maintained a stable outlook with an expectation that the company will improve over the medium term on account of dominant market position in jewellery retail segment, aided by healthy store additions and strong financial profile. In addition, watch segment is expected to witness healthy growth while sustaining the improvement in profitability.\n\nPremier Explosives rose 0.1% at Rs 150.35. The company received a rate contract for supply of bulk loading explosives from Jaiprakash Power Ventures. The contract is for one year with an expected value of Rs 15.44 crore.\n\nMaruti Suzuki India was trading 0.47% lower at Rs 7332.40.

External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar, while addressing a press conference in the national capital Thursday, said India had made a strong demarche on the matter with the Turkish Ambassador in Delhi on Tuesday.\n\n“We do not expect such irresponsible statements from a Head of State,” Kumar was quoted as saying by PTI.\n\nLast week, the Turkish president had severely criticised India for the communal clashes in Delhi and even went on to call them “massacres of Muslims”.\n\nOn being asked UK’s junior foreign minister Nigel Adams’ comment on Delhi violence, Raveesh Kumar said the situation in the capital is fast returning to normal and that law enforcement agencies are doing their best to restore confidence and ensure that law and order is maintained.\n\n“Prime Minister has appealed for peace and brotherhood.

Photo / Getty Images\n\nThe mood of the market turned quickly at the end of last year. Photo / Getty Images\n\nThe 2010s were a turbulent, transformative and testing time for the global economy but there was not a recession.\n\nThat is extremely rare. In fact, it is the first decade in the post-world war II era without a downturn in the UK and US.\n\nA year ago many economists thought the global economy would be crawling over the line into the 2020s and would suffer a recession soon after.\n\nREAD MORE:\n\n• 'Indicators are flashing red': Warning signs recession is looming\n\n• A recession will come, but how bad will it be?\n\n• Jared Bernstein: Just how likely is a recession?\n\n• Experts warn the next recession will be 'worse than the Great Depression' and predict it will hit US within two years\n\nThe trade war had escalated at a frightening pace, Brexit was in deadlock, global factories were heading into a deep industrial recession and central banks appeared to be oblivious to the threat of a downturn. The market's most-trusted recession signal - the US Treasury yield curve - then flashed red, predicting one within 24 months.\n\nBut the mood on markets has turned on a pinhead.\n\nAn ageing, and in some parts of the world record-long, economic cycle appears to have been given a shot in the arm. City forecasters have pencilled a slight acceleration in global growth from 2019's post-financial crisis low of 3pc to 3.1pc this year and 3.2pc in 2021. What changed?\n\nThe headwinds that threatened to tip the world into the next economic crisis have waned substantially. The US and China have reached an agreement for a \"phase one\" trade deal, potentially putting a pause on the protectionist wave sweeping the globe.\n\nBoris Johnson's decisive victory in the election will not only get his Brexit deal over the line but gives him more wriggle room in the next stage of negotiations.\n\nAnd crucially central banks have moved from tightening financial conditions to cutting interest rates and ploughing more money into markets.\n\nThe Federal Reserve, the US central bank, cut borrowing costs three times this year and moved from reversing quantitative easing - its bond-buying programme - to expanding its balance sheet again. The European Central Bank has also extended its experimental policies to revive growth, cutting rates deeper into negative territory and restarting its QE programme after an ill-conceived attempt to end it a year ago.\n\nWhile many economists fret central banks will now not have the firepower to fight a recession if one does strike, the latest burst of stimulus has catapulted stock markets to new record highs. Global stocks have followed their worst year since the financial crisis in 2018 with their best, gaining 25 per cent last year.\n\nBut with growth still languishing at post-crisis lows, are investors sleepwalking into the next recession?\n\nMost Wall Street analysts have predicted that the US-China breakthrough and the Fed's policy U-turn will be enough to stave off recession.\n\nThe US became the focus of recession jitters earlier this year given its importance to global growth. When America sneezes, the rest of the world still catches a cold - even as economic powers in the east rise.\n\nHowever, Philip Marey, Rabobank's senior US strategist, warns the euphoria on markets over the trade deal has been \"overdone\", predicting the US will enter a recession in the second half of this year.\n\nThe deal struck by Beijing and the Trump administration picks the low-hanging fruit of agricultural products and rolling back tariffs but fails to tackle the key sticking points between the two countries, such as intellectual property.\n\nMarey also argues that business investment remains low and the slack left in the US economy - the resources of an economy not being used - is very small, capping the room for growth. A key risk is that business worries feed through into the jobs market and hit the confidence of consumers, whose spending accounts for around 70 per cent of US GDP.\n\nMore rate cuts from the Fed would not be able to support growth further, he argues.\n\n\"It is really ineffective in supporting business investment and that is where the real bottleneck is at the moment,\" he says.\n\n\"For businesses, interest rates are low anyway so that is not their main concern.\"\n\nThe US election in November will start to come into focus for investors, generating another source of uncertainty for businesses.\n\nSigns of a recession brewing in the US could severely dent Donald Trump's chances given the strong economy is seen as stopping his approval rating sliding any lower.\n\nFour more years of Trump will increase the risk of another trade standoff but some of his Democratic challengers are equally problematic for businesses and investors.\n\nBernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren - who are currently polling in second and third place ahead of the Democratic primaries - are two leftist populists with plans to radically redistribute wealth and take on Wall Street.\n\nCiti global chief economist Catherine Mann says uncertainty from trade and politics \"matters for the global economy\".\n\n\"The several risks that have been weighing on the global outlook have not dissipated, and there is a non-small probability that these intensify in 2020.\"\n\nWhile most investment banks believe the threat of an immediate downturn has been pushed back, she warns that the \"risk of recession still does loom over the economy\".\n\nThe relief from a prolonged and economically damaging period of uncertainty in the UK could also be brief.\n\nEven with the Brexit deadlock broken, economists expect growth in the UK to be tepid again this year, slowing further from around 1.3 to 1.1 per cent.\n\nWith the prime minister insisting on a final trade deal with the EU being agreed before the end of the year, more uncertainty could plague businesses and the UK economy. No-deal Brexit worries could return in the second half of the year.\n\nBerenberg UK economist Kallum Pickering is more optimistic, predicting that growth will hit 1.8 per cent this year after being boosted by the fiscal stimulus promised by the Conservatives.\n\n\"An orderly Brexit can lift confidence and spending in the next two years after more than three years of heightened uncertainty and gradually softening momentum,\" he says.\n\nEconomists expect much of the business investment lost over the last three years to return but estimates of how much can be lured back vary from around a quarter to a half. Some of the investment will be lost forever, however.\n\nTorsten Bell, chief executive of think tank the Resolution Foundation, warns that Britain's buoyant jobs market could turn in 2020. This could weaken the economic boost provided by record employment levels and shoppers enjoying their biggest pay rises since the last recession.\n\n\"Our best guess is that 2020 will be very different from the last few years,\" Bell says. \"We may well see a welcome return to record pay levels, but a less welcome retreat from record employment, with worrying signs including falling vacancies and rising youth unemployment.\"\n\nMeanwhile the eurozone economy is expected to be weighed down again by Germany in 2020, with the impotent ECB unable to provide much stimulus and Northern European governments refusing to boost spending.\n\nChina, which has been hit hardest in the industrial recession triggered by the trade war, is also expected to slow further. City forecasters are predicting its growth will sink below the symbolic 6 per cent mark despite Beijing's huge fiscal and monetary stimulus efforts to pep up the economy.\n\nWhile most economists believe a recession will now be avoided in 2020, the ability of policymakers and central bankers to revive growth is severely limited, if one does strike.\n\nThe world economy is facing at the very least a prolonged period of stubbornly slow growth that will be difficult to escape.\n\n- Telegraph", "depending on which action furthers their lonny-tunes agenda.", "cause to move back and forth .", "CLUNKER: Buttigieg bundler pushed “Cash for Fatties” federal proposal.\n\nJust when the commotion caused by a top bundler for Pete Buttigieg was fading from political conversations, another problematic bundler has been exposed.

Wednesday marked the 28th consecutive day of union-led strikes that have hobbled France’s much-vaunted train network and have made getting around Paris into an odyssey, with Metro lines mostly closed or spotty.\n\nUnions are gearing up for further walkouts next week, when schools reopen following a Christmas/New Year break and negotiations are set to resume with Macron’s government.\n\n“There needs to be strikes everywhere,” said Philippe Martinez, general secretary of the CGT union. “We call on all French people to mobilize, to demonstrate and to strike. My message is clear.”\n\n“That is the only way that they can understand us,” he said.\n\nIn his televised address on Tuesday evening as revelers were celebrating the new decade’s birth, Macron said the pension overhaul “will be carried out” but called on his government to “find the path of a quick compromise” with unions.\n\nMacron stayed firm on the principles of the reform, including its most decried measure: raising the eligibility age for full pensions from 62 to 64. He insisted the new system will be fairer and financially sustainable.\n\n“My only compass is our country’s interest,” he said.\n\nThe start of 2020 was the second New Year celebration in a row where Macron has faced social upheaval.

In 2020, the company will no longer take advantage of the so-called “Double Irish” and “Dutch sandwich” loopholes, which allowed it and countless other corporations to shift money from Ireland to the Netherlands and Bermuda, sheltering billions from taxes in the process.\n\nThe move comes as regulations aimed at changing how companies skirt taxes take effect in both the US and Ireland. Previously, multinational organizations like Google were able to use a network of affiliate organizations located in Ireland, the Netherlands, and Bermuda to collect and hold money made overseas, thanks in large part to lenient Irish tax laws.\n\nGoogle used companies in Ireland, the Netherlands, and Bermuda to collect and hold money earned overseas\n\nThe name comes from the strategy of moving money from an Irish subsidiary to a Dutch holding company, and then back to an Irish shell company located in Bermuda that has the rights to license Google intellectual property, thus the “Dutch sandwich” in between. Bermuda has no corporate income tax, making it a lucrative final stop to report income. The whole process effectively avoids paying US income tax and European withholding taxes on overseas profits, although some money is still paid to the Irish government.\n\nIn 2014, facing mounting pressure from the EU and the US, Ireland closed these loopholes. Companies were given until 2020 to comply with the new regulations, which is why Google is just changing its tax structure now. Google continued to use the tax scheme to funnel money around the globe until the deadline. According to Reuters, the company moved $23 billion to Bermuda in 2017 alone using this tax avoidance strategy.\n\nIn the US, the Trump administration has also tried to incentivize companies to return profits to the US by lowering the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2018 allowed companies to return money made overseas to the US without facing more US taxes. These changes could prove critical for Google, which is sitting on tens of billions in overseas earnings.\n\n“We’re now simplifying our corporate structure and will license our IP from the US, not Bermuda,” a Google spokesperson told The Verge. “Including all annual and one-time income taxes over the past ten years, our global effective tax rate has been over 23%, with more than 80% of that tax due in the US.”", "In his Jan. 28 State of the Union message, Bush said, \"The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.\"", "Take a look at this:", "The other point of view, illustrated by the initial matter of the rapporteur and shared per number of Members, consists in promoting the regulations and the codes of conduct necessary to found, between insurers, the forms of mutualisation of the costs guaranteeing to all the supply of an high quality of care and to counter the risks to see developing discriminatory practices and a risk selection and customers.", "Their differences on energy and Medicare have become so pointed other members say it is embarrassing to the party.", "Neander's revised version\"?", "make less hostile ; win over .", "The company said this impacted earnings by a penny a share.", "an interpretation of a text or action .", "It's mostly a matter of taste.", "Best way to turn it on its head is to get money out.", "reimburse or compensate ( someone ) , as for a loss .", "manipulate in a fraudulent manner .", "we can also see that the french philosopher marcel gauchet entitled one recent books democracy against itself .", "You have to much intervention in free markets, not too little.", "The lesson which this Parliament in her debate of this morning must retain is that we are forced to conclude that the maritime laws are, all over the world, in a state of disorder, and that we must harness ourselves with the task to put order at it.", "Millions go on strike against Modi govt’s policies\n\nNEW DELHI/KOLKATA/ MUMBAI: Millions went on strike throughout India on Wednesday, unions said, as workers angry at the government´s labour policies brought travel chaos across the country.\n\nThe widespread action was in opposition to what unions called the \"anti-worker and anti-people policies\" of right-wing Prime Minister Narendra Modi.\n\nThey highlighted the recent privatisation of public firms and natural resources and demanded a rise in the minimum wage and pensions.\n\nFarmers and students joined some of the protests called by 10 trade unions who claim 250 million members between them. Bus and train services and state-owned banks bore the brunt of the national strike action that was staged in defiance of government warnings of \"consequences\" for anyone who took part. Protesters blocked roads and railway tracks, while those at rallies also chanted slogans against the government´s new nationality law that opponents say is anti-Muslim and has sparked widespread demonstrations.\n\nIn West Bengal state, strikers targeted railways and key highways and burned tyres on a main road in the state capital of Kolkata. Protesters carried red flags at rallies in the city.\n\nPolice said there had been some \"clashes\" in Kolkata and other districts between supporters and opponents of the strike.\n\nThe eastern states of Bihar and Odisha, Maharashtra in the west, Haryana in the north and Kerala and Karnataka in the south were also hit by the action. Some workers at state oil and coal firms joined the strike.\n\nThe government had warned strikers that they would face \"consequences\" including having wages deducted and other disciplinary action if they joined the protest. But the strike added to pressure on the Modi government already hit by widespread protests over the nationality law passed on December 11. More than 25 people have been killed in the protests. Growing unrest in universities has added to social tensions.\n\n\"The attitude of the government is that of contempt towards labour,\" said the Centre of Indian Trade Unions, one of the groups organising Wednesday´s 24-hour strike.\n\nOpposition parties have backed the strikers. Rahul Gandhi, former leader of the main opposition Congress party, said the government had \"created catastrophic unemployment\" in a Twitter message praising the action. A government´s move to privatise big state-run firms as it struggles to get out of a severe economic slowdown has riled the opposition and unions.\n\nThe government statistics office forecast on Tuesday that annual growth would slow to 5.0 percent in 2020, the slowest pace in 11 years.\n\nLast month the International Monetary Fund said the Indian government must take steps quickly to reverse the slowdown.\n\nIt said declining consumption and investment, coupled with falling tax revenue, had combined to put the brakes on what was once the fastest growing of the world´s major economies.\n\nMeanwhile, Indian police fired live rounds Wednesday to break up a protest by strikers taking part in nationwide action against government economic policies, officials said.\n\nWest Bengal was the worst hit, with police firing live rounds in the air to break up protesters who set fire to police vehicles and threw rocks at security forces in Malda district, north of the capital Kolkata, a senior police officer said. They also fired tear gas and baton-charged other protests in the eastern state, where many roads and railway lines were blocked. Police said more than 150 arrests were made.\n\nMeanwhile, a top Indian actress who joined students protesting against the government drew calls on social media on Wednesday for a boycott of her upcoming film, as well as praise for being a rare Bollywood A-lister to stand up against a crackdown on dissent.\n\nDeepika Padukone stood silently behind students chanting anti-government slogans at New Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru University on Tuesday evening, surprising many in a country where top film stars typically avoid politics. Her act of solidarity came after masked men wielding sticks and rods stormed the JNU campus on Sunday, injuring some 30 people.\n\nStudents at JNU, regarded as a left-wing bastion, have protested for months against an announced fee hike as well as a new citizenship law, which critics say discriminates against Muslims and erodes India’s secular constitution.\n\nPictures circulating online showing a solemn-faced Padukone standing behind an injured student leader, whose head was covered in a bandage, set off social media storm, raising calls for a boycott of her film “Chhapaak” (Splash), which is set to be released on Friday.", "amendment 7 proposes certain modifications in the references to paragraphs .", "voted Voted It's definitely NOT what it used to be.", "But he has continued to anger opponents with some of his comments, in 2020 telling talkRadio's Julia Hartley-Brewer he would only \"take the knee\" - go down on bended knee - for \"the Queen and the Mrs when I asked her to marry me\".", "Australia's 9 million income taxpayers received surprise tax cuts of between $3 and $11 a week from Treasurer Peter Costello last night.", "australia 's 9 million income taxpayers received surprise tax cuts of between $ 3 and $ 11 a week from treasurer peter costello last night .", "I know that in France, the principle of demolition of the whole herd was applied and that does not seem the best means of fighting this phenomenon.", "We don't need a little bitty tax relief plan.", "This is a big problem.", "each protagonist had appreciably different theories and explanations on the situation .", "provide with a new seat .", "it is appropriate that the european union is and what it implies does it quickly .", "show to be invalid .", "it has increased the power of the large countries to the detriment of small .", "in other regions , the sharia is imposed .", "the former version of the european reaction ( the desire called \" the desire of the \" ) ” .", "The legal reasons why public employees can unionize have been elsewhere described.", "the role of the head of a government department .", "This sounds a bit unusual.", "change the inherent purpose or function of something .", "make unfit or unsuitable .", "behave in a patronizing and condescending manner .", "it has appointed a working group responsible for drawing the necessary changes to bring to public expenditure and fiscal policies .", "government income due to taxation .", "This is a disgrace when we think that the European Union presents itself as the champion of the modernisation of economic life!", "Spanish dilemma gets more acute", "this point of the payment opens the door with the arbitrary one .", "They are NOT as sovereign as they were before.", "That depends on which country you are in.", "Originally Posted by zaf We in Britain think differently to Americans.", "Carney sets high bar to changes at Bank of England", "As Brexit Pulls Britain Apart, It Could Bring Ireland Back Together\n\nThe latest proposed Brexit deal is deeply unpopular in Northern Ireland, where it will require a new customs border between the island and the rest of Great Britain. That could mean tariffs.\n\nSTEVE INSKEEP, HOST:\n\nWe have a dispatch now from the not-so-United Kingdom (ph). As the U.K. prepares for Brexit, some people in Northern Ireland consider leaving the U.K. to rejoin Ireland to the south. NPR's Frank Langfitt reports from Belfast.\n\nFRANK LANGFITT, BYLINE: Leaving the EU requires Britain to create a new customs border. Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants one that divides Northern Ireland from the rest of the U.K., and that means some Northern Irish businesses will have to pay tariffs on products coming from the rest of the country, which would be a little like a company in California paying tariffs on products from Oregon.\n\n(SOUNDBITE OF MACHINE BUZZING)\n\nLANGFITT: All this has Chris Suitor rethinking how he does business with his homeland. Suitor runs Suitor Brothers. It's a menswear company in Belfast. And because of the new administrative costs, he may stop buying from the U.K. and import all his stock from the south, meaning Ireland and the European Union.\n\nCHRIS SUITOR: I'm a U.K. business. I'm a U.K. citizen. I would love to continue our U.K. relationship. But for the good of the business - if it's tariff-free and admin-free to trade North-South, I will be looking to taking my business there.\n\nLANGFITT: Suitor says Brexit is a setback for a region - or a country, as Northern Ireland is considered inside the United Kingdom - that's been making a comeback since the political violence of the 1980s.\n\nSUITOR: We were in the doldrums, in the dark ages for so long with The Troubles. Now that that's behind us in the past, this little country has flourished. I think that essence is getting lost in this whole Brexit process, which is sad.\n\nLANGFITT: The island of Ireland was partitioned nearly a century ago, dividing the North from the South.\n\n(SOUNDBITE OF EXPLOSION)\n\nLANGFITT: The Troubles pitted Catholic nationalists, who wanted to reunify the island, against Protestant unionists determined to stay a part of the U.K. More than 3,600 people died in the conflict, including 13-year-old Leanne Murray, who was killed by an IRA bomb blast in 1993.\n\n(CROSSTALK)\n\nLANGFITT: Her brother, Gary, was on the Shankill Road, which back then was home to many Protestant gunmen, when he heard the explosion.\n\nGARY MURRAY: So I then run straight back there into the rubble. And I started digging the best way I could, looking for my sister. It was pandemonium. Like, you know, everybody was searching, and nobody could find her.\n\nLANGFITT: If Brexit draws the North into Ireland's economic orbit, Gary Murray worries that people loyal to Britain will take up arms.\n\nMURRAY: It's really frightening people because the way things can turn. Rumors are that trouble can be started all over again. I certainly don't want that after what I've been through.\n\nLANGFITT: What's your greatest fear?\n\nMURRAY: Going back to The Troubles.\n\nLANGFITT: This is Shankill Road. And today, people are out walking around shopping. But every couple of blocks, what's so striking is you see a memorial to the dead from The Troubles. Right now, I'm looking up at a big archway and a big marble stone that says, in memory of five innocent Protestants slaughtered by IRA gunmen who came and blew up and shot up a bar in 1975.\n\n(CROSSTALK)\n\nLANGFITT: Gordon Young (ph) is shooting pool at WAVE Trauma Centre, which supports victims and survivors of the troubles. He says, by backing customs board if it splits the country, Boris Johnson is selling out Northern Ireland.\n\nGORDON YOUNG: The British - the Protestant people will not accept it. The English should be ashamed of themselves for even voting on this thing because we're part of the United Kingdom, and that's where we belong.\n\nLANGFITT: How did you feel when you first heard about the deal personally?\n\nYOUNG: I felt let down completely. I'm a Protestant. I'm a unionist. I believe in the United Kingdom.\n\nLANGFITT: Some people are concerned...\n\nYOUNG: About the Good Friday Agreement?\n\nLANGFITT: Well - and just also about reunification eventually.\n\nYOUNG: No, there won't be no unification, that's one thing for sure. There will be a lot of blood spilt before then.\n\nLANGFITT: The Good Friday Agreement brought peace to Northern Ireland in 1998. And because the North was in both the EU and the United Kingdom, there was no need for a border. Most people in Northern Ireland wanted to keep it that way and voted against Brexit. Duncan Morrow teaches politics at Ulster University in Belfast.\n\nDUNCAN MORROW: The problem of Brexit is that Brexit says we need borders. And borders are the opposite of what the Good Friday Agreement was about.\n\nLANGFITT: Naomi Long leads Northern Ireland's centrist Alliance Party, which draws support from both Catholics and Protestants. She says Brexit has thrust the question of reunifying the island back on the public agenda.\n\nNAOMI LONG: I didn't think I would see a united Ireland in my lifetime. I expected that it would be a generation or two before that Pandora's box was reopened. But Brexit has reopened that prematurely and at a time when, frankly, I don't think our society has matured enough to be able to have rational, logical and peaceful conversations about those issues.\n\nLANGFITT: A poll in September found a slim majority in Northern Ireland supporting reunification. A far larger majority predicted that, a decade from now, a reunification vote would pass.\n\n(APPLAUSE)\n\nLANGFITT: This has fired up Sinn Fein, one of Northern Ireland's largest parties. Once the political arm of the IRA, Sinn Fein is still bent on bringing the two Irelands together, though, now through peaceful means. Sinn Fein's John Finucane - he's the lord mayor of Belfast - spoke about reunification at a recent community meeting.\n\nJOHN FINUCANE: Not only is this possible, but I believe it's inevitable in the time ahead. Brexit is a serious direct threat to Ireland's future, political stability and economic prosperity. These changes require new thinking and a radical and innovative response.\n\nDIANE DODDS: I don't think that that is in any way a realistic prospect in the immediate or near future.\n\nLANGFITT: Diane Dodds is a member of the European Parliament with Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party, which is devoted to staying in the U.K. She says there are big barriers to reunification. For instance, Northern Ireland is one of the U.K.'s poorest regions and relies on more than $13 billion in subsidies from London each year, which, Dodds points out, the Irish government might have to finance.\n\nDODDS: The hit to the Republic of Ireland's economy - were to actually provide the same level for the same levels of services and public services in Northern Ireland - would be just, I think, beyond anything that they could actually manage with.\n\nLANGFITT: Which raises the question, would people in Ireland back reunification once they considered the cost? It's unclear how all of this will play out, but Naomi Long of the Alliance Party isn't optimistic.\n\nLONG: I think we will be a poorer place as a result of Brexit. I think we will be a more unstable place politically. I think that Northern Ireland's future within the U.K. is less certain than it has ever been, certainly in my lifetime.\n\nLANGFITT: All because of a referendum more than three years ago that most people in Northern Ireland voted against.\n\nFrank Langfitt, NPR News, Belfast.\n\n(SOUNDBITE OF RELEASE THE LONG SHIPS' \"TURNED INTO A DEER\")\n\nCopyright © 2019 NPR.

The document announces the 24 cities, and states that the details of how this will be established and operate will be worked out by the provincial governments.\n\nAccording to the approval document, the new pilot zones should replicate and promote successful practices adopted by the existing three batches of e-commerce zones and introduce exemptions on value-added tax and consumption tax for retail and exported goods.\n\nThe 24 cities are – Shijiazhuang, Taiyuan, Chifeng, Fushun, Hunchun, Suifenhe, Xuzhou, Nantong, Wenzhou, Shaoxing, Wuhu, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Ganzhou, Jinan, Yantai, Luoyang, Huangshi, Yueyang, Shantong, Foshan, Luzhou, Haidong, and Yinchuan.\n\nThe document is a preliminary announcement and a broad-strokes plan for how these trial zones will be constructed and replicated across the country, with guidance for each provincial government to follow when implementing its own specific measures. More details are expected to follow.\n\nThe document itself only alludes to trial related policies on “value-added tax and consumption tax exemption for cross-border e-commerce retail exports, promoting industrial transformation, upgrading and actively carry out exploration and innovation, brand building, and promoting international trade liberalization and convenience.”\n\nHowever, in October 2019, the State Taxation Administration passed a new corporate tax policy for enterprises within these pilot zones, starting from January 1, 2020. This will likely apply to the 24 cities mentioned above.\n\nAccording to the document:\n\nCross-border e-commerce enterprises subject to tax assessment and collection within the comprehensive pilot zone shall accurately calculate their total revenues, on which corporate income tax will be levied upon assessment at the taxable income rate. The taxable income tax rate shall be four percent.\n\nWhere a cross-border e-commerce enterprise subject to the levy upon assessment of income tax in a comprehensive pilot zone meets the conditions for preferential policies for small low-profit enterprises, it may enjoy the preferential income tax policies for small low-profit enterprises;\n\nIf the income obtained by it is tax-free income specified in Article 26 of the Corporate Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China, it may enjoy the preferential policies for tax-free income.\n\nBased on the 35 pilot cross-border e-commerce zones that have previously been established, it is likely that these cross-border zones will adopt similar regulations, including allowing companies to enjoy benefits, such as tax rebates, government support to set up e-commerce platforms, and international logistic services.", "estimate the value of .", "Egyptians go to polls in historic election", "this point of the payment opens the door with the arbitrary one .", "The product can be instructed to permit business-only use, according to Sendmail.", "It's official: Deal reached on \"fiscal cliff\"", "Brian Halla, CEO of NatSemi, claimed the deal made sense for both companies.", "brian halla , ceo of natsemi , claimed the deal made sense for both companies .", "As requested by the European Parliament in its resolution of 16 March 2000, that these initiatives the presidency of the European Council is going to take to play a more active role in order to ensure the full implementation of the UN peace plan?", "This House but also fought so that this reduction in funds allocated to the innovative actions is offset by the use of framework of flexibility, as defined in a statement on the financial perspective.", "I find exemplary that France will be to take this step.", "Joachim Gauck elected as German president", "report maij-weggen ( a5-0323 / 2000 )", "Negotiators reach deal on Congress payroll tax cut bill", "make a logical or causal connection .", "(B5-0794 / 2000, by Mr Medina Ortega, Linkohr and Mr Fava, on behalf of the Group of the Party of European Socialists, on the abduction by Colombia of a Spanish Jesuit engaged in negotiations with the guerrilla movement.", "We don't need a little bitty tax relief plan.", "any accounting period of 12 months .", "transporting goods commercially at rates cheaper than express rates .", "pass into a specified state or condition .", "the act of granting rights .", "Your opinions matter to us times;\n\nFeedback 0 / 5", "It is gratifying that Parliament has managed to gather a large majority in favour of greater transparency.", "That is why I also believe that this reconciliation can take; however, the government, which has very courageously found a solution to the issue of universities and many other problems, needs visible signs of success and a strong support, otherwise the peace threatened in the region as a whole.", "Madam the President, I ask you, in the name of my colleagues in the Committee on Fisheries and in my proper name, to send a message of sympathy on behalf of the Parliament to the families of the victims and to the local authorities both of Brittany and of Marín, town of Galicia, from where are originating the majority in the victims.", "Nevertheless I would wish to say to the Parliament this afternoon that we should not lose sight of the fact the fact that the European Union spends only 1% of the GDP of the Member States and that the largest part of this money is managed in the Member States.", "In view of the criticism, especially those in Ireland and France, the Chancellor of the Exchequer has given a new interpretation: it is now a tax for all users, including the British lorry drivers.", "A dear friend from Ohio sent me this.", "Putin claims victory in presidential vote", "Greece to vote on 2013 budget", "That is what we have done: we avoided a budgetary crisis back to Article 272, the financial perspective has been maintained, even if we use the flexibility instrument.", "Just so long as the tax is paid.", "\"I´m very proud of the citizens of this state,\" Gov.

Since Monday, seven people have died as destructive wildfires tore through communities in New South Wales and Victoria on Australia's southeast coast.\n\nOn Tuesday morning, 4,000 people in the coastal town of Mallacoota fled to the shore as winds pushed a fire toward their homes under a sky darkened by smoke and turned blood-red by flames. Stranded residents and vacationers slept in their cars, and gas stations and surf clubs transformed into evacuation areas. Dozens of homes burned before winds changed direction late Tuesday, sparing the rest of the town.\n\nVictoria Emergency Commissioner Andrew Crisp told reporters the Australian Defense Force was moving naval assets to Mallacoota on a supply mission that would last two weeks and helicopters would also fly in more firefighters since roads were inaccessible.\n\nConditions cooled Wednesday, but the fire danger remained very high across the state, where four people are missing.\n\n\"We have three months of hot weather to come. We do have a dynamic and a dangerous fire situation across the state,\" Crisp said.\n\nIn the New South Wales town of Conjola Park, 50 properties were confirmed destroyed and cars were melted by Tuesday's fires. More than 100 fires were still burning in the state Wednesday, though none were at an emergency level. Seven people have died this week, including a volunteer firefighter, a man found in a burned-out car and a father and son who died in their house. Two people in New South Wales are missing.\n\nNew South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian said firefighting crews would take advantage of easing conditions Wednesday to restore power to critical infrastructure and conduct some back burning.\n\nClimate change debate\n\nThe early and devastating start to Australia's summer wildfires has led authorities to call this season the worst on record and reignited debate about whether Prime Minister Scott Morrison's conservative government has taken enough action on climate change. Australia is the world's largest exporter of coal and liquefied natural gas, but Morrison rejected calls last month to downsize Australia's lucrative coal industry.\n\nMorrison won a surprise third term in May. Among his government's pledges was to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 26% to 28% by 2030, a modest figure compared to the center-left opposition Labor party's pledge of 45%.\n\nThe leader of the minor Australian Greens party, Richard Di Natale, demanded a royal commission, the nation's highest form of inquiry, on the wildfire crisis.\n\n\"If he (Morrison) refuses to do so, we will be moving for a parliamentary commission of inquiry with royal commissionlike powers as soon as parliament returns,\" Di Natale said in a statement.\n\nAbout 5 million hectares (12.35 million acres) of land have burned nationwide over the past few months, with 15 people confirmed dead and more than 1,000 homes destroyed.\n\nFireworks go on\n\nSome communities canceled New Year's fireworks celebrations, but Sydney's popular display over its iconic harbor controversially went ahead in front of more than a million revelers. The city was granted an exemption to a total fireworks ban in place there and elsewhere to prevent new wildfires.\n\nSmoke from the wildfires meant Canberra, the nation's capital, Wednesday had air quality more than 21 times the hazardous rating to be reportedly the worst in the world.\n\nThe smoke has also wafted across the Tasman Sea and into New Zealand.", "I don't think there is a single definition.", "A large boat on the sea.", "In the debate is closed.", "There are serious fears for 17 people missing in a massive and deadly bushfire in the Australian state of Victoria.\n\nHuge bushfires have been burning for weeks across the country, with new blazes sparked into life almost daily by extremely hot and windy conditions in bushland left tinder dry after a three-year drought. Military moves in to help mass evacuation Fuelled by searing temperatures and high winds, more than 200 fires were now burning across the southeastern states of New South Wales and Victoria, threatening several towns.\n\nVictoria's Premier Daniel Andrews told reporters on Thursday that none of the 17 people missing in the East Gippsland region were emergency services personnel.\n\nThe increased number comes after family members confirmed Buchan man Mick Roberts had died at his home.\n\n\"There are at least 17 people that at this stage we cannot account for. Their whereabouts are unknown to us, plus there is one person confirmed as deceased,\" Mr Andrews told reporters at Bairnsdale.\n\n\"Whilst Victoria Police have not been through the official identification processes, it is clear that the Roberts family have identified Mr Roberts and we send our condolences to their family and the Buchan community to whom he was so well-known and very highly regarded.\"\n\nMr Andrews did not narrow down what communities of East Gippsland the missing people are from.\n\n\"It may be some of those people are safe but we hold very significant fears for the welfare of anybody who is missing at this time,\" he said.\n\nThe military has arrived to get fire victims across the region relief and resources, and also off the beach at Mallacoota.\n\nAbout 24 communities are isolated and reaching them to deliver supplies have been difficult.\n\nPrime Minister Scott Morrison said the federal government was offering any assistance requested.\n\n\"Our task has been to fully support and provide whatever assistance is necessary through all the various agencies of the Commonwealth,\" he told reporters in Sydney.\n\n\"The provision of disaster payments that have now exceeded some more than $21 million in New South Wales alone and we expect more of that to continue in Victoria as the full devastation of the fires there becomes more evident.\"\n\nAll fires in Victoria are currently sitting no higher than a watch and act alert, but smoky conditions have meant flights to rescue people, deliver supplies and swap out firefighters have at times been stopped.\n\nFirefighters are being helped on Thursday by moderate conditions, with temperatures in East Gippsland in the low to mid 20s expected to be paired with fairly light winds of up to 20 km/h.\n\nBut the mercury is forecast to creep up in the region on Friday, before reaching the 40s on Saturday, when the heat, hot winds and possible thunderstorms will increase the risk of new fires.\n\nPeople near the Corryong fire in Victoria's northeast near the NSW border are being doorknocked and told to get out of the region before the weekend.", "I don't see why this could be a problem.", "fool or hoax .", "Thousands of tourists and locals were left stranded on a beach in southeast Australia on Tuesday as bushfires ravaged a popular tourist area, leaving no escape by land.\n\nAs the Epoch Times’ Katabella Roberts reports, up to 4,000 people are trapped on the foreshore of the encircled seaside town of Mallacoota, in the East Gippsland region of Victoria, where authorities said nearby fires were manifesting extreme self-generating thunderstorms and “ember attacks.”\n\nOn Monday, Victoria’s Emergency Management Commissioner, Andrew Crisp, told residents and holidaymakers to leave the area by 9 a.m. or risk being stranded.\n\nHowever, in a later update he said it was now “too late” to get out of the area safely.\n\nThe crew from Fire and Rescue NSW Station 509 Wyoming recorded this video showing the moment their truck was overrun by the bushfire burning South of Nowra.

(He spoke to The Associated Press on condition that he be identified only by his first name and rank, in accordance with the rules of his branch of the French military.) \"Since there is no Internet, no radio and no television on board, the only news you get comes from messages received by the commander, and the commander filters the messages to not give all of the information to everyone.\"\n\nFour French ballistic submarines, laden with 16 missiles can each carry six nuclear warheads, left harbor before France instituted a nationwide lockdown on March 17.\n\nAdm. Dominique Salles, who commanded the nuclear-armed French submarine \"L'Inflexible,\" told the AP he believes submariners will likely only be told of the pandemic as they head back to port, in the final two days of their mission.\n\n\"They won't know,\" Salles said. \"The boys need to be completely available for their mission.\"\n\nFrench submarine missions last 60 to 70 days, with about 110 crew members aboard. A crew that left at the end of February wouldn't be expected back before the end of April. In that case, they will return to a world changed by the pandemic.\n\nFRANCE EVACUATES CORONAVIRUS PATIENTS FROM SWAMPED HOSPITALS USING HIGH-SPEED TRAINS, MILITARY PLANES\n\nOn March 1, France had just 130 confirmed COVID-19 cases and two deaths. In under a month, those numbers have surged to over 40,000 sickened and 2,600 dead. For submariners, the return to land will likely be a shock.\n\nSalles said the situation now will be toughest for any crews that leave harbor in the weeks ahead, because they'll know they are leaving loved ones in the midst of the pandemic and, possibly, still living in lockdown. The French government has already extended its stay-home orders once, to April 15, and said it could do so again.\n\nSalles said he believes those crews will get regular coronavirus updates but won't be told of any family deaths until they are returning to the l'Ile Longue submarine base near Brest in Brittany.\n\nCLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP\n\n\"No matter how serious an event is, there is nothing a submariner can do about it.

Sussex Inlet man David Warner was among a group of locals who had travelled to Nowra by bus before the Princes Highway was blocked off on Tuesday. 'When we came in, everything was blue, it was all good and then 11 o'clock (there was) all these fires, smoke, sirens everywhere,' Mr Warner told AAP on Wednesday. 'I said, we're not going to get back.' Unlike those who had evacuated to Bomaderry Bowling Club, Mr Warner had nothing with him. He said those running the centre were very nice but 'none of us slept at all'. 'It was shocking,' he said. 'I will never forget this New Year's. 'It'll be stuck in my head 'til the day I die.' Near people and their pets - including dogs, cats and a tortoise - he watched Sydney's famous foreshore fireworks on a giant projection screen hanging at the front of the room as sausage sandwiches were served. 'I forgot it was New Year's actually because of all of what was going on,' Mr Warner said. Reality hit home on Wednesday as information from Sussex Inlet began filtering through the evacuation centre. The body of a yet-to-be-identified man was found about midday in a vehicle on Wandra Road. Sussex Inlet was a community where 'everyone knows everyone', Mr Warner said. 'I'm a bit upset about it because I don't know who it is, and we know a lot of people in Sussex,' he said. Crews on Wednesday built containment lines around the massive Currowan fire that impacted Sussex Inlet and other towns over a 100km stretch of the coast.

Mick Roberts had not made contact with family for more than 24 hours and on Wednesday his niece Leah Parson confirmed he had been found dead at his Buchan home. 'He's not missing anymore,' Ms Parsons wrote on the East Gippsland fire season 2019-2020 Facebook page. 'His body has been found in his house..very sad day for us to srart (sic) the year but we're a bloody tight family and we will never forget our mate and my beautiful Uncle Mick.' Victoria Police said a person had been found dead in Buchan, but the cause of his death has not yet been confirmed. Earlier on Wednesday Premier Daniel Andrews said four people were still missing, but would not say what communities in East Gippsland the people belonged to. 'Everything is being done to try and establish the whereabouts of these people,' he told reporters at the Bairnsdale incident control centre. Mr Andrews lamented reports of Mr Roberts' death. 'It is of course the worst of all news, the notion that someone has lost their life,' he told ABC Gippsland. After spending more than a day on emergency alert, the bushfire threat in East Gippsland and at Corryong in northeast Victoria was downgraded to watch and acts. More than 500,000 hectares have been burnt, after three fires in East Gippsland combined on Tuesday. The blaze at Corryong has burnt at least 109,000 hectares. The total area burnt has exceeded that of the Black Saturday bushfires of February 2009. There were more than 40 fires still burning across Victoria at 9:30pm on Wednesday with 11 at the watch and act level. The risk of flare-ups elsewhere remains. Conditions are expected to worsen on Saturday and dry lightning has continued to spark new fires. Mr Andrews spent Wednesday in East Gippsland where he said emotions were running high. 'I spoke with people today and they just said it was hurricane-like, horrifying, terrifying, the most frightening experience of their life.' 'The next few days are going to be a lot of hard work and the next few months will be a very long and steady process of helping these communities to rebuild,' the premier said. So far, confirmed property losses are 24 structures at Buchan, 19 at Sarsfield, 10 at Mallacoota and up to 15 at Cudgewa. Power has been cut to more than 7000 properties at East Gippsland and more than 1800 in the northeast. AusNet said it could take days to restore power because it was unsafe to attend and assess the extent of damage. Phones remain cut across much of the region and people are struggling to communicate with loved ones and get the latest information on the fire risk. A boil water notice was put in place for Mallacoota, an isolated coastal holiday town near the NSW border, from Tuesday to reduce public health risks. A NSW police boat brought in water to Mallacoota on Tuesday and a Victoria water police boat is taking 1.6 tonnes of water on Wednesday. A barge from Melbourne with two weeks' supply of food, water and fuel is also making its way to the town. After a request from the premier on Tuesday, military personnel have begun helping with the relief effort, including undertaking rapid damage assessments. Aircraft including Black Hawk helicopters are expected to land in the east of the state on Wednesday with other aircraft and naval vessels due in coming days to move people out of the area. Naval vessels including HMAS Choules left Sydney bound for the East Gippsland coast on Tuesday evening and training vessel MV Sycamore has also been deployed.

The recent deaths include dairy farmer Patrick Salway, 29, and his father Robert, 63, who died trying to save their property in Cobargo, near Bega. A 70-year-old man was found dead outside a home at Yatte Yattah, west of Lake Conjola, on Tuesday night, while another man's body was found in a burnt vehicle on a road off the Princes Highway at Yatte Yattah Wednesday morning. The body of a man was found in a vehicle on Wandra Road at Sussex Inlet about 11.30am Wednesday but is yet to be formally identified, while a seventh body was found outside a home Coolagolite, about 10km east of Cobargo, on Wednesday. Beloved great-grandfather Mick Roberts, 67, from Buchan, in East Gippsland, was found dead at his home on Wednesday morning. On Sunday, young father and volunteer firefighter Samuel McPaul, 28, was fighting a blaze in Jingellic, in Green Valley, about 70km east of Albury on the border of NSW and Victoria, when the truck he was in rolled, killing him instantly. Two other firefighters died on December 19 after a tree fell on their truck while they were travelling through Buxton, south of Sydney. Andrew O'Dwyer, 36, and Geoffrey Keaton, 32, were later named as the volunteers involved in the tragic accident the following day. Both men were young fathers and had volunteered with the Horsley Park Rural Fire Service brigade for more than a decade. Two people also died in South Australian fires before Christmas, including 69-year-old engineer Ron Selth. His body was found in his Charleston home, which was destroyed by the Cudlee Creek blaze on December 21. Another person died in a fiery car crash on the same day. In early November, just weeks into the horror fire season which has been baring down on the nation for months, three people perished in northern NSW. George Nole's body was found in a burnt out car near his home in Glen Innes while 63-year-old Julie Fletcher's body was pulled from a scorched building in Johns River, north of Taree. Vivian Chaplain, a 69-year-old woman from Wytaliba, succumbed to her injuries in hospital after attempting in vain to save her home and animals from the blaze. The fourth victim was named just days later as 58-year-old Barry Parsons. His body was discovered in bushland on the southern end of the Kyuna Track at Willawarrin, near Kempsey, on November 13. 77-year-old Bob Lindsey and 68-year-old Gwen Hyde were found in their burned out property on October 9th.

Earlier in the day, ICMR had confirmed that there is no community transmission of the Covid-19 virus yet. The development comes after ICMR tested 826 cases to check if there is any community transmission of the virus and found the results to be negative.\n\nThe ICMR is said to have shared details of the same with the Central government on Thursday. Had the results turned positive, it would have been a serious concern nationwide as other nations such as Italy, France, Iran are bearing the brunt of the community transmission of the virus leading to lockdown in their respective countries.\n\nThe high-level meeting is being attended by ICMR Director-General Dr Balram Bhargava and All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) director Randeep Guleria. It is also reported that discussions about community transmission are being held.\n\nREAD: 'No evidence of community transmission in India so far': ICMR on Coronavirus outbreak\n\nGovernment measures\n\nThe government has announced numerous measures to combat the deadly virus. Thermal screening is being carried out at airports across the country. The Ministry has deployed around 30,000 - 35,000 personnel on community surveillance keeping a close watch.\n\nThe government has also allowed private testing facilities to test patients for Coronavirus, besides the already functional government testing facilities. Schools and other educational institutions, malls, cinema halls, pubs, gyms and swimming pools have been shut down in order to prevent the spread of the virus. Also, religious and spiritual places of pilgrimage and worship such as Vaishnodevi, Shirdi's Saibaba temple and Mumbai's Siddhivinayak temple among others have been shut down.\n\nREAD: Change in temp will not impact coronavirus spread: ICMR chief\n\nThe Coronavirus crisis\n\nFirst detected in Wuhan in December 2019, COVID-19- the novel Coronavirus has affected nearly 173 countries in the world and one international conveyance-- the Diamond Princess cruise ship harboured in Yokohama, Japan. Presently, there are around 219,087 confirmed cases of COVID-19 which has led to the death of around 8,961 people. As there is no vaccine or specific antiviral medicine to treat COVID-19 yet, countries have been grappling with all possible mechanisms to contain its scope. So far, China, South Korea, Italy, and Iran have witnessed the most number of confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus.\n\nOn March 19, the total number of positive cases in India has reached 182. The maximum cases of the virus have been reported in Maharashtra and Kerala. The third death was reported in India on Tuesday in Mumbai's Kasturba Hospital. Earlier, two deaths were reported in Kalaburgi and West Delhi.\n\nThe Centre has “strongly advised” Indians to avoid all non-essential travel abroad. The government is also monitoring all suspected cases and has issued preventive advisories. Earlier on Saturday, the Central government decided to treat the deadly virus as a \"notified disaster\", and has since issued even more advisories and travel restrictions.\n\nREAD: 'India has reached

discouragement and selfishness,” he said, whiles delivering a sermon during the watchnight service to usher in the New Year.\n\nElder Antwi said right attitudes such as encouraging one another, loyalty, discipline and hard work devoid of corruption, should be the attitude of every citizen in the coming year.\n\nThe watchnight saw church members mostly clad in white outfits singing and dancing to glorify God for His love, mercies and for a successful year.\n\nThey also prayed to God for forgiveness of their shortcomings and for a better life in 2020.\n\nWith the message on the theme: “You Can; take the Can’t Out of Your Life”, Elder Antwi said Christians should focus on the positives of life rather than dwell on the negatives.\n\nHe urged them to overcome all challenges that they would be confronted with in order to better their lives and contribute their quota to the development of the nation.\n\n“Even in difficult situations be assured that you can do all things through Christ who is your strength, let that be your slogan throughout the year”, Elder Antwi said.\n\nHe said no nation can develop if its citizens do not possess a positive attitude and commitment to the national development agenda.\n\nElder Antwi said there is the need for a change of mind-set and attitude for all Ghanaians, not only to promote their personal development, but sustainable development and prosperity of the country as well.\n\nHe advised all especially the youth to demonstrate a ‘Yes I Can’ attitude, godly and devoted lifestyles as the year begins in order to foster

In the last twelve months, Illinois became the eleventh state to legalize recreational marijuana use by adult[1] and several other jurisdictions passed or modified their existing laws governing marijuana and the workplace. Below is a summary of this year’s developments and some thoughts about what 2020 might bring.\n\nIllinois Legalizes Recreational Marijuana Use\n\nOn June 25, 2019, Governor Pritzker signed the Illinois’ Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act into law, legalizing the use and possession of marijuana for adults age 21 or older starting January 1, 2020. The law, since modified, includes extensive workplace protections for employers, permitting employers to enforce drug free workplace policies—including random drug testing—and discipline or terminate employees who violate those policies, so long as those policies are applied in a nondiscriminatory manner. Employers are also shielded from liability for taking adverse actions against an employee based on the employer’s good faith belief that the employee is impaired or under the influence of marijuana while at work.\n\nAfter enactment, questions arose as to whether Illinois employers who drug test their employees risked running afoul of the state’s Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act, which prohibits workplace discrimination based on an employee’s off-site and off-duty use of a “lawful product.” Fortunately, the Illinois legislature subsequently passed an amendment to clarify that employers may take adverse action against employees or rescind offers to applicants who fail a drug test conducted pursuant to an employer’s reasonable policy.\n\nDespite the amended law’s added protections for employers, employees nonetheless may have a private right of action for a bad faith termination of employment. In addition, the amendments do not expressly address the question of whether an employer has a duty to accommodate an employee who provides a medical marijuana card or note from a doctor.\n\nExpanded Workplace Protections for Marijuana Use\n\nEmployers should also be aware of the states and cities that provided new protections for marijuana users in 2019. New Mexico and Oklahoma each passed legislation that prohibits employers from discriminating against employees because of their status as registered medical marijuana users; however, the Oklahoma law does provide an exception for safety-sensitive jobs and for situations which the employee possesses, consumes or is under the influence of marijuana at work.\n\nIn Nevada, a new law taking effect on January 1, 2020, prevents employers from failing or refusing to hire an applicant because the applicant tests positive for marijuana. Perhaps not surprisingly, New York City went one step further when it passed an Int. 1445-A, barring most employers from conducting any pre-employment testing for marijuana or THC. The ordinance provides several exceptions to allow drug testing of applicants for safety-related positions, transport-related positions, caregivers, and certain federal contractors.\n\nSimilarly, New Jersey now prohibits employers from disciplining or terminating an employee solely based on that individual’s status as a registered medical marijuana user. While the law does not prevent employers from prohibiting or disciplining employees from using marijuana during work hours or on workplace premises, Garden State employers with a drug testing policy are required to offer employees and applicants who test positive the opportunity to explain the positive result.\n\nLooking Ahead to 2020\n\nGiven the recent trends, employers should expect another wave of marijuana legislation in the coming year. Indeed, several states, such as Florida, Indiana, and Massachusetts are already considering bills that would prohibit discrimination against medical marijuana users and potentially eliminate most workplace drug testing for marijuana and THC. After coming close to passing legal recreational marijuana in the prior legislative sessions, New York and New Jersey will likely see another push in the coming year. New Jersey is slated to consider a ballot-initiative in a push to let voters decide whether to legalize adult-use recreational marijuana.\n\nEmployers should also be aware of potential federal action relating to marijuana. In June, the U.S. House of Representatives approved an amendment prohibiting the Department of Justice from using appropriated funds to interfere with state-legal marijuana programs. The House passed a second major marijuana bill in September, the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act, which would protect banks and credit unions that serve cannabis businesses from being penalized under federal anti-money laundering and illicit finance laws. Finally, in November, the House Judiciary Committee approved the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act, which removes marijuana from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act and requires federal courts to expunge prior convictions for marijuana offenses. Although significant marijuana legislation is unlikely to pass the U.S. Senate in an election year, Congress’s rumblings underscore a shift in public opinion that has already and likely will continue to drive states to legislate further in this area.\n\n*****\n\n[1] While still illegal under federal law, adult recreational use of marijuana is permitted in the District of Columbia and the following states: Alaska, California, Colorado, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont and Washington.\n\nReprinted with permission from Health Employment and Labor blog.\n\nSource: Epstein Becker Green.", "You don't have to know.", "When we are faced with a potential risk, it is important to put into practice the principle of precaution.", "The other point of view, illustrated by the initial matter of the rapporteur and shared per number of Members, consists in promoting the regulations and the codes of conduct necessary to found, between insurers, the forms of mutualisation of the costs guaranteeing to all the supply of an high quality of care and to counter the risks to see developing discriminatory practices and a risk selection and customers.", "It's a good idea.", "Think of it this way.", "expose or make accessible to some action or influence .", "norms are barely comparable and even less alienable .", "What conviction would that be?", "In view of the criticism, especially those in Ireland and France, the Chancellor of the Exchequer has given a new interpretation: it is now a tax for all users, including the British lorry drivers.", "contrast with equal weight or force .", "\" biotech products , if anything , may be safer than conventional products because of all the testing , \" said robert fraley , monsanto 's executive vice president .", "\"Biotech products, if anything, may be safer than conventional products because of all the testing,\" said Robert Fraley, Monsanto's executive vice president.", "There are only three options:", "I don't see why this could be a problem.", "The product can be instructed to permit business-only use, according to Sendmail.", "resolution 1540 requires all countries to adopt laws to prevent non-state actors from manufacturing, acquiring or trafficking in nuclear, biological or chemical weapons, the materials to make them, and the missiles and other systems to deliver them.", "In my eyes, there is however nothing worse than to have to inform people that a judgment delivered in their favour could be only one series of comforting words and not to have any practical consequence on their existence.", "Ridge said that no actual explosives or other harmful substances will be used.", "make less severe or strict .", "There are a few minimally-effective things you can do at the personal level.", "cause to move or operate freely within a bounded space .", "become unfit for consumption or use .", "A doctor prescribes a medicine.", "Your freedom of speech will be no more prohibited than it is today.", "That's simple logic If it wasn't bollocks it wouldn't be homeopathy.", "a single serving of a beverage .", "I AM OK WITH MEDICAL USE!!", "pass into a specified state or condition .", "Boiling eliminates only a certain class of contaminants that can make you ill.", "In general they are not considered dangerous because they rarely attack humans.", "The manufacturer has to convince the government it's safe.", "behave in a certain way .", "Nothing is stopping this thing from playing out in court.", "in a 6-3 ruling , the justices said such anti-psychotic drugs can be used only in \" limited circumstances . \"", "In a 6-3 ruling, the justices said such anti-psychotic drugs can be used only in \"limited circumstances.\"", "It is not the time to be hesitant.", "The problem is simple.", "No, it makes no difference.", "Since you have one ticket, you don't have to worry.", "allow to have .", "You don't have to worry.", "give entirely to a specific person , activity , or cause .", "refrain from harming .", "unrestricted freedom to use .", "This rule can apply to all drugs récréationnelles provided that the consumer but dangerous drugs is the only to run risks." ]
