PARIS (Reuters) - France’s opposition Socialist Party on Tuesday said it had enough support in parliament to start the process of forcing a national referendum on the government’s plan to privatize airport operator ADP, a Socialist lawmaker said. |
The next threshold that must be met for a referendum on the possible privatization of ADP is for a nationwide petition to garner 4.5 million signatories. |
The sale of all or part of the state’s 50.6 percent stake in ADP is part of the government’s strategy to cut the budget deficit and finance a long-promised 10 billion euro ($11.3 billion) innovation fund. |
In March, the National Assembly, where Macron’s En Marche party holds a strong majority, approved draft legislation for the possible privatization of ADP, lottery operator Francaise des Jeux and for a reduction in France’s stake in utility Engie. |
The bill was then rejected by the opposition-led Senate and returns back to the lower house this week, where it will likely be definitively approved on Thursday. |
While the government would welcome the financial windfall that would be generated by the sale of its ADP stake, the move is politically delicate. Many opposition lawmakers and voters disapprove of handing control of the strategic asset to the private sector. |
Socialist member of parliament Boris Vallaud said that 197 lawmakers from both the right and left had given support to launching procedures for a referendum on the issue. Only 185 signatures were needed. |
Drafted: Second round (41st overall). |
Cook, who turns 22 this summer, was one of college football’s most dynamic running backs during his three seasons at Florida State. The two-time first-team All-America selection compiled a Seminoles-record 4,464 rushing yards and 46 touchdowns during his college career, but his 13 fumbles will be a facet of his game to... |
He was a second-team All-America at right guard in 2015 before the Buckeyes asked him to move to center. What’d he do? He earned the Rimington Award for college football’s most outstanding center last season. He made 40 consecutive starts as a three-year starter and will bolster the interior of the Vikings offensive li... |
With 10 tackles for loss and 7 ½ sacks, Johnson more than doubled his career totals during his final season with the Hawkeyes. However, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer sees Johnson (6-3, 316 pounds) more as a sturdy run defender who could help solidify the shaky interior of the defensive line. Johnson, 22, is a native of Bro... |
Gedeon joins a thin Vikings linebacker corps as the sixth man in the position room. The 6-2-inch, 244-pound ’backer led the Wolverines in tackles (15 ½ for a loss) as a senior. Gedeon also was a special teams ace at Michigan and could help replace the loss of Audie Cole. He’s the youngest of three brothers behind Alex ... |
Adams is a fast, versatile threat who could help the Vikings replace Cordarrelle Patterson in the kick return game. Aside from scoring 10 touchdowns on 90 touches (receiving and rushing), Adams averaged nearly 25 yards per kickoff return last season. He raised more than $3,000 for Experience Camps during an online fund... |
After a slow start to his college career, including a redshirt freshman year and the 2013 season derailed by a foot injury, Isidora claimed the starting right guard spot and didn’t let go for three seasons. Isidora finished his run at Miami with 39 consecutive starts, earning second-team All-ACC honors by league coache... |
Hodges is big (6-6, 257 pounds) and fast (ran a 4.57 seconds in the 40-yard dash), but he’s only three years into playing tight end. Hodges was a prized 2013 quarterback recruit for the Hokies before the coaching staff moved him to tight end, where he caught 20 touchdown passes in the past three seasons. He has the pot... |
Going Big Ten: Michigan linebacker Ben Gedeon (42 in top photo) and Northwestern defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo (7 in bottom photo) went to the Vikings in the fourth and seventh rounds. |
Coley is another experienced kick returning option after he averaged 24.3 yards on 47 career returns at Miami. He seized a full-time role last fall and led the Hurricanes with career-high marks in catches (63), receiving yards (754) and touchdown grabs (9). Coley (6-0, 195 pounds) adds even more speed to the Vikings of... |
Odenigbo (6-3, 258) is the first of his family born in the United States as the son of Nigerian immigrants. He didn’t start playing football until his sophomore year at Centerville High School near Dayton, Ohio. His 23 ½ sacks ranks second all-time in Northwestern program history. |
Transitioned from a defensive end in high school to linebacker, where Lee (6-3, 228 pounds) was named first-team All-Big 12 as a junior last fall. He led the Wildcats with 110 tackles (6 ½ for a loss) in 2016. Lee appeared in 35 games during three seasons at Kansas State. |
Tocho was a team captain and starter for the Wolfpack last season, when he finished with two interceptions and nine pass deflections. At 6-foot and 202 pounds, Tocho is an experienced press cornerback whose 21 bench press reps were the second most at the combine. Tocho is the son of Kenyan immigrants and native of Char... |
'Law and order' means one thing. |
On a cold gray rain-soaked morning 72 hours before Donald Trump was to assume the presidency, Chris Hayes was recognized just outside his old Bronx apartment. The streets around the building were near deserted, the former Bronx reservoir turned public park empty, save for the heartiest of dog-walkers. A random passerby... |
Hayes took cover at Mar Y Tierra on Bainbridge Ave., a Dominican diner formerly home to the Greentree, an Irish pub where the Hayes family always celebrated important occasions back when Norwood was a primary Bronx landing spot from the Emerald Isle. The rising MSNBC star was back in his old neighborhood to talk about ... |
"I felt I had a somewhat unique perspective insofar as covering places like Baltimore and Ferguson now, while also having grown up in New York City in the '80s and '90s, when it was a laboratory where a lot of these policies were workshopped," Hayes says. "I became obsessed with the idea of law and order, but mostly th... |
"I became obsessed with the idea of law and order, but mostly the second half. What does order mean?" |
In writing the book, Hayes was able to expand upon and go deeper on ideas he's been considering for years and discussing on MSNBC throughout Barack Obama's second term. A Colony in a Nation joins a slew of other recent well-received books examining the connective tissue between poverty, policing, and the criminal justi... |
Hayes was born in the Bronx in 1979 and came of age in Rudy Giuliani's New York City, but not in the Bronx of KRS-One or Larry Davis. His father Roger left the Jesuit seminary after moving into their Norwood apartment building and meeting Geri, who still lived with her parents. Roger waved the priesthood goodbye, got m... |
Three years after Hayes was born, two prime underpinnings of the law-and-order initiatives to come took place. The first was the Atlantic publication of the famous "broken windows" theory, introduced by George L. Kelling and James Q. Wilson, part of a late 1970s foot-patrol experiment, primarily in Newark, New Jersey, ... |
Foot patrols did have positive effects: Morale and job satisfaction went up among the officers and people in the patrolled areas felt safer and tended to believe crime had been reduced. Over time, the idea that eliminating disorder, whether it be urban blight (broken windows, graffiti) or petty offenses (public intoxic... |
"Harlem was still very poor—the waves of extreme gentrification hadn't hit yet, and from the age of 12 to 15, my friends and I were constantly getting our stuff jacked," Hayes says. "Kids would run your loot, your Starter hat, your North Face jacket, grab your backpack if you set it down, and there were testy confronta... |
While it was certainly the case that young black men were much more likely to be victims of violent crime in the 80s and 90s (see also: today), Hayes was hardly alone in his fears—warranted and not. Crime dominated local news coverage, the ongoing collective conversation, and many a New Yorker's psyche. Aesthetically, ... |
A Colony in a Nation primarily looks at the concept as it has played out during Hayes's lifetime, from growing up in New York City's "Who Shot Ya?"heyday through his ground-level reporting from the recent uprisings following fatal police confrontations. The book is neither jeremiad nor prescription, but rather a thorou... |
At the height of the stop-and-frisk era, Hayes was living in Chicago. That's where he honed his post-Ivy League reporting chops at publications like The Chicago Reader and In These Times. It's Roger's hometown, and as a boy, Chris absorbed his dad's Windy City sports fandom. (Hence all the moon-eyed Cubs mythologizing ... |
"Every time I'd come home, it seemed like there was a party in some neighborhood we never would've gone to," he says. "Crime dropped, but in many ways it felt like the real change came when the aura of seediness fell away. Today, most of New York City is orderly to an almost comical degree." |
"Today, most of New York City is orderly to an almost comical degree." |
That includes the Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn, section where Hayes lives in today. However, even in gilded New York City 2017—where stop-and-frisk is a thing of the past, and reported 2016 crimes were down 4.1% to the lowest number ever reported in the CompStat-era—low-level marijuana arrests were up 10%. African-America... |
If there's a salacious takeaway from A Colony in a Nation, it's the probable future Breitbart headline: "Anti-Cop Liberal MSNBC Host Chris Hayes Loves Weed!" As a 21-year-old, he attended the GOP show in Philadelphia with his future wife Kate, and her longtime journalist father, Andy Shaw. Hayes forgot he had $30 worth... |
For Hayes, it was yet another privileged experience that percolated this notion of the colonies, but it didn't become fully-formed until he was in Missouri following the death of Michael Brown. Day-to-day life in Ferguson opened his eyes, and then his laptop, to communities living more like subjects than citizens. And ... |
"In Ferguson, it felt like the citizens were on their own and they were grinding along under a ridiculous municipal system for years," he says. "What was distinct, where the literalness of the colony metaphor really struck me, was this cash exploitation, using the power of policing to enforce a revenue stream. They wer... |
In 1989, when Hayes was in middle school, Trisha Meili, an investment banker out jogging in Central Park, was viciously raped, assaulted, and left for dead. Four African-American (and one Latino) juvenile males were arrested. Amidst the massive publicity the case recieved, future President of the United States Donald T... |
But despite the fact Hayes wrote this book over the course of nine months during the election cycle, Trump is only a minor factor in it. "I could have written more about Donald Trump than I did, but he isn't the first to weaponize white fear," Hayes says. "I lived through Giuliani doing the same thing. White fear is en... |
Although official White House policy has been scant, the administration takes it on faith, facts be damned, that crime is rampant in our urban wastelands, and must be stopped before our cities burn. Just recently, Sessions doubled down, calling marijuana "slightly less awful" than heroin. The war on drugs is back, and ... |
Whatever the story, Chris Hayes will be covering it. These are heady times for the ever-more-comfortable host. After a couple years of low ratings, he's found his footing. First came the 2015 Emmy, the only one taken back to 30 Rock, which was followed by a slow and steady ratings climb. All In averaged 1.6 million tot... |
"You think getting a TV show is a sports car, but it's really a sailboat," he says. "You imagine looking cool driving off, but it's learning how to sail and navigate, and often the winds don't blow in your favor. It's taken time, but I've gotten a lot better at the job." |
German security officials have stepped up measures in protests held by supporters of the PKK in Germany, especially after Roj TV's broadcasts were banned. |
Belgian authorities have announced that they will soon begin confiscating the assets of the Denmark-based Roj TV television station, one of the main propaganda tools of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), the Anatolia news agency reported yesterday. |
According to Anatolia, Belgian authorities said earlier this week that they will begin confiscating Roj TV's funds and equipment in the days ahead to collect a heavy tax fine levied on the station earlier this year. The Belgian Finance Ministry had issued the station a tax fine of around 4 million euros in late Februar... |
Belgian authorities said they will confiscate Roj TV's funds because the station has not yet taken any steps to pay the fine. "Necessary measures have been taken to prevent the station from taking its equipment to other countries to save it from being confiscated," they reportedly said. |
Roj TV is also in trouble with German authorities. An investigation launched recently into Viko Productions, which prepares programming for Roj TV, has spread panic among the station's officials. Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble banned the station's broadcasting in Germany as of June 19, and in announcing the ban t... |
Following the investigation launched into Viko Production, some Roj TV administrators resigned from their posts. Sources said they were afraid of being arrested and that they resigned despite being warned by the PKK not to leave their positions. |
German security officials have stepped up measures in protests held by supporters of the PKK in Germany, especially after Roj TV's broadcasts were banned. Demonstrators are no longer allowed to chant slogans in support of the PKK or its jailed leader, Abdullah Öcalan. They have also been prohibited from carrying Roj TV... |
Sources also said some news stories broadcast by Roj TV had drawn the ire of not only Turkish but also European terrorism experts, as the station had violated the European Convention on Cross-border Television. Terrorism experts said Roj TV targeted Turkish village guards who participated in military operations against... |
Regis Philbin and Barbara Walters: not members of the 47 percent. |
The 80-year-old, who just landed a once-a-month guest role on The Rachael Ray Show, does seem to be paying more attention to the presidential race. When we asked him about Romney’s now infamous “47 percent” video, Philbin jumped to the GOP nominee’s defense. “I think he is being treated unfairly,” Philbin told us, in a... |
