-<p dir="ltr">Thousands of people have once again hit the streets of Venezuela's capital, Caracas, in the latest rival displays for and against President <a class="InternalLink" href="https://www.aljazeera.com/topics/people/nicolas-maduro.html">Nicolas Maduro</a> amid a deepening political crisis.</p> |
|
| 11 |
-<p dir="ltr">As a major blackout continued affecting much of the country for a third day, anti-government protesters on Saturday heeded the call of the Washington-backed opposition leader <a class="InternalLink" href="https://www.aljazeera.com/topics/people/juan-guaido.html">Juan Guaido</a> for renewed rallies demanding Maduro step down.</p> |
|
| 12 |
-<p dir="ltr"><span>Opposition supporters on Victoria avenue, in western Caracas, pushed against the shields of riot police, who eventually withdrew but maintained a large presence in the area.</span></p> |
|
| 13 |
-<p dir="ltr">"I am tired [of this situation]," Rosa Soriano, an opposition demonstrator, told Al Jazeera. "We can't continue like this; I lost hope before, but now I believe a change is possible."</p> |
|
| 14 |
-<p dir="ltr">Conversely, red-shirted Maduro supporters turned out for a rival rally near the Miraflores presidential palace, demanding the <a class="InternalLink" href="https://www.aljazeera.com/topics/country/united-states.html">United States</a> stop "sabotaging" and intervening in the country's internal affairs.</p> |

-<p dir="ltr"><span>"We are continuing the battle and victory over the permanent and brutal aggression against our people," Maduro wrote on Twitter.</span></p> |
|

-<p dir="ltr"><span>"Today, more than ever, we're anti-imperialists. We will never surrender!"</span></p> |

-<p dir="ltr"><span>His supporters said they wanted to let the "imperialism" forces that they were ready to defend the country.</span></p> |
|
| 21 |
-<p dir="ltr"><span>"This is a project of life and hope for Venezuelans, the message we want to send to the world is that socialism is the [only] way in the country" Anibal Figueroa 48, an employee in the ministry of education, told Al Jazeera.</span></p> |
|
| 22 |
-<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Major blackout</span></h2> |
|
| 23 |
-<p dir="ltr">The oil-rich nation fell in darkness on Thursday evening, with government critics blaming the blackout on decades of mismanagement and corruption but the ruling Socialist party saying it was an act of US sabotage.</p> |
|
| 24 |
-<p dir="ltr">On Saturday morning, power went on and off in parts of Caracas, but other parts of the country continued being without power.</p> |
|
| 25 |
-<p dir="ltr"><span>Hospitals in Caracas reported major problems over the past three days, while Julio Castro, who leads an NGO called Doctors for Health, said at least 13 people died amid the blackout. His statement could not be independently verified.</span></p> |

-<p dir="ltr"><span>Meanwhile, hundreds of passengers on Friday were left stranded after flights were cancelled at the capital's Maiquetia airport.</span></p> |
|

-<p dir="ltr"><span>In Puerto Ordaz, in southern Venezuela, people said they were struggling to deal with rising temperatures amid the blackout.</span></p> |
|
| 31 |
-<p dir="ltr"><span>"Yesterday, it was difficult to be without power," <span>a resident, who did not wish to be identified, told Al Jazeera on Saturday.</span> </span></p> |
|
| 32 |
-<p dir="ltr"><span>"We could barely rest as the temperatures were really high; we [practically] didn't sleep all night, in all darkness, and just waiting with anxiety for this problem to get solved," he added.</span></p> |
|
| 33 |
-<p dir="ltr"><span>Still, government supporters accused the anti-Maduro front of not acting fairly.</span></p> |
|
| 34 |
-<p dir="ltr"><span>"The Venezuelan opposition does not understand democracy," Ricardo Leon, editor of El Silbon Information Agency, told Al Jazeera.</span></p> |
|
| 35 |
-<p dir="ltr"><span>"When they have tried it, they have emerged winners - they even won the control of the National Assembly," he added, referring to polls in 2015.</span></p> |
|
| 36 |
-<p dir="ltr"><span>"We need to talk and through elections call for changes; we can't solve our problems by letting external powers intervene. We do not accept an interference of that type."</span></p> |

-<p dir="ltr"><span>The growing political crisis comes against the backdrop of major economic uncertainty, exacerbated by years of recession and hyperinflation and widespread shortages of food and medicine.</span></p> |
|
| 51 |
-<p dir="ltr"><span>Tensions escalated in January, when Guaido declared himself interim president and called Maduro a usurper following last year's presidential elections, which were largely boycotted by the opposition.</span></p> |
|
| 52 |
-<p class="speakable">The president, on the other hand, argues that Guaido is a puppet of Washington, dismissing his claim to the presidency as a plan from US-led external powers to control Venezuela's resources. Around 50 countries, including many Western states, have thrown their weight behind Guaido.</p> |
|
| 53 |
-<p class="speakable">US President Donald Trump, an opponent of Maduro, has said a "military option" is on the table. Opposition leaders in Venezuela have also said all options are considered, but a number of Latin American neighbours have opposed to the idea of a US intervention as a way of resolving the turmoil.</p> |
|
| 54 |
-<p class="speakable">Meanwhile, as the crisis keeps lingering, some analysts such as Javier Buenrostro argue the opposition is losing momentum internationally.</p> |
|
| 55 |
-<p>"I believe that international leaders are recognising that they rushed with this decision, and that maybe the conditions were not set for generating the change they were aiming for," Buenrostro, a professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, told Al Jazeera.</p> |
|
| 56 |
-<p>"Maybe a solution for this is for both sides to compromise. The opposition might need to accept that they can't have an 'all-or-nothing' situation. Both of them might need to reach to a middle point," he added.</p> |

-<p>A major power outage hit crisis-stricken Venezuela on Thursday, according to Reuters witnesses, a problem the government of President Nicolas Maduro quickly blamed on "sabotage" at a hydroelectric dam that provides much of the country's power.</p> |

-<h3>PDVSA declares maritime emergency: Reuters</h3> |
|
| 312 |
-<p>Venezuela's state-run oil company PDVSA declared a maritime emergency on Tuesday after German shipping firm Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM) disclosed plans to return ten tankers over unpaid fees, according to a document from the state-run firm, Reuters reports. </p> |
|
| 313 |
-<p>BSM, operator of a portion of PDVSA's tanker fleet, last month confirmed its crews would abandon the tankers Rio Arauca and Parnaso, which were held in Portugal over unpaid fees to a shipyard and port authority.</p> |
|
| 314 |
-<p>A third vessel also operated by BSM, the Icaro, separately was seised in Curacao by a group of shipping firms claiming unpaid bills from PDVSA.</p> |

-<h3>Maduro says he will defeat 'minority of opportunists and cowards'</h3> |
|
| 371 |
-<p><a class="InternalLink" href="https://www.aljazeera.com/topics/people/nicolas-maduro.html">Nicolas Maduro</a> said he would defeat a "crazed minority" determined to destabilise the country in his first public comment since Guaido returned to the country.</p> |
|
| 372 |
-<p>Maduro called on supporters to attend "anti-imperialist" demonstrations on March 9, coinciding with an opposition march announced by Guaido.</p> |
|
| 373 |
-<p>He expressed defiance towards opposition forces, belittling a "minority of opportunists and cowards" and vowing to "stop them in their tracks".</p> |
|
| 374 |
-<p>"The crazed minority continues in their bitterness. We are going to defeat them, be absolutely sure," said Maduro. </p> |
|
| 375 |
-<p><span>"We are on the right side of history," he added, using the same words previously used by Guaido referring to the opposition.</span></p> |
|
| 376 |
-<p>The president says Venezuela is a victim of a US-led economic war and accuses Guaido of leading a coup orchestrated by the American government. He has vowed the opposition leader will "face justice".</p> |
|
| 377 |
-<p>Maduro's vice president, Delcy Rodriguez, told Russian state media Guaido is "trying to seize power" upon the "direct order" of Washington.</p> |
|
| 378 |
-<h3><strong><span>US eyes new sanctions against Venezuela</span></strong></h3> |
|
| 379 |
-<p>The US is considering imposing new sanctions on Venezuela to pressure Maduro's government to give up power, US National Security Adviser John Bolton said.</p> |
|
| 380 |
-<p>"We're looking at new sanctions, new measures to tighten our grip on Maduro's financial wherewithal, to deny his regime the money that they need to stay in power," Bolton told Fox Business Network.</p> |
|
| 381 |
-<p>Maduro has described opposition to his rule as an attempted coup by the US and its allies.</p> |
|
| 382 |
-<h3>US envoy: hard to see role for Maduro in Venezuela's future</h3> |
|
| 383 |
-<p>Washington's top envoy for Venezuela, Elliott Abrams, said it was hard to see a role for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in the building of a "democratic Venezuela".</p> |
|
| 384 |
-<p>"If he wanted to build a democratic Venezuela, he had the opportunity to do so, but he did not," Abrams told reporters. "It is extremely difficult to see how he could play a positive role in a democratic election," he said, adding that it was ultimately up to Venezuelans to decide Maduro's future role.</p> |
|
| 385 |
-<p>Abrams also said that imposing US secondary sanctions against non-US citizens or entities tied to the Maduro government was "clearly a possibility", although he said a decision had not been made on taking such a step.</p> |

|
| 714 |
-<h3>Mike Pence: President Guaido, we are with you </h3> |

-<h2>'Toxic' atmosphere</h2> |
|
| 1352 |
-<p>Ebola, a deadly viral disease, broke out in North Kivu in August last year, before spreading to neighbouring Ituri province. Both provinces are wracked by intercommunal violence and unrest.</p> |
|
| 1353 |
-<p>According to the latest ministry figures, the DRC's current and worst Ebola outbreak has killed close to 600 people. </p> |

-<p>Efforts to contain the epidemic, the 10th documented in the country, have been hampered by poor security in the highly unstable region, where numerous militia groups are active.</p> |
|
| 1358 |
-<p>Health centres have repeatedly come under attack in the seven months since the breakout begun.</p> |
|
| 1359 |
-<p>On Thursday, a leading medical charity <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/03/toxic-atmosphere-undermining-drc-ebola-outbreak-response-msf-190307142358603.html">warned that efforts to tackle the outbreak were falling short</a>, accusing the DRC's authorities of failing to contain it because of an overly militarised response that was alienating patients and their families and contributing to the creation of a "toxic" atmosphere.</p> |
|
| 1360 |
-<p>Doctors Without Borders, also known by its French acronym MSF, highlighted that more than 40 percent of deaths were occurring in communities rather than in Ebola treatment centres.</p> |
|
| 1361 |
-<p><span>The charity alleged that security forces had used "coercion" while overseeing safe burials, tracking contacts and assisting with the admission of patients to treatment centres. </span></p> |

|
| 1384 |
-<p><span>"The police and the army are not involved in Ebola-response activities, and their role has never been to enforce sanitary measures," Ilunga said.</span></p> |

-<p class="speakable">At least 87 passengers in a high-speed ferry have been injured in an apparent collision with a marine animal off a Japanese island, according to coastguard officers and local media reports.<br><br> Thirteen people suffered serious injuries in the accident on Saturday, which occurred as the vessel was heading to Sado island, <span>public broadcaster NHK quoted </span>the <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/topics/country/japan.html">Japan</a> coastguard as saying. <br><br> It is likely the ferry hit a whale, as both humpbacks and minkes are often found in the area, NHK quoted a marine wildlife expert as saying. <br><br> "It was a huge impact," a passenger told the broadcaster. "One person was bleeding." </p> |
|
| 1451 |
-<p class="speakable">There was damage to the back of the vessel, local media said. A 15cm crack was found at the ferry's stern.</p> |
|
| 1452 |
-<p class="speakable">However, the ferry - with 121 passengers and four crew on board - reached its destination on the island, located off the west coast of Japan's main island of Honshu without outside help, local media said.</p> |

-<p class="speakable">At least 15 people have been killed in a shooting at a nightclub in Mexico's violence-wracked Guanajuato state, according to prosecutors.</p> |
|
| 1519 |
-<p class="speakable">Local media reported that another seven people were injured before sunrise on Saturday when a group of armed men pulled up in three vans at the La Playa Men's Club in the city of Salamanca, burst into the premises, and opened fire.</p> |
|
| 1520 |
-<p class="speakable">A video taken after the shooting from the street near the bar showed a line of police vehicles and a woman wailing uncontrollably in the background as an ambulance drove into the area.</p> |
|
| 1521 |
-<p>Authorities in central Mexico's Guanajuato state have launched an operation against criminal gangs involved in fuel theft.</p> |
|
| 1522 |
-<p>Salamanca, site of the main pipeline belonging to state oil company Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), is where fuel thieves have cost the firm around $3bn in recent years.</p> |
|
| 1523 |
-<p>More than a decade after the introduction of a militarised effort against drug cartels that has led to some of Mexico's bloodiest years on record, the latest effort will test the new government's ability to curtail the reach of organised crime.</p> |
|
| 1524 |
-<p>In late January, a fake bomb was found in a car parked close to the refinery.<br> <br>Nearby, signs were found threatening Mexico President <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/topics/people/andres-manuel-lopez-obrador.html">Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador</a> and demanding that he withdraw soldiers fighting against fuel theft gangs from the area.</p> |
|
| 1525 |
-<p><span>Obrador took office on December 1, 2018, vowing to step up the fight against crime.</span><br> <br>Salamanca is less than 100km from Santa Rosa de Lima, where a few days ago authorities conducted an operation against Juan Antonio Yepez, the alleged leader of a fuel-stealing cartel.</p> |
|
| 1526 |
-<p>Guanajuato state suffered a doubling of murders last year, making it one of Mexico's most violent regions, official data shows.</p> |

|
| 1669 |
-<p>A SpaceX rocket launched the 16-foot-tall capsule from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Saturday.</p> |
|
| 1670 |
-<p>The first-of-its-kind mission, in advance of SpaceX's crewed test flight slated for June, brought some 180kg of test equipment to the space station, including a dummy named Ripley, outfitted with sensors around its head, neck and spine to monitor how a flight would feel for a human.</p> |
|
| 1671 |
-<p>The space station's three-member crew greeted the capsule last Sunday, with US astronaut Anne McClain and Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques entering Crew Dragon's cabin to carry out air-quality tests and inspections.</p> |
|
| 1672 |
-<p>The crewless mission, called Demo-1, was SpaceX's chance to show it can build a spaceship that can carry people. <br><br>The company, founded by celebrity entrepreneur Elon Musk, has so far shuttled only cargo to the ISS.</p> |

-<p>The 28 members of the current national team player pool joined in the lawsuit.</p> |
|
| 1760 |
-<p>The US Women's National Team Players Association (USWNTPA) was not a party to the lawsuit, but in a statement said it "supports the plaintiffs' goal of eliminating gender-based discrimination by USSF". </p> |

-<p>The US Soccer Federation didn't have an immediate comment for the Associated Press news agency.</p> |
|
| 1765 |
-<p>The players are seeking equal pay and treatment, in addition to damages including back pay. The complaint was filed on International Women's Day.</p> |
|
| 1766 |
-<h2>'We deserved to be paid equally'</h2> |
|
| 1767 |
-<p>In a prepared statement, football player Alex Morgan said players needed to fight for gender equality.</p> |
|
| 1768 |
-<p>"Each of us is extremely proud to wear the United States jersey, and we also take seriously the responsibility that comes with that," Morgan said in the statement. </p> |
|
| 1769 |
-<p>"We believe that fighting for gender equality in sports is a part of that responsibility. As players, we deserved to be paid equally for our work, regardless of our gender." </p> |

-<p>US co-captain Carli Lloyd said; "In light of our team's unparalleled success on the field, it's a shame that we still are fighting for treatment that reflects our achievements and contributions to the sport."</p> |
|
| 1774 |
-<p>When the women's team clinched their most recent World Cup title in 2015, it was the most watched football game in American TV history with an audience of approximately 23 million viewers.</p> |
|
| 1775 |
-<h2>Pushing for equal pay</h2> |
|
| 1776 |
-<p>This is not the first time the players have sought equitable compensation and conditions.</p> |
|
| 1777 |
-<p>A group of players filed a complaint in 2016 with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) that alleged wage discrimination by the federation. </p> |
|
| 1778 |
-<p>The players maintained that the men's team <span>players </span>earned far more than they did, in many cases despite comparable work.</p> |
|
| 1779 |
-<p>The lawsuit effectively ends that EEOC complaint, brought by Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, Becky Sauerbrunn, Carli Lloyd and former goalkeeper Hope Solo.</p> |
|
| 1780 |
-<p>The team took the fight into contract negotiations and struck a collective bargaining agreement in 2017 that runs through 2021.</p> |
|
| 1781 |
-<p>The players received raises in base pay and bonuses as well as better provisions for travel and accommodations, including increased per diems. It also gave the players some control of certain licensing and marketing rights. </p> |

-<p>"This lawsuit is an effort by the plaintiffs to address those serious issues through the exercise of their individual rights. For its part, the USWNTPA will continue to seek improvements in pay and working conditions through the labour-management and collective bargaining processes," the players' union said.</p> |
|
| 1786 |
-<p>The USSF has in the past maintained that much of the pay disparity between the men's and women's teams resulted from separate labour agreements.</p> |
|
| 1787 |
-<p>In 2017, the US women's national hockey team threatened to boycott that year's world championship but returned to the ice after settling a dispute with USA Hockey over wages and better benefits in line with their male counterparts.</p> |

-<p>Bouteflika has offered to limit his term after the election and has vowed to change the "system" that runs the country.

-<p>"Many people believe that if this momentum continues for the next two weeks, it could be a game-changer," Ahelbarra added.</p> |

-<p class="speakable">A Malaysian has been sentenced to more than 10 years in jail and three others have been charged over insults against Islam and the Prophet Muhammad on social media. </p> |
|
| 1991 |
-<p class="speakable">The sentence of 10 years and 10 months is believed to be the harshest such penalty on record in the Muslim-majority country.</p> |
|
| 1992 |
-<p class="speakable">Inspector General of Police Mohamad Fuzi Harun said in a statement on Saturday that the person, identified only as Facebook user "Ayea Yea", had pleaded guilty to 10 charges of anti-religious activity and misusing communication networks.</p> |
|

|
| 1996 |
-<p>The statement did not specify the number of charges for each offence but said they would be served consecutively.</p> |
|
| 1997 |
-<p>Under Malaysian law, those found guilty of anti-religious activity can be punished with a jail term of two to five years. The misuse of communication networks carries a maximum one year in jail or a fine of up to 50,000 ringgit ($12,200), or both.</p> |
|
| 1998 |
-<p>According to Andrew Khoo, co-chairperson of the Human Rights Committee of Malaysia, this is an "unprecedented" situation.</p> |
|
| 1999 |
-<p>"For someone to face five separate charges, and for the sentences to be served consecutively - this is excessive," Khoo told Al Jazeera.</p> |
|
| 2000 |
-<p>"And according to press reports, the accused was unrepresented. That in itself is a travesty of justice," he added.</p> |
|
| 2001 |
-<h2>'Not to abuse social media' </h2> |
|
| 2002 |
-<p>Another social media user had also pleaded guilty and a sentencing hearing will be held on Monday. Two others had pleaded not guilty and were being held without bail.</p> |
|
| 2003 |
-<p>All four were charged under laws against causing racial disharmony, incitement, and misusing communications networks.</p> |
|
| 2004 |
-<p>"The police advise the public not to abuse social media or communication networks by uploading or sharing any form of provocation that can affect religious or racial sensitivities, causing racial tensions within this country's diverse community," Mohamad said.</p> |
|
| 2005 |
-<p>Mujahid Yusof Rawa, the <span>minister in charge of religious affairs,</span> said on Thursday that the Islamic Affairs Department had set up a unit to monitor writings and communications insulting Islam and Prophet Muhammad.</p> |
|
| 2006 |
-<p>He said the ministry would not compromise on any acts insulting the religion and called for punishment against those found guilty.</p> |

-<p>Ms Begum left London to join the Islamic State group aged 15. Mr Javid revoked her British citizenship when the teenager asked to return.</p> |

-<p>Ms Begum, who left the UK in 2015 with two school friends, was found by a journalist from the Times in a Syrian refugee camp in mid-February. </p> |
|
| 142 |
-<p>She said she had been living with her husband, a Dutch IS fighter, in IS's last stronghold and had previously lost two children, blaming the inhospitable conditions.</p> |
|
| 143 |
-<p>Nine months pregnant, she told the paper she did not regret joining IS, but that she felt the "caliphate" was at an end.</p> |
|
| 144 |
-<p>And speaking shortly after the birth of her son, Jarrah, she told the BBC <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47276572" class="story-body__link">she wished her child to be British and to be raised in the UK</a>.</p> |
|
| 145 |
-<p>Jarrah died of pneumonia on Thursday, according to a medical certificate. He was less than three weeks old.</p> |
|
| 146 |
-<p>Conservative MP and former justice minister Phillip Lee urged the government to "reflect" on its "moral responsibility" for the tragedy.</p> |
|
| 147 |
-<p>He said that despite her "abhorrent views" the decision to remove Ms Begum's citizenship - and therefore deny her the chance of returning to the UK - seemed "driven by populism and not by any principle I recognise".</p> |
|
| 148 |
-<p>Conditions in the camp were "pretty appalling", with a shortage of food, blankets and tents, said the BBC's Middle East correspondent Quentin Sommerville.</p> |
|
| 149 |
-<p>Defence and security editor for the Daily Mail Larisa Brown told Newsnight there was no form of heating in the camp and <a href="https://twitter.com/BBCNewsnight/status/1104150656997183495" class="story-body__link-external">the tents did not have stoves to keep children warm in temperatures that fell to 3C or 4C at night</a>.</p> |
|
| 150 |
-<p>In three months, more than 100 people have died on the way or soon after arriving at the camp, with two-thirds of those dying aged under five.</p> |
|
| 151 |
-<p>David Miliband, former foreign secretary and president of the International Rescue Committee, said the camp faced an emergency as 12,000 "traumatised as well as deeply malnourished" people fled IS rule.</p> |
|
| 152 |
-<p>Dal Babu, a former Metropolitan Police chief superintendent and friend of Ms Begum's family, told BBC Newsnight: "We've failed, as a country, to safeguard the child."</p> |

|
| 163 |
-<p>Ms Begum's sister, Renu Begum, said in the letter Jarrah was the "one true innocent" in the situation.</p> |
|
| 164 |
-<p>As her child was born before she was deprived of UK citizenship by the Home Office, the baby would still be considered British.</p> |
|
| 165 |
-<p>"This was an entirely avoidable death of a British citizen," said Mr Babu. </p> |
|
| 166 |
-<p>"There was no attempt to help by the Home Office. I think it's shocking how the home secretary has treated this situation."</p> |
|

-<p>Speaking to the BBC on Friday, before it was confirmed that the baby had died, Mr Javid said: "Sadly there are probably many children, obviously perfectly innocent, who have been born in this war zone.</p> |
|
| 174 |
-<p>"I have nothing but sympathy for the children that have been dragged into this. </p> |
|
| 175 |
-<p>"This is a reminder of why it is so, so dangerous for anyone to be in this war zone." </p> |
|
| 176 |
-<p>BBC home affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford said it might have been possible for the government to get the baby out of Syria, although that could have been "politically difficult".</p> |
|
| 177 |
-<p>"The government's position that it's impossible to go and get people out of these camps because it's too dangerous is repeatedly shown to be not entirely accurate, because journalists are able to get to these camps relatively safely.</p> |
|
| 178 |
-<p>"Working with the Red Crescent there for example, it should be possible to go and get people from the camps - if there was a political will."</p> |

|

-<p>"It is possible the death of this baby boy and others could have been avoided. The UK and other countries of origin must take responsibility for their citizens inside north-east Syria," she added.</p> |
|
| 188 |
-<p>But Professor Anthony Glees, director of the Centre for Security and Intelligence Studies at the University of Buckingham, said: "The responsibility for this tragedy lies with the so-called Islamic State."</p> |
|
| 189 |
-<p>He said Shamima Begum also bears responsibility "for making the choice to leave the safety of the United Kingdom and go and be a Jihadi bride".</p> |

-<p>In <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47276572" class="story-body__link">an interview with the BBC</a> after the birth of Jarrah, Ms Begum said she did not regret travelling to Syria - although she added that she did not agree with everything the IS group had done.</p> |
|
| 191 |
-<p>She added that she had never sought to be an IS "poster girl".</p> |
|
| 192 |
-<p>"I just want forgiveness really, from the UK," she told the BBC's Middle East correspondent Quentin Sommerville last month. </p> |
|

-<p>"Everything I've been through, I didn't expect I would go through that.</p> |
|

-<p>"Losing my children the way I lost them, I don't want to lose this baby as well and this is really not a place to raise children, this camp."</p> |

|
| 360 |
-<p><strong>By BBC News reporter Ethirajan Anbarasan - who interviewed Ahmed Ali</strong></p> |
|
| 361 |
-<p>Mr Ali was looking frail, anxious and worried. He was surprised to hear that we had come all the way from London to talk to him.</p> |
|
| 362 |
-<p>He preferred to speak in his native Bengali language than English and he sounded very worried about his daughter's future. He couldn't explain how she got radicalised. But at the same time he also questioned how British immigration allowed her to travel on someone else's passport.</p> |
|
| 363 |
-<p>Living far away from the media gaze, Mr Ali seems to be living a quiet life with his second wife in Dawrai, a picturesque village in the district of Sunamganj. </p> |
|
| 364 |
-<p>His house was surrounded by coconut and mango trees and lush green paddy fields. A single track road, most of it potholed dirt track, leads to the village. Chickens and other birds were chirping all the time.</p> |
|
| 365 |
-<p>For Mr Ali, it must be a different world compared to his other home in noisy east London.</p> |

|
| 531 |
-<p>President Maduro has accused Mr Guaidó of trying to mount a coup against him with the help of "US imperialists".</p> |
|
| 532 |
-<p>Mr Maduro took over the presidency when his late mentor Hugo Chavez died in 2013. In recent years Venezuela has experienced economic collapse, with severe food shortages and inflation reaching at least 800,000% last year.</p> |
|
| 533 |
-<p>The Maduro government is becoming increasingly isolated as more and more countries blame it for the economic crisis, which has prompted more than three million people to leave Venezuela.</p> |
|
| 534 |
-<h2 class="story-body__crosshead">What happened with the power cuts?</h2> |
|
| 535 |
-<p>The widespread power cuts have reportedly been caused by problems at the Guri hydroelectric plant in Bolivar state - one of the largest such facilities in Latin America.</p> |
|
| 536 |
-<p>A fresh blackout struck on Saturday, El Nacional newspaper reported, cutting power to many areas where it had previously been restored.</p> |
|
| 537 |
-<p>In Caracas, traffic lights in some areas were back in action but the city's metro remained closed, reports said.</p> |
|
| 538 |
-<p>Venezuela depends on its vast hydroelectric infrastructure, rather than its oil reserves, for its domestic electricity supply. But decades of underinvestment have damaged the major dams, and sporadic blackouts are commonplace.</p> |

|
| 1236 |
-<p>"We will use this as an opportunity to review how to improve patient experience with tele-video capabilities."</p> |

|
| 1503 |
-<p>The star won a high-profile legal fight against the BBC after it aired live shots of police searching his home. </p> |
|
| 1504 |
-<p>He says he would never have been named as a subject of inquiry had the law protected him as an innocent party.</p> |
|
| 1505 |
-<p>The group wants to meet the home secretary to set out their case. </p> |
|
| 1506 |
-<p>Sir Cliff mounted a groundbreaking privacy case against the BBC last year over its coverage of the raid by South Yorkshire Police.</p> |

-<p>The investigation - launched after police received what turned out to be false allegations of sexual assault - was subsequently dropped and police never arrested or questioned Sir Cliff. </p> |
|
| 1520 |
-<p>The campaign group, called <a href="http://www.falselyaccusedindividuals.com" class="story-body__link-external">Falsely Accused Individuals for Reform</a> (Fair), was launched by two other personalities who had been falsely accused of sexual offences and named in the media - the presenter Paul Gambaccini and former MP Harvey Proctor. </p> |
|
| 1521 |
-<p>They argue it is time the law was changed to prevent innocent people being vilified in the media. </p> |
|
| 1522 |
-<p>Sir Cliff has now announced he is joining them. </p> |
|
| 1523 |
-<p>In a statement he said: "Being falsely accused myself and having that exposed in the media was the worst thing that has happened to me in my entire life. </p> |
|
| 1524 |
-<p>"Even though untrue, the stigma is almost impossible to eradicate. Hence the importance of Fair's campaign to change the law to provide for anonymity before charge in sexual allegations and hence my continued work with Fair in the future. </p> |
|
| 1525 |
-<p>"Had this proposed change in the law been enacted when the police decided to raid my apartment following the allegations of a fantasist, the BBC would not have been able to film this event, name me, and so plunge my life and those close to me into fear and misery."</p> |
|
| 1526 |
-<p>Victims of sexual offences have automatic lifetime anonymity from being named in the media - but there is no bar on news organisations naming anyone who is under investigation for any type of offence. </p> |
|
| 1527 |
-<p>There have been previous calls to prevent the media naming suspects before charge. The most recent debate came after a Sussex couple were arrested over last Christmas's Gatwick Airport drone disruption, named in the media, and then cleared of any wrongdoing. </p> |
|
| 1528 |
-<p>The government has refused to back a proposal from the Liberal Democrat peer Lord Paddick for all suspects to be protected from being named before they are charged, saying it would infringe on freedom of speech. </p> |
|
| 1529 |
-<p>But Daniel Janner QC, co-founder and secretary for Fair, whose <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40077761" class="story-body__link">father former Labour MP Greville Janner faced allegations of child abuse</a>, said the campaign wanted to rebalance the scales of justice by focusing on a much narrower set of innocent individuals. </p> |
|
| 1530 |
-<p>"We're trying to get balance because it's with sexual allegations that mud sticks in the most awful way," he said </p> |
|
| 1531 |
-<p>"And that is why we want the Home Office to enact a small but significant change in the law."</p> |
|
| 1532 |
-<p>"It is a privilege and honour that Sir Cliff has added his support."</p> |

|
| 1673 |
-<p><strong>Analysis by BBC North America reporter Anthony Zurcher</strong></p> |
|
| 1674 |
-<p>Elizabeth Warren was the first major Democrat to announce a 2020 presidential bid. She's since been joined by five of fellow senators, a current governor, a former governor and an ex-cabinet secretary, among others. Although she came out of the gate first, the pack has quickly caught up.</p> |
|
| 1675 |
-<p>She's tried to stand out from the crowd by proposing a series of big, detailed progressive policies, including a "wealth tax" on multimillionaires, universal childcare and - in her latest move - using the government's anti-monopoly power to break up big tech companies.</p> |
|
| 1676 |
-<p>She'll have a chance to make her case for it on Saturday in front of what could be a not-so-welcoming crowd, here at the South by Southwest technology conference in Austin, Texas. Politicians sometimes benefit from taking uncomfortable - and politically risky - stands in front of otherwise sympathetic audiences as a way to show a bit of spine.</p> |
|
| 1677 |
-<p>There is still a very long road ahead for Ms Warren, and her competitors - many of whom will also be on the Austin stage this weekend. The Massachusetts senator is doing her best to be heard above the din - but so is everyone else.</p> |

-<p>A Massachusetts senator, she has a background in law and policy academia and sits on the progressive left of the Democratic Party.</p> |
|
| 1683 |
-<p>She burst on to the national scene following the 2008 economic collapse, championing the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau - a government agency that would serve as a Wall Street watchdog and public advocate.</p> |
|
| 1684 |
-<p>In 2010, following congressional passage of the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill, she helped the Obama administration set it up.</p> |
|
| 1685 |
-<p>Two years later, Ms Warren rode that wave of attention to a seat in the US Senate, and on New Year's Eve she became the first major Democratic candidate to announce that she was planning a presidential bid.</p> |

-<p>The UK and the EU remain at loggerheads over the contentious issue of the Irish backstop - which is designed to maintain an open border on the island of Ireland by keeping the UK aligned with EU customs rules until the two sides' future relationship is agreed or alternative arrangements are worked out.</p> |
|
| 1831 |
-<p>The Commons Northern Ireland Affairs Committee has suggested there may be a possible technical solution to the border problem "but only if there is trust and goodwill".</p> |

|

-<p>The system would use either the mobile phone network or radio frequency identification to check goods or driver's IDs without them leaving the vehicle, in combination with a trusted trader scheme.</p> |
|
| 1864 |
-<p>Border surveillance would utilise automated number plate recognition and CCTV.</p> |

-<p>Lars Karlsson, a former director at the World Customs Organisation, said all the separate elements which made up <a href="https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201719/cmselect/cmniaf/1850/1850.pdf" class="story-body__link-external">the proposal </a> had been tested "somewhere in the world, just not in one single border".</p> |
|
| 1866 |
-<p>The border in Northern Ireland would be "the first and a leading example in the world of this kind," he added.</p> |
|
| 1867 |
-<p>However, the committee urged the UK and EU negotiators to agree on a definition of a hard border by 12 March.</p> |
|
| 1868 |
-<p>"Mistrust over the backstop protocol has been heightened by lack of clarity on what exactly constitutes a 'hard border'," said chairman Andrew Murrison.</p> |
|

-<p>"My committee is calling for clarification of the term in a legally explicit way to ensure both parties share the same understanding of how the backstop can be avoided."</p> |

-<p>Leading Brexiteers are unlikely to change their position on the deal unless Mrs May can secure promises that the backstop will not endure indefinitely.</p> |
|

-<p>Remainer Dominic Grieve, who supports a referendum to endorse the terms of Brexit, said it was "hard to see" how Parliament would agree to the current deal.</p> |

- <p>BEIJING: China has gone to great lengths to support its currency and would not devalue the renminbi to spur exports or combat trade frictions, the governor of the central bank said Sunday.</p> |
|
| 79 |
-<p>Speaking on the sidelines of China's annual parliamentary session, Yi Gang said Washington and Beijing had discussed exchange rates in recent trade talks and reached a consensus on many "crucial" issues.</p> |
|
| 80 |
-<aside> |
|
| 81 |
-</aside><p>US President Donald Trump has long accused Beijing of manipulating its currency to gain a trade advantage and Washington has been seeking assurances on the exchange rate in the ongoing trade talks between the two nations.</p> |
|
| 82 |
-<p>"Let me stress here that we will never use the exchange rate for the purpose of competition, nor will we use the exchange rate to increase China's exports or as a tool in handling trade frictions," said Yi.</p> |
|
| 83 |
-<p>"We have committed not to do this," Yi told reporters.</p> |
|
| 84 |
-<p>He noted the US Treasury Department had declined many times to label China a currency manipulator in its semi-annual report on international exchange rates.</p> |
|
| 85 |
- <aside> |
|
| 86 |
-</aside><aside> |
|
| 87 |
-</aside><p>Beijing and Washington have been locked in a bruising trade war since last year, imposing tit-for-tat tariffs on more than $360 billion in two-way trade, which has left global markets reeling.</p> |
|
| 88 |
-<p>"The two sides reached consensus on many crucial and important issues," Yi said, without specifying which issues.</p> |
|
| 89 |
-<p>China's banking regulator told reporters earlier this week that the two sides would reach a consensus on the exchange rate and indicated it would not be a sticking point in the way of a larger trade agreement.</p> |
|
| 90 |
-<p>"China's efforts and achievements in maintaining the basic stability of the renminbi exchange rate at a reasonable and balanced level are recognised by the whole world," Yi said.</p> |

|
|
| 118 |
-<p>There have been conflicting comments from Washington and Beijing on the progress of negotiations.</p> |
|
| 119 |
-<p>Beijing is hopeful about its next round of trade talks with the US, China's vice minister for commerce Wang Shouwen said Saturday, after revealing that top negotiators had tried to hammer out a deal over a lunch of burgers and eggplant chicken in a recent round of talks.</p> |
|
| 120 |
-<p>Donald Trump on Friday said he remains optimistic but will not sign a pact unless it is a "very good deal", and a top economic advisor said the US president could walk away from a bad deal.</p> |
|
| 121 |
-<p>The two sides were thought to be readying for a Trump-Xi meeting at the end of March, but the US ambassador to China said Friday that the two countries were not yet ready to bring together the two leaders for a summit and deal signing.</p> |

- <p>SINGAPORE: Taxi operator ComfortDelGro has issued an apology after one of its drivers fainted while driving along the East Coast Parkway (ECP) on Friday (Mar 8).</p> |
|
| 278 |
-<p>A video, taken from a dashboard camera and uploaded on Facebook, showed the cab swerving across two lanes and hitting the divider twice.</p> |
|
| 279 |
-<aside> |
|
| 280 |
-</aside><p>Other vehicles stopped or slowed down to avoid colliding with the cab.</p> |
|
| 281 |
-<p>The video also showed the passenger alighting the taxi as it was moving along the expressway and getting into a red car that had stopped a distance behind. <br></p> |
|
| 282 |
-<p>The taxi continued moving and slowly disappeared from sight. </p> |
|
| 283 |
-<p>In a statement responding to Channel NewsAsia's queries on Sunday, ComfortDelGro's group chief communications officer Tammy Tan confirmed the incident, which occurred at about 1.30pm on Friday. </p> |
|
| 284 |

|
| 286 |
-</aside><p>"Our taxi driver was travelling with a passenger on the ECP expressway when he blacked out momentarily," said Ms Tan. </p> |
|
| 287 |
-<p>"When he came to, he realised that his passenger had disembarked. He wanted to get off the expressway to seek medical help and continued driving slowly until he was out of the expressway and at the Rochor Road exit gantry," she said, adding that the driver then called for assistance. <br></p> |
|
| 288 |
-<p>He was warded in hospital for observation. </p> |
|
| 289 |
-<p>Ms Tan also said that the company was in touch with the passenger and would be sending a hamper and vouchers to him as a gesture of goodwill. </p> |
|
| 290 |
-<p>“We would also like to apologise to all affected motorists for this incident and thank the private car lady driver for her kind assistance," said Ms Tan. </p> |
|
| 291 |
-<p>Police confirmed a report had been made and that they were investigating the incident. </p> |

- <p>Indian Wells (United States) - World number one Naomi Osaka launched her Indian Wells WTA title defense with a 6-3, 6-4 victory in a grudge match against Kristina Mladenovic on Saturday.</p> |
|
| 435 |
-<p>Osaka, whose second straight Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in January propelled her to the top of the rankings, was beaten by 65th-ranked Mladenovic in Dubai last month in her first match since she lifted the trophy in Melbourne.</p> |
|
| 436 |
-<aside> |
|
| 437 |
-</aside><p>Keen to avoid a repeat, Osaka marched through the opening set in 38 minutes, but she hit a speed bump as she was broken when serving for the match at 5-2 in the second.</p> |
|
| 438 |
-<p>After Mladenovic held serve to narrow the deficit to 5-4, the Japanese player faced another break point before wrapping up the match after one hour and 21 minutes.</p> |
|
| 439 |
-<p>"The last time I played her I lost, so anything's a bonus," Osaka said, adding that she felt a few butterflies before opening the first title defense of her career.</p> |
|
| 440 |
-<p>Her surprise triumph at Indian Wells last year launched a 2018 campaign that would eventually include her first Grand Slam crown at the US Open.</p> |
|
| 441 |
- <aside> |
|
| 442 |
-</aside><aside> |
|
| 443 |
-</aside><p>"I've never been a defending champion before, that's new and I was really nervous," said Osaka, who booked a third-round meeting with American Danielle Collins, a 6-4, 6-1 winner over Kirsten Flipkens.</p> |
|
| 444 |
-<p>Seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams pulled off the upset of the day, rallying from a set and two breaks down to topple third-seeded Petra Kvitova 4-6, 7-5, 6-4.</p> |
|
| 445 |
-<p>"I just fought and tried my hardest," said Williams, currently ranked 36th in the world.</p> |
|
| 446 |
-<p>"A double break is not ideal against a great server, especially a left-handed server," Williams said, adding that the secret to coming back was "just being in the moment".</p> |
|
| 447 |
-<p>"I think I created some opportunities. I had some good points. I think she had a few tight points, and here we are."</p> |
|
| 448 |
-<p>She booked a third-round clash with fellow American Christina McHale, a 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 winner over 30th-seeded Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.</p> |
|
| 449 |
-<p>Two-time Wimbledon champion Kvitova, who was runner-up to Osaka in Melbourne, appeared to have taken control of the stadium court slugfest when she broke Williams for a 4-3 lead in the third.</p> |
|
| 450 |
-<p>But Williams immediately broke back and Kvitova soon found herself serving to save the match. She took a 40-15 lead in the final game, but two double faults, followed by a lucky netcord bounce for Williams gave the American a match point and Kvitova sailed a ball long to end matters after two hours and 27 minutes.</p> |
|
| 451 |
-<p>Williams pulled off the unlikely comeback despite failing to produce a single ace although she said her varying serve speeds were "what I needed to do".</p> |
|
| 452 |
-<p>She was broken four times, but proved more consistent in the bruising baseline rallies.</p> |
|
| 453 |
-<p>Kvitova fired 10 aces, but also had 10 double faults and while the Czech fired 38 winners to Williams's 15, her 56 unforced errors were more than double the American's 25.</p> |
|
| 454 |
-<p>"It was such a weird match," Kvitova said, calling it her worst of the year. "I took the first set. Suddenly I was leading in the second, but somehow I just gave her a chance again to be back in the match, and she took it.</p> |
|
| 455 |
-<p>"I was so frustrated with myself from the half of the second set to the end, which shouldn't happen to me," she said.</p> |
|
| 456 |
-<p>There was disappointment, too, for 2011 winner Caroline Wozaniacki, who fell 7-5, 2-6, 7-5 to 59th-ranked Russian Ekaterina Alexandrova.</p> |
|
| 457 |
-<p>Elsewhere on Saturday, fifth-seeded Karolina Pliskova shook off a slow start to defeat Japanese qualifier Misaki Doi 6-7 (4/7), 6-1, 6-1.</p> |
|
| 458 |
-<p>Pliskova next faces another qualifier, Belgian Ysaline Bonaventure, who defeated 28th-seeded Donna Vekic of Croatia 1-6, 7-6 (7/5), 6-4.</p> |
|
| 459 |
-<p>Eighth-seeded German Angelique Kerber eased into the third round with a 6-0, 6-2 victory over Kazakhstan's Yulia Putintseva.</p> |

- <p>NEW DELHI: India is set to announce Sunday the dates for a national election that will see hundreds of millions of voters cast their ballots in the biggest democratic exercise on Earth.</p> |
|
| 613 |
-<p>The Election Commission has called a press conference for later Sunday where the timeline for India's mammoth multi-week polls will be unveiled, a senior government official told AFP.</p> |
|
| 614 |
-<aside> |
|
| 615 |
-</aside><p>More than 800 million voters from the Himalayan peaks to the deserts and tropical shores are eligible to vote for a new government for the next five years in an enormous democratic undertaking that will span several weeks.</p> |
|
| 616 |
-<p>They will elect 543 lawmakers to India's lower house of parliament, the Lok Sabha, which governs the nation from the capital New Delhi.</p> |
|
| 617 |
-<p>The election will see Prime Minister Narendra Modi run for a second term against Rahul Gandhi, the latest scion of the Gandhi-Nehru dynasty to seek leadership of the world's second-most populous nation.</p> |
|
| 618 |
-<p>They are the two strongest challengers from a field of hundreds of political parties from across the culturally and geographically diverse country of 1.25 billion.</p> |
|
| 619 |
- <aside> |
|
| 620 |
-</aside><aside> |
|
| 621 |
-</aside><p>Modi, whose right-wing party won an outright majority in the 2014 elections, enters the race in a strong position and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) hopes to decimate Gandhi's left-leaning Congress party once again.</p> |
|
| 622 |
-<p>His Hindu-nationalist political machine is riding on Modi's personal popularity and an array of emotive issues, including renewed hostility with nuclear-armed rival Pakistan.</p> |
|
| 623 |
-<p>The prime minister has also sought to contrast his humble origins as a tea seller against Gandhi, the 48-year-old privileged half-Italian princeling of India's most famous family.</p> |
|
| 624 |
-<p>But opinion polls have suggested ebbing support for the BJP, and even that it may fall short of the 272 seats it needs to form a government on its own.</p> |
|
| 625 |
-<p>Gandhi, long criticised as a lacklustre leader, has also started looking more recently like a serious challenger.</p> |
|
| 626 |
-<p>Congress, which has ruled India for much of its time since independence from Britain in 1947, won three key state election victories in December, chipping into Modi's core support base in the Hindi "Cow Belt" regions home to nearly half a billion voters.</p> |
|
| 627 |
-<p>He has also gone on the offensive over Modi's economic record, with the Congress state wins attributed to the prime minister's perceived failure to help impoverished farmers and to create enough jobs.</p> |
|
| 628 |
-<p>In the 2014 elections, 830 million people were eligible to vote but only 550 million cast their ballots.</p> |

- <p>NEW DELHI: Test cricket is in robust health after a strong year, the custodians of the game's laws have said, following a survey in which fans hailed it as the "ultimate" of the game's three formats.</p> |
|
| 777 |
-<p>The future of the long format has been a subject of debate since the rise of Twenty20 leagues across the cricketing globe coincided with dwindling crowds for test matches outside Australia and England.</p> |
|
| 778 |
-<aside> |
|
| 779 |
-</aside><p>The lure of quick money has spawned several Twenty20 freelancers while many players have signed white ball-only contracts in English county cricket making their priority very clear.</p> |
|
| 780 |
-<p>The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) surveyed over 13,000 responders from more than 100 countries with an overwhelming 86 percent fans identifying test cricket as their preferred format.</p> |
|
| 781 |
-<p>"Responders ... still consider the test format to be the pinnacle of cricket and the favourite format of cricket to attend, follow and watch, with respondents describing the game as the 'ultimate' form of cricket," the MCC said in a statement.</p> |
|
| 782 |
-<p>The last couple of months have been a great advertisement for the long form with India registering their first ever test series victory in Australia, West Indies humbling mighty England, and Sri Lanka becoming the first Asian country to win a series in South Africa.</p> |
|

-</aside><p>"Test cricket has had the most incredible year and that has contributed to the strong support for test cricket," Sri Lankan batting great Kumar Sangakkara, a member of the MCC World Cricket Committee, said.</p> |
|
| 786 |
-<p>"...there’s huge competition amongst the top countries at the moment and it makes for exciting competition. It is brilliant news fans are backing the great cricket being played the world over."</p> |
|
| 787 |
-<p>The survey also some of the key challenges in increasing attendances at and viewership of test matches, including cost and availability of ticket and increased access in free-to-air TV.</p> |
|
| 788 |
-<p>"It is important we listen to cricket fans to continue to improve their experience of test match cricket and address their concerns," MCC World Cricket committee chairman Mike Gatting said.</p> |
|
| 789 |
-<p>"We want to see test cricket continue to thrive, especially as more formats of the sport such as The Hundred and T20 leagues gain popularity," added the former England captain.</p> |

- <p>LOS ANGELES: It was the fall of 1981 and Magic Johnson was not happy. The Los Angeles Lakers had just won five in a row, but Johnson was feeling constrained by the new offense head coach Paul Westhead had installed.</p> |
|
| 941 |
-<p>Westhead met with his star point guard over what he called a "lack of concentration," according to a Sports Illustrated report.</p> |
|
| 942 |
-<aside> |
|
| 943 |
-</aside><p>It didn't go well. </p> |
|
| 944 |
-<p>Because in the locker room after that meeting, Johnson told the media he couldn't play under Westhead's system anymore and wanted to be traded.</p> |
|
| 945 |
-<p>John Rockwell, a close friend of Lakers owner Dr Jerry Buss, was dispatched to find a solution that didn't involve trading the conductor of Showtime.</p> |
|
| 946 |
-<p>"I go to Jerry and he says, 'Well, that's not a problem at all,'" Rockwell recalled in a recent interview with ESPN. </p> |
|
| 947 |
- <aside> |
|
| 948 |
-</aside><aside> |
|
| 949 |
-</aside><p>"He said, 'Just fire the coach.' So, that's what he did. I was really surprised, but Magic was very important to the team."</p> |
|
| 950 |
-<p>There is perhaps no greater articulation of the Lakers' unwavering commitment to the star system than the clarity Buss showed in choosing Johnson over Westhead.</p> |
|
| 951 |
-<p>There was no hesitation. Westhead was fired the next morning when the team returned to Los Angeles with three years and more than US$1 million remaining on his contract. Pat Riley took over as head coach, and the rest is history.</p> |
|
| 952 |
-<p>The rest is history because Johnson performed and won championships. That's the other side of giving stars whatever they want, or think they want, in order to be happy. You better win enough to make all the special consideration worth it.</p> |
|
| 953 |
-<p>Kobe Bryant could dictate when and how much he was going to play, practice or pass to his teammates because he would go out and will the team to wins.</p> |
|
| 954 |
-<p>And as he aged, Buss' kids rewarded Bryant for the five championships he won the franchise with a two-year, US$48.5 million contract as he was coming off a torn Achilles tendon, just as Buss had rewarded Johnson.</p> |
|
| 955 |
-<p>Because of their experience with superstars and everything they bring along with them, there was perhaps <a href="/news/sport/basketball-lebron-passes-jordan-for-fourth-on-all-time-nba-11320858" target="_self">no better franchise for LeBron James to play out his golden years</a> than the Lakers.</p> |
|
| 956 |
-<p>They knew how to handle superstars. And at this stage in James' career, with three championships, eight consecutive NBA Finals appearances to his name and an equally burgeoning business and political profile off the court, James is a transcendent star. </p> |
|
| 957 |
-<p>So the Lakers were prepared to do whatever he needed to be happy.</p> |
|
| 958 |
-<p>He didn't want to have a media conference in Los Angeles before he opened his Promise School back in Akron, Ohio. The Lakers said OK.</p> |
|
| 959 |
-<p>He talked with Johnson about finding playmakers and guys known for their toughness, which effectively resulted in a roster lacking in shooting and floor spacing. The Lakers went out and got players who fit that description - who were willing to play on one-year deals.</p> |
|
| 960 |
-<p>Johnson said the Lakers didn't want to make the team like the Cleveland Cavaliers all over again for James. </p> |
|
| 961 |
-<p>But sure enough, James found himself back in a ball-dominant role; though he didn't have the shooters surrounding him to space the floor and open driving lanes to capitalize on his pinpoint passing, like he did in Miami and Cleveland.</p> |
|
| 962 |
-<p>Magic was right. It wasn't like Cleveland all over again: Los Angeles is ranked 22nd in offensive efficiency this season with the roster he put together.</p> |
|
| 963 |
-<p>But it all could have worked if James hadn't gotten hurt on Christmas Day and missed 18 of the next 19 games. James was just starting to find his footing with this new cast in Los Angeles. The team was starting to get healthy and find enough consistency to develop an identity.</p> |
|
| 964 |
-<p>Of course, James did get hurt. And pretty much everything since then has been a disaster.</p> |
|
| 965 |
-<p>After Monday's 113-105 loss to the LA Clippers, it seems increasingly likely the Lakers will miss the playoffs for a sixth straight season. </p> |
|
| 966 |
-<p>It's a fate James hasn't felt since his second NBA season, and he has expressed nothing but disgust about it every time he has been asked.</p> |
|
| 967 |
-<p>A few weeks ago, James turned to the local beat reporters at his locker and tried to explain that they didn't know him well enough to understand that he did not tolerate losing like this. </p> |
|
| 968 |
-<p>Then he turned to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, who had covered him during James' last four years in Cleveland, looking for some understanding and said, "Dave knows me."</p> |
|
| 969 |
-<p>James was exactly right. The Lakers treated him as they would any of the superstars who have donned the purple and gold; but the organization, its fans and the players didn't know him. </p> |
|
| 970 |
-<p>They only knew of what he had done for Cleveland and Miami. He had equity where he'd won championships.</p> |
|
| 971 |
-<p>Here in Los Angeles, he just had expectations to deliver on or fall short of.</p> |
|
| 972 |
-<p>Had he won here before or wrapped his arms around the city once he arrived, there might be more understanding. But such is the downside of a superstar joining a new franchise at this stage in his career and then effectively failing to launch.</p> |
|
| 973 |
-<p>"I haven't been a part of a season with this [amount] of injuries to our key guys," James said. "It's just the way the season has been."</p> |
|
| 974 |
-<p>James and the Lakers really never got going before everything fell apart. And once it did, he couldn't do nearly enough to stop it.</p> |
|
| 975 |
-<p>It's hard to remember how good the Lakers and James looked before he tore his groin at the Golden State Warriors on Christmas and the wheels fell off. When the season is over and sober evaluations start taking place, perhaps that will factor into the decisions on how to move forward.</p> |
|
| 976 |
-<p>But right now, it all feels like a series of missteps and misfortune that everyone shares some blame in.</p> |
|
| 977 |
-<p>There was the failed pursuit of Anthony Davis that left half the players on the roster questioning whether James, the Lakers' front office or both still wanted them. That was a self-inflicted blow the team never seemed to recover from.</p> |
|
| 978 |
-<p>There were injuries to Rajon Rondo and Lonzo Ball that kept them out for huge chunks of time; nagging injuries to Tyson Chandler, Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma and Josh Hart; and trades for Mike Muscala and Reggie Bullock (long-awaited shooters!) that have yet to pay any real dividends.</p> |
|
| 979 |
-<p>The Lakers went 6-12 in the 18 games James missed. Since he has come back, they haven't been much better, and now they have lost nine of their past 12 games. James is still getting back into top shape after the most serious injury of his career, and it has manifested itself especially on the defensive end of the floor.</p> |
|
| 980 |
-<p>Through Christmas, the Lakers had a defensive rating of 104.5 when James was on the floor. Since Christmas, the Lakers have a defensive rating of 111.9 when James is on the floor.</p> |
|
| 981 |
-<p>Since his return from injury, the Lakers have a defensive rating of 109.6 when James is on the floor in four wins; the Lakers have a defensive rating of 113.1 when James is on the floor in the eight losses.</p> |
|
| 982 |
-<p>It might not have been a strictly basketball decision for James to join the Lakers. But basketball is still his core business, and a failure like this doesn't sit well. That's the downside of committing as fully as the Lakers do to a star system.</p> |
|
| 983 |
-<p>"We're in a win-or-loss league," James said. "And that's what it's all about. We've had positive. We've had a lot of negative, obviously as far as our play. </p> |
|
| 984 |
-<p>But at the end of the day, we're in a result league. Results is how many wins you can accumulate throughout the course of the season, so you take the good with the bad and you just keep pushing forward."</p> |
|
| 985 |
-<p>While the failures can't be placed on any one person, James, Johnson and general manager Rob Pelinka will have to answer for a lot of it. </p> |

-<p>Head coach Luke Walton could lose his job over it. Most of the roster wasn't going to be back next year anyway, given the team's insistence on signing players to only one-year contracts to preserve salary-cap space for a second star this summer. </p> |
|
| 987 |
-<p>But you have to assume even larger-scale roster changes will be implemented given the disappointment of this season.<br><br><em>This article first appeared on <a href="http://global.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26137383/lebron-first-season-los-angeles-become-disaster" target="_blank">ESPN.com</a>. </em></p> |

-<p><strong>NOT JUST A BILATERAL DISPUTE</strong></p> |
|
| 1169 |
-<p>The Kashmir issue has caused tension and conflict in the Indian subcontinent since 1947, when independence from Britain created India and Pakistan as two sovereign states.</p> |
|
| 1170 |
-<p>Jammu and Kashmir – the full name of the princely Himalayan state, then ruled by Maharaja Hari Singh – acceded to India in 1947, seeking military support after tribal raids from Pakistan into the state’s territory.</p> |
|
| 1171 |
-<p>The two countries have fought three wars over the region since.</p> |
|
| 1172 |
-<p>The first, which began in 1947, ended with the partition of Jammu and Kashmir between India and Pakistan under a 1949 United Nations-brokered ceasefire. Wars in 1965 and 1999 ended in stalemate.</p> |
|
| 1173 |
-<p>But Kashmir is not simply a bilateral dispute between India and Pakistan. Kashmir is a multi-ethnic region with several internal sub-regions, whose inhabitants have distinct political goals.</p> |

-<p>Pakistani Kashmir consists of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, jurisdictions that want to become formal provinces of Pakistan to gain more political autonomy over their internal affairs.</p> |
|
| 1178 |
-<p>Indian Kashmir includes Jammu, Ladakh and the Kashmir Valley. While the first two regions desire to remain part of India, the Muslim-majority Kashmir Valley wants independence from it.</p> |
|
| 1179 |
-<p><strong>MANY-SIDED CONFLICT</strong></p> |
|
| 1180 |
-<p>The desire for autonomy in different areas of Kashmir has led to repeated uprisings and independence movements.</p> |
|
| 1181 |
-<p>The most prominent is a violent insurgency against Indian rule in the Kashmir Valley that began in 1989 and has continued, in ebbs and flows, over the past three decades. Thousands have been killed.</p> |

- <br><p>The Kashmir Valley has become a militarised zone, effectively occupied by Indian security forces. According to the United Nations, Indian soldiers have committed numerous human rights violations there, including firing on protesters and denying due process to people arrested.</p> |
|
| 1187 |
-<p>The UN also cites Pakistan’s role in the violence in Kashmir. Its government supports the movement for Kashmir’s independence from India by providing moral and material support to Kashmiri militants – allegations the Pakistani government refutes. Pakistan also tacitly supports the operations in Kashmir of non-Kashmiri extremist groups like JeM.</p> |
|
| 1188 |
-<p>As a result, consecutive Indian governments have managed to write off unrest in the Kashmir Valley as a byproduct of its territorial dispute with Pakistan. In doing so, India has avoided addressing the actual political grievances of Indian Kashmiris.</p> |
|
| 1189 |
-<p>An entire generation of young Kashmiris have been raised during the 30-year insurgency. They are deeply alienated from India, research shows, and view it as an occupying power.</p> |
|
| 1190 |
-<p>Militant groups in the region tap into this discontent, recruiting young people to use violence in their quest for Kashmir’s freedom. Indeed, the man who under the auspices of JeM blew himself up in the Feb 14 suicide bombing of the Indian military convoy was a young Kashmiri.</p> |
|
| 1191 |
-<p><strong>ENDING THE CONFLICT</strong></p> |
|
| 1192 |
-<p>Tensions in Kashmir may have subsided, but the root causes of the violence there have not.</p> |
|
| 1193 |
-<p>In my assessment, the Kashmir dispute cannot be resolved bilaterally by India and Pakistan alone – even if the two countries were willing to work together to resolve their differences.</p> |
|
| 1194 |
-<p>This is because the conflict has many sides: India, Pakistan, the five regions of Kashmir and numerous political organisations.</p> |
|
| 1195 |
-<p>Establishing peace in the region would require both India and Pakistan to reconcile the multiple – and sometimes conflicting – aspirations of the diverse peoples of this region.</p> |

- <p>NEW YORK: Like many women, I devoured Lean In, Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg’s corporate feminism manifesto, during my toddler’s nap time.</p> |
|
| 1366 |
-<p>But one statement stopped me cold: “I truly believe that the single most important career decision that a woman makes is whether she will have a life partner and who that partner is.”</p> |
|
| 1367 |
-<aside> |
|
| 1368 |
-</aside><p>When I became accidentally (albeit, at 39, happily) pregnant, I left my dream portfolio management job as a concession to my child’s father, who took a dim view of babysitting while I jetted off to meet (male) chief executives and drink with (male) colleagues.</p> |
|
| 1369 |
-<p>My personal circumstances are unusual: most women with graduate degrees don’t have “oops babies”. But leaving a job for a man is not. My departure coincided with a wave of female attrition in my division. When I started there were lots of women, but in the space of a few short years most of us left.</p> |
|
| 1370 |
-<p>Many of us did not leave because of our kids — we left because of their fathers.</p> |
|

-</aside><p><strong>THE HUSBAND'S TURN</strong></p> |
|
| 1375 |
-<p>The “assortative maters” — similar people who marry each other — left because their husbands did well. One, because her husband was appointed to a high-level position in the Obama administration; another, because she had two young children and a senior executive husband with an insane travel schedule.</p> |
|
| 1376 |
-<p>Others of us left because it was the husband’s “turn” to develop his career. One married into a family that owned a small business, and they relocated back to his roots on becoming parents.</p> |
|
| 1377 |
-<p>They divorced within a couple of years, leaving her a single parent stranded in a town with reduced career prospects. Similarly, after quitting my job and moving to a small town to accommodate my baby-daddy’s desire to flip fixer-upper houses, I ultimately quit him too.</p> |
|
| 1378 |
-<p>To sum up: We left because none of us had ended up with the “unicorn” husbands Ms Sandberg lauded in her book — saintly men enough like us to appreciate our ambition, but not threatened by our success.</p> |
|
| 1379 |
-<p>If these mythical creatures have careers, they are not “trump” careers. In some sense they would be a version of 1960s-era housewives, whose misery was grimly detailed in Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique.</p> |
|
| 1380 |
-<p><strong>NEGOTIATIONS WITH BOSSES</strong></p> |
|
| 1381 |
-<p>Our bosses were not present for the tense negotiations over scheduling and travel calendars with the fathers of our children, or for the anxious moments staring at airport displays, or for arriving home to news that the nanny is quitting — and the subsequent fight with our life partner about who doesn’t travel until we find a replacement.<br></p> |
|
| 1382 |
-<p>Women may have made tremendous progress in the workforce since The Feminine Mystique, but corporate support for their widely varying families has not kept pace.</p> |

-<p>Ms Sandberg herself acknowledged this in an essay after her husband’s death: </p> |
|
| 1385 |
-<blockquote><p>Some people felt that I did not spend enough time writing about the difficulties women face when they have an unsupportive partner or no partner at all. They were right.</p></blockquote> |
|
| 1386 |
-<p>Even my son recognises the zero-sum game too often played by working parents. He claims he is not planning to have kids, with reasoning wise beyond his seven years: “Because I’ll be too busy working in my bakery.” </p> |

|
| 1391 |
-<p>Only when companies start to think about how to address the structural impediments to career and family harmony will we be able to lay Lean In’s partner directive to rest. </p> |
|
| 1392 |

|

-<p>When contacted, police counter terrorism assistant commissioner Ayob Khan declined to give details because it involved a third party. He added that Malaysia is working actively with foreign intelligence agencies.</p> |
|

-<p>The Malaysia police also outlined some of common methods used by foreign fighters to come in and operate in Malaysia including marrying locals in order to get a spouse visa. Others exploit their student visa or try to set up businesses in Malaysia. </p> |

- <p>ISLAMABAD: Umer Farooq's grandfather and father made bagpipes. Now he is the third generation to take up the tradition in Pakistan, which is thousands of kilometres from Scotland yet sells thousands of bagpipes each year.</p> |
|
| 1732 |
-<p>The fresh smell of wood floats through the Mid East factory in Sialkot, on the eastern side of Punjab province, where Farooq is one of the managers. Workers are busy standing or sitting on the ground.</p> |

|
| 1736 |
-<p>They are then attached to a bag, and often covered with tartan, a coloured plaid fabric typical of Scotland.</p> |
|
| 1737 |
-<p>"In my family, all the boys know how to make a bagpipe, step by step," said Farooq.</p> |
|
| 1738 |
-<p>"When we were seven or eight, we would go to the factory. It was like a school, but the teachers were our dads and uncles."</p> |

-<p>South Asia has had for centuries its pungi, a wind instrument used for snake charming, and shehnai, a traditional oboe.</p> |
|
| 1748 |
-<p>But the bagpipe had to wait until the mid-19th century for British colonialists to bring it to subcontinental India, of which Pakistan was a part before independence and partition in 1947.<br></p> |
|
| 1749 |
-<p><strong>MILITARY TRADITION</strong></p> |
|
| 1750 |
-<p>"Anywhere the British army went, they took pipers with them," says Decker Forrest, a Gaelic music teacher at the University of the Highlands and Islands in Scotland.</p> |
|
| 1751 |
-<p>Locals seized on the tradition, which remains popular till this day, with dozens of bagpipe bands available for weddings and religious festivals.</p> |
|
| 1752 |
-<p>"People love the bagpipe," smiles Yaser Sain, the leader of a Sialkot trio who play at least two performances each day, he says.</p> |
|
| 1753 |
-<p>Proudly he shows pictures on his mobile phone of the band in colourful costumes.</p> |
|
| 1754 |
-<p>Forrest says Pakistani bands put the emphasis on how they look, rather than musical technique, "which is less important to them".</p> |
|
| 1755 |
-<p>At the world bagpipe championship, which is held every year in Glasgow, they are "the most beautifully dressed," he says. The kilt, however, is not de rigueur among the Pakistanis.</p> |

-<p>The M.H. Geoffrey & Co workshop, also in Sialkot, claims to manufacture a further 500 annually – but its owner, Zafar Iqbal Geoffrey, estimates that when contributions from dozens of small and medium-sized businesses in the city are counted, Sialkot can produce a total of 10,000 bagpipes a year.</p> |

- <p>HAVANA: In Havana, there's a shop selling a camera for more than US$25,000 (S$34,000) – roughly 850 times the average monthly wage in Cuba.</p> |
|
| 1934 |
-<p>The eye-popping sum earned predictable scorn on social media, but it begins to make sense when seen through the lens of the island's fledgling bid to tap into the luxury tourism market.</p> |

-</aside><p>The exclusive camera store and other boutiques featuring A-list brands like Versace and Armani are located in a shopping gallery on the ground floor of the swanky Gran Hotel Manzana.</p> |
|
| 1938 |
-<p>The mere existence of the shops certainly seems incongruous in a country that has been governed as a one-party communist state since 1959, and where the average wage is US$30 a month.</p> |
|
| 1939 |
-<p>But the hotel isn't exactly looking for locals to buy in – it attracts "a clientele of private airplanes ... princes and celebrities," according to general manager Xavier Destribats.</p> |
|
| 1940 |
-<p>The Gran Hotel Manzana, the first ever five-star establishment in Havana, opened in 2017 in a sumptuous historic building that was, at the beginning of the 20th century, the island's first shopping mall.</p> |

-<br><p>"It's the first hotel with a 1,000-square-meter spa," he said. All the rooms are at least 40 sq m, with prices ranging from US$370 for a basic room in low season to US$5,000 for the presidential suite.</p> |
|
| 1949 |
-<p>"There was a certain type of clientele that didn't travel to Havana, or Cuba, because there wasn't the standard of luxury five-star hotel like in cities such as Paris or London," Destribats added.</p> |
|
| 1950 |
-<p><strong>'FEELS LIKE MIAMI'</strong></p> |
|
| 1951 |
-<p>The hotel terrace offers stunning views over Havana's colourful historic neighborhood, where many Cubans live in dilapidated buildings that have fallen into disrepair or have vegetation sprouting from them.</p> |
|
| 1952 |
-<p>"It really doesn't feel like Cuba, clearly not – it feels like being in the United States, Miami or Puerto Rico," said Celia Liegeois, a 26-year-old tourist from Paris.</p> |
|
| 1953 |
-<p>Having traveled around the island nation for three weeks, she and a friend had decided to spend their last few days relaxing by the hotel's rooftop pool.</p> |
|

-<p>Nearby, Suki Lu, a recently arrived 28-year-old Chinese television presenter, is impressed at what she sees.</p> |

|

-<p>The largest single group of visitors to the Gran Hotel Manzana – one-fifth of the total – are tourists from the United States, although there are plenty of visitors from Europe, Asia and the Middle East.</p> |
|
| 1962 |
-<p>The Kempinski group, which hopes to open two or three more hotels in Cuba, is of course not the only chain to show an interest in the ultra-luxury market.</p> |
|
| 1963 |
-<p>In September 2018, Spain's Iberostar opened its second five-star hotel, the Grand Packard.</p> |
|
| 1964 |
-<p>French hotel giant Accor is planning on opening its own luxury establishment on the Malecon, Havana's famous seaside boulevard, in September.</p> |
|
| 1965 |
-<p>It will include a chocolate shop on its ground floor and a restaurant and concert space on its roof.</p> |
|
| 1966 |
-<p>The employees' outfits will be designed by Spanish fashion designer Agatha Ruiz de la Prada.</p> |
|

-<p><strong>US BLACKLIST</strong></p> |
|
| 1968 |
-<p>However, there is a slight catch: in every case, the hotels are owned by Gaviota, the Cuban army's branch dedicated to tourism.</p> |
|
| 1969 |
-<p>The foreign hotel groups are only allowed to run the establishments, all built by French group Bouygues, which has a long-standing local presence.</p> |
|
| 1970 |
-<p>Authorities don't publish the army's revenues, but this alliance between hoteliers and the military landed the luxury hotels on Washington's blacklist.</p> |

- <br><p>US tourists are technically banned from staying in the hotels – but the restriction can be easily circumvented by either paying in cash or booking through travel agents.</p> |
|
| 1976 |
-<p>Beyond hotels, developers have more ideas to entice those with deep pockets.</p> |
|
| 1977 |
-<p>"There's a plan to build golf courses in partnership with real estate groups," said industry expert Jose Luis Perello.</p> |
|
| 1978 |
-<p>The opening of a luxury hotel means Cuba has turned a corner, he said.</p> |
|
| 1979 |
-<p>"Since it opened up to international tourism more than 20 years ago, Cuba has focused all its plans and strategies" on "sun and beach tourism" for the masses, Perello said.</p> |
|
| 1980 |
-<p>That category currently accounts for 73 per cent of the 70,000 hotel rooms on offer in Cuba. And those who rent them usually don't spend much money.</p> |

- <br><p>The same goes for cruise ship tourists – while the number of cruises docking in Cuba has exploded, passengers only spend an average of US$15 a day on land.</p> |
|
| 1986 |
-<p>That isn't great news for Cuba, which welcomed 4.7 million tourists in 2018 – it needs the cash.</p> |
|
| 1987 |
-<p>The government, which has been subjected to US sanctions since 1962, used to depend on aid from its oil-rich ally Venezuela.</p> |
|
| 1988 |
-<p>But with Venezuela in turmoil, Cuba is scrambling for other sources of hard currency and its economic growth has stagnated at around one per cent – not enough to cover the population's basic needs.</p> |
|
| 1989 |
-<p>Opening luxury hotels is "a new stage," but also "a necessity," Tourism Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz says.</p> |

-<p>Sajid Javid has been accused of moral cowardice and âtreating the UK as a banana republicâ in pursuit of his leadership ambitions following the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/mar/08/shamima-begum-confusion-after-reports-newborn-son-may-have-died" title="" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">death of Jarrah</a>, the three-week-old son of Isis bride Shamima Begum.</p> |

-<p>A Church of England bishop and a former director of public prosecutions led the chorus of outrage directed at the home secretary as demand grew for him to review his controversial decision to strip the 19-year-old of British citizenship â a move that left her stateless and her baby in legal limbo.</p> |
|
| 118 |
-<p>âThis was an abject decision by a home secretary apparently so intent on furthering his leadership ambitions that he has lost sight of sovereignty, treating the UK as a banana republic incapable of regulating its own citizens,â said Lord Macdonald, who was director of public prosecutions of England and Wales between 2003 and 2008.</p> |

|
| 137 |
-</figcaption></figure><p>The peer, who oversaw a 2010 government review of counter-terrorism and security powers, told the <em>Observer </em>that Javidâs âopportunism has other costs, including a more dangerous world where stateless individuals roam with no allegiance, and the death of unprotected innocents, in this case a vulnerable British babyâ. And he warned of blowback to the UK.</p> |
|
| 138 |
-<p>âNo dignified self-governing state should abandon responsibility for its own citizens in this way, trying to dump them on to poorer countries with failed security arrangements. Mr Javidâs behaviour is a recipe for refugee chaos and moral cowardice of the worst sort,â he said.</p> |
|
| 139 |
-<p>The bishop of St Albans, the Rt Rev Dr Alan Smith, said: âShe should come back, be properly interviewed and, if itâs found that she has broken the law, she should face the law. If itâs found that she has been radicalised, she should be given help and support.</p> |
|
| 140 |
-<p>âThe home secretary has a responsibility to ensure people in this country are protected. We could have done this by taking her through due process and it is to be regretted if we are not following it, because this is a human rights issue.â</p> |
|
| 141 |
-<p>Begum, from Bethnal Green, east London, was 15 when she and two other schoolgirls went to join Isis in February 2015. She gave birth in a Syrian refugee camp last month, having already lost two children. </p> |
|
| 142 |
-<p>News that a third child had now died has left her relatives in London distraught. The Begum familyâs lawyer, Tasnime Akunjee, said: âThey are utterly crushed and despondent at the moment.â</p> |
|
| 143 |
-<p>Javidâs decision to strip the teenager of her British citizenship <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/feb/21/shamima-begum-citizenship-decision-sets-a-dangerous-precedent" title="" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">triggered a ferocious debate</a> over whether she should be allowed to return and raised questions about the legality of his decision.</p> |

-<p>Shadow home secretary Diane Abbott <a href="https://twitter.com/HackneyAbbott/status/1104104541740507138" title="" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">tweeted yesterday</a>: âIt is against international law to make someone stateless, and now an innocent child has died as a result of a British woman being stripped of her citizenship. This is callous and inhumane.â</p> |
|
| 145 |
-<p>Lib Dem home affairs spokesperson Ed Davey said: âMany of us feared this tragic outcome when the home secretary washed his hands of Britainâs responsibility for a British citizen and a British baby. If the courts eventually show he has acted illegally in making a British citizen stateless, we will remember this baby in holding him to account.â</p> |
|
| 146 |
-<p>Several fellow Conservative MPs have also expressed anger at Javidâs position. Bracknell MP Phillip Lee said he was deeply concerned by the decision, which he believed was âdriven by a sort of populismâ.</p> |
|
| 147 |
-<p>Anna Soubry, who left the Tories to join the Independent Group, tweeted that Javid must now restore Begumâs citizenship. âShamima Begum is our responsibility, whatever she may or may not have done, however abhorrent her views,â she said.</p> |
|
| 148 |
-<p>There are claims that Javid did not consult either the attorney general or the solicitor general before making his decision, something that could leave him vulnerable in the event of a legal challenge. When asked if this was the case, a Home Office spokesman said: âWe do not comment on individual cases.â</p> |
|
| 149 |
-<p>Javid confirmed last month that Jarrah was a British citizen and said that he had considered the childâs interest when deciding to revoke Begumâs citizenship. But he told the Commons home affairs committee that it would be âincredibly difficultâ for the government to facilitate the return of a child from <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/syria" data-link-name="auto-linked-tag" data-component="auto-linked-tag" class="u-underline">Syria</a>.</p> |
|
| 150 |
-<p>Conservative party chairman Brandon Lewis defended Javid. âThe home secretary will have had advice and I know he made a decision based on what is in the national interest and the security of people here in the UK,â Lewis said. âThere is no question that the duty of a home secretary in this country is to keep British people safe.â</p> |
|
| 151 |
-<p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/mar/06/shamima-begum-must-be-allowed-to-keep-uk-citizenship-father-syria-isis" title="" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">The Begum family</a> in the UK are understood to be exploring their legal options, including bringing a private prosecution against the home secretary. Tasnime Akunjee said he will soon be flying out to Syria to help Begum prepare her appeal. âIâm going to Syria to meet somebody who has lost three kids, so I can show her some paperwork which is quite dense, and so I can obtain her signature. Itâs totally ridiculous,â said the lawyer.</p> |
|
| 152 |
-<p>Begumâs father, Ahmed Ali, speaking to the BBC from Bangladesh before he found out her baby had died, apologised to the British people but asked for their forgiveness, saying his daughter should be allowed back to the UK and âpunished if she had made any mistakeâ.</p> |
|
| 153 |
-<p>âShe was under age at that time, she couldnât understand that much. I suppose someone influenced her to do that,â he said. âI admit that she might have done wrong without realising it.â</p> |
|
| 154 |
-<p>Outside east London mosque on Saturday, few people wanted to discuss Begumâs situation. âI donât want to chat shit and be put on some watch list for saying I feel sorry for her,â said one man in his 20s. âWhat she did was wrong, but what theyâve done is worse. They used all this power of the state against a teenage girl and her baby â and for what?â</p> |
|
| 155 |
-<p>In a Punjabi cafe in Whitechapel, a family of four were split in their views. Parents Sobia and Rizwan discussed whether Javid had been right to deny Begum the chance to return to the UK.</p> |
|
| 156 |
-<p>âI donât think he did it with good intention,â said Sobia. âI understand why he did it, because he wants to show he wonât be soft on Muslims, but that was a babyâs life. He punished an innocent baby.â</p> |
|
| 157 |
-<p>However, her husband said it was important to demonstrate that there are serious consequences to joining Isis. Did he agree with the decision to make her stateless? âObviously not now, because her baby has died and we are supposed to be a civilised country. But what is the law around it? We should be using the proper laws. Why isnât the government going by their own rules?â</p> |

-<p>Italy’s ambassador to Pakistan, Stefano Pontecorvo, said on Saturday that the search team had confirmed that silhouettes spotted on the mountain “through telescope and pics beyond reasonable doubt” were the bodies of the two men.</p> |

-<p>On Twitter, Pontecorvo wrote: “With great sadness I inform that the search for Daniele Nardi and Tom Ballard is over as Alex Txikon and the search team have confirmed that the silhouettes spotted on Mummery at about 5,900 metres are those of Daniele and Tom. RIP.”</p> |
|
| 393 |
-<p>While the bodies were difficult to reach, rescuers promised that everything would be done to recover them. Ballard and Nardi last made contact on 24 February, from an elevation of 6,300 metres (20,670 feet). Nardi, 42, had attempted the Nanga Parbat summit several times before. In 2015, Ballard, 30, became the first person to solo climb all six major north faces of the Alps in one winter.</p> |

Dubbed “Killer Mountain”, Nanga Parbat is in Pakistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan area and is the ninth highest mountain in the world at 8,126 metres (26,660 feet). Two Pakistani mountaineers had joined the pair on the expedition but turned back because they thought the weather conditions too dangerous.</p> |
|
| 413 |
-<p>Nonetheless, spirits were high. In his last post on Facebook, on 19 February, Ballard wrote: “Basecamp life is becoming, almost, like a holiday while we wait for that elusive weather window. Many new and interesting drytooling boulder problems, luncheon in the sun and afternoon skiing. What more could you want?”</p> |

|
| 432 |
-<p>Ballard was born in Derbyshire but the family, which included his father, Jim, and younger sister, Kate, moved to the Scottish Highlands in 1995. In more recent years, Ballard had been living in Italy’s Dolomites mountain range with his father. On Facebook, Ballard’s girlfriend, Stefania Pederiva, wrote that her heart was “completely drowned” with sorrow. She added: “There are or will never be words suitable to describe the void you left.”</p> |

-<p>The cabinet minister in charge of <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/eu-referendum" data-link-name="auto-linked-tag" data-component="auto-linked-tag" class="u-underline">Brexit</a> has held detailed talks with Labour MPs who are championing plans for a second referendum – amid signs of mounting desperation inside Theresa May’s government about what to do if the prime minister’s deal suffers another crushing defeat on Tuesday.</p> |
|
| 650 |
-<p>Stephen Barclay, the Brexit secretary, called the meeting with Labour’s Peter Kyle and Phil Wilson in Downing Street last Thursday as negotiations with Brussels to resolve the deadlock over the Northern Ireland backstop floundered and ministers privately began to concede that May’s plan could be doomed.</p> |
|
| 651 |
-<p>Kyle told the <em>Observer</em> on Saturday that Barclay had “remained loyal to government policy”, which is to oppose any second referendum. But the MP for Hove said Barclay talked to him and Wilson for at least 45 minutes and was “fully engaged”.</p> |
|
| 652 |
-<p>Under <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/feb/09/back-theresa-may-brexit-deal-then-hold-peoples-vote-backbencher-plan" title="" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">the Kyle-Wilson plan</a>, which could receive <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/mar/09/labour-amendment-supporting-second-referendum-put-on-hold" title="" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">Labour’s official backing</a> after Tuesday’s vote but before Brexit day on 29 March, an amendment would be put down in parliament allowing MPs to approve May’s deal, but on the condition that it is then put to the country in a second public vote. The other option on the ballot paper would be to remain in the EU.</p> |
|
| 653 |
-<p>Kyle said: “Clearly the Brexit secretary is fully engaged in the battle to deliver support for the vote on Tuesday. But that didn’t stop him from engaging fully with the possibilities our compromise offers. We didn’t enter the meeting with expectations of converting him to our cause but we hope that government now understands what our plan offers, should a new direction be demanded by parliament in the coming days.”</p> |
|
| 654 |
-<p>A senior Downing Street source said May remained “100% opposed to a second referendum, with bells on” and insisted that she and all cabinet ministers were still determined to persuade enough Tory MPs and the 10 DUP members to rally behind her deal this week.</p> |
|
| 655 |
-<p>But – with little sign of progress in talks with Brussels – there is a growing recognition among ministers that all other options must now be considered to avoid a disastrous no-deal outcome. Backers of the Kyle-Wilson plan, including senior members of the shadow cabinet, accept that there is currently no parliamentary majority for a second referendum.</p> |
|
| 656 |
-<p>But they believe this could change if May’s deal goes down and no alternative to it can win sufficient parliamentary backing. In that event, they say that even the prime minister could see the merits of fighting for her deal out in the country.</p> |
|
| 657 |
-<p>A Downing Street source said on Saturday that the RAF plane that ferries the prime minister and senior ministers to EU capitals would be on standby this weekend in case further last-minute meetings with Europeanleaders in Brussels or elsewhere were called. Negotiations were continuing “at all levels” before Tuesday’s vote. “These are tough talks with the [European] commission which we are expecting to go right down to the wire,” said the source. “The PM, ministers and her negotiating team are intensely focused this weekend on making progress so that ultimately we can, in the country’s best interests, leave the EU with a deal.”</p> |
|
| 658 |
-<p>If May loses on Tuesday, she has said she will call a vote on Wednesday on whether parliament should rule out a no-deal Brexit and then a further one, probably on Thursday, on delaying Brexit. No decision has yet been made on whether Tory MPs will be granted free votes on the two amendments, and Downing Street has refused to say how May will herself vote on them.</p> |
|
| 659 |
-<p>It is understood that if she loses, the prime minister has not ruled out trying to bring back her deal to parliament a third time, nearer to Brexit day, when she would tell MPs that the only alternative to backing her would be a lengthy delay that could mean Brexit not happening at all.</p> |
|
| 660 |
-<p>Labour <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/mar/09/labour-amendment-supporting-second-referendum-put-on-hold" title="" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">will delay putting down an amendment in favour of a second referendum</a> until nearer Brexit day. Campaigners for a second public vote now believe that their best chance of success will be late in the process when there is no other viable option. This could even mean tabling the plans after 29 March, assuming Brexit has been delayed.</p> |

-<p>But the new Independent Group of MPs will table an amendment for a second referendum to take place after a series of indicative votes on alternatives to May’s deal had been held.</p> |
|
| 662 |
-<p>At least 40 Labour MPs – and all but about nine Tories – are said to be opposed to a second referendum, although party sources believe this would change if Jeremy Corbyn came out strongly in favour. Writing on theguardian.com, the Labour MP Jon Cruddas and the director of Hope not Hate, Nick Lowles, argue that another referendum will only be seen as “legitimate” if the option of no-deal is also put on the ballot paper.</p> |
|
| 663 |
-<p>A poll by BMG for the anti-Brexit youth campaigns Our Future Our Choice and For Our Future’s Sake (details on theguardian.com) shows that some 87% of young people who were ineligible to vote in the 2016 referendum, but would now be old enough to do so, and would definitely take part, would back Remain. Some two million young people who could not vote last time due to their age would now be able to do so.</p> |

-</aside><p>As the official did so, the president <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1104503216111321089" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">was on Twitter calling</a> the hard-right commentator Ann Coulter a “Wacky Nut Job” for questioning his success on the wall.</p> |
|
| 896 |
-<p>Coulter, previously a supporter of the president and the author of a book entitled In Trump We Trust, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/02/15/trump-said-conservative-pundits-dont-decide-policy-then-praised-his-favorite-talk-show-hosts/?utm_term=.1b3b13139f2a" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">has turned on him</a> over his failure to secure funding for the wall by conventional means.</p> |
|
| 897 |
-<p>Late on Saturday, after a day’s golf in Florida, the president tweeted that “Wacky Nut Job Ann Coulter … still hasn’t figured out that, despite all odds and an entire Democrat Party of Far Left Radicals against me (not to mention certain Republicans who are sadly unwilling to fight), I am winning on the Border.</p> |
|
| 898 |
-<p>“Major sections of Wall are being built and renovated, with MUCH MORE to follow shortly. Tens of thousands of illegals are being apprehended (captured) at the Border and NOT allowed into our Country. With another President, millions would be pouring in. I am stopping an invasion as the Wall gets built.”</p> |
|
| 899 |
-<p>The tweets from Trump represented a harshening of rhetoric since January, during the record-breaking government shutdown over his demands for a wall. Then, the president mused that Coulter might have turned against him <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/427193-trump-hits-ann-coulter-maybe-i-didnt-return-her-phone-call-or" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">because he did not return her calls</a>. On Saturday, Coulter did not immediately return his tweet.</p> |
|
| 900 |
-<p>The official who spoke anonymously about the budget, to the Associated Press, said the White House would propose serious cuts in safety net programs used by many Americans and other non-defense accounts. That will probably trigger a showdown with Congress.</p> |
|
| 901 |
-<p>It is unclear how much more money the president will seek to build the wall on the border with Mexico. The request is coming on top of the $8.1bn Trump already has access to, which includes some $3.6bn he has trying to shift from military accounts after declaring a national emergency. Trump invoked the emergency declaration last month after Congress denied his request for $5.7bn. Instead, Congress approved nearly $1.4bn for the border barriers, far less than he wanted.</p> |
|
| 902 |
-<p>The president’s Republican allies in the Senate, uneasy over the emergency declaration, are poised next week to debate terminating it. Some view it as an overreach of executive power. Congress appears to have enough votes to reject Trump’s declaration, but not to overturn his expected veto of their action.</p> |

-</aside><p>Budgets are mainly seen as blueprints for White House priorities. But they are often panned on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers craft the appropriation bills that eventually fund the government if the president signs them into law.</p> |
|
| 921 |
-<p>Trump’s budget for the 2020 fiscal year will increase requests for some agencies while reducing others to reflect those priorities. Reductions are proposed, for example, for the Environmental Protection Agency.</p> |
|
| 922 |
-<p>The official said Congress had ignored the president’s spending cuts for too long. The federal budget was bloated with wasteful spending, the official said, and the administration remained committed to balancing the budget.</p> |
|
| 923 |
-<p>The cuts being requested by the White House would hit discretionary spending as well as some mandatory safety net programs, which Trump has proposed in the past. Many Republicans are eager to reduce government spending but Congress has had trouble passing bills that seriously slash the safety net programs used by many Americans.</p> |

-</aside><p>âIâm here to support President Maduro ⦠he is the constitutional president of our Bolivarian Republic of <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/venezuela" data-link-name="auto-linked-tag" data-component="auto-linked-tag" class="u-underline">Venezuela</a>,â said MarÃa Reyes, a 52-year-old housewife who was among the crowds at a pro-Maduro rally in central Caracas. She said she was there to defend Hugo Chávezâs political heir and denounce âthe imposter Guaidóâ as a threat to peace.</p> |
|
| 1168 |
-<p>Experts blame the massive power cut on poor maintenance, incompetence and corruption. But Maduro and his backers claim it was <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/mar/08/venezuela-blackout-caused-by-us-attack-defence-minister-says" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">part of a US plot</a> to destroy Chávezâs leftist Bolivarian revolution and force him from power.</p> |
|
| 1169 |
-<p>âWe condemn this cowardly terrorist attack,â <a href="https://twitter.com/evoespueblo/status/1104441837044056064" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">tweeted</a> Boliviaâs president, Evo Morales, one of Maduroâs few remaining regional allies.</p> |
|
| 1170 |
-<p>Reyes said she believed that version, but was also willing to countenance opposition claims that the blackout was caused by government failings. âPerhaps it was a lack of maintenance. We arenât ruling any hypothesis out,â she said.</p> |
|
| 1171 |
-<p>Oskar Oramas, a 24-year-old student activist for Maduroâs ruling Socialist party, said he was protesting the âescalation of persecutionâ against his government by the US. âI have come to take a stand against the United States because they have made it clear they are our enemies ⦠We will defeat them because we are experts in peace,â he added.</p> |
|
| 1172 |
-<p>âThey want to turn us into another Syria and we will not allow this to happen,â one activist shouted from a red sound truck bearing the slogan: âHere you donât speak badly of Chávez!â</p> |
|
| 1173 |
-<p>In cities across Venezuela, members of the opposition poured on to the streets to demand political change amid fears that Maduroâs security forces would seek to put down anti-government protests with force.</p> |
|
| 1174 |
-<p>âThey have destroyed a whole country,â demonstrator Jorge Lulo, a psychologist, told the <a href="https://twitter.com/EfectoCocuyo/status/1104404811200585728" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">Efecto Cocuyo</a> website as he marched in Caracas carrying his countryâs red, yellow and blue tricolor. âWe are fighting to escape from tyranny.â</p> |
|
| 1175 |
-<p>Guaidó, who most western governments have recognised as Venezuelaâs legitimate president, told supporters at the rally: âRight now we are [protesting] in more than 50 cities around the country in order to bring an end to the darkness, the hunger and the misery.â</p> |
|
| 1176 |
-<p>Speaking through a loudhailer, he urged demonstrators to remain mobilised âuntil we achieve the freedom of Venezuelaâ and announced that he would summon a peaceful march on the capital at a yet-to-be announced date.</p> |
|
| 1177 |
-<p>âToday this [tragedy] has a name and a surname ⦠Nicolás Maduro!â, Guaidó said to loud cheers.</p> |
|
| 1178 |
-<p>The latest chapter of Venezuelaâs long-running political crisis began on 23 January when Guaidó, a young opposition leader, declared himself the legitimate interim president. He was quickly recognised by regional powers including Brazil, Colombia and the US, and anti-government demonstrations ensued, leaving many convinced that Maduroâs fall was imminent.</p> |
|
| 1179 |
-<p>Those predictions did not come to pass, however, and the opposition challenge had appeared to be losing steam. Last week, however, Guaidó made his return to Venezuela after conducting a tour of South America in violation of a travel ban imposed by Maduroâs government.</p> |
|
| 1180 |
-<p>Efforts to unseat Maduro may also be re-energised by this weekâs power cut, which left hospitals and homes without power, and reinforced opposition to him.</p> |
|
| 1181 |
-<p>âThis is a joke,â complained one disillusioned civil servant who was looking on as the pro-Maduro march passed down Avenida Mexico in Caracas. âWeâve got no electricity and theyâre using the generators to stage a march rather than sending them to the hospitals.â</p> |
|
| 1182 |
-<p>âHis government is like a cancer,â added a woman, who asked not to be named for fear of reprisals. âThis government is a goner.â</p> |
|
| 1183 |
-<p>On Saturday, anti-Maduro marches were also reported in cities across the country including <a href="https://twitter.com/TVVnoticias/status/1104392428600127488" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">Barcelona</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/carlosi_suarez/status/1104401918586171393" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">Barquisimeto</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/ReporteYa/status/1104400922845896711" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">Coro</a>, <a href="http://www.el-nacional.com/noticias/sociedad/habitantes-nueva-esparta-salieron-las-calles-apoyo-juan-guaido_274010" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">La Asunción</a>, Maracaibo<em> </em>and Puerto Ordaz.</p> |
|
| 1184 |
-<p>The power outage, which continues to blight large swathes of Venezuela, has also sparked fears that the South American country could enter a period of disorder.</p> |
|
| 1185 |
-<p>âItâs a tinderbox, and Maduroâs survival thus far gives a false sense of stability,â said Benjamin Gedan, the national security councilâs Venezuela adviser during the Obama presidency. âA sustained blackout could ⦠spark widespread dissent.â</p> |

-<p><a href="https://www.wola.org/people/geoff-ramsey/" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">Geoff Ramsey</a>, a Venezuela expert at the Washington Office on Latin America, said that despite the battle of rhetoric between Maduro and Guaidó, he believed some kind of back-channel talks were taking place that could lead to a peaceful settlement.</p> |
|
| 1187 |
-<p>âI get the sense things are happening behind the scenes. I am more optimistic than I was, say, a month ago about the prospect of some kind of non-violent, negotiated transition,â Ramsey said.</p> |
|
| 1188 |
-<p>Addressing his rally on Saturday, Maduro lashed out at his political foes in Venezuela and the US and accused âinfiltrated coup-mongers and saboteursâ of attacking the countryâs electricity system in a high-tech bid to topple him.</p> |
|
| 1189 |
-<p>âWe are at war,â Maduro said. âWe have been at war for 20 years.â</p> |

|
| 1467 |
-<p>Cohen previously told the Senate intelligence committee conversations about a potential Trump Tower Moscow ended before February 2016, when primary voting began. It was later uncovered, through his cooperation with the special counsel, that attempts to reach a deal continued until at least that summer, past the point at which Trump had in effect secured the Republican nomination.</p> |
|
| 1468 |
-<p>Cohen, who will begin a three-year prison sentence in May, has said he received an implicit order from Trump to lie to Congress. The president denies it. The presidentâs former lawyer and fixer also said two of Trumpâs children, Donald Trump Jr and Ivanka Trump, were briefed on Trump Tower Moscow approximately 10 times, contradicting their claims of minimal knowledge of the discussions.</p> |

-<p> A ferry collided with what was believed to be a marine animal off a Japanese island on Saturday, injuring more than 80 people, local media reported.</p> |
|
| 1704 |
-<p>The incident happened just after noon off Sado island, Kyodo News agency reported.</p> |
|
| 1705 |

|
| 1706 |
-<p>The ferry, which departed from Honshu’s Niigata port, was carrying 121 passengers and four crew members.</p> |

-<p>A former member of the Irish Defence Forces who converted to radical Islam has been detained in <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/syria" data-link-name="auto-linked-tag" data-component="auto-linked-tag" class="u-underline">Syria</a>, according to reports in Irish newspapers.</p> |
|
| 1906 |
-<p>The woman is thought to be from the north-east of the republic and left the country several years ago. The Irish Times reports that she is believed to be in her late 30s, and left the forces in 2011, having served in an infantry unit and the countryâs air corps.</p> |
|
| 1907 |
-<p>The Garda released a statement saying: âAn Garda SÃochána is aware of an Irish woman who left <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/ireland" data-link-name="auto-linked-tag" data-component="auto-linked-tag" class="u-underline">Ireland</a> three or four years ago having become radicalised. She was previously a member of the Irish Defence Forces.â</p> |
|
| 1908 |
-<p>Her existence appears to have been revealed 10 days ago, when an ITV news crew visited a camp in northern Syria. While they interviewed people alleged to be foreign fighters and their families, the crew noticed that one woman spoke with an Irish accent.</p> |
|
| 1909 |
-<p>The woman told ITV: âThe people donât have food. Theyâre struggling for food and money and everything is expensive, so I donât know how theyâre going to keep living.â</p> |
|
| 1910 |
-<p>A spokesman for Irelandâs Department of Foreign Affairs said: âWhere possible, we will provide consular assistance, but we do not comment on individual cases.â</p> |
|
| 1911 |
-<p>A source told the Irish Times that as the woman had not contacted the Irish government, she could not be offered consular assistance. They said: âUntil we get a request for her for assistance, there is little we can do.â</p> |
|
| 1912 |
-<p>A spokesman for the Ministry for Justice in Ireland said they were aware of the woman, but that âit would not be appropriate to comment on the detail of security matters, or indeed on individual casesâ.</p> |

-<p>A 64-year-old woman allegedly hired four Sicilian mafia henchmen to murder her ex-lover who had stolen her jewels, according to police. The killers, all Sicilians, carried out their order by walling the man in cement while he was still alive.</p> |

-</aside><p>The victim, named as Lamaj Astrid, a 41-year-old Albanian national, disappeared without a trace in 2013. Six years later, an investigation in Sicily by anti-mafia prosecutors in Caltanissetta province led to the discovery of his corpse sealed inside a concrete pillar in a villa in Senago, a few kilometres from Monza on the mainland.</p> |
|
| 2147 |
-<p>The man’s body was found in January while the villa was being renovated, but the authorities only disclosed the news on Friday.</p> |
|
| 2148 |
-<p>The four alleged killers, arrested in Sicily, were linked to a powerful mafia family from Riesi, in Caltanissetta. They are accused of murder and concealing a corpse. After learning of the discovery of the body of her ex-lover, the woman reportedly attempted to flee via Genoa airport. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk/police" data-link-name="auto-linked-tag" data-component="auto-linked-tag" class="u-underline">Police</a> arrested her before she could leave.</p> |
|
| 2149 |
-<p>According to investigators, the woman could not accept being jilted and had not forgiven the man for having stolen some of her jewellery. She reportedly decided to take revenge by contacting a group of men she knew in Sicily to organise the killing. “The woman had important contacts in the Riesi mafia,” a police commander <a href="https://milano.repubblica.it/cronaca/2019/03/08/news/cadavere_murato_senago_villa_omicidio-220993632/" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">told the newspaper La Repubblica</a>. “A mafia boss would have finally given the OK for the murder to go ahead. The Sicilian hitmen then went to northern Italy to execute the order.”</p> |
|
| 2150 |
-<p>The man’s body was identified from shreds of his clothing that were recovered from the pillar’s cavity.</p> |
|
| 2151 |
-<p>‘‘The act of walling up bodies was a very common practice by the Sicilian mafia,” said Salvatore Lupo, a professor of contemporary history at the University of Palermo and a renowned expert in the history of Italy’s so-called Cosa Nostra.</p> |
|
| 2152 |
-<p>“It is a very rational practice because if the body is not found, police investigations are slowed down,” said Lupo. “Other times, however, the mafia wants the corpses to be found to send out a message. If a victim talked to police about their business, he was killed and a stone was put in his mouth. If instead the victim stole money or was too greedy, the killers put banknotes on his genitals.’’</p> |
|
| 2153 |
-<p>In 2009, the skeleton of a man was found in a cave in Rocca Busambra, near Corleone. A DNA test and a long investigation confirmed that <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-18147283" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">the corpse belonged to the local trade unionist Placido Rizzotto</a>, killed by Corleone bosses in 1948. To date, according to investigators, <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/10/06/police-in-sicily-discover-remote-cavern-full-of-bodies-believed/" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">there are dozens if not hundreds of mafia victims whose bodies</a> have never been found.</p> |

|

-<p>The former San Antonio mayor Julian Castro, the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/mar/04/john-hickenlooper-2020-democrats-president-election" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">former Colorado governor John Hickenlooper</a> and <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/mar/01/jay-inslee-2020-presidential-bid-climate-change-democrats" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">Washington’s governor, Jay Inslee</a>, will speak on Sunday.</p> |
|
| 2392 |
-<p>Klobuchar, who has been dogged by <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/feb/10/amy-klobuchar-2020-announces-run-minnesota-senator" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">reports of mistreating her staff,</a> was asked about the allegations and repeated a defense she used <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/amy-klobuchar-responds-staff-reports_us_5c5f9dcae4b0eec79b241d0e" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">last month at a rally</a>.</p> |
|
| 2393 |
-<p>“I have high expectations for myself and I have high expectations for the people who work for me and I have high expectations for this country,” she said.</p> |
|
| 2394 |
-<p>Klobuchar said she was “sometimes too tough” on the people who worked for her, then moved on to questions about the crowded Democratic field and tech policy.</p> |
|
| 2395 |
-<p>She said she wanted to investigate how tech firms such as Facebook and Google have monopolized power and obtained vast amounts of user data.</p> |
|
| 2396 |
-<p>“The first thing we do is privacy legislation,” Klobuchar said. “Second thing we do is look at how much they’re making off of us.”</p> |
|
| 2397 |
-<p>Hours later, Warren faced an audience that included employees of Amazon, Facebook and Google and explained <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/mar/08/elizabeth-warren-amazon-facebook-google-big-tech-break-up-blogpost" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">the pledge she made on Friday</a> to rein in the influence such big-tech companies have on American lives.</p> |
|
| 2398 |
-<p>Warren said a problem had emerged in the tech industry where companies such as Amazon have data on buyers and sellers and are able to compete in online markets in a different way from average sellers and small businesses.</p> |
|
| 2399 |
-<p>“My view on this is: it’s a little like baseball,” Warren said. “You can be an umpire, a platform, or you can own teams, that’s fine. But you can’t be an umpire and own teams.”</p> |
|
| 2400 |
-<p>In a quick-fire round of questions, Warren said she thought hype directed at the New York representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who <a href="https://schedule.sxsw.com/2019/events/PP102405" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">was </a><a href="https://schedule.sxsw.com/2019/events/PP102405" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline"> to speak later Saturday evening at SXSW</a>, was justified.</p> |
|
| 2401 |
-<p>She also said she read two books per week, mostly by listening to audiobooks, and confessed that her drink of choice was the beer Michelob Ultra, “the club soda of beers”.</p> |
|
| 2402 |
-<p>Three underdog candidates are also scheduled to speak at the festival, at <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/28/politics/cnn-sxsw-town-hall-delaney-gabbard-buttigieg/index.html" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">a CNN-hosted town hall</a> on Sunday night. They are the former Maryland congressman John Delaney; the South Bend, Indiana, mayor Pete Buttigieg; and the Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.</p> |
|
| 2403 |
-<p>The California senator Kamala Harris, a heavyweight contender, will not appear. On Saturday, she was due <a href="https://abcnews4.com/news/local/kamala-harris-makes-third-visit-to-south-carolina-as-a-presidential-candidate" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">to appear in South Carolina</a>. Hickenlooper and the Vermont senator Bernie Sanders were visiting Iowa.</p> |
|
| 2404 |
-<p>In Austin on Saturday, the former <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/texas" data-link-name="auto-linked-tag" data-component="auto-linked-tag" class="u-underline">Texas</a> congressman Beto O’Rourke attended the premiere of a documentary chronicling his long-shot US Senate campaign that ended in a narrow defeat by the hardline Republican incumbent, Ted Cruz. O’Rourke has not yet announced if he will run for president.</p> |
|
| 2405 |
-<p>The film, Running with Beto, will air on HBO and was cobbled together from 700 hours of campaign footage. After its premiere, O’Rourke, who attended with his wife and daughter, said he had made up his mind about whether to run or not and plans to let everyone know soon.</p> |
|
| 2406 |
-<p>O’Rourke briefly took questions from reporters but provided no details. Seeing the documentary was “very emotional”, he said.</p> |

-<p><span class="drop-cap"><span class="drop-cap__inner">T</span></span>he 10-storey hotel at 5 Falirou street in Athens was always going to stand out. Built to impress, its handsomely modernist wood-panelled facade added a contemporary touch to the streetscape of the otherwise lacklustre popular Makriyanni area beneath the Acropolis.</p> |
|
| 2639 |
-<p>But as local residents watched it go up over the winter, they became ever more concerned. By February, when it had reached 31.5 metres, the hotel was the tallest building in the neighbourhood and had started to impede what had once been uninterrupted views of the Parthenon and the 5000BC monument’s fortified walls.</p> |

-</aside><p>“Suddenly, it was taller than the new Acropolis museum itself,” said Irini Frezadou, pointing to the building from her rooftop down the road. “This is meant to be an area of archaeological protection. Our zoning laws are partly to blame but a construction of such gigantic dimensions was never approved by the central archaeological council.”</p> |
|
| 2658 |
-<p>Battle lines are being drawn in the skies above Athens’ historic city centre from the rooftops of locals galvanised into action by the prospect of multi-storey buildings being constructed within metres of the Periclean masterpiece, one of the world’s premier heritage sites.</p> |
|
| 2659 |
-<p>With word spreading of a “wall of high-rise hotels” being planned around the Acropolis in the coming years, Frezadou, a Swiss-trained architect and urban planner, is spearheading a campaign to stop the building spree, initiating a petition on the online activist network <a href="https://secure.avaaz.org/en/petition/?source=dohpl" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">Avaaz</a> that has already collected upwards of 25,000 signatures.</p> |
|
| 2660 |
-<p>“Clearly, what we need urgently in the name of sustainability is new building and urban planning rules,” she said.</p> |

-</figcaption></figure><p>Frezadou does not have to look far to get angry. The grassy plot behind her own apartment block has been designated for an even bigger hotel with three underground parking floors and a pool garden on top.</p> |
|
| 2680 |
-<p>Activists have gone to Greece’s highest administrative court, the Council of State, to ask for permits for approval to be revoked.</p> |
|
| 2681 |
-<p>“We are not taking any chances,” said Andreas Papapetropoulos, the lawyer representing the campaigners, adding that hundreds have signed a class action suit brought before the court in recent weeks. “We’re not absurdist, we recognise Athens has a need for good hotels, but not at the expense of our greatest monument. We will campaign for the building on Falirou street not to be demolished but certainly reduced in height.”</p> |
|
| 2682 |
-<p>Far from being a hub for <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/oct/03/greek-police-fire-teargas-at-pensioners-during-anti-austerity-protest-athens" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">violent anti-austerity protests</a> synonymous with the country’s economic crisis, its reputation not that long ago, Athens is in the grip of an unprecedented tourist boom.</p> |
|
| 2683 |
-<p>Makriyanni, like Koukaki, its adjacent neighbourhood south of the Acropolis, are go-to places for the ever-increasing Airbnb tourists flocking to a city that is expected to host more than 5 million visitors this year – nearly half of the country’s entire population.</p> |
|
| 2684 |
-<p>But the influx has come at a cost. Increasingly, international investors are taking advantage of controversial construction regulations passed at the height of the crisis that permit bigger and taller buildings if they meet “green” standards.</p> |
|
| 2685 |
-<p>None know this better than Elliniki Etairia, a conservation watchdog housed in a neo-classical building in Plaka, Athens’ oldest continuously inhabited district, directly below the ancient citadel. “When we heard that buildings were going up that were obscuring views of the Acropolis, the symbol of democracy, we immediately saw it as a national emergency and began bombarding every government office that we could,” said Lydia Carras, the organisation’s president.</p> |
|
| 2686 |
-<p>“There are certain views, not many in the world, that are views of identity, and the Parthenon is one of them that at all costs has to be preserved.”</p> |

-</figcaption></figure><p>Unlike other major European metropolises, Athens escaped the phenomenon of the high-rise precisely because of the fear that multi-storey blocks would overshadow the capital’s greatest showpiece. As a result only one, a 28-storey bloc known as the Athens Tower, was constructed under the curatorship of Greece’s then-military dictatorship in the 1970s.</p> |
|
| 2706 |
-<p>Under pressure, Athens’ leftist government announced this week that the new construction licences in the archaeological buffer zone around the Acropolis would be temporarily suspended. Pledging to create a committee to review zoning laws in the area, it said permits for buildings higher than 17.5 metres would be banned for the next year.</p> |
|
| 2707 |
-<p>Insisting on everyone’s right to view the monument, Greece’s culture minister, Myrsini Zorba, acknowledged the protests had to be taken into account. “A view is a cultural good and in no circumstance can it be turned into a privilege for the few. We ought to be responsive to the protest of civil society so that rule of law and a sense of justice are upheld.”</p> |
|
| 2708 |
-<p>However, privately culture ministry officials admit they are in a bind, hamstrung by laws that allow for taller buildings. “As archaeologists we are called to work in the ground, not up in the air,” said one. “This was legislation passed by the environment ministry.”</p> |
|
| 2709 |
-<p>Across Europe, conservationists are watching closely and they insist they will hold the Greek government to account. “This is an extremely important battle that has to be won,” said Sneška Quaedvlieg-Mihailović, the secretary general of Europa Nostra, widely regarded as the voice of cultural heritage in <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/europe-news" data-link-name="auto-linked-tag" data-component="auto-linked-tag" class="u-underline">Europe</a>.</p> |
|
| 2710 |
-<p>“We are not against new buildings of contemporary architecture but they have to respect the heritage settings of European cities. A view of the Acropolis is the most miraculous of any to be had,” she told the Guardian. “Fortunately, civil society has taken a very strong stance. What we expect now is a very clear signal from national authorities that not everything is for sale.”</p> |

The party’s <a href="https://www.latimes.com/world/asia/la-fg-thailand-princess-20190208-story.html">decision last month</a> to nominate the 67-year-old Ubolratana — a UCLA master’s graduate who relinquished her royal title when she married an American in 1972 but is still treated as royalty by Thais — stunned the nation and broke with a more than century-old tradition of the royal family avoiding elected office.</p> </div> |
|

-</div> <div data-type="text" class="card collection-item"> <div class=" card-content "> <p>It also raised the prospect of the return of Thaksin Shinawatra, the telecommunications tycoon and former prime minister who is linked to Thai Raksa Chart and lives in exile to avoid corruption charges that he says are politically motivated.</p> </div> |
|
| 849 |
-</div> <div data-type="text" class="card collection-item"> <div class=" card-content "> <p>Thaksin is regarded as a dangerous upstart by the military — which ousted him from office in 2006 — and by supporters of the royal family, who regard him as insufficiently deferential to the monarchy.</p> </div> |

Trump’s trade war with China — previously soybean farmers’ main customer — has especially hurt U.S. agriculture, driving down sales and market prices. For the industry in the Midwest and Great Plains states, it’s the worst crisis since the 1980s — a worrisome fact for the administration.</p> </div> |

China retaliated by imposing tariffs on imports of U.S. agricultural commodities including soybeans, grain sorghum and pork. Soybean exports to China have plummeted by more than 90%.</p> </div> |

-<p>The Islamic State’s territory in Iraq and Syria, once the size of Britain, has shriveled after four years of American-backed bombing and ground combat by Kurdish and Shiite militia fighters. What is left is a tiny village in southeast Syria that could fall any day.</p> |
|
| 376 |
-<p>But far from defeated, the movement has sprouted elsewhere. And here in the Mindanao island group of the southern Philippines, long a haven for insurgents because of dense wilderness and weak policing, the Islamic State has attracted a range of militant jihadists.</p> |

-<p>“ISIS has a lot of power,” said Motondan Indama, a former child fighter on the island of Basilan and cousin of Furuji Indama, a militant leader who has pledged fealty to the group. “I don’t know why my cousin joined, but it’s happening all over.”</p> |
|
| 390 |
-<p>The group first made a big push for southern Philippines recruitment in 2016, circulating videos online beckoning militants who could not travel to its self-proclaimed caliphate in Iraq and Syria. Hundreds of fighters poured in from as far away as Chechnya, Somalia and Yemen, intelligence officials said.</p> |
|
| 391 |
-<p>The next year, militants who had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/23/world/asia/isis-philippines-mindanao-marawi.html?module=inline" title="">took over the city of Marawi in Mindanao</a>. By the time the army prevailed five months later, the largest Muslim-majority city in the country lay in ruins. At least 900 insurgents were killed, including foreign fighters and Isnilon Hapilon, the Islamic State’s East Asia emir.</p> |

-<p>Mr. Duterte declared victory over the Islamic State. But his triumphalism apparently has not deterred its loyalists from regrouping.</p> |
|

-<p>“ISIS has money coming into the Philippines, and they are recruiting fighters,” said Rommel Banlaoi, chairman of the Philippine Institute for Peace, Violence and Terrorism Research. “ISIS is the most complicated, evolving problem for the Philippines today, and we should not pretend that it doesn’t exist because we don’t want it to exist.”</p> |

-<p>Since the Jan. 27 cathedral bombing on the island of Jolo, the Philippine military has responded with airstrikes and 10,000 soldiers in Jolo, according to Col. Gerry Besana, spokesman for the regional military command in the city of Zamboanga.</p> |

-<p>American surveillance drones monitor the southern Philippine archipelago, where the nation’s Muslim minority is concentrated and local insurgencies have long battled the Christian-majority state.</p> |
|
| 420 |
-<p>But even as the military offensive intensifies, the government avoids conceding that the Philippines is in the global slipstream of Islamist extremism. Top officials have played down incidents in which the Islamic State has sent foreign fighters and financing to the Philippines for deadly attacks. The violence, they often say, is squabbling between Muslim clans, or common banditry.</p> |
|
| 421 |
-<p>Within a week of the Jolo cathedral bombing, the police declared the case solved, blaming a local militant group, Abu Sayyaf, with scant acknowledgment of how many of its insurgents have partnered with the Islamic State.</p> |

-<p>In the 1990s, after Filipinos returned from the mujahedeen battlefields in Afghanistan and hard-line madrassas in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, local grievances fused with global calls for jihad. In a crescent-shaped swath of Southeast Asia, militants dreamed of a caliphate free of secular governance.</p> |

|
| 454 |
-<p>Later, as the Islamic State constructed its caliphate in the Middle East, it connected disparate militants in the Philippines under one ideological banner, said <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/04/opinion/isis-philippines-rodrigo-duterte.html?module=inline" title="">Sidney Jones</a>, the director of the Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict in Jakarta, Indonesia.</p> |

-<p>“The government didn’t recognize its strength in attracting everyone from university-educated students to Abu Sayyaf kids in the jungle,” Ms. Jones said. “Whatever happens to the pro-ISIS coalition in Mindanao, it has left behind the idea of an Islamic state as a desirable alternative to corrupt democracy.”</p> |
|

-<p>Basilan officials say the island is now safe from the Abu Sayyaf separatists who began their fight in 1991. No foreign fighters are hiding in the jungles, the local authorities insist, and they claim that the rebels have been reduced to about 20 trapped stragglers.</p> |

-<p>Mr. Indama, the former fighter who says he left Abu Sayyaf last year because he rejected the Islamic State’s ideology, claimed he saw foreign operatives in the Basilan jungle camps.</p> |
|
| 486 |
-<p>The idea that no overseas fighters have stolen onto Basilan was shattered last July when it was the site of the first suicide bombing in the Philippines.</p> |
|
| 487 |
-<p>The Islamic State claimed that the attack, which killed 11 people, had been the work of a Moroccan recruit. The Philippine authorities initially denied the attack had been by a suicide bomber, much less a foreigner. Weeks later, they admitted it had been carried out by a German-Moroccan suicide bomber.</p> |
|
| 488 |
-<p>Last year, a Spaniard was arrested in Basilan with bomb-making materials. An Egyptian carrying $19,000 in cash was also stopped on his way to Basilan, according to Mujiv Hataman, the governor of the autonomous Muslim region of the Philippines.</p> |
|
| 489 |
-<p>Mr. Hataman, who travels by armored convoy, expressed worry that if the bombing raids intensify in Jolo, militants will slip undetected into Basilan via small boats. Already, they travel among Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines over poorly patrolled seas.</p> |
|
| 490 |
-<p>“One problem goes away and another starts,” Mr. Hataman said.</p> |
|
| 491 |
-<p>Interior Secretary Eduardo Año has blamed the Jolo attack on an Indonesian couple, although Indonesian investigators say there is little evidence.</p> |

-<p>Colonel Besana acknowledged that a number of foreign fighters were hiding in the Jolo hills, under the command of Hatib Hajan Sawadjaan, who is believed to have replaced Mr. Hapilon as the regional Islamic State emir.</p> |
|
| 498 |
-<p>The Islamic State’s lure seems never far from the surface in the southern Philippines. At a government ceremony in Basilan where houses were awarded to former Abu Sayyaf rebels under a long-gestating peace deal to bring autonomy to the Muslim south, security was so heavy that they were outnumbered by Philippine soldiers.</p> |
|
| 499 |
-<p>Jem Habing, 22, a former Abu Sayyaf fighter who said he had joined at age 11, like many children in his village, seemed noncommittal when asked if he might rejoin.</p> |
|
| 500 |
-<p>“They convinced me that if you die in battle, you will be rewarded in the hereafter,” he said. “They said it was the right path.”</p> |

-<p>STELLENBOSCH, South Africa — One cold morning, Stefan Smit, a white farmer in South Africa’s stunning wine region, woke up to find his vineyard under siege.</p> |
|
| 583 |
-<p>Anxious and angry, Mr. Smit, 62, drove his pickup truck to the highest point on his estate and peered down. Impoverished residents from the black township next door had stormed the land, clearing weeds and erecting 40 shacks in a matter of hours.</p> |
|
| 584 |
-<p>“I, personally, can’t breathe here,” Mr. Smit said later.</p> |
|
| 585 |
-<p>Virtually overnight, Mr. Smit’s farm, with its sweeping views of the Stellenbosch region, became a battleground in a bitter political fight that has split the nation and reached all the way to the Trump White House: Who should own South Africa’s land?</p> |
|
| 586 |
-<p>The fight pits white South Africans, who still control much of the economy a generation after the end of apartheid, directly against their black neighbors, many of whom are struggling to acquire a tiny patch on which to build a shack.</p> |

-<p>In this fabled corner of South Africa, where Americans and other foreigners come to taste chenin blanc and pinotage, white farmers like Mr. Smit have been trying to hold on to a part of the country they consider their historic domain.</p> |
|
| 968 |
-<p>He and his white Afrikaner friends call it an invasion, part of a calculated effort by the governing African National Congress to capture the only province that remains out of its political control.</p> |
|
| 969 |
-<p>“People are being brought” from other parts of the country “just to create a voting bloc,” said Jan de Klerk, a friend of Mr. Smit’s and a son of F.W. de Klerk, the former president who negotiated the end of apartheid with Nelson Mandela. “It’s not skills coming into the town. It’s basically just people coming in, and there’s no room.”</p> |
|
| 970 |
-<p>The squatters say they moved in out of desperation. Life had barely changed for the men and women in the neighboring township, even a quarter-century after achieving democracy. They still lived in flimsy shacks in cramped quarters, while Mr. Smit and his friends hold vast tracts of land brutally snatched from African inhabitants generations ago and deliberately kept in white hands for decades to come.</p> |

-<p>The monopolies go far beyond private estates. Nearly 80 of the farms in Stellenbosch sit on public land. And most of them are locked in 50-year leases that local authorities signed with white farmers in the early 1990s, right before the end of apartheid, in exchange for private investments in water infrastructure, according to confidential municipal audits obtained by The New York Times.</p> |
|
| 977 |
-<p>The arrangements have enabled the farmers to maintain control of large stretches of public land long after the arrival of democracy.</p> |
|
| 978 |
-<p>“We see that land, we must take that land,” said Zola Ndlasi, 44, the man who led the takeover, as he walked among the new shacks. Because he came from the same region as Mr. Mandela, everyone called him by the same clan name, “Madiba.”</p> |

-<p>With only a few months to go before elections, this elemental struggle — over who owns South Africa — is playing out on a national level.</p> |
|
| 1006 |
-<p>Many black South Africans feel betrayed by the failure of the A.N.C., riddled with corruption, to provide access to land for the black majority.</p> |
|
| 1007 |
-<p>The A.N.C. has tried — halfheartedly, critics say — to redistribute some of it, but the party has failed repeatedly, angering black residents all the more. One A.N.C. program purchased land from willing white farmers, but was so tainted by corruption that politicians ended up with more land than the ordinary citizens who were supposed to benefit.</p> |
|
| 1008 |
-<p>In recent years, an A.N.C. spinoff, the Economic Freedom Fighters, has tapped into this anger by calling on black South Africans to take land on their own.</p> |

-<p>Having lost some of his party’s core supporters, President Cyril Ramaphosa, the A.N.C. leader, is now also pushing to change the Constitution to allow the expropriation of land without compensation.</p> |
|
| 1015 |
-<p>But eager to avoid international ire, Mr. Ramaphosa said during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January that his country would handle land reform “in a manner that takes the interests of all into account.”</p> |
|
| 1016 |
-<p>“We are not going to allow land grabs in South Africa,” Mr. Ramaphosa said.</p> |
|
| 1017 |
-<p>Many are deeply skeptical of his promises, warning of the seizure of white-owned farms that turned Zimbabwe, South Africa’s next-door neighbor, into an international pariah.</p> |

-<p>President Trump <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1032454567152246785" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">waded into the dispute</a> last year, echoing false or exaggerated allegations that white farmers were being forced off their land by the government and killed in large numbers. The president’s statement was a boon for AfriForum, <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/23/us/politics/trump-south-africa-land.html?module=inline" title="">a far-right group that advocates for Afrikaners</a> like Mr. Smit and enjoys popular support here in Stellenbosch.</p> |

-<p>Contrary to the claims, the law has sided with Mr. Smit. A judge ordered the squatters to vacate the farm, but most of the shacks have remained while the decision is being appealed. Now, the municipality is negotiating with Mr. Smit to buy the plot.</p> |
|
| 1318 |
-<p>The case has reverberated far beyond Stellenbosch because of the town’s singular place in South Africa’s past, present and future.</p> |
|
| 1319 |
-<p>Long before the region became famous for its wines, Stellenbosch University, an elite institution that until recently taught mostly in Afrikaans, produced many of apartheid’s leading politicians and thinkers — so much so that Stellenbosch is often called the cradle of apartheid.</p> |

-<p>Many executives of white-led companies have moved to town in the past two decades, leading critics of the nation’s enduring economic inequality to joke about political leaders “taking orders from Stellenbosch.”</p> |
|
| 1326 |
-<p>“It is a retreat, a redoubt,” said Jannie Gagiano, who taught political science at Stellenbosch University.</p> |
|
| 1327 |
-<p>Stellenbosch is also home to a neighborhood that tourists almost never see: a black township called Kayamandi, groaning under a fast-growing population and squeezed into some of the most crowded blocks in this part of South Africa. Kayamandi abuts a handful of wineries, some separated by high barbed-wire and electrified fences.</p> |

-<p>Newcomers arrive every day to Kayamandi, mostly from the impoverished Eastern Cape Province. The steady migration has made black South Africans the biggest racial group in Stellenbosch, outnumbering whites and people of mixed race, <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="http://www.statssa.gov.za/publications/Report%2003-01-07/Report%2003-01-072016.pdf" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">according to a 2016 population survey.</a></p> |
|
| 1355 |
-<p>To Mr. Smit and his friends, the changing demographics support their suspicions that the recent seizure was orchestrated by the nation’s leaders. Black voters are likely to back the A.N.C., while white and mixed-race South Africans tend to vote for another party, the Democratic Alliance, in this part of South Africa.</p> |
|
| 1356 |
-<p>“They bring the people down like fodder,” Mr. Smit said of the A.N.C.</p> |

-<p>Unlike his more famous namesake, Mr. Ndlasi — or “Madiba” to the squatters — does not dream of a rainbow nation.</p> |
|
| 1359 |
-<p>Mr. Ndlasi worked as a laborer for white businesses, then started organizing newcomers so desperate for housing that they rent shacks behind government-built homes. Writing letters and leading meetings, he pressed the municipality to build housing.</p> |

-<p>When angry protesters faced off with the Red Ants, Mr. Ndlasi was arrested for inciting violence, spending three nights in jail.</p> |
|
| 1802 |
-<p>“We are not fighting him,” Mr. Ndlasi said of Mr. Smit. “We can be friends if he don’t have that white attitude. Maybe he can think he’s better than us.”</p> |
|
| 1803 |
-<p>Mr. Ndlasi and other organizers then contacted a lawyer who told them about a local law: The squatters could not be evicted without a court order if they had lived in the shacks for two days or more.</p> |
|
| 1804 |
-<p>So one night last July, Mr. Ndlasi led men and women up the hill again.</p> |
|
| 1805 |
-<p>When the Red Ants came back a few days later, they faced an angry resistance. The police fired tear gas and pepper-sprayed the protesters.</p> |
|
| 1806 |
-<p>Lubabalo Mpiliso, 20, had built all but the roof of his shack. He hurled rocks but watched helplessly as the Red Ants ripped apart his zinc sheets and wooden frames. Undeterred, he patched together a new shack days later.</p> |
|
| 1807 |
-<p>“If I build a house, then I will leave this for my children,” said Mr. Mpiliso, who had been living in a two-bedroom government house with 10 members of his family.</p> |

-<p>The municipality of Stellenbosch acknowledges a housing shortage in Kayamandi, which had more than 7,000 shacks before the push into Mr. Smit’s farm. But while the town has resources to deal with the problem — it owns scores of farms — critics say its leaders are reluctant to build homes for fear of losing control of City Hall, especially with the arrival of black newcomers unlikely to vote for them.</p> |
|
| 1814 |
-<p>Municipal officials dismissed the allegation as “absolutely untrue,” countering that the squatters are trying to jump ahead of a long line of people waiting for housing.</p> |

-<p>“People just take land because they know what the political fight is,” said Wilhelmina Petersen, a municipal council speaker who belongs to the Democratic Alliance, which controls most of the town. “They test the country.”</p> |
|
| 1842 |
-<p>Mr. Ndlasi, too, is trying to gauge the political winds. He is quick to recount the corrupt ways of the A.N.C. and is waiting to see how many voters will break for the Economic Freedom Fighters in this year’s elections.</p> |
|
| 1843 |
-<p>But he is also getting pointers from a local A.N.C. leader, Midas Wanana, 43. During an interview, Mr. Wanana talked about making Mr. Ndlasi the face of the A.N.C. in the next elections.</p> |
|
| 1844 |
-<p>“We want to put him in front,” Mr. Wanana said. “He is a hero.”</p> |

-<p>Across the hill, Mr. Smit seemed like a feudal lord high up in his castle. Generations of township residents, who had never laid eyes on him, pictured him as an all-powerful figure. Some called him “the Italian,” confusing him for an Italian man who once worked for Mr. Smit’s father.</p> |
|
| 1847 |
-<p>In reality, Mr. Smit stayed away from the township — out of fear.</p> |
|
| 1848 |
-<p>“I never spoke to the people myself,” he said. “You don’t do that. It’s not un-dangerous. It’s not advisable.”</p> |

-<p>Business has been down in recent years. Few tourists visited his modest tasting room, choosing competitors often backed by foreign investors. His two daughters were away teaching English in Vietnam and Taiwan. He wants them to be happy somewhere they will be “able to breathe.”</p> |
|
| 1855 |
-<p>Before the end of apartheid, Mr. Smit benefited from the white monopoly over land and a steady supply of cheap black labor. His great-grandfather had cultivated grapes since the late 19th century on a property nearby. His father once owned the largest wine estate in the country, <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.louiesenhof.co.za/about/" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mr. Smit’s website</a> says.</p> |
|
| 1856 |
-<p>Black people had not been allowed to purchase land in Stellenbosch long before the apartheid government came to power in 1948. One of the farmers who bought the land before Mr. Smit’s family even had to demonstrate in the late 1930s that he was not a “native,” according to archived deeds reviewed by The Times.</p> |
|
| 1857 |
-<p>When Mr. Smit’s father bought the farm in the early 1960s, he had to file an affidavit confirming that he belonged to the “White Group.” And like some other white farmers, Mr. Smit locked up additional public land in a 50-year lease before the end of apartheid, in return for infrastructure investments estimated at more than $500,000, he said.</p> |

-<p>Still, Mr. Smit does not view land reform as a fair means of redress. The African ethnic groups that make up the majority of South Africa today did not live in this region when European settlers came to the Cape, he said, though he acknowledged that Europeans had violently displaced an indigenous group called the Khoi-San.</p> |
|

-<p>“Them, we must look into the face,” he said. “But others, it’s political.”</p> |

-<p>By late August, nearly a thousand shacks spread across Mr. Smit’s plot. With no electricity, many residents went to the township to charge their phones and cook. The municipality later installed two water taps and cleared ground to build some toilets.</p> |

-<p>For months, the new residents of Mr. Smit’s farm fought to avoid that fate, demonstrating with signs that said, “We need land, we took land.” Mr. Ndlasi led protest songs adopted from the apartheid era.</p> |
|
| 1904 |
-<p>In late October, while protesting in Stellenbosch, township residents hurled bricks at the municipality’s offices. Mr. Ndlasi and Mr. Wanana, the A.N.C. leader, were arrested, ultimately spending six weeks in jail.</p> |
|

-<p>AALST, Belgium — In Aalst, a small city northwest of Brussels, the Carnival parade is the main event of the year, where everyone and everything is mercilessly mocked, and drunkenness and a lack of taste are part of the mix.</p> |
|
| 1945 |
-<p>But this year, floats that the townspeople regarded as the customary shameless satire of their famed Carnival set off an uproar. One float in the parade on Sunday carried two giant figures of Orthodox Jews, with side curls and grotesquely large noses, sitting on bags of money. Another group paraded in the white hoods and robes of the Ku Klux Klan.</p> |
|
| 1946 |
-<p>At a time when expressions of anti-Semitism and racism are on the rise in many countries, images of the event quickly spread around the world, unleashing accusations of bigotry and historical ignorance.</p> |
|
| 1947 |
-<p>Some critics began an international campaign to push Unesco, the United Nations’ cultural organization, to withdraw its official recognition of the Aalst Carnival — one of Europe’s largest — as a “cultural heritage” event.</p> |

-<p>The controversy has revealed the wide sensitivity gap between some Belgian revelers inured to such blatant ethnic caricatures, and outsiders attuned to calling out racism and anti-Semitism.</p> |
|
| 1954 |
-<p>“It’s shocking beyond belief that within living memory of the Holocaust a Carnival parade in Europe would peddle such vile anti-Semitism,” <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://transatlanticinstitute.org/press-releases/ajc-outraged-over-anti-semitic-carnival-puppets-aalst-urges-belgian-government-react" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">said</a> Daniel Schwammenthal, director of the Brussels-based office of the American Jewish Committee.</p> |
|
| 1955 |
-<p>The condemnation has stung the mayor and residents of Aalst, who defended the displays as all in fun and the typical vulgar fare for their Carnival.</p> |
|
| 1956 |
-<p>“There are absolutely no bad intentions that lay at the basis, and I say this with the greatest respect for the Jewish community,” Mayor Christoph D’Haese said in a debate with a representative of the Belgian Jewish community on <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.vrt.be/vrtnu/a-z/van-gils-gasten/2019/van-gils%E2%80%94-gasten-d20190306/" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">national public television</a> on Wednesday.</p> |

|
| 1974 |
-<p>Ernesto Ottone Ramírez, a deputy director at Unesco in Paris, said in an interview on Friday, “Unesco will ask that a discussion on this particular case will take place.”</p> |
|
| 1975 |
-<p>He added that there should be broader discussion of whether Unesco’s cultural heritage recognitions “are still in accordance with Unesco’s mandate, and if not, whether their recognition should be revoked.”</p> |
|
| 1976 |
-<p>He condemned the floats, saying in <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://fr.unesco.org/news/lunesco-condamne-representations-racistes-antisemites-lors-du-carnaval-dalost-belgique-3-mars" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">an earlier statement</a>: “The satirical spirit of the Aalst carnival and freedom of expression cannot serve as a screen for such manifestations of hatred.”</p> |
|
| 1977 |
-<p>But this isn’t the first time Unesco has been aware of an offensive float in the parade.</p> |
|
| 1978 |
-<p>In 2013, Unesco condemned a display by a group that dressed up as Nazi officers, carrying what were made to look like cans of the gas used in concentration camps, and parading alongside a float evoking the trains that carried Jews to their deaths. The group said it was making fun of the mayor of Aalst, a Flemish nationalist.</p> |
|
| 1979 |
-<p>Carnival in Aalst, which has its roots in the Middle Ages, grew into one of the biggest such events in Europe over the past two centuries, in part because of its popularity among the city’s working-class citizens, who reveled in voicing their frustrations with local factory owners and the church, historians say.</p> |
|
| 1980 |
-<p>The parade, which takes place on the Sunday before Lent, is the pinnacle of a three-day feast.</p> |

-<p>Over the years, the targets of satire have included local and international political figures, monarchs, Nazis and members of minority groups, invariably depicted with exaggerated facial characteristics.</p> |
|
| 2000 |
-<p>The most popular theme is that of the “Voil Jeanetten,” Aalst dialect for the “Dirty Sissies,” which are men dressed up in whatever provocative female clothing they can find at home.</p> |
|
| 2001 |
-<p>This year, another Carnival group dressed up as members of the Ku Klux Klan in order, they said, to satirize Guy D’haeseleer, a far-right city councilor in the nearby town of Ninove.</p> |

-<p>That town is home to the brewery of the Witkap-Pater beer, which has a logo depicting a monk with a white hood. Mr. D’haeseleer was accused during a local election campaign last year of having spread racist propaganda, because of an earlier social media post in which he referred to black people as “chocolate mousse.”</p> |
|
| 2015 |
-<p>Other marchers in the parade painted their faces black and wore bakers’ outfits with the logo of Mr. D’haeseleer’s political party on their chests. Another group in blackface wore Muslim head coverings and dressed up as chocolate bars.</p> |
|
| 2016 |
-<p>Mr. D’haeseleer attended the Aalst parade and said he thought the displays were funny, “playful and well done.”</p> |
|
| 2017 |
-<p>“The anger of the Jewish community is completely absurd,” Mr. D’haeseleer said in a telephone interview on Friday. “I think it’s squeamish of those people that they feel targeted again. This is much ado about nothing, I think they totally blew this up and hereby undermine the particularity of Carnival.”</p> |

-<p>He added, “This is taking political correctness too far.”</p> |
|
| 2024 |
-<p>Europe’s religious and civic leaders said that especially in the European context, such a defense is unacceptable. Carnival depictions of Jews have often been more than just innocent merrymaking, they said.</p> |
|
| 2025 |
-<p>“The sight of anti-Semitic caricatures surrounded by money is indistinguishable from imagery used by the Nazis and is grossly offensive in a country where 25,000 Jews were murdered in the Holocaust,” said Moshe Kantor, president of the European Jewish Congress.</p> |
|
| 2026 |
-<p>This year, a group called De Vismooil’n created the float with the offensive Jewish figures. None of their members could be reached for comment.</p> |
|
| 2027 |
-<p>But Mr. Kruismans, the Aalst comedian and historian, said De Vismooil’n used the caricature of the rich Orthodox Jew who saves all of his money for the future to make fun of the group’s own money problems. The group decided to save money on this year’s float in order to spend more next year and have more chance of winning the annual competition, a practice known in local folkloric parlance as taking a “sabbatical.”</p> |
|
| 2028 |
-<p>To save money, Mr. Kruismans said, the figures depicting the Jews with the exaggerated facial expressions were reused from previous years, when they had been dressed before as non-Jewish characters.</p> |
|
| 2029 |
-<p>“This was not an orchestrated anti-Semitic propaganda campaign,” Mr. Kruismans said. “It was born out of thoughtlessness and an ill-advised attempt to recuperate an age-old caricature that bares latent anti-Semitism within it for the purpose of humor. And nobody thought it was witty, by the way.”</p> |
|
| 2030 |
-<p>But as part of its official application to join this year’s parade, the De Vismooil’n group wrote: “To save a little penny for next year, we’re taking a Sabbath year. Come and see our little safes during the parade, and you may see our mice save for next year. Love you, bye-bye and most of all don’t forget: Shalom!”</p> |

-<p>HEMEL HEMPSTEAD, England — Martin Bradford played guitar at a local venue for the better part of a decade, but he avoids the place now because performing there would mean working with its sound engineer.</p> |
|
| 2115 |
-<p>And that would not end well.</p> |
|
| 2116 |
-<p>Sipping a pint in a riverside pub, Mr. Bradford recalls how he casually mentioned his vote to leave the European Union and instantly lost a friend.</p> |
|
| 2117 |
-<p>“‘You’ve taken my retirement away,’” Mr. Bradford was told, the reasoning being that the sound engineer hoped to move to another European Union country, a right that Brexit could threaten.</p> |
|
| 2118 |
-<p>“Once that conversation had happened there was no going back,” said Mr. Bradford, who also avoids members of his old band after some posted comments on social media that, he said, “painted the people who voted leave as racists, bigots, evil, stupid.”</p> |

-<p>According to <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/brexit-remainers-more-bothered-by-differing-views-in-family-poll-shows-h6kh2vrp7" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">one survey</a>, more than a third of those who wish to remain in the European Union would be upset if a close relative married a strong leave supporter, suggesting that Brexit has morphed into a clash of values.</p> |
|
| 2139 |
-<p>In the aftermath of the referendum, Relate, a counseling service, said that a fifth of the 300 relationship support practitioners surveyed had worked with clients who argued over Brexit. And analysts say Britons are increasingly likely to define themselves in relation to Brexit, rather than allegiance to a party, a dividing line noticed by psychotherapists too.</p> |

-<p>“It’s a bit like 16th-century France between the Catholics and the Protestants,” said Brett Kahr, senior clinical research fellow in psychotherapy and mental health at the Center for Child Mental Health, adding: “I think there is a great deal of hatred of one position toward the other, and a lack of willingness to engage.</p> |
|
| 2146 |
-<p>“It doesn’t make sense to begin to doubt your position if you are so certain your position is the correct one,” Mr. Kahr said.</p> |
|
| 2147 |
-<p>Of course, many Britons have tuned out, bored by endless and incomprehensible Brexit twists in Parliament. Talk of a religious war sounds overblown to Giles Fraser, rector of St. Mary’s church in Newington, South London, but he accepts that “people are talking past each other in a way that perhaps believers, and nonbelievers, might talk past each other.”</p> |

-<p>“It’s definitely visceral, it’s definitely nasty, and there are certainly people who won’t accept the core of the other person’s position,” added Mr. Fraser, who thinks that his support for Brexit in London, which generally voted the other way, cost him friends.</p> |

-<p>If it is hard being a pro-Brexit clergyman in London, it is no easier being a remain supporter in Meden Vale, a former mining village in Nottinghamshire, 150 miles north of the capital, where most people voted leave.</p> |
|
| 2162 |
-<p>But not Chris Hawkins. “I can’t honestly think of anyone from Meden Vale among my group of friends or people I know who voted remain, apart from myself,” said Mr. Hawkins, who works with children with educational problems.</p> |
|
| 2163 |
-<p>After arguments about Brexit, Mr. Hawkins sees less of his two best friends, who now tend to socialize or take bike rides without him. With his parents there has been tension though the major conflict was with one of his partner’s relatives. The discussion was “not very good,” he said with understatement. “He erupted.”</p> |

-<p>“Brexit is ever-present in the consulting room,” said Sarah Niblock, chief executive of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy. “It is now so excruciating, and so difficult for people to have conversations about Brexit — families, workplaces neighbors are so split — there is so much of a division between groups in society that it is almost as if the therapeutic room has become the last place people can talk with any ease.”</p> |
|

-<p>Her idea was to get the two groups in the same room but, when that proved impossible she initially met them separately.</p> |
|
| 2186 |
-<p>“They were very, very emotional,” said Ms. Yates. “It was a very powerful experience: people coming together who didn’t know each other, there were tears — and these were all with people who voted the same way.”</p> |
|
| 2187 |
-<p>For the remainers it was rather like a bereavement group. “There was this huge sense of loss. People talked about waking up on the day of the vote crying and in shock and they didn’t fully understand it themselves. They understood that they were upset but why did they feel so strongly? So it was a bit like a therapy group.”</p> |

-<p>For leavers there was more a sense of grievance than grief, Ms. Yates said, and a feeling “that they had been left behind, they had been forgotten, it was really this town-city divide.”</p> |
|
| 2194 |
-<p>Winning the referendum was an unexpected victory — some described it as a gift — but a precarious one.</p> |
|
| 2195 |
-<p>“They couldn’t quite believe their luck and also said — even back then in 2016 — ‘It will be taken away,’ ” Ms. Yates said. “They were saying, ‘They won’t let us have it.’ There was a real feeling of ‘them and us’ and a feeling of powerlessness. They had managed to get this, but how long they could hang on to it, they didn’t know,” she added.</p> |
|
| 2196 |
-<p>More recently, Ms. Yates managed to cajole two groups into the same room. “People talked about it being like a civil war,” she said. Indeed, some mentioned Britain’s Civil War, which took place in the 17th century, or even episodes further back in history.</p> |

Why wouldn’t you want us to start trading with other global powers? Why wouldn’t you want us to be Great Britain?’ And they started talking about empire. I was absolutely stunned.”</p> |
|
| 2218 |
-<p>“I wrote them a letter saying I was quite upset about what happened,” Ms. Raaphorst said. “They sent my son a letter saying that they just want to protect him from people coming in and out of the country that might hurt him.”</p> |
|

-<p>For Andrew Parnall, a software trainer who lives in Derby, Brexit has also caused family tension, in his case with his niece, a leave supporter. “We don’t talk much now, it has poisoned the well,” he said.</p> |
|
| 2220 |
-<p>Mr. Parnall recalls crying on the morning of the referendum result and says he feels emotional still.</p> |
|
| 2221 |
-<p>In his former office everyone knew his views and, at Christmas, the referendum featured satirically in his secret Santa gift: a signed copy of a photograph of the Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage.</p> |

-<p>CARACAS, Venezuela — Thousands of opposition supporters marched to central Caracas on Saturday, defying a government ban on rallies in the Venezuelan capital’s core and testing a heavy police presence as the country struggled to emerge from its worst blackout in recent memory.</p> |
|
| 2261 |
-<p>Clashes between the police and protesters were reported early in the day, but a cordon of officers stepped aside to allow the demonstrators to rally and hear from the opposition leader Juan Guaidó.</p> |
|
| 2262 |
-<p>“We have to conquer public spaces in a peaceful manner,” Mr. Guaidó, standing atop a car, declared through a megaphone. “We have to prepare ourselves for very tough times.”</p> |
|
| 2263 |
-<p>Power was intermittent in Caracas on Saturday, two days after the country went dark, and it remained off in large portions of the country’s west. Much of the country’s <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://netblocks.org/reports/second-national-power-outage-detected-across-venezuela-dQ8o728n" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">telecommunications network was offline</a> after another power failure on Saturday, according to NetBlocks, an internet monitoring group. State utility workers say it will take days to fully restore the national grid.</p> |

-<p>The problems caused by the blackout — a loss of communication and public transportation — had complicated the opposition’s efforts to organize Saturday’s protests. But its leaders were jubilant at the result: a series of demonstrations across the country that drew thousands of supporters and only limited pushback from the authorities.</p> |
|
| 2281 |
-<p>One group of opposition supporters blocked the main highway in the capital, but national guardsmen sent to confront the demonstrators made no attempt to dislodge them.</p> |
|
| 2282 |
-<p>“This is one of the biggest victories of our strategy and organization,” said Carlos Paparoni, an opposition leader. “To all the policemen and guards we say: Our fight is not against you. They have also been without electricity. Their food is also rotting in their fridges.”</p> |
|
| 2283 |
-<p>The nationwide power failure has intensified pressure on Mr. Maduro, who appeared in public on Saturday for the first time since a problem at Venezuela’s main hydropower plant on Thursday afternoon <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/08/world/americas/venezuela-blackout-power.html?module=inline" title="">plunged the country into darkness</a>. Backup generators at upmarket hotels, which have become sanctuaries for Caracas’s affluent, had begun running out of fuel by Saturday.</p> |

-<p>A rival pro-government rally in Caracas on Saturday drew a smaller crowd. Mr. Maduro tweeted his appreciation with <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://twitter.com/NicolasMaduro/status/1104432249246830592" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a video</a> that cut together images of his predecessor and mentor, Hugo Chávez, and celebrating crowds.</p> |
|
| 2290 |
-<p>He also sounded a familiar theme, blaming American intervention for the unrest.</p> |
|
| 2291 |
-<p>“Today, when the empire of the U.S., in its desperation to grab our natural resources, intensifies its brutal aggression against the fatherland,” Mr. Maduro said, “we stand firm to defend our land and cry with force: Yankee go home! We are anti-imperialist!”</p> |
|
| 2292 |
-<p>He later appeared at the pro-government rally, declaring, “Here I am, facing my responsibilities.”</p> |
|
| 2293 |
-<p>Many of his supporters wore red, the color associated with the socialist government of Mr. Chávez. One woman <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://twitter.com/teleSURtv/status/1104452332820090880" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">told the state television network</a> Telesur that the rallygoers were “defending with blood our revolution.”</p> |

|
| 2307 |
-<p>Critics have said it was the result of years of mismanagement and underinvestment.</p> |
|
| 2308 |
-<p>“I’m here because I can’t take it anymore,” said Maria Elena Jiménez, a retiree draped in a Venezuelan flag who turned out for an opposition rally in Caracas. Venezuela’s economic crisis, she said, had broken her family apart: Her daughter emigrated and her brother was killed in a robbery outside his house last year.</p> |
|
| 2309 |
-<p>Crying, Ms. Jiménez asked, “How am I going to stay in my house when my country has touched the bottom?”</p> |
|
| 2310 |
-<p>The blackout has crippled air travel and public transportation, devastated scarce food supplies and threatened the lives of thousands of hospital patients. Opposition leaders claimed that 79 patients across the country had died because of the blackout, although that figure could not be independently corroborated. In the capital, residents lined up outside food stores and gasoline stations to try to restock supplies and fuel.</p> |

-<p>Economists and rights groups say it will take weeks to take the full stock of the economic and human cost of the blackout. But deprivation was on the minds of opposition protesters on Saturday.</p> |
|
| 2317 |
-<p>“I’m here to show my indignation and my exhaustion,” said Belkis Pernalete, a psychologist who marched in the central city of Valencia. She said the blackout had forced her family to eat its entire supply of frozen food.</p> |
|
| 2318 |
-<p>Still, Ms. Pernalete said, she was among the lucky ones: She had food to eat.</p> |

-<p>WASHINGTON — President Trump was forced to publicly acknowledge this past week what American intelligence officials said they had long been telling the White House: Even during eight months of blossoming diplomacy, Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, was steadily adding to his weapons arsenal and nuclear infrastructure.</p> |
|
| 2403 |
-<p>Three times, Mr. Trump told reporters that he would be “very disappointed” if North Korea was <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/05/world/asia/north-korea-missile-site.html?module=inline" title="">preparing to launch a space rocket</a> that intelligence officials believe could help Mr. Kim perfect the means to heave a nuclear warhead across the ocean. Satellite imagery taken Friday, and analyzed by the <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://beyondparallel.csis.org/" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Beyond Parallel</a> program of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, shows that the North has “continued preparations” on the launching pad at Sohae consistent with readying for “the delivery of a rocket.”</p> |
|
| 2404 |
-<p>American officials said the reconstruction there began long before Mr. Trump left Washington in late February for a summit meeting with Mr. Kim in Hanoi, Vietnam, where talks abruptly ended.</p> |
|
| 2405 |
-<p>The rebuilding at Sohae was not the only work underway.</p> |
|
| 2406 |
-<p>While North Korea blew up the entrances to its major <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/12/world/asia/north-korea-nuclear-test-site.html?module=inline" title="">underground testing site at Punggye-ri in May</a>, it never allowed in inspectors, as promised, to determine whether the facility had actually been destroyed. Commercial satellite photographs suggest the buildings containing the control rooms and computers used to trigger and study the explosions were carefully mothballed.</p> |

-<p>The evidence that North Korea was moving ahead with its weapons program was clear, according to American intelligence officials familiar with the briefings provided to Mr. Trump. But the president sought to soften it in public to avoid imperiling negotiations, the officials said.</p> |
|
| 2414 |
-<p>At a <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-press-conference-hanoi-vietnam/" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">news conference late last month in Hanoi</a>, Mr. Trump was still in that mode, suggesting the evidence that North Korea was adding to its ability was ambiguous.</p> |
|
| 2415 |
-<p>“Some people are saying that and some people aren’t,” he said.</p> |
|
| 2416 |
-<p>But for an administration that regularly acknowledges or dismisses intelligence findings to fit the moment, North Korea has served as a comeuppance.</p> |
|
| 2417 |
-<p>Mr. Trump’s aides have been forced to back away from his <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1006837823469735936?lang=en" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">now famous tweet,</a> issued soon after the Singapore meeting, that “there is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea.” As long as the threat remains, they now say, so will American-led sanctions against Pyongyang.</p> |

-<p>On Thursday, a senior administration official told reporters that the United States remained open to continuing discussions with North Korea. But the official asserted that sanctions would not be lifted until all the threats were removed — which he defined as the North’s entire nuclear program, complex of road-mobile missiles and chemical and biological weapons programs.</p> |
|
| 2424 |
-<p>That is a far broader demand than the Trump administration has previously detailed in public, and was at the core of the collapse of the discussions in Hanoi.</p> |
|
| 2425 |
-<p>Mr. Kim had offered to close an aging nuclear plant at Yongbyon in exchange for the lifting of some of the toughest sanctions imposed on North Korea. To his surprise, Mr. Kim was told that the United States would not lift all sanctions until the North surrendered its entire weapons program.</p> |

-<p>By all accounts, Mr. Kim believed Mr. Trump was desperate for a deal and would accept a more gradual approach — a partial disarmament leading to partial sanctions relief. Unable to bridge the gap, they walked away, though Mr. Trump insisted they agreed to continue talking. No further negotiations have been scheduled.</p> |
|
| 2439 |
-<p>North Korea, for its part, is using its continued production of nuclear material to pressure Mr. Trump — making clear its ability to pose a threat will only grow unless the United States eases its demands.</p> |
|
| 2440 |
-<p>“For all the talk, nothing has really changed,” said Victor Cha, whom Mr. Trump considered appointing as American ambassador to South Korea. “They are playing the same old game of putting pressure on the U.S.”</p> |
|
| 2441 |
-<p>The White House and State Department say that is not the case. The continued moratorium on nuclear and missile tests, officials said, has slowed Mr. Kim’s progress and kept him from demonstrating that North Korea could launch a warhead that could hit an American city.</p> |

-<p>Some independent analysts agree with the Trump administration’s rationale, but worry the moratorium may be coming to an end.</p> |
|
| 2448 |
-<p>North Korea’s satellite launching site at Sohae, on the Yellow Sea, offers a case study in the deep ambiguity of the dismantlement and denuclearization claims by both sides.</p> |
|
| 2449 |
-<p>The site is important because the North has test-fired powerful rocket engines there on a giant experiment stand and, at the nearby launching pad, successfully cast two satellites into space. The United States has declared that space launches violate the commitment that Mr. Kim made to Mr. Trump in Singapore, and later to President Moon Jae-in of South Korea, to suspend all missile and nuclear tests.</p> |
|
| 2450 |
-<p>Modern and comfortable, with a high observation station, the site represents the jewel of North Korea’s rocket agenda. <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.38north.org/2016/04/schilling041116/" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Analysts say</a> the engine test stand played a major role in developing the fiery thrust for the North’s intercontinental ballistic missiles, whose repeated launchings in 2017 terrified the world.</p> |
|
| 2451 |
-<p>In June, after the summit meeting in Singapore, Mr. Trump declared that Mr. Kim had told him the North was “already destroying” the sprawling site. “That’s a big thing,” <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/press-conference-president-trump/" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">he told reporters</a>. “The site is going to be destroyed very soon.”</p> |
|
| 2452 |
-<p>Challenged by reporters about the North’s past record of broken promises, Mr. Trump added: “Honestly, I think he’s going to do these things. I may be wrong. I mean, I may stand before you in six months and say, ‘Hey, I was wrong.’”</p> |
|
| 2453 |
-<p>“I don’t know that I’ll ever admit that,” he said with a smile, “but I’ll find some kind of an excuse.”</p> |

|
| 2459 |
-<p>That enthusiasm proved premature. For the next eight months, analysts poring over satellite images of the densely wooded site at Sohae <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.38north.org/2018/08/sohae082218/" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">found little evidence</a> of dismantlement. No major structures were changed, destroyed or disassembled.</p> |
|
| 2460 |
-<p>Instead, the images showed the opposite: evidence that North Korea was completing work on an extensive building complex next to the launching pad at Sohae. Rather than disassemble the site, as Mr. Kim had promised, it was expanding.</p> |

-<p>“We all watched it go up and kept wondering, ‘What is it?’” recalled Jenny Town, a senior official at <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.38north.org/" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">38 North</a>, a research project and website of the Stimson Center, a Washington think tank, which tracks political and technical developments in North Korea.</p> |
|
| 2474 |
-<p>They are still wondering. No one is certain about the purpose of the structure — or if it has an intent other than to stoke fear in the United States.</p> |
|
| 2475 |
-<p>This past week, 38 North and Beyond Parallel reported that reconstruction at the Sohae site had greatly accelerated.</p> |
|
| 2476 |
-<p>“Based on commercial satellite imagery, efforts to rebuild these structures started sometime between February 16 and March 2, 2019,” 38 North <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.38north.org/2019/03/sohae030519/" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">said in its report </a>on Tuesday.</p> |
|
| 2477 |
-<p>The summit meeting in Hanoi began on Feb. 27 — suggesting the construction was intended to give Mr. Kim some leverage in his talks with Mr. Trump.</p> |

| 2483 |
-<p>As of Friday, administration officials were telling allies they still did not know if North Korea planned to resume missile launches at Sohae. But Mr. Trump no longer denounces news reports of expanded missile bases or revived test sites as “fake news,’’ as he did before the meeting in Hanoi.</p> |
|
| 2484 |
-<p>In late January, the president even called in the director of national intelligence, Dan Coats, and the director of the C.I.A., Gina Haspel, to demand they pull back recent <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/29/us/politics/kim-jong-trump.html?module=inline" title="">public declarations</a> that North Korea was not likely to ever give up its entire weapons arsenal and production facilities.</p> |
|
| 2485 |
-<p>Two days later, Mr. Trump said the problem lay not in the intelligence officials’ testimony <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/31/politics/trump-intelligence-agencies-coats-haspel/index.html" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">but in<span class="css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0"> </span>the news coverage about it</a>. One senior official later said the deflection was “all about avoiding criticism of Kim.” The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the president’s meeting with the intelligence chiefs was intended to be private.</p> |
|
| 2486 |
-<p>Ms. Town said the satellite site expansion and rebuilding at Sohae reminded her of a similar episode at the Yongbyon nuclear research center, the main known site for the processing of fuel for nuclear weapons.</p> |
|
| 2487 |
-<p>Last year, North Korea finished building a large facility across from Yongbyon’s experimental light water reactor. Analysts believe the reactor <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/03/27/world/asia/north-korea-nuclear.html?module=inline" title="">could double</a> the North’s supply of weapons-grade plutonium, producing more fuel for its nuclear arsenal.</p> |
|
| 2488 |
-<p>“Why do that if it’s on the bargaining table?” Ms. Town said of the construction at Yongbyon, which Mr. Kim had offered to close if the United States agreed to lift sanctions. “There are a few of these cases where it could be part of a hedging strategy.”</p> |
|
| 2489 |
-<p>Then there are the headquarters at Punggye-ri’s mountainous atomic test site — a <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/04/12/world/asia/north-korea-nuclear-test.html?module=inline" title="">mile-high peak</a> full of tunnels where North Korea has set off its nuclear detonations.</p> |

|
| 2496 |
-<p>The lack of dismantlement, the analysts concluded, suggested that the site “may only be mothballed, with reactivation possible.”</p> |

-<p>YULIN, China — For months, Zhao Faqi was a folk hero for entrepreneurs in China — an investor who fought the government in court and online, and against the odds, seemed poised to win. He accused officials of stealing his rights to coal-rich land, and ignited a furor by accusing China’s most powerful judge of corruption.</p> |
|
| 2594 |
-<p>Now, Mr. Zhao has dropped out of sight — and the authorities want to erase his story.</p> |
|
| 2595 |
-<p>For much of the winter, Mr. Zhao’s case was the subject of avid discussion on Chinese social media, and his supporters saw it as a test of whether the president and Communist Party leader, Xi Jinping, would support the troubled private sector against grasping officials.</p> |
|
| 2596 |
-<p>Now, as the Communist Party-controlled legislature gathers for its annual meeting in Beijing, it seems the authorities have decided that investors like Mr. Zhao spell trouble.</p> |
|
| 2597 |
-<p>The state news media has painted him as a cunning schemer. A judge who supported his case was paraded on television. A crusading former talk show host who helped bring the case to light has fallen silent.</p> |

|
| 2603 |
-<p>Mr. Zhao’s arc from self-declared victim to officially designated villain has been dramatic even for China, where the party controls the courts and businesspeople can abruptly fall from grace. Mr. Zhao’s descent — and possible disappearance — is a demonstration of the hazards that entrepreneurs face in taking on powerful Chinese officials.</p> |
|
| 2604 |
-<p>“I’ve faced a lot of risks and pressure because of this lawsuit,” Mr. Zhao said in an interview in Beijing a few weeks before he disappeared. Chinese entrepreneurs, he said, yearned for the rule of law to replace arbitrary power. “You can’t say someone is protected one day, and take away protection the next day.”</p> |
|
| 2605 |
-<p>Mr. Zhao drew support from liberal economists and lawyers who have been unsettled by Mr. Xi’s reverence for communist tradition and support for state-owned companies, which he has urged to grow “stronger, better and bigger.”</p> |

-<p>The gloom prompted Mr. Xi to publicly reassure the private sector <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="http://www.xinhuanet.com/politics/leaders/2018-10/26/c_1123617813.htm" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">at least three times</a> in a month that the leadership remained committed to its success. In early November, he also took the rare step of admitting that the government had gone too far.</p> |
|
| 2619 |
-<p>“It should be acknowledged that the private sector is experiencing difficulties that are real, and even quite severe,” Mr. Xi <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="http://jhsjk.people.cn/article/30377329?isindex=1" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">said at a meeting</a> with more than 50 selected businesspeople. “Private businesses and businesspeople are one of us.”</p> |

|
| 2625 |
-<p>Such reassurances may now mean little to Mr. Zhao.</p> |
|
| 2626 |
-<p>A former soldier, Mr. Zhao went into business after quitting his job for a supplies company in 1991. He made his fortune as a construction contractor and later plowed his earnings into the mining investment.</p> |
|
| 2627 |
-<p>Mr. Zhao, 52, was among the entrepreneurs who plunged into business after Deng Xiaoping, then China’s paramount leader, unleashed market overhauls. At the time, Mr. Zhao said, entrepreneurs were like famished goats set free from a pen and allowed to flourish.</p> |
|
| 2628 |
-<p>“But we’re seeing this vitality steadily shrink,” he said.</p> |
|
| 2629 |
-<p>Since 2005, he has been fighting for the right to explore more than 100 square miles of sandy, scrub-covered land on the fringe of Yulin, a coal-rich city in Shaanxi Province. After initial surveys indicated that the land was abundant in coal, the mining institute that had sold an 80 percent share of exploration rights to Mr. Zhao’s company canceled the contract, citing government orders.</p> |
|
| 2630 |
-<p>Mr. Zhao waged a legal fight that took him all the way to China’s top court, the Supreme People’s Court.</p> |
|
| 2631 |
-<p>His chances of victory seemed slim. In China, judges answer to the party. While courts have greater autonomy than before in business disputes, they often rule in favor of officials and their allies.</p> |

-<p>Still, in late 2017, the Supreme People’s Court <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="http://wenshu.court.gov.cn/content/content?DocID=70f7dbdd-4cf6-43d7-b649-abeff5e11111&KeyWord=%5F%5F%5F" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ruled</a> that Mr. Zhao’s contract was valid.</p> |
|
| 2645 |
-<p>But officials made no effort to enforce the ruling.</p> |
|
| 2646 |
-<p>Then, late last year, something unusual happened.</p> |
|
| 2647 |
-<p>Cui Yongyuan, a former Chinese television talk show host with a massive internet following, took up Mr. Zhao’s cause, fueling an uproar in the Chinese news media, which was largely sympathetic.</p> |

|

-<div> |
|
| 2653 |
-<p>Mr. Cui said that files from the case had vanished from the Supreme People’s Court. He also revealed that a disgruntled judge on the court, Wang Linqing, claimed that China’s top judge, Zhou Qiang, tried to ensure that judges did not rule in Mr. Zhao’s favor.</p> |
|
| 2654 |
-<p>Mr. Cui <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLyCSpo9_EA&t=89s" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">shared</a> excerpts from interviews with Judge Wang on Sina Weibo, a social media service where he has <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://weibo.com/cuiyongyuan?is_hot=1" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">nearly 20 million followers</a>. The judge anxiously described how files from Mr. Zhao’s case had vanished from his office.</p> |
|
| 2655 |
-<p>“This is something that I never imagined would happen,” Judge Wang said in one of the excerpts.</p> |
|
| 2656 |
-<p>When the Supreme People’s Court acknowledged a problem and party investigators opened a high-level inquiry, Mr. Zhao was cautiously hopeful.</p> |
|
| 2657 |
-<p>“It’s progress toward the rule of law,” Mr. Zhao said in an interview at the time. “But the outcome is unclear.”</p> |
|
| 2658 |
-<p>Mr. Zhao was right to be cautious. Earlier this month, the government released the findings from the investigation, and they were damning for him and his supporters.</p> |

-<p>The investigators said that Judge Wang himself had spirited away the missing case files. A report aired on official Chinese television showed him confessing that he had nursed grudges against more senior judges and tried to take revenge by stealing the files to create an embarrassing scandal.</p> |
|
| 2672 |
-<p>“I offer my heartfelt apologies to the many internet users” who followed the case, Judge Wang said. “My behavior amounted to swindling their well-meaning hearts.”</p> |

-<p>Supporters said that they were worried that Mr. Zhao and Judge Wang’s real offense was rocking the political boat. They were especially shocked that Judge Wang was shown on television avowing himself guilty of breaking the law even before a formal investigation by the police, joining the ranks of dissidents and rights lawyers who have been <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/11/world/asia/china-forced-confessions-propaganda.html?module=inline" title="">forced to record scripted confessions</a> while in detention.</p> |
|
| 2679 |
-<p>“The official reports are full of problems, and the biggest one is how Judge Wang Linqing was made to confess on television,” said <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="http://english.unirule.cloud/people/2017-03-03/345.html" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sheng Hong</a>, executive director of the Unirule Institute of Economics, a think tank in Beijing that backs market liberalization and previously held a forum about Mr. Zhao’s case.</p> |
|
| 2680 |
-<p>Since the findings were released, Mr. Zhao’s phone has been turned off, and he appears to have gone into hiding or official custody. Judge Wang faces a criminal investigation and a likely prison sentence.</p> |
|
| 2681 |
-<p>The supreme court, Ministry of Public Security and other government offices did not answer questions about whether Mr. Zhao was detained, and his family could not be reached. Zhou Qiang, the top judge whom Mr. Zhao accused of corruption, has attended the legislative meeting in Beijing, apparently unshaken by the accusations.</p> |
|
| 2682 |
-<p>Still, Chinese lawyers have said online that the findings in the official report defied logic. Was it believable, they asked, that Judge Wang turned on his superiors because he did not want to do overtime one night, as the report had claimed? It also failed to address in detail Judge Wang’s claims of being repeatedly intimidated by senior judges, <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="http://news.mingjingnews.com/2019/02/blog-post_244.html" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">critics said online</a>.</p> |
|
| 2683 |
-<p>“From the viewpoint of common sense, many things about this are just hard to swallow,” said Liu Xiaoyuan, a human rights lawyer. “But it’s also shocking to think that a high-level investigation like this would just make all this up.”</p> |

-<p>ROME — Italy’s ambassador to Pakistan on Saturday announced the deaths of two climbers, one British and one Italian, who had been missing for weeks while climbing Nanga Parbat in Pakistan, the world’s ninth-highest mountain.</p> |
|
| 2773 |
-<p>The ambassador, Stefano Pontecorvo, <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://twitter.com/pontecorvoste/status/1104365344733446144?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wrote on Twitter</a> that “the silhouettes” of the climbers, Tom Ballard, 30, of Britain and Daniele Nardi, 42, of Italy had been spotted at about 5,900 meters (about 19,000 feet) on the mountain. “R.I.P.,” Mr. Pontecorvo said, and expressed “great sadness” at the discovery.</p> |
|
| 2774 |
-<p>Mr. Pontecorvo said that the team of another European climber, Alex Txikon, had partly flown over the mountain and partly climbed it, and had recognized the two bodies by telescope.</p> |
|
| 2775 |
-<p>Pakistani Army helicopters had searched the mountain for days, sometimes obstructed by bad winter weather and delayed when a military confrontation flared between India and Pakistan and the Pakistani airspace was closed.</p> |

|
| 2781 |
-<p>The men began climbing last month, and soon after they reached a little over 20,000 feet in late February, their teams and family <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/28/world/asia/uk-climber-nanga-parbat-mountain.html?module=inline" title="">lost contact with them.</a></p> |
|
| 2782 |
-<p>Mr. Nardi’s team said that the first Pakistani helicopter that flew over the men’s last-known location four days later could not see any traces of the two climbers. The search efforts continued until Saturday, when the reconnaissance mission ended.</p> |
|
| 2783 |
-<p>It was not immediately clear if officials planned an attempt to retrieve the bodies.</p> |
|
| 2784 |
-<p>Nanga Parbat, also known among climbers as the “killer mountain,” was an extremely perilous mission. But both climbers were experienced. The British news media called Mr. Ballard the “King of the Alps.”</p> |
|
| 2785 |
-<p>Mr. Ballard and Mr. Nardi decided to scale the most direct route to the summit of Nanga Parbat — one that had never been completed. In a <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.montane.co.uk/blog/2018/12/tom-ballard-winter-nanga-parbat-arbat/" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">press statement</a> announcing their mission, Mr. Ballard’s sponsor, the British outdoor clothing brand Montane, said that “if successful, Tom will be one of the few mountaineers in the world to summit a +8000m peak in winter.”</p> |
|
| 2786 |
-<p>Mr. Ballard’s mother was Alison Hargreaves, the first woman to scale Mount Everest alone. <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/14/obituaries/overlooked-alison-hargreaves.html?module=inline" title="">She died in 1995 at age 33 on K2</a> in Pakistan, when a snowstorm hit her and her team as they were descending from the summit.</p> |

|
| 2792 |
-<p>Mr. Nardi, who was from a town near Rome, had attempted to climb Nanga Parbat in the winter four times without success. He called himself the “first alpinist to be born under the Po river,” in northern Italy, and “to have reached the summit of the Everest and the K2.”</p> |
|
| 2793 |
-<p>His friends described him as scrupulous to the tiniest detail.</p> |
|
| 2794 |
-<p>Mr. Nardi’s relatives, who have expressed their pain on social media, thanked the search-and-rescue team, the Italian and Pakistani authorities and anyone who had collaborated on the search for their tireless efforts in the past weeks.</p> |
|
| 2795 |
-<p>In a <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.facebook.com/danielenardialpinista/" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook post</a>, they repeated Mr. Nardi’s words: “I’d like to be remembered as a man who tried to do something incredible, impossible, but didn’t give up and if I won’t return I’d like to give a message to my son: Don’t stop, don’t give up, do your thing because the world needs better people to make peace a reality and not just an idea.”</p> |

-<p>One of President Trump’s lead Middle East peace negotiators lashed out at the Palestinian Authority on Friday, accusing it of institutionalizing support for terrorism amid a dispute over Israeli tax transfers that make up a significant portion of Palestinian revenues.</p> |
|
| 2865 |
-<p>Under longstanding accords, Israel makes monthly transfers to the Palestinian Authority from certain taxes it collects related to Palestinians. Last month, Israel announced a freeze on about 5 percent of the tax payout, as punishment for the Palestinian Authority’s policy of paying stipends to Palestinian prisoners in Israel and to the families of Palestinians killed or wounded in confrontations with Israelis.</p> |
|
| 2866 |
-<p>In response, and despite the <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/11/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-hamas-palestinian-authority-abbas.html?module=inline" title="">authority’s financial problems</a>, the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, rejected the full tax transfer and vowed to continue to pay the stipends.</p> |
|
| 2867 |
-<p>On Friday, the Trump administration’s Middle East envoy, Jason D. Greenblatt, accused Palestinian leaders of offering the stipends as a reward for acts of terrorism.</p> |

-<p>“If your citizens were being routinely attacked by terrorists, which of you would tolerate a reward system that compensated the attackers for their crimes?” he wrote <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://twitter.com/jdgreenblatt45/status/1104100866137690114" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">in one tweet</a>. “How can we possibly censure Israel for taking the same stance?”</p> |
|
| 2874 |
-<p>Mr. Greenblatt was in New York on Friday for discussions on the dispute in a closed-door session of the United Nations Security Council, which apparently failed to break the impasse.</p> |
|
| 2875 |
-<p>Mansour al-Otaibi, Kuwait’s ambassador to the United Nations, told reporters after the session that most members of the Security Council “overwhelmingly” considered the Israeli decision “unacceptable.”</p> |
|
| 2876 |
-<p>“This is Palestinian money,” he said. “They have the right, the Palestinians, to do whatever they want with their money.”</p> |
|
| 2877 |
-<p>The tax revenues are generated from the earnings of Palestinian day laborers and merchants who do business in Israel, and from customs duties on Palestinian imports through Israeli ports. But the payouts, which some critics have dubbed a “pay to slay” policy, have long been a source of controversy in Israel.</p> |

-<p>In July, the Israeli Knesset, or Parliament, <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/03/world/middleeast/israel-penalizes-palestinians-for-payments-to-prisoners-and-martyrs.html?module=inline" title="">approved legislation</a> that would allow the government to withhold a portion of the tax revenue, which makes up about 7 percent of the Palestinian Authority’s annual budget.</p> |
|
| 2884 |
-<p>The Palestinian Authority’s refusal to accept any of the revenues only adds to its financial woes. It was already struggling after a decision last year by the Trump administration <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/31/us/politics/trump-unrwa-palestinians.html?module=inline" title="">to cut funding</a> for a United Nations agency that provides assistance to millions of Palestinians.</p> |
|
| 2885 |
-<p>The Trump administration’s hard-line tactics have been led by the president’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner, in an effort to force Palestinians to return to the negotiating table and drop many of their longstanding demands. Such discussions have largely been paused while Mr. Kushner and Mr. Greenblatt put the finishing touches on <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/26/us/politics/kushner-middle-east-peace.html?module=inline" title="">a long-awaited peace plan</a>.</p> |
|
| 2886 |
-<p>Their eventual proposal, however, could be dead on arrival: The Palestinian Authority has refused to discuss the plan with American negotiators, in protest over the Trump administration’s decision in December 2017 to <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/06/world/middleeast/trump-jerusalem-israel-capital.html?module=inline" title="">formally recognize Jerusalem </a>as Israel’s capital and move the United States Embassy there from Tel Aviv.</p> |

-<p>LONDON — A British court has sentenced a 37-year-old Ugandan woman to 11 years in prison for the genital cutting of her 3-year-old daughter, after a landmark conviction last month.</p> |
|
| 2967 |
-<p>The judge on Friday sentenced the woman, who last month became the first person in Britain to be convicted of the crime, to 11 years for the cutting and two years for possession of extreme pornography. She has not been identified in order to protect her child’s identity.</p> |
|
| 2968 |
-<p>The woman had pleaded not guilty, saying that her daughter had suffered an accidental injury in August 2017. But jurors at London’s Central Criminal Court concluded that the girl had been cut deliberately.</p> |
|
| 2969 |
-<p>The girl was taken to a hospital and lost a significant amount of blood because of her injuries, <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-47094707" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">according to the BBC</a>.</p> |

|

-<p>The judge, Philippa Whipple, said the woman was guilty of child abuse. “It’s a barbaric practice and a serious crime,” she said. “It’s an offense which targets women, particularly inflicted when they are young and vulnerable.”</p> |
|
| 2976 |
-<p>The girl’s father, 43, had been cleared of charges.</p> |
|
| 2977 |
-<p>Female genital cutting has been illegal in Britain since 1985, but previous prosecutions have led to acquittals. At least <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://data.unicef.org/topic/child-protection/female-genital-mutilation/" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">200 million survivors</a> of the practice worldwide live with the scars of mutilation, according to the World Health Organization.</p> |
|
| 2978 |
-<p>Aisha K. Gill, a professor of criminology at the University of Roehampton, <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/01/world/europe/female-genital-mutilation-conviction-britain.html?module=inline" title="">had called the British case “landmark,”</a> adding, “We need to see that the law will be operational and effective to enable victims to come forward when necessary.”</p> |
|
| 2979 |
-<p>Britain’s Parliament is considering <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://services.parliament.uk/bills/2017-19/childrenact1989amendmentfemalegenitalmutilation.html" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">an amendment</a> to the Children Act of 1989 that would give the authorities greater powers to protect girls from genital cutting before cases go to trial.</p> |

-<p>TEHRAN, Iran — A top Iranian diplomat has rejected Britain’s decision to give diplomatic protection to a British-Iranian woman who has been detained in Iran for nearly three years, saying it contravenes international law.</p> |
|
| 3032 |
-<p>British officials have said that Iran has failed to meet international obligations in its treatment of the woman, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, and offered her diplomatic protection this past week.</p> |
|
| 3033 |
-<p>The British foreign secretary, Jeremy Hunt, said this meant that the country no longer regarded her case as simply a consular matter and had raised it to the level of a legal dispute between Britain and Iran.</p> |
|
| 3034 |
-<p>But the Iranian ambassador to Britain, Hamid Baeidinejad, said <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://twitter.com/baeidinejad/status/1103790207114063872" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">in a post on Twitter</a> on Friday that Iran did not regard Ms. Zaghari-Ratcliffe as British.</p> |

|

-<div> |
|
| 3040 |
-<p>“UK Govt’s extension of diplomatic protection to Ms Zaghari contravenes int’l law. Govts may only exercise such protection for own nationals. As UK Govt is acutely aware, Iran does not recognize dual nationality,” he wrote. “Irrespective of UK residency, Ms Zaghari thus remains Iranian.”</p> |
|
| 3041 |
-<p>Ms. Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who works for the Thomson Reuters Foundation, was arrested in April 2016 while traveling on vacation with her toddler daughter in Iran. She was given a five-year prison sentence for what the Iranians called plotting the “soft toppling” of its government.</p> |
|
| 3042 |
-<p>The sentence has been widely criticized.</p> |
|
| 3043 |
-<p>In 2017, Boris Johnson, then the British foreign secretary, <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/06/world/middleeast/britain-iran-boris-johnson-zaghari-ratcliffe.html?module=inline" title="">was accused of making matters worse</a> by erroneously saying she had been “simply teaching people journalism” Days later, Ms. Zaghari-Ratcliffe was taken to a new court hearing, where Mr. Johnson’s words were cited as evidence that she had been engaged in “propaganda against the regime.”</p> |
|
| 3044 |
-<p>In 2018, she was granted a three-day furlough to see her young daughter and other relatives, but was returned to prison, where her family said sent her into an emotional tailspin. She later went on a hunger strike.</p> |
|
| 3045 |
-<p>Her husband, Richard Ratcliffe, welcomed the offer of diplomatic protection on Friday, saying it could lead to a resolution of her case within months.</p> |
|

|
| 3051 |
-<p>“It changes the status for Nazanin’s case,” Mr. Ratcliffe told BBC radio. “Now it’s also the British government’s case and all the injustices that happen to Nazanin are effectively injustices against the British government.”</p> |
|
| 3052 |
-<p>He said the top priority was to have a doctor see his wife to provide urgent medical care.</p> |
|
| 3053 |
-<p>“A couple of months ago she went on hunger strike because she wasn’t getting any treatment, and was promised it but it didn’t happen, so she got very low again recently,” Mr. Ratcliffe said. “I’m sure this will give her a big lift.”</p> |
|
| 3054 |
-<p>The Thomson Reuters Foundation, the charitable arm of the Reuters news agency, issued a statement on Friday welcoming Mr. Hunt’s action on providing diplomatic protection to Ms. Zaghari-Ratcliffe.</p> |
|
| 3055 |
-<p>“This is an important step that has not been used in the U.K. in 150 years,” the statement said. “We renew our plea for the Iranian authorities to release Nazanin as soon as possible.”</p> |
|
| 3056 |
-<p>The British government has long been seeking her release without success.</p> |
|
| 3057 |
-<p>Mr. Hunt said that legal proceedings against Ms. Zaghari-Ratcliffe in Iran were deficient and that she had been denied proper access to health professionals.</p> |
|
| 3058 |
-<p>“It’s not a magic wand; it’s not going to solve things overnight; but it does create a different legal and political context,” he said of Britain’s decision to offer diplomatic protection.</p> |

-<p><strong>Golan Heights: </strong>Benny Gantz stood on the ridge and peered through the mist towards the Syrian border below as reporters waited anxiously to catch a word with the ex-army general now favourite to lead Israel.</p> |
|
| 22 |
-<p>But when Gantz finally spoke on the Golan, the territory captured by Israel from Syria in the 1967 war, he offered nothing new.</p> |

-<p>What is more, Gantz quickly sped off after his short speech without taking questions, to the disappointment of the journalists who had waited in the rain to speak to him only to be left empty-handed - again.</p> |
|
| 53 |
-<p>Less than five weeks ahead of the April 9 elections, Israelis still know little about the man who hopes to lead them into a post-Netanyahu era. Gantz, 59, has so far made only two speeches and given a single interview.</p> |

-<p>His main electoral asset seems to be simply that he is not Netanyahu, who has been in power for 10 consecutive years and is now facing criminal corruption charges.</p> |

-<p>Gantz's strategy is to project a statesmanlike calm as the prime minister politically self-immolates. "My government will not be a government of extremists and inciters, but a government for all," he said at a campaign launch.</p> |
|
| 64 |
-<p>Yair Lapid, Gantz's running mate and likely foreign minister in a new government, said Netanyahu's slash-and-burn tactics were "irresponsible". "It's tearing the country apart. We need to make sure that Israelis understand that we're a family and need to stay that way," he said.</p> |
|
| 65 |
-<p>At the Golan Heights Gantz offered generic tough words. "We will never relinquish the Golan Heights," he said, promising to fight against Iran in Syria while pledging that he would never give the strategic spot back to the Assad regime.</p> |

-<p>He spent 38 years in the army, rising from a paratrooper fighting in south Lebanon to become Israel's top military officer, and served loyally under governments of the Right and Left, giving no hints of his own personal politics.</p> |
|
| 70 |
-<p>Netanyahu's circle sneers at the idea that the general could become prime minister without serving a day in parliament first. "Let's be a little more humble. Being a general gives you an idea about the military and about security but national leadership is something above that," said Yoav Gallant, a Likud minister who served as a senior general alongside Gantz.</p> |
|
| 71 |
-<p>Polls show voters are evenly divided between Gantz and Netanyahu on the question of who would be a better prime minister. That suggests Gantz may be wise to avoid getting into a debate on policy detail and focus instead on his family history, which is a story of the Zionist dream fulfilled.</p> |
|

-<p>Both his parents were Holocaust survivors, who went on to found a kibbutz-like collective and send their son to an elite army unit. "My mother weighed 17kg the day she was liberated from Bergen-Belsen, and then her son joined the paratroopers," he said.</p> |

-<p>For more than 30 years in Oregon in the US, cases of tetanus in children were almost mythical - studied in textbooks but never seen in person - thanks to the effectiveness of pediatric vaccination programs.</p> |
|
| 104 |
-<p>That streak ended in 2017 when an unvaccinated six-year-old boy arrived at a hospital in the state, experiencing jaw spasms and struggling to breathe, according to a case study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published Thursday.</p> |
|
| 105 |
-<p>The child was playing on a farm when he cut his head on something, the report said. His parents cleaned and stitched the wound at home, but alarming symptoms emerged six days later. The boy's jaw began clenching, and his neck and back were arched - a trademark indication of tetanus called opisthotonus that is caused by involuntary muscle spasms.</p> |
|
| 106 |
-<p>He was airlifted to a pediatric hospital, where he was diagnosed with tetanus. It was the first instance of the life-threatening neuromuscular disease in a child in Oregon in more than three decades.</p> |

-<p>"Fortunately, the emergency department physicians immediately recognised the symptoms of severe tetanus," Judith Guzman-Cottrill, an author of the report and a pediatrics professor at Oregon Health & Science University, told <em>The Washington Post</em> in an email. "Physicians have all read about tetanus, and we have seen pictures of people suffering from tetanus . . . It is profound."</p> |
|
| 112 |
-<p>It would be only the start of a downward spiral and lengthy hospital stay for the boy. When he was first admitted to the hospital, he was alert - but couldn't open his mouth, the report said. Physicians sedated and intubated him because the spasms of his diaphragm and larynx were causing breathing problems.</p> |
|
| 113 |
-<p>The boy was given an anti-tetanus immunoglobulin for his wound, as well as the DTaP vaccine, which protects against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis. He was also placed in a dark room with ear plugs, which helped reduce the intensity of his spasms. His scalp wound was cleaned by medical professionals.</p> |
|
| 114 |
-<p>Still, the arching of the boy's neck and back worsened. His blood pressure shot up, and he became feverish. Doctors inserted a tube in his windpipe so a ventilator could help with his breathing, and treated him with neuromuscular-blocking drugs to reduce his muscle spasms. He would remain on those drugs for more than a month, and in the intensive care unit for a total of 47 days.</p> |
|
| 115 |
-<p>By the time he was transferred out of the ICU, the boy needed help walking 20 feet. His tracheal tube was removed on Day 54, the report said. On Day 57, he was transferred from the pediatric hospital to a rehabilitation centre, where he spent two-and-a-half weeks.</p> |
|
| 116 |
-</div> |
|
| 117 |
-<div class="_1665V undefined"> |
|
| 118 |
-<p>In all, the boy's medical charges in the hospital amounted to $811,929 - which did not include the cost of being airlifted to the hospital or of inpatient rehabilitation, according to the CDC. It's unclear from the report who covered his hospital expenses. It took about a month after his rehab for the boy to return to "normal activities" such as running and bicycling, the report added.</p> |
|
| 119 |
-<p>"The patient was in the intensive care unit, in critical condition, for over six weeks," Guzman-Cottrill said. "The complex and prolonged care led to the high treatment cost. In contrast, the cost of one DTaP dose is somewhere around $24-$30 a dose, and this illness could have been prevented with five doses of DTaP vaccine."</p> |
|
| 120 |
-<p>Notably, physicians counseled the boy's family to bring the child up to date on all of his vaccinations, as well as receive a follow-up dose of the DTaP vaccine.</p> |
|
| 121 |
-<p>His family said no.</p> |
|
| 122 |
-<p>"Despite extensive review of the risks and benefits of tetanus vaccination by physicians, the family declined the second dose of DTaP and any other recommended immunisations," the CDC report stated.</p> |

-<p>Tetanus is an infection caused by spores of the Clostridium tetani bacteria in the environment that enter the body through contaminated wounds or new puncture wounds, such as stepping on a nail. Throughout history, the disease was sometimes referred to as "lockjaw" because of the cramping of the jaw muscles that occur with its onset. Other symptoms include stiff neck and abdominal muscles, difficulty swallowing, and painful, involuntary muscle spasms.</p> |
|
| 126 |
-<p>In the 1940s, there were about 500 to 600 cases of tetanus reported in the United States annually, according to the nonprofit Immunization Action Coalition. That was also around when both anti-tetanus immunoglobin and the tetanus vaccine became widely used, a practice that has led to a 95 percent decrease in tetanus cases and a 99 percent decrease in tetanus-related deaths since the 1940s, according to the CDC.</p> |
|
| 127 |
-<p>The CDC recommends children receive five doses of the DTaP vaccine - at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 15 to 18 months, and 4 to 6 years of age. Booster shots are recommended every 10 years through adulthood.</p> |
|
| 128 |
-<p>In many states such as in Oregon, successful vaccination programs meant tetanus had not been seen in children for years - until the 2017 case. Other vaccine-preventable diseases, such as measles, have re-emerged in recent years, in large part because of an anti-vaccination movement and vaccine misinformation.</p> |
|
| 129 |
-<p>The World Health Organization has identified "vaccine hesitancy" as one of the top 10 global health threats for 2019.</p> |
|
| 130 |

|
| 131 |
-<div class="_1665V undefined"> |
|
| 132 |
-<p>"The reluctance or refusal to vaccinate despite the availability of vaccines . . . threatens to reverse progress made in tackling vaccine-preventable diseases," WHO stated. "Vaccination is one of the most cost-effective ways of avoiding disease - it currently prevents 2-3 million deaths a year, and a further 1.5 million could be avoided if global coverage of vaccinations improved."</p> |

-<p>A man accused of kidnapping 13-year-old Jayme Closs from her rural Wisconsin home after her parents were killed has purportedly written a letter from jail saying he regretted the crimes and committed them "mostly on impulse."</p> |
|
| 161 |
-<p>The letter supposedly from Jake Patterson, who was arrested in January after Closs escaped from his home, was sent to KARE 11 News reporter Lou Raguse in response to questions Raguse had mailed the inmate.</p> |

-<p>Wisconsin authorities have told the news station they believe the letter, postmarked February 28, is authentic. <em>The Washington Post</em> has not confirmed the authenticity of the letter and Patterson's attorney, Charles Glynn, did not respond to a request for comment Friday afternoon.</p> |
|
| 192 |
-<p>Police say Patterson confessed to stalking Jayme in October and to fatally shooting her parents, James and Denise Closs, at their home in Barron, Wisconsin, on October 15. According to a police complaint, he then kidnapped Jayme and kept her captive at his cabin, about 100km to the north, for nearly three months - until she escaped on January 10.</p> |

|
| 196 |
-<p>The letter seems to express remorse and confusion over the crimes, which set off a massive search for the missing teen and shook the state's residents for months as they went unsolved.</p> |
|
| 197 |
-<p>"I knew when I was caught (which I thought would happen a lot sooner) I wouldn't fight anything," the letter says. "I tried to give [police] everything . . . so they didn't have to interview Jayme. They did anyways and hurt her more for no reason."</p> |
|
| 198 |
-<p>The letter claims that the writer planned to plead guilty later this month so her relatives wouldn't have to "worry about a trial." In response to various questions about his motives for carrying out such crimes, the letter writer told Raguse it was "not black and white."</p> |
|
| 199 |
-<p>"I can't believe I did this," the letter says. ". . . It was really stupid though looking back. . . . At the time I was really pissed. I didn't 'want' to. . . . The reason I did this is complicated."</p> |
|
| 200 |
-<p>On the back of the letter, according to an image posted by KARE 11 News, are large bubble letters: "I'm Sorry Jayme! For everything. I know it doesn't mean much."</p> |
|
| 201 |
-</div> |
|
| 202 |
-<div class="_1665V undefined"> |
|
| 203 |
-<p>A full transcript and images of the letter are on the news station's website.</p> |
|
| 204 |
-<p>Patterson has been charged with two counts of intentional homicide and one count each of kidnapping and armed burglary. He is being held at the Polk County Jail on $5 million bail.</p> |
|
| 205 |
-<p>The kidnapping and killings were publicised across the country as a desperate search for Jayme unfolded over nearly three months. Only after her rescue would police detail the lengths Patterson had allegedly gone to keep the 13-year-old captive, as <em>The Washington Post</em> reported in January:</p> |
|
| 206 |
-<p>"The girl told police that Patterson would have her hide under his twin bed, stacking the area around it with tote bags, laundry bins and weights so that he would be able to hear or see if she moved," <em>The Post</em> report said. "Police said she told them that 'Patterson made it clear that nobody was to know she was there or bad things would happen to her.' Guests had apparently come and gone to his house while she was under the bed, the complaint said.</p> |
|
| 207 |
-<p>"And he made her stay under the bed when he left the house, sometimes as long as 12 hours with no food, water or bathroom break, the complaint said," the report said. "He struck her with a hard household object one time when she upset him, threatening that the punishment would be worse if it happened again.</p> |
|
| 208 |
-</div> |
|
| 209 |
-<div class="_1665V undefined"> |
|
| 210 |
-<p>"On January 10, Patterson told her he was going to leave the house for five or six hours, the complaint said, making her crawl under the bed beforehand," according to report. "But after he left, Jayme moved the bins and weights away, put on a pair of his shoes, and walked out toward the road until she found a woman walking her dog. Jeanne Nutter told police that Jayme told her her name during the encounter. 'I don't know where I am,' the disheveled girl told her. 'He killed my parents.' And, 'Please help - I want to go home.' "</p> |
|
| 211 |
-<p>In the letter, the writer says he tried to control what Jayme saw on the news about her kidnapping while she was trapped in his cabin.</p> |
|
| 212 |
-<p>"I followed it . . . through my phone," the letter says. "If something popped up on TV about it, I would change the channel. . . . Would tell Jayme 'I'm sorry, I can't watch this.' [I don't know] what she knew."</p> |
|
| 213 |
-<p>The letter notes that the writer was able to keep his family members from learning Jayme was at the cabin because he kept her hidden on Saturdays, the days his father visited.</p> |
|
| 214 |
-<p>"My family respects privacy so no one even went in my room," the letter says.</p> |
|
| 215 |
-</div> |
|
| 216 |
-<div class="_1665V undefined"> |
|
| 217 |
-<p>The letter also accused the police of misrepresentation.</p> |
|
| 218 |
-<p>"The cops say I planned this thoroughly, and that I said that," the letter says. "They're really good at twisting your words around, put them in different spots, straight up lie. Little mad about that. Trying to cover up their mistakes I guess. This was mostly on impulse. I don't think like a serial killer."</p> |

-<p><strong>London:</strong> British Home Secretary Sajid Javid faced criticism on Saturday after the death of a UK teenager's baby in a Syrian camp.</p> |
|
| 266 |
-<p>Shamima Begum, who had left London as a 15-year-old in 2015 to join the Islamic State group, had pleaded with British authorities before her baby was born to let her return to the UK to raise the child.</p> |
|
| 267 |
-<p>But Javid revoked her passport, saying Begum hadn't shown any remorse.</p> |

-<p>Fellow Conservative Party lawmaker Phillip Lee said on Saturday he was "deeply concerned" by Javid's handling of the case.</p> |
|
| 273 |
-<p>He said it was clear 19-year-old Begum "holds abhorrent views," but called her a child who was a product of British society. Britain had a moral duty to her and to her baby, he said.</p> |
|
| 274 |
-<p>When Begum first started speaking to reporters more than three weeks ago, she said the first two children she had given birth to since joining the extremist group had died of malnutrition and other ailments. She said she wanted to come home so she didn't lose another child.</p> |
|
| 275 |
-<p>Her predicament sparked a national debate on how the UK should handle Britons who had joined the extremists and now seek to return because IS has lost its territory in Syria and Iraq.</p> |
|
| 276 |
-<p>Kirsty McNeill, a director at Save the Children UK, said Britain should "take responsibility for their citizens" in Syria.</p> |

|

-<p>"It is possible the death of this baby boy and others could have been avoided," she said.</p> |
|
| 280 |
-<p>Javid didn't comment directly on the baby's death. A government spokesman said "the death of any child is tragic" and reiterated the British government's advice that citizens avoid travel to Syria.</p> |

-<p><strong>Islamabad:</strong> The bodies of a British and Italian climber who went missing while ascending Pakistan's so-called "Killer Mountain" have been found, the Italian Ambassador to Pakistan said on Saturday.</p> |
|
| 305 |
-<p>Italian Daniele Nardi and fellow mountaineer Tom Ballard were attempting a rare winter ascent of the 8,126-metre Nanga Parbat in the Himalayas, considered one of the hardest mountaineering feats in the world.</p> |
|
| 306 |
-<p>"With great sadness I inform that the search for Nardi Daniele and Tom Ballard is over as...the search team have confirmed that the silhouettes spotted on Mummery at about 5900 metres are those of Daniele and Tom. R.I.P. #NangaParbat," Italian envoy Stefano Pontecorvo tweeted.</p> |

-<p>The two climbers were last heard from on February 24, when Nardi, an experienced climber with a high profile in Italy, called his wife.</p> |
|

-<p>Ballard is the son of famed British climber Alison Hargreaves who became the first woman to climb Mount Everest unaided in 1995 but died later the same year while descending from the summit of Pakistan's K2, the world's second-tallest mountain.</p> |
|
| 313 |
-<p>The first successful winter ascent of Nanga Parbat was made in February 2016. A Polish climber died on the mountain in January 2018, but his female French climbing partner was saved by climbers who had been airlifted from K2 to conduct a daring night-time rescue mission.</p> |
|
| 314 |
-<p>In June 2017, a Spanish man and an Argentinian were killed in an avalanche while trying to reach the summit.</p> |

-<p>Butts, who knows Trudeau from their days at McGill University, faced a difficult task: To change the political narrative around the controversy, rehabilitate the public image of his best friend and former boss, while not disparaging Wilson-Raybould, whose testimony suggested unsavoury political backroom tactics.</p> |

-<p>At a press conference on Thursday, Trudeau denied interfering in Canada's judicial system, and offered no apology, asserting only that lessons had been learned, Reuters reported. "There was never any inappropriate pressure," Trudeau said. "As we look back over the past weeks, there are many lessons to be learned and many things we would have liked to have done differently," he said, adding he should have been aware Wilson-Raybould was unhappy.</p> |
|
| 449 |
-<p>The whole story is particularly scandalous because Trudeau, elected in 2015, was a media darling for years, perceived as a champion of women and Indigenous rights. Though this is arguably the first time Trudeau's golden boy status has been tarnished, the shine had faded a few times before. Below, a look at Trudeau's previous - albeit far lower stakes - scandals.</p> |

-<h3>The time Trudeau explained quantum computing</h3> |
|
| 453 |
-<p>In 2016, Trudeau was at a news conference at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Ontario. A reporter half-jokingly asked the prime minister to explain quantum computing. He did. The moment went viral. It then turned out that, earlier that day, he said that he'd hoped someone would ask him about quantum computing. It was staged.</p> |

-<h3>The time Trudeau broke an ethics law</h3> |
|
| 484 |
-<p>In December 2017, Canada's ethics commissioner ruled that Trudeau had violated ethics laws with two all-expenses-paid trips to the Bahamas. The island they visited was owned by the Aga Khan, spiritual leader of the Ismaili Muslims (and a billionaire). Trudeau and his family took an undisclosed trip to the island at the end of 2016, and his wife took another in March of that same year.</p> |

|
| 486 |
-<div class="_1665V undefined"> |
|
| 487 |
-<p>Trudeau tried to say that taking trips on a private helicopter to the island wasn't a violation of the Conflict of Interest Act because he and the Aga Khan were friends, and public officeholders can accept gifts from friends. The ethics commissioner, Mary Dawson, wasn't buying it; Trudeau and the Aga Khan had spoken once in 30 years before Trudeau became Liberal Party leader. Her report said Trudeau violated four sections of the act - the first time a sitting prime minister had done so since it became law in 2006.</p> |
|
| 488 |
-<h3>The time Trudeau told a woman to say "peoplekind", not "mankind"</h3> |
|
| 489 |
-<p>"Maternal love is the love that's going to change the future of mankind," said a woman asking about laws on the charitable status of religious organisations at a February 2018 event.</p> |
|
| 490 |
-<p><a href="https://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/justin-trudeau-corrected-a-woman-for-saying-mankind-wed-like-to-say-peoplekind-20180207-h0v7gs.html">"We like to say 'peoplekind,' not necessarily 'mankind,' because it's more inclusive," Trudeau replied.</a></p> |
|
| 491 |
-<p>People had a field day. Trudeau and his political correctness had gone too far this time! Trudeau corrected a woman! Fox News was on the case! Trudeau later apologised and said he made a "dumb joke".</p> |

-<h3>The time Trudeau went to India</h3> |
|
| 495 |
-<p>Going to India is not, in and of itself, scandalous. But Trudeau made a few missteps when he went there in February 2018 (a big month for Trudeau scandals).</p> |
|
| 496 |
-<p>First, there were the Trudeau family outfits, which were made fun of by locals, who said the Trudeau clan was playing "fancy dress".</p> |
|
| 497 |
-<p>Then, there was the fact that a Sikh man convicted of attempted murder of an Indian politician was invited to dine with Trudeau in New Delhi (the invitation was rescinded, but the man, Jaspal Atwal, was also seen with Trudeau's wife at a reception in Mumbai). A security report found "gaps" in the process of vetting events. And the whole thing cost more than the government initially disclosed.</p> |

-<h3>The time Trudeau addressed groping allegations</h3> |
|
| 501 |
-<p>Last northern summer, a reporter asked Trudeau to address allegations that he'd groped a woman at a music festival 18 years before. Trudeau said that he "did not act inappropriately" but that he <a href="https://www.smh.com.au/world/north-america/woman-says-trudeau-apologised-after-grope-20180708-p4zq92.html">apologised to the woman</a> "in the moment" and said: "I respect the fact that someone else might have experienced this differently."</p> |

-<p><strong>New York:</strong> Jay Wilson's memory of that sunny Thursday morning in October is disturbingly clear.</p> |
|
| 533 |
-<p>He had pulled up outside a unit block in the small city of Forsyth, Georgia, wondering if he was at the right location. He was only stopping by briefly to help a friend prepare for a job interview before heading on to a meeting with the first client for his fledgling PR business and then accompanying his father to a cancer biopsy.</p> |

The driver jumped out and, before Wilson could say a word, fired a shot through the window, shattering the now 40-year-old's leg. In a panic, Wilson opened the door and slumped onto the road.</p> |

-<p>"I will never forget this as long as I live," he says. "I looked up at him and said, 'Hey man, I don't know you, but you don't have to do this'. And there was nothing. It was chilling. I looked ... in his eyes and there was no life behind them."</p> |

|
| 547 |
-<p>There were 39,773 gun fatalities in the US in 2017, the highest in 20 years, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). (That's 12 per 100,000 people, compared to Australia's one per 100,000.) Two-thirds were suicides.</p> |
|
| 548 |
-<p>About 705,000 people arrive alive at emergency departments with firearm-related injuries each year, the vast majority from assaults and unintentional shootings. For those that go on to receive inpatient care, the average cost of their stay is $US95,887 ($134,000), a study by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, published in <a href="https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hlthaff.2017.0625"><em>Health Affairs </em>in 2017</a>, found.</p> |

|
| 555 |
-<p>The $US2.8 billion in annual hospital charges for gun-related injuries is the tip of the iceberg, says Johns Hopkins Hospital's director of emergency general surgery, Dr Joseph Sakran, who co-authored the study. It doesn't account for lost work and outpatient care such as rehabilitation or therapy.</p> |

-<p>"The other difficult thing about accounting for [the true cost] is the fact that there’s essentially been a limitation on research," he says.</p> |
|
| 559 |
-<p>A 1996 provision inserted into a funding bill by Republican congressman Jay Dickey mandated that no funds provided to the CDC could be used to "advocate or promote gun control". Congress redirected $US2.6 million from the agency's budget, the exact amount allocated for firearms research the year before, for traumatic brain injury research.</p> |

-<p>"It's such a polarised topic and it doesn't need to be because the reality is Americans have more in common than what divides us," he says. "Nearly 97 per cent of Americans agree on universal background checks for all firearms [according to a 2018 <a href="https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=2521">Quinnipiac University poll</a>]. The problem is that elected officials stand at a divide on a lot of these aspects for, honestly, not a lot of good reasons."</p> |

-<p>Gun reform and medical costs are likely to become hot-button issues in the 2020 election, with several Democratic candidates promising true universal healthcare or "Medicare for all", an issue that has remained on the political fringes until now. (About 20 per cent of Americans have public insurance like Medicare or Medicaid, which cover seniors and low-income earners). But both issues have powerful enemies: the health insurance and pharmaceutical industries, and the National Rifle Association, respectively.</p> |

-<p>"For the first time in a generation, the realisation of a right to healthcare ... is on the horizon," Adam Gaffney, a Harvard Medical School instructor and secretary of Physicians for a National Health Program, wrote in a <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/sep/16/medicare-for-all-universal-healthcare-democrats">recent op-ed</a>. "But achieving it requires not repeating the mistakes of history. It means somehow countering a staggeringly rich corporate opposition while at the same time preserving the essence ... of the vision. It is a formidable task, but one that has never seemed so winnable."</p> |

-<p>But, because the incident was worldwide news, the hospital agreed to cover all medical bills. "I would've had absolutely no way of paying for it, I don't come from a stable home, there would be no way for me to even scratch together a tenth of those bills," she says. "I was looking at the bills flooding my house, like $20,000 for surgery. All these expenses for something I didn't ask for."</p> |

-<p>Carter, then a 20-year-old college student, was on holiday in Orlando with her best friend Tiara and Tiara's cousin Akyra. As the nightclub was being showered with bullets, Carter and Akyra ran outside but, after realising Tiara was still inside, they ran back in. The women huddled in a bathroom with about 20 others until they heard gunman Omar Mateen's footsteps and he started blasting the bathroom too. Akyra was among 49 people killed.</p> |

-<p>Carter was shot multiple times in both legs and had a painful recovery, learning to walk again and spending almost a year on crutches and in physical therapy.</p> |
|

-<p>"I was going through a lot emotionally," says Carter, who has since written a book, <em>Survive Then Live</em>, and begun work as an outreach director for the <a href="http://gvsfoundation.org/">Gun Violence Survivors Foundation</a>.</p> |
|
| 580 |
-<p>"I felt a lot of guilt about my friend not making it, I was trying to process what I'd gone through, but the biggest toll was seeing the conspiracy theorists attacking me. I was so weak and broken down emotionally," she says.</p> |

He woke from a three-day coma to find he couldn't talk or write. His jaw and leg had to be reconstructed.</p> |
|
| 584 |
-<p>In a eerie experience he can't explain, he heard a voice on three consecutive nights in hospital saying, "forgive him". Bowden, as Wilson came to learn, had apparently realised he'd shot the wrong person and fled. As police surrounded him on a nearby highway, he suicided. In his car was a note indicating he planned to kill himself and his children.</p> |
|
| 585 |
-<p>"I just had this moment of clarity where I didn’t have any other choice but to forgive him," Wilson says. "After that, everything changed."</p> |
|
| 586 |
-<p>The next morning his blood pressure halved and a tracheostomy tube in his throat came out. He could eat and talk.</p> |

-<p>But as his condition improved, his insurance company began pushing back on bills, questioning if they were necessary. Two years on, symptoms of PTSD have surfaced. He has foregone facial reconstruction surgeries and physical therapy. A bullet remains lodged in his brain and he suffers migraines and mind blanks.</p> |
|
| 590 |
-<p>Most of the estimated $US100,000 spent on surgery has been reimbursed by a state-run victims' assistance agency, however he and his wife have lost their credit rating, which is crucial for securing loans and rental leases.</p> |
|
| 591 |
-<p>His wife needed a "care" credit card - a card for medical expenses that many patients use - and has racked up $US27,000 just to keep the family fed and housed.</p> |
|
| 592 |
-<p>"I want people to know total devastation is happening, especially when the breadwinner gets shot," says Wilson, who has started the 524 Foundation to help victims with mounting bills. "The economic toll, the mental toll, the physical toll, all that together is too much. I’m in a hole - in the double-digit thousands - but I’m not worried."</p> |

People were spilling out from Islamic State areas and into refugee camps. I was with redoubtable photographer Kate Geraghty in nearby Turkey, and we were trying to get into Syria to look for and interview surviving Australian IS fighters.</p> |

-<p>At the last possible moment, the Turkish government had rejected our application to cross into Syria across the southern border via the "shield zone".</p> |
|
| 648 |
-<p>"It's not conducive at this time," the Turkish authorities told us. Too dangerous, we presumed. Weeks of planning flew out the window.</p> |
|
| 649 |
-<p>But the Middle East is riddled with borders, and there's almost always a Plan B.</p> |
|
| 650 |
-<p>So we turned our sights to Syria's border with Iraq. We penned a new plan and revised our budget. The boss agreed to the change of itinerary and the cost. The HR department approved our safety plan to drive west from the Iraqi border across Syria to the recently liberated former IS stronghold of Raqqa, and then to the camps in the north.</p> |

|
| 653 |
-<p>But time and money were both running short. We needed the Iraqi permission within days, or we'd miss our flights home. Extending was not an option.</p> |
|
| 654 |
-<p>The so-called "official stamp" seemed like a small thing, but it was a big problem. I reckon the <em>Sydney Morning Herald</em> had last had one in about 1964.</p> |
|
| 655 |
-<p>I called our Iraqi fixer.</p> |
|
| 656 |
-<p>"We don't have a stamp!" I pleaded.</p> |
|
| 657 |
-<p>"Well it's a problem because they need a stamp," he replied. "Stamps are really sensitive things in this area."</p> |

-<p>He asked me to send an official letter authorising him to get one made. I conjured the letter on a spare piece of letterhead in Geraghty's bag, and sent it off.</p> |
|
| 661 |
-<p>Our fixer sought advice. Unfortunately, an official stamp would take at least a week for him to make.</p> |

The tiny 2009 under the SMH does not refer so much to the year of founding of the newspaper, but the postcode of its Sydney office. The sun symbols were an embellishment of our man's artistic imagination. And the capitalisation of the rest of the address is, well, idiosyncratic.</p> |
|
| 668 |
-<p>But it worked.</p> |
|
| 669 |
-<p>I wrote another letter to the border authorities, affixed the "stamp", printed out the document at the hotel, then scanned it again and sent it. By this stage we were in Iraq, talking to refugees in camps there.</p> |

-<p>Permission to cross the Syrian border finally arrived one Thursday morning in late October.</p> |
|
| 673 |
-<p>"I hope you are doing well, I am writing to inform you that you and Ms Kate have the permission to cross border," the email said.</p> |
|
| 674 |
-<p>Three-and-a-half hours after the email arrived, the border closed for the weekend. But the border was a four-hour drive from our hotel. We had missed our window by about 30 minutes.</p> |
|
| 675 |
-<p>Syria was out of reach. On such things do the lives of foreign correspondents sometimes turn.</p> |
|
| 676 |
-<p>The first order of business when we got home was to procure a new, official, genuine stamp. This one has the newspaper's correct establishment date, but is regrettably devoid of sun symbols.</p> |

-<p><strong>Toronto:</strong> Being a feminist is not an easy job.</p> |
|
| 722 |
-<p>Just ask Justin Trudeau. A day after <a href="/link/follow-20170101-p512nx">his non-apology for the political crisis</a> engulfing his government, with accusations that he bullied his female justice minister on a criminal case, the Canadian prime minister met with young women in Toronto to celebrate International Women's Day.</p> |

-<p>The prime minister is arguably not just Canada's most feminist leader, but also one of the world's must public proponents of gender equality.</p> |
|
| 729 |
-<p>He appointed the country's first gender-balanced Cabinet and passed its first gender-equality budget. He increased international aid directed specifically at women, introduced policies to protect women from violence and sexual harassment at work and at home, and unlocked funding for grassroots feminist organisations across the country.</p> |
|
| 730 |
-<p>Until recently, it proved a winning strategy. The women's vote carried Trudeau's Liberal Party to power in 2015, and while male support has waned, Canadian women have largely stuck with him. But the glow is fading fast.</p> |
|
| 731 |
-<p>As the prime minister admitted on Thursday, it's been "a tough few weeks".</p> |

-<p>The trouble started when Jody Wilson-Raybould abruptly resigned from the Cabinetafter a news report accused Trudeau's team of pressuring her to negotiate a settlement in a corruption case against a large Canadian company, rather than pursuing a criminal penalty.</p> |
|
| 735 |
-<p>Compared with political scandals around the world, the accusations seemed tame.</p> |
|
| 736 |
-<p>But with just seven months until the next national election, they struck at the core of Trudeau's image as a feminist politician committed to doing politics in a new, clean way.</p> |

-<p>Last week, in testimony before a parliamentary committee, Wilson-Raybould broke her silence and explained her reasons for resigning — that she felt hounded by the prime minister and his aides to change her decision on the case in an inappropriate way, which she felt would bend the law.</p> |
|
| 743 |
-<p>Less than a week later, a second female minister quit Trudeau's Cabinet. The minister, Jane Philpott, who is also a medical doctor, said in her resignation letter that it was a matter of "acting on one's principles".</p> |

He offered no apology.</p> |

-<p>In his remarks, Trudeau described his leadership as one of collaboration, listening and learning together — a classic feminist approach to power.</p> |

-<p>"I plan to listen and learn from their lived experiences as we talk about how we can work together to deliver true gender equality in this country and around the world," he said.</p> |
|

-<p>For many, it was not enough to erase the image of a group of mostly men ganging up on a woman in order to get her to bend her morals.</p> |
|
| 754 |
-<p>Add to that the whispers after Wilson-Raybould's resignation that painted her as difficult, self-centred and untrustworthy — and the characterisation by the country's male finance minister that Philpott's was an act of friendship.</p> |
|
| 755 |
-<p>"Philpott is an incredibly accomplished and strong Cabinet minister, and her decision to step down is being reduced to simply being the actions of a supportive friend, falling into sexist tropes," said Shannon Sampert, a columnist for <em>The Winnipeg Free Press</em> and an associate professor in political science at the University of Winnipeg.</p> |
|

|

-<p>Until a month ago, few feminists openly questioned Trudeau's sincerity to the cause.</p> |
|
| 760 |
-<p>The Canadian branch of international development agency Oxfam gave his government a positive rating in its third annual "feminist scorecard," saying that its efforts "have undoubtedly started to pay off" and that it had offered "many wins for feminists to celebrate."</p> |
|
| 761 |
-<p>While the weekly poll by Canadian firm Nanos Research showed the party's popularity had fluctuated among female voters, it still was strong at 44 percent in early January. Since then, it has dropped so much, it could cost Trudeau the election next year.</p> |
|
| 762 |
-<p>The question will be whether Trudeau can regain his reputation by the election, and whether voters think he's a worse choice than his competition.</p> |
|
| 763 |
-<p>Many feminists in Canada bitterly recall the last government under Stephen Harper, a Conservative, which scrapped a national child-care plan, shut down federal Status of Women offices across the country and proposed protecting girls with a national hotline to report "barbaric cultural practices".</p> |
