Greek Church tells priests to ignore pandemic closure order

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece’s powerful Orthodox Church is rebelling against a government order briefly closing places of worship under a weeklong drive to tighten virus restrictions before the planned reopening of schools. The conservative Church’s ruling body issued a statement Monday directing priests to admit worshippers during indoor services for Wednesday’s feast of the Epiphany. The Holy Synod said it “does not accept” the new restrictions, in force from Jan. 3-10, and would send a letter of protest to the center-right government. Church functionaries have shown a mixed response to pandemic containment measures, largely ranging from lukewarm support to virulent opposition.

Arrested Zimbabwe journalist in prison isolation over COVID

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A prominent Zimbabwean journalist charged with communicating falsehoods has been sent to prison isolation after it emerged that he was likely exposed to people with COVID-19 prior to his arrest. The lawyer for Hopewell Chin’ono called the possible exposure a reason why he should be allowed to stay at home. The prosecution argued he should be held “to keep everyone safe.” Chin’ono is one of Zimbabwe’s most prominent critics of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration, accusing it of corruption and human rights abuses.

GOP's Rep. Jim Jordan won't seek Portman's US Senate seat

CINCINNATI (AP) — Republican U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, a fiery Donald Trump supporter, won’t run to succeed Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, who announced this week he isn’t going to seek a third term in 2022. The eighth-term congressman’s name surfaced soon after Portman’s announcement as a potential strong contender in what’s expected to be a crowded GOP field. Six-term Rep. Bill Johnson, from heavily pro-Trump southeast Ohio, former Rep. Jim Renacci from central Ohio and former state Treasurer Josh Mandel, and at least two current Ohio Cabinet officials are viewed as potential GOP candidates. Several Democrats are weighing a run.

Officials: Extremist threat to Minnesota Capitol has faded

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota’s public safety commissioner says Authorities now believe there is no credible, immediate threat from extremists to Minnesota in the runup to President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration. But Commissioner John Harrington says law enforcement agencies won’t be taking any chances. The FBI this week warned of potential attacks at state capitols following the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump. That followed a bulletin from the FBI Minneapolis field office last month about potential threats from the right-wing Boogaloo movement to the Minnesota capitol this Sunday. But Harrington says circumstances have changed and that information is outdated.

ATLANTA (AP) — Workers at a northeast Georgia poultry plant say they escaped through a fog of vaporizing liquid nitrogen that killed six of their coworkers. An investigation continues into the cause of the leak at Foundation Foods Group. The Hall County Sheriff’s Office says the dead include 45-year-old Jose DeJesus Elias-Cabrera of Gainesville, 35-year-old Corey Alan Murphy of Clermont, 28-year-old Nelly Perez-Rafael of Gainesville, 41-year-old Saulo Suarez-Bernal of Dawsonville, 38-year-old Victor Vellez of Gainesville and 28-year-old Edgar Vera-Garcia of Gainesville. Four people remain hospitalized Friday. Investigators have begun evaluating equipment at the plant that could have played a role in the leak, but say its location and cause remain undetermined.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A federal judge has denied bail for a 60-year-old Arkansas man who posed for photos with his feet on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s desk during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Chief Judge Beryl Howell said Thursday that Richard Barnett’s behavior was “brazen, entitled, and dangerous,” and she called him “one of the stars of this assault.” Barnett is charged with entering a restricted building while carrying a dangerous weapon; violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds; and theft of public money, property or records. Prosecutors say Barnett was caught on video carrying a 950,000 volt stun gun during the raid.

LATHAM, N.Y. (AP) — A home for retired and infirm nuns lost nine residents to COVID-19 during December as the coronavirus pandemic’s second wave surged in upstate New York. The St. Joseph’s Provincial House near Albany had been spared by the virus in its first wave last spring. But last month, 47 of its 140 residents tested positive for the virus, along with 21 employees. Only one sister is still being treated for the infection. The coronavirus has also taken a toll at other convents, where elderly residents in a communal setting are vulnerable.

NEW YORK (AP) — A planned book by Sen. Josh Hawley has been canceled by its publisher in the wake of this week’s siege of the Capitol in Washington by a mob of pro-Trump supporters. The Missouri Republican is calling the decision “Orwellian” and vowed to fight it in court. Hawley is a leading backer of President Trump’s baseless claims that the election was stolen and that he prevailed over Democrat Joseph Biden. Hawley has often been cited as possible future presidential candidate and his book, scheduled to come out in June, was an intended forum for a favorite theme _ the undue power of Google, Facebook and other internet giants.

Amazon's Bezos tops list of richest charitable gifts in 2020

SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) — The world’s richest person made the single largest charitable contribution in 2020, according to The Chronicle of Philanthropy’s annual list of top donations, a $10 billion gift that is intended to help fight climate change. Amazon’s founder and CEO, Jeff Bezos, whose “real-time” worth Forbes magazine estimates at roughly $188 billion, used his contribution to launch his Bezos Earth Fund. The fund has paid out $790 million so far, according to the Chronicle. Setting aside Bezos’ whopping gift, though, the sum of the top 10 donations last year — $2.6 billion — was the lowest since 2011, even as many billionaires vastly increased their wealth in the stock market rally that catapulted technology shares last year.

Badgers FB: Kolodziej moves to d-line coach
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
MADISON (WQOW) - The Wisconsin Badgers' defensive line will be coached by a familiar face next season.
Ross Kolodziej, who helped lead the Badgers to a pair of Big Ten Championships as a player, will move from strength and conditioning coach to defensive line coach in 2021. Head coach Paul Chryst announced the hire Wednesday.
“I’m excited for Ross and for our team that he will have the opportunity to coach our defensive line,” Chryst said in a release. “He has played the position at the highest level and has tremendous knowledge of the position. I’m confident in his abilities as a coach and have witnessed that first-hand through all the years we have been together.
“Our players who have worked with Ross, both present players and guys that have gone through the program, are fired up for him. I know our current guys in the D-line room are looking forward to getting to work with him even more closely now.”
Kolodziej has spent the last seven seasons as a head strength and conditioning coach under Chryst, including the last six at Wisconsin. He spent the 2013 season as an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Pittsburgh before being promoted to head strength coach a year later. He has served in the same capacity since returning to UW in 2015.
During his time leading the Badgers’ weight room, Wisconsin has produced 11 first-team All-Americans, including six consensus All-America selections, and sent 33 players to the NFL.
Prior to joining Chryst’s staff, Kolodziej served as a graduate assistant at Wisconsin in 2012, working with the Badgers’ defensive line. That followed a professional career that spanned seven seasons in the NFL and three in the United Football League, where the two-time team captain helped Las Vegas claim back-to-back league titles.
The Stevens Point native becomes the sixth UW alumnus on the Badgers’ coaching staff, joining Chryst, Leonhard, associate head coach/offensive coordinator Joe Rudolph, quarterbacks coach Jon Budmayr and tight ends coach Mickey Turner.

"MADISON (WQOW) - The Wisconsin Badgers' defensive line will be coached by a familiar face next season.\nRoss Kolodziej, who helped lead the Badgers to a pair of Big Ten Championships as a player, will move from strength and conditioning coach to defensive line coach in 2021. Head coach Paul Chryst announced the hire Wednesday.\n“I’m excited for Ross and for our team that he will have the opportunity to coach our defensive line,” Chryst said in a release. “He has played the position at the highest level and has tremendous knowledge of the position. I’m confident in his abilities as a coach and have witnessed that first-hand through all the years we have been together.\n“Our players who have worked with Ross, both present players and guys that have gone through the program, are fired up for him. I know our current guys in the D-line room are looking forward to getting to work with him even more closely now.”\nKolodziej has spent the last seven seasons as a head strength and conditioning coach under Chryst, including the last six at Wisconsin. He spent the 2013 season as an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Pittsburgh before being promoted to head strength coach a year later. He has served in the same capacity since returning to UW in 2015.\nDuring his time leading the Badgers’ weight room, Wisconsin has produced 11 first-team All-Americans, including six consensus All-America selections, and sent 33 players to the NFL.\nPrior to joining Chryst’s staff, Kolodziej served as a graduate assistant at Wisconsin in 2012, working with the Badgers’ defensive line. That followed a professional career that spanned seven seasons in the NFL and three in the United Football League, where the two-time team captain helped Las Vegas claim back-to-back league titles.\nThe Stevens Point native becomes the sixth UW alumnus on the Badgers’ coaching staff, joining Chryst, Leonhard, associate head coach/offensive coordinator Joe Rudolph, quarterbacks coach Jon Budmayr and tight ends coach Mickey Turner.",

EU gender pay gap still significant, warn trade unions

BRUSSELS (AP) — Women in Europe doing jobs requiring the same skills as jobs done by men are still being paid significantly less, according to a study by the the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC). The major trade union organization compared wages in two countries from Western and Eastern Europe — Germany and Romania — looking at women working in the sector of household appliances and men working in car manufacturing. In Germany, ETUC said, women in the white goods sector earn €865 less per month in gross income than men making cars, for jobs requiring similar skills.

BEIJING (AP) — The former head of a Chinese state-owned asset management company has been sentenced to death for bribe taking in one of the harshest punishments for economic crimes in recent years. A court in Tianjin also found Lai Xiaomin guilty of lesser charges including corruption and bigamy. Life sentences and suspended death sentences commuted to life are frequently handed down in corruption cases, but death sentences without the chance of reprieve have become rare in recent years. In its ruling, the court cited the “especially enormous” size of the bribes Lai accepted, saying they exceeded $93 million in one instance.

GOP rebuffs Trump on $2K aid, defense as Congress wraps up

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate has wrapped up a rare New Year’s Day session with Republicans rejecting President Donald Trump’s demand for $2,000 COVID-19 aid checks. They also overrode his veto of a sweeping defense bill. Together, it was an unusual one-two rebuke at the end of a chaotic Congress. Democrats vowed to try again to approve more COVID-19 aid when the new Congress convenes Sunday. Trump lashed out at GOP leaders, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says Congress has provided enough pandemic aid, for now. Smaller $600 checks are being mailed to households.

Portugal scrambles for virus beds; health system threatened

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — A January pandemic surge has stretched medical services in Portugal to its breaking point. By size of population, Portugal has been the worst-hit country in the world for more than a week in terms of daily new cases and deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University. Portugal is now facing an alarming problem: as soon as new beds come available, they are quickly filled and more are needed. And while extra beds and new wards are relatively quick to produce, trained medical staff aren’t. Experts predict Portugal’s surge will peak only in mid-February, raising the specter of a collapse of the country’s health care system.

HONG KONG (AP) — An opposition party and local media say about 50 Hong Kong pro-democracy figures have been arrested by police under a national security law. The reports cite their involvement in an unofficial primary election last year held to increase their chances of controlling the legislature. Those arrested included former lawmakers and pro-democracy activists, and the group were arrested on suspicion of subversion under the city’s national security law. Pro-democracy activists and lawmakers had last July held an unofficial primary election to figure out which candidates they should field in a now-postponed legislative election that would boost their chances of gaining a majority of seats in legislature.

BERLIN (AP) — Chancellor Angela Merkel is holding a virtual meeting Tuesday with the heads of Germany’s 16 states to discuss the country’s pandemic measures amid concerns that new mutations of the coronavirus could trigger a fresh surge in cases. Germany’s infection rate has stabilized in recent days, indicating that existing restrictions may have been effective in bringing down the numbers. Scientists say some mutations may make the virus more infectious, leading to a faster rise in cases and potentially overwhelming health systems. Germany’s health minister said he is ordering laboratories to sequence the genome of 5% of positive samples to help track the spread of variants.

CAIRO (AP) — A Sudanese doctors’ union says the death toll from tribal violence between Arabs and non-Arabs in West Darfur province has climbed to at least 48, including women and children. The clashes grew out of a fistfight between two people on Friday and continued till Sunday morning. The violence also wounded at least 97. Local authorities have imposed a round-the-clock curfew on the entire province to contain the situation. The clashes pose a challenge to efforts by Sudan’s transitional government to end decades-long rebellions in areas like Darfur. The violence comes two weeks after the U.N. Security Council ended the joint U.N.-African Union peacekeeping force’s mandate in Darfur.

SMITHFIELD, R.I. (AP) — A national Muslim advocacy group is denouncing racist graffiti found in Rhode Island and Virginia. The Council on American-Islamic Relations said Wednesday that graffiti was found recently on the Stillwater Scenic Trail in Smithfield, Rhode Island. The organization didn’t elaborate on the vandalism, but local news outlets said the graffiti was critical of the Black Lives Matter movement and included expletives. Meanwhile in Virginia, police recently found graffiti with white nationalist messages near the Frederick Douglass Elementary School in Leesburg. CAIR said the graffiti was found the same weekend as white supremacist flyers were circulated in the neighborhood.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Republican Party is facing a defining moment. The move to certify the Electoral College for President-elect Joe Biden on Wednesday has divided the GOP, opening a schism between those wanting to honor democratic norms and those staying in lockstep with President Donald Trump out of hopes of avoiding his wrath and inheriting his supporters. The final outcome is not in doubt: The results will eventually be certified for Biden. But what comes next for the Republican Party is anything but clear. It is a party engulfed in a civil war, a split caused by degrees of loyalty to Trump.

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — When thousands of people in the European Union rolled up their sleeves to get vaccinated against coronavirus, one corner of the continent felt isolated and abandoned: the Balkans. With much of the Balkans struggling to get COVID-19 vaccines from multiple sources, most of the nations are still waiting for their first vaccines to arrive and have no firm timeline when massive inoculations could start. What is already clear is that Serbia, Bosnia, Albania, North Macedonia, Kosovo and Montenegro — home to some 20 million people — are lagging far behind their Western European neighbors.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — A 13-year-old Milwaukee girl fatally shot over the weekend lost her brother to gun violence in 2017. Nevaeha Ware had dreams of becoming a doctor, telling Journal Sentinel columnist James E. Causey in 2017 that she wanted to take care of the children who needed to go to the doctor but couldn’t afford to go. She told Causey how much she missed her brother who had died three days earlier. Police say Ware was a passenger in a vehicle in Milwaukee Saturday when someone in another vehicle fired several shots and struck her. The circumstances leading up to the shooting are under investigation.

Mexican farmers find rare female statue in citrus grove

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Farmers digging in a citrus grove near Mexico’s Gulf coast have found a striking, six-foot-tall statue of a female figure who may represent an elite woman rather than a goddess, or some mixture of the two. The National Institute of Anthropology and History said Friday it is the first such statue found in the region known as the Huasteca. The carved woman has elaborate hair and marks of status, and may date to around 1450 to 1521. While the site where it was found is closer to the pre-Hispanic ruins of El Tajín, the statue shows some influences of the Aztecs.

Trump impeachment goes to Senate, testing his sway over GOP

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House impeachment case against Donald Trump has been delivered to the Senate for his upcoming trial. House Democratic prosecutors made the ceremonial walk across the Capitol late Monday to deliver the charge of incitement of insurrection, but Republican senators are easing off their criticism of the former president. It’s an early sign of Trump’s enduring sway over the party, even out of office. Instead Republicans are presenting a tangle of Republican legal arguments against the legitimacy of the trial and questioning whether Trump’s repeated demands to overturn the Joe Biden’s election really amounted to incitement. The trial is to begin in two weeks.

Biden starts presidency with goal of tackling pandemic
| null | null |

MADISON (WKOW) -- President Joe Biden took the oath of office on the deadliest single day for Americans during the pandemic.
He has an ambitious plan to help the country control the pandemic by administering 100 million vaccinations in the next 100 days.
UW-Madison infectious diseases expert Dr. Ajay Sethi said it will take more than just a plan for Biden to have an effect on COVID-19's spread.
"It takes more than an email to say, 'Hey, by the way, you've got to start vaccinating more to achieve our national targets,'" he said. "You would hope that the Biden administration will get funds through Congress and other means to be able to provide more than just a goal but also resources to achieve that goal."
Sethi said two current pinch points in vaccine distribution are the supply of vaccine doses and distribution of doses into communities across the country.
He said solving either issue won't be instantaneous.
"It takes time to get the infrastructure in place," he said. "Hiring new people takes time. Assuming these policies are put in place, are executed and they're effective, it'll take a while."
While Biden's plan focuses on his first 100 days in office, Sethi said the pandemic's course won't necessarily be affected that quickly.
"The first 30 days out of the 100, which is a big chunk of those 100 days, is a moving train that can't be stopped," he said. "Deaths are going to continue to climb because they reflect transmission that occurred three to four weeks prior to those deaths. So maybe we say 130 days, just to give that extra time there."

EXPLAINER: Italy faces a political crisis amid a pandemic
| null | null |

MILAN (AP) — Former Italian Premier Matteo Renzi is testing his already low popularity by provoking a political crisis that could bring down the government at yet another critical juncture in the fight against the pandemic. Renzi orchestrated the resignations of two ministers from his tiny but key Italia Viva party. The outcome of his power play will become clearer this week, when Premier Giuseppe Conte addresses both houses of Parliament. If Conte makes a successful bid for support, he could go on to form what would be his third coalition government since 2018. This isn’t Renzi’s first foray as an iconoclast in Italian politics. He became Italy’s leader in 2014 by unceremoniously deposing his party’s premier.

BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s disease control center is reporting 944 new COVID-19 deaths as Chancellor Angela Merkel and the country’s 16 state governors meet to decide on an extension of the country’s coronavirus lockdown. Germany’s lockdown took effect on Dec. 16 after a partial shutdown that started in early November failed to reduce new coronavirus infections. It was initially set to expire Jan. 10. It’s clear that Merkel and the governors will agree to extend it. The question is by how long, and to what extent schools will reopen. The leaders will also debate the criticism that both Germany and the European Union have faced that their coronavirus vaccination programs are being rolled out too slowly.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico is close to granting approval for Russia’s Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine, with lots of spy drama but little public data available. The approval process described by Mexico’s assistant health secretary Tuesday sounded like a cold-war spy thriller, and may not foment confidence in the shot. Hugo López-Gatell said a Mexican technical committee on new medications has recommended approving the vaccine, adding only “some details” were lacking. But he also said that despite weeks of conversations with Russian officials, he could not get his hands on the results of Phase 3 trials, which would indicate how effective the vaccine is.

MADRID (AP) — Spain is on high alert as a cold snap is covering much of the country with snow disrupting road, sea and air traffic, while authorities warn that worse might be in store over the weekend. Parts of central Spain, including the capital, are expected to receive more than 24 hours of continuous snowfall as Storm Filomena moves north from the Straits of Gibraltar. There are serious disruptions in some 270 roads and more than 40 flights have been canceled or delayed. In the southern Canarias archipelago, emergency services rescued 65 people from a ferry vessel that ran aground. The storm is expected to weaken and move northeast by Sunday.

In the southern Canarias archipelago, emergency services rescued 65 people from a ferry vessel that ran aground. The storm is expected to weaken and move northeast by Sunday.",

TOKYO (AP) — Remember the word: Playbook. This is the rule book that the IOC and Tokyo organizers will roll out next week to explain how 15,400 Olympic and Paralympic athletes and tens of thousands of others will try to safely enter Japan when the Olympics open in just under six months. Organizers and the International Olympic Committee are finally going public with their planning, hoping to push back against reports the Olympics will be canceled with Tokyo and much of Japan still under a state of emergency with COVID-19 cases rising. The Olympics are to open on July 23 followed by the Paralympics on Aug. 24.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — About 200 American Eagle flights have been canceled because the planes are undergoing overdue inspections of their nose gear. The planes are operated by PSA Airlines, a subsidiary of American Airlines. American said Thursday that most of PSA’s 130 Bombardier jets were taken out of service for inspections of bolts on the nose gear. American says a few of the planes have been inspected and returned to service. American didn’t say how long it will take to inspect the remaining planes. American says it is trying to arrange new flights for displaced customers. PSA is based in Dayton, Ohio, and operates many American Eagle flights in the eastern United States.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration will include a “virtual parade across America” consistent with crowd limits during the coronavirus era. Following the swearing-in ceremony on Inauguration Day on Jan. 20 on the west front of the U.S. Capitol, Biden and his wife, first lady Jill Biden, will join Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and her husband in participating in a socially distanced Pass in Review on the Capitol’s opposite front side, organizer said Sunday. Those are military traditions where Biden will review the readiness of military troops. Biden will also receive a traditional presidential escort from 15th Street to the White House that will be socially distanced. Organizers said the virtual parade will be designed to let people across the nation participate.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — A Latina immigrant has reached a $125,000 settlement after she says her detention during a traffic stop fit a pattern of racially discriminatory policing in a Maryland county. The settlement includes a written apology from the county’s sheriff. Lawyers for Sara Haidee Aleman Medrano on Thursday announced terms of her settlement of a federal lawsuit that she filed against Frederick County Sheriff Charles Jenkins and others. In his apology letter, Jenkins says the deputies who detained Medrano hadn’t been properly trained on the proper procedures for handling U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement warrants and deportation orders during routine criminal records checks.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Three new Democratic senators have been sworn into office, giving Democrats the majority in the Senate. In a first vote, the Senate has confirmed President Joe Biden’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines. The Senate is now split 50-50, with Vice President Kamala Harris as a potential tie-breaking vote. That’s alongside Democratic control of the House and White House — unified government to tackle the new president’s agenda. Harris delivered the oath of office to Democrats Jon Ossoff, Raphael Warnock and Alex Padilla. But Republican leader Mitch McConnell is refusing to enter a power-sharing agreement with Senate Democrats unless they meet his demands.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s military has kicked off a ground forces drill along the coast of the Gulf of Oman, the latest in a series of snap exercises that the country is holding amid escalating tensions over its nuclear program and Washington’s pressure campaign against Tehran. Iranian state TV said on Tuesday that commando units and airborne infantry were participating in the annual exercise, along with fighter jets, helicopters and military transport aircraft. Iran has recently stepped up military drills as part of an effort to pressure President-elect Joe Biden to rejoin the multinational accord meant to contain Iran’s nuclear program. President Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of the accord in 2018.

Kansas advances anti-abortion measure on Roe anniversary

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Republicans have pushed a proposed anti-abortion amendment to the Kansas Constitution through the state House on the 48th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s historic decision protecting abortion rights. The measure was approved Friday on an 86-38 vote, and abortion opponents had two votes more than the two-thirds majority necessary for passage. It goes next to the Senate for debate, possibly next week. The proposal would overturn a 2019 Kansas Supreme Court decision declaring access to abortion a “fundamental” right under the state’s Bill of Rights. The debate came on the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The extraordinary Republican effort to overturn the presidential election is being condemned by an outpouring of current and former GOP officials. They are warning that the effort to sow doubt in Joe Biden’s victory and keep President Donald Trump in office is undermining Americans’ faith in democracy. Trump has enlisted support from a dozen Republican senators and up to 100 House Republicans to challenge the Electoral College vote. Congress is set to convene Wednesday in a joint session to confirm President-elect Joe Biden’s 306-232 win. But a bipartisan group of 10 senators is criticizing the effort, saying that “the 2020 election is over.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has tapped nine of her most trusted allies in the House to argue the case for President Donald Trump’s impeachment. All of the Democrats are lawyers and many of them have deep experience investigating the president. They face the arduous task of convincing skeptical Senate Republicans to convict Trump. A single article of impeachment for “incitement of insurrection” was approved by the House on Wednesday, one week after a violent mob of Trump supporters invaded the Capitol. Lawmakers were counting the votes that cemented Trump’s election defeat at the time.

LONDON (AP) — The European Union has issued fines to a U.S. video game platform and five game makers after they blocked players from buying cheaper copies of the games in other countries. The EU’s executive Commission said Wednesday that it fined Valve and the game makers a total of 7.8 million euros because they restricted cross-border sales in violation of the bloc’s antitrust rules. It said the companies used so-called geo-blocking practices to prevent players from activating and playing games sold either on DVD or by download. Valve owns the Steam online PC game distribution platform.

TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares are mixed as hopes for more U.S. economic aid are countered by concerns over damage from the pandemic. Shares rose Monday in South Korea and Hong Kong, but fell in Australia and Shanghai. Markets were closed in Japan for a national holiday. Traders continue to be cheered by prospects the incoming administration of President-elect Joe Biden will pump more aid into the U.S. economy, a move that will help Asia and other export-driven nations. Hopes are high for rollouts of coronavirus vaccines. But the reports of new versions of the virus are setting off new worries.

ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Hawks sent a special gift to Pope Francis: an MLK jersey that was blessed by the pontiff on Martin Luther King Jr’s 92nd birthday. The gift followed Francis’ meeting in November with a delegation of NBA players to discuss social justice. The Hawks sent the pontiff their alternate jersey honoring Atlanta’s native son and civil rights icon. It will be worn by the team Monday for the annual game on the King national holiday. The team released a video that showed Francis opening a package that contained the No. 1 jersey, which had his name across the back.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Searchers used inflatable yellow rafts and drove metal poles into deep mud Thursday as they searched for a woman who was swept away by a mudslide in Oregon during a powerful winter storm. Authorities have found part of the SUV that 50-year-old Jennifer Camus Moore was driving when she was swept away Wednesday. But they have not located her. Moore, a registered nurse, was caught up in a landslide in the Columbia River Gorge that was triggered by heavy rain and high winds that pounded the Pacific Northwest on Tuesday and Wednesday. The cliffs around the search area remain unstable.

Class-action lawsuit: French police discriminate in checks

PARIS (AP) — Six nongovernmental organizations say they are opening the first-class action lawsuit against France for alleged systemic discrimination by police carrying out identity checks. The organizations, including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, contend that French police use racial profiling in checks, targeting people who are Black or of Arab descent. The NGOs aren’t demanding monetary damages, but instead are seeking deep reforms to ensure that racial profiling does not determine who gets stopped by police. Letters officially notifying France’s prime minister and interior and justice ministers were being delivered Wednesday. The organizations plan a news conference in Paris about the case.

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) — A court in El Salvador has found ex-president Tony Saca and his wife, Ana Ligia de Saca, guilty of illicit enrichment and ordered the two to repay the government $4.4 million. The court said Tuesday that aca could not explain the origin of $6.5 million in income he made while president. Saca will also be barred from holding public office for 10 years. Saca is already serving a 10-year prison sentence for corruption and has already been ordered to return some $260 million to the state.

WASHINGTON (AP) — It began as a day of reckoning for President Donald Trump’s futile attempt to cling to power, as Congress took up the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. It fractured into scenes of fear and agony that left a prime ritual of American democracy in tatters. A pro-Trump mob overran the U.S. Capitol, occupying one hallowed space of American democracy after another. A woman was shot and killed by police, and three others died in apparent medical emergencies. Authorities eventually regained control, as night fell. Heavily armed officers brought in as reinforcements started using tear gas to get people moving toward the door, pushing the mob farther away in clouds of tear gas, flash-bangs and percussion grenades.

The Latest: Italy ponders suing Pfizer for vaccine delays
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
ROME — Italy’s virus czar is pressing ahead with plans to take legal action against Pfizer after the U.S. pharmaceutical company announced delays in delivering pre-ordered COVID-19 vaccines to Europe.
Domenico Arcuri said he had secured unanimous backing from Italy’s regional governors to take civil or criminal action, where possible. In a statement late Tuesday, he said: “It was unanimously decided that such action will be taken in the coming days.”
Pfizer confirmed last week it would temporarily reduce deliveries to Europe and Canada while it upgrades production capacity to 2 billion doses per year at its Belgium plant. Arcuri said the delay would amount to a 29% reduction in upcoming deliveries to Italy.
In announcing the impending legal action, Arcuri said: “The health care of Italian citizens isn’t negotiable.”
As of Wednesday, Italy had administered more than 1.2 million vaccine shots, or 76% of the doses already delivered to Italian regions.
THE VIRUS OUTBREAK:
— Ontario’s leader asks Biden for 1 million vaccine shots due to Pfizer shortfall for Canada
— India to start delivering Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines to neighboring countries
— Expert panel says both China and the WHO should have acted faster to prevent the pandemic
— Surging infections give Spain’s new emergency hospital in Madrid a second chance to prove its worth

HERE’S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:
TORONTO — Canada won’t be getting any Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccines next week and 50% fewer than expected over the next month, officials said Tuesday, prompting the leader of Canada’s most populous province to ask U.S. President-elect Joe Biden to share a million doses from Pfizer’s Michigan plant.
Maj. Gen. Dany Fortin, who is leading Canada’s logistical rollout and distribution of vaccines, called it a major reduction, but said Pfizer is still expected to meet its contractual obligation to ship four million doses to Canada by the end of March.
U.S. pharmaceutical company Pfizer confirmed last week it would temporarily reduce deliveries to Europe and Canada of its COVID-19 vaccine while it upgrades production capacity at its plant in Puurs, Belgium. Pfizer’s Belgian plant supplies all shots delivered outside the U.S.
Doug Ford, the premier of Ontario, Canada’s most populous province, said he’s angry. He asked Biden to help Canada out, noting there’s a Pfizer plant in Michigan.
“Our American friends, help us out,” Ford said. “You have a new president, no more excuses. Help us out.”

ROME — The Vatican has begun offering COVID-19 vaccines to homeless people and says it plans to expand the program in coming days.
A preliminary group of 25 people who live in residences run by the pope’s chief alms-giver received the shots on Wednesday in the Vatican’s auditorium. They joined Pope Francis, emeritus Pope Benedict XVI and other Vatican employees and their families who began receiving the vaccines last week.
The Vatican, as a sovereign city state, arranged for its own vaccine deliveries and said its first jabs were the Pfizer-BioNTech shots. Italy has it’s own vaccine campaign under way but to date the national health care system is prioritizing health care workers and the elderly.
Francis has called for universal availability of the shots, especially for the poor and most vulnerable. He has also said it was ethically necessary to take the vaccine, expressing incredulousness at vaccine and virus skeptics, because “you’re playing not only with your health but the health of others.”
___
NEW DELHI — India began supplying coronavirus vaccines to its neighboring countries on Wednesday, as the world’s largest vaccine making nation strikes a balance between maintaining enough doses to inoculate its own people and helping developing countries without the capacity to produce their own shots.
India’s Foreign Ministry said the country would send 150,000 shots of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, manufactured locally by Serum Institute of India, to Bhutan and 100,000 shots to the Maldives on Wednesday.
Vaccines will also be sent to Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar and the Seychelles in coming weeks, the ministry said, without specifying an exact timeline. It added in a statement late Tuesday that regulatory clearances were still awaited from Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Mauritius.

WARSAW, Poland – Poland’s chief medical expert for fighting COVID-19 said Wednesday that the nation’s high rate of deaths from the infection is mostly the result of people aged over 70, with other serious diseases, succumbing to the coronavirus.
According to Professor Andrzej Horban, the current high number of deaths among the elderly is the result of infections caught during large gatherings during Christmas and New Year’s.
Wednesday’s data showed almost 7,000 new infections and 443 deaths. Some 15,000 people remain hospitalized due to COVID-19. A nation of some 38 million, Poland has so far registered almost 1.5 million cases and over 34,000 deaths.
___
COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Police in the Norwegian capital are doubling fines for violating coronavirus restrictions, saying not respecting the limit of 10 people for private gatherings can lead organizers being fined 20,000 kroner ($2,326) while participants will be fined 10,000 kroner ($1,163).
“This increase in fine rates underlines the seriousness of breaking the coronavirus rules. Everyone has a responsibility to take care of infection control,” said Oslo chief prosecutor Beate Brinch Sand.
Earlier this month, Oslo imposed COVID-19 tests for all people entering the Scandinavian country from abroad to stop the spread of the coronavirus variant detected first in Britain.
Norway also has a nationwide ban on serving alcohol in restaurants and bars to prevent a virus resurgence and it raised fines for those violations too.
___
HONOLULU — Hawaii’s leaders say limited supply is the main thing constraining distribution of the coronavirus vaccine in the state.
Hawaii received 59,000 doses of the vaccine last week, but expects to get only about 32,000 this week.
Still, Lt. Gov. Josh Green says the state expects to be able to vaccinate everyone in the top priority category by the end of February. That category includes health care workers, long-term care facility residents, people over 75, and teachers and other front-line essential workers.
The federal government is distributing vaccine to each state in accordance with their share of the U.S. population.
___
BEIJING — China’s capital has recorded seven new coronavirus cases amid a lingering outbreak of infections in the country’s north, where a total of 81 additional cases were reported in three provinces Wednesday.
China has now recorded a total of 88,557 cases since the new coronavirus was first detected in the central Chinese city of Wuhan in late 2019. It has reported 4,635 deaths related to COVID-19.
China is hoping to vaccinate 50 million people against the virus by the middle of next month. It is also releasing schools early and telling citizens to stay put during the Lunar New Year travel rush that begins in coming days.
Meanwhile, World Health Organization experts are undergoing quarantine in Wuhan ahead of beginning field visits seeking to shed light on the origins of the virus, which is thought to have jumped to humans from animals, possibly bats.
___
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Vaccine scarcity is continuing to plague California even as other indicators seem to show a slowing in the holiday-driven surge that led the state to be the first to top 3 million confirmed coronavirus infections.
San Francisco’s public health department is likely to run out of vaccine Thursday, in part because the state pulled back on administering a batch of Moderna vaccine.
Sacramento County is also running short.
Los Angeles County is starting to inoculate those 65 and older despite the scarcity.
But infection indicators are starting to show what the state’s top health official on Tuesday called “rays of hope.”
___
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — West Virginia’s speedy coronavirus vaccination drive is facing a roadblock, with state leaders saying they didn’t receive an expected increase in doses this week.
With 99.6% of first doses delivered already administered, officials are clamoring for the federal government to send more vaccine.
Noting that other states have doses unused, Gov. Jim Justice said Tuesday: “We’ve got them all in people’s arms and we’ve done exactly what we should have done. … I think performance ought to be rewarded.”
He says the state hasn’t received a promised 25,000 additional doses this week on top of its usual weekly allocation of about 23,000.
West Virginia officials say 7.4% of the state’s 1.78 million people have received at least one of two doses — the highest rate among the 50 states
___
OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma on Tuesday surpassed 3,000 total deaths due to COVID-19 and the U.S. death toll topped 400,000 since the coronavirus pandemic began.
The Oklahoma State Department of Health reported an increase of 43 deaths in Oklahoma for a total of 3,037. The department reported 358,374 total cases.
A tally by Johns Hopkins University reports that Oklahoma had the fourth highest number of new cases per capita in the nation with 1,269.19 per 100,000 residents during the past two weeks.
Deputy state health commissioner Keith Reed said Oklahoma has administered 243,807 vaccinations thus far.
The Oklahoma City Council on Tuesday voted to extend a mask mandate in the state’s most populous city to March 5. The Tulsa City Council last week extended that city’s mask mandate until April 30.
___
WASHINGTON — The U.S. death toll from the coronavirus has eclipsed 400,000 in the waning hours in office for President Donald Trump, whose handling of the crisis has been judged by public health experts to be a singular failure.
The running total of lives lost reported Tuesday by Johns Hopkins University is nearly equal to the number of Americans killed in World II. It is about the population of Tulsa, Oklahoma; Tampa, Florida; or New Orleans. It is equivalent to the sea of humanity that was at Woodstock in 1969.
It is just short of the estimated 409,000 Americans who died in 2019 of strokes, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, flu and pneumonia combined.
___
PORTLAND, Maine — Public health authorities in Maine said Tuesday that thousands of doses of coronavirus vaccine exceeded temperature requirements during their shipment to the state.
Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Nirav Shah said Tuesday the 4,400 doses of Moderna’s vaccine exceeded the required temperature during their journey to 35 sites in the state. He said the sites have set the vaccine doses aside and will receive replacement doses on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Shah said Operation Warp Speed and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are investigating how and why the error happened.
Maine has had more than 500 deaths from the virus since the start of the pandemic.
___
MADRID — Several Spanish regions are tightening restrictions against the steep increase of coronavirus infections, awaiting for a government decision to allow regional curfews as early as 8 p.m.
A meeting on Wednesday is expected to decide on whether to tweak a nationwide emergency state to allow regional governments a stricter response to the country’s third resurgence of contagion. Roughly half of the regions have asked to bring forward the existing limit on a 10 p.m. curfew.
The health ministry recorded Tuesday 34,291 new COVID-19 cases in the past 24 hours and 404 new confirmed deaths, bringing the totals since the pandemic began to 2.37 million cases and at least 54,000 deaths.
Central Castilla La Mancha, eastern Valencia and northern Navarra are announcing new closures of bars and restaurants or restrictions to allow only food deliveries or outdoor dining. The western Extremadura region, currently with the country’s highest rate of infection, is further delaying the reopening of schools for 2021 until Jan. 25.
___
JERUSALEM — Israel’s Cabinet on Tuesday extended an existing nationwide lockdown through the end of January as the country contends with a runaway surge in coronavirus cases.
Most schools and nonessential businesses were closed earlier this month for two weeks, with outdoor gatherings restricted to 10 people. Those restrictions were extended until Feb. 1, and people landing in Israel must now present a negative coronavirus test result from at least 72 hours before their arrival.
Although Israel has administered the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine to more than 2 million people, the country of 9 million has seen an infection surge. Israel’s health ministry has reported more than 562,000 COVID-19 confirmed cases and at least 4,049 deaths. The ministry recorded a record-high number of daily infections on Monday, with more than 10,000 new cases.
Israel’s health ministry also announced it is preparing to ramp up its vaccination efforts to 250,000 people per day, including people as young as 40.
___
LONDON — The U.K. has recorded more than 90,000 coronavirus-related deaths, just ten days after it passed the 80,000 threshold.
Government figures Tuesday show that another 1,610 people were reported to have died in the 28 days after testing positive for COVID-19, taking the total to 91,470. The daily increase is the highest daily figure reported since the pandemic took root in the U.K.
Figures released Tuesday have invariably been higher throughout the pandemic because of weekend reporting lag effects.
Though the number of people dying is rising on a 7-day average, the number of people testing positive for the virus is clearly declining in the wake of the lockdown measures put in place across the U.K.
On Tuesday, the government recorded another 33,355 people were reported to have tested positive for the virus. That’s the lowest since Dec. 27.
The U.K., which is Europe’s worst-hit nation in terms of COVID-related deaths, recorded huge increases in cases around the turn of the year, with scientists blaming a new variant of the virus first identified around London and the southeast of England.

It is also releasing schools early and telling citizens to stay put during the Lunar New Year travel rush that begins in coming days.\nMeanwhile, World Health Organization experts are undergoing quarantine in Wuhan ahead of beginning field visits seeking to shed light on the origins of the virus, which is thought to have jumped to humans from animals, possibly bats.\n___\nSACRAMENTO, Calif. — Vaccine scarcity is continuing to plague California even as other indicators seem to show a slowing in the holiday-driven surge that led the state to be the first to top 3 million confirmed coronavirus infections.\nSan Francisco’s public health department is likely to run out of vaccine Thursday, in part because the state pulled back on administering a batch of Moderna vaccine.\nSacramento County is also running short.\nLos Angeles County is starting to inoculate those 65 and older despite the scarcity.\nBut infection indicators are starting to show what the state’s top health official on Tuesday called “rays of hope.”\n___\nCHARLESTON, W.Va. — West Virginia’s speedy coronavirus vaccination drive is facing a roadblock, with state leaders saying they didn’t receive an expected increase in doses this week.\nWith 99.6% of first doses delivered already administered, officials are clamoring for the federal government to send more vaccine.\nNoting that other states have doses unused, Gov. Jim Justice said Tuesday: “We’ve got them all in people’s arms and we’ve done exactly what we should have done. … I think performance ought to be rewarded.”\nHe says the state hasn’t received a promised 25,000 additional doses this week on top of its usual weekly allocation of about 23,000.\nWest Virginia officials say 7.4% of the state’s 1.78 million people have received at least one of two doses — the highest rate among the 50 states\n___\nOKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma on Tuesday surpassed 3,000 total deaths due to COVID-19 and the U.S. death toll topped 400,000 since the coronavirus pandemic began.\nThe Oklahoma State Department of Health reported an increase of 43 deaths in Oklahoma for a total of 3,037. The department reported 358,374 total cases.\nA tally by Johns Hopkins University reports that Oklahoma had the fourth highest number of new cases per capita in the nation with 1,269.19 per 100,000 residents during the past two weeks.\nDeputy state health commissioner Keith Reed said Oklahoma has administered 243,807 vaccinations thus far.\nThe Oklahoma City Council on Tuesday voted to extend a mask mandate in the state’s most populous city to March 5. The Tulsa City Council last week extended that city’s mask mandate until April 30.\n___\nWASHINGTON — The U.S. death toll from the coronavirus has eclipsed 400,000 in the waning hours in office for President Donald Trump, whose handling of the crisis has been judged by public health experts to be a singular failure.\nThe running total of lives lost reported Tuesday by Johns Hopkins University is nearly equal to the number of Americans killed in World II. It is about the population of Tulsa, Oklahoma; Tampa, Florida; or New Orleans. It is equivalent to the sea of humanity that was at Woodstock in 1969.\nIt is just short of the estimated 409,000 Americans who died in 2019 of strokes, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, flu and pneumonia combined.\n___\nPORTLAND, Maine — Public health authorities in Maine said Tuesday that thousands of doses of coronavirus vaccine exceeded temperature requirements during their shipment to the state.\nMaine Center for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Nirav Shah said Tuesday the 4,400 doses of Moderna’s vaccine exceeded the required temperature during their journey to 35 sites in the state. He said the sites have set the vaccine doses aside and will receive replacement doses on Tuesday and Wednesday.\nShah said Operation Warp Speed and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are investigating how and why the error happened.\nMaine has had more than 500 deaths from the virus since the start of the pandemic.\n___\nMADRID — Several Spanish regions are tightening restrictions against the steep increase of coronavirus infections, awaiting for a government decision to allow regional curfews as early as 8 p.m.\nA meeting on Wednesday is expected to decide on whether to tweak a nationwide emergency state to allow regional governments a stricter response to the country’s third resurgence of contagion. Roughly half of the regions have asked to bring forward the existing limit on a 10 p.m. curfew.\nThe health ministry recorded Tuesday 34,291 new COVID-19 cases in the past 24 hours and 404 new confirmed deaths, bringing the totals since the pandemic began to 2.37 million cases and at least 54,000 deaths.\nCentral Castilla La Mancha, eastern Valencia and northern Navarra are announcing new closures of bars and restaurants or restrictions to allow only food deliveries or outdoor dining. The western Extremadura region, currently with the country’s highest rate of infection, is further delaying the reopening of schools for 2021 until Jan. 25.\n___\nJERUSALEM — Israel’s Cabinet on Tuesday extended an existing nationwide lockdown through the end of January as the country contends with a runaway surge in coronavirus cases.\nMost schools and nonessential businesses were closed earlier this month for two weeks, with outdoor gatherings restricted to 10 people. Those restrictions were extended until Feb. 1, and people landing in Israel must now present a negative coronavirus test result from at least 72 hours before their arrival.\nAlthough Israel has administered the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine to more than 2 million people, the country of 9 million has seen an infection surge. Israel’s health ministry has reported more than 562,000 COVID-19 confirmed cases and at least 4,049 deaths. The ministry recorded a record-high number of daily infections on Monday, with more than 10,000 new cases.\nIsrael’s health ministry also announced it is preparing to ramp up its vaccination efforts to 250,000 people per day, including people as young as 40.\n___\nLONDON — The U.K. has recorded more than 90,000 coronavirus-related deaths, just ten days after it passed the 80,000 threshold.\nGovernment figures Tuesday show that another 1,610 people were reported to have died in the 28 days after testing positive for COVID-19, taking the total to 91,470. The daily increase is the highest daily figure reported since the pandemic took root in the U.K.\nFigures released Tuesday have invariably been higher throughout the pandemic because of weekend reporting lag effects.\nThough the number of people dying is rising on a 7-day average, the number of people testing positive for the virus is clearly declining in the wake of the lockdown measures put in place across the U.K.\nOn Tuesday, the government recorded another 33,355 people were reported to have tested positive for the virus. That’s the lowest since Dec. 27.\nThe U.K., which is Europe’s worst-hit nation in terms of COVID-related deaths, recorded huge increases in cases around the turn of the year, with scientists blaming a new variant of the virus first identified around London and the southeast of England.",

UK judge to rule on US extradition bid for Julian Assange

LONDON (AP) — A British judge is set to decide whether WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange can be extradited to the United States to face espionage charges over the site’s publication of classified American military documents. District Judge Vanessa Baraitser is due to give her ruling Monday at London’s Central Criminal Court, following a three-week extradition hearing in the fall. U.S. prosecutors have indicted Assange on 17 espionage charges and one charge of computer misuse that carry a maximum sentence of 175 years in prison. U.S. prosecutors say Assange is an ordinary criminal, but his lawyers say he is a journalist and the prosecution is an attack on free speech and a violation of his human rights. Whichever side loses on Monday is likely to appeal.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Anyone visiting Tampa’s popular outdoor destinations for the Super Bowl will be required to wear a mask to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Tampa Mayor Jane Castor signed an executive order Wednesday saying masks must be worn outside while downtown, in neighborhoods around Raymond James Stadium — where the Super Bowl will be held — and in other tourist hotspots. The order says those who aren’t wearing a mask can be cited with a “nominal civil infraction” that carries a penalty up to a $500 fine. It will remain in place until Feb. 13 — nearly a week after the Super Bowl ends. There are a few exceptions, including children under 5.

QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistani officials say a roadside bomb has struck a paramilitary vehicle in southwestern Baluchistan province, wounding at least 11 troops. Wednesday’s attack on the Frontier Corps patrol took place in the district of Sibi. At least four of the wounded soldiers were listed in critical condition. That’s according to three officials who spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to talk to media on the record. Baluchistan is the scene of a long-running insurgency by Baluch secessionist groups which for decades have staged attacks to press their demands for independence.

MADRID (AP) — Public outrage is growing in Spain as cases of politicians and well-connected opportunists jumping the queue in the national coronavirus vaccination campaign come to light, even as delivery delays have forced some regions to stop new inoculations. Spain’s Defense Ministry has been the latest governmental department to launch an internal inquiry to find out if the military top brass dodged coronavirus vaccine protocols by receiving a jab before their turn. Pressure from the public has so far led to resignations or dismissals of several local mayors and councilors, as well as some hospital directors. The health ministry reported 42,885 new infections and 400 additional confirmed deaths on Friday, as several regions launch new restrictions aimed at curbing the contagion.

HONG KONG (AP) — Thousands of Hong Kong residents are locked down in an unprecedented move to contain a worsening outbreak in the city. Hong Kong has been grappling with a fresh wave of the coronavirus since November and over 4,300 cases in the last two months have made up nearly 40% of the city’s total. Infections in a working-class neighborhood with old buildings and subdivided flats represent about half of all cases in the past week. Sewage testing picked up traces of the virus, prompting concerns that poorly built plumbing systems and a lack of ventilation in subdivided units may be a possible path for the virus to spread. Several buildings have been locked down until all residents have been tested.

MIAMI (AP) — A Colombian businessman was carrying a letter from Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro accrediting him to Iran’s supreme leader when he was arrested on a U.S. warrant last year in the African nation of Cape Verde. The revelation was contained in a new filing in a politically charged corruption case in Miami that took place just hours after authorities in Cape Verde said they approved transferring Alex Saab to house arrest. Saab has been held since June on a U.S. arrest warrant. U.S. officials believe he holds secrets about how Maduro allegedly siphoned off millions of dollars in government contracts amid widespread hunger in the oil-rich nation.

PARIS (AP) — Some two dozen French police officials are facing internal punishment for holding a party inside a police station where they were filmed dancing the Macarena and violating multiple virus protection rules. A police spokesperson said that those involved in the party in the Paris suburb of Aubervilliers were ordered to file reports on their actions and that “sanctions are planned.” The video prompted criticism at a time when French police are out every night enforcing a 6 p.m.-6 a.m. virus curfew designed to slow new infections. French police are also under scrutiny for rights abuses during violent protests and identity checks.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine has imposed a broad lockdown aimed at containing surging coronavirus infections, but some cities appeared to be largely ignoring the restrictions and critics said the move was worrisomely tardy. The government made plans for the lockdown in December, when 12,000-14,000 new infections were being recorded daily in the country of 42 million. But the measures imposed Friday, which include closing schools, entertainment venues, gyms and restaurant table service, weren’t implemented until after the holiday period; predominantly Orthodox Ukraine observed Christmas on Thursday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — An Associated Press reporter covering Congress, Mary Clare Jalonick cannot stop watching the videos that captured the chaos she lived through last week in the U.S. Capitol. Those images, some captured by other news outlets, some on her on cellphone, have made her realize that the attacks where even worse than they were at the moment they happened. When the rioting began Jalonick still believed she was in “the safest place in Washington.” Then she heard them pounding on the House door.

Officials: Evidence of UK virus strain found in Florida man

MIAMI (AP) — Health officials say they’ve found evidence in a Florida man of the latest U.S. case of the new and apparently more contagious coronavirus strain first seen in England. The Florida Health Department tweeted a statement late Thursday that the new virus strain was detected in a man in his 20s with no recent travel history. It comes after recent reports of two confirmed cases elsewhere, in Colorado and California. The cases have triggered questions about how the COVID-19 strain circulating in England arrived in the U.S., where experts say it probably already is spreading. Florida officials say they’re investigating their case with the Atlanta-based U.S. Centers for Disease Control.

CHICAGO (AP) — A growing number of Democrats are calling for the resignation of U.S. Rep. Mary Miller of Illinois, a newly sworn-in Republican who quoted Adolf Hitler at a rally outside the U.S. Capitol this week. U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth and U.S. Reps. Jan Schakowsky and Marie Newman, all Illinois Democrats, on Thursday called for Miller to immediately step down. State legislators are circulating a petition urging her resignation. Miller’s spokeswoman hasn’t returned calls seeking comment, but the group that hosted the event where Miller spoke says the comments were taken out of context and that Miller is owed an apology.

Why Georgia's Senate races are too early to call
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
Two Senate runoff elections in Georgia that will determine which party controls the legislative chamber for the next two years remained too close to call because too many ballots remained to be counted. Republican David Perdue is facing Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff as he seeks a second term. Meanwhile, appointed GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler is running against Democrat Raphael Warnock to complete the remainder of retired Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson’s term. Nearly three hours after polls closed, the candidates in each contest were neck and neck in the counted vote. Much of vote favoring Democrats came from ballots cast before Election Day, while Republicans were performing well with ballots cast the day of the election.

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — The United Nations says a peacekeeper from Egypt was killed in Mali’s northern Kidal region on Friday, and another was seriously injured, after their vehicle hit an explosive device during a logistics convoy. It brought the toll to five U.N. peacekeepers killed in northern Mali in just a week. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says attacks against peacekeepers may constitute war crimes. The peacekeeping mission has been in Mali since 2013 as the threat from Islamic extremists grows. The U.N. says more than 231 peacekeepers in Mali have been killed due to hostile incidents in what has become known as its most dangerous mission.

Protesters who back President Donald Trump have massed at statehouses from Georgia to New Mexico.

Hundreds of people gathered in state capitals across the country to oppose President-elect Joe Biden’s win, waving signs saying “Stop the Steal.” New Mexico evacuated staff from a Statehouse building as a precaution shortly after hundreds of flag-waving Trump supporters arrived in a vehicle caravan and on horseback.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) — The U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Alabama says it will restore the world’s only full-sized mockup of the space shuttle along with its external fuel tank and twin rocket boosters. The project announced Tuesday will restore a display that’s been weathering outside the state-run museum in Huntsville for more than 30 years. The work is being funded with a $500,000 federal grant along with corporate donations. The shuttle test model called Pathfinder was mated with a huge fuel tank and two prototype solid-rocket boosters and has been displayed outside the museum since 1988. The restoration project will take several years to complete.

NEW YORK (AP) — Thousands of minority-owned small businesses were at the end of the line in the government’s coronavirus relief program as many struggled to find banks to accept their applications. Or, they were disadvantaged by the program’s terms. Data from the Paycheck Protection Program analyzed by The Associated Press show many minority owners desperate for a loan didn’t receive one until the PPP’s last weeks. Meanwhile, many more companies owned by whites were able to get loans. The program helped many businesses survive the first months of the virus outbreak. But it struggled to meet its promise of aiding communities that historically haven’t gotten needed help.

ISTANBUL (AP) — Three Turkish sailors who were on board a cargo ship attacked by pirates off the West African coast have returned home. Fifteen kidnapped sailors remain missing and one Azerbaijani crew member was killed during the attack. The Liberian-flagged M/V Mozart was sailing from Lagos Nigeria, to Cape Town in South Africa when it was attacked on Jan. 23, some 100 nautical miles (185 kilometers) northwest of the island nation of Sao Tome and Principe. Fourth captain Furkan Yaren told state-run Anadolu news agency he hoped the kidnapped sailors would rejoin their families soon. He said he was wounded from a fall while trying to avoid capture. The pirates left him behind along with two other wounded sailors.

More than 100 players will suit up for Sunday’s NFC championship game. So try to ignore all those talking heads making mention of only two: Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. Yes it’s as juicy a matchup of quarterbacks as the current NFL can offer. The Battle of the Bays might well be decided by what Mr. Six Rings does against the Packers’ defense or what the 2020 All-Pro QB Rodgers manages versus the Buccaneers’ D. The Bucs routed the Packers 38-10 in October.

The Latest: Pakistan approves Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
ISLAMABAD — Pakistan’s planning minister says the country’s drug regulatory authority has approved the use of Oxford-AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine and the government is trying to make it available by the first quarter of the year.
Asad Umar, who is also the head of the national agency for COVID-19, told Geo TV that the vaccine in the first phase will be administered to health workers and those aged 65 and above.
Umar said the Chinese company CanSino is also holding clinical trials in Pakistan and hoped its vaccine would also be registered next month.
He said Pakistan will get the vaccines through the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization, or GAVI, and other alternative international sources. The AstraZeneca vaccine is being prepared in India, which has strained relations with rival Pakistan and says it will prioritize its own population.
Pakistan reported 2,521 new cases and 43 deaths in the last 24 hours.

THE VIRUS OUTBREAK:
— India starts world’s largest COVID-19 vaccination drive
— Chinese city reports coronavirus found on ice cream
— Restaurants, bars scramble for propane amid pandemic winter
— China has finished building a 1,500-room hospital for COVID-19 patients to fight a surge in infections the government said are harder to contain and that it blamed on infected people or goods from abroad.
— Brazil hasn’t approved a single vaccine yet, and independent health experts who participated in its immunization program say the plan is still incomplete, at best.
— A new U.N. report estimates that the COVID-19 pandemic reduced the number of international migrants by 2 million by the middle of 2020 because of border closings and a halt to travel worldwide.

HERE’S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:
BEIJING — China on Sunday reported 109 new confirmed COVID-19 cases, two-thirds of them in a northern province that abuts Beijing, and no deaths.
There were 72 new cases in Hebei province, where the government is building isolation hospitals with a total of 9,500 rooms to combat an upsurge in infections, according to the National Health Commission.
China had largely contained the virus that first was detected in the central city of Wuhan in late 2019 but has reported hundreds of new infections since December. The Health Commission on Saturday blamed them on travelers and imported goods it said brought the virus from abroad.
China’s death toll stands at 4,653 out of 88,227 total cases.

KENNESAW, Ga. (AP) — Friends and relatives say a Georgia woman killed in Wednesday’s siege of the U.S. Capitol was a recovering drug addict who wanted to become a sobriety counselor. But she also believed, wrongly, that President Donald Trump won the November election, and she’d begun following a dark conspiracy theory that has circulated online. Thirty-four-year-old Rosanne Boyland, of Kennesaw, was one of three people who died of medical emergencies during a siege Wednesday by Trump loyalists that came as Congress was certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. A fourth person was fatally shot by police and an officer was also killed.

WASHINGTON (AP) — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is telling President Joe Biden that he’s eager to forge a new U.S.-U.K. trade deal. The prime minister’s office says the push for a new deal came Saturday in a broad-ranging phone call that touched on the global response to the coronavirus pandemic. Two other points of discussion were Biden’s plans to rejoin the Paris climate accord and the World Health Organization. A new trade agreement between the allies is a higher priority for Johnson than it is for Biden. A White House statement on the call made no mention of discussion on trade.

BERLIN (AP) — The United Nations’ atomic watchdog agency says Iran has informed it that the country has begun installing equipment for the production of uranium metal, which would be another violation of the landmark nuclear deal with world powers. Iran maintains its plans to conduct research and development on uranium metal production are part of its “declared aim to design an improved type of fuel,” the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency said Thursday. Uranium metal can also be used for a nuclear bomb, however, and research on its production is specifically prohibited in the so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action signed with world powers in 2015.

Horn-honking cars paraded through the streets of Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and a dozen or more other cities as other protesters marched on foot, some calling, “Get out Bolsonaro!” Sunday’s protests were called by conservative groups that had once backed the president, while those on Saturday had come from the left.

TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares are mostly higher as bullish sentiments stuck to global markets despite continuing signs of economic damage from the pandemic and a new version of the virus was reported in Japan. Shares are trading higher Monday in South Korea and China, while edging down in Australia. Trading was closed in Japan for a national holiday. Traders continue to be cheered by prospects the incoming administration of President-elect Joe Biden will pump more aid into the U.S. economy, a move that will help Asia and other export-driven nations. Wall Street finished last week with record highs for most major indexes.

NEW YORK (AP) — Add Garth Brooks to the lineup of entertainers at the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden. Brooks joins Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez among others and performed during the inaugural celebration of President Barack Obama in 2009. He turned down a chance to play for President Donald Trump in 2017, citing a scheduling conflict. Invited by incoming first lady Jill Biden, Brooks has known the Bidens for more than a decade, when Joe Biden was Obama’s vice president. He said that for this week’s inaugural, he would perform solo doing “broken down, bare-bones stuff.”

Oklahoma lawmaker proposes 'Bigfoot' hunting season

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A mythical, ape-like creature that has captured the imagination of adventurers for decades has now become the target of a state lawmaker in Oklahoma. A Republican House member has introduced a bill that would create a Bigfoot hunting season. Rep. Justin Humphrey’s district includes the heavily forested Ouachita Mountains, where a Bigfoot festival is held each year near the Arkansas border. He says issuing a state hunting license and tag could help boost tourism. A spokesman for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, which oversees hunting in Oklahoma, says the agency uses science-driven research and doesn’t recognize Bigfoot.

EL MONTE, Calif. (AP) — The FBI and local police are investigating an explosion at a Los Angeles-area church that had been the target of protests for its anti-LGTBQ message. Police say officers responding around 4:30 a.m. Saturday initially thought vandals had broken the windows of First Works Baptist Church in El Monte. Officers then noticed smoke coming from inside and realized they had been blown out by a blast. No injuries are reported. Protestors have repeatedly targeted the church headed by Pastor Bruce Mejia, who has condemned same-sex relationships. A statement on the church website calls homosexuality “an abomination.” Calls to the church went unanswered Saturday.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds and four top Iowa officials cooperated in making a marketing video for a company that has received no-bid contracts during the state’s coronavirus response. The arrangement between the state and Utah-based Domo Inc. has raised allegations of favoritism and improper use of public resources. Domo features interviews with Reynolds, state medical director Caitlin Pedati, chief operations officer Paul Trombino and two others in the video. The officials paint their management of COVID-19 as a success story for Iowa and the company. Reynolds spokesman Pat Garrett says Domo “wanted a testimonial on the success” of the Test Iowa program and the governor and others agreed to participate.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Lottery players are getting another shot at the third-largest jackpot in U.S. history. The Mega Millions top prize has hit an estimated $850 million, making Tuesday night’s drawing the biggest in more than two years. Powerball, the other lottery game offered in most of the U.S., isn’t far behind at $730 million for a drawing Wednesday night. It’s the first time both lottery jackpots have topped $700 million. No one has won the Mega Millions jackpot since Sept. 15. The last Powerball jackpot winner was a day later, on Sept. 16. Mega Millions and Powerball are both played in 45 states as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Powerball also is offered in Puerto Rico.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court has cleared the way for the Justice Department to carry out the first execution of a female death-row inmate in almost seven decades. The rulings, handed down just after midnight on Wednesday, allow the federal Bureau of Prisons to proceed with the execution of Lisa Montgomery. The court lifted an injunction that had been put in place by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that had temporarily halted Montgomery’s execution. It came hours after the Supreme Court also lifted a separate injunction by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Montgomery is scheduled to be put to death at the federal prison complex in Terre Haute, Indiana.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — A federal appeals court has upheld a life prison sentence for an influential Iowa youth basketball coach who used his position to sexually exploit more than 400 boys over 20 years. A panel of the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Gregory Stephen’s argument that his 180-year sentence was excessive because he did not kill or physically injure his victims. The panel agreed with U.S. District Judge C.J. Williams “that the harm to the children was ‘incalculable and profound’ and radiated to their families.” Stephen amassed a digital collection of thousands of sexual images of his players and their friends. He also molested some boys during trips to basketball tournaments and professional games.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The Dutch government has come under heavy criticism from lawmakers over a COVID-19 vaccination plan that has the first shots scheduled to be administered on Wednesday. The start date makes the Netherlands the last European Union nation to begin giving vaccinations against the coronavirus. Prime Minister Mark Rutte conceded that his government focused in its preparations on the AstraZeneca vaccine, which hasn’t yet been cleared for use in the EU The leader of the largest Dutch opposition party called the Dutch strategy “total chaos” Tuesday. The Dutch health minister has acknowledged that the government didn’t move quickly enough to deliver vaccines to a nation that has seen more than 11,000 virus-related deaths.

TOKYO (AP) — Former IOC vice president Dick Pound says the Tokyo Olympics can go ahead without fans. Pound says: “The question is — is this a ‘must-have’ or ‘nice-to-have.’ It’s nice to have spectators. But it’s not a must-have,” In the interview with Japan’s Kyodo news agency Pound also said there’s a ”very, very good chance” the Olympics will open on July 23. This comes as recent polls in Japan show 80% of the public believe the Olympics should not happen with virus cases surging — or will not happen. It’s critical for the Switzerland-based International Olympic Committee to get the event on television — with or without fans.

EAU CLAIRE (WQOW)- Wednesday marks International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and a group of UW-Eau Claire students and staff are remembering those lost, through research that helped uncover a victim's story.
A documentary was recently completed in partnership with other universities showcasing several students and staff who traveled to Lithuania in 2017 in search of the grave of Matilda Olkin, a Jewish Lithuanian poet who died during the Holocaust. One professor who led the trip says it was important to take students to the site not only to immerse them in the culture and research but help others remember lost victims and prevent further tragedy.
"If you could imagine every small town in Wisconsin having a mass execution and a mass burial site, that is what it's like in Lithuania," said Dr. Harry Jol, a geography and anthropology professor at UW-Eau Claire. "We don't think about that, and we want to try to prevent some of that as anti-Semitism increases in this country and around the world."
The students located Olkin's resting place using geographical research and equipment, and memorialized it for locals to honor her.
Dr. Jol and others who worked on the film are hosting a virtual discussion panel Wednesday night starting at 6 pm, and you can find a link to register here.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. counterterrorism chief is urging countries to repatriate the 27,000 children stranded in a massive camp in northeastern Syria. Many of them are sons and daughters of Islamic State extremists who once controlled large swathes of Iraq and Syria. Vladimir Voronkov told an informal Security Council meeting on Friday that the horrific situation of the children in Al Hol camp is one of the most pressing issues in the world today. He says the children remain stranded, abandoned to their fate, vulnerable to be preyed on by Islamic State enforcers, and at risk of radicalization within the camp.

KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — The suspect in custody in a fatal double stabbing in Kenosha is being held on tentative charges of first-degree intentional homicide, strangulation and child abuse.

KENOVA, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia has emerged as an unlikely success in the nation’s otherwise chaotic coronavirus vaccine rollout. It’s largely a result of the state’s decision to enlist mom-and-pop pharmacies to give the shots, rather than agreeing to a federal partnership with CVS and Walgreens. Now more shots have gone into people’s arms per capita across West Virginia than in any other state. Federal data shows that at least 7.5% of the population has received the first of two shots. Republican Gov. Jim Justice is trumpeting the vaccine effort, saying it runs counter to preconceived notions about the state being backward.
