California bypasses tough nurse care rules amid virus surge
| null | null |

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Facing a massive surge in coronavirus cases, California has been issuing waivers allowing hospitals to temporarily bypass the nation’s only strict nurse-to-patient ratios. Nurses say that being forced to take on more patients is pushing them to the brink of burnout and affecting patient care. At least 250 of about 400 hospitals in California have been granted 60-day waivers. They allow ICU nurses to care for three instead of two people and emergency room nurses to oversee six patients instead of three. Nurses in other states have demanded law-mandated ratios like those in California but so far have failed to get them.

Wuhan returns to normal as world still battling pandemic

WUHAN, China (AP) — A year ago, a notice sent to smartphones in Wuhan at 2 a.m. announced the world’s first coronavirus lockdown that would last 76 days. Life has largely returned to normal in the central Chinese city of 11 million where the virus was first detected, even as the rest of the world grapples with the spread of its more contagious variants. Efforts to vaccinate people are frustrated by disarray and limited supplies in some places. In Wuhan, traffic is light but there’s no sign of the barriers that a year ago isolated neighborhoods and confined people to their housing compounds and even apartments. After months of negotiations, China finally gave permission last week for the WHO to begin investigating the virus’ origins.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gun dealers say the spike in demand for guns and ammunition driven by the coronavirus pandemic has not subsided in Wisconsin.
Dealers say they are still having trouble keeping their stores stocked 10 months after the first COVID-19 cases started showing up in the state.
At Superior Shooters Supply in Superior, Pat Kukull says panic buying has forced her to ration bullets to one box per person.
Kukull says she’s had trouble obtaining pepper spray and air rifles. Kukull says demand has been solid every day.

2 convicted of defamation in blow to China's #MeToo movement

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — In a potential blow to the #MeToo movement in China, two former journalists have been convicted of defaming a third Chinese journalist by publishing an account accusing him of sexual misconduct. A court says the evidence provided by the two against Deng Fei was not enough to be convincing. The court ordered the two to pay $1,800 in damages. The defendants say the decision could discourage others from coming forward with reports of sexual misconduct. The global #MeToo movement has had difficulty gaining traction in China. Since 2018, at least six men have sued either their accusers or the people who helped publicize the accusations of defamation.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Extreme cold and snow have hit much of Europe, with freezing temperatures cracking railroad tracks in Poland and snow blanketing most of the Turkish city of Istanbul. Temperatures dropped to minus 28 degrees Celsius (minus 18 Fahrenheit) in some areas of Poland overnight, the coldest night in 11 years. Many trains were delayed Monday after rail tracks at two Warsaw railway stations cracked. Warsaw authorities also urged people to stay indoors, as smog spiked from the burning of coal for heating. In Istanbul, traffic was brought to a halt by the layer of snow covering the city. The flurries were forecast to continue throughout the day.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A marijuana industry activist who was temporarily living in Minnesota has been charged with threatening a member of Congress. Federal prosecutors say 32-year-old Jason Robert Karimi is charged with one count of interstate communication of a threat. According to the charges, Karimi called a U.S. representative, who is not named in court documents, and left a voicemail, saying he wanted the person to be as “scared as possible” and that “we’re coming for ya.” The voicemail threatened violence. Authorities traced the number to Karimi, who told an FBI agent that he intended only “political pain.” The call was made five days after the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Voter voices: Georgians weigh in on crucial Senate runoffs

ATLANTA (AP) — Some of the Georgia voters casting ballots in a crucial U.S. Senate runoff say they’re ready for the election to be over and weeks of attack ads to end. Thirty-seven-year-old Kari Callaghan of Atlanta used to always vote for Republicans but she says she cast her ballot for Democrats on Tuesday. She says that’s because she believes the GOP has opted for cronyism over conservative values. Fifty-six-year-old Will James of Fulton County said he didn’t like that David Perdue and Sen. Kelly Loeffler were backing President Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn November’s presidential election. But he says it didn’t affect his vote. He says he’s backing Republicans because he doesn’t want Democrats to have full control of the government.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s Supreme Court has ordered the release of a Pakistani man convicted and later acquitted in the gruesome beheading of American journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002. The court also dismissed an appeal of Ahmad Saeed Omar Sheikh’s acquittal by Pearl’s family. Sheikh has been on death row since his conviction in the death of Pearl in 2002. Attorney Mehmood A. Sheikh, no relation, said the court ordered three other Pakistanis, who had been sentenced to life in prison for their part in Pearl’s kidnapping and death, also freed.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A humanitarian organization says some 10 million children in war-ravaged Afghanistan are at risk of not having enough food to eat in 2021, and is calling for billions in new funds for aid. Just over 18 million Afghans, including 9.7 million children, are badly in need of lifesaving support, including food. That’s according to London-based Save the Children. The group is calling for $3 billion in donations to pay for assistance in 2021. Chris Nyamandi, Afghanistan country director for Save the Children, says Afghans are suffering under a combination of violent conflict, poverty and the virus pandemic.

Warnock makes history with Senate win as Dems near majority

ATLANTA (AP) — Democrat Raphael Warnock has won one of Georgia’s two Senate runoffs, becoming the first Black senator in his state’s history and putting the Senate majority within the party’s reach. Warnock, a pastor who spent the past 15 years leading the Atlanta church where Martin Luther King Jr. preached, defeated Republican incumbent Kelly Loeffler. It’s a stinging rebuke of outgoing President Donald Trump, who traveled to Georgia to rally for Loeffler and the Republican running for the other seat, David Perdue. The focus now shifts to the second race between Perdue and Democrat Jon Ossoff. That contest was too early to call as votes were still being counted.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House lawmakers may have been exposed to someone testing positive for COVID-19 while they sheltered at an undisclosed location during the Capitol siege on Wednesday. Lawmakers were taken to that location as a violent mob loyal to President Donald Trump ransacked the Capitol. The Capitol’s attending physician notified all lawmakers Sunday of the potential virus exposure. Dr. Brian Moynihan urged them to be tested. The infected individual wasn’t named. Some lawmakers and staff were furious after video surfaced of Republican lawmakers not wearing their masks in the room during lockdown.

NEW YORK (AP) — One of the world’s top festivals of contemporary opera and theater has shifted format because of the novel coronavirus pandemic. The ninth annual Prototype festivals opens with the world premiere of “Modulation,” a self-guided digital work for distanced times by 13 composers exploring isolation, identity, and fear. Two other world premieres will be presented through Jan. 16, including “Times3″ a digital work by composer Pamela Z and theater artist Geoff Sobelle shown on a video board in New York’s Times Square, and “Ocean Body,” a multi-screen and music installation for in-person audiences of eight at a time.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania lawmakers are starting their new two-year legislative term with a bitter dispute in the Senate that prevented the seating of a Democratic member. Both chambers swore in their newly elected members on Tuesday. Republicans hold large majorities in both chambers. Democrats in the Senate began protesting and in some cases shouting after the Republican majority refused to seat Sen. Jim Brewster of Allegheny County. His election was certified by the state but is being contested by Republican challenger Nicole Ziccarelli. The House elected Lancaster County Republican Rep. Bryan Cutler as speaker. The Senate made Centre County Republican Sen. Jake Corman its presiding officer, the president pro tempore.

BEIRUT (AP) — Lebanese officials are vowing to take strict measures amid calls for an immediate nationwide lockdown in the wake of a surge in coronavirus infections following the holiday season. The surge has caused concerns in the already struggling health sector in the small nation of nearly 6 million people, including refugees. Lebanon’s caretaker government was meeting on Monday to consider new measures. Caretaker Premier Hassan Diab said the country is facing a critical stage and strict measures are needed. Infections have hovered around 3,000 a day in the past week, nearly doubling from previous weeks. Hospitals report near-full occupancy in beds and ICUs and nurses say they are overwhelmed.

Two U.S. Senate runoff elections that together will determine which party controls the legislative chamber for the next two years have been held in Georgia, and a Democrat has won one of them. The Associated Press declared Democrat Raphael Warnock the winner of one of the races over appointed Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler, a contest that will send him to Washington to finish the remainder of retired GOP Sen. Johnny Isakson’s term. The other race between Republican David Perdue, who is seeking a second term, and Democrat Jon Ossoff remained too early to call. Warnock defeated Loeffler after an analysis of outstanding votes showed there was no way for Loeffler to catch up to his lead.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesian officials say a team from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board has arrived in Indonesia’s capital to join the investigation into the crash of a Sriwijaya Air Boeing 737-500. The team also comprises representatives from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, Boeing and General Electric. They joined personnel from Singapore’s Transportation Safety Investigation Bureau at the search and rescue command center at Tanjung Priok port in Jakarta to see some of the plane debris. The plane lost contact with air traffic controllers minutes after taking off from Jakarta during heavy rain on Jan. 9. The jet crashed into the Java Sea, killing all 62 people on board.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden attended Mass for the first time since taking office, worshipping Sunday at the church he frequented when he was vice president. Biden is the nation’s second Catholic president, and he picked Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Washington’s Georgetown neighborhood, a few miles from the White House. It’s where the nation’s only other Catholic president, John F. Kennedy, often went to Mass. White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Friday that Biden hadn’t yet settled on a home church in the nation’s capital. She said she expected Biden will continue to regularly attend services during his presidency.

FREDERICK, Md. (AP) — Natalie Abbas and Jim Carpenter are local ambassadors for a program to bridge the nation’s political divide. The gulf between them is wide. Carpenter cheers President Joe Biden as the rightful winner. Abbas is convinced that the election was stolen. Together, they ponder the greatest challenge facing American society: how can they find common ground if they no longer exist in the same reality? They don’t agree on facts. They use the same words _ truth, proof, patriotism _ but they don’t mean the same thing. They have become friends. They wonder: could that be enough?

Dangerous Liaison: New Zealand virus quarantine flaw exposed

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — New Zealand authorities say a woman returning to New Zealand who was placed in a 14-day mandatory hotel quarantine and a man working there were found in an inappropriate encounter. The incident earlier this month has highlighted a very human weak point in New Zealand’s virus elimination system. Authorities say the pair’s behavior was totally unacceptable and an investigation is underway to determine whether additional security measures are required. Brigadier Jim Bliss, the head of managed isolation and quarantine, says the worker was immediately sent home and told to self-isolate. He was later fired. The returning traveler, meanwhile, was given a formal written warning by the police. Authorities breathed a sigh of relief after both returned negative coronavirus tests.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A man who led a panel that reviewed a high-profile murder case where a Minneapolis man was freed from prison is one of 16 people named to the advisory board of Minnesota’s first conviction review unit. St. Thomas law professor Mark Osler served as chairman of the group of experts from around the country who examined the conviction and sentence of Myon Burrell. They recommended that his life sentence be commuted. Burrell was convicted in the killing of a little girl hit by a stray bullet in 2002 and served 18 years before he was released. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says other leading experts on the advisory board include former Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Paul Anderson and former Minneapolis NAACP President Leslie Redmond.

Sudan imposes curfew in West Darfur amid deadly clashes
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
CAIRO (AP) — Sudanese authorities have imposed a round-the-clock curfew across the entire West Darfur province. Saturday’s open-ended curfew comes because of tribal clashes between Arabs and non-Arabs. The violence has killed at least six people and wounded at least 28 others. A local doctor says the death toll is likely much higher. The violence comes two weeks after the U.N. Security Council ended the mandate for the joint U.N.-African Union peacekeeping force in the Darfur region. The mandate was allowed to expire following pressure from Sudan’s transitional government, Russia and other African nations. The Darfur region remains scarred by war, after a rebellion in the early 2000s was brutally suppressed.

"CAIRO (AP) — Sudanese authorities have imposed a round-the-clock curfew across the entire West Darfur province. Saturday’s open-ended curfew comes because of tribal clashes between Arabs and non-Arabs. The violence has killed at least six people and wounded at least 28 others. A local doctor says the death toll is likely much higher. The violence comes two weeks after the U.N. Security Council ended the mandate for the joint U.N.-African Union peacekeeping force in the Darfur region. The mandate was allowed to expire following pressure from Sudan’s transitional government, Russia and other African nations. The Darfur region remains scarred by war, after a rebellion in the early 2000s was brutally suppressed.",

The Latest: Hawley defends rationale for contesting election
| null | null |

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the new session of Congress (all times local):
11:15 a.m.
Republican Sen. Josh Hawley is hitting back at GOP colleagues who are criticizing his attempt to overturn the presidential election won by Joe Biden.
In a lengthy email, the Missouri Republican defended his rationale for challenging President Donald Trump’s defeat. He and other Republicans are planning to mount objections to the results when Congress convenes for a joint session Wednesday to confirm the Electoral College tally.
Hawley specifically defended himself against criticism from GOP Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania as he challenges that state’s election results.
Hawley, a Trump ally and potential 2024 presidential candidate, insisted that constituents back home have been “loud and clear” that they believe Biden’s win over Trump was unfair.
“It is my responsibility as a senator to raise their concerns,” Hawley wrote late Saturday.

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE NEW CONGRESS
Read more:
— More GOP lawmakers enlist in Trump effort to undo Biden win
— EXPLAINER: As Georgia awaits, Republicans still have Senate control
— Biden flexes Georgia muscle alongside GOP in Senate races
— Memorial held for congressman-elect who contracted COVID-19
— Senate race thrusts ‘Black America’s church’ into spotlight
___
WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON:
10:30 a.m.
Sen. Ron Johnson is insisting that the extraordinary effort by congressional Republicans to challenge Joe Biden’s presidential victory is not intended to thwart the democratic process but “to protect it.”
In an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press,” the Wisconsin senator pointed to an “unsustainable state of affairs” where he claimed that many people in the country don’t accept the election as legitimate. He contends that more transparency is needed to “restore confidence” in results that states and the Electoral College have certified.
A group of 11 senators led by Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas say they will reject the Electoral College results during a joint session Wednesday unless a commission is appointed to conduct a 10-day audit of the vote. They are zeroing in on the states where President Donald Trump has raised founded claims of voter fraud.
Johnson isn’t offering new evidence of voting problems. And he does acknowledge that Trump’s former attorney general, William Barr, found no evidence of widespread election fraud. Multiple lawsuits filed by Trump’s legal team have been repeatedly dismissed, by the Supreme Court and by Trump-appointed judges who have ruled the suits lacked evidence.
When Johnson insisted that “tens of millions of people” believe the presidential election was “stolen,” NBC’s Chuck Todd suggested that Johnson “look in the mirror” as to why that is. Todd cut off Johnson’s unsubstantiated assertions.
Todd told Johnson: “You don’t get to make these allegations that haven’t been proven true.”
___
8 a.m.
The start of the new congressional session on Sunday comes during a tumultuous period in U.S. history.
A growing number of Republicans are working to overturn Joe Biden’s victory over President Donald Trump, and a surge of coronavirus infections is imposing limits at the Capitol.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi is set to be reelected as House speaker by fellow Democrats, who retain the House majority but with the slimmest margin in 20 years.
Opening the Senate could be among Mitch McConnell’s final acts as majority leader. Republican control depends on Tuesday’s runoff elections for two Senate seats in Georgia.
It’s often said that divided government can be a time for legislative compromises, but lawmakers are charging into the 117th Congress with the nation more torn than ever, disputing even basic facts including that Biden won the presidential election.

MAMUJU, Indonesia (AP) — Relief workers worked to clear up rubble of collapsed buildings on an Indonesian island where a deadly earthquake left thousands of people homeless. The 6.2 magnitude earthquake that killed at least 84 people was one of multiple recent disasters in Indonesia. President Joko Widodo, who visited a flood-hit area on Borneo island on Monday, is visiting the quake-hit areas of West Sulawesi province Tuesday to reassure people the government’s response is reaching those struggling after the quake. Four days after the disaster, the streets of the provincial capital were covered in debris and most people have slept outdoors, fearful their homes would crumble if strong aftershocks come.

Pence defies Trump, says he can't reject electoral votes

WASHINGTON (AP) — Defying President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence says he doesn't have the power to discard electoral votes that will make Democrat Joe Biden the next president on Jan. 20.
That's what Pence says in a statement issued minutes before he was to begin presiding over a joint session of Congress to count those votes.
Pence says it is "my considered judgement that my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not.”
In the days before the joint session, Trump has pressured his vice president to toss electors from battleground states that voted for Biden.

NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge has ordered a hearing to decide whether to civilly commit the man charged with stabbing five people with a machete at a suburban New York Hanukkah celebration in 2019. A recent psychiatric evaluation found Grafton Thomas remains unfit to stand trial after months of hospitalization at a federal facility in Missouri, where he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. U.S. District Judge Cathy Seibel ruled last week that an evidentiary hearing is needed to determine whether additional hospitalization would likely restore Thomas’ mental fitness. His attorneys asked Seibel to dismiss the federal charges and civilly commit him.

WASHINGTON (AP) — American factories grew in December at the fastest pace in more than two years as manufacturing continued to fare better during the pandemic than the battered services sector. The Institute for Supply Management reported Tuesday that its gauge of manufacturing activity rose to 60.7% last month, the highest reading since it stood at 60.8 in August 2018. The activity gauge was up 3.2 percentage points from a November level of 57.5. Any reading above 50 indicates expansion in the manufacturing sector. The U.S. economy collapsed from April through June but since that time manufacturing has posted solid gains.

BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — Witnesses say at least 20 people have been killed in central Mali in an airstrike that hit a group of civilians taking part in a wedding celebration. A man wounded in the strike told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Islamic extremists also had been in the area at the time of the attack on Sunday. He said the jihadists had confronted the wedding party and told the men to separate from the women just before the airstrike. There was no immediate comment from the French military, which carries out operations in central Mali against extremists.

The Latest: India vaccine developer warns some to avoid shot
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
India’s homegrown vaccine developer Bharat Biotech has warned people with weaker immunity and other medical conditions that include allergies, fever, or a bleeding disorder to consult a doctor before getting the shot — and if possible avoid the vaccine.
The vaccine by Bharat Biotech ran into controversy after the Indian government allowed its use without concrete data that showed it was effective in preventing illness from COVID-19. Tens of thousands of people have been given the shot in the past three days after India started inoculating its health care workers last weekend in what is likely the world’s largest COVID-19 vaccination campaign.
The company Tuesday said those receiving jabs should disclose their medical conditions, medicines they are taking and any history of allergies. It said symptoms of a severe allergic reaction in vaccine recipients may include difficulty in breathing, swelling of the face and throat, rapid heartbeat, body rashes, dizziness and weakness.
India on Jan. 4 approved the emergency use of two vaccines, one developed by Oxford University and U.K.-based drugmaker AstraZeneca, and another by Bharat Biotech. But the regulator took the step without publishing information about the Indian vaccine’s efficacy.
Most hospitals in India are inoculating health care workers with the AstraZeneca vaccine. But the turnout, particularly in those hospitals where the Bharat Biotech vaccine is being administered, has been relatively low, health officials said.
Hospitals in New Delhi that have been administering the Bharat Biotech vaccine have seen many doctors hesitate to take the shot.
India’s health ministry on Monday said that 381,305 people have been vaccinated in the country.
India is second only to the U.S. in the number of confirmed cases, with more than 10.5 million. The country ranks third in the number of deaths, behind the U.S. and Brazil, with over 152,000.

HERE’S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:
KIGALI, Rwanda — Rwanda is again locking down its capital, Kigali, for 15 days as coronavirus infections resume rising.
The prime minister’s office noted a “recent unprecedented rise in cases, deaths and transmission rates.” It said all movements other than for essential services will require a permit from police, and public transport and travel between the capital and other provinces are prohibited.
Schools, places of worship and stores are closed, and restaurants can only provide takeout. Tourism activities, however, can continue. Only 15 people can attend funerals.
An overnight curfew remains in effect in the rest of the East African country. Rwanda has had more than 11,000 confirmed virus cases, including 146 deaths.

BEIJING — China is now dealing with coronavirus outbreaks across its frigid northeast, prompting additional lockdowns and travel bans.
The country reported a total of 118 newly confirmed cases Tuesday — most of them in Jilin province, the Hebei region just outside Beijing and Heilongjiang province bordering Russia.
A fourth northern province, Liaoning, has also imposed quarantines and travel restrictions to prevent the virus from further spreading, part of measures being imposed across much of the country to prevent new outbreaks during during February’s Lunar New Year holiday.
Authorities have called on citizens not to travel, ordered schools closed a week early and conducted testing on a massive scale.
___
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Travelers to New Zealand from most other nations will need to show negative coronavirus test results before boarding as of next Monday.
New Zealand recently imposed the test requirement for travelers from the U.S. and Britain, and authorities said Tuesday that it is being extending to all other countries, with the exception of Australia and a handful of Pacific Island nations. Travelers returning from Antarctica are also exempt.
COVID-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins says New Zealand has some of the strictest border measures in the world.
There is currently no community spread of the virus in New Zealand, with all known infections among travelers who have been put into quarantine at the border. Most travelers are required to spend two weeks in quarantine upon arrival.

WASHINGTON — President-elect Joe Biden’s incoming White House press secretary says his administration does not intend to lift coronavirus travel restrictions for Europe, the U.K., Ireland and Brazil.
The message from Jen Psaki came Monday evening after the White House said President Donald Trump had lifted the restrictions for those countries, effective Jan. 26.
Psaki then tweeted: “On the advice of our medical team, the Administration does not intend to lift these restrictions on 1/26.”
She added, “In fact, we plan to strengthen public health measures around international travel in order to further mitigate the spread of COVID-19.”
Trump imposed the travel restrictions early in the pandemic to slow the spread of the coronavirus to the U.S. They prevented most people without American citizenship or residency from traveling to the U.S. from the affected regions.

"India’s homegrown vaccine developer Bharat Biotech has warned people with weaker immunity and other medical conditions that include allergies, fever, or a bleeding disorder to consult a doctor before getting the shot — and if possible avoid the vaccine.\nThe vaccine by Bharat Biotech ran into controversy after the Indian government allowed its use without concrete data that showed it was effective in preventing illness from COVID-19. Tens of thousands of people have been given the shot in the past three days after India started inoculating its health care workers last weekend in what is likely the world’s largest COVID-19 vaccination campaign.\nThe company Tuesday said those receiving jabs should disclose their medical conditions, medicines they are taking and any history of allergies. It said symptoms of a severe allergic reaction in vaccine recipients may include difficulty in breathing, swelling of the face and throat, rapid heartbeat, body rashes, dizziness and weakness.\nIndia on Jan. 4 approved the emergency use of two vaccines, one developed by Oxford University and U.K.-based drugmaker AstraZeneca, and another by Bharat Biotech. But the regulator took the step without publishing information about the Indian vaccine’s efficacy.\nMost hospitals in India are inoculating health care workers with the AstraZeneca vaccine. But the turnout, particularly in those hospitals where the Bharat Biotech vaccine is being administered, has been relatively low, health officials said.\nHospitals in New Delhi that have been administering the Bharat Biotech vaccine have seen many doctors hesitate to take the shot.\nIndia’s health ministry on Monday said that 381,305 people have been vaccinated in the country.\nIndia is second only to the U.S. in the number of confirmed cases, with more than 10.5 million. The country ranks third in the number of deaths, behind the U.S. and Brazil, with over 152,000.\n___\nTHE VIRUS OUTBREAK:\n— Continuing high numbers of new infections are making the virus genetically diverse, and each mutation threatens to undo progress\n— Dubai promotes itself as the ideal pandemic vacation spot, but the virus is shaking the foundations of its economy\n— Hospital chaplains are on the front lines, helping patients unable to see families and putting themselves at risk\n__Follow all of AP’s pandemic coverage at https://apnews.com/hub/coronavirus-pandemic, https://apnews.com/hub/coronavirus-vaccine and https://apnews.com/UnderstandingtheOutbreak\n___\nHERE’S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:\nKIGALI, Rwanda — Rwanda is again locking down its capital, Kigali, for 15 days as coronavirus infections resume rising.\nThe prime minister’s office noted a “recent unprecedented rise in cases, deaths and transmission rates.” It said all movements other than for essential services will require a permit from police, and public transport and travel between the capital and other provinces are prohibited.\nSchools, places of worship and stores are closed, and restaurants can only provide takeout. Tourism activities, however, can continue. Only 15 people can attend funerals.\nAn overnight curfew remains in effect in the rest of the East African country. Rwanda has had more than 11,000 confirmed virus cases, including 146 deaths.\n___\nBEIJING — China is now dealing with coronavirus outbreaks across its frigid northeast, prompting additional lockdowns and travel bans.\nThe country reported a total of 118 newly confirmed cases Tuesday — most of them in Jilin province, the Hebei region just outside Beijing and Heilongjiang province bordering Russia.\nA fourth northern province, Liaoning, has also imposed quarantines and travel restrictions to prevent the virus from further spreading, part of measures being imposed across much of the country to prevent new outbreaks during during February’s Lunar New Year holiday.\nAuthorities have called on citizens not to travel, ordered schools closed a week early and conducted testing on a massive scale.\n___\nWELLINGTON, New Zealand — Travelers to New Zealand from most other nations will need to show negative coronavirus test results before boarding as of next Monday.\nNew Zealand recently imposed the test requirement for travelers from the U.S. and Britain, and authorities said Tuesday that it is being extending to all other countries, with the exception of Australia and a handful of Pacific Island nations. Travelers returning from Antarctica are also exempt.\nCOVID-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins says New Zealand has some of the strictest border measures in the world.\nThere is currently no community spread of the virus in New Zealand, with all known infections among travelers who have been put into quarantine at the border. Most travelers are required to spend two weeks in quarantine upon arrival.\n___\nWASHINGTON — President-elect Joe Biden’s incoming White House press secretary says his administration does not intend to lift coronavirus travel restrictions for Europe, the U.K., Ireland and Brazil.\nThe message from Jen Psaki came Monday evening after the White House said President Donald Trump had lifted the restrictions for those countries, effective Jan. 26.\nPsaki then tweeted: “On the advice of our medical team, the Administration does not intend to lift these restrictions on 1/26.”\nShe added, “In fact, we plan to strengthen public health measures around international travel in order to further mitigate the spread of COVID-19.”\nTrump imposed the travel restrictions early in the pandemic to slow the spread of the coronavirus to the U.S. They prevented most people without American citizenship or residency from traveling to the U.S. from the affected regions.",

Tribal clashes leave dozens dead in 2 Sudanese provinces

CAIRO (AP) — A Sudanese doctors’ committee says tribal clashes between Arabs and non-Arabs in West Darfur province killed around 130 people over the weekend, including women and children. Authorities In South Darfur, meanwhile, on Monday reported dozens of casualties from ethnic fighting in that province. The U.N. says the West Darfur violence displaced at least 50,000 people. The clashes grew out of a fistfight between two people Friday and continued until Sunday morning. The governor of South Darfur says the killing of a shepherd touched off deadly clashes between the Rizeigat and non-Arab Falata tribe. Local media say at least 60 people were killed and 40 wounded. The clashes pose a challenge to efforts by Sudan’s transitional government to end decades-long rebellions in areas like Darfur.

NEW YORK (AP) — Robert Saleh has already made history that extends far beyond any football field. The New York Jets’ new head coach is the first known Muslim American to hold that position in NFL history. That’s a source of great pride for a community that has been generally underrepresented in the league’s on-field leadership roles. The 41-year-old Saleh is the son of Lebanese parents and grew up in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Michigan, which has a large Muslim population. The team announced Thursday night the sides reached an agreement in principle. Saleh is expected to be formally introduced as the Jets coach next week.

SYDNEY (AP) — More Australian states and territories are imposing travel restrictions to prevent the coronavirus spreading from new outbreaks in New South Wales and Victoria states. The Australian Capital Territory has shut out non-residents who have been in the northern beaches of Sydney, where the outbreaks are most concentrated, Greater Sydney and other smaller centers, unless they have an exemption. The island state of Tasmania has barred anyone directly linked to the latest Victorian cases, listing exposure sites where confirmed cases are known to have been. In China more than 4.4 million people have been tested in the northeastern city of Shenyang after the discovery of a new cluster. So far, only one case has been confirmed from the testing. China reported a total of eight cases.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson says he has not made a decision yet on his political future as the vocal backer of President Donald Trump faces two years in the minority and mounting calls for him to step aside. The update from the Republican comes a day after the U.S. Capitol was stormed by Trump supporters. Johnson texted The Associated Press on Thursday to say he had not yet made a decision. He is weighing whether to seek a third term, run for governor, or step down. His decision will have a cascading effect in Wisconsin as other Republicans wait to see what he does.

Pelosi's nine impeachment managers hope to 'finish the job'

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.

Republican senators want to halt Trump impeachment trial

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senators have taken an oath to ensure “impartial justice” as jurors in Donald Trump’s historic impeachment trial, but some Republican senators want to stop the proceedings. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. said he will force a vote on whether the impeachment trial of a former president is allowed under the Constitution. House Democratic prosecutors made the ceremonial walk across the Capitol late Monday to deliver the impeachment charge that Trump incited the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. Republicans are also questioning whether Trump’s repeated demands to overturn Joe Biden’s election really amounted to incitement. The trial is to begin in two weeks.

(WQOW)- One person has been shot at the U.S. Capitol as dozens of supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the building and violently clashed with police.
That's according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday on condition of anonymity amid a chaotic situation.
The exact circumstances surrounding the shooting were unclear. The person said the victim had been taken to a hospital. Their condition was not known.
The shooting came as dozens of Trump supporters breached security perimeters and entered the U.S. Capitol as Congress was meeting, expected to vote and affirm Joe Biden's presidential win. Trump has riled up his supporters by falsely claiming widespread voter fraud to explain his loss.

Accumulating snow Saturday night follows Friday's frigid temps
| null | null |
wqow.com

Eau Claire has been spared from arctic air for most of the winter so far, with the coldest temperature this winter coming on the morning of December 29 of -2. That was Eau Claire's only negative low this winter, though lows hit zero twice: on mornings of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Friday morning's low of 1 degree was the fourth coldest of the winter.
While Eau Claire didn't drop below zero, areas north and west did. Lows as cold as -6 were recorded to the northwest of Eau Claire. Areas to the south were above zero, but only a couple degrees warmer than Eau Claire.
The coldest wind chills came around the 7am hour, when Eau Claire's coldest wind chill of the winter of -13 was recorded. At that time, Cumberland had a wind chill of -20.
Eau Claire's high of 14 was also the second coldest high temperature this winter; The coldest high of the winter was 11 degrees on Christmas Eve. Temperatures Friday night have a chance to drop below zero for just the second time this winter, but with light winds expect it to feel similar or even slightly warmer than this morning was.
Saturday starts sunny, but clouds move in as temps climb to the low 20s ahead of a winter low pressure system.
Snow arrives between mid afternoon near the Mississippi River and late afternoon/early evening along the highway 53 corridor. Most of the moderate snow will fall Saturday night, with only a few lingering flurries possible Sunday morning before clouds begin to clear to partly cloudy by late afternoon.
Snow totals will be a widespread 2 to 5 inches, but slightly higher totals are likely south of highway 10 and west of highway 53 in the Mississippi River Valley. The Chippewa Valley and from highway 10 up to just north of highway 64 should get between 3 and 6 inches of light and fluffy snow, with areas closer to highway 8 only getting between 1 and 4 inches.
Areas with at least 3 inches forecast are under a Winter Weather Advisory until early Sunday morning. There won't be much wind, though any light breeze could still move around the very light and powdery snow.
Snow should even be east of Green Bay by the start of the Packer Game, though some flurries remain possible during Green Bay's NFC Championship Game against Tampa Bay at Lambeau Field.
Quieter weather returns Sunday afternoon through most of next week, with the only chance for snow arriving Wednesday, though even that has started to trend a bit south. Temperatures do look warmer by the end of next week.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Coronavirus infections are surging to unprecedented heights in the United Arab Emirates. The daily virus case count has nearly tripled in the last month but Dubai cannot afford to shut down, particularly during its peak winter season. The virus is shaking the foundations of the city-state’s economy. Dubai is known for its cavernous malls, frenetic construction and legions of foreign workers. The city was built on the promise of globalization; its economy draws from the aviation, hospitality and retail sectors — all hard hit by the virus. Authorities are seizing on the country’s mass vaccine rollout as the only way to contain the outbreak.

LONDON (AP) — Four Premier League players from Tottenham and West Ham ignored English lockdown regulations by gathering inside a house together over Christmas just after the government had tightened coronavirus restrictions. The revelation came as the league was forced to call off a third game this week, with a worsening COVID-19 outbreak at Fulham leading to Sunday’s game at Burnley being postponed. Tottenham and West Ham condemned the inter-household mixing by their players. Tottenham trio Erik Lamela, Sergio Reguilon and Giovani Lo Celso were pictured with West Ham’s Manuel Lanzini and other people.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) — Bernie Sanders went from becoming a hit meme to a nearly $20,000-crochet doll in less than a week. After the Vermont senator went viral on social media for his simple Inauguration Day fashion choices of quirky brown mittens and over-sized olive-green coat, Tobey King in Texas got to crocheting. She turned the sensational image that trended for days on social media into a 9-inch crochet doll. It sold for $20,300 on an eBay auction. The 46-year-old King said she will donate to Meals on Wheels America. Her donation was inspired by Sanders, whose campaign created sweatshirts with the image on them and donated the proceeds to Meals on Wheel in Vermont.

KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — A federal lawsuit demanding that Facebook prevent militias and hate groups from using the site after a militia used the platform to draw armed people to anti-police brutality protests in Wisconsin is over. The lawsuit named Facebook, the Kenosha Guard militia and Kyle Rittenhouse as defendants. Rittenhouse is charged with killing two men during the August demonstrations in Kenosha. The lawsuit alleged Facebook was negligent in allowing the Kenosha Guard to put out a call for militia members to go to the city. The Kenosha News reports the plaintiffs’ attorney filed a notice of dismissal on Tuesday.

EC School Board votes to allow open enrollment at Memorial High School

EAU CLAIRE (WQOW) - The Eau Claire School Board voted Monday night, to close several sites to open-enrolled students for the 2021-22 school year.
However, the board approved designating Memorial High School as an option for open-enrolled high school students. Since 2017, all open-enrolled high schoolers have been attending North High School. So, the move seeks to balance student enrollment between the two schools.
The district's eight special education cluster sites, Prairie Edge Early Learning Center and North Star Middle School's Arctic Zone program will be closed to open enrollment next school year.

Warnock's rise from poverty to US senator

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — The man elected to be Georgia’s first Black senator calls his story one that could only happen in America. Raphael Warnock won a runoff election Tuesday to defeat Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler. The 51-year-old Baptist pastor grew up in poverty with 11 siblings in Savannah, where his father preached and made extra money hauling old cars to a scrapyard. Warnock became the first in his family to graduate from college, earned a Ph.D. in theology and later became head pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church, where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. preached. Warnock has said he sees entering politics as an extension of his activism as a preacher.

KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — A team of 10 Nepalese climbers who became the first to scale the world’s second-highest peak during the harsh winter season have received a hero’s welcome on return home to Nepal. Mountaineers, supporters, friends and family lined the Kathmandu airport on Tuesday to greet the climbers with garlands and cheers as a police band played tunes. They were then driven around city in open trucks. The winter climb marks another achievement for Nepalese climbers who for decades worked as porters and guides for foreign mountaineers but now are setting their own records and running expeditions on the highest peaks. K2 had remained the last peak above 8,000 meters (26,240 feet) in the world that was yet to be climbed in the winter.

Some of the nation’s governors are growing impatient for hospitals and other health care organizations to vaccine their front-line workers. New York’s governor is threatening to fine hospitals that don’t use their allotment of COVID-19 vaccine fast enough. His counterpart in South Carolina says hospitals and health care workers have until Jan. 15 to get a shot or move to the back of the line. In other vaccine developments, U.S. health officials say at least 29 people developed severe allergic reactions to vaccines, but they stress that the risk for most people is low. More than 5.3 million people have been vaccinated.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A sober and shaken Senate returned to session Wednesday night to slap away a frivolous challenge to President-elect Joe Biden’s election victory. But senators also took the chance to rise above a shocking day in which they were forced by a mob of fanatical supporters of President Donald Trump to flee the Capitol. The riot in the Capitol led more than half of those who had signed on to the protest to Arizona’s election result to instead vote “no.” The 93-6 tally accepting the vote was preceded by an unusually serious debate in which party labels were shed and constitutional prerogatives embraced.

ATLANTA (AP) — For more than four years, President Donald Trump has dominated the Republican Party and the whole of American politics. Now Georgia gets to decide what comes next. Twin Senate runoffs on Tuesday, just 15 days before Trump leaves office, will not only determine which party controls the Senate but also offer the first clues about how long Trump can maintain his grip on the nation’s political affairs once he loses the White House megaphone. Democrats are looking to prove President-elect Joe Biden’s win in November was more than just a backlash to Trump. Republicans must question how much longer they can openly embrace Trump and his divisive politics and still win elections in two-party battlegrounds.

Delay sought in ex-officers' trial over George Floyd's death

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Prosecutors in the case against the four Minneapolis police officers charged in the death of George Floyd requested that the trial delayed by three months. Prosecutors cited the COVID-19 pandemic and the amount of time needed before enough people are vaccinated and health risks are sufficiently diminished. The trial has been scheduled for March 8 for the now-fired police officers charged in the death of Floyd on May 25 while he was forcibly detained on a south Minneapolis street corner. Prosecutors want to delay the trial until June 7.

ATLANTA (AP) — Emotions ran high today as baseball came together at Truist Park to honor to life and legacy of Hank Aaron. The one-time home run king and Baseball Hall of Famer died last week at age 86. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred, Braves manager Brian Snitker and Hall of Famer Chipper Jones spoke emotionally about Aaron’s humble demeanor and the enormous legacy he left behind. Snitker, especially choked back tears as he remembered Aaron’s affection for those who didn’t possess his unparalleled talent. And Jones credited Aaron with helping persuade the Braves to take him with the No. 1 pick in 1990.

TOKYO (AP) — The teargas and bullets as angry supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol building has been met with global outrage and condemnation. But there’s also been a persistent strain of glee from those who have long resented what’s seen as the U.S. tendency to chastise other countries for less-than-perfect adherence to democratic ideals. Some people around the world seemed to revel in the burst of violence that marked the end of a presidency that has divided opinion abroad almost as strongly as it has in America.

Merkel's party to choose new leader ahead of German election

BERLIN (AP) — German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s center-right party is choosing a new leader this weekend. Saturday’s decision will help shape German voters’ choice of a successor to Merkel at the helm of the European Union’s biggest economy after her 16-year tenure. Merkel stepped down as leader of the Christian Democratic Union in 2018 and said she wouldn’t seek a fifth term as chancellor. Her successor announced her resignation last February after failing to impose her authority on the party — setting off a new race for the job and potentially the chance to run for chancellor in Germany’s Sept. 26 election. There are three main candidates: conservative-leaning Friedrich Merz, more liberal state governor Armin Laschet and prominent lawmaker Norbert Roettgen.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has brought an end to lawsuits over whether Donald Trump illegally profited off his presidency. The justices on Monday threw out Trump’s challenge to lower court rulings that had allowed lawsuits to go forward alleging that he violated the Constitution’s emoluments clause by accepting payments from foreign and domestic officials who stay at the Trump International Hotel. The high court also ordered the lower court rulings thrown out as well and directed appeals courts in New York and Richmond, Virginia, to dismiss the suits as moot now that Trump is no longer in office.

NEW YORK (AP) — Chewy is using a personal touch and a bit of kitsch to hook customers. The online pet store sends 1,000 free paintings a week to select customers, tapping into people’s obsession with their fur children. Those in the pet industry credit Chewy’s success to its customer service, but it’s the paintings that have customers panting. The portraits have become a hit on social media. So far, Chewy has been able to withstand the pandemic and even benefit from all the newly-minted pet owners that have been an outcrop of the lockdowns. Its stock price more than tripled in 2020 and its customer base neared 18 million, up 40% from the year before.

How too much screen time can negatively impact kids
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
EAU CLAIRE (WQOW) - From online classes to virtual playdates, kids are more glued to their screens than ever before, and health experts say that extra screen time can have negative effects.
Michael Axelrod, a psychology professor and director of the Human Development Center at UW-Eau Claire, said overuse of technology could impact some kids' social skills and make them more irritable and uncooperative.
But screen use has been on the rise for a while.
According to a study by Qustodio, a company that tracks usage on thousands of devices used by children worldwide, children now watch twice as many online videos daily compared to four years ago. It also indicates children in the U.S. spent an average of 97 minutes a day on YouTube alone from March 15 to April 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic.
Axelrod said some signs your children may be on their devices too much include isolating themselves for 10 hours or more and changes in sleeping and eating patterns.
"Too much time engaged with technology can impact behavior in general," Axelrod said. "I think kids tend to get moodier. They're a little more overreactive sometimes the longer they engage in technology and sort of not come back to their friends and family."
Axelrod added that we need to also be careful about demonizing technology usage altogether and show our children how to use it properly.
During the pandemic, he suggests connecting kids with music, sports or volunteer work.

JERUSALEM (AP) — An Israeli watchdog says the government has approved nearly 2,600 new housing units in east Jerusalem and West Bank settlements a day before President-elect Joe Biden takes office. Israeli authorities made a major last-minute push this week to advance settlement construction in the occupied West Bank, which the Palestinians seek as part of a future independent state, in the twilight hours of the Trump administration. The anti-settlement monitoring group Peace Now says the majority of the new government tenders published on Tuesday, just a day before Biden’s inauguration, are deep in the West Bank.

BEIJING (AP) — Asian stock markets have risen on 2021’s first trading day, boosted by optimism about the rollout of coronavirus vaccines after Wall Street ended the year on a new high. Shanghai, Hong Kong, Seoul and Sydney advanced. Tokyo declined after Japan’s prime minister said the government was considering declaring a state of emergency for the capital due to soaring virus caseloads. Vaccine development by U.S., European and Chinese producers has raised hopes a return to normal might be closer after the global economy’s worst decline since the 1930s. That is outweighing concern about rising infection numbers in the United States and some other countries and conflict in Washington over economic aid.

Supreme Court takes on early stage of global warming case

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court seems cautious about giving oil and gas companies a win in a case involving global warming. The case the court was hearing Tuesday is not about whether the companies can be held responsible for harms resulting from global warming. Instead, it’s an important preliminary fight that could help determine whether similar global warming cases ultimately wind up being argued in state court or federal court. The companies want to be in federal court. Both liberal and conservative justices expressed some skepticism of the companies’ arguments. A win for the oil and gas companies would make it easier for them to challenge an order sending a case from federal court back to state court.

US trade deficit jumps to $68.1 billion in November

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. trade deficit jumped to $68.1 billion in November, the highest monthly deficit in 14 years, as a surge in imports overwhelmed a smaller increase in exports. The Commerce Department said Thursday that the November gap between what America buys from abroad compared to what it sells rose 8% from October. The increase reflects a 2.9% increase in imports of goods and services to $252.3 billion on a seasonally adjusted basis. That jump swamped a 1.2% rise in exports which totaled $184.2 billion in November. Through the first 11 months of 2020, the deficit stands at $604.8 billion, 13.9% higher than the same period in 2019. President Donald Trump has insisted that his get-tough trade policies with the rest of the world would shrink the deficit and bring back American jobs.

LONDON (AP) — Prince William says he is concerned about the mental health of U.K. ambulance drivers, police officers and other first responders who are being exposed to extraordinary levels of trauma and death as coronavirus cases soar. William is a former search and rescue helicopter pilot. He told emergency workers on a video call that they must not be afraid to ask for help despite their inclination to help others first. Britain’s health care system is staggering as a more contagious variant of the coronavirus coupled with cold, wet winter weather puts unprecedented strain on hospitals. Hundreds of firefighters have volunteered to drive ambulances to ease pressure on beleaguered services.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will be sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. It will be a history-making event Wednesday when the first Black, South Asian and female vice president takes her oath of office from the first Latina justice. A person familiar with the decision says Harris chose Sotomayor for the task. She’ll also use two Bibles for the swearing-in, one of which belonged to the first Black Supreme Court justice, Thurgood Marshall. Harris has expressed admiration for both Sotomayor and Marshall.

BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s health minister says he expects the European Union’s drug regulator to authorize a further coronavirus vaccine made by AstraZeneca, but that currently available data may mean it isn’t recommend for all older adults. Jens Spahn said Friday that authorities are waiting to see what advice the European Medicines Agency issues with regard to vaccinations for people over 65. Germany would then adjust its own guidance for doctors in the country. Spahn told reporters in Berlin that “we don’t expect an unrestricted approval.” Only 12% of the participants in the AstraZeneca research were over 55 and they were enrolled later, so there hasn’t been enough time to get results.

GLENDALE, Calif. (AP) — A man who allegedly spat on random people while jogging in a Los Angeles suburb because they weren’t wearing masks has been arrested. Glendale police say James Howard of Glendale was arrested on Dec. 30 and booked for investigation of battery, elder abuse and committing a hate crime. Police say they began investigating late last year after reports that a shirtless jogger was spitting on random people, primarily for not wearing a face mask. The victims ranged from 13 to 78 years old, and police say the attacker taunted or used racial slurs against some victims.

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — The German economy shrank by 5% in the pandemic year 2020. That brought to an end a decade of growth as lockdowns wiped out much business and consumer activity. The state statistics agency painted a dreary picture. Industry and services suffered severe downturns. Only construction saw a small uptick. Services activity involving sporting and cultural events were also hammered. The pandemic downturn was still smaller than that experienced during 2009 when the economy shrank by 5.7%. The numbers also indicate consumers have saved more and could be ready to unleash a strong recovery when the pandemic finally eases.

BALTIMORE (AP) — President Joe Biden plans to take executive action to provide a stopgap measure of financial relief to millions of Americans. Biden wants to get assistance flowing while Congress begins to consider the Democratic president’s much larger $1.9 trillion package to help those affected by the coronavirus pandemic. The two executive orders that Biden is to sign Friday would increase food aid, protect job seekers on unemployment and clear a path for federal workers and contractors to get a $15 hourly minimum wage. The Biden White House has not provided a timeline for getting its proposed relief package through.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has announced he will designate Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels as a “foreign terrorist organization” as time runs down on the Trump administration. The announcement late Sunday comes as Pompeo and his top aides rush to complete actions they believe will cement their legacy and the president’s. In addition to the Houthi designation Pompeo in coming days is also expected to likely re-designate Cuba as a “state sponsor of terrorism.” Both moves will impose or re-impose sanctions on the targets and may complicate the incoming Biden administration’s diplomacy. On Saturday Pompeo angered China when he declared restrictions on U.S. diplomatic contacts with Taiwanese officials to be null and void.

Dunn County man charged for allegedly hiding his son's girlfriend

DUNN COUNTY (WQOW) - A Dunn County man is being charged for allegedly helping hide a teenage girl who was missing from her home.
Tony Schilling, 49, is charged with interfering with child custody, felony bail jumping and obstructing an officer.
Cara Haaf, 16, went missing from her Rice Lake home on December 14. Rice Lake police say she was found more than two weeks later, on December 30, hiding in a closet at her boyfriend's dad's house.
According to the criminal complaint filed in Dunn County Court:
On Dec. 28, one of Haaf's parents received a text from an unknown number saying, "I have your daughter. I killed her and [buried] her in the dump."
Later that day, authorities spoke to Haaf's boyfriend Isaac Schilling, 17, who denied knowing where she was. Dunn County deputies said he hadn't seen Haaf in a week. Neither Schilling would allow authorities in their home. Later that day, authorities were able to get in but didn't find Haas.
The next day, police took a call from someone saying they saw Haaf outside Schilling's home.
On Dec. 30, another Ridgeland resident called and said they saw Haaf at the Schilling home.
Authorities arrived back at the home where Tony Schilling eventually admitted Haaf was hiding in the bedroom closet.
Authorities found her hiding under a pile of clothes in the closet. She was turned over to Rice Lake PD.
Tony Schilling told authorities Haaf had just gotten to the home that morning or the night before. He said he planned on turning her over to police that afternoon.
An officer said he told Tony Schilling that if he truly had intentions of turning over the teen he would have done it earlier.
Authorities add it was likely one of the Schillings who sent the text mentioned above on Dec. 28.
Isaac Schilling was also arrested, although as of publishing, charges have not been filed against him.

"DUNN COUNTY (WQOW) - A Dunn County man is being charged for allegedly helping hide a teenage girl who was missing from her home.\nTony Schilling, 49, is charged with interfering with child custody, felony bail jumping and obstructing an officer.\nCara Haaf, 16, went missing from her Rice Lake home on December 14. Rice Lake police say she was found more than two weeks later, on December 30, hiding in a closet at her boyfriend's dad's house.\nAccording to the criminal complaint filed in Dunn County Court:\nOn Dec. 28, one of Haaf's parents received a text from an unknown number saying, \"I have your daughter. I killed her and [buried] her in the dump.\"\nLater that day, authorities spoke to Haaf's boyfriend Isaac Schilling, 17, who denied knowing where she was. Dunn County deputies said he hadn't seen Haaf in a week. Neither Schilling would allow authorities in their home. Later that day, authorities were able to get in but didn't find Haas.\nThe next day, police took a call from someone saying they saw Haaf outside Schilling's home.\nOn Dec. 30, another Ridgeland resident called and said they saw Haaf at the Schilling home.\nAuthorities arrived back at the home where Tony Schilling eventually admitted Haaf was hiding in the bedroom closet.\nAuthorities found her hiding under a pile of clothes in the closet. She was turned over to Rice Lake PD.\nTony Schilling told authorities Haaf had just gotten to the home that morning or the night before. He said he planned on turning her over to police that afternoon.\nAn officer said he told Tony Schilling that if he truly had intentions of turning over the teen he would have done it earlier.\nAuthorities add it was likely one of the Schillings who sent the text mentioned above on Dec. 28.\nIsaac Schilling was also arrested, although as of publishing, charges have not been filed against him.",

J&J 1-dose shot prevents COVID-19, but less than some others

Johnson & Johnson says its vaccine appears to protect against COVID-19 with just one shot. It’s not as strong as some two-shot rivals but still potentially helpful for a world in dire need of more doses. Results released Friday show the single-shot vaccine was 66% effective overall at preventing moderate to severe illness, and much more protective against the most serious symptoms. The vaccine worked better in the U.S. compared to South Africa, where it was up against a tougher, mutated virus.. The company says it will file an application for emergency use soon in the U.S., and then abroad.

ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan (AP) — Turkmenistan’s autocratic leader has established a national holiday to honor the local dog breed. President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov ordered the holiday praising the Alabai, the Central Asian shepherd dog, to be celebrated on the last Sunday of April when the ex-Soviet nation also marks the day of the local horse breed, according to Tuesday’s report in the daily Neutral Turkmenistan. The Central Asian nation of 6 million prides itself in horses and dogs, honoring its centuries-old herding traditions. Berdymukhamedov has ruled the gas-rich desert country since 2006 through an all-encompassing personality cult that styles him as Turkmenistan’s “arkadaq,’ or protector.

BEIJING (AP) — China says a group of experts from the World Health Organization are due to arrive Thursday for an investigation into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic. A one-sentence announcement from the National Health Commission on Monday said the experts would be meeting with Chinese counterparts but gave no other details. It wasn’t immediately clear whether they would be traveling to the central Chinese city of Wuhan, where the coronavirus was first detected in late 2019. Negotiations for the visit have long been underway.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazilian women without means have started seeking abortions elsewhere in Latin America to dodge risks and legal obstacles in the region’s most populous country. Abortions are relatively common in Brazil, but there is great stigma attached and President Jair Bolsonaro has vowed to prevent any loosening of restrictions. Brazilian women don’t even need passports to enter Argentina, a fellow Mercosur nation, which on Dec. 30 approved landmark legislation legalizing abortion. Its passage underscored not only how its progressive social policy diverges from Brazil’s conservative one, but also the likelihood that more Brazilian women will seek abortions in the neighboring country.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Burundi will close its land and water borders starting Monday and all passengers passing through the Bujumbura airport will be escorted by police, the government said Friday as COVID-19 cases surge again in parts of the African continent. This is the second time the East African nation has closed its borders to help contain the spread of the virus. Early in the pandemic, the administration of the late President Pierre Nkurunziza faced criticism for not taking the coronavirus seriously. But new President Evariste Ndayishimiye shortly after taking office in June called COVID-19 the country’s “worst enemy.”

President Joe Biden says the U.S. is ramping up vaccine deliveries to hard-pressed states over the next three weeks and expects to provide enough doses to vaccinate 300 million Americans by the end of the summer or early fall. Biden is calling the push a “wartime effort.” He said Tuesday that his administration is working to buy an additional 100 million doses of each of the two approved coronavirus vaccines. And he acknowledged that states in recent weeks have been left guessing how much vaccine they will have from one week to the next. He called that “unacceptable” and said “lives are at stake.”

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesia’s highest Islamic body has given its religious approval to China’s Sinovac vaccine, paving the way for its distribution in the world’s most populous Muslim nation. The Indonesian Ulema Council on Friday announced that the COVID-19 vaccine is holy and halal, or fit for consumption by Muslims. The head of the council’s fatwa department also said that the complete fatwa, or religious edict, related to the safety of the vaccine is still waiting for the green light from the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority. The drug regulator said it would draw from data of the clinical trials in Brazil and Turkey, as well as own trial results before authorizing use of the vaccine.

MOUNT POCONO, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say at least four people have been injured in a string of shootings that prompted an order to shelter in place for a Pennsylvania community in the Pocono Mountains. Pocono Mountain Regional Police Chief Chris Wagner said Monday night that shots rang out not far from each other in at least four different areas of Monroe County, Pennsylvania. A woman was flown to a hospital with a gunshot wound to her back, while another victim appeared to be shot in the head. No suspects had been arrested late Monday. Police were interviewing people of interest in the shootings, which they believe were connected.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Justin Fields threw six touchdown passes to outshine Trevor Lawrence, and No. 3 Ohio State avenged last season’s painful College Football Playoff loss to Clemson with a 49-28 victory in the Sugar Bowl semifinal. The 7-0 Buckeyes head to the CFP championship game for the first time since the inaugural playoff to face No. 1 Alabama on Jan. 11 at Hard Rock Stadium in South Florida. Ohio State beat the Crimson Tide in the semifinals on the way to the 2014 national championship and will now have to go through mighty ’Bama. Lawrence is the presumptive No. 1 pick in the NFL draft, but Fields outplayed him on this night, going 22 of 28 for 385 yards and setting a Sugar Bowl record for TD passes.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has named two Democrats to lead energy-related commissions that oversee nuclear power, natural gas and other energy infrastructure. Christopher Hanson, the new chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and Rich Glick, leader of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, replace Republicans who led the panels under President Donald Trump. The NRC regulates commercial nuclear power plants and other uses of nuclear materials, while FERC oversees natural gas pipelines and other energy projects. Hanson replaces Kristine Svinicki, who chaired the agency for four years. Glick replaces James Danly, who had led the five-member panel since November.

US virus numbers drop, but race against new strains heats up

Coronavirus deaths and cases in the U.S. have dropped markedly over the past couple of weeks but are still running at alarmingly high levels. And the effort to snuff out COVID-19 is becoming an ever more urgent race between the vaccine and the mutating virus. Deaths are running at an average of just under 3,100 a day, down from more than 3,350 less than two weeks ago. New cases are averaging about 170,000 a day, after peaking at around 250,000. The country’s top infectious-disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, says the improvements appear to be the result of a natural plateau after the holiday surge — not the effect of the vaccine. And he urges continued vigilance.

Green Bay man charged with 18th drunken driving offense

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — A 73-year-old Green Bay man has been charged with his 18th drunken driving offense, after a crash Friday that took out power lines and caused an outage. Wallace Bowers had 17 prior operating while intoxicated convictions between 1988 and 2011, but had a valid license as of Friday. During an initial court appearance, Bowers told a court commissioner he’d been sober since 2011, and he blamed medications that can interfere with the few drinks he had. Wisconsin law now requires driver’s licenses to be revoked with a 4th OWI conviction, if the the most recent was within 15 years. But Bowers’ last conviction was before the new law went into effect.

PHOENIX (AP) — A former Arizona politician must report to prison Thursday to begin serving the first of three sentences for running an illegal adoption scheme. Former Maricopa County Assessor Paul Petersen acknowledged running the scheme that paid pregnant women from the Marshall Islands to come to the U.S. to give up their babies. He was sentenced to six years in federal prison after pleading guilty in Arkansas to conspiring to commit human smuggling. Petersen is awaiting sentencing in Arizona for fraud convictions and in Utah for human smuggling and other convictions. Petersen’s attorney didn’t return phone and email messages seeking comment.

Milwaukee' ends year with 189 people killed in homicides

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Milwaukee ended 2020 with 189 homicides as of New Year's Day, nearly doubling that figure from 2019 and smashing its previous record set in 1991 by more than 14%. The Journal Sentinel reports many experts and local officials believe the increase was influenced by the coronavirus pandemic. It follows a trend seen in dozens of other American cities in 2020 and comes after four years of declining homicides locally. But it's not just fatal violence that skyrocketed in Milwaukee in 2020. As of Dec. 16, nonfatal shootings had already victimized more than 700 people in Milwaukee, a 64% increase from 2019.

Japan urges South Korea to drop wartime compensation demands

TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s foreign minister is accusing South Korea of worsening already strained ties by making what he called illegal demands for compensation for the sexual abuse of Korean women and use of forced laborers during World War II. A South Korean court ruled on Jan. 8 that Japan must compensate 12 women who were sexually abused in Japanese military brothels during the war. The ruling worsened relations between the countries which had already plunged to the lowest level in decades over earlier South Korean rulings on Japan’s actions during its colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula. Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi called the new ruling “absolutely unthinkable under international law.”
