Judge orders Uganda's Bobi Wine freed from house arrest

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — A judge ruled on Monday that Ugandan security forces cannot detain presidential challenger Bobi Wine inside his home, rebuking authorities for holding the candidate under house arrest following a disputed election. Wine, whose real name is Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, has been unable to leave his home since Jan. 14, when Ugandans voted in an election in which the singer-turned-politician was the main challenger to President Yoweri Museveni. Ugandan authorities have said Wine can only leave his home on the outskirts of the capital, Kampala, under military escort because they fear his presence in public could incite rioting.

Migrants scale border fences to enter Spanish enclave

MADRID (AP) — More than 80 migrants have managed to scale the double frontier fence to enter Spain’s North African enclave of Melilla from Morocco. Some 150 people from sub-Saharan countries attempted the crossing at 7.30 a.m. Tuesday but police stopped many from entering, Spanish news reports said. Of the 87 who made it, nine were taken to a hospital for treatment of injuries suffered in the crossing while the rest were taken to the city’s temporary migrant accommodation center while authorities study whether they can be deported. Most are normally released and ordered to leave Spain. Border crossing attempts are frequent in Melilla and nearby Ceuta, two tiny Spanish coastal territories in northern Africa separated from Morocco by tall wire fences.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Javicia Leslie says she envisioned playing a superhero but didn’t know the role of Batwoman was in her future. Leslie will star as the caped crusader on CW’s “Batwoman,” which premieres its second season on Jan. 17. She succeeds Ruby Rose as the franchise’s first Black actress to portray the superhero. She’s also featured as an avowed LGBTQ central character. In a recent interview, Leslie spoke to The Associated Press about carrying the mantle of Batwoman, the importance of the character being a lesbian and having a conversation with her mother about her sexual orientation.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — During the Trump administration’s final weeks, the Department of Homeland Security quietly signed agreements with at least four states that threaten to temporarily derail President Joe Biden’s efforts to undo his predecessor’s immigration policies. The first legal test of the agreements comes in Texas, where the Republican governor and attorney general are challenging the Democratic president’s 100-day moratorium on deportations. Arizona, Indiana, Louisiana and Texas say they are entitled to a 180-day consultation period before any changes take effect.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin’s Republican congressional delegation is split over whether to confirm the Electoral College vote won by Joe Biden, with at least two planning to object and one saying such a move would go down a “dangerous path.” U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson and Rep. Tom Tiffany plan to object on Wednesday. Rep. Mike Gallagher says he won’t and has urged other Republicans to join him. Wisconsin’s three other Republicans in Congress — Bryan Steil, Glenn Grothman and Scott Fitzgerald — have not said whether they will object and did not immediately respond to messages ahead of the vote. Biden defeated Trump in Wisconsin by nearly 21,000 votes.

Census Bureau director to resign amid criticism over data

U.S. Census Bureau director Steven Dillingham says he plans to resign with the change in presidential administrations. Dillingham had been facing criticism over efforts to produce citizenship data to comply with an order from President Donald Trump. Dillingham said in a statement Monday that he would resign on Wednesday. That’s the day President-elect Joseph Biden takes office. The Census Bureau is still crunching the numbers for the 2020 census. Democratic lawmakers last week called on Dillingham to resign after a watchdog agency said he had set a deadline that pressured statisticians to produce a report on the number of people who are in the U.S. illegally.

Extraordinary warning to Trump by 10 former Pentagon chiefs

WASHINGTON (AP) — All 10 living former secretaries of defense have joined in cautioning against any attempt to use the military in the cause of overturning November’s presidential election. The former Pentagon chiefs, both Republicans and Democrats, put their names to an opinion article published Sunday in The Washington Post. The article says the time for questioning the results of the election has passed. And they say that attempting to involve the military in resolving election disputes would take the county “into dangerous, unlawful and unconstitutional territory.” While not naming President Donald Trump, the article appears as Trump and his allies continue to falsely claim fraud spoiled November’s election.

O’FALLON, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri appeals court has denied St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner’s appeal challenging the disqualification of her office from prosecuting Mark McCloskey who, along with his wife, drew guns on racial injustice protesters last summer. The decision Friday upholds Judge Thomas Clark II’s ruling last month that removed Gardner and her office from the case, citing two campaign fundraising emails by Gardner that referenced the prosecution. Clark’s ruling applied only to Mark McCloskey, but attorneys for the couple are seeking to have the ruling apply to Patricia McCloskey’s case, too. A spokeswoman for Gardner said the ruling will be appealed to the Missouri Supreme Court.

MONTREAL (AP) — Quebec’s premier is imposing a provincewide 8 p.m. curfew beginning Saturday as a way to curb surging coronavirus infections and hospitalizations. The province will become the first in Canada to impose a curfew for addressing the pandemic. Premier Francois Legault spoke of the need to take drastic action as he announced a four-week curfew prohibiting people from leaving their homes between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. unless they are going to work. He says officials have concluded the virus is being spread through gatherings in residences, and the curfew is meant to prevent that.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The medical examiner’s office in Miami is looking into the death of a doctor who died two weeks after getting Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine. Pfizer said in a statement Friday that it didn’t think there was any direct connection to the vaccine. The medical examiner’s office in Miami said Friday that it is investigating the death along with the Florida Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Samples from an autopsy conducted this week were sent to the CDC. Pfizer said the death involved a “highly unusual” and severe case of a condition that can cause internal bleeding.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Dozens of residents in an impoverished Miami neighborhood are staying fed thanks to the efforts of a woman whose generous acts have sparked widespread giving. Since August, Sherina Jones has been feeding the hungry through free community refrigerators. When word got out that one of the refrigerators was stolen just before Thanksgiving, donations began flooding in. Residents in a neighborhood where people can barely pay their rent came forward to all give a little something that ended up being quite a lot. A former classmate of Jones bought two fridges and a local pastor donated another. Other people contributed enough money that Jones was able to give Christmas presents to 400 families.

The Rev. Raphael Warnock has given his first sermon since being declared a winner in Georgia’s U.S. Senate runoff election. In his sermon, he addressed last week’s deadly Capitol Hill riot that all but overshadowed his historic victory. While Warnock described the insurrectionist mob as “the ugly side” of the American story, he said last Wednesday’s violence was a sign of an “old world order passing away.” Before last Tuesday’s Senate contest, Georgia had never elected a Black American to represent the state in the Senate. Once sworn in, Warnock will become only the 11th Black senator seated in history.

EAU CLAIRE COUNTY (WQOW) - The Eau Claire City-County Health Department is encouraging any health care workers outside major hospitals to get vaccinated.
As we have reported, health care workers were listed as the first to receive the coronavirus vaccine, and Eau Claire health official Audrey Boerner said there are still many in that group that have not gotten the vaccine yet.
She said anyone working in a dentist's office, an eye care clinic, or really anyone who works one-on-one with patients should contact the county health department to set up vaccination for their office.
"The state has outlined those priority groups, the first one being the group that we're still working on in 1A, and we're trying to get through that group as quickly as possible so we can move on to the other groups which might be older individuals, essential workers and our general public," Boerner said.
She said they have created a survey to help connect health agencies with vaccinators. Click or tap here to visit that survey page.

ROME (AP) — Hundreds of birds died after an explosion of personal fireworks in the Italian capital on New Year’s Eve in what animal rights activists called a “massacre.” Video images of streets near Rome’s main train station showed dozens and dozens of birds scattered lifeless on the ground. The cause of the deaths was not clear, but the International Organization for the Protection of Animals said it appeared related to a particularly loud display of firecrackers and personal fireworks in the leafy neighborhood that many birds use to nest. Most of the dead were starlings.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The developers of the now-canceled Atlantic Coast Pipeline are laying out plans for how they want to go about unwinding their work and restoring disturbed land. In a filing with federal regulators made public Tuesday, the pipeline company proposed an approximately 24-month timeline for efforts West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina. Progress on the pipeline project ranged from none to essentially complete in some areas. The plan outlines where the company plans to clean up felled trees and where they plan to leave them behind, and it proposes abandoning the approximately 31 miles of installed pipe in place.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are drifting Wednesday as Wall Street continues a pause from its big recent rally. The S&P 500 was 0.1% higher after flipping between small gains and losses in early trading. It remains close to its record high set at the end of last week. Even Treasury yields are stalling following their rapid rise. The 10-year yield dipped as concerns calmed that the Federal Reserve may curtail its purchases of Treasurys. The Fed’s bond buying has kept rates low in hopes of boosting markets and the economy, but it’s also stoked criticism that stocks have become too expensive.

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Health authorities in Taiwan are quarantining 5,000 people while looking for the source of two coronavirus cases linked to a hospital. Officials said they have not been able to identify how the husband and wife became infected after a brief hospital stay. Those asked to quarantine include patients who were discharged from Taoyuan General Hospital between Jan. 6-19 and their caregivers. The cluster has grown to 15 cases. Taiwan has been applauded for its swift and sustained efforts to contain COVID-19, with just seven deaths and fewer than 900 confirmed cases, despite its proximity to China, where the pandemic began.

The Latest: New Zealand reports 1st community case in months

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — New Zealand has reported its first coronavirus case outside of a quarantine facility in more than two months, although there was no immediate evidence the virus was spreading in the community.
Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield said Sunday the case was a 56-year-old woman who recently returned from Europe.
Like other returning travelers, she spent 14 days in quarantine and twice tested negative before being returning home on Jan. 13. She later developed symptoms and tested positive.
He said health officials will conduct genome testing but are working under the assumption that the case is a more transmissible variant of the virus.
He said they are investigating to see whether its possible she caught the disease from another returning traveler who was staying in the same quarantine facility.
New Zealand has eliminated community transmission of the virus, at least for now. Bloomfield said officials are ramping up contact tracing and testing efforts and hope to have more information about the case in the coming days.

HERE’S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:
BEIJING — A Chinese city has completed 2,600 temporary treatment rooms as the country’s north battles new clusters of the coronavirus.
The single-occupancy rooms in the city of Nangong in Hebei province just outside Beijing are each equipped with their own heaters, toilets, showers and other amenities, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
Special attention has been paid to Hebei because of its proximity to the capital and the province has locked down large areas to prevent further spread of the virus. The provincial capital Shijiazhung and the city of Xingtai, which encompasses Nangong, have been largely sealed off. Community isolation and large-scale testing have also been enforced.
The National Health Commission on Sunday reported 19 additional cases in Hebei. The far northeastern province of Heilongjiang reported another 29 cases, linked partly to an outbreak at a meat processing plant. Beijing, where around 2 million residents have been ordered to undergo new testing, reported two new confirmed cases.
China currently has 1,800 people being treated for COVID-19, 94 of them listed in serious condition, with another 1,017 being monitored in isolation for having tested positive for the virus without displaying symptoms.
___
SEATTLE — Washington and Oregon are now confirming additional cases of the more contagious variant of COVID-19 in the Pacific Northwest.
The Washington Department of Health announced Saturday that the B.1.1.7 variant, which first emerged in the United Kingdom last September, has been confirmed by DNA sequencing in two cases in Snohomish County. Those are the first confirmed cases in Washington.
The Oregon Health Authority confirmed a second case, in someone from Yamhill County, a week after the first case was detected in Multnomah County.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there is no conclusive evidence that it’s more severe than other strains of the virus.
___
NEW YORK — New York will be sending more vaccination preparation kits to senior housing complexes and churches in an effort to ensure fairness in vaccine distributions, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Saturday.
The kits include syringes, vials, room dividers, privacy curtains, cleaning supplies, personal protective gear and other items. They also include instructions on how to set up a vaccination site.
New York deployed the first kits last week to five New York City Housing Authority senior citizen complexes and eight churches and cultural centers where nearly 4,200 people eligible to receive the vaccine were vaccinated, Cuomo said.
Kits are now being sent to four additional New York City senior complexes and eight other churches statewide, with plans to vaccine another 3,000 people at those locations by Tuesday. Locations in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Nassau County, Suffolk County, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, and Buffalo will be receiving the kits.
The kits are part of an effort to ensure vaccinations in Black, Latino and other communities where COVID-19 has had a disproportionate impact, the governor said.
Also Saturday, the governor’s office reported 144 more deaths statewide from the coronavirus. More than 8,800 people were hospitalized, a drop of 44 compared with Friday’s data.
___
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal appeals court has denied a Southern California church’s request to overturn the state’s coronavirus restrictions barring worship services indoors during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Sacramento Bee says Friday’s ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals leaves the door open for addressing Gov. Gavin Newsom administration’s limits on church attendance if a California county is in a less-restrictive COVID-19 tier.
A three-judge panel ruled against South Bay United Pentecostal Church of Chula Vista over public health orders that restrict religious services from being held inside while virus case rates and hospitalizations remain high.
Currently in California, indoor worship services are banned in all purple-tiered counties — those deemed to be at widespread risk of coronavirus transmission. This tier accounts for the vast majority of the state. Just four counties are in less-restrictive tiers.
___
SANTA FE, N.M. — New Mexico on Saturday reported 859 additional COVID-19 cases and 38 more deaths.
That increases the state’s pandemic totals to 168,579 cases and 3,115 deaths.
Bernalillo County had the most additional cases with 184, followed by 83 in San Juan County, 74 in Dona Ana County and 53 in McKinley County.
Most of the additional deaths involved older New Mexicans, but they also included several people in their 20s and 30s.
The number of infections is thought to be far higher than reported because many people have not been tested, and studies suggest people can be infected with the virus without feeling sick.
___
RIO DE JANEIRO — The governor of Brazil´s Amazonas state has announced tough new lockdown measures to combat a surge in COVID-19 cases that has overwhelmed local hospitals.
Gov. Wilson Lima said Saturday that as of Monday, the state’s 4 million people can only go out for essential activities such as buying food or seeking medical attention.
Hospitals in the state capital of Manaus have been strained amid reports that a new variant of the novel coronavirus is more contagious, and the state has seen a shortage of oxygen supplies. The state health secretary says 584 people are on a waiting list for hospital beds, 101 of them requiring intensive therapy.
“People need to understand that we have to take tough measures to save as many lives as possible,” Lima said in an announcement posted on social media.
___
HELSINKI — Norway says its capital, Oslo, and nine municipalities have been placed under strict restrictions to contain the spread of the new variant of the coronavirus first detected in Britain.
The Norwegian government said shopping centers and other non-essential stores in those regions were closed at noon on Saturday, and would remain shut at least until Jan. 31.
In addition, organized sports activities were halted, schools were ordered to rely increasingly on remote teaching and households were requested to not invite visitors home in those specified areas.
Norwegian health officials say the Scandinavian country of 5.4 million has so far identified some 55 cases of the virus variant which has spread widely in Britain.
Neighboring Sweden, where the overall pandemic situation is substantially worse than in Norway, said late Saturday that it was planning to launch a temporary entry ban from Norway due to the new mutated form of COVID-19.
___
LAS VEGAS — Federal prosecutors have charged a Nevada man with fraudulently obtaining about $2 million in federal coronavirus relief aid, meant for small businesses, to buy luxury vehicles and condominiums in Las Vegas.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that the U.S. attorney’s office in Nevada accused Jorge Abramovs of bank fraud after he allegedly applied for funding to at least seven banks between April and June 2020.
The complaint said a financial analysis determined Abramovs spent the money on personal luxury items, including a 2020 Bentley Continental GT Convertible for more than $260,000 and a 2020 Tesla Model 3 for about $55,000.
Abramovs was ordered remanded in custody on Friday during a detention hearing.
A defense lawyer assigned to represent Abramovs didn’t immediately respond to an emailed request by The Associated Press for comment.
___
CHICAGO — Restaurants and certain bars across Chicago and suburban Cook County have opened their doors to customers for the first time since late October after winning approval Saturday from Illinois health officials.
With the city and county moving up to Tier I of the state’s coronavirus mitigation plan, restaurants and bars that serve food can seat customers indoors at 25% capacity or 25 people per room, whichever is less.
Tables will be limited to no more than four people indoors or six people outdoors, and tables must be spaced 6 feet apart. Indoor service will be limited to a maximum of two hours and bars and restaurants must close by 11 p.m.
___
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden pledged in his inaugural address to level with the American people, and the message from his first three days in office has been nothing if not grim and grimmer.
He has painted a bleak picture of the country’s immediate future dealing with the coronavirus, warning Americans that it will take months, not weeks, to reorient a nation facing a historic convergence of crises.
The dire language is meant as a call to action, but it is also a deliberate effort to temper expectations. The U.S. is trying to roll out its vaccination program, with issues of slow production and distribution.
The U.S. leads the world with 24.8 million confirmed coronavirus cases and more than 415,000 deaths.

The state health secretary says 584 people are on a waiting list for hospital beds, 101 of them requiring intensive therapy.\n“People need to understand that we have to take tough measures to save as many lives as possible,” Lima said in an announcement posted on social media.\n___\nHELSINKI — Norway says its capital, Oslo, and nine municipalities have been placed under strict restrictions to contain the spread of the new variant of the coronavirus first detected in Britain.\nThe Norwegian government said shopping centers and other non-essential stores in those regions were closed at noon on Saturday, and would remain shut at least until Jan. 31.\nIn addition, organized sports activities were halted, schools were ordered to rely increasingly on remote teaching and households were requested to not invite visitors home in those specified areas.\nNorwegian health officials say the Scandinavian country of 5.4 million has so far identified some 55 cases of the virus variant which has spread widely in Britain.\nNeighboring Sweden, where the overall pandemic situation is substantially worse than in Norway, said late Saturday that it was planning to launch a temporary entry ban from Norway due to the new mutated form of COVID-19.\n___\nLAS VEGAS — Federal prosecutors have charged a Nevada man with fraudulently obtaining about $2 million in federal coronavirus relief aid, meant for small businesses, to buy luxury vehicles and condominiums in Las Vegas.\nThe Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that the U.S. attorney’s office in Nevada accused Jorge Abramovs of bank fraud after he allegedly applied for funding to at least seven banks between April and June 2020.\nThe complaint said a financial analysis determined Abramovs spent the money on personal luxury items, including a 2020 Bentley Continental GT Convertible for more than $260,000 and a 2020 Tesla Model 3 for about $55,000.\nAbramovs was ordered remanded in custody on Friday during a detention hearing.\nA defense lawyer assigned to represent Abramovs didn’t immediately respond to an emailed request by The Associated Press for comment.\n___\nCHICAGO — Restaurants and certain bars across Chicago and suburban Cook County have opened their doors to customers for the first time since late October after winning approval Saturday from Illinois health officials.\nWith the city and county moving up to Tier I of the state’s coronavirus mitigation plan, restaurants and bars that serve food can seat customers indoors at 25% capacity or 25 people per room, whichever is less.\nTables will be limited to no more than four people indoors or six people outdoors, and tables must be spaced 6 feet apart. Indoor service will be limited to a maximum of two hours and bars and restaurants must close by 11 p.m.\n___\nWASHINGTON — President Joe Biden pledged in his inaugural address to level with the American people, and the message from his first three days in office has been nothing if not grim and grimmer.\nHe has painted a bleak picture of the country’s immediate future dealing with the coronavirus, warning Americans that it will take months, not weeks, to reorient a nation facing a historic convergence of crises.\nThe dire language is meant as a call to action, but it is also a deliberate effort to temper expectations. The U.S. is trying to roll out its vaccination program, with issues of slow production and distribution.\nThe U.S. leads the world with 24.8 million confirmed coronavirus cases and more than 415,000 deaths.",

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Country star Dolly Parton said her brother Randy Parton, who sang and performed with her, as well as at her Dollywood theme park, has died. He was 67.
Parton, who turned 75 this week, said in a statement released on Thursday that her brother died of cancer. They were among 12 children in the Parton family, raised in Sevierville, Tennessee.
“We are a family of faith and we believe that he is safe with God and that he is joined by members of the family that have gone on before and have welcomed him with joy and open arms,” Parton said in a statement.
Randy Parton sang, played guitar and bass in his sister’s band, and had hosted his own show at the Tennessee theme park since the opening in 1986. He also released music on his own. Parton said her duet with him on “Old Flames Can’t Hold a Candle To You” would “always be a highlight of my own career.”
His last recording was a song with Dolly and his daughter Heidi called “You Are My Christmas” that was on Parton’s most recent Christmas album.
“He shined on it just like he’s shining in heaven now,” Parton said.

CFAUSD middle, high schoolers return to in-person learning

CHIPPEWA FALLS (WQOW)- After nearly three months of remote learning, students grade 6 and above in Chippewa Falls are finally returning to the classroom.
Middle and high school students in the Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District returned to in-person classes Monday after an extended shutdown due to increased COVID-19 spread in Chippewa County.
As we've reported, elementary schools reopened to in-person learning earlier this month.
Chi-Hi's principal says the energy she felt Monday morning when students arrived was like the first day of school all over again.
"Our staff was just so excited to connect with kids," said Donna Goodman, principal of Chippewa Falls High School. "They've been doing a great job online with their remote learning, but just seeing those general relationships and just wanting to connect with kids in-person was just wonderful."
Goodman says about 60 high school students actually had their first day of in-person learning all year Monday, after opting back into it instead of the 100% online format.
The district is now operating under a four-day in-person model, with students doing homework on their own time at home on Fridays, a format that the district hopes will limit outbreaks among faculty.
"If you have 8-12 teachers gone on any given day and a lack of subs wanting to come into the building, it's really tough to keep a school running when you're that short on staff," said Derrick Kunsman, principal of Chippewa Falls Middle School. "We're hopeful that we can keep people healthy and keep those quarantines and isolations down."
One way staff plans to prevent the spread is by getting vaccinated for COVID-19. Officials say several education staff have already received it, and the remainder of them are expected to begin vaccinations sometime in February. Goodman says a recent survey found that 89% of district staff plan on getting the vaccine.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are not only the first franchise to advance to a Super Bowl that’ll be played in its home stadium. They also made history Sunday by becoming the first to reach the NFL title game with black assistants leading the offense, defense and special teams. Offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich, defensive coordinator Todd Bowles and special teams coach Keith Armstrong were all hired by head coach Bruce Arians, who came out of retirement two years ago to take on the challenge of transforming the Bucs from perennial losers into championship contenders. Arians’ staff also includes assistant head coach/run game coordinator Harold Goodwin.

BERLIN (AP) — German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s party is choosing a new leader on Saturday, eight months before voters decide who will succeed Merkel in a national election. The new leader of the center-right Christian Democratic Union will either run for chancellor in the Sept. 26 parliamentary election or have a big say in who does run. There is no clear favorite in Saturday’s vote at an online convention of the CDU, with three main candidates who offer significant differences at least in style. They are conservative Friedrich Merz, a one-time rival to Merkel; pragmatic state governor Armin Laschet; and prominent lawmaker Norbert Roettgen.

Israeli army: Paralyzed Palestinian shot in self-defense

JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military says an internal investigation found that soldiers acted in self-defense during an incident last week in which a Palestinian man was shot and left paralyzed. The 24-year-old Haron Abu Aram was left quadriplegic after he was shot in the neck on Saturday as Israeli troops clashed with Palestinians over the demolition of a building in a West Bank village. The military spokesperson’s unit said in a statement on Thursday that the preliminary inquiry found the Israeli soldiers “faced mortal threats while carrying out enforcement activities in the area of the village of At-Tuwani” and that a stray round hit Abu Aram.

Australian Open tournament director Craig Tiley has ruled out any change in the best-of-five set format for men’s singles matches at the season-opening major as three more COVID-19 cases were reported among the international arrivals for the tournament. There was no immediate indication from health officials that there would be any increase in the 72 players now in hard quarantine and unable to practice. But in good news for players in lockdown, there were suggestions that some may be allowed to leave their rooms for practice before the 14-day hard quarantine finishes.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland officials will be sharing memories of the nation’s longest-serving state Senate president. Visitation is scheduled Friday in the rotunda of the Maryland State House, where the body of Thomas V. Mike Miller is lying in repose. He died last week at the age of 78 from cancer. Senators are scheduled to speak in remembrance of their former colleague during their legislation session Friday afternoon. Miller was a state legislator for 50 years. A Democrat, he served as president of the Maryland Senate for 33 years. He announced he was stepping down from the post in 2019, but he remained a senator until December.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Fealty to former President Donald Trump has endeared Republican Sen. Ron Johnson to the far-right base in Wisconsin, but it could prove costly if he decides to seek a third term in 2022. His embrace of Trump’s anti-democratic campaign to overturn the election results already has angered some mainstream Republican allies and is poised to motivate Democrats who have ridden opposition to Trump to new strength. Observers note that Johnson has often behaved like a senator from a solidly red state. But November’s election demonstrated that Wisconsin, which Democrat Joe Biden narrowly won, is anything but. The fight for his seat will be among the most competitive races next year.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut aquarium has agreed to delay its acquisition of five beluga whales for research amid a lawsuit by an animal rights group trying to stop the delivery. Court documents filed last month in federal court in Hartford say Mystic Aquarium will not import the whales before March 31 to allow time for a judge to decide the lawsuit. Friends of Animals filed the lawsuit in September. They say the five belugas would be harmed by the trip from their current home at a Canadian aquarium in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Mystic Aquarium says it has a safe, healthy and spacious environment for the new whales.

Bangladeshi drugmaker acquiring country's Sanofi subsidiary

DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — A leading Bangladeshi drugmaker is acquiring a majority stake in French pharmaceutical giant Sanofi’s subsidiary in Bangladesh. In a statement, Beximco Pharmaceuticals said Thursday that the acquisition is expected to be completed within the next three to nine months at a base price of more than $48 million. Sanofi has been in Bangladesh for more than 60 years but said in 2019 that it wanted to leave Bangladesh. The reason wasn’t clear, but industry insiders said it was difficult for the company to compete in the country’s burgeoning pharmaceutical sector. The rest of the company’s stakes are owned by the Bangladeshi government.

"DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — A leading Bangladeshi drugmaker is acquiring a majority stake in French pharmaceutical giant Sanofi’s subsidiary in Bangladesh. In a statement, Beximco Pharmaceuticals said Thursday that the acquisition is expected to be completed within the next three to nine months at a base price of more than $48 million. Sanofi has been in Bangladesh for more than 60 years but said in 2019 that it wanted to leave Bangladesh. The reason wasn’t clear, but industry insiders said it was difficult for the company to compete in the country’s burgeoning pharmaceutical sector. The rest of the company’s stakes are owned by the Bangladeshi government.",

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams won’t have leading receiver Cooper Kupp available for their NFC divisional playoff game against the top-seeded Green Bay Packers.

Kupp had 92 catches for 974 yards in the regular season to lead the Rams in both categories. The Rams also will be missing usual starting left guard David Edwards because of an ankle injury. Green Bay is missing defensive lineman Kingsley Keke as he recovers from a concussion.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kirill Kaprizov scored his first NHL goal with 1:13 remaining in overtime and finished with three points as the Minnesota Wild rallied for a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings in the season opener for both teams. The 23-year-old Russian scored on a breakaway, putting the puck past Los Angeles goalie Jonathan Quick. Kaprizov, the third Russian-born player to make his NHL debut with the Wild, also had a pair of assists. He was a fifth-round selection by Minnesota in 2015 before signing a two-year, entry-level contract last summer. Minnesota trailed 3-1 after two periods.

UK vaccination drive expands as virus toll nears 100,000

LONDON (AP) — Britain is expanding a coronavirus vaccination program that has seen almost 6 million people get the first of two doses — even as the country’s death toll in the pandemic approaches 100,000. Health Secretary Matt Hancock said Sunday that three-quarters of the U.K.’s over-80s have received a vaccine shot. He said three-quarters of nursing home residents have also had their first jab. Almost 5.9 million doses of vaccine had been administered by Saturday. Health officials aim to give first shots to 15 million people, including everyone over 70, by Feb. 15. Britain’s vaccination campaign is a rare success in a country with Europe’s worst confirmed coronavirus outbreak. The U.K. has recorded 97,329 virus deaths, the fifth highest in the world.

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — The demobilized guerrilla group known as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia has changed the name of its political party in a bid to perform better with voters in next year’s congressional elections. The FARC’s party will now be known as Comunes, which translates roughly to commoners or commons. Leaders acknowledged that the FARC name “generates resistance in some sectors of society.” As part of a 2016 peace deal with Colombia’s government that ended five decades of war, the FARC was allowed to register a political party and was also given 10 guaranteed seats in Congress for eight years.

BEIRUT (AP) — Former Renault-Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn says that French investigators are coming to question him in Lebanon over some legal challenges in France, asking why don’t the Japanese do the same thing. Ghosn’s comments aired Monday came two weeks after a Lebanese justice ministry official said a team of French investigators will come to Beirut in January to participate in interrogating the former auto executives. Ghosn, who is a Lebanese, Brazilian and French national, fled Japan in a dramatic escape that drew headlines in late 2019, arriving in Lebanon on Dec. 30, that year.

Eau Claire woman sentenced for stealing $33K from Sam Davey PTA, other organizations

EAU CLAIRE COUNTY (WQOW) - The Eau Claire woman accused of stealing from three local organizations pleaded guilty to two of the charges against her.
Christine Busse was accused of stealing nearly $33,000 while serving as the treasurer of the Same Davey Elementary PTA and the Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops.
Authorities said she would write checks to herself, not deposit fundraiser money and even run bar tabs on the Girl Scouts account.
When confronted, Busse said she planned to pay it back but it got out of hand.
Judge Emily Long ordered Busse to do nine weeks of community service, pay back the money at $1,000 per month and not serve as treasurer of any organizations.
If she complies, and doesn't break any laws for three years, one felony charge will be dismissed and the other will be reduced to misdemeanor theft.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial is likely to begin after Joe Biden’s inauguration next week. This as the Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, is telling senators their decision on whether or not to convict Trump over the Capitol riot will be a “vote of conscience.” The timing for the trial has not yet been set. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is making it clear that Democrats intend to move swiftly on Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus and economic aid package. Pelosi called the recovery package a “matter of complete urgency.” Impeachment proceedings could still begin by Inauguration Day if Pelosi sends the article to the Senate by early next week. The House impeached Trump on a charge of “incitement of insurrection.”

PARIS (AP) — Ending the confusion over the fate of Paris Fashion Week, French fashion’s regulatory body says this month’s men’s and haute couture shows will be strictly audience-free over coronavirus fears.

In a statement to AP, it said Monday “we confirm that there can be no public gatherings” at Paris Fashion Week, adding that “houses can still organize ‘real’ runway shows with models broadcast live, provided that their events take place behind closed doors.”

PARIS (AP) — U.S. President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron agreed Sunday to work closely together to fight the coronavirus pandemic and climate change. Their first conversation since Biden’s inauguration aimed at mending ties between the historic allies that frayed under Donald Trump. Biden “stressed his commitment to bolstering the transatlantic relationship” via NATO and the EU. The U.S. and French leaders see eye-to-eye on the importance of international cooperation to fight climate change and COVID-19 and in negotiating with Iran. But Macron’s office said the two wouldn’t shy away from thorny issues like trade disputes or taxing digital companies such as Google or Amazon.

The Latest: Japan declares state of emergency in Tokyo area
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
TOKYO — Japan has declared a state of emergency for Tokyo and three nearby areas as coronavirus cases continue to surge, hitting a daily record of 2,447 in the capital.
Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga issued the declaration at the government task force for the coronavirus. It kicks in Friday until Feb. 7, and centers around asking restaurants and bars to close at 8 p.m. and people to stay home and not mingle in crowds.
The declaration carries no penalties. But it works as a strong request while Japan juggles to keep the economy going.
Shopping malls and schools will remain open. Movie theaters, museums and other events will be asked to reduce attendance. Places that defy the request will get publicized on a list, while those that comply will be eligible for aid, according to officials.
Coronavirus cases have been surging in Japan after the year-end and New Year’s holidays.

THE VIRUS OUTBREAK:
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar says the government will begin allowing more drugstores to start giving shots to speed coronavirus vaccinations. Some governors and other politicians are turning up the pressure after a slow rollout of the coronavirus vaccines. Dr. Anthony Fauci believes the U.S. could soon give 1 million vaccinations a day. The U.S. reports 29 severe allergic reactions to the vaccines.
The European Union has given approval to the Moderna vaccine. The decision gives the 27-nation bloc a second vaccine to use against the coronavirus. The U.K. says it has vaccinated 1.3 million people and plans to have almost 1,000 vaccination centers operating by the end of this week.

HERE’S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:
PRAGUE — Coronavirus infections in the Czech Republic have hit a new all-time high for a second straight day, prompting the government to extent a current lockdown.
The Health Ministry reported 17,668 new cases on Wednesday, about 300 more than the previous record set a day earlier.
Infections, which have been on the rise since early December, started to surge again this week after slowing during New Year holidays.
Health Minister Jan Blatny said the government on Thursday extended the lockdown until Jan 22. The restrictions were originally scheduled to end Sunday.
The country of 10.7 million has had 794,740 confirmed cases, including 12,621 deaths.
___
SEOUL, South Korea __ South Korea says it will extend its ban on incoming flights from Britain for two more weeks until Jan. 21.
Authorities said Thursday they’ve found three additional cases of the more contagious variant of the coronavirus identified in the U.K, taking the total to 14. South Korea has also found one case of a coronavirus variant detected in South Africa.
All foreigners entering South Korea will be required to submit negative COVID-19 test results starting Friday.
Officials say a recent outbreak appears to have peaked because they aren’t seeing a further upsurge in infections. The country reported 870 new cases on Thursday, the third day in a row that the figure has been below 1,000. The new cases took the national caseload to 66,688 with 1,046 deaths.
South Korea on Monday extended its second-highest social distancing rules, called “Tier 2.5,” in the greater Seoul area and the third-highest rules in other areas for two more weeks.
___
CANBERRA, Australia — Australia is advancing the start of its coronavirus vaccination program to mid-February, with plans to inoculate 15% of the population by late March.
The government had argued there was no reason for an emergency rollout that cut short usual regulatory processes as has occurred in the United States and elsewhere because local transmission rates in Australia are much lower. It had planned to start vaccinating in March.
But Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Thursday he expects the Pfizer vaccine will be delivered two weeks after the Australian regulator approves it in late January. He said that “it is moving considerably faster than normal.”
Morrison says the goal is to give 80,000 shots a week and have 4 million of Australia’s 26 million people vaccinated by the end of March.
___
MEXICO CITY — Mexico has reported a new high for a daily increase in coronavirus cases, with 13,345 newly confirmed infections reported Wednesday for the previous 24 hours. Officials also reported a near-record of 1,165 deaths related to COVID-19.
The country has now seen about 1.48 million infections and almost 130,000 deaths so far in the pandemic. A low testing rate means that is an undercount, and official estimates suggest the real death toll is over 180,000.
Mexico’s vaccination effort continues at a glacial rate, with about 7,500 shots administered Wednesday, a rate similar to previous days. In Mexico City, the current center of the pandemic in the country, 88% percent of hospital beds are full.

BEIJING — New coronavirus cases in northern China’s Hebei province have more than doubled as officials move to lock down an area that is home to about 75 million people.
Officials announced 51 new cases Thursday, bringing Hebei’s total to 90 since Sunday. Most of the cases have been in Shijiazhuang, the provincial capital that is due to host some events of next year’s Winter Olympics.
Rail, air and highway connections to Shijiazhuang have been suspended, control measures tightened for urban communities and villages in the region, and classes have been suspended.
Authorities have imposed similarly tight measures in the cities of Shenyang and Dalian in Liaoning province just to the north.
Wary of a new wave of infections, China is discouraging travel for next month’s Lunar New Year holiday and beginning school holidays a week early.
___
MONTREAL — Quebec’s premier is imposing a provincewide 8 p.m. curfew beginning Saturday as a way to curb surging coronavirus infections and hospitalizations.
The province will become the first in Canada to impose a curfew for addressing the pandemic.
Premier Francois Legault spoke of the need to take drastic action as he announced a four-week curfew prohibiting people from leaving their homes between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. unless they are going to work.
He says officials have concluded the virus is being spread through gatherings in residences, and the curfew is meant to prevent that.
___
JERUSALEM — The Israeli Cabinet has agreed to tighten a lockdown in hopes of slowing a raging coronavirus outbreak.
Most schools and businesses will be closed, public gatherings restricted and public transportation limited for a two-week period beginning at midnight Thursday night. Thousands of police are expected to be deployed to enforce the closure.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office announced the decision late Wednesday.
Israel has jumped out to a fast start in vaccinating its population, inoculating 15% of its 9 million people in just over two weeks. But at the same time, it is facing one of the world’s highest rates of coronavirus infections.
Israel’s Health Ministry has reported over 462,000 cases of the coronavirus, including more than 8,000 new cases on Wednesday. It also has reported over 3,500 deaths.

The drugstore chains CVS and Walgreens both said Wednesday that they expect to finish delivering the first round of COVID-19 vaccine doses at nursing homes on schedule by January 25.
CVS said it was roughly halfway done as of Tuesday. It is working with 7,822 nursing homes nationwide and had completed nearly 4,000 first-dose clinics.
All told, CVS said it has administered 351,231 vaccines in nursing homes as of Tuesday, including nearly 30,000 in big states like California and Florida.
There are more than 15,000 nursing homes nationally, and the drugstore chains focused first on vaccinating at those locations in part because residents there are more vulnerable and require more care than people staying at other long-term care locations.
CVS and Walgreens also are expanding their vaccine delivery into those other locations, which include assisted living facilities. CVS said it has completed nearly 700 first-dose clinics at those locations and administered more than 26,000 shots.
But the drugstore chain said it was still waiting on eight states — Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Wisconsin — to set start dates before it can begin working in those locations.

"TOKYO — Japan has declared a state of emergency for Tokyo and three nearby areas as coronavirus cases continue to surge, hitting a daily record of 2,447 in the capital.\nPrime Minister Yoshihide Suga issued the declaration at the government task force for the coronavirus. It kicks in Friday until Feb. 7, and centers around asking restaurants and bars to close at 8 p.m. and people to stay home and not mingle in crowds.\nThe declaration carries no penalties. But it works as a strong request while Japan juggles to keep the economy going.\nShopping malls and schools will remain open. Movie theaters, museums and other events will be asked to reduce attendance. Places that defy the request will get publicized on a list, while those that comply will be eligible for aid, according to officials.\nCoronavirus cases have been surging in Japan after the year-end and New Year’s holidays.\n___\nTHE VIRUS OUTBREAK:\nHealth and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar says the government will begin allowing more drugstores to start giving shots to speed coronavirus vaccinations. Some governors and other politicians are turning up the pressure after a slow rollout of the coronavirus vaccines. Dr. Anthony Fauci believes the U.S. could soon give 1 million vaccinations a day. The U.S. reports 29 severe allergic reactions to the vaccines.\nThe European Union has given approval to the Moderna vaccine. The decision gives the 27-nation bloc a second vaccine to use against the coronavirus. The U.K. says it has vaccinated 1.3 million people and plans to have almost 1,000 vaccination centers operating by the end of this week.\n— Follow AP’s 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:\nPRAGUE — Coronavirus infections in the Czech Republic have hit a new all-time high for a second straight day, prompting the government to extent a current lockdown.\nThe Health Ministry reported 17,668 new cases on Wednesday, about 300 more than the previous record set a day earlier.\nInfections, which have been on the rise since early December, started to surge again this week after slowing during New Year holidays.\nHealth Minister Jan Blatny said the government on Thursday extended the lockdown until Jan 22. The restrictions were originally scheduled to end Sunday.\nThe country of 10.7 million has had 794,740 confirmed cases, including 12,621 deaths.\n___\nSEOUL, South Korea __ South Korea says it will extend its ban on incoming flights from Britain for two more weeks until Jan. 21.\nAuthorities said Thursday they’ve found three additional cases of the more contagious variant of the coronavirus identified in the U.K, taking the total to 14. South Korea has also found one case of a coronavirus variant detected in South Africa.\nAll foreigners entering South Korea will be required to submit negative COVID-19 test results starting Friday.\nOfficials say a recent outbreak appears to have peaked because they aren’t seeing a further upsurge in infections. The country reported 870 new cases on Thursday, the third day in a row that the figure has been below 1,000. The new cases took the national caseload to 66,688 with 1,046 deaths.\nSouth Korea on Monday extended its second-highest social distancing rules, called “Tier 2.5,” in the greater Seoul area and the third-highest rules in other areas for two more weeks.\n___\nCANBERRA, Australia — Australia is advancing the start of its coronavirus vaccination program to mid-February, with plans to inoculate 15% of the population by late March.\nThe government had argued there was no reason for an emergency rollout that cut short usual regulatory processes as has occurred in the United States and elsewhere because local transmission rates in Australia are much lower. It had planned to start vaccinating in March.\nBut Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Thursday he expects the Pfizer vaccine will be delivered two weeks after the Australian regulator approves it in late January. He said that “it is moving considerably faster than normal.”\nMorrison says the goal is to give 80,000 shots a week and have 4 million of Australia’s 26 million people vaccinated by the end of March.\n___\nMEXICO CITY — Mexico has reported a new high for a daily increase in coronavirus cases, with 13,345 newly confirmed infections reported Wednesday for the previous 24 hours. Officials also reported a near-record of 1,165 deaths related to COVID-19.\nThe country has now seen about 1.48 million infections and almost 130,000 deaths so far in the pandemic. A low testing rate means that is an undercount, and official estimates suggest the real death toll is over 180,000.\nMexico’s vaccination effort continues at a glacial rate, with about 7,500 shots administered Wednesday, a rate similar to previous days. In Mexico City, the current center of the pandemic in the country, 88% percent of hospital beds are full.\n___\nBEIJING — New coronavirus cases in northern China’s Hebei province have more than doubled as officials move to lock down an area that is home to about 75 million people.\nOfficials announced 51 new cases Thursday, bringing Hebei’s total to 90 since Sunday. Most of the cases have been in Shijiazhuang, the provincial capital that is due to host some events of next year’s Winter Olympics.\nRail, air and highway connections to Shijiazhuang have been suspended, control measures tightened for urban communities and villages in the region, and classes have been suspended.\nAuthorities have imposed similarly tight measures in the cities of Shenyang and Dalian in Liaoning province just to the north.\nWary of a new wave of infections, China is discouraging travel for next month’s Lunar New Year holiday and beginning school holidays a week early.\n___\nMONTREAL — Quebec’s premier is imposing a provincewide 8 p.m. curfew beginning Saturday as a way to curb surging coronavirus infections and hospitalizations.\nThe province will become the first in Canada to impose a curfew for addressing the pandemic.\nPremier Francois Legault spoke of the need to take drastic action as he announced a four-week curfew prohibiting people from leaving their homes between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. unless they are going to work.\nHe says officials have concluded the virus is being spread through gatherings in residences, and the curfew is meant to prevent that.\n___\nJERUSALEM — The Israeli Cabinet has agreed to tighten a lockdown in hopes of slowing a raging coronavirus outbreak.\nMost schools and businesses will be closed, public gatherings restricted and public transportation limited for a two-week period beginning at midnight Thursday night. Thousands of police are expected to be deployed to enforce the closure.\nPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office announced the decision late Wednesday.\nIsrael has jumped out to a fast start in vaccinating its population, inoculating 15% of its 9 million people in just over two weeks. But at the same time, it is facing one of the world’s highest rates of coronavirus infections.\nIsrael’s Health Ministry has reported over 462,000 cases of the coronavirus, including more than 8,000 new cases on Wednesday. It also has reported over 3,500 deaths.\n___\nThe drugstore chains CVS and Walgreens both said Wednesday that they expect to finish delivering the first round of COVID-19 vaccine doses at nursing homes on schedule by January 25.\nCVS said it was roughly halfway done as of Tuesday. It is working with 7,822 nursing homes nationwide and had completed nearly 4,000 first-dose clinics.\nAll told, CVS said it has administered 351,231 vaccines in nursing homes as of Tuesday, including nearly 30,000 in big states like California and Florida.\nThere are more than 15,000 nursing homes nationally, and the drugstore chains focused first on vaccinating at those locations in part because residents there are more vulnerable and require more care than people staying at other long-term care locations.\nCVS and Walgreens also are expanding their vaccine delivery into those other locations, which include assisted living facilities. CVS said it has completed nearly 700 first-dose clinics at those locations and administered more than 26,000 shots.\nBut the drugstore chain said it was still waiting on eight states — Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Wisconsin — to set start dates before it can begin working in those locations.",

The Atlanta Dream are close to being sold, ending defeated Sen. Kelly Loeffler’s contentious stint as a WNBA owner. The league said in a statement that a sale of the franchise was close to being finalized. Players around the league have called for Loeffler to sell her 49% stake in the Dream after she wrote a letter to WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert over the summer objecting to the league’s initiatives to advocate for racial justice and the Black Lives Matter movement. Loeffler is a Republican who was appointed to her Georgia Senate seat by President Donald Trump. She lost a runoff election to Democrat Raphael Warnock.

Oil companies lock in drilling, challenging Biden on climate
| null | null |

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — In the closing months of the Trump administration, energy companies stockpiled enough drilling permits for western public lands to keep pumping oil for years. That stands to undercut President-elect Joe Biden’s plans to block new drilling on public lands to address climate change. An Associated Press analysis of government data shows the permit stockpiling has centered on oil-rich federal lands in New Mexico and Wyoming and accelerated in September and October as Biden was cementing his lead over President Donald Trump. The industry was aided by speedier permitting approvals since Trump took office.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin city is bracing for another round of protests as prosecutors prepare to announce whether they’ll charge a white police officer who shot a Black man and left him paralyzed. Kenosha Police Officer Rusten Sheskey opened fire on Jacob Blake in August after responding to a domestic dispute. The shooting triggered several nights of protests. Some of the demonstrations turned violent, with an Illinois teen opening fire on three people, killing two of them. Prosecutors are expected to announce whether they’ll charge Sheskey any day. Gov. Tony Evers has activated the National Guard. Blake’s family says they don’t think Sheskey will be charged and people need to “make noise.”

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (AP) — Authorities in Northern California say a dozen children participating in a sailing school had to be rescued after a large swell of frigid, choppy water overturned several small boats. The Santa Cruz Fire Department says the sailing school was in session at around 4:30 p.m. Sunday off the coast when a large wave capsized about four vessels. Officials say about 20 people were tossed into the water, including 12 children. News outlets report a warning had been issued earlier Sunday advising of waves that could reach up to 25 feet or higher. Battalion Chief Daniel Kline says rescue teams pulled the children to safety. No injuries were reported.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma has launched a centennial remembrance of a once-thriving African American neighborhood in Tulsa decimated by deadly white violence. The city’s Greenwood District has received growing recognition during America’s reckoning over police brutality and racial violence. On Friday, Emmy Award-winning actress and Tulsa native Alfre Woodard and U.S. Sen. James Lankford both delivered remarks via video to a small crowd that gathered at the John Hope Franklin Reconciliation Park. Violence erupted May 31 and June 1 in 1921, when a white mob killed an estimated 300 people and wounded 800 while burning 30 blocks of Black-owned businesses and homes.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal law enforcement officials are examining a number of threats aimed at members of Congress as the second trial of former President Donald Trump nears. That’s according to a U.S. official briefed on the matter who spoke to The Associated Press on Sunday. Part of the concern is ominous chatter about killing legislators or attacking them outside of the U.S. Capitol. The threats and concern armed protesters could return to the Capitol have prompted federal law enforcement officials to insist that thousands of National Guard troops remain in Washington in the coming weeks. Trump’s Senate trial on a charge of inciting a violent insurrection is set to begin the week of Feb. 8.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police say at least seven people were arrested after a group vandalized federal buildings in downtown Philadelphia on New Year’s Eve. Police said Friday that officers spotted about 50 people dressed in black around 8:30 p.m. Thursday at the historic U.S. Customs House. Windows there were smashed. A man was also seen throwing a brick through windows at a federal building and courthouse. Anti-police and anti-prison graffiti were scrawled there and a nearby sheriff’s van was defaced and damaged. Authorities say officers recovered Molotov cocktails and suspicious devices.

LONDON (AP) — More than 100,000 people have died in the United Kingdom after contracting the coronavirus. That’s according to government figures released Tuesday. Britain is the fifth country in the world to pass that mark, after the United States, Brazil, India and Mexico, and by far the smallest. The U.S. has recorded more than 400,000 COVID-19 deaths, the world’s highest total, but its population of about 330 million is about five times Britain’s. The U.K. toll is 30,000 more than the total number of British civilians killed during the six years of World War II. Prime Minister Boris Johnson says a public inquiry will study the U.K. response and learn lessons “in due course.”

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — An aspiring rapper who performed under the name “Dank Frank” won’t spend any more time in jail for burning down two rental houses owned by South Carolina’s governor. A judge sentenced 23-year-old Frank Wilberding to the more than 600 days he has spent in the Richland County jail awaiting trial on arson and other charges. Prosecutors said Wilberding burned the homes near the University of South Carolina in May 2019 because of a dispute with the tenets. No one was injured in the fires, and Wilberding said he had no idea that Gov. Henry McMaster owned the properties. A spokesman for the governor did not comment on the case.

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Heavy fighting has broken out in a Somali town near the Kenyan border between Somali forces and those from the state of Jubbaland as Somalia’s election troubles spill over into violence. Somalia’s information ministry accuses Kenya-funded rebels of crossing into the town of Bulo Hawo and attacking Somali forces. But the Jubbaland vice president tells reporters that Jubbaland forces stationed outside the town were attacked by what he called forces recently deployed to the region by the Somali government. Both sides have claimed victory but people in the town said fighting continued and some people had begun to flee.

"MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Heavy fighting has broken out in a Somali town near the Kenyan border between Somali forces and those from the state of Jubbaland as Somalia’s election troubles spill over into violence. Somalia’s information ministry accuses Kenya-funded rebels of crossing into the town of Bulo Hawo and attacking Somali forces. But the Jubbaland vice president tells reporters that Jubbaland forces stationed outside the town were attacked by what he called forces recently deployed to the region by the Somali government. Both sides have claimed victory but people in the town said fighting continued and some people had begun to flee.",

Intelligence official 'disappointed' after ouster by Trump

WASHINGTON (AP) — The ousted inspector general of the intelligence community says he is “disappointed and saddened” that President Donald Trump has fired him. Michael Atkinson is also encouraging other inspectors general to continue to speak out when they are aware of wrongdoing. Trump has notified Congress that he’s firing Atkinson because he has lost confidence in him. The president later connected the firing to Atkinson having forwarded a whistleblower complaint to Congress that led to the president’s impeachment. In a statement Sunday, Atkinson said it’s hard not to think that Trump’s loss of confidence derives from him having faithfully discharged his legal obligations as an independent and impartial inspector general.

Vaccine appointments canceled amid confusion over supply
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
An increasing number of COVID-19 vaccination sites around the U.S. are canceling appointments because of vaccine shortages in a rollout so rife with confusion that even the new CDC director admitted over the weekend that she doesn’t know exactly how many shots are in the pipeline. States are expected to find out their latest weekly allocation of vaccines on Tuesday. For days now, governors and top health officials have been complaining about inadequate supplies and the need for earlier and more reliable estimates of how much is on the way so that they can plan accordingly.

BEIJING (AP) — China’s Foreign Ministry is describing outgoing U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as a “doomsday clown” and says his designation of China as a perpetrator of genocide and crimes against humanity is merely “a piece of wastepaper.” Spokesperson Hua Chunying says the allegations of abuses against Muslim minority groups in China’s Xinjiang region are “a malicious farce concocted by individual anti-China and anti-Communist forces represented by Pompeo.” Pompeo’s announcement doesn’t require any immediate actions, although the U.S. must take the designation into account in formulating policy toward China. China says its policies in Xinjiang aim only to promote economic growth and social stability.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — California hospitals struggling with a skyrocketing coronavirus surge are trying to prepare for the possibility that they may have to ration care for lack of staff and beds. The state reported its second-highest number of daily coronavirus deaths Wednesday with 459 lives lost, with more than a quarter-million new COVID-19 cases reported each week. The virus is raging out of control across the nation in the wake of Thanksgiving holiday gatherings that authorities say vastly spread infections. Only Arizona tops California in cases per resident. In Los Angeles County, Methodist Hospital of Southern California convened an in-house triage team to decide how to distribute resources, although it isn’t yet rationing care.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. home construction jumped 5.8% in December to 1.67 million units, ending a strong year for home building. The Commerce Department reported that the better-than-expected gain followed an increase of 9.8% in November. Housing has been one of the star performers this year even as the overall economy has been wracked by the coronavirus. Record-low mortgage rates and the desire of many people to move to larger homes during the extended stay-at-home period has fueled demand.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece’s prime minister says his country will ramp up the speed of its coronavirus vaccination drive. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Friday that Greece is aiming to vaccinate about 8,000 people or more per day compared to the current 5,000 per day. He mentioned the goal on Friday at the start of a government meeting on COVID-19. Greece began vaccinations with the Pfizer vaccine in late December, when the prime minister, head of the opposition party and other top government and state officials were vaccinated. So far, just over 26,000 people have received a first dose of the two-shot vaccine, according to government statistics.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — The family of a prominent separatist leader from disputed Kashmir who is being held in an Indian jail for alleged anti-state activities has appealed to the United Nations for help in securing her release. Ahmad bin Qasim, the son of Aasiyeh Andrabi, who heads an Islamic women’s group in Indian-controlled Kashmir, was joined by Pakistan rights minister Shireen Mazari in issuing the appeal at a rare news conference in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad. Andrabi and two other activists, Sofi Fahmeeda and Nahida Nasreen, were charged by a court in India last month.

TRIPOLI, Lebanon (AP) — A cautious calm prevails in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli after a violent night that saw rioters set fire to several buildings. The fires capped days of confrontations, as anger over growing poverty made worse by the coronavirus lockdown boiled over. Lebanese troops have been deployed in the country’s second-largest city in an effort to quell the rioting. The riots have led to repeated confrontations with security forces. One person has been killed and more than 250 have been others injured. The protests target the strict lockdown measures but also reflect growing anger over the authorities’ indifference in the face of Lebanon’s economic meltdown.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has signed an executive order revoking a Pentagon policy that largely barred transgender individuals from joining the military. The new order, which Biden signed during a meeting Monday with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, overturns a ban ordered by President Donald Trump. It also immediately prohibits any service member from being forced out of the military on the basis of gender identity. Biden’s order says that gender identity should not be a bar to military service. “America is stronger, at home and around the world, when it is inclusive. The military is no exception,” the order says.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The North Carolina-based department store chain Belk says it will file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Charlotte Observer reports that private equity firm Sycamore Partners made the announcement on Tuesday. The firm owns Belk and says it will continue with “normal operations” as it goes through bankruptcy. Sycamore Partners says it expects to emerge from bankruptcy by the end of February. The 133-year-old chain grew from the opening of a store in Monroe, North Carolina, in 1888. The Belk family sold the chain for $3 billion in 2015. Belk has more than 20,000 employees at its nearly 300 stores in 16 Southeastern states.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says there will be an “orderly transition on January 20th” now that Congress has concluded the electoral vote count certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. Trump issued a statement early Thursday acknowledging his term in office is coming to a close just minutes after Congress certified his loss to Biden. Trump says he totally disagrees with the outcome of the election, and claims falsely that the facts bear him out. The final action of the presidential election comes after Trump appeared to excuse the violent occupation of the U.S. Capitol by his supporters on Wednesday.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Hundreds of protesters braved a cold night in Jerusalem to press on with their calls for the Israeli prime minister to step down over corruption charges against him. Demonstrators gathered at a Jerusalem square near Benjamin Netanyahu’s official residence. The weekly protests have been taking place for over seven months. Netanyahu is charged with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in three cases involving billionaire associates and media moguls, charges that he denies. The protesters insist Netanyahu cannot properly lead the country while under indictment for corruption. The protesters also say Netanyahu and his government have bungled the coronavirus response.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Marquette’s men’s basketball team wore black uniforms in support of a Black man shot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, by a police officer last summer after it was announced Tuesday no charges would be filed, and the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks said they plan to continue pushing for policy changes in law enforcement.
Jacob Blake, who is Black, was left paralyzed after being shot on Aug 23 by officer Rusten Sheskey, who is white.
Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Graveley announced Tuesday that no charges would be filed because he couldn’t disprove Sheskey’s contention that he acted in self-defense out of fear that Blake would stab him.

Twitter bans Trump, citing risk of incitement

WASHINGTON (AP) — Twitter says it is banning President Donald Trump from its platform, citing “risk of further incitement of violence.”
The social media giant said Friday: “After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them — specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter — we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.”
Trump was locked out of his account on his preferred social medial platform for 12 hours earlier this week after a violent mob loyal to him stormed the U.S. Capitol to try to stop Congress from affirming President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
Trump posted a video on Twitter calling them “very special” people and saying he loved them. Five people died, including a Capitol Police officer.

States lift restrictions gradually amid fears of new variant

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Several states are loosening their coronavirus restrictions on restaurants and other businesses because of improved infection and hospitalization numbers but are moving cautiously, in part because of the more contagious variant taking hold. While the easing could cause case rates to rise, health experts say it can work if done in a measured way and if the public remains vigilant. The COVID-19 death toll in the U.S. has climbed past 425,000, with the number of dead running at close to all-time highs at nearly 3,350 a day on average. But newly confirmed cases have dropped over the past two weeks.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is declining to get involved in a case about free speech outside a Pittsburgh abortion clinic. The high court turned away the case Monday. The court’s decision not to hear the case leaves in place a 2019 appeals court decision that upheld a Pittsburgh ordinance creating a 15-foot “buffer zone” where protests are barred around entrances to health care facilities. The decision by the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals allowed “sidewalk counseling” within that zone.

SOMERSET, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts police officer is winning praise for providing Christmas dinner for two women accused of trying to steal groceries for their children. Officer Matt Lima responded to a report of shoplifting Dec. 20 at Stop & Shop. Two women with two young children were accused of bagging groceries at a self-checkout kiosk without scanning them. The women said they had fallen upon hard times and wanted to provide a Christmas dinner for the children. Lima says he was reminded of his own children and decided not to charge them. Instead, he used his own money to buy $250 grocery gift cards.

Vaccine roll out struggles faced by rural health care systems
| null | null |
wqow.com

BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis. (WQOW) - Several more groups of Wisconsinites will soon be eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Tuesday, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services announced the next phase of vaccinations will go to an array of essential workers: education and child care, individuals enrolled in Medicaid long-term care programs, some public-facing essential workers, non-frontline health care essential personnel, and facility staff and residents in congregate living settings.
State health officials said these new groups will be eligible once half the population of phase 1-B is vaccinated.
The tentative start date for this phase is March 1, however, some rural western Wisconsin health care systems are finding it difficult to stay on track as the eligible population grows.
At Black River Memorial Hospital in Jackson County, getting COVID-19 vaccines into people's arms is getting more and more difficult as a bigger population is now set to be eligible.
"We don't really have the opportunity to increase our staffing, we've already increased it for our response to COVID," said the hospital's president and CEO, Mary Beth White-Jacobs.
White-Jacobs said the logistics of living in a rural area make it difficult to get the community vaccinated in a timely manner before the next phase rolls out.
"It may be their [employees] one and only day off and they might live an hour away from the hospital," White-Jacobs said. "Once you mix that vial of vaccine up, you've gotta give all 10 doses that are in there. And if you can't get the employees in, then it starts to become a little bit of a struggle."
White-Jacobs noted the biggest problem is the lack of vaccines allotted each week, which is currently around 70,000 statewide.
Officials from the Wisconsin Department of Health said in some parts of the state, rural vaccine distribution is actually more efficient than in populated areas because there are fewer people to vaccinate.
"I know it varies from community to community and resource to resource, how many staff are in their local health department, how many staff are in their local healthcare system," said Julie Willems Van Dijk, the deputy secretary for the Wisconsin DHS.
But for communities like Black River Falls, the DHS is making sure there are additional resources to keep the distribution process on track.
"However, one of the things that we have done to supplement every community, whether they're very small or big, and have the needs met to increase vaccination is the new mobile vaccination teams that we just launched last week," Willems Van Dijk said. "And this is very similar to the test teams we put together earlier in the pandemic to support enhancing health systems and public health across the state."
Those mobile vaccination teams can be requested by local health departments needing further distibution assistance.

"BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis. (WQOW) - Several more groups of Wisconsinites will soon be eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine.\nTuesday, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services announced the next phase of vaccinations will go to an array of essential workers: education and child care, individuals enrolled in Medicaid long-term care programs, some public-facing essential workers, non-frontline health care essential personnel, and facility staff and residents in congregate living settings.\nState health officials said these new groups will be eligible once half the population of phase 1-B is vaccinated.\nThe tentative start date for this phase is March 1, however, some rural western Wisconsin health care systems are finding it difficult to stay on track as the eligible population grows.\nAt Black River Memorial Hospital in Jackson County, getting COVID-19 vaccines into people's arms is getting more and more difficult as a bigger population is now set to be eligible.\n\"We don't really have the opportunity to increase our staffing, we've already increased it for our response to COVID,\" said the hospital's president and CEO, Mary Beth White-Jacobs.\nWhite-Jacobs said the logistics of living in a rural area make it difficult to get the community vaccinated in a timely manner before the next phase rolls out.\n\"It may be their [employees] one and only day off and they might live an hour away from the hospital,\" White-Jacobs said. \"Once you mix that vial of vaccine up, you've gotta give all 10 doses that are in there. And if you can't get the employees in, then it starts to become a little bit of a struggle.\"\nWhite-Jacobs noted the biggest problem is the lack of vaccines allotted each week, which is currently around 70,000 statewide.\nOfficials from the Wisconsin Department of Health said in some parts of the state, rural vaccine distribution is actually more efficient than in populated areas because there are fewer people to vaccinate.\n\"I know it varies from community to community and resource to resource, how many staff are in their local health department, how many staff are in their local healthcare system,\" said Julie Willems Van Dijk, the deputy secretary for the Wisconsin DHS.\nBut for communities like Black River Falls, the DHS is making sure there are additional resources to keep the distribution process on track.\n\"However, one of the things that we have done to supplement every community, whether they're very small or big, and have the needs met to increase vaccination is the new mobile vaccination teams that we just launched last week,\" Willems Van Dijk said. \"And this is very similar to the test teams we put together earlier in the pandemic to support enhancing health systems and public health across the state.\"\nThose mobile vaccination teams can be requested by local health departments needing further distibution assistance.\nMore COVID-19 Resources\nMore WQOW COVID-19 Coverage\nCounty by County COVID-19 Data\nEau Claire County vaccine signup\nWisconsin Vaccination Data\nCDC Resources\nGlobal COVID-19 Tracker",

Missouri congressman defends 'A-woman' end to prayer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver says he was caught off guard by the negative response after he ended his opening prayer on the first day of the new Congress by saying the words, “Amen and A-woman.” Cleaver, a United Methodist minister and former mayor of Kansas City, Missouri, is in his ninth term in Congress. Cleaver told the Kansas City Star that his “A-woman” reference on Sunday was intended to recognize the record number of women serving in the new Congress. But it spurred criticism from conservatives who accused Cleaver of misunderstanding the meaning of “amen,” a Hebrew word that means “so be it.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Rioters are facing repercussions at work for their participation in storming the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday. Some business owners are being trashed on social media and their establishments boycotted. Rank-and-file employees at other businesses have been fired. More than 90 people have been arrested since Wednesday when loyalists to outgoing President Donald Trump disrupted lawmakers as they met to confirm the Electoral College results and President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. People on social media have been trying to identify rioters photographed or filmed at the Capitol Wednesday, pressuring companies to fire those employees.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — An organization that promotes efforts to adapt the environment to cope with the effects of climate change is calling on governments and financers around the globe to include funding for adaptation projects in their COVID-19 recovery spending. The appeal was published Friday in a report issued by the Netherlands-based Global Center on Adaptation ahead of an online summit starting Monday that will launch an agenda for boosting the planet’s resilience. The center says that as governments invest in pandemic recovery, “the world has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a more resilient, climate-smart future by integrating climate adaptation into their response and recovery plans.”

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — An owner of a large pork production company that disproportionately benefited from an Iowa coronavirus aid program donated $25,000 to Gov. Kim Reynolds’ campaign last month. Mary Ann Christensen is a board member of Christensen Farms, one of the nation’s largest family-owned pork producers. The $25,000 campaign donation she gave Reynolds was among the largest that Reynolds received in 2020 and far more than the $1,000 that Christensen gave the governor in 2017. Christensen Farms received $1.86 million in 2020 through the Iowa Disposal Assistance Program, which was 72% of the pandemic aid awarded in its first rounds. The program reimbursed farmers who euthanized their hogs after COVID-19 disrupted their supply chain.

LONDON (AP) — The U.K. has become the first country in Europe to pass 100,000 coronavirus-related deaths. With more than 2 million dead worldwide, people the world over are mourning loved ones, but the U.K.’s toll weighs particularly heavily: It is the smallest nation to pass the grim milestone. For comparison, the United States, with five times Britain’s population, has four times the number of deaths. Alongside excess deaths comes excess grief, made even more acute by the social distancing measures in place to slow the virus’s spread. Charities and campaigning groups are urging the government to offer more help to deal with this “tsunami” of grief.

BERLIN (AP) — The German government plans to ban the practice of killing male chicks after they hatch, which results in the death of some 45 million birds per year in the country. The Cabinet on Wednesday approved legislation that will prohibit the practice from Jan. 1 next year. Government spokeswoman Martina Fietz said that Germany will be the first country in the world to do so. In a second step, the killing of chick embryos in the egg will be prohibited after the sixth day of incubation starting on Jan. 1, 2024. Fietz said the government has invested over 8 million euros ($9.7 million) over recent years to help research into alternative procedures to identify the sex of chicks before they hatch.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan is scrambling to manage the fallout from a decision by its Supreme Court to free the Pakistani-British man accused in the 2002 beheading of American journalist Daniel Pearl. The Sindh provincial government on Friday filed a review petition. But it’s a last-ditch effort, and a lawyer for the Pearl family has said it has a slim chance of being successful. That’s because it’ll be heard by the same judges who voted to free Ahmad Saeed Omar Sheikh. The U.S. says it wants to prosecute him but there are hurdles to Sheikh’s extradition, and Pakistan is also key to the Biden administration’s attempts to navigate the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Asian shares are mostly lower as surging virus counts and China-U.S. tensions weigh on sentiment. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng dropped after authorities arrested dozens of pro-democracy figures, including lawmakers. Shares also fell in Tokyo, Shanghai and Sydney. Seoul recovered from earlier losses. U.S. stocks closed higher Tuesday, regaining their footing a day after starting out 2021 with their worst loss in months amid the worsening pandemic and potentially market-moving Senate elections. The S&P 500 gained 0.7%, and the majority of big stocks in the index advanced. Oil producers led the way as crude prices strengthened. The market’s moves were tenuous, though.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A judge has refused to toss out six criminal complaints filed against a Louisiana pastor charged with violating coronavirus gathering capacity rules put in place during the early days of the pandemic. A judge on Monday dismissed pastor Tony Spell’s motion to have the case against him dropped. Prosecutors allege Spell violated public gathering capacity limits six times last spring by continuing to host worship services with hundreds in attendance. Spell contends the First Amendment protected his right to gather in large groups. Spell has pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charges and is set to appear in court again in March.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The TV series “All Creatures Great and Small” was a hit when it aired years ago and is back as a PBS reboot. Producer Colin Callender saw the story of veterinarians serving a close-knit rural community as tonic for a politically divisive era. Then the pandemic arrived, giving more reason to revive the world depicted by author James Herriot. Herriot was the pen name for James Wight, a vet in England’s Yorkshire region for five decades. He recounted the animals and people he met and helped in semi-autobiographical bestsellers. “All Creatures Great and Small” debuts Sunday on PBS’ “Masterpiece” showcase, with newcomer Nicholas Ralph starring as the novice vet.

ROME (AP) — Italy has the world’s second-oldest population, and many of its people in their 70s and older have kept working through the coronavirus pandemic. From neighborhood newsstand dealers to farmers taking crops to market, they are fighting labels that depict the elderly as a monolithic group in need of protection. In a country where childcare centers are chronically scarce, many well into their 70s are caring for grandkids during the pandemic so their adult children can keep working. A 71-year-old diabetic news vendor in Rome had to compromise with his adult sons to keep going to his job every day and says older adults “can’t be kept under a bell jar.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department’s inspector general is launching an investigation to examine whether any former or current department officials “engaged in an improper attempt” to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz said Monday that the investigation will investigate allegations concerning the conduct of former and current Justice Department officials but will not extend to other government officials.
The investigation comes after The New York Times reported that a former assistant attorney general, Jeffrey Clark, had been discussing a plan with then-President Donald Trump to oust the acting attorney general and try to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential race.

Wisconsin health officials say more varieties of COVID-19 vaccine could be coming soon

MADISON (WQOW) - Most of us are eager to put the pandemic behind us which leaves many anxious for their turn in line to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Well, state health officials say it'll be a bit of a wait until it's available to the public and depends on a multitude of other factors.
There are two major tiers for the state to get through before high-risk populations of the public can get a shot in the arm.
DHS officials say getting through those tiers depends on how much vaccine is manufactured and provided to the state.
Officials add a higher supply of the already-approved Pfizer and Moderna vaccines should be available in the coming months and now other pharmaceutical companies have vaccine trials happening which may speed up the process.
"The two that are currently in trials right now that may come in the next few months are the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and the AstraZeneca vaccine, and then a fifth vaccine that went in and just began trials late last month," said Julie Willems Van Dijk, deputy secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
Officials say they still expect the general public to be able to get vaccinated by the summer but if these additional vaccine options begin to roll out it could be even sooner.

Meghan seeks court ruling over 'serious breach' of privacy

LONDON (AP) — Lawyers for the Duchess of Sussex are asking a British judge to settle her lawsuit against a newspaper before it goes to trial. They say the paper’s publication of a “deeply personal” letter to the duchess’s estranged father was “a plain and a serious breach of her rights of privacy.” The duchess is suing Associated Newspapers over five articles in the Mail on Sunday and on the MailOnline website that published portions of a handwritten letter to her father, Thomas Markle, after her marriage to Britain’s Prince Harry in 2018. Associated Newspapers is contesting the claim.

Malaysia coroner: No foul play in death of French-Irish teen

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — A Malaysian coroner has ruled the death of a French-Irish teenager whose body was found near a Malaysian jungle resort where she vanished while on vacation was most likely a misadventure that didn’t involve other people. The coroner ruled out homicide, natural death and suicide and said Nora Anne Quoirin likely got lost after leaving her family’s cottage on her own. The 15-year-old disappeared in 2019, a day after the family arrived for a vacation. Her body was found beside a stream on a palm oil estate. Nora’s parents said she was likely kidnapped and wouldn’t have wandered off on her own. The coroner described that possibility as a theory with no evidence. Nora’s parents expressed disappointment with the verdict, saying testimonies clearly showed suspicion of foul play.

CHICAGO (AP) — The year 2020 ended in Chicago with more homicides than in all but one year in more than two decades. Police on Friday reported that there were 769 homicides compared with 495 in 2019. The surge in the number of homicides and shootings comes after three straight years in which the totals have fallen after climbing to 784 in 2016. Other cities around the U.S. also saw increased violence in 2019. Law enforcement officials and experts around the U.S. have pointed to social and economic upheaval caused by the coronavirus and public sentiment toward policing following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis as contributing factors.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — The U.S. religious watchdog is appealing for the rights of a Pakistani woman, a member of the country’s minority Ahmadis, who has been jailed on blasphemy charges. The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom announced on Friday that it has declared 55-year-old Ramazan Bibi a prisoner of conscience and urged Prime Minister Imran Khan’s government to immediately free her and others like her. Bibi was jailed last April under the country’s draconian blasphemy law that carries a death penalty. Pakistan’s parliament declared Ahmadis non-Muslims in 1974. Since then, Ahmadis have repeatedly been targeted by Islamic extremists in the Muslim-majority nation.

PARIS (AP) — France has announced that two French soldiers were killed in the African nation of Mali when an improvised explosive device hit their armored vehicle. The attack Saturday came five days after three others died in similar circumstances. The soldiers were participating in an intelligence mission in the Menaka region of northeastern Mali. The French military said a third soldier has been injured and is in a stable condition. France has more than 5,000 troops deployed in West Africa to help fight extremist groups. These deaths bring to 50 the number of French soldiers killed in the Sahel region since 2013.
