MADRID (AP) — The three wise men have received a subdued reception in Spain on the eve of the Western observance of Epiphany due to a pandemic-related prohibition against large public events. Multitudes of parents and children typically pack Madrid’s sidewalks to watch decorative floats carrying people dressed as the biblical kings who brought gifts to the baby Jesus. This year, to reduce exposure to the coronavirus, the Spanish capital held a televised ceremony welcoming the arrival of Magi´s arrival Tuesday, with no members of the public allowed. Elsewhere in Spain, a balloon floated the three kings into the city of Seville. On the Canary Island of Tenerife, authorities staged a symbolic vaccination of the visiting Magi.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — U.S. Rep. Tom Rice of South Carolina was one of only 10 House Republican to join with Democrats in voting to impeach President Donald Trump, a stunning reversal from his position just days earlier. Rice represents South Carolina’s 7th Congressional District, an area near Myrtle Beach that has voted heavily for Trump. The Republican was recently elected to his fifth term and is among the lesser-known member of South Carolina’s delegation but has been a steadfast supporter of Trump. Rice joined with Democrats on Wednesday to support impeachment, which passed the U.S. House 232-197.

WAXAHACHIE, Texas (AP) — Controversy over a segregation-era “Negroes” sign in a Texas courthouse has taken an unusual turn after a top county official was identified as a suspect in a criminal investigation into the historical sign being vandalized. The sign in a courthouse in Waxahachie, a city of 36,000 about 30 miles (48 kilometers) south of Dallas. It drew attention in November when a Black county official spoke out over being moved to a shared office near it. Now, The Dallas Morning News reports Ellis County Judge Todd Little is a suspect in the sign being vandalized. He has not been charged.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is warning of a growing “cost of inaction” on his $1.9 trillion COVID relief plan. And the White House says the new administration is searching for “creative” ways to garner public support for a package that has gotten a cold shoulder from Senate Republicans. In the age of COVID, it’s not a matter of jumping on a plane to travel the country and try to gin up a groundswell. And at a time of deep polarization, Biden may struggle to convince Republican voters of the urgency at this particular moment after Congress already has approved $4 trillion in aid, including $900 billion last month.

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A Beverly Hills doctor who authorities say performed unnecessary surgeries on patients in one of the nation’s largest medical insurance fraud schemes has been sentenced. Dr. Mario Rosenberg was sentenced Friday to probation and community service. He’ll also have to pay nearly $3 million in restitution. Prosecutors say he and 18 others took part in an Orange County-based scheme to recruit thousands of healthy people to undergo unnecessary and dangerous operations, which were then billed to insurers. The $154 million scheme ended in 2008 with 19 people being indicted. Rosenberg pleaded no contest in 2014 to felony insurance fraud

Governors' anger grows as federal vaccine stockpile vanishes

CHICAGO (AP) — Several governors expressed exasperation at the Trump administration after being assured that the federal government had enough vaccine stockpiled to speed up or expand state rollouts only to be later told those reserves don’t exist. Meanwhile, organizers of the Boston Marathon aren’t letting the indefinite postponement of the race keep them from trying to keep runners from staying connected. The Boston Athletic Association launched a virtual Athletes’ Village in the hopes that runners will use it as a digital hub to share training tips, seek out coaching and compete in monthly challenges. New COVID-19 fatalities pushed the U.S. death toll to 392,537 on Friday, virtually assuring it will reach 400,000 by the time President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated Wednesday.

Russian hack of US agencies exposed supply chain weaknesses

WASHINGTON (AP) — The elite Russian hackers who gained access to computer systems of federal agencies last year didn’t bother trying to break one-by-one into the networks of each department. Instead, they got inside by sneaking malicious code into a software update pushed out to thousands of government agencies and private companies. That the hackers were able to exploit vulnerabilities in the supply chain to launch a massive intelligence gathering operation was not surprising. U.S. officials and cybersecurity experts have sounded the alarm for years about a problem that has caused havoc but has defied easy solutions from the government and private sector.

NEW YORK (AP) — Deutsche Bank has agreed to pay fines and penalties of more than $100 million to avoid a criminal prosecution on charges it participated in a foreign bribery scheme. Lawyers for the bank waived its right to face an indictment on conspiracy charges Friday during a teleconference with a federal judge in New York City. Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn didn’t reveal at the hearing which nations were involved. Deutsche Bank said it had cooperated with federal authorities. The bank’s agreement to avoid prosecution comes in the waning days of the administration of President Donald Trump. He had a longtime personal business association with the bank.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Music mogul Dr. Dre was back at home Saturday after being treated at a Los Angeles hospital for a reported brain aneurysm. Peter Paterno, an attorney for the rapper and producer, said Dre was home but offered no other details in an email exchange Saturday. In a Jan. 5 social media post, Dre said he was “doing great” and getting excellent medical care. TMZ had reported that he suffered a brain aneurysm. On Friday, actor and rapper Ice T posted that he had connected with Dre on FaceTime and that Dre had just made it home and was, as Ice T put it, “safe and looking good.”

CAIRO (AP) — A leading rights group is urging Libya’s U.N.-backed government to investigate the fate of hundreds of people who went missing in a key town near the capital, Tripoli. Dozens of mass graves were found there after the withdrawal of a much-feared militia last summer. A statement from Human Rights Watch quoted Libyan officials as saying that at least 338 residents of the town of Tarhuna were reported missing. The majority of them disappeared during a 14-month-long military campaign led by forces loyal to a rival government, based in eastern Libya, to take Tripoli.

TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — The Tacoma News-Tribune reports that at least one person was injured after a police car plowed through a crowd of pedestrians Saturday night who were watching a downtown street race. Police say the incident happened just before 7 p.m. when a crowd of about 100 people watched several cars spinning in circles in a downtown street. A witness says the police car arrived at the scene and then it was driven through the crowd after people tried to block the vehicle. Video posted on social media show that the police car hits something or somebody. Another video from the same scene and posted to Twitter appears to show the vehicle driving over a person on the ground.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Joe Biden has chosen veteran diplomat William Burns to be his CIA director. Biden made the announcement on Monday. A former ambassador to Russia and Jordan, Burns rose through the ranks of the State Department to become deputy secretary before retiring to run the Carnegie Endowment of International Peace in 2014. Biden praised Burns as an exemplary diplomat “with decades of experience on the world stage keeping our people and our country safe and secure.” If confirmed by the Senate, Burns would succeed Gina Haspel.

Israeli warplanes strike targets in central Syria

BEIRUT (AP) — Syria’s state media says Israeli warplanes have fired several missiles on targets in central Syria without giving word on casualties. State-news agency SANA quoted an unnamed military official as saying Friday’s attack took place shortly before dawn when Israeli warplanes flew over neighboring Lebanon. Israel has launched hundreds of strikes against Iran-linked military targets in Syria over the years but rarely acknowledges or discusses such operations. Israel views Iranian entrenchment on its northern frontier as a red line, and it has repeatedly struck Iran-linked facilities and weapons convoys destined for Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel’s education minister says he’s banning groups that call Israel an “apartheid state” from lecturing at schools. The move targets the country’s leading human rights group after it began describing both Israel and its control of the Palestinian territories as a single “apartheid” system. The explosive term is vehemently rejected by Israel’s leaders and many ordinary Israelis. Yoav Galant announced the measure on Twitter late Sunday. Rights group B’Tselem said last week that while Palestinians live under different forms of Israeli control in the occupied West Bank, blockaded Gaza, annexed east Jerusalem and within Israel itself, they have fewer rights than Jews in the entire territory, including Israel proper.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has renewed his attack on the U.S. investigation of a former defense secretary and is warning the U.S. Justice Department to consider carefully its threat to suspend cooperation with Mexico. López Obrador on Monday defended the decision by the Mexican Attorney General’s Office not to pursue charges against retired Gen. Salvador Cienfuegos, and he mocked the results of the DEA’s seven-year investigation. On Friday, Mexico published all of the information the U.S. had shared against Cienfuegos, spurring a rare public rebuke from the Justice Department that expressed disappointment in Mexico’s decision to drop the case against the former general.

Aid group: US terrorism designation for Yemen rebels a blow

CAIRO (AP) — A leading aid organization has warned that U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s move to designate Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels as a “foreign terrorist organization” would deal another “devastating blow” to the impoverished and war-torn nation. The Norwegian Refugee Council, one of the main humanitarian agencies active in Yemen, said the designation and Pompeo’s planned sanctions on the Houthis “will hamstring the ability of aid agencies to respond” to the humanitarian needs of millions of Yemenis. Relief organizations have long warned that sanctions could prove catastrophic for efforts to help starving Yemeni civilians caught in the conflict between the Houthis and the Saudi-backed Yemeni government.

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Stock Exchange says it no longer plans to remove shares of three Chinese state-owned phone carriers under an order by President Donald Trump. The exchange cited “further consultation” with U.S. regulators but gave no other details of its decision. The NYSE announced plans to remove China Telecom Corp. Ltd., China Mobile Ltd. and China Unicom Hong Kong Ltd. after Trump’s order in November barring Americans from investing in securities issued by companies deemed to be linked to the Chinese military. The Chinese government has accused Washington of misusing national security as an excuse to hamper competition.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump will walk out of the White House and board Marine One for the last time as president Wednesday morning, leaving behind a legacy of chaos and tumult and a nation bitterly divided. After standing on stage at his own inauguration and painting a dire picture of “American carnage,” Trump will depart the office twice impeached, with millions of people out of work and 400,000 dead from the coronavirus. He will be forever remembered for the final major act of his presidency: inciting an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol that left five dead, including a Capitol Police officer, and horrified the nation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden has an Iran problem. And, it’s getting more complicated by the day. Thanks to provocative moves by Iran and less-than-coherent actions by the outgoing Trump administration, the president-elect is facing an increasingly uncertain situation when it comes to Iran. In the past week alone, President Donald Trump’s team has dispatched B-52 bombers to the Persian Gulf and reversed an order to bring home the only U.S. aircraft carrier in the region. On Monday, Iran announced it had resumed advanced uranium enrichment in violation of the 2015 nuclear deal, and it seized a South Korean-flagged oil tanker and its crew.

MOSCOW (AP) — Chechnya’s Kremlin-backed leader says that his forces have killed six suspected militants, including a warlord accused of organizing a 2011 suicide attack at a Moscow airport. Ramzan Kadyrov, the regional leader of Chechnya, said Wednesday that troops under his command had tracked down the suspects in the village of Katar-Yurt and killed all of them on the spot. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russian President Vladimir Putin had a phone call to congratulate Kadyrov, who personally took part in the raid. Kadyrov said that those killed included Aslan Byutukayev, whom Russian authorities accused of involvement in the January 2011 suicide bombing at the arrivals zone of Moscow’s Domodedovo airport.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — George Whitmore, a member of the first team of climbers to scale El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, has died at age 89. Whitmore’s wife Nancy says he died on New Year’s Day from complications caused by COVID-19. Friends, family, colleagues and fellow climbers mourned the passing of a rock climbing legend. He was the last surviving member of the trio that was the first to reach the top of El Capitan on Nov. 12, 1958. Scaling the 3,000-foot sheer granite rock wall was then considered a feat out of human reach. It now attracts climbers from around the world. Whitmore was also a noted conservationist.

Mulvaney says he's quitting after Capitol riot
| null | null |
wqow.com

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on Congress’ confirmation of Joe Biden as winner of the presidential election (all times local):
8:35 a.m.
President Donald Trump’s former acting White House chief of staff resigned his post as special envoy to Northern Ireland on Thursday, saying “I can’t do it. I can’t stay.”
Mulvaney joined a growing list of Trump administration officials who are leaving following the violent riot at the Capitol on Wednesday. The riot occurred after Trump addressed a massive rally in Washington fueled by the president’s repeated allegations that he lost the November election because of election fraud, which is not substantiated. A mob breached the Capitol building just as lawmakers were working to certify Electoral College votes in the election, sealing President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
Mulvaney said he called Secretary of State Mike Pompeo Wednesday night to tell him that he was resigning. He served as acting White House chief of staff from January 2019 until March 2020. Before that, he was director of the Office of Management and Budget.
“I can’t do it. I can’t stay,” Mick Mulvaney told CNBC, which was first to report the resignation. “Those who choose to stay, and I have talked with some of them, are choosing to stay because they’re worried the president might put someone worse in.”
__
HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CONGRESS’ CONFIRMATION OF BIDEN AS WINNER OF THE ELECTION:
Angry supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday in a chaotic protest aimed at thwarting a peaceful transfer of power, forcing lawmakers to be rushed from the building and interrupting challenges to Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory. Congress returned later Wednesday to resume their proceedings after the Capitol was cleared by law enforcement and confirmed Biden as the presidential election winner.

HERE’S WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON:
3:55 a.m.
President Donald Trump now says there “will be an orderly transition on January 20th” after Congress concluded the electoral vote count certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s victory and after a day of violence when his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol.
Trump says in a statement tweeted by his social media director Dan Scavino, “Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th.”
He adds: “I have always said we would continue our fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it’s only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again.”
Trump’s account is currently locked by Twitter.
Trump has spent the last two months refusing to concede the election and making baseless allegations of mass voter fraud that have been rejected by dozens of courts and Republican officials, including his former attorney general.
Vice President Mike Pence presided over the formal session that ended early Thursday morning tallying the electoral college vote.
___
3:40 a.m.
Congress has formally validated Joe Biden’s presidential election victory on a day that saw a time-honored ceremony become a nightmare of unprecedented political terror.
The House and Senate certified the Democrat’s electoral college win early Thursday after a violent throng of pro-Trump rioters spent hours Wednesday running rampant through the Capitol. A woman was fatally shot, windows were bashed and the mob forced shaken lawmakers and aides to flee the building, shielded by Capitol Police.
The rampage began shortly after President Donald Trump repeated his unfounded claims of election fraud to thousands of rallying demonstrators he’d invited to Washington. Many then surged to the Capitol after he incited them to go there as lawmakers debated the electoral votes.
More than six hours after the violence erupted, lawmakers resumed their session.
Thirteen Republican senators and dozens of GOP representatives had planned to force debate and votes on perhaps six different states’ votes.
The assault on the Capitol made some Republicans squeamish about trying to overturn Biden’s win, and challenges were lodged only against Arizona and Pennsylvania. Both efforts lost overwhelmingly.
Biden defeated Trump by 306-232 electoral votes and will be inaugurated Jan. 20.

Congress returned later Wednesday to resume their proceedings after the Capitol was cleared by law enforcement and confirmed Biden as the presidential election winner.\nRead more:\n— Pro-Trump mob storms US Capitol in bid to overturn election\n— A moment in America, unimaginable but perhaps inevitable\n— AP PHOTOS: Scenes of violence at U.S. Capitol shock world\n— Capitol has seen violence over 220 years, but not like this\n— Pence defies Trump, says he can’t reject electoral votes\n___\nHERE’S WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON:\n3:55 a.m.\nPresident Donald Trump now says there “will be an orderly transition on January 20th” after Congress concluded the electoral vote count certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s victory and after a day of violence when his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol.\nTrump says in a statement tweeted by his social media director Dan Scavino, “Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th.”\nHe adds: “I have always said we would continue our fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it’s only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again.”\nTrump’s account is currently locked by Twitter.\nTrump has spent the last two months refusing to concede the election and making baseless allegations of mass voter fraud that have been rejected by dozens of courts and Republican officials, including his former attorney general.\nVice President Mike Pence presided over the formal session that ended early Thursday morning tallying the electoral college vote.\n___\n3:40 a.m.\nCongress has formally validated Joe Biden’s presidential election victory on a day that saw a time-honored ceremony become a nightmare of unprecedented political terror.\nThe House and Senate certified the Democrat’s electoral college win early Thursday after a violent throng of pro-Trump rioters spent hours Wednesday running rampant through the Capitol. A woman was fatally shot, windows were bashed and the mob forced shaken lawmakers and aides to flee the building, shielded by Capitol Police.\nThe rampage began shortly after President Donald Trump repeated his unfounded claims of election fraud to thousands of rallying demonstrators he’d invited to Washington. Many then surged to the Capitol after he incited them to go there as lawmakers debated the electoral votes.\nMore than six hours after the violence erupted, lawmakers resumed their session.\nThirteen Republican senators and dozens of GOP representatives had planned to force debate and votes on perhaps six different states’ votes.\nThe assault on the Capitol made some Republicans squeamish about trying to overturn Biden’s win, and challenges were lodged only against Arizona and Pennsylvania. Both efforts lost overwhelmingly.\nBiden defeated Trump by 306-232 electoral votes and will be inaugurated Jan. 20.",

VADO HONDO, Guatemala (AP) — Guatemalan police and soldiers have used tear gas and wielded batons and shields against a group of Honduran migrants that tried to push through their roadblock. A group of about 2,000 migrants had stopped short of the roadblock Saturday night. The roadblock was strategically placed at a chokepoint on the two-lane highway to Chiquimula in an area known as Vado Hondo. It’s flanked by a tall mountainside and a wall leaving the migrants with few options. Some 100 migrants tried to make their way through authorities around 7:30 a.m. Sunday. The security forces beat them back and deployed tear gas.

US says Eritrean forces should leave Tigray immediately

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The United States says all soldiers from Eritrea should leave Ethiopia’s embattled Tigray region immediately. A State Department spokesperson in an email to The Associated Press cites credible reports of looting, sexual violence, assaults in refugee camps and other human rights abuses. The spokesperson says there is also evidence of Eritrean soldiers forcibly returning Eritrean refugees from Tigray to Eritrea. The statement reflects new pressure by the Biden administration on the government of Ethiopia, Africa’s second most populous country, and other combatants as the deadly fighting in Tigray nears the three-month mark. The U.S. stance has shifted dramatically from the early days of the conflict when the Trump administration praised Eritrea for its restraint.

NEW YORK (AP) — Kyrie Irving has rejoined the Brooklyn Nets. Irving said Tuesday that he took a leave of absence because he “just needed a pause.” Irving practiced with the team and could play Wednesday in Cleveland. He has missed the last seven games — five while away from the team and two more while regaining his conditioning after he was eligible to return. Resting his head on his arms folded in front of him while he spoke during a Zoom interview, Irving didn’t give a clear reason for his absence, saying he had a lot of family and personal stuff going on.

MIAMI (AP) — The Boston Celtics and Miami Heat knelt for the national anthem Wednesday night, saying they were playing “with a heavy heart” after a violent mob loyal to President Donald Trump was able to storm the U.S. Capitol and a Wisconsin prosecutor’s decision this week to not charge a police officer who shot a Black man last year. Wednesday’s scene from the Capitol, where a mob delayed Congress from certifying the results of November’s election and paving the way for President-elect Joe Biden to be sworn in later this month, was widely discussed around the NBA before games began. The Bucks and Pistons knelt and intentionally took turnovers after their game began.

BEIJING (AP) — A city government in eastern China says the coronavirus was found on ice cream produced there, prompting a recall of cartons from the same batch. The government says employees of the company in Tianjin, adjacent to Beijing, are being tested for the coronavirus. There is no indication anyone has contracted the virus from the ice cream. Most of the 29,000 cartons of ice cream in the batch had yet to be sold. The government says 390 sold in Tianjin are being tracked down and authorities elsewhere were notified of sales to their areas. China has suggested the disease, first detected in Wuhan, came from abroad and has highlighted what it says are discoveries of the virus on imported fish and other food.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Wednesday’s congressional joint session to count electoral votes could drag late into the night as some Republicans plan to challenge Democrat Joe Biden’s victory in at least six states. The GOP plan to object to Biden’s electors has added importance to a usually routine step in the path to inauguration. The Republicans who plan to object are citing Trump’s baseless charges of widespread fraud in the election. A range of election officials, including former attorney general William Barr, have confirmed that widespread fraud did not occur. The congressional meeting is the final step in certifying Biden’s win.

EL TERRERO, Mexico (AP) — In the birthplace of Mexico’s vigilante ’self-defense’ movement, a new group has emerged entirely made of women, who carry assault rifles and man roadblocks, to fend off what they say is a bloody incursion into the state of Michoacán by the violent Jalisco cartel. Jalisco’s territorial expansion has already bloodied Michoacán the neighboring state of Guanajuato, and has created scenes of almost medieval warfare: defensive trenches, homemade tanks and barricades. Some of the women have lost husbands or sons in the fighting, but the real self-defense movement that flourished from 2013 to 2015 no longer exists.

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union called for the immediate release Wednesday of the 53 former lawmakers and pro-democracy activists who have been arrested in Hong Kong after being accused of violating the new security law. The mass arrests, including of former lawmakers, were the largest move against Hong Kong’s democracy movement since the law was imposed by Beijing last June to quell dissent in the semi-autonomous territory EU spokesman Peter Stano said during a press conference the arrests sent the “signal that political pluralism is no longer tolerated in Hong Kong.” Stano added that the security law is being used “to crush dissent and stifle the exercise of human rights and political freedoms.”

SYDNEY (AP) — Government leaders marked a socially distanced Australia Day with calming words as protesters denounced celebrations of a day some dub “Invasion Day” because of historical wrongs committed against Indigenous people. The 4,000 protesters who gathered in small groups in Sydney’s Domain were warned they could be fined or jailed for breaching limits on large crowds. But many protesters wore masks and adhered to social distancing guidelines, and only a few arrests occurred for not following police orders. Australia Day recognizes the day the British navy arrived with convict ships and raised a flag signaling the intent to found a British colony. The protest organizers called for it to be abolished.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Dubai is being blamed by several countries for spreading the coronavirus abroad after the city opened itself to New Year’s revelers. Questions are also swirling about its ability to handle reported spikes in virus cases to record levels. The government’s Dubai Media Office said the sheikhdom is doing all it can to handle the pandemic. However, it has repeatedly declined to answer questions from The Associated Press about the city-state’s hospital capacity. A former top official is now questioning the city’s ability to respond to the surge. Meanwhile, countries such as Denmark, Israel, the Philippines and the United Kingdom link cases there to travelers who have returned from Dubai.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — 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 says 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. Health officials will conduct genome testing but are working under the assumption that the case is a more transmissible variant of the virus. Meanwhile a Chinese city just outside Beijing has completed 2,600 temporary treatment rooms as the country’s north battles new clusters of the coronavirus.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Selena Gomez is laying much of the blame for the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol at the feet of Big Tech. The singer told the leaders of Facebook, Twitter, Google and YouTube that they’ve allowed “people with hate in their hearts” to thrive and therefore “failed all the American people.” It’s just the latest in the 28-year-old Gomez’s efforts to draw attention to the dangers of internet companies. In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, Gomez explains why she’s so passionate about the issue and what she’s done both publicly and behind the scenes to get her message across.

Ultra-Orthodox attack Israeli police amid lockdown tensions

JERUSALEM (AP) — Ultra-Orthodox Jews have attacked an unmarked Israeli police vehicle overnight, pelting it with stones and smashing the windows while officers were inside. Police said Friday that the attack set off a riot in which at least six people were arrested. The violence erupted in Bnei Brak, an ultra-Orthodox town near Tel Aviv. Tensions have run high between police and Israel’s ultra-Orthodox community throughout the coronavirus pandemic as many have openly defied lockdown restrictions to hold religious gatherings. Police seeking to break up weddings, funerals and other gatherings have often faced violent crowds who block roads and hurl stones.

Biden says he will speed up release of COVID-19 vaccine
| null | null |

WASHINGTON (AP) - President-elect Joe Biden will be taking a new direction to speed up the release of coronavirus vaccines when he assumes office Jan. 20.
His office said Friday Biden would curtail the current practice of holding back vaccine doses to guarantee that people who get their first shot can also get a required second inoculation three weeks later.
Under the Trump administration's approach, the government has been holding back a supply of vaccines to guarantee that people can get a second shot, which provides maximum protection against COVID-19. After an initial glow of hope when vaccines were approved last month, the nation's vaccination campaign has gotten off to a slow start.

Uganda cops surround offices of Bobi Wine's opposition party

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — The party of Ugandan opposition figure Bobi Wine say that top officials have been denied access to their headquarters in the capital, Kampala, as they prepared to launch a legal challenge against Wine’s detention inside his house. Joel Ssenyonyi, a spokesman for the National Unity Platform party, told The Associated Press that police swooped in on their offices at dawn, diverted traffic, and stopped people from entering the offices. Wine, whose real name is Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, was the main opposition challenger in presidential elections last week that electoral authorities say was won by long-time leader Yoweri Museveni with 58% of the vote. Wine, who took 34% of the vote, has rejected the official outcome as fraudulent.

Israel postpones Netanyahu's trial amid virus lockdown

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel has postponed the next hearing in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption trial because of a tightened coronavirus lockdown. The Jerusalem District Court says the hearing scheduled for Wednesday will be postponed indefinitely because of the number of people required to attend in person. Netanyahu has been indicted on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust connected to three long-running investigations. He has denied any wrongdoing and says he is the victim of a “witch hunt” by political opponents. Israel went into a tightened lockdown on Friday that is expected to last for at least two weeks following a surge in cases.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo had 27 points and 14 rebounds and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Atlanta Hawks 129-115 on Sunday night to snap a two-game losing streak. Antetokounmpo had eight assists, finishing two shy of a triple-double. Bobby Portis added 21 points, and Khris Middleton had 19 for Milwaukee. De’Andre Hunter led Atlanta with a career-high 33 points. John Collins had 30 points, but the short-handed Hawks saw their three-game winning streak end. The Hawks were without two key starters, leading scorer Trae Young because of back spasms and center Clint Capela with a sore right hand.

The Press Trust of India news agency put the death toll at six near Shivamogga, 250 miles southeast of Bengaluru, the capital of Karnataka state. The blast shattered windowpanes and left cracks in several homes, sending people fleeing in panic. Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a tweet said he was pained by the loss of life.

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — A U.S. judge has refused to halt oil and gas lease sales in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge that were pushed by the Trump administration in its final days. U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason made the decision Tuesday. It involves a region valued by conservationists for its beauty and wildlife and seen as sacred to some Indigenous people but viewed by others as a way to boost oil production and create jobs. The decision came after conservationists and Indigenous groups argued the lease sale scheduled for Wednesday was based on inadequate environmental reviews or outdated information.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — D Smoke was a high school teacher for a decade in Southern California, but he never gave up on his dream of breaking through as a hip-hop artist. The rapper leaned on the encouraging phrase “there’s no expiration on realness” before making a splash on Netflix’s “Rhythm + Flow,” a music competition he won. He rode the show’s momentum, performing alongside boxer Deontay Wilder before a heavyweight championship bout and releasing his debut album “Black Habits,” which earned him Grammy nomination for best rap album. He’s also up for best new artist, pitting him against Megan Thee Stallion, Doja Cat, Ingrid Andress, Phoebe Bridgers and other breakout artists.

ATLANTA (AP) — As Democrat Joe Biden is sworn in Wednesday as the nation’s 46th president, Donald Trump’s most ardent supporters still believe Biden was not legitimately elected after Trump continues to argue the election was stolen. There is no evidence of the widespread fraud that Trump and his allies have claimed. Republican and Democratic election officials have certified the election as valid, courts have rejected lawsuit after lawsuit claiming otherwise, and a clear majority of Congress has confirmed the final result — despite a riotous mob earlier this month that sought to disrupt the process.

Vaccine skepticism hurts East European anti-virus efforts

wqow.com

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Across the Balkans and other nations in southeastern Europe, a vaccination campaign against the coronavirus is being overshadowed by heated political debates or conspiracy theories that threaten to thwart the process. In countries like the Czech Republic, Serbia, Bosnia, Romania and Bulgaria, vaccine skeptics have ranged from former presidents to top athletes and doctors. Nations that once routinely went through mass inoculations under Communist leaders are deeply split over whether to take the vaccines at all. There’s also a split in Serbia over which vaccine to take: the Western-made Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, Russia’s Sputnik V or China’s Sinopharm. It’s yet another source of division in a country where many favor closer ties with Moscow.

In countries like the Czech Republic, Serbia, Bosnia, Romania and Bulgaria, vaccine skeptics have ranged from former presidents to top athletes and doctors. Nations that once routinely went through mass inoculations under Communist leaders are deeply split over whether to take the vaccines at all. There’s also a split in Serbia over which vaccine to take: the Western-made Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, Russia’s Sputnik V or China’s Sinopharm. It’s yet another source of division in a country where many favor closer ties with Moscow.",

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is dispatching the nation’s top scientists and public health experts to regularly brief the American public about the pandemic that has claimed more than 425,000 U.S. lives. On Wednesday, experts began three-times-a-week briefings on the state of the outbreak and efforts to control it. Americans can expect a sharp contrast from the Trump administration’s briefings, when public health officials were repeatedly undermined by a president who shared his unproven ideas without hesitation. Wednesday’s briefing featured the Biden administration’s coordinator for pandemic response, as well as government scientists and public health officials.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Dozens of Kashmiri activists have rallied in Pakistan’s capital to urge the United Nations to ensure Kashmir’s right to self-determination under a decades-old resolution on the disputed region. Chanting slogans including “we want freedom” they urged the world community to take notice of alleged Indian human rights violations in Kashmir, which is split between Pakistan and India and claimed by both in its entirety. The rally in Islamabad comes as Kashmiris mark the anniversary of a U.N. resolution passed in 1948 that called for a referendum on whether Kashmiris wanted to merge with Pakistan or India.

New campaign, and logo, for GM in a bid to electrify image

DETROIT (AP) — General Motors is changing its corporate logo and launching an electric vehicle marketing campaign to reshape its image as clean vehicle company, rather than a builder of gas-powered pickups and SUVs. The 112-year-old Detroit automaker has promised to roll out 30 new battery-powered vehicles globally by the end of 2025 and said Friday that the new campaign will highlight its progressive vision for the future. GM said the industry has reached a history-changing inflection point for mass adoption of electric vehicles. The company is scrapping its old square blue logo and replacing it with a lower case gm surrounded by rounded corners. The company says it’s the biggest change to its logo since 1964. The ‘m’ in the logo is underlined to look like an electrical plug.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The theme for President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration will be “America United.” Unity is an issue that’s long been a central focus for Biden but one that’s taken on added weight in the wake of the violence at the U.S. Capitol last week. In an announcement shared first with The Associated Press, the Presidential Inaugural Committee said that the theme “reflects the beginning of a new national journey that restores the soul of America.” The committee also announced that after he is officially inaugurated, Biden, Vice President-elect Harris and their spouses will lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery, and will be joined by three former presidents and their wives — a bipartisan show of unity.

Police officer's death intensifies Capitol siege questions

WASHINGTON (AP) — A police officer has died from injuries sustained as President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol, intensifying the questions about the defeated president’s remaining days in office and the ability of the Capitol police to secure the area. The U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement that Officer Brian D. Sicknick died Thursday after being injured “while physically engaging with protesters” during the Wednesday riot. He is the fifth person to die in the melee. Discussions are underway about Trump’s fitness to remain in office. One Republican lawmaker publicly joined Democrats in calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked to force Trump out. Meanwhile, Trump promised an “orderly transition” on Jan. 20. President-elect Joe Biden is to be inaugurated.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the continent passed the milestone of 3 million confirmed cases COVID-19, including more than 72,000 deaths. South Africa accounts for more than 30% of the continent’s total with more than 1.2 million reported cases, including 32,824 deaths. The high proportion of cases in South Africa, could be because the country carries out more tests than many other African countries. South Africa is battling a resurgence of the disease, driven by a variant of the virus that is more contagious and spreading quickly. Many hospitals are reaching capacity, yet the numbers of those infected are expected to continue rising.

A new COVID-19 challenge: Mutations rise along with cases
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
Mutations to the virus that causes COVID-19 are rapidly popping up and health officials say the pandemic could get worse unless people do more to curb cases. Each new infection gives the virus a chance to mutate. So far, vaccines seem to remain effective against the new variants, but the longer it takes to vaccinate people, the more likely it is that a version of the virus that can elude defenses could emerge. In the United States, health officials say a new variant first identified in the United Kingdom may become dominant in the U.S. by March and cause more hospitalizations and deaths because it spreads more easily.

CHICAGO (AP) — An activist Catholic priest in Chicago says he’s “devastated” by allegations that he sexually abused a minor more than 40 years ago. The Rev. Michael Pfleger asked that people pray for him. He’s declined to comment further at the request of the Archdiocese of Chicago. Pfleger is one of the most prominent activists in the nation’s third-largest city. He became pastor of the Faith Community of St. Sabina on the city’s South Side in 1981. He has since engaged in countless protests and marches and has been arrested several times.

ATLANTA (AP) — A federal judge has rejected President Donald Trump’s latest bid to overturn his election loss in Georgia during a hearing that the president’s lawyer blocked members of the public from listening to remotely amid the coronavirus pandemic. U.S. District Judge Mark H. Cohen on Tuesday denied from the bench a motion seeking to de-certify Georgia’s election. But only those present in the courtroom were able to watch the hearing held via videoconference because the judge’s staff said that Trump’s lawyer did not consent to providing remote access to the public.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan has ordered a U.S.-based website propagating the faith of Pakistan’s minority Ahmadis shut down over allegedly blasphemous content. One of the site’s managers said on Thursday that he and another American who also manages Trueislam.com both live and work in the U.S. He called Pakistan’s action “a brazen act of suppression of freedom of expression and freedom of religion.” Blasphemy has been a contentious issue in Pakistan where the parliament declared minority Ahmadis non-Muslims in 1974. The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority did not immediately respond to an AP request for comment and Zafar and Khan’s website is not accessible from Pakistan.

LONDON (AP) — Ten years after protests rocked Egypt, many of the participants live in exile. They have fled to Europe and beyond out of fear for their personal safety under President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, who continues a crackdown on the political opposition. The Jan. 25, 2011, uprising in Tahrir Square led to the quick ouster of autocratic President Hosni Mubarak. But events did not turn out the way the protesters had envisioned, leading to an even harsher successor in el-Sissi, who has jailed journalists, human rights activists and others. Thousands of academics, artists, writers and other intellectuals have fled their homeland, some never to return.

Florida authorities arrest man after Capitol bomb threat

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A 61-year-old Tallahassee man is in custody after a bomb threat that prompted law enforcement to shut down the Florida state Capitol “out of an abundance of caution.” Tallahassee police say they arrested Mark Wayne Clark for making a false bomb threat against state property. He was taken into custody at a bar about 3 miles from the Capitol. Authorities swept through the Capitol grounds but nothing suspicious was discovered by patrols and bomb-sniffing dogs. Law enforcement officials have been on high alert since state capitols were targeted with threats of violence following an insurrection at the U.S Capitol on Jan. 6.

"TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A 61-year-old Tallahassee man is in custody after a bomb threat that prompted law enforcement to shut down the Florida state Capitol “out of an abundance of caution.” Tallahassee police say they arrested Mark Wayne Clark for making a false bomb threat against state property. He was taken into custody at a bar about 3 miles from the Capitol. Authorities swept through the Capitol grounds but nothing suspicious was discovered by patrols and bomb-sniffing dogs. Law enforcement officials have been on high alert since state capitols were targeted with threats of violence following an insurrection at the U.S Capitol on Jan. 6.",

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Army is investigating a psychological operations officer who led a group of people from North Carolina to the rally in Washington that led up to the deadly riot in the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump. Commanders at Fort Bragg are reviewing Captain Emily Rainey’s involvement in last week’s events. Rainey says she acted within military regulations and that no one in her group broke the law. Maj. Daniel Lessard says the 30-year-old is assigned to the 4th Psychological Operations Group at Fort Bragg. Rainey says her group attended the rally but did not enter the Capitol.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A day after Mexico angered U.S. officials by publishing an entire 751-page U.S. case file against a former defense secretary, the Mexican prosecutors who exonerated him released their own version. But so many pages are wholly blacked out it’s almost impossible to tell what they found. The report released Sunday includes a 226-page stretch with every page blacked out, followed shortly thereafter by a 275-page stretch of blacked-out pages. The officials appeared to be struggling to control the damage to the reputation of the justice system after prosecutors took just five days to completely absolve retired Gen. Salvador Cienfuegos of U.S. allegations he aided drug traffickers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Joe Biden will deliver an appeal to national unity when he’s sworn in Wednesday and plans immediate moves to combat the coronavirus pandemic and undo some of President Donald Trump’s most controversial policies. That’s according to his incoming chief of staff. Biden intends a series of executive actions in his first hours after his inauguration, an opening salvo in what is shaping as a 10-day blitz of steps to reorient the country without waiting for Congress. Aide Ron Klain tells CNN’s “State of the Union” that Biden, in his address to the nation, will deliver “a message of moving this country forward. A message of unity. A message of getting things done.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is trying to pressure Vice President Mike Pence to use powers he doesn’t have to overturn the will of voters in a desperate and futile bid to undo President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the November election. Pence finds himself in the most precarious position of his tenure as he prepares to preside over Wednesday’s congressional tally of Electoral College votes. Beginning at 1 p.m., Pence’s role is to open the certificates of the electoral votes from each state and present them to the appointed “tellers” from the House and Senate in alphabetical order. And Pence has the task of announcing who’s won the majority of votes for both president and vice president.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The full extent of the assault on the U.S. Capitol is coming into sharper focus, with scenes of violence so vast they are difficult to grasp. Countless smartphone videos have been emerging from the scene, and more lawmakers are recounting the chaos that was around them. Altogether they reveal the sinister nature of the assault. And they point to the crowd as a force determined to occupy the inner sanctums of Congress and hunt down leaders — Vice President Mike Pence and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi among them. Democratic Rep. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts says what he witnessed was a display of “home-grown fascism that was out of control.”

SOUTH RIVER, N.J. (AP) — From his early days growing up in a New Jersey hamlet, Brian Sicknick wanted to be a police officer. He enlisted in the National Guard six months after graduating high school in 1997, deploying to Saudi Arabia and then Kyrgyzstan. Joining the Guard was his means to joining law enforcement. He would join the U.S. Capitol Police in 2008, where he served until his death Thursday after being attacked as rioters seething over President Donald Trump’s election loss stormed the U.S. Capitol. The mayor of the town where he grew up says Sicknick’s brother told him, “Brian did his job.”

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Attorneys for former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder are telling prosecutors that the Flint water case should be dismissed because he was charged in the wrong county. Snyder was charged last week with two misdemeanor counts of willful neglect of duty. The former Republican governor was indicted by a Genesee County judge who sat as a grand juror and considered evidence presented by prosecutors. Snyder lawyer Brian Lennon says in a letter to prosecutors Tuesday the allegations occurred at the governor’s office in Lansing. Snyder is among nine people charged in a new investigation of the crisis.

Significance of electoral vote objections

(WQOW) - As Congress is expected to certify President-elect Joe Biden's victory this week, nearly a dozen Republican senators, including Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson, say they are planning to reject electoral college votes from several states. So, what does this mean?
UW-Eau Claire political science professor Geoff Peterson said it appears to be symbolical, given Democrats have the house majority; meaning there's a near-impossible chance of electoral votes being thrown out.
This, Peterson said, is likely why politicians are jumping on board to object because it shows support for their party.
"I don't think anyone in the House or Senate believes they are actually going to go through with this, that they're actually going to throw out any electoral votes," Peterson said. "On a certain level, that actually then makes it safe for people to jump on board this idea. I mean if you're a Republican in the House, what cost is there to say, 'oh yes, throw out all these votes' when you know it won't succeed, right? And the same thing in the Senate."
Peterson added that while there have been electoral objections in previous elections, there has never been an objection this large.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Gov. Tim Walz on Monday announced an education spending plan that aims to address short- and long-term effects of the pandemic while also reducing racial inequity within Minnesota schools. The measures include more academic and mental health programs starting this summer, and the recruitment of more diverse teachers. The state will have to address a projected $1.3 billion budget shortfall as lawmakers and the governor come to terms on a budget this legislative session. While Senate Republicans have said they won’t agree to any raises in taxes to balance the budget, the governor is expected to propose an increase in taxes in the coming days.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s top diplomat says he discussed immigration policy with U.S. President-elect Joe Biden’s pick for national security adviser, Jake Sullivan. Foreign Relations Secretary Marcelo Ebrard said Wednesday the two spoke via internet. Ebrard’s office says that the talk focused on “a shared vision on the issue of migration” and that the two discussed ways to make migration “safe, orderly and regular.” Ebrard says that “attending to the structural causes of migration is a priority shared” by the two administrations. He says he and Sullivan agreed to work on “a regional answer centered on economic development” in areas that migrants come from.

Ebrard’s office says that the talk focused on “a shared vision on the issue of migration” and that the two discussed ways to make migration “safe, orderly and regular.” Ebrard says that “attending to the structural causes of migration is a priority shared” by the two administrations. He says he and Sullivan agreed to work on “a regional answer centered on economic development” in areas that migrants come from.",

NEW YORK (AP) — Late-night TV show hosts expressed anger and frustration at the violence at the U.S. Capitol. Many offered somber monologues Wednesday that pleaded for unity even as some aimed pointed barbs at those they held responsible for the mobs’ actions. They were reacting to footage several hours earlier of a violent mob loyal to President Donald Trump storming the Senate and forcing lawmakers into hiding. Jimmy Kimmel called it “a terrible day in the history of this country.” Stephen Colbert called it “a horrifying day.” Seth Meyers was live on NBC and didn’t try to joke about the events.

BEIJING (AP) — China’s best-known entrepreneur, e-commerce billionaire Jack Ma, hasn’t been seen in public since he angered regulators with an October speech. That is prompting speculation about what might happen to the billionaire founder of Alibaba Group, the world’s biggest e-commerce company. Ma said regulators were too conservative in the Oct. 24 speech. Shortly after that, the government suspended the stock market debut of Ant Group, a financial platform spun off from Alibaba. The normally voluble Ma disappeared from public view, canceling a TV appearance and going silent on social media. It is unclear what awaits Ma , who made his fortune by taking big risks.

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — More than 100 civilians were killed in Niger over the weekend by extremists who attacked two villages, as insurgent violence mounts in the West African nation. The attacks on the western villages of Tchombangou and Zaroumdareye took place on the same day that Niger announced that presidential elections would go to a second round on Feb. 21. The villages in the insecure Tillaberi region were attacked Saturday after residents killed two rebel fighters, local officials said. The attacks are among the deadliest in Niger and come on the heels of several others, including one by the Islamic State West Africa Province in the Diffa region a few weeks ago in which dozens of people were killed.

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — The foreign ministers of Australia, the United States, Great Britain and Canada have issued a joint statement expressing serious concern about the arrest of 55 democracy activists and supporters in Hong Kong last week. The arrests were by far the largest such action taken under a national security law that China imposed on the semi-autonomous territory a little more than six months ago. The statement says that it is clear that the National Security Law is being used to eliminate dissent and opposing political views. China says the law is needed to restore order in a city that was rocked by protest in 2019.

The Latest: China sees growing outbreak south of Beijing
| null | null |
wqow.com

BEIJING — More than 360 people have tested positive in a growing coronavirus outbreak south of Beijing in neighboring Hebei province.
China’s National Health Commission reported Sunday that 69 new cases had been confirmed in the latest 24-hour period, including 46 in Hebei.
The outbreak has raised particular concern because of Hebei’s proximity to the nation’s capital. Travel between the two has been restricted, with workers from Hebei having to show proof of employment in Beijing to enter the city.
Hebei has recorded 183 confirmed cases and an additional 181 asymptomatic cases over the last eight days. China does not include those who test positive but do not show symptoms in its official case count.
Almost all of the cases are in Shijuazhuang, the provincial capital, which is about 260 kilometers (160 miles) southwest of Beijing. A handful have also been found in Xingtai city, 110 kilometers (68 miles) farther south.
Both cities have conducted mass testing of millions of residents, suspended public transportation and restricted residents to their communities or villages for one week.

MEXICO CITY — Mexico has posted another daily record for newly confirmed coronavirus cases, with 16,105 new infections reported Saturday, and a near-record of 1,135 deaths related to COVID-19 in the latest 24-hour period.
The country has now topped 1.5 million total infections and over 133,000 deaths so far in the pandemic. Given Mexico’s extremely low level of testing, official estimates suggest the real death toll is over 180,000.
Health authorities said 6,722 shots of coronavirus vaccine were administered Friday, for a total so far of about 75,000. In Mexico City, the current center of the pandemic in Mexico, 90% percent of hospital beds are full.

MONTREAL — A curfew meant to curb a rising tide of COVID-19 cases took effect across Quebec on Saturday evening.
Premier Francois Legault says the measure is needed to prevent gatherings that have fueled the rampant spread of the virus, The French-speaking Canadian province has a population of more than 8.4 million
The rules will see most residents face police questions or fines of up to $6,000 Canadian (U.S. $4,728) if they’re out between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. for the next four weeks. There are exceptions for essential workers, people walking dogs, and those who have medical reasons to be out, such as a doctor’s appointment.

TOKYO — Japanese opposition lawmakers slammed the government’s emergency declaration Sunday, as too little too late to stem the surging coronavirus case.
They also pushed for more testing, which have lagged in Japan, being expensive and hard to get unless severely ill.
“It’s essential to consider the worst possible scenario, but the response has always been based on an overly optimistic outlook,” Yukio Edano, a former economy minister, said on public broadcaster NHK TV.
Opposition lawmakers Toranosuke Katayama and Kazuo Shii also criticized the state of emergency as too limited in scope, area and duration.
The declaration, which kicked in Friday, centers around asking restaurants to close at 8 p.m., lasts a month and focuses on the Tokyo area.
Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga defended the focus of the declaration as needed for it to be effective. He stressed the rising curve in the infection’s spread will get flattened in a month.
Deaths related to COVID-19 have totaled about 4,000 nationwide so far. Worries are growing about hospitals getting stretched thin. Tokyo’s cases have surged recently to more than 2,000 a day. Other urban areas have asked the central government for emergency declarations.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Rhode Island Lt. Gov. Daniel McKee is quarantining at home after coming into close contact with someone who later tested positive for COVID-19, officials said Saturday.
The lieutenant governor learned of the close contact Saturday morning, has since tested negative and is showing no symptoms, officials said. He will continue to be tested and will remained quarantined until midnight on Jan. 12, officials said.
McKee is poised to serve the remaining two years of Gov. Gina Raimondo’s term after Raimondo was named Democrat Joe Biden’s Biden’s pick for commerce secretary.
McKee said in a statement that “no one is above the rules of quarantine.”
“As a state official, I am committed to modeling the kind of response to this virus that I hope all Rhode Islanders would have. I will continue to meet with public health leaders and receive other critical briefings remotely,” he said.

LAS VEGAS — Nevada is reporting one of the state’s highest daily increases in coronavirus deaths since the pandemic began, and its worst week yet.
The state on Saturday reported 2,648 additional known COVID-19 cases and 56 additional deaths. That’s close to the record of 60 deaths reported only on Wednesday. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that the state’s one-week total of 299 COVID-19 deaths was the worst yet.
Nevada has now had 246,309 known COVID-19 cases and 3,450 deaths since the pandemic began.
The seven-day rolling average of daily new cases in Nevada increased from 2,115.3 on Dec. 25 to 2,373.6 on Friday while the rolling average of daily deaths rose from 33.6 to 35.4, according to data from Johns Hopkins University and The COVID Tracking Project.
Officials anticipate a spike in cases and deaths in coming weeks, following Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year’s gatherings.
___
LOS ANGELES — California health authorities on Saturday reported a record high of 695 coronavirus deaths as many hospitals strained under unprecedented caseloads.
The state Department of Public Health said the number raises the state’s death toll since the start of the pandemic to 29,233.
A surge of cases following Halloween and Thanksgiving produced record hospitalizations in California, and now the most seriously ill of those patients are dying in unprecedented numbers.
Already, many hospitals in Los Angeles and other hard-hit areas are struggling to keep up and warned they may need to ration care as intensive care beds dwindle.
___
OKLAHOMA CITY — An Oklahoma judge has extended a temporary restraining order allowing bars and restaurants across Oklahoma to stay open past an 11 p.m. curfew issued in November by Gov. Kevin Stitt in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
District Judge Susan Stallings heard arguments in the case Friday and extended the Dec. 29 order while she considers ruling in the lawsuit by bar owners who argue the governor doesn’t have legal authority to impose the curfew, according to court records.
Attorneys for the governor say state law gives Stitt “broad and flexible authority needed” to combat the spread of the virus.
On Saturday, Oklahoma has the sixth most new cases per capita in the nation with 1,218.16 per 100,000 residents, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. The state health department on Saturday reported 324,875 total cases and 2,738 deaths since the pandemic began.
___
JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday received the second dose of the coronavirus vaccine after becoming the first Israeli to be inoculated last month.
Israel is in the midst of a third nationwide lockdown after seeing a surge in cases despite unleashing one of the world’s fastest vaccination campaigns. The country has given the first of two vaccine doses to nearly 20% of its population, and Netanyahu said Saturday that it has secured enough vaccines to inoculate the whole adult population by the end of March.
Netanyahu has placed the vaccination drive at the center of his campaign for reelection that month, when Israel will hold its fourth nationwide vote in less than two years. In the meantime, he has called on Israelis to make “one last big effort” to halt transmission by adhering to the tightened restrictions.
Most schools and businesses were closed starting Friday, with people required to remain within 1,000 meters (yards) from home except for essential needs. Public gatherings are heavily restricted and public transportation is limited. The restrictions are to last for at least two weeks.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that the state’s one-week total of 299 COVID-19 deaths was the worst yet.\nNevada has now had 246,309 known COVID-19 cases and 3,450 deaths since the pandemic began.\nThe seven-day rolling average of daily new cases in Nevada increased from 2,115.3 on Dec. 25 to 2,373.6 on Friday while the rolling average of daily deaths rose from 33.6 to 35.4, according to data from Johns Hopkins University and The COVID Tracking Project.\nOfficials anticipate a spike in cases and deaths in coming weeks, following Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year’s gatherings.\n___\nLOS ANGELES — California health authorities on Saturday reported a record high of 695 coronavirus deaths as many hospitals strained under unprecedented caseloads.\nThe state Department of Public Health said the number raises the state’s death toll since the start of the pandemic to 29,233.\nA surge of cases following Halloween and Thanksgiving produced record hospitalizations in California, and now the most seriously ill of those patients are dying in unprecedented numbers.\nAlready, many hospitals in Los Angeles and other hard-hit areas are struggling to keep up and warned they may need to ration care as intensive care beds dwindle.\n___\nOKLAHOMA CITY — An Oklahoma judge has extended a temporary restraining order allowing bars and restaurants across Oklahoma to stay open past an 11 p.m. curfew issued in November by Gov. Kevin Stitt in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus.\nDistrict Judge Susan Stallings heard arguments in the case Friday and extended the Dec. 29 order while she considers ruling in the lawsuit by bar owners who argue the governor doesn’t have legal authority to impose the curfew, according to court records.\nAttorneys for the governor say state law gives Stitt “broad and flexible authority needed” to combat the spread of the virus.\nOn Saturday, Oklahoma has the sixth most new cases per capita in the nation with 1,218.16 per 100,000 residents, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. The state health department on Saturday reported 324,875 total cases and 2,738 deaths since the pandemic began.\n___\nJERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday received the second dose of the coronavirus vaccine after becoming the first Israeli to be inoculated last month.\nIsrael is in the midst of a third nationwide lockdown after seeing a surge in cases despite unleashing one of the world’s fastest vaccination campaigns. The country has given the first of two vaccine doses to nearly 20% of its population, and Netanyahu said Saturday that it has secured enough vaccines to inoculate the whole adult population by the end of March.\nNetanyahu has placed the vaccination drive at the center of his campaign for reelection that month, when Israel will hold its fourth nationwide vote in less than two years. In the meantime, he has called on Israelis to make “one last big effort” to halt transmission by adhering to the tightened restrictions.\nMost schools and businesses were closed starting Friday, with people required to remain within 1,000 meters (yards) from home except for essential needs. Public gatherings are heavily restricted and public transportation is limited. The restrictions are to last for at least two weeks.",

Surge in Arizona, world 'hot spot,' puts focus on governor

PHOENIX (AP) — Since early in the pandemic, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey has resisted instituting restrictive measures to try to keep the coronavirus cases from rising. All of those choices by the Republican governor are now getting renewed scrutiny as the Grand Canyon state becomes what health officials call the latest “hot spot of the world” because of soaring case loads. Ducey has rejected calls from health care leaders to tighten restrictions, arguing it would cause people to be out of work. He also dismissed a proposal to have all public schools go to virtual learning for two weeks after the holidays. Health officials are urging new measures as cases in the Southwestern state skyrocket.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — The unrelenting increases in coronavirus infections and hospitalizations in Spain following the holiday season are once again straining hospitals and increasingly threatening the mental health of workers. For nearly a year now, doctors and nurses have been fighting the pandemic with little time to rest. A study released last week found that nearly half of health care workers in Spain were at high risk of suffering from mental health disorders after the peak in April. Experts say the intensity and duration of the pandemic will only worsen health problems like depression and anxiety in already exhausted medical staff. One doctor says society must take care of its medical staff so they can care for those who most need help.

FBI vetting Guard troops in DC amid fears of insider attack

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. defense officials say they are worried about an insider attack or other threat from service members involved in securing President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration. That concern is prompting the FBI to vet all 25,000 National Guard troops coming into Washington for the event. The massive undertaking reflects the extraordinary security concerns that have gripped Washington following the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by pro-Trump rioters. And it underscores fears that some of the very people assigned to protect the city over the next several days could present a threat to the incoming president and other VIPs in attendance.

Minnesota's election law fight heats up over voter ID bill

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The fight has heated up over whether Minnesota should tighten its election laws or make voting easier. A key Senate panel Wednesday backed a Republican proposal to require voters to present photo identification. Sen. Scott Newman framed it as aimed more at increasing voter confidence in election results than at preventing fraud. But Democratic Secretary of State Steve Simon blasted the effort. He said an ID requirement could disenfranchise “hundreds of thousands of eligible voters.” The bill is unlikely to become law due to strong Democratic opposition.

CHICAGO (AP) — The president of the Chicago Police officers union is apologizing for defending the pro-Trump mob that stormed the nation’s Capitol. John Catanzara on Friday posted his apology on Facebook. He said his earlier comments were “poorly worded” and explained that he’d never justify such an attack. Catanzara made his initial comments before a U.S. Capitol officer had died after being attacked. Catanzara didn’t mention the officer’s death, saying only that his comments were made before he saw more video of the attack.

Shares have advanced in Asia as the changing of the guard in the U.S. is raising hopes for more support for the economy and more aggressive measures to fight the pandemic. Benchmarks were higher in Tokyo, Seoul and Hong Kong but slipped in Shanghai. President-elect Joe Biden’s nominee for treasury secretary, former Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen is calling on Congress to do more to fight the recession to avoid an even worse downturn. U.S. markets were closed Monday for a national holiday. Analysts say attention is focused on Wednesday’s inauguration and the beginning of a new administration as President Donald Trump departs.

LEXINGTON Ky. (AP) — An eastern Kentucky attorney who admitted to defrauding the government of more than $600 million is being sued by a former client. The case that seeks to overturn hundreds of small-claims judgments. James K. Gillman says he didn’t even know until recently that his disgraced former attorney Eric C. Conn had sued him in 2004 and obtained a judgment against him. Gillman is serving a two-year jail sentence and fears that Conn’s judgment against him could hurt his chance of being released on parole. The suit seeks to have the judgment set aside. It also seeks class-action status to include other former clients of Conn.

TOKYO (AP) — More than 80% of people in Japan who were surveyed in two polls in the last few days say the Tokyo Olympics should be canceled or postponed, or say they believe the Olympics will not take place during the COVID-19 pandemic. The polls were conducted by the Japanese news agency Kyodo and TBS — the Tokyo Broadcasting System. The results are bad news for Tokyo organizers and the International Olympic Committee as they continue to say the postponed Olympics will open on July 23. Tokyo is battling a surge of coronavirus cases that prompted the national government last week to call a state of emergency.

The number of elite tennis players in lockdown in Australia swelled to 72 after a fifth positive COVID-19 case emerged from the charter flights into Melbourne for the season-opening major. All players have to do a mandatory 14-day hotel quarantine but those who arrived on flights with no confirmed COVID-19 cases are allowed out of their hotel rooms to practice for up to five hours daily. The 72 who aren’t allowed to leave their rooms are finding other ways to stay healthy. The political leader of the state hosting the Australian Open says “there’s no special treatment here … because the virus doesn’t treat you specially, so neither do we.”

Cyprus to return to lockdown conditions to stem virus spread

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Cyprus is returning to lockdown mode for the remainder of the month after the country’s health minister conceded that a nightly curfew and other existing measures haven’t been enough to curtail the spread of the coronavirus. Health Minister Constantinos Ioannou said intensive care units treating COVID-19 patients in Cyprus have reached their limits and tougher restrictions are needed to prevent “people dying helpless because we don’t have available beds.” He says orders for daytime restrictions on movement and a shuttering of most schools will take on effect Sunday.

"NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Cyprus is returning to lockdown mode for the remainder of the month after the country’s health minister conceded that a nightly curfew and other existing measures haven’t been enough to curtail the spread of the coronavirus. Health Minister Constantinos Ioannou said intensive care units treating COVID-19 patients in Cyprus have reached their limits and tougher restrictions are needed to prevent “people dying helpless because we don’t have available beds.” He says orders for daytime restrictions on movement and a shuttering of most schools will take on effect Sunday. Individuals will only be permitted to go out twice each day with approval required.",

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota’s public safety chief says he’s taken steps to ensure that the state Capitol is safe, despite recent and planned protests there by supporters of President Donald Trump. But Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington is urging legislators to consider their rhetoric, saying the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol proves that words matter. Harrington wrote to legislators after a peaceful “Storm the Capitol” protest by about 500 people, including at least three Republican lawmakers, on Wednesday. Rally organizers have announced a “Stop the Steal” event at the state Capitol Saturday, with plans for protests outside the homes of unspecified public officials afterward.

TOKYO (AP) — Calls for a cancellation of the Tokyo Olympics are mounting and pressure is building for the Japanese organizers and the International Olympic Committee to explain exactly how they plan to hold the games in the midst of a pandemic. The IOC and organizers have been vague for months. This opens the door to speculation about a cancellation or a postponement. Some in the Japanese medical community are also voicing alarm. They are fearful that hospitals will be overwhelmed when the Olympics open on July 23. Organizers are expected to roll out “Playbooks” next week that detail what athletes and others will have to do to enter Japan.

Appeals court vacates order delaying woman's execution

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal appeals court has lifted a judge’s order that had blocked the execution date for the only woman on federal death row. The ruling was handed down Friday by a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. It concluded that a lower court judge erred when he concluded the Justice Department could not execute Lisa Montgomery on Jan. 12. Last week, U.S. District Court Judge Randolph Moss ruled the Justice Department unlawfully rescheduled Montgomery’s execution. He vacated an order from the director of the Bureau of Prisons scheduling her death for Jan. 12.
