2251 | I am asking in the domain of tech. Tell me about Africa needs unified regulations against cheap Chinese imports | {
"text": [
"I walked into a dusty wooden booth known in Sierra Leone as a 'boutique' to shop for fresh clothes. The airline hadn't delivered my luggage on my flight from Germany and I had been wearing the same clothes for days.\nWhen I left the boutique, I had a brand new pair of Armani jeans, D&G shorts and some Lacoste shirts. The items cost me about 500,000 Leones (β¬50, $58). In Sierra Leone, this is a form of cheap luxury for the middle-class. But for the EU or US, it's a result of China's gross violation of intellectual property and patent laws.\nRead also: Kenyans are saying 'Ni Hao' as Chinese language learning booms\nChina is facing hefty fines in the United States. In April, US President Donald Trump unveiled a list of over 1,000 Chinese products to be hit with 25 percent tariffs worth $50 billion. The Trump administration said this was punishment for Beijing's policy of forcing American companies to give up their intellectual property rights in order to do business with China.\nChina struck back with its own list targeting US exports worth the same amount. Economic experts dubbed this spat a \"trade war.\" Whatever the outcome of this political brouhaha between the world's two largest economies, the African continent is bound to feel the effects.\nChinese contraband on African markets\nIn the grid of \"boutiques\" along the main road of Koidu, a town in eastern Sierra Leone, Chinese bootlegged 'designer' clothes are all there is for the residents of the diamond-rich region. The only other choice comes in the form of used clothes from Europe and the US - an option which many African countries are growing more critical of.\n\"This is original GA,\" the boutique trader told me as I tried on the supposed Giorgio Armani (or GA) jeans. Original indeed! Between this pair of jeans and one costing β¬200 in a German store, the only difference I could see were the shop's flashing blue neon lights and 50 Cent's In da Club blaring out of loudspeakers in the background.\nCounterfeit Chinese-made textiles in Africa have improved so much so that if there is any difference between the original and the fake, a layman's eyes such as mine can't see it.\nEric Olander, co-founder of the China Africa Project, an organization based in South Africa, thinks it is too simple to say that Chinese firms are simply taking advantage of African governments.\n\"Both China and each of the African countries it engages with are working to maximize their own national interests and it becomes incredibly difficult to determine what is fair,\" Olander told me.\nThe supply of cheap Chinese counterfeit items has grown so voluminous that the counterfeiters' Clavin Klein brand inadvertently became more of a household name in Sierra Leone than actual Calvin Klein products. Instead of Samsung, your phone comes from Samsong and the radios are from Sunny instead of Sony.\nMany analysts believe that Beijing uses EU and US intellectual property to mass produce cheap goods and dump them onto African markets. But \"Africa is not unique in that regard,\" argued Olander. \"China does exactly the same thing in the USA, Asia, and the Middle East.\"\nI should add here that when I refer to \"China,\" I do not only mean the Chinese government, but also small to medium-sized private firms and multinational corporations.\nAfrica's 'free-for-all' intellectual property rights\nSo who is responsible for copyright violations in Africa?\n\"There are a few complicating factors\" in the Sino-African relationship, according to Cobus van Staden of the South African Institute of International Affairs. Van Staden is the co-founder of the China Africa Project, along with Eric Olander.\n\"There are high level products and low level products all coming out of China. But the most important thing is that Africans have been very active in funneling Chinese-made products to Africa,\" said van Staden, who hosts a regular podcast on Africa-China relations.\nA large group of Africans in China act as middlemen for legitimate as well as illegitimate African traders.\nBut van Staden believes Chinese authorities are starting to take the issue more seriously. \"Reports in the past are about counterfeit products coming in, but I think the Chinese government has been implementing new screening procedures.\"\nRead also:Opinion: China's Africa policy deserves applause\nUnified Africa regulations against Chinese influence\nFrom electronic gadgets to stationery, from providing cheap skilled labor to exporting natural resources, China has Africa covered.\n\"Interestingly, all kinds of school uniforms find their way here,\" said Ismail Bello, deputy secretary general of the National Union of Textile, Garment and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria. China's labor force is equipped with the know-how similar to most European nations. So arguably, it is cheaper for a primary school in Nigeria to import uniforms from China than to buy them from a local garment industry.\n\"The Nigerian textile and garment industry is at its lowest ebb,\" Bello said. \"In the 1960s, 70s and 80s, this industry thrived to an extent that it exported to the West African region, occasionally to East Africa. With the liberalization of the textile market in the 1990s and the influx of Chinese textiles, the industry began to decline.\"\n\"Local producers possibly have less than 15 percent of the market shares. It has resulted in several closures and loss of jobs over the years,\" Bello said.\nIn the 1980's, Nigeria's garment industry employed about 500,000 people. Currently, only about 15,000 work in the industry, according to the union.\nSo what's the solution? Regulations! \"I do think that having a stronger unified regulatory kind of apparatus to protect African intellectual property is really important,\" said van Staden.\nBut would China respect a unified African regulatory apparatus like the African Continental Free Trade Agreement - a proposed version of the agreement was sind in March 2018 by 44 out of 55 African Union member states. If ratified, the pact would lay down rules of trade for the entire African continent.\nAccording to van Staden, Chinese firms might actually adhere to such rules. \"Botswana and South Africa have complex regulatory framework and Chinese companies tend to work according to local laws,\" van Staden argued.\nThe relationship between the African continent and China is complex. It has its positive and negative sides.\nEric Olander explains: \"I can tell you that China is the worst thing that ever happened to Africa and list all of the horrors committed over the past ten years. I would be correct in every point.\"\n\"I can also tell you that China is the best thing that has ever happened to Africa and, again, I would be correct in every point. This is not a binary relationship,\" Olander said."

"text": [
"MEXICO CITY (AP) β The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has called for Mexico to take urgent action in the northern border city of Nuevo Laredo, where at least 23 people have disappeared since the start of February.\nThe human rights authority says there are strong indications that a federal security force is responsible. It says a local human rights organization believes there have been at least 40 such disappearances.\nIn a statement Wednesday, the U.N. office said that it had documented the disappearances of 21 males and two females, including at least five minors.\nAccording to statements to U.N. investigators, the disappearances typically occur at night while the victims are walking along or driving on roads. Sometimes their burned and bullet-riddled vehicles are found on roadsides."

"text": [
"FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) β President Donald Trump's decision to drastically reduce and break up a national monument in Utah wasn't the only blow Native American tribes say they were dealt last week.\nThe proclamation Trump signed changes the makeup of a tribal advisory commission for Bears Ears National Monument. It adds a San Juan County, Utah, commissioner who supported peeling back protections for the land.\nThe new commissioner, now Rebecca Benally, joins representatives of five tribes, serving as a planted ally of the reduction.\nFederal legislation also would create tribal co-management councils. The proposal by Utah Republican Rep. John Curtis excludes tribes outside Utah and lets the president hand-select most members.\nThe Utah congressional delegation sees the changes as unifying forces.\nTribes say they're yet more examples of being told what's good for them."

"INDIANAPOLIS (AP) β Myles Turner had 15 points and 11 rebounds, and the Indiana Pacers won their third straight game with a 105-101 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night.\nTurner gave the Pacers a 102-101 lead by hitting two free throws with 34 seconds left.\nWith two seconds remaining, Wayne Selden missed a floater in the lane that would have given Memphis the lead. Indiana came up with the rebound and sealed it at the foul line with less than a second left.\nAll five Pacers starters scored in double digits. Bojan Bogdanovic and Darren Collison each had 21 points, Victor Oladipo added 13 and Thaddeus Young had 10.\nThe teams traded the lead nine times in the first half, with Indiana taking a 55-53 lead into halftime. The Pacers opened the second half with a 9-3 run, but Memphis wouldn't go away. Trailing 100-95, the Grizzlies went on a 6-0 spurt to regain the lead with 1:57 to play.\nMarc Gasol missed a jumper with 11 seconds left that was rebounded by Selden, who attempted the potential game-winning floater.\nGasol finished with 23 points and nine rebounds. Selden led the Grizzlies with 24 points but was ejected with 0.7 seconds remaining after arguing he was fouled on his missed shot. Memphis coach J.B. Bickerstaff came onto the floor to join Selden in his altercation with officials."

"NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) β Leaders of a major Cyprus political party aren't supporting either the incumbent or his left-wing challenger in the runoff of the country's presidential election.\nThe executive bureau of center-right DIKO said Tuesday that endorsing either President Nicos Anastasiades or independent Stavros Malas would be a reversal of the party's stance on reunification talks with the divided nation's breakaway Turkish Cypriots.\nThe party's candidate in the election's first round on Sunday advocated a tougher line in the peace talks, saying Anastasiades and Malas would concede too much to the Turkish side.\nThe bureau says backing either runoff contender would diminish DIKO's credibility and be \"disrespectful\" to voters who cast ballots for party leader Nicholas Papadopoulos. He received more than one-quarter of the vote."

2261 | I am asking in the domain of business. Tell me about Will Golden Knights be surprise trade deadline buyers? | {
"text": [
"The Vegas Golden Knights' unpredictable success has put them in an unexpected spot.\nOn pace for by far the best inaugural season for an expansion franchise in NHL history, the Golden Knights are closer to winning the Presidents' Trophy as the team with the most points than they are to missing the playoffs. Going into the season, forwards James Neal, Jonathan Marchessault and David Perron all looked like potential trade bait in the final year of their contracts.\nNow they are among the leading scorers for a team in first place.\nMarchessault has already been re-signed to a $30 million, six-year contract, Neal was an All-Star and there are no signs that general manager George McPhee will do any kind of the selling off at the deadline that most expected.\n\"The plan was simple: If we're in the hunt or a playoff spot, we want to stay in the hunt for a playoff spot,\" McPhee said by phone last week. \"And if we're not, we'll do what teams do when they're not in the hunt. The focus every day is to be the best we can be and see where we are come the deadline.\"\nVegas has a six-game road trip and a seven-game home stand before the Feb. 26 deadline. Visits to Central Division powerhouse Winnipeg, defending Stanley Cup-champion Pittsburgh and former McPhee stomping ground Washington will test the Golden Knights, but their jaw-dropping effort so far has given them a nine-point cushion atop the Pacific Division.\nIn addition to Marchessault, Perron and Neal, William Karlsson has been a revelation with a career-high 27 goals after scoring 28 in his first 183 games. Goalie Marc-Andre Fleury has been as good as everyone thought he would be after missing time with a concussion, and an unheralded blue line led by Nate Schmidt and Colin Miller has done the job.\nVegas has scored the third-most goals and allowed the sixth fewest. Can an expansion team top the list of Cup contenders? Maybe so, along with the Eastern Conference-leading Tampa Bay Lightning. Would McPhee see any way of being a buyer at the deadline and potentially cutting into the organization's surplus of draft picks and prospects?\n\"It's hard to answer now because that's a month away,\" McPhee said. \"There's a long way to go between now and then. At this point, we'll try to stay in it. I don't know whether we would add. I don't have the answer to that question.\"\nPerhaps the Golden Knights' only weakness is the power play, where they're 21st in the league. One of the most available potential deadline pickups is Mike Green of the Detroit Red Wings, whose 13 power-play points are tied for ninth among defenseman. He was a 2004 first-round pick of McPhee's with the Capitals.\nGreen has a full no-trade clause, so he can pick his destination.\n\"I think in this league there's always uncertainty,\" Green said during All-Star weekend. \"I've been around long enough I know how it works and what to expect. I think that's why I don't think about it all that much other than I understand the process, and when the decisions have to be made I'll be ready to make them.\"\nTAVARES WATCH\nWhile Green is a pending free agent who's expected to be available, New York Islanders captain John Tavares very much isn't. Tavares is 27 and tied for fifth in goals and points. He's also the face of a franchise that will soon be moving to the new Belmont Park complex, closer to many members of their Long Island fan base. In the same spot is fellow Canadian Steven Stamkos, who re-signed with the Lightning in the summer of 2016 just before hitting free agency, Tavares said he hasn't sought out the Tampa Bay captain's opinion or anyone else's.\n\"I try to be myself and be the best I can,\" Tavares said. \"I don't think because it's my contract year my approach or my thought process and the way I play should change. I just go out there on a nightly basis and worry about playing and try and have success and contribute. None of the other stuff comes into my mind when it comes to playing.\"\nMVP RACE\nWhen the Professional Hockey Writers' Association conducted its midseason award voting, Tampa Bay's Nikita Kucherov edged out the Colorado Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon for the Hart Trophy. It might hinge on whether MacKinnon can get the Avalanche to the playoffs and who leads the league in scoring. Right now it's Kucherov in the lead.\n\"His work ethic, his skill obviously is great,\" Capitals star and fellow Russian winger Alex Ovechkin said. \"In the next year or next couple of years, he's going to be the best player or he's going to be one of them.\"\nTHEY SAID IT\n\"Hockey's a funny game. It goes in 10-game segments. We started off 9-2 and then in our last 11, I think we're 2-9-2. So what team are we?\" β New Jersey Devils winger Taylor Hall, who returned Monday after missing three games with a right thumb injury.\nGAME OF THE WEEK\nThe Toronto Maple Leafs visit the Boston Bruins on Saturday in what is becoming an increasingly likely first-round matchup.\nLEADERS (through the All-Star break)\nGoals: Ovechkin, 30; Assists: Jakub Voracek (Philadelphia); Points: Kucherov, 64; Ice Time: Drew Doughty (Los Angeles), 27:13; Wins: Andrei Vasilevskiy (Tampa Bay), 29; Goals-against average: Tuukka Rask (Boston), 2.16; Save percentage: Vasilevskiy, .931.\n___\nAP Hockey Writer John Wawrow in Buffalo, New York, and Sports Writer Fred Goodall in Tampa, Florida, contributed.\n___\nFollow Hockey Writer Stephen Whyno on Twitter at https://twitter.com/SWhyno\n___\nFor more NHL coverage: https://apnews.com/tag/NHLhockey"

2263 | I am asking in the domain of tech. Tell me about Carter's second goal gives Kings 4-3 OT win over Wild | {
"text": [
"ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) β Jeff Carter scored his second goal of the game with 33.8 seconds left on the clock in overtime and the Los Angeles Kings recovered after giving up a two-goal lead to beat the Minnesota Wild 4-3 on Monday night.\nTanner Pearson and Dustin Brown also scored for Los Angeles, which has alternated wins and losses over its past nine games. The Kings pulled into a tie with Anaheim for third place in the Pacific Division with 86 points, and hold the tiebreaker over the Ducks.\nJonathan Quick made 24 saves for the Kings, who appeared headed to a second straight loss until Brown tipped home a point shot from Drew Doughty with 46.5 seconds left in regulation. Doughty finished with three assists.\nJoel Eriksson Ek scored for the first time in 13 games with 2:31 left to give Minnesota the lead after trailing 2-0.\nEric Staal added his 39th and Zach Parise had his second goal in three games for the Wild. Devan Dubnyk stopped 26 shots for Minnesota, which is in third in the Central Division, four points ahead of Colorado.\nPearson opened the scoring before the end of the first period with his 15 goal of the year after Dustin Brown's quick no-look pass back to Pearson for a quick one-timer with 1:13 left in the period.\nLos Angeles added a power-play goal in the second by Jeff Carter. Jake Muzzin's shot from the point deflected off Minnesota's Mikko Koivu, slowing the puck down and bouncing to Carter, who had an open net to the right of Dubnyk.\nCarter has seven goals and two assists in 12 games since returning from surgery to repair a tendon in his ankle.\nThe two-goal deficit ignited the Wild, who pressured and scored their first goal about six minutes later as Parise brought the puck in the zone and skated across the front and snapping a wrist shot past Quick.\nMinnesota added its own late-period goal to end the second when Staal scored his 13th goal in the past 14 games. Ryan Suter sent Staal into the zone on a long pass and Staal's quick shot flew past Quick's right shoulder with 56 seconds left.\nNOTES: Los Angeles F Trevor Lewis left the game with an upper body injury and did not return. ... Kings D Derek Forbort left the game in the first after he was cut near his ear by Zach Parise's skate but did return in the second. ... Per the Elias Sports Bureau, Staal could join Gordie Howe as the only players in NHL history with at least nine seasons between 40-goal campaigns. Staal has his most since scoring 40 in 2008-09. ... Los Angeles C Alex Iafallo was scratched for the first time since Jan. 4, a span of 32 games. Andy Andreoff was in the lineup after being scratched 11 games in a row. ... Minnesota got three assists from its defensemen. Wild defenseman have now accounted for 36 goals and 142 assists this season. Their 178 points from the blue line is second only to Nashville's 181 this season.\nUP NEXT\nKings: At Winnipeg on Tuesday night.\nWild: Are off until hosting Nashville on Saturday.\n___\nMore NHL hockey: https://apnews.com/tag/NHLhockey"

"text": [
"STUTTGART, Germany (AP) β Former United States defender Steven Cherundolo joined Bundesliga club Stuttgart on Tuesday as an assistant coach.\nStuttgart said the 38-year-old Cherundolo, who was last in charge of Bundesliga rival Hannover's under-17 team, joined with Ilija Aracic as a co-trainer for head coach Tayfun Korkut, who was appointed as Hannes Wolf's replacement on Monday.\nStuttgart parted company with Wolf on Sunday following the team's 2-0 loss to Schalke. It was Stuttgart's sixth loss in seven Bundesliga games and it left the club only three points above the relegation zone.\nCherundolo is breaking his association with Hannover, which he joined as a player in 1999 before going on to make 302 Bundesliga and 68 second-division appearances. He was captain from 2010 until he ended his playing career and began coaching in 2014. Cherundolo also made 87 appearances for the United States.\nThe 47-year-old Aracic is returning to Stuttgart after coaching the club's under-19 team from 2012-15. He was last in charge of fourth-tier club FV Illertissen.\nAracic, a former striker, made 25 league appearances for Hertha Berlin, while he also had spells at second-division teams Chemnitzer FC, Tennis Borussia Berlin and Arminia Bielefeld.\nKorkut and his new coaching team have been charged with ensuring Stuttgart does not make an immediate return to the second division after securing promotion as division champion under Wolf last season. The 36-year-old Wolf had been in charge since September 2016."

"text": [
"CAIRO (AP) β Egypt's state censors have allowed the performance of a socially critical play they had prohibited on the day of its Cairo premiere.\nDirector Ahmed El Attar had earlier cancelled the showing of \"Before the Revolution,\" a two-actor piece that depicts oppression and stagnation in Egypt before its 2011 popular uprising. He said the removal of five scenes as demanded by the censors heavily distorted it.\nIn a statement late Monday, organizers thanked the censors for reversing their decision on appeal and permitting it to run \"without the disruption of its dramatic construction.\"\nThe play will now run for three nights as opposed to its originally scheduled six in a 100-seat theatre, as part of Cairo's annual Downtown Contemporary Arts Festival. El Attar is also the general manager of the festival."

"text": [
"SKOPJE, Macedonia (AP) β Customs officers in Macedonia say they have seized more than 300 kilograms of cannabis in a truck, hidden in pallets loaded with sacks of rice, at a border crossing with Greece.\nThe customs office said Tuesday that the drugs, bound for Western Europe, had an estimated street value of 800,000 euros ($990,000). The 36-year-old Greek truck driver, whose name wasn't provided, was arrested on trafficking charges.\nThe office said the vehicle had started out in Athens and that details of the case had been forwarded to a prosecutor's office.\nMacedonia is a major transit point for international drug traffickers, including the transport of heroin from southwest Asia to Europe, and has recently seen a spike in cannabis trafficking, according to reports from European Union monitoring agencies."

2272 | I am asking in the domain of sports. Tell me about Reports say Mueller probe now examining possible obstruction | {
"text": [
"WASHINGTON (AP) β The special counsel appointed to investigate Russian influence in the 2016 presidential campaign is now examining whether President Donald Trump tried to obstruct justice, it has been reported.\nAccusations of obstruction arose last month when Trump fired FBI Director James Comey. Comey testified in a Senate hearing last week that he believed he was fired \"because of the Russia investigation.\"\nComey also testified he had told Trump he was not under investigation.\nThe Washington Post reported late Wednesday that Mueller was seeking interviews with three Trump administration officials who weren't involved in Trump's campaign: Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence; Michael Rogers, the head of the National Security Agency; and Richard Ledgett, the former NSA deputy director.\nMark Corallo, a spokesman for Trump's personal lawyer, responded Wednesday evening to the Post report by saying: \"The FBI leak of information regarding the president is outrageous, inexcusable and illegal.\"\nThe Post report cited anonymous sources who were briefed on requests made by investigators. It was not known whether the FBI was the source of the information. The New York Times also reported the story.\nMueller met Wednesday with the leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee in an effort to ensure their investigations don't conflict.\nThe leaders of the Senate Intelligence committee said in a statement issued Wednesday that they \"look forward to future engagements\" with Robert Mueller.\nSenate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C., and Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the panel's top Democrat, didn't provide any other details regarding the meeting. An aide familiar with the meeting said it was held to discuss the investigations, including ways that the parallel inquiries don't interfere with or overlap one another. The aide spoke on condition of anonymity because the meeting was private.\nThe meeting comes a day after lawmakers questioned Justice Department officials about the probe and Mueller's independence, and after a friend of Trump said the White House was considering firing Mueller.\nDeputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed Mueller last month, testified Tuesday he has seen no evidence of good cause to fire Mueller.\nAlso Wednesday, Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles Grassley said his panel will investigate the removal of former FBI Director James Comey and \"any alleged improper partisan interference in law enforcement investigations.\"\nGrassley announced the investigation in a letter to California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the panel's top Democrat. Grassley's office said the letter is in response to a recent letter from Feinstein requesting that the committee seek details from senior FBI leadership about Comey's interactions with President Donald Trump before he was fired.\nThe letter said the investigation will also probe Comey's testimony that Loretta Lynch, as President Barack Obama's attorney general, had directed him to describe an FBI probe into Hillary Clinton's email practices as merely a \"matter\" and to avoid calling it an investigation.\n\"You and I agree that the American people deserve a full accounting of attempts to meddle in both our democratic processes and the impartial administration of justice ... It is my view that fully investigating the facts, circumstances, and rationale for Mr. Comey's removal will provide us the opportunity to do that on a cooperative, bipartisan basis,\" according to the letter.\nFeinstein has said the Judiciary Committee should investigate, but had asked Grassley to keep the investigations separate. Grassley said Comey's dismissal and Comey's testimony on Lynch should be looked at together, noting that Comey \"took the opportunity in his testimony to clear his own name by denouncing as false the administration's claims that the FBI rank-and-file had lost confidence in Mr. Comey's leadership in the wake of the Clinton email investigation.\""

2276 | I am asking in the domain of politics. Tell me about AP Explains: The obscure law in spotlight after Flynn's call | {
"text": [
"WASHINGTON (AP) β Michael Flynn's conversations with a Russian diplomat roiled the White House and put a spotlight on a little-enforced law prohibiting U.S. citizens from trying to influence a foreign government in disputes with the United States.\nFlynn resigned as national security adviser after conceding that he may have discussed U.S. sanctions in phone calls with Russia's ambassador to the United States while Barack Obama was still in office. Those conversations may have violated the Logan Act, which aims to bar private citizens from conducting diplomacy, though White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Tuesday that no legal issues arose.\nStill, the centuries-old act has been so rarely invoked that legal experts say it may no longer be valid. And no one has been found guilty of violating the act in its more than 200-year history.\nA look at the Logan Act and whether such conversations could lead to charges.\nWHAT IS THE LOGAN ACT?\nLawmakers enacted the Logan Act in 1799 after George Logan, a friend of Thomas Jefferson, made a private visit to France in an attempt to ease tensions with the United States after the French Revolution. That trip was sharply criticized back home as an inappropriate interference in affairs between the two countries, prompting the passage of the law.\nHAS IT EVER BEEN USED BEFORE?\nSince then, there appear to have been very few indictments, and no prosecutions, under the obscure act. Legal experts say that would make potential violations even harder to prove in court.\nThe one known indictment came in 1803 after a Kentucky farmer wrote a newspaper article advocating for a separate country within the United States that would ally with France. But no prosecution followed.\n\"It really is an anachronism,\" written during a very different time in diplomatic and constitutional history, said Stephen Vladeck, a professor at the University of Texas School of Law. \"The statue was written at a time when Congress thought it had the power to criminalize this kind of ill-conceived, but not illegal, speech.\"\nOver the years, politicians and public figures have been accused of violating the Logan Act, often by political rivals. The Rev. Jesse Jackson's diplomatic activities in several countries in the 1980s, including trips to Cuba to negotiate the release of prisoners, raised questions about whether he violated the act. So did former NBA star Dennis Rodman's travels to North Korea to meet with dictator Kim Jong Un in 2014. Another allegation involved a letter sent by 47 Republican senators to Iran's leaders in 2015, warning them against making a nuclear deal with Obama.\nNone of those cases yielded criminal charges. A court could find the Logan Act no longer valid under a legal doctrine that says statutes become unenforceable if they are never used.\nIF FLYNN DISCUSSED SANCTIONS, DIDN'T HE BREAK THE LAW?\nDiscussing economic sanctions against Russia with the Russian envoy during the American presidential transition could have been a violation of the act. But that doesn't mean it will result in charges against Flynn. Prosecutors, for questions of resources or interpretations of the law, sometimes opt not to pursue criminal cases even when presented with a clear violation. And when it comes to the Logan Act, they would have to overcome a difficult defense that Flynn's phone calls were protected free speech. They would also have to prove Flynn was actually acting without the authority of the United States, Vladeck said.\nAnd then find a prosecutor willing to take the case.\nA U.S. official told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the FBI interviewed Flynn about his actions with the ambassador. But the content of the conversations is unclear.\nThe official was briefed on the investigation but was not authorized to discuss it by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.\nIf Flynn lied to investigators, he would have opened himself up to a possible felony prosecution for making false statements.\nBut Vladeck called threats to prosecute under the Logan Act \"an increasingly empty gesture.\"\n\"It's a fun game for commentators to play,\" he said. \"It's a way of turning what looks like a really bad move into a potentially illegal one.\"\n___\nAssociated Press writer Eric Tucker contributed to this report."

2278 | I am asking in the domain of politics. Tell me about Wynn Resorts posts 1Q loss on legal settlement charge | {
"text": [
"NEW YORK (AP) β Wynn Resorts reported a first-quarter loss on Tuesday, its bottom line weighed by a nearly $465 million charge link to a legal settlement.\nBut after stripping away that one-time expense, it comfortably beat Wall Street's profit expectations, boosted by its gambling business in Macau even as the company grappled with sexual misconduct allegation forced the ouster of CEO Steve Wynn.\nThe company's new CEO, Matt Maddox, said he was \"as excited as ever about the future prospects of this company.\" He said the company had seen \"no degradation of business\" during a reporting period marked by the scandal.\nWynn Resorts in March settled a 6-year-old legal battle with a Tokyo casino game maker and its U.S. unit over the forced redemption of their shares in the company. It agreed to pay $2.4 billion to Universal Entertainment Corp., which previously held an almost 20 percent stake in Wynn Resorts through its subsidiary Aruze USA Inc.\nThe company blamed expenses related to the settlement for the loss of $204.3 million, or $1.99 a share, in the three-month period that ended March 31. A year ago it earned $100.8 million, or 99 cents a share.\nIts profit, adjusted for non-recurring costs, was $237.0 million, a 45 percent rise from $130.9 million in the same period of 2017, the company said in its first earnings report since the sexual misconduct scandal broke in January. The adjusted earnings came to $2.30 per share, topping analyst expectations for $1.96 per share, according to Zacks Investment Research.\nWynn resigned as chairman and CEO and later sold his company shares after the Wall Street Journal reported that several women said he harassed or assaulted them and that one case led to a $7.5 million settlement. He denies the allegations. He has filed a defamation lawsuit against The Associated Press for its reporting on a separate allegation made to police.\nThe company's earnings report came a day after Wynn's ex-wife, who is also the biggest shareholder and co-founder of Wynn Resorts, announced she was seeking the removal of one of the company's directors overseeing an internal investigation into the sexual misconduct allegations. Elaine Wynn said in a filing Monday with U.S. regulators that John Hagenbuch is allied too closely with Steve Wynn, and asked shareholders to reject his re-election.\nIn a statement in response to Elaine Wynn's letter, the company noted its decision last week to add three women directors to its board but did not directly address Hagenbuch's status.\nThe final piece of the company's long-running legal battle also ended earlier this month with Wynn agreeing to pay his ex-wife $25 million in a settlement. Elaine Wynn had joined the dispute alleging that had been unfairly removed from the board by her ex-husband and others in 2015 because of her inquiries into company activities.\nWynn Resorts said Elaine Wynn dropped claims against it, and the company made no payment under the agreement.\nFirst-quarter revenue jumped at both of the company's casinos in Macau, the Chinese enclave where regulators have been inquiring about the sexual misconduct allegations.\nBut in fallout over the scandal, Maddox cast doubt on the future of a casino under construction in Massachusetts. Gambling regulators in the state are conducting a review to determine where Wynn Resorts should continue to hold the state's only greater Boston casino license.\nMaddox said the company remains excited about the Massachusetts market but would to take \"hard look\" at the $2.5 billion project if there were indications that \"contagion\" from the controversy was affecting the rest of its business.\nThe company says it expects the Wynn Boston Harbor resort to open in mid-2019.\nIts stock was down 2.3 percent to 185.6 in after-hours trading after the earnings report.\n_____\nElements of this story were generated by Automated Insights (http://automatedinsights.com/ap) using data from Zacks Investment Research.

"text": [
"SAO PAULO (AP) β Brazil's National Petroleum Agency says that for the first time, the country's pre-salt oil reserves now account for more than half of its production of oil equivalent.\nThe agency said on its website Wednesday that Brazil extracted 1.685 million barrels of oil from pre-salt reserves. That was 50.7 percent of the overall production of 3.325 million barrels.\nThe reserves lie offshore in the Atlantic more than a mile (1.6 kilometers) below the ocean's surface and under an additional 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) of soil and corrosive salt.\nAccording to the agency, Brazil's pre-salt reserves accounted for 40 percent of total production in 2016."

"WASHINGTON (AP) β The Secret Service is warning financial institutions about a type of cyberattack known as jackpotting.\nSecret Service officials say the crime involves installing malicious software or hardware at ATMs that force the machines to release large quantities of cash on demand.\nThey say criminals have been able to find vulnerabilities in financial institutions that operate ATMs, typically stand-alone machines located in pharmacies, big-box retailers and drive-thrus.\nThe Secret Service says the criminals range from individual actors to international organized crime syndicates.\nThe Secret Service says authorities have recently obtained credible information about planned jackpotting attacks in the U.S. and have alerted law enforcement and financial institutions."

"Taipei, Feb. 3 (CNA) Contrary to media reports, neither the president nor vice president of Taiwan is planning to visit the country's diplomatic allies in Africa and the Caribbean soon, the Presidential Office said Saturday.\nThe statement was made in response to reporters' questions about a story in the Apple Daily, which said Saturday that President Tsai Ing-wen (θ‘θ±ζ) is scheduled this year to visit four of Taiwan's diplomatic allies in the Caribbean and two in Africa.\nPresidential Office spokesman Sidney Lin (ζιΆ΄ζ), however, told the press that there are currently no plans in place for such visits by either Tsai or Vice President Chen Chien-jen (ι³ε»Ίδ»).\nWhen any visits by Taiwan's two top leaders are scheduled, the Presidential Office usually informs the public, Lin said, dismissing the report as speculation.\nThe countries mentioned in the report were Swaziland and Burkina Faso in Africa, and St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean.\nAccording to news media in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Taiwan's Minister of Foreign Affairs David Lee paid an official visit there on Feb. 1 and signed two agreements for Taiwan to provide assistance in the areas of health and information security."

"SAN ANTONIO (AP) β Officers responding to a report of a suspicious person armed with a gun have shot and killed a man at a downtown San Antonio hotel.\nBike patrol and other officers encountered the man early Tuesday on the seventh floor of an Embassy Suites.\nLt. Ricky Lopez told the San Antonio Express-News that officers confronted the man and the situation escalated, resulting in officers firing on the man. It's not clear what happened to prompt police to shoot, and authorities have not said whether the man was in fact armed.\nThe investigation into the matter continues.\nThe incident drew a heavy police presence downtown, with some blocks closed to traffic.\nNo other details have been made available."

2285 | I am asking in the domain of tech. Tell me about Getty Museum returns ancient statue to Italian government | {
"text": [
"LOS ANGELES (AP) β The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles is returning an ancient marble statue to Italy.\nThe museum announced Wednesday that the \"Statue of Zeus Enthroned\" is being voluntarily returned after the Italian government said it obtained a recently discovered fragment of the sculpture.\nThe 29-inch-high statuette is believed to date from the 1st century BC.\nThe museum bought the piece in 1992 from an American couple but the Los Angeles Times says (http://lat.ms/2sAWgvn ) there's no documentation indicating it was legally exported.\nAt the time of purchase, the Getty's senior antiquities curator was Marion True. Italy later indicted True for conspiracy to traffic in illegal antiquities but eventually dropped the case.\nHowever, in the past decade, the Getty has returned dozens of artworks to Italy and Greece."

2290 | I am asking in the domain of tech. Tell me about 'O Monstro' Thiago Silva back to his best in Russia | {
"text": [
"KAZAN, Russia (AP) β Four years after Brazil's humiliation at its home World Cup, Thiago Silva is back to his best in Russia, a country where his then-burgeoning career was almost tragically cut short years ago.\nThe 33-year-old Brazil center back β who is nicknamed \"O Monstro\" for his exceptional physical abilities β is probably playing in his final World Cup, and he has been enjoying a perfect tournament so far.\nWhile forward Neymar attracted negative comments for his antics on the field, Silva has been irreproachable. The captain arguably has been the best center back of the tournament, alongside Uruguay captain Diego Godin.\nLike Uruguay, Brazil has conceded only one goal in Russia so far, from a set piece in its opening 1-1 draw with Switzerland . And the Selecao's rivals have managed only five shots on target in their four matches against the five-time champions.\nSilva has been playing a key role in helping Brazil achieve those impressive statistics, anchoring the defense with authority and class. During the 2-0 win against Mexico that guaranteed Brazil advanced to the quarterfinals for the seventh consecutive time, Silva was decisive both in the air and on the ground, blocked several shots and made two clearances.\n\"It's a huge joy to be doing an excellent cup and to be growing with every game,\" Silva said. \"I'm happy about my performance, and the performance of the team.\"\nHappiness and joy have been hard to come by during some stretches of Silva's career.\nThe native of Rio de Janeiro went through hard times after Brazil's 7-1 loss to Germany at the last World Cup. Silva did not play in that game because he was suspended, but he was harshly criticized and branded a cry baby for his emotional outbursts as he was pictured in tears before a penalty shootout against Chile in the round of 16.\nAfter the tournament, he was stripped of the team's captaincy by new coach Dunga, then left off the regular roster after the 2015 Copa America. He returned from exile in September 2016 for World Cup qualifiers after being called up by Dunga's successor, Tite.\nThose professional ups and downs are nothing compared to the ordeal Silva went through back in 2005, when he spent about six months in a Moscow hospital after he contracted tuberculosis. Regarded at the time as one of the world's most promising defenders, Silva had been sent on loan from Porto to Dynamo Moscow alongside several teammates.\n\"It was probably the worst episode of my life,\" Silva said.\nIt was during a training camp in Portugal that doctor Yuri Vassilkov, who had traveled along with the team, noticed that Silva had a persistent cough.\n\"He had temperature and we thought it was a simple cold,\" Vassilkov said in an interview with L'Equipe newspaper this week. \"I gave him some medication but he did not improve. I was a bit worried and I sent him for exams at the British hospital in Lisbon. The diagnosis was terrible: tuberculosis. It was a shock.\"\nVassilkov believes that the diagnosis was so late that Silva was weeks away from dying.\nSilva was brought back to Moscow, where he was hospitalized in a center specializing in tuberculosis treatment. At the time, Silva did not speak English or Russian and went through a bout of depression.\n\"The cold, the lack of natural light, the fact that I could not speak to anybody ... All this was very difficult to handle,\" Silva remembered in an interview with Belgian Sport/Foot magazine.\nAfter Russian doctors at one point considered removing part of his lungs, Silva survived and fully recovered. He never played a game for Dynamo, and these painful events are just bad memories now.\n\"That would have ended my career. I needed guardian angels to take me away,\" Silva said. \"I was a bit overwhelmed in a friendly we played against Russia this year. It is different for me to play there. I hope I can erase that by lifting the World Cup trophy.\"\n___\nAssociated Press writer Luis Andres Henao in Samara contributed to this report.\n___\nMore AP World Cup coverage: https://apnews.com/tag/WorldCup"

2291 | I am asking in the domain of tech. Tell me about Why now is a critical time to pay off credit card debt | {
"text": [
"It's always good to pay off your credit card debt, but now may be a better time than ever to do so.\nAmericans' debt levels have been growing and interest rates are rising β a combination that could put consumers in a bind if they carry a balance on their cards.\nThe Federal Reserve said earlier this month that overall consumer borrowing in the U.S. jumped 8.8 percent in November, the most in more than two years, a sign of growing confidence in the economy. The category of debt made up mostly of credit cards jumped $11.2 billion, the most in a year, to $1.02 trillion.\nThat is the highest level on record, without adjusting for inflation.\nRising debt levels can mean consumers feel better about the economy and are more willing to spend. But some experts say people may be over-extending themselves. And with the Federal Reserve expected to hike a key interest rate further this year, the cost for carrying debt on credit cards is likely to rise.\n\"Everyone has this sense that there is a storm brewing,\" said Bruce McClary, spokesman for the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. \"All indications that we've seen are that people are carrying higher balances from month-to-month and more are behind on their monthly payments. That's not a healthy mix.\"\nSo what can you do?\nTAKE CONTROL\n\"To know where you are going, you need to know where you have been,\" McClary said.\nThat means taking a hard look at your financial picture. Take stock of your debts, along with associated interest rates and minimum payments. Track your spending to get a sense of where your money goes each month.\nREDUCE RATES\nAsk your credit card companies if they will lower your rates.\nThe average annual percentage rate on a credit card is around 16 percent. That's pretty steep, so you may want to consider moving your balance to a card with a lower or zero-interest introductory rate to help pay it off faster.\nA word of warning: you'll probably have to pay a balance transfer fee and pay the balance off before that promotion window ends or you could face accumulated interest.\nPICK A PLAN\nThere are two common debt repayment strategies β avalanche and snowball.\nThe avalanche works by putting all your extra money toward your highest interest rate debt. Once that's paid off, you start paying off the next most expensive debt until it's all gone.\nWhile the avalanche makes the most sense financially, sometimes the snowball method provides more motivation. With this strategy, you pay off the smallest debt first, to boost your spirits. Then you use that momentum to pay off the next biggest bill and so on, building your efforts like a snowball.\nIt doesn't really matter which one you use, just that you do it, said Lauren Zangardi Haynes, a financial advisor. You also need to break the spending habits that got you into debt in the first place.\nIf you just can't find a way to make your payments work at all, consider finding a nonprofit credit counseling organization at nfcc.org.\nSTICK TO IT\nThis is the hard part.\n\"It's an extremely long journey to get debt free and it can be lonely,\" Zangardi Haynes said. She suggests finding a coach or accountability partner to help keep you on track and energized.\nRemember your sole focus should be getting out of debt, so don't plan any fancy vacations or big purchases for now. You may backslide or hit some road bumps but don't let that sap your motivation, McClary said.\nIf possible, set aside a small cushion of cash to help with unexpected expenses that you might be tempted to put on a card.\n\"It's not going to be easy but it's worth doing,\" Zangardi Haynes said."

"ISTANBUL (AP) β The waters around Istanbul have turned a striking shade of turquoise.\nA natural phenomenon called a \"phytoplankton bloom\" has turned the normally dark waters of the Bosporus and Golden Horn into an opaque tone of light blue.

"TAIPEI (Taiwan News) -- Taiwan's flag was hoisted and lowered for the last time yesterday in a closed ceremony at the Taiwan embassy in Panama's capital city of the same name, a day after Panama suddenly announced it was switching diplomatic relations from Taiwan to the communist regime in China.\nThe ceremony, which began at 10:30 a.m., was not open to the public and was only attended by embassy staff. As the flag was raised, the staff solemnly sang Taiwan's national anthem.\nAccording to a overseas Taiwanese man in Panama, who spoke to CNA, local media outlets have been criticizing the move to sever 107 years of relations with Taiwan in favor of China.\nAlthough the Panamanian government had banned local media from attending the flag ceremony, media outlets still covered the event. Local Panamanian TV station TVN used a drone to film the ceremony, while the international Spanish language news agency EFE filmed the ceremony from the roof of its office next door.\nIn the EFE video, which was posted on YouTube, embassy staff members can bee seen folding the flag one last time as they fight back tears.\nAt the ceremony, Taiwan's new ambassador to Panama, Miguel Tsao (ζΉη«ε) reiterated Taiwan's condemnation of of Panama's decision and called for everyone to unite together to face the current challenges, according to an overseas Taiwanese man who attended the ceremony.\nAfter the lowering of the flag and group photos were completed, the 107 years of friendship between Panama and Taiwan formally came to an end."

A federal judge must now decide whether an investigation is warranted for Macri, Communication Minister Oscar Aguad and the ministry's director of legal affairs, Juan Manuel Mocoroa.\nThe case involves Correo Argentino, the country's post office that was owned by the president's father in the 1990s until it went bankrupt in 2001. The government agreed last year to settle the debt of almost 300 million pesos by having the company pay back twice that amount but in installments spread out until 2033.\nLast week, the general prosecutor of the Appellate Court, Gabriela Boquin, ruled the deal was prejudicial to the state."

"text": [
"ASUNCION, Paraguay (AP) β Paraguay's President Horacio Cartes has suffered at least a temporary a setback in his effort to take up a Senate seat once his term ends in August.\nOpponents both outside his own party and within it boycotted a congressional session on Wednesday. The lack of a quorum blocked a vote on his resignation request.\nHe needs to leave office by June 30 to be sworn in with other senators because Paraguay's constitution says he can't hold two offices at once.\nCartes couldn't seek re-election and the Senate seat would be a way to extend his political influence. Some experts argue it also might help block any possible prosecution on corruption allegations.\nAnalysts say Cartes still has plenty of time before the deadline to win enough votes."

"text": [
"SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 23, 2018--Bodhi, the decentralized prediction market platform, today announced that it has deployed a live beta on the Qtum mainnet.\nThis press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180423005472/en/\nThis platform will allow users to leverage the wisdom of the crowd to more accurately predict the outcome of future events.\nβWe're excited to have Bodhi lead the way by launching the first DApp on Qtum. Bodhi is serverless and runs on blockchain, itβs a real working decentralized application and thatβs what this is all about,β said Patrick Dai, founder of Qtum.\nβIt's a major milestone for us. While other prediction markets are still not live, we already have a fully-decentralized blockchain application for the public to use,β said Xiahong Lin, founder of Bodhi.\nUsing the Bodhi platform is straightforward; any user can create prediction events they are interested in. Other users can join prediction events with or against the initial creator. When the event ends, oracles set the result. If the public agrees on the initial result, winners collect their rewards and the event is complete. This naturally sets the odds of the event outcome: $1 on the βyesβ option and $2 on βnoβ inherently sets 2:1 odds for βyesβ voters. Upon successful completion of the dispute phase, correct guessers receive both the original event-tokens, as well as additional incentive payments.\nIf a dispute arises, the βreplaceable oracleβ mechanism phase is invoked. Bodhiβs innovative decentralized βreplaceable oracleβ mechanism is powered by Bodhiβs digital token (BOT). The replaceable oracle mechanism solves the most challenging part of building a decentralized prediction market, allowing for fair and accurate result-setting to be done in a trustless and decentralized manner. It also has the benefit of increasing participation and significantly lowering fees compared to traditional prediction market systems.\nIn contrast to centralized oracles, the βreplaceable oracleβ mechanism facilitates reliable outcomes regardless of who the initial oracle is; users do not rely on a centralized authority to set results. The Bodhi platform incentivizes BOT holders to participate in the voting process, and to rectify false outcomes, which rewards participants and simultaneously penalizes the false oracle.\nAlthough Bodhiβs smart contracts are available publicly on the Qtum blockchain, the initial user interface has built-in restrictions preventing users from certain countries from accessing the platform until further clarity on local regulations is provided from the respective governments.\nFor more information on Bodhi, please visit:\nwww.bodhi.network\nAbout Bodhi\nFounded in May 2017, Bodhi is a decentralized prediction market platform. Built on the Qtum blockchain, Bodhi allows users to create and trade on the outcome of finance, sports, politics, and any other global events. Bodhiβs mission is to build a credible, autonomous, and scalable platform that promotes the application of prediction markets at a global scale to enhance the decision-making process. It is powered by the Bodhi digital token (BOT).\nView source version on businesswire.com:https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180423005472/en/\nCONTACT: Bodhi\nSamuel Suh\nsam@bodhi.network\nKEYWORD: UNITED KINGDOM UNITED STATES EUROPE NORTH AMERICA CALIFORNIA IRELAND\nINDUSTRY KEYWORD: ENTERTAINMENT CASINO/GAMING TECHNOLOGY SOFTWARE MOBILE/WIRELESS PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FINANCE\nSOURCE: Bodhi\nCopyright Business Wire 2018.\nPUB: 04/23/2018 12:30 PM/DISC: 04/23/2018 12:30 PM\nhttp://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180423005472/en"

"LOS ANGELES (AP) β The unprecedented sudden cancellation of one of television's top comedies has left a wave of unemployment and uncertainty in its wake.\nRoseanne Barr's racist tweet and the swift axing of her rebooted show put hundreds of people out of work, with some wondering whether they would be paid, most knowing they wouldn't be, and few with any legal recourse.\n\"A lot of people there are just middle class Americans making a living and now they're out of work, especially at a time when we're ramping up into production for the fall season,\" Rebecca Sun of the industry trade publication The Hollywood Reporter said in an interview with The Associated Press. \"It is pretty devastating for all of the people who worked on that show who are now collateral damage as a result of their star's racist beliefs.\"\nContractual details for those involved with the show, including Barr, were not immediately clear, and would play out in the coming months.\nExperts say high-profile figures in the television industry typically have contractual clauses that give them significant severance for shows that are not produced.\nLower-level workers are generally out of luck at an unfortunate time. Though \"Roseanne\" and many shows just had their season finales, jobs for next season are mostly taken.\nBen Sherwood, president of Disney-ABC Television Group, apologized in a memo Wednesday to \"the many men and women who poured their hearts and lives into the show and were just getting started on next season. We're so sorry they were swept up in all of this and we give thanks for their remarkable talents, wish them well, and hope to find another way to work together down the road.\"\nThe cancellation came on the first day of meetings for the newly assembled writers for the fall season of \"Roseanne.\" They arrived after Barr's tweet, but before ABC President Channing Dungey's announcement that the show was finished, leading to what executive producer and writer Dave Caplan said were \"a lot of bittersweet hellos β and a couple hours later, a lot of very difficult goodbyes.\"\n\"Everybody is still in shock at how quickly this all went down,\" Caplan told The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday. \"It's unfortunate because the writers did pass on other jobs to take this job and nobody really knows yet what kind of compensation they're going to get.\"\nFor cast and crew members that did have longer-term contracts, Barr's show-sinking tweet could be deemed, strange as it sounds, an \"act of God.\" A \"force majeure\" or \"act of God,\" legally, is some unpredictable event such as an earthquake or a riot that changes the underlying circumstances.\n\"It means something outside of the control of the parties. Roseanne's speech wasn't in the control of ABC,\" said F. Jay Dougherty, a professor who specializes in entertainment and media law at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. \"It wouldn't surprise me if this was treated by the studio like that kind of event, giving the studio a right to terminate contracts.\"\nBarr herself suggested on Twitter lately that she may try to take some action.\n\"You guys make me feel like fighting back,\" Barr tweeted to her followers Wednesday. \"I will examine all of my options carefully and get back to U.\"\nHer contract may have a \"morals clause,\" however, which are often included in the contracts of television stars, athletes and other prominent figures, demanding a standard of behavior as the face of an enterprise.\n\"If there is a morals clause in her contract, then breaching that would give the studio a right to terminate her contract, and possibly even sue her for damages for breach of contract,\"\n\"We can't predict whether there will be lawsuits or not,\" Dougherty said, \"but I don't think there will be successful lawsuits.\"\n___\nMike Cidoni Lennox and Nicole Evatt in Los Angeles and David Bauder in New York contributed to this report.\n___\nFollow Andrew Dalton on Twitter: https://twitter.com/andyjamesdalton ."

"Bryan Habana, the lightning-fast South Africa wing who won a World Cup on the way to breaking his country's all-time try-scoring record, says he is retiring.\nHabana, who played 124 tests for the Springboks and scored a record 67 tries, made the announcement on Tuesday on his Twitter and Instagram accounts.\nHabana wrote that he would officially retire at the end of the season but conceded he may not play again after battling for over a year with a knee injury.\nHe wrote: \"I, like most, would have liked my career to have ended differently, but sometimes things don't turn out quite the way we hope for.\"\nDespite not being able to finish the way he wanted, the 34-year-old Habana won just about everything a South African could: The World Cup, a Tri-Nations title and a series against the British and Irish Lions with the Springboks. At domestic level, he collected a Super Rugby title and two Currie Cups in South Africa and the Heineken Cup and France's Top 14 league title with his last club, Toulon.

"text": [
"BONN, Germany (AP) β Foreign ministers from most of the world's leading powers are heading to a diplomatic summit of the Group of 20 industrialized and emerging economies in Germany, with all eyes on the new U.S. Secretary of State for clues about the direction Washington will take over the next four years.\nAt the talks Thursday and Friday in the western city of Bonn, U.S. allies are seeking reassurances from Rex Tillerson that the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump won't ditch a decade of close cooperation among G-20 nations on climate change, international development and the global economy.\nRussia, China, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, meanwhile, are looking to gauge the man they'll be dealing with on some of the more sensitive areas of foreign policy in the coming years β including conflicts in Syria and Ukraine, territorial disputes in the South China Sea and nuclear disarmament.\n\"The issue for any country that's not America is to try and flesh out what Trump means by 'America first,'\" said Christopher Smart, a fellow at the Chatham House think tank and former Obama administration adviser on international economic affairs.\nA shift away from multilateral diplomacy could see U.S. allies pitted against each other in a bid for Washington's attention, opening up new battle lines. At the same time, smaller countries could be left to pick up the cost of financing international organizations β as well as the burden of behind-the-scenes negotiations β previously shouldered largely by the State Department.\nSo far, Tillerson has struck a more moderate tone than Trump, suggesting a desire for continuity rather than a radical break with the past, Smart said. How that will work in practice, and who genuinely has the new president's ear, is something diplomats will be trying to find out both in the summit's two working sessions and during a flurry of bilateral meetings at a German government guest house on a mountain overlooking the River Rhine.\n\"Russia would be a very interesting conversation to hear,\" said Smart, noting that the G-20 meeting comes days after Trump's national security adviser Michael Flynn resigned over his contacts with Moscow.\nThis week's talks are also seen as a dress rehearsal for Germany's hosting of the G-20 leaders in Hamburg on July 7-8, which Trump has said he'll attend.\nGerman Chancellor Angela Merkel is trying to downplay differences with Trump β who called her refugee policy \"a total disaster\" β by stressing Berlin's willingness to cooperate with his administration. Earlier this month, she sent her foreign minister, Sigmar Gabriel, to Washington to meet with Tillerson within hours of his Senate confirmation.\nGabriel, who is also new to the post following a recent Cabinet reshuffle, said Wednesday that talks among the G-20 β which also includes Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, South Korea and several European countries β are key to ensuring that foreign policy is \"more than crisis management.\"\n\"We would be well-advised not to constantly run from one blaze to the next with the fire extinguisher,\" he said, stressing the importance of preventing crises. Germany saw first-hand two years ago how conflicts in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan led to an unprecedented movement of refugees into Europe, with a lasting impact on the continent.\nWithout mentioning the United States by name, Gabriel said problems caused by terrorism, water shortage and humanitarian emergencies couldn't be tackled through isolation. \"Climate change can't be fought using barbed wire,\" he said.\nStill, few believe that this year's G-20 meetings will be as harmonious as Germany's stewardship of the G-7 format two years ago, which produced pictures of Merkel and Obama strolling across an Alpine meadow.\nLeft-wing groups are planning a protest Thursday near the conference venue, which for decades was home to West Germany's parliament before the capital was moved to Berlin following the country's reunification.\nBonn has since become an example of Germany's vision for multilateral diplomacy, hosting numerous international organizations and United Nations offices with a particular focus on climate change β an issue the new U.S. administration has expressed skepticism about.\n___\nFollow Frank Jordans on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/wirereporter"

2321 | I am asking in the domain of politics. Tell me about Severino overpowers Astros with 11 Ks as Yankees win 5-3 | {
"text": [
"NEW YORK (AP) β Luis Severino struck out 11 in seven overpowering innings, beating longtime Yankees nemesis Dallas Keuchel for the second time this year as New York topped the Houston Astros 5-3 on Wednesday night.\nGary Sanchez snapped an 0-for-19 slump with a two-run single and the Yankees took two of three from the reigning World Series champions this week to win the season series 5-2. Houston defeated New York in the 2017 AL Championship Series, with the home team winning all seven games.\nIf these budding rivals meet again this year, it will be in October.\nSeverino (8-1) allowed four hits, including Max Stassi's two-run homer, and walked one in winning his sixth consecutive decision. The ace right-hander, who hasn't lost since April 10 at Boston, threw a five-hitter with 10 strikeouts for his first career complete game in a 4-0 victory over Keuchel at Houston on May 2.\nDavid Robertson struck out two in a scoreless eighth and Aroldis Chapman got three outs for his 12th save in 13 chances. Stassi, subbing for injured catcher Brian McCann, hit an RBI double with two outs in the ninth before Chapman fanned George Springer to end it.\nAfter dominating the Yankees for years, Keuchel (3-7) dropped his third straight start against them β including the playoffs. The left-hander gave up four runs and seven hits in five-plus innings.\nKeuchel entered 6-4 with a 1.82 ERA and two complete games in 10 outings against New York, including three postseason starts.\nThe 2015 AL Cy Young Award winner walked two batters in the first inning, and center fielder Jake Marisnick made a diving catch on a sacrifice fly by slumping slugger Giancarlo Stanton.\nSanchez rolled a two-run single through an open right side with two outs in the fifth to put the Yankees ahead 3-2.\nGleyber Torres doubled to start the sixth and scored from third on Didi Gregorius' single through a drawn-in infield that chased Keuchel. Aaron Hicks looped an RBI double off Collin McHugh later in the inning that got past a diving Marwin Gonzalez in left field.\nSeverino retired his first 11 batters, striking out seven of his first nine, before AL MVP Jose Altuve bounced a single through a wide-open right side.\nNew York (35-17), which has won 17 of its last 21 at home, matched a season high at 18 games above .500. The Yankees are 14-4 against left-handed starters and have won 10 of their past 11 completed series.\nTRAINER'S ROOM\nAstros: Slumping SS Carlos Correa was back in the lineup after a night off, and Springer took his turn receiving a rest. Springer struck out as a pinch hitter with two on to end the seventh and stayed in the game to play center field. ... OF Derek Fisher (gastrointestinal discomfort) had a scheduled day off on his rehab assignment at Triple-A Fresno, manager AJ Hinch said. ... The team was awaiting an update on McCann (sore right knee) after he was examined by doctors in Houston.\nYankees: RHP Adam Warren, on the DL since April 21 with a back strain, threw 41 pitches over three scoreless innings in a rehab start for Double-A Trenton. He allowed one hit and struck out three. ... 1B Greg Bird was rested, leaving Gregorius as the only left-handed batter in the starting lineup against Keuchel.\nUP NEXT\nAstros: Return home to face another 2017 playoff opponent in Boston. RHP Lance McCullers Jr. (6-3, 3.98 ERA) starts the opener of a four-game series Thursday night against LHP Drew Pomeranz (1-2, 6.75 ERA).\nYankees: An 11-game road trip that takes them to four cities, although they finish up in New York against the crosstown rival Mets at Citi Field. RHP Sonny Gray (3-4, 5.98 ERA) tries to rebound from his latest disappointing start Thursday night in Baltimore. RHP Andrew Cashner (2-6, 5.07 ERA) goes for the last-place Orioles.\n___\nMore AP baseball: https://apnews.com/tag/MLBbaseball"

2324 | I am asking in the domain of politics. Tell me about In NH and Iowa, Trump eyes 2020 re-election as midterms loom | {
"text": [
"MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) β President Donald Trump's first visit to New Hampshire as president was soaked in nostalgia for his first campaign β and punctuated with subtle nods to his next one in 2020.\nSome Republicans wish he would keep his focus on the election around the corner.\nAs the GOP faces tremendous challenges in November's midterm elections, Trump and his allies trained their focus this week on the 2020 presidential primary's premier states. The president has also added new staff to his re-election campaign and struggled at times to share the spotlight with congressional candidates who need his help.\nTrump's attention to his own political future irked some party loyalists who are furiously preparing for midterm elections this fall, which will decide the House and Senate majorities.\n\"There is a sense that he should make the congressional campaign committees a bigger priority than his own campaign committee,\" said Republican strategist Alex Conant.\nThe early-state focus featured Trump talking opioids Monday in New Hampshire, first daughter Ivanka Trump on the same day promising action on education and infrastructure in Iowa, and Vice President Mike Pence raising money for New Hampshire Republicans on Thursday.\nThe president took the stage in New Hampshire's largest city to unveil his plan to battle the nation's opioid crisis. But first, the Republican president mused about early campaign stops in the state that fueled his rise to the presidency a few years earlier.\n\"It's great to be back here in the great state of New Hampshire,\" said Trump, who recalled the hall at Manchester Community College as the site of one of his first events in the state. \"This is the room, right here, so I like this room. This has been a good room.\"\nOn its face, the event was focused far more on policy than politics. Yet White House officials acknowledged that any visit to New Hampshire was, by nature, politically strategic. They felt it was time for Trump to revisit a battleground state that would carry great import in the 2020 general election and to guard against any possible Republican primary challenger.\nOne White House official said that Trump's travel schedule is determined in large part by a desire to repay those who supported him politically in the past. The official was not authorized to publicly discuss the White House's private political motivations and requested anonymity.\nTrump hosted his first campaign rally a month after taking office. His re-election campaign aired its first television ad three months later. He held his first 2020 fundraiser the month after that. And earlier this month, he named a re-election campaign manager.\n\"A lot of people wish the midterms were his singular focus and he wouldn't worry about his re-election right now,\" Conant said.\nTrump hasn't ignored the party's midterm efforts, however.\nThe president helped generate record fundraising totals for the Republican National Committee. He hosted a fundraiser for Missouri's Republican Senate candidate last week and he's set to host another for the House GOP campaign committee this week.\nTrump also campaigned for Pennsylvania Republican Rick Saconne ahead of last week's special congressional election, although the president said little about the GOP candidate during the appearance.\nThe early state focus comes as Trump eyes an uncertain political future.\nUp against the prospect of a GOP electoral disaster this fall β and a special counsel's investigation β Democrats and even some Republicans are already preparing to challenge him in 2020. Just three days before Trump's visit, Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona earned a standing ovation after telling New Hampshire voters that he might launch a primary challenge against the president.\n\"A brush fire for the White House could turn into a full-on wild fire if they're not careful,\" said Matt Moore, who previously led the state GOP in South Carolina, which traditionally hosts the third presidential primary contest after Iowa and New Hampshire.\n\"Particularly in the early primary states, activists can easily feel jilted if they don't feel the love from the White House. This White House is smart to begin its outreach early,\" Moore said.\nA sitting president hasn't lost a primary election in modern history. But even if Trump sails through the 2020 primary, he is expected to face stiff competition from the Democratic nominee later that year in both New Hampshire and Iowa, which are considered general election battlegrounds.\nTrump came in second place in Iowa's presidential caucus in 2016. His first primary contest victory didn't come until a week later in New Hampshire. While he lost narrowly the Granite State in the general election, Trump's inner circle has always reminisced fondly about New Hampshire, believing that it wasn't until he won there that they felt like he had a shot at capturing the presidential nomination.\nFrom the stage in Manchester, Trump made no mention of his re-election bid, save a passing reference to serving \"seven more years\" in office. Yet politics permeated the event. More than 100 protesters stood outside in sub-freezing temperatures to jeer the president's motorcade.\nRepublican strategist Rick Tyler called Trump's early state focus \"premature and unconventional.\"\n\"But that doesn't matter to him,\" Tyler said. \"The bigger question the Republican Party has to answer is how do they make Trump an asset in 2018? The answer is I don't know.\"\n___\nPeoples reported from New York. Associated Press writer Zeke Miller in Washington contributed to this report."

"FARGO, N.D.

Gabby Giffords say the recent attack on lawmakers at a congressional baseball practice in Virginia shows how vitriolic political discourse has become.\nRon Barber, who took over Giffords' seat in Congress, called for an end to the harsh rhetoric and personal attacks in politics. Other victims said the recent shooting reignited strong feelings about the need for gun control.\nGiffords was holding a constituent event outside a grocery store in 2011 when gunman Jared Loughner opened fire, killing six people, including a federal judge and a 9-year-old girl, and shooting Giffords in the head, severely wounding her.\nWednesday's shooting happened in a similarly public place β a popular park and baseball complex in Alexandria, Virginia."

"TAIPEI (Taiwan News) β In order to shore up official diplomatic relations, President Tsai Ing-wen (θ‘θ±ζ) might visit two African allies and four Caribbean allies this year, the Apple Daily reported Saturday.\nThe Ministry of Foreign Affairs commented on the report that there was no such news at present.\nOnly 20 nations around the world maintain official relations with Taiwan, and recent rumors about an imminent agreement between the Vatican and China have led to fears that Taipeiβs only European ally might switch sides.\nAs 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of official relations between Taiwan and Swaziland, Tsai is likely to visit the small land-locked monarchy in Southern Africa during the first half of the year to express her gratitude for its persistent support at international organizations, the Apple Daily wrote.\nThe son of King Mswati III is scheduled to graduate from Shih Chien University (ε―¦θΈε€§εΈ) in Taipei this year, so if the president is unable to leave the country, she might invite the king over to visit Taiwan and attend his sonβs graduation ceremony instead.\nAny overseas trip was likely to include Taiwanβs other African friend, Burkina Faso in central West Africa. As Tsai had not yet visited the continent since being sworn in in May 2016, an African journey was highly likely this year, the newspaper reported.\nIn another part of the world where Taiwan still has allies, concern was mounting that Haiti might abandon ship, but help from the United States put that situation right, according to the Apple Daily.\nTsai was considering visiting Haiti, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Lucia and Saint Christopher and Nevis."

Others shared the sentiment.\nAnother chimed in: \"Getting some serious Beyonce Formation vibes from Melania's hat this morning.\" Bey wore a version in black in the video for that hit.\nOthers on social media stuck to matters of etiquette, like the Twitter account of I'm Every Woman: \"Melania's hat might be OK for the races, a runway or even Church, not to wear when greeting visitors when you want to express a warm welcome. You want people to see your eyes and face and not impose an obstacle to the two cheek kiss, a French greeting.\"\nOne thing was certain. Mrs. Trump was seriously committed to her hat."

"DENVER (AP) β Brandon Crawford kept up his May hitting surge by lining a pair of singles, Gorkys Hernandez had a diving catch in center field to thwart a rally, and the San Francisco Giants avoided being swept with a 7-4 win over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night.\nCrawford was 2 for 5 with an RBI. He's hitting .412 this month, raising his season average from .189 to .307.\nDerek Holland (3-6) settled down after giving up a three-run homer to Nolan Arenado in the first. The left-hander allowed four runs in five innings to help the Giants snap a three-game skid.\nThe Giants' bullpen allowed three hits the rest of the way, with Hunter Strickland getting Arenado to pop up to end the game and earn his 11th save.\nBetween four strikeouts, Evan Longoria delivered a run-scoring triple in the fifth off reliever Harrison Musgrave (0-1) that staked the Giants to a 5-4 lead. Over the three-game series, Longoria also had two homers and two doubles.\nHernandez hauled in the catch of the night in the fifth with two on and two out. He dove to snare a sinking liner by Carlos Gonzalez, who tossed his batting helmet in frustration.\nJon Gray turned in his shortest outing of the season at 3 1/3 innings. He walked two straight batters with the bases loaded in the fourth to allow the Giants tie the score at 4. Musgrave entered and the Rockies got out of the tight spot when Andrew McCutchen's liner was dropped by Trevor Story, who then began a double play.\nPablo Sandoval started at second base a day after Kelby Tomlinson committed three errors. Sandoval had an RBI single in the second.\nTomlinson entered the game in the fifth.\nTRAINER'S ROOM\nGiants: RHP Jeff Samardzija was placed on the 10-day disabled list with shoulder tightness. ... INF Joe Panik (left thumb) could return to the Giants on Friday. ... RHP Mark Melancon (elbow) will be evaluated Thursday.\nRockies: 2B DJ LeMahieu (left thumb) took multiple at-bats in Arizona on Wednesday. \"He's doing really well. He's close,\" manager Bud Black said. Possibly activated Friday? \"You can speculate. I'm not going to tell you. But you can speculate it a lot,\" Black said.\nFIRST PITCH\nBefore the game, 8-year-old Hailey Dawson of Las Vegas delivered a ceremonial underhand pitch to Chad Bettis while wearing a Rockies-themed prosthetic hand. She has Poland syndrome, which stunted the growth of the fingers on her right hand.\nIt was her ninth stadium visit in her quest to throw in every major league park. Her next stop is Seattle.\nShe's also delivered pitches at Baltimore, Washington, San Diego, San Francisco, Chicago Cubs, Texas, Cleveland, and during Game 4 of the 2017 World Series in Houston. Several Rockies players signed her prosthetic hand, including Ian Desmond, Arenado and Gonzalez.\nUP NEXT\nGiants: The Giants head home for six games after going 2-6 on their trip. RHP Chris Stratton (6-3, 4.97 ERA) starts Friday in a three-game set against Philadelphia.\nRockies: After a day off, LHP Tyler Anderson (4-1, 4.72 ERA) takes the ball Friday to open a three-game series against the Dodgers and LHP Alex Wood (1-4, 3.75).\n___\nMore AP baseball: https://apnews.com/tag/MLBbaseball"

2350 | I am asking in the domain of politics. Tell me about Bill prompted by dismissal of Hernandez verdict after death | {
"text": [
"BOSTON (AP) β The prison death of former NFL star Aaron Hernandez is prompting lawmakers to revisit a centuries-old Massachusetts legal principle.\nUnder a bill heard Tuesday by the Legislature's Judiciary Committee, a person who takes their own life after being convicted of a crime would automatically lose all rights to appeal.\nHernandez's murder conviction in the 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd was dismissed after Hernandez was found hanging in his cell last April. The legal principle holds that a defendant who dies before an appeal is heard should no longer be considered guilty in the eyes of the law.\nDemocratic Rep. Evandro Carvalho, of Boston, filed the legislation after meeting with Lloyd's mother, Ursula Ward, who was upset when the conviction was erased.\nThe bill, if passed, could not be applied retroactively to Hernandez."

"ROME (AP) β Italian media say an Italian man who drove his car last week into pedestrians near a Christmas market had been aiming to kill.\nThe ANSA news agency reported Monday that the man is being investigated on suspicion of wanting to carry out a massacre. His car on Saturday seriously injured a woman at an outdoor skating ring near the Sondrio, northern Italy, holiday market before crashing into a pillar.\nOriginally, the crash, which slightly injured two other strollers in the pedestrian-only square, was blamed on drunk driving.\nSondrio's chief prosecutor wasn't immediately available for comment. The reported accusation indicated there was no sign of terrorist aims.\nANSA said the suspect, 27, when he was arrested at the scene, said that he \"should have killed more\" people."
