Doctors say new Medicaid rules 'like asking people to work with an anchor on their back' Posted: 13 Jan 2018 09:09 AM PST As many as 6.3 million people could lose Medicaid benefits as a result of the new change. Dr Gary Leroy's patients are "salt of the earth": inner-city people working in Dayton, Ohio as dishwashers, car mechanics and patient care assistants. Although the vast majority have jobs, most qualify for Medicaid, a public health insurance program which serves 74 million poor and disabled Americans. |
Leader of Britain's UKIP faces calls to quit over girlfriend's remarks Posted: 14 Jan 2018 05:50 AM PST The leader of Britain's eurosceptic UK Independence Party faced calls on Sunday to stand down after a newspaper published racist messages sent by his girlfriend about Prince Harry's fiancee Meghan Markle. Last year, Henry Bolton was the fourth leader in a year to be appointed to the helm of UKIP, a party which helped bring about a Brexit vote. The Mail on Sunday published a series of messages sent by Jo Marney to a friend in which she made offensive comments about Markle and black people. |

Tunisia considers aid for poor as president hosts emergency talks on anti-austerity protests Posted: 13 Jan 2018 07:38 AM PST The Tunisian government may increase aid for poor families in a bid to defuse tensions following anti-austerity protests that saw hundreds arrested and left at least one man dead. Beji Caid Essebsi, Tunisia''s president, hosted emergency talks with trade unions, employers associations, and political parties on Saturday. "We discussed the general situation in the country and the reforms, especially socio-economic, that must be adopted to overcome the current problems," Wided Bouchamaoui, the head of the UTICA employers association, told reporters after the meeting.

A Tunisian government source told Reuters that a package of measures would include extra aid to poor families and people in need, but did not give further detail. Peaceful protests broke out across Tunisia after the government adopted a new budget that raised taxes and pushed up the cost of living on January 1. Demonstrations escalated on Monday night as youths burned tires to block streets and clashed with security forces. The unrest largely tailed off after the military was deployed on the streets of several cities on Thursday, but tensions remain high. Police fired tear gas to disperse demonstrators at a small protest in the central city of Sidi Bouzid overnight on Friday. Khlifa Chibani, a spokesman for the Interior ministry, said on Saturday a total of 803 people suspected of taking part in acts of violence, theft and looting have been arrested since last Sunday. Police intervene during a protest in Tunis on January 12, 2018 Credit: Anadolu He said 97 policemen and members of the security forces had been injured over the week. It is unclear how many protesters have been injured. A man in his 40s died in disputed circumstances during unrest in the northern town of Tebourba on on Monday night. The unrest comes ahead of Sunday's seventh anniversary of the revolution that toppled the dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in 2011, an event that sparked similar uprisings in Egypt, Libya, and Syria. While the other revolutions have descended into violence or given way to authoritarianism, Tunisia is widely seen as a success story of the Arab Spring. Its democracy remains for the most part intact and a secular party currently leads the government in coalition with a moderate Islamist group. But frustration has grown among many Tunisians over economic stagnation and unemployment. Tunisia agreed to take decisive economic measures to bring down the country's deficit. in return for a $2.9 billion loan (£2.2 billion) from the International Monetary Fund. |

Iran oil tanker explodes off coast of China with no survivors Posted: 14 Jan 2018 10:22 AM PST A burning Iranian oil tanker exploded and sank Sunday after more than a week listing off the coast of China, as an Iranian official acknowledged there was "no hope" of missing sailors surviving the disaster. The collision and disaster of the Sanchi, which carried 30 Iranians and two Bangladeshis, had transfixed an Iran still reeling from days of protests and unrest that swept the country at the start of the year. Families of the sailors wept and screamed at the headquarters of the National Iranian Tanker Co. in Tehran, the private company that owns the Sanchi. |

Fear and doubt should not determine response to immigrants, Pope says Posted: 14 Jan 2018 04:53 AM PST Mutual fears between immigrants and their new communities are understandable, but must not prevent new arrivals from being welcomed and integrated, Pope Francis said on Sunday in a special Mass to mark the World Day of Migrants and Refugees. Francis, a keen defender of the rights of migrants, was addressing a congregation including migrants and refugees from some 50 countries, whose flags festooned the area around the altar in St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican. "Local communities are sometimes afraid that the newly arrived will disturb the established order, will "steal" something they have long laboured to build up," he said, while "the newly arrived ... are afraid of confrontation, judgement, discrimination, failure." "Having doubts and fears is not a sin. |

Trump responds to 's***hole' controversy with Twitter attack on Democrats Posted: 13 Jan 2018 06:44 AM PST Donald Trump has attacked Democrats and accused them of not wanting to agree a deal on immigration reform, as controversy continued to swirl over his alleged description of Haiti and African nations as "s***hole countries". As the African Union – representing 55 nations – and many high-profile Haitian-Americans demanded an apology, the President claimed Democrats did not want to work with him to secure a deal. "I don't believe the Democrats really want to see a deal on DACA," he said on Twitter, referring to the programme established by Barack Obama to provide thousands of thousands immigrants protection from deportation. |

Posted: 13 Jan 2018 09:55 AM PST A new chapter in #MeToo appears to be emerging in China after a university professor was sacked and another is facing an investigation over sexual misconduct allegations. The #MeToo campaign spread rapidly in the West in October after multiple accusations against Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. Allegations have been made against men in China – particularly within academia - but the movement has struggled to gain momentum in a country where the media and Internet are controlled by a stability-obsessed, male dominated Communist Party. However, on Thursday a Beijing university said it had sacked one of its top scholars after he was accused of sexual misconduct by a group of women. Beihang University said on its official microblog that an investigation found that Chen Xiaowu's behavior had violated professional ethics and created an "odious influence on society." The university said: "Morality and ability, and actions and talent are as one. This is the demand of Beihang's values and the school has zero tolerance for violations of professorial ethics," A placard with the hashtag "MeToo" is seen on a European Parliament member's desk during a debate Credit: Reuters Beihang also pledged to upgrade mechanisms to identify such cases. The initial allegation against Chen came from one of his former doctoral students, Luo Qianqian, who posted on Sina Weibo, China's Twitter, that the professor had tried to pressure her into sex 12 years ago. Ms Luo, who lives in the US, tagged the post #WoYeShi, the Chinese translation of #MeToo, and said in her online comments that the campaign had inspired her to act. Several other alleged victims came forward with accounts of Chen's behaviour. Ms Luo wrote on her Weibo after Chen's dismissal: "Women who have awoken to themselves are even more powerful! "Kindness and bravery are our most beautiful expressions." Chen's case was covered widely in Chinese media, possibly because the allegations originated overseas. And then on Friday, another Beijing professor was at the centre of sexual misconduct claims. Xue Yuan, a professor from the University of International Business and Economics, was accused of sexual harassment in an online posting by an anonymous college student. The student also sent emails to China's graft body, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Commerce, the China Daily said. A vendor sells #MeToo badges a protest march for survivors of sexual assault and their supporters in Hollywood, Los Angeles Credit: Reuters The university said that it had immediately formed an "investigative team". It said: "The working team has exchanged emails with the Internet user (who made the allegations), inviting her to supply authentic, correct and original evidence under the condition of protecting her privacy and personal safety." Meanwhile, Xue Yuan, who is carrying out a short term academic project overseas was called back for further investigation. The two cases are being widely discussed on Chinese social media, raising hopes among many that more women might speak out. However, Leta Hong Fincher, an expert on feminism in China, said the authorities will act before the movement becomes too powerful. "So far, students at around 60 universities in China have joined in the #MeToo campaign, many of them using their real names," said Hong Fincher, author of Betraying Big Brother: The Feminist Awakening in China. "Women are posting the letters on social media, but censors delete them very quickly. There's no question that the Communist Party is frightened by the prospect of a viral #MeToo movement galvanising Chinese university students." The men have not yet responded to the allegations.

South Africa to target investment, graft under new ANC leader Posted: 13 Jan 2018 08:57 AM PST By Ed Stoddard EAST LONDON, South Africa (Reuters) - South Africa wants to attract foreign investors to help it kick-start economic growth and will crack down on corruption, the new leader of the ruling African National Congress said on Saturday. Cyril Ramaphosa, who narrowly won the race to succeed President Jacob Zuma as ANC leader last month, also used a speech to mark 106 years since the founding of Africa's oldest liberation movement to call for party unity after a bitter leadership contest. South Africa's economy has slowed to a near-standstill over Zuma's two presidential terms, as allegations of influence-peddling in government and mismanagement of state-owned enterprises have dented consumer and business confidence. |
