| Felicity Huffman to plead guilty in college admissions cheating case Posted: 08 Apr 2019 01:57 PM PDT  The actor and 12 other parents will plead guilty after being accused of paying to rig children's test scores and bribe coachesFelicity Huffman leaves federal court in Boston, Massachusetts, on 3 April 2019. Photograph: Brian Snyder/ReutersFelicity Huffman has agreed to plead guilty in the college admissions cheating scandal, the biggest celebrity name so far to admit to her involvement in the scheme. Court documents made public on Monday show that 12 other prominent parents, in addition to Huffman, will also plead guilty in the case.The actor, 56, was accused of paying a consultant $15,000 to have a proctor boost her older daughter's SAT score in order to ease her way into college. Authorities say the actor also discussed going through with the same plan for her younger daughter, but she ultimately decided not to. Other parents charged in the scheme include prominent figures in law, finance, fashion, the food and beverage industry and other fields. It's the biggest college admissions case ever prosecuted by the Department of Justice.The scandal embroiled elite universities across the country and laid bare the lengths to which status-seeking parents will go to secure their children a coveted spot. The consultant, Rick Singer, met with Huffman and her husband, 69-year-old actor William H Macy, at their Los Angeles home and explained to them he "controlled" a testing center and could have somebody secretly change their daughter's answers, authorities said. Singer told investigators Huffman and her husband agreed to the plan. Macy was not charged although the authorities have not said why. Huffman will plead guilty to a charge of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest-services mail fraud, according to court documents made public on Monday.In her first public comments since her arrest last month, she apologized and said she accepts full responsibility for her actions and "will accept the consequences". Huffman said in a statement that her daughter did not know about her actions. She said her desire to help her daughter was "no excuse to break the law".Huffman and TV actor Lori Loughlin had appeared in federal court in Boston last Wednesday afternoon, to face charges that they participated in a wide-ranging college admissions cheating scam that has rocked the US.The actors, along with Loughlin's fashion designer husband Mossimo Giannulli and dozens of others, were charged last month in a scheme in which authorities say parents paid an admissions consultant to bribe college coaches and rig test scores to get their children into elite universities.Huffman was among 50 people charged in what authorities have described as the biggest college admissions scam ever prosecuted by the justice department.Loughlin and Giannulli are not among those who've agreed to plead guilty and haven't publicly addressed the allegations.Earlier on Monday, Stanford University in California announced it had expelled a student who lied about her sailing credentials in her application, which was linked to the college admission bribery scandal.The university wrote that it had rescinded the student's admission in a short statement posted on its website on 2 April after determining "some of the material in the student's application is false".The statement added: "The student is no longer on campus."University officials previously said the student was admitted without the recommendation of former Stanford sailing coach John Vandemoer, who pleaded guilty to taking bribes in exchange for helping students get into the elite university. They said a $500,000 contribution to the sailing program was made several months after the student was admitted.The Stanford Daily first reported on Sunday that the student had been expelled.

| Nancy Pelosi once again mocks Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for using Twitter for back-up support Posted: 09 Apr 2019 10:29 AM PDT  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a subtle jab towards Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over her alleged dependency on Twitter for public support, insinuating that the freshman lawmaker is neglecting to do work required pass the Democratic agenda into laws.Ms Ocasio-Cortez has almost 4 million followers on Twitter and has often used Twitter as a tool to rally public support for her progressive proposals including the Green New Deal.Ms Pelosi, 79, told USA Today on Monday that she is running into issues of leading a House caucus while freshman Democratic lawmakers are pushing the party further to the left. She accuses them of prioritising symbolic gestures over actual legislative achievements. "While there are people who have a large number of Twitter followers, what's important is that we have large numbers of votes on the floor of the House," the California Democrat said.She did not mention Ms Ocasio-Cortez by name in the interview.Ms Pelosi added that she believes progressives are "fine" after she told them they needed to look into introducing moderate legislation that have a higher chance of passing the House."As I say to my own district, 'You go out and elect 218 people, just like San Francisco, then we can talk,'" Ms Pelosi added.This isn't the first time the House Speaker derided Ms Ocasio-Cortez. In February, Ms Pelosi scoffed at the Green New Deal, a climate change proposal introduced by the New York Democrat, in an interview with Politico."It will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive," Ms Pelosi said. "The green dream, or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they're for it, right?"

The New York City crackdown highlights the inconsistencies that have emerged in federal, state and local rules governing CBD, bewildering the small but growing number of businesses selling edibles in New York and other states.

| Trump told border agents to break the law but bosses told them to ignore him, report claims Posted: 09 Apr 2019 01:45 AM PDT  Donald Trump reportedly encouraged agents working at the US-Mexico border to deny asylum seekers entry, an action which would have violated US law.The president first discussed the idea during an Oval Office meeting on 21 March with senior administration officials.Those present included Kirstjen Nielsen, who was then secretary for Homeland Security and Pat Cipollone, the White House counsel, according to CNN.Mercedes Schlapp and Dan Scavino, the president's advisers, were also present, as was Jared Kushner, Mr Trump's son-in-law.Ms Nielsen told the president that barring asylum seekers from the US was against the law.The official discussed the issue with Mr Cipollone, who confirmed that she was correct.Under the Immigration and Naturalization Act, people arriving at the border "may apply for asylum", a right which is reinforced under international law as the US is a signatory to the UN's 1951 Refugee Convention.Mr Trump visited border agents in Calexico, a city in California on 5 April."We're full, our system's full, our country's full -- can't come in!" he said during the visit."Our country is full, what can you do?" We can't handle any more, our country is full. Can't come in, I'm sorry. It's very simple."CNN reported two sources said the president privately told border agents to deny asylum seekers entry to the US.They said he encouraged them to tell judges who objected to the idea that the US had no room for migrants, but that after Mr Trump departed, the border agents looked to their superiors for guidance.Officials told the agents to follow the law, adding that they were not being told to deny migrants entry and that if they did so, they would bear personal legal liability.Following the Oval Office meeting in March the president also ordered Ms Nielsen to close the border in the Texan city of El Paso.The official criticised the idea, which was eventually abandoned.It comes days after the president said "frankly, we should get rid of judges", during an extended attack on the country's asylum system.On Sunday the president announced Ms Nielsen would be leaving her post.During her tenure the 46-year-old became the face of some of the president's most controversial immigration policies, including that of separating children from their parents at the border.In May 2018, it was reported that she drafted a resignation letter after Mr Trump berated her in front of other Cabinet secretaries over the situation at the border.Kevin McAleenan, the current US Customs and Border Protection Commissioner, has been appointed Acting Secretary of Homeland Security following Ms Nielsen's departure.

| Imran Khan accuses India and Israel of moral bankruptcy over election annexation pledges Posted: 09 Apr 2019 05:46 AM PDT  Imran Khan has accused India's leaders of moral bankruptcy for trying to win votes by annexing Kashmir, after Narendra Modi pledged to remove its special autonomous status if re-elected. In outspoken remarks just days before voting begins in India's upcoming election, Mr Khan said Mr Modi was flouting a United Nations resolution and his own constitution with his manifesto pledge. Pakistan's prime minister also attacked Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, after he promised to annex Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank if he is re-elected on Tuesday. "Don't their people feel a sense of outrage and wonder at how far they will go simply to win an election?" Mr Khan asked. Mr Modi earlier this week told a crowd at Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party headquarters he would scrap the autonomous status Jammu and Kashmir has had since 1954. He would also remove laws that prevent outsiders from buying property in the state. When ldrs in Israel & India show a moral bankruptcy in their readiness to annex occupied West Bank & IOK in defiance of int law, UNSC resolutions & their own Constitution for votes, don't their ppl feel a sense of outrage & wonder how far they will go simply to win an election?— Imran Khan (@ImranKhanPTI) April 9, 2019 Scrapping the protections would help integration with the rest of the country, the BJP has argued. However political leaders in Muslim-majority Kashmir, where Indian forces are fighting a fierce armed insurgency, have predicted the repeal would stoke further unrest. Kashmir and tensions with Pakistan have become a key election battleground in the election after a suicide bombing killed at least 40 Indian paramilitary police in the region in February. Both countries claim the disputed territory Kashmir, and it has been at the the heart of military tensions between the neighbours for decades. Mr Modi's manifesto pledge on Kashmir risks a backlash in the region Credit: Reuters Mr Modi's decision to launch a retaliatory air strike inside Pakistan after the bombing was claimed by the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad militant group led him to pose as a strong national security candidate. The clash is thought to have helped Mr Modi's electoral chances by distracting from his failed economic promises. But Mr Khan has accused the BJP of "whipping up war hysteria" to win the election. Pakistan's government has accused India of plotting further military action to win votes, claiming it has "reliable intelligence" that India will attack again this month. Voting in India's general election begins on Thursday but, with around 900 million people eligible to vote, the polls will be held around the country over coming weeks, and the votes will be counted on May 23.

| Man beat five-year-old daughter to death for not doing homework, police say Posted: 09 Apr 2019 04:48 AM PDT  Brandon Reynolds said he had a ritual that would calm him. His daughter's heart formed with a hole while she was in the womb, and from time to time, he would put his ear to her chest to hear and feel the miracle of its beat.He found it "soothing," Reynolds told police after emergency responders fought to save his five-year old daughter at his Albuquerque, New Mexico, home early Friday. Fire and rescue arrived to find her in possible cardiac arrest and no pulse.But signs of physical trauma prompted paramedics to call the police, authorities said in a news conference. The girl regained a pulse and was transferred to the University of New Mexico hospital, where she died, according to a criminal complaint obtained by The Washington Post.Reynolds was charged Friday with intentional child abuse resulting in the death of a child, authorities said, and his story began to unfurl in a taped interview at the police station.His daughter was home-schooled, he told investigators, and she did her homework on the computer. She told him she didn't want to do any homework that night, according to the complaint.That response "triggered" him, Reynolds said."That's when the discipline came in," he told investigators. He beat her with a shoe before he began "blacking out" until he realised she was lethargic and cradled her on the living room floor, the complaint said.Investigators interviewed a neighbour who reported a commotion, including Reynolds shouting, "Get up!"Officers described a violent and surreal scene inside the home. There was blood on a wall and the carpet, and Reynolds called his daughter's mother on FaceTime to tell her about the incident as officers were still there.Reynolds said he was alarmed when the girl's breathing became shallow and his ritual nearly went silent - he could barely feel her heartbeat. He then called first responders.Police observed him to be "emotionless," the complaint said.It is unclear if Reynolds is represented by an attorney.A neighbour told KOAT that she used to babysit the child. They painted each other's nails. "She was a little angel," the neighbour said. "She didn't deserve this."Detectives from the child abuse unit have helped in the investigation, Albuquerque Police Chief Michael Geier said."This is definitely a heartbreaking tragedy, and our officers and detectives are working diligently at this time to get justice for this little girl," Mr Geier said.Washington Post

| Meet the F-21 Fighter (Think an F-16 on Steroids Thanks to F-22 and F-35 DNA) Posted: 08 Apr 2019 12:52 AM PDT  For the purposes of Lockheed's marketing campaign, the F-21 is a new fighter, although it shares many of its major features with the F-16V the company has sold to Bahrain, Greece, Slovakia, South Korea and Taiwan. Lockheed can build new F-16Vs or upgrade older F-16s to the V-standard.Lockheed Martin in mid-February 2019 offered to sell India a new fighter the company calls the "F-21."(This first appeared several months ago.)Only it doesn't look like a new fighter at all. The F-21 looks like an F-16.In fact, the F-21 is an F-16 that Lockheed has upgraded with new cockpit displays, conformal fuel tanks, a larger airframe spine that can accommodate additional electronics, fittings for towed radar decoys, a new infrared sensor and a refueling probe that's compatible with India's Russian-made aerial tankers."The F-21 addresses the Indian air force's unique requirements," Lockheed stated.The rebranding raises an important question. At what point do upgrades transform an old fighter into a new fighter?It isn't a purely academic question. The number of different fighter types that a country simultaneously can produce is a useful marker of that country's war-making capacity.

Barr, an appointee of Trump who last month announced what he said were the main findings of the report, said he would be as open as possible about redactions of sensitive information when he hands over the full document. "Within a week I will be in position to release that report to the public and then I will engage with the chairmen of both judiciary committees about that report, about any further requests that they have," Barr said at his first appearance before Congress since receiving the report on March 22.

| U.S. judge halts Trump policy of returning asylum seekers to Mexico Posted: 08 Apr 2019 04:30 PM PDT  The ruling is slated to take effect on Friday, according to the order by U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg in San Francisco. The Trump administration said last week it planned to expand the program of sending some migrants to wait out their U.S. court dates in Mexican border cities, under a policy known as Migrant Protection Protocols, or MPP. The government argued MPP was needed because so many asylum seekers spend years living in the United States and never appear for their court hearings before their claim is denied and an immigration judge orders them to be deported.

The plan covers 2019 and takes the place of a previously proposed 2018 bonus program for some 14,000 employees that PG&E scuttled after criticism from wildfire victims and their lawyers. The U.S. Trustee, the government's bankruptcy watchdog, had also objected to the new plan, saying it did not make clear insiders are excluded and expressing concern about its cost.

| Women accusing Joe Biden of inappropriate contact ‘support other candidates,’ Democratic senator says Posted: 08 Apr 2019 03:55 PM PDT  Joe Biden has become arguably the most popular — and controversial — 2020 Democratic candidate who has yet to officially launch their campaign for the White House. The former vice president has garnered national headlines after numerous women described feeling uncomfortable with his physical greetings and other exchanges from over the years, including former Nevada Democratic lawmaker Lucy Flores, who recently wrote about her "awkward" experience with Mr Biden in The Cut. But not everyone is apparently buying the accusations of inappropriate contact levelled against him. Christopher Coons, a Delaware Democrat, said during an interview on Monday: "There are folks who, I think, are coming forward and standing up about this because they support other candidates."Speaking to CNN, the senator also added: "There are folks who, I think, are coming forward out of a genuine sense of feeling disrespected or unappreciated." "At the end of the day, the best way to measure this is to see how former Vice President Biden does on the campaign trail," he continued. Mr Coons has previously spoken out in defence of the former vice president, who has been mulling a 2020 bid in recent months. He has said photos of Mr Biden had been taken out of context to claim wrongdoing in some cases, when the former vice president was actually being kind or thoughtful towards constituents. "In my many years on the campaign trail and in public life, I have offered countless handshakes, hugs, expressions of affection, support and comfort.

But it was never my intention."
