Ukrainian Leader's Warnings About Rival Fall Flat Before RunoffHaving garnered only half the number of votes of TV comedian Volodymyr Zelenskiy in the ballot's first round last month, Poroshenko has recently stepped up attacks on his opponent over the economy, ties to the Kremlin and his relationship with an exiled billionaire who once owned the country's biggest bank. The survey suggests Poroshenko's latest remarks -- from an increasing barrage of interviews, talk-show appearances and televised meetings with businessmen and voters -- have been largely ignored. "The future of Ukraine is in danger," Poroshenko said Sunday.

Macron vows to rebuild a 'more beautiful' Notre-Dame in 5 yearsPresident Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday vowed to rebuild Notre-Dame cathedral "even more beautifully" within five years, as France reeled with shock from the fire that gutted the great Paris landmark. Macron announced the fast timescale -- for a process some experts said would take decades -- in an address to the nation where he hailed how the disaster had shown the capacity of France to mobilise and unite. Macron's defiant comments indicated he wants the reconstruction of the cathedral to be completed by the time Paris hosts the Olympic Games in 2024.

Man accused of throwing boy at Minnesota mall first sought to kill an adult: prosecutorsEmmanuel Aranda, who police said has a history of mental issues and arrests on relatively minor charges, went to the mall last Thursday and left without following through on his plan, the Hennepin County Attorney's office said in a statement. In a GoFundMe post that has so far raised more than $570,000 for the child's medical expenses, a friend of the family identified as Noah Hanneman of Woodbury, Minnesota, said on Sunday that the boy, whom he identified by his first name Landon, was still fighting for his life. Aranda, 24, of Minneapolis, will face attempted premeditated first-degree murder charges when he makes his first court appearance on Tuesday, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said in a statement.

Ola Bini: Wikileaks collaborator and Assange ally accused of plotting to blackmail Ecuador president faces 'threats in jail', parents say

Posted: 16 Apr 2019 12:19 PM PDT

Ola Bini: Wikileaks collaborator and Assange ally accused of plotting to blackmail Ecuador president faces 'threats in jail', parents sayThe parents of a Swedish programmer who was an early ally of Julian Assange and Wikileaks and who has now been accused of trying to blackmail Ecuador's president, is facing threats in jail, his parents have claimed.Ola Bini, 36, was arrested last Thursday in Ecuador, hours after Mr Assange was detained by police in London who entered the Ecuadorian embassy. Mr Assange was charged with skipping bail by a London judge, while the US charged him with conspiring with whistleblower Chelsea Manning to hack a US computer. Defenders of Mr Assange say the US is trying to punish the Wikileaks founder for exposing embarrassing and damaging information about Washington's actions, including the behaviour of its troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.Prosecutors in Ecuador, have said they intend to charge Mr Bini, a longtime Wikileaks defender, with seeking to blackmail Ecuadorian president Lenin Moreno, who turned against Mr Assange and invited the British authorities to enter the embassy last week and arrest him.On Tuesday, Mr Bini's parents, Dag Gustafsson and Gorel Bini, professed their son's innocence and said they would remain in Ecuador until he was released. "We want to say that Ola is not feeling safe, because of some threats inside," Mr Gustafsson told reporters.His wife added: "Right now, he's ok. But he's worried."Last week, Ecuador's interior minister Maria Paula Romo, told local media the Swedish coder, who has long worked with social justice groups, had been arrested for "investigative purposes"."For several years now, one of the key members of this WikiLeaks organisation and a person close to Mr Julian Assange has lived in Ecuador, and we have sufficient evidence that he has been collaborating with the destabilisation attempts against the government," she said.According to the Associated Press, she added: "It's up to the justice system to determine if he committed a crime. But we can't allow Ecuador to become a centre for piracy and spying. That period in our history is over."Ms Romo said Bini had travelled at least 12 times to meet with Assange at the London embassy. She said he was also in Venezuela earlier this year at around the same time as a close aide to Mr Moreno's former mentor turned arch enemy, Rafael Correa. Mr Correa, a former president who frequently criticised the US, had initially offered asylum to Mr Assange.


Notre-Dame's relics rescued by hero priest who rushed into flames

Posted: 16 Apr 2019 05:59 AM PDT

Notre-Dame's relics rescued by hero priest who rushed into flamesHe helped wounded victims in the 2015 attack on the Bataclan in Paris and survived an ambush in Afghanistan while serving as an Army chaplain.  Now, a French priest has been hailed as a hero once again for rushing into the burning Notre-Dame cathedral to recover the sacred Crown of Thorn Relics and the Blessed Sacrament.  On Monday night French officials expressed fears that the centuries-old artefacts would be lost to the flames, which broke out at 7pm and consumed the Cathedral's spire and roof.  But Jean-Marc Fournier, chaplain of the Paris Fire Brigade, succeeded in bringing them to safety, prompting emergency workers to declare him "an absolute hero." "He showed no fear at all as he made straight for the relics inside the Cathedral, and made sure they were saved. He deals with life and death every day, and shows no fear," one source told French media.   Catholics believe the Crown of Thorns was worn by Jesus Christ during the Crucifixion.  Paris Fire Brigade shows fire fighters working at the burning Notre Dame cathedral Credit: Benoit Moser It is not the first time Father Fournier has been praised for his bravery and public service.  In 2015 he comforted the wounded after the Isil terrorist attack which left 89 dead at the Eagles of Death Metal concert in the Bataclan concert venue.  And, during his time as an army chaplain, he survived an ambush which killed 10 troops.  The story was first broken by Etienne Loraillere, an editor for France's KTO Catholic network.  Despite dramatic images showing the top of the Cathedral engulfed in flames, no one was killed in the blaze, though one fire fighter has been seriously injured.  Notre-Dame's fire alarm went off at around 6.45pm and all members of the congregation had left the Mass and were outside when the fire took hold fifteen minutes later.  Firefighters worked through the night to extinguish the flames, and on Tuesday morning Paris officials confirmed the structure of the Cathedral had been saved. They also formed a human chain to pass valuable works of art and artefacts to safety.

Bernie Sanders tax returns: 2020 candidate is part of America’s 1 per cent after becoming millionaire

Posted: 16 Apr 2019 01:30 AM PDT

Bernie Sanders tax returns: 2020 candidate is part of America's 1 per cent after becoming millionaireBernie Sanders' became a millionaire in 2016, putting him in the top 1 per cent of earners in the US, according to the senator's long-anticipated release of 10 years of his tax returns.The release confirms Mr Sanders' income crossed the $1m (£764,000) threshold in 2016 and 2017, although he reported less earnings in his most recent return.In the Vermont senator's 2018 return, he and his wife, Jane Sanders, earned more than $550,000, including $133,000 income from his Senate salary and $391,000 in books sales.The Sanders campaign said he paid 26 per cent effective tax rate in 2018.The release comes as Mr Sanders faces criticism that his newfound wealth contradicts his political message of democratic socialism in his 2020 presidential campaign.During a Fox News town hall meeting on Monday, the senator said his increased income came from the publication of his book, Our Revolution: A Future to Believe In.At the televised meeting, Mr Sanders said he would not apologise for his recent wealth."That money in my case, and my wife's case, came from a book I wrote, a pretty good book, you might want to read it," he said."It was a bestseller, it sold all over the world, and we made money. So if anyone thinks I should apologise for writing a bestselling book, I'm sorry I'm not going to do it."He also challenged Donald Trump to release his tax returns."I guess the president watches your network a little bit, right?" Mr Sanders said to moderators Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. "Hey, President Trump. My wife and I just released 10 years. Please do the same."Mr Trump broke from decades of presidential tradition by refusing to show voters his tax returns during his 2016 presidential campaign.In 2016, Mr Sanders released just one year of his tax returns and faced criticism from his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton for refusing to release multiple years of tax documents.Mr Sanders' tax returns show he is among the top 1 per cent of earners in the US, which some critics have argued undermines his calls for an economy and government that works for everyone, not just the 1 per cent.According to the Economic Policy Institute, families in the US earning $421,926 or more a year are part of this group."These tax returns show that our family has been fortunate," the senator said in a statement. "I am very grateful for that, as I grew up in a family that lived paycheck to paycheck and I know the stress of economic insecurity.""I will continue to fight to make our tax system more progressive so that our country has the resources to guarantee the American Dream to all people."The release also disclosed $36,300 of charitable contributions by Mr Sanders and his wife in 2017, although the return does not detail their individual contributions.In 2017, the couple announced that they had donated $25,000 as a grant to launch the Sanders Institute, a non-profit educational organisation aligned with the senator's political and ideological beliefs.Jane Sanders was a co-founder of the non-profit, along with her son, David Driscoll. However, the institute was put on hiatus last month amid criticism that the organisation blurred lines between family, fundraising and campaigning. Ms Sanders said the nonprofit would cease operations beginning in May "so there could not even be an appearance of impropriety."The release of Mr Sanders' returns follows a number of Democratic presidential candidates who have released tax records, including senators Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand and Amy Klobuchar.Fellow candidate Beto O'Rourke also recently released a decade of tax records, which showed he and his wife paid $81,000 in taxes on an income of $366,000 in 2017.Agencies contributed to this report

Lou Dobbs: ‘Political Decision’ to Rule Out Arson in Notre Dame Fire

Posted: 16 Apr 2019 06:40 PM PDT

Lou Dobbs: 'Political Decision' to Rule Out Arson in Notre Dame FireFox BusinessFox Business Network host Lou Dobbs suggested Tuesday evening that French officials made a "political decision" to quickly rule out arson as the cause of the fire that destroyed much of the historic Notre Dame cathedral in Paris.While French authorities are currently treating the blaze as an accident and have ruled out—for the moment—arson and terrorism, baseless speculation and wild conspiracy theories have run rampant, especially on the right. Conservative host Glenn Beck, for instance, said: "If this was started by Islamists, I don't think you'll find out about it, because I think it would set the entire country on fire."Noting that French prosecutors are investigating the cause of the blaze, Dobbs said that "within just a matter of hours," authorities had ruled out arson.Citing an International Business Times article on recent church vandalism, the Lou Dobbs Tonight host stated that it was "perhaps overlooked" that 875 Catholic churches had been vandalized in 2018, adding that a church had been deliberately set on fire in Paris last month."This is context, this is not speculation, this is the situation right now in France and the recent history of what has happened to Catholic churches throughout the nation," Dobbs declared. "Ignored too often by some covering the tragedy, some who have ruled out speculation about the cause of the Notre Dame fire as they speculate—taking it as gospel that, well, arson was not the cause."He added: "That was a decision made within hours. It sounds like a different kind of decision. Perhaps a political decision, rather than one based on careful investigation of the facts. That would amount to speculation, wouldn't it?"Interestingly, Dobbs' questioning the cause of the fire and suggesting French officials are purposely dismissing the possibility it was maliciously set comes on the heels of two Fox News anchors cutting off interviews with guests for pushing conspiracy theories on the air.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Fox News attacks Bernie Sanders day after he embarrasses network with Medicare for All support

Posted: 16 Apr 2019 12:32 PM PDT

Fox News attacks Bernie Sanders day after he embarrasses network with Medicare for All supportNot even 24 hours after a crowd in Pennsylvania shocked Fox News hosts by expressing overwhelming support for Bernie Sanders' Medicare for All plan, the cable network has punched back at the Vermont senator.After the crowd in Pennsylvania supported Mr Sanders during the town hall event by indicating they would switch over to public health plans, "Fox and Friends" — the network's morning talk show — brought in a tax expert who expressed some major reservations about Mr Sanders' plans to reimagine the American economy."If you look at healthcare, free tuition, family leave, child care – those proposals will all have a price tag of over $20,000 per taxpayer," Maya MacGuineas, the president of the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, said, discussing a study by the group from the 2016 campaign.Mr Sanders has acknowledged that his controversial plan would be expensive, but has claimed that the system he would put in place — a virtual overhaul of the US healthcare system — would ultimately save the US money through lowered healthcare costs.But detractors have attacked the plan, and others like it proposed by Mr Sanders, as too expensive and without a clear funding source. The presidential candidate has said he would pay for the plans at least in part by raising taxes on the ultra wealthy in America.Ms MacGuineas continued: "I don't know whether they plan to finance all of that or add that to the very large national debt, but the costs are certainly high. I know trillion is kind of hard to get your arms around. But when you bring it down per taxpayer, we are talking more than $20,000 increase in taxes."The guest on "Fox and Friends" wasn't the only critic of Mr Sanders' appearance during the Fox News town hall, when moderator Brett Baier was met with cheers when he asked the Pennsylvania crowd if they'd support Mr Sanders' Medicare for All.In a tweet, Mr Trump seemed to suggest that Mr Sanders' appearance was a betrayal to him form the conservative news outlet."So weird to watch Crazy Bernie on @FoxNews. Not surprisingly, @BretBaier and the "audience was so smiley and nice. Very strange, and now we have @donnabrazile?" Mr Trump tweeted, referring to the former Democratic strategist who is now a contributor at the network.

Notre Dame Cathedral Fire Conspiracy Theories Flourish After Investigators Say There’s No Proof of Terrorism

Notre Dame Cathedral Fire Conspiracy Theories Flourish After Investigators Say There's No Proof of TerrorismStephane De Sakutin/GettyThis story originally appeared in Right Richter, a newsletter by Will Sommer. Subscribe now to see what's happening in right-wing media from the safety of your inbox.Right-wing personalities are pushing conspiracy theories about Monday's fire at Notre Dame Cathedral, even after French investigators said the case is not being investigated as arson or terrorism. Within minutes of the fire breaking out yesterday, pro-Trump commentators rushed to portray it as a symbol of Western decline. "The West has fallen," declared Mike Cernovich. Others were eager to suggest, without evidence, that Muslims were behind the fire. Gateway Pundit dredged up a three-year-old terrorist plot to blow up Notre Dame as proof that this fire was caused by terrorists. Fox News anchors had to repeatedly shut down guests who tried to push the idea that the fire was caused by terrorists. QAnon believers produced a wide range of theories, blaming the fire on everyone Michelle Obama to the deep-state to Pope Francis. On Tuesday, French fire investigators said there was no evidence that the fire was caused by arsonists or terrorists. Rather than tamping down the conspiracy theories, though, the French statement has only fueled the idea on the right that terrorists were behind the fire. Instead, they're treating the announcement as proof that the investigators can't be trusted. Pardes Seleh, a former Mediaite writer and Ben Shapiro acolyte, has become one of the leading arson truthers. "Lemme put it this way: i'd be very shocked if it was an accident," Seleh tweeted on Tuesday. "And no, french authorities announcing at the start of an investigation that they're 'treating it as an accident' doesn't count. french authorities are incompetent, we'd confirmed that long ago." Pizzagate promoter Jack Posobiec, now a reporter at the pro-Trump One America News cable channel, also suggested without evidence that the fire investigation was a coverup. "Fastest arson investigation in history," Posobiec tweeted. The groundwork for the idea that the French investigation can't be trusted was laid out Monday night by Glenn Beck, who has recently abandoned his attempts to style himself as a lonely voice of reason in the Trump era and gone back to his conspiracy theory roots.Beck claimed that, if the fire was caused by terrorists, the truth would never be revealed. "If this was started by Islamists, I don't think you'll find out about it," Beck said in an appearance on The Blaze. "Because I think it would set the entire country on fire." Since the French investigators announced the lack of arson evidence, Beck has been joined by several other right-wing figures. Stefan Molyneux, a Canadian YouTube personality, questioned the validity of the fire investigation. So did Emerald Robinson, another reporter at One America News. "Dear media: you are already reporting that Notre Dame has been declared an accident. But the investigation just started," Robinson tweeted. "And the restorers had already left for the day. And the scaffolding had just gone up with no 'welding equipment' there yet. Tell me again how it started?"Read more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip? Send it to The Daily Beast here
