Former British leader defends Biden Ukraine scenario

Former British Prime Minister David Cameron on Sunday supported the explanation offered as to why Vice President Joe Biden pressured the president of Ukraine in 2015 to crack down on corruption. Supporters of President Donald Trump — particularly his attorney Rudy Giuliani — have argued that Trump’s much-criticized July 25 phone call with the current president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, was appropriate because Biden had been corrupt in pushing Poroshenko to get rid of the state prosecutor.

Zimbabwe's Mugabe buried in home village, ending an era

Zimbabwe's founding leader Robert Mugabe was buried on Saturday in his home village of Kutama, ending a dispute between his family and the government of his successor President Emmerson Mnangagwa over his final resting place. Mugabe ruled Zimbabwe for 37 years from independence in 1980 but was a polarizing figure idolized by some for his role in the country's liberation struggle and hated by others for ruining a promising nation through disastrous economic policies and repression against opponents. After Mass by a Roman Catholic priest and speeches by family members, Mugabe was buried in the courtyard of his rural homestead without the pomp and fun fare usually reserved for national heroes.

Sure, it would be an unprecedented move in U.S. history for Republican leader Mitch McConnell to table Trump impeachment proceedings without allowing any significant debate or a vote to convict a president from his own party, thereby removing him from office. Conventional wisdom still says there has to be a Trump trial.

सिंहस्थ-2016 के शौचालय और एलईडी घोटाले में घोटाले में ईओडब्ल्यू ने दर्ज की एफआईआर

भोपाल .प्रदेश के बहुचर्चित सिंहस्थ 2016 में शौचालय साफ-सफाई और एलईडी लाइट घोटाले में ईओडब्ल्यू ने शनिवार को दो अलग-अलग एफआईआर दर्ज की हैं। जबकि दो प्राथमिकी भी दर्ज की गई हैं। शुरुआती जांच में पता चला कि जिम्मेदार अफसरों ने सिंहस्थ के बाद साढ़े तीन करोड़ रुपए से अधिक की एलईडी लाइट गायब कर दी थी। वहीं शौचालय के रखरखाव में 1.31 करोड़ रुपए का अतिरिक्त भुगतान किया गया था।

उज्जैन में अप्रैल-मई 2016 में सिंहस्थ का आयोजन किया गया था। आयोजन से पहले महाकुंभ में स्नान करने के लिए आने वाले और वहां पर ठहरने वाले श्रद्धालुओं के लिए तमाम सरकारी इंतजाम किए गए थे। उसी इंतजाम के दौरान अफसरों और प्राइवेट फर्म के संचालकों ने मिलकर तमाम गड़बडिय़ां की थी। इसमें श्रद्धालुओं के लिए बनाए गए प्रत्येक पड़ाव स्तर पर पांच सौ शौचालय तथा 10 चेंजिंग रूम की व्यवस्था बनाई गई थी। बहुत सारे शौचालय और चेंजिंग रूम में बिजली नहीं लगी थी। काली चूरी नहीं डाली गई।

नंबर नहीं डाले गए और आवश्यक संख्या में सफाई कर्मचारी नहीं रखे गए थे। बाद में बहुत सारे शौचालय गायब हो गए थे। इसमें नगर निगम के स्वास्थ्य अमले के अफसरों द्वारा 1.32 करोड़ रुपए का अतिरिक्त भुगतान किया गया था। एफआईआर में नगर निगम उज्जैन और सफाई विभाग के अधिकारियों को आरोपी बनाया गया है। सिंहस्थ मेला क्षेत्र के लिए एलईडी लाइट खरीदी गई थीं। मेला खत्म होने के बाद 1664 एलईडी कम पाई गईं थी। गुम एलईडी का मूल्य करीब 3.60 करोड़ रुपए था, जिसका भुगतान हो चुका था। ईओडब्ल्यू ने इस घोटाले में नगर निगम उज्जैन के लाइट विभाग के अफसरों को आरोपी बनाया है।

दो प्राथमिकी दर्ज, जांच के दायरे में पीएचई के अफसर : सिंहस्थ में वाटर सप्लाई के लिए डबल रेटिंग के पाइप का लगभग 50 करोड़ रुपए का भुगतान किया गया था। जिससे शासन को लगभग 35 करोड़ की आर्थिक हानि हुई है। इसी प्रकार फर्जी मस्टर रोल तैयार करके 75 लाख रुपए का भुगतान मजदूरों को दिखाया गया है। दोनों ही मामलों में ईओडब्ल्यू ने पीएचई के अफसरों के खिलाफ प्राथमिकी दर्ज की है।

6 पुरुष, 1 महिला यात्री, केमिकल से पेस्ट बना कैप्सूल में भरा, पेट में छिपा लाए 5.5 किलो सोना

इंदौर .डायरेक्टोरेट ऑफ रेवेन्यू इंटेलीजेंस (डीआरआई) इंदौर ने कस्टम विभाग के साथ मिलकर शुक्रवार रात एयरपोर्ट पर सोने की बड़ी तस्करी पकड़ी। दुबई फ्लाइट में एक महिला समेत सात यात्री अपने पेट के अंदर कैप्सूल में छिपाकर साढ़े पांच किलो सोना लाए थे। यह कैप्सूल शरीर के मलाशय (रेक्टम) जैसे अंगों में छिपे हुए थे और सोना कैप्सूल के अंदर पेस्ट (चूरा) के रूप में था। यात्रियों ने अंडरगारमेंट में भी गोल्ड पेस्ट के रूप में कुछ सोना छिपा रखा था। केमिकली ट्रीटमेंट के जरिये सोने को पेस्ट में बदलकर कैप्सूल में भरकर अंगों में छिपाया गया था।

जब्त सोने की कीमत 2.1 करोड़ रुपए बताई जा रही है। प्रदेश में पहली बार इस तरह की तस्करी पकड़ में आई है। एक साल के अंदर इंदौर में यह दूसरी सबसे बड़ी गोल्ड तस्करी पकड़ी गई है। वहीं दुबई-इंदौर की सीधी इंटरनेशनल फ्लाइट में पहली बार तस्करी का सोना पकड़ा गया है।

इसके पहले डीआरआई ने अक्टूबर 2018 में छह किलो सोना पकड़ा था। डीआरआई ने यह सोना जब्त कर आरोपियों पर कस्टम एक्ट 1962 के तहत प्रकरण कर जांच शुरू कर दी है। इसमें बड़ा रैकेट होने की शंका जताई जा रही है। जांच में यह भी सामने आया है कि ये सभी यात्री लगातार इंटरनेशनल फ्लाइट में सफर करते हैं। ऐसे में आशंका है कि इन्होंने और भी बार दुबई से इंदौर या अन्य जगह उड़ान भरकर सोने की तस्करी की होगी।

स्कैन में नहीं मिला, रातभर पूछताछ और जांच की तो शरीर के अंदर मिल गया सोना :डीआरआई के पास पुख्ता सूचना थी कि ये लोग सोना लेकर आए हैं। इंटेलीजेंस-कस्टम अधिकारियों ने इन्हें रोका और जांच शुरू की। स्कैन में भी सोना नहीं मिला, लेकिन जब शरीर को टटोला तो तस्कर डरने लगे, इससे अधिकारियों को आशंका हुई और फिर शरीर की पूरी जांच की, जिसमें यह कैप्सूल मिले, जिसे खोलने पर सोना मिल गया। साथ ही अंडरगारमेंट में छिपा गोल्ड भी बरामद किया गया।

मुंबई जाना था सोना, इंदौर इसलिए आए ताकि घरेलू एयरपोर्ट पर कस्टम जांच से बच सके :गिरफ्तार यात्री उल्लासनगर (महाराष्ट्र) के हैं। ये लोग इंदौर आकर यहां से ही इंडिगो की फ्लाइट से मुंबई रवाना होने वाले थे, क्योंकि मुंबई में घरेलू एयरपोर्ट पर कस्टम की जांच नहीं होती है और यात्रियों को लग रहा था कि इंदौर में इतनी जांच नहीं होगी, जिससे वह यहां से बचकर मुंबई चले जाएंगे, लेकिन डीआरआई के पास आई पुख्ता सूचना और जांच में सभी यात्री पकड़े गए।

Trump's Ukraine call sparks new questions over intelligence chief's firing

The president removed Dan Coats days after his conversation with Zelenskiy and insisted that Coats’s deputy not get the jobDan Coats, seen in 2018, reportedly interrupted a meeting to convince his deputy to resign. Photograph: Nicholas Kamm/AFP/Getty ImagesThree days after his now infamous phone conversation with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Donald Trump abruptly fired his director of national intelligence in favour of an inexperienced political loyalist.According to a New York Times report, the White House learned within days that the unorthodox call on 25 July with Zelenskiy had raised red flags among intelligence professionals and was likely to trigger an official complaint.That timeline has raised new questions over the timing of the Trump’s dismissal by tweet of the director of national intelligence (DNI), Dan Coats, on 28 July and his insistence that the deputy DNI, Sue Gordon, a career intelligence professional, did not step into the role, even in an acting capacity.Instead, Trump tried to install a Republican congressman, John Ratcliffe, who had minimal national security credentials but had been a fierce defender of the president in Congress. Trump had to drop the nomination after it emerged that Ratcliffe had exaggerated his national security credentials in his biography, wrongly claiming he had conducted prosecutions in terrorist financing cases.Despite the collapse of the Ratcliffe nomination, Gordon was forced out. She was reported to have been holding a meeting on election security on 8 August when Coats interrupted to convince her that she would have to resign.In a terse handwritten note to the president, Gordon said: “I offer this letter as an act of respect and patriotism, not preference. You should have your team.”The Office of the DNI (ODNI) and its inspector general has the authority to receive whistleblower complaints from across all US intelligence agencies and determine whether they should be referred to Congress.“We all knew Coats’ departure was coming because he had clashed with the president on several issues. What was weird was the president’s forcefulness in not wanting Sue Gordon to take over as acting director,” said Katrina Mulligan, a former official who worked in the ODNI, the national security council, and the justice department.“I was hearing at the time that Sue was getting actively excluded from things by the president that she would ordinarily have taken part in, and she was being made to feel uncomfortable,” said Mulligan, now managing director for national security and international policy at the Center for American Progress.“And then the president tried to install someone who was clearly unqualified,” she added. “Now the timeline of the whistleblower in the White House raises a lot of questions about the Sue Gordon piece of this.”John McLaughlin, the former acting CIA director, said the fact that Ratcliffe’s nomination was dropped and the job of acting DNI ultimately went to an intelligence professional, Joseph Maguire, was a sign that the intelligence community was so far resisting political pressure from the White House.Maguire faced tough questioning in Congress this week about his initial refusal, on justice department guidance, to refer the whistleblower complaint to Congress.“On politicisation, my sense is that the community is holding the line against it although undoubtedly dealing with more or less constant pressure,” McLaughlin said. “I felt kind of bad for the acting DNI, an honourable man with impeccable service to the nation. I believe he made some honest errors in judgment rather than yielding to political pressure. Throwing him into this job in these circumstances on such short notice is a little like assigning me on a navy Seal mission.”

New chapter opens in Pennsylvania in fight over suing church

When post offices close Monday, the last victim compensation funds at Pennsylvania's Roman Catholic dioceses will also close, hours before lawmakers plunge back into a years-old fight over whether to let long-ago victims of child sexual abuse sue perpetrators and institutions that may have covered it up. It comes more than a year after last year's landmark grand jury report that accused senior Catholic Church officials of hushing up the abuse for decades. In the report's wake, the Philadelphia archdiocese and six Pennsylvania dioceses opened victim compensation funds while state lawmakers fought to a standstill over giving now-adult victims of childhood sexual abuse a legal "window" to sue.

How Ukraine envoy's resignation could affect his possible Congressional testimony

Kurt Volker, the State Department's special envoy for Ukraine, resigned Friday amid a formal impeachment inquiry of President Trump and his communications with the Ukrainian government, including the country's president, Volodymyr Zelensky. Volker did not provide a public explanation for leaving his post, but a source familiar with his decision said Volker concluded he could not perform the job effectively as a result of the recent developments.One person familiar with the matter told NBC News that Volker's resignation will likely enable him to be much freer in what he can say about his time at his post if he is called at some point to testify before Congress.The whistleblower complaint that sparked the impeachment inquiry alleges that Volker went to Kiev to help guide Ukrainian officials on how to handle Trump's alleged demands that the government investigate former Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter. He also reportedly spoke with Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani in an attempt to "contain the damage" to U.S. national security.Giuliani has said Volker encouraged him to meet with Ukrainian officials regarding the Biden family. That indeed appears to be the case, but The New York Times reports Volker was acting at the request of the Ukrainians, who were reportedly concerned about how Giuliani's attempts to procure information about the Bidens and other Democrats might affect their relationship with the U.S. Read more at NBC News and The New York Times.

Bangladesh to build barbed wire fences around Rohingya camps

Bangladesh is planning to install barbed-wire fencing, guard towers and cameras around Rohingya refugee camps, raising fears of prison-like conditions in the already bleak settlements. The move comes amid growing security concerns and rising impatience in Dhaka that no solution has been found to repatriate or rehouse some one million refugees who have fled from Burma’s Rakhine state to the Bangladeshi port of Cox’s Bazar, most during a murderous military crackdown in 2017. "There are three large camps. We'll fence the three camps with barbed wires," Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan told reporters this week. "Watch towers and CCTV cameras" would also be set up to monitor activity in the Cox's Bazar district settlements, he added, according to AFP. Tensions over the camps have increased since a repatriation bid to encourage refugees to return to Burma in August failed because of the minority’s fears that they would not be allowed back to their homes and would never be granted Burmese citizenship. Life inside the Bangladeshi camps is already bleak Credit: Mohammad Ponir Hossain/Reuters The aborted attempt has heightened the possibility that a large section of the Rohingya community could be forcibly relocated in the near future to Bhasan Char, a remote, cyclone-prone silt island that only recently emerged from the sea. Dhaka has been dialing up the pressure on the Rohingya, taking steps to restrict their activities, including the blocking of 3G and 4G mobile networks, confiscating SIM cards and mobile phones, reportedly over fears that criminal gangs are involved in murder and drug smuggling. Two refugees were killed in a gun battle with Bangladeshi border guards after failing to surrender when they were caught trying to cross over from Burma early on Friday and reportedly opened fire. The guards claimed the men were carrying 70,000 methamphetamine tablets. The movement of Rohingya refugees to and from the crowded Cox’s Bazar camps is already severely restricted, and families are unable to earn a livelihood and children cannot receive a higher education. Aid workers have indicated that conditions in the squalid settlements are rapidly becoming more desperate. Children in the camps have no hope of a higher education Credit: Munir Uz Zaman/AFP “As tensions inside Cox’s Bazar mount, violence has become a daily occurrence and we know that there are many Rohingya refugees desperate to return to their homes,” Manish Agrawal, Bangladesh director for the International Rescue Committee, told The Telegraph earlier this month. “People find it impossible to look to the future and live beyond each day; they cannot access basic services and finding work is out of the question.” But Mr Agarwal added that despite the hardships, there was still “immense fear” of returning to Burma and that any repatriation must be done on a safe and voluntary basis. “This will only happen if the root causes of the crisis are addressed and the governments of Bangladesh and Myanmar work collaboratively with the international community; the Rohingya people must have a viable pathway to citizenship, have access to jobs and services and, most of all, protected from harm,” he said. Last year, a United Nations fact-finding team recommended the prosecution of top Burmese military commanders on charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Burma has rejected the allegations. In mid-September the team cited the lack of accountability for the perpetrators of the alleged crimes when it concluded that "that there is a serious risk that genocidal actions may occur or recur”.

Run by California GOP stalwart pressures indicted incumbent

Wealthy former congressman Darrell Issa says he retired from the U.S. House of Representatives because the Southern California district he served for 18 years had grown too moderate and no longer fit him. With his name recognition and wealth, Issa's entry Thursday into the race in the 50th District increases the pressure on six-term Rep. Duncan Hunter to step aside, analysts say. Hunter was one of the first to endorse candidate Donald Trump before the 2016 election, but political analyst Carl Luna said Issa's bid sends the message to voters that the Republican party does not want to take a risk.
