Italy's Matteo Salvini Is Back With a Vengeance

(Bloomberg Opinion) -- Matteo Salvini is back with a vengeance.The leader of Italy’s right-wing League had disappeared from the political limelight after he tried and failed to force a new election in August, falling out of government. A triumph in a local election on Sunday shows he’s primed for a return.Italy’s right-of-center coalition — made up of the League, the Brothers of Italy and Forza Italia — stormed to victory in the small central region of Umbria, traditionally a stronghold of the left. A number of local scandals assisted the parties in pulling off their unprecedented win. But the result is a warning shot to the ruling Democratic Party and Five Star Movement, and a sign that Salvini remains extremely popular with voters.In the past two months the left-of-center Democrats and their populist coalition partners Five Star have reassured international investors that Italy has no intention of clashing with the European Union (as it did under Salvini’s rule), let alone of leaving the single currency. A prudent budget has helped slash the country’s borrowing costs, pushing 10-year bond yields to 1%. But the two parties have failed to strike a chord with the electorate, as the budget also included tax hikes and new administrative burdens, some of which had to be reversed.The Democrats and Five Star have spent much of their time in government arguing with each other, leaving voters to wonder what they can achieve. These divisions have given Salvini heart after a difficult summer. The League leader had pulled the plug on the previous League-Five Star coalition government as he’d hoped this would trigger an election. He was outmaneuvered by his opponents and saw his poll ratings dip.Since then he has regrouped, rebuilding an alliance with his former partners in Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia and the far right Brothers of Italy, and attacking the government for its tax hikes. The League is now back at about 33% in the polls and the right of center parties look on course for an absolute majority in any future election.The “yellow-red” coalition between Five Star and the Democrats always looked like a bad idea. The two parties had spent years trading insults, especially after Five Star teamed up with the League. It would have been better to have given Salvini his election this year. He would have almost certainly won, but that would have provided a true test of governing alone.The League would have had to resolve its ambiguity over Italy’s membership of the euro, a vagueness it was allowed to maintain so long as it was (in name at least) the junior partner to Five Star in government. The Democrats and other parties would have had time to build a credible alternative from opposition.Five Star and the Democrats have a difficult road ahead. Luigi Di Maio, Five Star’s leader, is presiding over a number of internal revolts after his party slumped below 10% in Umbria. Nicola Zingaretti, the leader of the Democrats, faces an equally tough challenge from his predecessor Matteo Renzi, who has set up his own centrist party and could destabilize the government. Fear of Salvini is keeping this coalition together but that won’t be enough to glue together a cohesive and resolute governing agenda.Italy has found a short-term fix to the risk of market instability through this coalition government, but it is not a long-term solution. Slow growth, towering debt and highly uncertain politics will continue to daunt Rome.To contact the author of this story: Ferdinando Giugliano at fgiugliano@bloomberg.netTo contact the editor responsible for this story: James Boxell at jboxell@bloomberg.netThis column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the editorial board or Bloomberg LP and its owners.Ferdinando Giugliano writes columns on European economics for Bloomberg Opinion.

Special Report: In a working-class Hong Kong neighborhood, the protests hit home

From the top of Lion Rock, all of Hong Kong reveals itself: the sprawl of the Kowloon Peninsula directly below, the iconic Star Ferry plying the waters of Victoria Harbor, the moneyed heights of Hong Kong island beyond. In the shadow of the revered mountain rise huge monoliths, drab concrete tower blocks far removed from the glittering glass highrises of Hong Kong island's steroidal skyline. Here, in a neighborhood of public housing estates called Wong Tai Sin, seemingly endless stacks of aging windows heave with drying laundry and hum with air conditioners sweating droplets onto the pavement below.

खुद को लेफ्टिनेंट बताने वाले जयप्रकाश के घर से मिले रक्षा भूमि संबंधी दस्तावेज, प्रिंटर और हार्डडिस्क

महू/इंदौर .इंदौर में बीते मंगलवार को बायपास पर सड़क हादसे में मृत आर्मी वॉर कॉलेज में पदस्थ सिविल कोटे के लोअर क्लर्क जयप्रकाश झा द्वारा खुद को लेफ्टिनेंट बताकर रहने के खुलासे के बाद बुधवार को सेना व तेजाजी नगर पुलिस ने उसके घर सर्चिंग की। घर से 154 इंफेंट्री बटालियन लेफ्टिनेंट के फर्जी कार्ड के साथ सैन्य अधिकारिता वर्दी सहित रक्षा संपदा भूमि संबंधी दस्तावेज बरामद हुए हैं। मृतक के भाई चंद्रप्रकाश की मौजूदगी में उसके समर्थ पार्क कॉलोनी स्थित घर पर डेढ़ घंटे चली सर्चिंग में प्रिंटर, हार्डडिस्क सहित कई चीजें भी मिली हैं। सेना व पुलिस जांच कर रही है कि कहीं वह सेना से जुड़ी खुफिया व कैंट एरिया की जानकारी किसी संदिग्ध या आतंकी संगठन को शेयर तो नहीं कर रहा था।

साथ ही यह भी देखा जा रहा है कि जो दस्तावेज मिले हैं, वह इतनी सख्त चेकिंग के बावजूद बाहर कैसे चले गए। जयप्रकाश के घर से पुलिस को एक काले रंग की कार (एमपी 09 सीजे 7189) व एक दोपहिया वाहन (एमपी 09 यूएम 4585) भी मिला है। कार किसी यश मिश्रा के नाम पर रजिस्टर्ड है। मिश्रा कौन है, इसकी जानकारी निकाली जा रही है। हालांकि जिस कार से एक्सीडेंट हुआ, वह जयप्रकाश के नाम पर रजिस्टर्ड थी।

25 हजार की नौकरी, दो महंगी कार, दो नौकर, कैसे मेंटेन कर रहा
जयप्रकाश की मूल नियुक्ति सिविल सफाईकर्मी के कोटे में हुई थी और वेतन 25 हजार रुपए महीना था। इतने कम वेतन में 30 लाख रुपए की एसयूवी और 8 लाख रुपए की दूसरी कार व दो नौकरों का खर्च वह कैसे उठा रहा था, इसको लेकर पुलिस संपत्ति की जांच कर रही है। सेना में नियुक्ति के नाम पर फर्जीवाड़े, धोखाधड़ी जैसे पहलुओं पर भी पड़ताल की जा रही है।

पुलिस को घर से मिली चिट्‌ठी लिखा-ससुर आतंकी प्रवृत्ति के
उसके घर से पुलिस को एक पत्र मिला, जिसमें जयप्रकाश ने ससुर पवन झा और ससुराल पक्ष द्वारा प्रताड़ित करने का लिखा है। इसमें उसने यह भी लिखा है कि उसके ससुर आतंकी प्रवृत्ति के हैं। तेजाजी नगर टीआई नीरज मेड़ा के मुताबिक, जयप्रकाश के घर से मिली सभी चीजों की जानकारी सेना को दे दी है। लैपटॉप में कुछ खास नहीं मिला, डाटा रिकवर कर आगे जांच करेंगे।

भाई को बोला था, सेना में रैंक बढ़ गई है
पुलिस ने मृतक के भाई चंद्रप्रकाश से पूछताछ की तो उसने बताया कि पिताजी गांव के स्कूल में प्रधान अध्यापक थे। महू में जब घर आए थे, तो बताया था सेना में उसकी रैंक बढ़ गई है, सब कुछ अच्छा होने वाला है।

पड़ोसी बोले- किसी से नहीं करते थे बात
महू में जयप्रकाश के घर के पड़ोसियों ने बताया कि कई बार जयप्रकाश व घर वालों से बात करने की कोशिश की, पर वे किसी से मिलते तक नहीं थे। सामने से आता देख मोबाइल पर बात करने की नौटंकी करते हुए भीतर चले जाता। कई बार जयहिंद करते तो उसका जवाब भी नहीं देता। जयप्रकाश की काले रंग की कार कुछ दिन पहले भी दुर्घटनाग्रस्त हुई थी। तबसे उसे कवर से ढांककर रखा था।

After hitting a dead end in efforts to defuse the crisis sweeping Lebanon, Saad al-Hariri informed a top Hezbollah official on Monday he had no choice but to quit as prime minister in defiance of the powerful Shi'ite group. The decision by the Sunni leader shocked Hussein al-Khalil, political advisor to Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who advised him against giving in to protesters who wanted to see his coalition government toppled. The meeting described to Reuters by four senior sources from outside Hariri's Future Party captures a critical moment in the crisis that has swept Lebanon for the last two weeks as Hariri yielded to the massive street protests against the ruling elite.

What Baghdadi’s Death Means for al Qaeda—and Why It Matters

SITE Intelligence GroupWith ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi killed one day and the group’s official spokesman Abu Hassan al-Muhajir the next, there’s a giant hole in the pseudo-Caliphate structure of the so-called Islamic State. The group must now, by its strict religious tenets, find a new (supposed) descendant of the Prophet Muhammed to fill the role of Caliph. But the deaths of those two are equally consequential for al-Qaeda, the bitter rival of ISIS for leadership of global jihad. Al-Qaeda has spent the last six years branding the Caliphate as illegitimate, too extreme, and ultimately harmful. When ISIS declared the establishment of its so-called Caliphate spanning territory in Syria and Iraq in 2014, al-Qaeda and its affiliates unanimously rejected it. To this day, al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri’s speeches rarely come without some critique of the “epidemic” put forth by ISIS.Trump Officials Had No Clue Where He Got ‘Whimpering’ Detail in His Baghdadi Raid AccountOddly, Baghdadi was killed in Idlib, a haven of al-Qaeda-linked fighters and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, a Syrian Islamist faction led by Abu Muhammad al-Julani, a former al-Qaeda comrade who had become one of Baghdadi's most bitter foes. There has been some speculation Baghdadi was not just hiding out but trying to recruit from the ranks of his enemies.Neither al-Qaeda Central nor its affiliates have commented on Baghdadi’s death as yet, but within hours after the news broke, al-Qaeda ideologues and supporters already were celebrating the event and discussing what it will mean for the future of jihad. In chat groups online, al-Qaeda supporters voiced resentment after years of bitter strife with the group, and the scale of these responses illustrates just how much of a big deal and opportunity they see with Baghdadi’s death.“Based on his orders, thousands of the mujahideen were killed,” one post read.“How thrilled were they every time leaders from al-Qaeda were martyred?” read another.Some wished Baghdadi the ultimate condemnation:  “May Allah send him to Hell.”Messages by others, however, particularly al-Qaeda-linked ideologues, balanced expressions of justice for the jihadi movement with restraint, making sure not to celebrate excessively the result of an operation by the United States.The tactful enthusiasm is calculated. Many ISIS fighters, much of its military infrastructure, many media officials, and supporters were pulled from al-Qaeda. Now, with ISIS’ “Caliph” dead and that Caliphate itself destroyed, al-Qaeda has been given its biggest opportunity yet to bring many of them back under its tent. SITE Intelligence GroupPerhaps the most profound instance of this outreach was a lengthy essay by “Adel Amin,” the pen name of a prominent ideologue linked to the Shabaab al-Mujahideen Movement, al-Qaeda’s branch in Somalia and most powerful affiliate. The message, disseminated widely across al-Qaeda-supporting channels and chat groups (many of which are also frequented by pro-ISIS users), demanded that ISIS supporters “return to the road of righteousness” after the Islamic State, in all of its excessive aggression and delusions of destiny, has proven itself a failure. Amin wrote:The situation here is not one in which to gloat. It is a situation for reminding and calling on those who remained in the ranks of al-Baghdadi, to reconsider… Indeed, we witnessed its back being broken, its leaders getting killed, and its banner falling, and we hope that we can witness whoever remains from its soldiers returning to righteousness.Statements by other ideologues and supporters voiced the same points. A statement by Sirajuddin Zurayqat, a former religious official in the now-defunct al-Qaeda-linked Brigades of Abdullah Azzam in Lebanon, urged: “Now [Baghdadi] is dead and there is not one from the Ummah grieving over him or giving condolences... Therefore, those who were deceived by him should reconsider before it is too late!”These messages echo the same calls heard from Zawahiri and al-Qaeda affiliates over the years calling on ISIS fighters to “repent” and leave the group. Yet despite these new circumstances, ISIS supporters will not easily be moved. Since the summer of 2016, the group’s followers have seen the loss of the major cities Mosul in Iraq and Raqqah in Syria as well as the death of revered ISIS figures like Omar Shishani, Abu Muhammad al-‘Adnani, and others. With the latest setbacks to its leadership, ISIS-linked accounts online already have poured out calls to stay steadfast and have even used Baghdadi’s death as a rallying point to carry out new attacks. Reinforcing this undeterred support is an ISIS military and media machine that has shown no sign of stopping in the last two days. While ISIS has not yet officially acknowledged the death of Baghdadi, it has continued reporting on day-to-day military activity across Iraq, Syria, and the Afghanistan-Pakistan region.ISIS' Yemen Province - AQAP Prisoners as Featured in the video “He Who Starts is More Unjust”SITE Intelligence GroupFurthermore, while al-Qaeda affiliates like the Shabaab serve as powerful representatives of the organization, al-Qaeda Central is weaker than it has ever been. These days, al-Qaeda Central’s role is largely symbolic, limited to leadership messages and other content while steering the big-picture ethos of the organization. Its attempts to bolster its image, already heavily weighed down by a less-than-charismatic leader in Zawahiri, were upended upon the death of Hamza bin Laden, the son of Osama, whom al-Qaeda likely was grooming for an eventual leadership position. These variables considered, al-Qaeda may not be the appealing alternative for jihadists that its supporters want it to seem. So, while some fighters might very well join the ranks of al-Qaeda affiliates in their region, we shouldn't expect to see any drastic migration from ISIS’ ranks into its rival’s.Despite any notions of good-riddance that al-Qaeda and its supporters attach to Baghdadi’s death, and for whatever number of defectors it may win over as a result of Baghdadi’s demise, ISIS is not going anywhere. The barriers between these terrorist organizations have only hardened over the years, fueling deadly clashes and jihadi PR wars. Baghdadi was not the sole barrier keeping ISIS members from joining al-Qaeda, and his death is unlikely to diminish existing disputes.How U.S. Commandos IDed a ‘Mutilated’ Baghdadi So QuicklyRead more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

Trump Administration Challenges California Sanctuary Law in Supreme Court

The Trump administration has petitioned the Supreme Court to strike down California's "sanctuary law," which hinders cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities.The administration is challenging several provisions in the California Values Act, or S.B. 54. The law prohibits officials from sharing information with ICE about a suspect's release from custody, eliminating any opportunity for ICE agents to take illegal immigrants into custody before they are released from local jails. It also prohibits local law-enforcement officers from sharing physical descriptions of suspects with immigration authorities."The practical consequences of California’s obstruction are not theoretical; as a result of SB 54, criminal aliens have evaded the detention and removal that Congress prescribed, and have instead returned to the civilian population, where they are disproportionately likely to commit additional crimes," the Trump administration argued in its petition, which was filed Monday.While the provisions of S.B. 54 do not technically apply to suspects with a violent criminal history, since the law effectively prevents local law enforcement from cooperating with ICE, immigration officials must stake out jails and police stations to await the release of non-citizen suspects from custody, and only then make arrests.Last week at a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee, ICE official Timothy Robbins claimed that the Los Angeles police department was releasing as many as 100 illegal immigrants per day from custody."Cooperation between ICE and state and local law enforcement agencies is critical to the agency’s efforts to identify and arrest removable aliens, and to protect the nation’s security,” Robbins said at the time. “Unfortunately, we are seeing more jurisdictions that refuse to work with our officers, or directly impede our public safety efforts."

Biden's communion denial highlights faith-politics conflict

A Roman Catholic priest's denial of communion to Joe Biden in South Carolina on Sunday illustrates the fine line presidential candidates must walk as they talk about their faiths: balancing religious values with a campaign that asks them to choose a side in polarizing moral debates. The awkward moment for Biden came during a weekend campaign swing through South Carolina, a pivotal firewall in his hopes to claim the Democratic presidential nomination. The former vice president on Sunday visited St. Anthony Catholic Church in Florence, a midsize city in the state's largely rural northeast.

Argentina’s Alberto Fernandez Has Olive Branch Coffee Meeting With Macri

(Bloomberg) -- Alberto Fernandez doesn’t take over as Argentine president until Dec. 10, but how he interacts with outgoing leader Mauricio Macri in the meantime is key to an economy in turmoil. On Monday at least the two men were talking.Fernandez arrived at the presidential palace in downtown Buenos Aires without any staff, save for a spokesman. Television networks showed pictures of the men, both in suits, shaking hands before sitting in armchairs facing each other. They met for about an hour over coffee.Later on Fernandez smiled and waved as he entered a car to leave, but he did not comment.Even that is a start for what could be a tricky transition period from a market-friendly leader who tried to enact fiscal discipline, to a left-leaning populist who has promised to increase spending for a public tired of the high cost of living and lack of strong public services.Fernandez told Macri during the meeting that he will provide details of a team to work with the Macri administration through Dec. 10, a person familiar with their discussion said. Fernandez didn’t mention anyone specific and he did not hand over a list of names, the person said. Fernandez’s adviser Santiago Cafiero will coordinate the transition team, they added.Argentine Bonds Fall After Fernandez Wins Presidential VoteMacri has been grappling with a contracting economy, high inflation, a sliding currency and a tricky debt negotiation with the International Monetary Fund. The economy could be in even worse shape by the time Fernandez takes office, so statements of intent to work together in the interim could reassure markets, investors and the public alike.A surprisingly strong win by Fernandez in a primary vote in August spooked markets, with the currency slide that followed forcing Macri to enact capital controls. In the early hours of Monday after Macri conceded the election, Fernandez was giving little away.“Hopefully those who were our opponents during these four years are conscious of what they’re leaving behind and help us rebuild the country from the ashes,” he told supporters at his campaign bunker.Fernandez Wins in Argentina as Voters Rebuff Macri’s AusterityAnalysts argue Fernandez may need to moderate his rhetoric after Macri’s coalition fared better than expected in congressional races, setting the stage for potential gridlock.“That implies greater limitations for Alberto Fernandez’s future government,” said Camila Perochena, a political science professor at University of Torcuato Di Tella in Buenos Aires. “The need to reach consensus with the opposition is becoming more evident.”Investors are waiting for Fernandez to unveil his economic team and further clues to his policy direction. His team ranges from traditional economists to unorthodox policy makers. It’s unclear how Fernandez will renegotiate Argentina’s $56 billion credit line with the IMF, a deal that’s currently suspended due to policy uncertainty.“Alberto Fernandez will have little time to find the formula for an economic turnaround,” said Nicolas Solari, director of polling firm Real Time Data. “The coalition he’s bringing to the presidency is just as broad as it is unstable.”For his part, Macri’s government moved quickly overnight to limit the market fallout from his loss, significantly tightening capital controls to stabilize the peso. Argentines can only buy $200 in greenbacks per month, sharply down from the previous ceiling put in place Sept. 1 of $10,000. Before then, dollar purchases were unlimited.Argentina’s Election and Currency Controls: All You Need to KnowThe Argentine peso gained 0.8% on Monday after the controls. Bonds declined, with spreads between U.S. Treasury notes widening 98 basis points to the highest in nearly two months. Stocks also declined with a benchmark U.S.-listed ETF falling 2.4%. A key question will be how Fernandez interacts with his powerful deputy, former president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. She was president from 2007 to 2015 and handed Macri an economy damaged by years of Peronism -- an anti-elite political movement that traditionally favors workers over business owners.Some noted Fernandez’s left-leaning remarks in his victory speech, in particular expressing support for former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva, who is in jail. He also plans to travel soon to Mexico to meet its left-wing president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.“We’ll have to see the tone of Fernandez’s administration to find consensus,” said Juan Germano, director of Argentina polling firm Isonomia. “The last four years showed there was no consensus between Kirchner’s and Macri’s parties, but with this election result, both sides have more incentives to reach consensus.”(Adds stocks trading in 14th paragraph.

Australian sentenced to 36 years for murder, rape of Israeli

An Australian judge sentenced a man to 36 years in prison on Tuesday for the murder and rape of an Israeli student whom he bludgeoned into unconsciousness moments after she stepped off a tram in Melbourne before setting her corpse on fire. Victoria state Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Hollingworth ordered Codey Herrmann, 21, to serve at least 30 years behind bars for his crimes against 21-year-old Aiia Maasarwe last January. The judge said she would have sentenced Herrmann to 40 years in prison with 35 years to be served before he became eligible for parole if he had not pleaded guilty in the face of an overwhelming prosecution case.

Is Trump trying to unleash the Border Patrol on all of America?

Two in three Americans live in the "border zone," a 100-mile stretch inland where some constitutional due process and privacy protections are functionally canceled in the name of border security. The zone includes entire states -- Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, nearly all of New England, and all but a tiny sliver of Michigan -- as well as about three in four of our 20 largest metro areas. Is the Trump administration trying to make it bigger?The prospect seems obviously attractive to immigration hawks like White House senior adviser Stephen Miller, known to be the president's chief influence on border policy. Yet the possible suggestion of interest in expanding the border zone comes not from Miller but acting Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Mark Morgan, who joined President Trump on stage at a law enforcement conference in Chicago this week."We will be building 450 miles of big, beautiful wall by the end of 2020," Morgan said, implausibly. "With every mile of wall that's being built, I promise you, it's not just the cities and towns on the border. I always say: Every town, every city, every state is a border town, a border city, and border state."Is that just a figure of speech? Because it's blatantly untrue -- unless the border zone goes national.My suspicion here may seem unfounded, and I hope it is. But I think there are two good reasons to be wary.The first is the nature of the border zone, which too few Americans realize exists. The Fourth Amendment protects our right "to be secure in [our] persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures" and requires specific probable cause before search warrants are issued. But at the border, CBP agents are allowed to conduct searches of bags and vehicles without meeting those requirements. And in 1953, the Justice Department issued a regulation saying these relaxed rules apply within a "reasonable distance" from the actual border, a term the DOJ defined as 100 miles.The 100-mile decision was made by unelected administrators. It wasn't open to public input, nor was it determined by our representatives in Congress. Nevertheless, the Supreme Court upheld the rule in 1976 in U.S. v Martinez-Fuerte, where the 7-2 majority wrote that usually law enforcement must have "individualized suspicion" to breach someone's privacy, but as long as the Border Patrol checkpoints are "reasonably located" (i.e. within the 100-mile range), agents can stop, search, and question motorists without any particular cause.As the minority opinion noted, there's "no principle in the jurisprudence of fundamental rights which permits constitutional limitations to be dispensed with merely because they cannot be conveniently satisfied." The fact that CBP agents typically won't be able to establish probable cause by looking at a moving vehicle should not mean they get to ignore the Constitution. That's not how rights work, and this "papers, please" style of law enforcement is fundamentally un-American.Yet even if you agree with the theory of the 100-mile rule, the practice is a disaster and sees CBP authority expanded well past what Martinez-Fuerte permitted. As Cato Institute scholar and former CIA analyst Patrick Eddington has detailed, CBP agents "elect to ignore the court's admonition in the Martinez-Fuerte ruling that 'any further detention ... must be based on consent or probable cause.'" They've "used violence to remove motorists from their vehicles when they decline to answer questions after asserting their rights;" expanded their searches to planes, buses, and trains; and used the checkpoints in service to the wars on drugs and terror. (No terrorists have ever been arrested this way.)The upshot, as the ACLU has reported in its extensive coverage of the border zone, is CBP "agents are stopping, interrogating, and searching Americans on an everyday basis with absolutely no suspicion of wrongdoing, and often in ways that our Constitution does not permit." And in the years since the 100-mile rule was created, Border Patrol agents have grown from a force of 1,100 to around 21,000, with an estimated 170 permanent "interior checkpoints." What may have been relatively innocuous at the start is now a major problem.That brings us to the second reason to be worried by Morgan's remark: The border zone as it exists today was implemented with remarkably little pushback. The Border Zone Reasonableness Restoration Act of 2019 would reduce the zone to 25 miles, but that would still include most major cities in the current designation -- and it has no legislative traction anyway.If neither Congress nor the Supreme Court objects to this status quo, why would we expect them to object to extending the border zone to include the final third of the population? If it's fine to have CBP infringing around 200 million people's Fourth Amendment rights, what's another 100 million?It's not true that every town, every city, every state is a border town, a border city, and border state. The unchallenged corruption of the border zone gives us good cause to be leery of any talk that suggests they are.

Ivan Milat, who killed backpackers, dies in Australia prison

Ivan Milat, whose grisly serial killings of seven European and Australian backpackers horrified Australia in the early '90s, died in a Sydney prison on Sunday, ending hopes of a deathbed confession to more unsolved slayings. Milat died in Long Bay Prison where authorities sent him from a hospital last week to ensure he ended his days behind bars, officials said. Milat was convicted of murder in the deaths of three German, two British, and two Australian backpackers after giving them rides while they were hitchhiking.

हनी ट्रैप में फंसे अफसरों से छुट्‌टी के दिन गुपचुप तरीके से होगी पूछताछ

भोपाल .हनी ट्रैप में फंसकर महिलाओं के हाथों ब्लैकमेल होने वाले नेताओं और अफसरों को पूछताछ के लिए बुलाने की तैयारी है। ज्यादातर अफसरों को छुट्टी के दिन चुपचाप आने को कहा गया है। महिलाओं द्वारा बनाए गए आपत्तिजनक वीडियो को सामने रखकर एसआईटी अफसरों से पूछेगी कि वीडियो में आप हैं या नहीं।

अफसरों से महिलाओं के एनजीओ को दिए गए काम के दस्तावेज दिखाकर भी सवाल किए जाएंगे। इंदौर पुलिस ने नगर निगम के इंजीनियर हरभजन सिंह की शिकायत पर श्वेता विजय जैन, श्वेता स्वप्निल जैन, बरखा सोनी, आरती दयाल और मोनिका यादव को गिरफ्तार किया था। ब्लैकमेल करने की धमकी देकर आरती दयाल ने इंजीनियर से तीन करोड़ रुपए मांगे थे।

उनके पास से कई पूर्व मंत्रियों, कुछ कारोबारियों और मध्यप्रदेश के एक दर्जन आईएएस अफसरों के आॅडियो-वीडियो मिले थे। अब एसआईटी जांच की रफ्तार तेज करने के मूड में है। सूत्रों के मुताबिक अफसरों को बुलाकर उनके सामने लैपटॉप में वीडियो खोले जाएंगे। उन्हें दिखाकर पूछा जाएगा कि आप हैं या नहीं। आप संबंधित महिलाओं को पहचानते हैं या नहीं। जिन-जिन एनजीओ को अफसरों ने काम दिए हैं उनके आदेश की काॅपी भी गिरफ्तार महिलाओं के लैपटॉप और मोबाइल में मिली हैं।

शुरुआत आईएएस अफसरों से
पहले आईएएस अफसरों से पूछताछ होगी, क्योंकि उनकी संख्या ज्यादा है। नेताओं की संख्या अफसरों की तुलना में कम है। आखिर में आईपीएस अफसरों से पूछताछ होगी।

‘Complete Control’: Boston College Student Told Boyfriend to Kill Himself ‘Thousands of Times,’ DA Says

Boston Globe via GettyA former Boston College student was indicted on charges of involuntary manslaughter over her boyfriend’s suicide, Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins announced at a Monday press conference.Inyoung You, a 21-year-old South Korean student, was indicted by a grand jury on Oct. 18 in the death of her boyfriend Alexander Urtula, 22, who killed himself on the day of his graduation from Boston College, said Rollins.You’s indictment is reminiscent of the headline-grabbing case of Michelle Carter, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2017 over the death of her boyfriend, 18-year-old Conrad Roy III. Carter is serving a 15-month sentence after it was revealed that she pushed Roy to end his life over text message and repeatedly chastised him when he hesitated.“The time is right and you are ready... just do it babe,” Carter reportedly wrote in one message.The district attorney said Monday that You’s case is distinct in that she waged “a complete and utter attack on this man’s will and conscience and psyche,” telling him to kill himself “thousands of times” over their 18-month relationship.On May 20, Urtula’s family was in town from New Jersey to watch him walk across the stage during his graduation from Boston College. He never made it. “What appeared to be a self-inflicted horrific tragedy ended up being a lot more than that” when authorities began looking through his cellphone, said Richard Sullivan, superintendent of the Transit Police Department.The ensuing investigation revealed that You was “physically, verbally, and psychologically abusive” to Urtula and was tracking his location on her phone the morning of his death, Rollins said. School officials said Urtula, a biology major, was a gifted student from Cedar Grove, New Jersey. He was working as a researcher at a New York hospital after completing his coursework the previous December, said Joy Moore, the interim vice president of student affairs, when she announced Urtula’s death.“While today is a day for celebration, we ask you to take a moment to remember Alexander, his family, and friends in your prayers during this most difficult time,” Moore said in May.Speaking at the press conference on Monday, Rollins said that You “made demands and threats with the understanding that she had complete control” over Urtula. She “in fact was present when” he killed himself, the district attorney added.The indictment alleges that You’s behavior “was wanton and reckless” and that she “created life-threatening conditions” for Urtula.In domestic abuse, said Rollins, “a perpetrator is not limited by the gender or the gender of their partner.”You left for South Korea after Urtula’s death.“There are any number of ways that we can try to extradite her back from Korea,” said the district attorney. “We are fully fluent in the ways we can get her back if she doesn’t want to do so voluntarily. We are cautiously optimistic that she will return on her own.”If you or a loved one are struggling with suicidal thoughts, please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255), or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741Read more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

US police sergeant told to 'tone down the gayness' wins $20m in damages

Keith Wildhaber, who was allegedly passed over for promotion 23 times, wins discrimination lawsuit against St Louis county policeSergeant Keith Wildhaber. Jurors in St Louis county court also heard that a police captain had called Wildhaber ‘fruity’. Photograph: Cristina M Fletes/APA gay Missouri police sergeant has been awarded nearly $20m in damages after he was told if he wanted to be promoted he should “tone down the gayness”.Keith Wildhaber, a sergeant with St Louis county police, filed a lawsuit against the department in 2017, after allegedly being passed over for promotion 23 times. Jurors in St Louis county court also heard that a police captain had called Wildhaber “fruity”.“I was sickened by it,” Wildhaber told the court last week, according to the St Louis Post-Dispatch.“I think I said: ‘I can’t believe we are having this conversation in 2014.’ It was devastating to hear.”Wildhaber said he was told to “tone down the gayness” by John Saracino, a former St Louis county police board of commissioners member. Saracino has denied it.Donna Woodland, a witness in the trial, supported Wildhaber’s complaint, the Post-Dispatch reported. Woodland testified that she had heard the St Louis county police captain Guy Means say Wildhaber was “way too out there with his gayness and he needed to tone it down if he wanted a white shirt [be promoted]”.She also recalled Means saying: “You know about him, right? He’s fruity.”The jury awarded Wildhaber $1.9m in actual damages and $10m in punitive damages on the discrimination allegation, according to the Post-Dispatch. It also found Wildhaber had been the victim of retaliation after filing his lawsuit, adding $999,000 in actual damages and $7m in punitive damages for that charge.“We wanted to send a message,” the jury foreman, who was not named, told reporters. “If you discriminate you are going to pay a big price … You can’t defend the indefensible.”The St Louis county executive, Sam Page, said in a statement he would appoint new members to the police board.“Our police department must be a place where every community member and every officer is respected and treated with dignity. Employment decisions in the department must be made on merit and who is best for the job,” Page said.“The time for leadership changes has come and change must start at the top.”

In Argentina grains belt, farmers ready to 'unsaddle' as Peronists return

There is a saying among farmers when times are hard on the Argentine Pampas: "Unsaddle the horse until the sun comes out". This dusty soy, corn and cattle ranching town in the bread-basket province of Buenos Aires was a bastion of support for farm-friendly incumbent Mauricio Macri. Farmers "saddled up" by planting at record levels when Macri, only days into his administration, ditched the heavy handed trade controls and export limits that previous President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner had put on corn and wheat.

Trump announces grisly death of Islamic State leader Baghdadi during U.S. raid

U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday announced that Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi killed himself during a daring overnight raid by elite U.S. special operations forces in Syria, in a major victory as he fights a Democratic-led impeachment inquiry. Baghdadi died alongside three of his children by detonating an explosives-laden vest when he fled U.S. forces into a dead-end tunnel during the attack, which took place in the Idlib region in northwest Syria, the Republican president said in a televised address to the nation from the White House.
