Texas A.G.: Churches should consider armed worshipers or private security-Gabby Kaufman-Reporter-Yahoo News-November 6, 2017
After a mass shooting at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, left 26 people dead Sunday, state Attorney General Ken Paxton suggested that institutions have to decide either to allow firearms or to hire private security to defend against future carnage.“In Texas, you have to actually post, if you’re a church, telling people not to carry guns — otherwise you could carry a gun,” Paxton said on “Fox & Friends” on Monday.He continued: “I think we need to look at that, because I think we need to have churches, schools, businesses start thinking about their policies — because obviously we can’t have first responders at every location — and so they need to think about whether they want private security or whether they want to make sure that some of their own people are armed to prevent this from happening again.”Texas penal code allows property owners to post signs banning either concealed or openly carried weapons on site. It was not immediately clear if First Baptist Church, where the massacre took place, discouraged or banned congregants from bringing weapons on the property.Although two armed men did pursue the gunman, 26-year-old Devin Kelly, during his rampage, neither were attending the church at the time. It was not clear whether he was killed by them or by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.Paxton suggested even more explicitly on Sunday that churchgoers arm themselves. When asked by Fox News how to “stop this insanity,” Paxton responded, “As far as what we can do in the future, I mean, the only thing I know, because you can’t necessarily keep guns out of the hands of people who are going to violate the law.“If somebody’s willing to kill someone, they’re also going to be willing to violate a gun law,” he continued. “And all I can say is that in Texas at least we have the opportunity to have concealed carry. And so if it’s a place where somebody has the ability to carry, there’s always the opportunity that the gunman will be taken out before he has the opportunity to kill very many people.”The Sutherland Springs shooting is believed to be the deadliest shooting at a house of worship in U.S. history, and is the deadliest shooting in Texas history, the state’s Gov. Greg Abbott said Sunday. Police said the victims ranged from 18 months to 77 years old.(Yahoo News, AP)
Texas officials cite domestic situation in church shooting: 'There were threatening texts'-Dylan Stableford-Senior Editor-Yahoo News-November 6, 2017
Two women believed to be the wife and mother-in-law of the gunman who opened fire at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, on Sunday sometimes attended the church and appear to have been close to the pastor’s family, online records and social media profiles reviewed by Yahoo News show. And police revealed on Monday that the 26-year-old gunman, Devin Patrick Kelley, of New Braunfels, Texas, sent threatening texts to his mother-in-law.Officials say Kelley killed 26 people and wounded 20 others in what authorities say was the worst mass shooting in state history and the deadliest at any house of worship in U.S. history. Kelley was found dead following a high-speed chase that began after he was confronted by armed neighbors and fled the scene.According her Facebook and LinkedIn accounts, Danielle Kelley (nee Danielle Lee Shields), Devin’s wife of three years, served as a vacation Bible school teacher at First Baptist Church from 2008 until 2013. Her mother, Michelle Shields, is listed as a member of the church and is seen in several Facebook photos with Sherri Pomeroy, the wife of the church’s pastor, Frank Pomeroy, and in photos and a Facebook video with Annabelle Pomeroy, the pastor’s 14-year-old daughter, who was killed in Sunday’s massacre.Sherri and Frank Pomeroy were out of town in different states at the time of the shooting, and the service was led by a guest pastor.At a press conference Monday morning, Texas Department of Public Safety Director Freeman Martin confirmed that Devin Kelley’s mother-in-law was a member of the church, and revealed that the gunman had “expressed anger towards his mother-in-law.”“We can tell you there was a domestic situation going on within this family,” Martin said. “The suspect’s mother-in-law attended this church. We know that there were threatening texts from him.”Martin said it’s not clear whether she had previously disclosed the threatening texts to law enforcement.“This was not racially motivated,” he added. “It wasn’t over religious beliefs.”Yet the connections between the suspected gunman’s in-laws and the the First Baptist Church, and the suspect’s angry texts, offer the first clues about a motive for the shooting.In television interviews earlier Monday, Wilson County Sheriff Joe D. Tackitt Jr. said that Kelley’s in-laws weren’t at the church when the shooting occurred, but that they occasionally attended services there.“We know that his ex-in-laws or in-laws came to church here from time to time,” he said. “They were not here yesterday. So, we don’t know why he actually showed up yesterday, but we know that when he left, he left destruction.”While it’s clear the small-town congregation was the gunman’s target, Tackitt added, authorities have yet to establish a concrete motive.The Associated Press reported on Monday that Devin Kelley was discharged from the Air Force in 2014 for allegedly assaulting his spouse and child two years before.On ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott acknowledged there may have been a link between the gunman and the church, saying the public would likely be informed of such a connection “in a few days.”“I don’t think this was just a random act of violence,” Abbott said. “Law enforcement is looking very aggressively into this.”
Texas resort manager says church gunman was security guard-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-November 6, 2017
NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas — The gunman who opened fire on a Texas church recently began working as a security guard at a vacation resort near his home outside of San Antonio, a manager at the resort said Monday.Claudia Varjabedian told The Associated Press that Devin Kelley had been working at Summit Vacation Resort in New Braunfels for the past month and a half and "seemed like a nice guy." She said he worked unarmed on his shift as the day security guard and didn't give her any problems."I had no complaints. I was as shocked as anyone else," said Varjabedian.The riverside resort in the Texas Hill Country is near Kelley's apparent home off a rural highway in New Braunfels, Texas, about 35 miles (56 kilometres ) from Sutherland Springs.Kelley had a history of trouble long before he opened fire Sunday at the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, Texas, killing 26 people and wounding about 20 others.He had been discharged from the Air Force for assaulting his wife and child, according to an Air Force spokeswoman.He served 12 months' confinement after a 2012 court-martial. He ultimately received a bad conduct discharge and reduction in rank, the spokeswoman, Ann Stefanek, said Sunday.She said Kelley served in Logistics Readiness at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico from 2010 until his discharge in 2014. His job was responsible for moving passengers, cargo and personal property in military transportation.Kelley previously been charged with misdemeanour animal cruelty in east-central Colorado.Court records in El Paso County indicate Kelley was cited on Aug. 1, 2014, when he lived in a mobile home park near Colorado Springs. He was given a deferred probationary sentence and was ordered to pay $368 in restitution. The charge was dismissed in March 2016 after Kelley completed his sentence.The Denver Post reports court records indicate someone was granted a protection order against Kelley on Jan. 15, 2015, also in El Paso County.A U.S. official told the AP that Kelley doesn't appear to be linked to organized terrorist groups. The official said investigators are looking at social media posts Kelley may have made in the days before Sunday's attack, including one that appeared to show an AR-15 style semi-automatic weapon. The official requested anonymity because the person did not have authorization to speak publicly.Local records of an August traffic ticket issued in New Braunfels, Texas, for an expired registration and not having auto insurance give a birthdate that would make him 26 years old.At the address listed for Kelley in New Braunfels, sheriff's deputies were still blocking the gate to his property Monday morning. Several messages left for his relatives went unreturned.Neighbours said that they heard intense gunfire coming from the direction of the address listed for Kelley in recent days."It's really loud. At first I thought someone was blasting," said Ryan Albers, 16, who lives across the road. "It had to be coming from somewhere pretty close. It was definitely not just a shotgun or someone hunting. It was someone using automatic weapon fire."A person matching Kelley's name and date of birth also registered in 2014 to vote in Colorado, with an address listed in Colorado Springs, home of the U.S. Air Force Academy. The Colorado Secretary of State's office lists his registration now as inactive.According to Texas Department of Public Safety regional director Freeman Martin, the gunman arrived at a Valero gas station near the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs at around 11:20 a.m. Sunday. He was dressed in black, wearing tactical gear and a ballistic vest.He crossed the street to the church, left his vehicle and started firing a Ruger AR assault-type rifle at the church. Then he entered the church and fired.As he left the church, the shooter met an unidentified area resident with his own rifle who pursued him. The suspect was found dead in his vehicle near the border between Wilson and Guadalupe counties. Wilson County Sheriff Joe Tackitt said investigators believe he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.___Merchant reported from Houston. Associated Press writers Douglass K.

Trump: Texas mass shooting is about mental health, not guns-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-November 6, 2017
TOKYO — Responding to a U.S. mass shooting for the second time in six weeks, President Donald Trump said Monday that it wasn't "a guns situation" that was behind the slayings of more than two dozen worshippers at a Texas church a day earlier.As he did following last month's Las Vegas massacre of 58 people, Trump resisted any discussion of gun control during a news conference in Tokyo, where he was beginning his first presidential trip to Asia. Instead, Trump characterized the shooting as a "mental health problem at the highest level." Yet White House officials said Trump is unlikely to call for a specific policy response, as he did after last week's Islamic State group-inspired truck attack, which killed eight people in New York City.Devin Kelley, the Texas gunman, was discharged from the Air Force several years ago for assaulting his spouse and a child, the Air Force said."This was a very — based on preliminary reports — a very deranged individual. A lot of problems over a long period of time," Trump said when asked about the shooting as he and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe held a joint news conference.Trump's more muted response to gun violence contrasts with his swift call for legislative and military action following the Oct. 31 truck attack in New York City. Within hours of a rental truck ramming through a crowded bicycle path and into a school bus, Trump called for Congress to "immediately" repeal the diversity visa lottery program that suspect Sayfullo Saipov, an Uzbekistan citizen, used to enter the country in 2010. Trump also claimed that the U.S. had already stepped up its retaliation against the Islamic State group after the attack."We are hitting them 10 times harder," he said Friday.After the Las Vegas shooting, Trump and aides said it was inappropriate to consider a policy response while people were still grieving. Despite days later suggesting openness to outlawing the bump stock device that allowed Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock to fire at near-automatic rates, the Trump administration has shown no signs of urgency."He has asked that that process be reviewed, and we're waiting on some of the details of that to take place," White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Oct. 27 when asked about bump stocks. "But a decision hasn't been finalized on that. "Trump, who supported gun control before reversing his position to enter the Republican presidential primary, courted the National Rifle Association's endorsement in 2016, and earlier this year became the first president in three decades to speak at the gun group's annual convention.In February, Trump signed legislation reversing an Obama-era regulation that would have made it harder for Americans with mental illnesses to buy a gun.Under the Obama rule, the Social Security Administration would have been required to send in the names of beneficiaries with mental impairments who needed a third party to manage their financial affairs. The rule would have affected an estimated 75,000 beneficiaries who would have been added to the national background check database.The attack happened in South Texas on Sunday morning when a man dressed in black tactical-style gear and armed with an assault rifle opened fire inside a Baptist church in a small community, killing 26 people and wounding at least 16 others in the deadliest mass shooting in state history.As Kelley left the scene, authorities said, he was confronted by an armed resident. Kelley later was found dead in his vehicle.Trump said, "Fortunately somebody else had a gun that was shooting in the opposite direction, otherwise it (wouldn't) have been as bad as it was. It would have been much worse."Investigators believe Kelley shot himself.___Associated Press writers Kevin Freking, Catherine Lucey and Darlene Superville in Washington contributed to this report.Jill Colvin And Zeke Miller, The Associated Press

UK to take over Northern Ireland budget By Eric Maurice-NOV 6,17-EUOBSERVER
BRUSSELS, Today, 17:57-The UK Northern Ireland secretary was in Brussels on Monday (6 November) ahead of a new round of Brexit talks and amid a continuing political deadlock in the province.James Brokenshire said he held "positive talks" with EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier and updated MEPs about the situation in Northern Ireland, but gave few new details about his government's proposals.In Belfast, talks are going on between unionists and republicans to form a new shared government in the devolved assembly. The last one fell in January and negotiations started after elections in March.Last week, the UK government extended the deadline to reach an agreement. As well as the existing political gulf between the two largest parties - the protestant Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and the catholic Irish nationalist Sinn Fein - there is the further complication of the DUP providing support to Theresa May's minority government in the Westminster parliament in London.At an event at the European Policy Centre in Brussels, Brokenshire warned that "we have now reached the point at which it is unlikely that an executive could be formed in time to pass a budget for Northern Ireland by the end of this month."He said that he was "left with no option but to legislate at Westminster" to pass a budget for the province for next year."This would not be my budget … it would be one prepared by the Northern Ireland civil service on the basis of the previous executive's priorities," he insisted, adding that the UK government would act "with the greatest reluctance."The deadlock continues while the future of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland is one of the three main issues in the current Brexit talks.A new round of discussions will take place in Brussels this week in order to accelerate progress and allow negotiations on the future EU-UK relation to be opened in December.London published a position paper on the Irish issue in August, which the EU said was short on details.Brokenshire insisted on Monday that the paper still sets out "clearly and positively where we stand."-Integrity of UK single market-He said that London wants to "ensure" that the Good Friday peace agreement "is fully protected"; to "preserve the Common Travel Area" and "ensure that we have as frictionless and seamless a border as possible … with no physical infrastructure."The Northern Ireland secretary pointed out that the region will leave the EU single market and customs union like the rest of the UK.He noted that "Northern Ireland economy, while an integral part of the UK economy, is fully integrated with that of Ireland particularly in areas like the agri-food sector," and that his government wants to maintain cross-border circulation of goods and services between north and south of the island.He repeated the UK propositions for a "new custom partnership" under which the UK would "seek to apply a tariff equivalent to the common [EU] external tariff" and for an "alignment" on EU regulations for sectors like agri-food.But he insisted on the need to "ensure that nothing is done that undermines the integrity of the UK single market.""Of course none of this was ever going to be easy. But I believe that with a positive attitude on all sides it is achievable," he said, repeating the British demand for "creative and imaginative thinking."He added that there was "enormous international goodwill and support … including from the EU."So far, the EU has been waiting for more details about how London sees the consequences of Brexit for the island, and in particular it means to recognise that Northern Ireland has "unique circumstances."Continuing EU programmes-After his EPC speech, Brokenshire told a group of journalists that the purpose of his visit ahead of this week's talks was "about underlining some of the issues we now recognise."He said that the UK was ready to support cross-borders programmes like the EU-funded PEACE and 'interreg' (inter-regional) programmes."We may be prepared to support that, moving forward, knowing the benefits that has delivered to a number of border communities north and south, and therefore being open-minded to what may be possible," he said.Asked whether the absence of a government in Northern Ireland made the work more difficult to prepare for Brexit, Brokenshire said that his government was working "very closely" with the Northern Ireland civil service, as well as business and the voluntary community sector."I'd like to see an executive alongside making some points directly to Michel Barnier and others, but obviously that's not possible at this stage," he said.
Malta denies secrecy in 'Paradise Papers' leak By Nikolaj Nielsen-NOV 6,17-EUOBSERVER
BRUSSELS, Today, 16:46-Malta's government says the country has nothing to hide after being named among a long list of offshore entities in the latest leak from an international consortium of journalists.Its finance minister Edward Scicluna told reporters in Brussels on Monday (6 November) that all the names associated with Malta in the so-called 'Paradise Papers' were listed on a public register."There was no secrecy whatsoever," he said, while noting the push for greater transparency is needed to fight tax evasion.Speaking ahead of a eurozone finance ministers' meeting, Scicluna said many of the laws that had been agreed on at the EU level have simply yet to be implemented."It takes time to implement changes, companies need to know ahead that changes are there and they need to act accordingly," he said.The comments come in the wake of the funeral of Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, who was killed in a car bomb last month.Galizia had been probing high-level corruption and was an outspoken critic of the Valetta government.She accused the wife of Malta's prime minister Joseph Muscat of having a secret bank account. She alleged the government had been profiting on the side from a Maltese passport sale scheme.Caruana Galizia's son, who helped uncover a previous leak of tax avoidance called the Panama Papers, described the country as a "mafia state" following revelations that Muscat's chief of staff had set up offshore firms.Malta is a low-tax jurisdiction, where profits earned by companies is taxed at just five percent. Scicluna had also earlier this year spoken out against EU efforts to publish a 'black list' of tax havens.Malta is also one of the few EU states that refuses to endorse an EU-level public prosecutor, charged with probing fraud.The latest cache of leaks over the weekend show how a Malta-based firm was used by U2 frontman Bono to buy shares of a Lithuanian shopping centre.-Libyan oil-But Malta has also appeared in other probes.Earlier this year, a UN security council panel on Libyan sanctions cited front companies in Malta used to shuffle assets from the fourth son of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.The same panel had also noted tanker shipments of suspected stolen fuel ferrying back and forth from Libya and Malta.Greek authorities found that a Nigerian company had subcontracted one of the suspected tankers, which belonged to Petro Plus Limited based in Malta."Petro Plus Limited has been involved on several occasions in fuel smuggling," noted the UN report.Meanwhile, the EU commission views the Paradise Papers as an opportunity to speed up tax-avoidance reforms.Valdis Dombrovskis, the vice-president of the European Commission in charge of the euro, told reporters that the revelations behind the leaks will pile on greater pressure to fight the evasion."It puts renewed emphasis on the work which the European Commission is doing to fight tax avoidance," he told reporters.Dombrovskis demanded EU states engage to complete EU-level reforms, including an overhaul of the EU's anti-money laundering directive.National governments, such as those in Germany and the UK, have balked at tax transparency proposals that would expose the identities of people behind trusts and shell firms.Dombrovskis noted further work needs to be done on public country-by-country reporting, on digital taxation and other areas. "After all, it is all member states which are losing their tax revenue," he said.Member states have broadly revolted against greater transparency on the schemes, arguing the disclosures would violate privacy and data protection laws.But the disclosures and leaks have fed into a growing public anger amid reports of how a wealthy elite colludes with offshore law firms to then shuffle money away from national budgets.
Plante in, Coderre out: Montrealers react to their new mayor-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-November 6, 2017
After a tight race for the mayor's seat, Valérie Plante has swooped into power as the first woman to win a municipal election in Montreal's 375 years of existence.Beating out former mayor Denis Coderre, Plante, 43, swayed voters with a platform that focused on reducing traffic, improving public transit, and making the city more family friendly.Only 42.4 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot, compared to 44 per cent in the last election, according to Election Montreal.The day after the election, Montrealers are reacting to Coderre's loss and their brand-new mayor's win.'The people wanted a change' Four years under Coderre's leadership left some Montrealers hungry for change — but that didn't change the fact that, for some, Plante's victory was a surprise.Julie Browning, a LaSalle resident, had not yet heard the election results when she spoke to CBC this morning. She was surprised to hear Plante had won the race."I thought Coderre was going to win," she said, adding that this is an opportunity to see what changes can be made in the way the city is run.Little Burgundy's Yoland Cyrus said he was surprised, too."I think the people wanted a change, and we'll see if her platform does do anything for anyone, whether our taxes go up or stay down," Cyrus said."I'm hoping ... what happens [is] for the best."Trudeau, politicians offer their congratulations-A number of politicians applauded Plante on her big win, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier Philippe Couillard."I'm looking forward to working together toward our common priorities," Trudeau said on Twitter.Mélanie Joly, federal heritage minister and 2013 mayoral runner-up, also praised Plante in a tweet, as did Bloc Québécois Leader Martine Ouellet.Time to live up to campaign promises-Walter Jaszyc, who is from Côte Saint-Luc and didn't vote in the Montreal elections, said he is happy to see the first female mayor come into power."I think she's going to do a good job," Jaszyc said. "I hope some of the things that she promised are going to come true."For Cyrus, whoever won deserves the benefit of the doubt."I wish her the best of luck," he said, adding that before she was nominated as head of Projet Montréal, he had never heard of her.An opinion poll this summer found Plante was still unknown to two-thirds of Montrealers, months after she took over as leader.'Coderre was too much for himself'-During Coderre's campaign, the former mayor played up the city's flourishing economy and his efforts to combat corruption. But accusations of overspending and an arrogant personality triggered criticism from some Montrealers."I think it was maybe Coderre's attitude that kind of shook people up and they didn't like it," Browning said."Some people thought of him as arrogant, I think they thought something was worth a change."For Jaszyc, Coderre was "too much for himself." He said he thinks the former mayor overspent on the city's 375th celebrations. The total costs of the anniversary projects add up to almost $1 billion."I don't find it was worth it, and all it did … was get the merchants, the store owners, the people who really make money for Montreal, very angry."The last time a one-term incumbent was ousted in Montreal was 1960, when Sarto Fournier lost to Jean Drapeau.
Some of the fallout in Canada of the leak of the Panama Papers-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-November 6, 2017
For the second time in recent years, a massive leak of data about offshore tax havens has sent shockwaves around the world. The Paradise Papers were released on Sunday after reporting by an international collective of investigative journalists. Here's some facts about the fallout of a previous leak of a similar nature, the Panama Papers:The Canadian Revenue Agency launched audits into 122 Canadians and opened dozens of criminal investigations for tax evasion following the Panama Papers, the Toronto Star reported earlier this year. Experts say the number of investigations in offshore havens was an increase from previous years thanks to the leaked documents.———The Royal Bank of Canada was the only financial institution in the country to be linked to the massive leak. The bank's CEO vowed to comb through four decades of files to find any proof of wrongdoing. While the institution accepted responsibility for monitoring the global financial industry, they said they'd been "dragged into" the controversy without any allegations of wrongdoing.———The Canadian government pumped over $400 million dollars into the Canadian Revenue Agency to hunt down billions of missing tax dollars in the wake of the Panama Papers. A large part of those efforts were to look into offshore tax havens.———Bill Morneau, Canada's current finance minister, said he'd bring up the issue of tax evasion during an international summit and with provincial governments after the leak. The government vowed to fight tax evasion on multiple fronts. One group estimated overseas tax evasion was costing Canadian governments $8 billion a year.The Canadian Press
Bono among figures named in leak of tax-haven documents-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-November 6, 2017
LONDON — Leaked papers revealing investments in tax havens by the world's wealthy suggest U2 frontman Bono used a company based in low-tax Malta to buy part of a shopping mall in Lithuania.The Guardian newspaper said Monday that the "Paradise Papers" document trove, obtained by it and other news organizations, reveals that the singer was an investor in Maltese company Nude Estates, which bought the Ausra shopping centre in 2007.Bono's spokeswoman told the paper that the rocker, whose real name is Paul Hewson, was a "passive minority investor in Nude Estates Malta Ltd., a company that was legally registered in Malta until it was voluntarily wound up in 2015."The Irish band, well known for its poverty-fighting efforts, has faced past criticism over its tax arrangements.U2 was heavily criticized in 2006 for moving its corporate base from Ireland to the Netherlands, where royalties on music incur virtually no tax.In 2011, protesters inflated a giant balloon reading "U Pay Tax 2?" during U2's set at the Glastonbury Festival.The Ausra shopping centre is located in the town of Utena, some 100 kilometres (62 miles) north of Lithuania's capital, Vilnius. The 3,700 square-meter (40,000 square-foot) mall was built in 2006 and sold to unknown foreign investors in 2007.Its management has told reporters they were not aware Bono's involvement in the property's ownership.Tax officials in Lithuania said Monday they've started to investigate papers and documents belonging to UAB Nude Estates 2, a Lithuanian registered company owned by Nude Estates Malta Ltd. and listed as the mall's owner.Ruta Asadauskaite, spokeswoman for Lithuania's state tax inspectorate, declined to provide further details.___Liudas Dapkus in Vilnius, Lithuania, contributed to this story.The Associated Press.
Trump declares North Korea "threat to the civilized world."-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-November 6, 2017
TOKYO — Declaring that North Korea was "a threat to the civilized world," President Donald Trump vowed Monday in Japan that the United States "will not stand" for Pyongyang menacing America or its allies.Trump, in one of the Asian capitals threatened by North Korea's missiles, did not rule out military action and exhorted dictator Kim Jong Un to cease weapons testing like the missiles he has fired over Japanese territory in recent weeks. The president also denounced efforts by the Obama administration to manage Pyongyang, declaring again that "the era of strategic patience was over.""Some people say my rhetoric is very strong but look what has happened with very weak rhetoric in last 25 years," said Trump, who stood with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at a news conference and stated that North Korea imperiled "international peace and stability."Abe, who has taken a more hawkish view on North Korea than some of his predecessors, agreed with Trump's assessment that "all options on the table" when dealing with Kim Jong Un and announced new sanctions against several dozen North Korea individuals. The two men also put a face on the threat posed by the North, earlier standing with anguished families of Japanese citizens snatched by Pyongyang's agents, as Trump called their abductions "a tremendous disgrace."Trump pledged to work to return the missing to their families, intensifying the pressure on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un by elevating these heart-wrenching tales of loss to the international stage in hopes of pushing Pyongyang to end its provocative behaviour toward American allies in the region."We've just heard the very sad stories about family members — daughters, wives, brothers uncles, fathers - it's a very, very sad number of stories that we've heard," Trump said-Trump and first lady Melania Trump stood with nearly two dozen relatives, some of whom held photos of the missing. North Korea has acknowledged apprehending 13 Japanese in the 1970s and 1980s, but claims they all died or have been released. But in Japan, where grieving relatives of the abducted have become a symbol of heartbreak on the scale of American POW families, the government insists many more were taken — and that some may still be alive.Trump has delivered harsh denunciations of Kim, belittling him as "Little Rocket Man" but suggested that it would be "a tremendous signal" if North Korea returned the captives.But Trump's message on the second day of his five-country Asian tour was overshadowed by another tragic shooting back home.Trump called the Texas church shooting that claimed at least 26 lives "an act of evil," denounced the violence in "a place of sacred worship" and pledged the full support of the federal government. He said that in a time of grief "Americans will do what we do best: we pull together and join hands and lock arms and through the tears and sadness we stand strong."He later suggested that the shooter had mental health issues and waved off a question about gun control, saying of the massacre, "this isn't a guns situation."Trump and Abe repeatedly touted their bond over two days that included a round of golf, a hamburger with American beef and a couples' dinner at a teppanyaki restaurant."The relationship is really extraordinary. We like each other and our countries like each other," Trump said. "And I don't think we've ever been closer to Japan than we are right now."But disagreements on trade could strain the friendship.Trump complained Monday that Japan had been "winning" for decades and rebuked the current relationship, saying the trade deals were "not fair and not open." He told a group of American and Japanese business leaders: the United States was open for business, but he wanted to reshape the nations' trade relationship, though he did not say how he would cut the trade deficit with Japan, which totalled nearly $70 billion last year.He also downplayed the potentially contentious nature of the negotiations, though the Japanese government has not shown much appetite for striking a new bilateral trade agreement. Tokyo had pushed to preserve the Trans- Pacific Partnership, which Trump has abandoned."We will have more trade than anybody ever thought under TPP. That I can tell you," Trump said. He said the multinational agreement was not the right deal for the United States and that while "probably some of you in this room disagree ... ultimately I'll be proven to be right."Abe, for his part, publicly deflected questions about trade.The president seemed at ease in front of his CEO peers, calling out some by name, teasing that the first lady had to sell her Boeing stock once he took office and calling for Japanese automakers to make more of their cars in America, though major companies like Toyota and Nissan already build many vehicles in the United States. He promised that profits would soon rise on both sides of the Pacific once new agreements were struck."We'll have to negotiate that out and it'll be a very friendly negotiation," Trump said, suggesting it would be done "quickly" and "easily."Japan orchestrated a lavish formal welcome for the Trumps, complete with military honour guard and an audience with Japan's Emperor Akihito and his wife, Empress Michiko, at the Imperial Palace.That event, like so much formal diplomacy in Asia, is stepped in tradition, with violations of protocol potentially considered grievous offences . Trump, meanwhile, sports a spontaneous and, at times, impatient manner, on display again Monday when he and Abe took part in a traditional feeding of koi in a pond.At first, Trump followed Abe's lead by gently spooning out small amounts of feed into the pond below. But while Abe then gracefully slipped the remainder of his box into the pond below, Trump abruptly stopped and, as cameras clicked, theatrically dumped the rest of his supply down to the fish.Abe laughed.___Associated Press writer Darlene Superville in Washington contributed to this report.___Jonathan Lemire And Jill Colvin, The Associated Press.

Texas A.G.: Churches should consider armed worshipers or private security-Gabby Kaufman-Reporter-Yahoo News-November 6, 2017
After a mass shooting at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, left 26 people dead Sunday, state Attorney General Ken Paxton suggested that institutions have to decide either to allow firearms or to hire private security to defend against future carnage.“In Texas, you have to actually post, if you’re a church, telling people not to carry guns — otherwise you could carry a gun,” Paxton said on “Fox & Friends” on Monday.He continued: “I think we need to look at that, because I think we need to have churches, schools, businesses start thinking about their policies — because obviously we can’t have first responders at every location — and so they need to think about whether they want private security or whether they want to make sure that some of their own people are armed to prevent this from happening again.”Texas penal code allows property owners to post signs banning either concealed or openly carried weapons on site. It was not immediately clear if First Baptist Church, where the massacre took place, discouraged or banned congregants from bringing weapons on the property.Although two armed men did pursue the gunman, 26-year-old Devin Kelly, during his rampage, neither were attending the church at the time. It was not clear whether he was killed by them or by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.Paxton suggested even more explicitly on Sunday that churchgoers arm themselves. When asked by Fox News how to “stop this insanity,” Paxton responded, “As far as what we can do in the future, I mean, the only thing I know, because you can’t necessarily keep guns out of the hands of people who are going to violate the law.“If somebody’s willing to kill someone, they’re also going to be willing to violate a gun law,” he continued. “And all I can say is that in Texas at least we have the opportunity to have concealed carry. And so if it’s a place where somebody has the ability to carry, there’s always the opportunity that the gunman will be taken out before he has the opportunity to kill very many people.”The Sutherland Springs shooting is believed to be the deadliest shooting at a house of worship in U.S. history, and is the deadliest shooting in Texas history, the state’s Gov. Greg Abbott said Sunday. Police said the victims ranged from 18 months to 77 years old.(Yahoo News, AP)
Texas officials cite domestic situation in church shooting: 'There were threatening texts'-Dylan Stableford-Senior Editor-Yahoo News-November 6, 2017
Two women believed to be the wife and mother-in-law of the gunman who opened fire at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, on Sunday sometimes attended the church and appear to have been close to the pastor’s family, online records and social media profiles reviewed by Yahoo News show. And police revealed on Monday that the 26-year-old gunman, Devin Patrick Kelley, of New Braunfels, Texas, sent threatening texts to his mother-in-law.Officials say Kelley killed 26 people and wounded 20 others in what authorities say was the worst mass shooting in state history and the deadliest at any house of worship in U.S. history. Kelley was found dead following a high-speed chase that began after he was confronted by armed neighbors and fled the scene.According her Facebook and LinkedIn accounts, Danielle Kelley (nee Danielle Lee Shields), Devin’s wife of three years, served as a vacation Bible school teacher at First Baptist Church from 2008 until 2013. Her mother, Michelle Shields, is listed as a member of the church and is seen in several Facebook photos with Sherri Pomeroy, the wife of the church’s pastor, Frank Pomeroy, and in photos and a Facebook video with Annabelle Pomeroy, the pastor’s 14-year-old daughter, who was killed in Sunday’s massacre.Sherri and Frank Pomeroy were out of town in different states at the time of the shooting, and the service was led by a guest pastor.At a press conference Monday morning, Texas Department of Public Safety Director Freeman Martin confirmed that Devin Kelley’s mother-in-law was a member of the church, and revealed that the gunman had “expressed anger towards his mother-in-law.”“We can tell you there was a domestic situation going on within this family,” Martin said. “The suspect’s mother-in-law attended this church. We know that there were threatening texts from him.”Martin said it’s not clear whether she had previously disclosed the threatening texts to law enforcement.“This was not racially motivated,” he added. “It wasn’t over religious beliefs.”Yet the connections between the suspected gunman’s in-laws and the the First Baptist Church, and the suspect’s angry texts, offer the first clues about a motive for the shooting.In television interviews earlier Monday, Wilson County Sheriff Joe D. Tackitt Jr. said that Kelley’s in-laws weren’t at the church when the shooting occurred, but that they occasionally attended services there.“We know that his ex-in-laws or in-laws came to church here from time to time,” he said. “They were not here yesterday. So, we don’t know why he actually showed up yesterday, but we know that when he left, he left destruction.”While it’s clear the small-town congregation was the gunman’s target, Tackitt added, authorities have yet to establish a concrete motive.The Associated Press reported on Monday that Devin Kelley was discharged from the Air Force in 2014 for allegedly assaulting his spouse and child two years before.On ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott acknowledged there may have been a link between the gunman and the church, saying the public would likely be informed of such a connection “in a few days.”“I don’t think this was just a random act of violence,” Abbott said. “Law enforcement is looking very aggressively into this.”
Texas resort manager says church gunman was security guard-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-November 6, 2017
NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas — The gunman who opened fire on a Texas church recently began working as a security guard at a vacation resort near his home outside of San Antonio, a manager at the resort said Monday.Claudia Varjabedian told The Associated Press that Devin Kelley had been working at Summit Vacation Resort in New Braunfels for the past month and a half and "seemed like a nice guy." She said he worked unarmed on his shift as the day security guard and didn't give her any problems."I had no complaints. I was as shocked as anyone else," said Varjabedian.The riverside resort in the Texas Hill Country is near Kelley's apparent home off a rural highway in New Braunfels, Texas, about 35 miles (56 kilometres ) from Sutherland Springs.Kelley had a history of trouble long before he opened fire Sunday at the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, Texas, killing 26 people and wounding about 20 others.He had been discharged from the Air Force for assaulting his wife and child, according to an Air Force spokeswoman.He served 12 months' confinement after a 2012 court-martial. He ultimately received a bad conduct discharge and reduction in rank, the spokeswoman, Ann Stefanek, said Sunday.She said Kelley served in Logistics Readiness at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico from 2010 until his discharge in 2014. His job was responsible for moving passengers, cargo and personal property in military transportation.Kelley previously been charged with misdemeanour animal cruelty in east-central Colorado.Court records in El Paso County indicate Kelley was cited on Aug. 1, 2014, when he lived in a mobile home park near Colorado Springs. He was given a deferred probationary sentence and was ordered to pay $368 in restitution. The charge was dismissed in March 2016 after Kelley completed his sentence.The Denver Post reports court records indicate someone was granted a protection order against Kelley on Jan. 15, 2015, also in El Paso County.A U.S. official told the AP that Kelley doesn't appear to be linked to organized terrorist groups. The official said investigators are looking at social media posts Kelley may have made in the days before Sunday's attack, including one that appeared to show an AR-15 style semi-automatic weapon. The official requested anonymity because the person did not have authorization to speak publicly.Local records of an August traffic ticket issued in New Braunfels, Texas, for an expired registration and not having auto insurance give a birthdate that would make him 26 years old.At the address listed for Kelley in New Braunfels, sheriff's deputies were still blocking the gate to his property Monday morning. Several messages left for his relatives went unreturned.Neighbours said that they heard intense gunfire coming from the direction of the address listed for Kelley in recent days."It's really loud. At first I thought someone was blasting," said Ryan Albers, 16, who lives across the road. "It had to be coming from somewhere pretty close. It was definitely not just a shotgun or someone hunting. It was someone using automatic weapon fire."A person matching Kelley's name and date of birth also registered in 2014 to vote in Colorado, with an address listed in Colorado Springs, home of the U.S. Air Force Academy. The Colorado Secretary of State's office lists his registration now as inactive.According to Texas Department of Public Safety regional director Freeman Martin, the gunman arrived at a Valero gas station near the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs at around 11:20 a.m. Sunday. He was dressed in black, wearing tactical gear and a ballistic vest.He crossed the street to the church, left his vehicle and started firing a Ruger AR assault-type rifle at the church. Then he entered the church and fired.As he left the church, the shooter met an unidentified area resident with his own rifle who pursued him. The suspect was found dead in his vehicle near the border between Wilson and Guadalupe counties. Wilson County Sheriff Joe Tackitt said investigators believe he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.___Merchant reported from Houston. Associated Press writers Douglass K.

Trump: Texas mass shooting is about mental health, not guns-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-November 6, 2017
TOKYO — Responding to a U.S. mass shooting for the second time in six weeks, President Donald Trump said Monday that it wasn't "a guns situation" that was behind the slayings of more than two dozen worshippers at a Texas church a day earlier.As he did following last month's Las Vegas massacre of 58 people, Trump resisted any discussion of gun control during a news conference in Tokyo, where he was beginning his first presidential trip to Asia. Instead, Trump characterized the shooting as a "mental health problem at the highest level." Yet White House officials said Trump is unlikely to call for a specific policy response, as he did after last week's Islamic State group-inspired truck attack, which killed eight people in New York City.Devin Kelley, the Texas gunman, was discharged from the Air Force several years ago for assaulting his spouse and a child, the Air Force said."This was a very — based on preliminary reports — a very deranged individual. A lot of problems over a long period of time," Trump said when asked about the shooting as he and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe held a joint news conference.Trump's more muted response to gun violence contrasts with his swift call for legislative and military action following the Oct. 31 truck attack in New York City. Within hours of a rental truck ramming through a crowded bicycle path and into a school bus, Trump called for Congress to "immediately" repeal the diversity visa lottery program that suspect Sayfullo Saipov, an Uzbekistan citizen, used to enter the country in 2010. Trump also claimed that the U.S. had already stepped up its retaliation against the Islamic State group after the attack."We are hitting them 10 times harder," he said Friday.After the Las Vegas shooting, Trump and aides said it was inappropriate to consider a policy response while people were still grieving. Despite days later suggesting openness to outlawing the bump stock device that allowed Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock to fire at near-automatic rates, the Trump administration has shown no signs of urgency."He has asked that that process be reviewed, and we're waiting on some of the details of that to take place," White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Oct. 27 when asked about bump stocks. "But a decision hasn't been finalized on that. "Trump, who supported gun control before reversing his position to enter the Republican presidential primary, courted the National Rifle Association's endorsement in 2016, and earlier this year became the first president in three decades to speak at the gun group's annual convention.In February, Trump signed legislation reversing an Obama-era regulation that would have made it harder for Americans with mental illnesses to buy a gun.Under the Obama rule, the Social Security Administration would have been required to send in the names of beneficiaries with mental impairments who needed a third party to manage their financial affairs. The rule would have affected an estimated 75,000 beneficiaries who would have been added to the national background check database.The attack happened in South Texas on Sunday morning when a man dressed in black tactical-style gear and armed with an assault rifle opened fire inside a Baptist church in a small community, killing 26 people and wounding at least 16 others in the deadliest mass shooting in state history.As Kelley left the scene, authorities said, he was confronted by an armed resident. Kelley later was found dead in his vehicle.Trump said, "Fortunately somebody else had a gun that was shooting in the opposite direction, otherwise it (wouldn't) have been as bad as it was. It would have been much worse."Investigators believe Kelley shot himself.___Associated Press writers Kevin Freking, Catherine Lucey and Darlene Superville in Washington contributed to this report.Jill Colvin And Zeke Miller, The Associated Press

UK to take over Northern Ireland budget By Eric Maurice-NOV 6,17-EUOBSERVER
BRUSSELS, Today, 17:57-The UK Northern Ireland secretary was in Brussels on Monday (6 November) ahead of a new round of Brexit talks and amid a continuing political deadlock in the province.James Brokenshire said he held "positive talks" with EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier and updated MEPs about the situation in Northern Ireland, but gave few new details about his government's proposals.In Belfast, talks are going on between unionists and republicans to form a new shared government in the devolved assembly. The last one fell in January and negotiations started after elections in March.Last week, the UK government extended the deadline to reach an agreement. As well as the existing political gulf between the two largest parties - the protestant Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and the catholic Irish nationalist Sinn Fein - there is the further complication of the DUP providing support to Theresa May's minority government in the Westminster parliament in London.At an event at the European Policy Centre in Brussels, Brokenshire warned that "we have now reached the point at which it is unlikely that an executive could be formed in time to pass a budget for Northern Ireland by the end of this month."He said that he was "left with no option but to legislate at Westminster" to pass a budget for the province for next year."This would not be my budget … it would be one prepared by the Northern Ireland civil service on the basis of the previous executive's priorities," he insisted, adding that the UK government would act "with the greatest reluctance."The deadlock continues while the future of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland is one of the three main issues in the current Brexit talks.A new round of discussions will take place in Brussels this week in order to accelerate progress and allow negotiations on the future EU-UK relation to be opened in December.London published a position paper on the Irish issue in August, which the EU said was short on details.Brokenshire insisted on Monday that the paper still sets out "clearly and positively where we stand."-Integrity of UK single market-He said that London wants to "ensure" that the Good Friday peace agreement "is fully protected"; to "preserve the Common Travel Area" and "ensure that we have as frictionless and seamless a border as possible … with no physical infrastructure."The Northern Ireland secretary pointed out that the region will leave the EU single market and customs union like the rest of the UK.He noted that "Northern Ireland economy, while an integral part of the UK economy, is fully integrated with that of Ireland particularly in areas like the agri-food sector," and that his government wants to maintain cross-border circulation of goods and services between north and south of the island.He repeated the UK propositions for a "new custom partnership" under which the UK would "seek to apply a tariff equivalent to the common [EU] external tariff" and for an "alignment" on EU regulations for sectors like agri-food.But he insisted on the need to "ensure that nothing is done that undermines the integrity of the UK single market.""Of course none of this was ever going to be easy. But I believe that with a positive attitude on all sides it is achievable," he said, repeating the British demand for "creative and imaginative thinking."He added that there was "enormous international goodwill and support … including from the EU."So far, the EU has been waiting for more details about how London sees the consequences of Brexit for the island, and in particular it means to recognise that Northern Ireland has "unique circumstances."Continuing EU programmes-After his EPC speech, Brokenshire told a group of journalists that the purpose of his visit ahead of this week's talks was "about underlining some of the issues we now recognise."He said that the UK was ready to support cross-borders programmes like the EU-funded PEACE and 'interreg' (inter-regional) programmes."We may be prepared to support that, moving forward, knowing the benefits that has delivered to a number of border communities north and south, and therefore being open-minded to what may be possible," he said.Asked whether the absence of a government in Northern Ireland made the work more difficult to prepare for Brexit, Brokenshire said that his government was working "very closely" with the Northern Ireland civil service, as well as business and the voluntary community sector."I'd like to see an executive alongside making some points directly to Michel Barnier and others, but obviously that's not possible at this stage," he said.
Malta denies secrecy in 'Paradise Papers' leak By Nikolaj Nielsen-NOV 6,17-EUOBSERVER
BRUSSELS, Today, 16:46-Malta's government says the country has nothing to hide after being named among a long list of offshore entities in the latest leak from an international consortium of journalists.Its finance minister Edward Scicluna told reporters in Brussels on Monday (6 November) that all the names associated with Malta in the so-called 'Paradise Papers' were listed on a public register."There was no secrecy whatsoever," he said, while noting the push for greater transparency is needed to fight tax evasion.Speaking ahead of a eurozone finance ministers' meeting, Scicluna said many of the laws that had been agreed on at the EU level have simply yet to be implemented."It takes time to implement changes, companies need to know ahead that changes are there and they need to act accordingly," he said.The comments come in the wake of the funeral of Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, who was killed in a car bomb last month.Galizia had been probing high-level corruption and was an outspoken critic of the Valetta government.She accused the wife of Malta's prime minister Joseph Muscat of having a secret bank account. She alleged the government had been profiting on the side from a Maltese passport sale scheme.Caruana Galizia's son, who helped uncover a previous leak of tax avoidance called the Panama Papers, described the country as a "mafia state" following revelations that Muscat's chief of staff had set up offshore firms.Malta is a low-tax jurisdiction, where profits earned by companies is taxed at just five percent. Scicluna had also earlier this year spoken out against EU efforts to publish a 'black list' of tax havens.Malta is also one of the few EU states that refuses to endorse an EU-level public prosecutor, charged with probing fraud.The latest cache of leaks over the weekend show how a Malta-based firm was used by U2 frontman Bono to buy shares of a Lithuanian shopping centre.-Libyan oil-But Malta has also appeared in other probes.Earlier this year, a UN security council panel on Libyan sanctions cited front companies in Malta used to shuffle assets from the fourth son of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.The same panel had also noted tanker shipments of suspected stolen fuel ferrying back and forth from Libya and Malta.Greek authorities found that a Nigerian company had subcontracted one of the suspected tankers, which belonged to Petro Plus Limited based in Malta."Petro Plus Limited has been involved on several occasions in fuel smuggling," noted the UN report.Meanwhile, the EU commission views the Paradise Papers as an opportunity to speed up tax-avoidance reforms.Valdis Dombrovskis, the vice-president of the European Commission in charge of the euro, told reporters that the revelations behind the leaks will pile on greater pressure to fight the evasion."It puts renewed emphasis on the work which the European Commission is doing to fight tax avoidance," he told reporters.Dombrovskis demanded EU states engage to complete EU-level reforms, including an overhaul of the EU's anti-money laundering directive.National governments, such as those in Germany and the UK, have balked at tax transparency proposals that would expose the identities of people behind trusts and shell firms.Dombrovskis noted further work needs to be done on public country-by-country reporting, on digital taxation and other areas. "After all, it is all member states which are losing their tax revenue," he said.Member states have broadly revolted against greater transparency on the schemes, arguing the disclosures would violate privacy and data protection laws.But the disclosures and leaks have fed into a growing public anger amid reports of how a wealthy elite colludes with offshore law firms to then shuffle money away from national budgets.
Plante in, Coderre out: Montrealers react to their new mayor-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-November 6, 2017
After a tight race for the mayor's seat, Valérie Plante has swooped into power as the first woman to win a municipal election in Montreal's 375 years of existence.Beating out former mayor Denis Coderre, Plante, 43, swayed voters with a platform that focused on reducing traffic, improving public transit, and making the city more family friendly.Only 42.4 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot, compared to 44 per cent in the last election, according to Election Montreal.The day after the election, Montrealers are reacting to Coderre's loss and their brand-new mayor's win.'The people wanted a change' Four years under Coderre's leadership left some Montrealers hungry for change — but that didn't change the fact that, for some, Plante's victory was a surprise.Julie Browning, a LaSalle resident, had not yet heard the election results when she spoke to CBC this morning. She was surprised to hear Plante had won the race."I thought Coderre was going to win," she said, adding that this is an opportunity to see what changes can be made in the way the city is run.Little Burgundy's Yoland Cyrus said he was surprised, too."I think the people wanted a change, and we'll see if her platform does do anything for anyone, whether our taxes go up or stay down," Cyrus said."I'm hoping ... what happens [is] for the best."Trudeau, politicians offer their congratulations-A number of politicians applauded Plante on her big win, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier Philippe Couillard."I'm looking forward to working together toward our common priorities," Trudeau said on Twitter.Mélanie Joly, federal heritage minister and 2013 mayoral runner-up, also praised Plante in a tweet, as did Bloc Québécois Leader Martine Ouellet.Time to live up to campaign promises-Walter Jaszyc, who is from Côte Saint-Luc and didn't vote in the Montreal elections, said he is happy to see the first female mayor come into power."I think she's going to do a good job," Jaszyc said. "I hope some of the things that she promised are going to come true."For Cyrus, whoever won deserves the benefit of the doubt."I wish her the best of luck," he said, adding that before she was nominated as head of Projet Montréal, he had never heard of her.An opinion poll this summer found Plante was still unknown to two-thirds of Montrealers, months after she took over as leader.'Coderre was too much for himself'-During Coderre's campaign, the former mayor played up the city's flourishing economy and his efforts to combat corruption. But accusations of overspending and an arrogant personality triggered criticism from some Montrealers."I think it was maybe Coderre's attitude that kind of shook people up and they didn't like it," Browning said."Some people thought of him as arrogant, I think they thought something was worth a change."For Jaszyc, Coderre was "too much for himself." He said he thinks the former mayor overspent on the city's 375th celebrations. The total costs of the anniversary projects add up to almost $1 billion."I don't find it was worth it, and all it did … was get the merchants, the store owners, the people who really make money for Montreal, very angry."The last time a one-term incumbent was ousted in Montreal was 1960, when Sarto Fournier lost to Jean Drapeau.
Some of the fallout in Canada of the leak of the Panama Papers-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-November 6, 2017
For the second time in recent years, a massive leak of data about offshore tax havens has sent shockwaves around the world. The Paradise Papers were released on Sunday after reporting by an international collective of investigative journalists. Here's some facts about the fallout of a previous leak of a similar nature, the Panama Papers:The Canadian Revenue Agency launched audits into 122 Canadians and opened dozens of criminal investigations for tax evasion following the Panama Papers, the Toronto Star reported earlier this year. Experts say the number of investigations in offshore havens was an increase from previous years thanks to the leaked documents.———The Royal Bank of Canada was the only financial institution in the country to be linked to the massive leak. The bank's CEO vowed to comb through four decades of files to find any proof of wrongdoing. While the institution accepted responsibility for monitoring the global financial industry, they said they'd been "dragged into" the controversy without any allegations of wrongdoing.———The Canadian government pumped over $400 million dollars into the Canadian Revenue Agency to hunt down billions of missing tax dollars in the wake of the Panama Papers. A large part of those efforts were to look into offshore tax havens.———Bill Morneau, Canada's current finance minister, said he'd bring up the issue of tax evasion during an international summit and with provincial governments after the leak. The government vowed to fight tax evasion on multiple fronts. One group estimated overseas tax evasion was costing Canadian governments $8 billion a year.The Canadian Press
Bono among figures named in leak of tax-haven documents-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-November 6, 2017
LONDON — Leaked papers revealing investments in tax havens by the world's wealthy suggest U2 frontman Bono used a company based in low-tax Malta to buy part of a shopping mall in Lithuania.The Guardian newspaper said Monday that the "Paradise Papers" document trove, obtained by it and other news organizations, reveals that the singer was an investor in Maltese company Nude Estates, which bought the Ausra shopping centre in 2007.Bono's spokeswoman told the paper that the rocker, whose real name is Paul Hewson, was a "passive minority investor in Nude Estates Malta Ltd., a company that was legally registered in Malta until it was voluntarily wound up in 2015."The Irish band, well known for its poverty-fighting efforts, has faced past criticism over its tax arrangements.U2 was heavily criticized in 2006 for moving its corporate base from Ireland to the Netherlands, where royalties on music incur virtually no tax.In 2011, protesters inflated a giant balloon reading "U Pay Tax 2?" during U2's set at the Glastonbury Festival.The Ausra shopping centre is located in the town of Utena, some 100 kilometres (62 miles) north of Lithuania's capital, Vilnius. The 3,700 square-meter (40,000 square-foot) mall was built in 2006 and sold to unknown foreign investors in 2007.Its management has told reporters they were not aware Bono's involvement in the property's ownership.Tax officials in Lithuania said Monday they've started to investigate papers and documents belonging to UAB Nude Estates 2, a Lithuanian registered company owned by Nude Estates Malta Ltd. and listed as the mall's owner.Ruta Asadauskaite, spokeswoman for Lithuania's state tax inspectorate, declined to provide further details.___Liudas Dapkus in Vilnius, Lithuania, contributed to this story.The Associated Press.
Trump declares North Korea "threat to the civilized world."-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-November 6, 2017
TOKYO — Declaring that North Korea was "a threat to the civilized world," President Donald Trump vowed Monday in Japan that the United States "will not stand" for Pyongyang menacing America or its allies.Trump, in one of the Asian capitals threatened by North Korea's missiles, did not rule out military action and exhorted dictator Kim Jong Un to cease weapons testing like the missiles he has fired over Japanese territory in recent weeks. The president also denounced efforts by the Obama administration to manage Pyongyang, declaring again that "the era of strategic patience was over.""Some people say my rhetoric is very strong but look what has happened with very weak rhetoric in last 25 years," said Trump, who stood with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at a news conference and stated that North Korea imperiled "international peace and stability."Abe, who has taken a more hawkish view on North Korea than some of his predecessors, agreed with Trump's assessment that "all options on the table" when dealing with Kim Jong Un and announced new sanctions against several dozen North Korea individuals. The two men also put a face on the threat posed by the North, earlier standing with anguished families of Japanese citizens snatched by Pyongyang's agents, as Trump called their abductions "a tremendous disgrace."Trump pledged to work to return the missing to their families, intensifying the pressure on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un by elevating these heart-wrenching tales of loss to the international stage in hopes of pushing Pyongyang to end its provocative behaviour toward American allies in the region."We've just heard the very sad stories about family members — daughters, wives, brothers uncles, fathers - it's a very, very sad number of stories that we've heard," Trump said-Trump and first lady Melania Trump stood with nearly two dozen relatives, some of whom held photos of the missing. North Korea has acknowledged apprehending 13 Japanese in the 1970s and 1980s, but claims they all died or have been released. But in Japan, where grieving relatives of the abducted have become a symbol of heartbreak on the scale of American POW families, the government insists many more were taken — and that some may still be alive.Trump has delivered harsh denunciations of Kim, belittling him as "Little Rocket Man" but suggested that it would be "a tremendous signal" if North Korea returned the captives.But Trump's message on the second day of his five-country Asian tour was overshadowed by another tragic shooting back home.Trump called the Texas church shooting that claimed at least 26 lives "an act of evil," denounced the violence in "a place of sacred worship" and pledged the full support of the federal government. He said that in a time of grief "Americans will do what we do best: we pull together and join hands and lock arms and through the tears and sadness we stand strong."He later suggested that the shooter had mental health issues and waved off a question about gun control, saying of the massacre, "this isn't a guns situation."Trump and Abe repeatedly touted their bond over two days that included a round of golf, a hamburger with American beef and a couples' dinner at a teppanyaki restaurant."The relationship is really extraordinary. We like each other and our countries like each other," Trump said. "And I don't think we've ever been closer to Japan than we are right now."But disagreements on trade could strain the friendship.Trump complained Monday that Japan had been "winning" for decades and rebuked the current relationship, saying the trade deals were "not fair and not open." He told a group of American and Japanese business leaders: the United States was open for business, but he wanted to reshape the nations' trade relationship, though he did not say how he would cut the trade deficit with Japan, which totalled nearly $70 billion last year.He also downplayed the potentially contentious nature of the negotiations, though the Japanese government has not shown much appetite for striking a new bilateral trade agreement. Tokyo had pushed to preserve the Trans- Pacific Partnership, which Trump has abandoned."We will have more trade than anybody ever thought under TPP. That I can tell you," Trump said. He said the multinational agreement was not the right deal for the United States and that while "probably some of you in this room disagree ... ultimately I'll be proven to be right."Abe, for his part, publicly deflected questions about trade.The president seemed at ease in front of his CEO peers, calling out some by name, teasing that the first lady had to sell her Boeing stock once he took office and calling for Japanese automakers to make more of their cars in America, though major companies like Toyota and Nissan already build many vehicles in the United States. He promised that profits would soon rise on both sides of the Pacific once new agreements were struck."We'll have to negotiate that out and it'll be a very friendly negotiation," Trump said, suggesting it would be done "quickly" and "easily."Japan orchestrated a lavish formal welcome for the Trumps, complete with military honour guard and an audience with Japan's Emperor Akihito and his wife, Empress Michiko, at the Imperial Palace.That event, like so much formal diplomacy in Asia, is stepped in tradition, with violations of protocol potentially considered grievous offences . Trump, meanwhile, sports a spontaneous and, at times, impatient manner, on display again Monday when he and Abe took part in a traditional feeding of koi in a pond.At first, Trump followed Abe's lead by gently spooning out small amounts of feed into the pond below. But while Abe then gracefully slipped the remainder of his box into the pond below, Trump abruptly stopped and, as cameras clicked, theatrically dumped the rest of his supply down to the fish.Abe laughed.___Associated Press writer Darlene Superville in Washington contributed to this report.___Jonathan Lemire And Jill Colvin, The Associated Press.
