Nine People Shot in Minneapolis Amid Spate of Violence following George Floyd Killing

Posted: 17 Jun 2020 04:35 PM PDT

Nine People Shot in Minneapolis Amid Spate of Violence following George Floyd KillingNine people were shot in Minneapolis on Tuesday evening amid a spate of violence following the death of George Floyd during arrest, the Star Tribune reported.Shootings have risen sharply in the city over three weeks of unrest after Floyd, an African American man, was killed during arrest by Minneapolis police officers. Since May 26, 66 people have been shot in the city, comprising 45 percent of all shooting victims in Minneapolis for this year.The Tuesday shootings follow an incident on Sunday in which seven people were shot during a bar fight. One of the victims of the bar shooting has since died. No arrests have been made in any of the recent shootings.It does not appear that the shootings are connected to protests over Floyd's death. Those protests turned violent in some instances, with rioters setting fire to Minneapolis's third police precinct building as well as numerous businesses.The Minneapolis City Council has estimated that damages to buildings from the riots amount to at least $55 million. However, the council warned that the damages could be much higher, and Mayor Jacob Frey has said damages could reach "hundreds of millions of dollars."Floyd's death has driven calls by Black Lives Matter activists to defund police departments. Representative Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), whose district encompasses Minneapolis, has supported calls to defund the Minneapolis police, calling the department "beyond repair." Mayor Frey has resisted the push to dismantle the city's police department, although the Minneapolis City Council has signed a pledge to dismantle the department.

Kellyanne Conway says 'peacefully protesting' outside shows people can attend a MAGA rally indoorsTeam Trump is showing no signs of cancelling or delaying Donald Trump's planned Saturday return to the campaign rallies he so cherishes, even as Covid-19 cases climb in Tulsa, because outside protests show an indoor rally can be safe.Donald Trump is slated to address supporters for the first time since March inside the Oklahoma city's BOK Center, a multipurpose arena that seats around 19,000 people. The president and his campaign team say they have received between 800,000 and 1m requests for tickets – even though the respiratory disease that has claimed at least 117,000 lives inside the United States is spreading in Tulsa County.

Should we be worried about the Beijing coronavirus outbreak?

Posted: 17 Jun 2020 02:05 AM PDT

Should we be worried about the Beijing coronavirus outbreak?China's latest cluster outbreak in Beijing, at 137 cases over the last six days, is the worst resurgence of the coronavirus since early February. It came as a bit of a surprise, ending a nearly two-month streak of zero cases in the country's capital. Authorities have taken no chances, immediately moving to institute partial lockdowns by quarantining housing compounds with infections, halting outbound transport links, and closing schools – again. Public transport within the city is enforcing social distancing measures, cutting capacity by as much as half to allow passengers more space. In Beijing, life is being disrupted only about a week after containment measures were finally relaxed and residents were just beginning to get excited about spending summer with greater mobility. Dining al fresco and riding a bike seemed novel concepts after months of being shuttered indoors.

North Korea rejects South's offer to send envoys

North Korea rejects South's offer to send envoys

North Korea rejected South Korea's offer to send special envoys to ease escalating tensions on Wednesday and instead vowed to redeploy troops to the border.

This comes a day after North Korea blew up a joint liason office in its border town Kaesong. South Korea Army chief Jeon Dong Jin on Wednesday urged the North to halt any action that would further worsen the situation:

"(Such a move) immediately thwarts the efforts and achievements made by the two Koreas to maintain peace on the Korean peninsula, and the North will surely pay if these measures are put into action."

The attack marks a major setback to South Korea's efforts to foster reconciliation with the North.

The demolished office was set up as part of a 2018 peace agreement by the two countries' leaders.

A South Korean spokesman said Wednesday the trust built by the two leaders had been damaged by comments made by Kim Jong Un's sister Kim Yo Jong on state media KCNA.

She said South Korean leader Moon Jae In had failed to implement any part of the 2018 pact between the two countries and quote "put his neck into the noose of pro-U.S. flunkeyism."

But on the streets in South Korea's capital, business continued as normal, and locals seemed unfazed by the attack:

"It's just their way of maintaining power. I don't think they will actually go the distance. I might as well just do my job, because I don't think a war will break out."

Others were more cautious:

"If we shut the door just because North Korea is being extreme, they can react in even more extreme ways, and I think the damage will come to us."

The attack followed through on threats made earlier from the North that they would retaliate if defector groups in the South continued to send food, propaganda leaflets, and messages critical of leader Kim Jong Un.

Seoul has tried to stop the actions of defector groups in the past week, and vowed to take legal action against them, arguing their actions actually fuel tensions between the two sides.

Sen. Tim Scott Declares ‘We Are Not a Racist Country,’ Argues Dems’ Focus on Race Obstructs Police Reform

Posted: 17 Jun 2020 11:13 AM PDT

Sen. Tim Scott Declares 'We Are Not a Racist Country,' Argues Dems' Focus on Race Obstructs Police ReformWhile unveiling the Republican police reform bill on Wednesday, Senator Tim Scott said that the U.S. is "not a racist country" and criticized Democrats for what he saw as their relentless focus on race, advocating a discrete approach to policy solutions designed to address police brutality.Scott, the Senate's only black Republican, remarked in a press conference held to unveil the legislation that "some people enjoy talking about systemic racism" and "want to define everything from a racist perspective.""We don't spend time on the definition of a word, but we spend time on the definition of the problem and the definition of the solution," the South Carolina senator said, adding that Americans are often given the "false, binary choice" of backing either black Americans or law enforcement."I don't know how to tell people the nation is not racist. I'll try again: we are not a racist country," Scott said. "We deal with racism because there is racism in the country. Both are true, not mutually exclusive."The GOP police-reform bill, dubbed the Justice Act, would provide incentives for police departments to ban choke holds, strengthen reporting requirements for departments to disclose when an officer's use of force results in death or serious injury, fund more police body cameras, and mandate that the Justice Department come up with guidelines for deescalating police encounters, among other reforms. The bill also makes lynching a federal hate crime and establishes a commission to examine the social situation of black men and boys in the country."I don't worry about the definitions that people want to use, it's good for headlines, but it's really bad for policy. We're going to focus on getting something done," Scott concluded at the press conference.President Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday encouraging police officers to limit the use of deadly force in the line of duty. The order detailed the administration's initiatives to encourage high standards for use of force, track officer misconduct, and bring in social workers and mental health professionals when responding to certain emergency calls.Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell promised Wednesday to take up the Republican bill quickly and encouraged Democrats to lend it their support. Democrats in both legislative chambers have meanwhile criticized the GOP bill, saying it does not include enough reforms for them to back it. House Democrats have introduced a separate police reform bill that McConnell said he will not bring to the floor should it reach the Senate.

Oklahoma coronavirus rate surges as Trump rally nears

Posted: 16 Jun 2020 02:11 PM PDT

Oklahoma coronavirus rate surges as Trump rally nears* State confirmed 591 new cases on Monday, a 7.7% increase * Vice-president will attend Saturday's election rally in TulsaShortly after the Trump campaign again insisted its first campaign rally since March would go ahead in Tulsa this weekend, it was reported that Oklahoma confirmed 591 new coronavirus cases on Monday, a 7.7% increase and the highest in the US.The news, reported by Yahoo and citing an internal document from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), came after Mike Pence, who will attend the rally, falsely claimed that "in a very real sense" Oklahoma had "flattened the curve" of new Covid-19 infections."Today their hospital capacity is abundant," said the vice-president, who leads the White House coronavirus taskforce, at a cabinet meeting on Monday. "The number of cases in Oklahoma has declined precipitously and we feel very confident going forward with the rally this coming weekend."That is not true. Nor was it true when Pence said it.On Saturday, Oklahoma reported its then highest daily total of new cases, 225, since the pandemic began. On Sunday, Tulsa county reported its largest single-day increase since early March. On Monday, state statistics showed the seven-day rolling average for new cases in Tulsa was 65, up on a previous peak of 26 in early April.Before news of the CDC figures on Tuesday, researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland recorded 8,417 total cases in Oklahoma and 359 deaths.According to Johns Hopkins, the US has recorded more than 2.1m cases of Covid-19, and more than 116,000 deaths.One closely watched national model now predicts more than 200,000 deaths by October.Ali Mokdad, a creator of the model at the University of Washington, said: "Increased mobility and premature relaxation of social distancing led to more infections, and we see it in Florida, Arizona and other states."This means more projected deaths."The Republican party has abruptly moved the main events of its August national convention from North Carolina to Florida, because of the prospect of fewer coronavirus-related restrictions there.But Florida has seen four days in the last six of record levels of new Covid-19 infections.Meanwhile Oklahoma is among states which have reopened since late May. The Trump rally in Tulsa will be a showpiece event as the administration seeks to reopen an economy battered by the outbreak.Speaking to Fox News on Tuesday, Pence said: "We've had such an overwhelming response that we're also looking at another venue, we're also looking at outside activities. And I know the campaign team will keep the public informed as that goes forward."The Trump campaign clarified that Pence did not mean the rally might be switched from the indoor BOK Center in an attempt to mitigate possible coronavirus spread, but was instead indicating extra venues to meet demand.Attendees must sign a waiver, clearing the campaign of responsibility should they contract coronavirus.Tulsa's chief public health officer and the Tulsa World newspaper have urged Trump to cancel the rally.The event has already been moved back a day to avoid a clash with Juneteenth, the day when African Americans celebrate the end of slavery, during nationwide protests over police brutality and racism.On Monday Bruce Dart, Tulsa's chief public health officer, told the World: "I want people to be safe, and it hurts my heart to think that there's a potential that we're going to have something here where people become exposed to an illness. We've seen how devastating it's been across the board in this country, and I don't want it to happen to anybody here."Trump, meanwhile, claimed "Almost One Million people request tickets". The BOK Center venue holds 19,000. A convention center nearby will extend capacity to around 62,000. Brad Parscale, campaign manager, perhaps indicated the true purpose of the promotional effort when he heralded the "biggest data haul and rally signup of all time by 10x".On Monday, as reports circulated of donors in New Jersey being stringently tested before being ushered into Trump's presence, Parscale said of the rally: "Before entering each guest will get: Temperature check, Hand sanitizer, Mask."But use of the masks and attempt to socially distance will reportedly be optional.Public health experts including Dr Anthony Fauci say the US may avoid a second wave of the virus if people take precautions including wearing masks and maintaining social distancing rules. Trump has refused to wear a mask in public.Oklahoma's Republican governor, Kevin Stitt, backs the president's visit and attributes rising cases in his state to increased testing."It is in the United States. It is in Oklahoma," Stitt said on Monday. "And we can't let [coronavirus] dictate our lives. We have to go about our lives, but we are going to do it with every precaution possible."And at the White House, Trump said: "If we stop testing right now we'd have very few cases, if any."

Former Head of Diversity: ‘Black Lives Did Not Matter at Morgan Stanley’

Posted: 17 Jun 2020 05:13 AM PDT

Former Head of Diversity: 'Black Lives Did Not Matter at Morgan Stanley'The investment bank Morgan Stanley is being sued by its former head of diversity, who claims its senior, "white male-centric leadership" refused to adopt her plan to address racial bias at the firm, and instead fired her in December.Marilyn Booker headed diversity at Morgan Stanley from 1994 to 2010 before taking on a project known as the Urban Markets Group, which sought to promote money management in inner cities by connecting minority financial advisers to minority communities.However the program was rendered ineffective after it was steadily stripped of its budget, with 71 per cent of its budget being removed by 2019, Booker said in a lawsuit filed on Tuesday and reported by the Financial Times, Fortune and other outlets. Booker said in her 47-page complaint that "her budget would not amount to a drop in the bucket for Morgan Stanley when compared to the money it threw at other initiatives and the massive revenue the firm generated."Booker argued in court documents that the initiative was needed because only about 100 of Morgan Stanley's 16,000 financial advisers are Black.Morgan Stanley's latest published disclosures on diversity show that 2.2 per cent of its most senior executives in the U.S. were Black or African-American, the second lowest representation recorded by any of the big five U.S. banks.Booker's complaint firmly painted the alleged discrimination as hypocritical in the context of Morgan Stanley's response to George Floyd's death, in the he wake of which the bank made a large contribution to the NAACP Legal Defense & Education Fund and promoted two Black women to senior leadership committees. Booker noted that CEO James Gorman had described the present moment as a "turning point in race relations."However Booker said the bank's actions told a different story, saying: "Clearly, Black lives did not matter at Morgan Stanley."Morgan Stanley told the FT it strongly rejected the allegations and intended to vigorously defend itself, adding that Booker was let go as part of a round of 1,500 lay-offs late last year.It said: "We are steadfast in our commitment to improve the diversity of our employees and have made steady progress — while recognizing that we have further progress to make. We will continue to advance our high-priority efforts to achieve a more diverse and inclusive firm."Booker is seeking unspecified financial damages.Booker also claims Morgan Stanley nixed her efforts to recruit a Black National Basketball Association player as a spokesperson and later signed up white golfer Justin Rose instead."It goes without saying that Mr Rose was believed to be better recognized among the community of White male affluent golf aficionados, and not most members of the Black and minority communities," she added."Morgan Stanley has had decades to get its house in order and improve its record on diversity and inclusion," Booker's lawyer Jeanne M Christensen, a partner at Wigdortod the FT. "No more excuses. The numbers speak for themselves and Morgan Stanley must be held accountable for looking the other way."Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.
