“That must include fighting corruption, improving governance, strengthening the rule of law, increasing access to economic opportunity for all Afghans, especially for women,” Clinton said

(CBS News) At a donors conference in Tokyo over the weekend, $16 billion of aid was pledged to Afghanistan. But the U.S. is putting conditions on that assistance. Taliban claims Afghanistan bombing, which left 6 U.S. troops dead Dollars and diplomacy are Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s new focus for the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, as military engagement comes to an end. In Tokyo, Clinton said that Afghanistan’s security has to be measured by jobs and economic opportunity. On both fronts, Afghanistan is far from success. There were more than 200 coalition force deaths in 2012 and violence is increasing. Afghanistan is only capable of generating a fraction of its financial needs – its main export is still opium. That’s why much of the Tokyo conference was spent discussing how to attract private investors and 의성출장만남 cut back on corruption. Aid dollars helped educate more than eight million children and build roads and bridges; those are the success stories. Afghan president Hamid Karzai leaves Tokyo with a total of $16 billion in aid pledges to be paid through 2015. The U.S. is still Afghanistan’s top financial supporter. But Clinton says new dollars will have strings attached. She also wants private investors to put money to work in a country that still ranks as the fourth most corrupt, per Transparency International. “That must include fighting corruption, improving governance, strengthening the...

The authorities captured Daniel Elizondo, the alleged cell leader for the hyper-violent Zetas drug cartel, and pinned the atrocity on him. But he and two other suspects arrested in the case apparently haven’t offered any information that could help investigators. The army has said Elizondo claims he was given the bodies by someone else. The bodies of the 43 men and six women remain at a morgue in the industrial city of Monterrey where they’re marked “N.N.” — the Spanish initials for “No Nombre,” or No Name. They’ve also been given numbers as IDs, a state police spokeswoman said. Authorities believe the bodies were signs of yet another battle between the Zetas and their rival Gulf and Sinaloa cartels. Now it’s up to the lead investigator to decide how long the bodies will remain at the morgue before they’re wrapped in blankets and buried side by side in common graves in cemeteries throughout Monterrey’s metropolitan area, said the police spokeswoman, who would not allow her name to be used under official policy. The bodies can stay in the morgue for a maximum of four months. By custom, Mexicans usually bury their dead within 48 hours. Anguished relatives of the missing said they suffer in limbo awaiting any information about their loved ones. “When they took my son, they destroyed me,” said Maximina Hernandez, a 44-year-old maid from the Monterrey suburb of Santa Catarina whose police officer son was taken by gunmen minutes after ending a work shift in 2007. “The only thing I ask God is for some news, to know where he is. But there is no progress; there is nothing.” Hernandez has joined other people with missing relatives to push authorities to investigate the cases but said she’s been disappointed by the results so far. She said police took DNA samples from her and her son’s father but never followed up on her suspicion that her 23-year-old son’s commander was involved in his disappearance. Last year, authorities detained the police commander along with more than 40 Santa Catarina police officers for allegedly working for the Zetas. Luis Garcia, an investigator with the National Human Rights Commission, said the number of unidentified bodies continues to grow, as has the number of missing persons. The commission listed 8,898 unidentified bodies from 2000 to 2005; that number had since jumped by 80 percent as of June. The number of missing people reported in the earlier period, 5,397, has grown even more dramatically, by nearly 350 percent. No one knows exactly how many of those unidentified bodies were killed in drug-related violence or how many people are missing at the hands of cartels because such a study has never been done, Garcia said. “There needs to be an investigation in each case, to put a first and last name (on each victim) so that there is no impunity,” he said. “The issue here is that there is no effective investigation.” Government efforts to tackle the monumental problem have produced mixed results. Calderon has tried to reform and professionalize the federal police force, which has tripled in manpower to 35,000 officers, but has had little success improving local and state forces. The government proposed creating a national database with information on missing persons that could be accessed by investigators in all 32 states but is still trying to get it up and running. Crime victim relatives have long complained that requests for help are often ignored and say it’s not uncommon for them to be harassed to stop pushing for an investigation. Unlike Nuevo Leon, the majority of Mexico’s 32 states don’t even have the technology to do DNA profiles, and few investigators are trained on how to process a crime scene. In many cases, overwhelmed police have to identify dozens of bodies, dumped in abandoned mine shafts, left in the middle of busy avenues or buried in mass graves. In Durango state, authorities found five bodies in a clandestine mass grave in mid-July, raising the total of corpses unearthed in the state since April 2011 to 336, said state prosecutor Sonia de la Garza. More than 600 families have turned over DNA samples to state authorities, who have to send them to neighboring Chihuahua state for processing. Police around Durango initially were using backhoes to dig out bodies from mass graves before investigators intervened because that was destroying evidence. “The fact that so many bodies remain unidentified tells you about the enormous scale of the violence in some parts of the country where the cartels have fought each other and also ravaged the civilian population in the process,” said Andrew Selee, director of the Mexico Institute, a Washington-based think tank. The widespread corruption among Mexico’s police, particularly in small local forces, complicates identifications. As a result, many people with missing relatives don’t approach authorities out of fear of being targeted should the officers be in collusion with criminals. Hernandez said state investigators once told her they were afraid to look into the disappearance of her son, Jesus Everardo Lara Hernandez, because it was a “tough situation.” “They told me to understand them because they, too, had families.” Hernandez said. Hernandez, who has three other children, ages 7 to 14, said she was petrified when her son was taken, but her drive to find him was stronger and she began her own investigation and talked to her son’s colleagues. “It was very difficult because I stopped paying attention to my little ones to be able to look for him,” she said. “It has been a horrible five years, but the hope of finding him keeps me strong.”

Posted by | Sep 2, 2019 | |

(CBS) “American Idol” creator Simon Fuller is suing Fox, claiming he should be paid a hefty fee over the network’s newest talent competition series, “The X-Factor.” According to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, Fuller claims he negotiated an executive producer fee and credit on “The X-Factor” as part of a settlement of a 2004 copyright infringement lawsuit against former “Idol” (and upcoming “X-Factor”) judge Simon Cowell when “X-Factor” launched in the U.K. Fox, which airs “Idol” and will also air “The X-Factor” when it premieres in September, and Fremantle North America, which produces both shows, are now refusing to honor that deal, the suit alleges. “Fox and Fremantle made hundreds of millions of dollars thanks to the creative efforts of Fuller,” the suit states, according to THR. “Now, when it is time to finally perform on these unequivocal promises, Fox and Fremantle refuse to provide Fuller his executive producer credit for Defendants’ new television show, ‘The X Factor,’ and refuse to pay Fuller and executive producer fee ‘commesurate with his duties and stature in the entertainment industry.’ Defendants refusal to honor their promises made to Fuller is particularly malicious given that but for Fuller’s agreement, the ‘X Factor’ show would not be able to broadcast in the United States at all.” When Cowell launched “X-Factor,” Fuller sued, claiming the show was...
