“The press should be ashamed of themselves,”
a defensive Trump railed during a Tuesday news
conference at Trump Tower, called to announce a
list of 41 charities that received a cut of the money
he raised during a highly publicized January
fundraiser.
The presumptive Republican presidential
nominee had previously declined to disclose which
charities had received the $6 million he’d claimed
to have raised, and his campaign had gone back
and forth about how much pledged money had
come through. The Washington Post had pressed
for an accounting of the donations, and several
charities said they received checks just last week.
Throughout
Tuesday’s
40-minute
question-and-answer session, Trump accused the
media of being “unbelievably dishonest” in their
treatment of him.

Toronto-area police force suspends
Twitter account after being hacked
B
RAMPTON, Ont. - A
Toronto-area
police
force says its Twitter account was hacked Monday
night and had to be temporarily shut down.
Insp. Dan Richardson of
Peel Regional police tweeted around 9 p.m. that the
force’s main account had
been hacked.
He tweeted about an
hour later that police had
“regained control” of the
account and would be reactivating it Tuesday.

Turkey counts cost of conflict as Kurdish
militant battle rages on
It had not been restored
as of 9:30 a.m. Photos posted online showed the account tweeting profanities
and racial slurs on Monday
night before it was suspended.
“The posts that were

Police,” the force said in a
statement.
“We apologize for this
inconvenience and we are
investigating this incident.”
I
STANBUL (Reuters) - Turkey’s conflict with Kurdish
militants, said to have killed
more than 5,000 people since
July, has also destroyed at least
6,000 buildings that will cost
approaching 1 billion lira ($340
million) to rebuild, according to a
government estimate.
Large swathes of towns in
the mainly Kurdish southeast
have been devastated by daily
shelling, blasts and gunfire in battles that are still raging, even as
President Tayyip Erdogan says the
Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) is
in its “death throes”.
Turkish warplanes struck
overnight at PKK gun positions
and shelters in Semdinli by the
border with Iraq and Iran, the
army said. The fighting, at its most
intense in two decades, resumed
after a two-year-old ceasefire
collapsed last July.
A day earlier, roadside bombs
killed at least six people in
two attacks on security forces
in the southeast. Air strikes in
northern Iraq’s Metina area have
killed 14 PKK fighters since last
Wednesday, the army said.
Apoyo a presidenta chilena vuelve al nivel más bajo
de su segundo mandato: sondeo
ANTIAGO, 31 mayo (Reuters) - La aprobación a la
gestión de la presidenta de Chile, Michelle Bachelet,
cayó nuevamente al menor nivel de su segundo mandato,
en momentos en que su Gobierno debe hacer frente a
conflictos sociales con pescadores del sur del país y a
nuevas acciones del movimiento estudiantil, mostró el
martes un sondeo privado.
La encuestadora Gfk Adimark explicó que el apoyo
a la mandataria socialista cayó cinco puntos al 24
por ciento, mientras que el rechazo también volvió a su
máximo de 72 por ciento, al aumentar en siete puntos.
“Mayo fue un mes extremadamente complejo para
(el palacio presidencial) La Moneda, un mes intenso en
conflictos políticos y de índole social”, dijo la firma en
un comunicado. “El cambio respecto al mes anterior resulta estadísticamente significativo”, agregó.
El Gobierno se vio sacudido por las consecuencias
de una intensa marea roja que golpeó fuertemente al sur
del país, incluyendo a la turística isla de Chiloé, y que
provocó un bloqueo de vías por parte de los pobladores.
El mínimo nivel de aprobación en el segundo
mandato de la presidenta, que llegó al poder con una
amplia mayoría y tras prometer profundas reformas, se
registró por última vez en diciembre del año pasado.
Durante mayo, grupos de estudiantes también
anunciaron una radicalización de sus manifestaciones
en contra de una reforma educacional impulsada por
Bachelet que consideran como un fracaso, aunque la
iniciativa aún cuenta con un 49 por ciento de respaldo
público, según el sondeo.
La semana pasada, un grupo de estudiantes vulneró
la seguridad e irrumpió en el palacio presidencial como
parte de una protesta.
Además, durante el mes la atención pública volvió
a centrarse en un caso de tráfico de influencias que
involucra directamente a la nuera de la mandataria.
Respecto a otras reformas clave, los ajustes a la
legislación laboral concentran un 60 por ciento de
rechazo, mientras que un 61 por ciento está interesado en
participar de un proceso para el cambio de la Constitución.
También se registró un significativo aumento en el
rechazo a la forma en que Bachelet y su Gobierno manejan la economía, el empleo, el cuidado del medio ambiente y la educación.
Brasil registra un desempleo récord de 11,2% entre febrero y abril
B
rasil registró una desocupación récord de 11,2% en
el trimestre móvil febrero-abril, sacudido por una
profunda crisis económica que sumó 3,4 millones de desempleados durante el último año, informó el martes el
ente estatal de estadísticas.
El Instituto Brasileño de Geografía y Estadística
(IBGE) reportó que la mayor economía latinoamericana
tiene 11,4 millones de desempleados, contra los 8,02
millones del trimestre terminado en abril del año pasado,
y se encamina hacia su primer bienio recesivo desde la
década del 30, con una inflación cercana a los dos dígitos
y un rojo fiscal gigantesco.
Con el país sumido en una crisis política que llevó
a la suspensión de la presidenta Dilma Rousseff, acusada de manipular las cuentas públicas, y reemplazada
interinamente por su vice Michel Temer, el desempleo
aumentó 3,2 puntos porcentuales en abril frente a igual
medición de 2015 (8%), según la nueva metodología que
reemplazó al indicador mensual por uno trimestral.
“Fue la mayor tasa de desocupación desde que se
inició la serie en enero de 2012”, dijo el organismo en
su reporte.
Brasil había empezado el 2016 con una desocupación
del 9,5%, muy por encima del 6,2% que registraba en
diciembre del 2013, la menor tasa de toda la serie.
A poco más de dos meses de inaugurar en Rio de Janeiro los primeros Juegos Olímpicos de la historia en
Sudamérica, el país se debate en una dura crisis. El PIB
se contrajo 3,8% en 2015 y proyecta una caída similar
en 2016, año para el cual el gobierno proyecta un déficit
fiscal de más de 163.000 millones de reales (unos 45.500
millones de dólares).
Los problemas financieros llevaron al país a perder el
grado de inversión a manos de las calificadoras de riesgo
internacional y apenas tiene en la balanza comercial el
único dato macroeconómico positivo, ayudado por una
fuerte depreciación del real ante el dólar.
Brasil, con una población de 204 millones de habitantes, tiene 165,9 millones de personas en edad de trabajar y una fuerza laboral activa de 102 millones.

UN: 880 killed in
Mediterranean shipwrecks
over last week
ENEVA - Survivors’ accounts now indicate
the dangerous Mediterranean Sea crossing
from Libya to Italy claimed at least 880 lives in
the last week as unseaworthy, overcrowded smuggling boats capsized and sank under the weight of
their human cargo, the U.N. refugee agency said
Tuesday.
The deadliest known tally in over a year could
foreshadow disasters ahead in the next few months
during the region’s traditional summer-fall spike in
human trafficking as the weather and water grow
warmer.
UNHCR spokesman William Spindler said this
year is proving to be “particularly deadly” on the
Mediterranean, with some 2,510 lives lost compared to 1,855 in the same span a year ago.
International organizations had reported Sunday that over 700 migrants and refugees had perished in three Mediterranean shipwrecks on three
straight days last week. Further interviews with
traumatized survivors who were brought to Italian
ports prompted UNHCR to increase the estimated
number of dead from those wrecks and others.

Physicist Stephen Hawking baffled by Donald Trump’s rise
L
ONDON - Renowned theoretical physicist Stephen
Hawking may have a good grasp of the workings
of the universe, but he says he can’t understand Donald
Trump’s popularity.
Hawking tells ITV’s “Good Morning Britain” show
Tuesday that he has no explanation for the success of the
presumptive Republican Party presidential nominee.
“He is a demagogue who seems to appeal to the
lowest common denominator,” Hawking says in
prerecorded comments to be broadcast when the show
airs at 6 a.m. London time. Hawking , who speaks
through a computer system operated with his cheek,
also made a plea for British voters to choose to remain
in the European Union in the June 23 referendum.

South Korean Olympic organizers reveal mascot for 2018 Games
EOUL, Korea, Republic Of — A
cartoon white tiger named
“Soohorang” will be
the mascot for the 2018
Pyeongchang Olympics.
The
organizing
committee of the games
made the announcement
Thursday and said an
Asian black bear character,
named “Bandabi,” was
picked as the mascot for
the Paralympics.
Soohorang, created by
South Korean designers,
was picked as the mascot
because Koreans have
long equated the shape of
the Korean Peninsula to
the shape of a tiger, the
committee said. White
tigers are also considered
as guardian animals in
Korean folklore.
Bandabi was picked
as the Paralympic mascot
because bears to Koreans
represent strong will
and courage, and also
because the Asian black
bear is the symbolic
animal of the Gangwon
Province, the region that
governs
Pyeongchang,
the committee said. Lee
Hee-bom, the president
of
Pyeongchang’s
organizing
committee,
said that the mascots
embody the “collective
will” for the successful
hosting of the Olympics
and Paralympics, and
will now “spearhead”
the
committee’s
communication
and
marketing activities.

Bernie Sanders: Donald Trump is an ‘incredibly dangerous person’
he self-described democratic socialist
attempted to answer his own question,
suggesting that the billionaire real estate
mogul had craftily managed to brand himself
as a populist outsider.
“Many working-class people in this
country no longer have faith in establishment
politics,” Sanders said. “And, of course,
that’s what Trump has seized upon. He’s
a phony and an opportunist. But he has
seized upon that and said, ‘I am not part of
the establishment.’ He’s only a multibillionaire who has worked with Wall Street and
everybody else.
E
with the Seven Network on Sunday, her
husband, Robert Gropel, said he continued
on to the summit after she became ill.
“I asked, ‘Do you mind if I go on,’ and

Suspected shark attack halts swimming at California beach
EWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- Thousands
of Memorial Day beachgoers were
kept out of the water Monday as lifeguards
searched miles of popular Southern California
shoreline for a shark they believe attacked a

The woman, who was swimming in a
wetsuit, received large bite marks on her
upper torso and shoulder and was bleeding
heavily after a lifeguard boat spotted her in
distress Sunday at Corona Del Mar State

Presidente de Ecuador dice “Secretario de la OEA; está
bastante desubicado”
uito, 31 may (EFE).- El presidente de
Ecuador, Rafael Correa, consideró hoy
“fuera de lugar” el posicionamiento del
secretario general de la Organización de
Estados Americanos (OEA) Luis Almagro, al
invocar la Carta Democrática sobre Venezuela
y dijo que el también excanciller uruguayo
“hace rato está bastante desubicado”.
Correa, en un encuentro con periodistas
en la provincia de Manabí (noroeste) señaló
que Almagro “está tomando decisiones por
cuenta propia, de forma muy ‘sui generis’”
y manifestó el desacuerdo del Gobierno que
lidera con la decisión del secretario de la OEA.
En un informe, Almagro activó hoy la Carta
Democrática a Venezuela, lo que puede llevar
a su suspensión del ente, por considerar que
hay una “alteración del orden constitucional
que afecta gravemente el orden democrático”.
Pero Correa dijo que la máxima autoridad
de la OEA es su Asamblea y cuando ese órgano
no esta convocado, el Consejo Permanente, al
que está subordinado Almagro, indicó.
El gobernante ecuatoriano subrayó,
además, que con su invocación a la Carta
Democrática, el responsable de la OEA
“está atendiendo un pedido del Legislativo venezolano (...) cuando normalmente se
atienden los pedidos del poder Ejecutivo”
para activar esa carta.
“Obviamente, pues nosotros no estamos
de acuerdo con ese llamado, creemos que la
presidencia del Consejo Permanente (que
ocupa Argentina) tampoco”, dijo Correa.
El presidente ecuatoriano remarcó que,
en su opinión, la solución al “gravísimo
problema venezolano” se alcanzará por la vía
de un diálogo que, indicó, se lleva a cabo con
la mediación de los expresidentes panameño,
Martín Torrijos; dominicano, Leonel
Fernández y español, José Luis Rodríguez
Zapatero. El gobernante de Ecuador expresó
su apoyo a ese diálogo y al acompañamiento
que recibe de parte de la Unión de Naciones
Suramericanas (Unasur), formada por
Argentina, Brasil, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia,
Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Perú, Surinam,
Uruguay y Venezuela.
Reiteró que la invocación de Almagro
está “fuera de lugar” y no ha sido consultada
con los países miembros del organismo
interamericano ni con su Consejo Permanente.

the city limits at Crystal Cove State Beach.
Officials said it would remain in effect until
further notice.
The injured woman was swimming
about 100 yards offshore, just outside buoys
marking a protected swimming area near
where boats travel. Lifeguards who saw her
struggling witnessed the last part of the attack
and quickly ruled out any kind of boating or
watercraft accident, Williams said.
There have been no recent reports of
sharks in the area, he said.

Maduro camp cries fraud in Venezuela recall
vote drive
C
aracas (AFP) - Allies of
Venezuelan President Nicolas
Maduro accused his opponents
Monday of fraud in their petition
for a vote on removing him from
office, saying 10,000 people who
supposedly signed it are dead.
With Venezuela mired in
a punishing economic crisis,
Maduro’s opponents are racing
to fulfill the requirements to call
a recall referendum against him.
They are hoping to clear a first
hurdle Thursday, when electoral
authorities are due to finish
reviewing an initial batch of 1.8
million signatures backing a recall
vote. But the leftist leader’s allies
alleged the petition -- the first of two
required -- was riddled with fraud.
“I state with full responsibility
that at this time we have detected
10,000 deceased people signing,”
said Jorge Rodriguez, the head of a
commission appointed by Maduro
to oversee the process.
He alleged more than 40 percent
of the signatures were fraudulent
in separate comments Sunday.
If the electoral board accepts the
preliminary petition, signatories
will then be asked to confirm their
decision in person and prove their
identity via fingerprint scans.
The opposition would then have
to collect four million signatures
on a second petition to trigger a
referendum.
Maduro’s
opponents
are
racing to hold a referendum
before January 10, four years into
Maduro’s six-year term. After that
date, a successful recall vote would
pass power to the vice president
rather than trigger new elections.
The
opposition
accuses
Maduro’s camp of stalling.
Venezuela, home to the world’s
largest oil reserves, has been on a
downward spiral since a collapse
in global crude prices began in
mid-2014.

Drowned baby picture captures week of
tragedy in Mediterranean
A
photograph of a drowned
migrant baby in the arms
of a German rescuer was
distributed on Monday by a
humanitarian
organization
aiming to persuade European authorities to ensure safe
passage to migrants, after
hundreds are feared to have
drowned in the Mediterranean
last week.
The baby, who appears to
be no more than a year old,
was pulled from the sea on
Friday after the capsizing of a
wooden boat.
Forty-five bodies arrived
in the southern Italian port of
Reggio Calabria on Sunday
aboard an Italian navy ship,
which picked up 135 survivors
from the same incident.
German
humanitarian
organization
Sea-Watch,
operating a rescue boat in the
sea between Libya and Italy,
distributed the picture taken by
a media production company
on board and which showed a
rescuer cradling the child like
a sleeping baby.
In an email, the rescuer, who gave his name as
Martin but did not want his
family name published, said
he had spotted the baby in the
water “like a doll, arms out-
stretched”.
“I took hold of the forearm
of the baby and pulled the light
body protectively into my
arms at once, as if it were still
alive ...
It held out its arms with
tiny fingers into the air, the sun
shone into its bright, friendly
but motionless eyes.”
The rescuer, a father of
three and by profession a
music therapist, added:
“I began to sing to comfort myself and to give some
kind of expression to this incomprehensible, heart-rending
moment. Just six hours ago
this child was alive.”
Like the photograph of
the three-year-old Syrian
boy Aylan lying lifeless on a
Turkish beach last year, the
image puts a human face on the
more than 8,000 people who
have died in the Mediterranean
since the start of 2014.
Little is known about
the child, who according to
Sea-Watch was immediately
handed over to the Italian navy.
Rescuers could not confirm
whether the partially clothed
infant was a boy or a girl and
it is not known whether the
child’s mother or father are
among the survivors.
Kidnapped Mexican striker Pulido escaped

disappeared in his hometown

intercepted by gunmen after
leaving a party with his girlfriend. Pulido called Mexico’s
emergency services around
midnight on Sunday after the
fistfight. He then cut his wrist
trying to open a locked glass
door, Quintanilla said.
“There was an exchange
of blows between them,”
Quintanilla said. “At some
point he was able to make a
call.” Police have detained
the captor, one of least four
involved, who belonged to a
criminal gang. It was unclear
whether they were connected
to the feared Zetas drug cartel,
which controls much of the
state. In the early hours of
Monday, Tamaulipas Governor
Egidio Torre Cantu appeared
on local television, flanked by
Pulido, congratulating security
forces for rescuing him.
The player was wearing a
multicolored T-shirt and shorts
and had a bandage wrapped
around his right hand.
Pulido was in a “good state
of health,” and was with his
family after receiving medical
and psychological attention.
Tamaulipas, which abuts the
U.S. state of Texas, is an especially violent area of Mexico,
which is grappling with grisly
drug gang violence.
Pulido was a member of
the Mexican national team that
competed in the 2014 World
Cup in Brazil. He has also
played for the Greek team Levadiakos and the Mexican club
Tigres.

para fabricar una bomba.
Sevigin se descargó información

armado, indicó el tribunal el jueves.
Se desconoce cuál era el objetivo

Grupos de medios piden boicot al presidente de Filipinas
ANILA, Filipinas (AP) — Varios
grupos internacionales de medios
se sumaron el jueves a las críticas al
presidente electo de Filipinas, Rodrigo
Duterte, por sus declaraciones sobre
que se ha asesinado a periodistas en el
país porque eran corruptos y que los que
han actuado mal no están exentos de ser
asesinados.
Reporteros Sin Fronteros instó a los
medios filipinos a boicotear las ruedas
de prensa de Duterte hasta que ofrezca
una disculpa pública y formal.
El Comité para Proteger a los
Periodistas dijo que las declaraciones
parecían excusar los asesinatos
extrajudicialesy amenazan con convertir
a los periodistas en diana en Filipinas.
Durante una rueda de prensa el
martes, Duterte empleó un término
malsonante para señalar que “sólo por
uno sea periodista, (no significa) que
esté exento de asesinato” si obra mal.
Todos los medios locales han
condenado sus declaraciones de forma
generalizada.

Alligators Are Found Feasting on Dead Body
nvestigators from the Davie Police Department returned to a scene at the edge of
the Everglades on Tuesday – the place where a body was found being eaten by
two alligators.
Officers were searching the canal bank for any clues that could lead to the identity
of the person, or help determine how the person got there, said Davie Police Capt.
Dale Engle.
“We are treating this as a homicide until we find otherwise,” said Engle.

The alligators are not suspected of killing the person, whose gender had not been
determined, Engle said.

Al Qaeda says conducted Mali
raid that killed China peacekeeper
A
l Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM)
claimed responsibility on Wednesday for an
attack on two United Nations’ sites in northern
Mali where a peacekeeper from China and three
civilians were killed and over a dozen others
wounded.
China’s Foreign Ministry said four of its peacekeepers were injured and called for an investigation into the attack late on Tuesday on the base
in the town of Gao. The country said it has 2,400
peacekeepers stationed in Africa.
Two Malian security guards and a French expert were killed in a later attack carried out with
light arms on the U.N. anti-mining operation
(UNMAS) in a different neighborhood of Gao,
the U.N. peacekeeping mission (MINUSMA) and
U.N. headquarters said. U.N. Secretary-General
Ban Ki-moon was “outraged by the terrorist attacks carried out yesterday in Gao,” his spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters.
“No a Keiko”, miles marchan en
Perú para evitar su gobierno
A
cinco días de las elecciones, decenas de miles
de personas se han manifestado en el centro
de Lima durante más de seis horas contra la candidata Keiko Fujimori. Sindicatos, estudiantes de
universidades públicas y privadas, organizaciones
de Derechos Humanos, de mujeres, de maestros,
de médicos, de jubilados y miles de ciudadanos
anónimos han progagonizado una marcha pacífica y posteriormente un mitin en la plaza Dos de
Mayo, símbolo de la luchas de la izquierda.
El objetivo de la convocatoria ha ido más allá
de su tradicional ‘No a Keiko’, nombre de la coordinadora que agrupa a los diferentes colectivos
que marchan desde 2011 en contra de la hija del
condenado ex presidente peruano.
La gran mayoría de grupos asistentes han pedido en las calles un “voto crítico” por Pedro Pablo
Kuzcynski, ex ministro y ex funcionario del Banco
Mundial para evitar lo que consideran el retorno a
la dictadura y a un ‘narcoestado’.

L
a Fiscalía de Colombia pedirá imputar a los
máximos jefes de la guerrilla ELN por el secuestro de tres periodistas, entre ellos la española
Salud Hernández, liberados el pasado viernes, informó este martes el ente acusador.” Para nosotros
es claro que debemos imputar esos secuestros
como crimen internacional no solo a quienes lo
practicaron directamente, sino a los miembros del
Comando Central (COCE) del ELN como máximos responsables”, dijo el fiscal general de la Nación, Jorge Fernando Perdomo, en entrevista con
el canal televisivo Caracol.
Para Perdomo, el hecho de que los rehenes
fueran civiles y periodistas hace que su secuestro a
manos del Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN,
guevarista), “pueda ser catalogado como un crimen
de lesa humanidad o crimen de guerra”, agregó el
jefe del ente acusador.Hernández, colaboradora de
EL MUNDO y columnista del local El Tiempo.
