The Hill: US officials say Erik Prince may have violated Venezuela sanctions: report

Blackwater founder Erik Prince may have evaded U.S. sanctions on Venezuela, two senior U.S. officials reportedly said Monday.

The unnamed officials told The Associated Press that Prince, the brother of Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, had been referred to the Treasury Department over a meeting in Caracas, Venezuela, with the country's vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, a sanctioned ally of President Nicolás Maduro.

An attorney for Prince told the news outlet that his client's meeting was not business-related and that no violation had occurred.

SCMP: Trade war: China's top negotiator Liu He to visit US for phase one deal signing this week, source says

* Vice-Premier Liu He has accepted an invitation to lead a delegation to the US from this Saturday, a source briefed on the matter told the Post
* US trade representative Robert Lighthizer previously said phase one trade deal would be signed in the first week of January

Vice-Premier Liu He is set to lead a delegation to Washington this Saturday, where he is expected to sign a phase one deal that would significantly de-escalate the US-China trade war, a source briefed on the matter has told the South China Morning Post.

"Washington has sent an invitation and Beijing has accepted it," said the source, who declined to be named due to the highly sensitive nature of the information. The Chinese delegation is expected to stay "a few days" in the US until the middle of next week, the source added.

Neither side has officially confirmed the trip. China's Ministry of Commerce was not immediately available for comment.

Wikileaks: CIA Is Able To Restrict The Use Missiles To A Specific Region

Reuters: CIA devised way to restrict missiles given to allies, researcher says

LEIPZIG, Germany (Reuters) - The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency has devised technology to restrict the use of anti-aircraft missiles after they leave American hands, a researcher said, a move that experts say could persuade the United States that it would be safe to disseminate powerful weapons more frequently.

The new technology is intended for use with shoulder-fired missiles called Man-Portable Air-Defense Systems (MANPADS), Dutch researcher Jos Wetzels told a cybersecurity conference here in Leipzig, Germany on Saturday. Wetzels said the system was laid out in a batch of CIA documents published by WikiLeaks in 2017 but that the files were mislabeled and attracted little public attention until now.

The Pentagon Is Preparing To Fight The Wrong War

Posted: 30 Dec 2019 05:00 PM PST

David Axe, Daily Beast: This Is What War Looks Like in 2029

America has the most military hardware of any country—but experts say the nature of war is shifting underground and online, and the U.S. may struggle to keep up.

The U.S. House of Representatives on Dec. 11 passed its version of the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act, clearing the way for the U.S. Senate to approve the measure. If President Donald Trump signs the bill, it will channel a staggering $740 billion into the Pentagon's accounts.

That's by far the biggest military budget of any country. The United States lavishes on its armed forces more than twice as much as No. 2 spender China does, and more than 10 times what No. 6 Russia does.

Tamar Shiloh Vidon, France 24: A year of discontent: Protests of 2019 toppled world leaders from Bolivia to Sudan

Street demonstrations rocked cities around the world in 2019, with some leading to the downfall of longtime leaders who once appeared invulnerable while others put their governments on notice in a year that proved to be one of widespread discontent.

Protesters are demanding the removal of corrupt governments, better living standards, greater freedoms and more rights.

The leaders of Bolivia, Algeria, Lebanon, Iraq and Sudan have been pushed out as a consequence. Elsewhere, such as in Chile and Ecuador, protesters have won concessions from their governments.

FRANCE 24 takes a look at some of the popular movements that have successfully led to the ouster of political leaders in 2019 – some of them after decades in power.

CNN: Iran warns of 'consequences' after US strikes in Iraq and Syria

Iran has warned the US of "consequences" after Washington carried out airstrikes against an Iran-backed militia group in Iraq.

The US has "openly shown its support to terrorism and shown its negligence to the independence and national sovereignty of countries," said Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mosavi , according to the state-run IRNA news agency.

"It must accept responsibility of the consequences of the illegal attacks," added Mosavi.

At least 25 people were killed and 51 wounded in the airstrikes that targeted five facilities controlled by Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq and Syria on Sunday.

The Pentagon Tried Again To Decommission The Aircraft Carrier USS Harry Truman

Defense News: Memo reveals Pentagon again tried to decommission the carrier Truman, cut an air wing

WASHINGTON — Despite causing a political firestorm earlier this year and forcing President Donald Trump to publicly reverse his administration's position on the matter, the U.S. military again tried to push a plan that would lead to the aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman retiring 25 years early and would defund a carrier air wing, according to a White House memo obtained by Defense News.

The plan, which was killed sometime in November during a back-and-forth between the Pentagon and the White House's Office of Management and Budget, was recycled from the 2020 budget submission. At the time, the move was framed as a way to pay for investments in unmanned technologies and long-range hypersonic missiles.

The now-reversed decision to defund the Truman's refueling lends further insight into the pressures the Navy faces in this budget cycle.

How Chinese Hackers Uncovered America's Undercover Spies

Yahoo News: 'Shattered': Inside the secret battle to save America's undercover spies in the digital age

When hackers began slipping into computer systems at the Office of Personnel Management in the spring of 2014, no one inside that federal agency could have predicted the potential scale and magnitude of the damage. Over the next six months, those hackers — later identified as working for the Chinese government — stole data on nearly 22 million former and current American civil servants, including intelligence officials.

The data breach, which included fingerprints, personnel records and security clearance background information, shook the intelligence community to its core. Among the hacked information's other uses, Beijing had acquired a potential way to identify large numbers of undercover spies working for the U.S. government. The fallout from the hack was intense, with the CIA reportedly pulling its officers out of China. (The director of national intelligence later denied this withdrawal.)

U.S. Congress Wants To Know More On White House Policies When It Comes To Using Cyber Weapons

Posted: 30 Dec 2019 11:43 AM PST

Wall Street Journal: White House Expands Use of Cyber Weapons but Stays Secretive on Policies

Congress remains largely in the dark despite bipartisan criticism of President Trump's stance

WASHINGTON—In his three years in office, President Trump has overseen an escalation in the U.S. military's deployment of cyber weapons as a way to engage forcefully with adversaries around the globe without provoking all-out war.

But the White House hasn't made the same effort to inform Congress and the public about its rules for using these new cyber capabilities, lawmakers and experts say, prompting a bipartisan push to demand more transparency from the administration.

President Trump issued a classified directive nearly a year-and-a-half ago that outlines new, less restrictive rules for the military's use of cyber weapons. Approved efforts can range from a temporary network disruption to long-term degradation or sabotage of an adversary's computer systems, officials have said.

That more-aggressive posture has largely paid off, current and former officials say, as it has allowed the administration to rely on cyber operations to confront a broader array of threats and to react more nimbly to changing circumstances, including during a peak in hostilities with Iran this summer and Russian election interference attempts during last year's midterm elections.

But the White House hasn't let members of Congress see the directive, known as National Security Presidential Memorandum 13, the lawmakers said, leaving them with little understanding of a key element of American warfighting capability.

Does President Trump’s National Security Adviser Know Who Runs North Korea?

Posted: 30 Dec 2019 11:12 AM PST



RT: Kim Jong-unbelievable: Trump's national security adviser forgets how to say North Korean leader's name

President Trump's national security adviser is a trusted source of counsel when dealing with adversaries like North Korea. Surprisingly, knowing the name of the North Korean leader doesn't seem to be a job requirement.

Despite a series of high-profile meetings between President Donald Trump and chairman Kim Jong-un, tensions between the US and North Korea are returning to old highs. Pyongyang wants Washington to drop its calls for denuclearization, and Kim has given the US a year-end deadline to meet this request, while issuing cryptic threats of a "christmas gift" for America.

The image shows 18 small craft sailing next to the USS Abraham Lincoln and her escorts in the Strait of Hormuz earlier this month.

The U.S. Navy has confirmed that "multiple" small Iranian boats running alongside the Nimitz class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and other ships from her strike group as she sailed through Strait of Hormuz into the Gulf of Oman earlier this month, as seen in commercial satellite imagery. The service has rejected reports that any of the Iranian craft harassed or otherwise acted provocatively toward the carrier, saying the activity was within "normal behavior patterns." Still, the image of 18 small boats in very close proximity to Lincoln and her escorts is eye-opening and a stark reminder of the inherent risks of each transit through the Strait.

Afghan Taliban Slam Reports That They Are About To Declare A Ceasefire

France 24: Taliban slams 'baseless reports' of ceasefire plans

The Taliban on Monday denied agreeing to any ceasefire in Afghanistan after rumours swirled of a potential deal that would see a reduction in fighting after more than 18 years of war.

In a statement released on Twitter, the Taliban's official spokesman said the group has "no intention of declaring a ceasefire".

Blasting multiple US media reports suggesting the group was ready to announce a temporary truce, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid denied "propaganda by some outlets" of a schism within the movement over the ceasefire issue. "Some intelligence circles are utilizing the media in an effort to generate anxiety, false optimism and sabotage the ongoing negotiations process through the dissemination of misleading information," said the statement without providing further details.

Japanese Report Is Saying that North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un's Slush Fund Is Running Out

Kim Jong-un calls for 'positive & offensive' measures to ensure N. Korea's security amid stalled denuclearization talks with US

UPI: Kim Jong Un slush fund running out, report says

Dec. 30 (UPI) -- A North Korean slush fund established exclusively for Kim Jong Un's use could be running out of money, according to a Japanese press report.

Tokyo Shimbun reported Monday "Fund No. 216," a stash of money the North Korean leader inherited from father Kim Jong Il, retains less than $1 billion.

When Kim Jong Un inherited the fund, it was worth about $4 billion to $5 billion. A North Korean source told the Japanese news service the cause of the decline in funds is international sanctions.

With less than $1 billion in No. 216, the assets are likely to be depleted within a year, the report says.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has called for 'offensive measures' to strengthen security as a way to lay out the country's fresh approach to tackling US sanctions.

The remarks came ahead of a New Year speech that could flesh out the nuclear-armed nation's threat to seek a 'new way' forward after the expiration of its year-end deadline for US sanctions relief.

Kim's latest comments, made during a meeting of top ruling party officials in Pyongyang, came amid concerns that the North could formally close down dialogue with Washington and resume nuclear and long-range missile tests.

Japan Airlines Is Giving Away 50,000 Free Flights to Tourists. Here’s How to Get One

Posted: 30 Dec 2019 11:21 PM PST

If the Tokyo Olympics aren’t enough reason to plan a trip to Japan this summer, Japan Airlines has an offer that could sweeten the deal—free tickets to a surprise destination in the country for 50,000 lucky travelers.

To encourage visitors to travel more widely within Japan, the airline is giving away free round-trip tickets for flights within Japan to foreign tourists this summer.

There are a few requirements: Travelers must fly to Japan on Japan Airlines between July 1 and Sept. 30. They must also be registered with the carrier’s Mileage Bank frequent flier program.

Applications for the program will open in late February and the airline is expected to release more details in January. The free tickets will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. You can learn more about the program on Japan Airlines’ website.

The airline offers direct flights to major U.S. cities, but travelers can book connections from other cities on the Japan Airlines website.

Applicants will select which airport they want to fly out of — either Haneda Airport in Tokyo, or Itami or Kansai Airports in Osaka. Travelers will be shown four possible destinations within Japan. If they win, they’ll receive an email within three days notifying them which of the four places they’ll be flying free to.

All Nippon Airways, Japan’s largest airline, will be offering discount airfares to lesser-visited parts of Japan this summer. The tickets, which will allow travelers to make multi-stop trips, will go on sale in time for the Olympics.

Japan is expected to see a surge in tourism this summer as the country hosts the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo from July 24 to Aug. 9. Some famous hotels in the capital have already stopped taking room reservations and a 14,000-room shortfall is forecast. The government expects that the Olympics will attract about 10 million visitors, according to Japan Times.

The country has been seeing a tourist boom in recent years. Japan saw more than 31 million international visitors in 2018, including 1.5 million from the U.S., according to figures from the Japan National Tourist Organization.

Final preparations for the 2020 games are underway; the new national stadium, which will be used as the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies, was completed earlier this month. The official Olympics mascot, a half-superhero, half-robot name Miraitowa, has also been unveiled.

This is the second time the Olympics has been held in Tokyo. In 1964, the city became the first in Asia to host the games.

Colombian Soccer Star Seeks Answers on His Disappeared Father

Posted: 30 Dec 2019 06:15 PM PST

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — The newly appointed chief of Colombia’s army says he is willing to meet with soccer star Juan Fernando Quintero to discuss his father’s disappearance more than 20 years ago.

Gen. Eduardo Zapateiro said during a military ceremony on Monday he “shares the pain” of Quintero’s family and added that he is willing to meet with the River Plate and Colombian national team midfielder to discuss his father’s final days.

Jaime Quintero was last seen in 1995 at an army base in the city of Carepa, which was then commanded by Zapateiro. According to Quintero’s relatives, Jaime was carrying out his compulsory military service, and disappeared after falling out with Zapateiro, who wanted to transfer him to another base due to his unruly behavior.

Following Zapateiro’s appointment as army chief last week, Quintero’s relatives gave interviews on local media in which they complained about the general’s promotion, saying he still had not answered questions on Jaime’s disappearance. Juan Fernando Quintero, who was 2 years old when his father went missing, took to Twitter on Monday morning, asking for a meeting with the general and saying that he had the right to know the truth about his father.

Zapateiro denies involvement in the disappearance of Jaime Quintero, and in a statement published yesterday the military cited investigations conducted by local courts, which blamed rebel groups for the crime.

According to Colombia’s National Center for Historical Memory, more than 80,000 people were forcibly disappeared in Colombia between 1958 and 2015, as the military and rebel groups fought for control of rural areas.

Pompeo to Visit Ukraine as Senate Weighs Impeachment Trial

Posted: 30 Dec 2019 10:19 AM PST

(WASHINGTON) — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will visit Ukraine this week, making his first trip to the country at the heart of President Donald Trump’s impeachment.

As the Senate weighs options for a trial, Pompeo will depart Thursday on a five-nation tour of Europe and Central Asia. Ukraine will be the first stop on the trip, the State Department said Monday.

Trump’s impeachment on charges of abuse of office and obstruction of Congress hinges on his policy toward Ukraine. Witnesses told House investigators that Trump wanted Ukraine to announce an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden’s son in return for releasing critical military aid to Ukraine.

One of those witnesses, William Taylor, is the current acting U.S. ambassador to Ukraine although he will leave Kyiv shortly before Pompeo’s arrival. Pompeo appointed Taylor to the post over the summer to take over from Marie Yovanovitch, whose tour was abruptly cut short in May after Trump’s personal attorney Rudolph Giuliani made unsubstantiated allegations against her.

Taylor’s position was temporary and time-limited by law but his tenure could have lasted until mid-January, prompting complaints from lawmakers that his departure is similar to Yovanovitch’s early recall and sends a poor message to the embassy in Kyiv and career diplomats more generally, as well as Ukraine.

A senior State Department official ignored several questions about Taylor’s status in a conference call with reporters Monday. The official gave details about the trip on condition of anonymity under State Department rules for such briefings.

In Kyiv, Pompeo will meet with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, whose July 25 phone call with Trump triggered the whistleblower complaint that led to Trump’s impeachment. In that call, Trump disparaged Yovanovitch and asked Zelenskiy for “a favor,” suggesting he wanted Ukrainian authorities to investigate Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, for corruption. Trump has said the call was “perfect” and has denied doing anything wrong.

In his meetings, Pompeo will “reaffirm U.S. support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity” as the country continues to battle Russia-backed separatists in the east, the State Department said. Pompeo also will honor Ukrainians who have died in the conflict, which intensified after Russia annexed Ukraine’s Crimea peninsula in 2014, in a move condemned and rejected by most of the international community. The senior official said Pompeo would underscore that the U.S. will never recognize Russia’s annexation of Crimea.

The official said Pompeo would discuss Zelenskiy’s anti-corruption efforts but would not comment on whether the secretary would raise Trump’s desire for an investigation into Hunter Biden and his role on the board of a Ukrainian energy company or discredited claims that Ukraine and not Russia was responsible for interfering in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

In addition, Pompeo plans to meet Ukrainian religious, civic and business leaders for talks on human rights, investment and economic and political reform, the department said.

From Ukraine, Pompeo will travel on to Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Cyprus before returning home. Human rights, energy independence and economic reform will top Pompeo’s agenda at each of those stops, the department said.

In Minsk, the secretary plans to affirm the U.S. commitment to improving ties with Belarus, which has had a strained relationship with Russia. President Alexander Lukashenko has pursued better relations with the West since Russia’s annexation of Crimea as Belarus is wary that Russia could try to absorb it.

In September, the U.S. and Belarus agreed to upgrade diplomatic ties by returning ambassadors to each other’s capitals after an 11-year break.

KFC Japan Holds An Annual Memorial Service For its Chickens

Posted: 30 Dec 2019 10:00 AM PST

If you happen to swing by the grave of KFC founder Col. Harland Sanders at the Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky, you may see buckets of chicken sitting atop his memorial. In Japan, though, you may see statues of Col. Sanders at a memorial service for KFC Japan’s chickens.

While KFC is known for their oddball promotions and PR stunts, the chicken memorial is not that. According to English-language Japanese news site SoraNews24, each year KFC Japan holds an annual memorial service for the brave chickens whose lives were lost in service of sating Japan’s hunger for fried chicken.

The memorial service, known as Chicken Thanksgiving, is an annual event that has reportedly taken place since 1974, as a way for the company to give thanks for the birds. Each year to mark the solemn occasion, per SoraNews24, the president of KFC Japan and other high-ranking executives in the company as well as “key people along the supply chain such as meat processors, sales reps, and seasoning producers,” gather at one of Japan’s temples to appreciate, remember, and honor the chickens that are so valuable to their business. They also “pray for safe and healthy meat during the following year.”

While Chicken Thanksgiving is a long standing tradition, according to SoraNews24, the memorials aren’t particularly well known even in Japan.

The memorial is typically held in early summer, but it is in the news now because many Japanese families mark Christmas with buckets of KFC, thanks to a clever businessman, a white lie, and a marketing campaign, according to Business Insider who reported the story for their podcast. The chain first came to Japan in 1970, opening a branch in Nagoya, which was saved when the businessman convinced his Japanese market that people in the U.S. marked Christmas with buckets of KFC.

The idea caught on and come 1974, KFC Japan launched a marketing campaign promoting “Kurisumasu ni wa kentakkii!” or “Kentucky for Christmas!”, which helped turned buckets of chicken from a fast food dinner to an annual holiday feast. Now, the tradition is so popular that the chain relies on it for a third of its annual income, per the BBC.

Wildfires Rage Across Australia as Sydney Fireworks Set to Go Ahead

Posted: 30 Dec 2019 06:57 AM PST

One firefighter has died and tens of thousands of people have been told to evacuate because of wildfires raging across Australia on Monday.

The total number of firefighters killed across Australia is now 10, as high temperatures and winds drive the blazes across the dry landscape.

Fires are burning all over the country, including on the outskirts of Sydney, Melbourne and the capital, Canberra. In the worst-affected state, New South Wales, 97 fires were burning on Monday, 43 of which were not yet contained, according to the Associated Press.

Sydney’s famous New Year’s Eve fireworks will go ahead, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said, despite a petition signed by more than 250,000 people calling for them to be scrapped in light of the fires.

“In the midst of the challenges that we face, subject to the safety considerations, I can think of no better time to express to the world just how optimistic and positive we are as a country,” Morrison said.

Temperatures near Sydney are expected to reach 44 degrees celcius (111.2 degrees Fahrenheit) in the coming days, the Guardian reported. Fire bans are in place across the state of New South Wales, but the fireworks have been granted an exemption.

Other cities, including Canberra, have canceled their New Year’s firework celebrations.

More than 1,000 homes have been destroyed since the blazes, known locally as bushfires, began in September. At least 2,000 firefighters are currently battling the fires.

For Nadia Whittome, the evening of Dec. 11 passed in a blur — not because of frantic last-minute campaigning for the U.K. election the following day, but because she was in hospital being treated for the flu.

When the results came through some 24 hours later, Whittome found out that, aged just 23, she had been elected as the U.K.’s youngest sitting lawmaker. She gave her victory speech in the early hours of Dec. 13 between bouts of vomiting. “It was really grim,” she says.

Now almost fully recovered, Whittome has had time to process her victory. Last week, she traveled to London from her home in Nottingham to take her seat in the House of Commons for the first time. At 23, she is less than half the age of an average member of parliament (MP) and, as the youngest sitting one, she finds herself surrounded by people whose political priorities are very different to her own.

Whittome is just the latest member of a new generation of elected representatives around the world who have grown up in an era of cuts to public services after the financial crash of 2007-8 — as well as an accelerating climate crisis. Similar in her progressive outlook to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Congress and Sanna Marin, the new 34 year-old Prime Minister of Finland, Whittome’s politics have been shaped by her generation’s precarious status. “We grew up around people who have struggled to put food on the table,” she tells TIME. “People my age and younger have grown up with a very pressing worry of the climate crisis meaning we won’t have a planet to live on.”

Now, this daughter of working-class immigrants is getting ready to push her generation’s politics as an elected lawmaker for the opposition Labour Party. “We know that the crises we’re up against are huge in scale,” Whittome says, “and that the solutions to them need to be equally bold and implemented urgently.” She gives credit to the climate school strikers, led by Greta Thunberg, for waking some governments up to that fact. “It’s been down to them that world leaders have been forced to concede that we’re facing a climate emergency and drastic action needs to be taken.”

Whittome has already pledged to donate a large chunk of her £79,468 ($103,000) lawmaker’s salary to local charities, instead taking home a “worker’s wage” of £35,000 ($45,000) after tax. (The median U.K. salary is £30,420 before tax.) “I think it’s important for workers’ representatives, and that’s what I am, to be on a worker’s wage,” she says. “Not because MPs don’t deserve [nearly] £80,000, but because so do firefighters, nurses, teachers, shop workers. When they get their pay rise, I’ll get mine.”

Whittome was born in the 1990s, at a historical juncture where the role of the welfare state in Britain was being pulled in two opposite directions. After the Second World War, there was political consensus that the state should be large, with a strong social safety net that could provide healthcare, housing and benefits for those in need. Even during the 1980s under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who rolled back some welfare policies while preaching a free-market gospel, Britain’s welfare state kept its reputation as one of the world’s most generous. The first 13 years of Whittome’s life were spent under Labour governments, which spent heavily on social programs in a bid to reverse what they saw as the damage Thatcher had done. But in 2010, Labour was defeated and replaced by a Conservative Party-led coalition government, which argued that slashing public spending was the only way for Britain to reduce its budget deficit and recover from the 2008 financial crisis. “I know what it’s like to live under a Labour government and have opportunities bestowed on me, then suddenly I was plunged into this world of austerity,” Whittome says. Countries around the world also reduced public spending after the global crash, but the spending cuts that followed in Britain were some of the most severe in any developed economy — and resulted in slower recovery than other countries.

For Whittome, a woman of color who grew up in a single-parent household, the effect of those austerity policies was immediately visible. Whittome says it was a specific move, the so-called “bedroom tax,” that first led her to get into politics in 2012. In order to tackle an acute shortage of social housing, the Conservative coalition government introduced a policy that forced tenants who had a spare room in their public housing unit to accept a cut in their state benefits, in a bid to incentivize them to move into smaller accommodation. The “bedroom tax” hit many of the most vulnerable in society hardest — just 6% of people affected by the tax moved house, but 75% said they were forced to spend less on food. “It was seeing austerity measures impact my community, my friends, my family, my neighbors, which drove me to organize against the government,” Whittome says.

At the 2015 election, it appeared the Conservatives had won the debate on the welfare state when the opposition Labour Party argued that some welfare cuts were indeed necessary and pledged to not reverse some of them if elected. After Labour was defeated, its leader Ed Miliband stepped down, and a little-known lawmaker called Jeremy Corbyn stood to replace him. He was reviled by many Labour lawmakers for supporting policies like the nationalization of industry and higher taxes, which the party had moved away from in the 1990s. Though Corbyn was predicted to lose the internal party leadership contest, he won in September 2015, partly because Labour’s leader is elected by its members rather than its parliamentarians, and Corbyn had tapped into a grassroots desire for full-throated opposition to austerity. He was unexpectedly elected, and designed a radical policy platform pledging turbocharged state spending on infrastructure, welfare and health, while reversing the small-state reforms pursued by the Conservatives.

When Whittome learned Corbyn was running, she supported him “from the minute he announced his leadership bid.” She began leading campaigns in Nottingham against austerity, climate change and the government’s “hostile environment” policy toward immigrants, while holding down a job as a hate crime support worker. Suddenly, her leftwing pursuits were chiming with the messages coming from the party leadership. Whittome credits Corbyn with laying the conditions for her candidacy, though she wasn’t supported by Momentum, the grassroots Corbyn-backing campaign group. In late October 2019, she won an internal vote to be selected as Labour’s parliamentary candidate for the inner-city safe seat, Nottingham East. (Its former occupant, Chris Leslie, had quit the party in February in protest against Corbyn’s leadership.) Less than 24 hours later, a nationwide election was announced.

BRITAIN-EU-POLITICS-BREXIT
TOLGA AKMEN/AFP via Getty ImagesBritain’s opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn leaves his home in north London on December 17, 2019 for the first full day of the new parliament following the general election.

Whittome won easily on election night on Dec. 12, with 64.3% of the vote. Had her victory come at a different time, it would have been a resounding vote of confidence in the radical left wing of the party. But across the country, Corbyn led the Labour Party to its worst defeat since 1935, losing 59 seats in parliament. Its longtime opponent the Conservative Party, now led by Boris Johnson, secured a commanding majority. Corbyn announced he would stand down as leader in the new year. “It was a devastating set of results for us nationally,” Whittome says. She blames Brexit and Labour’s campaign strategy — not Corbyn or the party’s economic policies — for the defeat.

Others in the party disagree, and its future direction is now uncertain. The campaign to choose a new leader has not officially begun, but candidates are positioning themselves in earnest. A dividing line has already emerged between the left-wing faction Whittome is part of, and those who say the only way the party can win an election is to move closer to the center-ground by renouncing Corbyn’s big spending pledges.

Despite the grim outlook for the Labour Party and its outgoing leader, Whittome credits Corbyn with shifting the center-ground in British politics toward policies that are more friendly to young people, like ending austerity and pledging to decarbonize the economy. “Austerity was a political choice,” she says. “We’ve been saying that for the last decade.” That stance was “vindicated” by the Dec. 2019 election, Whittome says, “because the Labour Party, although we didn’t win, shifted the terms of debate on austerity.” During the election campaign, Johnson pledged an end to austerity, increasing public spending on health and police — though not as much as Whittome would like to see.

When it comes to the planet, Whittome is less optimistic. The Conservatives have pledged to decarbonize the British economy by 2050, which is 20 years later than Labour’s target. “Not only is that far too late, the date is imposed on us by the planet. It’s 2030,” Whittome says. “The question isn’t what year we’re going to decarbonize by, it’s what are we going to do to decarbonize by 2030.” In Parliament she says the climate emergency will be her top priority; she hopes to use her status as the youngest MP to pressurize the government to do more.

Whittome may be up against some major challenges, but she’s hopeful about the changes her generation will bring. People tend to assume that young people turn more conservative as they age. And it’s true that in the U.K. at least, the older you are, the more likely you are to vote for a right-wing party. But researchers say those assumptions might be mistaken when it comes to the deeply-held convictions on welfare and the climate held by Whittome and many of her peers. “There is plenty of evidence to suggest that people’s views on key values such as concerns over the climate emergency, support for investment in public services rather than privatization — those sorts of broader values do tend to remain with people,” says Matt Henn, a professor of social research at Nottingham Trent University and author of Youthquake, a book about young people’s impact on British politics.

“Young people now are more socially liberal than young people were in the past. Those values are not necessarily going to dissipate over time. These are fundamental values that, research suggests, broadly stay with people into later life.”

Indian tycoons faced bankruptcies, jail and even death in 2019

Posted:

By Bhuma Shrivastava and P R SanjaiFor many Indian tycoons, 2019 turned woeful as lenders -- empowered by the nation's recent bankruptcy law and desperate to clean up soured debt from their books -- started seizing assets of delinquent firms or dragged them into insolvency.Indian banks wrote off a record $39 billion of loans in the 18 months through September in a bid to repair their balance sheets as they battled the world's worst bad debt pile. Making matters worse, a shadow banking crisis led to a funding squeeze, crushing debt-laden businesses that were critically dependent on rollover financing."Life has come a full circle for tycoons that had enjoyed debt-fueled growth," said Nirmal Gangwal, founder of distress and debt restructuring advisory firm Brescon & Allied Partners LLP. "Many firms collapsed like a house of cards. The downfall was rather unprecedented."The government has also been cracking down on economic crime to assuage public anger over absconding businessmen. It's even barred some from traveling overseas if they were deemed a flight risk.Here are some of the country's biggest and most-storied businessmen who saw their fortunes fade. Spokespersons for these tycoons didn't immediately reply to emails and text messages seeking comments.Anil AmbaniThe chairman of Reliance Group, which makes movies to metro lines, had a close shave with jail time in March before his elder brother and Asia's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, bailed him out at the last minute. The woes of the ex-billionaire came to the fore when India's top court asked him to pay Ericsson AB's India unit about $77 million of past dues or go to jail since Anil Ambani, 60, had given a personal guarantee. His telecom carrier slipped into insolvency this year, while unprofitable Reliance Naval & Engineering Ltd. faced a cash crunch. Reliance Capital Ltd. is selling assets to pare debt. Ambani is also fending off Chinese lenders in a London court.Malvinder & Shivinder SinghKarma caught up with ex-billionaires and brothers Malvinder Singh, 47, and Shivinder Singh, 44, and how. Scions of a prominent business family, they once helmed India's top drug maker and second-largest hospital chain. In October, the two were arrested on charges of fraudulently diverting nearly $337 million from a lender they controlled. India's market regulator found in 2018 that the brothers had defrauded their hospital company of about $56 million. The collapse of the $2 billion empire turned brother against brother, prompting their mother to broker a peace deal that was short-lived. In February, Malvinder accused Shivinder and their spiritual guru of fraud.Shashikant & Ravikant RuiaAfter a hard-fought battle to keep their flagship steel mill, the first-generation entrepreneurs finally saw the bankrupt Essar Steel India Ltd. pass on to ArcelorMittal last month. The $5.9 billion takeover was almost two years in the making with multiple legal wrangles. The group, controlled by Shashikant Ruia, 76, and Ravikant Ruia, 70, were also reprimanded by a U.K. judge in March this year for concealing documents. Started in 1969 as a construction firm, Essar Group diversified, investing about $18 billion between 2008 and 2012, and piled on debt. In 2017, the group had sold another prized asset, Essar Oil.V.G. SiddharthaBefore jumping off a bridge into a river in July in an apparent suicide, the founder of India's biggest coffee chain Cafe Coffee Day had penned a letter that spoke of pressure from lenders, a private equity firm and harassment by tax officials. He had spent much of the last two years pledging ever more of Coffee Day Enterprises Ltd. shares to refinance loans for ever shorter periods, at ever higher interest rates. "I would like to say I gave it my all," V.G. Siddhartha, 60, wrote in the letter. "I fought for a long time but today I gave up."Naresh GoyalThe former ticketing agent who built India's largest airline by value, stepped down as chairman of Jet Airways India Ltd. in March, caving in to pressure from banks who took over the company. Cut-throat price wars and surging costs pushed Jet deeper into loss. The airline stopped flying in April and went into bankruptcy two months later as lenders failed to find a buyer. In July, an Indian court barred Naresh Goyal from flying overseas after the government said it was investigating an alleged $2.6 billion fraud involving Jet Airways.Rana KapoorThe founder of Yes Bank Ltd., which became India's fourth-largest non-state lender, tweeted in September 2018 that his shares were invaluable and requested his children never to sell them upon inheritance. But trouble was brewing. The nation's banking regulator, which found the lender had repeatedly under-reported its bad loans, refused to extend his tenure as chief executive officer. This forced Rana Kapoor, 62, to step down by end-January. Kapoor, who has pledged some of his Yes Bank shares in July, sold almost his entire stake in the lender by October.Subhash ChandraThe rice trader-turned-media mogul, 69, who brought cable television into Indian homes in the early 1990s with his ZEE TV, resigned as chairman of Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. in November and lost control of his crown jewel. To help pay the debt of Essel Group, Subhash Chandra has been selling stake in Zee Entertainment in the past few months to repay group's debt.Gautam ThaparA default by Gautam Thapar, founder of the paper mill-to-power transmission Avantha Group, on pledged shares made Yes Bank Ltd. the biggest shareholder in CG Power and Industrial Solutions Ltd. In August, the firm was hit by an accounting scandal forcing the board to remove Thapar, 59, from the chairman's post. A month later, the market regulator ordered a forensic audit of the firm and barred Thapar from accessing securities market.--With assistance from Jeanette Rodrigues, Suvashree Ghosh and Anto Antony

Gautam Adani is going on $1.5 bn capital hunt

Posted:

MUMBAI: Adani Electricity Mumbai Ltd, the flagship power transmission and distribution company in Gautam Adani's empire, is set to raise up to $1.5 billion in what could be one of the largest overseas borrowing exercises by an Indian company in the New Year.The company, a subsidiary of Adani Transmission Ltd, is expected to raise about $1 billion via bonds and $400-500 million through syndicated loans, three people with direct knowledge of the matter told ET.The proceeds will be used to expand capacity and refinance loans taken to fund the acquisition of Anil Ambani's Mumbai power distribution company two years ago. Adani aims to reduce costs by tapping relatively cheap money available overseas. Currently, debt securities worth $11 trillion yield negative returns globally.The Adani Group did not respond to ET's email seeking comment on the matter.The proposed bonds will be offered globally, including in the US. The securities may be of sevenor 10-year maturity. The company is said to have sought ratings for the proposed issue, which could be investment grade, on par with India's sovereign rating. The proceeds from the bonds will be used to refinance loans taken to fund the acquisitions two years ago. "The company had taken loans from large local banks including ICICI Bank, SBI and Bank of Baroda with five- to sevenyear maturities, which it will pre-pay using the bond proceeds," said one person.The company is also in talks with foreign banks to raise up to $500 million through syndicated offshore loans, which will be used to expand capacity next year.The syndicated loans would be three- or five-year money and be priced after adding 250-275 basis points over and above the London Inter-bank Offered Rate. 73039252 "Such refinancing via dollar bonds should give the company a cost advantage even on a fully hedged basis," said an executive associated with the exercise.Adani Electricity was formed after the acquisition of Reliance Infrastructure Ltd.'s integrated generation, transmission and distribution utilities powering Mumbai city. Its distribution network spans over 400 sq. km and caters to the electricity needs of over 2.9 million customers.Adani Transmission acquired debt-laden Reliance Infrastructure's electricity generation, transmission and distribution business in Mumbai in an all-cash deal valued at Rs 18,800 crore ($2.6 billion) in December 2017. It was one of the largest corporate takeovers in the power sector.Barclays, Citi, Deutsche, JPMorgan, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group and Standard Chartered Bank are among the banks involved in the entire fund-raising exercise.The banks could not be contacted immediately for comment.Adani Transmission reported a total consolidated debt of Rs 17,909 crore at the end of September, a drop of 2.6% from a year earlier, according to ETIG Database. Interest costs, in proportion to total debt, increased 5.72% compared with a 2.71% rise a year earlier, according to ETIG calculations.Indian companies raised a record $30.25 billion in overseas borrowings this year as they exploited abundant overseas liquidity and overcame a tight domestic market that turned risk averse, ET reported on December 26.Adani Transmission agreed to sell a 25.1% stake in Adani Electricity Mumbai to Qatar Investment Authority for Rs 3,200 crore, the company said on December 11. This brings down the promoter's stake to 75%.

Modi's ministers will get less money to spend

Posted:

The finance ministry has cut the amount various ministries and department can spend in the last quarter to a maximum of 25% of their budget estimate for the entire financial year, citing fiscal situation.The earlier limit for the last quarter spending was 33%.Also, within the 25% cap on spending for January-March, only a maximum of 10% of the total budget can be spent in March against 15% earlier, the economic affairs department has said in an official memo."Considering the fiscal position of the government in the current financial year, it has been decided to cap the expenditure in the last quarter/last month of the current financial year…," it said.All ministries and departments have been asked to observe the guidelines "strictly & regulate the expenditure accordingly".The revised limit means that departments that have not yet substantially utilised their funds will not be able to spend the full budget amount this fiscal.The government is struggling to meet the fiscal deficit target of 3.3% of the GDP following muted growth in tax revenues because of an economic slowdown. India's growth fell to a six-year low of 4.5% in the July-September quarter.Also, the recent reduction in corporate tax to help revive the economy is likely to cost the government Rs 1.45 lakh crore. The government's fiscal deficit for April-October period was 2.4% more than the full year estimate.Ratings agencies such as Moody's Investor Services, Standard and Poor's (S&P) Global Ratings, and Fitch Ratings have already raised concerns about possible fiscal slippage.

IndiGo, Etihad show interest in Air India

Posted:

NEW DELHI: IndiGo, India's largest airline by market share, and Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways have met government officials and evinced interest in ailing national carrier Air India, a senior government official told ET."Representatives from these companies have met government officials and, unofficially, shown interest in the national carrier. The Tata Group, however, has not shown any interest yet," said the official, who sought anonymity.The government, which could not sell 76% in Air India last year, is offering 100% stake this time. But the response to road shows in Singapore and London were not encouraging.Officials said that they did, however, see interest from a couple of private equity investors. "There are these two companies and a couple of private equity investors who have shown some interest. An airline as big as Air India is unlikely to receive any more interest," said the official.The Centre is likely to come up with the expression of interest (EoI) documents by next month. 73039207 73039214 Among the two suitors, IndiGo can bid to own 100% in Air India but Etihad can own only 49% under the current foreign direct investment (FDI) norms.The norms allow a foreign carrier to own up to 49% in an Indian airline, but allow 100% foreign investment in an airline. This means Etihad can bid for 100% stake in Air India by tying up with either Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) or National Investment and Infrastructure Fund. The National Investment and Infrastructure Fund is an infrastructure investment company anchored by the Indian government, where ADIA is a key investor.Etihad, till recently, owned 24% in Jet Airways but decided against funding the financially crippled airline, leading to its grounding in April.Emailed questionnaires sent to IndiGo and Etihad had not elicited any response as of press time Monday.The government, which did not receive a single bid in its maiden attempt to sell Air India last year, is being cautious this time and has offered various relaxations, such as 100% stake in the airline, substantial restructuring of debt and liabilities and allowing the new owner to offer VRS to employees.According to the plan being discussed, the government will pay Air India's dues amounting to Rs 22,000 crore to vendors such as airports and oil companies before putting the airline up for sale. It may also waive the airline's entire working capital debt of about Rs 15,500 crore, so that Air India is left with a loan burden of about Rs 20,000 crore.According to the approved plan, Air India will be offered along with low-cost international subsidiary Air India Express as well as its 50% stake in ground-handling company Air India Singapore Airport Terminal Services.

Reliance sets up Jiomart to sell grocery online soon

Posted:

MUMBAI: Reliance Industries, India's biggest company by market value, has started its web portal Jiomart, harnessing the might of its two largest consumer-facing businesses to announce its entry into online food and grocery shopping by early next year.The app will connect both lastmile neighbourhood stores and consumers, leveraging data and technology capabilities of Reliance's telecom business Jio and the cash-and-carry infrastructure of its retailing arm.According to officials, the new venture will be an aggregator where it will partner local grocers and equip them with points of sale (PoS) terminals, low interest working capital, inventory management skills, and GST compliance.In January 2019, chairman Mukesh Ambani announced that group companies Reliance Retail and Jio would jointly launch a new ecommerce platform in the country.At present, services of the website with the tagline 'India ki nayi dukaan' are available in the outskirts of Mumbai, in suburbs such as Thane, Kalyan and Navi Mumbai. The site offers free home delivery, pre-registration discounts and options to buy more than 50,000 grocery products online."Kiranas are being registered and given POS machines with integrated billing applications. Also, it enables digital transactions, promotions including loyalty, discount coupons by fast moving consumer goods firms and supply chain management," said an official privy to the launch of the service.Reliance Retail had logged net sales of Rs 1.3 lakh crore last fiscal.

IPOs worth Rs 50,000 crore to light up Dalal Street next year

Posted:

ET Intelligence Group: Indian companies may mop up Rs 40,000-50,000 crore through the initial public offering (IPO) route in 2020, an analysis of the draft red herring prospectus (DHRP) filed by companies with the market regulator and pitch notes of investment bankers show.It would be nearly four times higher compared with the Rs 12,362 crore raised by 16 companies in 2019 on the main exchange boards, which was the lowest in five years.Among the prominent IPOs that may hit in the first half of the new year are SBI Cards & Payment (issue size of Rs 9,000-10,000 crore), UTI Asset Management Company (Rs 3,500-4,000 crore), Burger King (Rs 400 crore), Home First Finance (Rs 1,500 crore) and Computer Age Management Services (Rs 1500 crore). 73039343 The later part of the year may witness the public issues of Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders, Equitas Small Finance Bank, Emami Cement, Easytrip Planners (which operates easemytrip.com), Puranik Builders, Samhi Hotels, and Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency.Pranav Haldea, managing director at Prime database said, "There is a robust pipeline of IPOs if the secondary market continues to improve and assuming no major negative surprises from the Union Budget." According to Prime database, 21 companies having approvals from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) plan to raise nearly Rs 18,700 crore while 13 other companies are waiting for the approval to raise over Rs 18,000 crore."Sentiments have improved for the IPO market and enquiry levels from corporates have increased multi-fold. If market returns from the existing stocks become broader over the next two-three quarters, we may see fresh IPOs worth more than Rs 40,000 crore in 2020," said an investment banking head of a leading domestic private bank. "Our calendars are quite tight in the first quarter of 2020 and we have already scheduled road shows for five-six companies in Singapore, Hong Kong and the United States."Interestingly, the returns of the companies that debuted on bourses in 2019 are promising. Their median return was 42.6 per cent over their issue prices, according to the data compiled by the ET Intelligence Group.Stocks including IRCTC, Affle India, and IndiaMART Inter-MESH have doubled from their issue prices. Nearly four out of every five IPOs in 2019 earned returns for investors. The S&P BSE IPO Index, an index comprising companies that raised money in the past two years, rose by 36 per cent in 2019 compared with a gain of 13 per cent of the S&P BSE Sensex. 72990263 The fund raising from the rights issue and through qualified institutional placement (QIP) also gained prominence in 2019 as corporates needed capital to meet regulatory obligations. Fifteen companies raised Rs 52,053 crore from rights issue in 2019, the highest amount in five years.A major portion was accounted for by Vodafone Idea's issue of Rs 25,000 crore and Bharti Airtel's Rs 24,939-crore issue.Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) invested $3.9 billion in intitial public issues and qualified institutional placements of Indian companies during the year. They have also invested a net $9.9 billion through the secondary market.

Chinese phone companies may spice up premium space in 2020

Posted:

NEW DELHI: Aggressive Chinese smartphone companies Oppo, Vivo and Realme are set to challenge the dominance of OnePlus, Apple and Samsung in India's premium segment in 2020, likely pushing growth in the category to the fastest ever.Premium smartphones – those priced over Rs 30,000 – are expected to grow by 48% in 2020, according to Counterpoint Technology Market Research. Research firm TechArc expects a 30% increase in 2020."India's premium segment is still at a nascent stage, contributing just 6% to the market by volume. This is still low when compared to markets like the US and China, where the premium segment accounts for 50% and 22%, respectively," said Tarun Pathak, associate director at Counterpoint Research.With Oppo, Vivo and Realme entering the premium segment, consumers are set to have an abundance of choice, which will help expand the market at a faster pace than before, analysts said.Premium device shipments are expected to grow by 33% in 2019, while overall smartphone sales are expected to show muted growth - in single digits.73039208 Growth in smartphone sales will be about 5% in 2020, Realme India chief executive officer Madhav Sheth told ET earlier, as people hold on to their devices for longer due to lack of innovation in new models and higher average prices.In 2020, the category is expected to contribute 34-36% of the market by value, compared with less than 30% in 2019, according to TechArc.The premium market is dominated by OnePlus, Samsung and Apple, which had 35%, 23% and 22% share, respectively, in the third quarter of 2019, data from Counterpoint Research showed. Oppo, Vivo and Realme, which, like OnePlus, are owned by China's BBK, have already entered the category.Realme, an online-only brand, plans to go offline in 2020, hoping to disrupt the segment with a slew of premium launches.73039216
