Trump Ordered Payments to Women Knowing It Was Wrong, Cohen Says

Image
The interview marked Cohen’s first since being sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to breaking campaign-finance laws by arranging the payments, as well as lying to Congress and banks. “Of course,” Cohen said when asked if Trump knew it was wrong to make the payments, adding that the purpose was to help Trump and his campaign. Trump said Thursday he never directed Cohen to break the law and said that, as a lawyer, Cohen should know what’s legal and what’s not. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2Gf2NE4 via Latest News

Macron says he won't place Europe before French grievances

Image
President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday he would never put Europe ahead of the demands of the French people, days after he caved in to a anti-tax revolt by announcing costly measures set to increase the French budget deficit. "No country can move forward if it doesn't listen to the legitimate anger of its people, an anger which is expressed everywhere in Europe," Macron told reporters ahead of an European Union summit in Brussels. The tax breaks and other measures he is offering to appease the yellow vest protesters are likely to push France's budget deficit above the European Commission threshold of three percent of GDP. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2Eu3mrH via Latest News

There will reportedly be two batteries as well, though that doesn't add much to the cost (total capacity is expected to be around 5,000-6,000mAh).

Western nations, some of which supply arms and intelligence to the Saudi-led coalition that intervened in Yemen in 2015, had pressed the two sides to agree confidence-building steps to pave the way for a wider truce and a political process to end the war, which has killed tens of thousands of people.
