Myanmar: US calls on China to hold junta accountable | News | DW | 31.03.2021

The US said China should use its influence to hold Myanmar’s military leadership accountable for the unrest that has so far claimed over 500 lives. Separately, the UN envoy on Myanmar warned that the country was on the brink of a civil war. Myanmar’s junta is facing daily protests since ousting the elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi on February 1. The military responded with a brutal clampdown that has left hundreds of civilians dead. On Wednesday, the US said it was continuing to call on China to hold those responsible for the coup “to account.” “What the junta has done in Burma is not in the interests of the United States. It’s not in the interests of our partners and allies, and it’s not in the interests of Beijing,” said State Department spokesman Ned Price.

San Francisco man who allegedly threatened to ‘shoot Chinese people’ arrested | San Francisco | The Guardian

Darrell Hunter, 45, was arrested Tuesday near the business in the Tenderloin neighborhood after the woman called police, officer Adam Lobsinger said in a statement.

The woman first called officers Sunday when she accused Hunter of entering the bakery and threatening to “shoot Chinese people”. The woman told officers it was the third day in a row Hunter had entered the store and caused a disruption. She said it was the first time she had called police because of the threat of violence, Lobsinger said.

She again called police Tuesday after she said Hunter returned and mimicked a gun with his hand. Hunter had left the business by the time officers arrived, but police found him a few blocks away and arrested him.

Veronica Escobar and Jim Darling on the increase in migrants crossing the border | The Texas Tribune

As more people are apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border, U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar and McAllen Mayor Jim Darling discuss what the situation means for Texas.

The increasing number of migrants seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border can be explained by poverty, violence and climate change, according to U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-El Paso.

“Until we address this strategically with humanity and with compassion, and with thought about our entire hemisphere, we will be having the same conversation every single year,” Escobar said.

Her comments came during a Texas Tribune event with McAllen Mayor Jim Darling. The conversation, moderated by Tribune Executive Editor Ross Ramsey, was recorded on Monday and shared online Wednesday.

Fontana man arrested on charges of assaulting officer in Capitol riot – Los Angeles Times

Daniel Rodriguez, 38, was accused of injuring a D.C. Metropolitan police officer with an electroshock weapon as the mob of Trump backers was forcing its way into the building in an attempt to block Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election. In an eight-count indictment unsealed Wednesday, a federal grand jury also charged Rodriguez with smashing a window of the Capitol and carrying deadly weapons — a flagpole and the electroshock weapon — during his unlawful presence in the building. Rodriguez is also accused of stealing one of the emergency escape hoods stored beneath the seats of members of Congress. Many lawmakers grabbed their hoods — designed for protection in a terrorist attack — as they fled the House and Senate chambers moments before the mob’s arrival.

Peace Corps announces second-ever domestic deployment to assist with vaccination efforts | TheHill

The Peace Corps is preparing to roll out its second-ever domestic deployment, recruiting volunteers to help assist with COVID-19 vaccination efforts.

The move is the first time since Hurricane Katrina in 2005 that the Peace Corps, which sends volunteers to serve in 61 countries around the world, will be deploying teams to help fellow Americans.

It comes a year after the Peace Corps evacuated all of its roughly 7,300 volunteers around the globe due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The program will only be open to evacuated volunteers, who will be serving in various Federal Emergency Management Agency posts.

Covid-19: Few people with symptoms are self-isolating, study finds – BBC News (Me: being dumb about health is epidemic and drives new surges of pandemic)

Just 18% of those with coronavirus symptoms said they had requested a test, while 43% with symptoms in the previous seven days adhered to full self-isolation, the BMJ study found.

Men, younger people and those with young children were less likely to self-isolate, as were those from more working-class backgrounds, people experiencing greater financial hardship, and those working in key sectors.

Common reasons for not fully self-isolating included needing to go to the shops or work, for a medical need other than Covid-19, to care for a vulnerable person, to exercise or meet others, or because symptoms were only mild or got better.

The findings are based on 74,697 responses to online surveys from 53,880 people aged 16 or older living in the UK.

Vaccine passports against ‘British instinct’ – Starmer – BBC News (Me: Total BS – if you travel to some areas you must have proof of vaccination for – cholera, diphtheria, typhoid fever, yellow fever, Hep A&B – before you can return to UK)

The Labour leader says there could be opposition to vaccine passports if the virus is under control.
