Immigration effort to protect Dreamers collapses in US Senate
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43079903
The US Senate has failed to pass any of four proposals on immigration, including protections for young immigrants brought to the US illegally.
Support for the most promising bipartisan bill failed after President Donald Trump called it a "total catastrophe" and threatened to veto it.
The legislative collapse leaves the status of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (Daca) recipients in limbo.
The leading bipartisan bill was brought to the floor by Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
It offered $25bn (£177bn) for border security, including part of Mr Trump's border wall between the US and Mexico, as well as protections for Dreamers. But the White House railed against the bill, saying it would weaken enforcement of current law and encourage more illegal immigration.
The proposal fell short of the 60 votes needed, with 54 senators for it and 45 voted against the measure.
Despite the Senate's failed effort, lawmakers suggest there could be debate on attaching a short-term extension of protections for Daca recipients in a government funding bill that Congress needs to pass by 23 March to avoid a shutdown.

So it turns out that the Florida school shooter was NOT a white supremacist as the mainstream media reported.
The media fell for a 4chan troll and published it as fact, despite being completely unverified.
In their hysteria, the MSM have gone to a new low.
Literally FAKE NEWS.

US indicts 13 Russians for election interference
http://www.dw.com/en/us-indicts-13-russians-for-election-interference/a-42620599
US special counsel Robert Mueller and his team have charged 13 Russian nationals and three Russian companies with tampering in the country's political process, the US Department of Justice confirmed on Friday.
The indictment lists a multimillion dollar scheme with a timeframe from 2014 to the present, "including the presidential election of 2016."
The defendants are also accused of an elaborate plot "disparaging Hillary Clinton" and promoting the campaign of President Donald Trump using divisive fake social media posts and advertisements across a variety of platforms and purchased in the names of American citizens. The ultimate goal of the group was to "sow discord in the US political system."
A spokeswoman for the Russian foreign ministry dismissed the charges as "absurd."

Journalist Deniz Yücel returns to Germany after release from Turkish prison
http://www.dw.com/en/journalist-deniz-y%C3%BCcel-returns-to-germany-after-release-from-turkish-prison/a-42621077
Deniz Yücel arrived in Berlin on Friday evening after spending one year in a Turkish prison, held without formal charges on terror allegations. He was reunited with colleagues and friends upon his arrival at Berlin's Tegel Airport after departing Istanbul a few hours earlier on a chartered Aerowest plane.
The release of the German-Turkish journalist and his homecoming fulfilled a long-standing demand from the German government. However, five Germans and more than 100 Turkish journalists currently remain in Turkish prisons.
In addition, Turkey's Anadolu agency reported Friday that a court — in the same building that ordered Yücel's release — had sentenced six journalists to life in prison without parole for crimes against the state. The journalists, who include prominent figures such as Ahmet Altan, his brother Mehmet Altan and Nazli Ilicak, were accused of involvement in the July 2016 coup attempt, the first individuals to be charged in relation to the failed takeover.

Pressure mounts on FBI director to resign as Florida community reels
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-florida-shooting/pressure-mounts-on-fbi-director-to-resign-as-florida-community-reels-idUSKCN1G10BI
PARKLAND, Fla. (Reuters) - Pressure is mounting on the FBI director to resign after his agency admitted it failed to investigate a warning that the man accused of killing 17 people at a Florida high school possessed a gun and the desire to kill.
The disclosure spread angry disbelief among residents of the Miami suburb of Parkland where Wednesday’s massacre unfolded, and led Florida’s governor Rick Scott to call for FBI chief Christopher Wray to resign.
“The FBI’s failure to take action against this killer is unacceptable,” Scott, a Republican, said in a statement. “We constantly promote ‘See something, say something’, and a courageous person did just that to the FBI. And the FBI failed to act.”
Scott’s comments came after the Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a statement that a person described as someone close to accused gunman Nikolas Cruz, 19, called an FBI tip line on Jan. 5, weeks before the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, to report concerns about him.
“The caller provided information about Cruz’s gun ownership, desire to kill people, erratic behavior, and disturbing social media posts, as well as the potential of him conducting a school shooting,” it said.
That information should have been forwarded to the FBI’s Miami field office for further investigation, but “we have determined that these protocols were not followed”, it said.

Three suicide bombers have hit the town of Konduga in north-east Nigeria, killing at least 18 people.
Two attacked a fish market and a third struck nearby, security sources said.
Boko Haram jihadists are being blamed for the blasts, though the group has yet to say it was behind them.
The bombers struck on Friday evening in the town, which lies some 30km (18 miles) south-east of the Borno state capital, Maiduguri. Wider reports of the attack only emerged on Saturday.
Some reports speak of 19 dead - 18 civilians and a soldier. At least 50 more were injured.
