Shaky ground: House Speaker @placeholder faces an uncertain political future following wranglings over the fiscal cliff and further criticism for not pushing a vote on a Sandy relief bill
|
By Toby Harnden In Washington John Boehner's job as Speaker of the House of Representatives is under threat after just 85 members of his Republican caucus voted for a fiscal cliff deal that 151 opposed and nearly all Democrats backed. To add to his woes, Boehner - who faces re-election as Speaker on Thursday - has been lambasted by New Jersey's Governor Chris Christie, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, for failing to bring to a vote a $60billion relief bill for those affected by Hurricane Sandy. Governor Christie denounced the 'disappointing and disgusting' spectacle of fiscal cliff manoeuvrings that showed a 'callous indifference' for the people of New Jersey.

A nurse at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, who cared for an Ebola-stricken colleague, has revealed today that medical staff were woefully ill-prepared for the crisis and even given supposed protective clothing with gaping holes at the neck.

New York (CNN) -- The U.S. soldier accused of killing 16 Afghan civilians engaged in fraud during his career as a financial adviser and skipped out on paying nearly $1.5 million to an elderly client, according to financial records. Before joining the military in late 2001, U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales was accused of multiple instances of securities fraud. That includes a May 2000 complaint alleging Bales bilked over $600,000 from an elderly Ohio couple's retirement fund, according to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, an independent securities regulator. "We were taken advantage of," said Gary Liebschner, a former client of Bales. "He took an awful lot of money from us that he turned into commissions for himself."

But while Keith Urban notes the strength of the female lot, he's not counting out the boys, especially Lazaro Arbos. "There are some really good girls singers, but when you see a guy like Burnell [Taylor] or even more so Lazaro and the way he connects with an audience — he comes out and sings and they go crazy. They love him and the votes have really reflected that," Urban told reporters.

Winston was not arrested in connection with the alleged December 2012 incident, but he still could be charged by his university with a code-of-conduct violation for sexual misconduct, depending on the results of the school's investigation.

Any such mission to kill al-Baghdadi would have to be approved by Obama, according to several defense officials CNN has spoken to at length. All of the officials have direct knowledge of the intelligence gathering efforts in Iraq, but declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the information. "He is a person of great interest to us," one defense official told CNN. If the U.S. military were to recommend a drone strike against al-Baghdadi, there would have to be specific and detailed intelligence showing his location at the moment of a strike and intelligence to assure that civilians would not be at risk. In order to launch a kill mission, the U.S. has to demonstrate the target poses a threat to the U.S. Al-Baghdadi's ISIS organization does threaten the U.S. Embassy and U.S. citizens in Iraq, according to U.S. officials.

But the little Russian girl, dubbed 'Mowgli' girl in fact owes her life to the Alsatian puppy after they got lost together in the Siberian wilderness - where she then survived for 12 days and nights. Karina Chikitova became lost with her pet after following her father into a snowy Siberian forest full of wolves and bears in October last year. Naida had been keeping Karina warm at night but after nine days returned home to summon help. Rescuers found her footprint three days later next to a paw print near a river, where they had drunk water. So the emergency workers knew they were in the right area of the Sakha Republic, Russia's largest region and only slightly smaller than India.

President Barack Obama will sign legislation imposing new economic sanctions on Russia, as the U.S. claims some credit for sparking Moscow's roiling currency crisis and moves to deepen the pain. The Russian economy has been in a downward spiral for months, but President Vladimir Putin has managed to maintain political support at home. However, White House officials acknowledged there were no guarantees Russia's economic woes and another round of sanctions would compel Putin to curtail aggressive actions in Ukraine. It comes as German Chancellor Angela Merkel pursues a policy of engagement and has spoken with Putin how he could go about imposing a comprehensive ceasefire in war torn Ukraine.

By Alex Greg for MailOnline and Reuters Harold Hamm is an unlikely billionaire: the 13th child of Oklahoma sharecroppers whose identity as a self-made man could just be his downfall in his impending divorce battle. Hamm, the founder and CEO of Continental Resources, is the world's 34th-richest person in the world, with a personal fortune of an estimated $20.3 billion. The oilman is in the second week of a divorce hearing from his wife of 25 years, Sue Ann, and experts say the only way he can avoid paying half of his assets - and possibly losing a controlling share of his company - is to argue that his fortune is the result of sheer dumb luck.

She added the investigation was prompted entirely by developments in the US, and that the regulator had no specific grounds to suspect wrongdoing by the banks' Korean branches. New York state regulators this week accused StanChart of breaching sanctions against Iran through illicit transactions -- which the bank denies -- while HSBC took a $700m charge last month to cover US fines over its Mexican division's failure to prevent money laundering.

Rubio, a potential rival of @placeholder's for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, was careful not to criticize the New Jersey Governor's actions, saying he does not know all the details.
|
Williamsburg, Iowa (CNN) -- Florida Republican Senator and possible presidential hopeful Marco Rubio told CNN he believes that the nurse who was quarantined in New Jersey is a "hero." In an interview in Williamsburg, Iowa, Rubio said Kaci Hickox is "someone that went abroad and was willing to literally put her life on the line in the service of her fellow man." Hickox is in a public spat with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie over her 65-hour mandatory quarantine after returning from West Africa, which she argues was unnecessary. There is a dispute between state officials and Hickox about whether she was showing symptoms that required quarantine.

(CNN) -- The decision to give Osama bin Laden's son-in-law civilian, not military, treatment has reignited passionate differences of opinion on which type of justice is appropriate for someone who wages war on the United States. Several Republicans insist that Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, the bin Laden relative who was also al Qaeda's chief spokesman, should be sent to the detention compound in the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. Abu Ghaith pleaded not guilty Friday in U.S. District Court to charges of conspiring to kill Americans as part of terrorism. Civilian prosecution "makes little sense, and reveals, yet again, a stubborn refusal to avoid holding additional terrorists at the secure facility at Guantanamo Bay despite the circumstances," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said of the administration's decision.

But when asked if the @placeholder should take over the cemetery where he will one day join his wife, Koch said, "They couldn't do any worse."

Washington (CNN) -- Retired Air Force Col. William Koch Jr. is a Vietnam veteran. His wife, Jean, died in 2005, but he didn't know where she was buried in Arlington National Cemetery until last year. Koch blames the U.S. Army, which runs Arlington, and he told Congress on Thursday to "keep after 'em." Koch is among dozens of survivors whose loved ones were buried in wrong or mismarked graves. It's an ongoing scandal at the nation's most hallowed burial ground for its fallen service members. Problems began in the early 1990s, according to a Washington Post investigation, and continue to this day with more revealed this week.

(CNN)It's a wild, wet West. Mysterious filth rained down on Walla Walla, Washington. Gales knocked trees down -- and power out -- in Northern California. And then they whirred over Nevada's mountains with hurricane force. More rain is on the way. A new storm marching in from the Pacific promises to leave a total of nearly 10 inches in spots along the coast between Saturday and Tuesday, the National Weather Service said. That may cause mild to moderate flooding, particularly around rivers and streams. Already on Friday, some cars got stranded in flooded streets in Washington's Jefferson County, and some residents exited their front doors aboard inflatable boats pulled by rescue crews.

A priest has been found dead of a gunshot wound to the head in Mexico's southern Guerrero state, his diocese said Friday. Rev. Gregorio Lopez Gorostieta's death marks the latest in a series of abductions, attacks and highway robberies against Roman Catholic clerics in the state which is dominated by drug cartels. He is the third Catholic priest to have been killed in the region this year, and the first to die since the federal government launched a special, stepped-up security operation in the area following the disappearance of 43 teachers' college students three months ago.

Click here to read the FA Cup Final match report from Wembley. Mesut Ozil was signed by Arsenal to be the matchwinning difference in their biggest games, but in the club's most pivotal match of the campaign the German international again failed to live up to the hype and expectation during their FA Cup Final 3-2 comeback win against Hull City. The Gunners' record £42.5million transfer for the midfield maestro in September was met with mild fanfare by fans at the start of the season as they looked to end their nine-year trophy drought. However, the former Real Madrid star proved relatively ineffective against Steve Bruce's side in another disappointing big-game performance.

On December 10 last year a huge crowd rallied in Moscow. The people were fired up about alleged election fraud and fed up with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. It was unprecedented in the country's post-Soviet history. Unthinkable in Putin's Russia. It inspired predictions of a Russian Winter to rival the Arab Spring. Now three months, and several huge opposition rallies later, Putin looks certain to be elected president again. So what happened? The big protests were ultimately triggered by claims that widespread cheating boosted the results for Putin's United Russia party in December's parliamentary election -- claims the Kremlin denied. But there were other factors. Putin's announcement three months earlier that he would bump Dmitry Medvedev and seek the presidency again for himself was a key moment.

By Euan Crumley His first outing on Hampden’s glistening new track could hardly have gone better, but Chris O’Hare still wasn’t completely happy with his performance. ‘I can’t be mad with it because it was a personal best, but if I’d held back a bit on the back straight and really gone for it with 200 metres to go then I think I could have maybe gone 3.33 high/3.34 low,’ he says of his 1,500m display at the Glasgow Grand Prix meeting, which saw him finish fifth in a time of 3:35.06.

A sports anchor's argument with an 'erratic' house painter who has pulled a gun on clients in the past led to him being shot 10 times outside of his suburban home. KFMB-TV's Kyle Kraska, 48, hired shooting suspect Mike Montana to work on the outside of his house in the Scripps Ranch area of San Diego months before he was gunned down in his Mercedes on Tuesday. The broadcaster was dissatisfied with the job so paid the 54-year-old for the work he had done before the pair parted ways. For months the disgruntled Montana, who has pulled a gun on customers who owed him money in the past, left threatening notes at the journalist's home.
