SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korean investigators raided the Seoul office of McDonald’s Corp on Wednesday following a series of complaints that children fell ill after eating hamburger patties alleged to have been undercooked, Yonhap News Agency and other media said.
|
The Seoul central district prosecutors’ office confiscated some documents and evidence at the office and three other companies, including an ingredient supplier, the reports said.
|
A spokeswoman at the office confirmed the raid to Reuters but gave no reason or details. Prosecutors could not immediately be reached for comment on the issue.
|
“We take this matter very seriously,” company spokeswoman Karen Kim said. “McDonald’s Korea continues to fully cooperate with all relevant authorities.”
|
In July, a consumer filed a complaint against the U.S. firm, saying her 4-year-old daughter was diagnosed with hemolytic uremic syndrome, often referred to as hamburger disease, after suffering irreversible kidney damage following the consumption of a McDonald’s hamburger last year, Yonhap said.
|
Complaints also were filed by parents of four more children who became sick after eating McDonald’s burgers.
|
In August, consumers at a McDonald’s in the southwestern city of Jeonju reported stomach aches and high fever after eating bulgogi burgers. The chain temporarily halted sales of the burgers, launched in 1997, to determine the cause.
|
Last year, talks to sell McDonald’s South Korean business to domestic firm KG Chemical Corporation collapsed over what KG called “a large difference of opinion.” [nS6N1BG01F]<|endoftext|>I trusted Mr. Moore. He was the District attorney. I thought that he was simply doing something nice by offering to drive me home. I did not want to wait outside in the cold so I agreed.
|
I wanted to call my boyfriend but this was before cell phones and I had no way to contact him. My home was only about two and a half miles away. I planned to call my boyfriend after I got home to let him know that I had gotten a ride home and that there was no need for him to pick me up.
|
Mr. Moore was wearing brown hush puppies on his feet. He drove a two door car. I believe that it was an old car, but I do not recall the model. I got into his car in the passenger seat. He began driving. I thought he would get on the highway, but instead he drove to the back of the restaurant. I was not immediately alarmed as there was an exit from the back of the restaurant to the street and he could drive from there to my house without getting on the highway. However, instead of driving to the street he stopped the car and parked his car in between the dumpster and the back of the restaurant where there were no lights. The area was dark and deserted. I was alarmed and I immediately asked him what he was doing.
|
Instead of answering my question, Mr. Moore reached over and began groping me, putting his hands on my breasts. I tried to open my car door to leave, but he reached over and locked it so I could not get out. I tried fighting him off, while yelling at him to stop, but instead of stopping he began squeezing my neck attempting to force my head onto his crotch. I continued to struggle. I was determined that I was not allow him to force me to have sex with him. I was terrified. He was also trying to pull my shirt off. I thought that he was going to rape me. I was twisting and struggling and begging him to stop. I had tears running down my face.
|
At some point he gave up. He then looked at me and said, “you are a child. I am the District attorney of Etiwah County. If you tell anyone about this, no one will believe you.” He finally allowed me to open the car door and I either fell out or he pushed me out. I was on the ground as he pulled out of the parking area behind the restaurant. The passenger door was still open as he burned rubber pulling away leaving me lying there on the cold concrete in the dark.
|
I got up and tried to pull myself together. I was making my way to the front of the restaurant when my boyfriend arrived. It was late and it was dark. I did not say anything to him as to what had occurred as he had a violent temper and I was afraid that he would do something that would get him into trouble. When I got home I went to my room. The following morning my neck was black and blue and purple. In the days following I covered the bruising on my neck with makeup. I did not tell anyone about what had happened. I was scared. I felt that if I told anyone Mr. Moore would do something to me or my family. I decided to keep what happened to myself.
|
The day after Mr. Moore assaulted me I called the restaurant and quit my job. I never went there again.<|endoftext|>U.S. Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.) and his wife, Debbie, at a legislative forum at the Southern Wayne County Regional Chamber in Southgate, Mich., on Feb. 24, 2014. (Max Ortiz/Detroit News via AP)
|
Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.), the longest-serving member of the House, has a few ideas about how Capitol Hill could function more productively.
|
His tenure has seen 11 presidents, hundreds of members of Congress and, as Dingell described it: "... the privilege of watching Washington change from a little town in the woods into a major city of international proportions."
|
But as he prepares to leave office later this year, Dingell let loose during an event at the National Press Club, declaring that Congress is broken and unproductive — and that it hasn't always been and doesn't need to be this way.
|
"This is not a Congress that is working. But it could be. And frankly, it should be," Dingell said.
|
Here are some highlights of Dingell's hour-long talk and Q&A.
|
On the Supreme Court and Citizens United:
|
Dingell leveled some of his harshest criticism at the Supreme Court, specifically with regard to the 2011 Citizens United decision, which allowed unlimited spending by Super PACs, prompting a flood of money in congressional races.
|
"Any layman reading the Citizens United decision will assume that surely this was no way written by a group of intelligent individuals," Dingell declared. "Or people even remotely aware of what is going on in our current political structure."
|
Dingell said that by taking extremely literal stances in the Citizens United and other cases, the Supreme Court has allowed millions of dollars to flow into political races, which he said will have dire consequences for democracy.
|
Later in the event, Dingell was asked about his "less than kind" comments about the high court.
|
"I thought they were quite kind, as a matter of fact," Dingell quipped.
|
On congressional committees:
|
Dingell traced much of the congressional inactively to the size of congressional committees and sub-committees. He recalled serving on three- and four-member committees decades ago. Now, he said, too many committees number into the hundreds.
|
"The committees are too large, and should be shrunk," he said.
|
On Obama:
|
"He didn't get us into Iraq. He wasn't involved in Watergate. He's run a pretty honest administration."
|
On his wife's campaign for his seat:

|
On his fellow members of Congress: Dingell expressed frustration that many of those who now run for Congress do so, seemingly, in order to gain fame and recognition, and that not many are willing to put in the time to truly amass influence on the Hill. "It's become, in too many instances, a money chase," Dingell said. "An instance where it is the goal of members to have the name of a committee on their letterhead."

|
Among the factors driving this is the no-tax pledge championed by Grover Norquist, Dingell said. "We also have many in Congress who wish to do nothing more than shrink the size and scope of the federal government," Dingell said. "As redistricting creates more and more safe seats, we see members more focused on winning primaries and not about the public interest. ... There is no incentive to stick one's neck out and to compromise."
|
Much of the speech called for compromise and bipartisanship, but Dingell acknowledged that there seems to be little chance of actually achieving that kind of harmony between Democrats and Republicans in Washington. "Some kind of national event which forced the members and the leadership to do that," Dingell said, when asked what, if anything, could resurrect a spirit of bipartisanship. "But beyond that ... a wiping out of almost all of the entire membership by seeing to it that the voters threw us all the hell out of Washington and installed their own people in our place."

Advice to reporters:<|endoftext|>Last year, former US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Tom Wheeler proposed a rule that would prevent internet providers from selling customers’ private data to third parties without their consent; the rule passed in October 2016 with clear guidelines for how ISPs must secure permission before sharing information like browsing history and location data with advertisers.
|
Now, that ruling is under threat, as the Senate is set to vote on Thursday on whether to roll it back and once again allow ISPs like Comcast and AT&T to once again have their way with your data.
|
There’s no benefit for consumers in this; if your ISP can sell your data, you’ll likely be subject to more spam and targeted advertising than before, and your broadband provider will be able to make more money by granting you a connection than it already does.
|
If you’re wondering how we got here, the answer is the same as it almost always is with government policy: follow the money. Vocativ reports that the 22 Republican senators behind the move have received more than $1.7 million from the telecom industry since the 2012 US election.
