Question: What the GOP memo says (and doesn't say)

WASHINGTON | After more than a week of partisan bickering and social media-fueled buildup, the #releasethememo crowd got their wish.
President Donald Trump declassified it. The GOP majority of the House intelligence committee released it. And the public dissection of the four-page, GOP-authored document began.
Here are a few key takeaways:
WHAT’S THE GIST?
The memo makes a series of allegations of misconduct on the part of the FBI and the Justice Department in obtaining a warrant under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, to monitor former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page.
Specifically, it takes aim at the FBI’s use of information from a former British spy, Christopher Steele, who compiled a collection of memos containing several allegations of ties between Trump, his associates and Russia.

The memo says the FBI and the Justice Department didn’t tell the FISA court enough about Steele’s role in an opposition research effort. The research was funded by Democrat Hillary Clinton through a Washington law firm.
The document also takes aim at several senior FBI and Justice Department officials. Among them is former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, who it says knew of Steele’s anti-Trump leanings and whose wife worked at the firm behind the opposition research effort.
WHAT’S NEW?
The memo provides the first formal government confirmation of the secret FISA warrant and that Page was the person being monitored.
Information like that is ordinarily considered among the most tightly held national security information, and it almost never gets released to the public.
Though the memo takes issue with the FBI’s methods, it also confirms that the FBI and Justice Department believed there was probable cause that Page was acting as an agent of a foreign power and a judge agreed — four times over.
The memo fills in the timeline of the Russia investigation, showing that Page was under surveillance for months.
According to the memo, the Justice Department and FBI obtained the FISA warrant on Page on Oct. 21, 2016, and then had it reauthorized three additional times.
Given that FISA warrants must be renewed every 90 days, the memo indicates that the government monitored Page’s communications for nearly a year.
IT STARTED WITH PAPADOPOULOS
The whole Russia investigation, that is.
According to the memo, information about former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos “triggered the opening of an FBI counterintelligence investigation in late July 2016.”
That’s significant because Trump and his allies in the GOP have tried to undermine the Russia investigation by saying it all stems from the Steele dossier.
The memo doesn’t provide further details about the information the FBI received about Papadopoulos. But it appears to confirm in part reporting by The New York Times late last year that FBI concerns about Papadopoulos started the investigation.
Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI last year. Court papers show he had several contacts with people representing themselves as being tied to the Russian government starting in the spring of 2016.
Court papers show that Papadopoulos learned the Russians had “dirt” on Hillary Clinton in the form of “thousands of emails” prior to that information becoming public.
THE FBI DID USE INFORMATION FROM STEELE, THOUGH
The memo says Steele’s collection of reports “formed an essential part” of the FISA application for Page, but it doesn’t specify exactly what information was used or how much.
It also says that the FISA application relied on a September 2016 Yahoo News article, and claims that the information in the article also came from Steele.
The document quotes former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe as telling the House intelligence committee in December that “no surveillance warrant would have been sought” from the FISA court “without the Steele dossier information.”
According to the memo, the application also included “Steele’s past record of credible reporting on other unrelated matters.”
NO UNDERLYING INFORMATION RELEASED
The accuracy of the memo is hard to assess because the majority of the underlying contents are classified or confidential.
The memo cites an initial FISA warrant application — a document which usually has dozens of pages — as well as three additional renewals by the court. None of those documents are public.
The same is true of the transcripts of the committee’s closed-door interviews with McCabe and other senior FBI officials who had contact with Steele.
On Friday, the committee’s ranking Democrat, Rep. Adam Schiff of California, took issue with the memo’s characterization of McCabe’s comments, saying the former FBI deputy director was speaking generally about how any FISA application relies on “each and every component” included.
But the committee’s chairman, Rep. Devin Nunes of California, said late Friday on Fox News the description of McCabe’s comments is “a summation of a long interview and that’s definitely what he said.” He noted that other witnesses have said “similar things.”
‘MINIMALLY CORROBORATED’
It’s been a burning question ever since the dossier was published by Buzzfeed News last year: How much did the FBI corroborate?
According to the memo, not much at the time the FBI obtained the FISA warrant on Page. The memo cites FBI Assistant Director Bill Priestap as saying FBI corroboration of the dossier was in its “infancy” when the court authorized the first FISA warrant.
It also says an “independent unit” in the FBI conducted a “source validation report” on Steele’s reporting and found it “only minimally corroborated.”
But without the underlying documents or transcripts of Priestap’s testimony, it’s hard to judge the accuracy of the memo’s description.

As for Trey Gowdy, he took some heat today after he said nothing in the Nunes memo discredited the Mueller investigation:
It is important for the American public to know if the dossier was paid for by another candidate, used in court pleadings, vetted before it was used, vetted after it was used, and whether all relevant facts were shared with the tribunal approving of the FISA application. — Trey Gowdy (@TGowdySC) February 2, 2018
While this memo raises serious concerns with the FISA process, I have been and remain confident in the overwhelming majority of the men and women serving at the FBI and DOJ. — Trey Gowdy (@TGowdySC) February 2, 2018
As I have said repeatedly, I also remain 100 percent confident in Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The contents of this memo do not – in any way – discredit his investigation. — Trey Gowdy (@TGowdySC) February 2, 2018
Well, since Nunes had Gowdy actually read the FISA application, then maybe it’s Gowdy who we should be listening to?

Question: AG directive protects religious objectors to LGBT rights

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

WASHINGTON >> In an order that undercuts protections for LGBT people, Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a sweeping directive to agencies Friday to do as much as possible to accommodate those who say their religious freedoms are being violated.
The guidance, an attempt to deliver on President Donald Trump’s pledge to his evangelical and other religious supporters, effectively lifts a burden from religious objectors to prove that their beliefs about marriage or other topics are sincerely held.
Under the new policy, a claim of a violation of religious freedom would be enough to override concerns for the civil rights of LGBT people and anti-discrimination protections for women and others. The guidelines are so sweeping that experts on religious liberty are calling them a legal powder-keg that could prompt wide-ranging lawsuits against the government.
“This is putting the world on notice: You better take these claims seriously,” said Robin Fretwell Wilson, a law professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. “This is a signal to the rest of these agencies to rethink the protections they have put in place on sexual orientation and gender identity.”
Advertisement
Trump announced plans for the directive last May in a Rose Garden ceremony where he was surrounded by religious leaders. Since then, religious conservatives have anxiously awaited the Justice Department guidance, hoping for greatly strengthened protections for their beliefs amid the rapid acceptance of LGBT rights. Religious liberty experts said they would have to see how the guidance would be applied by individual agencies, both in crafting regulations and deciding how to enforce them. But experts said the directive clearly tilted the balance very far in favor of people of faith who do not want to recognize same-sex marriage.
“Except in the narrowest circumstances, no one should be forced to choose between living out his or her faith and complying with the law,” Sessions wrote. “To the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law, religious observance and practice should be reasonably accommodated in all government activity.”
The Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian law firm, called it “a great day for religious freedom.” The Human Rights Campaign, a national LGBT-rights group, called the guidelines an “all-out assault” on civil rights and a “sweeping license to discriminate.”
The new document lays the groundwork for legal positions that the Trump administration intends to take in future religious freedom cases, envisioning sweeping protections for faith-based beliefs and practices in private workplaces, at government jobs, in awarding government grants and in running prisons.
In issuing the memo, Sessions is injecting the department into a thicket of highly charged legal questions that have repeatedly reached the U.S. Supreme Court, most notably in the 2014 Hobby Lobby case that said corporations with religious objections could opt out of a health law requirement to cover contraceptives for women.
The memo makes clear the Justice Department’s support of that opinion in noting that the primary religious freedom law — the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 — protects the rights not only of people to worship as they choose but also of corporations, companies and private firms.
In what is likely to be one of the more contested aspects of the document, the Justice Department states that religious organizations can hire workers based on religious beliefs and an employee’s willingness “to adhere to a code of conduct.” Many conservative Christian schools and faith-based agencies require employees to adhere to moral codes that ban sex outside marriage and same-sex relationships, among other behavior.
The document also says the government improperly infringes on individuals’ religious liberty by banning an aspect of their practice or by forcing them to take an action that contradicts their faith. As an example, Justice Department lawyers say government efforts to require employers to provide contraceptives to their workers “substantially burdens their religious practice.” Separately Friday, the Health and Human Services Department allowed more employers with religious objections to opt out of the birth control coverage rule in the Affordable Care Act.
Session’s directive affirms Trump’s earlier directive to the Internal Revenue Service not to enforce the Johnson Amendment, which bars churches and tax-exempt groups from endorsing political candidates. The policy has only rarely been enforced in the past.
The department’s civil rights division will now be involved in reviewing all agency actions to make sure they don’t conflict with federal law regarding religious liberty. Tony Perkins, head of the conservative Family Research Council, in a statement lauding Trump, said his group has set up a hotline for federal employees and others who feel they’ve faced discrimination over their religious beliefs.

Question: Rumor the German shepherd wins best in show

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title.

By BEN WALKER
NEW YORK (AP) — Quite a rally for Rumor — a commanding comeback for German shepherds, too.
Rumor was crowned America’s top dog Tuesday night when, a year after a near miss, she came out of retirement to win best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club.
Cheered loudly all around the ring by a packed crowd at Madison Square Garden, and clearly the crowd favorite, she’s just the second German shepherd to win the event that began in 1877.
“Unbelievable,” handler and co-owner Kent Boyles said.
In a year that’s seen lots of late, startling twists in sports — think Patriots, Cubs and Cavaliers — Rumor pulled a shocker. She’d been at home in Wisconsin for months, a house pet headed toward having puppies, when she suddenly jumped back into the show ring in January.
Boyles is a fan of the Green Bay Packers and star quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Seeing a pet go from the couch to this top prize, heck, that’s a dog world Hail Mary.
Rumor beat out a Norwegian elkhound, a Pekingese, a miniature poodle, an Irish setter, a boxer and a Norwich terrier in the final ring. The Irish setter called Adrian finished second.
“The German shepherd standard talks about quality and nobility,” judge Thomas Bradley III said. “When you recognize it, it hits you at home, and that’s what it really is. She is just magnificent.”
The 5-year-old Rumor is named for the Adele hit song “Rumor Has It.” This was the 104th career win for Rumor, and earlier in the day, Boyles said that this would definitely, for real, be her last major show.
“She’s going to be relaxing for a while,” Boyles said after the win, but ultimately, there are “puppies in her future.”
Rumor joined the fittingly named Manhattan in 1987 as the only German shepherds to go best in show at the Garden.
There were nearly 2,800 dogs entered in the 141st Westminster canine competition, spread across the 202 eligible breeds and varieties.

The Westminster Dog Show began 140 years ago, and now for the first time we go behind-the-scenes access to the months leading up to Best in Show.

Question: A DISCUSSION ON THE PLIGHT ON INDIAN FARMERS

Shri. Sanjay Dalmia, leading philanthropist and industry leader hosted an afternoon for activist and author Kota Neelima’s book Widows of Vidharbha: Making of Shadows, that chronicles the life of 16 widows of Indian farmers. The evening was followed by a panel discussion between Ms. Neelima and Mr.Dalmia offering an insightful perspective. The panel was moderated by senior journalist Ms. Gargi Parsai, who has extensively written on farmers’ suicide, agriculture, food, water resources, rural development, gender and health issues.
They tabled their views on the various development lead policies of the government on farmers. Ms. Kota Neelima said, “The government and political parties deal with farmers like patrons, deciding who does and doesn’t deserve support. However, when it comes to corporate, the same state trusts businessmen with not just massive loans but friendly policy. The question has to be asked: Is it really a democracy where the rich get what they want and the farmers commit suicide because he is invisible to the state?”
Mr. Sanjay Damia talked about the initiatives and contributions by the industry leaders towards the farmers. His recommendations to the governing bodies as well as other fellow Indians looked at enhancing and uplifting the status of farmers in our country. He said, “Farmers’ suicides and government apathy are closely linked to each other. Progressively, governments have, in their quest of appeasing the city denizens and corporate India neglected those who till the land and fill our plates with food.”
Hard loan terms, shifty markets, and zero progress in the technology enhancement of the agricultural sector have rendered the farmer helpless. Even the proposed reserve price is too small a support to offer.
The talk was attended by city’s significant personalities including Ms. Anshu Khanna, Ms. Sushmita Clays, Laxmana Dalmia, Jai Madaan, Parul Mahajan, Amber Paridhi Sahai at the Dalmia House, 9 Tees January Marg, New Delhi.

Question: India opens 1st Partition museum 70 years after bloody event

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title

AMRITSAR, India (AP) — In the 70 years since India and Pakistan were created from the former British Empire, there has never been a venue focused on the stories and memorabilia of those who survived that chaotic and bloody chapter in history — until now.
A new museum on the Partition of the Indian subcontinent opens this week, as the two South Asian giants mark seven decades as independent nations.
The exhibitions are housed in the red-brick Town Hall building in the north Indian border city of Amritsar. They include photographs, newspaper clippings and donated personal items meant to tell the story of how the region’s struggle for freedom from colonial rule turned into one of its most violent episodes.

While few hours are left to cherish the spirit of Independence in India, the neighbouring nation, Pakistan, broke into celebrations of its 70th Independence Day, on Monday. Amid the prevailing tension at borders, the Pakistani rangers presented sweets and gifts to the Indian forces at the Attari-Wagah Border to mark the occasion. The two nations are completing 70 years of Independence after the partition post British Rule in 1947. This was facilitated by the British parliament passing the Indian Independence Act 1947, thereby giving recognition to Pakistan.

Question: Man To Plead Guilty To Buying Weapons Used In San Bernardino Attack

represent the article to find a fitting news title

Enrique Marquez Jr., 25, of Riverside, Calif., is accused of purchasing the assault rifles used in the San Bernardino terrorist attack, and has agreed to plead guilty to federal criminal charges.
Benjamin Gottlieb of member station KCRW tells our Newscast unit:
In his plea, Marquez admits that his friend, Syed Rizwan Farook, paid him for the assault rifles used to kill 14 people and injure 22 others in December of 2015. That's when Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik opened fire at a holiday party of Farook's coworkers at the Inland Regional Center. Marquez also admits he conspired with Farook in 2011 and 2012 to attack Riverside City College (RCC) — as well as commuter traffic on a major freeway in Southern California. Those plans never materialized.
U.S. Attorney Eileen Decker said, "While his earlier plans to attack a school and a freeway were not executed, the planning clearly laid the foundation for the 2015 attack on the Inland Regional Center."
Prosecutors say there is no evidence that Marquez participated in the San Bernardino attack or had advance knowledge about it.
He did acknowledge that he was a "straw buyer" when he purchased two high-powered rifles used in the San Bernardino attack.
According to a Justice Department statement:
"Straw purchasers are criminals who are the beginning of the chain of violence in our country," said ATF Special Agent in Charge Eric D. Harden. "It is purchases like Marquez's that led to the terror on that tragic day in San Bernardino. The crime goes beyond making a false statement on a government form. It puts guns in the hands of criminals who will victimize the community. In this case, the straw purchase is as reprehensible as the attack."
Mandy Pifer, whose boyfriend Shannon Johnson was killed in the terror attack, told The Associated Press that Marquez's plea agreement brought mixed emotions:
"It's a hell of a day to come out, Valentine's Day," the 42-year-old Los Angeles resident said. "I'm relieved that it won't be a long trial. If it'll be finished sooner, I'm all for it." She said she planned to speak at Marquez's sentencing about the impact her boyfriend's killing has had on her. In his last moments, Johnson huddled with a colleague under a table, shielding her from the bullets. "It is what it is," she said. "Nothing's going to bring him back."
Marquez is expected to formally enter his guilty pleas Thursday morning.
He has been in custody since he was ordered detained at his initial court appearance in this case on Dec. 17, 2015.
Marquez faces up to 25 years in federal prison.

Question: Traffic police launch crackdown on cabs running without billing machine

KATHMANDU: Traffic police in Kathmandu on Saturday have launched a crackdown on taxis running without computerised billing machine.
The campaign is being run in coordination with the Nepal Bureau of Standards and Metrology.
According to traffic police, more than 3,500 taxis have not installed the machine. Some others have installed it, but do not use.
Spokesperson at the Metropolitan Traffic Police Division, Lokendra Bahadur Malla, says taxis running without such machine are being taken under control by police since Saturday.
Then, police call drivers and owners of detained taxis and release them only after making them sign an agreement to install the machine immediately.
In past two days, more than 100 taxis have been impounded.
Earlier, the Bureau had given them a deadline of July third week to install the machine.

MORE THAN a year after the state directed vehicles to install speed governors to curb accidents, scores of vehicles not in immediate need of renewal of permits continue to ply without the device, even as the Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) in the city claim they strictly comply with the order while conducting fitness checks.
All goods carriers (including multi-axel trucks), tempos, school buses and tractors (used for mass transport) have been asked to install the device.
On Sunday, senior Congress leader Sanjay Chaupane, the secretary of the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee, died and other leaders were injured in an accident in Aurangabad. The SUV in which they were travelling reportedly collided with a bus at Bhendala Phata on the Aurangabad-Gangapur Road.
Records from the traffic department revealed that 21,365 road accidents have taken place in the state in the first six months of 2016 compared to 18,730 in 2017. Of the 18,730 accidents recorded this year, 10,665 led to serious injuries and 6,394 were fatal.
“We are scrutinising whether vehicles have installed the speed governors. When vehicles come for renewal of fitness certificates and checks, we advise the owners to install the governors if they are not in place. We also keep fitness checks on hold if the device has not been installed,” a senior RTO official said.
The directive to install speed governors in vehicles was issued in April last year and the government had asked owners of kaali peelis to get the devices by May this year. It had also limited their speed to 80 kmph. Upon requests from taxis and transport associations asking for more time to install the devices, the government extended the deadline August 31.
“Speed governors are required for safety. Many drivers tell us that they are not finding the right kind of governors for their vehicles and that is delaying the installation. After August 31, we will be strict against errant vehicles,” the official added.
A senior police inspector from the highway police department said: “While we do not immediately check for requirement of speed governors in transport vehicles. Our flying squads keep a check on speed of vehicles and adherence to traffic rules on roads.”
Transport expert A V Shenoy said: “In most cases, absence of speed governors in heavy vehicles takes a heavy toll on smaller vehicles involved in a crash. As many vehicles still do not see the presence of airbags as a safety measure, the result of such accidents are hazardous. Also, many places on expressways and highways have black spots where accidents happen in large numbers. Ensuring speed control as a precautionary measure for these spots is a must.”

More than 40 schools across Denbighshire have shut their doors as a result of heavy snowfall.
On Sunday, The Horseshoe Pass remained closed all day. A majority of bus services operated with a few exceptions.
Denbighshire County Council have advised residents not to travel unless “absolutely necessary”, particularly in the South of the county.
On Twitter, the Council wrote: “Just a reminder to take care out there today. The main roads have been gritted but there is black ice wherever the snow melted yesterday and the pavements are very slippery.”
A yellow weather warning for ice is currently in force.
A statement on the Met Office website read: “Ice is expected to form across many places overnight into Monday morning. Some injuries are likely from slips and falls on icy surfaces as well as icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.
“As well as this lying snow from Sunday will continue to be a hazard leading to longer and potentially hazardous journeys.”

Question: Of course Samsung just fired shots at Apple in its new Galaxy Note 8 teaser

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title!

In the immediate wake of the fiasco that was the explosion-prone Galaxy Note 7, a number of pundits thought that Samsung would never be able to recover from what was arguably the biggest PR nightmare in tech history. Samsung, though, managed to do that. Not only did the company move past the controversy, it has since enjoyed some of its more profitable quarters in company history.
Looking ahead, Samsung is about to take another stab at it with the forthcoming Galaxy Note 8. Said to launch this fall, recent reports claim that pre-orders for the device will open up on September 1st followed by a launch on September 15. More recently, though, there are rumblings that the device may hit store shelves as early as August 24, just one day after the company’s Unpacked event set to take place in New York City.

Regardless, the larger takeaway is that the Note 8 release date is approaching fast. In turn, Samsung earlier today published a new teaser video for the Note 8 where it promises to “Do bigger things”, a likely reference to the device’s garguantuan 6.3 Super AMOLED display.
The video also seems to take a few thinly veiled shots at Apple. With music blaring, the video begins by showing words that Android fans typically use to deride Apple, only to see them be crossed out and replaced with words that arguably describe Samsung. For example, the words “update” and “closed” are crossed out and promptly replaced with “innovate” and “open”, respectively.
The full video can be seen below.
For as much as people are anticipating the iPhone 8, the Note 8 proves that Apple’s iconic device won’t be the only intriguing new smartphone on the market this fall. Spec wise, the device will reportedly run Android 7.1.1, and will ship with 6GB of RAM, a 12-megapixel shooter on the back complemented by a telephoto lens, and a 8 megapixel camera on the front.

Question: AFL trade news: Cameron Guthrie contract, free agent, Geelong reaches impasse

this news article should be represented to find a fitting news title

CONTRACT negotiations between Geelong and gun free agent Cam Guthrie have hit a hurdle, with the two parties reportedly reaching a deadlock.
After the Cats locked away gun utility Mark Blicavs earlier this month, the out-of-contract Guthrie looms as one of Geelong’s next list management priorities.
But Fairfax Media reports that the Cats and Guthrie’s management have “reached an impasse” over an extension to keep the 25-year-old at Kardinia Park.
LIVE Stream every match of every round of the 2018 Toyota AFL Premiership Season. SIGN UP NOW >
The report suggests there’s a disagreement over Guthrie’s dollar value, despite the club believing it’s tabled a fair new deal.
When the AFL released its annual list of free agents in March, Guthrie was categorised as a restricted free agent, meaning he’s in the top 25 per cent of Geelong’s highest-paid players.
Should Guthrie opt to explore his free agency options, the Cats would have the right to math any offer put forward by a rival club.
Guthrie is one of several key Cats sidelined due to injury throughout various stages of the season to date. He hasn’t played an AFL game since damaging the syndesmosis joint in his right ankle midway through Geelong’s clash against West Coast in Round 3.

Guthrie is edging closer to a return after successfully completing individual training programs. He’ll step up his training load this week with the main group but on modified duties.
“(Cam) is progressing well and has joined the main group after that ankle surgery and we think he is also in consideration in the next couple of weeks,” Geelong physio Mark Young told the club’s website earlier this week.
Guthrie is one of three free agents at the Cats, with unrestricted free agents George Horlin-Smith and Daniel Menzel both out of contract at season’s end.

Like Guthrie, Menzel has been sidelined for a significant period of time due to injury, but has also stepped up his training load this week.
Horlin-Smith has been on the fringes of Geelong’s best 22 for seemingly most of his stint at the Cats, playing just 51 games across eight seasons.
The 25-year-old has had ample chances to leave Geelong for more senior opportunities elsewhere, but has turned them down on every occasion, with Horlin-Smith’s loyalty highly respected within Geelong.

Question: Afghan, Pakistan officials meet in Kabul to talk differences

represent this text to find a news title for it

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Pakistani and Afghan officials have met for a second round of talks about allegations levelled against Islamabad in the wake of recent deadly militant attacks in Kabul that have killed over 200 people.
A joint statement after the day-long meeting in the Afghan capital said the two sides promised to keep talking.
After the recent attacks, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani's government has insisted Pakistan's failure to rout Taliban militants from safe havens on its soil is spurring the insurgency inside Afghanistan.
Kabul also accused Islamabad of harboring the Taliban, who are allegedly being trained in Islamic seminaries in southwestern Pakistan.
Pakistan denies the charges.
Islamabad says Saturday's meeting was part of a larger dialogue while the Afghans billed it as a response to their accusations against Islamabad.

Question: Boris in Union Jack underpants? Musical comedy finds the fun in Brexit

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

Members of the cast James Witt, as Boris Johnson, and James Dangerfield as Michael Gove, perform in 'Brexit-The Musical' at the Edinburgh Fringe, in Edinburgh, Scotland, Britain August 11, 2017.
EDINBURGH (Reuters) - A retelling of Britain's vote to leave the European Union and its dramatic political consequences might perhaps be framed as high drama or extreme farce.
But audiences at the Edinburgh Festival are lapping up a light-hearted sung comedy version, "Brexit The Musical", a sellout featuring a cavorting Boris Johnson, the most prominent Brexit campaigner, in matching Union Jack underpants and socks, looking for a lost plan.
On hearing the news that "Leave" has won, Johnson, who in reality surprised many with his decision to campaign to leave the EU and is now Britain's foreign secretary, sings in horror: "Leaving Europe will be a catastrophe/ Overnight we'll bugger the economy."
Britons voted to leave the EU in June 2016, but since then a host of unforeseen political consequences, including a snap election in which the Conservative government lost its majority, have mired the country in uncertainty. There is still no clarity about what Brexit will mean in practical terms.
In the comedy version, David Cameron is relieved, once he has resigned as prime minister after the vote, that he no longer has to pretend to be an ordinary man of the people. Michael Gove, Boris's pro-Leave sidekick and in reality now agriculture secretary, sports a tartan dressing gown and fluffy slippers and just wants to be liked.

And for the leader of the main opposition Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, the Brexit vote means above all that he has to miss the Glastonbury music festival.
Slideshow (10 Images)
With the political outlook still confused a year after the Brexit vote took place, the show's writer, 39-year-old EU trade lawyer Chris Bryant, told Reuters the show was meant as "an escape from the dreary reality of where we are".
An almost-happy ending, which cannot be revealed in print, is the stuff of fiction, he said. Bryant thinks it more likely that Britain will end up cutting all formal ties with the EU.
"I think we are heading towards a colossal mess, and I'm of the view that we will end up with a 'hard Brexit' almost by accident, rather than by design."
The show will run for the whole month of the Festival, and Bryant hopes to take it to London.

Jeremy Corbyn’s new Lords Chief Whip, Glaswegian bruiser Tommy McAvoy, was asked by nervous fellow peers if it was true that in his days as a Commons whip he threatened MPs who feigned illness to avoid a vote with a thermometer to check if they were really ill. ‘Aye,’ grunted McAvoy. ‘I used a rectal thermometer – and I’ve still got it. I’ll bring it in next week.’

Brexit-backing Tory MPs fretting that the perpetually smirking David Davis is no match for ‘silky but sullen’ EU talks chief Michel Barnier have a new ally – Davis’s formidable wife Doreen. The Brexit Secretary has admitted even ‘my wife tells me off for smiling too much’.
Westminster? What a hole, says Claire
The billions being spent revamping the crumbling Palace of Westminster will no doubt delight Business Minister Claire Perry. She has privately told fellow Tory MPs that she backs anything to improve Ministers’ rooms in the bowels of the Commons or, as she describes them, ‘s***hole offices blocked by shipping containers, no mobile signal and builders having burping competitions outside while I’m holding meetings’.

Question: Golf-DeLaet leaps into contention with stunning four-hole stretch

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Graham DeLaet bookended back-to-back eagles with a pair of birdies in a stunning four-hole stretch to charge into contention at the PGA Championship on Saturday.
After a birdie at the par-three 13th, the Canadian then went eagle, eagle, birdie -- six-under-par for the four holes -- en route to a three-under 68 at Quail Hollow.
DeLaet, two-under for the tournament and five shots adrift of leader Kevin Kisner, was as surprised as anyone by the run, which came after what had been a mediocre round up until that point.
He had even needed a pep talk from his caddie after being "bummed out" by a double-bogey at the 11th.
“It’s fun to do that at a regular tour event but at a PGA Championship that’s pretty cool,” said the world number 117.
"It's something I'll probably always remember. And the nice thing about it was it put me in a position where something really special tomorrow can (happen).
"Probably gonna take a special round, but you never know."
DeLaet’s run started when he almost made a hole-in-one with a six-iron at the 13th, his ball stopping on the edge of the cup. He almost aced the 301-yard par-four 14th as well, his tee shot with a three-wood running over the hole before stopping eight feet beyond, from where he sank the eagle putt.
“I almost had three (eagles) in a row because I hit it to an inch the hole before," he said.
"I left that ball hanging on the lip (at the 13th and then I) hit the hole on the next one, the par-four.
"That's where I turned to (my caddie) and said, 'Man, I could have just gone one, one,' but going two, two is pretty good on those holes too."
DeLaet's charge continued with a 12-foot eagle putt at the par-five 15th before he sank a 45-footer for birdie at the par-four 16th.
“That was just a bonus, are you kidding me?” he said of the 16th. "When that putt went in, you shake your head and it was pretty unreal."
The 35-year-old is still seeking his first victory on Tour, and a major would not be a bad way to start.
Afflicted with a chronically bad back, he underwent microdiscectomy surgery in 2011, the same procedure Tiger Woods has undergone, and is health is a day-to-day issue.
“I’ve been on the (treatment) table a lot this week,” he said. “I haven’t done any practising. Today was the best that it felt.
"It was painful with every swing but it didn't affect me for the first time this week, so that was nice." (Additional reporting by Larry Fine; Editing by Peter Rutherford; )

REUTERS: Rickie Fowler's storming finish vaulted him to the top of the Waste Management Phoenix Open leaderboard on Saturday after the American signed for four-under 67 and a one-shot lead heading into the final round.
Fowler, who began the day tied for the lead, made a slow start and was one-over through seven holes but roared back into contention with five birdies thereafter, including three straight from the 16th at TPC Scottsdale in Arizona.
His 14-under-par 199 total leaves him one clear of in-form Spaniard Jon Rahm, Chez Reavie and Bryson DeChambeau. Five-times major champion Phil Mickelson is in a group of three players a further shot adrift on a packed leaderboard.
World number two Rahm, a fan favourite who played college golf in Arizona, shook off a disappointing finish to his second round with a six-under 65 that included five birdies from the 11th.
The 23-year-old Rahm already has a win and a second this season as he continues his quest to usurp world number one Dustin Johnson at the top of the rankings.
World number four Justin Thomas made a fantastic start to his round when he vaulted into contention by starting with six consecutive birdies to reach 12-under, but a back-nine collapse saw the American tumble back down the standings at six-under.

Question: Most people in B.C. too ‘lazy,’ ‘apathetic’ to prepare for disasters: poll

Represent this text to find a news title for it

Less than half of those surveyed aren’t insured for earthquakes and wildfires
An example of an emergency preparedness kit. (City of Victoria photo)
British Columbians have no one to blame but themselves for not being ready for an emergency, a survey commissioned by the provincial government suggests.
Fifty-four per cent of the more than 1,200 respondents said they have a draft emergency plan, according to results released Monday suggest, but only 13 per cent of them have actually completed one.
Emergency kits were also lacking around the province: Only four in 10 people have one in their car, and only three in 10 have one ready at home.
And there’s no good reason why: most people cited “personal laziness” and “apathy.”
Most British Columbians had some emergency supplies, but key items were lacking.
Only 60 per cent had prepared at least four litres of water per person per day, and less than half had cash in small bills, a battery-powered or hand-crank radio, a whistle or a dust mask.
If the worst did happen, most people weren’t prepared to rebuild, either.
Around half of people living in Metro Vancouver and on Vancouver Island were insured against earthquakes, and less than half of southern Interior and northern residents were covered for wildfires.
All around, most people admitted they didn’t really understand how their insurance worked or what it covered.

New survey says one-fifth of respondents are even changing up their summer plans
Two-thirds of British Columbians say the high gas prices are making them change their habits, according to a new poll released Wednesday
Prices at the pump have been hovering around 160 cents a litre for weeks now, and show no signs of dropping.
Nearly half of those surveyed by by Insights West said they’ve reduced the number of times they use the car and 38 per cent said they’ve reduced the distance they’re driving.
And it’s not just driving: one-third of respondents said they’ve have cut how much they spend on entertainment and food to cover higher fuel costs.

More than half told pollsters they thought gas prices were a “very serious” concern.
Many British Columbians were pessimistic about the ever-increasing gas expense. Forty-three per cent said they thought higher prices were the new normal and almost three-quarters believed prices would be even higher by July.
It’s even having an effect on summer plans: 20 per cent of people said they’ve changed their activities to rely less on cars.
Only three per cent said they’ve spoken to their MP or MLA on the issue.

Question: Five Former Razorback Targets Who Got Away

The recruitment: One of only four in-state five-star recruits in the Rivals era, Michael Dyer was as "can't miss" as they come. He finished his high school career with a state-record 8,097 rushing yards and 84 touchdowns, prompting pretty much every program in the country to pursue him. The No. 11 overall prospect in the Class of 2010 narrowed his choices to Arkansas, Auburn and Tennessee before ultimately committing to the Tigers. Making it sting even worse for fans is that not only did he pass up the Razorbacks, but in doing so, he chose to play for then-Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn. The career: Though he clearly possessed raw and untapped potential on the football field, (23 carries for 184 vs. Florida St.) he could not do what was necessary of a college athlete to stay on the field. Whether legally or academically, Dyer fell just short of reaching the mandates set forth by NCAA rules for being eligible to play. He bounced around 4 colleges in 4 years before finally going undrafted in the 2015 NFL draft. Not only undrafted, Dyer made the Oakland Raiders later that year by attending a camp tryout. He carried 31 times for 70 yards that season before being released. Dyer never played another snap in the NFL. He was signed a year later by a CFL team before subsequently being released shortly after. A lot of talent that just unfortunately never manifested into a consistent threat on the football field, mainly due to his lack of ability to be on the field in big games.
The recruitment: Similar to Dyer, Dorial Green-Beckham - known by many simply as "DGB" - put up incredible numbers in high school. He broke the national career receiving record with 6,353 yards and was the No. 1 overall recruit in the Class of 2012. By most accounts, the decision came down to Arkansas and Missouri. Considering the Razorbacks had won 21 games with Bobby Petrino's high-flying offense over the previous two seasons and the Tigers were about to make the jump from the Big 12 to the SEC, Arkansas seemed to be the favorite. However, in front of a national television audience on ESPNU, DGB picked the home state Tigers. The career: He didn’t get off to a huge start in his freshman year at Mizzou, recording 28 receptions and 395 yards, but he showed his talent in his sophomore year when he accumulated 59 catches for a total of 883 yards (nearly 15 YPC) with 12 TDs. However, like the young man before, ran into trouble off the football field that led to issues on it. In 2014, was investigated for domestic violence claims and ultimately kicked off the team. He later transferred to OU, where he never played a game. Despite not playing for two years, he was drafted by the Tennessee Titans in the 2nd round. DGB played two seasons in the league, his first for the Titans and then later traded to the Philadelphia Eagles. In total, he gathered modest numbers of 68 catches with 941 yards to spare. He showcased deep play potential at the next level with 10 catches of 20+ in 2016 with the Eagles, but despite this, remains unemployed in the pros.
The recruitment: Two years later, Arkansas fans once again had their hopes for a big-time commitment dashed on ESPNU. With offers from many big-time programs, four-star defensive end and No. 37 overall recruit Solomon Thomas narrowed his choices down to Arkansas, Stanford and UCLA before National Signing Day. Despite a late push by the Razorbacks and his sister being a student at Arkansas, he pulled a tree out from underneath a table and put on taped-up glasses to commit to Stanford. The career: This one hurts quite a bit still, given how close the Razorbacks were and how impactful he proved to be on the field. His true freshman year was redshirted at Stanford, but his RS freshman year was outstanding. He finished with 39 tackles, 10.5 for loss, and added 3.5 sacks as well. This was enough to earn him an honorable mention on the PAC-12’s All-American squad. He finished their bowl game against Iowa with a sack and four tackles (2 for loss). However, he was only just beginning his collegiate dominance. He followed that very good season with a legendary one in his RS sophomore campaign. Eight sacks and 62 tackles (15 for a loss) were the totals he accumulated along the way to a season that culminated in several All-American honors, the Morris trophy for Best Defensive Player in the Pac-12, and a truly dominant showing in his final bowl game vs. North Carolina (7 tackles, 2 for loss, sack). These great seasons were enough to earn his status as one of the very best draft prospects in all of college football in 2017. He was subsequently taken 3rd overall by the San Francisco 49ers, who view him as an essential piece to a team that was once viewed as a rebuilding franchise, but has now transitioned into a contender in large part due to the acquisition and development of various young players such as Thomas.
The recruitment: The Class of 2015 had a chance to be one of the best in-state hauls in UA history, as the top seven players in the state - including five four-star recruits - were committed to Arkansas at one point. That group was highlighted by K.J. Hill, who starred on the gridiron and hardwood at North Little Rock. Despite committing to the Razorbacks at the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in August before his senior year, he ended up decommitting in January and signing with Ohio State on National Signing Day. The career: He was a phenom when he was signed, praised by many to be one of the greatest players to come out of the Natural State. However, this talent hasn’t yet come to fruition in regards to producing consistent, game-changing totals at the collegiate level. He has produced respectable totals of 76 catches and 812 yards with four TD’s over 3 years (1 of which being redshirt). He still has the talent, the coaching, the platform, and the surrounding teammates to be an impactful player at the next level, though.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — DeMarcus Cousins will spend the rest of the 2016-17 NBA season walking on eggshells.
Having already served a league-mandated suspension for accruing 16 technical fouls, Cousins faces subsequent one-game bans for every two additional violations. Subduing emotion has always been difficult for the All-Star big man, but now the penalty for failure is more severe than ever.
Every incident that could produce a shout, scowl or diatribe against officials suddenly comes at a steeper price. Errant hands to the face of Donatas Motiejunas get extra scrutiny, for example. Reactions to low blows from Buddy Hield, obvious no-calls and every other potential outburst could result in another team-crippling suspension.
And you'd better believe it's weighing on Cousins.
"I don't know how to be myself anymore," he said softly from his locker stall at the Golden 1 Center on Friday night.
The Kings had just engineered a 22-point comeback to steal a win from the visiting Atlanta Hawks, but more importantly, it was Cousins' first night back from his initial suspension. He admitted the threat of future discipline affected his performance. Hence the miniature existential emergency.
"It's well known I'm a very emotional player," Cousins later explained to Bleacher Report. "I play with a lot of passion, a lot of emotion. I know that's what makes me the player that I am. When I'm kind of crucified for how I play, and they want change, it's hard for me to be the same type of player...It's just me trying to find the balance. I'm trying to make the adjustment, I'm trying to make the change for the better."
Can he sustain his productivity while snuffing out the fire that led to his suspension? And can he do it as the pressure of the season's stretch run intensifies?

Cousins understands the stakes. He knows his team is within sniffing distance of the franchise's first playoff berth since 2007. And he knows one game lost to suspension here or there could be the difference between reaching what he's called his only goal and falling short again.
"The guy's trying so hard," head coach Dave Joerger said. "He's an emotional player, so it's like he's playing with one hand behind his back if he can't ever say anything. He doesn't want to hurt the team. He doesn't want to get another technical."
Cousins survived the comeback win against Atlanta without incurring tech No. 17, but it was no easy thing. He was sluggish, visibly frustrated and unable to hide the strain of, well...restraint. Is his effectiveness divisible from his emotion?
"I'm dealing with my own demons right now," he said. "I've got to focus on what's going on at the moment, and I did a terrible job of that."
Two nights later, Cousins was assessed a first-quarter technical foul for an errant swing of the arm that caught New Orleans Pelicans forward Motiejunas in the face. In order to compose himself, Cousins actually left the floor and went to the locker room.

"It was kind of hard for me with that one because of the situation that had just occurred where I come back and the slightest thing and I'm back (facing suspension)," Cousins said. "It's hard, but I had to gather myself, refocus and get back to the main objective which is winning the game. I've got to walk the straight and narrow. It's all I can do."
Sacramento won that game as well, getting 28 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists from its best player—despite an ejection-triggering groin shot from Pelicans guard Hield. It was as if the basketball gods were testing Boogie. To his credit, he passed. Plenty of players with less volatile reputations would have snapped in that situation.
But so many more games lie ahead. So many more trials have yet to be undertaken. And, again, Cousins' margin for error is basically nil.
How he handles the challenge he's helped create for himself (despite protestations about unfair treatment from officials, he is partly responsible for his situation) will either signal the kind of growth so many have been waiting to see or reaffirm the doubts that have dogged him for years.

He'll have help.
"I lean on all my teammates, not just Matt (Barnes). But he is the voice of our team. Everybody leans on Matt when times get hard because he's been through it all, seen it all on all levels."
Barnes, like Cousins, is no stranger to image problems.
"He's got a tough rap—the reputation he's earned," Barnes told ESPN-Tencent's Yuan Fang. "Whether it's good or bad. We both have bad and that took me my whole career to change mine and it hasn't worked. He just has to be able to adjust within his reputation and still be himself. He has to keeps his head."
Barnes has been a calming figure all season, which may seem odd given his volatile reputation. He commands respect like no on else on the roster, and you can see it in the locker room and on the floor. When the Kings found life in the second half against Atlanta, they did so after Barnes gathered his teammates together at the foul line before the third quarter.
When he motioned for a huddle, everyone—Cousins included—hustled over, leaned in close and listened to the veteran as he clapped his hands and exhorted them to perform.
"I thought Matt did a good job of really talking to us the whole game," Darren Collison said. "He was the leader when things weren't going well."
This is about more than Cousins' personal journey, though. The Kings have professed commitment to their big man, with general manager Vlade Divac saying Cousins won't be traded. A contract extension worth upwards of $200 million will likely come by July.
Cousins could validate that faith by adjusting his behavior and upping his level of play. Or he could falter and, in doing so, force the Kings to reconsider their committed stance. Worse still, he might come up short and get that max extension anyway, which would effectively consign Sacramento to another half-decade of maddening sub-mediocrity.
We've seen a lot from DeMarcus Cousins over the last six years.
He's got six weeks to show us something more.
Kings Insider's Notebook
Free Willie
Joerger is loath to play Willie Cauley-Stein with Cousins, which is probably frustrating for fans who'd like to see athleticism like this alongside the proven productivity of an All-Star big man:

But Sacramento's defense has been untenably bad in the 119 minutes the duo has played together, and it's only gotten worse as the season has worn on. In 50 minutes since Jan. 1, the Kings have allowed 118.1 points per 100 possessions with Cousins and Cauley-Stein on the court.
That's not to say Cauley-Stein's without his uses. Lately, his energy and rim-rolling prowess have charged up the Kings' scrappy second unit. He put up 14 points, five rebounds and four assists in a Feb. 8 win over the Boston Celtics.
"He's getting to balls that are outside of his area, and I think he's a lot more comfortable with our defensive schemes and also our offensive schemes where he can find seams to get to the rim."
In limited minutes as part of a unit with Anthony Tolliver, Matt Barnes, Ben McLemore and either Darren Collison or Ty Lawson, Cauley-Stein has solidified himself as a rotation player with upside. That's good timing by him, as Cousins figures to miss a few games before season's end, which will free up minutes in the middle.
Return of the Mac
Does it count as a return if Ben McLemore's viability as an NBA player was never really certain in the first place?
Rather than worry about the details, check this out: McLemore is tearing it up since regaining a role after six consecutive DNPs.
In February, he's averaging 13.3 points per game and hitting 50 percent of his threes. His 22 points and 6-of-10 effort from long distance were vital in Friday's win over Atlanta.
"He's always been a good shooter to me, it was just a matter of time for him to really turn the corner," Darren Collison said. "One thing about Ben, even when he wasn't playing, he was always in the gym. First one in the gym, last one to leave."
Cousins, as you'd expect, was more forthright: "Ben is like a little brother to me. It's bigger than basketball, just to see him remain positive, remain professional through the bulls--t and things not going his way ... I think he's hitting his stride. I think that good karma's coming around for him now."
Digging Holes and Microcosms
It's fitting the Kings are scrambling to make up ground in the West after an uninspiring first half of the season (or 50-plus games, as the case may be). Because that seems to be the way they operate.
Here's proof:
Kings False Starts Quarter Offensive Rating Defensive Rating Net Rating First 100.7 111.9 -11.3 Second 103.5 111.4 -7.9 Third 108.8 104.9 +3.9 Fourth 108.9 105.9 +3.0 NBA.com
On the one hand, failing to show up for games before halftime is a concern. But, on the other, the Kings have been forced to develop resiliency.
"Our fight and our heart is undeniable," Cousins said. "I believe everybody here can agree with me on that. That being said, we can't keep putting ourselves in that position. We gotta make these games easier for ourselves."
Not getting blasted in every first quarter (the Kings lost all three opening periods in their three-game winning streak) would be a good start.

Question: Comic Ralphie May dies of cardiac arrest at 45

represent the article to find a fitting news title

LOS ANGELES — A spokeswoman for Ralphie May says the comedian has died. He was 45.
In a statement Friday, publicist Stacey Pokluda says May died of cardiac arrest. She said he had been fighting pneumonia, which caused him to cancel a few appearances in the past month.
His body was found Friday morning at a private residence in Las Vegas.
On Wednesday, the round-faced May was named casino comedian of the year at the Global Gaming Expo. He was booked through the rest of 2017 at Harrah’s Las Vegas.
May, a Tennessee native who was raised in Arkansas, parlayed a second-place finish on TV’s “Last Comic Standing” in 2003 into TV and club appearances.
His publicist said May’s survivors include his wife, Lahna Turner, and children April June and August James.
May was a guest on the WGN Morning Show.

Photo by: Al Levine/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank(NORTH CAROLINA) — Night Court and Cheers actor Harry Anderson was killed by a stroke, according to a coroner’s report obtained by TMZ.
The 65-year-old actor, who had suffered a long bout of flu and a series of strokes earlier this year, the gossip site notes, suffered what’s called a “cardioembolic cerebrovascular accident” — essentially, another stroke — on April 16, before he was found unresponsive by his wife in their home in Asheville, North Carolina.
The ruling appears to confirm what Anderson’s good friend and fellow actor, Philip Proctor, wrote in a Facebook post the day of Anderson’s death that he, “passed away quietly in his sleep of unknown causes after contacting the flu several months ago and experiencing some mild strokes while in hospital.”

Two drivers were caught speeding on the M6 Toll at more than 110mph today - with one hitting 119mph.
Traffic cops stopped both drivers as they zoomed along the toll road this on Easter Monday lunchtime.
The first was driving a black Volkswagen and notched a top speed of 119mph on the southbound side - he told officers he was “running late for a birthday party”.
About an hour later another speeder was pulled over on the M6 Toll. This one has been caught driving at 114mph.
Both have been told they will have to attend court.

The news follows that of two other drivers being caught hitting excess speeds on the region’s motorway recently.
On Friday, April 7, a car was clocked doing 100mph on the M6 in Warwickshire and later that same evening a lorry was spotted by police on the nearby M69 hitting speeds of 88mph.
Again both drivers were given summons to appear in court.
