Question: Brexit news: Rees-Mogg warns May must avoid soft Brexit at ALL costs

Represent this text to find a news title for it

The Tory Brexiteer demanded the Cabinet reject any type of customs deal with the European Union that would not stand by the commitments made in the Conservative Party manifesto. Speaking on Channel 4 News, Mr Rees-Mogg said: “It’s not for me to issue warnings to the Prime Minister. I fully support the Prime Minister. But I cannot guarantee to support a policy that doesn’t deliver on the manifesto commitments.” During this week’s crunch Brexit meeting at Chequers, Mrs May is expected to propose a so-called "third-way" arrangement that would see the UK stay in a single market with the EU indefinitely. It has been trailed at the "softest possible Brexit." The plans are expected to potentially allow the European Courts of Justice to have a say on trade disputes and see Britain enter a single market on goods with Brussels.

It would be a cheat on the British electorate to do that which was not in the manifesto Jacob Rees-Mogg
In response to speculation about Britain being forced into a soft Brexit, Mr Rees-Mogg demanded the Prime Minister stick to the Tory manifesto. He said: “What is best for the country is sticking for the manifesto so that is the great opportunity and it is also what people voted for. “Politicians must be honest. It would be a cheat on the British electorate to do that which was not in the manifesto. “It would be a cheat on the referendum result. And I believe in politicians sticking to their word. He added: “I’m saying the future of this country depends on following what 17.4 million people said and that is leaving the European Union and then being free to set and chart our own course.
“It is an enormous opportunity and will help us be prosperous in the next century.” Mr Rees-Mogg, who is the chairman of the European Research Group, demanded the Prime Minister must stick to her original mantra that “no deal is better than a bad one”. He said: “If we don’t get a deal, no deal is better than a bad deal or a WTO deal. Trading with the EU on a WTO deal will make us prosperous. “It will free us from EU regulation, from EU laws, from the requirement to follow whatever we are told by Brussels. This will be a great liberation, economic as well as social for this nation.” Writing in The Telegraph column, Mr Rees-Mogg warned the Prime Minister could face a coup if she does not deliver on Brexit.

Following the election results, the Conservatives have been left scrambling to form a minority government with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP).

Question: Trump Condemns White Supremacists Two Days After Charlottesville Violence

represent the article to find a fitting news title.

US President Donald Trump — under pressure to explicitly condemn a weekend rally by white supremacists in Virginia that ended in bloodshed — denounced racism as "evil" Monday, singling out the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis as "repugnant." (NICHOLAS KAMM/AFP/Getty Images)
President Donald Trump on Monday forcefully condemned the Klu Klux Klan, neo-Nazis and white supremacist groups after refusing to do so for two days after racial violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The central Virginia city was the scene of a car attack by a Nazi sympathizer that left a counter-protester dead and 19 others injured during the second day of rallies organized by pro-white groups trying to stop the removal of a statute or Confederate military commander Robert E. Lee. But in remarks Saturday, Trump criticized groups on “many sides” and his silence about the Nazi and white supremacist groups continued throughout Sunday and into the first half of Monday.
“Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans,” Trump said after returning to the White House earlier Monday morning.
[Trump Lashes out at CEO for Resigning from Advisory Council]
The words will be welcomed by members of his own party and Democrats alike who spent the weekend, in part, urging Trump to disavow white supremacists.
Trump’s campaign was boosted by his often racially tinged rhetoric and support from such groups. David Duke, a former KKK leader, said in Charlottesville on Saturday that Trump’s presidency is partially about enacting white supremacists groups’ desired policies.
But he and other neo-Nazis and white supremacists likely will feel let down by the president’s Monday remarks, which also featured threats to prosecute any rally participants who broke law.
“To anyone who acted criminally in this weekend’s racist violence, you will be held fully accountable. Justice will be delivered,” Trump said after being updated on a federal civil rights probe of the violence in Charlottesville by Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray.
Echoing his Saturday remarks, the president said his administration condemns “in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of bigotry, hatred and violence.”
“It has no place in America. And as I have said many times before, no matter the color of our skin, we all live under the same laws, we all salute the same great flag, and we all are made by the same almighty God,” Trump said.
“All of us are created equal,” Trump said, adding all Americans are “equal under the law” and “under our Constitution.”
He appeared eager to challenge the core of neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups’ ideology: “Those who spread violence in the name if bigotry strike at the very core of America.”
Trump did not tell the groups he rejects their support. It took him two days to condemn the groups by name, but only a few hours Monday morning to lash out on Twitter at Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier, who is African-American, after Frazier announced he would step down from the President’s Manufacturing Council.
Now that Ken Frazier of Merck Pharma has resigned from President's Manufacturing Council,he will have more time to LOWER RIPOFF DRUG PRICES! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 14, 2017
Trump’s critics, and even some Republicans, noted how quickly Trump will lambast an individual or group when he wants to.
Sen. Mark Warner, a former Democratic governor of Virginia, praised Trump moments after he concluded his remarks.
[Opinion: Trump’s Two-Front War Against McConnell and North Korea]
Trump “actually sounded presidential,” Warner told MSNBC. “I wish he would have said those same words on Saturday. I’m disappointed it took him a couple of days.”
Warner added that lawmakers must now watch Trump and his Justice Department to ensure their actions match his words. He said the DOJ must go after “some of these hate groups across the country — because they will be back.”
The president’s comments came after his vice president, Mike Pence, beat him to the punch, denouncing the KKK and other white supremacist groups Sunday evening.
“We have no tolerance for hate and violence from white supremacists, neo-Nazis or the KKK,” Pence said from South America. “These dangerous fringe groups have no place in American public life and in the American debate, and we condemn them in the strongest possible terms.”

Jason Kessler, the White supremacist who organized the violent racist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, ran like a coward from a news conference Sunday when confronted by angry protesters who drowned out his remarks.
He was also punched him and tackled into a bush, the New York Daily News reports.
The rally of racists erupted in deadly violence on Saturday when James Fields Jr. rammed a Dodge Challenger into a group of counterprotesters, killing a 32-year-old woman, and injuring an estimated 19 people. Two state troopers policing the rallies also died in a helicopter crash.
Fields is scheduled to appear in court Monday on second-degree murder charges.

U.S. President Donald Trump is offering his condolences to Canadians
U.S. President Donald Trump is offering his condolences to Canadians following Monday’s deadly van attack on pedestrians in Toronto.
He made the remarks amid the pomp of a White House ceremony Tuesday as he welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron for a state visit, the first of the Trump presidency.
Trump began the affair by offering his hopes for a speedy recovery for George H.W. Bush, the former president who now hospitalized with an infection following the death of his wife Barbara.

He then mentioned the attack in Toronto, where 10 people were killed and 15 others injured when a rental van mounted the sidewalk and plowed through a crowd of passersby.
”I also want to express our deepest sympathies to the Canadian people following the horrendous tragedy in Toronto that claimed so many innocent lives,” Trump said.
”Our hearts are with the grieving families in Canada.”
The attack drew extensive international attention, its images on the front pages of foreign newspapers and cable outlets, some of which offered live broadcasts of the aftermath.
Alek Minassian, 25, of Richmond Hill, Ont., was apprehended by police without incident not long after the attack. He is charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder and 13 counts of attempted murder.

The carnage on Yonge St., was a reminder that we are capable of “great bravery,” says Mayor John Tory, as political leaders everywhere offered condolences to Toronto. Tory praised the police, first responders and city staff for their response in a speech at a special council meeting Tuesday morning. He commended the “great bravery” of the first responders — police officers who quickly and safely apprehended the suspect; the calm displayed by paramedics and firefighters who hurried from victim to victim; “heroic efforts” of hospital staff; and “extraordinary examples of ordinary citizens” who comforted those who were injured. “I know that I speak on behalf of all of the members of city council and city staff when I say that our hearts are with all of those affected,” Tory said. “The people who call this city home are shaken and we mourn together but we are not broken and we will not be broken.” After a moment of silence for the victims, council recessed for the day.

Former Toronto mayor Mel Lastman called Const. Ken Lam, who arrested Alek Minassian, the suspected van driver charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder and 13 counts of attempted murder — his “hero.” “Try to imagine for yourself what that must feel like, being in a standoff with a suspect,” Lastman said in a statement. “Despite thinking that the suspect was armed with a gun, he did not shoot the suspect. He was brave and managed to keep him alive. It is this sole act that will allow the city of Toronto to get to the bottom of this horrific crime.”
At Queen’s Park, Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford said “our hearts break for the victims of this terrible tragedy and their families.” “I want to thank the first responders, and give special thanks to Constable Ken Lam, what a true hero,” Ford said. “This is a tough time but in these moments our country, our province and our city come together. There has been an outpouring of support right across the province. Our prayers and our thoughts are with the families and the victims.” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said what happened Monday was “senseless” and “horrific.” “The entire community of Toronto has shown strength and determination in the face of this tragedy,” Trudeau said in the House of Commons foyer. “All Canadians stand united with Toronto today.” U.S. President Donald Trump offered his “deepest sympathies to the Canadian people following the horrendous tragedy in Toronto that claimed so many innocent lives.” “Our hearts are with the grieving families in Canada,” he said at a White House ceremony as he welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron for a state visit. The Queen also sent her sympathies. “Prince Philip and I join all Canadians in expressing our sadness following the terrible tragedy that occurred in Toronto yesterday,” the statement said. “We offer our deepest condolences to the families and friends of those who were lost, as well as our hopes for full recovery to all who were injured and affected by this incident. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.” With files from Rob Benzie, Jennifer Pagliaro and The Canadian Press

Question: Episcopal couples, advocates hope the church removes gay marriage restrictions

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

Indie Pereira, left, and her wife Pari Bhatt, right, at their home in Nashville, Tenn., Thursday, June 28, 2018. The couple attends St. Philip's Episcopal Church, butÊopted forÊa civil ceremony because their bishop will not permit clergy within theirÊdiocese to marry same-sex couples.
Andrew Nelles / The Tennessean
NASHVILLE — Indie Pereira and her wife Pari Bhatt still want a church wedding.
The Nashville couple regularly attends St. Philip's Episcopal Church, but opted for a civil ceremony in the living room of the city's former mayor because their bishop will not permit same-sex couples to have the religious ceremonies in the church.
Pereira and Bhatt live and worship within the Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee, which is one of only eight dioceses in the country where such a ban exists. Their struggle is illustrative of how views on marriage continue to threaten the unity of the denomination.
The other dioceses that ban same-sex marriage ceremonies in the church are Albany, New York; Central Florida; Dallas; Florida; North Dakota; Springfield, Illinois; and the Virgin Islands, according to a report from the church's Task Force on the Study of Marriage.

"It amazes me that I could literally go to any other dioceses that touches us and get married," said Pereira.
But that could change soon.
Same-sex marriage rules could change
Episcopalians will consider altering rules related to weddings for same-sex couples when they gather this month in Texas for the denomination's triennial meeting. The legislative session of their General Convention begins Thursday and runs through July 13 at the Austin Convention Center.
Two resolutions before this year's General Convention could make weddings like the one Pereira and Bhatt want a reality.
One resolution, authored by the denomination's Task Force on the Study of Marriage, would require that bishops make the religious marriage ceremonies available to all couples. And, it proposes changes to the Episcopal Church’s Book of Common Prayer, including stripping out the gender specific language as it relates to marriage.

May 19: Royal wedding 2018: Black bishop makes history, mentions slavery in American-style sermon
Three bishops put forward the second resolution. This one would give couples access to the religious wedding, too. But it would require bishops who object to have another willing bishop step in and authorize it. This resolution would not try to change the prayer book.
"My hope is that what they are able to do at the General Convention is to open this up to those of us who have been left out without making anyone feel like they have to participate in something that they're not ready for," Pereira said recently as she sat next to her wife in their home.
The current patchwork of rules started in 2015 when the General Convention opened the door for same-sex weddings by approving trial-use liturgies for marriage. But they left it up to each bishop to decide whether they could be used within their geographic regions.
Tennessee bishop stands firmly behind his decision
Ninety-three bishops authorized same-sex weddings, according to the report by the Task Force on the Study of Marriage. All but 20 of those bishops did so without conditions.
Bishop John Bauerschmidt, who oversees the Middle Tennessee region of the church, stands firmly by his decision not to authorize their use, nor allow clergy within his diocese to officiate the religious ceremonies or permit the weddings on church property.
In doing so, the bishop says he is being faithful to his job of guarding the discipline, faith and unity of the church.

January 2016: Anglicans suspend Episcopal Church over stance on same-sex marriage
July 2015: Episcopalians vote to allow gay marriage in churches
"The teaching that Christian marriage is between a man and a woman is reasonable, traditional, and scriptural," Bauerschmidt said in an email. "There really is nothing remarkable about a Christian bishop who holds to this teaching."
While Bishops can place limitations on the use of the marriage liturgies, they must refer couples to a willing diocese if they do not authorize them. Bauerschmidt chose the Diocese of Kentucky.
Pereira and Bhatt became engaged June 26, 2015, the day the U.S. Supreme Court declared that same-sex couples could legally marry across the country. The landmark decision came just days before the General Convention approved the trial-use liturgies for marriage, and Bauerschmidt issued his decision that November.
The couple did not want to marry in Kentucky.
Bhatt is originally from India, and the need for the legal protections civil marriage offers forced the issue. Megan Barry, who was Nashville mayor at the time, married the couple on Jan. 3, 2016, in her living room.
"It clouded the day because it felt like we had to do it at a place that we didn’t want to do it," Pereira said. "We needed those protections while we were waiting for the church to come around."
While some members of the Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee disagree with Bauerschmidt's prohibition, some church members support it.
Langley Granbery, who is a member of an Episcopal Church in Nashville, agrees with Bauerschmidt because he believes the bishop's viewpoint matches what scripture says as well as the church's historic position on marriage.
"I'm very thankful that he's taken the stance on upholding traditional marriage," said Granbery.
He worries the denomination could eventually shift far astray of its past position on marriage. This year, he hopes the General Convention will not overrule bishops such as Bauerschmidt nor change what the book of prayer says about marriage.
Granbery is concerned that eventually there may no longer be space in the Episcopal Church for conservative positions like his.
The future is unknown
Bauerschmidt has tried to emphasize unity in the face of the division within the diocese, but the ban has strained relationships for those on both sides of the issue.
In January, church members voted nearly unanimously during their diocesan meeting to send an official message to the General Convention, asking the bishops and deputies to "take in account the exclusion, competing convictions, and loss of community experienced by members of this diocese" because of the 2015 policy change.
That step was driven in part by the work of All Sacraments for All People, a local grassroots group formed in response to the bishop's ban. The organization wants everyone to be able to belong to a congregation that allows them to receive all the sacraments, including marriage.
Connally Davies Penley, who is a part of the group, does not know what to expect from the General Convention, but is hopeful.
Davies Penley wants the resolution that does not require a bishop's permission passed.
They have been in touch with church members in some of the other seven dioceses where the use of the marriage liturgies is banned.
Members in the Episcopal Diocese of Dallas put together a similar campaign. The national group, Integrity USA, also continues to push for LGBTQ inclusion in the church and hopes the General Convention will make it so couples can marry in the church regardless of where they live in the U.S., said Bruce Garner, president of Integrity.
The Rev. Susan Russell, of California, who served on the Task Force on the Study of Marriage, said the bishops' resolution is well intentioned, but would enshrine a separate and inherently unequal status for LGBTQ church members.
"We can do better," Russell said in an email.
Resolutions can change as they make their way through the General Convention process. So it remains to be seen what will happen in Texas.

INDIANAPOLIS -- A United Methodist Church committee has been ordered to rehear the case against a gay Cincinnati pastor accused by some members of his denomination of being unfit for the ministry due to his marriage to a man.
On Monday, the UMC’s North Central Jurisdiction Committee on Appeals remanded the case against Rev. David Meredith back to the West Ohio Committee on Investigation, which had previously dismissed the two most serious violations Meredith faced – that he lived an “immoral lifestyle” and that as a “self-avowed, practicing homosexual” he couldn’t be ordained as a minister.
The ruling comes after an appeals hearing in Indianapolis earlier this month on the West Ohio Committee on Investigation’s decision.
READ MORE | Supporters rally around gay United Methodist Church pastor on ‘trial’ over marriage to a man
At the heart of the case is the question of whether Meredith – who has been openly gay during his entire six-year tenure as pastor of the Clifton United Methodist Church – is fit to remain an ordained UMC minister following his 2016 marriage to his long-time partner, Jim Schlachter.
Shortly after their wedding, 11 UMC denomination members sent letters to the bishop of UMC’s West Ohio Conference challenging Meredith’s fitness to remain as pastor, according to RTV6’s sister station WCPO.
READ MORE | A Clifton minister's gay marriage sets up a battle with opponents over his continued ministry
The letters cited a section from the UMC’s Book of Discipline outlining qualifications for ordination which says homosexuality is “incompatible” with Christian teaching:
"While persons set apart by the Church for ordained ministry are subject to all the frailties of the human condition and the pressures of society, they are required to maintain the highest standards of holy living in the world. The practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching. Therefore self-avowed practicing homosexuals are not to be certified as candidates, ordained as ministers, or appointed to serve in The United Methodist Church."
Meredith, who was not allowed to speak on his behalf at the Indianapolis hearing, has said the charges against him are being pushed by “mean-spirited literalists.”
In a statement provided to RTV6 Monday, members of Meredith’s Clifton United Methodist Church pushed back on the appeals committee’s decision.
“This ruling is a sad illustration of the juridical lock-box that the Methodist establishment has placed itself in,” said Steve Depoe, chair of Clifton United Methodist’s church council. “The Holy Spirit was not favored during that hearing, nor in the decision. But the arc of the moral universe bends toward justice, even for United Methodists. Pastor David Meredith will continue to serve as a faithful pastor for one of the strongest congregations in the West Ohio Conference. Clifton UMC will lead the way forward in the months ahead in Cincinnati, the Ohio Valley region, and beyond.”
Although the appeals committee’s decision once again puts Meredith in jeopardy of losing his ordination as a UMC minister, it also offers a temporary reprieve. As part of its ruling, the committee asked that the case against Meredith not be heard again until after a special meeting of the global United Methodist Church in early 2019 to deal with the question of gay inclusion.
That meeting, which was announced in April 2017, is scheduled to take place from Feb. 23-29, 2019, in St. Louis.
A decision by the UMC to revise its Book of Discipline – which normally happens every four years – to remove or alter the language about homosexuality in its qualifications for ordination could mean the case against Meredith becomes largely moot. If the global church does not act on the language, Meredith will again have to argue why he should not be defrocked.
For his part, Meredith has said he remains hopeful about the ultimate outcome in the case – telling RTV6 after the hearing in Indianapolis that he was going to continue following his calling as a minister for his church.
“I have been in the church for 46 years,” Meredith said. “I wouldn’t have stayed in the United Methodist Church my entire life under the threat of the things that are standing against me if I were not a person of hope. So I am hopeful.”

Question: Mother 'has no memory' of killing newborn baby with scissors

A mother has accepted she stabbed her newborn baby to death with a pair of scissors, but told a jury she had no memory of doing so.
Rachel Tunstill, 26, placed the lifeless body of her daughter, Mia Kelly, into carrier bags shortly after giving birth in her bathroom and then placed the baby in the kitchen bin.
Tunstill claims she was unaware her pregnancy was virtually full term and thought she was having a miscarriage at the flat she shared with her partner in Wellington Court, Burnley, Lancashire.
The defendant said her recollection of events on the evening of January 14 was "very hazy" and "unclear".
She told Preston Crown Court that she checked the baby for signs of life in the bathroom, but found none.
The psychology graduate recalled asking her boyfriend, forklift driver Ryan Kelly, to fetch a pair of scissors in case she needed to cut the cord.
Her barrister, Simon Kealey QC, asked her: "Do you recall what you did, if anything, with the scissors?"
Tunstill replied: "I don't recall doing anything with the scissors apart from putting them on the side."
Mr Kealey said: "Do you accept that when the baby was born you were alone in the bathroom with her?"
She said: "Yes."
Mr Kealey went on: "And do you accept that the baby died as a result of stab wounds?"
Tunstill replied: "Yes."
Her barrister said: "Do you accept it can only be you?"
"Yes," repeated the defendant.
Mr Kealey asked: "Do you have any recollection of doing it?"
Tunstill said: "No, absolutely none."
The defendant said she discovered three days before the birth that she was pregnant and had planned to seek medical assistance the following week.
Tunstill went to Burnley General Hospital on the morning of January 16, where she told staff she was nine weeks' pregnant, had suffered bleeding and was concerned she had had a miscarriage.
On examination, medics found her pregnancy had in fact been very nearly full term as part of the umbilical cord was still attached to the uterus.
Police were called to the hospital and Tunstill was arrested when the baby's remains were found in the bin.
A post-mortem examination found in excess of 15 puncture wounds on Mia's body, with traces of the newborn's blood found on the rivet of the scissors.
Tunstill, a deputy manager at a local residential home for people with mental health issues, denies murder.

Question: Final push for Moore and Jones in Alabama Senate race

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) — Alabama Democrats see Tuesday’s special Senate election as a chance to renounce a history littered with politicians whose race-baiting, bombast and other baggage have long soiled the state’s reputation beyond its borders.
Many Republicans see the vote as chance to ratify their conservative values and protect President Donald Trump’s agenda ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.
At the center are Republican Roy Moore, a former jurist twice removed as state chief justice and now accused of sexual misconduct with teenage girls decades ago, and Democrat Doug Jones, an erstwhile federal prosecutor best known for prosecuting two Ku Klux Klansmen responsible for killing four black girls in the 1963 bombing of Birmingham’s 16th Street Baptist Church.
The winner will take the seat held previously by Trump’s attorney general, Jeff Sessions. Republicans control the Senate with 52 seats.
In truth, the matchup mixes both Alabama’s tortured history and the nation’s current divisive, bitterly partisan politics, and it has made a spectacle of a Deep South state well acquainted with national scrutiny but not accustomed to competitive general elections.
“This is an election to tell the whole world what we stand for,” Jones told supporters at one stop Sunday, adding that his campaign “is on the right side of history.” At an earlier appearance, he declared Alabama is “at a crossroads” and that Moore, an unapologetic evangelical populist, tries only to “create conflict and division.”
Jones, 63, stops short of explicitly comparing Moore to the four-term Gov. George Wallace, whose populism was rooted in segregation. But Jones alluded Sunday to that era of Alabama politics.
“Elect a responsible man to a responsible office,” Jones said, repeating the campaign slogan of another Alabama governor, Albert Brewer, who nearly defeated Wallace in 1970 in a contest Alabama liberals and many moderates still lament as a lost opportunity.
Some of Jones’ supporters put it even more bluntly. “I thought Alabama’s image was pretty much at the bottom,” said Pat Lawrence, a retired software engineer in Huntsville. A Moore win, Lawrence added, “will be a whole new bottom.”
Those concerns extend even to some GOP quarters. Alabama’s senior senator, Richard Shelby, confirmed Sunday that he did not vote for Moore, saying he wrote in another “distinguished” party figure he declined to name.
Yet for many Republicans, Moore is a paragon of traditional values. They reject accusations that he molested two teenage girls and pursued relationships with others decades ago. Moore denies the charges.
“Everyone has to vote their convictions,” said Kevin Mims of Montgomery, as he held his Bible outside his Baptist church Sunday in Montgomery. “My conviction is he’s the right man for the job.”
Where Moore’s critics see a state judge who defied federal courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision legalizing same-sex marriage, Mims see a stalwart who stands “on the word of God.” Other conservatives see an anti-establishment firebrand in the mold of Trump, who won Alabama by 28 percentage points.
Moore encourages that view with fundraising emails that urge backers to help him “defeat the elite,” a swipe at both Democrats and the establishment Republicans who tried to deny him the GOP nomination earlier this year.
Ultimately, Republicans from Moore to Trump himself are betting on a simple bottom line: Most Alabama conservatives simply won’t defect to a Democrat.
“If Alabama elects liberal Democrat Doug Jones, all of our progress will be stopped cold,” Trump says in a robocall the Moore campaign plans to push out Monday.
The president also invokes a common fear among Republicans, calling Jones “a puppet of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer,” the Democratic House and Senate leaders in Washington, both of them reviled by conservative voters. “Roy Moore is the guy we need to pass our Make American Great Again agenda,” the president insists.
Moore’s baggage could make it difficult to draw conclusions about what the results might mean beyond Alabama, but both parties are watching closely.
Democrats need to flip 24 GOP-held seats to reclaim a House majority, and they’re trying to dent the slim Republican advantage in the Senate and its dominance of statehouses around the country. In many of those races, they’ll need the same thing Jones must get to win in Alabama: strong turnout among young and non-white voters, along with improved performance among suburban moderates.
A Jones victory would be hailed as a potential precursor, and Democrats have indicated they have a post-Alabama strategy even if Jones loses: They’ll take Alabama’s brand national, hammering Republicans as “the party of Donald Trump and Roy Moore.”

Question: Slimmers who set ambitious targets lose twice as much weight

Represent this text to find a news title for it

Slimmers who set ambitious targets lose twice as many pounds as those who try to be realistic, according to new research.
A study of more than 24,000 dieters found those who set the toughest goals shed almost a fifth of their body weight - about double the amount of those who lowered the bar.
The findings are food for thought for those making a New Year resolution to go on a diet.
And obesity experts are calling for changes to public health guidance which suggests slimmers set themselves a ‘realistic’ target of losing 5-10 per cent of their starting weight.
They want patients to aim for their ‘dream weight’ after the dramatic results of the 12 month experiment reported in the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics .
The participants were Slimming World members with a BMI (body mass index) of at least 30 which put them in the obese category who were all attending weekly group support sessions.
Those whose aim was to lose less than 10 per cent of their body weight did typically achieve their goal shedding an average of 11 per cent - equivalent to 1st 11lbs for someone who weighs 16 stone.
But those who set the most ambitious targets lost almost twice as much weight overall - an average of 19 per cent in a year, or 3st 1lb for someone weighing 16st.
Change of approach needed?
In the UK around a quarter of people are obese, meaning their weight could be seriously affecting their health.
The traditional approach advised by NHS Choices is thought to be based on the thinking ambitious goals are less likely to be achieved, which could result in disappointment, decreased effort and people giving up on their journey.
But the new research suggests rather than trying to protect them from disappointment health experts should instead be encouraging slimmers to ‘shoot for the moon’ and get support to achieve their goals.
Professor Amanda Avery, a nutritionist at Nottingham University, said: “January is the most popular time of the year to start a healthy weight loss programme and so it’s really important people have the information they need to maximise their chances of success.
“We know current NHS and NICE advice around realistic weight loss targets is designed to protect slimmers from disappointment.
“However, suggesting that people place limits on their weight loss aims could stop people from seeing what they’re capable of. It’s important that people have aspirations and can visualise themselves achieving success.
“This research shows that, when it comes to losing weight, it’s best to inspire people to set the weight loss target they would personally really like to achieve. This will help with their motivation as, if it is really their dream weight, they’ll be far more committed to achieving it.
“Setting a target is really only the beginning, though, and it’s vital that people also get regular support to make healthy changes to their eating and activity habits and to help them stay focused, committed and encouraged.
“Working together with others to share experiences and solutions to challenges and to celebrate successful weight loss and behaviour change can keep people motivated to achieve long-term success.
“It’s great that the NHS and NICE already encourage people who want to lose weight to set a target, as our study found that people who set their own personal target - as most of our members choose to - were 10 times more likely to be successful.
“The next stage is for them to look more closely at how encouraging patients to aim for their dream weight can increase their chances of success, as long as they’re also getting support along the way.”
“I set myself that high target and I haven’t looked back.”
Hollie Barrett, 30, from Suffolk, lost 8st 6lbs after her Slimming World Consultant encouraged her to set the Personal Achievement Target she really wanted.
She said: “I was 17st 11lbs at my heaviest and my confidence was really low. I felt like my weight was holding me back in every aspect of my life, especially when it came to doing things with my children.
“Even things other mums might take for granted, like taking the children swimming, seemed off limits because I felt so self-conscious. I once chased my daughter, Imogen, up the stairs to bed and was so breathless I couldn’t speak properly to read her a book - it broke my heart. I didn’t want them to be bullied at school because their mum was so overweight either.
“My whole life I’d wanted to be a size 8 but I never really believed I could be.
“I set myself that high target, committed to following the plan 100 per cent and in my first week I lost 9½lbs! From there I haven’t looked back.”

Weight loss is on the top of many Briton’s to-do lists in the early months of January. Adding a simple glass of water to your morning meal alone can help with a “significant loss of body weight and fat over time” experts claimed. Scientists at the Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute, Oakland, California, made the surprising findings. They attempted to show the long-term effects of drinking water on body weight and composition.

The study included 173 women between 25 and 50-years-old who usually drank less than a litre of water a day. These women added half a litre of water to their breakfast. The study concluded that drinking the water had promoted weight loss in the women. Drinking water is said to help you lose weight for various reasons.

Low-carb high-protein diets have been shown in some clinical studies to help dieters with fast weight loss as the fat keeps them satiated for longer. Some feel this gives them carte blanche to gorge on steaks and bacon, but according to a new study, this is not the best method to achieve weight loss.

Question: Kid Rock considered as Senate candidate

Kid Rock is reportedly being considered as a potential candidate for Senate.
The 46-year-old musician, real name Robert Ritchie, was apparently discussed during a Michigan Republican Party convention last weekend, according to Rollcall.com.
The website reports the rocker was thrown into the mix as one of the Republican contenders for Michigan Democrat Debbie Stabenow’s Senate seat next year, but no official decisions have been made as yet.
While Rock’s name is likely to come as a surprise to the majority, he has always been very vocal about his political beliefs. Despite considering himself as Republican, there are some issues he disagrees with the party on, as he previously explained to The Guardian newspaper.
“I am definitely a Republican on fiscal issues and the military, but I lean to the middle on social issues. I am no fan of abortion, but it’s not up to a man to tell a woman what to do. As an ordained minister I don’t look forward to marrying gay people, but I’m not opposed to it,” he said.
Born Free singer Rock has been a massive supporter of several Republican candidates, including Mitt Romney during his bid for the U.S. presidency back in 2012.
He is also a supporter of new U.S. President Donald Trump, and began stocking Trump merchandise in his online store prior to the November election. Among the items are T-shirts bearing the slogan “God, Guns & Trump”, and hats stating, “Make America Bada-- Again”.
The right to bear arms is something Rock feels very passionately about, and he owns several guns himself, including a .22 rifle and a semi-automatic with a silencer.
“I’m always buying more guns. I have everything from a Civil War cannon to an MP5 machine gun and old police guns. If someone invades your house, yeah, you can shoot them. I don’t think crazy people should have guns,” he added.

On 'America's Newsroom,' Republican congressman from New York says President Trump would make a serious mistake getting rid of Mueller.

Question: Jeremy Corbyn Has Appointed Leadership Rival Owen Smith To The Shadow Cabinet

Jeremy Corbyn has appointed his former leadership challenger Owen Smith to the shadow cabinet, in one of the few olive branches to his internal opponents.
The Labour leader had the opportunity to reshuffle his top team and many MPs who were previously anti-Corbyn – but are now much more upbeat about the leader's prospects – had hoped he would be tempted to bring back the likes of Yvette Cooper and Chukka Umunna to the Labour front bench.
The leader has instead limited his reshuffle to filling the vacancies left by Labour MPs who left parliament. Otherwise, he has stuck with the group of MPs who were loyal to him following last summer's attempted coup, when almost the entire shadow cabinet resigned in an attempt to force Corbyn to quit.
Deputy leader Tom Watson, a longterm Corbyn critic, loses the role of party chairman and is replaced by Ian Lavery who has always been loyal to the leader.
“I am delighted to announce four appointments to fill shadow cabinet vacancies," said Corbyn. "I look forward to working with the strengthened shadow cabinet as we prepare a government in waiting to carry out our manifesto for the many not the few."
"Our party is now on a permanent campaign footing in anticipation of the failure of Theresa May's attempt to establish a stable administration with the support of the DUP."
Smith, who was ostracised by the left of the party after unsuccessfully challenging Corbyn last summer, has been welcomed back as shadow Northern Ireland secretary at a crucial time given the DUP's involvement in a possible deal with the Conservative government.
The Pontypridd MP was a special adviser to Northern Ireland secretary Paul Murphy during Tony Blair's government, meaning he already has some knowledge of the job.
Lesley Laird, who only became an MP six days ago, goes straight into the shadow cabinet as shadow secretary of state for Scotland, in one of the fastest rises to the front bench in British political history.
Other appointments include Dawn Butler as shadow minister for diverse communities.
In addition to his job as party chairman Ian Lavery will be joint election campaign coordinator, serving with Andrew Gwynne.
Gwynne has also been appointed as shadow communities secretary.

Question: Chicago ‘sanctuary church’ shelters immigrants, endures hate speech

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

Jessica has lived in the United States for almost 18 years. Her husband and their four children are American citizens.
And she is terrified of being ripped away from her family and sent back to Mexico, a country that is no longer her home.
“I wake up at night and I can’t sleep just thinking about it,” the 50-year-old woman told CNN, holding back tears. (Jessica is not her real name; because of her fears of being deported, CNN is not revealing her identity.)
Jessica crossed the border in 1999 and made it all the way to Chicago, where she built a family and a new life. But she’s never gotten her green card. And now, like many immigrants in the new, border-tightening era of President Donald Trump, she is facing an uncertain future.
Mostly, she worries about her youngest children, ages 15 to 21.
“It’s tough to think I’d be leaving them behind,” she said, her voice breaking. “If I get deported, what’s going to be of them?”
Prayer is Jessica’s only solace. That, and the church she attends in her largely Mexican-American neighborhood on Chicago’s lower west side. Lincoln United Methodist Church is a “sanctuary church,” or a place that promises to provide shelter and support for undocumented immigrants.
For its pastor, Emma Lozano, the church’s mission is personal.
“I feel like they are my children,” Lozano told CNN. “They are coming after my children and it’s been extremely difficult and I want to stand up for them and I want to defend them.”
A ‘sanctuary movement’?
Since Trump took office almost a month ago, the number of churches in the United States willing to offer sanctuary has doubled to 800, according the Rev. Noel Anderson, national grassroots coordinator at Church World Service, a faith-based organization that helps the less fortunate.
“The faith community in general, after the election, were looking for ‘what can we do’ to support the immigrant community,” Anderson said. “And the sanctuary movement offered a concrete way for people to respond and show support and solidarity with undocumented people.”
The movement has spread beyond churches. More than 6,000 Americans have signed a pledge through Groundswell, an online social action platform, agreeing to open up their homes, churches, schools, hospitals, college campuses and community centers to immigrants in fear.
Any church or group can pledge to become a sanctuary. But that doesn’t mean the immigrants they shelter are protected from deportation.
“The Immigration and Nationality law doesn’t use the word sanctuary at all,” said Leon Fresco, a former assistant attorney general at the Department of Justice’s Office of Immigration Litigation. “It (sanctuary church) is more of a political term.”
There also is a criminal law that prohibits harboring an undocumented immigrant. But Fresco doubts anyone would exercise it to go after a priest or a pastor.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a church that has ever been prosecuted for harboring; but certainly the law permits that,” he told CNN.
“I don’t know what jury you could get to convict somebody in that situation,” Fresco added. “It could end up being more damaging than anything else.”
‘I ask for the softening of the heart’
Lozano and Lincoln United Methodist have a long history of sheltering undocumented immigrants.
In 2006 the pastor gave refuge to Elvira Arellano, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico whose story made national headlines. Arellano became a face of the immigration debate and Lozano’s church — then nearby Adalberto United Methodist Church — became a symbol of the sanctuary church movement. (Arellano was deported to Mexico in 2007.)
Nearly all the church’s congregation is made up of undocumented immigrants and refugees. Fears about their future in the United States have spiked since the election of Trump, who has vowed to deport millions of people. Then came the well-publicized case of Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos, an Arizona mother of two US citizens who had no violent criminal background but was deported last week after checking in with her immigration officer. She had been convicted of using a fake Social Security number so she could work.
Some of that emotion erupted during a church service Sunday, when Pastor Emma Lozano asked members of her flock to stand up and speak their minds.
The worry in the room was palpable. Church members, some of whom must check in with immigration officers in the coming days and weeks, couldn’t hide their red, puffy eyes as they held back tears.
“I don’t want families to get separated anymore,” sobbed a woman in the front pew. “I ask for the softening of the heart of our government.”
Lozano tries to assuage their fears by explaining her church will always be a sanctuary for those in fear of deportation.
But she’s worried about the hatred that surrounds her church.
At least five times in the past 10 months, vandals have defaced the church doors with hateful graffiti, including swastikas and phrases like “Rape N Kill Mexico.”
“It’s been emotional for myself and some of the leadership in the church,” she told CNN. “Our families, they are some of the most humble and hard-working and loving families.”
Lozano hired an armed guard and said she plans to install surveillance cameras. She worries that threats like these might deter other pastors and people around the country from offering sanctuary to immigrants when the need is greatest.
“We have to have courage right now,” the pastor said. “Courage doesn’t mean you’re not afraid. It just means that the fear exists, but you have the will to carry on.”
‘I’m not a terrorist’
For 12 years, Jessica has been checking in about twice a year with Immigration Customs and Enforcement, or ICE. On several occasions, she said, she’s been told by agents that her time in America was up. Each time, the government changed its mind.
Jessica’s crime: In 1999, she said a coyote, or human smuggler, gave her a fake visa to help her enter the United States. At the time, she said, she didn’t know any better.
With her husband’s help, her two oldest children in Mexico migrated legally to the United States. Her husband later filed paperwork for Jessica’s green card, and all she needed to gain legal status was a final interview. But when she was honest about the fake visa she used in 1999 it landed her in detention, she said. She was released 28 days later and has been checking in with ICE ever since.
Her next scheduled check-in with ICE is March 7.
With every day that passes, her anxiety mounts. She says goodbye to her children every night before bed.
“I am so worried and at the same time so afraid,” she told CNN. “We’ve never asked the government for anything. We have worked for everything we have.”
Jessica, who works in a paper factory, said she doesn’t plan to take refuge in Lozano’s church. She wants to follow the law.
As March 7 approaches, the future of her family is once again at the discretion of an immigration agent.
For the first time, she says her family is asking the government for one thing: compassion.
Her final plea is for President Trump.
“Allow me to stay with my children,” she said “I work. I’m not a criminal. I’m not a terrorist. Please stand in my shoes and don’t separate my family.”

Question: Puckett becomes second Blue Raider taken in 2017 draft

Photo by Darwin Moore / MTSU Sidelines
Former Middle Tennessee pitcher Cody Puckett became the second Blue Raider taken in the 2017 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft on Wednesday afternoon when he was selected by the Oakland Athletics in the 3oth round (891st overall).
Puckett joins fellow senior Riley Delgado as the only Blue Raiders taken in the draft. Delgado was taken on Tuesday in the ninth round by the Atlanta Braves.
Puckett was a teammate of Delgado’s at Columbia State Community College for his first two seasons of college baseball. The left-hander was a second team All-TJCAA player as a freshman and sported a 4-4 record with 65 strikeouts in 11 starts in his career as a Charger.
The Smithville, Tennessee, native showed great versatility in his Blue Raider career, pitching as both a starter and a reliever throughout his two seasons.
As a junior, Puckett appeared in 17 games (all in relief) and tied for the team-lead in wins with three. Puckett had 30 strikeouts and collected three saves that season.
Puckett was Middle Tennessee’s most reliable starter as a senior in 2017. He won three more games and led the team in strikeouts with 71. Puckett also had a couple outings where he was unhittable, tying his career-high in single-game strikeouts with 10 twice.
One of his best performances came against the Rice Owls on May 13 when he tossed seven scoreless frames en route to a 13-1 MTSU win.

Puckett is now the tenth active Blue Raider in professional baseball, joining Nate Hoffman (Independent League), Hunter Adkins (Miami Marlins), Matt Blackham (New York Mets), Bryce Brentz (Boston Red Sox), Zac Curtis (Seattle Mariners), Michael McKenry (Tampa Bay Rays), Ronnie Jebavy (San Francisco Giants), Heath Slatton (San Francisco Giants) and classmate Riley Delgado (Atlanta Braves).
The next likely destination for Puckett is the A’s rookie ball team, the Arizona League A’s. Their schedule is TBD.

Almost four years after Greg Quesnelle was shot and killed in his girlfriend’s Cloverdale townhome, the man accused of his murder has been sentenced for the crime.
On Friday, April 20, in Supreme Court in New Westminster, Langley’s Barry McQuarrie was sentenced to 14 years, three months and nine days in federal prison. He was also handed down a lifetime weapons ban and must provide a DNA sample.
McQuarrie’s case was heard by a judge during a five-day trial last week.
A judge ruled that McQuarrie, 36, who is also known as ‘Bad Ass Barry,’ shot his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend, Gregory Quesnelle, 32.
Some of Quesnelle’s family flew to B.C. for the trial. Family members declined to comment following the sentence.
On May 12, 2014, just before midnight, RCMP responded to a report of a shooting inside a townhome at 176 Street and 57 Avenue.
Quesnelle was found injured inside the townhome and was rushed to hospital, where he died of his wounds.
McQuarrie spent two months on the run from police. He was captured while hiding in a Langley homeowner’s garage. The homeowner did not know him.
He has been in custody ever since. During his sentencing he received credit for time served.
Shortly after the murder, police identified McQuarrie as a suspect and released his picture to the media. Later, a man called CTV News, claiming to be McQuarrie.
The caller denied killing Quesnelle, but admitted the two were at odds over a woman and that he had pepper sprayed his rival in self-defence days before the murder.
“I didn’t go back and kill him,” McQuarrie told CTV.
“I just want them [the police] to know I’m not armed and dangerous. I’m not trying to hurt anyone. I’m just trying to stay out of jail.”
He said he planned on keeping his freedom as long as possible.
“I want to enjoy as much of the summer as I possibly can,” he said.
“When the time comes after the summer, maybe I’ll hand myself in. Maybe.”
Police confirmed through surveillance footage, that he had made the call from a pay phone in Aldergrove.
Court records show McQuarrie goes by a number of aliases, including Nicholas Randell McQuarrie, Richard Laary, Barry Bayer, ‘Bad Ass’ Barry, and just ‘Bad Ass.’
McQuarrie has a long criminal history in Langley, including causing a lockdown at Nicomekl Elementary school in June 2005 when police were searching for him in connection to the shooting of a 35-year-old Langley man.
Police stopped traffic on 200 Street and locked down the school after receiving a tip that McQuarrie was inside a nearby house. The tip turned out to be wrong. The operation involved dozen of undercover officers and emergency response teams.
READ MORE: A long history of crime
In July 2005, McQuarrie evaded capture for more than two weeks following a shooting in the 20200 block of 66 Avenue on June 18, 2005 that left a 35-year-old Langley man injured. The victim recovered.
McQuarrie was captured following a break and enter at a house, a short car chase and foot pursuit. Police dogs aided in the arrest.
McQuarrie was 24 at the time. Police warned the public that McQuarrie was a drug user whose behaviour had become increasingly irrational and violent.

Question: Alabama GOP Senate Primary Tests Reach Of McConnell, Trump

In the Alabama Republican Senate race, every candidate wants to be just like Donald Trump.
But in Tuesday's primary, the leading candidate sounds and acts more like the president, while it's the incumbent, an appointed senator just fighting to make it into a likely runoff, who has Trump's actual blessing — but also the curse of being Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's favorite candidate.
That's the conundrum of the Republican contest, largely seen as a three-way race between front-runner Roy Moore, a controversial former Alabama Supreme Court chief justice; Sen. Luther Strange, appointed back in February to fill the seat of now-Attorney General Jeff Sessions; and Rep. Mo Brooks, who's seized on an anti-McConnell platform as the president's attacks against the Senate's top Republican have intensified recently.
Moore has consistently polled atop the field, and looks likely to claim a spot in a probable September runoff. His ads sound downright Trumpian, promising to "drain the swamp" and taking a swipe at D.C. elites.
Moore is well-known throughout the state — and the country — too. He first gained national notoriety when he refused to remove a monument of the Ten Commandments from a state judicial building despite a federal court order; Moore himself was then removed from his position as chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court in 2003. He won election to the same post again in 2012, but was then suspended after he ordered judges to enforce the state's ban on same-sex marriage despite the Supreme Court's 2015 decision in favor of gay marriage nationwide under the federal Constitution. He resigned earlier this year to challenge Strange.
To state observers, it's not surprising that Moore has been able to build a strong following and even expand beyond what might be his typical conservative base in the state.
"Alabama voters supported Trump because he spoke his mind and said all the things they had been thinking about government," said Brent Buchanan, a GOP strategist and pollster in the state. "Out of all the candidates, Roy Moore has some of those similar characteristics. You may not agree with all of his policy or personal preferences, but you know that Roy Moore is going to do what Roy Moore believes."
That's why it was so, well, strange last week when Trump tweeted out his support for Strange, saying the incumbent has his "complete and total endorsement!"
The senator has benefited from millions of dollars in ads from the McConnell-aligned Senate Leadership Fund super PAC. The very next day after endorsing Strange, Trump started going on Twitter tirades against the GOP Senate leader for failing to pass a bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
Strange has tried to prove his loyalty to the president ever since he was appointed under less than auspicious circumstances. As Alabama's attorney general, Strange was investigating then-Gov. Robert Bentley for misuse of his office amid a sex scandal when Bentley chose Strange to replace Sessions. Facing impeachment, Bentley eventually resigned, and the new governor, Kay Ivey, moved up the date for the special election to replace Sessions long-term.
Polling done in the wake of Trump's surprise endorsement showed that the president's blessing had done little — yet — to move the needle toward Strange. One by cygnal, Buchanan's firm, conducted partly after the endorsement, showed Moore still with a lead and high favorables, Strange remained static and it was Brooks who took a hit.
Buchanan said the Trump endorsement could help Strange turn out some who were less likely to vote on Tuesday, which could be key in what's already expected to be a very low-turnout affair.
And the pro-Trump America First Action super PAC also announced late Friday it would be spending up to $200,000 on digital ads targeting Trump voters to encourage them to come out for Strange.
However, although he's slipping in polling, Brooks is hoping to turn McConnell's fervent support for Strange into a last-ditch way to get into the likely runoff against Moore. He's hitched a "Ditch Mitch" banner to his campaign bus in the final days, and in his closing ad he echoes Trump's frustration with McConnell's inability to push through an Obamacare repeal.
"McConnell and Strange are weak, but together we can be strong," Brooks says. "Mr. President, isn't it time we tell McConnell and Strange, 'You're fired?'"
Ultimately, the Huntsville-area congressman hasn't had the resources the other two candidates have had, and he hasn't been elected statewide before like Moore and Strange. And, perhaps most damaging, he was certainly no fan of Trump during the GOP presidential primaries last year, during which he supported Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. McConnell's super PAC has pointed that out in ads, saying Brooks sided with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.
If Strange does fall short of the runoff, University of Alabama political science professor emeritus William Stewart, a longtime political observer in the state, said that's a big problem for McConnell. And, if Strange does make it to the likely September runoff, expect that to be a big point Moore can use against Strange, too.
"The McConnell support for Strange will not be helpful because McConnell, as the president says, hasn't been successful at pushing through the president's agenda, " Stewart said. "If Strange doesn't make the runoff, that's a definite blow to McConnell," more so than Trump.
Polling shows Moore is still the favorite against Strange in a runoff, and that's where the McConnell ties could be the most deadly — and place the president in a more precarious spot given his surprising endorsement. Stewart said it would be interesting to watch how much Trump puts his muscle behind Strange later, and something like traveling to Alabama — one of Trump's best states in 2016 — for a rally on the senator's behalf would certainly give Strange a boost.
No matter who wins the GOP nomination though, they'll be the heavy favorite in the December general election, even if it's the more controversial Moore. Democrats are expected to nominate Doug Jones, a former U.S. attorney, though he could face a runoff against the aptly-named Robert Kennedy Jr., a Naval veteran who is not related to the famous Democratic political family.
If Moore is the GOP nominee, it will be interesting to watch whether the Democrats can make it even a mildly competitive contest — something Stewart, the former University of Alabama professor, said is doubtful, and is emblematic of the problems the party faces overall in the South.
"Right now the Democratic Party is very impotent here," Stewart said. "I think whomever the Republicans choose as their nominee will be the winner."

Question: IS claims New Year’s attack on Istanbul nightclub

Family members of victims of an overnight attack at a nightclub, cry outside the Forensic Medical Center in Istanbul, Jan. 1, 2017. (Suleyman Kaya/DHA – Depo Photos via AP) Family members of victims of an overnight attack at a nightclub, cry outside the Forensic Medical Center in Istanbul, Jan. 1, 2017. (Suleyman Kaya/DHA – Depo Photos via AP)
The Islamic State group on Monday claimed responsibility for the New Year’s attack at a popular Istanbul nightclub that killed 39 people and wounded scores of others. The IS-linked Aamaq News Agency said the attack was carried by a “heroic soldier of the caliphate who attacked the most famous nightclub where Christians were celebrating their pagan feast.” It said the man opened fire from an automatic rifle in “revenge for God’s religion and in response to the orders” of IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Watch What Else Is Making News
The group described Turkey as “the servant of the cross.” Earlier, Turkish media reports had said that Turkish authorities believed the IS group was behind the attack and that the gunman, who is still at large, comes from a Central Asian nation and is likely to be either from Uzbekistan or Kyrgyzstan.
According to Hurriyet and Karar newspapers, police had also established similarities with the high-casualty suicide bomb and gun attack at Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport in June and was investigating whether the same IS cell could have carried out both attacks. The gunman killed a policeman and another man outside the Reina club in the early hours of 2017 before entering and firing at an estimated 600 people partying inside with an automatic rifle.
Nearly two-thirds of the dead in the upscale club, which is frequented by local celebrities, were foreigners, Turkey’s Anadolu Agency said. Many of them hailed from the Middle East. The mass shooting followed more than 30 violent acts over the past year in Turkey, which is a member of the NATO alliance and a partner in the U.S.-led coalition fighting against the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq. The country endured multiple bombings in 2016, including three in Istanbul alone that authorities blamed on IS, a failed coup attempt in July and renewed conflict with Kurdish rebels in the southeast.
The Islamic State group claims to have cells in the country. Analysts think it was behind suicide bombings last January and March that targeted tourists on Istanbul’s iconic Istiklal Street as well as the attack at Ataturk Airport in June, which killed 45 people. In December, IS released a video purportedly showing the killing of two Turkish soldiers and urged its supporters to “conquer” Istanbul. Turkey’s jets regularly bomb the group in the northern Syrian town of Al-Bab. Turkish authorities have not confirmed the authenticity of the video.
Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said the attacker left a gun at the club and escaped by “taking advantage of the chaos” that ensued. Some customers reportedly jumped into the waters of the Bosporus to escape the attack.

Trial against dozens of suspects, including the alleged shooter in the New Year’s Eve attack in Istanbul killing 39 people, has begun.
