Question: Nursery schools should encourage familiarity with flag, anthem: guidelines

Children over the age of 3 should be “familiar” with the national flag and the national anthem, according to draft new guidelines for operating public and private nursery schools.
The guidelines, published on Tuesday by the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry, said nursery schools should be encouraged to ensure children under their care become “familiar with the national flag through activities held in and out of nursery schools.”
The report also stressed the importance of familiarizing children with the Kimigayo national anthem as well as traditional events and activities.
The guidelines offer recommendations for operating nursery schools, “with no necessary penalties,” said ministry official Kenta Shizume, adding that a nursery school serves both child care and educational functions.
The Hinomaru national flag, for example, could be displayed along with flags from other countries when schools hold sports days, Shizume said.
The same draft guideline on the national flag and national anthem was found in a draft revision of school curriculum guidelines for kindergartens published the same day by the education ministry.
With the launch of the program Comprehensive Support System for Children and Child-rearing in 2015, the government is making efforts to match the educational curricula of nursery schools and kindergartens.
Susumu Kutsuzawa of the education ministry said it was the first time the kindergarten guidelines mention the national anthem. He added that children will not be forced to sing the national anthem, but the guidelines highlight that school children might be taken to activities, such as a sporting events, that feature the song.
The amendments are scheduled to take effect from April 2018, and the ministries are accepting public comments until March 15.
Journalist Hiroko Inokuma, who has expertise in issues related to nursery schools, said even if the welfare ministry says the guidelines are not mandatory, schools have little choice but to comply.
“There are a variety of thoughts on the national flag and national anthem, so the schools and parents will be confused that it’s suddenly added to the guideline,” she added. “The welfare ministry, on top of accepting public comments, should explain the how and why in detail.”
University of Tokyo professor Kiyomi Akita said that displaying the Japanese flag at sporting events provided children with an opportunity to gain an understanding of Japanese culture. However, she added that schools should be cautious about their teaching methods, and that adults should not require children to sing the national anthem.
Meanwhile, Mami Endo, whose 3-year-old daughter attends day care in Edogawa Ward, Tokyo, praised the welfare ministry’s new guidelines for providing children in nursery school with the same education offered in kindergartens.
“One of the worries I had in having my child attend a nursery school instead of a kindergarten is the gap in education received until entering an elementary school,” Endo said.
She said she had no objection to her daughter becoming familiar with the national flag or the national anthem if the same education is provided in kindergartens.

The rebellious Trinamool Congress in West Bengal, in an open protest, has decided to defy the Central Government’s order dictating the code of conduct for Independence Day celebration in schools across India on August 15.
Calling the circular “an attempt to fiddle with the country’s federal structure”, the state government came out with a strong retaliation saying: “It has been decided by the state school education department that Independence Day 2017 will not be celebrated in that manner,” said the Hindustan Times report.

An irate WB education minister Partha Chatterjee slammed the Union government for issuing such directives to the states. “We do not need lessons of patriotism from BJP. Independence Day will be celebrated here this year in the same manner it has been celebrated all these years,” he said while addressing the media.
The Union Human Resource Development Ministry had written to all states on August 7 to create a “patriotic mood” by holding events between August 9 and 30 to realise the vision of a ‘New India’.
“It is desirable that this momentous occasion should be celebrated with an objective to create a festive and patriotic mood across the nation and a movement is created to involve every citizen of this country in the mission of realising the vision of a new India, which is clean and free from poverty, corruption, terrorism, communalism and casteism,” the circular stated, going on to suggest the “participatory activities” that “all the schools/educational institutions may be instructed to undertake”.

The schools were advised to submit supporting video recordings of the celebrations to the office of Sarva Shiksha Mission (SSM) by August 31, 2017.
The state’s Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on several occasions has stood against the Union Government’s “intrusions” in the state’s administrations.
The news comes just when the Uttar Pradesh government stoked a controversy by issuing a circular to the madrasas asking them to make video recording of the I-Day celebrations. According to the circular, flag hoisting will take place at 8am on Independence Day, followed by National Anthem.

Question: Russian plane shot down in Syria

Represent this text to find a news title for it:

Scroll for more content...
A Russian warplane was shot down Saturday in Syria, according to Russian state-run news agencies.
The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed one of its Su-25 warplanes was downed in Idlib province in northwest Syria, state media outlet RIA Novosti reported.
Militants shot down the plane in an area controlled by al-Nusra Front fighters, according to the RIA Novosti report. Russia and Turkey, which is responsible for a de-escalation zone in Idlib, were taking measures to return the pilot's body, the defense ministry said.
The ministry said more than 30 militants in the area were killed in a retaliatory strike, according to RIA Novosti, citing "radio intercepts."
The defense ministry said the pilot was able to eject from the aircraft before it crashed, according to state-run news agency TASS, but died while fighting al-Nusra fighters.
TASS reported that "according to preliminary information, the plane was shot down from a portable anti-aircraft missile system."
But a witness who spoke to CNN via Skype on condition of anonymity said the jet was shot down by Free Syrian Army fighters with a group called Jaish al-Naser as two jets were "striking the village of Massaran on the southern side of Saraqib."
The witness said that a pilot parachuted. A Free Syrian Army fighter in the area told the source that the pilot "engaged with FSA fighters with a pistol but they killed him eventually."
The source left the area after the second jet fired more missiles.
Other witnesses said the pilot was taken from the crash site, according to Rami Abdel Rahman, director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group. It was unclear whether the pilot was alive or dead, he said
The Idlib Media Center, an anti-government activist group, posted images that purportedly show the plane's wreckage.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime recently resumed airstrikes on rebel-held areas such as Idlib province, prompting tens of thousands of civilians to flee their homes, according to UN officials.
Idlib has long been the region where civilians and fighters have gone as they fled rebel-friendly areas under siege by the Syrian regime.
With the help of Russian forces, the Syrian government has managed to take back much of the country held by rebels. The regime has launched an offensive to retake Idlib, the only province that has come under full rebel control in the nearly 7-year-old conflict.

A Ukrainian military pilot accused by Russia of shooting down a Malaysian Airlines plane in 2014 killed himself in his home Sunday, authorities said.
Vladyslav Voloshyn, 29, was in his Mykolaiv apartment when he fatally shot himself with a pistol that had no license number, Ukrainian police said.
His wife heard a gunshot coming from his room and then called the police. Medics arrived at the home and transported Voloshyn to a hospital where he later died, according to cops.
Police described his death as a “suicide,” but it’s being investigated under the “premeditated murder” section of the Ukrainian penal code, according to the BBC.

His family told authorities he was recently in a depression state. The gun cops recovered is being examined.
Voloshyn was in charge of Mykolaiv airport after resigning from the air force. He used to fly combat missions against Russian-backed rebels and was considered a war hero in Ukraine, the BBC reported.
Russia alleged Voloshyn was involved in the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 on July 17, 2014 — an accusation he called a lie.

Question: UN says people disappearing in northern Mexico border city

represent this text to find a news title for it

Jessica Molina has not seen or heard from her husband since March, when Mexican marines broke through their door in Nuevo Laredo and took Trejo and a friend away.
Molina, a US citizen, said Wednesday that her 41-year-old Mexican husband, Jose Daniel Trejo Garcia, is a mechanic with an established business in Laredo, Texas, where they live.
They were only in Nuevo Laredo because she had recently had surgery in Monterrey and was returning to have stitches removed.
The office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights on Wednesday called on the Mexican government to 'take urgent measures to stop the wave of forced disappearances in Nuevo Laredo and surrounding areas' and said 'there are strong indications' that they were committed 'by a federal security force.'
The office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights on Wednesday called on the Mexican government to stop 'forced disappearances' in Nuevo Laredo. In this May 10, 2018 photo, women carry a banner calling attention to the cases of missing people
The UN office documented the disappearance of 23 people since the start of February in Nuevo Laredo and said there could be many more.
While it did not name those missing, Trejo Garcia is among those counted by the non-governmental Nuevo Laredo Human Rights Committee.
'We have documented 56 forced disappearances from January 20 to May 21,' said Raymundo Ramos, president of that group. 'The majority are attributed to personnel from special operations of the navy.'
Neither Mexico's navy, which has contributed marines to the country's fight against drug violence, nor the Interior Department, which is in charge of domestic security, immediately responded to requests for comment.
Tensions were high in Nuevo Laredo when Trejo disappeared on March 27.
On March 25, marines had been ambushed three times by gunmen. One marine was killed and several wounded. During the third clash, a helicopter was called in.
A family's car driving through a shootout was hit and a mother and two of her children were killed. The father and one boy were wounded, but survived.
The navy initially denied responsibility, but after an expert concluded the fatal shots came from above, it admitted its helicopter accidentally killed the civilians.
Molina said the marines who interrogated her and her husband at 1.30am on March 27 asked if they knew about what had happened in the helicopter incident. The couple explained why they were in Nuevo Laredo.
Her husband showed them the business cards for his auto repair shop, but they took him away without any search warrant or arrest order, she said.
'They were aiming at our heads the whole time,' she said. 'They can deny what happened, but what I saw were well-trained, uniformed personnel.'
The next morning she filed a report with the Attorney General's Office and the National Human Rights Commission. She went to the marine base, but they denied knowing anything about the incident.
Now Molina has joined with other families to search for hidden graves along the dirt roads surrounding Nuevo Laredo. This week they were accompanied by Federal Police for the first time, she said.
Among the cases documented by the UN, were the disappearances of 21 males and two females, including at least five minors.
According to statements to investigators, the disappearances typically occur at night while the victims are walking along or driving on roads. Sometimes their burned and bullet-riddled vehicles are found on roadsides.
'Many of these people would have been detained arbitrarily and disappeared while going about their daily lives,' said UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein. 'It is particularly horrific that at least five of the victims were minors, three of them very young, only 14 years old.
'These crimes, perpetrated during four months in only one municipality, are outrageous.'
According to federal data, there have been more than 6,000 registered disappearances in Tamaulipas since 2006, more than any other state. Earlier this month, protesters demanding government action about disappearances blocked a major commercial bridge connecting Nuevo Laredo with Texas.
Last week, Molina and other families met with a captain from the navy who promised to give them access to the marines' base and help them in their search, but there has not been any follow-up, she said.
The navy is the primary security presence in Nuevo Laredo where the Northeast cartel, an offshoot of the Zetas, dominates.
'If the navy is here to protect us, what are they doing to avoid these disappearances?' Molina said. 'How can this be happening in spite of their presence here?'

JOHANNESBURG - Police in Mozambique say 10 people have been beheaded in the country's north amid concerns that the machete-wielding attackers have links to Islamic extremism.
The Portuguese news agency Lusa cites police as saying Sunday's attack occurred near the rural community of Olumbi and that the suspects are being pursued. The dead include two teenagers.
This is not the first time fears have been raised over suspected extremist attacks in the remote north of the largely impoverished southern African nation.

Question: Final version of Kenilworth Neighbourhood Plan being drawn up

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

The final version of the Kenilworth Neighbourhood Plan is now being drawn up after the consultation period ended last week.
Kenilworth Town Council is now going through the 400-plus responses from individuals and organisations to the draft plan and using them to write a finalised plan, which the public will eventually get a yes-or-no vote on.
If adopted, it will help Kenilworth control the coming development from Warwick district’s Local Plan, which is bringing thousands of new homes to the town.
In a statement published on the town’s new website, Cllr George Illingworth said ‘useful and constructive comments’ have been made which will help improve the plan.
When asked what that meant, he suggested things like the amount of concerns raised over traffic, and asking Warwickshire County Council’s highways department to consider more junctions for improvement than what was in the draft version of the plan.
He also said some had put forward suggestions to improve green infrastructure, and said there was a mixed response about a new multi-storey car park, which he described as being like ‘Marmite’.
But he added: “I don’t know exactly what will change, it depends on what we all agree on. We have to be careful we don’t give more weight to a particular problem.
“There could be an equally big problem that not many people have mentioned.
“But we’ve had a lot of points made. Some require a rethink from us, and some require little action other than a bit of editing.
“We’ve got to pull together the full story and we’ll do that as quickly as we can.”
Cllr Illingworth could not commit to a publication date. He said: “My concern is to get it right rather than to rush it through.”
But the town council does not have a great deal of time to get the Neighbourhood Plan approved.
Warwick district’s Local Plan is highly likely to be adopted on Wednesday September 20, meaning developers can then start drafting plans and building.
If no Neighbourhood Plan is in place, Kenilworth will not be able to control the developments as much as it would like.
Once the final draft is ready, it will go to Warwick District Council for approval, then an independent inspector, and finally to Kenilworth’s residents in a referendum.

GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany (AP) — Americans Breezy Johnson and Lindsey Vonn posted the fastest times in World Cup downhill training on Saturday, less than two hours before the race.
Johnson timed 1 minute, 39.52 seconds on the Kandahar course and was 0.29 seconds faster than Vonn, who has won the race in the last two years and three times in total. Sofia Goggia of Italy was 0.01 further back in third.
Training was canceled on the previous two days, forcing organizers to stage the mandatory session just before the actual race.
Another downhill is scheduled for Sunday in the last weekend of World Cup racing before the Pyeongchang Olympics.

GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany — Lindsey Vonn edged Italian rival Sofia Goggia by two hundredths of a second in a women's World Cup downhill on Saturday for her 80th career victory.
The American standout trailed Goggia by 0.08 at the last split time but overcame the deficit in the final section. Cornelia Huetter of Austria was 0.13 behind in third.
Vonn and Goggia, the only racers with more than one downhill victory this season, are the main favourites for gold at the Olympic downhill in Pyeongchang on Feb. 21.
Shortly after Vonn's run, her American teammate Jacqueline Wiles suffered unknown injuries in a crash and had to be transported off the hill by helicopter.
Another downhill is scheduled for Sunday, the last World Cup race before the Olympics.

Question: Buy Bitcoin: Cryptocurrency purchases banned by banks in major crackdown

GETTY Two major US banks have banned their customers form buying cryptocurrency with credit cards
US banking giants JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America banned account users from buying cryptocurrency using credit cards after the price collapsed following highs in December. A JP Morgan spokesman said: “At this time, we are not processing cryptocurrency purchases using credit cards, due to the volatility and risk involved.” "We will review the issue as the market evolves." A spokesman for Bank of America confirmed that the bank had taken the same approach.
The ruling follows dramatic falls in cryptocurrency prices after records highs in the last two months. Bitcoin stopped just short of $20,000 as it hit its highest ever levels in December before tumbling to almost half of the amount. Volatility has seen prices change by thousands of pounds in hours after the cryptocurrency market became global news.

The major US banks have reacted to the unstable market by seeking to limit their customer's involvement. The move is likely to raise fears that other banks may follow suit and place restrictions on crypto trading. Citigroup is set to make a decision on cryptocurrency after announcing a review.

However, at the same time as these moves retail companies are making it easier for their customers to buy products using Bitcoin, Etheruem, Ripple and other online coins. The news comes after India’s finance minister Arun Jaitley vowed to ban cryptocurrency and discontinue the use of bitcoin.

India’s government said it does not consider cryptocurrencies to be legal tender and will try to phase out payments using coins such as bitcoin. In a meeting on Thursday Mr Jaitley renewed India's commitment to ending the use of BTC and other cryptocurrencies. The ban, he said, was India’s continuing fight against money laundering and the funding of terrorism.

The booming cryptocurrency made headlines a week ago for breaking the $3,000 barrier, up from under $1,000 on January 1 2017.

It may be volatile but it's not worthless.” Today’s high was £3,341.67 ($4,338.16), according to the latest data from CoinDesk. The price of bitcoin has been boosted by heavy demand in Japan where the currency was adopted as legal tender in April.

Question: Tennis-Nadal eases to 10th Barcelona Open title

BARCELONA, April 30 Rafael Nadal won a record-extending 10th Barcelona Open title on Sunday by thrashing Dominic Thiem of Austria 6-4 6-1, collecting his second claycourt title in a row.
Nadal, who won the Monte Carlo Masters for a 10th time last week, romped to the title without dropping a set on the newly renamed Rafa Nadal court at the Real Tennis Club in Barcelona, and needed just 90 minutes to finish off Thiem.
Thiem had beaten the 14-times Grand Slam champion on clay in the Argentina Open last year and earned a place in the final by beating world number one Andy Murray for the first time in his career on Saturday, but he proved no match for Nadal.
The Mallorcan took a while to impose himself on Thiem on an overcast day in Barcelona with the cold weather slowing down the court.
Thiem earned the first breakpoint of the match but Nadal recovered and eventually took the first set by breaking his opponent in the 10th game.
There was no let-up in the second set from Nadal, who broke the 23-year-old Austrian twice in a row before serving for the championship. (Editing by Clare Fallon)

BARCELONA Rafael Nadal reached the final of the Barcelona Open by dispatching Argentine Horacio Zeballos 6-3 6-4 on Saturday to book his place in Sunday's showpiece against Dominic Thiem where he will be looking to win the tournament for a 10th time.
Nadal struck the first blow by breaking the unseeded Zeballos in the fourth game and the difference in quality between the two players soon began to show.
Zeballos earned two break points in the fourth game of the second set but 14-time grand-slam winner Nadal recovered to hold his serve and wrapped up his victory in 94 minutes, setting up a re-match with Thiem, who beat him last year on clay in the Argentina Open semi-finals.
Thiem knocked out world number one Andy Murray 6-2 3-6 6-4 for the first time in his career, becoming the first Austrian since Thomas Muster in 1996 to reach the final of the claycourt tournament.
Just as in Friday's gruelling quarter-final with Albert Ramos-Vinolas, Murray got off to a bad start.
The Briton relied on his serve to recover the second set but could not sustain the level and bowed out.

Question: Supreme Court takes up challenge by crisis pregnancy centers

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is hearing arguments in a free speech fight over California’s attempt to regulate anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers.
The case being argued Tuesday involves information required by a state law that the centers must provide clients about the availability of contraception, abortion and pre-natal care, at little or no cost. Centers that are unlicensed also must post a sign that says so.
The centers say that they are being forced to deliver a message with which they disagree because their aim is to steer women away from abortion.
California and abortions rights group that backed the law say its goal is to provide accurate information about the range of options facing a pregnant woman.
The outcome also could affect laws in other states that seek to regulate doctors’ speech.
In Louisiana, Texas and Wisconsin, doctors must display a sonogram and describe the fetus to most pregnant women considering an abortion, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which supports abortion rights. Similar laws have been blocked in Kentucky, North Carolina and Oklahoma.
Doctors’ speech has also been an issue in non-abortion cases. A federal appeals court struck down parts of a 2011 Florida law that sought to prohibit doctors from talking about gun safety with their patients. Under the law, doctors faced fines and the possible loss of their medical licenses for discussing guns with patients.
In another lawsuit over regulating crisis pregnancy centers, a federal appeals court in New York struck down parts of a New York City ordinance, although it upheld the requirement for unlicensed centers to say that they lack a license.
The abortion-rights group NARAL Pro-Choice California was a prime sponsor of the California law. NARAL contends that the centers mislead women about their options and try to pressure them to forgo abortion. Estimates of the number of crisis pregnancy centers in the U.S. run from 2,500 to more than 4,000, compared with fewer than 1,500 abortion providers, women’s rights groups said in a Supreme Court filing.
California’s law was challenged by the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates, an organization with ties to 1,500 pregnancy centers nationwide and 140 in California.

In the window of the Hartford Women’s Center on the corner of Jefferson and Main streets, there is a sign that asks in purple lettering, “Pregnant?”
“You have options,” it reassures. “We care. We can help.”
The options may be confusing, however, and have led to a proposed new city ordinance that would require crisis pregnancy centers, which are known as CPCs, to disclose the medical credentials of their staff. The ordinance, which is on the council’s agenda for Monday night, also would prohibit false or misleading advertising.
Some have mistaken the women’s center for its neighbor, Hartford GYN, a longstanding abortion provider and family planning clinic that shares the same street corner as the office with the purple-lettered sign.
Allegations raised by Hartford GYN staff — which prompted Hartford’s mayor last month to propose an ordinance cracking down on crisis pregnancy centers — portray the center as willfully deceptive, masquerading as a reproductive health clinic while dispensing mostly faith-based, non-medical advice.

Hartford GYN and the Hartford Women’s Center stand just 20 feet apart, but the ideological underpinnings of the two centers could not be more distant. The Hartford Women’s Center is a faith-based operation that opened in May to intercept women on their way to Hartford GYN and convince them to forgo abortion.
In an emailed statement, the Hartford Women’s Center’s director, Leticia Velasquez, said: “Our mission at Hartford Women’s Center is to ‘intercept’ young women who feel they have no other choice than abortion.”
Similar Name, Different Agenda
With its name, its location and even the color of the window sign’s lettering — purple, the color often worn by pro-choice advocates — the clinic’s staff alleges that the Women’s Center has tried to confuse women into mistaking the CPC’s offices for Hartford GYN’s. And they say Women’s Center volunteers have misrepresented themselves, too, either by implying they were Hartford GYN staff or by steering the abortion clinic’s patients into their own offices for “appointments.”
“Women are being intentionally deceived,” said Jamie Beers, Hartford GYN’s administrator and an employee of 19 years. “We’re very concerned.”
Velasquez declined to meet for an interview to discuss her organization and the allegations made by Hartford GYN.
Judith Mascolo, a West Hartford physician who volunteers at the Women’s Center, said any characterizations of the Women’s Center as deceptive or misleading are “completely untrue.”
“We do not deceive anyone,” Mascolo said. “We do not harass any woman approaching the abortion center.”
Mascolo did say the center’s volunteers are trained to approach women along the shared walkway between the two centers, though she maintained that no volunteer has ever coerced or misled the women into entering the CPC.
“If the woman says she is not interested, she is left alone,” Mascolo said. “If she wants to talk, then she is invited into our center.”
The Hartford Women’s Center operates under the auspices of St. Gerard’s Center for Life, which has another location two miles away on Eaton Street. But when the Jefferson Street site opened in May, it was named the Hartford Women’s Center — strikingly similar to The Women’s Centers, a reproductive health network in the Northeast and the parent organization of Hartford GYN.
If that’s confusing, representatives from the abortion providers say it’s deliberate.

“They chose that name intentionally to try and mimic ours,” said Roxanne Sutocky, director of community outreach for Women’s Centers clinics in Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. “Changing their name to ‘The Women’s Center’ gives them a different connotation. It’s deceptive. They’re trying to distance themselves from their religious background.”
The Women’s Center advertises “limited obstetrical ultrasounds,” which Mascolo said checks for three things: the fetus’s placement in the uterus, its age and its heartbeat. The ultrasounds are not as comprehensive as those administered by an obstetrics office, she said, which scan for anomalies, gauge ovary health and check the placenta.
Velasquez has said previously that the Hartford Women’s Center has three licensed medical professionals on staff: Mascolo, who is a family physician, and two registered nurses. Mascolo said the center’s medical staff are only on-site on Tuesdays, the day the center offers ultrasounds.
"There's no reason to have a licensed medical professional there on other days because we aren't doing medical procedures,’’ she said. “We are not a medical provider, so there's no reason for us to be there every day."
Hartford GYN staff said their patients have been approached on the shared walkway and offered $50 and a free ultrasound by Women’s Center volunteers. In a series of public Facebook posts, Velasquez offered $50 Visa cards to pregnant women to participate in their ultrasound training program. Mascolo said it was true — they’d been training their medical staff and were compensating women to take ultrasounds — but defended the practice, calling it standard procedure. In another public Facebook post, Velasquez wrote beneath a picture of a dresser she planned to convert to a coffee bar: “Think of how it will be used to lure abortion minded women off the path to the abortion clinic to come and have a coffee and talk it over and hopefully bring their precious babies to term!”
Nationwide Conflict
In November, the U.S. Supreme Court announced that it will address a similar controversy surrounding a California law that requires CPCs to disclose their medical credentials and tell women that they have access to free or low-cost contraceptives. The case, NIFL vs. Becerra, will revisit a U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in 2016 that upheld the state’s right to regulate professional speech.
Peter Wolfgang, director of the Family Institute of Connecticut, said he will be following the Supreme Court case closely. The Hartford ordinance, Wolfgang said, is in the same vein as the California law — “an ideologically driven overreach from the abortion industry to shut down the competition and keep pregnancy centers from helping these women with their health and helping them choose life.”

(John Woike / Hartford Courant)
“What this really is about,” he continued, “is CPCs now outnumbering abortion centers even in Connecticut. They want to take out the competition.”
Nationally, both supporters and detractors of CPCs claim they outnumber abortion providers by a wide margin. It’s a difficult claim to verify; there is no true tally of CPCs, which are not required to register with state or federal agencies. Politifact estimated that there could be anywhere between 1,800 and 8,000 CPCs in the country. The Guttmacher Institute, a research group affiliated with Planned Parenthood, last counted 1,700 abortion clinics in 2011.

Question: Florida shooting suspect qualifies for public defender, judge rules

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

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (Reuters) - The man charged with killing 17 people at Florida high school qualifies to have a public defender represent him at taxpayer expense, even though he may inherit money from his late mother’s estate, a Florida judge ruled on Tuesday.
FILE PHOTO: Nikolas Cruz, facing 17 charges of premeditated murder in the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, appears in court for a status hearing in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, U.S. February 19, 2018. REUTERS/Mike Stocker/Pool
The 19-year-old suspect, Nikolas Cruz, has a current net worth of about $28,000 and access to only part of that sum, Broward County Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer wrote in a court ruling. As a result, paying for a private lawyer would impose a substantial hardship on the defendant, she said.
The judge said she would reconsider the question of whether Cruz qualified for a public defender should he inherit money from the estate, according to a court filing.
Cruz is accused of using an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle on Feb. 14 to kill 17 students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and wound 17 others. Cruz is a former student at the school in Parkland.
At an April 11 hearing on Cruz’s finances, Melissa McNeil of the Broward Public Defender’s office told the court that Cruz wanted to donate to charity any money left to him in a trust set up by his mother.
Before the shooting, Cruz told the parents of a schoolmate who took him in after his mother’s death that he would inherit $800,000 when he turns 22. His mother died in November 2017, according to a report in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel newspaper. His father died a few years earlier.
Any money that Cruz inherits would have to be split with his younger brother, Zachary.
Broward Public Defender Howard Finkelstein also said in an email on Tuesday that the attorney handling the estate has not yet filed to open it for administration.
Prosecutors have signaled their intention to seek the death penalty for Cruz in the massacre, which was the deadliest high school shooting in U.S. history. His public defense attorneys have said he would plead guilty if prosecutors withdrew the threat of capital punishment, but they have declined to do that.
“We still stand ready to plead guilty to 34 consecutive life sentences without parole,” Finkelstein said in an email to Reuters on Tuesday.
“We still believe it is in the best interests of the families and the community to end this case,” he wrote.

The brother of Parkland school shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz has been arrested for allegedly trespassing on the school grounds of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

Zachary Cruz, 18, who was arrested at 4:30 p.m. Monday afternoon, allegedly rode his skateboard through school grounds, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office. According to the arrest report, he told deputies he wanted to “reflect on the school shooting and soak it in.”
His brother, Nikolas Cruz, 19, is accused of killing 17 people in the Valentine's Day massacre at the high school.

Nikolas Cruz was formally arraigned last Wednesday on a 34-count indictment related to last month's mass shooting at a South Florida high school, for which the 19-year-old is now facing the death penalty. A plea of not guilty was entered on his behalf, though defense attorney Melisa McNeill emphasized that Nikolas Cruz is willing "at any time" to plead guilty "in exchange for a waiver of the death sentence" and instead spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Deputies said Zachary Cruz had been warned to stay away from the school campus previously, according to the arrest report. The alleged trespassing was captured on CCTV, the report states.

PITTSBURGH — A hard slide by Pittsburgh pitcher Joe Musgrove led to the Pirates and Chicago Cubs emptying their benches in another tense moment in the series between NL Central rivals.
Musgrove slid hard into second baseman Javier Baez to break up a potential double play in the third inning on Wednesday night. Baez was knocked off balance but did not hit the ground.
No punches were thrown as both teams milled around the infield and there were no ejections.
Crew chief Gerry Davis instituted a video replay review to see if Musgrove interfered with Baez. However, replay officials at Major League Baseball's central office in New York informed Davis that it was not a reviewable play.

1. Aquitaine adventure, Moliets-et-Maa
Just an hour from Biarritz, the peaceful Atlantic coast area around the village of Moliets has an undiscovered feel, due to its minimally built-up surroundings and long, sweeping expanses of beach edged with sand dunes. The space between the woods and the long, thinly populated beaches makes for a spectacular backdrop – ideal for a family trip that can combine both adventure and relaxation. From high-rope courses to surfing lessons, there’s plenty to do. Madame Vacances, which has recently changed its name to Ski France/Summer France , is a similar set-up to Center Parcs but with a more luxurious self-catering villa style and lots of activities in the beautiful pine forest surroundings by the beach.

5. Château La Vernède, Languedoc
Tranquil Château La Vernède is a world apart from the bustling nearby cities of Béziers and Narbonne. A short drive from the charming village of Nissan, the estate offers two villas, one suited to small families (two bedrooms), one perfect for groups (four bedrooms). Facilities include a beautiful park, a heated pool and a spa area. Also on site is a 120-hectare vineyard, with plenty of decent wine to enjoy – and there’s history, too: the partially excavated remains of a Roman villa lie in the garden. Should you wish to leave this haven, Béziers, with supermarkets, restaurants and walks along the Canal du Midi, is 11 miles east; Narbonne’s food market is 10 miles west. There’s a riding stable down the road, plus beaches 15 minutes’ drive south.

Question: Merkel warns Trump against trade war

represent the article to find a fitting news title

BERLIN: German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday (Jul 4) warned US President Donald Trump against unleashing an all-out trade war after he threatened to impose steep tariffs on cars from the European Union.
In a speech to the Bundestag federal parliament, Merkel said both sides were effectively locked in a "trade conflict" since Trump's decision to slap punitive tariffs on steel and aluminium imports.

"It is worthwhile to prevent this conflict from becoming a real war," she said, adding however that this "would require both sides" to take steps.
Trump on Sunday charged that Europe is "possibly as bad as China" on trade, as he reiterated that he is mulling import taxes of 20 per cent on EU cars.
The EU has slapped tariffs on iconic US products including bourbon, jeans and Harley-Davidson motorcycles, as a symbolic tit-for-tat response to the metals duties.
Taking aim at Trump over his complaint that the EU, and in particular economic powerhouse Germany, is running a massive trade surplus against the US, Merkel said that his calculation is skewed as it is based only on goods, not services.

"If you include services like the digital services, then you have a completely different trade balance sheet, with the US showing a surplus against the EU," she noted.
"It is almost old-fashioned to only calculate goods and not include services," Merkel said.
Merkel has previously voiced backing for a "digital tax" that would target multinationals like Amazon, Facebook or Google, which have come under fire for shifting earnings around Europe in order to pay lower taxes.
But the EU is divided over the proposal, as countries including Luxembourg and Ireland are loath to see US tech giants head for the exit.
With the US-EU trade row showing few signs of easing, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker is heading to Washington by the end of July to seek a way out of the conflict.
RELIABLE NATO PARTNER
Relations between the US and other industrialised powers have turned increasingly tense as Trump has pushed his "America First" stance with punishing consequences for trading partners, irregardless of whether they are allies or adversaries.
Historically strong ties between Berlin and Washington have also taken a beating since the US leader repeatedly skewered Germany over its record trade surplus as well as its relatively small defence spending.
Merkel acknowledged that Berlin has not been investing enough on defence, but stressed that it will push outlays to 1.5 per cent of gross domestic product by 2025.
Nevertheless, Berlin's planned spending is still short of the NATO goal of 2 per cent that Trump insists on.
And despite its 1.5 per cent pledge, its latest budget forecast for the coming years shows the proportion actually falling to 1.23 per cent in 2022 from 1.24 per cent this year - something that could emerge as a point of contention when NATO leaders gather in Brussels next Wednesday and Thursday (Jul 11-12).
Merkel stressed however that "Germany is a reliable partner in NATO".
"We are the second biggest provider of troops, we are participating in several missions and Germany will remain a reliable partner of NATO," she said.
Merkel said "wars are raging on our front door," listing the Syrian war, Islamic State group militancy, unrest in Afghanistan and the conflict in Ukraine.
"To not be prepared for defence of the alliance would be negligent," she said.

GETTY The Social Democrats have launched a desperate bid to topple Angela Merkel as German election nears
Social Democratic Party (SPD) chief Thomas Opperman claimed Angela Merkel has jeopardised her own chances as she aims to remain in power, adding the Chancellor has relied heavily on emulating the policies of former leader Gerhard Schröder. Announcing a tougher stance for his party in the weeks ahead, Thomas Opperman said: "The honeymoon period for Frau Merkel is over.” In an interview with German paper Tagesspiegel he said until polls opened on September 24, the SPD would continue to confront Mrs Merkel "day in and day out with the challenges and problems of our country, but also with the opportunities it has lost."
According to her critics, Mrs Merkel has relied heavily on the country’s economic success that was borne from the reforms of former Federal chancellor Gerhard Schröder. Mr Oppermann claims under Mr Schröder, Germany became an economically fit state. But he said under Mrs Merkel’s control, there have been only problems. He said: “The country lives on the substance, our prosperity is at stake, because Merkel has no plan for the future.” Mrs Merkel, however, claims the country’s prosperous days have in fact come under her watch. Citing her success in the employment sector, she said this was down to the introduction of the minimum wage by the grand coalition, along with fresh guidelines for temporary workers - usually a winning area for the Social Democrats.
GETTY Angela Merkel is aiming for a fourth term in office
When launching her election campaign, Mrs Merkel said: “The minimum wage has brought many people more security. “Social market management always needs political intervention.” However, it is on foreign policy that the SPD feels her downfall may be on the cards. Mr Oppermann has called on Mrs Merkel for a more resolute response to the war rhetoric loudly pushed by President Trump, especially on North Korean matters. He said: “We expect the German government to take a clear position not only against North Korea, but also against Donald Trump.”

According to the SPD politician, the US president’s words are continuing to fan the flames of conflict with the hermit nation, adding: "This escalation is a serious threat, Trump literally plays with fire." Mr Oppermann used his election campaign to heap further criticism on statements, or the lack of, made by the Chancellor, citing her responses as “inadequate”. He added: “The world may be facing nuclear war, but the Chancellor has been silent for days on end before she has uttered two dull sentences. “Merkel now had to clearly tell Trump that there would be no support from the Federal Republic for nuclear preventive action by the USA against North Korea. “Trump must know that Germany expects the US to contain the conflict with diplomatic means ‘in close cooperation with China and Russia in the World Security Council.’ “In addition, the Chancellor had to make it clear to the US President that, in the event of a North Korean attack on the US base of Guam in the Pacific, the assistance obligation under the NATO Treaty did not apply. "The attitude of the SPD is clear: Germany will in no circumstances participate in such a military confrontation with North Korea."

'['', 'Polish priest set for sainthood criticized for anti-Semitism']' == '['Represent the article to find a fitting news title', 'WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Pope Francis\' decision to move the World War II-era head of Poland\'s Catholic Church a step closer to possible sainthood has hit a stumbling block, after two leading Jewish organizations and even Polish Catholic publications called him out for anti-Semitic views.\nIt\'s not clear if the protests will derail the sainthood cause of Cardinal August Hlond, but in the past the Vatican has taken such protests seriously and at the very least put the cases up for closer review.\nIn May, Francis approved a decree recognizing Hlond\'s "heroic virtues." Now the Vatican must confirm a miracle attributed to Hlond\'s intercession for him to be beatified, and a second one for him to be made a saint.\nHlond, born July 5, 1881, was the highest-ranking church official in Poland from 1926 to his death in 1948. He is highly respected in this overwhelmingly Catholic country for having rejected Nazi Germany\'s proposals for a collaborative government, and for protecting the church\'s independence during the first years of communism.\nAdvertisement\nIn its protest, the American Jewish Committee pointed to a passage in a 1936 pastoral letter by Hlond, who was Poland\'s primate then, that showed his attitude toward Jews and echoed the general line of the Catholic Church of the time.\nThe group also criticized Hlond\'s failure to condemn the killings of at least 40 Jews in Poland in 1946 by a mob and secret security. It argued that moving forward with the canonization process will be seen as an "expression of approval of Cardinal Hlond\'s extremely negative approach toward the Jewish community."\n"It\'s very difficult to see how you can still claim that the man was a paragon (of saintliness) when the data is so explicit," AJC\'s director of interreligious affairs, Rabbi David Rosen, told The Associated Press.\nThe Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Nazi-hunting body, said making Hlond a saint would "further embolden" Poland\'s right-wing government in its "headlong efforts to selectively rewrite Polish activities from that tragic era."\nThe disputed passage in Hlond\'s letter reads: "It is a fact that the Jews are fighting against the Catholic Church, persisting in free thinking, and are the vanguard of godlessness, Bolshevism and subversion."\nIt has frequently been cited as evidence of the Catholic Church\'s institutional anti-Semitism prior to the modernizing reforms of the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s.\nBut Hlond also wrote that there are many "ethically outstanding, noble and respectable" Jews, and that all Jews should be "respected and loved as persons and as neighbors."\nIn what appeared to be a condemnation of German Nazi laws, the letter warned against "imported from abroad" anti-Semitism that\'s "incompatible with Catholic ethics."\n"It is not allowed to attack Jews, beat them, injure them or slander them," Hlond said in the letter, which priests read out in churches at Lent in 1936.\nHe said it was "good" to support Polish businesses and avoid Jewish ones, but it was "forbidden" to "ravage Jewish shops, destroy the goods of the Jews, break windows, throw firecrackers at their homes."\nRosen, who has decades of experience in Catholic-Jewish relations, said the process of making Hlond a saint should be halted.\nBut the Polish priest promoting Hlond\'s case before the Vatican\'s Congregations for the Causes of Saints said the criticism is "unfounded" because Hlond\'s words had been taken out of context. Mgr. Boguslaw Koziol has discussed all the documents with Vatican experts, and insists Hlond preached love regardless of nation or religion.\nKoziol believes that the whole passage — titled "From our Sins" — was progressive for its time and aimed to protect Jews from violence. But he admits it also included questionable ideas.\nHlond\'s critics "have focused on this negative part of the letter, but are not quoting any other part," he told the AP.\nCatholic weekly Tygodnik Powszechny argued that the letter failed to protect Jews from the attacks of Polish nationalists.\nIt said Hlond didn\'t "suggest any way out of the \'Jewish problem,\' or any good plan for a dignified and peaceful coexistence in one country. One could protest: these were not yet the times of dialogue. But one may also reply: shouldn\'t we expect candidates for sainthood to be larger than the routine thinking of their times?"\nReferring to the July 4, 1946 pogrom in the town of Kielce — where a mob and secret security forces killed at least 40 Jews and two Poles who were defending them — Rosen said that Hlond "did not condemn the pogrom nor urge Poles to stop murdering Jews. Rather, he pointed out that the Jews were all communists or supporters of communism and that the pogrom was their own fault."\nKoziol, however, blames Poland\'s post-war communist rule for Hlond\'s reticence. Any direct condemnation would have meant a confrontation with the regime and repercussions for the church.\nIn 2005, the Vatican shelved the planned beatification of French priest the Rev. Leon Dehon and launched an inquiry after complaints about his anti-Semitic views.']' != '['Represent the article to find a fitting news title', 'Married gay Russian couple flees\nA Russian gay couple who had their marriage in Denmark recognized in Russia due to a legal loophole have left their homeland after they were charged with damaging documents, and police told them they would not be protected from anti-gay vigilantes.

अहमदाबाद। पहले चरण के मतदान के बाद गुजरात में चुनावी प्रचार तेज हो गया है। सोमवार को पीएम मोदी ने पाटन की चुनावी रैली के दौरान कांग्रेस पर हमला बोला।
पीएम मोदी ने रैली के दौरान कहा कि पहले चरण में कांग्रेस की हार तय है, इसलिए वे इवीएम का बहाना लेकर आरोप लगा रहे हैं। इसके अलावा उन्होंने गुजरात के गांवों में जाकर लोगों के बीच बच्चों की शिक्षा के प्रति जागरुकता जगाने की बात कही। साथ ही कांग्रेस की कमियों की ओर भी इशारा किया।
पीएम ने कहा, जब हम किसानों के पास गए, कृषि महोत्‍सव किया, हम अमीरों की मदद के लिए नहीं गए थे। हम गरीबों के बीच गए। दुखद है कि कांग्रेस नेताओं का जन्‍म सोने के चम्‍मच के साथ हुआ है, इसलिए वे कभी नहीं समझ पाएंगे कि गरीबी क्‍या है।

Question: Protesters pull down Confederate statue at NC courthouse

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

DURHAM, N.C. (WNCN) – A crowd of protesters gathered outside the old Durham County courthouse on Main Street Monday in opposition to a Confederate monument in front of the government building.
Around 7:10 p.m. a woman climbed the statue using a ladder and attached a rope around the statue.
Moments later, The crowd pulled on the rope and the statue fell.
In 1924, the Confederate statue was dedicated to Durham.
Engraved on the front of the monument is “The Confederate States of America.”
Above it, is a statue representing a soldier who fought in the civil war.
“It needs to be removed,” Loan Tran, an organizer, said earlier Monday. “These Confederate statues in Durham, in North Carolina, all across the country.”
There are similar monuments in several cities around North Carolina.
Tran doesn’t want to see it anymore.
“When I see a Confederate statue in downtown Durham, or really anywhere, it fills me with a lot of rage and frustration,” she said.
Organizers say tonight’s protest is a reaction to the events in Charlottesville this past weekend.
“People can be mobilized and people are angry and when enough people are angry, we don’t have to look to politicians to sit around in air conditions and do nothing when we can do things ourselves,” said Takiyah Thompson, a protester.
The statue is on county property.
In an email to CBS North Carolina, Durham County spokeswoman Dawn Dudley says:
“Due to a North Carolina state law passed a few years ago, Durham County is prohibited from removing or making substantive alteration to historical monuments and memorials. I share this to say that there is a statute in place making the efforts you mention below difficult to move forward. I would assume that the only thing possible are steps to reverse the law.”
This statue has been the center of controversy before after graffiti was spray painted on it a few years ago.
The group that met Monday say their purpose is to “smash white supremacy.”

Corrections and clarifications: An earlier version contained the wrong first name of Cody Hart.
Protesters took to the streets of America again Monday in the wake of Saturday's demonstrations and violent actions by white nationalists in Charlottesville, Va., over the planned removal of a Robert E. Lee statue in the city. A 32-year-old woman died after authorities say a 20-year-old Ohio man rammed his car into a crowd of counterprotesters in Charlottesville.
At Trump Tower, where the president was expected at his New York City home, protesters and heavy security gathered to greet the president as he returned for the first time since his inauguration in January.
More than 1,000 demonstrators were in pens police erected across the street from Trump Tower by early Monday evening, hours before his expected arrival.
An inflatable caricature of Trump rose above pedestrians on a nearby block. On Twitter, a photo surfaced of protesters who made it past security pressing signs against a window in the skyscraper.

Police stationed sand-filled sanitation trucks as barriers around the tower and layers of metal police barricades around the main entrance.
Amid shouts of "New York hates you" and "Black Lives Matter," project manager Cody Hart held up a sign that read "Dump Trump" as he stood Monday night with hundreds of other protesters about a block from Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue.

"I am here to protest the person that is supposedly our president," said Hart, 42, of Manhattan, as the chants turned into a simple one-word expletive beginning with the letter "a."
Hart said the president's response to the weekend violence — given earlier in a speech at the White House — was "despicable."
"It is not even human ... his lack of response," Hart said.
In his remarks, Trump condemned white supremacists.
"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.
New York University sophomore Marc Licciardi said he was at Monday night's protest outside Trump Tower because he blames the president for spreading rhetoric that he believes encourages the sort of violence that happened in Virginia.

"He has implied in the past that it's OK to use violence against peaceful protesters," said Licciardi, 20, who is studying politics and journalism.
The student said Trump has made incendiary comments encouraging violence by law enforcement while in office and on the campaign trail.
"I'm out here because I'm just outraged," he said.
Henry Lancaster, a tech industry worker who lives in Brooklyn, held up a sign that read, "I'm moving to Europe" as the crowd of hundreds outside Trump Tower swelled as hours passed.
When asked what brought him to Monday's protest, the 30-year-old said, "There's a lot of reasons — socialized medicine being one, education, jobs, lack of a workers' movement in this country. Pick one."
Lancaster responded to a question about his sign with a chuckle and, "Why not?"
In Washington, Metro D.C. Police said demonstrators were marching from Lafayette Park across from the White House up Pennsylvania Avenue toward Trump International Hotel and the U.S. Capitol.
In Durham, N.C., protesters met near a Confederate monument downtown, then toppled the statue, according to WNCN-TV.

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper called the deadly violence in Charlottesville "unacceptable" via Twitter Monday night and said "there is a better way to remove these monuments."
For nearly two hours earlier Monday, protesters in Nashville urged Tennessee's leaders to finally take action and remove a bust of Confederate soldier and early leader of the Ku Klux Klan Nathan Bedford Forrest from the state Capitol in Nashville.
They sang songs such as This Little Light of Mine and voiced their frustrations in chants — “White silence is violence,” “Which side are you on?” and “Tear it down.”
Ultimately, they made their way from the Forrest bust between the House and Senate chambers to Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam's office, demanding an answer from him on the issue.

“My position on this issue has not changed — I do not believe Nathan Bedford Forrest should be one of the individuals we honor at the Capitol," Haslam said in a statement. "The General Assembly has established a process for addressing these matters and I strongly encourage the Capitol Commission and the Historical Commission to act.”
The bust of Forrest has become a controversial issue in Tennessee. Removing it would take a two-thirds vote from the Tennessee Historical Commission, thanks to a law state lawmakers approved in 2016.
After the weekend's events, Moral Movement Tennessee turned its attention to the Forrest bust as scrutiny has intensified across the nation on what to do with symbols of the Confederacy that dot town squares and public buildings across the South.
Justin Jones, the organizer of the protest at the Capitol, said they wanted to “send a message to our white brothers and sisters that white supremacy hurts you, too.”
At one point, more than 80 people took part in demanding the removal of the Forrest bust.
Joy Bronson, who was among the protesters and grew up in predominantly white neighborhoods, said that since the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in 2012, racism has held an enormous space in her life.
Martin was an unarmed black teen shot by a neighborhood watch officer in a gated community in Florida.
“When issues like this arise, and they don't really arise because they are really always here, my grief comes from being in these predominantly white spaces where people constantly say they are shocked over what has happened,” she said. “My question is always, ‘Are you not listening when I’m speaking? Are you not listening when other people of color are speaking?’ ”
Meanwhile, Franklin Pastor Kevin Riggs, who led the group in prayer, told those gathered that “it’s time for the white community to stand up.”
Late Monday afternoon, Texas A&M University abruptly canceled a planned white supremacist rally on its campus next month, amid bipartisan pressure from state lawmakers who said hatred should be rejected in all forms — despite First Amendment protections.
An announcement on the House floor by Republican Rep. John Raney said A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp had opted to scuttle the event set for Sept. 11 because of concerns police would be stretched thin providing security. The A&M System confirmed the cancellation and was working on a statement.
A former A&M student named Preston Wiginton had been organizing a “white lives matter” rally in College Station, Texas, saying he was inspired by Saturday’s “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, when a vehicle plowed into a group of counterprotesters, killing at least one and injuring 19.
Wiginton said he’d invited prominent white nationalist Richard Spencer to address the Texas rally. Spencer spoke at an A&M event in December, when he was met by hundreds of protesters, many of whom gathered at Kyle Field football stadium to hear music and speeches highlighting diversity and unity to counter Spencer’s appearance.
Word of the cancellation came hours after Dallas Democratic Rep. Helen Giddings gave a House floor speech while nearly all of the chamber’s 150 members stood beside her. She urged university administrators to “unequivocally denounce and fight against this violent group” adding “all of us in the state of Texas want to say with one voice, Texas will not stand for hate.”
On Monday, James Alex Fields Jr. of Ohio was denied bail in Virginia Monday, making his court appearance via video from jail.
The hearing for Fields is set for Aug. 25. He has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Heather Heyer of Charlottesville and several other counts.
U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, appearing on Good Morning America Monday morning, said the attack, "does meet the definition of domestic terrorism in our statute."
"You can be sure we will charge and advance the investigation towards the most serious charges that can be brought because this is unequivocally an unacceptable, evil attack," Sessions told ABC News. "Terrorism investigators from the FBI are working on the case as well as civil rights division FBI agents."

LONDON, Dec 11 (Reuters) - The following FTSE 100 companies will go ex-dividend on Thursday, after which investors will no longer qualify for the latest dividend payout.

By Sindhu Chandrasekaran March 31 Most Southeast Asian stock markets edged down in sluggish trade on Friday, in line with broader Asia, but Indonesia eked out some early gains to hit a record high for the second time this week. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan retreated 0.5 percent, as investors balanced positions on the last day of the quarter, but was on track for a near 13 percent gain year to date. "At this point, the end of the quarter, most of the markets are simply moving sideways, as they prepare for the second quarter," said Manny Cruz, an analyst with Manila-based Asiasec Equities Inc. Indonesian stocks fell 0.1 percent, after gaining as much as 0.2 percent to hit a record high of 5,606.03 earlier in the session. Indonesia was on track to post a fifth quarter of gains in six, adding 5.5 percent. "The next big catalyst for Indonesia would be the fourth-quarter earnings and S&P's potential rating upgrade by May or June," said Taye Shim, head of research at Jakarta-based Mirae Asset Sekuritas. Credit rating agency Standard & Poor's has a "BB plus" rating on Indonesia - one notch below the investment grade. The country's coordinating minister Darmin Nasution said earlier this month that S&P had no reason to keep Indonesia's credit rating below investment grade. "S&P is still very much in wait and see mode as they have said that they need to be convinced in terms of the fiscal condition in Indonesia and that they are also quite concerned about the low GDP," said Harry Su, an analyst with Bahana Securities in Indonesia, adding that it was not clear whether the rating agency would upgrade. Vietnam shares gained as much as 0.4 percent to hit their highest since February 2008 and were on track for a 9 percent gain for the quarter. Singapore stocks climbed 0.2 percent and were on track to extend gains into a fourth straight quarter, adding 10.3 percent. Financials accounted for nearly half the gains in the current session, with DBS Group Holdings Ltd rising 0.4 percent. Malaysian and Philippine stocks declined 0.3 percent each, with losses in telecom and industrial stocks weighing on the indices, respectively. Malaysia was on track for a 6.2 percent gain on the quarter, while Philippines, which was headed for its first quarterly gain in three quarters, added 6.9 percent year to date. Thai shares were down 0.1 percent, but were in line to extend gains into a fifth quarter, adding 2.4 percent in the last three months.
