Mid of Millhaven prison sign STORYLINE: The last Western detainee held at the US military prison in Guantanamo Bay returned to Canada on Saturday after a decade in custody He was transferred to a maximum security prison where he awaits parole, Canada's public safety minister said on Saturday. Vic Toews said that 26-year-old Omar Khadr arrived at a Canadian military base on a US government plane early on Saturday and was transferred to the Millhaven maximum security prison in Bath, Ontario. The son of an alleged al-Qaida financier, Khadr pleaded guilty in 2010 to killing a US soldier in Afghanistan and was eligible to return to Canada from Guantanamo Bay last October under terms of a plea deal. Canada's conservative government took almost a year to approve the transfer. The US Defence Department confirmed the transfer in a statement and said 166 detainees remain in detention at Guantanamo Bay. Khadr was 15 when he was captured in 2002 in Afghanistan, and has spent a decade at the Guantanamo prison set up on the US naval base in Cuba to hold those suspected of committing terror offences after the September 11, 2001, attacks. He received an eight-year sentence in 2010 after being convicted of throwing a grenade that killed Army Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Speer during a 2002 firefight. Toews said that the US government initiated Khadr's transfer and suggested that Canada had little choice but to accept him because he is a Canadian citizen. It will be up to Canada's national parole board to release him, Toews said. "Omar Khadr is a known supporter of the al-Qaida terrorist network and a convicted terrorist," Toews said. "I am satisfied the Correctional Service of Canada can administer Omar Khadr's sentence in a manner which recognises the serious nature of the crimes that he has committed and ensure the safety of Canadians is protected during incarceration," Toews said. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservative government had long refused to request the return of Khadr, the youngest detainee held at Guantanamo. The reluctance is partly due to suspicions about the Khadr family, which has been called "the first family of terrorism." Defence attorneys have said Khadr was pushed into fighting the Americans in Afghanistan by his father, Ahmed Said Khadr, an alleged al-Qaida financier whose family stayed with Osama bin Laden briefly when Omar Khadr was a boy.

CAN: COVID TEST REQUIRED FOR TRAVELERS FROM CHINA
&lt;p>https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/29/health/china-covid-outbreak-predictions.html&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>As Covid barrels through China, scientists around the world are searching for clues about an outbreak with sprawling consequences — for the health of hundreds of millions of Chinese people, the global economy and the future of the pandemic.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>But in the absence of credible information from the Chinese government, it is a big scientific guessing game to determine the size and severity of the surge in the world’s most populous country.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>In Hong Kong, one team of researchers pored over passenger data from five Beijing subway lines to determine the potential spread. In Seattle, a group of modelers tried in vain to reverse-engineer an unverified government leak detailing case numbers from Chinese health officials. In Britain, scientists are coming up with their own efficacy estimates of Chinese vaccines.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Any personal anecdote or social media report from China — scarce medicines, overrun hospitals, overflowing crematories — is possible fodder for researchers’ models.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>ADVERTISEMENT&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Continue reading the main story&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>They are all attempting to understand the same things: How quickly is the virus spreading in the country? How many people are dying? Could China be the source of a new and dangerous variant?&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Image&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Covid-19 patients in the lobby of the Chongqing No. 5 People’s Hospital in the southwestern city of Chongqing in December.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Covid-19 patients in the lobby of the Chongqing No. 5 People’s Hospital in the southwestern city of Chongqing in December.Credit...Noel Celis/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>As scientists sift through varied sources of shaky information, they are bracing for potentially catastrophic outcomes. Barring new precautionary steps, some worst-case estimates suggest that Covid could kill as many people in China in the next four months as it has Americans during the entire three-year pandemic.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Without satisfying answers, some countries are putting limits on Chinese travelers, albeit based in part on unfounded fears or political motivations. The United States, Italy and Japan have said they will require a negative Covid test for those coming from China, citing concerns that the surge in cases in China could produce new, more threatening variants. On Friday, France and Britain announced similar measures.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>While researchers and virologists said the new measures would most likely do little, if anything, to blunt the spread, the policies reflect the limited visibility into the outbreak. Scientists’ models generally point to an explosive spread and a high death rate, given how many people in China have little to no immunity to Omicron subvariants. But even their estimates are all over the place.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>ADVERTISEMENT&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Continue reading the main story&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>In the bleakest of several scenarios of what the end of China’s “zero Covid” policy might mean, nearly a million people could die during the early months of reopening, Hong Kong researchers reported this month in a study partly funded by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, though the study does not provide an exact time period.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Understand the Situation in China&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>The Communist Party cast aside restrictive “zero Covid” policy, which set off mass protests that were a rare challenge to the Communist leadership.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Medicine Shortages: As Covid rips through parts of China, millions are struggling to find treatment — from the most basic cold remedies to take at home to more powerful antivirals for patients in hospitals.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Traumatized and Deflated: Gripped with grief and anxiety, many in China want a national reckoning over the hard-line Covid policy. Holding the government accountable may be a quixotic quest.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>A Cloudy Picture: Despite Beijing’s assurances that the situation is under control, data on infections has become more opaque amid loosened pandemic constraints.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>In Beijing: As Covid sweeps across the Chinese capital, Beijing looks like a city in the throes of a lockdown — this time, self-imposed by residents.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>An American group estimated as many as half a million deaths by April and another million by the end of 2023 if China rejects social-distancing mandates. Airfinity, a British-based analytics company, this week offered an even more dire short-term forecast: 1.7 million Covid deaths by the end of April.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Until this month, the world seemed to have a reasonably clear understanding of what was happening with the virus in China. The ruling Communist Party proudly published low daily case numbers and deaths as a testament to its stringent “zero Covid” policy. A countrywide system of lockdowns, quarantines and mass testing largely kept the virus at bay.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Image&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Airline personnel checking passengers upon arrival at the Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport in December.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Airline personnel checking passengers upon arrival at the Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport in December.Credit...Mark R Cristino/EPA, via Shutterstock&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>But in early December, the government abruptly abandoned “zero Covid,” leaving the scientific community largely in the dark.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>“Nobody, nobody has a clue,” said Siddharth Sridhar, a clinical virologist with a focus on emerging infectious diseases.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Predicting the path of the pandemic has always been difficult. Even in places like Britain with reliable data, forecasts have often been far off the mark. But scientists have generally used reported Covid deaths as a dependable barometer to determine the potential size of an outbreak.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>ADVERTISEMENT&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Continue reading the main story&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>The data coming from the Chinese government can’t be trusted anymore. Officially, China has claimed just 12 deaths from Covid since Dec. 1. The country has said it will only count those who die from respiratory failure directly linked to an infection, leaving out vast numbers who died because Covid aggravated underlying diseases or caused heart or liver failure.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Experts say the sheer speed of the spread would suggest a much higher number of deaths. One city last week reported half a million cases in one day. Another reported a million.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>There are also indications that officials are pressuring doctors and crematories to avoid categorizing even respiratory deaths as virus related.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Image&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>A man lifting an empty coffin into a van near a funeral home two hours from Beijing, where funeral homes were filling up.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>A man lifting an empty coffin into a van near a funeral home two hours from Beijing, where funeral homes were filling up.Credit...Associated Press&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>One doctor at a private hospital in Beijing said he and his colleagues found a typed note on a hospital desk in recent days urging them to “try not to write respiratory failure caused by Covid” as the primary cause of death. The note was shared with The New York Times.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>The doctor said it was not clear if the message was generated internally or sent from government officials. But similar warnings have been circulating on Chinese social media telling doctors not to “carelessly write Covid” on death certificates.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Several modelers have even been skeptical of leaked information from government officials on case counts, which have been used to assess the scale of China’s outbreak. One recent estimate, making the rounds in news reports and on Chinese social media, cited data from national health officials that 250 million people had been infected in the first 20 days of December.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>ADVERTISEMENT&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Continue reading the main story&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Some scientists said that such massive figures indicated either that China had been suppressing data for months or that it was trying to make it seem like the outbreak had peaked.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>“Either they know something we don’t,” said Dr. Christopher Murray, the director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, “or they’re trying to say the worst is already over.”&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>“I suspect it’s now the latter,” he said, referring to the idea that China was trying to make it look like the worst had passed. It seems unlikely that China would have been able to fake the numbers for months without raising suspicions, he said.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Image&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Covid-19 patients at Tianjin Nankai Hospital on Wednesday. Cities across China have struggled with surging infections, a shortage of pharmaceuticals and overflowing hospital wards and crematories.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Covid-19 patients at Tianjin Nankai Hospital on Wednesday. Cities across China have struggled with surging infections, a shortage of pharmaceuticals and overflowing hospital wards and crematories.Credit...Noel Celis/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>The about-face on China’s messaging is also complicating scientists’ assessments. Just a month ago, China’s state-controlled media was warning about the dangers of the virus. Now, it is saying the current Omicron variant is mild and the outbreak is manageable.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Scientists and public health experts, though, are worried that Omicron has looked less severe in other places in large part because those populations had huge stores of immunity, including from past infections — a set of circumstances that does not hold in China. If China tries to soldier through its outbreak, without reimposing public health measures or ramping up vaccinations, scientists are concerned that many more may needlessly die.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>The Hong Kong researchers, for example, found that administering more fourth vaccine doses and antiviral medications and using social-distancing measures could save at least 250,000 lives during China’s reopening. Dr. Murray’s team, too, found that social-distancing mandates could help spare hospitals from a concentrated surge of patients, reducing the death toll by 200,000 by April and by even more when combined with greater masking and antiviral use.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>ADVERTISEMENT &lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>#NEWS: Canada will require mandatory COVID tests for travelers from China &lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Canada will require air travelers from China test negative for COVID-19 no more than two days before departure, according to a statement from Health Canada (HC) and Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p> HC and PHAC tweeted the new policy: ‘The Government of Canada will require all travellers (regardless of nationality or vaccination status) taking flights to Canada originating from China, Hong Kong or Macao to provide a negative #COVID19 test before boarding, effective January 5, 2023. Tests can be molecular or antigen and must be taken no more than 2 days before the traveller’s scheduled d’eparture.”&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Canada becomes the latest country to have implemented such restrictions. Earlier this week the United States announced similar testing requirements as Beijing’s rapid easing of Covid-19 restrictions leads to a surge in cases.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>CNN’s previous reporting on the US requirements: https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/28/politics/us-covid-measures-travelers-china/index.html&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--SUPERS&lt;/b>--&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--VIDEO SHOWS&lt;/b>--&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--LEAD IN&lt;/b>--&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--VO SCRIPT&lt;/b>--&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--SOT&lt;/b>--&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--TAG&lt;/b>--&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS&lt;/b>--&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>-----END-----CNN.SCRIPT-----&lt;/b>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--KEYWORD TAGS--&lt;/b>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--MUSIC INFO---&lt;/b>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>

Toews said that the US government initiated Khadr's transfer and suggested that Canada had little choice but to accept him because he is a Canadian citizen. It will be up to Canada's national parole board to release him, Toews said. "Omar Khadr is a known supporter of the al-Qaida terrorist network and a convicted terrorist," Toews said. "I am satisfied the Correctional Service of Canada can administer Omar Khadr's sentence in a manner which recognises the serious nature of the crimes that he has committed and ensure the safety of Canadians is protected during incarceration," Toews said. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservative government had long refused to request the return of Khadr, the youngest detainee held at Guantanamo. The reluctance is partly due to suspicions about the Khadr family, which has been called "the first family of terrorism." Defence attorneys have said Khadr was pushed into fighting the Americans in Afghanistan by his father, Ahmed Said Khadr, an alleged al-Qaida financier whose family stayed with Osama bin Laden briefly when Omar Khadr was a boy.

PARENTS HAVE RENEWED HOPE TO FIND MISSING CHILD (2016)
The news about the break in the Jacob Wetterling case this past summer has given the families of other missing children hope they may finally get answers, too. Christopher Kerze disappeared from his family's home in Eagan in 1990 and hasn't been seen since. Of all the children missing in Minnesota, Chris Kerze is the only one featured in a music video. "Runaway Train" by Minneapolis' own Soul Asylum showed the photographs and names of missing children. The video was released three years after Chris drove away from his parent's home in Eagan. "Of course it gave us hope” Chris' mother Loni Kerze said. “Anything that got the message out there that you're missing your son and you want him back, that's good." The story of Chris Kerze's disappearance is one of pain, intrigue and mystery. The last time Loni and Jim Kerze saw their son was Friday, April 20, 1990. They left in the morning, but 17-year-old Chris said he was sick and stayed home from school. That night he was gone and so was the family van. The next day they reported him missing. On Sunday, the van was found more than 200 miles away, north of Grand Rapids at the Laurentian Divide wayside rest on Highway 38. On Monday, the Itasca County Sheriff's Office searched the area with dogs. Soon after, Jim Kerze says a letter arrived from Duluth. "That was his last communication with us. And basically it said I'm not coming home." Then, Jim says the phone calls began. "Now there was a person who called us from northern Minnesota, who hedged around the fact he picked up somebody on Highway 38 around that time and they took him to Duluth." Within a week, they started getting hang up calls at the house. "So we'd pick up the phone” Jim said. “There would be a noise in the background, often it would sound like a party. We would try to talk and there would be a hang up." Loni believes it had to be their lost son on the other end of the line. “And that's what I'm guessing, because we never had calls like that before. And his best friend, our neighbor kid, was also getting hang up calls," she said. The Kerze’s even worked with police to put a tracer on the phone to track the calls, but no luck. The hang-up phone calls went on for an agonizingly long six months. Then they stopped, and seemingly, so did leads in the investigation, for decades. That changed a year ago with the bombshell news that a person of interest had been named in the disappearance of Jacob Wetterling. Jim says it gave them optimism. "Yes, in that respect it gives you renewed hope. You know, 26 years after the fact that still, it's still possible." The Jacob Wetterling case has families like the Kerze's asking law enforcement all over the country to take another look at missing persons cases. Officer Aaron Machtemes is with the Eagan Police Department. "We never give up. Any small clue, any tip. At one point we were looking in Canada, we were pouring over maps in Canada to try and find some type of lead. So any little piece of information can help break these cases and lead us to an answer.” Recently, the Eagan Police Department returned to the Grand Rapids area to hand out a new flyer from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. It includes a new age progression picture of what Chris might look like today. "Our investigator was up there handing out posters, talking with hunters in the area. Alerting them to the items that we are looking for"Machtemes said. Chris had a 20 gauge Mossberg bolt action shotgun with him. And he was wearing a unique watch with a zebra pattern on the wristband. "We want people's memories to be jogged” Machtemes added. “Think about that time period of 1990, or even now, to try and remember some of the items he had with him." It's an opportunity the Kerze's are seizing to try and find their son. Loni’s heart still aches after 26 years. "I want him to know that we still love him. And I'm still looking for him. I want to open the door and hear him say Mom, and I’ll say Chris, and just give him a big hug." Jim says they are hoping for some magic to happen. "We will know nothing about what happened to Christopher until, kind of, like the Wetterlings, magically we will know something and possibly everything.” "You know you find a new normal and you go on,”Loni said. “And you've got grandkids that make you happy and everything. But one, in your heart you always have this sense of something is really, really missing." The Soul Asylum "Runaway Train" music video ends with the plea, "If you've seen one these kids, or you are one of them, please call." Chris Kerze's parents are waiting for another call, and looking forward to the day when they see him again. The Soul Asylum "Runaway Train" music video debuted in May of 1993 and was directed by Tony Kaye. The original video featured 13 missing children, including Christopher Kerze of Eagan. It received heavy airplay on MTV and VH1 during its duration. Several versions of the video were made. Depending on what country the video was being broadcast, they would show children from that area who are missing. The band had an agreement with families that when/if a case was resolved they would change the video and use new faces. There were three original versions of the video in the United States, totaling 36 missing children shown. According to Kaye, 26 missing children were found after being featured in the video.

Pan from onlookers to police at scene STORYLINE: Canadian police say a Jewish man stabbed to death outside of a pizzeria in a Jewish section of Toronto was more than likely the victim of a hate crime. David Rosenzweig, 48, a father of six, who was bearded and wearing a skull cap at the time of the attack, was killed just after 1 a.m. local time (0500 GMT) outside the Israeli-owned King David Pizza restaurant. Toronto's Chief of Police Julian Fantino described the suspects as two white males in their early 20s with shaved heads. One man was arrested soon after the incident and police are hunting for two others. Twenty-year-old Christopher Steven McBride is wanted for first degree murder and 19 year old Mercedes Asante, who also goes by the name Silvia Asante, is wanted for questioning. Witnesses say the two men, one carrying a long knife, entered the restaurant and verbally provoked the owner and customers. The suspects then left the restaurant, only to return a short time later, at which time the victim was stabbed to death at the side of the street. Rosenzweig had apparently gone to the area to help his son with some car troubles. There was no indication that the victim had been involved in the earlier altercation inside the restaurant. The owner of the pizzeria, David Hazan, said he saw Rosenzweig try to defend himself but that the two men came after him when his back was turned as he worked on a tyre on his son's car at the side of the road. The killers stabbed him in the back. Witnesses say the suspects never said anything anti-Semitic, but were belligerent and appeared mentally unstable. Shocked family and friends have been dropping by Rosenzweig's North York home all day.

STILLS Various of Clark Rockefeller believed to be Christian Gerhartsreiter STORYLINE: A law enforcement official said on Monday that a man charged with kidnapping his daughter in Boston, Massachusetts is a German who lived in the guesthouse of a Los Angeles, California-area couple who disappeared in 1985. Los Angeles County sheriff's investigators have identified Christian Gerhartsreiter as the same man who used the aliases Clark Rockefeller and Christopher Chichester. Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, said homicide detectives "are confident that Rockefeller is Christian Gerhartsreiter and the person named Christopher Chichester who was living in the Los Angeles area in 1985." Gerhartsreiter has been identified as a "person of interest" in the 1985 disappearances of Jonathan and Linda Sohus. "He is a person of interest in the John and Linda Sohus missing person slash homicide case. He is not a suspect; he's a person of interest. So we still want to speak to him," Whitmore said. "We tried to speak to him when we went back to Boston, we were rebuffed in that attempt, but I presume that later on they will make that attempt again," he added. Under the Chichester name, Gerhartsreiter rented a guesthouse at the home of Jonathan Sohus' mother in San Marino, a wealthy Los Angeles suburb. Rockefeller's lawyer, Stephen Hrones, has insisted his client didn't remember anything before 1993, but he called a news conference in Boston later on Monday to say his client recalls the missing couple and using the Chichester name while living in California decades ago. Hrones said his client does not remember the German name and insists he had nothing to do with the disappearance. Hrones told reporters in Boston that his client had said that "I'm not a violent man, I never murdered anybody, I have no record." Whitmore said investigators were able to confirm Gerhartsreiter's identity after interviews with people who knew him in California in the 1980s. At the time of his August 2 arrest in Baltimore, Maryland, Gerhartsreiter had been living under the Rockefeller name. Police have said he snatched his daughter from a Boston street on July 27 in an elaborately planned kidnapping in which he hired two people to drive them to New York, New York. The district attorney's office and FBI in Boston said on Monday they were not ready to declare that Rockefeller and Gerhartsreiter are the same person. Skeletal remains were unearthed at the Sohus property in 1994 when new owners were putting in a swimming pool. Investigators at the time were unable to identify the bones but believed they probably belonged to Jonathan Sohus. Whitmore said investigators have requested a new round of forensic tests. Two women who were friends with Christopher Chichester in the mid-1980s told the Los Angeles Times they noticed that much of the backyard at the Sohuses' home had been dug up around the time they disappeared. Chichester told them there had been plumbing problems. Los Angeles County sheriff's investigators tried to question Gerhartsreiter in Boston last week, but he declined. No charges have ever been filed in the disappearance. Hrones explained his client's decision to take a different name by saying he was an aspiring actor and "thought it was a more appropriate name." Hrones said that "there is nothing wrong with using aliases as long as you don't use it to defraud," adding that Rockefeller also remembers using the alias Christopher Crowe while he worked on Wall Street. Hrones said his client remembers little of his past, believes his real name is Clark Rockefeller and has no memory of being Christian Gerhartsreiter. He said the man does speak a little German and understands the language. Los Angeles County investigators' findings appear to support an account by Alexander Gerhartsreiter, who said he is the brother of the man being held in Boston. Found at his home in Bergen, Germany, Alexander Gerhartsreiter told Boston Herald reporters that his brother was the son of an artist and homemaker in Upper Bavaria who felt he was better than his modest upbringing. He said his older brother is 47 and was born in Siegsdorf, Germany, then raised until 1978 in the same house where his family lives today. Alexander Gerhartsreiter said his brother moved to Connecticut as a student and never returned, initially keeping in contact but out of touch since he called his parents in 1985. After Christian Gerhartsreiter moved to Connecticut, he married a young woman in Wisconsin in 1981 and left her after the wedding, the Boston Globe reported. The woman's sister told the newspaper that she believed the wedding was orchestrated so Gerhartsreiter could get a green card.

Without a doubt the element that sparked this was in August with the sub-prime crisis which hit the assets linked to real estate loans by dubious creditors. Today we see that the liquidity and the need for liquidity are hitting all of the markets especially the stock market with a scenario looming of an economic crisis that can only amplify the phenomenon." 13. Wide pan to Crouzat at this desk STORYLINE: European stocks plummeted on Monday in a global market rout on concerns the US might be headed for recession, with analysts saying investors are now faced with the prospect of a bear market and should be braced for more downside. The Dow Jones Stoxx 600 Index plunged 5.7% to 308.83. It now stands about 18% down on the beginning of 2008 and about 30% off its bull market high of 400.99, struck on July 13, 2007. A 20% pullback from a market peak is a common definition of a bear market. In terms of national markets, the UK's FTSE 100 slumped 5.5% to 5578.20, while Germany's DAX Index plunged 7.2% to 6790.19. France's CAC-40 Index fell 6.8% to 4744.15. The drops followed losses in Asian markets and were continued in Canada and Brazil; US markets were closed for the holiday commemorating civil rights leader Martin Luther King. Markets have been facing mounting pressures from signals that the recent credit crisis could send the US the world's biggest economy, into recession. Investors remain nervous about the likelihood that slowing growth will pare back earnings on both sides of the Atlantic. Christoph Schmidt Analyst N.M Fleischhacker Trading Bank in Frankfurt told AP Television the coming days would be crucial: "The next days are pretty decisive because we would all like to know how are the US markets going to react to this selling pressure we have in Asia and Europe." "Let's say that today, the markets across the world, and especially the French market, are undergoing a phenomenon of distrust in the markets that are leading them downward," President of Montsegur Finance, Alain Crouzat told AP Television in Paris. "Without a doubt the element that sparked this was in August with the sub-prime crisis which hit the assets linked to real estate loans by dubious creditors. Today we see that the liquidity and the need for liquidity are hitting all of the markets especially the stock market with a scenario looming of an economic crisis that can only amplify the phenomenon," he added. Investors dumped shares because they were sceptical that an economic stimulus plan US President George W. Bush announced on Friday would shore up the economy that has been battered by problems in its housing and credit markets. The plan, which requires approval by Congress, calls for about 145 billion (b) US dollars (99 billion Euros) worth of tax relief to encourage consumer spending. Asian markets were also hit hard. "But the Asian markets were pretty weak today, this morning. And all the selling pressure came over to Europe. And traders began to react emotionally to the markets," Schmidt said. India's benchmark stock index tumbled 7.4 percent, while Hong Kong's blue-chip Hang Seng index plummeted 5.5 percent to 23 thousand 818.86, its biggest percentage drop since the 11 September 2001 attacks.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP DEPARTS WHITE HOUSE SOUTH LAWN
1620 WH GAGGLE BEFORE DEPARTING FOR JBA FS23 73 162215 TRUMP>> So we have a very big crowd. It's already formed. I mean, it started forming yesterday I guess. We're going to Minnesota. Some of you are coming I guess, I hope. You have any questions? We'll do it really quickly because we're a little bit late. Q>> On Tik Tok, did you sign off on [inaud] 162238 TRUMP>> Well, we're gonna take a look. They're gonna be showing me everything in a little while on Tik Tok and we have some great companies who want to buy it and we're looking at those companies. We're looking at, most importantly, the security with respect to China and we're gonna make a fairly fast decision. I don't think we have to delay it too much but we have some great companies and some very great interest. It's a, you know, it's -- pretty incredible asset. 162304 Q>> [inaud] re: Chris Wray TRUMP>> Well, you're asking me a question. I disagreed with him on those, I think very important points. Obviously China is at the top of the list and I think Russia and North Korea and many other countries can be talked about but China would be at the top of that list so I don't know why that's not mentioned. And obviously, Antifa. These are thugs, these are bad people. These are people that hurt a lot of people, a lot of good people. 162335 And Antifa -- that man is agreeing with me. Unfortunately -- are you a reporter? I wish you were a reporter. He's not/ He's a good person but in fact they're shaking, shaking his head yes. The fact is that antifa is a bad group and they're criminals, and they're anarchists, and they're agitators, and they're looters and rioters and everything else. They're bad and when a man doesn't say that, that bothers me. I wonder why he's not saying that. Q>> [inaud] re: Bill Barr. 162409 TRUMP>> I think Bill Barr has been incredible, right? He's strong. Bill Barr is strong, he's tough and he's smart. And I think he agrees with me on this stuff. He sees what's happening with certain locations. Now we can clean it out if the Democrat governors who are just weak or something's wrong. They're weak on crime. They don't even want to mention the words law and order. If they called us like in Portland, we would have that situation taken care in half an hour. 162439 All they have to do is call. We will be there in half an hour. Seattle only got straightened out because they knew we were going -- We were going in there the following morning. We were all set to go. And they -- they immediately raised their hands, they gave up. But if they would call us we would straighten out their problems. That includes Chicago, it includes New York. Now I have to tell you, Chicago is a great police department. They endorsed me. New York has a great Police Department, New York's finest. They endorsed me. 162510 They don't need any help. All they have to do is let them do their job, Mr. Mayor and Mr. Governor. If they let them do their job, you will have very little crime in New York, very little crime in Chicago. But these liberal politicians -- Democrats. They won't let the police do their job. Q> [inaud] re: Canadian Border 162541 TRUMP>> Well, we're gonna see that. We're looking at the border with Canada. Canada would like it opened and you know, we want to get back to normal business. We have the USMCA all done, the new trade deal replacing NAFTA which was probably the worst trade deal ever made by anybody. It was grossly incompetent. We have a great trade deal right now and so we're going to be opening the borders pretty soon. Q>> [inaud] TRUMP>> say it? Q>> Before the end of the year? TRUMP>> Could be. Yeah, we're working with Canada. We want to pick a good date having to do with a pandemic. And I happen to think we're rounding the turn. We're doing very well and the vaccines are coming but even before the vaccines are coming, If you look at Florida, if you look at Texas, if you look at Arizona, so places that flared up a little bit. We are doing really well. They're all doing very well. Q>> [inaud] Christopher Wray. Would you like to replace him, sir? 162635 TRUMP>> We're looking at a lot of different things and I don't -- I did not like his answers yesterday and I'm not sure he liked them either. I'm sure that he probably would agree with me. Antifa's bad, really bad. And if you look at it, who's the big problem? The big problem is China. And we can have others also, and I'm not excluding anybody, but the big problem is China, and why he doesn't want to say that, that certainly bothers me. Q>> The virus, you've said that we're turning the corner. How do you say that given the 200,000 people who have died? 162714 TRUMP>> Have died and projected, if you look at the initial projections, it was up to 240 - 250,000 if everybody did their job. If they didn't do their job there would be two and a half, 3 million people, three and a half million people. But you saw the same chart so here's the bottom line, we should have lost nobody. China should have never allowed it to come out, should have never ever allowed it to come out. But the projections would be if we did a really good job with a shutdown which we did, it would be 240 -- up to 240, 250,000 people. 162753 You've seen those numbers, so have I. If we didn't do our job it would be three and a half, two and a half. Maybe 3 million people -- million people. We have done a phenomenal job with respect to COVID-19. We have done a job that was incredible. Look at the other side of it. Look at Biden -- sleepy Joe Biden. He had a thing called swine flu. It was a disaster, much easier to handle, much less severe, but it was a disaster, and his own man that was in charge of it said it was a nightmare. 162827 It was a disaster. They did a poor job. They didn't know what they were doing. Joe Biden doesn't have a clue. All he does is criticize. We've done an incredible job, whether it's the vaccines which are coming, to therapeutics, which are already here, therapeutics. They're already here and they've started, Redesivir and others. The plasma is working out incredibly well. Look at what happens, look how much better people do if they do have to go and they do end up in serious condition. 162857 Look at how much better they are doing now because of what we've done therapeutically. It's been amazing. The numbers are amazing. We've done a great job, but then you have to take a look at swine flu, H1N1. Okay? Which Biden calls N1H1 because he doesn't know the name. The H comes before the N. It's very easy to remember. You take a look at the job he did where his own people, and the man that was in charge, said it was a total disaster, a total disaster. 162928 And worse than that. And they got very, very poor marks. We have done an incredible job throughout the world. I get called by prime ministers and presidents saying, sir, the job you've done is amazing on testing -- on testing. I'll give you a whole list. On testing, we have the greatest testing anywhere in the world, where I think 60 million tests more than India. 1.5 billion people. Nobody has done the job that we've done. I thank you very much, everybody. Thank you. ##

WS Smoochy character on red carpet 19. Clip ' Smoochy ' STORYLINE: CHILDREN'S TELEVISION... IT'S A TOUGH RACKET. Director Danny DeVito's new film 'Death to Smoochy' had its New York premiere on Tuesday night at the renowned Ziegfeld Theatre. The dark comedy features Robin Williams as a down-on-his-luck, children's TV personality has-been and Ed Norton as a big, puffy, fuschia rhinoceros. The film takes to task the corporate businesses behind such phenomemon as 'Barney'. Robin Williams as Randolph Smiley has lost everything after being caught taking bribes from parents who want their kids on his program. Jon Stewart plays the weasely, tied to the mafia, network president M. Frank Stokes who must find a squeaky clean replacement for Randolph. His senior programming executive, Nora, played by Catherine Keener, delivers Sheldon Mopes and his alter-ego 'Smoochy' the rhino played by Edward Norton. Danny DeVito who directed the movie plays Sheldon's smooth-talking corrupt agent, Burke. Sheldon believes that "even if you can't change the world you can make a dent." He wants children everywhere to be happy and eat organic food. If Sheldon had his way there would be no 'Smoochy' sugar cereals marketed to innocent children and then, of course, no profits for all the corporate sponsors. Sheldon soon learns that children's television is a dangerous world steeped in corruption, back-stabbing and violence. Already there is some Smoochy backlash. A demonstration is planned for Friday in Toronto, Canada. Hundreds are expected to protest the violence in 'Death to Smoochy' and its character's striking similarities to well known costumed characters Barney and Ricky the Rhino. Robin Williams got a good laugh when APTN showed him a press release announcing the protest. He also talked about kicking off his first stand up comedy tour in 15 years and why he decided to do it. Tony Award-winning actor Harvey Fierstein, also known for his scene-stealing work in Mrs. Doubtfire, plays the money-grubbing Merv Green. When asked who inspired him for this role he told APTN it was none other than director Danny DeVito. 'Death to Smoochy' was filmed on location in New York City and in Toronto. It opens March 29.

Various of US soldiers having lunch 13. Mid of card reading (English) "Give Thanks," next to paper turkey decoration 14. Various of soldiers having lunch in Camp Victory canteen STORYLINE: US soldiers at Camp Victory in Iraq celebrated Thanksgiving early on Sunday with a special lunch. A traditional Thanksgiving lunch was served several days earlier than usual due to American troops closing their camp in preparation for their departure from Iraq. The camp's canteen will shortly be packed away and sent back to the US along with many of the soldiers currently based there. The US government aims to withdraw all 33-thousand of its troops from Iraq by the end of the year. However some soldiers, like Robert Jean of the 25th infantry Division, have mixed feelings about being sent home: "I'm a little sad to leave Iraq because this is my 4th year that I have spent here so, part of me is here as part of my home, but my main home is with my family." Thanksgiving is a national holiday held with enthusiasm in US, Canada and several other countries. It dates back to the arrival of the first Puritan settlers in America and their survival after a harsh first winter. After learning farming techniques from native Americans they had a successful second-year harvest, producing plenty of food. This inspired the Pilgrims to hold a celebratory meal of thanks.

SOUNDBITE (English) Christopher Nolan/Director - on the fans making death threats to critics who gave the film negative reviews: "Well, I think the fans are very passionate about these characters the way a lot of people are very passionate. Batman's been around for over seventy years and there's a reason for that. He has a huge appeal so I think you know people certainly respond to the character and so far they've liked what we've done with the character and we're hoping that they'll respond similarly to our conclusion." 14. Medium of Tom Hardy talking to reporter 15. SOUNDBITE (English) Tom Hardy/Actor: (Reporter:"Did you bulk up, did they put stuff on you?") Hardy: "A bit of everything actually, bulked up you know high heels, standing on boxes that kind of thing." (Reporter: "How do you feel about being probably the most sinister villain ever created?")

I think it encouraged me to take more risks you know I was listening to Tom talk about his Bane the other day and he was talking about Chris and how you could go straight down the middle villain baddie road or you could go really left of center and that was the take that Chris chose and I was just really inspired working with all these people. No one ever made an easy choice. They always put themselves out there on a ledge at risk and I think that changed me, made me a little braver." Warner Bros. 18.

SOUNDBITE (English) Cillian Murphy/Actor - on the fans' reaction to the negative reviews: "I think you know Batman has got such a, people really love this character and they love this trilogy and I think we have a great responsibility to the fans as they're the people who make the movie really." 21. Fashion shot of Marion Cotillard 22. SOUNDBITE (English) Marion Cotillard/Actress: "The whole experience was amazing but I have to say that one day I was on set with the Batman costume, Christian Bale inside Batman I was totally impressed I couldn't go to him to say hello whereas usually you know he's very approachable, he's an amazing guy but that day he was Batman, he was not Christian Bale anymore and I was very impressed." 23.

SOUNDBITE (English) Anne Hathaway/Actress - on whether she took any mementos from the set: "I'm way too afraid of Chris to steal anything from one of his films. After my audition I tried to take home my sides, you know the, you know the pages where you have your lines on it. I tried to take them home so in case I didn't get the part I would have a memento and they came and got them from me. They followed me to my hotel to take them out of my hand, so I wasn't going to steal anything from the set." Warner Bros. 27.

SOUNDBITE (English) Morgan Freeman/Actor - on Rush Limbaugh claiming villain Bane is supposed to paint Republicans in a bad light: "Well, it's ridiculous, I mean you know Chris wrote a fictional story that didn't have any political thoughts in mind so it's like art or something you know, it's all in the mind of the beholder." 30. SOUNDBITE (English) Christopher Nolan/Director - on Rush Limbaugh claiming villain Bane is supposed to paint Republicans in a bad light: "I'm not sure how to address something that bizarre to be honest. I really don't have an answer for it, it's a very peculiar comment to make." Warner Bros. 31. Trailer clip: "The Dark Knight Rises" 'THE DARK KNIGHT RISES' OVER THE LONDON RAIN Neither rain nor controversy could prevent Christian Bale from taking one of his final bows as Batman on the red carpet. The actor attended the rainy European premiere of the final instalment of the Christopher Nolan-helmed superhero franchise 'The Dark Knight Rises' in London Wednesday evening (18 JULY 2012) but waltzed by the press line. The much anticipated film hasn't come out yet, but it has already caused a few controversies. In one case some of the more devoted fans of Nolan's Batman lambasted critics who gave the film less than stellar reviews and even made threatening remarks towards them on film rating site rottentomatoes.com, causing the website to shut down the comment section for 'The Dark Knight Rises.' Director Nolan was quick to defend their heated response. "I think the fans are very passionate about these characters the way a lot of people are very passionate. Batman's been around for over seventy years and there's a reason for that. He has a huge appeal so I think you know people certainly respond to the character," he said. However he was a bit stumped when confronted with political commentator Rush Limbaugh's remarks which linked his villain, Bane, to the Republican party presidential candidate Mitt Romney's Bain capital. "I'm not sure how to address something that bizarre to be honest. I really don't have an answer for it, it's a very peculiar comment to make," he responded. Morgan Freeman, who plays Lucius Fox was also unconvinced by the link between the film and a liberal agenda: "Well it's ridiculous, I mean you know Chris wrote a fictional story that didn't have any political thoughts in mind so it's like art or something you know, it's all in the mind of the beholder." This last film in Nolan's trilogy takes place eight years after the events of "The Dark Knight." Bale's Bruce Wayne suffers in self-imposed exile, sulking about Wayne Manor, mourning the loss of his darling Rachel and carrying the burden of blame for the death of District Attorney Harvey Dent. His goal of a peaceful Gotham has been achieved, but he's left as a man without a purpose. However Bane, a terrorist leader with a face muzzle, arrives on the scene intent on destroying Gotham City. Tom Hardy who plays the villain said that in order to achieve the physicality desired by Nolan, he had to go through many changes. "I bulked up you know, high heels, standing on boxes that kind of thing," he joked. Marion Cotillard (one of many alumni from Nolan's "Inception") co-stars as Miranda Tate, a wealthy philanthropist who hopes to work with Wayne Enterprises on developing clean, sustainable energy, while Anne Hathaway takes on the role of Catwoman. "The Dark Knight Rises" opens in the U.S. and U.K. on July 20th.

John Kerry holds a rally -- CUTS] [WAKEFIELD, OH] JOHN GLENN 18:43:48 That's not a flip-flop, that's a flop-flip. 18:44:05 Iraq: it's not nationa buidling, I guess it's nation destruction. JOHN KERRY 18:48:24 This man is a treasure. He is a hero. And we're greatful for John and Annie Glenn for their service to this country. 18:48:42 We are tramping on tin fields... we're trampling on his corn fields 18:49:27 He knows what life is like for working people in this country and we're going to get that change. Talking about Ohio Governor: 18:49:49 The guy up there now he isn't getting anything done. You notice that every time George Bush shows up he doesn't show up with him, does he? 18:50:24 John Edwards' plane had some mechanical difficulties the other day. We'll do anything to stick around. 18:52:15 Health care costs are up, gasoline is up... 18:52:39 You know why gas prices are so high? $53 a barrel? $10-$15 alone becasue of George Bush's foreign policy! 18:54:51 George Bush had a chance to get more drugs from Canada... When I'm president I'm going to send that bill back to Congress and let Americans import drugs from Canada. 18:55:13 POTUS is suppossed to represent you, all Americans. 18:55:41 They made it dead illegal in order to have Americans lesser drugs. My friends we don't want a president who's there to serve the energy companies, the drug companies. We want a President who serves America. 18:57:15 If you want, you can buy into the same health care plan that Senators and Congressmen have for themselves. 18:58:03 When you make a commitment to leave no child behind you don't leave the money behind... 18:58:17 All of this is a choice that a Presdient gets to make. This isn't pre-ordained. The moeny doesn't have to go to the top 1% of Americans. 18:58:38 Take home pay lowest since 1929... 18:58:50 Take home pay for top 1% is the highest since 1930 18:59:03 20 years ago a single breadwinner could afford the home, house, 18:59:36 Where the american economy doesn't have workers working for it but where it works fo 18:59:50 They're supporting the absurd. You're being asked to supoprt the companies who send jobs overseas... We're going to reward the companies that keed jobs in America. 19:00:53 The only people who are going to pay a little extra are me and George Bush... He's trying to protect the poeple who make over 200,00 a year. I'm trying to protect the middle class... 19:03:03 We're the country of discovery. Enough of these $53 of oil. God only gave us 3% of the world's oil. 19:03:21 For us to put our health, security... in our hands we can't drill our way and rely on middle least oil, we have to invent our way out of it. 19:05:31 We're going to do stem cell research for America. 19:05:43 I had a message on my telephone from CHristopher Reeve. He didn't even know he was going into the hospital. He was so exited that we had talked about stem cell research. 19:06:10 He knew and Chris knew that we have the ability to affect this for 100 million... It's america's history to do this: We're going to respect life, but we're going to save lives by doing that stem cell research. 19:06:48 I see the vets out there. I know something about going to war. I know something about the responsibilty of the commander in chief.. 19:07:08 We need a commander in chief and a chief diplomat and the head of the nation... you can bet your boots that I'll do what's necessary. I defended our country as a young man and I'll defend it as POTUS. 19:07:49 The United States of America is strongest and our troops are most respected... when you act with other countries. 19:08:11 I will not stop the effort ... I will not ever take my eye off the real terrorists... that guy who crashed planes into the buildings... 19:08:32 We need a President who will fight a 19:08:57 This is the most important election of our lifetime. I'm telling you that becuase you're telling me that... OTHER PERSON 19:13:05 Picks up hunting gun KERRY - WHILE HOLDING GUN 19:14:17 I did not know I was going to be presented 19:14:34 I'm picking up my hunting license next week. I've been a hunter since I was a kid and I've been a fisherman... 19:14:52 I respect enormously the passion... Talking to a guy who bohunting deer. I understand it. I've been deer hunting, I've been 19:15:11 True sportsmen know that we have to have a habitat that really works for us. I'll respect the rights. But we're going to do things that are smart.
