Повернення даїшників та мусорських методів або як рада зеленого карлика посилює поліцейський терор
Депутати хочуть дозволити поліції зупиняти нас без будь-яких підстав, вимагати і відбирати документи, обшукувати авто без понятих, ховатись з радарами в кущах і ще багато мусорських традицій епохи януковича.

Інспектора ювенальної превенції підозрюють у зґвалтуванні неповнолітньої – ДБР
Слідчі територіального угруповання Державного бюро розслідувань у Миколаєві разом із Нацполіцією Одеської області повідомили про підозру співробітнику поліції в зґвалтуванні неповнолітньої дівчини. Про це 15 липня заявила пресслужба ДБР.
Йдеться про інспектора сектору ювенальної превенції Таїровського відділення Київського відділу поліції в Одесі. За даними слідства, подія сталася ще в лютому цього року. У січні мати дівчинки звернулася до поліції через її зникнення після сварки, після чого на неї склали адміністративний протокол, а з дитиною «провели бесіду».

«11 лютого підозрюваний, який на той час працював на посаді інспектора сектору ювенальної превенції, змусив неповнолітню поїхати до нього додому, де зґвалтував її, а потім відвіз на місце зупинки громадського транспорту. За кілька днів потерпіла наважилася розповісти про злочин своєму вчителеві, який переконав її звернутися із заявою до правоохоронців», – йдеться в повідомленні.
Зараз правоохоронці вирішують питання про обрання запобіжного заходу у вигляді арешту.

Path to White House Runs Through America’s ‘Rust Belt’
Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin are three industrial states Donald Trump narrowly won on his path to the White House in 2016 – and which Democrats hope to recapture this year. They are home to many communities where high-wage manufacturing jobs have disappeared in recent decades. VOA’s Kane Farabaugh reports from Wisconsin, where job losses have continued during the pandemic as voters gear up for the presidential election in November.

Кримськотатарський орнамент включили до попереднього списку ЮНЕСКО
Кримськотатарський орнамент «Орьнек» внесений до попереднього списку ЮНЕСКО для можливого включення його до переліку нематеріальної культурної спадщини людства. Про це повідомляється на сайті ЮНЕСКО.
У громадській організації «Алем» повідомили, що засідання, де вирішитися це питання, має відбутися у 2021 році.
«Розробка номінаційного досьє «Орьнек – кримськотатарський орнамент» було довгостроковій ініціативою ГО «Алем». Його подача до переліку НКС стала результатом тісної співпраці з майстрами прикладного мистецтва, а також за сприяння Міністерства культури і інформаційної політики України», – мовиться у повідомленні організації.
У 2018 році Міністерство культури України включило кримськотатарський орнамент «Орьнек» до Національного переліку елементів нематеріальної культурної спадщини. Тоді у відомстві уточнили, що кримськотатарський орнамент і його елементи переважно використовуються у вишивці, на одязі, взутті, головних уборах як декор, на різних видах аксесуарів, в ювелірних прикрасах, на предметах побуту: керамічному і металевому посуді, виробах з деревини, домашньому приладді, в обробці меблів, килимових покриттях. Це важливий елемент самоідентифікації і невід’ємна частина життя кожної кримськотатарської сім’ї.

Низка ГО, в тому числі StopFake, закликають захистити співзасновницю «Заборони» від тиску
Кілька громадських організацій оприлюднили спільну заяву на захист співзасновниці видання «Заборона» Катерини Сергацкової. Відповідне звернення вони орилюднили 15 липня.
«Ми, організації та медіа, в тому числі – учасники Медіаруху, категорично засуджуємо тиск та погрози життю головній редакторці видання «Заборона» Катерині Сергацковій. Ми також глибоко вражені інформацією про те, що журналістка змушена була покинути Київ внаслідок цього тиску і погроз, в тому числі, з боку праворадикалів, а також масового булінгу в соцмережах», – йдеться в заяві правозахисників та журналістів.
Читайте також: HRW закликала українську владу розслідувати погрози на адресу співзасновниці «Заборони»
Автори заяви назвали «надзвичайно обурливим» ту обставину, що тиск на Сергацкову почався після того, як її колишній колега оприлюднив допис про неї, розмістивши фото журналістки з її малолітнім сином. Саме цей допис вони вважають поштовхом до цькування Сергацкової.
«Якість журналістських матеріалів та порушення журналістських стандартів мають бути предметом ґрунтовної професійної дискусії, за участі організацій саморегулювання, таких як Комісія журналістської етики, Незалежна медійна рада. Але у жодному разі не може слугувати підставою для закликів до розправи, погроз смертю і не має ставати причиною для переслідування чи припинення роботи журналістів», – стверджують підписанти.
Вони також закликали правоохоронців «втрутитися в ситуацію та захистити журналістку Катерину Сергацкову та її родину».
Заява відкрита для підписання, наразі під нею підписалися сім організацій:
Інститут масової інформації
«Детектор медіа»
StopFake
Центр прав людини Zmina
«Платформа прав людини»
Донецький інститут інформації
Харківська правозахисна група
Напередодні британське видання Independent повідомило, що Катерина Сергацкова залишила Київ та звернулася до поліції через погрози. На уточнююче запитання Радіо Свобода вона повідомила, що «виїхала з Києва, але поки не з України». Також Сергацкова підтвердила, що її адвокат надіслав заяву в поліцію.
3 липня «Заборона» опублікувала статтю про ймовірні зв’язки між лідерами ультраправих та неонацистських груп з керівництвом фактчекінгового проєкту StopFake. У відповідь організація розкритикувала матеріал і назвала його частиною тренду «цькування та залякування від проросійського медіа».
Згодом коментатори в соціальних мережах почали погрожувати Сергацковій через нібито проросійську пропаганду. 11 липня український журналіст зі 130 тисячами підписників опублікував у Facebook фото Сергацкової та її сина, розповів деталі її біографії та припустив, що вона працює на російську розвідку.
У коментарях дописувачі погрожували співзасновниці «Заборони» вбивством та фізичним насиллям, публікували її адресу та фотографію її будинку. Хоча пост згодом видалили, журналіст продовжив висловлюватися на адресу Сергацкової.
У великій кількості дописів згадується, що вона була громадянкою Росії. Український паспорт журналістка отримала у 2015 році.

Trumps Tweet Support for Goya Foods Amid Boycott Campaign
U.S. President Donald Trump and his daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump are rallying support for Goya Foods on Twitter, as social media pressure continues for boycotting the largest Hispanic-owned U.S. food company over its CEO’s effusive praise for Trump..@GoyaFoods is doing GREAT. The Radical Left smear machine backfired, people are buying like crazy!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 15, 2020Early on Wednesday, the Republican president tweeted, without citing evidence, that “Goya Foods is doing GREAT. The Radical Left smear machine backfired, people are buying like crazy!” on his personal feed, which has 83.4 million followers, and the official presidential and White House feeds, with more than 50 million followers combined.That followed Ivanka’s late Tuesday post on Twitter of the company’s slogan, “If it’s Goya, it has to be good,” in both Spanish and English.Ivanka’s tweet, in which she is seen holding a can of Goya’s black beans, garnered over 35,000 retweets and 62,000 likes in a little over 4 hours.However, her comments could violate government ethics rules that prohibit the use of public office to endorse products or advance personal business gains.Goya CEO Praises Trump at White House, Backlash is Swiftfounded in Manhattan in 1936 by immigrants from Spain, Goya calls itself the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the United StatesThe U.S. Office of Government Ethics did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment.The hashtags #Goyaway and #BoycottGoya trended on Twitter after Robert Unanue, chief executive of the New Jersey-based company, appeared with Trump at the White House last week for the creation of an advisory panel on spurring Hispanic prosperity.”We’re all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump who is a builder, and that’s what my grandfather did,” said Unanue, the third generation of his family to run the business.The comment alienated many Goya consumers, who consider Trump racist against Hispanic people because of his immigration policies, his calling Mexicans “rapists” during his 2016 presidential campaign, and his reportedly calling El Salvador a “shithole country” at a 2018 White House meeting.

White House Distances Itself From Latest Attack on Fauci
The White House distanced itself Wednesday from a new attack on the handling of the coronavirus pandemic by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top U.S. infectious disease expert, even though a newspaper opinion article mirrored some of the same thoughts as those of President Donald Trump.White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said in an opinion piece in the USA Today newspaper that Fauci “has a good bedside manner with the public, but he has been wrong about everything I have interacted with him on.”After the broadside was published, though, White House director of strategic communications, Alyssa Farah, said Navarro’s article “didn’t go through normal White House clearance processes and is the opinion of Peter alone.”She said Trump “values the expertise of the medical professionals advising his administration.”The Peter Navarro op-ed didn’t go through normal White House clearance processes and is the opinion of Peter alone. @realDonaldTrump values the expertise of the medical professionals advising his Administration.— Alyssa Farah (@Alyssafarah) July 15, 2020When asked about the article at the White House, Trump said, “That’s Peter Navarro, but I have a very good relationship with Dr. Fauci.” Yet Trump himself, as he tries to boost the flagging U.S. economy in the face of the unrelenting advance of the coronavirus pandemic, has voiced skepticism in recent days about the assessments of Fauci and other government medical experts.The president, facing a tough reelection contest in November against former Vice President Joe Biden, has for months downplayed the impact of the virus and most recently claimed that the impact of the new surge in the number of cases in the U.S. is 99% “totally harmless.”
Trump on Fauci: ‘I Don’t Always Agree with Him’ The president offers little support after a weekend when the White House seemed to undercut its own virus expertThe U.S. leader told one interviewer, Fox News talk show host Sean Hannity, that he likes Fauci personally but that he had “made a lot of mistakes.” A few days ago, Trump retweeted a comment from former game show host Chuck Woolery, who, without evidence, claimed that “everyone is lying,” including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and “our Doctors, not all but most, that we are told to trust.”Brett Giroir, a four-star admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and one of several physicians who have been the face of the government’s response to the pandemic in the United States, rejected that contention in an interview on NBC on Tuesday.“We may occasionally make mistakes based on the information we have,” Giroir said, “but none of us lie. We are completely transparent with the American people. None of us are 100% right. None of us are always right, and we admit that.”Navarro, in the USA Today article, said, “In late January, when I was making the case on behalf of the president to take down the flights from China, Fauci fought against the president’s courageous decision — which might well have saved hundreds of thousands of American lives.”The ban barred foreign nationals who had recently visited China, where the coronavirus originated, from entering the U.S. but did not exclude immediate family members of American citizens and permanent residents.Navarro claimed that in late January when he was warning of “a possibly deadly pandemic,” Fauci “was telling the news media not to worry.”Navarro also contended that Fauci had flip-flopped on the use of masks. However, Fauci for months now has urged Americans to wear them, even though Trump only wore one in public for the first time last weekend.“Now Fauci says a falling mortality rate doesn’t matter when it is the single most important statistic to help guide the pace of our economic reopening,” Navarro said. “The lower the mortality rate, the faster and more we can open.“So, when you ask me whether I listen to Dr. Fauci’s advice, my answer is: only with skepticism and caution,” Navarro concluded.Giroir, in the NBC interview, said, “We are all very concerned about the outbreak” of thousands of new cases in the U.S.Giroir said that while the number of coronavirus patients in U.S. hospitals has dropped from a peak of 85,000 to 63,000, “as hospitalizations go up, we would expect deaths to also go up.”More than 136,000 Americans already have died from the virus, and more than 3.4 million have been infected. Both figures are far and away the biggest national totals across the globe.

Напад російських окупантів на медиків – воєнний злочин. Мовчання зеленого карлика – злочин також!
Вчора путляндські окупанти вбили кількох наших захисників. Коли група евакуації вийшла забирати тіло одного з инх, то окупанти відкрили вогонь. Вбили медика і поранили ще одного солдата. Це воєнний злочин та грубе порушення І Женевської конвенції.
Україна має негайно на це відреагувати, але поки наш президент мовчить.

Tuberville Defeats Former US AG Sessions in Senate Primary
Former college football coach Tommy Tuberville has defeated former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions in a Republican primary for a Senate seat representing the southern state of Alabama. Sessions held the seat for 20 years before stepping down to lead the Justice Department when President Donald Trump took office in 2017. He fell out of favor with Trump when he recused himself from the investigation of Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, and the president endorsed Tuberville in the primary. “Tommy Tuberville WON big against Jeff Sessions,” Trump tweeted late Tuesday. “Will be a GREAT Senator for the incredible people of Alabama.” Tuberville moves on to the November general election to face Democratic Senator Doug Jones, who in a similar fashion to Sessions criticized Tuberville as lacking the experience necessary for the job.Former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, joined by family members, delivers his concession speech Tuesday, July 14, 2020, in Mobile, Ala.“The choice before the voters is an unprepared hyper partisan that will add to the divide in Washington, or my proven track-record to find common ground and get things done,” Jones said in a statement. In Maine, state House Speaker Sara Gideon won a three-way Democratic Senate primary battle against attorney Bre Kidman and activist Betsy Sweet. Gideon’s November opponent is Republican Senator Susan Collins. Democrats are targeting Collins as one of their top hopes in unseating a Republican and trying to gain the three seats necessary to flip the current slim Republican majority in the Senate. In Texas, combat veteran Mary Jennings Hegar won her primary runoff election against state senator Royce West and will be the Democrat going against Republican Senator John Cornyn in November. Cornyn has represented Texas for three terms, and polls ahead of Tuesday’s voting showed him leading Hegar by at least 8 points. There were also several House primaries in the three states Tuesday. In the 13th congressional district in Texas, Ronny Jackson, former White House physician during the Trump administration, won the Republican primary and in a strongly Republican district will likely win the seat in November. Former Congressman Pete Sessions won the Republican primary in the state’s 17th district, defeating Renee Swann, who was endorsed by retiring incumbent Congressman Bill Flores.

Trump Toughens Talk and Action on China
Amid rising concerns that Beijing and Washington are drifting toward a Cold War, U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday declared that China’s rise is not a positive development for the United States. Trump made the remarks in the White House Rose Garden, announcing he had signed the Hong Kong Autonomy Act and issued an executive order ending preferential trade treatment for Hong Kong. “Hong Kong will now be treated the same as mainland China,” Trump said of the order. The act imposes sanctions on people, entities and financial institutions connected to China deemed responsible for actions to remove autonomy from Hong Kong.Responding to a reporter’s question, Trump said he has no plans to speak to Chinese President Xi Jinping anytime soon. The remarks came on the heels of fresh sanctions on China over its repression of minorities in Xinjiang and moves by Washington to cut off Chinese companies from American technology. FILE – Chinese President Xi Jinping reaches to vote on a piece of national security legislation concerning Hong Kong during the closing session of China’s National People’s Congress in Beijing, May 28, 2020.The president spent much of his hour in the Rose Garden on Tuesday attacking his opponent in this year’s presidential election, blaming former Vice President Joe Biden for a calamity of errors regarding China and other matters during the Barack Obama administration. “Donald Trump is busy trying to rewrite his miserable history as President of caving to President Xi and the Chinese government at every turn,” the Biden campaign responded in a statement. “But try as he may, Trump can’t hide from a record of weakness and bad deals that consistently put China first and America last.” With the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting economic damage certain to be major topics of the election season, Trump continues to focus blame on China, where the infection was first reported. “We hold China fully responsible for concealing the virus and unleashing it upon the world,” the president said. American Enterprise Institute research fellow Zack Cooper expects Trump to pull the United States out of its trade deal with China as the November election approaches to show that he is tough on Beijing. “But I’m not sure that that’s really going to get the job done, and it’s going to hurt the market a bit, too,” Cooper told VOA. “So, I think there’s some real downsides here for the president in making China such a big campaign issue.” FILE – U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speaks during a news conference at the State Department in Washington, July 8, 2020.Secretary of State Mike Pompeo issued a statement Monday declaring a strengthening of U.S. policy and making clear that China’s “claims to offshore resources across most of the South China Sea — waters through which $4 trillion in trade pass annually — are completely unlawful, as is its campaign of bullying to control them.” Pompeo added that “the world will not allow Beijing to treat the South China Sea as its maritime empire.” The U.S. statement “makes explicit things that had been implied by previous administrations,” said Gregory Poling, senior fellow for Southeast Asia and director of the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “And in that, it sets the stage for more effective diplomatic messaging and stronger responses to China’s harassment of its neighbors.” In response to Pompeo’s announcement, China’s embassy in Washington accused the United States of “throwing its weight around in every sea of the world.” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told reporters during a briefing that Beijing has never strived to build an empire in the South China Sea. “It has become so difficult for the U.S. to marshal an international alliance to counter China because the charges it directs at China are groundless and one-sided, stoked by its strategic anxiety,” the Communist Party-controlled China Daily said in an editorial on Tuesday. “Only those willing to bet their future on the current U.S. administration are likely to be duped by its scaremongering.” Prior to the president’s remarks, the top U.S. diplomat for East Asia said the Trump administration could apply additional sanctions on Chinese officials.“Nothing’s off the table,” David Stilwell, assistant secretary of state for the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, said during an online event organized by the Center for Strategic and International Studies China announced Tuesday it would sanction U.S. aerospace company Lockheed Martin over recent weapons sales to Taiwan, which Beijing claims is a rogue province of China. The Trump administration has pressured allies to cut ties for their development of 5G wireless technology with Chinese company Huawei, a move Britain took on Tuesday.Some influential voices inside and outside the Trump administration are pushing for U.S. technology companies to decouple themselves from China’s supply chain, perceiving the links as a long-term threat to national security. VOA’s Patsy Widakuswara contributed to this report.

Biden Says He Would Spend $2 Trillion to Fight Climate Change
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is proposing to spend $2 trillion to fight climate change and cut carbon emissions from electric power to zero by the middle of the next decade. The presumptive Democratic nominee says his climate plan released Tuesday would also be a job creation plan with a focus on updating the country’s infrastructure through energy-efficient buildings and electric cars. “There’s no more consequential challenge that we must meet in the next decade than the onrushing climate crisis. Left unchecked, it is literally an existential threat to the health of our planet and our very survival,” Biden said. Biden’s plan includes incentives for the U.S. car industry to build electric-powered vehicles that are cleaner to run than cars that rely solely on gasoline. API voices concernsThe American Petroleum Institute says the Biden climate plan could force the U.S. to look overseas for oil and energy sources, pointing out that many of those countries have lower environmental standards than the U.S. “You can’t address the risks of climate change without America’s natural gas and oil industry,” API chief executive Mike Sommers said. Biden’s plan would also steer much of the job creation and clean-energy infrastructure spending toward underprivileged communities. “When Donald Trump thinks about climate change, the only word he can muster is hoax. When I think about climate change, the word I think of is jobs,” Biden said. Many liberal and progressive Democrats have expressed disappointment with what they believe has been Biden’s lack of urgency in talking about climate change. Pandering to liberals?Two Trump supporters — Republican congressmen Steve Scalise and Mike Kelly — say Biden is pandering to liberals and that the middle class will bear the brunt of the Biden plan through higher energy bills. There has been no response to the Biden plan so far from the White House. The Biden campaign said Tuesday his plan to fight climate change is part of what it calls his overall package to revive the U.S. economy, which has been stalled by the coronavirus. Campaign officials say Biden has already promised to boost taxes on corporations and turn back Trump’s tax cuts for wealthy Americans.

Черговий обстріл на Донбасі: семеро українських військових поранені – штаб
Семеро українських військовослужбовців отримали поранення через обстріли гібридних російських сил, повідомляє штаб Операції об’єднаних сил увечері 14 липня.
«На Донеччині поблизу Новомихайлівки, збройні формування Російської Федерації застосували протитанковий ракетний комплекс «Фагот». Шестеро військовослужбовців отримали осколкові поранення. Ще один воїн був поранений внаслідок обстрілу з автоматичних станкових гранатометів, великокаліберних кулеметів та стрілецької зброї неподалік Водяного», – йдеться в заяві штабу.
За повідомленням, всіх поранених евакуювали до лікарень, вони отримують медичну допомогу. Також Об’єднані сили відповіли на вогонь бойовиків.
Раніше протягом дня 14 липня бойовики тричі порушили режим припинення вогню.
Збройний конфлікт на Донбасі триває від 2014 року після російської окупації Криму. Україна і Захід звинувачують Росію у збройній підтримці бойовиків. Кремль відкидає ці звинувачення і заявляє, що на Донбасі можуть перебувати хіба що російські «добровольці».
За даними ООН, від березня 2014-го до 31 жовтня 2019 року внаслідок збройного конфлікту на Донбасі загинули від 13 000 до 13 200 людей.

Trump Administration Rescinds Rule on Foreign Students
Facing eight federal lawsuits and opposition from hundreds of universities, the Trump administration on Tuesday rescinded a rule that would have required international students to transfer or leave the country if their schools held classes entirely online because of the pandemic. The decision was announced at the start of a hearing in a federal lawsuit in Boston brought by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs said federal immigration authorities agreed to pull the July 6 directive and “return to the status quo.” A lawyer representing the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said only that the judge’s characterization was correct. The announcement brings relief to thousands of foreign students who had been at risk of being deported from the country, along with hundreds of universities that were scrambling to reassess their plans for the fall in light of the policy. Under the policy, international students in the U.S. would have been forbidden from taking all their courses online this fall. New visas would not have been issued to students at schools planning to provide all classes online, which includes Harvard. Students already in the U.S. would have faced deportation if they didn’t transfer schools or leave the country voluntarily. Immigration officials issued the policy last week, reversing earlier guidance from March 13 telling colleges that limits around online education would be suspended during the pandemic. University leaders believed the rule was part of President Donald Trump’s effort to pressure the nation’s schools and colleges to reopen this fall even as new virus cases rise. The policy drew sharp backlash from higher education institutions, with more than 200 signing court briefs supporting the challenge by Harvard and MIT. Colleges said the policy would put students’ safety at risk and hurt schools financially. Many schools rely on tuition from international students, and some stood to lose millions of dollars in revenue if the rule had taken hold. Harvard and MIT were the first to contest the policy, but at least seven other federal suits had been filed by universities and states opposing the rule. Harvard and MIT argued that immigration officials violated procedural rules by issuing the guidance without justification and without allowing the public to respond. They also argued that the policy contradicted ICE’s March 13 directive telling schools that existing limits on online education would be suspended “for the duration of the emergency.” The suit noted that Trump’s national emergency declaration has not been rescinded and that virus cases are spiking in some regions. Immigration officials, however, argued that they told colleges all along that any guidance prompted by the pandemic was subject to change. They said the rule was consistent with existing law barring international students from taking classes entirely online. Federal officials said they were providing leniency by allowing students to keep their visas even if they study online from abroad.

Львів’яни попрощалися з Героєм України Тарасом Матвіївим
Натовп людей зібрався біля Гарнізонного храму Петра і Павла у Львові, куди ввечері привезли тіло загиблого Героя України, молодшого лейтенанта 24-ї Королівської бригади імені Данила Галицького, 31-річного Тараса Матвіїва.
Український офіцер загинув 10 липня близько 20 години біля села Троїцьке Луганської області.
Рятуючи побратимів, воїн отримав смертельні поранення від міни. Бойовики обстріляли позиції спершу зі стрілецької зброї, а потім з мінометів і артилерії.
«Тарас був багатогранною людиною і скрізь його було багато, все, за що брався, мало результат. Ми підтримували постійно зв’язок. Він писав, що конфлікт на Донбасі в активній фазі. Його смерть дала розуміння багатьом людям того, що війна продовжується. Його загибель торкнулася багатьох людей, тому так багато прийшли попрощатися», – каже Антон Петрівський, доброволець та побратим загиблого.
Панахиду у львівському храмі провів священник УГКЦ Степан Сус. Попрощатися з Матвіївим прийшли його побратими, військовослужбовці, друзі по волонтерській і громадській роботі, однокурсники.
«Його смерть промовляє, що ми просто маємо гідно жити. Шкода, що такі люди гинуть і суспільство цього не цінує», – говорить побратим Тараса Захар Саджаниця.
Тарас Матвіїв народився 18 лютого 1989 року року на Волині. Проживав у місті Жидачів на Львівщині, куди тіло загиблого Героя України повезли зі Львова і де його поховають 15 липня.

White House Virus Task Force Member Says ‘None of Us Lie’
A top member of the White House coronavirus task force said Tuesday that “none of us lie” to the public, an accusation President Donald Trump had retweeted, and that while kids need to be back in school as Trump insists, “we have to get the virus under control.”
Adm. Brett Giroir’s comment came a day after Trump shared a Twitter post from a former game show host who, without evidence, accused government medical experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, among others, of “lying.”
Trump himself has at times disregarded the advice of his medical experts on the task force and continues to play down the threat from the virus as it spikes across the country, forcing some states to slow or reverse steps to reopen their economies.
Asked on NBC’s “Today,” whether the CDC and other doctors are lying, Giroir allowed that mistakes have been made and that public guidance is updated when more is learned about the virus, “but none of us lie. We are completely transparent with the American people.”
Trump has said on several occasion that the virus will “just disappear.” Giroir said that is unlikely “unless we take active steps to make it disappear.” He appealed to people to wear masks, practice social distancing and to avoid bars and other tightly packed areas.
With U.S. virus cases spiking and the death toll mounting, the White House has worked to undercut its most trusted coronavirus expert, playing down the danger as Trump pushes to get the economy moving before he faces voters in November.
The U.S. has become a cautionary tale across the globe, with once-falling cases now spiraling. However, Trump suggests the severity of the pandemic that has killed more than 135,000 Americans is being overstated by critics to damage his reelection chances.
Trump on Monday retweeted a post by Chuck Woolery, onetime host of TV’s “Love Connection,” claiming that “Everyone is lying” about COVID-19. Woolery’s tweet attacked not just the media and Democrats but the CDC and most doctors “that we are told to trust. I think it’s all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election.”
At the same time, the president and top White House aides are ramping up attacks against Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious diseases expert. Fauci has been increasingly sidelined by the White House as he sounds alarms about the virus, a most unwelcome message at a time when Trump is focused on pushing an economic rebound.
“We haven’t even begun to see the end of it yet,” he said Monday in a talk with the dean of Stanford’s medical school, calling for a “step back” in reopenings.
Last week, Fauci contradicted Trump about the severity of the virus during a FiveThirtyEight podcast. While Trump contends repeatedly that he has done a great job against the pandemic, Fauci said, “As a country, when you compare us to other countries, I don’t think you can say we’re doing great. I mean, we’re just not.”
Trump later said Fauci had “made a lot of mistakes.” He pointed to Fauci’s early disagreement with him over the China travel ban and to the evolving guidance over the use of masks as scientists’ understanding of the virus improved — points the White House expanded on in statements to media outlets over the weekend.
Asked whether the president still had confidence in Fauci, a White House official on Monday insisted Trump did. The official said Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was regarded as “a valued voice” on the White House coronavirus task force. The official spoke on condition of anonymity even though the president has repeatedly railed against anonymous sources.
“I have a very good relationship with Dr. Fauci,” Trump told reporters Monday, calling him “a very nice person.” But the president added, “I don’t always agree with him.”
That supportive message was not echoed by Peter Navarro, a top White House trade adviser who has been working on the coronavirus effort.
In an email, Navarro continued to criticize Fauci to The Associated Press on Monday, saying the doctor has “a good bedside manner with the public but he has been wrong about everything I have ever interacted with him on.” That includes, he said, downplaying the early risk of the virus and expressing skepticism over the use of hydroxychloroquine, which Navarro — who is not a doctor — has aggressively championed despite contradictory evidence on its efficacy and safety.
Asked by NBC News if he was bothered by the White House’s treatment of Fauci, Giroir didn’t answer directly but said “none of us are always right and that’s just the way things are.”
Giroir also appeared to disagree with Trump and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who have been pressuring schools to fully open in the fall, even going as far to threaten those that remain closed with the loss of some federal funds.
Giroir said it was important to “get the virus under control” first. “And if we get the virus under better control, clearly kids can get back into school safely,” he said.
Fauci, who has not appeared at recent White House task force briefings and has been largely absent from television, told the Financial Times last week that he last saw Trump in person at the White House on June 2 and hadn’t briefed him in at least two months.
He blamed the fact that he has refused to toe the administration’s line for its refusal to approve many of his media requests.
“I have a reputation, as you probably have figured out, of speaking the truth at all times and not sugar-coating things. And that may be one of the reasons why I haven’t been on television very much lately,” Fauci said.
Trump’s political foes put it more strongly.
“The president’s disgusting attempt to pass the buck by blaming the top infectious disease expert in the country — whose advice he repeatedly ignored and Joe Biden consistently implored him to take — is yet another horrible and revealing failure of leadership as the tragic death toll continues to needlessly grow,” said Andrew Bates, a spokesman for Democrat Biden’s presidential campaign.

Masks for Kids? Schools Confront Politics of Reopening
On one side are parents saying, let kids be kids. They object to masks and social distancing in classrooms this fall — arguing both could hurt their children’s well-being — and want schools to reopen full time.
On the other side are parents and teachers who call for safeguards that would have been unimaginable before the coronavirus pandemic: part-time school, face coverings for all or a fully online curriculum.
The impassioned tug-of-wars have put educators in the middle of an increasingly politicized debate on how best to reopen schools this fall, a daunting challenge as infections spike in the U.S.
“Don’t tell me my kid has to wear a mask,” said Kim Sherman, a mother of three in the central California city of Clovis who describes herself as very conservative and very pro-Trump. “I don’t need to be dictated to to tell me how best to raise my kids.”
With many districts still finalizing how they may reopen, President Donald Trump has ramped up pressure to get public schools back in business, threatening to withhold federal funding from those that don’t resume in-person classes. Without evidence, he’s accused Democrats of wanting schools closed because of politics, not health.
Similar mudslinging is happening at school board meetings, in neighbors’ social media clashes and in online petitions.
Some parents have threatened to pull their children — and the funding they provide — if masks are required.
Hillary Salway, a mother of three in Orange County, California, is part of a vocal minority calling for schools to fully open with “normal social interaction.” If the district requires masks for her son’s kindergarten class, she says, “I don’t know if my son will be starting his educational career in the public school system this fall.”
She wants him to feel free to hug his teacher and friends and can’t imagine sending him to a school where he’ll get reprimanded for sharing a toy. She started a petition last month urging her district to “keep facial expressions visually available” and helped organize a protest of over 100 people outside the district office, with signs saying, “No to masks, Yes to recess,” and “Let me breathe.”
Dozens have echoed her beliefs at Orange County Board of Education meetings, where the five-member elected body is majority Republican and is recommending a full return to school without masks or social distancing. The board makes recommendations but not policy, and its supporters argue that face coverings are ineffective, give a false sense of security and are potentially detrimental.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says masks may help prevent infected people from spreading the virus to others and urged students and teachers to wear them whenever feasible. Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has ordered Californians to wear them in public.
Brooke Aston Harper, a liberal parent who attended a particularly spirited board meeting recently, said it was “horrifying” that speakers were “imposing their small worldview on all of us.”
“I’m not looking for a fight, I just want us to take precautions,” said Harper, whose children are 4 and 6.
She also started a petition, calling on schools to follow state guidelines that include masks for teachers and students, constant social distancing on campuses and other measures.
“For each school board, the question is going to be: What does our community want, and who is the loudest?” she said.
Many parents, educators and doctors agree that the social, educational and emotional costs to children of a long shutdown may outweigh the risk of the virus itself, even if they don’t agree on how to reopen safely. The American Academy of Pediatrics has issued guidelines supporting in-person school to avoid social isolation and depression in students. But it said science, not politics, must guide decisions where COVID-19 is spreading.
While children have proven to be less susceptible to the virus, teachers are vulnerable. And many are scared.
“I will be wearing a mask, a face shield, possibly gloves, and I’m even considering getting some type of body covering to wear,” says Stacey Pugh, a fifth-grade teacher in suburban Houston.
She hopes her Aldine district will mandate masks for students.
“Come the fall, we’re going to be the front-line workers,” said Pugh, whose two children will do distance learning with her retired father.
In Texas, a virus hot spot, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott and education leaders say it’s safe to reopen schools in August. Districts must offer remote learning for students who opt to stay home, but the state didn’t issue safety guidelines, calling masks a local decision.
The Texas American Federation of Teachers and other unions have demanded clear guidelines.
“Texas AFT says a big ‘hell no’ to what looks like a return to normal in August,” president Zeph Capo said. “We won’t sacrifice our members and students for politics.”
The country’s two largest school districts, New York City and Los Angeles, say schools cannot fully reopen in the liberal cities.
While New York City officials say schools will likely combine in-person and distance learning, the Los Angeles school district announced Monday that its students will start the term with online classes from home. Other California cities, including San Diego and Oakland, also say their campuses will stay closed.
“A 10-year-old student might have a 30-year-old teacher a 50-year-old bus driver or live with a 70-year-old grandmother. All need to be protected,” LA Superintendent Austin Beutner said. “There is a public health imperative to keep schools from becoming a petri dish.”
Besides masks, the CDC has recommended schools spread out desks, stagger schedules, have meals in classrooms instead of the cafeteria and add physical barriers between bathroom sinks.
Many small, rural communities argue they shouldn’t have to comply with the same rules as big cities, where infection rates are higher.
Craig Guensler, superintendent of a small district in California’s mostly rural Yuba County, says officials will try to follow state mandates. They have spent $25,000 on what he calls “spit guards, for lack of a better term” — clear Plexiglas dividers to separate desks — at Wheatland Unified School District’s four schools.
Eighty-five percent of parents said in a survey they want their kids in school full time. Officials will space out desks as much as possible but still expect up to 28 in each classroom, Guensler said. Many parents are adamant their children not wear masks, and he suspects they will find loopholes if California requires them.
“Our expectation is we’re going to get pummeled with pediatricians writing notes, saying, ‘My child can’t wear a mask,'” he said.
