Trump’s Lawyers to Present his Defense in Just 1 Day
Lawyers for former U.S. President Donald Trump say they only need one day to present their client’s case in his impeachment trial before the U.S. Senate.Trump’s lawyers are mounting the former president’s defense Friday without any testimony from the former president, who has declined to participate in the trial.The defense follows a two-day presentation by House Democrats linking Trump’s rhetoric at a rally on Jan. 6 to the actions of the mob that overtook the U.S. Capitol shortly afterward in an attempt to block the certification of the 2020 presidential election results.In an unusual move Thursday, three Republican Senators — Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah — who are jurors in the trial, met with Trump’s lawyers.CNN reported that David Schoen, one of Trump’s lawyers, said the lawmakers wanted to ensure that the Trump’s defense team was “familiar with procedure” before Friday’s presentation.Trump is reported to be disappointed with the performance of his lawyers –- Schoen and Bruce Castor — who were recruited after the former president’s first legal team quit shortly before the trial began.Impeachment prosecutors contended Thursday there is “clear and overwhelming” evidence that former Trump incited insurrection by sending a mob of his supporters to the Capitol last month to confront lawmakers as they were certifying that he had lost the November election to Democrat Joe Biden.In closing arguments, the lead impeachment manager, Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland, told the 100 members of the Senate acting as jurors they should use “common sense on what happened here.”“It is a bedrock principle that no one can incite a riot” in the American democracy, Raskin said.But he argued that Trump urged hundreds of his supporters to march to the Capitol on Jan. 6 and then, when they stormed the building, smashed windows, ransacked offices and scuffled with police, “did nothing for at least two hours” to end the mayhem that left five people dead, including a Capitol Police officer.“He betrayed us,” Raskin said of the former U.S. leader, whose four-year term ended Jan. 20 as Biden was inaugurated as the country’s 46th president. “He incited a violent insurrection against our government. He must be convicted.”Sorry, but your browser cannot support embedded video of this type, you can

But security officials escorted Pence to a secluded room in the Capitol and whisked Pelosi to safety away from the building, which is often seen as a symbol of American democracy.Trump’s lawyers have broadly claimed that Trump’s speech at the rally shortly before the rampage at the Capitol in which he urged his supporters to “fight like hell” was permissible political rhetoric, sanctioned by the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment protection of freedom of speech.Sorry, but your browser cannot support embedded video of this type, you can

If you don’t find [that Trump committed] high crimes and misdemeanors [the standard for conviction of an impeachment charge] you have set a new terrible standard for presidential conduct.”Earlier Thursday, another impeachment manager, Congresswoman Diana DeGette of Colorado, quoted numerous insurgents who stormed the U.S. Capitol who said they acted on Trump’s demands.She said the mob “believed the commander in chief was ordering them. The insurrectionists made clear to police they were just following the orders of the president.”“The insurrectionists didn’t make this up,” she said. “They were told [by Trump] to fight like hell. They were there because the president told them to be there.”DeGette showed lawmakers several television interviews in which the protesters said they went to the Capitol because Trump had commanded them to do so.Several impeachment managers warned that if Trump is acquitted, which is the likely outcome of the trial, he could be emboldened to create more chaos in another run for the presidency in 2024.Congressman Ted Lieu of California said, “You know, I’m not afraid of Donald Trump running again in four years. I’m afraid he’s going to run again and lose, because he can do this again.”Thursday’s session came after several lawmakers told reporters they were shaken by graphic, previously undisclosed videos of the mayhem the Democratic lawmakers showed them Wednesday, with scenes of dozens of officials scrambling to escape the mob that had stormed into the Capitol.But there was no immediate indication that Republican supporters of Trump in the Senate were turning en masse against him. Trump remains on track to be acquitted.A two-thirds vote is needed to convict Trump of a single impeachment charge, that he incited insurrection by urging hundreds of supporters to confront lawmakers at the Capitol to try to upend Biden’s victory. In the politically divided 100-member Senate, 17 Republicans would have to join every Democrat for a conviction.At the moment, it appears that only a handful of Republicans might vote to convict Trump, the only president in U.S. history to be twice impeached.Trump’s lawyers say he bears no responsibility for the attack on the Capitol. The Senate voted 56-44 on Tuesday to move ahead with the trial, rejecting Trump’s claim that it was unconstitutional to try him on impeachment charges since he has already left office. The vote also seemed to signal that relatively few Republicans appear willing to convict him.Trump left Washington hours ahead of Biden’s inauguration Jan. 20 and is living at his Atlantic coastal mansion in Florida.

Fences, Troops Separate Public from Trump Impeachment Trial

The Capitol area remains an ultra-high-security zone, and nearby residents wonder if fortress-like security measures are permanent, given heightened political tensions in the country after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Справа про вибухи на артскладах у 2015 році: двом військовим повідомили про підозру
У справі про знищення військового майна внаслідок вибухів на артскладі у місті Сватове на Луганщині в 2015 році підозрюють двох військовослужбовців через недбале ставлення до служби, повідомила 11 лютого пресслужба Офісу генпрокурора.
«За даними слідства, військовослужбовці підозрюються у порушенні керівних документів та розташуванні підпорядкованих їм підрозділів у безпосередній близькості до складу ракетно-артилерійського озброєння сектору «А» у м. Сватове. Також вони не забезпечили належного розміщення кожної одиниці бойової та іншої техніки на нормативно-встановлених відстанях одна від одної та не провели передбачених інженерних робіт по облаштуванню капонірів, окопів для безпечного збереження озброєння та захисту від ураження. Внаслідок цього стало можливим знищення ввіреної їм військової техніки під час пожежі на території об’єднаного складу ракетно-артилерійського озброєння у м. Сватове, що призвело до детонації боєприпасів. Державі заподіяно понад 18 млн грн майнової шкоди», – йдеться в повідомленні ОГП.
Повідомляється, що також проводяться необхідні слідчі (розшукові) дії щодо встановлення причин виникнення пожежі та вибухів боєприпасів на складі ракетно-артилерійського озброєння, та заподіяних збитків.
У місті Сватове (Луганська область) 29 жовтня 2015 року на складі боєприпасів почали вибухати боєприпаси, майже 4 тисячі тонн боєприпасів здетонували, суттєвих пошкоджень зазнала інфраструктура довкола.

Prosecutors: There’s ‘Clear, Overwhelming’ Evidence Trump Incited Insurrection

Trump Impeachment Prosecutors: Rioters Were Following His Orders – WATCH LIVE
Prosecutors at former U.S. President Donald Trump’s Senate impeachment trial are wrapping up their case Thursday, quoting numerous insurgents who stormed the U.S. Capitol last month who said they acted on Trump’s demands that they confront lawmakers meeting to certify Democrat Joe Biden’s victory in the November election.Representative Diana DeGette of Colorado, one of the Democratic lawmakers from the House whoare prosecuting Trump, said the insurgents “believed the commander in chief was ordering them. The insurrectionists made clear to police they were just following the orders of the president.”In this image from video, House impeachment manager Rep.

Five people were left dead, including a Capitol Police officer whose death is being investigated as a homicide.Thursday’s session came after several lawmakers told reporters they were shaken by graphic, previously undisclosed videos of the mayhem the Democratic lawmakers showed them Wednesday, with scenes of dozens of officials scrambling to escape the mob that had stormed into the Capitol.But there was no immediate indication that Republican supporters of Trump in the Senate were turning en masse against him.

Some of the rioters rifled through documents lawmakers left behind as they fled to safety.Some of the rioters, the January 6 videos showed, shouted that they were trying to find former Vice President Mike Pence to hang him because he had rejected Trump’s demand that he block the certification of the Electoral College outcome so Trump and Pence could remain in power.Other surging protesters, the videos showed, menacingly hunted for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a longtime Trump opponent.The demonstrators stormed into her office, but the prosecutors said authorities had already whisked her away from the Capitol to safety, while some of her staff huddled in a nearby conference room behind a locked door.“The mob was looking for Pence because of his patriotism in order to execute him,” impeachment manager Stacey Plaskett, a House delegate from the U.S. Virgin Islands, told the Senate, referring to the vice president’s looming certification of Biden’s victory.U.S. House impeachment manager Rep.

Instead, they say, his rhetoric amounted to permissible political discourse and was protected by the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech.The Senate voted 56-44 on Tuesday to move ahead with the trial, rejecting Trump’s claim that it was unconstitutional to try him on impeachment charges since he has already left office.

Biden Ends US-Mexico Border Emergency
U.S. President Joe Biden has rescinded a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border and halted the diversion of more federal funds for constructing a wall along the boundary.In a letter Thursday to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Biden said he terminated the emergency that then-President Donald Trump declared in February 2019, saying it was “unwarranted.”Biden also ordered that “no more American taxpayer dollars be diverted to construct a border wall” that ranked among Trump’s highest priorities.The previous administration built about 724 kilometers of the planned 1,192-kilometer wall. Most of the new wall, a 9.1-meter-high steel fence, replaced existing fencing.On his first day in office, Biden signed an executive order temporarily halting construction of the wall as his administration explores ways to stop it permanently.Trump declared a national emergency in 2019 after Congress approved only$1.375 billion of the $5.7 billion he requested for the wall project.The declaration eased restrictions on taxpayer funding, enabling Trump to reallocate more than $6 billion in taxpayer funds intended for other federal initiatives, including more than $3.5 billion set aside for military construction.Trump’s declaration was being challenged in court by a coalition of plaintiffs, including landowners, environmental groups and the American Civil Liberties Union.The Supreme Court was scheduled to hear the case this month, but it canceled the hearing at the Biden administration’s request.Despite Biden’s move to halt the diversion of more funding for wall construction, the more than 3,000 U.S. troops supporting U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the border will not be immediately redeployed.“It won’t have an immediate impact,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters Thursday. “That mission is funded through the rest of the year.”But Kirby left open the possibility that Biden could order the Pentagon to change its mission at the border.

Кличко очолив рейтинг довіри українців – опитування КМІС
Міський голова Києва Віталій Кличко очолив рейтинг довіри українців із результатом у 37,5 відсотка. Про це свідчать дані опитування Київського міжнародного інституту соціології.
«Найбільше респондентів довіряють Віталію Кличку (37,5 відсотка довіряють і 51,8 відсотка не довіряють, баланс довіри-недовіри становить мінус 14,3 відсотка), Володимиру Зеленському (35,6 відсотка проти 59,6 відсотка, баланс – мінус 24 відсотки), Володимиру Гройсману (30,9 відсотка проти 54,2 відсотка, баланс – мінус 23,3 відсотка)», – мовиться в повідомленні.
За даними КМІС, Юрію Бойку довіряють 28,9 відсотка українців проти 48,4 відсотка, баланс – мінус 19,5 відсотка, а Сергію Притулі –27,3 відсотка проти 39, 1 відсотка, баланс – мінус 11,8 відсотка.
«Дмитру Разумкову довіряють 26,6 відсотка проти 28,6 відсотка, баланс – мінус 2,1 відсотка, Юлії Тимошенко – 26,2 відсотка проти 69 відсотка, баланс – мінус 42,8 відсотка, Олегу Ляшку – 25 відсотків проти 68,8 відсотка, баланс – мінус 43,8 відсотка, Петру Порошенку – 22,7 відсотка проти 74,4 відсотка, баланс – мінус 51,7 відсотка, та Ігорю Смешку – 22,3 відсотка проти 18,7 відсотка, баланс – плюс 3,7 відсотка», – додали в інституті соціології.
У КМІС зазначили, що якщо порівнювати відсоток тих, хто довіряє політику, з аналогічним показником у грудні 2020 року, найбільші зміни простежуються у випадку: Віталія Кличка – ріст з 31,8 відсотка до 37,5 відсотка, Володимира Гройсмана – ріст з 25,4 відсотка до 30,9 відсотка, Юлії Тимошенко – ріст з 16,6 відсотка до 26,2 відсотка.
За результатами опитування щодо довіри до керівників деяких інших держав, серед списку лідерів, найбільше респондентів – 36 відсотків – довіряють Олександру Лукашенку. Але при цьому 53,6 відсотка не довіряють йому, тому його баланс довіри-недовіри становить мінус 17,6 відсотка.
«Джо Байдену і Емманюелю Макрону довіряють, відповідно, 26,7 відсотка та 26,2 відсотка українців, а не довіряють – 23,3 відсотка і 23,2 відсотка. Їхній баланс позитивний і становить, відповідно, плюс 3,4 відсотка та плюс 3 відсотки.Найгірше українці ставляться до Володимира Путіна – 79,8 відсотка йому не довіряють проти 14,4 відсотка тих, хто довіряє (баланс – мінус 65,4 відсотка)», – розповіли у КМІС.
Запитували в українців і про підтримку кандидатів на виборах президента. Так, найбільшу підтримку отримав би Зеленський, але його підтримка знизилася у порівнянні з груднем 2020 року (його готові підтримати 22,1 відсотка серед респондентів, які визначилися зі своїм вибором, проти 27 відсотків у грудні 2020 року). Друге-третє місця, як і в грудні 2020-го, ділять Порошенко (13,7 відсотка) і Бойко (13,5 відсотка).
Як розповіли у КМІС, якби у парламентських виборах брали участь ці партії, найбільш імовірно прохідний бар’єр подолали б «ОПЗЖ» (партію підтримали б 24,1 відсотка серед респондентів, які визначилися з вибором), «Слуга народу» (18,2 відсотка), «ЄС» (15,6 відсотка) і «Батьківщина» (10,3 відсотка), «Сила і честь» (6,4 відсотка).
Опитування проводили методом особистого інтерв’ю з використанням планшетів (САРІ) опитано 1205 респондентів, що мешкають у 86 населених пунктах усіх регіонів України (крім АР Крим) за 3-х ступеневою стохастичною вибіркою з квотним відбором на останньому ступені, що репрезентативна для населення України віком від 18 років.
Статистична похибка вибірки (з імовірністю 0,95 і без врахування дизайн-ефекту) не перевищує: 2,9 відсотка — для показників, близьких до 50 відсотків, 2,5 відсотка — для показників, близьких до 25 відсотків, 1,9 відсотка — для показників, близьких до 12 відсотків, 1,3 відсотка — для показників, близьких до 5 відсотків.
За даними опитування соціологічної групи «Рейтинг», якби вибори відбулися найближчим часом, то чинного президента України Володимира Зеленського підтримали б 21,2 відсотка українців, при цьому за ідею відставки голови держави виступають 50 відсотків українців.

Former Republicans Consider Forming Anti-Trump 3rd Party
Dozens of former Republican officials, who view the party as unwilling to stand up to former President Donald Trump and his attempts to undermine U.S. democracy, are in talks to form a center-right breakaway party, four people involved in the discussions told Reuters.The early-stage discussions include former elected Republicans, former officials in the Republican administrations of Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and Trump, ex-Republican ambassadors and Republican strategists, the people involved say.More than 120 of them held a Zoom call Friday to discuss the breakaway group, which would run on a platform of “principled conservatism,” including adherence to the Constitution and the rule of law — ideas those involved say have been trashed by Trump.The plan would be to run candidates in some races but also to endorse center-right candidates in others, be they Republicans, independents or Democrats, the people say.Evan McMullin, who was chief policy director for the House Republican Conference and ran as an independent in the 2016 presidential election, told Reuters that he co-hosted the Zoom call with former officials concerned about Trump’s grip on Republicans and the nativist turn the party has taken.Three other people confirmed to Reuters the call and the discussions for a potential splinter party but asked not to be identified.Among the call participants were John Mitnick, general counsel for the Department of Homeland Security under Trump; former Republican congressman Charlie Dent; Elizabeth Neumann, deputy chief of staff in the Homeland Security Department under Trump; and Miles Taylor, another former Trump homeland security official.The talks highlight the wide intraparty rift over Trump’s false claims of election fraud and the deadly Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol. Most Republicans remain fiercely loyal to the former president, but others seek a new direction for the party.The House of Representatives impeached Trump on Jan. 13 on a charge of inciting an insurrection by exhorting thousands of supporters to march on the Capitol on the day Congress was gathered to certify Democrat Joe Biden’s election victory.Call participants said they were particularly dismayed by the fact that more than half of the Republicans in Congress — eight senators and 139 House representatives — voted to block certification of Biden’s election victory just hours after the Capitol siege.Most Republican senators have also indicated they will not support the conviction of Trump in this week’s Senate impeachment trial.“Large portions of the Republican Party are radicalizing and threatening American democracy,” McMullin told Reuters. “The party needs to recommit to truth, reason and founding ideals or there clearly needs to be something new.”’These losers’Asked about the discussions for a third party, Jason Miller, a Trump spokesperson, said: “These losers left the Republican Party when they voted for Joe Biden.”A representative for the Republican National Committee referred to a recent statement from Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.”If we continue to attack each other and focus on attacking on fellow Republicans, if we have disagreements within our party, then we are losing sight of 2022 (elections),” McDaniel said on Fox News last month.”The only way we’re going to win is if we come together,” she said.McMullin said a plurality of those on last week’s Zoom call backed the idea of a breakaway, national third party. Another option under discussion is to form a “faction” that would operate either inside the current Republican Party or outside it.Names under consideration for a new party include the Integrity Party and the Center Right Party. If it is decided instead to form a faction, one name under discussion is the Center Right Republicans.Members are aware that the U.S. political landscape is littered with the remains of previous failed attempts at national third parties.“But there is a far greater hunger for a new political party out there than I have ever experienced in my lifetime,” one participant said.

Українці розділилися у ставленні до заборони телеканалів «112», Zik та NewsOne – опитування КМІС
Заборону телеканалів «112», Zik та NewsOne вважають необхідним кроком 34,6 відсотка українців, водночас 40,8 відсотка, навпаки, вважають таке рішення помилковим. Про це свідчать дані опитування Київського міжнародного інституту соціології.
Відповідаючи на запитання, чи підтримуєте ви рішення президента та РНБО про заборону трансляції трьох телеканалів, 43% відповіли, що підтримують, не підтримують – 40,3% опитаних. Так, на заході та в центрі більше тих, хто підтримує рішення, а на півдні, сході та Донбасі більше тих, хто не підтримує рішення.
Найбільше підтримують виборці «ЄС», «Слуги народу» та «Сили і честі», найменше – «ОПЗЖ». Виборці «Батьківщини» мають змішані думки, вказано у дослідженні.
Опитування проводилося методом телефонних інтерв’ю з використанням комп’ютера серед повнолітніх респондентів. На основі випадкової вибірки мобільних телефонних номерів опитали 2005 осіб, що мешкають у всіх регіонах України (крім АР Крим).
2 лютого президент України Володимир Зеленський ввів у дію рішення Ради національної безпеки й оборони про запровадження санкцій проти Тараса Козака та восьми юридичних осіб. Санкції передбачають блокування телеканалів «112 Україна», NewsOne та ZiK, формальним власником яких є Козак.
Телеканали у своїй заяві розкритикували санкції та назвали рішення влади «політичною розправою над невгодними ЗМІ».

Київрада звернулась до уряду щодо передачі Гостиного двору в комунальну власність столичної громади
Депутати Київради ухвалили звернення до уряду щодо передачі Гостиного двору в комунальну власність територіальної громади столиці, повідомляє у четвер пресслужба Київміськадміністрації. Згідно з повідомленням, підтримали проєкт рішення 104 депутати.
«Ми вже не один рік із громадою столиці відстоюємо повернення місту цієї пам’ятки архітектури. Нас водять по колу. А приміщення тим часом руйнується. Ми вже могли б приступити до відновлення будівлі, в комплексі з реконструкцією Контрактової площі та реалізацією концепції пішохідного Подолу. Я сподіваюся, що уряд відреагує на наше звернення. І передасть Гостиний двір громаді Києва. Бо це вже не особисте прохання мера, це – спільна позиція всього депутатського корпусу», – прокоментував мер Києва Віталій Кличко.
Гостиний двір – будівля, зведена на початку 19-го століття на Подолі у Києві. У серпні 2011 року Гостиний двір виключили з переліку памʼятників архітектури, у квітні 2012 року Київрада дала дозвіл на реконструкцію будівлі під торгівельно-офісний центр.
У наступні роки відбувалася боротьба за Гостиний двір у судах. У лютому 2018 року Київський апеляційний господарський суд зобов’язав повернути будівлю державі. Наступного року юридичним власником будівлі став Фонд державного майна України.
Нещодавно міністр культури та інформаційної політики Олександр Ткаченко попросив уряд передати Гостиний двір у Києві на баланс його відомству, щоб облаштувати там музей сучасного мистецтва та культурний хаб.

Jill Biden Pushes Free Access to Community College, Training
Jill Biden is pushing free access to community college and training programs, saying the schools will be an important part of Biden administration efforts to rebuild the economy.A longtime community college professor and advocate, the first lady said people struggling to get by during the coronavirus-induced economic slump need access to these schools.”We have to get this done. And we have to do it now. That’s why we’re going to make sure that everyone has access to free community college and training programs,” Jill Biden said in taped remarks broadcast Tuesday during a virtual legislative summit hosted by the Association of Community College Trustees and the American Association of Community Colleges.She was not more specific. As a presidential candidate, Joe Biden promised two years of community college or training “without debt.”Similar proposals have been put forward in the past.In 2015, President Barack Obama and then-Vice President Joe Biden pushed a plan to provide two years of free community college, but the proposal languished in Congress.Jill Biden indicated that the administration would revive the idea.”We’re going to make sure students have the support they need to cross that finish line,” she said. “We’re going to invest in programs that prepare our workers for jobs of the future.”Average annual tuition and fees at a community college cost $3,730 during the 2019-20 academic year, compared with an average of $10,440 for in-state tuition and fees at a four-year public college, according to the American Association of Community Colleges.Jill Biden, who continues to teach — albeit virtually — and is the first first lady with a paying job outside the White House, said community colleges are no longer America’s “best kept secret,” as she has long been fond of saying.”They are our most powerful engine of prosperity,” she said.The first lady teased a future White House summit on community colleges. She gave no hints on when it would be held and her office did not immediately respond to emailed requests for comment. She helped lead a White House community college summit during the Obama-Biden administration.

Impeachment Prosecutor: Trump Was ‘Inciter in Chief’
Prosecutors at former U.S. President Donald Trump’s Senate impeachment trial began to lay out their case against him on Wednesday, saying he was “no innocent bystander” to the violence that erupted at the U.S. Capitol last month as lawmakers certified Democrat Joe Biden’s victory in the November election.Congressman Jamie Raskin, the lead impeachment manager, and other Democratic lawmakers said Trump laid the groundwork for the storming of the Capitol over a period of weeks leading up to the election with dozens of unfounded claims that the only way he could lose was if the election was rigged against him.Raskin contended that Trump, by urging hundreds of his supporters to “fight like hell” in confronting lawmakers at the Capitol on January 6, ignited the mayhem that left five people dead, including a Capitol Police officer.“He incited this attack,” Raskin told the 100-member Senate that will decide whether Trump should be convicted of a single article of impeachment brought by the House of Representatives. It accuses him of “incitement of insurrection.”
“He clearly surrendered his role as commander in chief and became the inciter in chief,” Raskin argued. He contended that Trump, now out of office after his four-year term ended and Biden was inaugurated January 20, “was singularly responsible” in exhorting his supporters to try to upend Biden’s victory.Hundreds of his supporters – perhaps about 800, according to law enforcement authorities – rampaged through the Capitol, breaking windows, bashing doors, ransacking some congressional offices and scuffling with police. Dozens of the rioters, many of whom bragged on social media about storming into the two chambers of Congress, have been charged with criminal offenses as the investigation of the chaos continues.The House impeachment managers showed dozens of Twitter comments and video clips in which Trump claimed election fraud and urged his supporters to show up in Washington January 6 as Congress met to certify the 306-232 Electoral College vote favoring Biden.“Will be wild!” Trump tweeted.After nearly four hours of mayhem, lawmakers certified the Biden victory in the middle of the night early on January 7, making Trump the fifth U.S. president in the country’s history to be defeated after a single term in office.FILE – Supporters of then-President Donald Trump riot in front of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Jan. 6, 2021, before storming the building.Now, Raskin said, in 2021 the usually routine certification of U.S. presidential election results will be remembered as “a day that will live in disgrace.”Congressman Joe Neguse, another House impeachment manager, said that in rallying supporters before the storming of the Capitol complex, Trump “wanted to stop the transfer of power even though he had lost the election.”“This attack was provoked by the president,” Neguse said. “It was predictable and foreseeable. He had the power to stop it and he didn’t.”Delegate Stacey Plaskett of the U.S. Virgin Islands, another House impeachment manager, said the rioters “were doing the duty of their president. He knew of the violence they were capable of.” Congresswoman Madeleine Dean of Pennsylvania contended that Trump was “desperate to retain power by any means possible.” She said Trump told the protesters “exactly what he wanted them to do.” Dean quoted from Trump’s speech to his supporters at a rally near the White House where he told them, “We will never give up. We will never concede.” The House impeachment managers have up to 16 hours over Wednesday and Thursday to make their case before Trump’s lawyers get an equal amount of time.Trump’s lawyers say that he bears no responsibility for the attack on the Capitol, a worldwide symbol of American democracy.Instead, they say that Trump’s rhetoric amounted to normal political discourse and was protected by the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech.FILE – With the White House in the background, former President Donald Trump, seen on a giant screen, speaks to his supporters during a rally in Washington, Jan. 6, 2021, ahead of many in the crowd storming the U.S. Capitol.The Senate voted 56-44 on Tuesday to move ahead with the trial, rejecting Trump’s claim that it was unconstitutional to try him on impeachment charges since he has already left office. Raskin said Tuesday that not holding the trial would create a “dangerous” new “January exception” during which future U.S. presidents could act with impunity in their final weeks in office.“It’s an invitation to the president to take his best shot at anything he may want to do on his way out the door,” Raskin said.The Democrats showed the Senate a dramatic video montage establishing a timeline of the chaotic events on January 6. Trump lawyer Bruce Castor Jr. rejected the notion of a “January exception” in which future presidents would be immune as “nonsense.” He said that if Trump committed any offenses, “arrest him,” now that he is a private citizen and no longer immune from prosecution.Castor quoted the Constitution saying that conviction on impeachment charges “shall not extend further than removal from office,” an impossibility since Trump’s term has already ended. The 56-44 vote to proceed with the trial, in which six Republicans joined all 50 Democrats, showed that Trump remains likely to be acquitted. A two-thirds majority is needed to convict Trump, meaning 17 Republicans would have to vote with the Democrats.Whatever the outcome, Trump is the only U.S. president to be impeached twice.Trump declined Democrats’ offer to testify in his defense and is not expected to attend the trial. The high-profile proceeding, broadcast across the country, could last a week or longer.

До Львова на час негоди заборонили в’їзд вантажівок, школам пропонують «дистанційку»
Влада Львова ухвалила рішення з 10 лютого на час негоди не пропускати великогабаритний транспорт у місто, за винятком того, що забезпечує його життєдіяльність. Таке рішення ухвалив міський штаб з оперативного реагування щодо негоди.
Як передає кореспондент Радіо Свобода, також 11-12 лютого у школах Львова дозволили дистанційне навчання, а роботодавців попросили сприяти віддаленій роботі працівників.
За словами керівниці управління освіти Львова Зоряни Довганик, освітяни опитують батьків, щоб визначити форму навчання на два найближчі дні.
«Навчальні заклади, де більшість дітей на навчання довозять із різних частин міста, найімовірніше, перейдуть на навчання з використанням дистанційних технологій. Тоді як школи, що розташовані в мікрорайонах, де більшість учнів мешкають і можуть пішки дійти до школи, продовжать роботу у звичному режимі. Дитячі дошкільні навчальні заклади працюватимуть у звичному режимі», – повідомила Довганик.
Протягом двох останніх днів у Львові випало понад 120% місячної норми опадів. 11 і 12 лютого, за прогнозами синоптиків, очікують сильний снігопад і зниження температури повітря до -18 градусів. У місті працюють цілодобово два пункти обігріву для безхатченків.

Зібраних коштів має вистачити на ремонт згорілого Bistro Bistro – власник київського закладу
На ремонт київського закладу Bistro Bistro, в якому сталася пожежа 8 лютого, з пожертв уже зібрали необхідну суму. Про це повідомив у коментарі Радіо Свобода власник закладу Ян Монастирський.
«На ремонт зібраної суми має вистачити», – заявив Монастирський.
За його словами, причина пожежі – вибух та займання холодильника.
Речник Нацполіції у коментарі Радіо Свобода зазначив, що за фактом пожежі правоохоронці відкрили кримінальне провадження.
«Відкрили провадження – частина перша 272 статті – порушення правил безпеки під час виконання робіт із підвищеною небезпекою», – повідомили в Нацполіції.
Після того, як сталася пожежа, у соцмережах виникла дискусія. Частина користувачів поширювала заклики зібрати кошти на ремонт закладу.
Інша частина коментаторів обурилася з цього приводу, апелюючи до висловлювань власника Bistro Bistro щодо питання мови.
Монастирський відмовився коментувати Радіо Свобода свою позицію щодо мовного питання.

Діти переселенців отримали право першочергового зарахування до дитячих садків – МінТот
Діти внутрішньо переміщених осіб отримали право першочергового зараховуватися до дитячих садків. Про це повідомляє Міністерство з питань реінтеграції тимчасово окупованих територій.
«Внаслідок збройної агресії Російської Федерації та тимчасової окупації частини території України велика кількість внутрішньо переміщених осіб зіштовхнулась з труднощами запису дитини в чергу для навчання в державних та комунальних закладах дошкільної освіти. Серед них чимало одиноких матерів з малолітніми дітьми, що значно ускладнює або навіть унеможливлює їх працевлаштування. В той же час, 27 січня 2021 року Кабінетом Міністрів України прийнято постанову № 86, якою затверджено Положення про заклад дошкільної освіти, що визначає основні засади діяльності таких закладів (крім будинків дитини, дитячих будинків інтернатного типу)», – мовиться у повідомленні.
За ініціативи МінТот, до положення додали норму, яка дозволяє дітям з числа внутрішніх переселенців та дітям зі статусом постраждалих від воєнних дій і збройних конфліктів гарантовано зараховуватися до закладів дошкільної освіти державної та комунальної форм власності першочергово.
За даними Міністерства соціальної політики, станом на початок 2021 року в Україні налічувалося понад 1,5 мільйона внутрішньо переміщених осіб.

Український військовий поранений на Донбасі – ОТУ «Схід»
Український військовий отримав поранення від пострілу снайпера в зоні Операції Об’єднаних сил на Донбасі, повідомляє оперативно-тактичне угруповання «Схід» 10 лютого.
«Неподалік населеного пункту Піски російсько-окупаційні війська здійснили прицільний постріл по наших позиціях зі снайперської зброї. Внаслідок цього один український воїн отримав вогнепальне поранення. Військовослужбовця оперативно доправлено до лікувального закладу, де йому надається необхідна медична допомога. Стан здоров’я пораненого – задовільний», – стверджують у підрозділі.

За повідомленням, українські військові «адекватно» відповіли на порушення режиму тиші з боку бойовиків. Про подію повідомили представників ОБСЄ через українську сторону Спільного центру контролю та координації питань припинення вогню та стабілізації лінії розмежування сторін.
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 квітня 2014-го до 31 липня 2020 року внаслідок збройного конфлікту на Донбасі загинули від 13 100 до 13 300 людей.

Понад 10 мільйонів українців скористалися порталом «Дія» за рік – Федоров
Понад 10 мільйонів українців скористались державним порталом й додатком «Дія», що надає онлайн-доступ до низки державних послуг, за рік від моменту його запуску. Про це розповів віцепрем’єр-міністр – міністр цифрової трансформації України Михайло Федоров, розповідаючи про інновації в умовах пандемії в рамках тематичного форуму в Києві.
«Під час коронавірусу у п’ять разів збільшилася кількість користувачів державними послугами онлайн, реально трасформується споживацька поведінка», – сказав Федоров.
Михайло Федоров сформулював чотири цілі з цифрової трасформації країні, які наразі ставить перед своєю командою:
відцифрувати всі державні послуги, що є в країні;
покрити територію України на 95% інтернетом – мобільним і фіксованим;
навчити шість мільйонів людей базовій цифровій грамотності;
зробити один із найкращих у світі податкових і правових режимів для креативної і ІТ-індустрії.
Керівник проєкту «Дія» Мстислав Банік заявляв 7 лютого, що в квітні додаток поповниться новими послугами, що пов’язані з підприємництвом і ЄСВ. Наразі там вже є можливість відкрити ФОП, зареєструвати дитину, отримати допомогу по безробіттю, зареєструвати авто, отримати послуги з землеустрою та інше.
6 лютого 2020 року команда Міністерства цифрової трасформації презентувала застосунок «Дія». На початку у ньому працювали електронне посвідчення водія та свідоцтво для реєстрації (техпаспорт) автомобіля. Тоді розробники ставили перед собою таку задачу: протягом трьох років оцифрувати всі державні послуги, а 50 основних послуг – уже у 2020 році.

Senate Schedules Confirmation Hearing for Merrick Garland
The Senate Judiciary Committee has set a confirmation hearing for Merrick Garland, President Joe Biden’s nominee for attorney general.Garland’s confirmation hearing will begin on February 22. The two-day hearing will include Garland’s testimony and a second day for outside witnesses to testify.The committee’s chair, Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, said Garland’s hearing was particularly urgent after the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, when hundreds of supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol as Congress was meeting to vote to certify Biden’s electoral win.The Field of Empty Chairs is seen during the 20th Remembrance Ceremony, the anniversary ceremony for victims of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, at the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma April 19, 2015.Garland is a federal appeals court judge who in 2016 was snubbed by Republicans for a seat on the Supreme Court. He held senior positions at the Justice Department decades ago, including as a supervisor of the prosecution of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.The pick will force Senate Republicans to contend with the nomination of someone they spurned four years ago — refusing even to hold hearings when a Supreme Court vacancy arose — but Biden is banking on Garland’s credentials and reputation for moderation to ensure confirmation.”Judge Garland will serve the Justice Department and our country with honor and integrity,” Durbin said. “He is a consensus pick who should be confirmed swiftly on his merits.”The committee is set to vote on Garland’s nomination on March 1.

White House Distances Biden from Trump Impeachment Trial
U.S. President Joe Biden says while the impeachment trial of his predecessor is under way in the Senate, he will be focused on alleviating the suffering from the coronavirus pandemic.“I am not,” Biden replied when asked by reporters Tuesday in the Oval Office whether he is watching the trial. “We have already lost over 450,000 people, and we could lose a whole lot more if we don’t act and act decisively and quickly. … A lot of children are going to bed hungry. A lot of families are food insecure. They’re in trouble. That’s my job. The Senate has their job, and they’re about to begin it, and I am sure they are going to conduct themselves well.”The president added he will not be saying anything further about impeachment of former President Donald Trump, whom Biden defeated in last November’s election.White House press secretary Jen Psaki speaks during a press briefing at the White House, Feb. 9, 2021, in Washington.“He’s not a pundit. He’s not going to opine on the back-and-forth arguments, nor is he watching them,” replied White House press secretary Jen Psaki, when asked earlier in the day by a reporter about the historic proceedings, which began Tuesday.Psaki was also asked how Biden, as the current officeholder, could not weigh in on whether it is constitutional for the Senate to put a former president on trial and whether it could set a dangerous precedent for the presidency.The press secretary did not give a direct answer.“He is going to wait for the Senate to determine the outcome of this,” she said during the White House daily media briefing. “His view is that his role should be currently focused on addressing the needs of the American people, putting people back to work, addressing the pandemic.”Focus on issues, not impeachmentThe White House is seeking to portray the president as focused on such issues while the impeachment trial takes place.The White House has arranged visits by Biden to the Defense Department and the National Institutes of Health this week. Next Tuesday, the president is to travel to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he will participate in a televised town hall-style event.During the February 16 live broadcast, the president will answer questions about his administration’s efforts “to contain the coronavirus pandemic and jump-start a troubled economy,” according to CNN, which will air the event. The cable network explained it will include “an invitation-only, socially distanced audience.”Administration officials say there is no political advantage for Biden, a former senator and vice president, to inject himself into the impeachment trial, which would be seen as a political move so early in his presidency and at a time when Americans are looking for him to focus on alleviating the suffering caused by the pandemic.Mob failed to stop certificationThe House of Representatives last month impeached Trump for inciting violence against the government on January 6, when a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol complex to try to halt the certification of electoral votes affirming Biden as the winner of last November’s election.Biden “has put out multiple statements conveying that what the (former) president did and his words and his actions, and of course the events of January 6, were a threat to our democracy,” Psaki said Tuesday.Trump is the first U.S. president to be impeached twice. The first time was in December of 2019 when the House voted he had abused his power and obstructed Congress, stemming from a July 2019 phone call in which he pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to announce an investigation into Biden.The Senate acquitted Trump on both counts last year.
