REPORT: Mike Cernovich Reveals Obama Natl Security Advisor Susan Rice Responsible For Unmasking Trump Team-Apr 3, 2017 12:04 AM

Journalist and author Mike Cernovich has just dropped an exclusive bombshell - naming Obama's National Security Advisor Susan Rice as the official responsible for the 'unmasking' of the incoming Trump team during 'incidental' surveillance. This was apparently discovered after the White House Counsel's office reviewed Rice's document log requests:The reports Rice requested to see are kept under tightly-controlled conditions. Each person must log her name before being granted access to them.Upon learning of Rice’s actions, [National Security Advisor] H. R. McMaster dispatched his close aide Derek Harvey to Capitol Hill to brief Chairman Nunes.Cernovich points out, as revealed in an article by Circa, that President Obama began loosening the rules regarding "incidental intercepts" starting in 2011 - making it easier for the US Government to spy on individuals who are not the primary target(s) of a surveillance operation.As his presidency drew to a close, Barack Obama’s top aides routinely reviewed intelligence reports gleaned from the National Security Agency’s incidental intercepts of Americans abroad, taking advantage of rules their boss relaxed starting in 2011 to help the government better fight terrorism, espionage by foreign enemies and hacking threats-And guess who had authorization to unmask individuals who were 'incidentally' surveilled? Former CIA Director John Brennan, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and Obama's National Security advisor Susan Rice.Also of note is the claim that New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman has been sitting on the Susan Rice story for at least two days:This reporter has been informed that Maggie Haberman has had this story about Susan Rice for at least 48 hours, and has chosen to sit on it in an effort to protect the reputation of former President Barack Obama.Fox News anchor Adam Housley tweeted on Friday that the surveillance that led to the unmasking began before Trump was the GOP nominee:Our sources: This surveillance that led to the unmasking of private names of American citizens started before Trump was the GOP nominee.— Adam Housley (@adamhousley) March 31, 2017-Housley also said that the person who did the unmasking is a "very senior" and "very well known" person in the surveillance community - and not someone in the FBI.Our sources:The person who did the unmasking is "very well known, very high up, very senior, in the intelligence world & is not in the FBI-— Adam Housley (@adamhousley) March 31, 2017-It seems the spreading of names was done for “political purposes that have nothing to do with national security,” or foreign intelligence, but hurting Trump’s team, Housley noted."It had everything to do with hurting and embarrassing Trump and his team," according to his sources. -TownHall-This of course begs the question of whether or not President Obama would have ordered Rice to perform the unmasking...Content originally generated at iBankCoin.com - Follow on Twitter @ZeroPointNow

Babies cry more in UK, Canada and Italy, less in Germany, study finds-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-April 3, 2017

LONDON (Reuters) - Babies cry more in Britain, Canada, Italy and Netherlands than in other countries, while newborns in Denmark, Germany and Japan cry and fuss the least, researchers said on Monday.In research looking at how much babies around the world cry in their first three months, psychologists from Britain have created the first universal charts for normal amounts of crying during that period."Babies are already very different in how much they cry in the first weeks of life," said Dieter Wolker, who led the study at Warwick University."We may learn more from looking at cultures where there is less crying -- (including) whether this may be due to parenting or other factors relating to pregnancy experiences or genetics."The highest levels of colic – defined as crying more than three hours a day for at least three days a week – were found in babies in Britain, Canada and Italy, while the lowest colic rates were found in Denmark and Germany.On average, the study found, babies cry for around two hours a day in the first two weeks. They then cry a little more in the following few weeks until they peak at around two hours 15 minutes a day at six weeks. This then reduces to an average of one hour 10 minutes by the time they are 12 weeks old.But there are wide variations, with some babies crying as little as 30 minutes a day, and others more than five hours.The research, published in the Journal of Pediatrics, was a meta-analysis of studies covering some 8,700 babies in countries including Germany, Denmark, Japan, Canada, Italy, the Netherlands and Britain.Wolker said the new crying chart would help health workers reassure parents whether their baby is crying within a normal range in the first three months, or may need extra support.(Reporting by Kate Kelland; Editing by Catherine Evans)

Democrats Have Enough Votes To Block Gorsuch Nomination, "Nuclear" Showdown Inevitable-by Tyler Durden-Apr 3, 2017 1:34 PM

As we previewed last Friday when Senator Clair McCaskill's "No" decision was seen by many "whip counts" as the decisive "final" vote, moments ago Senate Democrats clinched enough support to block Neil Gorsuch's nomination to the Supreme Court, in the process setting up what now appears an inevitable "nuclear" showdown over Senate rules later this week.The threshold was passed when Sen. Chris Coons  announced on Monday that he will oppose President Trump's pick on a procedural vote where he will need the support of eight Democrats to cross a 60-vote threshold. Coons became the 41st Democrat to back the filibuster.“Throughout this process, I have kept an open mind … I have decided that I will not support Judge Gorsuch’s nomination," Coons said quoted by The Hill. "I am not ready to end debate on this issue. So I will be voting against cloture," Coons said, absent a deal to avoid the nuclear option.After Coons' decision, unless one of the 41 Democrats change their vote, the filibuster of Gorsuch will be sustained in a vote later this week.More details from The Hill:Gorsuch's path to overcoming a filibuster closed on Monday after Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), Patrick Leahy (Vt.) and Mark Warner (Va.) each announced they would oppose Gorsuch's nomination. Only four Democratic senators have said they will support President Trump's pick on the initial vote: Sens. Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), Joe Donnelly (Ind.), Joe Manchin (W.Va.) and Sen. Michael Bennet (Colo.).Heitkamp, Donnelly and Manchin are each up for reelection in states carried by Trump in the 2016 election. Bennet — who won reelection last year — has been under a microscope because of Gorsuch's ties to Colorado, and didn't specify that he would vote for the nominee during a final vote.Having been "under a mountain of pressure" from liberal outside groups to block Gorsuch's nomination, Democrats predictably caved. "Progressives argue that voting for his nomination — even on a procedural vote — helps enable President Trump and is out of line with what the base of the party wants. With Democrats now able to block Gorsuch's nomination, Republicans are expected to change the rules to circumvent the filibuster."The most likely next step is the Republican use of the nuclear option (previewed earlier), and although GOP leadership hasn't specifically said they will use the "nuclear option,"  GOP senators appear resigned to lowering the threshold for Supreme Court nominations. Republicans have been quick to note that Democrats, then led by Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), used the nuclear option in 2013  to lower the confirmation threshold for lower court judges and executive nominees."If we have to, we will change the rules, and it looks like we're going to have to," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said during the Senate Judiciary Committee's meeting on Gorsuch's nomination. "I hate that. I really, really do."Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), the No. 2 Senate Republican and a member of the committee, added that Gorsuch will be confirmed by the end of the week.  “If they're going to oppose Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court of the United States, they will never vote and never support a nominee of this President," he said. With the Judiciary Committee expected to clear Gorsuch's nomination on Monday, a full Senate vote is expected by the end of the week.Graham compared Democratic complaints to "arsonist complaining about the fire."

Israel fears 'Iranian crescent' in Middle East-[AFP]-YAHOONEWS-April 3, 2017

Jerusalem (AFP) - Israel fears an "Iranian crescent" may be forming in the Middle East because of Tehran's influence in Syria and its connections with regional Shiite groups, an intelligence official said Monday.The comments from Chagai Tzuriel, director general of Israel's intelligence ministry, illustrate his country's growing concerns over its arch-foe Iran's involvement in the conflict in neighbouring Syria.Iran's support for Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah, which also backs Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime, also concerns Israel, as does Tehran's influence in Iraq and its support for groups such as the Huthi rebels in Yemen."I think that... Israel believes that if Iran bases itself for the long run in Syria it will be a constant source of friction and tension with the Sunni majority in Syria, with the Sunni countries outside Syria, with Sunni minorities outside the region, with Israel," Tzuriel told foreign reporters."And I think that may be only the tip of the iceberg," he added. "We're talking here about the creation of an Iranian crescent."Part of it, he said, involved worries that Iran could complete a "land bridge" through Iraq, Syria and Lebanon to the Mediterranean.Israel has sought to avoid being dragged into the six-year Syrian conflict, but has acknowledged carrying out strikes to stop advanced weapons deliveries to Hezbollah, with whom it fought a devastating war in 2006.Last month, in the most serious incident between the two countries since the Syria war began, Israeli warplanes struck several targets there, drawing retaliatory missile fire.Israel used its Arrow interceptor to destroy what was believed to have been a Russian-made SA 5 missile, and Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman threatened to destroy Syria's air defence systems "without the slightest hesitation" if it happened again.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has held a series of talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in recent months on how to avoid accidental clashes in Syria.A "hotline" has been set up between the two countries, but Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz has said Moscow is not notified in advance of an Israeli strike.Russia backs Assad in Syria, but Israeli officials say they are confident they can continue to coordinate with Moscow despite their differing interests.

Colombia starts to bury 262 landslide victims, search continues-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-April 3, 2017

MOCOA, Colombia (Reuters) - Scores of decomposing cadavers were being released for burial on Monday as rescuers continued to search for victims of weekend flooding and landslides that devastated a city in southern Colombia, killing at least 262 people.Desperate families queued for blocks in the heat to search a morgue for loved ones who died when several rivers burst their banks in the early hours of Saturday, sending water, mud and debris crashing down streets and into houses as people slept.Bodies wrapped in white sheets lay on the concrete floor of the morgue as officials sought to bury them as soon as possible to avoid the spread of disease. The government will begin vaccination against infectious disease on Monday."My father's funeral is planned for this afternoon, but if his body becomes too fetid, we'll have to do it without the ceremony," said Maria Helena Benitez, a 50-year-old farming housewife.The death toll may rise further as rescuers searched with dogs and machinery in the mud-choked rubble.Many families in Mocoa spent all night digging through the debris with their hands despite a lack of food, clean water and electricity. Only about 45 bodies have been identified so far.President Juan Manuel Santos, who made a second visit to the area on Sunday, blamed climate change for the disaster, saying Mocoa had received one-third of its usual monthly rain in just one night, causing the rivers to burst their banks.Others said deforestation in surrounding mountains meant there were few trees to prevent water washing down bare slopes.More than 500 people were staying in emergency housing and social services had helped 10 lost children find their parents. As many as 43 children were killed.Families of the dead will receive about $6,400 in aid and the government will cover hospital and funeral costs.Even in a country where heavy rains, a mountainous landscape and informal construction combine to make landslides a common occurrence, the scale of the Mocoa disaster was daunting compared to recent tragedies, including a 2015 landslide that killed nearly 100 people.Colombia's deadliest landslide, the 1985 Armero disaster, killed more than 20,000 people.Santos urged Colombians to take precautions against flooding and continued rains.Flooding in Peru last month killed more than 100 people and destroyed infrastructure.(Reporting by Andres Rojas, Helen Murphy and Luis Jaime Acosta; Editing by James Dalgleish)

Desperate hunt for children in Colombia town where 250 died-[Associated Press]-ALBA TOBELLA-YAHOONEWS-April 3, 2017

MOCOA, Colombia (AP) — Jose Albeiro Vargas last saw his grandson the night fierce rain unleashed havoc on this small city surrounded by rivers and mountains in southern Colombia.From what Vargas has been able to gather, the torrents of mud, water and debris unleashed on the city of Mocoa by the rain-swollen river swept away his daughter and her 18-month-old grandson, Jadir Estiven. Ever since, has been searching for them without success."They were hit by the strongest avalanche," Vargas, a clothing store owner who was so exhausted he could barely speak or open his eyes, said Sunday.He is far from the only person in Mocoa searching desperately for young loved ones. At least 43 children were among the confirmed dead from the devastating flood, according to President Juan Manuel Santos. Santos later wrote on his Twitter account that he had been informed the overall death toll had increased to 254.The young may have been particularly vulnerable in this disaster because nearly all were in bed when the floods surged through the city of 40,000 Friday night and early Saturday.Maria Cordoba, 52, said two of her nephews, ages 6 and 11, were killed when their house was destroyed. "The mother as well was totally beaten up" but managed to save her 18-month-old baby, she said while at the river trying to clean items she salvaged from her home.The death toll from the flood, one of the worst natural disasters to strike the country in years, was expected to rise as many people were injured or remained unaccounted for, and bodies were still being pulled from the thick mud, tree limbs and debris that covered much of the city. The deluge smashed houses, tore trees out by the roots and washed cars and trucks away.Search-and-rescue teams combed through the debris and helped people who had been clawing at huge mounds of mud by hand."People went to their houses and found nothing but the floor," said Gilma Diaz, a 42-year-old from another town who came to search for a cousin.Dozens stood in the door of a hospital, hoping for news of family members who were not on the list of those confirmed dead or injured. Others frantically knocked on relatives' doors, hoping to find someone with information about their loved ones.A rescue worker in an orange jumpsuit emerged from one search area with the body of an infant wrapped in a towel. Not far away, Abelardo Solarte, a 48-year-old resident of Mocoa, held a child's shoe as he helped clear debris."You have no idea how many kids there are around here," Solarte said.Jair Echarri, who came from a nearby town to help, also struggled to comprehend the loss of so many children. "I am a father and this breaks my heart," he said.Santos, who visited Mocoa for a second straight day Sunday, declared the area a disaster zone. The president said the avalanche of water and debris also destroyed roads and bridges, knocked out power in half of the province of Putumayo, where Mocoa is located, and destroyed the area's fresh water network, creating dangerous and unsanitary conditions.Mocoa is vulnerable to flooding. It is surrounded by the three rivers in a natural basin created by the surrounding mountains.The danger has grown worse in recent years because of deforestation, which eliminates some protection from runoff, and because many people built their homes close to the water. But the triggering event was rainfall of more than 5 inches (130 millimeters) that began late Friday."The rain fell on Mocoa with an intensity and force that was without precedent and devastating," Santos said. "It rained in two hours what falls in a month in Bogota."A 1989 hydrology report for the Agricultural Ministry warned that just such a disaster could happen unless steps were taken to reinforce the riverbanks, channel water away from the town and restore some of the forest. It was not immediately clear why those steps had not been taken.Juan Chanchi de Ruiz, 74, said the noise of the surging flood woke her up and gave her enough time to get to higher ground. Her house was unscathed, but several neighbors' homes were heavily damaged and many people fled with some of their belongings."Around here, there's nobody. Everybody left," she said.Colombian officials pledged aid to rebuild homes, and the attorney general launched an investigation into whether local and national authorities responded adequately to the disaster. Santos also said they would launch a health and vaccination campaign in the city to prevent an outbreak of disease."Mocoa needs to rise up from this blow," he said. "And it will."

Germany dismisses 'Islam law' as integration debate resurfaces-[Reuters]-By Paul Carrel-YAHOONEWS-April 3, 2017

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany has no plans to introduce an 'Islam law' codifying the rights and obligations of Muslims, a government spokesman said on Monday, dismissing an idea floated by allies of Chancellor Angela Merkel ahead of federal elections in September.Merkel, who will seek a fourth term in what is expected to be a close-fought ballot, has come under fire for opening Germany's doors to refugees, more than one million of whom - mostly Muslims - have entered the country over the past two years.Seeking to boost support for the chancellor's conservatives, senior Merkel ally Julia Kloeckner stoked the integration debate at the weekend by calling for stricter rules for Islamic preachers and a ban on foreign funding of mosques.Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert dismissed the idea, which Kloeckner - who is deputy leader of the chancellor's Christian Democrats (CDU) - and other senior party members want to enshrine in an Islam law."Such a law is now not an issue for government business," Seibert told a news conference, stressing the high regard Merkel's ruling coalition has for religious freedom in Germany.While stopping short of calling for an Islam law, Merkel said in her weekly podcast on Saturday that refugees in Germany must respect tolerance, openness and freedom of religion.The message backed up a less compromising tone on integrating migrants that Merkel set at a CDU party conference in December, when she called for a ban on full-face Muslim veils "wherever legally possible".By talking tougher on integration, Merkel is also seeking to reclaim support her party lost last year over her refugee policy to the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which punished the CDU in regional elections in 2016.The AfD has lost voter support this year, hurt by infighting that has sent its ratings down to around 8 percent from a high of 15.5 percent at the end of 2016.In the Netherlands, Prime Minister Mark Rutte used a similar tactic to win re-election this year, seizing back the initiative from anti-Islam populist rivals by matching some of their tough rhetoric on immigration.He told the country's half-million ethnic Turks that they should integrate and accept Dutch views on freedom of speech or "get lost" after some had been filmed behaving aggressively toward a reporter during a demonstration."Our norms and values are all or nothing: you can't pick and choose," he said in response to the footage in an interview last September.(Additional reporting by Thomas Escritt in Amsterdam; editing by John Stonestreet)

Erdogan says Turks in Europe should defy 'grandchildren of Nazism'-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-April 3, 2017

ANKARA (Reuters) - President Tayyip Erdogan on Monday called on Turkish voters in Europe to defy the "grandchildren of Nazism" and back a referendum this month on changing the constitution, comments likely to cause further ire in Europe.Erdogan has repeatedly lashed out at European countries, including Germany and the Netherlands, in campaigning for the referendum, accusing them of "Nazi-like" tactics for banning his ministers from speaking to rallies of Turkish voters abroad.Both the Germans and Dutch have been incensed by the comparisons to Nazism and German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said the references must stop."With this determination, we will never allow three or four European fascists ... from harming this country's honor and pride," Erdogan told a packed crowd of flag-waving supporters in the Black Sea city of Rize, where his family comes from."I call on my brothers and sisters voting in Europe...give the appropriate answer to those imposing this fascist oppression and the grandchildren of Nazism."Erdogan is counting on the support of expatriates in Europe, including the 1.4 million Turks eligible to vote in Germany, to pass constitutional changes that would give him sweeping presidential powers.But ties with Europe have deteriorated in the run-up to the campaign. Erdogan last month said Turkey would reevaluate its relationship with the bloc, and may even hold a second referendum on whether to continue accession talks.On Monday, he said he could take the issue of whether Turkey should restore the death penalty to referendum if necessary."The European Union will not like this. But I don't care what Hans, George or Helga say, I care what Hasan, Ahmet, Mehmet, Ayse and Fatma say. I care what God says... If necessary, we will take this issue to another referendum as well," he told the rally.Turkey abandoned capital punishment more than a decade ago as part of its bid to join the European Union, but Erdogan has repeatedly told crowds calling for it following the July 15 failed coup that he would approve its restoration if parliament passed it.Restoring capital punishment would all but end Turkey's bid to join the EU, officials from the bloc have said.(Reporting by Ece Toksabay and Tuvan Gumrukcu; Writing by David Dolan; Editing by Humeyra Pamuk)

UN urges more support for states hosting Syria refugees-[AFP]-YAHOONEWS-April 3, 2017

Beirut (AFP) - Syrian refugees are increasingly desperate after years in exile and face rising social tensions in overstretched regional host nations, a UN representative warned Monday, urging more funds and resettlement."The refugee situation is not one country's problem, it's everyone's problem, and everyone has to respond together," said Mireille Girard, UN refugee agency UNHCR's representative in Lebanon.A conference in Brussels this week will seek to secure new funding and resettlement pledges from the international community, with Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri expected to request upwards of $10 billion over five to seven years.More than one million Syrians have taken refuge in Lebanon since their country's conflict began in March 2011, equal to a quarter of the tiny nation's native population.The influx has strained Lebanon's limited resources and infrastructure, and caused resentment in some quarters."What we see at the moment is more tension between communities, we see demonstrations by some communities between the others," Girard said, echoing warnings from Hariri last week."We see some xenophobia mounting a bit, though... it's actually much less than in Europe," she added.Among the refugee population, she said, there was increasing desperation, with many dependent on shrinking assistance and unable to support themselves."The levels of vulnerability of people have increased tremendously over the last two years," she told AFP."If they don't pay bills, they don't pay their rent, they accumulate debt -- this is a cause of social tension."Girard said much of the Brussels conference's focus would be on funds for infrastructure, describing it as a way to create jobs, improve services and benefit host communities.Hariri last week warned that Lebanon was at "breaking point" and "facing a crisis" over the number of Syrian refugees."I fear civil unrest," he said, adding that he would ask the Brussels conference for funds to improve schools, roads and security in Lebanon.The Beirut government says the true number of Syrian refugees in the country is closer to 1.5 million rather than the official one million registered with the UN.The UN stopped registering refugee figures in Lebanon in 2015, at the government's request.

Interview-Khodorkovsky: Putin's betting on Le Pen By Andrew Rettman-APR 3,17-EUOBSERVER

LONDON, Today, 12:03-Russia will try to help Marine Le Pen win the French election the same way that it helped Donald Trump in the US, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, a prominent Kremlin critic, has said."After the US, [Russian leader] Putin has decided to bet on another candidate", Khodorkovsky told EUobserver in London last Thursday (30 March)."Putin saw how you can play with elections in the US, what he did there, and he decided to make another bet, basically to participate in the next elections [in France]", he said.He said that for the Kremlin, a Le Pen victory "would mean a realistic chance to destroy the European Union".He also underlined that Putin looked at Europe in military terms.He said Putin viewed Nato as more of an enemy than the EU because the EU was "considered to be weak, something you can practically ignore".But he said that if France left the EU, as Le Pen wants it to, the EU's authority would diminish further."This would mean that the EU had no nuclear weapons left … which would allow the Kremlin to conduct its foreign policy more freely," he said."The question of whether Nato can be taken out of Europe, and the EU taken out of Europe - that’s what Putin’s working on".-Election tricks-Khodorkovsky used to own Russia’s largest oil firm, Yukos, but Putin seized it from him and jailed him for 10 years when he tried to enter politics.He is now based in London, where he runs Open Russia, a pro-reform and anti-Putin political movement.His warning comes amid revelations that Putin helped Trump, a Russia-friendly candidate, to win last year’s US vote.Russia’s tricks are said to have included hacking emails, spreading fake news on social media, and stealing Facebook data on US voters so that Trump could micro-target them with campaign messages.According to polls, Le Pen is expected to win the first round of the presidential election on 23 April.Germany is also heading into elections in autumn, where a strong result by the far right could damage chancellor Angela Merkel, a Russia hawk.Asked if Russia would do in Europe what it did in the US, Khodorkovsky said: "I’m convinced that this is the plan for Germany and we [Open Russia] know that preparations are being made for that, steps are being taken to employ those tricks".He declined to say more on his knowledge of the "preparations".He said Open Russia had not conducted an investigation in France, but he said the fact that Putin recently met Le Pen in Moscow meant that "he considers the opportunity for himself in France to be quite high".Richard Burr, the head of the Senate intelligence committee, which is looking into the US election affair, said the same on Friday (31 March)."What we might assess was a very covert effort in 2016 in the United States, is a very overt effort, as well as covert, in Germany and France", he told reporters in Washington."The Russians are actively involved in the French elections", he added.-Red carpet-With Putin himself facing elections in 2018, Khodorkovsky said the West should try to delegitimise his authority."The less respect the West shows towards Russian power, while showing respect to Russia and the Russian people, the more it helps in our [Open Russia’s] work", he said.He said that if Germany "rolled out the red carpet" for Putin, or if he was shown on TV whispering into Trump’s ear "that kind of image strengthens his power".The French and German business lobbies are among Putin’s biggest friends in Europe, but Khodorkovsky said foreign investors should beware of Russia.He said if Putin personally gave you his word that he would protect your investment, then he would keep it. "In business, when he says something, he means it, not in politics - that’s an important difference", Khodorkovsky said.But your firm would still have to pay bribes and would risk its reputation. "You still pay bribes. If someone says they don’t pay, that’s a lie", he said.He said another way to protect your business was to ensure that your debts to Russian banks were larger than the value of your capital and assets in Russia."You’re safe if you don’t have money in Russia, only debt. That’s the reality," he said.-Putin’s grip-Khodorkovsky said last month’s anti-corruption protests in Russia, showed "most Russian people don’t want any trouble in Europe" and that Russian society was "awakening from its apathy".He voiced surprise at how many Russians, including older people, were registering to join Open Russia as activists.He said if Putin managed to get no more than 40 million out of the 105 million Russian votes available in 2018, it would weaken his grip on power."His circle would start rethinking its support," Khodorkovsky said."I’m not talking about a palace coup … but it’d make it harder to manage the people who serve him and that’s already important," he said."If police don’t try very hard to control protesters - that’s important".

EU rounds wagons in Gibraltar dispute By Andrew Rettman-APR 3,17-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, Today, 18:14-The European Commission has put its “full support” behind giving Spain a veto on the economic future of Gibraltar.Commission spokesman Margiritis Schinas said on Monday (3 April) that veto, as proposed by the European Council last week, had “the full backing of the European Commission, of president Juncker and of Michel Barnier, let there be no doubt about that”.He said the Commission president and Barnier, its Brexit negotiator, had “worked closely” on the EU guidelines for Brexit that included the veto.“We’re very happy to reaffirm our support”, he said.The EU foreign service chief, Federica Mogherini, declined to get involved, saying Brexit wold not be a foreign policy issue until the UK left the bloc.The spectacle of the EU institutions and the 27 remaining member states taking a common line against an outgoing member is a first in EU history.It has also seen some British politicians lose their temper, with Spain, also on Monday, urging a more civil approach."The Spanish government is a little surprised by the tone of comments coming out of Britain, a country known for its composure”, Spanish foreign minister Alfonso Dastis said at a conference in Madrid.He spoke after Michael Howard, a former head of Britain’s ruling Conservative Party, said on Sunday the UK would go to war with Spain if it threatened Gibraltar’s sovereignty.British prime minister Theresa May made light of his remarks on Monday.She told reporters on a flight to Jordan that the issue would be solved via dialogue, including with Spain, and not through confrontation. “It’s definitely jaw-jaw,” she said, according to The Guardian, a British newspaper.Boris Johnson, the British foreign minister, was less joky at an EU meeting in Luxembourg on Monday. “The sovereignty of Gibraltar is unchanged and is not going to change," he said.May’s spokesman the same day in London declined to criticise Howard and said the former Tory chief had merely tried to show Britain’s “resolve” on the matter.Fabian Picardo, the Gibraltar chief minister, also tried to keep tension high.He called EU Council chief Donald Tusk, who signed the EU guidelines “a cuckolded husband who is taking it out on the children” in an interview with Reuters.“This is clear Spanish bullying … quite pernicious”, he said.
