  4. Washington (CNN): President Donald Trump escalated his efforts to cast doubt on the integrity of the voting process, outright encouraging supporters to vote twice in a test of election security - which would be illegal. In his latest assault on mail-in balloting, Trump on Wednesday suggested North Carolinians should try to vote in-person even after casting mail-in ballots. Election authorities responded Thursday by pointing out that trying to vote more than once breaches state law and that it is a felony for a voter to intend to commit fraud by casting more than one ballot. "It is illegal to vote twice in an election," Karen Brinson Bell, executive director of the North Carolina State Board of Elections, said in a message to voters. "Attempting to vote twice in an election or soliciting someone to do so is also a violation of North Carolina law." Trump's North Carolina furor was just one recent example of the administration apparently seeking to tilt the electoral playing field. Previously, it emerged that his Department of Homeland Security withheld an intelligence bulletin warning of a Russian plot to spread misinformation about Joe Biden's health, which mirrored the President's own attacks. The report, first revealed by ABC News, followed the Director of National Intelligence's decision to stop in-person lawmaker briefings about election interference - a move Democrats say could shield foreign actors who want to help Trump. If the story of the 2016 election was a broad meddling operation by a foreign power to favor Trump, the emerging story of the 2020 election increasingly appears to be an attempt by the President to use executive power to swing the election his way. There has never been a modern American election in which a President has so publicly and unashamedly tried to portray the sacred quadrennial exercise in democracy as corrupt. Trump's attempt to discredit mail-in voting got a strong assist from Attorney General William Barr, who declared that changing to such a system would be "reckless and dangerous," in an interview with CNN on Wednesday. "This is playing with fire. We're a very closely divided country here," Barr told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on "The Situation Room." Asked for evidence to defend his claim that foreign adversaries could dump large numbers of fraudulent mail-in ballots into the system, Barr told Blitzer: "Logic." US intelligence officials have said there is no evidence to suggest that the election could be threatened in such a manner. Barr also claimed that China, not Russia, was the most active foreign foe in interfering in the election. Last month, intelligence officials said that while Beijing wanted Trump to lose, Russia was making a far more aggressive attempt to hurt Biden. Barr's comments will stir fresh concerns that he is acting as a political functionary for Trump rather than in the traditionally more neutral role expected of an attorney general. Such suspicions were provoked by the way he intervened to ease the political sting of the Mueller report and the probes he has set up apparently to discredit previous investigations into 2016 election interference. An election that is already tainted The President's effort to discredit the election is not limited to his false and frequent claims that mail-in voting - a reassuring option for many voters amid a pandemic that has killed more than 185,000 Americans so far - is stained by massive fraud. The President has warned that the election will be the most corrupt in US history and said, without evidence, that Americans may never know who won. He also threatened to send US attorneys and sheriffs to polling places to ensure there is no fraud, a tactic that would be construed as voter intimidation, especially among minority voters given grim historic echoes. Trump has no reservations about using the authority of the presidency to mess with democracy. After all, he was impeached for an audacious attempt to coerce a foreign power - Ukraine - into intervening in the election to hurt Biden's campaign. And he has consistently rejected his own intelligence agencies' assessments that Russia meddled in the 2016 election to help him - once, infamously at the side of President Vladimir Putin.

  9. (CNN) : It's been almost five months since Shelby Hedgecock tested positive for Covid-19, and the former personal trainer said her symptoms are still debilitating. Hedgecock is among patients who call themselves "long-haul survivors" - those who experience symptoms long after testing positive. And long-term effects like theirs need to be taken seriously, a doctor researching these symptoms told CNN on Monday night. "This is the conversation that needs to be had in the medical and the research community, not just in the sufferers who are actually dealing with it," Dr. William Li said. Covid-19 can be a prolonged illness, even among young adults without underlying chronic medical conditions, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in July. Thirty-five percent of patients surveyed by the agency said they still weren't back to their usual good health even two to three weeks after testing positive for the disease. The rest said they'd returned to their usual state of health five to 12 days after a positive test. Hedgecock first tested positive in April. And though she tested negative in May, she is still having neurological issues, cognitive issues, shortness of breath, chest pain, loss of smell and body aches and pains that send her to her bed for days if she participates in even gentle yoga, she told CNN. Hedgecock's experience is not unique, Li said. His team is looking to connect the symptoms, with data pointing to the virus not just affecting the lungs but the blood vessels that connect the whole body, the doctor said. "We think that this long-term damage may in part be due to vascular damage, kind of a footprint that the virus leaves even when it's gone from the body," Li said. With still so much medical professionals don't know about the virus and its impacts on the body, they can't say how or if patients like Hedgecock will recover completely. "I think what is really humbling to those of us in medical research and clinical care is when we confront something we just don't know enough about," Li said. "But we need to take it seriously, and we need to have the humility to recognize that we were just starting to observe and collect the data right now." The not knowing is terrifying, Hedgecock said, but she is confident long-haul coronavirus is going to leave a mark on the US. "This is going to be a public health debacle that is going to last for decades to come," she said.

  12. New Delhi (CNN) : India is entering a new phase of reopening that will see subway trains running for the first time in months, despite skyrocketing daily coronavirus infections that are showing no sign of slowing down. The country of 1.3 billion people has reported more than 75,000 infections for five consecutive days -- the fastest growing caseload of any country in the world. It recorded 85,687 new Covid-19 infections last Wednesday, the world's highest single-day spike since the pandemic began, surpassing the previous record of 77,255 cases set by the United States on July 16. India's infection rate has increased exponentially in recent weeks. It took almost six months for the country to record 1 million cases, another three weeks to hit 2 million, and only 16 more days to hit 3 million. At this rate, India's total number of cases, now at over 3.6 million, is on track to outnumber that of Brazil to become the second highest in the world, behind the US. But India's death toll remains relatively row compared to its infection numbers. As of Sunday, India reported 64,469 coronavirus deaths -- about half of Brazil's death toll -- with a mortality rate of 1.79%, according to its Health Ministry. As infections soar, the Indian government has continued to lift lockdown measures. On Saturday, the Ministry of Home Affairs announced India will enter a new phase of reopening on September 1 known as "unlock 4." That includes the resumption of the country's metro rail services in a "graded manner" from September 7, according to the ministry's statement. Under the new rules, gatherings of up to 100 people will be permitted at sports, entertainment, cultural, religious and political events outside of hot-spot areas from September 21, with mandatory face-mask wearing and social distancing measures. Schools and colleges will remain closed until the end of September, although up to 50% of the teaching staff will be allowed to return to campus to teach online courses, and students from Year 9 to 12 can also return on a voluntary basis. Easing lockdown measures A lifeline for millions of people living in the country's major cities, the metro rail networks were shut down in late March when Prime Minister Narendra Modi ordered a "complete" lockdown that required residents to stay home and brought the country to a standstill. But the strict lockdown - imposed with little warning or planning - also exacerbated India's inequality and economic woes. In urban areas, millions of daily wage earners were left without jobs or food - and many made lengthy and sometimes fatal trips home to far away states, often on foot. Under pressure to resuscitate the battered economy, Modi's government started to roll back nationwide lockdown measures in May. "Corona will remain part of our lives for a long time, but we cannot allow our lives to be confined only around corona," Modi said in a national televised address at the time. Since then, nationwide restrictions have been eased progressively, although some hard-hit parts of the country have enforced their own restrictions. But the number of infections has soared, from just over 180,000 cases on May 30 to hit a million by mid-July. Skyrocketing cases After initially appearing to have curbed the spread of the virus, India, the world's second most populous nation, has struggled to cope with the fast-expanding outbreak. Across the country, critically ill virus patients have been turned away from public and private hospitals for lack of beds, staff and equipment. Earlier this month, a state minister died of the virus while two Indian cabinet ministers checked into hospital after testing positive. More than half of Mumbai's slum residents might have had Covid-19. Here's why herd immunity could still be a long way off More than half of Mumbai's slum residents might have had Covid-19. Here's why herd immunity could still be a long way off The Indian health authorities have said that part of the reason for the soaring cases is an increase in testing. As of Saturday, the country has tested more than 41.4 million people, almost doubling the amount of tests conducted by early August. Yet some experts believe cases are still being underreported. Last month, antibody tests on more than 21,000 people in New Delhi found that nearly one in four residents may have been infected with coronavirus. So far, more than 2.7 million people have recovered from the virus in India, according to government statistics. Patients with mild and moderate symptoms in India are considered no longer active after 10 days of symptom onset if they meet certain conditions. A test to confirm that they no longer have the virus is not required. Severe cases can only be discharged after one negative coronavirus test. Modi has pointed to the country's widespread testing, high recovery rate and low death rates to highlight its success in handling the coronavirus. But others argue the pandemic has revealed the country's shortcomings in providing widespread accessible basic needs like health care, education, and electricity.

  15. At first, the front line of the European fight against the COVID-19 pandemic was fought in hospitals by overloaded health workers. Now that the countries of Europe seek to avoid the much dreaded second wave, that line has moved to the streets and is served by police forces. In the last week, several European countries registered record rates of infection. Since the spring, countries like France, Germany, Italy and Spain had not seen such a large increase in the number of new cases. Countries like Greece and Croatia, which largely did not see the first wave, saw rapid increases in August as tourists, taking advantage of the reopening of Europe's internal borders in June, headed to the beach for their summer holidays. With authorities determined to avoid a second wave of lockdowns, legislation has been introduced to try to stop the spread of the virus. Nightclubs in Italy and Greece were closed, curfews were enacted in Spain, Italy and Greece, and masks have been made mandatory in an increasing number of public outdoor spaces in most EU countries. : a gradual tightening of regulations that will now have to be in force. The fight against covid-19 has become, in recent weeks in Europe, a matter of public order. Until recently, many of the regulations applied to indoor businesses and were enforced by owners, or to public transportation, where they were enforced by the drivers themselves. Across Europe, there were reports of difficulties in enforcing the rules of masks, from passengers who refused to use them had to disembark from the 'vaporettos', the small boats that transport tourists through the canals of Venice, to the tragic death in France of a bus driver in July, who died after being attacked by passengers who had been asked to put on masks. Now that the obligations on the use of masks extend into the open air and that their forces are shifted to the police, there is a sense of relief on the part of many of those who had previously been in charge. "We were on the front line," says Damien Cospanza, a bus driver in Marseille, southern France, where the wearing of masks became mandatory throughout the city on Tuesday. “Unfortunately, people must be afraid. They must be fined so they understand that it is mandatory, especially in a city like Marseille. People don't listen much to a driver, but they do listen to the police. But if the burden has shifted from drivers and merchants to the police, there is now a question of long-term overload, as regulations tighten and the number of cases continues to grow. The police spread out on many fronts: On Thursday, the French prime minister announced that masks, already mandatory in some parts of Paris, would be mandatory throughout the city. "It is not enough to create new laws, they must also be respected," said Jean Castex. Since August 17, he said, 30,000 police checks have been carried out on businesses, 1,900 fines have been imposed and 53 establishments have been closed. In Marseille, a tourist center where the obligation to wear an outdoor mask was extended to the entire city on Tuesday, a special team of national police officers was dispatched to help local forces enforce the new rules.

  17. Mate, What the problem tells you is that your PC does not support the graphic quality you are using, that is, OpenGL, so it changes to the other quality (which is worse), Software Mode, but the fact that it does not allow you to play with that quality and no other game means that you have a problem with the video driver, whether it is outdated or you need to install it. Assuming that it is only the driver and that it is not the video card, you will have to download it, simply put in google the brand and model of your video card and the manufacturer's page will appear, in order to download it (es the first page normally), you install it and you should be able to play in peace. Bro change your compatibility to windows xp and run as administrator, install the drivers well <- is this doesnt work try with other point Remember to check your video card and compatibility. if you already had data downloaded from before : then It seems to me that you already have data installed on the computer that you don't uninstall when you uninstall the game, and also the place where you download it from is not good. Do the following (I would do this for you): Download the game from this link (it has no virus, it was downloaded from there more than 7 million times): http: //www.clanco.com.ar/counterstrike/download/1 / ... In the installation options you will see 3 options with an unknown letter, put the one in the middle. And do not install the game in the Valve folder, because there are the things that you cannot uninstall, try installing the game in a new folder called valve2 for example. It is understood? If this dont work try this: all you have to do is click the "run in window" option at the video options screen. then change to d3d or whatever you want. then uncheck the runinwindow box. Remember check ur video card and compatibility !! is important.

  20. (CNN): President Donald Trump and his rival Joe Biden presented two alternate realities of the state of America at their conventions over the past two weeks -- and the President's ability to persuade wavering moderates and independents will hinge on his ability to stay on message. But the restraint that Trump showed on Thursday night in an unusually muted speech accepting the renomination of his party had vanished by the time he touched down in Londonderry, New Hampshire, Friday night where he told supporters — who were not socially distanced and booed when the public address announcers asked them to wear masks — that he felt free to "wing it." After charging that Biden is "weak as hell" and an enabler of "rioters" and "anarchists," Trump suggested that protesters in Washington, DC, who surrounded and harassed Sen. Rand Paul as he left the White House on Thursday night would have killed him if police had not intervened, and then launched a baseless new attack on Kamala Harris at a time when he's facing a historical deficit with women. "Joe Biden is coming out of the basement, because the poll numbers have totally swung -- they've totally swung," Trump said, mocking Biden's announcement Thursday that he would be resuming campaign events after Labor Day. "Sleepy Joe is coming out. ... Ten days! That's like an eternity in Trumpville." He told the crowd he'd like to see the first woman president, "but I don't want to see a woman president get in to that position the way she'd do it" and "she's not competent," he said, suggesting his daughter instead: "They're all saying, 'We want Ivanka.' I don't blame you." "We're going to win," Trump told the crowd outside an airplane hangar. "Does anybody have any doubt?" But there is. In fact, doubt remains about whether American voters will buy what the President and Republicans tried to sell at their convention this week — a whitewashed version of Trump's slow and inadequate response to a pandemic that has killed more than 180,000 people and infected more than 5.9 million, and Trump's ludicrous claim that he has done more for Black Americans than any president since Abraham Lincoln. During the Democratic National Convention a week earlier, Biden and Democrats asked American voters to take a harder look at the toll of the nation's three coinciding crises: from the United States' unenviable position as the leader in coronavirus cases around the globe; to the more than 22 million jobs lost during the subsequent economic shutdown; to the chaos and divisiveness of Trump's presidency, which has unfolded in the midst of a national reckoning over systematic racism and police brutality. Biden promised to lead voters out of the current moment of darkness back into the light and to a sense of normalcy, while accusing Trump of creating a climate of fear and shirking the responsibilities of his office while stoking hate and division. In his convention speech, he said Trump had failed in his "most basic duty" to the nation: "He has failed to protect us." Biden has held a double digit lead over Trump throughout the summer as the President's poor approval ratings on the coronavirus and race relations created a strong drag on his numbers. But there are signs that the race is tightening and that the economy is recovering at a faster clip than economists initially expect. As Trump routinely points out, retail sales recently hit a record high and the stock market has also been surging. With scientists and epidemiologists still advising Americans to avoid crowds in order to limit infection -- warnings that Trump mocked at his event Friday night -- the former vice president has not been running a particularly vigorous campaign in terms of in-person interactions, relying instead on social media, advertising and virtual events to connect with voters. Though Biden plans to step up his events in battleground states, some Democrats are worried that he could lose his edge as Trump touches off a robust schedule of campaigning to remind Americans that the economy was roaring before the pandemic hit, while rewriting history on his response to the virus. In Londonderry Friday night, he suggested that China might have unleashed the virus on purpose. He also said that his administration "saved millions of lives" by banning foreign nationals from China from entering the United States in January and shutting down the economy for several weeks. "We could have had 2 million," he said, presumably referring to lives lost. "We did everything right." The economy under his administration is now "setting records" in terms of an economic comeback, Trump said, and he went on to twist Biden's recent statement in an ABC interview, where the former vice president said he would shut down the economy if there was a second wave of the coronavirus and scientists recommended the move. "Biden wants to do a blanket shutdown," Trump claimed, adding that such a move would lead to suicides, alcoholism and other afflictions. He said the United States would have a great year next year "unless somebody stupid gets elected and raises your taxes." Trump tries to do damage control on race The emphasis on appealing to Black voters during the convention this week was an acknowledgment from Republicans both that the party sees a real opportunity for Trump among Black male voters, and also that Trump needs to do some image repairing after his race-baiting rhetoric. Throughout much of the summer as Americans protested police brutality and the death of George Floyd, Trump offered no semblance of leadership other than an executive order aimed at addressing police misconduct, and inflamed the debate by portraying the mostly peaceful protests as riots in the streets. After several months, clear majorities of voters said he was making racial tensions worse in this country. This week he has tried to soften that image by highlighting his efforts on criminal justice reform. On Friday, he announced the pardon of Alice Marie Johnson, who was one of his most effective speakers at the convention this week, after commuting her prison sentence two years ago. Johnson, who had already served 21 years of a life sentence after being convicted on charges of conspiracy to possess cocaine and attempted possession of cocaine, has spoken movingly about the power of redemption. But he then swerved back into his "law and order" message at the New Hampshire rally, condemning the "thugs" who harassed guests leaving the White House after his acceptance speech on the South Lawn. Pushing his theme that mayors of Democrat-led cities are allowing crime and violence to run rampant, he inexplicably blamed Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser for the incident: "The DC police are good. ... The mayor should be ashamed of herself with that kind of display of incompetence. " He called protesters "bad people" and "trouble makers" before claiming that Paul, a Republican senator from Kentucky, and his wife would have been beaten up or killed if the police had not escorted them away from the crowd. For the first time on Friday night, Trump weighed in on the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man who was shot seven times in the back Sunday by a White police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Trump said he was looking into the matter "very strongly." "I'll be getting reports and I'll certainly let you know pretty soon," Trump told WMUR in New Hampshire. "It was not a good sight. I didn't like the sight of it, certainly, and I think most people would agree with that." The Department of Justice has launched a civil rights probe into Blake's shooting. White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said the probe came at Trump's urging. Trump, however, was silent about the actions of a 17-year-old vigilante, who shot a TikTok video from one of his rallies earlier this year and has been charged with killing two protesters in Wisconsin during a protest against the Blake shooting. The suspect in the case is claiming self-defense.

  22. Tokyo (CNN): Shinzo Abe, the longest-serving Japanese prime minister in history, has resigned, citing health reasons. "Even though there is one year to go in my tenure and there are challenges to be met, I have decided to stand down as prime minister," said Abe at a press conference in Tokyo on Friday, adding that he would like to apologize to the people of Japan for being unable to fulfill his duties during the coronavirus pandemic. Abe suffers from colitis, a non-curable inflammatory bowel disease, which was also a factor in his sudden resignation as prime minister in 2007, ending his first term after just over a year in office. On Monday morning, Abe visited Keio University Hospital in Tokyo for what was his second hospital visit in a week. "For almost eight years I controlled my chronic disease, however, this year in June I had a regular check-up and there was a sign of the disease," he added. "I made a judgment that I should not continue my job as prime minister" said Abe. "I need to fight the disease and need to be treated." Markets reacted negatively to the announcement. Japan's benchmark Nikkei index closed down 1.4% Friday after the news broke. It initially tumbled more than 2% before paring losses. The Japanese yen, a traditional safe currency haven, rose 0.3% against the US dollar. Following his previous resignation in 2007, Abe was reelected in 2012. Since then he has been the dominant force in Japanese politics, winning a landslide third term in 2017 and a fourth in 2019, despite multiple scandals and plummeting po[CENSORED]rity. People watch Abe's press conference in Tokyo on Friday. Under Abe, his right-leaning Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has also seen major success, benefiting from the fracturing of its long-term rival Democratic Party, which split in two in 2017. Abe leaves the LDP in control of both houses of parliament, with a large majority in the lower House of Representatives. That success should guarantee an LDP successor to Abe. Japan is not a presidential system, instead the country's leader is chosen by parliamentarians, so the next LDP leader, whoever that is, should have an easy path to becoming prime minister. Abe said he will remain in office until a successor is chosen. Abenomics When Abe was elected to a second term in 2012, Japan was in the economic doldrums following decades of stagnation. He soon launched a grand experiment po[CENSORED]rly known as "Abenomics," which included three so-called arrows -- massive monetary stimulus, increased government spending, and structural reforms -- that his allies credited for reviving the country's economy and boosting consumer and investor confidence. "Japan is no longer the Japan of the past," Abe said in January 2020. "We have succeeded in completely breaking through the 'wall of resignation'." But any success of Abenomics was largely in avoiding continued decline than prompting a major boom, and the world's third-largest economy remained vulnerable throughout his time in office. Japan tipped deeper into recession as the coronavirus hit this year. A major factor that has dogged Abe during his time in office was the country's rapidly aging po[CENSORED]tion. More than a third of the Japanese po[CENSORED]tion is over 65, and the country marked a new record low birth rate in 2019. The country's demographic decline means a shrinking cohort of workers is left supporting an increasingly elderly po[CENSORED]tion in need of healthcare and pensions. Despite this, Abe's Japan largely avoided relaxing the country's tight controls on immigration, which could have boosted the workforce. Plans to restore the country's fiscal health have not addressed the fact Japan's debt-to-GDP ratio remains the highest among industrialized nations. Abe touted the need for workstyle reforms, calling women the country's "most underutilized resource" and vowing to improve gender representation and closing gaps in the workforce with "womenomics." Critics say Abe did not manage to address the country's gender gap or resolve issues that prevent women from greater participation in the economy.
  23. EU trade commissioner Phil Hogan, a key figure in Brexit talks and one of the bloc's most senior officials, resigned on Wednesday, after a week of pressure over a breach of coronavirus guidelines. Hogan, 60, tendered his resignation to European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen as the row rumbled on, and strong indications from the Irish government he should fall on his sword. "It was becoming increasingly clear that the controversy concerning my recent visit to Ireland was becoming a distraction from my work as an EU Commissioner and would undermine my work in the key months ahead," he said in a statement. His departure leaves von der Leyen in a dilemma, with Brexit talks with Britain deadlocked and a December deadline looming, and no guarantee for Ireland it will retain the powerful position. The Irish national refused to speculate on his successor but told state broadcaster RTE the EU would "look after the interests of Ireland" in the negotiations. There has been apprehension in Ireland at the prospect of losing a commissioner regarded as a powerful advocate for the Republic's trade interests, which threaten to be disrupted if talks fail. Von der Leyen, who had demanded he submit a detailed report of his movements after the row erupted, said she respected his decision, thanking him for his "tireless work". - Breached guidelines - Irish prime minister Micheal Martin and his coalition partners said Hogan's resignation was "the correct course of action given the circumstances of the past week". "We all have a responsibility to support and adhere to public health guidelines and regulations," they added, saying Hogan's replacement would be considered "in due course". Martin's administration had said Tuesday that Hogan flouted a trio of coronavirus guidelines during a recent trip home from Brussels. It said Hogan, propelled to trade commissioner in 2019 as the EU was in the throes of trade battles with the United States and tensions with China, broke a 14-day quarantine after arriving in Ireland and failed to limit his travel in a county in the midst of a localised lockdown. He also attended a parliamentary golf club dinner on August 19, in breach of coronavirus restrictions on social gathering numbers announced just 24 hours earlier in a bid to curb a surge in cases. The sporting evening was attended by around 80 diners -- including a cabinet minister, a supreme court judge and lawmakers from Ireland's upper and lower houses of parliament. It is now being investigated by police and has prompted a series of high-level resignations in Irish politics, including agriculture minister Dara Calleary and deputy chair of the upper house of parliament Jerry Buttimer. - Slow to apologise - Hogan has always denied breaking coronavirus legislation and said he tried to act in line with voluntary government guidelines. But earlier on Wednesday Martin said the government felt anger and annoyance at "the degree to which the commissioner has undermined public confidence in adherence to the health guidelines". "We're very clear on all three fronts he breached the guidelines," he told reporters in Dublin. Hogan originally declined to apologise for attending the golfing event but a steady drip of revelations about his movements in the last week stoked public anger. The scandal was compounded after it was revealed that he was pulled over by an Irish police officer for using his phone while driving. Hogan previously claimed he was free to travel across Ireland rather than observing quarantine because he had received a negative coronavirus test. On Tuesday he gave an interview to RTE seeming to contradict government health guidance, which asks arrivals in the country to quarantine unconditionally to account for the incubation period of the virus. "I don't accept that -- I did everything possible to ensure that I was no risk to anybody," Hogan told RTE. "My medical people said I was free to go."
