FAA shutdown: Obama urges Congress to settle latest row

President Barack Obama has again urged Congress to end a funding row that has partially shut down the body which oversees US air safety. He said it was a "lose-lose situation" that could cost the government $1bn (£610m) in uncollected air fare taxes. Many lawmakers left for summer breaks after the US debt crisis was resolved, without extending the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) budget. About 70,000 construction workers on airport projects have had to stop work. Safety inspectors are now being asked to work without pay. Air traffic control is not affected. 'Get this done' Nearly 4,000 FAA employees, including engineering technicians and computer specialists, have been forced to take a temporary leave of absence. Continue reading the main story " Start Quote This is why people shake their heads when they think about Congress" Ray LaHood US Transportation Secretary The FAA was forced into partial shutdown after its operating authority expired on 23 July. The government has already lost more than $200m because airlines are unable to collect taxes on ticket sales. Lawmakers are not due back from their annual leave until September. President Obama said on Wednesday: "This is a lose-lose-lose situation that can be easily solved if Congress gets back into town and does its job." When asked what he could do to step in, Mr Obama told reporters: "I have made calls to key leaders, and I am urging them to get this done." A White House official later confirmed that Mr Obama had called House Speaker John Boehner about the issue on Wednesday. Mr Boehner said the problem could be resolved if Senate Democrats would only accept $16.5m in air service subsidy cuts that the House last month attached to a bill to extend FAA's operating authority. 'Conservative hostage takers' Senate Democrats opposed the cuts and went into recess on Tuesday until early September without voting on the bill. Some airlines raised their ticket prices within hours of the 23 July partial shutdown A spokesman for Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said the Senate would not allow House Republicans to "jam through a policy" on subsidies within a stop-gap funding extension bill. He said the real issue was that Republicans wanted to scrap new rules which give airline employees greater trade union rights. The partial shutdown could last at least until congressmen arrive back from their annual break. But Mr Reid said on Wednesday it could be resolved sooner if Republicans agreed to a congressional procedure called unanimous consent that did not require lawmakers to cast votes in person. He also said conservatives were "taking Americans hostage" by not passing the bill which would end the partial shutdown. The FAA debate was overshadowed earlier in the week by last-minute legislation passed in Congress to increase the US debt ceiling and avert a financial default. The shutdown is costing the federal government some $200m per week in passenger ticket taxes that can no longer be collected, officials say. On Wednesday, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, a Republican, also said Congress should come back and pass on a short-term bill resolving the dispute. "This is not fair to people. These are people that work hard, these are people right in the middle of construction season," Mr LaHood said. "This is why people shake their heads when they think about Congress," he added. Airline passengers are not being forced to pay ticket taxes, which average around 10% of each fare, while the political scuffle continues. But within hours of the shutdown on 23 July, many airlines had raised their fares by the amounts equivalent to the taxes that were no longer being collected. Mr LaHood responded to the hikes at a White House news conference in late July, saying airlines should not have their raised fares and that he had contacted major carriers to express his dissatisfaction. The air service subsidy programme costs the federal government about $200m per year, about the amount the government lost during the first week of the FAA partial shutdown.

Mubarak bắt đầu bị đưa ra xét xử

Cựu tổng thống Ai Cập Hosni Mubarak hôm nay được đưa bằng cáng tới phiên toà tại Cairo, nửa năm sau khi ông bị lật đổ do làn sóng nổi dậy của người dân hồi tháng 2 vừa qua. Cựu tổng thống Hosni Mubarak được đưa tới toà bằng xe cáng và đặt trong một chiếc lồng sắt trong phòng xử. Ảnh: AFP. Cựu lãnh đạo kỳ cựu này bị buộc tội tham nhũng và sát hại nhiều người biểu tình, những tội danh khiến ông có thể đối mặt với án tử hình. Hai con trai của Mubarak là Alaa và Gamal cùng cựu bộ trưởng nội vụ Habib al-Adly và 6 quan chức trong chính quyền cũ cũng ra toà với các cáo buộc khác nhau. Ban đầu phiên toà dự tính diễn ra tại Trung tâm Hội nghị Cairo, nhưng sau đó giới chức Ai Cập quyết định lập phòng xử trong Học viện Cảnh sát do lo ngại an ninh. Hơn 3.000 binh sĩ và cảnh sát đã được huy động để bảo đảm an ninh cho phiên toà xử Mubarak tại đây. Khoảng 600 người được trực tiếp tham dự phiên toà. Mubarak, 83 tuổi, được đưa bằng máy bay từ một bệnh viện ở thành phố nghỉ mát bên bờ Biển Đỏ Sharm el-Sheikh tới Cairo. Cựu lãnh đạo này bị tạm giam và nhận sự điều trị của bác sĩ từ tháng 4 vừa qua do bệnh tim. Trước đó ông buộc phải từ chức ngày 11/2, sau 18 ngày người biểu tình tràn ngập thủ đô Cairo. Cáo buộc nặng nhất nhằm vào Mubarak là ra lệnh sát hại người biểu tình. Có khoảng 850 người biểu tình Ai Cập thiệt mạng trong làn sóng nổi dậy. Tuy nhiên rất khó biết chính xác ai đã ra lệnh thực hiện các vụ bắn giết này nên cáo buộc nhằm vào Mubarak có nguy cơ thiếu bằng chứng. Nhiều người biểu tình thiệt mạng do bị bắn không phải từ các sĩ quan an ninh mặc đồng phục, mà do các tay súng ẩn nấp trên nóc các toà nhà. Họ bị bắn chủ yếu vào ban đêm nên càng khó xác định tung tích các hung thủ. Những điều này khiến việc chứng minh trách nhiệm của ông Mubarak trong các vụ bắn giết thêm thách thức. Luật sư của Mubarak khẳng định rằng thân chủ của họ đang ốm rất nặng. Giới quan sát cũng nhận định quân đội Ai Cập không muốn vị cựu tổng thống bị hạ nhục tại toà án. Tuy nhiên, nếu ông Mubarak không bị đưa ra toà thì sự kiện này có thể châm ngòi cho làn sóng biểu tình mới trên đường phố Cairo. Trong những tháng qua, dù chính quyền Mubarak đã bị hạ bệ, các cuộc biểu tình vẫn tiếp diễn tại Cairo do người dân tức giận vì sự chậm trễ trong việc thực thi các thay đổi của đất nước. Một trong những yêu sách của họ là đòi hội đồng quân sự đang điều hành Ai Cập đẩy nhanh quá trình xét xử các quan chức chế độ cũ.

Senate to vote on US debt deal as deadline looms

The US Senate has debated a bill to raise the nation's debt limit, one day after the House of Representatives backed it and hours before a deadline. Monday's vote in the House appears to have averted the prospect of the first full-scale US federal debt default. Members of the 100-seat Senate are preparing to vote at midday (16:00 GMT). If approved it will be signed into law by President Barack Obama. The deal ties a $2.4tn (£1.5tn) debt increase to spending cuts. The Senate vote will take place barely 12 hours before Washington is due - according to the US treasury department - to cease to be able to meet all its bills. Lawmakers in the Senate began discussions about the legislation early on Tuesday. The bill has the backing of Republican and Democratic leaders in the Senate and is thought likely to win the support of the 60 senators it needs to pass. In the House on Monday evening the bill passed by a clear margin of 269 votes to 161. Despite ongoing reservations about how the bill would fare with conservative members of the House, the bill won the backing of 175 Republicans, with 66 voting against. Democrats were more evenly split - 95 for and 95 against. The vote was notable for the reappearance in the House of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords for the first time since she was shot in the head in Tucson, Arizona in January. Ms Giffords - who has undergone a number of operations - caught lawmakers by surprise when she appeared on the floor of the House on Monday evening. There was a standing ovation and embraces for the Democratic representative, who voted in favour of raising the debt ceiling. cong dong sach tu tai lieu tai lieu thu vien luan van sach hay thu vien ebook luan van mau luan van thac si download tai lieu tai tai lieu de thi tai lieu tieng anh

Danang promotes fireworks competition in HCMC

According to the city's tourism promotion center, the annual competition will take place on April 29 and 30 with the participation of five teams comprising Jubilee Fireworks of England, Hanwha of South Korea, Parente Fireworks A&C SNC of Italy, Panda Fireworks of China and a team of Danang City. The Danang tourism sector had organized a similar event in the capital city of Hanoi in the previous week to promote to the event. A ticket to see the performance costs VND200,000, or nearly US$10, and visitors can buy tickets in HCMC, Hanoi and Danang cities. The organizing committee expects to sell over 16,000 tickets for this competition. Last year's fireworks competition in Danang saw the participation of Pyrotecnico - New Castle from Pennsylvania (USA), Luso Pirotecnia Group (Portugal), Jacques Couturier Organisation (France), Tamaya Kitahara (Japan) and Danang (Vietnam). It attracted around 100,000 spectators. Representatives of some hotels located along the Han River in Danang that offer a good view of fireworks display said that their hotels were receiving many bookings from spectators. The central city has reported fast growth in tourism last year with around 1.77 million visitors - including 370,000 internationals - up 33% over 2009, and gaining over VND1.2 trillion in revenue, up 39% year-on-year. The city is speeding up tourism promotion activities along with giving supports to airlines to open international services linking Danang and foreign destinations. The city currently has eight international air routes to Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, and China among others. Visitors from Narita of Japan will travel to the city more easily from the second quarter when Vietnam Airlines launches direct flights between the two cities.
