‘Rolling Shock’ as Job Losses Mount Even With Reopenings
Scattershot reopenings of retail stores, nail salons and restaurants around the country have not halted the flood of layoffs, with the government reporting Thursday that nearly three million people filed unemployment claims last week, bringing the two-month tally to more than 36 million.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/14/business/economy/coronavirus-unemployment-claims.html
Experts warn of a long struggle ahead and a virus that ‘may never go away.’
The Federal Reserve chairman, Jerome H. Powell, said the United States was experiencing an economic hit that could permanently damage the economy. The Labor Department said that nearly 3 million more people filed new unemployment claims last week. And the World Health Organization cautioned that the virus might linger for a long time.
As Unemployment Soars, Lawmakers Push to Cover Workers’ Wages

Outside Egypt, Critics Speak Freely. Inside, Families Pay the Price.
CAIRO — When a popular Egyptian blogger shared gruesome video of a military officer severing the finger of an unidentified body and setting the body on fire, it was some of the most shocking footage to emerge from Sinai, where Egypt’s military has been battling Islamist militants in a hidden war. As an exiled dissident, Abdullah el-Sherif could afford to be bold enough to broadcast the video in March. But days later, security agents burst into the homes of his relatives in the seaside city of Alexandria and arrested his two brothers on terrorism charges.

US-Mexico border factories pressured to stay open despite Covid-19 risk
Mexico’s border states are home to more than 6,000 maquiladoras – largely foreign-owned factories that manufacture products for export – and the plants, which employ hundreds of thousands of people, have been the focus of several coronavirus outbreaks.
But official efforts to keep the factories shut and contain the spread of Covid-19 have come under intense pressure from companies – and US government officials – who have urged the Mexican government to keep maquiladoras running at any cost.
Baja California, the Mexican state with the largest number of maquiladoras, is the now the state with the second-greatest number of Covid-19 deaths.

China hacking poses 'significant threat' to US Covid-19 response, says FBI
“China’s efforts to target these sectors pose a significant threat to our nation’s response to Covid-19,” the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said in a statement. “This announcement is intended to raise awareness for research institutions and the American public and provide resources and guidance for those who may be targeted.”
China has defended its response to the virus, and on Monday foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian denied the government was involved in any attempt to steal virus-related data.
“China is a staunch upholder of cyber security and a victim of cyber attacks,” he said. “We firmly oppose and fight all kinds of cyber attacks conducted by hackers. We are leading the world in Covid-19 treatment and vaccine research. It is immoral to target China with rumours and slanders in the absence of any evidence.”

Comment l’UE se prépare à une éventuelle annexion israélienne en Cisjordanie
Dans un rapport du service diplomatique européen, obtenu par « Le Monde », la difficulté à parvenir à un consensus sur des mesures de rétorsion apparaît au grand jour.
Piotr Smolar
De nombreux membres de l’UE, explique le document, aimeraient que les Palestiniens présentent « une contre-proposition élaborée [au plan Trump] qui pourrait être utilisée dans les discussions diplomatiques ». Des discussions qui relèvent pourtant du vœu pieux, étant interrompues depuis le printemps 2014. De même, le texte mentionne la nécessité d’une politique d’incitations et de mises en garde auprès des deux parties, comme si les lignes n’avaient pas fondamentalement bougé avec l’administration Trump, qui a offert sa caution à toutes les ambitions de la droite messianique israélienne. En 2018, la reconnaissance unilatérale de Jérusalem comme capitale par Washington n’avait pas provoqué l’explosion de violence palestinienne redoutée, confortant ainsi les extrémistes de l’autre bord.

US ambassador accuses Germany of ‘undermining’ NATO on nuclear

Grenell warned that just because the Cold War is over, it does not mean European security is not threatened.

US should make bio-labs more transparent: Global Times editorial
The US, which has one of the world's largest biotechnology industries with extensive research realms, is outside a 1972 Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BWC) protocol, approved by some member-states to the Convention, to increase the transparency of treaty-relevant biological facilities and activities. The US should respond to the international community's call for lab transparency
From 2006 to 2013, labs notified federal regulators of about 1,500 incidents with select agent pathogens, and 15 people contracted laboratory-acquired infections, according to US newspaper USA Today

PLA (people liberation army) kicks off drills on northern coast

The drills are more likely to be a regular period of internal training aimed at boosting the combat ability of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and putting its advanced air defense weapons to the test, rather than targeting the island of Taiwan as some reports by Taiwan media have suggested, analysts said.

Even more alarming, perhaps, the appeal of such tactics appears to be growing among elements of both major parties.

Bolsonaro desmiente a un general ministro
Desde Rio de Janeiro.
Surgieron nuevas pistas, bastante claras, de que la novela que involucra al ultraderechista presidente brasileño Jair Bolsonaro tendrá muy pronto nuevos capítulos. La duración de todo eso, así como el desenlace, siguen envueltos en un pesado misterio, pero ya quedó claro que la situación del presidente no es exactamente cómoda.
Frente a la acusación lanzada por Sergio Moro, quien renunció de manera estrepitosa al ministerio de Justicia el pasado 24 de abril, de que Bolsonaro pretendía intervenir en la dirección de la Policía Federal de Río de Janeiro para impedir que se investigue eventuales delitos en que estarían involucrados sus tres hijos que actúan en la política, el Supremo Tribunal Federal determinó la apertura de una investigación.
