__***US anti-missile system 'operational' in South Korea***__
*http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-39775854*
*he US military says its controversial Thaad missile defence system is "operational" in South Korea.
A spokesman said the system was now able to intercept North Korean missiles and defend the South.
But officials have told reporters that full operational capability is still some months away.
Tensions have been rising around the Korean peninsula, with repeated threats from North Korea and the presence of a group of US warships and a submarine.
On Monday, two US bombers took part in a joint drill with South Korea's air force in what the US said was a routine operation.
North Korea crisis: Why now?
How mixed signals could spell disaster
Are N Korea's neighbours worried?
Thaad, which stands for Terminal High Altitude Area Defence, was installed last week at a former golf course in the central county of Seongju, amid angry protests.
Many locals believe the system is a potential target for attacks and endangers the lives of those living nearby.
China has also protested - it believes the system's radar range could interfere with the security of its own military operations.
A spokesman for the US forces based in South Korea said Thaad was now "operational and has the ability to intercept North Korean missiles and defend the Republic of Korea".
But a US defence official told AFP news agency that the system currently only has "initial intercept capability" which would be beefed up later this year as more parts of the system arrive.*

🇪🇺 __***Pope Francis: Europe Is in Danger of ‘Falling Apart’***__ 🇻🇦

*BREITBART*

Every nation is free to vote for the political leaders it wants, said Pope Francis Saturday, while Europe itself is in
danger of *“falling apart.”*

*“Every country is free to make the choices it believes are right for itself. I cannot judge if it is making this choice
for this reason or another, because I do not know its internal politics,”* Francis said, in reference to the upcoming
French presidential elections.

We must *“respect people’s opinions, honest opinions of a political discussion,”* he said.

During the return flight from Egypt to Rome on Saturday, the Pope granted a press conference to the journalists aboard
the papal flight, during which he was asked about the populist movements expanding in Europe.

Virginie Riva of the French group, *“Radio Europe 1,”* made direct reference to the French presidential elections,
claiming that French Catholics *“are being forced to vote for either a populist or an extremist, and they are divided
and confused.”* Late last month, a first round of elections reduced the list of presidential candidates to Marine Le Pen
of the Front National party and Emmanuel Macron of the *“En Marche!”* party. The final, run-off vote will take place on
May 7.

Francis confessed that **“I do not understand French internal politics,”** but repeated the principle that every country
is free to make the choices it believes are right for itself.

🇻🇪 __***With His People Eating Dogs, Venezuela’s Idiot-In-Chief Just Raised The Minimum Wage***__ 🇻🇪
*http://archive.is/HKdSL*
*THE DAILY WIRE*

Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro is desperate to put the brakes on a mass protest movement that threatens his
absolutist rule. As a woke socialist, Maduro did what every armchair liberal economist has advocated for: He raised
minimum wage.

“On his regular television show, ‘Sundays with Maduro,’ the president ordered a 60 percent increase in the country's
minimum wage starting Monday,” reports the Associated Press. “It was the third pay increase the socialist leader has
ordered this year and the 15th since he became president in 2013.”

But wait, there’s more! Maduro handed out hundreds of homes, yes, homes, in an effort to placate his increasingly
empowered opposition.

Comfortably ensconced in Venezuela’s Versailles, Maduro is attempting to buy his people off with worthless bolivars. But
whether he wants to see the writing on the wall or not, Venezuela’s people are desperate for change. Some would rather
die than live one more day in Chavez’s failed dystopian Marxist experiment. The tens of thousands of protesters flooding
the streets of Caracas have had enough.

Make no mistake, history will repeat itself. And the corrupt oligarch telling his people to eat cake will face the same
fate as his despotic predecessors before him. It may take months or even years, but liberty has a way of shining bright
even in the darkest of places.

*FRANCE 24*

China demanded on Tuesday an immediate halt to a controversial US missile shield hours after Washington announced that
the defence system was now operational in South Korea.

But its deployment has infuriated China, which fears it will weaken its own ballistic missile capabilities and says it
upsets the regional security balance.

"We oppose the deployment of the THAAD system in (South Korea) and urge relevant sides to immediately stop the
deployment. We will firmly take necessary measures to uphold our interests," foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said
at a regular press briefing.

While Beijing lashed out at the shield's deployment, the foreign ministry expressed support for US President Donald
Trump's surprise comments that he would be "honored" to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un under the right conditions.

"If it would be appropriate for me to meet with him I would, absolutely. I would be honored to do it," Trump said in an
interview with Bloomberg.

Asked about Trump's remarks, Geng said that China "has always believed that dialogue and consultation... is the only
realistic and viable way to achieve denuclearisation."

NORTH Korea has said it is ready for a “total war” threatening the “final doom of the US” as Donald Trump continues to
stage military drills with South Korea.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has vowed to accelerate its nuclear weapons programme to “maximum pace” and test a
nuclear device “at any time”, as tensions rise around the Korean peninsula.

The North's official KCNA news agency said on Tuesday: "The reckless military provocation is pushing the situation on
the Korean peninsula closer to the brink of nuclear war.

"Any military provocation against the DPRK will precisely mean a total war which will lead to the final doom of the US."

It comes as the US military announced its controversial Thaad missile defence system is now operational in South Korea.

*PJ MEDIA*

After the U.S. Embassy in Kabul in March froze the interview process for Afghans who had supported U.S. forces due to a
lack of visas, a bipartisan effort secured 2,500 more visas in the compromise spending bill up for consideration this
week.

"I’m glad to see the increased number of visas included in the budget," he added. "A good step in the right direction to
show our support for those allies who have risked their lives to advance the cause of freedom, and protect the United
States."

The SIV backers in the Senate said not approving the extra visas would send a poor message to U.S. allies and put lives
at risk.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) called the inclusion of the visas in the government spending bill "potentially a life-
saving development."

"I'm tremendously relieved that this bipartisan agreement includes additional visas for Afghan interpreters and support
staff. Allowing this program to lapse would send the message to our allies in Afghanistan that the United States has
abandoned them," Shaheen said. "It’s both a moral and practical imperative that Congress approve additional visas."

Congress needs to "regularly replenish the number of visas available to avoid future brinkmanship," she added. "The
lives of Afghan interpreters and support staff literally hang in the balance."

🇺🇸 __***Ryan defends leaving Planned Parenthood funded in spending deal***__ 🇺🇸

*THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER*

House Speaker Paul Ryan defended not defunding Planned Parenthood in the spending bill Congress will vote on this week,
saying that legislation repealing Obamacare is a better vehicle to strip federal money from the abortion and women’s
health provider.

The spending deal released this week doesn’t defund nonprofit, angering anti-abortion groups. Ryan said during his
weekly press conference that the reason was due to tactics: Spending bills need 60 votes to pass the Senate, and a
defunding measure would be problematic.

"With pro-life Republican majorities in both houses, it is **incredibly disappointing** that any Republican spending bill
would contain continued funding for Planned Parenthood," said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the anti-abortion
group Susan B. Anthony's List.

Dannenfelser said the spending bill's omission puts more pressure on Republicans to pass any reconciliation bill that
defunds Planned Parenthood.

Theresa May says she will be a "bloody difficult woman" towards European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker during
Brexit talks.

The PM revived a line used during her Tory leadership campaign to respond to claims the two clashed over dinner.

She also declined to commit to settling the issue of expats' rights by June.

EU sources claim UK misunderstanding of the talks process, and ignorance about how Brussels works, could lead to no deal
being agreed on the UK's exit.

According to German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine, the prime minister and Mr Juncker clashed last Wednesday at
Downing Street over Mrs May's desire to make Brexit "a success" and whether the issue of protecting the rights of expat
UK and EU nationals could be agreed as early as June.

"During the Conservative Party leadership campaign I was described by one of my colleagues as a bloody difficult woman.
And I said at the time the next person to find that out will be Jean-Claude Juncker."

🇨🇺 __***VIDEO: Cuban Dissident Beaten for Interrupting Communist May Day Parade Waving U.S. Flag***__ 🇺🇸

*BREITBART*

An anti-communism Cuban dissident interrupted Monday’s May Day parade in Havana, running in front of the marching
throngs waving an American flag. A communist mob attacked him, beating him and dragging him away.

The man, identified as Daniel Llorente, has previously waged similar protests against the communist regime of dictator
Raúl Castro and has expressed vocally his support for the American government.

Video of the incident shows that Llorente took off running in front of the throngs, waving an American flag before the
likeness of mass murderer Ernesto “Che” Guevara in the Plaza of the Revolution, waiting to march just moments before the
May Day parade was to begin, shouting anti-government slogans. A group of men waiting on the sidelines, who have not
been identified in reports, restrained, beat, and dragged Llorente away. Every major Cuban government leader, including
dictator Castro, was in attendance.

Llorente was also beaten and whisked away following that incident.

May Day, or International Workers’ Day, is a holiday organized to celebrate Marxism worldwide. In Cuba, governed by
communists for over half a century, the government celebrates annually with a large mandatory parade in Havana.

In a rare admission that the Llorente incident occurred, state propaganda outlet Granma condemned the protester as an
“annexationist” and claimed he had a criminal record for “armed robbery.”

The ethics of Facebook’s micro-targeted advertising was thrust into the spotlight this week by a report out of
Australia. The article, based on a leaked presentation, said that Facebook was able to identify teenagers at their most
vulnerable, including when they feel “insecure”, “worthless”, “defeated” and “stressed”.

Facebook claimed the report was misleading, assuring the public that the company does not “offer tools to target people
based on their emotional state”. If the intention of Facebook’s public relations spin is to give the impression that
such targeting is not even possible on their platform, I’m here to tell you I believe they’re lying through their teeth.

WikiLeaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me and got scared off….if the election had
been on October 27, I would be your president.”

But aside from that, she takes responsibility.

**She also added that places that didn't vote for her couldn't get "cell coverage for a mile."**

What does she have going on next? She says, “I’m now back to being an activist citizen and part of the resistance.”

Really? What, exactly, is she resisting? She dragged her party down almost singlehandedly in the last election cycle.

Saudi Aramco has become a 100-percent owner of Port Arthur, an oil refinery in Texas. Port Arthur has a capacity of
600,000 barrels per day, making it the biggest in North America.

The kingdom’s national oil company previously owned 50 percent in the refinery before acquiring the full stake from
Royal Dutch Shell on Monday. Complicated relations between the companies forced them to separate their assets. On
Monday, Shell announced the divorce was complete.

Saudis also acquired 24 distribution terminals, Aramco said in a statement. The Saudi firm also got the exclusive right
to sell Shell-branded gasoline and diesel in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Washington DC,
the eastern half of Texas, and the majority of Florida.

“This meeting is considered a historical turning point in relations between both countries and which had passed through
a period of divergence of views on many issues,” a senior adviser to Prince Mohammed said in a statement in March.

In November 2016, then-President-elect Donald Trump warned he could halt imports from Saudi Arabia and other Arab
countries if they do not send ground troops to fight Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).

Hundreds of new State Department emails released by the watchdog group Judicial Watch (JW) shows additional instances of

JW released 894 pages of new State materials, obtained through a FOIA lawsuit against the Department, including
previously unreleased email conversations that show the former secretary of state being sent additional classified

“The new documents included 29 email exchanges not previously turned over to the State Department, bringing the known
total to date to at least 317 emails that were not part of the 55,000 pages of emails that Clinton turned over to the
State Department. These records further appear to contradict statements by Clinton that, ‘as far as she knew,’ all of
her government emails were turned over to the State Department,” JW said in a statement.

One example cited by JW include a December 21, 2009, email. Clinton national security adviser Jake Sullivan forwarded an
email to Clinton’s unsecured email account that contained classified information that was redacted under FOIA exemption

Socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro is looking to put in place the political architecture necessary for consolidating
power and avoiding popular elections.

“After a month of near-daily protests by opponents demanding early general elections, the unpopular leader announced on
Monday he planned to set up the super-body popular assembly with the power to rewrite the constitution,” reports
Reuters.

This “constituent assembly” would be granted immense power over the political process.

Long shut out of the corridors of power, everyday constituents would likely never staff Maduro’s super-body, despite
what the leftist demagogue might say.

“Critics of the president said he was increasingly dictatorial and planned to staff the assembly with supporters and
avoid elections he would likely lose during a crushing recession in the oil-producing country,” notes Reuters. Regional
elections that were scheduled for last year have yet to be called and a presidential election is due for 2018.

Regional neighbors to the north and south have sounded the alarm on Maduro’s latest power grab as Venezuela begins
looking more and more like a failed state everyday.

Nearly a quarter of the inmates in federal prisons were born outside the United States, and more than half of those have
final deportation orders, the Department of Justice said Tuesday.

The Justice Department published statistics on the prison population to comply with directives in President Donald
Trump’s January executive order overhauling the immigration system.

The foreign-born prison population as of March 25 totals 45,493, or 24 percent of all federal inmates. Of that group,
3,939 now are American citizens. That leaves 41,554 inmates who remain citizens of foreign countries. Some 22,541 of
them, or 54.4 percent, have final orders to be deported when they complete their sentences. Another 33.4 percent,
13,886, are under investigation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents for possible deportation.

A small number of prisoners — 26, or .1 percent of all foreign-born inmates — have been granted asylum, while another
5,101 have been targeted by ICE for deportation but are fighting it.

Even after subtracting out foreign-born prisoners who now are U.S. citizens, the prison federal prison population still
is about 22 percent immigrant.

• Things not mentioned in Trump campaign: Biometric entry-exit visa tracking and pass Kate's Law

The contents of Steve Bannon's secret planning whiteboard have been revealed. Mr Bannon, who is President Trump's chief strategist, writes down his thoughts and priorities on the board.

Now, they have been revealed thanks to (((Rabbi Shmuley Boteach))), a Jewish author who went to meet Mr Bannon. The Rabbi got his picture taken with the Trump advisor, but the whiteboard was in view of the camera. He then posted the photograph on Twitter.

Two parts which stand out are: "new extreme vetting," and "Build the Border Wall and eventually make Mexico..."

Mr Bannon has ticked policies which have been addressed by President Trump.

However, other ideas appear more ambitious, and have not yet been put in the process of being carried out.

The US Air Force test-launched an unarmed intercontinental ballistic missile from California early Wednesday, the
military said.

Air Force Global Strike Command spokesman Joe Thomas told AFP from California that the test was routine and not meant to
be a show of force in the standoff with North Korea over its nuclear and ballistic missile program.

The Minuteman III missile blasted off from Vandenberg Air Force Base at 0702 GMT, the strike command said in a
statement.

The missile traveled some 4,200 miles (6,700 km) and went down near a Pacific Ocean atoll that is part of the Marshall
Islands and features a US military ballistic missile test site.

The Minuteman III, capable of being fitted with a nuclear warhead, is tested like this about four times a year, said
Linda Frost, also a spokeswoman for the strike command.

*RT*

India’s government asserted to the country’s Supreme Court that citizens don’t have “absolute” rights over their bodies,
and the privacy argument is “bogus.” They were discussing a controversial new system, allegedly used to fight fake IDs.

The Aadhaar system involves biometric information such as blood and fingerprints stored in encrypted format, and
initially, the government said it would only be voluntary.

However, the court was hearing three petitions against Aadhaar on Tuesday, with the petitioners arguing that Section
139AA of the Income Tax Act, which was introduced via this year’s latest Budget and Finance Act, is unconstitutional.

Section 139AA requires Indian citizens to cite their Aadhaar details or enrolment ID of their Aadhar application form in
order to complete their income tax returns, as well as to apply for a PAN [Personal Account Number] starting from July
1. This makes it mandatory for citizens to get the unique identity number.

It’s impossible to build bridges between Saudi Arabia and Iran due to Tehran’s “extremist ideology” and ambitions to
“control the Islamic world,” Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman al-Saud, the kingdom’s defense minister.

The official shared his views in an interview with MBC television, broadcasted by Saudi media. Asked if there’s any room
for dialogue with Iran, the 31-year-old prince replied: “How can I come to an understanding with someone, or a regime,
that has an anchoring belief built on an extremist ideology? What are the interests between us? How can I come to an
understanding with this?” he said, as cited by AP.

Iranian Islamic revolutionaries called for the overthrow of monarchies and their replacement with Islamic republics,
raising concerns of minority Sunni-run Arab neighbors like Iraq, Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf States most of whom
were monarchies.

Relations reached a low in 2011 when people took to the streets across the Arab world during the Arab Spring protests in
which (predominantly Shiite) Iran supported Shiite forces, while Saudi Arabia (predominantly Sunni) back the Sunnis
respectively.

Theresa May has accused European politicians of making "threats" against Britain to try to influence the general
election result.

The PM launched a stinging attack on the "bureaucrats of Brussels" in a speech outside 10 Downing Street after meeting
the Queen.

She said some in Brussels wanted Brexit talks to fail and that the European press had "misrepresented" the UK's
negotiating stance.

Parliament was dissolved at midnight, and the PM made her speech after visiting the Queen at Buckingham Palace as the
general election formally got under way.

She said events of the past few days had shown "just how tough" Brexit talks are likely to be.

"Britain's negotiating position in Europe has been misrepresented in the continental press," she said, in a reference to
a German newspaper's account of her dinner with the EU Commission chief.

Adam Jones, an outfielder for the Baltimore Orioles, was pelted in Boston's Fenway Park Saturday with a bag of peanuts.
Worse still, according to USA Today, from the cheap seats, some Boston Red Sox fans hurled racial taunts at the black
outfielder, including the N-word. Despicable and outrageous behavior.

Michael Smith was not even a guest on ESPN. He is co-host of the ailing network's "SC6," and an apology from the Red Sox
organization and Boston's Democrat mayor were not enough for Smith. Instead, he launched into a lengthy tirade that
condemned every city in America -- the most left-wing parts of our country, by the way -- as racist.

In the city of Boston, Hillary Clinton won 217,000 votes to President Trump's 38,000. Because I went to public schools,
I don’t know what the percentage is, but that seems pretty lopsided.

Oh, and Boston has not had a Republican mayor since 1930.

But Smith didn't just condemn the city of Boston, oh-noes, he condemned every "city in America." But who populates those
cities and does so by overwhelming margins, margins that range as high as 93% to a still impressive 69%?

U.S. special operations forces are set to conduct operations against North Korean nuclear, missile, and other weapons of
mass destruction sites in any future conflict, the commander of Special Operations Command told Congress Tuesday.

Army Gen. Raymond A. Thomas stated in testimony to a House subcommittee that Army, Navy, and Air Force commandos are
based both permanently and in rotations on the Korean peninsula in case conflict breaks out.

The special operations training and preparation is a warfighting priority, Thomas said in prepared testimony. There are
currently around 8,000 special operations troops deployed in more than 80 countries.

A defense official said U.S. commandos in the past have trained for covert operations against several types of nuclear
facilities, including reactors and research centers. Scale models of some North Korean weapons facilities have been
built in the United States for practice operations by commandos.

The most secret direct action operations would be carried out by special units, such as the Navy's Seal Team Six or the
Army's Delta Force.

🇯🇵 __***Abe plans to enforce first-ever change to Japanese post-WWII pacifist constitution by 2020***__ 🇯🇵
*https://archive.is/VOLUs*
*RT*

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has unveiled a plan to make a first-ever revision to the country’s pacifist
constitution which has been in force since Japan's defeat in WWII. He wants to see the revision take effect in 2020.

The prime minister has stated that the year Japan will host the Olympics and Paralympics in Tokyo will be the year in
which the country will "be born anew" and will move forward "in a solid manner."

"I strongly desire that 2020 will be the year a new Constitution goes into force," he said in a video message, aired by
Japanese television broadcasters.

The government argues, however, that the provision does not formally prohibit Japan from defending itself, and therefore
allows Japan to possess defense forces.

A growing number of voters in Japan - 45 percent - throw their weight behind Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's campaign to
revise the country’s postwar constitution, a Nikkei Inc/TV Tokyo survey found on Wednesday.

About 46 percent of respondents favor keeping the constitution as it is, four percentage points lower than a similar
poll a year earlier, Reuters reported. The number opting for a change is up five percentage points.

*BREITBART*

FBI Director James Comey hit back Wednesday against Democratic criticism of his decision to reopen the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails 11 days before the 2016 election.

He said although it made him “mildly nauseous” to think he could have had some impact on the election, he believes he did the right thing and to this day, would not change his mind.

He said the seized laptop of Anthony Weiner — the husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin — had metadata that “showed there were thousands” of Clinton’s emails on his laptop, including classified information and what officials believed could be missing emails from her first three months as secretary of state.

He said after repeatedly telling members of Congress that the FBI had concluded its investigation into Clinton, the only right thing to do was to let Congress know the case was reopened.

He said not saying something would have been an “act of concealment,” and that he was faced with two choices: speak or conceal. Concealment would have been “catastrophic,” he said.

He said he was asked by a subordinate whether his decision would help then-candidate Donald Trump with the election, but he did not “for a moment” think about whose political fortunes would be affected, and that he had to do the “right thing.”

A segment attributing biological sex to chromosomes has been cut from a re-release of “Bill Nye, the Science Guy.”

The episode, titled “Probability,” originally contained a scene describing why boys are boys and girls are girls.

“I’m a girl. Could have just as easily been a boy, though, ‘cause the probability of becoming a girl is always 1 in 2,”
a young woman says in the show. “See, inside each of our cells are these things called chromosomes, and they control
whether we become a boy or a girl.”

That segment is not in the show as it appears on Netflix.

Requests seeking comment from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, which distributed the show on DVD, and Netflix
have not been returned.

The University of Texas is back in the spotlight just days after a tragic stabbing on the campus where one student was killed and three others injured.

As students returned to classes Tuesday, May 2, many noticed racist, 90's-esque propaganda posted all over the campus.

Word of the offensive flyers spread throughout the campus, and the university's president has since issued a statement saying the posters were being taken down immediately and such behavior is unwelcome on the campus.

This is not the first occasion where racist flyers have popped up on UT or other Texas campuses. After the election, campuses saw a rise in similar posters and graffiti targeting groups such as Muslims, racial minorities and immigrants.

*WASHINGTON EXAMINER*

An internal FBI investigation into the spike of attacks on law enforcement has determined that revenge, inspired by the
Black Lives Matter movement, the media's assault on police shootings, and criticism from politicians, is the what
motivates a "majority" of those targeting cops.

"Law enforcement officials believe that defiance and hostility displayed by assailants toward law enforcement appears to
be the new norm," said the internal report stamped "For Official Use Only."

Just Tuesday, the start of National Police Week, two Chicago police were wounded in "targeted" shootings, the latest in
the escalation of attacks on the badge.

The four-page report provided to Secrets said that an anti-police wave following the 2014 police shooting death of
Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., is what drove most of those accused of killing law enforcement officers in 2016. In 53
shootings, 60 police were killed last year.

The report studied 50 of 64 killings of police in 2016 and found 14 simply wanted to kill police.

According to an April 28th letter from the Senate Judiciary Committee to FBI Director James Comey, there's a lot of
questions regarding liberal research firm Fusion GPS. The letter indicates that the Justice Department is investigating
a formal complaint that Fusion GPS has been illegally working with Russian principles to undermine U.S. sanctions
against Russia.

Founded in 2009, Fusion GPS is a Democrat research firm, that conducts opposition research on behalf of liberals causes
and candidates. This is the same firm that employed the author of the dossier alleging collusion between associates of
Donald Trump and the Russian government.

This is the same opposition research firm that was hired by Planned Parenthood to discredit the Center for Medical
Progress’ sting videos, revealing that Planned Parenthood representatives selling aborted baby tissue samples. They were
also hired to investigate Trump’s sexual history in 2015 and conduct anti-Romney opposition research for the Democrats
in 2012.

While Fusion GPS’s relationship with Russia has been a subject of investigation for the past few years, the Senate

The two contenders for the French presidency traded insults in a fiery head to head TV debate, in a key moment of a long

Centrist Emmanuel Macron said his far-right rival Marine Le Pen's strategy "is to lie", while she called him a shameless
"darling of the system".

The debate was heated for most of its 160 minutes, with both candidates throwing personal insults at each other.

Ms Le Pen called her 39-year-old rival "the candidate of savage globalisation", happy to sell off France's assets and
relinquish control of the country.

Mr Macron, in turn, accused the 48-year-old leader of the National Front (FN) of being "the high priestess of fear",
saying she talked a lot but "proposed nothing".

*THE DES MOINES REGISTER*

Tens of thousands of Iowans could be left with no health insurance options next year, after the last carrier for most of
the state announced Wednesday that it likely would stop selling individual health policies here.

Medica, a Minnesota-based health insurer, released a statement suggesting it was close to following two larger carriers
in deciding not to sell such policies in Iowa for 2018, due to instability in the market.

“Without swift action by the state or Congress to provide stability to Iowa’s individual insurance market, Medica will
not be able to serve the citizens of Iowa in the manner and breadth that we do today. We are examining the potential of
limited offerings, but our ability to stay in the Iowa insurance market in any capacity is in question at this point,”
the company’s statement said.

Medica Vice President Geoff Bartsh said his company would have continued selling insurance throughout Iowa if Wellmark
and Aetna had stayed in the market. But Medica, which lost $1.5 million covering 14,000 Iowans last year, couldn’t
afford to take on tens of thousands more from the other two carriers, he said.

“The decision wasn’t, ‘Should we continue?’ It was, ‘Should we be the only game in town?’” Bartsh said in an interview
Wednesday.
