Порошенко встретился с главой ОБСЕ и обсудил полицейскую миссию

0

NewsHubВечером 16 января президент Украины Петр Порошенко встретился в Киеве с новым главой ОБСЕ и министром иностранных дел Австрии Себастианом Курцом. Во время встречи стороны обсудили конфликт в Донбассе.
— Есть каждый день давать четко понять России, что ей не избежать ответственности за вопиющее пренебрежение нормами и принципами международного права, а ее надежды на ослабление санкционного давления — напрасны, — цитирует Порошенко пресс-служба главы государства .
Вместе с этим президент заявил, что урегулирование ситуации в Донбассе требует применения всего потенциала ОБСЕ.
— В этом контексте ключевое значение имеет продолжение начатой Немецким председательством работы над вопросом размещения вооруженной полицейской миссии ОБСЕ в регионе, — сказано в сообщении.
В ТЕМУ
Глава ОБСЕ: Введение полицейской миссии на Донбасс – маловероятно
— ОБСЕ — это организация с 57 государствами-членами. В том числе и Россией. И любая миссия нуждается в согласии всех государств. В настоящее время у этой идеи нет необходимой поддержки, — заявил в интервью изданию Kurier Себастьян Курс.

Thomas has another big 4th quarter to carry Celtics past Hornets

0

NewsHubBOSTON — Isaiah Thomas scored 17 of his 35 points in the fourth quarter, and the surging Boston Celtics beat the Charlotte Hornets 108-98 on Monday night for their ninth victory in 11games.
It was Thomas’ 25th straight game with 20 or more points. He’s been putting up big final quarters of late – scoring 20 or more three times this season. No other NBA player had done it more than once entering Monday.
Al Horford had 22 points, while Kelly Olynyk and Jae Crowder added 15 apiece for Boston, which has won all three meetings with Charlotte this season.
Kemba Walker scored 24 points and Marvin Williams had 21 for the Hornets, who lost their fifth straight – all on the road.
Thomas scored 13 straight points, pushing Boston ahead 93-83 with his 3-pointer from the left wing with 7½ minutes left.
Boston led 80-71 entering the final period.
Celtics rookie Jaylen Brown addressed the crowd before the game on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Without notes, he quoted King in saying: “The day our lives begin to end, the day we become silent about things that matter.”

Australian Open: U. S. entries get off to strong start

0

NewsHubMELBOURNE, Australia — Shelby Rogers thoroughly dominated the No. 4 player in the world, Simona Halep. A teary-eyed CoCo Vandeweghe battled nausea to outlast another top-20 veteran, Roberta Vinci.
And the grande dame of the women’s tour, 36-year-old Venus Williams, refused to cede the spotlight for at least another match at the Australian Open, beating Kateryna Kozlova in the first round of her 73rd career Grand Slam tournament, an Open-era record.
It’s been a fast start for many of the 32 Americans in the men’s and women’s singles draw in Melbourne – both the old guard and the unproven youngsters of the next generation. Thirteen won their first-round matches on Monday, compared to six losses – two of which were to American opponents.
On Tuesday, Serena Williams added to the America’s success, beating Belinda Bencic 6-4, 6-3 in her quest for her 23rd Grand Slam title.
The power-hitting Rogers scored the biggest upset Monday.
Newly confident after her surprising run to the French Open quarterfinals last year, the 24-year-old South Carolina native outplayed Halep with an aggressive, all-court game, winning 6-3, 6-1.
Vandeweghe fell to her knees with nausea while trailing in the second set of her match against Vinci, but after an extended medical timeout and a couple sips of a soft drink, she recovered to break back and finish off a 6-1, 7-6 (3) victory.
Also Monday, Roger Federer returned from a six-month layoff to beat fellow 35-year-old Jurgen Melzer 7-5, 3-6, 6-2, and Andy Murray advanced to the second round with a 7-5, 7-6 (5), 6-2 win over Illya Marchenko.

Vegas Play of the Day: Cavaliers at Warriors

0

NewsHubTony Dejak / Associated Press
Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James, left, and Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry battle for a loose ball in the second half of an NBA basketball game, Sunday, Dec. 25, 2016, in Cleveland. The Cavaliers won 109-108.
By Mike Grimala ( contact )
Monday, Jan. 16, 2017 | 11:37 a.m.
We’ve entered the third season of the annual South Point-lined Play of the Day competition, effective July 1.
Starting bankrolls have reset to $10,000, with the maximum bet being to win $1,000 and the minimum wager $300. Ray Brewer won the 2015-2016 season after Taylor Bern prevailed in 2014-2015. Bern stepped away in the middle of the 2016-2017 season with a 16-12 record and $13,317 bankroll, with Mike Grimala taking his place.
This is the best rivalry in the NBA right now, and maybe all of sports, as both teams are playing at a championship level and remain evenly matched, even though Cleveland has won the last four meetings (including three straight to close out last year’s NBA Finals). And it’s the closeness of the rivalry makes me lean toward Cleveland +7.5 in this one.
Yes, the Warriors will be playing at home, but 7.5 points seems like too big of a spread considering how well the Cavs have matched up with them over the last two seasons. When these teams met in Cleveland on Christmas Day, the Warriors ran out to a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter but couldn’t put it away, as LeBron James and Co. came back to win by a single point, 109-108.
James put up 31 points and 13 rebounds in that game, and Kyrie Irving went for 25 points and 10 assists. Golden State still doesn’t have anyone capable of defending either of them. No matter how well the Warriors play on offense, I fully expect James and Irving to at least keep this game close, if not win it outright.

China's sovereign wealth fund wants to help Trump revamp US infrastructure

0

NewsHubPresident-elect Donald Trump’s plans to goose infrastructure spending will offer strong investment opportunities, said Ding Xuedong, chairman of China’s sovereign wealth fund, China Investment Corp. (CIC).
«Trump calls for expansionary fiscal policy and more investments in U. S. infrastructure. The upgrades and the expansion mean massive investment,» Ding told CNBC in translated comments. «The U. S. government doesn’t have the money, private investors in the U. S. don’t have the money and this is where the foreign investors come in. »
The Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute has ranked CIC as the world’s second largest sovereign wealth fund by assets under management, with around $813.8 billion.
Ding, speaking on the sidelines of the Asian Financial Forum in Hong Kong this week, saw a natural fit between Chinese investors and Trump’s infrastructure plans, expressing little concern over the president-elect’s «America first» rhetoric.
«Over the past three decades, China’s infrastructure has been growing very fast. It’s one of the biggest successes China has achieved. We have lots of design, execution and management experiences that we can export,» Ding said.
«We hope the U. S. will not have any double standards or bias, but have a level playing field for foreign investors, including China. If so, I see lots of opportunities in the U. S.,» he said.
Ding added that he expected CIC could find local partners in the U. S. or the fund could team up with foreign investors.
Trump’s infrastructure plan, which calls for around $1 trillion in investments, has lacked much in the way of details so far, but appeared likely to rely heavily on public-private partnerships, which suggested projects with profit potential would be prioritized.
It’s unclear whether that $1 trillion would include construction of one of Trump’s signature campaign promises, building a wall along the U. S. border with Mexico. Since the election, Trump has backed away from claims that Mexico would pay for the wall, saying via Twitter that he would seek funding from Congress and collect from Mexico later. Mexican authorities have said repeatedly that the country would not pay for the wall and Trump has provided no details on how he planned to collect.
With many Republicans in Congress concerned about deficits, it was also unclear how much spending would be approved.
CIC’s Ding also didn’t put much weight on Trump’s threats about the level of the Chinese currency.
During the campaign, Trump had vowed to label China a currency manipulator for the purposes of a competitive trade advantage and threatened to impose a tariff of as much as 45 percent on China’s exports to the U. S.
In the wake of the surprise Trump win, the yuan fell to nearly eight year lows against the dollar, touching its weakest since at least January 2009, during the global financial crisis. But analysts attributed the slide primarily to the strength of the dollar, with the dollar index , which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, surging to a 14-year high after the election.
Indeed, some analysts had noted that, based on currency movements within the yuan’s trade-weighted basket, policymakers appeared to be supporting the Chinese currency somewhat.
Ding also pointed to the dollar for the yuan’s decline.
«In the past, that depreciation [of the yuan] was caused by a slowing Chinese economy, but this time around, it was caused by a strong dollar, driven by U. S. interest rate hike expectations and strong growth,» he said. «Almost all other currencies have weakened against the greenback. If we compare the yuan with other, non-U. S. dollar currencies, it’s actually appreciated. »
Ding also downplayed the possibility that the yuan would drop sharply ahead.
«People are expecting more downward pressure on the yuan going forward, which I do agree with, but I don’t think we’re likely to see a big drop in its value,» he said.
