Iran Quake of 5.1 Magnitude Kills 2, Injures 38

Two people died and 38 were injured when a 5.1 magnitude earthquake struck northern Iran in the early hours of Friday and people fled their homes in panic, state television reported.
 
There were at least 40 milder aftershocks, but no serious damage from the quake that struck after midnight on the border of the provinces of Tehran and Mazandaran, it added.  
 
The epicenter was south of Iran's highest peak, the snow-capped Mount Damavand, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
 
The 5,761-meter (18,900-foot) mountain is volcanic, but Iranian officials said the quake was not triggered by volcanic activities.
 
Press TV reported boulders blocking the road leading to the mountainous Damavand area.
 
Soon after the quake struck at 00:48 local time Friday (2018 GMT on Thursday), officials urged people who spent the night outdoors for fear of aftershocks to observe social distancing to limit spread of the new coronavirus.
 
COVID-19 has, according to Health Ministry figures on Friday, killed 6,541 and infected more than 104,691 in the middle eastern nation.
 
Authorities also assured the public there was no shortage of petrol as people rushed to gas stations to fill up after the quake.
 
Among the dead were a 21-year-old woman in Tehran who suffered heart failure, and a 60-year-old man in the city of Damavand, east of the capital, killed by a head injury, officials said.
 
Tehran governor general Anoushirvan Mohseni-Bandpey told state TV that only four of the 38 injured were hospitalized.  
 
Crisscrossed by major fault lines, Iran is one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world. In 2003, a magnitude 6.6 quake in Kerman province killed 31,000 people and flattened the ancient city of Bam.
 
The latest quake was at a shallow depth of 7 km (4.3 miles), according to USGS.

'Don't Forget Chen Qiushi,' Friend of Chinese Journalist Says

'Don't Forget Chen Qiushi,' Friend of Chinese Journalist Says

A friend of Chen Qiushi, who reported on Hong Kong democracy protests and COVID-19 before going missing February 6, has urged the world to not forget the citizen journalist's plight.

Chen had been reporting on the epidemic from Wuhan, and uploading videos to YouTube and Twitter, which are banned in China.

The friend told VOA no one knows where Chen is. On Twitter, Chen's friend tweeted that the journalist and lawyer was likely being held under "residential surveillance."

"Chen Qiushi has been out of contact for 86 days after covering coronavirus in Wuhan. Please save him!" the friend posted on Chen's Twitter account on May 3, World Press Freedom Day.  

The post included a picture of Chen and a "prayer for citizen journalists" in Chinese that read, "Knowing empowers us, knowing helps us decide, knowing keeps us free."

At least six citizen journalists and activists have been detained, gone missing or been held in "enforced quarantine" in recent months.

In an interview with VOA, Cedric Alviani, East Asia bureau director for Reporters Without Borders, urged citizen journalists to not give up their efforts to reveal information China is trying to hide.

"After the pandemic, no one in the world can say that the problem of censorship in China only concerns Chinese citizens," Alviani said.

China ranks 177 out of 180 countries in the media watchdog's 2020 Press Freedom Index, where 1 is the most free.

Chen previously told VOA that his social media account was set up "outside the firewall" and trusted friends would manage it if anything happened to him.

The journalist's friend, who spoke with VOA and who asked to remain anonymous to avoid retaliation, said the theme of this year's World Press Freedom Day — "Journalism Without Fear or Favor" — described Chen perfectly.

Chen Qiushi: Lawyer, activist, journalist

Chen, a 34-year-old lawyer, activist and popular citizen journalist from China, became widely known globally for providing firsthand coverage of the Hong Kong pro-democracy movement in 2019.

He posted videos on his then Weibo account about the protests, and he criticized the government for characterizing protesters as rioters. His Weibo account had 740,000 followers before authorities deleted it.

The journalist told VOA in November 2019 that the account and his WeChat were deleted when he returned from Hong Kong. A month earlier, another of his social media accounts was deleted after the journalist returned from covering flood damage in Jiangxi province, Chen said.

When COVID-19 broke out in Wuhan, Chen caught a train into the city on January 24, before a strict lockdown was enforced.

For the next two weeks he posted videos online of his visits to overrun hospitals, funeral homes, and the deserted Huanan Seafood Market where China said early cases of the virus were traced.

"I'm a citizen reporter, this is my responsibility," he said in his first video from Wuhan, "What kind of reporter are you if you don't rush over to Ground Zero?"

While in Wuhan, Chen mentioned multiple times between January 21 and January 30 that the Chinese state police were on him and that he had received warnings. "I'm ready to be taken away at any time," he said in one video.

On February 6, after visiting a newly built hospital, Chen lost contact with the outside world. 

Crackdown on citizen journalists

Other citizen journalists and bloggers also have been detained or gone offline — a sign that many observers believe means they were arrested or under an "enforced disappearance." 

Authorities on February 1 arrested Wuhan resident Fang Bin, who had documented the epidemic. His whereabouts remain unknown.

Another citizen journalist, Li Zehua appeared in a video April 22, two months after he livestreamed security officials coming into the Wuhan apartment where he was staying.

In a video posted to YouTube, Li said he had been in "quarantine" because he visited sensitive areas, the BBC reported

On April 19, three activists lost contact with their families: Chen Mei, Cai Wei and his girlfriend, named in reports as Tang, volunteer with the Terminus 2049 website. The website has been backing articles related to the COVID-19 outbreak online that were deleted by authorities.

Authorities sent letters to the families of two of them saying they had been detained on charges of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble," the rights group Committee to Protect Journalists said

On April 24, authorities in the central Chinese province of Hubei sentenced prominent blogger Liu Yanli to four years in prison for insulting the country's leader Xi Jinping and Mao Zedong. Liu was arrested in 2016 and released on bail. Police took her back into custody for breaking her bail restrictions by communicating with "the outside world." 

When asked about Chen Qiushi, China's ambassador to the U.S. Cui Tiankai repeatedly said he has not heard of this person, according to reports.

China's embassy in Washington did not respond to VOA's emailed request for comment. 

Safety in truth

"As a citizen reporter, Chen Qiushi did nothing wrong, he just recorded what he saw and heard. We should continue to pay attention to his case and call for his freedom," Chen's friend, who has been handling his Twitter account, told VOA.

The friend recalled one of the journalist's Weibo posts in which Chen said people had warned him to be careful.

"If everyone dares to tell the truth, I WILL be safe," Chen said in the post. "It is precisely because Chinese people care so much about their own safety that China has become what it is like today, and things have become more and more dangerous for me."

Chen's friend said he was impressed by this post, because "it's all too real."

In an interview with VOA in November, Chen had said he did not care if he was being monitored. 

If state security officials watched his videos, Chen said, they would find out he "loves his country more than they do."

In the interview, Chen said he once was asked how much he would sacrifice for his country. His answer: "My life."

This story originated in VOA's Mandarin Service.

'No Country Is Doing More' Than US to Fight Coronavirus in Africa, US Official Says

'No Country Is Doing More' Than US to Fight Coronavirus in Africa, US Official Says 

"No country is doing more" to help African nations fight coronavirus than the United States, said the top U.S. diplomat to Africa.

Although the U.S. has suspended contributions to the World Health Organization, Ambassador Tibor Nagy said the U.S. is playing a vital role in helping African nations fight the virus. 

For 20 years, said Tibor Nagy, the U.S. has trained healthcare workers, helped African nations build their healthcare systems and more.  

And now, that work is being tested with a global pandemic that has killed more than 70,000 people in the United States — and so far, about 1,000 people in Africa, which has the lowest caseload of any of the WHO's world regions. 

Nagy, the assistant secretary of the Bureau of African Affairs, spoke by telephone Wednesday to journalists in Africa. 

"We are by far the largest donor nation to Africa and our impact is felt across the board. … And now, in the fight against COVID-19, that commitment continues," Nagy  said. "No other nation is doing more than we are. Of the more than $780 million the U.S. has pledged worldwide to fight the virus, close to $250 million dollars is geared towards Africa."

FILE - Volunteers carry sacks filled with food to distribute to vulnerable residents, during a lockdown by the authorities in efforts to limit the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), in Lagos, Nigeria, April 9, 2020.

But, one reporter asked, how does the U.S. square that with its recent announcement that it would suspend payments to the main global body fighting the virus?

The head of  the World Health Organization has called the U.S. decision to halt funding "regrettable" and that critics said could cause preventable deaths around the world.  

"We are undertaking in a 60- to 90- day evaluation of the World Health Organization's response during this COVID emergency," Nagy said. "And as Secretary (of State Mike) Pompeo himself has said, basically, he said, 'you know, with respect to the WHO, we know they had one job, a single mission, to prevent the spread of the pandemic. So that did not happen. It was not the first time of failure' ... We have been the long largest single funder of the WHO, it's our responsibility, the government, to look after the interests of the U.S. taxpayers who have been funding that to the tune of $400 to $500 million a year. So again, I would say that the correct term is not defunding. It is stopping funding during the evaluation process."

He said he could not quantify what items — including ventilators — the U.S. has sent or plans to send to African nations. 

Street vendors, wearing face masks as a precaution against the spread of the new coronavirus, sell fruit on the street corner in Katlehong, east of Johannesburg, South Africa, May 6, 2020.

In South Africa, the nation with the continent's highest burden of cases, Professor Salim Abdool Karim, a highly regarded HIV expert who chairs the government's advisory committee on COVID-19, says African nations that have weathered pandemics have a lot to share with the world.  

"I think the one thing we've really learnt a lot is about how to share information quickly," Karim said. "And we have many ways in which we do that, through both official channels and unofficial channels ... So we do share our experiences and make available our expertise because most of us on the ministerial advisory committee, are infectious diseases people, from HIV. And so we bring a lot of what we learn from HIV." 

Nagy said the U.S. is listening intently to African experts.  

"We absolutely recognize expertise wherever it exists, and there are a number of African countries that have, thanks to the history of outbreaks, unfortunately, and having to deal with them, that have built up considerable expertise on dealing with a variety of pandemics." Nagy said. " …  This is by no means a one way communication because we all have so much to learn from each other." 

Karim notes that Africa has no special traits or charms that will stop the virus from exploding across the continent.  Ready or not, he says, it's coming.

US Study: New Coronavirus Strain Spreading Faster

US Study: New Coronavirus Strain Spreading Faster

A new study led by the U.S. government has found that a new strain of the novel coronavirus that is prevailing worldwide is spreading faster than earlier versions.

The study led by scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory said the new strain, a mutated form of the original coronavirus, was detected three months ago in Europe. It traveled quickly to eastern U.S. states before becoming the world's most dominant strain since mid-March.

The scientists who wrote the report said their findings have prompted an "urgent need for an early warning" to vaccine and drug developers to produce solutions that will be effective against the new strain. 

The new strain has rapidly infected many more people than the earlier iterations that spread beyond the city of Wuhan, China, the report said. Within weeks, it was the only strain in countries affected by the coronavirus.

The study found the new strain to be more infectious, although the reasons have yet to be determined. The new version does not appear to be more lethal than the original, though people with the mutated strain seem to have higher viral loads.

The study warns if the pandemic does not diminish as the weather gets warmer, the virus could continue to mutate as work continues to develop vaccines and other medical treatments.

The study's authors said the effectiveness of new medical treatments could be limited if the global scientific community does not get ahead of the risk posed by the new strain.

Why Does a Virus Make Some People Sicker Than Others?

Some experts are skeptical, however, of the findings in the study, conducted in collaboration with researchers at Duke University in the U.S. state of North Carolina and the University of Sheffield in Britain.

The consensus among scientists is that coronavirus mutations are not surprising, and that its various strains remain functionally identical. Moreover, there is no scientific consensus that any of the mutations have altered its ability to spread or its lethality.

The scientific community now must conduct an intense evaluation of the study to determine the accuracy of its findings.

Los Alamos National Laboratory, based in the southwestern U.S. state of New Mexico, is part of the U.S. Energy Department.

Sentencing, Arrest of Activists Are Signs of China's Unrelenting Crackdown

Sentencing, Arrest of Activists Are Signs of China's Unrelenting Crackdown

China's recent sentencing of a blogger and its arrest of a veteran rights activist indicate that Beijing is determined to continue silencing any critics of the ruling party and government.

Liu Yanli, a blogger in China's Hubei Province, was sentenced April 22 to four years in prison by the local court for crimes of provocation. The court document said she was guilty of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble," and that her online speech about current and former party leaders had damaged the government's image.

A week later, police took activist Xie Wenfei into custody for "provoking trouble." Xie, who has long been part of China's pro-democracy movement, has criticized the disappearance of several citizen journalists and rights activists who were involved in posting information about the government's handling of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Blogger Liu Yanli

The verdict by the local court stated that Liu Yanli fabricated false information on messenger apps to attack the Communist Party of China and state leaders, and that her behavior constituted a crime of provocation.

Liu had been active on Chinese social media accounts since 2009, commenting on democracy and politics. She circulated articles on WeChat about Chinese President Xi Jinping, former premier Zhou Enlai and Chairman Mao Zedong. She also maintained a blog which was often critical of the government and the police. Police repeatedly harassed her over her postings.

Liu's defense lawyer, who is also a relative, said her treatment resembles detention practices from the Cultural Revolution, because the charges all related to her statements online, which should be protected as free speech by China's Constitution.

Article 35 of the Constitution proclaims, "Citizens of the People's Republic of China enjoy freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, of association, of procession, and of demonstration." However, the Constitution carries little weight in China's courts, where judges often rule in line with the Communist Party's preferences.

"We were not allowed to visit her since the lockdown in January," her sister Liu Yuehua told VOA. "I believe in her innocence. As long as she's not tortured until she's crazy, we will continue to appeal."

Liu made her last public appearance in court on Jan. 30, 2019. In her final statement, she said that this was not a legal case, but a political one.

"I'm just an ordinary citizen, I'm not a party member. I use common sense to express my opinions, but now I'm facing a guilty verdict, I don't think this is in line with the party's slogan 'serve the people,'" she said.

She also mentioned the Cultural Revolution, the decade in China when education ground to a halt, and society was overtaken by outbreaks of violence and political persecution.

"During the Cultural Revolution, if you want to make someone suffer, you just have to say he/she is anti-Party, and you are all set," she said.

Liu's defense lawyer Wu Kuiming told VOA that the 29 charges listed in the indictment were all related to online remarks, pointing out that the case was similar to that of Lin Zhao and Zhang Zhixin, who were shot during the Cultural Revolution because of their "counter-revolutionary" remarks.

Veteran activist Xie Wenfei

Meanwhile, police detained activist Xie Wenfei on April 29 on suspicion of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble."

This detention notice dated April 30 shows that Xie Wenfei, a prominent activist, was detained for "provoking trouble." Xie has been critical of how China is stifling reporting on coronavirus. (Screenshot of Rights Protection Network's Twitter post)

Xie is a veteran rights activist in China's Hunan province. He recently has criticized the detention of three young volunteers who archived censored information about COVID-19 online, and questioned the disappearance in Wuhan of citizen journalists Chen Qiushi and Fang Bing. He also signed an online petition to honor the COVID-19 whistleblower Dr. Li Wenliang.

"This is not the first arrest," his brother Xie Qiufeng told VOA. "The police didn't tell me anything specific. I think it's about what he had posted on WeChat again."

Born in 1977, Xie Yunfei is a veteran activist who has been detained many times for exercising his rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly over the years. He previously served a 4.5-year prison sentence for supporting the 2014 Occupy Central protests in Hong Kong.

Xie's friend Ou Biaofeng, who is also an activist, told VOA that he's not surprised about Xie's arrest.

Ou said that in recent years, the government has severely reduced the space for civil liberties by rounding up rights lawyers, labor activists and citizen journalists. He added that anyone who expresses a slightly different opinion online will have their account blocked immediately.

"The pro-democracy movement in China has entered a freezing winter because of the crackdown," he said. "The pressure is just enormous. Also, for the past year or two, there's been less and less support of civil movements. It's quite sad."

The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders ranked China near the bottom of its 2020 press freedom index. The group said President Xi is tightening control over news and information and trying to export the country's oppressive surveillance systems.

Trump Nominee to Lead US Intelligence Promises 'Unvarnished Truth'

More than eight months after he was first tapped to lead U.S. intelligence efforts, Congressman John Ratcliffe repeatedly pledged to skeptical lawmakers that he would abandon partisan politics and provide the president and top policymakers the "unvarnished truth," no matter what they wanted to hear. 

"What anyone wants the intelligence to reflect won't impact the intelligence that I deliver," the Texas Republican told fellow lawmakers, should he be confirmed as director of national intelligence. "It won't be shaded for anyone." 

Ratcliffe's journey to Tuesday's confirmation hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee, in a mostly empty chamber due to concerns about the coronavirus pandemic, has been an unusual one.   

An ardent supporter of President Donald Trump, Ratcliffe initially was forced to withdraw his name from consideration last August after Republican and Democratic lawmakers raised questions about his credentials, specifically about allegations he overstated his counterterrorism achievements as a federal prosecutor. 

Many also questioned Ratcliffe's lack of experience with U.S. intelligence agencies, noting his most direct connection has been as a member of the House Intelligence Committee, a seat he got only last year. 

But Trump nominated Ratcliffe again this past February, calling him "an outstanding man of great talent!" 

In his opening statement, Ratcliffe told lawmakers that despite his partisan background, if confirmed as director of national intelligence, he would seek to be "a stabilizing force" for the U.S. intelligence agencies while protecting the agencies from any political litmus tests. 

"You have my commitment to deliver timely, accurate and objective intelligence and to speak truth to power, be that with Congress or within the administration," he said. 

Ratcliffe also sought to distance himself from comments Trump made last July, when he said the intelligence community needed someone to "rein in" agencies that "have run amok." 

"I have never said that," Ratcliffe said, adding he hoped such talk would not have an effect on morale. 

China and COVID-19 his priorities 

Ratcliffe told lawmakers that if confirmed, his top priority would be China and the coronavirus pandemic. 

Trump and other top administration officials have said there is mounting evidence that the COVID-19 virus spread from a Chinese laboratory in Wuhan where the first cases were reported, though U.S. intelligence officials have said publicly that the virus was not human-made. 

"The intelligence community will be laser focused on getting all of the answers that we can regarding how this happened when this happened," Ratcliffe said. "The American people deserve answers." 

Despite getting praise from Republicans on the committee, including the chairman, Sen. Richard Burr, Ratcliffe came under criticism from Democrats, who said that although he had provided answers to more than 100 questions prior to the hearing, he had failed to alleviate their concerns. 

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Sen. Richard Burr, right, adjusts his mask while talking to Vice Chairman Sen. Mark Warner, at a hearing to consider Rep. John Ratcliffe to be Director of National Intelligence, May 5, 2020.

"I'll speak plainly. I still have some of the same doubts now as I had back in August," said Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chair Mark Warner, though he also said he was willing to give Ratcliffe the "benefit of the doubt." 

Targeting Russian meddling 

One of the biggest concerns for Warner and other Democratic lawmakers has been the Trump administration's reaction to the intelligence community's conclusion that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, with the ultimate aim of helping then-candidate Trump. 

A bipartisan report released by the Senate Intelligence Committee last month affirmed that initial finding, calling the conclusion "sound." 

Ratcliffe said he could not wholly endorse the intelligence community's conclusion, pointing to a 2018 report by the House Intelligence Committee which disputed the judgment that Russia sought to help Trump win. 

"But I have not seen the underlying intelligence to tell me why there is a difference of opinion between the two committees," Ratcliffe said. 

Sen. Dianne Feinstein listens during a Senate Intelligence Committee nomination hearing for Rep. John Ratcliffe on Capitol Hill in Washington, May 5, 2020.

Other Democrats pushed Ratcliffe over the issue of protecting intelligence community whistleblowers. Sen. Diane Feinstein accused Ratcliffe of "participation in President Trump's campaign to punish and discredit" the CIA whistleblower whose complaint set the impeachment process in motion. 

"My issue was not with the whistleblower," Ratcliffe said. "My issue was with what I perceived as a lack of due process in the House (impeachment) process." 

"I want to make it very clear, if confirmed as DNI, every whistleblower, past present and future, will enjoy every protection under the law," he said. 

Following the hearing, committee chairman and fellow Republican Sen. Richard Burr endorsed Ratcliffe, saying he hoped to quickly send the nomination to the full Senate for a vote. 

"After hearing from Congressman Ratcliffe today, I believe he understands the challenges facing the Intelligence Community in the 21st century and is ready to work to meet them," Burr said in a statement.  

Concerns about partisanship 

Some former intelligence officials were not as impressed with Ratcliffe's performance. 

Rolf Mowatt-Larssen, a former senior CIA official who once headed the agency's Europe division, tweeted that Ratcliffe's testimony on Russian election interference should be an "instant disqualification." 

 

"Means he won't defend IC (intelligence community) conclusions even when definitive," Mowatt-Larssen added. "He can't be counted upon to stand up to Russia when US interests are threatened." 

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who served under President Barack Obama, told VOA before the hearing that Ratcliffe's relationship with the intelligence agencies going forward bears watching. 

"If he's confirmed, we'll have to see how he performs," Clapper said. "If he behaves as strictly a Trump loyalist, there will be a lot of blowback from the ranks." 

If confirmed, Ratcliffe would be the first permanent director of national intelligence since last August, when then-DNI Dan Coats resigned

The post is currently filled by Richard Grenell, known as a Trump loyalist, who replaced former Acting Director Joseph Maguire.   

Maguire was reportedly ousted after a top aide told lawmakers in a classified briefing that Russia was seeking to get Trump reelected.

Opposition Leader Denies Ties to Venezuela Invasion Plotters

Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó on Monday denied having anything to do with an ex-Green Beret who claimed responsibility for a deadly beach invasion aimed at arresting socialist leader Nicolás Maduro. The government, meanwhile, said it has mobilized more than 25,000 troops to hunt for other rebel cells. 

Guaidó said in a statement that he has "no relationship nor responsibility for any actions" taken by the U.S. war veteran, Jordan Goudreau, who repeated assertions that Guaidó had a contract with his security company, though he said he was paid only a tiny share of the amount agreed upon. That claim could pose a danger for Guaidó, who has been harassed but not arrested in the year since he declared himself Venezuela's legitimate leader, a role recognized by the U.S. and some 60 other nations.

The three-time Bronze Star U.S. combat veteran claims to have helped organize a seaborne raid from Colombia early Sunday on the Venezuelan coast, which the government said it foiled, killing eight insurgents and arresting two others. He said the operation had received no aid from Guaidó or the U.S. or Colombian governments. 

Goudreau said by telephone Monday that 52 other fighters — including two U.S. veterans — had infiltrated Venezuelan territory and were in the first stage of a mission to recruit members of the security forces to join their cause. 

"That's going to take time," Goudreau told The Associated Press in a phone interview. "The ultimate goal has never changed — it's to liberate Venezuela." 

The government's chief of strategic operations, Adm. Remigio Ceballos, announced that more than 25,000 soldiers were mounting search operations to ensure the country is free of "mercenaries and paramilitaries."

Venezuelan authorities said Monday they arrested another eight accused "mercenaries" in a coastal town and showed images on state TV of several unidentified men handcuffed and lying prone in a street. 

One video depicted security forces handling a man authorities identified as Venezuelan National Guardsman Capt. Antonio Sequea, who participated in a barracks revolt against Maduro a year ago. Goudreau had identified Sequea as a commander working with him on the ground in Venezuela.  

"Venezuela holds the governments of Donald Trump and Colombia's Ivan Duque responsible for the unknown and dangerous consequences of this provocative mercenary aggression," Maduro's government said in a letter to the international community.  

Venezuela's Attorney General Tarek William Saab gives a press conference regarding what the government calls a failed attack over the weekend aimed at overthrowing President Nicolás Maduro in Caracas, Venezuela, May 4, 2020.

The AP was unable to verify either the government's or Goudreau's version of events. Opposition politicians and U.S. authorities issued statements suggesting Maduro's allies had fabricated the assault. Officials have not released the full identities of those they say were killed or detained, though they identified one of the fallen as a man involved with Goudreau's training camp in Colombia. 

An AP investigation published Friday found that Goudreau had been working with a retired Venezuelan army general — who now faces U.S. narcotics charges — to train dozens of deserters from Venezuela's security forces at secret camps inside neighboring Colombia. The goal was to mount a cross-border raid that would end in Maduro's arrest.  

But the ragtag group lacked funding and U.S. government support. It also appears to have been penetrated by Maduro's extensive Cuban-backed intelligence network.  

Goudreau and retired Venezuelan Capt. Javier Nieto, who both live in Florida, issued a video late Sunday claiming they had organized the mission to detain Maduro that they call "Operation Gideon." Goudreau, wearing a New York Yankees cap, spoke in English. 

Goudreau said Monday he's talking with wealthy donors around the world to raise money for the second phase of the mission and hopes to raise a force of up to 5,000, he said.  

"I don't care about politics. I don't care about people's careers," he said. "I care about my men on the ground right now who are in the most dangerous phase of the operation. I'm trying to get financial support in order to save their lives and to help them be successful." 

Goudreau, 43, said 52 of his men were still on the ground and cells were being activated inside Venezuela. He said he hoped to join the rebels soon. There was no outward sign of fighting in the capital or elsewhere on Monday. 

Contract, recording

In an interview late Sunday, Goudreau gave Miami-based journalist Patricia Poleo what he said was an eight-page contract signed by Guaidó and two political advisers in Miami in October for $213 million. The alleged "general services" contract doesn't specify what work his company, Silvercorp USA, was to undertake. 

He also released via Poleo a four-minute audio recording, made on a hidden cellphone, of the moment when he purportedly signed the contract as Guaidó participated by videoconference. In the recording, a person he claims is Guaido can be heard giving vague encouragement in broken English but not discussing any military plans. 

"Let's get to work!" said the man who is purportedly Guaido.  

The AP was unable to confirm the veracity of the recording. 

Goudreau said Monday he received no more than an initial $50,000 payment from the Guaidó team and instead the Venezuelan soldiers he was advising had to scrounge for donations from Venezuelan migrants driving for car share service Uber in Colombia. 

Colombian officials, for their part, denied any involvement in Goudreau's operation and in March announced their had seized weapons that had been destined for Venezuela. 

Venezuelan officials insisted that both Colombia and the U.S. were backing the operation and on Sunday, socialist party chief Diosdado Cabello said that one of the captured insurgents claimed to be an agent of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration — an agency that has accused many members of the government of involvement in drug trafficking. 

Both U.S. and Colombian officials dismissed the Venezuelan allegations.

UConn Huskies men's basketball statistical leaders

Kkuchnir: ←Created page with '250px The '''UConn Huskies men's basketball statistical leaders''' are individual statistical leaders of the U...'


[[File:Connecticut Huskies wordmark.svg|thumb|250px]]

The '''UConn Huskies men's basketball statistical leaders''' are individual statistical leaders of the [[UConn Huskies men's basketball]] program in various categories,<ref name=MG>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> including [[Point (basketball)|points]], [[Three-point field goal|three-pointers]], [[Assist (basketball)|assists]], [[Block (basketball)|blocks]], [[Rebound (basketball)|rebounds]], and [[Steal (basketball)|steals]]. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Huskies represent the [[University of Connecticut]] in the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]]'s [[Big East Conference]].

UConn began competing in intercollegiate basketball in 1900.<ref name="MG" /> However, the school's record book does not generally list records from before the 1950s, as records from before this period are often incomplete and inconsistent. Since scoring was much lower in this era, and teams played much fewer games during a typical season, it is likely that few or no players from this era would appear on these lists anyway.

The NCAA did not officially record assists as a stat until the 1983–84 season, and blocks and steals until the 1985–86 season, but UConn's record books includes players in these stats before these seasons. These lists are updated through the end of the [[2019–20 UConn Huskies men's basketball team|2019–20]] season.

US Defense Secretary: Afghanistan Peace Process 'Behind Schedule'

US Defense Secretary: Afghanistan Peace Process 'Behind Schedule'

U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper says the peace process in Afghanistan is not going as quickly as expected, with the Taliban failing to reduce violence in the war-torn country.

"It's behind schedule," Esper said at a Brookings Institute event on Monday. "We continue to talk to both sides about what they need to do to fully implement the agreement."

Officials had cautiously hoped a peace deal signed in February by the United States and the Taliban would lead to intra-Afghan negotiations that could serve as a new foundation of peace for a country plagued by more than 18 consecutive years of war.

Those intra-Aghan peace efforts stalled, however, as President Ashraf Ghani and the country's chief executive, Abdullah Abdullah, have continued their political battle for power.

FILE - Afghanistan's President Ashraf Ghani, left, and Afghanistan's Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah participate in a family photo at the NATO Summit in Warsaw, Poland, July 8, 2016.

While the Taliban has kept its word on not attacking international forces, according to Esper, attacks from the Taliban against Afghan government forces have increased.

"There has not been a reduction in violence, if you will, from the Taliban side," Esper said at a Brookings Institute event Monday. "On the other hand, they have not attacked us or attacked major metropolitan areas."

Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said Friday the "unacceptably high" number of attacks by the Taliban was "not conducive to a diplomatic solution."

Airstrike reports

The comments come as U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) astounded reporters Monday with a statement that its Air Force component would no longer be providing regular updates on the number of airstrikes in the Middle East theater, to include Afghanistan.

Cmdr. Zachary Harrell, a CENTCOM spokesman, said the change was due to "diplomatic relational concerns, including how the report could adversely impact ongoing discussions with the Taliban regarding Afghanistan peace talks."

"Until such time that this product is determined not be a risk at possibly jeopardizing current relations, the Air Power Summary will not be published," added Harrell.

The command's Air Force component has posted monthly airpower updates online since at least 2013.

The updates have included monthly sortie and strike totals for coalition aircraft in Iraq and Syria since Operation Inherent Resolve began against Islamic State in 2014. That, too, will no longer be provided due to the change.

The last summary of Iraq and Syria strike numbers was posted in February, which was the same month that the U.S. and Taliban peace deal was signed.

The quarterly Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) recently sounded the alarm on the lack of transparency from the U.S.-led international mission in Afghanistan, stating in its report last week that Resolute Support was no longer providing the number of Taliban-initiated attacks.

SIGAR called the Taliban attack numbers "one of the last remaining metrics" of stability and security.

Hoffman said the attack numbers have not been classified and will be released at a future date.

Jeff Seldin contributed to this report from Washington.
