USA news on Youtube Jun 21 2018

Following the launch of the V60 wagon at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, we knew it was only

a matter of time until its S60 sedan sibling showed up.

The redesigned Volvo S60 shares its styling, engineering, and tech with the V60 and other

recent Volvo models, but one thing will set the sedan apart.

Volvo will build it at a brand-new factory near Charleston, South Carolina, making the

S60 the first Volvo built in the United States.

The made-in-America sedan goes on sale later this year, likely as a 2019 model.

The S60 shares the now-familiar Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform with the V60,

as well as the XC60 SUV and Volvo's large 90-series models (S90 sedan, V90 wagon, XC90

SUV).

Those other SPA-based vehicles have impressed us with luxurious driving experiences, so

we have high expectations for the S60.

Exterior and interior styling is also shared with other recent Volvos, but that's not

a bad thing.

On the outside, the S60 looks like a shrunken S90, giving it a handsome, distinctly Volvo

appearance.

On the inside, the S60 gets the same Sensus infotainment system as its siblings, complete

with portrait-oriented touchscreen and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility.

Volvo plans to offer hybrid and all-electric powertrains in every model beginning in 2019,

but they won't be mandatory.

In the U.S., the S60 will be offered with two stand-alone gasoline powertrains and one

plug-in hybrid option.

The base front-wheel drive T5 uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 250

horsepower, and the all-wheel-drive T6 sports a 2.0-liter four that's both turbocharged

and supercharged, with 313 hp.

The T8 Twin Engine model is a plug-in hybrid that adds electric assist to the T6's gasoline

engine for a combined 400 hp.

Volvo will also offer a sportier Polestar Engineered version of the T8 with an additional

15 hp, plus model-specific wheels, brakes, and suspension.

The new S60 will be the first Volvo model sold without a diesel engine option, but since

Volvo didn't offer a diesel version of the old S60 in the U.S., that doesn't make much

of a difference to buyers here.

The S60 will get Volvo's formidable array of driver aids.

Highlights include City Safety, which automatically applies the brakes if it detects pedestrians,

cyclists, large animals, or oncoming cars, and Pilot Assist, which can take over steering,

braking, and acceleration on well-marked roads at speeds up to 80 mph.

Volvo will offer the S60 through its Care by Volvo subscription service, which bundles

the purchase price, insurance, and maintenance into one monthly fee.

Customers can choose between the S60 T6 Momentum model at $775 a month, or the S60 T8 R-Design

at $850 a month.

Volvo is currently accepting reservations.

Customers going the traditional purchase route will pay $35,800 for a base T5 model, $40,300

for a T6, and $54,400 for the T8 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid.

Volvo didn't list pricing for the Polestar Engineered version

of the T8.

World Cup beer shortage: Will beer and fizzy drinks run out for World Cup due to low CO2? - US News - Duration: 3:02.

 The shortage has been described as the "worst supply situation to hit the European carbon dioxide (CO2) business in decades", according to trade journal Gas World

 CO2 is used to carbonate drinks - putting the fizz into brand favourites such as Carling and Coca-Cola

 The potential booze drought in Britain's pubs and supermarkets has been caused by a prolonged break in ammonia production in Europe

 The 's crisis is particularly acute as it only had one major CO2 plant still open this week

Will beer and fizzy drinks run out for World Cup due to low CO2? Major brewers and pub chains are warning beer taps could run dry as early as next week, with half the football tournament still to play

 Sam Millard, of Beaverton Brewery, told i: "It's going to affect everyone. "The CO2 shortage has hit at absolutely the wrong time of year – the height of summer and the World Cup is when people want to be down the pub, drinking beer, or they want to get cans to take home

 "We can modify our processes for this week which will see us through…but if it goes on any longer than that then we'll just have to halt packaging

" Wetherspoons spokesman Eddie Gershon said the pub chain is also predicting "shortages in pubs and other hospitality outlets", although he did not specify a date

 Soft drink producers are already "looking at alternative sources", said the British Soft Drinks Association in a statement

 The warning comes as supermarkets brace for bumper sales of alcohol and soft drinks over the next two weeks, bolstered by hot weather

 Britain is set to bake in 3C temperatures, which is usually cause for a run on the shops for ice-cold refreshments

 Summer is also the peak time for festivals, summer barbecues and outdoor dining - all of which feature beer and soft drinks

Is meat affected? The problems also extend to meat products as CO2 is used in packing for fresh meat and salads

 The British Meat Processors Association (BMPA) stated it was "very concerned" about the shortage

 BMPA deputy director Fiona Steiger said: "We are getting very concerned. It's different for every member

Anyone who uses CO2 will have individual contracts with suppliers, and each supplier has different amounts

 "Supply is running out and it's pretty tight for some people. Others hope to be able to see it out

 "We don't know when supplies will be back up. We've been told it could be about a month

"

Immigration policy draws protest despite Trump action: What we know now - Duration: 7:38.

Immigration policy draws protest despite Trump action: What we know now

Hundreds of protesters chanting I believe we will win gathered at LaGuardia Airport in New York overnight awaiting flights believed to be carrying immigrant children separated from their families at the Mexican border.

The rally was one of several held across the nation protesting President Donald Trumps zero tolerance immigration policy, hours after Trump signed an executive order aimed at halting the separation of children from their families.

Thank you to all New Yorkers who showed up to share love and commitment to fight for immigrants, said Cristina Jimenez, co-founder of the youth immigrant network United We Dream that helped organize the protest.

Activists took to social media Wednesday to rally support for the protest after learning that children were being flown from the border to New York for placement in area youth programs.

 The demonstration began Wednesday, with some resolute protesters waiting into Thursday hoping to catch a glimpse of the kids.

I saw four little children being walked by a transport guardian into a van, who had their belongings in a plastic bag, who looked petrified, Stosh Cotler, CEO of Bend the Arc: Jewish Action, told CNN.

This is the moment when everyone in this country has to recognize what is happening right now to immigrant families, children, parents..

Protesters sang We Shall Overcome and waved signs saying We love you and We are with you.

Crowds are gathering at LaGuardia airport tonight with a message: Children should never have been separated from their parents in the first place, the ACLU said in a Facebook post.

We must be as loud as possible: This cruelty will not stand..

Earlier Wednesday, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said the federal government would not reveal how many children had been sent to the area but added he learned 239 children were at one program alone.

"How is it possible that none of us knew that there were 239 kids right here in our own city?" he asked.

"How is the federal government holding back that information from the people of this city and holding back the help these kids could need?".

House could vote on immigration bills today.

The most promising proposal faces steep odds, however.

It would allow an estimated 1.8 million Dreamers to apply for "nonimmigrant status" if they meet certain conditions.

Those that get the status would, after six years, qualify to apply for a green card and join the path to eventual citizenship. To assuage immigration hardliners, the measure would end a diversity lottery program and limit family-based immigration.

The visas from those programs would be used for the Dreamers and then dry up. .

Trump walks back policy under pressure.

Trump signed the executive order after days of protests from across the political spectrum, including Republican lawmakers who expressed concerns about their re-election prospects, according to current and former administration officials. Pressure also came from within his own family. Ivanka Trump had been working with top GOP lawmakers — including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California and Sen.

Susan Collins of Maine — to find a way out, said a White House official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive discussions within the first family.

Children claim abuse in Virginia center.

Immigrant children as young as 14 housed at a juvenile detention center in Virginia say they were beaten while handcuffed and locked up for long periods in solitary confinement, left nude and shivering in concrete cells. The abuse claims against the Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Center near Staunton, Virginia, are detailed in federal court filings that include a half-dozen sworn statements from Latino teens jailed there for months or years.

Multiple detainees say the guards stripped them of their clothes and strapped them to chairs with bags placed over their heads.

Small Texas town a focus of struggle.

The Texas border town of McAllen is home to the U.S.

Border Patrol's McAllen Station, the busiest point of entry for apprehending and detaining immigrants suspected of entering the country illegally, and protests have erupted around the area.

"It's about time the whole country wakes up and says 'This is wrong,'" said Sister Norma Pimentel, who runs a respite center for migrants in this border town of about 130,000 people.

"This is their suffering.

But I've been seeing this suffering for four years, or more.".

What is the zero tolerance policy?.

In April, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced a "zero tolerance policy requiring arrest of all immigrants who attempted to enter the country along the Mexican border without going through legal border crossings.

Before that, adults who crossed the border illegally by themselves often faced arrest, but anyone who brought a child with them would not be prosecuted.

Sessions said the practice of bringing children became a form of immunity he wanted to end.

We cannot and will not encourage people to bring children by giving them blanket immunity from our laws, he said.

Supreme Court allows states to collect sales taxes on more online transactions - Duration: 7:06.

Supreme Court allows states to collect sales taxes on more online transactions

WASHINGTON -- A closely divided Supreme Court upended the nations Internet marketplace Thursday, ruling that states can collect sales taxes from most online retailers.

The decision, which overturns an earlier Supreme Court precedent, will boost state revenues at the expense of consumers and sellers who have avoided sales taxes in the past.

Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the 5-4 decision, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch.

Chief Justice John Roberts dissented, saying the decision should be left to Congress, and was joined by Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.

Kennedy said the courts 25- and 50-year-old precedents requiring sales tax collection only from physically present businesses represent a judicially created tax shelter for businesses that decide to limit their physical presence and still sell their goods and services to a states consumers.

Faced with a South Dakota law that exempted online retailers with less than $100,000 in annual sales or 200 annual transactions in the state, the justices nevertheless opened the door to states that may want to collect sales taxes from smaller sellers.

Kennedy said Congress could step in to set limits.

If some small businesses with only de minimus contacts seek relief from collection systems thought to be a burden, those entities may still do so under other theories, Kennedy said.

But the potential for problems, he said, cannot justify retaining this artificial, anachronistic rule that deprives states of vast revenues from major businesses..

The high court ruled in 1967 and again in 1992 that companies without a physical presence in a state did not have to collect sales taxes.

But those rulings applied mostly to mail-order catalog companies.

In 1992, Amazon had not yet begun selling books out of Jeff Bezos garage.

In its challenge, South Dakota noted that times have changed, with online sales growing at four times the rate of total retail sales.

As a result, state and local governments in 45 states lose billions of dollars annually in taxes.

(Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon do not have sales taxes.).

In response, online sellers Wayfair, Overstock.com and Newegg, said online retailers could face some 12,000 local tax jurisdictions if the Supreme Court sided with the states.

They warned of economic chaos -- at least until Congress steps in.

In his dissent, Roberts warned that the decision could detract from E-commerces significant and vibrant part of our national economy.

This court should not act on this important question of current economic policy, solely to expiate a mistake it made over 50 years ago, Roberts said.

When the court ruled in 1967 and 1992 that Illinois and North Dakota could not squeeze sales taxes from sellers with no presence in those states, there wasnt nearly as much at stake.

Now consumers do nearly 10% of their shopping online, a share that will grow exponentially in the future.

Congress protected those Internet sellers in 1998 legislation that has since been made permanent.

Then in 2000, a national commission urged states to simplify their tax systems as a precursor to taxing remote sellers. Twenty-four states eventually did so, but the nations largest states, with 70% of the U.S.

population, did not. .

Stymied by the Supreme Court rulings and the Internet Tax Freedom Act, states have done their best to collect taxes on residents out-of-state purchases.

That has created a patchwork of laws. More than 20 states define a sellers physical presence as including any affiliated website.

Ten states require out-of-state sellers to notify buyers and inform states of the unpaid sales taxes.

The Supreme Court in 2015 unanimously upheld Colorados law requiring those notices and reports.

Most of the top 20 online sellers already collect taxes in nearly all states, either because they have added local showrooms or warehouses, or because of state laws.

The top 100 retail sellers remit about 90% of the taxes owed. .

But many smaller online retailers are women, minorities, veterans and people with disabilities who have taken advantage of the protections granted by the Supreme Court and Congress over the years.

The typical retailer on eBay sells between $10,000 and $500,000 annually, with customers in more than 300 tax jurisdictions.

Etsys sellers are even smaller: Nearly eight in 10 are sole proprietors, nearly nine in 10 are women, and nearly all are based in homes.

Average annual sales: $1,710.

Time magazine cover places iconic photo of crying immigrant child at Trump's feet

As thousands of immigrant children have been separated from their parents at the U.

-Mexico border, Time magazines July cover places the blame on President Donald Trump.

In a photo illustration revealed Thursday, the iconic image of a 2-year-old Honduran girl cries, glaring up at an image of Trump looking down at her.

Cover text simply states: Welcome to America. The photo of the toddler was captured June 12 by Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer John Moore, who watched the girl wailing as border patrol agents questioned her mother in McAllen, Texas. .

U.S.

Customs and Border Protection confirmed earlier this week that the mother and child are together, but the photograph has become a national symbol of the heartbreak some families are facing as they enter the U.S. .

Time staff said in a statement the image was selected to become part of the July 2 magazine cover to illustrate the most visible symbol of the immigration debate in America.

Times cover story asks a pointed question: What kind of country are we? The piece questions Trumps values and the administrations motives behind immigration policies.
