Sarah Sanders to Acosta: Thanks for 'Explaining Why Walls Work'

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders thanked CNN’s Jim Acosta on Twitter Thursday for a video in which he intended to demonstrate that there was no “crisis” at the border by describing the tranquility of the border near a spot with a wall.

When I went with President @realDonaldTrump to the border today I never imagined @Acosta would be there doing our job for us and so clearly explaining why WALLS WORK. Thanks Jim! https://t.co/7wC4rdEsZ2

Raucous protests against California utility PG&E that is facing wildfire claims

Protesters took over a California utility commission meeting on Thursday, loudly venting their anger at the state's largest power company over its alleged role in the state's deadliest-ever wildfire, the Camp Fire.

Demonstrators solemnly read the names of 86 people killed in the blaze in November as the California Public Utilities Commission rushed through its agenda at the meeting Thursday in San Francisco, according to NBC Bay Area.

Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) is facing lawsuits alleging that itimproperly maintained towers in Butte County that sparked the horrific fire.

The company said in regulatory documents just after the Camp Fire in November that it may face significant liabilities related to wildfires.

The raucous protest at Thursday's meeting belied a rather pro forma board action — a unanimous vote ordering commission staff to develop "criteria and a methodology" to calculate how damages that should be paid by an investor-owned utility.

But protesters' real targets appeared to be state lawmakers over the possibility that the California legislature or taxpayers may rescue Pacific Gas & Electric if the utility giant is hit with billions of dollars in liabilities.

German Police Seek Help In Finding Parcel Bomber With MAC Address

German police are seeking your help in gathering information related to a MAC address that could lead to the cell phone device used by a DHL blackmailer who last year parceled out bombs at different addresses in Brandenburg and Berlin.

Between November 2017 and April 2018, someone used German parcel delivery service DHL to sent out several so-called improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in packets, demanding €10 million worth of bitcoins from the parcel service.

In one event, a parcel containing nails, screws, and fireworks explosive powder was received by a pharmacy adjacent to the German Christmas market during 2017 Christmas, which eventually caused the evacuation of the market.

Surgeries in Mexico linked to antibiotic-resistant infections in US, CDC says

All of the travelers diagnosed with the life-threatening bacteria, carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa or CRPA, had undergone invasive medical procedures. The most common procedure was weight-loss surgery, the CDC said. The agency did not say when the surgeries took place or how many patients were infected.

“Infections caused by this particular drug-resistant Pseudomonas are rare in the United States and difficult to treat,” the CDC said. Patients typically require long and “complex antibacterial drug combinations and courses” to defeat the infection.

Nearly half of the infected patients had undergone surgery at Grand View Hospital in Tijuana; the rest had undergone surgeries at other hospitals and clinics in the area.

The CDC says the Mexican government has closed Grand View Hospital “until further notice,” but the agency still suggests that travelers not have surgery there until the authorities have confirmed that the drug-resistant bacteria are no longer present.

Pharmaceutical companies deepening their strategic focus on Africa – Access to Medicine Report

The new Access to Medicine Index notes increasing interest from multinational pharmaceutical companies in doing business in Africa that benefits people on lower incomes. However, the 2018 Index also finds important gaps in where pharmaceutical companies are registering new products on the African continent.

The Access to Medicine Index ranks 20 of the world’s largest research-based pharmaceutical companies on how they are improving access to medicine in low- and middle-income countries. In 2018, the Index reports that four of these companies are implementing or expanding commercial models in Africa that serve people on very low incomes. Several of these models focus on products for heart disease, diabetes and other non-communicable diseases, which are on the rise globally.
