A MORIBUND economy. A multi-billion-dollar corruption scandal at Petrobas (the state-controlled oil giant). The critical need to find savings equal to 1.8% of GDP this year to stave off a credit-ratings downgrade. If all that were not enough for Dilma Rousseff, Brazil’s president, to worry about, March 15th brought the country's largest mass demonstrations since the diretas ja (“elections now”) movement that helped end military dictatorship in 1985. Police reckon 2.2m people took to the streets to protest against the president and her Workers’ Party (PT). ブラジル国内が国営石油企業のPetrobasの大規模汚職事件や建設会社と政治家の腐敗した 関係の暴露で揺れ動く中、先週の大規模抗議行動は1985以来の歴史的な大きさになり参加 者は二百二十万人
The PMDB and PSDB together lack the supermajority in Congress needed to impeach Ms Rousseff. But if the economy continues to founder and more Brazilians begin voicing their discontent on the streets, they could recruit the two dozen smaller parties?and possibly the PT itself, parts of which are already queasy about Ms Rousseff’s new-found zeal for the entitlement cuts and tax rises that are anathema to its traditional working-class base. Such an outcome remains highly unlikely. But it is not inconceivable. 大統領弾劾を求める声が上がっているものの、野党勢力は議会で大統領弾劾を決議できる だけの勢力がない。しかしブラジル経済が下降を続け、有権者の不満が高まることになれ ば少数政党や与党内部からでさえ不満の声が高まるかもしれない。弾劾の可能性は低いが それが有り得ないとは言えない

(Reuters) - Toyota Motor (7203.T) is finalizing plans for its first passenger car assembly plant in Mexico that could be approved by its board as early as next month, according to three people with knowledge of the matter. The plant would make the popular Corolla compact sedan and begin production in 2019. Based on recent investments by rivals, including Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE), a new assembly plant would represent an investment of over $1 billion for Toyota.

Remember ? Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama were all once seen as long shots. You can’t win if you don’t run.

＊民主党には様々の意見があるので、ヒラリーだけが候補というのは不適切である More important, though, the Democratic Party finds itself with some serious divides that ought to be settled by the electorate. Some are clear-cut policy differences, such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, an enormous free-trade agreement with Pacific Rim nations that Warren opposes and Clinton backs. Even in areas where the candidates agree, there are bound to be different priorities: It’s hard to imagine a President Clinton defending and enforcing the Dodd-Frank legislation with as much vigor as a President Warren, for instance.

The French are demanding changes in five main points agreed between Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif before the Iranians quit the talks Friday: 仏蘭西はイランとの交渉で5つの条件を提示して米国を牽制している
●ウラン分離濃縮装置を6,500保有することは認められない They insist that -Iran can’t be allowed to retain all the 6,500 centrifuges (for enriching uranium) conceded by the Americans. This figure must be reduced. ●米国の認めるというイランの濃縮ウラン保有可能料は多杉 Similarly, the stocks of enriched uranium accepted by the US to remain in Iranian hands are too large. ●経済制裁解除の条件として米国の言う15年ではなく25年のモラトリアムを要求 France insists on a longer period of restrictions on Iran's nuclear work before sanctions are eased. It is pushing for a longer moratorium ? 25 years rather than the 15 years offered by the Obama administration ? and guarantees at every stage. ●最大の争点として、経済制裁解除の前提はイランが全ての疑惑について仏蘭西の 満足できる説明・証明を行うこと The main sticking point however is France’s insistence that UN sanctions stay in place until Iran fully explains the evidence that has raised suspicions of past development work on a nuclear warhead design. The Iranians counter that they could never satisfy the French condition, because they would never be able to prove a negative and disprove evidence of a weapons program that is forged.
●イランが機密とする核爆弾開発(疑惑の)施設への調査検査を許可する可能性はない There is no chance of Tehran ever admitting to working on a nuclear warhead ? or allow US inspectors access to suspected testing sites ? because that would belie supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s solemn contention that Iran’s nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes and always has been.
仏蘭西がイランにタフな条件をいう理由は、同国がサウジアラビアとの関係を重視 しているためと見られ・・・ DEBKAfile’s Gulf sources disclose that the tough French bargaining position in the nuclear stems partly from its intense ties with Saudi Arabia and other Gulf nations, including the United Arab Emirates.
サウジアラビア他のアラブ諸国もフランスの後押しをして、オバマ大統領に圧力を・・ Riyadh and Abu Dhabi have been pushing Paris hard not to sign off on the text shaping up between the Obama administration in Tehran because they believe it would place their national security at grave risk.

But will Republicans seize opportunity? 民主党の支持基盤の一つであるシリコンバレー(の新興企業)とハリウッドの エンタメ業界には問題があるので、共和党はこれをつくべきである Glenn Harlan Reynolds
シリコンバレー企業はインド人や中国人のソフトウェア技術者を多用し、安価に使う為に H-1B visasを乱用し、安価な外国人労働力を導入することによって、米国内のソフトウェア 技術者の給与を低く抑えている、という。 First, a much stricter prevailing wage law for H-1B visas, with big damages against violators designed to make plaintiffs' attorneys zero in on this area. You can import foreign help if you want, but you have to pay those Indian or Chinese software engineers the prevailing wage for American software engineers in Silicon Valley, rather than paying the pittance most companies pay now. (In one case, a Silicon Valley firm was paying $1.21 an hour.) There has been a lot of cheating on H-1B visas, and this should help. The tech companies' excuse for hiring immigrants is that they can't find enough qualified Americans, not that they just want to pay sweatshop wages, though that excuse is bogus. Companies also draw out the H-1B application process to keep workers under their thumbs and away from competitors, something called "handcuffing." Maybe shortening the fuse on the application process there would be a good idea, too, or ? again ? creating damages that trial lawyers can exploit. (Most GOP types reflexively hate trial lawyers, but, like Kurt Schlichter, I think it's better to have them working for you than against you).
●ハリウッドの知的所有権の問題について・・ Another big Democratic industry is entertainment, and here too there are lots of opportunities. The motion picture industry has been abusing intellectual property laws for years. Hollywood accounting makes even big money-makers look unprofitable. The recording industry is notorious for ripping off artists. America could use much more in the way of legislation and oversight to remedy these abuses ? which, frankly, have been permitted mostly because the entertainment industry and Silicon Valley have been big donors to the Democratic Party for years.

Singapore After Lee Lee bequeathed to Singapore prosperity and order, but the durability of his legacy is in question.
There is also widespread dissent about PAP’s policy prescription. One particularly unpopular proposal has been to boost the city-state’s population from 5 million to roughly 7 million by 2030, largely through immigration. To help accommodate this growth, planners have suggested building a vast underground city with shopping malls, public spaces, pedestrian links and cycling lanes. Even normally docile and sociable Singaporeans may recoil from spending their lives like Morlocks in H.G. Wells’ Time Machine.
Singapore also has become more dependent on imported labor, not surprising given that it has one of the world’s lowest birth rates. Many Singaporeans feel the foreign influx is turning them into strangers in their own city. In 1980, over 90% of residents were citizens. Today the percentage is 63% and, by 2030, if the government’s plans hold up, foreigners will outnumber the natives.

A high-level Chinese military organization has for the first time formally acknowledged that the country’s military and its intelligence community have specialized units for waging war on computer networks.
The Science of Military Strategy, which is put out by the top research institute of the People’s Liberation Army and is closely read by Western analysts and the U.S. intelligence community. The document is produced “once in a generation,” McReynolds said, and is widely seen as one of the best windows into Chinese strategy. The Pentagon cited the previous edition (PDF), published in 1999, for its authoritative description of China’s “comprehensive view of warfare,” which includes operations in cyberspace.
The new analysis of China’s cyber operations has taken a long time to produce, in part because the latest edition of the The Science of Military Strategy wasn’t released until December 2013, McReynolds said. “It takes a while for this sort of information to filter out into the Western PLA-watcher community, especially since there’s no English translation available yet. It was only last summer that the first of us in the community started to obtain copies of the new SMS and go through its contents; it’s hundreds of pages long.”
McReynolds, who said he reads Chinese, also ran his translations by analysts fluent in the language to ensure the accuracy of his work, he said.(ry
そもそも、例えば姦通罪（首切り死刑のみ）の認定は、シャリーア上も殆んど不可能。 ・・・In Saudi jurisprudence adultery and apostasy merit death, but executions for either are rare because the law makes it hard to secure convictions. Adultery, for example, can be proved by the testimony of witnesses, but they must be four Muslim men who see the sex act itself - proof nearly impossible to obtain.
そして、窃盗（手の切断のみ）で実際に切断刑は殆んど科されない。 And while the Quran says the hands of thieves should be cut off, amputations are rare because of conditions put on the crime and because judges find it distasteful, said Ahmed Juhaimi, a Riyadh lawyer and former prosecutor. Just one amputation for theft was reported in 2014, for example.・・・
首切り死刑が宣告されても、被害者の相続人の一人でも死刑に反対すれば執行はされない。 助ければ功徳を積むことになる。また、相続人が未成年の時は、成年になって執行させるか 助けるかを判断できるようになるまで、執行は延期される。 Mr. Yehiya was sentenced to death as retribution, meaning that only the victim’s heirs could pardon him. But he was spared immediate death because every one of the heirs must agree, and the victim’s youngest son was only 3, making him years short of the legal age for consent, which is 15. So Mr. Yehiya went to prison to wait for the boy to grow up before he could agree to have his father’s killer’s head cut off. Many Muslims believe that saving a life, even that of a murderer, earns one rewards in heaven, so the possibility of a pardon by the victims’ heirs has opened a realm of activism aimed at stopping executions.・・・ www.nytimes.com/2015/03/23/world/middleeast/a-murder-a-death-sentence-and-the-unpredictable-nature-of-saudi-justice.html

The Clintons are like the “Peanuts” character Pigpen ? wherever they go, it seems, their own private dust storm follows. Now Hillary Clinton is enveloped in the cloud of scandal again ? and based on her performance so far, it appears she has the same penchant for scandal as her husband, but without the political talent to overcome it. ヒラリークリントンは、“Peanuts”漫画のキャラであるPigpenに似ている。いつもその 行き先には、何かしら騒動がつきまとう。そしてまたもや、ヒラリーはスキャンダルに 見舞われている。彼女の記者会見から解ることは、ヒラリーは夫と同じようにスキャンダ ルを気にしないのだが、夫と異なって、政治的問題を回避する才能には欠けている。 (これに続いて電子メール疑惑とクリントン基金への外国政府や企業の献金の解説、省略)
Already, the scandals are putting a dent in Clinton’s armor. A new Reuters-Ipsos poll shows that Clinton’s support has dropped about 15 percentage points since mid-February among Democrats, and 74 percent say Clinton was dishonest in her news conference about the e-mails. 既にこのスキャンダルはヒラリーの好感度に悪影響を与えていて、最新のReuters-Ipsos 世論調査では、民主党支持者のヒラリーの支持率は2月中旬のスキャンダル発覚当時から 15％低下している。さらに74％が、記者会見での彼女の言辞は正直ではないという。
Democrats should be terrified by all this. If she announces, Clinton would be running essentially unopposed for the Democratic nomination. Her main competition would be Martin O’Malley, a man whose legacy is the loss of deep-blue Maryland’s governorship to a Republican for only the second time since Spiro Agnew. If the scandal grows, as appears increasingly likely, there is no credible candidate to pick up the Democratic mantle. 民主党はこれを恐れるべきで、このままスキャンダルが拡大すれば、そうなる可能性が 大きそうに見えるのだが、民主党大統領候補として選ぶべき信頼できる人材がなくなる But there could be. This is Elizabeth Warren’s opening, if she chooses to take it. でも、候補者はいるかも知れなくて、エリザベス・ウォーレンが出馬すればそうなる The corruption surrounding the Clinton Foundation should appall Warren, who has made her name arguing that the “game is rigged” in favor of powerful special interests. Foreign governments and foreign corporations with ties to those governments funneling millions to the Clinton Foundation while Clinton was leading the State Department is just the kind of cronyism Warren ran to fight against. クリントン基金への外国政府や外国大企業の献金が問題になれば、特権的な利権を批判 してきたエリザベス・ウォーレンにとって有利である。国務長官の任にありながら、そ うした資金を得ることは縁故主義というべきで、ウォーレンの戦ってきたものである。 If Warren entered the race, she has a real shot at the nomination. もしエリザベス・ウォーレンが大統領選に出馬すれば民主党候補になる現実的可能性を 有する ・・・But in the face of the twin scandals, Clinton is now looking like a far riskier proposition. Moreover, her fumbling of the e-mail and foundation revelations, together with her ham-handed book launch and other unforced errors (she and Bill were “dead broke” when they left the White House), is exposing her political tin ear. (ヒラリーは依然として民主党の本命候補であるけれど)2つのスキャンダルの発生で、以 前よりもリスキーな存在に見える。 The more Hillary Clinton stumbles, the more electable Elizabeth Warren looks. そういうわけでヒラリーがつまずくと、それだけエリザベス・ウォーレンの可能性が増す

This has happened, as an increasingly ambitious "Run Warren Run" movement has taken shape in Iowa, New Hampshire and other states.
The second element is trickier. To the grassroots mobilization must be added a measure of elite opinion that might tip a reluctant prospect (as Warren surely is) toward serious consideration of a candidacy. Prominent figures with something to lose, or perhaps to gain, must step up to support the draft effort. That began to happen when former secretary of labor Robert Reich, who served in the administration of President Bill Clinton and was seen as a likely supporter of presumed 2016 Democratic fron-trunner Hillary Clinton, said early in March that Hillary Clinton should face a primary challenge and "I wish that challenger would be Elizabeth Warren."
