6B – Daily News – Saturday, July 24, 2010 WORLD BRIEFING BPpoised to abandon vigil over leaky oil well ON THE GULF OF MEXICO (AP) — Ships relaying the sights and sounds from BP’s broken oil well stood fast Friday as the leftovers of Tropical Storm Bonnie blew straight for the spill site, threatening to force a full evacuation that would leave engineers clueless about whether a makeshift cap on the gusher was holding. Vessels connected to deep-sea robots equipped with cameras and seismic devices would be among the last to flee and would ride out the rough weather if possible, retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said. ‘‘If conditions allow, they will remain through the passage of the storm,’’ Allen said in New Orleans. Bonnie made landfall south of Miami early Friday as a feeble tropical storm with top sustained winds of 40 mph. It broke apart as it crossed Florida and was a tropical depression as it moved into the Gulf, but forecasters expected it to strengthen slightly and roll over the spill site around midday Saturday. The ships holding the robots would be among the first to return if forecasts force them to leave, but they could be gone for up to two days, said Allen, the federal govern- ment’s spill chief. Dems must decide how to handle Rangel WASHINGTON (AP) — Democ- rats nervously anticipating Rep. Charles Rangel’s ethics trial know all about the media frenzy and negative ads accompanying election-season scandals. They generated it them- selves in 2006, when Republican Rep. Mark Foley was forced to resign in disgrace. Foley’s misdeeds stemmed from his dealings with House pages and efforts by Republicans, then in the majority, to ignore and cover them up. Rangel’s ethics charges raise questions about his management of money and taxes and his official role — and pose difficult choices for the party that won its majority in large part by vowing to run the most ethi- cal Congress in history. Rangel has long acknowledged that his ethics troubles had no upside for Democrats in difficult re-election bids. The good news, he said at a news conference Friday, was that per- haps the matter would soon end. Not if Republicans, still feeling the decisive sting of the Foley scan- dal, can help it. ‘‘Rangel announcement a reminder of Washington Democrats’ ’Most Glaring Broken Promise,’’’ read the headline on a news release quoting House Republican Leader John Boehner. NKorea threatens ’physical response’ HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — North Korea inflamed tensions over the deadly sinking of a South Korean warship by threatening the United States and South Korea on Friday with a ‘‘physical response’’ if they carry out naval maneuvers this week- end. The U.S. refused to back down. The latest threat came four months after the sinking of a South Korean warship that killed 46 sailors. The North has been blamed, but vehe- mently denies any involvement. In Vietnam for a Southeast Asian regional security forum, U.S. Secre- tary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and a North Korean official traded barbs over the sinking, the four-day military drills beginning Sunday and the imposition of new U.S. sanctions against the North. Also Friday, the U.S.-led military command monitoring the cease-fire on the Korean peninsula confronted the North about the March 26 sinking of the Cheonan, calling it a violation of the armistice that ended the 1950- 53 Korean war. Colonels from the U.N. Command, who met at the bor- der with counterparts from the North’s army, reminded them of the U.N. Security Council order to honor the truce. Officers also proposed a joint task force to discuss armistice violations, the military commission said in a statement. A team of international investiga- tors concluded in May that a North Korean submarine fired the torpedo that sank the Cheonan. The U.N. Security Council approved a presi- dential statement this month con- demning the sinking, but did not directly blame Pyongyang. White House predicts record $1.47 trillion deficit this year WASHINGTON (AP) — New esti- mates from the White House on Fri- day predict the budget deficit will reach a record $1.47 trillion this year. The government is borrowing 41 cents of every dollar it spends. That’s actually a little better than the administration predicted in Feb- ruary. The new estimates paint a grim unemployment picture as the econo- my experiences a relatively jobless recovery. The unemployment rate, presently averaging 9.5 percent, would average 9 percent next year under the new estimates. The Office of Management and Budget report has ominous news for President Barack Obama should he seek re-election in 2012 — a still- high unemployment rate of 8.1 per- cent. That would be well above nor- mal, which is closer to a rate of 5.5 percent to 6 percent. Private econo- mists don’t think the unemployment rate will drop to those levels until well into this decade. ‘‘The U.S. economy still faces strong headwinds,’’ the OMB report said. They include tight credit mar- kets, a high inventory of unsold hous- ing and retrenchment by state gov- ernments bound by balanced budget mandates. The European debt crisis has also had an impact.
