4A Daily News – Friday, July 5, 2013 WORLD BRIEFING Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood leader arrested CAIRO (AP) — A senior judge was sworn in as Egypt's interim president Thursday to replace ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi as the military launched a major crackdown against the Muslim Brotherhood. Reeling from what it called a military coup against democracy, the group said it would not work with the new political system. The sweep against the Brotherhood leadership included the group's top leader, a figure venerated among its followers, General Guide Mohammed Badie. He was arrested late Wednesday from a villa where he had been staying at a Mediterranean coastal city and flown by helicopter to Cairo, security officials said. The move against the Brotherhood raises deep questions over how Islamists will fit into Egypt's new political system after the military on Wednesday swept out Morsi, the country's first freely elected president. The military is installing a new civilian leadership to pave the way to new elections, saying it will stay out of politics. The army says it did so in the name of millions of Egyptians who had taken to streets demanding he be removed. In the eyes of protesters, Morsi and the Brotherhood from which he hails had warped the democratic process. Many of them say the group has proven its anti-democratic nature and argue that its leaders committed prosecutable crimes. But the Brotherhood remains a powerful force, with a highly organized membership nationwide. CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian authorities shut down four Islamist TV stations, banned the Muslim Brotherhood's newspaper and raided the office of Al-Jazeera's Egypt affiliate in crackdown on media considered sympathetic to ousted President Mohammed Morsi, bringing an outcry Thursday from rights groups. Rights groups said the moves appeared to be an attempt to intimidate proMorsi media and shut off their viewpoints. Among the shuttered stations was the Misr25 channel, run by the Brotherhood. It went off the air Wednesday night just as it was airing pro-Morsi protesters chanting ''Down with military rule'' after Egypt's military chief announced that Morsi had been removed. The military's move came after four days of massive anti-Morsi protests demanding the country's first freely elected president step Morales said Thursday that the rerouting of his plane over suspicions that National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden was on board was a plot by the U.S. to intimidate him and other Latin American leaders. Morales, long a fierce critic of U.S. policy toward Latin America, received a hero's welcome from a cheering crowd in La Paz airport late Wednesday night. His return followed a dramatic, unplanned 14hour layover in Vienna that ignited an international diplomatic row. Bolivia's government said France, Spain and Portugal refused to let the president's plane through their airspace, forcing it to land in Austria. He was flying home from a summit in Russia. Latin American leaders were outraged by the incident, calling it a violation of national sovereignty and a slap in the face for a region that has suffered through humilia- drifting emissions from Rust Belt states. Just ask Gary Long, the president of the Public Service Co. of New Hampshire, the state's largest electric company. Long says the president's plan to impose limits on carbon dioxide emissions suddenly raises questions about the fate of the state's two coal-fired power plants, electricity rates for millions of customers and the ability to find new energy sources. And he also notes that New England has already invested billions of dollars in cleaner energy, agreed to cap its own carbon pollution and crafted plans to import Canadian hydroelectric power. ''New Hampshire's always been ahead of the curve,'' he says. ''Does no good deed go unpunished?'' down. In a statement, the Brotherhood said the shutdowns were a return to the ''repressive'' policies of Egypt's ''dark ... ages.'' Bolivia's Morales says plane dispute Rights was used to groups decry intimidate Egypt other leaders LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) crackdown — Bolivian President Evo tions by Europe and several U.S.-backed military coups. Several South American presidents were headed to the Bolivian city of Cochabamba on Thursday to show their support for the leftist leader. Morales said the incident involving his plane was a provocation to the region, and he urged European nations to ''free themselves'' from the U.S. ''The United States is using its agent (Snowden) and the president (of Bolivia) to intimidate the whole region,'' he said. Firefighters expect to contain 85 percent of Ariz. fire PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) — Fire officials say they expect to have a deadly Arizona blaze up to 85 percent contained by Thursday night. Operations section chief Carl Schwope of a multiagency incident team says the blaze isn't actively burning and crews have been working to ensure any embers are out cold. It was 45 percent contained Thursday afternoon. Yavapai County Sheriff Scott Mascher says Peeples Valley residents will be able to return home Thursday evening. Mascher says only those who can show proof of residency will be allowed past a checkpoint. Evacuation orders for Yarnell remain in place.

A feature of Court says Congress can rewrite Voting Act ATLANTA (AP) — When the U.S. Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights act last week, it handed Republicans tough questions with no easy answers over how, and where, to attract voters even GOP leaders say the party needs to stay nationally competitive. The decision caught Republicans between newfound state autonomy that conservatives covet and the law's popularity among minority, young and poor voters who tend to align with Democrats. It's those voters that Republicans are eyeing to expand and invigorate the GOP's core of older, white Americans. National GOP Chairman Reince Priebus began that effort well before the court's decision by promising, among other initiatives, to hire nonwhite party activists to engage directly with black and Latino voters. Yet state and national Republicans reacted to the Voting Rights Act decision with a flurry of activity and comments that may not fit neatly into the national party's vision. Congressional leaders must decide whether to try to rewrite the provision the court struck, but it's not clear how such an effort would fare in the Democratic-led Senate and the GOP-controlled House. • Premium Digital Hearing Aids for every budget Ask about our Open Fit Technology Discreet and Comfortable • FREE hearing evaluations • Service/Repair, all makes and models • Batteries & accessories 10:00 am - 3:00 pm Limited Appointments CALL • Low monthly payment plan available 1-800-488-9906 • Trial Period/ Satisfaction Guaranteed LOST Large Reward Family Heirloom • Preferred provider for most insurance plans: Including PERS, Carpenters, Blue Cross/ Blue Shield, etc. Powered by OwnLocal (530) 527-2151 LONDON (AP) — British police say they have launched a full investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, and want to trace 38 ''persons of interest'' in the case. Detectives say it's possible that Madeleine, who vanished from a Portuguese holiday resort six years ago, is still alive. Scotland Yard said Thursday that 12 of the individuals of interest are British, and the rest from a variety of European countries. The force says it is working with governments across the continent to find out more. McCann vanished from a vacation home in Portugal's Algarve region on May 3, 2007, days before her fourth birthday. The case has generated intense media interest. Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood said police ''continue to believe that there is a possibility that Madeleine is alive.''
