WORLD IN BRIEF
ister Sergei Ryabkov as saying that Moscow and Washington
are “close to reaching an understanding” on Aleppo but warned
against “high expectations.”
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Min-
ister Sergey Lavrov met on Wednesday in Germany but didn’t
release any statements.
Ryabkov said the Kerry-Lavrov talks were extensive but said
a final deal has not been worked out yet.

Obama and Trump hurled
insults, now trade pleasantries
WASHINGTON — Did anyone see it coming, the appar-
ent new rapport between President Barack Obama and Presi-
dent-elect Donald Trump?
Just a few months ago they were regularly flinging insults back
and forth. Today they’re trading phone calls and pleasantries.
Apparently, membership in one of the world’s most exclusive
clubs, the club of U.S. presidents, has a way of changing things.
On Wednesday, Trump talked about letting bygones be
bygones.
“I’ve now gotten to know President Obama. I really like him,”
he said on NBC’s “Today” after Time magazine announced him
as its Person of the Year. “We have, I think I can say, at least for
myself, I can’t speak for him, but we have a really good chemis-
try together. We talk.”

quake zone; deaths reach 102

MEUREUDU, Indonesia — Humanitarian organizations
descended on Indonesia’s Aceh province today as the local disas-
ter agency called for urgent food supplies and officials raced to
assess the full extent of damage from an earthquake that killed
more than 100 people.
Volunteers and nearly 1,500 rescue personnel concentrated
their search on the hard-hit town of Meureudu in Pidie Jaya dis-
trict near the epicenter of the magnitude 6.5 quake that hit before
dawn Wednesday. But the small number of heavy excavators on
the scene meant progress was slow. Humanitarian assessment
teams fanned out to other areas of the district.
National Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesman Sutopo
Purwo Nugroho said the death toll had risen to 102 and warned
it could increase. Search teams were using devices that detect
mobile phone signals within a 100-meter (yard) radius to help
guide their efforts as they scoured the rubble. The disaster agency
said more than 750 people were injured.
Those killed included very young children and the elderly.
Mohammad Jafar, 60, said his daughter, granddaughter and
grandson died in the quake but he was resigned to it as “God’s
will.”
He was getting ready for morning prayers when the earth-
quake hit. He said he and his wife managed to push their way
out through the debris. Another man said he found his 9-year-
old daughter alive beneath a broken wall at his neighbor’s
house.

A similar sign will go up in Newport Thursday marking the
same distance, 3,365 miles, to Boston should drivers want to
travel the entire way eastbound on Route 20.
The road passes through 12 states on its path between the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Portland OKs tax on companies
with high-paid CEOs
PORTLAND — The Portland City Council has approved a
first-of-its-kind tax on public companies that pay their chief exec-
utives vastly more than they pay an average worker.
The Oregonian reports that on Wednesday the council
approved the plan, which targets publicly traded companies
whose chief executives report salaries at least 100 times higher
than the salary of a median worker.
Under the ordinance, a company with a CEO-to-worker ratio
of at least 100-to-1 will pay a surcharge equal to 10 percent of the
amount it pays for Portland’s business tax.
Officials expect the tax to raise $2.5 million year once it starts
in January 2017.
Commissioner Steve Novick says he hopes the tax will dis-
courage companies from paying disproportionate salaries to their
CEOs.

MOSCOW — A Russian deputy foreign minister says Russia
is close to reaching a deal with the United States on a cease-fire
for the besieged Syrian city of Aleppo.
The Syrian government and its ally Russia have rejected pre-

offensive that has squeezed and forced rebels to retreat in sev-

BUSIN ESS D IRE CTORY
A RBORIST
OAKLAND, Calif. — The fire that killed 36 people during
a party at an Oakland warehouse started on the ground floor
and quickly raged, with smoke billowing into the second level
and trapping victims whose only escape route was through the
flames, federal investigators said Wednesday.
“The occupants were consumed by smoke before they could
get out of the building,” said Jill Snyder, special agent in charge
of the San Francisco office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives.
She also confirmed there were no sprinklers or fire alarm sys-
tem in the building.
Officials previously said recovery efforts at the site had ended
with the death toll remaining at 36.
Snyder reiterated that investigators were examining a refriger-
ator and other possibilities as a potential source of the fire but had
not reached any conclusions. Investigators have not found evi-
dence of arson, but she said they have also not ruled it out.

SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea’s opposition-con-
trolled parliament introduced an impeachment motion today
against President Park Geun-hye, setting up a likely vote Fri-
day on whether to suspend her powers over a huge political
scandal.
A parliamentary official reported the motion to a plenary ses-
sion, which means an impeachment vote must take place between
24 and 72 hours. Friday is the final day of the current parliamen-
tary regular session.
The motion needs two-thirds approval in the 300-seat sin-
gle-chamber parliament to pass. The opposition and anti-Park
independents have 172 seats and they appear to have secured
enough support from ruling party dissenters to pass an impeach-
ment, according to political observers.
If the vote passes, the country’s Constitutional Court will have
up to 180 days to determine whether to formally end Park’s pres-
idency. During that time Park would be suspended as president
but not removed, with her duties, including commander in chief
of South Korea’s 630,000-member military, temporarily trans-
ferred to the prime minister until the court reaches a decision on
whether her impeachment is constitutional.
Prosecutors say they believe Park colluded in the criminal
activities of a longtime confidante to manipulate government
affairs and extort businesses. The confidante, Choi Soon-sil, and
two of Park’s former aides allegedly linked to the scandal have
been indicted. Park, who has immunity from prosecution while
in office, has refused to meet with prosecutors investigating the
scandal.
