5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 2017 WORLD IN BRIEF number of sneaker styles it offers by a quarter. The company announced several changes to its business struc- ture today, saying the moves will help it offer more products to customers faster. Nike, which is based in Beaverton says the jobs cuts represent about 2 percent of its 70,000 employees around the world. It also says a main focus will be the 12 key cities in 10 coun- tries that it expects to represent more than 80 percent of its pro- jected growth through 2020. Shares of Nike Inc. fell more than 2 percent to $53.35 today. Associated Press London inferno extinguished; firefighters search for victims LONDON — London firefighters traumatized by the devas- tation they witnessed in a high-rise apartment blaze that killed at least 12 people worked today to make the building safe so they could continue the search for more victims. Entire families are missing, and the death toll is certain to rise after flames tore through the 120-unit Grenfell Tower in the early hours of Wednesday when most people were asleep. Fire Com- missioner Dany Cotton said it would be a miracle if anyone were to be found alive. It is unsafe for firefighters to go to all parts of the 24-story tower, so the fire department is working with structural engi- neers to shore up the building so they can complete a “finger-tip search” of the entire structure, Cotton said. “I spoke to one of my officers who was very near when some- one came out the window, and he was in tears and he is a profes- sional fire officer,” Cotton told Sky News. “We like to think of ourselves as ‘roughty, toughty’ and heroes — they are heroes — but they have feelings, and people were absolutely devastated by yesterday’s events.” More than 200 firefighters worked through the night and parts of the building were still seen as being unsafe. Now that the smoke has cleared, the public could only gape at the huge burned-out hulk in the working class, multi-ethnic neighborhood. Congress seeks normalcy, heads back to work after shooting ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The business of the House was resuming a day after a rifle-wielding attacker opened fire on Republican lawmakers practicing for a charity baseball game, critically wounding House GOP Whip Steve Scalise of Louisi- ana and hitting aides and Capitol police. The assailant, who had nursed grievances against President Donald Trump and the GOP, fought a gun battle with police before he, too, was shot and later died. Colleagues said Scalise, who had been fielding balls at sec- ond base, dragged himself away from the infield, leaving a trail of blood before they rushed to his assistance. He was listed in crit- ical condition Wednesday night at a Washington hospital, which said he will require several more operations. The shooter was identified as James T. Hodgkinson, a 66-year- old home inspector from Illinois who had several minor run-ins with the law in recent years and belonged to a Facebook group called “Terminate the Republican Party.” Capitol Police officers who were in Scalise’s security detail wounded the shooter, who was taken into custody. He later died of his injuries, Trump told the nation from the White House. “Everyone on that field is a public servant,” Trump said, his tone somber, America’s acrimonious politics set aside for the moment. “Their sacrifice makes democracy possible.” Rick Findler/ PA Fire service personnel are inside Grenfell Tower today in west London after a fire engulfed the 24-storey building Wednesday morning. A London fire commissioner says it will take weeks for the building to be searched and cleared. AP-NORC poll: Most in US think Trump meddled in Russia probe WASHINGTON — A clear majority of Americans believe President Donald Trump has tried to interfere with the investiga- tion into Russia’s alleged election meddling and possible Trump campaign collusion, a new poll shows. Just one in five support his decision to oust James Comey from the FBI. Following Comey’s blockbuster appearance before Congress, an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll shows 68 percent of Americans are at least moderately con- cerned about the possibility that Trump or his campaign associ- ates had inappropriate ties to Russia. Almost half of Americans saying they’re very concerned. Only 3 in 10 say they’re not that concerned. Americans largely view the issue along partisan lines. Six- ty-two percent of Republicans say they’re not very concerned or not at all concerned about any Russia ties. Though just over half of Americans say they disapprove of Trump’s firing of Comey, the number grows to 79 percent among Democrats. Overall, only 22 percent of Americans support Comey’s dismissal. For Sandra Younger, a 50-year-old from San Diego, Com- ey’s exit reinforced her suspicion “something fishy” was going on with the president and Russia. She said it was inappropri- ate to fire Comey given that he was overseeing the Russia investigation. “If I had nothing to hide and someone wanted to investigate, I would say, ‘Go ahead, do your thing, I don’t care, because you won’t find anything,’” said Younger, a Democrat who imports jewelry supplies. She added of Trump: “He seems to be bud- dy-buddy with these epic creeps.” Nike to slash 1,400 jobs, cut sneaker styles in shakeup NEW YORK — Nike wants to be more nimble on its feet and sell more shoes directly to customers online as part of a restruc- turing in which it plans to cut about 1,400 jobs and reduce the Boeing to move hundreds of Seattle area jobs to Arizona SEATTLE — Boeing plans to shift another work group away from the Puget Sound region. The Seattle Times reports the company confirmed Wednes- day the work shifting to Mesa, Arizona, could involve hundreds of jobs. The changes will affect Boeing’s Shared Services Group, which employs about 3,000 people and provides support services to Boeing’s corporate and production units. The unit’s leadership has initiated a review and has started to tell specific groups that their jobs could be moving. The move is part of Boeing’s drive to cut costs, which is largely responsible for the loss of more than 18,300 Boe- ing jobs in the state since the most recent employment peak in fall 2012. Boeing aims to complete the reorganization by 2020. Group president Beverly Wyse says it’s too early to know how many jobs will be moved. Reports say Mueller probe now examining possible obstruction WASHINGTON — The special counsel appointed to investi- gate Russian influence in the 2016 presidential campaign is now examining whether President Donald Trump tried to obstruct jus- tice, it has been reported. Accusations of obstruction arose last month when Trump fired FBI Director James Comey. Comey testified in a Senate hearing last week that he believed he was fired “because of the Russia investigation.” Comey also testified he had told Trump he was not under investigation. The Washington Post reported late Wednesday that Mueller was seeking interviews with three Trump administration offi- cials who weren’t involved in Trump’s campaign: Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence; Michael Rogers, the head of the National Security Agency; and Richard Ledgett, the former NSA deputy director. Mark Corallo, a spokesman for Trump’s personal lawyer, responded Wednesday evening to the Post report by saying: “The FBI leak of information regarding the president is outrageous, inexcusable and illegal.” Going on a summer vacation? Lots of Americans say they can’t afford it By BETH J. HARPAZ and EMILY SWANSON Associated Press Forget frequent flier miles, last-minute getaways and even road trips. Nearly half of Amer- icans say they won’t be taking a vacation this summer, mostly because they can’t afford it, according to a new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Cen- ter for Public Affairs Research. The survey, conducted in May, said 43 percent of Amer- icans won’t be taking a sum- mer vacation. The top reason for skipping a trip was the cost, cited by 49 percent of non-va- cationers. Another 11 percent said they can’t take the time off from work, while 3 percent said they don’t like to be away from work. About half of Americans living in households making less than $50,000 a year don’t plan to take any summer vaca- tion this year, and they’re espe- cially likely to cite costs as a reason. And if your employer gives you paid vacation days, con- sider yourself lucky: Forty-one percent of those surveyed who work full or part time said they do not get any paid time off from their employers to use for vacation. Younger and low- er-income workers are espe- cially likely not to get any paid time off. Danny Aguilar of Lake- wood, Colorado, says the cost is what stops him from plan- ning a vacation. He works in information technology, but because he’s self-employed, “the income is very unknown. You don’t know what’s going to happen. You never really know what’s coming. You can’t really budget.” Other findings from the poll: • Most Americans use at least some of their paid time off if they have the option, but many still leave paid vacation days on the table. Fourteen per- cent of workers who get paid vacation time from their jobs did not use any of the days they had coming to them. Just half of those with paid vacation time used up all or most of the days they were entitled to in the past year. • Not everybody wants to go away in the summer. Fifteen percent of those who are pass- ing on a summer getaway say it’s because they already took a vacation this year or because they’ll travel some other time of year.
