5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, JANUARY 8, 2018 WORLD IN BRIEF New Hampshire ticket sole winner in $559M Powerball jackpot Associated Press US ending special protections for Salvadoran immigrants WASHINGTON — The Trump administra- tion said today it is ending special protections for Salvadoran immigrants, an action that could force nearly 200,000 to leave the U.S. by Sep- tember 2019 or face deportation. El Salvador is the fourth country whose cit- izens have lost Temporary Protected Status under President Donald Trump. Salvadorans have been, by far, the largest beneficiaries of the program, which provides humanitarian relief for foreigners whose countries are hit with natural disasters or other strife. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Niel- sen’s decision, while not surprising, will send shivers through parts of Washington, Los Ange- les, New York, Houston and other metropolitan areas that are home to large numbers of Salva- dorans. They have enjoyed special protection since earthquakes struck the Central American country in 2001, and many have established deep roots in the U.S., starting families and businesses. The action also produces a serious challenge for El Salvador, a country of 6.2 million people whose economy counts on money sent by wage earners in the U.S. Over the past decade, grow- ing numbers of Salvadorans — many coming as families or unaccompanied children — have entered the United States illegally through Mex- ico, fleeing violence and poverty. In September 2016, the Obama administra- tion extended protections for 18 months, saying El Salvador suffered lingering harm from the 2001 earthquakes that killed more than 1,000 people and was temporarily unable to absorb such a large number of returning people. Nielsen, who faced a Monday deadline for a decision, determined that El Salvador has received significant international aid to recover from the earthquake and that homes, schools and hospitals there have been rebuilt. Salvador- ans will have until Sept. 9, 2019, to leave the country or adjust their legal status. Author, publisher won’t back down on explosive Trump book WASHINGTON — The author of an explo- sive new book that questions President Donald Trump’s fitness for office today contradicted Steve Bannon’s explanation of comments that had angered his former boss. The book pub- lisher said any effort by Trump to suppress the book would be “flagrantly unconstitutional.” Michael Wolff, author of “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” took issue with a Bannon mea culpa issued Sunday, in which Trump’s former chief strategist sought to make amends for his comments. In the book, Bannon describes a meeting between Donald Trump Jr., senior campaign aides and a Russian lawyer as “treasonous” and “unpatriotic.” The reference angered the presi- dent, who last week lashed out at Bannon, say- ing he “lost his mind.” Bannon sought to make amends Sunday, say- ing in statement his description wasn’t aimed at Trump’s son but at former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. But Wolff told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”: “it was not directed at Manafort, it was directed directly at Don. Jr.” In a letter to company employees today, Macmillan CEO John Sargent wrote “no Amer- ican court” would go along with President Trump should he sue to have “Fire and Fury” withdrawn. Wolff’s book portrays the 45th president Korea Coast Guard The tanker “Sanchi” is seen ablaze after a collision with a freighter. Oil tanker burning off China’s coast at risk of exploding BEIJING — An oil tanker that caught fire after colliding with a freighter off China’s east coast is at risk of exploding and sinking, Chinese state media reported today, as authorities from three countries struggled to find its 32 missing crew members and contain oil spewing from the blazing wreck. State broadcaster China Central Television, citing Chinese officials, said none of the 30 Ira- nians and two Bangladeshis who have been missing since the collision late Saturday had been found as of 8 a.m. today. Search and cleanup efforts have been hampered by fierce fires and poisonous gases that have engulfed the tanker and surrounding waters. The Panama-registered tanker Sanchi was sailing from Iran to South Korea when it col- lided with the Hong Kong-registered freighter CF Crystal in the East China Sea, 160 miles off the coast of Shanghai, China’s Ministry of Transport said. China, South Korea and the U.S. have sent ships and planes to search for the Sanchi’s crew. The U.S. Navy, which sent a P-8A aircraft from Okinawa, Japan, to aid the search, said late Sunday that none of the missing crew had been found. All 21 crew members of the Crystal, which was carrying grain from the United States to China, were rescued, the Chinese ministry said. The Crystal’s crew members were all Chi- nese nationals. It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the collision. The Sanchi was carrying 150,000 tons, or nearly 1 million barrels of condensate, a type of ultra-light oil. By comparison, the Exxon Valdez was carrying 1.26 million barrels of crude oil when it spilled 260,000 barrels into Prince William Sound off Alaska in 1989, badly damaging local ecology and the area’s fishing-based economy. as a leader who doesn’t understand the weight of his office and whose competence is ques- tioned by aides. It has sparked outrage in Trump’s camp, and the president’s allies attacked the book in a round of television appearances Sunday. Smuggling boat sinks in Mediterranean, 64 feared dead ROME — As many as 64 African migrants, including a mother whose surviving 3-year-old child desperately clung to her as she drowned, are feared dead after a traffickers’ overcrowded rubber dinghy from Libya started sinking in the Mediterranean Sea, officials said today. The Italian coast guard rescued 86 people from the boat hours after it started sinking Sat- urday morning after it took on water and started deflating, a U.N. migration agency official said.

Oprah Winfrey led the charge. “For too long women have not been heard or believed if they dared to speak their truth to the power of those men,” said Winfrey, accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement. “But their time is up. Their time is up!” More than any award handed out Sunday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Winfrey’s speech, which was greeted by a rousing, ongoing stand- ing ovation, encapsulated the “Me Too” mood at an atypically powerful Golden Globes. The night — usually one reserved for more carefree par- tying — served as Hollywood’s fullest response yet to the sexual harassment scandals that have roiled the film industry and laid bare its gender inequalities. “A new day is on the horizon!” promised Win- frey, who noted she was the first black woman to be given the honor. With a cutting stare, presenter Natalie Portman followed Winfrey’s speech by introducing, as she said, “the all-male” nominees for best director. The movie that many believe speaks most directly to the current moment — “Three Bill- boards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” about a mother avenging the rape and murder of her daughter — emerged as the night’s top film. It won best picture, drama, best actress, drama, for Frances McDormand, best supporting actor for Sam Rockwell and best screenplay for writer-di- rector Martin McDonagh. Host Seth Meyers opened the night by diving straight into material about the sex scandals. “For the male nominees in the room tonight, this is the first time in three months it won’t be terrifying to hear your name read out loud,” he said. SCHEDULE THE DAILY ASTORIAN A the water to pull dozens to safety, including those who managed to stay aboard the half-sub- merged dinghy as well as others already flailing in nearby cold waters. Eight bodies were recovered on Saturday. Officials at the time said the corpses were all women, but U.N. migration officials who met the rescue ship when it arrived Monday in Cata- nia, Sicily, said two of the eight dead were adult men. Since trafficking dinghies are often crammed with far more than 100 migrants, fears quickly arose Saturday that dozens more could be miss- ing in the sinking. An Italian coast guard search that went through the night didn’t find any more survivors or corpses. Flavio Di Giacomo of the International Organization for Migration said in tweet today that survivors interviewed by the agency in Cat- ania said 150 people had been aboard the din- ghy when it set out from a Libyan beach east of Tripoli. The migrants came from Mali, Gambia, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, Cameroon, Senegal and Nigeria. MERRIMACK, N.H. — It’s been a bil- lion-dollar lottery weekend after a lone Power- ball ticket sold in New Hampshire matched all six numbers and will claim a $559.7 million jackpot, one day after another single ticket sold in Flor- ida nabbed a $450 million Mega Millions grand prize. Since Reeds Ferry Market opened at 5:30 a.m. Sunday, dozens of excited regulars have stopped by the small, independent convenience store in New Hampshire that sold the winning Power- ball ticket to congratulate the owner and chat about the win, store owner Sam Safa said. He said he doesn’t know the identity of the winner, but hopes one of the regulars from the over 100-year- old store in Merrimack, about 25 miles south of Concord, won the nation’s eighth-largest lottery jackpot. “I’m very excited and overwhelmed,” said Safa. He said that by selling the ticket, it felt like he himself had won. The store will receive a $75,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket. The initial jackpot was estimated at $570 million, but the actual jackpot at the time of the drawing was the lesser amount, $559.7 million, New Hampshire Lottery Spokeswoman Maura McCann said Sunday. The winner had not yet come forward as of Sunday evening. The Florida Lottery says the winning Mega Millions ticket from Friday night’s drawing was bought at a 7-Eleven convenience store in Port Richey. The retailer will receive a $100,000 bonus for selling the ticket. The identity of that winner also had not yet been revealed.
