WORLD IN BRIEF
advisers that he felt his lawyer had obscured
what he believed was a public relations vic-
tory: the special counsel’s rare public state-
ment disputing portions of a BuzzFeed News
story that Trump instructed his former attor-
ney, Michael Cohen, to lie before Congress.
The president told confi dants that Giuliani
had “changed the headlines” for the worse and
raised the possibility that Giuliani do fewer
cable hits, at least for a while, according to the
offi cials and Republicans.
Several of Trump’s infl uential outside
allies also have begun expressing reservations
about Giuliani. Some members of this infor-
mal network of advisers, whom the president
frequently calls from the White House resi-
dence, urged Trump in recent days to bench
Giuliani — but most stopped short of suggest-
ing he be fi red, according to four White House
offi cials and Republicans close to the White
House.
Trump has not expressed an inclination to
dismiss Giuliani.

Dueling Senate bills
would end shutdown
in different ways
WASHINGTON — Senate leaders agreed
to hold votes this week on dueling proposals
to reopen shuttered federal agencies, forcing
a political reckoning for senators grappling
with the longest shutdown in U.S. history:
Side with President Donald Trump or vote
to temporarily end the shutdown and keep
negotiating.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell,
R-Ky., set up the two showdown votes for
Thursday, a day before some 800,000 federal
workers are due to miss a second paycheck.
One vote will be on his own measure,
which refl ects Trump’s offer to trade bor-
der wall funding for temporary protections
for some immigrants. It was quickly rejected
by Democrats. The second vote is set for a
bill approved by the Democratic-controlled
House reopening government through Feb. 8,
with no wall money, to give bargainers time
to talk.
Both measures are expected to fall short of
the 60 votes needed to pass, leaving little hope
they represent the clear path out of the mess.
But the plan represents the fi rst test of Senate
Republicans’ resolve behind Trump’s insis-
tence that agencies remain closed until Con-
gress approves $5.7 billion to build a wall on
the U.S.-Mexico border. For Democrats, the
votes will show whether there are any cracks
in the so-far unifi ed rejection of Trump’s
demand.
Democrats on Tuesday ridiculed McCo-
nnell’s bill, which included temporarily
extended protections for “Dreamer” immi-
grants, but also harsh new curbs on Central
Americans seeking safe haven in the U.S.
Families keep trying to cross
border, wall or no wall
McALLEN, Texas — Maria Orbelina
Cortez says she fl ed El Salvador for the U.S.
after her husband attacked her and knocked
a pan of scalding oil onto her youngest son’s
head.
After quietly planning for months, she
took the 3-year-old boy and his two broth-
ers and headed north without telling her hus-
band. As she spoke in the yard of a Catho-
lic Charities shelter in South Texas, the boy
played nearby. He had a hairless scar on top
of his head in the shape of a jagged, capital
“T.”
“I will always feel culpable,” said Orbe-
lina, 30. “Always.”
President Donald Trump’s push for a $5.7
billion wall — a demand that triggered the
longest government shutdown in history —
is unlikely on its own to stop families with
stories like Orbelina’s, who are crossing the
U.S.-Mexico border by the thousands each
month.
The Trump administration wants to use
that money to construct more than 200 miles
of border wall. Most of those miles would
likely go in South Texas, where more people
cross illegally than anywhere else.

Teachers and parents rally in support of Los Angeles school teachers on Tuesday in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles teachers head back
to school after reaching deal
LOS ANGELES — Tens of thousands of Los Angeles teachers planned to return to
work today after voting to ratify a deal between their union and school offi cials, ending
a six-day strike in the nation’s second-largest district.
“I voted ‘yes,’ to approve,” said second-grade teacher Wendy Perez. “I think the
union negotiated in good faith, and I’d like to believe the district did too.”
A crowd of teachers roared its approval after the tentative deal was announced at
City Hall following a 21-hour bargaining session.
While all votes hadn’t been counted by Tuesday night, union President Alex Capu-
to-Pearl said preliminary balloting showed educators overwhelmingly approving the
proposal.
“A vast supermajority are voting ‘yes’...therefore, ending the strike and heading
back to schools tomorrow,” he said.
Venezuela’s invigorated
opposition take streets
in crucial test
CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuela’s
re-invigorated opposition faces a crucial test
today as it seeks to fi ll streets nationwide with
protesters in an appeal to the military and
the poor to shift loyalties that until recently
looked solidly behind President Nicolas Mad-
uro’s socialist government.
The protests have been called to coincide
with a historic date for Venezuelans — the anni-
versary of the 1958 coup that overthrew mil-
itary dictator Marcos Perez Jimenez. Govern-
ment supporters are also expected to march in
downtown Caracas in a rival show of strength.
The competing demonstrations will come
after a whirlwind week that saw an uprising
by a tiny military unit, fi res set during protests
in poor neighborhoods and the brief detention
by security forces of the newly installed head
of the opposition-controlled congress.
For much of the past two years, following
a deadly crackdown on protests in 2017 and
the failure of negotiations ahead of last May’s
boycotted presidential election, the coalition of
opposition parties has been badly divided by
strategy and ego battles as millions of desperate
Venezuelans fl ed the country’s hyperinfl ation
and widespread food shortages. But buoyed by
unprecedented international criticism of Mad-
uro, anti-government forces have put aside their
differences and are projecting a united front.
Their leader this time, taking the reins from
a long list of better-known predecessors who
have been exiled, outlawed or jailed, is Juan
Guaido, the new president of the National
Assembly who was dragged from an SUV
just over a week ago by intelligence agents but
quickly released amid an international outcry.
Trump, others agitated by
Giuliani’s performance
NEW YORK — Rudy Giuliani’s latest
media blitz, which was fi lled with a dizzying
array of misstatements and hurried clarifi ca-
tions, agitated President Donald Trump and
some of his allies, who have raised the possi-
bility that the outspoken presidential lawyer be
at least temporarily sidelined from televised
interviews.
Trump was frustrated with Giuliani,
according to three White House offi cials and
Republicans close to the White House who
were not authorized to speak publicly about
private conversations. The president told

Buttigieg joins 2020
presidential race
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Democrat Pete
Buttigieg, the 37-year-old mayor of South
Bend, Indiana, is forming an exploratory com-
mittee for a 2020 presidential bid, according
to a video and email announcement obtained
by The Associated Press.
“The reality is there’s no going back, and
there’s no such thing as ‘again’ in the real
world. We can’t look for greatness in the past,”
Buttigieg says in a video that includes before-
and-after footage of South Bend, a Rust Belt
city once described as “dying.”
“Right now our country needs a fresh
start,” he says.
Buttigieg has touted his work to improve
his city of 100,000 residents as he’s prepared
for an improbable jump from local politics to
a presidential campaign. He’s also said Dem-
ocrats could benefi t from a new generation of
leaders as they try to unseat President Donald
Trump in 2020.
He’s expected to travel to Iowa next week
to meet with voters in the nation’s fi rst caucus
state, followed by stops in New Hampshire.
Brexit awakens old fears
in Northern Ireland
LONDON — Northern Ireland’s wounds
are deep: Bloody Sunday, Enniskillen, Bel-
fast’s sectarian killings of Catholics and Prot-
estants by paramilitaries on both sides and
British Army and Royal Ulster Constabulary
shootings and crackdowns.
Time has not completely healed the hatred,
distrust and fear of those caught up in the
decades-long confl ict that killed more than
3,700 people and largely ended with the 1998
peace accord. Now, Brexit’s intense focus on
the future of the border between Northern Ire-
land and the Republic of Ireland has prompted
worries of new violence.
Fears that the dark days of “The Troubles”
could be back have been fanned by a recent
explosion and hijackings in Northern Ireland’s
second largest city, Londonderry — also
known as Derry. The New IRA (Irish Repub-
lican Army) is suspected in the violence.
