Page 6A NATION/WORLD East Oregonian Wednesday, September 21, 2016 Obama says nations vow to take in twice as many refugees UNITED NATIONS (AP) — World leaders gathered at the United Nations pledged Tuesday to take in 360,000 refugees next year, President Barack Obama said, roughly doubling the previous year’s allowance in a bid to mitigate the worst refugee crisis since World War II. The United States said 52 countries taking part in a U.S.-led summit were stepping up to accelerate resettlement and boost inancial support for refugees. The White House did not release a full list of participating countries or a breakdown of their pledges, making Obama’s boast of major headway impossible to conirm. Obama, in an emotional event designed to invoke empathy for the plight of refugees, called it a “crisis of epic proportions” that tested both the international order and the world’s humanity. He drew a parallel to the Holocaust, calling the U.S. move to turn away Jews leeing Nazi Germany a stain on America’s collective conscience. “I believe history will judge AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster President Barack Obama addresses the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday. us harshly if we do not rise to this moment,” Obama said. The commitments announced Tuesday fell far short of what aid groups say is needed to address the crisis. Some 65 million people around the world have led their homes because of war or persecu- tion or to seek a better life, including about 21.3 million considered refu- gees by the U.N. Refugee Agency. Millions of Palestinian refugees are registered with the U.N. The key driver of the modern crisis has been Syria’s long-running civil war, though large numbers have also led Iraq and Afghanistan. In an oblique reference to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who has suggested temporarily banning Muslim immigrants, Obama said buying into the notion that Muslim immi- grants pose an inherent risk would reinforce terrorists’ propaganda. He said that would send the message that countries like the U.S. were “somehow opposed to Islam.” “It is an ugly lie that must be rejected in all our countries,” Obama said. Last week, the White House announced that the U.S. would resettle 110,000 refugees in the coming year, a 30 percent increase over the 85,000 allowed in this year. Obama called on wealthier nations to step up, adding that “we all have Wednesday Morning 6 AM PBS ABC NBC CBS FOX STATION 6:30 AgDay Hot/ Cleve.

China said it was pledging $300 million, while the United Kingdom said it would resettle 20,000 and provide almost $2 billion in aid — a roughly 10 percent bump. Argentina vowed to resettlement of Syrian refugees but said the exact igures would depend on how much global assistance was provided. “Your compassion will really help these helpless people,” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told world leaders. “If not us, who can do it?” Private companies were stepping up, too. The White House said more than four dozen U.S. businesses had pledged $650 million, including Facebook, Twitter, MasterCard, Johnson & Johnson and yogurt maker Chobani. Meeting with CEOs of some of the companies before the summit, Obama welcomed the pledges as more than an “extraordinary gesture of compassion.” 9:30 Paid Brain Good Day Harry (N) Let's Make a Deal Today Show II (N) Today Show II (N) Live!

Thomas AFTERNOON 12 PM Early ballots: Clinton sees strength in NC but lags in Iowa WASHINGTON (AP) — Seven weeks before Election Day, the earliest numbers from advance voting for president show initial strength for Hillary Clinton in swing state North Carolina, good news for Donald Trump in battleground Iowa and a record number of requests for ballots in Ohio. The irst early voting igures Tuesday are too preliminary to serve as clear indicators about how the election will go. Still, they are of interest because, unlike polls, they deal with actual voters either casting ballots or taking their irst steps to do so. Campaigns are scrutinizing these igures to help guide their strategies. He plans to vote for Clinton, the Democratic nominee. Many of his classmates — once Bernie Sanders supporters — are opting to wait for now. “The engagement is a little bit lower,” he said. Democrats historically do well in attracting early voters, and Republicans acknowledge their main goal is to avoid deep deicits before Nov. 8. With absentee balloting underway in North Carolina, voting kicks off this week in Georgia, Wisconsin, and Virginia as well as Iowa next week. Four years ago, about 45.6 million people or 35 percent of the electorate, voted early. In North Carolina, a must-win state for Trump, more than 53,000 voters had requested ballots, and 2,939 had been returned, according to data compiled by The Associated Press. That’s up from 47,313 ballots requested during a similar time frame in 2012. Broken down by party, Democrats made up 40 percent of the ballots returned so far compared to 33 percent for Republicans. At this point in 2012, Republicans were running slightly ahead, 43 percent to 38 percent, in ballots submitted. Republican Mitt Romney narrowly won the state that year and it’s dificult to see how Trump could accumulate the 270 electoral votes needed to capture the White House without winning North Carolina. 12:30 Crime Watch Daily 12 O'Clock News Bold & B.

Money in customers’ accounts was said to have been moved to these new accounts without their permission. Debit cards were issued and activated, as well as PINs created, without telling customers. In some cases, bank employees even created fake email addresses to sign up customers for online banking services, the regulators said. Wells Fargo has long been known in the banking industry for its aggressive sales goals. Stumpf bristled at Warren’s suggestion that the sales practices were a “scam.” He defended the cross- selling of products — trying to draw customers into taking on more — as “deepening relationships.” The senators also chal- lenged assertions that Stumpf and other Wells Fargo senior executives didn’t become aware of the problems until 2013 — when the sales misconduct was reported by The Los Angeles Times. The practices apparently began at least in 2009. KTNW (59) OPB Journeys 13 in Japan Business (N) 6 PM 6:30 STATION PEN CABLE WASHINGTON (AP) — The CEO of Wells Fargo faced calls for his resignation Tuesday from harshly critical senators over allegations that bank employees opened millions of unauthorized accounts to meet sales quotas. Members of the Senate Banking Committee showed bipartisan outrage over the long-running conduct, unsat- isied by Chief Executive John Stumpf’s show of contrition. Stumpf said he was “deeply sorry” that the bank failed to meet its responsi- bility to customers and didn’t act sooner to stem “this unac- ceptable activity.” Sen. Elizabeth Warren latly told Stumpf he should step down. “You squeezed your employees to the breaking point so they would cheat customers,” she said. “You should resign. You should give back the money you took while the scam was going on.” The Massachusetts Demo- crat, one of the iercest critics of Wall Street, also advocated for a criminal investigation by the Justice Department and a civil probe. Stumpf, a 34-year veteran of Wells Fargo and CEO since 2007, earned $19.3 million last year. The bank does have in place provisions its board could implement to claim back executive compensation.
