"I dismiss it all as hype," Olisa told Business Insider at the launch of VTC Group in London this week. VTC Group is a new startup chaired by Olisa that aims to bridge the gap between startups, academics, and big corporates. "I'm so old I know that the only value is cash," Olisa says. "If a unicorn can demonstrate that in 3 to 5 years time it can generate enough cash to defend a $1 billion+ valuation, then bring it on. But that's the question, not these backroom deals that give a headline value of $1 billion but actually give investors a get out of jail free card." 2015 was the year of the unicorn, with a boom in startups hitting the valuation. Notable unicorns that joined the club last year include TransferWise, Lyft, Zenefits, SoFi, Hellofresh, Prosper, Oscar, and Farfetch, according to venture capital data tracker CB Insights. There were many more. Hitting the unicorn mark became a badge of honour in the industry, with businesses clamouring to declare themselves the next unicorn, but Olisa says focusing on unicorn status has come at the expense of actually building strong businesses. "We've suddenly decided that it's not about business and innovation and market and customers, it's about something else. It's lipstick on the pig. There's a unicorn industry and they can play around with each other but all it will do is end in tears, because it's not about the customer and it's not about adding value to anything." Olisa has seen the tech industry evolve over almost 40 years, starting at IBM back in the 1970s. He told the crowd at the VTC Group launch: "When I was first in [the tech industry] you had to explain to people what computers were and what they did."I remember once being asked the difference between hardware and software, and I realised in a moment of panic I had no idea. I worked for IBM and we just sold them stuff and they were grateful or they lost their job. It was a very different time." After leaving IBM, Olisa held various positions in the industry before going on to found technology merchant bank Interregnum in 1992 and leading it through the tech boom to float on London's AIM market in 2000 — just as the dotcom bubble was popping. Olisa set up another technology merchant bank in 2006, Restoration Partners, which he currently chairs. Olisa continued: "The collapse of Powa, tragic though it is, making things seem like they're worth $1 billion — that's financial engineering. Two floors in the Heron Tower says it all." London-headquartered payments business Powa Technologies was reportedly once valued at $2.7 billion but collapsed into administration last month after running out of cash. The Financial Times has since thrown doubt over whether the company was ever really worth that much.

"Star Wars" fans are salivating over the new full-length trailer for "Rogue One"—the latest installment in the blockbuster sci-fi saga. Besides the return of Darth Vader and some tantalizing clues to long unanswered questions in the series, the clip offers something else striking: unprecedented diversity. Not only is "Rogue One" continuing "The Force Awakens" trend of putting a young woman in the center of the action, but it appears to provide prominent roles for African-American, Latino and Asian actors as well—a relatively new development in the "Star Wars" universe. NBC News reached out to LucasFilm for comment on the casting choices, but have not heard back at this time. The original "Star Wars" films were knocked for initially having no characters of color, and then eventually featuring only one prominently—Lando Calrissian played memorably by Billy Dee Williams—although legendary black actor James Earl Jones did provide the iconic voice for Vader (and continues to). Related: 'Star Wars' Production Company Pleads Guilty Over Harrison Ford's Set Injury The polarizing prequel films, which came more than a decade later, were eviscerated by some critics for their perceived cultural insensitivity, when computer-animated characters like Jar Jar Binks, were widely viewed as trafficking in uncomfortable, old-fashioned racial stereotypes. “Whether intentionally or not, Jar Jar’s pratfalls and high jinks borrow heavily from the genre of minstrelsy. Despite the amphibian get-up, his relentless, panicky, manchild-like idiocy is imported directly from the days of ‘Amos ‘N’ Andy’," The Nation’s Patricia Williams wrote about the character in 1999 following the release of "The Phantom Menace." "[W]hether it were a white man, a black woman or Al Jolson himself beneath the mask, what would still make all the clowning so particularly insulting is the fact that Jar Jar’s speech is a weird pidgin mush of West African, Caribbean and African-American linguistic styles,” Williams said. Last year's "The Force Awakens," the first "Star Wars" film in 10 years and the only one to have very little involvement from series mastermind George Lucas, appeared to make a deliberate effort to break with the past. Along with putting a female with feminist inclinations in the lead, producers cast John Boyega, a black actor, as her co-lead. Despite some backlash from fringe elements on the Internet, the pairing was well-received by critics and audiences. The film's box office performance was unparalleled. Today, "The Force Awakens" ranks at the all-time highest grossing film in America (not adjusted for inflation) with a nearly $200 million lead on the next closet film. Still, if you thought the "Star Wars" films couldn't stand to make more money you're mistaken. Despite its record-breaking performance stateside, the consensus within the industry is that "The Force Awakens" under-performed abroad. This wasn't an indictment of the quality of the film (some critics believed the film merited serious consideration for a Best Picture Academy Award), but a diminished brand awareness in countries like China and India. Related: 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' World Premiere Wows Fans, Celebs Although "Star Wars" is indisputably a cultural institution here in the United States, the previous six films (which now date back nearly 40 years) had been banned in China until fairly recently. Some might speculate that the movies' emphasis on themes of freedom from tyranny may have been a factor, but in reality all Western movies had been embargoed until a quota system was installed in the mid-1990s, allowing just 10 American films a year to be screened for audiences there. Today, Asia is one of the most important markets for American films, and while "The Force Awakens" did find a sizable audience there, the casting of A-list Chinese actors Donnie Yen and Jiang Wen in "Rogue One" will almost certainly broaden the movie's appeal in their native country and elsewhere around the globe. But the diverse casting of "Rogue One" could also prove beneficial in ways that go beyond its bottom line. "I think domestic audiences have made their voices heard that they're looking for more diversity in big films as well. 'The Force Awakens' did a great job in incorporating Daisy Ridley and John Boyega as leads in relaunching the franchise last year, I'm happy to see that continue with this film," Daniel Loria, managing editor of Pro.BoxOffice.com told NBC News on Friday. Related: Japan's All Nippon Airways unveils 'Star Wars'-themed planes and entertainment In the aftermath of the #OscarsSoWhite controversy, numerous studies supported the contention that women and minorities were being woefully under-represented on screen. A University of Southern California study this year of 700 films released between 2007 and 2014, for instance, found that "at least half or more of all cinematic, television, or streaming stories fail to portray one speaking or named Asian or Asian American on screen.” "Rogue One" appears to have already broken the mold and their move will likely pay off. A March diversity report from UCLA determined that films with at least a 41-50 percent non-white cast perform better in the global marketplace, which runs counter to long-held prejudices that international audiences weren't interested in films starring black and brown performers. “The conventional wisdom has been, you can’t have a film with a minority lead because it’s not going to travel well overseas—and films make most of their money overseas,”Darnell Hunt, director of the Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies, which produced the study, told Variety at the time. “What our study is suggesting is that that logic is false.” Still, when it comes to "Star Wars"—which has arguably the most rabid and devoted fanbase in cinema history—any new entry is likely to be a hit (every original canon release has grossed at least $200 million domestic), no matter what the reviews are and who the star is. "Rogue One," which takes place chronologically between the final prequel and the classic 1977 original, will be selling nostalgia and familiarity when it opens across the U.S. this December. But it may translate better to the rest of the world for what is fresh about it, namely its perpetuation of a truly multicultural galaxy.

'Bull' star Michael Weatherly reflects on Les Moonves scandal, lessons from 'NCIS' NEW YORK – Michael Weatherly is a fixture at CBS. He played Anthony DiNozzo on “NCIS” from its premiere in 2003 until 2016, when he left to star in his own CBS series, “Bull.” It’s that history with the network that Weatherly says makes it difficult to comment on Les Moonves’ resignation earlier this month as chief of CBS amid sexual misconduct allegations. “Not to get into any of the ifs, ands or buts about what is right or wrong and where it comes from,” Weatherly said in a recent interview. “Professionally I owe a great part of my career to the decision-making of the higher-ups at the company. It’s a complicated place to be.” More: Candice Bergen changed mind about her pal, ousted CBS chief Leslie Moonves Season three of “Bull” premieres Monday at 10 p.m. Eastern. Weatherly plays Jason Bull, a psychologist and trial consultant. The show is based on the early career of Dr. Phil McGraw, who is an executive producer. Weatherly says he’s learned there’s a leadership role that comes with being first on a call sheet of a TV series. “It’s been very illuminating and given me a great deal of insight and regard for what Mark Harmon was doing all those years (on ‘NCIS’), when I was like, ‘How come he doesn’t have as much fun as the rest of us?’” he said with a laugh. “On (’NCIS’) I was doing a little bit as Steve Martin in every episode and so that kept it very fresh for me for a very long time. But being the central character – I think I found this in season one – you have to limit the range of stuff that you’re doing because otherwise you just look like a crazy person.” Season two ended with Bull suffering a heart attack on the courthouse steps. The character is now committed to being healthy, which led Weatherly to improve his own fitness during the show’s hiatus. He lost about 25 pounds but jokes that he’s since “found about eight.” Weatherly believes the series’ concept keeps it ripe for storytelling. “As long as human beings remain mysterious and contradictory and paradoxical, I think we will have episodes to explore those ideas.”

'We will never forget': Livonia pays tribute to fallen city, Michigan police officers One warm evening in a quiet spot named for one of their heroes, Livonia police officers gathered to pay respect to the fallen. The city's fourth annual police memorial ceremony, Tuesday at Larry Nehasil Park, was a tribute to the four Livonia officers who died in the line of duty in the city's 68-year history, plus to the seven Michigan officers who lost their lives on the job in the past year. "We will not forget. We will never forget," said Kurtis Wilder, a Michigan Supreme Court justice and the keynote speaker. The ceremony was attended by several dozen uniformed officers, as well as by police retirees, public officials, representatives from other departments and family members of the Livonia officers being honored. Wilder offered thanks to law enforcement family members who, he said, will never again be able to welcome home their loved ones. His participation Tuesday, Wilder said, had special meaning for him, as in 2012 he had the honor of presenting a recognition from the Police Officers Association of Michigan to Nehasil's widow, Linda. "He was committed to getting the job done and protecting his community," Wilder said. Nehasil, 48, was killed Jan. 17, 2011, in an exchange of gunfire with a burglar police had been tracking. The gunman died as well, while his brother, an accomplice who was also at the scene, was sentenced to decades in prison for the murder. Nehasil, Wilder said, was "standing in the gap to protect others from harm" and made the ultimate sacrifice. Also honored were three other Livonia officers who died on duty: Sidney Dethloff, who was struck by a car, in 1952; James Kelley, who suffered a heart attack, in 1992; and Ervin Johnston, who also suffered a heart attack, in 2007. Wilder shared comments about the seven Michigan officers who died on the job since last year's ceremony from people who knew them personally, using words like "big-hearted," "kind," "loyal" and "tough." They are: Officer Jonathan Ginka, Norton Shores Police Department; Corrections Officer Thomas Bunker, Otsego County Sheriff's Office; Trooper Timothy O'Neill, Michigan State Police; Deputy Eric Overall, Oakland County Sheriff's Office; Officer Donald Kimbrough, Detroit Police Department; Officer Glenn Doss Jr., Detroit Police Department; and Officer Darren Weathers, Detroit Police Department. As Sgt. James Green listed each of the deceased, uniformed officers, sometimes accompanied by survivors, placed a flower on a wreath at the park's memorial plaza. Police Chief Curtis Caid said he "couldn't be more proud" of Livonia's police officers. Despite police work being "more challenging than ever," with officers confronting multiple societal problems on a daily basis, "Members of the Livonia Police Department are absolutely committed to our residents, businesses and visitors," Caid said. Caid also presented a shadow-box display case to Livonia Lt. Greg Winn with artifacts representing Winn's 39-year career. Winn, commander of the department's honor guard, is retiring this month.

It was not without its lighter moments, however, as when Caid skipped the wreath-laying and had to backtrack, or when he thanked the police chaplains for the nice weather. "We just ask. We're not in control," said Pastor Joel Lindman, one of the chaplains. Larry Nehasil's twin sister Lori Caid, who is married to the chief, has attended all four of the annual ceremonies. She said her late brother is "our hero" and that when she sees his badge No. 450, in different places, she takes it as a positive sign from him. Nehasil Park has a special meaning for Livonia officers as a tribute to their fallen brothers, she said. "It's a reflection of who these officers were and what they meant to the community," she said.

(CNN) -- The gunman in Monday's fatal shooting spree at an Orlando, Florida, business targeted his victims and had a "negative relationship" with at least one of them, Orlando County Sheriff Jerry Demings said. "He was certainly singling out the individuals he shot," Demings told reporters Monday afternoon. Police say he killed five employees of Fiamma Inc. before killing himself. The gunman was identified as John Robert Neumann, Jr. He was fired in April by Fiamma Inc., which makes accessories for recreational vehicles. Monday morning, he pointed his gun at a new, temporary employee and told her to leave, Demings said. Police identify victims Demings named the victims as Robert Snyder, 69; Brenda Motanez-Crespo, 44; Kevin Clark, 53; Kevin Lawson, 46; and Jeffrey Roberts, 57. Neumann lived alone and had no family in the area, Demings said. He was an Army veteran who was honorably discharged in 1999. Police said Neumann was a disgruntled former employee acting alone and had no ties to terror or subversive groups. Demings said it did not appear Neumann had a concealed weapons permit for the semi-automatic pistol he used. Police responded to the call about 8 a.m. in an industrial area northeast of downtown. Three men and a woman were found dead at the scene, Demings said. Another man died at Orlando Regional Medical Center. "Most of the victims were shot in the head," Demings said. "Some were shot multiple times." Eight other people were inside the business when the shootings took place, he said. 'My boss is dead' Shelley Adams told reporters she spoke Monday with her sister, who works at Fiamma and was in the restroom when she heard a noise. Her sister came out and saw someone lying on the floor. "She said, 'I saw too much. My boss is dead,'" Adams said. Shooter was fired this year Police had responded to a battery complaint against Neumann at Fiamma in 2014. The victim of that incident was not among the dead Monday, Demings said. Neumann had a minor police record including arrests for DUI and marijuana possession. Pulse anniversary approaches Almost a year ago, Orlando was the site of the nation's worst terror attack since 9/11. On June 12, 2016, a gunman killed 49 people at the Pulse nightclub. "Over the past year, the Orlando community has been challenged like never before," Florida Gov. Rick Scott said in a statement Monday. "I will remain in contact with the Orlando law enforcement community throughout the day as more information is made available," Scott said.

(Reuters) - Indian generic drugmaker Ranbaxy Laboratories will stop manufacturing its version of Pfizer Inc's cholesterol fighter, Lipitor, while it gets to the bottom of the cause of a recent recall, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on its website. Earlier this month, Ranbaxy recalled certain lots of the widely used cholesterol lowering medicine known generically as atorvastatin at doses of 10 milligrams, 20 mg and 40 mg after the company discovered contamination with tiny glass particles. There have so far been no reports of patients being harmed due to the glass particulates, the FDA said. The agency said it does not anticipate drug shortages due to the recall as several other companies also produce generic Lipitor, while Pfizer still sells its branded version. FDA said it was monitoring the situation and working with other manufacturers to ensure adequate supply in order to avoid shortages of atorvastatin as a result of the recall. During its first six months on the market, when it enjoyed marketing exclusivity, atorvastatin generated sales of nearly $600 million for Ranbaxy, according to Bhagwan Singh Chaudhary, a research associate at the brokerage IndiaNivesh FDA said it will continue to oversee the recall process and work with the Ranbaxy to resolve pharmaceutical quality issues. The recall is the latest in a series of manufacturing problems at Ranbaxy, which is operating under heightened scrutiny due to past problems that nearly derailed it ability to sell atorvastatin in the United States. In 2008, the FDA banned the company from importing about 30 drugs after it found manufacturing deficiencies at two of the company's facilities in India, and Ranbaxy was later accused of falsifying data used in drug applications. Under a proposed settlement earlier this year, Ranbaxy agreed to engage a third party to conduct a review of its facilities, implement procedures to ensure data integrity in its marketing applications, and ensure it meets good manufacturing practices.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-mallinckrodt-lawsuit-idUSKBN20Q2FV.txt.gz
(Reuters) - The United States sued a unit of the drugmaker Mallinckrodt Plc on Tuesday, accusing it of defrauding Medicaid out of hundreds of millions of dollars as a result of “meteoric” price increases for its biggest-selling drug, Acthar Gel. Joining a civil whistleblower lawsuit filed in Boston federal court, the government said Mallinckrodt ARD LLC violated the federal False Claims Act by withholding Medicaid rebates related to Acthar, which now costs nearly $40,000 per vial. The drug is used to treat spasms in infants as well as multiple sclerosis, and generated about 30% of Mallinckrodt’s $3.16 billion of net sales in the Staines-upon-Thames, England-based company’s latest fiscal year. Mallinckrodt had sued the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services last May over the calculation of Acthar rebates, and said the judge there has barred any enforcement action while the case was pending. In a statement on Tuesday, Mallinckrodt accused the government of attempting an “end-run” around that case by filing “an unnecessary, duplicative and wasteful lawsuit on the exact same issue.” Under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, drugmakers pay quarterly rebates to state Medicaid programs in exchange for Medicaid’s coverage of their drugs. The program shields Medicaid when drug prices rise faster than inflation, by calculating rebates based on a drug’s price in 1990 or when the drug was first marketed, whichever is later. But the government said that while Acthar was first marketed in 1952, Mallinckrodt and its predecessor Questcor calculated rebates as though marketing began in 2013, reflecting Acthar’s then-recent regulatory approval to treat infantile spasms. The government said Mallinckrodt’s rebates did not reflect the increase in Acthar’s price per vial to nearly $30,000 in 2013 from $50 in 2001, when Questcor acquired the drug, and that Mallinckrodt has defied government warnings to address this. U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling in Boston: “The government will always target this kind of exploitation of a program designed to provide health care to vulnerable members of our society.” Mallinckrodt bought Questcor for about $5.8 billion in 2014. The False Claims Act lets whistleblowers sue on behalf of the government, and share in recoveries. Mallinckrodt’s whistleblower, Minnesota resident James Landolt, sued the company in September 2018. In afternoon trading, Mallinckrodt shares were down 68 cents, or 16.1%, at $3.54. Their 52-week high is $25.33, set last March 4. The case is U.S. ex rel Landolt v. Mallinckrodt ARD LLC, U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts, No. 18-11931. Reporting by Jonathan Stempel in New York; Editing by David Gregorio and Richard Chang

(Reuters Health) - People who have had 10 or more sexual partners during their lifetime may have increased odds of being diagnosed with cancer, a new study suggests. Women, in particular, had nearly twice the risk when they had 10 or more past partners compared to when they had one or none, researchers report in BMJ Sexual & Reproductive Health. While the study team expected to find an association between number of sexual partners and cancer, they were surprised to find a gender difference. “Previous research has shown that specific STIs (sexually transmitted infections) may lead to several cancers,” said study coauthor Lee Smith, a reader at the Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, UK. “It is interesting the risk is higher in women when compared to men,” Smith said in an email. “This may be because the link between certain STIs and cancer is stronger in women.” To look at how the number of sexual partners might impact health, Smith and colleagues turned to data from the English Longitudinal Study of Aging, a nationally representative study of adults aged 50 and older. They focused on data from 5,722 men and women, average age 64, who were asked in 2012-2013 to report their lifetime number of sexual partners. Participants were also asked about their health and about any longstanding condition or infirmity that affected their routine activities. Among men, 29% reported one or zero sexual partners, 29% had two to four, 20% had five to nine and 22% reported having 10 or more. Among women, just under 41% had one or zero sexual partners, 36% reported two to four partners, 16% reported five to nine partners and 8% said they had 10 or more. Women and men with higher numbers of partners tended to be younger, unmarried and more likely to smoke and drink alcohol frequently. They were also more likely to do some kind of vigorous exercise weekly and to be on either the high or low end of the wealth spectrum, the researchers note. Compared to women who reported one partner or none, those who reported 10 or more were 91% more likely to have been diagnosed with cancer. Similarly, men with 10 or more partners were 64% more likely to have been diagnosed with cancer compared to men with one partner or none. In addition, women with 10 or more partners were 64% more likely than those with the fewest to report having a limiting, long-standing illness. But there were no differences among women or men in self-rated health, or heart disease or stroke, based on number of lifetime sexual partners. These findings should be interpreted very cautiously, said Dr. Konstantin Zakashansky, an associate professor of gynecologic oncology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. The study can only show an association, not prove cause and effect, Zakashansky said. Further, it did not specify which cancers were diagnosed and the data depended on people’s self-reports. The associations in the study may just be a marker for other lifestyle issues, since people who had more partners were also more likely to smoke and drink, said Dr. Robert Edwards, a professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Moreover, Edwards said, “smoking and alcohol consumption amplify the risk for cancer with certain sexually transmitted diseases.” Smith had advice for those with very active sex lives: “People who had risky sexual encounters should contact their health care providers to get checked for potential sexually transmitted infections and should discuss openly how to minimize this risk with their health care providers. Using appropriate protection will reduce the risk of related cancers going forward.” SOURCE: bit.ly/2URl7Zo BMJ Sexual & Reproductive Health, online February 13, 2020.

* 'Do I have some gas left in the tank?' Holder asks * Holder says civil rights enforcement has been rejuvenated By David Ingram BALTIMORE, Nov 8 (Reuters) - Attorney General Eric Holder said on Thursday that he has yet to determine whether he will stay on as the chief U.S. law enforcement officer for President Barack Obama's second term. Speaking to law students at the University of Baltimore, Holder said he still must speak with both Obama and his own family while considering what he would contribute if he stayed. "That's something that I'm in the process now of trying to determine," he said. Holder, 61, said the process included asking himself, "Do I think that there are things that I still want to do? Do I have some gas left in the tank?" A White House spokesman had no comment on Holder's future. Several Cabinet members, including Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, are weighing whether leaving before Obama's second term begins in January is the right time. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said she intends to move on. Holder served in the U.S. Justice Department's No. 2 position under President Bill Clinton, and Obama appointed him attorney general in 2009. Both presidents are Democrats. It is rare for an attorney general to serve more than four years, and Republicans tried to oust Holder after a botched department operation called "Fast and Furious" that targeted gun trafficking along the U.S.-Mexico border. Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives dismissed a congressional inquiry into Fast and Furious as politically motivated, and the Justice Department's inspector general cleared Holder of any wrongdoing. Holder has not previously committed one way or the other to serving in a second Obama term. He worked on Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, and the two prominent black lawyers have similar backgrounds, including immigrant fathers and degrees from Columbia University. There could be symbolic reasons for Holder, the first black U.S. attorney general, to stay on at least into 2013. June will mark the 50th anniversary of the racial desegregation of the University of Alabama, where Vivian Malone - whose sister is Holder's wife - was one of the first black students. DRUG POLICY AN ISSUE Holder's latest comments came in response to questions from Ron Weich, dean of the University of Baltimore's law school and a former Justice Department official under Holder. Weich asked whether Holder had thought about a second term, what his plan is and whether he might serve through 2016, a tenure that would match that of Clinton's attorney general, Janet Reno. "I don't know why you assume my service would have to stop at 2016," Holder quipped initially, appearing at ease on stage with his former colleague. "President Jeb Bush, President Marco Rubio, President Hillary Clinton - any one of them might ask me to stay on," he said, referring to rumored 2016 presidential candidates from both parties. Speaking two days after voters in two states legalized marijuana for recreational use, Holder said there should be a broad discussion about U.S. drug policy. "How much money have we spent? What are the results that we've gotten?" he said, adding that the government might need to make drug treatment a higher priority. Asked by Weich to explain how one becomes attorney general, Holder dead-panned: "Be friends with the president." Holder told the law students he was most proud of his having rejuvenated the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, the unit charged with enforcing anti-discrimination laws in voting, housing, education and other areas. Democrats and civil rights organizations said this division had wandered from its core mission during Republican George W. Bush's administration. "You can really assess how good the Justice Department is by how effective its Civil Rights Division is," Holder said. Obama's re-election on Tuesday, defeating Republican challenger Mitt Romney, confirmed the strength of the administration's priorities, Holder said. "The fact that he won, and as conclusively as he did, is in many ways a vindication of the policies that he talked about," he said.

- An obscure part of the US Code became a flashpoint in Wednesday evening's Democratic presidential debate. - Candidates Julián Castro and Beto O'Rourke argued over the ramifications of Section 1325 of the federal immigration system. - Section 1325 makes it a criminal offense to illegally enter the US, rather than just a civil offense, and is the same section the Trump administration relied on while implementing its "zero tolerance" policy that separated thousands of migrant families last year. - Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. One of the most heated moments during Wednesday evening's Democratic presidential debate was an unexpected confrontation between two candidates from Texas over an obscure component of US federal law that has broad ramifications over America's immigration system. Julián Castro, the former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and former Rep. Beto O'Rourke sparred over Section 1325 of the US Code and how it has impacted the influx of Central American asylum-seekers over the last year. The confrontation started after O'Rourke vowed not to build walls, cage migrant children, separate families, or criminally prosecute families seeking asylum in the US. But Castro quickly interrupted, arguing that O'Rourke supports Section 1325, and therefore couldn't uphold his promise not to criminally prosecute migrant families. Section 1325 was implemented in 1929 and made it a criminal offense to illegally enter the US, rather than just a civil offense. Read more: Julián Castro managed to break from the pack and dominate the stage at the first 2020 Democratic debate That distinction is significant — it means a migrant who crosses the border illegally can be charged with a federal misdemeanor, jailed, fined, and deported. Meanwhile, other unauthorized immigrants who may have entered the US legally but overstayed their visas are merely committing civil violations, akin to simple traffic violations. The code reads: "Section 1325 sets forth criminal offenses relating to (1) improper entry into the United States by an alien, (2) entry into marriage for the purpose of evading immigration laws, and (3) establishing a commercial enterprise for the purpose of evading immigration laws." "Let's be very clear. The reason that they're separating these little children from their families is that they're using Section 1325 of that act, which criminalizes coming across the border to incarcerate the parents and then separate them," Castro said during the debate. "Some of us on this stage have called to end that section, to terminate it. Some, like Congressman O'Rourke, have not. And I want to challenge all of the candidates to do that." Section 1325 was the legal basis for separating thousands of migrant families last year The "zero tolerance" policy that the Trump administration implemented in the spring of 2018 attempted to use Section 1325 to prosecute 100% of the adults illegally crossing the US-Mexico border. Before the "zero tolerance" policy, authorities used discretion at the border and generally only prosecuted migrants who had extensive criminal records or were suspected of human trafficking or gang ties. But the heightened rigor from "zero tolerance" meant that all adults who were prosecuted for the illegal entry misdemeanor had to be brought before a judge and jailed, thereby separating them from any children they had arrived with, since federal law also prohibits children from being detained with their parents. Read more: Beto O'Rourke falters as his Democratic competitors hammer him on healthcare and immigration Since the bulk of the migrants apprehended at the border in recent years have come as part of family units, the policy resulted in untold thousands of children forcibly separated from their parents. O'Rourke has previously defended Section 1325, telling CNN's Jake Tapper in a June 16 interview that the law was necessary to hold certain criminals accountable. "If somebody is attempting to smuggle human beings into the United States, if they are attempting to cross illegal drugs into this country, I want to make sure that we have the legal mechanism necessary to hold them accountable and to detain them to make sure that they do not pose a threat to this country or to our communities," O'Rourke said on CNN. During the debates, Castro argued that other sections of the US Code already cover those concerns. "I think that you should do your homework on this issue," Castro told O'Rourke. "If you did your homework on this issue, you would know that we should repeal this section." - Read more: - The government is moving migrant children back into the Texas Border Patrol station where lawyers say kids were deprived of food and forced to take care of each other - The beloved kids magazine Highlights issued a scathing takedown of the Trump administration's 'unconscionable' treatment of migrant children - Some ICE officers are reportedly furious with how Trump is handling immigration issues and wondering 'what the hell is going on' at the border - A searing photo showing a drowned migrant father and his 23-month-old daughter highlights the perils of the migration crisis at the border

- Attorney General nominee William Barr on Tuesday went against President Donald Trump in significant ways early on in his confirmation hearing. - Barr rejected Trump's perception and characterization of several issues, from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference to the president's pardon powers. - "I don't believe Mr. Mueller would be involved in a witch hunt," Barr said as he was questioned by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Within the first two hours of Attorney General nominee William Barr's confirmation hearing on Tuesday, he had made significant breaks from President Donald Trump. Barr made it clear he does not agree with the president on array of issues, perhaps most notably special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference and the Trump campaign's alleged collusion. The former attorney general, who seems poised to be confirmed and get his old job back, rejected Trump's characterization of the Mueller probe as a "witch hunt." Read more: William Barr: Mueller and I are 'good friends' and 'I don't believe' he 'would be involved in a witch hunt' "I don't believe Mr. Mueller would be involved in a witch hunt," Barr said as he was questioned by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Barr, who has a personal relationship with Mueller, also said he would allow the special counsel to finish the investigation if he's confirmed as attorney general. Trump has repeatedly called for the investigation to end, and apparently even sought to have Mueller fired but ultimately backed down after senior White House officials vehemently objected. Read more: William Barr says in prepared testimony that Mueller should be allowed to 'complete his work' on the Russia probe Barr also said he believed former Attorney General Jeff Sessions was correct to recuse himself from the Russia investigation, a move that outraged Trump and led to his deteriorating relationship with Sessions. Sessions ultimately resigned at the request of the president last November after repeatedly being publicly lambasted by Trump on the recusal issue. —MSNBC (@MSNBC) January 15, 2019 In his opening remarks, Barr also seemed to take a veiled jab at Trump's attacks on the Department of Justice, arguing it should not be politicized in any context. Read more: Rudy Giuliani doubles down on his dubious claim that the White House should be able to review and correct Mueller's report before it's released "In the current environment, there are places in the government where the rule of law — not politics — holds sway... The Department of Justice must be that place," Barr said. Trump has at times claimed he has virtually unlimited power to pardon people as president —including himself. This has been a point of concern surrounding Mueller's investigation and Trump associates who've landed in legal trouble, particularly his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort. During Tuesday's hearing, Barr rejected the notion Trump has a blank check to use the pardon power. Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy asked Barr if a president could offer a pardon in exchange for a witness promising not to incriminate the president. Barr told Leahy: "No, that would be a crime."

- Former NASA official Lori Garver said SpaceX could lose workforce amid reports about its work culture. - Garver has been outspoken in her support of Elon Musk and SpaceX in the past. - Last month, SpaceX workers wrote a letter criticizing Musk's behavior on Twitter. Former NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver warned SpaceX could struggle to recruit and maintain its workforce if it doesn't fix its "bro culture." "These rockets don't build themselves," Garver told CNN Business. "The best and the brightest, they aren't going to put up with behavior that is truly a distraction." "The bro culture could succeed in the past because the predominant number of engineers were white males," she added. "That is no longer the case. And we absolutely benefit from all comers. All views." A spokesperson for SpaceX did not respond to a request for comment from Insider. Garver told CNN Business she was disappointed to hear reports alleging employee concerns about SpaceX's work culture. Last month, SpaceX employees penned a letter to company president Gwynne Shotwell criticizing Elon Musk's behavior, which they dubbed "a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment." The next day The New York Times reported that the space venture had terminated several employees that helped organize the letter. In addition to mentioning Musk's tweets, the letter referenced a recent sexual misconduct allegation against the SpaceX CEO that Insider first reported. It alleged the company paid a former flight attendant $250,000 after she accused Musk of sexually harassing her. Musk told Insider at the time that there was "a lot more to the story," but later joked about the allegations on Twitter. "If I were inclined to engage in sexual harassment, this is unlikely to be the first time in my entire 30-year career that it comes to light," Musk told Insider at the time. Last year, a former SpaceX engineer said "misogyny is rampant" at the company and claimed she was sexually harassed. Four more former employees described similar experiences, The Verge reported. In her memoir that was published last month, "Escaping Gravity: My Quest to Transform NASA and Launch a New Space Age," Garver said she continually went to bat for Musk and SpaceX despite criticism from NASA. In one instance, she said she was told to "get your boy Elon in line." "SpaceX has a huge lead and is running faster than any of the competition, including all the big aerospace companies," Garver wrote in her book. "To me, that is both fantastic and scary at the same time." Garver's memoir follows the commercialization of the US space industry during Garver's time as NASA's deputy administrator during the Obama administration, highlighting the agency's early interactions with SpaceX and Garver's efforts to make space launches more affordable. She told CNN Business that if companies like SpaceX don't start to address sexism, "they will lose workforce." In the memoir, the former NASA official detailed several instances where sexism in the aerospace industry negatively impacted her career. "Many who disagreed with my views attacked me with vulgar, gendered language, depredation, and physical threats," Garver wrote. "I've been called an ugly whore, a motherfucking bitch, and a cunt; told I need to get laid, and asked if I'm on my period or going through menopause." Despite her criticism of sexism in the industry, Garver's book often reads as an ode to SpaceX and Musk. "My story is difficult to separate from Elon's because I wouldn't have managed to pull off much of a transformation at NASA without him and SpaceX. We've bled for the same cause and amassed the same enemies," she wrote. "We each needed the other to succeed." Do you work at SpaceX or Blue Origin?

- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday accused Attorney General William Barr of lying to Congress over his handling of the special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation. - "He lied to Congress — if anybody else did that, it would be considered a crime," Pelosi told reporters at a news conference. "Nobody is above the law — not the president of the United States and not the attorney general." - Pelosi accused Barr of lying to Congress about his knowledge of Mueller's dissatisfaction with Barr's handling of Mueller's Russia report. - Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has accused Attorney General William Barr of lying to Congress over his handling of the special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation. "What is deadly serious about it is the attorney general of the United States of America was not telling the truth to the Congress of the United States," Pelosi told reporters at a news conference on Thursday morning. "That's a crime." She added, "He lied to Congress — if anybody else did that, it would be considered a crime. Nobody is above the law — not the president of the United States and not the attorney general." Pelosi accused Barr of lying about his knowledge of Mueller's dissatisfaction with Barr's handling of the report. Barr told Congress last month that he was unaware of any concerns the special counsel's team had with Barr's controversial four-page summary of the 448-page Russia report. As reporting this week revealed, however, Mueller sent an unusual letter to Barr in late March in which he argued that Barr's summary "did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance" of the special counsel's investigation. "There is now public confusion about critical aspects of the results of our investigation," Mueller wrote in the letter. "This threatens to undermine a central purpose for which the Department appointed the Special Counsel: to assure full public confidence in the outcome of the investigations." Barr testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday but refused to appear before the House on Thursday.

And she accused Barr of being loyal to President Donald Trump and those special interests over his office. "There is an ideological anti-governance, anti-science, anti-meeting the needs of the American people," she said. "This isn't about President Trump only — it's about a right-wing ideological — they're handmaidens to the special interests in our country." She went on: "We are in a very, very challenging place because we have a Republican Party in the Congress who are complicit in the special interest agenda of the National Rifle Association, the fossil-fuel industry — special interests writ large." Pelosi also told her colleagues that she couldn't sleep Wednesday night following Barr's congressional testimony, according to Politico.

- Special counsel Robert Mueller is in possession of several memos from former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe documenting his conversations with President Donald Trump and then-FBI director James Comey. - The memos could go a long way in bolstering Mueller's obstruction case against Trump. - But more importantly, the memos' very existence is significant because it indicates McCabe believed his conversations with Trump were problematic enough to warrant documentation, in case he later had to testify about them in court. The special counsel Robert Mueller has obtained several memos written by former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe which document his conversations with President Donald Trump and former FBI director James Comey, CNN reported. Mueller has also interviewed McCabe about Comey's firing, according to a CNN source who declined to say when the interview occurred. Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe late Friday night, hours before he was set to retire with full pension benefits. The move came amid an internal Department of Justice investigation which found that McCabe had approved unauthorized disclosures to the media about the Hillary Clinton email investigation, and later was not entirely forthcoming about the incident. McCabe said in a statement after his firing that he felt he had been "singled out" and targeted because of the events he witnessed in the aftermath of Comey's firing. The former FBI deputy director's memos documenting some of those circumstances could serve a number of significant purposes in Mueller's investigation, particularly as it relates to the obstruction-of-justice thread, which focuses on whether Trump sought to hamper the Russia investigation when he fired Comey last year. Before he was dismissed, Comey compiled several of his own memos documenting his conversations with Trump. According to the memos and Comey's testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee last June, Trump repeatedly asked the FBI director for his loyalty and to drop the bureau's investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn. Comey gave no indication that he would do so, and he was later fired. Mueller is in possession of Comey's memos. McCabe was one of three top FBI officials whom Comey apprised of his conversations with Trump while he was FBI director. McCabe's memos, some of which document his conversations with Comey about Trump, could serve as a way to corroborate Comey's account of his interactions with the president, thereby bolstering the obstruction case against Trump. McCabe's and Comey's memos are not, in and of themselves, admissible evidence in court. Rather, their significance stems from their very existence. FBI agents are trained to compile detailed memos of conversations immediately after the fact so that they can be as accurate as possible, according to former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti. Those memos can later be used to refresh their memory in the event that they have to testify about the conversations during a trial. More importantly, Mariotti wrote, the existence of McCabe's memos indicates he "thought Trump said something so problematic that he believed it was important for him to write contemporaneous memos of their conversations." "It is odd for an FBI Director or Deputy Director to write private memos of his conversations with the President," he wrote. "This news suggests McCabe thought that he might later need to testify about those conversations in court." McCabe's memos could also help the special counsel determine Trump's mindset in the hours after he fired Comey. Trump named McCabe acting FBI director following Comey's departure. NBC News reported in January that Trump called McCabe immediately after Comey's firing and began mocking his wife, Dr. Jill McCabe, and her failed bid for a Virginia state Senate seat in 2015. According to the report, Trump called McCabe after becoming furious that Comey used a government-funded plane to travel from Los Angeles to Washington, DC after learning of his firing. Multiple people familiar with the call told NBC News that Trump had demanded to know why Comey was allowed to take such a flight, and that McCabe told the president he had not been asked to authorize the flight but would have if he were. Trump then reportedly went silent for a moment, before suggesting McCabe ask his wife how it felt to be a loser, sources told NBC News. McCabe responded, "OK, sir," and Trump hung up the phone. Later, during an Oval Office meeting that was meant to be a meet-and-greet session following Comey's firing, Trump reportedly asked McCabe whom he voted for in the 2016 US election. One former official told The Washington Post McCabe had found the question "disturbing." He also remarked on McCabe's wife's political campaign and the fact that she had received donations from the Virginia Democratic Party and a super PAC operated by former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a longtime friend of Hillary Clinton's. In the following months, Trump would frequently revisit that line of attack against McCabe, repeatedly tying his wife's campaign to Clinton, and painting that as evidence that McCabe could not be impartial in the Clinton email probe, and that he was biased against Trump. McCabe wasn't in charge of the Clinton investigation at the time, and didn't take on an "oversight role" in the probe until February 2016, long after his wife lost her election bid. The FBI also released a trove of internal emails and documents in January that confirmed McCabe was not warned against becoming involved in the Clinton investigation but recused himself anyway following a Wall Street Journal report about political donations to his wife's campaign.
