Clinton “became overheated and dehydrated” at the ground zero event, her doctor said. The billionaire businessman, who also attended yesterday’s memorial, said, “I don’t know anything,” when asked about Clinton. Trump has repeatedly questioned Clinton’s health, telling supporters last month she “lacks the mental and physical stamina” to serve as president and fight Islamic State militants. Hours after her stumble, Clinton’s campaign provided an explanation, releasing a statement from her doctor, Lisa Bardack, that said Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday. Trump turned 70 in June, while Clinton will have just turned 69 if she wins the White House.

Monday, September 12, 2016 15 years on, US remembers 9/11 terrorist attacksThe US marked the 15th anniversary of 9/11 yesterday, with victims’ relatives reading their names and reflecting on a loss that still felt as immediate to them as it was indelible for the nation. Over 1,000 victims’ family members, survivors and dignitaries gathered at ground zero in New York City under an overcast sky. You don’t move forward — it always stays with you,” said Tom Acquaviva, who lost his son, Paul Acquaviva. Nearly 3,000 people died when hijacked planes slammed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field near Shanksville on September 11, 2001. It was the deadliest terror attack on US soil.

Monday, September 12, 2016 Uruguay expects record-breaking number of Argentine tourists this summerUruguay’s Minister of Tourism Liliam Kechichián said yesterday that the country is expecting “two million Argentines” to arrive at the end of the year, which would be a “record in the history Uruguayan tourism.”The minister, who met this afternoon with the governor of the province of Buenos Aires province Maria Eugenia Vidal, said that numbers of Argentine tourists increased 40 percent over the months of July and August, while the numbers of Brazilians, improved by 17 percent. Although she admitted that “making predictions in tourism, which is highly affected by things that may happen tomorrow, is a bit reckless,” she acknowledged that the figures show a “positive upward trend” that allows them to be “optimistic.” Additionally, Kechichián said that the first quarter of 2016 was “the best in the last five years,” bolstered by the news that the first half of the year saw the country’s best tourism figures in the last 15 years, according to a report by the Centre for Economic Research (Cinve), which was published in August.

Debate starts in congress this week Monday, September 12, 2016 Budget bill to forecast 3.5 percent growth for 2016The government will forecast a sharply lower inflation rate and strong economic recovery in 2017’s budget, which is expected to start making its way through Congress this week, according to Let’s Change’s leader in the Senate. Data on Wednesday showed industrial production contracted 7.9 percent in July from a year earlier, marking the sixth straight month of shrinking output. The government statistics agency said gross domestic product shrank 0.7 percent in the first quarter of the year from the last quarter of 2015, confirming a third consecutive quarter of negative growth. “It is basically a mechanism to distribute risks between the state and the private sector,” Pinedo said. Macri’s Cabinet Chief Marcos Peña said last week that gross domestic product will likely contract by one percent in 2016.

Saturday, September 10, 2016 US, Russia seal imminent Syria cease-fireUS Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov shake hands at the conclusion of their news conference following their meeting in Geneva, Switzerland. The cease-fire begins at sundown September 12, Kerry said, coinciding with the Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday. Washington must persuade “moderate” rebels to break ranks with the Nusra Front, al-Qaida’s Syria affiliate, and other extremist groups. Russia, in response, has chafed at America’s financial and military assistance to groups that have intermingled with the Nusra Front on the battlefield. “It is profoundly in the interests of the United States.”The military deal would go into effect after both sides abide by the truce for a week and allow unimpeded humanitarian deliveries.

“The Falkland Islands Government (FIG) has seen the articles in the media attributed to the Argentine Foreign Minister, Susana Malcorra. FIG is actively working on the business case for flights from third countries in South America,” the statement said. In conversation with the Herald, the FIG made it clear that the plans did not currently include Argentina. Changes to that position, if any, would come after a visit by the UK Minister of State for the Americas Sir Alan Duncan to Buenos Aires next week. The statement also confirmed that UK Minister of state for the Americas and the Falkland Islands, Sir Alan Duncan, will “be in Buenos Aires next week,” according to the FIG.

Saturday, September 10, 2016 Malcorra UN bid stalls, Guterres cements leadForeign Minister Susana Malcorra failed to advance her bid to become the next United Nations Secretary General yesterday, though she remained in the race, placing fifth after the results of the latest straw poll of UN Security Council members were made public soon after the vote. Malcorra, who formerly served as Ban’s chef de cabinet at the UN, garnered seven “encourage” votes, seven “discourage” votes and one abstention — an identical result to the previous round of voting. Lajcak’s candidacy surged in the previous straw poll from two “encourage” votes in the second round to nine in the third round. Malcorra said while attending a UN conference on peacekeeping in London earlier this week that she had not received any “discourage” votes from any of the P5 so far. However, certain traditional conventions have influenced previous votes.

It is becoming increasingly unlikely that Foreign Minister Susana Malcorra will be the next secretary general of the United Nations. Let’s recap on the voting process: there are 15 members of the Security Council, five of that have veto power: the US, the UK, France, Russia and China. Another Security Council straw poll is set to be held on September 26th before a general vote on October 17th. Even Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said he wants his replacement to be a woman, noting it’s ridiculous that the organization that was founded 70 years ago has always been led by men.

Well-known Alejandro Dolina announced yesterday that he will no longer anchor his show “La Venganza Será Terrible” (“The Revenge Will be Terrible”) on Radio del Plata. Dolina, who is also an actor and composer, first started the show in 1993, weaving in elements of music and theatre with political commentary and debate. And today we have to say that the relationship is over.” Other employees of Radio del Plata went on a 24 hour general strike from 4pm yesterday, also due to lack of payment. Over the past year the radio station audience has actually been growing, climbing from sixth to second place in a popularity ranking of AM radio stations between July 2015 and July 2016. A whole host of radio stations seen as favorable to the former government of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner are struggling, according to Clarín.

Yanina Andrea Martínez made history today when she became the first Argentine athlete to win a gold medal at the Paralympics since Atlanta in 1996. Martínez won first place in the 100-meter race at the 2016 Rio Paralympic games with a time of 14.46 seconds. Claudia Nicoleitzik from Germany came in second with a time of 14.64 seconds, while Colombia’s Florian Hernandez won the bronze medal with 14.71 seconds. She will be running the first stage on Monday 11 with the goal of reaching the final the next day. Greetings to all, I love you,” said Martínez with a smile after winning the race.

Federal Judge Sandra Arroyo Salgado, the mother of late prosecutor Alberto Nisman’s daughters, joined the petition that was published in numerous news outlets calling for the ouster of Federal Judge Daniel Rafecas. But she’s also a judge and she should know better than anyone that if we followed the law to a tee, the petition would actually be going against republican ideals. After all, the country has an actual organization devoted with the very task of impeaching judges: the Council of Magistrates. And that’s what the judge considered when he decided to dismiss Nisman’s accusation. A request that Rafecas had already dismissed on August 5.

A fellow repressor, Francisco Gómez, was also sentenced to jail for being an accessory to their kidnapping and illegally appropriating their child. Their daughter, Mariana Eva, was released during the initial abduction and stayed with a family member. The two were taken to the Regional Intelligence Centre of Buenos Aires (RIBA), which was under the Air Force’s jurisdiction and run by Trillo. Mariana found Guillermo in 2000, when the two took DNA tests that confirmed they were related. Graffigna described his actions as “purely professional.”The plaintiffs in the case were Mariana, Guillermo Gómez’s lawyer Pablo Llonto and the Human Rights Secretariat at both the federal and provincial level.

Argentina just doesn’t seem as attractive to foreign visitors as it once did. That trend continued in July, when the number of tourists coming into the country fell by 2.6 percent to 188,400, according to statistics released yesterday by the Indec. In contrast, the number of Argentine tourists traveling internationally soared 22 percent to 1.98 million. Now, the increased relative value of the peso is making tourism in Argentina an expensive proposition, particularly when compared to other destinations in Latin America. On the plus side, Brazil still seems to love us more than any other country, despite its well-known economic woes, accounting for 35.5 percent of all tourists who arrived in Argentina in July.
