Watch: Ivanka using private emails for government work is fake news, says Trump

<p>A Congressional committee <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/white-house-adviser-ivanka-trump-used-personal-email-for-government-work-178335">will investigate Ivanka Trump</a>, US&nbsp;President Donald Trump's daughter and a White House adviser, following reports that she repeatedly used a personal email account for government work, a House Democrat said on Tuesday.</p>

<p>"We plan to continue our investigation of the presidential records act and federal records act, and we want to know if Ivanka complied with the law," his office said in a statement.</p>

<p>Cummings, in a separate statement, said the White House has not complied with previous document requests.</p>

<p>The current House Oversight committee chairman, Republican Trey Gowdy, also asked the White House for documents and information related to Ivanka Trump's use of private email in a letter on Tuesday.</p>

<p>The White House did not respond to a request for comment, but Trump said his daughter's use of her personal email account was different from Clinton's.</p>

<p>Ivanka Trump's emails came to light when White House officials began reviewing them in response to a lawsuit from watchdog group American Oversight, according to the Post. The paper said she used the personal account for official business fewer than 100 times in 2017.</p>

<p>The New York Times also reported on Ivanka Trump's email use.</p>

<p>"It raises the issue of whether there has been anything improper. There should be some kind of investigation" either by Congress or the White House ethics office, Blumenthal told CNN.</p>

Congressional committee to investigate Ivanka Trump's private email use for work

<p>White House advisor and <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/us-judge-questions-trump-administration-on-asylum-policy-178283">US President Donald Trump</a>'s daughter Ivanka Trump sent hundreds of work-related emails using her personal account last year, The Washington Post reported on Monday.</p>

<p>Ivanka violated public records rules, the report said. The White House did not immediately respond to the questions regarding the&nbsp;matter.</p>

<p>The Post, citing anonymous sources,&nbsp;said the discovery was made by White House officials reviewing emails in response to a public records lawsuit.</p>

<p>When asked about it, Trump said she was unfamiliar with details of the rules, the Post said.</p>

<p>A spokesman for&nbsp;&nbsp;Trump's attorney confirmed that she did use a private email account before she was informed of the rules, and said that all her government-related emails had been turned over months ago, the newspaper reported.</p>

<p>The emails were sent to her assistants, White House aides and cabinet members, the US newspaper said in its report.</p>

<p>Then FBI director James Comey -- fired by the president last year -- announced that the bureau would reopen an investigation into Clinton's use of the private email server just 11 days before the 2016 presidential vote, a move that some say may have helped cost her the election.</p>

Hollywood stars pay tribute to Kate Spade

<p>&nbspUS&nbspPresident Donald Trump on Friday called for comedian Samantha Bee to be fired after she made a vulgar comment about his daughter and White House adviser Ivanka Trump on her cable television program.</p>

<p>His comments came days after Walt Disney Co's ABC network cancelled the popular US&nbsptelevision comedy "Roseanne" after its star Roseanne Barr tweeted a racist remark comparing a former top Obama administration official to an ape.</p>

<p>"Why aren't they firing no talent Samantha Bee for the horrible language used on her low ratings show?" Trump said on Twitter on Friday. "A total double standard but that's O.K., we are Winning, and will be doing so for a long time to come!"</p>

<p>On Wednesday, Bee used a crude reference for the female anatomy to describe Ivanka Trump on her show "Full Frontal" while discussing the president's controversial immigration policies.</p>

<p>Bee apologised on Thursday. The TBS cable network, which airs the program, also issued an apology.</p>

<p>"I would like to sincerely apologise to Ivanka Trump and to my viewers for using an expletive on my show to describe her last night. It was inappropriate and inexcusable. I crossed a line, and I deeply regret it," Bee said on Twitter.</p>

<p>The show immediately faced a backlash from advertisers. State Farm Insurance said it has suspended its commercials and is reviewing any future placements. "We constantly review programs to ensure alignment to our programming guidelines and brand values," spokesman Jim Camoriano said in a statement.</p>

<p>Autotrader also pulled its commercials. "The comments expressed by Samantha Bee were offensive," the company said in a statement. "As a result, Autotrader has suspended its sponsorship of 'Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.'"</p>

<p>Trump's presidential candidacy was thrown into crisis in 2016 after a tape emerged in which he boasted about being able to grab women by their genitalia because of his star status. He had spoken as he waited to film a segment for the TV program, "Access Hollywood," in 2005.</p>

<p>Trump later apologised, calling it "locker room banter."</p>

<p>After "Roseanne" was cancelled on Tuesday, the White House said the president would not defend Barr's comments but pointed to alleged media bias against the TV show, which portrays a working-class American family.</p>

<p>The program, which originally aired from 1988 to 1997, has drawn praise from Trump since it was brought back. Its reboot featured Barr portraying a Trump voter facing off against her sister, an ardent opponent of the president, and tackled other issues reflecting America's political divide.</p>

<p>TBS is owned by Time Warner Inc, which is seeking to merge with AT&T Inc in a move opposed by the Trump administration.</p>

<p>After "Roseanne" was cancelled, Trump criticized ABC and Bob Iger, chief executive officer of Disney, on Twitter, but did not directly address the content of Barr's comments. Disney is seeking to merge with Twenty-First Century Fox Inc. Fox has also drawn interest from Comcast Corp.</p>

Many fear that Ivanka Trump may also design her policies influenced by the countries with which she engages in business. Although Ivanka Trump no longer manages her brand, she continues to profit from it.

US president Donald Trump sidestepped the recent North, South Korean peace moves at the Winter Olympics and unveiled the largest-ever sanctions on Kim Jong Un's regime. Trump outlined sanctions against 56 entities linked to North Korea. "Today I am announcing that we are launching the largest-ever set of new sanctions on the North Korean regime," Trump said. The US president said the Treasury Department will soon take action to further cut off sources of "revenue and fuel" that North Korea uses to fund its nuclear program and sustain its military. Trump said the effort will target more than 50 "vessels, shipping companies, and trade businesses that are assisting North Korea in evading sanctions." Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin confirmed the sanctions covered "virtually all the ships" North Korea is "using at this moment in time." US vice president Mike Pence on a visit to Japan recently had hinted about the sanctions which the US president has now put into effect. The president's decision comes even as his daughter Ivanka is in South Korea for the Winter Olympics.

<p>In the US, some experts have pointed out the conflict of interests during Donald Trump Jr&#39;s India visit.</p>

<p>&quot;News that the Trump Organisation would be offering buyers in the Trump Tower the chance to meet the president&#39;s son sparked criticism of potential conflict of interest, and the fact that Trump Jr&nbsp;will be giving a foreign policy speech while on a private business trip complicates the matter further&quot;, The Washington Post quoted ethics expert as saying.</p>

Twitter trolls Ivanka Trump for Oprah applause

<p>In recent times, Hollywood has been hit by a string of sexual misconduct allegations on probably the biggest stars of the industry, which include Kevin Spacey, Harvey Weinstein, Dustin Hoffman, besides many others.</p>

<p>Many A-list actresses like Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Rose McGowan came forward with their horrible experiences last year.Meryl Streep, probably the most popular Hollywood star has now opened up about the sexual misconduct scandal in Hollywood, and the criticisms she faced in the wake of allegations against producer Harvey Weinstein.</p>

<p>While speaking to New York Times, when asked how she felt about people waiting for her to give a response, she said, &quot;I don`t want to hear about the silence of me. I want to hear about the silence of Melania Trump. I want to hear from her. She has so much that`s valuable to say. And so does Ivanka. I want her to speak now.&quot;</p>

<p>As for how much she knew about Weinstein`s behaviour towards the actresses, Streep reiterated that she knew nothing concrete.&quot;In terms of Harvey, I really didn`t know. I did think he was having girlfriends. But when I heard rumours about actresses, I thought that that was a way of denigrating the actress and her ability to get the job. That really raised my hackles. I didn`t know that he was in any way abusing people. He never asked me to a hotel room. I don`t know how his life was conducted without people intimately knowing about it,&quot; explained Streep.</p>

<p>When asked about her reaction to the Weinstein story, Streep shared, &quot;I found out about this on a Friday and went home deep into my own life. And then somebody told me that on `Morning Joe` they were screaming that I haven`t responded yet. I don`t have a Twitter thing or - handle, whatever. And I don`t have Facebook. I really had to think. Because it really underlined my own sense of cluelessness, and also how evil, deeply evil, and duplicitous, a person he was, yet such a champion of really great work.&quot;<br />
<br />
The <em>Into the Woods</em>&nbsp;star further added, &quot;You make movies. You think you know everything about everybody. So much gossip. You don`t know anything. People are so inscrutable on a certain level. And it`s a shock. Some of my favourite people have been brought down by this, and he`s not one of them.&quot;<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, on the work front, Streep will be next seen in Steven Speilberg`s <em>The Post</em>&nbsp;alongside Tom Hanks.The flick is slated to release on January 12.&nbsp;</p>

They diligently do embroidery on textiles as an expression of creativity, aesthetics and identity. For Jason Derulo, we have focussed on our <em>Vrindavan</em> Symphony collection which highlights the Radha-Krishna narrative. The floral temple motifs inspired from the Vrindavan forests and the musical instruments like tabla, sarangi sitar are the motifs synthesised to create a youthful contemporary outfit.&quot;</p>

<p>Khalifa&nbsp;was seen wearing a bottle green outfit with digitised Kutchi mirror work <em>butis</em><em>&nbsp;</em>placed all over the classic asymmetric kurta in silk while Derulo adorned&nbsp;an asymmetrical grey kurta in jersey fabric with the &#39;<em>Rudraveena</em>&#39; print.</p>

President Trump, PM Modi 'expressed satisfaction' with Global Entrepreneurship Summit: White House

<p>For the past couple of days now, the media has been making a big hype of the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES). On the front page of every newspaper, and on every news channel, Ivanka Trump is the main story. However, like everything else that involves politics and politicians, it is all show and no substance. Modi and Ivanka smiled for photographs, there was a <a href="http://indianexpress.com/article/business/startups/when-pm-narendra-modi-ivanka-trump-global-entrepreneurship-summit-launched-mitra-the-made-in-india-humanoid-robot-4960043/" rel="nofollow">robot that can greet people</a> and make small talk, and a whole lot of speeches were given.</p>

<p>But let us look at the stated goals of the summit, and what it does to achieve those goals.</p>

<p><strong>Empowering Female Entrepreneurs</strong></p>

<p>The first aim is to encourage women to start their own business. Currently, <a href="https://thewire.in/34430/women-run-14-of-indian-businesses-most-self-financed/" rel="nofollow">only about 14 per cent of the businesses in India is run by women</a>, of which 83 per cent&nbsp;is just one woman businesses, with no other staff.</p>

<p>What did the summit do to enable female entrepreneurship? It consisted of numerous master classes, where industry veterans told their own stories of how they started out, the mistakes they made along the way, and useful things they learnt. While it is nice to know tips and tricks, one cannot really use them unless they have both the skills and the capital to start their own business.</p>

<div class="ui-state-default">
<div class="row">
<div class="article-blockquote">
<div class="col-sm-10 col-sm-offset-1 blockquote-content quoteshare">
<blockquote>
<h5>India has so few female entrepreneurs simply because it has a very low proportion of women in the labour market.</h5>
</blockquote>
</div>

<div class="col-sm-1 blockquote-content">
<div class="share-blockquote"><a class="twitter popup" href="http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=India has so few female entrepreneurs simply because it has a very low proportion of women in the labour market."><i class="fa fa-share">&nbsp;</i></a></div>
</div>
<a class="close-mark close-div" href="#">&times;</a></div>
</div>
</div>

<p>Where do they get those skills and capital? Majority of the entrepreneurs initially work for someone else, learning essential skills on the job, which they later apply in their own ventures. Earnings from a job also help them accumulate some of the capital necessary for starting out on their own. This is where the crux of our problem lies.</p>

<p>India has so few female entrepreneurs simply because it has a very low proportion of women in the labour market. The female labour force participation rate is <a href="https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SL.TLF.CACT.FE.ZS?locations=BD-IN-CN" rel="nofollow">only 27</a>&nbsp;per cent. If women cannot get the experience and skills that come only from having a job, they will not be able to start their own businesses.</p>

<p>The question, then, is why do women not get jobs? Sure, there is some stigma to women working outside their homes, but that can&rsquo;t explain the entire shortfall in female labour force participation. If stigma were the explanation, developing countries similar to India, such as Bangladesh and China, for instance, would also see this problem. But in Bangladesh, 43 per cent of the women find work, as do 63 per cent in China.</p>

<p>What is it that Bangladesh and China have, but India does not? The answer is large, labour intensive manufacturing sectors, which all countries at a similar level of development have. India famously skipped the manufacturing part, and jumped from agriculture, directly to the service sector.</p>

<p>The service sector creates relatively few high skill jobs. It cannot create the crores of jobs required for India&rsquo;s men and women. I have on <a href="https://fee.org/articles/what-marx-could-teach-obama-and-trump-about-trade/" rel="nofollow">numerous</a> <a href="https://fee.org/articles/governments-destroy-jobs-not-automation/" rel="nofollow">occasions</a> <a href="https://fee.org/articles/the-ease-of-doing-business-index-is-fraught-with-flaws/" rel="nofollow">described</a> how India&rsquo;s complex labour laws prevent a large industrial base from developing. Having too many labour laws makes it unprofitable to hire workers. As a result, what little manufacturing takes place in this country <a href="http://www.drnarendrajadhav.info/drjadhav-data_files/Published%20papers/Size%20and%20Capital%20Intensity%20in%20Indian%20Industries.pdf" rel="nofollow">relies heavily on machinery</a>, and not labour.</p>

<p>With regards to women specifically, there are numerous regulations that hurt their chances at employment. <a href="http://www.lawyersclubindia.com/articles/Protection-of-women-under-the-labour-laws-6511.asp" rel="nofollow">There are several</a> labour laws that were passed with the noble intention of helping women. The law mandates paid maternity leave, having a cr&egrave;che facility if the firm employs more than 30 women, places restrictions on the hours women can work and the maximum workload they can take on, among other things.</p>

<p>All of this means that it is cheaper for employers to hire a man than a woman, for the same job, and save on the additional costs of maternity leave, babysitting and so on. The law effectively forces employers to discriminate against women, and hire men wherever possible.</p>

<p>If the government were really serious about encouraging female entrepreneurship, they would first get rid of all the unnecessary regulations that create hurdles to finding jobs. Until then, only women from rich families who could afford a good education for them will benefit from such events.</p>

<p><strong>Key Sectors</strong></p>

<p>The government wanted to promote a few key sectors in this summit. While I&rsquo;m no fan of this central planning mindset, where the government decides which sectors are important, that&rsquo;s a story for another time. For now, let us look at just two of these sectors and whether or not the summit will really help them.</p>

<p>The first is health and life sciences. Given the government&rsquo;s tendency to impose price controls on medicines and medical equipment, there is little incentive for entrepreneurs to enter the market. When government recently capped the price of stents, manufacturers <a href="http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/abbott-to-withdraw-two-of-its-latest-generation-coronary-stents-from-india-2263509.html" rel="nofollow">pulled out their latest models</a> from the market or <a href="http://www.livemint.com/Companies/iAGkqzuwIU0ecePeRd0epJ/Citing-price-controls-Abbott-says-wont-launch-newest-coron.html" rel="nofollow">refused to launch them at all</a>. This ended up hurting patients, who now have fewer choices. Unless government stops meddling in the healthcare market, summits like this are meaningless.</p>

<p>Media and entertainment are cited as another important sector. Of course, the first problem is the rampant censorship done by the government. Another problem is again, price controls. In some states, like Tamil Nadu, <a href="http://www.livemint.com/Consumer/JZeGqCCmBIkcJf8x72XAYI/Tamil-Nadu-film-theatres-in-distress-over-GST-corporation-t.html" rel="nofollow">movie ticket prices are capped by the government</a>. When it comes to television, entertainment channels are not allowed to charge more than Rs 12 per month as subscription fees. If the government prevents producers from making a return on their investment, <a href="http://www.hindustantimes.com/opinion/why-are-indian-news-channels-so-disappointing/story-cDuiuycQiJDwIV1ZTxmeVK_amp.html" rel="nofollow">they have no reason to produce good movies and television</a>.</p>

<p>The government does not need to do more to promote female entrepreneurship or better healthcare or media and entertainment. On the contrary, as we have seen so far, government intervenes too much in the market, preventing these sectors from flourishing and women from succeeding. Instead of wasting time with these summits, the government would be wise to deliver on its promises and get rid of unnecessary and burdensome regulations.</p>

Excessive and unnecessary regulations imposed by the government have been discouraging female entrepreneurs

For the past couple of days now, the media has been making a big hype of the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES). On the front page of every newspaper, and on every news channel, Ivanka Trump is the main story. However, like everything else that involves politics and politicians, it is all show and no substance. Modi and Ivanka smiled for photographs, there was a robot that can greet people and make small talk, and a whole lot of speeches were given. But let us look at the stated goals of the summit, and what it does to achieve those goals. Empowering Female Entrepreneurs The first aim is to encourage women to start their own business. Currently, only about 14 per cent of the businesses in India is run by women, of which 83 per cent is just one woman businesses, with no other staff. What did the summit do to enable female entrepreneurship? It consisted of numerous master classes, where industry veterans told their own stories of how they started out, the mistakes they made along the way, and useful things they learnt. While it is nice to know tips and tricks, one cannot really use them unless they have both the skills and the capital to start their own business. India has so few female entrepreneurs simply because it has a very low proportion of women in the labour market. × Where do they get those skills and capital? Majority of the entrepreneurs initially work for someone else, learning essential skills on the job, which they later apply in their own ventures. Earnings from a job also help them accumulate some of the capital necessary for starting out on their own. This is where the crux of our problem lies. India has so few female entrepreneurs simply because it has a very low proportion of women in the labour market. The female labour force participation rate is only 27 per cent. If women cannot get the experience and skills that come only from having a job, they will not be able to start their own businesses. The question, then, is why do women not get jobs? Sure, there is some stigma to women working outside their homes, but that can’t explain the entire shortfall in female labour force participation. If stigma were the explanation, developing countries similar to India, such as Bangladesh and China, for instance, would also see this problem. But in Bangladesh, 43 per cent of the women find work, as do 63 per cent in China.

The answer is large, labour intensive manufacturing sectors, which all countries at a similar level of development have. India famously skipped the manufacturing part, and jumped from agriculture, directly to the service sector. The service sector creates relatively few high skill jobs. It cannot create the crores of jobs required for India’s men and women. I have on numerous occasions described how India’s complex labour laws prevent a large industrial base from developing. Having too many labour laws makes it unprofitable to hire workers. As a result, what little manufacturing takes place in this country relies heavily on machinery, and not labour. With regards to women specifically, there are numerous regulations that hurt their chances at employment. There are several labour laws that were passed with the noble intention of helping women. The law mandates paid maternity leave, having a crèche facility if the firm employs more than 30 women, places restrictions on the hours women can work and the maximum workload they can take on, among other things. All of this means that it is cheaper for employers to hire a man than a woman, for the same job, and save on the additional costs of maternity leave, babysitting and so on. The law effectively forces employers to discriminate against women, and hire men wherever possible.
