Riches are the most favored by the global economic recovery, according to report

Rich people are winning the global economic recovery.

That, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), says in a new report that the poor - who have been hit hard by the financial crisis - have been forgotten in the global economic recovery.

"The fruits of economic recovery have not even been shared," the OECD said in a report released Thursday.

The organization found that the bottom 10% of wage earners in developed countries saw their real incomes decline by 16.2% between 2007 and 2010. Revenues of the top 10% fell only 4.6% over the same period.

The recovery also produced uneven results. Between 2010 and 2014 revenues of the lowest 10% only increased by 1.6% compared to the growth of 5.2% of those with the highest incomes.

The end result is more income inequality. Wages of the top 10% of those who receive the most money recovered to pre-crisis levels in 2014, while the poorest ones earned 14% less than before the crisis.

OECD information shows that the United States is one of the most inequitable countries. Twenty percent of Americans with higher incomes earn 8.7 times more than the bottom 20%.

Nordic countries such as Iceland, Norway and Denmark have the lowest levels of inequality among the developed countries group.There, 20% of the population with the most income earns about 3.5 times more than the 20% of the population that earns the least.

World leaders agree that inequity is a big problem. At the latest G20 meeting in China, leaders of the world's 20 largest economies called for more action to ensure that economic growth is inclusive.

In a separate study released last Thursday, the Institute for Fiscal Studies said earnings in the UK will not reach pre-crisis levels before 2021.

The full recovery will be further delayed by the separation of the country from the European Union after the brexit victory in June this year.

Why do the police shoot to kill in the United States?

From Ferguson (Missouri) and North Charleston (South Carolina) to Tulsa (Oklahoma) and Charlotte (North Carolina): fatal police shootings seem to be occurring with alarming regularity.

Officials sometimes have to take the decision whether or not to fire their weapon in a matter of seconds and under pressure. It's not an easy job. However, some of the people the police have killed in recent years were unarmed, which has sparked strong anger in several communities across the United States and quite a few questions.

Why did the police have to kill these people? Is there another way to control a dangerous situation that does not involve shooting someone deadly?

These questions became stronger earlier this month after the suspect of being the attacker of New York and New Jersey, Ahmad Khan Rahami, was captured alive , though wounded during a shootout with police.

To understand the officers' perspective on their use of deadly force, CNN interviewed Cedric Alexander, a well-known national police expert and a veteran police chief. Alexander was called in to review the Ferguson Police Department (Missouri), after an officer fatally shot Michael Brown in 2014. He is also currently a Police Chief in DeKalb County, Atlanta.

This is a condensed version of our conversation.

Why do not the cops shoot to hurt?

The officers are trained in "shoot to stop," which usually results in homicide, Alexander explained. The target is fixed in the center of a person's chest because it is the target most likely to hit and, in addition, will shoot down the suspect.

Even for an experienced shooter it would be difficult to give the suspect a leg or arm when there is a fast moving situation. In addition, the injured person could shoot the policeman or someone else.

Why do officers shoot so many times?

Many of the policemen carry semiautomatic pistols instead of revolvers. Two decades ago, officers were trained to fire one or two rounds of their weapons and then assess whether they needed to continue firing.

However, now police are trained to calculate the level of risk while firing, which means the officer can pull the trigger several times before the suspect falls, Alexander explained.

Why do not they take a moment to reassess the threat while the police are firing?

An armed suspect is able to return the shots if the officer pauses, the expert said. Because semi-automatic weapons carry more bullets than six bullets and are easier to recharge, the doctrine of modern police insists on continuing to fire until the security forces and the public are safe.

Why not replace weapons with Tasers?

Legally, policemen are the only ones who can open fire when they feel that their life, or that of someone else, is in danger. However, some may perceive that threat differently. Although all officers are motivated to use non-lethal weapons to subject a suspect when they consider it viable, they may also use deadly force if they believe they are facing an imminent threat of injury.

That argument could easily be dismissed in the case of Tulsa, where the man who was shot had his hands in the air. In fact, the officer has been charged with murder. However, in Charlotte's shooting the position could be more debatable because apparently the suspect had a weapon that he refused to hand over, Alexander explained. The family discusses the fact that there was a weapon.

The Tasers have a range of about 10.67 meters, which allows the police to immobilize the suspects within the same distance from many armed confrontations. However, its safe and effective use requires "a lot of training" that many department does not provide, according to the National Police Training , a website training for security forces.

There are also reservations about the improper use that sometimes are given to the Tasers, leading to abuse by officials and, sometimes, with fatal consequences, explains the website.

(David Klinger, a renowned national expert on police issues at the University of Missouri, argues that officers should only use a taser if they believe they can prevent a situation from escalating to the use of deadly force. Considers that the Taser is an option when there is a second police that can offer "lethal cover", in case the electrical device does not stop the suspect).

A woman opened the emergency door of a plane and jumped

A woman opened the emergency door and jumped out of a plane when the aircraft ran a tennis Houston, alarming the other passengers aboard.

The United Airlines flight had just landed in the city of Houston (United States) from New Orleans and was headed to the landing gate of George Bush Intercontinental Airport when the incident occurred on Monday afternoon. This was reported by the airline's spokeswoman, Maddie King.

"I noticed when the door suddenly opened and a woman came out through it," passenger Hampton Friedman, who was sitting across the aisle and a short video of the open door, told CNN.

The woman, who was not identified, was treated for non-life threatening injuries. She was not charged with any charges.

Fires in Tennessee leave 3 dead; Gatlinburg is in curfew

Three people were killed amid the intense forest fires that broke out in Sevier County, Tennessee. In addition, the authorities consider the possibility of more fires during the night.

Gatlinburg fire chief Greg Miller said Tuesday that the victims were killed in different places, where the fires that began Monday were recorded. Miller also told reporters that he still does not know if there are more people dead.

"We have not been able to reach all areas," he said.

Forest fires have damaged or destroyed hundreds of buildings east and around Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge (Tennessee), tourist areas, for a pretty steep 24 hours, officials said.

"Basically, people are rushing to save their lives," said Gatlinburg Mayor Mike Werner, who apparently lost his home amid the fires, he said when he described the city scene.

Authorities added that they still do not know when residents who have been evacuated from their homes will be able to return. In addition, a curfew was imposed in Gatlinburg from 6 pm to 6 am

In addition, Werner revealed that, in many cases, the destroyed properties are next to buildings that appear to have remained intact or with very little damage.

Care services still assess the destruction left by the flames as they spread, with little warning, from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

"The ash was raining like snow," said Jonathan Fyre, who evacuated his home on Monday night with his wife and children.

Frye is a chef in Dollywood and lives a few yards from the park. He pointed out that the smoke was so thick that it prevented him from seeing clearly the carriages he had in front, when he was driving away from the flames. He added that it was possible to see the fires from the door of his house, but his property was not affected.

It seems that some of the major tourist attractions were spared from the fires, and Miller said that on Tuesday morning the worst had already happened.

On Monday morning, strong winds were pushing fires from the mountains to the most populated areas, destroying houses and businesses in the Gatlinburg area, authorities said.

Forest fires have also burned part of the southeast for weeks by the worst drought in the region in almost fed a decade .

This is what you need to know

• It is estimated that more than 14,000 residents and visitors evacuated the Gatlinburg area, according to information from the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency. Evacuations were also ordered in other communities, including Pigeon Forge.
• About 12 people were taken to hospitals to be cared for, most with non-fatal injuries, Miller said. Three of those with burns were referred to Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, the clinic said.
• Among the hundreds of buildings destroyed in the area, more than 100 are from Gatlingburg, revealed Werner. That includes a 16-story hotel and an apartment complex, TEMA reported. It is estimated that another 150 structures in the counted were affected or destroyed.
• Werner believes his house is among those that were lost by the fires. "But things can be rebuilt. The center of our city is intact and that is very good for our economy "and the future of this place, declared the mayor. "We will rebuild and continue to be the excellent tourist community that we are ... everything will be fine," he added.
• Miller said about 14 fires were still in the city by Tuesday morning, but because the winds were reduced "the worst is definitely over."
• The fires were on the edge of the Dollywood theme park, near Piegeon Forge, on Tuesday morning, officials said.
• The 1,500 animals of the Ripley of the Smokies Aquarium in Gatlinburg are safe, reported the establishment on their Twitter account. However, the staff had to evacuate the place.

'Like a perfect storm'

On Monday morning, a forest fire in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park spread to nearby communities. Strong gusts of wind, up to 140km per hour, spread the flames over long distances. Thus began the different fires that were fed from the trees affected by the drought. The winds also toppled the power lines, starting new fires, Miller said.

"It was like a perfect storm , " he told Cassius Cash, superintendent of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, CNN affiliate WATE .Although it rained on Monday night was too late and too little to prevent the damage suffered by the region, because of the winds and fire.

One of the most famous attractions, the ski area and amusement park Ober Gatlingburg, seemed to be safe. However, on the road leading to the resort what used to be houses were reduced to burnt debris.

Only in some places were the bricks intact. The other parts and interiors of the houses were consumed by fire.

The cars that were parked outside suffered the same fate: his painting was reduced to ash and the tires melted. Trees plucked from their roots rested on the power lines. The smoke tinged a gloomy gray sky.

"It's absolutely devastating," said Mark Nagi of the Tennesse Department of Transportation, who posted Twitter views of the landscape in the area.

The fire also destroyed a series of buildings at Gatlinburg's Westgate Smoky Mountain Resort. On Tuesday, smoke was coming from burned cars and buildings reduced to rubble. Chris Turner posted a video of the damages on Facebook.

"It's all gone, folks," Turner pointed out, referring to a portion of the property's floor. "This was so hot it melted ... the pavement," he explained.

If you can 'evacuate immediately'

Authorities issued evacuation orders for Gatlinburg and nearby areas, including the northern tip of Pigeon Forge: "No one is authorized to be in the city at this time. If you are in Gatlinburg and you can evacuate, do it immediately, "was the instruction.

Pigeon Forge is home to Dollywood, the theme park of actress and singer Dolly Parton. There, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park authorities also evacuated guests, as the flames approached the area.

Parton said in a statement that his heart was broken by the fires and that he was "praying for all affected families." "It's a blessing that my Dollywood park, the DreamMore resort and many other businesses in Pigeon Forge are safe," he added.

Schools in Green, McMinn and Sevier counties were closed, according to the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency.About 12,000 people were without electricity this Tuesday morning at Sevier.

Some evacuation shelters were opened and about 1,300 people spent the night in the community center and park. Some residents were trembling and others needed oxygen after inhaling large amounts of smoke. All had to be accommodated in the care centers.

"We saw how a building collapsed in flames right in front of us," said one of the people who evacuated the site and was rescued by firefighters.

'It simply engulfed us'
Despite evacuation orders, some people - including guests at the Gatlinburg hotel - were not able to leave the area safely, as the fire raged on Monday night.

" I only saw flames everywhere , " said Logan Baker, a guest who was alijando in the Hotel Park Vista, CNN affiliate WATE . He published several videos in which the doors and windows of the hotel glowed with fire that was peeking out.

Baker was among the dozens of guests who could not evacuate because the trees engulfed in flames blocked the only exit road.

The fire did not reach the hotel, but the smoke did enter. Which made breathing difficult for those at the facility, Baker explained.Guests spent Monday night in the hotel lobby with masks on.

The rain could bring relief

Up to half an inch of rain fell overnight Monday and early Tuesday, which may be enough to "virtually stop the spread of fires , " Bill Gabbert, editor in chief of the portal said WildfireToday.com and former executive director of the Association International Forest Fire.

However, he said, it will not be enough to extinguish it. There are still burning logs and areas with fires that are protected by trees. In addition, it will require a strong soak to completely turn off the slats.

What could help most would be the series of storms that are expected to arrive in the area in the early hours of Wednesday and Thursday. They could fall between 2 and 3 inches of rain, meteorologist Dave Hennen told CNN.

Mother accused of injecting feces into IV bag of son with cancer

A mother in Indiana was accused of injecting stool to his son 15 years through intravenous bag that had connected the young during cancer treatment he was receiving at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.

According to Marion Superior Court documents, Tiffany Alberts, a 41-year-old woman from Wolcott (Indiana) used a syringe to repeatedly inject her child's stool between November 13 and 17, putting it in A "situation that threatened his life or health".

The mother claimed that with these actions she was looking for her son to be transferred from the Intensive Care Unit to another unit at Riley Hospital, where she believed that "the treatment was better."

Alberts' son has received treatment for his leukemia at that medical center since early August this year, a Marion police officer said in a sworn statement. The 15-year-old was discharged but returned to the hospital a few days later, in early September, with fever, vomiting and diarrhea, the report said.

The child's blood tests showed that organisms, normally found in fecal matter, caused an infection that the extensive medical evaluation could not explain.

The child's blood tests showed that organisms that are normally found in feces caused an infection that an extensive medical evaluation could not explain.

With the suspicion that someone might be contaminating the patient's intravenous lines, hospital staff began monitoring their room with surveillance cameras. The images revealed that the mother was injecting a substance into the central intravenous line.

Alberts was taken to the Office of Child Abuse for an interrogation, in which she assured that what she was injecting him was water to "clean the medicine they gave their son, because he burned it."Later, he admitted that he was administering to the young man his own stool and stopping the feces in a gift bag hidden in the room's sink, since November 13.

The woman is accused of six counts of assault and one of negligence on a dependent, which resulted in serious bodily harm.

Dr. Veda Ackerman, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Indiana School of Medicine, said her biggest concern is missing the opportunity to keep the boy's leukemia in remission. He added that he "may have died from any of the episodes of septic shock he had, as well as from the leukemia he suffers, due to the prolonged delay in treatment."

The war in Syria leaves 16,000 displaced people from eastern Aleppo, according to the UN

Up to 16,000 people have fled violence in the eastern region of Aleppo, one of the areas devastated by the war in Syria, with food stocks "practically finished" and every hospital bombed, he said Tuesday the head The United Nations.

On Monday night, the Syrian regime continued to strike east of Aleppo with aerial bombardments, while troops tore the territory in an operation to retake the enclave after more than four years of rebel control.

"I am extremely concerned about the fate of civilians as a result of the deeply alarming and chilling situation in the city of Aleppo," Stephen O'Brien, the UN's chief humanitarian officer, said in a statement.

"Initial reports indicate that up to 16,000 people have been displaced, many under precarious and uncertain situations.Thousands more are likely to have no choice but to flee if fighting continues to expand in the coming days, "the United Nations official added.

Government forces and paramilitary groups loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad began a new offensive in eastern Aleppo on November 15, as the regime's warplanes continued to fight in the area to expel rebels and civilians .

They have made a rapid recovery of the territory since they entered the east of Aleppo this Saturday, taking a great portion of the northeast. Russian media quoted his defense minister as saying on Monday that 40 percent of the territory was in the hands of the regime, but sources consulted by CNN say that only 20 percent is recovered.

An activist at the Aleppo Media Center says at least 25 people have died and many others were injured during the night when the regime threw parachute bombs in the Bab al-Nayreb neighborhood.

"There are no means of transport or vehicles on the streets, so civilians are fleeing between 8 and 9 kilometers on foot, carrying what they can with them and their children, and leaving through the western part of Aleppo," An activist told CNN.

On 13 November, the UN distributed the last food rations and the humanitarian advisor of that organization, Jan Egeland last week warned that people in the area were about to starve.

Restore help

Eastern Aleppo has become the epicenter of Syria's civil war, much of that area decimated by regime attacks backed by Russian air power.

Assad has promised to take over the entire Aleppo, which has been divided for years between two: the regime-controlled western area, and the rebel-controlled eastern region.

The government has besieged the east several times, cutting off the outside world for both rebels and civilians, leaving communities on the verge of starvation without enough food, drinking water, fuel and medical supplements.

"I called on all parties to the conflict to restore basic humanitarian aid in Syria," O'Brian said. "I called for them to lift the sieges, making sure not to attack civilians, or civilian infrastructure, and to allow humanitarian organizations secure and unimpeded access to help save the displaced or be besieged."

It is believed that more than 200,000 people still remain in eastern Aleppo, many of them trapped.

Before the evacuations of the last days, UNICEF said that about 100,000 children were there.

Many are too scared to use the government's "human corridors" fearing reprisals once they escape. Others say the rebels forced them to stay.

The beginning of the end?

Retaking all of Aleppo could mark a point of return in the civil war of Syria, because that city is the last strength of the country's rebel forces. Regaining control would put the regime back in charge of the four main cities.

Some observers suggest that it would be from the beginning of the end of the uprising that began in 2011.

A solution to the war has eluded the international community for several years. Russia and the United States have become involved, usually standing in opposite places of the conflict.

Russia has repeatedly used its veto power in the United Nations Security Council to overturn proposed resolutions for the conflict.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault called on the Security Council to meet and review the situation immediately.

"More than ever there is an urgent need for a cessation of hostilities and unhindered access to humanitarian assistance," Ayrault said in a statement, adding that the leader of the Aleppo district councils Brita Hagi Hasan , This Wednesday in Paris.

O'Brien also called for a political solution, saying that "the people of Syria have suffered too much and for a long time."

"More than anything, I hope that a road will soon be opened towards a political solution so that we can give a look of hope to the many millions of Syrian families that are hungry, sick and afraid for their lives tonight," he said.

A seven-year-old Syrian girl says goodbye to Twitter in the midst of bombings

A Syrian girl of seven years, which has attracted international attention tweeting about everyday life in the area controlled by the rebels in the east of Aleppo area, shared a message Sunday night saying his house had been bombed.

"Tonight we do not have a house, it was bombed and I only have debris. I saw dead and I almost died," tweeted Bana Alabed. On Monday, her mother posted an update saying the family was running away.

Syrian regime forces launched a ground assault on Saturday, snatching control of a number of neighborhoods from northeastern Aleppo to the rebels. It is the biggest victory for the Syrian regime since the uprising began more than five years ago.

Fatemah, Bana's mother told CNN that her home was directly impacted Sunday night, forcing them out onto the street to wait for the planes to leave and the bombing cease.

Fatemah, 26, set up a Twitter account for her daughter in late September to "share our life here with the world," while the Syrian army launched a major offensive to retake Aleppo.

"Last message. [We are] under heavy bombardment now, we can not stay alive. When we die, keep talking about the 200,000 who are still inside. Goodbye, "Fatemah tweeted Sunday night before publishing a photograph of his daughter Bana in which she appeared to be covered in dust.

The activist news agency SMART News Agency said on Sunday that air strikes hit the al-Shaar neighborhood, where the Bana family lives, injuring at least five people.

A video shared by SMART showed people in al-Shaar walking away from the scene after the fact.

Fatemah told CNN via a direct Twitter message that her kids - Mohamed aged 5; Noor, 3, and Bana- were not injured during the bombing and his family sought refuge in a neighboring house Saturday night.

Hundreds of civilians have left the eastern part of Aleppo, controlled by the rebels, since the assault that occurred this weekend. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group based in the United Kingdom, said that the number of civilians who have left the city amounts to the thousands.

The Syrian army told state news agency SANA that its units secured evacuation routes for 1,500 people from eastern Aleppo to areas controlled by the regime on Sunday.

On Monday Bana tweeted asking people to pray in the midst of the bombings. Heavy artillery fired by regime forces continued. The Al-Shaar neighborhood remained the target of intense artillery fire by Syrian regime forces on Monday, according to activists at the Aleppo Media Center.

A local Aleppo activist said on Twitter that he knew nothing about Bana's whereabouts and his family, but that "his neighborhood had been heavily attacked."

A few hours later, Fatemah tweeted that his family was fleeing.

"We are fleeing because many people have died from heavy bombardment. We are fighting for our lives. Still with you, "said Fatemah.

"I do not want to die," is the latest message on Bana's Twitter account.
