MEXICO CITY (AP) — President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador launched an ambitious plan Saturday to stimulate economic activity on the Mexican side of the U.S.-Mexico border, reinforcing his country's commitment to manufacturing and trade despite recent U.S. threats to close the border entirely.Mexico will slash income and corporate taxes to 20 percent from 30 percent for 43 municipalities in six states just south of the U.S., while halving to 8 percent the value-added tax in the region. Business leaders and union representatives have also agreed to double the minimum wage along the border, to 176.2 pesos a day, the equivalent of .07 at current exchange rates.Lopez Obrador, who took office on Dec. 1, said the idea is to stoke wage and job growth via fiscal incentives and productivity gains. U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly complained that low wages in Mexico lure jobs from the U.S. Mexico committed to boost wages during last year's negotiations to retool its free trade agreement with the U.S. and Canada.Speaking from Ciudad Juarez, a manufacturing hub south of El Paso, Texas, Lopez Obrador said Saturday he agrees with Trump that Mexican wages "should improve." He decried, for instance, that Mexican auto workers earn a fraction of what their U.S. counterparts take home, topping out at just an hour versus a typical wage of an hour in the U.S.Yet the economic plan comes at a delicate moment for the border region. Trump threatened as recently as last week to close the U.S.-Mexico border "entirely" if Democrats refuse to allot .6 billion to expand the wall that separates the two countries.Economy Minister Graciela Marquez noted Saturday that the border region targeted for economic stimulus accounts for 7.5 percent of Mexico's gross domestic product. And in recent years, she said, the 43 municipalities included in the plan have boasted combined economic growth of 3.1 percent, above the national average of 2.6 percent for the six years through 2017.Much of that robustness owes to trade and proximity with the U.S., the world's biggest economy."We have to take advantage of this locomotive that we have on the other side of the border," she said.Marquez expressed optimism that the stimulus plan will direct more Mexican and foreign investment into the border region. The plan for the border region is part of what Lopez Obrador calls "curtains of development" to shore up different corridors of the country so that Mexicans stay rather than migrating in search of better economic prospects. 2543

Meghan Markle's father described her wedding to Prince Harry as "emotional and joyful" in remarks to the US-celebrity website TMZ on Saturday."My baby looks beautiful and she looks very happy. I wish I were there and I wish them all my love and all happiness," the Mexico-based Thomas Markle, who was due to walk Meghan down the aisle at Windsor Castle before he pulled out due to health issues on Thursday, told TMZ.Meghan, now known as the Duchess of Sussex, made a striking feminist statement during the ceremony on Saturday, choosing not to be chaperoned for much of the procession down the aisle of St. George's Chapel in Windsor.It was an unprecedented step for a royal bride in the UK. Meghan walked unescorted down the aisle of the chapel nave, accompanied in this first part of the wedding procession only by her bridesmaids and page boys.Harry's father, Prince Charles, joined Meghan as she reached the Quire, where the main royal guests were seated, then walking her to the foot of the altar.Her elegant white dress with an open bateau neckline was by British designer Clare Waight Keller, Givenchy's first female artistic director. Her 16-foot-long veil was held in place by a diamond bandeau tiara lent to her by the Queen.Speculation over the health of 73-year-old Thomas Markle, and a controversy over whether he staged a series of paparazzi-style photographs, had caused a stir in the lead up to the ceremony earlier this week.Kensington Palace has faced criticism for not doing enough to protect Thomas Markle from the inevitable glare of publicity that would come with the build up to the wedding.In a statement provided by Kensington Palace Thursday, Meghan said that she has "always cared for my father and hope he can be given the space he needs to focus on his health."The-CNN-Wire 1811

MILFORD, Ohio -- Tiffany Stone had a feeling she wasn't going to make it to the hospital when she started going into labor with her daughter, Ember Ray. "I knew it was moving really fast, and that's when I really started feeling pressure like she was getting close, and I just so happened to have her on the road," Stone said. Stone and her husband, Patrick Stone, welcomed their third child into the world Friday morning in a parking lot in Milford, Ohio, just outside of Cincinnati."We hit a curve, and it was like she was born," Tiffany Stone said. "And right in the middle of that turn, she had the baby, caught the baby, and I looked over and almost wrecked because I couldn't believe the baby was in her arm," Patrick Stone said.He called 911, and Miami Township Fire and Police came out to assist the family and take the family to Anderson Mercy Hospital."I don't think it really becomes real until you actually see the baby," Tiffany Stone said. "I mean, you go through all the motions and pregnancy sickness, but once the baby is actually on you and on your chest, it's the most incredible, it's just a beautiful miracle. It's the most beautiful thing."Ember was born a healthy 6.5 lbs. girl. "She was born on Good Friday, and you know, it's a really good, happy day today," Tiffany Stone said. 1331

Millions of American children are spending this fall semester taking at least some of their classes online, through Zoom, Google Meet and other platforms.And while many of the bugs, glitches and surprise Zoom "bombings" of this past spring have been fixed, experts say many threats remain.Arneesha Collins, parent of an elementary-aged boy, worries what her son is exposed to when she is not watching."I already don't want my son on the iPad or computer a lot," she said, "because when he gets on there he is already on YouTube."Laura Pipitone has two young children doing some learning at home, and says the technology is still frustratingly glitch-filled."Especially on the iPads the younger kids get, I have to log out and log back in every session," Pipitone said.She is afraid to leave her youngest one alone long at the computer."Parents are kind of expected to be in the room, so I feel like I am back in kindergarten," she said. "It's hard!"Cyber security expert Dave Hatter says hackers and predators are looking at all those children learning online as prime targets."These sort of threats against children have risen during the pandemic," Hatter said, "because kids are spending a lot of time online. You get things like 'Zoom bombing' where someone is screaming racial epithets or is semi-clothed and shows up in the video."Four things parents can doHatter, the head of Intrust IT, says parents of online learners need to take four basic security steps to ensure their screens are not open to prying eyes.Step 1: He says you should start by making sure your WiFi router is not using the default 1-2-3-4 password, or using a password that every kid in the neighborhood knows by now."It's difficult for parents to stay on top of this, but the bad guys on the other hand learn what the cool thing is, because they know where the kids will be," Hatter said.Step 2: Make sure you do regular updates of your PC and software, which patches holes that hackers will take advantage of."Installing the Windows updates is an absolute must," Hatter said. "But you gotta make sure you are updating Zoom as well, and the other software you are using on these devices."And he says make sure your school is following the latest suggestions for safe Zooming, such as the teacher being in the room at all times, and guests having to be invited in.Step 3: Hatter says you need to talk to your kids. Instruct your children to watch for strangers popping up online trying to befriend them on TikTok, Instagram, or other sites that, face it, kids often visit when class becomes boring."Warn your kids about this sort of thing. Tell them not to give personal info to someone you don't know; never agree to meet someone," he said.Step 4: Consider parental software for younger elementary-age children. Hatter suggests you look at services like Net Nanny, Norton Family Premier, Qustodio, or Kaspersky Safe Kids that limits sites children can visit, and tells you where they have been. (PCMag rates the top parental software program).Some services will also run your computer through a VPN (Virtual Private Network) that encrypts your data, making it almost impossible for a hacker to peek in.Arneesha Collins is happy her school has moved to a hybrid system, with some in-class learning, but can't wait for the days when full-time school returns."I wish they were back in school, yeah," she said.___________________________Don't Waste Your Money" is a registered trademark of Scripps Media, Inc.
