New Miss USA from DC to take a break from Army reserves
LAS VEGAS — The newly crowned Miss USA is a 26-year-old Army officer from the District of Columbia who gave perhaps the strongest answer of the night when asked about women in combat. “As a woman in the United States Army, I think ... we are just as tough as men. As a commander of my unit, I’m powerful, I am dedicated,” Deshauna Barber said. “Gender does not limit us in the United States.” The winner of Sunday’s 2016 Miss USA competition held at the T-Mobile Arena off the Las Vegas Strip will go on to compete in the Miss Universe contest. Barber is the first-ever military member to win Miss USA. In a press conference following the event, the 26year-old lieutenant from Northeast DC said she plans to take a break from the Army Reserves and had already discussed with superiors the possibility of going inactive for a couple of years should she win the title. She said she currently serves two days per month. “My commander should be watching right now,” Barber said. “Two days a month is definitely not active duty. It is an obligation that I signed up for but they are very flexible in the United States Army Reserves.” Barber said she plans to use the pageant’s spotlight and her title to support veteran’s causes and tackle the

issue of suicide and post-traumatic stress disorder among military members. When asked what message she had for the presidential candidates — including former pageant owner and presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump — Barber said they should focus more on veteran’s issues, including the backlog at veterans hospitals. “I think that a lot of the topics that they discuss isn’t as important,” she said in a glittering gold gown. Barber’s not the only contestant who had to address the election and the Republican candidate, who had a public break-up with the beauty pageant organization last year. Trump offended Hispanics when he made anti-immigrant remarks in announcing his bid for the White House last June. He at the time co-owned The Miss Universe Organization with NBCUniversal, but the network and the Spanish-language broadcaster Univision quickly cut ties with him, refusing to air the show. Trump sued both networks, eventually settling and selling off the entire pageant to talent management company WME/IMG. Miss Hawaii, who came in second Sunday night, punted during the question-and-answer segment when asked who she would vote for among the likely presidential candidates, Trump or Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Ukraine says detained man planned attacks on Euro soccer championship in France
KIEV - Ukraine’s state security service said on Monday a French citizen detained in late May on the border with Poland had been planning attacks in France to coincide with the Euro 2016 soccer championship it is hosting. The Ukrainian border guard service reported on Saturday that the unnamed 25-year-old had been arrested with an arsenal of weapons and explosives in-
cluding rocket launchers and Kalashnikov assault rifles in his vehicle. SBU chief Vasyl Hrytsak said the man had made contact with armed
groups in Ukraine with the aim of buying weapons and explosives. His intended targets included Jewish and Muslim places of worship and buildings involved with the soccer tournament, Gritsak said. French government administration buildings, including those dealing with tax collection, were also a target.

“The Frenchman spoke negatively about his government’s actions, mass immigration, the spread of Islam and globalisation, and also talked about plans to carry out several terrorist attacks,” Gritsak told journalists. “The SBU was able to prevent a series of 15 acts of terror (planned) for the eve and during the Euro soccer

championship,” he said. A French foreign ministry spokesman confirmed that a Frenchman has been arrested in Ukraine and said the ministry was in contact with Ukrainian authorities. Meanwhile a police source in Paris said French police were sceptical about the affair. The person in question was not known to either police or intelligence services and police had not found anything incriminating in a search of his home in the Meuse region of France, the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Security officials in Europe are on high alert after Islamist militants killed 130 people in Paris last November and suicide bombers killed 32 people at Belgium’s main international airport and on the Brussels metro in March. The United States has warned its citizens of possible further attacks in Europe, saying targets could include Euro 2016 which opens in France on Friday. Gritsak said the SBU had sold deactivated weapons to the suspect after they found out that he was looking to purchase the arms.

Crime at hotel on the rise
Security synergy should be encouraged
VA R I O U S criminal cases occurred at hotel, particularly in the South Badung. They range from theft,
fraud, snatching to murder. Such cases definitely disrupt the image of Bali security. Hotel must be sterile from the presence of people having no interests. On that account, police often advise to tighten security starting from
the hotel gates. Moreover, terrorist acts and ISIS are still looming this island. The recent case was snatching experienced by a student, Lisa Mega Surya Putra, 23, at the lobby of the Hotel Horison in South
Kuta. The hotel security system is questionable because the culprit could get into the hotel lobby to commit its action. When asking for confirmation about the incident via telephone, receptionist of the Hotel Horison, Jordi, suggested contact-
ing chief security for more details about the incident. He admitted not to know about the incident because he just worked. Continued on page 2 Security...
