(AP) \u2014 North Dakota health officials say they have seen another day of low rates of positive COVID-19 cases and virus-related hospitalizations. The news comes as all counties moved to a \u201clow\u201d risk on the state&#8217;s five-level risk model, which means some restrictions can be loosened. Among them, bars and restaurants can now be filled up to 80% capacity and have up to 300 customers, with social distancing and masks strongly recommended or required. Health officials reported 153 new COVID-19 cases on Friday and two new deaths. In all, more than 97,000 people have been infected with COVID-19 in North Dakota and 1,419 have died since the pandemic began.<\/p>\n<p>COVID 19 Stats<\/p>\n<p>Fri.

(AP) \u2014 The fossil fuel and ethanol industries are seeking to advance cleaner energy technologies in North Dakota at a time when a new administration in Washington is tackling climate change. A proposal introduced in a House committee would create a new arm of the North Dakota Industrial Commission. It would be tasked with overseeing the distribution of $25 million in state grants and loans for projects that \u201creduce environmental impacts and use energy sources derived from within the state.\u201d Critics say the proposal leaves the renewable power sector behind.<\/p>\n<p>In world and national news&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The FBI says two pipe bombs left at the offices of the Republican and Democratic national committees, discovered just before thousands of pro-Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol, had actually been placed the night before. The FBI says the investigation revealed that the explosive devices had been placed outside the two buildings between 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Jan. 5. The devices were not located by law enforcement until the next day. It is not clear whether that means the pipe bombs were unrelated to the next day\u2019s riot or were part of the riot planning. Both buildings are within a few blocks of the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Capitol Police say they are stepping up security at Washington-area transportation hubs and taking other steps to bolster travel safety for lawmakers. The moves come as Congress continues to react to this month\u2019s deadly assault on the Capitol. The Associated Press obtained an email Friday in which the House\u2019s chief law enforcement officer said Capitol Police will be stationed at area airports and Washington\u2019s Union Station on busy travel days. Timothy P. Blodgett is the acting sergeant at arms, and he wrote that the agency was also setting up an online portal for lawmakers\u2019 offices to use to notify them of their travel plans.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 A former FBI lawyer has been sentenced to probation for altering a document the Justice Department relied on during its surveillance of an aide to President Donald Trump during the Russia investigation. Kevin Clinesmith at his sentencing hearing Friday apologized for doctoring the email about Carter Page\u2019s relationship with the CIA. He said he was \u201ctruly ashamed\u201d of what he had done. Prosecutors sought several months in prison for Clinesmith, but the judge said Clinesmith&#8217;s action was the only stain on his record and that he had already endured public vilification.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(AP)\u00a0 Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a bill extending the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty between Russia and the United States a week before the pact was due to expire. Both houses of the Russian parliament voted unanimously Wednesday to extend the New START treaty for five years. Putin and U.S. President Joe Biden had discussed the nuclear accord a day earlier, and the Kremlin said they agreed to complete the necessary extension procedures in the next few days. The pact\u2019s extension doesn\u2019t require congressional approval in the U.S., but Russian lawmakers had to ratify the move before Putin could sign off on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BRUSSELS (AP) \u2014 The European Union has introduced tighter rules on exports of COVID-19 vaccines that could hit shipments to nations like the United Kingdom, as the 27-nation bloc and AstraZeneca made public a heavily redacted version of their vaccine deal that\u2019s at the heart of a dispute over the delivery schedule. The contract agreed to last year allows the EU\u2019s member countries to buy 300 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine, with an option for a further 100 million doses. The EU said it has invested $408 million to finance the production of AstraZeneca\u2019s serum at four factories, but it lashed out at the British-Swedish drugmaker this week after it said it wouldn&#8217;t be able to deliver the 80 million doses that it hoped to provide initially.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>TORONTO (AP) \u2014 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is announcing stricter restrictions on travelers response to new, likely more contagious variants of the novel coronavirus. The new requirements make it mandatory for travelers to quarantine in a hotel at their own expense when they arrive in Canada and includes suspending airline service to Mexico and all Caribbean destinations until April 30. Trudeau says in addition to the pre-boarding test Canada already requires, the government will be introducing mandatory PCR testing at the airport for people returning to Canada. He says travelers will then have to wait for up to three days at an approved hotel for their test results, at their own expense.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSi Weather&#8230; ..WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT FRIDAY NIGHT TO 6 PM CST SATURDAY&#8230;INCLUDES BARNES, STUTSMAN WHAT&#8230;Mixed precipitation expected.
