Anti-Tory posters made their appearance, some recycled from 2014, others with a fresh angle. “Our colonial status has been confirmed – and the law is an ass!” read one. Groups of gays huddled together, warming up their instruments and stopping for a cigarette break. The Proclaimers were blasted by an onstage stereo, sponsored by the Scottish Independence Foundation....

The landmark Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe V. Wade has sparked an influx of Americans to take measures to prevent pregnancy, including vasectomy and the creation of a Plan B pill. “It’s not right for everyone,” Lyon Lenk told Fox 17 about the decision to have a vasectomy after Roe was ousted. “Either I take this, or we take a risk [his fiancee] “To refuse a procedure afterwards and that is unacceptable to me, therefore it is not a sacrifice, it is the right thing to do....

Guzmán, who led negotiations with the IMF and private sector creditors, announced his resignation via Twitter on Saturday night. He published a seven-page letter in which he cited “political agreement within the governing coalition” as a crucial factor for his successor – a reference to government infighting. An ally of President Alberto Fernandez, Guzmán is the latest and most senior of four cabinet members to resign in recent months. His departure dealt another blow to the president, who faces dismal polls, inflation forecast to top 70 percent this year and government bond prices in trouble territory....

But instead of setting the stage for this scenario, China has reinforced its commitment to “zero Covid”, implementing emergency lockdowns and contact tracing. Meanwhile, daily vaccinations fell to record lows. Intensive care beds remained in short supply, even as workers built testing rooms and isolation facilities. Research on indigenous mRNA vaccines has failed to keep pace with the rapidly mutating virus. Now, the costs of that approach are piling up, putting China in a bind from which there appears to be no easy escape, scientists said in interviews....

Authorities said they did not know how many climbers were hit when the glacier retreated Sunday on Marmolada, the highest mountain in the Italian Dolomites. Its collapse sent ice and rock thundering down the hillside at 185 miles per hour, according to Trento provincial chief Maurizio Fugati. On Monday, rescuers armed with thermal drones searched for body heat from potential survivors trapped in the ice. But the chances of finding more survivors now “are slim” because too much time has probably passed since the deadly avalanche, head of the regional Alpine rescue service Giorgio Gadger said in comments to the AGI news agency....

In two days of riveting testimony, Klein, 57 — poised, expressive and confident, and draped in a trim frame — came across as exactly what she is: a top executive aide who witnessed extraordinary events. About halfway through Wednesday’s recitation, her testimony took a turn that could have been taken from a mob court. Klein, assistant to Arnon Milchan, the Hollywood producer and close friend of Netanyahu for the past thirty years, described her efforts to conceal the identity of the beneficiary of her purchases from “Cookie,” the owner of a tony....

Das 18-köpfige Gremium wurde eingesetzt, um Maßnahmen gegen das Coronavirus zu evaluieren und damit Politikempfehlungen für die Zukunft zu geben. Dies ist vor allem deshalb wichtig, weil die bisherigen Schutzmaßnahmen gegen das Coronavirus Ende September auslaufen. Vor allem die FDP bremst das Berliner Ampelbündnis aus und hat immer darauf bestanden, die Empfehlungen des Expertenausschusses abzuwarten, bevor sie über weitere Maßnahmen gegen das Coronavirus spricht. Doch ihre Arbeit war umstritten, so verließ beispielsweise der renommierte Virologe Christian Drosten von der Charité in Berlin die Gruppe im April....
