French lawmakers voted late on Saturday to abolish domestic flights on routes than can be covered by train in under two-and-a-half hours, as the government seeks to lower carbon emissions even as the air travel industry reels from the global pandemic.

Two new genetic studies have shed light on just how often our ancestors got frisky with Neanderthals. Scientists analyzed the genomes of 45,000-year-old human remains found in caves in Czechia and Bulgaria, including the oldest known genome of a modern human, and found that they all had relatively…

The CCRB, the city’s watchdog agency charged with investigating civilian complaints against cops, exonerated NYPD Det. Lawrence Avvenire, who was accused of abuse of authority for his role in the December 2017 raid.

Threats of legal action made by the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts and an online petition circulating among Cambodians led the website to take down the story PHNOM PENH--An article published at VICE—a news website covering politics, social issues and culture—has sparked outrage among Cambodians who viewed as morally unacceptable and contemptuous to the victims of the Khmer Rouge regime to have retouched their portraits taken before they were tortured and executed. This article also led the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts (MCFA) on April 11 to threaten legal action if VICE did not immediately remove the article and photos from its website. Within hours of the ministry issuing its warning, VICE on April 11 had taken the article off its site. In an interview with Irish artist Matt Loughrey posted on VICE on April 9 and entitled “These People Were Arrested by the Khmer Rouge and Never Seen Again,” Loughrey explained that he had altered photos of prisoners of the regime’s extermination camp Tuol Sleng to revitalize their history. The photos posted with his interview had not only been colorized but had also been digitally altered to add smiles on the faces of the victims of the camp known as S-21 during the Pol Pot regime. “MCFA does not accept this kind of manipulation and considers this work of Matt Loughrey to seriously affect the dignity of the victims, the reality of Cambodia’s history, and in violation of the rights of the Museum as the lawful owners and custodians of these photographs,” the ministry had stated in its announcement, adding that the ministry had never been in communication with Loughrey.

The law is part of growing evidence the Black Lives Matter movement is changing policing.

An analysis of mask mandates in German towns found that they may have reduced covid-19 infections by about forty-five per cent. Another study examined U.S. states with mask mandates, and found that the daily growth of infections was two per cent lower in states where a mask mandate had been in place for a few weeks. By April, 2020, the W.H.O., the Centers for Disease Control, and other groups decided that there was enough evidence, and recommended face coverings. The C.D.C. now firmly concludes that “experimental and epidemiological data support community masking to reduce the spread of sars-CoV-2.” Yet Tegnell remained unsatisfied. In April, 2020, he wrote a letter to the European Center for Disease Control urging against a mask recommendation, saying, “The argument for and evidence for an effect of face covering to limit the spread from asymptomatic persons is not clear. . . . The arguments against are at least as convincing.”

West Virginia senator Joe Manchin’s opposition to increasing the corporate tax rate benefits the legal services industry that bankrolled his election bids. It’s simple — Democrats need to pick between pro-working-class legislation and the business interests they’re aligned with.

When local councilors adopted a resolution two years ago declaring their small town in southeastern Poland “free of LGBT,” the mayor didn’t see much harm in what appeared to be a symbolic and legally pointless gesture. Today, he’s scrambling to contain the damage. The May 2019 decision has become a costly embarrassment for the town of Krasnik. It has jeopardized millions of dollars in foreign funding and, Mayor Wojciech Wilk said, turned “our town into a synonym for homophobia,” which he insisted was not accurate.

“What an absolute garbage dumpster fire,” one Telegram user wrote.

The New York Times’ Amazon union election coverage is a tale as old as time: When workers vote to back a union, employers blame outside agitators. When workers reject a union after a massive anti-union campaign by the boss, it was the workers’ own free choice.

In late 2004, the two damaged Su-25UBs were brought to Abidjan Houphouët-Boigny IAP, where they joined the two Su-25 single-seaters that had sustained minor damage as a result of French reprisals. It appears that Ivory Coast was interested in bringing the aircraft back into service, but any attempt at doing so would have required parts or entire subsections to be brought in from abroad, something the arms embargo imposed on Ivory Coast obviously prevented. As a result, the Su-25s continued to languish in the air force hangar. [1]
