Un hombre de Maryland fue declarado culpable de matar a golpes a su esposa y luego intentar ocultar los hechos para que pareciera que había muerto durante un robo en la casa que compartían en Silver Spring.  Reginald Dunlap Jr. fue declarado culpable de asesinato el viernes por la muerte de Lauren Charles, de 40 años.Charles intentó terminar su relación con Dunlap en marzo del 2021 tras descubrir que le había sido infiel, según fiscales de la acusación. Los fiscales dijeron que Dunlap ató una funda de almohada en la garganta de su esposa y la golpeó hasta matarla con una estatua de Buda en su casa. Luego, echó lejía en su cuerpo y saqueó la habitación para tratar de montar la escena del crimen para que pareciera que alguien irrumpió en la casa.“Fue a la iglesia por la mañana después de matarla, para crearse una coartada. Pensó que se saldría con la suya. Pero no lo hizo”, dijo Debbie Feinstein, jefa de la Unidad de Víctimas Especiales de la Oficina del Fis...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Pat Schroeder, a pioneer for women’s and family rights in Congress, died Monday night. She was 82.Schroeder's former press secretary, Andrea Camp, said Schroeder suffered a stroke recently and died at a hospital in Florida, the state where she had been residing. Gun measures advance through Colorado legislature Schroeder took on the powerful elite with her rapier wit and antics for 24 years, shaking up stodgy government institutions by forcing them to acknowledge that women had a role in government.Her unorthodox methods cost her important committee posts, but Schroeder said she wasn’t willing to join what she called ``the good old boys’ club″ just to score political points. Unafraid of embarrassing her congressional colleagues in public, she became an icon for the feminist movement.Schroeder was elected to Congress in Colorado in 1972 and became one of its most influential Democrats as she won easy reelection 11 times from her safe district in D...

Paris stinks! Fears of a rat invasion as garbage strike hits French capital

Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 03:15:28 GMT

PARIS — In the French capital, the garbage collectors are on strike, which means there is stinking trash piled high in the streets, politicians screaming at one another, and a likely invasion by … rats!Garbage bags could be seen piling up on the sidewalks of Paris over the weekend — especially in areas with many restaurants — forming shoulder-high piles of waste. That’s because the city’s garbage collectors have been on strike since March 6 in protest at a controversial reform of France’s pension system championed by President Emmanuel Macron.The reform would increase the age of retirement for garbage collectors — who can at present retire early with reduced benefits on account of the hardship of their work, which has been shown to affect their life expectancy — from 57 to 59.As a consequence, around 5,600 tons of uncollected waste lay in the streets of the capital on Monday — day eight of the strike — according to the Paris mayor’s office, quoted by F...

Gary Lineker 1, BBC 0. That was the consensus in Westminster on Monday as the U.K.’s national broadcaster was forced into an apology and an embarrassing climbdown following a bitter impartiality row with its star football presenter.It followed a week in which what initially seemed a brief Twitterstorm was allowed to snowball into a far-reaching saga that gripped the watching public, drove a wrecking ball through Britain’s treasured weekend sports coverage, and raised broader questions about BBC impartiality, the role of social media and the broadcaster’s murky links to senior Tory figures.It was announced Monday that Lineker, a former England striker who is paid more than £1 million a year by the BBC, will be back presenting Britain’s long-running football show Match of the Day this weekend, having been abruptly taken off air ahead of last week’s program. The brief suspension came after Lineker triggered a social media storm by comparing the U.K. g...

Paschal Donohoe is the Eurogroup president and the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform of Ireland.In recent years, the pace of innovation and change in the financial and payments sector has been exponential. We can now make payments, transfer money, and invest by using tools that didn’t even exist a few years ago. And between 2019 and 2022, the share of euro area mobile payments more than tripled in both number and value.These new technologies can benefit both consumers and companies, enabling greater access to financial services, offering more choices and increasing the efficiency of operations.
