Menendez corruption charges complicate tense ties with Egypt

Image
[ad_1] Comment on this story Comment Allegations that a leading U.S. senator acted secretly to advance Egyptian interests in a bribery scheme have injected a new, combustible element into Washington’s relationship with Cairo, testing a partnership already strained by growing regional competition and friction over human rights. The Justice Department on Friday announced an explosive indictment against Sen. Robert Menendez — the influential New Jersey Democrat who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee — and his wife in what prosecutors described as a complex cash-for-influence arrangement. Federal agents cited the discovery of gold bars and over $480,000 in cash hidden in Menendez’s New Jersey home, which they alleged were received from an Egyptian-American business and other associates in exchange for favors, some of which benefited the government of President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi. Most worrying for the Biden administration may be the array of unnamed Egyptian officials, a

Biden urges Detroit automakers, union to forge deal as deadline looms

Image
[ad_1] Comment on this story Comment One month before a deadline that could turn contentious automotive contract talks into strikes, President Biden urged Detroit’s Big Three car companies and the United Auto Workers to forge a deal. Automakers should “take every possible step” to avoid closing plants and keep jobs in their existing manufacturing communities when they need to retool, Biden said in a statement. They should also pay wages that can support a family and honor workers’ right to organize, he added. The president also suggested a word of caution for the UAW as it puts big wage-increase demands on the table, saying that the U.S. auto industry needs to “successfully compete domestically and globally.” Biden framed his statement as particularly vital amid a broad industry retooling to produce electric vehicles. “The middle class built America, and unions built the middle class,” he said. “The need to transition to a clean energy economy should provide a win‑win opportunit

Can't Order Introduction of Legal Studies as Subject in Schools: Delhi HC

A bench headed by Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma observed that framing of a course falls within the sole domain of expert bodies and courts are not equipped to substitute for them. The new education policy of the Government of India is catering to the country’s need, it said. The bench, also comprising Justice Subramonium Prasad, however, added the petitioner shall be free to submit a representation to CBSE, the competent authority o

[ad_1] Charlotte Gibson, ESPN May 12, 2023, 07:00 AM ET BONNIE O'REILLY LIES in a hospital bed at the London Health Sciences Centre about an hour from her home in Bayfield, Ontario. A peripheral venous catheter is affixed to her left hand. A disposable mask spreads across her face, and a blue gown drapes her body. A faded, patterned curtain divides her and the patient in the bed just a few feet away. It's March 3, 2021, and in a few hours, she will undergo a three-hour surgery to donate a kidney. The recipient of her kidney is 64-year-old Graham Nesbitt, who opened the local rink more than two decades ago as early as 6:30 a.m. on snow days and after regular hours to let the O'Reilly boys get extra time on the ice. Nesbitt managed the nearby Seaforth Arena and ultimately had a hand in developing the talents of Stanley Cup winner Ryan O'Reilly and Cal O'Reilly , who plays in the AHL. On the other side of the curtain, Nesbitt lies on a white hospital bed. His gla

Biden signs bill to ensure

Image
[ad_1] President Joe Biden on Thursday signed into law a bill aimed at easing the cost for prisoners to call family and friends. The legislation clarifies that the Federal Communications Commission, which regulates interstate and international communications through cable, radio, television, satellite and wire, can set limits for fees on audio and video calls inside corrections facilities. Phone calls from prisons and jails are a lifeline for those incarcerated, but the cost varies widely and can be a financial drain on families already struggling to make ends meet with an adult behind bars. Right now, Kentucky has the highest cost for a 15-minute call, at $5.70, and $9.99 for a cellphone call, while New Hampshire charges only 20 cents for the same amount of time. There are more than 1.2 million people in state and federal prisons, and tens of thousands more are incarcerated in jails nationwide awaiting trial or sentencing. Less likely

Hunger worsened among U.S. households in 2022, report finds

Image
[ad_1] Comment on this story Comment Add to your saved stories Save More than 44.2 million Americans lived in households that struggled with hunger in 2022, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture report released Wednesday — an increase of 10.3 million over the previous year. The new figures, from the agency’s Economic Research Service, show an end to a nearly decade-long decrease in the number of families reporting food insecurity, at a time when food prices remain elevated because of inflation. The report paints a difficult picture for many households considered food-insecure — meaning they did not have consistent, dependable access to enough food for active, healthy living. The percentage of U.S. households facing very low food security increased from 3.8 percent in 2021 to 5.1 percent in 2022, the report found. The study found statistically significant increases in food insecurity across almost all categories compared with the previous year. One in 8 U.S. households str
