Luis Diaz inspires Liverpool fightback to beat Villarreal after second-leg scare
By PA Staff published
Liverpool booked their third Champions League final in five seasons after a chaotic 3-2 second-leg win in Villarreal saw them progress 5-2 on aggregate.
While the three-goal cushion may look comfortable this was a test of their nerve and powers of recovery as an awful first half by their standards saw their first-leg advantage wiped out by debut goals in the competition from Boulaye Dia and Francis Coquelin.
But the half-time introduction of £37.5million January signing Luis Diaz, who has reinvigorated 2022 for Jurgen Klopp’s side, changed the game – aided and abetted by a distinctly ordinary goalkeeping performance from the hosts’ Geronimo Rulli.

The Argentinian had a hand – or lack of one – in all of Liverpool’s three goals from Fabinho, Diaz and Sadio Mane in 12 second-half minutes and was culpable for at least two.
Villarreal’s misery was completed when Etienne Capoue was sent off for a second yellow card for a foul on Curtis Jones late on.
Incredibly this was the first European semi-final away leg the 2019 winners had won since 1985, having lost the last four and conceded 11 goals in total yet still progressed on three occasions.
Thunderstorms on Monday night had given way to persistent rain throughout matchday – causing some localised flooding – and while that may have dampened the surface inside Estadio de la Ceramica it did not affect the atmosphere.
Klopp had warned his side would have to suffer in parts of this tie but he could not have expected that to start so early and last for so long.
The LaLiga side, conquerors of Juventus and Bayern Munich, did not manage a shot on target at Anfield last week but scored with their first here in only the third minute.
Pervis Estupinan’s cross was met at the far post by Capoue, whose mis-hit shot found Dia to score into an unguarded net.
Villarreal were hoping to become just the second side to overturn a two-goal first-leg deficit in a semi-final, after Liverpool’s famous comeback from 3-0 down against Barcelona in 2019 – and their opponents gave them every encouragement.
Boosted by the return of striker Gerard Moreno, they were aggressive and direct but the manner in which the visitors failed to handle that was startling.
Naby Keita was preferred to captain Jordan Henderson after a good goalscoring performance at Newcastle on Saturday, but this was surely an occasion to be controlled not cavalier.
Liverpool were overrun in midfield, which was not entirely Keita’s fault, and their failure to string any significant sequence of passes together only contributed to the chaotic nature of their performance.
Even when they did get in behind the Villarreal defence, Jota’s touch was heavy from Mohamed Salah’s through-ball and gave Rulli enough of a chance to reach it. He did not claim cleanly but Salah’s follow-up challenge was deemed a foul.
Prior to this game Klopp’s side had been behind for only 57 minutes in 2022 but by the break they had not only trailed for 42 minutes but were even further behind.
They were lucky to escape conceding a penalty when Keita’s misplaced back-pass straight to Moreno set up Giovani Lo Celso but he ran the ball too close to Alisson and the goalkeeper was given the benefit of the doubt as the ball hit him just before the player went over him.
But the second goal came four minutes from the interval when Capoue’s inviting cross to the far post was met by Coquelin, who out-jumped Alexander-Arnold to float a header into the top corner.
Swapping Diaz for Jota for the second half made an immediate improvement, allowing Mane to play centrally where he has done well recently.
And as Liverpool started to build pressure, Alexander-Arnold had a long-range shot deflected onto the crossbar while Diaz acrobatically volleyed wide from Mane’s cross.
It finally told in the 62nd minute when Salah slid in Fabinho and his low, angled drive went through Rulli at his near post.
𝐁𝐈𝐆 moment from Fab.— Liverpool FC (@LFC) May 3, 2022
The two-goal cushion was restored five minutes later when Diaz’s downward header from a left-footed Alexander-Arnold cross was only half-saved and Liverpool’s tumbling Colombia international inadvertently turned it in.
But Rulli’s eventful night was not over as when he charged 20 yards outside his area to meet the onrushing Mane, the Senegal international side-stepped him then took the ball wider to avoid the recovering defender before rolling the ball into an open goal.
Liverpool are into a third final of the season, having won the Carabao Cup and facing Chelsea in the FA Cup a week on Saturday, and this victory means they will have played every game available to them in their fixture calendar.
The relentless pursuit of a quadruple – and a seventh European Cup – rolls on.

Moment Ukrainian drone captures the destruction of Russia's most advanced main battle tank
- A video released by the Ukrainian military showed the destruction of some tanks
- One of the destroyed tanks is believed to be a highly advanced Russian T-90M
- As well as the tanks, the footage showed a thermobaric rocket system explode
- It is claimed that this is the first Russian T-90M to be destroyed in Ukraine
This is the moment Ukrainian troops destroy one of Russia's most advanced tanks which are protected by special reactive armour.
The armour on the T-90M is designed to explode when hit reducing the penetrative power of an incoming round.
The tank is also protected with a automated defence system which fires smoke grenades when it is 'painted' by a laser beam used by an incoming missile.
However, the Ukrainian military released drone footage on a Russian armoured unit which resulted in the destruction of the £4million tank as well as a thermobaric multiple rocket system.
Ukrainian forces are believed to have destroyed one of Russia's most advanced Main Battle Tanks in the north east of the country. The T-90M is thought to have additional protection against modern weapon systems
A Ukrainian drone monitored a Russian tank as a missile attack was incoming
The Russians were unaware they were only moments from destruction
The drone showed several armoured vehicles blow up in quick succession
The Ukrainian military said the attacks took place in the north-eastern Ukrainian region of Kharkiv Oblast.
Intelligence officers identified clusters of Russian equipment and coordinated with ground troops to mount a series of attacks, reportedly destroying two tanks and two MTLB (Russian transport vehicles).
The Command of the Special Operations Forces (SSO) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) said Monday: 'The Resistance Movement of the SSO of Ukraine is working.
'In the Kharkiv region, during reconnaissance operations, our soldiers discovered clusters of enemy equipment, including heavy armoured and lightly armoured vehicles.'
They added: 'An hour after the priority targets for the strike were determined, soldiers of the Resistance Movement coordinated a unit of one of the artillery brigades and adjusted the fire on enemy targets.
One of the tanks is believed to be a highly advanced Russian T-90M
'As a result of joint work of soldiers of the Defence Forces of Ukraine, the losses of the Russians amounted to: T-90 tank - destroyed. T-80BVM tank - destroyed. MTLB - destroyed. MTLB - damaged.'
Ukraine believes Russia has so far lost 23,800 troops in the ten weeks since their invasion.
The Ukrainian military also claims that Russia has lost 1,048 battle tanks, 2,519 combat armoured vehicles, 459 artillery systems, 152 MLR systems, 80 anti-aircraft systems, 194 warplanes, 155 helicopters, 1,824 vehicles, 8 vessels, 76 fuel tank trucks, 271 operational-tactical level UAVs, 38 units of special equipment, and four mobile SRBM systems. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10783207/Ukraine-war-Russian-T-90M-main-battle-tank-destroyed.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-05-04T23:47:25Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10783207/Ukraine-war-Russian-T-90M-main-battle-tank-destroyed.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
Ryan Sessegnon: We would not swap Harry Kane and Son Heung-min for anyone
By PA Staff published
Tottenham wing-back Ryan Sessegnon insists he would not swap Harry Kane and Son Heung-min for any of Liverpool’s front five.
Spurs’ star duo again combined to fire their side to three points on Sunday as Kane opened the scoring and Son grabbed a double in a 3-1 win over Leicester.
Liverpool’s attacking options – Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz – are widely regarded to be the best in the division, but Sessegnon says he would prefer to have Kane and Son over all of them.
Son ➡️ Kane ➡️ goal#TOTLEI | @SpursOfficialpic.twitter.com/ClzdwIV2e7— Premier League (@premierleague) May 1, 2022
Ahead of Spurs’ trip to Anfield on Saturday, Sessegnon said when asked if he would swap: “No way, no way. The two players we have in the team are world class and we wouldn’t swap them for anyone.
“They can do special things on the ball and you saw that again. Sonny assisted H again and their combination they’ve had ever since playing together is unbelievable.
“Consistent over the last six or seven years they’ve been doing it at the top level and the numbers speak for themselves.”
Son was in particularly good form against Leicester, with his picturebook second goal an early contender for goal of the month for May.
His brace took him to 19 goals for the season in the league – his best ever return – and he is in the race for the Golden Boot, trailing Salah by just three goals.
The South Korean perhaps does not get the recognition that other players in the league get and Sessegnon says he is under-rated.
“Yes, 100 per cent. It’s hard to know why he is under-rated because consistently season after season his numbers are there,” he said.
“I think it’s because he’s such a down-to-earth normal guy, he’s not an arrogant person and he’s just very friendly with everyone. That’s probably why.”
Along with Son and Kane, Spurs have another bona fide elite player in Cristian Romero, who put in a sterling display against Leicester.
GOAL – Son ASSIST – Kulusevski ELITE TACKLES – Romero pic.twitter.com/L1WbUIwA2W— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) May 1, 2022
He was pivotal in contributing towards the second goal as his superb tackle set Dejan Kulusevski free down the right and the Swede teed up Son.
Romero is making a name for himself with his physical displays and Sessegnon admits the 24-year-old Argentina international is no different in training.
“It’s fantastic. You see every game he puts in important challenges for us and sometimes get us out of a little bit of trouble as well,” Sessegnon added.
“He’s so strong, so fast and he’s a great player to have in the team.”
Asked if the challenges fly in during training, he added: “Yeah, every time.
“It’s not worrying, he times it so well. Playing against him in training is not ideal, but for us in our team is good.”

Wycombe ‘absolutely buzzing’ ahead of play-offs, says boss Gareth Ainsworth
By PA Staff published
Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth insists the whole squad are “buzzing” as they prepare for the first leg of their Sky Bet League One play-off semi-final against MK Dons at Adams Park.
The Chairboys finished above Plymouth on the final day of the regular campaign to snatch sixth place following eight wins from an unbeaten 12-game run.
MK Dons just missed out on going up automatically, ending a point behind Rotherham after they won 5-0 at Plymouth to aid Wycombe’s late promotion bid.
Wycombe came through the play-offs in 2020, having been moved up from eighth to third on points-per-game when football resumed after being paused following the coronavirus outbreak.
After seeing off Fleetwood, Wycombe went on to beat Oxford in the final at an empty Wembley to reach the second tier for the first time but were then relegated again.
Adams Park is set to be a sell-out on Thursday night as Ainsworth’s men look to give the home support plenty to cheer heading into Sunday’s second leg.
“The whole squad is absolutely buzzing for this,” Ainsworth said Wycombe’s club website.
“Two years ago (when no supporters were in the ground), we heard the subs and the non-playing staff louder than you could ever hear them.
“Even with 9,500 (fans) in on Thursday, I think you are still going to hear the subs and the non-playing staff.
“We are so in it together and it is a great place to be. Hopefully we can do it.”
Despite speculation linking him with potential jobs in the Championship at Blackburn, his boyhood club, and another former team QPR, Ainsworth remains fully focused on challenge in hand.
“Nothing is going to distract me from these play-offs and for me, it’s all about the play-offs and Wycombe Wanderers,” Ainsworth told reporters.
“I’m humbled and flattered to be linked with jobs like that as they are obviously big clubs.
“But I am at a big club as well and we have got plenty of time to do things here.”
MK Dons have only lost three league games since the turn of the year, two of which came back-to-back during April, denting their automatic promotion hopes.
Head coach Liam Manning has also been mooted as a possible replacement for the departing Mark Warburton at Loftus Road.
He too, though, is not about to take his attention away from getting the required results against Buckinghamshire rivals Wycombe.
“All my focus is on this hectic week we have got. All my energy is on this club and making sure the players are prepared,” Manning said at a press conference.
“It’s complimentary but it doesn’t distract me. I am quite good at blocking it out.
“My commitment is here and making sure we do everything we can do to progress in the play-offs.”

DALLAS — The teen boy in this week's Wednesday's Child wants to be adopted so much, his caseworker flew him to Dallas from another part in the state so he could be featured in our segment.
His name is Tim, and he's been in foster care most of his life.
Tim broke my heart, but he doesn't need our pity. He needs a loving family to adopt him.
"At home, I am an angel. Perfect," Tim said about his behavior at a residential treatment center for foster children.
Tim's been looking for his shot to be someone's son for a long time.
"I know I want a mom and dad at least," he said.
Tim has been in foster care for 10 years. He was just 3 years old when he entered the system. Today, Tim is 13.
His caseworker found a picture of him when he was 7 years old. Tim's big blue eyes shone brightly in the photograph.
Fast forward six years, and Tim is ready to be done with the state being his parent. His big blue eyes look tired now. He said it's hard for him to sleep, and he longs for the day he stops moving from placement to placement.
"Kind of like being in a prison without walls. You got runners, but then where you gonna [sic] go if you run? Absolutely nowhere but right back to where you ran from," he said.
Why has Tim been in care for so long? How did he fall through the cracks?
That's a story for another day.
Today, we focus on the mom he wants.
"Someone that cares, who's always worried. I may seem embarrassed sometimes (by her worrying) but she'll still be wondering if I'm OK. She'll ask how my day is every time I walk through the door," he said.
He wants a dad who will teach him how to be a man. He wants a father who will be his hero by simply paying attention to him.
"If I go outside, he'll go outside with me. He'll give me some normalcy."
And Tim wants siblings! Lots of them!
"Kind of gets boring playing by yourself," he said.
"Plus, you can learn from them," he said about possibly having older siblings.
Tim deserves never to be lonely again.
At the end of the day, what he has to offer a family is his smile, laughter, and hope.
"Freedom. Freedom to go out the door when I want and them not worrying about me coming back or not, because they know they can trust me," he said.
For more information on how to adopt Tim, please send all approved home studies to LaQueena Warren at LaQueena.Warren@dfps.texas.gov. Please remember to include Tim's names within the subject line.
If you're not licensed, please visit adoptchildren.org to find out more information on how to become licensed to foster and/or adopt or contact LaQueena Warren at 817-304-1272. | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/outreach/wednesdays-child/wednesdays-child-13-year-old-tim-adoption/287-be136409-cdd6-4cd3-acd0-f786705d7788 | 2022-05-05T00:12:10Z | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/outreach/wednesdays-child/wednesdays-child-13-year-old-tim-adoption/287-be136409-cdd6-4cd3-acd0-f786705d7788 | true |

Ancelotti makes Champions League history while Man City boss Guardiola suffers record-equalling despair
Both Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola made Champions League history in Wednesday's thrilling Champions League semi-final decider - but the Manchester City boss will most likely not be amused at his new place in the record books.
Man City looked destined for the final going into injury time against Real Madrid, leading 5-3 on aggregate after Riyad Mahrez had widened their first-leg advantage in the Bernabeu.
Ancelotti and Madrid had other ideas, netting twice at the death through Rodrygo before this season's hero Karim Benzema decided the tie in extra time from the penalty spot.

- Vinicius’ redemption: Real Madrid’s Brazilian star finally fulfilling potential
- What a signing! Game-changer Diaz leads Liverpool to yet another Champions League final
- Johan Bakayoko: PSV's teenage star thriving under Van Nistelrooy
Ancelotti sets new competition best
On Saturday the Italian broke new ground in European football, winning La Liga with Madrid to complete the first-ever coaching clean sweep of the continent's top five leagues.
Ancelotti also thrives in the Champions League, where he enjoys an almost unprecedented level of success.
Wednesday's victory sealed his fifth appearance in the competition's final, having taken AC Milan to that stage in 2003, 2005 and 2007 before leading Madrid to the decider in his first spell at the Bernabeu back in 2014.
No other coach has managed that number - but Liverpool might take some heart from the fact that they inflicted his only final defeat to date from his previous four visits, in the 2005 showpiece.
Ancelotti told BT Sport after the game: "I cannot say we are used to living this kind if life, but what happened tonight it happened against Chelsea and also against PSG. If you have to say why, it is the history of this club that helps us to keep going when it seems that we are gone.
"The game was close to finished and we managed to find the last energy we had. We played a good game against a strong rival. When we are able to equalise we had a psychological advantage in extra-time.
"I have no time to think about this [losing the game]. It was difficult as City had control of the game but the last opportunity we were able to go to extra-time.
"I am happy to be there in the final, in Paris against another great rival. We are used to it. It will be a fantastic game for football."
More Champions League woe for Guardiola
Guardiola, meanwhile, despite being a two-time Champions League winner as a coach, has endured nothing but disappointment in the competition in recent years.
This marks his sixth semi-final elimination, a record he now shares with Jose Mourinho and not one he will wish to crow about. | https://www.goal.com/en-my/news/ancelotti-makes-champions-league-history-as-real-madrid/blt29a3066cebaf7380 | 2022-05-05T00:31:27Z | https://www.goal.com/en-my/news/ancelotti-makes-champions-league-history-as-real-madrid/blt29a3066cebaf7380 | false |

Cringeworthy moment Labor candidate parachuted into a western Sydney seat from his $16million mansion in the city's posh east fails to name three local restaurants
- Wealthy Labor candidate Andrew Charlton lives in a mansion in Sydney's east
- He was hand-picked by Anthony Alabanese to fight marginal Parramatta seat
- Mr Charlton struggled to name his favourite restaurants when quizzed by locals
- Cringe video revealed he was standing in a street full of restaurants at the time
A wealthy Labor candidate parachuted in to stand for election in Sydney's west couldn't name three local restaurants while standing in a street full of them.
Economist and entrepreneur Andrew Charlton lives in the $16million 'Fintry' mansion in Bellevue Hill in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs with his barrister wife Phoebe Arcus.
He was hand-picked by Labor leader Anthony Albanese to fight for the marginal seat of Parramatta and recently bought a $1.95million home in the constituency.
But when he was quizzed by the locals in Harris Park - famous for its streets packed with Indian restaurants - he couldn't name his three favourite eateries in the area.
Wealthy Labor candidate Andrew Charlton has been parachuted in to stand for election in Sydney's west couldn't name three local restaurants while standing in a street full of them
The video even swings round to show Mr Charlton, 43, standing in front of popular Indian restaurant Billus as the Labor hopeful struggled to come up with a local diner.
The candidate managed to muster two names, including Indian street eatery Chatkazz, but when prompted, couldn't come up with a third.
'Whoa,' he said when pushed. 'There are a lot, jeez, there are a lot of good ones...umm...I would...I would have to say...ummm...'
He finally says he said he had a 'fantastic' Ramadan-breaking feast at Parramatta mosque but eventually admits: 'I'll have to get back to you on the name...'
Mr Charlton was a highly regarded economic advisor to then-PM Kevin Rudd and helped steer policies that guided Australia through the 2008 global financial crisis.
Mr Rudd told the ABC: 'He is a highly talented individual, brilliant economist...and he helped me get Australia a permanent seat on the G20.'
The Sydney university graduate was a Rhodes Scholar who got his PhD in economics from Oxford University in the UK.
He's written books on economics, including Oznomics, which argued for workers' rights and government investment in technology and education.

The stately home boasts spectacular views across the eastern suburbs and Bondi coastline
The father of three founded an economics consultancy AlphaBeta which he later sold to global consultants Accenture, prompting the purchase of his $16million mansion with spectacular views across the eastern suburbs and Bondi coastline.
The classic six-bedroom property was previously home to MamaMia! founder Mia Freedman and her husband Jason Lavigne, and is just down the road from media magnate Lachlan Murdoch and his wife Sarah.
Mr Charlton is fighting to keep Parramatta for Labor after the retirement of the current MP Julie Owens, who won the seat in 2019 with a slim 3.5 per cent margin.
In the cringeworthy video, by local ethnic newspaper Indian Link Media Group, he is also asked his favourite Indian meal, and manages to snap back with a quick reply.

'I was a vegetarian for a long time, so I do love a vegetable biryani,' he said, adding that the variety of foods in the area was one of its strengths.
'It reflects the diversity of the community.
'We have people in Parramatta from all over the world and that is what makes this place so exciting and what it's what makes this place so vibrant and so diverse.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10783757/Federal-election-2022-Labors-Parramatta-candidate-Andrew-Charlton-local-restaurants.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-05-05T00:39:36Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10783757/Federal-election-2022-Labors-Parramatta-candidate-Andrew-Charlton-local-restaurants.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
BioXcel Therapeutics has announced that the first patient involved in the phase 3 TRANQUILITY 2 study of BXCL501 has received a dose for the acute treatment of agitation in patients with Alzheimer’s disease.
BXCL501 – the company’s orally dissolving, thin film formulation of dexmedetomidine – has been assessed as part of a pivotal phase 3 TRANQUILITY programme.
The programme began in December 2021 and is made up of two studies, TRANQUILITY 2 and TRANQUILITY 3.
Each study has been designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of BXCL501 in adults aged 65 years and older who are in assisted living, residential facilities or nursing homes.
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia in the US, and it is expected that by 2040, approximately 12 million Americans aged 65 years and over may be impacted by the disease. Of these patients, up to 70% experience agitation, while around 100 million agitation episodes happen in the US annually. The knock-on effect of these episodes on both patients and their caregivers can be devastating.
As yet, there are no approved therapeutic options available for the acute treatment of agitation related to dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease.
BioXcel’s decision to progress with the assessment of both the 40 and 60mcg dosing regimens in the TRANQUILITY 2 and 3 pivotal trials is reinforced by results from a recent, multicentre, placebo-controlled study of 46 patients. The study evaluated the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of BXCL501 40mcg dose in patients with agitation associated with dementia.
BXCL501 was granted an earlier Breakthrough Therapy designation from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the acute treatment of agitation in dementia, and showed a statistically significant decrease in agitation with both the 30 and 60mcg doses, with no severe or serious adverse events reported.
Dr Robert Risinger, chief medical officer of BioXcel Therapeutics, said: “We believe the recent FDA approval of BXCL501 for the acute treatment of agitation associated with schizophrenia or bipolar 1 or 2 disorder in adults has laid a strong foundation for pursuing this Alzheimer’s-related agitation programme to potentially address this debilitating symptom for patients.
He added: “Importantly, we are also expanding TRANQUILITY 2 to more than ten clinical trial sites in the US and with no current FDA approved treatments for agitation associated with this disease, we are making strong and swift efforts to potentially bring BXCL501 and its proven ability to address agitation to this large market.”

Welcome to this week’s Market Blast Technicals.
I’m Brad Alexander and on behalf of Valutrades, today we will look at Silver (XAGUSD), Gold (XAUUSD), GBPAUD, EURAUD, and AUDUSD.
You will have heard me talking about the Counter-Trend trade many times and we have a selling opportunity with AUDUSD.
This is a combination of fundamental and technical analysis.
Basically, the Reserve Bank of Australia raised their interest rate slightly higher than analysts’ expectations and price action on AUDUSD went higher.
Depending on your favourite indicators we can now look for a reversal with the stronger USD against the upper trend line and with an overbought stochastic oscillator, which isn’t quite there yet.
We have the opposite situations on EURAUD and GBPAUD.
If you watched yesterday’s video, you will know that we are watching USD, EUR and GBP as the respective central banks will likely be raising interest rates soon, creating the reversal.
Also, you may have seen our April summary on the Valutrades website where I pointed out that Gold has broken a key Fibonacci level of support, driven by the strength of USD.
The daily chart shows a break of the 50% level and the next level below is the 61.8% level.
While we may offer market commentary based on fundamental or technical analysis, we do not offer trading advice and cannot be held liable for any decisions taken by viewers and readers of our material.

Boris Johnson may be breathing a sigh of relief that there is no Prime Minister’s Questions today.
The Prime Minister has endured a difficult few months, having been rocked by scandal after scandal.
He has managed to cling onto his job despite being fined by the police over Partygate, and last week was forced to defend allegation of sexism against the Conservative party, after the Mail on Sunday article about Angela Rayner and MP Neil Parish resigning for watching porn in the House of Commons.
Things haven’t been much easier for him this week, as he was grilled by Good Morning Britain‘s Susanna Reid over the cost of living crisis.
Reid told Mr Johnson of a 77-year-old woman called Elsie, who told her she has “to use her freedom bus pass to stay on buses all day to avoid using energy at home” to stay warm, as bills have become so expensive.
The Prime Minister responded by claiming that he was the person who introduced the Freedom Pass when he was Mayor of London. As Mayor of London, Boris Johnson did change the Freedom Pass so it applied 24 hours a day on most services, although he did not introduce it originally.
Why is there no PMQs today?
The House of Commons is in prorogation, which is the formal name given to the period between the end of a session of Parliament and the State Opening of Parliament that begins the next session.
This means Parliament will not be sitting during the local elections, which are taking place across the country on Thursday 5 May.
Prorogation brings to an end nearly all parliamentary business.
However, public bills may be carried over from one session to the next, subject to agreement.
When is the next PMQs?
The 2022/23 parliamentary session will begin on 10 May, which is a Tuesday.
That means the next PMQs will be the following day – Wednesday 11 May.
The results of the local elections will likely dominate proceedings, with Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer hoping his party’s lead in the polls will translate to the local level, and help Labour councillors win Tory seats.
However, he will also be unwilling to let the current issues such as Partygate and the cost of living simply disappear from the news cycle. | https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/pmqs-today-why-no-boris-johnson-next-prime-ministers-questions-local-elections-1609540 | 2022-05-05T00:47:55Z | https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/pmqs-today-why-no-boris-johnson-next-prime-ministers-questions-local-elections-1609540 | false |
‘The world has not forgotten us’: Nigeria’s Buhari thankful for UN chief’s visit amid war in Ukraine
By Nimi Princewill, CNN
Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has thanked UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for his visit to the country, saying that he is grateful the West African nation hasn’t been forgotten amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Guterres, who is visiting Nigeria for the first time as secretary-general, said he had traveled to Nigeria “to express his solidarity with victims of terrorism,” according to a statement from his office.
Buhari received Guterres at the Presidential Villa in the capital Abuja Wednesday, where he expressed gratitude for the UN’s support for the country’s fight against terrorism.
The Nigerian leader had been concerned that the war in Ukraine could distract the world’s attention to the war against terror, but said Guterres’ visit showed that “the world has not forgotten us,” according to a statement released Wednesday by Buhari’s special adviser Femi Adesina.
Nigeria is grappling with the decades-long battle against Islamist groups that have left thousands dead and millions displaced in the country’s northern region. Boko Haram fighters and its affiliates continue to carry out brutal attacks across swaths of the region in their quest for control.
Sambisa, a vast forest reserve in northeast Nigeria’s Borno state, has served as a hideout and stronghold for Boko Haram operatives, whose notorious activities have caused the deaths of more than 37,000 people and displaced more than 2 million since 2011, according to data from the Council on Foreign Relations.
“When we assumed office, the North-East was the major security problem we inherited in 2015, but we have been able to make people understand that you cannot kill people and shout ‘Allahu Akbar,'” Buhari said according to Wednesday’s statement, referring to the Arabic phrase often translated as “God is greater.”
“It is either you don’t know what you are saying or you are simply stupid. God is a God of justice, so you cannot kill people and say God is great. Luckily the people understood our message and it has made a great impact,” he added.
On Tuesday, Guterres visited Borno state.
During a visit to a UN-backed reintegration center for former insurgent fighters, the UN chief said he was pleased with the willingness of surrendering terrorists to be reintegrated into society.
“I was amazed to see today, in the center, that those that have been terrorists want to integrate in and contribute to society. The policy that is in place here is a policy of reconciliation and reintegration,” he said at the center.
According to the Borno state government, more than 35,000 insurgents and their commanders have surrendered to authorities.
Guterres also spoke about his interactions with displaced persons in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state.
“Yesterday (Tuesday), I visited Maiduguri where the United Nations is supporting the internally displaced. I was deeply moved by their stories and struggles. These include the struggles with hunger, with the World Food Programme projecting 4.1 million people in the North East of Nigeria to be food insecure in the upcoming lean season,” he said.
“But despite all they have seen and endured, the people I met remain hopeful and committed to returning to their communities and resuming their lives.”
The UN had proposed more funding for Nigeria’s humanitarian response, Guterres said.
The visit comes nearly 11 years after the bombing of a UN building in the Nigerian capital, which claimed the lives of 23 people, including UN staff, and injured more than 60.
Prior to traveling to Nigeria, Guterres visited Senegal and Niger.
In Niger, the UN boss called for more funding to aid the fight against terror in Africa’s Sahel region, where terror attacks are on the rise.
During his visit to Senegal, Guterres highlighted the impact of the war in Ukraine on the economies of developing countries.

Tucsonans weigh in on Roe v. Wade draft opinion
TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - The Roe v. Wade draft opinion is a heated topic across America and causing quite the stir in Tucson.
Residents are standing up for what they believe in whether it is on camera or through a protest.
“3,000 abortions a day in America,” said Pastor Craig Coulter. “We have a lot of issues in America but if we do not get life right, we are not going to get anything right.”
Coulter, with Oro Valley Church of the Nazarene, said it is time for local churches to stand up and help women who are considering an abortion.
“We could put together these women who are going through a crisis that are having these children that are not planned, their hearts are breaking, and they are overwhelmed,” he said. “We could put them together with these parents whose hearts are breaking because they want to have a child.”
But as of Tuesday, Planned Parenthood said abortion is a constitutional right.
“Abortion is still legal today. As of today, it remains people’s constitutional right,” said Planned Parenthood Arizona CEO Brittany Fonteno.
However, Coulter said abortion is wrong.
“As a society to come along and short circuit that, that is just wrong,” Coulter said.
Fonteno said it is not about being wrong or right, it is about women and their rights.
“We are going to fight to make sure that every person has the power to control their own bodies, their lives and their futures,” she said.
Fonteno said if Roe v. Wade is overturned, it would be a setback.
“Generations before us have fought tirelessly to gain and protect the rights we have today,” she said. “Planned Parenthood Arizona will absolutely not back down.”
Coulter and Fonteno are at complete odds over this issue, but believe now is the time to stand up for what you believe in.
“You know the lie we buy into is that child is not wanted. I am here to say that is not true,” Coulter said.
But according to Fonteno, this issue isn’t for politicians to decide.
“Politicians should remain in statehouses and out of exam rooms. This is a personal decision people should make,” Fonteno said.
The decision has not been made for overturning Roe v. Wade. The news Monday was strictly about the leak of a draft opinion.
Fonteno and Coulter both said until then, they are looking at what they can do to help people, especially those with unplanned pregnancies.

US resumes limited visa processing in Cuba after 4 years
Published: May. 4, 2022 at 4:11 PM MST|Updated: 1 hours ago
HAVANA (AP) — The U.S. Embassy in Havana has resumed processing visas for Cubans, though on a limited basis, more than four years after stopping consular services on the island amid a hardening of relations.
The resumption comes as the number of Cubans trying to emigrate illegally to United States surges.
A State Department official said that for the time being U.S. officials in Havana will only process visa requests from Cubans who are the parents of U.S. citizens, under a category known as IR-5, and that the Biden administration in the future will evaluate expanding the services to others.

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts’ strong economic outlook is prompting Democratic leaders in the state Senate to consider a package of tax cuts.
Preliminary revenue collections for April totaled $6.9 billion — about $3 billion or 79.6% more than actual collections in April of last year and $2 billion more than projected, Revenue Commissioner Geoffrey Snyder announced Wednesday,
Democratic Senate President Karen Spilka said the healthy financial position means the Legislature should consider tax breaks, which Democrats have so far resisted. That's despite urging from Republican Gov. Charlie Baker, who has proposed his own package of $690 million in tax cuts.
Spilka said in a written statement that she’s asked leaders in the Senate to pursue a tax relief package before the end of the session.
“While the details remain to be worked out, I believe we can safely balance targeted spending investments to a number of crucial areas, such as housing, childcare and higher education, with tax relief for individuals and families who are feeling the effects of inflation and continued economic disruption,” she said.
Spilka's statement could put pressure on Democratic leaders in the Massachusetts House to go along with some package of tax cuts. | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Massachusetts-Senate-to-consider-passing-package-17148887.php | 2022-05-05T00:55:08Z | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Massachusetts-Senate-to-consider-passing-package-17148887.php | true |

Incumbent Howard Grodman will now run unopposed in the race for justice of the peace after his opponent, Bernadine Lewis, was disqualified due to signature concerns.
Both candidates turned in enough signatures by the April 4 deadline to qualify for the upcoming ballot. However, Grodman called Lewis' signatures into question in a complaint filed in Coconino County Superior Court on April 15.
Grodman alleged in his complaint that "at least 140" signatures appeared to be invalid with reasons ranging from the signer belonging to a different political party or not being registered to vote in the Flagstaff Justice Court precinct.
The challenge went to the offices of the Coconino County attorney and recorder for an internal audit to determine the validity of the complaint.
Documents from the Coconino County Recorder's office show that 100 of the 137 contested signatures didn't qualify, putting Lewis 93 signatures short of the 569 required to be placed on the ballot.
People are also reading…
Patty Hansen, county recorder, explained a signature can be disqualified for a number of reasons, such as someone not being registered to vote or registered in another district. They can also be considered invalid if the individual signed another candidate's petition first, is a member of a different political party or their signature does not match the one on file.
In Lewis' case, the Coconino County Recorder's Office found that mos belonged to a different political party.
Both candidates are Democrats. Challenges aren't uncommon. The Flagstaff mayoral race recently narrowed from four to three contenders when Regina Salas withdrew from the race after an audit left her 120 signatures short of officially qualifying for the ballot.
With this, Grodman, who has held the office since 2011, will now run unopposed in the Nov. 8 general election. He's pretty much guaranteed the position barring a whirlwind write-in campaign by Lewis or any others.

Schumer vows abortion law vote, but not filibuster changes
Updated 12:56PM
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer angrily denounced as an "abomination" the Supreme Court's leaked draft decision that would overturn the nation's landmark Roe v. Wade ruling and vowed that if it stands the Senate will vote on legislation to uphold women's access to abortions.
Schumer said the conservative justices "lied" to the Senate during confirmation hearings when they assured senators the case that since 1973 has allowed abortion access was settled law. He said with the draft opinion circulating, "the Supreme Court is poised to inflict the greatest restriction of rights in the past 50 years — not just on women, but on all Americans."
"This is a dark and disturbing morning in America," Schumer said as he opened the Senate on Tuesday.
But the Democratic leader stopped short of promising to change Senate filibuster rules to allow Democrats to overcome Republican obstruction and pass legislation that would salvage the landmark abortion law on their own, as some party advocates are demanding.
Schumer does not have the votes within the Democrats' razor-thin 50-vote majority to muscle through a rules change in the Senate that would allow Democrats to push past what is typically a 60-vote threshold on big bills.
Instead, the Democrats shifted attention swiftly and intently on the chamber's two most prominent Republicans who support abortion access — Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. Both had refused to help Democrats stop confirmation of the Trump-era judges who tipped the Supreme Court's majority to conservatives and are now putting the landmark Roe vs. Wade ruling at risk.
Murkowski told reporters on Capitol Hill that if the direction of the draft becomes the final opinion, "I will just tell you that it rocks my confidence in the court right now."
Murkowski and Collins introduced legislation earlier this year to turn the court's longstanding opinion on Roe v. Wade into law and President Joe Biden on Tuesday urged Congress to do just that.
Passing an abortion access bill through the Senate remains a political longshot, especially under the rapid timeline that would be needed before the Supreme Court issues its final decisions in June. Such legislation would most likely require the 60-vote threshold and there are not enough Republicans publicly willing to join Murkowski, Collins and the Democrats to preserve Americans' access to abortion services.
Collins in a morning statement pointed blame back to the justices themselves, personally singling out two of the three Trump-era judges, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, she had supported for confirmation.
The Maine Republican said if the leaked draft opinion on abortion becomes the ruling of the court, "it would be completely inconsistent with what Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanaugh said in their hearings and in our meetings in my office."
Even though Collins told reporters Tuesday her bill with Murkowski to put Roe v. Wade into law could have broader support, so far, there are not the number of Republicans needed to boost it to passage.
As stark warnings of an end to Roe v. Wade become the potential new normal in the U.S., the political fallout in Congress is certain to be far-reaching and complicated, a gripping new phase in the partisan fights over abortion access, religious liberties and the fundamental aspects of women's reproductive health..
The Republican senators in particular, who helped turn the court into a solid 6-3 conservative majority, face deep scrutiny over their public beliefs at the time and the reality now confronting the country.
Collins helped confirm both of those nominees, though she did not vote for Justice Amy Coney Barrett because the nomination came so close to the 2020 election, when the presidency was being decided and she also faced a stiff reelection race.
Murkowski, who is up for reelection this year, did not vote for Kavanaugh after his explosive confirmation hearings over allegations he sexually assaulted a woman acquaintance during high school. She did give her support to Gorsuch and Barrett.
Other Republican senators slammed the unusual leak of the high-profile draft opinion as an attempt to bully the court.
The Republican leader Mitch McConnell complained about "unhinged" Democratic rhetoric and said the leak should be "investigated and punished to the fullest extent of the law." Chief Justice John Roberts, confirming the authenticity of the leaked draft opinion, on Tuesday ordered an investigation into the leak.
One pivotal Democrat, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who talks frequently with McConnell, declined to weigh into the debate — or whether he would be willing to rethink his opposition to changing filibuster rules. He has been a holdout denying Democrats of the 51 votes needed to change the rules.
"Let's wait to see everything," Manchin said.
But Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., countered McConnell and the other Republicans who want to go after the leak. "What should be investigated and prosecuted is the fact that people who were nominated to the Supreme Court stood up and said they believed in the rule of law and precedent, and then at first opportunity, changed direction by 180 degrees and are going for a full repeal of Roe," said Warren, a former Harvard law professor.
Schumer said Republican senators will have to answer to voters in this fall's election — signaling the Democrats prefer to fight the issue on the campaign trail than in Congress.
Schumer said "the blame for this decision falls squarely on Republican senators" who voted to confirm justices that solidified the court's conservative majority.
Conservatives have been focused for years working behind the scenes to undo the nation's 1973 abortion law, and Republican senators made judicial nominations their top priority during Donald Trump's time in the White House.
Trump was able to nominate and have the Senate confirm three justices, engineering a wholesale revamping of the high court, now with a solid conservative 6-3 majority.
As GOP leader, McConnell stunned Washington at the start of the 2016 presidential campaign season when he refused to allow the Senate to consider then-president Barack Obama's nominee, Merrick Garland, for a high court vacancy, holding the position open until Trump won election to become president that fall.
McConnell then marshalled into place a Senate rules change to enable Republicans to bypass a Democratic filibuster and approve Supreme Court nominees on a simple 51-vote threshold — going further than Democrats had done on their own earlier rules change to allow majority confirmation of lower-level posts.
Late Monday, a draft of the court's majority decision was leaked and reported showing the majority's intent to overturn the abortion law. It is unclear if the draft circulating will be the court's final decision on the case, which is expected by late June.
A decision to overrule Roe would lead to abortion bans in roughly half the states. Crowds gathered overnight at the Supreme Court, which sits across the street from the U.S. Capitol and can be seen from the House and Senate.

Mexican officials force airlines to use new, distant airport
Transportation officials in Mexico will effectively force airlines to use a new, more distant airport that was one of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's pet projects
MEXICO CITY -- Transportation officials in Mexico said Wednesday they will effectively force airlines to use a new, more distant airport that was one of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s pet projects.
López Obrador inaugurated the new Felipe Angeles airport, 27 miles (43 kilometers) north of Mexico City, in March.
But rail and road links to the new terminal have yet to be completed, and airlines have been loath to change flights from the still-operating inner city airport. Currently, only about a half-dozen flights per day use the new terminal.
But Transportation and Infrastructure Secretary Rogelio Jimenez Pons told local media the government has decided to reduce the number of flights allowed to land at the old airport by 20 percent.
The reduction is to start in July, and could force about 10 daily flights to the new terminal. The government had already said any new flights scheduled into Mexico City will have to use Felipe Angeles, but the new reduction applies to existing routes.
Jimenez Pons said the old airport had to reduce traffic because it is overloaded and needs updates. He said airlines can choose to go the Felipe Angeles terminal or to an even more distant, largely unused airport in the neighboring city of Toulca, to the west.
López Obrador has used pressure and threats in a bid to get private and foreign companies to shore up his infrastructure plans and pet projects — state-run ports, terminals and rail lines that could become white elephants unless the private sector boosts them with real traffic.
In recent weeks, the president used threats of legal action to pressure a U.S. gravel company into agreeing to operate a tourist resort and cruise ship dock at a gravel quarry it owns on the Caribbean coast.
The two sides apparently reached a deal, but López Obrador accused the company of violating its terms — something the firm denies — and said this week he would file a legal complaint against it.
The Felipe Angeles airport so far from the city center that all major international airlines, and many taxi services, have shunned it. At rush hour, it can take 2 1/2 hours to drive to the terminal.
So far, the only international flight is run by a Venezuelan carrier that is under U.S. sanctions and flies only to Caracas. | https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/mexican-officials-force-airlines-distant-airport-84506350 | 2022-05-05T01:07:01Z | https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/mexican-officials-force-airlines-distant-airport-84506350 | true |

Some states will ban abortion, others will expand access if Roe v. Wade is overturned
Some states will ban abortion, others will expand access if Roe v. Wade is overturned
If Roe v. Wade is overturned, there will be a patchwork of standards in different states. Some are poised to ban abortion, others are looking to expand access or prepare for out-of-state patients.
SARAH MCCAMMON, BYLINE: If the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion across the U.S. is overturned, then abortion laws and abortion access will vary by state. Some states are set to implement total bans. Others are preparing to help patients who travel from states where they can no longer get abortions. And legal battles are expected across the country. NPR national correspondent Sarah McCammon joins us now. Hi, Sarah.
MCCAMMON: Hi, Adrian.
ADRIAN FLORIDO, HOST:
Sarah, big picture, if the Supreme Court does end up handing down an opinion similar to the draft that leaked this week overturning Roe v. Wade, what would the country look like in terms of access?
MCCAMMON: So there are several different types of abortion laws that could take effect from state to state in different ways, doing different things. Right now, 13 states have what are known as trigger bans, which are specifically designed to ban abortion if Roe falls. Elizabeth Nash is with the Guttmacher Institute, which is a research group that supports abortion rights.
ELIZABETH NASH: You're thinking from Idaho to Kentucky, all the way up to North Dakota and down to Texas. So they're across the country. They're a cross-section of the country. And they will - would all be in effect within one month of the decision, with most of them going into effect in maybe even as quickly as a day.
MCCAMMON: And then in addition to those, there are another dozen or more states that have either old pre-Roe bans still on the books or other restrictions that are currently tied up in courts. Some of those are early abortion bans. All told, Guttmacher estimates about 26 states are likely or certain to ban most abortions if Roe falls. They estimate 36 million women of reproductive age would be in a state without abortion access.
FLORIDO: So how might this actually play out, like for those old restrictions or those laws that are currently tied up in court? When would those go into effect?
MCCAMMON: Well, states with Republican leaders are likely to act quickly to try to implement as many of these bans as possible. Sue Liebel is with the Susan B. Anthony List, which opposes abortion rights. And she says her group is working with governors' offices and attorneys general in some of these states to prepare them to enforce bans as soon as they can.
SUE LIEBEL: We have been talking to all of those about, you know, acting immediately. So when that happens, let's be ready. You know, how do you get that back into play, to say, hey, don't forget, you know, this is not something you want to start the night before, right? We have to plan for this.
MCCAMMON: Because there's a process, and that could mean certifying some of the laws or asking courts to allow them to go into effect.
FLORIDO: So it seems almost certain that there are going to be more legal battles even once the Supreme Court issues its decision.
MCCAMMON: Yeah, it's a virtual certainty. Legal experts expect a tremendous amount of litigation and confusion around how to apply the specifics of the eventual decision to individual state laws. They'll also be looking at state constitutions, some of which may offer their own protections for abortion rights. There could be special sessions in some states that don't have laws on the books but want to either expand or limit abortion access. And as one reproductive rights advocate told me, it is likely to be a mosh pit of litigation in some of these states.
FLORIDO: So, Sarah, what does this mean for patients and abortion providers right now today?
MCCAMMON: Providers are continuing to offer procedures as long as they can. Dr. Colleen McNicholas is with Planned Parenthood, serving patients in the Midwest, including in Missouri, which has a trigger law. Earlier today on the NPR program "1A," McNicholas said they're trying to be very clear with patients right now about what the situation is.
COLLEEN MCNICHOLAS: As we're making appointments for future care, we're being transparent and honest with folks to say today you can make that appointment. And at any moment, if that final decision comes out and is as devastating as it suggests it will be, Missourians will immediately lose access to abortion in their state.
FLORIDO: So most - so more than half of states, Sarah, are likely to ban most or all abortions. But what about the rest?
MCCAMMON: Well, some are expanding access or shoring up protections in state law. Maryland is providing some funding for training abortion providers. Connecticut is providing some legal protections for them. Guttmacher says close to 20 states are in a situation with fairly solid protections for abortion rights. And then there are a handful where it's more complicated, and you're likely to see a lot of continued battles over these questions in legislatures, as well as in the courts.
FLORIDO: That's NPR's Sarah McCammon. Sarah, thank you.
MCCAMMON: Thank you.

Cruz unleashes on 'woke little left wing twit' who leaked Supreme Court draft opinion: '12 likely suspects'
'It is difficult to overstate how destructive it is to the Supreme Court,' Cruz said
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, on Wednesday blamed a "woke little left-wing twit" for leaking the Supreme Court’s draft of a decision on abortion, speculating that the possible suspect may be one of 12 law clerks currently employed by Democrat-appointed justices.
"It is difficult to overstate how destructive it is to the Supreme Court, to the independence of the judiciary, to the integrity of the court, to have a draft opinion leaked during the process of deciding the case," Cruz said on "Jesse Watters Primetime."
SUPREME COURT LEAKER BREACHED THE TRUST OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: TED CRUZ
"In over 200 years of our nation’s history, that has never happened and there was one woke little left-wing twit who decided to hell with his or her obligations to the justice they work for, to hell the obligations to the court, to hell with the obligations to the rule of law, that they would, instead, try to sneak it out in order to put political pressure on the justices and intimidate them into changing their vote."
Cruz's remarks came in response to a draft opinion that, if held, would overturn the landmark ruling in Roe v. Wade. In a subsequent statement, Chief Justice John Roberts called upon the Marshal of the Court to investigate the situation and find the source who leaked the document to Politico.
Cruz said he thinks there is a "very good chance" of finding out who is responsible.
"If you look at the court, it’s actually a very limited universe of people who it could be," he told guest host Brian Kilmeade. "The only people that have access to the opinions are the nine justices and their law clerks. Each justice has four clerks so that’s 36 law clerks. And there are a handful of clerical assistants and secretaries who might have it."
The chances that a justice would be responsible for such a "grave betrayal" of the court are "zero," Cruz asserted.
"I there it is a law clerk and very likely a law clerk for one of the three liberal justices, that means there are 12 likely suspects," he said.
"The fact that we have someone willing to be unethical and break the law does not mean that we have got a master criminal at the court. I think they are going to have left a paper trail there will be emails or texts with the reporters."

"We will find this person," Cruz continued. "And when they are found, they are going to be fired on the spot. They will be disbarred if they’re members of the bar, or they will never be admitted to the bar to be a lawyer, and to the extent that they have broken criminal laws, they need to be prosecuted and sent to jail." | https://www.foxnews.com/media/cruz-supreme-court-abortion-leak-suspect-woke-little-left-wing-twit | 2022-05-05T01:31:55Z | https://www.foxnews.com/media/cruz-supreme-court-abortion-leak-suspect-woke-little-left-wing-twit | true |
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Four former North Central High School students on Wednesday filed a federal lawsuit against the Washington Township school district.
The suit claims a former school employee, Nathan Shewell, sexually harassed and verbally abused the students from 2015 to 2020. It also alleges that high school staff ignored complaints about the employee’s behavior.
Washington Township Schools fired the employee in May 2020 after learning he made false statements about his resignation from a previous employer.
The school district, also on Wednesday, sued the employee for damages in a Marion County court. | https://www.wishtv.com/news/4-former-north-central-hs-students-sue-school-district-former-employee/ | 2022-05-05T01:34:40Z | https://www.wishtv.com/news/4-former-north-central-hs-students-sue-school-district-former-employee/ | false |

If you’re looking for a dog straight in the center of friendly, sweet, playful and handsome, Baltic could be your best bet.
He’s about a year old, and is a lab/shepherd/greyhound mix with a gorgeous caramel-colored coat and a hint of white on his chest weighing in at around 35 pounds.
He was pulled from Metro Animal Shelter, where he was a common stray pickup before his owner surrendered him.
Baltic is full of playful energy, and he loves being outside in a yard where he can zoom around. He’s interested in toys, plays fetch at least halfway and loves being around people.
This pup isn’t an outside-only dog — he needs his people and will make a wonderful family pet for anyone with children older than 10. He could be a bit too rambunctious for younger children.
Baltic is up to date on his vet care, is heartworm negative, microchipped and neutered. He’s on heartworm and flea/tick preventatives and is available for a $75 adoption fee from the Humane Society of West Alabama.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken tests positive for COVID-19
Antony Blinker has mild symptoms, says U.S. State department
The State Department said that Secretary of State Antony Blinken has tested positive for COVID-19 after attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner and related events over the weekend.
Spokesman Ned Price said Mr. Blinken tested positive in an OPCR test on Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Price said Mr. Blinken is fully vaccinated and is experiencing only mild symptoms.
Mr. Blinken tested negative Tuesday and again earlier Wednesday morning. Mr. Blinken has not met in person with President Joe Biden for "several days" and is not considered a close contact of the president.
He met earlier on Wednesday at the State Department with the Swedish Foreign Minister. Mr. Blinken had been scheduled to give a speech on Thursday about the Biden administration's China policy, but Mr. Price said that speech has been postponed.
Mr. Price said Mr. Blinken would isolate at home and work virtually until the quarantine period is over.
He is the latest Biden administration figure to test positive. Vice President Kamala Harris was cleared to return to to the White House on Tuesday after testing positive last week.

VAUGHAN, ON, May 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - GFL Environmental Inc. (NYSE: GFL) (TSX: GFL) ("GFL", "we", "our" or the "Company") today announced its results for the first quarter of 2022.
"I am extremely proud of the hard work and commitment of our over 18,000 employees as we had yet another exceptional start to the year," said Patrick Dovigi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of GFL. "The 27.4% revenue growth over the first quarter of 2021 was driven by the quality of our pricing strategies, meaningful volume improvements and outperformance from the M&A we completed in 2021. Normalizing for the non-recurring margin benefits we realized in the first quarter of 2021, our record Solid Waste pricing drove underlying margin expansion. We achieved these extraordinary results despite the impact from severe winter weather conditions, acute labour pressures early in the year from Omicron and increased inflationary costs, demonstrating the resilience of our business model and the effectiveness of our growth strategies."
Mr. Dovigi added, "We remain focused on executing on our strategy to create long-term value for all stakeholders. We completed nine acquisitions during this quarter and an additional 12 acquisitions after the quarter-end, including the acquisition of Sprint Waste Services. These acquisitions, the majority of which were small tuck-in acquisitions, have meaningfully densified our Solid Waste footprint within the markets we serve. Our outsized M&A activity during the first part of this year is expected to contribute annualized revenue of approximately $300 million. We also continued to make good progress on the RNG projects at four landfills, for which we have agreements in place, with an additional eight sites under varying stages of negotiation and development."
"In addition to the acquisitions completed year-to-date, we have received cash consideration of approximately $91.9 million from the sale of non-core assets and $224.0 million from the spin-off of GFL Infrastructure Group to Green Infrastructure Partners, the proceeds of which are being redeployed in our organic and inorganic growth strategies. The spin-off provides us the opportunity to leverage the greater weighting in our Solid Waste segment both organically and through accretive acquisitions. We also believe that our approximately 45% equity investment in Green Infrastructure Partners, which combines GFL Infrastructure Group with the business of Coco Paving to form a leading Canadian provider of vertically integrated infrastructure services with $1.1 billion in annualized revenues, will result in significant value creation for our shareholders over the long-term."
Mr. Dovigi concluded, "Our success in the first quarter sets us up for a strong 2022. We continue to see upside opportunities ahead of us this year, driven by our organic initiatives and our robust M&A pipeline. With the strength of our first quarter results, we are well on track to exceed the high end of our full year guidance range and expect to provide a guidance update for our base business when we report our second quarter results. However, based on the success of our M&A strategy in the first quarter, we are increasing our guidance at this time to reflect the incremental contribution from acquisitions completed so far this year."
- Revenue increased by 27.4% to $1,401.4 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021. Solid Waste revenue organic growth of 10.3%, including:
- Environmental Services revenue of $231.7 million, including organic growth of 19.3% driven by the strength of industrial collection and processing revenue.
- Adjusted EBITDA2 increased by 19.0% to $354.4 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin2 was 25.3% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 27.1% in the first quarter of 2021. Solid Waste Adjusted EBITDA margin2 was 29.9% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 31.0% in the first quarter of 2021.
- Net income from continuing operations increased to $137.0 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to a net loss of $283.7 million in the first quarter of 2021.
- Adjusted Free Cash Flow2 increased to $118.6 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $116.9 million in the first quarter of 2021.
Guidance Update3
Based solely on the expected contribution of the acquisitions completed so far this year, net of divestitures completed during the quarter, the previously provided guidance for 2022 is being increased as follows:
- Revenue is estimated to be between $6,000 million and $6,100 million (previously between $5,825 million and $5,925 million).
- Adjusted EBITDA3 is estimated to be between $1,680 million and $1,720 million (previously between $1,625 million and $1,665 million).
- Adjusted Free Cash Flow3 is estimated to be between $645 million and $675 million (previously between $625 million and $655 million).
Any non-M&A related guidance updates are expected to be provided together with the reporting of the Company's results for the second quarter of 2022. Implicit in forward-looking information in respect of our expectations for 2022 are certain current assumptions, including, among others, no changes to the current economic environment and that none of the jurisdictions in which GFL operates institute additional COVID-19 emergency measures including shelter-in-place or similar orders. The updated 2022 guidance assumes GFL will continue to execute on its strategy of organically growing our business, leveraging our scalable network to attract and retain customers across multiple service lines, realize operational efficiencies, and extract procurement and cost synergies.

Forward-looking information is based on our opinions, estimates and assumptions that we considered appropriate and reasonable as of the date such information is stated, is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including but not limited to certain assumptions set out herein in the section titled "Guidance Update"; our ability to obtain and maintain existing financing on acceptable terms; our ability to source and execute on acquisitions on terms acceptable to us; our ability to find purchasers for non-core assets on terms acceptable to us; currency exchange and interest rates; the impact of competition; the changes and trends in our industry or the global economy; changes in laws, rules, regulations, and global standards; and the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, including variants, and its impact on the economy, the North American financial markets, our operations, our M&A pipeline and our financial results.

The purpose of disclosing our financial outlook set out in this release is to provide investors with more information concerning the financial impact of our business initiatives and growth strategies.
Non-IFRS Measures
This release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation.
EBITDA represents, for the applicable period, net income (loss) from continuing operations plus (a) interest and other finance costs, plus (b) depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, landfill assets and intangible assets, less (c) the provision for income taxes, in each case to the extent deducted or added to/from net income (loss) from continuing operations. We present EBITDA to assist readers in understanding the mathematical development of Adjusted EBITDA. Management does not use EBITDA as a financial performance metric.
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure used by management and other users of our financial statements including our lenders and investors, to assess the financial performance of our business without regard to financing methods or capital structure. Adjusted EBITDA is also a key metric that management uses prior to execution of any strategic investing or financing opportunity. For example, management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure in determining the value of acquisitions, expansion opportunities and dispositions. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is utilized by financial institutions to measure borrowing capacity. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding and deducting, as applicable from EBITDA, certain expenses, costs, charges or benefits incurred in such period which in management's view are either not indicative of underlying business performance or impact the ability to assess the operating performance of our business, including: (a) (gain) loss on foreign exchange, (b) (gain) loss on sale of property and equipment, (c) mark-to-market (gain) loss on Purchase Contracts, (d) share-based payments, (e) gain on divestiture, (f) transaction costs, and (g) acquisition, rebranding and other integration costs (included in cost of sales related to acquisition activity). We use Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis reflecting factors and trends affecting our business. As we continue to grow our business, we may be faced with new events or circumstances that are not indicative of our underlying business performance or that impact the ability to assess our operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Management and other users of our financial statements including our lenders and investors use Adjusted EBITDA margin to facilitate a comparison of the operating performance of each of our operating segments on a consistent basis reflecting factors and trends affecting our business.
Acquisition EBITDA represents, for the applicable period, management's estimates of the annual Adjusted EBITDA of an acquired business, based on its most recently available historical financial information at the time of acquisition, as adjusted to give effect to (a) the elimination of expenses related to the prior owners and certain other costs and expenses that are not indicative of the underlying business performance, if any, as if such business had been acquired on the first day of such period ("Acquisition EBITDA Adjustments"), and (b) contract and acquisition annualization for contracts entered into and acquisitions completed by such acquired business prior to our acquisition. Further adjustments are made to such annual Adjusted EBITDA to reflect estimated operating cost savings and synergies, if any, anticipated to be realized upon acquisition and integration of the business into our operations. We use Acquisition EBITDA for the acquired businesses to adjust our Adjusted EBITDA to include a proportional amount of the Acquisition EBITDA of the acquired businesses based upon the respective number of months of operation for such period prior to the date of our acquisition of each such business.
Adjusted Cash Flows from Operating Activities represents cash flows from operating activities adjusted for (a) operating cash flows from discontinued operations, (b) prepayment penalties for early note redemption, (c) transaction costs, (d) acquisition, rebranding and other integration costs, (e) M&A related net working capital investment, and (f) cash interest paid on TEUs. Management uses Adjusted Cash Flows from Operating Activities to evaluate and monitor the ongoing financial performance of GFL.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow represents Adjusted Cash Flows from Operating Activities adjusted for (a) proceeds from asset divestitures, (b) normalization for excess proceeds from asset divestitures, (c) proceeds on disposal of assets, (d) investment in joint ventures and associates, and (e) purchase of property and equipment and intangible assets. Adjusted Cash Flows from Operating Activities and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are supplemental measures used by investors as a valuation and liquidity measure in our industry. Management uses Adjusted Free Cash Flow to evaluate and monitor the ongoing financial performance of GFL.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) from continuing operations represents net income (loss) for continuing operations adjusted for (a) amortization of intangible assets, (b) ARO discount rate depreciation adjustment, (c) incremental depreciation of property and equipment due to recapitalization, (d) prepayment penalties for early note redemption, (e) amortization of deferred financing costs (f) mark-to-market (gain) loss on Purchase Contracts, (g) gain on divestiture, (h) (gain) loss on foreign exchange, (i) transaction costs, (j) acquisition, rebranding and other integration costs, (k) TEU amortization expense, and (l) the tax impact of the forgoing. Adjusted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations is defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) from continuing operations divided by the weighted average shares in the period. We believe that Adjusted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations provides a meaningful comparison of current results to prior periods' results by excluding items that GFL does not believe reflect its fundamental business performance.
Net Leverage is a supplemental measure used by management to evaluate borrowing capacity and capital allocation strategies. Net Leverage is equal to our total long-term debt, as adjusted for fair value, deferred financings and other adjustments and reduced by our cash, divided by Run-Rate EBITDA.
Run-Rate EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA for the applicable period as adjusted to give effect to management's estimates of (a) Acquisition EBITDA Adjustments (as defined above) and (b) the impact of annualization of certain new municipal and disposal contracts and cost savings initiatives, entered into, commenced or implemented, as applicable, in such period, as if such contracts or costs savings initiatives had been entered into, commenced or implemented, as applicable, on the first day of such period. Run-Rate EBITDA has not been adjusted to take into account the impact of the cancellation of contracts and cost increases associated with these contracts. These adjustments reflect monthly allocations of Acquisition EBITDA for the acquired businesses based on straight line proration. As a result, these estimates do not take into account the seasonality of a particular acquired business. While we do not believe the seasonality of any one acquired business is material when aggregated with other acquired businesses, the estimates may result in a higher or lower adjustment to our Run-Rate EBITDA than would have resulted had we adjusted for the actual results of each of the acquired businesses for the period prior to our acquisition. We primarily use Run-Rate EBITDA to show how GFL would have performed if each of the interim acquisitions had been consummated at the start of the period as well as to show the impact of the annualization of certain new municipal and disposal contracts and cost savings initiatives. We also believe that Run-Rate EBITDA is useful to investors and creditors to monitor and evaluate our borrowing capacity and compliance with certain of our debt covenants.

NEW YORK, May 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Volta Inc. f/k/a Tortoise Acquisition Corp. II (NYSE: VLTA, VLTA-WT, SNPR) between August 2, 2021 and March 28, 2022, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important May 31, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Volta securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Volta class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=4819 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than May 31, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Volta had improperly accounted for restricted stock units issued in connection with the Business Combination; (2) Volta had understated its net loss for third quarter 2021; (3) there were material weaknesses in Volta's internal control over financial reporting that resulted in a material error; (4) as a result of the foregoing, Volta would restate its financial statements; (5) Legacy Volta's founders would imminently exit the Company; (6) Volta's financial results would be adversely impacted; and (7) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Volta's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Volta class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=4819 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

In a review of 71 studies that explored links between belief in paranormal phenomena and cognitive function, most of the findings align with the hypothesis that such beliefs are associated with cognitive differences or deficits. Charlotte E. Dean and colleagues at the University of Hertfordshire, U.K., present this evaluation in the open-access journal PLOS ONE on May 4.
For several decades, researchers have examined potential links between cognitive functioning and belief in paranormal phenomena, such as psychokinesis, hauntings, and clairvoyance. However, about 30 years have passed since a non-systematic review of this literature was last conducted. To provide updated insights into the findings and quality of studies on this topic, Dean and colleagues systematically identified and evaluated 70 published studies and one unpublished doctoral thesis produced between 1980 and 2020.
The 71 studies explored a range of cognitive functions, such as reasoning ability, thinking style, and memory. Overall, the findings align with the hypothesis that beliefs in paranormal phenomena are associated with differences or deficits in cognitive function. For example, a particularly consistent association was found between paranormal beliefs and an intuitive thinking style.
The review found that most of the 71 studies were of good methodological quality and that quality has improved over time; for instance, most had clear objectives and appropriate study designs. However, certain areas for improvement emerged; for instance, many studies lacked a discussion of their own methodological limitations, and undergraduate students made up a large portion of study participants, meaning that the findings may not necessarily apply to the general population.
The authors note that no specific profile of cognitive functioning for paranormal believers has emerged from this literature. They suggest that future research could not only address the methodological weaknesses they observed, but also explore the possibility that paranormal beliefs might be associated with a more overarching difference of cognition-;which could help explain why past studies have found links with seemingly disparate types of cognitive dysfunction.
The authors add: "Four decades of research suggests that belief in the paranormal is linked to our degree of cognitive flexibility and fluid intelligence; however, methodological improvements in future research are required to further our understanding of the relationship."

Personnel of the Youth in Afforestation programme have declared a sit-down strike in protest over unpaid allowances which have been in arrears for the past five months.
The strike is in response to several efforts by the workers to get the allowances paid. The national leader for the Youth in Afforestation programme, Rev. Clement Asare, who spoke to Citi News indicated that his members will also not partake in the upcoming Green Ghana tree planting project, stressing that they will only resume their work after the monies hit their accounts.
“If the government doesn’t pay us, we will not take part in the Green Ghana project. Our sit-down strike started today. The work that we were doing to prepare for the Green Ghana, we have stopped. We are not going to work until the government pays us”, Asare said in an interview with the Accra-based radio station.
“This morning I spoke with the Deputy CEO of the Forestry Commission and according to her, they are doing all they can, and it is left with the Finance Ministry to pay us,” he added.
This is not the first time the workers have staged this protest. As the government hopes to plant 20 million trees this year through the Green Ghana Project, there are fears this strike could put the exercise on hold. | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Youth-in-Afforestation-to-boycott-Green-Ghana-project-over-unpaid-allowances-1530260 | 2022-05-05T01:56:00Z | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Youth-in-Afforestation-to-boycott-Green-Ghana-project-over-unpaid-allowances-1530260 | false |
STOC launches with more than 80 scientists joining globally, focused on obtaining the greatest scientific benefits from spatially resolved transcriptomics technology; first studies use BGI-Research's Stereo-seq to produce spatiotemporal cellular maps of mice, Drosophila, zebrafish, and Arabidopsis
SHENZHEN, China, May 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientists from 16 countries today announced the establishment of the SpatioTemporal Omics Consortium (STOC), an open scientific community focused on using spatially resolved cellular resolution omics technology to map and understand life. Their first studies resulted in state-of-the-art panoramic spatial atlases of life, published in Cell and Developmental Cell on May 4.
Over 80 scientists from Harvard University, Oxford University, MIT, University of Cambridge, the Karolinska Institutet, the University of Western Australia, the Genome Institute of Singapore, BGI-Research, among others, are collaborating as part of STOC. Members of the research group who produced the panoramic atlases used a new enabling technology Stereo-seq, developed by BGI-Research, to produce the most insightful spatiotemporal cellular maps to date of mice, small fruit flies (Drosophila), zebrafish, and the Arabidopsis plant, making a breakthrough in resolution and panoramic field of view and enabling analysis of the distribution and placement of molecules and cells in situ, and over time.
Identifying the characteristics of specific cells within a tissue has significant applications for understanding physiology, how organisms develop, and which cells are causes or indicators of disease, potentially leading to future gains in human disease research. These lay an important foundation for STOC's research initiatives, which aim to create diverse sets of spatiotemporal atlases to broaden our knowledge of disease treatment, organ structures, development and aging, and to improve our understanding of biological evolution.
"In the last few years, there has been a lot of progress of mapping the genome and transcriptome in single cells. But this has been without the context of the spatial aspect of neighbourhoods of cells, ecosystem of cells, and therefore there is a whole layer of information that has been missing, which I think will now become accessible. That will have a major impact on both basic and translational research," says Berthold Göttgens, Director of the Wellcome-MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Institute, University of Cambridge, and a Member of STOC.
The transformational aspects of spatiotemporal omics for scientific research are captured in the goals of the STOC, as Weibin Liu, STOC Organizing Committee Member, explains.
"The panoramic atlases published late yesterday are the first steps toward the Consortium's vision of revolutionizing humanity's understanding of mind and body, youth and old age, health and illness, the origin and future of the human race, and the rest of the living world, for that matter," says Liu. "They lay the groundwork for multiple atlases the Consortium could complete together, and they validate approaches for creating other spatiotemporal atlases."
"Because of the magnitude of such endeavors, they require nothing short of a concerted global effort, across multiple disciplines from science to engineering to mathematics, and across diverse stakeholders from medicine to industry to funders. Together with our 80+ members so far, we will work to chart the way forward, to build new tools and competencies, to share resources and results, to map and solve the unknown," he adds
The SpatioTemporal Omics Consortium (STOC) is an open, collaborative research initiative established to unite, organize, advance and share global scientific efforts in spatiotemporal omics to solve the mysteries of life. More information about STOC can be found at www.sto-consortium.org .

Rescuers: Man pulled to safety after trapped in grain bin for hours
STURGIS, Ky. (WFIE/Gray News) - Rescuers were dealing with a person stuck in a grain bin in Kentucky for several hours on Wednesday.
WFIE reports fire officials said a man, later identified as Doug Omer, became trapped in one of his own farm bins at around noon.
Officials said he hit a hot spot, a pocket of air under the grain that can suck a person down, when he was inside.
Crews said they were initially planning to cut a hole in the bin, but instead, they used a vacuum to get the grain out from around Omer and eventually rescued him at about 4:30 p.m.
Omer’s daughter said her dad was conscious and breathing while crews worked to get him free. Omer was transported to a local hospital by a medical helicopter after the rescue.
Officials said another person was also briefly trapped up to his knees while trying to help Omer, but he had to be rescued as crews worked to get Omer.
Rescuers did not immediately share what injuries, if any, Omer suffered in Wednesday’s incident.

An escapologist known for his daring acts on Britain's Got Talent has been left paralysed after a gruesome accident during rehearsals for America's Got Talent: Extreme, his fiancee has revealed.
Key points:
- The 42-year-old was filming a stunt which, his fiancee says, was "misjudged"
- He wore a strait jacket, suspended in the air and did not escape in time
- Goodwin suffered a severed spinal cord, broken spine and lost a kidney
Jonathan Goodwin is in a wheelchair, paralysed after severing his spinal cord, losing a kidney and shattering both his legs in October on set, Sherlock actress Amanda Abbington told the Jay Rayner podcast Out To Lunch.
“[He] nearly died, twice, on the operating table and on the stunt he did," Abbington told Rayner. "He's lucky to be alive."
Footage of the accident shows Goodwin suspended in air in a strait jacket, with cars hung either side of him.
The 42-year-old was crushed between the two cars which exploded into a ball of fire.
"They were supposed to release the cars just as he gets out of the strait jacket and falls onto an airbag," Abbington said.
Abbington said he was lucky to survive the accident.
“He did me a FaceTime message before he went into surgery and said there’s a 50-50 change I won’t make this," she said.
Goodwin was released from hospital four months later, in a wheelchair.
Abbington said he has retired from escapology now, but had been positive throughout the experience.
"He’s incredible. You would never believe for one moment that he’s been through that," she said. | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-05-05/jonathan-goodwin-paralysed-america-got-talent/101040500 | 2022-05-05T02:16:24Z | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-05-05/jonathan-goodwin-paralysed-america-got-talent/101040500 | true |
Public Service Commission approves sale of Kentucky Power
FRANKFORT, Ky. (WYMT) - The Kentucky Public Service Commission officially approved the sale of Kentucky Power from American Electric Power to Liberty Utilities, Inc. Thursday.
After an announcement in October 2021, Liberty officially filed to purchase Kentucky Power and AEP Kentucky Transmission Company, LLC in January 2022 for more than $2.8 billion, including taking on more than $1.2 billion in debt. American Electric Power is set to net $1.4 billion in cash after taxes and fees, which company officials indicated to the KSPC they would re-invest in renewable energy in other subsidiaries.
Liberty told the KPSC that it plans to retain all Kentucky Power employees with the same or similar pay and benefits.
The sale was approved with modifications, including a requirement that Kentucky Power customers receive a $30 million payment to make up for continued subsidization of activities with other AEP affiliates. Failure to address the issue will result in an additional $45 million payment to Kentucky Power customers.
Another modifications require the creation of a $43.5 million fund to offset restoration expenses and a proposed $40 million fuel adjustment clause credit.
Kentucky Power serves approximately 165,000 customers across 20 counties in Eastern Kentucky. The company also owns and operates the Big Sandy Natural Gas Plant in Lawrence County, and has a stake in the Mitchell coal-fired plant in Marshall County, W. Va.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — A former Fort Worth police officer will face his murder trial next month in the city where he fatally shot a Black woman through a window of her home in 2019, a Texas judge ruled Wednesday.
Judge David Hagerman denied a motion by the lawyers for Aaron Dean, who were seeking to move his trial for the killing of Atatiana Jefferson to another county because of media coverage that they claimed had tainted the jury pool against the 37-year-old. But he agreed to their request to postpone the case, moving it back a month.
The decision means Dean will go on trial in June a few miles from where he shot Jefferson through a rear window while responding to a call about the front door being open. The 28-year-old Black woman’s killing shattered already fragile relations between the city’s police department and its Black community.
After nearly three days of hearings, Hagerman ruled that news coverage about the shooting had not been inflammatory and that Dean’s case will proceed in Tarrant County, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) west of Dallas, according to theFort Worth Star-Telegram.
Dean’s trial has been delayed for years as the COVID-19 pandemic ground courts across the country to a standstill. It had been set to begin on May 16, but the former officer’s lawyers asked for further delay Wednesday because one of them is in poor heath.
Hagerman set the trial for June 23 and said it will proceed with or without the attorney, KXAS-TV reported.
Dean resigned after he was charged with murderin Jefferson’s Oct. 12, 2019, death.
Jefferson was watching her 8-year-old nephew when a neighbor called a nonemergency police line to report that a door was ajar. Police have said that Dean opened fire from outside through a window after “perceiving a threat.”
Hagerman has issued a gag order has been issued that prevents prosecutors and defense attorneys from speaking publicly about the case. | https://www.cenlanow.com/national/ex-cops-murder-trial-to-remain-in-fort-worth-judge-rules/ | 2022-05-05T02:26:31Z | https://www.cenlanow.com/national/ex-cops-murder-trial-to-remain-in-fort-worth-judge-rules/ | false |
LAS VEGAS, N.M. (AP) — Firefighters slowed the advance of the largest wildfire in the U.S. as heavy winds relented Wednesday, while President Joe Biden approved a disaster declaration that brings new financial resources to remote stretches of northern New Mexico devastated by the blaze.
U.S. Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez announced the presidential disaster declaration during an evening briefing by the U.S. Forest Service about efforts to contain the fire, which has fanned out across 250 square miles (647 square kilometers) of high alpine forest and grasslands at the southern tip of the Rocky Mountains.
“It will help us do that rebuilding and it will help us with the expenses and the hardship that people are facing right now,” the congresswoman said. “We’re glad it happened this quickly.”
Fire bosses said they are seizing upon an interlude of relatively calm and cool weather to keep the fire from pushing any closer to the small New Mexico city of Las Vegas and other villages scattered along the fire’s shifting fronts. Airplanes and helicopters strategically dropped slurries of red fire retardant from the sky, as ground crews cleared timber and brush to starve the fire along crucial fronts.
Bulldozers for days have been scraping fire lines on the outskirts of Las Vegas, population about 13,000, while crews have been conducting burns to clear vegetation along the dozer lines. Aircraft dropped more fire retardant as a second line of defense along a ridge just west of town in preparation for intense winds expected over the weekend.
Local law enforcement officials urged residents to be careful not to spread misinformation. Las Vegas Police Chief Antonio Salazar said his officers would provide “burglary patrols” of evacuated areas and help maintain order at a local Walmart as people line up to purchase supplies.
Meanwhile, numerous fire engines and crews remained stationed Wednesday on the western edge of town.
Getting the right resources into the right areas when they can do the most good is the goal, fire officials said.
“And the chess board keeps getting bigger. That makes it even more complicated,” fire information officer Andy Lyon said Wednesday, referencing a peak and ridge on the northern end of the fire that weren’t factors just days ago. “So now that topography is part of our equation, part of the chess board.”
The fire grew to 250 square miles (647 square kilometers), with containment stuck at 20% of its perimeter. In one area, the fire was about a mile (1.6 kilometers) away from Las Vegas on Wednesday, but the real concern were the gusts of 60 mph (96 kph) or more that were expected to sweep over the area during the weekend.
Officials at Los Alamos National Laboratory were warily tracking another wildfire that crept Wednesday within about 5 miles (8 kilometers) of facilities at the U.S. national defense laboratory based in Los Alamos.
Fire crews worked to widen a road road that stands between the fire and Los Alamos while clearing out underbrush and treating the area with fire retardant.
“Currently, we feel confident that our mitigation measures will protect Laboratory property,” said Rich Nieto, the laboratory’s wildland fire manager in a statement.
Wildfires have become a year-round threat in the drought-stricken West — moving faster and burning hotter than ever due to climate change, scientists and fire experts say. Fire officials also point to overgrown and unhealthy forested areas where built-up vegetation can worsen wildfire conditions.
Nationally, the National Interagency Fire Center reported Wednesday that a dozen uncontained large fires have burned about 436 square miles (1,129 square kilometers) in five states, including New Mexico. More than 3,500 wildland firefighters and support personnel are assigned to fires burning across the country.
While evacuations have yet to be ordered for the town, many residents are packed and ready to go and local school districts have canceled classes. An estimated 15,500 homes in outlying areas and in the valleys of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains that border the town have been affected by mandatory evacuations.
Martina Gonzales and her grandson watched Tuesday from their front yard as aircraft disappeared into a giant plume of smoke to fight the growing wildfire. Four-year-old Lukas yelled “airplane” every time one flew overhead in the effort to save Las Vegas, a commercial hub for the rural farming and ranching region.
Gonzales’ car was packed with valuables in case an evacuation order came, but she was not sure where they would go.
The tally of homes destroyed by the fire stands around 170.
On the northern flank of the big New Mexico fire, authorities said fire lines have kept the flames from crossing the towns of Cleveland and Mora.
The fire merged last week with another blaze sparked in early April when a prescribed fire set by land managers escaped containment. The cause of the other fire remains under investigation.

U.S. Congress edges toward massive China competition bill, with Iran votes
By Patricia Zengerle
WASHINGTON, May 4 (Reuters) - The U.S. Congress edged closer on Wednesday toward completing a long-stalled bill authorizing hundreds of billions of dollars to boost the country's ability to compete with Chinese technology, with Senate votes on motions addressing a range of issues, including Iran policy.
Although the motions are not binding, they convey a sense of what senators would like to see in the final bill and what could keep it from getting enough votes to become law.
With Democrats narrowly controlling the House of Representatives and Senate, Republicans used debate on the bill to offer motions weighing in on President Joe Biden's efforts to return to the international nuclear deal with Iran, passing them with support from some Democrats.
Republicans unanimously opposed the 2015 nuclear deal.
In one of an expected 28 votes, senators voted 62-33 for a "Motion to Instruct" that, if it became law, would bar the Biden administration from lifting the terrorist designation for Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, an obstacle to reviving the nuclear pact.
The Senate also voted 86-12 for a saying terrorism-related sanctions on Iran are necessary to limit cooperation between China and Iran.
Such provisions could complicate delicate negotiations on the nuclear deal, although western officials have largely lost hope that the pact can be resurrected after then-Republican President Donald Trump abandoned it in 2018.
They also could make it more difficult to pass the China competition bill, which has been working its way through Congress for the a year.
The Senate first passed a version in June 2021, with strong bipartisan support. That $250 billion bill was hailed as potentially the most significant government intervention in manufacturing in decades, but stalled in the House.
The House passed its version, the "America COMPETES Act of 2022," in February 2022. Every Republican in the chamber except one voted no.
The COMPETES Act authorizes almost $300 billion for research and development, including $52 billion to subsidize semiconductor manufacturing and research.
House and Senate lawmakers will begin their conference on a final COMPETES Act after the Senate votes on all 28 Motions to Instruct. Congressional aides expected months of negotiations.

Steven Kwan's hit in 10th allows Guardians to split DH with Padres
Rookie Steven Kwan's run-scoring single in the bottom of the 10th inning gave the Cleveland Guardians a 6-5 come-from-behind victory over the visiting San Diego Padres in Game 2 of a doubleheader on Wednesday.
The Padres won the first game 5-4.
Kwan, the American League Rookie of the Month for April, knocked in Owen Miller from second base with a groundball to right field off Padres reliever Dinelson Lamet (0-1).
Nick Sandlin (2-1) pitched a scoreless top of the 10th in relief.
The Guardians erupted for three runs in the bottom of the eighth to tie the score at 5-5. Miller scored on a single by Andres Gimenez and Austin Hedges followed with a run-scoring single off reliever Tim Hill. After San Diego made a pitching change, pinch-hitter Josh Naylor greeted reliever Robert Saurez with a line-drive single that scored Gimenez.
San Diego rookie left-hander MacKenzie Gore continued his standout pitching. He worked 5 2/3 innings and allowed four hits, one earned run and three walks. He fanned two batters and was removed by manager Bob Melvin after throwing his 100th pitch (59 strikes).
The Padres won six of their eight games on their just-concluded East Coast trip.
The Padres wasted little time getting to Guardians starter Cal Quantrill, who experienced some early control problems in the top of the first. Eric Hosmer's double in the gap in right-center scored Trent Grisham and Manny Machado, who both walked.
Hosmer scored on Ha-Seong Kim's single for a 3-0 advantage.
Quantrill, who came to Cleveland in the nine-player Mike Clevinger trade in 2020, worked six innings and allowed three earned runs, three hits and five walks. The right-hander struck out a season-high seven batters.
Singles by Gimenez, Straw and Amed Rosario loaded the bases in the third. Jose Ramirez walked to drive in his major league leading 29th run on the season, leaving the score at 3-1.
The Guardians edged closer with a run in the seventh inning. Ernie Clement's drive off the left-field wall drove in Hedges from first base after a close play at the plate, leaving the score 3-2.
San Diego scored two key insurance runs in the eighth. Jurickson Profar's double drove in Machado for a 4-2 advantage. Profar scored on a bases-loaded walk by C.J. Abrams. It was the first earned runs allowed by reliever Trevor Stephan this season.

PEORIA, AZ — A jury will decide Thursday if a man who was shot in the face by Peoria police during a traffic stop should be convicted of aggravated assault.
On Wednesday, Samuel Denk took the stand in his own trial, hoping to convince the jury he never intended to place Sgt. Miller "in reasonable apprehension of imminent physical injury" before Denk was shot in the face.
The shooting happened after a traffic stop near 83rd Avenue and W. Cholla Street, just before 11 p.m. on March 27, 2019.
Sgt. Miller pulled over Samuel Denk for not having "tail lamps."
In the police report, Sgt. Miller told detectives he was cautiously approaching the vehicle because he saw the driver "reaching around" and looking "at him using the mirror."
When Sgt. Miller was walking up to the driver's side door, he was greeted by Denk, who he quickly assessed had a gun in his lap. The following interaction occurred:
"Hey, how's it going?" asks Denk.
"Alright...I'm Sgt. Miller with the Peoria Police Department...Do not reach for that firearm."
"Ok."
"Put your hands on the steering wheel right now," says Sgt. Miller, before yelling the command again.
"Put your hands on the steering whe-(shot fired) -el!"
(pause)
"S***... God****it!"
On Monday Sgt. Miller testified he saw Denk move his hands toward the gun in his lap, and his fingers touch the weapon, which is why he shot him in the face.
Under oath though, Sgt. Miller clarified that Denk never "grabbed" the gun, as Peoria PD initially stated in their report.
The trial though, is not about Sgt. Miller. He has been criminally cleared.
It is about the Maricopa County Attorney's Office pursuing an aggravated assault charge on Denk, after he was the only person injured.
"Did you have any intent to touch the weapon," asked Jocquese Blackwell, Denk's defense attorney.
"No," replied Denk, contradicting Sgt. Miller. "Absolutely not."
Denk was adamant on the stand that he never intended to harm or alarm Sgt. Miller, and that he never committed aggravated assault.
"Did you raise your hands?" asked Blackwell.
"I attempted to," said Denk.
During cross, the prosecutor asked Denk about why he kept the gun in his lap in the first place.
And why, if he knew an officer was approaching, did he not immediately put his hands on the steering wheel.
"Why didn't your arms go straight up?" asked the prosecutor, Sloan Johnson.
"They were, it was a natural motion," said Denk, trying to show a slight dip before raising.
A juror posed a similar question to Denk: "You had time to put the gun on the dash, why didn't you?"
After the judge read the question, Denk said, "Because it was nighttime, and I didn't want to move a gun with the officer approaching my vehicle."
Before Denk testified Wednesday, a video expert was on the stand for the defense. He slowed down and brightened the body camera video to better show the jurors that both of Denk's hands were up and empty the second before he was shot in the face.
"You can see quite easily here in the B&W that there's nothing in the hands," said the video analyst.
The prosecution looked to make the point that the time frame was so short that, by the time his hands were rising in the body cam video, Sgt. Miller had already felt threatened, made the decision to shoot, and was in the process of firing.
After the defense and prosecution rested, Mr. Blackwell asked the judge to acquit Denk before the jury ever got the case to deliberate.
"I'm asking the court for an acquittal," said Blackwell. "They haven't provided this court any evidence to prove [Denk's] intent."
The judge denied the request and said the case will go to the jurors Thursday, after closing arguments.
But before he ruled on the motion, the judge gave a brief comment.
"I understand Miller has said only one hand touched the gun...This may be a case where the officer is justified...and at the same time the defendant is not committing the crime of aggravated assault."
We will continue to follow the case and update this story once the jury reached a verdict.
As we reported in 2021, Denk's lawyer is civilly suing the police department; arguing Denk never made a move for the pistol and that Sgt. Matthew Miller fired his weapon accidentally. | https://www.abc15.com/news/crime/man-shot-in-the-face-by-police-takes-stand-in-trial | 2022-05-05T02:41:35Z | https://www.abc15.com/news/crime/man-shot-in-the-face-by-police-takes-stand-in-trial | false |
A young couple in Ukraine found themselves celebrating their wedding in a hospital in the city of Lviv after 23-year-old Oksana Balandina lost both of her legs in a landmine blast amid the horrors of war as Russia continues to press forward with an invasion of Ukraine.
Balandina, despite her injuries, embraced her new husband as they shared their first dance.
"I did not want to live, I did not want to live such a life," Balandina told 9 News Australia from her hospital bed in Ukraine.
She has two children and fears for their well-being, not wanting them to worry about their mother.
But a change of heart came with the support of her family. "I need to keep living," she said. "It is not the end of life. If God left me alive, that is my destiny," she said.
Balandina recovered in the Lviv hospital and was fitted with prosthetic legs, which is when a simple wedding was organized in her hospital ward. The other patients there were witnesses to the young couple's wedding. | https://www.abc15.com/news/national/russia-ukraine-conflict/ukrainian-nurse-looses-legs-in-blast-during-war-now-dances-with-husband-at-wedding | 2022-05-05T02:42:05Z | https://www.abc15.com/news/national/russia-ukraine-conflict/ukrainian-nurse-looses-legs-in-blast-during-war-now-dances-with-husband-at-wedding | false |

NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Dr. Theophilus Bartholomew Boyd III, fourth-generation president/CEO and chairman emeritus of the R.H. Boyd family of companies (RHB).
In 1979, Dr. Boyd became the fourth-generation president/CEO of the company, then known as the National Baptist Publishing Board (NBPB), upon the passing of his father, Dr. T. B. Boyd, Jr., and served in this role with unsurpassed vigor and devotion.
Under his leadership, the NBPB and the National Baptist Congress (NBC) grew at a phenomenal rate.
Upon graduating from Tennessee State University, Dr. Boyd began working full time at NBPB as personnel director, working his way up through the company to gain a full understanding of all operations.
Upon taking the helm of the RHB family of companies, Dr. Boyd remarked: "It is a day of peace, a day of tranquility, a day of progress, and a day of recommitment to the very principles our forefathers laid down before us. Although the mantel has fallen on my shoulders, I will not let it hit the ground."
With a focus on growth and innovation, he designed and built a new corporate headquarters, which was completed in 1974, and launched the groundbreaking New National Baptist Hymnal, which by the early 1990s had more than five million copies in print. He also inspired an innovative dimension of the NBC structure—the Youth Congress Division—designed for children, youth, and young adults, ages 4 through 24, to enhance the church's ability to foster the spiritual growth and development of its younger generation.
His commitment to youth and education continued with the founding of the R.H. Boyd Family Endowment Fund, which provides scholarships to students and grants to community organizations.
In October 2017, Dr. Boyd retired and his oldest daughter, Dr. LaDonna Boyd, became the fifth-generation president/CEO of the family of companies. Dr. Boyd was married for nearly 38 years to the former Yvette Duke and had four children—T. B. IV, LaDonna, Shalaé, and Justin.
He was a family-oriented man, and his commitment to faith and community were evident in everything that he did. He was a locally and nationally recognized leader and speaker. Additionally, he had a robust passion for life, enjoying activities such as running marathons, boating, and traveling.
Dr. Boyd was a pillar in the Nashville community who was civically engaged through many endeavors. His affiliations and involvements included Kappa Alpha Psi, Fraternity, Inc., Nashville's Chi Boulé chapter of Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity, chairman emeritus of Citizens Bank, and former vice-chairman of the board of trustees at Meharry Medical College.
Dr. Boyd was a founding visionary and board member of the new National Museum of African American Music (NMAAM) in Nashville, Tenn., as well as a founding major donor to the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C. The Boyd Family, R.H. Boyd, and Citizens Bank have exhibits in the NMAAHC.
In lieu of flowers, tax-deductible donations may be made to the R.H. Boyd Family Endowment Fund in Dr. Boyd's honor at www.rhboyd.com/endowment. Information regarding arrangements is forthcoming.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A seven-year fight to pass a medical marijuana billmay have abruptly ended Wednesday in South Carolina when a House leader ruled the proposal contains an unconstitutional tax increase and cannot be considered further.
The decision shocked leaders in the state Senate and may have repercussions well beyond failing to make South Carolina one of about 40 states allowing patients to use marijuana as medicine.
Senate leaders, stunned to see years of hard work by respected colleague Sen. Tom Davis cast aside with no debate, said their deteriorating relationship with the House will need to be repaired after the decision. The chambers are more than $1 billion apart on a budget and threatening each other over an early voting bill.
The decision “will likely have significant consequences” between the Senate and the House and hopefully ”cooler heads can prevail,” Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey said as a stunned Davis walked around talking to his colleagues.
Davis said he understood he had about 70 votes — roughly 10 more than he needed to pass the legislation. The Republican said he would spend Wednesday night looking for some other bill he might be able to attach a medical marijuana plan to that wouldn’t get caught up in such a ruling. Backers are seeking to get the legislation through the General Assembly in the four days remaining in the session.
“We suffered a setback procedurally in the House today. I can’t cry about it. I can’t pout about it. I can’t go back and lash out and hurt other people’s bills. That’s not productive,” Davis said.
The House appeared to be ready to debate the bill Wednesday. One thousand amendments organized in binders had been rolled on a cart to the front of the chamber. Davis, who has fought for the bill since 2015 was in the back of the House.
But just before debate began, one of the chief opponents of the bill asked Speaker Pro Tem Tommy Pope to rule that a 6% fee on medical marijuana sales to pay for regulations in the bill creates a new tax — a power only allowed under the state constitution by a bill that originates in the House.
Davis’ bill started in the Senate and — after considering the point for nearly three hours — Pope ruled the bill was out of order, killing it.
“This bill levies taxes in the strictest sense of the word. It is a core ingredient. It established a separate tax to create the whole infrastructure,” Pope said.
House members voted 59-55 to back Pope’s ruling, meaning this medical marijuana bill is dead for this year.
Davis crafted his proposal to be as conservative as possible. The bill specifies the illnesses that could be treated, including cancer, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma, sickle cell anemia and autism. It also states that the marijuana could only be obtained through specially chosen pharmacies.
Smoking the drug would remain illegal in South Carolina. Instead, patients would have to use oils, salves, patches or vaporizers. Doctors would have to meet patients in person and patients could only get a two-week supply at one time.
Senate leaders and House members opposed to the ruing about the tax issue said Wednesday’s decision made no sense because all sorts of bills that alter taxes or raise revenue start in the Senate. They pointed out bills from increasing fines for passing a school bus to charging people extra to get specialty license tags, among other examples.
House Minority Leader Todd Rutherford said if Pope sticks to his ruling, it would destroy decades of work between the Senate and House.
“The bill is dead. And it is dead because the House with Speaker Pro Tem Pope decided to take complete control of the General Assembly,” the Democratic leader said.
The House and Senate are ending this session with a strained relationship. The House is attaching its election proposal to a number of Senate bills to force senators to act. The Senate’s budget appears to have less negotiating room than usual as senators are pushing $1 billion in tax rebates the House does not support.
Davis said opponents couldn’t beat the bill on a regular vote so they tried a last ditch maneuver that worked. But he said he plans to keep fighting no matter what because he can’t stop now.
“There’s frustration. Seven years worth of work. Seven years worth of public testimony. Seven years worth of doctors and caregivers and moms and people coming and testifying and talking how this could make a material difference in their lives,” Davis said.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — What could be the final primary debate between Republicans running for Pennsylvania’s open U.S. Senate seat devolved into a string of attacks over China, abortion and more as the candidates stretched Wednesday night for any perceived advantage in a wide-open and expensive race.
In many cases, the five candidates blew off questions during the hour-long debate in favor of repeating talking points and attacking rivals.
Attackers often tried to make hay out of the business ties to China by former hedge fund CEO David McCormick and Mehmet Oz, best known as the heart surgeon-turned-celebrity and host of daytime TV’s “The Dr. Oz Show.”
Abortion made one question at the debate, despite headlines being dominated in the wake of a leaked draft of a Supreme Court opinion suggesting the court’s conservative majority is poised to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion nationwide.
The candidates applauded the overturning of Roe v. Wade, but none responded directly to the sole question on abortion: whether the candidates support any exceptions for abortion and if they have changed their opinion over the years.
Instead, McCormick and Barnette tried to paint Oz as insufficiently loyal to the anti-abortion cause because of comments on a 2019 radio show in which Oz seemed to support the standard set in 1973’s Roe v. Wade opinion.
At the debate, Oz insisted he is pro-life and said “life starts at conception,” a talking point for anti-abortion groups that want to ban abortion of any diagnosed pregnancy.
The primary is May 17.
The debate was sponsored by the conservative broadcaster Newsmax and held in a packed auditorium at a private Christian school, Grove City College in northwestern Pennsylvania.

NEW YORK (AP) — The company behind the TurboTax tax-filing program will pay $141 million to customers across the United States who were deceived by misleading promises of free tax-filing services, New York’s attorney general announced Wednesday.
Under the terms of a settlement signed by the attorneys general of all 50 states, Mountain View, California-based Intuit Inc. will suspend TurboTax’s “free, free, free” ad campaign and pay restitution to nearly 4.4 million taxpayers, New York Attorney General Letitia James said.
James said her investigation into Intuit was sparked by a 2019 ProPublica report that found the company was using deceptive tactics to steer low-income tax filers away from the federally supported free services for which they qualified — and toward its own commercial products, instead.
“For years, Intuit misled the most vulnerable among us to make a profit. Today, every state in the nation is holding Intuit accountable for scamming millions of taxpayers, and we’re putting millions of dollars back into the pockets of impacted Americans,” James said in a statement. “This agreement should serve as a reminder to companies large and small that engaging in these deceptive marketing ploys is illegal.”
“As part of the agreement, Intuit admitted no wrongdoing, agreed to pay $141 million to put this matter behind it, and made certain commitments regarding its advertising practices,” representatives for Intuit said in a blog post Wednesday. “Intuit already adheres to most of these advertising practices and expects minimal impact to its business from implementing the remaining changes going forward.”
Until last year, Intuit offered two free versions of TurboTax. One was through its participation in the Internal Revenue Service’s Free File Program, geared toward taxpayers earning roughly $34,000 and members of the military. Intuit withdrew from the program in July 2021, saying in a blog post that the company could provide more benefits without the program’s limitations.
The company also offers a commercial product called “TurboTax Free Edition” that is only for taxpayers with “simple returns,” as defined by Intuit.
According to documents obtained by ProPublica, Intuit executives knew they were deceiving customers by advertising free services that were not in fact free to everyone.
“The website lists Free, Free, Free and the customers are assuming their return will be free,” an internal company PowerPoint presentation said. “Customers are getting upset.”
Under the agreement, Intuit will provide restitution to consumers who started using the commercial TurboTax Free Edition for tax years 2016 through 2018 and were told that they had to pay to file even though they were eligible for the version of TurboTax offered as part of the IRS Free File program.
Consumers are expected to receive a direct payment of approximately $30 for each year that they were deceived into paying for filing services, James said. They will automatically receive notices and checks by mail.
“We empower our customers to take control of their financial lives, which includes being in charge of their own tax preparation,” an Intuit spokesperson told ProPublica in a statement in 2019.
The spokesperson added that a “government-run pre-filled tax preparation system that makes the tax collector (who is also the investigator, auditor and enforcer) the tax preparer is fraught with conflicts of interest.” | https://pix11.com/news/national-news/ap-national/intuit-to-pay-141m-settlement-over-free-turbotax-ads/ | 2022-05-05T03:01:57Z | https://pix11.com/news/national-news/ap-national/intuit-to-pay-141m-settlement-over-free-turbotax-ads/ | true |

Connecting an iPad to a TV
There are a few instances where the relatively small display on an Apple iPad isn’t sufficient. It’s an excellent tool if you’re watching content by yourself. However, if you want to show a video clip or holiday photos to a large group, crowding around an iPad will diminish the experience.
While you can’t make your iPad’s display bigger, you can show its content on your TV screen. Depending on your setup, you can do this in a few steps that won’t require in-depth knowledge of electrical systems.
Connection methods
Wireless
The easiest way to connect your iPad to your television is through Apple’s wireless AirPlay connection. You can use AirPlay to stream or share content from your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch but only if you have an AirPlay 2-compatible smart TV or an Apple TV streaming device. Connect it to the same Wi-Fi network as the TV, find the video you want to play and tap on the AirPlay icon.
Typically, you can stream videos from Netflix and content from YouTube on your iPad. However, if you want to show off your latest holiday photos, you might need to tap on “Share” first before the AirPlay option becomes available.
There is a slightly different process if you want to display your iPad’s screen instead of sharing a video. But, again, you can only do this with an Apple TV or AirPlay 2-compatible smart TV.
When both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, swipe down on your iPad to bring up the Control Center. Tap on the Screen Mirroring option and select the suitable gadget from the list. You might need to enter the AirPlay passcode from the TV on your iPad to make the wireless connection.
With a cable
A different method for connecting your iPad to your TV is through a dedicated adapter or cable. Assuming your iPad has a Lightning connector, you will need a Lightning Digital AV Adapter or a Lightning to VGA Adapter, depending on your TV.
First, you must plug the Digital AV or VGA adapter into the charging port on the bottom of your iPad. Then, connect the corresponding HDMI or VGA cable to the other end of the adapter, and plug the loose end into your TV’s HDMI or VGA port.
Turn on your iPad, and what’s there should be visible on the TV screen. Depending on the port you connected it to, you might need to cycle through your TV input source. There is also a port for a Lightning to USB cable to charge your iPad while using it.
What you need to buy to connect your iPad to your TV

LAS VEGAS, N.M. (AP) — Firefighters slowed the advance of the largest wildfire in the U.S. as heavy winds relented Wednesday, while President Joe Biden approved a disaster declaration that brings new financial resources to remote stretches of northern New Mexico devastated by the blaze.
U.S. Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez announced the presidential disaster declaration during an evening briefing by the U.S. Forest Service about efforts to contain the fire, which has fanned out across 250 square miles (647 square kilometers) of high alpine forest and grasslands at the southern tip of the Rocky Mountains.
“It will help us do that rebuilding and it will help us with the expenses and the hardship that people are facing right now,” the congresswoman said. “We're glad it happened this quickly.”
Fire bosses said they are seizing upon an interlude of relatively calm and cool weather to keep the fire from pushing any closer to the small New Mexico city of Las Vegas and other villages scattered along the fire’s shifting fronts. Airplanes and helicopters strategically dropped slurries of red fire retardant from the sky, as ground crews cleared timber and brush to starve the fire along crucial fronts.

Bulldozers for days have been scraping fire lines on the outskirts of Las Vegas, population about 13,000, while crews have been conducting burns to clear vegetation along the dozer lines. Aircraft dropped more fire retardant as a second line of defense along a ridge just west of town in preparation for intense winds expected over the weekend.
Local law enforcement officials urged residents to be careful not to spread misinformation. Las Vegas Police Chief Antonio Salazar said his officers would provide “burglary patrols” of evacuated areas and help maintain order at a local Walmart as people line up to purchase supplies.
Meanwhile, numerous fire engines and crews remained stationed Wednesday on the western edge of town.
Getting the right resources into the right areas when they can do the most good is the goal, fire officials said.
“And the chess board keeps getting bigger. That makes it even more complicated," fire information officer Andy Lyon said Wednesday, referencing a peak and ridge on the northern end of the fire that weren't factors just days ago. “So now that topography is part of our equation, part of the chess board.”
The fire grew to 250 square miles (647 square kilometers), with containment stuck at 20% of its perimeter. In one area, the fire was about a mile (1.6 kilometers) away from Las Vegas on Wednesday, but the real concern were the gusts of 60 mph (96 kph) or more that were expected to sweep over the area during the weekend.
Officials at Los Alamos National Laboratory were warily tracking another wildfire that crept Wednesday within about 5 miles (8 kilometers) of facilities at the U.S. national defense laboratory based in Los Alamos.
Fire crews worked to widen a road road that stands between the fire and Los Alamos while clearing out underbrush and treating the area with fire retardant.
“Currently, we feel confident that our mitigation measures will protect Laboratory property,” said Rich Nieto, the laboratory’s wildland fire manager in a statement.
Wildfires have become a year-round threat in the drought-stricken West — moving faster and burning hotter than ever due to climate change, scientists and fire experts say. Fire officials also point to overgrown and unhealthy forested areas where built-up vegetation can worsen wildfire conditions.
Nationally, the National Interagency Fire Center reported Wednesday that a dozen uncontained large fires have burned about 436 square miles (1,129 square kilometers) in five states, including New Mexico. More than 3,500 wildland firefighters and support personnel are assigned to fires burning across the country.
While evacuations have yet to be ordered for the town, many residents are packed and ready to go and local school districts have canceled classes. An estimated 15,500 homes in outlying areas and in the valleys of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains that border the town have been affected by mandatory evacuations.
Martina Gonzales and her grandson watched Tuesday from their front yard as aircraft disappeared into a giant plume of smoke to fight the growing wildfire. Four-year-old Lukas yelled “airplane” every time one flew overhead in the effort to save Las Vegas, a commercial hub for the rural farming and ranching region.
Gonzales' car was packed with valuables in case an evacuation order came, but she was not sure where they would go.
The tally of homes destroyed by the fire stands around 170.
On the northern flank of the big New Mexico fire, authorities said fire lines have kept the flames from crossing the towns of Cleveland and Mora.
The fire merged last week with another blaze sparked in early April when a prescribed fire set by land managers escaped containment. The cause of the other fire remains under investigation.

‘The Masked Singer’: Queen Cobras, Space Bunny eliminated in double reveal
LOS ANGELES - It was a double unmasking on Wednesday night’s new episode of "The Masked Singer" and that meant double the surprises and double the shock value.
In the seventh series’ new episode, two contestants were forced to "take it off" and be revealed — and this time it was the Queen Cobras and Space Bunny who would leave the competition.
But who were the contestants under the masks?
Space Bunny revealed on ‘The Masked Singer’
The first celebrity to be eliminated was Space Bunny, who was costumed as a fuzzy rabbit decked out in astronaut gear. Underneath the mask was Grammy-award winning icon and singer Shaggy.

"The cool thing is that you actually played the game. You disguised your voice every single time. You have such a distinct voice," host Nick Cannon told Shaggy after his reveal.

Despite the challenges of performing in a heavy costume, Shaggy said he enjoyed his experience being on the show.
"I’m feeling pretty good going home tonight because it was a lot of fun. I’m allergic to boredom," Shaggy shared.
Queen Cobras eliminated from ‘The Masked Singer’
The Queen Cobras were the next contestants to be revealed and slither away from the competition without a trophy.
The snake costumes turned out to be En Vogue — the legendary seven-time Grammy-nominated girl group.
"This is a special moment for me," panelist Robin Thicke shared. "When I grew up, I studied the harmonies, I watched the videos. Your voices, your records, those harmonies — they stand up to the test of time. Thank you so much for blessing us by coming on this show. We’re so grateful."
The platinum-selling recording artists told the audience that the show took them out of their comfort zone.
"It was a challenge singing in the costumes, but it’s also like singing in fantasyland. It’s such a great show, and it was such a great experience for us," Cindy Herron, one of the group’s members, shared.

In the group’s exit interview, they called their experience on the show a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,"
"We really got an opportunity to stretch as artists and that is something that I will cherish from my experience here moving forward," Rhona Bennett added.
Next week, relive the most memorable moments from Season 7 on the "Road To The Finale."
It all leads up to the season finale on Wed. May 18, where Firefly, Ringmaster and the Prince will battle it out for the chance to be named the last mask standing and win the Golden Mask Trophy.
Kristie Alley revealed as Baby Mammoth
Last week, the celebrity costumed in a fuzzy pink elephant mask turned out to be Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning actress Kirstie Alley.
I’ve done a lot of things in my career, but I’ve never gotten to be in the circus," Alley shared to the audience, adding, "I have grandchildren, and they’re very young, so they’re going to think this is good."
Three teams continue to battle it out for "The Masked Singer" trophy: The Good, The Bad and The Cuddly — which is also the season’s slogan. Alley was part of Team Cuddly.

"I’m a huge fan of yours," Thicke told Alley after her reveal. "You are one of a kind. There is nobody like Kristie Alley. "It’s really an honor and blessing to have you here. Thank you for coming."
"The Masked Singer" is a top-secret singing competition in which celebrities face off against each other and appear in elaborate costumes with full face masks to conceal their identities.
The singers may attempt to throw off the crowd, but keen observers might pick up on tiny clues buried throughout the show. Each week, a singer is eliminated – and then reveals his or her true identity.
Watch all-new episodes of "The Masked Singer" on FOX Wednesdays from 8-9 p.m. ET/PT.

Season 4, episode 10 — "The Semi Finals – The Super Six": Eventual season-winner Sun (no spoilers!) delivered a number of top-notch performances, but her version of Billie Eilish’s "When the Party’s Over" might be not only her best of the season, but the best of the fourth season and one of the greatest in the show’s history. Mushroom’s rendition of the Amy Winehouse song "Valerie" ain’t half bad either.
Season 5, episode 1 — "Season 5 Premiere - Return of the Masks": Better remembered as the episode where (okay, a little spoiler follows, scroll past if you don’t want to know) ... (seriously, look away) ... (last warning) ... Kermit the Frog was revealed to be the Snail. Kermit the Frog! A fictional, non-human character! Also definitely the most famous celebrity to ever appear on the show! That was a wild one.
Season 3, episode 10 — "The Super Nine Masked Singer Special: Groups A, B & C": It’s important to remember that this episode aired on April 1, 2020. There was a lot going on that month! So while most April Fools Day jokes are indisputably lame, the one Astronaut pulled — "Rickrolling" America with a legitimately great rendition of Rick Astley’s "Never Gonna Give You Up" — was undeniably welcome.
Season 1, episode 8 — "Semi Finals: Double Unmasking": The double-unmasking is exciting, sure, but this episode is best remembered as the time Monster sang Sam Smith’s "Stay With Me," another contender for the best performance in the show’s history. Seriously, just listen to this.
Season 1, episode 1 — "Season Premiere: Mask On Face Off": Here’s where the madness begins, but as with any truly great episode of this madcap series, it’s one single performance that stands out. In the U.S. series premiere, the performance also happened to be the first performance. Peacock’s rendition of "The Greatest Show" from the Hugh Jackman movie musical "The Greatest Showman" was, appropriately enough, a show-stopper, and it set the bar high.

Baffert angry, defiant in recorded calls after banned drug found in Medina Spirit’s system
‘Somebody’s out to destroy me and this is not right,’ Baffert said in calls recorded by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission
Note: The audio recordings are at the bottom of this article.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - A series of phone conversations recorded by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission (KHRC) reveal an angry, defiant, resentful, and suspicious Bob Baffert complaining to state officials that someone is out to “destroy” him – two days after learning that his 2021 Derby winner Medina Spirit tested positive for the prohibited race day drug betamethasone.
“There’s something going on in Kentucky that’s not right,” Baffert said in one recorded call. “And now you’re going…to drag me through the mud. There is something drastically wrong with what’s going on, because this sounds like…just a setup deal to me.”
The KHRC recorded three phone calls with Baffert on May 8, 2021, during which he denies responsibility for Medina Spirit’s test results and attempts to blame someone else.
”I didn’t do anything wrong on my part, but I’m going to have to take that,” Baffert said. “And… I’ve about had it, about had it with Kentucky. I mean, this is - this is ridiculous, you know? This is not right. And somebody f----- me … in the test barn, or … there’s something going on. Somebody did something. They got the wrong horse or whatever, but betamethasone? Give me a break, you know? Come on.”
Baffert claimed more than 20 times in a 13-and-a-half-minute conversation that state race regulators were wrong about the testing. Numerous times he suggested he was being targeted.
“This is going to be it for me,” he said in the recordings. “I’m just going to fight it until … the end and it’s criminal, whatever is going on. I don’t know if it was in the lab. Somebody’s out to destroy me and this is not right.”
At certain points, Baffert had some choice words for three KHRC racing stewards on the other end of the line, and his attorney later said the Hall of Fame trainer was unaware the phone calls were being recorded and that they were recorded illegally.
WAVE News obtained the recordings after submitting a records request to the KHRC. The recordings are of three phone conversations between Baffert and state racing stewards Barbara Borden, Brooks “Butch” Becraft, and Tyler Picklesimer.
The KHRC declined to comment on the details of the recordings.
According to Clark O. Brewster, an attorney for the Baffert family, “These secret recordings reveal a fundamental contradiction in the false narrative that KHRC and Churchill Downs have pushed about Bob. They show a man who cares deeply about the integrity of racing and who from the beginning called for a full and fair investigation into Medina Spirit’s positive test.” Brewster also said, “Powerful forces have aligned against Bob, but we believe the facts, the truth and transparency will win every time against a false narrative, secrecy and obfuscation.”
“I can’t believe this is happening,” Baffert can be heard saying in the recordings. “Here I was going over there to enjoy it, and all this excitement, and this s--- happens? Come on. In Kentucky, I mean, it’s a cesspool. I mean, I’m really down on freaking Kentucky right now. Something went wrong.”
Baffert said the betamethasone in Medina Spirit’s blood came from a topical lotion containing the medication two days after the recorded conversations. He said that it was used to treat a rash on the horse’s skin. According to his attorneys, using the medicine topically does not violate KHRC regulations, but injecting betamethasone does.
According to the executive director of the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium, betamethasone administered through injection is not permitted on race day since the anti-inflammatory might possibly disguise an injury before a race (RMTC).

Eta Aquarids to peak Friday with up to 30 meteors visible per hour
(Gray News) – The Eta Aquarid meteor shower will peak this week, with at least 30 meteors visible during the peak of the meteor shower in some locations, according to NASA.
The meteors will be traveling fast in the Earth’s atmosphere at about 148,000 miles per hour, the agency says.
The fast meteors leave glowing “trains,” which are incandescent bits of debris that appear in the wake of the meteor.
People in both Northern and Southern hemispheres will be able to view the meteor showers during their peak in the hours before dawn.
The Southern hemisphere is better for viewing the showers, NASA says. The Northern hemisphere only has an hourly rate of about 10 meteors. The southern half of the U.S. may be able to see 10 to 20 meteors per hours under a dark sky with no moon and when the radiant is high in the sky, according to Earthsky.org.
The constellation of Aquarius, which is home to the radiant of the Eta Aquarids, is higher up in the sky in the Southern hemisphere than it is in the Northern hemisphere.
Although the shower peaks Friday, it will be viewable until around May 28.

A cyclist who was unable to remember her husband and children and even how a mobile phone worked after suffering serious head injuries when she was hit by a car has spoken about how her recovery has given her a new way of life.
Emma Feesey, 48, suffered a brain injury after being involved in an accident as as she cycled home from work.
When she came round she did not know if she was married, or had children – despite having two daughters with her husband Colin, 49.
But, almost five years on from the accident, she told how she had learned that “what matters is being happy, healthy and doing good things”.
The mother of two, from Edinburgh, said: “The important thing is survivors know that no matter how strange or hard things seem, life gets better.”
She spoke about her injuries, and her recovery from them, ahead of taking part in the Edinburgh Head Injury Information Day, hosted by the law firm Digby Brown.
At the time of her accident in August 2017, she was a criminal justice social worker and was cycling home from work when she was hit by a car at the Deans Roundabout in West Lothian.
Despite wearing a helmet, she suffered a subarachnoid haemorrhage after her head struck the ground.
She was treated at the Western General hospital in Edinburgh for three days, before being transferred to the Astley Ainslie Hospital in the capital, which offers specialist rehabilitation services for adults who have suffered brain injuries.
She recalled: “I was asked if I was married and I didn’t know. I was asked if I had children and, again, had no idea.”
Speaking about her husband, she said: “Colin was really worried,. Firstly, to think I died and then to realise I had no memory of him and the girls.”
But she added: “Then when I remembered my husband and my daughters I wanted them there all the time.
“I’d think, ‘I love Colin. Colin should be here. I want to see Colin’. There is a simplicity to your thoughts when going through trauma.”
She continued: “I felt physically okay and I only knew I had a brain injury because people kept telling me I had one.”
However, the accident also left her unable to perform some tasks, such as sketching simple objects, and she failed to recognise her mobile phone.
She recalled that “everything was very slow and detached” after the crash.
Ms Feesey, who has daughters, Rosa, 26, and Zora, 24, continued: “I remember finding a ‘communication device’ near my bed. I now know it was my phone but at the time it was just a thing I thought would help me document things.
“It took me ages to type anything. I just kept taking photos of my own face, and when I did finally manage I unknowingly posted it to Facebook which caused a commotion.
“But I was most frustrated when I was asked to draw a clock and a giraffe.
“With the clock I drew the number one, put in a few other numbers and drew a shape around them and with the giraffe I drew it like a horse with a long neck – but the hospital wasn’t satisfied.”
She added that it took about three weeks for “everything to click into place” after the accident, saying that while the “constant questions” she was asked by medics had been “exhausting” they were also “part of the process to get your brain working and I’m thankful to have come through things”.
While she has retired from work on medical grounds, she now leads a yoga class, and has even been able to return to cycling, after overcoming PTSD-related flashbacks.
She stated: “I’ve learned through all this, especially during the pandemic, that what matters is being happy, healthy and doing good things.
“I look after myself and focus on my yoga and other workshops and I still cycle when I can.
“The hardest part is simply adjusting to a new life. Getting to know and embrace your new trajectory is something an acquired brain injury survivor will at some point have to deal with.
“But this is me and I have a nice life. I’m generally – and genuinely – happy in my world.”

He added: “We help people like Emma and her family every day so we know it matters that other survivors have inspiration to draw on as they continue with their own recovery.” | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/scotland/3259808/cyclist-tells-how-she-could-not-remember-husband-or-children-after-accident/ | 2022-05-05T04:00:53Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/scotland/3259808/cyclist-tells-how-she-could-not-remember-husband-or-children-after-accident/ | true |
Shoppers should choose value brands in supermarkets to manage their household finances, a Cabinet minister suggested as Boris Johnson acknowledged the economy was going through a tough patch.
Environment Secretary George Eustice said chicken and other fresh produce was going up in price as producers faced increased costs.
He suggested that consumers could “contain and manage their household budget” by changing the brands they buy in shops.
Opposition politicians condemned Mr Eustice’s remarks as “patronising”, while MoneySavingExpert founder Martin Lewis said that while there was nothing wrong with the advice, it is “bullshit” to suggest people on the lowest incomes do not already know and do that.
Mr Eustice’s comments come as the latest figures show shop prices are up 2.7% on last year, marking their highest rate of inflation for more than a decade.
Food inflation accelerated to 3.5% in April, up from 3.3% in March, although fresh food inflation slowed slightly from 3.5% to 3.4% amid fierce competition between supermarkets which resisted price hikes on everyday essentials, according to the BRC-NielsenIQ Shop Price Index.
The squeeze on household finances is expected to get worse, with the CPI measure of inflation expected to hit a 40-year high of 8.7% in the final three months of the year, according to Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts.
Mr Eustice told Sky News that rising fertiliser and feed costs had hit the farming industry, partly as a result of soaring energy prices.
He said: “The better news is that we have a very, very competitive retail market with 10 big supermarkets and the four main ones competing very aggressively, particularly on some of the lower-cost, everyday value items for households, so things like spaghetti and ambient products – there’s a lot of competition to keep those prices down.
“Where it gets harder is on things like chicken and poultry, and some fresh produce, where those increased feed costs do end up getting passed through the system because these people work on wafer-thin margins and they have to pass that cost through.”
Mr Eustice said “generally speaking, what people find is by going for some of the value brands” or supermarket own-brand products “they can actually contain and manage their household budget”.
But he acknowledged “it will undoubtedly put a pressure on household budgets and, of course, it comes on top of those high gas prices as well”.
The Prime Minister was challenged about the comments that opposition parties branded as “patronising” during a broadcast interview.
Mr Johnson told reporters: “What we want to do is help people in any way that we can through the aftershocks of Covid.
“What you have got is inflationary spikes, mainly in energy, but that’s knocking on into all sorts of other costs for people, for families.”
He highlighted the Government’s £22 billion package of support, including £9 billion to help with energy bills, but said a shift to a “high-wage, high-skill” economy would be the best protection.
He insisted the country was better-placed than it was during previous inflation crises.
“The best future for the country is: Get through the tough patch we have now, support people in any way that we can, but remember we are now seeing a lot of employment and people in high-wage, high-skilled jobs.
“That’s a much better position to be in than we were in the 1980s or 1990s.”
Labour’s shadow Treasury chief secretary, Pat McFadden, described Mr Eustice’s comments as “woefully out of touch from a Government with no solution to the cost-of-living crisis facing working people”.
Mr McFadden added: “It’s time for the Government to get real help to people rather than comments that simply expose how little they understand about the real struggles people are facing to pay their bills.”
Liberal Democrat work and pensions spokeswoman Wendy Chamberlain said: “These comments show George Eustice and the Conservatives are living in a parallel universe.
“Families and pensioners who can’t afford their weekly shop need more help, not patronising advice from a clueless minister.”
Mr Eustice’s comments follow widespread advice to consumers trying to cope with the cost-of-living crisis to consider dropping a price level at the supermarket to save money.
Supermarkets separate their products into different categories, from the most expensive premium level through to progressively cheaper branded products, own brand and value lines.
MSE says downshifting – dropping down a price level on brands at the supermarket – typically cuts grocery bills by 30%.
Speaking to LBC’s Tonight With Andrew Marr and asked about Mr Eustice’s remarks, Mr Lewis said: “There is nothing wrong with the advice but what is wrong is the concept that the people who are on the lowest incomes, who are choosing between whether they freeze or starve, don’t know that and don’t do that. That’s the bullshit.
“It isn’t the advice. The advice is perfectly reasonable: if you’re going supermarket shopping and you’re buying the most expensive brands and you need to cut back then drop down a brand level or two, but the idea that that is some panacea for the working poor and the non-working poor in this country who don’t have enough income, and that they don’t know that, well that’s why it comes across as patronising and difficult.” | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/politics/3260609/eustice-choose-value-brands-to-help-manage-household-finances/ | 2022-05-05T04:07:07Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/politics/3260609/eustice-choose-value-brands-to-help-manage-household-finances/ | false |
One-hundred-ten golfers from Calhoun County and the surrounding area rolled into Cider Ridge Country Club this past week with high hopes. The course won as brisk winds, dry greens and challenging pin placements sent scores soaring in the 36-hole event.
One lone golfer, 15-year-old White Plains sophomore Sawyer Edwards, emerged off the final hole Sunday with a score under par. Edwards stunned everyone with a masterful performance, avoiding trouble and shooting 3-under par for the tournament.
He is the youngest player ever to win a Calhoun County Tour event as he battled the elements with calmness. He won by three strokes over Ty Cole, who shot even par for the tournament. Brennan Clay ended up third at 1-over par.
Gary Wigington, Morton Holcomb and Landon Straub finished tied for fourth place at 2-over par.
Edwards and Straub started Sunday’s round at 6-under par and led the field by three strokes after both shot 66 on Saturday.
Edwards’ putter failed him on the opening two holes with a couple of three putts. He found himself three strokes behind Straub after a bogey on No. 4. Straub parred the first four holes.
Straub parred the next three holes, while everyone else was just trying to survive. He was solid, while Edwards righted his ship with a birdie to get to 4-under par heading to No. 8. It was going to be a two-player race on the back nine.
Straub blinked first on No. 8, missing a short putt for par. He then double-bogeyed No. 9, and all of a sudden, Edwards led by one stroke at 4 under.
Straub bogeyed Nos. 10 and 14, while Edwards was steady in reeling off pars. Edwards parred eight of the nine holes on the back nine.
“My putting was not there today, but I just kept hitting the ball. It was just a lot of fun out there,” Edwards said. “I just wanted to keep the ball inbounds and I was fortunate enough to do that.”
Edwards, who won the Calhoun County boys high school golf tournament, says he plans to play in as many Calhoun County Tour events as he can this year.
Brad Moultrie (145), Justin Graveman (148), Kenny Okins (149), Jeff Bain (153), Michael Casey (161), Heath Hammond (169) and Alex Whaley (181) were winners in the other flights.
James Beavers shot a 146 to win the Senior A division and Keith Haywood won the Senior B division with a score of 163.
Cane Creek senior two-man
The team of Moyer/Curry shot 61 to win the Cane Creek senior two-man scramble on May 2. The team of Doss/Stephens placed second with a round of 63.
The team of McClain/Ware won the second flight on a tiebreaker over the team of Craven/Talley with a score of 69. The team of Irwin/Haywood shot 72 to win the third flight by one stroke over the team of Simmons/Collins. The team of New/Holland shot a75 to win the fourth flight by one shot over the team of Reese/Connell.

Jennifer Grey knows what she'd say to Patrick Swayze if she could see him today. ET spoke with the 62-year-old actress following the release of her memoir, Out of the Corner, and she reflected on her relationship with her dearly departed Dirty Dancing co-star, and shared what she wishes she could tell him now. Swayze died in 2009 after a battle with cancer.
"'Look what we did,'" Grey said of her would-be message to the late actor, who played Johnny Castle in the iconic 1987 flick. "We were playing kids and we were really young, in terms of where I sit now and where he would be now. With that kind of distance to be able to just say, 'Look, we did something crazy. It was so hard and we did it.'"
Grey, who starred as Baby in the movie, went on to praise Swayze as "such a good man, such a kind person."
"He's just a good guy. Everybody loved him... If we could have just laughed today and been like, 'Look at us. We're just old people now. Look what we did when we were younger,'" she said. "I am so grateful is what I am. I am so grateful to have had him as my Johnny... I just never had a man show up for me the way he did and that was something I will never forget."
Initially, though, Grey wasn't sold on having Swayze play her romantic interest in the film.
"We had done Red Dawn together, and that was not my kind of movie. It was this action movie... and it was just so, so stressful. All the guys were being just a guys' club, they were pulling pranks. I was just young and scared and a fish out of water, because that's just not my kind of thing," Grey recalled of the 1984 film. "By the time we got to do Dirty Dancing and they wanted to bring him in, I said, 'Oh god, no. I just spent three months with the guy. He's pulling pranks on me.'"
That all changed when Swayze came in for a dance screen test, though.
"It was just crazy. It was like, 'Oh, there's nobody else,'" she said. "He and I always liked each other. It wasn't like we didn't like each other. We might have bugged each other, we might have been annoyed by each other, we weren't natural mates and we were young... There can be a lot of heat with the wrong person, maybe even more so."
That heat between the pair made Dirty Dancing into a movie that people still love today.
"I love that it has had such a long-lasting, powerful, emotional impact on people watching it generations later, 35 years later," Grey said. "To me, no one expected anything of it. No one thought anyone would see it... I'm of course stunned and moved by the way it makes people feel."
Grey is hoping to capture a similar feeling with a new Dirty Dancing movie, which was announced back in 2020. While Grey stayed mum on details about the project, she did tease, "Baby as an adult could find herself possibly feeling similarly in a corner again, and [have to figure out] how to get herself out of the way."
"I'm not really at liberty to tease much... I'm excited," she said. "I'm excited for the challenge... To make a movie without Patrick is already an enormous challenge. It will never be that movie, and it should never try to be that movie. It will be its own movie if I have anything to do with it."
As for when fans can expect to see the film, Grey said, "It's on a track. It's more on track than it's ever been. It's more real than it's ever been."
While Grey is excited about her future and the upcoming project, penning Out of the Corner gave her a chance to look back on the life she's lived thus far. One such instance Grey discusses in the book is when, weeks before the release of Dirty Dancing, she was in a fatal car crash in Ireland with her then-boyfriend, Matthew Broderick. The crash, during which Broderick was behind the wheel, left two women dead.
"The car accident in Ireland was, I would say, top three traumas of my life, maybe top one. It's very hard to describe when you have a near-death experience and are present for the death of other people," Grey told ET. "... Being alone on a country road in the middle of nowhere with nobody else around or conscious was pretty terrifying... It led to so many other things in my life."
"I was the sole living witness, because Matthew had survived, but he was unconscious and had amnesia and was very badly injured. I thought he was dead," she added. "I didn't even know there were two other women who were tragically killed at the time. It's just something that you just don't come back from in the same way."
Grey and Broderick called it quits in 1998. The next year, Grey was set up on a blind date with Johnny Depp. The pair dated for a year and even got engaged before parting ways.
"We were young... To me, this guy was the answer to my problems. This guy was sweet, and loving, and romantic, and crazy about me, and beautiful. I was in desperate need of rebounding into something that looked and felt like 1989 Johnny Depp," she told ET. "Trust me, it was a very soft landing. It was necessary. I was bleeding out inside and this guy saved me and just made me... not feel what I was feeling."
In her book, Grey accuses Depp, who is currently in the midst of a defamation trial against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, of being "crazy jealous and paranoid." ET previously reached out to Depp for comment.
"All I can say about that trial is that it breaks my heart for everybody involved," Grey said. "I just think it's sad and I wish it was resolved and I just wish everybody well."
Another man who played a significant role in Grey's life was her dad, Joel Grey, who came out as gay in 2015 at the age of 82.
"I've always been my dad's biggest fan. As a child, he was my hero and just my everything... He's just very creatively alive, and so, as an artist, I have enormous respect for [that]," Grey said of her Oscar-winning father. "... He's never stopped just doing his thing and being who he is."
"The moment when he came out publicly as gay was, for me, pride doesn't cover it," she added. "Everyone deserves to be who they are and to own their story in the face of other people's disapproval, disdain, hatred, or violence... The idea that he waited so long to be able to be free broke my heart... but at least it happened."
Aside from her interpersonal relationships, a thing that majorly shaped Grey was undergoing two nose jobs following the release of Dirty Dancing.
"I tried not to take myself too seriously. It's really hard to take discussing a minor plastic surgery that has plagued me for over 30 years seriously," she said. "... All I wanted was to be able to explain this incredible isolated, lonely place where I couldn't seem to make a difference. There was no lack of interest, no waning attachment from this story. To be so misunderstood on a global [level], it was bizarre."
"I had to really re-examine who I thought I was, because clearly I could no longer depend on other people's opinion of me to define me," Grey added of life after the procedures. "... It is the thing that forced me to figure out who I am without anyone else's intervention or opinion or strong feelings. It just gave me a freedom. It gave me a new life that is based on what I believe to be true about myself, about who I am, and to really cut the cord of other peoples' opinion of me."
Making revelations like those is one reason Grey is thrilled to have put in the time and effort to write her memoir.
"Writing this book was definitely one of the most revelatory experiences of my life," Grey said. "It surprised me because it's my life -- I'm pretty sure I know what happened -- but it was re-examining the high and low points, and looking at it from the perspective of like maybe I don't know exactly what happened. Let me revisit it and really examine if how it had been told to me, how I had been telling it for so long, was actually true."
"Obviously, it's my story, it's my perspective, there is no imperial truth. I was really being quite rigorous with myself with vetting my answers and being curious and not attached to the original story," she added. "When you get older, you've been telling some stories for a really long time that you just assume, it becomes reflexive... It was so interesting to feel and re-experience [my past] in a different way than I had been."
Grey's memoir, Out of the Corner, is out now.

LVIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia moved to obstruct the flow of Western weapons to Ukraine by bombarding rail stations and other supply-line targets across the country while the European Union weighed whether to further punish Moscow with a ban on oil imports.
Heavy fighting also raged Wednesday at the Azovstal steel mill in Mariupol that represented the last stronghold of Ukrainian resistance in the ruined southern port city, according to the mayor. A Russian official denied that Moscow's troops were storming the plant, but the commander of the main Ukrainian military unit inside said Russian soldiers had pushed into the mill's territory.
The Russian military said it used sea- and air-launched missiles to destroy electric power facilities at five railway stations across Ukraine. Artillery and aircraft also struck troop strongholds and fuel and ammunition depots.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba accused Russia of “resorting to the missile terrorism tactics in order to spread fear across Ukraine.”
Air raid sirens sounded in cities across the country on Wednesday night, and attacks were reported near Kyiv, the capital; in Cherkasy and Dnipro in central Ukraine; and in Zaporizhzhia in the southeast. In Dnipro, authorities said a rail facility was hit. Videos on social media suggested a bridge there was attacked.
There was no immediate word on casualties or the extent of the damage.
Responding to the strikes in his nightly video address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said: “All of these crimes will be answered, legally and quite practically – on the battlefield.”
The flurry of attacks comes as Russia prepares to celebrate Victory Day on May 9, marking the Soviet Union’s defeat of Nazi Germany. The world is watching for whether Russian President Vladimir Putin will use the occasion to declare a victory in Ukraine or expand what he calls the “special military operation.”
A declaration of all-out war would allow Putin to introduce martial law and mobilize reservists to make up for significant troop losses.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed the speculation as “nonsense.”
Meanwhile, Belarus, which Russia used as a staging ground for its invasion, announced the start of military exercises Wednesday. A top Ukrainian official said the country will be ready to act if Belarus joins the fighting.
The attacks on rail infrastructure were meant to disrupt the delivery of Western weapons, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu complained that the West is “stuffing Ukraine with weapons.”
A senior U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the Pentagon's assessment, said that while the Russians have tried to hit critical infrastructure around the western city of Lviv, specifically targeting railroads, there has been “no appreciable impact” on Ukraine’s effort to resupply its forces. Lviv, close to the Polish border, has been a major gateway for NATO-supplied weapons.
Weaponry pouring into Ukraine helped its forces thwart Russia’s initial drive to seize Kyiv and seems certain to play a central role in the growing battle for the Donbas, the eastern industrial region that Moscow now says is its main objective.
Ukraine has urged the West to ramp up the supply of weapons ahead of that potentially decisive clash.
In addition to supplying weapons to Ukraine, Europe and the U.S. have sought to punish Moscow with sanctions. The EU's top official called on the 27-nation bloc on Wednesday to ban Russian oil imports, a crucial source of revenue.
“We will make sure that we phase out Russian oil in an orderly fashion, in a way that allows us and our partners to secure alternative supply routes and minimizes the impact on global markets,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France.
The proposal needs unanimous approval from EU countries and is likely to be the subject of fierce debate. Hungary and Slovakia have already said they won't take part in any oil sanctions. They could be granted an exemption.
The EU is also talking about a possible embargo on Russian natural gas. The bloc has already approved a cutoff of coal imports.
Russia’s economy is heavily dependent on oil and natural gas exports.
In Mariupol, Mayor Vadym Boychenko said that Russian forces were targeting the already shattered Azovstal plant with heavy artillery, tanks, aircraft, warships and “heavy bombs that pierce concrete 3 to 5 meters thick.”
“Our brave guys are defending this fortress, but it is very difficult,” he said.
Ukrainian fighters said Tuesday that Russian forces had begun storming the plant. But the Kremlin denied it. “There is no assault," Peskov said.
Denys Prokopenko, commander of the Ukrainian Azov regiment that's defending the plant, said Russian forces got into the plant's territory.
Prokopenko said in a video that the incursions continued for a second day, “and there are heavy, bloody battles.”
“The situation is extremely difficult, but in spite of everything, we continue to carry out the order to hold the defense,” he added.
His wife, Kateryna Prokopenko, told The Associated Press: “We don’t want them to die. They won’t surrender. They are waiting for the bravest countries to evacuate them."
Meanwhile, the United Nations announced that more than 300 civilians were evacuated Wednesday from Mariupol and other nearby communities. The evacuees arrived in Zaporizhzhia, about 140 miles (230 kilometers) to the northwest, where they were receiving humanitarian assistance.
Over the weekend, more than 100 people — including women, the elderly and 17 children — were evacuated from the plant during a cease-fire in an operation overseen by the U.N. and the Red Cross. But the attacks on the plant soon resumed.
The Russian government said on the Telegram messaging app that it would open another evacuation corridor from the plant during certain hours on Thursday through Saturday. But there was no immediate confirmation of those arrangements from other parties, and many previous such assurances from the Kremlin have fallen through, with the Ukrainians blaming continued fighting by the Russians.
It was unclear how many Ukrainian fighters were still inside, but the Russians put the number at about 2,000 in recent weeks, and 500 were reported to be wounded. A few hundred civilians also remained there, the Ukrainian side said.
Mariupol, and the plant in particular, have come to symbolize the misery inflicted by the war. The Russians have pulverized most of the city in a two-month siege that has trapped civilians with little food, water, medicine or heat.
The city's fall would deprive Ukraine of a vital port, allow Russia to establish a land corridor to the Crimean Peninsula, which it seized from Ukraine in 2014, and free up troops to fight elsewhere in the Donbas.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — One contender thinks West Virginia voters will see the value of federal spending on badly needed infrastructure in one of the nation's poorest regions. The other is betting that loyalty to former President Donald Trump will matter more.
The May 10 primary in West Virginia's 2nd Congressional District between Republican Reps. Alex Mooney and David McKinley will be a barometer of Trump's clout in a state that wholeheartedly embraced him in two presidential elections.
The two incumbents were pitted against each other after population losses cost West Virginia a U.S. House seat. The divergent paths they've chosen as congressmen could give Republican candidates nationally an early sense of what resonates with hardcore conservative voters in 2022.
The contest comes during an intensifying stretch of the midterm election season as Trump aims to solidify his influence over the GOP. His preferred candidate in this week's Ohio Republican primary, JD Vance, easily dispatched other rivals, but potentially tougher tests for the former president lie ahead this month in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia.
Enthusiasm for Trump remains high in West Virginia, where he prevailed in every single county in 2016 and 2020, winning more than two-thirds of the state's voters. But West Virginians are also desperate to see upgrades in a state that consistently ranks among the worst in the nation for infrastructure. The state's rugged landscape is rife with failing bridges and crumbling roads, and thousands of its citizens live without access to safe drinking water or internet.
Trump has made his position clear, endorsing Mooney on the day President Joe Biden signed the infrastructure bill into law. He's repeatedly condemned McKinley and 12 other House Republicans for voting with the Democrats for Biden’s $1.2 trillion infrastructure law, saying, “Republicans who voted for Democrat longevity should be ashamed of themselves.”
Mooney, a 50-year-old former Maryland state senator who moved to West Virginia to run for Congress in 2014 and is West Virginia’s first Hispanic congressman, has doubled down on Trump's attacks. He called McKinley a RINO, or “Republican in Name Only,” and a sellout who betrayed his constituents. But the 75-year-old McKinley, a seventh-generation West Virginian and a civil engineer by trade, says the state’s infrastructure problems are too severe for anyone to be “playing party politics.”
“There’s no question that was the right vote," he said, noting the state's “D” infrastructure grade from the American Society of Civil Engineers. “West Virginia was rated last. Any commonsense, reasonable person would say, ‘You got a problem, fix it.' I think it would have been a betrayal to do otherwise."
The infrastructure vote earned McKinley the endorsement of Republican Gov. Jim Justice, a fervent Trump supporter who said his infrastructure vote took "courage,” as well as other government officials vying for infrastructure improvements, some of which are starting to take shape on the ground in West Virginia.
Paul Howe, president of the Clarksburg Water Board in Harrison County in northern West Virginia, called McKinley's infrastructure bill vote “tremendous” and said his community desperately needs to replace lead service lines.
In July, the municipal water system was placed under an administrative order by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency after three children were diagnosed with high lead blood levels. A subsequent study found that 4,000 customers have lead service lines. Replacing them would cost an estimated $52 million or more — a large burden on any small city.
Howe said McKinley worked with city officials to provide residents with bottled water and filters and complete an engineering study on replacing the lines. The congressman has traveled to Clarksburg repeatedly to tour the water plant and strategize about how to apply for infrastructure money.
Howe said he likes both congressmen, but given the circumstances, Mooney's attacks on McKinley for his infrastructure vote helped make the choice clear.
“It’s hard to defend that,” he said. “If the government can do one thing right, it’s reinvest in infrastructure."
Still, many of the infrastructure improvements that are expected to take place over the next few years won't be visible to West Virginians right away. Meanwhile, Trump's popularity in the state remains palpable.
“If you drive through West Virginia today, you’d think the (2020) election is still going on," Mooney said in an interview. "There’s Trump flags everywhere. Trump signs — anti-Biden signs. It means a lot to voters."
Voter Ron Howell, a manager for a lumber company from Buckhannon, said his decision to support Mooney is “50% Trump” and 50% McKinley’s decision to vote with Democrats.
“He supported President Donald Trump, whom I voted for and would again in a heartbeat,” he said. “I feel like McKinley is a RINO and supports much of the left’s agenda, and I don’t want that for my state.”
During their time representing West Virginia in Congress during Trump's last two years of presidency, Mooney and McKinley voted together 87% of the time. But Mooney says there's a consistent pattern of McKinley voting with Democrats on big votes, including his support for the creation of a commission to investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
In Harrison County, where Clarksburg is, 20-year-old Drew Harbert said he thinks that will lose McKinley more voters than supporting infrastructure.
“I don't think people take it very kindly that he voted for that,” said Harbert, a Fairmont State University student and president of the Harrison County Young Republicans. “I think that will definitely hurt McKinley probably more than anything else that he’s done.”
Harbert said he knows infrastructure repairs are needed in the state, but said he has serious concerns about the rising national debt and believes it was irresponsible for McKinley to vote for a bill with such a big price tag.
Harbert said Trump's endorsement bolstered his decision to back Mooney, but it was far from the only reason. He wanted a candidate who will defend gun owners’ rights. McKinley has supported red-flag laws, which permit law enforcement or family members to petition a court to remove firearms from someone who presents a possible danger to themselves or others.
McKinley, who says he voted with Trump over 90% of the time when he was in office, said he believes Mooney has misled voters about his vote on the infrastructure bill. He cited a Mooney campaign ad that attacks him for “backing Biden for a trillion-dollar spending spree," but mentions infrastructure only in printed text.
Howell, the lumber company manager, said he thought McKinley voted for Biden's Build Back Better plan — a proposal McKinley vehemently opposed — and initially cited that vote as a reason for supporting Mooney. After doing more research on McKinley's voting record, he said the congressman voted the way he would have most of the time. But he said he couldn't forgive McKinley for his Jan. 6 and infrastructure votes.
“I wish we were in different times and I could be nonpartisan, but the Democrats have made that impossible," he said.
Nate Orders, a bridge-building contractor who is president of the Contractors Association of West Virginia, said there’s a lot of hypocrisy in criticisms of the infrastructure bill and the Republicans who voted for it. Trump supporters were on board with infrastructure spending when the former president introduced his $2 trillion proposal, which Democrats blocked.
“If Alex Mooney wins, it’s another sign that our democracy continues down the road to dysfunction, where all that matters is party politics,” he said. “If David McKinley wins, it shows me a little bit of hope that even though we can agree or disagree on some big issues, we can also agree on the things that really make a difference to Americans.”

SEATTLE (AP) — Raúl Ruidíaz scored on a deflected shot late in the first half, added a second goal off a perfect counter attack in the 80th minute and the Seattle Sounders beat Pumas 3-0 on Wednesday night to win the CONCACAF Champions League title.
The Sounders became the first team from Major League Soccer to claim the championship of club teams in North and Central America and the Caribbean since the current format was adopted in 2008. Seattle was the fifth MLS team to reach the final and the first to finish the task.
Nicolas Lodeiro added a final punctuation in the 88th minute with his third goal of the final after he scored both Seattle goals on penalty kicks in the first leg last week in Mexico City when the sides played to a 2-2 draw. The title earned Seattle a spot in the FIFA Club World Cup and added to an already filled trophy case that includes U.S. Open Cup titles, a MLS Supporters' Shield and two MLS Cup titles.
Officially, Seattle won the two-leg final 5-2. But with away goals not a tiebreaker in the final, whoever won the second leg in Seattle outright would be the champion.
Ruidíaz provided Seattle the lead in the 45th minute. His shot inside the penalty area deflected off Pumas’ forward Diogo and caught goalkeeper Alfredo Talavera moving the wrong direction. It set off a celebration with most of the record crowd of 68,761 cheering wildly enough to give Lumen Field a shake.
The second goal was even better. Precise passes from Jordan Morris to Lodeiro and then Ruidíaz left the striker in perfect position to beat Talavera.
Lodeiro’s goal just added to the party and the 3-0 win was the largest margin of victory in any CCL final match.
The sides were even at 2-2 after a wild first leg. Pumas took a 2-0 lead thanks to a pair of goals from Juan Dinenno, the top scorer in the tournament. Seattle rallied behind two penalty kick goals from Lodeiro to draw level and simplify the second leg. The second of Lodeiro’s two goals in Mexico City came in the ninth minute of stoppage time.
But Dinenno was mostly quiet in the second leg. His best chance was a free kick midway through the second half that missed the net. Seattle goalkeeper Stefan Frei made a terrific save on Diogo’s free header in the 65th minute.
Frei was named the overall player of the tournament.
Seattle managed to finish where Real Salt Lake (2011), Montreal (2015), Toronto (2018) and LAFC (2020) fell short in the past as MLS teams that reached the final. Real Salt Lake and Montreal both returned home after pulling off draws on the road against LigaMX opponents, only to be defeated on their home turf.
Seattle finished the tournament unbeaten in all eight matches of the knockout stage and went 2-0-2 against LigaMX clubs after beating out Leon in the quarterfinals.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The oldest son of former President Donald Trump has met with the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The interview Tuesday with Donald Trump Jr. comes as the bipartisan House committee moves closer to the former president’s inner circle of family members and political advisers.
The younger Trump is of likely interest to the committee because of his proximity to his father on the day of the riot. Donald Trump Jr. was seen backstage at the rally on the White House Ellipse that took place shortly before supporters of the then-president marched to the Capitol and breached the building.
In several social media videos posted at the time of the Jan. 6 attack, Trump Jr. was seen with Kimberly Guilfoyle — then his girlfriend, now his fiancee — and other members of his family as his father prepared to make a speech that investigators believed rallied supporters to act violently that day.
The House committee has also released text messages from Jan. 6 in which Trump Jr. pleaded with the White House to get his father to forcefully condemn the riot.
“We need an Oval address. He has to lead now. It has gone too far and gotten out of hand,” Trump Jr. wrote to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.
Trump Jr. is one of nearly 1,000 witnesses the committee has interviewed as it works to compile a record of the worst attack on the Capitol in more than two centuries. He is the second of Trump’s children known to speak to the committee; sister Ivanka Trump sat down with lawmakers for eight hours in early April. Her husband, Jared Kushner, has also been interviewed by the committee.
Other allies of the former president have defied subpoenas from the committee and been referred to the Justice Department for potential prosecution on contempt of Congress charges. One of them, Stephen Bannon, was indicted last year after he refused to cooperate. That case is pending.
The committee of seven Democrats and two Republicans is looking to wrap up its nearly 11-month investigation and shift into the public hearing phase. Hearings are set to begin June 9 and go on for four weeks. Lawmakers expect to bring out witnesses and present evidence in an effort to educate the public on the full scope of the attack and Donald Trump’s role in it.
Trump Jr. is no stranger to congressional investigations, having testified at least three times in House and Senate investigations of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
The two people who confirmed Trump Jr.’s interview with the Jan. 6 committee were granted anonymity to discuss the private session, which was not announced by the committee.

The debate on whether the Government should authorise a coal mine in Whitehaven rumbles on and as the deadline looms for the final verdict, a top steel boss has called the arguments of supporters into question.
West Cumbria Mining’s application to build a coking coal mine dubbed the Woodhouse Colliery was initially approved in 2020 but backlash against the decision led the Government to call-in the plans. A public inquiry followed in 2021 involving the applicant’s legal team, politicians, members of the public and opposition groups – Friends of the Earth and South Lakes Action on Climate Change.
The Department for Levelling-Up, Housing and Communities will now issue approval or refusal by July 7. Supporters of the mine say that domestic metallurgical coal for steel production would cut the UK’s reliance on foreign nations for the product.

But Chris McDonald, chief executive of the Materials Processing Institute, has said the argument that the mine would slash exports from abroad “doesn’t stack up.” Speaking to the Observer, he said: “There’s a frustration hearing other industries speaking on behalf of the steel industry when the steel industry itself has not come out to say that it wants this mine.
“I would contend that there isn’t a demand for it. The case for the mine has been built around the need for coking coal produced in the UK for the UK steel industry.” He said that this is the case of the coal industry but it “doesn’t stack up with the needs of the steel industry.”
Mayor of Copeland Mike Starkie spoke in support of the plans at the contentious public inquiry in 2021. He said: “The West Cumbria Mining project is an important new, export led industrial project.
“It is a significant employer and new skills opportunity for Copeland and West Cumbria at this extremely challenging and difficult time. It will supply the domestic and European steel industry with high quality metallurgical coal.”
In April Mr Starkie wrote to Levelling-Up boss Michael Gove, urging him to approve the mine. He said that it is urgent given the War in Ukraine as Britain currently exports 1.6 million metric tons of coal from Russia.
In a visit to Workington last week, leader of the Labour Party Kier Starmer said that a new coal mine “isn’t the way forward” for job generation in Cumbria. "The really good new generation jobs in tech and digital, they’re all in nuclear, renewables. What I would say it, let’s grasp those opportunities," he added.
Copeland Conservatives have hit back at Sir Keir over his comments opposing the mine.
Andy Pratt, Chairman of Copeland Conservative Association said: “We are disappointed – but not surprised – that Sir Keir Starmer, Leader of the Labour Party, has used his visit to West Cumbria to speak out against the Woodhouse Colliery mine in Whitehaven. Copeland Conservatives are 100 per cent supportive of this development. It will bring significant investment into our area, providing well-paid jobs and opportunities both at the mine directly – during construction and operation – and in the supply chain.
“Furthermore, by accessing a homegrown source of coking coal for the steel-making industry, it will reduce our reliance on imported coal and the damaging environmental impact this has.” | https://www.lancs.live/news/local-news/whitehaven-coal-mine-latest-deadline-23860880 | 2022-05-05T05:07:48Z | https://www.lancs.live/news/local-news/whitehaven-coal-mine-latest-deadline-23860880 | false |

Today in History
Today is Thursday, May 5, the 125th day of 2022. There are 240 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On May 5, 1961, astronaut Alan B. Shepard Jr. became America’s first space traveler as he made a 15-minute suborbital flight aboard Mercury capsule Freedom 7.
On this date:
In 1494, during his second voyage to the Western Hemisphere, Christopher Columbus landed in Jamaica.
In 1821, Napoleon Bonaparte, 51, died in exile on the island of St. Helena.
In 1925, schoolteacher John T. Scopes was charged in Tennessee with violating a state law that prohibited teaching the theory of evolution. (Scopes was found guilty, but his conviction was later set aside.)
In 1942, wartime sugar rationing began in the United States.
In 1945, in the only fatal attack of its kind during World War II, a Japanese balloon bomb exploded on Gearhart Mountain in Oregon, killing the pregnant wife of a minister and five children. Denmark and the Netherlands were liberated as a German surrender went into effect.
In 1973, Secretariat won the Kentucky Derby, the first of his Triple Crown victories.
In 1981, Irish Republican Army hunger-striker Bobby Sands died at the Maze Prison in Northern Ireland on his 66th day without food.
In 1994, Singapore caned American teenager Michael Fay for vandalism, a day after the sentence was reduced from six lashes to four in response to an appeal by President Bill Clinton.
In 2009, Texas health officials confirmed the first death of a U.S. resident with swine flu.
In 2014, a narrowly divided Supreme Court upheld Christian prayers at the start of local council meetings.
In 2016, former Los Angeles trash collector Lonnie Franklin Jr. was convicted of 10 counts of murder in the “Grim Sleeper” serial killings that targeted poor, young Black women over two decades.
In 2020, Tyson Foods said it would resume limited operation of its huge pork processing plant in Waterloo, Iowa, with enhanced safety measures, more than two weeks after closing the facility because of a coronavirus outbreak among workers. Facebook said it had removed several accounts and pages linked to QAnon, taking action for the first time against the far-right conspiracy theory circulated among Trump supporters.
Ten years ago: Five Guantanamo Bay prisoners, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (HAH’-leed shayk moh-HAH’-mehd), the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, were arraigned in a proceeding that dragged on for 13 hours due to stalling tactics by the defendants.
Five years ago: President Donald Trump signed his first piece of major legislation, a $1 trillion spending bill to keep the government operating through September. The Labor Department reported a burst of hiring in April 2017 as employers added 211,000 jobs, more than double the weak showing in March.
One year ago: A federal judge in Washington ruled that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention exceeded its authority when it imposed a national eviction moratorium. (The moratorium would remain in place during a Justice Department appeal; it was allowed to expire at the end of July.) The Biden administration joined calls for lifting patent protections on COVID-19 vaccines to help poor parts of the world get more doses. Four months after Facebook suspended the accounts of former President Donald Trump, the company’s quasi-independent oversight board upheld the bans, but told Facebook to specify how long they would last. Peloton recalled about 125,000 treadmills; the Tread+ treadmills had been linked to the death of one child and injuries to 29 others. A government report said the U.S. birth rate had fallen by 4% in 2021, the largest single-year decrease in nearly 50 years.

CHICAGO (AP) — Lucas Giolito struck out 10, Luis Robert made a game-saving catch and Matt Foster worked out of a major jam Wednesday night as the Chicago White Sox beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 at Wrigley Field.
José Abreu and Leury García homered for the White Sox, who overcame an early 3-1 deficit.
Giolito (1-1) reached double digits in strikeouts for the 14th time since joining the White Sox in 2017. He allowed three hits in 5 2/3 innings, including home runs by Nico Hoerner and Patrick Wisdom in the second.
After issuing a walk to Ian Happ, the right-hander was pulled in favor of Reynaldo Lopez.
Willson Contreras ripped a drive to deep center field, where Robert sprinted to make the grab before his left shoulder crashed into the brick wall. Robert laid on the warning track for several seconds before trotting off the field under his own power.
“Well, he’s strong, but he’s not as strong as that brick wall out there,” White Sox manager Tony La Russa said. “He kept saying he’s OK. He hit himself pretty hard.”
The Cubs, held to three hits through seven innings, put the potential tying and go-ahead runs on base with no outs in the eighth. Foster relieved Aaron Bummer and retired the next three batters, punctuated by a called third strike on Happ.
Liam Hendricks pitched the ninth for his seventh save.
“That’s the kind of win that makes us feel good, especially coming off of last night,” Giolito said. “That was a big one, and this one — trending in the right direction. Unbelievable effort from everybody.”
The White Sox (11-13) swept the two-game series against their intercity rivals and stretched their winning streak to three. The Cubs (10-14) lost for the fifth time in six games.
Abreu staked the White Sox to a 1-0 lead with his third homer in the first inning off Kyle Hendricks (1-3). Abreu’s homer was his 12th in 38 games against the Cubs, and he improved his career batting average against Hendricks to .600 (15 for 25) with two home runs and six RBIs.
The White Sox beat the Cubs’ shift to score the tying and go-ahead runs. Gavin Sheets poked a single through a wide gap on the left side to score Robert in the fourth, and AJ Pollock hit a bloop single to shallow right field that eluded second baseman Nick Madrigal to score Abreu in the sixth.
Pollock was 3 for 34 since returning from the 10-day injured list before hitting his single, but he grounded into a double play to end the eighth.
García homered to center in the third.
Cubs rookie Seiya Suzuki went hitless in four at-bats and is mired in a 1-for-23 slump with eight strikeouts.
“That’s a pretty frustrating (loss),” Hendricks said. “I thought we played pretty well, made some good plays out there, put together great at-bats. We had some chances there late. We just hit balls right at guys.”
ROTATION ROUNDUP
Johnny Cueto threw 3 2/3 innings and 74 pitches in his third start for Triple-A Charlotte at Gwinnett. La Russa intimated Cueto could join the rotation shortly.
TRAINER’S ROOM
White Sox: LF Andrew Vaughn (bruised right hand) is headed to the 10-day injured list. ... 3B Jake Burger (left knee soreness) could return this weekend, La Russa said. … 3B Yoan Moncada (right oblique strain) and RHP Joe Kelly (right biceps) could return Monday when the White Sox open a seven-game homestand.
Cubs: LHP Wade Miley (left elbow inflammation) will start Thursday for Triple-A Iowa on a rehab assignment. … INF David Bote (left shoulder) fielded grounders and is scheduled to take live batting practice this weekend.
UP NEXT
White Sox: RHP Vince Velasquez (1-2, 4.58 ERA) will face the Boston Red Sox in Friday’s series opener. Velasquez pitched 5 2/3 innings Monday in a 4-0 win over the Angels.
Cubs: LHP Drew Smyly (1-2, 2.79) is scheduled to pitch Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers if he returns from the bereavement list. Smyly allowed two runs in 4 2/3 innings of a 5-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves on April 28.

LAS VEGAS, N.M. (AP) — Firefighters slowed the advance of the largest wildfire in the U.S. as heavy winds relented Wednesday, while President Joe Biden approved a disaster declaration that brings new financial resources to remote stretches of New Mexico devastated by fire since early April.
U.S. Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez announced the presidential disaster declaration during an evening briefing by the U.S. Forest Service about efforts to contain the sprawling wildfire in northeastern New Mexico, which has fanned out across 250 square miles (647 square kilometers) of high alpine forest and grasslands at the southern tip of the Rocky Mountains.
“It will help us do that rebuilding and it will help us with the expenses and the hardship that people are facing right now,” the congresswoman said. “We're glad it happened this quickly.”
Fire bosses said they are seizing upon an interlude of relatively calm and cool weather to keep the fire from pushing any closer to the small New Mexico city of Las Vegas and other villages scattered along the fire’s shifting fronts. Airplanes and helicopters dropped slurries of red fire retardant from the sky, as ground crews cleared timber and brush to starve the fire along crucial fronts.
Bulldozers for days have been scraping fire lines on the outskirts of Las Vegas, population 13,000, while crews have been conducting burns to clear adjacent vegetation. Aircraft dropped more fire retardant as a second line of defense along a ridge just west of town in preparation for intense winds expected over the weekend.
An estimated 15,500 homes in outlying areas and in the valleys of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains that border Las Vegas have been affected by mandatory evacuations. The tally of homes destroyed by the fire stands around 170.
The president's disaster declaration releases emergency funds to recovery efforts in three counties in northeastern New Mexico where fires still rage, as well as portions of southern New Mexico where wind-driven blazes killed two people and destroyed over 200 homes in mid-April.
The aid includes grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses and other relief programs for individuals and businesses, a statement from the White House said.
Local law enforcement officials acknowledged the physical and emotion toll of prolonged evacuations. Las Vegas Police Chief Antonio Salazar said his officers would provide “burglary patrols” of evacuated areas and help maintain order at a local Walmart as people line up to purchase supplies.
“Repopulation, that's one thing we're very interested in,” San Miguel County Sheriff Chris Lopez said. “Everybody wants to get back home.”
Dan Pearson, a fire behavior specialist with the federal government, said weather forecasters are anticipating two days of relatively light winds before the return of strong spring gales.
“Our prayers are working because we've had advantageous winds throughout the fire area today,” he said. “We'll take advantage of this fact over the next few days. ... What we can do is build resilient pockets."
The fire was contained across just 20% of its perimeter. Its flames on Wednesday were about a mile (1.6 kilometers) away from Las Vegas, where schools were closed as residents braced for possible evacuation.
Officials at Los Alamos National Laboratory were warily tracking another wildfire that crept Wednesday within about 5 miles (8 kilometers) of facilities at the U.S. national defense laboratory based in Los Alamos.
Fire crews worked to widen a road that stands between the fire and Los Alamos while clearing out underbrush and treating the area with fire retardant.
Wildfires have become a year-round threat in the drought-stricken West — moving faster and burning hotter than ever due to climate change, scientists and fire experts say. Fire officials also point to overgrown areas where vegetation can worsen wildfire conditions.
Nationally, the National Interagency Fire Center reported Wednesday that a dozen uncontained large fires have burned about 436 square miles (1,129 square kilometers) in five states.

Married At First Sight's Jackson Lonie becomes the latest reality star to get a dental makeover
Married At First Sight groom Jackson Lonie has become the latest participant to get a smile makeover following his stint on this year's series of the Channel Nine series.
Jackson, 31, took to his Instagram stories on Thursday to reveal he is in Melbourne visiting Vogue Dental Studios to get his teeth fixed.
'A few of you have been asking what I've been doing in Melbourne,' he said looking into his iPhone camera.

WASHINGTON (AP) — When the Federal Reserve raises interest rates — as it did Wednesday — the impact doesn’t stop with U.S. homebuyers paying more for mortgages or Main Street business owners facing costlier bank loans.
The fallout can be felt beyond America’s borders, hitting shopkeepers in Sri Lanka, farmers in Mozambique and families in poorer countries around the world. The impacts abroad range from higher borrowing costs to depreciating currencies.
“It will put pressure on all types of developing countries,’’ said Eric LeCompte, executive director of the Jubilee USA Network, a coalition of groups seeking to reduce global poverty.
The managing director of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva, was worried enough last month to warn the Fed and other rate-hiking central banks to stay “mindful of the spillover risks to vulnerable emerging and developing economies.’’
Citing the harsher financial conditions, the IMF recently downgraded the outlook for economic growth this year in developing and emerging market countries to 3.8%, a full percentage point below what it forecast in January.
The Fed on Wednesday raised its benchmark short-term rate by half a percentage point to its highest level since the pandemic hit two years ago, and signaled that more rate hikes will come.
The U.S. rate hikes can deliver long-distance damage in a number of ways. First, they could slow the American economy and reduce U.S. consumers’ appetite for foreign goods.
They also affect global investment: As rates rise in the U.S, safer American government and corporate bonds start looking more attractive to global investors. So they can pull money out of poor and middle-income countries and invest it in the United States. Those shifts drive up the U.S. dollar and push down currencies in the developing world.
Falling currencies can cause problems. They make it more expensive to pay for imported food and other products. That is especially worrisome at a time when supply chain bottlenecks and the war in Ukraine have already disrupted shipments of grain and fertilizer and pushed up food prices worldwide to alarming levels.
To defend their sinking currencies, central banks in developing countries are likely to raise their own rates; some have already started. That can cause economic damage: It slows growth, wipes out jobs and squeezes business borrowers. It also forces indebted governments to spend more of their budgets on interest payments and less on things like fighting COVID-19 and feeding the poor.
The IMF's Georgieva has warned that 60% of low-income countries are already in or near “debt distress’’ — an alarming threshold reached when their debt payments equal half the size of their national economies.
Despite the risks of collateral damage, the Fed is expected to raise rates several more times this year to combat resurgent inflation in the United States.
The inflationary surge is the result of an unexpectedly strong recovery from the pandemic recession of 2020, a rebound that caught businesses by surprise and forced them to scramble to find workers and supplies to meet customer demand. The result has been shortages, delays in filling orders and higher prices. In March, U.S. consumer prices rose 8.5% from a year earlier — biggest jump since 1981.
By pushing up interest rates, the Fed is hoping to pull off a so-called soft landing — raising rates just enough to slow the economy and bring inflation under control but not enough to tip the U.S. economy into another recession.
Developing countries are worried the Fed waited too long to begin its anti-inflationary campaign and will be forced to raise rates so aggressively it causes a hard landing that hurts the United States and developing countries alike.
“They would have been much better off if the Fed would have reacted more swiftly when the problem started’’ last year, said Liliana Rojas-Suarez, senior fellow at the Center for Global Development.
The Fed does not have an impressive record of engineering soft landings. The last one came in the mid-1990s under Fed Chair Alan Greenspan, an episode that ended unhappily for many developing countries.
“The U.S. was able to manage inflation well and avoid recession,’’ Rojas-Suarez said, “but at the same time created huge spillovers for emerging markets.’’ What followed was a series of financial crises — in Mexico, in Russia and eventually across much of Asia.
Robin Brooks, chief economist at the Institute of International Finance, notes that many emerging market countries are in a much stronger financial position than they were back then, or even in 2013, when Fed plans to cut back its easy money policies sent investment fleeing the developing world.
For one thing, many have beefed up their foreign currency reserves, which central banks can use to buy and support their countries’ currencies or meet foreign debt payments in a crisis. On the eve of the 1997-1998 Asian financial crisis, for instance, Thailand’s reserves were equal to 19% of its economy; now they’re at 47%, according to the institute, a trade group for global banks.
Brooks also says that rising raw materials prices are “a bit of windfall’’ for commodities exporters like oil-producing Nigeria and soybean-producing Brazil.
But some countries remain vulnerable to financial shocks. Among them are those that rely heavily on imported oil and other commodities and that have low reserves compared to what they owe other countries. At the top of Rojas-Suarez’s list of the most exposed to financial risks is Sri Lanka, which last month said it was suspending repayment of foreign debt while it works out a loan restructuring program with the IMF. Also flashing red are Tunisia, Turkey and Mozambique.
Rising U.S. interest rates don’t always spell disaster for developing world countries. If they’re climbing because the U.S. economy is strong — and businesses and consumers want loans to buy things — that means more opportunities for countries with exports to sell into the U.S. market.
But the fallout is very different when the Fed is hiking borrowing costs in a deliberate campaign to slow U.S. growth and wring inflationary pressures out of the economy.
“If higher rates are driven mainly by worries about inflation or a hawkish turn in Fed policy ... this will likely be more disruptive for emerging markets,’’ economists from the Fed and the conservative American Enterprise Institute wrote in a paper last year.
Which, worryingly, is what the Fed is doing now.
It’s another blow to countries still contending with big debts, large numbers of unvaccinated people and surging food prices.
“It’s added pressure,’’ LeCompte says, “and how much pressure can governments take?’’ | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Rising-interest-rates-in-US-will-hinder-foreign-17149306.php | 2022-05-05T05:24:49Z | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Rising-interest-rates-in-US-will-hinder-foreign-17149306.php | false |
NICE, France (AP) — Russia's military has launched a string of attacks on Ukraine's railway network, which has been vital for moving Western arms to Ukrainian forces, evacuating refugees and exporting food.
A Russian official said the aim was to disrupt Western weapons deliveries. Experts say Ukraine’s railways appeared to be largely spared at the start of the invasion because Russian planners wanted them to move their own troops and arms across captured territory. The latest strikes still seem to seek more to damage than to destroy the system.
Here's a look at the attacks, and their significance.
WHY ARE RAILWAYS SO IMPORTANT FOR UKRAINE?
The largely flat country has a vast railway network, which has proved invaluable from a military viewpoint for supplying key Western arms shipments — and has also helped in the exodus of refugees from Russian air assaults and land advances.
Western weaponry pouring into Ukraine helped its forces blunt Russia’s initial offensive. It also seems certain to play a central role in the battle for the Donbas in the east, which Moscow now says is its focus following its failure to take the capital, Kyiv.
The U.S. and other Western allies have increased weapons shipments at the urging of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu warned that Moscow will see any Western transport carrying weapons into Ukraine as a legitimate target.
The rail attacks were meant to disrupt the delivery of Western weapons, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said Wednesday.
WHAT WERE THE LATEST TARGETS?
Russian forces used sea- and air-launched precision guided missiles to destroy power facilities at five railway stations across Ukraine over the past day.
Some attacks were concentrated in and around the western city of Lviv, close to the border with Poland that has been a gateway for the NATO-supplied weapons. Lviv's mayor said the strikes damaged three power substations, knocking out electricity in parts of the city that has seen only sporadic attacks during the war and has become a haven for civilians fleeing the fighting.
HAS THE RAILWAY SYSTEM BEEN STRUCK BEFORE?
A Russian missile hit a crowded train station in eastern Ukraine last month, killing at least 52 people and wounding dozens more.
Thousands of civilians, mostly women and children fleeing the Donbas region, had gathered at the station in the town of Kramatorsk on April 8 when a missile hit.
Zelenskyy accused Russia’s military of deliberately attacking the station. Russia blamed Ukraine, saying its own forces don’t use the kind of missile that hit the station.
In late April, Russian targeted several railway junctions in the west of the country to disrupt weapons deliveries.
WHAT IS RUSSIA'S PLAN?
Russia seems to have largely spared Ukraine’s rail system at the outset of the invasion because it had planned to use it to move its own troops and arms across the country, which it had hoped to overrun quickly, military experts say.
“Now that they know they won’t be able to use it, they are striking the rail system that is likely carrying armor and reinforcements to the Ukrainians,” said retired French General Dominique Trinquand.
While Russians have been conducting precision attacks on the rail network and firing expensive missiles into its power supply lines in the past week, their goal still appears to be damaging rather than destroying the network.
“It won’t stop the Ukrainians, but it will disrupt them,” said Frank Ledwidge, a former British military intelligence officer. He said the Russians also aim to undermine Ukraine's morale.
“It's like saying, ‘Nowhere is safe’, ‘Your army can’t protect you', ‘We reign over your country at will.’”
WHAT DOES THE US SAY?
A senior U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the Pentagon’s assessment, said that while the Russians have tried to hit critical infrastructure around Lviv, specifically targeting railroads, there has been “no appreciable impact” on Ukraine’s effort to resupply its forces.
The official said it is not clear that the Russian strikes have been very accurate, and they also have not impeded efforts to get weapons into Ukraine.

Kaprizov gets hat trick as Wild thump Blues 6-2, even series
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Kirill Kaprizov had a hat trick and Joel Eriksson Ek scored twice for the Minnesota Wild, who snapped back at the St. Louis Blues with a 6-2 victory to even their first-round playoff series at one game apiece Wednesday night.
Frederic Gaudreau and Kaprizov scored on the power play for the Wild, who went 0 for 6 with the man advantage in their 4-0 defeat in Game 1 and were 1 for 9 against the Blues over three regular-season losses. The Wild beat their Central Division rival in regulation for only the third time in 16 games since the Blues won the Stanley Cup in 2019.
"It´s for sure helping to build confidence, knowing you can take the lead and run with it," Eriksson Ek said.
The Blues didn't score on Wild goalie Marc-Andre Fleury until Jordan Kyrou's rebound midway through the second on a power play. They lost defenseman Robert Bortuzzo to injury after he blocked a shot with the side of his face in the first period,
"Once you know it hit him in the head, obviously that´s really scary," St. Louis defenseman Colton Parayko said. "As a teammate and a friend, it´s tough to see. Hope he feels better."
Vladimir Tarasenko had a goal and an assist for the Blues, who host Game 3 in St. Louis on Friday night.

"You come here, get a split and go home. You´re satisfied with that," coach Craig Berube said. "It´s going to be a long series and you´ve got to battle and stay with it."
Eriksson Ek assisted on Kaprizov´s first goal, a much-needed score on the power play that gave the Wild a 3-0 lead late in the first period.
Kaprizov, the precocious Russian star who set franchise records this season with 47 goals and 108 points, made it 5-2 with a slick tap-in of Mats Zuccarello´s pass on the rush. He added an empty-netter with 7:08 left after the Blues pulled goalie Ville Husso in their last-ditch effort.
In between Kaprizov´s scores, Eriksson Ek thought he had a hat trick himself. So did the dozens who tossed their caps on the ice, but a Blues challenge for offside erased that goal.
Eriksson Ek, the 2015 first-round draft pick from Sweden who was a Selke award finalist last summer for the NHL's best defensive forward, has elevated his offense in a big way during this first season of the eight-year, $42 million contract he signed last summer.
Eriksson Ek broke Husso's scoreless streak at 69:33 when he scored on Minnesota's first on-target shot. After Bortuzzo's stick broke on a clearing attempt, Jordan Greenway grabbed the puck and - passing it right past the defenseless Bortuzzo - fed Eriksson Ek on the sweet spot of his stick for the one-timer.
Fleury smiled from the crease as he saw the whole Wild bench jump up in elation.
"Maybe a little relief to get that first goal," he said.
The Wild kept the same power-play lineup after their Game 1 struggle, and Gaudreau delivered on the first opportunity. After Justin Faulk was called for high-sticking, Husso left a juicy rebound of Jonas Brodin's slap shot out front that Gaudreau knocked in.
Near the end of the first period, with Faulk in the penalty box again for slashing, Bortuzzo either stumbled forward or intentionally went low for the block - and had Eriksson Ek's slap shot painfully ping off his face. Bortuzzo left the ice immediately and did not return.
A little later on that power play, Eriksson Ek's redirect resulted in a rebound that Kaprizov tipped off the post. With Kevin Fiala crashing hard to the net, Husso couldn't stop the puck from sliding past the goal line.
Then, just 51 seconds into the second period, Eriksson Ek gave the Wild a 4-0 lead. He stole a sloppy pass from Tarasenko that was supposed to go to Calle Rosen and deked Husso with a forehand-to-backhand dangle to poke the puck in for a glove-side goal.
The Wild were exasperated by their special teams struggles in Game 1. Though they didn't stop taking avoidable penalties - giving the Blues three power plays in the second period - they killed four of them and did a much better job of controlling the rebounds Fleury kicked out.
Fleury made 32 saves for his 91st postseason win, his first with the Wild. The Xcel Energy Center crowd, which was buzzing all night, took a break from taunting Husso with a serenade of Fleury's last name late in the game.
Bortuzzo's departure left the Blues awfully thin on the blue line. Nick Leddy was scratched with an upper-body injury he sustained but played through in Game 1. Marco Scandella has not played in the series due to a lower-body injury.
NOTES: The Wild improved to 3-13 in playoff Game 2s. They raised their record to 2-8 in home games in the four postseason series in franchise history they've had with home-ice advantage as the higher seed. ... The Blues fell to 10-2-1 on the road since the trade deadline on March 21. ... Alex Goligoski replaced Dimitry Kulikov on the third defensive pair for the Wild.

Workplace safety authorities in South Australia have elected not to prosecute a country health organisation over the death of outback nurse Gayle Woodford.
SafeWork SA said a dedicated team had conducted a comprehensive 12-month investigation to determine if the Nganampa Health Council had breached the Work Health and Safety Act in relation to the death of Mrs Woodford.
The 56-year-old had lived in Fregon, 1275km north of Adelaide, and worked at the council's local clinic in the period before she was abducted, raped and murdered in 2016.

SafeWork SA said the complexity of the investigation included seizing and critically examining over 1200 documents, obtaining statements from all witnesses and interviewing both health council staff and Mrs Woodford's killer Dudley Davey.
"Having thoroughly investigated the matter and assessed all the evidence with the Crown Solicitor's Office and after receiving advice from senior counsel, SafeWork SA determined that there was no reasonable prospect of conviction," it said in a statement on Thursday.
"Public servants operate under the prosecution guidelines of the Director of Public Prosecutions, which provides criteria for laying charges against breaches of law.
"One criterion is that charges cannot be laid if there is no reasonable prospect of success at trial.
"This was the circumstances in this matter."
SafeWork SA said its decision and its reasons had been clearly communicated to the lawyer for the Woodford family.
However, the family was reportedly disappointed and believed the decision went against findings from a coronial inquiry.
Mrs Woodford's body was found buried in a crude grave three days after she went missing from her home.
It was believed Davey, who had a significant history of violent and sexual offending and is now serving a minimum 32-year jail term, tricked her into opening a security cage around the building and overpowered her as she walked to her ambulance.
In his inquest, Deputy Coroner Anthony Schapel detailed a number of previous instances of violence or threats against NHC staff and called for a permanent police presence in Fregon.
He also found that measures adopted by NHC for the protection of nursing staff working alone at night and on-call were not adequate.
"The obvious solution for the NHC would have been to make provision for nurses to be accompanied by another person when working on-call at night and to have called for the necessary funding, a measure that took Mrs Woodford's murder to come to realisation," the coroner said.
"Mrs Woodford's death could thereby have been prevented."
After the findings were handed down last year, Mrs Woodford's husband Keith said it was important the coroner's recommendations were acted on, especially the ruling that his wife should not have been required to treat men alone and at night.
"Gayle never had a chance from day one," Mr Woodford said.
