Prince Harry returns to court in tabloid phone hacking case

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:13:42 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Prince Harry returned to a London court Tuesday for a second day of hearings to see if the phone hacking lawsuit he brought with Elton John and other celebrities can withstand a challenge from the publisher of The Daily Mail. The case is one of several brought by the Duke of Sussex in his battle with the press and alleges the publisher hired private investigators to illegally bug homes and cars and to record phone conversations. Associated Newspapers Ltd. denies the allegations and is seeking to throw out the case, arguing that the claims are too old and rely on information they turned over in confidentiality for a 2012 probe into media law breaking. Actresses Liz Hurley and Sadie Frost, and John’s husband, David Furnish, are also parties to the case.The lawsuit alleges Associated Newspapers, which publishes The Daily Mail and The Mail On Sunday, commissioned the “breaking and entry into private property,” and engaged in other unlawful acts that invaded the privacy of ...

Hundreds of fencers protest against letting Russians compete

BERLIN (AP) — More than 300 fencers, including nine medalists from the last Olympics in Tokyo, signed an open letter published Tuesday urging the sport’s governing body and the International Olympic Committee not to allow Russian fencers to compete while the war in Ukraine continues.The International Fencing Federation, known by its French acronym FIE, voted this month to allow fencers from Russia and its ally Belarus to return to international competitions as qualifying for next year’s Olympics in Paris ramps up.“The FIE is not fulfilling its duty of care for athletes, especially for Ukrainians. Your insufficient leadership in completely banning Russia and Belarus is being called out by athletes and civil society across the globe,” said the open letter signed by the fencers, organized by two advocacy groups, Athleten Deutschland and Global Athlete.“You have chosen Russian and Belarusian interests over the rights of athletes, notably Ukrainian athletes, and by doing so, ...

ANÁLISIS | Estados Unidos le falló de nuevo a sus niños: otro tiroteo escolar silenció la vida de varios este vez en Nashville

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:13:42 GMT

(CNN) — Es difícil imaginar una escena más desgarradora y típicamente estadounidense.Una cadena humana de niños, tomados de la mano, conducidos por policías, huyeron de la última escuela golpeada por una tragedia insondable. Este lunes, el turno fue de Nashville de unirse a la lista de ciudades que se han hecho famosas por una epidemia de tiroteos masivos que gran parte del país parece dispuesto a aceptar tácitamente como el precio del derecho a poseer armas de fuego de alto poder.La realidad de lo que se desarrolló en el interior de una escuela fue inhumano, pero desafortunadamente se puede imaginar dados los espantosos relatos internos que surgieron de tiroteos escolares anteriores: en Uvalde, Texas, el año pasado; o en la escuela primaria Sandy Hook en Connecticut en 2012.Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs y William Kinney, todos de nueve años, fueron asesinados a tiros por un atacante armado con dos armas estilo AR y una pistola, dos de las cuales, según la policía, fueron c...

Winter storm set to cause more downed trees, power outages, and flooding for California

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:13:42 GMT

(CNN) — A powerful winter storm system will strengthen over the Pacific, bringing damaging winds, rain, and heavy mountain snow to an already soaked California beginning Monday night.“Preceding storms have saturated soils which will result in trees coming down and the potential for more power outages,” National Weather Service San Francisco meteorologist Roger Grass told CNN.In an average winter, this type of atmospheric river storm would bring beneficial precipitation to the region. But given the unprecedented amount of rain and snow California has already received this winter, the storm will only exacerbate flooding issues, bring down weakened trees and add more snow to already record levels.Much of northern California is forecast to pick up 1-2 inches of rain, including the Bay Area, with isolated areas of higher rainfall.Though the totals may not seem very high, many locations are already experiencing their top 10 wettest Marches on record.“We still have ...

Greece to hold national election on May 21

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:13:42 GMT

ATHENS — Greece will hold a parliamentary election on May 21, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Tuesday.“The country and its citizens need clear horizons,” Mitsotakis said during a Cabinet meeting. “The national elections will be held at the end of the four-year term, as I had committed from the start. They will take place on Sunday, May 21.”The conservative New Democracy government’s four-year term expires in July.While opinion polls show Mitsotakis’ New Democracy in the lead over the main opposition left-wing Syriza party, the gap has narrowed following a rail disaster on February 28 that killed 57 people, stirring public anger. The government’s lead has narrowed to 4 percent, according to POLITICO’s Poll of Polls. The May 21 vote will take place under a new proportional representation system, making it difficult for any party to gather a majority. Two rounds of voting are likely, as Mitsotakis has repeatedly said he will try to secure a parliamentary...
