A police officer and a protester were both seriously injured in clashes that erupted during an unauthorised demonstration in opposition to the construction of a water reservoir in western France for farm irrigation.To repel protesters who were hurling fireworks and other projectiles while crossing fields to reach the Sainte-Soline construction site, police used tear gas. Television footage showed that at least three police cars were set on fire.Emmanuelle Dubee (prefect of the region) stated that at least 6,000 people had participated in the march. This defied a ban on protests at a site where a similar demonstration took place last October.Gerald Darmanin, Interior Minister, stated that one officer and one protestor were in critical condition. He added that their lives were not at risk.Darmanin said that seven protestors were hurt and that 24 officers were also injured. Darmanin blamed the violence on approximately 1,000 far-left activists. He said that disturbances had begun in ne...Doing justice to history, a powerful call in Brussels for recognition of the 1971 Bangladesh genocide

In Bangladesh, March 25 is marked as Genocide Day, the anniversary of the start of the Pakistani army’s brutal campaign of suppression in 1971 that claimed some three million lives. There is now a powerful campaign for international recognition that the mass murders, rapes and torture were an act of genocide against the Bengali people. It took an important step forward in Brussels on this year’s anniversary, with a special event organised by the Bangladesh Embassy, writes Political Editor Nick Powell.The Bangladesh genocide was one of the worst such events in human history. The killings, rapes and other atrocities became widely known at the time, with widespread popular support around the world in 1971 for the struggle for freedom of the people of what was then East Pakistan. Yet, just as governments at the time were slow to recognise the democratic legitimacy of a free...Delta passenger opens door, deploys emergency exit slide on plane at California airport

A lawsuit filed by the family of a New Jersey man who died while riding a Vail Ski Resort chairlift has been settled.Jason Varnish died on Feb. 13, 2020, while riding a Blue Sky Basin chairlift. Varnish, who was 46 at the time, is survived by three children, according to a news release from the Burg Simpson Law Firm, which represented the Varnish family.“This was an unnecessary and preventable tragedy,” said attorney Peter Burg. “Jason Varnish was a truly remarkable human being whose death leaves a gaping hole in the hearts of his family and friends.”The seat of the chair Varnish boarded was set upright, against the backrest of the chair, the release said. A rubber bumper attached to the frame, covered when the seat is down, caught Varnish’s jacket, entangling the jacket and lifting Varnish off his feet as the chair rose.Varnish hung from the chair, about 70 feet from the load line and 10 feet in the air, for more than 8 minutes, the release said. Hanging by the jacket “constricted ...Ask Amy: I doubt he remembers his drunken call, but I’m disturbed by it

Dear Amy: I have a good friend from college who I’ve kept in touch with for decades. He lives in another part of the country, and I see him every few years.He’s had a lot of challenges in life. I’ve always been a good friend to him, and really care about him. We share a lot of laughs.Unfortunately, he is an alcoholic.His daughter once told my husband and me not to confront him about his drinking because he will get defensive.The last time we saw him, he kept his drinking in check and we had a great visit.The problem is, he regularly “drinks and dials.”I don’t pick up if he calls in the evening. He sometimes leaves slurring, rambling voicemails for me. I will call him back a few days later during the day when he is sober.He recently left a particularly drunken voicemail, and I haven’t called him back. I doubt he even remembers leaving the message. He’s called a few times since and hasn’t left a message.I’ve never confronted him about his drinking, ...Point Reyes tule elk herds recover after die-off during drought

Tule elk herds in the Point Reyes National Seashore rebounded this winter following a significant die-off during the drought, according to new National Park Service data.The seashore, which is the only park in the country with tule elk, has three herds. The largest, located in a fenced reserve on Tomales Point, increased from 221 elk in 2021 to 262 elk, an increase of nearly 19%.The Limantour herd, which is one of two free-roaming herds, increased from 151 elk to 170 from 2021 to 2022. Park staff said they were unable to conduct a count of the other free-roaming herd, the Drakes Beach herd, this winter because of weather conditions and staffing limitations.“National Park Service wildlife staff are instead tracking elk numbers from the Limantour herd within active ranching areas of the park for comparison to prior years and checking cow groups in the Phillip Burton Wilderness for a qualitative sense of calf production in 2022,” park official Melanie Gunn said.The park’s management of...Wealthy?

Remember being thrust into that Salvador Dali painting? Aisle after aisle of empty store shelves melting into bleak oblivion … finger paintings cracking in abandoned classrooms … blue industrial gloves in the supermarket …We knew squat about the new virus sweeping the planet three years ago. Our hopes for normalcy — nay, for survival! — hung on the development of new vaccines to keep the beast at bay. In a stunning triumph, science delivered. But millions, to this day, refuse the needle — a refusal that researchers say has resulted in hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the California Department of Public Health reveal a disturbing, if predictable, pattern: Vaccination status goes hand-in-hand with education and income, in near lock-step.More modest Southern California is vastly less-vaccinated than wealthier Northern California, with perhaps a slight under-performance by Santa Clara County.This would all be a numbers game except for one...Latest news
