Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 14:37:35 GMT

ORLANDO, Florida (WESH) — A former teacher at an Orlando Christian school is facing charges, including sexual activity with a 16 or 17-year-old by a school authority figure, after being accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student for years.The former teacher, Harriet Sugg, has also been named in a civil suit brought by the victim, as has The First Academy and The First Baptist Church of Orlando.The victim came forward to police in 2022 when she was in her twenties.In September 2014, Harriet Sugg spoke with students about “overcoming childhood sexual abuse and same sex attraction” according to an arrest warrant.The victim said she had a similar experience and began speaking with Sugg as a sort of mentor.“She did exactly what she was supposed to do, and in return, you have a teacher who violated her in the worst possible way,” said Andrea Lewis, an attorney representing the former student in a civil lawsuit filed earlier this month.R...

Uber and unions face off over EU gig work law

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 14:37:35 GMT

BRUSSELS — Brussels’ European Quarter is the epicenter this week of a lobbying fight between ride-sharing platform Uber and the drivers that do its legwork.Groups from Belgium, Spain, France and Austria that say they represent drivers and riders are amassing on the doorsteps of the European institutions at Schuman at 6 p.m. on Wednesday evening. One hour later, top negotiators will kick off critical negotiations nearby to hash out key details of a law that could end up determining Uber’s future across the Continent.The European Union is finalizing a law on gig work aimed at ensuring delivery drivers and on-demand chauffeurs get better social protections against the power of the online platforms they work for. At the heart of the political fight is the question of whether Uber’s drivers and riders should be considered employees or freelance contractors — a decision that could weaken Uber’s business model in Europe after it has largely dodged labor rights that ...

Shakespeare portrait sent to edge of space to celebrate 400 years since ‘First Folio’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 14:37:35 GMT

(CNN) — William Shakespeare’s influence over the world remains unwavering more than four centuries after the renowned dramatist began his career.To mark the continued resonance of the famed playwright’s words 400 years after the publication of his “First Folio” on November 8, 1623, British filmmaker Jack Jewers has sent a portrait of Shakespeare along with a speech from one of his best-known works to the edge of space.Around 1,000 copies of the folio, originally published as “Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories & Tragedies,” were printed seven years after his death. The volume of more than 900 pages included a collection of 36 plays. Without it, 18 plays, including “Macbeth,” would have been lost, according to Reuters.Attached to a weather balloon, with a camera and GPS tracker, the portrait, accompanied by a speech from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” was taken to Earth’s upper atmosphere, according to a press release from inVerse Films.

Why the Chicago Bulls don’t start Alex Caruso, despite the veteran guard’s stabilizing effect when he’s on the court

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 14:37:35 GMT

Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan already shook up his starting lineup this season when he replaced Patrick Williams with Torrey Craig after only five games.As the Bulls attempt to claw out of a 3-5 hole, Donovan has considered another personnel question: Should Alex Caruso be starting as well?Caruso has been one of the Bulls’ most consistent players since he signed with them in 2021. He’s a first-team All-Defensive selection, a poised offensive distributor and a vocal leader who offers as much instruction as any coach.This has been a particularly strong start to the season for Caruso, who’s averaging 6.4 points on 54.3% shooting — including 80% inside the 3-point arc. He’s averaging 1.4 steals despite playing only 22.6 minutes per game. And when he checks into the game, the Bulls visibly settle down, a reflection of both his poise as a leader and his nullifying effect as a defender.So why does he come off the bench?For Caruso, the question isn’t ...

Israel pressured by allies over plight of civilians in Gaza as thousands flee enclave’s north

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 14:37:35 GMT

By NAJIB JOBAIN and SAMY MAGDY (Associated Press)KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel faced pressure from some of its closest allies Wednesday over the plight of civilians in Gaza, where thousands streamed on foot out of the enclave’s north because of dwindling food and water and fear of approaching Israeli forces.Over 70% of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million have already left their homes, but the number making their way south has quickened recently as Israeli troops battle Hamas inside Gaza City and the humanitarian situation grows increasingly dire. Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, Canada and the European Union.The Group of Seven wealthy nations announced a unified stance on the Israel-Hamas war after intensive meetings in Tokyo, condemning Hamas and supporting Israel’s right to self-defense. But the group also called Wednesday for the “unimpeded” delivery of food, water, medicine and fuel, and for “humanitarian pauses” in the fighting.Is...

Democrats won big on abortion rights Tuesday. Here’s what the results say for the US going into 2024

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 14:37:35 GMT

By NICHOLAS RICCARDI (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats had plenty of good news to celebrate in Tuesday’s off-year elections and more evidence that they can win races centered on the national debate over abortion.Abortion rights supporters won an Ohio ballot measure and the Democratic governor of beet-red Kentucky held onto his office by campaigning on reproductive rights and painting his opponent as extremist. A Democrat won an open seat on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court after campaigning on his pledge to uphold abortion rights. And Democrats took full control of the Virginia statehouse, blocking Republicans from being able to pass new abortion restrictions and delivering a defeat to Gov. Glenn Youngkin that may douse any buzz about a late entry into the GOP presidential primary.The victories won’t be enough to make Democrats feel secure heading into next year’s presidential election. The off-year elections have major implications in all of those ...

Parents of a terminally ill baby lose UK legal battle to bring her home

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 14:37:35 GMT

LONDON (AP) — A judge at Britain’s High Court ruled Wednesday that life support for a terminally ill 8-month-old baby should be withdrawn in a hospice or hospital, despite efforts by the infant’s parents and the Italian government to transport her to Italy for further treatment.The parents of baby Indi Gregory, who has a rare metabolic disorder known as mitochondrial disease, have fought legal battles in a bid to continue life support for their child. But a judge has ruled that doctors can lawfully limit life-supporting invasive treatment, because continuing with the treatment would not be in the child’s best interests.The legal tussle is the latest in a series of similar cases in Britain that saw doctors and parents spar over the treatment of terminally ill children and the respective rights and responsibilities of parents and medical professionals.In a written ruling, Justice Robert Peel said he accepted the evidence of medical specialists at the Queen’s Me...
