Who is Maria Arena, the 4th MEP caught up in Qatargate?

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 17:30:10 GMT

BRUSSELS — And then there were four. Belgian lawmaker Maria Arena became the fourth current member of the European Parliament this week to be fully embroiled in the Qatargate corruption scandal, seven months after a spate of high-profile arrests shook the EU to its core.She remains unquestioned, uncharged and the Belgian authorities have made no request to lift her parliamentary immunity. But police did conduct six raids at properties linked to the Belgian MEP and her family on Wednesday, in the latest twist in a scandal that prompted soul-searching and ethics reforms in the EU capital this year. Former Vice President and Greek MEP Eva Kaili, Belgian MEP Marc Tarabella and Italian MEP Andrea Cozzolino have spent time detained and charged in the scandal, while Pier Antonio Panzeri, an ex-MEP, admitted his guilt and struck a plea bargain in return for a reduced sentence when the time comes.Arena and the four current or former lawmakers charged in the scandal built their...

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 17:30:10 GMT

PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron sacked Education Minister Pap Ndiaye and Health Minister François Braun in a small cabinet reshuffle Thursday, after confirming earlier this week that Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne would stay on in her role.  A long-time Macron supporter, 34-year-old Gabriel Attal, has been promoted to replace Ndiaye, and Aurélien Rousseau, Borne’s former chief of staff, takes over as health minister.Other party figures are also joining government ranks, including Aurore Bergé, leader of Macron’s Renaissance group in the National Assembly, who is taking over as the new solidarity minister. Thomas Cazenave will replace Attal as budget minister.The reshuffle has been described by French government officials as “adjustments” to government after the Elysée announced Macron was keeping Borne in the job. In the new line-up, the most embattled ministers were let go, while Macron loyalists were rewarded.Marlène Schiappa, who was junior minister for social econo...

Vegas-area home searched in Tupac Shakur’s 1996 killing is tied to uncle of long-dead suspect

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 17:30:10 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A home that Las Vegas police searched this week in connection with the 1996 drive-by shooting of Tupac Shakur is tied to a man long known to investigators, whose nephew had emerged as a suspect shortly after the rapper’s killing.The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department confirmed it served a search warrant Monday in the neighboring city of Henderson. But the department hasn’t released other details, including whether they expect to make an arrest for the first time in the slaying of the rapper nearly 30 years ago.Residents of a suburban small Henderson neighborhood — nestled in the foothills of the city about 20 miles southeast of the Las Vegas Strip — identified the property where they said they saw officers detain two people while investigators searched the home Monday night.“There were cruisers and SWAT vehicles. They had lights shining on the house,” said Don Sansouci, 61, who had just gone to bed with his wife when a swirl of blue and r...

UPS pilots vow to not cross strike picket lines

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 17:30:10 GMT

(CNN) — The union representing pilots flying cargo planes for UPS say they will not cross picket lines if Teamsters strike next month, a spokesperson for the Independent Pilots Association confirmed to CNN.The union representing 3,400 pilots has vowed solidarity “by not ‘turning an aircraft wheel’ on behalf of the company,” which could spell even deeper disruptions for the worldwide shipper. The heads of the two unions say in letters to each other that their support proved pivotal during a previous Teamsters strike in 1997.“The IPA is committed to exercising our contractual rights, both domestically and internationally, to honor any potential IBT strike and act in sympathy with our fellow workers at UPS by not working,” said pilot union head Captain Robert Travis. “No one wants a work stoppage, but should a legal IBT strike be initiated, you and the IBT can count on the IPA for support.”This does not mean UPS pilots are going on strike, rather there will be a work stoppage...

As temperatures rise, mosquitoes are also on the move. Scientists worry that could mean more malaria

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 17:30:10 GMT

By MARY KATHERINE WILDEMAN (Associated Press)As the planet warms, mosquitoes are slowly migrating upward. The temperature range where malaria-carrying mosquitoes thrive is rising in elevation. Researchers have found evidence of the phenomenon from the tropical highlands of South America to the mountainous, populous regions of eastern Africa. Scientists now worry people living in areas once inhospitable to the insects, including the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro and the mountains of eastern Ethiopia, could be newly exposed to the disease. “As it gets warmer at higher altitudes with climate change and all of these other environmental changes, then mosquitoes can survive higher up the mountain,” said Manisha Kulkarni, a professor and researcher studying malaria in sub-Saharan Africa at the University of Ottawa.  ___EDITOR’S NOTE: This story is part of a collaboration between The Associated Press and Grist exploring the intersection of climate change and infectious d...

Getting to know Jean Tatlock: Was she Oppenheimer’s ‘truest love’ or the first casualty of his ambition to build the atomic bomb?

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 17:30:10 GMT

When the blockbuster movie “Oppenheimer” opens July 21, audiences will be introduced to Jean Tatlock, one of the most remarkable people to know and love the UC Berkeley physicist, who arguably should be as famous as “The Father of the Atomic Bomb.”The thumbnail version of Tatlock’s life is that she was J. Robert Oppenheimer’s troubled mistress. She also may have been his “truest love,” but her activism in the Bay Area Communist Party in the 1930s threatened his career, both when he was the science director at the top-secret laboratory in Los Alamos, and in the 1950s, when anti-Communist fervor was at its heights and he endured a humiliating grilling by the Atomic Energy Commission and loss of his security clearance.Tatlock, a Stanford-trained psychiatrist, died tragically by suicide at the age of 29 – some seven months after Oppenheimer drew the alarm of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover by flying back to San Francisco in June 1943 to meet her and spend one final night with her in her Te...
