Trump pleads not guilty in Georgia election subversion case and says he’ll skip next week’s hearing

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:35:10 GMT

ATLANTA (AP) — Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty on Thursday and said he’ll skip a hearing next week in the case accusing him and others of illegally trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee had set arraignment hearings for Trump and the 18 others charged in the case for Sept. 6. A court filing waiving arraignment means Trump won’t have to show up for that.The decision to skip an in-person appearance averts the dramatic arraignments that have accompanied the three other criminal cases Trump faces, in which the Republican former president has been forced amid tight security into a courtroom and entered “not guilty” pleas before crowds of spectators. Georgia courts have fairly permissive rules on news cameras in the courtroom, and this step means Trump won’t have to enter a plea on television.Trump and 18 others were charged earlier this month in a 41-count indictment that outlines an alle...

CRYSTAL RIVER, Fla. (WSVN) — Hurricane Idalia, the first major hurricane to hit Florida’s Big Bend in over 100 years, left a deadly path of destruction after downing trees and flooding homes as the sea surged onto shore. The Category 3 storm slammed into Florida on Wednesday, wreaking havoc on communities along the coast and cutting power to hundreds of thousands of people throughout the state.In Crystal River, businesses and homes were left damaged on Thursday. As residents pick up the pieces of their community, officials said the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Idalia may be unrecognizable. “I was quite the storm.

As the storm continued to thrash communities up the coast into Georgia and the Carolinas overnight into Thursday mo...

Barbie and Oppenheimer don’t live up to our values, Russia says

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:35:10 GMT

Western blockbuster movies fly in the face of Russian values and aren’t worth showing in the country’s cinemas, Moscow’s Ministry of Culture has insisted, amid calls for the government to allow bootleg screenings in spite of a Hollywood embargo. The vice-speaker of Russia’s parliament, Vladislav Davankov, wrote to officials asking them to launch a pilot scheme where theaters could show popular new releases, including Barbie and Oppenheimer, even if studios have refused to license them in the country.However, in a response seen by state news agency TASS on Thursday, Deputy Culture Minister Andrei Malyshev rejected the appeal based on his choice of movies.“We believe that the films you have proposed for viewing by the citizens of our country — Barbie and Oppenheimer — do not meet the aims and objectives set out by the head of state, to preserve and strengthen traditional Russian spiritual and moral values,” he said.It’s not the first time that...

Macron slams two-term limit on French presidency as ‘damnable bullshit’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:35:10 GMT

PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron slammed the two-term constitutional limit that means he must step down in 2027 as “damnable bullshit” in comments at a meeting with party leaders on Wednesday.According to the far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Macron said it was “damnable bullshit that one could not be reelected,” words that were also confirmed to the AFP news agency by two participants. In France, presidents cannot be elected for more than two five-year terms, which means Macron is set to become the country’s youngest former president, aged only 49. The deadline has raised questions over whether the French president’s power is already waning as his allies and supporters start looking ahead to a future without him at the helm.Macron was first elected in 2017 and was reelected in 2022, following a presidential campaign overshadowed by Russia’s war in Ukraine. Macron reportedly expressed his frustration at France’s rules at a meeting he called with party lea...

Long COVID brain fog may be caused by blood clots, say scientists 

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:35:10 GMT

LONDON — Answers for patients suffering from long COVID-19 symptoms are finally starting to trickle in, with new research indicating that blood clots may result in longer-term cognitive problems. A study published Thursday in Nature Medicine looked at more than 1,800 adults who were hospitalized with COVID-19 and found raised levels of two proteins during their COVID-19 infection — fibrinogen and D-dimer. Both these proteins are involved in blood clotting. The research also found that presence of these clotting biomarkers during a patient’s hospital stay was linked to ongoing cognitive problems six and 12 months after infection with COVID-19, leading the researchers to believe there may be a causal link between blood clots and long COVID.”I feel optimistic that the science is beginning to give us real insights into what the causes [of long COVID] are and then the potential treatments,” said Chris Brightling, professor of respiratory medicine at the University of Leicester...
