A judge has denied a motion by former President Trump seeking to stymie Fulton County DA Fani Willis' probe into efforts to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results. In another blow to former President Donald Trump's efforts to stymie Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' investigation into his conduct after the 2020 presidential election , a judge on Monday denied a motion filed in March by Trump's legal team seeking to disqualify Willis and quash the findings of a special grand jury convened to review evidence in the matter. In his ruling, Judge Robert McBurney wrote that Trump's legal argument was "insufficient because, while being the subject (or even target) of a highly publicized criminal investigation is likely an unwelcome and unpleasant experience, no court ever has held that that status alone provides a basis for the courts to interfere with or halt the investigations." McBurney's denial marks the latest in a series of leg...

Poland's lawmakers have voted to approve an amended but divisive law on Russian influences believed to be targeting the opposition and criticized by the U.S. and the European Union WARSAW, Poland -- Poland’s lawmakers voted Friday to approve an amended but divisive law on Russian i NFL uences believed to be targeting the opposition and criticized by the U.S. and the European Union. The law was proposed in May by Poland's ruling right-wing Law and Justice party and critics see it as primarily targeting opposition leader and former Prime Minister Donald Tusk, before a parliamentary election scheduled for this fall. Following criticism, President Andrzej Duda proposed urgent amendments to tone it down. The lower house, or Sejm, voted 235-214 with four abstentions to reject the Senate’s veto to the draft law amended by Duda. It only now requires Duda's signature to take effect. The amended bill calls for a commission to check whether between 2007 and 2022 politicians have ...

Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino has urged the club to continue the clear out the first-team squad and to allow him to bring 'balance' back to the side. The Blues used a staggering 33 players during their infamous 2022/23 season, finishing a lowly 12th in the Premier League table. To make amends, Chelsea have already sold 13 senior players during the summer transfer window, though as this figure also includes some who were out on loan last season and others have since returned, Pochettino still has a bloated squad to contend with. Speaking ahead of their pre-season friendly with Brighton in the US, Pochettino insisted his roster still needs trimming. "You need 23,24, max 25, keeper included. We don't need 30 to 35 players. We need to be right in how we choose profile and balance is most important," Pochettino said. "Sometimes you get the balance with less than more. It's not that you cannot manage, the problem is players who are not going to play,...

The idea of putting solar panels on top of the world's thousands of miles of irrigation canals has long seemed like a good one Back in 2015, California's dry earth was crunching under a fourth year of drought. Then-Governor Jerry Brown ordered an unprecedented 25% reduction in home water use. Farmers, who use the most water, volunteered too to avoid deeper, mandatory cuts. Brown also set a goal for the state to get half its energy from renewable sources, with climate change bearing down. Yet when Jordan Harris and Robin Raj went knocking on doors with an idea that addresses both water loss and climate pollution — installing solar panels over irrigation canals — they couldn't get anyone to commit. Fast forward eight years. With devastating heat, record-breaking wildfire, looming crisis on the Colorado River, a growing commitment to fighting climate change, and a little bit of movement-building, their company Solar AquaGrid and partners are preparing to break ground on the ...

Pele reached heights few can even begin to imagine but he described playing in America as "the best thing I did in my life". After months of negotiations and weeks of speculation, Lionel Messi has followed in the Brazilian icon's footsteps after finally completing his much-anticipated move to Inter Miami player on Monday - just in time for the MLS All-Star game against last season's Premier League runners-up Arsenal. The Golden Ball winner at the winter World Cup has to immediately be considered the league's ultimate All-Star - especially when he would be vying with the likes of Christian Benteke for a spot in the front line.
