Honduran president faces call to resign as video scandal intensifies

TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) - A leading anti-corruption activist called on Honduran President Xiomara Castro on Wednesday to resign after a video surfaced that appeared to show her brother-in-law negotiating campaign donations with drug traffickers over a decade ago.The video emerged a week after the leftist Castro ordered an end to an extradition treaty with the United States, which was used to take her conservative predecessor to face trial in New York where he was convicted on charges stemming from large-scale cocaine trafficking.In a letter to Castro posted on social media, Gabriela Castellanos, the head of the National Anti-Corruption Council, argued the president should resign due to "serious drug trafficking accusations brought against (your) family circle."If Castro stays on, it would undermine the rule of law and security in the Central American nation, she added. Her letter did not provide evidence of […]

Half of Americans think at least one room in their home is unsalvageable

Half of Americans have at least one room in their home that they believe is unsalvageable with clutter, according to new research. When asked about their perspective on the space in their homes, a survey of 2,000 adults found that there just isn’t enough. A third of respondents feel cramped in their homes (34%), especially those who live in apartments (39%). While 69% of Americans are satisfied with the space in their home, nearly a fifth (17%) aren’t. A majority of those who are unhappy with the room in their home said they knew space was an issue to begin with, revealing that they settled for their home knowing it wasn’t ideal (73%). On the other hand, one in five of those respondents were initially okay with the amount of space. Conducted by Talker Research for The Container Store, the […]

Schoolboy chased for 30km and shot dead by ‘cow protection’ vigilantes in India

An 18-year-old schoolboy was shot and killed by so-called cow protection vigilantes in India after they chased him for miles over suspicion of being involved in cattle smuggling.The incident took place in Faridabad in the northern Indian state of Haryana on 23 August, days after a migrant worker was beaten to death by another cow vigilante group in the state’s Charkhi Dadri district over suspicion of consuming beef.Cows are considered sacred and worshipped by many Hindus, the religion that makes up a large majority of India’s population. Cow vigilante groups are accused of enforcing, often violently, Indian laws banning cattle slaughter and beef consumption.Scores of cow “protectors” in recent years have been accused of using violence to carry out extra-judicial activities, often finding themselves at odds with law enforcement. Yet their activities have also received a degree of public support […]

Putin’s visit to Mongolia defies ICC warrant and tests neutral nation’s ‘third neighbor’ diplomacy

Vladimir Putin arrived in Mongolia on Sept. 2, the first time the Russian president has visited an International Criminal Court (ICC) member country since the body issued a warrant for his arrest in 2023. While officially commemorating a Soviet-Mongolian military victory in World War II, Putin’s visit will test the small central Asian country’s policy of neutrality and the reach of international institutions.Mongolia, a country of just 3.3 million people but with huge geographical territory, has long navigated its foreign policy in the shadow of Russia and China, with whom it has extensive historical and economic ties.The country has attempted to bolster its independence from its more powerful neighbors by developing cordial relations with so-called third neighbor countries that include the United States, Germany, Japan and South Korea.Through this approach, Mongolia has attempted to carve out a niche on the […]

Legal Minds Nail Trump After Fox News ‘Confession’

Donald Trump on Sunday tried to defend himself from the criminal charges he’s facing in the election interference case ― but experts say it sounded more like a confession.Trump on Fox News bragged that his poll numbers go up every time he’s indicted.“Whoever heard, you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election, where you have every right to do it, you get indicted, and your poll numbers go up,” he said.Trump is facing charges in multiple jurisdictions and cases, including election interference in a criminal case filed in federal court in Washington. Last week, he was re-indicted to comply with directions from the Supreme Court, which in July ruled that Trump was immune from prosecution for “official acts.”On Sunday, however, Trump flat out said he had “every right” to have been “interfering” with the election.Lawmakers, former prosecutors, attorneys and […]

September Is an Important Month for Social Security. Here’s Why.

Millions of older Americans receive a monthly Social Security benefit. And for many, that income is essential to covering their ongoing costs.The good news is that each year, Social Security benefits are eligible for a cost-of-living adjustment that's tied to inflation. And if you're someone who relies on your monthly benefits heavily, you may be eager to know what cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) you'll be eligible for in 2025.Image source: Getty Images.Unfortunately, we don't have that information just yet. But this month, we'll get a lot closer to narrowing down a 2025 COLA.September's data is the last missing piece of the puzzleAnnual Social Security COLAs are calculated based on inflation data from July, August, and September -- specifically, the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). If there's a rise in the CPI-W during the third quarter […]
