The Senate is expected to issue recommendations today to end forced and coerced sterilization in Canada. The human rights commission has looked into the matter and is holding a press conference at 11am to talk about its new report. In June 2021, the same commission released a preliminary report that found “this appalling practice is not limited to the past, but clearly continues today.” The report says forced and coerced sterilization is under-reported and disproportionately affects indigenous women and other vulnerable and marginalized groups....

The four-time Olympian told a BBC documentary that he was born Hussein Abdi Kahin, brought to the UK with a woman and her children under the name of another boy called Mohamed Farah. Sir Mo said “the truth is I’m not who you think I am” as he spoke about the traumatic events of his childhood after leaving war-torn Somaliland in east Africa. A lawyer warned him that even if he was trafficked into the country as a young child and told authorities the truth, there was a “real risk” he could be stripped of his British citizenship....

Lucia Zirki Russischer Korrespondent Man-Frame öffnen Man-Frame schließen Luzia Tschirky ist SRF-Korrespondentin für Russland und die Region der ehemaligen UdSSR. SRF News: Was wissen Sie über die aktuelle Situation mit den Evakuierungen im Stahlwerk Azovstal? Luzia Tschirky: Die Evakuierung von Zivilisten aus dem Stahlwerk Mariupol soll heute Morgen fortgesetzt werden. Doch die Erfahrung zeigt, dass die Öffentlichkeit erst mit großer Verzögerung erfährt, ob dies wirklich geschehen ist. So geschehen bei der erfolgreichen Evakuierung am Wochenende mit Hilfe der UNO und des IKRK – es dauert mehrere Stunden, bis die Vertriebenen die russischen und ukrainischen Checkpoints passieren und sich in ukrainisch kontrolliertem Gebiet wiederfinden....

The letter was flown from Singapore late on Thursday, and its authenticity has now been verified. The embattled president had initially sent an email to confirm he was stepping down. Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena says a new president will be appointed “quickly and successfully” – with the process set to be completed within seven days. Mr Rajapaksa’s resignation follows months of protests sparked by anger over an economic crisis in the country....

Comment Consumer Reports has no financial relationship with any advertiser on this site. Do you often feel stiff and tight? Do you notice frequent aches and pains? There’s probably a good reason. “As we age, we lose fluid and flexibility in our joints and muscles,” says Lynn Millar, a fellow at the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). These effects of aging—along with conditions like arthritis, chronic hunching over a computer, or the repetitive motions of gardening—can make you less flexible and reduce your range of motion....

Sunak will promise “a return to traditional Conservative economic values – and that means honesty and responsibility, not fairytales.” The frontrunner was endorsed on Monday by fellow former chancellor Norman Lamont, who said Margaret Thatcher would have favoured tackling the deficit over tax cuts – and hinted at the approach Sunak could take to slashing public spending. “To weather the storm requires a high degree of competence, matched by the courage to make really tough decisions....

The study, published in the journal Nature Metabolism, adds to growing evidence that the effects of sun exposure may be more complex than first thought. Excessive exposure is known to increase the risk of skin cancer, but recent studies have shown that moderate exposure can increase life expectancy, on average, helping to protect against cardiovascular disease and other causes of death. One possibility is that it lowers blood pressure through the release of nitric oxide from the skin, a process that causes blood vessels to relax....

Rob Fleming says the project is expected to be completed by 2028, two years earlier than originally planned, and will cost $500 million less than anticipated by building the line to Langley “at once” . He says the capital cost of the link is $3.94 billion, which includes $2.4 billion from the province, $1.3 billion from the federal government and the rest coming from local government. Once complete, Fleming says it will take just 22 minutes to travel from Langley to King George Station in Surrey, and just over an hour to get from Langley to downtown Vancouver....

Vkusno i Tochka – which translates as Tasty and That’s It – reportedly said it made changes due to a lack of the right kind of potato. It comes just weeks after the fast food chain reopened more than a dozen former McDonald’s restaurants in Russia under a new brand, after the last one pulled out of the country due to the invasion of Ukraine. The logo has been updated to a red circle and two yellow lines, meant to represent a beef patty and fries....

Last month, it was discovered that the 256GB model of the 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 chip has up to 50% slower SSD read speeds and up to 30% slower SSD write speeds compared to the previous generation model in benchmarks. The quandary stems from the fact that Apple switched to using a single 256GB flash storage chip instead of two 128GB chips in the entry-level models of the new MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro....

Comment LONDON — In the race to become the next leader of the Conservative Party, and then the next British prime minister, there’s a Rishi, Suella and Kemi — running against a Tom, Penny and Liz — to replace a Boris. The Tory leadership contenders are the most ethnically diverse in British history — though not so ideologically. It is a matter of pride and bragging rights from centre-right Conservative leaders, who seem almost giddy that their field is more different than previous clashes within the opposition Labor Party, a centre-left movement that seeks to represent Britain’s minorities....

“At least three current candidates would be worse than Boris,” he argued. “At least one is crazier than Truss, clearly unfit to be anywhere near nuclear codes. At least one a spad sh—–. Chances of improvement dangerously close to 50:50!”. He later added: “Sorry, correction, I was told by Cabinet ‘at least 2 spad sh—–s’!” It would be very Westminster for Boris to accept the bullet of lies about sex/searching and SW1’s inability to deal with it, only to be replaced by someone who will really piss him off!...

There is now a 90 per cent chance the UK will set a record temperature this week and a 60 per cent chance it will reach 40C, according to the Met Office’s Becky Mitchell. London and other parts of south-east England are under a red alert for extreme heat on Monday and Tuesday, with highs forecast to reach 41C in some places. The previous UK record temperature of 38.7C was set in Cambridge in 2019....

Scientists say the variant – called BA.2.75 – may be able to spread quickly and overcome immunity from vaccines and previous infection. It is unclear whether it could cause more severe disease than other omicron variants, including the globally prominent BA.5. “It’s still too early to draw too many conclusions,” said Matthew Binicker, director of clinical virology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. “But it seems that, especially in India, the transmission rates are kind of showing that exponential growth....

Labour’s deputy leader said: “We believe Boris Johnson cannot stay in Downing Street for a single minute. He has proven to be unfit to govern and so the Conservative Party needs to elect someone to lead their party very quickly or get an interim leader because he is not someone who has been disgraced, who has lost the confidence of his party, how rather the British public. “If they don’t, we are very clear that we will table a motion of no confidence before the summer holidays [July 21] to ensure that this exchange happens and that the Conservative Party does the right thing by the British public, which it has not done, frankly, in recent months....

Police found the victim while responding to reports of “disturbance” in an apartment building early Sunday morning, the Vancouver Police Department said in a press release on Monday. The woman succumbed to her injuries on the spot, near Ontario Street and First Avenue. Her death marked the third homicide of the city of the year. A 51-year-old man was detained but was not charged. Authorities said they believed the suspect and the victim knew each other....
