The City of West Kelowna was right to discipline an employee accused of watching pornography at work, the BC Labor Council recently ruled. According to an arbitration ruling last month, the 57-year-old parks and maintenance operator was accused by two 19-year-old co-workers of watching porn on his lunch break on Aug. 17, 2021. Accused worker AG — a four-year employee who is married with children and has no prior disciplinary record — flatly denied the allegations and filed a grievance through his union after receiving a written warning from the city’s HR representative about the incident....

But for the woman dubbed Las Vegas’ “black widow,” the real story is a botched trial, crooked cops and a 20-year prison and parole stint that ended only when her murder conviction was dramatically overturned in May. Now free after two decades inside the Florence McClure Correctional Center for Women in North Las Vegas, Margaret Rudin, 79, says she plans to write a series of books about her time inside and will move to Mexico for a fresh start once she gets a passport....

The American men swept the medals in the 100 meters at the World Athletics Championships on Saturday night. Fred Curley was the Olympic gold medalist, Marvin Bracey who was off the hook. Kerley’s time was 9.86 seconds and Bracey’s time was 9.88 seconds. The Bronze Medalist was Trayvon Bromell in 9.88 seconds (judges went to milliseconds to decide second and third; Bracy scored 9.874 to 9.876 for Bromell). Three gold medals were awarded in Saturday’s evening session, and the Americans took two of them: Chase Ealy won the women’s shot put just before the 100....

Denzil Minan-Wong, a City Council member since 1998, announced the news in a July 13 memo to Ward 16 residents, Mayor John Tory and his colleagues. “Although a difficult decision in many ways, I believe it is time to move on to the next stage of my life,” wrote Minnan-Wong, who has served as Deputy Mayor since 2014.

Current President Andrés Manuel López Obrador confirmed the death Saturday on his Twitter account and sent condolences to Echeverria’s family and friends “in the name of the government of Mexico,” but did not express any personal sadness about the death.

“I am entering the plea voluntarily, there was no coercion,” Anthony Singh Dheensaw told the courtroom, appearing virtually from jail. In Victoria, a small courtroom was filled with friends and family of Angela Dalman, who broke down in tears as soon as she heard the guilty verdict. The 40-year-old single mother was murdered outside a gathering on Friday 6 March 2020 in Langford. After firing two shots, Dheenshaw fled the scene in a car, but was arrested by police the next morning....

Les coureurs “méritent un peu plus d’attention et de respect”, a-t-il réagi, interrogé par l’AFP. “Je ne comprends même pas pourquoi on se pose la question. Si on avait affaire à des animaux, on ne se poserait pas la question de les mettre dans de bonnes conditions”, a-t-il ajouté, rappelant que l’abreuvement des rues mobilise un nombre limité de l’eau. Cette technique est utilisée depuis plusieurs décennies pour éviter les plaques de goudron fondu qui pourraient être dangereuses pour la course....

UV levels are expected to peak at a “very high” level of eight for the next three days, with the midday sun at its strongest. This is the highest level of UV radiation typically achieved in the UK. The Met Office said people should “avoid being outside during lunchtime” and that wearing a sun hat and sun cream is “essential”. Greg Dewhurst, senior meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “Our advice is – if you can avoid the midday sun at this time of year, it’s preferable to avoid getting burnt – but if you have to be in the sun for any period of time, then it’s a good idea to try to stay in the shade or wear a high-factor sunscreen....

The pandemic pushed 3.8 million people into poverty, and 44 percent of Mexicans are now destitute, a 4 percent increase from before Covid-19. Mexico is the only major Latin American economy whose output will still be below pre-pandemic levels by the end of this year, according to JP Morgan estimates. As a result, citizens are leaving in droves. Immigration to America from Mexico declined between 2009 and 2019, with more Mexicans leaving the United States than arriving, but once the pandemic hit, that changed....

The pictures show three Russian cosmonauts holding up the flags of two regions of eastern Ukraine seized by Russian military forces – prompting the US space agency to issue a “strong rebuke”. The stunt was described as “fundamentally inconsistent with the station’s primary mission among the 15 international participating countries to advance science and develop technology for peaceful purposes” by NASA. Despite the growing conflict on the ground between Washington and Moscow, cooperation in low Earth orbit has largely continued with little challenge from the US to its Russian partners – although the chief executive of Roscosmos has repeatedly threatened to withdraw the cooperation....
