  • Pub clampdown means end to music and sound from TVs - but no legal ban on bar crawls

    Nicola Sturgeon has urged pub landlords and restaurateurs to refuse to serve customers who refuse to hand over contact details, but has stopped short of imposing a legal ban on bar crawls. New guidance for the hospitality industry was published on Friday, following concern over the role the reopening of the sector last month has played in the rising transmission of coronavirus in Scotland. The number of cases in an outbreak linked to bars in Aberdeen has risen to 198. Obtaining contact details from customers has now become a legal requirement, rather than advisory. Meanwhile, statutory guidance states that no music should be played in venues and TVs should be kept on mute, due to fears that customers raising their voices could help spread the virus. Previously, background music and sound from TVs had been permitted. However, while Ms Sturgeon advised people to “minimise the number of premises” they visited and said legal restrictions were being looked at, she admitted imposing strict rules on pub crawls was “not easy”. It had been suggested that restrictions on pub crawls could be brought in, following the suggestion that people visiting multiple venues had contributed to the extent of the outbreak in Aberdeen. “It is not the case that pub crawls are banned in law, right now, this is advice and guidance we're giving to customers,” the First Minister said. “We are still considering whether it would be practical to put more of a legal framework in place around the issue of pub crawls to minimise the places people go, but that is not an easy thing to do. If you can apply common sense to that it's not a straightforward thing to do.” According to the new guidance, staff in hospitality venues should challenge customers who are guilty of “loud behaviour” such as shouting or singing. On the issue of customer contact details, which are obtained to help NHS track and trace teams in the event of an outbreak, Ms Sturgeon added: “Let me make this point clear as well, particularly to members of the public: if customers refuse to provide these details, they should not be served in the place that they're trying to be served." Representatives of the sector in Scotland urged businesses to follow the new rules, with SNP ministers refusing to rule out a nationwide closure, should the link between the venues and case numbers persist. There were 65 new Covid-19 cases confirmed on Friday - the second-highest daily total since late May. However, business representatives expressed dismay at the ban on background music and sound from TVs. Colin Wilkinson, managing director of the Scottish Licensed Trade Association (SLTA), said: “We cannot underestimate the disappointment and concern for the future of the hospitality industry over the Government’s decision that there should be no background music or noise from TVs. “While the Government says that this is absolutely necessary, the views of some within the hospitality industry differ, and the SLTA, Scottish Beer and Pub Association and the Music Venue Trust are working together to provide evidence that this ban is counter-productive to what is trying to be achieved.”

  • Missing 2-year-old found in southern Mexico; returned to mom

The search for Dylan Esaú, who was led away from a market where his mother worked, led investigators in July to discover a child trafficking ring and recover 23 children, but not Dylan.

  • Oregon State Police Withdraws from Portland Courthouse after D.A. Announces He Won’t Prosecute Most Rioters

    Oregon state police are backing out of an agreement to protect the Portland federal courthouse from rioters, after the Multnomah County district attorney announced he will not prosecute most rioters who are arrested.Portland has seen riots almost every night since the May death of George Floyd, an African American man killed during his arrest by Minneapolis police officers. Rioters initially targeted the federal courthouse in the city, but after federal and state law enforcement came to an agreement to jointly protect the courthouse, rioters moved on to attack city police.Multnomah County D.A. Mike Schmidt announced on Tuesday that his office would not prosecute most rioters who have been arrested, except where charges include deliberate property damage, theft, or threat of violence. Police have arrested over 500 people since the riots began, but less than 50 have been prosecuted so far.Oregon state police told KOIN 6 on Thursday that they are ending their deployment at Portland's federal courthouse because of anger over Schmidt's decision after being called in to assist as part of the agreement reached between local authorities and the federal government.“The Oregon State Police is continually reassessing our resources and the needs of our partner agencies and at this time we are inclined to move those resources back to counties where prosecution of criminal conduct is still a priority," OSP said in a statement.Governor Kate Brown said the withdrawal was being coordinated between all relevant agencies."This transition was made in coordination with local and federal officials," Brown wrote on Twitter. "If further state support is needed in Portland, OSP troopers will be available to return to the city.""The OSP Troopers assigned to this event demonstrated the best traditions of the agency's commitment to service, however, our initial commitment to the City of Portland has concluded and it is time we integrate this valuable resource back to their respective communities," OSP said in a statement to National Review. "OSP will always be here for Portland, as we have for decades and I'll continue to assess subsequent resource demands with the Portland Police Bureau Chief, whom I have a great deal of respect for and a strong working relationship."

  • Postal workers are sounding the alarm as mail sorting machines are removed from processing facilities

    It's not just business as usual at the United States Postal Service.While President Trump is publicly saying he plans to block funding for the USPS so that Democrats can't achieve their goal of expanding mail-in voting across all states ahead of the November election, the Postal Service is also facing some internal changes.Vice News' Motherboard reported Thursday that USPS is quietly removing mail sorting machines — the very machines that are responsible for sorting ballots. There's no official explanation for the changes, and it's unclear why the machines would be removed rather than simply not used when not needed. The removals and planned removals are reportedly affecting several processing facilities across the U.S."It'll force the mail to be worked by human hands in sorting. Guarantees to STOP productivity," a Post Office source told The Washington Post's Jacqueline Alemany. "On top of cutting the overtime needed to run the machines, can you imagine the [overtime] needed to do this [the] old hard way?"Postal workers say equipment is often moved around or replaced, but not usually at such a rate, and not in such a way that would affect workers' ability to quickly process large quantities of mail. Local union officials have no idea what's going on. "I'm not sure you're going to find an answer for why," one union president told Vice, "because we haven't figured that out either."A USPS spokesperson said the move is routine. "Package volume is up, but mail volume continues to decline," said the spokesperson. "Adapting our processing infrastructure to the current volumes will ensure more efficient, cost effective operations." Since there is an expected influx of mail as Americans begin sending in ballots, postal workers urged voters not to wait until the last moment to avoid overwhelming the dwindling number of sorting machines.

Betelgeuse is classified as a red supergiant, the largest type of star.

  • I used to be critical of Kamala Harris. Now I am going to defend her at every turn

    While the announcement caught very few of us by surprise, a jolt of excitement was inserted into this election. And rightly soThe historic announcement of Kamala Harris as Joe Biden’s VP pick is another reminder that multiple things can be true at the same time. Harris is undeniably brilliant, has recently introduced bills that would specifically improve the quality of live for Black Americans, and by all accounts she is superior in every way imaginable to the current president. In fact, adding her to the ticket has made me far more enthusiastic about this race than I was even days before the announcement.Throughout this campaign, Biden has said things that made me question his understanding of the Black community, let alone his commitment to fight against social inequality. And yet, here we are, squarely seated in that space where many truths exist at once. Does Biden give me pause? Oh, absolutely. Do I believe he will be a better leader than Trump? Without a shadow of a doubt. But is that the bar? Are millions of Americans expected to capitulate to such a defeating standard from our future leaders?> While I wholeheartedly still believe in the power of voting, I’m now more committed to what I call zoning inThat question lingered in the air of every political conversation I had with my peers over the past few months. Yet with the announcement that caught very few of us by surprise, a jolt of excitement was inserted back into this election. Rightfully so. While lots of articles will focus on the historical weight of this moment, we cannot ignore that Harris isn’t just representation. She is a viable force who has the skills to be the vice-president of the United States. This will undoubtedly bring out more support for the ticket. However, here we are again, still parked at that intersection and carefully holding space for multiple facts to exist at the same time.What does this selection mean for those of us who had fair criticism of Harris when she was running for president? How do we even express this concern knowing that our policy-based questions could be conflated with the sea of misogynoir she will surely face? If Hillary Clinton faced an insane amount of hatred and sexism, what does this mean for Harris in a country where we are still fighting to declare that Black lives actually matter?I was one of the people who publicly expressed concern about Harris during her presidential campaign. A few key things have changed since then. She impressed me with her actions, and I’m hoping that this apparent pivot is what voters can expect of her. Yet more importantly than her recent actions, my politics have changed.While I wholeheartedly still believe in the power of voting, I’m now more committed to what I call zoning in. I’m narrowing the focus of my political efforts and treating voting as simply one tool for change. This change in my political view has caused me to emotionally divest more from a failing two-party system that often places its most vulnerable citizens in the position of choosing between how slowly we want to be metaphorically killed. This is my truth.Yet it is also true that I intend to vote for the Biden and Harris ticket because I believe they present a better chance at improving the lives of marginalized communities than this current administration. I will do this while increasing my efforts to organize on a local level and use every weapon at my disposal to fight for a path for justice that isn’t predicated on me choosing between the “lesser of two evils”. Simultaneously, while Harris starts to fight like hell to re-energize the Democratic base, I’ll use my position as a writer to push back on unfair attacks on her that are simply misogynoir masked as criticism. This nomination almost guarantees that valid criticism and utter hatred of Black women will be on full display, and we will have to quickly learn the difference and respond accordingly.For those currently expressing concern, I challenge you to sit with it a minute and consider if this concern was ever present for any of the other highly questionable candidates. I invite those with criticism to still express it and demand the best from Harris, but I will challenge them to interrogate the root of their angst. I intend to do the same. I’m going to stand with Harris and fight against sexist and racist attacks, celebrate with the Black women who are rejoicing in pride, while I simultaneously organize on a local level and strategize ways to help ensure my community gets more than just a false sense of hope from this ticket. All of this can happen at the same time. * Shanita Hubbard is an adjunct professor of criminal justice at Northampton Community College in Pennsylvania

  • Trump Calls Fox Business Network to Rage About ‘Mad,’ ‘Crazy,’ ‘Yapping’ Powerful Women

    Someone might remind President Donald Trump that women can actually vote in elections. In a week where Trump has already suggested it’s insulting to men for Joe Biden to pick a woman as a running mate, he’s now spent another interview raging against an array of powerful women who he says are too mean to him.The president was up early Thursday to call into Fox Business Network at 7:30 a.m. Interviewed by Maria Bartiromo, Trump was typically unfocused, contradictory, and confusing. But one thread that connected most of his answers is that he’s very angry that women in the Democratic Party and the U.S. media have the audacity to criticize or question him, and that he’d like them to be quiet.Unsurprisingly, Trump’s first target was Sen. Kamala Harris, who made history this week by being named by Biden as the first Black woman to feature on a major presidential ticket. Dismissing the ex-prosecutor as “sort of a madwoman,” he said, “She was so angry, such hatred with Justice Kavanaugh. I’ve never seen anything like it. She was the angriest of the group, and they were all angry.”Trump went on to say Harris was part of a group of “seriously ill people” who questioned Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court. In reality, Harris’ grilling of the then-Supreme Court nominee was widely praised for its forcefulness.Later in the Fox Business Network interview, Trump went after another of his favorite targets who just so happens to be a woman with power—Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). “AOC was a poor student. I won’t say where she went to school. It doesn’t matter,” said the president. He added, “This is not even a smart person.”Trump also said Ocasio-Cortez “goes out and yaps,” seemingly upset that a politician has the nerve to deliver public speeches.Next on the female hit-list was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Trump boldly predicted that the Republicans would take back the House in November because the California Democrat is “stone-cold crazy.”Just ahead of Thursday’s interview, Trump attacked another powerful woman on Twitter, describing MSNBC’s Morning Joe host Mika Brzezinski as the “ditzy airhead wife” of co-host Joe Scarborough. However, Brzezinski then used her platform to hit back at the president and noticed a trend in his attacks.According to Mediaite, on her show Thursday morning, Brzezinski said, “What’s your thing with women? You have a lot of problem with women, like you’re scared of them or something. I think the Kamala [Harris] thing has you freaked out. But I’ve noticed it’s all over the place. You get really like stressed out by women.”The host added, “You have to say things that are sort of triggering about women that are like back from the 1950s. You’re calling us ‘housewives’ when you talk about voters. Every time Kaitlyn Collins from CNN or Paula Reid from CBS... ask you a question, you scurry off the stage. You get scared like a little baby.”Fox News’ Chris Wallace: Trump Wishes Biden Had Picked Anyone But Kamala HarrisRead more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.
