LONDON — The U.K. government is taking legal action to avoid handing over sensitive material — including Boris Johnson’s WhatsApps — to the public inquiry into its handling of the coronavirus pandemic.The Cabinet Office announced Thursday that it is seeking a judicial review of the COVID-19 inquiry’s demands for Johnson’s notebooks, diaries and un-redacted WhatsApp messages with advisers and ministers.It means a High Court judge will be asked to decide whether the inquiry has overreached its legal powers in demanding the evidence.The action is an attempt by ministers to avoid submitting all the material the inquiry’s chair Heather Hallett has asked for. It includes messages Johnson exchanged with senior figures such as Rishi Sunak and Cabinet Secretary Simon Case during the pandemic.It comes after a 10-day stand-off between the Cabinet Office — which has resisted the demands for the material on the basis it’s irrelevant to the inquiry’s remit — and Hallett, who says it is her ...Qatargate suspect Eva Kaili wants to get out of town (for work)

ATHENS — Free from house arrest, Eva Kaili now also wants to travel.Days after Belgian prosecutors announced she was no longer under house arrest and her electronic tag was removed, Kaili’s legal team is seeking to eliminate restrictions on being able to move freely beyond Belgium. “Legal proceedings have been initiated to abolish the restrictive conditions, especially the ban on exiting the country,” her lawyers Sven Mary and Michalis Dimitrakopoulos said in a joint statement.The EU lawmaker wants the travel restrictions to be lifted as she wishes to attend the next plenary session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg mid-June, Dimitrakopoulos said.On Friday, the attorneys had said that “the restrictive condition of the ban on leaving Belgium, which was imposed, does not upset her, since Kaili will return to Greece only after her judicial vindication.”Despite pledges to return to work, Kaili did not attend Thursday’s session of the European Parliament “due to a personal o...Lawyer arrested in connection with sexual assaults in Boston 15 years ago waives extradition

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey man suspected in a series of sexual assaults in Boston that took place about 15 years ago agreed to waive extradition back to Massachusetts during his initial court appearance.Matthew J. Nilo, 35, who is a lawyer, was arrested Tuesday at his Weehawken home and briefly appeared Thursday in state Superior Court in Jersey City. Jeff Garrigan, the attorney representing him at the hearing, told WABC-TV in New York that Nilo would plead not guilty and fight the charges.Nilo is charged with three counts of aggravated rape, two counts of kidnapping and single counts of assault with attempt to rape and indecent assault and battery in connection with the assaults in Boston’s Charlestown neighborhood in 2007 and 2008. Nilo lived in Boston at the time, authorities have said.It was not immediately clear when Nilo would be brought back to Massachusetts or when his next court hearing would be held.Nilo was identified as a suspect with the h...NASA team studying unidentified phenomena shares preliminary update

(CNN) — A team of 16 experts and scientists assembled by NASA aims to publish its first report on unidentified anomalous phenomena, also known as unidentified flying objects, or UFOS, by midsummer.“Unidentified anomalous phenomena has truly captured the attention of the public, of the scientific community and nowadays, the US government as well, and we at NASA strongly believe that it’s our responsibility all working together to investigate these with the scientific scrutiny that NASA is well known for,” said Dan Evans, assistant deputy associate administrator for research, NASA’s Science Mission Directorate.“We’ve tasked (the team) with helping NASA produce a roadmap, a roadmap that doesn’t necessarily look back at previous grainy footage, sort of acknowledges that many UAPs historically we’ll never be able to get to the bottom because the data are of such poor quality,” Evans said on Wednesday.“We’re trying to assess whether those phenomena pose any risks to safety and we’re ...Stumped for a dad or grad gift?

Just in case you needed to hear it again, Tom Brady says he is retired for good.Brady called it a career — for a second time — on Feb. 1, 2023 and doesn’t expect to touch the playing field ever again.“I’m certain I’m not playing again,” Brady told Sports Illustrated Thursday as rumors have swirled about a possible comeback. “So, I’ve tried to make that clear and I hate to continue to profess that because I’ve already told people that lots of times, but I’m looking forward to my broadcasting job at Fox next year, I’m looking forward to the opportunity ahead with the Raiders and we’re in the process of that along with the other different things that I’m a part of professionally and in my personal life — just spending as much time with my kids as I can.”The 45-year-old agreed to a 10-year, $375 million broadcasting deal with Fox in May 2022 that was supposed to kick into place immediately af...Brad Stevens views Jaylen Brown in Celtics’ future as extension talks loom: ‘He’s a big part of us’

Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens can’t speak about contracts publicly yet but he made one thing clear on Thursday at the Auerbach Center: He wants Jaylen Brown to stay in Boston.Brown earned an All-NBA second team selection this season, which means that beginning on July 1, the Celtics have the opportunity to lock in their star to a five-year supermax extension worth about $295 million, which would start in the 2024-25 season. Asked if he would offer that extension, Stevens couldn’t answer directly but expressed his commitment to the two-time All-Star who he once coached.“I’ve had nothing but great conversations with Jaylen, but we can’t talk about all that stuff,” Stevens said. “I’m not allowed to talk about A, the contract details, let alone the extension because it’s not of that time right now. His window is between July 1 and October or whatever it is. But I can say without a doubt, we want Jaylen to be here and he’s a big par...Somerville woman charged with assaulting her own mother, who was found dead in suspect’s apartment
