He pleaded guilty to that charge and to his involvement in the bar fight, and was given 14 days in prison and two years’ probation.He was acquitted of committing violence agai...

(CNN) — A German landlord has won the right to sunbathe naked in the courtyard of his Frankfurt building, in spite of complaints from his tenants.The landlord, who has not been named, resorted to taking legal action after a human resources company that rented premises in the building withheld payments because of his fondness for sunbathing nude in a common courtyard area, according to Frankfurt’s highest regional court.The firm, which has also not been identified, had reduced and partially withheld payments that it owed for its office space in the residential building in an upscale neighborhood of the city.It claimed the landlord would walk unclothed through the stairwell to the courtyard, so that “a resident or visitor who happened to be on the stairs at that time would be confronted with his nakedness.”But a legal team who visited the site did not find that to be the case, the court stated. “On the contrary, the plaintiff had credi...

Biden administration braces for a migrant surge when Covid-era restrictions lift

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:56:00 GMT

(CNN) — The Biden administration is bracing for a surge of migrants at the US-Mexico border when a Covid-era border restriction lifts next month, putting an issue that’s been a political vulnerability for President Joe Biden at the forefront just weeks off his 2024 campaign announcement.On May 11, when the coronavirus public health emergency ends, a Covid-era border restriction, known as Title 42, will expire, meaning border authorities will no longer be able to quickly expel certain migrants. Instead, authorities will have to return to decades-old protocols at a time of unprecedented mass migration in the Western hemisphere, raising concerns within the administration about a surge in the immediate aftermath of Title 42 lifting.It comes at a critical moment for Biden who on the heels of launching his 2024 bid will also have to navigate another potential border crisis, opening him up to attacks from Republicans who have hammered the administration and are already wielding...

(CNN) — E. Jean Carroll returned to the stand on Thursday in her civil battery and defamation trial against Donald Trump, with the columnist telling the jury about why she was suing the former president, and what had happened to her since she filed the suit.“I think rape is one of the most violent and horrible things that can happen to a woman or a man,” Carroll said.“I don’t particularly like attention because — I’m suing. Getting attention for being raped is not — It’s hard. Getting attention for making a great three-bean salad, that would be good,” she said.Carroll is suing Trump for battery and defamation, alleging that he raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the spring of 1996 and then defamed her years later when she went public with the allegations. Trump has repeatedly denied her allegations.Asked by her attorney Mike Ferrara on Thursday if she ever regrets bringing the suit, she replied: ...

Mitchell Robinson emerged as Knicks playoff weapon with dominant performance against Cavs

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:56:00 GMT

CLEVELAND — Mitchell Robinson sat back in the chair, admiring the work. Box score in hand, he whistled to emphasize the impressiveness.Catcalling his own rebounds, essentially.“Eleven offensive,” he told teammate RJ Barrett just seconds earlier, hamming it up for the assembled media.“This whole series was about getting rebounds and stuff like that,” the center added. “Whoever gets the most rebounds wins the game nine times out of 10.”That’s a bit of an exaggeration but it certainly carried round 1 against the Cavaliers. And Robinson, the 7-foot-1 pogostick, emerged as the difference maker.A breakout force.Facing two All-Defense players in Cleveland’s frontcourt, Robinson controlled the glass in a way that deflated hopes and dreams.Many strong Cavs defensive efforts died in the hands of Robinson, who grabbed nearly double the offensive rebounds (29) than anybody else in the series.Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley were utterly and emb...

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:56:00 GMT

ARLINGTON — When the Yankees broke out for their biggest offensive output of the young season Wednesday, it wasn’t just the top of the batting order doing damage.The 6 through 9 hitters in the Yankees lineup contributed five hits and scored five of the team’s 12 runs in its win over the Minnesota Twins, adding an element to the offense that’s been missing most of April.Continued production from players like Willie Calhoun, Oswaldo Cabrera and Isiah Kiner-Falefa would help lessen the blows of injuries to Giancarlo Stanton and Josh Donaldson as the Yankees try to get back to winning series, beginning with their four-game road set against the Texas Rangers.“[It’s] nice to have everyone up and down the lineup contributing,” manager Aaron Boone said following the 12-6 win in Minneapolis.The Yankees were the final MLB team to lose a series this season, having won or split each of their first six. They’ve since dropped two series in a row and...
