Ms Begum, who became a jihadist bride in Syria, was later branded a “threat to national security” and stripped of her British citizenship by the home secretary, a move upheld by the High Court. Since the fall of the so-called Islamic State caliphate, Ms Begum has been living in a Syrian detention camp and now plans to use the allegation of an official cover-up in her upcoming appeal against the decision to strip her of her British citizenship....

We have one marginal risk for severe thunderstorms later this afternoonand it all depends on how the rest of today plays out here around Metro Detroit. A weak disturbance moving in overnight still brings a few showers and thunderstorms early this morning and could slow you down for that Monday morning commute. These showers won’t last long and should be gone by 8am as we try to clean up. We may face more problems if the skies clear this morning and afternoon....

The drugs are widely prescribed to prevent heart disease, but there have been concerns for years that they may often cause muscle pain or weakness. Now a study presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Barcelona and published in the Lancet effectively debunks that belief. “The idea that statins might cause frequent muscle pain has been a persistent belief among some patients and clinicians. However, our study confirms that a statin is rarely the cause of muscle pain in those taking statins,” said Professor Colin Baigent, Director of the Medical Research Council’s Population Health Research Unit at the University of Oxford and joint lead author of of study....

Washington — The Justice Department filed a 36-page response late Tuesday night to former President Donald Trump’s request that a federal judge appoint a third party to review records seized from his Florida residence. The government alleges “obstructive conduct” occurred at Mar-a-Lago after Trump’s legal team allegedly tried to withhold or remove certain records from investigators in the months leading up to the Aug. 8 investigation. In the filing, federal prosecutors argued that Trump’s request for a special master to review records seized in the probe “fails for multiple, independent reasons” and accused the former president of making “wide-ranging baseless allegations” against the administration of USA....

The June total was revised up by about 300,000 positions. “This is a massive surprise to the upside,” said Julia Pollak, chief economist at ZipRecruiter, noting that postings on online job sites have declined, job-seeker confidence levels have been cooling and reports of offers rescinded have been on the rise. “We’ve seen all these headlines about layoffs and probably just experiences with inflation have a chilling effect on job seekers in recent months,” she said....

VALERIA MONGELLI / AFP Thomas Pesquet, ici lors d’une conférence de presse au Planétarium de Bruxelles en Belgique, le 27 juin 2022. ESPACE – Les prochains vols habités de la mission Artemis vers la Lune aiguisent les esprits complotistes sur les réseaux sociaux, mettant en lumière la théorie selon laquelle la mission Apollo n’était qu’une étape et que l’Homme n’aurait jamais marché sur la Lune. Une interview de Thomas Pesquet au journal télévisé de France 2 du dimanche 28 août – la veille du lancement de la capsule sans pilote Orion, finalement repoussé au dernier moment – a récemment été utilisée dans un montage vidéo pour faire croire que l’astronaute avait admis qu’il était humain, il n’avait jamais mis le pied sur la Lune....

According to sources who spoke confidentially with CBC News, the shuffle is due to one cabinet minister choosing to leave their current role for personal reasons.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to be in Ottawa on Wednesday. The cabinet moves come ahead of a Liberal cabinet retreat next week in Vancouver....

Trump had made a similar promise during his final days in office, when some of the January 6 rioters were already in prison. None, however, were pardoned before leaving. But the former president’s comments come amid intense speculation about a potential re-election bid, and Trump’s continued invocation of the Capitol attack could foreshadow a central part of his future policy messaging. Asked Thursday if he was going to run again, Trump said, “Well, the time is coming, and I think you’re going to be very happy,” adding, “You know you have campaign finance laws and it doesn’t allow that....

Pour sa présentation du titre, Emma Raducanu a craqué pour un os tricolore nommé Alizé Cornet. Habituée à gratter la tête, notamment lors des Grands Chelems, la Française n’a pas menti à sa réputation en laissant le numéro 11 au premier tour dans le nid de sa propre fabrication, c’est-à-dire un an. Victoire nette (6-3, 6-3) face à la jeune championne, qui va désormais pouvoir tourner la page de sa courte carrière....

On Aug. 10, the company spearheading the public-private partnership infrastructure project revealed cracks had been found on three concrete piers supporting elevated tracks along the new LRT line to Mill Woods.

Comment A quiet end of summer for wildfires in the West may come to an abrupt end. Weather models indicate a potentially extreme and prolonged heat wave will develop across western states this week and into the Labor Day weekend. The National Weather Service in Sacramento is warning of a “very dangerous heat hazard” with high temperatures well above 100 degrees. Although a supercharged monsoon has brought a welcome respite from the smoky summer skies and devastating wildfires of the past two years, not all areas have seen drenching rain....

Der Senat hatte ihre Nebentätigkeit an der Evangelischen Hochschule Berlin (EHB) Mitte Januar genehmigt, das Senatorengesetz lässt das für Lehrtätigkeiten zu. Auch die Justizverwaltung bestätigte Krecks Haltung – „dass ich mich nach meiner Ernennung zur Senatorin berechtigterweise Professorin genannt habe“. Doch die Wissenschaftsverwaltung könnte das anders sehen. Mit ihrem Titelverzicht reagiert Kreck nämlich auf ein „Standardverfahren“, für das es „einen Anlass gibt“, wie ein Sprecher der Wissenschaftsverwaltung sagte.„Es handelt sich um eine laufende Prüfung“, in der Kreck am Freitag „von uns zur Stellungnahme aufgefordert wurde....

Russia hastily responded with reinforcements from its Eastern Military District’s 35th Combined Arms Army, including elite paratrooper battalions, to reinforce the Southern Russian Military District’s 49th Combined Arms Army which has held the area since March. It is likely to use the paratroopers as a mobile reserve to plug gaps in the line and bring together the depleted regular infantry and poorly equipped contributions from the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic that make up the bulk of the Russian force there....
