NATO readies military plans to defend against Russia

BRUSSELS — Russia’s armed forces are bruised but by no means beaten in the war in Ukraine, a top NATO military officer said Monday, as he laid out the biggest revamp to the organization’s military plans since the Cold War should Moscow dare to widen the conflict.“They might not be 11 feet tall, but they are certainly not 2 feet tall,” the Chair of the NATO Military Committee, Admiral Rob Bauer, told reporters. “So, we should never underestimate the Russians and their ability to bounce back.”U.S. President Joe Biden and his NATO counterparts are set to endorse a major shakeup of the alliance’s planning system at a summit in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius next week.NATO, as an organization, does not provide weapons or ammunition to Ukraine. It’s sought to avoid being dragged into a wider war with nuclear-armed Russia. At the same time, it is massively reinforcing the security of member countries near Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.Around 40...

Activists file civil rights complaint challenging Harvard’s legacy admissions following affirmative action ruling

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 11:28:25 GMT

If affirmative action is a civil rights violation than surely admissions preferences for the majority white donor-related and legacy applicants must be too, advocates proposed in a federal civil rights complaint challenging Harvard’s legacy admissions filed Monday.“There’s no birthright to Harvard,” said Lawyers for Civil Rights (LCR) Executive Director Ivan Espinoza-Madrigal. “As the Supreme Court recently noted, ‘eliminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it.’ … Your family’s last name and the size of your bank account are not a measure of merit, and should have no bearing on the college admissions process.”The complaint, filed with the U.S. Department of Education, alleges the legacy and donor admissions practices at Harvard have created “widespread violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964” by disadvantaging Black, Latinx and Asian American applicants. The filing urged the department t...

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 11:28:25 GMT

SAN DIEGO -- After a hot weekend inland, things are starting to cool down a bit in Southern California this week.High pressure that powered the San Diego region's first heatwave of the year is started to break down and give way to cooler conditions from the coast to the mountains.Heat-related weather alerts will expire Monday evening as onshore flow gradually strengths over the west coast. The marine layer has been pesky and will continue to keep beaches cool, with periods of morning and evening low clouds and patchy fog. Big Bay Boom: How to watch the fireworks show The marine layer shouldn't interfere with firework shows throughout San Diego County as the cloud deck isn't too low to block visibility. On July 4th, beaches will be partly cloudy with temperatures in the low 70s but there will be plenty of sunshine for inland valleys, where daytime highs are expected to top out in the mid-80s.There will be gusty southwesterly and westerly winds especially in the afternoon on the Fou...

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — An off-duty police officer participated in a raid where two Black men say deputies beat and sexually assaulted them before shooting one of them in the mouth, a Mississippi police chief said Monday. The announcement comes less than a week after Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey said all five deputy sheriffs tied to the Jan. 24 episode had been fired or resigned. Michael Corey Jenkins and his friend Eddie Terrell Parker said deputies burst inside a home without a warrant and subjected them to 90 minutes of abuse. The men said deputies beat them, assaulted them with a sex toy, shocked them repeatedly with Tasers and shouted racial epithets at them. In February, the allegations sparked a still-ongoing Justice Department civil rights probe. Jason Dare, an attorney representing the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office, said the department knew of five deputies who conducted the Jenkins raid. But since Jenkins and Parker came forward with their allegations in February, the...
