The posthumous memoir of Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent accusers, will be published in the autumn, a publisher has announced. Giuffre had been working on Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, with the award-winning author and journalist Amy Wallace before her death earlier this year. The 400-page book will be released on 21 October, according to the Associated Press. Giuffre, who alleged she had been trafficked for sex to Prince Andrew, had completed the manuscript before she took her own life in April, the publisher Alfred A Knopf said.

'Pride is not for sale,' says Queers for Palestine in statement Ottawa's annual Pride parade was cancelled on Sunday after it was halted by a local pro-Palestinian advocacy group that blocked the road and demanded to negotiate with organizers. The group Queers for Palestine — Ottawa (Q4P) halted the parade "with the permission" of the grand marshal, the organization said in a press release issued Sunday afternoon just as the parade was stopped. "This is what a village looks like!" protesters chanted from Parliament Hill, referencing the "We are a village" theme that Capital Pride was using for 2025. Q4P...

Abstract The prevailing idea so far about why the rainfall occurs was that after agglutination of water droplets with condensation nuclei, the size of the particle formed by the condensation nuclei connected with droplets of water increased considerably and caused its fall. This idea has led to numerous scientific publications in which empirical distribution functions of clouds’ water droplets sizes were proposed. Estimates values provided by these empirical distribution functions, in most cases, were validated by comparison with UHF Radar measurements

Las Vegas residents were left outraged as congregants at an Ethiopian orthodox church continue to illegally park their vehicles on lawns and driveways. Neighbors of the Hamere Noah Kidane Mihret and Saint Michael Ethiopian Church told KLAS they have repeatedly reached out to Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft and used the Fixit app as they were instructed, but nothing has changed in years. 'We document that and we provide that proof and we have found that there's no follow up,' said Daria Wu, who gathered her fellow neighbors to discuss the issues they have faced during the services at the...

A couple in Oklahoma has been arrested after an 11-year-old girl in their care gave birth at home without any medical assistance - though they insist they did not know the girl was pregnant. The young girl's mother, Cherie Walker, 33, and her stepfather, Dustin Walker, 34, are facing felony child neglect charges after they allegedly failed to provide supervision or medical care to the child, who gave birth at their house in Muskogee on August 16, Fox 23 reports. She was 36 weeks pregnant and gave birth to a full-term baby, according to court documents obtained by the local...

It was one of those. It was either in Nantucket or the Vineyard, and invited Epstein to go, and I believe that’s when he met Prince Andrew’.” This mention of Lady Rothschild is not in the least surprising, since we’ve known for some time that she was also the one who introduced Epstein to lawyer Alan Dershowitz:

U.S. President Donald Trump has been on a multimillion-dollar bond-buying spree since taking office in January, investing in debt issued by local authorities, gas districts and major American corporations. Across 33 pages of filings with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, or OGE, dated Aug. 12, the president outlined 690 transactions that have taken place since he took office. The documents were made public on Tuesday. According to CNBC calculations, the purchases had a total value of at least $100 million, assuming the lower value end listed for each disclosed transaction. By law, the U.S. president, vice president and other...

All 95 major housing markets in the world have at least one thing in common: they’re unaffordable. That’s according to a May study by the Chapman University Center for Demographics and Policy that compared the median home price to median incomes of 95 housing markets in the third quarter of 2024. Markets were considered “affordable” if their median home price was no more than three times the area’s median annual income. Of the markets analyzed, 12 were classified as “impossibly unaffordable,” and not a single one was deemed “affordable,” the study found. The most affordable housing market was in Pittsburgh,...

President Trump on Sunday sought to ramp up pressure on Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) over his defense of the “blue slip” practice that allows home-state senators to veto nominees to district courts and U.S. attorneys’ offices. “I have a Constitutional Right to appoint Judges and U.S. Attorneys, but that RIGHT has been completely taken away from me in States that have just one Democrat United States Senator,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform. “This is because of an old and outdated ‘custom’ known as a BLUE SLIP, that Senator Chuck Grassley, of the...

It may be hard to remember a time when it was uncommon for girls and women to play competitive sports, but it’s not exactly ancient history. The 1972 passage of Title IX, which mandated equal access for women to participate in sports and other educational activities that receive federal funding, gets credit for dramatically increasing the number of girls and women playing sports.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has called for a reform of Germany's social welfare spending while ruling out tax increases on medium-sized companies. The comments, made at a state-level party conference of his Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in Lower Saxony on Saturday, will likely be seen as paving the way for further contention with his government coalition partners, the Social Democrats (SPD). What did Merz say about cutting welfare? "The welfare state that we have today can no longer be financed with what we produce in the economy," Merz said in the town of Osnabrück. The coalition partners had already agreed...

The unidentified American was rushed to...

Sir Keir Starmer faces mounting pressure over the small boats crisis after protests continued outside asylum hotels and a poll suggested voters thought he was failing to grip the problem. The Prime Minister and his government have set out measures to speed up the asylum appeals system to aid the removal of people with no right to be in the UK. But Labour former home secretary Lord Blunkett said the Government had so far failed to offer a “comprehensive answer or an understandable narrative” on tackling the crisis. So far this year a record 28,076 people have crossed the English...

The dust storm arrived Saturday evening after strong thunderstorms in the Sierra Nevada drifted off the mountains and whipped up strong winds...

During Wednesday’s Democratic presidential debate, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) stated that scientists are saying that “if we don’t get our act together within the next eight or nine years,” major cities will go underwater because of climate change.

We’re talking about increased drought. We’re talking about increased extreme weather disturbances. The United Nations is telling us that in...
