“When you look at the statistics and see that more people are dying from overdoses now than HIV, gun deaths and car crashes at their peak years, it’s just startling,” Soboroff told TheWrap. Soboroff’s reporting for “One Nation, Over Dosed” took him to Montgomery County, Ohio, an area local officials call the epicenter of the Fentanyl crisis and so many people are overdosing that the coroner calls it a “mass casualty event.” Soboroff says he’s wanted to examine the opioid crisis since he joined...

Sean Spicer, the embattled press secretary, spoke for 30 minutes Tuesday and didn't answer a number of basic questions, including whether the president believes Russia interfered in the 2016 election and whether Trump had seen the hotly debated Senate health care bill. Once more freewheeling exchanges, White House press briefings have been shrinking both in length and content as Trump's senior aides clamp down on information and contend with the president's own lack of message discipline and preference for speaking directly to his fan base.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina government readied Tuesday for another face-off between Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper and the Republican legislature, this time over a final GOP budget deal with lots of raises and money saved for rainy days but one Cooper still blasted as "fiscally irresponsible."

After Trump was elected president on Nov. 8, security around his namesake tower on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue ramped up dramatically, even including a fleet of heavy sanitation department trucks filled with sand to wall off the front of the building.

BART directors will consider a policy Thursday that aims to protect people from immigration raids while riding the transit system or while trying to get a job with it. When Board of Directors member Lateefah Simon broached the idea of making BART a sanctuary transit agency in March, some directors and staff members bristled. The resolution that the BART board will consider Thursday at its meeting in Oakland avoids the word “sanctuary,” and says BART will yield to any federal or state law or court order regarding undocumented immigrants.

In the suit, filed in federal court in California, child-development expert Denise Daniels says that the premise of the 2015 film — described in the suit as “the use of anthropomorphized emotions Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust as individual characters within the head of an 11-year old girl” — was lifted from her own children’s program The Moodsters. Each character is an animated, anthropomorphized figure representing a single emotion with a corresponding color, and specifically happiness (yellow)... Читать дальше...

KABUL — Afghans who scratch out a living by removing some of the country’s countless land mines have long had to contend with rugged terrain, accidental explosions and the threat of kidnapping — but these days they face the added risk of being laid off. A financial crisis in recent years has forced the country to cut back on efforts to remove explosives left over from decades of conflict — buried bombs that kill and maim dozens of people every month and render precious farming and grazing land unusable.

BUENOS AIRES — In a hidden room in a house near Argentina’s capital, police believe they have found the biggest collection of Nazi artifacts in the country’s history, including a bust relief of Adolf Hitler, magnifying glasses inside elegant boxes with swastikas and even a macabre medical device used to measure head size. Some 75 objects were found in a collector’s home in Beccar, a suburb north of Buenos Aires, and authorities say they suspect they are originals that belonged to high-ranking Nazis in Germany during World War II.

Bryan — whose in-ring name is a play on his real one, Bryan Danielson — is still a big part of the show, however, as general manager (a job whose “offer” Bryan tells us was “not a request” from company brass, by the way) of WWE’s Tuesday show, “SmackDown Live.” [...] should the former champion squeeze back into his tights, the “Yes” movement may have to move to another wrestling promotion. In other words, Vince McMahon has a lot more to lose than any other league in the industry that he’s infamously dubbed “sports entertainment.” Currently... Читать дальше...

In the first major court battle for gay activists who have contested the law, the court found in favor of three gay activists who claimed the law violated the rights to freedom of expression and prohibition of discrimination under the European Convention on Human Rights. “By adopting such laws the authorities reinforce stigma and prejudice and encourage homophobia, which is incompatible with the notions of equality, pluralism and tolerance inherent in a democratic society,” the seven-judge panel said in the ruling...

“This will have a meaningful impact on drivers’ bottom lines and provide a good incentive to go above and beyond while driving, which will help Uber’s brand,” said Harry Campbell, a Los Angeles driver who runs The Rideshare Guy blog and podcast. On Monday it said drivers had reaped $250 million in tips to date — of which Lyft does not take a cut. Besides allowing riders to select a custom amount, Lyft currently offers $1, $2 and $5 tip options, but said it will add higher defaults ($2, $5 and $10) for rides over $25. Читать дальше...
