Trump asks judge to reject gag order requested by prosecutors
WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump’s attorneys argued in a court filing Monday that a gag order requested by special counsel Jack Smith in the federal 2020 election interference case is unconstitutional, overly broad and an effort to censor the former president during the 2024 presidential race.“The Proposed Gag Order is nothing more than an obvious attempt by the Biden Administration to unlawfully silence its most prominent political opponent,” Trump’s attorneys said in the response.Trump is asking US District Judge Tanya Chutkan to deny the prosecutor’s request for a gag order entirely, requesting a hearing on the matter. Chutkan, an Obama appointee overseeing the criminal case in Washington, DC, hasn’t yet made a decision on the request for a gag order.Justice...

Canada’s Speaker Rota resigns after Nazi in parliament row
OTTAWA — The Speaker of Canada’s House of Commons has resigned after unwittingly praising a Ukrainian man who fought for a Nazi unit and inviting him to parliament.After first resisting calls to step down, Anthony Rota quit on Tuesday after meeting party leaders in Ottawa.“I must step down as your Speaker,” he said in parliament. “I reiterate my profound regret.” The incident last Friday drew global condemnation.Yaroslav Hunka, 98, got a standing ovation after Rota called him a “hero” during a Friday visit by Ukraine’s president.Rota has said he did not know of Hunka’s Nazi ties and made a mistake in inviting him to attend the event.Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Monday it was “extremely upsetting that this happened”.“This is something that is...

Biden addresses autoworkers on picket line.
Biden makes history by joining UAW picket line
MICHIGAN — US President Joe Biden has backed striking cars workers in Michigan during a visit to their picket line — a first for a sitting US president.Biden said that the workers “deserve” raises and other concessions they are seeking. The visit comes a day before his would-be challenger, Donald Trump, is due to arrive.But workers told the BBC they felt the rivals might politicize the strike, and urged them to “just stay away”.In brief remarks to the picketing workers on Tuesday, the Democratic president said that they “deserve the significant raise you need and other benefits”.He added that the workers should be doing as “incredibly well” as the companies that employ them.Ahead of the visit, however, some workers sounded less than enthused about the visits.“We would...

Only way to end nuclear risk ‘is to eliminate nuclear weapons’: Guterres
NEW YORK — When “geopolitical mistrust and competition” has pushed the nuclear risk to Cold War levels, total elimination of such weapons is the only route to a peaceful future, the UN chief has said.Secretary-General António Guterres issued his call in a statement marking the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons on Tuesday.He warned that hard-won progress over many decades to prevent the use, spread and testing of nuclear weapons is being undone, and called for nuclear disarmament and a strengthened regime of non-proliferation.In the decades since the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, with all the horrific devastation and atrocious consequences that ensued, there has been some progress led by the UN — but that’s now being undone, said the UN...

Cassidy Hutchinson
Cassidy Hutchinson’s new book reveals a Trump White House even more chaotic
WASHINGTON — In her new book “Enough,” former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson paints the closing days of the Trump White House as even more chaotic and lawless than she previously disclosed in her shocking televised testimony last summer: President Donald Trump lashes out unpredictably and makes wild demands. Chief of Staff Mark Meadows leaks classified documents to friendly right-wing media figures and burns documents. Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani gropes Hutchinson inappropriately on the day of the Capitol insurrection.She also depicts major Republican figures, including Speaker Kevin McCarthy, stating clearly behind the scenes what they refrained from telling the American people — that Joe Biden won the presidential election and Trump lost.Hints that integrity wasn’t exactly...

SpaceX rockets are being used to carry private astronauts to the International Space Station
US-China rivalry spurs investment in space tech
WASHINGTON — The US is "in a space race with China to go back to the moon", says Nasa chief Bill Nelson.In a BBC interview, Nelson says he wants to make sure "we get there first".His comments revive memories of the 1960s and 1970s, when Nasa was in a space race with the Soviet Union. But half a century later, Nasa is employing private companies to do much more of the work.Nelson says they are crucial because it allows for the huge costs to be shared, and for Nasa to draw on "the creativity of entrepreneurs in the private sector".He points to Elon Musk's SpaceX, which in 2021 was awarded a $3bn (£2.4bn) contract to build a lunar lander, and has also developed the most powerful rocket ever built.Other private firms are also feeling the benefit of the...
