Heat Advisory Continues into the Weekend with Storms Still in the Forecast

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:06:53 GMT

More heat and more storms are in the cards this weekend in South Florida as a tropical wave passes through the southern portion of the Penninsula, increasing our rain chances at times. These tropical waves can be fickle, so if the moisture with the wave holds, then it could turn soggy at times, especially on Sunday.Heat Advisory is in effect again today for all of South Florida from the late-morning through the evening for feels-like temperatures up to 112F at most locations.High temperatures Saturday will be in the low to mid 90s with in-and-out sunshine and the chance for seeing some showers and storms around the area. With a 40% rain chance, there’s a better shot at any given location staying dry than receiving any rain.Now on Sunday, there should be some more moisture in place so rain chances will be higher at a 60% chance. Sunday is not forecast to be a washout but scattered showers and storms are expected, especially during the morning and early afternoon hours. This may...

6 dead and dozens rescued from sinking migrant boat in the English Channel

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:06:53 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Six people died and dozens were rescued when a boat carrying migrants capsized Saturday in the English Channel, according to French authorities. The Maritime Prefecture of the Channel and the North Sea reported about 50 people were rescued.Initial reports indicated that six of those rescued were in critical condition. One individual later died after being transported by helicopter to a Calais hospital, and an update confirmed the deaths of five others who were ferried to shore by boat.“This morning, a migrant boat capsized off Calais,” French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said on social media. “My thoughts are with the victims.” The deaths come as Britain’s conservative ruling party has sought to stop crossings of small, often unseaworthy, boats with a variety of policies that have come under fire for failing to stem the flow of migrants. French authorities noted a marked increase in attempted crossings from the coast since Thursday during the onset of mil...

The failed Ohio amendment reflects Republican efforts nationally to restrict direct democracy

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:06:53 GMT

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — After Ohio voters repealed a law pushed by Republicans that would have limited unions’ collective bargaining rights in 2011, then-GOP Gov. John Kasich was contrite.“I’ve heard their voices, I understand their decision and, frankly, I respect what people have to say in an effort like this,” he told reporters after the defeat.The tone from Ohio Republicans was much different this past week after voters resoundingly rejected their attempt to impose hurdles on passing amendments to the state constitution — a proposal that would have made it much more difficult to pass an abortion rights measure in November.During an election night news conference, Republican Senate President Matt Huffman vowed to use the powers of his legislative supermajority to bring the issue back soon, variously blaming out-of-state dark money, unsupportive fellow Republicans, a lack of time and the issue’s complexity for its failure. He never mentioned respecting the will of the 57...

The Pentagon plans to shake up DC’s National Guard, criticized for its response to protests, Jan. 6

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:06:53 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon is developing plans to restructure the National Guard in Washington, D.C., in a move to address problems highlighted by the chaotic response to the Jan. 6 riot and safety breaches during the 2020 protests over the murder of George Floyd, The Associated Press has learned.The changes under discussion would transfer the District of Columbia’s aviation units, which came under sharp criticism during the protests when a helicopter flew dangerously low over a crowd. In exchange, the district would get more military police, which is often the city’s most significant need, as it grapples with crowd control and large public events. Several current and former officials familiar with the talks spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. They said no final decisions have been made.A key sticking point is who would be in control of the D.C. Guard — a politically divisive question that gets to the heart of what has been an ongoing, turbul...

Montreal’s Sarah Bernstein explores power and prejudice in Booker longlisted ‘Study for Obedience’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:06:53 GMT

When Sarah Bernstein started writing her second novel, “Study for Obedience,” the words of another artist were on her mind. She had previously attended a retrospective of visual artist Paula Rego’s work in Edinburgh, Scotland and was struck by a particular quote emblazoned on the art gallery wall. “She said something like, ‘I can turn the tables, I can do as I want, I can make my women obedient and murderous at the same time,'” Bernstein recalled in an interview. The Montreal-born author said that quote captured an “interesting tension” and provided inspiration for the novel that has now been longlisted for this year’s prestigious Booker Prize. The literary award recognizes the best long fiction work published in the U.K. and Ireland and written inEnglish.Bernstein, who lives and teaches in Scotland, said she was in “disbelief” when her editor told her about the Booker Prize nod.“I can’t stress enough how inconceivabl...

Québecor stops paying rent at legislature, says 100K fee a threat to democracy

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:06:53 GMT

MONTREAL — A major Quebec media company is at risk of becoming a squatter in the province’s legislature district.Montreal-based media and telecom conglomerate Québecor has announced it will stop paying rent for the office its political journalists use in one of Quebec’s legislature buildings, in the provincial capital. The company, which owns television station TVA and newspapers Journal de Montréal and Journal de Québec, says its rent amounts to $8,448 per month — more than $100,000 per year before tax.In a letter to the legislature, Québecor vice-president Jad Barsoum said the company’s rent “goes against the principles of access and is detrimental to democratic life.”Quebec’s legislature, known as the National Assembly, charges media outlets at an annual rate of $269.86 per square metre of office space they occupy — a “prohibitive” sum, according to Canadian Association of Journalists president Brent Jolly.“I think it’s ...

Children of man who died in N.S. floods question why roads open, alerts delayed

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:06:53 GMT

TANTALLON, N.S. — It doesn’t make sense to Robie Holland that — as 250 millimetres of rain poured down in rural Nova Scotia — there was nothing to stop his father from travelling down a rapidly flooding road.“Why was the road open? That’s the main question I keep coming back to …. It was flooding, and it wasn’t safe for people to be going down those roads. Why, if you’re out in the rural communities, is it a free-for-all?” he asked in an interview Friday.“In my eyes, this was an avoidable situation.”Nicholas Holland, 52, was among the four people who died in the historic, inland flooding on July 22, as torrential waters poured over rural Route 14 near Brooklyn, N.S. — northwest of Halifax — and swept two vehicles into a hayfield.Robie Holland, 25, and his sister Sophie Holland, 23, said in an interview that while they’re grateful for the efforts of searchers that night, an independent probe is needed to answer questions abo...
