Authorities have finally linked her suspected killer, using advanced forensic technology, to the cold case. The Riverside County District Attorney’s Office made the announcement recently, bringing new hope and possibly some clarity to the Gonzalez family. Williamson's behavior during the police inquiry, described by the Riverside County Sheriff's deputies as "argumentative," led investigators to suspect him eventually. Sadly, Esther's case fell cold for decades as investigators struggled to find leads. According to the District Attorney's news release, the cold case team sent samples to Othram for analysis.

Governor Newsom's proactive stance signifies California's readiness to lead the charge, ensuring the state's green momentum continues unabated, regardless of federal positions.

EFFORTS to lobby MPs on the forthcoming free vote on a Private Member’s Bill to legalise assisted dying have intensified this week. The Bishop of London, the Rt Revd Sarah Mullally, is a lead signatory to an open letter from faith leaders in opposition. “Part of the role of faith leaders in communities is to provide spiritual and pastoral care for the sick and for the dying,” the faith leaders write. “While there are many examples of excellent palliative care in this country, it remains worryingly underfunded. Investment in palliative care is the policy of a truly compassionate nation.

The Times reported in an exclusive article last night that the Government is set to announce a major increase in legal aid funding this week to help clear a large backlog of asylum appeals. Millions in extra funding will be made available in an effort to increase the number of firms and lawyers willing to take on asylum cases. This often significantly extends the duration of hearings, with self-represented cases taking up to six times longer than those with legal representatives. A Government source told The Times: "We will increase money for legal aid above and beyond inflation to address the fact that it hasn't kept up for years." A Home Office source indicated that it could take up to a year before the total number of hotels in use begins to decline.

There isn’t a galaxy far, far away enough where women can escape sexist online trolls. There was so much space,” Calandrelli said in a video posted to social media that showed her reacting with awe to seeing Earth from space. She added: “I didn’t expect to see so much space, and I kept saying that’s our planet! The astronaut and MIT engineer said some sexualized her reaction to viewing the planet from space. In an Instagram post, she wrote she refuses “to give much time to the small men on the internet.

A new federal polling entrant produces results well in line with the general trend, while Roy Morgan finds Labor with its nose back in front. Two new federal poll results to relate:• New-ish polling outfit DemosAU has published what I believe to be its first national federal voting intention result, recording a 50-50 split on two-party preferred from primary votes of Labor 32%, Coalition 38%, Greens 12% and One Nation 7%. The two-party measure based on preference flows from 2022 has Labor leading 51.5-48.5, after a dead heat last time. YouGov, which has typically reported on Fridays, has its first federal poll since September, showing a dead heat on two-party preferred, unchanged on last time. The primary votes are Labor 30% (steady), Coalition 38% (down one), Greens 13% (down one) and One Nation 9% (up two).

Every now and again, a newspaper will run – and portentously headline – a survey on the future of the monarchy. The correct response to all such consultations was a heavingly contemptuous Alan Partridge shrug. The whole point of having a hereditary monarchy is that it’s hereditary and that the general public don’t get a say in the matter. If we want rid, it’ll take a bit more than a poll commissioned by the Sunday Times to do the trick. There’s never a shortage of fools to jump on an internet bandwagonExactly the same response seems to me appropriate to the petition demanding an immediate general election that has appeared on the government’s petitions website.

GOP Senator Markwayne Mullin–He’s Still Giving Demagogue Donald the Benefit of the Doubt November 25, 2024As we all know by now, Trump’s beyond awful nominee for Atty. First - term Senator GOP Markwayne Mullin (47) currently represents Sooner State Oklahoma. During this hearing, Sen. Mullin told O’Brien to “shut his mouth” and mocked O’Brien as a “tough guy and greedy CEO (Pengelly, M., 3/09/23, theguardian.com).” In a second Senate confrontation, Sen. Mullin challenged O’Brien to a fight and began moving toward O’Brien. Sen. Mullin also favorably cited the near fatal beating via caning of anti-slavery Sen.Charles Sumner by pro-Southern Cong. Sen. Mullin additionally supports making abortion illegal under all circumstances, with no exceptions for rape, incest, or if the mother’s life was at risk.

“I predict Rayner leaving in a storm of controversy will change nothing.”I first met Viner when she was editor of the Guardian‘s Weekend Magazine; it was a great newspaper, and The Observer the best Sunday around. I would write the occasional column to fill in for Julie Burchill and Viner was a joy to work for. But many of the journalists on the latter have told me they are appalled at the censorious, often anti-feminist atmosphere at The Guardian. And when Webster retired, some admitted they were nervous about whether Viner would merge the editorial line into that of The Guardian. By failing to confront the ideologues, Viner has betrayed the principles of liberal, open-minded journalism.

A brawl broke out in the Serbian parliament between the ruling coalition and the opposition over a train station roof collapse that killed 15 people earlier in November. The altercation was sparked after a member of the opposition put up a picture of a red hand with a sign saying ‘you have blood on your hands’ at the speaker’s platform, suggesting the ruling coalition was to blame for the train station disaster.

The Republican leader banned trans troops during his first administration (Picture: Getty Images)Donald Trump is planning to kick all trans personnel out of the US Army even as World War III fears rise, sources claim. An estimated 15,000 trans people are serving in the US Army. The order would prevent trans people from enlisting and eject all currently serving trans soldiers from their posts. Regardless of how many years they have served, trans troops would be given a special medical discharge that declares them unfit, insiders told The Times. And this – and the army possibly losing 15,000 personnel – comes amid concerns World War 3 could break out as the Russia-Ukraine war escalates.

The bill says two doctors must assess the request and check they have reached their decision voluntarily and then final permission is granted by a high court judge who allows a life-ending “approved substance” — to be self-administered — to be prescribed to them. They point to Canada and Oregon where the promised safeguards have not protected the vulnerable and most marginalised. “It is easy to see how a ‘right to die’ could all too easily end in feeling you have a ‘duty to die,” the letter states, calling for more investment in palliative care instead.The private members’ bill is being presented by Labour backbencher Kim Leadbeater after her name topped the ballot. MPs will have a free vote, meaning they can vote according to their conscience.Health secretary Wes Streeting and justice secretary Shabana Mahmood are opposed to the bill. In a letter to her constituents, Mahmood wrote: "The state should never offer death as a service.”But Leadbeater says the law needs to change “to give dying people choice and autonomy”.

The first challenge lies in the detection of pedestrians and the triggering of the pedestrian green light. By doing so, we can make crossings and driving more efficient, reducing frustration, encouraging compliance and ultimately improving road safety. By extending the pedestrian green phasel, large groups of children can cross safely, while reducing pedestrian wait times and preventing children from crowding the roadside. Starling’s pedestrian safety solution has demonstrated significant improvements over traditional signalling technology. Pedestrian safety, traffic reduction, bus priority, and blue light priority are just a few examples of how this system can be adapted.

There it was in huge gold letters, the answer to Tottenham’s prayers, the name of the man that City are lacking, and will continue to lack, Rodri. Perhaps we’re getting closer since in the five-game losing run that has Pep Guardiola rubbing his cranium like he’s polishing an unearthed Roman coin, there has been much creaking. To use the phrasing of former City utility man, Fabian Delph, time to go back to the “basics of football”. FOOTBALL DAILY LETTERS‘Caveat emptor’ – I think Pep Guardiola suffered a severe case of buyer’s remorse on Saturday. • This is an extract from our daily football email … Football Daily.
