Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:11:48 GMT

French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday (20 July) reshuffled his ministers for key domestic portfolios such as education, housing and urban affairs, as his government begins its response to riots that shook the country three weeks ago.Macron has struggled to relaunch his second term in office, which has been plagued by domestic crises including months of protests over pension reform as well as the five days of riots over the police killing of a teenager of Algerian and Moroccan descent at a traffic stop.The most high-profile change was at the education ministry, where Pap Ndiaye, a Black studies university expert who had become a target of right-wing, conservative attacks, was replaced by budget minister Gabriel Attal, 34.Attal, a rising star among Macronistas, became France's youngest cabinet member at 29 when he joined government in 2018.

Ask Amy: My boyfriend’s ‘business’ brings scary people to our house

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:11:48 GMT

Dear Amy: My live-in boyfriend is a low-level pot dealer.Honestly, this has always bothered me, but he says that now that pot is legal in our state, he is no longer breaking the law, but running a business.I basically hate the fact that he does this. It brings losers into our home at odd hours, and I have at times felt unsafe.I guess I’m writing to you because I’d like a gut check. I value your point of view and could use another perspective.So – what do you think?TiredDear Tired: In my state (where consuming pot is now legal), individuals can grow a small number of plants for their own use, but it is still illegal to possess more than three ounces and to sell it outside of a legitimate and licensed business.You should do some research into the web of laws and regulations where you live in order to understand (better than your boyfriend does) the extent to which he is breaking the law.More important, in my mind, is the atmosphere this creates in your home, and how vulnerable you are...

The gap is closing at the Women’s World Cup as the underdogs rise up

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:11:48 GMT

SYDNEY (AP) — The underdogs are rising up at the Women’s World Cup.Jamaica’s 0-0 draw with one of the tournament favorites in France on Sunday was the latest evidence the gap is closing in international soccer.There were enough examples of that during the men’s World Cup in Qatar last year with Saudi Arabia beating eventual champion Argentina, while Morocco became the first African team to advance to the semifinals.“Smaller countries are getting that understanding. We might not have the resources the bigger countries do in terms of equipment and traveling and games, but I think there’s an understanding there with coaches and technical staff and everything that our preparation is a little bit better all around,” Jamaica coach Lorne Donaldson said.“Once upon a time the U.S. by far was very, very dominant and you can just see the gap is closing. I think the smaller nations are jumping on the bandwagon and saying, ‘We can do this too.’”France coach Hervé Renard, who le...
