Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:17:55 GMT

The Russian mercenary group at the center of a short-lived mutiny against President Vladimir Putin proceeded on Sunday with troop withdrawal from areas in southern Russia under its control.The lightning chaos wreaked by the heavily armed Wagner Group, which has played a key role in Moscow’s war against Ukraine, ended with a deal on Saturday under which group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin would leave Russia for Belarus, with Moscow revoking criminal charges against him.On Sunday, Prigozhin’s rebel troops started pulling out of Russia’s southern Voronezh region, which is situated along a highway that the Wagner Group wanted to use to march on Moscow.“The movement of Wagner units through the Voronezh region is ending,” Voronezh Governor Alexander Gusev said, according to AFP news agency.At Rostov-on-Don, a Russian city close to the Ukrainian border that was seized by Wagner on Saturday, there are also signs of military de-escalation.

In post-Roe era, House Republicans begin quiet push for new restrictions on abortion access

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:17:55 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — When the Supreme Court issued its abortion ruling last June overturning Roe v. Wade, House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy said “our work is far from done.” He didn’t say what might come next.A year later later, McCarthy is the speaker, Republicans are in the majority and the blanks are beginning to be filled in.In a flurry of little-noticed legislative action, GOP lawmakers are pushing abortion policy changes, trying to build on the work of activists whose strategy successfully elevated their fight to the nation’s highest court. In one government funding bill after another, Republicans are incorporating unrelated policy provisions, known as riders, to restrict women’s reproductive rights. Democrats say the proposals will never become law.“This is not just about an attack on women’s health,” Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro, the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, said Friday. “I view it as an attempt to derail the entire proce...

Belarus deal to take in leader of Russian rebellion puts him in an even more repressive nation

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:17:55 GMT

Russian mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was notorious for unbridled and profane challenges to authority even before the attempted rebellion that he mounted Saturday. The reported agreement for him to go into exile in Belarus would place him in a country where such behavior is even less acceptable than in his homeland.Prigozhin on Sunday was uncharacteristically silent as his Wagner private army forces pulled back from Russian cities after a Kremlin announcement that he agreed to depart for Belarus; it remains unclear whether he’s actually there.Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko reportedly negotiated the deal. But Prigozhin’s maverick ways are at odds with Lukashenko’s harsh repression of dissent and independent media. In power since 1994, the leader often called “Europe’s last dictator” launched a brutal crackdown on 2020 protests against his rule; hundreds were sentenced to lengthy prison terms, including Nobel Peace Prize laureate Ales Bialiatski.Under Lukashenko, Belarus...

When wealthy adventurers take huge risks, who should foot the bill for rescue attempts?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:17:55 GMT

When millionaire Steve Fossett’s plane went missing over the Nevada range in 2007, the swashbuckling adventurer had already been the subject of two prior emergency rescue operations thousands of miles apart.And that prompted a prickly question: After a sweeping search for the wealthy risktaker ended, who should foot the bill?In recent days, the massive hunt for a submersible vehicle lost during a north Atlantic descent to explore the wreckage of the Titanic has refocused attention on that conundrum. And with rescuers and the public fixated first on saving and then on mourning those aboard, it has again made for uneasy conversation.“Five people have just lost their lives and to start talking about insurance, all the rescue efforts and the cost can seem pretty heartless — but the thing is, at the end of the day, there are costs,” said Arun Upneja, dean of Boston University’s School of Hospitality Administration and a researcher on tourism.“There are many people who are going to say, ‘...
