Environmental group Extinction Rebellion said it had planned to block four major thoroughfares to protest fossil fuels. “Locations were selected to block Boston’s Central Artery to prevent employees from entering the financial district and harbor,” the group said in a statement Wednesday. They claimed more than 40 activists would take part, “locked in large pink metal barrels adorned with banners on top spelling out their messages of demands to stop new fossil fuel infrastructure”....

Six weeks of industrial action has plagued the council area. Unions and the council will meet this morning to discuss the suspension of strike action. It was keenly felt in the lack of waste management services available to contributors, with household bins left empty, recycling centers closed and bin bags lining the streets alongside overflowing public bins. An emergency meeting of the local authority was held, confidentially, yesterday afternoon. The council’s senior management team, led by chief executive Roger Wilson, was seeking councilors’ approval of a possible deal with union representatives....

Alabama Corrections Commissioner John Hamm said the decision to cancel Alan Miller’s scheduled execution was made after it became clear they could not start the process in time. The last-minute stay came nearly three hours after the US Supreme Court cleared the way for the execution to go ahead. “Due to time constraints resulting from the delay in the judicial process, the execution was canceled after it was determined that the condemned inmate’s veins could not be accessed according to our protocol before the death warrant expired,” Hamm said....

Apple’s new premium rugged smartwatch has been leaked by the iFixit team, with some clear points of contention. Things are off to a good start with the news that the Ultra is the first Apple Watch to feature screws on the back of the device.

La première semaine de pourparlers a été écourtée après que le conducteur se soit senti mal. Nadine Oliveira, qui a d’abord fondu en larmes, a depuis été soignée pour une insuffisance cardiaque, ce qui a poussé le tribunal à suspendre l’audience. “Mon client est en réanimation dans le service de cardiologie de l’hôpital du Nord”, a déclaré son avocat, Me Jean Codognès, à 20 Minutes.

“We would like this story to be publicized to give the justice that all honest anglers deserve,” said Mitch Zinally, 38, a Toronto angler who has been competing in Canadian tournaments since 2017. “It paints the rest of us as dishonest,” said teammate Brandon Kadosky, 35, who lives in Richmond, Ont.

Helen Timson, 51, from Leicester, argued that it was illegal and unethical for the DWP to allow water and energy companies to take up to 25% of a claimant’s monthly income at source without any form of checking with the plaintiff. Hundreds of thousands of claimants are believed to be subject to the discounts. The high court ruled that the DWP’s operation of the scheme was unlawful because officials’ failure to give claimants an opportunity to challenge the companies’ claim meant they would not be able to decide whether the discount was in the claimants’ best interests ....
