90-year-old woman dies in collision with electric scooter

Posted: 28 Nov 2018 11:47 AM PST

90-year-old woman dies in collision with electric scooterA 90-year-old Spanish woman has died after a collision with an electric scooter in what is believed to be the first accident of its kind in the world. Two men were sharing a scooter when they smashed into the woman, who hit her head on the ground and died of her injuries in hospital a few days later. The pair are facing trial for manslaughter.  According to the police investigation cited by the Spanish newspaper El País, the two unnamed men were travelling at more than 30 kilometres per hour along a street shared by pedestrians and traffic in the Barcelona suburb of Esplugues de Llobregat. The accident, which was not reported at the time, occurred in August.  Last month a 40-year-old woman was killed in Sabadell, near Barcelona, when she fell off the electric scooter she was using and was run over by a truck. The exponential growth of electric scooters in cities in Spain and elsewhere has promoted debate about their safety and where they should be allowed to circulate. Out-of-date laws meant for non-motorised scooters mean that in Madrid, for example, they can be ridden on the pavement, although the city council is drawing up plans to restrict their use. In Barcelona a taxi driver videoed a teenage couple riding on a scooter at 50 miles an hour, presumably after manipulating the device to raise its maximum speed. Spain's interior minister, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, said in October that traffic rules must be changed to protect "especially vulnerable" road users, noting that this year would be the first on record in which pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists' deaths would outnumber those of drivers. British law already bans E-scooters and several towns and cities in California have ordered the vehicles off the streets. Hire-scooter company Bird has filed a lawsuit against Beverley Hills, following one such ban in the well-heeled neighbourhood.

Senate vote on Yemen rebukes Trump administration's pro-Saudi stanceMike Pompeo repeated administration claims that there was no direct evidence connecting the Saudi crown prince to Jamal Kahshoggi's murder. The Senate has delivered a significant rebuke to the Trump administration by defying the advice of its top officials and advancing a measure that would cut US military support for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen. The Republican-majority chamber voted 63-37 to allow the measure, which invokes the War Powers Resolution, stopping all involvement of US armed forces in the Yemen war, to proceed to the floor of the Senate for a vote, expected next week.

U.S. indicts Iranian hackers responsible for deploying 'SamSam' ransomware

Posted: 28 Nov 2018 10:17 AM PST

U.S. indicts Iranian hackers responsible for deploying 'SamSam' ransomwareThe United States on Wednesday indicted two Iranians for launching a major cyber attack using ransomware known as "SamSam" and sanctioned two others for helping exchange the ransom payments from Bitcoin digital currency into rials. The 34-month long hacking scheme wreaked havoc on hospitals, schools, companies and government agencies, including the cities of Atlanta, Georgia, and Newark, New Jersey, causing over $30 million in losses to victims and allowing the alleged hackers to collect over $6 million in ransom payments. The deployment of the SamSam ransomware represented some of the highest profile cyber attacks on U.S. soil, including one in 2016 that forced Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital in Los Angeles to turn away patients and one last year that shut down Atlanta courts and much of its city government.

California AG Considering Legal Challenge to Use of Force on Border

Posted: 29 Nov 2018 05:27 AM PST

California AG Considering Legal Challenge to Use of Force on BorderCalifornia attorney general Xavier Becerra said Wednesday that his office is "monitoring" the use of force against a caravan of migrants and the possible closure of the southern border and considering filing a legal challenge. "We have been approached by folks who have expressed complaints," Becerra told Reuters in an interview. Becerra, a Democrat and former member of Congress, suggested that president Trump's threat to close the border in response to the influx of central American migrants arriving in caravans might provide a legal avenue to challenge the administration, provided the border closure affects a California resident.

IMF's Lagarde says likely to approve Ukraine loan after Dec 10

Posted: 28 Nov 2018 02:35 PM PST

IMF's Lagarde says likely to approve Ukraine loan after Dec 10The International Monetary Fund board will meet to approve a new loan deal for Ukraine "promptly" after December 10, once the country implements key policy steps including raising gas and heating rates, IMF chief Christine Lagarde said Wednesday. Lagarde issued a statement following a telephone call with Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko, who earlier in the day imposed martial law for 30 days amid the escalating conflict with Russia. The brief IMF statement made no mention of the conflict, which flared after Russia seized three Ukrainian ships on Sunday off the coast of Crimea.

Heatwave Britain could see rise in violence, suicide and self harm, major report warns 

Posted: 28 Nov 2018 03:30 PM PST

Heatwave Britain could see rise in violence, suicide and self harm, major report warns Hotter summers will drive a spike in violence, suicide and self harm, the authors of a major study into the health impacts of climate change have warned. More than 150 experts from fields including climate science, health, engineering, agriculture and transport have assessed the implications of global warming on populations and warned that sweltering summers could have unexpected side effects. The new Countdown on Health and Climate Change report published in The Lancet warns that climate change 'aggravates' risks to mental health and wellbeing and increases aggression, violence, self-harm and suicide. Extreme events could also spark psychological problems such post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), adjustment disorder, and depression. Speaking at a briefing in Central London Dr Nick Watts, Executive Director of the Lancet Countdown, said: "Heat also has effects in terms of what it does to our mental health. "We know that in periods of hot weather there are spikes in violence, suicide and depression. "This is most evident in a few countries like Australia but we're now developing ways of considering that across the world." How hot is 2018 compared to previous summers? Research suggests that extreme heat can seriously impact brain chemistry, damaging neurotransmitters which regulate emotion.  Heat is also known to increase testosterone production, which can promote aggression. Studies in the US and Australia have found that increases in mean temperature by just 1C can see suicides rise more than two per cent and increase the number of people attending A&E through self harm by 0.7 per cent. Adelaide researchers also found rising temperatures led to significant increases in admissions to A&E for assaults and an increase in ambulance call-outs by four per cent, while mental health admissions increased by six per cent. A study in 2015 found droughts lead to an increase in farmers committing suicide while last year soaring temperatures was linked to collective violence. This week a climate change report from the Met Office warned that heatwave summers such as experienced in Britain this summer would become normal in the coming decades, with temperatures rising by more than 5C. Heatwave | Read more Professor Helen Stokes-Lampard, Chair of the Royal College of GPs, said: "When it comes to heatwaves in the UK, a sense of triviality often prevails – 'bumper summer temperatures' or 'barbecue weather' are more likely headlines than any focusing on the threat to our health. "GPs and our teams witnessed the effects of this summer's heatwave first-hand, and they are anything but trivial." The report found that on average, everyone on Earth was exposed to an additional 1.4 days of heatwave between 2000 and 2017 compared with the period 1986-2005. And while average global temperatures rose by 0.3 per cent between 1986 and 2017 the impact on human populations was much greater. The average temperature increase people were exposed to over the same period was 0.8C. Heat rising above physiological limits also made sustained work more difficult or impossible, the authors said. In 2017, 153 billion hours of labour were lost due to heat exposure, an increase of 62 billion hours since 2000.
