In the clip, Yeshua tells his 7-year-old daughter that she “can be anything in this world” she wants to be.

Making Brooklyn Borough President and former police captain Eric Adams the next mayor of liberal New York propels public safety toward the top of Democrats’ priority list. And it takes air out of the politically poisonous “defund the police” nonsense floated by a few on the left. “I don’t hate police departments,” Adams, an African American who says he was beaten by police in his youth, said. “I hate abusive policing, and that’s what people mix up....

Chapman, a 17-year-old baseball player at Charles City High School, was playing a doubleheader at Waverly-Shell Rock High School on June 27. Chapman spoke with the Des Moines Register and The Gazette about the racial abuse he faced from opposing fans during that game.

Former Washington County deputies Henry Lee Copeland, Michael Howell and Rhett Scott, all white, are on trial for the murder of Eurie Martin, 58, who died after the officers allegedly shocked him repeatedly with stun guns. John Durden, the agent, told jurors that the three former deputies should not have stopped and detained Martin and that he should have been permitted to keep walking, local news outlets reported. “I don’t think there was a crime, enough to stop him for reasonable suspicion,” said Durden, who was brought into the trial as an expert on use-of-force training, according to the AP....

According to the ACLU, Robert Williams was arrested on his own front lawn in front of his two young daughters and held under police custody for 30 hours after he was wrongfully arrested on January 9. Police had been looking for a “watch thief,” the ACLU said in an account of events shared with Newsweek. After running images captured through the watch shop’s surveillance feed, Williams’ driver’s license was matched with the footage, along with a number of others....

Twin Valley Middle High School in Whitingham, Vermont is the subject of the ACLU’s complaint, which was filed on behalf of the unnamed student, who was the only Black student in the school’s 10th grade. The complaint claimed that the school did nothing to protect the student against several alleged instances of racist bullying from 2020 to 2021. The incidents cited in the complaint included a student allegedly calling the student a slur in front of their teacher in December 2020 and a group of students allegedly directing the Nazi salute toward her while yelling the same slur in February 2021....

Augustine Tanner-Ihm told the BBC that he was left in “deep pain” after learning of the reason behind his rejection for the curacy role in the south of England. He received an email rejection in response to his application, which told him that “despite some of his genuine gifts”, they were not confident that there was a sufficient match" between him and the particular requirements of that post. The email read: “Firstly, the demographic of the parish is monochrome white working class, where you might feel uncomfortable....

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), although Black women and White women get breast cancer at about the same rate, the breast cancer mortality rate is 40% higher for Black women. Additionally, Black women are more likely to have more aggressive breast cancers with a higher chance of recurrence. “Beyond the fact that breast cancer tends to be a more biologically aggressive disease in African American [women] than in White women, this disparity in breast cancer mortality also reflects social barriers that disproportionately affect African American women," Ogori Kalu, MD, a general surgeon at Saint Michael’s Medical Center in New Jersey, tells Verywell....

BE is a rare defect, affecting around four in every 100,000 births, and is more common in males than in females.

The combination is known as bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex (BEEC). The article describes the symptoms and causes of bladder exstrophy and how the defect is diagnosed and treated....

As he has been since the early days after 9/11, Blair is determined to exert influence on Bush’s foreign policy. The public perception in Britain, rightly or wrongly, is that up to now he’s failed to have much impact on the president. Blair has announced that he will be stepping down as prime minister by next summer. As it stands, the black stain of the war in Iraq badly mars his legacy of nearly a decade in office....

Like President Bush and the vast majority of the country, I’m for a targeted war that tries hard to avoid civilian casualties, Islamic blowback and other unintended consequences. And I’ll defend forever the right of anyone to say any stupid thing without being fired or hassled by the authorities. But some of what’s being said can truly try one’s patience, and I’m not just talking about Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson’s “Blame Homosexuality First” approach to explaining the attack....

My transformation began at 0900 hours on the beach, one recent weekend, in a skimpy black Speedo. No American would be caught dead in one, except perhaps tri-athletes and the most avant metrosexuals. But I’ve never felt safer in a disguise that offered so little ultraviolet protection. Political camouflage has become my obsession. Off the beach, I wear prefaded jeans by Faconnable, low-cut Pumas and football jerseys sporting my new alias, ZIDANE....

Following weeks of backlash from gamers and government officials alike, Blizzard President J. Allen Brack took the stage during opening ceremony proceedings to tackle the issue directly. “Blizzard had the opportunity to bring the world together in a tough Hearthstone esports moment about a month ago, and we did not.
