President Joe Biden on April 10 signed a measure that ends the COVID-19 national emergency more than three years after it was enacted, the White House announced. HJ Res 7 passed through the Senate on March 29 by a 68-23 margin, with 21 Democrats joining 47 Republicans to support the measure. Four Republicans and five Democrats did not cast a vote—and 23 Democrats voted against the short resolution—which was introduced by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) last month and passed by the House 229-197 on Feb. 1. Eleven Democrats voted against the House measure. The legislation included a simple one-line description…

A senior Labour politician has said the Conservative record on crime and child sexual abuse prosecutions are “legitimate areas for public debate”, as the party released another attack ad focusing on Rishi Sunak’s wife’s non-dom status. The latest advert, featuring another picture of Sunak, reads: “Do you think it’s right to raise taxes for working people when your family benefited from a tax loophole? Rishi Sunak does.” The advert on Twitter, in the same style as the controversial ads on crime last week, adds: “A Labour government would freeze council tax this year, paid for by a proper windfall tax on oil…

Leicester City have turned to Dean Smith in a bid to preserve their Premier League status after appointing the former Aston Villa manager on a short-term contract until the end of the season. Leicester had pinpointed Jesse Marsch as a possible successor to Brendan Rodgers but after talks broke down over the weekend they accelerated talks with Smith, who was sacked by Norwich City in December, after failing to mount a challenge for automatic promotion. Leicester admire Graham Potter but it is understood he is keen to take a break from the game after being sacked by Chelsea. Smith, who will meet the Leicester…

Tony Danker, the boss of the Confederation of British Industry, has been dismissed with immediate effect after an investigation into complaints about his conduct in the workplace. The CBI hired a law firm to investigate him after the Guardian approached the business group about a formal complaint that was made in January, as well a number of alleged informal reports of concerns over his behaviour. The business lobby group said it wanted to make clear that Danker was not the subject of other complaints recently reported by the Guardian. Those other claims by more than a dozen women allege various forms of sexual…

Lawmakers in conservative states are responding to the surge in minors who identify as transgender with legislation banning child sex-change procedures. So far, lawmakers in 12 states have banned child sex-change procedures. Nineteen more states have similar bills moving through the process. Yet, in at least two states—California and Minnesota—lawmakers are building momentum to pass measures designed instead to make it easier for children to “transition” to another gender. The bills would allow law enforcement officers to remove children from homes where their chosen gender is not “affirmed.” Of the 19 states eyeing a ban on so-called “gender-affirming care,” 12…

NEW YORK—Donald Trump, former president and frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, pleaded not guilty in New York on April 4 to an unprecedented indictment brought by the Manhattan district attorney. News of the historic indictment on March 30 set off several days of media mania which culminated on April 4 in coverage of Trump’s motorcade ride through his beloved hometown en route to voluntarily surrender himself at the offices of New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg and hear the charges against him at the New York Supreme Court. In a return to the saga that began…

The former Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon has pulled out of a climate crisis event as police continue to investigate her husband in an inquiry into the Scottish National party’s finances. Sturgeon had been due to take part in a conversation with the Mexican diplomat Patricia Espinosa, the former chair of the UN framework convention on climate change, at Edinburgh Science festival. Peter Murrell, 58, was arrested on Wednesday morning in connection with a Police Scotland investigation into the spending of about £600,000 which was earmarked for Scottish independence campaigning. He was released from custody on Wednesday evening “pending further…

Erik ten Hag stated that “the campaign really begins in April and May” then watched as Manchester United’s second Premier League outing of this two-month mini-season ended in them avenging their 4-0 hammering at Brentford in August. The 2-0 defeat for Ten Hag’s men on Sunday at Newcastle was written up as Eddie Howe’s side having rebounded admirably from Carabao Cup final defeat to United racking up a third consecutive three points. Now, the wisdom went, it was the turn of the Reds to wobble, that reverse making it zero goals and only one point since the Wembley triumph. Not…

PALM BEACH, Fla.—Former President Donald Trump warned that the United States had sunk to the level of the “old Soviet Union” during a speech given from the ballroom of his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach on April 4, hours after pleading not guilty to felony charges brought New York prosecutors. “I never thought anything like this could happen in America,” Trump said, speaking to the cheers of a fired-up, invite-only audience of about 500 about two hours after returning from Manhattan. “The only crime that I’ve committed is to fiercely defend our nation,” he said. Bragg’s 34-count indictment, made public at…

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday ordered adult film actress Stormy Daniels to pay former President Donald Trump almost $122,000 in legal fees, stemming from a defamation lawsuit she filed in 2018 against Trump that was later dismissed. The civil lawsuit is separate from the unprecedented 34-count indictment accusing Trump of falsifying business records. Trump pleaded not guilty to the charges in a Manhattan court on Tuesday. The two cases, while separate, both involve Daniels, who was paid $130,000 for signing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) in 2016 ahead of the presidential election so that she would not speak about an alleged one-night affair…
