A federal judge on Nov. 29 halted the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for health care workers, although the ruling only applies to 10 states. The mandate, promulgated earlier this month by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), required approximately 17 million workers to get a jab or face termination. But CMS lacks the authority to impose such a broad mandate, U.S. District Judge Matthew Schelp, a Trump appointee, ruled. “Plaintiffs are likely to succeed in their argument that Congress has not provided CMS the authority to enact the regulation at issue here,” Schelp wrote in a 32-page ruling that granted a…

Lionel Messi scooped up his seventh Ballon d’Or on Monday evening. Bayern Munich superstar Robert Lewandowski kept it classy after Lionel Messi pipped him to the coveted Ballon d’Or on Monday evening. Many felt as though the striker could, or perhaps should have won himself, particularly after missing out in 2020 when the Covid pandemic led to the award being scrapped. As it happened, Messi extended his untouchable record in Ballon d’Or terms by notching his seventh award in Paris. That takes him two clear of Cristiano Ronaldo, his nearest challenger over the course of his career, who had to settle…

President Donald Trump and his legal team are setting the stage for a Supreme Court battle over executive privilege as quarrels between the former president and Democrats in the House of Representatives intensify. The battle began following the creation of the House Jan. 6 committee, which was formed in June in a mostly party-line vote, as all but two Republicans—Reps. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) and Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.)—voted against forming the commission. The committee is led almost exclusively by Democrats, with Kinzinger and Cheney the only Republicans sitting on the panel. Trump encouraged his former staff to refuse subpoenas issued by…

After 396 years, the sun has set on the British monarchy’s reign over the Caribbean island of Barbados, with a handover ceremony at midnight on Monday marking the birth of the world’s newest republic.

Guests in the square applauded as Dame Sandra Mason was sworn in as president by the chief justice and took the oath of allegiance…

People who have recovered from COVID-19 are at little risk of contracting the disease again, according to a study published last week. Researchers in Qatar examined a cohort of over 353,000 people using national databases that contain information about patients with polymerase-chain-reaction-confirmed infections. The studied population contracted COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, between Feb. 28, 2020, and April 28, 2021. Reinfections were counted if a person tested positive at least 90 days after their first infection. After excluding approximately 87,500 people with a vaccination record, researchers found that those with immunity due to having recovered from COVID-19 had little…

Universities in England risk breaking competition laws if they add loopholes letting them withdraw offers from students at the last minute if courses are oversubscribed, ministers and regulators have told vice-chancellors. For the last two years, the surge in A-level grades allowed more students than forecast to meet their offer targets, and some universities withdrew offers when it became clear that courses would be oversubscribed. In a concerted push by the government, the Office for Students (OfS), the higher education regulator for England and the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), universities have been told to remove the oversubscription clauses from their offers or face…

U.S. electric vehicle giant Tesla Inc., which has had great strides in the Chinese market, is under mounting data scrutiny from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) despite its engagement with regulators. Tesla founder Elon Musk on Nov. 2 posted on Twitter a poem titled “Humankind,” followed by a 4-line original quote from an ancient poem well-known to Chinese readers, which can be roughly translated in English as the following: The bean stems are burning hot, While the seeds are weeping in the boiling pot. “As outgrowths from the same root,” the seeds protest, “Why thou leave us in such a disastrous rest?” The…

Nissan is to invest almost 2tn yen (£13.2bn) into vehicle electrification over the next five years, including a key role for its plant in Sunderland, in its battle with rival traditional carmakers and specialists such as Tesla. The Japanese car manufacturer, which launched one of the world’s first mass market eclectic vehicles (EVs) with its Leaf model a decade ago, said it would introduce 23 “electrified” vehicle models by 2030, with 15 of them fully electric. The remainder would be hybrids. “The role of companies to address societal needs is increasingly heightened,” said the Nissan chief executive, Makoto Uchida. “We…
