As he addressed Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House, US President Donald Trump downplayed the necessity of a ceasefire. After the meetings on Monday, Trump made hints about a three-way phone call with Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin.
South Korea accounts for the majority of the world’s adoptee diaspora. Due to the country’s racist laws, there are some mixed-race children who were forced into adoption. The search for a home by one Black adoptee reveals shocking truths about the past of tens of thousands of foreign adoptees.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, has met with Donald Trump and European leaders to discuss ending the conflict in Ukraine. Vladimir Putin and the US president had a one-on-one conversation last week.
Dominion Voting Systems filed a lawsuit with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Monday, and Newsmax made the announcement in a filing.
Newsmax stated in the settlement agreement that it had paid Dominion $ 27 million on Friday and would receive $ 20 million in 2026 and the final $ 20 million in 2027.
In 2023, Fox News, owned by Rupert Murdoch, settled for a similar defamation lawsuit for a sum of $787.5 million.
Trump pledged in a social media post on Monday to stop using mail-in ballots and other voting machines, including those provided by Dominion and other businesses. However, how the Republican president would achieve that was ambiguous.
In 2021, Dominion sued Newsmax for defamation because it claimed Joe Biden had rigged the 2020 US presidential election, which was won by Democrat Joe Biden. Damage was requested by Domino for $1.6 billion.
Newsmax stated in a statement that it had chosen to settle because it didn’t think the trial would be fair.
Judge Eric Davis of the Delaware Superior Court had previously ruled that Newsmax’s coverage of Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems was based on false information it provided about the business and its equipment. However, Davis said he would leave it up to a jury to decide whether or not that was done with malice and, if so, how much money did Dominion receive from Newsmax in damages.
The Company was led to believe it would not receive a fair trial by the pattern of judicial decisions, according to Newsmax. Newsmax chose to settle the case because of these rulings and other constraints.
The company stated that “Newsmax has always maintained that its reporting was not defamatory and that its coverage was in line with accepted journalistic standards.”
We continue to support our coverage because it is fair, balanced, and conducted in accordance with journalism industry standards.
However, Newsmax officials’ internal correspondence reveals that they were aware of Trump’s unsubstantiated accusations of electoral fraud.
In addition to handling the Dominion-Fox News case, Davis also ruled that Fox News knew the allegations were false, and that the network repeatedly lied to Trump’s supporters about his 2020 defeat.
There is no proof that Trump’s fraud accusations are true, and the lawsuits against Fox and Newsmax demonstrate how some of the president’s biggest supporters knew they were false. William Barr, Trump’s attorney general, claimed there was no proof of widespread fraud.
The Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) has declared that the strike, which has resulted in the dismissal of 10,000 members of the cabin crew, is unlawful because the strikers ignored the workers’ orders to go back to work.
Following a previous directive that employees must return to work on Sunday at 2 p.m. ET (18:00 GMT), the regulatory board made the call on Monday.
The airline’s cabin crew argued for a negotiated resolution, claiming that binding arbitration would relieve the airline of its pressure. According to workers, the proposed wage increases are insufficient to match the federal minimum wage and keep up with inflation.
The attendants are also asking for compensation for tasks like boarding passengers while working on the ground. They are no longer paid when aircraft are moving, which has sparked some vocal Canadian support on social media.
The cabin crews should be “compensated equitably at all times,” according to Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Carney pressed for a resolution, noting that “practically hundreds of thousands of Canadians and visitors to our countries are being hampered by this action.”
The airline, which is a member of the global Star Alliance network, typically transports 130, 000 passengers per day during the airline’s current peak summer travel season.
Due to the fact that Air Canada’s aircraft were still grounded on Monday, the company suspended its third-quarter and annual profit projections.
The union vowed to keep on the strike and to “negotiate a fair deal” with Air Canada.
The government has two options right now: requesting an expedited hearing and requesting the court to impose the return order.
The minority government might also attempt to pass legislation that would require the consent of political rivals and approval of both the Canadian Parliament’s breaks until September 15.
According to Dionne Pohler, professor of dispute resolution at Cornell University’s Industrial and Labor Relations School, “the government will be very reticent to be too heavy-handed because the Supreme Court has ruled that governments must be very cautious when removing the right to strike, even for public sector workers who may be deemed essential.”
According to Pohler, encouraging bargaining might be a second option.
Requests for comment were not responded to by the government.
The CIRB ordered a binding arbitration order on Saturday, and Carney’s liberal government responded by putting an end to the strike. The order was requested by Air Canada, but unionized flight attendants objected to it, and the CIRB, an independent administrative tribunal that interprets and applies Canada’s labor laws, did so.
It is unusual for a union to defy a CIRB order, but the previous government, led by former prime minister Justin Trudeau, intervened last year to stop rail and dock strikes that threatened to cripple the economy.
Over the weekend, travelers at Toronto Pearson International Airport expressed confusion and frustration over the availability of their flights.
Francesca Tondini, an Italian who lives nearby and is a 50-year-old man, said she was in favor of the union despite not knowing when she would be able to return home.
She grinned and pointed to the striking attendants, “They are right.”
How airlines compensate flight attendants is a factor in the conflict between the cabin crew and Air Canada. The majority of them, including Air Canada, only pay them when aircraft are moving.
Flight attendants in both Canada and the United States have asked for pay for hours worked, including for tasks like boarding passengers, in recent contract negotiations.
The clock must be set for paying flight attendants when passengers board according to new labor agreements between American Airlines and Alaska Airlines.
American flight attendants now receive pay for the extra hours that pass between flights. The cabin crews on United Airlines, who rejected a tentative contract agreement last month, also want a similar clause.
As of 12 p.m. (GMT) at 12 p.m. on the market, Air Canada’s stock had fallen 1.6%. Another Star Alliance member, United Airlines, which serves several important Canadian cities and does not have a striking cabin crew, is up 1.4 percent.
Even after promising to put an end to the conflict in his first 24 hours of office, US President Trump has repeatedly changed his mind regarding the Ukraine conflict. He and Russian President Putin are pushing for a peace deal that ignores a ceasefire eight months later, which puts them in conflict with Kyiv and its allies.
