  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file

Robert Fico, chairman of the Slovak Social Democracy (SMER), during an interview at the party headquarters in Bratislava, Slovakia, on Tuesday, April 25, 2023. A populist leader, sympathetic to Putin’s Russia, could be about to win elections in Slovakia Slovakia heads to the polls on Saturday for a general election that threatens to further fracture European Union support for Ukraine. The main reason? A front-running contender to be its next prime minister has fiercely criticized Ukraine and the EU’s anti-Russian position on the war, and vowed not to send “any arms or ammunition” to its eastern neighbor. The central European country of 5.4 million people has been a staunch supporter of Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022. However, Smer (translated as Direction in English) party leader Robert Fico — who served two prior periods as prime minister, from 2006 to 2010 and 2012 to 2018 — has vowed to change that. It is set to be a close-run contest. A poll

New York City residents received a stern warning to vacate their basement apartments and prepare for higher ground as post-tropical cyclone Ophelia continued its assault on the East Coast with relentless rainfall on Sunday. This recent addition to the hurricane season's roster is gradually losing steam, having landed near Emerald Isle, North Carolina with 70mph winds on Saturday. After battering New Jersey with 10ft waves and heavy rainfall, Ophelia is now wreaking havoc on New York City. In addition, Washington, DC officials are also on edge, preparing for possible floods by fortifying flood-prone areas with sandbags.

  What's the truth about Melania and Donald Trump's marriage? For the couple, first came love, then came marriage, then came an unexpected presidency. But being one of the nation's most-watched couples has not been easy for the Trumps; their union had been criticized because of their 24-year age gap and Donald's track record of divorce and alleged sex scandals.  Donald and Melania's love story began in New York, where the billionaire businessman met the Slovenian model in a nightclub. Although Donald is known for his gregarious nature and Melania is considered shy, the pair shared an undeniable chemistry from the start. Five years after their fateful first encounter, the pair said "I do," and a year later, they expanded their family with the birth of Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron Trump. Donald and Melania's relationship was put to the test during Donald's run for presidency, as allegations emerged that he acted inappropriately with other

Credit card companies are racking up losses at the fastest pace in almost 30 years, outside of the Great Financial Crisis, according to Goldman Sachs. Credit card losses bottomed in September 2021, and while initial increases were likely reversals from stimulus, they have been rapidly rising since the first quarter of 2022. Since that time, it’s an increasing rate of losses only seen in recent history during the recession of 2008. It is far from over, the firm predicts. Losses currently stand at 3.63%, up 1.5 percentage points from the bottom, and Goldman sees them rising another 1.3 percentage points to 4.93%. This comes at a time when Americans owe more than $1 trillion on credit cards, a record high, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. “We think delinquencies could continue to underperform seasonality through the middle of next year and don’t see losses peaking until late 2024 / early 2025 for most issuers,” analyst Ryan Nash wrote in a note Friday.

Mark Cuban has “a secret that all successful people know,” he says: Beware of anyone who claims they can sell you a foolproof strategy for making easy money. “When you see somebody on social media telling you how they’re going to make you money, they’re lying,” the billionaire entrepreneur and investor told his 940,000-plus TikTok followers in a recent post on the social media platform, while sharing his “tip of the day. The reason is simple, Cuban said: “If they were really that good, they would be making themselves rich and not sharing [their strategy].” From there, he transitioned into advice. “When you have a great idea, when you have a way to make lots of money, the No. 1 thing you are not going to do is sell [it] to anybody else.

  The French Catholic Church is facing new accusations of a sexual abuse scandal within Paris’s Foreign Missions Society, an organisation dedicated to spreading Christianity overseas. As a criminal investigation has been opened into accusations against three clergymen from the group, a FRANCE 24 investigation by journalists Karina Chabour and Julie Dungelhoeff sheds light on the allegations against the society. ADVERTISING Another scandal that the  Catholic Church  could have done without: three criminal inquiries have opened in  France  into two priests and one bishop accused of sexual abuse.   The three men accused are all from the  Paris  Foreign Missions Society (MEP), an organisation founded in France in the 17th century to convert overseas populations in Asia to Catholicism.

  Mahsa Amini  was the same age as me – 22. Like me, she came from a provincial town. I grew up in Baluchestan. Her death made me very angry. I saw myself in her, and right away I wanted to  protest . Life was already very difficult for me in  Tehran , but I felt safer there than in Baluchestan. To know this kind of thing was also happening in the capital was awful. I was married at the age of 16. It wasn’t a consensual marriage. I left as soon as I could. Without my husband knowing, I prepared for the entrance exams at the University of Tehran and I was accepted into the psychology programme. I ran away to the capital. He tried to take me back by force, but with the help of some lawyers that I met at university, we managed to get him to give up and I was finally able to get a divorce after three years. 'I was so beside myself that I threw away my veil' I thought when coming to live in Tehran that women would be considered equals here, that life would be simpler. I had put the

Amid fears that it might evade existing vaccines, Pirola has caused an uptick in cases across Europe and has now officially landed in the UK. To address the growing concern, the UK Government has accelerated its autumn booster program by a month, and some experts are advocating for the return of face masks in healthcare settings to safeguard vulnerable individuals. Despite only a few dozen confirmed cases in the UK, it's essential to understand the implications of this new Covid strain. In this article, we'll delve into what you need to know about Pirola. Q: Why is there so much talk about Pirola when new Covid strains emerge regularly?

Smoke pours from the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center after they were hit by two hijacked airliners in a terrorist attack in New York City, Sept. 11, 2001. Two victims who perished in the World Trade Center have been identified more than two decades after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, New York City’s chief medical examiner said Friday. The names of the victims, a man and a woman, are being withheld at the request of their families, officials said. They are the 1,648th and 1,649th victims whose remains have been identified since 2001. The remains of 1,104 victims, or 40% of those who died in the attacks, still have not been found nearly 22 years after al-Qaida terrorists hijacked commercial airlines and crashed them into the Twin Towers in lower Manhattan. The towers were destroyed in the attacks, leaving more than 2,700 people dead. Dr. Jason Graham, New York City’s chief medical examiner, described the painstaking effort to identify the victims’ remains as “t
