The presumptive Republican nominee’s lawyers made a long-shot bid for the dismissal of his first criminal trial before the jury has even been asked to deliberate. And he implored Merchan not to hand jurors a case so reliant on testimony from Cohen, a confessed liar.

Gary Graham, a veteran actor best known for portraying Ambassador Soval on the television show “Star Trek: Enterprise” and the detective Matthew Sikes in the “Alien Nation” franchise, died on Monday at his home in Spokane Valley, Wash. His death was confirmed by his wife, Becky Graham, who said the cause was cardiac arrest. In 1989, Fox adapted it as a television show about extraterrestrials adjusting to life in Los Angeles and trying to blend in. Mr. Graham was cast as Matthew Sikes, the human detective that Mr. Caan had played in the film. He was paired with Eric Pierpoint as George Francisco, a “Newcomer,” as members of the alien species were called.

A female judge, a Black judge, and to talk about that case and compare it to Trump’s case was absurd,” retired California Superior Court Judge LaDoris Hazzard Cordell told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on CNN’s “The Source” Monday night. “And Judge Chutkan really took them up on it and said this case is entirely different. No comparison between Scottsboro Boys and Trump, judge saysTrump’s attorneys didn’t discuss the Supreme Court case during Monday’s hearing, but used the case to begin their August 17 brief to Chutkan. “The prompt disposition of criminal cases is to be commended and encouraged,” the 1932 Supreme Court ruling states. In addition to Powell, the trials also resulted in the 1935 Supreme Court case Norris v. Alabama, which paved the way for racially diverse juries.

REUTERS/Rebecca Cook/File PhotoMarch 6 (Reuters) - American carmakers will lean on technology to keep the horsepower wars going among their electric muscle cars, a tectonic shift from the big, rumbling motors of the past. GM and Dodge have both issued timelines to stop selling gas-powered muscle cars and replace them with electric variants that will wear the same badges. Dodge's Charger and Challenger muscle cars will not be made next year, while Chevrolet has laid out plans for an electric Corvette. Brands such as Polestar and Mercedes-Benz (MBGn.DE) have announced optional power upgrades to their sedans that improve acceleration and total horsepower via paid OTA (over-the-air) software updates. Dodge has said it will transition its muscle cars to an electric platform, and is working to differentiate those models.

☆ În Australia, goana după vaccin este un fel de „Jocurile foamei"; Oamenii caută să se vaccineze, nu există suficiente doze

Deficitul de vaccinuri a stârnit panică în rândul oamenilor care doresc să se vaccineze, a declarat Brad Hazzard, ministrul sănătății pentru cel mai populat stat australian, New South Wales. Guvernul conservator al țării a pariat pe vaccinul produs de AstraZeneca/Oxford și pe dezvoltarea unui vaccin autohton, care a eșuat, însă, în timpul studiilor. Australia a înregistrat 30.000 de cazuri de infectare cu SARs-CoV-2 de când a început pandemia. Săptămâna trecută, prim-ministrul Morrison a dezvăluit un plan în patru etape pentru a redeschide granițele Australiei și a pune capăt restricțiilor. Acest plan depinde, în mare parte, de rata de vaccinare în rândul populației generale din Australia.

Sursa foto: BBCSydney intră din nou în lockdown strict pentru două săptămâniStrăzile din Sydney erau aproape goale sâmbătă dimineaţă înaintea unui nou lockdown strict de două săptămâni, decretat pentru a limita răspândirea variantei Delta a noului coronavirus, mult mai contagioasă în raport cu tulpinile precedente, în cel mai mare oraş al Australiei, informează AFP, citată de Agerpres. „Varianta Delta se dovedeşte un inamic deosebit de redutabil", a declarat în faţa reprezentanţilor presei locale ministrul Sănătăţii din New South Wales, Brad Hazzard. „Când avem o variantă atât de contagioasă precum Delta, un lockdown de trei zile nu va funcţiona", a explicat Gladys Berejiklian, apărând decizia de a impune o carantină generalizată pentru două săptămâni. Timp de două săptămâni, locuitorii din Sydney vor putea să iasă din locuinţe doar ca să cumpere bunuri esenţiale, să beneficieze de îngrijiri medicale, să facă exerciţii fizice, să meargă la şcoală sau la muncă - în cazul în care nu pot lucra de la domiciliu. Orice persoană din ţară care s-a deplasat la Sydney începând de luni va trebui, de asemenea, să intre în autoizolare pentru 14 zile.
