A New York City family is suing a funeral home for mistakenly sending their mother’s casket to another country for burial. Her family, who lives in Queens, was preparing for the funeral in Ecuador when they saw a video posted on TikTok that shocked them. The video showed a family in Guatemala shocked to find a woman’s body in the casket at the funeral for their 38-year-old son. I had to deal with the health department, the police, a lot of big, big processed to export the body to a different country,” said Minchala. When the family asked the funeral home about the mix up, they claim the funeral home denied it.

But punishing it as rape would “severely impact the conjugal relationship” and “have a far-reaching effect on the institution of marriage.”Classifying marital rape as a crime, “can be arguably considered to be excessively harsh and therefore, disproportionate,” the government said. The government’s written affidavit is its clearest position yet on the issue of marital rape in India. “It speaks to India’s acceptance of sexual violence in our culture,” said Ntasha Bhardwaj, a criminal justice and gender scholar. Arguing against child marital rape in that case was senior advocate Jayna Kothari. “It’s not like floodgates are going to be opened with hundreds of marital rape cases [being reported].

The Nobel Prize in literature was awarded Thursday to South Korean author Han Kang for what the Nobel committee called “her intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life.”Mats Malm, permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy’s Nobel Committee, announced the prize in Stockholm. Han, 53, won the International Booker Prize in 2016 for “The Vegetarian,” an unsettling novel in which a woman’s decision to stop eating meat has devastating consequences. The literature prize has long faced criticism that it is too focused on European and North American writers of style-heavy, story-light prose. On Wednesday, three scientists who discovered powerful techniques to decode and even design novel proteins were awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry. The prize carries a cash award of 11 million Swedish kronor ($1 million) from a bequest left by the award’s creator, Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel.

Country music superstar Garth Brooks has named the woman who, as Jane Roe, accused him of rape in a lawsuit last week. In an amended complaint filed in federal court in Mississippi on Tuesday, Brooks’ lawyers publicized the accuser’s name. And in another filing, they said that Brooks “is the victim of a shakedown” and that the woman “flouted” the authority of a judge in a related case. Out of spite and to punish, he publicly named a rape victim,” the woman’s attorneys said. She did not use her name, but she named Brooks.

By Indian law, rape victims cannot be named. Protests and strikesIndia has struggled for years to tackle high rates of violence against women, with a number of high-profile rape cases drawing international attention. Doctors and social activists carry posters during a rally to condemn the rape and murder of a medic in Kolkata on October 2, 2024. Despite these changes, rape cases remain prevalent in the country, with victims and advocates saying the government is still not doing enough to protect women and punish attackers. According to India’s National Crime Records Bureau, a total of 31,516 rape cases were recorded in 2022, an average of 86 cases per day.

Garth Brooks, the country superstar, has named the woman who, as Jane Roe, accused him of rape and sexual assault in a bombshell lawsuit last week. In a court filing in Mississippi on Tuesday, lawyers for Mr. Brooks portrayed the star as “the victim of a shakedown” and said the woman’s lawyers had “flouted” the authority of a judge in a related case. Litigation over the woman’s accusations began last month with a lawsuit that was filed anonymously — as John Doe v. Jane Roe — in federal court in Mississippi. In a response, lawyers for the woman said they intended to sue the man in California, saying that “Ms. Roe respectfully requests that she may commence her California action as she intended to do, and use Mr. Doe’s name, absent objection from this Honorable Court.”

In her new memoir, Melania Trump says she backs abortion rights but leaves some gray area as to whether she supports restrictions. "There are several legitimate reasons for a woman to choose to have an abortion. For instance, if her life is at risk, rape, a congenital birth defect, plus severe medical conditions," Melania Trump wrote. The presidential campaign of her husband, former President Donald Trump, directed questions to Melania Trump aide Madison Porter, who did not return a request seeking comment. In interviews about her book, Melania Trump said that her husband was aware of her position early in their relationship.

One in 8 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in their lifetimes, according to the American Cancer Society. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for women in the United States, with 42,000 women dying every year from this cancer. Women need to know when to start screening for breast cancer. We have been referring primarily to women because breast cancer is far more common among women. In addition, all people assigned female at birth should follow recommendations for breast cancer screening as noted above.

Sen. JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee, confirmed to reporters Saturday that former President Donald Trump is "consistent" in his views on defunding Planned Parenthood. A journalist asked Vance, R-Ohio, whether a future Trump administration would defund Planned Parenthood, the reproductive health care group that has garnered opposition from many conservatives for its pro-abortion-rights positions. “On the question of defunding Planned Parenthood, look, I mean our view is we don’t think that taxpayers should fund late-term abortions," Vance said after Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The Trump campaign and Planned Parenthood did not immediately respond to requests for further comment Sunday night. In 2016, then-candidate Trump said in a debate that he would end federal funding for Planned Parenthood, saying he would “defund it because I’m pro-life.”

Former first lady Melania Trump on Sunday defended her beliefs on abortion, which she detailed in an upcoming memoir and which seem to be at odds with those of her husband, former President Donald Trump. “[Donald Trump] knew my position and my beliefs since the day we met. I think I don’t want government in my personal business,” Melania Trump told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo in a pretaped interview that aired Sunday. Without a doubt there is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right that all women possess from birth,” Melania Trump said in the video. And in August, Trump told NBC News that Florida’s six-week abortion ban, which was signed into law by GOP Gov.

Flames and smoke rise in an area targeted by an Israeli air strike on Beirut's southern suburbs, on October 6. Fadel Itani/AFP/Getty ImagesWe were preparing to go live on air when the first airstrike hit the southern suburbs of Beirut shortly after 11 p.m. Saturday – kicking off a night of intense and constant Israeli strikes. About 30 minutes earlier, I had been sat with a young woman who lives in the southern suburbs, when our phones flashed with a post on X. Like many residents of one of the most densely populated parts of the country, she had fled her home as Israeli strikes intensified in recent days, leaving with very little. Saturday night’s strikes were among the most sustained and intense I have witnessed hitting the southern suburbs since this war began.

Editor’s Note: Help is available if you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts or mental health matters. Globally, the International Association for Suicide Prevention and Befrienders Worldwide have contact information for crisis centers around the world. AP —Advocacy groups behind a so-called suicide capsule said Sunday they have suspended the process of taking applications to use it — which numbered over 370 last month — as a criminal investigation into its first use in Switzerland is completed. On the same day as the woman died, Swiss Health Minister Elisabeth Baume-Schneider told parliament that use of the Sarco would not be legal. “Only after the Sarco was used was it learned that Ms. Baume-Schneider had addressed the issue,” the advocacy groups said in the statement Sunday.

Former first lady Melania Trump appeared to discuss her views on women's rights Thursday in a video on X, one day after publication of an excerpt from her coming memoir in which she reportedly takes a strong stance in support of abortion rights. The Guardian reported Wednesday that Trump defends abortion rights in her memoir, scheduled for release Tuesday. Reached for comment about the former first lady's views on abortion, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung pointed to Donald Trump's remarks in the interview. Abortion is not the source of their freedom and liberation.”The former first lady's new position also prompted backlash from reproductive rights groups, which pointed to Donald Trump's record on abortion. She’s been a champion of reproductive freedom her whole career."

The plaintiff’s lawsuit, which was filed in mid-September, prompted his accuser to fire back this week, opposing the celebrity’s efforts to stay anonymous. “Our civil court system is designed to resolve disputes and provide injured parties a means of redress,” Roe’s filing states. Doe said that Roe has attempted to extort him for millions of dollars through “untrue, lewd allegations” and “outrageous conduct.”“Defendant’s allegations are not true,” Doe’s lawsuit states. Doe’s suit asks the court to declare Roe’s sexual misconduct allegations untrue, pay compensatory and punitive damages and be prevented from further publicizing the claims. According to Roe’s filing, the celebrity filed his lawsuit after he learned that his accuser was planning to publicly file her own lawsuit, which came after she attempted to settle privately.

CNN —Nearly two months ago, CNN reached out to Melania Trump’s book publisher to request an interview with the former first lady ahead of her upcoming memoir. After several exchanges about a possible interview, the publisher sent an unusual demand last week: an interview would cost $250,000. Melania Trump’s spokesperson declined comment. Spokespeople for ABC, NBC and CBS declined to comment on whether they received a similar request for payment from Trump’s publisher. But in this case, the Trump campaign hasn’t been involved in Melania Trump’s book rollout.

Without a doubt, there is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right that all women possess from birth, individual freedom. What does my body, my choice really mean?” the former first lady said in a video posted on X. Her defense of abortion rights puts her at odds with her husband’s position roughly a month from Election Day. Former President Donald Trump regularly takes credit for overturning Roe v. Wade, which eliminated the constitutional right to an abortion and caused some states to enact strict abortion restrictions. Trump said he would veto a federal abortion ban and that the issue should be left up to the states to legislate.

CNN —A painting discovered by a junk dealer in the basement of an Italian villa six decades ago is actually the work of Pablo Picasso and could sell for millions, according to experts. At just 24, Lo Rosso didn’t appreciate that the signature in the upper left corner of the artwork that read simply “Picasso” meant anything, his son Andrea Lo Rosso told CNN on Tuesday. The older Lo Rosso, who died in 2021, stuck it in a cheap frame and gave it to his wife — much to her chagrin, his son said. Finally, last month Cinzia Altieri, a graphologist for a patrimony court in Milan, was able to certify the Picasso signature as authentic. “I’m happy but let’s wait to toast, there is still one step to take before we consider this incredible story over,” Andrea Lo Rosso said.

A coalition of reproductive rights organizations is unleashing a $15 million advertising campaign backing abortion rights as Arizona faces a key ballot measure on the issue this fall. The ad blitz from Arizona for Abortion Access includes broadcast, streaming, radio and mail advertisements that will blanket the state through Election Day — and as early voting kicks off in the state on Oct. 9. The group has spent about $2 million on advertising in the last two months, according to the tracking firm AdImpact. The ad is Arizona for Abortion Access’ second spot on the Arizona airwaves. Abortion is legal in Arizona up to 15 weeks and then beyond that, for medical emergencies, any medical emergency,” Dahlgren said.

The central clash in the pivotal Senate race in Montana — and the fight for control of the Senate itself — was on full display Monday night as Democratic Sen. Jon Tester and Republican Tim Sheehy faced off in a heated debate. Like other vulnerable Senate Democrats, Tester tried to make it personal — touting his bipartisan bona fides, highlighting his own connections to his red-leaning state and suggesting his opponent cannot be trusted. Montana is the party’s next top target, with Tester running for re-election in a state Trump won by 16 points in 2020. James Richmond, 50, an IT consultant and voter in Helena, pointed to those comments in explaining why he plans to support Sheehy, despite supporting Tester’s work for veterans. An AARP poll conducted in late August found Sheehy leading Tester by 6 points, 55% to 49%.

CNN —A Georgia judge has struck down the state’s six-week abortion ban, declaring it unconstitutional. In a ruling issued on Monday, Judge Robert McBurney said Georgia’s Living Infants Fairness and Equality Act, or LIFE Act, infringes on a woman’s state constitutional rights. When originally signed into law, the LIFE Act criminalized most abortions after an embryo generates detectable cardiac activity, typically around six weeks into a pregnancy. When the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022 and ended a national right to abortion, it opened the door for state bans. Democrats argue such deaths were a predictable outcome of laws that took effect after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

Olga, who did not want to give her last name for privacy reasons, said the proposed bill doesn’t change her plans. And the Russian parliament gave its initial backing Wednesday to legislation that would ban the adoption of Russian children by people from countries that allow gender transition. “It’s not because I read ‘childfree’ information or someone tried to persuade me not to have children. It’s just that I decided it for myself,” said Panarina, 40, adding that the proposed legislation would not change her mind. For her, the proposed legislation is not about women’s rights per se, Panarina said, as much as the government’s effort to defend Russia’s traditional way of life.

Yang Yimin / University of Chinese Academy of SciencesThe Bronze Age coffin was discovered during the excavation of the Xiaohe Cemetery in 2003. The fact that those items included chunks of kefir cheese alongside the body showed that “cheese was important for their life,” she added. They identified the cheese as kefir cheese, which is made by fermenting milk using kefir grains. The journey of the cheese took them to tracing the journey of the kefir culture, which is used to make the final cheese. Asked if the kefir cheese was still edible and if she would try it, Fu was less enthusiastic.
