Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts says the federal judiciary needs to do more to ensure judges don't participate in cases where they have financial conflicts of interest. Roberts made the comments as part of his annual report on the federal judiciary released Friday evening. Roberts pointed to a series of stories recently in The Wall Street Journal that found that 'between 2010 and 2018, 131 federal judges participated in a total of 685 matters involving companies in which they or their families owned shares of stock.' Federal judges and Supreme Court justices are required under a federal ethics law to recuse themselves from cases where they have a personal

Paris—Hundreds of empty, parked cars go up in flames in France each New Year’s Eve, set afire by young revelers, a much lamented tradition that appeared in decline this year, which saw only 874 vehicles burned. The number of cars burned overnight has declined compared to New Year’s Eve 2019 when 1,316 vehicles went up in flames, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said Saturday on Twitter.
Fewer arson attacks occurred because of massive police presence on cities’ streets this New Year’s Eve, enforcing law and order and restrictions on public gatherings and wearing face masks as infections driven by the fast-spreading omicron variant surge, he said.

Knoxville’s Planned Parenthood building was engulfed in flames early Friday morning and is a total loss. Fire crews were called about 6:40 a.m. as heavy smoke was coming out of the back of the structure, Assistant Chief Brent Seymour said. There were no injuries to report. The building was being renovated and the clinic had not been used in some time. Seymour said it’s too early in the investigation, with parts of the building unsafe to enter, to be able to say what caused the fire.(Snip)In a statement, Ashley Coffield, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Tennessee and North Mississippi, said the fire is a "huge loss."

New York City health officials have been using race to help decide how to allocate precious coronavirus testing resources, leaked emails from the agency show. In a conversation with reps for the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, City Councilman Joe Borelli’s office said constituents on Staten Island’s South Shore were having trouble getting tested at city facilities. “Our office has been receiving calls regarding the mobile NYC H+H testing sites such as Wolfes Pond Park. It appears many are waiting with delays, and are being turned away after waiting for hours,” wrote Borelli staffer Briana Nasti in a Dec. 22 email.

A 15-year-old boy stabbed to death in Croydon on Thursday has been named and pictured for the first time, after London's teenage murder toll hit a record high of 30 killings in a single year. Zaian Aimable-Lina was attacked just after 7pm in Ashburton Park, but died around half an hour later after paramedics weren't able to save him.
Yesterday, a 15-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of murder, before being released on bail to a date in late January.(Snip)And anti-knife crime campaigners warned not enough was being done to tackle the problem as they criticised what they called London's 'scattergun' approach.

White people infected with COVID in New York State—the hardest hit state in the country—are in jeopardy of being turned away from potential lifesaving treatments in favor of other more at-risk races because of a national shortage of two promising types of medical treatments. In a shocking memo sent out by the state's Health Department and approved by Gov. Kathy Hochul on Monday, white residents were told not to bother trying to get Pfizer's Paxlovid pill or monoclonal antibody treatments. 'Non-white race or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity should be considered a risk factor as longstanding systemic health and social inequities have contributed to an increased risk

The Federal Aviation Administration on Friday warned that even more flights could be canceled as its air traffic control staff are hit by COVID, even as airlines themselves nix thousands of flights because of staff felled by the Omicron variant. In a statement, the FAA said an increasing number of its employees are testing positive for the virus, CNN reports, which could force it to implement health and cleaning procedures that will reduce the number of available flights. 'To maintain safety, traffic and volume at some facilities could be reduced, which might result in delays during busy periods,' the administration warned.(Snip)Americans throughout the country are already facing thousands

A pair of NYPD housing cops sidelined for not taking action when a gunman opened fire inside a Brooklyn apartment were a foot from the door when two loud shots rang out, body camera footage obtained by the Daily News Thursday shows. Officers Waqar Zafar and Sergio Garcia-Castillo were inside the Bushwick Houses in East Williamsburg about 9 p.m. Sunday responding to a call for help when they were met by a man at the apartment door. “Is it all right if we go into the apartment?” one of the officers asked a moment before the loud shots can be heard, the video shows. “What was that?”

Gunshots again pierced the Portland night as nearly 100 shots were fired Tuesday night in the snow-dappled Parkrose Heights neighborhood. Portland police found almost 100 spent cartridges of multiple calibers, and, at a nearby restaurant, several parked cars with fresh bullet holes, after responding to reports of shots fired near Northeast 108th Avenue and Weidler Street around 9 p.m. Video taken by a residential surveillance system shows three people walking on the sidewalk, then bolting back the way they came as the first shots are fired. The group then doubles back again, as five more people run in the street close behind. Police said the group was likely “involved”

Jewish leaders are set to confront BBC chief Tim Davie to demand a public apology after an investigation revealed a 'colossal error' in its reporting of an anti-Semitic attack on Oxford Street. Earlier this month, a video emerged of a group of men hurling abuse and spitting at a group of Jewish teenagers sitting inside a bus, before banging on the windows as it pulled away.(Snip)But in its original report, BBC News said 'racial slurs about Muslims could be heard inside the bus', a claim criticised by the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism.

Ted Cruz has criticized the Biden administration after the president's Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci admitted there was a difference between the number of children hospitalized 'with COVID' as opposed to 'because of COVID.' Fauci told MSNBC on Wednesday night: 'If a child goes into the hospital, they automatically get tested for COVID and they get counted as a COVID-hospitalized individual, when, in fact, they may go in for a broken leg or appendicitis or something like that.(Snip)Cruz responded with a tweet saying: 'Now Fauci says this? Is this because pandemic politics have changed for the Biden admin?'
