SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — An airport shootout in Chile’s capital killed a security officer and an alleged robber Wednesday in what authorities said was an attempted heist of more than $32 million in cash aboard a plane from Miami.Around 10 heavily armed robbers were able to skirt security measures to reach the runway at the Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport, where a Latam airlines aircraft had $32.5 million in cash that was being transferred to an armored truck, Interior Subsecretary Manuel Monsalve said.There was a shootout between the would-be robbers and security officials that killed an employee of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, or DGAC, as well as an alleged assailant.The other robbers fled. Two burned vehicles were later found nearby.“The brave action by the DGAC officials frustrated the robbery,” Monsalve said, noting that the would-be robbers were “highly organized” and “very armed.”Video posted on social media appeared to show bullet holes in a Delt...Damar Hamlin, Miami Dolphins, American Heart Association team up to promote CPR training, heart health

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 08:23:20 GMT
Eurostat data released Thursday shows 4.09 million babies were born in the European Union in 2021 — a 20,000 increase from 2020.This uptick is the first increase in the number of births in the EU since 2016.Although the lockdown measures implemented throughout Europe during the COVID-19 pandemic had led to speculation as to whether these would lead to a birth surge, birth rates actually decreased in 2020, before rising again in 2021 in some countries. This caused some scientists to believe people had simply waited for the initial shock of the pandemic to pass to have children. The fertility rate (the average number of children a woman is projected to have over her lifetime) also increased for the first time since 2016, with an EU average of 1.53 live births per woman — up from 1.50 in 2020. France had the highest fertility rate in Europe, with 1.84 live births per woman, while Malta had the lowest at 1.13 live births per woman.French judge drops embezzlement case against Sylvie Goulard
Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 08:23:20 GMT
PARIS — A French judge dropped a case Thursday against former French minister and ex-MEP Sylvie Goulard involving misuse of public funds, AFP reported citing people close to the matter. Back in 2019, Goulard was French President Emmanuel Macron’s top pick as EU commissioner, but the European Parliament rejected her appointment following two parliamentary hearings in which she faced questions on allegations that she used a European Parliament assistant for domestic political work. Her work for a U.S. think tank as well as the size of her portfolio were also called into question.At that time, several MEPs cited “integrity” and “ethical aspects” as reasons to reject her as a potential commissioner. Others suspected that the European People’s Party (EPP) wanted to exact revenge on Macron after he torpedoed EPP group leader Manfred Weber’s campaign for the European Commission presidency.After Goulard’s rejection, Macron backed Thierry Breto...‘Over my dead body’: How Georgian protesters beat a Russian-style legal threat to their freedoms
Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 08:23:20 GMT
TBILISI — Victory didn’t come easy for Georgians, who faced down riot police and water cannon over the past two nights to overturn a Russian-inspired law that they feared would derail their prospects of an EU future. While more than three-quarters of Georgians support NATO and EU membership, protesters believe that the ruling Georgian Dream party is deliberately trying to scupper that westward political trajectory in order not to rock the boat with the Kremlin. The latest trigger for anti-government demonstrations was the government’s (very Russian-looking) bill on identifying “foreign agents” — legislation that many feared could be used to muzzle journalists and civic activists in the run-up to elections expected next year. Davit Korbaia, a 39-year-old lawyer, came to the protests with his son upon his back, wrapped in a Georgian flag. “I came for my kid’s better, European future. For our independence,” he said on Wednesday night. Upset that he wasn’t abl...85-year-old woman to appear in court in connection with Acton hit-and-run that injured teen
