A Split From Trump Indicates That Flynn Is Moving to Cooperate With Mueller

Image
Trend News To Day in Google  - WASHINGTON — Lawyers for Michael T. Flynn, President Trump’s former national security adviser, notified the president’s legal team in recent days that they could no longer discuss the special counsel’s investigation, according to four people involved in the case — an indication that Mr. Flynn is cooperating with prosecutors or negotiating a deal. Mr. Flynn’s lawyers had been sharing information with Mr. Trump’s lawyers about the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, who is examining whether anyone around Mr. Trump was involved in Russian efforts to undermine Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. That agreement has been terminated, the four people said. Defense lawyers frequently share information during investigations, but they must stop when doing so would pose a conflict of interest. It is unethical for lawyers to work together when one client is cooperating with prosecutors and another is still under investigatio...

Abortion rates in US hit historic low, CDC report finds

Image
Trend News To Day in Google - Abortion rates in the United States have fallen to a historic low, according to the latest data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC report, which was released on Wednesday, found that the abortion rate nationwide dropped two percent between 2013 and 2014 amid the use of more effective contraception, the shuttering of many abortion clinics and an overall decline in pregnancy rates. “Following nationwide legalization of abortion in 1973, the total number, rate, and ratio of reported abortions increased rapidly, reaching the highest levels in the 1980s before decreasing at a slow yet steady pace,” the report states. “Nonetheless, throughout the years, the incidence of abortion has varied considerably across subpopulations and remains higher in some demographic groups than others.” Continuing the steady decline over the last few years, there were only 12.1 abortions per 1,000 women of childbearing age in 2014, comp...

Olympia Milk Bar at Stanmore closes due to building disrepair

Image
Trend News To Day in Google  - RESIDENTS of the Inner West are up in arms about the closure of one of the city’s oldest and most iconic milk bars. Stanmore’s Olympia Milk Bar on Parramatta Rd shut up shop this week after the council ordered vital repairs were needed to the collapsing ceiling and crumbling walls. And now regulars are offering to carry out the repairs themselves to save the much loved shop owned by Nicholas Fotiou, an affable Greek man in his 80s. A group has been set up on Facebook called the Olympia Milk Bar Fan Club discussing the probability of crowd-funding, contacting local tradesmen and architects to help save the iconic piece of history. One local posted on the page: “What a shame the council have shut him down!!! Yes the place needs work and is old but that the charm of it and what makes it so special.” Another concerned local commenced: “I visited Mr Fotio on Sunday evening for an extended time ... He talked like he is planning to do ...

Moeen Ali: I want people to think Muslims are not all bad

Trend News To Day in Google  - The 30-year-old will be a key player for England in Australia but no matter the result he'll still be an icon among British Asians. And the Muslim all-rounder from Birmingham says he wants to use his position to inspire people of all faiths. "I want people to look at me and be like, 'Muslims are not all bad people.'" In a Newsbeat and Asian Network documentary, Moeen openly talks about life as a Muslim playing cricket for England at a time when his religion's come under scrutiny. The 30-year-old's beliefs means you won't see him engaging with alcohol - so spraying champagne after an England victory is a no-go. "There's so much negativity about it in people's minds with the media etc. "I'm hoping I can inspire people of different faiths to make them know that they don't have to be afraid of practising whatever they want to. "And to be a cricket player or sports player or whatever the...

Golding Supercars promotion confirmed

Image
Trend News To Day in Google  - James Golding will step up to the Supercars main game full time next season, having been confirmed alongside Garth Tander at Garry Rogers Motorsport. Golding's promotion comes as little surprise, the GRM protege having been heavily tipped to take over the second seat at the Melbourne-based squad after narrowly missing out on a drive this year when Tander joined the team. Golding, who goes by the nickname 'Bieber' within the team, did still make his solo debut in the main game this season with a pair of Wildcard starts at Winton and Queensland Raceway, before partnering Tander at the three endurance races. He's also been working for the team as an apprentice mechanic. “I will be extremely proud to see Bieber race in Adelaide in just over three months time” said team owner Garry Rogers. “I have been watching him since his early teens in go-karts and as things progressed I offered him an apprenticeship a little over four ye...

Trend News To Day in Google  - Florida: US President Donald Trump gave a bullish Thanksgiving address to troops overseas on Thursday, hailing progress in Afghanistan and against ISIS, and telling them they were fighting for "something real," including a stock market at record highs and his promised "big, beautiful fat tax cuts". Speaking in a live video teleconference from Palm Beach, Florida, with military personnel serving in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere, Trump told them they were "very, very special people." He called troops in Afghanistan "brave, incredible fighters" who had "turned it around" in the past three to four months. "We opened it up; we said go ahead, we're going to fight to win," he said. "We're not fighting any more to just walk around, we are fighting to win." Trump said the Marines were inflicting "defeat after defeat" on Islamic State, and again credited his c...
