In the 1960s, after the town's mines and sawmills closed, Leavenworth was on the brink of becoming a ghost town. In a bold move to revitalise their community, local business owners transformed the town into a picturesque Bavarian village, borrowing a page from Germany\u2019s charming alpine towns.\u00a0\n\nToday, the streets are lined with colourful buildings, festive lights, and the irresistible scent of bratwurst and pretzels. And it\u2019s not just the architecture that takes its lead from the Alpine region and its folklore \u2013 it\u2019s also Christmas events like the Krampuslauf procession, where people (traditionally young men) dressed as the horned Krampus attempt to scare the audience.\n\nSome three million visitors paid a visit to the village last year, according to Matt Cade, president of the Greater Leavenworth Museum. While Leavenworth is a year-round destination for adventurers and day-trippers \u2013 with hikers and skiers, river rafters and fly-fishers among the hordes \u2013 it truly comes alive during the festive season.\u00a0\n\nBeyond the Christmas markets, carollers, and twinkling lights, the influx of visitors has raised concerns about the rising cost of living, leading to recent efforts \u2013 such as state funding for affordable housing \u2013 to help ensure that workers in the tourism industry can afford to live in the town.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>Nestled in Washington's Cascade Mountains, Leavenworth is an enchanting, Bavarian-style village that's hard to believe exists \u2013 let alone thrives as the <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2024//12//20//holiday-tunes-the-best-christmas-albums-to-combat-the-tired-radio-classics-this-festive-se/">Christmas capital of the Pacific Northwest.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.6669921875\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////static.euronews.com//articles//stories//08//93//07//04//808x539_cmsv2_992a091c-91d0-58b1-a5cc-44eba86e8c0a-8930704.jpg/" alt=\"Nutcrackers are displayed outside the Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/93\/07\/04\/384x256_cmsv2_992a091c-91d0-58b1-a5cc-44eba86e8c0a-8930704.jpg 384w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/93\/07\/04\/640x427_cmsv2_992a091c-91d0-58b1-a5cc-44eba86e8c0a-8930704.jpg 640w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/93\/07\/04\/750x500_cmsv2_992a091c-91d0-58b1-a5cc-44eba86e8c0a-8930704.jpg 750w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/93\/07\/04\/828x552_cmsv2_992a091c-91d0-58b1-a5cc-44eba86e8c0a-8930704.jpg 828w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/93\/07\/04\/1080x720_cmsv2_992a091c-91d0-58b1-a5cc-44eba86e8c0a-8930704.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/93\/07\/04\/1200x800_cmsv2_992a091c-91d0-58b1-a5cc-44eba86e8c0a-8930704.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/93\/07\/04\/1920x1281_cmsv2_992a091c-91d0-58b1-a5cc-44eba86e8c0a-8930704.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 95vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, (max-width: 1280px) 55vw, 728px\"\/>\n <figcaption class=\"widget__caption\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionWrap\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionText\">Nutcrackers are displayed outside the Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum<\/span>\n <span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Jenny Kane\/Copyright 2024 The AP.

Representative Gaetz violated House Rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favours or privileges, and obstruction

general.\n\nGaetz resigned from Congress that same day, putting him outside the purview of the committee\u2019s jurisdiction, and withdrew his name from consideration for office.\n\nGaetz said the controversy surrounding his name was becoming an unfair distraction to Trump\u2019s incoming administration.\n\nOn Monday, Gaetz filed a last-minute lawsuit in an effort to block the report\u2019s release. \n\nHis legal team slammed the US House Panel for attempting to orchestrate an unprecedented move and stressed that, since his resignation, the former congressman is no longer under their

Mangione, the man accused of fatally shooting the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, is set to be arraigned in a Manhattan court on Monday on murder and terror charges in a state case that will run parallel to his federal prosecution.\n\nMangione, 26, was formally charged last week by the Manhattan district attorney with multiple counts of murder, including murder as an act of terrorism.

This cleared the way for his return to New York, where a New York grand jury charged the 26-year-old on eleven counts. \n\nMangione will face several murder charges, including first-degree murder and murder as an act of terrorism, prosecutors said on Tuesday. \n\nMangione is suspected of killing UnitedHealthcare's CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan earlier this month. He was arrested at a McDonalds in Altoona, Pennsylvania last week after he was on the run for five days. \n\nUpon his arrest, Mangione was reportedly carrying a detailed plan, as well as a handwritten manifesto calling health insurance companies \"parasitic\" and decrying them for their corporate greed. Mangione also wrote in the manifesto that the attack was designed to be \u201ctargeted\" and \"precise,\" one that \u201cdoesn\u2019t risk innocents.\u201d \n\nAt a press conference, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said the suspect carried out a \u201cfrightening, well-planned, targeted murder,\" and added that \u201cin its most basic terms, this was a killing that was intended to evoke terror.\u201d\n\nAnti-terrorism law used in charges against Mangione\n\nNew York prosecutors are using an 9\/11-era anti-terrorism law, which states that an underlying offense constitutes \u201ca crime of terrorism\u201d if it's done \u201cwith intent to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policy of a unit of government by intimidation or coercion or affect the conduct of a unit of government by murder, assassination or kidnapping.\u201d \n\nThe law pushes the offense into a more serious sentencing category, which means that if Mangione were to be convicted, he could possible face a life sentence. \n\nMangione also faced other charges in Pennsylvania, including more minor gun and forgery charges. The 26-year-old also waived a preliminary hearing on these charges in exchange for the prosecutor giving him a 20-page investigative report from the Altoona Police Department. \n\nBlair County District Attorney Pete Weeks said he wanted to turn Mangione over to New York officials as soon as possible, and that he was willing to put the Pennsylvania charges on hold. \n\n\u201cHe is now in their custody. He will go forth with New York to await trial or prosecution for his homicide and related charges in New York,\" Weeks said.\n\nOutside of the Blair County Courthouse in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, a few supporters were seen holding signs reading \u201cLuigi the people hear you,\u201d \u201cMurder for profit is terrorism\u201d and \u201cFree Luigi.\u201d\n\nThompson's killing sparked a healthcare debate in the US. Many took to social media to express their resentment towards health insurance comapnies, sharing stories on their experiences with denied healthcare claims, sizeable bills, and often feeling left in limbo as doctors and insurers disagreed. \n\nIn the wake of the killing, the police in New York reported an increased number of threats towards corporate leaders. \"Wanted\" posters with faces of other executives were plastered across Manhattan. \n\n\u201cWe don\u2019t celebrate murderers, and we don\u2019t lionize the killing of anyone,\u201d New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Tuesday. \u201cAny attempt to rationalize this is vile, reckless and offensive to our deeply held principles of justice.\u201d\n\n","htmlText":"<p>Luigi Mangione waived his right to an extradition hearing during a court appearance in Pennsylvania on Thursday.

Mangione also wrote in the manifesto that the attack was designed to be \u201ctargeted\" and \"precise,\" one that \u201cdoesn\u2019t risk innocents.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>At a press conference, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said the suspect carried out a \u201cfrightening, well-planned, targeted murder,\" and added that \u201cin its most basic terms, this was a killing that was intended to evoke terror.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Anti-terrorism law used in charges against Mangione<\/h2><p>New York prosecutors are using an 9\/11-era anti-terrorism law, which states that an underlying offense constitutes \u201ca crime of terrorism\u201d if it's done \u201cwith intent to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policy of a unit of government by intimidation or coercion or affect the conduct of a unit of government by murder, assassination or kidnapping.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The law pushes the offense into a more serious sentencing category, which means that if Mangione were to be convicted, he could possible face a life sentence. <\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.6689453125\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////static.euronews.com//articles//stories//08//92//19//84//808x542_cmsv2_4618828b-268a-5063-8d22-5b01f71f0ed9-8921984.jpg/" alt=\"Luigi Mangione leaves the Blair County Courthouse in Hollidaysburg, Pa., Thursday, Dec. 19, 2024.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/92\/19\/84\/384x257_cmsv2_4618828b-268a-5063-8d22-5b01f71f0ed9-8921984.jpg 384w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/92\/19\/84\/640x428_cmsv2_4618828b-268a-5063-8d22-5b01f71f0ed9-8921984.jpg 640w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/92\/19\/84\/750x502_cmsv2_4618828b-268a-5063-8d22-5b01f71f0ed9-8921984.jpg 750w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/92\/19\/84\/828x554_cmsv2_4618828b-268a-5063-8d22-5b01f71f0ed9-8921984.jpg 828w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/92\/19\/84\/1080x722_cmsv2_4618828b-268a-5063-8d22-5b01f71f0ed9-8921984.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/92\/19\/84\/1200x803_cmsv2_4618828b-268a-5063-8d22-5b01f71f0ed9-8921984.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/92\/19\/84\/1920x1284_cmsv2_4618828b-268a-5063-8d22-5b01f71f0ed9-8921984.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 95vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, (max-width: 1280px) 55vw, 728px\"\/>\n <figcaption class=\"widget__caption\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionWrap\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionText\">Luigi Mangione leaves the Blair County Courthouse in Hollidaysburg, Pa., Thursday, Dec. 19, 2024.<\/span>\n <span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Gene J.

said: \u201cThe only thing clearer than the science and impacts of climate change is the benefit of taking action \u2013 and we\u2019re not slowing down.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>\u2018Bare minimum\u2019<\/strong><\/h2><p>Ashfaq Khalfan, climate justice director with Oxfam America criticised the US federal contribution to the global climate effort for an absence of phase- out deadlines for fossil fuel production or commitment of funds for the poorer countries of the global south.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith a climate denier about to enter the White House, the Biden Administration\u2019s new national climate plan represents the bare minimum floor for climate action,\u201d Khalfan said. \u201cIt falls far short of the US\u2019s fair share of emissions reduction as the world\u2019s largest historical polluter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Linda Kalcher, director of the Strategic Perspectives think tank in Brussels, was somewhat more positive, describing the new NDC as a \u201cdecent farewell gift\u201d from the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NDC puts a spotlight on the many states that have set 100% clean energy goals,\u201d Kalcher said. \u201cIt will be interesting to see if they make the world's biggest oil and gas producer reduce emissions at times when the federal level plans to boost fossil fuels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Out of nearly 200 parties to the Paris Agreement, only the United Arab Emirates, Brazil and Switzerland had already so far submitted their 2035 emissions reduction pledges, although UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a headline 2035 target of 81% in Baku.<\/p>\n","hashtag":null,"createdAt":1734620804,"updatedAt":1734625033,"publishedAt":1734624432,"firstPublishedAt":1734624432,"lastPublishedAt":1734625033,"expiresAt":0,"images":[{"sourceUrl":null,"sourceCredit":null,"callToActionUrl":null,"captionCredit":"AP

landmark climate ruling that found a US state was violating residents\u2019 constitutional right to a clean environment has been upheld in another victory for the young plaintiffs.\n\nLast year, Montana\u2019s District Court ruled in favour of the 16 activists, now aged 7 to 23. The judge agreed that the policy the state uses in evaluating requests for fossil fuel permits - which does not take into account greenhouse gas emissions - is unconstitutional.\n\nState officials pledged to try and overturn the \u201cgroundbreaking\u201d decision on appeal. But on Wednesday, justices at Montana\u2019s Supreme Court upheld it 6-1.\n\n\u201cThis ruling is a victory not just for us, but for every young person whose future is threatened by climate change,\u201d lead plaintiff Rikki Held said in a statement Wednesday.\n\nWhy was the Montana climate ruling upheld?\n\nThe justices rejected the state\u2019s argument that greenhouse gases released from Montana fossil fuel projects are minuscule on a global scale and reducing them would have no effect on climate change. They likened it to asking: \u201cIf everyone else jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?\u201d\n\nThe plaintiffs can enforce their environmental rights \"without requiring everyone else to stop jumping off bridges or adding fuel to the fire,\u201d Chief Justice Mike McGrath wrote for the majority.\u00a0\n\n\u201cOtherwise the right to a clean and healthful environment is meaningless.\u201d\n\nOnly a few other states, including Hawaii, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and New York, have similar environmental protections enshrined in their constitutions.\n\nFiled in 2020, the lawsuit was considered a breakthrough in attempts by young environmentalists and their attorneys to use the courts to leverage action on climate change.\n\nDuring the 2023 trial in state District Court, the young plaintiffs described how climate change profoundly affects their lives: worsening wildfires foul the air they breathe, while drought and decreased snowpack deplete rivers that sustain farming, fish, wildlife and recreation and affect Native traditions.\n\nGoing forward, Montana must \"carefully assess the greenhouse gas emissions and climate impacts of all future fossil fuel permits,\u201d said Melissa Hornbein, an attorney with the Western Environmental Law Center and attorney for the plaintiffs.\n\nRepublicans double down on judicial reform after climate ruling\n\nRepublican Gov. Greg Gianforte said the state was still reviewing the decision, but warned of \u201cperpetual lawsuits that will waste taxpayer dollars and drive up energy bills for hardworking Montanans.\"\n\n\u201cThis decision does nothing more than declare open season on Montana\u2019s all-of-the-above approach to energy,\" he said, which promotes using both fossil fuels and renewables.\n\nA day earlier, Gianforte held meetings on how the state can increase energy production, which involved energy suppliers, large energy consumers, public utility companies, transmission stakeholders and legislators.\n\nIncoming Senate President Matt Regier and House Speaker Brandon Ler, both Republicans, joined Gianforte in alleging the justices were overstepping their authority and had strayed into making policy.\n\n\"Judicial reform was already a top priority for Republican lawmakers,\u201d Regier and Ler said, warning the justices to \u201cbuckle up.\u201d\n\nMontana courts have blocked or overturned numerous laws passed by Republicans in the 2021 and 2023 legislative sessions as being unconstitutional, including laws to limit access to abortion.\n\nIn seeking to overturn the District Court ruling, the state had argued the plaintiffs should be required to challenge individual fossil fuel development permits as they\u2019re issued - which would have involved trying to challenge even smaller amounts of emissions.\n\nMontana\u2019s Constitution requires agencies to \u201cmaintain and improve\u201d a clean environment. A law signed by Gianforte last year said environmental reviews may not consider climate impacts unless the federal government makes carbon dioxide a regulated pollutant.\u00a0\n\nThe Montana Supreme Court's ruling found that law to be unconstitutional.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>A landmark climate ruling that found a US state was violating residents\u2019 constitutional right to a clean environment has been upheld in another victory for the young plaintiffs.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Montana\u2019s District Court ruled in favour of the 16 activists, now aged 7 to 23.

calls and emails started coming to NYU Langone Health and Massachusetts General Hospital in the United States soon after doctors began experimenting with pig organs in humans.\n\nPeople worried they\u2019ll never get a scarce human transplant are asking: when could we get a pig kidney?\n\nAlex Berrios of Louisville, Kentucky, needs a second transplant, but finding another human match is proving impossible. So he's closely watching for a chance at pig kidney research.\n\n\"It may not work, and I have to be OK with that,\" Berrios said. \"I think it\u2019s worth the shot\".\n\nNow, as researchers hunt for an alternative to the dire shortage of transplantable organs, two US companies aim to begin the world\u2019s first clinical trials of xenotransplantation in 2025 \u2013 using pig kidneys or hearts to try to save human lives.\n\nWould-be volunteers are impatient to see if they'll qualify, as researchers fine-tune how best to test if the humanised pig organs they\u2019ve designed might really work.\n\nScientists have tried animal-to-human transplants for years without success, but now they can edit pig genes, trying to bridge the species gap enough to keep the human immune system from immediately attacking the foreign tissue \u2013 though the best gene combination is still unknown.\n\nSo far, each of the five Americans to receive a gene-edited pig organ have been an emergency experiment for people out of options. \n\nNone of the previous recipients \u2013 two given pig hearts and two kidneys \u2013 survived more than two months, but news that a woman was faring well after a pig kidney transplant at NYU in late November has heightened potential patients\u2019 anticipation.\n\n\"We have to have the courage to continue,\" said University of Maryland transplant surgeon Dr Bartley Griffith.\n\nSick and tired from dialysis\n\nIn Palm Springs, California, Carl McNew emailed NYU to ask about volunteering while he\u2019s still fairly healthy.\n\nMcNew donated a kidney to his husband in 2015, but later his remaining kidney began declining, something very rare in living donors. Medications and intermittent dialysis are helping, but McNew knows he\u2019ll eventually need a transplant.\n\n\"There\u2019s just something about being part of something like that, that is so cutting-edge,\" said McNew, who spotted news of NYU\u2019s xenotransplant research in 2023 and emailed his interest.\n\nFor Louisville\u2019s Berrios, donor scarcity isn\u2019t the only hurdle. Born with a single kidney that failed in his late 20s, a living donor transplant restored his health for 13 years. \n\nBut it failed in 2020 and he has since developed antibodies that would destroy another human kidney, what doctors call \"highly sensitised\".\n\nThree days per week, Berrios quietly slips out of his home before dawn to spend nearly four hours tethered to a dialysis machine. \n\nGetting the grueling treatments at 5 am is the only way the father of two can both stay alive and hold down a full-time job.\n\nBut dialysis doesn\u2019t fully replace kidney function \u2013 people slowly get sicker. So even as Berrios tried an experimental therapy to tamp down his problem antibodies, he told NYU he's interested in a pig kidney.\n\nRigorous trials to test pig organ transplants expected\n\nUS Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rules require that pig organs be extensively tested in monkeys or baboons before humans. And while researchers have extended those primates\u2019 survival to a year, sometimes longer, they were desperate for experience with people.\n\nAfter all, the pig organs are genetically altered to be more humanlike, not more baboon-like.\n\nAt NYU and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, surgeons first tested pig organs in bodies of the recently deceased, donated for scientific research.\n\nPatients given pig organs so far have been \"compassionate use\" transplants, experiments that FDA allows in select emergency cases for people out of other options.\n\nAlthough the first four patients didn\u2019t survive long, in part because of complications from other diseases, those experiments proved pig organs could work at least for a while and offered other lessons.\n\nFor example, discovery of a hidden pig virus in the first heart transplant prompted better tests for that risk.\n\nOnly rigorous studies comparing similarly ill patients will offer a clearer picture of pig organs\u2019 potential \u2013 maybe those like Towana Looney, the woman doing well after a recent pig kidney transplant.\n\nDespite eight years of dialysis, Looney wasn\u2019t nearly as sick as prior xenotransplant recipients, but couldn\u2019t find a matching donor. Like Berrios, she had a highly sensitised immune response.\n\nLooney may be \"kind of a litmus test\" for trial candidates, said NYU\u2019s Montgomery, who led her transplant with her original surgeon in Alabama, Dr Jayme Locke. \n\n\"She\u2019s received the transplant at just the right time,\" before dialysis did too much damage.\n\nPig organ transplants still have much to prove\n\nResearchers feel pressure to show if pig organs can keep people alive much longer than a few months, said Mike Curtis, CEO of eGenesis, one of the companies developing organs. If they can\u2019t, the question will be whether they have the right gene edits.\n\nWhen it comes to testing, the balance is choosing participants sick enough to qualify, but not so sick they have no chance.\n\n\"There\u2019s a tremendous number of patients who would be very willing, very willing to do this,\" said Dr Silke Niederhaus, an associate professor of surgery at the University of Maryland, who isn\u2019t involved in xenotransplant research but watches it closely.\n\nNiederhaus urges people to learn their odds of getting a human kidney before volunteering.\n\nIf they\u2019re younger, healthier, or have a living donor, \"I would probably say go with what\u2019s known and what\u2019s proven,\" Niederhaus said.\n\nBut if they\u2019re older and dialysis is starting to fail, \"maybe it\u2019s worth taking the risk\".\n\n","htmlText":"<p>The calls and emails started coming to NYU Langone Health and Massachusetts General Hospital in the United States soon after doctors began experimenting with pig organs in humans.<\/p>\n<p>People worried they\u2019ll never get a scarce human transplant are asking: when could we get a <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//health//2024//03//22//surgeons-perform-the-worlds-first-pig-kidney-transplant-into-a-human-patient/">pig kidney<\/strong><\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>Alex Berrios of Louisville, Kentucky, needs a second transplant, but finding another human match is proving impossible.

Following a co-ed softball team at a middle school, the show\u2019s format will focus on a different team member each episode in the group\u2019s run up to a big championship game. \n\nThe Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that an episode focusing on a transgender character has been axed. A Disney spokesperson said: \u201cWhen it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline.\u201d\n\nWhile the episode has been removed, Disney has confirmed that the character will remain in the show. However, they\u2019ve been relegated to a background role with few lines and all references to their gender identity cut. \n\nThis is the latest development in a trend of Disney executives trying to remove LGBTQ+ themes from the company\u2019s output. \n\nFollowing Florida passing legislation known as the \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay\u201d bill in 2022, then-CEO Bob Chapek made a statement about \u201ccreating a more inclusive world\u2026 through the inspiring content we produce.\u201d That, however, was heavily criticised by LGBTQ+ members of Pixar. \n\nThe Pixar workers released a letter that stated Disney corporate had forced them to reduce much of the LGBTQ+ content from their stories. \u201cEven if creating LGBTQIA+ content was the answer to fixing the discriminatory legislation in the world, we are being barred from creating it.\u201d\n\nBox office impact\n\nBoth Pixar\u2019s Lightyear and Disney Animation\u2019s Strange World were strongly attacked for featuring LGBTQ+ characters. To many, it appeared that Disney pinned the two films\u2019 lack of global commercial success on that element.\n\nThere have also been allegations that an episode of Disney show \u2018Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur\u2019 was removed for its focus on a transgender character. Disney has claimed that the episode was put on hold for reasons aside from the character. \n\nChanel Stewart, the actor who was meant to play the transgender character in \u2018Win or Lose\u2019, first saw the callout for the show in 2020. The then-14-year-old spoke to Deadline about the experience of getting the job. \n\n\u201cI wore it as a badge. I wore it with pride. I wore it with honour because it meant so much to me. The thought of authentically portraying a transgender teenage girl made me really happy. I wanted to make this for transgender kids like me,\u201d she said. \n\nOn hearing the news from Disney that her character\u2019s plot had been removed, Stewart said she was \u201cvery disheartened.\u201d \n\nStewart couldn\u2019t say much about the rewrite but has confirmed that \u201cmy character would now be a cis girl, a straight cis girl\u201d. \n\nIn response, Stewart\u2019s mother Keisha also said: \u201cThere may be some parents out there who are not ready to have that conversation, but this is the world that we live in and everyone should be represented. Everyone deserves to be recognized. And it felt like it was just another setback for the LGBTQ community, because it\u2019s very hard on transgender teenagers \u2026 transgender people, period.

and ambulance drivers have lower death rates from Alzheimer\u2019s than hundreds of other professions, pointing to a potential link between memory-intensive jobs and dementia risk, a new study has found.\n\nThese drivers must memorise entire city street networks with quick recall, and previous research in the UK indicates that London taxi drivers have functional changes to the hippocampus over decades of navigating the city.\n\nThe hippocampus is used for spatial memory and navigation, and it is also one of the first regions of the brain to be affected by Alzheimer\u2019s disease, the most common form of dementia.\n\nFor the new study, which was published in The BMJ, researchers from Harvard Medical School analysed Alzheimer\u2019s death rates for nearly 9 million people who died in the US between 2020 and 2022.\n\nThey included 443 occupations, but focused specifically on bus drivers, airplane pilots, and ship captains in order to compare taxi and ambulance drivers with other transportation jobs that don\u2019t require the same degree of memory-intensive navigational skills.\n\nNavigational tasks might offer protection\n\nIn the general population, 1.69 per cent of all deaths were linked to Alzheimer\u2019s, far higher than the 1.03 per cent for taxi drivers and chauffeurs and 0.91 per cent for ambulance drivers.\n\nMeanwhile, the Alzheimer\u2019s death rates for other transit jobs ranged from 1.65 per cent (bus drivers) to 2.34 (airplane pilots) when researchers adjusted for age at death, sex, race and ethnicity, and educational level.\n\n\"Our findings raise the possibility that frequent navigational and spatial processing tasks, as performed by taxi and ambulance drivers, might be associated with some protection against Alzheimer\u2019s disease,\" the study authors said.\n\nDr Anupam B Jena, a professor at Harvard Medical School and the study\u2019s senior author, told Euronews Health that people should not stop using their GPS systems while driving as a way to stimulate their brains.\n\n\"The use of that part of the brain in taxi drivers is happening over decades and in a very particular and intense way \u2013 minute to minute on-the-fly navigational\/spatial processing,\" Jena said.\n\nThe researchers also warned that the study does not prove causality. It\u2019s also possible that people who are better at navigation and processing geographic information are more likely to become taxi and ambulance drivers, meaning they might be at a lower risk of Alzheimer\u2019s regardless of their job.\n\nAngela Bradshaw, director for research at Alzheimer Europe, told Euronews Health that the researchers are right to be cautious, but that the cognitive training required for \u201cfrequent spatial and navigational processing\u201d could help curb the risk of dementia.\n\n\"There are a number of studies showing that cognitive stimulation can be beneficial,\" Bradshaw said, pointing to a 2023 study in Australia that found that participating in activities that stimulate the brain, such as taking classes, writing letters, or doing crossword puzzles, was associated with a lower risk of dementia over 10 years.\n\nStudy limitations\n\nHowever, she noted that other factors make it difficult to \"draw a direct line between profession, the skills involved in doing a particular job, and the risk of death from Alzheimer\u2019s disease\".\n\nIndependent researchers pointed to a few of those factors, including the fact that the taxi and ambulance drivers in the study died on average around ages 64 to 67, while Alzheimer\u2019s onset is typically after age 65.\n\nFurther, few of the drivers were women, who are more likely to develop Alzheimer\u2019s than men, and the analysis didn\u2019t consider genetics or include scans that could show any changes to the brain as a result of their jobs.\n\nMore research would be needed to determine whether the mental load associated with taxi and ambulance driving can actually protect against dementia, the study authors said.\n\nEven with the limitations, though, the findings \"highlight the need for more fundamental research into how to protect our brains from Alzheimer\u2019s disease,\" Tara Spires-Jones, a dementia researcher and president of the British Neuroscience Association, said in a statement.\n\nNearly 8 million people in the European Union have dementia, with Alzheimer\u2019s likely accounting for more than half of cases, according to Alzheimer Europe.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>Taxi and ambulance drivers have lower death rates from <a

man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare's CEO has been charged with murder as an act of terrorism, prosecutors said Tuesday as they worked to bring him to a New York court from a Pennsylvania jail.\n\nLuigi Mangione already was charged with murder in the 4 December killing of Brian Thompson, but the terror allegation is new.\n\nManhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said Thompson's death on a midtown Manhattan street \"was a killing that was intended to evoke terror. And we've seen that reaction.\"\n\nMangione's New York lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, declined to comment.\n\nThompson, 50, was shot while walking to a hotel where Minnesota-based UnitedHealthcare \u2014 the United States' biggest medical insurer \u2014 was holding an investor conference.\n\nThe killing kindled a fiery outpouring of resentment toward U.S. health insurance companies, as Americans swapped stories online and elsewhere of being denied coverage, left in limbo as doctors and insurers disagreed, and stuck with sizeable bills.\n\nThe shooting also rattled C-suites, as \"wanted\" posters with other healthcare executives' names and faces appeared on New York streets, and some social media users extolled Mangione's deed as payback.\n\nNew York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Tuesday that \"any attempt to rationalize this is vile, reckless and offensive to our deeply held principles of justice.\"\n\nWhy does a post-9\/11 law apply here?\n\nA New York law passed after the 11 September attacks allows prosecutors to charge crimes as acts of terrorism when they're \"intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policies of a unit of government by intimidation or coercion and affect the conduct of a unit of government by murder, assassination or kidnapping.\"\n\nProsecutors have applied the statute to various contexts. Some related to international extremism, but the law was first used against a Bronx gang member after a hail of gunfire killed a 10-year-old girl and paralyzed a man outside a christening party in 2002. The state's highest court later said the conduct didn't amount to terrorism, and a retrial produced convictions on other charges.\n\nThompson's killing, Bragg noted, happened early on a workday in an area frequented by commuters, businesspeople and tourists.\n\n\"This was a frightening, well-planned, targeted murder that was intended to cause shock and attention and intimidation,\" the district attorney said.\n\nAfter days of intense police searches and publicity, Mangione was spotted on 9 December at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, and arrested. New York police officials have said Mangione was carrying the gun used to kill Thompson, a passport and various fake IDs, including one that the suspected shooter presented to check into a New York hostel.\n\nThe 26-year-old was charged with Pennsylvania gun and forgery offences and locked up there without bail. His Pennsylvania lawyer has questioned the evidence for the forgery charge and the legal grounding for the gun charge. The attorney also has said Mangione would fight extradition to New York.\n\nMangione has two court hearings scheduled for Thursday in Pennsylvania, including an extradition hearing, Bragg noted.\n\nHours after his arrest, the Manhattan district attorney's office filed paperwork charging him with murder and other offences. The indictment builds on that paperwork.\n\nInvestigators' working theory is that Mangione, an Ivy League computer science grad from a prominent Maryland family, was propelled by anger at the U.S. healthcare system. A law enforcement bulletin last week said that when arrested, he was carrying a handwritten letter that called health insurance companies \"parasitic\" and complained about corporate greed.\n\nMangione repeatedly posted on social media about how spinal surgery last year had eased his chronic back pain, encouraging people with similar conditions to speak up for themselves if told they just had to live with it.\n\nIn a Reddit post in late April, he advised someone with a back problem to seek additional opinions from surgeons and, if necessary, say the pain made it impossible to work.\n\n\"We live in a capitalist society,\" Mangione wrote. \"I've found that the medical industry responds to these key words far more urgently than you describing unbearable pain and how it's impacting your quality of life.\"\n\nHe was never a UnitedHealthcare client, according to the insurer.\n\nMangione apparently cut himself off from his family and close friends in recent months. His family reported him missing in San Francisco in November.\n\nAfter San Francisco authorities got a tip to their New York counterparts, investigators spoke to Mangione's mother in San Francisco late on 7 December. In that interview, \"she said it might be something that she could see him doing,\" New York Police Department Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said Tuesday.\n\nBefore the case detectives could follow up on that lead, Mangione was arrested, Kenny said.\n\nMangione's relatives have said in a statement that they were \"shocked and devastated\" by his arrest.\n\nThompson, who grew up on a farm in Iowa, was trained as an accountant. A married father of two high-schoolers, he had worked at the giant UnitedHealth Group for 20 years and became CEO of its insurance arm in 2021.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>The man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare's CEO has been charged with murder as an act of terrorism, prosecutors said Tuesday as they worked to bring him to a New York court from a Pennsylvania jail.<\/p>\n<p>Luigi Mangione already was charged with murder in the 4 December killing of Brian Thompson, but the terror allegation is new.<\/p>\n<p>Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said Thompson's death on a midtown Manhattan street \"was a killing that was intended to evoke terror.

In that interview, \"she said it might be something that she could see him doing,\" New York Police Department Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Before the case detectives could follow up on that lead, Mangione was arrested, Kenny said.<\/p>\n<p>Mangione's relatives have said in a statement that they were \"shocked and devastated\" by his arrest.<\/p>\n<p>Thompson, who grew up on a farm in Iowa, was trained as an accountant. A married father of two high-schoolers, he had worked at the giant UnitedHealth Group for 20 years and became CEO of its insurance arm in 2021.<\/p>\n","hashtag":null,"createdAt":1734496230,"updatedAt":1734510467,"publishedAt":1734500655,"firstPublishedAt":1734500655,"lastPublishedAt":1734510467,"expiresAt":0,"images":[{"sourceUrl":null,"sourceCredit":null,"callToActionUrl":null,"captionCredit":"Benjamin B.

United States and the European Union have worked together on tech issues for the last four years under President Joe Biden, but experts say the nature of that relationship could change under the incoming president.\u00a0\n\n\"This change will be more evolution than revolution,\" Jovan Kurbalija, executive director of the DiploFoundation, told Euronews Next.\u00a0\n\n\"It means that we will have\u2026 more continuity than disruption to the Biden administration\".\u00a0\n\nThere will be some \"adjustments\" to President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s policies from what the US saw under Biden, particularly on how the country will handle content moderation, tariffs, taxation, and cybersecurity, Kurbalija said.\u00a0\n\nAs Trump\u2019s inauguration in January draws closer, all eyes are on how the US and EU might diverge on technology policy.\u00a0\n\n'Improved coordination' on Big Tech accountability\u00a0\n\nProject 2025, an ultra-conservative policy manifesto produced by a Republican think tank, proposed that Trump should strip social media companies of the long-standing protection they have against being liable for content hosted on their sites.\u00a0\n\nThis change to Section 230 of the US Diplomat Act could mean \"improved coordination\" with the EU but it could also strain the relationship, Kurbalija continued.\n\nThat\u2019s because Trump wants to make companies responsible for their content but not regulate it like the EU\u2019s Digital Services Act (DSA) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA) do.\u00a0\n\nBig Tech leaders like Apple CEO Tim Cook have talked to Trump directly about the strict conditions for their companies under the DSA.\u00a0\n\nX\u2019s Elon Musk, already appointed to run a new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the incoming administration, is also under a DSA investigation launched by the EU.\u00a0\u00a0\n\nOne way for the EU to diffuse any possible tension with Trump is how they decide to enforce these pieces of legislation, according to Bill Echikson, senior fellow of the Digital Innovation Initiative at the Centre for European Policy Analysis.\u00a0\n\nYet, Echikson continued, there\u2019s still some uncertainty about how or whether Trump will crack down on US tech companies.\u00a0\n\n\"He said all sorts of things back and forth that he would crack down on tech, that he wouldn\u2019t crack down on the companies because they\u2019re national treasures and so forth,\" he said.\u00a0\n\nPotential tech trade tariffs\u00a0\n\nTrade tariffs were - and remain - a strong part of Trump\u2019s diplomatic playbook.\u00a0\n\nWith a month to go to inauguration day, Trump has already threatened China, Mexico, Canada, and the BRICS countries with tariffs.\u00a0\n\nKurbalija said that in the eventuality that the US considers mounting tariffs against the EU in any area, the bloc could consider a \"fundamental shift\" by retaliating with measures to limit online services from the US.\u00a0\n\nWhat that retaliation looks like from the EU depends on what Trump brings into force, Jovan asserts, but he could see \u201cstricter anti-trust, anti-monopoly regulation in Europe\u201d like higher taxes on Big Tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and others.\u00a0\n\nThese taxes wouldn\u2019t affect the amount that customers of Big Tech pay for their services, but the budgets of state governments would change, Kurbalija said.\u00a0\n\nIf the EU decides to do this, Kurbalija continued, Big Tech could have limited access to what he calls a \"very, very rich market\" of close to 500 million people.\u00a0\n\n\"This is effectively a strong card for [the] European Union,\" he said.\u00a0\n\nOne thing to watch is how Trump will react to the Irish Court\u2019s order for Apple to pay 13 billion in an 8-year-long tax dispute that was settled in September, Echikson said.\u00a0\n\n'Divide and conquer'\n\nThe future of one of the forums where the US and EU coordinated on technology decisions could be in flux with Trump\u2019s win, experts agree.\u00a0\n\nPresident Biden introduced the concept of the US-EU Technology Council during his mandate.\u00a0\n\nThe council eased tensions around data transfer rules between the US and EU, coordinated Russian sanctions, and created more coordination between both bodies on helping Ukraine with cybersecurity issues as the war continues, according to Kurbalija and Echikson.\u00a0\n\nBoth agreed that Trump will likely not be \"particularly enthusiastic\" to keep the current council in place.\u00a0\n\nTrump prefers instead to negotiate one-on-one deals with specific countries instead of a bloc like the EU, Kurbalija continued, \u201cwhich gives him more room to manoeuvre\u201d.\u00a0\n\nThis could have advantages for the technology diplomats, Jovan said, because it will force Europe \"to have a clarity in its position(s)\".\u00a0\n\n\"What I expect [is] much more transparency, clarity, probably more attention (in negotiations) than with the Biden administration,\" Kurbalija said. \"The more transparent negotiations are\u2026 the better for both sides\".\n\nHowever, it will be much more \"complex\" for the EU to coordinate responses to bilateral trade agreements, Echikson said.\u00a0\n\n\"He tends to want to divide and conquer,\" Echikson said. \"I think that\u2019s a challenge that Europe is going to have to face, whether it allows itself to be picked off one by one or whether it does present a united front\".\u00a0\n\n","htmlText":"<p>The United States and the European Union have worked together on tech issues

has created a whirlpool of online outrage over a social media post featuring AI-doctored images of the Pope. \n\nOn her Instagram story, the 66-year-old singer posted two images of Pope Francis cuddling up to her. In the AI-generated pictures, the Pope has his arm around her lace-dress covered waist with the captions \u201cGoing into the weekend like\u2026\u2026\u2026,\u201d and \u201cFeels good to be seen\u2026\u2026\u201d\n\nIn the post, she tagged rickdick_, the social media account that created the images. \n\nImmediately, these images sparked outrage. Among the comments criticising the environmental impact of producing AI images, there was also an outroar from Catholics worldwide. \n\nThe Christian community found the images of the Pope in an intimate exchange with Madonna to be \u201cdisrespectful\u201d and \u201cunethical\u201d, according to Premier Christian News. \n\nWhile the images would certainly be compromising to the Pope\u2019s brand if they were real, any suggestion that Madonna has crossed some kind of spiritual Rubicon, is sorely uninformed of the pop icon\u2019s four-decade plus career. \n\nEver since her rise to stardom with albums like 1984\u2019s \u2018Like a Virgin\u2019, Madonna hasn\u2019t shied away from pairing Christian imagery to sexuality, regularly performing with crucifixes as part of her racy ensembles. \n\nThis was taken to an apotheosis with the release of 1989\u2019s \u2018Like a Prayer\u2019, with a Mary Lambert-directed music video featuring the Catholic-raised singer dancing among burning crosses in reference to the Klu Klux Klan. \n\nThe video was banned by many TV stations in the US and then-Pope John Paul II encouraged a boycott of the star. \n\nThroughout her career, Madonna has been no stranger to creating controversy with her unashamed approach to sexuality. The 1992 coffee table book \u2018Sex\u2019, featuring her in simulated sex scenes, was a significant display of a globally famous pop star using her sexuality with complete artistic control. \n\nOn the religion front, Madonna has also continued to be provocative, making headlines with her public exploration of spirituality through the traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Kabbalah. \n\nThanks to her unabashed use of religious imagery in her music, Madonna has been excommunicated by the Catholic church three times, a point she brought up when she tweeted at Pope Francis two years ago. \n\n\u201cI\u2019m a good Catholic. I Swear! I mean I don\u2019t Swear! It\u2019s been a few decades since my last confession,\u201d he wrote, tagging the Pope\u2019s official account. \u201cWould it be possible to meet up one day to discuss some important matters? I\u2019ve been excommunicated 3 times. It doesn\u2019t seem fair. Sincerely, Madonna\u201d. \n\nTo claim that a couple of crudely created AI images of Madonna with the Pope breaks new ground for the \u2018Hung Up\u2019 singer is to purposely ignore a key theme for her career. \n\nA fairer criticism of the AI images is that they\u2019re simply not that interesting in the first place. As social media is flooded with lazy AI images of world leaders in uninteresting or compromising situations, this kind of content isn\u2019t titillating. It\u2019s exhausting. \n\nSadly, this tracks more with Madonna\u2019s \u2018Confessions on a Dancefloor\u2019 output post-2005. For all the quality of her 20th work and her more recent powerful statements against ageism, the singer\u2019s never really reached the same height of culturally critiquing controversy. \n\nFrom her milk-bath \u201cgreat equalizer\u201d declaration during Covid-19 to accidentally insulting a disabled fan this year, Madonna\u2019s recent controversies feel more like gaffs than provocations. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Madonna has created a whirlpool of online outrage over a social media post featuring AI-doctored images of the Pope. <\/p>\n<p>On her Instagram story, the 66-year-old singer posted two images of <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2024//08//06//pope-francis-says-novels-and-poetry-are-essential-to-counter-violent-fake-news/">Pope Francis<\/strong><\/a> cuddling up to her.

The 1992 coffee table book \u2018Sex\u2019, featuring her in simulated sex scenes, was a significant display of a globally famous pop star using her sexuality with complete artistic control. <\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.6781144781144781\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////static.euronews.com//articles//stories//07//34//19//00//808x550_cmsv2_9fb42146-31ee-59b9-9ded-801927fd2d63-7341900.jpg/" alt=\"Madonna performs during her Blond Ambition tour in Worcester, Mass., on June 4, 1990\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/34\/19\/00\/384x260_cmsv2_9fb42146-31ee-59b9-9ded-801927fd2d63-7341900.jpg 384w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/34\/19\/00\/640x434_cmsv2_9fb42146-31ee-59b9-9ded-801927fd2d63-7341900.jpg 640w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/34\/19\/00\/750x509_cmsv2_9fb42146-31ee-59b9-9ded-801927fd2d63-7341900.jpg 750w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/34\/19\/00\/828x561_cmsv2_9fb42146-31ee-59b9-9ded-801927fd2d63-7341900.jpg 828w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/34\/19\/00\/1080x732_cmsv2_9fb42146-31ee-59b9-9ded-801927fd2d63-7341900.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/34\/19\/00\/1200x814_cmsv2_9fb42146-31ee-59b9-9ded-801927fd2d63-7341900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/34\/19\/00\/1920x1302_cmsv2_9fb42146-31ee-59b9-9ded-801927fd2d63-7341900.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 95vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, (max-width: 1280px) 55vw, 728px\"\/>\n <figcaption class=\"widget__caption\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionWrap\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionText\">Madonna performs during her Blond Ambition tour in Worcester, Mass., on June 4, 1990<\/span>\n <span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">SANDY HILL\/AP1990<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>On the religion front, Madonna has also continued to be provocative, making headlines with her public exploration of spirituality through the traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Kabbalah. <\/p>\n<p>Thanks to her unabashed use of religious imagery in her music, Madonna has been excommunicated by the Catholic church three times, a point she brought up when she tweeted at Pope Francis two years ago. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a good Catholic.

This perfume blends delicate floral and citrus notes for a scent that embodies confidence and poise.\u201d \n\nThe challenge you might have to face with grace is smelling like a 78-year-old Florida-based megalomaniac. \n\nThese fragrances aren\u2019t Trump\u2019s first foray into flogging merch to his fanbase for a quick buck. Earlier this year, he sold a range of digital trading cards to try and revive the dead NFT trend. \n\nTrump has promoted a $60 \u2018God Bless the U.S.A. Bible\u2019, purportedly the only King James bible to be endorsed by him. He\u2019s also used the highly publicised mugshot of him at Fulton County Jail to sell coffee mugs, T-shirts, and more of his trading cards. \n\nAs if that wasn't enough, his MAGA-branded guitars have landed him in hot water with legendary instrument maker Gibson, which claimed the move infringes on its trademarks.\n\nSo, will you be seeking out some 'Fight Fight Fight' if it ever comes back on the market? \n\n","htmlText":"<p>While many accusations have been levied at the US president-elect, few have suggested that <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2024//12//12//donald-trump-named-times-person-of-the-year-2024/">Donald Trump<\/strong><\/a> has a notably good smell. <\/p>\n<p>But that won\u2019t stand in the way of the MAGA crew from getting their hands on the tycoon\u2019s latest money-making scheme.
