Tory, who is seeking a third term, announced his first campaign policy about housing Tuesday morning, ahead of the municipal election in October. “ I believe we need to get more housing built, we need to get more affordable and supportive housing built and we need to have housing that is obtainable for middle class Torontonians,” Tory told reporters while at a housing construction site in Toronto’s Distillery District. Tory’s plan consists of five pillars: Expanding housing options by permitting “missing middle” housing Cutting red tape and speeding up approval times by creating a Development and Growth Division Asking the province to allow the city to enact a “use it or lose it” policy for developers sitting on approved, but undeveloped, land Allocating a portion of city-owned land to be developed by non-profits Incentivizing the construction of purpose-built rental housing by reducing fees and charges Tory says expanding “missing middle” housing will include legalizing laneway suites and garden suites, and exempting developments of four units or less from development charges....

Tumai était-il bipède ? La question est en suspens depuis la découverte, en 2001, d’un crâne vieux de sept millions d’années dans le nord du Tchad. Pour l’équipe de l’expédition paléoanthropologique franco-tchadienne qui l’a découvert, Sahelanthropus tchadensis – dit Toumaï – supplante alors l’Orrorin tugenensis vieux de six millions d’années, découvert au Kenya, comme le plus ancien représentant connu de l’humanité. La localisation du foramen magnum dans le crâne de Toumaï, qui suggère une colonne vertébrale située sous le crâne plutôt qu’en arrière comme chez un quadrupède, le définit en effet comme un primate bipède....

However, a judge has ordered it to be heavily redacted and large parts of the document are blacked out. Here is the significance of the parts we can see and an explanation of why some extracts have been blacked out: Page one In this first page, there is just one redaction. It’s the name of the FBI agent who wrote the affidavit – the 32-page justification to a judge for the proposed raid on Mr Trump’s Florida home....

Zinke and his chief of staff “made statements to OIG investigators with the general intent to mislead them” and “presented an inaccurate version of the circumstances under which DOI made key decisions,” the IG wrote in a report. Zinke left his post in the Trump administration in late 2018, following multiple ethics investigations into his conduct. Zinke is currently running for Montana’s lone House seat. The IG report also said Zinke asked them to hold their findings until after the 2022 midterm elections....

The UK Ministry of Defense (MOD) made the announcement in a statement on Saturday and also noted that Ukrainian personnel will be trained in the use of the minesweepers. The news comes as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has entered its sixth month and President Vladimir Putin’s forces have suffered a series of setbacks in the Black Sea, including losing control of the strategically important Snake Island in June. “Six autonomous mine hunting vehicles will be sent to the country [Ukraine] to help detect Russian mines in waters off its coast,” Britain’s Ministry of Defense said on Saturday....

Bulgarien ist vielen ein Begriff wegen des verstorbenen Visionärs oder ehemaliger Spitzenfußballer wie Hristo Stojskov. Doch für Österreicher, die es wagen, in die Türkei zu fahren, bereitet schon der Begriff EU-Land Probleme, denn: An der bulgarischen Grenze werden Verkehrsteilnehmer gezwungen, ihre Autos zu „desinfizieren“ – obligatorische Gebühr inklusive. Drei Euro für „Desinfektion“ gegen das Coronavirus Bulgarien ist seit 2007 Mitglied der Europäischen Union. Doch seit den 1990er Jahren haben die Bulgaren eine etwas seltsame Praxis – nämlich die etwas andere „Autowäsche“....

The observations, from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, provide new insights into the formation of the planet, a hot gas giant called Wasp-39b located 700 light-years away in the constellation Virgo. They also provide the first clear evidence for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of a planet orbiting a distant star. “We want to know how unique we are and what the chances are of life elsewhere in the universe,” said Dr Vivien Parmentier, associate professor of physics at the University of Oxford and part of the collaboration behind the project....

Strikes continued on Wednesday after a further round of talks between council leaders and public sector unions on Tuesday failed to reach an agreement on a pay dispute affecting around 155,000 council workers. Bin workers went on strike in some councils on Wednesday.

As the cost-of-living crisis bites and with no end in sight to the war with Russia, fears are mounting that the government’s Homes for Ukraine program will unravel next month, when the first six-month placements of refugees with hosts run out without alternative housing. Although Boris Johnson hailed the UK’s response to Russia’s invasion as a triumph of principle, some organizations are warning that a key government response to the conflict’s refugee crisis could cause a “catastrophic increase in homelessness”....

Shortly after 1 a.m., city police and fire officials received calls about a fire and shots fired at a rental home, Houston Police Chief Troy Finer said at a news conference.

Cependant, a-t-il souligné, il “avait un permis de conduire valide”, même s’il n’avait “pas plus de 2 points sur 8”. Lundi, peu après 18 heures, les secours sont intervenus dans un accident mortel de la circulation sur le quai Maréchal Joffre, dans le 5e arrondissement de Lyon.

Der Fundort liegt im Tonipark am Alten Postweg, wo die Bombe bei Ausgrabungen entdeckt wurde. Es handelt sich um eine 250 kg schwere US-Flugbombe mit zwei sogenannten Aufschlagzündern. Zwei Abbruchexperten sind vor Ort und schätzen nun, dass die Bombe zwischen 22 und 11 Uhr entschärft werden könnte, je nachdem, wie schnell das betroffene Gebiet evakuiert werden kann....

Those records belonged to Trump, Fitton argued, citing a 2012 court case involving his organization that he said gave the former president the power to do whatever he wanted with records from his own tenure. The chairman of Judicial Watch suggested to Trump that if the files were returned, he would not have to give up any additional records, according to sources familiar with their previously undisclosed conversations. While Trump continued to publicly tout his cooperation with the Archives, privately the former President became obsessed with Fitton’s arguments, complaining to aides about the 15 boxes that were delivered and becoming increasingly convinced that he should have the full review of records remaining at Mar-à-Lago, according to people with knowledge of his behavior at the time....

Britischer Dirigent Sir Simon Rattle © APA/AFP (Datei)/STEFANIE LOOS Das London Symphony Orchestra unter der Leitung von Sir Simon Rattle startete seinen zweitägigen Lauf beim Grafenegg Festival am Freitagabend mit einem nur auf den ersten Blick etwas zusammenhangslosen Programm, das – zufällig oder nicht – immer wieder auf das Jahr 1922 verwies. als sich Niederösterreich und Wien trennten. Wie erwartet viel Applaus im Wolkenturm. Hector Berlioz’ orchestrale Eröffnungsouvertüre „Le Corsaire“ hatte dazu keinen erkennbaren Bezug, zeigte aber sofort alle Stärken der Londoner: exzellentes Zusammenspiel, präzise Phrasierung, nuanciertes Sounddesign und Gespür für dynamische Entwicklungen....

It turns out that it’s really hard to tell if your baby is just congested or having trouble breathing. This is something I learned when my 10 month old, Robin, was struggling to breathe at bedtime. When Health Canada first approved vaccines for children under five, I was cautiously optimistic. This was the moment our family had been eagerly waiting for. the added layer of protection for the children we thought had been left behind in the rush to ‘get back to normal’....

It was given its nickname for its habit of building deep holes to trap animals and hide inside, the team said. The man had resisted all attempts to contact him, although authorities continued to watch him from afar, occasionally leaving supplies for him. Survival International said the rest of its tribe had been wiped out by numerous attacks since the 1970s, mainly by ranchers and land grabbers. “No outsider knew this man’s name, or even much about his race — and with his death the genocide of his people was complete,” said Fiona Watson, the group’s director of research and advocacy....

Judy Sgro, president of the Canada-Taiwan Friendship Group, told CBC News last week that a group of Canadian MPs and senators plans to visit the island as early as October. While Canadian MPs have toured Taiwan in the past, there are currently heightened fears about the risk of diplomatic travel to Taiwan escalating political tensions with Beijing. China considers the island of Taiwan an “inalienable part” of its territory, the country’s embassy said in a statement Tuesday to CBC News....

Colorado Secretary of State Jenna Griswold has claimed that Republicans plan to attack Americans’ right to vote if they win this year’s midterm elections. “What we can expect from the extreme Republicans running this country is to undermine free and fair elections for the American people, to disenfranchise Americans, to refuse to address security breaches and, unfortunately, to serve Mar-a-Lago more than the American people,” the Colorado Democrat said during an interview with the Guardian....
