Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:53:02 GMT

A fatal crash on State Road 826 (Palmetto Expressway) led to a serious traffic jam on Friday morning. Officials said the collision occurred around 5 a.m. just before the exit onto Interstate 75. Due to the investigation underway, authorities have blocked off a significant portion of the highway. Emergency crews blocked off the southbound Palmetto Expressway at Miami Lakes Drive where drivers are being forced off that exit.

Morning commuters are urged to avoid the Palmetto Expressway westbound as the path leads to the closure that will ultimately force them off.

The world needs to be cured of Russia, the first president of post-Soviet Lithuania said Friday.“Russia has become a cancer of Europe and the world,” said Vytautas Landsbergis, who was speaking at a ceremony in the Lithuanian parliament, according to public broadcaster LRT. “If it is cured, the world may survive, but if not, it may lead to the destruction of the world,” the former president added.Landsbergis was one of the founders of the pro-independence Reform Movement, which led the struggle for independence from the Soviet Union until Lithuania officially seceded in March 1990.

Macron calls for an international taxation deal to finance climate efforts

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:53:02 GMT

PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday hinted at a fresh push to revamp the international taxation system to finance climate efforts.Macron spoke on the sidelines of the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact in Paris, where delegates from across the world are discussing ways to reform the international financial system to help raise money for climate adaptation and mitigation efforts.Top economists in France have been pushing for a new wealth tax to finance the fight against climate change, spurring a debate inside Macron’s government.But Macron dodged the issue in an interview with French media, instead calling for other ideas like a tax on financial transactions or an extra fee on airline tickets.“I’m calling for mobilization, help us go and get all the countries who don’t have a [tax on financial transactions] and don’t have a tax on plane tickets,” he said.Macron dismissed the idea that France could introduce a climate t...

Upon arrival, they discovered a “house of horrors,” as City Councilor Erin Murphy described it.Firefighters found a dead body on the floor, as well as drugs, alcohol, sex toys and “approximately 6 adults, who appeare...
