Officials in New York City have settled two lawsuits linked to air quality risks after the 9/11 terror attacks 25 years ago.
“The city is also releasing documents with held for decades by past mayors, and peers”
Brian Mann with details." After the 9/11 attack, much of Lower Manhattan was covered in thick dust. Mayor Zoran Mondani says past Democratic and Republican City administrations concealed details of the toxic material in that debris. These are documents that show what the city knew about the toxic air around Ground Zero.
When they knew it, and how they acted to limit liability. Committee and John Stuart campaigned for release of these documents during a press conference Stuart said acknowledging the devastating impact of toxic air after 9/11 is long overdue. We've lost three times as many people, to 9/11 related illnesses as we did on 9/11. The three times as many homeless 10,000 people.
On Friday, during a 9/11 ceremony, New York City will hold a moment of silence for those who died from 9/11 related illnesses, Brian Mann and PR News, New York. The United Kingdom, France, and Canada say they're banning imports of goods from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.
“In a wider group of countries say they'll also take steps to mid-mounting concern over settlement”
expansion and violence, and PR's Lauren Frayer has this from Lyndon. UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband says his government has concluded that settler terrorists are responsible for ethnic cleansing against Palestinians, so he says the UK is banning all goods grown or manufactured in settlements, things like fruit and vegetables or wine. And it's sanctioning companies that do business with those settlements or help construct
them. To finance or facilitate illegal settlements, let me say this, you will face the full force of UK sanctions. Israel says it's closing the British consulate in East Jerusalem in response. And Mike Huckabee, the U.S. ambassador to Israel accused Miliband of "Jewhate," even though
his parents are Holocaust survivors. Lauren Frayer and PR News London.

Trump is posting maps of North America covered in U.S. flag, memes of him fighting the prime minister in calling him governor.
Defense Secretary Pete Higgseth was recently accused, making fun on line of the appearance of a Canadian teenager Army cadet in her instructor. Getting out of any conflict as hard, trade wars are no different. Common ground is really needed, and none of this makes finding that common ground any easier.
