A day after the federal government moved to make nearly half a million Venezuelan nationals temporarily eligible to reside and work in the United States, the Healey administration said “more needs to be done” to ease pressure on the Massachusetts emergency shelter system.The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced Wednesday that it will extend and redesignate Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, for many Venezuelan migrants because of unsafe conditions in the South American nation.About 472,000 Venezuelan nationals will newly become eligible for TPS, the department estimated, which will temporarily protect them from removal and provide them with employment authorization. Only Venezuelans who arrived in the United States by July 31 will qualify.Healey administration officials gave the development a mixed reaction, saying that although they are happy to see action that will help families, it will have a limited impact in Massachusetts because very few of th...Sophie Turner sues Joe Jonas in Manhattan federal court to return kids to U.K.

In the end, the Red Sox were exactly who we thought they were.Entering the season, the prevailing opinion among outside observers was the Red Sox were an average club who might show improvement from 2022’s last place showing, but ultimately one that wasn’t good enough to take a meaningful leap towards contention.Now officially eliminated from playoff contention and trending towards a 79-83 finish, the Red Sox have unfortunately proven all their doubters right.What went wrong? The Red Sox did make meaningful progress in a number of key areas, but the club was ultimately undone by several fatal flaws, many of which were apparent to anyone paying attention as early as this past winter.Inadequate starting pitchingBy allowing Nathan Eovaldi, Michael Wacha and Rich Hill to walk, the Red Sox took a calculated risk that their young starters would be capable of stepping up to fill the void. That bet did not pay off.His most recent start aside, Brayan Bello has been everything the...5 easy school night dinners to combat the chaos

Gretchen McKay | (TNS) Pittsburgh Post-GazetteHaving to make dinner night after night can be a drag any time of year, but it can feel even more like a chore in September if you have kids in school.After the (relatively) relaxed days of summer, it can take a while to get back into the rhythm, routine and energy of a school year. In addition to making sure everyone gets fed, evenings bring homework, packing book bags and lunches, putting yet another load of laundry into the washer and laying out clothes for the next morning.Between sporting events, teacher conferences, dance or music lessons and other after-school events, the weekly calendar can quickly fill up. Add parents’ jobs to the mix, it all can feel just so … chaotic.But with a little planning, it’s possible to get a nutritious family meal on the table, at least some of the time, while also pinching your pennies. It’s even better if you can get family members to help with the chopping, stirring, plating...Chicago officials ink nearly $30M contract with security firm to move migrants to winterized camps

CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago officials have signed a nearly $30 million contract with a private security firm to relocate migrants seeking asylum from police stations and the city’s two airports to winterized camps with massive tents before cold weather arrives, following the lead of New York City’s use of communal tents for migrants.GardaWorld Federal Services and a subsidiary sealed the one-year $29.4 million deal with Chicago on Sept. 12. That was less than a week after Mayor Brandon Johnson announced plans to move about 1,600 migrants to a network of newly erected tent cities across the city. He said the relocations will occur “before the weather begins to shift and change.”Many of those migrants have been living temporarily inside Chicago police stations or at O’Hare or Midway airports.The contract with GardaWorld states that its purpose is “to allow the City to purchase from the State Contract temporary housing solutions and related services … to provide critical service...Alexia Putellas says Spain’s women’s team has reached ‘before and after’ point in fight for equality

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — One month after Spanish soccer was rocked by a sexism scandal, players from Spain’s Women’s World Cup-winning team said Thursday a turning point has been reached in their fight for equality.Spain star Alexia Putellas, the two-time Ballon d’Or winner, said that the deal reached after a marathon meeting this week between the players, federation and government mediators would lead to real reform inside their beleaguered national soccer federation.“I believe that the meeting of the other day will mark a before and after,” said Alexia, who goes by her first name in Spain. “I truly believe that the agreement we reached after the meeting that lasted all night will make our sport, women’s sports in general and as a consequence, society at large better.”Alexia spoke at a news conference in Gothenburg, Sweden, on the eve of Spain’s Nations League game against Sweden.

OTTAWA — A Canadian man who was held in China for nearly three years is calling on governments around the world to co-ordinate sanctions and travel bans on states that arrest foreigners for political reasons.“Arbitrary detention creates small tears in the fabric of international law through which innocent people are dragged into darkness,” Michael Kovrig said Wednesday at a United Nations forum convened by the federal Liberal government.“Without co-ordinated advocacy, pressure and negotiation, the sad reality is that I might still be sitting in that cell right now. Many other people, too many, are still trapped in similar political nightmares.”Kovrig said support from Canadian consular officials and the public buoyed him during his detention in China, where he and fellow Canadian Michael Spavor were arrested in December 2018.China was widely viewed to have detained the men in retaliation for arrest of Chinese tech executive Meng Wanzhou days earlier at the Va...Canada has supporting role to help Haiti, but ‘there is no solution from outside’: PM

NEW YORK — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would not say Thursday whether Canada will take part in a Kenya-led multinational security mission in Haiti that the United Nations is under mounting U.S. pressure to authorize. The question of how best to help dominated Trudeau’s final day at the UN General Assembly, where President Joe Biden pleaded Tuesday for urgent help for the violence and poverty-racked Caribbean nation. Media reports suggest a request for approval for a security mission could arrive at the UN Security Council as early as next week, but Trudeau assiduously avoided any hint that Canada would play a role.“Let’s be very clear that Canada is one of the countries — if not the country — that has been leaning in most substantively and standing up for the Haitian people,” he told a news conference. That includes an additional $80 million for the Haitian police on top of $100 million announced back in March, as well as sanctions against three more member...Latest news
