Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 11:21:41 GMT

As high pressure builds from the Gulf of Mexico, the jet stream moves in the Western Atlantic Ocean pushing the deeper moisture away. This means that the coverage of showers and storms will be less than in recent days. However, it won’t be totally dry. The sea breeze will jump start some spotty showers and storms with the heat and low level moisture across South Florida. By Wednesday, South Florida will be on record watch and heat advisories may be required. Temperatures are forecast to climb into the low and mid 90’s with our primary wind flow out of the West. Temperatures are forecast to feel much hotter when you combine the high humidity between 105-110 degrees. Therefore, try to stay cool by drinking plenty of water and if you can take frequent breaks in the AC.

Ex-UK health chief blames WHO for Britain’s lack of pandemic planning

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 11:21:41 GMT

LONDON — Britain’s former health secretary said the U.K. would have been more prepared for the COVID-19 pandemic if the government had not been reassured by the World Health Organization (WHO) that its plans were up to scratch.Speaking at the U.K.’s official inquiry into its handling of the coronavirus outbreak, Hancock said that prior to the outbreak of COVID-19, the U.K. was seen as “one of the best-placed countries in the world for responding to a pandemic. And indeed, in some areas, categorized by the World Health Organization as the best place in the world.”The former health secretary said “that was quite a significant reassurance that turned out to be wrong,” and said this explained why he focused on other priorities in the U.K.’s health service.Britain drew up an influenza preparedness plan in 2011, but the government has faced scrutiny over whether it prepared for the right kind of outbreak and whether funding cuts to public health service...

In an audio recording Donald Trump discusses a ‘highly confidential’ document with an interviewer

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 11:21:41 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — An audio recording from a meeting in which former President Donald Trump discusses a “highly confidential” document with an interviewer appears to undermine his later claim that he didn’t have such documents, only magazine and newspaper clippings.The recording, from a July 2021 interview Trump gave at his Bedminster, New Jersey, resort for people working on the memoir of his former chief of staff Mark Meadows, is a critical piece of evidence in special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of Trump over the mishandling of classified information. The special counsel’s indictment alleges that those in attendance at the meeting with Trump — including a writer, a publisher and two of Trump’s staff members — were shown classified information about a Pentagon plan of attack on an unspecified foreign country.“These are the papers,” Trump says in a moment that seems to indicate he’s holding a secret Pentagon document with plans to attack Iran. “This was done by the m...

Statistics Canada says the country’s inflation rate fell to 3.4 per cent in May — the lowest it’s been since June 2021.The federal agency says the slowdown was largely due to lower gasoline prices compared with a year ago.Meanwhile, grocery prices were still skyrocketing last month, rising nine per cent from last May.The slowdown in the headline rate comes after inflation ticked up slightly in April to 4.4 per cent, setting off some alarm bells at the Bank of Canada.Forecasters were widely anticipating a sharp decline in inflation this year, as price increases slow compared to the rapid run-up in the first half of 2022.The Bank of Canada will be paying close attention to today’s report as it gears up for its next interest rate decision on July 12.

How a murder in Surrey, B.C., spans the globe

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 11:21:41 GMT

In today’s Big Story Podcast, nine days ago, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, was killed in a targeted daylight shooting in a crowded area outside of a Sikh temple in Surrey, B.C. Nijjar was a well-known community leader and pro-Khalistan activist who the Indian government has previously accused of terror offences — allegations he vehemently denied.His activism and controversial past have spawned many theories about who may have done this and why, but more than a week after his death, the public has seen little evidence to substantiate those rumours. Meanwhile, a community is in mourning, and they took to the streets on Sunday to demand answers.Sonia Aslam has been covering the case for CityNews Vancouver, and she says the politics surrounding the killing have made people lose sight of the tragedy at the center of the investigation.“His past … then becomes the overshadowing focus of what’s really happened here, and what’s happened here is that a 45-year-old man, father ...

Judge will weigh whether Donald Trump’s New York criminal case should be moved to federal court

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 11:21:41 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — A U.S. judge is set to hear arguments Tuesday over President Donald Trump’s attempt to move his criminal case in New York out of the state court, where he was indicted, to a federal court where he could potentially try to get the case dismissed.Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein will listen to the afternoon arguments, though he isn’t expected to immediately rule.Trump’s lawyers sought to move the case to Manhattan federal court soon after Trump pleaded not guilty in April to charges that he falsified his company’s business records to hide hush money payouts aimed at burying allegations of extramarital sexual encounters.While requests to move criminal cases from state to federal court are rarely granted, the prosecution of Trump is unprecedented.The Republican’s lawyers say the charges, while related to his private company’s records, involve things he did while he was president. U.S. law allows criminal prosecutions to be removed from state court if th...
