Alessia Russo to leave Manchester United as a free agent

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:05:41 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Alessia Russo will leave Manchester United’s women’s team as a free agent this summer, the club said on Friday. The England international, who was the subject of a reported world-record bid of around $640,000 from Arsenal in January, continues to be linked with a move to the London club.United had hoped to convince Russo to sign a new deal at the club, but has now confirmed she will leave when her contract expires at the end of June. “It’s been the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make,” Russo tweeted.Russo joined United in 2020 and scored 26 goals in 59 appearances. “Everyone at the football club would like to thank Alessia for her service and wish her luck for the future,” United said. Had Russo’s proposed move to Arsenal gone ahead in January, it would have exceeded the fee Barcelona paid for Keira Walsh, which was reportedly in the region of $511,000 last year. ___More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer and https://twitter.com/...

‘Sexist and undemocratic’: Pregnant MEPs demand ability to vote on maternity leave

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:05:41 GMT

STRASBOURG — With a year to go before the EU elections, four pregnant European Parliament members are leading a campaign with their male allies to make their workplace more hospitable to younger candidates by securing parental leave for lawmakers.Unlike members of national parliaments in countries like Spain, EU lawmakers cannot keep voting if they take time out to look after newborn children because there is no official procedure to permit parental leave and remote voting.“It’s 2023. If you’re forced to choose between your votes and your child that’s a really bad signal, especially for young women,” Lara Wolters, a Dutch MEP from the Socialists & Democrats group who’s expecting her second child, told POLITICO in an interview Thursday.The absence of just one MEP could make all the difference — as a recent flurry of finely balanced votes on legislation ranging from corporate due diligence to restoring natural habitats has shown. Even though MEPs are still p...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:05:41 GMT

“Everywhere, everything, everyone.”That’s the chilling finding of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA)’s 2023 annual report, which finds that illegal drugs are everywhere, pretty much any psychoactive substance can be found on the market, and no one can escape their swelling availability and subsequent ill effects.From the colleague calling in sick, to the health care workers overburdened by extra pressure, teenagers hoodwinked into crime and governments’ welfare budgets stretched, the impact of Europe’s complex dark drugs market is felt in every corner of the Continent. The report is a “a stark reminder that illicit drug problems can be found throughout our society,” said EMCDDA Director Alexis Goosdeel in a release published alongside the report.Record amounts of drugs are being seized, existing drugs are getting more potent and newly synthesized drugs keep appearing.  European Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson said...

Teamsters will likely authorize a UPS strike Friday

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:05:41 GMT

New York (CNN) — Members of the Teamsters union are almost certain to approve a massive strike at UPS in a vote concluding Friday. A prolonged work stoppage could severely damage the economy – but a strike is still more than seven weeks away, if it happens at all.Strike votes are a common part of labor negotiations, designed to give the union negotiators leverage while trying to reach an agreement. They typically pass overwhelmingly, and the majority of contract negotiations are concluded without a strike.If a strike does come, it would be the largest against a single employer in America’s history. More than 330,000 Teamsters work at UPS (UPS), making it the largest unionized employer in the private sector. And it is crucial to the nation’s economy, with an estimated 6% of the United States’ gross domestic product, the broadest measure of economic activity, moving aboard UPS (UPS) trucks. It delivered 18.7 million domestic packages a day in the fir...
