Diego Maradona (centre during the 1986 World Cup) is widely considered one of the greatest footballers in history. BUENOS AIRES: Eight medical personnel will stand trial for alleged criminal negligence in the death of Argentine football legend Diego Maradona, according to a court ruling made public on Wednesday. No date has been set for the trial of the staff over Maradona's death in 2020, which prosecutors say was due to "omissions" by his caregivers who abandoned him "to his fate" during home hospitalization. Maradona died aged 60 while recovering from brain surgery for a blood clot, and after decades of battles with cocaine and alcohol addictions. He was found dead in bed two weeks after going under the knife, in a rented house in an exclusive Buenos Aires neighborhood to where he was brought after being discharged from hospital. He was found to have died of a heart attack. A panel of 20 medical experts convened by Argentina's public prosecutor concluded last year that … [Read more...] about Medical staff to be tried for Maradona death

Feds: Ghislaine Maxwell deserves at least 30 years in prison
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 NEW YORK (AP) — British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell should spend at least 30 years in prison for her role in the sexual abuse of teenage girls over a 10-year period by her onetime boyfriend, financier Jeffrey Epstein, prosecutors said Wednesday in written arguments. Prosecutors said she should serve between 30 years and 55 years in prison, reflecting the federal sentencing guidelines. They made their recommendations to the judge who will preside over a sentencing hearing on Tuesday in Manhattan federal court. The 60-year-old Maxwell was convicted in December of sex trafficking and other crimes after a month-long trial that featured testimony from four women who said they were abused in their teens. Defense lawyers said in a sentencing submission last week that she should spend no more than five years in prison and shouldn't pay for Epstein's crimes, since he was the mastermind … [Read more...] about Feds: Ghislaine Maxwell deserves at least 30 years in prison
Immersive King Tut exhibit looks beyond the gold mask
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 8 WASHINGTON - The objects in the tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamen - or, as a new exhibition at the National Geographic Museum spells it, Tutankhamun - were meant to commemorate the Egyptian ruler's life and guide him to the next one. Since they were first unearthed almost exactly 100 years ago, such exquisite artifacts as the golden funerary mask of Tut, as he is more commonly known today, have attracted widespread interest and admiration. But "Beyond King Tut: The Immersive Experience" emphasizes nonmaterial aspects of the boy king's significance. Its centerpiece is an animation of the dead king's journey to the afterlife, as imagined from the text known as the Egyptian Book of the Dead. The organizers of this almost entirely virtual-reality exhibition didn't have much choice but to take this approach, since the relics from Tut's tomb are no longer available … [Read more...] about Immersive King Tut exhibit looks beyond the gold mask
Dozens of turtles, dolphins found dead in Guatemala, probe launched
A handout picture released by Guatemala's National Council for Protected Areas on June 23 shows a dead dolphin recently found on the country's Pacific coast GUATEMALA CITY - Dozens of turtles, dolphins and other marine species have been found dead on Guatemala's Pacific coast, prompting an official investigation, authorities said Thursday. As many as 65 turtles, most of them of the Olive Ridley variety, and 14 dolphins were discovered dead earlier this week, Guatemala's National Council of Protected Areas told AFP. The agency didn't say where exactly the dead animals were found. Officials at the agency believe the deaths could have been caused by heavy rains in recent days, which could have carried some toxic materials from the mainland into the sea. Investigators are also looking into whether industrial fishing being developed offshore could have played a role. Experts in this Central American nation will now study the animals' remains to determine what caused the deaths. … [Read more...] about Dozens of turtles, dolphins found dead in Guatemala, probe launched
Championship tensions boil over between Vettel and Hamilton but Ricciardo stays cool · RaceFans
Following two days of track action that saw incidents and accidents galore, Mercedes’s Valtteri Bottas casually predicted that the Azerbaijan Grand Prix could potentially prove to be ‘more of a mess’ than last year’s relatively uneventful affair. Advert | Become a Supporter & go ad-free Such was the degree of accuracy of Bottas’s prediction, it would ultimately transpire that this very same driver’s recovery from the back of the field following a first lap collision all the way to taking second place in the final 100m of the race would only prove to be a minor talking point in post-race discussions. Yes, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix was one of those very special Formula 1 races where few made it to the chequered flag unscathed, few could’ve predicted the result and few are likely to ever forget it. Because not only was this race one of constant chaos and drama, it may have also provided us with some significant spice in the already very tasty rivalry between that … [Read more...] about Championship tensions boil over between Vettel and Hamilton but Ricciardo stays cool · RaceFans
Collision over cannabis
Collision over cannabis Anutin: 'Don't politicise ganja' Two of the brightest stars in politics were on a collision course last week, which had observers speculating on the possibility of one plotting to upstage or even undermine the other. The delisting of cannabis as a narcotic has catapulted Anutin Charnvirakul to stardom, not only as public health minister but as leader of second-biggest coalition partner, the Bhumjaithai Party. As public health minister, he has pushed for cannabis to be decriminalised to allow people to capitalise on its medicinal properties and for research purposes. Also, he prides himself as being a leader of a political party able to overcome the unthinkable -- removing cannabis from the narcotics list -- which was adopted as Bhumjaithai's flagship campaign promise and dismissed by most people from the outset as wishful thinking. However, decriminalisation has come with a chorus of warnings from medical professionals about the dangers of … [Read more...] about Collision over cannabis

An Afghan man with his injured children at a hospital in Sharan, Paktika province, following the eartrhquake. SHARAN, Afghanistan: Desperate rescuers battled against the clock Thursday under pouring rain to pull survivors from the rubble after a powerful quake struck a mountainous border region of Afghanistan, killing at least 1,000 people. The 5.9-magnitude quake struck hardest in the rugged east, where people already lead hardscrabble lives in the grip of a humanitarian crisis made worse since the Taliban takeover in August. "People are digging grave after grave," said Mohammad Amin Huzaifa, head of the Information and Culture Department in hard-hit Paktika, adding that at least 1,000 people had died in that province alone. He said more than 1,500 people were injured, many critically. "People are still trapped under the rubble," he told journalists.
