On March 7, 2023, the Court of Appeal of the French city of Aix-en-Provence ruled to impose a fine on Mukhtar Ablyazov for failing to appear in court. The court refused to accept Ablyazov's arguments about political persecution as an excuse for not appearing.Mukhtar Ablyazov was supposed to appear in the court of Aix-en-Provence on June 15 and 16, 2021 for interrogation. At the last moment before the meeting, Ablyazov, through his lawyer, announced that he did not intend to follow the instructions of the French court, arguing his decision with fear of political persecution.Later, BTA filed a motion to impose a fine on Ablyazov due to his failure to appear in court.

Ablyazov was also deprived of refugee status, first in England and then in France, so he could not use this status to fail to appear in court. At the same time, earlier the investigating judge appointed Ablyazo...

I'm going to modify that quote just a little bit for today, and say: To all who come to this happiest of lands in this happiest place, welcome. We are so thrilled that you are here as part of, not just the opening of Toontown, but quite honestly the continuation, and further excitement of the 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company.

Newsom proposal would add billions for mental health treatment beds

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:40:38 GMT

In a major legislative proposal to combat the state’s growing homelessness crisis, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Sunday an effort to push billions of dollars toward building a vast network of treatment beds to help California’s mentally ill and drug-addicted residents find care.Through a bond measure that could reach up to $5 billion, the governor hopes to build at minimum 6,000 new mental health beds across the state. Funding would also come through the diversion of over $1 billion annually from a pool of money created by a proposition passed by voters almost two decades ago.“It is unacceptable what we’re dealing with at scale in California,” Newsom said at a press conference on Sunday in San Diego announcing the new effort. “We have to address and come to grips with the reality of mental health in our state and nation.”Both the bond measure and diversion of funds would have to pass the muster of the legislature before being placed on the ballot an...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:40:38 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Amine Adli was twice booked for diving, twice excused, and Bayer Leverkusen scored twice from the resulting penalties to upset Bayern Munich 2-1.Bayern’s third defeat of the season left Borussia Dortmund top of the Bundesliga on Sunday.Referee Tobias Stieler had VAR to thank — twice — after getting it wrong initially both times. He apologized to Adli on each occasion after consulting replays which showed the French player had, in fact, been fouled first by Benjamin Pavard, then Dayot Upamecano. “It was the perfect example today of great collaboration with the video assistant,” Stieler said. “He gets a lot of complaints and is always very harshly criticized. Today it was a lifesaver for the game.”Exequiel Palacios scored both penalties to end Bayern’s four-game winning run across all competitions and leave Dortmund one point clear with nine rounds remaining.“It was a very important game for us. We knew that before the game but were unable to show it on...

El Clásico: FC Barcelona prevalece 2-1 frente al Real Madrid en un partido de infarto

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:40:38 GMT

MADRID, España- El Barcelona ha dejado prácticamente sentenciada la lucha por el título de liga tras imponerse al Real Madrid por 2-1 en un clásico que se resolvió entre la falta de pegada del equipo de Carlo Ancelotti cuando tuvo opciones para recobrar vida y dos goles en los tramos finales de ambos periodos, el último obra del marfileño Franck Kessie en la prolongación.El triunfo otorga al equipo de Xavi Hernández doce puntos de ventaja. Queda bastante campeonato, pero es una diferencia que se antoja prácticamente imposible de remontar para un cuadro blanco sin colmillo, con Vinicius Junior prácticamente como único recurso en ataque ya que Karim Benzema demostró estar muy lejos de su mejor versión.No pudo ni siquiera rentabilizar el equipo de Ancelotti el autogol inicial del uruguayo Ronald Araujo (m.9) al desviar un centro de Vinicius, que podía haber supuesto un golpe muy duro para el Barcelona, que había salido con mucha más mordiente y que hizo trabajar al meta belga Thibaut C...
