Soccer referees to wear body cameras after Sydney violence

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:21:51 GMT

SYDNEY (AP) — Body cameras will be worn by referees in an amateur Sydney soccer league a week after one of their colleagues had his jaw broken by a suspended player.The 45-year-old referee, Khodr Yaghi, needed reconstructive surgery and spent four nights in a hospital after being struck by a man who went onto the field at the end of a match in the city’s west last week. Bankstown District Amateur Football Association said that from Friday, it will begin a body camera trial for referees in its senior men’s matches.“Once the trial is running and we have evaluated its effectiveness, we will look to roll out body cameras in other competitions,” the league said. Organizers are also cracking down on abuse directed at referees, saying some coaches and managers considered it “their right to question or worse, argue or abuse referees.”The man who struck Yaghi was charged by police with affray (threat of unlawful violence) and wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

Editorial: Keep your promise, Biden – green jobs for Americans

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:21:51 GMT

Off-shore wind projects, part of the Biden administration’s clean energy push, are bringing border security issues to our coastline.A House Coast Guard authorization package seems like a benign bit of legislation, but as RollCall reported, it’s anything  but. On one side, lawmakers are fighting to keep crew requirements that they say provide incentives for offshore energy developers deploy more domestic vessels with American crews.On the other, advocates of offshore wind, oil and gas on Capitol Hill, argue that keeping the requirements would halt some key energy development projects, many of which rely on foreign labor.Wasn’t the Inflation Reduction Act’s offshore wind bonanza supposed to create good jobs in green energy for American workers?The requirements in question would mandate offshore vessels operating on the Outer Continental Shelf be crewed by members of the same nationality as the flag of the vessel, limit the amount of visas offshore energy develo...

‘Carmen’ dances around tale of star-crossed lovers

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:21:51 GMT

MOVIE REVIEW“Carmen”Rated R. In English and Spanish with subtitles. At the Kendall Square Cinema.Grade: BThis new “Carmen” from choreographer-turned-director Benjamin Millepied is not based on the famous opera by Georges Bizet. The film is based on the source material for the opera, the 1824 poem “The Gypsies” by Alexander Pushkin and “Carmen,” the 1845 novella by Prosper Merimee. The story has been updated by several writers, including Alexander Dinelaris (“Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance”). The new setting is the Mexican-U.S. border and Los Angeles (the film was shot in Australia). It tells the tale of the doomed love affair of Aidan (Paul Mescal), a troubled young man and ex-Marine with PTSD who must flee the scene of a crime involving immigrants, and Carmen (Melissa Barrera, “In the Heights”), a beautiful young immigrant woman, whose mother has died and who seeks her future in the United States. The two meet under violent circumstances, reflected in the stor...

Graham: NBC’s ‘underage’ migrant gaffe reveals fake ID debacle

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:21:51 GMT

NBC News recently made news of its own when it was forced to retract its investigative story about “Pedro,” whom the network presented as a 16-year-old from Guatemala who got a job cleaning slaughterhouses in Kansas.Pedro was, in fact, 21, and his story was as fake as the documents he got from the criminal network that helped him cross the border and illegally obtain a job. His employer, Packers Sanitation Services Inc. (PSSI), says NBC’s gaffe shows the no-win situation for employers trying to hire immigrant workers and play by the rules — a sentiment echoed by a growing number of immigration and labor experts.The industrial services company provides good-paying jobs for workers with few skills, making it a magnet for immigrants wanting work. But the flood of undocumented migrants and a wave of identity theft and fake IDs has left PSSI and other businesses stranded on the front line of immigrant enforcement.As PSSI said when NBC first aired the erroneous report, this is part of a n...
