By Associated Press Undefined WAUKEGAN, Ill. (AP) — Attorneys representing a Black woman who was shot and wounded inside a vehicle by a suburban Chicago police officer who also fatally shot her 19-year-old boyfriend called the officer's firing 'a first step in police accountability' but said they are pressing ahead with their own probe of the shooting. Waukegan Police Chief Wayne Walles announced late Friday the firing of the officer who fatally shot Marcellis Stinnette, a Black man, and wounded Tafara Williams, 20. Walles said in a brief statement that the male officer had committed 'multiple policy and procedure violations.' […]

By CALVIN WOODWARD and HOPE YEN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — A more measured President Donald Trump does not necessarily mean a more truthful one. In the final debate of the presidential campaign, he was loose with facts on the crisis of the time — the pandemic — and much else. Trump did, though, exploit confusion sowed by Joe Biden during the primaries, when the Democrat occasionally made his position on energy sound more to the left than it actually is. Trump accurately called out Biden when Biden denied he had ever vowed to ban fracking. That was never Biden's […]

Erdogan suggested Saturday that the French President needed \"some sort of mental treatment\" over his attitude towards Muslims in France.
\"What is Macron's problem with Islam? What is his problem with Muslims?\" Erdogan said, speaking at his Justice and Development Party meeting in Kayseri.
Erdogan added: \"Macron needs some sort of mental treatment. What else is there to say about a head of state who doesn't believe in the freedom of religion and behaves this way against the millions of people of different faiths living in his own country?\"
Macron has vowed to crack down on radical Islamism in France after the country was shaken by the beheading of Samuel Paty on October 16. Paty was a history professor who had taught a class on freedom of expression during which he used controversial caricatures of Islam's Prophet Mohammed from satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. The killing of the teacher by a suspected terrorist in a Paris suburb reignited tensions over secularism, Islamism and Islamophobia in France.
France rebuked Erdogan on Saturday and denounced his comments as \"unacceptable.\"
\"Excess and rudeness are not a method. We demand that Erdogan change the course of his policy because it is dangerous in every way. We do not enter into unnecessary polemics and do not accept insults,\" a spokesperson at the Elysée Palace, home of the French presidency, told CNN.
The spokesperson added that France was recalling its ambassador to Ankara for an \"evaluation of the ongoing situation,\" which they described as a \"rare move.\"
Macron said Tuesday that his government would \"intensify its fight against radical Islamism.\" He said that as a result of Paty's death, dozens of measures had been taken against organizations and individuals \"pushing forward a radical Islamist project, in other words, an ideology aimed at destroying the (French) Republic.\"
The presidency spokesperson pointed out \"the absence of messages of condolence and support from the Turkish president after the assassination of Samuel Paty\" and condemned Erdogan's call to boycott French products, which the presidency deemed \"very offensive.\"
Erdogan and Macron have clashed repeatedly in the past.
Last month, the Turkish leader blasted his French counterpart after he criticized Turkey over controversial activities in the eastern Mediterranean, warning Macron \"not to mess with the Turkish nation and Turkey.\"
On Saturday Pakistan's outspoken Prime Minister Imran Khan also criticized Macron over his stance on Islamism and accused him of \"attacking Islam.\"
\"The last thing the world wants or needs is further polarisation. Public statements based on ignorance will create more hate, Islamophobia & space for extremists. through encouraging the display of blasphemous cartoons targeting Islam & our Prophet,\" Khan wrote on Twitter.
Khan went on to allege that Macron had \"attacked & hurt the sentiments of millions of Muslims in Europe & across the world.\"

NURSES have objected to the decision by the Health ministry to scrap the flexible working hours system so that they can work for 40 hours a week. BY HARRIET CHIKANDIWA Health secretary Jasper Chimedza on October 19 directed provincial medical directors to resume normal working hours for all nurses, saying the flexi working hours were creating artificial nurse shortages. But Zimbabwe Nurses Association president Enock Dongo, in a letter to Chimedza dated October 21, objected to the order, accusing the permanent secretary of making unilateral decisions. “The decision to implement the flexible working hour system is a product of agreement within the HSBNP [Health Service Bipartite Negotiating Panel]. It was not given unilaterally by the government nor did the employees adopt it on their own accord,” Dongo said. “With this in mind, your decision to unilaterally remove a system which you found in place and, in any event, was reached by agreement, is irregular and certainly not in good faith.” He added that the ministry’s circular ran contrary to the other communication they received on May 11, 2020, where it was put clearly that the flexible hour system would remain in place because it reduced exposure to COVID-19. He said the nurses, therefore, found it unfortunate that he proceeded to remove the flexible hour system when the risk of exposure was still quite high owing to poor supply of personal protective equipment (PPE). “Tied to the above, the flexi-hour system did not only address issues to do with PPE but also addressed issues of incapacity,” Dongo told Chimedza. “When you go to the origins of adopting this system, the reason was that regular working hours were becoming expensive to maintain on the salaries nurses were getting.” lFollow Harriet on Twitter @harrietchikand1
