Bp Faces Billions In Fines As Spill Trial Nears

Roaches — dead and alive — in the kitchen, along with a soiled floor and wall on the cook line, led the state to shut one South Florida restaurant last week. There were also “temperature abuse” issues. The South Florida Sun Sentinel typically highlights restaurant inspections conducted by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation in Broward and Palm Beach counties.

The Broward State Attorney’s Office is taking aim at human trafficking by uniting businesses, landlord and law enforcement against illegal massage parlors that not-so-secretly offer more than back rubs to their clients. State Attorney Harold F. Pryor is calling it the Stop Abuse, Fight Exploitation (or S. A. F. E.) Initiative and said its goals are preventing victim recruitment, closing illegal businesses and disrupting profit. “The S.

By HALELUYA HADERO (AP Business Writer) TikTok and its Chinese parent company ByteDance are suing the U. S. over a law that would ban the popular video-sharing app unless it’s sold to another company, arguing that it violates the First Amendment. The widely expected lawsuit filed on Tuesday may be setting up what could be a protracted legal fight over TikTok’s future in the United States. The popular social video company alleged the law, which President Joe Biden signed as part of a larger $95 billion foreign aid package, is so “obviously unconstitutional” that the sponsors of The Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act are trying to portray the law not as a ban, but as a regulation of TikTok’s ownership.

By MICHELLE L. PRICE and ADRIANA GOMEZ LICON (Associated Press) NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump is accusing Joe Biden of offering a weak response to antisemitism, wielding the clashes on colleges campuses over the war in Gaza as a campaign issue. But Trump’s attacks ignore his own long history of rhetoric that invokes the language of Nazi Germany and plays on stereotypes of Jews and politics. The latest example came over the weekend, when Trump — accusing the White House of having a role in his multiple state and federal criminal prosecutions — told Republican donors gathered for a private retreat at his Florida resort that Biden is running a “Gestapo administration,” referring to the secret police force of Nazi Germany. Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, called it a “deliberate tactic” to attack Biden and distract from his own track record. “It’s wholly aligned with his long history of offensive and irresponsible comments when it comes to the Jewish community, including the normalization of antisemitism,” Spitalnick said. Biden’s campaign called it “despicable” and an attack on law enforcement. Trump’s attempts to claim a moral high ground against antisemitism come as the Democratic president is navigating the intense divisions of the Israel-Hamas war and the resulting unrest from demonstrations.

8212; Prince Harry arrived in London on Tuesday to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games but won’t see his father during the visit, a spokesperson said. King Charles III, who returned to his official duties last week after being sidelined for three months with cancer, is too busy to meet up with his youngest son, the spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex said. “The duke of course is understanding of his father’s … commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon,” a statement said. Harry, who has a strained relationship with his family, rushed to London in February for a very brief visit after his father was diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer. Harry, 39, has seen his father infrequently since the prince quit royal duties in 2020 and moved to California with his wife, Meghan, citing what they said were unbearable intrusions and racist attitudes of the British media.

By ZEKE MILLER (AP White House Correspondent) WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Tuesday decried a “ferocious surge” in antisemitism on college campuses and around the globe in the months since Hamas attacked Israel and triggered a war in Gaza, using a ceremony to remember victims of the Holocaust to also denounce new waves of violence and hateful rhetoric toward Jews. Biden said that on Oct.
