State and local governments are receiving billions of dollars in opioid settlements to address the drug crisis that has ravaged America for decades. But instead of spending the money on new addiction treatment and prevention services they couldn’t afford before, some jurisdictions are using it to replace existing funding and stretch tight budgets. Scott County, Indiana, for example, has spent more than $250,000 of opioid settlement dollars on salaries for its health director and emergency medical services staff. The money usually budgeted for those salaries was freed to buy an ambulance and cr...

But determining how much of that windfall arrived in a specific county or city — and how much will follow in the future — can be challenging. Most localities are not...

No one was seriously hurt, but the 737 MAX 9 had to make an emergency landing, with footage showing the terrifying scene as passengers sat next to the gaping ho...

Facial identification is a process used by police where the template of an individual’s face is used to identify them in different videos. The Irish Parliament passed the Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Act in December which allows police to wear body cameras and have better access to CCTV foota...

Joe Biden has reacted angrily to an investigation about how he stored and kept classified documents, which means he will not be prosecuted. The US president first expressed satisfaction with a commission's decision that he should not face charges over keeping classified documents at home, emphasising his full cooperation and lack of obstruction with the investigation. Special Counsel Robert Hur cited Biden's cooperation and the difficulty of securing a conviction, considering Biden's advanced age and purported memory issues, as reasons for not pursuing criminal charges. The report highlighted ...
