A one-year-old baby is a litigant in a case against the South Korean government over its ‘insufficient’ response to climate change. “Woodpecker”, as the baby boy is nicknamed, was not yet born when his parents filed the case on his behalf, alongside the parents of more than 61 children under the age of five. The young peoples’ case was merged with three similar ones filed between 2020 and 2023, with the first hearing held in the South Korean constitutional court last month. The second and final hearing takes place tomorrow (21 May). Woodpecker isn’t only one of the youngest plaintiffs in clima...

Diddy and Puff Daddy, has admitted that he beat his former girlfriend, Cassie, in a hotel hallway in 2016 after CNN released video footage of the attack.

An appeal has been made by the movie weapons armorer convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer by Alec Baldwin on the set of the Western film “Rust,” according to new court documents.

Lawyers for the US government and Google are presenting closing arguments in the largest US antitrust case in years this week. US District Judge Amit Mehta is set to issue a ruling in the late summer or early autumn. If he decides Google broke the law, another trial will determine how to rein in its market power. The judge went back and forth with Google's main litigator, John Schmidtlein, on the first day of the trial's closing arguments. Mehta questioned whether another company had the money and data necessary to develop a search engine to compete with Google. “It seems to be very, very unli...

In a significant development, New York's highest court has overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction. The decision, decided by a 4-3 vote, was anchored on the premise that the presiding judge in the watershed #MeToo trial had unfairly prejudiced the disgraced former movie mogul with what the court described as “egregious” improper rulings. Among these, the court highlighted a crucial decision allowing women to testify about allegations that were not part of the case. “We conclude that the trial court erroneously admitted testimony of uncharged, alleged prior sexual acts against person...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Megan Thee Stallion forced her cameraman to watch her having sex in a moving car, according to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles. Emilio Garcia says the incident, which happened on the Spanish holiday island of Ibiza, was part of a campaign of harassment that also included fat-shaming him. "Emilio should never have been put in a position of having to be in the vehicle with her while she had sex with another woman," said Garcia's lawyer Ron Zambrano. "'Inappropriate' is putting it lightly. Exposing this behavior to employees is definitely illegal." The suit alleges the inciden...

Having a safe climate is becoming more of a human right globally with this week's European court decision that says countries must better protect people from climate change, something warming-hit residents of the Global South long knew, said former President of Ireland Mary Robinson. Robinson, who was the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, praised Tuesday’s mixed court decision as precedent-setting and change-triggering. The European Court of Human Rights sided with Swiss senior women saying their government wasn't doing enough to protect them from climate shocks, but dismissed...

On Tuesday, Europe’s top human rights court ruled that Switzerland's failure to act on climate change was a human rights violation. The case was brought to the European Court of Human Rights by KlimaSeniorinnen (Swiss Elders for Climate Protection), a group of 2,000 Swiss women all over the age of 64. They argued that they were particularly affected, as older women are most vulnerable to extreme heat which is becoming increasingly common. The court ruled 16-1 in favour of KlimaSeniorinnen but two other cases were thrown out - one from a French mayor and the other from six Portuguese young peop...
