Erdoğan gives civil servants 45 percent pay rise in Turkey’s tight election race

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:15:53 GMT

ISTANBUL — In a sign President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan realizes he needs to pull out all the stops before Turkey’s too-close-to-call election in five days, he announced a 45 percent pay hike for hundreds of thousands of civil servants on Tuesday. The decision affects more than 700,000 public workers, who will now be paid a minimum monthly wage of 15,000 Turkish lira (€700).The announcement is seen as a move to attract voters in a tight election race dominated by the economy. Erdoğan’s economic policies, once one of his main selling points, are unpopular, largely due to high inflation and a tumbling lira. “Within the framework of this collective bargaining agreement, we are raising wages by 45 percent, including the welfare share, thus increasing the minimum wage of public workers to 15,000 lira,” Erdogan said in the capital Ankara.Erdoğan signaled the government would also raise the wages and pensions of civil servants.The announcement was a ...

Belgium violated serial killer’s rights, European rights court rules

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:15:53 GMT

Belgium violated the rights of a man who is currently jailed for several murders committed in the 1970s and has been consistently denied early release since then, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled Tuesday.Freddy Horion, born in 1947, has been detained since 1979 for murdering a family of five, while having previously been found guilty of another murder, according to the court’s ruling.He was sentenced to death by a Belgian court in 1981 — a sentence which was later commuted to life imprisonment.Horion is now in a “predicament” as he has “no realistic prospect of release,” which is a violation of article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights on torture and inhuman treatment, the ECHR said Tuesday.Horion has been eligible for early release since 1993. In the following decades, he filed dozens of requests, which were all denied on the grounds that he was still a danger to society. In March 2017, a group of psychiatric experts found tha...

Pushkin fan accused of aiding Russian strikes says maps were just about mushrooms

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:15:53 GMT

KYIV — It sounds like a story out of a surrealist Russian novel — but according to Ukrainian prosecutors, the danger was very real indeed. They allege that Oleksandr Kostornyy, the 72-year-old head of the “Aleksandr Pushkin’s Russian Society” NGO, provided Russia a map with the locations of Ukrainian servicemen ahead of a deadly missile strike last year. His defense: He was just showing a friend where to pick mushrooms. In videos from courtroom appearances, Kostornyy — who stands accused of treason — can be seen wearing a beige jacket over a black turtleneck, with a mustache and regal bearing right out of Tolstoy. Prosecutors claim that on March 4, 2022, Kostornyy sent a person in Russia-occupied Crimea a map showing the location of the International Peacekeeping and Security Center — a facility used to train and house Ukrainian forces and foreign volunteers near Lviv.  Nine days later, Russians shelled the site, also known as the Yavoriv training groun...

EU lawmakers back tougher rules on methane emissions

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:15:53 GMT

BRUSSELS — The European Parliament on Tuesday voted for stricter measures to reduce emissions of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, dodging a last-minute rebellion. The legislation, proposed by the European Commission in December 2021, applies only to the energy sector, responsible for about a fifth of the bloc’s methane emissions. Lawmakers defeated an effort by a clutch of conservative MEPs to weaken the Parliament’s stance. A comfortable majority — 499 in favor, 79 against and 55 abstentions — backed a compromise text amending the Commission’s proposal with tighter rules for monitoring emissions, as well as more stringent leak detection and repair (LDAR) requirements to tackle leaky fossil fuel infrastructure. The Parliament also asked the Commission to come up with a framework to ensure exporting countries have to abide by similar rules. The regulation is a crucial part of Europe’s climate efforts: Swift action is key to reining in the warming effe...

By LARRY NEUMEISTER (Associated Press)NEW YORK (AP) — A jury in New York City began deliberating Tuesday in the lawsuit brought by columnist E. Jean Carroll, who alleges that Donald Trump raped her in a luxury Manhattan department store in 1996.U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan read instructions on the law to the nine-person jury for about an hour before the panel began discussing Carroll’s allegations of battery and defamation.If they believe Carroll, jurors can award compensatory and punitive damages. Trump, who did not attend the trial, has insisted he never sexually assaulted Carroll or even knew her.Kaplan told jurors that the first question on the verdict form will be to decide whether they think there is more than a 50% chance that Trump raped Carroll inside a store’s dressing room. If they answer yes, they will then decide whether compensatory and punitive damages should be awarded.Otherwise, the judge instructed, they will decide whether Carroll had prov...
