The endangered parrots were smuggled into the United States through Miami as eggs, but now they have safely found a new nesting place on the West Coast. More than two dozen parrots are now hidden in the hills near San Diego, under the watchful eye of a guard tortoise named Jean-Louis.The parrots are mostly critically endangered yellow-naped Amazons from Central America.“Maybe 4,000 of these birds left in the wild, at best,” said Brooke Durham. Durham and her team from the nonprofit SoCal Parrot, are taking care of the birds. At only two weeks old, the parrots have already had a difficult life as they were poached from their nests as eggs to be trafficked.They were carried into Miami International Airport in a temperature-controlled, refrigerated bag, but one of the eggs happened to hatch right before the smuggler went through customs.“One of the customs agents, heard the little parrot cheeping sounds that were coming out of the thing and asked to see inside it,R...

Russia’s economy might have taken a battering since its invasion of Ukraine but all is going to plan, President Vladimir Putin declared, arguing his country has made a permanent break with the West.Speaking to business leaders at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum on Friday, the Russian leader said the war raging across the border was proof “the ugly neo-colonial world system has ceased to exist and the multipolar world order is being strengthened.”According to Putin, there is a plan to help Russia’s “long-term sovereign development” and become one of the world’s leading economies. “The strategy chosen by both the state and Russian business has worked,” he added.The country has long lagged behind Western nations in terms of GDP per capita and key developmental indicators, with sanctions imposed on Moscow by the EU and U.S. hitting key sectors such as finance, technology and defense.Just a day before, speaking at the same forum, th...

Longserving Dutch liberal MEP Sophie in ‘t Veld announced Friday she quit her national party Democrats 66 in frustration at its stance on Europe and joined the pan-EU federalist party Volt. In a post online, in ‘t Veld, who has been an MEP since 2004, accused D66 of having an increasingly narrow focus on Dutch domestic politics at the expense of EU politics and took a swipe at the party for failing to root out “transgressive behavior” in its ranks.“Volt’s social-liberal, progressive, radically pro-European vision fits seamlessly with the vision I have,” wrote in ‘t Veld who has fought hard against the use of illegal spyware by EU governments, been critical of Hungary’s leader Viktor Orbán, and advocated a stronger role for the European Parliament against the European Commission and Council of the EU.Volt has two MPs in the Dutch parliament, one in Bulgaria and one MEP in Europe — the German lawmaker Damian Boeselager — who described hi...

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Justice Department accused Minneapolis police Friday of engaging in a pattern of violating constitutional rights and discriminating against Black and Native American people following an investigation prompted by the killing of George Floyd.The sweeping two-year civil rights investigation concluded that systemic problems in the Minneapolis Police Department “made what happened to George Floyd possible.”The investigation found that Minneapolis officers used excessive force, including “unjustified deadly force,” and violated the rights of people engaged in constitutionally protected speech.The probe also found that both Minneapolis police and the city discriminated against people with “behavioral health disabilities” when officers are called for help.As a result, the city and the police department agreed to a deal known as a federal consent decree, which will require reforms to be overseen by an independent monitor and approved by a federal judge.
