Colorado seatbelt use continues to lag behind national average

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:12:25 GMT

PARKER, Colo. (KDVR) -- It takes less than a second to buckle your seatbelt, and it could save your life. Yet statistics show Coloradans still don't buckle up as often as the average American. A 2020 visual survey by the Colorado Department of Transportation revealed that only 87% of Coloradans were wearing a seatbelt, well below the national average of 91.6%.It's a troubling statistic for parents like Christy Schultz, who lost her daughter Sammie following a crash in 2020. “I started walking over, and to be honest, the accident didn’t look that bad, I could see both cars, neither was upside down," Schultz said. "It was something you wouldn’t think was a major accident, and then I saw my daughter’s shoe in the middle of the road, and that’s when I realized this is way more serious than I think.”Sammie was not wearing a seatbelt and would die at Children's Hospital six days later, one day after her 15th birthday.Schultz said Sammie always wore ...

US expects to begin delivering Abrams tanks to Ukraine in September

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:12:25 GMT

U.S. Abrams tanks are likely to arrive on the Ukrainian battlefield in September, according to six people familiar with the planning, as Kyiv’s forces push to retake territory in a counteroffensive that is picking up steam.The plan is to send a handful of Abrams tanks to Germany in August, where they will undergo final refurbishments. Once that process is complete, the first batch of Abrams will be shipped to Ukraine the following month.The potential August and September deliveries mark the most specific time frame provided for when America’s main battle tank is expected to roll onto the battlefield. Pentagon officials have previously said the Abrams would be in Ukrainian hands sometime in the fall.The U.S. is sending older M1A1 models instead of the more modern A2 version, which would have taken a year to get to Ukraine.The six people — a Defense Department official, a U.S. official, an industry official, a congressional aide and two others familiar with the discussions —...

EU trade deals risk affordability of generic medicines for Global South

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:12:25 GMT

Ban Ki-Moon is the 8th U.N. secretary-general and Club de Madrid honorary member. Winnie Byanyima is the executive director of UNAIDS.India has long been known as the “pharmacy of the world,” producing generic medicines at prices that other developing countries and global institutions can afford. The country was the single largest supplier of pharmaceutical products to Africa in 2018, and accounted for a fifth of the continent’s pharmaceutical imports.However, as the European Union now negotiates free trade agreements with India and Indonesia — another major generics-producing nation — the bloc’s been proposing far stricter protection of intellectual property rights. And such protection could threaten the affordability of generic medicines these countries export to the Global South.It’s vital we remember the lessons of the HIV and AIDS pandemic. It was the influx of affordable generics from India that helped drive down the price of treatment from over $10,000 to unde...

Outcry in Poland after claims that prosecutors drained cesspit in abortion probe

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:12:25 GMT

WARSAW — The political row over sexual and reproductive rights in Poland has reignited after local media reported Wednesday that a woman who miscarried had her house’s cesspit drained in search of the fetus on orders of a prosecutor seeking to find out if the miscarriage was in fact an abortion.The report is the latest in a series of high-profile incidents concerning Polish authorities’ heavy-handedness around abortion laws and has sparked public outcry ahead of the country’s general election in October.The ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party — which implemented a near-total ban on abortion that took effect in 2021 — is looking to win an unprecedented third straight term in office.But reports of law enforcement going after women who lost their pregnancies or took abortion pills threaten the ruling party’s chances of winning. Polls show that nearly 84 percent of Poles want liberalization of the abortion law.A July poll for OKO.Press and TOK FM indicates that while 39 percent of m...

Twitter’s turn to X marks the spot for EU trademark trouble

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:12:25 GMT

BRUSSELS — Twitter turned into X this week, marking the spot for trademark lawyers to send off legal warnings to its billionaire owner Elon Musk.Rockers Metallica, software giant Microsoft, carmaker Honda and sportswear brand Adidas all own versions of X as a trademark.There are already 262 Xs registered as trademarks with the European Union’s Intellectual Property Office, according to an agency database. These give companies exclusive rights to use X in certain design formats, for certain purposes — such as clothing — or for certain industries, such as entertainment or financial services. Musk changed the name of the social media known as Twitter earlier this week, a rebrand that’s apparently part of a broad plan to turn it into an “everything app” to offer commercial services on a platform once central to online public debate.But there’s no sign of Twitter or Musk owning an EU trademark for X.“If one plans to change the name, certainly a well-kno...

EU has no easy options to help Ukraine shift its grain

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:12:25 GMT

Pressure is mounting on the EU to move even more of Ukraine’s stranded agricultural surplus after Moscow refused to rejoin a U.N.-backed deal to allow Kyiv to export grain across the Black Sea and unleashed a wave of attacks on Ukrainian seaports.Brussels says the EU is perfectly capable of exporting all of the grain and other agricultural products backed up in Ukraine as a result of Russia’s 17-month-old war of aggression and decision last week to terminate the Black Sea Grain Initiative.“We are ready to export by solidarity lanes almost everything that Ukraine needs to export,” EU Agriculture Commissioner Janusz Wojciechowski said on the sidelines of a meeting of EU agriculture ministers in Brussels this week.Despite that confident statement, the EU’s solidarity lanes — overland corridors set up to facilitate transit by road, rail and inland waterway — are under strain. The bloc has struggled to boost their capacity and faces pushback from eastern member countries ...
