A teacher says a Nebraska public district that shuttered a student newspaper following an LGBTQ-focused edition has agreed to bring it back next year in digital form. Newspaper adviser Kirsten Gilliland told the Grand Island Independent last week that The Saga will return to Northwest High School’s class offerings in the spring semester but without her at the helm. A civil rights organization that has said it could take legal action over the newspaper’s closing says that isn’t good enough. The American Civil Liberties Union of Nebraska says the district must instate policies that protect LGBTQ students and student journalists.

Newsom is the fourth of the women Weinstein is accused of assaulting to testify at his Los Angeles trial. The 48-year-old was an aspiring actress in 2004 when she says Weinstein raped her at a Beverly Hills hotel during what she thought was going to be a business meeting. Weinstein’s attorney said during opening statements that she had consensual sex with the former movie mogul to try to get ahead in Hollywood.

Natasa Pirc Musar has been a human rights lawyer, a TV presenter and ran Slovenia’s top data protection agency and its Red Cross. Now she is the small European Union country’s first female president. She tells The Associated Press that “not a single day of my life have I said: ‘Oh God, I have to go to work.” The human rights lawyer was chosen years ago by former U.S. first lady Melania Trump to protect her interests in her native Slovenia. After Pirc Musar’s election victory on Sunday, she got a call of congratulations from Melania Trump. The 54-year-old liberal soundly beat a conservative candidate, boosting the country’s center-left government that won power in April.

Three University of Virginia football players killed in an on-campus shooting were remembered Monday by head football coach Tony Elliott as “all good kids.” Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr., and D’Sean Perry were returning from a class trip Sunday night when authorities say they were killed by a fellow student. The young men were athletes who’d been journeying through varying periods of transition in their college football careers. One was bouncing back from a season-ending injury. Another had changed positions on the team. And yet another had recently transferred in from the University of Wisconsin.

A group of anti-abortion doctors in Mississippi say the validity of the state’s law banning most abortions remains uncertain. The doctors argue in a lawsuit filed Monday that another legal victory is required to clarify the ban and protect them from possible punishment by medical institutions. The Mississippi Justice Institute filed the lawsuit on behalf of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists against the Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure and its executive director, Dr. Kenneth Cleveland. The lawsuit argues that while the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the state Supreme Court must overturn its 1998 opinion holding that abortion is a right protected by the Mississippi Constitution.
Gov. Mike Dunleavy has appointed Alaska state health commissioner Adam Crum to lead the state Department of Revenue. Crum starts in his new role Wednesday. The appointment is subject to confirmation by the state Legislature. The Alaska Department of Health and Social Services was the largest department in state government.

Earlier this year, the department was split in two as part of a reorganization – into the Department of Health and the Department of Family and Community Services. Dunleavy appointed Crum as commissioner of the health department. Heidi Hedberg, who has been director of the Division of Public Health, will be acting commissioner of the health department.

Canadian police have charged a Hydro-Québec employee on Monday with espionage for allegedly sending trade secrets to China. Yuesheng Wang will appear in court in Longueuil, Quebec, Tuesday to face charges of obtaining trade secrets, using a computer without authorization, and with fraud and breach of trust by a public officer.

José Irizarry accepts that he’s known as the most corrupt agent in U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration history, admitting he conspired with Colombian cartels to build a lavish lifestyle of sportscars, jewels and paramours around the world. But as he used his final hours of freedom to tell his story to The Associated Press, Irizarry says he won’t go down alone, accusing long-trusted DEA colleagues of joining him in skimming millions from money laundering stings to fund a decade-long joyride of luxury travel, strip clubs, party boats and prostitutes. Now federal investigators are following Irizarry’s confessional roadmap, questioning up to two-dozen agents and prosecutors.

Baker Mayfield will start at quarterback for the Carolina Panthers on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens after P.J. Walker was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain. Walker was injured in Thursday night’s 25-15 victory against the Atlanta Falcons but coach Steve Wilks said Walker toughed it out and continued to play. Walker will not be available on Sunday and Sam Darnold will be the backup. Mayfield started the first five games with the Panthers and struggled, going 1-4 with four touchdowns and four interceptions and a 71.9 quarterback rating. He relieved Walker two weeks ago at Cincinnati with the Panthers trailing 35-0 at halftime and threw for 155 yards and two touchdowns.

Zhao provided no details on the fund’s size or scope, or how the funds would be distributed.
Appeals court keeps President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan on hold in program’s latest legal setback.
President Joe Biden’s plan to forgive student loan debt for millions of borrowers lost another battle in court on Monday when a federal appeals court panel agreed to a preliminary injunction halting the program while an appeal plays out. The ruling by the three-judge panel from the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis came days after a federal judge in Texas blocked the program, saying it usurped Congress’ power to make laws. The Texas case was appealed and the administration is likely to appeal the 8th Circuit ruling as well.

The U.N. General Assembly has approved a resolution calling for Russia to be held accountable for violating international law by invading Ukraine, including by paying reparations. Monday’s vote in the 193-member world body was 94-14 with 73 abstentions. It was the lowest level of support of the five Ukraine-related resolutions adopted by the assembly. The resolution recognizes the need to establish “an international mechanism for reparation for damage, loss or injury’” arising from Russia’s “wrongful acts” against Ukraine. It recommends that the assembly’s members, in cooperation with Ukraine, create “an international register” to document claims and information on damage, loss or injury to Ukrainians and the government caused by Russia.

The Biden administration has determined that Iranian threats against former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and one of his former top aides remain credible and persist. The State Department notified Congress last week that both Pompeo and Brian Hook, who served as special representative for Iran during the Trump administration, were still both subject to a “serious and credible threat from a foreign power” stemming from their government work. The determinations were signed by Deputy Secretary of State for Management Brian McKeon on Nov. 8 and sent to Congress on Nov. 9, according to the notifications obtained by The Associated Press. The AP reported in March that the State Department was paying more than $2 million per month to provide 24-hour security to Pompeo and Hook.

Serb lawmakers, prosecutors and police officers in Kosovo’s northern Mitrovica region resigned over the move. EU EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said Monday that “in this vacuum the worst can happen.” He says that if an agreement is not found by Nov. 21, “we will be on the edge of a dangerous situation.”
