Happy 4th of July, South Florida!Hopefully this week has started off on a nice note. For some, the holiday is a 4-day weekend and the long holiday weekend has brought on the heat across South Florida. Afternoon high temperatures on Monday reached into the mid 90s while feels-like temperatures were already in the triple digits before lunchtime yesterday. And while some of us saw a few showers and isolated thunderstorms, most of the thunderstorm activity remained well west of our area. This morning it was calm and quiet with showers across the Atlantic near the Bahamas drifting in no real direction.Feels like temperatures on Monday were in the triple digits for an extended period of time and today South Florida can expect much of the same.

Because of this, a heat advisory has been issued for all...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:07:48 GMT

Russia’s use of facial recognition technology to arrest a protester on the Moscow subway violated his human rights, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled Tuesday.“The use of facial-recognition technology in his case ha[s] been incompatible with the ideals and values of a democratic society governed by the rule of law,” the court said in its ruling.Nikolay Glukhin, a Russian citizen, travelled on Moscow’s underground in August 2019 carrying a life-sized cardboard figure of the dissident Konstantin Kotov, who was imprisoned for taking part in unsanctioned rallies. The cutout of Kotov was holding a banner that said “I’m facing up to five years … for peaceful protests.”Glukhin was arrested several days after his solo protest while travelling on the metro, and charged with failing to notify the authorities of his demonstration. He was fined 20,000 roubles (around €200).“The processing of Mr. Glukhin’s personal data in the context of his...
