DENVER (KDVR) — Richard Will spends a portion of his time out of state.

Southwest flight attendants sue for rights under Colorado sick leave law Will said there are other problems as well."They informed the sender that we no longer lived in Colorado," Will said.

PARKER, Colo.

I felt like a medical pioneer."Two months post-surgery, Kuhlmann said she's feeling great and walking long distances every day.Robotic transplan...

The EU wants to cure your teen’s smartphone addiction 

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:59:40 GMT

Glazed eyes. One syllable responses. The steady tinkle of beeps and buzzes coming out of a smartphone’s speakers. It’s a familiar scene for parents around the world as they battle with their kids’ internet use. Just ask Věra Jourová: When her 10-year old grandson is in front of a screen “nothing around him exists any longer, not even the granny,” the transparency commissioner told a European Parliament event in June.Countries are now taking the first steps to rein in excessive — and potentially harmful — use of big social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. China wants to limit screen time to 40 minutes for children aged under eight, while the U.S. state of Utah has imposed a digital curfew for minors and parental consent to use social media. France has targeted manufacturers, requiring them to install a parental control system that can be activated when their device is turned on. The EU has its own sweeping plans. It’s taking bold steps with ...

UK banks shun companies trading with Ukraine

LONDON — Banks are forcibly closing the accounts of British firms that trade with Ukrainian counterparts due to concerns over Russian sanctions and money laundering, business leaders have warned, hampering wider efforts to support Ukraine’s war-ravaged economy.In a letter to U.K. Treasury Minister Andrew Griffith, seen by POLITICO, British-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce (BUCC) Co-Chair Bate Toms said British firms are increasingly “afraid to trade with Ukraine from the U.K.” due to the risk of being de-banked.The letter, dated July 26 and also copied to U.K. Business and Trade Minister Nusrat Ghani, states the BUCC has received multiple complaints from firms who have had bank accounts closed — or their attempts to set up accounts rejected — because of dealings in Ukraine. “Conducting even one Ukrainian transaction can lead to an account being closed,” Toms wrote. “U.K. banks generally refuse to open accounts if any Ukrainian trade is contemplated.”Banks insist they ...
