Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:00:56 GMT

By BRIAN MELLEY | Associated PressLONDON  — The publisher of British tabloid the Daily Mirror has acknowledged and apologized for unlawfully gathering information about Prince Harry in its reporting, and said it warrants compensation, at the outset of the prince’s first phone hacking trial Wednesday.The admission was made in court filings outlining Mirror Group Newspapers’ defense.The group continued to deny that it hacked phones to intercept voicemail messages, and said that Harry and three less-well-known celebrities brought their claims beyond a time limit.But it acknowledged there was “some evidence of the instruction of third parties to engage in other types of UIG (unlawful information gathering) in respect of each of the claimants,” which includes the Duke of Sussex. It said this “warrants compensation” but didn’t spell out what form that might take.“MGN unreservedly apologizes for all such instances of UIG, and assures the claimants that such conduct will never be repeated,”...

Los Gatos moves to make a name for itself as tourist destination

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:00:56 GMT

Catherine Somers has always wanted Los Gatos to be seen as a tourist destination. But by the time the town council came around to her vision—approving $88,000 last week to fund the town’s Visitor and Information Center, social media and marketing—it was too late for her and the Chamber of Commerce she oversees as executive director. Somers is stepping down on June 30, and the rest of the Chamber’s three-person staff is set to leave this summer.“We were totally surprised,” Somers said of the allocation. “We weren’t even going to say anything this year because of the budget constraints. They never really listened to us before.”Somers said there’s no bad blood between the Chamber and the council, and that the increase in funds will help the new executive director, who has not yet been hired, start with a clean slate.“With that validation and with the new executive director starting here, it really does open the doors for more collaboration with the town staff,” Somers said. “I th...

By Jack Bantock | CNNWhen 19-year-old South Korean prodigy Inbee Park lifted the first of her seven major championships at the 2008 US Women’s Open, she became the tournament’s youngest ever champion.Bella Simões would not be born for around another six years. On Tuesday, she attempted to qualify for the major.At nine years old, the Brazilian is the youngest player ever to attempt qualification to the tournament, set to tee off at California’s acclaimed Pebble Beach course for the first time in its 78-year history in July.Simões hit the very first shot of her qualifying group at The Club at Mediterra in Naples, Florida. An impeccable swing technique — posted to the USGA’s Twitter account — drew plenty of plaudits.Yet that should come as no surprise given Simões’ already-impressive résumé. A US Kids Golf World champion for the under-seven’s category in 2020, she defended her title a year later before clinching another victory in the eig...

AP source: Harris postpones MTV event over writers’ strike

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:00:56 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Hollywood writers’ strike that’s snarling the television and movie industries has now scrambled the White House schedule. A MTV special on mental health that was expected to feature Vice President Kamala Harris next week has been postponed, according to her office.A person familiar with the decision said Harris chose not to travel to the Los Angeles-area event because that would have been seen as crossing the picket line. That’s a political nonstarter for Democrats who rely on union support. The person was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity about the decision to postpone MTV’s Mental Health Action Day Conversation.President Joe Biden called for a “fair deal” for writers at a White House movie screening this week. “Nights like these are a reminder of stories and the importance of treating storytellers with the dignity, respect and the value they deserve,” Biden said. “I sincerely hope the writers s...
