(Reuters) – California Governor Gavin Newsom on Saturday vetoed a bill that would have paid unemployment benefits to striking workers, and had drawn strong support from labor unions and from his fellow Democrats in the state legislature. In rejecting the bill, Newsom noted that the state's unemployment trust fund is already nearing $20 billion in debt. 'Now is not the time to increase costs or incur this sizable debt,' he wrote in a message explaining his veto. The Democratic-majority legislature passed the bill in September amid several high-profile strikes.

PHILADELPHIA—James Harden might have side-eyed questions this week — much like he did in a playful reaction in his Houston days — about his future with the Philadelphia 76ers. But the issue is real in Philly: Will Harden return to the 76ers for a third season? All signs point to Harden declining his $35.6 million option on Thursday and entering this summer as an unrestricted free agent. That leaves the 2018 NBA MVP and 10-time All-Star free to sign with any team. A return to the Rockets? Perhaps, if he prioritizes cash over a championship chase.

WASHINGTON, DC, United States — The Philippines is looking to the US as its 'sole treaty partner' in strengthening and redefining ties amid the tensions in the South China Sea and the Asia Pacific, President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. said on Monday (early morning Tuesday Philippine time) said. In his opening statement before his bilateral meeting with Biden, Marcos said it would only be natural for the Philippines to look to the US in redefining ties, saying the Southeast Asian country was 'possibly and arguably' in the most complicated geopolitical issue across the globe.

The Victorian Greens have called on the Victorian Labor Government to abolish VicForests, following the release of a damning report by the Victorian Information Commissioner (OVIC). The report found that VicForests had conducted unlawful surveillance on several members of the public, who were all conducting legitimate opposition to actions of VicForests at the time. The investigation was conducted after Deputy Leader of the Victorian Greens, Ellen Sandell MP, referred the matter to OVIC. Ms Sandell said VicForests' previous illegal logging, together with today's report, made it clear that VicForests could not be trusted to act within the law.

The formation of the country's first emergency department for the over 80s led to a significant decrease in time spent in A&E – according to research from the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) and University of East Anglia (UEA). The first Older People's Emergency Department in England was opened at NNUH in December 2017 to bring specialists in older people's medicine to the front doors of the hospital and provide earlier assessment and treatment for patients. A new study evaluates the outcomes for patients who received treatment in the main emergency department at NNUH and a similar group of patients who were seen in the Older People's Emergency Department.
