WASHINGTON – A U.S. Senate committee backed legislation on Wednesday to repeal two authorizations for past wars in Iraq, paving the way for a possible vote in the full Senate before the 20th anniversary of the last invasion by American troops. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 13-8 to approve a bill to repeal the 1991 and 2002 Authorizations for the Use of Military Force, or AUMFs, against Iraq, the latest attempt to reassert Congress' role in deciding to send troops into combat. Senate Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has said the full Senate could vote on the legislation in the next few weeks.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Parliamentary Special Select Committee on Human Rights, Election and Institutional Reform will still meet the former and current attorneys-general (A-G) over the discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) given to Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. Despite the DNAA issue being explained by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in the Lower House last week, committee chairman William Leong said the proceedings would continue as the main aim was to study the proposal to separate the powers of the Attorney-General's Chambers (A-GC) and Public Prosecutor's Office.

Tirzepatide is as effective at treating early-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D), a more aggressive form of the condition that normally responds less well to treatment, as it is at treating T2D diagnosed later in life, new research being presented at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Hamburg, Germany (2-6 Oct) has found. Tirzepatide belongs to a new class of drugs that mimic the effect of two hormones involved in blood sugar control and appetite suppression, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP).

Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian (File photo Senate Public Relations and Information Bureau) MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian on Saturday called on the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) to intensify its efforts to eliminate the proliferation of 'ghost' and 'fake' sales receipts explaining how they negatively affect government revenues and microenterprises. 'This is a serious issue. We are talking about a trillion peso-worth of fraudulent receipts going around the system, and it's affecting not only government collection but also taxpayers who are doing honest business,' said Gatchalian, chair of the Senate ways and means committee.

MONTREAL — Giving your neighbor the finger, while maybe not polite, is protected as part of the bird-flipper's right to freedom of expression under the Canadian Constitution, a judge recently ruled. In a 26-page decision, Judge Dennis Galiatsatos of the French-speaking province of Quebec dismissed a case against a man accused of harassing his neighbor in a Montreal suburb. 'To be abundantly clear, it is not a crime to give someone the finger,' he said in a ruling dated February 24. 'Flipping the proverbial bird is a God-given, Charter-enshrined right that belongs to every red-blooded Canadian,' he added, referring to Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
