Italian police say three Italian environmental activists glued their hands to the glass protecting Botticelli's masterpiece painting “Spring” in the Uffizi Galleries. The museum in Florence says thanks to the glass, no damage was done to the iconic painting in the incident Friday morning. Carabinieri police said two young women and a man, all Italians who had bought entrance tickets, staged the protest in the Uffizi's room dedicated to the painter. They sat on the floor and displayed a banner reading, “Last Generation No Gas No Coal.” The glue was safely removed from the glass protecting the painting.

PHILADELPHIA — With "Nope" now in theaters, it looks like director Jordan Peele has yet another hit on his hands, following the massive success of "Get Out" and "Us." While we expected Peele's latest directorial effort to be good, we didn't expect to find a Philadelphia connection to the movie.
The North Carolina General Assembly won’t work next week, even though it’s scheduled for a brief return to Raleigh after adjourning in early July. The House and Senate plan floor meetings for Tuesday, but spokespeople for House Speaker Tim Moore and Senate leader Phil Berger said Friday that no votes are expected.

The legislature has lined up brief work periods every month through December to address vetoes, unforeseen happenings or negotiated legislation. That could include a Medicaid expansion bill.
Italy's politicians are in campaign mode after coalition allies toppled Premier Mario Draghi's government. Italy's president said he reluctantly accepted Draghi's resignation and put a premature end to the Italian Parliament's term. Perhaps the quickest to spring into action was right-wing leader Matteo Salvini, who is keen on becoming premier himself. His League party was one of the coalition allies that sabotaged Draghi. Salvini gave a state TV interview hours after President Sergio Mattarella paved the way for an early election. Instead of the half-buttoned shirt and jeans or beach shorts he often favors, he wore a suit and tie. Former Premier Silvio Berlusconi began his party's campaign with a populist pledge on Friday.

Federal prosecutors said Bledsoe illegally entered the Capitol grounds and then scaled a wall and entered the Capitol Building.

ITHACA, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 22, 2022--
Indigenous Canadians are voicing a range of skepticism, wariness and hope as Pope Francis prepares to arrive in their country next week. He's scheduled to deliver a historic apology for abuses at Catholic-run residential schools. Generations of Indigenous children were sent to the schools in a system designed to sever them from their tribal families and traditions. Thousands died from disease, fire and other causes at Catholic and Protestant-run schools. Francis apologized in April to a Canadian Indigenous delegation at the Vatican for the “deplorable conduct” at the schools. Now he'll be apologizing on Canadian soil at the site of a former residential school.

For the families and friends of Ukrainian soldiers killed this spring in the siege of the massive Azovstal steel mill in the city of Mariupol, it has been difficult to begin finding closure.

At a funeral Thursday for a soldier who was finally identified, a former POW captured at the sprawling plant two months ago was able to finally say a farewell to his friend, 26-year-old Ilya Honcharov.

The Federal Election Commission has rejected a complaint accusing a Georgia congressman of violating campaign finance laws. The commission sent Republican Rep. Buddy Carter a letter Wednesday stating the congressman acted legally last year when he spent money to explore a possible U.S. Senate race without declaring himself a candidate. The Georgia Democratic Party filed the complaint last August after Carter ran a statewide TV ad criticizing Major League Baseball's decision to pull its All-Star Game from the state. The complaint claimed Carter should have formally declared his Senate candidacy, in part because the $75,000 ad aired mostly outside his House district. The FEC noted the ad never mentioned the Senate race. Carter ultimately opted to seek reelection to the House.
Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters turned herself in to law enforcement on Thursday, Pitkin County officials said. She was booked at the county jail at 9:22 p.m. because authorities said Peters violated the terms of her bail and a protective order forbidding her from contacting election staff in Mesa County. Peters was released Thursday night after paying her bond. Peters is being charged with seven felonies for her role in the break-in of her own election system. Her attorneys just convinced a judge not to send her back to jail for violating the terms of her release by traveling to Nevada for a conference of election deniers.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner thinks fans should be free to express themselves at Formula One races because heated rivalries are common in sport. But he says there should be “zero tolerance” for the abuse and bullying witnessed at the Austrian Grand Prix. Fans used social media to make F1 aware of rampant harassment, sexism, racism, and homophobia in the grandstands of Spielberg two weeks ago. In an interview with The Associated Press, Horner says "any form of abuse or bullying, there should be an absolutely zero tolerance policy towards.” There has been boorish behavior at several races this season.

A Kentucky judge has issued a ruling that continues to keep the state’s near-total ban on abortion from taking effect. The state's only two clinics had asked Jefferson Circuit Judge Mitch Perry to grant the injunction. The judge's ruling Friday says there is “a substantial likelihood” that Kentucky’s new abortion law violates the rights to privacy and self-determination protected by the state's constitution. The injunction follows a restraining order issued by the same judge in June. Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron is likely to turn now to the state appeals court.
Nebraska's attorney general says he will not file criminal charges against fellow Republican and former state lawmaker Mike Groene over photos the ex-lawmaker surreptitiously took of an aide. The office of Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson said Thursday that there is not enough information from the results of a Nebraska State Patrol investigation to warrant criminal charges. Groene, of North Platte, resigned from office earlier this year after acknowledging that he photographed a legislative aide in his office without her knowledge. Groene told the Omaha World-Herald on Thursday that he had been vindicated by Peterson's decision and that he regretted resigning from the Legislature.
