Germany to classify date rape drugs as weapons to ensure justice for survivors
Germany to classify date rape drugs as weapons to ensure justice for survivors
Classification plan will create basis for ‘significantly stricter’ prosecutions, says interior minister
Germany plans to treat the use of date rape drugs like the use of weapons in prosecutions as part of measures to ensure justice for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.

Companies are blaming AI for job cuts. Critics say it’s a 'good excuse'
Workers are spooked as firms declare AI-driven layoffs, but some critics say the current reductions may be a "market clearance" due to overhiring.

Of course the right answer for music is definitely the 80s, right?
Quick, which decade had the best movies, music, TV & fashion?
Americans don't agree on the decade. But they often say it was a decade they experienced as a school aged kid. For example, the best fashion & music happened in their teenage years.
Do you agree?
