A federal appeals court reversed a lower court decision and upheld a Housing and Urban Development policy which allows tenants to be evicted from public housing for drug use by their visitors on or near the premises, even if the tenant doesn't know about it. The daughter of one tenant allegedly had cocaine three blocks away. Many countries have introduced tax incentives and other policies to encourage people to get rid of their old cars and replace them with more efficient modern cars.
Environmentalists believe newer cars reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.
But what they have not considered , according to researchers, is that new cars are heavier and more powerful than older ones. Also, common assumptions about switching to newer cars fail to account for the emissions resulting from scrapping or even recycling old cars and from producing new ones. Supporters say their aim is to protect pregnant women, and to acknowledge and punish the loss when violence causes fetal injury or miscarriage. But by assigning explicit legal rights to a fetus, the bill opens a door that pro-choicers would rather keep closed. The revelations confirm what human rights groups have already documented, which is that Israeli agents commonly used beating, kicking, shaking, and exposure to extreme heat and cold in order to force information out of Palestinian prisoners.
