PROBLEM: Paragraph: Britain's legal bookmakers reported high interest Tuesday in the names Alexander, James and Arthur. They also noted speculation about the name Spencer, the maiden name of Harry's late mother, Princess Diana. Royal babies usually have a string of names, opening the way for endless betting possibilities. "Following a flurry of bets last evening, Alexander is now the new favorite at the top of our name betting and the one we are fearing the most," said John Hill of the Coral betting agency. Alexander has 4/1 odds at Coral, while Arthur is 6/1 and Albert, James and Spencer are all 8/1. Choosing Spencer as a first or middle name is seen as a way for Harry to honor Diana, who died in a Paris car crash in 1997 when he was only 12. Before he married Meghan last year, Harry spoke about his desire to pay tribute to his mother's memory during the wedding ceremony. Others believe Meghan could choose a name that reflects her American biracial heritage. One Twitter user suggested Marvin for the late singer Marvin Gaye. The infant, known only as Baby Sussex for the moment, was born Monday at 5:26 a.m. at a yet-undisclosed location. In a gushing announcement of the birth, Harry said he and Meghan are "thinking" about names and hinted that an announcement might be made Wednesday or shortly thereafter. The couple is also expected to pose with their newborn or release a photo on their Instagram account at some time and to publicly name godparents for the child. The new arrival is the eighth great-grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II, who smiled when asked about the baby's arrival at a luncheon Tuesday. Asked if life is good, the 93-year-old monarch said: "Yes, thank you." The baby boy is the first of her great-grandchildren to have an American parent. His mother Meghan is the daughter of a white man and a black woman, bringing a biracial heritage to the House of Windsor. Trevor Phillips, a retired black broadcaster who headed Britain's Equality and Human Rights Commission, wrote an open letter to the royal baby, saying his arrival reflects British society's more open attitude nowadays and the increasing inclusiveness of the royal family. "This is a family that lives the reality of a multicultural world daily," he said. "It's their job: to interact with people of different backgrounds to themselves on behalf of the nation, and to treat them all with respect. I have to tell you, they are pretty good at it." He went on to tell the baby: "Whether you like it or not, you're going to have a special place in the nation's heart." Prince William, Harry's older brother, joked Tuesday that he will be glad "to welcome my own brother into the sleep deprivation society that is parenting!" "Obviously thrilled, absolutely thrilled, and obviously looking forward to seeing them in the next few days when things have quietened down,"William told reporters. The birth produced a moment of high drama likely to be replayed for the rest of Harry's life. The prince, who has battled mental health challenges since the abrupt loss of his mother at a young age, emerged with the world's most satisfied grin Monday afternoon to announce the birth of his son before TV news cameras. "We're both absolutely thrilled and so grateful for all the love and support from everybody out there. It's been amazing, so we just wanted to share this with everybody," the normally press-shy royal gushed. Harry also burnished his feminist credentials and paid tribute to mothers around the world after witnessing the birth. "It's been the most amazing experience I could ever have possibly imagined," he said. "How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension." ___ Read all Associated Press coverage of the latest royal baby at https://www.apnews.com/RoyalBaby Claim: Will new royal baby's name honor Princess Diana? Stay tuned.

SOLUTION: Britons love to lay down their bets and with the birth of a healthy baby boy for Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and Prince Harry, it's time to focus on boys' names.

PROBLEM: Paragraph: "Former state Rep. Nicholas Gorham made a surprising claim last month in a commentary in The Providence Journal. ""The fact is that we have a General Assembly that has no explicit constitutional authority to impose income, sales, estate and the myriad of other taxes upon us, yet it taxes the people as if there were no limitations on its authority to tax the people,"" he wrote in the piece, published Dec. 30. The legislature can't legally levy taxes? This called for a PolitiFact audit. First, a history lesson. When King Charles II granted a royal charter to the colony in 1663, the document, preserved in a metal and glass case at the State House, established ""a form of pure government by an elected assembly presided over by a nearly powerless, elected governor,"" according to an account on the General Assembly's website. The Assembly's supremacy continued when Rhode Island became a state, and was reaffirmed in the state's first Constitution, adopted in 1842. Article VI, Section 10 spelled it out, saying ""the General Assembly shall continue to exercise the powers it has heretofore exercised, unless prohibited in this Constitution."" The state Supreme Court consistently interpreted that to mean the power of the General Assembly was unlimited unless authority to do something was specifically given to another branch of government. Things changed in 2004, when the General Assembly, responding to pressure from good government groups, passed ""separation of powers"" legislation, a set of proposed amendments to the state Constitution. The amendments made it clear the government is divided into three separate branches, banned legislators from serving on any executive-branch boards or commissions, and gave the governor power to appoint members of agency boards. And they eliminated the catch-all Section 10. Voters approved the amendments 2-to-1. So is Gorham right that, because of 2004 vote, the General Assembly lost its ""explicit"" authority to tax? On a literal level, yes. The only reference to setting taxes in the current Constitution is a section that says that the Assembly can set the manner in which property valuations are conducted. But legal experts say on a practical level, implicit can be as good as explicit. Former state Supreme Court Justice Robert G. Flanders Jr., who stepped down in early 2004, says that although much was changed by the 2004 amendments, much abides. From the days of Parliament and the English kings, he said, the power to levy taxes has rested in the legislative body, a legal tradition that was carried on in England's colonies in the Americas. ""Inherent in the legislative power is the power to tax,"" Flanders said. ""You wouldn't need an explicit grant."" Richard Raspallo, legal counsel to House Majority Leader Nicholas A. Mattiello, agreed, saying there are several examples of legislative power that is assumed despite a lack of specific language in the Constitution. ""Where is it explicitly stated in the Constitution that the General Assembly has the authority to require Rhode Island citizens to follow traffic rules, or have a license, or grant people the right to marry, or require people to have certain educational standards in order to work in certain fields?"" he said. ""At some point, the General Assembly has been granted power by the people to legislate for the common good,"" he said. ""That includes the imposition of taxes to pay for the welfare of the citizenry."" Gorham indirectly acknowledged that, but said the ambiguity shows the need for a state constitutional convention to settle the matter definitively. (Voters will be asked in November whether a convention should be convened.) As he wrote in his commentary: ""Of course, I plan to pay my taxes, but you really have to wonder sometimes. If the people really wanted to get taxes and, yes, borrowing under control and on the people's terms, the Constitution, just the way it is, would be a great place to start. Let the revolution begin!"" Our ruling Nicholas Gorham said the Rhode Island General Assembly ''has no explicit constitutional authority'' to levy taxes. History tells us he's right. Had he suggested that the lack of explicit language meant no one had to pay taxes, we'd view his claim in a far different light. But he didn't, so we rule it .

PROBLEM: Paragraph: Austria has closed schools, restaurants, bars, theatres and other gathering places, including non-essential shops. People have been told to stay at home and work from there if possible. The country has reported 108 deaths and more than 9,000 cases, fewer than its neighbours Italy and Switzerland and within its health system's capacity so far, but Kurz told a news conference its intensive care capacity could be exceeded by mid-April. "Many cannot imagine what is heading our way within weeks, but the truth is that this is the calm before the storm. And to tell how horrific that storm can be, you can look at our neighbour Italy," Kurz said, referring to hospitals unable to cope with the number of sick people, and hundreds of dead a day. The rate of infection remains "far too high", Kurz said, adding that less than medical-grade masks would be distributed this week, probably from Wednesday. "As of the moment, these masks are handed out in front of supermarkets it will be compulsory to wear them in supermarkets," Kurz said, adding that the aim in the medium-term was for people to wear them in public more generally as well. While the masks would not protect the wearer against infection, they would stop them sneezing or coughing on others and potentially infecting them, he added. The World Health Organization has, however, been sceptical about such measures. "There is no specific evidence to suggest that the wearing of masks by the mass population has any particular benefit," Dr Mike Ryan, the WHO's top emergencies expert, told a news conference later on Monday while adding that he was not aware of Austria's measure specifically. "In fact there is some evidence to suggest the opposite in the misuse or (not) wearing a mask properly or fitting it properly or taking it off and all the other risks that are otherwise associated with that." Austria is also carrying out tests on a representative sample of 2,000 people to get a clearer understanding of how much of the population has been exposed to the virus, Kurz said, adding that Austria was one of the first countries in Europe to do so. The results will be available at the end of the week. Claim: Austria to make basic face masks compulsory in supermarkets.

SOLUTION:
Austria will require shoppers to wear basic face masks in supermarkets in a bid to slow the still too-rapid spread of the coronavirus, Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said on Monday.
