Lawmakers, union leaders and several community organizations expressed their dismay after allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior and abuse of young women or girls emerged against the late labor organizer César Chávez. The New York Times released an investigation on Wednesday detailing the allegations, which revealed that for years the co-founder of the United Farm Workers union had groomed and sexually abused girls who were involved in the movement. The report has led to multiple cancellations or rebranding of events that were meant to celebrate César Chávez Day, which is observed annually on 31 March, Chávez’s birthday. States including California, Arizona, Utah, Texas, Colorado, Oregon and Minnesota have recognized the holiday. Before the Times released the report, media inquiries about the allegations prompted the UFW to cancel celebrations honoring Chávez, calling the allegations “disturbing”, “shocking” and “indefensible”. The US representative Adelita Grijalva of Arizona, where Chávez was born, said she was “deeply troubled” by the allegations and extended her support for the victims. The state of Arizona has announced it will no longer observe César Chávez Day on 31 March as a state holiday. “To the survivors: estamos con ustedes – we are with you,” Grijalva said. “We hear you, we believe you and we admire the immense courage it takes to speak out.” “I know that there is a profound sense of grief in our community today that may bring mixed emotions,” she said. “The betrayal of trust by a leader who had such a significant impact on our community is difficult to comprehend. It is OK to feel angry, shocked, heartbroken, saddened, confused and dismayed – all at the same time. We still have more questions than answers. However, it is important to remember that one person does not define a movement. We, the people, are the movement.” The Times investigation includes allegations by Dolores Huerta, one of the country’s most influential labor activists and Cháve...

Key Points Gold and silver prices are falling amid high inflation and fears of a prolonged delay in interest rate cuts. This is hurting SSR Mining's stock, even as the company is expanding gold production. In a pragmatic move, SSR Mining is also exiting Turkey and will use the proceeds to invest in growth. 10 stocks we like better than SSR Mining › SSR Mining (NASDAQ: SSRM) is a gold-heavy producer, but also produces significant amounts of silver. SSR Mining is the third-largest gold producer in the U.S., and owns the largest silver mine in Argentina. In 2025, its Puna mine in Argentina accounted for 28% of the company's total revenue. SSR Mining's stock price, therefore, is highly sensitive to the volatility in the prices of both the precious metals, gold and silver. That pretty much explains why the stock fell today, dropping over 6% as of 1:30 p.m. ET Wednesday. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » Should you sell SSR Mining stock too? The gold and silver fall Precious metals retreated on Wednesday, with both gold and silver sliding over 2% each. While gold broke the critical $5,000 per ounce mark, silver fell to its lowest level in a month. Precious metals like gold and silver are considered safe-haven assets during economic and geopolitical turmoil. Yet, despite the escalating conflicts in the Middle East, gold and silver prices fell as a surge in February wholesale prices and a 5% spike in Brent crude on March 18 stifled demand. This persistent inflation has fueled investor fears that the Federal Reserve will maintain high interest rates when it announces its latest decision on Wednesday, creating a significant headwind for assets like gold and silver and dragging down precious metal stocks like SSR Mining. What should you do with SSR Mining stock now? Given how rapidly things are...

The shares of Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:PLTR) are 1.1% lower to trade at $153.35 at last check, brushing off a price-target hike to $200 from $180 at UBS.

Gerry Adams has told the high court he was stunned by the 1996 Docklands bombing as he denied being at the nerve centre of the IRA’s operations. The former Sinn Féin leader also denied having any prior knowledge of the bombing of the commercial district of east London, which shattered a 17-month old ceasefire. Adams, 77, is accused in the civil trial of being a member of the IRA, having sat on its army council and being culpable for the Docklands bombing, the Manchester bombing in the same year and the 1973 bombing of the Old Bailey in central London. On Adams’s second day on the witness stand, Max Hill KC, acting for men who were injured in the three bombings, suggested to the defendant that he had been behind the Docklands bombing as a way to bolster Sinn Féin’s political strategy. “You shared the frustrations you described others holding and the need, in light of those frustrations, to perpetuate the armed struggle to bring the British government to the table,” he said. Adams replied: “Those explosions brought an end to the IRA ceasefire and potentially the end to the peace strategy which I and others had worked on for 30 years.” He said he had been stunned by what happened. Hill asked him: “Did you know in advance about the February 96 explosion?” Adams replied: “No, of course not.” Quoting from an internal British government note from 1993, Hill said: “‘The home secretary has concluded that Adams is at the nerve centre of the PIRA [Provisional IRA]’. My question is, is that accurate?” Adams said: “That is not true. The British government had to come to terms that there was a possibility of peace and a political process. They dodged their responsibility by demonising those of us who were trying to reach out and to find ways of getting out of the chaos towards a democratic conclusion.” Asked by Hill why he did not admit his “history in the IRA”, Adams replied that he had repeatedly denied he had been in the paramilitary organisation and quoted Jonathan Swift, who...

Iran Says It Busted Up Over 100 'Pro-Monarchist Cells' Working With US, Israel Iranian authorities have newly announced hundreds more arrests across the country, describing that anti-government "pro-monarchy cells" and "traitors" have been exposed and caught. Tehran officials have touted busting up more than 100 of these alleged cells in 26 of Iran's 31 provinces in a major overnight security operation, describing that these groups were aligned with US and Israeli interests. Security forces from the Intelligence Ministry "have identified and arrested 111 monarchist cells across 26 provinces before they could take action on the last Wednesday of the year," the ministry stated according to Fars . AFP/Getty Images The ministry said that firearms, knives, and other weapons of various types were recovered . As for how many individuals were precisely rounded up and detained, this was undisclosed. According to more details via Al Jazeera : The ministry says four suspected spies linked to the United States were arrested in Hamedan city and West Azerbaijan province , both in the country’s west. Authorities also arrested another 21 people accused of cooperating with the London-based broadcaster Iran International , which is outlawed in Iran. Iran has long accused the London-based outlet Iran International of being a front for Mossad, and it also reportedly has links to Saudi Arabia - and is well known for actively promoting former Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi as the next ruler of Iran. As for Pahlavi, despite his name often appearing in Western media reports connected to the Iran crisis, the Shah's family has been in exile for nearly fifty years - and so is a name not widely known or supported among the bulk of over 90 million citizens of Iran . However, Reza Pahlavi's profile has been rising - given also Western satellite and government programming has been beaming his name into the Islamic Republic, going back especially to the large deadly January economic protests.
