A long-running class action gender discrimination lawsuit against Goldman Sachs may go to trial this year, containing allegations of bias and predatory behavior at the vaunted Wall Street firm.
It's the culmination of years of toxic culture, according to ex-Goldman executive Jamie Fiore Higgins. In a new book, she exposes what she claims is a deeply troubling environment — one where employees are expected to act as if families don't exist and unwanted sexual advances not only happen but are covered up.

The wife of King Charles III is paying tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II and her strength as a woman in a world dominated by male leaders for much of her 70-year reign. In a video message being broadcast Sunday night, Queen Consort Camilla says: “It must have been so difficult for her being a solitary woman.” She adds: “There weren’t women prime ministers or presidents. She was the only one, so I think she carved her own role.” The late queen, who died Sept. 8 aged 96, ended years of debate about Camilla’s title when she said on the eve of her Platinum Jubilee that Camilla later be known as queen consort.
The European Union’s executive branch has recommended that the bloc suspend around 7.5 billion euros ($7.5 billion) in funding to Hungary over concerns about democratic backsliding and the possible mismanagement of EU money. EU Budget Commissioner Johannes Hahn said Sunday that despite measures Hungary has proposed to address the deficiencies, the European Commission is recommending the suspension of funds “amounting to an estimated amount of 7.5 billion euros.” Hahn said that Hungary has until Nov. 19 to address the concerns. The European Commission has for nearly a decade accused Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban of dismantling democratic institutions. He denies the accusations.
The government of Ukraine recently appointed a top diplomat whose primary goal is to counter Russian disinformation about the war reaching audiences in Latin America, Ambassador Ruslan Spirin told The Miami Herald and el Nuevo Herald in an exclusive interview.
A strong earthquake has shake shook much of Taiwan, toppling at least one building and trapping two people inside and knocking part of a passenger train off its tracks at a station. The magnitude 6.8 quake on Sunday was the largest among dozens that have rattled the island’s southeastern coast since Saturday evening, when a 6.4 quake struck the same area. News reports say a three-story building with a 7-11 store on the ground floor and residences on the upper ones collapsed in Yuli town. Two were rescued and workers were in communication with two other trapped people. Police and firefighters also rushed to a bridge collapse where one or more vehicles may have fallen off.
Moses Wamugango peered into the plastic vats where maggots wriggled in decomposing filth, the enviable project of a neighbor who spoke of the fertilizer problem he had been able to solve. The maggots are the larvae of the black soldier fly, an insect whose digestive system effectively turns food waste into organic fertilizer. Farmers normally would despise them if they weren’t so valuable. Uganda is a regional food basket, but rising commodity prices blamed on the war in Ukraine are hurting farmers. Fertilizer prices have doubled or tripled, with some popular products hard to find on the market.
In retrospect, it seems Queen Elizabeth II was preparing us all along for her death. Whether it was due to age, ill health or a sense that the end was near, she spent much of the last two years tying up loose ends, making sure the family firm would keep ticking along. The transition began slowly, with the queen turning over more public duties to her son, now King Charles III. But it moved into overdrive in 2022 as Elizabeth celebrated 70 years on the throne. First she expressed her wish that Charles’ wife, Camilla, be known as queen consort after her death. Then Charles took center stage during Platinum Jubilee festivities.
The United Nations is calling on Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers to reopen schools to girls in grades 7 through12, calling the anniversary of their exclusion from high school “shameful.” The U.N. said Sunday it is increasingly concerned that the policy will deepen the country’s economic crisis in the form of greater insecurity, poverty and isolation. Markus Potzel, the U.N. chief in Afghanistan, says: “This is a tragic, shameful, and entirely avoidable anniversary." A year after the Taliban took power in Afghanistan, hard-liners appear to hold sway in the Taliban-led government. Teenage girls are still barred from school and women are required to cover themselves from head to toe in public.

AP Top 25 Takeaways: Veteran QBs Clifford, Nix deliver big
Cam Rising threw for 224 yards and a career-high four touchdowns in three quarters to help No. 14 Utah rout San Diego State 35-7 on Saturday night. Rising is the first Utah quarterback since 2017 to pass for 200 or more yards in the first three games of the season. The Utes (2-1) forced a pair of turnovers and scored touchdowns following both takeaways. San Diego State (1-2) lost starting quarterback Braxton Burmeister to an injury in the first quarter and never got on track offensively. The Aztecs failed to convert a third down until midway through the third quarter and did not surpass 100 total yards of offense until the final minute of the quarter.
When Queen Elizabeth II’s grandfather King George V died in 1936 life in Britain is unrecognizable to people today. But despite almost a century of change the images from the queen’s lying in state this week are almost exact copies of those from George V’s time. Historians say maintaining such traditions consistently through time plays into an enduring craving for ritual. It is also crucial to preserving reverence for the monarchy. Five British kings and queens have lain in state at Westminster Hall before the queen. The hall is a 900-year-old building at the center of British politics and power. Edward VII was the monarch who set the modern tradition of lying in state in Westminster Hall in 1910.
There are still bodies on the battlefield, lying where they fell on farm fields or inside burned-out tanks as Ukrainian troops swept through a Russian-occupied border area in a major counteroffensive this month. Ukrainian troops are now recovering the bodies of soldiers from both sides as well as civilians killed in the fighting north of Ukraine's second largest city, Kharkiv. The Ukrainian teams scouring the countryside for the fallen have to be careful because Russian troops continue to fire artillery into the area from inside Russia.
Julian Gressel’s goal proved to be the game-winner for the Vancouver Whitecaps in a 2-1 win against the Seattle Sounders. The Whitecaps are now 11-14-7 after the win and the Sounders dropped to 12-16-3.
New Mexico forced seven turnovers — including a 22-yard interception return for a touchdown by Reco Hannah in the first quarter — to help the Lobos beat UTEP 27-10. Sherod White scored on a 3-yard run early in the second quarter before George Steinkamp kicked a career-long 51-yard field goal with 8 seconds left in the first half that gave New Mexico (2-1) a 20-3 lead. Gavin Hardison passed for 299 yards for UTEP (1-3) but completed just 20 of 45 passes and threw three of the Miners’ four interceptions.
