Women appear to be penalized more than men for working remotely, the report finds
Corporate America ‘risks rolling back progress’ for women, says new report
NEW YORK — Large US companies have made progress – albeit slowly – over the past decade when it comes to increasing the number of women in management and leadership roles on every rung of the corporate ladder.But reported changes in company priorities this year coupled with employees’ reported experiences suggest those modest but steady gains may be at risk.That’s one takeaway from the latest annual report on the state of women at work from consulting firm McKinsey & Company and Lean In, a women-at-work advocacy group.“For the 11th consecutive year, women remain underrepresented at every level of the corporate pipeline,” the report notes. “[A]nd company commitment to their advancement appears to be declining.”For instance, for the first time, the researchers asked...

Zohran Mamdani to live in historic Gracie Mansion as New York mayor
NEW YORK — New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani will live in the Manhattan mansion that his predecessors have called home, leaving behind a rent-stabilized apartment that became the subject of heated debate during his campaign.Gracie Mansion, which dates to 1799, has served as the residence for most New York City mayors since World War Two.But Mamdani, for whom affordable housing is a central issue, did not confirm he would live there immediately following his victory in November."This decision came down to our family's safety and the importance of dedicating all of my focus on enacting the affordability agenda New Yorkers voted for," Mamdani said in a statement on Monday.He has been living in the Astoria neighbourhood in the borough of Queens.

Trump unveils $12bn farm aid package to help farmers who faced 'unjustified trade actions'
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has unveiled a $12bn (£9bn) farm aid package aimed at helping farmers impacted by low crop prices and the administration's ongoing trade wars.Most of the money – $11bn – is earmarked for one-time payments to farmers for row crops as part of the agriculture department's Farmer Bridge Assistance programme, with another billion reserved for crops not covered by the programme.While farmers have broadly supported Trump, the agriculture sector has been disrupted by trade disputes during his second term, particularly with China.Also on Monday, Trump threatened to hit Mexico with an additional 5% tariff in a row over water supplies to US farmers.The White House says the aid package will help farmers suffering from "years of unjustified trade...

US deports second group of Iranian nationals, officials say
WASHINGTON —The US has deported a second group of Iranian nationals, officials in Tehran said, as the Trump administration continues its immigration enforcement efforts.A chartered plane carrying more than 50 Iranians flew out of Mesa, Arizona, on Sunday, travelling through Cairo and Kuwait before arriving in Iran, according to reports.Tehran's foreign ministry confirmed the Iranian nationals' return to Iran. US immigration officials could not "confirm or deny a flight" for security reasons.The first deportation flight took off from the US in late September, in a rare instance of cooperation between Iran and the US. Many Iranian nationals say they come to the US because they fear persecution at home.Father Joseph Bach, a member of Borderland Companions of Hope, a Franciscan...

US revoked 85,000 visas since January, State Department official says
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has revoked 85,000 visas of all categories since January, more than double the number pulled last year, according to a State Department official.The high number of revocations, which includes more than 8,000 student visas, come amid a broader push by the Trump administration to both target immigrants within the United States and limit who can come to the country.The department official said Monday that offenses like driving under the influence, assaults, and theft accounted for “almost half of the revocations in the past year.” They did not detail the reasons for the other half of the visa revocations this year, however, the department has previously also pointed to visa expirations and “support for terrorism” in justifying pulling visas.The...

Hegseth defends deadly cartel boat strikes, says Trump can take military action ‘as he sees fit’
WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Saturday defended a series of US strikes on alleged drug cartel boats, saying President Donald Trump has broad authority to take military action “as he sees fit” to protect the country. The strikes, which have killed at least 87 people, are facing growing scrutiny from lawmakers and legal experts over possible violations of international law. Speaking at the Reagan National Defense Forum at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Hegseth compared the campaign to the fight against Al-Qaida after the Sept. 11 attacks. “If you’re working for a designated terrorist organization and you bring drugs to this country in a boat, we will find you and we will sink you,” he said. “President Trump can and will take decisive military action as...
