Hi-tech telemedicine booth offers a handy, hands-on checkup
PARIS — A friendly face appears on the screen and so begins what could be yet another Zoom call — except I’m sitting inside a white booth that looks like a doctor’s office designed to fit on an airplane, and I’m a little nervous.Attached to the walls are a stethoscope, a blood pressure monitor, an oximeter and other scopes that I will be instructed to use on myself throughout my teleconsultation.As France struggles with a shortage of doctors, its worst-hit regions are rolling out hi-tech telemedicine booths, where patients can conduct their own checkups while on a video call with a physician in another part of the country.It’s a slightly surreal experience, as I found out firsthand, and a controversial solution to a very human problem being repeated across Europe.While...

Up to IOC to decide if Russia competes, head of Paris Olympics says
PARIS — A contest that could define the 2024 Paris Olympics is playing out 18 months before medals are awarded. It's giving the International Olympic Committee a political challenge with echoes of the 1980s.Ukraine fired up its campaign on Friday to have Russia and military ally Belarus excluded from the next Summer Games with talk in Kyiv of a boycott and support from sympathetic governments in the Baltics and elsewhere in Europe.The IOC responded in a statement that “it is regretful that politicians are misusing athletes and sport as tools to achieve their political objectives.”Pushback has been fierce in the 10 days since the IOC set out its preferred path for Russian and Belarusian athletes who do not actively support the war to try to qualify for Paris as neutrals.By citing...

UN rights chief appeals for Israelis and Palestinians to end ‘illogic of escalation’
GENEVA — As violence mounts between Israelis and Palestinians, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk on Friday called for an end to the “illogic of escalation”, appealing for leaders to urgently work to resolve their decades-long conflict.“Rather than doubling down on failed approaches of violence and coercion that have singularly failed in the past, I urge everyone involved to step out of the illogic of escalation that has only ended in dead bodies, shattered lives and utter despair,” he said in a statement.Türk reported that record numbers of Palestinians were killed in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, in 2022, which also saw the highest number of Israeli fatalities inside Israel and the occupied West Bank in years.So far, the new year has brought...

Ukraine’s president vows to fight ‘for as long as we can’ for strategic city Bakhmut
KYIV — President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has vowed to defend the city of Bakhmut “for as long as we can,” while hosting European Union chiefs in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv on Friday.Nearly a year after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Bakhmut has become the epicenter of fighting and Moscow’s forces have made small territorial gains in the region in recent weeks at the cost of heavy losses.“No one will abandon Bakhmut (...) We will fight for as long as we can,” Zelenskyy said after a summit with senior European officials. He called the city a “fortress”.“If (Western) arms deliveries to Kyiv accelerate, especially long-range weapons, not only will we not retreat from Bakhmut, (but) we will start to end the occupation of Donbass,” a partly Russian-held...

Brazil’s ex-leader Bolsonaro resurfaces in Miami still confused he lost election
MIAMI — Only a few weeks after his supporters stormed the seat of his country’s government, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Friday expressed bafflement at how he could have lost October’s election.He did not directly address the Jan. 8 assault on the buildings housing Brazil’s Congress and Supreme Court during his appearance in Miami before a conservative group tied to former US President Donald Trump.Bolsonaro had mimicked Trump’s strategy during his own 2020 reelection campaign, for months sowing doubts about the reliability of Brazil’s voting machines and then filing a petition to annul millions of votes.He is now under investigation for allegedly inciting the uprising. Like Trump, Bolsonaro has not conceded the election, though, unlike the former US president,...
