Controversial Transgender Guidance Sparks Legal Concerns and Charitable Backlash in UK Schools

Schools in England may face legal action if they adhere to new guidance on how to treat transgender children, according to lawyers advising the government. The leaked advice warns of significant legal risks if schools follow the draft guidance, which states that they have no duty to allow students to socially transition. School leaders are seeking legal advice amid concerns that following the guidance could result in court cases. The government maintains that the guidance is lawful and will help schools navigate complex issues, prioritizing caution, parental involvement, and safeguarding. Human rights lawyers argue that the guidance may be unlawful under equality and human rights legislation.

A jury verdict that found an Oregon power company liable for devastating wildfires is highlighting the legal and financial risks utilities face if they fail to take proper precautions in a hotter, drier climate. Utilities, especially in the U.S. West, are increasingly finding themselves in a financial bind that’s partly of their own making, experts say. While updating, replacing and even burying thousands of miles of powerlines is a time-consuming and costly undertaking, the failure to start that work in earnest years ago has put them on the back foot as wildfires have grown more destructive — and lawsuits over electrical equipment sparking blazes have ballooned.

Trump's Indictment Impact on GOP Nomination and Brand.

The possibility of an indictment for former President Donald Trump is uncharted territory, but it is unlikely to hurt his base of support. An indictment could energize his base, but it would reinforce some of the reasons other Republicans are reluctant to back him. Trump's weakness increases the downside risks for his candidacy, even if it plays out exactly the way the FBI raid did. The longer term is murky, with the possibility of a trial and even the possibility of conviction and imprisonment.
