When Law Yin-ping moved into a village house in Yick Yuen Tsuen in northwest Hong Kong’s Lam Tei more than a decade ago with her granddaughters, it never crossed her mind that they could one day be rendered homeless – and forcibly separated.

UK eases airline slot penalties amid fuel shortage concerns as government reassures travelers

The UK government has eased penalties for airlines canceling flights due to jet fuel shortages, exempting carriers from losing valuable takeoff and landing slots. Airport Coordination Limited can now grant exemptions from the use-it-or-lose-it rule during shortages. The government says airlines are not currently seeing fuel shortages and passengers should not change travel plans, though they should check with airlines before traveling.

Judge Expected to Sentence Purdue Pharma to Forfeit $225M in Opioid Crisis Settlement

A judge is expected to sentence Purdue Pharma to forfeit $225 million to the Justice Department, clearing the way for a settlement of thousands of lawsuits over the opioid crisis. The penalty was agreed to in a 2020 plea deal where Purdue admitted to failing to prevent its painkillers from being diverted to the black market and paying doctors to prescribe opioids. The Sackler family, which owned Purdue, will pay up to $7 billion over 15 years under the settlement, though no family members were charged criminally. Some victims and families oppose the deal, arguing it falls short of justice for a crisis linked to 900,000 U.S. deaths since 1999.
