Mar. 24—A 27-year-old Detroit man has been charged in connection with the fatal shooting of another man at Motor City Casino, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said Wednesday.

Nicholas White of Detroit is charged with first-degree murder and felony firearm in the early Monday slaying of Kermit McCants, 25, of Clinton Township.

The shooting occurred around 1:48 a.m. on the second level of the Motor City Casino parking structure.

Government spokesman Gabriel Attal said the COVID-19 situation was worsening everywhere in the country, and that it was vital that more people in France worked from home to curb the spread of the virus.

  • Queen’s Tenth Great-Grandchild Born on the Bathroom Floor

    Alan Crowhurst/Getty ImagesQueen Elizabeth’s tenth great-grandchild was born Sunday—on the bathroom floor.Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara Tindall, and her husband, the former England rugby player Mike, had not been planning a home birth but were unable to make it in time to the hospital when the baby, a boy who is 22nd in line to the throne, arrived with a minimum of pomp and circumstance.The unusually informal circumstances of the latest royal birth were disclosed by Mike Tindall on the sports podcast The Good, The Bad and The Rugby.Mike said that after watching rugby matches all weekend: “Sunday got even better because a little baby boy arrived at my house.”As his co-hosts showered him with congratulations, Tindall said he was feeling “brilliant” after the birth at 6 p.m. Sunday.At the time the podcast was recorded, the couple had not chosen a name, with Tindall saying, “We always struggle with that, we have never picked one before they arrive.” However, a spokesperson for the couple subsequently said Wednesday, “Zara and Mike Tindall are happy to announce the birth of their third child, Lucas Philip Tindall.” The baby’s second name is a tribute to Prince Philip, who is due to turn 100 in June. He will have no title as Princess Anne’s children were not given “HRH” styling at her request to enable them to lead more normal lives.A Buckingham Palace spokesman said, “The queen and the Duke of Edinburgh are delighted with the news and look forward to meeting their 10th great-grandchild when circumstances allow.”Asked if the baby was “bonny,” Tindall said he weighed eight pounds four ounces and arrived “very quickly.”“We didn’t make it to hospital. On the bathroom floor,” he said.Asked if he was hands-on at the birth, Tindall revealed that a friend of Zara’s who had been present at the birth of the couple’s previous children was on hand again.“She was there and recognized that we wouldn’t have got to hospital in time, so yeah, it was running to the gym, get a mat, get into the bathroom, get the mat on the floor, towels down, brace, brace, brace.”Tindall added, “Fortunately the midwife who was going to meet us at the hospital wasn’t that far away so she drove up, and got there just as we’d assumed the position. The second midwife arrived just after the head had arrived!”Mike said, “As every man would say, she was a warrior, they always are, we can never judge a woman in terms of what they have to go through in childbirth. She was back up, we went for a walk this morning with him and it’s all good.”Tindall said he cut the cord: “I was literally like, ‘Snip. Snip-snip. I got a boy, I’m out of here.’Tindall added, “The best thing about being at home was, as soon as he’s wrapped up, skin on skin, [we went] straight downstairs, TV room, golf on, and I’m like, ‘This is what you and me are doing.’”He said he also watched a vintage rugby game from 1996 with his newborn son.“The training has begun already, twelve hours in,” his co-host joked.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

    The Suez Canal is one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.About 12% of world trade by volume passes through the man-made channel connecting Europe and Asia. So, a traffic jam like the one caused by the 224,000-tonne Ever Given container ship is rather a big problemand could have a major impact on the global flow of oil and gas.Courtesy: Refinitiv Eikon TRADE Nearly 19,000 ships passed through the canal during 2020.That's on average of 51.5 ships per day.Source: Suez Canal AuthorityAll that traffic adds up to about 1.17 billion tonnes - all squeezing through the man-made channel …Giant tankers and container ships carry everything from crude oil and refined products to finished goods like electronics and toys.The Suez Canal is also a major source of hard currency for Egypt.The country raked in $5.61 billion in tolls in 2020 - despite global trade disruption elsewhere.GEOGRAPHYThe 120 mile-long canal separates the African continent from Asia.It also provides the shortest sea link between Asia and Europe and the lands lying around the Indian and western Pacific oceans.The first waterway was dug over 3,500 years ago but significant enhancements came in the 19th century to link the Mediterranean with the Red sea via the river Nile.WHO RUNS IT?In 1956, Egypt nationalized the canal, prompting shareholders Britain and France, along with Israel, to invade.The “Suez Crisis” only ended after Egypt sank 40 ships in the channel and the U.S., Soviet Union and UN intervened, forcing Britain, France and Israel to withdraw.The state-owned Suez Canal Authority (SCA) was established in July 1956 and still runs the waterway.In June 1967, Egypt and some other Arab states fought Israel in what became known as the Six-Day War.The canal was very badly damaged in fighting and remained closed until after the 1973 Yom Kippur war.Egypt regained full control of the canal and it reopened in June 1975.
