Americans' views on race and policing shift as Derek Chauvin trial begins.<\/p>\n
USA TODAY<\/span><\/p>\n The trial of Des Moines Register reporter Andrea Sahouri,\u00a0who was arrested covering racial justice protests last summer, will be going to trial Monday in what experts say is a rare criminal prosecution of a journalist on assignment in the USA.\u00a0Sahouri faces charges of interference with official acts and failure to disperse.\u00a0If convicted, she could be sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined\u00a0$625\u00a0for each offense.\u00a0In a video filmed from a police vehicle immediately after her arrest, Sahouri said she told officers she was a reporter and was leaving the area. \u201cI was saying, \u2018I’m press, I’m press, I’m press,\u2019\u201d Sahouri said in the video,\u00a0her eyes still burning from pepper spray.\u00a0At least 126 journalists were arrested or detained in 2020, but only 13 still face charges, according to the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Register reporter Andrea Sahouri live-streamed from the back of a police vehicle to talk about being arrested at the Merle Hay Mall protest for George Floyd.<\/p>\n Des Moines Register<\/span><\/p>\n Weeks of media hype reached a crescendo when CBS aired Oprah Winfrey’s interview with Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan, who said she was so close to suicide during her time in the palace that she couldn’t be left alone.\u00a0“I didn’t want to be alive anymore,” she said, tearing up. “I was ashamed to admit it to Harry but I knew if I didn’t say it, I would do it. I just didn\u2019t want to be alive anymore.”\u00a0Other bombshell revelations in the interview included that Meghan, 39, and Harry, 36, were secretly married three days before their 2018 royal wedding, by the Archbishop of Canterbury in their backyard.\u00a0The couple also revealed that their second baby, due this summer, will be a girl: a sister for Archie, who turns 2 in May.<\/p>\n Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan are helping fund a shelter that was damaged during the recent storms in Texas.<\/p>\n Video Elephant<\/span><\/p>\n Change comes from challenge \u2014 and that is the message organizers of International Women’s Day 2021 hope to trumpet Monday.\u00a0“A challenged world is an alert world,” the International Women’s Day website says. Gender parity in government, workplaces, health care, sports and media coverage is achievable through individual change, organizers say. They hope this year\u2019s theme for International Women’s Day \u2014 #ChooseToChallenge \u2014 will inspire individuals to challenge biases, question stereotypes and celebrate the achievements of women around the world. International Women\u2019s Day has been observed for more than a century since it began in 1911. The day recognizes the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women globally, and it’s a call to action for gender parity.<\/p>\n COVID job losses have hit women of color the hardest. But USA Today's Charisse Jones says there's hope of recovery.<\/p>\n USA TODAY<\/span><\/p>\n Schools across England are reopening to all students\u00a0Monday, part of what Prime Minister Boris Johnson described as a plan to get the country to \u201cstart moving closer to a sense of normality.\u201d Students and staff in English secondary schools, colleges, and universities will have to wear face coverings indoors – including in classrooms – unless social distancing can be maintained. Twice-weekly COVID-19 tests will also be recommended \u2013\u00a0but not required \u2013 for those returning to in-person instruction. After a steep rise in cases over the holidays partially caused by the rise of the infectious B.1.1.7. COVID-19 variant in the U.K., daily new cases have fallen to pre-winter levels.\u00a0<\/p>\nDes Moines Register\u00a0reporter arrested while covering a protest faces trial<\/h2>\n
