After Seven-Year Wait, Greece Finally Makes Medical Marijuana AvailableIt was a long time coming – seven years of delays – but Greece has officially made medical cannabis available to patients for the first time, with a prescription, to treat conditions where marijuana has proved effective.That includes vomiting from chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and combination therapy against HIV or hepatitis C; chronic pain; spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injuries; and as an appetite suppressant in palliative care.
The Sports Riot That Nearly Destroyed Constantinople in 532 ADThe Greek world has a troubled past of sports riots, particularly with football hooliganism, but this pervasive history goes back further than one might expect, with one instance nearly leading to the destruction of Constantinople and the overthrow of the Eastern Roman emperor.The Nika Riot (alternatively referred to as the Nika Revolt or Nika Uprising) in 532 AD was one of the deadliest riots in human history and certainly the worst to have occurred in the period of Late Antiquity. It led to the deaths of approximately 30,000 people.The riot occurred during the rule of the Roman Emperor Justinian I and was largely instigated by the city’s two major chariot racing teams – the Blues and the Greens.

Head teacher sacked for tapping toddler son on handA head teacher who was sacked for “assault” after tapping her toddler son on the hand was unfairly dismissed, a tribunal found.Shelly-Ann Malabver-Goulbourne was trying to get her three-year-old to stop playing with a bottle of hand sanitiser in her office when she used two fingers to attract his attention.The incident was witnessed by the teacher in charge of child safety who accused her of hurting her son and filed an official complaint which led to the head being suspended and the police called.Despite the police ruling that her actions were “reasonable chastisement” by a parent, Ms Malabver-Goulbourne was found guilty of gross misconduct and sacked.She is now in line for compensation after an employment judge concluded there was no evidence that she had committed “physical chastisement or an assault” and ruled her dismissal unfair.

Donald Trump told to pay six-figure costs of firm he suedDonald Trump has been told to pay the six-figure legal costs of a company he sued over claims of "perverted" sex acts and bribes to Russian officials.Mrs Justice Steyn threw out the case against Orbis Business Intelligence, a consultancy founded by former MI6 officer Christopher Steele, last month.She found that Mr Trump's compensation claim was "bound to fail".In a new ruling she also ordered Mr Trump to pay Orbis's costs "of the entire claim".The order, obtained by the PA news agency on Thursday, also said Mr Trump has made no attempt to bring an appeal.Mr Steele, who previously ran the Secret Intelligence Service's Russia desk, was the author of the so-called Steele dossier.This included uncorroborated intelligence claims, denied by Mr Trump, that the former US president had been "compromised" by the Russian security service, the FSB.The High Court was told last year that Mr Trump was bringing a data protection claim over two memos in the dossier which claimed he had taken part in "sex parties" in St Petersburg and engaged in "golden showers" with prostitutes in Moscow.Mrs Justice Steyn said Orbis has estimated its costs to be more than £600,000.She said £300,000 should be paid by Mr Trump before the total costs are decided by a specialist judge.
