An arbitration committee upheld the Social Democrats’ decision to expel Sarrazin over Islamophobic rhetoric. The ruling marked the party’s third attempt to oust him after almost a decade fighting in court.

Most days, Zora Pannell works from her dining room table in the United States city of Cleveland, Ohio, sitting in front of her computer, turning off the video on Zoom calls to nurse her one-year-old daughter, Savannah.

Pannell has balanced working from home and caring for her daughter and son Timothy, aged two, since March when she started a new job as a manager for a language services company the same week that Ohio issued a “stay at home” order to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Working from home is an exhausting daily juggle but she is more worried about being told it is time to return to the office...

Births in Germany are down, while its population ages. It’s a similar trend in other countries. A new study predicts a dramatic reduction in the world’s population by the end of the century.

“I don’t want to have a child until I’m really ready for it.” This is the kind of statement Hamburg gynecologist Christine Biermann hears a lot from her patients.

“The search for the perfect job and the perfect partner are deciding factors for women to put off childbirth for several years,” she says.

State and local officers stepped up their presence as part of the deal between Democratic Governor Kate Brown and the Trump administration to draw down the number of United States agents at the demonstrations that have taken place in the city for more than 60 days following the ...

A backyard barbecue in the picturesque Cape Cod town of Chatham, Massachusetts, has led to more than a dozen new coronavirus infections.

About an hour away, in the coastal community of Falmouth, an in-person high school graduation ceremony was scrubbed after school officials say some seniors were exposed to the virus.

And on the western side of the state, the Baystate Medical Center in Springfield is dealing with an outbreak of at least 40 cases traced to a hospital staffer who recently returned from an out-of-state vacation.

Less than a month after Massachusetts allowed gyms, movie theaters, museums and other public venues to reopen, there’s an increasing sense of dread that the hard-hit state’s summertime respite from the pandemic is waning just as families are looking ahead to the...
