A list of sports organizations that have begun transgender competition bans
Associated Press The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has become the latest governing body in the sports world to enact a policy change around transgender athlete competition. Here's a glance at the most prolific of those that have clarified or altered such rules this year: U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee Effectively barring transgender women from competing in women's sports, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee announced on Monday that it has an 'obligation to comply' with an executive order issued by President Donald Trump. The decree has threatened to rescind funding from organizations that don't obey. The USOPC oversees about 50 national governing bodies, most of which have some influence over youth sports all the way up to the elite levels, raising the possibility rules might need to be changed by local clubs to retain memberships. International Cycling Union The global governing body for cycling announced earlier this month that transgender women who transitioned after male puberty will no longer be able to compete in women's races. The decision followed American rider Austin Killips becoming in May the first openly transgender woman to win an official cycling event. University of Pennsylvania Penn modified three school records set by transgender swimmer Lia Thomas in a decision earlier this month to settle a federal civil rights investigation, including an apology to female athletes 'disadvantaged' by her participation on the women's swimming team. Thomas became the first openly transgender athlete to win an NCAA Division I title when she last competed for the Ivy League school in 2022. The Trump administration's broader attempt to block transgender athletes from female sports included the Penn case. The Philadelphia university agreed to restore all individual records to female athletes who lost to Thomas. World Aquatics The global governing body for swimming, formerly known as FINA, announced in June a new ' gender inclusion policy ' that only permits transgender athletes who transitioned before age 12 to compete in women's events. There are not currently any transgender women competing in elite levels of swimming. World Aquatics also proposed a new 'open competition" category, designating a committee to explore over the rest of the year the most effective guidelines for such events. World Boxing Organization The global governing body for boxing declared in May that all athletes would be subjected to mandatory sex testing in order to compete in sanctioned events. World Boxing's announcement specifically mentioned Olympic champion Imane Khelif, the Algerian who won a gold medal at the Paris Olympics last year amid international scrutiny. The previous governing body for Olympic boxing, the Russian-dominated International Boxing Association, disqualified Khelif and Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting, another Paris gold medal winner, from its 2023 world championships after claiming they failed an unspecified eligibility test. Association officials have declined to answer basic questions about the test. Khelif has said she was born a female. British sports Following a U.K. Supreme Court ruling in April, the British governing body for soccer issued a ban that took effect in June on transgender women playing on women's teams in England and Scotland. Previously, the British Football Association allowed such participation if the athletes had reduced testosterone levels. The England and Wales Cricket Board also instituted a ban. World Athletics Council The governing body for track and field banned transgender women from international competition in March, while adopting new regulations that could keep South African star Caster Semenya and other athletes with differences in sex development from competing. The World Athletics Council issued its edict in March, barring athletes who have transitioned from male to female and have gone through male puberty. No such athletes currently compete at the highest elite levels of track. Another set of updates for athletes with differences in sex development raised the potential to impact up to 13 current high-level runners including Semenya, a two-time Olympic champion at 800 meters, who has been barred from that event since 2019. Her discrimination case is still moving through the court system. Semenya and others had been able to compete without restrictions in events outside the range of 400 meters through 1 mile but now must undergo hormone-suppressing treatment for six months before becoming eligible. National Collegiate Athletic Association The NCAA, which oversees the vast majority of U.S. college athletics, announced in February — the day after Trump's order — that competition in women's sports would immediately be limited to athletes assigned female at birth. The NCAA has about 1,100 member schools with more than 500,000 athletes. High school sports Nebraska in June became the latest state to ban transgender students from girls' sports, following similar bans by the high school associations for at least 24 other states. The Trump administration has clashed with multiple states over the allowance of such participation. ___ AP sports: recommended Item 1 of 3

Zelensky faces backlash as Ukrainians protest new anti-corruption law
In the morning, Zelensky convened the heads of Ukraine's key anti-corruption and security agencies in response to the outcry against his decision to approve the law that was passed by parliament. 'We all hear what society says,' Zelensky wrote on Telegram after the meeting. But he insisted the new legal framework was needed to crack down harder on corruption. Advertisement 'Criminal cases should not drag on for years without verdicts, and those working against Ukraine must not feel comfortable or immune from punishment,' he said. Zelensky said all government agencies agreed to work constructively and respond to public expectations for fairness and effectiveness. A detailed joint action plan is expected within two weeks, aimed at addressing institutional weaknesses, removing legal hurdles, and ensuring justice across the board, he said. Thousands of people gathered in the capital and other cities Tuesday to urge Zelensky to veto the controversial bill. After he approved it, activists went on social media to call for another demonstration Wednesday night in central Kyiv. Advertisement Zelensky has been the international face of Ukraine's determination to defeat Russia's all-out invasion, and his domestic troubles are an unwelcome diversion from the war effort. The legislation tightens government oversight of two key anti-corruption agencies. Critics say the step could significantly weaken the independence of those agencies and give Zelensky's circle greater influence over investigations. EU officials warn of possible setback to joining bloc Fighting entrenched corruption is crucial for Ukraine's aspirations to join the EU and maintain access to billions of dollars in Western aid in the war. 'Limiting the independence of Ukraine's anti-corruption agency hampers Ukraine's way towards the EU,' German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul warned in a post on X. EU Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius, also on X, noted: 'In war, trust between the fighting nation and its leadership is more important than modern weapons — difficult to build and to keep, but easy to lose with one significant mistake by the leadership.' The Ukrainian branch of Transparency International criticized the parliament's decision, saying it undermines one of the most significant reforms since 2014, when Ukrainians ousted a pro-Moscow president in what they called the Zelensky said the new law clears out 'Russian influence' from fighting corruption and ensures punishment for those found guilty of it. He cited years of delays in criminal proceedings involving huge amounts of money. 'The cases that have been lying dormant must be investigated,' he said in a Telegram post early Wednesday. 'For years, officials who have fled Ukraine have been casually living abroad for some reason –- in very nice countries and without legal consequences -– and this is not normal,' he said. Advertisement He didn't give examples of what he said was Russian interference. The legal changes in Ukraine would grant the prosecutor general new authority over investigations and cases handled by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO). Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko, appointed by Zelensky just over a month ago, said the anti-corruption watchdogs and other law enforcement agencies would keep working as before. 'The prosecutor general has only been granted broader powers and an increased scope of authority,' Kravchenko told a news conference as officials moved to ease public concern. The anger and frustration among war-weary Ukrainians prevailed in the crowd Tuesday. Some protesters accused Ukraine's leadership of prioritizing loyalty and personal connections over fighting corruption. 'Those who swore to protect the laws and the constitution have instead chosen to shield their inner circle, even at the expense of Ukrainian democracy,' said veteran Oleh Symoroz, who lost both legs after he was wounded in 2022. Russian officials relished Zelensky's difficulties, although Moscow faces its own series of corruption cases against government and military officials. A third round of direct talks on the war The third direct meeting between Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Turkey in as many months wasn't expected to make progress on ending the war and would likely focus on further exchanges of prisoners of war. Zelensky said the Ukrainian delegation in Istanbul 'will again insist on the need for an immediate and complete ceasefire, including ... strikes on civilian infrastructure.' Russian drone strikes knocked out power to more than 220,000 customers in Ukraine's northeastern Sumy region, Zelensky said on Telegram, adding that repairs restored most of the supply in hours. Advertisement Ukrainian and Western officials have accused the Kremlin of stalling in the talks in order for its bigger army to capture more Ukrainian land. Earlier this month, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Russia with severe economic sanctions and said more American weapons, paid for by European countries, would go to Ukraine. Trump hardened his stance toward Moscow after months of frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin about unsuccessful talks for a ceasefire. Trump gave Russia until early September to agree to a ceasefire.

A former security guard at the US Embassy in Norway is accused of spying for Russia and Iran
OSLO, Norway -- A former security guard at the U.S. Embassy in Norway has been indicted by prosecutors there on suspicion of espionage after he allegedly spied for Russia and Iran, state broadcaster NRK said Wednesday. The Norwegian man, whose name has not been made public, was arrested last November on suspicion of having damaged national security. He is accused of handing over details about the embassy's diplomats, its floor plans and security routines, among other things, NRK reported. His defense attorney, Inger Zadig, said her client acknowledges the indictment's facts but denies any criminal guilt. 'At its core, this case concerns legal interpretation — specifically, whether, and to what extent, the information in question was 'classified' under the law, and whether it was capable of harming fundamental national interests,' she wrote in an email to The Associated Press. 'If not, then sharing the information is not a criminal offense. Our client did not hold a security clearance, and his access to information that could threaten vital national interests was more or less non-existent. These issues will be thoroughly addressed in court.' The broadcaster reported that America's ties to Israel and the war in Gaza prompted the man to contact Russia and Iran. The defendant faces up to 21 years in prison, NRK reported. The U.S. Embassy and the prosecutor's office did not respond to AP's requests for comment. At the time of his arrest, the man had been studying for a bachelor's degree in security and preparedness at Norway's Arctic University, UiT. It is a second such case at UiT in recent years, according to NRK. One of the people the West swapped with Russia in a major prisoner exchange last year was a UiT guest researcher who claimed to be a Brazilian named José Assis Giammaria, arrested on espionage allegations in 2022. The police revealed him to be Russian, Mikhail Valeryevich Mikushin. Norway has a 198-kilometer (123-mile) long border with Russia in the Arctic. Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Norway has heavily restricted entry for Russian nationals. build a fence along all or part of its border with Russia.
