Alexis Grenell used to work as Cuomo's deputy director of intergovernmental affairs when he was New York's Attorney General A former Cuomo aide has written a blistering attack on the New York Governor, calling him 'St Andrew of COVID' and claiming he is lapping up the limelight at a time when the entire world is in crisis. Alexis Grenell used to work as Cuomo's deputy director of intergovernmental affairs when he was New York's Attorney General.  In an article published by The Nation on Friday, she said that while he'd 'undeniably' shown good leadership at the start of the year, he has since descended into being snarky and argumentative. She used his recent outburst at journalists who had asked him if schools would be open the next day as an example, calling it the kind of 'tantrum' he was known for throwing before the pandemic turned him into a hero.   'Cuomo undeniably offered a vision of competent, humane government at the height of th

The Catholic Archbishop of Washington DC says he hopes to have a positive relationship with President-elect Joe Biden.   Wilton Gregory - who has just been nominated by Pope Francis to become America's first black cardinal - made the remarks from Rome, where he is currently quarantining ahead of his meeting with the Pope.  'I want to begin whatever conversations ensue in a positive vein, rather than in an adversarial mode,' Gregory told CBS This Morning on Friday.  Biden will be the country's second Catholic president, and the first in more than half a century. John F. Kennedy, who served as Commander-in-chief from 1960 until his assassination in 1963, has been the only Catholic to hold America's highest office.  The President-elect is a devout Catholic, who attends Mass each Sunday and frequently references his faith in his public speeches and interviews.  Gregory says that while he and Biden may disagree on some fundamental issues - including abortion - he hopes t

A teenage mother has been caught on surveillance video tossing her newborn son into a canal because she 'did not want him'. Alexia López, 18, was seen on camera throwing her three-day old son into the waterway in Huehuetango, Guatemala, on Saturday night as her 28-year-old boyfriend Jose Clemente looked on. Unaware of the crime, several motorists drove past López and Clemente before the pair turned around and walked down the road.

The Rolling Stones relaxing with drinks – a bottle for Keith Richards – at DJ-driven Danceteria in 1980. The Ramones and Richard Hell performing at punk playground CBGB in 1977.  New York City was a hive of artistic endeavors in the 1970s and '80s that buzzed throughout its vibrant nightlife where celebrities, glitterati and hopefuls performed and played at chic clubs and Downtown dives where decadence and drugs were plentiful.  And photographer Allan Tannenbaum was there to chronicle it all. 'There was a lot of creative energy,' he told DailyMail.com. 'It was glowing.' A New Jersey native, Tannenbaum said he wasn't crazy about the city in the 1960s. 'It was ugly and dirty. In the '70s, it wasn't much better. It was very gritty.'  It was a stormy decade for the Big Apple, which at one point was on the brink of bankruptcy. Services were

Matiyas Bekuretsion disappeared after going swimming at Scarborough Beach The body of a 16-year-old boy who went missing after he heroically rescued his cousin while swimming in rough conditions has been recovered.  Matiyas Bekuretsion vanished while swimming with three friends in rough conditions at Scarborough Beach in Perth about 8pm on Monday. His body was discovered on Wednesday after a member of the public reported a body washed up at a beach in Trigg.  DNA testing had to be conducted to confirm it was Matiyas, police said, so it wasn't announced until Friday. A report will now be prepared for the coroner.  Matiyas, who was not a strong swimmer, hoisted his 19-year-old cousin to safety when he noticed the current was beginning to get rough. But moments later he disappeared himself, and has not resurfaced. 'Matiyas was a hero and his last breath was him fighting to save somebody else,' his cousin Nahom previously told The West Australian.  'It was honourable, (he
