Michael Oher was paid $138,000 from ‘The Blind Side’ movie and book, Touhy family says in court filing

(CNN) — Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy say they paid Michael Oher more than $138,000 of proceeds from the blockbuster film and preceding book “The Blind Side,” despite the former NFL player’s claim that the couple never paid him his share of the profits, court documents say.Oher, whose life story was depicted in the Oscar-winning movie, filed a petition in August claiming the Tuohys told him they were going to adopt him, but instead filed a conservatorship that kept millions of dollars from him, including his share of the film proceeds.The Tuohys strongly denied Oher’s claims they were enriching themselves at his expense, saying they have always acted in his best interest.A Tennessee judge terminated the Tuohy’s conservatorship over Oher in September, but several issues in his petition remained unresolved, including a request that the Tuohys provide a sworn account of the money that should have been paid to Oher.The Tuohys filed the financial statement in Shelby County, Tennessee, probat...

Germany aims for a ‘war-ready’ military

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 16:55:31 GMT

BERLIN — Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is forcing Germany to turn its military into a powerful and well-financed fighting force focused on defending the country and NATO allies, Germany’s chancellor said on Friday.“Today, nobody can seriously doubt what we in Germany have been avoiding for a long time, namely that we need a powerful Bundeswehr,” Olaf Scholz said on the second day of a political-military conference presenting the deep change in Berlin’s strategic thinking. “Our peace order is in danger,” he warned, also mentioning the war between Hamas and Israel and adding that Germany needs “a long-term, permanent change of course.”But to defend Germany and its allies, the German military, or Bundeswehr, “needs to be upgraded for this. Only a Bundeswehr that is so strong … can ultimately prevent the worst from happening,” said Defense Minister Boris Pistorius. “We need a Bundeswehr that can defend itself and wage war in order to ...

EU nature law fight ends in pyrrhic victory for Green Deal defenders

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 16:55:31 GMT

EU negotiators have finally clinched a political deal on new rules aimed at boosting nature restoration across the bloc, saving the legislation from a conservative-led campaign to kill it. But if green-minded politicians let out a sigh of relief after months of campaigning and hours of negotiations on Thursday, the final deal is bittersweet as it came at a high price: major concessions to the center-right European People’s Party. The largest group in the European Parliament and the most vocal critic of the bill aimed at restoring the EU’s damaged ecosystems, the EPP, over the past year led a tough campaign against the legislation, claiming it would hurt Europe’s farmers and put the bloc’s food security at risk. It successfully weakened the Parliament’s position going into the talks, where it pushed to water down key aspects even further.Writing on X after the deal was reached, German MEP Peter Liese celebrated that what had been “a piranha” is ...
