Experts discuss the challenge of reopening New York City

Description

New York (US), May 12 (EFE) - A dense population, skyscrapers, the subway, crowded restaurants, all are part of New York's identity, but also its main challenges to recover its activity. FOOTAGE OF SOCIOLOGIST LISANDRO PÉREZ, A PROFESSOR AT CUNY UNIVERSITY, AND JEFF SCHLEGELMILCH, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR DISASTER PREPAREDNESS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF COLUMBIA SPEAKING TO EFE. SOCIOLOGIST LISANDRO PÉREZ TRANSLATION: "Density is the key to understanding how New York works, which is why there are 27,000 restaurants and 10,000 bars, and that is sustained by precisely that density. On any normal night before the pandemic, the city had its theaters full, its restaurants full, 40,000 people in Yankee Stadium watching a baseball game."

Experts Say If Giuliani Is Disbarred, It Won't Be Over The Election

Rudy Giuliani is up against numerous calls for his license to practice law to be revoked. But the bar to disbarment is set very high, and legal experts are divided as to whether Giuliani's conduct has been egregious enough to merit such a harsh punishment. According to Business Insider, President Donald Trump's personal attorney has been criticized for frivolous, dishonest litigation. Experts say that disbarment is unlikely, though Giuliani could face lesser sanctions from state bar associations and courts. Although Giuliani got more attention for his recent courtroom antics regarding the general election, other activities actually put him at greater risk. Specifically, if he's convicted in a case stemming from a federal probe related to his work in Ukraine on behalf of Trump, which led to Trump's impeachment.
