A restraining order has been issued against Ricky Martin in Puerto Rico, but the singer denies the domestic abuse allegations.
However, authorities who went to his home in the upscale neighborhood of Dorado on the northern coast have yet to issue him the papers.
“Up until now,” a law enforcement spokesperson said on Saturday, “police haven’t been able to find him.”
The order prevents Martin from contacting, in person or over the phone, the person who requested the order, whose identity is not disclosed.
🗣 In response, a representative for Martin called the abuse allegations 'completely false and fabricated.'

🇬🇧 🇷🇺 The UK Ministry of Defense has threatened to abandon fuel suppliers that use Russian oil.
"If oil products supplied to the Ministry of Defense are found to come from Russian suppliers, we will take immediate action to switch to alternate suppliers," the spokesman said.
The ministry reportedly buys fuel from a range of suppliers, including jet fuel from Greek company Motor Oil Hellas, which signed a five-year deal with Russia's Rosneft in November 2017.

"Laptop from hell" saga: Hunter Biden stored Google execs, US-China policy officials’ cell numbers on his computer
The contacts allegedly included at least six White House officials engaged in forming the country's policy on China, and ten Google executives. All of these officials held their posts while Hunter's father, Joe Biden, was vice president.
Some of the ten Google execs mentioned in Hunter's phonebook "were chummy" with him, and even got positions at the White House after leaving the tech giant during Joe Biden's vice presidency.

⚖️ Tesla is facing yet another racial discrimination lawsuit
Fifteen former or current Black Tesla employees are suing the company for allegedly failing to prevent racial discrimination at its factory in Fremont, California. The lawsuit, which was filed in a California court last week, details workers’ claims that they were subject to racial slurs, derogatory comments, and racially-motivated harassment in the workplace.
As outlined in the filing, workers allege their colleagues frequently used the N-word and other racist or discriminatory terms like “slavery” or “plantation” to describe the factory’s work culture. In addition, Tesla allegedly left racist graffiti on bathroom walls, benches, lockers, and workstations that contained “KKK,” the N-word, and drawings of swastikas.
Last year, a Black former elevator operator won his case that accused Tesla of not doing enough to prevent racial discrimination — he was awarded a reduced payout of $15 million.

🏎 Formula One driver Zhou Guanyu involved in scary crash at British Grand Prix
During the first lap Sunday at the British Grand Prix, Chinese Formula One driver Zhou Guanyu was involved in an intense crash that flipped his car and sent it skidding across the pavement before it flipped into a barrier against a fence. Zhou's car flipped immediately after that initial contact and skidded for several hundred feet across the track and then the gravel trap before its momentum sent it hurtling over the tire barrier and into a space between the barrier and the fence.
Zhou, posted a message to his verified Twitter account with a photo that showed him seemingly unscathed and smiling, indicating that he was well and that the halo was crucial in keeping him safe. "I’m ok, all clear," Zhou tweeted. "Halo saved me today. Thanks everyone for your kind messages!"

🗣 Texas clinics halt abortions after state high court ruling
Clinics were shutting down abortion services in the nation’s second-largest state Saturday after the Texas Supreme Court blocked an order briefly allowing the procedure to resume in some cases, the latest in legal scrambles taking place across the US following the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
Amy Hagstrom Miller, president of Whole Woman’s Health, said the ruling forced an end to abortions in its four Texas clinics, and workers there were winding down abortion operations and having “heartbreaking conversations” with women whose appointments were canceled. Planned Parenthood’s multiple affiliates in Texas had not resumed abortion services even after the restraining order was put in place Tuesday.
Also Friday, Google, said it would automatically purge information about users who visit abortion clinics or other places that could trigger potential legal problems.
