Two road resurfacing schemes completed in area of Motherwell
Findlay Street and Adele Street have been permanently repaired. Two road resurfacing schemes have recently been completed in the North Lodge area of Motherwell. In the final week of May, work was carried out to resurface the entirety of the carriageway at Findlay Street. Findlay Street is accessed from the top of Manse Road. During the first week of June, a programme of permanent repairs was then completed at Adele Street. The Adele Street resurfacing covered a section of the carriageway from just ahead of where the road meets Catherine Street to beyond it's junctions with George Street. Adele Street has now benefited from resurfacing work for two successive financial years in a row. Last April, there was resurfacing on a part of the road from just before Adele Street's junction with Leven Street to the section of the carriageway that covers the first half of the residential housing at neighbouring Broomside Crescent. Motherwell South East and Ravenscraig councillor Nathan Wilson said: 'I am thrilled at the successful completion of the planned resurfacing programmes for Findlay Street and Adele Street. 'Permanent repair work was badly needed on both carriageways and to improve the condition of the surfaces. 'I have been persistent in highlighting to the local authority that large parts of the road and pavement network in North Lodge is not fit for purpose and the area needed to feature more regularly in the annual resurfacing programmes. 'Adele Street is one carriageway I have continually raised as a road that should be considered as a high priority for repairs. 'It is fantastic news that in just over two years, there has been multiple resurfacing jobs at Adele Street and Manse Road alongside permanent repair work on Catherine Street, Leven Street and Findlay Street. 'The roads and pavements in North Lodge where resurfacing has taken place in recent years are now in a much healthier state.'

ICC rejects Duterte's bid to disqualify judges in jurisdiction challenge
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has unanimously rejected former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's request to disqualify two judges from ruling on a challenge to the court's jurisdiction in his ongoing case over alleged crimes against humanity. In a decision dated June 9, and signed by ICC President Judge Tomoko Akane, the plenary of judges ruled against Duterte's attempt to remove Judges Reine Adélaïde Sophie Alapini-Gansou and María del Socorro Flores Liera from the case. Duterte had accused the judges of bias for their prior involvement in authorizing the ICC's investigation into the Philippine situation and issuing an arrest warrant against him. 'The plenary of judges, acting unanimously, decided to reject the Application. A fully reasoned decision of the plenary will follow,' the ICC said in the decision. The move comes after ICC prosecutors described Duterte's application as 'legally untenable,' arguing that the defense failed to meet the high threshold needed to rebut the presumption of judicial impartiality. In a prior filing dated May 22, the prosecution said the judges' earlier rulings were procedural and did not prejudice their ability to remain impartial. 'Judges regularly adjudicate the same, or similar, legal issues… their prior determinations do not, under regular circumstances, create the appearance of conflict,' the Office of the Prosecutor said. Duterte's legal team had claimed the judges had 'predetermined' the case's jurisdictional outcome. However, the prosecution emphasized that both the investigation order and the arrest warrant were issued under a limited mandate, and explicitly noted they were without prejudice to future decisions. Judge Beti Hohler, also initially assigned to the deliberations, recused herself from the plenary, citing her prior role as a prosecution lawyer in the Philippine case from 2019 to 2022. Duterte faces accusations of crimes against humanity linked to the thousands of killings during his administration's controversial war on drugs. The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Duterte earlier this year, and the proceedings continue before the Pre-Trial Chamber. A detailed explanation of the plenary's rejection is expected in a forthcoming decision.
