Updated at 4:04 p.m. ET $600 per week. That's what the federal government is now offering to people who've lost their jobs because of the coronavirus. For many workers and employers, that money is a godsend — a way to keep food on the table while also cutting payroll costs. But the extra money can create some awkward situations. Some businesses that want to keep their doors open say it's hard to do so when employees can make more money by staying home. "We basically have this situation where it would be a logical choice for a lot of people to be unemployed," said Sky Marietta, who opened a coffee shop along with her husband, Geoff, last year in Harlan, Ky. Their goal was to provide good coffee, good Internet service and some opportunity in a community that has been starved of all three. "We're very committed to helping to transform the downtowns and main streets in eastern Kentucky," Marietta said. When the couple advertised for workers, nearly 100 people applied for just a handful of

One of Georgia’s most iconic musicians, Richard Wayne Penniman, better known as Little Richard, has died at age 87.

Updated at 1:55 p.m. ET Little Richard, the self-described "king and queen" of rock and roll and an outsize influence on everyone from David Bowie to Prince, died Saturday. He was 87 years old. Wayne Chaney, his longtime bandleader and tour manager, tells NPR that Little Richard died at his brother's home in Tullahoma, Tenn., after a battle with cancer. Rolling Stone was the first to report of Little Richard's death. With his ferocious piano playing, growling and gospel-strong vocals, pancake makeup and outlandish costumes, Little Richard tore down barriers starting in the 1950s. That is no small feat for any artist — let alone a black, openly gay man who grew up in the South. He was a force of nature who outlived many of the musicians he inspired, from Otis Redding to the late Prince and Michael Jackson. His peers James Brown and Otis Redding idolized him. Jimi Hendrix, who once played in Little Richard's band, said he wanted his guitar to sound like Richard's voice. The late David

Immigrants in the U.S. sent an estimated $150 billion to their home countries in 2019 — half to Latin America and the Caribbean. The World Bank is predicting a sharp decline in remittances this year.

175 gedetineerden aan het einde van hun celstraf mogen de tijd die hun nog in de gevangenis rest thuis uitzitten. Gevangenissen willen voorkomen dat ze telkens met proef- en weekendverlof gaan en dan besmet raken met het coronavirus.

Een van de gevangenen die nu met een enkelband thuis zitten is veroordeeld voor de dood van Kim Stoker uit Emmen. Haar vader is woedend. "Ik snap hier helemaal niks van. Die man hoort gewoon opgesloten te zitten in zijn cel. Daar is hij toch ook veilig voor corona", aldus Rob Stoker bij RTV Drenthe. "Dit is te bizar voor woorden."

De 24-jarige Kim Stoker werd op 10 februari 2013 doodgestoken in haar flat in Emmen. Haar vriend werd veroordeeld tot twaalf jaar cel wegens doodslag.

Rob Stoker stuitte bij toeval op het bericht in een regionale krant, waaruit bleek dat een groep van 24 gedetineerden in de zeer beperkt beveiligde inrichting (ZBBI) in Veenhuizen met elektronisch toezicht naar huis is gestuurd vanwege het coronavirus. Vorige week kreeg hij de bevestiging dat een van de 24 de moordenaar van zijn dochter is.

De regeling geldt niet alleen voor de gedetineerden in het Drentse dorp, maar in totaal voor 175 gevangenen in heel Nederland. "Zij hebben een enkelband en slapen thuis", aldus Eveline Petit van de Dienst Justitiële Inrichtingen bij RTL.

Tijdelijk verlof

Alle 175 zitten aan het einde van hun gevangenschap. Overdag zijn ze buiten de gevangenis aan het werk. Ze krijgen ook weekendverlof. Dat leidt tot veel inkomend en uitgaand verkeer in de gevangenis en dat verhoogt het besmettingsrisico.

Het is niet duidelijk hoe lang de regeling nog loopt. Stoker heeft van de gevangenis gehoord dat het om een "tijdelijk" verlof gaat. De moordenaar zou het resterende deel van zijn straf (tot februari volgend jaar) in de cel moeten uitzitten "zodra de coronacrisis dat toelaat". "Maar ik geloof daar echt niet meer in", zegt Stoker.

De Emmenaar onderneemt verder geen actie. "Ik kan er wel heel erg boos over doen, en het totaal niet eens zijn met dergelijke procedures, maar het helpt toch niks. Het is zo frustrerend."
