MANCHESTER, England (AP) — No Erling Haaland, no problem for Manchester City.Even without the Premier League’s leading scorer, Pep Guardiola’s team came from behind to rout Liverpool 4-1 on Saturday and stay in pursuit of first-place Arsenal.Haaland, who has scored 42 goals in all competitions this season, was ruled out of the game at Etihad Stadium after failing to recover from a groin injury.But even after falling behind to a 20th-minute strike from Mohamed Salah, City powered back with goals from Julian Alvarez, Kevin de Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and Jack Grealish to keep the pressure on Arsenal and deliver another blow to Liverpool’s Champions League qualification hopes.The game represented one of the biggest remaining tests in City’s league campaign. Defeat would have given Arsenal the chance to extend its lead at the top to 11 points.And that looked like a real possibility when Liverpool scored against the run of play early on, with Diogo Jota bursting past City...

Dentro del largo y sinuoso camino hacia la histórica acusación contra Trump

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:13:29 GMT

(CNN) — El jurado investigador de Nueva York que escuchó el caso contra Donald Trump estuvo a punto de interrumpirse durante varias semanas. Los abogados del expresidente creían este miércoles por la tarde que tenían al menos un pequeño respiro de una posible acusación. Trump elogió la demora percibida.El fiscal de distrito de Manhattan, Alvin Bragg, tenía otros planes.Este jueves por la tarde, Bragg le pidió al jurado investigador que emitiera una acusación histórica contra Trump, la primera vez que se acusa a un presidente actual o anterior de Estados Unidos. El movimiento sorpresa fue el giro final en una investigación que tomó un camino largo y tortuoso hasta los cargos históricos que se devolvieron esta semana.Se había anticipado una acusación a principios de la semana pasada, incluso por parte del propio Trump, quien promovió la teoría de que sería “arrestado”, mientras las agencias policiales se preparaban para la logística de procesar a un expresidente.

Lost in translation: Washington and Brussels face pushback on effort to patch trade rift

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:13:29 GMT

The United States and European Union are racing to settle their dispute over tax credits for electric vehicles, but their attempted fix is creating new problems for each of them back home.Lawmakers on both sides of the Atlantic complain leaders are circumventing the standard approval process for free trade agreements in their attempt to heal the rift. The potential deal between the Biden administration and the EU would qualify European automakers for some of the taxpayer subsidies embedded in the Inflation Reduction Act, the $369 billion climate and tax legislation that the U.S. Congress passed last year.Those negotiations will set a precedent, the lawmakers worry, that could cut Congress and the EU’s member countries out of decisions that carry major political and economic consequences. In the U.S., lawmakers said this week they are weighing action to reclaim their authority.“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again so there is no confusion: Congress will not, under any circumstan...

(AP) — Unrelenting tornadoes that tore through parts of the South and Midwest killed at least 11 people, collapsed the roof of a packed theater during a heavy metal concert in Illinois, and left small towns and big cities throughout the region bewildered Saturday by the damage.Tornadoes touched down into the night, laying waste to homes and businesses and stripping bark and limbs off trees, as part of a sprawling storm system that also brought wildfires to the southern Plains and blizzard conditions to the Upper Midwest.The dead included four in the small town of Wynne, Arkansas, Cross County Coroner Eli Long told KAIT-TV. Other deaths were reported in Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi the Little Rock area.Wynne City Councilmember Lisa Powell Carter said the town about 50 miles (80 kilometers) west of Memphis, Tennessee, was without power and roads were full of debris.“I’m in a panic trying to get home, but we can’t get home,” she said Friday night. “Wynn...

A glass of wine or beer per day is fine for your health: new study

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:13:29 GMT

   Toronto, Ontario (CTV Network) — A new Canadian study of 4.8 million people says a daily alcoholic drink isn’t likely to send anyone to an early grave, nor will it offer any of the health benefits touted by previous studies, even if it is organic red wine.Low and moderate drinkers have similar mortality rates to those who abstain entirely, researchers from the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research explain. On the other hand, women who enjoy more than one standard drink per day are at least 20 per cent likely to die prematurely.“In this updated systematic review and meta-analysis, daily low or moderate alcohol intake was not significantly associated with all-cause mortality risk,” the study’s authors write, “while increased risk was evident at higher consumption levels, starting at lower levels for women than men.”Published Friday in the medical journal JAMA Open Network, the study comes on the heels of a report by t...

Mike Lupica: Anthony Volpe steals the show on Opening Day at the Stadium

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:13:29 GMT

You can see already, just off a couple of games, how much Yankee Universe wants Anthony Volpe to be something more than the Yankees’ latest hot kid, how much they want him to be the real thing, and how much they want him to live up to the hype. The city is still a sucker for a story like this.On Thursday, on an old pageant like Opening Day that he turned young, Volpe ran out to shortstop the way Derek Jeter did 27 years ago in Cleveland. Now he tries to be the first Yankee kid since Aaron Judge to be the real thing.And you know it was different with Judge, who didn’t make his major league debut until August of 2016, hitting four home runs between then and the end of the regular season. He didn’t have the kind of spotlight on him, and the kind of stage, that Volpe, the Jersey kid, the Yankee fan, got on Thursday afternoon, when he first heard his name called by the Bleacher Creatures and first heard the cheers at the Stadium.Actually, when Judge hit the big leagues,...

Ira Winderman: In metrics of misery, this Heat season one for the ages

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:13:29 GMT

To the Miami Heat’s credit, there at least has been candor about just how trying a season this has been.Expectations have not been met. Opportunities have been squandered. Disappointment often carried the day.Which led to a question this past week to those in and around the organization, many who have been around from the start or close to the start:Has this been the most disappointing/frustrating season of the franchise’s 35?No, not the worst. Not with a pair of 15-67 clunkers in the mix. But that was with Ron Rothstein asked to drive an Edsel in the augural 1988-89 go-round and then the Heat in full tank-a-thon mode in 2007-08, when the closing-night rotation featured the likes of Stephane Lasme, Kasib Powell, Earl Barron and Mark Blount.Those were times when you could see it coming, as it was with other trying seasons, when from the outset it was clear there either was not enough in place to contend or a goal of building toward something better for future seasons.But ...
