Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:28:25 GMT

Houthi militants will face as-yet-unspecified “consequences” if they continue to “threaten lives” and disrupt trade flows in the Red Sea, the United States and a host of international allies said in a new statement Wednesday.The joint missive — issued simultaneously by the governments of the U.S. Australia, Bahrain, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom — stops short of spelling out how the allies plan to quell mounting turmoil in the Red Sea region.But it warns that recent events pose “a direct threat” to global trade and constitute “a significant international problem that demands collective action.”Sailors navigating the narrow Bab-el-Mandeb Strait — on a vital shipping route linking Europe to Asia — have in recent weeks faced drone strikes, missile attacks and hijackings by Iran-backed Houthi militants operating off the coast of Yemen.The Shia militant group insists it is only targeting shipping with links to Israel...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:28:25 GMT

Justin Fields has one more start to convince the Chicago Bears brass he can be the quarterback of the future. The Bears finish their season Sunday against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field (3:25 p.m., CBS-2).Brad Biggs answers questions about general manager Ryan Poles, Fields’ future, hypotheticals and much more in the latest Bears mailbag.Ryan Poles was in Kansas City when the Chiefs had Alex Smith, a serviceable and even popular quarterback, and traded up to the No. 10 spot to choose Patrick Mahomes. Fast-forward to 2024 and Ryan Poles finds himself on the precipice of a similar situation, only this time he’s in charge. Poles has made shrewd decisions with an eye to the future, and Ted Phillips would likely have greenlighted anything to copy the KC formula. But does Poles have enough autonomy with Kevin Warren if he wants to execute a change this seismic? — Kamal T., North Smithfield, R.I.Interesting question and quite a bit to unpack here. The Chiefs had l...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:28:25 GMT

By Will Weissert and Linley Sanders, Associated PressWASHINGTON (AP) — In this time of war overseas, more Americans think foreign policy should be a top focus for the U.S. government in 2024, with a new poll showing international concerns and immigration rising in importance with the public.About 4 in 10 U.S. adults named foreign policy topics in an open-ended question that asked people to share up to five issues for the government to work on in the next year, according to a December poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.That’s about twice as many who mentioned the topic in the AP-NORC poll conducted last year.Long-standing economic worries still overshadow other issues. But the new poll’s findings point to increased concern about U.S. involvement overseas — 20% voiced that sentiment in the poll, versus 5% a year ago.It also shows that the Israeli-Hamas war is feeding public anxiety. The conflict was mentioned by 5%, while almost no one cited i...

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — With trembling hands and labored breath, Serhii Slobodiannyk meticulously searched his fire-damaged apartment, seeking to salvage any of his family’s treasured belongings following a Russian missile attack on Kyiv.“Everything I had worked for over 30 years was destroyed in less than a second,” says Slobodiannyk, still dressed in the clothes he managed to throw on in his burning apartment Tuesday.He and his wife, Olena, had moved into the building in Kyiv’s Solomianskyi district in 1984. Now the structure is uninhabitable — ravaged by fire, part of its facade torn off, and a huge crater gouged next to it by the missile that struck at 7:40 a.m.Two of the building’s residents were killed and 54 were injured in Tuesday’s bombardment that also killed two others elsewhere in the capital. The barrage was part of Russia’s recent winter campaign against urban areas in the nearly 2-year-old war.It was the first attack in months in which an ap...
