Sunak, Meloni demand more urgency to combat migration

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:31:05 GMT

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and her U.K. counterpart Rishi Sunak made a joint call for action against undocumented migration, urging other European countries to show the “same sense of urgency” as Britain and Italy to end what they call a “moral and humanitarian crisis.”In a joint opinion piece published Friday in the Times, the two leaders, from the far-right Brothers of Italy and Britain’s Conservative Party, said they are working together to stop thousands of migrants entering Europe through Italy and making their way to the U.K.“We’re proud that Italy and the U.K. are leading on this together, because in this, and many other areas, our perspectives and our goals are the same,” they write. “In fact, we are two of the closest friends in Europe today.”Migration is a “moral,” “humanitarian” and “European crisis,” Sunak and Meloni write, which claimed the lives of more than 2,000 people this year alone. “Now is the time for act...

Russia to lift fuel export ban amid supply fears

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:31:05 GMT

Seaborne exports of Russian diesel will resume just weeks after Moscow imposed an outright ban that sent energy prices soaring around the world.In a statement on Friday, the Russian government confirmed it “has lifted restrictions on exports of diesel fuel delivered to ports by pipeline.”The unprecedented measure was introduced on September 21 in response to shortages on the domestic market that had seen Russians queuing at the gas pumps despite the country’s massive refining industry.“Temporary restrictions will help saturate the fuel market, which will reduce prices for consumers,” the government said at the time. With consumer prices capped by law, enterprising businesses have apparently been sending more fuel abroad where it fetches far higher sums, at the expense of supplies back home.In a bid to prevent these so-called gray exports, Russia will instead introduce a windfall tax of 50,000 rubles — equivalent to $495 — per ton on sales of petroleum pro...

Germany’s old order crumbles in Bavaria

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:31:05 GMT

ROTH, Germany — Michaela Wild believes it’s time for a change.Standing behind the counter of the café where she works in this small town in northern Bavaria, the 48-year-old barista said she’s tired of the economic malaise that has gripped her area.Local stores had shut down or left town of late, and cutbacks at a nearby air force base hadn’t helped local business. Wild had a sense perhaps her area’s best economic days were behind it.This was one reason, she said, she and many people had just about had enough of mainstream parties, including the Christian Social Union (CSU), the conservative party that has ruled Bavaria — but for a relatively short interruption — since the end of World War II.On Sunday, Wild and others who share her views will have a chance to voice their dissatisfaction as the states of Bavaria and Hesse hold parliamentary elections, which have become a bellwether of the national mood, at a particularly volatile moment in Germany’s history.Wild said some people clo...

Chicago Bears finally finish in the 4th quarter for first win in 346 days — and a ‘sigh of relief’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:31:05 GMT

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore ran 8 yards up the left sideline and then abruptly turned around to look at quarterback Justin Fields on Thursday night at FedEx Field.As the football sailed toward Moore, Washington Commanders cornerback Kendall Fuller tried to jump in front and make a play, but Moore leaped up behind him and grabbed the pass out of the air. As Moore turned and sprinted another 48 yards to the end zone, the same emotion was running through the minds of Fields and tight end Cole Kmet — and certainly many, many others throughout Bears nation.“Sigh of relief,” Fields said.“Relief,” Kmet said. “Relief. It’s been a long time coming.”Moore’s 56-yard touchdown with 4 minutes, 18 seconds to play sealed a 40-20 victory over the Commanders to snap a 14-game losing streak. It had been 346 days, to be exact, since the Bears had won a game.The last one the Bears had played, just four days earlier against the Denv...

‘The stars aligned’: DJ Moore explodes for 3 touchdowns as the Chicago Bears — at long last — end their lengthy losing streak

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:31:05 GMT

Chicago Bears receiver DJ Moore was only 3 minutes into his postgame news conference Thursday night when his cellphone began buzzing. His fiancee was calling, presumably to catch up and talk a little bit about how his night had gone.Moore wasn’t about to leave her hanging. So from a lectern in the visitor’s media room at Fed Ex Field, he put a reporter’s question on hold and answered his phone.“Hey, I’m in media,” he said. “Yeah.”Then a pause.“(It’ll be) probably about 5 minutes. Bye.”To be fair, Moore could have spoken to reporters for another 25 minutes and not run out of things to talk about. Not after the night he had, the eight-catch, 230-yard, three-touchdown explosion that, at long last, brought an end to the Bears’ 14-game losing streak.Moore and his teammates felt a euphoric combination of relief, satisfaction and excitement after the Bears pounded the Washington Commanders 40-20 on the brig...

UK’s opposition Labour Party gets a boost from a special election victory in Scotland

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:31:05 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Britain’s main opposition Labour Party won an emphatic victory Friday in a special election for a Scottish district that was watched as an indicator of the party’s rebounding popularity ahead of a national election next year.Labour took the parliamentary seat of Rutherglen and Hamilton West near Glasgow from the Scottish National Party. The result doubles Labour’s total of Scottish seats from one to two.Labour candidate Michael Shanks won 17,845 votes, more than twice the number taken by SNP runner-up Katy Loudon. The Scottish Conservatives came a distant third.Labour leader Keir Starmer called it a “seismic result.”The election was called when the former lawmaker, Margaret Ferrier, was ousted by her constituents for breaking coronavirus restrictions in 2020 by taking a long train journey when she had COVID-19.Labour was long dominant in Scotland but in the past 15 years has been all but wiped out by the SNP, which wants Scotland to leave the U.K. and become an i...
