U2 pays tribute to those killed in Israel music festival attack

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:38:10 GMT

(CNN) — U2 paid tribute in song on Sunday to those killed by Gaza militants at a music festival in Southern Israel over the weekend.During their performance at The Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada, Bono dedicated their song “Pride (In the Name of Love)” to the hundreds killed in the attack at the Nova Festival held outside Re’im.“In the light of what’s happened in Israel and Gaza, a song about non-violence seems somewhat ridiculous, even laughable, but our prayers have always been for peace and for non-violence,” Bono told the Las Vegas audience. “But our hearts and our anger, you know where that’s pointed. So sing with us… and those beautiful kids at that music festival.”Israeli officials counted at least 260 bodies near the site of the festival, where earlier footage showed carefree partygoers from Israel and overseas dancing in the desert soon after sunrise on Saturday.Some survivors are among more than 100 hostages that the militant group Hamas claims to be holding in Gaza,...

Macron: ‘It’s likely’ Iran helped Hamas execute Israel terror attack

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:38:10 GMT

Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday “it’s likely” that Iran helped Hamas in carrying out its deadly terror attack on Israel, though Western allies have no definitive proof yet.The French president’s remarks come after a trickle of news reports pointing to Tehran’s active involvement in launching the murderous incursion into Israeli territory, during which Palestinian militants killed hundreds of civilians. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Tuesday denied reports of Iranian involvement in Hamas’ deadly terror attack on Israel.Khamenei praised the Palestinian terrorists, but added that “those who say that the recent saga is the work of non-Palestinians” are wrong, according to a transcript on Iranian state news agency IRNA. On Sunday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Iranian officials had helped Hamas carry out Saturday’s attack, in which 900 Israelis were killed and 2,400 wounded. Israel’s retaliation measures across the Gaza Strip,...

Global economy still only limping, IMF says

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:38:10 GMT

MARRAKECH, Morocco — The world’s economy is slowing down but fears of a painful contraction and mass unemployment have subsided, the International Monetary Fund said Tuesday.Global growth remains dampened by supply chain disruptions linked to the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s war in Ukraine, persistently high inflation, and spiraling borrowing costs. But on the bright side, historically high employment levels and a steady decline in prices have reduced the chances of a “hard landing” scenario, which in April the IMF had flagged as likely.“Projections are increasingly consistent with a ‘soft landing’ scenario, bringing inflation down without a major downturn in activity,” Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, the IMF chief economist, said in Marrakech, where the IMF and the World Bank are hosting their annual meetings despite a devastating earthquake that hit the country in September.Following 3.5 percent global growth in 2022, the IMF now expects world GDP to come in at 3 percent this year an...

Spotty Showers, Seasonable

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:38:10 GMT

Some classic October air has settled in over the last couple of days and will continue over the next several days. With the seasonable air today, we’ll see a mix of clouds and some sun, and a few spotty showers. Not all towns get wet, and showers that do pop up are generally brief. Temps are a bit higher tomorrow and Thursday with highs in the mid to upper 60s. While Friday ends the workweek dry, we’ll likely start to see wet weather move back in some time over the weekend. The highest chance for rain looks to be late Saturday, through Sunday, with a chilly ocean breeze kicking in, holding temps in the 50s.

Biden’s second try at student loan cancellation moves forward with debate over the plan’s details

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:38:10 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s second attempt at student loan cancellation is moving forward with a round of hearings beginning Tuesday to negotiate the details of a new plan.In a process known as negotiated rulemaking, 14 people chosen by the Biden administration will meet for the first of three hearings on student loan relief. Their goal is to guide the Education Department toward a proposal after the Supreme Court rejected Biden’s first plan in June.The negotiators all come from outside the federal government and represent a range of viewpoints on student loans. The panel includes students and officials from a range of colleges, along with loan servicers, state officials and advocates including the NAACP.Biden directed the Education Department to find another path to loan relief after the conservative court ruled that he couldn’t cancel loans using a 2003 law called the HEROES Act.The latest attempt will rest on a sweeping law known as the H...

Bruins rookie Poitras plays his way onto roster. Now he needs to find a place to live

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:38:10 GMT

BOSTON (AP) — Brad Marchand put a nasty move on 19-year-old Matthew Poitras in a 2-on-2 drill in practice on Monday, leaving the Bruins rookie to pick himself up off the ice.“A little ‘welcome to the league’ moment out there,” Marchand said with a chuckle. “But, you know, he gives it to guys every day, too. So it’s fun to see out there.”Marchand followed up his ankle-breaker by skating over to Poitras (pronounced POT’-rah) for a little stick tap on the shinguard — the new, mature version of the “Little Ball of Hate” that was promised when he ascended to the captaincy this summer. Afterward, there was more encouragement for the Canadian juniors product who led the team with three goals this preseason and played himself onto the Bruins roster.“I really like him. He’s a really good kid,” Marchand said. “He’s just seems like he’s never under pressure. The game doesn’t move too fast for him. … He has all the attributes to be a great player in this league, and we’ll see how it p...

The Ravens played ‘probably our worst game ever’ in London 6 years ago. This time, they’re doing everything ‘the opposite.’

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:38:10 GMT

The NFL has been playing games abroad for decades. It started with exhibitions taking place everywhere from Mexico to Japan to England to Australia, among others.The first regular-season game outside the United States, however, didn’t take place until 2005, in Mexico City. Two years later, the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants beat the Miami Dolphins in the league’s first regular-season game in England.It wasn’t until a decade later that the Ravens ventured across the pond for the first time, and the outcome made them uninterested in going back anytime soon.The Jacksonville Jaguars blew out Baltimore, 44-7, on Sept. 24, 2017, in a game that was filled with blunders and an abundance of missed tackles in what was the second-largest margin of defeat in franchise history. Then-Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith said, “We fell flat on our faces.” Receiver Jeremy Maclin added, “That’s what happens in the National Football League when ...

Former Orioles pitcher Wally Bunker was a teen sensation and a World Series hero, but the success was fleeting

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:38:10 GMT

Sixty years ago, Wally Bunker burst onto the baseball scene, an 18-year-old phenom who pitched for his high school team one day and for the Orioles the next. Or so it seemed. In June 1963 — two days after high school graduation — Bunker signed with Baltimore. Three months later, on Sept. 29, the kid from San Bruno, California, strode to the mound at Memorial Stadium to face the Detroit Tigers.Bunker lost the game, 7-3. But he roared back in 1964 to go 19-5, with a winning percentage (.792) that tied him with Los Angeles Dodgers ace Sandy Koufax for best in the major leagues. That season, Bunker pitched two one-hitters and finished runner-up for American League Rookie of the Year honors behind Minnesota Twins outfielder (and Hall of Famer) Tony Oliva. Bunker also drew votes in balloting for the league’s Most Valuable Player, an award won in a landslide by the Orioles’ Brooks Robinson.“He’s too young to pitch,” Harry Brecheen, Baltimore...

The wonder years: An Orioles season to remember, especially for young fans who could be hooked for life

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:38:10 GMT

Bradley Glubo had trouble sleeping the night before the first day of the rest of his baseball life.But once he did, the 8-year-old Ellicott City boy said, “I started dreaming about the game. I dreamed about Adley and Gunnar hitting home runs.”Rutschman, Henderson and their teammates embedded themselves into the waking and sleeping hours of many an Orioles fan this season and into the American League Division Series, which goes into Game 3 tonight with the Orioles down 2-0 and facing elimination.But, research suggests, if a team finds its way into your heart around the age of 8, it could remain there for life.“It’s a crucial time,” said Bob Heere, a professor of sports management at the University of North Texas.He and others who have researched sports fandom say this age sits at a sweet spot for developing a deep alliance with a team, usually through a parent, most often a father, siblings or friends.Sports teams are a vehicle for socialization and...
