UN agency: There aren’t enough body bags in Gaza

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:03:58 GMT

As the war between Israel and Hamas escalates, the U.N.’s special agency for Palestinian refugees warned Monday that under-siege Gaza is short of body bags. “The number of killed is increasing. There are not enough body-bags for the dead in Gaza,” the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said in a press release. Since Hamas launched its violent surprise attack in Israel nine days ago — killing more than 1,400 Israelis and triggering retaliatory air strikes from Israel and a siege of the Gaza Strip — 2,329 Palestinians have been killed, according to the report. “Gaza has had no electricity, pushing vital services, including health, water and sanitation to the brink of collapse, and worsening food insecurity,” the agency added in the report.Last week, Israel ordered civilians in Gaza City to evacuate to the south, as part of preparation for a ground assault on Gaza. More than a million people — which is nearly ha...

Tory MP Peter Bone faces Commons ban over bullying and sexual misconduct claims 

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:03:58 GMT

LONDON — A Conservative MP is facing a ban from the House of Commons over allegations of bullying and sexual misconduct against a staff member.Parliament’s Independent Expert Panel (IEP) on Monday recommended that Peter Bone, MP for Wellingborough since 2005, be handed a six-week suspension from the Commons after dismissing his appeal against multiple claims in an earlier investigation that he “verbally belittled, ridiculed, abused and humiliated” a member of his staff between 2012 and 2013.It also upheld a finding from parliament’s Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS), which investigated the original allegations, that Bone committed sexual misconduct by exposing himself “to the complainant on an overseas trip.”The Conservative Brexiteer has denied the allegations, and called the investigation “flawed” and “procedurally unfair.”The IEP’s findings will now go to the committee on standards, made up of fellow MPs, who will d...

Pressure gets to Chicago Bears — and QB Justin Fields is sacked 4 times: Brad Biggs’ 10 thoughts on the Week 6 loss

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:03:58 GMT

10 thoughts after the Chicago Bears failed to capitalize on a couple of impressive offensive showings in recent weeks and were thrown for a loop by the Minnesota Vikings in a 19-13 defeat on Sunday.It was the Bears’ 10th consecutive loss at Soldier Field and 11th to an NFC North opponent.1. The Vikings brought the blitz.By the end of the first quarter, Jordan Hicks says the Vikings generally have a pretty good idea of how opposing offenses are going to handle the vast array of blitzes defensive coordinator Brian Flores employs.There isn’t a team in the league that blitzes with near the frequency of Minnesota, which entered Week 6 bringing five or more rushers in 54% of opponent’s dropbacks. That’s more than double a lot of defenses.On the first snap of the game, the Vikings showed six men right at the line of scrimmage. The Bears were in an empty formation with quarterback Justin Fields in the shotgun. Outside linebacker D.J. Wonnum came off the offense&#...

The ancient ways of natural wine are finding new fans

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:03:58 GMT

SONOMA, Calif. (AP) — Wine made in ancient ways is gaining new fans.Natural wine — which emphasizes sustainability and minimal processing — is seeing growing interest in the U.S even though overall wine consumption has been declining since 2015, according to IWSR Drinks Market Analysis, a research firm. While natural and other sustainable wines made up less than 1% of sales in 2021, demand was rising faster than the wine category as a whole, according to alcohol delivery site Drizly.Generally, natural wine is made with hand-picked organic grapes that haven’t been sprayed with herbicides or pesticides. Once they’re crushed — sometimes by foot, the way they were crushed by ancient Romans — they are naturally fermented with no added water, yeast or other ingredients. Some natural winemakers add sulfites, a chemical found naturally in grapes, as a preservative; others don’t. Some filter their wines; others leave them cloudy and full of sediment.The result is wines that are earthy, savor...

Norway’s prime minister shuffles Cabinet after last month’s local election loss

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:03:58 GMT

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre shuffled his Cabinet on Monday after his center-left party was defeated in local elections last month by the center-right opposition party for the first time since 1924.Espen Barth Eide, who was climate and environment minister in the outgoing two-party coalition, replaced Anniken Huitfeldt as foreign minister. Eide had previously served as foreign minister in 2012-2013. Three ministers left the Cabinet and two were moved to new posts. The Cabinet was expanded to 20 members as a new position for digitalization was created. “We are making this change because there are some policy areas that we must pay even greater attention to in the future,” Gahr Støre said.He said he “wanted to make changes in our team that can provide increased power going forward.”However, the reason for Huitfeldt’s departure was “the matter of the purchase and sale of shares,” Gahr Støre said.In September, it was revealed that the ...

Sliding sports at 2026 Olympics won’t take place in Italy after building funds cut

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:03:58 GMT

MUMBAI, India (AP) — Bobsled, skeleton and luge events will not be held in Italy during the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics, organizing committee officials said Monday, meaning those athletes will likely be competing in either Austria or Switzerland during the games.The primary reason: money. A long-controversial plan to rebuild the historic Eugenio Monti track in Cortina d’Ampezzo — built 100 years ago, used for the 1956 Olympics, and shut down 15 years ago — simply became too costly after it became clear the original budget of 50 million euros ($53 million) slotted by the Italian government wouldn’t be close to enough.The tracks in Igls, Austria, and St. Moritz, Switzerland — Igls is about 100 miles from Cortina, and St. Moritz about 200 miles from Cortina — are likely to be the only two seriously considered for the 2026 Games. Monday’s decision was revealed at the International Olympic Committee’s annual meeting in Mumbai, India.“As chairman of the IOC sustainabilit...

Russia’s assault on a key eastern Ukraine city is weakening, Kyiv claims, as the war marks 600 days

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:03:58 GMT

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A dayslong attempt by Russian forces to storm a strategically important city in eastern Ukraine appears to be running out of steam, Kyiv officials claimed Monday, as the Kremlin’s war entered its 600th day.Ukrainian forces repelled 15 Russian attacks from four directions on Avdiivka over the previous 24 hours, the Ukrainian General Staff said.That compared with up to 60 attacks a day in the middle of last week, according to Vitalii Barabash, head of the city administration. The slackening suggests the Russian effort to capture Avdiivka has “deflated,” Barabash said.A Washington-based think tank broadly concurred with that assessment. “Russian forces continued offensive operations aimed at encircling Avdiivka … but have yet to make further gains amid a likely decreasing tempo of Russian operations in the area,” the Institute for the Study of War said in analysis published late Sunday.Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations, Vassily Nebenzia, told a U.N.
