Orioles reset: Series loss to Yankees shows gap still exists between Baltimore and top of AL East

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:46:13 GMT

Entering the season, the expectations, excitement and energy for the Orioles were higher than at any point to start a year since the rebuild began five years ago.The home-opening win over the New York Yankees on Friday — with 45,017 fans, most of whom were in Orioles orange, rocking the park — took those emotions to new heights, with Bryan Baker’s strikeout in the eighth and the one-run victory having the potential to serve as a stepping stone in a post-rebuild world.But, just as the Orioles lost the final two games versus the Boston Red Sox last weekend after an opening day victory, Baltimore followed up Friday’s thrilling triumph with two straight defeats against the Yankees.“We’re playing some close games,” Hyde said after the Orioles’ 5-3 loss Sunday. “I feel like we’re making some mistakes that we can’t do against good clubs. Boston, we could’ve won two there, and then here just some mistakes on the mound. ...

Defiant Jewish settlers march to evacuated West Bank outpost

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:46:13 GMT

JERUSALEM (AP) — Thousands of Israelis led by at least seven Cabinet ministers marched Monday to an evacuated West Bank settlement, in a defiant signal that Israel’s most right-wing government in history is determined to accelerate settlement building on occupied lands despite international opposition.The march also poses a new test for Israel’s security forces after days of unrest fueled by tensions over a contested Jerusalem holy site.Israeli police and army forces were being deployed to the northern West Bank — the scene of frequent tensions in recent months — to secure the march, which comes after days of fighting in Jerusalem and along Israel’s northern and southern fronts. The planned demonstration added to the already combustible atmosphere in Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank that has accompanied the overlapping of major Jewish and Muslim holy days. Tensions between Israelis and Palestinians have reached a fever pitch in recent weeks surrounding the Jerusalem shrine. The ...

In Ukrainian village, a family lives under cloud of shelling

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:46:13 GMT

BOHOYAVLENKA, Ukraine (AP) — In a small village in eastern Ukraine the sounds of war echo in the distance while 10-year old Khrystyna Ksenofontova plays. She pets the neighborhood cats, paints and, like everyone else here, hopes the fighting will end soon.The small village of Bohoyavlenka, in Donetsk province, lies 20 kilometers (13 miles) from the active front line. Khrystyna’s days are spent scrounging the bits of childhood she still can. Her family refuses to evacuate and lives under a cloud of constant shelling. She wears headphones to block out the booms of the explosions. ”(I feel) fear, trembling,” she says. The explosions resound at night most of the time, she says, brushing aside her sandy blond hair. But sometimes they come in the morning, too.Her mother, Yulia, and grandmother chose not to leave the village, which had a pre-war population of 1,400, after her father died from a brain injury suffered in an attack that destroyed one of their homes. They prefer to bear the br...

Pakistanis living abroad sent $2.5 billion home in March

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:46:13 GMT

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistanis living abroad have sent $2.5 billion home in March, responding to the cash-strapped government’s appeal for more hard currency remittances, the country’s central bank said Monday. The sum represents a 27.4% increase compared to February and is the highest in seven past months, according to a tweet by the State Bank of Pakistan. The announcement offered some hope for improving Pakistan’s ailing economy, officials said. The remittances came mainly from Pakistanis living in the United States, Britain and the Middle East. Pakistan is grappling with one of its worst economic crises, exacerbated by last summer’s devastating floods that killed 1,739 people, destroyed 2 million homes and caused $30 billion in damages. The impoverished country also has been hit by a wave of violence, which last week prompted top political and military leaders to order new operations against the Pakistani Taliban, a militant group that is separate but allied with ...

Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania to seek 4th term

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:46:13 GMT

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Democratic Sen. Bob Casey will seek a fourth term in office, bringing the power of incumbency and unmatched name recognition in Pennsylvania politics to his party’s defense of a seat in a critical presidential battleground state.The announcement by Casey, the longest-serving Democratic U.S. senator in Pennsylvania history, gives Democrats a boost ahead of a difficult 2024 Senate map. They must defend incumbents not only in red states — Montana, Ohio and West Virginia — but also in multiple swing states.Casey, who will turn 63 in a few days, is a key ally of labor unions and President Joe Biden. In Congress, Casey, a moderate Democrat, has backed all of Biden’s top priorities and forged a close relationship with the president, at least in part because the men also have a bond that goes beyond politics: They hail from the same hometown of Scranton.In running for reelection, Casey’s message sounds similar to how Biden’s campaign for a second term may sound.

Hydro-Quebec is warning that some of its remaining repairs to lines damaged by last week’s deadly ice storm may not be completed until Tuesday.Roughly 40,000 customers remain without power across Quebec as of 4 a.m. Monday morning, with the majority in the Montreal, Outaouais, Monteregie, and Laval regions.Regis Tellier, the utility’s vice-president of operations and maintenance, told reporters Sunday morning that power has been restored to over 90 per cent of the more than one million customers who lost electricity — including 180,000 who saw the lights come back on Saturday.Tellier said most of Quebec’s remaining outages affect only a handful of customers, noting hydro workers are reconnecting fewer customers even though they’re working at the same pace.Officials are also warning people not to use fuel-burning appliances inside after a number of reports of carbon monoxide poisoning.Montreal public health said Sunday that 180 cases of carbon monoxide p...

A Russian trace is likely to undermine Head of the Ukrainian central bank Andriy Pyshnyy's future

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:46:13 GMT

EU Reporter already published an investigation about the new head of the Ukrainian National Bank, where we quoted famous Ukrainian journalist Serhyi Lyamets. After the publication, S.Lyamets submitted to us his separate article about suspicions of some banking malpractices, which are important as we talk about the head of the central bank and the family of Ukrainian businessmen strongly associated with former Russian president Medvedev. In times of Russian invasion and European sanctions, these moments hardly can be left unnoticed."There was an episode in the activities of the current head of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU), which was once widely reported by the Ukrainian mass media. In 2020, while Andriy Pishny headed the state-owned Oschadbank, he carried out a rather suspicious financial transaction. Several years have passed, and these transactions have not been properly investigated. Moreover, Pishny has become the head of the NBU.One could say that in the time of the Russia...
