Far-right thugs, football hooligans blamed for violence at London march

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:36:37 GMT

London’s Metropolitan Police said that physical violence by far-right thugs and football hooligans on the city’s streets Saturday was more dangerous than the far-larger pro-Palestinian demonstration taking place peacefully.An estimated 300,000 people took to London’s streets on Saturday — as protesters did across other major European cities such as Brussels and Paris — to call for a cease-fire in Israel’s bombing campaign on Gaza. The London march was between Hyde Park and the U.S. Embassy.Following the rally, Matt Twist, an assistant commissioner with the London Metropolitan Police, said that the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) event “did not see the sort of physical violence carried out by the right wing” on Saturday, which had looked to clash with the PSC and stop the rally. “This group were largely football hooligans from across the U.K. and spent most of the day attacking or threatening officers who were seeking to prevent them being able...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:36:37 GMT

As Israel pummels Gaza’s Al-Shifa Hospital in the north of the Palestinian enclave, global organizations are rallying behind calls for an immediate cease-fire in the war against Hamas.The World Health Organization said in the early hours of Sunday morning that it had lost contact with the 700-bed Al-Shifa health care facility, one of the largest in Gaza, pointing to reports of those leaving the scene being shot.“As horrifying reports of the hospital facing repeated attacks continue to emerge, we assume our contacts joined tens of thousands of displaced people and are fleeing the area,” the WHO posted on X.Israel claims Hamas has installed armed command centers inside hospitals and other civilian facilities, but Doctors Without Borders said that Al-Shifa, which includes maternity and outpatient areas providing emergency and surgical care, had been targeted with power cuts while access for ambulances or evacuation had been cut too.“This is unconscionable, reprehensible and must ...

Guhle scores in OT to lift Canadiens to 3-2 win over Bruins

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:36:37 GMT

MONTREAL (AP) — Kaiden Guhle scored the unassisted game winner in overtime to lift the Montreal Canadiens to a 3-2 win over the Boston Bruins on Saturday night.“Like every team you have some off games, but our good is really good. When we’re on top of it, we can beat any team in the league,” Guhle said.Nick Suzuki and Brendan Gallagher also found the back of the net for Montreal (7-5-2), which beat Boston (11-1-2) for the first time since the 2019-2020 season.“It’s a group decision and a group effort to get back in a game and get something out of it,” said Canadiens coach Martin St Louis. “You have to understand the way you need to carry yourself on the ice every game to give yourself the best chance of winning. It doesn’t guarantee a win, but you understand what is needed to be done with and without the puck.”Pavel Zacha deflected a point shot from Charlie McAvoy past Montreal goalie Samuel Montembeault and into the top corner just 36 seconds into the game to give the Bruins a 1-0 ...

Joe Biden wants to complete his goals on civil rights, taxes, and social services if he’s reelected

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:36:37 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has a simple reelection pitch to voters — let him “finish the job.”So what does that mean? What’s left for him to get done?Unlike Donald Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination who has been releasing videos and statements detailing his agenda, Biden hasn’t formally released his plans as part of his campaign.But his ambitions are no secret, and his goals for child care, community college and prescription drugs have been laid out in detail during the Democrat’s his first term. He also has unfulfilled promises on civil rights, such as protecting access to the ballot box, preventing police misconduct and restoring the nationwide right to abortion. Banning firearms known as assault rifles remains a priority as well.The result is a second-term agenda that could look a lot like Biden’s first-term agenda, with some of the same political challenges. Almost none of this can get done without coope...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden and China’s Xi Jinping have no shortage of difficult issues to discuss when they sit down for their first talks in a year, even if expectations are low that their meeting will lead to major breakthroughs.Each leader has clear objectives for the highly anticipated talks Wednesday on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, a meeting that comes after what’s been a fractious year for the world’s two biggest economies.Both Biden and Xi are looking to bring a greater measure of stability to a relationship that is being defined by differences over export controls, tensions over Taiwan, the wars in the Middle East and Europe, and more.A look at what each president is hoping to achieve during their talks:WHAT BIDEN WANTSThe White House has made clear that the U.S.-China relationship is beyond the days where a meeting ends with a long list of announcements and agreements.Instead, Biden comes to San Francisco focused on managing the ...
