Zach Wilson and the Jets’ offense continue to sputter in 27-6 loss to Chargers

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:02:51 GMT

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets’ defense did its job — again.Zach Wilson and the offense? Well, they keep struggling to be something more than a stumbling, bumbling bunch.“I think we all just kept taking turns,” Wilson said after the Jets’ 27-6 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night. “Too many self-inflicted wounds. Just not good enough. I don’t know what to say. Not good enough.”The Jets (4-4) came in with a three-game winning streak and found themselves in the thick of the AFC playoff hunt at the midway point of the season.But if New York intends to remain there, it needs vast improvement by the offense. And immediately.“Our defense is playing lights out, man,” Wilson said. “We’ve got to get something going. We’ve got to find a way.”The Jets held Justin Herbert to 136 yards on 16-of-30 passing and the Chargers gained just 191 total yards. But Los Angeles didn’t need to do much on offense — not when its ...

City Attorney race takes center stage amid Chula Vista councilwoman scandal

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:02:51 GMT

CHULA VISTA, Calif., -- Voters in Chula Vista are looking to elect a new city attorney. This vote comes off the heels of a scandal involving councilmember Andrea Cardenas who was arrested for federal fraud charges. Monday evening, Mayor John McCann released a statement saying that after reviewing the criminal charges, it's clear Cardenas must resign. Candidate Marco Verdugo also joined the mayor's calls for resignation when asked by FOX 5 how he would correct the matter if elected for City Attorney. “Everyone is entitled to their day in court, but Chula Vista residents, people like me and my family who have lived here our entire lives, we’re entitled to representation that we can trust," Verdugo shared. Those charges stem from allegedly misusing PPP Loans and now that's adding extra pressure for the candidates looking to become the next city attorney who would be in charge of those investigations.

Chinese imports rise in October while exports fall for 6th straight month

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:02:51 GMT

BEIJING (AP) — China’s imports rose in October while exports fell for a sixth straight month compared with a year earlier in the latest evidence the world’s second largest economy remains in the doldrums.Customs data released Tuesday showed imports climbed 3% from a year earlier to $218.3 billion, while exports fell 6.4% to $274.8 billion. The trade surplus of $56.5 billion was down more than 30% from $77.7 billion in September and was a 17-month low. Exports had fallen 6.2% year-on-year in September. Exports may fall further still, said Julian Evans-Pritchard of Capital Economics.“We expect exports to decline over the coming months before bottoming around the middle of next year. Measures of foreign orders hint at a more significant drop in foreign demand than what has so far been observed in the customs data,” he said in a report. Overall, China’s foreign trade has remained sluggish this year as global demand has slackened and a recovery has stalled despite the country...

A month into war, Netanyahu says Israel will have an ‘overall security’ role in Gaza indefinitely

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:02:51 GMT

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will have “overall security responsibility” in Gaza for an indefinite period after its war with Hamas, the clearest indication yet that Israel plans to maintain control over the coastal enclave that is home to some 2.3 million Palestinians.In an interview with ABC News that aired late Monday, Netanyahu expressed openness to “little pauses” in the fighting to facilitate the release of some of the more than 240 captives seized by Hamas in its Oct. 7 attack into Israel, which triggered the war exactly one month ago.But he ruled out any general cease-fire without the release of all the hostages, and the White House said there was no agreement with United States President Joe Biden’s call for a broader humanitarian pause after a phone call between the leaders on Monday.Israeli troops have been battling Palestinian militants inside Gaza for over a week, and have succeeded in cutting the territory in...

Breast cancer screening rates across the EU

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:02:51 GMT

Breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer and a leading cause of female mortality in the EU. Prevention is key to lowering the impact of the disease and reducing mortality rates, however, the COVID-19 pandemic had a great impact on preventive healthcare and many screening programs were impacted across EU hospitals and healthcare units. This must be taken into account when analysing data for 2021. In 2021, the top three countries with the highest breast cancer screening rates for women aged 50 to 69 years, who had received a mammography within the previous two years, were the Nordic EU countries: Denmark (83.0%), Finland (82.2%) and Sweden (80.0%). Malta (77.8%) and Slovenia (77.2%) followed closely behind. At the other end of the range, the lowest breast cancer screening rates were registered in Bulgaria (20.6%), Cyprus (24.6%), Slovakia (25.5%), Hungary (29.8%) and Latvia (30.8%).Compared with 2011, breast cancer screening rates increased in 6 of the 20 EU countries w...
