BERLIN (AP) — A man with a previous conviction for membership in the Islamic State group has been arrested in Germany on suspicion that he may have agreed to attack a pro-Israel demonstration, prosecutors said Wednesday.The 29-year-old, whose identity wasn’t released in keeping with German privacy rules, was detained Tuesday at his apartment in the western city of Duisburg.Prosecutors in Duesseldorf said that a court on Wednesday ordered him kept in custody pending a possible indictment on suspicion of agreeing to commit murder and manslaughter.They said he is suspected of telling a “chat partner” in Syria “in a sufficiently concrete manner” that he was prepared to commit an attack and that the possible target was a pro-Israel demonstration.Prosecutors said the Duesseldorf state court in 2017 gave the man a five-year sentence under juvenile law for membership in IS and other offenses, which he served.

¿Por qué ninguna mujer ha sido nominada para la presidencia de la Cámara Baja?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:44:07 GMT

WASHINGTON DC – Mientras los republicanos siguen estancados en la elección del próximo presidente de la Cámara de Representantes, casi una docena de hombres se miraron en el espejo y, a pesar de poco o ningún reconocimiento de su nombre o la posibilidad de conseguir el puesto, se imaginaron a sí mismos como la persona más poderosa de la Cámara.Ninguna mujer dentro de las filas del Partido Republicano ha tomado medidas para hacer lo mismo.Eso no es porque no haya opciones. La representante Elise Stefanik de Nueva York es la cuarta republicana en liderazgo. Las representantes Lisa McClain de Michigan y Stephanie Bice de Oklahoma también desempeñan funciones de liderazgo. Y tres mujeres republicanas presiden los comités.Cuando se le preguntó sobre la falta de mujeres que se lanzaran al ruedo por su antiguo trabajo, el expresidente Kevin McCarthy dijo a NBC News: “No lo sé”.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:44:07 GMT

PARIS (AP) — England captain Owen Farrell condemned the abuse targeted at teammate Tom Curry since he complained of being subject to a racial slur during the Rugby World Cup semi-final against South Africa.Curry alleged verbal discrimination from Springboks hooker Bongi Mbonambi last Saturday at Stade de France. World Rugby is investigating.Mbonambi’s participation in the World Cup final against New Zealand on Saturday is in doubt if he’s found guilty of misconduct.South Africa Sports Minister Zizi Kodwa has supported Mbonambi but social media has also been used to vilify Curry, prompting support for the flanker from England and his Sale Sharks club on Wednesday.When Curry was named to play against Argentina in the third-place game this Friday, Farrell said the online abuse was unacceptable.“Personally speaking, he has been first class like he always is. What isn’t understandable is the amount of abuse he has got, the effect that has had, not just on him,” Farrell ...

California Gov. Newsom has surprise meeting with China’s leader Xi amid warm welcome in Beijing

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:44:07 GMT

BANGKOK (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom had a surprise meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing on Wednesday after being warmly welcomed by other senior leaders in a display of friendliness that stands in sharp contrast to the dialogue between the United States and China in recent years.The governor is on a weeklong tour of China, where he plans to push for climate cooperation. Newsom’s trip as governor, once considered routine, is drawing attention as it comes after years of heightening tensions between the U.S. and China.“I’m here in expectation, as you suggest, of turning the page, of renewing our friendship and reengaging (on) foundational and fundamental issues that will determine our collective faith in the future,” Newsom said in brief opening remarks ahead of his meeting with Wang Yi, China’s top diplomat, earlier in the day.Though Newsom was in China to promote cooperation in curbing climate change, Chinese officials took the opportunity in welcome ...

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street is slumping Wednesday following a mixed set of profit reports from two of its most influential Big Tech companies.The S&P 500 was 1% lower in morning trading, coming off its first gain in the last six days.
