(CNN) — Un buque de guerra estadounidense que interceptó drones y misiles cerca de la costa de Yemen este jueves se encontró con un bombardeo mayor y más sostenido de lo que se conocía anteriormente, derribando 4 misiles de crucero y 15 drones en un período de 9 horas, según un funcionario estadounidense familiarizado con el situación.El USS Carney, un destructor de clase Arleigh-Burke que atravesó el Canal de Suez en dirección sur el miércoles, interceptó los misiles y drones mientras se dirigían hacia el norte a lo largo del mar Rojo. Su trayectoria dejaba pocas dudas de que los proyectiles se dirigían a Israel, dijo el funcionario, una evaluación más clara que la opinión inicial del Pentágono.Un bombardeo sostenido de drones y misiles dirigidos a Israel desde muy lejos del conflicto de Gaza es uno de una serie de señales preocupantes de que la guerra corre el riesgo de escalar más allá de las fronteras del enclave costero.Además de las protestas en las embajadas de Estados ...

INZAI CITY, Japan (AP) — Justin Suh shot a 3-under 67 on Saturday to lead the third round of the Zozo Championship, the first time he’s the leader going into the final day of a PGA Tour event, and also looking of his first PGA Tour victory.Just one shot behind are fellow Americans Eric Cole and Beau Hossler, who are also seeking their first PGA Tour victories. Cole shot 66 and Hossler, the second-round leader, had a 68 on a sunny fall day at the Narashino Country Club just outside Tokyo.To make the three very uncomfortable, Collin Morikawa — the first-round leader — is just two shots back after a 66. Morikawa is looking to break a “mini-slump” since winning the 2021 British Open and the DP World Tour Championship later that year. He also won the PGA Championship in 2020.Suh played on the Korn Ferry Tour, the developmental feeder for the PGA Tour, and credits the experience there for his growing maturity.“Throughout this year I’ve put myself in this position a few times in some...

(CNN) — Los primeros camiones que transportaban ayuda humanitaria entraron en Gaza este sábado, dos semanas después de que Israel lanzara un asedio completo del enclave en respuesta a los ataques mortales del grupo extremista islamista Hamas.Los camiones entraron por el cruce de Rafah, el único punto de entrada a Gaza no controlado por Israel, según lo visto por el equipo de CNN en el lado palestino de la frontera.

Patriots-Bills preview: How Bill Belichick can upset Josh Allen and Buffalo

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:49:48 GMT

For the third time in 30 years, the Patriots are two-score underdogs at home.The Bills (4-2) enter Foxboro as one of the NFL’s best teams, while the Pats (1-5) continue to flounder in a way few expected. Offensively, the Patriots snapped their games-long touchdown drought last week at Las Vegas, but again fell into an early hole. Staying competitive through the first half will be non-negotiable versus Buffalo, which has averaged more than 30 points per game against Bill Belichick’s defense the last three seasons.If the Pats fall behind by two scores, they’re done.

NFL notes: How the Patriots and Bills switched places in the AFC East

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:49:48 GMT

Once upon a time, during a dynasty far, far away, the Buffalo Bills were an afterthought.A laughingstock.A doormat the Patriots, Dolphins and even Jets wiped their feet on during the season. No team failed quite like the Bills, a little brother’s little brother with a long history of bad quarterbacks, fumbled coaching searches and lost drafts.From 2001 to 2019, whenever Tom Brady started and finished a game against Buffalo, the Patriotss won. During one stretch spanning the late 2000s and early 2010s, the Pats beat the Bills 15 straight times. In all, the Patriotss went 34-4 in the division series during the Brady era.But at the end, Buffalo quietly began to gain significant ground. Head coach Sean McDermott arrived in 2017, and Brady threw more interceptions than touchdowns against McDermott’s defense over his last three seasons.Then Brady left, and Josh Allen, after struggling in his initial battles with Bill Belichick, took over. Over the past three years, Allen has t...

TTC bus service resumes along portion of Broadview Avenue this weekend

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:49:48 GMT

TTC riders in the east end will see the return of transit service along a stretch of Broadview Avenue between Gerrard Street and Danforth Avenue starting this weekend. Transit officials say the first phase of track replacement work has finished ahead of schedule meaning the 504 and 505 King/Dundas buses will begin running again every 10 minutes between Castle Frank station and Hennick Bridgepoint Hospital. However, Broadview station remains closed which means buses still can’t enter the station. That phase of construction work is expected to be completed by the third week of November. Streetcar service is not expected to resume until early 2024 after Toronto Water and TTC overhead work on Broadview Avenue is completed.

Company bosses and workers grapple with the fallout of speaking up about the Israel-Hamas war

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:49:48 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Starbucks accused a union representing thousands of its baristas of damaging the brand and endangering co-workers with a pro-Palestinian tweet. The CEO of a prominent tech conference is facing boycotts after he publicly suggested Israel was committing war crimes. Company bosses have vowed never to hire members of a university’s student groups that condemned Israel.Meanwhile, Islamic rights advocates say much of the corporate response has minimized the suffering in Gaza, where thousands have died in Israeli airstrikes, and created an atmosphere of fear for workers who want to express support for Palestinians. Jewish groups have criticized tepid responses or slow reactions to the Oct. 7 Hamas rampage that killed 1,400 people in Israel and triggered the latest war.The fallout from the Israel-Hamas war has spilled into workplaces everywhere, as top leaders of prominent companies weigh in with their views while workers complain their voices are not being heard.
