Palestinians: Israeli fire kills teen in West Bank raid

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:18:47 GMT

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli forces fatally shot a Palestinian teenager in a raid in the occupied West Bank on Monday, the Palestinian Health Ministry said, part of a relentless wave of violence that has rocked the region for the last year.There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military, which has been staging near-nightly raids in West Bank cities, towns and villages in what it says is an attempt to stamp out militancy. Dozens of Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire this year and 19 people have been killed in Palestinian attacks against Israelis during that time.The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the teen as Jibril al-Laada, 17. It said three others were seriously wounded in the fighting, which took place in the Aqabat Jabr refugee camp near the West Bank city of Jericho. The camp has been a frequent target of Israeli raids.Israel launched the raids after a spate of Palestinian attacks last spring. That set off some of the worst fighting between Israel ...

New Zealand leader says he favors nation becoming a republic

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:18:47 GMT

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said Monday he personally favors his country becoming a republic, but it’s not a change he intends to push for as leader.Hipkins made the comments to reporters hours before he was due to depart for this week’s coronation of King Charles III in London.New Zealand, a former British colony, is self-governing but Charles retains a largely ceremonial role as head of state and king. Charles is represented in New Zealand by a governor-general.Like many former British colonies, New Zealand continues to wrestle with what — if any — constitutional role the British monarchy should play in modern times. Barbados chose to become a republic in 2021. Jamaica last year said it plans to pursue independence. And Australia in February decided to remove the British monarch from the last of its banknotes, although an image of Charles is expected to feature on coins.“Ideally, in time, New Zealand will become a fully independent...

SCHOHARIE, N.Y. (AP) — Nearly five years after a stretch limousine packed with birthday revelers careened down a hill and off a road in rural upstate New York, killing 20 people, the operator of the company that rented out the vehicle is going on trial.Nauman Hussain, who ran Prestige Limousine, is charged with criminally negligent homicide and second-degree manslaughter in connection with the Oct. 6, 2018 crash — one of the deadliest U.S. road wrecks of the past two decades — in Schoharie, a village west of Albany. Jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday in Schoharie County Court.Seventeen people using the limo for a birthday celebration were killed, along with the driver and two bystanders outside a country store where the vehicle crashed.The victims’ relatives have been on an emotional rollercoaster ever since. After pandemic-related delays in the criminal case, they were exasperated by a 2021 announcement of a plea deal that would have spared Hussain prison time. A sur...

First Republic in limbo as US regulators juggle bank’s fate

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:18:47 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Regulators searched for a solution to First Republic Bank’s woes over the weekend, hoping to find a way forward before U.S. stock markets opened Monday. San Francisco-based First Republic has struggled since the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in early March, as investors and depositors grew increasingly worried the bank may not survive as an independent entity. The bank’s stock closed at $3.51 on Friday, a fraction of the roughly $170 a share it traded for a year ago. It fell further in afterhours trading.World markets have periodically been shaken by worries over turmoil in the banking industry since Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse. On Monday markets in many parts of the world were closed for May 1 holidays. The two markets in Asia that were open, in Tokyo and Sydney, rose on Monday while U.S. futures were little changed, with the contract for the S&P 500 up nearly 0.1%. First Republic has been seen as the bank most likely to collapse ne...

Minnesota United and FC Dallas played to a scoreless first half on Sunday, but there was one firework during the opening 45 minutes at Allianz Field.Apple TV commentator Taylor Twellman shared Emanuel Reynoso nearly got on a flight from Argentina to Minnesota.The Pioneer Press can confirm the MLS All-Star gave MNUFC tangible belief he was going to end his months-long holdout in mid-April after Loons technical director Mark Watson had a one-on-one meeting with Reynoso in Cordoba. They discussed Reynoso’s personal issues — the reason for his absence — and a flight was booked for Reynoso to travel north within the next day. The talented midfielder, of course, did not follow through.After not initially reporting to preseason camp in January and being suspended by MLS in February, what ended up being a tease from Reynoso two weeks ago deflated hope among club officials and didn’t help mend an already strained relationship.The prolonged absence of the Loons creativ...

WGA members prep for strike as early as Tuesday morning

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:18:47 GMT

A majority of members in the Writers Guild of America voted to authorize a strike if labor negotiations between WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers broke down. This would be the first WGA strike in more than 10 years. More than 11,000 WGA members are requesting nearly $600 million dollars in wage increases with hopes to prevent a strike. If a deal is not agreed on by Monday night, the strike could likely start Tuesday morning. “We have the power to protect our economic security,” said member Angelina Burnett.  “Because lower and mid-level writers deserve to be able to earn a living in this career,” member Gina Ippolito added. “We have to stand up for writers and have to make writing a viable career for everyone,” said member Justin Alpern.If a strike ensues, it would halt the production of scripted network programs and late-night talk shows including “Late Night with Seth Meyers.” It would also stop writing work for movies, TV, an...
