(CNN) — El Gobierno del presidente Joe Biden sigue buscando detalles concretos sobre el estado del puñado de estadounidenses que se cree que han sido tomados como rehenes por Hamas, incluyendo exactamente cuántos puede tener cautivos el grupo terrorista en Gaza, o si están actualmente retenidos juntos en un mismo lugar, dijo un funcionario estadounidense a CNN.El coordinador de comunicaciones estratégicas del Consejo de Seguridad Nacional, John Kirby, dijo a los periodistas este miércoles que, de los 17 estadounidenses que se sabe están en paradero desconocido en Israel en este momento, el número de los que se cree que están retenidos como rehenes por Hamas es “muy pequeño, como menos de un puñado”.Se cree que muchos de los estadounidenses en paradero desconocido tienen doble nacionalidad israelí-estadounidense. Las autoridades israelíes creen que hay hasta 150 rehenes en total retenidos en Gaza.Mientras el Gobierno de Biden continúa con su labor de apoyo a Israel ...

Massive fire at motel in Fort Lauderdale displaces 2 families

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 23:45:40 GMT

An intense blaze that erupted overnight in Fort Lauderdale has left a motel in ruins, displacing two families. The structure now stands charred and declared unsafe by fire officials. In a heroic act, one man rushed inside the burning building to rescue his family even before firefighters arrived on the scene. Larry Shannon, along with his wife and three young children, ages 11, 6, and 4, was inside the front unit when the fire broke out. “I heard some glass breaking and I seen like a big light coming from the bathroom that wasn’t normal,” he recounted. “When I got up and opened the door, I seen the fire.” Firefighters responded quickly to the motel on State Road 7 and Peters Road, where they discovered two rooms engulfed in flames, with black smoke billowing out. They managed to contain the fire, preventing it from spreading further, but the smoke caused damage to other rooms. “There’s a good amount of damage here, so these are not habitable...

Government advisers to Rishi Sunak: You’ve put UK climate goals at risk

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 23:45:40 GMT

LONDON — U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has spent the week listening to the opposition Labour Party pull apart his green policies. Now another damning verdict has arrived — this time from his own climate advisers.Sunak’s recent package of climate policy reforms “increase longer-term risks” that the U.K. will miss its goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050, according to the Climate Change Committee (CCC), with some changes making “net zero considerably harder to achieve.”The CCC was established by the U.K. parliament in 2008 to provide independent advice to the government on climate policies.Its analysis, published Thursday afternoon, is the CCC’s first intervention since the prime minister used a Downing Street speech last month to announce that the government was watering down a swathe of climate pledges, including a delay to phasing out combustion engine vehicles, lifting rules for improving energy efficiency in rental properties, and a slower transition to lower-emission heat...

Scottish parliament won’t fly Israel flag

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 23:45:40 GMT

LONDON — The devolved Scottish parliament has been criticized by the country’s Conservative lawmakers, after its authority refused to fly Israel’s flag outside the building as a gesture of solidarity.The Holyrood parliament’s managing authority declined a request from the Scottish Conservatives to fly the Israeli flag following surprise attacks by Hamas on Israel from Gaza at the weekend.“A request was received to fly the Israeli flag. The [Scottish parliamentary corporate body] considered the request and approval was not given,” a spokesperson for the SPCB, made up of four MSPs plus the parliament’s presiding officer, said.“In this case there was a majority view and no vote took place,” they added.The Israeli flag was projected onto the U.K.’s House of Commons building in London, as well as on No. 10 Downing Street, the office of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

Ravens vs. Titans scouting report for Week 6: Who has the edge?

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 23:45:40 GMT

The Ravens lost, 17-10, to the Pittsburgh Steelers in a symphony of dropped passes, turnovers and blown chances. The Tennessee Titans gave up 193 rushing yards in a 23-16 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Which team will have the advantage Sunday in London?Ravens passing game vs. Titans pass defenseThe loss to Pittsburgh featured one of the strangest Ravens offensive performances in recent memory. Lamar Jackson was Pro Football Focus’ highest-graded quarterback for the week but finished with a 65.2 passer rating and no touchdown throws as his team scored 10 points, none on its last nine drives. How does that happen? Jackson’s receivers let him down to an absurd degree, dropping anywhere from six to eight passes, depending on which analyst was charting. These were not inconsequential drops. Two were in the end zone and another two could have gone for touchdowns or put the Ravens on the cusp of the goal line. Wide receivers Rashod Bateman, Zay Flowers and Nelson Agholor an...

The Orioles’ 2023 season came crashing down, but ‘liftoff’ is underway

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 23:45:40 GMT

Tuesday night, in the same building Mike Elias declared “it’s liftoff from here” for the Orioles 14 months ago, their 2023 season came crashing down.Yet, amid the jarring disappointment of a team that hadn’t been swept in 91 straight series suffering one in the American League Division Series at the hands of the Texas Rangers, it’s hard not to believe Baltimore’s executive vice president and general manager was right about “liftoff.”The Orioles have taken flight, and they are only getting started.That’s perhaps difficult to accept after a team that finished with 101 wins in the regular season came away with zero in the playoffs. The Rangers exposed their few weaknesses: an inexperienced rotation, a cushy middle portion of the bullpen, a lineup sporadically prone to stretches of collective futility. Few teams, though, managed to corral them during the 162-game grind of the regular season, one that ended with the Orioles a...
