Alcantara is sidelined because of a right forearm strain, while Soler will miss time because of a right oblique strain.The NL West-leading Dodgers lost for the fifth time in six games. Los Angeles will be without starting pitcher Julio Urías for an indefinite period after MLB placed him on administrative leave Wedn...

M-DCPS Board debates recognition of October as LGBTQ History Month amid controversy

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:54:14 GMT

The Miami-Dade County Public School Board is deliberating on whether the district should officially recognize October as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer History Month. At least 60 people signed up for the public comment section of Wednesday’s weekly school board meeting that began in the afternoon and is still underway as of 10:30 p.m.The discussion revolves around House Bill 1557, dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” law, which is sponsored by a member of the school board. Since Florida Gov. Ron Desantis signed the law, it has become a controversial issue, as it prohibits instruction related to sexual orientation and gender identity for students in grades pre-K through 12.The proposal to recognize LGBTQ History Month has ignited a heated debate within the Miami-Dade community. While some individuals and advocacy groups champion the idea as a move toward inclusivity and education, others express grave concerns about the potential violation of the newly es...

We should never have let Cyprus join the EU

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:54:14 GMT

Jack Straw was foreign secretary of the United Kingdom from 2001 to 2006.It was recently reported that two houses in an exclusive enclave near Moscow had been purchased for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s daughters by a Cypriot company named Ermira, which was officially owned by a Russian lawyer, but in reality it belonged to Putin.The close association between Russia and the Greek-Cypriot Republic of Cyprus is long standing, all pervasive and, many believe, rather unhealthy. But what is the solution to this problem?The republic has a population of about 800,000 — or just 0.002 percent of the European Union’s total population. Yet, well into the last decade, tiny Cyprus was the third largest foreign direct investor in Russia. The money was mostly Russian capital, which had been hidden offshore in Cyprus to avoid tax and scrutiny, and was then reinvested back in Russia.From 2012 to 2013, an extremely serious banking crisis in Cyprus had come close to destabilizing the whole Euro a...

‘Europe’s got a problem’ — Drug violence grips Belgium’s second largest city

ANTWERP, Belgium — When Lucas first heard the deafening blast, it sounded like a car had just crashed into his house.It quickly became clear, as he and his neighbors gathered outside in the middle of the February night, that the pizza shop across the street had been bombed — another chapter in the drug war plaguing Belgium’s second-largest city.The police arrived on the scene with a rehearsed precision that was both reassuring and deeply unsettling. “Are we already at a point where responding to this has become a routine job for emergency services?” asked Lucas, who asked to be identified only by his first name.Home to Europe’s second-largest cargo port, Antwerp has become a major entry point for drugs, especially cocaine coming from Latin America, and the turf wars have spilled into its streets. In 2022, there were 81 drug-related shootings and explosions in Antwerp, according to numbers shared by the city with POLITICO, and another 25 in the first five months of ...

Germany’s gambit to tout e-fuels falls flat

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:54:14 GMT

MUNICH — Germany had hoped to use the pizzazz of the Munich auto show to hype its vision of saving combustion engine cars with novel e-fuels.It didn’t work out that way. Efforts by Transport Minister Volker Wissing to persuade countries to sign up to a statement meant to be announced at the show backing synthetic e-fuels as an option for cutting greenhouse gas emissions from passenger cars was scrapped because of disagreements on the proposed text.A draft of the declaration obtained in advance of the show by POLITICO asked signatories to pledge to invest in new e-fuel plants; to share know-how; and to defend “technological neutrality” in the development of clean vehicle technology — shorthand for refusing to purely rely on batteries to decarbonize road transport.Backing e-fuels “will also improve industrial policy opportunities for the Global South,” the German-led declaration argued, “as mass production will enjoy particularly favourable conditions in places with low wind an...
