Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:17:11 GMT

A new survey conducted by Inova Health Systems found that nearly half, 44%, of Virginians say that they would be afraid to seek care for addiction, or substance use disorder. But with the number of people who say they know someone struggling with the disease on the rise, doctors in Northern Virginia are looking to change that.The survey also showed that a little more than 32% of adults in Northern Virginia in 2022 said they know someone personally struggling with addiction — that’s up from 25% in 2021.“Substance use disorders are a preventable and treatable condition. It’s important people realize that,” said Dr. Zeina Saliba, chief of the addiction and recovery services division for Inova. Saliba is also an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at George Washington University.She said addiction is a chronic illness like many others, and that her life’s work is aimed at helping people open up about their struggles.“We are working to educate, and...

BEIJING (AP) — Second-ranked Iga Swiatek ended Coco Gauff’s 16-match winning streak as she advanced to the China Open final with a dominant 6-2, 6-3 victory over the U.S. Open champion on Saturday.It was the 19-year-old Gauff’s first loss since the quarterfinals in Montreal, a span that included titles in Cincinnati and at Flushing Meadows.Swiatek will meet No.22-ranked Liudmila Samsonova in Sunday’s final, after the Russian ousted fifth-seeded Elena Rybakina 7-6 (7), 6-3. The Polish player made just four unforced errors in the first set, keeping consistent pressure on Gauff’s serve, and made a decisive break at 3-1 to ease through the set in 40 minutes.Swiatek maintained her vice-like grip on the match, breaking Gauff at the start of the second set to lead 2-0. A medical timeout to have Gauff’s right shoulder assessed didn’t break Swiatek’s momentum as she closed it out to extend her head-to-head record against her rival to 8-1. “I’m really happy with ...

Despite wide support for Ukraine aid in Congress, it seems no one could muscle $6 billion to passage

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:17:11 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The collapse of Ukraine aid in Congress was months in the making, and exactly what Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell had feared.McConnell had warned that political support for Ukraine was in danger as a small but vocal contingent of fellow Republican lawmakers intensified their efforts against sending U.S. money overseas for the fight against Russia.First in a series of high-profile speeches this summer then in direct overtures to the White House, the Republican leader who had visited Kyiv and put a priority on U.S. support for Ukraine tried to steer the hard-right flank of his party.But in the end, neither McConnell nor the White House nor Democrats in Congress could muscle a scaled-back $6 billion military and civilian aid package for Ukraine to passage in last week’s deal to avoid a U.S. government shutdown. Despite overwhelming bipartisan support in Washington for stopping Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion, the failure to approve Uk...

‘Catastrophic’ intelligence failure let Hamas wreak havoc, says former Israeli security official

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:17:11 GMT

An unprecedented military offensive by Hamas fighters on Saturday that has left dozens of Israelis dead and hundreds more injured or taken prisoner was allowed to happen by “disarray” in the Israeli armed forces and intelligence services, said Chuck Freilich, the country’s former deputy national security adviser.Freilich pointed out that the bloodshed comes 50 years and a day after the start of the 1973 Yom Kippur war. “That was a catastrophic failure in regards to Egypt and Syria. This is a catastrophic failure in regards to Gaza,” he told POLITICO. “It’s a failure in terms of intelligence, operationally,” Freilich said. “It’s clear we were caught totally unprepared by this. The divisional headquarters responsible for Gaza was occupied, they’re in disarray, and so the whole response has been delayed.”Freilich, who was deputy national security adviser in the early 2000s and is now a professor at Tel Aviv University’s Instit...
