Cristiana Girelli’s goal gives Italy 1-0 win over Argentina at the Women’s World Cup

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 15:15:03 GMT

AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — Cristiana Girelli’s goal in the 87th minute broke a stalemate and Italy kicked off the Women’s World Cup with a 1-0 victory over Argentina on Monday night. Italy put the ball in the back of the net twice in the opening half but both times were offside, before Girelli’s breakthrough header. Girelli came into the match as a substitute in the 83rd minute. The Italians have never dropped an opening match at the World Cup. But this time they faced tenacious Argentina, eager for its first-ever win in the tournament. Going into the World Cup, La Albiceleste were inspired by their men’s side and star Lionel Messi, who brought home the World Cup trophy from Qatar late last year. Italy has had more success on the big stage, advancing to the World Cup quarterfinals in 2019 after a 2-0 round of 16 victory over China. The Italians were stopped by the Netherlands, which went on to lose to the United States in the final. Argentina had a boistero...

From Napoléon to Macron: How France learned to love Big Brother

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 15:15:03 GMT

PARIS — Liberté. Egalité. But mostly: sécurité. It all started with Napoléon Bonaparte. Over two centuries, France cobbled together a surveillance apparatus capable of intercepting private communications; keeping traffic and localization data for up to a year; storing people’s fingerprints; and monitoring most of the territory with cameras.This system, which has faced pushback from digital rights organizations and United Nations experts, will get its spotlight moment at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. In July next year, France will deploy large-scale, real-time, algorithm-supported video surveillance cameras — a first in Europe. (Not included in the plan: facial recognition.) Last month, the French parliament approved a controversial government plan to allow investigators to track suspected criminals in real-time via access to their devices’ geolocation, camera and microphone. Paris also lobbied in Brussels to be allowed to spy on reporters in the name of national security...

The Heat is On!

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 15:15:03 GMT

Coming off of a beautiful weekend, our overall quiet pattern will roll on but it’s about to get hot! Let’s start off with the *mostly* quiet pattern… unfortunately I can’t say the next two days will be absolutely dry like yesterday was, but rain chances will remain low for both today (Monday) and Tuesday. We’ll bubble up a few storms each day, but it’s only a 20-30% chance so many of us will stay dry. It’s probably more likely you’ll see a shower or storm on Tuesday than today.The bigger story this week is about the heat! Temperatures were warm over the weekend and we only climb from there. Temperatures will head to the mid to upper 80s today (low 80s on the Cape) but it will be tolerable outside because the humidity will stay relatively low.Humidity will climb the next few days along with the temperatures. I don’t think it’ll get as bad as it was earlier this month and even the end of June with multiple days with dew point...

Lucas: Targeting Trump makes him stronger

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 15:15:03 GMT

Donald Trump ought to report his latest pending indictment as an in-kind campaign contribution.An in-kind contribution is when a thing of value is given or loaned to influence a federal election.Giving a storefront for headquarters to a candidate would be an in-kind contribution, for instance. It is a thing of value.Sometimes it is better than cash.The latest thing of “value” granted Trump is the overwhelming amount of media attention he is getting related to the letter he received from the Justice Department last Sunday.Trump is probably better known around the world than Joe Biden.The letter informed Trump that he is a target of the department’s investigation into efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, an election that Trump maintains was “rigged.”Such a letter is an indication that Democrat headhunter Jack Smith, the special counsel, will seek to indict Trump any day now.The charges could include   conspiracy and obstruction of an official proceeding, ...

China urges Japan not to disrupt chip industry after technology curbs take effect

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 15:15:03 GMT

BEIJING (AP) — China’s government appealed to Japan on Monday not to disrupt the semiconductor industry after curbs on exports of Japanese chip-making technology took effect, adding to technology restrictions Washington and its allies have imposed on China on security grounds.The Japanese restrictions that took effect Sunday limit Chinese access to tools for etching microscopically small circuits on advanced chips for smartphones, artificial intelligence and other applications. The Netherlands also joined the United States in limiting access to chipmaking tools that Washington says could be used to develop weapons.“We are deeply dissatisfied and regret the act,” said a foreign ministry spokesperson, Mao Ning. She urged Japan to “prevent relevant measures from interfering with the normal semiconductor industry cooperation between the two countries.”The ruling Communist Party has invested billions of dollars in building Chinese chip foundries but needs Western and Japanese technology ...
