England star Phil Foden misses game after appendix surgery

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:44:31 GMT

LONDON (AP) — England player Phil Foden has been ruled out of the European Championship qualifier against Ukraine on Sunday after having his appendix removed hours before kickoff. The Manchester City forward underwent surgery on Sunday morning, the Football Association said. No estimate has been given on how long Foden is expected to be out while he recovers, but he is likely to miss City’s Premier League game against Liverpool next Saturday and could be a doubt for his team’s Champions League quarterfinal first-leg match against Bayern Munich on April 11. England manager Gareth Southgate has not called up a replacement for Foden and is also without the suspended Luke Shaw and Reece James, who withdrew due to a hamstring injury. It leaves Southgate with 20 players to select from against Ukraine at Wembley.England made a winning start to its bid to reach Euro 2024 by beating champions Italy 2-1 on Thursday. ___More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer and https://twit...

US Congress concerned about Russia placing nuclear arms in Belarus

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:44:31 GMT

Members of Congress are concerned about reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to move tactical nuclear weapons into Belarus, though the threat should not stop the U.S. from continuing its support for Ukraine, Rep. Mike Gallagher said Sunday.“Putin has engaged in nuclear saber-rattling since the start of this crisis, Gallagher (R-Wis.) said during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week.” “It’s something to be concerned about. But we should not allow his threats to deter us. We can’t allow that to be a cause for delaying critical weapon system[s] that we need to deliver to the Ukrainians.”Putin announced the plans to build a storage facility for nuclear weapons in neighboring Belarus by July 1 on Saturday, according to reports from a Russian state-owned media outlet, Ria Novosti.“Tensions are rising,” House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul (R-Texas) said during an interview on “Fox News Sunday.” “I think this is saber-rattling on the part of Putin.”Sen...

Heat no longer in a zone, leaving them defensively deficient and desperate

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:44:31 GMT

Even when the gimmick worked, Erik Spoelstra appreciated there had to be something more defensively.Once the gimmick was solved, the Miami Heat’s defense has been, well, defenseless.Yes, it was a good run for the zone defense that Spoelstra utilized during the first half of the season, putting his team on record pace for defensive possessions in zone and vaulting the Heat to a top-five defensive rating prior to the All-Star break.And then it wasn’t such a good run.“The last few times we’ve used it, we’ve gotten torched by it,” Spoelstra said. “So it was kind of an easy decision to move away from it. We work on it, still. Still have it in our tool kit. It just depends on the game and the circumstance.”At the moment, circumstances are dire on that end of the floor, including Saturday night’s 129-100 loss to the Brooklyn Nets at Miami-Dade Arena.The numbers are staggering and sobering.In their last 15 games, the Heat are 25th in the...

Biden’s visit an ‘authentic’ expression of Canada’s importance to U.S.: ambassador

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:44:31 GMT

WASHINGTON — The federal Liberals aren’t the only ones declaring U.S. President Joe Biden’s visit to Ottawa a triumph for Canada-U.S. relations. U.S. envoy David Cohen describes Biden’s visit as an authentic, intimate showcase of how important Canada continues to be to its southern neighbour.Cohen is pointing to significant progress on modernizing Norad and working together on critical minerals as two of the most important elements of the visit. But not everyone is happy: new rules at the Canada-U.S. border are already turning away legions of would-be asylum seekers at the unofficial Roxham Road crossing.Cohen says the changes are an integral part of a larger, broader strategy to deal with irregular migration, which he calls a very difficult issue. He’s also playing down Biden’s comment that Canada doesn’t want to turn its critical minerals into products, saying the president was trying to emphasize the opportunity for the two countries to work to...

Top 10 cities and states with the fastest-growing EV charger infrastructure

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:44:31 GMT

(iSeeCars) -- Electric vehicles are projected to grow from six percent to 30 percent of new vehicle sales in the next six years. A 500-percent spike in EV sales will require a similar rise in electric vehicle infrastructure if all these new EV owners want access to quick and convenient public charging.While there are already 150,000 EV charging stations in the U.S., most of them are Level 2 chargers that only add about 10-20 miles an hour to an electric vehicle’s range. Level 3 fast chargers can add 3-20 miles or range a minute, completely replenishing most electric vehicles in 30-60 minutes. However, with only 28,000 Level 3 fast chargers in the public infrastructure, access to fast charging is limited. Of those 28,000 fast chargers, over 17,000 are part of the Tesla Supercharger Network, leaving only 11,000 Level 3 chargers available for non-Tesla drivers. You can see which cities are the most and least EV friendly in our recent EV charger study, but suffice it to say the cou...
