New Bills Aim to Block U.S. Arms Sales to Saudi Arabia, UAE Amid Concerns of Regional Conflict

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:05:25 GMT

Rep. Ilhan Omar is introducing two pieces of legislation to block U.S. arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, citing atrocities committed by both countries. The U.S. made high-profile sales to both countries in December, shoring up their offensive capabilities amid the possibility of a regional war and a growing risk of confrontation with Yemen’s Houthis.The Saudi bill is the Minnesota progressive’s latest attempt to hold the Saudi regime to account for its sordid human rights record. It would stop the sale of aircraft support, intelligence sensors, and other materiel relied upon by the Royal Saudi Air Force amid a blockade that has devastated Yemen’s population. In December, the State Department approved a $582 million sale to Saudi Arabia to renew its drone surveillance system.The UAE also recently escalated its involvement in the war on Yemen, leading to Houthi rocket attacks that have eroded the sense of security the Emirati states had cultivated. Omar’s measur...

Movie Review: Jessica Chastain, Peter Sarsgaard anchor ‘Memory,’ a thorny drama with a tender heart

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:05:25 GMT

Pain and trauma permeate Michel Franco’s new drama “ Memory, ” about two lost souls who find surprising comfort in one another. Both Jessica Chastain’s Sylvia and Peter Sarsgaard’s Saul are hostage to their own minds, though in vastly different ways. Hers haunts her. His is failing rapidly. And neither are entirely trustworthy.“Memory,” expanding nationwide Friday, starts as a seemingly standard issue “damaged person” movie, introducing Chastain’s Sylvia celebrating 12 years of sobriety at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting that her 12-year-old attends with her. But there are layers to this dramatic mystery, compounded with unreliable narrators and moral grey areas. Before you know it, the film morphs from something familiar into something altogether unexpected.Though it is not easily categorizable, “Memory” is a thoughtful journey featuring very fine performances from both Chastain and Sarsgaard, who was rewarded with the best actor prize from the Venice Film Festival last fall. While...

(CNN) — Owen Monroe tenía 18 días cuando hizo historia al convertirse en la primera persona en el mundo en recibir un trasplante parcial de corazón.Su innovadora cirugía, realizada en 2022, incluso captó la atención de los guionistas de Hollywood, quienes entrelazaron su historia en un episodio reciente del drama médico de larga duración “Anatomía de Grey”.En un estudio publicado en la revista JAMA, sus médicos documentarán otro hito: por primera vez, el tejido utilizado para reparar el corazón de Owen ha crecido, un objetivo largamente buscado en este tipo de reparación.En el momento de su primera operación, el corazón de Owen era del tamaño de una fresa. Hoy, a los 20 meses de edad, es aproximadamente del tamaño de un albaricoque y las nuevas válvulas y vasos sanguíneos han seguido el ritmo de su crecimiento, lo que significa que, a diferencia de la mayoría de los niños que nacen con el mismo defecto, es posible que no necesite tener grandes cirugías cardiacas a lo largo de ...

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:05:25 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Stock are slipping again on Wednesday as Wall Street’s slow start to 2024 carries into a second day.The S&P 500 was 0.6% lower in afternoon trading, though still within 2% of its record set exactly two years ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 224 points, or 0.6%, as of 12:31 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.9% lower.Some of last year’s biggest winners were again giving up some of their gains. Tesla fell 3.3% after soaring nearly 102% last year, for example. It and the other six “Magnificent 7” Big Tech stocks responsible for the majority of Wall Street’s returns last year have regressed some following their tremendous runs.The question hanging over the market is whether all the enthusiasm that helped stocks broadly rally for nine straight weeks into the start of this year was warranted. It was built on expectations that inflation has cooled enough for the Federal Reserve to not only halt its hikes to interest rates but to cut them sev...
