The security footage shows the subject pacing along the sidewalk in front of the business, located along the 7400 block of Biscayne Boulevard.“We get characters that wander up and down Biscayne Boulevard from time to time, but this guy I haven’t seen before,” h...

Trade tensions simmer ahead of EU-India summit

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:33:37 GMT

When European Commission officials and senior Indian ministers meet on Tuesday for their first-ever trade and technology summit, both sides will be eager to show how two of the world’s largest democracies are working hand-in-glove on everything from artificial intelligence to climate-saving technologies.Yet under the surface, ongoing tension — particularly related to tricky trade disputes like an upcoming European Union levy on foreign businesses selling their carbon-intensive wares within the 27-country bloc — will overshadow what Brussels and New Delhi want to frame as a meeting of like-minded partners.The EU-India Trade and Technology Council brings together some of India’s most high-profile politicians, including Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, the country’s external affairs minister, and Piyush Goyal, its trade minister, with Commission counterparts like vice presidents Margrethe Vestager and Valdis Dombrovskis.“The European Union and India are committed to deep...

Then, led by Jimmy Butler, Miami upset the top-seeded Bucks in the first round and before knocking off the fifth-seeded Knicks in the second round.Game 1 is Wednesday at TD Garden, with the winner of the series advancing to face either the Nuggets or Lakers in the NBA Finals.Here’s the full series schedule.

Celtics, led by Al Horford and adjustment from Joe Mazzulla, shut down Joel Embiid in Game 7

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:33:37 GMT

To get back to the Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics had to get past the league’s MVP. It was never a sure thing against Joel Embiid.The Celtics let an opportunity slip when they dropped Game 1 to the 76ers, who didn’t have Embiid as he nursed an injury. Embiid returned for Game 2, and though the Celtics still beat him to take a 2-1 series lead, he was still a problem. His dominance propelled the Sixers to a 3-2 lead. Joe Mazzulla had to make an adjustment to limit him, inserting Robert Williams into the starting lineup as the Celtics went big to combat Embiid.It worked. And the Celtics ultimately outlasted Embiid. They wore him down and sent the MVP packing for the summer. While Jayson Tatum received MVP chants all afternoon inside a raucous TD Garden, the actual MVP had his worst game of the series. He was a complete non-factor, finishing with 15 points on 5-for-18 shooting, and committing four turnovers.For the entirety of the series, Al Horford took the challenge. Though he...

China sentences 78-year-old US citizen to life in prison on spying charges

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:33:37 GMT

BEIJING (AP) — China sentenced a 78-year-old United States citizen to life in prison Monday on spying charges. John Shing-Wan Leung, who holds permanent residency in Hong Kong, was detained April 15, 2021, by the counterintelligence agency in the southeastern city of Suzhou. The city’s intermediate court announced Leung’s sentence in a brief statement on its social media site but gave no details of the charges. Such investigations and trials are held behind closed doors and little or no information is made public. Relations between Washington and Beijing have hit a historical low amid disputes over trade, technology, human rights and China’s increasingly aggressive approach toward its territorial claims. The sentencing comes as U.S. President Joe Biden is traveling to Hiroshima, Japan, for the Group of Seven major industrial nations summit, followed by a visit to Papua New Guinea, a Pacific island nation in a region where China has sought to increase its economic, military and diplo...

Border crossings off from last week’s highs as US pins hopes for order on mobile app

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:33:37 GMT

TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) — Pandemic-era limits on asylum known as Title 42 have been rarely discussed among many of tens of thousands of migrants massed on Mexico’s border with the United States.Their eyes were — and are — fixed instead on a new U.S. government mobile app that grants 1,000 people daily an appointment to cross the border and seek asylum while living in the U.S. With demand far outstripping available slots, the app has been an exercise in frustration for many — and a test of the Biden administration’s strategy of coupling new legal paths to entry with severe consequences for those who don’t follow them.“You start to give up hope but it’s the only way,” said Teresa Muñoz, 48, who abandoned her home in the Mexican state of Michoacan after a gang killed her husband and beat her. She has been trying for a month to gain entry through the app, called CBPOne, while staying in a Tijuana shelter with her two children and 2-year-old grandson.U.S. Homeland Se...

He will not need surgery.“Overall, he’s fine,” Colorado manager Bud Black said before Sunday’s game. “I think the feeling is that it could have been worse.”Feltner was put on the 15-day injured list. When asked whether the 26-year-old right-hander will be out for days, weeks or months, Black said “probably on the longer end of that.”Feltner was hurt in the second inning when Castellanos hit a slider 92.7 mph back at the mound. The ball hit Feltner on the back right side of his head, and he fell to the ground. He lay on his stomach as two members of the Rockies athletic training staff aided him. He was able to get on his feet and walked off the field with the assistance of the two trainers.Black said Feltner was “still fai...
