SAN DIEGO (AP) — Jeimer Candelario and Lane Thomas homered, Josiah Gray pitched into the sixth inning and the Washington Nationals beat the San Diego Padres 2-0 on Saturday night.“Josiah gave us the five innings-plus that we needed,” Nationals manager Dave Martinez said. “The story tonight to me is Josiah, he battled through.” In the first inning, Candelario homered to right center. Thomas, who had three hits, connected in the third. “We want to control the game from the first inning to the ninth inning, that is what we did today,” Candelario said. “We set the tone, we scored early and we go from there.”Washington had lost nine of its previous 11 games, including a 13-3 drubbing of the Padres on Friday night.Gray (5-6) struck out six.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Rap City.” “106 & Park.” And even, “Uncut.”From innovative to provocative, BET has played a crucial role in creating several influential programs that helped spread hip-hop to millions of homes across the globe. Other than its rival show “Yo! MTV Raps,” the network known as Black Entertainment Television took up the mantle — despite some reluctance — to showcase a misunderstood rap culture decades before it became today’s most popular music genre.For many, BET became a safe place for those within hip-hop to express their artistry, although not without criticism. Through it all, the network has been a mainstay for established and emerging rap artists.It will all come together during the BET Awards on Sunday. Show officials plan to celebrate the genre’s 50th anniversary during the telecast dubbed as a “non-stop Hip-Hop Party.” It also comes at a pivotal time for the network, which will be soon be sold.

MECCA, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Over 2 million Muslims will take part in this week’s Hajj pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, as one of the world’s largest religious gatherings returns to full capacity following years of coronavirus restrictions.The Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam, and all Muslims are required to undertake it at least once in their lives if they are physically and financially able to do so. For the pilgrims, it is a profound spiritual experience that wipes away sins, brings them closer to God and highlights Muslim unity.For the Saudi royal family, which captured Mecca in the 1920s, organizing the pilgrimage is a major source of pride and legitimacy. Authorities have invested billions of dollars in modern infrastructure, but the Hajj has occasionally been marred by tragedy, as in 2015, when over 2,400 pilgrims died in a stampede.Here’s a look at the pilgrimage, which begins on Monday, and its meaning.WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF THE ...Israel’s Netanyahu briefly freezes Golan wind turbine project that set off rare clashes

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered a brief freeze in construction on a wind turbine project in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights that set off a rare clash between Druze residents and police.Netanyahu said late Saturday he agreed to a pause on the project during this week’s Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday, which is meant to allow time for talks to defuse the crisis. The project is expected to resume next week. A statement from Netanyahu’s office said he made the decision based on advice from security officials.The Druze oppose the plan, which would install more than two dozen 200-meter (660-foot) tall turbines throughout their land. The landowners said the turbines will harm their agricultural output and that the energy company behind the project didn’t consult with them in good faith, a claim the company denies.Last week, thousands of residents demonstrated against the project, storming a police station, throwing stones and fireworks, se...Gunmen shoot and kill Sikh man in Pakistan’s northwest, police say
