7 day outlook:  Buckingham Fountain downtown might have switched on for summer yesterday-- but Mother Nature is a bit behind with those summery temps for Mom's Day weekend in Chicago. Temps on Sunday were cooler than normal, especially by the lake. Some near picture perfect May weather ahead for the beginning of the week as high pressure building in from OntarioWe could see some hazier skies with the sunshine thanks to wildfires burning out of control in parts of Alberta province. While our air quality could take a bit of a hit—most often the particulate matter in the skies could end up making our sunrises and sunsets quite ironically beautiful since it can scatter the light into some amazing colors.

La política terminó el jueves por la noche junto con la emergencia nacional de salud pública por coronavirus.El alcalde de Laredo, Texas, dijo a Jim Acosta de CNN que aunque el número de personas que llegan puede ser menor de lo que ...

MILAN (AP) — When Inter Milan kicked off its Champions League campaign with a loss at home to Bayern Munich, few would have imagined that eight months later the Nerazzurri would be on the brink of their first final in more than a decade.But that is the situation Inter is in as it takes a 2-0 lead into the second leg of its semifinal series against AC Milan on Tuesday, having vastly outplayed its city rival in the first match at San Siro last week.Back in September, it seemed unlikely that Inter would even advance past the group stage.Simone Inzaghi’s team had just lost 2-0 at home to Bayern, which was favorite to qualify from the group along with Barcelona. But Inter managed to beat Barcelona at home and draw 3-3 in Spain.And it was those matches that gave the Inter team the belief it could fight for its first European title since it won the league, Italian Cup and Champions League under José Mourinho in 2010.“We work together seven days a week, we went through difficult moments, th...

DUNKIRK, France (AP) — Building factories to boost job creation and make France more independent — that’s President Emmanuel Macron’s ambition for the French economy.It’s a big challenge, as France reels from protracted protests, rising food and energy prices and other fallout from the Ukraine war.While Macron woos investors to help “re-industrialize” France and reduce Europe’s dependence on China and the U.S., protesters follow him around the country, banging saucepans to protest economic injustice and his leadership.More than 200 international business leaders are expected Monday at the ‘Choose France’ event staged at the palace of Versailles to promote foreign investment. It follows a series of incentives announced by Macron last week to support innovative industries and transition towards greener technology. They include tax credits in fields like battery production, electric cars, hydrogen and wind power, as well as accelerating authorization for industrial projects. “France is...
