(CNN) — El público está envuelto en la niebla de la guerra.Mientras los ojos del mundo siguen fijos en la escalada del conflicto entre Israel y Hamas, los espectadores se encuentran abrumados por afirmaciones dudosas que saturan el discurso global.

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:41:01 GMT

BROCKTON – In a matchup of strong Catholic Central opponents, it was the Bishop Feehan defense that came out on top on the road Friday.With five sacks and five forced turnovers, Bishop Feehan was able to shut out a potent Cardinal Spellman offense 24-0 at Potvin Field.“We have a tremendous amount of respect for Spellman,” said Bishop Feehan coach Bryan Pinabell. “They are a very well-coached team. They do a lot of good things on offense and going into it I knew we would need to have our best defensive game of the year.”The defense answered that call as they pressured Cardinal Spellman’s offensive line all game, including two sacks each for junior Reid Clemente and senior captain Sean Judge.“Judge is a big part of that, but so is Reid,” Pinabell said about the playmaking ability of his defense. “A lot of the sacks that were caused, Reid does not get credit for his pressure. Sean has been getting better week by week.”Judge also added a pick in the second half as well as two tackles fo...

AMESBURY – It was Senior Night in Amesbury as the Redhawks took the field at Landry Stadium against Lynnfield in a huge CAL Small showdown of unbeatens, but it was a junior quarterback from the other sideline who stole the show.Pioneers quarterback Tyler Adamo threw for two touchdowns, both to Joey Cucciniello, and scampered for 24 yards for another as Lynnfield (6-0) stayed perfect with an impressive 24-14 win over Amesbury (4-1).

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California will raise the minimum wage for health care workers to $25 per hour over the next decade under a new law Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Friday.The new law is the second minimum wage increase Newsom has signed. Last month, he signed a law raising the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 per hour.Both wage increases are the result of years of lobbying by labor unions, which have significant sway in the state’s Democratic-dominated Legislature.“Californians saw the courage and commitment of healthcare workers during the pandemic, and now that same fearlessness and commitment to patients is responsible for a historic investment in the workers who make our healthcare system strong and accessible to all,” said Tia Orr, executive director of the Service Employees International Union California.
