Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:42:44 GMT

GOMA, Congo (AP) — At least nine people were killed and a dozen wounded when a bomb went off in a village in northeastern Congo, a local official said Thursday. The bomb exploded in the eastern territory of Rutshuru on Wednesday evening, according to Isaac Kibira, a deputy to the province’s governor. A local self-defense fighter — part of a militia to protect the community — was tinkering with an unidentified object on the ground when it detonated in the village center, instantly killing him and eight civilians nearby. It was not immediately known who planted the bomb, though officials said it was found in an area where armed rebels recently have made incursions. “Emergency first aid was provided by elements of the regional forces of the East African Community deployed in the area,” said Kibira. Local health officials said they admitted the wounded to a clinic for treatment.Fighting in eastern Congo has been simmering for decades as more than 120 groups fight for power, land a...

He featured in all but one of the team’s league fixtures as United finished third to return to the Champions League for the first time since 2021.The squad arrived in the United States on Thursday for a 12-day tour, though Ten Hag will be without midfielder Fred who has remained in England because of personal...

Asgreen holds on to win 18th stage of Tour. Vingegaard protects big lead

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:42:44 GMT

BOURG-EN-BRESSE, France (AP) — Another Danish rider took the limelight at the Tour de France on Thursday as Kasper Asgreen joined an early breakaway and then held on to win the 18th stage in a sprint finish.His countryman Jonas Vingegaard took it easy this time, sitting comfortably in the main pack as he protected his huge overall lead. The defending champion leads two-time Tour winner Tadej Pogačar of Slovenia by 7 minutes, 35 seconds and Britain’s Adam Yates by 10:45 with Sunday’s finale in Paris getting closer. But this was Asgreen’s day and he spread his arms after beating Dutchman Pascal Eenkhoorn and Norwegian Jonas Abrahamsen in their dash to the line. “Obviously the situation of our breakaway was not ideal. I would have preferred to break with seven or eight riders. It’s also one of the final stages of the Tour after really hard weeks,” Asgreen said. “I didn’t rule out the possibility of winning. My breakaway companions were just excellent out there. We all...

Republican and Democratic senators clash over proposed ethics rules for the Supreme Court

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:42:44 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate Judiciary Committee is considering a congressionally imposed ethics code for the Supreme Court, an attempt to respond to recent revelations about justices’ interactions with wealthy donors and others. Republicans are strongly opposed, arguing the ethics bill could “destroy” the high court. The legislation, which the panel is debating on Thursday ahead of an expected vote, would set ethics rules for the court and a process to enforce them, including new standards for transparency around recusals, gifts and potential conflicts of interest. Democrats first pushed the legislation after reports earlier this year that Justice Clarence Thomas participated in luxury vacations and a real estate deal with a top GOP donor — and after Chief Justice John Roberts declined to testify before the committee about the ethics of the court. Since then, news reports also revealed that Justice Samuel Alito had taken a luxury vacation with a GOP donor. And The Associated Press ...
