Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 11:02:48 GMT

Poland late Saturday halted shipping oil through part of the Druzhba pipeline, which carries oil from Russia to Europe, after a leak was detected, Polish pipeline operator PERN said.The incident comes amid heightened concerns about the security of Europe’s energy infrastructure after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year and following attacks on the Nord Stream gas pipelines that run from Russia to Europe.The leak was detected in the municipality of Chodecz in central Poland on “one of the two lines of the western section through which oil reaches Germany,” PERN said in a statement. The damaged line was “immediately shut down,” it said. The second line is operating without any changes and the incident does not pose a threat to the health of local residents, according to the statement. Supply to Polish refineries is not impacted, PERN said, adding on social media that it is in contact with German partners who receive oil through the pipeline. Germany st...

US Democrats brace for a 2024 Biden-Trump rematch

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 11:02:48 GMT

When Barack Obama sat down with Joe Biden this summer and conveyed his concerns about the strength of Donald Trump going into 2024, the warning was not the first to come from within the president’s own party.Nor would it be the last.The message from one of the Democratic Party’s top voices came with a promise to do everything he can to help Biden stay in the White House. Obama’s concerns may carry more weight as a former president and trusted Biden confidant, but his fears about the formidability of another face-off with Trump reflect a growing sentiment among Democrats.“Donald Trump can win, number one. … Number two, I think that the third parties can take away enough votes to make Donald Trump win. Number three, we cannot underestimate the dissatisfied mood of the public and his ability to mobilize voters,” said Celinda Lake, a 2020 Biden pollster. “I think there’s going to be a very close race. He seems impervious no matter how many indictments. You can run for president from jai...

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 11:02:48 GMT

Everybody has their own Enrique Bradfield Jr. origin story — the moment they realized he was “different” than normal ballplayers.His college coach remembers Bradfield’s speed and competitiveness during his first fall at Vanderbilt. An Orioles scout recalls the outfielder’s ability to change a game during his sophomore year at American Heritage School in Florida. His high school coach will never forget seeing an 11-year-old Bradfield patrolling center field during a travel ball tryout.But perhaps no one knew Bradfield, the Orioles’ first-round pick in the 2023 MLB draft, was “different” before a random server at Carrabba’s Italian Grill in Southeast Florida did about 16 years ago.At the restaurant, a young Bradfield, about 5 years old, was glued to the television screen showing, of course, a baseball game. The broadcast showed a clip of Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson’s iconic three-home run playoff game, and Bradfield, born 14...

NFL notes: Is Bill Belichick now practicing load management at Patriots training camp?

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 11:02:48 GMT

Sprints to start certain practices.Star players coasting through others.Live goal-line periods cracking with colliding helmets and shoulder pads for the first time in two summers.Through 10 practices, Patriots training camp has been an exercise in the familiar — welcome back, Bill O’Brien — and in firsts. Most changes, particularly O’Brien’s return, have been welcome and productive, as the team’s offense springs to life again. But certain scenes have stupefied, even rankled, some ex-players; namely, how Bill Belichick could be content with his best players sitting out a combined dozen practices before the team’s first preseason game.“It’s so weird that Bill would let that happen,” said ex-Pats linebacker Rob Ninkovich of Matthew Judon’s contract “hold-in.”Under Belichick, the rule used to be if you can practice, you practice. No excuses.Now, it depends.New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick walks out onto the field ...

What we’ve learned about Patriots’ rookies so far in training camp

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 11:02:48 GMT

The Patriots have the makings of a special rookie class based on early returns this summer.Internally, the team is optimistic about their 2023 NFL Draft picks while acknowledging it’s still very early in the summer. But the qualities they liked on college tape have been showing up so far in training camp.Here’s what we’ve seen this summer from each member of the Patriots’ 12-man draft class and the team’s three remaining undrafted rookies.CB Christian GonzalezIt would be a shock if the 2023 first-round pick wasn’t a Day 1 starter for the Patriots. Gonzalez has been running with the first team and tested by covering the team’s best wide receivers. Has it been perfect? No, but that’s not to be expected out of rookie. Gonzalez has been beaten. But he’s also made impressive pass breakups over the Patriots’ big, physical wide receivers. And the Patriots’ defensive sideline blew up Thursday when Gonzalez laid the lumber on wide receiver Raleigh Webb for a tackle for loss. In the same prac...

Pope announces World Youth Day to return to Asia in 2027, urges young people ‘not to be afraid’

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 11:02:48 GMT

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Pope Francis told young people on Sunday the Catholic Church needs them and urged them to follow their dreams as he wrapped up World Youth Day in Portugal with a massive open-air Mass and an announcement that the next edition would be held in Asia for the first time in three decades.News that Seoul, South Korea would host World Youth Day in 2027 was a reflection of the continent’s increasing importance to the Catholic Church, given the church is young and growing there whereas it is withering in traditionally Christian lands in Europe. Francis made the announcement at the end of a Mass before an estimated 1.5 million pilgrims, many of whom camped out overnight on the Lisbon field so they could be in place for the grand finale of the Catholic festival. Joining them were some 700 bishops and 10,000 priests, the Vatican said.Francis largely stuck to script Sunday but again skipped much of his prepared homily, continuing the improvisation that has character...
