Broncos stock report: Recent key contributors stumble in loss to Texans

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 19:41:59 GMT

Stock UpRB Javonte WilliamsThe Broncos running back didn’t have major numbers, but it felt like he helped settle the game offensively when things started so poorly for Denver. You just know what you’re going to get from him. He hasn’t consistently caught the ball cleanly but had catches on all three targets Sunday for 24 yards. The Broncos could use some bigger chunks from him down the stretch as he gets further and further off that knee injury, but Williams is going to play a big role for Sean Payton’s team if it really is going to get hot again over the final month of the season.CB Ja’Quan McMillianEverybody took their turn with an issue or two in the secondary early for Denver, but McMillian settled in and made a couple of big plays. The biggest was a fumble that the Broncos looked sure to recover before it scooted away from Jonathon Cooper and others. But the play itself was terrific. Pressure off C.J. Stroud’s front side, bend the edge, track him down from behind and smash the ...

She also took part in a High-Level Conference on Human Rights at the European Parliament, where she was interviewed by our Political Editor Nick Powell.Oleksandra Matviichuk with Nick PoweWhen Russia launched its full invasion of Ukraine nearly two years ago, Oleksandra Matviichuk had already been documenting war crimes for eight years.

France’s erratic policy threatens stability 

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 19:41:59 GMT

France sending weapons to the Middle East, the Caucasus and Central Asia creates an unstable landscape in these regions, while losing every bit of political influence in North and West Africa, writes James Wilson. According to Sébastien Lecornu, French Minister of the Armed Forces, there is "a slow, progressive, but unfortunately certain increase in pressure" in Lebanon because of Iran’s terrorist proxy, Hezbollah, firing missiles and mortars into Israel. And this could escalate and open a second front while Israel is fighting another Iranian proxy, Hamas in Gaza. “In the Near and Middle East, we are dancing on a volcano,” Lecornu added in an interview with Europe 1-CNews.Why, then, did Paris decide to provide the Lebanese army with dozens of VAB armoured personnel carriers (APC)? Lecornu claimed that these vehicles will “assist the Lebanese military in their patrol missions within the country”, so that “it could coordinate well with the UNIFIL”. It is common knowledge that Hezbolla...
