Browns’ Nick Chubb among several star running backs to discuss devalued position on Zoom call

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:11:06 GMT

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — Cleveland Browns star Nick Chubb was one of several NFL running backs to take part in a Zoom call on Saturday night to discuss the current trend of their position being underpaid and devalued by some teams.Chubb is under contract through next season, but said he has already contemplated his future in a market increasingly becoming less friendly to running backs.Chubb said he was on the call with Saquon Barkley of the New York Giants, Derrick Henry of the Tennessee Titans and Christian McCaffrey of the San Francisco 49ers.Barkley has threatened to sit out training camp in protest after he couldn’t come to terms on a long-term contract last week. The Giants signed him to the $10 million franchise tender for running backs.“There’s really nothing we can do,” Chubb said Sunday following practice. “We’re kind of handcuffed with the situation. Our production hurts us the most. If we go out there and run for 2,000 yards with so many carr...

The collapse of a building in Cameroon has killed 16 people and authorities say the toll could rise

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:11:06 GMT

YAOUNDE, Cameroon (AP) — At least 16 people were killed and nearly three dozen injured Sunday when a four-story building collapsed onto a smaller one in Cameroon’s largest city, authorities said.“The casualty figures may be higher, said Samuel Dieudonne Ivaha Diboua, governor of Cameroon’s Littoral region, where the Douala is located. The city is 30 miles (210 km) west of the capital, Yaounde.The governor said that “rescue workers, assisted by Cameroon government troops, are still digging the wreckage to see if more bodies can be recovered.” The military’s fire brigade has been ordered to join the country’s Red Cross and other rescue services in searching for survivors.Residents living in the Ndogbon neighborhood where the incident took place said they are in shock.“We heard people screaming … and struggled to help some out of the wreckage, but could not do it with our spades and (garden) hoes,” said Gaspard Ndoppo, who lives near the collapsed buildings.Building collaps...

German center-right leader mulls cooperation with far right at municipal level

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:11:06 GMT

The leader of Germany’s center-right opposition, Friedrich Merz, said on Sunday that his party may enter political alliances with the far right at the municipal level — indicating a potentially ground-breaking shift in German politics that immediately attracted sharp criticism.Germany’s established parties have long rejected any cooperation with the far-right, anti-migration and climate change-denying Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), which was founded 10 years ago and has in recent months risen to the second position in national polls.But Merz told public broadcaster ZDF in an interview Sunday evening that his Christian Democratic Union (CDU) may abandon this position, although he argued that this shift only applied at the local level.“Local politics is different from state and federal politics,” Merz said in reaction to recent triumphs of the AfD at the local level in eastern Germany, such as in Sonneberg in Thuringia, where the AfD last month for the first time won a district co...

Ticker: Lawsuit alleges ‘hidden’ fees at Frontier Airlines; Radioactive leak reported near Mississippi River 

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:11:06 GMT

Frontier Airlines markets itself as having the lowest fares, but a new class-action lawsuit alleges the Denver-based carrier makes up the difference with hidden, inflated fees.Florida resident Amira Hamad filed the 21-page lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida in late June, seeking a refund of the fees and $100 million in punitive damages for herself and others.A spokesperson for Frontier said the airline doesn’t comment on pending litigation.Hamad said in the lawsuit that she booked a round-trip flight with Frontier after seeing an “attractive” price online and reading on the company’s website that passengers are allowed one free personal item no larger than 14 inches tall, 18 inches wide and 8 inches deep.According to the lawsuit, when Hamad arrived at her gate, Frontier’s bag sizer was smaller than the dimensions advertised on the website. When her bag wouldn’t fit into the allegedly shrunken bag sizer, the airline charged Hamad $100 for her “oversized...

Italy’s Meloni seeks broad cooperation to stanch flows of migrants to Europe with aid to Africa

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:11:06 GMT

ROME (AP) — Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni on Sunday called for new, more equal relationships between Europe and migrants’ countries of origin and transit as she convened a summit of some 20 nations, EU officials and international organizations aimed at stanching flows of illegal migration.The one-day conference is a Meloni initiative that aims to make Italy a leader in resolving issues impacting Mediterranean nations. Chief among them is migration, as Italy sustains hundreds of new arrivals daily on Europe’s southern border, but also energy as Europe looks to Africa and the Middle East to permanently replace Russian supplies.Human rights groups see the meeting, which includes nations from both northern and sub-Saharan Africa as well as the Middle East, as creating a future roadmap, and worry it will amount to anti-migrant policies that put the onus on Africa to keep Africans out of Europe. Meloni told the opening meeting that Western arrogance had likely stood in the way of s...

Community safety concerns under spotlight in Leslieville following death of bystander

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:11:06 GMT

Pulin Shah feels a sense of unease every time he passes the corner in his Toronto neighbourhood where a mother of two was killed by a stray bullet earlier this month. It could have been him that was caught in the gunfire, he says, or anyone in the Leslieville neighbourhood he calls home.For Shah and several other local residents, the recent death has magnified concerns about what they say has been a rise in violence and drug use around a supervised consumption site in a community centre near the shooting scene. “Ever since the safe injection site has been started, that corner has always been a group of people hanging around there creating unnecessary violence and nuisance,” Shah says.Police have said 44-year-old Karolina Huebner-Makurat, called Caroline by friends and family, was hit by a bullet after a group of three men got into an altercation nearby and two of them fired guns at each other. One man has since been charged and police are searching for two others. Invest...
