AIX-LES-BAINS, France (AP) — New Zealand sent an All Blacks jersey signed by all of the players to Namibia center Le Roux Malan after his horrible injury in their Rugby World Cup game.Malan was carted off after breaking and dislocating his right ankle early in Friday night’s Pool A match won 71-3 by the All Blacks. His injury led to an extended break in play in Toulouse after he fell on a rain-soaked field trying to tackle New Zealand’s Beauden Barrett. He immediately put his hand up to call for help, with his right foot bent gruesomely.Malan had successful surgery on Friday night to reset the ankle, Namibia coach Allister Coetzee said on Saturday, and would recover for 3-4 days before going home.Coetzee also revealed the gesture by the All Blacks to give Malan the signed No. 12 jersey, the number he wears for his country.“It says a lot about the sportsmanship of this World Cup, it’s a good gesture from the All Blacks,” Coetzee said. “That is not just saying the et...

Hollywood strikes enter a new phase as daytime shows like Drew Barrymore’s return despite pickets

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:47:59 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — “The Drew Barrymore Show” will begin airing fresh episodes on Monday but a lot of off-air controversy will be clinging to its typically bubbly host.Barrymore — a daughter of a proud acting dynasty — is making new batches of her syndicated talk show despite picketers outside her studio, as daytime TV becomes the latest battlefield in the ongoing Hollywood labor strife.“We’re four months approximately into this strike and it’s not surprising that there are defectors,” said Michael H. LeRoy, a professor of labor and employment relations at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. “I couldn’t predict that this would happen on daytime TV, but everybody has a breaking point in a labor dispute.”“The Drew Barrymore Show,” operating without its three union writers, isn’t the only daytime show to resume. “The View” has returned for its 27th season on ABC, while “Tamron Hall” and “Live With Kelly and Ryan” — neither are governed by writers guild rules — have also been pr...

(CNN) — “Nos gustaría comenzar a abordar nuestro vuelo en este momento”.Tú estás familiarizado con ese amistoso anuncio de embarque del agente de puerta. Desafortunadamente, significa que los próximos 45 minutos de tu vida serán complicados. Y las aerolíneas lo han hecho caótico por diseño, por lo que la gente pagará para tener un proceso de embarque más fácil.Primero, los pasajeros comienzan a amontonarse en la cola de la puerta, lo que provoca un cuello de botella. Aunque te dijiste que te sentarías tranquilamente en la sala de espera del aeropuerto hasta que llamaran a tu zona, no puedes resistirte. Te diriges al scrum.Luego viene la confusión sobre a qué zona se asignan los pasajeros.La Zona 1 o el Grupo A en realidad no significan que lleguemos a abordar primero. La gente hace fila fuera de turno, esperando que llamen a su grupo. Algunos pasajeros cortaron la fila para asegurar espacio para su equipaje de mano en el compartimiento superior. Finalmente, se llam...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:47:59 GMT

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un inspected Russian nuclear-capable strategic bombers and hypersonic missiles on Saturday during a tour of Russia’s eastern region. Kim was shown state-of-the-art bombers and warplanes by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. Cruise missiles and automatic artillery systems were demonstrated to the North Korean leader, according to a statement from the Russian defense ministry. Kim began his visit in Russia by holding a summit on Wednesday with Russian leader Vladimir Putin amid concerns that Moscow is seeking to buy artillery ammunition from North Korea for its invasion of Ukraine, in exchange for military technology. The U.S. warned it “won’t hesitate” to impose more sanctions on the two countries if they conclude a new arms deal. Moscow seeks to deepen ties with Pyongyang against the backdrop of Russia’s aggression in Ukraine, which has isolated the Kremlin and left it hunting for allies — and military equipment — i...

BAR HARBOR, Maine (AP) — No longer bearing the title of hurricane but as strong as one, Lee toppled trees, swamped boats and streets, and cut power to tens of thousands Saturday as it lashed an enormous swath of New England and eastern Canada with high winds, storm surge and torrential rains even with its center still offshore.The storm, now a post-tropical cyclone, was expected to make landfall at or just below hurricane strength around the Maine-New Brunswick border Saturday afternoon, then turn to the northeast and move across Atlantic Canada on Saturday night and Sunday.It flooded coastal roads in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia and inundated boats along the harbor in St. Margarets Bay, fanning anxiety in a region still reeling from severe flooding this summer, said Pam Lovelace, a councilor in Halifax, the capital.“People are exhausted. … It’s so much in such a small time period,” Lovelace said. “From a mental health perspective, we’re asking people to ch...
