CAIRO (AP) — An airstrike in Sudan’s capital Khartoum on Saturday killed at least 17 people, including five children, health officials said, as fighting continued between rival generals seeking to control the country.The attack was one of the deadliest of the clashes in urban areas of Khartoum and elsewhere in Sudan between the military and a powerful paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces.It was not clear whether the attack was by aircraft or a drone.

Did migrants reject help before deadly Greek wreck, or beg for it? Coast guard, activists disagree

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 23:04:43 GMT

This much is clear: On June 9, an old steel fishing trawler left eastern Libya for Italy, carrying far too many people.As many as 750 men, women and children from Syria, Egypt, Palestine and Pakistan were on board, fleeing hopelessness in their home countries and trying to reach relatives in Europe.Five days later, the trawler sank off the coast of Greece in one of the deepest parts of the Mediterranean Sea. Only 104 people, all men, survived. The remains of 78 people were recovered.There are still more questions than answers about what led up to one of the worst shipwrecks in recent Mediterranean history.Activists, migration experts and opposition politicians have criticized Greek authorities for not acting earlier to rescue the migrants, even though a coast guard vessel escorted the trawler for hours and watched helplessly as it sank.Below is a timeline of events based on reports from Greek authorities, a commercial ship, and activists who said they were in touch with passengers. ...

Enbridge to pay Bad River band $5.1M in Line 5 profits, move pipeline by 2026: judge

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 23:04:43 GMT

WASHINGTON — A U.S. judge has ordered Enbridge Inc. to pay an Indigenous band in Wisconsin US$5.1 million and to remove the Line 5 pipeline from its property within three years. The decision late Friday by district court Judge William Conley stops short of immediately shutting down the controversial cross-border oil and gas line.Conley says a rupture of Line 5 on territory that belongs to the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Chippewa would clearly constitute a public nuisance under federal law. And he affirms that Enbridge has been trespassing on Bad River land since 2013 when certain permits for the 70-year-old pipeline were allowed to lapse. Enbridge has already agreed to relocate the line, an essential energy conduit for much of the U.S. Midwest as well as Ontario and Quebec. But a spokesperson says the company will appeal Conley’s three-year timeline, calling it a “legally flawed” decision that would still require the very shutdown the judge wants to avoid. ...

Participants at Trump’s Jan. 6 rally push false election claims in Virginia legislative campaigns

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 23:04:43 GMT

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Most Republican candidates running for the Virginia legislature this year are centering their pitches to voters on issues such as education, the cost of living and gun rights.But for a small segment of contenders, former President Donald Trump’s false claims of a rigged 2020 election have remained an important campaign selling point heading into Tuesday’s primary.“There’s still an underlying distrust of the election process by Republicans,” said state Sen. Amanda Chase, who is in a three-way primary for a GOP-leaning seat in suburban Richmond.Chase has persistently repeated Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was stolen, once called for martial law to overturn the results and was censured by the state Senate for telling falsehoods and voicing support for those who attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.She is one of at least six Republican candidates for the General Assembly who attended Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally or the subsequent march ...

Indigenous-led protest not backing down to save trees from Metrolinx construction

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 23:04:43 GMT

A sacred fire has continued to burn for the last five months in the Mount Dennis neighbourhood as an Indigenous-led coalition continues to protest the construction of the Eglinton Crosstown West LRT. A plan to elevate a 1.5-kilometre portion of the transit line between Jane Street and Scarlett Road would see almost 1,500 trees cut down. A protest that began on a bitterly cold day back in January has now stretched into June and those fighting to save the trees say they are not about to back down. “It’s been good, there’s been rain and snow and sun but for the most part we are trying to be optimistic here,” said Jamie-Lee Mcquaig, one of those tending the sacred fire at Pearen Park. One by one every tree in jeopardy is being honoured and wrapped in ribbon while tipis have also been erected in strategic locations in an effort to block construction. “I think it has delayed the construction,” Neiland Brissenden of the Stop The Trains in our Parks coalition group t...
