AMSTERDAM (AP) — Climate activist Greta Thunberg was briefly interrupted Sunday by a man who approached her on stage after she invited a Palestinian and an Afghan woman to speak at a climate protest in the Dutch capital.Thunberg was speaking to a crowd of tens of thousands when she invited the women onto the stage.“As a climate justice movement, we have to listen to the voices of those who are being oppressed and those who are fighting for freedom and for justice.

Protesters will demonstrate against world leaders, Israel-Hamas war as APEC comes to San Francisco

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 01:28:56 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Activists protesting corporate profits, environmental abuses, poor working conditions and the Israel-Hamas war are among those planning to march in downtown San Francisco on Sunday, united in their opposition to a global trade summit that will draw President Joe Biden and leaders from nearly two dozen countries. Protests are expected throughout this week’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation leaders’ conference, which could draw more than 20,000 attendees, including hundreds of international journalists. The No to APEC coalition, made up of more than 100 grassroots groups, says trade deals struck at summits such as APEC exploit workers and their families. It’s unlikely world leaders will even glimpse the protests given the strict security zones accessible only to attendees at the Moscone Center conference hall and other summit sites. But Suzanne Ali, an organizer for the Palestinian Youth Movement, says the U.S. government needs to be held to account f...

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 01:28:56 GMT

FRANKFURT, Germany — Mac Jones arrived in a new country with a playful, jovial attitude. He might be leaving Germany without his starting job guaranteed.Jones threw one of his worst interceptions of the season while trailing 10-6 with the ball inside the red zone on the Colts’ 15-yard line. His pass to tight end Mike Gesicki was embarrassingly short of the intended target and caught by a falling Colts safety Julian Blackmon for the pick.The Colts drained nearly two-and-a-half minutes off of the clock before punting back to the Patriots, who inserted Bailey Zappe at quarterback. It was the first time Jones was benched this season without the game out of hand.Zappe entered the game and went 26 yards on seven plays before tossing his own game-clinching interception. The Colts kneeled on the ball for the 10-6 win.The Patriots are left without an obvious starter at quarterback over the final seven games of the season.The Patriots’ offense looked jet-lagged after traversing the Atla...
