GENEVA (AP) — A video review official has been removed from his Champions League game on Wednesday, one day after having a key role in a disputed decision to award Paris Saint-Germain a stoppage-time penalty for handball against Newcastle which contradicted UEFA’s own advice to referees.The VAR specialist from Poland, Tomasz Kwiatkowski, is no longer listed to work at the Real Sociedad-Salzburg game and has been replaced by a German match official.In Paris on Tuesday, Kylian Mbappé scored in the eighth minute of stoppage time to salvage a 1-1 draw after a ball struck Newcastle defender Tino Livramento in the chest and then deflected off his arm, and a penalty was awarded by Polish referee Szymon Marciniak following a VAR review.Marciniak refereed the Champions League final last season and the 2022 World Cup final with Kwiatkowski in his team.

US life expectancy rose last year, but it remains below its pre-pandemic level

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:32:46 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. life expectancy rose last year — by more than a year — but still isn’t close to what it was before the COVID-19 pandemic.The 2022 rise was mainly due to the waning pandemic, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention researchers said Wednesday. But even with the large increase, U.S. life expectancy is only back to 77 years, 6 months — about what it was two decades ago.Life expectancy is an estimate of the average number of years a baby born in a given year might expect to live, assuming the death rates at that time hold constant. The snapshot statistic is considered one of the most important measures of the health of the U.S. population. The 2022 calculations released Wednesday are provisional, and could change a little as the math is finalized.For decades, U.S. life expectancy rose a little nearly every year. But about a decade ago, the trend flattened and even declined some years — a stall blamed largely on overdose deaths and suicides.Then came the coro...

We goofed it up, you have to fix it.’ So I think here too, the direction of travel — my personal opinion — is clear.”Von der Leyen described the Windsor Agreement on Northern Ireland, struck between Brussels and London earlier this year, as “a new beginning for old friends.”Polling consistently shows a majority of voters in the U.K. would back rejoining the EU if asked to do so at a referendum.

Chilly Wind Again

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:32:46 GMT

A busy breeze and cold air is not exactly the combination we like to see, but at least we have the sunshine and dry air for the morning commute. As you head out the door, plan on temps in the mid 20s to near 30 and winds gusting to around 20-25mph. The combination of the wind and cold air will produce wind chills in the teens and low 20s this morning, so certainly a bite to the air heading out to the bus stop and waiting to head to school or head to work. Highs recover this afternoon into the mid to upper 30s with the winds still gusting 20-25mph. Busy breeze, but not quite as strong as yesterday. Tomorrow, we’ll bounce back into the mid to upper 40s as we stay dry. Friday is even milder, with highs in the lower 50s. However, some late afternoon/evening wet weather will slide on through, producing a damp overnight. Saturday and Sunday are mostly cloudy and seasonable with highs in the 40s. There may be a few sprinkles around Saturday and some showers again later Sunday into Mo...
