Ref’s error casts pall on Bundesliga race; no help from VAR

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:52:13 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — A refereeing error has became the focus of attention in the Bundesliga after it helped Bayern Munich regain the lead from Borussia Dortmund with four rounds of the league remaining.The video assistant referee didn’t intervene to award a penalty in Dortmund’s game on Friday as the team was held to a 1-1 draw with Bochum on Friday night, a result that could have a major impact on the title race. The German soccer federation acknowledged Saturday that referee Sascha Stegemann should have given the penalty “without the need for support from the video assistant.” However, it did not say why there was no support from the video assistant.Stegemann failed to spot the foul in the area in the 65th minute when Bochum’s Danilo Soares plowed into Karim Adeyemi from behind and brought the Dortmund forward down without touching the ball. Soares was already booked and could have been sent off with a second yellow card.“We would probably go in front and you’re playing again...

JPMorgan Chase to buy troubled First Republic Bank

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:52:13 GMT

The FDIC said Monday that JPMorgan Chase has purchased First Republic Bank, the embattled lender that has struggled for weeks after being slammed with massive deposit outflows.Regulators had scrambled all weekend to complete a deal to sell San Francisco-based First Republic to head off any further market turmoil following the collapse last month of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. California’s state bank regulator shut down First Republic overnight and appointed the FDIC as receiver. That cleared the way for a sale to JPMorgan, which will take on all deposits and substantially all assets.First Republic, until this year one of the more envied banking franchises in America with over $200 billion in assets, surpassed SVB to become the second-largest bank failure in U.S. history, behind only Washington Mutual.The bank’s demise is the latest fallout from the stunning fall of SVB, which sparked runs at similar institutions, including Signature. These banks all had an unusually larg...

Hollywood braces for writers strike with two sides far apart

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:52:13 GMT

(CNN) — The clock is ticking toward a costly strike that could shut down production on most television shows, pushing back the return of many programs now set for the fall.Last month, members of the Writers Guild of America voted 98% in favor of going on strike if no new deal is reached before their current contract expires at 11:59 pm PDT Monday. With less than a day left before the deadline, the two sides appear far apart.The talks come at a time both sides are feeling pain. Many of the media and tech companies producing shows that use the writers have seen drops in their stock price, prompting deep cost cutting, including layoffs. But the writers, many of whom can’t support themselves with writing alone, are suffering from reduced job opportunities and the loss of some sources of income due to an industry shift from traditional broadcast and cable programming to streaming services.“The companies have used the transition to...

Man arrested after $3M worth of drugs shipped to Maine restaurant

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:52:13 GMT

AUBURN, Maine (AP) — Employees of a Maine restaurant got a surprise when they opened a large wooden crate that they thought was a shipment of mugs they had recently ordered.Instead, they found a plastic tote that contained what law enforcement suspect is 14 kilograms (31 pounds) of the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl with an estimated street value of $3 million, Auburn police Deputy Chief Timothy Cougle said in a statement Saturday.The tote had a shipping label with the restaurant’s address but the name of someone who did not work there. Employees who opened it saw what they thought looked like drugs, so they contacted police, Cougle said.The crate from Arizona that arrived in the Maine town about 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of Portland was taken to the police department, where a chemical field examination confirmed it contained fentanyl.About an hour later, the man whose name was on the shipment showed up looking for the crate and was arrested, police said.Jeremy Mercie...

Fraught US-Israel ties on display as Knesset reconvenes

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:52:13 GMT

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli lawmakers are reconvening after a month-long parliament recess on Monday, resuming the fight over a contentious government plan to overhaul the judiciary that has split Israelis and drawn concern from Israel’s most important ally, the United States.The tensions will be on full display when the highest-ranking Republican politician in the U.S., House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, addresses the Knesset later Monday.Israel’s government has portrayed McCarthy’s visit as a nod to bipartisan U.S. support for Israel as it marks 75 years since its creation. Critics say the rare honor given to McCarthy — he’s only the second House speaker to address the Knesset, after Newt Gingrich in 1998 — is a pointed jab at Democratic President Joe Biden. Biden has publicly voiced concern about the legal overhaul and, largely because of it, has so far denied Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a typically customary invitation to the White House after his election win late la...
