Instead of a triple, Tuchel’s Bayern facing UCL exit

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 00:55:18 GMT

DUESSELDORF, Germany (AP) — When Bayern Munich hired Thomas Tuchel less than three weeks ago, he said he was focused on the chance to win three trophies — the Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League.Now the cup is gone and Bayern will need an improbable comeback to salvage its Champions League campaign after losing 3-0 to Manchester City on Tuesday.Tuchel was adamant the score wasn’t a true reflection of the game and that Bayern had the momentum just before an error from defender Dayot Upamecano allowed City to score its second goal in the 70th minute.“(The Bayern players) felt that this does not feel like a 3-0, but it is a 3-0 and of course it’s a huge, huge task now to turn this around. We will not give up. We are realistic but we will not give up. Football is football and a home match in Germany is a home match in Germany,” Tuchel said.Speaking in German with broadcaster Amazon Prime, Tuchel lavished praise on his team for their commitment and effort and sa...

Florida Senate’s ban on minors at drag shows draws criticism from Democrats, LGBTQ activists

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 00:55:18 GMT

Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and other members of the community are set to speak out around 10 a.m. on Wednesday in opposition to the Florida Senate-passed bill preventing children from attending drag shows.They argue that the language of the bill is too ambiguous, raising concerns that it could lead to a chilling effect on businesses hosting drag shows and even prompt cities in Florida to deny permits for Pride parades.The Republican-controlled Florida Senate passed a controversial bill on Tuesday that would prohibit minors from attending drag shows, even if their parents consent. Under the proposed legislation, organizers and performers could be fined and possibly face criminal charges, including imprisonment, if the performance is deemed “lewd” by authorities.Opponents of the bill argue that it is an infringement on the freedom of expression and would harm the state’s LGBTQ community. The bill will now move to the House for a fi...

ANOTHER DAY OF DOWNPOURS

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 00:55:18 GMT

Happy Wednesday, South Florida!Hopefully everyone has been able to stay dry as South Florida has been soggy since late in the weekend.  After record rainfall in Miami on Monday, heavy rain has continued to fall over portions of South Florida, leaving the ground saturated and the roads flooded. And after relentless rain continued on Monday and Tuesday, this morning South Florida woke up to a few showers, which increased in coverage and intensity as the morning went on while temperatures remained in the 70s – something that hasn’t changed since earlier in the week. Unfortunately, for South Florida today has the potential to be another wet one for our area. There is still plenty of moisture available for rain over South Florida as we have a stalled Front nearby and a developing disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico, which altogether, will help draw in moisture across South Florida and keep rain chances high throughout the day today. Due to the extensive cloud cover, the showers and h...

Belfast must revive power-sharing to thwart ‘enemies of peace,’ Biden tells divided leaders

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 00:55:18 GMT

BELFAST – Northern Ireland must seize the opportunities of the Good Friday Agreement so that “the enemies of peace will not prevail,” U.S. President Joe Biden told local leaders in a speech overshadowed by the region’s failure to sustain a unity government as the 1998 peace deal proposed.Seated side by side in front of Biden were the leaders of Northern Ireland’s five main parties, who had just chatted – briefly and separately – with the president on his first visit since 1991 to this still-divided corner of the United Kingdom.Four of Northern Ireland’s leaders, spanning the spectrum from the Irish republican Sinn Féin to moderate British unionists, want to form a new cross-community government at Stormont overlooking Belfast as the U.S.-brokered peace deal intended.But the pivotal fifth leader, Jeffrey Donaldson of the hard-line Democratic Unionist Party, is refusing to permit this because his party still opposes how the U.K.’s Brexit deal with the European Union treats Northern Ir...

Scottish government to take Westminster to court over stalled gender reforms

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 00:55:18 GMT

LONDON — The Scottish and U.K. governments are heading back to court under Scotland’s new leader Humza Yousaf.Yousaf’s Scottish National Party-led administration announced Wednesday that it will take legal action against the Westminster government’s decision to block SNP reforms aimed at making it easier for people to legally change gender.After the Scottish parliament passed the contentious legislation — championed by former first minister Nicola Sturgeon — the U.K. government used an instrument granted by the devolution settlement for Scotland to effectively thwart the reforms.Using a so-called Section 35 order, the U.K. government’s Scotland Secretary Alister Jack argued that the law could have “an adverse impact on the operation of Great Britain-wide equalities legislation.” The reforms were also strongly opposed by parts of the SNP and some senior lawmakers, who were concerned about the potential impact on single-sex spaces. But Yousaf’...

French actor Gérard Depardieu accused of sexual assault: Report

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 00:55:18 GMT

French actor Gérard Depardieu was accused of sexual violence by 13 women in an article published Tuesday by French investigative news outlet Mediapart. The 74-year-old actor has been under investigation since 2020 over rape and sexual assault charges. A dozen women, some of them on the record, are now accusing him of engaging in unwanted sexual touching and of making inappropriate comments on several occasions during film shoots as well as off set. According to Mediapart, three of them testified to the police but none pressed charges, out of fear that “their word would weigh little against a monument of French cinema.”In a statement from his lawyers shared with the French outlet, Depardieu said he “formally denies all accusations susceptible of coming under criminal law.”A one-time Oscar nominee, Depardieu is one of France’s most prolific actors, having played in over 200 movies.But the actor has been mired in a series of controversies in recent years ...
