Russian para-athletes allowed to compete in Paris 2024 Games under neutral flag

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:46:42 GMT

Russian and Belarusian para-athletes will be able to participate at next year’s Paris 2024 Games “in an individual and neutral capacity” after the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) voted against a full suspension of the two countries’ national Paralympic committees.The decision was slammed by Ukrainian presidential aide Mykhailo Podolyak. “Permitting participation of Russians in the Paralympic Games … prolongs the war,” Podolyak said in a post on social media. The IPC on Friday “partially suspended” the two countries’ national committees due to “breaches of constitutional membership obligations.”Under the decision, athletes will have to perform under a neutral flag and without a national team or emblems, and the national committees won’t be allowed to organize any sport events, the IPC said.The sanctions come two weeks before the International Olympic Committee convenes in Mumbai to discuss the participant of Russia ...

On the brink of a government shutdown, McCarthy pivots to a 45-day plan relying on Democratic help

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:46:42 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — On the brink of a federal government shutdown Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced a dramatic pivot Saturday, trying to push a 45-day funding bill through the House with Democratic help — a move that could keep government open but most certainly risks his job.Republican lawmakers met behind closed doors early in the morning with hours to go before the midnight deadline needed to fund government operations or face a disruptive federal closure. The new approach would leave behind aid to Ukraine that a growing number of Republicans oppose.The House was preparing for a quick vote Saturday on the plan. “Our options are slipping away every minute,” said one senior Republican, Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart of Florida, as he left the private session at the Capitol.With no deal in place before Sunday, federal workers will face furloughs, more than 2 million active-duty and reserve military troops will work without pay and programs and services that Americans rely on from coast to coas...

Anti-abortion groups are at odds on strategies ahead of Ohio vote. It could be a preview for 2024

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:46:42 GMT

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Abortion opponents in Ohio are at odds not only over how to frame their opposition to a reproductive rights initiative on the state’s November ballot but also over their longer-term goals on how severely they would restrict the procedure.The disagreements, roiling the anti-abortion side just six weeks before Election Day, are providing a window into the challenges the wider movement is preparing to navigate next year. Initiatives to protect reproductive rights are expected in multiple states and abortion will be a central issue in candidate races up and down the ballot.Scattershot campaign messaging in Ohio hints at some of the internal conflict among members of the broad anti-abortion coalition aligned against the constitutional amendment that seeks to protect abortion access in Ohio.Early ads played on voters’ fears by warning that the amendment, known as Issue 1, would be a gateway to teenagers getting abortions and gender-transition surgeries wi...
