US to provide Ukraine $1.2 billion in long-term security aid

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:59:48 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. will provide $1.2 billion more in long-term military aid to Ukraine to further bolster its air defenses as Russia continues to pound Ukraine with drones, rockets and surface-to-air missiles, U.S. officials said Monday.The aid package is expected to be announced on Tuesday and the money will be provided under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. Unlike the U.S. equipment, weapons and ammunition that are more frequently sent to Ukraine from Pentagon stocks — so they can be delivered quickly — this money is to be spent over the coming months or even years to ensure Ukraine’s future security needs.The assistance initiative will fund HAWK air-defense systems, air-defense munitions and drones for air defense. It will also buy artillery, rockets, satellite imagery assistance, and funding for ongoing maintenance and spare parts for a variety of systems, according to the officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the aid package has not ye...

Turkey’s election gives Greece a migraine

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:59:48 GMT

ATHENS — After Turks themselves, Greeks will be the closest observers of Sunday’s Turkish election and they have few illusions that everything is going to be rosy with the old foe (but fellow NATO member) across the Aegean Sea after the vote, no matter who wins.That’s not to say Greeks wouldn’t be happy to see the back of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who has proved a bête noire. Erdoğan has not only engaged Greek jet fighters in dangerous brinkmanship over the Aegean Sea but has hinted he could snatch a Greek island overnight and even threatened Athens with a missile. His decision in 2020 to reconvert Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia — once Greek-speaking Constantinople’s greatest church — from a museum back into a mosque, as it had been in Ottoman times, delivered a particularly grave cultural wound to Greeks.Opposition leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, a soft-spoken 74-year-old former bureaucrat, would certainly prove an easier diplomatic partner, but many note th...

School bus drivers in Marlboro enter second day of strike after no deal made

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:59:48 GMT

Bus drivers in Marlboro are striking for the second day in a row on Tuesday after their union and their bus company failed to reach an agreement on a new contract over the weekend and no negotiations took place Monday. The bus company, NRT Bus, operates in three other area districts — Marlboro, Westboro, and Framingham. According to Teamsters Local 170, bus drivers in Framingham struck a deal Sunday night to avoid a strike and drivers in Westboro have not planned a strike this week despite having no deal yet.In Marlboro, school is still on during the strike, leaving many parents feeling frustrated as they worked to find another way to get their children to school. “Today is the longest I took to drop them off, there’s so much traffic everywhere,” said Rodney Canales on Monday morning. “This is not safe either.”“We did try, it was hard,” said Tamalla Abbasova. “There were a lot of cars, a lot of traffic, and the kids are frustrate...

Biden to meet with congressional leadership as threat of national debt default looms

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:59:48 GMT

(CNN) — President Joe Biden is set to meet with congressional leadership on Tuesday amid a stalemate in Washington to raise the debt ceiling and avoid a default that would have catastrophic economic consequences.A path forward to raising the debt ceiling remains unclear. House Republicans want to attach spending reductions to a debt ceiling increase and have passed a debt limit plan that does just that. But Biden and congressional Democrats are insisting on passing a clean increase on the debt limit before addressing a framework for spending.During Tuesday’s meeting in the Oval Office at 4 p.m. ET — the first in-person, top-level discussions to take place at the White House in months — the president will be joined by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.Biden has not formally held a meeting with McCarthy since February, when the two l...

Sorting through the Chicago Bears’ pass rusher options as GM Ryan Poles seeks to beef up the defense

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:59:48 GMT

Not only did Jaquan Brisker have the unusual distinction of leading the Chicago Bears in sacks last season as a defensive back, he was the first homegrown player atop that category since the middle of the Lovie Smith era.Brisker’s four sacks paced the league’s last-ranked pass rush in 2022, when the rookie safety became the first player drafted and developed by the Bears to lead them in sacks since Alex Brown had six in 2008.During that 13-year span, Adewale Ogunleye, Israel Idonije, Julius Peppers, Willie Young, Lamarr Houston, Akiem Hicks, Khalil Mack and Robert Quinn took turns spearheading the pass rush, evidence of how reliant the Bears have been on free agency and the trade market at a marquee position.Now general manager Ryan Poles has to sort through potential options to beef up the pass rush like a shopper hitting the mall in search of the perfect gift the day after Christmas. The Bears have essentially admitted they need help at defensive end. The good news is ...

Ravens WR Zay Flowers played ‘every position’ at rookie camp. Here’s how he fits in the offense.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:59:48 GMT

Zay Flowers’ first “Welcome to the NFL” moment came in the form of a message from Baltimore native and former NBA star Carmelo Anthony, who reached out after the Ravens selected the Boston College wide receiver 22nd overall in last month’s draft.“He was like ‘Welcome to flock nation,’” Flowers said. “I was like ‘Carmelo Anthony texted me?’ Then I clicked on his page and there were 7 million followers; I was like, ‘Yeah, that’s him.’”Flowers’ actual debut was much more routine — he joined 23 others at a three-day rookie minicamp Thursday through Saturday at the team’s facility in Owings Mills.In many ways, it was just another couple of practices for a player who’s been having them for most of his life. But it also gave Flowers — and Ravens coaches — a feel for how he might be used in the offense. There were some differences from his days at Boston College.R...
