Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:59:23 GMT

(CNN) — La Real Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF) amenazó con emprender acciones legales contra una de las jugadoras estrella del país, Jennifer Hermoso, acusándola de mentir acerca de haber sido besada sin consentimiento por el presidente de la federación, Luis Rubiales.Hermoso dijo este viernes que en ningún momento consintió un beso del máximo dirigente del fútbol del país –en la ceremonia de entrega de medallas el pasado domingo después de que España ganara el Mundial Femenino de Fútbol– y escribió en las redes sociales: “Me sentí vulnerable y víctima de un acto impulsivo, sexista y fuera de lugar sin ningún consentimiento de mi parte”.En un comunicado de este viernes, respondiendo a Hermoso y a la Asociación de Futbolistas Profesionales de España (FUTPRO), la federación defendió a Rubiales, quien calificó el beso de “mutuo” y habló de campañas “injustas” y “falso feminismo”.“La evidencia es concluyente. El presidente no ha mentido”, dijo la Real Federación ...

Prigozhin’s final months were overshadowed by questions about what the Kremlin had in store for him

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:59:23 GMT

TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — Yevgeny Prigozhin smiled as a crowd of adoring fans surrounded his black SUV on June 24 in Russia’s southern city of Rostov-on-Don and cheered him on.“You rock!” fans shouted while taking selfies with the chief of the Wagner mercenary group, who was sitting in the vehicle after nightfall. “You’re a lion! Hang in there!”Prigozhin and his masked, camouflage-clad fighters were leaving the city after a daylong mutiny against the country’s military leadership. President Vladimir Putin decried it as “treason” and vowed punishment, but then cut a deal not to prosecute Prigozhin. Beyond that, his fate looked uncertain.Two months later, on Aug. 23, Prigozhin’s business jet plummeted from the sky and crashed in a field halfway between Moscow and St. Petersburg. Everyone aboard was killed, presumably including Prigozhin and some of his top lieutenants.The two scenes, which unfolded just two months apart, provide bookends to the mystery-shrouded final days of the outspok...

Cause of Kenya’s longest power outage in memory remains unclear as grid suppliers exchange blame

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:59:23 GMT

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The longest nationwide power outage in Kenyans’ memory remained a mystery Sunday as the government-owned power company blamed a failure at Africa’s largest wind farm, which laid the responsibility on the power grid instead.Some of Kenya’s more than 50 million people, including in the capital, Nairobi, saw power return almost 24 hours after the massive outage occurred late Friday. It was an embarrassment to the East African economic hub that has sought to promote itself as a tech center on the continent but remains challenged by alleged mismanagement and poor infrastructure.Hundreds of people were stranded in darkness for hours at Kenya’s main international airport in Nairobi, leading to a rare public apology from a government minister in a country where tourism is a key part of the economy. “This situation WILL NOT happen again,” transport minister, Kipchumba Murkomen, said.The head of the Kenya Airports Authority was fired after a generator serving the main in...

Albert Okwuegbunam sparkles in last audition before Broncos roster cuts. Was it his farewell to Denver?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:59:23 GMT

The preseason hero’s stall in the Denver locker room was vacant as a small convoy of reporters approached, so the Broncos began a chorus summoning him to enjoy his moment with the cameras.“Albert! Albert!” they called out toward the showers in mocking desperation. Eventually, a beaming Albert Okwuegbunam emerged.Were those his last moments to savor as a Denver Bronco?The fourth-year tight end, whose entire career has been spent in Denver, is one of the team’s most ambiguous and intriguing decisions in the final days before the Tuesday deadline for NFL roster cuts. The plot thickened in a stirring preseason finale: He was buzzing in a 41-0 win over the Rams on Saturday night.“O went crazy,” receiver Brandon Johnson said. “He went crazy.”Targeted eight times by backup quarterbacks Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci, Okwuegbunam amassed a team-leading seven receptions and 109 yards, including a first-half touchdown. When Denver devised a scr...

Edinburgh Military Tattoo comes to Belgium

Ever wondered what the famous Edinburgh Military Tattoo is like?The event is performed annually by British Armed Forces, Commonwealth and international military bands, and artistic performance teams in the Scottish capital.Not everyone, though, gets the chance to experience the real thing in Scotland.But the good news is that Belgium is staging its own sort of version of the world-famous Tattoo, albeit on a slightly smaller scale, early next month.A sound and light show, called the “P'Thy Tattoo Show” which is a direct nod to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, is part of this year’s “Celtic Days” now-annual event on 2 and 3 September.This, the second edition of the musical jamboree, takes place over the two days at Thy-le-Chateau in Walcourt, just south of Charleroi.Last year’s show attracted over 6,000 visitors and hopes are high that this year’s version will be just as popular.The guest of honour for the 2023 edition is the Principality of Asturias, a region in the north-west of Spain...

Okwuegbunam, McLaughlin help the Broncos rout the mistake-prone Rams 41-0 in preseason finale

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:59:23 GMT

DENVER (AP) — His teammates serenaded tight end Albert Okwuegbunam after he played the starring role in the Denver Broncos’ 41-0 blowout of the Los Angeles Rams in the teams’ preseason closer Saturday night.“Albert O! Albert O!” they hollered as he emerged from the showers wearing but a towel and a smile.“One thing about this profession is you don’t get to pick when you get opportunities, but you get to pick when you take advantage of them,” Okwuegbunam said after catching seven passes in eight targets for 109 yards and a TD.The capper was a one-handed, 20-yard grab on fourth down that set up Denver’s final TD.“He’s a monster,” said undrafted rookie running back Jaleel McLaughlin, who scored his fourth touchdown of the preseason in his most extensive action yet.Jarrett Stidham directed Denver to scores on its first five drives. Wearing white uniforms at home for the first time in 20 years, the Broncos built a 27-0 halftime lead after lighting up their mammoth...
