Investigative journalists report that a known Russian war criminal is comfortably settling abroad. According to the report of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense at the end of March 2023, representatives of Russian elites are actively trying to negotiate their safe passage to the free world in exchange for leaking anything that they may or may not know about the inner dealings of Russian politics.  "There are different people with different motivations.

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:51:32 GMT

By Isabel Debre and Sam McNeil | Associated PressJERUSALEM — Militants in Lebanon fired a heavy barrage of rockets at Israel on Thursday, the Israeli military said, forcing people across Israel’s northern frontier into bomb shelters, wounding at least two people and ratcheting up regional tensions a day after Israeli police raided Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site.Israel’s military said 34 rockets had been fired across the border, and that 25 were shot down by its Iron Dome aerial defense system. Another five rockets struck Israeli territory and the rest of the strikes were being investigated, security forces added. The army’s response would come after “a situational assessment” and meeting by Israel’s Security Cabinet later Thursday, it said.The unusually large salvo of rockets raised fears of a wider conflagration, as Israel’s bitter enemy, the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah, holds sway over much of southern Lebanon.

Credit to the Warriors. While this season has proven to be quite the challenge, they have made it easy for themselves and us ahead of the final two games of the regular season.If they win Friday in Sacramento and Sunday in Portland, the Dubs will qualify for the real playoffs and avoid the play-in tournament.Still, the situation is messy with the Dubs vying with four other teams for two “true” playoff spots. Let’s sort it all out:Do the Warriors have to win both remaining games to be a top-six seed?In a word: No.But two wins put the Warriors on the most direct path.Following the Clippers’ win over the Lakers and a Pelicans win Wednesday, the Warriors have a 50-50 shot at making the real playoffs (top-six seeds), per PlayoffStatus.com.That qualification could be as either the fifth or sixth seed.And if the Warriors win only one of the final two games, their odds of avoiding the play-in tournament improve to around 60 percent. In that case, Golden State will al...
