LOVELAND, Colo (KDVR) -- On a picture perfect late summer day, David Marks jumped into the cold water at Boyd Lake in Loveland. He admits he didn't really know what to expect, hopping on a wakeboard for the first time.But he came away from the experience feeling empowered and ready for more adventure, just two years after losing his left leg following an infection.“It was magical, it was exciting, it was powerful," he said. "It was everything I had hoped it would be.” What is the black Colorado license plate and how much does it cost? He got the chance Saturday thanks to an adaptive wake surfing event put on by Hanger Clinic and Tommy's Boats.Roughly 30 people with physical challenges got the chance to hit the water, as Hanger staff outfitted their prosthetics with water-proof seals. "They’ve been through a lot," said Prosthetist Jeff Retallack. "And a lot of people are trying to get back to what they were doing prior to losing their leg.” FOX31 Newsletters: Sign ...

Keir Starmer: UK needs to ‘wean itself off’ China

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:05:04 GMT

MONTREAL — The man hoping to be Britain’s next prime minister said the U.K. needs to “wean itself off” China “when it comes to trade, commerce and technology.”Speaking to Anne McElvoy, the host of POLITICO’s new Power Play podcast, Labour leader Keir Starmer said: “We need to be absolutely clear about the security of the U.K. and issues like spying and interference which goes on and of course the human rights abuses that are taking place.” “How do we wean ourselves off Chinese influence across the world?” Starmer asked. “There are big questions that progressive governments could face together.” However, he acknowledged that it was impossible to “distance ourselves” completely from China on big-ticket issues like climate change.Attending a conference of like-minded leaders on the center-left in Montreal, Starmer warned that progressive leaders need to be “acutely alert” to the possibility of Donald Trump returning to the White House and taking a more conciliat...

It’s the Biden show as other top leaders skip UN confab

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:05:04 GMT

President Joe Biden will dominate the stage more than usual during next week’s U.N. General Assembly gathering — several other heavyweights aren’t even showing up.The leaders of four of the five countries that hold permanent seats on the U.N. Security Council are expected to skip the annual event, which draws heads of state and government from all over the world.Their absence may have a welcome side effect for Biden: It could boost his administration’s struggling effort to improve America’s image with less-powerful countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia that view the United Nations as a vital forum. It also could help woo those nations away from China and Russia.The heads of two top American rivals — China and Russia — aren’t expected to attend. The leaders of two major American allies — the United Kingdom and France — also aren’t bothering to show. All have different or unknown reasons for not trekking to New York.For many less-wealthy countries, the U.N. forum is a rare oppor...

South Korea’s Yoon warns against Russia-North Korea military cooperation and plans to discuss at UN

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:05:04 GMT

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s president said the international community “will unite more tightly” to cope with deepening military cooperation between Russia and North Korea, as he plans to raise the issue with world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly this week.Worries about Russian-North Korean ties have flared since North Korean leader Kim Jong Un traveled to Russia last week for a summit with President Vladimir Putin and to tour a slew of high-profile military and technology sites. Foreign experts speculate Kim could refill Russia’s ammunition inventory drained in its 18-month war with Ukraine in return for economic aid and technologies to modernize his weapons systems targeting South Korea and the U.S.“Military cooperation between North Korea and Russia is illegal and unjust as it contravenes U.N. Security Council resolutions and various other international sanctions,” South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said in written responses to questions from The Associated Pre...
