DENVER (AP) — Lawyers will deliver closing arguments Tuesday in the trial of the first two police officers to be prosecuted in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain, a Black man who was put in a neck hold and pinned down by officers in a Denver suburb before paramedics injected him with a powerful sedative.McClain was stopped while walking home from a convenience store on a summer night, listening to music and wearing a mask that covered most of his face. A 911 caller reported him as suspicious and the police stop quickly became physical with McClain, a 23-year-old massage therapist seemingly caught off guard, asking to be left alone. He had not been accused of committing any crime. Officers on trial ignored Elijah McClain’s pleas of ‘I can’t breathe,’ prosecutors say Prosecution witnesses testified that the sedative ketamine killed McClain. But prosecutors also offered medical testimony that the restraint of McClain by Aurora officers Randy Roedema and Jason Rosenblatt triggered a ser...Denver weather: Mild again before rain and a cooldown

After winning a general election at the weekend, Luxembourg’s center-right Christian Social People’s Party (CSV) will lead coalition talks with outgoing Prime Minister Xavier Bettel’s liberal Democratic Party (DP), both parties announced late Monday.That puts CSV leader Luc Frieden, a former finance minister and ex-president of industry and services lobby Eurochambres, in pole position to become the country’s next prime minister.“This is obviously a great honor and a great responsibility, as it involves preparing the future of this country. I have accepted this mission,” Frieden said Monday evening after meeting with the Grand Duke of Luxembourg — the country’s head of state — who put him in charge of leading the coalition negotiations.Bettel, who has been appointed by the DP to lead discussions with Frieden, said his party was “ready to take responsibilities in the future government with Luc Frieden as prime minister.”Bettel has said he is willin...NFL power rankings, Week 6: Ravens need to ‘wake up’ soon to get back in contention

Each week of the NFL season, The Baltimore Sun will rank all 32 NFL teams. The rankings will take into account not just weekly performance, injuries and roster depth, but how well each team measures up as Super Bowl contenders.Here are the rankings heading into Week 6:1. San Francisco 49ers (5-0, No. 1 last week)Last week: Win vs. Cowboys, 42-10Up next: at BrownsIt’s time to admit Brock Purdy is a good quarterback. He hardly broke a sweat in destroying the Cowboys’ stout defense, completing 17 of 24 passes for 252 yards and four touchdowns. On a night when Christian McCaffrey averaged just 2.7 yards per carry, Purdy carried the offense to a statement victory. Toss in an incredible defense that makes life miserable for opposing quarterbacks, and this is your undisputed Super Bowl favorite.2.

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 15:06:47 GMT
The Patriots offense is unequivocally, fundamentally, horribly, plainly and irretrievably broken.Ready for this?The Pats have scored three points in their last two games. They haven’t scored a touchdown in 34 straight drives. They’ve set up camp inside the red zone just once since Week 2.More?According to advanced metrics, the Patriots own the NFL’s worst pass offense and its worst rush offense. Mac Jones has been benched in two straight games and allowed Zach Wilson to lap him as a functioning NFL quarterback. Somehow, between the two of them, Jones is now the skittish and erratic ticking turnover bomb.Jones can’t help himself. He’s already thrown as many pick-sixes at Gillette Stadium as Tom Brady did. Not that Jones is solely responsible for the disaster around him.The Patriots’ offensive line allows the most pressure in the league. Their wideouts generate the least amount of separation, per Next Gen Stats, while star running back Rhamondre Ste...Major downtown intersection shutdown this week for TTC streetcar track work

BERLIN (AP) — Several more people suspected of being involved in planning a far-right coup and plotting to kidnap the German health minister were arrested in raids in a number of regions on Tuesday, authorities said.Prosecutors have said the group intended to create “conditions similar to civil war” by using explosives to cause nationwide blackouts, then kidnapping Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, who was a prominent advocate of strict coronavirus measures. There were no indications the group was close to launching a coup. Five people already went on trial in May over the alleged plot by the group calling itself United Patriots. Prosecutors say the group is linked to the Reich Citizens scene, which rejects the legitimacy of Germany’s postwar constitution and has similarities to the Sovereign Citizens and QAnon movements in the United States.Authorities in several German regions carried out raids on Tuesday and detained more people.

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia will move to revoke the ratification of a global nuclear test ban to put itself on par with the United States but will only resume nuclear tests if Washington does it first, a senior Russian diplomat said Tuesday.Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told reporters that Moscow will rescind the ratification of the nuclear test ban treaty to “mirror” the action by the U.S. He added that if the U.S. conducts a nuclear test, “we will be forced to mirror that as well.”The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, adopted in 1996 and known as the CTBT, bans all nuclear explosions anywhere in the world, although it has never fully entered into force. It was signed by both the Russian and U.S. presidents but was never ratified by the U.S. Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that Moscow could consider rescinding its 2000 decision to ratify the bill. Putin noted that while some experts have talked about the need to conduct nuclear tests, he hasn’t yet formed ...Ukraine’s Zelenskyy visits neighboring Romania to discuss security and boost ties
