Pakistan’s prime minister says manipulation of coming elections by military is ‘absolutely absurd’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:46:49 GMT

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Pakistan’s interim prime minister said he expects parliamentary elections to take place in the new year, dismissing the possibility that the country’s powerful military would manipulate the results to ensure that jailed former premier Imran Khan’s party doesn’t win.In an interview with The Associated Press Friday, Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar said it’s the Election Commission that is going to conduct the vote, not the military, and Khan appointed the commission’s chief at the time, so “why would he turn in any sense of the word against him?” Pakistan has been in deepening political turmoil since April 2022 when Khan was removed from office following a no-confidence vote in Parliament. He was arrested in early August on corruption charges and sentenced to three years in prison, later suspended though he still remains in jail. The country is also facing one of the worst economic crises in its history and recovering from last summer’s devastating floods that killed at leas...

Egypt, guns, money, power at center of US Senator Menendez indictment

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:46:49 GMT

The indictment of Sen. Bob Menendez on Friday accuses one of the most powerful senators shaping American foreign affairs of using his perch to enrich himself and exploit the complicated relationship between the United States and Egypt.It is a story about guns, money and power that strikes at a fraught sector of American diplomacy.Menendez denies any wrongdoing, saying prosecutors “misrepresented the normal work of a Congressional office” and attacked him and his wife. But if the allegations are proven, they will represent a damning account of how American policy toward an autocratic ally was compromised for years for venal reasons.Egypt receives about $1.3 billion per year in foreign military financing, but by law, tranches of the aid are conditioned upon Egypt’s progress on human rights concerns, as determined by the State Department. Whether Foggy Bottom clears the aid is often subject to a regular tug-of-war between lawmakers, the advocacy community and the executive br...

B.C. frog relocation project aims to better understand conservation practice

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:46:49 GMT

VANCOUVER — Almost every day this summer, University of British Columbia master’s student Megan Winand waded through wetlands with an antenna, following the beeping sounds to find Columbia spotted frogs.Winand is one of the first to study the impacts of mitigation translocation, or the movement of animals from one location to “the next available habitat that is of the same or better value than where they came from.”It is typically done as a conservation effort during construction or development projects, she explained.The practice gained attention ahead of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and Whistler, when the Sea-to-Sky Highway was upgraded andmore than 1,000 amphibians were carefully moved out of the construction zone. Among those animals was the red-legged frog, which is listed as a “species of special concern” in B.C. Frogs are important because they are an “indicator species,” said Winand.“They act as the canary in the coal mine, if you...

The Loop Fantasy Football Update Week 3: Chargers’ Austin Ekeler won’t play against Vikings

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:46:49 GMT

UPDATE: 3:38 a.m. Saturday The news regarding Sunday’s showdown of 0-2 teams in Minneapolis focuses on the running backs.The Chargers’ Austin Ekeler has been ruled out because of his injured ankle. And new Vikings RB Cam Akers is not expected to see much action at all and could spend his first game with Minnesota on the inactive list.We’re guessing this game will be a Justin Herbert-Kirk Cousins air battle, but the running backs that are most fantasy relevant this week are Minnesota’s Alexander Mattison and Los Angeles’ Joshua Kelley.There will be a distinct shortage of rookie quarterbacks this week as both the Colts’ Anthony RIchardson and the Panthers’ Bryce Young have been ruled out. Of greater fantasy concern is the uncertain status of Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow, who could miss Monday night’s Super Bowl LVI rematch against the Rams. You might need to make a tough decision on Burrow tomorrow morning before the early games begin.Players ruled out for Week 3 include Baltimore RB Justi...
