Moscow says Black Sea grain deal is dead

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:29:53 GMT

The Kremlin said on Monday that a U.N.-brokered deal to allow the safe passage of Ukrainian grain exports through the Black Sea is terminated, claiming that Russia’s conditions had not been met.“The Black Sea agreements ceased to be valid today,” Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of Russian President Vladimir Putin, told reporters on Monday, according to Russian news agency Tass.“As the president of the Russian Federation said earlier, the deadline is July 17. Unfortunately, the part relating to Russia in this Black Sea agreement has not been implemented so far. Therefore, its effect is terminated,” Peskov said “As soon as the Russian conditions are met, the Russian Federation will return to the implementation of the deal,” he said.The Black Sea grain initiative, which was first brokered by the United Nations and Turkey a year ago in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, was last renewed on May 17 for two months. Some 33 million metric tons of gr...

All the times Keir Starmer’s top team attacked the two-child welfare cap

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:29:53 GMT

LONDON — Three years is a long time in politics. In February 2020, Keir Starmer vowed to scrap a controversial Conservative social security rule in a bid to “tackle the vast social injustice in our country.” Fast forward to July 2023, and the Labour leader confirmed he is “not changing that policy” — sparking an internal row and drawing ire from some of his colleagues.The Labour leader’s new position on the two-child benefits cap — which prevents British parents from claiming welfare benefits for more than two children — is just the latest in a sequence of U-turns on policies he and his allies once championed, as the party readies for government and points to a grim economic backdrop.One Labour MP — on the party’s “soft left” wing — told POLITICO on Sunday night that they were “livid”.“I’m baffled why we won’t pledge to reverse this … Why aren’t we being consulted? Nobody voted for Keir Starmer to make these decisions...

Rain, Rain, Go Away…

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:29:53 GMT

To say yesterday was a soaker is probably an understatement. Many towns picked up 2-3″ of rain with a few spots seeing well over that. There’s a full list of rain totals where you can find your town (or one nearby) here. Worcester saw 1.46″ of rain yesterday (at the airport) which is a good soaking of rain, but on its own probably just a wet day. What’s remarkable about it, is where that has put us for the month of July.To date, Worcester has seen 9.45″ of rain in July. On average, Worcester sees 3.93″ of rain in the *entire month* of July. More remarkable, Worcester is currently sitting at the 4th wettest July on record with two weeks still to go in the month. The rest of the years on the list below account for all 31 days!We’ll get a break from the rain today, but not a break from the humidity. Temperatures will climb to the upper 80s for many of us with humidity staying in the tropical category, so feels like temperatures will be near 90°...

Lucas: Ukraine’s fight against Russia forcing questions on NATO

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:29:53 GMT

Ask not what NATO can do for you; ask what you can do for NATO.That, in a play on JFK’s famous 1960 presidential inaugural speech, is what President Joe Biden asked of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the Lithuanian NATO summit.You keep fighting the Russians for us, Biden implied, and if you win you can join NATO. If you lose, well, that is a different story. You won’t be around to join.Biden, nevertheless, came out in strong support of Zelenskyy and Ukraine, as long as Zelenskyy keeps on fighting and draining the Russian military dry. He promised that the US and NATO “will not waver” in its support of Ukraine.Speaking before an enthusiastic crowd at Vilnius University following the summit, Biden said,” We are steeled for the struggle ahead. Our unity will not falter, I promise you.”This is the same Biden who, upon the Russian invasion of Ukraine 18 months ago, offered Zelenskyy a plane ride to escape out of Kiev to safety in Poland.“The fight is here,” Zelenskyy said at t...

Skipping out: A Biden pass on NH would make history, and not much difference in the end, expert says

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:29:53 GMT

President Biden could make history during the 2024 presidential cycle, when he may become the first incumbent White House candidate to ever lose a party primary in New Hampshire — and it probably won’t make a bit of difference, according to one historian.With the Granite State and the Democratic National Committee on a political collision course of the liberals’ making, the president’s name may remain off the New Hampshire Democratic primary ballot entirely, effectively handing victory to either Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or Marianne Williamson.In setting this cycle’s primary schedule last February, the DNC and Biden, surely noting the president’s past campaign had turned itself around in South Carolina, sought to shake up the state-by-state voting order and put the Palmetto State ahead of New Hampshire.South Carolina is more representative of the broader Democratic voting base, with more large cities and people of color than the sparsely populated New England state whi...

Russia has halted a wartime deal allowing Ukraine to ship grain. It’s a blow to global food security

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:29:53 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Russia halted a breakthrough wartime deal on Monday that allows grain to flow from Ukraine to countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia where hunger is a growing threat and high food prices have pushed more people into poverty.Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia would suspend the Black Sea Grain Initiative until its demands to get its own food and fertilizer to the world are met. While Russia has complained that restrictions on shipping and insurance have hampered its agricultural exports, it has shipped record amounts of wheat.“When the part of the Black Sea deal related to Russia is implemented, Russia will immediately return to the implementation of the deal,” Peskov said. The suspension marks the end of an accord that the U.N. and Turkey brokered last summer to allow food to leave the Black Sea region after Russia’s invasion of its neighbor worsened a global food crisis. The initiative is credited with helping lower soaring prices of wheat, vegeta...

LONDON (AP) — Elton John testified Monday for the defense in Kevin Spacey ’s sexual assault trial. John appeared remotely from Monaco to testify after his husband, David Furnish, said Spacey only once attended the annual gala the singer held at his Windsor home. One of the alleged victims accused Spacey of aggressively grabbing his crotch while he was driving with him to the ball in 2004 or 2005. Spacey testified that he only attended the event in 2001. Furnish testified earlier that he had checked photographs and that was the only year Spacey attended. John said Spacey spent the night at the house after the ball the one time he attended.Spacey, 63, has pleaded not guilty to a dozen charges that include sexual and indecent assault counts and one count of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.
