Turner’s 2 home runs, 4 hits, a hopeful breakout game for Phillies

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:18:26 GMT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Trea Turner laughed as he pointed out that, no, his mom had not booed him again as she did from home during a game last month even as his numbers dipped more into uh-oh than All-Star territory.Turner stuck with his process even as some Phillies fans grumbled they might have been stuck with a free-agent bust only two months into a $300-million, 11-year free-agent contract.Hang tight.Turner might just be getting started — just as the Phillies are warming up again in June as they did last season when they burst out of an early-season funk and rode the hot streak all the way to the World Series.Turner homered twice for the first time with the Phillies, singled twice and knocked in three runs to lead the Phillies to an 8-3 win over the Detroit Tigers on Monday night.“When he’s getting his pitches, and he’s not missing, it’s pretty fun to watch,” said winner Aaron Nola.Turner bumped his average to .243 — his OPS was 130th in baseball at .684 — and isn...

Brother of gay American attacked on Sydney cliff in 1988 says killer deserves no leniency

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:18:26 GMT

SYDNEY (AP) — A man who admitted killing American mathematician Scott Johnson by punching him from a cliff top at a gay meeting place in Sydney in 1988 deserves no leniency and should face the longest time in jail, the victim’s brother said Tuesday.Scott Phillip White, 52, appeared in the New South Wales state Supreme Court for a sentencing hearing after pleading guilty to manslaughter. White had pleaded guilty to murder last year, but changed his mind and had that conviction overturned on appeal.Johnson’s Boston-based older brother Steve Johnson said White had lost the family’s sympathy by withdrawing his confession to murder.He and his wife Rosemary “felt some compassion because of his generous plea. Today I have no sympathy,” Steve Johnson said in a victim impact statement read out to the court.Any gratitude the family felt was undone after White’s conviction and jail sentence were overturned on appeal, he told reporters after the hearing.“So I am hoping the judge will give him t...

Ukraine accuses Russia of destroying major dam near Kherson, warns of ecological disaster

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:18:26 GMT

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine on Tuesday accused Russian forces of blowing up a major dam and hydroelectric power station in a part of southern Ukraine that Russia controls, sending water gushing from the breached facility and threatening possible massive flooding and what officials called an “ecological disaster.” Ukrainian authorities ordered hundreds of thousands of residents downriver to evacuate.Russian officials countered that the Kakhovka dam was damaged by Ukrainian military strikes in the contested area.The fallout could have broad consequences: Flooding homes, streets and businesses downstream; depleting water levels upstream that help cool Europe’s largest nuclear power plant; and draining supplies of drinking water to the south in Crimea, which Russia illegally annexed.The dam break added a complex new element to Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, now in its 16th month, as Ukrainian forces were widely seen to be moving forward with a long-anticipated counteroffensive in pat...

Iran unveils what it calls a hypersonic missile able to beat air defenses amid tensions with US

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:18:26 GMT

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran claimed on Tuesday that it had created a hypersonic missile capable of traveling at 15 times the speed of sound. The announcement comes as tensions remain high with the United States over Tehran’s nuclear program.Iran’s state television reported that the missile — called Fattah, or “Conqueror” in Farsi — had a range of up to 1,400 kilometers (870 miles).The report also claimed the missile could pass through any regional missile defense system, though it offered no evidence to support the claim. The TV broadcast what appeared to be a model of the missile being unveiled by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, a hard-line paramilitary organization in the Islamic Republic, before President Ebrahim Raisi. The Guard already has a vast arsenal of ballistic missiles.In November, Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh of the Revolutionary Guard claimed that Iran had created a hypersonic missile, without offering evidence to support it. That claim came during the n...

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A car bombing in Afghanistan’s northeast on Tuesday killed a provincial deputy governor and his driver, a local official said. Ten people were also wounded in the blast. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing in the city of Faizabad in Badakhshan province. The deputy governor, Molvi Nisar Ahmad Ahmadi, was wounded in the explosion and died shortly after at a local hospital, according to Badakhshan’s cultural director Moazuddin Ahmadi. A car bombing last December killed Badakhshan’s police chief as he was on his way to work. The regional affiliate of the Islamic State group — known as the Islamic State in Khorasan Province — said at the time that it had carried out that attack. IS said it had parked an explosive-laden car on the road and detonated it when the police chief was close by.The Associated Press

Japan earmarks $107 billion for developing hydrogen energy to cut emissions, stabilize supplies

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:18:26 GMT

TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s government on Tuesday adopted a revision to the country’s plans to use more hydrogen as fuel as part of the effort to reduce carbon emissions. The plan sets an ambitious target to increase the annual supply by six times from the current level to 12 million tons by 2040. It also pledges 15 trillion yen ($107 billion) in funding from both private and public sources to build up hydrogen-related supply chains over the next 15 years. Japan’s decarbonization strategy centers on using so-called clean coal, hydrogen and nuclear energy to bridge its transition to renewable energy. Russia’s war on Ukraine has deepened concerns over energy security and complicated that effort, but other advanced Western nations are pushing for faster adoption of renewable energy, such as solar, wind and geothermal.So far, Japan is relying on hydrogen mainly produced using fossil fuels. Some experts say strategies like commercializing the use of hydrogen and ammonia mainly cater to big busi...
