Shelling kills civilians in Ukraine’s northeast as fears grow of a second Russian takeover

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:09:13 GMT

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian forces struck a cafe in a key front-line area in northeastern Ukraine Saturday, killing two civilians and wounding a third, regional officials said. The shelling near the city of Kupiansk came as U.K. officials said that Russia may try to retake the area, which was captured by Kyiv in a lightning counteroffensive last September after more than six months of Russian occupation. Fierce fighting there earlier this month prompted mandatory evacuations and fears of a second Russian takeover. Russian shells on Saturday morning struck the cafe in Podoly, an eastern suburb of Kupiansk, regional governor Oleh Syniehubov said in a Telegram post. He added that rescue teams were working at the site. U.K. military intelligence on Saturday assessed that Russia may “increase the intensity of its offensive efforts” around Kupiansk and nearby Lyman in an attempt to take pressure off its forces near Bakhmut and in the Zaporizhzhia region, where a Ukrainian counteroffensiv...

A broad genetic test saved one newborn’s life. Research suggests it could help millions of others

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:09:13 GMT

CINCINNATI (AP) — Brynn Schulte nearly died twice when she was a baby, at one point needing emergency surgery for massive bleeding in her brain.No one knew what was wrong until a test that looked at her full genetic blueprint found a rare bleeding disorder called factor XIII deficiency — an early diagnosis that saved her life.“You have this hopeless feeling when you don’t really know what’s going on,” said her father, Mike Schulte. “Casting a wide net really made a world of difference figuring this out quickly and getting her the right care that she needed almost immediately.”Brynn, now 4, got the genetic testing as part of a clinical trial, the results of which were published recently in the Journal of the American Medical Association. “Whole genome” tests are nearly twice as good as narrower tests at unearthing genetic abnormalities that can cause disease in infants — the study found 49% of abnormalities, compared to 27% with more commonly used tests targeting particular types of ...

FIFA suspends Spanish football boss over World Cup kiss

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:09:13 GMT

Global football’s governing body temporarily suspended Spanish football boss Luis Rubiales as it investigates sexual harassment charges that have roiled the sport.Under the suspension announced Saturday, Rubiales may not participate in any activities related to the sport at the national or international level for the next 90 days while FIFA’s disciplinary body looks into allegations that he kissed a player without her consent.Rubiales kissed Spanish forward Jenni Hermoso on the lips as the team celebrated its victory in the Women’s World Cup last Sunday.

Instead, he delivered a defiant speech on Friday casting himself as a victim of “false feminism” and insisted that Hermoso had given her ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:09:13 GMT

Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for the hardline approach to dealing with the Uyghurs in Xinjiang to continue, despite international criticisms.Delivering a major speech on Saturday in Urumqi, the region’s capital city, Xi stressed that “social stability” remained the top priority there, as he highlighted the need for counterterrorism measures and further “Sinocizing” of Islam, the predominant religion for the Uyghurs who make up the majority of the indigenous population in the area.China’s Xinjiang policies have come under international scrutiny in recent years, culminating in a U.N. human rights report that found Beijing to have potentially committed crimes against humanity. The U.S., which along with Europe has sanctioned some Xinjiang officials, has labeled the situation a genocide.Xi, though, said he “recognizes” the Xinjiang policy in his Saturday speech.“[We] have to combine the anti-terrorism and anti-secessionist...
