ZEIST, Netherlands (AP) — Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong and winger Steven Bergwijn dropped out of the national squad for the team’s opening European Championship qualifier against France, coach Ronald Koeman said Monday.De Jong injured his thigh late in Barcelona’s 2-1 victory over Real Madrid on Sunday. Bergwijn picked up a knee injury in Ajax’s 3-2 loss to Feyenoord.“Of course that is a big loss because he’s an important player for this team,” Koeman said of De Jong. “Because of the way he plays, it will be different if others play in his position. He brings things that not many other players can.”Koeman called up PSV Eindhoven midfielder Joey Veerman to replace De Jong and Borussia Dortmund winger Donyell Malen as a replacement for Bergwijn.Friday’s match at the Stade de France is the first for Koeman in his second stint in charge of the Netherlands.

Street named in honor of fallen MDPD officer in Southwest Miami-Dade

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:12:27 GMT

There was a sign of respect for a fallen South Florida officer who was killed in the line of duty. The street where he grow up in will now bear his name.The location, 162nd Avenue near 56th Street, holds a big meaning for the officer’s family. It is not where Miami-Dade Police officer Cesar Echaverry was killed, but instead, it’s where he lived his life. “Today’s dedication will never ease the pain of his passing,” said Stephanie Vargas, his fiance. “We’ll remember him every single day, and we’ll do everything we can to honor his memory.”A hometown hero was honored in special way. Echaverry was killed in August while chasing an armed robbery suspect. On Monday, 162nd Avenue by his high school, Ferguson High, and also near the neighborhood where he grow up, was named after him. “The street itself is extremely meaningful as it was the main way to his daily routines; gym, church, my house,” Vargas said.

Biden issues first veto, defending Labor Dept. ‘ESG’ rule

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:12:27 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Monday issued the first veto of his presidency as he sought to block Republican-led efforts in Congress to overturn a Labor Department rule allowing retirement plans to consider environmental, social and governance factors when making investment decisions.The Labor Department rule ended a Trump-era ban on managers of retirement plans considering factors such as climate change or pending lawsuits when making investment choices. Because suits and climate change have financial repercussions, administration officials argue that their predecessors were courting possible disaster.Critics say ESG investments allocate money based on political agendas, such as a drive against climate change, rather than on earning the best returns for savers. Republicans in Congress who pushed the measure to overturn the Labor Department’s action argue ESG is just the latest example of the world trying to get “woke.”Only two Democrats in the Senate voted for the...

Macron survives crucial no-confidence vote in parliament

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:12:27 GMT

PARIS — Emmanuel Macron’s government survived a no-confidence vote in the French parliament Monday, after it pushed through a deeply unpopular pensions overhaul without a vote last week, sparking outrage and spontaneous protests across the country.In a high-stakes vote in France’s lower house of parliament, 277 MPs, mostly from the left and the far right, voted in favor of a cross-party motion of no confidence, falling short of the 287 votes needed to topple the government. A second motion, backed only by the far-right National Rally, is not expected to garner enough votes.Speaking ahead of the votes, the centrist MP Charles de Courson, one of the authors of the cross-party motion, accused Macron’s government of lacking “courage” during the parliamentary debates. “You could have submitted [your reform] to a vote, and you probably would have lost it, but that’s the game when you are in a democracy,” he told MPs. The leader of Macron’s R...

Relieving animal shelter in Texas, MSPCA & NEAS take in nearly 50 cats and kittens

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:12:27 GMT

Nearly four dozen cats and kittens are recouping in Massachusetts following a long flight from Texas, with animal rescue staff hoping to put them up for adoption in the near future.Staff from MSPCA-Angell and the Northeast Animal Shelter (NEAS) welcomed 47 felines at the New Bedford Regional Airport over the weekend before bringing them to the Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem.The cats were relocated to New England as part of an effort to relieve the SPCA of Texas, a shelter that officials say is being “overrun with pets during a particularly busy period of animal intake in the South.”“This transport comes at a critical time for the South,” explained Jamie Garabedian, NEAS assistant director of operations. “As the weather gets warmer, shelters will likely see an increase in how many cats and kittens come in, so it’s important to free up some space there, while getting these cats here where we’re confident they’ll find new loving homes.”“Our relocation program brought mor...
