By JOHN ANTCZAK and CHRISTOPHER WEBER (Associated Press)LOS ANGELES (AP) — A rare tornado touched down in a Los Angeles suburb on Wednesday, ripping roofs off a line of commercial buildings and sending the debris twisting into the sky and across a city block, injuring one person. The National Weather Service sent teams to assess damage in Montebello and later confirmed that a tornado had touched down around 11:20 a.m. “It’s definitely not something that’s common for the region,” said meteorologist Rose Schoenfeld with the weather service. One person was injured and was taken to a hospital in Montebello, said Alex Gillman, a city spokesman. He didn’t know the severity of the injury.Michael Turner could hear the winds get stronger from inside his office at the 33,000-square-foot (3,065-square-meter) warehouse he owns just south of downtown Montebello.

Magic embracing season’s final stretch with play-in hopes intact

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:02:14 GMT

The Orlando Magic are playing for something more meaningful and tangible during the season’s final stretch than they did the previous two campaigns.After Tuesday’s 122-112 win over the Washington Wizards at Amway Center, the Magic (30-43) are still in the race for a spot in the play-in tournament.Their chances of qualifying for the play-in appear bleak with nine games left entering Thursday’s home game vs. the New York Knicks.They entered Wednesday 5 games behind the Chicago Bulls for the No. 10 seed in the Eastern Conference standings. Seeds 7-10 in each conference compete in the play-in tournament for the Nos. 7 and 8 seeds in the playoffs.But still being eligible and having the opportunity to compete for postseason play is motivating the Magic, who were already eliminated from playoffs contention by this time in the previous two seasons.“I do think that for a young team, it helps,” big man Moe Wagner said, “because the long-term road seems so f...

Big jump in migrants crossing Panama’s dangerous Darien Gap

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:02:14 GMT

PANAMA CITY (AP) — Panama’s government said Wednesday that 50,000 migrants crossed the treacherous Darien Gap linking Colombia and Panama in the first two months of 2023, five times more than in the same period last year. For 2022 as a whole, a total of 250,000 migrants made the crossing, with big spikes in September and October, a trend that suggests the number that is likely to increase even more later this year.The increase was particularly noticeable among children and underage migrants. The People’s Defense Office said 9,683 migrants younger than 18 crossed the jungle-clad Darien route in January and February. That was seven times as many minors as crossed in the same period last year. The office said 1,119 of the latest young migrants were not accompanied by adults.The office and U.N. rights organizations said the Darien Gap crossing has now become an established route for migrants heading from South America to the U.S. border. “Year by year the number of migrants crossing thr...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:02:14 GMT

REGINA — The Saskatchewan government projected a $1-billion surplus in its budget Wednesday, with no new taxes and millions in new spending.The budget for the coming fiscal year is fuelled by higher non-renewable resource and tax revenue, which Finance Minister Donna Harpauer said reflects “balanced management.”Harpauer said the government is to use much of the surplus topay down debt, but there is $431 million in new health-care funding.“When we can, I think it’s very important to break down debt,” she told reporters. “It goes to good balance.” The 2023-24 budget projects revenues of $19.7 billion, a nearly 15 per cent increase from last year’s budget.The government expects to spend $18.7 billion, with $7.1 billion earmarked for health care and $4 billion for child care, as well as primary and post-secondary education.Operating debt is expected to fall to $7.5 billion. Gross debt, which includes the debt of Crown corporations, is pegged at $30.9 billion. Critics said the budg...

Senate votes to keep 2001 authorization for war on terror

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:02:14 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to continue congressional authorization for the use of military force in the global fight against terror, turning back an effort by Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul to repeal the 2001 measure.Senators rejected the amendment 86-9 as they are debating a separate repeal of two authorizations of military force in Iraq. There is broad bipartisan support to withdraw that congressional approval granted in 1991 and 2002 for military strikes against Saddam Hussein’s regime. While those two authorizations are rarely used and focused on just one country, Iraq, the 2001 measure gave President George W. Bush broad authority for the invasion of Afghanistan and the fight against terrorism, approving force “against those nations, organizations, or persons” that planned or aided the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. Passed in October 2001, it is still used to this day to justify U.S. military action against terror groups — including al-Q...

The legal question looms as the Biden Administration is working on rules to make the pills more widely av...
