Russia struck the city of Pokrovsk in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region with two ballistic missiles overnight, killing at least seven people, local officials said Tuesday.At least 81 people were injured in the strikes, Pavlo Kyrylenko, head of the Donetsk regional military administration, said in a statement.“Among the dead are five civilians, one employee of the State Emergency Service, and one soldier,” Kyrylenko said. Of the injured, four were soldiers, seven were from the State Emergency Service, 31 were police officers and 39 were civilians, including two children. Russia struck Pokrovsk’s city center with two Iskander ballistic missiles, damaging a dozen high-rise buildings “as well as a hotel, a prosecutor’s office, a pension fund, a pharmacy, two shops, two cafes and two civilian cars,” Kyrylenko added. The second missile hit less than 40 minutes after the first, which rescuers were already responding to, according to reports. Accordi...

July world’s hottest month on record, scientists confirm

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:31:38 GMT

Several global climate records fell last month, EU scientists said Tuesday, confirming July as the world’s hottest month in recorded history. The bloc’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) said that July’s global average temperature of 16.95 degrees Celsius was well above the previous 16.63C record set in 2019. At the same time, ocean temperatures hit a new high.Last month also saw the world’s hottest day: Global temperatures on July 6 reached 17.08C — and every day between July 3 and July 31 smashed the previous 16.80C record set in August 2016. The findings validate earlier estimates.“These records have dire consequences for both people and the planet exposed to ever more frequent and intense extreme events,” said Samantha Burgess, C3S deputy director. The high global temperature — part of a steep warming trend driven by the burning of fossil fuels — manifested in severe heat waves across the Northern Hemisphere, from the United States to the Medi...

Law enforcement sources tell 7NEWS that human remains found at a Boston public works facility were the result of a 311 complaint about trash left on a sidewalk.Residents who live on Winchester Street say they walked past the shopping cart that appeared to be full of trash several times before city workers came to retrieve it.Boston police have confirmed a man’s body was found at a nearby processing facility, which was transformed into a crime scene after the discovery was made Monday.“I think it’s completely inhumane, it’s disgusting,” said nearby resident Mary O’Beirne of news of the body being left on the street. “It’s disgraceful.” Boston police say they’ll have more information after an autopsy is completed.

Scattered Strong Storms

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:31:38 GMT

We’re watching an active weather day across southern New England, especially this morning. The first thing I want to point out is an important word in the title — scattered. Not every person or every town will see storms today, but where they do move through, they have the potential to be strong or even severe. The storm risk will come in two waves: one this morning, the second later this evening.Like so many times this summer, our biggest threat today is not necessarily the strong or severe criteria for the storm, but rather the rain. As a reminder, an official severe storm requires wind gusts to 60 mph, hail over 1″ in diameter, or a tornado. There’s a lot of water locked up in our atmosphere this morning and you’ll feel that in the humidity as you step out the door. As the warm front moves through this morning, it will squeeze all of that moisture out of the atmosphere. So any of these storms could produce a quick inch or two of rain, then imagine ge...

Battenfeld: Gagging Trump a risky gambit for Democrats

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:31:38 GMT

Gagging Donald Trump with a court order preventing him from speaking out is a risky gambit for Democrats and prosecutors.The strategy could be a bridge too far – especially if the former president violates the order and is locked up. That happens routinely in dictatorships but not here.Trump – who is back in New Hampshire today – might actually benefit from Democrats trying to put him in prison, confirming his supporters’ worst fears that he is being persecuted by politically motivated judges and prosecutors.If the strategy is to weaken him and run against him they may be mistaken. Saddling him with so much legal baggage, could Trump survive?The Constitution does not prevent someone from running for president after being convicted of crimes. In fact, two presidential candidates, Eugene Debbs in 1920 and Lyndon LaRouche, have run for office while serving jail time, though neither came close to winning.But if Trump wins the election against Joe Biden while jailed, don’t be too surpris...

Recipe: Grilled pears with ice cream, honey and pepper is summer’s best easy dessert

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:31:38 GMT

By Bethany Jean Clement, The Seattle TimesSEATTLE — Too many pears is a happy problem to have. At a sad time recently, someone sent a box of bereavement pears, not something to belabor here except to say that the gift — with one pear, mysteriously deemed special, wrapped in golden foil in the center of the cushioned box — actually helped in a small way, which is kind of all one can hope for at a sad time. We put them in a pretty bowl on the table and admired their curvy beauty; we ate them, the first few at ambient temperature, then chilled as they ripened all at once and it became apparent we had too many pears. It turns out that when it’s hot out, eating a juicy chilled pear while standing in front of the open refrigerator can be a small moment of pure joy, if you let it be.Trying to figure out what to do with the pears as the ripening tumbled made for a nice distraction. We weren’t equal to anything remotely difficult, nor to anything involving a hot oven, which most ...
