A weekend storm that pounded the Black Sea region toppled trees, tore down power lines and flooded coastal areas of southern Russia and Ukraine, leaving more than a half-million people without power Monday, officials and media reports said.The Moscow region, meanwhile, was blanketed with snow that piled drifts up to 25 centimeters (almost 10 inches), three times heavier than normal, the Tass news agency said.The storms were part of a weather system that created blizzard-like conditions in Romania, Moldova, Bulgaria and Serbia on Sunday, dumping snow and causing power outages and fatal traffic accidents.Emergency conditions were declared in several regions of the Crimean Peninsula, Tatyana Lyubetskaya, a Russia-installed official at the Crimean environmental monitoring department, told Tass.With strong winds forecast to continue Monday, Crimean officials told people to stay home as government facilities, including schools and hospitals, were closed.The storm was one of the most power...Guardiola praises the late Terry Venables’ ‘incredible’ impact on Barcelona and Spanish soccer

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — There’s a photograph doing the rounds of Pep Guardiola, then a wide-eyed 15-year-old ball boy, looking up to Terry Venables after the grinning English coach had been hoisted onto the shoulders of two Barcelona players at the Camp Nou.Venables had just guided Barcelona to the European Cup final in 1986, adding to his popularity after leading the Catalan team to its first Spanish league title in 11 years the previous season.Guardiola was in Barcelona’s storied La Masia academy at the time and he could sense the impact Venables was having around the club. More than bringing some typically English elements — physicality, strength at set pieces, hard pressing and organization — to the team, Venables also added tactical acumen to Barcelona and to Spanish soccer as a whole. Plenty of excitement, too, as Barcelona finally started to compete again with the likes of Real Madrid, Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad for the league title.Guardiola was in reminiscent mood...Sierra Leone’s leader says most behind the weekend attacks are arrested, but few details are given

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone (AP) — Sierra Leone’s president said most of the leaders of weekend attacks on the nation’s main military barracks and prisons had been arrested, though the capital remained tense on Monday with many streets empty after a 24-hour curfew was relaxed to a dusk-to-dawn lockdown.The attacks early Sunday surprised residents and security forces in the West African nation and raised fears of a possible coup in a troubled region.But “calm has been restored,” President Julius Maada Bio said in a Sunday night address, adding that security operations and investigations continued.Residents in the capital of Freetown were awoken by sounds of heavy gunfire as gunmen tried to break into the key armory in the country’s largest military barracks, located near the presidential villa.The gunmen exchanged fire for several hours with security forces. They also targeted major detention centers – including the central prison holding more than 2,000 inmates – and fr...¿Te has vuelto cuidador de un familiar enfermo o lesionado? 7 consejos para preparar tu hogar

SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — Borislav Mihaylov, the controversial president of the Bulgarian soccer federation and a former national team goalkeeper, resigned Monday following mass protests against him.A new president will be elected at a federation congress next year.Several thousand soccer fans had taken to the streets in recent weeks to demand the resignation of Mihaylov, the goalkeeper on the Bulgaria team that reached the semifinals at the 1994 World Cup.The fury was fueled by the federation’s decision to play a European Championship qualifying match against Hungary on Oct. 16 in an empty stadium, and longer-term unhappiness with the national team’s decline.Additional pressure for the resignation came from the country’s prime minister, Nikolay Denkov, who urged in a letter to FIFA president Gianni Infantino to take “decisive action” by removing Mihaylov as federation leader and installing an interim management.The letter, which was published on the government website, cited “long-ama...Ukraine has a new way to get its grain to the world despite Russia’s threat in the Black Sea

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Grain thunders into rail cars and trucks zip around a storage facility in central Ukraine, a place that growing numbers of companies turned to as they struggled to export their food to people facing hunger around the world.Now, more of the grain is getting unloaded from overcrammed silos and heading to ports on the Black Sea, set to traverse a fledgling shipping corridor launched after Russia pulled out of a U.N.-brokered agreement this summer that allowed food to flow safely from Ukraine during the war.“It was tight, but we kept working … we sought how to accept every ton of products needed for our partners,” facility general director Roman Andreikiv said about the end of the grain deal in July. Ukraine’s new corridor, protected by the military, has now allowed him to “free up warehouse space and increase activity.”Growing numbers of ships are streaming toward Ukraine’s Black Sea ports and heading out loaded with grain, metals and other cargo despite the threat...Smoky and spicy, this Mexican pantry soup takes under 30 minutes
Published Sun, 10 Nov 2024 19:49:03 GMT
In the old-fashioned “fondas” scattered around Mexico, diners usually find only a handful of tables and simple, comforting dishes. A three-course lunch at many of these unpretentious mom-and-pop eateries can cost as little as a few dollars.One of those courses might well be sopa de fideos, a much-loved soup of thin noodles lightly browned in oil, then simmered in a puree of chicken broth with roasted tomato, onion, garlic and jalapeño. The result is a smoky, spicy vegetarian soup that can easily stand on its own as a full meal — and one that comes together with pantry ingredients in less than half an hour.Traditional recipes often call for roasting fresh tomatoes before adding them to the soup, but in this recipe from our book “Cook What You Have,” which draws on pantry staples to assemble easy, weeknight meals, we mimic those flavors with canned fire-roasted tomatoes.If you have only regular canned tomatoes (whole or diced) in the pantry, they’ll work fine but will lack the smoky s...La “hermosa” chilena de Alejandro Garnacho con el Manchester United es “mejor cada vez que la ves”

El pase parecía demasiado profundo para Garnacho, pero el atacante logró ordenar sus pies, saltar en el aire y conectar con un tiro alto que pasó por encima del portero Jordan Pickford hacia la esquina más alejada de la red.“Garnacho”:Por su gol ante Everton en la #PremierLeague pic.twitter.com/PK9IxZM9nN— ¿Por qué es tendencia?
