GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Nearly an hour after his first NFL win as a starter, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Joshua Dobbs walked through the locker room with the game ball still securely tucked in his left arm.He even brought it to the postgame news conference, finding a place for it on the lectern.“It feels good when you win — you gotta enjoy them,” Dobbs said. “They’re difficult to come by in the NFL.”Dobbs knows the sentiment more than most. The 28-year-old — in his seventh NFL season — broke through for his first win by throwing for 189 yards and a touchdown in a 28-16 win over the mistake-prone Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The veteran backup was 0-4 as a starter before Sunday, losing twice last season with the Titans and twice more with the Cardinals this year.Dobbs completed 17 of 21 passes while James Conner and Rondale Moore both ran for a touchdown. Jonathan Gannon got his first win as Arizona’s coach as the franchise snapped a six-game home skid that lasted nearly a ...

What Labour’s foreign policy should look like

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 05:20:18 GMT

Nicholas Westcott is a professor of Practice in Diplomacy at SOAS University of London.British foreign policy is in a sorry state.In effect, the country doesn’t have one, and a Labour government would need to remedy that — swiftly.Along these lines, shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy has set out an encouraging prospectus in a recent Fabian pamphlet, entitled Britain Reconnected. And reconnecting is, indeed, at the heart of what needs to be done. But the strategy of “how” needs more thought.Since Brexit, for all the integrated reviews — original or refreshed — pivots to Asia and “Global Britain” slogans, the British government has been adrift, unmoored and increasingly marginalized. Prime ministers have postured at the G7, the G20, the U.N. (except Rishi Sunak) and at Commonwealth meetings, and they have loudly broadcast their undying commitment to Ukraine. But support for Ukraine doesn’t make a foreign policy. And the result is that Britain is becoming increasingly irrelevan...

Offered citizenship and a better life, Cuban ‘mercenaries’ join the fight against Ukraine

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 05:20:18 GMT

What César really wanted was to get out of Cuba. A bartender struggling to make ends meet in Havana, he tried last year to reach Miami in a rickety boat but was forced to abandon the attempt when he was intercepted by the U.S. Coast Guard.He’s now preparing a second escape attempt: with a direct flight to Moscow. His ticket has been paid for by a Russian recruiter but it comes with a hefty price tag nonetheless: As part of the deal, he will have to join the Russian army and fight in Ukraine.“If this is the sacrifice I have to make for my family to get ahead, I’ll do it,”  said César, who turned 19 this year and whose name has been changed to protect his identity.“You can be a nuclear physicist and still die of hunger here,” he said. “With my current salary I can barely buy basic things like toilet paper or milk.” He said he hoped he would be allowed to work as a paramedic.The news of Cuban fighters in Ukraine splashed across global headlines earlier this month when Havana annou...

Tentative deal reached to end Hollywood writer's strike

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 05:20:18 GMT

Hollywood studios and screenwriters have reached a tentative deal to end the nearly five-month-long strike that has largely shuttered production of film and television in the world's entertainment hub. Negotiation meetings between the sides have made considerable progress in recent weeks, which may be attributed to the presence of four top executives: Warner Bros. Discovery’s David Zaslav, Disney’s Bob Iger, NBCUniversal’s Donna Langley and Netflix’s Ted Sarandos.Nearly 20,000 writers have been without work or pay since May 2 as negotiations between the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents studios, halted over the summer. In a statement posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, Sunday night, officials with the WGA said:"The WGA and AMPTP have reached a tentative agreement. This was made possible by the enduring solidarity of WGA members and extraordinary support of our union siblings who stood with us for over 146 days....

North Korea calls South’s leader a ‘guy with a trash-like brain’ as it slams his UN speech

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea on Monday called South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol “a guy with a trash-like brain” and “a diplomatic idiot” as it blasted him for using a U.N. speech to issue a warning over the North’s deepening military ties with Russia.In a speech at the U.N. General Assembly last week, Yoon said South Korea “will not sit idly by” if North Korea and Russia agree to weapons deals that would pose a threat to the South.North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s trip to Russia earlier this month to meet President Vladimir Putin and visit key military sites raised international concern about a possible push by North Korea to receive sophisticated nuclear and weapons technologies in return for replenishing Russia’s conventional arms inventory depleted by its war with Ukraine.“Puppet traitor Yoon Suk Yeol, even at the 78th U.N. General Assembly, malignantly slandered the relations between (North Korea) and Russia,” the North’s official Korean Central News Agen...
