Hurricane Otis shredded Acapulco, Mexico, last week and tore apart the lives of hundreds of thousands of people ACAPULCO, Mexico -- Estela Sandoval Díaz was huddled in her tiny concrete bathroom, sure these were the final moments of her life, when Hurricane Otis ripped off her tin roof. With it went clothing, savings, furniture, photos and 33 years of the life Sandoval built piece-by-piece on the forgotten fringes of Acapulco, Mexico. Sandoval was among hundreds of thousands of people whose lives were torn apart when the fastest intensifying hurricane on record in the Eastern Pacific shredded the coastal city of 1 million, leaving at least 45 dead. The Category 5 hurricane damaged nearly all of Acapulco's homes, left bodies bobbing along the coastline and much of the city foraging for food. While authorities were hard at work restoring order in Acapulco's tourist center — cutting through trees in front of high-rise hotels and restoring power — the city's poorest, like San...

Diogo Jota said "we are here" for Luis Diaz after he and his Liverpool teammates paid tribute to the Colombian by holding his shirt aloft after scoring the opener in the 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest. Diaz's parents were kidnapped by gunmen on motorbikes, national authorities have confirmed. His mother has been rescued but his father is still missing. The former Porto winger was not included in the Liverpool squad to face Forest on Sunday but a shirt bearing his name and number was unveiled by Jurgen Klopp and handed to Jota after the Portugal international grabbed the first goal of the afternoon. Jota told Liverpool's club media: "It's a situation we can't even imagine if we [have not gone] through that same situation. All we can say is we are here for him and hopefully the things work out well in the end." Klopp added: "Yeah, so how can you make a Football Game really important on a day like this? It's really difficult. I never struggl...

The championship leader’s points lead has been cut from 27 to 18 by Pramac’s Jorge Martin, after the Spaniard romped to his seventh sprint win of the year as Bagnaia was 4.1 seconds adrift in seventh. Bagnaia qualified sixth and says he “missed the start”, which dropped him to ninth on the opening lap before being quickly cast adrift of the podium battle . He moved up to seventh at the end of the fourth tour after Alex Marquez and Zarco went wide at Turn 12 battling each other, but wasn’t then able to advance on this position despite closing to within a tenth of Marco Bezzecchi at the finish. Bagnaia says he felt strong on his bike, but the “useless” Zarco/Marquez battle cost him too much time and cut him off from the podium group ahead. “I missed the start a bit, and then I lost a lot of time with Zarco,” Bagnaia said. “And then with the battle with Johann and Alex Marquez, that in that moment was useless considering the amount of time we had lost...

Survivors of the Category 5 storm that killed at least 27 people and devastated Mexico’s resort city of Acapulco are getting desperate amid a slow government assistance response ACAPULCO, Mexico -- Survivors of the Category 5 storm that killed at least 27 people and devastated Mexico’s resort city of Acapulco are getting desperate amid a slow government response, worrying that the focus will remain on repairing infrastructure for the city’s economic engine of tourism instead of helping the neediest. Despite hopes of incoming aid by many in Acapulco, the coastal city of 1 million once known for its beachside glamour was still in a state of complete chaos by the end of Thursday. Entire walls of beachside high rises were ripped clean off. Hundreds of thousands of homes remained without electricity. People lacking even the most basic resources were emptying stores out of everything from food to toilet paper. Miguel Angel Fong, president of the Mexican Hotel Association told the AP that 80...

Two law enforcement officials tell The Associated Press that at least 10 people have been killed in shootings in Lewiston, Maine, and the death toll is expected to rise LEWISTON, Maine -- At least 10 people were killed Wednesday in shootings in Lewiston, Maine, and the death toll is expected to rise, two law enforcement officials told The Associated Press.

Connecticut's Agriculture Department says 30 cows that survived a truck tipover that killed 14 others on a Connecticut highway this week have gotten a veterinary check and are cleared to complete their journey HARTFORD, Conn. -- Thirty cows that survived a truck rollover that killed 14 others on a Connecticut highway have gotten a veterinary exam and are cleared to complete their journey, the state Agriculture Department said. The surviving Animals are doing well, and their owner is arranging to truck them to their original destination in Ohio, department spokesperson Rebecca Eddy told the Hartford Courant Friday. The cattle were en route from Maine in a tractor-trailer that crashed on a highway exit ramp in Newtown early Thursday. Eight died immediately, and six others had to be euthanized because of their injuries, state police and agriculture officials said. The driver was not seriously injured, firefighters said.

While there weren’t too many notable upsets across the college Football landscape last week, there are always a couple underdog s who steal the spotlight from their opponent and make oddsmakers look silly. We were on 2 of those teams last week — both from Iowa, as the Cyclones and the Hawkeyes each won outright to give us our third 2-1 week in a row. There were a handful of other teams that won outright, as well, despite catching more than a touchdown. Illinois, Pitt, Arizona, Colorado State and Stanford didn’t need the extra points to cash bettors’ tickets. Meanwhile, Arkansas was close to handing Alabama its second home loss of the season — losing by just 3 points despite catching 19. Following our success last week, we are 13-7-1 on these weekly underdog picks – but we aren’t satisfied yet! Let’s find more winners on the Week 8 card, shall we?

An International Atomic Energy Agency team is in Fukushima for the agency's first marine sampling since treated radioactive wastewater started being released from the area's damaged nuclear plant into the sea IWAKI, Japan -- A member of the International Atomic Energy Agency team visiting Fukushima for its first marine sampling since the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant started releasing treated radioactive waste water into the sea said Thursday he does not expect any rise in radiation levels in the fish caught in the regional seas. The IAEA team watched flounder and other popular kinds of fish being caught off the coast earlier Thursday and brought on boats to the Hisanohama port in southern Fukushima for an auction. “I can say that we don’t expect to see any change starting in the fish," said Paul McGinnity, an IAEA marine radiology scientist. A small rise in the levels of tritium, which cannot be removed from the Fukushima Daiichi wastewater by the plant'...

The leader of opposition that won Poland’s parliamentary election, Donald Tusk, appealed to the nation’s president Tuesday for “energetic and fast decisions” so that a new government could be formed quickly WARSAW, Poland -- The opposition leader who won Poland's parliamentary election, Donald Tusk, appealed to the nation's president Tuesday for “energetic and fast decisions” so that a new government could be formed quickly. Three opposition parties that vowed to restore democratic standards in Poland together won over 54% of the votes in the nation’s weekend parliament ary election, putting them in a position to take power, according to a complete ballot count reported Tuesday. Poland's constitution now requires President Andrzej Duda to assess the new political alignment of forces and to appoint a new prime minister who is tasked with forming a government that will need parliament 's approval, all within a set timeframe. In a video statement, Tusk appealed to Duda,...

The International Monetary Fund warns that the world economy has lost momentum from the impact of higher interest rates, the invasion in Ukraine and widening geopolitical rifts The world economy has lost momentum from the impact of higher interest rates, the invasion of Ukraine and widening geopolitical rifts, and it now faces new uncertainty from the war between Israel and Hamas militants, International Monetary Fund warned Tuesday. The IMF said it expects global economic growth to slow to 2.9% in 2024 from an expected 3% this year. The forecast for next year is down a notch from the 3% it predicted back in July. The deceleration comes at a time when the world has yet to fully mend from a devastating but short-lived COVID-19 recession in 2020 and now could see fallout from the Middle East conflict — particularly to oil prices. A series of previous shocks, including the pandemic and Russia’s war in Ukraine, has slashed worldwide economic output by about $3.7 trillion over the past th...
