Cows that survived Connecticut truck crash are doing fine, get OK to head on to Ohio

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.

There were plenty of players celebrating their international successes as Euro 2024 qualification drew to a close, but for some there was nothing to smile about. 21 nations have already secured their spot at next summer's continental tournament, with all the European big-hitters having booked their plane tickets to Germany. Three more nations will seal their places through the play-offs that commence next March. However, for some it is well and truly the end of the line, including several of the Premier League's top stars. Here are the best Premier League players who definitely won't be at Euro 2024. Alexander Isak Sweden fluffed their lines in qualifying / Michael Campanella/GettyImages It truly was a dismal qualification campaign for Sweden. The 1992 bronze medallists barely put up a fight in Group F, unable to match the quality and consistency of top two Belgium and Austria, and even stumbled to a 3-0 defeat away from home against ten-man Azerbaijan.

Russia claims 'neo-Nazis' were at wake for Ukrainian soldier

Russia’s U.N. ambassador is alleging that “neo-Nazis” and military-age men were at the wake for a Ukrainian soldier in a village café where a missile last week killed 52 people UNITED NATIONS -- Russia’s U.N. ambassador alleged Monday that “neo-Nazis” and military-age men were at the wake for a Ukrainian soldier in a village café where a missile last week killed 52 people, even as Security Council members retorted that Russia was responsible for starting the war and committing crimes. Vassily Nebenzia told a U.N. Security Council meeting called by Ukraine that the soldier was “a high-ranking Ukrainian nationalist,” with “a lot of neo-Nazi accomplices attending.” In Thursday’s strike by a Russian Iskander ballistic missile, the village of Hroza in the northeastern Kharkiv region, lost over 15% of its 300 population. The café, which had reopened for the wake, was obliterated, and whole families perished. Albania’s U.N. Ambassador Ferit Hoxha, this month’s council president who presided a...

Newcastle 2-3 Man City: Player ratings as De Bruyne saves the day from the bench

Image
Manchester City had Kevin De Bruyne to thank as the Belgian made an immediate impact off the bench to salvage a 3-2 win over Newcastle United on Saturday. City lost goalkeeper Ederson to injury inside the opening minutes but bounced back and took the lead through Bernardo Silva, but Newcastle roared ahead with two goals in quick succession from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon towards the end of the first half. With City struggling in their quest for an equaliser, Pep Guardiola turned to De Bruyne, who needed just five touches of the ball to score, and in the dying embers of the game, it was the Belgian's stunning pass which sent Oscar Bobb through on goal to tap home a late winner. How the game unfolded Newcastle had the ball in the back of the net inside two minutes. Alexander Isak squared for Sean Longstaff to tap home but the offside flag quickly halted celebrations and a VAR check confirmed the Swede had gone too soon. Kyle Walker's attempts to block the shot, which would...
