KORNIDZOR, Armenia — Armenia’s plans to sign up to the International Criminal Court would worsen a growing rift with Moscow, the Kremlin has warned, given the decision would oblige the former Soviet republic to arrest President Vladimir Putin if he were to ever visit the country again.Speaking to reporters Thursday, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said that in light of the ICC warrant for Putin’s arrest on war crimes charges, joining the international legal pact would be seen as “extremely hostile” toward Russia.“Armenia knows very well that we are not parties to the [Rome Statute], and Armenia is well aware of the difficult decision adopted on the basis of this statute,” he cautioned.Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who has sought closer ties with the West in a bid to end dependence on Moscow in recent months, has said he is confident the country’s parliament will ratify the Rome Statute and acknowledge the jurisdiction of the ICC. He has insisted that joining the cou...How JuJu Smith-Schuster feels about role on Patriots through slow start to season

FOXBORO — There were high hopes for wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster this season coming out of training camp, but the first three games of his Patriots career have gone anything but smooth.The veteran wide receiver has 10 catches on 16 targets for just 66 yards. Of 161 qualified pass catchers, Smith-Schuster ranks 127th in yards after catch per attempt, 115th in yards per route run, 111th in average depth of target and 112th in drop rate.He had a smile on his face while talking about his place on the team Wednesday in the Patriots’ locker room, however.“Yeah, it’s going well,” Smith-Schuster said. “Honestly, I feel like the role that I’m playing is pretty big. Doing my part in trying to contribute to this team and help the team as much as possible where I’m needed. I think it’s all coming along. I’ve played in this league for so long that you kind of learn to learn how to adapt and do things that the team needs.

LONDON (AP) — Veteran actor Michael Gambon, who was known to many for his portrayal of Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore in six of the eight “Harry Potter” films, has died, his publicist said Thursday. He was 82.A statement by his family, issued by his publicist, said he died following “a bout of pneumonia.”“We are devastated to announce the loss of Sir Michael Gambon. Beloved husband and father, Michael died peacefully in hospital with his wife Anne and son Fergus at his bedside,” his family said.No matter what role he took on in a career that lasted more than five decades, Gambon was always instantly recognizable by the deep and drawling tones of his voice. He was cast as the much-loved Dumbledore after the death of his predecessor, Richard Harris, in 2002.He once acknowledged not having read any of J. K. Rowling’s best-selling books, arguing that it was safer to follow the script rather than be too influenced by the books. That didn't prevent him from embodying the spirit of P...Slightly fewer number of Americans apply for jobless benefits as layoffs remain rare
Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 09:00:00 GMT
U.S. applications for unemployment benefits inched up modestly this week after reaching their lowest level in eight months the previous week, as the labor market continues to defy the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes meant to cool it.Filings for jobless claims rose by 2,000 to 204,000 for the week ending Sept. 23, the Labor Department reported Thursday. Last week’s figure was the lowest since January.Jobless claim applications are seen as representative of the number of layoffs in a given week.The four-week moving average of claims, which quiets some of the week-to-week noise, fell by 6,250 to 211,000.Though the Federal Reserve opted to leave its benchmark borrowing rate alone last week, it is well into the second year of its battle to squelch four-decade high inflation. Part of the Fed’s goal in that fight has been to cool the labor market and bring down wages, but so far that hasn’t happened.The whopping 11 interest rate hikes since March of last year ...NY Attorney General Letitia James has a long history of fighting Trump and other powerful targets

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Letitia James fixated on Donald Trump as she campaigned for New York attorney general, branding the then-president a “con man” and ″carnival barker” and pledging to shine a “bright light into every dark corner of his real estate dealings.”Five years later, James is on the verge of disrupting Trump’s real estate empire after a judge ruled Tuesday that he defrauded banks, insurers and others by exaggerating the value of assets on paperwork used for deals and securing loans.The ruling shifts control of some of Trump’s companies to a court-appointed receiver, meaning he could lose control of prized properties like Trump Tower, a sprawling suburban estate, office buildings and more.For James, a Democrat, it’s just the latest joust with a powerful foe.Here’s a look at her political background and some of her biggest cases:LAWSUITS AGAINST TRUMPJames began investigating Trump just about as soon as she took office as attorney general in 2019.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy grew at a 2.1% annual pace from April through June, extending its sturdy performance in the face of higher interest rates, the government said Thursday, leaving its previous estimate unchanged.The second-quarter expansion of the nation’s gross domestic product — its total output of goods and services — marked a modest deceleration from revised 2.2% annual growth from January through March. Consumer spending, business investment and state and local governments drove the second-quarter economic expansion.The economy and job market have shown surprising resilience even though the Federal Reserve has dramatically raised interest rates to combat inflation, which last year hit a four-decade high. The Fed has raised its benchmark rate 11 times since mid-March 2022, leading to concerns that ever-higher borrowing rates will trigger a recession. So far, though, inflation has eased without causing much economic pain, leading to hope the central bank can...Latest news
