Turkish parliamentary committee delays decision on Sweden’s...
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — The Turkish Parliament’s foreign affairs committee on Thursday opened debate on Sweden’s bid to join NATO, but adjourned the proceedings until a later date without reaching a decision. It was not immediately known when the committee would resume its discussions on Sweden’s accession protocol or when it would reach Parliament’s general assembly for the last stage of the legislative process.

THORNTON, Colo. (AP) — Lars Obendorfer says he was “badly insulted” after he first began offering vegan sausage at his 25 German stands, dubbed “Best Worscht in Town.” He even found himself mediating between customers arguing on social media. “There was downright hostility between the meat eaters and the vegans,” he said. That was six years ago. Today, 15% of the 200,000 sausages each year are plant-based. “It actually tastes like a normal sausage,” customer Yasemin Dural said. Eating...

THORNTON, Colo. (AP) — Lars Obendorfer says he was “badly insulted” after he first began offering vegan sausage at his stands, dubbed “Best Worscht in Town.” He even found himself mediating between customers arguing on social media about what to him was just another menu item. “There was downright hostility between the meat eaters and the vegans,” he said. “And I just couldn’t understand it, and I said, ‘knock off the arguing.’” That was six years ago. Today, his...

Israel says its forces have entered Gaza’s Shifa hospital, the site of a lengthy standoff. The Israeli army had surrounded the facility as part of its ground offensive against Hamas, claiming the militant group conceals military operations in the hospital complex. But with hundreds of patients and medical personnel inside, it had refrained from entering. It said on Wednesday its forces were conducting a “precise” operation against Hamas in a specific area of the complex while taking steps to...

Raiders interim coach Antonio Pierce is committed...
HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — The Raiders had just 33 yards rushing at halftime of Sunday night’s game against the Jets, averaging 2.8 yards per carry. Many coaches would’ve been tempted to try to win the game through the air in the second half, but not Las Vegas’ Antonio Pierce. He doubled down on the running game in the second half, and it’s a major reason the Raiders rallied to beat New York 16-12. Led by Josh Jacobs, the Raiders...

‘From the river to the sea’: Why...
The Jordan River is a winding, 200-plus-mile run on the eastern flank of Israel and the occupied West Bank. The sea is the glittering Mediterranean to its west. But a phrase about the space in between, “from the river to the sea,” has become a battle cry with new power to roil Jews and pro-Palestinian activists in the aftermath of Hamas’ deadly rampage across southern Israel Oct. 7 and Israel’s bombardment of the Gaza Strip. “From the river to...

In an interview with ABC News that aired late Monday, Netanyahu expressed openness to “little pauses” in the fighting to facilitate delivery of aid to Gaza...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Air Force’s vast fields of underground nuclear missile silos are rarely disturbed by more than the occasional wandering cow or floating spy balloon. But the service is now asking Congress to help with another unexpected danger: towering wind turbines, which are growing in number and size and are edging closer to the sites each year. The silos share space on vast private farmlands with the turbines. Whereas the nuclear launch sites are almost undetectable —...

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Once Trae Young and the surging Atlanta Hawks found their offensive rhythm in the second half, there seemed little Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram or the rest of the New Orleans Pelicans could do to keep up. Young had 22 points and 12 assists, and the Hawks defeated New Orleans 123-105 on Saturday night to extend their winning streak to four games. “The second half, I was playing more, just aggressive, and played off my teammates,”...
