Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:34:28 GMT

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — A lawyer for one of five former Memphis officers charged with fatally beating Tyre Nichols after a traffic stop said in court documents that investigators found a hallucinogenic drug and stolen credit cards in the Black man’s car when he was pulled over, but authorities have not confirmed the claims. A lawyer for Justin Smith said the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s inventory of Nichols’ car showed he had psilocybin, a substance found in mushrooms, when police stopped him Jan. 7 for an alleged reckless driving violation before he was beaten during a confrontation caught on police video.The lawyer, Martin Zummach, said the ex-officers’ attorneys learned from a review of the inventory that Nichols had stolen credit cards, debit cards and photo identifications in his car. Zummach made the claims in a court filing joining another officer’s request for prosecutors to give them Nichols’ cell phone records as part of the federal...

2 Federal Reserve officials say spike in bond yields may allow central bank to leave rates alone

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:34:28 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two Federal Reserve officials suggested Monday that the central bank may leave interest rates unchanged at its next meeting in three weeks because a surge in long-term interest rates has made borrowing more expensive and could help cool inflation without further action by the Fed. Since late July, the yield, or rate, on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note has jumped from around 4% to about 4.8%, a 16-year high. The run-up in the yield has inflated other borrowing costs and raised the national average 30-year mortgage rate to 7.5%, according to Freddie Mac, a 23-year high. Business borrowing costs have also risen as corporate bond yields have accelerated. Philip Jefferson, vice chair of the Fed’s board and a close ally of Chair Jerome Powell, said in a speech Monday to the National Association for Business Economics that he would “remain cognizant” of the higher bond rates and “keep that in mind as I assess the future path of policy.” Jefferson’s comments fol...

Jalen Hurts finally flashes a breakout run game. The 5-0 Eagles need more of it to stay undefeated

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:34:28 GMT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jalen Hurts had been more grounded this season than he was a year ago, when he was an explosive runner in a breakout season that saw him lead the Eagles to the Super Bowl.The big plays will come, he insisted.Hurts finally broke free Sunday in a win against the Rams.The Eagles led by three in the third quarter when they faced third-and-7 in their own territory. Maybe the Rams would have one more scoring drive in them should they stop the Eagles and force a punt.Hurts instead dropped back, faced pressure and took off toward his right sideline and beat two defenders before bruising his way for a few more yards. Hurts got 17 yards on the run that kept the drive alive and ended with a field goal.That was the Hurts the Eagles had waited for this season.“There’s gonna be games he has to get freaky out there,” coach Nick Sirianni said. “I thought he did a really nice job of making some plays that only he can make.”Hurts passed for 303 yards and a touchdown and rushed for...

DENVER (KDVR) -- Oct. 14 marks the annual solar eclipse, where the moon passes between the sun and Earth creating a "ring of fire." While Denver's not exactly in the total eclipse path, people in the Mile High City still might get a chance to see it.The map below shows the “path of annularity," a track less than 150 miles wide from which the “ring of fire” will be visible in October. MAP: Will you be able to see the 2023 annular eclipse in Colorado? While Denver isn't exactly close to the path of full visibility, physics and astronomy professors at Regis University say Denver will still get to see a partial eclipse.In the mid-morning of the 14th, Denver will see about 85% coverage."It won't be an annular 'ring of fire' like in southwest Colorado, but it should still be an impressive solar event," said Frederick Gray, Ph.D., professor and chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Regis University.

EU U-turns after halting Palestinian funding following Hamas attack

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:34:28 GMT

The EU’s united front on Israel’s war with Hamas is already showing its first cracks.On Monday, EU Enlargement Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi announced the Commission would put €691 million in aid to the Palestinian Authority under review, with all payments immediately suspended. Hours later, with that move causing concern across the bloc, the EU’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, said the Commission “will not suspend the due payments” as “punishing all the Palestinian people” would have “damaged the EU interests in the region and would have only further emboldened terrorists.”Before the U-turn, there were already public disagreements within the Commission over whether to freeze aid to the Palestinian Authority. Meanwhile, Tuesday’s EU foreign affairs ministers meeting risks leading to an internal showdown, EU diplomats and officials warned, given the disagreements between EU countries on the conflict. “Israel-Palestine is one of the m...
