Loss to Austria caps a disastrous year for Germany ahead of hosting Euro 2024

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 00:51:28 GMT

DUESSELDORF, Germany (AP) — This was meant to be Germany’s rebuild year ahead of hosting the European Championship. The team is a wreck.With less than seven months until the tournament, the defining moment of Tuesday’s 2-0 loss to Austria came when Leroy Sané was sent off for shoving an opponent. Coming in a friendly with no particular bad blood between the teams, that incident seemed to reflect just how miserable and exasperating it’s become to play for four-time World Cup winner Germany.“The red card for Leroy sums it all up. The frustration, the disappointment in ourselves too,” captain Ilkay Gündogan told broadcaster ZDF, adding there’s a lack of “positive energy” in the team.Coach Julian Nagelsmann — who now has one win from his first four games — picked an attacking lineup with three forward players and two more, Kai Havertz and Julian Brandt, as nominal wing-backs. It didn’t work.Germany created almost no chances in the first half and struggled t...

A pilot flying a single-engine aircraft that careened into a Texas shopping center parking lot on Tuesday has died, Plano Fire Department Lt. Daniel Daly told CNN.The pilot was the only person onboard the small Mooney M20, which crashed north of the Air Park-Dallas Airport in Plano, Texas, around 6 p.m. CT, according to a Federal Aviation Administration spokesperson.

UK Autumn Statement: Jeremy Hunt cuts tax in bid to cheer gloomy Tories

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 00:51:28 GMT

LONDON — Britain’s Chancellor Jeremy Hunt offered voters a tax cut — with one eye on a general election.The U.K.’s top finance minister — whose boss Rishi Sunak is trying to defy dire polling for his governing Conservative Party ahead of an expected election next year — announced a two percentage point cut to the main rate of National Insurance as the final flourish in an “Autumn Statement for growth” unveiled Wednesday.Hunt’s Treasury is betting the personal tax cut — coupled with a boost to the national living wage — will be felt widely, in a move the Conservatives hope will boost the pay packets of ordinary workers and ease voter concerns about the cost of living.He said: “If we want people to get up early in the morning, if we want them to work nights, if we want an economy where people go the extra mile and work hard, then we need to recognize that their hard work benefits us all.”National Insurance is paid by all employees earning more...

Israel-Hamas conflict has gone beyond war to ‘terrorism,’ Pope Francis says

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 00:51:28 GMT

Pope Francis on Wednesday said the situation in the Middle East has moved beyond war to terrorism. The pope’s statement came after he met with two separate delegations, one of Israelis who have relatives held hostage by Hamas, and one of Palestinians with relatives detained in Israeli prisons. Speaking in St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City earlier Wednesday, the head of the Roman Catholic Church said both communities “suffer a lot,” adding that in the Middle East, “we have gone beyond wars” and are at “terrorism,” according to Avvenire, an Italian newspaper affiliated with the Catholic Church.The pontiff has also called for a peace prayer: “Let us pray for the Palestinian people, let us pray for the Israeli people, so that peace may come.” He strongly urged those present not to forget victims of conflicts in other parts of the world, “especially for the dear peoples of Ukraine, the tortured Ukraine.”Pope Francis...

European Parliament kills off landmark pesticide reduction bill

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 00:51:28 GMT

STRASBOURG — The EU’s draft master plan to reduce farmers’ dependence on chemical pesticides is dead after lawmakers in the European Parliament voted Wednesday to reject it.Lawmakers threw out the legislation, the Sustainable Use Regulation (SUR), with 299 votes against, 207 in favor, and 121 abstentions. It’s the end of the road for a key plank of the European Commission’s Green Deal, which after nearly a year and a half of negotiations never made it to the last stage of negotiations in which the EU’s executive, intergovernmental and legislative branches hammer out a final deal.“This is a very dark day for the society as a whole and for the environment — and also for farmers who’d be freed from dictums of the agroindustry,” said Austrian Green MEP Sarah Wiener, Parliament’s lead on the file from the environment committee.The Greens and other left-wing parties ended up voting against the final deal after a concerted push by the E...

This beer is made from recycled shower water

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 00:51:28 GMT

(CNN) — You wouldn’t know if you tasted it, but Epic OneWater Brew is a beer with a peculiar ingredient: it’s made with water recycled from the showers, sinks and washing machines of a residential building.The beer is safe to drink, thanks to a series of treatments that include microfiltration and ultraviolet light, and it is meant to bring attention to the issue of water scarcity and reuse.“Buildings globally use 14% of all potable water,” says Aaron Tartakovsky, CEO and co-founder of Epic Cleantec, the San Francisco-based water treatment company that made the beer in collaboration with a local brewery. “Almost no buildings reuse that water — that’s what we’re trying to change.”The beer is a Kölsch-style ale — a crisp, light-bodied drink originating from Germany — and was made with recycled graywater from Fifteen Fifty, a 40-story luxury apartment building in San Francisco. But it’s not for sale, as regulations prohibit the use of recycled wastewater in commercial beverages. A...
