Russell Wilson said it best.“How clutch is Wil Lutz?” the Broncos quarterback marveled after Sunday’s 19-17 win against Green Bay.Indeed, the Denver kicker played a key role. The starring one, in fact.Lutz, acquired in August via trade from New Orleans, knocked home three field goals in the first half to give the Broncos a 9-0 lead. But he saved his best for last.Lutz, who missed a 55-yarder and an extra point in a one-point Week 1 loss to Las Vegas, drilled a 52-yarder with 3 minutes, 50 seconds, remaining to give the Broncos the lead back for good.“Obviously that’s a big kick,” coach Sean Payton said after the win. “He’s had a handful of them. Chicago was very similar. Proud of him and good to see how he’s hitting it. He’s flushing it well.”Since the pair of Week 1 misses, Lutz has hit 11 straight field goal attempts, including two from 50-plus yards. He’s also made all of his extra points.That’s the kicker Payton trusted he was getting when Denver made the trade after training ca...

Federal judge blocks Colorado from enforcing medication abortion “reversal” ban against Catholic clinic

Colorado can’t prohibit a Catholic health clinic from using a controversial medication abortion “reversal” treatment, a federal judge ruled over the weekend in a lawsuit that seeks to block the first-of-its-kind state law on religious freedom grounds.U.S. District Court Judge Daniel Domenico late Saturday granted Bella Health and Wellness — an independent medical clinic with locations in Englewood and Denver — a narrow preliminary injunction against the state’s ban on a treatment that proponents say can reverse medication abortions.The ruling blocks Colorado from enforcing the prohibition against Bella Health and anyone working “in concert” with the Catholic clinic while its lawsuit proceeds.“The law at issue here runs afoul of… First Amendment principles,” Domenico wrote in his 45-page decision. “Because it does, the State must come forward with a compelling interest of the highest order to maintain the law.

Economy Minister Massa grabs surprise lead over right-wing populist in Argentina’s presidential vote

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:47:53 GMT

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Economy Minister Sergio Massa held the lead Sunday night in early results from Argentina’s presidential election, a surprise reflecting voters’ reluctance to hand the presidency to his chief contender, a right-wing populist who has pledged to drastically overhaul the state.With 86% of the votes counted, Massa had 36.2%, compared to the anti-establishment candidate Javier Milei’s 30.3%, meaning the two were poised to face off in a November second round. Most pre-election polls, which have been notoriously unreliable, gave Milei a slight lead and put Massa in second place. Massa, a leading figure in the center-left administration in power since 2019, appeared to have outperformed predictions by growing support significantly in the critical Buenos Aires province, home to more than one-third of the electorate, said Mariel Fornoni of political consultancy Management & Fit. The highly polarized election will determine whether Argentina will c...

Labour can hit green goals by building in Tory seats, Keir Starmer told

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:47:53 GMT

LONDON — A Labour government would be “less vulnerable” to local protests against new green energy infrastructure like pylons and substations because most of it will need to be built in Conservative areas, opposition leader Keir Starmer has been told.New analysis by the Public First consultancy, shared with POLITICO, finds that the majority of planned green infrastructure projects in the U.K. — often subject to fierce local opposition — will take place in parts of the country represented by Conservative MPs. That could allow a Starmer-led government to avoid vocal “not in my backyard” (NIMBY) campaigns backed by Labour MPs which may otherwise scupper new development.Labour has set a target of decarbonizing Britain’s electricity supply by 2030, five years ahead of the government’s deadline. But achieving either goal will require a huge buildout of renewable power sources and electricity grid infrastructure, including pylons and power lines.The analysis shows that only thr...

British MPs fear backlash to Israel-Hamas war in their own backyard

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:47:53 GMT

LONDON — Britain’s two main political leaders are putting on a united front in the Israel-Hamas war. But beneath the surface, it’s a different story.In the wake of the attacks on Israel just over two weeks ago, politicians have been confronting the consequences not only in the Middle East but in their own backyards.Rishi Sunak and his Labour counterpart, Keir Starmer, struck a note of unity in parliament last week, condemning Hamas and expressing solidarity with Israel — while urging Israel to uphold international law in its response. Beneath the highest level of British politics, however, the conflict is exerting a strain on some communities — and members of parliament are nervous.“In our area, clearly there has been a rise in people’s sense of anxiety,” says David Simmonds, the Conservative MP for Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner in north-west London. It’s a constituency with one of the highest proportions of Jewish residents in the U.K. — and for some, t...

Has Australia solved the China puzzle?  

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:47:53 GMT

SYDNEY — When Mak Sai Ying sailed into Sydney Harbor in February 1818, he wasted little time settling into Australian life. The first recorded Chinese-born settler to arrive in Australia later anglicized his name to John Shying, married an English woman and eventually turned his hand to running that most Aussie of establishments: a good boozer. After a long journey from China’s Guangdong province, the soon-to-be publican would have passed Potts Point, a stop of land jutting into Sydney’s famous harbor that today hosts a reminder of how the relationship between China and Australia is changing. Potts Point is home to the Australian Navy’s Fleet Base East — the main operational base for the navy on the country’s east coast. It was here, in July, that the U.S. Navy commissioned the USS Canberra — the first American warship to be placed into active service in an ally’s territory.The unusual deployment was part of a geopolitical balancing act being carried out by Australia’s Pri...
