By KARL RITTER and ELENA BECATOROS (Associated Press)KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A Kyiv court ordered a leading priest to be put under house arrest Saturday after Ukraine’s top security agency said he was suspected of justifying Russian aggression, a criminal offense. It was the latest move in a bitter dispute over a famed Orthodox monastery.Metropolitan Pavel is the abbot of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra monastery, Ukraine’s most revered Orthodox site. He has denied the charges and resisted the authorities’ order to vacate the complex. In a court hearing earlier in the day, the metropolitan said the claim by the Security Service of Ukraine, known as the SBU, that he condoned Russia’s invasion was politically driven.“I have never been on the side of aggression,” Pavel told reporters in the courthouse. “This is my land.”After the court’s ruling, a monitoring bracelet was placed around his ankle, despite his objections that he has diabete...

ROHNERT PARK, Calif. (KRON) -- Two women were arrested in connection with a January fire at a condominium complex in Rohnert Park, according to the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety. VIDEO: Crews respond to car fire near beach in Half Moon Bay The suspects were identified as Danesha Morales, 26, and Breanna Lewis, 36, both of San Francisco. Both women were former tenants of the complex, DPS says. The fire was reported on Jan. 9 around 1 a.m., when DPS received a 911 call about flames in the 1000 block of Golf Course Drive. The first investigation did not reveal what caused the fire, and the resident was not home when the fire initially started, DPS said. However, when the resident returned home, they smelled smoke. The fire was considered suspicious, so an arson investigator from the Community Oriented Problem Solving Team joined the investigation. Authorities determined that the condominium had been vandalized, and evidence showed that the fire could have been set intenti...

Nemechek was second, followed by Josh Berry, Kaz Grala and Cole Custer.Justin Allgaier, one of four drivers contending for the Dash 4 Cash $100,000 bonus, gambled by stopping under green for his last set of tires with about 40 laps to and was cruising through the field.But when another caution came with 28 to go, the rest of the leaders pitted, leaving him on older tires and basically defenseless.

Morris reunion with Mulkey has NCAA title game finale at LSU

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:44:18 GMT

DALLAS (AP) — Alexis Morris will finish her college career playing in a national championship game for Kim Mulkey, the coach who five years ago kicked the standout guard off another team.For Morris, it has been quite a journey of growth and maturation from her freshman season at Baylor and through two other programs before a reunion with Mulkey at LSU that will end on the biggest stage. “Every player just has that coach that’s for them. Coach Mulkey, she’s my coach,” Morris said Saturday, a day before the Tigers play Iowa. “I asked God, if you ever gave the opportunity (to play for her again), I will never waste that. I will literally maximize it, maximize the opportunity, and that’s what you’re witnessing.”Morris had 27 points in the national semifinal game Friday night, when the Tigers beat top-seeded Virginia Tech 79-72 to advance to the school’s first national championship game in basketball — for women or men.Mulkey has known Morris since she was a seventh-grader at a private s...

Man City vs. Liverpool turns toxic again after 4-1 rout

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City’s 4-1 rout of Liverpool on Saturday was marred by more off-field trouble as one of English soccer’s fiercest rivalries turned toxic again. Despite securing a statement win in the race for the Premier League title, the defending champions were left to condemn an apparent attack on their rivals’ team bus and address “hateful” chants from its supporters. Pep Guardiola, meanwhile, was forced to defend his touchline antics, after accusations he showed a lack of respect by celebrating directly in front of Liverpool substitutes Kostas Tsimikas and Arthur Melo.“I was happy and I said how nice our goal was. That’s all,” the City manager said when asked about his actions. “Do you think it’s a lack of respect? Ah OK, sorry. I’m so sorry.” As if those incidents weren’t enough to sour the mood around the club’s Etihad Stadium, Arsenal’s 4-1 win against Leeds later in the day restored the league leaders’ ei...
