Bridge: June 6, 2023

Unless you’re descended from Merlin, you will lose a trick occasionally. “Avoidance” is the technique of losing to the “safe” defender, whose lead to the next trick cannot hurt. You may need to avoid losing to a “dangerous” defender.Against 3NT, West despaired of using his flimsy hearts. He tried to find East’s long suit by leading a low diamond. It seemed to South that West had led fourth-highest from length, so South played low from dummy.East won and shifted to the jack of spades. South took his ace, but East was sure to get back in — with a club or a high diamond — to continue spades, and South lost three spades and five tricks in all.UNLUCKYSouth was unlucky, but his play was wrong. East was “dangerous” — a spade lead from him might cause trouble — and when South ducked the first diamond, he risked losing to East.South should put up the ace of diamonds and start the clubs. He can expect to win f...

An attack on an eight-year-old Marseille supporter with advanced cancer and his family during a match against Ajaccio in Corsica has prompted a complaint filed by the French soccer league.Ajaccio prosecutor Nicolas Septe said in a statement quoted by L’Equipe newspaper on Tuesday that the league joined the case as a civil party in the judicial proceedings. Ajaccio has not lodged a formal complaint but has condemned the attack on the final day of the season on Saturday.The boy, named Kenzo, was invited to Corsica to attend the game and meet Marseille players.“The dream quickly turned into a nightmare when Kenzo and his parents, who had come in the colors of Olympique de Marseille, were shamefully assaulted by individuals who broke into their box,” Ajaccio said in a statement.The club said security staff intervened and escorted Kenzo and his family to the dressing room.“Even the most extreme stupidity cannot excuse such behavior,” Ajaccio said. “The club condemns these unspeakab...

ANÁLISIS | El creciente campo de aspirantes republicanos a la presidencia no está convenciendo a los votantes de las primarias sobre por qué deberían deshacerse de Trump

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:00:07 GMT

(CNN) — El campo presidencial republicano está creciendo casi día tras día, pero ningún candidato ha ofrecido una respuesta efectiva a los votantes de las primarias republicanas en la pregunta más convincente de la carrera: por qué deberían deshacerse de Donald Trump.El exvicepresidente Mike Pence se convirtió en el último candidato en lanzar su aspiración presidencial este lunes al presentar documentos antes de un anuncio oficial y un foro de CNN este miércoles. Se espera que el exgobernador de Nueva Jersey, Chris Christie, se postule este martes. El gobernador de Florida, Ron DeSantis, recientemente concluyó su primera gira por Iowa, y el senador de Carolina del Sur, Tim Scott, se embarcó en su propia precandidatura. La exgobernadora de Carolina del Sur, Nikki Haley, ha estado tras la pista durante semanas, y apareció en un foro en vivo de CNN este domingo en Iowa. E incluso el gobernador de Dakota del Norte, Doug Burgum, a pesar del escaso reconocimiento nacional, parece es...

Collapse of major dam in southern Ukraine triggers emergency as Moscow and Kyiv blame each other

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:00:07 GMT

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The wall of a major dam in a part of southern Ukraine that Moscow controls collapsed Tuesday, triggering floods, endangering Europe’s largest nuclear power plant and threatening drinking water supplies as both sides in the war rushed to evacuate residents and blamed each other for the emergency.Ukraine accused Russian forces of blowing up the Kakhovka dam and hydroelectric power station on the Dnieper River, while Russian officials blamed Ukrainian military strikes in the contested area. It was not possible to verify the claims.The potentially far-reaching environmental and social consequences of the disaster quickly became clear as homes, streets and businesses flooded downstream and emergency crews began evacuations; officials raced to check cooling systems at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant; and authorities expressed concern about supplies of drinking water to the south in Crimea, which Russia illegally annexed in 2014.The dam break added a stunning new ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:00:07 GMT

BRUSSELS — Belgian police on Tuesday conducted searches at the European Parliament offices of two MEPs charged with corruption in the cash-for-influence scandal dubbed Qatargate. According to two witnesses, several police officers conducted searches at the offices of Italian MEP Andrea Cozzolino and Belgian MEP Marc Tarabella around midday on the 15th floor of the Parliament’s Altiero Spinelli building. Eric Van Duyse, spokesperson for Belgium’s federal prosecutor, confirmed the fresh raids had taken place Tuesday in the Parliament.
