Turkey’s Erdoğan plays down Sweden’s NATO hopes

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:58:36 GMT

Sweden has still not won Turkey’s support to join NATO ahead of the military alliance’s summit in Vilnius next month, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was quoted as saying on Wednesday.“Sweden’s expectations don’t mean we’ll follow them,” Erdoğan said during a trip to Azerbaijan, according to Bloomberg and Turkish media, referring to Stockholm’s hopes of becoming a NATO member before the Vilnius summit.Spurred by Russia’s war on Ukraine and the rising threat coming from Moscow, Sweden and Finland officially asked to join NATO last year, and later committed to joining the alliance together.But Sweden’s candidacy has not yet been approved — unlike its eastern neighbor’s. Turkey has been dragging its feet on signing off on its bid, citing concerns about Stockholm’s support for Kurdish groups which Ankara considers to be terrorist entities — including the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which has a following in Sweden but is banned in Tu...

PMQs scorecard: Sunak and Starmer bicker about Boris as everyone melts

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:58:36 GMT

Prime minister’s questions: a shouty, jeery, very occasionally useful advert for British politics. Here’s what you need to know from today’s session in POLITICO’s weekly run-through.What they sparred about: It’s Boris Johnson’s world — we just live in it. Tory rows over the former prime minister’s blocked list of rewards for allies took center stage at this week’s PMQs — with both Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer trying to show that they care about more important issues than whether Nadine Dorries gets to sit in the House of Lords. They both managed to talk about it loads regardless. What Westminster is on about: Starmer opened with the — not entirely unreasonable — question: With rising bills, food prices and mortgage rates across the U.K., why is the Tory Party “arguing about who gets a peerage?” Sunak — also not entirely unreasonably — pointed out that resignation honors lists have a long precedent and that Labour had its fair share of honors...

That equation added up to a loss for the Chicago White Sox.Starter Lance Lynn allowed two two-run homers in the first inning in a 5-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in front of 45,561 on Tuesday at Dodger Stadium.“It’s kind of how it’s going right now,” Lynn said. “Two pitches cost you four runs in the first inning, and then after that it’s just a battle. You put your team in a hole early. All and all, my stuff feels pretty good. I have to figure out how to have productive outings because this isn’t going to work.”It was the third straight loss for the Sox, who dropped back to 10 games under .500 (29-39) and 5 1/2 games out of first in the American League Central.Lynn allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits with six strikeouts and two walks in five-plus innings.“I know he gave up those four runs in the first inning, but I really thought he threw the ball good,” Sox manager Pedro Grif...

The team is wrapping up its offseason program with two more practices scheduled Wednesday and Thursday.As head coach Matt Eberflus continues shaping his team in advance of training camp, here are four things we learned Tuesday at Halas Hall.1. Receiver Chase Claypool is dealing with “a few things” health-wise that are preventing him from practicing, Eberflus said.Yes, you read that correctly. “A few things.” As in plural. Claypool has been off the practice field the past three weeks with what was originally described as an unspecified soft-tissue injury. Now, per Eberflus, there is more than one thing to keep an eye on. And Claypool’s missed practice time is significant as he tries to take a big leap forward in his first full season with the Bears, develop/ing timing and building rapport with quarterback Justin Fields.“Training cam...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:58:36 GMT

With Anthony Volpe struggling at the plate, the Yankees’ rookie shortstop decided to spend Monday’s off day surrounded by friendly faces in a familiar setting.Volpe invited some of his 2022 minor league teammates, including catching prospect Austin Wells, over to his home in New Jersey. There, they hung out, dined on chicken parm and reminisced while going over old at-bats.“Kind of like old times,” a smiling Volpe said Tuesday night after he helped the Yankees beat the Mets, 7-6.But that hangout resulted in more than just a nice night. As Volpe and Wells viewed old home run clips on an iPad, the duo “noticed some things.”“Kind of a little stuff with my stance and how I set up to hit,” Volpe said. “It was so small, but we both kind of noticed it and started talking about it. I think we both took a lot away from it.”Volpe told that story after showing up to Citi Field with a new stance on Wednesday.With a more closed-off setu...

Inflationary pressures continue to ease, producer prices drop 0.3% from April to May

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:58:36 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Wholesale prices in the United States dropped 0.3% from April to May, another sign that inflationary pressures continue to ease in the face of repeated interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.The Labor Department’s producer price index — which measures inflation before it reaches consumers — rose 1.1% last month from May 2022, it said Wednesday, the smallest year-over-year gain since December 2020.On a month-to-month basis, overall producer prices have now dropped three of the last four months. In May, wholesale inflation was pulled down by a 13.8% drop in gasoline prices. Excluding volatile food and energy prices, so-called core wholesale inflation was up 0.2% last from April and 2.8% from a year earlier, the mildest gain since February 2021.Unleashed by an unexpectedly strong economic recovery from 2020’s COVID-19 recession, inflation began to rise in 2021 and last year reached levels not seen since the early 1980s. In response, the Fed has raised ...
