Springboks power vs. Scotland pace? The defending champ’s Rugby World Cup opener may be more nuanced

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 02:20:48 GMT

The Springboks say they’re about more than just a brutal power game at this Rugby World Cup.Loading their bench with seven forwards in an unprecedented move in their last preparation game hardly helped change the reputation of the cup holders, who open their title defense against Scotland on Sunday in Marseille.But there are signs if you look beyond the hulking forward pack that South Africa’s five-year plan, aimed at building the deepest squad it has ever had, involves a more expansive outlook from the coaching duo of Rassie Erasmus and Jacques Nienaber.South Africa brought four try-scoring wingers to this World Cup when it was expected to have to sacrifice at least one of them for flyhalf backup. Manie Libbok, the only specialist 10 in the squad, plays more on intuition than structure, unlike any Springboks playmaker in recent memory.It raises the possibility of the Boks moving more regularly away from just the set-piece dominance and highly repetitive tactical kicking that delive...

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 02:20:48 GMT

La Fiscalía acusó formalmente este viernes a Luis Rubiales, presidente suspendido de la Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF), a quien pide investigar por los delitos de agresión sexual y coacciones en relación al beso que dio a la jugadora Jenni Hermoso tras la final del mundial en Sídney.Rubiales besó a Jenni Hermoso en los labios durante la ceremonia de entrega de medallas luego de que España derrotó a Inglaterra en la final de la Copa del Mundo el pasado 20 de agosto.El Ministerio Público considera que esta actuación de Rubiales no fue consentida y por tanto puede ser constitutiva de un delito de agresión sexual y de otro de coacciones por la presión que sufrió Jenni Hermoso y su entorno tras el episodio, de modo que solicita a la Audiencia que abra una causa contra el directivo.Ahora el juzgado en el que recaiga la querella debe decidir si abre o no procedimiento penal contra él. De ser hallado culpable, se expone a una multa o hasta a una condena de 4 años de cárcel. ...

Fewer apply for home loans as borrowing costs, rising prices shut out prospective homebuyers

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 02:20:48 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — U.S. home loan applications are the lowest in decades as evidence mount that rising mortgage rates and home prices are shutting out many aspiring homeowners.An index that tracks mortgage application volume shows applications for loans to buy a home fell last week to the lowest level in 28 years, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. The MBA’s home loan application index shows that home purchase loans fell 2.1% last week from the prior week to a seasonally adjusted reading of 141.9. That’s down about 28% from a year earlier and represents the lowest level for the index since April 1995. “Both purchase and refinance applications fell, with the purchase index hitting a 28-year low, as prospective buyers remain on the sidelines due to low housing inventory and elevated mortgage rates,” said Joel Kan, the MBA’s deputy chief economist.Mortgage rates have been climbing in recent weeks, echoing a steady rise in the 10-year Treasury yield, which ...

Roberta Metsola draws ire from Greens over apparent shift on climate

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 02:20:48 GMT

BRUSSELS — Green EU lawmakers are criticizing European Parliament President Roberta Metsola after it was reported she said climate policies are pushing voters toward populist parties in the lead-up to next year’s European election. “Why have we stopped talking to our businesses? Have we not placed being climate ambitious as not being mutually exclusive with economic growth?” Metsola was quoted as saying Thursday in the Financial Times. The article also said that Metsola, who is the institution’s figurehead, considered this to be the consensus in Parliament.The remarks were a surprising shift in tone for Metsola, who has until now largely kept away from the rightward shift of her own center-right European People’s Party (EPP) group. She’s tended in public statements to instead be led by majority policy positions of the Parliament as a whole. After years of the EU passing new climate and environment legislation under the flagship European Green Deal, the...

(CNN) — The operation to rescue American caver Mark Dickey, stranded about 3,600 feet underground in southern Turkey, could start Saturday – a week after he first became ill – a director at Turkey’s Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) told CNN Friday.Dickey fell ill at the weekend with suspected gastrointestinal bleeding during a exploration mission of the 1,276 meters-deep (4,186 feet) Morca Sinkhole in Morca Valley, near Anamur, southern Turkey, according to the Turkish Caving Federation.The European Cave Rescue Association (ECRA) received a call on September 2 saying that Dickey was suffering from severe gastric pain, and the next day it was reported that help from outside was needed because of his “rising destabilization.” His condition has since stabilized, according to the Turkish Caving Federation.Some 182 rescuers are on site working to get Dickey out, said Recep Salci of AFAD, including 32 people who are working inside the cave.Rescuers will de...
