Donald Trump’s rivals vow to back Israel and argue over China and Ukraine at the third debate

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 15:25:46 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — In their first debate since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, the Republican presidential candidates all declared hawkish support for Israel but squabbled over China and Ukraine as they faced growing pressure to try to catch Donald Trump, who was again absent.Sparring over several issues were Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley, who has appeared competitive with DeSantis’ distant second-place position in some national polls. Much of the debate focused on policy — especially foreign policy issues — rather than Trump and his record.Haley, the former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador, declared she would end trade relations with China “until they stop murdering Americans from fentanyl — something Ron has yet to say that he’s going to do.” In return, the Florida governor said Haley “welcomed” Chinese investment to her state, referencing a land deal with a Chinese manufacturer while she led South Carolina.All five candidates face growing urgency, with the ...

Européennes : les déboires d’Atos parasitent les ambitions de Thierry Breton

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 15:25:46 GMT

PARIS — Thierry Breton, commissaire européen au marché intérieur, a toujours su mettre en avant son parcours de dirigeant d’entreprise, anciennement à la tête d’un fleuron français du numérique, pour servir ses ambitions politiques.Manière d’assumer sa différence dans une ville tenue par des diplomates et des haut-fonctionnaires pas toujours rompus aux lois du business.Mais alors que la vente d’Atos défraie la chronique à Paris, ce passé dans le secteur privé commence à ressembler davantage à un handicap qu’à un atout.Atos, que Thierry Breton a dirigé de 2009 à 2019, était autrefois un joyau de l’écosystème numérique français, fruit de fusions successives qui en ont fait une multinationale des services informatiques évaluée à environ 5 milliards d’euros. Minée par des difficultés stratégiques, l’entreprise a pourtant pris l’eau après le départ de son patron pour Bruxelles. En quelques années, sa valorisation a chuté à environ 500...

Coleman Domingo brings “Rustin” into top tier

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 15:25:46 GMT

“Rustin”Rated PG-13. At the Landmark Kendall SquareGrade: B+Coleman Domingo is the reason to see “Rustin,” George C. Wolfe’s often moving, nicely staged and dramatized depiction of the events and lives that accompanied the conception and implementation of the historic and unprecedented 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The film’s executive producers are no less than Michelle and President Barack Obama, working with Netflix.The screenplay by Julian Breece (TV’s “When They See Us”) and Academy Award-winner Dustin Lance Black (“Milk,” “J. Edgar”) begins by telling us that in 1954 the U.S. Supreme Court rules that “segregation is unconstitutional.” We see ketchup poured over a young Black woman seated at a counter in the South and a little girl under protection on her way to a newly integrated school.Martin Luther King Jr. (a powerful Aml Ameen) is the brilliant architect of the Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott. Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. (Jeffrey...

Don’t expect any ‘Marvels’ from this superhero tale

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 15:25:46 GMT

“The Marvels”Rated PG-13. At the AMC Boston Common, AMC South Bay and suburban theaters. Grade: B- Not quite as bad as advertised by stories about re-shoots, “The Marvels” is just another Marvel entry sporting a plot that never seems important enough to keep track of and ends up being a collection of special effects scenes and female-bonding moments. In this installment, Carol Danvers (Academy Award-winner Brie Larson), Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris, “If Beale Street Could Talk”) and Pakistani-American Jersey City, N.J. high school student Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani, TV’s “Ms. Marvel”) aka the Marvels, meet one another and discover that when they use their superpowers at the same time, they switch places via teleportation. Ms. Marvel gets her powers from a super bangle that she wears. Rambeau, who knew Danvers as a child in Louisiana and used to call her “Auntie,” gained her powers after being bombarded by “inter-dimensional energy.” Rambeau is also at times called Captai...

Editorial: Democrats fret as bad news mounts for Biden

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 15:25:46 GMT

A week is an eternity in politics, let alone a year. Yet that hasn’t stopped Democrats from entering panic mode over a new poll showing widespread voter dissatisfaction with President Joe Biden.The New York Times on Sunday revealed the results of a survey it conducted with Siena College of six battleground states in the 2024 presidential election. The numbers were stunning, to say the least.The findings show Biden losing to Donald Trump in five of the states — Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Nevada — by at least four points. The president faces a 10-point deficit in Nevada. In Wisconsin, Biden led Trump by 2 points.Biden carried all six states in 2020.Of particular note, the survey found that “the multiracial and multigenerational coalition that elected Mr. Biden is fraying,” according to the Times. “Demographic groups that backed Biden by landslide margins in 2020 are now far more closely contested, as two-thirds of the electorate sees the country moving in the wrong d...
