DENVER (AP) — Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson said he's flying to New York to meet with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Wednesday to get more clarity about his latest suspension and the way the league enforces its player safety rules.“For me, I see a lot of the same things happening around the league where guys aren't going through what I'm going through — no flags, no fines, no suspensions," Jackson said Tuesday night in his first public comments since drawing his second suspension last week. “I'm not really sure why I'm being treated the way I'm being treated. I'm making regular football plays, nothing malicious in my opinion," Jackson said. “I just want to know why I'm the only person going through what I'm going through.” NFL upholds 4-game suspension of Broncos safety Kareem Jackson, costing him $558K in lost wages Jackson, who's in his 14th NFL season, has been suspended by the league for six games this season, ejected from two others and been fined $89,670 for four i...

London (CNN) — Wild beavers have returned to London’s Ealing district after an absence of 400 years.A family of five Eurasian beavers – a breeding pair and their three offspring – were transported from Scotland and released Wednesday at the Paradise Fields wetlands area, in Ealing, west London.The Ealing Beaver Project hopes the beavers can help reduce the risk of flooding, as well as engaging people in nature.London Mayor Sadiq Khan was at the release. “[Beavers] are nature’s way of building dams … helping the wider ecosystem,” he said. “It’s good for humans, it’s good for nature, it’s good for our city.”His Rewild London Fund provided almost £40,000 ($49,000) in funding for the project.Sean McCormack, chair of Ealing Wildlife Group, one of many groups behind the beaver initiative, said: “Paradise Fields is a little oasis of nature adjoining a big retail park and adjoining urban Greenford.“Greenford is a high flood risk zone, and that’s only going to be exacerbated by climate chang...

Puigdemont warns he’s willing to topple Spanish PM Sánchez

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:00:43 GMT

The Junts party would be willing to withdraw support from Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s government if “there is not sufficient progress” in negotiations for Catalan independence, its leader Carles Puigdemont said.Speaking to Brussels Playbook on the sidelines of the POLITICO 28 gala dinner on Tuesday night, Puigdemont said his seven Junts MPs, who struck a deal to prop up Sánchez’s government earlier this month in exchange for an amnesty for everyone involved in the failed 2017 Catalan independence referendum, would be open to working with the conservative Popular Party (PP) to depose Sánchez mid-term.Junts would consider a motion of no confidence in Sánchez’s government if it could agree with the PP on an independent prime minister to replace the Socialist, said Puigdemont, “But for that, the PP must make a step toward us … they cannot keep treating me like a terrorist.” The Popular Party won the most votes in Spain’s July ele...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:00:43 GMT

TERVUREN, Belgium — European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who has yet to announce if she will seek another term in office, seems open to the idea of another run at the helm of the EU’s executive.Asked at a POLITICO event Tuesday evening what she would do differently during a second mandate, von der Leyen said she would “keep the direction of travel for the big topics” from her current mandate — namely the Green Deal, the digital transitions and resilience.But the Commission chief also stressed that Europe would need flexibility to adapt to a changing world.“The world is dictating partially what the tasks of the day are,” von der Leyen said. “You have to integrate [this] in your political life too.”Von der Leyen, a former German defense minister from the center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and a close ally to former Chancellor Angela Merkel, became the first woman to land the top EU job in 2019.Since then, she has deci...

Biden to take on Boebert, House GOP’s economic vision in Colorado remarks

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:00:43 GMT

(CNN) — President Joe Biden on Wednesday will seek to contrast his economic vision with that of so-called “MAGA” Republicans, including Republican firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert, during a visit to her Colorado district, according to an administration official.Biden will visit CS Wind, the world’s largest wind tower manufacturer, where he’ll point to the company’s new $200 million Pueblo, Colorado, facility expansion – an expansion both the company and the Biden administration have directly attributed to passage of 2022’s Inflation Reduction Act.Biden and Boebert have clashed in the past and the trip to the conservative congresswoman’s district comes as she faces a tough reelection bid in 2024. Earlier this year, Democrat Aaron Frisch – who narrowly lost to the incumbent Boebert in 2022’s midterm elections – announced he would again mount a campaign to unseat her in 2024.The official said the president will use his remarks We...

Blinken seeks a new extension of the Gaza cease-fire as he heads again to the Middle East

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:00:43 GMT

BRUSSELS (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the Biden administration would like to see a new extension of the cease-fire agreement in Israel’s war with Hamas after the current one expires to secure the release of additional hostages held by the militant group and to ramp up humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza.As he prepared to make his third visit to the Middle East since the war began with Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks in Israel, Blinken said Wednesday that in addition to discussing short-term logistical and operational planning, the Biden administration believes it is imperative to discuss ideas about the future governance of Gaza if Israel achieves its stated goal of eradicating Hamas.Israel and Arab nations have resisted such discussions about future governance, with Israeli officials concentrating on the war and Arab leaders insisting the immediate priority must be ending the fighting that has killed thousands of Palestinian civilians.The extension of the current deal e...

Supreme Court to examine the power of agencies and the president

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:00:43 GMT

(CNN) — The Supreme Court returns to the so-called “administrative state” Wednesday, in a case that offers the conservative majority a fresh chance to pare back the authority of regulatory agencies and could potentially enhance presidential power.The case involves the reach of the Securities and Exchange Commission – established in 1934 to protect investors and maintain orderly markets – but it could also impact other federal agencies depending upon how the justices view the dispute.It’s one of several cases this term where the conservatives on the court are expected to take a hard look at the structure of government out of a belief that independent agencies unaccountable to the public have become too powerful, in violation of the separation of powers.One aspect of the case – that will be decided by July in the heat of the presidential election – concerns the tenure of administrative law judges who can only be removed for cause, and not at the whim of the president. It comes as...
