Labuschagne century resists England push for Ashes win

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 07:57:38 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Joe Root kept England’s hopes of a series-leveling win alive in the fourth Ashes test by dismissing centurion Marnus Labuschagne on a rain-affected fourth day Saturday.The worst fears of a washout at Old Trafford were not realized, with persistent showers finally clearing in time to get play underway at 2:45 p.m. But a stand of 103 between Labuschagne and Mitch Marsh threatened to shut the door on the home side.Labuschagne made a defiant 111 to nudge his side closer to a draw that would see Australia retain the urn. But he was finally removed about 15 minutes before tea when he nicked Root’s occasional off-spin to Jonny Bairstow, who gathered well at the second attempt.That left the tourists on 214-5, 61 behind England having ended day three 167 adrift.Root bowled only because of bad light, with the umpires deciding that conditions were too gloomy for the seamers, but his unpredictable offerings provided the biggest threat and he was unlucky no...

Malasia cancela un festival de música tras un beso del cantante de The 1975 con otro hombre

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 07:57:38 GMT

(CNN) — Un festival de música en Malasia fue cancelado después de que el cantante de la banda británica The 1975, Matty Healy, criticara las leyes anti-LGBTQ del país y besara a un compañero de banda en el escenario.El incidente de este viernes por la noche en el escenario del Festival Good Vibes en Kuala Lumpur llevó al Ministerio de Comunicaciones del país a cancelar el resto del evento, de una duración prevista de tres días.Los actos homosexuales son ilegales en Malasia y se castigan con multas y hasta 20 años de prisión.En un discurso cargado de improperios durante la actuación de la banda, registrado en un video compartido ampliamente en las redes sociales, Healy dijo: “No veo el sentido de invitar a The 1975 a un país y que luego nos digan con quién podemos tener sexo”.“Desafortunadamente, no les podemos dar un montón de canciones optimistas porque realmente estoy furioso. Y eso no es justo para ustedes, porque ustedes no representan al gobierno. Ustedes son ...

Incluso cuando Estados Unidos se enfrenta a una intensa ola de calor este verano, la doctora Mandy Cohen, directora de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC, por sus siglas en inglés), ya está pensando en la temporada de resfriados e influenza del invierno.“Vamos a tener tres virus: COVID-19, por supuesto, influenza y RSV”, dijo Cohen en una entrevista. “Necesitamos asegurarnos de que el pueblo estadounidense comprenda los tres y qué puede hacer para protegerse”.La propagación de los tres virus respiratorios es actualmente baja, pero los CDC han comenzado a detectar ligeros aumentos en las pruebas positivas de COVID-19 y las visitas a emergencias relacionadas con coronavirus. Asimismo, la disminución de las hospitalizaciones por COVID-19 se ha estancado.Las subvariantes de Omicron XBB siguen siendo las formas más prevalentes del coronavirus, aunque esta semana la Organización Mundial de la Salud identificó una nueva variante de XBB, la EG.5, cuya prevalenc...

Fitzpatrick brothers giving their parents some tough choices at British Open

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 07:57:38 GMT

HOYLAKE, England (AP) — Two brothers teed off within an hour and a half of each other in the third round of the British Open.For the parents of Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick, it might have been a case of split loyalties as they weighed up which of their sons to follow at Royal Liverpool on Saturday.“I told them to go focus on him,” said Matt, the U.S. Open champion last year and the older of the siblings by four years. “That’s more important. This is my, what, ninth? So they’ve seen all nine of those.”They were treated to quite the show by Alex, whose first Open is going better than he can ever have imagined.He birdied three of his last four holes to shoot 6-under 65 and possibly move into contention for the claret jug, a highly improbable scenario for a player ranked No. 561 and who has golfed in his brother’s shadow.Alex’s score would have tied the record for the low score in 13 Opens to have been held at Hoylake had Jon Rahm not shot 63 a half hour earlier.“I’m not familiar with this...
