Mbappe, Neymar and Verratti left out of PSG squad for opening game against Lorient

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:31:04 GMT

PARIS (AP) — Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Marco Verratti were all left out of the squad for Paris Saint-Germain’s season opener against Lorient later Saturday.Mbappe is mired in a contract standoff and was widely expected not to be in the squad after having been left out of the pre-season tour to Japan and South Korea. He trained apart from defending champion PSG’s first-team regulars all week.Neymar trained alone on Friday, with the club saying it was because he was recovering from a viral infection. But Neymar is heading for a PSG exit and could leave this month.The 30-year-old Verratti, who has been in PSG’s midfield for 11 years, has been linked with a move to the lucrative Saudi Arabian league.PSG’s new coach Luis Enrique spoke to both Neymar and Verratti and said at his news conference Friday that “my decisions will clearly express my views.”It appears neither are in his plans for the coming season.Central defender Milan Skriniar, attacking midfielde...

Most would reject travel upgrades to stay close to a friend or romantic partner, study finds

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:31:04 GMT

Air travel can be tricky. It’s often riddled with delays and even baggage woes.But upgrades can be a surprisingly bright spot. However, a study published by the Society for Consumer Psychology finds that most travelers would refuse better comfort if it means they’ll be separated from a traveling partner, close friend or romantic partner.In one of several studies with different scenarios, researchers found a good number of people would forgo traveling in first class rather than abandoning their loved one in coach.“They exhibit a pretty strong preference to be physically close to this person who they feel emotionally close to,” said Rebecca Ratner, one of three co-authors of the study.She said they got similar results with chocolate — folks would rather enjoy one piece with company, than two pieces alone.“It’s sort of baffling to us in a way,” Ratner said.That’s because if people are trying to fill life with enjoyable experiences, “it means we may sacrifice enjoyment, part...

ANÁLISIS | Así han sido los 4 años de gobierno de Alberto Fernández como presidente de Argentina

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:31:04 GMT

(CNN Español) — Desde hace años, Argentina parece no tener respiro. Con una de las economías y las poblaciones más grandes de América Latina, y una historia pasada de avances y crecimiento, en las últimas décadas el país sudamericano ha estado atravesando dificultades económicas y períodos de estancamiento e inestabilidad política, y cada uno de los gobiernos recientes lo ha sentido en las urnas.El actual presidente Alberto Fernández, electo en 2019, no es la excepción: aquejado por una inflación muy alta –entre otros problemas económicos– y una escasa popularidad, decidió hace tiempo no buscar la reelección en los comicios presidenciales que se aproximan, y su fuerza política, la coalición del Frente de Todos (ahora rebautizado Unión por la Patria), se enfrenta a una dura batalla electoral por retener el poder ejecutivo.ANÁLISIS | Alberto Fernández desiste de la reelección: ¿qué significa?¿Qué pasó exactamente en estos ajetreados cuatro años que incluyeron la pand...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:31:04 GMT

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Damar Hamlin has reached another major milestone in his return to football. The Bills safety was scheduled to suit up and play in Buffalo’s preseason opener against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday. The game will mark the first time Hamlin has appeared in a competitive setting since going into cardiac arrest and needing to be resuscitated on the field during a game at Cincinnati on Jan. 2.What seemed unfathomable in those frightening first moments, and the nine-day stay in two hospitals that followed, has become a reality for the 25-year-old Hamlin, who put his fears aside in April by announcing his intention to resume his playing career after being medically cleared to return.In that time, the Bills have eased Hamlin back on the field, starting with him taking part in individual drills in May, followed by team drills a week later. Two weeks ago, the third-year safety took another major step by experiencing his first thud of a hit in the Bills’ firs...

Heat Advisory Continues into the Weekend with Storms Still in the Forecast

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:31:04 GMT

More heat and more storms are in the cards this weekend in South Florida as a tropical wave passes through the southern portion of the Penninsula, increasing our rain chances at times. These tropical waves can be fickle, so if the moisture with the wave holds, then it could turn soggy at times, especially on Sunday.Heat Advisory is in effect again today for all of South Florida from the late-morning through the evening for feels-like temperatures up to 112F at most locations.High temperatures Saturday will be in the low to mid 90s with in-and-out sunshine and the chance for seeing some showers and storms around the area. With a 40% rain chance, there’s a better shot at any given location staying dry than receiving any rain.Now on Sunday, there should be some more moisture in place so rain chances will be higher at a 60% chance. Sunday is not forecast to be a washout but scattered showers and storms are expected, especially during the morning and early afternoon hours. This may...
