Inter and Napoli brace for early title showdown as the Serie A leader plays the defending champion

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:08:22 GMT

MILAN (AP) — Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi will be hoping for less of a “Pazza Inter” performance when the Serie A leader visits defending champion Napoli on Sunday.Translating to “Crazy Inter,” the nickname came about after years of spectacular implosions and rollercoaster matches. Even one of the club’s anthems is called “Pazza Inter.”And the Nerazzurri lived up to their long-held nickname in Wednesday’s Champions League match at Benfica where — following a first-half horror show — they came back from three goals down to draw 3-3 and could even have won the match had Nicolò Barella’s stoppage-time strike not hit the crossbar.“We talked at halftime and we came back out with a different spirit,” Inzaghi said. “If Barella hadn’t hit the woodwork, it would have been a historic victory.”With Inter having already qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League, Inzaghi had the luxury of being able to rest several players between two important matches in Serie A ...

A temporary cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war has been extended another day, according to mediator Qatar. The announcement Thursday morning came minutes before the cease-fire was set to expire.Hamas released two Israeli women from captivity several hours later, Israel’s military said.Israel had agreed to extend the truce by one day for every 10 militant-held hostages who are freed. The cease-fire, which began Nov. 24 and was originally set to expire on Monday, has paused the deadliest fighting between Israel and Palestinians in decades.Israel has vowed to resume the war in an effort to end Hamas’ 16-year rule of Gaza, but it’s facing mounting international pressure to spare southern Gaza a devastating ground offensive like the one that has demolished much of the north.Roughly 240 hostages were captured by Hamas in its Oct. 7 attack in southern Israel that ignited the war. More than 13,300 Palestinians have been killed since the war began, according to the Hamas-co...

GM believes it will stop losing money on electric vehicles in 2025 as higher margin vehicles arrive

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:08:22 GMT

DETROIT (AP) — General Motors is losing money on every electric vehicle it sells, but the company says it’s on track to generate mid single-digit pretax profit margins in 2025 as it produces more higher margin EVs, works out kinks in battery manufacturing, and sees battery cost reductions.That’s what Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson told analysts at a Barclays conference in New York on Thursday, conceding that the company has struggled to ramp up electric vehicle manufacturing. “While the ramp has been a little bit bumpy, we have worked through that,” he said. Specifically, the company has had trouble with machinery that stacks battery cells into modules at its Ultium Cells battery plant near Warren, Ohio, a joint venture with LG Energy Solution of Korea.The guidance on Thursday of mid single-digit profit margins in two years is a little better than the low-to-mid single digits the company has estimated in the past, Jacobson said. But the new figure includes b...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:08:22 GMT

(CNN) — La Agencia de Protección Ambiental de EE.UU. (EPA, por su sigla en inglés) propuso una norma que obligaría a los sistemas de abastecimiento de agua de todo el país a sustituir millones de tuberías de plomo en un plazo de 10 años.Esta medida aceleraría el avance hacia el objetivo de la administración de Joe Biden de eliminar el 100% de las tuberías de plomo; la exposición a este elemento químico está relacionada con importantes problemas de salud y desarrollo, especialmente en los niños.Según la propuesta de la EPA, las tuberías deben sustituirse en un plazo de 10 años, independientemente de los niveles de plomo en las muestras de agua del grifo u otras muestras de agua potable. Según la propuesta, podría concederse un plazo adicional “en circunstancias limitadas” a algunos sistemas que necesiten una sustitución completa del sistema.La Ley de Agua Potable Segura autoriza a la EPA a establecer reglamentos para los sistemas públicos de agua, y la Regla de Plom...
