Threat of EU trade war would not push UK government to override Northern Irish concerns

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:05:40 GMT

The threat of a trade war with Europe would not give the British government cause to overrule unionist objections to future EU trade laws in Northern Ireland, a senior U.K. minister has pledged.Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris made the commitment Tuesday to the Commons EU scrutiny committee, on the eve of a parliamentary vote to approve regulations governing the so-called Stormont Brake.The “brake” is a key part of the Windsor Framework, the wider U.K.-EU agreement on making post-Brexit trade rules work in Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland remains the only part of the U.K. still bound to EU goods regulations. The new laws published Monday offer unionists in the Northern Ireland Assembly the power to object to future EU laws governing goods standards — but also gives London ill-defined wiggle room to disregard such a unionist petition if U.K. ministers cite “exceptional circumstances.”Democratic Unionist MP Gavin Robinson told Heaton-Harris the Stormont Brake was there...

Lonzo Ball’s knee injury: A timeline of the recovery for the Chicago Bulls point guard — and the unknown road ahead

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:05:40 GMT

Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball had another surgery on his left knee, the third procedure in the last 14 months.Ball underwent a cartilage transplant on March 20. Uncertainty has shrouded every step of Ball’s recovery since the injury occurred in January 2022, but this procedure throws Ball’s future into completely unprecedented territory.Cartilage transplants are rare in professional sports. The procedure is relatively new, designed as a step down from a full knee replacement to maintain the integrity of the knee joint. No NBA player has undergone a cartilage transplant and returned to the court.Ball hasn’t played since Jan. 14, 2022, when he suffered a small tear in the meniscus in his left knee. That has spiraled into an increasingly confounding injury requiring three surgical procedures and continuing to cause him pain.Here’s how it all has played out for the Bulls point guard.Timeline of Lonzo Ball’s knee injuryJan. 14, 2022: Ball suffers meni...

Mike Lupica: Willis Reed, who was the beating heart of the champion Knicks, dies at 80

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:05:40 GMT

It couldn’t have happened without all of them, without Clyde who played the game of his life in that Game 7 against the Lakers that May night in 1970, the night at Madison Square Garden when the Knicks finally won it all, thirty-six points from him and 19 assists and seven rebounds. It wouldn’t have happened without Dave DeBusschere, the bartender’s kid from Detroit, and Bill Bradley, the Rhodes Scholar out of Crystal City, Mo., and then Princeton. And it sure wouldn’t have happened without Red Holzman, the basketball lifer out of the NBA in the 1950s, the quiet leader of the band, growling at them to all see the ball.But none of it could possibly have happened without Capt. Willis Reed, who limped out that night on a ruined leg and made two jumpers against Wilt Chamberlain and the Lakers, in the greatest basketball moment of them all in New York City, the one that officially turned what Pete Hamill used to call the Basie band of pro basketball into as belove...

A man who made the trek from Arkansas this weekend is now behind bars not for the three dogs he schlepped up here to sell, but for, police allege, the assortment of four guns and three large-capacity magazines he brought with him for “protection.”State Police pulled over Tayvian Chamberlain, 20, of Bentonville, Arkanasas, shortly after midnight on Sunday on Day Boulevard in South Boston because, they say, he had an expired paper license plate on his Dodge Durango SUV.Chamberlain had three “young dogs” in the car — two labradors and one Italian mastiff — who he told police he’d driven up from the Bear State to sell to people in the Boston area.But the dogs, who all appeared fine, were less of the troopers’ concern was the armory strewn around the vehicle, according to the state police.After he left the car at troopers’ request, the cops saw the driver’s seat was also occupied by a Canix pistol with a magazine holding 18 9-millimeter rou...
