Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:36:03 GMT

(CNN) — Moscú y Beijing arremetieron contra la cumbre del G7 en Hiroshima, en la que los líderes de las principales democracias prometieron nuevas medidas contra Rusia y hablaron sobre su creciente preocupación por China.El ministro ruso de Asuntos Exteriores, Serguéi Lavrov, criticó el sábado al G7 por entregarse a su “propia grandeza” con una agenda que pretendía “disuadir” a Rusia y China.Mientras tanto, el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores chino acusó a los líderes del G7 de “obstaculizar la paz internacional” y dijo que el grupo debía “reflexionar sobre su comportamiento y cambiar de rumbo”.Beijing había hecho “serias gestiones” ante el país anfitrión, Japón, y “otras partes” por su decisión de “desprestigiar y atacar” a China, dijo.Tanto el brutal ataque de Rusia a Ucrania como la forma de tratar a un Beijing cada vez más asertivo han estado presentes en la reunión de tres días de las prin...

OBF: Celtics need to quickly flip the script against the Heat

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:36:03 GMT

In a playoff run defined by “The Town,” the Celtics must flip the script in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat if they want a Hollywood ending.They are two losses from joining “The Departed.”Game 3 is tonight in South Beach.“The Verdict” after choking away Games 1 and 2 at home to “The Heat”?“Knives Out” for Joe Mazzulla.The late-game “Spotlight” has been too bright for Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and their teammates.There has been no “Celtic Pride” on display thus far against Miami. Nor does this team appear to be getting “Stronger.” They might as well have been taking a dip at Singing Beach in “Manchester By The Sea.”Miami’s Jimmy Butler has reprised his role as the “Boston Strangler” this spring.In Games 1 and 2, Butler averaged 31 points, 6.5 boards and 6.5 assists. He scored nine points during Miami’s 24-9 run that closed out Game 2, after scoring seven in the final 6:48 of Game 1.“How do you like them apples?”Yes, Grant Williams “poked the bear.” But the Celti...

One year of Adley Rutschman: Ranking the 10 best moments from the Orioles star catcher

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:36:03 GMT

Adley Rutschman’s impact isn’t hard for Brandon Hyde to quantify.“The record kind of speaks for itself,” Hyde said.From the start of the 2019 season — Hyde’s first as the manager of a rebuilding team — to Rutschman’s debut May 21, 2022, the Orioles won 34.7% of their games (147-277). Since the star catcher arrived in the big leagues, Baltimore has won 57.7% of its games (97-71), competing for a playoff spot last year and looking poised to do so again this season.“Our season definitely changed when he got here last year, and I think he was a huge part of that,” the fifth-year manager added.For as long as Rutschman is on the Orioles and the club is competitive, May 21 could become a holiday of sorts. It won’t only be an annual reminder of when the franchise star — a No. 1 overall pick and consensus No. 1 prospect — finally arrived, but the point at which the Orioles transformed from a rebuilding cellar-dwell...
