Slovakia begins border checks with neighboring Hungary in an effort to curb migration

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:13:36 GMT

SAHY, Slovakia (AP) — Slovakia began conducting traffic checks on its border with neighboring Hungary on Thursday amid what it says is a dramatic rise in migrants crossing onto its territory. The policy joins a flurry of similar border measures other Central European countries have imposed in recent days. The increased border protection came as a reaction to Slovakia’s neighbors, including Austria, the Czech Republic and Poland, reintroducing controls at their own borders with Slovakia on Wednesday to curb migrants coming in from the country. Each of the border control policies are set to last for at least 10 days. At a border crossing in Sahy, Slovakia — a 90-kilometer (55-mile) drive north of Hungary’s capital, Budapest — two Slovakian police flagged down vehicles Thursday to conduct inspections. It’s a departure from the ease of travel long afforded to members of Europe’s visa-free Schengen area, last restricted when some countries sealed their borders in ...

Unbeaten France has lots of reasons to be worried about Italy in crunch Rugby World Cup match

Title contender France has plenty of reasons to be concerned about Italy in their crunch Rugby World Cup match on Friday in Lyon.Both are chasing a quarterfinal spot. France is unbeaten and is looking to top Pool A. Italy has lots of motivation.Italy was caned by New Zealand 96-17 last week in Lyon but the Azzurri are usually thrashed by the All Blacks. Italy has no fear factor at all, though, when it comes to neighbor France.Their derby is often feisty, and the All Blacks did France no favor by riling up Italy to save some face for the humiliation they suffered a week ago.“We are looking forward to a chance this week to at least get a performance that has a lot more respectability,” Italy coach Kieran Crowley says.This could be Crowley’s last game in charge of Italy. He was hired from Treviso in May 2021 after the disastrous 16-month reign of Franco Smith. Crowley transformed the team’s fortunes by improving their fitness, discipline and attack and selecting promising stars.N...

LONDON (AP) — The Marylebone Cricket Club expelled one member and handed long suspensions to two others on Thursday following their clashes with Australia’s players during an Ashes test at Lord’s in July.There were unprecedented scenes of uproar at the home of cricket after Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey threw down the stumps when England batter Jonny Bairstow wandered out of his crease without checking if the ball was dead.The crowd accused Australia of cheating and Australian players Usman Khawaja and David Warner were abused in the Long Room by MCC members as they returned to their dressing room.The MCC, which owns Lord’s and is the custodian and arbiter of the laws of cricket, apologized and said Carey was in the right, even if many, including players in the England team and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, believed Australia broke the unwritten “spirit of cricket.”Three unnamed MCC members were punished after being charged with “abusive, offensive or inappropr...

EU to US: Help, we can’t cope without you on Ukraine

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:13:36 GMT

GRANADA, Spain — Top EU officials have a message for Washington after Republican lawmakers blocked a new aid package for Ukraine: We need you to help Kyiv hold its own against Russia.Arriving in Granada, Spain, for a gathering of European leaders, the bloc’s top diplomat Josep Borrell said Europe wouldn’t be able to shoulder the entire burden of foreign support for Ukraine on its own.“Europe cannot fill the gap of the U.S.,” he told journalists a few days after congressional Republicans refused to approve a stopgap funding measure for Kyiv. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen struck a similar tone, underscoring that the EU plans to approve €50 billion in support for Ukraine in the coming months but that Washington’s help remains crucial.“I am very confident in support for Ukraine from the United States,” she said, adding that what remained unclear was the timing of when the support would arrive.
