The trade deadline is here at Major League Baseball. The 2022 MLB trade deadline is set for or 6 p.m. ET on Tuesday (Aug. 2), meaning teams have less than four hours left to bolster their rosters ahead of the August and September playoff push.

“We continue to pray for the families who have suffered an unfathomable loss,” Gov. Andy Beshear said. “Some have lost almost everyone in their home.” Beshear said the toll will likely rise significantly and it could take weeks to find all the victims of the record flooding. Rescue crews continue to struggle to get into hard-hit areas, some of which are among the poorest in America. “I’m concerned that we’re going to be finding bodies for weeks to come,” Beshear said during a lunchtime briefing....

With their natural ability to trap carbon – to extract it from the atmosphere and lock it in as wood – trees are a simple, understandable way to deal with a climate emergency. Indeed, the most impressive action finally committed to Cop26 was to end deforestation by 2030. The California-derived Sequoias pictured here are now grown from seed in the United Kingdom.

Dès le début du débat, Jean Charest a accusé son adversaire de manquer de respect aux militants. Pour un candidat à une course à la chefferie, refuser de s’engager dans un débat, c’est comme un poisson qui refuse de nager dans l’océan, a-t-il souligné. « Si vous voulez unir le parti, vous devez être présent. Vous devez parler aux membres. Ils ne peuvent être traités avec mépris. » — Citation de Jean Charest, candidat à la direction du Parti conservateur du Canada En l’absence de Pierre Poilievre, qui a fait campagne en Saskatchewan, et de Leslyn Lewis, qui s’était également retirée de l’exercice, Jean Charest a débattu mercredi soir dans un minuscule studio d’Ottawa avec seulement deux autres candidats, Scott Aitchison et Roman Baber....

She left the American Top Team gym where she had trained for a long time, moving to a private gym she calls “Lioness Studio” and trains under Roger Krahl. He was in her corner for some of her biggest fights, including the one in which she knocked out Ronda Rousey....

Tudor n’a rien entendu. C’est du moins ce qu’il a assuré après la rencontre lorsqu’on l’a interrogé sur ce bronco très bruyant. “Je ne les ai pas entendus, car j’étais à l’intérieura déclaré l’entraîneur croate lors d’une conférence de presse.

Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers, a Republican, backed away from his earlier endorsement of former President Donald Trump on Sunday. “I will never vote for him, but I won’t have to. Because I think America is tired and there are some absolutely strong, capable, morally upstanding and right people, and that’s what I want. That’s what I want in my party and that’s what I want to see,” she said....

VANCOUVER – The massive internet change brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has coincided with an explosion in so-called “extortion scams,” new data from Statistics Canada suggests. As authorities aim to educate young people and parents about online sex crimes, experts are calling for more regulation, education and enforcement. Sexual blackmail or extortion occurs when someone threatens to distribute private, often sexually explicit, material online if the victim does not comply with their demands, usually for money....

In an open letter to the Lionesses, who will play the eight-time champions in front of a potentially record-breaking crowd at Wembley, the outgoing prime minister wished them luck in their first major final since a 6-2 loss to Germany in Euro 2009. Johnson tweeted images of England flags at Downing Street and said in the letter that the team had inspired girls and women across the country to “know beyond any shadow of a doubt that football is not just for boys”....

The third “Fantastic Beasts” earned $ 20.1 million on Friday night and Thursday from 4,753 locations in North America, which marks the lowest price on the opening day for a movie next to “Potter”. Industry analysts predict a three-day opening in the $ 40 million neighborhood, with some opportunity for an uptrend. This is not exactly the most catastrophic result for a movie release in 2022, but it is a disappointing opening for a movie franchise that is supposed to act like a box office jagger....
