Poland suspends imports of Ukrainian grain

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:00:28 GMT

Poland will temporarily stop all imports of grain from Ukraine, the two countries’ governments announced Friday.The measure comes after a meeting earlier in the day between Poland’s new Agriculture Minister Robert Telus, who took office Thursday, with his Ukrainian counterpart Mykola Solskyi at a border crossing between the two countries.“The Ukrainian side has proposed to severely restrict, and for the moment even stop completely, grain arrivals to Poland,” Telus said during a joint press conference after the meeting. He added that restrictions would not extend to the transit of grain intended for other countries.Following Russia’s invasion, Ukraine was forced to divert around half of its exports from the blocked Black Sea ports into Poland, Hungary, Romania and other border countries. The move, facilitated by the European Commission and EU countries, was meant to throw an economic lifeline to Ukraine, one of the world’s largest agricultural producers,...

Biden’s student loan pause faces another lawsuit

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:00:28 GMT

(CNN) — The Biden administration is facing another lawsuit over extending the pandemic-related pause on federal student loan payments.The pause is set to end later this year, but the plaintiffs want the moratorium to end immediately.The newest legal challenge was filed by the New Civil Liberties Alliance on behalf of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, a free market think tank, earlier this week. In a similar lawsuit, private lender SoFi sued the Biden administration last month, also seeking to end the pause on payments.The moratorium has been extended eight times under both the Trump and Biden administrations since March 2020, when it was put in place to help people struggling due to the Covid-19 pandemic.The New Civil Liberties Alliance lawsuit argues that the Department of Education has unlawfully extended the pause, relying on an “ever-shifting foundation of purported legal justifications.”The lawsuit alleges that the pause harms nonprofit employer...

Chris Perkins: Breaking down the Dolphins’ 2019 and 2020 drafts, classes key to the rebuild and win-now window

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:00:28 GMT

Draft and develop. It’s a big key to NFL success in the salary-cap era.Teams can fill some key positions through trades and free agency, which the Dolphins are doing in their current win-now window. But ultimately, to keep labor costs within limits, you need low-cost talent, which means young players.Roughly three weeks before the NFL draft (April 27-29), we’re reminded that three draft classes form the basis of the Dolphins’ rebuild — 2019, 2020 and 2021.It usually takes three years to fairly evaluate a draft class, so we’ll look back at the 2019 and 2020 classes, grading both the draftee right now and the organization’s ability to develop that draftee.We’ll grade those two classes even though the 2021 class — which includes wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and edge rusher Jaelan Phillips as first-round picks and safety Jevon Holland and guard Liam Eichenberg as second-round pick — is among the franchise’s best in recent memory...

Yankees Notebook: Josh Donaldson likely heading to IL with hamstring injury

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:00:28 GMT

BALTIMORE — Nothing is official yet, but Josh Donaldson is “likely” heading to the injured list following the Yankees’ Friday afternoon game against the Orioles, according to Aaron Boone.An IL stint was a known possibility on Wednesday, when the third baseman hurt his right hamstring in the Yankees’ series finale against the Phillies. Donaldson stayed back in New York for a workout on Friday, though he has not had an MRI.“We’ll make that call right at the end of the day,” Boone said. “Don’t feel like it’s too serious, but enough that it would probably knock him down four or five days. So we’re gonna likely be cautious in this situation.”Donaldson is off to a quiet start this season, his second with the Yankees following an offensively disappointing debut campaign. The 37-year-old is hitting .125 with one home run over five games.If Donaldson lands on the IL, Boone considers DJ LeMahieu his primary third ba...

When Yuri Williams was 8 years old, his mother sometimes took him with her to work at the Los Angeles County’s Central Juvenile Hall when she couldn’t find a sitter. Lynda C. Hubbard worked there, with troubled children and young adults as a juvenile correctional officer, for more than three decades.“There was this one big guy banging on the walls in his room,” Williams recalled, who is now 46 and lives in Signal Hill. “My mom walked in and asked him what was going on and he just started crying and she was holding this much bigger person in her arms.”Williams ended up following in his mother’s footsteps, becoming a deputy juvenile correctional officer for the Orange County Probation Department. Over the years, he sought guidance from his mother, who told him how to speak with those in custody, how to help the boys and girls.When Hubbard died from cancer in 2009, Williams fell into a deep depression for five years.“One day I was just sitting there and tried calling her phone and just...
