Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:39:22 GMT

(CNN) — La acusación de Canadá de que India podría haber estado involucrada en el asesinato de un activista sij en su territorio ha desencadenado una creciente disputa con Ottawa y Nueva Delhi, que expulsaron a altos diplomáticos, lo que hizo que las relaciones entre los dos países se hundieran.Las expulsiones diplomáticas de represalia se produjeron después de que el primer ministro Justin Trudeau dijera que Canadá estaba investigando “acusaciones creíbles” que vinculaban a India con el asesinato en junio del ciudadano canadiense y destacado líder sij Hardeep Singh Nijjar.“Durante las últimas semanas, las agencias de seguridad canadienses han estado persiguiendo activamente acusaciones creíbles de un vínculo potencial entre agentes del gobierno de la India y el asesinato del ciudadano canadiense Hardeep Singh Nijjar”, dijo Trudeau en el parlamento este lunes, añadiendo que su gobierno tomaría todas las medidas necesarias “para hacer que los perpetradores de este a...

Italy braces for Uruguay passion at the Rugby World Cup

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:39:22 GMT

Uruguay lost its opening game at the Rugby World Cup and received all of the plaudits.Los Teros were tipped to lose by 40-plus points to France last Thursday in Lille. But after 55 minutes they trailed only 13-12, then conceded a fluke try. France eventually prevailed 27-12 and was booed by its own supporters.Rugby-mad Uruguay President Luis Lacalle Pou was at the game with French President Emmanuel Macron after trade talks in Paris, and the former Old Boys player in Montevideo went into the Uruguay changing room to praise Los Teros, and take lots of photos.“Everything that is done in life, if it is not with passion, it does not work,” Lacalle Pou told the team. “And let people who don’t know us notice it.”The rugby world noticed. Uruguay humbled France, albeit a second-string side, but still. Los Teros earned 11 turnovers in their own 22 and stopped every French maul. That sterling work was undone by a vulnerable set-piece and 16 penalties.But the passion with which Uruguay t...

Sean Payton is growing frustrated with Russell Wilson but knows fixing the Broncos starts with him

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:39:22 GMT

DENVER (AP) — Jerry Rosburg isn't walking through that door to save the Denver Broncos head coach from himself like he did a year ago.When the Broncos jumped out to a 21-3 lead against Washington on Sunday, it seemed the safest of bets that coach Sean Payton would improve to 73-0, including playoffs, when his teams held a lead of 18 points or more.Russell Wilson's teams in Seattle had never blown that big of a lead.Denver's defense had sacked Sam Howell three times, rookie speedsters Marvin Mims Jr. and Jaleel McLaughlin had scored their first NFL touchdowns and second-year speedster Brandon Johnson had caught Wilson's third TD throw. Can the Broncos bounce back after 2 consecutive losses? When the Commanders went three-and-out on their next drive, Mims returned the punt 45 yards to the Washington 40-yard line with 7:57 left before halftime.The rout was on.After burning his final timeout with 6:46 left in the first half, however, Wilson coughed up the ball at midfield and the Comm...

Modi government expels a Canadian diplomat after Trudeau says India was involved in Sikh’s killing

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:39:22 GMT

NEW DELHI (AP) — India expelled a senior Canadian diplomat Tuesday and accused Canada of interfering in its internal affairs, escalating a breach with Ottawa over its allegations of Indian involvement in the killing of a Sikh activist in Canada.It came a day after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said there were credible allegations that India was connected to the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Sikh independence advocate who was gunned down on June 18 outside a Sikh cultural center in Surrey, British Columbia, and Canada expelled a top Indian diplomat. India rejected the allegations as “absurd.”India has fought against a movement to establish an independent Sikh homeland known as Khalistan since the 1980s, when a raid on separatists in a major temple led to the assassination of a prime minister and a wave of anti-Sikh violence.Nijjar was wanted by Indian authorities, who accused the activist of involvement in an alleged attack on a Hindu priest in India and had offer...

Ivanova officially appointed as European innovation commissioner

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:39:22 GMT

Bulgarian economist Iliana Ivanova has cleared the last hurdle to become the country’s newest European commissioner. Ivanova was appointed by the Council of the EU as Bulgaria’s new commissioner, in a joint decision with Commission President Ursula von der Leyen — who picked Ivanova in June and assigned her the portfolio of innovation, research, education, culture and youth. For little over a year, until the end of the Commission’s mandate on October 31, 2024, Ivanova will take over from her compatriot Mariya Gabriel, who resigned in May to become the country’s deputy prime minister and foreign minister. Ivanova easily passed the confirmation procedure in Parliament, with an uneventful hearing and approval in plenary by a wide margin.
