DENVER (KDVR) — At the Modera Art Park apartments in Denver's River North Art District, boarded-up windows and shards of glass still line the street, the result of a Sunday night rampage, according to tenants.Video and photos show a man throwing rocks through windows and slashing tires in the apartment garage. But tenants say this wasn't just any random person — instead, a tenant who's still being allowed to live at the complex. Who is cutting the tails off these horses? "It's just become a nightmare," Lacey Enlow said. "How he is still allowed to come here is baffling."Records show the man has been arrested multiple times since mid-July on counts including burglary, assault and felony menacing. Denver Police are declining to comment because of pending cases.A broken window at the Modera Art Park apartments in Denver on Aug. 9, 2023.

LONDON — There can be no global security unless the world hits its climate targets, the U.K. Energy Secretary has said, as he announced plans to host an international summit on energy security next year.Grant Shapps told POLITICO that the London conference on energy security, penciled in for spring 2024 to coincide with the second anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, will focus on averting another global energy crisis like that experienced in 2022 or the oil shocks of the 1970s.It will also include discussions about the need to “diversify from fossil fuels,” he said.“We can’t have global security without net zero,” Shapps said. “There’s no global security if millions of people are having to uproot because of weather patterns.”His comments will reignite tensions within the ruling Conservative Party about the wisdom of Britain’s 2050 carbon neutrality target, which has been the subject of much internal debate following a parliamentary by-election l...Chianti, steak and a windfall tax fiasco: How Italy botched its raid on banks
Published Thu, 31 Oct 2024 23:47:24 GMT
On Sunday evening, the two cantankerous populists at the top of Italy’s government met in a Tuscan trattoria for dinner, with their families in tow. Over glasses of Chianti and rare Florentine steak, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and her garrulous deputy, Matteo Salvini, put on a show of unity intended to demonstrate that their frequent arguments were not serious and that the government was heading serenely into the summer break. The next day, everything blew up. In a late-night press conference on Monday, Salvini shocked international markets and his own colleagues by announcing a 40 percent windfall tax on banks’ profits, which have rocketed amid soaring interest rates. In the hours that followed, investors balked, bankers howled in protest as their share prices nosedived, and analysts warned that the knock-on impact on Italy’s precariously-placed economy could be severe. A day later, Meloni’s government was forced into a humiliating climbdown as it tried ...Luis Severino struggles out of bullpen as Yankees lose series to White Sox

A move to the bullpen proved to be no relief for the Yankees’ Luis Severino.The right-hander struggled through yet another rough outing in Wednesday night’s 9-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox, surrendering four runs on five hits over two-plus innings.The Yankees opened the road game with reliever Ian Hamilton, hoping that using Severino out of the bullpen would take pressure off the 29-year-old after back-to-back brutal starts.But Severino ran into immediate trouble when he entered in a scoreless game to begin the second inning. He allowed three runs in that frame — including two on a 430-foot home run by Oscar Colas — before serving up an RBI double to Yoan Moncada in the third inning.Severino issued a leadoff walk in the fourth inning and was removed from the game. The two-time All-Star fell to 2-7, while his ERA inflated to 8.06.“I’m just having the worst year of my life in baseball,” Severino said afterward. “I have to continue.

A Red Sox game has to be really weird to stand out in this season full of wild weather, baffling errors, and too many injuries.Wednesday night was weird.In the words of Bill Hader’s iconic and delightfully odd “Saturday Night Live” character, Stefon, this 4-3 Boston victory had everything:Yellow Sox, a big anniversary for Rafael Devers, a clutch rookie bomb, Nick Pivetta screaming triumphantly, and a big busted bulb.Let’s review in reverse order.In the top of the second, viewers were treated to the rarest of rare Fenway Park oddities when a 96.6 mph line drive by Kyle Isbel punched through the red cover of the light which indicates the first out of an inning on the Green Monster’s historic scoreboard.The hit was ruled a ground-rule double, but one unlike any seen at Major League Baseball’s oldest ballpark in decades; the most recent incident the Herald could find occurred during warmups in 2015.The venerable Joe Castiglione, who’s been broad...Biden welcoming Australian leader to White House for state dinner in October

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden will welcome Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to the White House on Oct. 25 for the visit and state dinner that the U.S. promised when Biden had to scrap a stop in Australia earlier this year to focus on debt limit talks in Washington.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement Wednesday that the visit would “underscore the deep and enduring alliance between the United States and Australia and the two nations’ shared commitment to supporting an open, stable and prosperous Indo-Pacific.”Biden last May curtailed an Asia-Pacific trip that was to have included stops in Australia and Papua New Guinea because he needed to return to Washington because of the debt limit crisis.The scuttling of two of the three legs of the overseas trip — Biden did visit Japan for a Group of Seven summit with leaders of some of the world’s major economies — was a foreign policy setback for an administration that has made putting a g...China sends ships and fighter jets toward Taiwan in new show of force

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — China sent navy ships and a large group of fighter jets toward Taiwan, continuing its military pressure on the island, Taiwan’s defense ministry said Thursday.China claims self-ruled Taiwan as its own territory and has regularly sent flights toward the island in reaction to the island’s political activities. In the past year, it has also sent navy vessels as well as drones to circle the waters near the island.Taiwan’s defense ministry said the Chinese People’s Liberation Army sent 33 warplanes and 6 navy vessels between 6 a.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Thursday. The J-10 and J-16 fighter jets flew across the midline and to the southwest of Taiwan. The ministry said in an earlier statement Wednesday that Taiwan’s military tracked five of the ships as they sailed in coordination with the flights of the fighter jets.The ministry said it used land-based missile systems to track the aircraft, 10 of which crossed the midline of the Taiwan Strait, an unoff...Stock market today: Asian shares mostly slip as markets brace for US inflation report

TOKYO (AP) — Asian benchmarks mostly fell Thursday after shares declined on Wall Street and investors braced for a highly anticipated report on U.S. inflation.The U.S. government later in the day will give the latest monthly update on inflation the nation’s consumers are experiencing, and economists expect to see an acceleration to 3.3% in July from 3% in June. Tina Teng, markets analyst at CMC Markets, called the looming U.S. update “a pivotal event for global markets.” Inflation in China also remains a huge concern. “A slowdown in consumer spending and high-interest rates remain issues for the global economy,” said Teng. Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 added less than 0.1% to 32,230.70 in morning trading. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 shed nearly 0.1% to 7,331.90. South Korea’s Kospi lost 0.4% to 2,594.10.
