Nowhere to run to: As Russia bombards Kyiv, 3 die after being locked out of shelter

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:29:03 GMT

KYIV — Ukrainians seeking shelter from Russia’s bombardment of Kyiv in the early hours of Thursday morning had nowhere to run to after they were locked out of a bomb shelter amid the wail of air raid sirens. At least three people, including a child, were killed and 19 injured, according to Ukrainian authorities.Russia launched seven ballistic and three Iskander cruise missiles from the Bryansk region bordering Ukraine, Kyiv’s air forces said, but though air defenses shot them all down, debris hit a hospital and numerous residential buildings, leading to the casualties.With Russia increasing the frequency and ferocity of its missile attacks on Kyiv and other cities and towns around Ukraine, residents have less time to seek safety in the bomb shelters that have sprung up around the country in the wake of Moscow’s full-scale invasion. In the early hours of Thursday, when most residents were in their homes, many asleep, the missiles arrived less than five minutes ...

Italy eyes ECB board seat gamble

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:29:03 GMT

FRANKFURT — The European Central Bank’s six-member strong executive board may welcome a new face later this year in a reshuffle that could see power shift from old, large member states to newer, smaller ones. Italian executive board member Fabio Panetta has been on the ECB’s executive board since 2020 but is thought by many to be sitting on packed bags, awaiting a move back to Rome to become the Governor of the Bank of Italy when Ignazio Visco retires in November. “It has been signaled for a long time that he would most likely follow Visco,” a former Eurosystem official said.The trouble is that the move could jeopardize Italy’s claim to one of the six top jobs in Frankfurt, reducing its influence over devising policies and robbing it of an extra vote on the policy-setting Governing Council.Officially, the ECB’s board is selected strictly on merit, irrespective of nationality. However, historically, the six-member strong executive board has always included representatives of th...

Hot Start To June, Weekend Temp Crash

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:29:03 GMT

Chalk up another beauty of a day yesterday as highs drifted up into the 70s and 80s during the afternoon with sunshine and low humidity. The low humidity allowed for another comfortable overnight last night and a pleasant start this morning. Areas of fog across the Cape and Islands will burn off by mid morning, providing a mostly sunny day. With the sunshine in place, temps take off today, heading for the upper 80s to lower 90s this afternoon. At the coast, it’ll be a bit cooler, with localized sea breezes as beach temps run in the mid 70s to mid 80s. Tomorrow, temps are similar, although we’ll track some scattered showers/storms in the afternoon. Once they get going, we’ll cool off, and cool off substantially by the evening as temps drop into the 50s/60s shortly after sunset with the wind kicking in out of the northeast. With an area of low pressure developing just to our east, the gusty northeast wind prevails both Saturday and Sunday as showers back in from time...

Battenfeld: Massachusetts lawmakers passing few laws good news for beleaguered citizens

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:29:03 GMT

The shocking news that the do-nothing, Democratic-dominated Massachusetts Legislature has passed only 10 laws this year is actually great news for beleaguered taxpayers.Two handfuls? Even that’s too much for our lawmakers, whose favorite thing is to meddle with voter-approved laws and saddle citizens with even more taxes.The less ridiculous bills House Speaker Ron Mariano and Senate President Karen Spilka conjure up and tell their flunkies to vote for, the better for us all.The 10 laws passed this year, most of them minor, are the least in decades, but if you look at the numbers, this is not surprising.The Massachusetts Legislature regularly delays business until the very end of the two-year session, when it usually passes a flurry of ill-conceived and little-studied bills that lawmakers don’t even read. Asking them to pass laws this early in the year is a bit much for our overworked representatives.And getting them to meet in the summer or on Mondays and Fridays or during vacation ...

Massachusetts assault weapons ban targeted in federal suit

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:29:03 GMT

A national gun rights group has asked a federal judge to immediately halt the state’s longstanding ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines while the court decides whether the law should stand at all.The National Association for Gun Rights, a Colorado-based Second Amendment advocacy group, on Tuesday was heard by First Circuit U.S. District Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV in their attempt to overturn a 1998 assault weapons weapon ban made a permanent law in 2004 by then-Gov. Mitt Romney.“Massachusetts has been directly violating the Second Amendment for decades,” NAGR President Dudley Brown said. “Under Bruen, there is no doubt in my mind the days of Romney’s Assault Weapons Ban are numbered. The National Association for Gun Rights will see to it that the rights of the people of Massachusetts are restored.”The gun rights group says that their lawsuit comes following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, which str...
