ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — A suicide bomber detonated an explosive device in the heart of the Turkish capital, Ankara, while a second assailant was killed in a shootout with police Sunday, the interior minister said. The attack occurred hours before Turkey’s Parliament was set to reopen after its three-month summer recess with an address by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.Two police officers were slightly wounded in the bombing near an entrance to the Ministry of Interior Affairs, minister Ali Yerlikaya said on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. Assailants who arrived at the scene inside a light commercial vehicle carried out the attack, he said.“Our heroic police officers, through their intuition, resisted the terrorists as soon as they got out of the vehicle,” Yerlikaya later told reporters. “One of them blew himself up, while the other one was shot in the head before he had a chance to blow himself up.”“Our fight against terrorism, their collaborators, the (d...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:58:07 GMT

LONDON (AP) — U.S. support for Ukraine remains “unwaveringly strong” despite news that the stop-gap budget Congress passed to avert a federal government shutdown will not include new financial support for Kyiv, a Ukrainian official said Sunday.Oleg Nikolenko, a spokesperson for Ukraine’s Foreign Affairs Ministry, said a shutdown could have impacted ongoing aid programs but that the temporary budget would not affect the billions of dollars of financial assistance already pledged by lawmakers in Washington.“Support for Ukraine remains unwaveringly strong both in the U.S. administration, in both parties, in the houses of the U.S. Congress and most importantly, among the American people,” Nikolenko wrote on social media.The omission of additional Ukrainian aid from the shortr-term funding bill, which aims to keep the federal government running until Nov. 17, has raised concerns for a country that relies heavily on Western support in its fight against Russia’s ongoing invasion.A little m...

Costco CEO comments on possible membership price hike: 'You'll see it happen'

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:58:07 GMT

(NEXSTAR) – As ever, the chief financial officer of Costco remains vague about any plans to increase membership fees. But make no mistake: The price hikes are coming.“It’s a question of when, not if,” Costco CFO Richard Galanti said during an earnings call last week, echoing previous statements he’s made in past calls.“You know, it's a little longer this time around since June of '17, so we're six years into it,” he added, referring to the last time Costco raised fees in 2017 (up from $55 to $60 for Gold Star members, and from $110 to $120 for executive memberships). “But you'll see it happen at some point. We can’t really tell you if it’s in our plans or not.” Costco crackdown: Can people in my household still use my Costco membership? In the 15 years prior to 2017’s membership increase, Costco had raised fees every five years and seven months, on average, as Galanti himself noted in a 2022 earnings call. If that trend had held steady, another price hike would have taken effect i...
