AC Milan takes 1st formal step to moving away from iconic San Siro and into new stadium

MILAN (AP) — AC Milan took the first formal step Wednesday to moving away from the iconic San Siro, which it shares with Inter Milan, and building a new stadium in the southern part of the city.The Rossoneri announced they had filed a proposal to the council in San Donato to build a 70,000-seater stadium in the city suburb.The move makes it even more likely that both Milan clubs — which play their home games at San Siro in the north-west of the city — will completely abandon their initial plans to build a new stadium on the same site. “For over four years, we have embarked with conviction on a journey aimed at giving our club one of the best stadiums of the world, which is able to accompany us into a victorious and sustainable future,” Milan president Paolo Scaroni said. “This represents a preliminary step in the evolution of this process but, at the same time, it is further proof of our ownership’s commitment to guaranteeing continuous growth for AC Milan both on and off the pitch....

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:39:42 GMT

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A search for seven kidnapped youths in the north-central Mexico state of Zacatecas appeared to come to a tragic end Wednesday when searchers found six bodies and one survivor in a remote area.State prosecutors said the surviving young man was found with serious head wounds. His condition was listed as stable. They said the bodies of six young men were found nearby, but that investigators had not yet confirmed they were the youths abducted from a farm Sunday. The bodies will have to be removed from the roadless site and brought to the state capital for identification. Their relatives had carried out protests earlier this week in the violence-plagued state to demand authorities find them. It was the latest tragic outcome to mass abductions of young people this year.In August, a gruesome video circulated on social media recorded the last moments of five young men kidnapped in the neighboring state of Jalisco.In the video, a pair of bound, inert bodies are seen lying ...

Man City out of the League Cup after 1-0 loss at Newcastle. Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea advance

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:39:42 GMT

NEWCASTLE, England (AP) — Manchester City seems to win every competition it enters these days except the English League Cup.Newcastle beat Man City 1-0 on Wednesday in the third round of the League Cup which also eluded Pep Guardiola’s team during its storied treble last season. Guardiola’s agitation at his team’s first defeat of the season showed by getting a yellow card in the closing minutes for dissent to the match officials.Leaving star starters Erling Haaland, Kyle Walker and Phil Foden on the bench, Man City still dominated the first half without making its possession count with a goal.Alexander Isak struck in the 53rd for Newcastle which also made sweeping lineup changes to rest key players for another midweek fixture sandwiched between two Champions League challenges.The goal was created by Joelinton’s dribble into and across the penalty area past four City defenders before squaring a pass that found Isak alone at the far post.Foden and Jeremy Doku came on in the seco...

Nebraska latest Republican state to expand Medicaid to cover postpartum care for low-income mothers

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:39:42 GMT

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lower-income new mothers will get a full year of Medicaid health care coverage in Nebraska under an order issued Wednesday by Republican Gov. Jim Pillen. The move makes Nebraska the latest in a growing list of Republican-led states that had previously refused to expand postpartum Medicaid coverage beyond the minimum 60 days after women give birth. Conservatives are now largely embracing the change as part of an anti-abortion agenda in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year overturning Roe v. Wade, which for 50 years guaranteed a constitutional right to abortion.Since that ruling, the Nebraska Legislature enacted a 12-week abortion ban, and Pillen has promised to push for a six-week ban next year.State lawmakers passed a bill earlier this year to expand Medicaid’s postpartum coverage to at least six months. Pillen said his order of a full year of coverage is “a significant step in supporting Nebraska’s mothers and children.” Other states that h...

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — New floods following torrential rain swept Wednesday across swathes of central Greece already battered by deadly storms weeks earlier, once again damaging roads, flooding homes and causing power outages in the city of Volos and the island of Evia.At least eight villages were ordered evacuated late Wednesday as floodwaters rose, and road traffic was banned in Volos — a coastal city of about 140,000 — with residents urged to stay indoors.The fire service received hundreds of calls for assistance in Volos and dozens of people were evacuated from flooded homes, but there were no reports of deaths or people missing.
