9+ hour, 19+ min ago (707+ words) Police in Bristol who arrested 30 people for silently holding up signs said they tried to explain to them before they arrested them that what the sign said constituted a criminal offence. The mass arrest on College Green took more than three hours on Saturday afternoon as police officers arrested one protester after another and led or carried them away to waiting police vans. The protest was part of a national campaign to challenge the Government's decision back in June to proscribe the direct action protest group Palestine Action. The protesters lined up and wrote on signs the words: "I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action'. Many of those being arrested told officers that the police themselves were breaking the law for being complicit in genocide in relation to Israel's military action in Gaza. A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset police…...

20+ hour, 11+ min ago (515+ words) Marc Cucurella to commit two or more fouls Eberechi Eze to have three or more shots Pays out at 5-1 with bet365 Chelsea collected a record 109 cards in the 2023-24 Premier League season before picking up 99 bookings and two red cards in their first campaign under Enzo Maresca. Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, defenders Malo Gusto and Trevoh Chalobah and forwards Joao Pedro and Liam Delap have all been sent off for the Blues this term so over 4.5 cards looks a solid Bet Builder selection. Delap's needless dismissal in October's EFL Cup win at Wolves angered Maresca although the Chelsea boss was himself sent off while celebrating a late winner against Liverpool earlier in the month." The last three meetings between Chelsea and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge featured seven, six and six yellow cards and there were six bookings in the Blues' 1-0 victory at London…...

1+ day, 1+ hour ago (345+ words) Fishery biologists expect another strong year for sockeye salmon in southwestern Alaska's Bristol Bay region, site of the world's largest runs of the fish, also known as red salmon. Next year's run is not expected to equal the magnitude of the huge runs in some recent record-breaking and near-record years, however, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game's preseason forecast. The forecast, released earlier this month, predicts a return of 45.32 million Bristol Bay sockeye salmon next year, enough to support a harvest of 33.5 million fish. This year's Bristol Bay run totaled 56.7 million fish, and the harvest totaled 41.2 million fish. The record highs were set in 2022, when a run of 79 million sockeye salmon supported a harvest of just over 60 million fish. If the 2026 forecast proves to be accurate, that would place next year's Bristol Bay sockeye run below the…...

1+ day, 3+ hour ago (347+ words) The Connecticut Sun went into somewhat of a rebuild phase throughout the 2025 season, with much of their roster being tailored towards younger players and ensuring they had the opportunity to develop and get accustomed to the WNBA level. With that said, the record they put out is certainly something they will be looking to improve upon in 2026. With two first-round picks, they are able to make some more additions to the roster that should help out with the depth of the squad. To do so, they will need to analyze what the team needs, and in 2025, it became abundantly clear what the franchise needed heading into their next campaign. The biggest struggle for the Sun compared to the other teams in the WNBA was their 3-point shooting, as in the year they ended up with only a 30.2% rate on 3-point…...

1+ day, 3+ hour ago (499+ words) HARTFORD, Conn. " The state of Connecticut secured a "complete victory" over ExxonMobil earlier this week, according to Attorney General William Tong. On Wednesday in Hartford, Connecticut Superior Court Judge John Farley fully denied ExxonMobil's motion to strike the state's case against the company for its alleged lies about the negative environmental impacts of its products. A release from Tong's office claims that the state brought ExxonMobil to court because of its "decades of deceit regarding climate change." Court documents show that the state specifically alleges that ExxonMobil used unfair and deceptive trade practices associated with its sale and marketing of fossil fuel products in Connecticut. State prosecutors say that ExxonMobil violated the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act by engaging in a "systematic campaign of deception" for decades regarding the impact of its fossil fuel products on the earth's climate.

1+ day, 15+ hour ago (936+ words) Towns will decide where their housing belongs. The old parking lots, abandoned mills, half-empty office buildings, and shuttered suburban malls that have blighted areas across the state can be turn" This week's housing news reported that a controversial New York developer had been shot down by Bethel in its plan to build attainably priced apartments following failed efforts in Granby and Manchester, as well as success in Avon, Cheshire and New London with appeals in Rocky Hill, Simsbury, and West Hartford. For several decades, municipalities have admirably strived to solve the challenge of developing more affordable housing in and around town centers. Their efforts, however, have proven to be too slow in the best of cases or ineffective in most instances. The "Not in My Backyard" (NIMBY) movement and its allied lobbies often weaponize state and local laws and use…...
