Mbappé’s twice-taken penalty helps France beat Greece in Euro qualifying

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:43:05 GMT

PARIS (AP) — Kylian Mbappé’s twice-taken penalty moved him one goal behind Michel Platini on France’s all-time scoring list as Greece was beaten 1-0 in European Championship qualifying on Monday.The win gave World Cup runner-up France a fourth straight win without conceding a goal in Group B.It also gave Mbappé 54 goals over the season combined for France and Paris Saint-Germain to beat the overall mark set by the late Just Fontaine in the 1957-58 season — the year Fontaine set an individual scoring record with 13 goals at the ’58 World Cup.Mbappé almost turned provider when his cross from the left was headed wide by Randal Kolo Muani midway through the first half.That allowed the Greeks to settle easier on a humid night at Stade de France, and coach Gus Poyet’s side started to look comfortable bringing the ball out from the back.Another fluffed chance from the French saw defender Jules Koundé volley straight at the goalkeeper from Kingsley Coman’s cros...

UK lawmakers back scathing report that slammed Boris Johnson over ‘partygate’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:43:05 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Britain’s House of Commons on Monday resoundingly endorsed a report that found Boris Johnson lied to lawmakers about lockdown-flouting parties in his office, a humiliating censure that strips the former prime minister of his lifetime access to Parliament.Lawmakers backed the finding that Johnson was in contempt of Parliament by 354 votes to 7, after a debate in which many argued it was crucial to show voters that politicians are obliged to follow the rules and tell the truth.“It is important to show the public that there is not one rule for them and another for us,” said Conservative Party lawmaker Theresa May, Johnson’s predecessor as prime minister.Opening the five-hour debate, House of Commons Leader Penny Mordaunt urged lawmakers to “do what they think is right.” Mordaunt, a Conservative like Johnson, said she would vote to endorse the report by the Commons’ Privileges Committee.“This matters because the integrity of our institutions matter.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:43:05 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — While Colorado is electing historically high levels of Democrats to public office, its voters have never been less partisan on paper. Colorado's congressional delegation has never leaned more Democratic following last year's elections. Since 2007, there have been 11 years where Democrats have the governorship and control of both houses of the state legislature. In May, Republicans lost mayoral control of long-held conservative bastion Colorado Springs when voters elected independent Yemi Mobolade. Fewer Colorado voters registering as Republican The Coloradans electing Democrats consider themselves less Democratic than ever, however, as well as less Republican than ever. As of June 1, nearly half (47%) of Colorado's active registered voters were registered as "unaffiliated," the highest share of any June on record. As recently as 2015, about a third (35%) of Colorado's voters were registered as independents. That share grew quickly beginning in the late 2010s and h...
