KYIV ­— The European Commission’s recommendation that Ukraine start formal talks to become a member of the EU afforded a rare moment of joy to a country fighting off an invasion by Russia, Olga Stefanishyna, Ukrainian deputy prime minister, said Thursday. “Ukraine inspired Europe” and the EU “returned the faith,” added Stefanishyna, whose portfolio includes European and Euro-Atlantic integration.However, much work remains ahead of a December European Council meeting, at which EU leaders will decide whether to back the Commission’s advice.Ukraine will have to persuade EU countries such as Hungary, which has threatened to block negotiations on its accession to the bloc as long as a language law that Budapest says affects the Hungarian minority in Ukraine remains in force, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in an interview with NOS on Tuesday.Although the Commission’s enlargement report acknowledged that Kyiv has made tremendous progress on reforming the coun...

France condemns Russian disinformation campaign linked to Stars of David graffiti

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:23:28 GMT

PARIS — France on Thursday condemned what officials termed a Russian destabilization effort that amplified online the appearance of dozens of Stars of David graffiti on buildings across Paris.According to a press statement by the Foreign Affairs Ministry, a Russian network associated with online disinformation campaigns, Recent Reliable News (RRN/Doppelgänger), was involved in posting the first photos of the graffiti and in amplifying their circulation on social media. French digital watchdog Viginum detected a network of more than 1,000 bots on X (formerly Twitter), which published more than 2,500 posts on the Stars of David tags last Monday. Four people — including a Moldovan couple arrested last week — are suspected of painting more than 250 blue Stars of David across the French capital, acts likely to fuel unrest in France amid a surge of antisemitic acts since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said on Tuesday th...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:23:28 GMT

The number of families housed in the state’s emergency shelter system hit Gov. Maura Healey’s limit on Thursday afternoon, triggering a new regulation that will allow the shelter system to begin to turn people away.Meanwhile, temperatures are dropping and there’s no agreement among Beacon Hill Democrats on standing up an overflow shelter site.As of Thursday there were 7,517 families enrolled in the system, according to state data. Of those, 37 enrolled in the last 24 hours.That’s 17 families over Healey’s 7,500 family cap, as a flood of immigrant arrivals has strained shelters over the past year and more than doubled the number of families the state has been required to house under its 1983 right-to-shelter law.State emergency assistance director L. Scott Rice announced the system hit the limit on Thursday afternoon.“Today, the family shelter system has reached 7,500 families, and we are at the point where we do not have enough shelter units,...

Should you buy travel insurance for holiday travel?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:23:28 GMT

By Amrita Jayakumar | NerdWalletHoliday travel can be taxing even without the added stress of disruptions such as cancellations, flight delays or lost bags.Last winter, Southwest Airlines’ holiday travel meltdown left millions of travelers stranded and angry. Travelers were still filing for compensation for ruined trips weeks later. Consumer complaints against U.S. airlines to the Department of Transportation in February 2023 increased sixfold compared with February 2019, forcing the agency to temporarily stop reporting more data as it processes complaints.Despite the chaos, holiday travel shows no signs of slowing down this year. About 50% of Americans plan to pay for flights or hotel stays this holiday season, according to a NerdWallet survey conducted by The Harris Poll in September among over 2,000 U.S. adults. They will be referred to as “2023 holiday travelers” going forward.More than a third of 2023 holiday travelers (35%) say they will keep their usual holiday travel p...

What I learned about modern romance from watching ABC’s ‘Golden Bachelor’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:23:28 GMT

Yes, he is charming and handsome in a boyish way for a 72-year-old man.No, I would not go on national television to try to win his heart.But 22 single senior women had a different take.From as far east as New Jersey, as far south as Florida and as close to home as Sierra Madre and Downey, these women stepped up to stake their claim on the first-ever Golden Bachelor, Gerry Turner, star of ABC’s new addition to their reality dating franchise.A widower after a 43-year marriage, the retired restaurateur from Hudson Indiana, melts our hearts with his vulnerability as he talks about missing his wife and hopes for finding love again.I admit to being skeptical about the show while holding out hope that it would give a realistic view of later-life romance that might eschew the stereotypes. The debut episode began with Gerry putting in his hearing aids as he gets ready to meet the women vying for his attention.When two of these women, who were obviously deeply interested in Gerry, left the sh...
