PSG and Galtier taking Angers seriously despite mismatch

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:29:48 GMT

PARIS (AP) — The word mismatch seems like an understatement as first-place Paris Saint-Germain visits rock-bottom Angers on Friday.While a victory for PSG would take it another step toward a record 11th league title — one clear of Marseille and Saint-Etienne — Angers appears doomed to relegation.They are an enormous 58 points behind PSG in the championship, with three wins.The chasm is such that Angers has won only once in the past 23 league matches and is 17 points from safety with seven games remaining.The top scorers for Angers are forward Adrien Hunou and Morocco winger Sofiane Bouffal. They have four goals each compared to 20 for PSG’s Kylian Mbappé, who is tied with Lille’s Jonathan David atop the scoring charts.Although PSG has had some poor performances this season and was dominated by Bayern Munich in the round of 16 of the Champions League, losing at Angers would signal a new low for coach Christophe Galtier’s embattled team.“There will be a full stadium,...

Florida eases path for death penalty after Parkland verdict

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:29:48 GMT

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Thursday ending a unanimous jury requirement in death penalty sentencing, a response to a verdict that spared the life of a school shooter who killed 17 people.DeSantis, a Republican, signed the bill in a private ceremony with families of victims of the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre in Parkland.The new law, which went into effect as soon as the governor signed it, allows capital punishment in Florida with a jury recommendation of at least 8-4 in favor of execution. Only three states out of the 27 that impose the death penalty do not require unanimity. Alabama allows a 10-2 decision, and Missouri and Indiana let a judge decide when there is a divided jury.“Once a defendant in a capital case is found guilty by a unanimous jury, one juror should not be able to veto a capital sentence,” DeSantis said in a statement. “I’m proud to sign legislation that will prevent families from having to endure what th...

This time it’s for real.Many of Twitter’s high-profile users are losing the blue check marks that helped verify their identity and distinguish them from impostors on the Elon Musk-owned social media platform.After several false starts, Twitter began making good on its promise Thursday to remove the blue checks from accounts that don’t pay a monthly fee to keep them. Twitter had about 300,000 verified users under the original blue-check system — many of them journalists, athletes and public figures. The checks began disappearing from these users’ profiles late morning Pacific Time.The costs of keeping the marks range from $8 a month for individual web users to a starting price of $1,000 monthly to verify an organization, plus $50 monthly for each affiliate or employee account. Twitter does not verify the individual accounts to ensure they are who they say they are, as was the case with the previous blue check doled out during the platform’s pre-Musk administration.C...
