Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:37:43 GMT
PARIS (AP) — The door looks wide open for Real Madrid to try signing Kylian Mbappé, because Karim Benzema’s sudden departure leaves the Spanish giant short of a star striker.Madrid will hope it’s third time lucky, after Paris Saint-Germain rejected an offer of 180 million euros ($190 million) for Mbappé in 2021. Madrid missed out again last year when Mbappé — amid frenzied speculation that Madrid would get him to join — signed a new three-year deal with PSG until 2025.Now he’s stunned the club by saying he will not trigger a 12-month extension on his contract, which expires at the end of next season.The France superstar confirmed his decision in a letter to PSG, a person with knowledge of the correspondence told The Associated Press on Monday. The person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, also said PSG would not allow Mbappé to leave as a free agent. This immediately raised the possibility of an immediate transfer bidding war by Madrid and other clubs this summer....Slow down: New speed limit signs, transition zones added in downtown Leesburg

The pattern remains unsettled today with scattered storms possible heading into the afternoon. A few of the downpours could produce heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and frequent lightning. However, the pattern will go from stormy to sizzling as drier filters into South Florida. High temperatures are expected to range into the low 90’s and feeling more like the triple digits (between 100-105 degrees) through Father’s Day weekend. Although the air will be drier overall, our primary wind flow will remain out of the South-Southwest to draw up the heat from the tropics. This will maintain a Summer-like pattern through early next week and a good reminder to drink plenty of water, take frequent breaks in the shade, and never leave children or pets unattended in vehicles. Have a wonderful day South Florida and make it a safe one! Vivian GonzalezMeteorologist, AMS Certified WSVN Channel 7Paul McCartney says ‘final’ Beatles song coming thanks to artificial intelligence

(CNN) — When it comes to artificial intelligence, Sir Paul McCartney doesn’t sound like he’s willing to just “Let It Be.”In an interview with BBC Radio 4’s “Today” program released Tuesday, the legendary musician and former Beatle was asked about AI and how it’s been used to make his voice sound younger – and to resurrect the voices of fellow band members John Lennon and George Harrison who died in 1980 and 2001, respectively.And he revealed there’s a “new” Beatles tune coming, thanks to the technology.“When we came to make what will be the last Beatles record – it was a demo that John had that we worked on and we just finished it up, it will be released this year – and we were able to take John’s voice and get it pure through this AI,” McCartney said. “So then we were able to mix the record as you would normally do.”While McCartney’s not on the internet much, he said, he’s aware of AI being used to do things like have Lennon sing one of his songs – which he...Trump will face judge in historic court appearance over charges he hoarded secret documents

By ERIC TUCKER and ALANNA DURKIN RICHER (Associated Press)MIAMI (AP) — Donald Trump is expected to become Tuesday the first former president to face a judge on federal charges as the city of Miami prepared for possible protests by crowds that officials said could number in the tens of thousands.Trump approached his history-making court date with characteristic bravado, insisting as he has through years of legal woes that he has done nothing wrong and was being persecuted for political purposes. But the gravity of the moment was unmistakable as he answers to 37 felony counts that accuse him of willfully retaining classified records that prosecutors say could have jeopardized national security if exposed, then trying to hide them from investigators who demanded them back.The case is laden with political implications for Trump, who currently holds the dominant spot in the early days of the 2024 Republican presidential primary. But it also poses profound legal consequences given t...Latest news
