Sunday’s series finale at Coors Field didn’t come without a little drama.Both teams’ benches cleared in the seventh inning of the Rockies-Phillies game in an incident sparked by one of the game’s best players and a Rockies reliever.The skirmish began when Jake Bird clapped his glove in the direction of the Phillies dugout after Bird got the Rockies out of the top of the seventh. Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper took exception, charging out of the visiting dugout and screaming at Bird.The benches cleared in the 7th inning. pic.twitter.com/Ag1TZDVHHW— NBC Sports Philadelphia (@NBCSPhilly) May 14, 2023It was unclear if Bird was clapping at a Philadelphia fan sitting in the stands or at the perennial all-star Harper, who already had his fingerprints all over the Phillies’ first two wins of the series. But Harper wasn’t happy, and after running towards the Rockies dugout and continuing to shout at Bird, the right-hander motioned to Harper to bri...

I’ve been telling guys about it here, it was a rebound opportunity, that’s really what it is,” Patrick told The Post. “I was just in there talking to someone in the steam room and I was just telling him, ‘Bro, I remember my first couple of years in the (NFL) playing and then getting cut...

Does aid to Ukraine deprive the European Union’s freedom?

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:02:32 GMT

Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, a deputy in the National Assembly (DLF), leader of the party "Get up, France", and ex-candidate for the presidency of France believes that the current leadership of the country has lost freedom of decision, has fallen into dependency on the United States and spends money that should have been spent on itself, to fund Kyiv.

The Western partner has provided financial, humanitarian, and military support. Particularly, from their national budgets and the EU budget, Ukraine has received almost 60 billion euros of aid, 10 of which – for Ukrainians who left the country and fled the war to the European Union. Additionally, the EU has allocated over 500 million euros for humanitarian aid for civilians affected by the war.The EU has already allocated 3.6 billion euros through the European Peace Fund to strengthen the capabilit...

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:02:32 GMT

The President of Azerbaijan and the Prime Minister of Armenia have held talks in Brussels facilitated by the President of the European Council Charles Michel. This positive development saw progress on border and transportation issues after earlier talks with President Michel stalled when Armenia refused to participate in a meeting last December, writes Political Editor Nick Powell.Charles Michel’s efforts to help Azerbaijan and Armenia agree to a lasting peace were put on hold at the end of last year when Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan refused to attend a further meeting in Brussels with Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev. But patience by the European Union -and by Azerbaijan- has been rewarded with a meeting that went ahead on 14 March.It seems that some progress was made in Brussels in the dispute between the two countries. It is primarily over the Karabakh region, which lies within Azerbaijan’s internationally recognised boundaries but has brought devastation to a much ...
