Attempted break-ins have Upland neighborhood on alert

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:16:31 GMT

Residents of an Upland neighborhood are on edge after a series of attempted break-ins over the weekend, with one person waking up to someone trying to kick the door of his home in.  Home surveillance cameras captured what appears to be the same man banging on different doors in the neighborhood and then running off when he sees either the video doorbell or realizes that someone is inside the home.  The suspect does the same thing at least three times Friday night on Ukiah Way in Upland. Neighbors told KTLA that there were also three to four other people inside a car on the street that was waiting for the suspected robber.  One resident, Richard Castellano, said the man his surveillance cameras captured appeared to be casing the street before them approaching his front door. “The gentleman who was at my door was in a hoodie and sweats, and he saw my doorbell ring and the light went off and he took off. So, I was very fortunate,” he said. “You hear about this happe...

ANÁLISIS | Por qué la segunda acusación de Trump puede no hundirle en 2024

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:16:31 GMT

(CNN) — Las pruebas de la acusación contra Donald Trump por su presunta mala gestión de documentos clasificados tras dejar el cargo pueden parecer “asombrosas”.El caso supone la primera vez que un expresidente es acusado ante un tribunal federal y apenas la segunda vez que un expresidente es acusado en cualquier lugar (después del propio Trump, a principios de este año en un tribunal del condado de Nueva York).Lo que hace que los cargos sean aún más ahistóricos es que llegan en un momento en el que Trump se presenta a las elecciones presidenciales. ¿Cómo influirá esta nueva acusación en la campaña electoral?Digamos que debemos ser, al menos inicialmente, escépticos de que Trump vaya a ser penalizado en las encuestas.Una encuesta de ABC News/Washington Post realizada a principios de mayo preguntaba si Trump debería enfrentarse a cargos penales por sus presuntas acciones con los documentos clasificados. La mayoría de los estadounidenses (54%) dijo que debería hacerlo...

From GPS-guided bombs to electronic warfare, Russia improves its weaponry in Ukraine

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:16:31 GMT

Ukrainian troops are probing Russian defenses as spring gives way to a second summer of fighting, and Kyiv’s forces are facing an enemy that has made mistakes and suffered setbacks in the 15-month-old war. But analysts say Moscow also has learned from those blunders and improved its weapons and skills.Russia has built heavily fortified defenses along the 1,000-kilometer (600-mile) front line, honed its electronic weapons to reduce Ukraine’s edge in combat drones, and turned heavy bombs from its massive Cold-War-era arsenal into precision-guided gliding munitions capable of striking targets without putting its warplanes at risk.The changing Russian tactics along with increased troop numbers and improved weaponry could make it challenging for Ukraine to score any kind of quick decisive victory, threatening to turn it into a long battle of attrition.U.S. Joint Chiefs chairman Gen. Mark Milley said in an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday that while Ukraine’...

Food prices are squeezing Europe. Now Italians are calling for a pasta protest

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:16:31 GMT

MILAN (AP) — When it comes to skyrocketing pasta prices, Italians are crying: Basta!They have had enough after the cost of the staple of every Italian table soared by twice the rate of inflation. One consumer advocate group is calling for a weeklong national pasta strike starting June 22 after the Rome government held a crisis meeting last month and decided not to intervene on prices. “The macaroni strike is to see if keeping pasta on the shelves will bring down the prices, in the great Anglo-Saxon tradition of boycotting goods,” said Furio Truzzi, president of the group, Assoutenti. “The price of pasta is absolutely out of proportion with production costs.”Grocery prices have risen more sharply in Europe than in other advanced economies — from the U.S. to Japan — driven by higher energy and labor costs and the impact of Russia’s war in Ukraine. That is even though costs for food commodities have fallen for months from record highs, including wheat for the flour used to make p...

A Delta airlines crew member was taken to the hospital after an emergency-slide deployed inside the aircraft on Saturday.  The Los Angeles bound flight, which originated in New York, initially had to divert to Salt Lake City due to a mechanical issue.
