CAIRO (AP) — Sudan’s warring generals agreed to hold a face-to-face meeting as part of efforts to establish a cease-fire and initiate political talks to end the country’s devastating war, an African regional bloc said Sunday. Meanwhile, Sudan’s government ordered the expulsion of 15 diplomats from the United Arab Emirates over Abu Dhabi’s alleged support of rebel forces.Sudan slipped into chaos after soaring tensions between military chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan and Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, commander of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, exploded into open fighting in mid-April in the capital, Khartoum, and elsewhere across the country.The country has been in turmoil for several years, ever since a popular uprising forced the removal of longtime dictator Omar al-Bashir in 2019. The short-lived transition to democracy was derailed when the two generals joined forces to lead a military coup in October 2021. After they fell out, war followed 18 months later. The c...

Low-speed zone: Europe’s super crops revolution hits bottleneck

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:29:55 GMT

“Would you rather feed gene-edited lettuce to your kids or no lettuce at all?” asks Mónica Álvaro, an agronomist specialized in organic farming.Álvaro is clear: she wouldn’t put plants engineered in a laboratory on her plate, but realizes that some families might have no choice once these products enter the market.In July, the European Commission proposed rules to legalize new gene-editing technologies for crops, exempting them from the hard-fought and ultra-restrictive law on genetically modified organisms (GMO) — often labeled as “frankenfoods” — in a bid to catch up with other regions of the world already embracing these new varieties.Such deregulation was marketed by its proponents as the magic recipe to help farmers produce more and affordable food against the backdrop of a worsening climate crisis and high inflation. Resistance to drought and pests are some of the potential crop traits that Brussels is eyeing.The EU executive stepped on the gas in the hope that this proposal w...

Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” won the Gold Lion, the top prize, at its Venice world premiere and now looms as an Oscar favorite.A bizarre, unsettling, one-of-a-kind odyssey, it gifts Emma Stone with not just a chance for a second Best Actress Oscar but buzz as one actor ready for anything.Stone’s Bella is brought to life as a late 19th century Frankensteinian brain-switching experiment by Willem Dafoe’s mad doctor (he resembles the classic Hollywood monster).A satirical sex comedy and feminist revenge tale, “Poor Things” boasts frequent, unabashed full-out nudity as it traces Bella’s rapid evolution from childhood to maturity.“We had to be confident like the character and have no shame,” Lanthimos, 50, said of his film which costars Mark Ruffalo and Ramy Youssef. “And Emma had to have no shame about her body, nudity, doing those scenes. She understood that right away.”This is the fourth teaming of the Greek writer-director and his unabashedly American star.It works, Stone, 35, sai...

Thursday morning.’ So, it’s a pretty quick and surreal turnaround. But I wouldn’t change it for the world. It was an awesome experience.”This wasn’t Mutryn’s first foray with the Red, White and Blue.
