Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:54:15 GMT

Ankara hasn’t seen sufficient progress from Sweden to support its application to join NATO, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan warned U.S. President Joe Biden in a phone call Sunday ahead of a summit of NATO leaders this week. “Erdoğan stated that Sweden has taken some steps in the right direction by making changes in the anti-terrorism legislation,” Turkey’s communications directorate said in a statement following the bilateral call.But the supporters of “terrorist organizations” — pro-Kurdish groups including the PKK and YPG, which are banned in Turkey — continue to hold demonstrations in Sweden, the statement said. “This nullifies the steps taken,” it said.The call comes ahead of a two-day summit of NATO leaders in Lithuania that starts on Tuesday. Biden has thrown his support behind a push to get a deal done on Sweden at the meeting in Vilnius.Erdoğan’s administration has been blocking Sweden’s hopes of joining the ...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:54:15 GMT

LAS VEGAS — It was drawn up as the feel-good homecoming. A kid from Brooklyn. Grew up rooting for the Knicks. On the day Obi Toppin was drafted, he posted a picture of himself as a child wearing a Latrell Sprewell jersey.“Meant to be,” he captioned the photo.Except, it wasn’t. If anything, Toppin’s tenure in New York was doomed from the start. And on Sunday, the power forward reflected on the disappointing stint while fixed on the better fit in Indiana.“All I can do is just do whatever the coach is asking me to do,” Toppin said when asked if either side could’ve done anything differently to make it work. “Whether that’s being out on the floor, having great energy, doing whatever I need to do to help the team win. I didn’t get the minutes I wanted. But now it’s a fresh start. I’m here in Indy. I got to work for everything I want. And I’m super excited to start.”As he did during his three seasons...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:54:15 GMT

By HOWARD FENDRICH (AP Tennis Writer)WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Top-seeded Iga Swiatek saved two match points Sunday and reached the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the first time with a 6-7 (4), 7-6 (2), 6-3 victory over Belinda Bencic at Centre Court.Swiatek extended her unbeaten run to 14 matches, which includes claiming her fourth Grand Slam title at the French Open last month.Swiatek has won three championships at Roland Garros, and one at the U.S. Open, but she never before had been past the fourth round at the All England Club. Last year, she had a 37-match winning streak snapped during a third-round Wimbledon loss.So comfortable on the red clay of Paris, so capable on the hard courts in New York — and at the Australian Open, where she has made it to the semifinals — Swiatek is just not quite the same player yet on the green grass used at the year’s third Grand Slam tournament.Against the big-hitting Bencic, the singles gold medalist at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, Swiatek certainl...

A last-minute assist has sent Kevin Ackroyd’s life into overtime.While sitting on a patio in downtown Toronto on a warm June day, he thinks back to his life four months earlier when he faced a return to the streets. His home at the time, a room at the Royal Oak Inn that was temporarily converted to a shelter, was set to close. Then came an even more crushing blow: doctors told him he had three months to live after they diagnosed him with stage-four liver cancer.Despondent, he splayed out like a starfish on his bed.“I was getting ready to off myself,” Ackroyd, 61, says. He was broke, addicted to drugs and did not know where he would live.But then came a knock at the door. Starr Dedam, a support worker with an organization that helps Toronto’s homeless population, had come to check on him. “She pulled me out of it,” Ackroyd says. That helping hand came from Kensington Health, a non-profit organization that provides long-term and hospice care among ...
