CNN —Daniel Maldini became the third generation of his family to represent Italy on Monday, as the Azzurri thrashed Israel 4-1 in the UEFA Nations League. Paolo Maldini made 126 appearances for Italy during his glittering career, making him the third highest capped player for Italy. Cesare Maldini, meanwhile, played 14 times for Italy – his last appearance came over 61 years ago. Italy was already 3-1 up when he was introduced in the second half. Davide Frattesi’s strike and another goal from Di Lorenzo secured the win to ensure Italy remained top of Group A2.

On a recent afternoon, I held a bagel in front of me and said: “Look and tell me if this is healthy.”A monotone voice responded that the bagel was unhealthy because it was high in carbohydrates, which could contribute to weight gain. I wasn’t talking to a tech bro obsessed with the ketogenic diet.

Nov 16 (Reuters) - Slovakia recovered from a goal down to beat Iceland 4-2 at home in Group J on Thursday, becoming the latest country to secure a place at next year's European Championship. Juraj Kucka equalised at the half-hour mark before Ondrej Duda completed the turnaround six minutes later, slotting home a penalty after Kristian Hlynsson fouled him. After the break, Slovakia dominated, with Lukas Haraslin scoring two minutes into the second half and completing his brace eight minutes later with a curled shot from the edge of the box. The victory ensures a top-two finish for Slovakia in Group J along with already-qualified Portugal.

The fourth state that overtly addresses hauntings, New York, is notably also the location of the so-called Ghostbusters case. In that case, the plaintiff wanted to back out of the pending sale and get his deposit back after he found out the house had been widely touted by its owner as a haunted house. A decision ultimately stated that if a seller is broadcasting that a home is haunted, they can’t then say they don’t need to disclose it.

I have profiled owners of special vehicles from around the country nearly every week for the past 10 years. The one question people always ask me is: What kind of car do you drive? They expect Porsches in my garage, but no. On the 10th anniversary of My Ride, I present my family’s humble Subaru Outback, which we call Dougie.

Prescribed burns aren’t always welcomed by communities, however. They generate smoke and sometimes spread out of control. In New Mexico last year, a prescribed fire by the Forest Service blew into a 340,000-acre inferno that destroyed hundreds of homes and became the largest in state history. It prompted Forest Service Chief Randy Moore to suspend all the agency’s planned burns for 90 days. Eddie Moore/Albuquerque Journal/Zuma

Cold water is such a concern that everyone has to wear a wetsuit. “When you get in really cold water, it can shock the body,” guide Claudia Wiese told the four occupants of her raft one day in early June. “So we just want to prevent that by getting in the water ahead of time, so you know what to anticipate.”Soon after, Mike McSweeney, 25, jumped in the frigid water and the guide asked his girlfriend, Kayla Gewecke, 24, to pull him back on the boat.

TAHOE VISTA, Calif.—Like many local residents in this shorefront community, Heidi Hill Drum cherishes the breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe. But one evening earlier this month, she saw something ominous rolling across the cobalt blue waters. “It was Armageddon-like, this massive plume of black smoke,” said Ms. Hill Drum, chief executive officer of the Tahoe Prosperity Center, an economic development group for this region on the California-Nevada border.

Democratul Biden l-a înfrânt pe Trump şi a devenit preşedinte pe 20 ianuarie. Preşedintele Trump a retras Statele Unite din acordul nuclear dintre Iran şi puterile occidentale şi a impus ţării noi sancţiuni. Agenţii ruşi au încercat, de asemenea, ”să racoleze” angajaţi ai companiei energetice ucrainene Burisma, ”probabil într-o încercare de a aduna informaţii legate de familia preşedintelui Biden”, a spus acesta. Hunter Biden a fost membru în consiliul de administraţie al Burisma. De asemenea, a încercat să exacerbeze diviziunile din SUA pe problemele de justiţie rasială, se arată în raport.

☆ Preşedintele ucrainean Volodimir Zelenski vrea dizolvarea Curţii Constituţionale

Preşedintele ucrainean Volodimir Zelenski a propus, vineri, Radei Supreme să dizolve Curtea Constituţională. Propunerea vine ca urmare a deciziei acesteia de a invalida o serie de legi anticorupţie pentru că ar fi „prea severe”, scrie Agerpres. Peste 1.000 de persoane, între care mulţi militanţi anticorupţie, au protestat, vineri, în faţa sediului Curţii Constituţionale împotriva deciziei acesteia. Preşedintele Curţii, Oleksandr Tupitski, a acuzat Preşedinţia că încearcă să pună botniţă instituţiei sale, afirmând că proiectul de lege conţine „semnele unei lovituri de stat”. Denunţând totodată decizia Curţii, opoziţia şi numeroşi experţi au criticat şi proiectul de lege prezidenţial, deoarece Constituţia ucraineană nu prevede posibilitatea destituirii judecătorilor săi printr-un vot parlamentar şi nici anularea deciziei sale.
