Bridge: Nov. 15, 2023 “If one of your plants is feeling down, do you photosympathize?” — graffitiAt today’s 6NT, South took dummy’s queen of spades, cashed the A-K of hearts, then led a club: deuce, king, ace. South won the spade return in dummy and tried a diamond to his jack. The finesse worked, and he was home.“I could duck the first club,” West said. “Then declarer must guess whether to finesse in diamonds or try for a second club trick. But for all I knew, he had the queen of diamonds, not the queen of clubs.”Would you have sympathy for West?ACE OF CLUBSI wouldn’t. South surely had at least four diamonds. If his hand were K54,1076,KQ83,K97, he would test the hearts, then try the diamonds. That approach would lose only if East started with four diamonds and the ace of clubs.An expert declarer might possibly lead a club to his king if he lacked the queen; West might duck, and even if he took the ace, he might not return a club. But that was t...

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 10:52:35 GMT

The Gaza Siege: A Harsh Spotlight on the West’s Moral Bankruptcy Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said recently on CNN, “It’s not only our war, it’s your war too.” He was right: The Biden administration has armed, funded, and supported Netanyahu every step of the way as Israel wages a campaign of terror bombings against Gaza. In five weeks of sustained Israeli airstrikes and ground operations, one in 200 residents of Gaza has been killed. Of the more than 11,000 deaths, 4,600 of them are children. President Joe Biden remains entrenched in his support for the scorched-earth campaign of his “great, great friend” Netanyahu. This week on Intercepted, independent journalist Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Jeremy Scahill discuss the horrors facing the people of Gaza and the history of Biden’s support for some of the most extreme actions of Israel. They discuss the unprecedented killing of journalists in Gaza and the violent campaign being waged by Netanyahu-backed Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank. Kouddous also discusses Isra...

UK top court says a plan to send migrants to Rwanda is unlawful because they would be at risk LONDON (AP) — Britain’s Supreme Court has ruled that the government’s contentious plan to send some migrants on a one-way trip to Rwanda is illegal.Five justices on the country’s top court said Wednesday that asylum-seekers would be “at real risk of ill-treatment” because they could be sent back to their home countries once they were in Rwanda.The ruling is a major blow to a key government policy that has drawn international attention and criticism.Britain and Rwanda signed a deal in April 2022 to send some migrants who arrive in the U.K. across the English Channel to the East African country, where their asylum claims would be processed and, if successful, they would stay. No one has yet been sent to the country as the plan was challenged in the courts.THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.LONDON (AP) — Britain’s highest court is set to rule Wednesday on whether the government’s plan to send asylum-seekers to Rwanda is legal, delivering a boost or a blow ...

ICC defends pitch switch for first semifinal at the Cricket World Cup between host India and NZ MUMBAI, India (AP) — The International Cricket Council defended a late pitch switch for the first of the Cricket World Cup semifinals between host India and New Zealand.The pitch for the match at the Wankhede stadium has been in the spotlight, with unconfirmed reports that the Indian team management requested the pitch used for the Australia-Afghanistan game on Nov. 7, and not a fresh, unused wicket.The No. 7 pitch was slated for use at this semifinal but was changed to No. 6 at a late stage.“Changes to planned pitch rotations are common towards the end of an event of this length, and has already happened a couple of times,” the ICC said. “This change was made on the recommendation of the venue curator in conjunction with our host.”There is no grass cover on the pitch, yet it should aid the batters again.“A World Cup semi should be played on a fresh pitch … It’s as simple as that,” former England skipper Michael Vaughan said on X, formerly known as Twitter. ___AP cricket: http...
