Protests erupt in Havana as Cuba struggles to restore electricity

-
By Dave Sherwood and Ayose Naranjo Reuters Scattered protests broke out across Havana on Tuesday evening, with residents banging pots, honking horns and shouting “turn on the lights” as millions ‌of Cubans remained without power amid a six-month-long U.S. fuel blockade. Cuba experienced a nationwide outage on ‌Monday — its third this year — but while authorities said most of the country had been reconnected to the island’s grid by late ​Tuesday, many remained in the dark and without electricity as the island doesn’t have enough fuel. The country’s grid operator UNE said it had reconnected the grid from Pinar del Rio, in far western Cuba, to Holguin in the east. Santiago de Cuba, the island’s second-largest city, remained disconnected and without power, authorities said. The U.S. in January ‌cut off Cuba’s fuel supply, then ⁠imposed fresh sanctions that have prompted an exodus of foreign businesses and a near-complete collapse o...

Where, when, how to watch St. Louis CITY SC's playoff debut

-

ST. LOUIS - A big moment in St. Louis soccer history - the first playoff game of St. Louis CITY SC - is set for Sunday evening.

St. Louis CITY SC will host Sporting Kansas City for the first match in a best-of-three series Sunday evening.

Tens of thousands of fans are expected in downtown St. Louis, though with possible freezing temperatures and high demand for tickets, there's a chance you'll want to catch the action from home.

If you want to watch CITY SC on Sunday from your TV, here's what you need to know:

  • Kickoff: Scheduled for 9 p.m.
  • TV Channel: FS1
  • Stream: Apple TV

Fans essentially have two options to watch the big match on Sunday, including one free option.

The game will be broadcast nationally on FS1, following the MLS broadcast of FC Cincinnati vs. the New York Red Bulls. Because of this setup and other MLS scheduling considerations, CITY SC's playoff game might start closer to 9:20 or 9:30 p.m.

If you don't have FS1, there is also one free option (for Sunday only) to watch CITY vs. Sporting.

Anyone with an Apple TV account can also watch the first match for free. You do not need to have Apple TV+ or MLS Season Plus to watch the first match of the series. You only an account to access a stream that will be made available in the evening.

If you can't access the game on FS1 or Apple TV, but you live in the St. Louis metro, you can also listen to the broadcast via radio on 98.1 FM.

A5.1-magnitude earthquake struck near Mandalay, Myanmar’s second-largest city, on Sunday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The tremor was part of a series of aftershocks following Friday’s devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake, which resulted in the collapse of numerous buildings and significant infrastructure damage. The death toll has risen to over 1,600, with more than 3,400 individuals reported missing; these numbers are expected to increase as rescue operations continue. Foreign rescue teams and supplies arrived in Myanmar on Sunday to help the impoverished country cope with an earthquake that killed over 1,600 and left many near the epicentre scrambling for help without proper equipment. The 7.7-magnitude quake, one of Myanmar’s strongest in a century, jolted the Southeast Asian nation on Friday, leaving 1,644 people dead, 3,408 injured and 139 missing, the military government said. India, China and Thailand are among Myanmar’s neighbours that have sent relief ...

Israel says situation on Lebanon border ‘not sustainable’

-
By James Mackenzie Reuters  Israeli officials and media reacted with satisfaction on Monday after a  long-expected missile attack  by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah movement appeared to have been largely thwarted by pre-emptive Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon. Both Hezbollah and Israel seemed content to let Sunday’s attack, in retaliation for the  killing of a senior Hezbollah commander  in Beirut last month, count as settled for the moment. Israeli government spokesperson David Mencer said Hezbollah had suffered a “crushing blow” from the Israeli strikes but that a longer lasting solution was still needed. “The current situation is not sustainable,” he told a briefing, referring to the tens of thousands evacuated from their homes in northern Israel, a situation mirrored on the other side of the border in southern Lebanon. “Israel will do its duty and return its population to our sovereign territory.” Hopes that children might return for the start of the ...
