UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Intensifying Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy facilities are worsening humanitarian conditions across the war-torn country, where heavy snow and freezing temperatures have already arrived, U.N. officials said Wednesday.Assistant Secretary-General Miroslav Jenca told the U.N.

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 06:27:52 GMT

HONG KONG (AP) — China’s exports rose in November, the first increase since April, while imports fell, according to customs data released Thursday. Exports rose 0.5% from a year earlier to $291.9 billion, a sign that demand may be picking up after months, but imports fell 0.6%, to $223.5 billion, after they climbed 3% in October.China has been grappling with sluggish foreign trade this year amid slack global demand and a stalled recovery, despite the country’s reopening after its strict COVID-19 controls were lifted late last year.The trade surplus of $68.4 billion was up 21% compared to October’s $56.5 billion.Demand for Chinese exports has been weak since the Federal Reserve and central banks in Europe and Asia began raising interest rates last year to cool inflation that was at multi-decade highs.The Associated Press

In his latest effort, he had 23 points in the Tommies’ 75-71 win over the Milwaukee Panthers on Wednesday at Schoenecker Arena.Just as significant as the points were Anthony’s hustle, physical play and rebounding, the things he did at St. Mary’s and has continued to do for the Tommies since the season opener.“That was a good learning moment for me,” Anthony said of the game at Cal. “I kind of had the jitters a little bit. I remembered about a year ago being in St. Paul playing against Hamline. Then to be on the Pac-12 logo, it was different....
