Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan returned to the campaign trail on Saturday after falling sick during a live TV broadcast Tuesday night.Erdoğan had canceled public appearances for three days, after coming down with what Turkish Health Minister Fahrettin Koca later said was gastroenteritis. But on Saturday, the Turkish president appeared at an Istanbul aviation festival, flanked by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, AFP reported.His illness came at an unfortunate time for Erdoğan, who’s facing a tough battle for re-election when Turkey heads to the polls on May 14. Erdoğan, who has been in power since 2003 as prime minister and president, is polling neck-and-neck with opposition leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, according to POLITICO’s Poll of Polls.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:21:09 GMT

NORTH BROOKFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A Pride celebration that includes a drag performance scheduled for a small Massachusetts town has the proper authority to take place as originally planned, the town’s lawyer wrote in a letter to the American Civil Liberties Union, ending weeks of uncertainty about the event.The clarification Friday from a lawyer for the town of North Brookfield came two days after the three-member select board rescinded a previous vote to deny a permit for the event organized by the Rural Justice Network because it included a drag show, which two members of the board found objectionable.The board then held another vote on whether to give the green light to the event, but those two members abstained, meaning the measure failed.The Rural Justice Network and the ACLU of Massachusetts were unclear if that meant the Pride event could go on.But the town’s lawyer in Friday’s letter said the event — drag show included — could take place on the ...

Everything at stake for Bruins in Game 7

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:21:09 GMT

SUNRISE, Fla. — The Bruins are staring down two vastly different scenarios on Sunday night when they face the Florida Panthers in a Game 7 at the Garden that already has B’s fans white-knuckling their arm chairs.Behind Door No. 1? It’s the opportunity to prove they are the better team, which they are. They have a  chance to learn from their mistakes, from the coaching staff on down (there have been a few whoppers), and come out on the other side stronger and smarter for having gone through the fire.What is behind Door No. 2 is decidedly less palatable. From a local perspective, a loss in Game 7 would join this team at the hip with the 1971 Bruins as a colossal playoff flop. Of a more recent vintage, it would link them to the 2019 Tampa Bay Lightning. Both teams had record-setting regular seasons only to be bounced in the first round.But there is a big difference between these B’s and both the ’71 Black and Gold ’19 Bolts. The latter two teams were still...
