By María Teresa Hernández | Associated PressTIJUANA, Mexico — It’s Sunday night and Crystal P. Lira is not answering her messages. Inside the headquarters of Colectiva Bloodys y Projects, an organization that has supported reproductive rights near the U.S.-Mexico border since 2016, her only concern is for the woman she has provided with a safe space to get an abortion.Lira, who lives in Tijuana, in northern Mexico, is one among dozens of Mexican “acompañantes” — volunteers who support women wanting to terminate a pregnancy. Located all over the country, most acompañantes offer virtual guidance through an abortion protocol in which no clinics or prescriptions are needed.Developed by activists after decades of facing abortion bans and restrictions in most of Mexico’s 32 states, the protocol encourages women to trust self-managed medication abortions following guidelines established by the World Health Organization.“Accompaniment means that we facilitate information, medications and ev...

QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) — Gunmen shot and killed six construction workers overnight in the volatile southwestern Baluchistan province, Pakistani police said Saturday.Police officer Hidayatullah Dashti said gunmen opened fire overnight at eight construction workers in the city of Turbat, about 377 miles (about 606 kilometers) south of Quetta — the capital of the province.

Although the government says it has quelled the insurgency, violence in the province has persi...

Palestinians flee within Gaza after Israel orders mass evacuation and stages brief ground incursions

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:04:52 GMT

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Palestinians scrambled to flee northern Gaza on Saturday after Israel ordered nearly half the population to flee south and carried out limited ground forays ahead of an expected land offensive, as the war appeared set to escalate a week after Hamas’ bloody, wide-ranging attack into Israel.

Families in cars, trucks and donkey carts packed with their possessions crowded a main road heading southward from Gaza City as Israeli airstrikes continued to hammer the besieged territory. Hamas’ media office said warplanes struck cars fleeing south, killing more than 70 people.The Israeli military said its troops conducted temporary raids into Gaza to battle militants and hunted for traces of some 150 people...

Voting closes in New Zealand’s election, with polls indicating people favor a conservative change

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:04:52 GMT

AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — Voting closed Saturday in New Zealand and ballot counting was underway in a general election, with opinion polls indicating people were favoring a conservative change after six years of a liberal government led for most of that time by Jacinda Ardern.Warm spring weather in the largest city of Auckland seemed to encourage voters, with queues forming outside some polling places. Early voting before Election Day was lower than in recent elections.Ardern unexpectedly stepped down as prime minister in January, saying she no longer had “enough in the tank” to do the job justice. She won the last election in a landslide, but her popularity waned as people got tired of COVID-19 restrictions and inflation threatened the economy.Her departure left Chris Hipkins, 45, to take over as leader. He had previously served as education minister and led the response to the coronavirus pandemic. But polling indicated his conservative rival, former businessman Christopher Lux...

BOULDER — The Buffs were on the doorstep of bowl eligibility, and one win from checking off a major milestone in Deion Sanders’ transformative program overhaul.That is, until they blew a 29-point halftime lead in one of the most shocking losses in program history, an epic collapse that saw CU fall to Stanford in double-OT at Folsom Field, 46-43.“I’m truly upset and truly disturbed,” a stunned Coach Prime said. “We finally put it together in the first half like the players desired… Then we come out and surrender three unanswered touchdowns to start (the second half). I can’t fathom it or wrap my head around it.“Big win by them, horrible loss by us.”Instead of sitting at 5-2 heading into the second half of the season with a gust of momentum, the Buffs spiraled with a disastrous second half on Friday to fall to 4-3 after suffering the largest blown lead in program history. Stanford roared back thanks to an unstoppable performa...
