At least two tornadoes touched down in a south-end Ottawa neighbourhood last Thursday.According to Western University’s Northern Tornado Project, two separate EF1 tornadoes have been confirmed in the Barrhaven neighbourhood which caused damage to at least 125 homes.According to NTP, a 200 metre-wide tornado tore a path of damage five kilometres long that crossed paths with an earlier tornado that was 150 metres wide and whose damage was calculated at one metre in length. “Based on the structural damage, a maximum wind speed of 155 km/h hour was estimated, which falls in the EF1 categeory on the EF scale. That applies to both tornadoes,” NTP said based on evidence and analysis conducted so far. RELATED: Tornado damages over 100 homes in Barrhaven as cleanup efforts beginNTP says it is also investigating a confirmed tornado at the Montréal–Mirabel International Airport. “No damage has been investigated with this tornado at this time, so an EF scale rating is p...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:13:16 GMT

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin said in an interview published Sunday that Russia has a “sufficient stockpile” of cluster munitions, and warned that Russia “reserves the right to take reciprocal action” if Ukraine uses the controversial weapons.In his first comments on the delivery of cluster munitions to Ukraine from the U.S., Putin said that Russia has not used cluster bombs in its war in Ukraine so far. The use of cluster bombs by both Russia and Ukraine has been widely documented, including by The Associated Press and international humanitarian organizations, and cluster rounds have been found in the aftermath of Russian strikes.“Until now, we have not done this, we have not used it, and we have not had such a need,” he said, Rossiya TV reporter Pavel Zarubin published excerpts of the interview to his Telegram channel Sunday ahead of a scheduled broadcast Sunday night.The Pentagon said Thursday that cluster munitions provided by the United States had arrive...

2024 GOP candidates desperate to make debate stage are finding creative ways to boost donor numbers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:13:16 GMT

With six weeks until the first 2024 Republican presidential debate, some hopefuls are finding creative ways to boost their donor numbers and ensure they make it on stage.Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy rolled out a plan to let people who raise money for his campaign keep 10% of what they take in from other donors. North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum is offering $20 Mastercard or Visa gift cards in return for campaign donations of as little as $1. Businessman Perry Johnson is offering copies of his book in exchange for donations.The unusual efforts are in response to a Republican National Committee requirement that participants in the Aug. 23 debate in Milwaukee raise money from at least 40,000 donors across the country. That’s a tall task for some of the hopefuls who aren’t as well known as former President Donald Trump or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.It’s a recognition of the make-it-or-break-it opportunity that the debate stage provides for lower-tier candidates in a...

Iran’s morality police return after protests in a new campaign to impose Islamic dress on women

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:13:16 GMT

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iranian authorities on Sunday announced a new campaign to force women to wear the Islamic headscarf and morality police returned to the streets 10 months after the death of a woman in their custody sparked nationwide protests.The morality police had largely pulled back following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini last September, as authorities struggled to contain mass protests calling for the overthrow of the theocracy that has ruled Iran for over four decades.The protests largely died down earlier this year following a heavy crackdown in which over 500 protesters were killed and nearly 20,000 detained. But many women continued to flaunt the official dress code, especially in the capital, Tehran, and other cities.The morality police were only rarely seen patrolling the streets, and in December, there were even some reports — later denied — that they had been disbanded.Authorities insisted throughout the crisis that the rules had not changed.

College students struggling with hunger face potential loss of food stamp benefits

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:13:16 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Raised on welfare by his grandmother, Joseph Sais relied so much on food stamps as a college student that he thought about quitting school when his eligibility was revoked.In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sais said, he missed an “important letter” and temporarily lost his eligibility in SNAP, the foundational anti-poverty program commonly known as food stamps. “There were times when I was taking a test and instead of focusing on the test, I’m focused on what I’m going to be able to eat tonight,” said Sais, who graduated from Sacramento State University with a degree in political science and journalism and is now a first-year graduate student at the same school.Sais, whose eligibility was restored earlier this year, is part of a largely hidden group that researchers and policymakers are still trying to address: full-time college students struggling with serious food insecurity. Radha Muthiah, president of the Capital Area Food Bank. calls it a hidden cr...
