How good it was, too.He is making a habit of it.City has played Real Madrid in the Champions League’s knockout stage in three of the last four seasons, and De Bruyne has scored each time.

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:31:08 GMT

Norfolk Southern’s stock fell before the opening bell Wednesday after the railroad unveiled plans to create a fund for residents near the site of an Ohio train wreck that would cover any decline in home values since a derailment earlier this year.In early February about 50 cars derailed in East Palestine, some carrying hazardous chemicals that spilled into nearby waterways. The U.S. filed a lawsuit against Norfolk Southern over environmental damage in March. Half of the 5,000 residents of East Palestine were evacuated as emergency personnel burned off some of the chemicals to avert an uncontrolled explosion.Norfolk Southern Corp. CEO Alan Shaw apologized for the impact the derailment has had on the community and the company has pledged to pay for the cleanup.Shaw said in a letter late Tuesday to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation that while the company has total accrued charges of almost $400 million for the derailment, that amount doesn’t inclu...

CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (AP) — U.S. Rep. George Santos, the New York Republican infamous for fabricating key parts of his life story, was arrested Wednesday on federal criminal charges ahead of an expected court appearance.The indictment says Santos induced supporters to donate to a company under the false pretense that the money would be used to support his campaign.
