Corona, California (KCAL) — A generally calm pursuit took a wild turn Monday evening, when a stolen vehicle suspect originally driving slowly began ramming police vehicles before jumping an embankment onto the 91 Freeway in Corona.The chase began at around 8:20 p.m. in the La Habra area, according to the La Habra Police Department.Police say that the stolen vehicle, some sort of work truck that had “Sysco” written on the side, was unreported, meaning it may have been very recently taken, but they did not disclose further details.The lengthy pursuit continued through Corona and into Norco, with the suspect leading police at a slow pace along surface streets, even using their blinkers when turning and stopping before entering intersections.At around 9:20 p.m., the suspect turned on the southbound 15 Freeway and continued through Corona after merging on the westbound CA-91.After exiting the freeway on S. Maple Street, the suspect stopped in the middle of the intersect...EU set to announce Ukraine accession talks by December

The European Union is gearing up to open negotiations with Ukraine on its future accession to the bloc with a formal announcement expected as soon as December.According to three diplomats with knowledge of the plans, leaders are preparing to give Kyiv the green light to begin formal talks on joining the 27-country bloc before the end of the year. Ukraine is at the heart of a major new push to expand the EU to as many as 35 countries. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in her annual address to Parliament last month that Ukraine’s future was “in the Union.”EU countries granted Kyiv status as a candidate for EU membership in June, and the Commission is due to issue a “progress report” on how well Ukraine and other aspiring members are meeting the bloc’s conditions for joining in November, according to an EU official who spoke to journalists on Tuesday.Once the progress report has been adopted, the Commission will make a statement...EU’s wannabe climate chiefs made to sweat as MEPs play tug-of-war

STRASBOURG — The EU’s climate leadership hopefuls failed to impress lawmakers as their confirmation hearings descended into a political tit-for-tat among the Parliament’s two largest groups.After interrogating Wopke Hoekstra and Maroš Šefčovič for more than three hours each, MEPs on Tuesday decided to postpone their confirmations to the European Commission’s top climate jobs until both candidates answer more questions in writing. The fates of Hoekstra, a former foreign minister of the Netherlands who hails from the center-right European People’s Party (EPP), and Šefčovič, a Socialist who is already an executive vice president of the Commission, became entangled after the two groups threatened to vote down each other’s candidates, flexing the limited muscles the Parliament possesses to scrutinize future commissioners. Šefčovič’s future is part of a “political game now,” said the Socialists’ chief negotiator Tiemo Wölken. “After they realized that Hoekstra didn’t perfo...Trial for man accused of killing New Hampshire couple in 2022 gets underway

The trial for a man charged in the 2022 shooting deaths of a New Hampshire couple got underway Tuesday morning, a year after authorities tracked down and arrested the suspect.Appearing in court during opening statements, Logan Clegg, 28, faces charges in connection with the deaths of Djeswende and Stephen Reid, who authorities say were shot to death in April of last year while out on a hiking trail.The retired couple were initially reported missing after they left their home in Concord for a walk on April 18. Their bodies were found days later, setting off an investigation that ended when police arrested Clegg in Vermont in October that year.According to an affidavit following his arrest, police honed in on Clegg after reviewing witness statements and other evidence – including a reported encounter officers had with a man named “Arthur Kelly” at a tent site the day before officials found the victims nearby.Police later found the tent torched while “Kelly,” believed to be Clegg givi...Winchester police investigating after pet dog shot and killed while out on walk

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 10:25:21 GMT
Legislators grilled Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and other city officials for more than an hour Monday over a home rule petition that would dramatically expand the volume of liquor licenses in low-income, marginalized communities, raising concerns about whether the legislation could ultimately accelerate gentrification and harm entrepreneurs of color.Proposals from Rep. Christopher Worrell and Sen. Liz Miranda (H 3741 / S 2380), which build upon local approval from the Boston City Council, would gradually add 250 targeted liquor licenses in 10 ZIP codes in Mattapan, Roxbury and Dorchester, among other neighborhoods.The scarcity of available liquor licenses, plus the nearly $600,000 price to buy a license from an establishment that’s going out of business in Boston, has contributed to the racial wealth gap and disproportionately concentrated restaurants and bars in wealthier hubs of the city, according to city officials and state lawmakers who voiced their support for the bill...Bill O’Brien takes share of blame for Patriots offensive struggles

Coming off an offensive performance like Sunday’s, it would be easy for people to start pointing fingers and blaming each other for everything that went wrong. Mac Jones in particular would be ripe for criticism for his numerous miscues and poor decisions, but offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien said the performance wasn’t all on Jones and that he and the coaches deserved their share of blame as well.“We’re all in it together, we’ve got to do a better job of coaching up some things with him a little better, he’s got to do a better job of making good decisions for us, he knows that. He takes a lot of ownership, you guys saw that after the game, he blames himself,” O’Brien said. “The game wasn’t lost because of one guy, the game was lost on our part because of how poorly we played and coached in the game. Mac is here today, he’s working very hard to get back on the right track and we have a lot of belief in Mac....How much can you borrow with a home improvement loan?

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 10:25:21 GMT
House lawmakers plan to consider legislation Wednesday that would require businesses with at least 25 employees to list a salary or hourly wage range on a job posting, a move that advocates argue would primarily help women and people of color boost their pay.The bill would put Massachusetts in line with 10 other states across the country, including Rhode Island, New York, and Connecticut, for requiring pay disclosure but also place the commonwealth ahead of the curve with annual aggregate demographic and pay reports compiled by the state from federal forms.Advocates cheered the House’s plan to take up the bill after the chamber’s Ways and Means Committee made clear Tuesday morning they were advancing a version of the legislation originally co-sponsored by Sen. Patricia Jehlen and Rep. Josh Cutler, co-chairs of the Labor and Workforce Development Committee.Pay disclosure is necessary “to “level the playing field for all workers, close persistent gender and racial wage gaps, and help ...Matt Poitras is making a strong push for a Bruins’ roster spot

The Bruins are giving Matt Poitras every test available to them to see if the slick-passing 19-year-old is ready for a National Hockey League season.The latest? He was in the B’s lineup in the second half of a back-to-back coupled with a plum assignment in what would be a top six centerman role. After playing in Monday’s game in Philadelphia, picking up a helper in the B’s only goal of the game, Poitras was set to get right back at it on Tuesday at the Garden against the Washington Capitals, this time playing on a line with Brad Marchand and Trent Frederic.It seems like Poitras has at the very least earned a longer look-see. While the preseason is winding down and opening night is just a week away, coach Jim Montgomery said that the nine-game window in the regular season teams are allowed to test out players who aren’t eligible for the AHL like Poitras could be helpful, though he didn’t definitely say that’s the way the club is going.Poitras certa...Latest news
