Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 03:16:39 GMT
If a short work week wasn’t enough to look forward to this week, then maybe adding a nice stretch of quiet weather will do the trick. We started with clouds this morning and gradually eroded them and brought back sunshine for the afternoon. The mostly sunny to partly cloudy sky will continue for the next few days. Temperatures will be a bit warmer for Tuesday and Wednesday, climbing to the lower 40s. Typical highs are now in the upper 30s.By Thursday we’ll add clouds to the mix and with the clouds, a widely isolated rain or snow shower is possible. We’re essentially being split by two storm systems. One has moisture and one has cold air, but the timing and proximity is off to give us any significant precipitation. As they pass by, one to our north and one to our south, they may give us a spot rain or snow shower but that’s all. The bigger system to watch is on the way for the weekend…. stay tuned for more on that one!Meet the new Boston City Council: Photo Gallery

By JOSEF FEDERMAN, WAFAA SHURAFA and SAMY MAGDY (Associated Press)JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military confirmed Monday that it was pulling thousands of troops out of the Gaza Strip, a step that could clear the way for a new long-term phase of lower-intensity fighting against the Hamas militant group.The confirmation of the planned troop drawdown came the same day that Israel’s Supreme Court struck down a key component of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s contentious judicial overhaul plan.While the plan is not directly connected to the war effort, it was the source of deep divisions inside Israel and had threatened the military’s readiness before the Oct. 7 Hamas attack that triggered the ongoing war.Politicians warned against reigniting those divisions and harming the national unity that has prevailed throughout the Israel-Hamas war.Netanyahu has vowed to press ahead with the military offensive until Hamas is crushed and the more than 100 hostages still ...Company issues national recall for hypoallergenic infant formula

He said he was on the westbound TTC train as it pulled into Sheppard-Yonge station at around 3 p.m. John said he captured a video showing smoke and small flames before an e-bike fully caught on fire.“One of the guys’ e-bikes just started to make noise … it kind of sounded like a flare and then smoke came out, a couple of seconds later, fire came out,” John said, noting it smelled like a bonfire with a plastic bag tossed in.“People evacuated pretty quickly. Some people fell on the floor and hurt their faces, but I don’t think they had serious injuries.”He said he saw the owner of the bike try to respond to the fire.
