KOLKATA, India (AP) — South Africa recovered from a bad start to set Australia a target of 213 to win their semifinal match at the Cricket World Cup on Thursday.David Miller struck 101 to help the South Africans rebound from a perilous position at 24-4 in the 12th over and post a respectable 212 all out with two balls remaining in the innings.Heinrich Klaasen scored 47 runs off 48 balls and put on 95 off 113 for the fifth wicket with Miller to rescue the Proteas.The recovery came after Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood took advantage of helpful overhead conditions to rip through the top order, leaving the South Africans struggling after winning the toss and choosing to bat first.Temba Bavuma (0) fell in the first over and a frustrated Quinton De Kock was out for just 3 off 14 balls when he skied Hazlewood to a backpedaling Pat Cummins.Aiden Markram got a thick outside edge off Starc to David Warner for 10 and Rassie van der Dussen (6) edged Hazlewood to Steve Smith at second slip.Th...

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Perhaps just shaking hands and sitting down together can be enough sometimes. At their four-hour meeting Wednesday, U.S. President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping didn’t resolve any of the vital geopolitical issues dividing the world’s two largest economies and chief rivals for global influence, but they struck a conciliatory tone that came as a relief to other countries, especially China’s neighbors. The two leaders met at a northern California country estate, holding talks, lunching and taking a garden stroll designed to show that while the two countries are global competitors, they’re not locked in a winner-take-all faceoff.“Planet Earth is big enough for the two countries to succeed,” Xi told Biden.Biden emphasized the need to avoid miscommunication. “We have to ensure competition does not veer into conflict,” he said. The leaders’ first face-to-face encounter in a year appears to have put a floor under a relat...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:59:17 GMT

BERLIN – Ursula von der Leyen on Thursday doubled down on the need for the EU to investigate Beijing’s state subsidies into the electric vehicle industry, saying the Chinese economic downturn will accelerate overcapacity.Speaking three weeks before she visits Beijing for an EU-China Summit, the European Commission president called on China not to go for a “race to the bottom” in the green tech transition.“Europe is open to competition, but it is not open to a race to the bottom,” von der Leyen said. “We will go to China in good faith. We will never shy away in raising our concerns.”On electric vehicles, she said: “There is a clear overcapacity in China, and this overcapacity will be exported for sure, especially if overcapacity is driven by direct and indirect subsidies.“This will worsen as China’s economy slows down — and as its domestic demand does not pick up,” von der Leyen added. “This in the very end affec...

It was the deadliest attack against Jews in American history.Musk, in subsequent posts, said he does not believe hatred of White ...
