Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:10:12 GMT

HIROSHIMA, Japan (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol prayed together Sunday at a memorial for Korean victims of the 1945 atomic bombing in Hiroshima on the sidelines of the Group of Seven summit, as the two leaders continued efforts to mend ties repeatedly hurt by disputes stemming from Japan’s wartime brutality.Yoon is in Hiroshima with leaders from seven other guest nations and G7 countries for “outreach” sessions on Sunday, the last day of the three-day summit.Yoon and Kishida, accompanied by their first ladies, stood in front of the memorial where they laid bouquets of white flowers and lowered their heads as they paid tribute to tens of thousands of Koreans who died in the attack 78 years ago.Yoon is the first South Korean leader to visit the memorial, underscoring the thawing in their rocky relations. Yoon, at the outset of his talks with Kishida later Sunday morning, praised the Japanese prime minister for his “sincere d...

Japanese atomic bomb survivors worry Zelenskyy’s G7 visit overshadows nuke disarmament message

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:10:12 GMT

HIROSHIMA, Japan (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s last-minute participation Sunday in the Group of Seven summit has brought intense global attention to Russia’s invasion of his nation. But it has also worried atomic bomb survivors who said the high-profile visit overshadowed a rare chance to push world leaders to focus on nuclear abolishment.Zelenskyy’s inclusion at the G7 gathering of rich-world democracies — and his pursuit of more weapons and other support for Ukraine, rather than a diplomatic pursuit to end the war — sends the wrong message, activists and victims said.“Zelenskyy’s visit is not appropriate for Hiroshima, which is a peace-loving city,” said Etsuko Nakatani, an activist whose parents survived the Hiroshima atomic bombing in 1945.Many Hiroshima residents hope that understanding the city’s tragic past will push leaders to “take up the abolition of nuclear weapons as an urgent political issue, not an ideal,” she said. “But support for...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:10:12 GMT

LOS ANGELES — Pinch yourself, Nuggets Nation. The dream is real. For the first time in their NBA history, the Nuggets are on the doorstep of the Finals.Knock politely? No way. No how.After rocking the L.A. Lakers 119-108 here Saturday night, the Nuggets are going to kick that freakin’ door down.Eddie Murphy was here, with his feet on the floor near midcourt, wearing sunglasses. Indoors. At night. In an arena painted with Hollywood glitz, Jake Gyllenhaal turned the head of every lady in the house. And at 86 years old, Jack Nicholson is still so cool he doesn’t even feel the need to comb his hair.So many stars.But on this Saturday night, Nuggets guard Jamal Murray outshined them all.Murray scored 37 points. And every shot by the Blue Arrow drove home a point straight through the doubt surrounding Denver as a legit championship contender.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:10:12 GMT

LOS ANGELES – This wasn’t what Hollywood had in mind.As the Lakers’ season all-but hung in the balance Saturday evening, Denver bulldozed into the City of Angels and re-wrote the script. Ugly, scrappy and united, the Nuggets took a commanding 3-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals with a stunning 119-108 victory.The crowd, dotted with A-list celebrities like Denzel and Jack, sat dumbstruck. With 2:13 left in the fourth quarter, and the Nuggets sitting on a double-digit lead, Lakers fans started heading for the exits.It was an ignominious ending to an ignominious showing from the Lakers, who prior to Saturday night, hadn’t lost at home during the playoffs.By virtue of Jamal Murray’s 37-point showing, 30 of which came in the first half, and a collective effort so overwhelming L.A. couldn’t compete, Denver inched ever so close to its first trip to the NBA Finals.“You need 16 wins to win a championship,” Murray said. “We’ve got five more to go.”They can ...

Nuggets 3-pointers: Nikola Jokic’s fourth quarter of Game 3 proves he can survive any slog or slump

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:10:12 GMT

Initial observations from Los Angeles after Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals between the Nuggets and Lakers.1. Joker escapes slog: What’s even crazier than Jamal Murray’s historic run? In the same 24-minute span when Murray amassed 40 points — the fourth quarter of Game 2 and the first quarter of Game 3 — Nikola Jokic did not score a single point. The Nuggets outscored the Lakers 64-44 during that consequential stretch anyway, picking up their two-time MVP as he suddenly went into an extended cold stretch. When the Lakers sliced Denver’s long-gone 14-point lead to 66-63 and forced a timeout in the third quarter, Jokic had just back-rimmed a 6-foot floater that’s usually automatic for him. He was 3 for 11 from the field in the game at that point, and he picked up his fourth foul moments later. When Jokic missed his first two shots of the fourth quarter, he was 7 for his last 27 dating back to Game 2. Then he proceeded to deliver a 15-point f...
