The African country has been locked in a civil war for a year as rivals from the northern Tigray region and the Oromo Liberation Army push toward the capital and against Ethiopian forces, The New York Times reported. The Tigray forces and OLA were designated as terrorist groups by the government earlier this year. Ethiopian authorities were able to detain Kiyaro under the newly enacted state of emergency that includes powers of detention....

The German driver retired from F1 after winning his only title in 2016, and he has since invested in the four-year-old Formula E championship, which he said is now worth 750 million euros ($870 million). While F1 remains more attractive to sponsors and fans, the upstart series is showing increasing commercial appeal. Heineken, which already sponsors F1, was announced on Monday as the official beer and cider backer of the electric street racing championship under a five-year deal....

Hood, who has seen his role reduced during his first postseason with Cleveland, will not be fined or suspended for refusing to enter Monday night’s Game 4 blowout win over the Toronto Raptors in the fourth quarter, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. Hood feels bad about the incident that happened with 7:38 left in the fourth quarter, and he expressed remorse on Tuesday to team officials about becoming a distraction, said the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation....

The “whereabouts failures” are said to have happened over 12 months, which can be treated as a positive test and doping violation. The people spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday because cases are considered confidential. The 23-year-old Coleman is the reigning national champion at 100 meters. In 2017, he finished second to Justin Gatlin at the world championships — and one spot ahead of Usain Bolt. The 2019 worlds are next month in Qatar, and Coleman has the world’s leading time in the 100 the past three years....

In Apex Legends, Legendary Gear offers the same benefits of an Epic version of the Gear, but also provides the player a unique ability depending on the Gear type. These unique abilities can decide fights, potentially even deciding who wins or loses games. Legendary Gear There are four Legendary Gear pieces and their priority really depends on playstyle and Legend choice. Legendary Backpack - Fast Heal: Healing items take half as long to use....

Before Ash players start to panic, it appears that this specific bug only happens when using her ultimate in a very specific place on the map. Most players will never encounter it unless they’re looking for it. For those Apex Legends players who do stumble onto it, however, it’s a match-ender. It forces players back to the Apex Legends lobby to start a new match. As such, it’s a serious problem worth Respawn prioritizing a fix for, but due to its rarity it’s also quite a funny issue....

RELATED: Apex Legends: 10 Best Legend Passives To Master, Ranked Many locations across Olympus offer different benefits to players. The popularity of these locations changes from season to season as well. It can be difficult to choose the best place to start a match and it can make the difference between an early elimination or a chance at champion. 10 Estates (High Population, Medium Loot) Since the release of Olympus, Estates has been brimming with early match combat....

Wolfdawgartcorner uploaded an image of a concept for Revenant, the offensive-based cyborg introduced to headline Apex Legends Season 4, with added inspiration from the similar cyborg General Grievous from Star Wars to the r/apexlegends subreddit. The most overt references come in this skin’s face and the lightsabers attached to Revenant’s right leg, but the rusted and bandage-covered look also resembles some of the robotic creations from the Cartoon Network and Adult Swim cartoon Samurai Jack....

One story has it that Apple co-founder Steve Jobs used to pick apples while at a commune and chose this rather loose connection as inspiration (source: ‘The Little Kingdom’ by Michael Moritz). Another story is that Fab Four fan Jobs nicked the name from the Beatles’ label Apple Records – a decision that would later involve it in endlessly boring legal wrangles when Jobs and co released iTunes and so forth....

But if the FBI, intelligence officials, local police and–most of all–Americans who had vowed not to live in terror were tempted to dismiss these scares as hoaxes or hysteria, they were quickly brought up short. By midweek eight employees at American Media Inc. in Boca Raton, Fla., had been exposed to Bacillus anthracis; one, photo editor Robert Stevens, was dead as the result of inhaling thousands of deadly spores. On Oct....

Cruz has shown hesitation to criticize remarks made by President Donald Trump that seemed to encourage activity by white supremacy groups. President Trump has remarked often that demonstrators in recent protests are supported by radical left Democrats. In the meme, Cruz presented a fanciful representation of a train populated by Democrats with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders in command. “Biden may be the Democrat Party’s nominee,” Cruz tweeted, “but we know who is driving the train....

“Defunding police means defunding police. It does not mean budget tricks or funny math. It does not mean moving school police officers from the NYPD budget to the Department of Education’s budget so that the exact same police remain in schools,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a statement. On Tuesday, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and the City Council reached a deal to cut $1 billion from the NYPD’s $6 billion operating budget, with plans to reinvest those funds in youth and social services....

Despite the triple-overtime loss to the Jayhawks, the Sooners retained the No. 2 spot from last week, just ahead of Maryland, Michigan State and North Carolina, who enters the top five after Virginia dropped nine spots to No. 13 thanks to a pair of ACC road losses to Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech. CONFERENCE PREDICTIONS: Big 12 | Big Ten | ACC | AAC | Big East After back-to-back Pac-12 losses at the hands of UCLA and USC in addition to losing leading scorer Allonzo Trier (hand) for four to six weeks, Arizona dropped 11 positions to No....

The scary part is it only took second-year coach Jim Harbaugh 20 games to get there. That’s 20 games to flip a program that spent most of the previous seven years in exile from the national stage. That’s 20 games to compile a 17-3 record and move one spot behind defending national champion Alabama, which has become college football’s most-desired matchup. MORE: Ohio State isn’t one-and-done Whether you’re a Harbaugh hysteric or Harbaugh hater, there’s no denying what happened in Ann Arbor in those 20 games....

Reacting to her victory, Nine-time National champion Aparna Popat spoke to Sportskeeda about Saina’s win, whether fitness wise this was her best performance and more. Was the Saina Nehwal result expected?: I think she’s been hovering around. Getting to the semifinals and stuff. And honestly, there is not too much difference at the top and for somebody as experienced as her, if you have a look at the draw, she is probably the most experienced....

Thankfully, though, there is a way to neutralize Caustic’s Nox Gas Traps, and it doesn’t appear that many players know about this trick. While many players probably know that either Caustic or another player can shoot the traps from a distance to set them off, there is actually a red-colored area at the bottom of the trap. If players shoot that red section, it will destroy the trap without setting it off....

Securing a vault key is not immediately apparent, but is not too hard to do. Apex Legends players exploring World’s End have surely noticed the cargo bots flying around certain parts of the map which carry lots of different items. These glowing drones change color based on what tier gear they will drop when broken. However, these drones can also carry vault keys. When scouting the cargo bots, players may notice that some of the drones have red lights on the loot balls in addition to the “rarity” color, this means that they will have a vault key....
