Putin’s not dying, Kremlin says

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:43:39 GMT

The Kremlin has brushed off claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin is ill, after speculative media reports that he’d suffered a cardiac arrest. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov also dismissed speculation that Putin has used body doubles to cover for him in public appearances.“Talk of Vladimir Putin’s health problems is another canard,” Peskov said, according to Russian state-owned news agency Ria.ru, adding that “everything is fine with him.”Reports, sourced to Telegram channel SVR General which has spread conspiracy theories about Putin’s health and public appearances, were published Monday in multiple British newspapers including the Daily Mirror and Daily Express. Putin — who has been waging a full-scale invasion against Ukraine since February 2022 — has appeared at meetings inside and outside of Russia in the past week, including at a two-day forum in Beijing which marked the 10th anniversary of the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:43:39 GMT

Senior management at the MBTA displayed “poor judgment” in going ahead with the opening the new Green Line Extension last year despite knowing there were issues with the tracks, and in not disclosing those failures to Gov. Maura Healey’s administration, the governor said Monday.News came last week that more than half of the track on the T’s new 4.4-mile Green Line Extension into Somerville and Medford is too narrow, and will need to be “regauged” to increase space between the two rails.Healey’s appointed MBTA general manager, Phil Eng, said he only was informed of the problem “recently,” though senior officials under former Gov. Charlie Baker’s administration may have known about the problems as early as 2021.“What’s important is that it was not disclosed, and it was really not addressed,” Healey said to reporters Monday when asked if her administration has any answers as to why the problem was not di...

Veterans Voices: Fighting for recognition

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:43:39 GMT

SAN DIEGO -- Broken promises on the war front. Cenon Audencial was a guerilla with the Philippine Resistance Movement turned second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Forces in the Far East in the early 1940s. Like many of the 260,000 Filipinos who fought and served under and alongside the U.S. military during World War II, Audencial may never be recognized for his war efforts because of lost documentation. This story dates back several decades. There was a call for Filipinos to serve under the U.S. Armed Forces in 1941 when the Japanese advanced on Philippine soil during World War II. Among the organized military forces were the young men and women in recognized guerilla units, The Philippine Commonwealth Army and Philippines Scouts.  MORE: Veterans Voices “It wasn’t their war to fight,” recalled Cita Gruta, whose father worked as a spy for the U.S. during that time. Bienvenido Guiam disguised himself as a poker player who was well liked by the Japanese.
