LOS ANGELES (AP) — Small and subtle, the blue ribbons worn by many celebrities at the Oscars nonetheless had an important message: support refugees.According to a statement from the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, donning the #WithRefugees ribbons Sunday "sends a powerful visual message that everyone has the right to seek safety, whoever, wherever, whenever they are.”The ribbons were made by Knotty Tie Co., which the agency says provides employment, training and education to refugees resettled in the Denver area. Photos from the 2023 Oscars: red carpet, ceremony, and more “In many of the films nominated at festivals and awards ceremonies this season, the human themes of conflict, separation and loss are present,” the agency said in the statement, citing movies like “Avatar: The Way of Water” and “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On.”“Through effective storytelling, these films help erode discrimination and misunderstandings, offer new perspectives and help to build compassion for ...

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 17:30:29 GMT

LONDON — U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak hinted that Chinese app TikTok could be banned on all British government phones.It would mark a U-turn from London after it initially resisted pressure to follow the EU and U.S. in announcing such a move. In an interview during a trip to the U.S., the BBC asked Sunak if the social media app would be banned on government devices. “We take security of devices seriously,” he responded. “We look also at what our allies are doing. And we’re in the process of doing all of that.”The Sunday Times reported at the weekend that there has been a rethink in the U.K. after experts at intelligence agency GCHQ’s National Cyber Security Center assessed the app and found risks to sensitive information.Critics of China argue Beijing could demand tech firms such as TikTok owner ByteDance hand over information. TikTok, whose parent company is headquartered in Beijing, has repeatedly said it doesn’t share data with China, pointing out that its data centers ar...

Former Ravens left guard Ben Powers reportedly headed to Denver Broncos on hefty 4-year deal

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 17:30:29 GMT

Former Ravens guard Ben Powers is headed to the Denver Broncos on a four-year, $52 million free agent deal that includes $28.5 million guaranteed, according to multiple reports. It would make Powers one of the league’s highest paid players at the position.Powers, a 2019 fourth-round pick out of Oklahoma, started all 17 games at left guard last season after he was considered a bubble candidate to make the Ravens’ roster in the summer. Not only did he win the job outright, he graded as one of the best pass-blocking guards in the league, according to Pro Football Focus.Powers, 26, played so well in the final year of his rookie contract that Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta as much as said the team could not afford to bring him back. “Ben has probably improved as much as anybody on our team,” DeCosta said in January. “And Ben is a guy who we’d love to keep. My feeling is Ben is probably going to be sought after in free agency, based on the way he p...

By KEN SWEET, CHRISTOPHER RUGABER, CHRIS MEGERIAN and CATHY BUSSEWITZ (Associated Press)NEW YORK (AP) — President Joe Biden insisted Monday that the nation’s banking system was safe, seeking to project calm after the collapse of two banks stirred fears of a broader upheaval and prompted regulators to offer emergency loans to banks to stave off additional failures.“Your deposits will be there when you need them,” Biden said.Despite the message from the White House, investors continued to dump shares in bank stocks.
