New York are first No 8 seed to beat first seed
Liberty ease to 2-0 series victory over Minnesota
Jonquel Jones had 21 points and 13 rebounds and the No 8 seed New York Liberty beat the top-seeded Minnesota Lynx 87-71 in Game 2 of their WNBA playoff series on Tuesday night to advance to the semi-finals.
Breanna Stewart added 21 points and Sabrina Ionescu had 18 to help the Liberty become the first No 8 seed to eliminate a No 1 seed in the league’s 30-year history. The WNBA has undergone a number of different playoff formats, and in many of them, it wasn’t possible for those seeds to match up. However, in 2022 the league changed to the current iteration in which the top-eight teams play in the quarter-finals.

Wilson assessed technical foul after confrontation
All Caitlin Clark wanted was one more chance to play this season. She delivered a masterpiece. The All-Star guard scored 27 points, had 15 assists, reached another milestone and provided the energy on both ends of the court to help keep the sixth-seeded Indiana Fever’s postseason alive with a 99-89 victory over the defending WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces. Kelsey Mitchell added 26 points as the crowd chanted “M-V-P” throughout the game.
Indiana evened the best-of-three series at 1-1. Game 3 will be played Thursday at Las Vegas.

Sebastian Berhalter scores and assists on winner
Two scuffles between teams erupt as match ends
Julian Hall, Mathis Albert set records for youngest scorers
Riding goals from Sebastian Berhalter, Julian Hall, Chris Richards and 17-year-old newcomer Mathis Albert, the US men’s national team beat Chile in St Louis on Tuesday night 4-2. The US were shaky at times but used a blend of regulars and newcomers to get the job done, with Albert becoming the youngest-ever goalscorer for the US men with his insurance goal in stoppage time, and Hall becoming the youngest US men’s player to score in each of his first two games.
The game ended with an example of the collective identity a young US group has managed to forge in their first World Cup window, minus major figures like Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, and Folarin Balogun. When goalkeeper Brian Schwake fell on the ball as stoppage time ticked over, Chile forward Leandro Hernández left a kick in on the Nashville SC goalkeeper. Richards took exception, confronting Hernández, setting off a group confrontation that cleared both benches and saw US manager Mauricio Pochettino jump in to the middle of the fray to try and calm things down.

Group of officers known as ‘riders’ in 2000s prompted longest arrangement of its kind in US history
After 23 years, a district judge has released the Oakland police department (OPD) from federal oversight, marking the end of the longest arrangement of this kind in US history.
In the early 2000s, a group of police officers known as the “riders” were exposed for offenses like planting evidence, falsifying reports and using excessive force against primarily young Black men. These actions led victims to file more than 100 civil lawsuits against the department. In 2003, as a part of the settlement of these cases, OPD was put on a federal court-ordered reform program.

La mesure vise entre autres à permettre l'organisation d'élections « libres et régulières ».


Ils se sont imposés 1-0 contre les Hurricanes de la Caroline, mardi soir, à Raleigh.



L’attaquant de l’Océanic, Zack Arsenault, est l’espoir du prochain repêchage de la LNH qui s’est illustré le plus durant la deuxième semaine de la saison de la LHJMQ.
Muté sur le premier trio lors des deux derniers matchs en compagnie de Mathys Dubé et Maxmilian Mares, Arsenault a marqué trois buts et en a préparé deux pour aider l’Océanic à récolter trois points sur une possibilité de quatre.
Samedi après-midi, l’Océanic a dominé les Cataractes de Shawinigan en l’emportant à domicile par la marque de 13-2. Arsenault a été en mesure de noircir la feuille de pointage avec une performance de deux buts.
Le lendemain après-midi, l’Océanic rendait visite aux Remparts de Québec et la formation rimouskoise a perdu 5-4 en prolongation. Cette fois, Arsenault en a profité pour connaître le premier match de trois points de sa carrière ainsi que son premier avec un rendement de +3.
Il a été l’unique marqueur de l’Océanic en première période, avec son quatrième but en autant de matchs et s’est ensuite illustré en forçant la tenue d’une période de prolongation grâce ses mentions d’aide sur les buts de Connor Sturgeon et de Maxmilian Mares, respectivement marqués avec 79 et 66 secondes à faire dans le match.
Tout au long de la saison régulière, la LHJMQ met en vedette chaque semaine un espoir du circuit qui est admissible au prochain repêchage de la LNH.

Deuxième choix au total du repêchage 2025 de la LHJMQ en raison notamment de ses qualités de marqueur et son flair offensif, Arsenault sort de sa coquille après une première saison où il a été limité à neuf buts et cinq aides en 58 rencontres. Il connaît tout un départ cette saison avec ses quatre buts et deux passes après quatre matchs.
Arsenault et l’Océanic se préparent pour une séquence de trois parties en quatre jours qui débutera par des parties à Sherbrooke, jeudi et vendredi, avant de recevoir Charlottetown, dimanche à 15 h.
Lundi, Mathys Dubé et Justin Beaulieu ont été nommés sur l’équipe de la dernière semaine de la LHJMQ.

Nine American citizens have been killed by Israeli settlers or security forces in occupied West Bank since 2022
The US Senate on Tuesday evening rejected along mostly party lines a Democratic resolution that would have forced the state department to report to Congress on violence in the occupied West Bank, including the killings of nine American citizens by Israeli settlers or security forces over the last few years.
The resolution, led by the Maryland Democrat Chris Van Hollen, would have given the state department 30 days to report to Congress on those deaths and on wider human rights conditions in the territory, including Israel’s detention of Palestinian children.

Bill Gates thinks A.I. alarmism hasn’t gone far enough. He believes the years ahead will be marred by catastrophic cyberattacks, bio-terrorism and mass job loss unless the government acts, because he thinks the idea that the A.I. industry can just self-regulate is “insane.”
I was struck in the conversation by how genuinely afraid Gates seemed to be that we are not ready for the consequences of what we are building, and how emphatic he was that so many of the people in positions of authority are in complete denial about what he thinks is about to happen.
Gates is a pioneering technologist, the co-founder of Microsoft and the chair of Gates Foundation, which is set to spend down around $200 billion over the next two decades. He recently announced that trying to make A.I. a force for equality in the world, as opposed to an impetus for inequality, is a new priority of his foundation’s work.
