The scenes are seared in the memory of the Rev. Ammar Altony Yako: A church that for decades has been the pride of the town of Qaraqosh, a center for Christian life in Iraq, stood badly scarred. Yako saw it in 2016 when Qaraqosh was liberated from more than two years of Islamic State group rule. Scrawled on a wall was the proclamation, the "Islamic State will remain.”
A group of 11 Hong Kong pro-democracy activists accused of subversion will stay in jail for at least another five days while judges consider whether to release them on bail, a court said Saturday. Hong Kong traditionally grants bail for non-violent offenses but the new law says bail cannot be granted unless a judge believes the defendant “will not continue to commit acts endangering national security.”
Mar. 6—A Hometown restaurant recently brought back a piece — rather, a slice — of the past when it added an old-time area favorite to its menu. And since Two Kings Pizzeria unveiled its version of pizza from the former Vitale's Restaurant, people can't seem to get enough. "It's been fantastic. There are quite a few people from around here who remember it," restaurant general manager Joe Benny ...
One highlight of Pope Francis' historic visit to Iraq is his meeting Saturday with a revered religious leader for Shiite Muslims, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani. Francis has spent years trying to improve Christian relations with Muslims and has already forged close ties with a prominent Sunni figure, Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb, grand imam of Al-Azhar, the seat of Sunni learning in Cairo. The 90-year-old al-Sistani is the top Shiite cleric in Iraq and a powerhouse in the Shiite world.

Mar. 6—The Movin' Maroons of Dieterich used a layup from Derek Kuhl at the buzzer to defeat the Altamont Indians Friday 52-50 in National Trail Conference play.

Mar. 6—OXFORD — Granville County school board members have their eyes on reducing the length of the board's six-year terms. The current term is unusual because a four-year term of office is the "default" for school boards in state law and what most school districts in North Carolina have at this point, said Eva DuBuisson, the Granville board's attorney. About a year ago, a proposal was brought ...
Mar. 6—Five local wrestlers with sights set on Hershey will continue on that quest Saturday at the PIAA East Super Regionals in Quakertown and Pottsville.

They're the 34 students who signed up for the Comets' esports club. They will compete against teams from Newfoundland to Florida, rather than playing only within the Wyoming Valley Conference. Esports requires players to cooperate and ...
Democrats in the U.S. Senate forged ahead with President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan early on Saturday, turning back Republican attempts to modify the package in a marathon session that had begun the prior day. With Republicans united in opposition, Democrats who narrowly control the chamber must keep all 50 of their members on board in order to pass the package, as they hope to do this weekend. Progress ground to a halt for more than 11 hours as Democrats negotiated a compromise on unemployment benefits to satisfy centrists, chiefly Senator Joe Manchin, who worried the massive package might overheat the economy.

Mar. 6—WARRENTON — Fresh off a dominant 40-7 season-opening victory over J.F. Webb last Thursday, Warren County looked to continue their momentum against a South Granville program coming off a loss to begin their year. Inefficiency on both sides of the ball in the first half forced Warren County to come back from a three-touchdown deficit, but a late surge proved to be futile as South ...

Qualifier Juan Manuel, 19, became the first player in 17 years to win an ATP title at the first attempt when he defeated Spain's world number 47 Albert Ramos-Vinolas in the final of the claycourt tournament in Cordoba on Sunday. The 22-year-old Francisco also came through tough qualifiers at Buenos Aires to reach only his second main draw and kept the hopes alive of a "Cerundolo sweep" in Argentina when he took down sixth seed Pablo Andujar 1-6 6-3 6-2 in the last eight. A trophy for Francisco will make them the seventh pair of brothers to win singles titles in the open era and the first to triumph in consecutive weeks.

An attempt to get U.N. Security Council approval for a statement calling for an end to violence in Ethiopia’s embattled Tigray region and to spotlight the millions in need of humanitarian assistance was dropped Friday night after objections from India, Russia and especially China, U.N. diplomats said. The press statement would have been the first by the U.N.’s most powerful body on the Tigray crisis, which is entering its fourth month. Fierce fighting reportedly continues between Ethiopian and allied forces and those supporting the now-fugitive Tigray leaders who once dominated Ethiopia’s government and alarm is growing over the fate of Tigray’s 6 million people.
