The war between Israel and Hamas has fueled an increased risk of attacks that might be carried out by radicalized Islamists inside Germany, the country’s domestic intelligence agency warned on Wednesday.“We have been observing the declared intention of Islamists to carry out attacks in the West for some time now,” said Thomas Haldenwang, the president of Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution. “However, a new dimension is now emerging.”The agency has observed increased calls for attacks among actors in the “jihadist spectrum,” Haldenwang said, while Al-Qaeda and ISIS are attempting to “latch on” to the conflict in the Middle East in order to win new supporters.The danger of attacks “is real and higher than it has been for a long time,” Haldenwang added.Much of the threat comes from the potential for radicalized individuals to attempt attacks on “soft targets,” according to th...

After being diagnosed with breast cancer at 22, she wants young women to know their risk

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 04:33:37 GMT

Devon Brown knew not to ignore it when she found a lump in her breast that just didn’t seem quite right.“It felt very round and hard, so that was pretty abnormal,” she said.A biopsy confirmed she was right to worry: the lump was cancerous. And so Brown, a 22-year-old Loveland resident, joined the unenviable, growing group of young people fighting cancers that generally had been considered diseases of later life.Nationwide, the rate of cancers before age 50 increased about 4.4% in women from 2010 to 2019, but decreased about 4.9% in men. Breast cancer accounted for the largest share of early diagnoses, though rates increased faster for cancers of the digestive system. Most of the increase came from people in their 30s, with rates holding steady for other groups.It’s not just an American phenomenon, either: cancer diagnoses worldwide in people between 14 and 49 increased 79% between 1990 and 2019, according to a study in the British Medical Journal of Oncology. Some of the increase ma...

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 04:33:37 GMT

By FARNOUSH AMIRI (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans are considering holding a formal vote next month to authorize the impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden as the party looks to legitimize a process that has yet to yield any direct evidence of wrongdoing by the president. GOP leaders floated the possibility of a vote during a closed-door meeting with Republican lawmakers Wednesday morning, according to a person familiar with the private discussion who was granted anonymity to discuss it.The possible reversal from House Republicans comes amid a growing standoff with the White House over requests for information related to Biden and his family. Republican leaders have long said a vote on the impeachment investigation was unnecessary, but are reconsidering as White House lawyers use the lack of formal House authorization to argue that the entire investigation lacks “constitutional legitimacy.”Yet holding a vote on the impeachment investigation would b...
