Spain’s king asks conservative leader Feijóo to form government

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:13:49 GMT

Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the conservative Popular Party, has been given the first shot at forming a new Spanish government.Spain’s king, Felipe VI, on Tuesday decided that Feijóo, whose party won the most votes in last month’s inconclusive national election, should try and form a coalition.But Feijóo’s efforts will surely be doomed. The PP failed to secure the number of seats in parliament needed to govern, and even with the backing of the far-right Vox party, Feijóo won’t be able to overcome the opposition of a majority of Spain’s MPs.Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is in a better position to remain in post. Sánchez and his left-wing allies control 171 of the 350 seats in the parliament, which means that in order to form a government he would need to persuade several MPs belonging to the Catalan separatist Junts party to vote for him.However, last week Sánchez received a boost when Junts gave its votes to Francina Armengol, the Socialist candidate for ...

Aspirin can help reduce risk of second heart attack, but study finds less than half of eligible adults take it

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:13:49 GMT

(CNN) — For adults who have survived a heart attack or stroke, taking aspirin regularly may reduce the risk of another cardiovascular event. But a new study suggests that less than half of these cardiovascular disease patients around the world are using aspirin to prevent a new event.Among people with a history of cardiovascular disease who were surveyed in the new study, only about 40% reported taking aspirin to prevent another heart attack, stroke or cardiovascular event.The proportion of patients using aspirin to reduce the risk of a secondary event varied by country, however, ranging from 16.6% in low-income countries such as Afghanistan, Benin and Ethiopia to 65% in high-income countries such as Czechia, the UK and the US, according to the study, published Tuesday in the medical journal JAMA.“We had hoped that the rates of aspirin use for secondary prevention would be much higher.

Springfield Police Department wants hundreds of records removed from discipline database

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:13:49 GMT

The Springfield Police Department petitioned state regulators Tuesday to remove hundreds of entries associated with its officers from an online disciplinary records database only hours after it launched.Department leaders first saw the database Tuesday morning after it was published, spokesman Ryan Walsh said. After reviewing it, Walsh said “we are having conversations” to remove more than 220 of their 417 complaints and “numerous officers” from the database maintained by the Peace Officers Standards and Training Commission.“Any outcome that resulted with a ‘retraining’ are not disciplinary and are not sustained complaints. We expect to have this issue remediated in the near-future,” Walsh said in a statement to the Herald.Walsh said the department hopes to have the records removed “as soon as possible.” He said the issue may have stemmed from having to submit records multiple times to the POST Commission over the past two years as regulators sought to gather them for publication.“W...

Home sales slumped in July as rising mortgage rates and prices discouraged many would-be homebuyers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:13:49 GMT

By ALEX VEIGA (AP Business Writer)LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes fell in July to the slowest pace since January, as elevated mortgage rates and a stubbornly low inventory of homes on the market combined to discourage many would-be homebuyers. Existing home sales fell 2.2% last month from June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.07 million, the National Association of Realtors said Tuesday. That’s below the 4.15 million pace that economists were expecting, according to FactSet. Sales slumped 16.6% compared with July last year. It was also the lowest home sales for the month of July since 2010. The annual sales decline was steepest in markets across the Northeast and Midwest, where sales slumped 20% or more, the NAR said.Despite falling sales, competition for a near-historic low level of homes on the market helped drive prices higher. The national median sales price rose 1.9% from July last year to $406,700, marking the first annual increa...
