BERLIN (AP) — King Charles III commemorated the more than 30,000 people, mostly German civilians, who were killed in the Allied bombing of Hamburg almost 80 years ago as he visited the northern city Friday on the last leg of his first foreign trip since becoming monarch.The attack in July 1943 carried out by British and American planes using incendiary bombs was a response to Nazi Germany’s deadly aerial raids on Britain. It resulted in a firestorm which destroyed large parts of the city and remains a painful memory in the Hanseatic port’s proud history.Charles laid a wreath at the ruined church of St. Nikolai, now a memorial site, and listened to Hamburg’s Bishop Kirsten Fehrs read the Coventry Litany of Reconciliation, written to commemorate the destruction of the English city of Coventry by German bombers in 1940.Earlier, Charles and Camilla, the queen consort, visited a memorial to the Kindertransporte, or children’s transports, that saw more than 10,000 Jewish...

CHICAGO (AP) — Marcus Stroman is getting used to Major League Baseball’s new pitch clock. And it’s no small deal for the Chicago Cubs right-hander.“It’s tough,” he said. “It’s a big adjustment.”Stroman committed baseball’s first regular-season pitch-clock violation Thursday in the third inning of the Cubs’ 4-0 victory over Milwaukee on opening day. It was the first of 14 violations in 15 games on a day the average game time was 2 hours, 45 minutes. Five violations were by batters, eight by pitchers and one by a catcher as all MLB teams opened on the same day for the first time since 1968.Stroman took a long look at rookie Brice Turang leading off second base with no outs and Christian Yelich batting at Wrigley Field. Just as Stroman turned his attention back to Yelich, plate umpire Ron Kulpa called the violation for taking too long to deliver a pitch. Kulpa pointed to his wrist in announcing the call, and the automatic ball made it a 2-2 cou...

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (WSVN) — A Mallard duck was found with an arrow through its neck in a park located in Costa Mesa. The arrow, believed to have been shot from a crossbow, narrowly missed the bird’s trachea, providing a small ray of hope for the bird’s survival.The Mallard was discovered by a 10-year-old girl from Silverado who noticed the bird’s distress and immediately called for help. Wildlife experts from the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center in Huntington Beach were called to the scene and were able to safely sedate the bird and remove the arrow.Despite the traumatic injury, the Mallard duck is now recovering at the center, much to the surprise of the staff. “We can see the wall of the trachea up here and the arrow is right next to it, so it narrowly missed going through the trachea which we were very relieved to find out,” said Dr. Elizabeth Wood, who treated the bird.Animal control officers are now working to get DNA off of the arrow ...
