LONDON — Britain must engage with China rather than isolate Beijing in a “new Cold War,” the U.K. foreign secretary will say Tuesday in a warning shot to Tory China hawks.James Cleverly will set out the U.K.’s approach toward China in a long-awaited speech on Tuesday, weeks after the government’s updated Integrated Review of defense and foreign policy described relations with the emerging superpower as an “epoch-defining and systemic challenge.”Cleverly is expected to set out a three-pronged approach for relations with Beijing — limiting Chinese involvement in sectors deemed critical for national security; strengthening ties with Indo-Pacific allies; and — most controversially — engaging with China directly to promote stable relations.And in a message to the increasingly outspoken China hawks within his Conservative Party, the foreign secretary will warn against an era of open confrontation with Beijing that might harm the U.K.’s economic interests and limit the West’s ab...

Local elected leaders have launched a new push for public transportation at no cost to riders across the country as they re-introduce the “Freedom to Move Act.” Senator Ed Markey and Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley recently discussed the legislation, which would bring in government funding to support free rides, at an event at Ruggles station in Boston on Monday. The move comes as Boston already has an experiment in place using federal funds to eliminate fares on three local bus routes. Officials say ridership on buses went up by 35% with the elimination of fares. The move has also put more money in the pockets of riders including Connie Forbes, who recently discussed her free public transit rides. “You just get on the bus and you put yourself into a seat, you’re done,” Forbes told 7NEWS. “Instead of having to figure out where to put the money in the meter or tap your card.““This is actually saving us a bit of money to go towards something essential like food,...

He strictly played the outfield for the Yankees, but the Twins had him at first base and batting seventh at Target Field.“He’s obviously got a ton of power,” Boone said before the game. “He’s already hit some home runs this year.

So I don’t think it’s surprising to us necessarily that he’s having some success here.”Gallo, who signed a one-year, $11 million contract with Minnesota in the offseason, didn’t appear by his locker when the Twins’ clubhouse was open to reporters Monday.The...
