Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:57:27 GMT

The sticker price on Ford’s F-150 Lightning electric pickup is being lowered by thousands of dollars due to increased plant capacity, falling costs for battery raw materials and internal efforts to scale production by the Detroit automaker.

WILTON MANORS, Fla. (AP) — When Alicia Griggs steps outside her suburban Fort Lauderdale home, Florida’s latest invasive species comes a-hoppin’ down the street: lionhead rabbits.The bunnies, which sport an impressive flowing mane around their heads, want the food Griggs carries. But she also represents their best chance of survival and moving where this domesticated breed belongs: inside homes, away from cars, cats, hawks, Florida heat and possibly government-hired exterminators.Griggs is spearheading efforts to raise the $20,000 to $40,000 it would cost for a rescue group to capture, neuter, vaccinate, shelter and then give away the estimated 60 to 100 lionheads now populating Jenada Isles, an 81-home community in Wilton Manors.They are descendants of a group a backyard breeder illegally let loose when she moved away two years ago.“They really need to be rescued. So we’ve tried to get the city to do it, but they’re just dragging their feet,” Griggs said. “They think th...

More Heat & Storms

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:57:27 GMT

*Heat Advisory in effect through Tuesday evening for Broward and Miami-Dade. *Heat Advisory for the Florida Keys from 10am to 6pm today. A more active weather pattern remains over the region due to deep tropical moisture keeping the air ripe for rain. By midweek, a tropical wave will track to our South to leave us with a chance of seeing showers and storms, especially in the afternoon. As a result, the rain chance will be fairly high through Friday. Models are continuing to insist on a large plume of Saharan dust moving in from the South and East. This could limit rain after what should be a hot and rainy week (at least at times). Have a wonderful day South Florida and make it a safe one!

Russia halts deal that allows export of Ukrainian grain

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:57:27 GMT

LONDON —  Russia halted a breakthrough wartime deal on Monday that allows grain to flow from Ukraine to countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia where hunger is a growing threat and high food prices have pushed more people into poverty.Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia would suspend the Black Sea Grain Initiative until its demands to get its own food and fertilizer to the world are met. While Russia has complained that restrictions on shipping and insurance have hampered its agricultural exports, it has shipped record amounts of wheat.“When the part of the Black Sea deal related to Russia is implemented, Russia will immediately return to the implementation of the deal,” Peskov said.The suspension marks the end of an accord that the U.N. and Turkey brokered last summer to allow food to leave the Black Sea region after Russia’s invasion of its neighbor worsened a global food crisis. The initiative is credited with helping lower soaring prices of wheat,...
