WASHINGTON — The Senate passed legislation Tuesday that would force TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell the social media platform under the threat of a ban, a contentious move by U.S. lawmakers that’s expected to face legal challenges and disrupt the lives of content creators who rely on the short-form video app for income. The TikTok legislation was included as part of a larger $95 billion package that provides foreign aid to Ukraine and Israel and was passed 79-18. It now goes to President Joe Biden, who has backed the TikTok proposal and has said he will sign the package as soon as he gets it. A decision made by House Republicans last week to attach the TikTok bill to the high-priority package helped expedite its passage in Congress and came after negotiations with the Senate, where an earlier version of the bill had stalled. That version had given TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, six months to divest its stakes in the platform. But it drew skepticism from some key lawmakers concerned it was too short of a window for a complex deal that could be

SAN FRANCISCO — Word to the rest of baseball: Logan Webb is on a roll. So, too, was his opponent Tuesday evening, Luis Severino, and in a battle to see which starter would break first, Webb outlasted the Mets right-hander to guide the way to a 5-1 win, only the third time all season the Giants have prevailed in consecutive games. Webb walked off the mound for the final time to a standing ovation from the paid attendance of 25,453, saluting him for eight scoreless innings. He scattered six hits, walked one and more or less mowed through the Mets lineup before handing off a comfortable lead to Tyler Rogers and Camilo Doval for the final three outs. The Giants’ winning streak with their ace on the hill grew to four, with Webb going at least seven innings in all of them. Dating back to the one run he allowed in a win over the Rays last Saturday, Webb has reeled off 19 consecutive scoreless innings and has a 0.93 ERA since the Giants last lost one of his starts. “It’s huge for any team

By EDITH M. LEDERER (Associated Press) UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United Nations called Tuesday for “a clear, transparent and credible investigation” of mass graves uncovered at two major hospitals in war-torn Gaza that were raided by Israeli troops. Credible investigators must have access to the sites, U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters, and added that more journalists need to be able to work safely in Gaza to report on the facts. Earlier Tuesday, U.N. human rights chief Volker Türk said he was “horrified” by the destruction of the Shifa medical center in Gaza City and Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis as well as the reported discovery of mass graves in and around the facilities after the Israelis left. He called for independent and transparent investigations into the deaths, saying that “given the prevailing climate of impunity, this should include international investigators.” “Hospitals are entitled to very special protection under international humanitarian law,” Türk said. “And the intentional killing of civilians, detainees and others who are ‘hors de combat’ (incapable of engaging in combat) is a war crime.” U.S. State Department

SAN FRANCISCO — When he was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays last week, Mitch White packed up his things, headed west and tried to manifest destiny. “It couldn’t have worked out better,” the 29-year-old right-hander said Tuesday afternoon from his new locker in the Giants’ clubhouse. Sitting at home in San Diego, White received a call from assistant general manager Jeremy Shelley, who informed him that the Giants had worked out a trade with Toronto. San Francisco sent cash considerations, and the San Jose-born pitcher would get the chance to suit up for the team he grew up rooting for. Taking the place of rookie Landen Roupp, who was optioned to Triple-A, White brings experience and the ability to pitch multiple innings to the Giants’ bullpen. “Being from San Jose, that was the team,” White said, naming Matt Cain as his favorite player. “Especially those years from ’10 to ’14 were awesome. … Obviously all those guys were sick.” White made his offseason home in San Francisco before moving south for training purposes, and before his daily commute took him to Oracle Park

FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) — Investigators continue to look for a motive along with who is responsible for continuously setting fire to cypress trees in local cemeteries. Officials with Ararat Armenian Cemetery say the fires started in January with one or two trees at a time. Since these early fires started close to a homeless encampment, investigators initially thought the fires may have been started for warmth. “When the city, the county, and the railroad all got together and moved that encampment along, we felt a sense of relief. We thought, okay, the fire problem would go away,” said Sheri Manning-Cartwright with Ararat and Massis Ararat Armenian Cemeteries. It did for a time, but about a month later the problem returned worse than ever. Old cypress trees were set ablaze across the 160 acre complex of interconnect cemeteries with six different ownerships. Out of the 30 trees burned, 21 of those trees were located at the Ararat Armenian Cemetery leaving them feeling targeted “We’ve now lost 21 trees. Our biggest incident was on April 13th, when we lost eight trees. What you see going on

By 6abc Digital Staff Wednesday, April 24, 2024 1:06AM People gathered in Belgium for the European Championship of Seagull screeching. BELGIUM — People young and old gathered in De Panne, Belgium, on April 21, for the European Championships of Gullscreeching. Footage recorded by Niel Van Herck shows the event, where competitors — often in fancy dress — did their best impressions of a screeching seagull while a full house watched on. The event, which is in its fourth year, was attended by competitors from countries, including England, Sweden, and France. The title was taken by a Portuguese scientist, Belgian media reported. In the junior category, a fledgling competitor from the UK, nine-year-old Cooper Wallace, took the win with a performance that included lunging at some fries held by his little sister, Shelby. Competitors were scored on both the sound of the screech and how well they understood gull behavior, the event organizer told local media. Copyright © 2024 WPVI-TV. All Rights Reserved.
