Argentine minister’s surprise showing sets up presidential election run-off with right-wing populist

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:12:49 GMT

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Economy Minister Sergio Massa produced a big surprise by finishing first in the opening round of Argentina’s presidential election, reflecting voters’ wariness about handing the presidency to his chief rival, a right-wing populist who upended national politics and pledged to drastically diminish the state.Massa’s victory over Javier Milei, a chainsaw-wielding economist and freshman lawmaker, came despite the fact that on his watch inflation has surged into triple digits, eating away at the purchasing power of salaries and boosting poverty. Still, he wasn’t punished in Sunday’s voting. With nearly all ballots counted early Monday, Massa had 36.7% of the vote and Milei had 30%, meaning the two will go to a Nov. 19 runoff. Most pre-election polls, which have been notoriously unreliable, had given Milei a slight lead over Massa. Former Security Minister Patricia Bullrich, of the main center-right opposition coalition, got 23.8% to finish third in the...

Rectangular pies inspire this weeknight salami-mozzarella pizza

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:12:49 GMT

Store-bought dough brings homemade pizza into the realm of easy weeknight cooking. To simplify prep even further, we took a cue from rectangular focaccia-like Sicilian pizza and Roman pizza al taglio.This recipe from our book “Tuesday Nights Mediterranean,” which features weeknight-friendly meals from the region, is for a sheet-pan pizza that doesn’t require dividing and shaping the dough and can be baked in a single batch without a pizza stone.We simply stretch the dough toward the edges of the pan, then top it with crushed tomatoes, cheese, salami and fresh sage. To prevent sticking, oil the baking sheet first with cooking spray, then with olive oil. The oil may seem like an excessive amount, but it adds flavor to the bottom crust and helps it crisp.Though you’re not tossing the dough like a pro, it still pays to get your hands a bit dirty to improve the flavor of the toppings. Tearing the mozzarella into irregular shapes and crushing the canned tomatoes by hand produces bits of d...

A situation unfolded in Miami when authorities rushed to assist a distressed naked man in the water near a sea wall on Brickell Key.On Monday morning, marine units surrounded the man, along with police officers, who were also seen on the sea wall as they attempted to aid in the situation. According to 7SkyForce’s Ralph Rayburn, the man was having issues before he jumped into the ocean. He reportedly was approached by law enforcement when he fled the scene with a knife. After he jumped into the water, he momentarily swam around the east side of Brickell Key for about 10 minutes until marine units arrived. Authorities managed to move him towards the sea wall. Video footage showed a police officer on a boat talking to the man as he held out a life preserver for him to hang onto. Officials are trying to get the man to comply and get him some help.

Warm & Dry to start the work week

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:12:49 GMT

Another warm and dry day ahead to start the work week in South Florida thanks to high pressure located over the mid-Atlantic states. Throughout the day this distant area of high pressure will help winds gradually increase along the coast. Therefore, a quick-moving shower possible on the breeze starting Tuesday as we tap into some low-level moisture from the Atlantic. For the middle part of the week, our main weather story will be the big breeze. Winds are set to go from breezy to windy due to a larger pressure difference taking place between high pressure and Hurricane Tammy in the Atlantic. This will funnel in strong winds along the coastline driving in a few passing showers and creating choppy to rough seas. King tides also return this week and with a strong onshore flow, nuisance street flooding risk will be higher around the problem spots during times of high tide. Have a wonderful day South Florida and make it a safe one! Vivian GonzalezMeteorologist, AMS Certified WSVN Channel 7
