Between the state visit of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the presentation of a medal of honor to a black veteran of Vietnam, the information has passed under the radar a little. During a general check-up a month ago, US President Joe Biden had basal cell carcinoma removed from his chest, a form of skin cancer, his doctor Kevin O’Connor said in a report on Friday.

Julius Randle smokes Miami at the buzzer, victory for the Knicks!
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Tonight he was too strong. The Heat will have tried everything to win this match, including registering complicated baskets at the end of the game to put an end to the suspense. Too bad, because the boss of South Beach was named Julius Randle for 48 minutes. 43 points for the Knicks star, who scored his team’s last six points with a huge 3-point shot for the win. New York signs its eighth victory in a row!
An XXL job, that’s how we might familiarly describe Julius Randle’s performance tonight on the Miami side.
A big historical duel of the East, between the two main cities of the East coast, you followed. In short, a little more extra-basketball stake which can only make the case more pleasant to watch. Well pissed on our part, because it was given to both sides throughout the first quarter. No clear leader, before the Knicks finally emerge as the best team tonight. Julius Randle is already at twenty pawns at halftime, rather in good shape the client.
Even with almost twenty points behind, Erik Spoelstra’s men did not give up and returned to the backs of the Big Apple at the end of the match. Thank you Jimmy Butler, who notably caused 12 faults this evening. Impressive, but not enough to make the Knicks lose their nerves. In a room surprised by the cause of the visitors, the Heat must find Jimmy Butler then Tyler Herro late in the game to put South Beach ahead. Two complicated baskets, disputed, but inside.
The fade away is sublime, and clutch.pic.twitter.com/gIrLCWYw3E

120-119 Miami with twenty seconds to play and no time out for Tom Thibodeau. We did not go far from the big task in the boxer shorts in first intention with Jalen Brunson, but Julius Randle is a zinzin. Emergency recovery of the ball with a few seconds, shift in the 3-point wing with Tyler Herro in close bodyguard mode. Nothing to do, the strong man of the Bockers is tonight in another world. Unbalanced shot from the parking lot validated in string, 120-122. Miami will not recover. Julius Randle signs 43 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists at 16/25 shooting including… 8/13 from 3-pointers! Hot, we told you.

Russian forces are making further progress in the northern suburbs of Bakhmut
British military intelligence announced today, Saturday, that the defense of Ukrainian forces in Bakhmut, in the east of the country, is “under heavy pressure, as fighting rages in and around the city.”
British military intelligence added that “Ukrainian resupply routes outside Bakhmut are increasingly limited”.
It indicated that “the Russian regular forces and Wagner’s forces made further progress in the northern suburbs of Bakhmut.”
And British military intelligence reported that “Ukraine is reinforcing the area with elite units, and within the past 36 hours two major bridges in Bakhmut were destroyed.”
Yesterday, Friday, the commander of the Russian armed “Wagner” group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, announced that his forces had practically surrounded the city of Bakhmut, where the battles are currently concentrated in eastern Ukraine.
Listen to Prigozhin, Head of Wagner.????????

Prigozhin said in a video published by his media office via “Telegram” that “Wagner’s units have practically surrounded Bakhmut, and there is only one way left” to get out of the city.
On February 24, Wagner announced the control of the Ukrainian town of Berkhivka, north of Bakhmut, in a move that enabled it to cut off one of the most important supply routes for the Ukrainian army.

The Russian forces had previously announced the control of the town of Paraskovivka at the northern entrance to Bakhmut. Perkhivka is located to the southwest of Paraskovivka.
The leader of the “Wagner” group previously expected to control Bakhmut within two months, while Ukraine described the situation in Bakhmut as “the most difficult” in confronting Russian forces.
It is noteworthy that Bakhmut is a city located on both banks of the Pakhmutokva River in northern Donetsk Province in the Donbass region in eastern Ukraine, and there is a diversity in its demographics. In addition to Ukrainians and people of Russian origin, there are other minorities such as Belarusians and Armenians.
The city, in which Ukrainian fighters and others of various nationalities are holed up, is a hotbed of battles in western-central Donbass, as the Russian army continues its advance and encirclement of the city, which is a transportation hub in western Donbass.
Since the beginning of this winter, the fighting in the direction of Bakhmut has focused on artillery bombardment, with slow Russian advances on the ground. The Russian forces have made remarkable progress in recent weeks, especially in the north, as they took control of the city of Solidar last January.
