MADRID (AP) — Atletico Madrid conceded three goals in a Spanish league game for the first time this season but still managed to beat Sevilla 4-3 on Sunday with Antoine Griezmann’s double helping to make it nine wins in a row for Diego Simeone’s in-form side. Third-place Madrid restored its three-point lead over fourth-place Athletic Bilbao, which beat Villarreal earlier Sunday. Rodrigo De Paul gave Atletico the perfect start when he lashed home a stunning opener in the 10th minute. However, goals from Dodi Lukébakio, Isaac Romero and Juanlu Sanchez put Sevilla 3-1 up early in the second half and Atletico, without the vocal support of some home fans in a dispute over tickets, seemed lost in an unusually quiet at Metropolitano Stadium. Simeone’s side, though, is known for its resilience and it was not long before the fightback began. Griezmann reduced the deficit in the 62nd minute and 17 minutes later, after Simeone made five substitutions in a quarter of an hour, Samuel Lino got the equalizer with a low shot from 30 yards. Griezmann himself got the winner in stoppage time to consolidate Atletico’s third place. The Madrid club now has 35 points, one behind city rival Real and three behind league leader Barcelona. “We struggled to get into the game,” Griezmann said. “We missed the support of the fans behind the goal. But in the end we managed to come back.” Fourth-place Bilbao beats Villarreal Athletic Bilbao consolidated fourth place with a comfortable 2-0 win over Villarreal, the team immediately below it in the table and one of its closest rivals for a Champions League spot. Aitor Paredes put Athletic ahead when he glanced home a corner kick in 14 minutes and Iñaki Williams made it 2-0 midway through the second half. It was the fourth consecutive league win for Athletic but the victory was marred by a silent protest from an organized fan group. The group refused to sing or chant in response to a rift between it and the club president, who reported threats to police earlier in the week. Several Athletic players expressed solidarity with the president and the team did not salute the fans behind the goal after the match. “It’s a very sad win and a time for everyone to pull together,” club captain Óscar De Marcos said in comments reported by newspaper Marca. “The silence was notable during the game but we need to keep doing our job.” Earlier Sunday, Real Sociedad won for the fourth time in a row, beating Leganes 3-0 at the Butarque stadium near Madrid. Three days after his extra-time goal gave Sociedad a 1-0 win at fourth-tier Conquense in the Copa del Rey, Brais Méndez scored again to give the visitors an early lead. Substitute Ander Barrenetxea’s first goal of the league season doubled its lead 10 minutes from time and then Mikel Oyarzabal added a third in stoppage time. It was only the fourth time in 16 matches that Sociedad has scored twice in a league game and the win lifted it into sixth, above Osasuna, which drew 2-2 with Alaves. Alaves took only 37 seconds for Kike Garcia to put the team ahead with a diving header. However, Ante Budimir and Rubén García scored early in the second half to put Osasuna in front before Kike Garcia got his second of the game to tie the scores at 2-2. The point was the first for new Alaves coach Eduardo Coudet but still leaves it in 15th place without a win in five games. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer AdvertisementNoneSt. Thomas police officers were called to attend a south end restaurant for an assault Friday.

(TNS) — One version of how artificial intelligence safety might play out at the highest levels of government was on display on a rainy Wednesday at the Golden Gate Club in San Francisco's Presidio, where officials from the newly established U.S. AI Safety Institute and experts from around the world convened to hammer out common rules and testing regimes for AI programs. The meeting of the International Network of AI Safety Institutes, a 10-nation consortium working on international norms and safety procedures for emerging AI software, was meant to support what could become a trillion-dollar market while at the same time ensuring AI doesn't hurt people. "One of the most important actions we can take to advance AI safety and innovation is close collaboration with our global partners," said the U.S. institute's director, Elizabeth Kelly, flanked by American flags and backdropped by a rain-shrouded Golden Gate Bridge. The event included representatives from Australia, Canada, the European Union, France, Japan, Kenya, Singapore, South Korea and the U.K. Weighing over the collaborative approach and the hundreds of assembled participants from government, industry and academia was uncertainty prompted by the arrival of a second Trump administration. As experts talked cooperation, they considered the risk that new U.S. leadership could see America go it alone and follow whatever rules it sees fit for AI. President-elect Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of international accords during his first term, including agreements on climate action and nuclear weapons, and he made it clear during the 2024 campaign that he intends to undo President Joe Biden's executive order on building safe and secure AI. He has also said repeatedly that his priority is to stay ahead of China in AI development. That perspective currently enjoys support on both sides of the aisle. A bipartisan Congressional committee has called for funding advanced AI research to ensure that the U.S. continues to outstrip China's progress. And in prerecorded remarks delivered at the conference, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said the U.S. and its allies must work to "ensure the Chinese Communist Party does not write the rules of the road on this critical technology." The unanswered question is whether the new administration might hamper international cooperation, including a planned AI summit in Paris in February. Indiana Republican Sen. Todd Young suggested in prerecorded remarks at the summit that — for now — the U.S. won't take an isolationist approach. "Global collaboration is essential," he said. "The challenges and opportunities (AI) presents can't be tackled by one country alone." Trump adviser Elon Musk, who owns his own AI company, also could persuade the president-to-be to remain engaged with global stakeholders. Musk has repeatedly warned of the potential risk that unchecked AI poses to human life. The keynote address at Wednesday's event was delivered by U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, whose department oversees the U.S. AI institute. "We are home to the greatest AI companies in the world," she said. "That means we have an obligation to lead in the work of AI safety." Raimondo warned of the risks of the technology, but also its myriad benefits in medicine and education. "AI in the hands of non-state actors applied to bioterrorism ... gets pretty scary pretty fast," she said. But, "we have a choice; we're the ones developing this technology. Let's not let our ambition blind us and allow us to sleepwalk into our own undoing." The meeting included talks with AI luminaries like Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, European Commission AI office director Lucilla Sioli, and former California Supreme Court Justice and Gov. Gavin Newsom AI adviser Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar, among others. Amodei raised an alarm about the potential for autocratic governments to use AI to build massive misinformation campaigns, and the threat posed by increasingly autonomous AI programs that companies like his are building. The U.S. institute recently announced it had worked with Amodei's company, as well as OpenAI, to test its latest AI models before release for risks such as the willingness of the software to help supercharge a cyber attack. "We absolutely have to make testing mandatory," Amodei conceded. "But we have to be really careful about how we do it." During her own remarks, Raimondo said that "if you can't certify that an AI system is safe, it shouldn't be released." Raimondo also stressed that the U.S. AI Safety Institute, is "not a regulator," but more akin to a government science lab. "We also don't want to be in the business of stifling innovation," she said. Newsom vetoed a California bill earlier this year aimed at requiring some testing for the largest AI programs. To guard against potential harms such as AI-powered cyber attacks, the U.S. AI agency said ahead of the event that it plans to convene the departments of defense, energy, and others to study how AI programs can be safety tested in areas such as cybersecurity and for military uses. The international consortium also issued a joint statement of purpose on Wednesday promising to "facilitate a common technical understanding of AI safety risks and mitigations," and unveiled testing results from big AI programs like Meta's Llama 3 on its general academic knowledge, certain types of hallucinations and linguistic capabilities. Governments from the U.S., South Korea, Australia and a host of nonprofits announced $11 million in funding aimed at curbing AI being used to commit fraud, impersonate people and contribute to child sexual abuse material. France's first-ever AI minister, Clara Chappaz, in San Francisco for the conference, furthered the theme of global cooperation in a briefing on Thursday. The scheduled February meeting in Paris, she said, will include heads of state and will "not only focus on safety, but see safety as a tool to build confidence in this technology so that people can adopt" AI more readily. Asked about the possibility of the U.S. pulling out of the Paris summit, Chappaz said, "we truly believe that everyone needs to be around the table, and so everyone will be invited." ©

Chandrababu Naidu and former chairman and managing director of Kakinada Seaports Limited (KSPL) KV Rao for making false and baseless allegations against him regarding Kakinada Port and SEZ transactions. He told reporters in New Delhi Naidu has been conspiring to tarnish his reputation by using KV Rao as a front to file fabricated cases. Vijayasai Reddy said that KV Rao is a broker and a close associate of Naidu, being used to spread lies about the YSRCP leader. He clarified that the claims of threats and illegal deals involving Kakinada Port are entirely false. He questioned why Rao, who spends most of his time abroad, chose to make these accusations after over four years of silence. Criticising the lookout notices issued against him, Vijayasai Reddy called them politically motivated and aimed at defaming him. He emphasised that the Chief Minister is using these tactics to mislead the public and cover up his own failures. He said the defamation suit, to be filed in the High Court next week, will expose the Chief Minister’s vendetta politics and Rao’s dubious role. Vijayasai Reddy further stated that Chandrababu Naidu’s focus on false narratives instead of governance is harming the state. He warned that Chandrababu Naidu will face legal and political consequences for his actions, and assured that the YSRCP will hold him accountable when it returns to power. KV Rao has filed a complaint with the Andhra Pradesh CID alleging the forcible acquisition of Kakinada Port shares worth Rs 2,500 crore for just Rs 494 crore during the YSRCP rule. The former chairman and MD of KSPL has accused former chief minister Jagan Mohan Reddy of orchestrating the illegal acquisition. The FIR also names Vijayasai Reddy, Rajya Sabha MP Y. V. Subba Reddy’s son Y. Vikrant Reddy, Sharath Chandra Reddy, a non-executive director of Aurobindo Pharma, and auditing firm PKF Sridhar & Santhanam. According to the complaint, 40 per cent of Kakinada Port, valued at Rs 2,500 crore, was forcibly acquired for just Rs 494 crore. Similarly, 49 per cent of Kakinada Special Economic Zone (SEZ), worth Rs 400 crore, was purchased for a mere Rs 12 crore, even after a competing offer from GMR Group for the full amount. The CID has issued lookout notices against Vijayasai Reddy, Vikrant Reddy and Sharat Chandra Reddy to stop them from leaving the country. In another development, Vikrant Reddy, who is named as A1 in the case, has filed a petition in the Andhra Pradesh High Court for anticipatory bail. He denied allegations made against him.DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Ousted Syrian leader Bashar Assad fled to Moscow and received asylum from his longtime ally, Russian media said Sunday, hours after a stunning rebel advance seized control of Damascus and ended his family’s 50 years of iron rule . Thousands of Syrians poured into streets echoing with celebratory gunfire and waved the revolutionary flag in scenes that recalled the early days of the Arab Spring uprising, before a brutal crackdown and the rise of an insurgency plunged the country into a nearly 14-year civil war. The swiftly moving events raised questions about the future of the country and the wider region. “Our approach has shifted the balance of power in the Middle East," President Joe Biden said , crediting action by the U.S. and its allies for weakening Syria’s backers — Russia, Iran and Hezbollah. He called the fall of Assad a “fundamental act of justice” but also a “moment of risk and uncertainty,” and said rebel groups are “saying the right things now” but the U.S. would assess their actions. Russia requested an emergency session of the U.N. Security Council to discuss Syria, according to Dmitry Polyansky, its deputy ambassador to the U.N., in a post on Telegram. The arrival of Assad and his family in Moscow was reported by Russian agencies Tass and RIA, citing an unidentified source at the Kremlin. A spokesman there didn't immediately respond to questions. RIA also said Syrian insurgents had guaranteed the security of Russian military bases and diplomatic posts in Syria. Earlier, Russia said Assad left Syria after negotiations with rebel groups and that he had given instructions to transfer power peacefully. The leader of Syria's biggest rebel faction, Abu Mohammed al-Golani , is poised to chart the country’s future. The former al-Qaida commander cut ties with the group years ago and says he embraces pluralism and religious tolerance. His Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group, or HTS, is considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. and the U.N. In his first public appearance since fighters entered the Damascus suburbs Saturday, al-Golani visited the Umayyad Mosque and described Assad's fall as “a victory to the Islamic nation.” Calling himself by his given name, Ahmad al-Sharaa, and not his nom de guerre, he said Assad had made Syria “a farm for Iran’s greed.” The rebels face the daunting task of healing bitter divisions in a country ravaged by war and split among armed factions. Turkey-backed opposition fighters are battling U.S.-allied Kurdish forces in the north, and the Islamic State group is still active in remote areas. Syrian state television broadcast a rebel statement saying Assad had been overthrown and all prisoners had been released. They urged people to preserve the institutions of “the free Syrian state,” and announced a curfew in Damascus from 4 p.m. to 5 a.m. An online video purported to show rebels freeing dozens of women at the notorious Saydnaya prison, where rights groups say thousands were tortured and killed . At least one small child was seen among them. “This happiness will not be completed until I can see my son out of prison and know where is he,” said one relative, Bassam Masr. "I have been searching for him for two hours. He has been detained for 13 years.” Rebel commander Anas Salkhadi appeared on state TV and sought to reassure religious and ethnic minorities, saying: “Syria is for everyone, no exceptions. Syria is for Druze, Sunnis, Alawites, and all sects.” “We will not deal with people the way the Assad family did," he added. Damascus residents prayed in mosques and celebrated in squares, calling, “God is great.” People chanted anti-Assad slogans and honked car horns. Teenage boys picked up weapons apparently discarded by security forces and fired into the air. Soldiers and police fled their posts and looters broke into the Defense Ministry. Families wandered the presidential palace, walking by damaged portraits of Assad. Other parts of the capital were empty and shops were closed. “It’s like a dream. I need someone to wake me up," said opposition fighter Abu Laith, adding the rebels were welcomed in Damascus with “love.” Rebels stood guard at the Justice Ministry, where Judge Khitam Haddad said he and colleagues were protecting documents. Outside, residents sought information about relatives who disappeared under Assad. The rebels “have felt the pain of the people,” said one woman, giving only her first name, Heba. She worried about possible revenge killings by the rebels, many of whom appeared to be underage. Syria’s historically pro-government newspaper al-Watan called it “a new page for Syria. We thank God for not shedding more blood.” It added that media workers should not be blamed for publishing past government statements ordered from above. A statement from the Alawite sect that formed the core of Assad's base called on young Syrians to be “calm, rational and prudent and not to be dragged into what tears apart the unity of our country.” The rebels mainly come from the Sunni Muslim majority in Syria, which also has sizable Druze, Christian and Kurdish communities. In Qamishli in the northeast, a Kurdish man slapped a statue of the late leader Hafez Assad with his shoe. The rebel advances since Nov. 27 were the largest in recent years, and saw the cities of Aleppo, Hama and Homs fall within days as the Syrian army melted away. The road to Damascus from the Lebanese border was littered with military uniforms and charred armored vehicles. Russia, Iran and Hezbollah, which provided crucial support to Assad, abandoned him as they reeled from other conflicts. The end of Assad’s rule was a major blow to Iran and its proxies, already weakened by conflict with Israel . Iran said Syrians should decide their future “without destructive, coercive, foreign intervention.” The Iranian Embassy in Damascus was ransacked after apparently having been abandoned. Hossein Akbari, Iran’s ambassador to Syria, said it was “effectively impossible” to help the Syrian government after it admitted the insurgents' military superiority. Speaking on Iranian state media from an undisclosed location, he said Syria's government decided Saturday night to hand over power peacefully. “When the army and the people could not resist, it was a good decision to let go to prevent bloodshed and destruction,” Akbari said, adding that some of his colleagues left Syria before sunrise. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, speaking on state TV, said there were concerns about the “possibility of civil war, disintegration of Syria, total collapse and turning Syria into a shelter for terrorists.” Syrian Prime Minister Mohammed Ghazi Jalali has said the government was ready to “extend its hand” to the opposition and turn its functions over to a transitional government. A video on Syrian opposition media showed armed men escorting him from his office to a hotel. The U.N.’s special envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen, has called for urgent talks in Geneva to ensure an “orderly political transition.” The Gulf nation of Qatar, a key regional mediator, hosted an emergency meeting of foreign ministers and top officials from eight countries with interests in Syria late Saturday, including Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia and Turkey. Majed al-Ansari, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, said they agreed on the need “to engage all parties on the ground," including the HTS, and that the main concern is “stability and safe transition.” Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israeli troops had seized a buffer zone in the Golan Heights established in 1974, saying it was to protect Israeli residents after Syrian troops abandoned positions. Israel’s military later warned residents of five southern Syria communities to stay home for their safety, and didn’t respond to questions. Israel captured the Golan in the 1967 Mideast war and later annexed it. The international community, except for the U.S., views it as occupied, and the Arab League on Sunday condemned what it called Israel’s efforts to take advantage of Assad’s downfall to occupy more territory.
