STORY: Thousands could be seen above the intersection of Cottman and Frankford Avenue as they took the party to the streets.

A pair of rushing touchdowns from Miles Sanders helped the Philadelphia Eagles to soar past the 49ers in the NFC Championship on Sunday, after injuries hit San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy and backup Josh Johnson.

The win at home sees the Eagles off to the Super Bowl for the second time in five years, where they will face either the Kansas City Chiefs or the Cincinnati Bengals, with the two AFC contenders playing later on Sunday.

  • Uganda passes bill banning identifying as LGBTQ

    STORY: The measure hands authorities broad powers to target Ugandans who already face legal discrimination and mob violence.More than 30 African countries, including Uganda, already ban same-sex relations. The new law appears to be the first to outlaw merely identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ), according to rights group Human Rights Watch.Supporters of the new law say it is needed to punish a broader array of LGBTQ activities, which they say threaten traditional values in the conservative and religious East African nation.In addition to same-sex intercourse, the law bans promoting and abetting homosexuality as well as conspiracy to engage in homosexuality.Violations under the law draw steep penalties including death for so-called aggravated homosexuality and life in prison for gay sex. Aggravated homosexuality involves gay sex with people under 18 years old or when the perpetrator is HIV positive, among other categories, according to the law.The legislation will be sent to President Yoweri Museveni to be signed into law.Museveni has not commented on the current proposal but he has long opposed LGBTQ rights and signed an anti-LGBTQ law in 2013 that Western countries condemned before a domestic court struck it down on procedural grounds.

  • Stocks close up on bank bounce, Fed takes focus

    STORY: Wall Street closed sharply higher on Tuesday as fears of a banking crisis abated, and investors turned their focus to the Federal Reserve.The Dow gained 1%, the S&P 500 climbed 1.3% and the Nasdaq jumped 1.6%.Much has changed since Fed policy makers last met: A one-two punch of regional bank failures, the rescue of First Republic Bank and the takeover of Credit Suisse.Now, Fed Chair Jerome Powell and team will have to balance fears of more damage to the banking sector with their original mission—to defeat inflation.And while markets have priced in an overwhelming likelihood of a 25 basis-point rate hike, Christian Ledoux, director of individual securities at CAPTRUST, says a pause in rate hikes should also be on the table.“The reality is, is that the banking situation is actually disinflationary, as banks are going to be responding to this by loaning less and being a little bit more conservative. So that may play into the Fed's ability to pause, in the short run, and thus maybe is a catalyst for stocks to go higher." Shares of First Republic saw their biggest-ever one-day percentage jump as JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon led talks with other big banks aimed at investing in the lender.Peers PacWest and Western Alliance also surged.Yellen: "Our intervention was necessary to protect the broader U.S. banking system."And Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Tuesday reiterated that U.S. banking system has stabilized, but warned more action from regulators might be needed.And in other market news, Tesla jumped nearly 8% after it appeared on track to report one of its best quarters ever in China – likely thanks to having been the first electric vehicle maker in the country to cut its prices in order to defend its market share.
