The UK has been battered with , ice, strong winds and rain - in what forecasters are calling a "multi-hazard event" as this morning. Large swathes of the north have already been blanketed in snow, with as much as 16 inches set to fall amid rare amber weather warnings issued by the for snow and ice. Disruption and delays have , leaving Brits due to travel from Newcastle, Leeds and Bradford stranded on flights for as long as three hours. has also been forced to ground 36 domestic and European flights to and from today, including two round-trips to Glasgow, Manchester and Nice. It comes as snow is expected as far south as the Welsh valleys, particularly around Aberdare, but the heaviest will be later in the morning across Cumbria and Lancashire. Elsewhere, the heaviest of the rain is feared across the Isle of Man, Dumfries and Galloway and the Scottish Borders. Brits have even been urged to stock up on essentials ahead of the storm as the country also braces for 70mph winds and heavy rain. Many have been warned they should expect power cuts – with some rural communities expected to become completely cut off over the coming days. British Gas customers were reportedly advised to stockpile three days’ worth of food and water if the weather disrupts travel and power. The energy provider also urged Brits to keep phone chargers, torches and batteries nearby. National Highways issued a "severe weather alert" for snow in Yorkshire and north-east England - with "blizzard conditions" set to arrive and up to five hours of heavy snow expected to "accumulate quickly at all levels". It said: "As the snow turns to rain, a rapid thaw is expected to set in as temperatures quickly rise with localised flooding possible." Met Office spokesman Oli Claydon said Storm Bert was a "multi-hazard event". He said: "We're looking at strong winds, some high snowfall accumulation, heavy rain, all in various different parts of the UK. So it's quite a complex weather set-up for the weekend. Generally speaking, it's a very unsettled weekend of weather ahead."A new study compiled a list of countries best for early-age entrepreneurs , and Canada ranks first having the youngest entrepreneurs, fast business setup time of 2 days, and highest ease of doing business index of 98. The survey also indicates that Portugal and South Africa stand out for having incredibly low costs to start a business—$0 and $13, respectively—making them financially accessible for new entrepreneurs. Furthermore, Israel ranks the highest in terms of the ‘Country Startup Friendliness Index’, making it a very favourable location for new businesses. These findings are based on research by Hostinger . The company analysed the best countries for early-age entrepreneurs by examining multiple factors. First, data on the average age of startup founders in each country was collected to identify which nations have younger entrepreneurs. The countries were then ranked from youngest to oldest based on founder age. To further assess startup friendliness, the researchers gathered data on additional factors, including the cost to start a business, the ease of doing business index, the time required to start a business, and the Country Startup Friendliness Index. Finally, the countries were ranked based on their overall startup environment, focusing on those offering the most supportive conditions for young entrepreneurs. This produced the following ranking: Canada tops the list and its strong business environment offers both ease of entry and moderate startup costs, making it an ideal destination for young entrepreneurs. Israel ranks second, offering a highly supportive environment for startups, particularly in the technology and innovation sectors. With an average age of 25 for startup founders, Israel combines youthful energy with strong business networks, fostering a dynamic startup culture. India ranks third with a composite score of 94. It boasts the fastest time required to start a business at just 1.5 days, though the cost to start a business is moderate at $1,036. Germany secures fourth place and has numerous business hubs like Berlin and Munich. Nigeria comes in fifth and Singapore ranks sixth. Portugal ranks seventh, positioning as one of the most financially accessible countries for entrepreneurs. The United Arab Emirates ranks eighth and The Netherlands secures ninth place offering one of the lowest costs to start a business at just $51. South Africa rounds up the ranking list.

Major stock indexes on Wall Street drifted to a mixed finish Friday, capping a rare bumpy week for the market. The S&P 500 ended essentially flat, down less than 0.1%, after wavering between tiny gains and losses most of the day. The benchmark index posted a loss for the week, its first after three straight weekly gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.2%, while the Nasdaq composite rose 0.1%, ending just below the record high it set on Wednesday. There were more than twice as many decliners than gainers on the New York Stock Exchange. Gains in technology stocks helped temper losses in communication services, financials and other sectors of the market. Broadcom surged 24.4% for the biggest gain in the S&P 500 after the semiconductor company beat Wall Street’s profit targets and gave a glowing forecast, highlighting its artificial intelligence products. The company also raised its dividend. The company's big gain helped cushion the market's broader fall. Pricey stock values for technology companies like Broadcom give the sector more weight in pushing the market higher or lower. Artificial intelligence technology has been a focal point for the technology sector and the overall stock market over the last year. Tech companies, and Wall Street, expect demand for AI to continue driving growth for semiconductor and other technology companies. Some tech stocks were a drag on the market. Nvidia fell 2.2%, Meta Platforms dropped 1.7% and Google parent Alphabet slid 1.1%. Among the market's other decliners were Airbnb, which fell 4.7% for the biggest loss in the S&P 500, and Charles Schwab, which closed 4% lower. Furniture and housewares company RH, formerly known as Restoration Hardware, surged 17% after raising its forecast for revenue growth for the year. All told, the S&P 500 lost 0.16 points to close at 6,051.09. The Dow dropped 86.06 points to 43,828.06. The Nasdaq rose 23.88 points to 19,926.72. Wall Street's rally stalled this week amid mixed economic reports and ahead of the Federal Reserve's last meeting of the year. The central bank will meet next week and is widely expected to cut interest rates for a third time since September. Expectations of a series of rate cuts has driven the S&P 500 to 57 all-time highs so far this year . The Fed has been lowering its benchmark interest rate following an aggressive rate hiking policy that was meant to tame inflation. It raised rates from near-zero in early 2022 to a two-decade high by the middle of 2023. Inflation eased under pressure from higher interest rates, nearly to the central bank's 2% target. The economy, including consumer spending and employment, held strong despite the squeeze from inflation and high borrowing costs. A slowing job market, though, has helped push a long-awaited reversal of the Fed's policy. Inflation rates have been warming up slightly over the last few months. A report on consumer prices this week showed an increase to 2.7% in November from 2.6% in October. The Fed's preferred measure of inflation, the personal consumption expenditures index, will be released next week. Wall Street expects it to show a 2.5% rise in November, up from 2.3% in October. The economy, though, remains solid heading into 2025 as consumers continue spending and employment remains healthy, said Gregory Daco, chief economist at EY. “Still, the outlook is clouded by unusually high uncertainty surrounding regulatory, immigration, trade and tax policy,” he said. Treasury yields edged higher. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.40% from 4.34% late Thursday. European markets slipped. Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.1%. Britain’s economy unexpectedly shrank by 0.1% month-on-month in October, following a 0.1% decline in September, according to data from the Office for National Statistics. Asian markets closed mostly lower.

You were elected to the WA Parliament in 2013, as the 23rd Irish-born MP in WA. What’s something distinctly Irish that you might have brought to the Parliament? I’m the first Irish-born WA MP in about 50 years. I was an Irish dancer (in Ireland) and sang Irish songs. I brought renewed enthusiasm for Irish culture to the WA Parliament. For example, we have a St Patrick’s event at Parliament every year now. You’re an openly gay politician. Has that presented any challenges during your parliamentary career? No, it hasn’t. I’ve been lucky, I’ve never been bullied openly. But I know members of my community have been. You came out in your late teens. Was that tough, coming out to your Irish Catholic family? It was. It was a challenge in the early days. It surprised my parents. They felt saddened because they didn’t think I would get the same opportunities as the rest of my siblings, like having a family. They were worried I wouldn’t be treated the same in society. It was harder for my mum. She worried about my future. We are a very close-knit family. They are very supportive. You are married to Dennis, who was the campaign co-ordinator for the WA Voice Yes campaign in WA. Two words to describe your husband. My rock. In fact, you’ve married Dennis three times. I’m probably the only person who has married the same person three times. We did it once in Ireland in 2012, when Ireland allowed Irish people to have a civil union. Then we did it in 2013 in Canberra. It (marriage) stood for six days in Canberra (because of the High Court challenge). And so, we did it again when Australia eventually voted to allow marriage equality in 2018. Dennis and I joke that our marriage in Canberra was at least longer than one of Brittany Spears’ weddings. You and Dennis are parents to a little boy, Jasper, who is 10. Is being a dad what you thought it would be? It’s been amazing. He is a delightful child and a loving individual. Jasper changed our lives immeasurably. I love being a parent. We co-parent with his mother. We share the parenting. He has a big Rainbow family, lot of parents, lots of grandparents, and lots of love. You were born in Dublin and emigrated to Australia in 1989 aged 14 with your mother and father, Phyllis and Noel, and sisters Mairead and Brid and brother Cormac. What was your first impressions of your new Aussie mates? It was like moving to the set of Home and Away. In Ireland I went to a Christian Brothers school which was very strict. To then go to Hollywood Senior High School in Perth was like being in Home and Away. Surfboards. Blokes with long hair, skateboards. But everyone was welcoming. I’m told you initially wanted to be an actor after leaving school. I did. I did some television ads and was in a miniseries for Channel 7. I won’t mention which one in case people track it down. I haven’t given up (on being an actor yet). They are always looking for Irish actors in shows. I’m available! Favourite actor? I love Morgan Freeman. I didn’t mind Arnold Schwarzenegger as well. I loved the way he said ‘I’ll be back’. You joined a union at age 14 working at Hungry Jack’s. Perhaps you were always destined to be a Labor politician? Probably. Dad was a shop steward in Ireland. I’d always been conscious of what unions deliver for working families. I joined the Labor Party in 1995. I was a candidate in 2008 for the Upper House and then in 2013 (former Labor minister) Jon Ford — who I had previously worked for — stepped down and I replaced him. You were Aboriginal Affairs Minister for nine months in 2021. The rollout of the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act in 2023 was a disaster. Why do you think that was the case? We got it wrong. The community wasn’t on side, and we made a decision to overturn it. Hindsight is a great thing. As the now Minister for Emergency Services, how worried are you about the upcoming bushfire season? This keeps me awake at night. Things sit in my conscience. I want to make sure our volunteers and our career fire fighters have the best equipment available. Equally, I want the community to do what they can do. We will have some significant fires this season, we will have some cyclones in the North West and floods. Joe Spagnolo When do the two extra Black Hawk helicopters and the Large aerial tanker arrive? Within next two weeks. You are a bit of a Mr Fix-It, you’ve been given a few portfolios. I’m hearing there may be a change in Health after the election? Interested? I serve at the pleasure of the Premier. I take whatever job I’m given. Amber’s done a great job in health. You are the member for Mining and Pastoral. What’s the biggest issue facing your electorate? Access to quality services. My electorate is far away from Perth, we don’t have the same access to doctors and medical specialists as you do in the city. So it’s really important we use things like technology to be able to link the citizens of my electorate with medical services. Two Indigenous boys have died while in prison under Labor’s watch. How do you react to that? Suicide is a tragedy. Some of these kids don’t have a chance from when they are born. So, it’s about trying to do all you can to put them on a right path and giving them the right support. Mental health treatment is really important. Number one issue this election? Ensuring that all West Australians are benefiting from our economy. Why do you think Labor will win a third term of government? I wouldn’t be so bold as to say Labor will win a third term, but we have been a very good team. We have delivered across the State in a range of areas. Do you want Anthony Albanese to go to the polls before or after the WA election in March? That’s a decision for the Prime Minister. We will run our own race in Western Australia. Describe Roger Cook. Team Player. Quality leader. Libby Mettam or Basil Zempilas — who would be the most formidable opponent? I think Libby is on borrowed time. I think that there will be a change (in leadership) before the election. We will compete against whoever is the leader. Will you be a career politician? I am here for a good time, not a long time. I am not here forever. I love it, but when I stop loving it, I expect I’ll make a decision.Manchester City's crisis continued with a 2-0 defeat away to Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday, while Pep Guardiola's old club Barcelona beat Borussia Dortmund to clinch a spot in the knockout stage of Europe's elite club competition. Arsenal, AC Milan, Atletico Madrid, Lille, Feyenoord and Stuttgart were also victorious, but City's latest loss in a miserable run will dominate the headlines. The 2023 European champions succumbed in Turin as Dusan Vlahovic put Juventus ahead early in the second half when goalkeeper Ederson was unable to keep out his header. Ilkay Gundogan was denied an equaliser by a fine Michele Di Gregorio save, before Weston McKennie made it 2-0 with a fine acrobatic finish in the 75th minute. The result leaves Juventus on 11 points with two games left, a tally that is expected to be enough to guarantee them at least a place in the knockout phase play-offs. City, meanwhile, have now won just once in 10 in all competitions, with seven defeats in that time. With just eight points, they currently sit 22nd in the standings, in which the top 24 advance to the knockouts. Their next game will be crucial, as they travel to a Paris Saint-Germain side who sit a point beneath Guardiola's men. "We have to get points, we'll go to Paris to try and do that and the same goes for the final match at home (to Club Brugge)," Guardiola told Amazon Prime in Italy. Barcelona are second in the standings with 15 points, behind only Liverpool, after beating Dortmund 3-2 in a thriller in Germany, with Ferran Torres their hero. Raphinha fired Barca ahead with his 17th goal of the season, early in a remarkable second half. Serhou Guirassy equalised with a penalty on the hour mark, but substitute Torres put Barca back in front on 75 minutes, converting the loose ball after Fermin Lopez's shot was saved. Guirassy scored again for a quick equaliser, only for Torres to strike once more and win the game for Barca with five minutes left. Barcelona's tally leaves them, like Liverpool, ideally placed to finish in the top eight, which means direct progress to the last 16 without having to go through the play-offs. Arsenal are third in the standings on 13 points after easing to a 3-0 win over Monaco in London. Bukayo Saka scored twice, putting the Gunners ahead in the first half and making it 2-0 on 78 minutes as the hosts pounced on disastrous Monaco defending. More from this section Saka then turned provider for the late third, with substitute Kai Havertz credited with the final touch. Mikel Arteta's team are one of six sides on 13 points, with Lille also on that tally after edging Sturm Graz 3-2 in France thanks to a fine late winner from Hakon Haraldsson. Lille were 2-0 up through Osame Sahraoui and Mitchel Bakker, only for goals by Otar Kiteishvili and Mika Biereth to bring the Austrian champions back level. However, Icelandic midfielder Haraldsson secured Lille's fourth win of the campaign. Atletico eased to a 3-1 victory over Slovan Bratislava, with Antoine Griezmann scoring twice after Julian Alvarez had opened the scoring with an excellent strike. David Strelec pulled one back for the Slovaks, who are one of three teams already eliminated having lost six games out of six. The others are RB Leipzig and Young Boys. Milan defeated Red Star Belgrade 2-1 at San Siro with Tammy Abraham grabbing the winner three minutes from time. Rafael Leao had put Milan ahead only for Nemanja Radonjic to equalise for the Serbian side, who have lost five of their six games and are surely heading out. Benfica edged closer to a play-off spot with a 0-0 draw at home to Bologna of Italy, who have scored just one goal in six games and will go no further. Feyenoord stayed on course to go through after beating Sparta Prague 4-2 in Rotterdam, with Gernot Trauner, Igor Paixao, Anis Hadj Moussa and Santiago Gimenez netting their goals. Stuttgart kept alive their hopes of progress by coming from behind to beat Young Boys 5-1. Lukasz Lakomy put Young Boys ahead but Angelo Stiller levelled before Enzo Millot, Chris Fuehrich, Josha Vagnoman and Yannik Keitel all scored in the second half. The next round of Champions League games is scheduled for January 21 and 22, with the league phase concluding the following week. as/jc

( MENAFN - Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) WASHINGTON, Dec 13 (KUNA) -- The United States and the People's Republic of China (PRC) have signed a protocol to amend the US-PRC Science and technology Agreement (STA) and extend it for five years. In a press statement on Friday, the US State Department said that the STA provides consistent standards for U.S.-PRC bilateral government-to-government scientific cooperation. "This modernized and strengthened Agreement sustains intellectual property protections, establishes new guardrails for implementing agencies to protect the safety and security of their researchers, and advances US interests through newly established and strengthened provisions on transparency and data reciprocity," reads the statement. It added that the amended Agreement ensures that any federal science and technology cooperation with the PRC under the STA benefits the United States and minimizes risks to US national security. "The amended Agreement covers only basic research; this Agreement does not facilitate the development of critical and emerging technologies," the State Department indicated. "The modernized STA is one way in which the United States is responsibly managing strategic competition with the PRC. It is the result of extensive consultations across the US Government and months of negotiation between the United States and the PRC."

UCF, LSU face off with improved focus in mindUCF will attempt to shake off a dreadful offensive performance when it collides with LSU on Sunday afternoon in the third-place game of the Greenbrier Tip-Off in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. The Knights (4-1) couldn't get anything going against No. 19 Wisconsin on Friday, going 21-for-62 from the field (33.9 percent) and just 2-for-17 from 3-point range (11.8 percent) en route to an 86-70 loss. Jordan Ivy-Curry finished with 13 points while Keyshawn Hall and Dior Johnson added 11 apiece for UCF, which never led and fell behind by as many as 23. Knights coach Johnny Dawkins is hoping that his team's struggles don't carry over into the meeting with the Tigers (4-1). "We have to do better offensively," Dawkins said. "We have to space the floor better. We have to balance our offense between our perimeter and our bigs. Those are things that we didn't do consistently (on Friday)." LSU also needs to clean things up after committing 15 turnovers in a 74-63 setback against Pitt on Friday. Tigers forward Jalen Reed doesn't believe giving the ball away will be a lingering issue. "I feel like a lot of our turnovers were more on us than them," Reed said. "I feel like a lot of the turnovers were careless, but we're a better team than that and I feel like we'll take care of the ball better moving forward." Reed and Vyctorius Miller each posted 14 points in the loss to the Panthers, with Reed also hauling in seven rebounds. Cam Carter chipped in 11 points. Carter is putting up a team-leading 16.4 points per game. Jordan Sears (12.0 points per game), Reed (11.0) and Miller (10.2) also have scoring averages in double figures. Ivy-Curry (16.8 points per game), Hall (16.2) and Darius Johnson (13.0) have been leading the way for UCF. Sunday marks the first-ever meeting between the Knights and Tigers. --Field Level MediaJuve deepen Man City crisis, Barcelona into Champions League knockoutsIt’s been about 37 years since the Wicked cast began their press tour in support of the new movie adaptation of the Broadway musical. (Which is itself an adaptation of a novel. Which is inspired by a movie. That was based on a book.) But now that it’s finally in theaters, we can all talk about it instead of just speculate about it. The biggest takeaway: It’s so good! Thank goodness! Congratulotions to all involved. I published my proper review earlier this week, which, to stay on theme with the interminable running time of the movie (2 hours and 40 minutes—one of the few legitimate things to complain about) and its endless marketing campaign, is way way too long. But hey, I’m a theater gay and this is the Wicked movie—of course I was going to ramble on overenthusiastically, whether or not people are still paying attention. In any case, read it here . (Give me those precious clicks!) What I wanted to do here instead is offer the CliffsNotes version of the things that, if you happen to be curious about the film, you should know. In other words, what people have been asking me about in the week since I made getting to see the Wicked movie early my entire personality. Yes, Ariana Grande really is perfect as Galinda. (The Galinda/Glinda name is a whole thing. Go ask the closest gay about it.) Because Kristin Chenoweth put such an indelible signature on the character as the original Galinda, it can be easy to simply replicate her flirts, flounces, and flourishes and still get a rousing response. Grande really shows her musical theater bonafides in the way she pays homage to the Galindas before, but very much makes the part her own with a screwball tenacity that adds a bit more sophisticated humor and grit to the part. The film forcefully ends any discussion over whether this needed to be two parts—each act of the musical is a standalone movie—with its “Defying Gravity” finale. Director Jon M. Chu reimagines the roof-shattering number as a nearly 15-minute action sequence. Elphaba and Glinda (no longer with the “Ga”) are chased through the Wizard’s Emerald City castle, attacked by flying monkeys, attempt a hot air balloon heist, and climb up the scaffolding of a belltower, all while singing verses of the song. The battle-cry belt that is the song’s climax is actually interrupted by thrilling sequences of Elphaba zooming through the sky on her broom. There’s a scene of Grande as Glinda staring at Erivo singing as she evades flying monkeys that was so powerful, I got chills. Obviously the movie was going to end after that. You can’t just casually move on to the next scene. Beyond the dazzling visuals, set design, and effects, there were two scenes that really drove home for me how a cinematic adaptation of the musical enriches it. The first was “What Is This Feeling?” which begins with a split-screen of Galinda and Elphaba as they duet, a film trick that amplifies the humor of the song. The second is the Ozdust Ballroom interlude of “Dancing Through Life,” when Elphaba nervously, yet excitedly arrives, thinking she’s going to finally be accepted, only to realize that she was set up to be bullied. Chu takes his time in this scene, with each aching second that passes jackhammering at your heart even more forcefully. Erivo’s more tender, wounded approach to Elphaba really justifies itself in this sequence, matched by a guilt-ridden, heartbroken Grande. All of the viral videos of the actresses breaking down in tears during interviews starts to make sense after you’ve seen how intense their emotional connection is during these scenes. Fellow Ozians, I cried pretty much throughout this entire section of the movie, and I am not ashamed to admit it. And while Grande and Erivo are truly fantastic, I think the biggest buzz from moviegoers after they see this is going to be something along the lines of, “Holy hell, Jonathan Bailey!!!” Forgot whatever twister it was that brought Dorothy Gale and her witch-crushing house to Munchkinland. That’s a drizzly rain cloud compared to the seismic weather event of sexual magnetism and relentless charisma that is Bailey’s performance as Fiyero in this film. It’s not just my embarrassing middle-school-girl-like crush on him that is saying this. It is the kind of, “Oh wow, that is a movie star ” kind of revelation is so exciting and rare. His Fiyero is a self-aware pansexual cad who has giddy chemistry with every living thing he encounters, and whose charm streak is matched by an emotional intelligence we typically don’t afford daffy Prince Charming types. And you can see that he is having an absolute blast through every acrobatic dance step of “Dancing Through Life.” Fans of the stage production will be glad to know that the movie has, to the best of its ability, “fixed” the worst part of the show: Dr. Dillamond, the professor who is also a goat who is being silenced by the government. “Something Bad” is reimagined as a puppet show that turns out to be really eerie and unsettling, making it more vital to the plotline in which Elphaba becomes radicalized. (I am bracing myself for the inevitable thinkpieces about “How the Wicked Movie Is a Timely Rallying Cry Against Fascism.”) Yet there is one thing the movie doesn’t manage to improve. If you’re going to take a bathroom break, I heartily recommend doing it when the Wizard shows up and starts singing “A Sentimental Man.” Apologies to J eff Goldblum , but it’s simply a snooze, arriving unfortunately at the exact time you’re going to pull out your phone and be like “OK, this movie is taking forever already...how much time is left?” I could go on and on. (Who has 45 minutes to talk with me about the staging of “I’m Not That Girl”?) But I think these are the major talking points. If you care to find me to talk more in depth, look to the Western sky find me on social media and let’s dish.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — De’Vondre Campbell’s decision to quit on his team in the middle of a game overshadowed the bigger issues for the San Francisco 49ers. An offense that was one of the most dynamic in the NFL during a run to the Super Bowl last season has been just ordinary for most of 2024 and was downright bad in on Thursday night that just about ended San Francisco’s playoff hopes. San Francisco (6-8) was held to its fewest yards (191) in a regular-season game in eight seasons under coach Kyle Shanahan and its fewest points since Shanahan’s debut in 2017 on a rainy night that will be remembered mostly for Campbell walking off the field in the middle of the game with a towel draped over his head. The game also featured San Francisco going three-and-out on four drives as Brock Purdy struggled to connect with his receivers. a potential touchdown pass after about a lack of touches. Purdy then missed Ricky Pearsall on an underthrown deep shot in the fourth quarter before throwing an interception into the end zone that ended the Niners’ comeback attempt. “I just feel like I had a lot of plays left out there that I could have made for our team,” Purdy said. “I thought the defense and special teams played so good. That’s what’s hurting me is I just feel like I failed the team. I could have been better for our offense and we could have put up more points.” Scoring has been an issue this season for the 49ers, who have been missing key playmakers like Christian McCaffrey and Brandon Aiyuk for much of the season. San Francisco is scoring 8.5 fewer points per game on offense than the Niners did through 14 games last season. What’s working Red-zone defense. After allowing touchdowns on 13 consecutive red-zone drives over the previous four games, the 49ers kept the Rams out of the end zone on all three drives that went inside the 20. What needs help Receivers. The 49ers failed to get much production from their wide receivers with Purdy going 6 for 20 for 63 yards with an INT and a 19.4 rating when targeting wideouts. Samuel had 16 yards on seven targets with the key drop. Jauan Jennings had two drops and was the target on the interception. Pearsall had one catch for 16 yards on four targets. Stock up LB Dre Greenlaw returned for the first time since tearing his left Achilles tendon in last season’s Super Bowl. Greenlaw had eight tackles in the first half as he brought needed intensity and physical play that had been missing for much of the season. Stock down Campbell. The 49ers are deciding whether to waive or suspend Campbell, who lost his starting job when Greenlaw returned and then refused to play when he was needed. “His actions from the game just is not something you can do to your team or your teammates and still expect to be a part of our team,” Shanahan said. “We’re working through exactly the semantics of it right now, but we’ll handle the situation appropriately.” Injuries Greenlaw came out of the game feeling OK after leaving with soreness in his knee and Achilles tendon. He is day to day. ... S Ji’Ayir Brown (groin) and LB Dee Winters (neck) are also day to day. ... LT Trent Williams (ankle) is still trying to get back to play after missing the last four games. Shanahan said Williams’ recovery has been “a lot slower than anticipated.” Key number 0 — The Niners didn’t reach the red zone once all game, with their deepest penetration into Rams territory being when they reached the 27 on a third-quarter field goal drive. This marked the first time since Week 11 in 2010 that the 49ers didn’t run a single play inside the opponent’s 25.

All the hard work the Vikings put in on Sunday afternoon at Soldier Field almost fell by the wayside after they failed to recover an onside kick in the final minute. That paved the way for Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos to send the game into overtime with a 48-yard field goal as time expired. ADVERTISEMENT As proud as head coach Kevin O’Connell was that the Vikings still managed to escape with a 30-27 overtime win, he also was irked that lack of execution on the onside kick nearly cost them. What went wrong? Though it looked like nothing more than a fluky bounce, it was actually a misread by tight end Johnny Mundt that resulted in the ball hitting him. Asked about the particular play, special teams coordinator Matt Daniels said as soon as Mundt realized it was going to be a watermelon kick, he should’ve attacked the ball rather than engaged in a block. “He’s got to have some awareness right there,” Daniels said. “He didn’t see where the ball was at.” The use of the watermelon kick has become much more common across the NFL over the past few seasons. It’s executed by placing the ball on its side and kicking the point to create a spinning motion. The hope is to create enough spin with the watermelon kick that the ball travels the required 10 yards. The only issue? The rules say the kicking team can’t touch any member of the receiving team on an onside kick until the ball crosses 10 yards. ADVERTISEMENT That’s why Daniels has stressed to his players the importance of attacking the ball in those situations. “That’s the No. 1 thing,” Daniels said. “As soon as we see it’s a watermelon kick, we are going to go get the ball.” After suffering a hamstring injury over the weekend, linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. has been placed on injured reserve. As a result, he will have to miss at least the next month, with the Vikings hoping he can be ready to return by the time the playoffs roll around. It’s a tough blow for the Vikings heading into the home stretch as Pace has developed into a key contributor on defense. As a way to add some depth amid the loss, the Vikings signed linebacker Jamin Davis to their active roster, poaching him from the Green Bay Packers, who had signed him to their practice squad. There might be some untapped potential in Davis considering the Washington Commanders selected him in the first round of the 2021 draft. He has totaled 282 tackles, seven sacks, an interception and a pair of forced fumbles across 50 NFL games. Additionally, the Vikings also activated edge rusher Gabe Murphy from injured reserve. ADVERTISEMENT The benefit of having veteran left tackle David Quessenberry on the roster is that he has proven capable of going into a game on short notice. After stepping up last month when star left tackle Christian Darrisaw went down with a knee injury, Quessenberry had his number called over the weekend when veteran left tackle Cam Robinson left the game with a foot injury. Though there were some ups and downs for Quessenberry in the game, his presence allowed the Vikings to continue to run their offense. “I thought he came in and played really well,” offensive coordinator Wes Phillips said. “The left side really wasn’t an issue with him in there. We weren’t thinking like, ‘Oh god. We’ve got to get chips over there. We’ve got to try to formation these things where we can help him out every play.’ We felt pretty comfortable with him felling in and playing that role.” After being cut by the Vikings over the weekend, cornerback Akayleb Evans was claimed off waivers by the Carolina Panthers. It will be a fresh start for Evans as he looks to get his career back on track. Though he started 15 games for the Vikings last season, Evans barely played at all on defense this season. He was buried on the depth chart behind veteran cornerbacks Stephon Gilmore, Byron Murphy Jr., and Shaq Griffin. Why didn’t it work out for Evans? ADVERTISEMENT “Sometimes it becomes a numbers situation,” defensive coordinator Brian Flores said. “He’s a talented player who has a place in this league. I wish him all the best in Carolina. He’s going to do a great job for them.” ______________________________________________________ This story was written by one of our partner news agencies.
