Broncos head into bye on three-game winning streak and chasing first playoff spot since 2015 seasonManchester City snapped a seven-game winless streak as Kevin De Bruyne played a starring role in a 3-0 Premier League win over Nottingham Forest on Wednesday. The Belgian created Bernardo Silva’s opening goal and then scored the second before Jeremy Doku rounded off a much-needed victory for the English champions. City’s barren run included six defeats to leave them 11 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool before kick-off. However, De Bruyne’s return to the starting line-up for the first time in nearly three months helped resume normal service at the Etihad Stadium. City move back into the top four and within nine points of Liverpool after their 3-3 draw at Newcastle. Pep Guardiola had to shoot down suggestions of a rift with De Bruyne on the eve of the game after bedding him back into action slowly with a series of substitute appearances. The 33-year-old showed what City have been missing as he rolled back the years and could well have had more than just one goal. Guardiola reacted to Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Liverpool by making four changes as Josko Gvardiol, Doku and Jack Grealish also came into the team. It took just eight minutes for City to make the breakthrough. Ilkay Gundogan’s cross was headed back towards goal by De Bruyne and Silva was in the right place to tap home from centimetres out. Guardiola claimed pre-match that Ederson remains his number one goalkeeper but the Brazilian was again benched in favour of Stefan Ortega.

Chris Wood’s fine goalscoring form has been the catalyst to a fabulous season so far for Nuno Espirito Santo’s men. But the New Zealander was wayward as he fired wide with just Ortega to beat. De Bruyne settled City nerves on 31 minutes when he collected Doku’s pass inside the area and coolly slotted into the top corner. Erling Haaland has now failed to find the net in his last three Premier League games. But the Norwegian did play a part in the third goal with the assist for Doku, who cut inside and fired into the far corner. De Bruyne saw a free-kick curl just wide and was then denied a second by his international team-mate Matz Sels. He was given a standing ovation when he departed 15 minutes from time. City spectacularly collapsed from 3-0 up to draw 3-3 against Feyenoord in the Champions League eight days ago. However, there was never any sense of a repeat as they controlled the closing stages to add a clean sheet to an all-round restorative night for Guardiola’s men. Defeat leaves Forest still in sixth but now four points off the top four.
Sheldon “Timothy” Herrington Jr., 24, of Grenada, Mississippi, is charged with capital murder in the death of Lee, who vanished July 8, 2022. Lee, 20, of Jackson, Mississippi, was a gay man well known in the LGBTQ+ community at Ole Miss and in Oxford, where the university is located and Herrington's trial is being held. Lee's body has never been found, but a judge has declared him dead. Herrington maintains his own innocence. Herrington “was not openly in the LGBTQ community,” but evidence will show he had a relationship with Lee and is responsible for the death, assistant district attorney Gwen Agho said during opening arguments Tuesday in Oxford. Herrington’s attorney, Kevin Horan, told jurors that prosecutors have “zero” proof Lee was killed. University Police Department Sgt. Benjamin Douglas testified Thursday that investigators used search warrants to obtain cellphone records, information from social media accounts belonging to Lee and Herrington and information about Herrington's internet searches on the day Lee disappeared until Herrington was arrested two weeks later. One of Lee's friends, Khalid Fears, testified Tuesday that he had a video call with Lee just before 6 a.m. on July 8, 2022. Fears said Lee mentioned a sexual encounter with a man hours earlier, which ended badly. Lee was leaving his own on-campus apartment to go see the same man again, Fears said. Douglas testified Herrington's Snapchat account sent a message to Lee's account at about 5:25 a.m. saying: “Come back.” People using the two accounts then argued, and Lee's account sent a message at 5:54 a.m. saying he was on the way over. Douglas said that at 6:03 a.m., Lee's account sent its final message: “Open.” Google records obtained through a warrant showed that Herrington searched “how long does it take to strangle someone” at 5:56 a.m., Douglas said. An officer from another police agency, the Oxford Police Department, testified that starting on 7:18 a.m. the morning of Lee's disappearance, a car matching the description of Lee’s black sedan was captured on multiple security cameras driving through Oxford. A camera showed the car entering a parking lot at the Molly Barr Trails apartment complex at 7:25 a.m., Lt. Mark Hodges testified. The same camera showed a man jogging out of the parking lot moments later, turning onto Molly Barr Road. A witness, Kizziah Carter, testified Wednesday that he was driving home from work about 7:30 that morning and saw Herrington jogging along Molly Barr Road. Carter said he knew Herrington and honked to greet him, and Herrington flagged him down to ask for a ride. Carter said he drove Herrington to Herrington’s apartment in another complex. Lee's car was towed from Molly Barr Trails later that day. Both Herrington and Lee had graduated from the University of Mississippi. Lee was pursuing a master’s degree. He was known for his creative expression through fashion and makeup and often performed in drag shows in Oxford, according to a support group called Justice for Jay Lee. Prosecutors have announced they do not intend to pursue the death penalty, meaning Herrington could get a life sentence if convicted. Mississippi law defines capital murder as a killing committed along with another felony — in this case, kidnapping.Tech Bytes: Is China’s critical mineral export ban the beginning of a new trade war?HEIMIR HALLGRÍMSSON has said Ireland deserve every criticism that comes their way after their Wembley wobble. But he is optimistic about his side’s future chances after the Nations League draw and learning of likely opponents in the World Cup qualifiers . The Ireland boss has been licking his wounds since Ireland lost 5-0 to England , with all goals coming after Liam Scales was sent off early in the second half . Yesterday, he learned Ireland will face Bulgaria in the relegation-promotion play-off with their opponents immediately confirming that the first leg on Thursday March 20 would take place in Plovdiv. The return match will be in the Aviva Stadium 72 hours later. In next month’s World Cup draw, they will definitely be in a four-team group and can face any of the top and fourth seeds but only Ukraine , Turkey , Hungary , Serbia , Greece and Slovakia from the second seeds. They are welcome distractions but it is going to take him some time to get over his side’s capitulation in London . Hallgrímsson said: “It’s tough. All coaches would say the same, losing with this number has been tough. “And criticism, you cannot answer that in any way. You need to take it in. “Because when you lose five- zero you’ve definitely done something wrong. “We’re not hiding. The goals we conceded were very soft and strange but I think again it was down to the mentality and psychology , we lost our heads. “We lost a player, and we conceded a goal, a kind of mental breakdown, moments of madness, conceded three goals in six minutes and it’s game over. “It’s tough to come from back that. It happened very quickly.” The Icelander had previously spoken about bringing in a sports psychologist to address what he felt was a lack of confidence among the players after some tough years. And he confirmed that would be on the agenda for 2025. He said: “We had a good talk prior to the England camp, just who has access to things like these, in this area. “I myself have used help in this area and it’s really just one piece of the puzzle, that you can add to what we are doing, a professional in this area, not even a professional, just someone you can share things and stuff with. “Psychology is just a bigger and bigger part of elite sports. In elite sport, it’s a bigger and bigger part of coaching.” There was one bright spark for him as he repeated his praise for Andy Moran for his performance off the bench. He is hoping others can come to the fore between now and March. He said: “It was positive the introduction of Andy Moran. He showed leadership skills, he was not afraid to take the ball in probably the worst moment for a sub, to come in in a game you know is kind of lost. “But he showed good characteristics once he came in so that’s a good thing. “We have names in our head that we are monitoring. We didn’t want to touch much of the under-21s because they were so close to qualifying so there might be younger guys. “It’s a long time, you can have a guy shining in the next two or three month. We will be looking at the options we have, not only these play-off games but for the future as well.” He will also hope to have fewer players ruled out than the 10 missing for this month’s window although Chiedozie Ogbene will definitely be out after Achilles surgery . He said: “I think it is something everyone is experiencing at this stage, there are a lot of drop outs, a lot of injuries and serious injuries. "Looking back, we did not have many injuries with Iceland . They always showed up for the national team. Even if they were injured, they showed up." He also anticipates a more settled side, having given 23 different players starts with a total of 31 featuring across just six Nations League games. He said: “I've said it again and again, we need to have connections to know the player next to you will cover, because he has the same thoughts as you do. We need to establish that for sure." And he will start off more sure-footed than he did in September when he seemed ill-prepared for someone whom the FAI claimed had been identified as their first choice as manager back in March. Hallgrímsson – appointed in July, 10 days after stepping down as Jamaica boss following their elimination from the Copa America – said: “Of course I have learned more about my players. “The transition from CONCACAF and then CONMEBOL, coming from the finals, jumping straight into this and being confronted with 40 or 50 journalists that was kind of the most challenging aspect of the job. “I thought it was a good decision to have John O’Shea fronting the team, because you need to answer questions and probably I didn’t have the answers. “When there would be a question about a player and I didn’t know, it would look silly not to be able to answer. “All of a sudden you are representing a country, you are kind of a spokesman for a country, and you like to do that while you need to be careful what you say and what you do. I have been guided well. “I have given praise to the set-up and the people working at the Federation. I am really happy and hopefully we can work on that and build something good and great together.” They will go on a site visit to Bulgaria next week and, despite the extra travel involved, he is happy for the game not to be in the capital, where Ireland’s five previous games in the country were staged. He said: “We just met them after the draw and it's confirmed that it's Plovdiv, they were re-laying the grass, that's why they played the last game in Sofia. “It's a better stadium, a newer stadium so they want to play there.” Bulgaria were beaten 5-0 in Belfast but were runners-up to Northern Ireland – whom they beat at home - and conceded just one goal in their five other matches. He said: “I think Bulgaria is an OK draw. It's not my favourite, it's not the worst. “Slovakia was the highest FIFA-ranked team and everyone would like to avoid them. You would expect a low-scoring game when you look at the goals and statistics. “To break them down is going to be tricky.” And their qualifying group may not be as daunting as first feared with the draw taking place on December 13. He said: "The teams that we can face especially from Pot Two are not teams that are much better than us, even though they are higher ranked. It gives me hope than we can do things. No matter who we face we will be ready when it comes to the World Cup, “The good thing is that we are in a four-team group. We can use June for final preparation.”

White House says at least 8 US telecom firms, dozens of nations impacted by China hacking campaignNoneAfter a week of rumours and misinformation, Kelowna RCMP have set the record straight about a video that's recently gone viral. A video has been circulating various social media sites showing a woman yelling in a local convenience store and along with her dog, who aggressively barked at the store attendants. Someone in the store who was "trying to buy a sandwich" filmed the whole incident. According to RCMP, the incident took place over a year ago, on Sept. 19, 2023 at the Canco gas station in the 1100-block of Ethel Street. "Officers attended where it was determined an unknown female attacked two store employees and attempted to coerce her dog into biting them," said Kelowna RCMP in a press release. The incident was captured on cell phone video which was provided to police at the time. The next day, the woman was found and arrested for assault. She was released with an undertaking scheduled for court at a later date. Just over a month later, RCMP concluded their investigation at the request of the victims affected because the woman had never returned to the store and one of the victims no longer lives in the province. “For reasons unknown, this video only recently surfaced on social media over a year after the incident was reported and investigated by police,” RCMP media relations officer Cpl. Michael Gauthier. “In this particular case, when the victims of the offence(s) are no longer interested in pursuing charges, we are obligated to cancel the Undertaking and conclude the matter as is.” The video can be found here.

Security cameras captured video of a University of Mississippi student leaving his campus apartment twice on the morning he was last seen alive, University Police Department Capt. Jane Mahan testified Wednesday in the trial of the man accused of killing the student. Jimmy “Jay” Lee, 20, was a gay man well known in the LGBTQ+ community at Ole Miss and in Oxford, where the university is located. He was last seen on July 8, 2022. Sheldon “Timothy” Herrington Jr., 24, of Grenada, Mississippi, is charged with capital murder in Lee's death, and his trial began Tuesday in Oxford. Herrington has maintained his innocence. Police said cellphone history showed conversations between Herrington and Lee on the morning Lee disappeared. Jurors on Wednesday were shown video clips of Lee leaving his own apartment shortly after 4 a.m., wearing a robe and slippers. The clips showed him returning about 40 minutes later and leaving again just before 6 a.m. When he left the last time, he was looking at his cellphone. A friend of Lee, Khalid Fears, testified Tuesday that he had a video chat with Lee while Lee left the apartment around 6 a.m. that day. Lee said he was going back to see a man he had seen hours earlier, Fears testified. Mahan testified Wednesday about the timeline of the video clips showing Lee at the campus apartment. She said campus police started searching for Lee after his mother, Stephanie Lee, called later that day to request a welfare check on her son after he didn't respond to multiple messages. Jay Lee's apartment had an electronic key card, and Mahan testified that police contacted the campus housing department to put an alert on his card, which would automatically send police an email if the card were used. An assistant district attorney, Gwen Agho, asked Mahan if Lee ever returned to his apartment after he was recorded leaving that morning. “Not that I've ever been notified of, no,” Mahan said. Lee and Herrington saw each other twice during the hours before Lee disappeared, Agho said during opening arguments Tuesday. She said the men had sexual contact during their first meeting, and Lee was upset when he left Herrington’s apartment. Herrington invited Lee back — and before Lee arrived, Herrington searched online for how long it takes to strangle someone, Agho said. Herrington “was not openly in the LGBTQ community,” she said. A witness, Kizziah Carter, testified Wednesday that he was driving home from work at about 7:30 that morning and saw Herrington jogging along a road in Oxford. Carter said he knew Herrington and honked to greet him, and Carter flagged him down to ask for a ride. The road was near an apartment complex where Lee's car was found later in the day. Carter said he drove Herrington to Herrington's apartment in another complex. Surveillance video also recorded Herrington running from where Lee’s car was found, and he was later seen picking up a shovel and wheelbarrow at his parents’ house, authorities said. Lee’s body has not been found. In October, a judge declared him dead at the request of Lee’s parents. Lee’s active presence on social media fell silent after July 8, 2022, and no transactions have appeared on his credit card since then, prosecutors said. Herrington was arrested two weeks after Lee vanished, then released five months later on a $250,000 bond. A grand jury indicted him in March 2023. Herrington’s attorney, Kevin Horan, told jurors Tuesday that prosecutors have “zero” proof that Lee was killed or that any crime happened. Both Herrington and Lee had graduated from the University of Mississippi. Lee was pursuing a master’s degree. He was known for his creative expression through fashion and makeup and often performed in drag shows in Oxford, according to a support group called Justice for Jay Lee. Prosecutors have announced they do not intend to pursue the death penalty, meaning Herrington could get a life sentence if convicted.

Pure Storage stock surges on hyperscaler win and earnings beatScott Turner, President-elect Donald Trump choice to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development , is a former NFL player who ran the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council during Trump’s first term. Turner, 52, is the first Black person selected to be a member of the Republican's Cabinet. Here are some things to know about Turner: From professional football to politics Turner grew up in a Dallas suburb, Richardson, and graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He was a defensive back and spent nine seasons in the NFL beginning in 1995, playing for the Washington Redskins, San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos. During offseasons, he worked as an intern then-Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif. After Turner retired in 2004, he worked full time for the congressman. In 2006, Turner ran unsuccessfully as a Republican in California’s 50th Congressional District. Turner joined the Texas House in 2013 as part of a large crop of tea party-supported lawmakers. He tried unsuccessfully to become speaker before he finished his second term in 2016. He did not seek a third term. Motivational speaker and pastor Turner also worked for a software company in a position called “chief inspiration officer” and said he acted as a professional mentor, pastor, and councilor for the employees and executive team. He has also been a motivational speaker. He and his wife, Robin Turner, founded a nonprofit promoting initiatives to improve childhood literacy. His church, Prestonwood Baptist Church, lists him as an associate pastor. He is also chair of the center for education opportunity at America First Policy Institute, a think tank set up by former Trump administration staffers to lay the groundwork if he won a second term. Headed council in Trump's first term Trump introduced Turner in April 2019 as the head of the new White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council. Trump credited Turner with “helping to lead an Unprecedented Effort that Transformed our Country’s most distressed communities.” The mission of the council was to coordinate with various federal agencies to attract investment to so-called “Opportunity Zones," which were economically depressed areas eligible to be used for the federal tax incentives. The role of HUD HUD is responsible for addressing the nation’s housing needs. It also is charged with fair housing laws and oversees housing for the poorest Americans, sheltering more than 4.3 million low-income families through public housing, rental subsidy and voucher programs. The agency, with a budget of tens of billions of dollars, runs a multitude of programs that do everything from reducing homelessness to promoting homeownership. It also funds the construction of affordable housing and provides vouchers that allow low income families pay for housing in the private market. During the campaign, Trump focused mostly on the prices of housing, not public housing. He railed against the high cost of housing and said he could make it more affordable by cracking down on illegal immigration and reducing inflation. He also said he would work to reduce regulations on home construction and make some federal land available for residential construction. ___
