Man City crisis continues as Feyenoord come from three down to drawProsecutors have suggested to a New York judge the possibility of sparing Donald Trump any prison time for his conviction on charges involving hush money paid to a porn star in light of his US presidential election victory, but opposed dismissing the case. In a court filing made public on Tuesday, prosecutors with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office urged Justice Juan Merchan to deny the Republican businessman-turned-politicians' request to throw out the case so it does not hang over him and impede his ability to govern once he takes office on January 20. Noting that many of Trump's concerns involve the possibility that he could be incarcerated, prosecutors noted that there is no requirement that Merchan sentence him to prison - and said the judge could conclude that presidential immunity from prosecution would require a non-incarceration sentence. "Such a constitutional limitation on the range of available sentences would further diminish any impact on defendant's presidential decision-making without going so far as to discard the indictment and jury verdict altogether," prosecutors wrote. Merchan has not said when he will rule on Trump's bid for dismissal. Trump has called the case an attempt by Bragg, a Democrat, to harm his 2024 campaign. In a statement on Tuesday, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung said, "Today's filing by the Manhattan DA is a pathetic attempt to salvage the remains of an unconstitutional and politically motivated hoax." The case stemmed from a $US130,000 ($A204,000) payment that Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels for her silence before the 2016 election about a sexual encounter she has said she had a decade earlier with Trump, who denies it. A Manhattan jury in May found Trump, 78, guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up his reimbursement of Cohen. It was the first time a US president - former or sitting - had been convicted of or charged with a criminal offence. Falsifying business records is punishable by up to four years in prison, but incarceration is not required. Before his Nov. 5 election victory, legal experts told Reuters it was unlikely that Trump would be sentenced to prison due to his lack of a criminal history and advanced age, but that incarceration was not impossible. The US Supreme Court in July ruled in a separate criminal case involving Trump that presidents have broad immunity from criminal prosecution for official actions taken in office, and that evidence of official acts could not be used in prosecuting a president over personal acts. Trump's lawyers have argued that meant the case should be dismissed because prosecutors used statements that Trump made while president and testimony from his White House aides. The filing by Bragg's office on Tuesday said the hush money case involved "purely unofficial conduct."
Charlotte Crosby trebles security measures to ‘feel safe’ amid attempted robberyEAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Vikings linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. has been placed on injured reserve after hurting his hamstring Sunday in a 30-27 overtime victory over the Chicago Bears. The move announced Tuesday means that Pace must miss at least the Vikings next four games. The Vikings also activated outside linebacker Gabriel Murphy from injured reserve and signed linebacker Jamin Davis off the Green Bay Packers practice squad. Pace, 23, had started each of the Vikings nine games this season. The 2023 undrafted free agent from Cincinnati had 56 tackles — including six for loss — and three sacks. Murphy, 24, signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent this spring. He was placed on injured reserve Aug. 27. Davis had joined the Packers practice squad Oct. 29 after getting released by the Washington Commanders a week earlier. Washington selected him out of Kentucky with the 19th overall pick in the 2021 draft. The 25-year-old Davis has 282 tackles, seven sacks, one interception, two forced fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles in his NFL career. He led the Commanders with a career-high 104 tackles in 2022. The Vikings (9-2) host the Arizona Cardinals (6-5) on Sunday. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL
The NFL's security division is warning players to be aware of professional burglars targeting the homes of pro athletes. The Athletic reported Thursday that the NFL sent a memo to teams that outlines the threat. "The homes of professional athletes across multiple sports leagues have become increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups," read the memo, which was obtained by The Athletic. "Law enforcement officials have noted these groups appear to exploit team schedules to target athletes' homes on game days." NBC News reported Wednesday that law enforcement is working to figure out whether an international crime syndicate is involved. The Athletic reported that the memo includes tips for home security and also gives recommendations about the use of social media, such as not posting photos of items that would attract thieves. Players also learned via the memo how homes are targeted and how burglars enter. Mahomes hasn't said much about the burglary, other than to call it "disappointing" and "frustrating." "I can't get into too many of the details because the investigation is still ongoing," he said. "But obviously something that you don't want to happen to really anybody, but obviously yourself." It's not clear what was stolen from Mahomes' home in Belton, Mo., during the Oct. 6 incident. But Kelce apparently lost $20,000 in cash in the burglary at his home in Leawood, Kan., the following day when the Chiefs played the New Orleans Saints on "Monday Night Football," according to a police report. The burglary at the home of Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis in River Hills, Wis., occurred Nov. 2 during the Bucks' home game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, He said the perpetrators "took most of my prized possessions" and is offering a reward for the return of his property. "Any info that leads to the return of any of my belongings will be rewarded handsomely," Portis said. "Let me know, thank you." --Field Level MediaNone
Royally rough. Prince William is still extremely angry over the ongoing rift between the royal family and his younger brother Prince Harry, according to a royal commentator. The Prince of Wales, 42, reportedly still feels “betrayed” over his brother’s eyebrow-raising actions since quitting royal life in 2020. However, it appears as though his wife, Kate Middleton, has a differing opinion. “I think the Prince of Wales remains very, very angry and upset and feels very betrayed,” Vanity Fair’s royal correspondent Katie Nicholl told the Sun . Despite the future king’s resolute stance , the Princess of Wales, 42, is more inclined toward a reconciliation between both camps, Nicholl adds. “Possibly the Princess of Wales is still open to a reconciliation in some form,” she said. “I still feel it’s quite early.” “But I do think when you go through something like a cancer diagnosis and you go through the sort of journey that she has done, and you confront your own mortality, you realize life is short,” she said, adding that life is “far too short for rifts and family feuds.” Elsewhere, Nicholl highlighted the importance of overcoming the royal rift in the public eye, saying it was crucial for the royals to go about things the correct way to maintain a good public image. “And perhaps that will be a role that [Middleton] will play at some point in healing that rift, because I think we look to the royal family as a symbol of unity,” she said of the princess. Looking ahead to the festive season, Nicholl notes that the Windsor clan will focus on healing when they get together at Sandringham later this month. “We will want to see them together at Christmas, this will be the sixth Christmas that Harry won’t have been a part of,” she told the outlet. “I do think it’s important. It may be that people are making these comments on social media where you’re talking about togetherness, talking about empathy, what’s going on in your own family, and they are at risk of that happening.” “I was talking to sources close to the princess and to William, who said, ‘Never give up hope, there’s always a chance,’ but of course it’s always in the timing,” Nicholl added. The Post has reached out to Kensington Palace for comment. The Prince and Princess of Wales are gearing up to journey to Sandringham in Norfolk to spend Christmas with the rest of the royals. There, they will gather with King Charles, Queen Camilla and the rest of the senior royals to celebrate the holiday. However, the Sussexes, as well as their two children Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, will be absent from this year’s royal festivities. Instead, the couple will spend the holiday at their Montecito, Calif., with their kids and Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland.Man City blows 3-goal lead and gets booed by fans in draw with Feyenoord in Champions League
Victor Wembanyama went to a park in New York City and played 1-on-1 with fans on Saturday. He even lost a couple of games. Not in basketball, though. Wemby was playing chess. And this wasn't on a whim: He knows how to play and even brought his own chess set. Before the San Antonio Spurs left New York for a flight to Minnesota, Wembanyama put out the call on social media: “Who wants to meet me at the SW corner of Washington Square park to play chess? Im there,” Wembanyama wrote. It was 9:36 a.m. People began showing up almost immediately. Washington Square Park is a known spot for chess in New York — Bobby Fischer among others have famously played there, and it's been used for multiple movie scenes featuring the game. Wembanyama was there for an hour in the rain, from about 10-11 a.m. He played four games, winning two and losing two — he told Bleacher Report afterward that both of the losses were to professional chess players — before departing to catch the Spurs' flight. Wembanyama had been trying to get somewhere to play chess for the bulk of the team's time in New York — the Spurs played the Knicks on Christmas and won at Brooklyn on Friday night. The schedule never aligned, until Saturday morning. And even with bad weather, he bundled up to make it happen. He posed for photos with a couple of dozen people who showed up, braving a morning of cold rain to play chess with one of the NBA's biggest stars. “We need an NBA players only Chess tournament, proceeds go to the charity of choice of the winner,” he wrote on social media after his chess trip was over. Wembanyama is averaging 25.2 points and 10.1 rebounds this season, his second in the NBA after winning rookie of the year last season. The Spurs play at Minnesota on Sunday.Apple launches its big AI push but is it too late?

Boston College’s offense had its moments on Saturday, converting 6 of 13 third downs and amassing 296 passing yards. BC caught Nebraska’s aggressive, blitzing defense with a few screens, coach Matt Rhule said, and Eagles’ quarterback Grayson James kept plays alive with timely scrambles. But Rhule said the Huskers' defense found its footing in the red zone — inside NU’s own 20 — by twice denying the Eagles points when they reached the Nebraska 9 and Nebraska 2. The Huskers, coordinated by John Butler, were trying to make BC attempt field goals. Boston College only attempted four all season, and missed its fifth try early in Saturday’s game. From thereon, BC went for its fourth downs in NU territory. It did not successfully convert one. “They missed the first one, so we felt pretty good about our opportunity — hey, they’re not going to kick one, it’ll be four downs,” Rhule said. “We knew how to address it.” Eight of BC’s drives reached Nebraska territory, producing just 13 of BC’s 15 points. “We were having trouble kicking the ball, so I didn't want to kick it,” Boston College coach Bill O’Brien said. “We were in that area where you're either going to plus-50 and punt it — which we could have done, but we're not great at that — or tried to kick a 50-yard field goal, which we're definitely not ready to do that. “I went for it on 4th down and probably put the defense in a couple tough positions. Look, Nebraska did a good job. We had trouble running the ball, had trouble scoring in the red area. We moved the ball. I think at halftime we had the time of possession, we had yardage, but didn't have the score.” Get local news delivered to your inbox!
WINNIPEG — Kyle Walters doesn’t believe losing a third consecutive Grey Cup means the Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ roster should be blown up. The CFL club’s general manager told reporters at his year-end availability Tuesday that reaching a fifth straight championship game by overcoming lots of injuries was a big accomplishment. Even before Winnipeg’s recent 41-24 Grey Cup loss to the Toronto Argonauts, Walters said he was looking forward to next season. “I was excited for next year based on what I'm looking at, compared to years past, where we've got more young guys that have contributed that are under contract," he said. "We've got more young players in the building. So, the idea of, ‘This is the end of the road. The team is in a free-for-all downward,’ I don’t think is accurate. "We have a good group of guys and we were in a one-point (Grey Cup) game with 10 minutes left ... before things went downhill.” The Blue Bombers started the season 0-4, moved to 2-6 and finished 11-7 to claim the West Division title. Star receiver Dalton Schoen, veteran linebacker Adam Bighill and backup quarterback Chris Streveler all suffered season-ending injuries and are pending free agents. Negotiating with the team’s 27 unsigned players could be impacted by moves across the league among coaches, personnel staff and players such as quarterbacks, Walters said. The Bombers have given permission for offensive coordinator Buck Pierce to speak to the B.C. Lions and Edmonton Elks about those teams’ vacant head-coaching jobs, he said. Walters also revealed the Ottawa Redblacks were given the go-ahead to talk to Richie Hall about their defensive coordinator vacancy. Hall was a Winnipeg defensive assistant this season after Jordan Younger took over from him as defensive coordinator. Walters said the Bombers received permission to speak to Lions offensive coordinator Jordan Maksymic in case Pierce leaves. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have already been given the OK to talk to Winnipeg assistant general managers Danny McManus and Ted Goveia about the Ticats’ GM opening. “You're hesitant to have too much conversation with people who may not be in the organization next year, so it's just been me and (head coach) Mike (O’Shea) in this moment huddled together and talking about next year,” Walters said. He said an NFL team had asked Tuesday morning to work out one Blue Bomber, but he didn’t reveal the player’s name in case he wasn’t aware of the request yet. The Blue Bombers won the Grey Cup in 2019 and ’21, but lost 28-24 to the Montreal Alouettes last year and 24-23 to Toronto in 2022. Winnipeg re-signed placekicker Sergio Castillo last week. Walters said he’d like to have deals done with three or four main players before the end of the year. The team has some up-and-coming young players inked for next year, and injuries gave others valuable experience on both sides of the ball, Walters said. Receivers such as rookie Ontaria Wilson (1,026 yards receiving in 18 games) and Keric Wheatfall (273 yards in seven games) are signed through next season. “The experience that they got was invaluable,” Walters said. Re-signing players who missed time because of injuries can get tricky. “Organizationally, can we approach (their agents) and say, 'Well, your guy was hurt, he should come back for less money?’” Walters said. “Generally, they don't view it like that. They view that they'll be back 100 per cent.” One question mark is the backup to starting quarterback Zach Collaros, who suffered a deep cut to the index finger of his throwing hand late in the third quarter of the Grey Cup. Collaros got five stitches and numbing agent applied to his finger. He returned with a bandage on it, but admitted he had a hard time gripping the ball. “We'll have to find out who our offensive coordinator is first,” Walters said when asked who might be Collaros’s backup. Terry Wilson, who briefly replaced Collaros in the Grey Cup, and Jake Dolegala are signed for next year. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 26, 2024. Judy Owen, The Canadian PressA grand opening was hosted on November 22 for the new permanent location of the Martensville-Warman Early Years Family Resource Centre (MWEYFRC) – a safe, welcoming space offering free programming and supports to families with children under the age of six. Representatives from the various partners involved in the creation and operation of the MWEYFRC gathered at 7 Centennial Drive North in Martensville for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. In truth, the centre has already been offering programming in the area since spring, but the staff lacked a permanent space; as such, they operated out of the Warman High School and ran programs in different city parks. The permanent location, a former Credit Union in close proximity to local parks, was only secured this fall, and the public has been able to access the centre’s services since early October. “In the short amount of time that we’ve been in our permanent location, we’ve seen an infinite amount of smiles and joy when families come to the centre, whether it’s for drop-in play or our most popular program, our Sip n’ Chat,” said centre co-ordinator Emily Martens. The YMCA of Saskatoon is the main operating partner of the centre, in collaboration with Prairie Spirit School Division. DeAnn Mercier, CEO of the Saskatoon YMCA, said they also operate two other Early Years Family Resource Centres in the city: one location in Fairhaven that has been open since 2020, and another in Brighton that opened in 2024. “These locations have since welcomed over 31,000 visiting families through their doors, and we know the centre in Martensville will be just as successful,” said Mercier. While it is not a daycare, Mercier summarized the centre’s purpose as being “a space to play with your child, meet people and get advice from early childhood professionals, all for free.” The services provided are guided by four program pillars of early learning, parent education, family wellness and community information and referrals. Mercier noted the value of just being able to hear from other people that what you are going through as a new parent is normal, and it’s OK for your child to make a mess. “Sometimes you just need to hear someone else say that, and you need a third space where you can get out of your house with your kids,” she said. Funding for the MWEYFRC is provided through the provincial Ministry of Education’s Early Years Branch. Warman MLA Terry Jenson, who brought greetings on behalf of Education Minister Everett Hindley, said the provincial government has opened a total of 21 such centres in 19 communities, including Saskatoon and Regina, Prince Albert, Estevan and the Battlefords. “The work done here ... and at all the Saskatchewan Early Years Family Resource Centres are making tremendous impacts on families throughout the province,” he said. “I’m a parent, so I can relate. We didn’t have a facility like this when my kids were young. So it’s going to be a very, very beneficial space.” As a lifelong educator, a parent and an uncle, Martensville Mayor Kent Muench indicated he was aware of how vital this type of support is for young children, not just in terms of their graduation rates from school but also in terms of their future success. He added that in the communities of Martensville and Warman, “we really value a place that is safe and provides opportunities for families.” Warman Mayor Gary Philipchuk also commented that as a teacher and former vice principal at Warman High School, he understood and personally witnessed the value of a solid early learning foundation and providing access to resources to families with young children. He said he wished his parents had access to a centre like this when he had been younger. “Being a parent and not having relatives close by can be scary, and something that we need support with. The Early Years Centre brings together parents who might be in similar situations, and the benefits of having them are immeasurable,” he said. Neda Wilson of the Prairie Spirit School Division, who co-chairs the management committee that oversees the centre, said the division serves as the dedicated accountability partner, helping to oversee the centre’s development. This includes engaging in community planning, advising on the budget and helping shape the strategic direction of the centre, as well as managing service agreements and securing funding when needed. All of this is “critical” to ensuring the centre’s sustainability and impact, she added. Wilson said the management committee includes not just the division and the cities of Martensville and Warman, but also agencies like Regional Kids First, the Ministry of Social Services and the Saskatchewan Health Authority. “This centre is not just a building. It’s a symbol of our shared commitment to children and families, fostering a brighter future for our communities,” Wilson said. The grand opening ceremony was concluded by Martens sharing a story about the impact of the centre: the story of a family who had brought their child to one of their painting programs, which was the child’s first experience with “messy play.” She said, “The parent was filled with joy as they saw their child experimenting with paint, and how focused he had become.” The next day, the family had bought paint for the child, and it had a noticeable effect on his behaviour and engagement with activities. “This is just one of many positive stories we receive from families and the benefits they take with them when they leave the centre,” Martens said.Jim Abrahams, Brilliant Director of ‘Airplane!,’ ‘Naked Gun,’ Dies at 80
Star Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh looks to be under a level of doubt for the second Test in Adelaide, as selectors ponder the thought of another curveball.

Meanwhile, a former Australian gun has gone into bat for his old side amid a wave of criticism after their 295-run loss in Perth. Keep up with all the latest news ahead of the second match in Adelaide with Test Daily! INJURY CLOUDS HOVERS OVER MARSH Another potential selection headache has appeared over the heads of Australian selectors, with question marks on the fitness of star all-rounder Mitchell Marsh after the first Test. After bowling 17 overs in Perth for his three wickets, Marsh looks to be under a level of doubt for the second Test in Adelaide; granted the extent of his soreness is not fully known. “The same people in that changeroom are the same people that will be in Adelaide,” McDonald said post-match in Perth. “Has he (Marsh) pulled up okay? We’ll wait and see. “We knew that Mitch was slightly underdone coming in, but I thought the performance in the first innings was satisfactory.” Marsh has regularly been a golden arm option for Australia since his re-inclusion back in the Test side in Leeds last year, but an injury to Western Australia teammate Cameron Green has forced captain Pat Cummins to turn to Marsh more than he would otherwise. The nation’s bowling stocks were severely tested in India’s second innings in Perth, with the Aussies using seven bowlers across 134.3 overs before India’s declaration. Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head are viable options for part-time spin, however the former’s turn towards seam-up tactics were criticised heavily by the Australian public; emphasising the importance that Marsh brings with the ball. Should Marsh not be considered fit for Adelaide, uncapped wicketkeeper-bat Josh Inglis looks would almost certainly be his replacement; given he is he only batter in the 13-man squad that did not play in Perth. Seamer Scott Boland is the other reserve player in the squad. STAR GOES INTO BAT FOR FORMER TEAMMATES Former Australian spinner Steve O’Keefe has strongly defended his nation’s Test side amid a wave of criticism, labelling the influx as “tall poppy syndrome”. “It frustrates me ... I think the pile on is unjustified,” the retired left-arm orthodox told SEN on Tuesday. “The pile on is just indicative of a lot of people wanting to come out, (express) tall poppy syndrome in Australia, and latch onto this team. “I think the pile on has been rough... we do expect a high standard of that team, so there’s some frustrations out there — but they’re not coming from my end.” “We’re looking at a team that is number one in the world; this is a champion team for a reason. You put these guys in a corner, and they’ll respond — and they have done it time, and time again. “I’m backing this Australian team to turn it around.” O’Keefe played nine Test matches for Australia, taking 35 wickets at an average of just 29.40.LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Arsenal defender Gabriel kept Viktor Gyokeres quiet — then had the audacity to steal the in-demand Sporting Lisbon striker's trademark goal celebration. After heading in Arsenal's third first-half goal in the Champions League on Tuesday, Gabriel linked the fingers of his hands and placed them over his eyes, before laughing with his teammates. It was most likely a dig at Gyokeres, the Sweden striker who has quickly become one of European soccer's hottest properties . That is how Gyokeres celebrates his goals — and he has scored plenty of those this season. Gyokeres has scored 24 goals for Sporting in all competitions and was coming off netting four for Sweden in a Nations League match against Azerbaijan. Earlier in the first half, Gabriel had enjoyed tackling and dispossessing Gyokeres near the Arsenal area — waving both his arms in a gesture to the crowd. Gabriel's goal made it 3-0 to Arsenal at halftime and the English team went on to win 5-1, with Gyokeres failing to score. He did hit the post with a shot late in the game, however — after Gabriel had gone off with an injury. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer The Associated Press
