The normally reliable centre-back passed the ball into his own net in the 26th minute after failing to spot goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel’s positioning. But a brilliant turn and finish on the hour mark from Daizen Maeda changed the game and ultimately earned the Scottish champions a 1-1 home draw. On the opener, Rodgers said: “Mistakes happen and it was just unfortunate. He’s played that pass a million times and it’s gone back and then we’ve been able to play forward. It was just one of those unfortunate moments in the game that happens. “But he’s a really, really tough character. He’s a great guy, he picked himself up. He was really strong and aggressive again in the game and got on with it and had a real bravery in the second half, because he was the one carrying the ball forward for us to start the attack.” Despite the gift, Brugge were worthy of their lead and Rodgers admitted his side were too passive in their pressing in the opening half. Some tactical tweaks – and the introduction of Paulo Bernardo – helped Celtic dominate after Maeda’s equaliser, although Brugge had a goal disallowed for a marginal offside. “I can only credit the players for the second half, because we had to fight,” Rodgers said. “And we’re still one of those teams that’s really pushing to try and make a mark at this level. So to make the comeback, score the goal, play with that courage, I was so pleased. “You want to win but I’ve been here enough times to have lost a game like that, but we didn’t. We showed a real strong mentality and we kept pushing right to the very end and the players did well. “I thought they showed great courage in the second half because we weren’t at our level in the first half. Sometimes a game like that can get away from you, but it didn’t. “We stayed with it, showed that determination, showed that mentality, never to quit, to keep going. And then we were much, much better, much freer in the second half. “So we’re on eight points, nine to play for. We’re still very much on course to get to where we want to get to and still three games to go.” Rodgers added: “It’s 20 games now and we’ve won 16 and drawn three and lost one, so it shows you the mentality is there, and especially at this level, you need to have that.”

Police arrested a 26-year-old man on Monday in the Manhattan killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO after they say a Pennsylvania McDonald's worker alerted authorities to a customer who resembled the suspected gunman. The suspect, identified by police as Luigi Nicholas Mangione, had a gun believed to be the one used in Wednesday’s attack on Brian Thompson , as well as writings expressing anger at corporate America, police said. Here are some of the latest developments in the ongoing investigation: Where was the man captured? Mangione was taken into custody at around 9:15 a.m. after police received a tip that he was eating at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 85 miles (137 kilometers) east of Pittsburgh, police said. Mangione was being held in Pennsylvania on gun charges and will eventually be extradited to New York to face charges in connection with Thompson’s death, said NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny. What evidence did police find? In addition to a three-page, handwritten document that suggests he harbored “ill will toward corporate America,” Kenny said Mangione also had a ghost gun , a type of weapon that can be assembled at home and is difficult to trace. Officers questioned Mangione, who was acting suspiciously and carrying multiple fraudulent IDs, as well as a U.S. passport, New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a news conference. Officers also found a suppressor, “consistent with the weapon used in the murder,” the commissioner said. He had clothing and a mask similar to those worn by the shooter and a fraudulent New Jersey ID matching one the suspect used to check into a New York City hostel before the shooting, Tisch said. What do we know about Mangione? Kenny said Mangione was born and raised in Maryland, has ties to San Francisco and that his last known address is in Honolulu, Hawaii. Mangione, who was valedictorian of his Maryland prep school, earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science in 2020 from the University of Pennsylvania, a university spokesman told The Associated Press on Monday. He learned to code in high school and helped start a club at Penn for people interested in gaming and game design, according to a 2018 story in Penn Today, a campus publication. His social media posts also suggest that he belonged to the fraternity Phi Kappa Psi. They also show him taking part in a 2019 program at Stanford University, and in photos with family and friends at the Jersey Shore and in Hawaii, San Diego, Puerto Rico, and other destinations. The Gilman School, from which Mangione graduated in 2016, is one of Baltimore’s elite prep schools. Some of the city’s wealthiest and most prominent people, including Orioles legend Cal Ripken Jr., have had children attend the school. Its alumni include sportswriter Frank Deford and former Arizona Gov. Fife Symington. In his valedictory speech, Luigi Mangione described his classmates’ “incredible courage to explore the unknown and try new things,” according to a post on the school website. He praised their collective inventiveness and pioneering mindset. Mangione comes from a prominent Maryland family. His grandfather Nick Mangione, who died in 2008, was a successful real estate developer. One of his best-known projects was Turf Valley Resort, a sprawling luxury retreat and conference center outside Baltimore that he purchased in 1978. The father of 10 children, Nick Mangione prepared his five sons — including Luigi Mangione’s father, Louis Mangione — to help manage the family business, according to a 2003 Washington Post report. The Mangione family also purchased Hayfields Country Club north of Baltimore in 1986. On Monday, Baltimore County police officers blocked off an entrance to the property, which public records link to Luigi Mangione’s parents. A swarm of reporters and photographers gathered outside the entrance. Luigi Mangione is one of 37 grandchildren of Nick Mangione, according to his obituary. Luigi Mangione's grandparents donated to charities through the Mangione Family Foundation, according to a statement from Loyola University commemorating Nick Mangione’s wife’s death in 2023. They donated to various causes ranging from Catholic organizations to colleges and the arts. One of Luigi Mangione’s cousins is Republican Maryland state legislator Nino Mangione. A spokesman for the lawmaker's office confirmed the relationship Monday. The shooting and a quick escape Police said the person who killed Thompson left a hostel on Manhattan's Upper West Side at 5:41 a.m. on Wednesday. Just 11 minutes later, he was seen on surveillance video walking back and forth in front of the New York Hilton Midtown, wearing a distinctive backpack. At 6:44 a.m., he shot Thompson at a side entrance to the hotel, fled on foot, then climbed aboard a bicycle and within four minutes had entered Central Park. Another security camera recorded the gunman leaving the park near the American Museum of Natural History at 6:56 a.m. still on the bicycle but without the backpack. After getting in a taxi, he headed north to a bus terminal near the George Washington Bridge, arriving at around 7:30 a.m. From there, the trail of video evidence runs cold. Police have not located video of the suspected shooter exiting the building, leading them to believe he likely took a bus out of town. Police said they are still investigating the path the suspect took to Pennsylvania. “This just happened this morning," Kenny said. "We’ll be working, backtracking his steps from New York to Altoona, Pennsylvania,” Kenny said.

The complaint was amended Sunday in U.S. District Court in New York to add Jay-Z as a defendant after originally being filed against Combs in October. It alleges they “took turns assaulting the minor” at a party after the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000. In a statement issued Sunday by Roc Nation, Jay-Z’s entertainment company, he assailed Tony Buzbee, the attorney for the anonymous accuser. “These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!” the statement said. “Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree?” The statement called the lawsuit’s claims “idiotic” and something that would be laughable “if not for the seriousness surrounding harm to kids.” “You have made a terrible error in judgment in thinking that all ‘celebrities are the same,’” the statement said. “I’m not from your world. I’m a young man who made it out of the project of Brooklyn. We don’t play these types of games. We have very strict codes and honor. We protect children. ...” Federal prosecutors charged Combs in September with crimes including sex trafficking and racketeering. He has pleaded not guilty. Buzbee, a Texas-based attorney, has filed several lawsuits against Combs since his arrest. The attorney didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. An anonymous celebrity sued Buzbee in Los Angeles County Superior Court in November, accusing the attorney of threatening to “unleash entirely fabricated and malicious allegations of sexual assault” if the celebrity didn’t participate in a “confidential mediation.” The lawsuit said Buzbee alleged the celebrity raped “multiple minors, both male and female, who had been drugged at parties hosted by Combs.” On Sunday, Buzbee pushed back against Jay-Z on social media: “Mr. Carter previously denied being the one who sued me and my firm. He filed his frivolous case under a pseudonym. ... Since I sent the letter on her behalf, Mr. Carter has not only sued me, but he has tried to bully and harass me and this plaintiff. His conduct has had the opposite impact” She is emboldened. I’m very proud of her resolve.”

Rutgers coach Greg Schiano then called timeout to try and ice kicker . Moczulski actually kicked the ball wide left and approximately 15 yards short, but the attempt was negated by the timeout.

While President Joe Biden has cleared millions' student loan debt during his presidency, Congress could now approve a law that would increase student loan payments for a large number of borrowers. The College Cost Reduction Act is predicted to reduce the government deficit by $250 to $280 billion over a decade, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Specifically, Congress could save $155 billion from the law's changes to Pell grants and student loans and $127 billion from repealing and replacing Biden's SAVE income-driven repayment plan, which is currently facing legal challenges. North Carolina Republican Representative Virginia Foxx introduced the bill this year. If implemented, it would require borrowers to pay back what they owe on a 10-year standard payment and double the Pell grant award for juniors and seniors at college on track to graduate. "The positive aspect for these students is that Pell grant funding would increase," Michael Lux, an attorney and founder of the Student Loan Sherpa, told Newsweek. "Additionally, the goal of the act is to lower college costs, and to the extent that colleges lower prices, it could help some families. However, the act comes with a considerable downside." The bill would also eliminate PLUS loans for graduate students and the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program, causing some concern over how it would actually end up impacting college affordability. There'd also be strict borrowing caps for students taking out loans. For undergraduates, the amount would be limited to $50,000, while graduate students would see a $100,000 maximum borrowing amount. "The borrowing caps could greatly restrict access to federal loans for students in expensive professional programs like law or medicine," Michael Ryan, a finance expert and the founder of michaelryanmoney.com, told Newsweek . "Interestingly, high-income graduate borrowers might benefit from the capped total payments compared to existing income-driven repayment plans." Alex Beene, a financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee at Martin, said ultimately the law could hurt low-income students who already struggle to afford college in the long run. "The act would in some situations double the amount of assistance low income students could receive in their final two years of undergraduate study through the pell grant system, which sounds great in theory," Beene told Newsweek. "However, the proposal also looks to make universities take more responsibility for unpaid loans, and that could lead to college costs rising to create a financial cushion for that increased liability. At the end of the day, it's difficult to see outside of additional Pell grant assistance how this really saves incoming students on the price of an education." Jessica Thompson, Senior Vice President at The Institute for College Access & Success (TICAS), called the bill a "misguided approach" to increasing college access and lowering costs. "The reality is, the College Cost Reduction Act would increase financial burdens and risks for students and borrowers," Jessica Thompson told Newsweek . "We conducted rigorous analysis on the bill and found that it would increase monthly student loan payments for most borrowers. It could also leave some borrowers indebted indefinitely, as well as increase delinquency and default rates." Newsweek reached out to Foxx for comment via email. Now that Trump is reentering the White House and Republicans won the House, passing the bill could become even more likely, said Kevin Thompson, a finance expert and the founder and CEO of 9i Capital Group. "I do believe the new administration would be looking to cut costs anywhere possible, and if this is a net benefit for the incoming administration, I would foresee this being passed," Kevin Thompson told Newsweek. Those in favor of the College Cost Reduction Act say it would force colleges to lower prices by getting rid of PLUS loans for parents and graduate students, but not everyone is certain. "The problem for many current and potential students is that without the help of PLUS loans, they can't attend school," Lux said. "Fewer students who can attend school might push prices down, but it only helps those who can afford to pay out of pocket or qualify for private financing." Due to the divided political climate in Congress, substantial revisions might be necessary in order for the bill to gain wider support, Ryan said. "Republicans are generally supportive of its accountability and cost-control measures while Democrats are concerned about potential negative impacts on low-income students," Ryan said.
United Rugby Championship: Connacht v Ulster Venue: The Sportsground, Galway Date: Saturday, 28 December Kick-off: 19:35 GMT Coverage: Listen on BBC Sounds & Radio Ulster; live text updates, reaction and highlights on BBC Sport website & app Ulster back row Nick Timoney says he will never take his place in the squad for granted after years of watching players come and go at Kingspan Stadium. Having won 155 caps since his debut in 2017, Timoney is one of the most experienced players in an increasingly youthful Ulster squad. However, when he was breaking through, the Dubliner admitted to being struck by how the departure of seasoned campaigners alters the team dynamic. "My first couple of years at Ulster, I remember there were loads of lads who left, the Tommys [Bowe], the Trimbys [Andrew Trimble], Roger Wilsons and Ruan Pienaars all left," recalled Timoney when asked about his close friend Greg Jones leaving the club earlier this year. "I remember thinking it's quite a striking element because the whole team dynamic seems to change. "I swore to myself that I'd never take it for granted, that people always come and go. You obviously get very close with people and you don't want to forget that. But when it's you that's been around longer and it's some of your friends that are going, it feels a little bit different. "It's the nature of it but it's tough, it's sad. Every year, there's reasoning and logic behind it, the progression, that's just the way it is and it'll be me one day as well, I'm sure." While several players have committed their long-term future to Ulster in recent months, Timoney - who is out of contract in the summer - is yet to pen a fresh deal. "I'd say there's a good chance, I don't know," he said when asked if he will be at Ulster next season. "I think everyone just wants to get things going in the right direction and see. I'm loving my time at Ulster. As much as there are disappointments and we're struggling at the moment, I have full faith we can get it going in the right direction again." Timoney has made three appearances for Ulster since returning from a frustrating autumn campaign with Ireland. While fellow Ulster forward Cormac Izuchukwu was handed his debut by head coach Andy Farrell, Timoney was denied a first cap in two years. "Pretty difficult, to be fair," Timoney said when asked about his conversation with Farrell. "I go into a campaign with Ireland thinking this is going to be the one that everything changes and I'll get another chance and get myself into that team properly. "I've done that in the last few [camps] but unfortunately it hasn't quite been coming for the last while. I haven't played in a couple of years. He told me to keep the faith and keep doing what I'm doing and keep pushing to get better." Rather than sulking, Timoney says he will use his recent lack of game-time with Ireland as fuel in his quest to become a regular fixture at Test level. "I certainly know I'm not the perfect player or finished product so you have to be real with yourself and your ego there," he admitted. "You're obviously upset but nobody owes the chance to play for Ireland. "It's not anyone else's problem, it's my problem. I have to get better and go harder every week and get to the point where they can't ignore me. That's probably on me if they feel they're not obligated to pick me. It's on me to play better and I've certainly been trying."The police used 'mild' force outside the counting centre in Sillod assembly constituency in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district of Maharashtra on Saturday after a large number of supporters of two rival Shiv Sena candidates came face to face during the , an official said, reported the PTI. The incident took place around 5.45 pm as police tried to control the ensuing chaos, the official said. In Sillod, the nominee of Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and state minister Abdul Sattar was leading by a margin of 2,420 against Suresh Bankar of Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena (UBT) after 20 rounds as per the Election Commission. According to the PTI, as counting was underway, a disorderly crowd of supporters of both candidates gathered outside the centre, the official said. "To prevent any untoward incident, police used 'mild' lathi charge to disperse the supporters of the two Shiv Senas. The situation is peaceful and under control," a senior official from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar rural police told PTI. Meanwhile, the Maharashtra assembly election contest saw intense rivalries among several political families including the Sharad Pawar clan in the Baramati constituency. NCP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar trounced his nephew and debutant politician Yugendra Pawar by over 1 lakh votes, winning the eighth term from the bastion. The resounding victory marks Ajit Pawar settling political scores with his uncle Sharad Pawar and his daughter Supriya Sule in the first assembly contest after the NCP split in July 2023. Six months back, 's wife Sunetra Pawar was defeated by Sule in the Lok Sabha elections 2024 from Baramati. Another dramatic family contest played out in the Kannad constituency in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district of the Marathwada region, where Sanjana Danve, daughter of ex-Union minister and BJP leader Raosaheb Danve, successfully contested her debut election on the Shiv Sena ticket. Sanjana faced a personal and political challenge from her estranged husband, Harshvardhan Jadhav who contested as an Independent. Despite the complicated circumstances, she emerged victorious, marking a successful debut in the political arena. Sanjana polled 84,492 votes, defeating Harashvardhan by a margin of 18,201 votes. Her victory added to the growing presence of Shiv Sena in the region, with her brother Santosh Raosaheb Danve, the incumbent BJP MLA, holding on to his Bhokardan seat in Jalna district of Maharashtra.

‘The out of office is on’ – Prime Time presenter Fran McNulty marries RTÉ colleagueThere are a number of and gas stocks to choose from on the Australian share market. But which ones could be top options for investors right now? Let's look at two ASX oil and gas stocks that analysts rate as buys. They are as follows: ( ) The first ASX oil and gas stock that could be a buy according to analysts is Santos. It is a global company with operations across Australia, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste and the United States. Analysts at Ord Minnett are bullish on the company due to its positive free cash flow (FCF) outlook. They explain: An estimated FCF yield of 20% once Pikka and Barossa LNG start producing, and rigorous control of how that extra cash is spent, implies to us that Santos will have plenty of room to return excess capital to shareholders either via an increased payout ratio or share buybacks. In our view, the medium-term prospects for Santos offer a compelling investment opportunity. Ord Minnett currently has a buy rating and $8.50 price target on its shares. Based on the current Santos share price of $6.74, this suggests that upside of 26% is possible for investors over the next 12 months. A of ~6% is also expected in FY 2025. ( ) Another ASX oil and gas stock that could be a buy in December according to analysts is Woodside. That's the view of analysts at Morgans, which think that Australia's largest energy producer could be undervalued at current levels. Particularly given its positive growth profile, strong balance sheet, and high margins. The broker said: The tide is certainly out in terms of investor sentiment on WDS. Despite Brent oil trading in line with our long-term forecast, WDS' share price implies a near cycle-low oil price level. We do not see this as capable of being explained by WDS' growth profile (comfortably funded) or risks around non-core assets such as Browse. While the share price performance has been disappointing, supported by a strong balance sheet and high margins, we see WDS investors as capable of being patient. Investment view: We maintain an ADD recommendation believing WDS offers attractive long-term value. Morgans has an add rating and $33.00 price target on Woodside's shares. Based on its latest share price of $24.86, this implies potential upside of approximately 33% for investors over the next 12 months. In addition, a dividend yield of 6.1% is expected in FY 2025.
