Pep Guardiola has apologised for a self-harm remark made during his post-match press conference following Manchester City ’s 3-3 Champions League draw with Feyenoord. After City squandered a 3-0 lead, Guardiola was asked about a scratch on his nose. In a moment he later described as an ill-judged joke, he replied, “I want to harm myself.” The comment, intended humorously, raised concerns given its sensitive nature. City, enduring a five-game losing streak before the match, saw their lead evaporate following a defensive error by Josko Gvardiol that allowed Feyenoord’s Anis Hadj Moussa to spark the comeback. Guardiola, visibly frustrated, was seen with his head in his hands during the match. In response to the backlash, Guardiola took to social media on Wednesday to clarify his comment: “I was caught off guard with a question about a scratch on my face and explained that a sharp fingernail had caused it. My answer was in no way intended to make light of the serious issue of self-harm,” he wrote. He expressed his awareness of the mental health challenges many face and used the moment to promote support resources. “I know that many people struggle with mental health issues every day, and I want to highlight that help is available by calling the Samaritans hotline on 116 123 or emailing [email protected] ,” Guardiola added. Guardiola’s apology comes amid rising pressure on City, whose recent poor form has placed their Champions League ambitions in jeopardy. The team is now focused on turning their fortunes around in upcoming fixtures.WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Derek Tran wins election to U.S. House in California's 45th Congressional District, beating incumbent Michelle Steel.SHLD: Potentially Bumpy Waters Ahead For Defense NamesMatt Gaetz Withdrawing AG Nomination Frustrates Some Conservatives

PM Oli visits hospital to inquire about father's healthWASHINGTON - Jimmy Carter, the 100-year-old former US president and Nobel peace laureate who rose from humble beginnings in rural Georgia to lead the nation from 1977 to 1981, has died, his nonprofit foundation said. Carter had been in hospice care since mid-February 2023 at his home in Plains, Georgia -- the same small town where he was born and once ran a peanut farm before becoming governor of the Peach State and running for the White House. Carter died "peacefully" at his home in Plains, "surrounded by his family," the Carter Center said in a statement. "My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights and unselfish love," Chip Carter said in the statement. Outside the White House, where the flag was lowered to half-staff, tourist Yoni Neirman remembered Carter as a leader "who tried to do good things for this country and for people." "I think he was a real statesman, and that kind of person doesn't seem to exist, at least not in the near future," the Vermont resident said, adding that Carter was the first president she ever voted for. Carter was the longest-lived US president -- an outcome that seemed unlikely back in 2015 when the Southern Democrat revealed he had brain cancer. But the US Navy veteran and fervent Christian repeatedly defied the odds to enjoy a long and fruitful post-presidency, after four years in the Oval Office often seen as disappointing. During his single term, Carter placed a commitment on human rights and social justice, enjoying a strong first two years that included brokering a peace deal between Israel and Egypt dubbed the Camp David Accords. But his administration hit numerous snags -- the most serious being the taking of US hostages in Iran and the disastrous failed attempt to rescue the 52 captive Americans in 1980. He also came in for criticism for his handling of an oil crisis. Carter, known for his toothy smile, said basic Christian tenets such as justice and love served as the bedrock of his presidency. He taught Sunday school at Maranatha Baptist, his church in Plains, well into his 90s. In recent years, he had received various hospital treatments, including when he revealed in August 2015 that he had brain cancer and was undergoing radiation. As condolences came in, many focused on Carter's character, with President Joe Biden, in televised remarks, saying he "lived a life measured not by words, but by his deeds." "The rest of the world looks to us... and he was worth looking to." White House leaders past and future joined Biden in issuing remembrances, with Bill Clinton saying in a statement that Carter "worked tirelessly for a better, fairer world." George W. Bush said Carter's legacy would "inspire Americans for generations," and Barack Obama said the former leader "taught all of us what it means to live a life of grace, dignity, justice, and service." Donald Trump said Americans owed the Democrat "a debt of gratitude," later adding, in a second social media post, that "I strongly disagreed with him philosophically and politically."BISMARCK – North Dakota’s snowmobile official season will open Dec. 1, but several conditions must be met before the state’s 2,800 miles of snowmobile trails are open, groomed and ready for travel, the North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department said in a news release. Adequate snow cover of 4 packed inches must be on the ground to allow for trail grooming. Signs must be put in place, and to travel across wetland areas, the ice must be thick enough to support the weight of trail groomers. ADVERTISEMENT The public is encouraged to prepare now in order to be ready to ride when the trails have sufficient snowpack by completing this checklist: “Snowmobiling is a great way to connect to the outdoors during our winter season,” said Tony Hillig, recreation chief for North Dakota Parks and Recreation. “People can support local communities, enjoy time with family, and explore many areas of our state they may not have visited before.” The public can view updates and trail conditions through the free Snowmobile North Dakota mobile app. The app also tracks trips, current location on a trail using GPS, and offers locations of nearby amenities while allowing users to save and load itineraries. More features are available by upgrading to the pro version. In addition to the app, online trail maps and current trail conditions can be found online at snowmobileND.org. “North Dakota’s snowmobile trails offer something for everyone, from thrilling rides through open fields to scenic routes through forested areas,” said Todd Thronson, SnowmobileND executive director. “Riders are encouraged to ride responsibly, stay on designated trails, and most importantly, have fun.” North Dakota law requires youth ages 10 and older who do not have a valid driver's license or permit to take a safety certification class. The safety certification class can be taken online at any time.

Bret Bielema caught a flight to Oakland, Calif., this past Sunday to get face-to-face time with offensive lineman J.C. Davis. The Illinois football coach needed to make another pitch just shy of a year after Bielema was in Davis’ living room to initially sell him on Champaign as his transfer destination following two seasons at New Mexico. It’s the season Davis spent at Contra Costa College in San Pablo, Calif., that sent Bielema to the West Coast before Christmas. A year of eligibility he can now get back given the NCAA’s response to Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia receiving an injunction from a federal judge allowing him to pursue one more season on the field. The decision made by Judge William Campbell is not a final ruling, but it does prevent the NCAA from not allowing players who fall under this issue to play in 2025 until the case is resolved. The NCAA’s move to extend an extra year of eligibility to any athletes who competed at a non-NCAA school for one or more years and would have exhausted their eligibility in 2024-25 was essentially made to forestall further lawsuits like the one Pavia filed in November. Outlining that entire process to Davis became priority No. 1 for Bielema before Illinois left for Orlando, Fla., and the Citrus Bowl on Christmas. “I met with J.C. and his family and did a recruiting pitch for him and showed him what we think the value of him is and what he can do in our program,” Bielema told reporters Friday afternoon in Orlando. “I don’t know if anybody else in college football did that, but I think we wanted to let him know exactly what we thought of him and give him a lot of education. It changed literally overnight. “Here’s a guy that’s playing in the Senior Bowl (in February) and thought he was playing in his last college football game and now he has a chance for a whole other year.” Davis started all 12 games at left tackle during the regular season and earned All-Big Ten Third-Team honors in the process. It was the type of production Bielema and Co. were looking for when they made Davis a priority in the transfer portal this past January following an All-Mountain West First-Team caliber season with New Mexico in 2023. The 6-foot-5, 320-pound offensive lineman was the highest-graded tackle in the nation that returned in 2024, per Pro Football Focus. “You always say this, if you’re never talking about your left tackle, it’s a good thing,” Bielema said. “He just literally does what he’s supposed to do. I thought the last half of the season, the way he played and the way he kind of engaged in the way we were doing things, it really took his play to another level.” Davis was one of two players on the Illinois roster affected by the NCAA’s blanket waiver for an additional year of eligibility. Fellow offensive lineman Zy Crisler spent the 2021 season at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College in Perkinston, Miss., before transferring to Illinois. Crisler entered the transfer portal on Thursday. While he started all 13 games at right guard in 2022 and made 11 total starts in 2023 — nine at right guard and two at right tackle — he wound up splitting time with Brandon Henderson at right guard this season and made six starts while playing all 12 games. “I had a good conversation with Zy,” Bielema said. “I kind of had a feeling this year with the split time and what was going on he would look for another opportunity. He’s playing in the bowl game and expect him to play a lot and play very, very well, and then we’ll help him find a home.” Bielema’s hope is Davis’ home in 2025 is once again Champaign, but there is no expected timetable for that decision. “I told him there’s no expiration date,” the Illinois coach said. “We’re not a milk carton in the fridge.” Get local news delivered to your inbox!Canada didn't live up to its values on immigration in recent years, Carney says
Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt said that one of Donald Trump ‘s first priorities in office should be to exact revenge. He suggested that Trump get rid of any Justice Department employees who were involved in cases that brought charges against the former president. “First and foremost, the people involved with this should be fired immediately,” Schmitt, who was a contender for Trump’s attorney general nomination, said on Sunday’s Meet the Press. “Anybody part of this effort to keep President Trump off the ballot and to throw him in jail for the rest of his life because they didn’t like his politics and to continue to cast him as a quote, unquote threat to democracy was wrong, and so we’ll see where that goes,” he added. Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is leading criminal investigations into Trump’s role in attempting to subvert the 2020 election and his handling of classified documents, has said he plans to wind down his efforts ahead of Trump’s inauguration due to the “unprecedented circumstance” that the defendant was elected president. The Justice Department has long upheld a policy of not prosecuting presidents. Smith could still author a report on his findings, but Attorney General Merrick Garland would decide whether or not to release it publicly. Trump has threatened he will fire Smith and his entire team within “two seconds” of returning to power. This past August, Trump re-shared a post on Truth Social that said Smith “should be prosecuted for election interference & prosecutorial misconduct.” As Rolling Stone reported in August , Trump has planned since 2021 — when he left office — to indict those he perceives to be his enemies. In addition to Smith, that includes Garland, President Joe Biden, FBI Director Christopher Wray, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and others. Trump continued to threaten retribution during the 2024 presidential campaign. “There are almost too many targets to keep track of,” a Trump adviser familiar with the discussions told Rolling Stone. Pam Bondi is Trump’s choice for attorney general following former Rep. Matt Gaetz’s withdrawing his own nomination due to allegations in a House Ethics Committee report that he had sex multiple times with a 17-year-old. Bondi has endorsed Trump’s revenge plans, telling Fox News’ Sean Hannity in 2023 that when Trump returns to the White House, “the Department of Justice, the prosecutors, will be prosecuted.” “The investigators will be investigated,” Bondi added, “because the deep state — last term for President Trump — they were hiding in the shadows. But now they have a spotlight on them, and they can all be investigated and the house needs to be cleaned out.” Schmitt said he will be a “yes” vote on Bondi’s nomination. He also confirmed he will vote to confirm Trump’s choices of Fox News commentator Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence.
Free shots and beer buckets in party town at centre of suspected methanol deaths Social Media/Handout Holly Bowles, left, was confirmed to have died on Friday, a day after British lawyer Simone White and Australian Bianca Jones For Australian friends Bianca Jones and Holly Bowles, it was their first big trip venturing out to explore the world. Like so many 19-year-olds, they were drawn to the romance of backpacking across South East Asia - where food is great, people are friendly and the scenery stunning. They had "saved up enough money after school and university to have their overseas jaunt, as so many of our kids do," said their football team coach Nick Heath. "And off they went." They ended up on 12 November in the riverside town of Vang Vieng in central Laos. The two checked into the popular Nana Backpacker Hostel - where guests often receive a free shot upon arrival. Days later both were on life support in hospitals in Thailand. Jones's death was announced on 21 November, and Bowles's a day later. The death of a British woman, 28-year-old Simone White, was also announced on Thursday. They are among six foreign tourists who have died from what is believed to be a mass incident of methanol poisoning in Vang Vieng. AP The inside of Nana Backpack hostel Two Danish women, aged 19 and 20, died last week, while an American man also died. They have not been identified. It is unclear how many others have fallen ill, but a transnational police investigation is now underway into the deaths. Much of the scrutiny has fallen on the hostel where some of the victims were reportedly staying. The girls had taken free shots there before heading out for the night. The hostel manager has denied culpability, saying the same drinks had been served to at least 100 other guests that night who reported no problems. The manager was taken in by police for questioning on Thursday. Mr Heath, who spoke to media on behalf of Ms Bowles's family, said they knew it was methanol that... Frances MaoTWIN LAUNCH One of the two newSES satellites launched on Dec. 17 —CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Satellite telecommunications network provider SES has launched two additional satellites to medium Earth orbit (MEO) from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, United States. The launch of two O3b mPOWER satellites, which took place on Dec. 17 at 5:26 p.m. local time, used a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. These new satellites will complement the six already in operation, significantly boosting the capacity and performance of the satellite constellation. Satellites in MEO, ranging from 2,000 to 35,800 kilometers above the surface of the Earth, are often used for navigation, communication and Earth observation. The latest satellites feature advanced payload power modules, enhancing the second-generation MEO system of Luxembourg-based SES. This upgrade is seen to allow SES to deliver high-speed, low-latency internet services across the Asia-Pacific region and globally, serving major customers such as Microsoft and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. In the Philippines, SES has committed to improve internet connectivity. This was showcased through a proof-of-concept test with the Department of Information and Communications Technology that achieved speeds of 500 Mbps for downloads and 80 Mbps for uploads. This is seen to demonstrate the potential of the O3b mPOWER satellites to provide robust, high-bandwidth connectivity, ideal for businesses, telecommunications, maritime operations and defense sectors, particularly in remote areas of the Philippines. SES has a growing list of prominent clients, including Microsoft, Princess Cruises and various government agencies, all relying on these satellites for reliable internet access. “O3b mPOWER system is our most powerful, technically advanced, flexible satellite constellation in space. As we increase the number of satellites in our constellation, we also exponentially increase the capacity and efficiency of our network,” says Adel Al-Saleh, CEO of SES. “Ever since the start of service of O3b mPOWER earlier this year, we have seen how it has become an integral part of connectivity experience of our customers. We have also learned a lot and have put all of those insights to work as we progress in our innovation journey to scale up our service and meet even the most sophisticated requirements of our customers,” Al-Saleh adds. In total, the O3b mPOWER system will eventually consist of 13 satellites, with five more currently under construction and scheduled for launch within the next 18 months. This expansion is further expected to enhance connectivity options for users throughout the Philippines and beyond. Subscribe to our daily newsletter By providing an email address.
