Pope to skip Notre Dame opening in Paris for Corsica visitYes, it’s at a 20-man exhibition tournament in the offseason, but Scottie Scheffler added to his historic 2024 season with a ninth win as he ran away with the Hero World Challenge on Sunday in the Bahamas. The Hero is Tiger Woods’ annual event at the Albany resort where many of the top players in the world play to raise money for the Tiger Woods Foundation. While Woods didn’t play this year as he recovers from another back surgery, the field included Ludvig Aberg, Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, Sahith Theegala and Tom Kim, among others. And for the second year in a row, Scheffler cruised to a win in his final appearance before the 2025 season kicks off in Hawaii. Advertisement Scheffler, who played four rounds in 25 under par, entered Sunday with only a one-shot lead before opening with three birdies on the first four holes. He was able to then easily carry that four-shot lead throughout the afternoon with a final round 64 to hold off Kim (19-under) and Thomas (18-under). Scheffler also did it while debuting a new putting grip, switching to a claw grip that puts more emphasis on the shoulders and less on the hands. Scheffler’s putting woes were a major issue in 2023 as he won just three events as world No. 1, and while his putting numbers improved to above average in his epic 2024 campaign, his stroke still cost him mightily at the U.S. Open and Open Championship. “I’m always looking for little ways to improve,” Scheffler said, “It’s something that (putting coach) Phil (Kenyon) had mentioned to me last year when we first started working together. Over the last couple of months it’s something that we fiddled around with and figured this is a good week for me to kind of try things out.” That putting stroke will be a big story in 2025, but for now, the focus remains on the cap it places on his historic 2024 campaign. Scheffler now has nine tournament wins, including the Masters, an Olympic gold medal, the Players Championship and the Tour Championship. All of the first eight wins were at either signature events, the FedEx Cup playoffs or the Olympics . While greats like Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson and Sam Snead won 10 or more tournaments in a year back in the 1940s and 1950s, reaching nine wins in a calendar year is rarified air in the modern era. Tiger Woods did it three times, including reaching 10 wins in 2000 and 2006, and Vijay Singh won nine tournaments in 2004. Now, Scheffler can join the club. The next question for Scheffler will be how long he can keep this incredible three-year run as the game’s best player alive. The 2025 season begins Jan. 2 at The Sentry in Hawaii.

Overhead Cranes Market Size to Hit US$ 8.68 Billion by 2032, Owing to Rising Industrialization & Demand for Efficient Material Handling Solutions | Research by SNS Insider

Rarely does a college basketball game provide such stark contrast between the sport's haves and have-nots as when Jackson State faces No. 9 Kentucky on Friday in Lexington, Ky. While Kentucky claims eight NCAA Tournament crowns and the most wins in college basketball history, Jackson State has never won an NCAA Tournament game and enters the matchup looking for its first win of the season. Impressive tradition and current record aside, Kentucky (4-0) returned no scholarship players from last season's team that was knocked off by Oakland in the NCAA Tournament. New coach Mark Pope and his essentially all-new Wildcats are off to a promising start. Through four games, Kentucky is averaging 94.3 points per game, and with 11.5 3-pointers made per game, the team is on pace to set a school record from long distance. The Wildcats boast six double-figure scorers with transfer guards Otega Oweh (from Oklahoma, 15.0 ppg) and Koby Brea (from Dayton, 14.5 ppg) leading the team. The Wildcats defeated Duke 77-72 on Nov. 12 but showed few signs of an emotional letdown in Tuesday's 97-68 win over a Lipscomb team picked to win the Atlantic Sun Conference in the preseason. Kentucky drained a dozen 3-pointers while outrebounding their visitors 43-28. Guard Jaxson Robinson, held to a single point by Duke, dropped 20 points to lead the Kentucky attack. Afterward, Pope praised his team's focus, saying, "The last game was over and it was kind of on to, ‘How do we get better?' That's the only thing we talk about." Lipscomb coach Lennie Acuff also delivered a ringing endorsement, calling Kentucky "the best offensive Power Four team we've played in my six years at Lipscomb." Jackson State (0-5) and third-year coach Mo Williams are looking for something positive to build upon. Not only are the Tigers winless, but they have lost each game by nine or more points. Sophomore guard Jayme Mitchell Jr. (13.8 ppg) is the leading scorer, but the team shoots just 35.8 percent while allowing opponents to shoot 52.3 percent. The Tigers played on Wednesday at Western Kentucky, where they lost 79-62. Reserve Tamarion Hoover had a breakout game with 18 points to lead Jackson State, but the host Hilltoppers canned 14 3-point shots and outrebounded the Tigers 42-35 to grab the win. Earlier, Williams, who played against Kentucky while a student at Alabama, admitted the difficulties of a challenging nonconference schedule for his team. "Our goal is not to win 13 nonconference games," Williams said. "We're already at a disadvantage in that regard. We use these games to get us ready for conference play and for March Madness." Jackson State has not made the NCAA Tournament since 2007. The Tigers had a perfect regular-season record (11-0) in the Southwestern Athletic Conference in 2020-21 but lost in the league tournament. Kentucky has never played Jackson State before, but the game is being billed as part of a Unity Series of matchups in which Kentucky hosts members of the SWAC to raise awareness of Historical Black Colleges and Universities and provide funds for those schools. Past Unity Series opponents have been Southern in December 2021 and Florida A&M in December 2022. --Field Level Media

Pep Guardiola: It’s my responsibility to solve Manchester City’s poor runNone

MELBOURNE, Australia -- The Australian Senate on Thursday began considering a ban on children younger than 16 years old from social media after the House of Representatives overwhelmingly supported the age restriction. The world-first bill that would make platforms including TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, Reddit, X and Instagram liable for fines of up to 50 million Australian dollars ($33 million) for systemic failures to prevent young children from holding accounts is likely to be passed by the Senate on Thursday, the Parliament’s final session for the year and potentially the last before elections, which are due within months. The major parties’ support for the ban all but guarantees the legislation will become law. But many child welfare and mental health advocates are concerned about unintended consequences. Unaligned Sen. Jacqui Lambie complained about the limited amount of time the government gave the Senate to debate the age restriction, which she described as “undercooked.” “I thought this was a good idea. A lot of people out there thought it was a good idea until we looked at the detail and, let's be honest, there's no detail,” Lambie told the Senate. The House of Representatives on Wednesday overwhelmingly carried the bill 102 votes to 13. Once the legislation becomes law, the platforms would have one year to work out how they could implement the ban before penalties are enforced. The platforms complained that the law would be unworkable, and urged the Senate to delay the vote until at least June next year when a government-commissioned evaluation of age assurance technologies made its report on how young children could be excluded. Critics argue the government is attempting to convince parents it is protecting their children ahead of general elections due by May. The government hopes that voters will reward it for responding to parents' concerns about their children's addiction to social media. Some argue the legislation could cause more harm than it prevents. Criticisms include that the legislation was rushed through Parliament without adequate scrutiny, is ineffective, poses privacy risks for all users, and undermines parental authority to make decisions for their children. Opponents of the bill also argue the ban would isolate children, deprive them of the positive aspects of social media, drive them to the dark web, discourage children too young for social media to report harm and reduce incentives for platforms to improve online safety.Special Counsel Jack Smith on Monday moved to dismiss the federal cases against US President-elect Donald Trump -- including one for election subversion -- citing an official policy of not prosecuting a sitting president. Trump, 78, was accused of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election he lost to Joe Biden and mishandling classified documents after leaving the White House, but neither case ever came to trial. Smith, in a filing with the district judge in Washington presiding over the election case, said it should be dropped in light of the long-standing Justice Department policy of not indicting or prosecuting a sitting president. He cited the same reasoning in withdrawing his appeal of a ruling by a district judge, a Trump appointee, who dismissed the classified documents case earlier this year. Smith asked District Judge Tanya Chutkan to dismiss the election interference case "without prejudice" -- leaving open the possibility it could be revived after Trump leaves office four years from now. The special counsel paused the election interference case this month after Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the November 5 presidential election. "The Government's position on the merits of the defendant's prosecution has not changed," Smith said in the filing with Chutkan. "But the circumstances have." "It has long been the position of the Department of Justice that the United States Constitution forbids the federal indictment and subsequent criminal prosecution of a sitting President," Smith said. "As a result this prosecution must be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated." In a separate filing, Smith said he was withdrawing his appeal of the dismissal of the classified documents case against Trump but pursuing the case against his two co-defendants, Trump valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira. Trump, in a post on Truth Social, said the cases were "empty and lawless, and should never have been brought." "Over $100 Million Dollars of Taxpayer Dollars has been wasted in the Democrat Party's fight against their Political Opponent, ME," he said. "Nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before." Trump is accused of conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding -- the session of Congress called to certify Biden's win, which was violently attacked on January 6, 2021 by a mob of the then-president's supporters. Trump is also accused of seeking to disenfranchise US voters with his false claims that he won the 2020 election. The former and incoming president also faces two state cases -- in New York and Georgia. He was convicted in New York in May of 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels on the eve of the 2016 election to stop her from revealing an alleged 2006 sexual encounter. Judge Juan Merchan has postponed sentencing while he considers a request from Trump's lawyers that the conviction be thrown out in light of the Supreme Court ruling in July that an ex-president has broad immunity from prosecution. In Georgia, Trump faces racketeering charges over his efforts to subvert the 2020 election results in the southern state, but that case will likely be frozen while he is in office.

MBTA’s Red Line running at full speed through all stations for the first time in 20 years

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Russian state news agencies are reporting that ousted Syrian President Bashar Assad has arrived in Moscow with his family and given asylum. The agencies, Tass and RIA, cited an unidentified Kremlin source. The Associated Press was not immediately able to verify the reports but has contacted the Kremlin for comment. RIA also cited an anonymous Kremlin source that Moscow had received guarantees from Syrian insurgents of the security of Russian military bases and diplomatic posts in Syria. The report did not give further details. Assad reportedly left Syria early Sunday. Syrians have been pouring into streets echoing with celebratory gunfire after a stunning rebel advance reached the capital, ending the Assad family’s 50 years of iron rule . THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Syrians poured into streets echoing with celebratory gunfire on Sunday after a stunning rebel advance reached the capital, ending the Assad family's 50 years of iron rule but raising questions about the future of the country and the wider region. Joyful crowds gathered in squares in Damascus, waving the Syrian revolutionary flag in scenes that recalled the early days of the Arab Spring uprising, before a brutal crackdown and the rise of an insurgency plunged the country into a nearly 14-year civil war. Others gleefully ransacked the presidential palace and residence after President Bashar Assad and other top officials vanished, their whereabouts unknown. Russia, a close ally, said Assad left the country after negotiations with rebel groups and had given instructions to transfer power peacefully. Abu Mohammed al-Golani , a former al-Qaida commander who cut ties with the group years ago and says he embraces pluralism and religious tolerance, leads the biggest rebel faction and is poised to chart the country's future. In his first public appearance since fighters entered the Damascus suburbs Saturday, al-Golani visited the sprawling Umayyad Mosque and called Assad's fall “a victory to the Islamic nation.” Calling himself by his given name, Ahmad al-Sharaa, and not his nom de guerre, he told hundreds of people that Assad had made Syria “a farm for Iran’s greed.” The rebels face the daunting task of healing bitter divisions in a country ravaged by war and still split among armed factions. Turkey-backed opposition fighters are battling U.S.-allied Kurdish forces in the north, and the Islamic State group is still active in some remote areas. Syrian state television broadcast a rebel statement early Sunday saying Assad had been overthrown and all prisoners had been released. They called on people to preserve the institutions of “the free Syrian state.” The rebels later announced a curfew in Damascus from 4 p.m. to 5 a.m. The rebels said they freed people held at the notorious Saydnaya prison, where rights groups say thousands were tortured and killed . A video circulating online purported to show rebels breaking open cell doors and freeing dozens of female prisoners, many of whom appeared shocked. At least one small child was seen among them. “This happiness will not be completed until I can see my son out of prison and know where is he,” said one relative, Bassam Masr. "I have been searching for him for two hours. He has been detained for 13 years.” Rebel commander Anas Salkhadi later appeared on state TV and sought to reassure Syria's religious and ethnic minorities, saying: “Syria is for everyone, no exceptions. Syria is for Druze, Sunnis, Alawites, and all sects.” “We will not deal with people the way the Assad family did," he added. Celebrations in the capital Damascus residents prayed in mosques and celebrated in squares, calling, “God is great.” People chanted anti-Assad slogans and honked car horns. Teenage boys picked up weapons apparently discarded by security forces and fired into the air. Revelers filled Umayyad Square, where the Defense Ministry is located. Some waved the three-starred Syrian flag that predates the Assad government and was adopted by the revolutionaries. Elsewhere, many parts of the capital were empty and shops were closed. Soldiers and police left their posts and fled, and looters broke into the Defense Ministry. Videos showed families wandering the presidential palace, some carrying stacks of plates and other household items. “It’s like a dream. I need someone to wake me up," said opposition fighter Abu Laith, adding the rebels were welcomed in Damascus with “love.” At the Justice Ministry, where rebels stood guard, Judge Khitam Haddad said they were protecting documents from the chaos. Outside, some residents sought information about relatives who disappeared under Assad. The rebels “have felt the pain of the people,” said one woman, giving only her first name, Heba. She worried about possible revenge killings by the rebels, many of whom appeared to be underage. Syria’s al-Watan newspaper, which was historically pro-government, wrote: “We are facing a new page for Syria. We thank God for not shedding more blood.” It added that media workers should not be blamed for publishing past government statements, saying it “only carried out the instructions.” A statement from the Alawite sect that has formed the core of Assad's base called on young Syrians to be “calm, rational and prudent and not to be dragged into what tears apart the unity of our country.” The rebels mainly come from the Sunni Muslim majority in Syria, which also has sizable Druze, Christian and Kurdish communities. In Qamishli in the northeast, a Kurdish man slapped a statue of the late leader Hafez Assad with his shoe. Assad's whereabouts are unknown Syrian Prime Minister Mohammed Ghazi Jalali said the government was ready to “extend its hand” to the opposition and turn its functions over to a transitional government. A video shared on Syrian opposition media showed armed men escorting him from his office and to the Four Seasons hotel on Sunday. Rami Abdurrahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told The Associated Press that Assad, 59, took a flight early Sunday from Damascus. A senior diplomat from the United Arab Emirates, which had sought to rehabilitate Assad's image and has welcomed high-profile exiles in recent years, declined to comment on his whereabouts. Anwar Gargash said Assad's destination at this point is a “footnote in history,” comparing it to the long exile of German Kaiser Wilhelm II after World War I. Calls for an orderly transition The rebel advances since Nov. 27 were the largest in recent years, and saw the cities of Aleppo, Hama and Homs fall within days as the Syrian army melted away. Russia, Iran and Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group, which provided crucial support to Assad throughout the uprising, abandoned him as they reeled from other conflicts. The end of Assad’s rule was a major blow to Iran and its allies, already weakened by conflict with Israel . Iran, which had strongly backed him throughout the civil war, said Syrians should decide their future “without destructive, coercive, foreign intervention.” The Iranian Embassy in Damascus was ransacked after apparently having been abandoned. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meanwhile said Israeli troops had seized a buffer zone in the Golan Heights established in 1974, saying it was to protect Israeli residents after Syrian troops abandoned positions. Israel's military later warned residents of five southern Syria communities to stay home for their safety, and didn’t respond to questions. Israel captured the Golan in the 1967 Mideast war and later annexed it. The international community, except for the United States, views it as occupied, and the Arab League on Sunday condemned what it called Israel’s efforts to take advantage of Assad’s downfall occupy more territory. The rebels are led by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group, or HTS , which has its origins in al-Qaida and is considered a terrorist organization by the United States and the United Nations. Al-Golani, has sought to recast the group as a moderate and tolerant force. “Golani has made history and sparked hope among millions of Syrians," said Dareen Khalifa, a senior adviser with the International Crisis Group. "But he and the rebels now face a formidable challenge ahead.” The U.N.’s special envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen, called Saturday for urgent talks in Geneva to ensure an “orderly political transition.” The Gulf nation of Qatar, a key regional mediator, hosted an emergency meeting of foreign ministers and top officials from eight countries with interests in Syria late Saturday. They included Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia and Turkey. Majed al-Ansari, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, said they agreed on the need “to engage all parties on the ground," including the HTS, and that the main concern is “stability and safe transition.” ___ Sewell reported from Beirut.

Brazilian police indict former President Bolsonaro and aides over alleged 2022 coup attempt

I’ve built a portfolio of around 20 top UK shares inside a self-invested personal pension (SIPP). That seems the right amount for diversification purposes but what if I was only limited to five? Which ones would I save? The easiest option would be to hang on to my winners and sell my losers, but there’s an argument for doing the opposite. For example, shares in spirits giant have plunged but could stage a strong recovery once consumers feel better off. The flipside is that I’m worried about reports that younger people drink less. So which FTSE 100 stocks should I sell? On the other hand, shares in private equity specialist are up 64.17% over one year and 170.28% over two. But 3i is highly dependent on one single portfolio holding, European discount retailer , which distorts the figures. In practice, I’d take my loss on Diageo and profit on 3i (happily the latter far outweighs the former) and move on. There’s one stock I wouldn’t sell. Paper and packaging retailer (LSE: SWR) has given me a bumpy ride but things are looking up. I bought the Ireland-based company to benefit from a resurgence in e-commerce as the cost-of-living crisis eased and consumers started spending again. I didn’t know it was about to create the world’s largest cardboard box maker by merging with US operator WestRock. Markets decided the board had overpaid, and my shares slumped. But the benefits of the merger are starting to reveal themselves. Q3 results showed a net loss of $150m but that was mostly down to $500m of merger costs, while total net sales jumped by $2,915m to $7,671m. CEO Tony Smurfit said the tie-up should deliver benefits at least equal to his stated synergy target of $400m. I reckon the share price has further to go The Smurfit WestRock share price is up 23.51% over one month and 22.54% over one year, and I think there’s more to come. The group also gives me US exposure. I’d also hold on to my shares in , which I bought as a portfolio building block. I’m frustrated by accusations of motor finance mis-selling (why always Lloyds?) but don’t feel this is the time to sell. And I’d keep . Just a few weeks ago this was bombing along and giving me a 7% yield too. Now its shares have plunged due to fears that interest rates will stay higher for longer, keeping mortgage rates high and house prices down. I think it will recover, given time. Oil giant is my most recent share price stock purchase , despite the long-term threat of the energy transition. Plus I’d also keep wealth manager , which gives me . This means saying goodbye to , which may have peaked after a stellar run, consumer goods plodder , struggling miner and defence manufacturer . I wonder which I’d regret selling most? Given the state of today’s world, probably BAE. In reality, I’ll hang on to them all. Five stocks is too small for a balanced portfolio. I’ll continue to spread my risk with 20!

The digital token received a further boost as Trump fulfilled his campaign pledge to replace US Securities and Exchange Commission chair Gary Gensler, a move many crypto enthusiasts and top-level executives were looking forward to. Although Bitcoin exchange-traded funds were approved under Gensler's tenure, he spent much of his time as SEC chair clashing with and filing lawsuits against top digital asset companies, including Coinbase. According to the SEC press release published yesterday, Gensler will resign on January 20, 2025. The move is expected to make way for a deeper relationship between the SEC and the crypto industry as Trump's new administration works to create the first-ever White House post for overseeing crypto policies . The President-elect's social media platform, Truth Social, could be dipping its feet in crypto as Trump Media & Technology Group filed a trademark application on November 18 for TruthFi, a crypto payments processing platform. The application was accepted by the Office but has yet to be assigned to an examining attorney. The application highlighted multiple applications for TruthFi, such as crypto payments processing, financial asset management and custody services, and digital asset trading. Trump has embraced cryptocurrencies after initially rejecting them. During his campaign, he pledged to make America the "crypto capital of the planet" and develop a national crypto reserve when he takes Office in January. He is also expected to partner with regulators who are well-positioned to move the industry towards mass adoption while ensuring stringent security measures for investors and crypto exchanges. Trump's media company is also reportedly in talks with Bakkt to acquire the crypto trading platform through an all-share purchase. While Bakkt shares jumped over 154% in the past five days to close at $31.10 on November 21, the company issued a statement this week that "it is aware of the rumours" of a potential takeover but clarified that it is the "company's policy not to comment on market rumours or speculation." Sources highlighted that the Trump Media likely won't include Bakkt's crypto custody unit in the deal as it failed to gain popularity and incurred operating losses of $27,000 on revenues north of $328,000 in the three months through September 30. However, Bakkt is moving ahead with its plan to develop a crypto trading platform for institutional investors. Trump also has multiple crypto ventures, including the recently launched World Liberty Financial , which could offer financing to people rejected by traditional banks.
