slots game new AP News Summary at 2:47 p.m. ESTWEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — First it was Canada , then the Panama Canal . Now, Donald Trump again wants Greenland . The president-elect is renewing unsuccessful calls he made during his first term for the U.S. to buy Greenland from Denmark, adding to the list of allied countries with which he's picking fights even before taking office on Jan. 20. In a Sunday announcement naming his ambassador to Denmark, Trump wrote that, “For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity." Trump again having designs on Greenland comes after the president-elect suggested over the weekend that the U.S. could retake control of the Panama Canal if something isn't done to ease rising shipping costs required for using the waterway linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. He's also been suggesting that Canada become the 51st U.S. state and referred to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as “governor” of the “Great State of Canada.” Stephen Farnsworth, a political science professor at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia, said Trump tweaking friendly countries harkens back to an aggressive style he used during his days in business. “You ask something unreasonable and it’s more likely you can get something less unreasonable,” said Farnsworth, who is also author of the book “Presidential Communication and Character.” Greenland, the world’s largest island, sits between the Atlantic and Arctic oceans. It is 80% covered by an ice sheet and is home to a large U.S. military base. It gained home rule from Denmark in 1979 and its head of government, Múte Bourup Egede, suggested that Trump’s latest calls for U.S. control would be as meaningless as those made in his first term. “Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and will never be for sale,” he said in a statement. “We must not lose our years-long fight for freedom.” The Danish Prime Minister’s Office said in its own statement that the government is “looking forward to welcoming the new American ambassador. And the Government is looking forward to working with the new administration.” “In a complex security political situation as the one we currently experience, transatlantic cooperation is crucial,” the statement said. It noted that it had no comment on Greenland except for it “not being for sale, but open for cooperation.” Trump canceled a 2019 visit to Denmark after his offer to buy Greenland was rejected by Copenhagen, and ultimately came to nothing . He also suggested Sunday that the U.S. is getting “ripped off” at the Panama Canal. “If the principles, both moral and legal, of this magnanimous gesture of giving are not followed, then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to the United States of America, in full, quickly and without question,” he said. Panama President José Raúl Mulino responded in a video that “every square meter of the canal belongs to Panama and will continue to,” but Trump fired back on his social media site, “We’ll see about that!” The president-elect also posted a picture of a U.S. flag planted in the canal zone under the phrase, “Welcome to the United States Canal!” The United States built the canal in the early 1900s but relinquished control to Panama on Dec. 31, 1999, under a treaty signed in 1977 by President Jimmy Carter . The canal depends on reservoirs that were hit by 2023 droughts that forced it to substantially reduce the number of daily slots for crossing ships. With fewer ships, administrators also increased the fees that shippers are charged to reserve slots to use the canal. The Greenland and Panama flareups followed Trump recently posting that “Canadians want Canada to become the 51st State" and offering an image of himself superimposed on a mountaintop surveying surrounding territory next to a Canadian flag. Trudeau suggested that Trump was joking about annexing his country, but the pair met recently at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida to discuss Trump's threats to impose a 25% tariff on all Canadian goods. “Canada is not going to become part of the United States, but Trump’s comments are more about leveraging what he says to get concessions from Canada by putting Canada off balance, particularly given the precarious current political environment in Canada,” Farnsworth said. “Maybe claim a win on trade concessions, a tighter border or other things.” He said the situation is similar with Greenland. “What Trump wants is a win," Farnsworth said. "And even if the American flag doesn’t raise over Greenland, Europeans may be more willing to say yes to something else because of the pressure.” Associated Press writers Gary Fields in Washington and Geir Moulson in Berlin contributed to this report.

AMHERST – The UMass men’s soccer team took care of business during its NCAA tournament first-round game against Evansville on Thursday. The Minutemen notched a 2-1 victory on a rain-soaked Rudd Field. Alec Hughes and Andrew Ortiz netted goals for UMass (11-3-5) while goalkeeper Alex Geczy turned aside two of the Aces’ three shots on goal. The Minutemen led 2-0 with about 30 minutes left to play, but Evansville cut their lead in half with a strike at 70:52. UMass fought off the Aces’ late attack, which included a corner-kick with a minute to go, to advance to the second round of the NCAA tournament. The club will travel to play at No. 6 Penn on Sunday at 5 p.m. for a spot in the Sweet 16. “I'm happy and relieved,” Minutemen head coach Fran O’Leary said. “We played a very good team, a really well-coached team. All credit to Evansville. We followed them, they came back against really good teams and we talked about it at halftime that they're a resilient, well-coached group and they were going to come back at us.” Evansville won the Missouri Valley Conference title to reach the NCAA Tournament. The Aces beat Bowling Green, 3-2 in overtime in the MVC championship. The Minutemen scored first in Thursday’s game on a perfectly-placed shot from Hughes on a free kick at 20:17. Oliver Akintade drew the chance on an aggressive rush to the Evansville net, but was taken down just outside the box on the left side, about 10 yards from the end line. Article continues after... Cross|Word Flipart Typeshift SpellTower Really Bad Chess Hughes proceeded to bend the ball into the top right corner on a rocket shot Aces goalie Michal Mroz had no chance on. Hughes’ tally counted as the graduate student’s 15th of the season. “Alec will always score goals, but what impressed me today was his attitude from the beginning,” O’Leary said. “His work ethic, his mentality was superb. You could see he wanted to carry the team today and that's an attitude we'll need to take into the next game. Alec will always score goals, but today the level of physicality and commitment he played with was second to none.” The Minutemen poured the pressure on the rest of the half and could have added a couple more goals if not for Mroz’s stellar play (nine total saves) in the Aces net. The hosts finished the 45-minute frame with a 11-3 edge in shots. Evansville came out desperate in the second half, yet it was UMass that scored the eventual game-winner on Ortiz’s fifth tally of the season at 59:19. Akintade was involved once again, this time setting up Ortiz with a cross pass after maneuvering around a handful of Aces defenders. "He's a very good player. He's a very, very good player,” O’Leary said of Akintade. “We were fortunate to get him from a Division 3 program, there's a lot of very good players playing Division 3 college soccer. He was superb today. He won the free-kick for the first goal and then he obviously got an assist on the second so big contributions from him today.” Akintade starred for Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Mich. for four years before transferring to UMass this fall. With time ticking away in their season, the Aces controlled the play the remainder of the game, which translated into Samuel Awusu’s goal to make it 2-1. Awusu’s shot changed direction off a Minuteman defender and spun sideways off the far-post and into the net. Evansville followed with five of the contest’s final eight shots, but couldn’t convert as UMass picked up its first win in the NCAA tournament since 2007. “[Hughes’] goal was a terrific individual effort and [Akintade] carved through them and Ortiz made a late run for a cutback and two terrific goals,” O’Leary said. “We held on at the end and credit to them, they kept coming at us. The teams in the NCAA [tourney] are good teams and they proved it today, but I'd like to think that we proved we're a good team too."First 12-team CFP set: Oregon seeded No. 1, SMU edges Alabama for final spot

US President-elect Donald Trump says on his first day in office he will pardon rioters involved in the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack, further building expectations for a broad granting of clemency. or signup to continue reading "I'm going to be acting very quickly, first day," Trump said on NBC News' Meet the Press with Kristen Welker on Sunday when asked when he planned to pardon his supporters who were charged in the attack aimed at overturning his 2020 election defeat. Trump told Welker there could be "some exceptions" to his pardons if the individuals had acted "radical" or "crazy" during the assault, which left more than 140 police officers injured and led to several deaths. But Trump described the prosecutions of his supporters as inherently corrupt and did not rule out pardoning the more than 900 defendants who had already pleaded guilty, including those accused of acting violently in the attack. "I'm going to look at everything. We're going to look at individual cases," Trump said. The comments - Trump's most detailed on the issue of pardons since he defeated Vice President Kamala Harris - will likely add to already high expectations for broad action once Trump is sworn in to office on January 20. "He continues to put out the public message closer and closer to what the J6 community is asking for, which is clemency for all of the January 6ers," Suzzanne Monk, a longtime advocate for defendants charged in the riot, told Reuters. Hopes among January 6 defendants and their supporters for broad-based clemency have been growing over the past week after President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter, marking a reversal from his pledge not to interfere with his son's criminal cases. Biden said Hunter deserved a pardon because he was the victim of political persecution, an argument Trump will likely use to justify mass pardons. Some Biden critics said his decision would lessen the political cost for Trump. In what has been billed as America's largest-ever criminal investigation, at least 1572 defendants have been charged in the January 6 attack, with crimes ranging from unlawfully entering restricted grounds to seditious conspiracy and violent assault. More than 1251 have been convicted or pleaded guilty and 645 have been sentenced to prison, with punishments ranging from a few days to 22 years, according to the latest data from the Justice Department.

Unai Emery knows Champions League top-eight spot is possible for Aston VillaMunicipalities are the most on the ground level of government that can effectively intervene in the issues of top importance to Canadians. A survey conducted by Abacus Data on behalf of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) found that municipalities are also the most trusted level of government. And yet they are bound by the fiscal regime of upper levels of government. Of those surveyed, housing affordability was the biggest concern at 44 per cent, followed by the quality of roads and highways at 30 per cent, and traffic congestion at 29 per cent. Homelessness and crime in the community were tied at 27 per cent. Canadians were also concerned with crime, aging municipal infrastructure, and improving the quality of municipal services, like transit and recreation, as communities grow. “Life is too hard for too many Canadians in too many communities,” FCM’s new president Rebecca Bligh, a Vancouver City Councillor, said in a press release. “Whether you live in a rural or urban community, the reality is the same: bills are harder to pay, feeling of insecurity is growing, transportation is inadequate, and homelessness is commonplace. It’s time to fix those issues for good.” But measures taken by the federal and provincial governments aimed at making life easier for Canadians have done very little to support those struggling the most. In Ontario, and municipal housing targets have yet to spur any true growth of affordable homes for Ontarians. Conservative leaders in Nova Scotia and Alberta have also been targeted for a failure to address the growing housing crisis. On the federal stage, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently announced a over the holiday period. But the FCM argues that short-term measures are not enough to support growing populations. FCM is proposing the creation of a new Municipal Growth Framework that would see the three levels of government negotiate a more equitable sharing of existing taxes. The new agreement, the FCM states, would enable municipalities to make residents’ lives more affordable, infrastructure more reliable and your community safer. It is asking the federal government to commit to this negotiation within the 2024-25 budget cycle. “Should Ottawa turn a deaf ear to this request, municipalities will be unable to fix today’s problems with the current toolset,” a press release from FCM states. “In the lead up to the next federal election, all political parties must remember that municipalities are fighting for Canadians and that it is only through collaboration amongst all orders of government that we can achieve lasting benefits.”

RIYADH: Ahead of the International Conference on Conjoined Twins held in Riyadh, Saudi aid agency KSrelief Supervisor-General Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah hosted a media roundtable on Saturday to discuss the goals and expectations of the two-day conference that concludes on Nov. 25. Recalling the inspiration behind the Saudi Conjoined Twins Program, Al-Rabeeah explained that in 1990, amid the Second Gulf War, a set of Sudanese conjoined twins, Samah and Heba, were seeking financial support from King Fahd to get treatment abroad. King Fahd brought the issue to Al-Rabeeah’s team at the time at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, and after months of tests and deliberations, they completed the first successful conjoined twins separation surgery in the Kingdom. The operation took 18 and a half hours. “We started to invest in the nationalization of the medical team until ... all specialties were from Saudi Arabia,” Al-Rabeeah said. “Today we have seen 143 sets over 34 years. We have separated 61 sets with 100 percent success ... and we have 7 sets waiting to be separated.” King Abdullah Specialized Children’s Hospital now has the only known conjoined twins operating room. King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman moved this program under KSrelief to support low-income families and families from conflict zones. “Humanity has no politics, no boundaries, no religion, and no color,” said Al-Rabeeah. The conference will cover a range of topics, including the candidacy process, antenatal and post-natal care, cardiac conditions, ethical considerations, reconstruction, and 3D imaging. Al-Rabeeah also said the conference is set to discuss and sign several UN agreements related to children, including on conjoined twins, polio vaccination in Afghanistan, artificial limbs, infectious diseases in children, and the children of Gaza. He also spoke about the importance of combining medical knowledge in the Gulf and working together to create specialized centers across the region for different matters, to make operations more cost-effective and advanced. “Science is not owned, it is for everybody,” the Saudi aid agency chief said. On the technological developments that are optimizing this procedure, Al-Rabeeah mentioned the use of argon lasers, ultrasonic knives, new electric coatings to avoid bleeding, less sensitive prosthetics, and, most importantly, early diagnosis. Al-Rabeeah said that the greatest research in this program has been done on early detection of conjoined twins in the womb. They are now capable of detecting conjoined twins sometimes at just eight to 10 weeks. Al-Rabeeah’s most crucial piece of advice is urging women to start prenatal care early. The importance of psychological care for both the patients and the families was also discussed. Al-Rabeeah pointed out what is referred to as “separation trauma” that twins endure when learning how to adjust to their bodies after having been connected all their lives. “The twins, they have pain, they have suffered. I have seen two kinds of tears in my life. We all know about the tears of despair, the tears of pain. But with conjoined twins, I have seen clearly the tears of happiness and joy. “When I come out of the operating room, going in with one bed, and coming out with two beds ... this is the best moment in my life.”Israel confirms it killed Hamas leader Haniyeh in TehranPM inaugurates Arabic AI initiative Fanar
