What time does ‘Yellowstone’ come on tonight? How to watch season 5 part 2 new episode for freeLoose Women panellist Jane Moore called her new appointment to cleaning duties in the I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! jungle “ageist and sexist”. Sunday’s episode saw former boxing champion Barry McGuigan and McFly Danny star Jones appointed as the new leaders of the camp after a public vote, and reassigning the chores amongst the campmates was their first order of duty. However, tensions were raised in the camp after they put Moore, 62, and N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos, 36, on washing up. We need your consent to load this Social Media content. We use a number of different Social Media outlets to manage extra content that can set cookies on your device and collect data about your activity. After the appointment, Moore exclaimed and asked: “Is that because we’re women?” Former Irish athlete McGuigan denied their gender influenced their decision, saying: “We were looking at you for possible water, and I thought that you’re 62 years old, you’re a year younger than me.” Before he finished his point, Moore branded his decision “ageist and sexist”. Moore said she had asked Jones to not put her on cleaning just before they went off to decide, with the singer saying he had misheard her and thought she had wanted to be assigned to the chore.

BBC Radio 1 presenter Dean McCullough tried to lead his fellow campmates to jokingly chant “we stand with Jane”, with McGuigan telling him: “Don’t start that nonsense. We didn’t know that Jane was going to be upset.” Moore added: “I have emptied the dunny, tended the fire on my own solidly for nine days, and you’ve given me the one job I don’t want.” When she was asked what she would have liked to have done, she replied: “No, it doesn’t matter.” Singer Contostavlos later told the Bush Telegraph: “Slight rumble in the jungle. Not everyone was happy with that. I didn’t mind doing the dishes.” During dinner time, the contestants noted that the new camp leaders were looking dejected and when asked why McGuigan said: “We don’t like upsetting people, we genuinely don’t.” Moore reassured McGuigan that she was “only winding him up” but later when washing the dishes, she said: “Seems much like the 1950s.” I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! continues at 9pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX.Overcoming AI Risks, Workforce Challenges in Cybersecurity

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Dominic Zvada kicked a 21-yard field goal with 45 seconds left and Michigan stunned No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday, likely ending the Buckeyes ’ hopes of returning to the Big Ten title game. Late in the game, Kalel Mullings broke away for a 27-yard run, setting up the Wolverines (7-5, 5-4) at Ohio State’s 17-yard line with two minutes remaining. The drive stalled at the 3, and Zvada came on for the chip shot. Ohio State (10-2, 7-2, No. 2 CFP) got the ball back but couldn’t move it, with Will Howard throwing incomplete on fourth down to seal the Wolverines’ fourth straight win over their bitter rival. This loss might have been the toughest of those four for Ohio State because the Wolverines were unranked and were wrapping up a disappointing season. The Buckeyes were supposed to win, but records rarely mean much when these two teams meet. Ohio State needs No. 4 Penn State and No. 10 Indiana to lose later Saturday in order to make it into the Big Ten title game next week. No. 7 TENNESSEE 36, VANDERBILT 23 NASH.VILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Nico Iamaleava threw for 257 yards and four touchdowns rallying No. 7 Tennessee from a 14-point deficit within the first five minutes to rout in-state rival Vanderbilt. The Volunteers (10-2, 6-2 Southeastern Conference; No. 8 CFP) needed a big victory to impress the College Football Playoff committee enough to earn a home playoff game in December. They beat Vanderbilt (6-6, 3-5) for a sixth straight season. Better yet, they rebounded from a nightmare start giving up the first 14 points by scoring 29 straight points. They led 24-17 at halftime on Iamaleava’s first three TD passes. Junior Sherrill returned the opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown for Vanderbilt to stun a mostly orange crowd. Dylan Sampson fumbled on the Vols’ second play from scrimmage, and Sedrick Alexanader’s 4-yard TD run on a 26-yard drive put Vandy up 14-0 quickly. No. 16 SOUTH CAROLINA 17, No. 12 CLEMSON 14 CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — LaNorris Sellers’ 20-yard touchdown run with 1:08 to play gave No. 16 South Carolina its sixth straight win, a victory over 12th-ranked Clemson. Sellers, a freshman in his first season as starter, finished with 166 yards rushing and two scores as the Gamecocks (9-3, 4-1 SEC, No. 15 CFP) continued a run that has seen them defeat four ranked opponents this month. Clemson (9-3, 5-2 ACC, No. 12) drove to the South Carolina 18 with 16 seconds left — well within reach of a tying field goal — when Cade Klubnik was intercepted by Demetrius Knight Jr. The Gamecocks, who were 3-3 after losing at Alabama in mid-October, have given the College Football Playoff selection committee plenty to consider with their second-half charge. Much of the credit goes to the maturing Sellers, who has played with poise under most circumstances. He shook off an early fumble and a late interception in this one as South Carolina won its second straight at rival Clemson. No. 22 ILLINOIS 38, NORTHWESTERN 28 CHICAGO (AP) — Aidan Laughery rushed for three touchdowns and No. 22 Illinois topped Northwestern to reach nine victories for the first time since its 2007 Rose Bowl season. Pat Bryant dashed in to score off Luke Altmyer’s 43-yard pass early in the third quarter as Illinois (9-3, 6-3 Big Ten) struck for touchdowns just over 4 minutes apart early in the third quarter to open a 28-10 lead in what had been a tight game. Altmyer, who threw for 170 yards, had a TD himself on a keeper from the 1-yard line early in the second quarter. David Olano added a field goal in the fourth to cap Illinois’ scoring. Laughery, a sophomore running back, rushed for a career-best 172 yards and topped 100 for the first time. He entered with only one TD this season and two for his career. He had a career-long 64-yard run for a score early in the second half. Northwestern’s Devin Turner intercepted Altmyer twice, including for a 13-yard touchdown return late in the first quarter. Thomas Gordon caught Jack Lausch’s 15-yard TD pass with a minute left, then the Wildcats added a two-point conversion to complete the scoring. No. 25 ARMY 29, UTSA 24 WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) — Bryson Daily tied the American Athletic Conference record for single-season touchdowns and threw for a season-high 190 yards and a score to lift No. 25 Army to a 29-24 win over UTSA. Army (10-1) finished the regular season 8-0 in the AAC and earned the right to host the championship game on Friday. Daily rushed for 147 yards, his academy-record ninth straight 100-yard game, and two touchdowns. Casey Larkin sealed Army’s 10th victory of the season, picking off Owen McCown at the Black Knights’ 10 with 1:14 left. Daily scored his conference-tying 25th rushing touchdown, a 42-yard run on the second play following Matteson’s pick with 10:26 remaining in the game Army finished its regular-season home schedule with a perfect 6-0 record. UTSA fell to 0-6 away from the Alamodome.

Last week, four days short of the one-year anniversary of a multi-vehicle crash that claimed the life of one teammate and caused catastrophic injuries to two others, members of the Thompson Rivers University men’s volleyball team and their families were struggling with news that the man who caused the crash at a busy Kamloops, B.C., intersection would not face criminal charges. Two of Manitobans on that team, Winnipeg’s Ethan Olfert and Steinbach’s Hudson Rempel, head coach Pat Hennelly and the father of one of victims, a retired RCMP officer, have spoken out — dumbfounded by the Crown’s decision to ignore police recommendations for criminal charges and go with less serious traffic act charges. On Nov. 29, 2023, a truck approached an intersection near the TRU campus and struck several trees before landing on top of a vehicle carrying TRU players — Owyn McInnis, Riley Brinnen and Owen Waterhouse — who were making a lunch run before practice and waiting at a red light. Owen Waterhouse McInnis was killed while Brinnen and Waterhouse were hospitalized. Colval Shaquille Abbinett, 29, has been charged with one count of driving without due care and attention and another for driving without reasonable consideration. Both are offences under the B.C. Motor Vehicle Act. “I was preparing to be disappointed but when that (news) came out, it was like just another level of disappointment,” said Rempel this week from Kamloops where he is in his second season as a libero with the WolfPack. “It was just shocking how someone could get away with something so horrible and just get a slap on the wrist.” Olfert, who has retired from U Sports volleyball and moved home to attend the University of Winnipeg this fall, was similarly outraged. “Hearing that news last week, I think, just brought back a lot of the emotions that were there when the accident happened, which was tough,” said Olfert, who was Brinnen’s roommate at school. “I’m sure it was just as hard for those guys. It’s been so hard to move on from all of this... “It just doesn’t seem to add up to me. I think the consequences that Riley and Owen Waterhouse have faced from this and then obviously Owyn passing away, yeah, it really doesn’t seemed to add up.” The Crown told families in a Zoom call on Nov. 25 that they were only proceeding with the motor vehicle act charges against Abbinett. Owyn McInnis “It took a while for some of the families to wrap their head around what that was but for myself and others, it was instant disbelief, anger,” said Riley’s father Chris Brinnen from Coldstream, B.C. “Just knowing a bit of information we got about how this guy was driving on that day. “They can’t look at the consequences when it comes to finding a likelihood of conviction, but this is a guy that chose to speed in the middle the day, right beside university grounds on a busy roadway with businesses and a daycare right there, to the point where to avoid traffic, he’s up on the sidewalk taking out trees.” Riley Brinnen suffered a permanent spinal cord injury but has been able to return to school where he is serving as an assistant to head coach Hennelly. He uses a wheelchair but leg braces also permit him to use a four-wheel walker. Waterhouse, meanwhile, sustained a serious brain injury. Chris Brinnen, a 25-year RCMP veteran, is hoping that appeals to government representatives and additional media coverage will lead to criminal charges. Investigators concluded no alcohol, drugs or mechanical issues were involved. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. “The RCMP here forwarded three counts of criminal code charges — the dangerous operation causing bodily harm, two counts of that and dangerous operation causing death,” said Brinnen. “The Crown here just chose to disregard those recommendations and go with a traffic offence, when all they’re required to prove is that he was in the vehicle and that the way he was driving was, in quotes, a marked departure from how you and I would drive on that day.” Abbinett will appear in provincial court on Dec. 23. Riley Brinnen “The word is getting out, which is great,” said Hennelly. “We’re obviously trying to spread the word for letter campaigns and try to shine as much light on this, in the hopes that we can get a review of the case. “We believe, ultimately, the Crown counsel has to answer for this, and under freedom of information, (Chris Brinnen) applied to get the police report released. That doesn’t happen overnight, and then, obviously, some parts are gonna be redacted.” mike.sawatzky@freepress.mb.ca Mike Sawatzky is a sports reporter at the .
