Calls for government to legalise 'natural Valium' after King's encounter with ceremonial calming drink during trip to Samoa By PADRAIC FLANAGAN Published: 17:47 EST, 30 November 2024 | Updated: 17:54 EST, 30 November 2024 e-mail View comments Campaigners are calling on the Government to legalise a substance dubbed nature’s Valium after it apparently won a royal seal of approval. King Charles was seen sipping ceremonial drink kava – which is said to induce a calm, euphoric state – during his visit to Samoa in October, though it is banned in the UK. The substance was outlawed in 2003 due to links to around 30 cases of liver damage in Europe, including one death. It is also banned or restricted in Australia, Canada , Germany , Japan and Switzerland. But Dr Simon Geller, from the Kava Coalition, says it is time for the UK to ‘take the lead’ in reinstating the drink for its health benefits. He said: ‘If it’s safe enough for the King, isn’t it time to reconsider its prohibition for everyone else?’ Made from the roots of the kava plant, it is drunk in the South Seas for medicinal, political and cultural purposes. It is also used to treat stress, anxiety and insomnia.

You’re political hustler – Wike replies UgochinyereSocceroos striker Kusini Yengi is awaiting scan results after missing Portsmouth’s 2-2 draw with Swansea in the Championship with a knee injury. Get all the latest football news, highlights and analysis delivered straight to your inbox with Fox Sports Sportmail. Sign up now!!! Portsmouth claim Yengi suffered the injury while on international duty with Australia over the last fortnight. “He picked up an injury during the game when Australia played Bahrain,” Portsmouth manager John Mousinho said prior to his sides latest outing. It’s unclear at this stage how bad the injury is or how long Yengi will be sidelined for. The revelation comes as a slight shock given the 25-year-old played the entirety of the contest in Riffa and scored both goals, as it finished 2-2. Mousinho said Yengi picked up the injury “just before half-time.” “His knee was slightly swollen,” Mousinho added. “He was scanned on Friday afternoon. So, we’re just awaiting the final scan results and for him to see a specialist. “With knees, ankles and hips we’re always really wary.” It has been a stop-start season for the forward. He missed Pompey’s first two matches of the Championship campaign with a groin injury before being sidelined just two games into his comeback for a further five fixtures with the same complaint. Yengi had just come off a run of six games in four weeks prior to linking up with the Socceroos in Melbourne. He came on as a late substitute in a scoreless draw with Saudi Arabia in the Victorian capital before the side flew out to Bahrain. “Any injury is frustrating for us,” Mousinho said. “People do pick up injuries on international breaks. It’s probably one of the reasons why certain players don’t necessarily want to go on international duty. “We’re not one of those clubs. I want players to go away and play and represent their countries and I think it’s a really proud moment for anybody connected with Portsmouth when they do that. “It does come with a slight risk and unfortunately (Kusini) has ended up picking up an injury.” Any absence isn’t of immediate concern for the Socceroos. Tony Popovic’s side isn’t back in action until they face Indonesia and China in two must-win World Cup qualifiers in March. While Yengi has made a bright start to life for the national team, scoring six goals in 11 games, the interrupted nature of his season has impacted his output for Portsmouth. He’s yet to find the back of the net in the Championship after scoring 13-goals in 31 appearances in all competitions last season, while they were in League One, following a move from the Western Sydney Wanderers in the A-League.
Barcelona loses at home for the first time this season
Dilraj, Kujur, Kushwaha run riot as India hammer Chinese Taipei 16-0 to make Jr Asia Cup semisCOLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State saved its best fight for last. Unfortunately for all that is Scarlet and Gray, when the Buckeyes finally started throwing punches -- or something close to them -- time had expired here Saturday afternoon. On the game. Perhaps on the season. The resulting postgame melee between Ohio State and Michigan laid bare the worst parts of one of the game's best rivalries. Several skirmishes broke out on the field among players following Michigan's 13-10 win after some Wolverines players attempted to plant two of the team's flags at midfield. In what was their strongest display of male testosterone of the day, Ohio State finally defended their field -- as the stands were emptying out, as the boos were raining down. As a fourth straight loss to the Team Up North began to sink in. And fester. "We're going to win in your house, and we're going to plant the flag," Michigan quarterback Davis Warren said afterward. "You should have done something about it." All of it came after four years of planning for this moment, when all things Harbaugh, Stalions and Go Blue were going to be backhanded into the Olentangy River in one big payback that was going to make all right with the Ohio State universe again. The line opened with Ohio State favored by 23.5 points , the biggest in the history of the series. Ohio State fielded the best roster money could buy, $20 million of it, for this purpose. To pound Michigan. And then the Buckeyes did what they absolutely couldn't, shouldn't do. They came out flat. That's the best way to explain how a team whose only blemish this season was a one-point loss to Oregon could stink this much. All it was going to take for a Big Ten Championship Game rematch with the Ducks was a comfortable win over the Wolverines. Saturday was supposed to be a pit stop for Ohio State on its way to Indy. Instead, Buckeye Nation needed a barf bag. Instead, Ohio State didn't score in the second half. Not only that, it didn't have so much as a first down in the game's final 20 minutes. A Michigan team that couldn't pass (128th nationally) didn't really have to. The Wolverines rammed it up the gut 11 straight running plays for the game-winning field goal with 45 seconds left. The score was reminiscent of those epic slugfests in the Ten-Year War: Bo and Woody. Except this one could have, at times, been fought with those foam noodles you hit each other with in the pool. Each quarterback threw a pair of interceptions. You can understand Michigan's play-calling being conservative. It didn't have the firepower to begin with. But Ohio State looked like it was trying to run out the clock from the beginning. There were too many runs into the middle of the line. Next to no imagination. The boos from 106,000 fans began cascading down in the second half. That from an adoring crowd following the nation's No. 2-ranked team. Yeah, that's how much the Buckeyes stunk. "They tried to look at us [before the game]," said Michigan defensive back Makari Paige , who had one of those interceptions. "They tried to stare us down. We knew in our head they really didn't want to come out here and play us." Adding obscurity to insult, the nation's No. 2 team was beaten by a transfer kicker from Troy ( Dominic Zvada ) and Warren, a former walk-on. Zvada is actually one of the nation's better kickers, a two-time Lou Groza Award finalist. It's just that the Buckeyes didn't figure he'd figure in the outcome. Zvada's 54-yarder in the first half made him 7-for-7 from 50-plus this season. And while all this Ohio State angst is going around, Ryan Day may want to check his back too. "As you know," the coach told reporters, "this is not easy to accept." Ohio State quarterback Will Howard -- he of the two crippling interceptions -- was asked where on the list of takeaways was the fact the Buckeyes, 10-2, are still likely in the College Football Playoff. "Very low," he said. There was some ugly history here. In 2017, Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield took a victory lap with the team flag and attempted to plant it at midfield following a big OU win here. He later apologized. Ohio State players were seconds into singing the school song "Carmen Ohio" Saturday when they noticed the Michigan flags waving near midfield. "They've got their f****** flag," Ohio State linebacker Jack Sawyer said. Seconds later, Michigan fullback Max Bredeson got pepper-sprayed directly in the face by a police officer. "I'm all right. I'm right," Bredeson said with tears running down his face from the pepper spray. "I'll kill you for real," one unidentified Michigan player shouted at an opponent. "I've never lost [to Ohio State]," defensive lineman Mason Graham yelled to taunting fans as he ran up a ramp to the visitors' locker room. Full Postgame Video from Columbus 〽️ #GoBlue pic.twitter.com/YE9vSPDmAH Four in a row adds to the depths of Day's situation. He is now 1-4 against Michigan and looked a bit shell-shocked afterward. "I have to take the ownership," Day said. The reaction will be a lot more profound than just ownership in the coming days. For the fourth year in a row, a team other than Ohio State is going to win the Big Ten. "We're going to regroup and go into the playoffs and make a run," Howard said, almost trying to convince himself. So at least there was that. Ohio State lost to a team that was about to become the first defending national champion to lose at least six games the following year since 1943. That might still happen in Michigan's bowl game, but the sweet memories of Saturday will prevail. The violent aftermath was reminiscent of the 2002 Michigan-Ohio State game here, when police pepper-sprayed fans who were trying to tear down goalposts following that year's win that clinched a spot in the BCS Championship Gam, which Ohio State won. And it's never a good sign when a statement from Ohio State Police trumps postgame comments by players and coaches. Following the game, officers from multiple law enforcement agencies assisted in breaking up an on-field altercation. During the scuffle, multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray. OSUPD is the lead agency for games & will continue to investigate. "Obviously, some things happened, and we're still trying to sort through and figure out what happened," Eric Whiteside, Ohio State Police Department deputy chief, told CBS Sports. In keeping with the spirit of things, the game ended with a Michigan player being flagged for "simulating shooting a gun" while celebrating the win. Things devolved from there, at least for Ohio State. MORE: Ohio State still in great College Football Playoff position
Trump threatens 100% tariff on the BRIC bloc of nations if they act to undermine US dollar WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump is threatening 100% tariffs against a bloc of nine nations if they act to undermine the U.S. dollar. His threat was directed at countries in the so-called BRIC alliance, which consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates.. Trump says he wants a commitment from the bloc that it will not create a new currency or otherwise try to undermine the U.S. dollar. Emboldened 'manosphere' accelerates threats and demeaning language toward women after US election CHICAGO (AP) — An emboldened fringe of right-wing “manosphere” influencers has seized on Donald Trump’s presidential win to justify and amplify misogynistic derision and threats online. Many have appropriated a 1960s abortion rights rallying cry, declaring “Your body, my choice,” and have been using it publicly on college campuses and even in public schools. While none of the current online rhetoric is being amplified by Trump, experts say many young men see the former president’s return to the White House as vindication of their views on women. For many women, the words are a worrying sign of what might lie ahead as some men perceive the election results as a rebuke of reproductive rights and women’s rights. Young men swung to the right for Trump after a campaign dominated by masculine appeals WASHINGTON (AP) — Young men shifted toward Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election in a change from recent years, when most young male voters backed the Democratic candidate. Young white men already supported him in 2020 and shifted slightly farther right this time. Young Latino men were about evenly split between the two candidates. Most young Black men backed Democrat Kamala Harris, though about a third supported Trump. Trump's campaign for the Oval Office was dominated by appeals to traditional masculinity, conveyed in appearances in nontraditional media. His campaign believed that tactic would boost his support among men who otherwise do not pay attention to political media. After entering Aleppo, Syrian insurgents advance to a nearby province. Assad says he'll defeat them BEIRUT (AP) — Thousands of Syrian insurgents have taken over most of Aleppo, establishing positions in the country’s largest city and controlling its airport before expanding their shock offensive to a nearby province. They faced little to no resistance from government troops Saturday, according to fighters and activists. Thousands of fighters also moved on, facing almost no defense from government forces. They seized towns and villages in northern Hama, a province where they had a presence before being expelled by government troops in 2016. They claimed to have entered the city of Hama. In his first public comments since the offensive began, President Bashar Assad said Syria will continue to “defend its stability and territorial integrity against terrorists and their supporters.” An Israeli strike in Gaza kills World Central Kitchen workers. Israel says 1 was an Oct. 7 attacker DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — An Israeli airstrike on a car in the Gaza Strip killed five people including employees of World Central Kitchen. The charity says it is “urgently seeking more details” Saturday after Israel’s military said it targeted a World Central Kitchen worker who had been part of the Hamas attack that sparked the war. The charity says it is “heartbroken” and adds that it had no knowledge anyone in the car had alleged ties to the Oct. 7, 2023 attack. It says it is pausing operations in Gaza. It paused them earlier this year after an Israeli strike killed seven of its workers. Also on Saturday, Hamas released a new hostage video of Israeli-American Edan Alexander. Lebanese fishermen hope ceasefire with Israel means normal life returning TYRE, Lebanon (AP) — The ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah is bringing hope for normality back to many in southern Lebanon. That includes fishermen who’ve long launched their single-engine wooden boats into the Mediterranean at dawn. For months, Israel imposed a siege that kept hundreds of fishermen at this ancient Phoenician port ashore. That upended their lives and dealt the industry a major blow. The port siege also cut people off from key ingredients for traditional Lebanese dishes. As war devastated their country, the loss of fish damaged a deep association with home. Now, the possibility of renewed fishing is helping fuel hope. Heavy snow blankets parts of the US during busy holiday travel weekend BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The first big snowfall of the season is blanketing towns in upstate New York and northwestern Pennsylvania as the hectic holiday travel and shopping weekend winds down. Numbing cold and heavy snow could persist into next week and cause hazards in the Great Lakes, Plains and Midwest regions. A state of emergency has been declared for parts of New York, making it problematic for Thanksgiving travelers. This week’s blast of frigid Arctic air also brought bitterly cold temperatures of 10 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit below average to the Northern Plains. Cold air is expected to move over the eastern third of the U.S. by Monday with temperatures about 10 degrees below average. Southwest Airlines says it is ending cabin service earlier to reduce chance of injury Southwest Airlines is ending its cabin service earlier starting next month. Beginning on Dec. 4, a company spokesperson says flight attendants will begin preparing the cabin for landing at an altitude of 18,000 feet instead of 10,000 feet. The company says it's making the changes to reduce the risk of in-flight turbulence injuries. For passengers, that means they will need to return their seats to an upright position or do other pre-landing procedures earlier than before. While turbulence-related fatalities are quite rare, injuries have piled up over the years. What to know about the plastic pollution crisis as treaty talks conclude in South Korea BUSAN, South Korea (AP) — The world’s nations will wrap up negotiating a treaty this weekend to address the global crisis of plastic pollution. The world produces more than 400 million tons of new plastic yearly. That could climb about 70% by 2040 without policy changes. China was by far the biggest exporter of plastic products in 2023, followed by Germany and the United States. Less than 10% of plastics are recycled. Many plastics are used for packaging. Every day, the equivalent of 2,000 garbage trucks full of plastic are dumped into the world’s oceans, rivers and lakes. Romania's parliamentary vote risks being overshadowed by presidential race chaos BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Romanians are preparing to go to the polls in a parliamentary vote that will determine a new government and prime minister to lead the European Union and NATO member country. However, Sunday's vote is sandwiched between a two-round presidential race and is overshadowed by controversies and chaos following the outcome of the first vote. While the president has significant decision-making powers in areas such as national security and foreign policy, the prime minister is the head of the nation’s government. Sunday’s vote will determine the formation of the country’s 466-seat legislature.Dodgers have held 'preliminary' extension talks with former Gold Glove winner
SUNRISE, Fla.

Aleksander Barkov, Sam Bennett, Aaron Ekblad, Evan Rodrigues and Adam Boqvist also scored for Florida, which won 6-3 at Carolina on Friday. The Panthers have won three straight — that streak following a stretch of six losses in seven games for the Stanley Cup champions. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content.

Protesters cut off traffic on main avenues in the city center, holding up homemade signs in Spanish reading "Fewer apartments for investing and more homes for living" and "The people without homes uphold their rights." The lack of affordable housing has become one of the leading concerns for the southern European Union country, the reports, mirroring the housing crunch in many parts of the world, including the US. Organizers said that over 100,000 turned out, while police estimated some 22,000 marched. Either way, the throngs of people clogging the streets recalled the massive separatist rallies at the height of the previous decade's Catalan independence movement. Now, social concerns led by housing have displaced political crusades. That is because the average rent for Spain has doubled in past 10 years. The price per square meter has risen from $7.50 US in 2014 to about $13.50 this year, according to the real estate website . The growth is even more acute in cities like Barcelona and Madrid. Incomes have failed to keep up, especially for younger people in a country with chronically high unemployment, per the AP. Samuel Saintot said he is "frustrated and scared" after being told by the owners of the apartment he has rented for 15 years in Barcelona's city center that he must vacate the premises. The protester suspects the owners want him out so they can renovate it and boost the price. Despite looking outside Barcelona, he can't find anything. "And I consider myself a very fortunate person, because I earn a decent salary," he said. "And even in my case, I may be forced to leave town." A report by the Bank of Spain indicates that nearly 40% of Spaniards who rent dedicate an average of 40% of their income to paying rent and utilities, compared to the European Union average of 27%. "We are talking about a housing emergency. It means people having many difficulties both in accessing and staying in their homes," said Ignasi Martí, a professor at Esade business school and head of its Dignified Housing Observatory.LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hannah Hidalgo scored 24 points and No. 6 Notre Dame defeated JuJu Watkins and third-ranked Southern California 74-61 on Saturday in a marquee matchup on the West Coast. Watkins and the Trojans (4-1) fell behind early and were down 21 points in the fourth quarter. She had 24 points, six rebounds and five assists. Hidalgo came out shooting well, hitting 5 of 8 from the floor in the first quarter and had 16 points at the break. She added six rebounds and eight assists. Hidalgo's backcourt mate, Olivia Miles, added 20 points, eight rebounds and seven assists for the Fighting Irish (5-0). Even though Hidalgo outshone her, Watkins’ imprint was all over the game. A documentary about her life aired on NBC leading into the nationally televised game. A buzz arose when Snoop Dogg walked in shortly before tipoff wearing a jacket in USC colors with Watkins' name and number on the front and back. Her sister, Mali, sang the national anthem. Notre Dame: The Irish struck quickly, racing to a 20-10 lead in the opening quarter. Even after cooling off a bit, they never trailed and stayed poised when the Trojans got within three in the second and third quarters. USC: The Trojans were without starting guard Kennedy Smith, whose defense on Hidalgo would have proven valuable. It was announced shortly before tipoff that she had a surgical procedure and will return at some point this season. The Trojans got within three points three times but the Irish remained poised and never gave up the lead. Notre Dame's defense forced the Trojans into 21 turnovers, which led to 22 points for the Irish. Watkins, Kaleigh Heckel and Talia von Oelhoffen had five each. USC was just 1 of 13 from 3-point range Notre Dame plays TCU on Nov. 29 in the Cayman Islands Classic. USC plays Seton Hall in the Women's Acrisure Holiday Invitational on Nov. 27 in Palm Desert, California. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here.
