Japanese figure skaters Mone Chiba and Shun Sato topped the standings after shining in the short programme at the Grand Prix Cup of China in Chongqing on Friday. Chiba, 19, skating to Donna Summer's "Last Dance", scored 70.86 to edge 0.02 points ahead of Amber Glenn of the United States. Rion Sumiyoshi, also of Japan, was less than half a point behind in third place. In the men's event, 20-year-old Sato delivered an almost flawless routine on the way to a season's best 98.75. That gave him a five-point lead over Mikhail Shaidorov of Kazakhstan ahead of Saturday's free skate. France's Adam Siao Him Fa, reigning champion in Chongqing, came in third with 91.22, after the World bronze medalist landed his signature backflip but fell attempting a quadruple jump. China's Jin Boyang -- a two-time World bronze medallist -- sits sixth after scoring 83.66 in front of his home crowd. In ice dance, European champions and real-life Italian couple Charlene Guignard and Marco Fabbri were first, leading by three points ahead of Canadians Marjorie Lajoie and Zachary Lagha, followed by Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko of the US in third. Buoyed by their 84.84 points ahead of Saturday's free skate program, the Italian duo look set to improve on their second place at the French Grand Prix earlier in November. In the pairs event, Sara Conti and Niccolo Macii -- also of Italy -- put on a dazzling display to take first place. They are ahead of Germany's Minerva Fabienne Hase and Nikita Volodin, with Lia Pereira and Trennt Michaud of Canada at third. The German pair were on course for a massive score before Volodin inexplicably fell during a step sequence. The Cup of China is the final Grand Prix in the 2024/25 series, representing the last chance for skaters to qualify for December's final in Grenoble.NEW YORK — The Giants may have to host the Saints on Sunday without their top offensive weapon, too.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has openly acknowledged that he masterminded the removal of Uche Secondus as the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Wike stated on Thursday that Secondus wanted his cousin, Tele Ikuru , to be the next Governor of Rivers State against the will of the people and didn’t support the candidacy of Siminalayi Fubara . The FCT Minister said Secondus was removed because of his actions. Naija News reports Wike made the disclosure while speaking at the Ahoada East and Ahoada West PDP end-of-year thanksgiving held in Ochigba, Ahoada East Local Government Area of Rivers State. He also berated former Rivers State Governor, Celestine Omehia , and Governor Fubara over recent comments during the commissioning of projects in Rivers State. Responding to Secondus, who allegedly labelled him an “enemy of the state,” Wike questioned the newfound alliance of the former PDP Chairman with Governor Fubara. “Secondus wanted his cousin, Tele Ikuru, to be governor. He was against Fubara. Today, he claims to be the governor’s friend while calling me an enemy. The records are clear; I removed Secondus as PDP chairman because of his actions, ” Wike said. Reacting to Omehia’s remarks during the project inauguration, Wike said, “I overheard one, Celestine Omehia, saying they should ask me what I have done for Rivers State as Minister. Let me educate him: I am not a minister of Rivers State; I am the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. “When I was Minister of Education, I brought a Faculty of Law to the University of Port Harcourt, provided grants to Ken Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic, and renovated Federal Government College, Port Harcourt, among others. These are tangible contributions he should focus on, not unfounded allegations.” The former Rivers State Governor also claimed he has done more for the state than any other Governor in the history of the state. “There is no governor in Rivers’ history that has attracted more political appointments than me. By the grace of Mr. President, Rivers State has the highest number of appointees in Tinubu’s government,” Wike declared. He added that most completed projects, including the Ring Road, were initiated during his tenure as governor. “I awarded and paid 50% for the projects being commissioned today. The essence was to ensure continuity, but I’m disappointed to see some projects cancelled,” Wike added.

Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Friday asserted that satellite spectrum allocation will not follow a first-come-first-serve basis, while also addressing the recent controversy over personal remarks made against him in Parliament by an Opposition MP. Also Read : Union Ministers Jyotiraditya Scindia, Sukanta Majumdar walk the ramp at Ashtalakshmi Mahotsav | Video Speaking at the Times Network’s India Economic Conclave, Scindia emphasised that auctioning spectrum for satellite services was not feasible due to scientific constraints. “No country in the world auctions satellites because it’s physically impossible. The pricing will be decided by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India. That authority will assign the price, and based on that, the spectrum will be assigned to everyone that procures a license,” he said. Also Read : Aim of 3-day festival is to bring NE states to the world: Scindia The minister explained that satellite spectrum must be shared due to physical principles, making administrative allocation the global standard. “You can only auction something that is committed to a certain individual. For satellite phones, you have to point your antenna, and that’s when you get the signal, and it keeps shifting,” Scindia said. Also Read : TMC’s Banerjee apologises for remarks on minister Scindia Speaking about State-owned telecom operator BSNL, Scindia said the company has been posting operational profits since 2021, with revenues increasing by about 12% to ₹ 21,000 crore while expenditure reduced by 2%. He added that BSNL’s delayed 4G launch was due to its choice to use indigenous technology, with plans to roll out 100,000 towers by June 2025 Addressing the Parliament controversy, Scindia stressed the importance of maintaining decorum in democratic discourse. “In my 22 years of political experience, I have never made a personal remark about anyone. There should be a standard in politics,” he said, referring to offensive comments made by Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee during a discussion on the Disaster Management (Amendment) Bill on Wednesday. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Thursday said that Banerjee had submitted a written apology for his remarks, though Scindia refused to accept it, calling it a “personal attack on me and the women of India”.

Liverpool power seven points clear, Man Utd crash at WolvesMaga v Musk: Trump camp divided in bitter fight over immigration policyBrowns restructure QB Deshaun Watson's contract to create cap space, flexibility, AP source says

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jalen Hurts may sit out a potential NFC East clincher against Dallas because of the lingering effects of a concussion . The Eagles could also just rest Hurts to play it safe -- even if he’s medically cleared ahead of Sunday’s game -- and protect their franchise QB from additional injury over the final two games. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni kept quiet this week on which QB will start Sunday, in large part, of course, because of the head injury suffered by Hurts in last week’s loss to Washington that forced him into the concussion protocol . The issue was complicated by backup Kenny Pickett’s rib injury suffered in relief of Hurts in his first real game competition in nearly a year. Tanner McKee, the third-string QB, could move into a backup role — or maybe even get the start against the Cowboys. Philadelphia's starting quarterback situation has surged past Saquon Barkley's chase at Eric Dickerson's season rushing record as the most intriguing talking point in the final two games. The Eagles (12-3) appear certain to win the division title — they're two games ahead of Washington (10-5) — and a No. 2 seed in the conference no matter the quarterback headed into the playoffs. Even with an unsettled QB spot, the Eagles are are still 71⁄2-point home favorites to beat division rival Dallas, per BetMGM Sportsbook. Sirianni appreciated that quarterback depth has been a strength for the Eagles. “We feel good about that room,” he said. So why risk Hurts against the Cowboys? There's little reason to make Hurts play only a week after absorbing a pair of blows to the head and the extra week off — maybe two if the finale against the Giants is truly meaningless — could add to his recovery time ahead of a home playoff game. The Eagles were burned in a similar situation last season when Hurts and star wide receiver A.J. Brown were both injured in the final game against the Giants with little at stake. With both players hampered by unnecessary injuries, the Eagles were dumped the next week by Tampa Bay in the NFC wild-card playoff game. The Eagles have options if Hurts is inactive. Pickett was 14 of 24 for 143 yards in relief, throwing a touchdown pass to Brown and an interception. Pickett, a first-round pick out of Pitt in 2022, went 14-10 as a starter for the Steelers before he was traded to the Eagles in the offseason. McKee was the Eagles’ 2023 sixth-round pick out of Stanford. The 6-foot-6, 231-pound quarterback has yet to take a snap in a regular-season game. He's mostly used in practice on the scout team or in developmental periods — at best, he'll stay late after practice to get some reps in with the top receivers. “Every week, every opportunity, it's knowing it could be my shot, my chance,” McKee said. He could finally get that shot against Dallas. With the Cowboys out of playoff contention, the questions persist for coach Mike McCarthy about bypassing Cooper Rush for a look at Trey Lance before both QBs hit free agency. McCarthy’s answer hasn’t wavered: Rush gives Dallas the best chance to win. Rush is 4-3 since Dak Prescott’s season-ending hamstring tear after going 5-1 over two previous stints as an injury replacement. That’s 9-4 total. Half the losses came in both of Rush’s starts against Eagles – the last of five games filling in during the 2022 season and the first game this season. “The mindset is to win,” McCarthy said. “We’re going to Philadelphia to win the game.” Barkley leads the NFL with 1,838 yards rushing for the season through 15 games. He still needs two big outings in the final games of the season against Dallas and the New York Giants to top Dickerson and his 2,105 yards for the Los Angeles Rams in 1984. Barkley is 268 yards away from passing Dickerson for the season mark and 162 shy from becoming the ninth player in NFL history with 2,000 yards rushing in a season. He ran for only 66 yards in the first game this season against Dallas. Dallas ranks 28th in the NFL in rushing defense, surrendering 135.9 yards per contest. Philadelphia, behind Barkley’s stellar play, tops the league at 187.9 yards per game on the ground. The Eagles have already have set a team record for yards rushing in a season with 2,818, and they are within four rushing touchdowns of tying the club’s single-season mark of 32, set in 2022. Barkley needs four more rushing touchdowns to tie LeSean McCoy’s Eagles record, set in 2011 and just 33 yards from scrimmage to break McCoy’s mark of 2,146 set in 2013. Star Dallas edge rusher Micah Parsons needs half a sack to reach double digits in each of his first four seasons despite missing four games with a high ankle sprain, the first injury absence of his career. The 2021 AP Defensive Rookie of the Year would be the fifth player to reach 10 sacks in each of his first four seasons. The other four — Claude Humphrey, Reggie White, Derrick Thomas and Dwight Freeney - are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. AP Pro Football Writer Schuyler Dixon contributed from Arlington, Texas.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — An online spat between factions of Donald Trump's supporters over immigration and the tech industry has thrown internal divisions in his political movement into public display, previewing the fissures and contradictory views his coalition could bring to the White House. The rift laid bare the tensions between the newest flank of Trump's movement — wealthy members of the tech world including billionaire Elon Musk and fellow entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and their call for more highly skilled workers in their industry — and people in Trump's Make America Great Again base who championed his hardline immigration policies. The debate touched off this week when Laura Loomer , a right-wing provocateur with a history of racist and conspiratorial comments, criticized Trump’s selection of Sriram Krishnan as an adviser on artificial intelligence policy in his coming administration. Krishnan favors the ability to bring more skilled immigrants into the U.S. Loomer declared the stance to be “not America First policy” and said the tech executives who have aligned themselves with Trump were doing so to enrich themselves. Much of the debate played out on the social media network X, which Musk owns. Loomer's comments sparked a back-and-forth with venture capitalist and former PayPal executive David Sacks , whom Trump has tapped to be the “White House A.I. & Crypto Czar." Musk and Ramaswamy, whom Trump has tasked with finding ways to cut the federal government , weighed in, defending the tech industry's need to bring in foreign workers. It bloomed into a larger debate with more figures from the hard-right weighing in about the need to hire U.S. workers, whether values in American culture can produce the best engineers, free speech on the internet, the newfound influence tech figures have in Trump's world and what his political movement stands for. Trump has not yet weighed in on the rift, and his presidential transition team did not respond to a message seeking comment. Musk, the world's richest man who has grown remarkably close to the president-elect , was a central figure in the debate, not only for his stature in Trump's movement but his stance on the tech industry's hiring of foreign workers. Technology companies say H-1B visas for skilled workers, used by software engineers and others in the tech industry, are critical for hard-to-fill positions. But critics have said they undercut U.S. citizens who could take those jobs. Some on the right have called for the program to be eliminated, not expanded. Born in South Africa, Musk was once on an a H-1B visa himself and defended the industry's need to bring in foreign workers. “There is a permanent shortage of excellent engineering talent," he said in a post. “It is the fundamental limiting factor in Silicon Valley.” Trump's own positions over the years have reflected the divide in his movement. His tough immigration policies, including his pledge for a mass deportation, were central to his winning presidential campaign. He has focused on immigrants who come into the U.S. illegally but he has also sought curbs on legal immigration , including family-based visas. As a presidential candidate in 2016, Trump called the H-1B visa program “very bad” and “unfair” for U.S. workers. After he became president, Trump in 2017 issued a “Buy American and Hire American” executive order , which directed Cabinet members to suggest changes to ensure H-1B visas were awarded to the highest-paid or most-skilled applicants to protect American workers. Trump's businesses, however, have hired foreign workers, including waiters and cooks at his Mar-a-Lago club , and his social media company behind his Truth Social app has used the the H-1B program for highly skilled workers. During his 2024 campaign for president, as he made immigration his signature issue, Trump said immigrants in the country illegally are “poisoning the blood of our country" and promised to carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history. But in a sharp departure from his usual alarmist message around immigration generally, Trump told a podcast this year that he wants to give automatic green cards to foreign students who graduate from U.S. colleges. “I think you should get automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country," he told the “All-In" podcast with people from the venture capital and technology world. Those comments came on the cusp of Trump's budding alliance with tech industry figures, but he did not make the idea a regular part of his campaign message or detail any plans to pursue such changes. Michelle L. Price, The Associated PressKatherine Schwarzenegger Shares First Pic of Son With Chris PrattThe Santa We Know And Love Is Thanks To Coca-Cola MarketingSunday’s matchup between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium in Nashville will feature a lot of what you might expect for a pair of teams with a combined 5-19 record entering Week 14. A lot of banged-up players. Both of these teams have been ravaged by injuries this season. Jacksonville placed quarterback Trevor Lawrence on season-ending injured reserve this week, joining a group that includes wide receivers Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis. The Titans, meanwhile, have 14 total players on IR and had an additional 14 names listed on this week’s practice report with various ailments. MORE: NFL picks, score predictions Week 14: Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Tennessee Titans Sunday’s matchup of AFC South bottom feeders could come down to who’s in and who’s ruled out. Here’s a full team-by-team injury breakdown, with the latest updates off of Friday’s practice reports: Jaguars vs. Titans: Full injury designations Jacksonville Jaguars P Logan Cooke (knee) Cooke is dealing with an issue with his left knee, resting it all week. Cooke has probably been Jacksonville’s most consistent player in 2024. He’s one of two punters in football averaging over 51 yards per punt and is on the radar for his first Pro Bowl nod. Jacksonville signed punter Matt Haack to its practice squad on Tuesday in the event Cooke misses the game. CB Tyson Campbell (thigh) Campbell has been in and out of the lineup all season with various muscle and leg injuries. One positive in this lost season is that Jacksonville has been able to give young corners like Montaric Brown and rookie Jarrian Jones plenty of run. Brown, who started five games earlier in the season, would be the next man up if Campbell can’t go. LS Ross Matiscik (hamstring) Jacksonville’s top long snapper is dealing with a hamstring injury, which he tested out during Friday’s practice. Potentially being down both a punter and long snapper is not ideal. Recent practice squad addition Tucker Addington would likely be the next man up if Matiscik is ruled out. LB Yasir Abdullah (hamstring) Abdullah, a second-year reserve linebacker, is seeking his first game action since Week 10. He seems unlikely for this week, as he was unable to upgrade to full practice participation. Tennessee Titans OG Logan Bruss (knee) Tennessee’s backup to Peter Skoronski at left guard came up lame with a knee issue during Thursday’s practice and was downgraded to a DNP on Friday. Bruss hasn’t played meaningful snaps on offense since Week 5. OT Jaelyn Duncan (hamstring) The second-year reserve offensive tackle is nearing a return from injured reserve, it just won’t be on Sunday. Duncan practiced in full all three days this week. He figures to be activated next week. CB Roger McCreary (shoulder) Tennessee’s starting nickel was unable to practice at all this week due to a shoulder injury. The cornerback room is banged up overall, with L'Jarius Sneed (quad) recently landing on injured reserve. The Titans could be down to undrafted rookie Gabe Jeudy-Lally or special teamer Tre Avery at the position, depending on Sunday's inactives list. CB Jarvis Brownlee Jr. (hip) Brownlee has been a bright spot this season as a fifth-round draft pick out of Louisville. He’s been the starter opposite Darrell Baker Jr. over the second half of the season and played a career-high 82 snaps against Washington last week. His availability is in doubt after downgrading from limited to DNP on Friday. LB Kenneth Murray Jr. (hamstring) Murray, the Titans starting middle linebacker all season, played 73 snaps against the Commanders last week but was unable to practice due to a hamstring issue. LB Jerome Baker (neck) Baker, a starting inside linebacker the past two weeks, popped up on the injury report with a neck injury on Thursday and missed Friday’s practice. Baker came to Tennessee along with a draft pick in the trade that sent LB Ernest Jones to the Seattle Seahawks . LB James Williams (knee) Williams has been a special teams player for the Titans this season, but he could get his first defensive snaps of the season if either Murray or Baker can’t go. DT T'Vondre Sweat (shoulder) The Titans could be down their starting nose tackle, as Sweat was not spotted at any practices this week. The second-round rookie has shown promise this season, starting all but one game to date. Second-year pro Keondre Coburn could see extended run in Sweat’s potential absence. OT Leroy Watson IV (back) Watson, who’s struggled in four spot starts this season, should be available Sunday after practicing in full on back-to-back days.
