Cathy Kelley on Why Fans Shouldn’t Expect To See Her & Jackie Redmond in the RingPep Guardiola sure 75 per cent of Premier League clubs want Man City relegatedBarcelona was minutes away from a win to pad its league lead after Raphinha and Lewandowski had put Barcelona in control. But the game dramatically swung after Barcelona defensive midfielder Marc Casadó was sent off with a second booking in the 81st. Moments later Jules Koundé’s poor control of a ball in his area allowed Alfon González to pick his pocket and give the hosts hope in the 84th minute. Celta poured forward at Balaidos Stadium and Hugo Álvarez rifled in the 86th-minute equalizer with Barcelona unable to mark the extra man. AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
Emmerdale fans believe they've cracked the code behind Joe Tate's unexpected return to the Dales. Joe, portrayed by Ned Porteous, made a dramatic return to Emmerdale over the festive period, arriving just in time for the tragic demise of Will Taylor (Dean Andrews), Kim Tate 's (Claire King) spouse. With his sudden appearance shrouded in mystery, questions have surfaced about Joe's hidden agenda and underlying issues. Devoted Emmerdale viewers took to social media en masse to speculate on his 'true' intentions, suggesting that either financial woes or a grave illness could be at play. One tweeted: "If they've just brought Joe back to kill him off, I'm not going to be happy.. # Emmerdale ," while another surmised: "Joe's going to have some terminal illness, isn't he? # Emmerdale ." Another viewer guessed: "I reckon Joe is only back because he ran out of money because he's a drugs addict # Emmerdale ," with another simply asking: "What's up with Joe... # Emmerdale ." Ned Porteous revealed his thoughts about returning as Joe: "I'm so excited to be returning to Emmerdale . There's a lot of unfinished business for Joe, and it feels like the right time for him to make a comeback. "Joe has always been a character with a dark side, but there could be something much bigger at play here. Joe is back for a reason, and the devastation at Home Farm is just the beginning of a much bigger story." He added: "It's safe to say the audience can expect fireworks this holiday season!" Producer Laura Shaw couldn't contain her excitement, adding: "We are thrilled to welcome Ned back to Village. From the moment Joe arrives on screen, it's clear there's trouble ahead but Joe's hiding an even darker secret that could see 2025 start off with a huge bang." In tonight's gripping episode, the disappearance of April (Amelia Flanagan) has Marlon (Mark Charnock) frantically seeking his daughter. Despite Marlon's valiant efforts, including a visit to Jade in hopes she harboured April, her whereabouts remain a mystery. Jade, however, faces her own drama as she ends up in handcuffs, with Marlon inadvertently accelerating the police inquiry during his raid at an illicit boxing venue. The plot thickens at the close with Billy (Jay Kontzle) voicing his suspicions about Joe's involvement in Will's demise to Dawn (Olivia Bromley), after recounting Joe's history in the village. The question lingers ominously is Joe responsible for Will's death? * Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour long episode on Thursdays.
Daniel Jones Next Team Odds: Contenders jockeying for QB?
With Donald Trump winning back the White House, his Big Lie that Jan. 6 was just an enthusiastic rally that got out of hand, rather than an insurrectionist mob he unleashed to disrupt the count of the 2020 electoral college, has new currency. A new congressional Republican report, spearheaded by MAGA lapdog Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) has recommended a criminal probe of former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) for co-chairing the House Jan. 6 investigation. Loudermilk’s report reached a through-the-looking-glass conclusion that Cheney & co. had promoted “a false, pre-determined narrative that President Trump was personally responsible for the breach of the Capitol on Jan. 6 and should therefore be held accountable.” Trump is returning to the Oval Office with an explicit agenda to rewrite history — and upend convictions. He has vowed to issue “Day One” pardons to Jan. 6 criminals and defendants, whom he has called “great patriots,” “hostages,” and “warriors.” During the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump referred to Jan. 6 itself as “a day of love.” And when he recently summoned tech billionaire Mark Zuckerberg to Mar-a-Lago, Trump reportedly prompted his guests to rise and place their hands over their hearts, while listening to a rendition of the national anthem sung by jailed Jan. 6 defendants. It is not precisely clear whom Trump wants to pardon . But the list of Jan. 6 convicts includes many serving long sentences for serious felonies — ranging from injuring police officers to sedition. In mid-December, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., who has handled many Jan. 6 criminal cases, spoke out from the bench. District Court Judge Amit Mehta said the idea that Trump could pardon the former head of the Oath Keepers militia haunts him: “The notion that Stewart Rhodes could be absolved is frightening — and ought to be frightening to anyone who cares about democracy,” Mehta said , per a courtroom report in Politico . In 2023, Mehta handed down an 18-year sentence to Rhodes for “seditious conspiracy.” (The prison term included a terrorism enhancement.) Editor’s picks The 100 Best TV Episodes of All Time The 250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time The 200 Greatest Singers of All Time Asked by Rolling Stone if Trump planned to pardon Rhodes — or others imprisoned on seditious conspiracy charges, like Enrique Tarrio, the ex-honcho of the Proud Boys — the presidential transition team didn’t rule it out. “President Trump will make pardon decisions on a case-by-case basis for those who were denied due process and unfairly targeted by the justice system,” says Trump transition spokesperson Karoline Leavitt. In the buildup to Jan. 6 and in its aftermath, Rhodes spearheaded militia activity that that saw Oath Keepers lieutenants stockpile weapons across the border in Virginia, creating “Quick Reaction Forces” or QFCs, that could be activated in the hoped-for scenario that Trump would invoke the Insurrection Act and summon militia groups to battle his enemies to help him cling to power. Rhodes was outside the Capitol during the rioting, but communicated with members in the building. When Rhodes received a report that members of Congress were in danger and looking to flee, he replied, per court documents, “ Fuck ‘em. ” At sentencing, Rhodes compared himself to the Soviet dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Mehta told Rhodes to his face that he was no “political prisoner” — but rather an “ongoing threat and peril to this country.” Rhodes and the Oath Keepers were tangentially linked to MAGA world — with Oath Keepers providing security for VIPs at “Stop the Steal” rallies. (The licit reason for militia members being on the ground on Jan. 6 was to beef up security at the Trump rally at the Ellipse.) Trumpworld had a tighter relationship with the Proud Boys. The fighting club’s honcho Enrique Tarrio had been the Florida director for the grassroots group, Latinos for Trump. He was also an associate of Trump ally Roger Stone — and got his picture taken with MAGA luminaries including Donald Trump Jr., Sens. Ted Cruz and Rick Scott, and former Trump aide Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who’s now the governor of Arkansas. Trump infamously called on the fight club to “Stand back and stand by” during a September 2020 debate with Joe Biden, rather than denounce them.

Tarrio was not in Washington, D.C., for the violence of Jan. 6; he had a court order to stay out of town stemming from a previous arrest in the district. But Tarrio directed an elite Proud Boys faction called the “Ministry of Self Defense,” which “participated in every consequential breach” on Jan. 6, per court documents, including a Proud Boy deputy who smashed out the first window at the Capitol, providing a point of entry for rioters. During the violence, Tarrio posted on social media, “Don’t fucking leave.” After the violence died down, he crowed: “Make no mistake... we did this.” Trump’s first pick for attorney general, the disgraced ex-congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), had called Tarrio’s sentence “ Orwellian .” Trump’s current choice, former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, is more of a cipher on Jan. 6 sentences. However, Trump’s FBI director nominee Kash Patel has written that the notion that that Jan. 6 was an insurrection is “gaslighting at its finest” — insisting: “It was NOT a coup. It was NOT an assault by domestic terrorists on our democracy.” Rhodes and Tarrio are not alone in being convicted for seditious conspiracy over Jan. 6. Their co-conspirators include many other Proud Boys and Oath Keepers deputies. Trump’s own messaging on who in the Jan. 6 crowd merits his compassion has — in typical form — been all over the place. “If somebody was evil and bad, I would look at that differently,” he said in an April Time interview. But in comments at a 2023 CNN town hall, Trump said he would “look at” the sedition convictions for Proud Boys, in particular, signaling he was open to the idea they deserved clemency: “I will say in Washington, D.C., you cannot get a fair trial. You cannot.” At a recent press conference, Trump was, once again, non-committal on the scope of his Jan. 6 pardons, but vowed that he’d move quickly once in office. He told reporters, simply, “ You’ll find out .”

She and her parents were stuck interminably in a hotel room in Bogota, Colombia. You could feel the desperation in the room. On Saturday, the baby was a citizen of Australia. And on the following Monday, she had a passport and an exit route home. Senator David Pocock was the man with the clout who made the difference. He saw the story in The Canberra Times and moved into political top gear. His staff bombarded the home and foreign affairs departments with phone calls. "It was pretty simple," Senator Pocock said. "We saw you guys covering it and it didn't seem right, a Canberran stuck over there, wanting support, wanting to come home." So strong was the bombardment from the Pocock office that the citizenship was cleared on the Saturday, the very next day. Now citizen Alexis is home in Canberra. She was born on October 11 to a surrogate mother in the South American country, but the immigration people in Canberra were slow to grant her the right Australian papers. Until Senator Pocock got involved. "We are forever grateful to The Canberra Times and to David Pocock," Alexis' mother, Melinda McCann, said. She and her wife Gail went to Colombia for a surrogate mother after two attempts at having a child via surrogacy through a friend failed in Australia. Melinda McCann said they had been trying for a baby for nine years. Senator David Pocock helped Gail and Melinda McCann with their baby Alexis who were stranded in Colombia. Picture by Keegan Carroll Now they're all back, they are also grateful for the health service in Canberra. The family GP, Shree Vaka, in Wanniassa, got Alexis an urgent appointment at the Paediatric Hub in Bruce. "They altered her formula and medication, and now she's a completely different baby. She's so much better," the mother said. There were glitches after the passport was given to Alexis because of the quick work of the Australian embassy in Bogota. And it hasn't been cheap. The cost of the surrogacy via the IVF clinic in Colombia was $88,000 (compared to $160,000 in the United States, for example). The sperm donor was via an American company. And the family had to fly back to Australia with a transit in Chile - which needed a transit visa. They missed the flight they had paid for and the new flights cost a total of $11,000. Melinda McCann praised the Chilean diplomats in Canberra for their efforts, but the time differences prevented the initial flights from being made. She is a force to be reckoned with. In despair, she decided that publicity might jolt the bureaucracy into action after what she perceived as perpetual delay in Home Affairs. She said she was constantly referred to the website and told that the process normally took five months. In the final stages, she was liaising with Chilean diplomats in Canberra who were liaising with the Chilean foreign office in Santiago de Chile. Either way, it eventually worked. There is a sting in the tail: Melinda McCann has made a formal complaint to the Human Rights Commission alleging that the Home Affairs department breached her family's human rights by not dealing with a matter of urgency as a matter of urgency. Melinda McCann is a woman to be reckoned with. Alexis is unaware of the fuss. It should be said that Senator Pocock and his staff worked quietly, behind the scenes. They turned down publicity when it was being done. "It shouldn't take local members having to do that but that's why I'm here. I view my job as working for Canberrans," he said.

The operation was carried out by the Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 314, which is assigned to Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 9 aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72). During this mission, VMFA 314 targeted Houthi weapons storage facilities located within Houthi-controlled territories in Yemen. These facilities were not only critical to the Houthis’ operations but also housed various conventional weapons, including anti-ship missiles. Combat debut The Iranian-backed Houthis have utilized these weapons to threaten US and international military and civilian vessels navigating the crucial maritime corridors of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. Lt. Col. Jeffrey “Wiki” Davis, the commanding officer of VMFA-314, expressed pride in being the first squadron to deploy the F-35C in combat, stating, “The F-35C demonstrated its warfighting advantage by transiting contested airspace and striking targets in the heart of Houthi territory over multiple days. My Marines are honored to be first to fight with the F-35C.” The F-35C is a fifth-generation, long-range stealth fighter jet used by the US Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force. This multi-role aircraft is designed for various missions, including air-to-air combat, air-to-ground strikes, surveillance, and electronic warfare. Capt. Gerald “Dutch” Tritz, commander of CVW 9, highlighted the importance of the F-35C’s capabilities, saying , “The offensive and defensive capabilities of the F-35C absolutely enhance our air wing’s striking arm. The now battle-tested Air Wing of the Future has proven itself a game changer across all carrier air wing missions.” VMFA 314, known as the “Black Knights,” transitioned from the F-18 to the F-35C in 2020, marking them as the first fleet squadron in the Navy and Marine Corps to operate the fifth-generation fighter aircraft. They have a rich history, being the first operational Marine squadron to fly the F-4 Phantom and F-18 Hornet. F-35C fighter The F-35C is tailored for operations aboard aircraft carriers , with features specifically designed to meet naval requirements. It can launch via catapults and land using arrestor wires, making it highly adaptable for maritime aviation. With a wingspan of 43 feet, the F-35C provides enhanced lift for carrier takeoffs and landings, and its wingtips are foldable to maximize space on crowded decks. Due to its larger fuel capacity, the F-35C boasts the longest internal combat range of over 1,200 nautical miles. This allows for long missions with minimal reliance on aerial refueling. Its stealth features are supported by radar-absorbent materials and a low-observable design, enabling the aircraft to evade detection while carrying weapons internally. Equipped with advanced sensors, including the Distributed Aperture System (DAS) for situational awareness, an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, and an Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS), the F-35C enhances its effectiveness in combat. These systems integrate seamlessly to provide a clear and comprehensive operational environment. Contrary to the F-35B, which prioritizes vertical lift and has a reduced payload, the F-35C maximizes range and endurance without sacrificing operational capability. It is designed explicitly for carrier operations, marking a significant advancement in naval aviation and underscoring the US Marine Corps’ commitment to maintaining a technological edge in combat operations.
