Arsenal to be 'offered chance to sign £76million-rated PSG star on loan in January' as cover for Bukayo Saka, who is set to be out until MARCH with hamstring tear Arsenal have reportedly been given the chance to sign a PSG forward on loan Gunners will be without talisman Bukayo Saka in the coming weeks due to injury SOCCER A-Z: Listen now wherever you get your podcasts, or watch on YouTube. New episodes every Wednesday and Friday By ADRIAN BISHOP Published: 18:27, 24 December 2024 | Updated: 18:27, 24 December 2024 e-mail View comments Arsenal are reportedly set to be offered the chance to sign a PSG forward on loan to serve as cover for Bukayo Saka . Just 24 minutes into the Gunners' clash with Crystal Palace on Saturday has to be replaced and later left Selhurst Park on crutches. Mikel Arteta later confirmed that Saka would be absent for 'many weeks' with a hamstring injury , with concerns from inside the club that the England star could be out until early March. The news comes as a significant blow to Arsenal's title hopes, with the club having already seen captain Martin Odegaard miss multiple games through injury earlier in the campaign. With Saka set for an extended spell on the sidelines, speculation has fixated on whether Arteta will look to bolster his options when the transfer window opens next month. According to a report from The Standard , Arsenal are one of several clubs that will be offered the chance to sign PSG forward Randal Kolo Muani on loan for the remainder of the season. Arsenal are reportedly set to be offered the chance to sign PSG forward Randal Kolo Muani on loan after losing Bukayo Saka through injury Gunners boss Mikel Arteta confirmed earlier this week that Saka will be out for several weeks France international Muani has recently found himself on the fringes of Luis Enrique's plans at the Parc des Princes Kolo Muani was seen as a marquee arrival when PSG paid £64million plus add-ons to sign him from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer of 2023. However, the France international endured a disappointing maiden campaign at the Parc des Princes, scoring just 9 goals in 40 games in all competitions. This season Kolo Muani's stock has dropped even further, with PSG boss Luis Enrique limiting the 26-year-old to just two league starts so far this season. Asked about Muani's future at PSG earlier this month Enrique insisted: 'I could speak about it but I won’t because my decisions say it all, even if as I have said, all of my decisions can be changed.’ Muani has three-and-a-half years left on his contract with Les Parisiens, with the deal reportedly worth upwards of £200,000-per-week.

In a video shared by British broadcast station Channel 5 News on , Kate is seen talking about her challenging year after singer Paloma Faith inquired about how she was doing. “This year has been full of surprises,” Kate can be heard answering. “The unplanned,” Faith offered, to which Kate nodded and repeated, “The unplanned, exactly.” “But I know I’m not alone. So many people have faced their own challenges this year,” Kate added. The private and often reserved 42-year-old’s words offered a rare glimpse into her experience with cancer, a journey that prompted her to step back from public duties to undergo treatment. In September, Kate announced that in a post shared on social media in which she described the journey as "complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you." “As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment," she continued in her message." The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family.

NEW YORK (AP) — No ex-president had a more prolific and diverse publishing career than . His more than two dozen books included nonfiction, poetry, fiction, religious meditations and a children’s story. His memoir “An Hour Before Daylight” was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2002, while his 2006 best-seller “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” stirred a fierce debate by likening Israel’s policies in the West Bank to the brutal South African system of racial segregation. And just before his 100th birthday, the honored him with a for how he wielded “the power of the written word to foster peace, social justice, and global understanding.” In one recent work, “A Full Life,” Carter observed that he “enjoyed writing” and that his books “provided a much-needed source of income.” But some projects were easier than others. “Everything to Gain,” a 1987 collaboration with his wife, Rosalynn, turned into the “worst threat we ever experienced in our marriage,” an intractable standoff for the facilitator of the Camp David accords and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. According to Carter, Rosalynn was a meticulous author who considered “the resulting sentences as though they have come down from Mount Sinai, carved into stone.” Their memories differed on various events and they fell into “constant arguments.” They were ready to abandon the book and return the advance, until their editor persuaded them to simply divide any disputed passages between them. “In the book, each of these paragraphs is identified by a ‘J’ or an ‘R,’ and our marriage survived,” he wrote. Here is a partial list of books by Carter: “Keeping Faith: Memoirs of a President” “The Blood of Abraham: Insights into the Middle East” (With Rosalynn Carter) “Everything to Gain: Making the Most of the Rest of Your Life” “An Outdoor Journal: Adventures and Reflections” “Turning Point: A Candidate, a State, and a Nation Come of Age” “Always a Reckoning, and Other Poems” (With daughter Amy Carter) “The Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer” “Living Faith” “The Virtues of Aging” “An Hour Before Daylight: Memories of a Rural Boyhood” “Christmas in Plains: Memories” “The Hornet’s Nest: A Novel of the Revolutionary War” “Our Endangered Values: America’s Moral Crisis” “Faith & Freedom: The Christian Challenge for the World” “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” “A Remarkable Mother” “Beyond the White House” “We Can Have Peace in the Holy Land: A Plan That Will Work” “White House Diary” “NIV Lessons from Life Bible: Personal Reflections with Jimmy Carter” “A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power” “A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety”Japan Current Account n.s.a. came in at ¥2456.9B, above expectations (¥2318B) in OctoberHistory made: St. Mary's claims 4A girls flag football state championship

Javier Milei Announces Argentina-Israel Alliance Against Terrorism

NASA 's Parker Solar Probe is spending Christmas Eve on a history-making attempt to fly closer to the sun than we have ever been before — a stunning technological feat that scientists liken to the historic Apollo moon landing in 1969. At 6:53 a.m. ET on Tuesday (Dec. 24), the car-sized spacecraft was scheduled to zoom within 3.8 million miles (6.1 million kilometers) of the sun's surface, nearly 10 times closer than Mercury's orbit around the star. The probe was traveling at an incredible speed of 430,000 mph (690,000 kph) — fast enough to travel from Tokyo to Washington, D.C. in less than a minute — breaking its own record as the fastest human-made object in history. "Right now, Parker Solar Probe has achieved what we designed the mission for," Nicola Fox , the associate administrator for NASA Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C., said in a NASA video released on Dec. 24. "It's just a total 'Yay! We did it' moment." Mission control cannot communicate with the probe during this rendezvous due to its vicinity to the sun, and will only know how the spacecraft fared in the early hours of Dec. 27 after a beacon signal confirms both the flyby's success and the overall state of the spacecraft. Images gathered during the flyby will beam home in early January, followed by scientific data later in the month when the probe swoops further away from the sun, Nour Rawafi , who is the project scientist for the mission, told reporters at the Annual Meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) earlier this month. Related: 10 supercharged solar storms that blew us away in 2024 "We can't wait to receive that first status update from the spacecraft and start receiving the science data in the coming weeks," Arik Posner , the program scientist for the Parker Solar Probe at NASA Headquarters, said in a statement . "No human-made object has ever passed this close to a star, so Parker will truly be returning data from uncharted territory," added Nick Pinkine , the Parker Solar Probe mission operations manager at the Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland.

HAPPENING RIGHT NOW: NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is making its closest-ever approach to the Sun! 🛰️ ☀️ More on this historic moment from @NASAScienceAA Nicola Fox 👇 Follow Parker’s journey: https://t.co/MtDPCEK6w6#3point8 pic.twitter.com/Bq85XFa1QS December 24, 2024 Parker launched in 2018 to help decode some of the biggest mysteries about our sun, such as why its outermost layer, the corona, heats up as it moves further from the sun's surface, and what processes accelerate charged particles to near-light speeds. In addition to revolutionizing our understanding about the sun, the probe also caught rare closeups of passing comets and studied the surface of Venus. On Christmas Eve, scientists expect the probe to have flown through plumes of plasma still attached to the sun, and hope it observed solar flares occurring simultaneously due to ramped-up turbulence on the sun's surface, which spark breathtaking auroras on Earth but also disrupt communication systems and other technology. "The sun is doing different things than it did when we first launched," Nicholeen Viall , who is a co-investigator for the WISPR instrument onboard Parker Solar Probe, told reporters at the AGU meeting.

Could that change its prospects for life? Parker's 4.5-inch-thick heat shield is designed to endure temperatures of up to 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit (1,371 degrees Celsius), partly thanks to a specially-designed white coating that will reflect much of the sun's heat and help maintain spacecraft instruments at a comfortable room temperature. But scientists expect Parker to witness lower temperatures of about 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (982 degrees Celsius), Elizabeth Congdon , the lead engineer for the probe's thermal protection system, told reporters at AGU. "It's really great to see all the science that is enabled by the fact that we overprepared."

(AP) — Adam Jones ran for 197 yards and two touchdowns and Montana State ran over Montana 34-11 on Saturday to reclaim the Brawl of the Wild trophy. The Bobcats (12-0, 8-0 Big Sky Conference) wrapped up the 123rd meeting in this rivalry with 420 yards, 326 on the ground. Montana State capped its first unbeaten season and can match the school record for consecutive wins with a playoff win in two weeks. The Bobcats, ranked second in the FCS coaches poll, should be the top seed in the playoffs after top-ranked North Dakota State lost its finale to fifth-ranked South Dakota. Montana (8-4, 5-3), ranked 10th, is expected to add to its record 27 FCS playoff appearances but will not have a first-round bye in the 24-team bracket. Montana State quarterback Tommy Mellott was 6-of-12 passing for 94 yards with a touchdown in poor conditions and added 50 yards and a touchdown on the ground. He has helped the Bobcats score at least 30 points in every game this season Mellott had a 5-yard touchdown run on MSU's first possession and Mellott found Jones for a 35-yard touchdown early in the second quarter for a 14-3 lead. Myles Sansted had two field goals in the final two minutes, including a 49-yarder as time expired for a 20-3 halftime lead. Jones dominated the second half and scored two short touchdowns. Eli Gillman scored on a 1-yard run for Montana's touchdown between the Jones' touchdowns. The Grizzlies had just 234 yards and went 2 of 12 on third down.

The California Capitol was evacuated Friday morning after an emailed threat, officials said. State senators and their staff members were notified about the threat in a memo, according to officials. Members in the Assembly received a similar note. They were asked to leave the area and work remotely. “Law enforcement is actively working to determine if the threat received this morning is credible, but out of an abundance of caution, all Senators and Senate staff were directed to leave and work remotely from home until the situation is resolved,” the Office of the Secretary of the Senate said in a statement. The California Highway Patrol said on a social media post that officers were investigating the threat, but did not give details. A spokesperson didn’t immediately return to a request for comment.

The selection committee preferred the Mustangs, losers of a heartbreaker in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game, who had a far less difficult schedule than Alabama of the SEC but one fewer loss. The inaugural 12-team bracket marks a new era for college football, though the Alabama-SMU debate made clear there is no perfect formula. The tournament starts Dec. 20-21 with four first-round games. It concludes Jan. 20 with the national title game in Atlanta. Alabama left out of playoff as committee rewards SMU's wins over Crimson Tide's strong schedule The College Football Playoff committee took wins over strength of schedule, taking SMU over Alabama for the final at-large spot in the field. The field was expanded from four to 12 teams this season, but that didn’t save the committee from controversy. SMU showed it could compete against a traditional power, losing to Clemson 34-31 on a 56-yard field goal in the ACC title game on Saturday. Alabama had some ups and downs in its first season under coach Kalen DeBoer. The Crimson Tide had quality wins against Georgia and South Carolina, but lost at Vanderbilt, Tennessee and Oklahoma. Big Ten wins playoff selection derby, followed by SEC despite notable Alabama omission College football’s conference shakeup left concerns about two super conferences dominating the playoff field. They weren’t totally unfounded, or 100% born out. The Big Ten, not the Southeastern Conference, was the biggest winner. The ACC scored, too. The Big Ten led the initial 12-team playoff field with four making the cut, topped by a No. 1 Oregon team that was part of the Pac-12 exodus. Then came the SEC — and one notable omission. ACC runner-up SMU got the nod over college football blue-blood Alabama, another blemish in Kalen DeBoer’s first season as Nick Saban’s championship-or-bust successor. Darnold delivers for Vikings with career-high 347 yards and 5 TDs to beat Falcons, Cousins 42-21 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Sam Darnold threw for 347 yards and five touchdowns, both career highs, and the Minnesota Vikings pulled away from Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons 42-21 for their sixth straight victory. Darnold added another highlight to his brilliant first season with the Vikings following Cousins' departure in free agency to Atlanta with a 22-for-28 performance and no turnover-worthy plays despite heavy first-half pressure. Jordan Addison had eight catches for 133 yards and three scores and Justin Jefferson racked up seven receptions for 132 yards and two touchdowns. Cousins threw two more interceptions without a touchdown in his return to Minnesota. Saquon Barkley sets Eagles season rushing record and has Dickerson's NFL mark in his sights PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Saquon Barkley has broken LeSean McCoy's Eagles franchise record for rushing yards in a season. Barkley has 1,623 yards. He surpassed McCoy's mark of 1,607 yards with a 9-yard run in Sunday's 22-16 win over Carolina. Barkley finished the game with 124 yards, within a yard of his season average. He has four games left and is on pace to break Eric Dickerson's 40-year-old NFL record of 2,105 yards. Dickerson set that record in a 16-game season and Barkley has one more game. Eagles fans serenaded Barkley with “MVP!” chants and McCoy congratulated him on social media. Saints QB Derek Carr injures left hand on dive in 4th quarter of win over Giants EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr injured his left hand late in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 14-11 victory over the New York Giants when he went airborne while trying for a first down and crashed to the turf. Carr tried to leap over a Giants tackler and landed at the New Orleans 39-yard line, extending his non-throwing hand to break his fall. He was on the turf for a minute or two before walking to the medical tent. He was examined and slowly walked to an area where X-rays are done. The injury could hurt the already slim playoff hopes of the Saints. Tamar Bates scores 29 points to help Missouri beat No. 1 Kansas 76-67 COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Tamar Bates had 29 points and five steals to help Missouri beat Hunter Dickinson and No. 1 Kansas 76-67. Mark Mitchell scored 17 points in Missouri’s first win over Kansas since a 74-71 victory on Feb. 4, 2012. Anthony Robinson II had 11 points and five steals for the 8-1 Tigers. Dickinson had 19 points and 14 rebounds, but he also committed seven turnovers. The 7-2 Jayhawks have lost two straight on the road after falling 76-63 against Creighton on Wednesday night. Scottie Scheffler ends his big year in the Bahamas with his 9th victory NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — Scottie Scheffler ended his biggest year with another victory. Scheffler was coming off a two-month break and looked as good as ever. He shot 63 in the Hero World Challenge and set tournament records at Albany with a 72-hole total of 263 and a six-shot victory. Tom Kim was the runner-up and Justin Thomas finished third. Scheffler ends his year with nine victories in 21 tournaments. That includes the holiday tournament in the Bahamas and the Olympic gold medal in Paris. It's the third-highest winning percentage in the last 40 years. Tournament host Tiger Woods had two better years. Lindsey Vonn is encouraged by how close she is to being competitive in ski racing return at age 40 COPPER MOUNTAIN, Colo. (AP) — Lindsey Vonn is encouraged by how close she is to being competitive again in her ski racing return at 40 years old. Vonn is still getting her ski equipment dialed in and getting used to going full speed again on her new titanium knee. That’s why all that she's reading into being more than two seconds behind in a pair of lower-level super-G races Sunday is that she’s right there. This after nearly six years away from ski racing and an abbreviated prep period. She was 2.19 seconds behind in the first race and 2.06 in the second. Both were won by her American teammate Lauren Macuga. Plane circles MetLife Stadium with message to co-owner John Mara to fix the Giants' 'dumpster fire' EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — A small plane circled MetLife Stadium roughly 90 minutes before New York was to play host to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, asking Giants co-owner John Mara to overhaul the team that has made the playoffs twice since winning the Super Bowl in February 2012. “Mr. Mara, enough. Please fix this dumpster fire!” the message read as it was towed behind the rear of a small plane.
