However, for Sangio, a rising star in the football world, a shift in mindset towards selfishness has become a crucial element in his training and performance.Las Palmas Fabio Silva (right) celebrates after scoring the winning goal against Barcelona. BARCELONA - LaLiga leaders Barcelona’s 125th anniversary celebrations were spoiled by Las Palmas who claimed a shock 2-1 victory on Nov 30, after Fabio Silva scored the winner to extend the hosts’ winless league run to three games. In a game dominated by Barca, who had 70 per cent of possession and peppered the goal with almost 30 shots, it was Las Palmas who made their few chances count to claim a famous triumph. Barca remain on 34 points and lead second-placed Real Madrid by four but their rivals now have two games in hand, while the victory moved Las Palmas up to 14th place on 15 points. “I think when we don’t score the goals, the team struggles a little bit and this is what we have to change,” Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said. “... if we don’t score a goal, then maybe it’s possible for us to keep a clean sheet. So we have to defend better as a team, not only the last four or the defensive players, but the whole team and we can do it better.” Las Palmas constantly found space in Barca’s box in the opening stages of the first half at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys but could not find the breakthrough despite creating a couple of chances that led to some goalmouth action. Barcelona also lost full back Alejandro Balde to injury in the first half, with the 21-year-old taken off on a golf cart. The Catalans struggled to find a way past the Las Palmas defence although on the stroke of halftime Raphinha made a counter-attacking run but saw his shot come off the crossbar. Las Palmas struck the opening goal early in the second half when a sublime passing move that started with goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen finished when another former Barca player Sandro Ramirez scored from the edge of the box. Raphinha equaliser However, second-half substitutions, including the introduction of newly-crowned Golden Boy Lamine Yamal, helped Barca dominate and they equalised just after the hour when Pedri found Raphinha in a pocket of space near the edge of the box. The quick-footed Brazil winger turned and fired a low, left-foot shot past Cillessen to make it 1-1 for his ninth league goal of the season. Las Palmas were not deterred, though, and took the lead once more when Wolverhampton Wanderers loanee Silva broke through the offside trap to latch onto a pass from Javi Munoz and pulled the trigger to beat keeper Inaki Pena. Barcelona’s Brazilian forward Raphinha scored the equaliser, but Las Palmas were not deterred.

LaLiga top scorer Robert Lewandowski also had two opportunities to level late in added time but saw a glancing header go wide before his shot was blocked by the defence. “I’m very happy, it’s such a big win for us, we worked so hard and we suffered a lot. It’s three important points,” Las Palmas midfielder Alberto Moleiro said. “We stayed very compact and we didn’t leave a lot of space between the lines, that was the key. Up front, when we created chances, we made the most of them.” REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A new political equation is developing in Sagar district. Two former ministers from Sagar Bhupendra Singh and Gopal Bhargava, who were once against each other, were seen together at a function. To display his strength, Singh organised a Bhajan Sandhya on the birthday of his son Abhiraj. A large number of Singh’s supporters were present at the function. A few politicians were invited to the event where a new equation against Govind Singh Rajput was seen. Rajput was not invited to the function. Legislator Braj Bihari Pateria was also present on the occasion. The BJP leaders in Sagar seem to have been divided into two groups. Bhupendra has recently said those who had come from other political outfits and were causing trouble to the party leaders would not be accepted. The plot of the formation of a new faction was scripted at the function. But a year ago, the leaders from Sagar district came to Bhopal with complaints against Bhupendra. Now, with the changing political scenario, the rivals are coming together. Political rivalry between Bhupendra and Bhargava is old. Although Bhargava was a senior minister in the cabinet, Bhupendra was influential in Sagar. After the change of power, both of them could not become ministers. But Rajput who switched over to the BJP from the Congress became a minister. Now, both are coming together against Rajput.
WASHINGTON - Donald Trump threatened the United States’s closest neighbours with big tariffs this week, in a move that has reminded many of the unpredictable tactics the president-elect deployed during his first tenure in the White House. Trump said Monday he would use an executive order to impose 25 per cent tariffs on all goods coming from Canada and Mexico until the two countries stop drugs and migrants from illegally crossing the U.S. border. The announcement, made on Truth Social, brought swift responses from officials and industry in both countries who are bracing for chaos during Trump’s second tenure. He has long used the threat of import taxes to pressure other countries to do his bidding, saying this summer that “the most beautiful word in the dictionary is ‘tariff.’” It’s unlikely the move would violate the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement, which was negotiated during the first Trump administration. Laura Dawson, an expert on Canada-U. S. relations and the executive director of the Future Borders Coalition, said the president can impose tariffs under his national security powers. This type of duty has a time limit and can only be made permanent through Congressional approval, but for Trump, national security powers are like a “get out of jail free card,” Dawson said. “This is exactly what happened in the last Trump administration,” Dawson said. “Everyone said, ‘Well, that is ridiculous. Canada is the U.S.‘s best security partner. What do you mean our steel and aluminum imports are somehow a source of insecurity?’” But within the global trade system, she said, no country challenges another’s right to define their own national security imperatives. Trump’s first administration demonstrated how vulnerable Canada is to America’s whims when the former president scrapped the North American Free Trade Agreement. The U.S. is Canada’s closest neighbour and largest trading partner. More than 77 per cent of Canadian exports go to the U.S. Negotiation of CUSMA, commonly dubbed “the new NAFTA,” was a key test for Ottawa following Trump’s first victory. The trilateral agreement is up for review in 2026 and experts suspect this week’s tariff announcement is a negotiating tactic. Scott Bessent, Trump’s pick for treasury secretary, said in a recent op-ed that tariffs are “a useful tool for achieving the president’s foreign policy objectives.” “Whether it is getting allies to spend more on their own defence, opening foreign markets to U.S. exports, securing co-operation on ending illegal immigration and interdicting fentanyl trafficking, or deterring military aggression, tariffs can play a central role.” During the initial CUSMA negotiations in 2018, Trump floated the idea of a 25 per cent tariff on the Canadian auto sector — something that would have been crippling for the industry on both sides of the border. It was never implemented. At the time, he did use his national security powers to impose a 25 per cent tariff on steel and 10 per cent tariff on aluminum imports, casting fear of an all-out trade war that would threaten the global economy. The day after announcing those levies, Trump posted on social media “trade wars are good, and easy to win.” Former U.S. trade representative Robert Lighthizer recounted in his book that the duties sent an “unmistakable signal that business as usual was over.” “The Trump administration was willing to ruffle diplomatic feathers to advance its trade agenda.” It led to a legendary clash between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Trump at the G7 in Quebec. Trudeau said Canada would impose retaliatory measures, saying the argument that tariffs on steel and aluminum were a matter of national security was “kind of insulting.” Trump took to social media, where, in a flurry of posts he called Trudeau “very dishonest and weak.” Canada and other countries brought their own duties against the U.S. in response. They targeted products for political, rather than economic, reasons. Canada hit yogurt with a 10 per cent duty. Most of the product impacted came from one plant in Wisconsin, the home state of then-Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan. The European Union, Mexico and Canada all targeted U.S. whiskey products with tariffs, in a clear signal to then Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his home state of Kentucky’s bourbon industry. Ultimately, Canada and Mexico were able to negotiate exemptions. Carlo Dade, the director of trade and trade infrastructure at the Canada West Foundation, said Trump is returning to the White House with more experience and a plan. But he suspects Americans will not like the blow to their bank accounts. Trump’s new across-the-board tariff strategy would not only disrupt global supply chains, it would also cause a major shakeup to the American economy. It’s unclear if Trump will go through with them, or for how long, after campaigning on making life more affordable and increasing the energy market. “I think it will be short-term,” Dade said. “The U.S. can only inflict damage on itself for so long.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 26, 2024. — With files from The Associated Press

James will miss his second straight game when the Lakers return from a four-day break to face the Timberwolves, the Lakers announced Thursday. Recommended Videos The top scorer in NBA history was away from the team this week with an excused absence attributed to “personal reasons,” coach JJ Redick said Wednesday. It's unclear whether James will even make the quick round trip to Minnesota before the Lakers' next game at home against Memphis on Sunday. James missed his first game of his record-tying 22nd NBA season when the Lakers beat Portland at home last Sunday. That absence also was attributed to his foot injury. James is averaging 23.0 points, 9.1 assists and 8.0 rebounds for the Lakers (13-11), who have lost seven of 10 after a 10-4 start. The Lakers upgraded starter Austin Reaves to questionable for the game at Minnesota after he missed LA's previous five games with a pelvic bruise. Anthony Davis is listed as probable with left plantar fasciitis. ___ AP NBA: https://apnews.com/NBA

By prioritizing whole, unprocessed foods and taking the time to prepare and enjoy nourishing meals, we can reclaim control over our diets and break free from the cycle of overindulgence and dissatisfaction that plagues the full-chain rejection of "lazy meals."Through their heartfelt conversations, Baomo came to realize that his sister's journey was a tapestry of love and loss, of resilience and redemption.
