65 jili Nathan Cleary has opened up on his future on the field, declaring there is a reason why winning his fourth straight NRL premiership has not dulled his motivations. But he also has his mind set on family life beyond footy after sharing his dream of becoming a parent with his Matildas superstar partner Mary Fowler. The 27-year-old is on the comeback trail from off-season shoulder surgery and facing a huge challenge to keep Penrith on top in 2025 following the departure of running mates Jarome Luai, James Fisher-Harris and Sunia Turuva. “It’s a question that often gets asked, about motivation,” Cleary said on ex-NRL player Keegan Hipgrave’s podcast . “The way I think of it is I’m not really a person who will sit down and have yearly goals. I know what I want but it comes from little improvements each day and trying to find the joy in that. “I remember goal-setting when I was younger. All I want to do is play NRL, and then you get to NRL, it’s like alright, what’s next? Then it’s alright, if I win a competition I could happily retire. “But then you win a competition, it’s alright, well, this is pretty addictive, I want to win another one.” Cleary said his career turned in 2019-20 when he began caring less about external opinions, realising he was worried within games that he would be criticised for mistakes. His father and coach Ivan proved crucial to that turnaround. “I think in a way it’s almost disrespectful to the people in your corner if you’re so worried about what other people are thinking and not taking their opinions on board,” Cleary said. “I’ve had such a great group around me, particularly family, teammates, coaches all the way through, and I was almost neglecting that for these random people who wanted to have a shot at me.” Fowler has since become an important sounding board on the occasions the sporting stars do want to discuss their on-field pursuits. “She definitely understands,” Cleary said. “People look at us and think we’re talking about our sport all the time but sometimes it’s just nice to sit there as two human beings and enjoy other’s company and talk about something other than sport. “When we’re together we just enjoy each other’s company but it’s that support and trust that if something is going wrong we can talk to each other about it and bounce ideas off each other. It’s been really nice.” The discussion around Cleary and Fowler inevitably took over the podcast, with Hipgrave keen to explore how the Panthers halfback navigates the long-distance relationship. “Sometimes you just get home and you want a little cuddle but I think it’s helped us in a way to connect on more than just a physical level and actually have genuine conversations,” he said. “We just navigate around it and when we do see each other, it’s the best thing ever. You are really grateful for those moments we get to spend together. “Constant communication is what works for us, we make a real emphasis on that. And compromise as well. You’re not always going to love the same things. “The thing that I’ve noticed about having a partner is I just want to make her happy and I want her to feel safe and feel like I’m there for her so anything she wants to do, I’ll be like ‘yeah I’ll do that because it’s going to make you happy’.” Cleary said he walked on egg shells early when he was unsure if he could joke with Fowler as he does with family and friends. But more than a year on, they are serious enough that he was willing to share his hopes to one day have children with her. Hipgrave bounced off Cleary saying he “would love” to have kids in the future to ask if he and Fowler were thinking about it soon. “It’s obviously tough that we are both pretty stuck into our sport,” Cleary said. “I definitely want to in the future. I’d love for it to be with Mary, I just think she’d be the best mother but yeah we’ll see. “It’s not a rush at the moment but definitely in the future. I see that post-footy, I would love to have a little family of my own.” While Cleary has achieved it all in his sport, Fowler is just 21 and still coming into her own as a Manchester City star and Matildas leader. Cleary had earlier spoken of the strong relationships he has with his parents and three siblings. “I’m really lucky with my family. We’ve got such a great close-knit family,” he said. “My parents are still together and they’ve just taught us what caring and love is about. I’ve got three siblings, we’re always super close.”

UN envoy urges soil, water action

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump on Sunday pushed Russian leader Vladimir Putin to act to reach an immediate ceasefire with Ukraine, describing it as part of his active efforts as president-elect to end the war despite being weeks from taking office. “Zelensky and Ukraine would like to make a deal and stop the madness," Trump wrote on social media, referring to Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In a television interview that aired Sunday, Trump also said he would be open to reducing military aid to Ukraine and pulling the United States out of NATO . Those are two threats that have alarmed Ukraine, NATO allies and many in the U.S. national security community. Asked on NBC's “Meet the Press” if he were actively working to end the nearly 3-year-old Ukraine war, Trump said, “I am.” He refused to say if he had spoken to Putin since winning the election in November. “I don’t want to say anything about that, because I don’t want to do anything that could impede the negotiation,” Trump said. Trump's call for an immediate ceasefire went beyond the public policy stands taken by both the Biden administration and Ukraine and drew a cautious response from Zelenskyy. It also marks Trump's wading unusually deeply into efforts before his inauguration on Jan. 20 to resolve one of the major global crises facing the lame-duck Biden administration. Trump made his proposal after a weekend meeting in Paris with French and Ukrainian leaders in Paris, where many world leaders gathered to celebrate the restoration of Notre Dame cathedral after a devastating fire. None of the advisers traveling with him appeared to have expertise on Ukraine. Kyiv would like to close a deal, Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “There should be an immediate ceasefire and negotiations should begin.” “I know Vladimir well. This is his time to act. China can help. The World is waiting!” Trump added. He was referring to mediation efforts by China that many in the West have seen as favoring Russia. Zelenskyy described his discussions Saturday with Trump, brought together by French President Emmanuel Macron, as “constructive" but has given no further details. In a post Sunday on the Telegram messaging app, Zelenskyy cautioned that Ukraine needs a “just and robust peace, that Russians will not destroy within a few years.” “When we talk about an effective peace with Russia, we must talk first of all about effective peace guarantees. Ukrainians want peace more than anyone else. Russia brought war to our land,” Zelenskyy said. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded to Trump's post by repeating Moscow’s longstanding message that it is open to talks with Ukraine. Peskov referenced a decree by Zelenskyy from October 2022 that formally declared the prospect of any talks “impossible” as long as Putin was Russia's leader. That decree came after Putin proclaimed four occupied regions of Ukraine to be part of Russia, in what Kyiv and the West said was a clear violation of Ukrainian sovereignty. Trump’s former national security adviser, retired Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, warned there was no such thing as a quick fix to ending Russia’s war with Ukraine. “What I’m worried about is this kind of flawed idea that Putin can be placated, right, that Putin will come to some kind of a deal,” McMaster told “Fox News Sunday." “I think it’s really important for President Trump to adhere to his instinct in this connection ... peace through strength,” McMaster said, adding, “How about give them what they need to defend themselves, and then saying to Putin, ‘You’re going to lose this war?”’ While Trump has said before that he would like to see a quick ceasefire in Ukraine, his proposal Sunday was framed as a direct appeal to Russia. The quick responses from Ukraine and Russia demonstrated the seriousness with which they regarded the idea from the incoming American president. Both Trump and Biden administration officials have pointed to Russia’s disengagement in Syria , where the Russian military largely moved out of the way in recent days as Syrian rebels overthrew the country’s Russian-allied president , as evidence of the extent to which the Ukraine war has sapped Russia’s resources. The Biden administration and other supporters of Ukraine have made a point of not being seen to press Ukraine for an immediate truce. Ukraine's allies fear a quick deal would be largely on the terms of its more powerful neighbor, potentially forcing damaging concessions on Ukraine and allowing Russia to resume the war again once it has built back up its military strength. For most of the war, Kyiv’s official position has been to call for a full withdrawal of Russian troops from internationally recognized Ukrainian territory, including Crimea, as a condition for peace talks. Moscow, too, has demanded heavy concessions from Ukraine as a condition for even beginning talks. Trump portrays himself as up to making fast deals to resolve conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East that have frustrated many of the Biden administration's own mediation efforts. There is no prohibition on incoming officials or nominees meeting with foreign officials, and it is common and fine for them to do so — unless those meetings are designed to subvert or otherwise affect current U.S. policy. The Logan Act bars private citizens from trying to intervene in “disputes or controversies” between the United States and foreign powers without government approval. But the 1799 statute has produced just two criminal cases, none since the 1850s and neither resulting in a criminal conviction. In the NBC interview that was taped Friday, Trump renewed his warning to NATO allies that he did not see continued U.S. participation in the Western military alliance as a given during his second term. Trump has long complained that European and the Canadian governments in the mutual-defense bloc are freeloading on military spending by the U.S., by far the most powerful partner in NATO. NATO and its member governments say a majority of countries in the bloc are now hitting voluntary targets for military spending, due in part to pressure from Trump in his first term. Asked whether he would consider the possibility of pulling out of NATO, Trump indicated that was an open question. “If they’re paying their bills, and if I think they’re treating us fairly, the answer is absolutely I’d stay with NATO,” he said. But if not, he was asked if he would consider pulling the U.S. out of the alliance. Trump responded, “Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely.” Trump expressed the same openness when asked if Ukraine should brace for possible cuts in U.S. aid. “Possibly,” he said. U.S. arms and other military support are vital to Ukraine's efforts to fend off invading Russian forces, and Democratic President Joe Biden has been surging assistance to Ukraine ahead of leaving office. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Saturday announced nearly $1 billion more in longer-term weapons support to Ukraine. Austin spoke to his Ukrainian counterpart, Rustem Umerov, on Sunday about the status of the war and U.S. military backing, the Pentagon said. — Koslowska reported from London.

President Joe Biden mourns Jimmy Carters death, orders official state funeral to honor himTALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A state attorney in Florida told his staff he can’t legally help his elected replacement take over his seat because Gov. Ron DeSantis had already suspended the Democrat from the office, according to an internal email obtained by The Associated Press. An executive order issued by DeSantis in 2023 suspending then-State Attorney Monique Worrell from office is still in effect, argued state attorney Andrew Bain in a message sent to staff on Monday. The governor appointed Bain to the 9th Judicial Circuit to replace Worrell, who beat him in last month’s election to retake the Orlando metro area’s top prosecutor’s office. “While I accept the results of the election and wish to do everything I can to ensure the Office is successful going forward, I do not yet feel I can assist her in that transition,” Bain wrote. Worrell’s new term is slated to begin Jan. 7, 2025. She is one of two elected state attorneys, both Democrats, who DeSantis has removed from office. Worrell failed to prosecute minors and didn’t seek mandatory minimum sentences for gun crimes, putting her central Florida district in danger. She disputed his criticism as false and . across the U.S. have called Democratic prosecutors’ decisions into question. Bain said in the email shared with the AP that Worrell’s suspension must be resolved by either another executive order by DeSantis or a decision by the Florida Senate, which reviews the cases of elected officials suspended from office. “Without one of these things, I do not feel I can lawfully assist in a transition to an individual whose lawful suspension was ,” Bain wrote. “We are living through an unprecedented legal event without clear answers.” Representatives for Bain did not respond to phone and email inquiries from the AP. A statement posted to the state attorney’s website Monday appeared to contradict Bain’s message to staff. “The state attorney is ready and willing to ensure a smooth transition,” reads a message released by the agency’s public information office. “The state attorney’s term ends Jan. 6, 2025, and he will no longer be in office. Ms. Worrell’s term will begin Jan. 7, 2025. It is the intent of the state attorney to enforce the will of the people.” Worrell criticized Bain’s statements as a “betrayal of democratic principles” and argued that the executive order suspending her expired with the 2024 election. “No executive order, no political maneuver, and certainly no personal grievance can override the will of the people,” Worrell said in a statement. “Any delay in the transition process is a direct affront to the very people this office serves.” A spokesperson for DeSantis pointed to the statement released by the state attorney’s public information office and didn’t respond to other questions from the AP. ___ Kate Payne is a corps member for The Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative. is a nonprofit national service program that places journalists in local newsrooms to report on undercovered issues.

No snow. No Myles Garrett WWE-style trash-talking interviews. No George Pickens dust-ups at the end of the game. No Pickens at all , actually . He was out with a hamstring injury. In other words, Game 2 between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns couldn’t have been more different from Game 1 in Cleveland on Nov. 21. That goes all the way to the final score. The Browns won the first edition 24-19. The Steelers took the rematch 27-14 Sunday at Acrisure Stadium. That means Cleveland still hasn’t swept the Steelers in a season series since 1988, and the Browns haven’t won in Pittsburgh during the regular seasons since 2003. Part of their undoing Sunday were ill-timed turnovers, poor coaching decisions on possession downs, and nine penalties, many of which were post-whistle or pre-snap brain cramps. So I guess while some things change, others never do. Here’s this week’s “ Feats of Strengths ” and “ Airing of Grievances ” after the Steelers improved to 10-3 and the Browns sank to 3-10. Making the most of it : After a putrid first half on offense without Pickens, the Steelers adjusted and got in gear in the second half. As has often been the case this year, the Steelers were much better after halftime. They scored on their first two possessions of the third quarter, banging out scoring drives of eight plays for 67 yards and five plays for 46 yards. “W e simplified what we were doing — the runs that we wanted to stick to, getting ready for some zero blitz in gotta-have-it moments, ” guard Isaac Seumalo said of the second-half approach. “ Kudos to the coaches. They had good second-half adjustments for us .” Quarterback Russell Wilson racked up 49 yards passing during that initial possession of the second half. He had only 46 yards in all of the first half. Pat Freiermuth was a key component on both drives. He had a 31-yard catch on a third-and-10 to keep the first drive alive. He caught a touchdown of 20 yards on the second drive. Better the second time around : The Steelers were eaten up along their offensive line of scrimmage in Cleveland, especially in the first half. They did a much better job Sunday in the rematch. “W atching the film, they were more aggressive than us in the first game. We wanted to come blazing and impose our will, ” tackle Dan Moore said. “ I think it was just a matter of executing up front, just the mindset that we went into this game with. I thought the coaches did a really good job with our game plan switching things up (without Pickens) right before game time .” Seumalo specifically credited Moore for his work against Garrett. He was silent for most of the day until the fourth quarter when he registered a fumble recovery and a sack on consecutive drives. He was credited with just three tackles on the day , and he was held without a sack. In fact, that was the only sack Wilson absorbed all day despite throwing 26 times. Making it tough : The Steelers defense made the Browns work hard for just about every yard they got. For the most part , they kept a lid on what the Browns did offensively. Through the first three quarters, Cleveland quarterback Jameis Winston was averaging less than 5 yards per pass attempt. “I thought we did a good job of bottling up, not letting the extended plays beat us, ” defensive captain Cameron Heyward said. “ It was a coordinated rush. The outside (rushers) not getting too far upfield. The inside pressure understanding that you might have two gaps instead of one .” Running back Nick Chubb did pop a 19-yard run. Aside from that, though, he was limited to 29 yards on his other 10 attempts. Jerome Ford had only 28 yards on 10 carries. Notes of recognition : There were some individual standouts on defense, particularly Keeanu Benton. He had a key interception of Winston. With the Browns leading 7-3, the defensive lineman managed to pick off a pass after Beanie Bishop got in Winston’s face. The Steelers converted that turnover into a touchdown. Heyward also stood out with two sacks and five total tackles. In the secondary, DeShon Elliott had 13 total tackles and a pass breakup, and James Pierre had a fourth-quarter interception. As for cornerback Joey Porter Jr., he didn’t get flagged for any defensive holding or pass-interference penalties after drawing six last week. Porter did get one for shoving a Browns player after a first-half play, though. At the linebacker level, Patrick Queen had 10 tackles, Alex Highsmith had a sack in his return game after a three-game absence and T.J. Watt was strong in the run game with four tackles, even though he was held without a sack for the second time this year against the Browns. Back on track : The loss in Cleveland was one of the few times this year when the Steelers came out on the negative side of the special teams game. That wasn’t the case Sunday. Chris Boswell made both of his field-goal attempts, including one from 54 yards. Meanwhile, Dustin Hopkins missed both of his attempts. Corliss Waitman punted six times for an average of 52 yards, including a 60-yard effort. He also bombed a 58-yarder that drove returner Kadarius Toney back to his own 20. As he was backpedaling in an attempt to catch it, he fumbled and Ben Skowronek pounced on it. The Steelers gained a first down on that ensuing exchange of possession and were able to wind out the clock and win the game. AIRING OF GRIEVANCES Offensive offense : The passing attack in the first half was completely feckless without Pickens. Wilson was just 8 of 16 for 46 yards. The Browns were utterly unintimidated by any of his receiving options. Yet, the Steelers threw almost as many times (16) as they ran (17) in the first. That’s despite the fact that Najee Harris was averaging 5 yards per carry at halftime, and Jaylen Warren was at 4.8 yards per attempt. What we witnessed Sunday was exactly what critics of the Steelers have been saying for months about the wide receivers. There is no “ Plan A ” if Pickens ever gets hurt. Well, now he is hurt and the Steelers have no go-to guy on the route tree. The Steelers were wise to get rid of Diontae Johnson for Donte Jackson. However, they were silly to do so without any plan whatsoever to replace Johnson as a No. 2 option. Apparently, the best they could do is Mike Williams, and they only throw him the ball when they absolutely have to do so. The offensive coaches also made life even more difficult on themselves than they needed with some curious personnel usage. There was one drive in the first half when the Steelers faced a third down and had Calvin Austin, Freiermuth and Harris on the bench. Out of the locker room : The Steelers had a really bumpy start to begin the second half. Ford had a 56-yard kick return to open the third quarter. That was followed by Porter’s penalty on the next snap. Fortunately for the Steelers, they managed to avoid damage because Hopkins missed his second field goal of the day. Between Hopkins and Justin Tucker of Baltimore this year, those two are trying to regenerate Acrisure Stadium’s old reputation of being a horror show for kickers — except of course for the guy who kicks here every home game. Zebra zeros : The officials (and replay assist) had their negative moments as well . In the first quarter, referee Land Clark dropped the latest flag in the history of football after a third-down incompletion. The Steelers were lined up and ready to punt on fourth down before Clark got buzzed to drop an intentional grounding flag that had no impact on the result of the drive. On the next drive, Highsmith was hit for a typically bogus, typically soft roughing the passer call.A 51-year-old woman has died in hospital, more than a month after a fire damaged a home in Ottawa's west end.
