BIRMINGHAM, England, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Aston Villa had to settle for a 0-0 draw against depleted Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday after a last-gasp effort by Morgan Rogers was chalked off for a foul on Juventus keeper Michele Di Gregorio. Villa thought they had won it at the death to end a six-game winless streak when Di Gregorio failed to catch a free kick, but Diego Carlos fouled the Juventus keeper as Rogers was lashing the ball into the net, and boos poured out from Villa fans after the final whistle. The match was far from a classic, with Juventus seemingly content to keep possession, and both sides squandered chances, with Villa's best coming from Lucas Digne who hammered a free kick off the crossbar seconds before halftime. Midway through the second half, Francisco Conceicao's short-range header from a corner looked destined for the back of Villa's net but Villa's World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emi Martinez dived to get his fingertips to the ball. Television replays showed a mere sliver of the ball failed to cross the goalline. Villa captain John McGinn almost gave the home side the lead when he latched on to a pass from Leon Bailey in the 70th minute, but the Scotland international's shot was blocked by Manuel Locatelli. Unai Emery's Villa, who had kicked off their Champions League campaign with three victories and three clean sheets, are ninth in the table after five games. Their Italian visitors, who had are unbeaten in Serie A this season but had only 14 outfield players available on Wednesday, are 19th in the 36-team table. The top eight qualify automatically for the last 16, with the next 16 sides entering a two-leg playoff to try to join them. Victory would have been a big confidence boost for Emery's team, who have not won since their 2-0 Champions League victory over Bologna on Oct. 22 and have slipped to eighth in the Premier League table with one win in their last five games.

("Fireweed” or the "Company”) (TSXV: FWZ; OTCQX: FWEDF) is pleased to announce it has been awarded US$15.8 M (~C$22.5 M) from the U.S. Department of Defense and up to C$12.9 M from the Government of Canada in support of its critical minerals projects at Macmillan Pass, Yukon Territory. Highlights Peter Hemstead, President and CEO, commented: "The coordinated investments by the United States and Canadian governments underscore the critical importance and strategic value of Fireweed's mineral assets at Macmillan Pass. This joint announcement is a testament to the determination of both governments to unlock this new critical minerals district in Canada. In the coming months and years, our team will work to ensure our projects and the enabling infrastructure move forward in a way that respects rights-holders, provides benefits to communities in the region, and demonstrates how critical minerals can be developed responsibly.” Adam Lundin Statement Adam Lundin, Fireweed's Strategic Advisor, stated: "The emerging critical minerals district at Macmillan Pass is a profound opportunity to address key supply chain vulnerabilities of the North American industrial base. These investments are significant milestones on the path to advancing both Macpass and Mactung projects toward development.” Statement from the Honorable Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada's Minister of Energy and Natural Resources The Honorable Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada's Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, stated: "Canada is positioning itself as a global supplier of responsibly sourced critical minerals, which are increasingly in demand for the clean and digital economy as well as for defence applications. The Fireweed project will develop the necessary energy infrastructure to power multiple critical minerals mines and communities with clean energy. These investments by Canada and the United States build on our long history of friendship and collaboration, complement the region's deep expertise in mining, create good jobs in the Yukon and advance economic growth, now and into the future.” A Critical Minerals District at Macmillan Pass Macmillan Pass is an emerging critical minerals district (the "Macpass District”), with two immediately-adjacent, best-in-class critical mineral projects being advanced by Fireweed. The Macpass Project ("Macpass”) is a district-scale collection of high-grade zinc deposits, forming one of the largest undeveloped zinc resources globally, while also containing the world's largest known accumulation of germanium and gallium 1,2 . The Mactung Project ("Mactung”) is the world's largest, high-grade tungsten deposit 1 ,3 , with sufficient mineral resources to potentially supply North America's expected tungsten demand for decades. Macmillan Pass and the North Canol Road (the district's primary overland access) are located within Kaska Nation Traditional Territory and the Traditional Territory of the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyӓk Dun. The Mactung access road passes through the Sahtú Settlement Area (Tulı́tʼa District in the Northwest Territories), which include both First Nations and Métis communities. US Government Funding to Advance the Mactung Tungsten Project Fireweed has been awarded US$15.8 M (~C$22.5 M) by the U.S. Department of Defense under DPA Title III to advance its 100%-owned Mactung tungsten project toward a final investment decision. The objective of the DPA Title III funding is to progress Mactung to a final investment decision, a precursor to project construction and subsequent production of domestic tungsten concentrates for the North American industrial base. The award will support an expansive, Fireweed team-led program that includes mine design optimization, geotechnical investigations, and metallurgical test programs, culminating in the development of a new feasibility study. A range of environmental studies will be undertaken, supporting the pursuit of licenses and permits necessary to construct Mactung. The program builds on extensive past drilling at Mactung and an updated 2023 mineral resource estimate that supersedes a historical 2009 Feasibility Study. The project also benefits from a positive environmental assessment decision issued in 2014 by Yukon and Canadian Federal regulators. The DPA Title III award is non-dilutive to Fireweed shareholders and no commercial covenants are included in the award conditions that would impair Fireweed's current business nor its future sale of tungsten concentrates to the industrial base. Fireweed's own management team will lead the work and periodically report progress to administrators of the award. Canadian Government Funding to Advance the "North Canol Infrastructure Improvement Project” Fireweed will also receive up to C$12.9 M, pending final due diligence, from the Government of Canada through the Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund ("CMIF”) to lead planning efforts for infrastructure improvements that would serve the critical minerals district at Macmillan Pass. The CMIF funding will support Fireweed's implementation of the first phase (Phase I) of the "North Canol Infrastructure Improvement Project” ("NCIIP”), which includes developing preliminary designs for approximately 250 kilometers of road improvements, as well as upgrades to an existing transmission line between Faro and Ross River, and the construction of a new transmission line from Ross River to Macmillan Pass. The effort also includes seeking the consent of local Indigenous groups, completing necessary environmental assessment processes and facilitating multi-party project agreements necessary to advance NCIIP toward construction (Phase II). Fireweed anticipates NCIIP Phase II to be advanced through a collaboration of government, Indigenous groups and industry. Funding sources for NCIIP construction have yet to be determined but will likely involve 'stacking' a range of new and existing funding sources, potentially including previously announced Yukon Resource Gateway funding.

AP Sports SummaryBrief at 2:35 p.m. ESTSpeaking in a recent episode of 'Inside the NBA,' basketball legend Charles Barkley spoke up about LeBron James and the NBA's GOAT debate. According to Chuck, there isn't even an argument for LeBron given all that Michael accomplished during his time in the league. Ernie Johnson: "LeBron is 2nd in 30-point games with 559, Jordan has 562." Charles Barkley: "LeBron has played how many more seasons than MJ and he's still behind him that's crazy. I love LeBron but for him to be that far behind MJ and he's played eight more seasons? C'mon man, y'all need to stop this." Charles Barkley on Lebron being called the GOAT over MJ: Ernie: "Lebron is 2nd in 30pt games with 559, MJ has 562" Charles: "Lebron has played how many more seasons than MJ and hes still behind him thats crazy, yall need to stop this" Lebron is nothing but a stat padding... pic.twitter.com/WWHCaFo2CE We all know that LeBron is the king of longevity and after 21 years in the NBA, it's no surprise when he breaks a record that involves racking up the stats. With 559 30-point games for his career, one might think that LeBron James is the leader of that category but somehow, Michael still holds the top spot with 562 30-point games in much less time. This point is just one countless to be made on the debate surrounding LeBron James and Michael Jordan. As two of the greatest NBA legends, they are always being compared and fans are always discussing which one is more successful than the other. As a whole, the NBA GOAT debate has been raging for decades now, and Michael Jordan has been leading the conversation ever since his rise to power in the early 90s. On the court, the Bulls legend was absolutely unstoppable, and his unmatched skills, athleticism, and drive made him one of the biggest stars in basketball history. From 1984 to 2003, Jordan took the NBA by storm with 6 championships, 5 MVPs, 10 scoring titles, and 14 All-Star appearances. For his career, Michael averaged 30.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game on 49.7% shooting. With his career, LeBron James has come closer than anyone else to surpassing Jordan's legacy but he still has a ways to go. As a 4x champion, 4x MVP, James falls behind in several key categories despite playing almost twice as long as the Bulls superstar. It makes sense that LeBron, who frequently likes to take on more of a playmaking role, would score at a slower rate than Jordan --- but after 21 years, you'd expect LeBron to be way ahead of anyone when it comes to putting the ball through the net, especially as the NBA's all-time leading scorer. Instead, the numbers show that while LeBron has been scoring for longer, Michael scored with more frequency throughout his career and it's that same aggressive approach to the game that helped him have such a commanding presence on the court. So, while LeBron James may own the record books when it's all said and done, the fact that it took him this long to catch up says a lot about Jordan and how far ahead he was for his time. If his career was as long and durable as LeBron's, there would be no question that he's the GOAT but advances in sports medicine aren't nearly what they are now and we'll never get the chance to see it for ourselves.

Sky News Meteorologist Alison Osborne said Mildura and Swan Hill in Victoria were tipped to reach temperatures as high as 46C on Monday while areas like Broken Hill could hit 44C. “For parts of western NSW including Broken Hill, Griffith, Hay, Deniliquin, temperatures once again likely to exceed that 45C mark and again the hottest in at least four years,” Ms Osborne told Skynews.com.au. “Fire weather warnings are likely to be current from eastern parts of South Australia including the Mid North and the Riverland, and then into western and central Victoria including that Melbourne region. “So all of this hot, dry and windy weather is likely to be conducive to fire becoming fast-moving, unpredictable and uncontrollable.” Temperatures are set to soar on Saturday. Picture: Stormcast. HEATWAVE, FIRE DANGER WARNINGS Heatwave warnings are in place across NSW, ACT, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory over the weekend and into Monday, according to the Bureau of Meteorology. “Severe heatwaves can be dangerous for many people, especially older people, babies, children, pregnant and breastfeeding women, people with medical conditions and people who are unwell,” a Bureau of Meteorology alert stated. “Seek a place to keep cool, such as your home, a library, community centre or shopping centre. “Close your windows and draw blinds, curtains or awnings early in the day to keep the heat out of your home. “If available, use fans or airconditioners to keep cool.” Extreme fire danger warnings have been issued for Mallee, Wimmera, Northern Country, North Central, South West and Central Victoria on Monday. Heatwave warnings are in place across the country. Picture: NewsWire/ Monique Harmer Temperatures will rise through to Monday. Picture: Stormcast. Similar extreme fire danger warnings are in place across WA over Saturday and Sunday in Avon, Lockwood, Arthur, Roe, Lakes, Stirling North and Stirling West. For South Australia, extreme fire danger warnings have been issued for Riverland, Murraylands, Upper South East and Lower South East on Monday. High and moderate warnings are also in place across much of the country. “ALL ABOUT THE HEAT” Bureau of Meteorology meteorologist Jonathan How agreed it’s “all about the heat” for the south east and centre of the country this weekend due to a high pressure moving in. “We start to see those winds turn northerly, and that will bring some very hot air down across the centre and the south east of the country,” Mr How said. “This will drive both heat wave conditions and elevated fire dangers.” Temperatures are set to climb into the 30s and low 40s west of the divide of western Sydney with heatwave conditions on Saturday, while the temperature is set to be up to 6C above average in the ACT. Temperatures are tipped to reach low to mid-40s across much of the country. Picture: NewsWire/ Monique Harmer Maximum temperatures in Victoria are expected to be up to 4C above average on Saturday in the south and up to 10C higher in the northwest on Saturday. “We will also see high fire dangers, often in coastal sea breezes, including for Melbourne,” Mr How said. South Australia is also in for a scorcher. “It will get quite hot and warming up on Sunday for South Australia,” Mr How said. “Hot heat wave conditions across much of the state. Maximum temperatures up to 6C above average in the southeast, but up to 12C above average in the north.” Sydney is expected to reach 32C by Tuesday while Melbourne will soar to 41C on Monday. Brisbane is set to range between 28C and 30C with Perth set to hit a maximum of 35C over the next week. The heat is set to hit Adelaide even sooner with a forecast of 40C on Sunday. Hobart is expected to rise to 32C by Monday with Canberra set to hit 38C on the same day. Darwin’s week is set to range between 34C and 35C.

Winners and losers from CFP, bowl selections: The Big Ten’s smooth ride, SEC angst, cold-weather dreams, letdowns for UW, USC and moreMore than half of viral LinkedIn posts are AI-generated, new report revealsLOS ANGELES (AP) — If artists want to launch an album with a bang, “ Amazon Music Live” could be the end zone to score big. Some of the biggest performers in music — including Jelly Roll, Megan Thee Stallion, Ed Sheeran , Kane Brown , Peso Pluma and Lil Baby — have graced the live stage during the weekly concert series in Los Angeles that airs after the NFL's “Thursday Night Football” game on Prime Video. Each show is a unique experience with artists debuting new music on bespoke sets created to bring their vision and style to life. This season's highlights have included J Balvin 's Latin vibe, Halsey 's Halloween circus intro and Gunna's big money talk. Big Sean was joined onstage by North Carolina A&T State University’s marching band, and Jhene Aiko , YG and E-40 made guest appearances. Now, it's Snoop Dogg 's turn to take the mic for “AML's” season finale this week, just ahead of his highly anticipated 20th album, “Missionary,” dropping next month. The performances are filmed live in front of more than a thousand audience members and streamed on Prime Video and Amazon's streaming platform, Twitch. Jelly Roll, a Grammy-nominated country singer, was the “AML” season opener in October just days after the release of his 10th studio album, “Beautifully Broken.” His special guests included Keith Urban , Skylar Grey and Machine Gun Kelly . “We could have planned our whole rollout around this,” Jelly Roll said. “I’m always excited to try to share what I do in front of new audiences or hope a new audience sees it or maybe the people at home who couldn’t see the tour or people who bought the album and see what it’s all about.” Last week, TWICE expanded their brand beyond their usual K-pop fandom after the Cleveland Browns upset the Pittsburgh Steelers. The nine-member group made Amazon Music history. The concert livestream earned the most unique viewers of any production — including Kendrick Lamar's “Pop Out” concert in June, and the Ye and Drake “Free Larry Hoover” show in 2021. “We’re normally used to performing just for our fans who are purposely coming to see us — especially in the U.S. where we are used to doing that,” said singer Nayeon, who was accompanied by group members Momo, Tzuyu, Mina, Minatozaki Sana, Dahyun, Jihyo, Jeongyeon and Chaeyoung. TWICE has performed inside major stadiums like MetLife and SoFi Stadium. But “AML” helped introduce them to first-time listeners, while also promoting their upcoming 14th mini-album “Strategy,” releasing Dec. 6. “For ‘Amazon Music Live,’ it’s not just about our fans, but it’s rather related to football,” Nayeon said. “It’s a lot of football fans to see us. To be invited here to perform is such an honor. We need to keep our game card for people to know who TWICE is.” Here's a behind-the-scenes look at how the concert series comes to life and those who play a key role. When Jelly Roll first entered the “AML” set, the singer thought it was just another rehearsal — until he found himself immersed in an unexpected interactive experience before stepping on the main stage. “I was overwhelmed. Got nervous,” said Jelly Roll, who was floored after he initially walked through the Tailgate Experience at the East End Studios in Glendale, California, where “AML” films season three. The experience offers a variety of attractions including flat-screen TVs above a massive circular bar, a spacious VIP section, photo booth, themed locker room, digital bonfire, featured vehicle, jersey patch station and a towering football toss game. All of this is set to the music of the week's concert series performer blasted through loudspeakers. “I wanted a space that was intentional and inclusive to everybody,” said Jameka Pankey, the head of events and experiential for artists at Amazon Music. She and her team wanted to make a concerted effort to pay homage to performers and the fans who enjoy their work. “We thought about all aspects of football and tailgating from fellowship, food and even how we were naming the drinks,” Pankey said. “When we were giving away gifts to fans. ... We had to do jerseys. I wanted this to be a fan experience that was out of mind.” Mission accomplished. At Amazon Music, collaboration has fueled success with departments joining forces to lock in the hottest talent of the week. But predicting a year out? That's a tough play when album releases are anyone's guess. They use their label connections and instincts to keep them ahead of the game and ready to pivot and lockdown the artist with the next big release. “We try to really be as genre agnostic and diverse as possible,” said Kirdis Postelle, global head of content and artist marketing at Amazon Music. She works with Andrew Sexton, who handles booking for “AML.” “Our team, along with myself, are active in conversations about this program,” said Sexton, who is considered a label relations guru. Some of the selling points to attract artists have been to capitalize off the NFL's huge viewership, promote their project and perform with top-notch production. “We're very active," he said. "We're always in communications with artist's teams and people are reaching out to us too. ... We're in constant conversations with the industry." Following a high-stakes “Thursday Night Football” matchup is plenty of pressure. But pulling off a live major concert after a big NFL showdown? That’s next-level intensity. “It’s the challenge which is fungible start time,” said Ed Walker, the head of video studios at Amazon Music. He played an integral role in the concert series moving from a shared studio lot in Hollywood to now filming at East End Studios — a complex with more than 96,000-square-feet of space, including two soundstages, a rooftop terrace, green rooms and three stories of office space. After the game wraps, there’s an hour preshow on Twitch and a top-of-show segment that takes audiences into the artist’s world. The hope is to create a “closer connection” before their performance, introducing more insight into the artist’s project. There are sweepstakes and competitions to maintain intrigue. “We immerse them into what they are about to see,” he said. “That is a moving target. You have a very large audience watching football, and then we have direct communications to the control room broadcasting that and they are giving us real time updates.” Walker admits it’s a tough balancing act, keeping the football audience engaged while also entertaining “AML” viewers before the show kicks off. “We got to meet in the middle, entertain them all, give them context and start the show,” he said. “While all that’s happening, we have to make sure the artist is on the stage and hits the cue on time.” While artists are rehearsing, Postelle wants to make sure they’re comfortable and don't leave. That led to the idea of an artist experience with food, games, drinks and privacy. “We do that to make artists feel good about spending so much time here,” Postelle said. “The last thing you want is for somebody to be like ‘I’m going back to the hotel to take a shower’ and they fall asleep. Then we’ll have a big problem.” Each week, select customers in the Los Angeles area are invited to purchase $15 tickets for that week's performance during an exclusive superfan presale or general onsale. Live events company DICE tracks upcoming events and uses audience targeting based on fan interests to notify potential attendees.
