Series record: Virginia Tech leads 61-38-5. WHAT’S AT STAKE? The annual Commonwealth Cup rivalry game has a little more on the line this year as both teams need a win to become bowl eligible. For the Hokies, that’s a disappointing position to be in. Coming off a year where it won five of its last seven games – including a 55-17 annihilation of UVA in Charlottesville – and with most of its lineup returning, Tech fancied itself a dark horse for the College Football Playoff. Instead, it’s lost three in a row and might be without quarterback Kyron Drones. For Virginia, being a win away from its first bowl appearance under Tony Elliott has renewed enthusiasm about the direction of the program. The Cavaliers were picked to finish next-to-last in the ACC during the preseason. KEY MATCHUP Last week, Virginia gave up nine sacks of quarterback Anthony Colandrea to SMU and the Hokies allowed Duke to drop Pop Watson seven times. This game may come down to which offensive line can protect its QB the best. While both teams have struggled to block people, Virginia Tech has been far more successful at getting to opposing quarterbacks. Its 31 sacks are seventh most in the ACC, while Virginia’s 17 rank next to last. PLAYERS TO WATCH Virginia: WR Malachi Fields. A year ago, Fields scored Virginia’s only two touchdowns in the 55-17 rivalry loss, both in the second half. In what could be his final game playing for his hometown school, he enters the game ranked ninth in program history in receiving yards and needs two receptions to move into the top 10 in catches. Fields has caught a pass in 26 straight games. Virginia Tech: DE Antwaun Powell-Ryland. “APR,” who transferred from Florida before the 2023 season, is tied for the ACC lead with 13 sacks and leads the conference with 16 tackles for loss. He has twice had four sacks in a game, against both Old Dominion and Boston College, and is the first Tech player to post a double-digit sack total since 2005.

Vietnam Welcomes New Era of Sustainable Manufacturing with Recover’s Latest Facility
Western countries including the United States assailed Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov over the war in Ukraine on Thursday at an annual meeting of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe in Malta. Ukraine dominated the foreign ministers' meeting politically although envoys were also due to formally approve agreements on issues including senior staff positions at the security and rights body, where Western powers often accuse Russia of flouting human rights and other international norms. "My message to the Russian delegation is the following: We are not taken in by your lies. We know what you're doing. You're trying to rebuild the Russian empire and we will not let you. We will resist you every inch of the way," Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said in a speech. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha told the meeting that his country was continuing to fight for its right to exist. "And the Russian war criminal at this table must know: Ukraine will win this right and justice will prevail," he said. Sikorksi, Sybiha and others left the room for Lavrov's speech, as often happens at international meetings, and Lavrov was absent when U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken delivered his speech. This was Lavrov's first visit to a European Union member state since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Moscow has often blamed the West for the war. "I regret that our colleague Mr Lavrov has left the room, not giving the courtesy to listen to us as we listened to his. And of course, our Russian colleague is very adept at drowning listeners in a tsunami of misinformation," Blinken said in his speech to the meeting. Lavrov and Blinken were not scheduled to meet. The OSCE gathering of foreign ministers and other officials from 57 participating states in North America, Europe and Central Asia is overshadowed by the imminent return to the White House of Donald Trump, whose advisers are floating proposals to end the war that would cede large parts of Ukraine to Russia. With Trump due to take office next month, Western powers reiterated their support for Ukraine and Russia renewed its criticism of the OSCE, which Lavrov said last year was "essentially being turned into an appendage of NATO and the European Union". In his speech, Lavrov likened the current situation to the Cold War, saying there was a greater risk of it becoming "hot". "We do not want to attack anyone. The United States ... are waging war against us by using the Ukrainian neo-Nazi forces. They supply them with weapons, they help them to use long-range weapons against our territory," Lavrov told a news conference afterwards. Western states and Ukraine reject the Nazi analogy. The OSCE is the successor to a body set up during the Cold War for the east and west to engage with each other. In recent years, especially since Russia invaded Ukraine, Moscow has used what is in effect a veto each country has to block decisions. This year, Armenia and Azerbaijan are blocking the OSCE budget, diplomats say, over issues related to their conflict in the mountainous territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. Diplomats say a deal was reached this week to fill four senior OSCE positions including that of secretary general, which will be taken up by Turkey's Feridun Sinirlioglu, who was foreign minister in a caretaker government in 2015. The most important annual decision - which country will next hold the OSCE's annually rotating chairmanship - has long been settled. Finland will hold it for the 50th anniversary of the Helsinki Final Act that lay the foundation for the current OSCE.For some time now there’s been widely reported rumors that Tom Hardy’s Venom will appear in the upcoming fourth “Spider-Man” film. Those reports claimed the movie would see Spider-Man and Venom team up to take on Knull, God of the Symbiotes who briefly appeared in “Venom: The Last Dance”. However all that has been pure speculation with no indications of it being anything more. Fuel was added to the fire today as an apparent Sony Pictures Japan press release, still up now on the , may have inadvertently indicated plans are for Tom Holland and Tom Hardy to team-up on screen. Published on November 8th, has discovered that a section of the release translates to: “Tom Holland, who plays Peter [Parker], has already given his stamp of approval to the story! ‘This will be a real movie that fans can respect!’ Is Tom Hardy, who plays Eddie in the ‘Venom’ series, ready to take part?” There’s another section that translates: “Although it is the last film in the series, he [Tom Hardy] said, ‘In fact, I should not say goodbye to Venom, but welcome to the final stage [The Last Dance]. Venom’s story is not over yet. He still has a lot to do,’ leaving the possibility of future depictions.” The garbled translation, and apparent mash-up of the press release with some sort of “Venom: The Last Dance” promotion, has generated enough discussion to be a trending topic on social media – even as it offers nothing in the way of any real confirmation. That said, as the outlet does point out, different international arms of Sony Pictures inadvertently dropped hints that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s would return in “Spider-Man: No Way Home” in the lead up to release – hints which turned out to be correct. Filming on the fourth “Spider-Man” is expected to get underway in the Summer ahead of a 2026 release.
