ITV's I'm A Celeb's Coleen Rooney exposes co-stars' lies as fans say 'Wagatha is back'Colts QB Anthony Richardson ruled out for Sunday's game against the GiantsMartinez had gone eight matches since last finding the back of the net against Venezia on November 3 but after Alessandro Bastoni opened the scoring in the 54th minute, the Argentina international struck in Sardinia. The Inter captain took his tally against Cagliari to 10 goals in as many games after 71 minutes before Hakan Calhanoglu capped an excellent night for the visitors from the penalty spot a few moments later. Inter’s fifth-successive league victory led to them temporarily leapfrogging Atalanta, who reclaimed top spot but saw their lead cut to a single point following a 1-1 draw at Lazio. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side were grateful for a point in the end after falling behind to Fisayo Dele-Bashiru’s first-half strike, only drawing level with two minutes remaining thanks to Marco Brescianini. Lautaro Valenti’s last-gasp strike condemned rock-bottom Monza to a 10th defeat in 18 matches as Parma edged a 2-1 victory, while Genoa defeated Empoli by the same scoreline.

Reducing the carbon footprint of major exports has become more doable as other nations introduce emission charges at their borders, the head of Australia's carbon leakage review says. Login or signup to continue reading "Carbon leakage" is not a very helpful term because it makes people think it's about something leaking from a pipeline," professor of environmental and climate change economics Frank Jotzo told AAP. "Really it's about carbon competitiveness - that's a better label for it, but that's not the nerdy, technical label it has," Professor Jotzo said. His review focused on the risk of the displacement of jobs and emissions offshore and the feasibility of an Australian carbon border adjustment mechanism. The 2024 review examined ways to sustain Australia's heavy industries in the long term, and make sure local production is not disadvantaged compared to imports from other countries where there is not an equivalent climate policy. Prof Jotzo said a "carbon border adjustment mechanism for a few select commodities and in a measured way" had been identified in the final report as the durable solution, and as a useful way to complement the safeguard mechanism. For almost a decade, Australia has relied on the so-called safeguard mechanism - under Labor and coalition governments - to encourage leading industries to stop increasing emissions and invest in decarbonisation. The review found subsidies for decarbonisation investment also had a role but were not a systematic solution to carbon leakage, and relied on public finance that might not always be available, Prof Jotzo said. Britain and the European Union are introducing levies on carbon-intensive products, which sparked fresh discussions - and support from some industry groups - for Australia to have a version of what is known as a carbon border adjustment mechanism or CBAM. Europe's CBAM may be irrelevant for Australia's major exporters but the main effect was to make it possible for other countries to consider a similar mechanism, according to Prof Jotzo. Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen commissioned the Jotzo review to assess and counter the risk of carbon leakage for Australian industries that produce a lot of heat - and therefore greenhouse gas emissions - during production. The existence of carbon leakage, even if at moderate levels, has important implications for economic, industrial and trade policy design, the OECD has warned . But calculations by the global economic body also suggested carbon leakage through international trade was offsetting "modest" domestic emission reductions by aluminium, cement and steel plants. "The main commodities in the spotlight are the heavy industrial commodities where the carbon emissions are high compared to the volume of the product - cement and pre-products like clinker and lime, steel, and ammonia," Prof Jotzo said. "Australia imports these things and we make them ourselves and they are part of the safeguard mechanism in terms of reducing the baseline emissions rates for their production in Australia." Most countries that Australia imports from do not have similar obligations, so that introduces an imbalance that needs to be deal with in some way, he said. There are special provisions in place under the safeguard mechanism for the more trade-exposed heavy industries, which means their facilities are required to reduce baseline emissions less than plants. "But that's complicated and not necessarily the solution you want for the long term," Prof Jotzo said. "It's constantly contested and creates the ongoing need to check whether the bandaid is still the proper size." Labor is expected to stall on adopting the recommendations. Nor has the coalition declared a position, with the latest opinion poll deadlocked heading into the 2025 election. Australian Associated Press DAILY Today's top stories curated by our news team.

'Best game of season' - Newcastle give Liverpool rivals hopesuperstar 's home was burglarized Friday night, the latest in a series of break-ins at the homes of high-profile athletes, his business manager, Lara Beth Seager, told ESPN. "No one was home at the time, and thankfully Luka and his family are safe," Seager said. "Luka has filed a police report, and an investigation is ongoing." The burglary added to a difficult week for Doncic, who sustained a strained left calf during the Mavericks' Christmas Day loss to the .

The NFL and NBA issued security alerts to players after the previous break-ins, urging them to take additional precautions to secure their homes. In league memos previously obtained by The Associated Press, the NFL said homes of professional athletes across multiple sports have become "increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups." The NBA revealed that the FBI has connected some burglaries to "transnational South American Theft Groups" that are "reportedly well-organized, sophisticated rings that incorporate advanced techniques and technologies, including pre-surveillance, drones, and signal jamming devices."

Donald Hand Jr. racked up a career-high 29 points and 10 rebounds to help Boston College stave off visiting Fairleigh Dickinson 78-70 on Saturday in Chestnut Hill, Mass. Chad Venning added 18 points on 8-for-10 shooting and Dion Brown contributed eight points, eight rebounds and four assists as the Eagles (8-5) wrapped up their nonconference slate with just their second win in six games. Ahmed Barba-Bey, a grad transfer from Division II, exploded for a season-high 31 points to power FDU (4-11). Barba-Bey buried 8 of 9 attempts from the 3-point arc. Terrence Brown added 15 of his 20 points in the second half, as the Knights made it close before falling to 0-10 on the road this season. Bismark Nsiah scored 10 points. Boston College led 70-59 with 3:39 to play when Barba-Bey was fouled attempting a corner 3. He made all three of his foul shots, and after a stop Brown got to the bucket to cut FDU's deficit to six. It was 72-67 when Venning made a clutch turnaround jumper from the high post with 51 seconds left. Boston College let Barba-Bey get loose for his eighth 3-pointer, pulling FDU within four, its closest margin of the half. But Hand drove to the basket and scored with 29 seconds on the clock, and FDU was out of time. The Knights trailed by as many as 12 in the first half, but Barba-Bey kept them in the game. He made a fastbreak layup off Brown's steal and added a 3-pointer on the next possession, turning what was a 10-point deficit to a manageable 29-24 game. Boston College led 38-28 at halftime, with Hand scoring 15 for the hosts and Barba-Bey pouring in 16 for the Knights, including 4-of-5 shooting from deep. FDU pulled within nine points three times in the early stages of the second half, the third coming when Nsiah knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers to make it 56-47 with about 10 minutes to go. --Field Level MediaIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has Prostate CancerJuJu Watkins gave a young fan a memory and a memento she will never forget. During USC's clash against Paige Bueckers and UConn , Watkins set the tone early, helping the Trojans amass a lead that was 18 at one point. However, the Huskies came roaring back, tying the game at 67 with 2:24 remaining in the game, thanks to layup by Bueckers. In the end, USC pulled out a 72-70 win over UConn, with Watkins pouring in 25 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the field, six rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal in her 38 minutes of work. And while the star guard made fans watching at home happy by leading the Trojans to a win, Watkins made sure to make a court side fan's night as well. Longtime Miami basketball coach cites NIL deals as reason for stunning mid-season decision Angel Reese flooded with requests as NBA fans spot trend at games she attends As Watkins was leaving the court to head to the locker room, the 19-year-old began untying her shoes while looking at the crowd. Taking off her shoes, Watkins spotted a young fan standing with her family and walked to them, her Nike Kobe 6's in hand. The star then handed the fan her sneakers, leaving the young spectator stunned and seemingly on the verge of tears after her interaction with Watkins. USC's social media team caught the entire interaction, posting the clip with the caption: "JuJu gave her shoes to a fan after our game." Fans on social media applauded the move by Watkins, with one posting: "Awesome to see JuJu being awesome. That little girl just got an incredible Christmas present." Another posted: "One lucky little girl! You have a piece of History and historical player!!!!" Overall, while Watkins and the Trojans had a successful night against the Huskies, there was a moment which could have changed the entire outlook of the game . With USC up three in the waning moments of the game, UConn star Sarah Strong shot a 3-pointer in hopes of tying the game. While Strong ultimately missed her shot, Watkins fouled her on the attempt, giving the Huskies the opportunity to tie the game at the line. However, Strong missed two of her three attempts and then heaved a near-halfcourt shot that was wide right in hopes of winning the game after Bueckers batted the ball back out to the 3-point line. After the game, Watkins expressed how happy she was to see her opponent miss the two crucial free throws. "UConn, they're the toughest competitors," she said after the game to FOX Sports . "So we knew we had to get the dub. Coming off of last year, this was really important to me. I gave my all, this team gave their all. We fought to the end. "Man, I was praying [Strong] missed one. She's a really strong competitor. She's just so tough. So, glad she missed those. Because I know she's probably kicking herself in the foot but she's a phenomenal player." On the other side, Bueckers and UConn wore special sneakers to commemorate Huskies legend Sue Bird's collaboration with Nike.
The 54-year-old TV presenter revealed in 2021 that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and later underwent a mastectomy during which her breast plus two lymph glands were removed before reconstruction took place. Bradbury has since stopped drinking alcohol and has changed the priorities in her life, but revealed she has received some pushback on social media from sharing her approach. She told The Times Weekend magazine: “I wasn’t close to death, but death looked me in the eyes. So I am more focused on my health than I ever have been. “I don’t drink, I eat a healthy diet and exercise every day. “When I came home from my mastectomy, I promised I would spend time outside every day, and that is my mantra, however poor it might be in this shitty winter.” Bradbury, who has since been given the all-clear, said a doctor recently helped her reframe how she utilises her energy. She recalled: “He said, ‘This drive that you have – you’re running on a credit card. You can push through all sorts of things. But is that the best thing for you?’. “I realised you don’t have to win every race. You don’t have to overcome everything. I don’t want to max out the credit card.” The presenter previously discussed her experience in an ITV documentary, Julia Bradbury: Breast Cancer And Me, which followed her as she came to terms with her diagnosis and prepared to undergo her single mastectomy. She also regularly shares her wellness and fitness tips with her more than 270,000 Instagram followers. However, she revealed she has had pushback from people saying, “I was healthy, I go to the gym, I got cancer, and now its metastasised and I’ve got secondary cancer. So are you blaming me for my illness?”. A post shared by JULIA BRADBURY (@juliabradbury) Responding to the accusations, she added: “No. All I’m saying is, this is what I went through. It was a wake-up call, and it made me look at life differently. “It made me prioritise my sleep, emotional health, and give more time to my loved ones. “If I drink more than four units of alcohol a week, my risk of reoccurrence goes up by 28%. But people find me giving up drinking infuriating.” Bradbury, who has a 13-year-old son Zephyr, and nine-year-old twins Xanthe and Zena, said having children later in life has caused her to not be as “patient” as she feels she should be at times after becoming more set in her own ways. “People think that after you’ve got a cancer diagnosis, you become this beautiful angel with a halo, and a super mum and do everything right”, she added. “But no, you make the same mistakes. I lose my temper, and I can hear myself saying things that I can’t believe I’m saying. “None of us know what we’re doing, really. We’re just doing our best. I know they do have lots of love. They are told that they’re loved every day.”None
A t 5.00 a.m., my phone rang. “Amrit, we’ve been shortlisted for HackHarvard 2024,” announced my team-mate. I grabbed my laptop and checked my inbox. Sure enough, the top email read: “We are excited to accept and confirm your attendance. HackHarvard Team.” HackHarvard is an in-person Computer Science conference and hackathon held on Harvard’s campus in Boston, the U.S. Thousands of undergraduate students from across the globe apply by submitting a resume, and an essay about their past projects and their impact. Only a select few are accepted. I had heard about the event on LinkedIn just two months before this. My teammates — Surya Santosh Kumar, Chukka Navneet Krishna, Kottaki Srikar Vamsi — and I applied without much hope. When the news of our selection came in, we had only a month to get our visas sorted. We finally landed in Boston on a bright sunny but cold morning. The campus, with its lush green lawns and vintage buildings over 350 years old, gave off a charming, old-world vibe. The hackathon was to take place at the Student Organization Center (SOCH) at Hilles, with over 500 hackers from prestigious schools like MIT, Stanford, and Harvard, as well as countries like Greece, Egypt, China, Korea, and Japan. Choosing the track The hackathon tracks were announced on the first evening: Smart City (for tech innovations to make cities smarter and more efficient), Health-Care, Open Source Data (involving model training with data from organizations like NASA), and Sustainability. We decided to create something impactful for the environment, so we chose the Sustainability track. Hit by jet lag, we slept long and didn’t wake up until 10.00 a.m. on day two. We believe that building an app is pointless without a solid idea; so, we spent the next 10 hours brainstorming until we came up with Sustain-ify. One feature we envisioned was helping users make sustainable consumer choices. For example, in a supermarket, a user could record a video of a product label, and our app would analyse the ingredients, highlighting parameters like sodium, sugar, and fat content. Based on this and the manufacturing process, health pros and cons would be displayed. If a product was produced in a non-environmentally friendly way, we would highlight potential hazards and suggest alternatives. Challenge overcome At this point, we encountered an issue: the need to personalise health tips. That’s when our mentor, Dr. Premjith B., came to the rescue and suggested allowing users to upload medical reports like blood tests and other diagnostic results, which would allow tailored health insights based on individual data. For instance, if a user was allergic to peanuts and tried to buy a peanut bar, the app would alert them. The second feature was the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) function, where users could take pictures of empty soda cans, bottles, and other waste and upload them on the app, which would then suggest creative ideas to reuse or recycle. For example, if a user uploaded the image of a disposable plastic bottle, the app would suggest creating a bird feeder or a pen stand, with step-by-step instructions. A visualisation would give users a preview of the final product. After countless cups of caffeine and a sleepless night, we finished building the app and presented it to the judges. Boom! We won the First Best Hack Award, given to the best project in the event. That’s when I learnt that hard work, backed by a solid plan, will always lead to success.
