LONDON — A woman who claimed mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor "brutally raped and battered" her in a Dublin hotel penthouse was awarded nearly 250,000 Euros ($257,000) on Friday by a civil court jury in Ireland. Nikita Hand said the Dec. 9, 2018, assault after a night of partying left her heavily bruised and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. McGregor testified that he never forced the woman to do anything against her will and said she fabricated the allegations after the two had consensual sex. His lawyer had called Hand a gold digger. The fighter, once the face of the Ultimate Fighting Championship but now past his prime, shook his head as the jury of eight women and four men found him liable for assault after deliberating about six hours in the High Court in Dublin. He was mobbed by cameras as he left court but did not comment. He later said on the social platform X that he would appeal the verdict and the "modest award." Hand's voice cracked and her hands trembled as she read a statement outside the courthouse, saying she would never forget what happened to her but would now be able to move on with her life. She thanked her family, partner, friends, jurors, the judge and all the supporters that had reached out to her online, but particularly her daughter. "She has given me so much strength and courage over the last six years throughout this nightmare to keep on pushing forward for justice," she said. "I want to show (her) and every other girl and boy that you can stand up for yourself if something happens to you, no matter who the person is, and justice will be served." The Associated Press generally does not name alleged victims of sexual violence unless they come forward publicly, as Hand has done. Under Irish law, she did not have the anonymity she would have been granted in a criminal proceeding and was named publicly throughout the trial. Her lawyer told jurors that McGregor was angry about a fight he had lost in Las Vegas two months earlier and took it out on his client. "He's not a man, he's a coward," attorney John Gordon said in his closing speech. "A devious coward and you should treat him for what he is." Gordon said his client never pretended to be a saint and was only looking to have fun when she sent McGregor a message through Instagram after attending a Christmas party. He said Hand knew McGregor socially and that they had grown up in the same area. She said he picked her and a friend up in a car and shared cocaine with them, which McGregor admitted in court, on the way to the Beacon Hotel. Hand said she told McGregor she didn't want to have sex with him and that she was menstruating. She said she told him "no" as he started kissing her but he eventually pinned her to a bed and she couldn't move. McGregor put her in a chokehold and later told her, "now you know how I felt in the octagon where I tapped out three times," referring to a UFC match when he had to admit defeat, she said. Hand had to take several breaks in emotional testimony over three days. She said McGregor threatened to kill her during the encounter and she feared she would never see her young daughter again. Eventually, he let go of her. "I remember saying I was sorry, as I felt that I did something wrong and I wanted to reassure him that I wouldn't tell anyone so he wouldn't hurt me again," she testified. She said she then let him do what he wanted and he had sex with her. A paramedic who examined Hand the next day testified that she had never before seen someone with that intensity of bruising. A doctor told jurors Hand had multiple injuries. Hand said the trauma of the attack had left her unable to work as a hairdresser, she fell behind on her mortgage and had to move out of her house. Police investigated the woman's complaint but prosecutors declined to bring charges, saying there was insufficient evidence and a conviction was unlikely. McGregor, in his post on X, said he was disappointed jurors didn't see all the evidence prosecutors had reviewed. He testified that the two had athletic and vigorous sex, but that it was not rough. He said "she never said 'no' or stopped" and testified that everything she said was a lie. "It is a full blown lie among many lies," he said when asked about the chokehold allegation. "How anyone could believe that me, as a prideful person, would highlight my shortcomings." McGregor's lawyer told jurors they had to set aside their animus toward the fighter. "You may have an active dislike of him, some of you may even loathe him – there is no point pretending that the situation might be otherwise," attorney Remy Farrell said. "I'm not asking you to invite him to Sunday brunch." The defense said the woman never told investigators McGregor threatened her life. They also showed surveillance video in court that they said appeared to show the woman kiss McGregor's arm and hug him after they left the hotel room. Farrell said she looked "happy, happy, happy." McGregor said he was "beyond petrified" when first questioned by police and read them a prepared statement. On the advice of his lawyer, he refused to answer more than 100 follow-up questions. The jury ruled against Hand in a case she brought against one of McGregor's friends, James Lawrence, whom she accused of having sex with her in the hotel without consent.

Eileen Collins didn’t want to put her life on the big screen. Standing on the dimly lit stage at the IFC Center in Greenwich Village at the premiere of a feature-length documentary about her life and career as an astronaut, Collins admitted that she first turned down the idea behind the film. “In the end, I said yes to the documentary because I have to tell myself, it’s not just about me,” Collins told the audience. “But I thought my story, because of where I came from and that we didn’t have money when I was a kid...that it was important for me not to worry about my privacy and to get my story out.” Indeed, it’s not your typical astronaut story. Filmmaker Hannah Berryman explains that Collins’ unique background inspired her to tell the story of the first American woman to pilot and command NASA’s Space Shuttle in the new documentary Spacewoman . The film is partly based on Collins’ autobiography, Through the Glass Ceiling to the Stars, and it details the astronaut’s journey towards making history, the perils faced along the way, and how she broke barriers in a strongly male-dominated field. “When I was very young and first started reading about astronauts, there were no women astronauts,” Collins told Gizmodo. The former NASA astronaut grew up in Elmira, New York with a dream of becoming a pilot. Although money was tight, Collins worked several jobs to save enough for flying lessons. She joined the U.S. Air Force in 1978, just three years after a new policy allowed women to train as pilots. Around that same time, NASA selected the first class of astronauts that included women. Six out of the 35 astronaut candidates were women, and they were preparing for the space agency’s Space Shuttle program. Sally Ride became the first American woman to go to space in 1989 on board the Space Shuttle Challenger. A year later, Collins joined NASA and first flew the Space Shuttle as a pilot in 1995. That marked the first time a woman had piloted the shuttle, and the mission included the spacecraft’s first approach to the Russian Space Station Mir. In 1998, Collins was named as the commander of the Space Shuttle mission to deploy the Chandra X-Ray Observatory in orbit, making her the first woman to command the reusable spacecraft. This wasn’t an ordinary mission—it was NASA’s so-called “Return to Flight” mission as it took place around a year after the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, which killed all seven astronauts on board the spacecraft as it broke apart during reentry through Earth’s atmosphere. “I knew that this mission was going to be my last mission, even before we had the accident,” Collins said. “I had no idea it would turn into what it turned into.” Collins’ crew was five weeks away from launch when the Columbia tragedy took place. Rather than backing down from the mission, the incident made Collins more determined to command the shuttle for the nation’s return to space. “I walked into my training manager’s office and I said, I’m going to fly this mission, it’s going to be safe...because I knew if I had just quit, it would have sent the worst message,” Collins said. The documentary delves into the astronaut’s personal life and how those monumental decisions in spaceflight history affected her family of four, particularly her seven-year-old daughter at the time. The film highlights the challenges Collins faced in maintaining her relationship with her daughter, Bridget Youngs, while preparing for space missions. It also reflects on Collins’ own relationship with both her parents, and the conditions of her upbringing that shaped her into the resilient woman she became. Initially scheduled for liftoff in January 1999, the Space Shuttle Discovery finally launched on July 25, 2005 as NASA spent years researching and implementing safety upgrades for the spacecraft. It still wasn’t enough; debris struck Discovery during its launch and pieces of foam broke off the external tank of the space shuttle. This was the same issue that led to the tragic loss of Columbia, but Collins was determined that her crew would not meet the same fate. As Discovery approached Mir, Collins performed a 360-degree flip, exposing the spacecraft’s belly to the astronauts on board the space station so that they could photograph its protective thermal tiles. The images were downlinked to ground control, revealing two areas where gap fillers were protruding from the shuttle. Three spacewalks were carried out to extract the fillers, and Discovery was cleared to return to Earth a day later. The space shuttle landed on August 20, 2005, bypassing an original landing date of August 8, 2005. The documentary showcases the exceptional skill Collins needed to execute this first-of-a-kind maneuver, with control systems on the space shuttle being mostly manual at the time. “The Space Shuttle was designed in the 1970s, and the pilots and commanders had to know every single circuit breaker, every switch—they had to know how to run all those procedures, some of them by memory,” Collins said. “It took years and years of memorization, and sometimes the wrong switch could ka-boom, so we had to be very, very careful.” “With the advent of all the technology that we have today, the new spacecraft are fully automatic, you can sit in the pilot’s seat and not be a certified pilot,” Collins added. “So there’s good and bad, I think it’s good that it’s much safer, the automation could even diagnose a problem for you, but it’s not quite as exciting as being able to drive it yourself.” It’s been nearly 20 years since Collins felt the weightlessness of being in space, a feeling she clearly misses as she recalls flying to orbit and looking out onto Earth’s horizon (her least favorite thing being that there was no pizza in space). As she reflected on her retirement following the Discovery mission, Collins said, “It was sad to leave, I’d love to fly to space again. It’s really fun up there.”

China's Outbound Investment: A Closer Look - Current Economic Q&A Issue SevenWhile it is understandable that coaches have their preferred starting XI, the lack of opportunities for substitute players can have negative consequences on team morale, development, and overall performance. By not rotating the squad and giving playing time to all members of the team, Conte risks creating a divide between the starters and substitutes, which could affect team unity and cohesion in the long run.

(AP) — Austin Seibert missed his second extra point of the game with 21 seconds left after Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin connected on an 86-yard touchdown, Juanyeh Thomas returned the ensuing onside kick attempt for a touchdown and the Dallas Cowboys pulled out a 34-26 victory Sunday that extended the Washington Commanders’ skid to three games. Seibert, who missed the previous two games with a right hip injury, was wide left on the point-after attempt following a low snap. Thomas then took the kick back 43 yards as the Cowboys (4-7) ended their losing streak at five in improbable fashion. Part of that was the play of backup Cooper Rush, who threw for 247 yards and two TDs in his third start in place of starter Dak Prescott. Part was also the defense forcing two turnovers, as Chauncey Golston ripped the ball out of Brian Robinson Jr.’s hands for what was called an interception of Daniels in the second quarter, and Donovan Wilson stripped John Bates midway through the fourth. KaVonte Turpin provided the fireworks with a spinning, 99-yard kickoff return TD seconds after Daniels found Zach Ertz in the end zone and scored on a 2-point conversion to cut the deficit to three with 3:02 left. In the final three minutes alone, the Commanders (7-5) scored 10 points and allowed Thomas’ TD. All that after the score was 10-9 through three quarters before madness ensued. CHIEFS 30, PANTHERS 27 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes threw for 269 yards and three touchdowns, Spencer Shrader kicked a 31-yard field goal as time expired and Kansas City beat Carolina to reach double-digit wins for the 10th straight season. Noah Gray caught two TD passes as the Chiefs (10-1) bounced back from last week’s 30-21 loss at Buffalo and won at the buzzer yet again in a season of narrow escapes. DeAndre Hopkins also had a touchdown catch for the two-time defending Super Bowl champions, who scored on their first five possessions. Bryce Young finished 21 of 35 for 262 yards and a touchdown for the Panthers (3-8), who had their two-game winning streak snapped. David Moore had six receptions for 80 yards and a touchdown. Trailing 27-19, Young completed a fourth-down pass to Adam Thielen to move the chains, then went deep for the veteran receiver, who drew a pass-interference penalty on Chamarri Conner. That set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Chuba Hubbard. LIONS 24, COLTS 6 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for two scores and David Montgomery added a third touchdown run, leading Detroit to a victory over Indianapolis. Gibbs finished with 21 carries for 90 yards as the Lions (10-1) extended their league-high winning streak to nine straight. Detroit has its been 11-game record since the franchise’s inaugural season in 1934. Jared Goff continued his sensational season, too, completing 26 of 36 throws for 269 yards. The Colts (5-7) lost their second straight home game and for the fourth time in their past five games. Anthony Richardson was 11 of 28 with 172 yards while rushing 10 times for 61 yards. While Indy managed to hold the NFL’s highest-scoring offense largely in check Sunday, it was doomed by its inability to finish drives with touchdowns. BUCCANEERS 30, GIANTS 7 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Baker Mayfield catapulted into the end zone on a spectacular 10-yard scramble for one of Tampa Bay’s four rushing touchdowns, and the Buccaneers beat the Giants and new starting quarterback Tommy DeVito, snapping a four-game losing streak and extending New York’s skid to six. The Giants’ decisions this week to bench and then release quarterback Daniel Jones did nothing to help the NFL’s lowest-scoring offense. DeVito threw for 189 yards, mostly in the second half with New York well on its way to its sixth straight loss at home, where it is winless. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers dominated in every phase in a near-perfect perfect performance that featured TD runs of 1 yard by Sean Tucker, 6 yards by Bucky Irving and 1 yard by Rachaad White. After recent losses to the Ravens, 49ers and Chiefs, Tampa Bay (5-6) moved within one game of idle Atlanta in the NFC South. Tampa Bay scored on five of its on first six possessions to open a 30-0 lead, and none was more exciting than Mayfield’s TD run with 12 seconds left in the first half. On a second-and-goal from the 10, he avoided pressure and went for the end zone. He was hit by Cor’Dale Flott low and Dru Phillips high around the 2-yard line, and he was airborne when he crossed the goal line. The ball came loose when he hit the turf but he jumped up and flexed — seemingly mocking DeVito’s go-to celebration — as the Bucs took a 23-0 lead. DOLPHINS 34, PATRIOTS 15 MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Tua Tagovailoa threw for 317 yards and four touchdowns, including two scores to running back De’Von Achane, and Miami routed New England. The Dolphins (5-6) have a thin margin for error the rest of the season but have kept themselves afloat with a three-game winning streak. With their win at New England (3-9) in Week 5, the Dolphins have swept their division rivals in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1999-2000. Tagovailoa, who moved to 7-0 in his career against New England, entered the game with a league-high 73.4% completion rate and went 29 for 40. Backup Skylar Thompson replaced Tagovailoa with about 11 minutes left in what was already a blowout, but a bad handoff on his first play resulted in a fumble that was recovered by cornerback Christian Gonzalez and returned 63 yards for a touchdown. It cut New England’s deficit to 31-15, and Tagovailoa returned the next drive. TITANS 32, TEXANS 27 HOUSTON (AP) — Will Levis threw for 278 yards and his 70-yard touchdown pass to Chig Okonkwo put Tennessee on top in the fourth quarter and the Titans held on for a win over the Texans. Okonkwo grabbed a short pass and rumbled for the touchdown to put the Titans (3-8) up 30-27 with 9 1/2 minutes remaining. Safety Eric Murray missed a tackle that would have stopped him near midfield. The Texans (7-5) had a chance to tie it with less than two minutes remaining, but Ka’imi Fairbairn’s 28-yard field-goal attempt sailed wide left. He fell to the ground after the miss before getting up and slamming his helmet on the field. Titans coach Brian Callahan held both hands in the air and smiled after watching the miss that allowed his team to win on a day it had three turnovers. The Texans forced a three-and-out, but couldn’t move the ball after that and Harold Landry sacked C.J. Stroud in the end zone for a safety to make it 32-27 and allow Tennessee to snap a two-game skid. VIKINGS 30, BEARS 27, OT CHICAGO (AP) — Sam Darnold threw for 90 of his 330 yards in overtime to set up Parker Romo’s game-ending 29-yard field goal, and Minnesota outlasted Chicago after giving up 11 points in the final 22 seconds of regulation. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Darnold threw two touchdown passes, Jordan Addison caught eight passes for a career-high 162 yards and a touchdown, and T.J. Hockenson had 114 yards receiving for the Vikings (9-2), who remained one game behind Detroit in the rugged NFC North. Caleb Williams threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns for the Bears (4-7), who lost their fifth straight. Minnesota appeared to have the game in hand, leading 27-16 with 1:56 left after Romo kicked a 26-yard field goal. But the Bears weren’t finished. Deandre Carter made up for a muffed punt that led to a touchdown in the third quarter with a 55-yard kickoff return to the 40. Williams took it from there, capping an eight-play drive with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Keenan Allen. A 2-point conversion pass to DJ Moore made it 27-24 with 22 seconds remaining. The Bears recovered the onside kick and Williams hit Moore over the middle for a 27-yard gain to the 30 before spiking the ball. Cairo Santos made a 48-yard field goal as time expired.
