Mysterious googly eyes go viral after appearing on public art in OregonSHAUN GOATER has taken charge of Aston Villa's women's side following the sacking of Robert de Pauw. The Manchester City legend, 54, is managing the team in the interim following the departure of the Holland-born coach. And the former striker, who scored more than a hundred times for the Cityzens, oversaw his first game at the helm when Villa hosted Charlton in the Women's League Cup on Wednesday night. De Pauw 's exit, announced by the club yesterday, came three days after the Villans fell to a fifth loss in nine top-flight games. The Dutchman is alleged to have made unprofessional remarks to players, including comments about their appearance. According to The Guardian concerns were raised in-house about the claims which the club are reported to have looked into. READ MORE TOP STORIES The Sun has contacted Villa for comment on those claims. The Dutch coach left the club "with immediate effect" after just six months at the helm. Just 24 hours earlier the ex-Bayer Leverkusen chief posted what many regarded as a cryptic message on LinkedIn . De Pauw wrote: "Finding the balance between the short term and long term in the best interest for the team and club is not an easy thing. It comes with big sacrifices." Most read in Football FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS "You need the backing of the club if you want the team to go from average, to good, to better, to top. "This reselecting and developing of a team is a necessary thing to do to make these steps. I did this in Leverkusen the past two seasons selecting on football, behaviour and characteristics of the players. "I never shy away from difficult decisions and I will certainly not win the popularity contests. Because you can never satisfy everyone. "But always keeping standards high to get the best out of the team and each other." Following a promising pre-season that included a friendly win against Man City, the Villans have endured a poor start to this season. The team were trounced 4-0 by Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday and have notched just ONE win in the WSL so far this term. Their dismal run has left them fourth from bottom and just one point above bottom-placed Crystal Palace before their final WSL game this year on Sunday. The team are due to host West Ham who are ninth with eight points and also battling to avoid the drop. De Pauw's departure was announced in a brief written statement published on their web site. They say Goater will be in charge of their women’s squad “until a new manager is appointed and will be supported by the wider coaching team”. READ MORE SUN STORIES The former Bermuda international joined Villa as assistant women’s team head coach in August. Before then Goater had worked as an assistant to Cityzens women’s side gaffer Gareth Taylor from April last year to June until this summer.
THUNDER BAY — Insufficient wireless network access in rural areas hinders businesses from competing digitally, limiting economic growth and restricting residents from accessing services like online education and telehealth. Charla Robinson, president of the Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce, says this disparity creates a digital divide that hinders economic development and equitable access to essential services. Moreover, reliable cellular service is crucial for maintaining public safety and preventing interruptions within the supply chain. The Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce has partnered with the Timmins and Greater Sudbury Chambers of Commerce on advice that has been adopted as Canadian Chamber policy and says they will continue to advocate to the federal government on what Robinson calls a "vital issue." "The government needs to reinvest a portion of the revenue from spectrum auctions into subsidies and incentives that would support new, innovative and robust networks," she said. "There needs to be a focus on rural and remote areas, critical transportation routes and workforce programs that address shortages in skilled talent." She added collaboration is encouraged between the government, industry and communities for project success, efficient resource allocation, and addressing unique regional challenges while promoting economic reconciliation. That includes consultation with Indigenous leaders and First Nations communities as partners in policy development for a more economically inclusive and prosperous future. While Canada has made strides in mobile network technology, particularly with 4G, it lags behind the global 5G race due to insufficient mid-band spectrum allocation. Robinson says the government needs to provide the support that's needed so that rural and remote areas don't get left behind as the technology changes.

Bombers GM Walters sees no need to blow up roster despite another Grey Cup loss
Downing Street condemned Mr Putin for further escalating the conflict by using a ballistic missile with a range of “several thousand kilometres” against the city of Dnipro. Mr Putin suggested the missile could be used to hit Kyiv’s allies who have given Ukraine permission to use Western-supplied weapons to hit targets within Russia. The UK is believed to have allowed its Storm Shadow missiles to be used by Ukrainian forces within the Kursk region of Russia, while the US has given permission for its ATACMS weapons to be fired at targets in Mr Putin’s country. Mr Putin confirmed Russia has tested a new intermediate-range weapon, saying it came in response to Ukrainian strikes on the Russian territory with US and British missiles earlier this week. The Russian leader declared that Russia would issue advance warnings before strikes on other countries to allow civilians to evacuate to safety. “In response to the use of American and British long-range weapons on November 21 of this year, the Russian armed forces launched a combined strike on one of the facilities of the Ukrainian defence industry,” Mr Putin said in a televised address. “One of the newest Russian medium-range missile systems was tested in combat conditions, in this case, with a ballistic missile in a non-nuclear hypersonic warhead.” He added: “We consider ourselves entitled to use our weapons against military facilities of those countries that allow their weapons to be used against our facilities.” The US said the weapon was a new, experimental intermediate-range missile based on Russia’s existing RS-26 Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile. In Westminster, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “My understanding is that it is the first time that Russia has used a ballistic missile in Ukraine with a range of several thousand kilometres.” No 10 said it was “an example of escalatory behaviour from Russia”. But the Prime Minister’s spokesman added it “only serves to strengthen our resolve and to ensure that Ukraine has what it needs to act in self-defence against Russia’s reckless and illegal invasion”. Defence Secretary John Healey said: “Since the illegal invasion of Ukraine began, Russia has consistently and irresponsibly escalated the conflict while Ukraine continues to fight in self-defence for a democratic future. “Today’s ballistic missile attack is yet another example of Putin’s recklessness.” The missile’s range far outstrips that of newly authorised US and British supplied weapons. The distance from Moscow to London is around 2,500km, suggesting the range of the new missile could threaten the UK. Russia’s military claims it has shot down two British-made Storm Shadow missiles, following reports that debris from the weapons had been discovered in the country’s Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces have launched an incursion. Mr Healey earlier revealed to a committee of MPs that the UK knew Russia had been “preparing for months” to fire a new ballistic missile. Mr Healey warned Ukraine faces a “serious moment” in its defence against Mr Putin’s invasion, but refused to confirm that Kyiv had been given permission to use Storm Shadow in Russia. Downing Street and the Ministry of Defence have repeatedly declined to comment publicly on the use of Storm Shadow. “It risks both operational security and in the end the only one that benefits from such a public debate is President Putin,” the Defence Secretary told MPs. Battle lines in Ukraine are now “less stable than at any time since the early days of the full-scale Russian invasion”, Mr Healey said, citing British intelligence. Speaking at the same time, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer told the House of Commons the UK “will not be deterred or distracted by reckless threats” from Mr Putin, who has lowered the threshold for using his nuclear arsenal. Sir Keir also insisted that all the UK’s support for Kyiv was “in accordance with international law” and “always for self-defence”. I had a meeting with the UK delegation led by Chief of the Defence Staff . We discussed defense cooperation between Ukraine and the United Kingdom, focusing on developing and enhancing the technological capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Particular... — Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) The head of the UK’s armed forces visited Ukraine to discuss the country’s military needs. Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky met Chief of the Defence Staff Admiral Sir Tony Radakin in Kyiv. Mr Zelensky said: “We discussed defence co-operation between Ukraine and the United Kingdom, focusing on developing and enhancing the technological capabilities of the armed forces of Ukraine. “Particular attention was given to Ukraine’s current military needs and the continued support from our partners.”NEW YORK , Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Report on how AI is redefining market landscape - The global insurtech market size is estimated to grow by USD 77.41 billion from 2024-2028, according to Technavio.

Putin threatens UK with new ballistic missile as Ukraine war escalatesORCHARD PARK — Ja’Marcus Ingram stood on the sidelines, but don’t say he wasn’t part of the game. The Buffalo Bills cornerback listens for the defensive call, then he looks to see what formations and motion the offense is showing. Once the ball is snapped, Ingram’s eyes are locked on the cornerbacks, looking not only at what they are doing, but what he would do if he was in the game. Ingram played 87 snaps over the first four games in Buffalo’s dime package while Taron Johnson recovered from a broken forearm. Since Johnson returned in Week 6, though, Ingram played 11 total defensive snaps over eight weeks. That changed early in the fourth quarter when starter Rasul Douglas left with a knee injury, and with Kaiir Elam inactive, Ingram was the next man in line. Ingram played an uneventful 16 snaps to finish the game, aside from a pass interference penalty on third down that coach Sean McDermott felt was a poor call. Douglas did not practice Wednesday and if he can’t play, Ingram is likely to be thrust into the starting lineup against the Detroit Lions and the highest scoring offense in the NFL. It’s a moment Ingram has been thinking about, . “It was tough because you go from playing a lot on defense to not really playing that much,” Ingram told GNN Sports. “But it’s kind of understood with what the next step is with my role changing from defense to strictly special teams. ... It’s more like a competitive thing. You’re like, ‘I want to be out there on defense.’ But at the same time, I make the shift to special teams, I’m like, ‘All right. I’m going to go dominate special teams.’” The #Bills and #Sabres had a forgettable weekend. @billhoppe.bsky.social and I get into Allen's historic game, McDermott's tough day and postgame comments, the Sabres' skid and Kevyn Adams's press conference. fireside.fm/episode/sMvb... The University at Buffalo product made a splash in his first two games after making the 53-man roster. He made a game-saving pass break-up on the final defensive play of the game against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 1. He followed that with two interceptions, one returned for a touchdown, against the Miami Dolphins the next week. Almost 20 pounds lighter than Douglas, Ingram matches him in length and height at 6-foot-2. But Ingram has shown the versatility to play outside or in the slot, while being a willing tackler against the run. “You saw some of the production early,” McDermott said. “Pick-six he had and his hands on the ball. Making the play in the Arizona game to help us seal the game there. He’s physical in the run game. So, like all of us, we’ve got things to work on.” Throughout minicamp and training camp, Ingram was the No. 4 cornerback on the roster. That held true into the season, including when starter Christian Benford was injured and Elam started against Miami in Week 9. But over the last three games, Ingram has jumped Elam on the depth chart. Elam, a 2022 first-round pick who has been in and out of McDermott’s doghouse with inconsistent play and injuries, has been a healthy scratch the last three games. When McDermott was asked if Elam was not competing enough, he responded, “Maybe that, maybe some other players have earned it more.” “Everything’s earned,” McDermott said. “That’s part of every decision, a big part of every decision, for most of the reasons of who is active or inactive and whatnot. Everything’s earned and will continue to be earned as we move forward this week and we’ll see where it goes.” Aside from his start against the Dolphins, Elam has played 31 defensive snaps all season. It comes a year after being a healthy scratch seven times, . Before his stint on IR, Elam started two games and labored with the injury. He was also in and out of the lineup as a rookie. . He’s got four career interceptions and two have come in the playoffs, including an interception of Mason Rudolph in the end zone during an AFC wild-card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers last season. Elam says the coaching staff reasoned his latest demotion due to numbers not being on par with the other cornerbacks. And that he wasn’t making enough plays during practice, which left Elam wondering how to get back into Buffalo’s good graces. “Coming to work every day, I work hard, I compete, I do what’s asked of me and make plays in practice,” Elam told GNN Sports at his locker Wednesday. “That’s all I can do is control the controllables. I really don’t have any answers.” Elam is still one of the last players off the practice field each day, often putting in extra time with Benford and Douglas. He’s also present in games, even if he’s inactive. During games, Elam can be seen on the sidelines talking to Benford and Douglas to understand what they are seeing on the field and offering tidbits that he’s gleaned from his view from afar. “I’m placed on this earth for a bigger reason,” Elam said. “If I’m not given the opportunity to play or start, I’m going to pour myself into my teammates no matter what. Those guys are trying to feed their family just as I am if I was on the field. So if those guys need extra eyes ... I just try anything that they need help on.” CB Rasul Douglas (knee) and S Taylor Rapp (neck/shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday’s walk-through. ... DE Casey Toohill (ribs) was limited. ... The Bills also opened 21-day windows for LB Baylon Spector (calf) and DE Dawuane Smoot (wrist) to return from injured reserve and both practiced in full.(The Center Square) – U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has been appointed to lead a subcommittee dedicated to working with President-elect Donald Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency. Known as a Republican firebrand and close ally of Trump, Greene has already set her sights on rooting out “every penny of waste and abuse.” “We’ll be looking at everything from government-funded media programs like NPR that spread nothing but Democrat propaganda, we’ll be going into grant programs that fund things like sex apps in Malaysia, toilets in Africa,” she said on a media appearance Sunday morning. The subcommittee will be under the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, which is chaired by U.S. Rep. James Comer, R-Ky. “We want to make the government more efficient,” Comer said on a media appearance . “We want to work for the taxpayers, not the bureaucrats. We hate the deep state, we’ve dealt with the deep state, we’ve fought the deep state.” He added that Republicans are excited to implement the recommendations of DOGE, which, as an advisory committee, will have to work with Trump and Congress to change policies. “What Trump has ... are willing partners to make government more efficient,” Comer said of Congress. Elon Musk, CEO of X and Tesla Motors, and Vivek Ramaswamy are currently heading up DOGE. “Looking forward to working together with Congress,” Ramaswamy said on social media of Greene’s appointment . “Proper oversight of agencies and public transparency are critical.” DOGE has made it a key part of its plan to address the national debt of $36 trillion. That is $273,000 owed per taxpayer. “This trend must be reversed, and we must balance the budget,” DOGE posted . For her part, Greene has promised to “drain the swamp,” stating that “nothing is off the table” when it comes to holding government agencies like the Pentagon accountable. “Our government should steward every single cent of your hard-earned money,” Greene said. “The DOGE subcommittee will expose the waste and bring truth and transparency to the American people.” Bureaucrats and independent contractors will also be on the chopping block, in what Greene called a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make real transformational change to government to benefit the American people.” “In the private sector, if you’re not doing a good job, you get fired,” she said on social media . “But for some reason, in government, bad employees – whether they’re failing to do the job they were hired to do or working in roles that are no longer needed – never get fired. This is incredibly unfair to the hard-working taxpayers of our country, and it’s about to change.” Recently, an audit of the IRS found that its employees and contractors owe millions in taxes, all while the agency warned thousands of taxpayers that they could face jail time. “The same unelected IRS government employees and contractors, who owe $50 million in unpaid taxes, would throw Americans in jail for not paying their taxes,” Greene said of the audit . “Time to hold them all accountable.” Greene also addressed Democrats' accusations that the subcommittee will go after programs like Social Security. “No, Senator Warren, we are not going to take away a senior’s Social Security. That’s a lie,” Greene responded on social media . “We are going to investigate all areas of the federal government like CFPB, an ‘independent’ agency inside the federal government. Beholden to no one. Ran by unelected bureaucrats.”

A CFL source said Friday the veteran running back-returner has agreed to terms on a two-year extension with the Edmonton Elks. Leake was slated to become a free agent in February. The source added the deal — which was negotiated by Kenny Kim of Summit Athletes — was worth more than $270,000 in hard money. The source spoke on the condition of anonymity as the Elks hadn't formally announced the move. The six-foot, 205-pound Leake ran for a career-high 661 yards on 102 carries (6.5-yard average) with six TDs in 15 games this past season, his first with Edmonton. Leake also had two 100-yard rushing contests in 2024 while adding 34 catches for 301 yards and a touchdown. Leake also had 23 punt returns for 214 yards and 25 kickoff returns for 539 yards. Leake joined the Elks as a free agent after spending two seasons with the Toronto Argonauts, winning a Grey Cup with the club in 2022. Leake was used predominantly as a returner with Toronto and was the CFL's top special-teams player in 2023 after registering 81 punt returns for 1,216 yards and four TDs. He had 38 kickoff returns for 793 yards. Leake had 15 carries for 52 yards over his two seasons with the Argos. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 13, 2024. The Canadian Press
Brazil police formally accuse former president Jair Bolsonaro and allies of coup attemptBy Steve Douglas, The Associated Press Manchester City plunged deeper into trouble in the Champions League by losing 2-0 at Juventus on Wednesday, the latest setback in a scarcely believable run of poor results for the ailing English champions. City dropped to 22nd place in the 36-team standings, with only the top 24 advancing. Progressing to the next round of the new-look format looked a certainty before the season for a team that was European champion in 2023 and has won the last four Premier League titles. But not anymore as City manager Pep Guardiola battles injuries and an apparent loss of belief among his players. City has won just one of its last 10 matches in all competitions, with goals by Dušan Vlahović and Weston McKennie inflicting the latest defeat and igniting Juventus' qualification hopes. City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan described the team’s problem as a “mental issue.” Opponents “are able to break our rhythm with the smallest of things,” Gundogan said. “They don’t even need to do much and it has such a big effect on us right now.” Barcelona jumped into second place in the league standings, behind Liverpool, and is guaranteed to advance after a 3-2 win at Borussia Dortmund. Raphinha and Ferran Torres, with two goals, scored for Barca. Arsenal beat Monaco 3-0 mainly thanks to two goals by Bukayo Saka to move into third place and be the highest of six teams on 13 points. The top eight qualify directly for the last 16 and the teams placed No. 9-24 go into a two-legged playoff. City has two games to save its faltering Champions League campaign and the first is against Paris Saint-Germain, another giant in trouble in 25th place — one spot out of the qualifying positions. Vlahović put Juventus ahead in the 53rd when he powered a header goalward straight at City goalkeeper Ederson, who could only parry the ball over his own line. Two American substitutes sealed the win for Juve, with McKennie volleying home from Timothy Weah’s cross. Juventus moved into 14th place. Ferran Torres came off the bench to inspire Barcelona to a fifth win in six games and push Dortmund, last season’s runner-up, out of the top eight. Torres came on in the 71st to replace Robert Lewandowski, who had a quiet game against his former club. Just four minutes later, Torres scored a goal on the rebound from Dani Olmo’s shot.

(AP Photo/Martin Meissner) AP Serhou Guirassy’s second goal of the game leveled the score at 2-2 but Torres scored again in the 85th off Lamine Yamal’s pass on the counter. Raphinha gave Barcelona the lead before Guirassy equalized from the penalty spot. Raphinha and Guirassy are tied for second place in the scoring chart on six goals, behind Lewandowski’s competition-high seven. Arsenal secured a third straight home win without conceding in the league stage, with Saka scoring in the 34th and 78th minutes and sending in a shot that was turned into the net by substitute Kai Havertz in the 88th. Arsenal is ahead of Bayer Leverkusen, Aston Villa, Inter Milan, Brest and Lille on goal difference. Lille won 3-2 at home to Sturm Graz on Wednesday. Man City could sure do with Julian Alvarez at the moment. With a brilliant curling finish to open the scoring, the Argentina striker helped Atletico Madrid beat Slovan Bratislava 3-1 and provide a timely reminder of what City is missing after selling him for more than $100 million in August. Alvarez has 12 goals for the season, with four coming in the Champions League.

Tribute to grieving teammate When Lukasz Lakomy gave Young Boys the lead against Stuttgart, he ran toward the sideline and held up teammate Meschack Elia’s jersey as others gathered around him. The gesture was a tribute after Elia’s son died unexpectedly this week after a short illness. Elia wasn’t playing as he was on his way to his native Congo, where his son died, to be with his family. Both teams wore black armbands and there was a moment of silence before the game, which was won 5-1 by Stuttgart. Tammy Abraham scored an 87th-minute winner as AC Milan beat Red Star Belgrade 2-1 to move one point off the top eight. Milan lost Alvaro Morata and Ruben Loftus-Cheek to muscle injuries in the first half. Benfica’s five-match winning streak ended with a 0-0 home draw against Bologna, and Feyenoord had a 4-2 win over Sparta Prague.
