Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai claims that believing in each other and head coach Arne Slot is the reason for success. After enjoying a dominant start, Liverpool are at the top of the Premier League and the Champions League. The Reds have won 21 out of 25 games in all competitions, showcasing balance and efficiency while enjoying a fluid tactical style. Slot emphasizes balancing risk and reward factors, ensuring that they dominate in both the defensive and offensive phases. The Dutch head coach inherited a formidable squad from the legendary manager Jurgen Klopp and added his genius tactical nuances. Football history is not kind to the coaches who succeed a well-adored famous outgoing manager but Slot broke that notion. Understandably, the players had concerns about their progress after losing a manager like Klopp. A lot of these players including the Hungary captain signed during the summer of 2023 with the assumption of playing many seasons under the German manager. Szoboszlai is one of the many players who benefited from Slot’s tactical style and his clear-cut communication and man-managing ability. Meanwhile, his teammates like Ryan Gravenberch have enjoyed a rejuvenation in their careers while establishing themselves as a pivotal player. Speaking in his post-match interview ( via Liverpoolfc.com ), Szoboszlai highlighted the importance of believing in Slot and his Liverpool teammates. He said: “Probably actually no-one expected him, us to start so well – but he is believing in the team, we are believing in him. We need the whole squad, that has showed many times. It doesn’t matter who plays, we give our best on the pitch: Champions League, cups and in the Premier League as well. That’s why we are top of the table and top of the Champions League.” The 24-year-old not only possesses technical qualities but also demonstrates conviction and a selfless desire to help his teammates. The unrelenting stamina and drive to press the opposition is a key part of Szoboszlai’s game which is essential for the team. The Hungary international has struggled with improving his goals and assists contribution which are also important. The 24-year-old contributions against Tottenham Hotspur in the last game should prove him an important boost in confidence. The Kopites and the global Liverpool fanbase acknowledge Szoboszlai’s performances and give him all the support he deserves. The Hungary captain needs to maintain consistency for Liverpool to achieve trophies this season. This article first appeared on The Kop Times and was syndicated with permission.
Inter beats Como and closes gap at the top of Serie A while Bove back on Fiorentina sideline
Donald Trump has submitted a filing to the Supreme Court regarding the TikTok case brought by the Justice Department, which the court will decide in the coming session. The lawsuit brought by the DOJ alleges "violations of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and its implementing regulations (COPPA)." Trump's lawsuit comes amid conversations about national security around the app. The concern addressed by Congressional legislation is that TikTok is influenced by the Chinese government, which the U.S. views as nefarious and fearful that it could flex its control to influence elections . The app is also used to collect data and information on Americans while also allowing for the injection of malicious software by China . ALSO READ: Why Truth Social perfectly explains Donald Trump "In light of these interests—including, most importantly, his overarching responsibility for the United States' national security and foreign policy—President Trump opposes banning TikTok in the United States at this juncture, and seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office," the filing says. It goes on to quote Trump's post on Truth Social on Sept. 4, 2024, which said, "FOR ALL THAT WANT TO SAVE TIKTOK IN AMERICA, VOTE TRUMP!" It then claims that "Trump alone possesses the consummate dealmaking expertise, the electoral mandate, and the political will to negotiate a resolution to save the platform while addressing the national security concerns expressed by the Government—concerns which President Trump himself has acknowledged. ... Indeed, President Trump's first Term was highlighted by a series of policy triumphs achieved through historic deals, and he has a great prospect of success in this latest national security and foreign policy endeavor." Lawyer Bob Loeb posted the filing on Bluesky and was asked by Reuters legal reporter Alizon Frankel if he could think of any other case in history in which a president-elect "filed a brief advocating for a particular outcome in a pending Supreme Court case." Loeb noted another excerpt in which Trump's lawyers write, "In light of the novelty and difficulty of this case, the Court should consider staying the statutory deadline to grant more breathing space to address these issues. ... Such a stay would vitally grant President Trump the opportunity to pursue the political resolution that could obviate the Court's need to decide these constitutionally significant questions." Former Justice Department and Homeland Security lawyer Eric Columbus pointed out , "Not the main point but someone should have stricken that 'vitally.'" "I honestly thought this was satire when Bob first posted it," remarked Michigan Law Professor Leah Litman on Bluesky. "The Trump amicus brief in the TikTok case is wild, not the least of which is because it explicitly is premised on 'I'll be president soon' and because the brief — full of puffery (at best) — is authored by his choice for solicitor general, D. John Sauer," pointed out legal analyst Chris Geidner.Last night to catch the Oliver Fire Department holiday fire truckDare Glintstone Akinniyi expressed disbelief that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, despite widespread allegations of electoral malpractice, was declared the winner of the Ondo governorship election The PDP spokesperson pointed out that the financial advantage enjoyed by the APC, including vote buying with amounts ranging from N10,000 to 20,000, influenced the outcome of the poll Akinniyi further called on the opposition parties in Nigeria to join forces with the PDP to challenge the APC’s dominance in 2027 Don't miss out!

Newly appointed French Prime Minister François Bayrou formed the country's fourth government in less than a year, with a key challenge for his cabinet being securing approval for the 2025 budget. The list of France's new ministers under freshly nominated Prime Minister François Bayrou was unveiled on Monday by the Elysée presidential palace secretary, Alexis Kohler. The new cabinet is made up of 34 members, including leading figures and former ministers, mostly conservative and centrist politicians. , the former prime minister, becomes the Minister of Education and the government's second most important figure. remains as the foreign affairs minister. , former Minister of the Interior, becomes the new justice minister. remains as the minister of the interior. , former prime minister under former president François Hollande, becomes minister for overseas territories. remains the minister of the armed forces. remains the minister of culture. becomes the new minister for the economy. , a former minister under François Hollande, becomes the new minister of territories and decentralisation. The goal of the new cabinet is to survive long enough in office until new parliamentary elections can be called next summer. France has been in a political quagmire since French President Emmanuel Macron called for snap elections in the summer after his centrist party lost to the far right in the EU elections. Since then, the country's lower house of parliament has been deadlocked with three distinct blocs unwilling to work together. A key challenge for Bayrou's cabinet is securing approval for the country's 2025 budget. Bayrou's predecessor, Michel Barnier, was ousted less than three months into his tenure after attempting to pass the social security budget without a parliamentary vote, a move that led to his downfall under Macron's administration. The hard-left France Unbowed party (LFI) had already announced its intention to file a no-confidence vote against the new government. The composition of the government was heavily criticised by multiple figures as giving too much power to the far right. Xavier Bertrand, a leading figure of the conservatives, said he turned down a position under Bayrou posting on his X account (formerly Twitter) that he "refuses to participate in a French government formed with the approval of Marine Le Pen." Olivier Faure, the leader of the Socialist Party (PS) hit back at Bayrou's choices calling the new cabinet "a provocation." The new prime minister failed to negotiate with the more moderate Socialists to attempt to form a government and avoid a potential no-confidence vote. The first Council of Ministers is set to meet on 3 January, while the National Assembly remains closed until 13 January, when a confidence vote can be held.Mitch Marner to wear red and white Maple Leaf as Canada rounds out 4 Nations roster
FLORENCE, Italy (AP) — Inter Milan beat Como 2-0 to cement third place in Serie A and close the gap on top two Atalanta and Napoli on Monday. Carlos Augusto got the opener when he headed home a corner kick in the 48th minute. Marcus Thuram scored the second in stoppage time with a potent strike into the roof of the net. It was the first time these teams have played each other in the top division since 2003 and although Inter had lost only one league game all season it struggled to impose itself on 15th-placed Como. However, it won without exerting itself and the three points were enough to take Simone Inzaghi’s men within three points of leader Atalanta and within one of Napoli. Inter has a game in hand over both clubs. Fiorentina misses chance to rise Fiorentina missed a chance to go fourth when it lost at home to Udinese 2-1. The Florence club won a record eight consecutive Serie A games before losing to Bologna 1-0 on Dec. 15, and it looked to be back on track when Moises Kean converted a penalty after eight minutes to become the first Fiorentina player to reach double figures in the league since Federico Chiesa in the 2019-20 season. However, Udinese was a different prospect after the break. Lorenzo Lucca equalized with the aid of sloppy defending four minutes into the second half and then Florian Thauvin found space on the edge of the box to curl in the second eight minutes later. The result left Udinese in ninth place and Fiorentina in fifth. The match was a special one for Edoardo Bove, the Fiorentina player whose collapse with a heart issue led to the suspension of its game with Inter Milan on Dec. 1. Bove was fitted with a defibrillator implant soon after and sat on the Fiorentina bench for the first time since his collapse. He is not allowed to play but his position on the sideline alongside coach Raffaele Palladino was seen as a step towards normality for the 22-year-old midfielder. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer The Associated PressNancy Mace says 'trantifa' wants to kill her as office is bombarded with threats over trans bathroom war

Not for distribution to United States newswire services or for dissemination in the United States Highlights: LNG Energy Group announces initiatives to increase production at Colombian operations, optimize costs and enhance its liquidity position. LNG Energy Group proposes senior secured convertible debenture financing of up to U.S.$15 million in order to accelerate drilling in Colombia. Before-tax NPV10 for Proved (1P) reserves of U.S.$171 million representing NPV10 of C$1.55 per share in respect of the Colombian assets as at December 31, 2023. 1 Before-tax NPV10 for Proved (1P) reserves of U.S.$261 million representing NPV10 of C$2.37 per share in respect of assets related to CPPs in Venezuela as at April 30, 2024. 2 Existing assets include three drilling rigs and other non-core assets appraised at approximately U.S.$11 million . TORONTO, Dec. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LNG Energy Group Corp. (TSXV: LNGE) (TSXV: LNGE.WT) (OTCQB: LNGNF) (FWB: E26) (the “ Company ” or “ LNG Energy Group ”) is pleased to announce a private placement of senior secured convertible debentures in the amount of up to U.S.$15 million (“ Private Placement ”) in order to drill two development wells, two to three exploration wells and conduct an active workover and stimulation campaign in Colombia. The Private Placement is undertaken in the context of a broader strategic review process the Company is conducting with the authorization of its Board of Directors, to explore and evaluate a range of potential alternatives for the Company to maximize shareholder value, with the assistance of ECM Capital Advisors, Eight Capital and Haywood Securities Inc. The potential initiatives may include, but are not limited to financings, corporate reorganization, strategic partnerships, acquisitions, divestitures and/or farm-outs, sale, and other forms of business combination. Pablo Navarro, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LNG Energy Group commented, “It has been a challenging year. Many issues have arisen with which we are dealing. Changes are being made and solutions are being implemented. Bottom line, the asset base is exceptional, and the future is bright. The turnaround is working, and we will work relentlessly to catapult the trajectory of the Company through a series of strategic initiatives that should ultimately contribute to meeting Colombia’s need for natural gas.” Strategic Initiatives Drilling Campaign Upon a successful Private Placement, farm-out and/or JV Contribution (as defined herein), the Company will commence a drilling and recompletion campaign in Colombia. Chemical Stimulations The Company completed successfully the workover of the BN-1 well consisting of a chemical stimulation that increased the well’s production by approximately 3x, offsetting losses caused by the presence of asphaltenes, fines and residues from drilling fluids. Prior to the stimulation, the well was producing at an average production of approximately 112 Mcf/d with a WHP of 72 psi on a 36/64” choke. Initial results of the stimulation showed an immediate production increase to 822 Mcf/d with a WHP of 328 psi on a 26/64” choke. The well is currently producing 350 Mcf/d with 114 psi in WHP and on a 22/64” choke. The Company intends to apply this technology to several other wells that also experienced a production decline due to the same root causes. Costs Optimization In order to reduce costs, the Company has implemented a corporate reorganization initiative which is expected to result in savings of approximately $1.5 to $2.0 million per annum. The Company continues to review ways to optimize its business and operations, including strategic partnerships with vendors, and rationalization of suppliers, inventory optimization, and adjusting the organizational structure of the Company to the current production context. Capital Strengthening The Company is in the process of farming out a part of its participating interest in the VIM-41 Block located onshore Colombia and pursuing a well development financing (the “ JV Contribution ”) to raise capital to initiate the drilling of the B5 well located onshore Colombia. Furthermore, the Company intends to review options to optimize cash flow available for drilling vis a vis its financial obligations. Secured Convertible Debenture Financing In conjunction with its near-term development plans, the Company is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Eight Capital, as lead agent and bookrunner, on behalf of a syndicate of agents including Eight Capital, Haywood Securities Inc. and ECM Capital Advisors, (together, the “ Agents ”) pursuant to which the Company has launched a proposed Private Placement on a “best efforts” agency basis in the aggregate principal amount of up to U.S.$15 million (the “ Offering ”) senior secured convertible debentures (the “ Convertible Debentures ”) to eligible investors.

Upon closing of the Offering, the Company will pay to the Agents a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. The Company is entitled to a President’s List in the amount of up to U.S.$2 million pursuant to which no fees shall be paid to the Agents. The net proceeds of the Offering will be primarily used for the Company’s next phase of drilling, workover and stimulation activities as well as for general working capital purposes.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of crude oil, reserves and the future cash flows attributed to such reserves. The reserve and associated cash flow information set forth above are estimates only. In general, estimates of economically recoverable crude oil and natural gas reserves and the future net cash flows therefrom are based upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical production from the properties, production rates, ultimate reserve recovery, timing and amount of capital expenditures, marketability of oil and natural gas, royalty rates, the assumed effects of regulation by governmental agencies and future operating costs, all of which may vary materially. For those reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable crude oil and natural gas reserves attributable to any particular group of properties, classification of such reserves based on risk of recovery and estimates of future net revenues associated with reserves prepared by different engineers, or by the same engineers at different times, may vary. The Company’s actual production, revenues, taxes and development and operating expenditures with respect to its reserves will vary from estimates thereof and such variations could be material. All evaluations and reviews of future net revenue are stated prior to any provisions for interest costs or general and administrative costs and after the deduction of estimated future capital expenditures for wells to which reserves have been assigned. The tax calculations used in the preparation of the reserves reports referred to in this news release are done at the field level in accordance with standard practice, and do not reflect the actual tax position at the corporate level which may be significantly different. “ Proved ” reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves. There is a 90 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved reserves. Light crude oil is crude oil with a relative density greater than 31.1 degrees API gravity, medium crude oil is crude oil with a relative density greater than 22.3 degrees API gravity and less than or equal to 31.1 degrees API gravity, and heavy crude oil is crude oil with a relative density greater than 10 degrees API gravity and less than or equal to 22.3 degrees API gravity. 1 Reserves included herein are stated on a company gross basis (working interest before deduction of royalties without including any royalty interests).

Trump said late Thursday he was tapping Rodney Scott, a former Border Patrol chief who’s been a vocal supporter of tougher enforcement measures, for CBP commissioner. As acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Trump said he’d nominate Caleb Vitello, a career ICE official with more than 23 years in the agency who most recently has been the assistant director for firearms and tactical programs. They will work with an immigration leadership team that includes South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem as head of the Department of Homeland Security ; former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement head Tom Homan as border czar ; and immigration hard-liner Stephen Miller as deputy chief of staff. Customs and Border Protection, with its roughly 60,000 employees, falls under the Department of Homeland Security. It includes the Border Patrol, which Scott led during Trump’s first term, and is essentially responsible for protecting the country’s borders while facilitating trade and travel. Scott comes to the job firmly from the Border Patrol side of the house. He became an agent in 1992 and spent much of his career in San Diego. When he joined the agency, San Diego was by far the busiest corridor for illegal crossings. Traffic plummeted after the government dramatically increased enforcement there, but critics note the effort pushed people to remote parts of California and Arizona. San Diego was also where wall construction began in the 1990s, which shaped Scott’s belief that barriers work. He was named San Diego sector chief in 2017. When he was appointed head of the border agency in January 2020, he enthusiastically embraced Trump’s policies. “He’s well known. He does know these issues and obviously is trusted by the administration,” said Gil Kerlikowske, the CBP commissioner under the Obama administration. Kerlikowske took issue with some of Scott’s past actions, including his refusal to fall in line with a Biden administration directive to stop using terms like “illegal alien” in favor of descriptions like “migrant,” and his decision as San Diego sector chief to fire tear gas into Mexico to disperse protesters. “You don’t launch projectiles into a foreign country,” Kerlikowske said. At the time Scott defended the agents’ decisions , saying they were being assaulted by “a hail of rocks.” While much of the focus of Trump’s administration may be on illegal immigration and security along the U.S.-Mexico border, Kerlikowske also stressed the importance of other parts of Customs and Border Protection’s mission. The agency is responsible for securing trade and international travel at airports, ports and land crossings around the country. Whoever runs the agency has to make sure that billions of dollars worth of trade and millions of passengers move swiftly and safely into and out of the country. And if Trump makes good on promises to ratchet up tariffs on Mexico, China and Canada, CBP will play an integral role in enforcing them. “There’s a huge amount of other responsibility on trade, on tourism, on cyber that take a significant amount of time and have a huge impact on the economy if it’s not done right,” Kerlikowske said. After being forced out under the Biden administration, Scott has been a vocal supporter of Trump’s hard-line immigration agenda. He has appeared frequently on Fox News and testified in Congress. He’s also a senior fellow at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. In a 2023 interview with The Associated Press, he advocated for a return to Trump-era immigration policies and more pressure on Mexico to enforce immigration on its side of the border.Rising cricketer Atharva Taide was acquired for INR 30 lakhs by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Indian Premier League 2025 mega auction.
