UTSA earns 117-58 win against Southwestern AdventistLeicester City have identified Graham Potter as their top target to replace Steve Cooper , although the manager’s wage demands may see them turn to a list that also includes Ruud van Nistelrooy . The Championship winners dispensed with Cooper on Sunday , after five difficult months where he never clicked with the club. Supporters didn’t take to him due to his Nottingham Forest connections, but he also struggled to impose his tactical approach on the squad. A defeat to former manager Enzo Maresca proved the final straw, as Leicester lost 2-1 at home to Chelsea in a poor performance. Potter had been the first choice to replace Maresca in the summer, but there was no progress made on the pursuit then due to both the 49-year-old’s age as well as a sense he wanted a bigger club. Leicester instead opted for Cooper, despite some internal counter-arguments to the appointment. There is hope they may have a better chance with Potter now, due to how long his time out of the game since his own departure from Chelsea in March 2023 has been. It is understood he would still need considerable convincing, however. While Potter is seen as the ideal candidate, Leicester are naturally looking at other options, with Van Nistelrooy understood to be a name on the list. The Dutch coach has impressed in a brief coaching career so far, including an interim spell at Manchester United. He wrought a winning response out of a deflated squad after Erik ten Hag’s sacking, before Ruben Amorim was appointed. Van Nistelrooy had previously shown promise in winning the Dutch cup in one season at PSV Eindhoven, only to resign with one game of the campaign remaining due to a lack of support.
A Welsh man missing for 18 months has been foundThanksgiving Travel Latest: Airport strike, staff shortages and weather could impact holiday travelSEOUL, South Korea — South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said early Wednesday that he would soon lift the martial law he imposed during a tense night of political drama in which troops surrounded parliament and lawmakers voted to reject military rule. Yoon said his government withdrew the military personnel that had been deployed, and that he would formally lift martial law following a Cabinet meeting as “soon as members arrive.” Yoon declared martial law late Tuesday, vowing to eliminate “anti-state” forces as he struggles against an opposition that controls the country’s parliament and that he accuses of sympathizing with communist North Korea. Less than three hours later, parliament voted to lift the declaration, with National Assembly Speaker Woo Won Shik declaring that the martial law was “invalid” and that lawmakers “will protect democracy with the people.” The president’s surprising move harkened back to an era of authoritarian leaders that the country has not seen since the 1980s, and it was immediately denounced by the opposition and the leader of Yoon’s own party. Police and military personnel were seen leaving the Assembly’s grounds after Woo called for their withdrawal. Lee Jae-myung, leader of the liberal Democratic Party, which holds the majority in the 300-seat parliament, said the party’s lawmakers will remain in the Assembly’s main hall until Yoon formally lifts his order. “Democratic Party lawmakers, including me and many others, will protect our country’s democracy and future and public safety, lives and properties, with our own lives,” Lee told reporters. Jo Seung-lae, a Democratic lawmaker, claimed that security camera footage following Yoon’s declaration showed that troops moved in a way that suggested they were trying to arrest Lee, Woo and even Han Dong-hoon, the leader of Yoon’s People Power Party. Officials from Yoon’s office and the Defense Ministry did not respond to requests for comment early Wednesday. Seemingly hundreds of protesters gathered in front of the Assembly, waving banners and calling for Yoon’s impeachment. Some protesters scuffled with troops ahead of the lawmakers’ vote, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or major property damage. At least one window was broken as troops attempted to enter the Assembly building. Get local news delivered to your inbox!
Last week I was part of a group of economists who wrote an raising concerns about the fiscal stance of the coalition Government and its impact on the current low level of and future prospects for economic activity. It got some media attention but had no more immediate impact on the coalition than the most cynical of us expected. What was more surprising to me was that Opposition parties were slow to pick up on the initiative, preferring it seemed to focus on their quotidian personality and point scoring, ignoring key economic policy matters. I think that unwillingness to join the cause is partly because in their previous roles they had promoted, endorsed or accepted a local political orthodoxy about fiscal policy not far from the current stance. It is not an orthodoxy that has much intrinsic merit or much support from other economies or agencies. It was labelled “responsible” but in practice, and in the light of current conditions, it has turned out not to be.Ipswich Town are back on level terms against Manchester United thanks to Omari Hutchinson's deflected effort right before the stroke of halftime.

On Thursday, a meeting between Western Railway (WR) authorities and the Divisional Railway Users Consultative Committee (DRUCC) - a body appointed by the Indian Railways representing train commuters - discussed this issue, among other things. On December 3, the Shiv Sena (UBT) had organised a protest at Bhayander station, where they opposed the replacing of the 8.24 am Churchgate-bound non-AC local with an AC local. They claimed that AC services were not being adequately patronised. Following the protest, last week, the WR revised its train schedule and increased the number of coaches, from 12 to 15, for two non-AC services starting from Bhayander. The revision was in response to demands made by the Sena (UBT) to withdraw suburban AC services during morning peak hours. Opposing this decision, DRUCC members at Thursday’s meeting urged the railway not to curtail the services of AC local trains, especially those connecting Bhayander and Virar with Churchgate, sources said. “There is ample demand for AC trains, which operate at full capacity. There is no space to board Churchgate-bound trains from Borivali during morning peak hours and vice versa during evening rush hour. We demanded that the new AC train that has come to the Central Railway and is lying unused be shifted to WR,” said Rajiv Singhal, member, DRUCC. “I have appealed to local railway officials and the ministry of railways not to succumb to political pressure”. In November, the Central Railway, after more than two years, received an AC local train with advanced technology that creates more room for passengers. Sources in the WR who were present at the meeting said they have asked the Railway Board if this train could be transferred from the CR to the WR. Currently, WR has nine local AC trains and operates 109 trips daily. These AC locals carry over 4% of the passengers on the railway and account for 23% of the railway’s revenue. The average daily number of commuters using AC locals on the WR is around 125,000, of the total 2.9 million commuters travelling on the 120-km-long Churchgate–Dahanu route. The Central Railway operates six AC locals, with five of them in service operating 66 services. When inducted, the seventh new AC train will be used when other trains are under maintenance. “There is no proposal to send our AC rake to the WR and it will be used for our services after fitment. This new rake will be needed to avoid cancellation of AC trains on Saturdays and Sundays,” said a CR official.
