(AP) — Jaylon Johnson wasn't all that interested in discussing any bright spots or reasons to have hope for the Chicago Bears. The star cornerback made his feelings clear. “I’ve been in slumps four, five years in a row now,” Johnson said Monday. "So, I mean at the end of the day, I don’t look for, ‘OK, what is going to be better in the future?’ ... It will be better when it’s better. So, right now, it’s not better. That’s all I can go off of.” The Bears (4-7) are last in the NFC North and have five straight losses after in overtime. They wiped out an 11-point deficit in the final 22 seconds of regulation, only to come up short again when the Vikings' Parker Romo kicked a 29-yard field goal. It was the third game during this skid that came down to the final play. in Week 8 and had a in Week 11. Players have openly questioned some of the coaching decisions in recent weeks. Offensive coordinator Shane Waldron got fired before the game against Green Bay. And coach Matt Eberflus' game management came under more scrutiny against Minnesota. With the Bears trailing 17-10 in the third quarter, there was some confusion on a fourth-and-4 at the Vikings 27. Eberflus said he didn't do a good enough job communicating on the previous play that they would go for it on fourth down. That led to a chaotic sequence in which Santos and long snapper Scott Daly ran onto the field, only to get waved off by a lineman. Quarterback Caleb Williams had to rush to get everyone lined up properly in order to avoid a delay of game. He wound up barking out the wrong play because he misheard the call from offensive coordinator Thomas Brown and threw an incomplete pass. Receiver DJ Moore said Eberflus had not addressed that play with the team. The Bears were scheduled to meet later Monday. “That moment was just like, like a ‘what is going on’ moment that we could have avoided,” he said. What's working The passing game. Williams has clearly looked more comfortable in the two games since Brown replaced the fired Shane Waldron as offensive coordinator. The No. 1 draft pick followed up a solid performance against Green Bay by throwing for 340 yards and two touchdowns. It was his fourth straight turnover-free game and fifth in a row without an interception. What needs help Field goal protection. One week after his game-ending 46-yard field goal attempt against Green Bay got blocked, Santos had a 48-yarder rejected on his first try against Minnesota. It happened from the same area, in the middle of the line, when the Vikings' Jerry Tillery knocked down the kick. “I just think it’s technique," Eberflus said. "It’s getting your foot down, bracing up there, staying lower. ... We just have to do a better job there with that.” It was the third blocked field goal for Santos this year, the most for Chicago in a single season since it also had three blocked in 2012. He had a 43-yard try blocked in a win over Jacksonville on Oct. 13. Stock up Moore. The Bears have done a better job getting Moore involved under Brown. Moore caught seven passes for a season-high 106 yards and a touchdown against Minnesota. That gave him 14 receptions for 168 yards the past two games, compared to 13 for 104 yards over the previous four. Johnson's 27-yard catch down the middle set up Santos' tying field goal at the end of regulation. But it's not just deep shots. The Bears are finding ways to get the ball in his hands, allowing him to turn short passes into bigger gains. He also had a 13-yard run. Stock down RB D’Andre Swift. After a string of solid outings, Swift had just 30 yards on 13 carries. To be fair, he has been dealing with a groin issue, and he was going against the NFL's No. 1 run defense. Injuries The Bears reported no injuries during the game. Key number 5-18 — The Bears' record in one-possession games in nearly three seasons under Eberflus, including a 2-5 mark this year. They are 14-31 overall during Eberflus' tenure. Next steps The schedule doesn't get any easier, with a Thanksgiving matchup at NFC North leader Detroit. The Lions (10-1) have won nine straight since losing to Tampa Bay in Week 2. ___ AP NFL: Andrew Seligman, The Associated Press
American political commentator Scott Bennett has died of pancreatic cancer at age 46, his friends and family said on Friday. A former US army psychological warfare officer, Bennett provided political commentary to RT and other media outlets. He also travelled to Donbass in 2023 to witness the situation on the ground firsthand. RTD aired a documentary detailing his journey to Donetsk and other frontline cities titled “Frontline Diary of an American Officer.” In 2014, the analyst authored the book ‘Shell Game: a Military Whistleblowing Report to Congress’, which focused on former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and then Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner granting permission for an arms sale to Qatar. Weapons sold as part of that deal ended up in the hands of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS), according to Bennett. In June 2024, Bennett visited the Russian border region of Belgorod, where he witnessed the Ukrainian shelling of the village of Saltykovo. At that time, he condemned what he called an attack on civilians. The following month, he prepared a report to the US Congress, accusing Ukrainian forces and foreign fighters of “systematically” and “intentionally” targeting civilians in Belgorod Region and Donbass. “Non-military targets are being attacked, irreparably damaged or destroyed, and civilians are being intentionally murdered as a result,” Bennett said in his report, accusing the Biden administration of making the US a “legally culpable party to international war crimes” through its support of Kiev’s actions. In his report, Bennett also stated that he faced “death threats and threats of violence” from the Ukrainian government, military personnel, and media over the course of his investigation. He also allegedly received similar threats from American and NATO “elements and agents” backing Kiev’s cause. The analyst published his report on Telegram as well, and accompanied it with a message saying that he was not “suicidal in any way.” “If anything happens to me it will be in order to try and bury this report,” he wrote.As the story of Mr. Li's unconventional entry method spread through the city, he became somewhat of a local legend, with commuters eagerly anticipating his daily arrival at the station.

President Yoon Suk Yeol, who appeared likely to be impeached over his actions, imposed martial law late Tuesday out of frustration with the opposition, vowing to eliminate “anti-state” forces as he struggles against opponents who control parliament and that he accuses of sympathizing with communist North Korea. Police and military personnel were seen leaving the grounds of parliament following the bipartisan vote to overrule the president, and the declaration was formally lifted around 4:30 a.m. during a Cabinet meeting. Parliament acted swiftly after martial law was imposed, with National Assembly Speaker Woo Won Shik declaring that the law was “invalid” and that lawmakers would “protect democracy with the people.” In all, martial law was in effect for about six hours. 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 conservative party. Lee Jae-myung , leader of the liberal Democratic Party, which holds the majority in the 300-seat parliament, said the party’s lawmakers would remain in the Assembly’s main hall until Yoon formally lifted his order. Woo applauded how troops quickly left the Assembly after the vote. “Even with our unfortunate memories of military coups, our citizens have surely observed the events of today and saw the maturity of our military,” Woo said. While announcing his plan to lift martial law, Yoon continued to criticize parliament’s attempts to impeach key government officials and senior prosecutors. He said lawmakers had engaged in “unscrupulous acts of legislative and budgetary manipulation that are paralyzing the functions of the state.” 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. One woman tried unsuccessfully to pull a rifle away from one of the soldiers, while shouting “Aren’t you embarrassed?” Under South Korea’s constitution, the president can declare martial law during “wartime, war-like situations or other comparable national emergency states” that require the use of military force to maintain peace and order. It was questionable whether South Korea is currently in such a state. When martial law is declared, “special measures” can be employed to restrict freedom of press, freedom of assembly and other rights, as well as the power of courts. The constitution also states that the president must oblige when the National Assembly demands the lifting of martial law with a majority vote. Following Yoon’s announcement of martial law, South Korea’s military proclaimed that parliament and other political gatherings that could cause “social confusion” would be suspended, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency said. The military said anyone who violated the decree could be arrested without a warrant. In Washington, the White House said the U.S. was “seriously concerned” by the events in Seoul. A spokesperson for the National Security Council said President Joe Biden’s administration was not notified in advance of the martial law announcement and was in contact with the South Korean government. Pentagon spokesman Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said there was no effect on the more than 27,000 U.S. service members based in South Korea. The South Korean military also said that the country’s striking doctors should return to work within 48 hours, Yonhap said. Thousands of doctors have been striking for months over government plans to expand the number of students at medical schools. Soon after martial law was declared, the parliament speaker called on his YouTube channel for all lawmakers to gather at the National Assembly. He urged military and law enforcement personnel to “remain calm and hold their positions. All 190 lawmakers who participated in the vote supported the lifting of martial law. At one point, television footage showed police officers blocking the entrance of the National Assembly and helmeted soldiers carrying rifles in front of the building. An Associated Press photographer saw at least three helicopters, likely from the military, that landed inside the Assembly grounds, while two or three helicopters circled above the site. The leader of Yoon’s conservative party called the decision to impose martial law “wrong.” Lee, who narrowly lost to Yoon in the 2022 presidential election, said Yoon’s announcement was “illegal and unconstitutional.” Yoon said during a televised speech that martial law would help “rebuild and protect” the country from “falling into the depths of national ruin.” He said he would “eradicate pro-North Korean forces and protect the constitutional democratic order.” “I will eliminate anti-state forces as quickly as possible and normalize the country,” he said, while asking the people to believe in him and tolerate “some inconveniences.” Yoon — whose approval rating dipped in recent months — has struggled to push his agenda against an opposition-controlled parliament since taking office in 2022. His party has been locked in an impasse with the liberal opposition over next year’s budget bill. The opposition has also attempted to impeach three top prosecutors, including the chief of the central Seoul prosecutors’ office, in what the conservatives have called a vendetta against their criminal investigations of Lee, who has been seen as the favorite for the next presidential election in 2027 in opinion polls. During his televised announcement, Yoon also described the opposition as “shameless pro-North Korean anti-state forces who are plundering the freedom and happiness of our citizens.” He did not elaborate. Yoon has taken a hard line on North Korea over its nuclear ambitions, departing from the policies of his liberal predecessor, Moon Jae-in, who pursued inter-Korean engagement. Yoon has also dismissed calls for independent investigations into scandals involving his wife and top officials, drawing quick, strong rebukes from his political rivals. Yoon’s move was the first declaration of martial law since the country’s democratization in 1987. The country’s last previous martial law was in October 1979, following the assassination of former military dictator Park Chung-hee. Sydney Seiler, Korean chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, argued that the move was symbolic for Yoon to express his frustration with the opposition-controlled parliament. “He has nothing to lose,” said Seiler, comparing Yoon’s move to the Hail Mary pass in American football, with a slim chance of success. Now Yoon faces likely impeachment, a scenario that was also possible before he made the bold move, Seiler said. Natalia Slavney, research analyst at the Stimson Center’s 38 North website that focuses on Korean affairs, said Yoon’s imposition of martial law was “a serious backslide of democracy" that followed a “worrying trend of abuse” since he took office in 2022. South Korea “has a robust history of political pluralism and is no stranger to mass protests and swift impeachments,” Slavney said, citing the example of former President Park Geun-hye, the country’s first female president, who was ousted from office and imprisoned for bribery and other crimes in 2017 . Associated Press writers Hyung-jin Kim in Seoul, South Korea, and Matt Lee, Didi Tang and Tara Copp in Washington contributed to this report.Bashar al-Assad has finally stepped down from power in Syria, marking a significant moment in the nation's tumultuous history.

Jets defender headed for surgery and lengthy stint on the sidelinesMore than 3.5 years after the Myanmar military (Tatmadaw) attempted to seize control of the country through a coup, the Japanese government continues to provide Official Development Assistance (ODA) and public funds that benefit the military junta. Despite the sacrifices of the Myanmar people to end the Myanmar military's decades-long oppression, Japan's "assistance" risks burdening survivors with enormous loans that potentially enable the military to continue its atrocities against the very people it is meant to aid. Since the 2021 coup, Japan's response has been limited to expressing "grave concerns" and calling for the release of detained leaders like Aung San Suu Kyi. While Western countries imposed sanctions, Japan has taken hardly any punitive measures, showing leniency in the face of increasing its atrocities. Like many countries, it supports international development through grants, loans and technical assistance. However, Japan favours providing aid in the form of bilateral loans, a method that constitutes a higher proportion compared to other donor countries that mostly offer grants. Within the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development -- a key platform where the world's major donor countries discuss development aid issues -- Japan stands out as the largest provider of ODA loans. According to one study, from 1970 to 2020, among the 32 members of the DAC, Japan provided 71% of its bilateral aid in the form of loans, in stark contrast to the 22% provided by other DAC members. Japan's reliance on loaning aid even surpasses that of multilateral organisations, which provided 52% of their aid as loans. Japan's role as a major donor to Myanmar is a testament to its aid strategy. Over the past decade, Japan has loaned an enormous amount of aid to Myanmar, unmatched by any other country. In 2022, only Japan and Korea continued to disburse ODA aid loans to Myanmar, with Korea's contributions amounting to about 10% of Japan's volume. By 2020, Japan had lent a cumulative total of US$2.7 billion to Myanmar. Although no new ODA contracts have been signed since the coup, the finalisation of ongoing projects will increase Myanmar's debt to Japan by an additional $5.12 billion. Some of the projects funded by the sizable loan aid have been linked to Myanmar military's businesses. Yokogawa Bridge Corporation paid the Myanmar military-owned conglomerate, Myanmar Economic Corporation, for the Bago Bridge project. A UN fact-finding mission in Myanmar stated in 2019 that revenues from military-controlled businesses fund the military's atrocities. The Thilawa Special Economic Zone, backed by Japanese ODA, also risks entangling Japanese funds with the military since the chairperson of the zone's Management Committee was replaced by the military shortly after the coup. Other publicly-funded projects like the Y Complex Project have been linked to a venture that allows funds to flow to the Office of the Quartermaster General, which has been sanctioned by the United States, United Kingdom, European Union and Canada for its role in procuring arms and equipment for the military. Since the coup, the Myanmar military has killed over 5,400 people, burning villages to ashes, committing massacres, torture and sexual violence. It has intensified airstrikes across Myanmar, displacing over 3 million people. The survivors of these atrocities will be burdened with the enormous debt that could be funding the perpetrators. Despite statements in 2021 suggesting a potential review of ODA if the situation in Myanmar deteriorated, the Japanese government has continued its aid, seemingly prioritising concerns over potential losses for Japanese companies. During a hearing of the Committee on Audit on May 20, Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa stated, "If existing ODA is suspended and Japanese companies unilaterally terminate business contracts they have with counterpart institutions in the recipient countries, these companies may face demands for substantial penalties or could be subject to legal action. Therefore, a cautious approach is considered necessary". Instead of challenging the penalties and taking a firm stand on human rights, Japan appears more concerned with the interest of the companies involved in these projects. Despite Japan's lacklustre response to the crisis, many believe it can still influence change. Recently, a petition with over 11,500 signatures urged Japan to halt any aid benefiting the Myanmar military. A former Myanmar police officer now in Japan has called for a stronger stance from Japan, echoing sentiments expressed by many civil society organisations. The Spring Revolution, sparked by the military's 2021 attempt to grab power, is a historic, multi-faceted movement seeking to dismantle the military while building a federal democracy. Japan's loan aid could undermine these goals. As Japan marks 70 years of ODA, it is time to end ODA loans and public funds that support the Myanmar military.

Later in the day, a school spokesman told reporters that Armstrong will skip the Razorbacks' bowl game. The destination isn't yet known. Armstrong led the Southeastern Conference in both receptions (78) and receiving yards (1,140) but caught just one touchdown in 11 games this season. His catches and yardage were both second-most in Arkansas history behind Cobi Hamilton, who had 90 receptions for 1,335 yards in 2012. "It's been a journey for the books and I wouldn't trade it for anything because it has made me into the man I am today," Armstrong said of his Razorbacks tenure in a social media post. "... I will never forget all the moments that were shared here in Fayetteville." Armstrong played two seasons at Texas A&M-Commerce before transferring to Arkansas ahead of the 2023 season. In two seasons with the Razorbacks, he caught 134 passes for 1,904 yards and six scores. --Field Level Media

Followed categories will be added to My News. Blair Hartley’s phone was running hot when it came to pick 23. North Melbourne was desperate for key forward Harry Armstrong and had offered up the Kangaroos’ future first-round pick for the Tigers’ 23 to jag the goal kicker. But Hartley politely declined. No way they were passing up on the goal kicker they had rated inside the top-15 on their own draft board. It was the cream on the cake of a bumper draft night at Punt Rd. At pick 14, Richmond took a pack-crashing forward Jonty Faull (who Sydney Swans loved and tried to trade up to grab) then the rebound jet Luke Trainor at 21, and Armstrong at 23 to build the next generation Richmond spine. Faull is the one who will jump through a brick wall a bit like St Kilda’s Justin Koschitzke did, while Armstrong is the mobile floater and long-kicking left-footer. There have been concerns about Trainor’s concussion history, but the Tigers were happy with the medical report. Alex Rance was the king of the rebound game and Trainor has brilliant aerial skills in the back half. At pick one, Sam Lalor is the Bacchus Marsh bull, who is not yet the full professional product, like perhaps Finn O’Sullivan (North Melbourne) and Jagga Smith (Carlton) already are. But it’s the upside in Lalor the Tigers fell in love with. The Tigers believe Lalor will boom when he commits to a full-time football program, in the same way Dustin Martin did with his aggression and fend-off power. This is Sam Lalor ð¥ #AFLDraft | #gotiges pic.twitter.com/TDy3wee8P9 — Richmond FC ð ̄ (@Richmond_FC) November 20, 2024 He is a Hartley kind of player. Dangerous and damaging. Aggressive. Physically imposing. Smooth-moving Josh Smillie is perhaps the risk, but with eight picks in hand, the Tigers can afford to take the punt on a 195cm playmaker and beautiful user who can be anything if he makes it as a giant-sized onballer. And the deal with North Melbourne at the end was an extraordinary bonus, when the Roos finally handed over the future first-rounder (which Richmond knocked back only 15 minutes earlier) for pick 27. That is when the Roos got the key forward they were after, landing Matt Whitlock to help partner Nick Larkey in attack, after missing on Armstrong. BOOM OR BUST For North Melbourne, this was as bold as we have seen for some time. They have coughed up a potential top-three pick for the big fella they craved, hoping the club will bounce up the ladder next season like Hawthorn did in its third-year under Alastair Clarkson. But did they pick the right twin? Some clubs had Jack ahead of new Roo Matt. Jack Whitlock celebrates with his twin brother Matt. Picture: Michael Willson/AFL Photos via Getty Images The cost looks enormous on the surface of it all, but perhaps it’s a bit of a final play from a club which needs to stop relying on the draft only to bring in talent. They haven’t been able to attract stars as free agents, but perhaps this blue-chip young engine room can be the drawcard for potential recruits if it can flourish in 2025. The midfield already looks stacked but Tasmania will make Colby McKercher a top target. BOMBERS’ BLUNDER? Mick Ablett dropped a bomb on Essendon, labelling their future-first round pick trade with Melbourne a disaster. But there aren’t any alarm bells blaring at Tullamarine. The reality is if Essendon kept pick nine in Wednesday night’s draft, Melbourne and St Kilda were a certainty to bid on him, knowing Essendon would match. It was a tricky position for the Bombers who had to shift their pick into next year to avoid it being effectively wiped out. Isaac Kako with his family after being drafted. Picture: Michael Willson/AFL Photos via Getty Images It might have been an unsexy move, but it was the smart one. A patient one. This year is a big one for some of its recent high picks such as Archie Perkins, Nik Cox, Zach Reid, Ben Hobbs and Elijah Tsatas. And next year, if the Bombers and Demons both miss the finals (which could easily happen) they will have a pair of picks inside the first dozen or so. Not quite a disaster. PLOT REJECTED St Kilda was another club which was busy on the phones. The Saints were in a peculiar position as they needed midfield guns but landed two defenders in Alix Tauru and Tobie Travaglia. Travaglia can move into the middle and has a huge tank which Ross Lyon will love, and Tauru can reel in breathtaking marks across half back. St Kilda snapped up Alix Tauru and Tobie Travaglia. Picture: Michael Klein But the Saints also had their eyes on busy left-footed small forward Joe Berry, and were prepared to dangle their future first-round pick for him with clubs in the teens. But there were no takers. Port Adelaide snaffled up the quick and clean goal kicker at pick 15, and that is when the Saints went quiet. They put the first-round pick back in their pocket, and might offer the deal of a lifetime to GWS Giant to Finn Callaghan in a bid to lure him home. The Giants would want multiple early picks in a trade.

After pulling out one of the shocks of last year’s draft snaring Phoenix Gothard earlier (pick 12) than most thought, they again did their own thing taking aggressive small forward Oliver Hannaford (18), running defender Harrison Oliver (19) and, in perhaps the biggest surprise, outside midfielder half forward Cody Angove (24). But the Giants’ pick players who meet their chaos game style, and Hannaford might be the best tackler in this year’s crop. Hannaford smashes into opposition defenders, wins the footy forward of the ball, and hits the scoreboard. Hope you're as hyped as we are to see Ollie Hannaford in the orange and charcoal ð¥ pic.twitter.com/nzMorlrisD — GWS GIANTS (@GWSGIANTS) November 21, 2024 Fans will love him, and Giants’ recruiting boss Adrian Caruso has a great record taking gun small forwards like Brent Daniels and Darcy Jones. It all fits Adam Kingsley’s style, and this is a club which had Sydney Swans and Brisbane on toast at times in last year’s finals series. Oliver runs hard from behind the ball and the athletic link-up man Angove was more of a punt. But they pick players for their system, regardless of where others rank them.
