Liverpool is 100% on top of the Champions League after dumping title holder Real Madrid into an almost unbelievable 24th place in the 36-team standings on Wednesday. No one felt the embarrassment of Madrid’s 2-0 loss at Anfield more than Kylian Mbappé, the superstar added in the offseason by the storied club that also was European champion against Liverpool in the finals of 2022 and 2018. Mbappé had a penalty saved in the second half and was earlier dumped on his behind by Conor Bradley’s superb tackle in an instant viral moment. Only Liverpool has started the new Champions League format with five wins and first-year coach Arne Slot's team is two points clear of Inter Milan. Barcelona is third, trailing Liverpool by three points. Madrid is, remarkably, with three rounds left just one place above being eliminated. The top eight teams at the end of January go direct to the round of 16 in March, and teams placed from ninth to 24th enter a round of two-leg playoffs in February. “(This) doesn’t change much, because even with a win it was going to be tough to secure a top-eight finish,” Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said. ”It was a fair result." Monaco missed a chance to go second in the table, giving up a lead playing with 10 men from the 58th minute in a 3-2 loss at home to Benfica. Swiss forward Zeki Amdouni scored the winning goal in the 88th. Borussia Dortmund, the beaten finalist against Madrid in May, is up to fourth place after beating Dinamo Zagreb 3-0. Champions League standout Jamie Gittens now has four goals in five games, curling a rising shot in the 41st to open the scoring in Croatia. The best comeback was at PSV Eindhoven, where the home team trailed Shakhtar Donetsk by two goals in the 87th minute before a 3-2 win was sealed by United States forward Ricardo Pepi’s goal deep in stoppage time. US defender Cameron Carter-Vickers scored an embarrassing own goal for Celtic — playing a no-look pass far beyond goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel — in a 1-1 draw with Club Brugge. “One of those things,” Schmeichel said. “Cam gets pressed and he hasn’t heard me shout that I’m not in (goal).” Congo teammates Ngal’Ayel Mukau and Silas impressed in wins for Lille and Red Star Belgrade. Mukau scored twice in 12th-place Lille’s 2-1 win at Bologna and Silas leveled for Red Star in a 5-1 rout of Stuttgart, though he barely celebrated his goal. Silas is on loan with the Serbian champion from Stuttgart. Aston Villa's 0-0 draw with Juventus was preserved by an excellent save by Emiliano Martinez , the World Cup-winning Argentina goalkeeper, diving low to push away a header from Francisco Conceição. Liverpool’s stand-in right back Bradley was a standout Wednesday, denying Mbappé at high speed in a signature defensive play in the 32nd. The 21-year-old Northern Ireland defender, deputizing for fit-again Trent Alexander-Arnold, joined the attack in the 52nd to play a key pass returning the ball to Alexis Mac Allister who scored the opening goal. After Mbappé’s penalty was pushed away by goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher in the 61st, Liverpool star Mo Salah missed with his spot-kick in the 70th, before substitute Cody Gakpo sealed the win with a header in the 77th. Madrid now has lost three of five games after defeats at Lille and at home to AC Milan. The record 15-time European champion has another tough trip next, at fifth-place Atalanta on Dec. 10. On the same date, Liverpool is at 30th-place Girona and looks to be cruising into the round of 16. “You know how special it is to play against a team that has won the Champions League so many times," Liverpool coach Slot said of Madrid. “They were a pain for Liverpool for many years too.” Red Star Belgrade and Sturm Graz ended four-game losing runs to get their first points and wins. Red Star rallied against Stuttgart after the German team led in the fifth minute. The 1991 European Cup winner’s goal to level the game in the 12th was scored by on-loan Silas. He held up his hands as if in apology as part of a low-key celebration. Sturm Graz won 1-0 against Girona, the Spanish newcomer to European competitions. It was the Austrian champion’s first Champions League game since coach Christian Ilzer left to join Hoffenheim. AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer

NoneBy ROB GILLIES TORONTO (AP) — Canada is already examining possible retaliatory tariffs on certain items from the United States should President-elect Donald Trump follow through on his threat to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian products, a senior official said Wednesday. Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico if the countries don’t stop what he called the flow of drugs and migrants across southern and northern borders. He said he would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico as one of his first executive orders. A Canadian government official said Canada is preparing for every eventuality and has started thinking about what items to target with tariffs in retaliation. The official stressed no decision has been made. The person spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly. When Trump imposed higher tariffs during his first term in office, other countries responded with retaliatory tariffs of their own. Canada, for instance, announced billions of new duties in 2018 against the U.S. in a tit-for-tat response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminum. Many of the U.S. products were chosen for their political rather than economic impact. For example, Canada imports $3 million worth of yogurt from the U.S. annually and most comes from one plant in Wisconsin, home state of then-House Speaker Paul Ryan. That product was hit with a 10% duty. Another product on the list was whiskey, which comes from Tennessee and Kentucky, the latter of which is the home state of then-Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell. Trump made the threat Monday while railing against an influx of illegal migrants, even though the numbers at Canadian border pale in comparison to the southern border. The U.S. Border Patrol made 56,530 arrests at the Mexican border in October alone — and 23,721 arrests at the Canadian one between October 2023 and September 2024. Canadian officials say lumping Canada in with Mexico is unfair but say they are happy to work with the Trump administration to lower the numbers from Canada. The Canadians are also worried about a influx north of migrants if Trump follows through with his plan for mass deportations. Trump also railed about fentanyl from Mexico and Canada, even though seizures from the Canadian border pale in comparison to the Mexican border. U.S. customs agents seized 43 pounds of fentanyl at the Canadian border last fiscal year, compared with 21,100 pounds at the Mexican border.

Canadian officials argue their country is not the problem and that tariffs will have severe implications for both countries. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US$2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day. About 60% of U.S. crude oil imports are from Canada, and 85% of U.S. electricity imports are from Canada. Canada is also the largest foreign supplier of steel, aluminum and uranium to the U.S. and has 34 critical minerals and metals that the Pentagon is eager for and investing in for national security. “Canada is essential to the United States’ domestic energy supply,” Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said. Trump has pledged to cut American energy bills in half within 18 months, something that could be made harder if a 25% premium is added to Canadian oil imports. In 2023, Canadian oil accounted for almost two-thirds of total U.S. oil imports and about one-fifth of the U.S. oil supply. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is holding a emergency virtual meeting on Wednesday with the leaders of Canada’s provinces, who want Trudeau to negotiate a bilateral trade deal with the United States that excludes Mexico. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Wednesday that her administration is already working up a list of possible retaliatory tariffs “if the situation comes to that.”

With tariffs threats, Donald Trump makes a good point on Canada’s complacency
First Eduspec Inc. encourages institutions to be STEAM-STRONG for the future of learnersThe latest development came hours after thousands of his supporters, defying government warnings, broke through a barrier of shipping containers blocking off Islamabad and entered a high-security zone, where they clashed with security forces, facing tear gas shelling, mass detentions and gunfire. Tension has been high in Islamabad since Sunday when supporters of the former PM began a “long march” from the restive north-west to demand his release. Khan has been in a prison for more than a year and faces more than 150 criminal cases that his party says are politically motivated. Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi, led the protest, but she fled as police pushed back against demonstrators. Hundreds of Khan’s supporters are being arrested in the ongoing night-time operation. Interior minister Mohsin Naqvi told reporters that the Red Zone, which houses government buildings and embassies, and the surrounding areas have been cleared. Leaders from Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, or PTI, have also fled the protest site. Earlier on Tuesday, Pakistan’s army took control of D-Chowk, a large square in the Red Zone, where visiting Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko is staying. Since Monday, Mr Naqvi had threatened that security forces would use live fire if protesters fired weapons at them. “We have now authorised the police to respond as necessary,” Mr Naqvi said Tuesday while visiting the square. Before the operation began, protester Shahzor Ali said people had taken to the streets because Khan had called for them. “We will stay here until Khan joins us. He will decide what to do next,” Mr Ali said. Protester Fareeda Bibi, who is not related to Khan’s wife, said people have suffered greatly for the last two years. “We have really suffered for the last two years, whether it is economically, politically or socially. We have been ruined. I have not seen such a Pakistan in my life,” she said. Authorities have struggled to contain the protest-related violence. Six people, including four members of the security services, were killed when a vehicle rammed them on a street overnight into Tuesday. A police officer died in a separate incident. Dozens of Khan supporters beat a videographer covering the protest for the Associated Press and took his camera. He sustained head injuries and was treated in hospital. By Tuesday afternoon, fresh waves of protesters made their way unopposed to their final destination in the Red Zone. Mr Naqvi said Khan’s party had rejected a government offer to rally on the outskirts of the city. Information minister Atta Tarar warned there would be a severe government reaction to the violence. The government says only the courts can order Khan’s release. He was ousted in 2022 through a no-confidence vote in Parliament. In a bid to foil the unrest, police have arrested more than 4,000 Khan supporters since Friday and suspended mobile and internet services in some parts of the country. Messaging platforms were also experiencing severe disruption in the capital. Khan’s party relies heavily on social media and uses messaging platforms such as WhatsApp to share information, including details of events. The X platform, which is banned in Pakistan, is no longer accessible, even with a VPN. Last Thursday, a court prohibited rallies in the capital and Mr Naqvi said anyone violating the ban would be arrested. Travel between Islamabad and other cities has become nearly impossible because of shipping containers blocking the roads. All education institutions remain closed.

The San Carlos City Council voted unanimously on Monday evening to pass a resolution of “no confidence” in , a move that follows the release of a scathing 400-plus page independent audit that details allegations of corruption and misconduct, fueling growing calls for her resignation. San Carlos, a city of about 29,000 residents, that contract police services from the sheriff’s office. It is the first among them to pass a no-confidence vote against Corpus. The other cities with similar contracts include Millbrae, Woodside, Portola Valley, and Half Moon Bay. “They respond to our worst days, and it’s a tough job. They’re calling for help,” said Jeff Maltbie, San Carlos city manager. “If these were our own city staff, we could address the issue directly. But since they’re not our employees, we can only amplify their voices with another microphone, another outlet.” The council said the resolution is focused solely on Corpus’ leadership and that it continues to have confidence in Mark Myers, the city’s chief of police and one of Corpus’ captains who has formally called for her to step down. “I remain fully confident in Chief Myers and the deputies who serve and protect San Carlos every day,” Mayor John Dugan said. According to documents from San Mateo County, . The contract with the sheriff’s office, continuously renewed since 2010, covers police management, patrol, investigations, traffic enforcement, as well as community and school services, among other responsibilities. Prior to Monday night’s council meeting, the Organization of Sheriff Sergeants of San Mateo County, which represents sergeants and lieutenants, announced a vote of no confidence in Corpus and her remaining executive team, including Chief of Staff Dan Perea and Victor Aenlle. “This decision is not the result of some ‘good old boys’ club’ or subversive efforts by an ‘entrenched resistance,’” the organization said in a press release Monday. “Rather, it reflects the collective opinion of the frontline leadership of the sheriff’s office, a diverse group of experienced law enforcement professionals. We have reviewed the report by the Honorable LaDoris Cordell, which outlines the racism, homophobia, and corruption linked to this Sheriff and her administration.” Aenlle is a key figure in much of the alleged misconduct outlined in Cordell’s report, including an alleged inappropriate relationship with Corpus, a claim they both deny. Last Thursday, San Mateo County Supervisor Ray Mueller revealed a bombshell memo from Corpus’ second-in-command, Perea, . The memo, dated Nov. 14, was sent just two days after the publication of Cordell’s report, which claimed that Aenlle, Corpus’ former chief of staff, had improper access to three rifles equipped with silencers. The report noted that, as a civilian, Aenlle’s possession of the rifles could constitute a felony offense. In his first public interview, Aenlle, who was previously in the real estate and private security and investigations business, denied all the findings in Cordell’s report. for the report were supporters of former Sheriff Carlos Bolanos, whom Corpus unseated in 2022. “A few of them are scared for their jobs because if you don’t kiss the ring in this county, they’ll push you out immediately,” Aenlle told ABC 7 News. Last week, that would give the county authority to remove an elected sheriff from office until 2028, the end of Corpus’ term. This is only one of three methods being explored by county officials to remove Corpus from office. In addition to granting supervisors the authority to remove a sheriff, a recall election and a civil grand jury were among the mechanisms discussed. In a letter dated Tuesday, Corpus described efforts to oust her as “polarizing” and reiterated her refusal to step down. “While these past weeks have been tough, I remain committed to fulfilling the responsibilities I swore to uphold,” Corpus wrote. Corpus said that she is “moving forward” with a restructured leadership team, which, alongside Perea, will focus on “restoring internal and external relationships” while advancing strategic initiatives. “I have every confidence in the new leadership team to oversee our daily operations and foster a culture of accountability and respect,” she said. The letter made no mention of Aenlle, whom she promoted to assistant sheriff earlier this month. Community member Liz Lange said Monday she was against any action that would overstep voters, who elected Corpus into office. “I urge the council not to take a stance or position and not adopt,” Lange said. “It’s not for the council to decide, but for voters to decide. County supervisors are trying to remove the sheriff themselves. This is meant to circumvent the voters, undermining our democracy.” Lange said Corpus’ removal should “solely be left to the people who hired the sheriff — the voters.” San Carlos Councilmember Ron Collins, however, warned that the longer the controversy continues with Corpus refusing to step down, the more public trust will be eroded. “The findings by Cordell are serious and undeniable,” Collins said. “The sheriff continues to deny any wrongdoing or offer contrition. ... I’ve seen enough, and it’s time for her to acknowledge the damage being done to public trust, safety, and the county’s finances.”Flames bring 3-game losing streak into matchup with the Penguins
