KINGSTON, Ont. — Arnaud Desjardins had 320 passing yards and Felipe Forteza booted six field goals to lead the Laval Rouge et Or to a 22-17 victory over the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks in the Vanier Cup on Saturday. It was the record 12th Canadian university football title for the Quebec champions, who handed the Ontario champion Golden Hawks their first loss of the year. Ryan Hughes and Jaxon Stebbings caught touchdown passes for Laurier. Golden Hawks quarterback Taylor Elgersma won the Hec Crighton Trophy as the outstanding U Sports football player earlier in the week but it was Desjardins who shone early on a breezy, chilly afternoon at Richardson Stadium. Desjardins, a finalist for the award, completed his first 22 pass attempts. Forteza split the uprights five times in the first half to help Laval take a 17-7 lead into the intermission. Forteza's sixth field goal with 2:31 left in the game set a Vanier Cup record. The Golden Hawks had to punt on their next possession and were pinned in their own end when they got the ball back in the dying seconds. Laurier had an 8-0 record in the regular season and outscored its opposition 128-76 over its first three playoff wins. Laval entered at 10-1 overall (7-1, 3-0) and was coming off two close victories over the last two weeks. A near-capacity crowd at the 8,000-seat Queen's University venue appeared to be an even split of Laurier and Laval supporters on opposite sides of the field. The weather cooperated after two days of showers in the area. It was cloudy and 8 C at kickoff. Desjardins marched the Rouge et Or deep into Laurier territory on Laval's first possession before settling for an 18-yard field goal by Forteza. Laval used a no-huddle offence in the early going with Desjardins frequently using dump passes to great effect. The Rouge et Or used a nine-play, 63-yard drive that ended with a Forteza chip shot from 15 yards out. The potent Rouge et Or defence, which led U Sports with just 106 points allowed in the regular season, made an early statement as Jordan Lessard forced a fumble from Elgersma that the Golden Hawks recovered. On the next play, Ndeki Garant-Doumambila walloped the Laurier pivot with a ferocious sack. Laurier didn't record a first down until late in the first quarter. Laval had a 128-39 edge in total yards over the first 15 minutes. Laval's special-teams play was also on point. Forteza booted a 73-yard punt and the Rouge et Or coverage swarmed returner Tayshaun Jackson, forcing him down at the Laurier one-yard line. The Golden Hawks would concede a safety to make it 8-0. Forteza added to the lead at 7:01 with a 35-yard field goal. Jackson gave Laurier some life when he broke for a 51-yard run to the Laval five-yard line. Hughes took a shovel pass from Elgersma and sprinted for the corner of the end zone to put the Golden Hawks on the scoreboard. Desjardins guided the Laval offence on a 46-yard drive capped by a 32-yard field goal by Forteza with 2:33 left in the half. Laurier's ensuing possession was a short one as Lessard forced another fumble and Jackson lost the ball at his 42-yard line. Forteza's 32-yard kick made it 17-7. The Golden Hawks came out with more jump in the third quarter. Elgersma found Ethan Jordan for a 45-yard reception to highlight a 93-yard drive capped by Stebbings' three-yard TD catch and Dawson Hodge's conversion. Laval took a 19-14 lead when Laurier conceded a safety to open the fourth quarter. Hodge made it a two-point game when he hit a 34-yard field goal with 8:26 left. With 4:57 remaining, Laval's Loic Brodeur forced a fumble at midfield. He knocked the ball out of Elgersma's hands and Garant-Doumambila recovered. The Golden Hawks beat Queen's 29-21 before topping Western 51-31 to win the Ontario championship. Laurier looked just as strong on the road, handing the Atlantic champion Bishop's Gaiters their first loss of the year with a 48-24 rout. Laval's route to the Vanier Cup started with a comfortable 41-18 win over Concordia. The Rouge et Or then beat the 2023 Vanier champion Montreal Carabins 22-17 for the Quebec title before earning a 17-14 road win over the Canada West champion Regina Rams. The Golden Hawks fell to 2-4 all-time in the national championship game. Laval, which improved to 12-2 all-time, last won the title in 2022. The Rouge et Or had won both previous meetings against the Golden Hawks. The victories - in 2004 and 2016 - came in the Uteck Bowl at Quebec City. The 2025 Vanier Cup will be played in Regina.

ISLAMABAD - Chinese drone technology will help to transform agriculture in Pakistan, which would enhance the local farming sector’s productivity, Gwadar Pro reported on Friday. According to the report, a major Chinese power company has highlighted the potential of integrating smart agriculture with low-altitude drone technology in Pakistan. In a statement, PowerChina emphasized the role of advanced drone technology in modernizing farming practices and enhancing efficiency. The company is committed to supporting sustainable, modern farming initiatives in Pakistan and beyond. In China, drones equipped with multispectral and thermal imaging cameras are used to analyze soil fertility, moisture levels, and other parameters. The data, processed through artificial intelligence, guides targeted farming actions, improving productivity while reducing costs and environmental impact. Pakistani court summons Norway right-wing tabloid reporter, editor To bring these cutting-edge technologies to Pakistan, Chinese companies are introducing solutions such as precision farming, smart irrigation, and data analytics. Earlier this year, the University of Agriculture Faisalabad launched the Pakistan-China Joint Lab for Artificial Intelligence and Smart Agriculture. This initiative aims to boost agricultural productivity, especially in Punjab, which accounts for 76% of Pakistan’s annual grain output. Dr. Iqrar Ahmad Khan, Vice Chancellor of the University of Agriculture Faisalabad, highlighted the potential for drone spraying technology in Punjab’s 25,000 villages. He stated that large-scale implementation could increase productivity, reduce costs, and promote intelligent agriculture across the region. However, high costs and economic constraints may hinder the adoption of drone farming in Pakistan. Dr. Muhammad Adnan, Executive Manager at LTEC International—a Chinese company working on chili farms in Punjab—told Gwadar Pro that overcoming these barriers requires targeted strategies. Roundtable terms Pak-US ties crucial for future discourse In order to facilitate drone adoption, he called for government subsidies to alleviate financial burdens on farmers, public-private partnerships to offer affordable drone rental services and local manufacturing of drone technology to lower costs and reduce reliance on imports along with farmer training programs. With strategic investments and collaborations, Chinese drone technology could pave the way for a more efficient and sustainable agricultural future in Pakistan.

"Trump's words should be taken with caution. It is important to remember that we are still far from the next presidential election, and many things can change between now and then," Zelensky stated. The Ukrainian president also pointed out that the focus should be on addressing pressing issues both domestically and internationally, rather than getting distracted by premature discussions about electoral politics.In conclusion, Kylian Mbappé's recent actions serve as a cautionary tale for young players looking to make their mark on the soccer world. While his talent is undeniable, his attitude and behavior have raised red flags about his ability to lead and inspire others. In contrast, clubs like Liverpool offer a supportive and nurturing environment for young talents like Trent Alexander-Arnold to grow and succeed. While Real Madrid may offer prestige and glamour, they may not necessarily provide the same level of guidance and development as other clubs. Ultimately, the choices that players like Mbappé make will shape their careers and legacies both on and off the pitch. It is up to them to decide what kind of role model they want to be for the next generation of soccer stars.
