Striker Kyra Carusa says the Republic of Ireland's Euro 2025 play-off defeat by Wales "feels like it takes the air out of your lungs". After a 1-1 draw in Cardiff in the first leg, Wales went two goals up in Dublin through Hannah Cain's penalty and Carrie Jones' well-taken strike. Anna Patten, whose handball led to the penalty, headed the Irish back into the game but Wales held on to qualify for their first major tournament. While the Welsh players celebrated, the Republic of Ireland players fell to their knees and the raw emotion was evident as they missed the opportunity to qualify for a first Euros, which would have backed up their first World Cup appearance last year. "It feels devastating. It literally feels like it takes the air out of your lungs and I'm not really able to describe it other than that," said San Diego Waves forward Carusa. "As a professional, you have these moments and you move forward and continue on. "This does pass, but it does reflect and change what you do moving forward. For now, it's just devastating." In a raw and strikingly honest interview with RTE after the match, midfielder Ruesha Littlejohn admitted the decision to award Wales a penalty "rattled" the Republic of Ireland, who "thought we were going there [to the Euros]". The 34-year-old added "the whole team is devastated" about the result and they were "punished" for not taking their chances. The cagey and tense nature of the first leg followed the sides to Dublin for the decisive fixture. Denise O'Sullivan crashed an effort off the crossbar in the first half, but a key moment came five minute after the restart when Spanish referee Marta Huerta de Aza was after Anna Patten handled the ball with an outstretched arm while jumping for a header in the area. Play had continued before it was halted for a VAR review, and Cian calmly slotted home the penalty. Things went from bad to worse for Eileen Gleeson's side as Jones rounded off a swift break to double Wales advantage. Although Patten netted late on, Wales survived the eight minutes of injury time to spark wild celebrations in Dublin. "You don't think about those moments. Honestly, you see it back and it's dreadful," Littlejohn said about the penalty decision. "Patsy [Patten] has gone up to head the ball and it hits her arm. I don't know how you jump these days in football. "I don't know if it's a new rule where you have to jump with your arms by your side." Littlejohn added the hosts struggle to regain momentum following the decision as they "just fell short". "That's been a tough one for us to take and they've built on that. We've still had chances but we didn't do enough. "We gave it our all to try and get another one back. If I'm being honest I think it rattled us a bit. "None of us seen it coming and it took us a bit to get to grips and get back to the game plan." When asked about the disappointment of missing out on a place at a first Euros, Littlejohn said the Irish thought "we were all going there [to the finals in Switzerland]". "We gave it our all but it's not good enough, so we're only going to watch now." While Littlejohn said now wasn't the time to reflect on her own future, a sentiment echoed by manager Gleeson whose contract expires following the campaign, the midfielder pointed to changed required in grassroots football. "If I'm being honest, in Irish football we need to go into grassroots here and need to change our game and change our style. You look at the best teams and they are all so comfortable on the ball. "They want the football and they want to play. That's everyone in the team and that's the journey that we're on now. I think it's going to start from the young ones coming through. "We know we can be hard and be resilient, we put our bodies on the line and we've got Megan's [Campbell] throw and big girls who can win headers, but we need to do more if we want to consistently get to these tournaments."Shares of Lennar Corp.

OpenAI's legal battle with Elon Musk reveals internal turmoil over avoiding AI 'dictatorship'
Animals Don't miss out on the headlines from Animals. Followed categories will be added to My News. Japanese monkeys living in Launceston will be prevented from reproducing due to concerns of disease and inbreeding within the group. For more than 40 years, visitors to Launceston’s City Park have been able to view the macaques frolicking about in an enclosure. But by 20250 it is expected there will be no monkeys left in the park. In 2000, it was revealed the herpes B virus had spread through the monkeys, although previous discussions of euthanising the troop were politically unpopular. The monkeys which given to Launceston by Japanese sister city Ikeda in 1981. Picture: City of Launceston Now there are increasing concerns about a lack of genetic diversity within the group. The City of Launceston has decided to desex the male members of the macaque troop to prevent the animals from breeding. It is expected that the desexing of the troop will take two years to complete. The council said while it was grateful to receive the monkeys, by today’s standards they would not keep these animals in an enclosure. They also said it was important to take into consideration the needs of the monkeys and the greater community. On Thursday afternoon, a council meeting voted 10-1 in favour of sterilisation, after hearing there were signs of miscarriages and stillbirths in the troop. Japanese macaques play about in Launceston's City Park. Picture: City of Launceston “We know the Launceston community cares very much about the welfare of the City Park monkeys,” Launceston Mayor Matthew Garwood said. “That’s a sentiment that’s also very much shared by both councillors and staff. “The inability to introduce new genetic stock and the serious impacts on their health and wellbeing means we need to begin to consider the future of the troop. “[The] decision was a difficult one, but it prioritises the welfare of the monkey troop so we can keep them as healthy and happy as possible for as long as possible. Mr Garwood said he would write to the mayor of Ikeda following the decision. Councillor Andrea Dawkins said if the city was offered this same opportunity today the city would be unlikely take it. “There is a lot of interest in these monkeys as there should be because there is so much interest in the way humans react with animals and we take it for granted they are a part of our lives,” she said. “Communities have changed and animals in captivity for the enjoyment of humans is some; thing we’ve moved through.” Originally published as Launceston council to sterilise iconic Japanese macaques More related stories Animals Dog act: Moment sick dog dumped in yard A dog is set to have life saving surgery after it was allegedly dumped in a random yard with a heartbreaking note.

Read moreNASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) are set to launch the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) satellite in March 2025. This ₹5,000-crore joint mission aims to revolutionize Earth observation with cutting-edge technology and unparalleled precision. The satellite, weighing 2.8 tonnes, will be launched aboard ISRO’s GSLV Mk-II rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota, India. NISAR will operate in a sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 747 km, with a planned mission duration of three years. The Vision Behind NISAR Conceived in 2009, the NISAR mission solidifies a decade-long partnership between NASA and ISRO. Initially, NASA sought Germany’s involvement but later partnered with India following ISRO’s successful missions, including Chandrayaan-1 and RISAT-2. The mission formally began in 2014, emphasizing the mutual commitment of the two space agencies to scientific advancement. NISAR’s primary objective is to monitor changes on Earth’s surface with unmatched accuracy. By scanning nearly all of Earth’s land and ice surfaces twice every 12 days, the satellite will capture intricate details about ecosystems, land dynamics, ice formations, and geological phenomena. Advanced Technology Sets NISAR Apart At the heart of NISAR is Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology, which enables the satellite to capture high-resolution images using radio signals. Unlike optical imaging satellites, SAR can operate in darkness, penetrate dense vegetation, and function in adverse weather conditions. NISAR features dual-frequency radars- NASA’s L-band (1.25 GHz) and ISRO’s S-band (3.20 GHz) to achieve a balance between deep penetration and high-resolution imaging. It boasts a 240-km swath width, 10-meter resolution, and a 12-day revisit cycle, making it one of the most advanced Earth observation satellites ever built. The satellite’s massive 12-meter drum-shaped reflector, contributed by NASA, transmits and receives microwave signals to and from Earth’s surface. This reflector underwent rigorous testing in California before being transported to Bengaluru, India, in October 2024 for integration with the spacecraft. Engineers applied reflective tape to manage temperature fluctuations, ensuring the reflector could deploy seamlessly during operations. Transformative Applications of NISAR NISAR’s capabilities are poised to transform several fields: The satellite is expected to generate a staggering 26 terabits of data daily. This data will be processed using a streamlined management system, ensuring timely delivery of critical information for scientific and practical applications. Overcoming Challenges The NISAR mission faced delays due to technical complexities, particularly with its radar antenna reflector. However, NASA and ISRO overcame these challenges, ensuring that the satellite is ready for its 2025 launch. The reflector and other components were successfully reintegrated at ISRO’s Spacecraft Integration and Test Establishment (ISITE) in Bengaluru, marking a significant milestone in the mission’s progress.
