President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday insisted at a meeting with US President-elect Donald Trump that any settlement with Russia after its invasion of Ukraine had to be "just", as fears grow in Kyiv on the position of the incoming administration. President Emmanuel Macron hosted three-way talks with Zelensky and Trump at the Elysee Palace, discussing what the incoming American president had termed a world that was a "little crazy". Hours after their meeting, the outgoing administration of President Joe Biden announced a new $988 million military assistance package for Ukraine. The package features drones, ammunition for precision HIMARS rocket launchers, and equipment and spare parts for artillery systems, tanks and armoured vehicles, the Pentagon said in a statement. Zelensky's meeting with Trump just before the three men headed to Notre Dame for the re-opening ceremony of the great Paris cathedral was his first face-to-face encounter with tycoon-turned-politician since his election victory. The meeting was of huge importance to Zelensky, given fears in Kyiv that Trump, who once boasted he could end Russia's war on Ukraine in 24 hours, may urge Ukraine to make concessions to Moscow. It also offered a unique chance for Macron to gain insights into how a second Trump presidency will look when he takes office in January. The trip to Paris is Trump's first international visit since his November 5 election win. "We all want peace. But it is very important for us... that the peace is just for all of us and that Russia, (Russian President Vladimir) Putin or any other aggressor has no possibility of ever returning," Zelensky said according to the presidential website. "And this is the most important thing -- a just peace and security guarantees, strong security guarantees for Ukraine," he added. Trump has scoffed at the billions of dollars in US military assistance to Ukraine and has spoken of forcing a quick settlement. But Zelensky also thanked Trump for his "unwavering resolve" describing the talks as "good and productive". Trump and Macron embraced and shook hands several times on the steps of the French presidential palace, with Trump given a full guard of honour despite not yet being in office. "It seems like the world is going a little crazy right now and we will be talking about that," Trump told reporters as he prepared to sit down for the talks with Macron. Despite tensions between the two men during his first term, Trump hailed his ties with the centrist French leader, saying: "We had a great relationship as everyone knows. We accomplished a lot." Macron told Trump it was "a great honour for French people to welcome you" for the re-opening ceremony at Notre Dame, which was devastated by a blaze in 2019 during Trump's first term. "You were president at that time and I remember the solidarity and the immediate reaction," Macron added, speaking in English. When he first took office in 2017, Trump's ties with Macron -- then also a fresh face on the world stage -- began warmly despite their obvious political differences. Their long and muscular handshakes -- which saw each man seek to assert his superiority -- became a light-hearted focus of attention before ties cooled, then soured, following disputes about climate change, trade and defence. Trump earlier wrote on his Truth Social platform that the United States should "not get involved" in the situation in Syria, where fast-moving rebel forces say they have begun to encircle the capital Damascus. The Republican's return to power has rung alarms in Paris and many European capitals after his promises on the campaign trail to force an end to fighting in Ukraine and levy tariffs on trading partners. In his own reaction to the discussions, Macron wrote on social media: "Let us continue our joint efforts for peace and security." European allies have largely enjoyed a close working relationship with Biden on the crisis in the Middle East, but Trump is likely to distance himself and ally the United States even more closely with Israel. In a sign of the importance of Trump's one-day trip to Paris, he was accompanied by his pick for White House chief of staff, Susie Wiles, as well as his Near East and Middle East advisors, Steve Witkoff and Massad Boulos, according to a guest list issued by the Elysee Palace. Tesla tycoon and Trump advisor Elon Musk, who was also on the line during a phone call between the incoming president and Zelensky last month, also flew into the French capital was present at the Notre Dame ceremony. sjw/adp/jjShare this Story : PWHL did Ottawa Charge no favours by booking CTC game when it did Copy Link Email X Reddit Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr Breadcrumb Trail Links Sports Hockey PWHL PWHL did Ottawa Charge no favours by booking CTC game when it did It's the timing of the event that left about 8,000 seats empty at Canadian Tire Centre.

But it’s the timing of the event that left about 8,000 seats empty as Ottawa fell embarrassingly short of PWHL record crowds at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena (19,285) and Montreal’s Bell Centre (21,105) last season.

You’ve got the 67’s going, you’ve got us, you’ve got the Sens, we’ve got the World Juniors coming in, it’s Christmas, It’s December ... “All these folks took time and money out of their day to cheer us on at CTC. Unbelievable. We just couldn’t be more pleased with what we had turnout. They tried to carry us through a couple of those periods. We needed them and they delivered. So, you’re never going to get me saying other than we have the best fans in Ottawa, because it’s true.” Hockey fans in Edmonton might disagree. They could think they support the Charge better than Ottawa, as they’ve purchased every available ticket in the 18,500-seat Rogers Place for a Feb. 16 neutral-site game in which Ottawa is the “home team” against Toronto. But that game was also properly scheduled. It falls during the NHL’s two-week break for the 4 Nations Face-Off. Playing at TD Place on Friday was not an option for the Charge, as the 67’s had reservations for what turned out to be a 6-1 win over the Sarnia Sting, but a road game seems like it would have been a solution.

Article content Meanhile, it would have been wise for the PWHL to negotiate the CTC game for the same month as the Edmonton game, when the Senators will be out of their building from Feb. 2-21. Availability is always an issue, but the local NHL arena can’t be booked every night of the season — and just about every other night would have been a better one to have the Charge play its second home game in Kanata. Montreal Victoire’s Mikyla Grant-Mentis (left) celebrates her goal as Ottawa Charge’s Anna Meixner skates away during the second period on Friday night. Photo by PATRICK DOYLE / THE CANADIAN PRESS The sweet taste of revenge The winning goal was scored by Mikyla Grant-Mentis, who had three assists in six games with Ottawa last season before being released and picked up by Montreal. “It felt pretty great,” said the 26-year-old Brampton, Ont., native. “Every time I play Ottawa, I think I always have a little oomph under me, but it was nice to get a goal this time.” Asked if she had any bad feelings with Ottawa after the way things ended last year, Grant-Mentis replied: “I love all the girls.” Reverse effect This is not to say Charge players felt let down when they saw they didn’t draw the numbers that Montreal and Toronto had for PWHL games in their rinks last season, but for whatever reason they didn’t have the expected boost of playing before the largest crowd in franchise history.

Article content MacLeod admitted her players “came out a little bit flat” but didn’t blame the bigger stage as a distraction. “When you get to this level, they’re all pro ... it’s not so much about where you’re playing, it’s that you are playing,” she said. “I don’t think we can lean into any sort of external excuse, I think just internally, we weren’t quite ready to go.” The ice was “tilted” in Ottawa’s favour during the third period, as MacLeod pointed out, but not dramatically. The Charge held an 8-5 edge in shots on goal while looking for the equalizer over the final 20 minutes, and that included a span of 2:33 with goalie Emerance Maschmeyer on the bench for an extra attacker. “We were a little bit on the perimeter tonight, like we were kind of just playing keep away in the zone, versus trying to score a goal,” said MacLeod. “So certainly that’s something we’ll go take a look at and make sure that we’re generating high-end scoring chances.” Bar out The Charge did come close to tying the game when Savannah Harmon’s shot banged off the crossbar. Harmon thought it went in and she raised her arms and punched a fist into the air, and she wasn’t the only one.

Article content “It sounded like it, but it turns out it wasn’t,” said Brianne Jenner, who was on the ice. “I had my arms up,” said Maschmeyer, who was watching from the bench. “It was a good shot. But sometimes you have games where it’s bar down, and other days it’s bar out.” Poulin-ed again Last season, Ottawa held Marie-Philip Poulin to four assists, but no goals, in four games. In two games this season, Poulin has beaten the Charge with a shootout goal (low stick side) and scored again (high glove side) Friday on a shorthanded breakaway. Asked if she thought Poulin would go low stick side again, Maschmeyer replied: “The game is so quick. In those moments, it’s just trying to read her body language. And every situation is different, whether it’s a shootout versus a break, where she’s coming in with more speed. So yeah, I just try to read whatever she’s giving me.” Time to regroup With the PWHL taking an “international break” for its European players to meet other commitments in their homelands, the Charge doesn’t play again until Dec. 17 in Boston. Just three games into the season, it’s a welcome and needed break. “We have a good opportunity here,” said Maschmeyer. “We have about 10 days to work on our craft as a team. We’ve had some moments of really good success and momentum, and other moments where we’ve kind of seen the last few games what we can work on. So we’re excited to get back on the ice and work on our craft.” Recommended from Editorial Ottawa Charge captain Brianne Jenner 'ready to get in the game' for PWHL season debut Third period rally leads Ottawa Charge to victory over Toronto Sceptres in PWHL home opener Article content Share this article in your social network Share this Story : PWHL did Ottawa Charge no favours by booking CTC game when it did Copy Link Email X Reddit Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr Comments You must be logged in to join the discussion or read more comments.

Reports: Rangers G Igor Shesterkin agrees to record $92M dealShoppers flock to B&M to nab £15 winter buy that dries laundry in no time – it saves loads compared to a tumble dryerBangladesh: Former PM Sheikh Hasina mounts fresh attacks on YunusFive Counties Children’s Centre is striving to help families ensure their holidays are happy by offering tips to keep spirits bright and stress under wraps this season. The anxiety and upheaval of extra demands and different routines can make the holidays challenging for parents and children alike, according to a media release from Five Counties, which provides therapy services for children with special needs in Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes, Haliburton, and Northumberland, However, “celebrating the season can still be merry and bright when it’s managed right.” “The holidays can mean a drastic change in schedules and a lot of disruption to routine — which as any parent will tell you, can impact the rhythm of family life,” Five Counties spokesperson Bill Eekhof told kawarthaNOW. “There’s also added excitement and anticipation that come with the holidays, especially for kids, given what awaits them under the tree and where or whom they will visit. Parents and caregivers may also feel pressured to ensure their family has an enjoyable holiday season.” Eekhof added that, while managing the stress of the holidays can be especially challenging for parents and caregivers of children with special needs, it applies to all families. Nicole Captain, an occupational therapist with Five Counties, has some tips for helping families manage the extra pressure of the holiday season and helping children cope with the excitement, anticipation, and altered routines that come with the holidays. Tips includes creating a visual schedule or calendar so children can see what is being planned for holiday time (including breaks or downtime), using photos or maps to help prepare children before travelling to visit family or friends for the holidays, and discussing holiday plans as a family to help manage change and expectations and to choose activities that everyone would like to do together. “Parents and caregivers often feel guilty and pressured to have the picture-perfect holiday that they see on social media or in the movies, but that isn’t always the reality,” Captain said. “The fact is we can still enjoy happy holidays if we keep things simple, stick to structure, go back to basics, and are flexible.” Captain, who works in school-based rehabilitation services at Five Counties, provides occupational therapy support to students and often discusses self-regulation in her classes. “I always tell parents to put on your oxygen mask first, to meet your own regulation needs and support your nervous system so that you can support your child’s needs.” Captain said it’s important to manage the variables that are within control. This including getting enough rest and sticking to sleep schedules, selecting a quiet space where family members can rejuvenate, and eating well and staying well-hydrated. “It’s really going back to the basics,” Captain noted. “We’re optimizing our bodies on the inside to cope with all the stress and changes that go on outside and around us.” Another tip is to unplug from technology as much as possible and make meaningful connections by spending time together as a family. “While being together doesn’t require a lot of preparation, make it quality time to really forge that connection,” Captain said. According to Captain, too much screen time during the holidays can affect a child’s sleep, behaviour, routine, and anxiety levels. If spending time in front of a screen, do it together as a family, but avoid screen time too close to bedtime as children can get overstimulated and their sleep can be affected. Another tip is to make sure you spend time outdoors having fun as a family. “I know going outdoors in the winter months in Canada isn’t something we all like to do, but the importance of sunlight, fresh air, and activity are important for everyone to feel their best,” Captain said. In choosing outdoor activities to do together, families can be purposeful and organized. “There’s time to run around in the snow, but planning a scavenger hunt, designing a snow fort, building a snowman, or trying to see how many animals you can spot in 10 minutes can maximize that outdoor experience,” she explained. If the weather precludes outdoor fun, indoor games are a good alternative. These could include creating an obstacle course, doing a puzzle, or trying out a fun and interactive activity like Cosmic Kids Yoga. “Pick what works for your family and do what you can,” Captain said, “and happy holidays can be within our reach.”
President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue. The request came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court, in which the company argued the court should strike down a law that could ban the platform by Jan. 19 while the government emphasized its position that the statute is needed to eliminate a national security risk. “President Trump takes no position on the underlying merits of this dispute. Instead, he respectfully requests that the Court consider staying the Act’s deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025, while it considers the merits of this case,” said Trump’s amicus brief, which supported neither party in the case and was written by D. John Sauer, Trump’s choice for solicitor general. The argument submitted to the court is the latest example of Trump inserting himself in national issues before he takes office. The Republican president-elect has already begun negotiating with other countries over his plans to impose tariffs, and he intervened earlier this month in a plan to fund the federal government, calling for a bipartisan plan to be rejected and sending Republicans back to the negotiating table. He has been holding meetings with foreign leaders and business officials at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida while he assembles his administration, including a meeting last week with TikTok CEO Shou Chew. Trump has reversed his position on the popular app, having tried to ban it during his first term in office over national security concerns. He joined the TikTok during his 2024 presidential campaign and his team used it to connect with younger voters, especially male voters, by pushing content that was often macho and aimed at going viral. He said earlier this year that he still believed there were national security risks with TikTok, but that he opposed banning it. The filings Friday come ahead of oral arguments scheduled for Jan. 10 on whether the law, which requires TikTok to divest from its China-based parent company or face a ban, unlawfully restricts speech in violation of the First Amendment. The law was was signed by President Joe Biden in April after it passed Congress with broad bipartisan support. TikTok and ByteDance filed a legal challenge afterwards. Earlier this month, a panel of three federal judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit unanimously upheld the statute , leading TikTok to appeal the case to the Supreme Court. The brief from Trump said he opposes banning TikTok at this junction and “seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office.” In their brief to the Supreme Court on Friday, attorneys for TikTok and its parent company ByteDance argued the federal appeals court erred in its ruling and based its decision on “alleged ‘risks’ that China could exercise control” over TikTok’s U.S. platform by pressuring its foreign affiliates. The Biden administration has argued in court that TikTok poses a national security risk due to its connections to China. Officials say Chinese authorities can compel ByteDance to hand over information on TikTok’s U.S. patrons or use the platform to spread or suppress information. But the government “concedes that it has no evidence China has ever attempted to do so,” TikTok’s legal filing said, adding that the U.S. fears are predicated on future risks. In its filing Friday, the Biden administration said because TikTok “is integrated with ByteDance and relies on its propriety engine developed and maintained in China,” its corporate structure carries with it risk.PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jalen Hurts is still in the NFL's concussion protocol, forcing the Philadelphia Eagles to play against Dallas without their star quarterback. The Eagles will turn to backup Kenny Pickett on Sunday because Hurts is still dealing with the lingering effects of a concussion suffered against Washington. Hurts was injured early at Washington after his head slammed against the ground on one run and he was hit in the helmet by Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu at the end of another. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said the Eagles would lean on the medical staff on a daily basis to know where Hurts — who threw two touchdown passes and ran for a pair of scores in the first meeting against Dallas in November — was in his recovery from the head injury. The 26-year-old Hurts did not practice this week, leaving Pickett — who suffered a rib injury in relief action against the Commanders — in line for his first start as an Eagle. Pickett was 14 of 24 for 143 yards against the Commanders, throwing a touchdown pass to A.J. Brown and an interception. Pickett is from New Jersey and said when he was acquired from Pittsburgh that he had “great memories” of going to games at Lincoln Financial Field with his dad and grandfather since he was 5. The chance to run out of the home team tunnel — which he could get Sunday if he’s the starting QB — left him absolutely delighted. “It's a big opportunity,” Pickett said this week. “I've been working hard to stay ready. I felt like I was in a good position last game with my preparation. Now, having a week to practice, I'll feel even better going into the stadium.” Pickett, a first-round pick out of Pitt in 2022, went 14-10 as a starter for the Steelers. The Eagles will bump third-stringer Tanner McKee to the backup spot. The Eagles also signed QB Ian Book this week to the practice squad. There has been recent precedent for quarterbacks to play a week after entering the league’s concussion protocol. Jacksonville's Trevor Lawrence sustained a head injury while scrambling up the middle on the team’s final drive in Week 15 loss to Baltimore last season. Lawrence misfired on seven of his final eight passes after the hit, a stretch that raised concerns on the sideline about his health. Lawrence reported symptoms after the game. He entered the protocol but was cleared in time to start the next game at Tampa Bay. The Eagles (12-3) could decide to play it safe and rest Hurts with the team needing a win against Dallas or the New York Giants to clinch the NFC East and the No. 2 seed in the NFC. Hurts shook off a sluggish start over the first four games and has thrown 18 touchdowns against just five interceptions to turn the Eagles into Super Bowl contenders. Thanks in large part to the tush push, Hurts has 14 rushing touchdowns this season. The Eagles won the Super Bowl for the 2017 season behind backup QB Nick Foles when starter Carson Wentz went down with a late-season injury. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL
Kwara Commissioner To Parents: Let Children Choose Their Career PathsThe are currently 3-12 this season with two games left. After their win last week against the , the team fell out of the top five of the NFL draft order, which could come back to haunt them next season if nothing changes. According to a recent ranking by 's Alex Ballentine, if the Raiders cannot draft a good quarterback in 2025, they will most likely have another season of struggles. On top of that harsh reality, the Raiders were also tabbed as a "multiyear project." Las Vegas has been the heavy favorite to land Colorado quarterback or Miami quarterback Cam Ward, but if their current draft position holds, it is unlikely they will be able to snag one of them.
