Nigeria dominate Ghana to seal qualification for the 2025 CHAN tournamentFrench lawmakers on Wednesday voted to oust the government of Prime Minister Michel Barnier after just three months in office, a historic move which hurled the country further into political uncertainty. For the first time in over sixty years, the National Assembly lower house toppled the incumbent government, approving a no-confidence motion that had been proposed by the hard left but which crucially was backed by the far-right headed by Marine Le Pen.

EastEnders’ Shona McGarty teases soap return to save Bianca and Sonia from killer psycho Reiss for 40th anniversarySoccer-Villa end winless run with nervy win over BrentfordShe added that she wanted to “bless you all for your beautiful messages” Victoria and Shane Victoria Mary Clarke has revealed how she spent today “in bed all day crying” on the anniversary of her wedding anniversary to her late soulmate and husband Shane MacGowan. “I am not going to lie,” she posted on X this afternoon. “Getting through today has been F***ing hard!!! Been in bed all day crying my eyes out. I love you so much @ShaneMacGowan.” She added that she wanted to “bless you all for your beautiful messages.” We need your consent to load this Social Media content. We use a number of different Social Media outlets to manage extra content that can set cookies on your device and collect data about your activity. And on a hopeful note she ended the powerful message with the declaration that: “I can see a better time!!!!” alongside a series of red heart emojis. It is coming up to a year to the day since the Pogues front man passed away on November 30, 2023. Ahead of the anniversary of his death, artist and writer Victoria spoke about her loss on the Under the Grill podcast with Kevin Dundon and Caoimhe Young. Victoria had joined Kevin and Caoimhe in the kitchen to chat about the homecooked meals she loved growing up, her angel art and, of course, the love of her life. She told the podcast: “Shane is very much with me. It’s weird, sometimes I feel Shane experiencing things through me. “It’s almost like he’s going, ‘go to that movie, I want to see it’. Or ‘talk to that person’, or ‘say that joke, I want to say that joke’.” Victoria also told how she finds solace in her belief in angels and is set to display her angel paintings for the first time ever in an exhibition in Dublin. She said: “Shane would be delighted; he was always nagging me to display my art.” Victoria also spoke about how Barry Keoghan had been approached to play her late husband in a new movie about the Pogues legend. “We talked about a movie long before he died and that’s still in the works,” she told the podcast. “We did talk to Barry Keoghan about playing Shane, and he’s keen,” she added. “Barry would be good,” Kevin agreed, although Victoria admitted it was a “little bit soon to be thinking about that stuff” following the death of Shane last year. “I know there’s a couple of people who want to do tribute things. I’ve been working with a lot of different musicians on a tribute album that I find really, really healing,” she added.

Arsenal delivered the statement Champions League win Mikel Arteta had demanded as they swept aside Sporting Lisbon 5-1. Arteta wanted his team to prove their European credentials following some underwhelming displays away from home, and the Gunners manager got exactly what he asked for. Goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard got their continental campaign back on track in style following the 1-0 defeat at Inter Milan last time out. A memorable victory also ended Sporting’s unbeaten start to the season, a streak of 17 wins and one draw, the vast majority of which prompted Manchester United to prise away head coach Ruben Amorim. The Gunners had failed to win or score in their two away games in the competition so far this season, but they made a blistering start in the Portuguese capital and took the lead after only seven minutes. Declan Rice fed overlapping full-back Jurrien Timber, who curled a low cross in behind the home defence for Martinelli to finish at the far post. Arsenal doubled their lead in the 20th minute thanks to a glorious ball over the top from Thomas Partey. Saka escaped the clutches of his marker Maximiliano Araujo to beat the offside trap and poke the ball past advancing goalkeeper Franco Israel for Havertz to tap home. It was a scintillating first-half display which completely overshadowed the presence of Viktor Gyokeres in Sporting’s attack. The prolific Sweden striker, formerly of Coventry, has been turning the heads of Europe’s top clubs with his 24 goals in 17 games this season – including a hat-trick against Manchester City earlier this month. But the only time he got a sniff of a run at goal after an optimistic long ball, he was marshalled out of harm’s way by Gabriel. David Raya was forced into one save, tipping a fierce Geovany Quenda drive over the crossbar. But Arsenal added a third on the stroke of half-time, Gabriel charging in to head Rice’s corner into the back of the net. To rub salt in the wound, the Brazilian defender mimicked Gyokeres’ hands-over-his-face goal celebration. That may have wound Sporting up as they came out after the interval meaning business, and they pulled one back after Raya tipped Hidemasa Morita’s shot behind, with Goncalo Inacio netting at the near post from the corner. Former Tottenham winger Marcus Edwards fired over, as did Gyokeres, with Arsenal temporarily on the back foot. But when Martin Odegaard’s darting run into the area was halted by Ousmane Diomande’s foul, Saka tucked away the penalty. Substitute Trossard added the fifth with eight minutes remaining, heading in the rebound after Mikel Merino’s shot was saved, and Gyokeres’ miserable night was summed up when his late shot crashed back off the post.

Israeli strikes on a Gaza tent camp kill at least 21 people, hospital says
(The Center Square) – Legislators in Washington, D.C., have taken a number of steps over the past few days to push for insurance and pharmaceutical reforms to be passed before the end of the year. On Wednesday, a bicameral group of Republican and Democrat lawmakers held a press conference discussing the need for pharmacy benefit manager reform to protect small pharmacies across the country and “save lives.” “Whether you are a Republican, Democrat, or an independent, we all want the same thing. We want accessible, affordable, quality health care,” said Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga. “We’re not here today to just discuss one bill or to discuss just one patient’s story. We're here because there's broad, bipartisan pharmacy benefit manager, or PBM, reform that is needed to save lives.” Pharmacy benefit managers are the middlemen responsible for managing the drug prices covered by health insurance plans. According to the Harvard Political Review , the problem with pharmacy benefit managers is that they “have vertically integrated with pharmacy chains and health insurers through massive conglomerates.” That then allows them to abuse their power to cut out small pharmacies and increase prices. Carter also signed a letter that was released last week calling on the Department of Justice to dig into the role pharmacy benefit managers played in the opioid epidemic. Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., Deborah Ross, D-N.C., and Cliff Benz, R-Ore., all joined him in signing that letter. “The opioid crisis has devastated communities in North Carolina and across the country, and PBMs may have fueled it by prioritizing profits over people,” Ross said on social media . “That’s why I joined a letter calling on the DOJ to investigate their role and hold these bad actors accountable.” The letter looked at recent reports on the largest pharmacy benefit managers, CVS Caremark, Express Scripts, and OptumRx which state that they “colluded and conspired to steer patients towards OxyContin in exchange for $400 million.” OxyContin is a trade name for the narcotic oxycodone hydrochloride, a painkiller available by prescription only. This and the general “lack of transparency” is just one of the many complaints that legislators aired on Wednesday. “My colleagues who are joining me today, Democrats and Republicans ... all recognize that PBMs are decreasing the accessibility, the affordability, and therefore the quality of health care in America,” Carter said. “We have an opportunity, right now, to advance bipartisan legislation that increases reporting requirements, which would heighten transparency and shine a light on the opaque practices of these PBMs.” Carter was also joined by Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., who is leading the effort to get legislation passed in the U.S. Senate. “This year, we're losing about one pharmacy a day in America,” Lankford said. “We want leadership to be able to take this up and to bring it up in the end-of-year package ... Stop holding up legislation that is bipartisan, bicameral, and solving a problem that Americans need solved.”A Denver City Council committee on Wednesday advanced in the city, despite strong objections from the industry and retailers that sell e-cigarettes and vapes. The council’s voted 6-1 to move the ban on for consideration at the full council. The final vote would be the second attempt to pass a flavored tobacco ban in the last three years. The measure would ban nearly every kind of flavored tobacco and nicotine product from being sold within the city’s borders, including menthol cigarettes and flavored e-cigarettes and vapes. The goal, according to the ordinance’s sponsors, is to protect the health of young people. Retailers — including Phil Guerin, the owner of vape shop Myxed Up Creations, which has a Denver location — argued the ban would punish law-abiding business owners who do not sell to underage customers and would deprive the city of millions in sales tax revenues. Colorado law sets the minimum age for tobacco products at 21. The proposed ordinance was , but its progress was delayed through November while sponsors met with industry representatives and incorporated feedback. The updated ordinance discussed Wednesday exempts flavored tobacco smoked out of hookah pipes, a common practice in Middle Eastern and North African cultures. The ordinance, including the hookah exemption, closely mirrors the progress of a similar ban that the council passed in 2021. Then-Mayor Michael Hancock , arguing that Denver acting alone — while surrounding municipalities continued to allow sales of flavored products — would not keep tobacco out of the hands of kids. His successor, Mike Johnston, has affirmed his support for the flavor ban if it passes. A public hearing is possible later this month before the full body votes on the measure.

The San Francisco 49ers are not in a good place right now, and that includes the status of Christian McCaffrey. The All-Pro running back after in Sunday's blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills. The loss was a low point for the 5-7 Niners, who have been beset by injuries in a season that began with clear Super Bowl aspirations. McCaffrey was initially said to be out at least six weeks — with five weeks left in the season. Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan provided some reason for hope Wednesday when asked if McCaffrey could conceivably return during the playoffs, saying " ." The player himself, however, seemed a little less optimistic on Instagram hours later. McCaffrey didn't specifically say he was out for the season, but the past tense "This wasn’t my year" and his pledge to "work smarter and harder than ever to come back better from this" certainly make it sound like he's accepted he's not playing again this season. McCaffrey's full caption: Football is the greatest game on the planet to me. I love that you can find out exactly who you are without ever saying a word. It lifts you up and breaks you down and it can happen fast. It’s humbling in the best ways. You can do everything right and still fail. Thats life and that’s football. It’s a constant test of wills and those who just keep going tend to reap the benefits of their perseverance. This wasn’t my year, and sometimes when it rains, it pours. You can feel sorry for yourself and listen to the birds, or you can hold the line. I’m grateful for the support of everyone in my corner and promise I’ll work smarter and harder than ever to come back better from this. I love my teammates, I love the 9ers, and I love football. God doesn’t miss. Onward ➡️🙏🏼 If this is really it for McCaffrey, 2024 will be nothing more than a lost season for one of the best running backs in football. The 28-year-old was a late scratch before Week 1 with a calf and Achilles injury and didn't make his debut until Week 10. McCaffrey ended up playing only four games, with progressively fewer yards from scrimmage in each one. Backup running back Jordan Mason — also set to go on IR with a high ankle sprain — did an admirable job of filling in, but McCaffrey's absence was still noticeable for an offense dependent on high-octane players in skill positions. Assuming he's done, McCaffrey will be back next year, .
