Mikel Arteta reveals Arsenal star Bukayo Saka will miss ‘more than two months’Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta revealed that Bukayo Saka is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after undergoing a procedure on his injured hamstring. The 23-year-old pulled up in the 24th minute with an injury during their 5-1 win over Crystal Palace and was unable to continue. As a result, he was ruled out of their clash with Ipswich on Friday. Arteta revealed shortly after that Saka would be facing several weeks on the sidelines after a scan revealed the full extent of his injury. "It’s not looking good," the Spaniard said. "He’s going to be out for many weeks. I cannot be too specific because I don’t know but it will be many weeks." However, the Gunners star is now facing at least two months out having undergone a procedure to fix the problem, which will come as a huge blow for the north London side. And after watching his side beat Ipswich 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium, Arteta told reporters in his post-match press conference that Saka would be ruled out for a few months. It will represent a massive blow for the Gunners, who climbed into second place in the Premier League and moved within six points of leaders Liverpool , who have a game in hand. Arsenal enjoyed total domination against their relegation-threatened opponents and even had 92 per cent possession at one stage in the first half. Kai Havertz 's close-range effort, his seventh league goal of the season, was enough to hand them the points as David Raya didn't face a single shot on target. But Arteta's men lacked the same killer instinct they usually possess at home to put the game beyond doubt, with Gabriel Magalhaes and Havertz both missing gilt-edged chances to increase the scoreline. The Spaniard admitted his side will have to get used to being without Saka after misfiring in front of goal. "Frustration when you win? No. Things to improve? Yes," Arteta told Amazon Prime Sport. "They started very significantly and we have to get used to that. Credit to them as they're very well organised, but we restricted them to nothing - we had two or three openings." When asked what it was like without Saka, he added: "Very different, but we will evolve that. In the second half I liked it more. It will take a bit of time." With Saka out and Raheem Sterling ruled out for the coming weeks with a separate issue, Arteta stayed tight-lipped on whether the Gunners would choose to enter the market in January for another attacker. "We don't know. We will see, hopefully we don't see any more injuries," he added.2 / 12 Pranks on social media are all fun and games until the police get an idea of what you’re doing and it leads to your arrest.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Pittsburgh quarterback Eli Holstein was carted off the field and taken to a hospital with a left leg injury sustained while being sacked in the first quarter of Saturday's Atlantic Coast Conference game at Louisville. The redshirt freshman's left ankle was caught at an awkward angle beneath Louisville defensive end Ashton Gillotte's hip on a twisting tackle for a 4-yard loss at midfield. Panthers medical personnel rushed to Holstein's aid, with a cart arriving quickly on the field within minutes. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content.

The political stakes amid all this turnover are high, with a crippling budget crisis and unresolved sale of the Coliseum leaving the city possibly on the path to fiscal insolvency. Who are the eight council members set to lead Oakland next year, alongside a new mayor? Here’s where things stand: The only seat to represent the entire city was fought over by 10 candidates vying to replace retiring Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan. Brown, a staffer for state Assemblymember Mia Bonta, D-Oakland, emerged successful, fending off the name recognition of former police Chief LeRonne Armstrong by a 56% to 43% margin in ranked-choice votes. Of all the candidates for council, Brown received the most financial support from SEIU Local 1021, the city’s largest labor union. She has promised a multi-pronged solution for taking on crime, including an increase in funds for Oakland’s unarmed crisis-response program, MACRO. Brown, who did not respond to an interview request, could possibly look to avoid some more contentious routes to fixing the budget, including negotiating a pay cut for the unions or slashing city services to spare reductions at the Oakland Police Department, which frequently overspends. Unger handily won the race to succeed retiring Councilmember Dan Kalb in representing areas of North Oakland near the Emeryville border and the Rockridge, Piedmont and Grand Lake neighborhoods, plus part of Adams Point above Lake Merritt. His labor backing will come as no surprise given his longtime role leading the Oakland firefighters’ union and his previous political alliance with Thao. But the Brown University and UC Berkeley grad, a former firefighter, bills himself as a “pragmatist” who has seen the city renegotiate its past labor contracts and recognizes that such a move could be part of a solution to the crisis. “We need to fund public safety fully,” Unger said of police, fire and other violence-prevention staff, though he said cops and firefighters may ultimately be lost through attrition. He also noted a possible quarter-cent sales tax may appear on next spring’s special election ballot to replace the mayor. Thao is likely to leave office after the council certifies election results at a Dec. 17 meeting, at which point Bas, who has two years left in her District 2 term, would become interim mayor as president of the council. But she may end up holding that office for only a few weeks. Bas likely will join the Alameda County Board of Supervisors in January, if her lead over Emeryville’s John Bauters remains when results are finalized. At that point, the new City Council would select from its 2025 roster both a new president and someone to serve as interim mayor, given that the current next in line, President Pro-Tempore Kalb, is also leaving office. Bas’ likely departure means Oakland would have another special election next year to permanently fill her District 2 seat, which represents Chinatown, Jack London Square and areas south of Lake Merritt, including the San Antonio neighborhood. The election would take place within 120 days of Bas leaving office, per the city charter, but the council may also have a pathway to appoint a temporary replacement until then. It’s very possible the election, which county officials estimate will cost several million dollars, could replace Thao and Bas in one go. By a 58% to 41% ranked-choice margin, Fife defeated her closest opponent, Warren Logan, withstanding the financial backing he received from a tougher-on-crime, more fiscally conservative political outfit. She credited a boots-on-the-ground campaign approach for her success. But now she faces a budget crisis exacerbated by the still-pending sale of the Oakland Coliseum. Meanwhile, she is pondering a mayoral run next spring if Congresswoman Barbara Lee isn’t convinced by Fife and other Democrats in Oakland to go for the job. At a meeting last week, she railed against unnamed city officials for misrepresenting the core problems behind the crisis — heavily intimating that the police department should be held to account for its overspending. Ramachandran, who just gave birth to a son, is on maternity leave “for the next few weeks,” she told this news organization on Nov. 18. How long she’s gone may end up being relevant to the council’s ability to hold quorum, with Bas leaving District 2 vacant and another member likely to become the interim mayor. The eight-member council needs five members present to hold meetings and vote, and additional absences could jeopardize that if Ramachandran misses extended time. A social-justice lawyer, Ramachandran has been most notable on the council for opposing Thao’s budget plans and pushing for more conservative spending amid an uncertain Coliseum sale. She has said a mayoral run isn’t under consideration, despite the last three mayors hailing from District 4, which spans a diverse range of Oakland neighborhoods from Allendale in the east to Montclair in the north. Gallo soon will be the longest-tenured councilmember — and in recent years, the one who’s least engaged in policy talks. But his community work and name recognition helped him win 59% of ranked-choice votes in a bid to continue representing District 5, which covers parts of East Oakland between 23rd and 54th avenues, including the Fruitvale neighborhood. He is often hostile toward city officials over Oakland’s budgetary woes and is likely to support hardline measures for fixing the crisis. As the city’s financial situation worsens, Jenkins is adamant that the council’s budgeting of still-pending Coliseum revenues in the summer had its benefits. He was keen to note at a meeting last week how budget saves in the fire department may have helped spare homes during the recent Oakland Hills wildfire. Jenkins’ community relationships are steadily growing his clout as a first-term councilmember in District 6, which spans areas between the Coliseum and Merritt College and across to the Eastmont Hills neighborhood. The fast-talking Houston benefited from a chaotic musical-chairs game that followed Treva Reid’s decision not to seek another term to represent East Oakland near the San Leandro and Alameda borders in District 7. Houston, who won 52% of the ranked-choice votes, is as vocally pro-police as anyone on the council next year and his lack of political experience make him a wild card in the upcoming budget talks. He didn’t respond to an interview request.B.C. man who flipped 14 homes in four years is fined $2M for tax evasion
EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings waived cornerback Akayleb Evans on Saturday in another setback for their beleaguered 2022 draft class. Evans started 15 games last season, but he had been relegated to a special teams role this year after the Vikings added veteran cornerbacks Stephon Gilmore and Shaquill Griffin. Evans was a fourth-round pick out of Missouri, one of three defensive backs among Minnesota's first five selections in 2022. Lewis Cine (first round) was waived and Andrew Booth (second round) was traded earlier this year. One of their second-round picks, guard Ed Ingram, lost his starting spot last week. Evans was let go to clear a roster spot for tight end Nick Muse, who was activated from injured reserve to play on Sunday at Chicago. The Vikings ruled tight end Josh Oliver out of the game with a sprained ankle. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL

E lon Musk’s tech bros have clashed with the Maga rank and file over immigration for Silicon Valley workers, exposing the fragile alliance forged to put Donald Trump in the White House. The chief executive of Tesla — who spent $277 million backing Trump and other Republicans during November’s election — believes America must attract top engineering talent to secure technological dominance over China. Musk, 53, who has been put in charge of cutting government waste in Trump’s incoming administration, joined other prominent Silicon Valley figures in criticising a lack of highly-skilled workers to meet the industry’s demands at a time of intense competition over artificial intelligence. Trump’s base — energised by the president-elect’s harsh rhetoric — is broadly opposed to immigration, however, whether skilled orWhile the chance of a heated political discussion at your Thanksgiving table might be extra high this year, the chance of getting COVID at your family gathering is lower than it has been in the past several years. That’s even with millions of Californians expected to travel for the holiday . “The bottom line is that we’re in a very, very good place at this moment,” said Dr. John Swartzberg, clinical professor emeritus of infectious diseases and vaccinology at UC Berkeley. Going into the fifth year of post-COVID Thanksgiving festivities, levels of the virus are low statewide, and around most of the country. Santa Clara County’s wastewater testing, which measures levels of the virus in local sewer sheds, shows the virus at low levels across the county. Data from California’s public health department shows “RSV and influenza activity are low but increasing” and “COVID-19 is currently low in California,” according to data through November 16. As of this fall, California public health officials publish data on COVID, along with flu and RSV, in weekly respiratory virus updates. The update from the week before Thanksgiving shows the test positivity rates for influenza and RSV have started to rise, while COVID test positivity, hospitalizations and deaths remain low. “We went through a really late summer wave, and that really got a lot of Americans immunized,” Swartzberg noted, as a possible explanation for why COVID has yet to start surging this winter, typically a season when rates are high. In past winters, COVID started to surge in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving. While rates are low now, the threat of COVID has hardly disappeared. While the risk has diminished, it still takes a devastating toll, killing Californians every day. Since June 30 of this year, the beginning of the respiratory virus season, 1,691 Californians have died from COVID . In the same time, 49 have died from influenza, and another 10 have died from RSV. And while COVID was once seen as less of a threat to young children than other respiratory illnesses, it has accounted for three pediatric deaths so far this season. Meanwhile, one pediatric death has been attributed to flu in the first four and a half months since the respiratory virus season began. The continued deadly threat of the virus is why public health officials continue to prioritize vaccination, especially for the most vulnerable, those most likely to have a bad outcome. But given rising skepticism around the COVID vaccine, many public health agencies are taking a different approach to encouraging people to get a shot. And those new approaches might be working this year, with vaccination rates up around the country compared to the same time the year before. But there is lots of progress to be made, said Swartzberg, adding that annual flu vaccine uptake is still much higher than for the COVID vaccine. “Americans have it sort of backwards” Swartzberg said. “There are many more [Americans] immunized against influenza than COVID, yet COVID is a much more serious disease.” As of this week, 18% of eligible people in Santa Clara County had received an updated COVID vaccine, about twice the statewide vaccination rate of 9.6%. But 30% of eligible residents in the county have received a flu vaccine this year. ”Even though our rates are low, we are still doing better than last year,” Dr. Sara Cody, the Santa Clara County health officer, said last week, during a panel hosted by the Big Cities Health Coalition , adding that she and her agency are still looking for new strategies to encourage vaccination. “Our strategies are changing away from telling and more to listening and understanding,” she said.
