Former Dolphins All-Pro could sign with rival Bills to ‘push them over the top’ to Super Bowl | Sporting NewsSANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — After three straight losses, including back-to-back blowouts , the San Francisco 49ers needed a get-right game. The Chicago Bears helped provide just that. Brock Purdy carved up Chicago's defense to lead San Francisco to its best offensive output of the season and the defense dominated the Bears in a 38-13 win Sunday that looked a lot more like the team that went to the Super Bowl last season than the one that has struggled in 2024. “I think just the biggest thing was just getting some energy and momentum,” Purdy said. “This league is hard. It’s tough. If you don’t have momentum or energy and belief within a building, it can be really tough.” The problem for San Francisco (6-7) is it might be too late to salvage its playoff hopes. Three blown fourth-quarter leads to division rivals and the lopsided losses at Green Bay and Buffalo the previous two weeks leave the Niners two games out of the playoffs with only four games to go. They might need to win out to get back to the postseason for a fourth straight season, and even then they could need some help because their three division losses will make it tough to win any tiebreakers in the tightly packed NFC West. “If we win every single game, I think we’ve put ourselves in a very good position to either win the division or somehow sneak our way into playoff contention,” tight end George Kittle said. “I thought everyone’s focused on this one week. ... Forget the whole season whether you’ve played like crap the entire season, whether you’ve had missed opportunities, or whether you have a bunch of touchdowns. Whatever it is, flush all that and just focus on this one game.” What’s working Big plays. The Niners repeatedly gashed the Bears for big plays as the passing game looked as good as it has all season. Purdy had eight completions go for at least 20 yards — tied for the most in any game for the 49ers since at least 1991 — with Kittle catching four of them, Isaac Guerendo two and one each for Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings. What needs help Kickoffs. Jake Moody attempted two line-drive kicks as San Francisco tried to pin Chicago deep instead of allowing a touchback. But both kicks landed shy of the landing zone at the 20, giving the Bears the ball at the 40. Stock up DL Yetur Gross-Matos. The Niners have been struggling to generate a pass rush with Nick Bosa sidelined, but Gross-Matos made a big impact on Sunday. He had a career-high three sacks in the game after coming into the game with just one this season. Stock down S Ji'Ayir Brown. The second-year safety lost his starting job with the return of Talanoa Hufanga from a wrist injury. Brown played 15 defensive snaps in a spot role and was beat on a TD pass to Rome Odunze in his limited action. Injuries Guerendo has a sprained foot and will be evaluated later this week to see if he can play. ... OL Ben Bartch will likely go on IR after suffering a high ankle sprain Sunday. ... LB Dre Greenlaw could return this week for the first time since tearing his Achilles tendon in the Super Bowl. ... DL Nick Bosa (hip, oblique) and LT Trent Williams (ankle) will be evaluated this week but there is no timeline on when they will return. ... LG Aaron Banks cleared the concussion protocol and should play this week. ... LB Dee Winters (ankle), S Malik Mustapha (chest, shoulder) and LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles are day-to-day. Key number 305 — The 49ers outgained the Bears by 305 yards in the first half for the ninth best advantage in a first half since at least 1991. The 319 yards for San Francisco were the most by any team in a first half this season and the 4 yards allowed were the fewest. What’s next The 49ers host the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night.

Biden says Assad's fall in Syria is a 'fundamental act of justice,' but 'a moment of risk'AP Business SummaryBrief at 3:58 p.m. EST
California to consider requiring mental health warnings on social media sites
Joe Burrow is no longer talking about the playoffs after another loss by the high-scoring Bengals‘France needs compromise’ says MP from Macron’s partyThe first anniversary of Javier Milei’s government finds Peronism united but disorganised. With the few governors who survived the 2023 elections trying to pass by unnoticed, the centre of attention moves to Buenos Aires Province where the opposition party maintains its main figures. Today, they barely manage to share a photo (without even posing) and are far from resolving their differences. The image is old. Peronism already understood for the 2019 election that unity was the path. Now it is repeating: unity, unity, unity. If any possibility of returning to power exists, it is only together. But differences also exist and the path towards the next elections is not so clear. At last Monday’s meeting of the Buenos Aires Province branch of the Partido Justicialista (PJ), in which leading figures Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, Sergio Massa and Axel Kicillof all participated, they tried to project a scenario of harmony. There were some hitches because, in reality, nobody wanted a genuine debate. It was much like a Christmas dinner, in which no member of the family is ready to ruin the get-together, preferring to hold their peace. As a guest at the meeting, new national PJ chair Cristina Fernández de Kirchner mentioned the need to understand that the political enemy to combat is President Javier Milei. But then she also spoke of the infighting in which Kirchnerism has been trapped for some months now. “I’ve often heard being told to back Axel. When I made him [my economy] minister, I supported him, while half the Cabinet cursed me and when I chose him as gubernatorial candidate, I supported him, while half the mayors cursed me,” she complained. At the end of her speech when the meeting was already winding up, Buenos Aires Province Community Development Minister Andrés ‘ ’ Larroque asked to take the floor. There were no longer any microphones but Máximo Kirchner gave him one anyway. Larroque said: “Nobody had any doubts about support in 2019 but I’m asking for support now with Milei in government and Axel as the option for the future.” That’s where it all ended. The most vocal critics of the current Peronist leadership in the hands of CFK and Máximo Kirchner in Buenos Aires Province were not present. Avellaneda Mayor Jorge Ferraresi and national deputy Victoria Tolosa Paz preferred to stay away. The latter had complained at the February meeting that there were no representatives of Kicillof, nor was he invited. Now that he had showed up, she decided not to. This sector of Peronism, which has Ferraresi as its most visible face but which includes other mayors such as Mario Secco (in Ensenada), promises to present their own lists in the next election. Unity in Buenos Aires Province is proclaimed but not assured. The differences are not just over leadership and future electoral candidates. As Perfil has already anticipated, the leaders cannot agree over how Buenos Aires Province should go to the ballot-boxes next year. Fernández de Kirchner believes that next year’s midterms, when the list of national deputies will be elected by a single paper ballot, should be held on the same day the provincial categories are elected by the traditional system. What the former two-term president is proposing is the nationalisation of the elections, so that the citizenry will go to the polling-booths to definitively endorse the Milei administration or not. She assures that if the voting is on different dates, the focus will be on BA province, centring on tales of crimes and other provincial problems. Massa also goes for concurrent elections on the same day with different systems. He recalls that if many provinces had not held their elections on different dates last year, Unión por la Patria might have clinched the three extra percentage points to win in the first round. In La Plata they do not think likewise: “Sixteen governors cannot all be wrong and a bunch of idiots,” as they say about the different provincial election dates to which they are accustomed. They do not fear a provincial focus to the election because they assure that in a clash between Kicillof and Milei, the Buenos Aires Province governor leads by several heads in his own territory. Besides, in La Plata they say that the 84 Peronist mayors all want their elections on a different date to the national. But the PJ stays mum. “It was not the time to discuss it but I don’t know why they are in such a hurry if it can be worked out in April. It’s still not known whether there will be PASO primaries or whether they will be eliminated and they want to impose voting which will only occasion chaos for the people of Buenos Aires Province,” say sources in La Plata’s government house. Fernández de Kirchner, meanwhile, on Wednesday formally took over the national PJ leadership. In this first year of the Milei government, Peronism barely lost three seats in the Chamber of Deputies and avoided any exodus in the Senate (a positive balance bearing in mind the disintegration it suffered after the defeat against Mauricio Macri). But the PJ chair aims to bring into line those in the opposition caucus who in recent votes benefitted the Milei government with carefully timed absences and votes. It won’t be easy. Some of those legislators respond to Peronist governors who until now have preferred to maintain good links with the Casa Rosada. Unión por la Patria only managed to hang onto six provinces in last year’s election, of which only four of their provincial heads resist: Axel Kicillof, Gildo Insfrán (Formosa), Ricardo Quintela (La Rioja) and Sergio Ziliotto (La Pampa). In contrast, Osvaldo Jaldo (Tucumán) immediately placed his deputies at the service of the Casa Rosada with Raúl Jalil of Catamarca following suit. Ads Space Ads Space
‘Qatar working with int’l partners to support Syria’s transition period’
TEL AVIV: Israel has watched the rapid overthrow of the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad with a mixture of hope and concern as officials weigh the consequences of one of the most significant strategic shifts in the Middle East in years. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the ousting of Assad as an “historic day” that followed the blows delivered by Israel against Assad’s supporters Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon that had created a chain reaction throughout the region. “This of course creates new, very important opportunities for the State of Israel. But it is also not without risks,” he said on a visit to the border area on Sunday. Israel has pushed tanks over the border into the buffer zone with Syria to prevent a spillover from the turmoil there, but has declared its intention of staying out of the conflict engulfing its neighbour. Netanyahu said Israel was working on a policy of “good neighbourliness” and would “extend a hand of peace” to Druze, Kurds, Christians and Muslims. “We will closely follow developments. We will do what is necessary to protect our border and protect our security,” he said in a filmed statement. The lightning advance of Syrian rebel forces since their seizure of Aleppo last week has thrown further turmoil into a region already reeling from the shocks of the war in Gaza and Israel’s subsequent campaign against the Iranian-backed Hezbollah movement in Lebanon. “At the moment, if we aren’t attacked we will just retain the current situation,” Israel’s Consul General in New York Ofir Akunis told Reuters. “Nobody should think that this threat of the Shiite-Iranian axis of evil has been eliminated entirely, there are changes but we need everyone... to be even more vigilant about this,” said Akunis. Overnight, the Israeli military said it was not interfering with internal events in Syria but would “operate as long as necessary in order to preserve the buffer zone and defend Israel and its civilians.” The rapid collapse of the Syrian government has presented Israel with a mix of problems and opportunity, said Dina Lisnyansky, a specialist in regional politics at Tel Aviv University. Iran’s inability to protect its long-time ally Assad has underlined the weakness laid bare by Israel’s devastating campaign against Hezbollah, which left the long-time Iranian proxy reeling, its long-feared missile arsenal largely destroyed and most of its top leadership dead. But the advance of a disparate group of rebel forces with roots in the Islamist ideology of Al Qaeda risks re-igniting chaos in Syria and creating a new security threat on Israel’s borders. “It really depends on what happens next in Syria,” Lisnyansky said. “We need to know if it goes to the peaceful side of events or perhaps whether a new civil war could occur in Syria, which would of course endanger our borders,” she said.

Trump calls for immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and says a US withdrawal from NATO is possibleMADRID : A second-half double from Antoine Griezmann earned Atletico Madrid a stunning 4-3 comeback home win over Sevilla in LaLiga on Sunday, as the hosts claimed their ninth straight win in all competitions. Atletico made a dominant start at home, with Griezmann hitting the crossbar before Rodrigo De Paul opened the scoring in the 10th minute, hammering a rocket from the edge of the box and into the top corner. Sevilla's Dodi Lukebakio equalised just two minutes later with a powerful low strike following a corner before Isaac Romero put them ahead after a quick counter-attack in the 32nd minute, shooting across goalkeeper Jan Oblak, who could only get a finger to the ball. Juanlu Sanchez extended the visitors' advantage in the 57th minute with a close-range finish off Kike Salas's second assist of the game before Griezmann pulled one back for Atletico five minutes later. Substitute Samuel Lino struck from long range to beat Sevilla keeper Alvaro Fernandez, who had pulled off some key saves but could not prevent the Brazilian's first goal of the season. Griezmann found the net again four minutes into stoppage time to seal the victory that left Atletico third in the standings with 35 points, one behind Real Madrid and three shy of leaders Barcelona.
By ADRIANA GOMEZ LICON FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump promised on Tuesday to “vigorously pursue” capital punishment after President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of most people on federal death row partly to stop Trump from pushing forward their executions. Related Articles National Politics | Elon Musk’s preschool is the next step in his anti-woke education dreams National Politics | Trump’s picks for top health jobs not just team of rivals but ‘team of opponents’ National Politics | Biden will decide on US Steel acquisition after influential panel fails to reach consensus National Politics | Biden vetoes once-bipartisan effort to add 66 federal judgeships, citing ‘hurried’ House action National Politics | A history of the Panama Canal — and why Trump can’t take it back on his own Trump criticized Biden’s decision on Monday to change the sentences of 37 of the 40 condemned people to life in prison without parole, arguing that it was senseless and insulted the families of their victims. Biden said converting their punishments to life imprisonment was consistent with the moratorium imposed on federal executions in cases other than terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder. “Joe Biden just commuted the Death Sentence on 37 of the worst killers in our Country,” he wrote on his social media site. “When you hear the acts of each, you won’t believe that he did this. Makes no sense. Relatives and friends are further devastated. They can’t believe this is happening!” Presidents historically have no involvement in dictating or recommending the punishments that federal prosecutors seek for defendants in criminal cases, though Trump has long sought more direct control over the Justice Department’s operations. The president-elect wrote that he would direct the department to pursue the death penalty “as soon as I am inaugurated,” but was vague on what specific actions he may take and said they would be in cases of “violent rapists, murderers, and monsters.” He highlighted the cases of two men who were on federal death row for slaying a woman and a girl, had admitted to killing more and had their sentences commuted by Biden. On the campaign trail, Trump often called for expanding the federal death penalty — including for those who kill police officers, those convicted of drug and human trafficking, and migrants who kill U.S. citizens. “Trump has been fairly consistent in wanting to sort of say that he thinks the death penalty is an important tool and he wants to use it,” said Douglas Berman, an expert on sentencing at Ohio State University’s law school. “But whether practically any of that can happen, either under existing law or other laws, is a heavy lift.” Berman said Trump’s statement at this point seems to be just a response to Biden’s commutation. “I’m inclined to think it’s still in sort of more the rhetoric phase. Just, ‘don’t worry. The new sheriff is coming. I like the death penalty,’” he said. Most Americans have historically supported the death penalty for people convicted of murder, according to decades of annual polling by Gallup, but support has declined over the past few decades. About half of Americans were in favor in an October poll, while roughly 7 in 10 Americans backed capital punishment for murderers in 2007. Before Biden’s commutation, there were 40 federal death row inmates compared with more than 2,000 who have been sentenced to death by states. “The reality is all of these crimes are typically handled by the states,” Berman said. A question is whether the Trump administration would try to take over some state murder cases, such as those related to drug trafficking or smuggling. He could also attempt to take cases from states that have abolished the death penalty. Berman said Trump’s statement, along with some recent actions by states, may present an effort to get the Supreme Court to reconsider a precedent that considers the death penalty disproportionate punishment for rape. “That would literally take decades to unfold. It’s not something that is going to happen overnight,” Berman said. Before one of Trump’s rallies on Aug. 20, his prepared remarks released to the media said he would announce he would ask for the death penalty for child rapists and child traffickers. But Trump never delivered the line. One of the men Trump highlighted on Tuesday was ex-Marine Jorge Avila Torrez, who was sentenced to death for killing a sailor in Virginia and later pleaded guilty to the fatal stabbing of an 8-year-old and a 9-year-old girl in a suburban Chicago park several years before. The other man, Thomas Steven Sanders, was sentenced to death for the kidnapping and slaying of a 12-year-old girl in Louisiana, days after shooting the girl’s mother in a wildlife park in Arizona. Court records show he admitted to both killings. Some families of victims expressed anger with Biden’s decision, but the president had faced pressure from advocacy groups urging him to make it more difficult for Trump to increase the use of capital punishment for federal inmates. The ACLU and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops were some of the groups that applauded the decision. Biden left three federal inmates to face execution. They are Dylann Roof, who carried out the 2015 racist slayings of nine Black members of Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina; 2013 Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev ; and Robert Bowers, who fatally shot 11 congregants at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue in 2018 , the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S history.
