Jason Kelce will try his hand at late-night television early next year. Kelce announced during an appearance on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Thursday night that he will host “They Call It Late Night with Jason Kelce,” on ESPN. The one-hour show will tape on five straight Friday nights beginning Jan. 3. That coincides with the last week of the NFL’s regular season and the playoffs. The show will originate in front of a live audience from Union Transfer in Philadelphia. The first four episodes will air at 1 a.m. EST starting on Jan. 4 with the final episode coming on at 1:30 a.m. EST on Feb. 1. “I loved late-night shows, I’ve always loved them. I remember sleepovers watching Conan O’Brien with my friends,” Kelce said on Kimmel’s show. “We’re going to have a bunch of guys up there — legends of the game, friends that I played with, coaches, celebrities,” Kelce said. The Philadelphia-based band Snacktime will provide the show’s music. The show’s title is a homage to “They Call it Pro Football,” which was NFL Films’ first full-length film in 1967. NFL Films originated in Philadelphia and founders Ed and Steve Sabol are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It also featured the legendary voice of John Facenda, who did the news on Philadelphia television before becoming better known as the voice of NFL Films. NFL Films will produce the show in conjunction with Kelce’s Wooderboy Productions and Skydance Sports. Each episode will also be also seen on Replays airing on ESPN2, and also be available on ESPN+, ESPN’s YouTube channel and the Jason Kelce channel on YouTube. Kelce is in the first year of a multi-year agreement with ESPN. He appears on the network’s “Monday Night Countdown” show as well as providing halftime and postgame analysis. He played 13 years for the Philadelphia Eagles before retiring at the end of last season and was the most sought-after former player by networks. He participated in last year’s NFL Broadcasting and Media Workshop, which used to be known as the “Broadcast Bootcamp.”
Keir Starmer has been accused of “undermining Brexit” and the will of the people with his plans to hire an EU negotiator to reset Britain’s relationship with the European Union . The role, which comes with a whopping £200,000 per year salary will focus on leading discussions with the trading bloc as the Prime Minister continues to strengthen Britain’s relationship with them. Starmer has made no secret of his desire to “reset” Britain’s relationship with the EU and has made several high-profile trips to EU countries and summits since his election in July. But the plan to hire an additional bureaucrat has caused fury amongst senior figures in the Conservative party who have blasted the direction of travel under the new Prime Minister. Shadow Foreign Secretary Priti Patel MP said: “ Keir Starmer continues to undermine Brexit and our status as a sovereign nation with his plan to take the country back into the EU. “The Conservative Party will not stand by and allow the will of the British people be reversed while Labour arrogantly capitulates to the EU.” Labour says the new approach will tackle trade barriers, address people-smuggling, and enhance cooperation with allies to counter threats such as Russian aggression. Labour sources have dismissed the idea that the move is an attempt to reverse Brexit , with the Prime Minister stating on the record that he has no plans to re-enter the customs union or single market. A Labour source said: “There will be no return to the EU, customs union, single market or freedom of movement.” In October, Keir Starmer pledged to “make Brexit work” at a meeting with European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen. But any reset of relations with the EU is likely to require Britain making concessions including the acceptance of migrants or some form of freedom of movement. Speaking at the time Starmer said: “Better cooperation with the EU will deliver the benefits the British people deserve – securing our borders, keeping us safe and boosting economic growth.” According to the Times , Ms von der Leyen will want the UK to agree to a new asylum pact from 2026 which will see member states resettle a set number of asylum seekers. It is believed that this figure could be as many as 30,000 per year. It is also believed that the EU will push the idea of a youth mobility scheme , something it sees as simple to implement and a gesture of goodwill. One EU official told the Guardian: “The commission mainly wants to see if Starmer is willing to engage on the detail of a youth mobility scheme. If he shows a willingness to do so, that could unlock a lot of other ‘low-hanging fruit’ such as a defence deal.”New York takes on St. Louis after Panarin's 2-goal showingTrue freshman Luke Kromenhoek threw three touchdown passes and Caziah Holmes ran for two more as host Florida State routed Charleston Southern 41-7 on Saturday afternoon in Tallahassee, Fla. The Seminoles (2-9) convincingly snapped a six-game losing streak and ensured that the Buccaneers (1-11) would finish theirs on a 10-game skid. Florida State has not had much to celebrate during one of its worst seasons in program history. But on Saturday, the Seminoles overcame a rough start and put together one of their more complete efforts of the season. Florida State had not scored more than 21 points in a game prior to Saturday's contest and its 175 rushing yards more than doubled its average (80.5 per game) this season. No single runner had over 40 yards, but seven rushers combined for that output on 34 attempts. The Seminoles entered the game ranked 130th out of 133 FBS teams in rushing offense. Holmes, a senior, finished with three carries for 38 yards, including touchdown runs of 3 and 18 yards. Kromenhoek gave Florida State a sliver of hope for its quarterback future as he completed 13 of 20 passes for 209 yards and no interceptions. He threw TD passes for Amaree Williams, Ja'Khi Douglas and Hykeem Williams. The highlight was a 71-yard touchdown pass to Douglas on the first play from scrimmage of the second half to put the Seminoles ahead 24-0. Douglas finished with 82 yards receiving on three catches, and 10 different Florida State players caught passes for 240 total yards. The Seminoles went 6 of 10 on third downs after averaging only a 25 percent conversion rate all season. Their defense held Charleston Southern to 275 total yards (57 rushing) and forced two turnovers. Florida State was unable to hang on to the shutout, however, as Bucs quarterback Kaleb Jackson found Landon Sauers for a 7-yard touchdown pass with 57 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Jackson completed 22 of 32 passes for 218 yards, one touchdown and one interception. The Bucs defense recorded three sacks led by Davion Williams, who had eight tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and one sack. The Seminoles will conclude their season next Saturday at home against rival Florida. --Field Level Media

Sunday's attacks in northern and central Israel came in response to deadly Israeli strikes in central Beirut on Saturday. Israel struck southern Beirut on Sunday. Meanwhile, negotiators press on with cease-fire efforts to halt the all-out war. And Lebanon's military says an Israeli strike on a Lebanese army center in the southwest killed one soldier and wounded 18 others. Israel's military has expressed regret and said its operations are directed solely against the militants. Israel cracks down on Palestinian citizens who speak out against the war in Gaza UMM AL-FAHM, Israel (AP) — In the year since the war in Gaza broke out, Israel's government has been cracking down on dissent among its Palestinian citizens. Authorities have charged Palestinians with “supporting terrorism” because of posts online or for demonstrating against the war. Activists and rights watchdogs say Palestinians have also lost jobs, been suspended from schools and faced police interrogations. Palestinians make up about 20% of Israel's population. Many feel forced to self-censor out of fear of being jailed and further marginalized in society. Others still find ways to dissent, but carefully. Israel's National Security Ministry counters that, “Freedom of speech is not the freedom to incite.” Somalia says 24 people have died after 2 boats capsized in the Indian Ocean MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Somalia's government says 24 people died after two boats capsized off the Madagascar coast in the Indian Ocean. Somalia’s Foreign Minister Ahmed Moalim Fiqi said 46 people were rescued. Most of the passengers were young Somalis, and their intended destination remains unclear. Many young Somalis embark every year on dangerous journeys in search of better opportunities abroad. A delegation led by the Somali ambassador to Ethiopia is scheduled to travel to Madagascar on Monday to investigate the incident and coordinate efforts to help survivors. Forecasts warn of possible winter storms across US during Thanksgiving week WINDSOR, Calif. (AP) — Forecasters in the U.S. have warned of another round of winter weather that could complicate travel leading up to Thanksgiving. California is bracing for more snow and rain while still grappling with some flooding and small landslides from a previous storm. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for California's Sierra Nevada through Tuesday, with heavy snow expected at high elevations. Thousands remained without power in the Seattle area on Sunday after a “bomb cyclone” storm system hit the West Coast last week, killing two people. Republicans lash out at Democrats' claims that Trump intelligence pick Gabbard is 'compromised' FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Republican lawmakers are pushing back against criticism from some Democrats that President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead U.S. intelligence services is “compromised” by her comments supportive of Russia and a meeting with an ally of that country. The accusation came from Sen. Tammy Duckworth. The Illinois Democrat says she has concerns about the pro-Russian views expressed by Tulsi Gabbard, who was tapped for the post of director of national intelligence. Duckworth’s comments on Sunday drew immediate backlash from Republicans. The rising price of paying the national debt is a risk for Trump's promises on growth and inflation WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump has big plans for the economy. He also has big debt problem that'll be a hurdle to delivering on those plan. Trump has bold ambitions on tax cuts, tariffs and other programs. But high interest rates and the price of repaying the federal government’s existing debt could limit what he’s able to do. The federal debt stands at roughly $36 trillion, and the spike in inflation after the pandemic has pushed up the government’s borrowing costs such that debt service next year will easily exceed spending on national security. Moscow offers debt forgiveness to new recruits and AP sees wreckage of a new Russian missile KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law granting debt forgiveness to new army recruits who enlist to fight in Ukraine. The measure, whose final version appeared on a government website Saturday, underscores Russia’s needs for military personnel in the nearly 3-year-old war, even as it fired last week a new intermediate-range ballistic missile. Russia has ramped up military recruitment by offering increasing financial incentives to those willing to fight in Ukraine. Ukraine’s Security Service on Sunday showed The Associated Press wreckage of the new intermediate-range ballistic missile that struck a factory in the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Thursday. After Trump's win, Black women are rethinking their role as America's reliable political organizers ATLANTA (AP) — Donald Trump's victory has dismayed many politically engaged Black women, and they're reassessing their enthusiasm for politics and organizing. Black women often carry much of the work of getting out the vote, and they had vigorously supported the historic candidacy of Kamala Harris. AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 120,000 voters, found that 6 in 10 Black women said the future of democracy was the single most important factor for their vote this year, a higher share than for other demographic groups. But now, some Black women are renewing calls to emphasize rest, focus on mental health and become more selective about what fight they lend their organizing power to. Heavy rains in Bolivia send mud crashing into the capital, leaving 1 missing and destroying homes LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) — Authorities say that a landslide caused by heavy rains has flooded dozens of homes in La Paz, the capital of Bolivia. It swept away a young girl, spurred evacuations and left parts of the city without electricity. Torrential rain on Saturday caused a river to spill its banks Sunday, dislodging mud from a southwestern La Paz neighborhood where low-slung, shoddily built dwellings dot the hillside. The torrent of debris and soil surged down a narrow ravine early Sunday, wrecking some two dozen homes and flooding another 40. Hours after the rain subsided, rescuers were still searching for the missing 5-year-old girl. Emergency workers saved six residents suffering from hypothermia. 'Wicked' and 'Gladiator' make gravity-defying theater debuts NEW YORK (AP) — “Wicked” and “Gladiator II” have debuted in theaters with a combined $270 million in ticket sales. Their worldwide performance breathed fresh life into global box office results that have struggled lately. Together the films turned the moviegoing weekend into one of the busiest of the year. Jon M. Chu’s lavish big-budget musical “Wicked,” starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, debuted with $114 million domestically and $164.2 million globally. Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator II” is a sequel to his 2000 best picture-winning original and launched with $55.5 million in ticket sales. “Moana 2” is being released Wednesday, so it looks like Hollywood might be looking at historic sales over the Thanksgiving holiday.
It was revealed last month that Gisele Bundchen is pregnant with another child. The father of her third kid is her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente. Bundchen was married to Tom Brady for 13 years before getting a divorce. They share two children together, Benjamin and Vivian. According to Daily Mail, the seven-time Super Bowl champion was a bit hurt when he found out his ex-wife is pregnant. "Finding out Gisele was pregnant stung," an insider told Daily Mail . "Tom had to get out his feelings about it and he did it in his own time. There's not a lot of people who see the Tom behind closed doors, but those that do could see he was upset. It was a hard pill to swallow. It was never something he ever thought was going to happen. But she is still the mother of two of his children, so he wants her to be OK. He has to move on and with her pregnant, she has definitely moved on, so he can't be upset about it anymore." Even though Bundchen hasn't said much about her pregnancy, she did just post a rather cryptic message on social media. Bundchen shared two pictures on Instagram along with a message about how life doesn't' feature a "perfect roadmap." Maybe, just maybe, she's talking about her current situation. "There’s no guide to life, no perfect roadmap to follow. But remember everything you are, is a choice," Bundchen wrote . "To feel good, to be healthy, and to cultivate a positive mindset are daily choices that only you can commit to. Each day presents the opportunity to choose habits that nourish your body, uplift your spirit, and guide you toward the life you truly want to live." View the original article to see embedded media. According to reports, Bundchen is focused on providing a loving environment for her third child. "Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and they're looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family," a source told PEOPLE . Buda Mendes/Getty Images TMZ reported in October that Bundchen is either five or six months pregnant. We wish Bundchen all the best as she enters the next chapter of her career.

The 55-year-old Canadian, who guided Boston to an NHL record for wins and points in a season but never got past the second round of the playoffs, replaced Drew Bannister, who was fired after a 9-12-1 start by the Blues this season. An 8-9-3 start this season by the Bruins led to Montgomery's firing, but he signed a five-year contract with the Blues. "This was more an opportunity to get someone of Jim's caliber more than anything else," Blues president of hockey operations Doug Armstrong said. "We've had to deal with our situations off the ice with injuries and everyone deals with that, but this decision was based 100% on having someone of Jim's caliber becoming available when I didn't know that was going to happen." Montgomery is 180-84-33 as an NHL coach, having guided Dallas for two seasons and Boston for just over two campaigns, going 120-41-23 with the Bruins. In the 2022-23 season, the Bruins won an NHL record 65 games and compiled a record 135 points under Montgomery, who was named the NHL's Coach of the Year, but were upset by Florida in the first round of the playoffs. More from this section Boston also lost to the eventual 2024 Stanley Cup champions in last year's playoffs. Montgomery was dropped by the Bruins last Tuesday and replaced by Joe Sacco. "He certainly has a very positive demeanour, works well with the top players in the organizations that he's been with," Armstrong said. "He has a wealth of experience and he's at the prime of his coaching career." The Blues, who won the 2019 Stanley Cup, have missed the playoffs the past two seasons. Bannister went 39-31-6 as the Blues coach after replacing Craig Berube last December. Montgomery gets his first test with the Blues on Monday when they visit the New York Rangers. js/sev

1 2 3 4 5 6 Jaipur: Friday's deadly accident on Jaipur-Ajmer highway saw SMS Hospital swing into action to attend to the influx of patients who had suffered burn injuries. Health minister Gajendra Singh Khimsar reached SMS Hospital to inspect the arrangements for the treatment of those who were injured and burnt in the accident. Within minutes, the hospital made elaborate arrangements for injured people. A newly built modern ward was allocated exclusively for the injured. A control room was established as well for the information of the deceased and the injured patients. On Friday, the state govt also released police helpline numbers: 9166347551, 8764688431, 7300363636 for victims and their families to call for information. With many unidentified patients coming to hospital, the hospital also enlisted a dedicated team from the Information and Technology department to assist in identifying severely burnt victims and helping their relatives using Aadhaar numbers, thumb impressions and other relevant details. Khimsar said, "The incident is deeply distressing and painful. Prompt treatment and superior medical care are being provided to the injured. Despite these challenging circumstances, the department remains steadfast in supporting the affected families with complete sensitivity and dedication." SMS Medical College principal Dr Deepak Maheshwari said, "Twelve people have died, out of those, five died in SMS Hospital. Five were brought dead to SMS, one was brought dead to Jaipuria Hospital. We have opened one new ICU for burn patients and deployed staff. For attendants of the patients, we have made arrangements for food and also provided them place to stay in near the hospital." Dr RK Jain, head of the department (burn and plastic surgery) at SMS Medical College, said, "We received 15 patients who have more than 50% burn injuries." Medical education secretary Ambrish Kumar, Maheshwari and hospital superintendent Sushil Bhati also coordinated continuously. Naresh Goyal, additional director of research and planning medical education, managed the control room arrangements. Additionally, all patients were shifted to the newly prepared ICU ward, set up three days ago, to ensure they are not inconvenienced.The Free National Movement (FNM) has rejected the prime minister’s version of yesterday’s events and charged that House Speaker Patricia Deveaux’s life was not in danger when when FNM Deputy Leader Shanendon Cartwright grabbed the mace sitting in front of her and hurled it out of the House of Assembly’s window. “Prime minister and his army of spin masters and propogandists are trying to paint an ugly picture of yesterday's events, claiming that, among other lies, the opposition's actions were a planned and coordinated assault,” the FNM said in a statement. “He is taking absolute nonsense, and the tape tells the tale. [Prime Minister Philip] Davis must have forgotten that the Bahamian people have eyes and ears, which is why no one is buying their sob story. Yesterday, St. Barnabas Member of Parliament and FNM Deputy Leader Shanendon Cartwright seized and threw the ceremonial mace of the House of Assembly out of the rear right window. “Opposition members of Parliament then endured a series of overly aggressive actions by members of the Royal Bahamas Police Force to push, pull, drag and haul them outside the House of Assembly by any means necessary. We have the scars, ripped clothing and bruises to prove it. At no time was the Speaker of the House of Assembly's life in danger, as she dramatically and inexplicably claimed. At no time did any opposition member lay hands on a government member—it was the recklessly thrown arm of a police officer that landed the North Eleuthera Member of Parliament in hospital. We wish him a speedy recovery. “Witnesses, including every major news house in the country, published videos that chronicled the day's events as they unfolded. “Internationally, yesterday's demonstration was accurately referenced against the backdrop that contributed to it. As Reuters noted, the Opposition's actions come "after U.S. federal prosecutors charged several high-ranking Bahamian police officials with facilitating the flow of cocaine into the U.S. in exchange for bribes." The opposition has been consistently denied the opportunity to speak on this matter of national importance. The people are fed up, outraged and offended “The world now knows the Opposition will not sit idly by and allow the people's voice to be silenced.” Speaking in the House of Assembly yesterday following the uproar, Deveaux said she feared for her life and was “assaulted” and “almost hit” when Cartwright grabbed the mace and hurled it out of the window. Deputy Speaker Sylvanus Petty received “a blow to the head” during the incident, prompting him to go to the hospital and a police officer was hurt in the leg, she said. “This is a dark day in this political arena that we call politics,” said Deveaux. Last evening, in a national address, Prime Minister Davis said, “[The opposition’s] conduct in the House today cannot be justified. We hope that they will learn to be more serious about the business of the people.” He accused the opposition of putting on a show during a time when the country’s reputation is under fire.Jim Montgomery was hired as coach of the NHL's St. Louis Blues on Sunday, five days after being fired as coach of the Boston Bruins. The 55-year-old Canadian, who guided Boston to an NHL record for wins and points in a season but never got past the second round of the playoffs, replaced Drew Bannister, who was fired after a 9-12-1 start by the Blues this season. An 8-9-3 start this season by the Bruins led to Montgomery's firing, but he signed a five-year contract with the Blues. "This was more an opportunity to get someone of Jim's caliber more than anything else," Blues president of hockey operations Doug Armstrong said. "We've had to deal with our situations off the ice with injuries and everyone deals with that, but this decision was based 100% on having someone of Jim's caliber becoming available when I didn't know that was going to happen." Montgomery is 180-84-33 as an NHL coach, having guided Dallas for two seasons and Boston for just over two campaigns, going 120-41-23 with the Bruins. In the 2022-23 season, the Bruins won an NHL record 65 games and compiled a record 135 points under Montgomery, who was named the NHL's Coach of the Year, but were upset by Florida in the first round of the playoffs. Boston also lost to the eventual 2024 Stanley Cup champions in last year's playoffs. Montgomery was dropped by the Bruins last Tuesday and replaced by Joe Sacco. "He certainly has a very positive demeanour, works well with the top players in the organizations that he's been with," Armstrong said. "He has a wealth of experience and he's at the prime of his coaching career." The Blues, who won the 2019 Stanley Cup, have missed the playoffs the past two seasons. Bannister went 39-31-6 as the Blues coach after replacing Craig Berube last December. Montgomery gets his first test with the Blues on Monday when they visit the New York Rangers. js/sev

True freshman Luke Kromenhoek threw three touchdown passes and Caziah Holmes ran for two more as host Florida State routed Charleston Southern 41-7 on Saturday afternoon in Tallahassee, Fla. The Seminoles (2-9) convincingly snapped a six-game losing streak and ensured that the Buccaneers (1-11) would finish theirs on a 10-game skid. Florida State has not had much to celebrate during one of its worst seasons in program history. But on Saturday, the Seminoles overcame a rough start and put together one of their more complete efforts of the season. Florida State had not scored more than 21 points in a game prior to Saturday's contest and its 175 rushing yards more than doubled its average (80.5 per game) this season. No single runner had over 40 yards, but seven rushers combined for that output on 34 attempts. The Seminoles entered the game ranked 130th out of 133 FBS teams in rushing offense. Holmes, a senior, finished with three carries for 38 yards, including touchdown runs of 3 and 18 yards. Kromenhoek gave Florida State a sliver of hope for its quarterback future as he completed 13 of 20 passes for 209 yards and no interceptions. He threw TD passes for Amaree Williams, Ja'Khi Douglas and Hykeem Williams. The highlight was a 71-yard touchdown pass to Douglas on the first play from scrimmage of the second half to put the Seminoles ahead 24-0. Douglas finished with 82 yards receiving on three catches, and 10 different Florida State players caught passes for 240 total yards. The Seminoles went 6 of 10 on third downs after averaging only a 25 percent conversion rate all season. Their defense held Charleston Southern to 275 total yards (57 rushing) and forced two turnovers. Florida State was unable to hang on to the shutout, however, as Bucs quarterback Kaleb Jackson found Landon Sauers for a 7-yard touchdown pass with 57 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Jackson completed 22 of 32 passes for 218 yards, one touchdown and one interception. The Bucs defense recorded three sacks led by Davion Williams, who had eight tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and one sack. The Seminoles will conclude their season next Saturday at home against rival Florida. --Field Level Media
The Milwaukee Brewers are going to be an intriguing team to keep an eye on throughout the MLB offseason. While they were a contender and made the playoffs during the regular season, they were exposed quickly during the playoffs. Unfortunately, they still are a couple of pieces away from being a legitimate World Series contender. With that in mind, there has been a lot of speculation about moves the Brewers could make. Milwaukee could consider getting aggressive as they pursue a championship. Deesha Thosar of Fox Sports has suggested an intriguing trade that Milwaukee could consider. Milwaukee Brewers Urged to Pursue Big Trade with Los Angeles Angels In her suggestion, she urged the Brewers to pursue a trade with the Los Angeles Angels for infielder Luis Rengifo. “If the Brewers wind up moving Turang or Ortiz to short, they could look to trade for Angels infielder Luis Rengifo, who will be in the final year of arbitration in 2025. It’s a boon for Milwaukee that Rengifo plays both second and third, and he shouldn’t cost them too many prospects or flashy players since he would be a one-year stop-gap option.” Rengifo would be a one-year player if things don’t work. However, if they did work out, the Milwaukee Brewers could look to re-sign him and keeping him around for the future. During the 2024 MLB season with the Angels, Rengifo ended up playing in 78 games. He hit six home runs to go along with 30 RBI, while slashing .300/.347/.417. Those numbers would be a solid addition to the Brewers’ lineup. He’s also just 27 years old, which gives this move the potential to be something much bigger than just a one-year rental. All of that being said, it will be very interesting to see what Milwaukee chooses to do this offseason. If they truly want to win a championship, they’ll need to make a couple of high impact moves. Acquiring Rengifo may not be a “sexy” move, but it’s a trade that would certainly improve the overall talent of the roster and would give a bit more help to the Milwaukee Brewers’ lineup.
