Stags had defended comfortably all night and Clough said: “Everyone is devastated in there. It's not just the defeat, it is the manner of it. It is just cruel.

It doesn't half get to you. “I don't think our supporters could believe it either when the ball went in.

Apple’s betting that its upcoming in-house 5G modem could help it beat Qualcomm’s performance eventually, according to . Apple has worked on developing its own modem for years, but the initiative reportedly experienced despite in 2019. The first Apple modem is rumored to come to the iPhone SE before appearing in and entry-level iPads. Down the line, Apple is reportedly planning to roll out a second-generation modem with mmWave in 2026, putting it in the iPhone 18 line and higher-end iPads. In 2027, reports that Apple “hopes to top Qualcomm” with its “Prometheus” modem, which could support AI features and “next-generation satellite networks.” However, its first chip may fall short of Qualcomm’s in terms of the absolute highest possible speed for a couple of reasons: lacking support for the mmWave technology available in some cities from carriers like Verizon and supporting four-carrier aggregation instead of six. Those features boost the maximum bandwidth available to multiple gigabits per second, but speeds are typically much slower in the real world, and . The new modem will, however, support dual SIM standby, allowing people to have two active SIM cards at the same time.The NBA on Saturday suspended three players for their roles in an on-court clash during Friday's game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Phoenix Suns.

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.

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.

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. Pakistani police arrest thousands of Imran Khan supporters ahead of rally in the capital ISLAMABAD (AP) — A Pakistani security officer says police have arrested thousands of Imran Khan supporters ahead of a rally in Islamabad to demand the ex-premier’s release from prison. Khan has been behind bars for more than a year. But he remains popular and his party says the cases against him are politically motivated.

Rents Plummet Nationwide! Surging Housing Supply Sparks Relief for Struggling RentersSean “Diddy” Combs’ twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila Combs, put on a united front over the weekend, attending their high school senior night amidst ongoing legal troubles surrounding their father. The 17-year-olds shared a snapshot on Instagram, beaming in blue-and-white cheerleading uniforms paired with “senior” sashes and tiaras, marking a milestone moment in their young lives. The photo, captioned simply “Senior Night,” showed the twins holding pink pom-poms as they posed on the sidelines of a football game. Their celebratory post was a bright spot in what has otherwise been a difficult few months for the Combs family. Just days earlier, Jessie and D’Lila appeared in a Manhattan courtroom for their father’s third bail hearing . Sean, 55, who remains in custody at a Brooklyn detention center, blew kisses to his daughters and other family members present in the gallery. A judge is expected to decide on his bail within the coming week. The twins have carried on with their senior year activities, determined to find normalcy amid the challenges. Last month, they attended their homecoming, dressed in matching orange off-the-shoulder gowns and bronze heels. Their poised appearances have garnered admiration from fans, who have praised their strength. The sisters also took time earlier this month to honor the memory of their late mother, Kim Porter, who died unexpectedly in 2018. In a heartfelt Instagram tribute marking six years since her passing, they wrote, “We think about you every single second of the day. We love and miss you so much words can’t even explain.” Kim, who shared four children with Sean, was a central figure in their lives, and her absence is deeply felt. Sean, a father of seven, has always been vocal about his pride in his children. Along with Jessie and D’Lila, he shares Quincy, 33, Justin, 30, Christian, 26, Chance, 18, and Love, 2. Despite the serious allegations he faces, his children have publicly stood by him. In October, Sean’s six eldest children attended a court hearing where a May 2025 trial date was set. Following the proceedings, they released a statement defending their father, calling the allegations against him “absurd.” “Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media,” they wrote. “We stand united, supporting you every step of the way. We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family.” Sean’s children have remained a constant source of support during his legal battle, sharing moments of connection with him even from afar. On his birthday, Nov. 4, they called to celebrate with him, a touching exchange that highlighted their close bond. “I just want to say that I’m proud of y’all, especially the girls. I mean, all y’all, just for being strong,” Sean told his kids during the call. The music mogul, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him, has maintained his innocence as his legal team prepares for the upcoming trial.Netanyahu's office says his security Cabinet has approved ceasefire deal with Hezbollah
