Police have said all cordons have been removed and roads reopened in Chester after a major security alert. The incident follows a security alert at the nearby Chester train station that saw rail services stopped for around two hours with a full evacuation and wide cordon. Rail services resumed around 7pm, however cordons remained in place at the bus station. Just before 10PM police issued the first statement on the incident, in full here: “At 5.09pm today (Friday 22 November) police received a report of suspicious activity on two busses in Chester City Centre. One near the train station and one near the bus interchange. “As a precaution a cordon was put in place and a number of roads were closed while we investigated the report. EOD attended with other emergency services to assist. “All was in order, the cordon was released and roads reopened. We understand that this caused some disruption and concern but we are now happy there is nothing untoward. Thank you for your patience while we dealt with this incident.” Police have not confirmed local reports of a “controlled explosion” at Chester bus station around 9:30PM this evening and related warnings to nearby residents. The statement above uses the ‘EOD’ jargon – which stands for Explosive Ordnance Disposal. Top pic: @ShitChester on the scene in Chester – check out thechesterblog.com here . Original updates below...

City are now six games without a victory but appeared to be cruising towards three points before being stunned by the Eredivisie side, who hit them with goals from Anis Hadj Moussa, Santiago Gimenez and David Hancko to fight back from 3-0 down. Two goals from Erling Haaland, one of them a penalty, and one from Ilkay Gundogan had the 2023 European champions three up after 53 minutes as they sought the win that would help to get their ailing season back on track.

Speaking to Amazon Prime, he was asked whether he believed the the team’s problem is a mental one. “Maybe it is,” he said. “It is difficult to say. Obviously we have not been in this situation many times but this is where we have to show our character. “When everything seems to go against us and everyone is writing us off, we have to stay strong mentally, believe in ourselves and stick together. 🔢 pic.twitter.com/diyhxQXsdF — Feyenoord Rotterdam (@Feyenoord) November 26, 2024 “Every season there is a period when they write us off. We have to make sure we stay strong as a team and staff and make sure we get out of it.” The draw leaves City with work to do if they are to secure one of the eight automatic spots in the last 16 of this season’s Champions League. They are currently 15th in the table, two points outside of the top eight, and will need positive results in their next two games against Juventus and Paris St Germain to keep their hopes alive. They then face Club Brugge in their final league match on January 29. The result at least ended a run of five straight defeats in all competitions ahead of Sunday’s Premier League showdown with leaders Liverpool at Anfield. “When you are three goals up it feels like a defeat when you give up three goals at home,” said Ake. “It is tough now, a tough night, but the only thing we can do is look forward to the next one. Liverpool is a big game and it is another challenge to overcome. “(We were) 3-0 up and we played quite well and were under control, but then it all changed. “You just have to stay strong mentally. At 3-1 they then push on but I think we need to go for it a bit earlier so we could keep the pressure on them, but we stayed playing at the back and maybe invited more pressure on us. “Then when you concede the second one there is even more pressure and then we have to stay stronger mentally.”Published 5:00 pm Friday, December 27, 2024 By Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell’s stirring locker room tribute to his team last week at Seattle was respectfully interrupted by seven-year veteran right tackle Brian O’Neill, who flipped the script on the game ball awards by tossing one to the boss in honor of his second 13-win season in three years. The Vikings have obliterated even the most optimistic of external predictions for this transitional season, taking a sparkling 13-2 record into their matchup against the Green Bay Packers that has made O’Connell the current favorite for the NFL Coach of the Year award. “It’s a credit to who he is as a person, as a coach and as a leader,” tight end T.J. Hockenson said. “We’re very fortunate to be able to play under him.” The Vikings can not only win the NFC North for a second time in three seasons, but get the No. 1 seed with a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the NFC tournament if they beat both the Packers at home on Sunday and the Detroit Lions on the road next week. Don’t expect the Vikings to ponder that possibility, though, as tantalizing as it would be. “It can be a very tired cliché to talk about going 1-0 until you’ve systematically built your entire operation daily of just trying to do that every single day,” O’Connell said after Minnesota’s eighth consecutive victory. “These guys, it’s not a cliché at that point. It becomes part of your football foundation and the makeup of your locker room, of your leadership, your coaching staff.” The Packers could be forgiven for being less than impressed by the impact O’Connell has made, for a reason beyond simply him coaching their biggest rival. Green Bay enjoyed even better out-of-the-gate success under coach Matt LaFleur, who was hired in 2019 and won 13 regular-season games in each of his first three years. Though they’re in third place at 11-4, two games behind the Lions and the Vikings, the Packers too have secured a place in the playoffs even if they can’t win their loaded division. They’ll likely be the visiting team as long as they’re alive this postseason. “I think that just all of us going against one another, it’s forced you to be at your best every week,” LaFleur said. “You can’t afford a slip-up, just to keep up with everybody.” The road team has won each of the past three matchups in this series. The Packers are 0-4 against the teams with the top three records in the NFC: Detroit, Minnesota and Philadelphia. “We’ve got to be able to go win these games against the really good teams in the league and set ourselves up for the situation we’ll be in for the playoffs,” quarterback Jordan Love said. The running men Aaron Jones rushed for 93 yards on 22 carries for Minnesota in a 31-29 victory at Green Bay on Sept. 29. Released by the Packers for salary cap relief in favor of their premier free agency addition, the three-plus-years-younger Josh Jacobs, Jones just hit the 1,000-yard mark last week and can’t hide from the significance of facing his former team. “They respect you because they were on your team or they’ve seen the work that you put in, but you want to gain their respect in another way from playing against them, like, ‘Man, this dude is really as good as I thought he was,’” Jones said. Jacobs, for his part, is fourth in the NFL entering Week 17 with 1,216 rushing yards for the most by a Packers player in a season since Ryan Grant (1,253) in 2009. Minimizing their mistakes The earlier matchup this season featured seven combined turnovers, four by the Packers and three by the Vikings. Both of these teams are among the NFL’s best in the turnover department, with Green Bay at a plus-12 margin and Minnesota at a plus-10. The Packers have allowed a total of three sacks and have committed just two turnovers over their past five games. Picking up the Pace The Vikings are eagerly anticipating the return of second-year linebacker Ivan Pace, the sparkplug who has missed four games on injured reserve with a hamstring strain. They’ll be cautious with him and the tricky nature of that injury, but getting Pace back in the middle of the action with fellow linebacker Blake Cashman would be a big boost to the play-calling options for defensive coordinator Brian Flores. “He flies around. When he blitzes, he’s as impactful as anybody, and when you can really get him and Cash out there at the same time, they both can really play to their strengths,” O’Connell said. “They’re both really good blitzers. Cash is phenomenal in coverage and reading the quarterback, and when you can kind of pair those guys together, run and pass, that’s when we’re at our best.” Kicking correction Brayden Narveson missed both of his field-goal attempts for Green Bay, from 37 and 49 yards, in the two-point decision at Lambeau Field in Week 4. The Packers released Narveson a couple of weeks later in favor of 11-year veteran Brandon McManus, who has gone 16 of 17 on field-goal tries including game-winners as time expired against Houston and Jacksonville.

Daniel Ricciardo receives ‘whatever it takes’ offer to block F1 return route – reportA new electric ferry allows commuters in one of Europe 's prettiest capitals to zoom through its waterways using special wings. Nova, a hydrofoil ferry powered by electric motors, began operating in Stockholm late last month, offering an energy efficient new way to travel into the Swedish city, which is built on more than a dozen islands. The ferry, built by boat manufacturer Candela, skims as much as a metre above the water. In October, it took passengers on the nine-mile journey from Ekero, a suburb in Stockholm county, to the capital's city hall in just half an hour as it opened to the public for the first time, AP reported. The morning commute via an old-style diesel-powered ferry line takes 15 minutes longer without stops. It's taking to the waves in a nine-month pilot which Gustav Hemming, the city councilor in charge of climate and infrastructure, says it intended to “make more people park their cars and buy a (public transportation) card instead.” Hemming said the city introduced the service “to show the way in the green transition at sea". Candela's chief executive and co-founder Gustav Hasselskog told Zag Daily that the ferries "not only speed up the commute in Stockholm, and will do so elsewhere, but they also cut emissions drastically". “Stockholm’s public transport is largely emission-free except for the city’s vessels which use the bulk of fossil fuels used by the public transport system. They are also very costly to run,” he added. The city's 70-odd public transport vessels reporedly consume more fossil fuels than all of its trains and buses combined. Nova was the first of the firm's new P-12 model to enter service, Hasselskog said. Using computer-controlled hydrofoil wings, the vessel lifts its hull above water, which is said to cut energy consumption by 80% compared to conventional vessels. The boats, which are designed to carry 25 passengers, are operated by the city's public transport provider SL. Part of the route is subject to speed limits, but on open water the hydrofoil is free to reach impressive speeds. Nova cruises at around 25 knots (29 mph) but is capable of reaching 30 knots (35 mph) putting it some way beyond what other electric passenger ferries are capable of. Another thing going for the vessel, which can operate in waves of up to two metres, is that it's exempt from the 12-knot speed limit in Stockholm due to the fact that it leaves no wake. The restriction, with other boats are subject to, prevent waves swamping other vessels or causing erosion the shoreline, as per the news agency. Candela, which hopes waterborne transport will be also championed in other major cities like New York and Venice, says the technology cuts the energy per passenger-kilometer by 95% compared with the diesel ferries operating in the archipelago. The year 2022 saw some 6.2 million public transport boat journeys in the Stockholm region, and though these types of journey remain a small part of the public transit system as a whole, it's the fastest-growing mode of public transport following the pandemic .By Lisandra Paraguassu BRASILIA (Reuters) -Brazil has stopped issuing temporary work visas for BYD, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Friday, in the wake of accusations that some workers at a site owned by the Chinese electric vehicle producer had been victims of human trafficking. The announcement came days after labor authorities said they found 163 Chinese workers who had been brought to Brazil irregularly in "slavery-like" conditions at the BYD factory construction site in the northeastern state of Bahia. The workers were employed by contractor Jinjiang Group, which has denied any wrongdoing. Later, the authorities also said the workers were victims of human trafficking. According to the foreign ministry, the workers entered Brazil on temporary work visas. The factory has become a symbol of China's growing influence in the South American nation and an example of a closer relationship between both countries. BYD has invested $620 million to set up the Bahia factory complex alone. Brazil is the biggest overseas market for BYD, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the ministry's decision. The Chinese EV maker has said it plans to start production in Brazil early next year with an initial annual output of 150,000 cars. Brazil's Ministry of Justice said in a separate statement on Friday that if irregularities found by prosecutors in the BYD factory are confirmed, it would revoke the residence permits it had issued to the Chinese workers. The Ministry of Justice had already sent a request to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to suspend BYD temporary visa issuance on Dec. 20, three days before the labor authorities' findings were made public, according to a source with knowledge of the communication. The order was then forwarded to Brazil's embassy in Beijing, the source added. In a social media post on Thursday, which was reposted by a BYD spokesperson, Jinjiang Group rejected the Brazilian authorities' accusations about the work conditions at the Bahia site. The contractor said the portrayal of the workers as "enslaved" was inaccurate and that there had been translation misunderstandings. BYD and Jinjiang Group have agreed to assist and house the 163 workers in hotels until a deal to end their contracts is reached, the Brazilian Labor Prosecutor's Office said in a statement on Thursday, after meeting representatives from both firms. Nearly one in five cars BYD sold outside of China in the first 11 months of 2024 was in Brazil.
