Bale penalty salvages draw for Wales against USA

Bale penalty salvages draw for Wales against USA

Wales were listless and overrun in a first half dominated by a vibrant USA team, who led as Tim Weah finished smartly after a surging run and pass by Christian Pulisic. The half-time introduction of striker Kieffer Moore revitalised Wales, whose newfound energy and purpose turned a one-sided affair into a genuine contest as Ben Davies and Moore both came close to equalising. Then with nine minutes left, the hitherto anonymous Bale was clattered in the box by Walker Zimmerman before confidently whipping his penalty into the net to send the travelling Welsh supporters behind that goal into raptures. Wales finished the game strongly, buoyed to have secured a point on their long-awaited World Cup return when they had appeared to be heading for a defeat which would have left ...
Twitter charity partners condemn Musk’s ‘dangerous’ changes

Twitter charity partners condemn Musk’s ‘dangerous’ changes

Anti-Defamation League (ADL) says Elon Musk's surprise move to reinstate former President Donald Trump's account is "dangerous and inconsistent". It also says allowing Kayne West back on Twitter has "raised concerns". This comes as one of Twitter's major advertising partners expresses doubts about its future with Twitter. Twitter did not respond to requests for comment but on its advertising website, the company says it has "long-standing fruitful relationships with key civil rights groups and organizations, including NAACP, ADColor, and the Anti-Defamation League". According to ADL Mr Musk met the civil rights group on 1 November to assure them that no one previously banned would be reinstated until he had installed a transparent, clear proc...
One dead after vehicle crashes into Massachusetts Apple store

One dead after vehicle crashes into Massachusetts Apple store

The incident took place around 10:45 local time (15:45 GMT) in Hingham, about 13 miles (20 km) south of Boston. Images from the scene show a gaping hole in the store's glass front. Authorities are investigating the cause of the accident. The area in front of the store - part of a local shopping plaza - has been cordoned off by emergency personnel. "The dark colour SUV went through at a rate of speed undetermined through a glass window and struck multiple people," police chief Dave Jones told reporters on Monday. It is unclear how many people were in the store at the time, though officials noted it happened just days before Thanksgiving in the US and during a busy holiday shopping season. Bystanders helped treat some of...
Millions of lives under threat in Ukraine this winter – WHO

Millions of lives under threat in Ukraine this winter – WHO

Half of Ukraine's energy infrastructure is either damaged or destroyed, and 10 million are currently without power, said Dr Hans Henri P Kluge, WHO regional director for Europe. Temperatures are predicted to plummet as low as -20C (-4F) in some areas. The WHO has documented 703 attacks on health infrastructure since Russia's invasion began. Last week, Russia hit more energy installations and civilian buildings in one of its heaviest aerial bombardments of the war. This has been a recent Russian tactic following setbacks on the battlefield, and its impact is starting to be felt more acutely as winter sets in. "Put simply, this winter will be about survival," Dr Kluge told a news conference in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. ...
Europe’s research ministers to commit billions to ‘space race’

Europe’s research ministers to commit billions to ‘space race’

On their agenda are missions to the Moon and Mars, and, closer to home, satellites to monitor the weather and encrypt global communications. The proposed budget for the European Space Agency is a near-25% increase. Finding the cash will be a challenge, however, given the big rise in the cost of living across the continent. Governments may well be tempted to pull back on their space spending. "This is true, but let me say the package we have on the table is found by every member state of Esa to be very attractive," said agency director general, Dr Josef Aschbacher. "No-one is saying 'this is not what we should be doing', and every country is making huge efforts to find the money, despite the economic situation," he told BBC News. ...
