A chef whose van was stolen with 2,500 pies inside is urging the thieves to donate the loot
Double Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel has been taken to hospital following a crash during training in Belgium. Belgian media reports that Evenepoel was unable to avoid the door of a post office vehicle when it was swung open on Tuesday. The 24-year-old never lost consciousness but the impact was so heavy it broke the frame of his bicycle. Photographs online show Evenepoel sitting beside an ambulance, wrapped in a blanket and holding his arm. Evenepoel became the first cyclist to sweep the road race and time trial at an Olympic Games when he triumphed in both in Paris in August.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca believes the club has the platform to “dominate” English soccer in the coming years. Maresca has repeated his assertion that Chelsea shouldn’t be deemed a contender in the Premier League title race even though his team is third in the standings and tied on points with second-placed Arsenal. Yet the Italian coach is more bullish about Chelsea’s long-term prospects. Maresca says “I still think what I said to the owners and the sporting director the first time I met them.” He says “because of the age and because of how good the squad is, for me Chelsea in the next five to 10 years will be one of the teams — or the team — to dominate English football.”

Fighting between the Congolese army and the M23 rebel group has resumed in eastern Congo ahead of potential mediation talks. The army said in a statement it inflicted heavy losses on the rebels in North Kivu province while a rebel spokesperson said the group was also attacked by the army Tuesday. Congo and the United Nations accuse Rwanda of backing M23. Rwanda denies the claim, but in February admitted that it has troops and missile systems in eastern Congo. A report in Angola says Congo’s President Felix Tshisekedi and Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame are set to meet there on Dec. 15.

FOSTER CITY, Calif & MUNICH–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Dec 3, 2024–
Greece’s prime minister is in London on for his first top-level U.K. meeting since a spat last year over the contested Parthenon Marbles. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer welcomed Kyriakos Mitsotakis to 10 Downing St. Tuesday for talks focused on migration, the Middle East and the war in Ukraine. Starmer’s office said the fate of the marbles was not on the British leader’s agenda. The marbles are part of a 2,500-year-old frieze that was taken from Athens in the early 19th century. They are on display in the British Museum, but Athens wants them returned. The British Museum is banned by law from giving them back, but extensive talks have been held on a long-term loan.
SAVANNAH, Ga.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Dec 3, 2024–
Israel says it carried out airstrikes on targets in Lebanon in Monday as Hezbollah said it fired on an Israeli military position as both sides accused each other of breaking last week’s ceasefire. At least 11 people were killed in Lebanon after Israel unleashed its largest wave of airstrikes across Lebanon since agreeing to a ceasefire with Hezbollah last week. Hezbollah said it fired projectiles into Israel, apparently the first time that it took aim at Israeli forces after the 60-day ceasefire went into effect last Wednesday.
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has sidestepped questions about Ukraine’s possible membership in the military alliance. He says the priority must be to strengthen the country’s hand in any future peace talks with Russia by sending it more weapons. Rutte’s remarks came ahead of a meeting of NATO foreign ministers on Tuesday where Ukraine is top of the agenda. The comments came days after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that extending membership to territory now under Kyiv’s control could end “the hot stage of the war” in Ukraine. Russian forces are pressing their advantage. Rutte says that bolstering military support must be the focus.
In August 1994, “My So-Called Life” debuted on ABC and presented American viewers with a radically different version of adolescence than had ever been seen on television. Set in suburban Pittsburgh, the coming-of-age drama starred Claire Danes as Angela Chase, an angsty 15-year-old sophomore…
Hallmark Channel is leaning into its Kansas City roots — and the world-famous romance between music star Taylor Swift and football player Travis Kelce — to score during its lucrative Christmas TV movie season.
The captains of two English Premier League teams are in the spotlight for their choices last weekend when the competition celebrated LGBTQ+ inclusion in its campaign to promote equality and diversity. Rainbow-colored captain’s armbands were issued to the 20 clubs in the league ahead of matches last weekend and the upcoming midweek round. Ipswich’s Sam Morsy was the only captain in action who didn’t wear the rainbow armband. Ipswich says Morsy, a practising Muslim, made the decision “due to his religious beliefs.” Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi wore a rainbow armband bearing the words “I love Jesus” on it. He could face punishment if it is judged to be a religious slogan.
It was on a spontaneous trip to the movie theater that James Young took a chance on “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.” Same with 2004’s “Garden State.” And the quirky “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.”
Make more 3-pointers than your opponent in this NBA era, and you’re likely to win. Make a lot more 3s than your opponent, and you’re almost certain to win. The Boston Celtics are clearly banking on that thinking as they seek back-to-back titles. All the 3-point numbers in the NBA are on the rise yet again, with the league on yet another record pace for both 3s made and 3s attempted. This can’t come as a surprise, given there’s been a steady rise in those numbers across the league for more than a decade.
Following is a partial schedule of coming movies on DVD. Release dates are subject to change:
The AP Top 25 national schedule features No. 2 Auburn’s visit to No. 9 Duke and No. 10 Alabama’s visit to No. 20 North Carolina in a doubleheader played on the same night and a short drive apart. Those games will offer tests for teams that have made cross-country trips in the past two weeks for tournaments or made-for-TV matchups. The schedule also includes No. 5 Marquette and No. 6 Iowa State meeting on a Wednesday slate full of big games. There’s also No. 4 Kentucky’s trip to Seattle to face seventh-ranked Gonzaga in its home state.
A Zimbabwean High Court judge has ruled that provisions of a law that deny abortion services to women raped by their husbands and girls under the age of 18 are unconstitutional. The ruling is significant, given Zimbabwe’s restrictive abortion laws. In his ruling, Judge Maxwell Takuva ruled that because marital rape and sex with an underage girl are both unlawful, victims should be allowed to legally abort. Activists say restrictive abortion laws have been forcing women and girls into illegal and unsafe backstreet abortions that in many cases turn fatal. Almost one of every four girls in Zimbabwe falls pregnant between the ages of 10 and 19, according to figures by the government and the United Nations.
Dawn Staley has challenged South Carolina with a extremely tough early season schedule. The No. 3 Gamecocks have already faced four opponents who have made appearances in the AP Top 25 and have two more this week with No. 8 Duke and No. 9 TCU on the schedule. Coach Staley saw her team respond to a loss for the first time in over a year when the Gamecocks blew out then-No. 15 Iowa State by 40 after South Carolina was beaten at UCLA. Their next two matchups will further challenge the Gamecocks. The game against the Blue Devils on Thursday is part of the ACC-SEC challenge. It’s one of many great games in the battle between the conferences. No. 4 Texas visits 10th-ranked Notre Dame; No. 22 Louisville hosts 11th-ranked Oklahoma and No. 5 LSU hosts Stanford.
Opposition activists say Syrian insurgents have captured four new towns, bringing them closer to the central city of Hama. Meanwhile, government forces retook some territory they lost last week. The latest push is part of a wide offensive by forces opposed to Syrian President Bashar Assad that over the past days has captured large parts of the northern city of Aleppo, Syria’s largest, as well as towns and villages in southern parts of the northwestern Idlib province. The long war between Assad and his foreign backers and the array of armed opposition forces seeking his overthrow has killed an estimated half-million people over the past 13 years.
A court in southeastern Bangladesh has rescheduled by a month the bail hearing for a jailed prominent Hindu leader who in recent months led large rallies in the Muslim-majority country demanding better security for minority groups. This comes as tensions spiked following reports of the desecration of the Indian flag across Banglades. Krishna Das Prabhu was arrested in Bangladesh’s capital, Dhaka, last week on sedition charges for leading huge rallies, demanding protection against attacks that Hindu groups say amount to thousands. A court ordered his detention pending bail. Prosecutor Mofizul Haque Bhuiyan said the Judge on Tuesday ordered the next hearing be held on Jan. 2.
ATLANTA — On the evening of Nov. 9, in a crowded postgame news conference underneath the Vaught-Hemingway Stadium stands, a rain-soaked Kirby Smart framed the season optimistically after his team had just gotten hammered by Ole Miss.
DALLAS — Back in October, after he was run over by the Southeastern Conference welcome wagon driven by Kirby Smart during his turn with the reins, Steve Sarkisian might have still been a little woozy. Only way to explain it. Georgia had just stuffed Texas’ running game like it was a Butterba…
PITTSBURGH — Russell Wilson has brought more than the veteran leadership that has been missing from the Steelers quarterback position. He has re-introduced another missing element: the touchdown pass.
LOS ANGELES — College football has undergone monumental changes in recent years, from conference realignments, to annual transfer-portal roster reshufflings, to lucrative deals for use of an athlete’s name, image and likeness.
DALLAS — Several of us in the SMU press box listened to Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire’s rant on our laptops and got a good chuckle. I listened again when I got home Saturday night and realized the man was 90 percent correct in describing the modern mess of college football.
CHICAGO — The Chicago Bears have had 18 head coaches in the franchise’s 100-plus-year history. Some of the previous 17 were significantly more successful than others, but either way, the Bears had not ever fired a coach mid-season — until Matt Eberflus.
BALTIMORE — When you watch him from the distance and comfort of the press box, Lamar Jackson seems less like a quarterback and more like the quickest, flashiest point guard on the playground. At all times, he knows what he is doing and knows that he is capable of doing it. He doesn’t throw a…
China has announced it is banning exports to the United States of gallium, germanium, antimony and other key high-tech materials with potential military applications. The Chinese Commerce Ministry announced the move after the Washington expanded its list of Chinese companies subject to export controls on computer chip-making equipment, software and high-bandwidth memory chips. Such chips are needed for advanced applications. Beijing earlier had required exporters to apply for licenses to send the strategically important materials such as gallium to the United States.
– Honored guests flipped the switch on over 180,000 holiday lights on L. Ron Hubbard Way as a festive start to the season –
China bans exports to the US of gallium and other key materials after the US curbs computer chip-related exports.
The remaining five Australians from the Bali Nine group who are serving life sentences for drug smuggling in Indonesia could be repatriated home this month as Indonesia and Australia put finishing touches on a draft proposal for their transfer. The Indonesian government is awaiting Australia’s response to key points related to the transfer arrangements. They include provisions requiring Australia to acknowledge Indonesia’s sovereignty, respect the rulings of Indonesian courts and ensure that the five maintain their prisoner status after returning home. Two convicted ringleaders of the Bali Nine were executed by a firing squad in 2015.
UNDATED (AP) — The next set of College Football Playoff rankings will be released Tuesday night under heavy scrutiny before the final bracket is set on Sunday. It will be one last chance to see just how much the selection committee loves the Southeastern Conference. The best gauge will be wh…
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas defensive tackle Alfred Collins said after the Longhorns dominated Texas A&M that Texas has the best defense in the country. It’s hard to argue with the evidence the No. 2 Longhorns have produced week after week in earning a spot in the Southeastern Conference …
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California quarterback Miller Moss is entering the transfer portal after losing the Trojans’ starting job last month. Moss started the Trojans’ bowl victory last season and their first nine games this season before coach Lincoln Riley replaced him with Jayden Maia…
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Andrej Jakimovski scored 17, Trevor Baskin had a double-double and Colorado pulled away in the second half to beat Pacific 75-66. Jakimovski made 6 of 13 shots including four from 3-point range for the Buffaloes (6-2), who outscored the Tigers (5-5) by 18 after halftime…
A British chef is urging thieves who stole a van with 2,500 savory pies inside to “do the right thing” and donate the edible loot to the needy. Tommy Banks said the van was stolen with 25,000 pounds’ ($32,000) worth of food inside. The cargo includes steak and ale, turkey and butternut squash pies bound for a Christmas market in the city of York in northern England. Banks implored the thieves to leave the food at a community center so it would not go to waste. He said the food could “feed a few thousand people” at Christmas. Banks owns two Michelin-starred restaurants and a pub in the northern English county of Yorkshire.
