Aston Villa had a stoppage-time goal disallowed as they drew 0-0 with Juventus in the Champions League. Morgan Rogers looked to have given Unai Emery’s side another famous win when he slammed a loose ball home at the death, but referee Jesus Gil Manzano ruled Diego Carlos to have fouled Juve goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the goal was chalked off. It was a disappointment for Villa, who remain unbeaten at home in their debut Champions League campaign and are still in contention to qualify automatically for the last 16. A very controversial finish at Villa Park 😲 Morgan Rogers' late goal is ruled out for a foul on Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the match ends 0-0 ❌ 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/MyYL5Vdy3r — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) November 27, 2024 Emiliano Martinez had earlier displayed why he was named the best goalkeeper in the world as his wonder save kept his side level in the second half. The Argentina international paraded his two Yashin Trophies on the pitch before kick-off at Villa Park and then showed why he won back-to-back FIFA awards when he denied Francisco Conceicao. Before Rogers’ moment of drama in the fourth minute of added time, the closest Villa came to scoring was in the first half when Lucas Digne’s free-kick hit the crossbar. But a draw was a fair result which leaves Villa out of the top eight on goal difference and Juventus down in 19th. Before the game Emery called Juventus one of the “best teams in the world, historically and now”, but this was an Italian side down to the bare bones. Only 14 outfield players made the trip from Turin, with striker Dusan Vlahovic among those who stayed behind. The opening 30 minutes were forgettable before the game opened up. Ollie Watkins, still chasing his first Champions League goal, had Villa’s first presentable chance as he lashed an effort straight at Di Gregorio. Matty Cash then had a vicious effort from the resulting corner which was blocked by Federico Gatti and started a counter-attack which ended in Juventus striker Timothy Weah. Villa came closest to breaking the deadlock at the end of the first half when Digne’s 20-yard free-kick clipped the top of the crossbar and went over. Martinez then produced his brilliant save just after the hour. A corner made its way through to the far post where Conceicao was primed to head in at the far post, but Martinez sprawled himself across goal to scoop the ball away. How has he kept that one out?! 🤯 Emi Martinez with an INCREDIBLE save to keep it goalless at Villa Park ⛔️ 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/OkcWHB7YIk — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) November 27, 2024 Replays showed most of the ball went over the line, but the Argentinian got there with millimetres to spare. At the other end another fine goal-line block denied John McGinn as Manuel Locatelli got his foot in the way with Di Gregorio beaten. The game looked to be petering out until a last-gasp free-kick saw Rogers slam home, but whistle-happy official Gil Manzano halted the celebrations by ruling the goal out.

Lower interest rates amid the ongoing easing cycle of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) supported the growth of local currency (LCY) bond issuances in the third quarter, with corporate borrowers regaining their appetite for fresh debt. Figures from the latest Asia Bond Monitor report of Manila-based Asian Development Bank (ADB) showed offerings of peso-denominated debt securities had increased by 11 percent quarter-on-quarter to P2.9 trillion in the three months ending in September. READ: Treasury bureau raises P15 billion as planned from 5-year T-bonds By type of issuer, offerings from the government jumped by 34 percent while corporate bond issuances spiked more than threefold, with banking giants BDO Unibank and Bank of the Philippine Islands making the largest debt sale among firms in the third quarter. The multilateral lender attributed such growth to declining borrowing costs after the BSP had kicked off its rate-cutting cycle. Between Sept. 2 and Oct. 31, ADB monitoring showed that yields on LCY government bonds had fallen by 33 basis points (bp) on average across all tenors. The growth in issuances, in turn, supported the expansion of the domestic bond market. The ADB said total outstanding peso bonds had breached P13 trillion by the end of the third quarter, registering a 3.8-percent sequential increase. Broken down, government bonds grew by 3.6 percent amid a high volume of debt maturities that had to be paid. Total corporate debt stock, meanwhile, rose by 3.1 percent—recovering from the previous quarter’s 7.7-percent contraction—as companies were encouraged by the dovishness of the BSP. Unlike in the United States, where a slowing job market prompted the US Federal Reserve to deliver a jumbo 50-bp cut in September, the BSP had entered its easing era in August with the traditional quarter-point reduction to the policy rate. In October, the BSP cut the policy interest rate by 25 bp again to 6 percent, with Governor Eli Remolona Jr. dropping clear hints of additional—but gradual—easing moves. But Remolona last week floated the possibility of an easing pause at the Dec. 19 meeting of the Monetary Board, citing persistent price pressures. —Ian Nicolas P.

Lady Bucs overwhelm Presbyterian, 64-31On a day when the world woke up to a nightmare in progress, they were in the control room
The Prince of Wales will feature in a new documentary about the Earthshot Prize , an environmental initiative which he founded four years ago. William will appear in a special introduction to The Earthshot Report on BBC One , which hopes to offer a “dose of urgent optimism” by showcasing the environmental solutions around the world which have been inspired by the competition. The prince founded the Earthshot Prize four years ago to discover and scale up groundbreaking solutions to repair the planet, with a £50 million prize fund spanning 10 years. In a trailer on the Earthshot Prize’s social media account, the prince stands in a forest holding an umbrella. “Our planet needs our help and every year counts,” he says, adding: “So what have we achieved in 2024?” William, who this week will take part in the state visit of the Emir of Qatar , Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and his wife, Sheikha Jawaher bint Hamad bin Suhaim Al Thani, will appear in a special introduction to the documentary. The documentary will be hosted by Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham, a supporter of the initiative. “Join us in a special look back at the year, exploring the game-changing solutions on our journey to a sustainable future,” she says in a voiceover. At the Earthshot awards ceremony earlier this month, William said the prize was a “collaborative movement for change”. Prince William took the chance to pay tribute to Kate , who wasn’t in Cape Town for the glittering ceremony as she eases herself back into public duties following her cancer recovery. “She’s been...amazing...this whole year. I know she will be really keen to see tonight be a success,” he said. “I now invite you to join the movement for climate innovation that’s happening around the world,” William added. “Because that’s why we’re here. To champion the dreamers, the thinkers and the innovators from every walk of life, who share an ambition to build a better, more sustainable world. “We’ll do everything we can to support them and help speed their solutions to scale. Because when they succeed, we all succeed. When they thrive, we all thrive.” The documentary will feature interviews with Earthshot finalists including Notpla, Amazon Sacred Headwaters, Restor and Mukuru Clean Stoves. It will share the personal stories behind their ideas. Hannah Jones, chief executive of the Earthshot Prize, said: “At a time when there is so much pessimism about the environment, The Earthshot Report is the dose of urgent optimism we need. “We are proud to be able to amplify the inspiring stories of Earthshot innovators and showcase the growing global movement of climate creativity they are leading. “We are honoured to collaborate with the BBC and PBS to bring these compelling stories of Earthshot innovators and entrepreneurs to millions of people across the globe.” The Earthshot Report will be shown on BBC One and iPlayer at 5pm GMT on Sunday December 15 and on PBS at 8pm ET on Wednesday December 18.
Planned Parenthood is reporting a post-election surge of interest in Minnesota and neighboring states among women seeking long-acting birth control and men seeking vasectomies. Concerns about potential threats to access under President-elect Donald Trump’s administration has prompted some young adults to take action before he takes office in January, said Ruth Richardson, chief executive of Planned Parenthood North Central States. The St. Paul-based provider of reproductive health services has filled all appointments through January for men seeking a vasectomy. “People want to ensure they can get access to these things while they know that they can,” Richardson said. The response is based on uncertainty as much as facts. Trump was noncommittal during his campaign on reproductive health topics, hinting that he might let states continue to set their own abortion policies rather than pursue a federal ban or limit. He suggested at one point that he might pursue a federal policy limiting access to birth control, before pledging later on the same day on social media to “never advocate imposing restrictions on birth control.” Calls to Planned Parenthood for appointments regarding long-acting birth control such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) nonetheless jumped 150% in Minnesota and the rest of the region after the Nov. 5 election. Google similarly reported a surge Nov. 6 in online searches for “birth control” and “is birth control going to be banned,” particularly in historically conservative states such as Indiana, Mississippi and West Virginia. Richardson wasn’t surprised. Calls to Planned Parenthood for long-acting birth control reached peak levels in early 2017 after Trump began his first term as president. They gradually declined during the pandemic until a new surge in July 2022, when the Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision that had preserved abortion access nationwide. Reactions to the election results also weren’t surprising given the high amount of stress among voters. Seven in 10 Americans cited the election in one recent survey as a significant source of stress in their lives. “The landscape that we have right now is ever-shifting in terms of what people have access to” for birth control, said Richardson, noting that changes are just as likely to come from court rulings as they are from Congress or the president. No candidate discussed limiting access to vasectomies. About one in 10 U.S. men seek these common sterility procedures, most of them younger men who don’t want to be a parent or married middle-age men who don’t want more children. Michigan researchers documented a surge in vasectomy consults and procedures after the overturn of Roe v. Wade in 2022, more so among men who were single or had no children. Planned Parenthood isn’t alone in seeing patients taking action when they think political changes could threaten access. Allina Health midwife Kathrine Simon said her clinic in the past has received more requests from women for new or extended forms of long-acting birth control after significant court rulings or changes in federal or state leadership. Allina did not provide information for this report on appointments or requests after the most recent election. Get local news delivered to your inbox!NEW ORLEANS (AP) — New Orleans tight end Taysom Hill is likely to miss the rest of the season after injuring his knee in the Saints’ loss to the Los Angeles Rams. “It looks like an ACL tear,” interim coach Darren Rizzi said Monday. “He’ll probably get a second opinion, but it looks like it will be season-ending.” Hill, who is listed at tight end but plays a variety of roles, was carted off the field after taking a hard hit to his left knee while converting a fourth down on a direct snap in the to the Rams. The injury came one game after he’d posted a career-best 138 yards rushing and scored three touchdowns in a victory over Cleveland. He also has lined up at quarterback and running back, as well as playing special teams. “It means everybody else has to step up,” Rizzi said. “He fills so many roles, so there are going to be a lot of different guys that have to be a part of the solution there. It’s hard to sit here and tell you we are going to replace Taysom. You can’t. He’s a phenomenal person, player, leader and captain. It’s a big loss.” Hill is the third key offensive player the Saints have lost. He joins leading wide receivers Chris Olave, who suffered a concussion in Week 9 and has not played since, and Rashid Shaheed, who is out for the year after tearing a meniscus in Week 7. Rizzi said guard Nick Saldiveri also might miss the remaining five games after injuring his left knee in the fourth quarter one series before Hill. Without Hill, though, the Saints’ quest to get back in the NFC South race became even tougher. At 4-8, they trail Atlanta and Tampa Bay by two games. Hill has 99 catches, 437 carries, 302 passes, 44 touchdowns, 19 tackles and one blocked kick in seven years with the Saints. “I don’t know if I can compare Taysom to anybody else that I’ve ever coached,” Rizzi said. “There’s not a guy that comes to mind that has been able to do all the different things he’s been able to do just in one game, forget about his career.” What’s working Alvin Kamara had his third 100-yard rushing game of the year and is 106 yards away from the first 1,000-yard season of his eight-year career. He needs only 39 more yards to set a career high. His 206 carries are the third most in his career. What needs help Los Angeles averaged 5.4 yards per carry, finishing with 156 yards. Rams running back Kyren Williams said they knew at halftime they would win if they stuck to the ground game, and he carried seven times on the opening series of the third quarter as they took the lead. The Saints have allowed 5.1 yards per carry for the season — tied for last with the New York Giants. Stock up Signed in late October after Shaheed’s season-ending surgery, Marquez Valdes-Scantling has become Derek Carr’s go-to receiver for big plays. His 28-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter was the Saints’ longest gain of the day and his fourth score in the past three games. Stock down Tight end Foster Moreau, a reliable performer all year, could not handle Rams outside linebacker Jared Verse on the Saints’ final offensive snap, allowing him to hit Carr as he released a pass on fourth-and-3 from the Los Angeles 9 with New Orleans trailing by 7. Injuries Although the news was bad for Hill and Saldiveri, Rizzi said he expected starting center Erik McCoy to play Sunday against the Giants. McCoy was scratched against the Rams after aggravating a groin injury two weeks earlier versus Cleveland in his first game back since missing seven in a row. Rizzi said oft-injured running back Kendre Miller, who has played in two games this year, might return from a hamstring injury Sunday. Key number 2 — The number of sacks for the Saints, not enough to keep Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford from finding his rhythm in the second half. In the Rams’ last five losses, he has been sacked 20 times. In their last five wins, he has been sacked three times. Next steps With their NFC South hopes on life support, the Saints travel to face the reeling Giants, who have lost seven in a row. ___ AP NFL:
