Cameras intended to catch motorists speeding, breaking red lights and driving in bus lanes 'could be deployed from this year'. Cameras intended to catch motorists speeding, breaking red lights and driving in bus lanes could be deployed from this year, a Dublin-based TD has said. Dublin Bay North Fine Gael TD Naoise Ó Muirí said the national strategy on the issue is due to be published in the coming months. The National Transport Authority previously indicated a planned limited roll-out of such cameras would not take place this year. This was to allow a National Safety Camera Strategy to be published first, so a more substantial and co-ordinated programme could then be implemented.

The NBA schedule is already being impacted by the massive snowstorm slowly making its way across the country. Both teams and the officiating crew had already arrived in Memphis for Sunday's Nuggets-Grizzlies game. The NBA postponed Saturday's Minnesota Timberwolves-Golden State Warriors game, not due to weather, but rather, in response to the killing of protestor Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. The massive winter storm dumped sleet, freezing rain and snow across much of the US on Sunday, bringing subzero temperatures and paralyzing air and road traffic. 'It is a unique storm in the sense that it is so widespread,' weather service meteorologist Allison Santorelli said in a phone interview.

Scottish Premiership: Hearts 2 Celtic 2Claudio Braga scored a late equaliser as Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts drew 2-2 at home to 10-man Celtic to maintain their six-point advantage over the champions. In a match the Hoops could not afford to lose, they led twice through goals from Benjamin Nygren and Yang Hyun-jun. But they were pegged back by a Stuart Findlay header and then Braga’s strike, which came after Celtic defender Auston Trusty was sent off in the 77th minute. Gordon, 43, incidentally played for Hearts the previous time O’Neill took charge of the Hoops at Tynecastle almost 21 years ago. Hearts made the extra man count in the 87th minute when Braga thumped home from eight yards after substitute Oisin McEntee had headed Harry Milne’s free-kick down to him.

Unai Emery will only consider Aston Villa as Premier League title contenders if they are still in the mix with three games to go. Last week we lost and last week, no-one asked me about contenders for the title.

Michael Carrick masterminded another bombshell result as caretaker Manchester United manager to keep the Premier League race very much in the balance. His first match in charge resulted in a defeat over Manchester City last week, and this time he nearly went one better at the home of the title leaders. Their first home defeat of the season will not necessarily prove fatal to their title hopes, but it will take a lot to come back from mentally. Timber appeared to beat Martinez to the loose ball , but the ball ultimately span into the goal off the United defender’s boot. A big half-time for both managers too, albeit with more on the line for Arteta and his title hopes.

How much should you pay for a bottle of wine? Rarely.”Going back to the source, how much does it actually cost to produce a bottle of wine? Some buy ready-made wine from various producers, and then blend and bottle the wine. Excise duty on still wine is €3.20 per bottle (and double that for sparkling wine). Expensive wine is no different from expensive clothes, perfumes, cars, coffee, jewellery, and watches, except it doesn’t last as long as some.

The campaign against corruption has been a central feature of Chinese president Xi Jinping’s leadership since 2012. Photograph: Yan Yan/Xinhua via APChina’s top general is under investigation for corruption in a dramatic escalation of a purge of the military leadership that has left president Xi Jinping in sole operational command of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The latest moves follow last year’s purge of He Weidong, the second most senior general in the PLA after Mr Zhang. Mr Zhang was a member of the politburo, the top decision-making body of the Communist Party and his father fought alongside Mr Xi’s under Mao Zedong during China’s civil war. The PLA Daily suggested in an editorial that Mr Zhang and Mr Liu were not only accused of corruption but were undermining Mr Xi’s authority over the PLA.
