In the grand scheme of things, this might not register as a vital win, but it did — once again — show the tremendous heart and fight of this group. There was a lot to discuss, so here are a few of our takeaways to get things rolling. You can tell us whether you agree or disagree and — please — add your own takeaways in the comments below:

A study by World Weather Attribution, which analysed the heavy rainfall that caused severe flooding in parts of South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, showed that the region experienced a year’s worth of rain in a period of 10 days. It was also compounded by the current La Nina weather phenomenon which naturally brings wetter conditions in the southern Africa region and is now operating within a much warmer atmosphere. Around 1.3 million people across southern Africa were affected by this month’s floods, The World Health Organisation said. Tete Province, Mozambique, was badly hit (AP)The affected regions in southern Africa are no strangers to heavy downpours and flooding, but scientists were alarmed by the magnitude of the recent events. “This event was a surprise to us because we have experienced the previous ones 25 years ago, which flooded the same areas,” said Bernardino Nhantumbo, a researcher with the Mozambique weather service.

Djeidi Gassama headed the Light Blues in front after just six minutes of a dead rubber as far as the visitors were concerned and the Light Blues looked assured. The German boss said: “After 20 minutes, I felt we were really in a good way. “But then I think 1-1, it happens against the strong teams, it is one moment too late, it happens. “In general, we played against a strong side, very experienced, good individual quality, very (well) coached, a good manager. Rohl said: “For me, it’s now the next game, Hibs, a completely different game against a team who will fight, who will be nasty.

SynopsisChina has executed eleven members of a Myanmar-based crime syndicate. This group was responsible for the deaths of fourteen Chinese citizens. They also ran extensive scam and gambling operations. The executions followed a court sentencing and rejected appeals. Chinese authorities are increasing pressure on border regions to combat such criminal enterprises.

Vincent Chan, 45, is facing years behind bars for molesting girls aged three and four while working at the Bright Horizons nursery in Finchley Road, West Hampstead. Chan filmed himself carrying out the abuse, during naptime at the nursery, and also confessed to downloading thousands of indecent images of children. Chan worked at the Bright Horizons nursery for seven years until he was suspended in 2024, after a colleague raised concerns about his activities with the children. After the hearing, parents of children who went to the Bright Horizons nursery issued a statement saying: “We feel that Bright Horizons has failed us. And how were such horrific crimes against children able to continue for so long without the staff responsible for safeguarding at Bright Horizons nursery acting?

My wife is due to receive her deferred Civil Service pension in March. The apparent crisis at the Civil Service Pension Scheme has now been acknowledged by the government, which revealed that interest-free “hardship loans” of up to £10,000 will be offered to thousands of the worst-affected people. The pension scheme has admitted to a backlog of nearly 90,000 cases – comprising claims, valuations and other requests – that it warned could take months to resolve. He said on one occasion he had been in a queue on the phone to MyCSP for five hours without getting through. Some scheme members had been hit with shock tax bills after Capita recorded incorrect tax codes, it said.

Winners and LosersPeople Who Haven’t Given Up On Watching LiverpoolThis season has been pretty bad, let’s be honest. Whether you’re talking performances or results, Liverpool Football Club have not delivered on the football front in 2025-26. Which, to be fair, makes sense in theory (even if it was always likely to make Liverpool less fun in theory and practice). The level of opposition when they’re not facing Premier League sides is, on balance, a little bit lower. What Happens NextLiverpool have locked down a place in the Round of 16 of the Champions League, and that’s nothing to turn your nose up at regardless how bad things have often been in the Premier League.

Davis (30-0-1, 28 KO) faces charges of false imprisonment, battery, and attempted kidnapping following an alleged assault on ex-partner Courtney Rossel, who also filed a civil suit in October . That incident led to the cancellation of Davis’ planned exhibition against Jake Paul, while the warrant led to the WBA downgrading Davis from lightweight champion to “champion in recess.”Davis has fought just once in the last 19 months, a hugely controversial draw with Lamont Roach Jr in March that saw Davis take a knee before blatantly breaking the rules to get his corner to wipe grease out of his eyes. Talks of a rematch fizzled out with little fanfare.

The centre ground in British politics is dead, most especially if that so-called centre ground is described as the space occupied by Labour governments over the last three decades and Conservative governments until the demise of David Cameron as Prime Minister. Their politics, built on respect for market discipline, a belief in limited government and permanent fiscal restraint, have delivered public services that are collapsing, and living standards that are falling. Reform channels anger but, so far, has offered no plan to rebuild housing, restore public services or revive local economies. In Gorton and Denton, the latest polls suggest that they are expected to beat both Reform and Labour. The centre ground is not coming back.

Yes, Juventus had an outside chance to get into the top eight as the final day of the Champions League league phase dawned on Wednesday night. Juve actually moved up two places to 13th, moving into a slightly better pod for Friday’s draw. At the end of the day, Juve went through the game with minimal expenditure of energy, no one pushing the yellow card threshold got booked, and no one got injured. It wasn’t until the last five minutes of the half that Juve really started to show some life in the final third.
