The New England Patriots turned the page to the Los Angeles Chargers without three starters. Center Ben Brown has entered the NFL’s concussion protocol, while cornerback Marcus Jones and safety Kyle Dugger also missed the Christmas Eve practice inside Gillette Stadium. Here’s the first injury report heading into Saturday’s 1 p.m. ET kickoff there. Since arriving off the practice squad of the Las Vegas Raiders , Brown has started all 10 games and stayed in for all 667 offensive snaps. On a shorter week, his absence potentially puts the center position in the hands of the organization’s top selection from the 2022 NFL draft. The secondary also remained shorthanded in Foxborough on Tuesday. Jones has now been sidelined for four consecutive practices due to a hip injury, while Dugger’s ankle injury is now accompanied by a quad injury. The defensive captain handled every down during what became a 24-21 loss to the AFC Champion Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium. Two rookies continue to reside on injured reserve for the Patriots. Both, however, were among the limited participants to begin Chargers prep. At linebacker, Jacobs saw his 21-day practice window open after being sidelined by a concussion in November. And at offensive tackle, Wallace still awaits his return to the 53-man roster following a September ankle injury. As for Strange, in his first game back since sustaining a torn patellar tendon in 2023, he played three snaps on special teams. The 27-game starter at left guard is factoring in at the pivot spot now. The Patriots promoted rookie running back Terrell Jennings from the practice squad after ruling out Hasty on the final injury report of last week. The veteran, whose campaign includes 30 offensive touches and 10 kickoff returns, had been a non-participant for three practices because of an ankle issue. He returned in a full capacity on Tuesday.The five-part series will debut globally on December 10, following elite global players on and off the field as they compete in the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida. A trailer for the series titled Polo, executive produced by Harry and Meghan, was released on Thursday, giving a behind-the-scenes look at the “fast-paced and glamorous world of polo”. In a statement, Harry said: “This series offers audiences an unprecedented, behind-the-scenes look into the passion and determination driving some of the world’s elite polo players, revealing the grit behind the glamour. “We’re proud to showcase the true depth and spirit of the sport — and the intensity of its high-stakes moments.” It has been produced by the Sussexes’ Archewell Productions, having previously released three documentaries with Netflix as part of a multimillion-pound deal with the streaming giant. Heart Of Invictus, which aired last August, followed a group of service members on their road to the Invictus Games, the Paralympic-style sporting competition set up by Harry in 2014 for injured and sick military personnel and veterans. Netflix also released the documentary series Live To Lead and the controversial six-part Harry & Meghan documentary in December 2022. Harry and Meghan moved to the US in 2020 after stepping down from royal duties.
TEHRAN- Imagine the sharp scratch of pen on paper, sketching scenes of war, displacement, and resilience. The panels come alive, telling stories too raw for photographs and too complex for a headline. This is the world of Joe Sacco, a pioneer who turned the ink-stained pages of comics into a medium for journalism as vivid as it is visceral: Comics Journalism. For decades, Sacco has redefined what journalism can be, using the medium of comics to plunge readers into the lived realities of those caught in warzones. From the Israeli crimes in "Palestine" (1996) and "Footnotes in Gaza" (2009) to the horrors of ethnic cleansing in Bosnia in "Safe Area Goražde" (2000) and "The Fixer" (2003), Sacco’s work has consistently paired meticulous research with gut-wrenching art. His unique style not only documents events but humanizes them, placing individual voices at the forefront of historical and political turmoil. Sacco's illustrations, which place the audience directly and objectively within the depicted conditions, challenge the world's perception of events in Palestine and the crimes of Israel. As the audience turns each page of Sacco's comics, they accompany him on a journey in search of the truth, uncovering the dystopia of the occupied territories that biased media often avoid revealing. After years, Sacco takes up his pen again, this time to address Israel's bloody genocide in Gaza. Titled “The War on Gaza,” this series has been published in installments on The Comics Journal’s website (TCJ.com), with the print version released by Fantagraphics on December 17. In an interview with the Tehran Times, Sacco explained why he created the comic, saying that he was shocked by the events of October 7 and then even more shocked by Israel’s ruthless attack on Gaza, which right from the start seemed to be going to a very dark place. “I knew I had to respond, but I was still unable to gather my thoughts properly. It was the plea from a friend in Khan Younis who endured the relentless bombing that finally pushed me to put pen to paper. He told me, ‘Please lift up your voice,’” he added. The comic journalist stated that he prefers to report — going to a place, interviewing people, and letting them speak for themselves—but there was no chance to do that in this case, and there still isn’t. Sacco mentioned that since he lives in America, its role in the destruction of Gaza became his focus in "War on Gaza". “Clearly, the United States is actively participating in this genocide. It is providing the bombs and diplomatic cover for Israel’s actions.” Born in Malta in 1960 to an engineer father and a teacher mother, Joe Sacco spent part of his childhood in Australia before moving with his family to the United States at the age of 12. While living in Berlin in the early 1990s, curiosity and a feeling that he was not hearing the whole story— “American coverage of the Middle East is very shallow”—propelled him to Gaza. On a page from "War on Gaza", Sacco writes about the brutal crimes of the Zionist regime: “Is it genocide, or is it self-defense? Let’s make everyone happy and say it is both. In that case, we’ll need new terminology. I propose ‘genocidal self-defense.’” Explaining the use of this new term, he told the Tehran Times that we have to interrogate what the words ‘self-defense’ means. “Are they carte blanche for any response, one without limits, including genocide? This seems to be what Israel means by ‘self-defense.’ Does ‘self-defense’ absolve a nation or group of compliance with hard-won international laws or basic decency? I don’t think so.” The American-Maltese journalist stated that he would like the audience of "War on Gaza" to be aware that Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza. “I would like people to understand that killing tens of thousands of people, destroying universities and hospitals, targeting journalists and aid workers, blowing up entire neighborhoods, ruining agricultural land, forcing people to move from one location to another and attacking them anyway — that these things are intended to make life in Gaza impossible. And that much of the Western world is complicit and is even participating in these crimes.” The pioneer of comics journalism noted the impact of this medium, which combines journalism and comic books, that like all the visual media, comics has the ability to immediately make an impression, within seconds. “I use comics in a journalistic sense to take the reader to the places I have been and to meet the people I have met. If I do my research well, I can also take the reader into the past, into historical events.” In 1992, Sacco published his report of this trip in a nine-issue graphic novel "Palestine". The book, which was the result of interviews with Palestinians and the occupiers and narrated the history of the expulsion of the Palestinians and the beginning of the intifada, was able to win the 1996 American Book Award and was highly praised. For this early work, Sacco spent two months in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and Occupied territories between 1991 and 1992, during the first Intifada. Travelling from taxi to taxi and camp to camp, Sacco — who holds a BA in Journalism from the University of Oregon — collected the voices of the people, incorporating them with notes on the region's history and his reflections. Gary Groth, co-founder of Fantagraphics, which published the graphic novel, told the Guardian that after the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7 and the subsequent bombing of Gaza demand for the book had soared. Following "Palestine", Sacco traveled to Bosnia to document the truth of the Bosnian war, resulting in the creation of two novels, "Safe Area Goražde" and "The Fixer." "Safe Area Goražde" focuses on Goražde, which is a Bosnian Muslim area. The journalist then returned to Palestine to cover the story of Rafah and Khan Yunis massacre by Israel in 1956 in 400-page "Footnotes in Gaza". After the publication of "Footnotes in Gaza", the Israeli newspaper Haaretz accused Sacco of distortion, bias and hyperbole. In a report from this newspaper, leading Israeli military historian Meir Pail stated, “It's a big exaggeration. There was never a killing of such a degree. Nobody was murdered. I was there. I don't know of any massacre.” In response to the Tehran Times, Sacco shared his opinion on the negative feedback from Zionists, explaining that because he does not have a large social media presence, he is not very aware of it. “Also, I am very clear in my own mind that this is a genocide, so it really does not matter what negative feedback I might get,” the journalist added referring to "War on Gaza". In his stories, Sacco appears in a caricatured form, wearing a cable-knit jumper and round glasses (which stand in for his eyes). He even depicted the hospitality of the Palestinian people in his graphic novels. The comic journalist explained what he remembers the most is the hospitality of the Palestinian people. “They always welcomed me even when they questioned whether talking to me would do them any good at all.” Sacco stated that Palestinians have almost always expressed their appreciation for his work. “They have never made me feel that it was inappropriate for a white Westerner to write and draw about their lives and struggle.” Joe Sacco’s "War on Gaza" stands as a powerful testament to the ability of art to confront uncomfortable truths and give voice to the silenced. Through his masterful storytelling and evocative illustrations, Sacco not only documents the devastating realities of Gaza and Zionist regime’s crimes but also challenges global complicity and the narratives perpetuated by biased media. As with his previous works on Palestine, Bosnia, and other war-torn regions, Sacco’s latest comic journal transcends the boundaries of traditional journalism, urging readers to take a deeper look at the truth of the Zionist regime's genocide in Gaza and the United States' contributions to this horrific crime. Sacco writes, intelligently and sarcastically, about the repetitive conclusion of such Western crimes at the end of his graphic novel: “We know how this ends: The war-mongers will recast themselves as peacemakers and humbly nominate themselves to the Nobel committee for its prize.” AH/SABAmong elites across the ideological spectrum, there's one point of unifying agreement: Americans are bitterly divided. What if that's wrong? What if elites are the ones who are bitterly divided while most Americans are fairly unified? History rarely lines up perfectly with the calendar (the "sixties" didn't really start until the decade was almost over). But politically, the 21st century neatly began in 2000, when the election ended in a tie and the color coding of electoral maps became enshrined as a kind of permanent tribal color war of "red vs. blue." Elite understanding of politics has been stuck in this framework ever since. Politicians and voters have leaned into this alleged political reality, making it seem all the more real in the process. I loathe the phrase "perception is reality," but in politics it has the reifying power of self-fulfilling prophecy. Like rival noble families in medieval Europe, elites have been vying for power and dominance on the arrogant assumption that their subjects share their concern for who rules rather than what the rulers can deliver. In 2018, the group More in Common published a massive report on the "hidden tribes" of American politics. The wealthiest and whitest groups were "devoted conservatives" (6%) and "progressive activists" (8%). These tribes dominate the media, the parties and higher education, and they dictate the competing narratives of red vs. blue, particularly on cable news and social media. Meanwhile, the overwhelming majority of Americans resided in, or were adjacent to, the "exhausted majority." These people, however, "have no narrative," as David Brooks wrote at the time. "They have no coherent philosophic worldview to organize their thinking and compel action." Lacking a narrative might seem like a very postmodern problem, but in a postmodern elite culture, postmodern problems are real problems. It's worth noting that red vs. blue America didn't emerge ex nihilo. The 1990s were a time when the economy and government seemed to be working, at home and abroad. As a result, elites leaned into the narcissism of small differences to gain political and cultural advantage. They remain obsessed with competing, often apocalyptic, narratives. That leaves out most Americans. The gladiatorial combatants of cable news, editorial pages and academia, and their superfan spectators, can afford these fights. Members of the exhausted majority are more interested in mere competence. I think that's the hidden unity elites are missing. This is why we keep throwing incumbent parties out of power: They get elected promising competence but get derailed -- or seduced -- by fan service to, or trolling of, the elites who dominate the national conversation. There's a difference between competence and expertise. One of the most profound political changes in recent years has been the separation of notions of credentialed expertise from real-world competence. This isn't a new theme in American life, but the pandemic and the lurch toward identity politics amplified distrust of experts in unprecedented ways. This is a particular problem for the left because it is far more invested in credentialism than the right. Indeed, some progressives are suddenly realizing they invested too much in the authority of experts and too little in the ability of experts to provide what people want from government, such as affordable housing, decent education and low crime. The New York Times' Ezra Klein says he's tired of defending the authority of government institutions. Rather, "I want them to work." One of the reasons progressives find Trump so offensive is his absolute inability to speak the language of expertise -- which is full of coded elite shibboleths. But Trump veritably shouts the language of competence. I don't mean he is actually competent at governing. But he is effectively blunt about calling leaders, experts and elites -- of both parties -- stupid, ineffective, weak and incompetent. He lost in 2020 because voters didn't believe he was actually good at governing. He won in 2024 because the exhausted majority concluded the Biden administration was bad at it. Nostalgia for the low-inflation pre-pandemic economy was enough to convince voters that Trumpian drama is the tolerable price to pay for a good economy. About 3 out of 4 Americans who experienced "severe hardship" because of inflation voted for Trump. The genius of Trump's most effective ad -- "Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you" -- was that it was simultaneously culture-war red meat and an argument that Harris was more concerned about boutique elite concerns than everyday ones. If Trump can actually deliver competent government, he could make the Republican Party the majority party for a generation. For myriad reasons, that's an if so big it's visible from space. But the opportunity is there -- and has been there all along.
Information and Broadcasting Adviser Md. Nahid Islam emphasized the critical role of journalists in today's world, stating that the government expects journalists to deliver accurate information to the public promptly. He made the remarks during a discussion with representatives of the Dhaka Sub-Editors Council on Tuesday at the Secretariat's Department of Posts and Telecommunications conference room. Adviser Nahid stressed the importance of verifying the authenticity of information before publication. "In the era of information technology, combating rumors and misinformation is a significant challenge. Sub-editors play a vital role in addressing this challenge," he said, urging sub-editors to be more responsible in editing news content. He also mentioned that the government has already formed a Media Reform Commission to strengthen the media sector. The adviser encouraged sub-editors to submit specific reform proposals to the commission. He assured that the government would take necessary steps to implement the Wage Board for journalists. During the discussion, leaders of the Dhaka Sub-Editors Council highlighted the need for proper promotions within the profession and called for modern training programs to enhance the skills of sub-editors. They also sought the government's intervention in ensuring the implementation of the Wage Board. Council President Muktadir Anik, General Secretary Jawahar Iqbal Khan, and other leaders, including Vice President Ali Imam Suman, Joint Secretary Monir Ahmad Zarif, and Welfare Secretary Md. Shahid Rana, Women Affairs Secretary Farhana Naznin Flora were present at the meeting. Also attending were Executive Members Shamsul Alam Setu, Anjuman Ara Mun, Tanzimul Noyon, and others. The discussion concluded with a shared commitment to improving the media landscape and addressing the challenges faced by journalists in an evolving information age.COLUMBUS, Ohio — Dominic Zvada kicked a 21-yard field goal with 45 seconds left and Michigan stunned No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday, likely ending the Buckeyes ’ hopes of returning to the Big Ten title game. Kalel Mullings broke away for a 27-yard run, setting up the Wolverines (7-5, 5-4) at Ohio State's 17-yard line with two minutes remaining in the game. The drive stalled at the 3, and Zvada came on for the chip shot. Ohio State (10-2, 7-2, No. 2 CFP) got the ball back but couldn't move it, with Will Howard throwing incomplete on fourth down to seal the Wolverines' fourth straight win over their bitter rival. “You come to Michigan to play this game,” Zvada said. “So, it's the biggest one of the year. It's the one that everyone looks forward to, and to be able to come in here and take the win, it's amazing.” This Ohio State loss in the “The Game” might have been the toughest of the past four because Michigan was unranked and wrapping up a disappointing season. The Wolverines were also playing without a couple of top players: tight end Colston Loveland and cornerback Will Johnson. The Buckeyes were favored by 21 points, the widest point spread for this rivalry since 1978, according to ESPN Stats and Info. Records — and point spreads, for that matter — rarely mean much when these two teams meet. “Our defense played outstanding," Michigan coach Sherrone Moore said. "We held a high-powered offense to 10 points, 77 rushing yards.” The Buckeyes were off all afternoon. Howard was 19 for 33 for 175 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and Jayden Fielding missed two field-goal attempts. The run game was hardly there. “It's hard, man,” an emotional Howard said. “I really don’t have much right now. I do know we're a two-loss team. We're going to get into the playoffs and make a run. But, I mean, this one hurts.” Mullings was Michigan's primary weapon. He rushed for 116 yards and the Wolverines only touchdown of the game in the first half as neither team could get much going offensively on the frigid afternoon. “They made plays, we made plays, so as the game wore on you could definitely, slowly feel them starting to lose confidence, lose that energy and lose that faith,” Mullings said. Howard was clunky all day. In the first half he threw an interception from deep in his own territory that led to Michigan's touchdown. He went out for a play in the second quarter to be checked for a head injury. After the game, he said he was fine. “We're very disappointed, and never thought this would happen right here,” Ohio State coach Ryan Day said. “We expected to win this game and go play in the Big Ten championship game.” After the game, Michigan players attempted to plant their flag at midfield and were confronted by Ohio State players. A skirmish ensued as both teams pushed and shoved before being separated. Michigan: Did just enough and caught Ohio State on an off day. Ohio State: It's inexplicable how badly the Buckeyes played in their biggest game of the season. They would need No. 4 Penn State and No. 10 Indiana to lose later Saturday in order to make it into the Big Ten title game next week. There has been talk all season about how many of the Ohio State team leaders, including receiver Emeka Egbuka, running back TreVeyon Henderson and defensive end Jack Sawyer, chose to return for another year instead of entering the NFL draft because they wanted to beat Michigan at least once. Those players were inconsolable after the game. One of them, linebacker Cody Simon, was asked how he felt. “I just can't speak that right now,” Simon said. “I feel like we let the whole Buckeye nation down.” Michigan will wait for a minor bowl game. Ohio State, assuming either Penn State or Indiana wins on Saturday, will see how the final College Football Playoff rankings shakeout on Dec. 8.
