Is Outlook down? Thousands of Microsoft 365 users report outage issuesSANTA CLARA, Calif. — A day after De’Vondre Campbell Sr. refused to play and walked off the job, coach Kyle Shanahan made it clear Friday that Campbell won’t be returning to the team. “We’re working through the semantics of exactly how to deal with it,” Shanahan said on a media conference call. “You heard from me last night and the players. His actions from the game are not something you can do to your teammates ... and still be part of our team.” Whether Campbell’s one-year, $5 million contract is terminated or he’s released or suspended, Shanahan only said the 49ers would handle it “appropriately.” Campbell did not play a snap in Thursday night’s 12-6 home loss to the Los Angeles Rams, refusing to budge from the bench once the 49ers needed him in the third quarter to replace a fatigued Dre Greenlaw in the latter’s season debut. Shanahan said he wasn’t aware of Campbell’s boycott until asking the defensive coaching staff over their headsets about it in the third quarter. “I addressed De’Vondre and found out. It was pretty simple to see how he was,” Shanahan said. “Then we moved on with our lives after that.” Campbell, who started in place of Greenlaw the past three months, walked off the field in the fourth quarter to the 49ers’ locker room, where he was gone once reporters entered to seek his still-unanswered motive for his in-game desertion. Shanahan said he did not order him off the field, nor did Campbell reveal exactly why he refused to play. “Not sure exactly what led to him leaving the field,” Shanahan said. “Once I found out he wasn’t playing, I moved on to people we could count on.” Teammates seethed over what they deemed Campbell’s “selfish” act to leave their defense in a lurch, seeing how Greenlaw’s troublesome left leg sidelined him after a 30-snap debut and seeing how Dee Winters’ first-half neck injury kept him from working as the No. 3 linebacker, a role that perhaps Campbell thought he deserved in this week’s demotion. This conceivably could spell the end of Campbell’s nine-year NFL career that’s earned him $38 million. He’ll be gone before playing out the one-year, $5 million contract with the 49ers, who turned to him in mid-March after linebacker Eric Kendricks backed out of a deal and defected days later to the Dallas Cowboys in free agency. Campbell, 31, never quite meshed as a linebacker tandem with All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner. Prior to Thursday night’s benching, Campbell was a full-time starter, although he was not in the Week 3 opening snap at Los Angeles when the 49ers instead deployed five linemen and five defensive backs around Warner. Campbell’s 79 tackles rank second to Warner’s 106. “We needed a starting-caliber linebacker to fill in for Dre until he got back. (Campbell) had ups and downs throughout the year,” Shanahan said. “He started off slow. He got more used to our defense and how we expect people to play, and he improved throughout the year.” In the 49ers’ previous home loss before Thursday’s, they fell to another NFC West opponent, and it was Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith racing past Campbell for a go-ahead touchdown run in the final seconds of that 20-17 collapse on Nov. 17. “They just made plays at critical moments,” Campbell said afterward at his locker. Campbell had at least seven tackles — and no more than eight — in five of his six final games, not counting Thursday’s boycott that had teammates fuming in its aftermath. “I have never been around anybody that’s ever done that and I hope that I’m never around anybody that does that again,” tight end George Kittle said. Cornerback Charvarius Ward, who’s been playing through grief after the Oct. 28 death of his toddler daughter, was aghast at Campbell’s ploy. “If he didn’t want to play, he shouldn’t have dressed out. He could have told them that before the game,” Ward said. “I feel like that was some sucker (expletive) that he did. ... That’s some selfish stuff to me, in my opinion. Probably gonna be cut soon.” Part of the 49ers’ attraction to Campbell stemmed from his connection with Shanahan, who was the Super Bowl-bound Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator in 2016 when Campbell arrived as a fourth-round draft pick. Campbell played four seasons in Atlanta, 2020 in Arizona, then began a three-year stint in Green Bay by making All-Pro in 2021. It’s not a certainty Greenlaw will be healthy enough to make an encore next Sunday when the 49ers visit the Miami Dolphins. He expressed concern about his knee’s stability in the left leg he’s been rehabilitating the past 10 months because of his Achilles tear in the Super Bowl. “His Achilles and knee checked out good. He’s dealing with soreness,” said Shanahan, who listed Greenlaw and Winters (neck) as day to day. Warner (ankle) and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (knee) all have health concerns, too. Jalen Graham and DaShaun White are on the practice squad. Curtis Robinson, Campbell’s potential replacement earlier in the year, is on injured reserve because of a knee injury, as is the case with Tatum Bethune. As for Campbell, “In my opinion, as a (NFL) brotherhood, he should never play again. Why would you want him on your team?” former NFL safety Ryan Clark said Friday morning on ESPN’s “Get Up.” His in-game exit drew comparisons to those marking the NFL farewells of Vontae Davis (2018 Bills) and Antonio Brown (2021 Bucs). Whereas 49ers tight end Vernon Davis got sent off by Mike Singletary during a 2008 game, Davis rebounded from that viral moment and stayed with the 49ers into the 2015 season as a two-time Pro Bowler. The 49ers (6-8) play next Sunday at the Miami Dolphins, before a home finale on Monday night Dec. 30 against the NFC-leading Detroit Lions, then the regular-season finale at the Arizona Cardinals. ©2024 MediaNews Group, Inc.

Some impacted said they were having trouble seeing their emails, loading calendars or opening other apps.Hatayspor will host Goztepe SK in the Turkish Super Lig on Sunday, with the hosts hoping to end a three-match winless streak and take a big step towards leaving the relegation zone. Meanwhile, the visitors will be looking to win two matches in a row after bouncing back from defeat with a 3-1 victory against Adana Demirspor last time out. © Imago Hatayspor struggled to stay in the top flight last season and have found themselves in a similar predicament this year, currently second from bottom with eight points from 14 matches. The Star of the South failed to win any of their opening 10 matches, and their sole victory came against Gaziantep in their 11th attempt, though they have since failed to record another win. Hatayspor headed into the game against Istanbul Basaksehir on a four-match unbeaten run across all competitions, but they were outclassed 3-0 and could not register more than one attempt on target in the game. Riza Calimbay 's side had a decent mini-run between late October and early December when they won three matches, but two of those victories were in the Turkish Cup, with the other league games in that run producing one defeat and two draws. Avoiding losing streaks will be vital to the top-flight survival of the Star of the South, and this will be what they will look to avoid when they take on a Goztepe side that has proven that they belong at this level. Hatayspor have dominated the recent installments of this fixture, winning the last two, but four losses in the seven times they have hosted this fixture highlights that they have found things difficult against the visitors in the past. © Imago Goztepe are enjoying their return to the top flight, with 24 points from 14 matches currently putting them in sixth place, two points behind fourth-placed Eyupspor who have played one extra game. Stanimir Stoilov 's side successfully bounced back from their loss to Basaksehir with the victory against the league's whipping boys last time out, despite playing over 14 minutes of the game with a man deficit following Ogun Bayrak 's 76th-minute sending off. The biggest issue for Goztepe in this campaign is the disparity between their home and away form – while they are unbeaten at home with six wins from seven games, the visitors have won just once on the road, while losing four of six away matches. Out of their total 20 goals conceded so far, Stoilov's men have conceded 14 on the road, while they have lost four of the last five away matches, though playing at a ground that they have found success more times than not could increase their probability of getting a positive result on Sunday. © Imago Hatayspor could remain without midfielder Massanga Matondo , who is hoping to recover in time from a foot injury to play some part in this clash. Carlos Strandberg , who is the team's top scorer in the Super Lig with three goals, will be looking to earn a place in the starting line-up. Goztepe will have to make do without midfielder Bayrak who was sent off after two yellow cards last time out and is consequently suspended for this clash. Kubilay Kanatsizkus is nursing an ankle injury that makes him doubtful, while Isaac Solet is ruled out of the season with an ACL injury. Chelsea loanee David Datro Fofana is also sidelined for Sunday's game with a thigh injury that is expected to keep him out until January. Hatayspor possible starting lineup: Kardesler; Sertel, Calvo, Kilama, Yilmaz; Diack, Saglam; Bamgboye, Pedro, Fernandes; Aboubakar Goztepe SK possible starting lineup: Lis; Bokele, Heliton, Altikardes; Silva, Hugo, Dennis, Miroshi; Tijanic; Juan, Romulo Goztepe have struggled on the road in this campaign, and this gives Hatayspor an opportunity to have a go at them at home, though we believe that the visitors still have enough quality to get something from the game, which is why we are predicting a stalemate.

On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks said that “there are not going to be a lot of the Trump appointees like Jim Mattis, who want to be liked, who want to do a responsible job for the government.” Brooks said, “These are anti-institutionalists. That’s the theme of the whole — the group of people. And so many have scandals because they are outside the pale of polite society. So, there are not going to be a lot of the Trump appointees like Jim Mattis, who want to be liked, who want to do a responsible job for the government. When you pick somebody who has a sex scandal or a financial scandal, they are totally on your side, because they have no other route to a career in their lives. So, they are going to be total Trump loyalists. And their mission is to disrupt the institutions.” He continued, “Now, some of the — I happen to think a lot of our institutions need some disrupting. We’ve got a lot of, like, why can’t we make — why can’t we build subways in this country? Why can’t we build fighter planes in this country? A lot of these institutions have gone creaky. And so, they need reform, but they don’t need a blowtorch. And, especially in the attorney general’s office, what we’re talking about is not reforming the Justice Department. That’s not cleaning out the bureaucracy. That’s taking a blowtorch to the neutral institutions of justice.” Follow Ian Hanchett on Twitter @IanHanchett

UN nuclear watchdog board passes resolution chiding IranIt looks like negotiations between the BC NDP and the Greens have come to a resolution. In a statement Friday, Premier David Eby explains that the government and the Green Party have “reached an agreement to work together on a specific set of shared priorities.” “British Columbians expect us to work collaboratively to deliver on the most important issues people are facing,” Eby shared. According to Eby, the four-year agreement’s priorities include: health care, affordable housing, creating livable communities, and the economy. “We are two distinct parties with two distinct identities, and we won’t always agree. We also have many shared values. The agreement lays out specific areas of action we will work together to achieve,” Eby said. “This agreement will strengthen the stability of the government and help deliver on the priorities of British Columbians. We will continue to work with all MLAs who want to make the legislature work for people.” The agreement is likely a bit of a relief for the NDP as it strengthens their thin majority of just one seat over the BC Conservatives. The Greens, meanwhile, have two seats in the legislature. Speaking at a media availability Friday morning, Deputy Premier Niki Sharma said she believes it’s an agreement that finds shared values between the parties. “I know that we’re both distinct parties with distinct values, but in a time that we’re in today, it’s great to find and display a space where we can speak across differences and layout initiatives that we know will make British Columbians lives better, and it’s important that we do that work to build bridges,” Sharma said. Despite the deal, Sharma said the agreement “clearly states” that the parties maintain their differences. “I know this was very important to [the Green Party], to be able to disagree or differ from government positions when that happens, but British Columbians expect us to work together,” she explained. “I know that we’ll have differences of opinions moving forward, but the fact that we can show a pathway where two political parties in a time of great polarization can come together for British Columbians, I think, is a profound thing,” she added.

Sarjis Alam, seneral secretary of the July Shaheed Smriti Foundation, today said Sheikh Hasina and her associates have no rights to engage in politics until they face trial for all the crimes they committed. "How can we console the parents, brothers and sisters of the martyred families of my brother and sister who were martyred? The murderer Hasina has always tried to consolidate power by telling stories of 1975," he said. He reaffirmed his commitment to justice for the victims of the July martyrs while talking to journalists at the Barishal District Shilpakala Academy auditorium today, while inquiring about the family members of the martyrs of Barisal division during the movement. He condemned those advocating for the political rehabilitation of Sheikh Hasina and her associates, describing them as accomplices of fascists. "We will not let this happen even at the cost of our lives," he said. "How did she kill 2,000 people? If she understands compassion, how can she commit these murders? They have no right to live in Bangladesh with the political platform they have in mind," Sarjis said. He gave financial assistance of Tk 5 lakh to 79 martyr families of Barishal division from the July Shaheed Smriti Foundation. Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Delwar Hossain, Civil Surgeon Dr Maria Hasan, Additional Superintendent of Police Alaul Hasan, Chief Executive Officer of July Shaheed Smriti Foundation Mir Mahbubur Rahman Snigdha, Central Coordinator Mahin Sarkar, and family members of those killed and injured in July-August were present the programme.B.C. Premier David Eby says his party has reached an agreement in principle with the B.C. Greens to ensure "stable governance" for the next four years. The agreement, subject to annual reviews, spells out the basis on which B.C. Greens provide "confidence" to the B.C. NDP and areas where the parties will work together. They include healthcare, where the B.C. NDP will support the growth of Community Health Centres, a key proposal of the B.C. Greens during the election campaign. Other key elements include housing with the government actively supporting efforts by various groups to "protect, purchase and build 30,000 units of non-market housing" over the next four years with 7,500 units as a goal by the end of 2025. Electoral reform also makes a return with the establishment of a special commitment to "review and consider preferred methods of proportional representation" as part of deliberations designed to "increase democratic engagement, address increasing political polarization, and improve the representativeness of government." The agreement does "not lay out the full program" of government "nor does it presume support" for "initiatives and other matters not addressed within this agreement" but gives Eby's government more stability once the legislature returns next year. The agreement echoes without replicating the confidence-and-supply agreement of 2017 that allowed the B.C NDP to return after 16 years in opposition as a minority government with the help of three B.C. Greens. The B.C. NDP currently holds 47 seats, enough for a bare majority, while the B.C. Greens hold two seats. More to come...

2024 has been an excellent year for the broader market, with all the major indexes hovering around all-time highs. After increasing by just 9% between 2021 and the end of 2023, gold has had a breakout year in 2024. With a 28.7% year-to-date (YTD) return, gold is slightly outperforming the S&P 500 's ( ^GSPC -1.11% ) 26.6% YTD gain. Here are some factors that can drive the price of gold , the role gold can play in a diversified portfolio, and different ways to invest in gold. Factors that affect the price of gold Gold is a commodity, so the price can move based on several macroeconomic factors. Lower interest rates can lead to lower capital costs and spur investment in new projects for gold miners, boosting supply. Central banks may decide to increase their gold reserves, leading to higher demand and prices. According to Reuters, the People's Bank of China was the largest official sector buyer of gold in 2023. Sustained demand out of China could help drive long-term appreciation in the price of gold. Gold-based luxury goods and industrial processes that use gold can also lead to higher gold demand. It's also worth understanding how gold prices can differ based on the currency it is quoted in. For example, a strong U.S. dollar relative to other currencies can mean a lower gold price in U.S. denominated gold. Here's a look at the performance of gold in different currencies compared to the S&P 500 over the last decade. ^SPX data by YCharts. Gold may have underperformed the S&P 500 over the last decade, but not by much in other currencies. The U.S. stock market has been stronger than many other stock markets of developed countries in recent years. For example, using Japanese yen to buy gold, instead of investing in the Japanese stock market, would have been a superior investment. Investing in gold versus investing in stocks Assets can do just about anything in the short term, so there's no telling how gold will stack up compared to a U.S. equity benchmark in a year. However, the S&P 500 will probably continue outperforming gold over the long term if the U.S. economy continues to grow . The S&P 500 has been an excellent long-term investment because leading U.S. companies have grown in value. From companies that have been in business for hundreds of years to newer, tech-oriented companies, U.S. corporations are earning more money thanks to sustained U.S. innovation, favorable conditions for business, growing populations, and growing global industrialization and consumption. A bet against the S&P 500 in favor of gold is basically saying that the U.S. will lose its edge on the global stage, or that the factors influencing gold will lead to sustained price appreciation that outpaces the S&P 500. For example, if gold mining slows due to environmental concerns or central banks ramp up a gold stockpile, gold could outpace the S&P 500 even if the S&P 500 puts up solid gains. Still, it's probably best for most investors to view gold as a small part of a portfolio, rather than as the dominant holding in a long-term plan. Ways to invest in gold There are plenty of ways to buy gold. You can buy gold jewelry or bullion. But that usually involves paying a premium to the spot price and comes with security risks and potential storage fees. There's also the option to invest in companies that mine for gold. Investing in gold miners or gold mining exchange-traded funds ( ETFs ) that pay dividends is a way to collect passive income from gold. However, gold miners often face geopolitical risks and must manage costs to ensure financial stability. Gold miners can also be somewhat unreliable forms of passive income. For example, Newmont ( NEM -0.66% ) , which is one of the most valuable U.S.-based gold miners by market cap, paid $1 per share in 2024 dividends compared to $1.60 in 2023 and $2.20 in 2022, even though 2024 was the best year for gold prices during that period. Perhaps the simplest way to invest in gold is through a gold ETF. Gold ETFs like the SPDR Gold Shares ETF ( GLD -0.69% ) and the iShares Gold Trust (NYSEMKT: IAU) use custodians that hold gold on their behalf. Both ETFs charge an annual expense ratio (0.25% for the iShares Gold Trust and 0.4% for the SPDR Gold Trust). But these fees can be well worth it for the simplicity and liquidity advantages of investing in "digital gold" rather than physical bullion. Gold can serve as a role player in a diversified portfolio Incorporating gold into a portfolio of other assets, such as equities, bonds, certificates of deposit, and high-yield savings, can be a good way to achieve diversification. However, gold isn't a good way to earn reliable passive income. Gold can also be hard to buy and sell unless you are investing in a gold-focused ETF. Gold can grow in value over time based on supply and demand dynamics and central bank policies, whereas the stock market grows in value based on economic expansion and U.S. leadership in several sectors. Investors who don't own any gold may want to look more closely at the SPDR Gold Shares ETF or the iShares Gold Trust, which can serve as foundational gold holdings without the security or liquidity concerns of buying physical gold.(BPT) - Tech gifts are consistently some of the most popular presents to give and receive during the holidays.

President-elect Donald Trump selected former NFL player for Cabinet position

The French company Saint-Gobain has begun the demolition of its Merrimack facility, where manufacturing processes released PFAS chemicals into surrounding communities for years, contaminating drinking water for nearby residents. Steel from the site will be recycled as scrap. Debris from parts of the facility heavily contaminated with PFAS, or so-called “forever chemicals,” will be shipped out of state to a hazardous waste landfill. The company plans to leave behind the concrete foundation, with contaminants scraped off. But groundwater and soil at Saint-Gobain’s site — a patch of land across from a bowling alley on the Daniel Webster Highway, on the banks of the Merrimack River — is still heavily contaminated, according to state regulators. The company has brought treated water to more than 1,600 properties affected by contamination through agreements with state officials. And they’re required to continue those efforts. But how much Saint-Gobain must remediate the PFAS pollution in soil and groundwater is an ongoing debate between company officials and New Hampshire’s Department of Environmental Services. In May 2023, the company submitted a “remedial action plan,” laying out alternatives for treating contaminated soil and groundwater. They chose a mix of “institutional controls” and “natural attenuation” — options that include no actual cleanup, but instead limit the use of the site in the future and require the company to monitor pollution as the chemicals degrade naturally. That plan would prohibit future residential use of the site and adjacent properties, and would require any activity that disturbed soil to have a management plan. It would also limit the ability of industrial or residential developments to use groundwater affected by the contamination. The company doesn’t specify the timeline for restoration of the soil or groundwater under that plan, simply saying it would be “long.” PFAS chemicals are known for their resistance to degrading naturally in the environment. In a supplement submitted early this year, Saint-Gobain stood firm in their decision, saying other methods like excavating and disposing of soil or extracting and treating groundwater would not be more effective at remediating the site and would have higher costs and risks. In October, state regulators sent the company a letter saying their plan was inadequate and didn’t include any efforts to reduce or mitigate high concentrations of contamination that continue to impact groundwater and surface water. In one part of the letter, regulators say that the company “makes no attempt” to eliminate ongoing pollution from “grossly impacted soils,” which can discharge contaminants into groundwater, a nearby brook, and the Merrimack River — a source of public drinking water. Mike Wimsatt, the director of the waste management division for the Department of Environmental Services, said remedial action plans are created anytime regulated contaminants are released into soil or groundwater at concentrations above the state’s standards. The goal of those plans is to get the site back to accepted standards — but sometimes that can’t happen quickly. “What we generally look for in those cases is a remedial action plan that uses the technology available to do the best job that you can, with an expectation that over a time — and it may be a long time or even decades — there will be some expectation that soil and groundwater can meet the standards,” he said. “It’s a very tall order at this site because the contamination is significant and the concentrations at which we regulate these compounds are very low.” Wimsatt said the company’s proposal doesn’t come close to reducing the mass of contamination at the site as much as possible. In an email Friday, a Saint-Gobain North America representative said their plan “aligns with appropriate industry and environmental practices.” “Natural attenuation and institutional controls are broadly accepted as an effective remedial measure at sites like this throughout the state and across the country. We remain committed to remediation efforts in the community and continue to work with NHDES to finalize the Remedial Action plan for the site,” the email said. Saint-Gobain has until mid-January to respond with a revised plan for remediating soil and groundwater at their facility. Meanwhile, demolition continues. In a Dec. 12 report, the company told state regulators they planned to complete their interior asbestos abatement and PCB remediation this month, take apart emissions control equipment, and start more demolition as they receive permits from the town of Merrimack. The company says they expect all phases of their demolition to be completed in late 2025.

Duke's Cooper Flagg thrives in first true road environment, quieting Arizona crowd with 24 points TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Duke freshman phenom Cooper Flagg got his first taste of a true college road atmosphere on Friday night, playing in front of a raucous announced crowd of 14,634 at Arizona’s McKale Center. For a few early moments, he looked a little nervous. It was fleeting. Flagg scored 16 points in the second half, finishing with a game-high 24 as No. 12 Duke pulled away for a 69-55 win over No. 17 Arizona. The preseason All-American shot 10 of 22 from the field, grabbed six rebounds and had three assists, two blocks and a steal. 76ers center Joel Embiid sidelined due to swelling in his left knee and will miss two games PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia 76ers say center Joel Embiid is managing swelling in his left knee and will miss a second consecutive game Sunday. The Sixers issued a statement on the condition of the 2023 NBA MVP at halftime of Friday’s NBA Cup game against the Brooklyn Nets, saying the decision to sideline Embiid was made along with the team’s medical staff. Embiid was ruled out prior to Friday’s game against the Nets due to what the team described as left knee injury maintenance. The Sixers host the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. Giants release quarterback Daniel Jones just days after benching him EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The Daniel Jones era in New York is over. The Giants quarterback was granted his release by the team just days after the franchise said it was benching him in favor of third-stringer Tommy DeVito. New York president John Mara said Jones approached the team about releasing him and the club obliged. Mara added he was “disappointed” at the quick dissolution of a once-promising relationship between Jones and the team. Giants coach Brian Daboll benched Jones in favor of DeVito following a loss to the Panthers in Germany that dropped New York's record to 2-8. Austin Hays, Kyle Finnegan, Brendan Rodgers and Jordan Romano among 62 new free agents NEW YORK (AP) — Outfielder Austin Hays, right-hander Kyle Finnegan and second baseman Brendan Rodgers were among 62 players who became free agents when their teams failed to offer 2025 contracts. Right-hander Jordan Romano, left-hander Patrick Sandoval and outfielders Michael Tauchman and Ramón Laureano also were among the players cut loose, many of whom would have been eligible for salary arbitration. Washington cut right-hander Tanner Rainey, its last remaining player from the 2019 World Series champions. Finnegan and Hays are former All-Stars. US ski star Shiffrin leads World Cup slalom after 1st run and closes in on career win No. 99 GURGL, Austria (AP) — Mikaela Shiffrin closed in on what would be the American ski star’s career win No. 99 by setting the pace in the opening run of a women’s World Cup slalom. Shiffrin wasn’t clean going into the steep of the Kirchenkar course but gained time on all competitors with a near-flawless finish section. Wendy Holdener was fastest at the first two splits and the Swiss racer trailed Shiffrin by 0.13 seconds at the finish. Shiffrin says she was feeling "a little bit funky on some spots.” A victory would give Shiffrin five chances to compete for win No. 100 during a North American sweep of the World Cup starting next week. Conor McGregor must pay $250K to woman who says he raped her, civil jury rules LONDON (AP) — A civil jury in Ireland has awarded more than $250,000 to a woman who says she was raped by mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor in a Dublin hotel penthouse after a night of heavy partying. The jury on Friday awarded Nikita Hand in her lawsuit that claimed McGregor “brutally raped and battered” her in 2018. The lawsuit says the assault left her heavily bruised and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. McGregor testified that he never forced her to do anything and that Hand fabricated her allegations after the two had consensual sex. McGregor says he will appeal the verdict. Russell puts Mercedes on pole at Las Vegas and Verstappen nips Norris in championship battle LAS VEGAS (AP) — George Russell put Mercedes on the pole for the Las Vegas Grand Prix in an upset over teammate Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton was fastest in the first two practice sessions with Russell fastest in Friday night’s third and final session. But come qualifying, Hamilton made two mistakes in the final group and wound up a distant 10th. Carlos Sainz Jr. and Charles Leclerc seemed to sweep the front row until Russell’s late lap pushed Sainz to second. Pierre Gasly slid into third, and Leclerc wound up fourth. Championship leader Max Verstappen of Red Bull qualified fifth for Saturday night's race.
