#Guatemala #Bus #Crash #Nation #World #news #dayCatherine, Princess of Wales smiles in new woodland photo in honor of World Cancer Day
CNN
—
Kensington Place released a photo of a smiling Princess of Wales in honor of World Cancer Day on Monday.
According to the palace’s post on X, the photo was taken by her six-year old son Prince Louis. It shows Catherine with arms outstretched atop a log in a forest.
“Don’t forget to nurture all that lies beyond the disease,” reads the short caption, signed “C.”
Catherine last month revealed that she is in remission from cancer.
“As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal,” she said in a post on X in January.
“I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.”
Catherine, who is also known as Kate, stepped back from her public duties last year to undergo treatment for an unspecified cancer. In September, she announced that she had completed her chemotherapy, and said she was “doing what I can to stay cancer free.”
In honor of World Cancer Day, Catherine, Princess of Wales has shared a beautiful new photo of herself smiling in a peaceful woodland setting. The photo, taken to raise awareness for cancer research and support, shows the princess surrounded by the beauty of nature as she stands tall and strong.In the caption, Catherine shared her support for all those affected by cancer and expressed her gratitude for the tireless work of researchers, doctors, and caregivers who work to fight this devastating disease. She encouraged her followers to join her in raising awareness and supporting those in need.
The princess’s radiant smile in the photo serves as a reminder of the strength and resilience of those facing cancer, and the importance of coming together as a community to support one another. Let us all take a moment today to honor those affected by cancer and show our support for finding a cure. #WorldCancerDay #StrengthInUnity #FightAgainstCancer.

Man City ‘reject Chelsea deadline day approach’ but lay out terms to strike agreement | Football | Sport
Manchester City have reportedly slapped down an approach from Chelsea for midfield prospect Nico O’Reilly.
The 19-year-old has been knocking on the door of Pep Guardiola‘s first team this season with starts in the Community Shield, the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup. He opened his senior account against Salford City last month and has impressed with substitute appearances in the Premier League and in Europe.
According to ESPN, Chelsea have tested the waters regarding a move for O’Reilly, but they were knocked back by the reigning Premier League champions. However, it is said that City would be willing to sell the youngster if a buy-back clause is included in any potential deal.
Manchester-born O’Reilly has been part of City’s academy since 2011. His progress has seen him rewarded with England recognition, and he is capped up to Under-20 level with the Three Lions.
City have made buy-back clauses common practice when selling their top young talent in recent years. They reportedly had the option to bring Romeo Lavia back to the Etihad Stadium before his move to Stamford Bridge, and they have the same opportunity with Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap.
The Blues have made a killing through selling off academy talent, with Lavia and Delap among those to fetch handsome fees in the transfer market. Those sales have left City in a healthy PSR position, which has funded their frivolous spending in the current window.
Guardiola has taken this turbulent season as his cue to instigate a squad rebuild. The club have spent big on Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis, while 18-year-old defender Juma Bah has been signed from Real Valladolid before being sent on loan to Lens.
And City now look set to solve arguably their biggest problem of the campaign, following Rodri’s ACL rupture, by signing an all-action midfielder. Fabrizio Romano claims that City and FC Porto have reached an agreement for Nico Gonzalez, which involves a £50million total package.
Gonzalez was always likely to command a hefty fee as his former club, Barcelona, will reportedly be due up to 40 per cent of it due to a sell-on clause they included in his move to Portugal.
The 23-year-old, who can play as a midfield anchor or as a box-to-box option, has scored five goals and laid on three assists in the league this term. He has also contributed to three goals in seven Europa League games.
In a shocking turn of events on deadline day, Manchester City have reportedly rejected Chelsea’s approach for one of their star players. However, sources close to the situation have revealed that City are open to striking an agreement with the London club under certain terms.According to reports, Chelsea made a last-minute bid for the player in question, but City swiftly turned down the offer. Despite this initial rejection, it is understood that City are willing to negotiate with Chelsea if certain conditions are met.
The terms laid out by City include a substantial transfer fee, as well as the inclusion of a player exchange or potential add-ons to sweeten the deal. It is believed that City are determined to get the best possible deal for their player and are open to discussions with Chelsea to reach a compromise.
As the deadline day drama unfolds, both clubs will be looking to reach an agreement that suits all parties involved. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.

Who Buckeyes, Ryan Day could tap to replace Chip Kelly
Ohio State offensive coordinator Chip Kelly left to call plays for the Las Vegas Raiders next season, resulting in a mammoth-sized hole for Ryan Day and the defending national champions on their coaching staff. Day now has to fill both coordinator spots and an offensive line vacancy coming off the historic run in the first year of the expanded College Football Playoff. He presumably has his pick of top candidates as one of the national title frontrunners in 2025.
Ohio State finished fourth in the Big Ten in total offense (429.4 yards per game) and No. 14 nationally in scoring offense (35.7 points per game) under Kelly. It was an improvement from the 407.9 YPG and 30.5 PPG the Buckeyes averaged in 2023. Ohio State averaged 36.3 points in four College Football Playoff games en route to the program’s first national championship since 2014.
Ohio State replaces Will Howard at quarterback along with both of its top rushers, but does return Jeremiah Smith, Carnell Tate and Brandon Inniss at wide receiver along with promising depth along the offensive line.

Here are some of the potential fits for the Buckeyes:
As Ryan Day looks to fill the vacancy left by Chip Kelly, there are a few talented individuals within the Buckeyes coaching staff that could be tapped for the position. Here are a few potential candidates:1. Kerry Coombs, Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator – Coombs has been a key member of the coaching staff for several years and has a strong track record of success. His experience and leadership could make him a top contender for the position.
2. Kevin Wilson, Offensive Coordinator – Wilson has a wealth of experience as an offensive coordinator and has helped lead the Buckeyes to some impressive offensive performances. His knowledge of the game and ability to develop players could make him a strong candidate for the role.
3. Tony Alford, Assistant Head Coach/Running Backs Coach – Alford has been instrumental in developing some of the top running backs in the country and has a strong reputation as a recruiter. His leadership skills and ability to connect with players could make him a strong candidate for the position.
While these are just a few potential candidates, there are many talented coaches within the Buckeyes program who could be considered for the role. It will be interesting to see who Ryan Day ultimately taps to replace Chip Kelly and lead the team to continued success.

#Buckeyes #Ryan #Day #tap #replace #Chip #Kelly“Deal Has Been Agreed” – Chelsea Star Pushing for Deadline Day Move to AC Milan
“Deal Has Been Agreed” – Chelsea Star Pushing for Deadline Day Move to AC Milan In a recent update from Sky Sports News, a striking development has surfaced in the world of football transfers. Joao Felix, the prodigious talent currently with Chelsea, is reported to be on the verge of a loan move to AC Milan. Here’s an in-depth analysis of the implications of this potential transfer and what it could mean for all parties involved.
Insights from Sky Sports News
According to Sky Sports News’ Kaveh Solhekol, Joao Felix is keen on a move and has set his sights on Milan as his next destination. Reports from Italy suggest Felix was present at the Milan derby last night, adding fuel to the speculation around his future. “Sky Italy are reporting that a deal has been agreed in principle for him to move on loan from Chelsea to Milan,” Solhekol revealed. Furthermore, an interesting twist in the tale is the involvement of Jorge Mendes, Felix’s agent, who also represents Milan’s manager, Sergio Conceicao. This connection might be playing a pivotal role in the negotiations.
Photo IMAGO Potential Impact on Milan
Should the move materialise, Milan would be securing the services of a versatile and highly skilled forward. Felix’s ability to play across the front line could offer Milan additional firepower, something they might need to bolster their attack for the remainder of the season. His flair and creativity could blend well with the tactical approaches of Conceicao, potentially reigniting the dynamism in Milan’s offensive play.
Chelsea’s Strategy
On the flip side, Chelsea’s decision to loan out Felix might raise some eyebrows among the fans. However, this could be a strategic move by the club to allow Felix more game time and experience in a different competitive environment, which could be beneficial for his development. It also suggests that Chelsea is possibly restructuring its squad or making room for new signings.
Broader Implications for European Football
This potential loan deal is not just a simple player transfer but could signify a shift in how top clubs manage their talented youngsters. By loaning Felix to Milan, Chelsea is utilising a strategic asset placement that could benefit both the player and the clubs involved. It highlights the intricate network of relationships in European football, where agents can influence significant moves.

As a Chelsea supporter, the news of Joao Felix potentially moving to Milan on loan is met with mixed emotions. On one hand, Felix’s lack of consistent starting opportunities at Chelsea has been frustrating. A player of his calibre deserves more minutes on the pitch to demonstrate his worth. Milan could offer him the stage he needs to flourish and prove his mettle.
On the other hand, his departure, even on a temporary basis, leaves Chelsea with one less attacking option. Given our current position and ambitions, depth is crucial, and Felix offers something different upfront. His potential blossoming at Milan could be a double-edged sword; while it would be a testament to Chelsea’s ability to nurture talent, it could also be a missed opportunity if he truly comes into his own away from Stamford Bridge.
Ultimately, if Felix thrives in Milan, it could either make Chelsea rue the decision to let him go temporarily or applaud the foresight in giving him the platform elsewhere. As fans, we will watch keenly, hoping his journey in Milan enhances his skills and brings him back to us a more seasoned and impactful player.
In conclusion, the possible loan of Joao Felix to Milan is a move loaded with potential ramifications for all the entities involved. It’s a testament to the intricate dance of player management in modern football, where career trajectories can be significantly influenced by strategic loans and the complex interplay between clubs and agents. As this saga unfolds, it will undoubtedly capture the attention of football fans around the globe, eager to see how it impacts the current dynamics at both Chelsea and Milan.
It has been reported that a deal has been agreed between Chelsea and AC Milan for the transfer of a star player on deadline day.The Chelsea star, who has been pushing for a move to AC Milan, is eager to make the switch to the Serie A club before the transfer window closes.
The player’s desire to move to AC Milan has been well known for some time now, and it seems that his wish is finally set to be granted.
Both clubs have reportedly reached an agreement on the transfer fee, and the player is now set to undergo a medical and finalize personal terms with AC Milan.
Fans of both clubs will be eagerly awaiting official confirmation of the deal, and it will certainly be an exciting end to the transfer window for all involved. Stay tuned for more updates as the deadline day drama unfolds.

Nico Gonzalez: Man City hopeful of completing Deadline Day signing of Porto midfielder | Football News
Manchester City are hopeful of concluding a Deadline Day deal for Porto midfielder Nico Gonzalez.
Talks were understood to be ongoing between the clubs on Monday over the transfer fee.
Sky Sports News previously reported City, who lost 5-1 to Arsenal on Sunday, do not want to meet the midfielder’s £50m release clause.
Gonzalez has been included in the Porto squad to face Rio Ave on Monday night.
Man City have already spent £130m in this transfer window, bringing in Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis.
City have been exploring their options in the market for a new No 6 with former Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz, one of a number of midfielders they have been looking into.
However, Gonzalez could now be on his way to the Etihad Stadium as City look to continue their January spending spree.
The 23-year-old joined Barcelona’s academy in 2013 and made 27 appearances for the club before joining Porto in a deal worth €8.5m in 2023.
One element to negations is the fact Barcelona would be due 40 per cent of any fee received by Porto for the midfielder.
The Portuguese side also have the option to purchase an additional 20 at any point, reducing Barca’s cut on a possible transfer to 20 per cent.
Merson: City panicking badly on Gonzalez
Sky Sports’ Paul Merson on Deadline Day:
“I’ve not seen this lad play so don’t know too much about him. But they need players in midfield. A lot of people say it’s not just Rodri. It is just Rodri.
“Rodri sees danger, Rodri is disciplined, Rodri stays in the centre, he gets forward and sits back and protects the backline as well, and he passes the ball through the line very quickly.
“I like Mateo Kovacic, but he will go over and dribble with the ball and people end up all out of position. He and Bernardo Silva get just ruined in the last 30 minutes at Arsenal.
“If you take away the 30 minutes and first 20, City were very good at Arsenal. It was a good away performance. But that takes away the first 20 minutes when they could have been out of the game, and the last 30 minutes – so it’s not much in between that.
“The issue is that Gonzalez comes in for £50m, as soon as Rodri’s fit, that’s it. I don’t think he plays. Unless you play them together and I don’t think you need to.
“This is the problem with wages and buying players, you forget that by the start of next season, this guy is sitting on the bench with big money. You then look at James McAtee with a brilliant young future and they will have to sell him for the fair play rules. It’s a knock-on effect. If they buy Gonzalez, they must be panicking badly to get into the top four.”
Sky Sports’ Tim Sherwood on Deadline Day:
“You can’t compare the Portuguese league with the Premier League. It’s a risk, especially in January.
“What exactly are City signing Gonzalez for? Unless you’re going to bring in someone who is better than what you’ve got and will beat Real Madrid in a Champions League play-off game, other than that they’ve got nothing else to play for.
“They can’t beat Real Madrid with the midfield they had yesterday. They have to find something different to that. But are they ever going to find someone good enough to do that in this transfer market? Absolutely not.
“Douglas Luiz would be the no-risk one because he knows the Premier League, but it looks like that is not going to get done. When everyone’s fit, Gonzalez isn’t going to play and they will ship him out again.”
Or is it a perfect fit for Man City?
European football expert Kevin Hatchard on Sky Sports News:
“It’s an absolute fit, he could do a really good job for them. Pep Guardiola has been an admirer of him for some time, City have been as well.
“He’s been linked with a move to City since he was a youth player so he’s a really interesting figure who has matured at Porto. He has made some forward steps there and could be a really good player.”
Statman Dave speaking on Sky Sports News:
“He fits in perfectly. He came in through the Barcelona youth academy and is tall. He does remind me a little bit of Rodri, there’s a likeness there in terms of his size and his command of the ball.
“Yes, there’s a lot of work to do with him but you think of getting another body in defensive midfield – City need that right now. We saw how bad their rest defence was against Arsenal. How many times were they caught three-on-two?
“He’s a player that can come in, play football the Guardiola way and evolve. You look at City’s window – two centre-backs, one of the best attackers in Europe in Omar Marmoush and a defensive midfielder.”
‘Negotiations tricky in City’s pursuit of Gonzalez’
Sky Sports News’ Ben Ransom at Man City’s training ground:
“He’s a player Man City really like.
“Midfield has been a problem for City this season in the absence of the injured Rodri, so Gonzalez fits the bill. He’s a player City have scouted extensively.
“Gonzalez’s dad, Fran, who was a player for Deportivo, has worked in City’s academy and City, when Nico was 14 and 16 tried to sign him twice.
“He has now impressed at Porto in the 18 months since his move from Barcelona.
“It’s the move from Barca that actually makes this move tricky because negotiations are revolving over the fee. The player has a £50m release clause and as it stands Porto want that paid in full.
“That’s due in part because Barcelona have a 40 per cent sell-on clause, so that would be quite a chunk on any potential fee.
“There’s also a second element to this deal where Porto can buy half of that fee from Barca for €6m. So, essentially, they can reduce that outlay to €18m IF City pay the full release clause.
“However, City are playing hardball. They don’t want to meet that valuation as things stand.
“This deal is a bit of a wait-and-see. One source has told me that if City do not meet the release clause the deal would be off and that would be their transfer window over.
“But this is transfer deadline day and we know money talks. The two clubs are talking so there could still be some movement.”
