SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Olivia Miles had 21 points and eight rebounds for No. 7 Notre Dame, and UConn star Azzi Fudd was injured in a collision with a teammate as the Fighting Irish handed the third-ranked Huskies their first loss of the season, 74-60 on Sunday.
Fudd, who came in averaging 24.0 points per game, exited in the final minute of the first quarter following a collision with teammate Aaliyah Edwards. She returned midway through the second period to play four minutes, but sat the rest of the day, going scoreless on two shots over 13 minutes.
Maddy Westbeld added a season-high 17 points and nine rebounds for Notre Dame (7-1), which bounced back from a 74-72 loss to No. 20 Maryland three days earlier.
Lou Lopez Senechal led UConn (6-1) with 21 points. Edwards added 14.
Led by Miles, the Irish roared to a 41-24 lead by intermission, outscoring the Huskies 30-11 over the final 11 minutes of the first half.
Miles scored 13 of Notre Dame’s 18 first-quarter points, going 6 of 7 from the field. Westbeld provided scoring punch after averaging 5.2 points over her last five outings.
The Irish ended a seven-game head-to-head losing streak against UConn in regular-season play, prevailing for the first time since a triple-overtime decision in March 2013.
The Huskies had also won 11 of the previous 13 meetings overall, although Notre Dame’s two wins during that stretch came in the Final Four in 2018 and 2019.
BIG PICTURE
UConn: The Huskies faced a top-10 opponent for the fourth time this season, this time in their first two road game. If Fudd's injury doesn't turn out to be serious, the Huskies ought to have a chance to do what they've done for decades: craft a resume that will make them a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Notre Dame: The Irish, coming back from their loss to at the buzzer to Maryland, showed that game may just be a blip on a promising season. Notre Dame matched last season’s win over No. 3 North Carolina State for the highest-ranked team it has beaten in its third year under coach Niele Ivey.
UP NEXT
UConn: The Huskies host Princeton on Thursday before facing their fifth ranked foe already when they visit No. 20 Maryland next Sunday.
Notre Dame: The Irish have a couple apparent mismatches coming up as they visit Lafayette (2-7) on Thursday and host Merrimack (1-6) on Saturday.

DALLAS (AP) — Frederick Gaudreau scored Minnesota’s third goal in the third shootout round as the Minnesota Wild won 6-5 on Sunday afternoon after owning a four-goal third-period lead.
Mats Zuccarello and Kirill Kaprizov also scored in the shootout for the Wild, who swept a back-to-back in shootouts to extend their winning streak to four games.
“This one feels good,” said Gaudreau, who’s 2 for 4 in shootout attempts this season. “We kept our calm.”
Roope Hintz notched his second career hat trick for the Stars, who earned points for the 10th time in their last 11 games. Jason Robertson and Joe Pavelski scored in the shootout for Dallas, but Hintz’s backhander rolled just short of the goal line across the crease.
Hintz’s final goal, with the extra skater on, tied the score 5-5 with 2:11 remaining in regulation.
“They (the Stars) pushed, we gave up the big lead,” Wild coach Dean Evason said. “But did we quit? Did we shut it down? Did we stop playing? No. They just kept going about their business.”
Minnesota used a three-goal burst within 2:50 of the second period to lead 4-1 and increased that to 5-1 29 seconds into the third period after Dallas goaltender Jake Oettinger was replaced by Scott Wedgewood.
Connor Dewar’s short-handed goal began the second-period flurry, followed by Jake Middleton and Jordan Greenway. Kaprizov and Joel Ericksson Ek also scored for the Wild.
Marc-Andre Fleury made 30 saves for the Wild.
Hintz also had an assist. Robertson had his NHL-best 23rd goal and an assist. Mason Marchment also had a goal and an assist for the Stars.
Oettinger, a Minnesota native, allowed four goals on 16 shots. Wedgewood made 14 saves in 20 minutes.
Dewar’s goal at 10:42 of the second period was the Wild’s league leading fifth short-handed goal and the first allowed by Dallas this season.
During a first period marked by three minor penalties called on each team, Kaprizov converted on the Wild’s third opportunity by flicking a wrister short side from the left circle over Oettinger’s right shoulder for a 1-0 Minnesota lead at 15:04.
Eriksson Ek scored 29 seconds into Wedgewood’s time on the ice on a deflection.
The Stars responded with three goals within 2:43 – Hintz’s second at 7:11 of the third, Robertson converting his own rebound at 7:50 and Marchment scoring from short range at 9:55.
Dallas tied the score 1-1 at 6:58 of the second period when Hintz tapped home the rebound after Fleury stopped Robertson’s backhander with his right skate.
“We knew if we got one, we were going to get more,” said Hintz, whose previous hat trick came in November 2021. “It’s good we got one point.”
“You’ve seen this with this group all year; I don’t think we’re ever out of a game,” Dallas coach Pete DeBoer said.
Ryan Reaves and Jared Spurgeon had two assists each for the Wild.
Joe Pavelski had three assists for Dallas.
Kaprizov has a career-best 12-game points streak (eight goals, 11 assists) and a six-game goal streak. The goal streak matches his own franchise record shared with Nino Niederreiter and Brian Rolston.
NOTES
The Wild are 3-1 in shootouts and 7-3 after regulation., Dallas is 0-2 and 0-6. … Robertson ha 41 points, third in the NHL. … Greenway and Oettinger were teammates at Boston University for two seasons. … Kaprizov’s ninth power play goal leaves him one behind league leader Leon Draisaitl of Edmonton. … Robertson’s points streak is one short of the league’s longest active streak, owned by Toronto’s Mitch Marner. … Dallas went in with the NHL’s No. 2 power play at 30.0% but went 0 for 4 and minus-1. … Fleury went into play with a 1.98 career goals against average vs. Dallas.
UP NEXT
Wild: play Wednesday at Calgary.
Stars: Hosting Toronto on Tuesday with Robertson’s Dallas-record 18-game points streak matched against Mitch Marner’s 19-game streak that’s currently the NHL’s longest.

PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — Rollie Worster scored 19 points, including the go-ahead free throws in overtime, Utah held Washington State to one point over a key stretch of the second half, and the Utes defeated the Cougars 67-65 in overtime on Sunday.
A dunk by TJ Bamba gave WSU a 58-52 lead with 2:56 remaining in regulation. The Cougars had trouble closing it out, getting only one free throw from Justin Powell for a 59-56 lead with 14 seconds remaining. With six seconds left, Utah's Marco Anthony scored in the paint, drew a foul and converted the free throw to send the game to overtime.
Washington State did not score again until Powell's 3-pointer with 2:07 remaining in overtime. His 3 drew the Cougars within 65-62 and they tied it at 65 when DJ Rodman made three free throws with 30 seconds left. Worster made two free throws for a 67-65 lead with 25 seconds left then WSU missed a couple of chances at the rim as time ran out.
Anthony had 13 points, Madsen 11, and Lazar Stefanovic 10 for the Utes.
Mouhamed Gueye had 20 points and 11 rebounds for Washington State. Bamba scored 14 and Powell, who made just 2 of 12 3-pointers, had 11.
The Cougars opened the second half with a 15-6 run and took a 40-39 lead on a 3-pointer by Bamba with 11:57 remaining in regulation. It was the Cougars' only 3 make in their first 11 attempts of the second half, unusual because Washington State is seventh in the country and first in the Pac-12 shooting 42.1% from beyond the arc. Washington State was 4 for 30 from distance.

Welcome to the first of Steyn's Seasonal Songs of the Week for this Yuletide season:
Some years ago, the late Mort Shuman, a marvelous composer and one of the first generation of rock'n'roll songwriters, took me to lunch. Mort had written "Why Must I Be A Teenager In Love?" and "Can't Get Used To Losing You" and a bunch of stuff for Elvis, including "Mess O' Blues", "Suspicion" and "Viva Las Vegas". But, like most successful music biz types, he wanted to talk about what he was doing next. So, after the usual pleasantries, he slid across the table a script bearing the title Save The Last Dance For Me - after his Number One hit for the Drifters.
"It's a musical," he said, "about the Cuban missile crisis."
Now I generally subscribe to Tim Rice's rule - that, if somebody says wow, what a great idea for a musical, it almost certainly isn't. But that doesn't mean the inverse applies - that, if something sounds like a terrible idea for a musical, it must be a surefire smash. So, when Mort said, "What do you think?", I was prepared to concede there might possibly be a great musical lurking somewhere in the Cuban missile crisis, but I was less persuaded that there was a great musical about the Cuban missile crisis set to all Mort's old pop hits of the period. "'Save The Last Dance For Me' doesn't address the Cuban missile crisis directly," explained Mort.
"That's true," I said.
"But it comments on it obliquely. I mean, it's literally the last dance. The last dance before the end of the world."
Hmm. "Suspicion" was also in the show, because it commented, equally obliquely, on the mutual suspicion between Kennedy and Krushchev or some such.
Well, Save The Last Dance For Me never happened. But, since then, I've seen at least two other putative scripts for Cuban missile-crisis musicals, both of which made me regret I hadn't been more enthusiastic about Mort's. After the hell of 2020, I miss old-school threats, like mushroom clouds on the far horizon (I doubt American nukes will ever again be dropped on anyone) and have come to admire the sly effectiveness of subtler threats. Either way, I am kinda sorta in a vague "last dance before the end of the world" mood - except, of course, that under Dr Fauci in America and Professor Pantsdown in the UK dancing is forbidden as zealously as it was by the Taliban.
Anyway, for now, the most successful musicalization of that moment in 1962 when the world trembled on the nuclear brink remains this:
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
'Do You Hear What I Hear?
Ringing through the sky shepherd boy
Do You Hear What I Hear?'
Do you hear echoes of the Cuban missile crisis in that? "Do You Hear What I Hear?" was co-written by Gloria Shayne, who wrote other songs which enjoyed some modest success - "Goodbye, Cruel World", "Rain, Rain, Go Away" and, for Andy Williams, "Almost There", one of those consummate MOR charmers that seemed like nothing at the time but which, in an era of bombastic overwrought power ballads, I rather miss. Still, nothing else in the Shayne catalogue will endure as long as her lasting contribution to the Christmas season - and we owe it all to the Cuban missile crisis:
Back in 1952, Gloria Shayne had been the pianist in the dining room of a New York hotel when a young man walked in, took one look at the gal at the keyboard, and went up and introduced himself. He was a Frenchman who spoke very little English, she was an American who spoke even less French. She liked pop music, he had come to America to be a classical musician. Yet within a month they were married. Flash forward ten years: Noël Regney's English has improved, and, although he still hasn't made his name in serious music, he's learned to appreciate American pop music since his wife hit the jackpot with "Goodbye, Cruel World". They even write songs together - usually with Noël writing the music, and Gloria the lyrics.
But not this time. Noël Regney had had a lively war. Born in Strasbourg, he'd been conscripted, after the German invasion, into the army of the Reich. And, although he soon deserted and joined the Resistance, he stayed in German uniform long enough to lead his platoon intentionally into the path of a group of French partisans, who wound up shooting him. After the liberation of his country, he went east to be the musical director of the Indochinese service of Radio France, and found himself in the middle of a new conflict. He thought the Second World War was so terrible that it must surely be the end of all war. But here it was - October 1962 - and as he saw it Washington and Moscow were playing a dangerous game of nuclear brinksmanship over Soviet missiles in Cuba. On the streets of Manhattan, he saw two infants in strollers being wheeled by their mothers along the sidewalk, and decided he wanted to write something for them. Not music, but words: A poem.He remembered scenes from his own childhood - sheep grazing in the pasture of the beautiful campagne - and he had the image he needed:
Said the wind to the little lamb,
'Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite.'
He wrote a tune to go with it, too, but he decided it wasn't right, and turned to his wife. "When he finished," said Gloria, "Noël gave it to me and asked me to write the music. He said he wanted me to do it because he didn't want the song to be too classical. I read over the lyrics, then went shopping. I was going to Bloomingdale's when I thought of the first music line."
It was only when she got home and played the tune for her husband that she realized she'd made a mistake, and had added one note more to that first line than the lyric required. But Noel loved the melody and didn't want her to change a thing. So he went back to his poem and added a syllable for the spare note:
Said the night wind to the little lamb...
Gloria asked for one other text change: "A tail as big as a kite" didn't sound right to her ears: somehow it wasn't quite American English. But Noël put his foot down on that one: those words were staying, just as they were. "He was right," she later told Yuletide musical archivist Ace Collins. "It is a line that people dearly love." It's perhaps the most vivid and memorable in the song, and a good example of how a phrase you might have no use for as a piece of speech can be transformed by music. The star dancing in the night with a tail as big as a kite is a rare moment of poetic imagery in a lyric that's otherwise baldly descriptive. It's slightly off-kilter - a tail as long as a kite, surely? - but "big" makes it more childlike and wondering.
The simple structure of the song is very effective - four verses, passing the story from the night wind to the little lamb, the little lamb to the shepherd boy, the shepherd boy to the mighty king, and finally the mighty king to the people. The repetition of "a star, a star/Dancing in the night" is matched by "a song, a song/High above the trees", and "a child, a child/Shivers in the cold..." And at the end Noël Regney finally spelled out what was on his mind in that fall of 1962:
Said the king to the people everywhere,
'Listen to what I say!
Pray for peace, people everywhere
Listen to what I say!
The child, the child
Sleeping in the night,
He will bring us goodness and light.
M and Mme Regney took their song to the Regency publishing company, and Regency immediately got hold of Harry Simeone. You can understand why. The Harry Simeone Chorale had had a huge hit four years earlier with "The Little Drummer Boy", and to a casual listener "Do You Hear What I Hear?" can easily sound like "The Little Drummer Boy" sideways. Both tunes share a kind of simplistic formality, and the words of the later song echo the first: "Do You Hear?" reprises "Drummer Boy"'s king and baby (actually, in the first song, the king is the baby) and one half of "the ox and lamb", and the little shepherd boy is clearly a kindred spirit of the little drummer boy. So the Simeone Chorale recorded it, put it out for Thanksgiving 1962, and sold a quarter-million copies in its first week:
There were stories in the papers about drivers hearing it on the radio and pulling over on to the shoulder to listen to the lyrics. Regney and Shayne had written a song so powerful they couldn't even get through it themselves without dissolving into tears. "We couldn't sing it," said Gloria. "Our little song broke us up. You must realize there was a threat of nuclear war at the time."
But threats of nuclear war come and go; a good song is forever. What turned "Do You Hear What I Hear?" from a peace anthem to a seasonal standard was a recording the following year by Mister White Christmas himself, Bing Crosby. Bing's warm dramatic baritone drew out the words in ways that the 25 voices of the Harry Simeone Chorale simply couldn't. When I see these lyrics on paper, my mind's ear hears them in Crosby's voice:
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
'Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know?
A child, a child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold...'
Bing's version sold a million copies, and the song never looked back. Noël Regney went on to write the signature song of the Singing Nun, "Dominique", an international smash in whose success the Kennedy Administration again played a part. Following the assassination of the President in 1963, Top 40 radio stations anxious to return to their regular preformat opted to play softer songs rather than the hard rockers, and "Dominique", a bland bit of bouncy Europop, happened to be one of the softest things on hand, and all the better for having a non-English lyric. It helped make "Dominique" the first Belgian single to get to Number One in America:
The Singing Nun's career dissolved in odes to contraception, tax problems, lesbianism and eventually suicide: She and her partner of ten years concluded that they could not pay the Belgian revenue authorities what they were demanding, and both women killed themselves - on the very day that, unbeknown to them, the Belgian songwriters' agency sent her a royalty check that would have more than covered what she owed the government. It is difficult to imagine circumstances in which "Dominique" would ever again become a popular song.
But "Do You Hear What I Hear?" gets bigger every year. It's especially popular with emoting ladies - Gladys Knight, Céline Dion, Vanessa Williams, Martina McBride, and many other melisma queens. Indeed, in recent years it seems to have become something of a woman's song, which I regret if only because I think it sounds better in a slightly formal male baritone than in a pseudo-soulful ululatory pile-up that reduces the crisp, spare Regney lyric to rubble. As for the authors' own favorite version, they were never in any doubt about that: "When Robert Goulet came to the line 'Pray for peace, people everywhere', he almost shouted those words out," said Gloria Shayne. "It was so powerful." A little too much aimless backphrasing for my taste, but chacun à son goût:
"I am amazed that people can think they know the song," said Noël Regney, "and not know it is a prayer for peace." Ah, but most great popular art wiggles free of its creator. And so many if not most of those singing along to "Do You Hear What I Hear?" will have no idea that it has anything to do with some ancient flash point of the Cold War. Which is as it should be. Noël Regney and Gloria Shayne eventually divorced. The man who wrote those powerful words was hit by a stroke and ended his days unable to speak. The woman who wrote that melody was struck by cancer and unable to play the piano. But their song lives on, with a tail stretching across the decades:
Said the night wind to the little lamb,
'Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite.'
Noël Regney: the first Noël to write an American Christmas classic, even if it took the Cuban missile crisis to inspire him.

Florida deputy shot, killed by roommate who is also an officer: Brevard County Sheriff
BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. - The Brevard County Sheriff's Office has released more details into the death of 23-year-old Deputy Austin Walsh who was accidentally shot and killed in an "off-duty incident."
The Sheriff's office said Deputy Walsh was shot and killed by his roommate, who is also a Brevard County deputy. The shooting happened in Palm Bay early Saturday when the Palm Bay Police Department received a 911 call from the off-duty deputy who reportedly fatally shot Walsh.
When officers arrived, they were met by Walsh's roommate who was reportedly "distraught." Officers said Walsh succumbed immediately to his injuries after being shot once.
According to Walsh's roommate, the two had taken a break from playing an online video game and were standing around talking. Walsh's roommate said he was holding a handgun which he believed he had unloaded.
The roommate told officers that at one point during the conversation, he jokingly pointed the gun in Walsh's direction and pulled the trigger, the sheriff's office said.
"Austin and Andrew were the best of friends and Andrew is completely devastated over what happened, said Sheriff Ivey. "Even with that, there's no excuse for this tragic, avoidable death."
Deputy Andrew was taken into custody for manslaughter and transported to the Brevard County Jail.
Sheriff Wayne Ivey called the incident a "reckless" accident

Soccer-Brazil's Vinicius Jr looking to terminate Nike deal, report says
Brazil's Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr is trying to terminate his sponsorship agreement with Nike Inc, website UOL reported on Sunday, saying the player feels he has been getting unfair treatment from the U.S.-based company.
Brazil's Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr is trying to terminate his sponsorship agreement with Nike Inc, website UOL reported on Sunday, saying the player feels he has been getting unfair treatment from the U.S.-based company. Vinicius Jr, who is currently with the national team at the Qatar World Cup, has contacted lawyers to seek litigation aimed at ending the deal that runs until 2028, the report said.
Nike did not immediately respond to requests for comment outside business hours. The 22-year-old Vinicisu Jr has been one of Nike's biggest assets in Brazil, who are also sponsored by the U.S. sportswear maker, after the company terminated its endorsement deal with Neymar in 2021.

British government looks at pension rules to retain health workers
The governing Conservative Party has long promised to sort out a health service which has struggled to recover after being stretched to its limits during the COVID-19 pandemic and now faces strikes by thousands of nurses and ambulance workers. "The generous NHS Pension Scheme is one of the best in the country, but it's not working as it should for everyone," health minister Steve Barclay said in a statement.
- Country:
- United Kingdom
Britain's government is launching a consultation into how to amend pension rules for workers in the National Health Service to help retain more staff, at a time when the sector faces strikes over pay this month that could halt some procedures. The governing Conservative Party has long promised to sort out a health service which has struggled to recover after being stretched to its limits during the COVID-19 pandemic and now faces strikes by thousands of nurses and ambulance workers.
"The generous NHS Pension Scheme is one of the best in the country, but it's not working as it should for everyone," health minister Steve Barclay said in a statement. "We need a system where our most experienced clinicians don't feel they have to reduce their workload or take early retirement because of financial worries. I also want to make it easier for staff that want to return to work to support the NHS to be able to do so without penalties."
To provide more flexibility, the proposals will include allowing retired and partially retired staff to return to work or increase their working hours without having payments to their pension reduced or suspended. That would allow staff to claim a portion or all of their pension benefits but continue working and contributing to their pension. The proposals are also aimed at fixing the unintended impacts of inflation, so senior clinicians are not taxed more than is necessary, the health ministry said in its statement.
The consultation will be open for eight weeks, with the reforms expected to be implemented in 2023. On Sunday, Conservative chairman Nadhim Zahawi said the government was looking to bring in the military to help maintain services if strikes by NHS staff go ahead, urging health workers to reconsider their plans for industrial action.

Reuters World News Summary
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow had made preparations for Friday's price cap announcement by the Group of Seven nations, the European Union and Australia, the Russian state news agency TASS reported. Thousands of Congolese churchgoers join nationwide marches against eastern violence Tens of thousands of Christians took to the streets across Democratic Republic of Congo on Sunday to protest violence in eastern regions, as church leaders accused the international community of hypocrisy over Rwanda's alleged role in the fighting.
Following is a summary of current world news briefs.
Analysis-Saudi prince seeks Mideast leadership, independence with Xi's visit
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman hosts China's leader this week at a delicate moment in U.S.-Saudi ties, signalling Riyadh's resolve to navigate a polarised global order regardless of the wishes of its Western allies, analysts said. The ruler of the oil giant has made a comeback on the world stage following the 2018 murder of Jamal Khashoggi, which cast a pall over Saudi-U.S. ties, and has been defiant in the face of U.S. ire over the kingdom's energy policy and pressure from Washington to help isolate Russia.
Russia says it won't accept oil price cap and is preparing response
Russia "will not accept" a price cap on its oil and is analysing how to respond, the Kremlin said in comments reported on Saturday, in response to a deal by Western powers aimed at limiting a key source of funding for its war in Ukraine. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow had made preparations for Friday's price cap announcement by the Group of Seven nations, the European Union and Australia, the Russian state news agency TASS reported.
Thousands of Congolese churchgoers join nationwide marches against eastern violence
Tens of thousands of Christians took to the streets across Democratic Republic of Congo on Sunday to protest violence in eastern regions, as church leaders accused the international community of hypocrisy over Rwanda's alleged role in the fighting. After Sunday services, churchgoers in the capital Kinshasa and other major cities heeded a call from the conference of Catholic bishops to march against the conflict with the M23 rebel group, which Congo accuses Rwanda of supporting.
Iran protesters call for strike, prosecutor says morality police shut down
Protesters in Iran called on Sunday for a three-day strike this week, stepping up pressure on authorities after the public prosecutor said the morality police whose detention of a young woman triggered months of protests had been shut down. There was no confirmation of the closure from the Interior Ministry which is in charge of the morality police, and Iranian state media said Public Prosecutor Mohammad Jafar Montazeri was not responsible for overseeing the force.
China's Xi unwilling to accept vaccines despite threat from protests, U.S. official says
Chinese leader Xi Jinping is unwilling to accept Western vaccines despite the challenges China is facing with COVID-19, and while recent protests there are not a threat to Communist Party rule, they could affect his personal standing, U.S. Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines said on Saturday.
Although China's daily COVID cases are near all-time highs, some cities are taking steps to loosen testing and quarantine rules after Xi's zero-COVID policy triggered a sharp economic slowdown and public unrest.
Right-winger Ciotti wins 1st round of French conservative party leadership vote

Chinese cities ease curbs but full zero-COVID exit seen some way off
More Chinese cities including Urumqi in the far west announced an easing of coronavirus curbs on Sunday as China tries to make its zero-COVID policy more targeted and less onerous after unprecedented protests against restrictions last weekend. Urumqi, the capital of the Xinjiang region and where the protests first erupted, will reopen malls, markets, restaurants and other venues from Monday, authorities said, ending strict lockdowns after months.
Ghana to swap domestic debt in fight to regain economic stability
Ghana will launch a domestic debt exchange on Monday, its Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta said, expressing confidence that the move would help restore macroeconomic stability and end the West African country's worst economic crisis in a generation.

G7 price cap on Russian oil kicks in, Russia will only sell at market price
The Group of Seven price cap on Russian seaborne oil came into force on Monday as the West tries to limit Moscow's ability to finance its war in Ukraine, but Russia has said it will not abide by the measure even if it has to cut production. The price cap, to be enforced by the G7, the European Union and Australia, comes on top of the EU's embargo on imports of Russian crude by sea and similar pledges by the United States, Canada, Japan and Britain.
The Group of Seven price cap on Russian seaborne oil came into force on Monday as the West tries to limit Moscow's ability to finance its war in Ukraine, but Russia has said it will not abide by the measure even if it has to cut production.
The price cap, to be enforced by the G7, the European Union and Australia, comes on top of the EU's embargo on imports of Russian crude by sea and similar pledges by the United States, Canada, Japan and Britain. It allows Russian oil to be shipped to third-party countries using G7 and EU tankers, insurance companies and credit institutions, only if the cargo is bought at or below the price cap.
Because the world's key shipping and insurance firms are based in G7 countries, the cap could make it difficult for Moscow to sell its oil for a higher price. Russia, the world's second-largest oil exporter, said on Sunday it would not accept the cap and would not sell oil that is subject to it, even if it has to cut production.
Selling oil and gas to Europe has been one of the main sources of Russian foreign currency earnings since Soviet geologists found oil and gas in the swamps of Siberia in the decades after World War Two. A source who asked not to be identified due to the sensitivity of the situation told Reuters that a decree was being prepared to prohibit Russian companies and traders from interacting with countries and companies guided by the cap.
In essence, such a decree would ban the export of oil and petroleum products to countries and companies that apply it. Still, with the price cap set at $60 per barrel, not much below the $67 level where it closed on Friday
The level of the cap is to be reviewed by the EU and the G7 every two months, with the first such review in mid-January. "This review should take into account ... the effectiveness of the measure, its implementation, international adherence and alignment, the potential impact on coalition members and partners, and market developments," the European Commission said in a statement.
The cap on crude will be followed by a similar measure affecting Russian petroleum products that will come into force on Feb. 5, though the level of that cap has not yet been determined.

FACTBOX-G7 price cap on Russian seaborne crude oil - main elements
PENALTIES If a third party country-flagged vessel intentionally carries Russian oil above the price cap, EU operators will be prohibited from insuring, financing and servicing this vessel for 90 days after the cargo has been unloaded.
The Group of Seven nations, Australia and the 27 European Union countries imposed on Dec. 5 a price cap on Russian crude oil transported by ships, aiming to reduce Moscow's ability to finance its war in Ukraine and preserve stability on the global oil market. The price cap comes on top of an EU embargo on buying seaborne Russian crude oil as a measure aimed mainly at providing third-party countries with an option to still buy it if the transaction is at or below the price cap level.
Below are the main elements of how the price cap is supposed to work: PRICE CAP LEVEL
The price cap was set at $60 per barrel. ADJUSTING THE PRICE CAP
The level will be reviewed every two months, starting in mid-January, to make sure it stays at least 5% below the average price for Russian crude as determined by the International Energy Agency. Each change in the cap will be unanimously agreed by all 27 countries of the European Union and then by the G7. After each change of the cap there will be a 90-day grace period to make sure no ship is caught at sea with a cargo at a price that is no longer valid.
WHAT IS PROHIBITED G7 and European Union insurance and reinsurance companies that provide services for tankers carrying Russian crude oil, as well as institutions financing Russian crude transactions, will not be allowed to handle such cargoes unless the oil is bought at or below the price cap.
Shipping companies will not be allowed to provide tankers for the transport of Russian crude unless the oil is sold at or below the $60 price cap. WHAT IS ALLOWED
Providing financial and shipping services for Russian crude oil is allowed if it is bought at or below the price cap as well as in an emergency. Specific projects which are essential for the energy security of certain third-party countries may be exempted from the price cap. ENTRY INTO FORCE
The price cap enters into force on Dec. 5, but there is a 45-day transition period allowing ships that were loaded before that date to carry their cargo and unload by Jan. 19 without any consequences. PENALTIES
If a third party country-flagged vessel intentionally carries Russian oil above the price cap, EU operators will be prohibited from insuring, financing and servicing this vessel for 90 days after the cargo has been unloaded. EU flagged vessels will be subject to penalties according to national legislation, but the EU is already working on a penalty of 5% of global turnover for companies that break EU sanctions.

MOSCOW (AP) — About 2,500 seals have been found dead on the Caspian Sea coast in southern Russia, officials said Sunday.
Authorities in the Russian province of Dagestan said it was unclear why the mass die-off happened but that it was likely due to natural causes.
Regional officials initially reported Saturday that 700 dead seals were found on the coast, but the Dagestan division of the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment later raised the figure to about 2,500.
Zaur Gapizov, head of the Caspian Environmental Protection Center, said in a statement that the seals likely died a couple of weeks ago. He added that there was no sign that they were killed or caught in fishing nets.
Experts of the Federal Fisheries Agency and prosecutors inspected the coastline and collected data for laboratory research, which didn’t immediately spot any pollutants.
Several previous incidents of mass seal deaths were attributed to natural causes. Kazakhstan, which has a long Caspian coastline, reported at least three such incidents this year.
Data about the number of seals in the Caspian vary widely. The fisheries agency has said the overall number of Caspian seals is 270,000-300,000, while the Caspian Environmental Protection Center put the number at 70,000.

CARTHAGE, N.C. (AP) — Two power substations in a North Carolina county were damaged by gunfire in what is being investigated as a criminal act, causing damage that could take days to repair and leaving tens of thousands of people without electricity, authorities said Sunday.
In response to ongoing outages, which began just after 7 p.m. Saturday across Moore County, officials announced a state of emergency that included a curfew from 9 p.m. Sunday to 5 a.m. Monday. Also, county schools will be closed Monday.
“An attack like this on critical infrastructure is a serious, intentional crime and I expect state and federal authorities to thoroughly investigate and bring those responsible to justice,” Gov. Roy Cooper wrote on Twitter.
Moore County Sheriff Ronnie Fields said at a Sunday news conference that authorities have not determined a motivation. He said someone pulled up and “opened fire on the substation, the same thing with the other one.”
“No group has stepped up to acknowledge or accept that they're the ones that done it,” Fields said, adding “we're looking at all avenues.”
The sheriff noted that the FBI was working with state investigators to determine who was responsible. He also said “it was targeted.”
“It wasn't random,” Fields said.
Fields said law enforcement is providing security at the substations and for businesses overnight.
“We will have folks out there tonight around the clock,” Fields said.
More than 41,000 electric customers in the county remained without power on Sunday afternoon, according to poweroutage.us.
With cold temperatures forecast for Sunday night, the county also opened a shelter at a sports complex in Carthage.
Duke Energy spokesman Jeff Brooks said multiple pieces of equipment were damaged and will have to be replaced. He said while the company is trying to restore power as quickly as possible, he braced customers for the potential of outages lasting days.
“We are looking at a pretty sophisticated repair with some fairly large equipment and so we do want citizens of the town to be prepared that this will be a multiday restoration for most customers, extending potentially as long as Thursday," Brooks said at the news conference.
Dr. Tim Locklear, the county's school superintendent, announced classes will be canceled Monday.
“As we move forward, we'll be taking it day by day in making those decisions,” Locklear said.
The Pilot newspaper in Southern Pines reported that one of its journalists saw a gate to one of the substations had been damaged and was lying in an access road.
“A pole holding up the gate had clearly been snapped off where it meets the ground. The substation’s infrastructure was heavily damaged,” the newspaper reported.
The county of approximately 100,000 people lies about an hour's drive southwest of Raleigh and is known for golf resorts in Pinehurst and other communities.

There is a new house feeling that cannot be replicated in a home that has had previous owners. Here, the carpet is fluffed, the grout is pure white and the home awaits memories to be made. At 3001 Inwood Drive, the finishes and floor plan are a step above the normal new-build home. After all, the River Oaks mansion designed by Robert Dame has 13,630 square feet waiting for memories—and that's only in the main house.
The primary suite is on the first floor, while five guest bedrooms are on the second. A wing of the home contains a guest apartment with an exercise room and game room providing a buffer of privacy between it and the rest of the home. The home's design combines traditionalist elements, such as the wood paneling in the library, with contemporary features such as black-framed windows and wood beams.
Whether hosting friends or helping with homework, the spacious kitchen's oversized U-shaped island is ideal for conversation. The slab stone countertops and white oak floors add a timelessness element to the modern kitchen.
A practical— and beautiful—butler's pantry connects four of the most important rooms in the home: the kitchen, wet bar, dining room and wine room. The future homeowner should love entertaining to take full advantage of the amenities.
Massive steel and glass doors slide open between the adjacent breakfast area and the loggia with its outdoor kitchen. The backyard is a destination with lush turf surrounding a pool and spa. Tiled sections are scattered around the pool to allow for spots to gather or just to bask in the sun.
The home is listed by Walter Bering of Sotheby's International Realty.

Georgia, Michigan, TCU and Ohio State were chosen Sunday to play in the College Football Playoff, giving the Big Ten multiple teams in the four-team field for the first time.
The defending national champion and top-ranked Bulldogs and fourth-seeded Buckeyes will meet Dec. 31 at the Peach Bowl in Atlanta. The second-seeded Wolverines and third-ranked Horned Frogs, the lone first-timer in the final four, will play at the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona, the same day.
The national championship game is scheduled for Jan. 9 at Sofi Stadium in Inglewood, California, and it could be a rematch of rivals Ohio State and Michigan in what will soon be Big Ten country as the conference expands.
The rivalry dates to 1902, but the Buckeyes and Wolverines have never played outside of their annual regular-season game.
With some drama, but not much controversy, the CFP selection committee's top four fell into place over the championship weekend. The most interesting part of the unveiling was whether the committee would pair Michigan and Ohio State in the semifinals and if Alabama might be able to slip in as the first two-loss playoff team.
In the end, the committee sprung no surprises.
Committee chairman Boo Corrigan, the athletic director at North Carolina State, said Ohio State's big wins against Penn State and Notre Dame helped push the Buckeyes in over Alabama.
“As we looked at the total body of work, the committee was comfortable with Ohio State State at No. 4 and Alabama at 5,” he said in an interview with ESPN.
Corrigan also said the committee did not make any special effort to avoid having a rematch of Ohio State and Michigan in a semifinal.
Georgia (13-0) won the Southeastern Conference championship game in a rout and coach Michigan (13-0) similar took the the Big Ten title.
TCU (12-1) suffered is first loss of the season in the Big 12 championship, falling in overtime to Kansas State. The loss made it an uneasy night for Heisman Trophy contender Max Duggan and the Horned Frogs, but in the end they had already built enough equity during their improbable season to stay in the top four.
At a watch party for TCU players and staffers at its Forth Worth, Texas, campus, cheers broke out when the Frogs landed in the bracket during ESPN's announcement show.
Ohio State (11-1) was given a second life in the playoff race when Southern California lost the Pac-12 championship game Friday night. A week after star quarterback C.J. Stroud and the Buckeyes lost at home to coach Jim Harbaugh and Michigan, they slipped into the final playoff spot, the best of a flawed batch of contenders.
Alabama (10-2) was fifth in the committee rankings, missing the CFP for just the second time in its nine-year history. The Crimson Tide, with a little lobbying from coach Nick Saban, were hoping to become the first team to lose two games and make the playoff.
The committee instead simply moved Ohio State from fifth last week to fourth this week, setting up just the second matchup ever between the Bulldogs and Buckeyes. The only time Georgia and Ohio State have played was in the 1992 Citrus Bowl, a Buckeyes' victory.
“They got a lot of really great players because we recruit a lot of the same kids,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said.
For Georgia, it is the second straight CFP appearance and third overall. This time, though, Smart's Bulldogs enter as the No. 1 team and clear favorite after following up last season's national title with a perfect season.
Stetson Bennett and the 'Dawgs will try to become the first team to repeat as College Football Playoff champions.
Ohio State is making its fifth playoff appearance. The last time the Buckeyes were the fourth seed was 2014, when they won their last national title.
Michigan is in for the second time, again as the second seed after losing to Georgia in the Orange Bowl last season.
TCU becomes just the 13th different school make the field in nine years. That lack of variety is one of the main reasons the CFP will be expanding to 12 teams in the 2024 season.
The Horned Frogs, whose only national title came in 1938, have never played Michigan.

An emerging Houston sports celebrity was on hand to help energize the NRG Stadium crowd prior to Sunday's game between the Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns.
Houston Astros shortstop and 2022 World Series MVP Jeremy Peña was front and center for the pregame festivities, leading a "Houston Texans" chant while banging the battle drum just before kickoff. A raucous ovation was evoked from those in attendance when the star rookie was introduced, something that's become a rare occurrence at NRG Stadium amid the Texans' dismal play in recent years.
Unfortunately for the Texans, Peña's presence didn't bring good luck their way—at least immediately. Houston quarterback Kyle Allen was intercepted on the first play from scrimmage, though the Texans did score the game's first points on a field goal later in the first quarter.
Sunday's appearance at NRG Stadium was just the latest instance of Peña's quick rise to becoming one of the city's most beloved modern-day athletes. Cars lined up in droves to watch him serve food at a Raising Cane's drive-thru last month, and he's also been fitted for a grill by iconic Houston jeweler Johnny Dang. This followed a massive and emotional response to Peña at the Astros' World Series victory parade, during which he drew louder cheers than arguably any player on the team.
Peña became the first rookie position player to be named the World Series MVP following Houston's Game 6 win over the Philadelphia Phillies, and was the first rookie shortstop to earn championship MVP honors for his performance in an ALCS sweep of the New York Yankees.
As he prepares for his second year in the big leagues, Peña also provided his thoughts on the Astros' recent offseason moves and other topics.
