The pilot program, which began Wednesday and will be analyzed by researchers at the University of Helsinki, is expected to deliver results in about ten seconds, screening for positive coronavirus cases in less than a minute per person. Tests will be conducted on arriving passengers, particularly those from abroad, and are conducted on a voluntary basis. Subjects don’t have direct contact with the dogs, but instead use a wipe on the skin of their neck, which is brought to the dog in a separate booth....

The 36-year-old, who until recently was the world’s youngest PM, has made no secret of enjoying going to clubs and music festivals, admitted the picture is “not appropriate.” “I’m a person, a real person also, even though I’m a prime minister,” she said. “So, I won’t change the way I behave. Of course, I have to be careful…because it can be represented as the whole government. But I’m still a person....

Lamb was part of a contingent that tried twice to rescue an assault team of about 80 rangers and a dozen or more Delta Force counter-terrorist commandos. They had launched a simple but daring operation to nab key aides of Somali warlord Gen. Mohammed Farah Aidid. The mission went awry and turned into a skirmish from hell, exacting an appalling toll on U.S. troops: 17 dead, 77 wounded, 1 missing and 1 in captivity, Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant, a pilot....

In fact, Israel was retaliating against Islamic fighters who have been stepping up ambushes in the “security zone” Israel still holds in Lebanon and launching Katyusha rockets into Israel itself. But this time Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin picked a punishingly hardhearted new strategy. His fighters, jets, helicopters, ships and artillery turned Lebanon’s Shiite Muslim heartland into a free-fire zone, deliberately pushing hundreds of thousands of people north toward Beirut....

Meg Hayes shared the footage of her using a special tool to deliberately create fires in a California woodland on TikTok on June 23. Since then, the post has gained over 1.4 million views. In the clip, Hayes can be seen driving along in a vehicle, using what looks like a paintball gun to shoot at the trees. The tool is actually called a PyroShot, which is used to create the controlled fires that are sometimes necessary to improve land for a variety of reasons....

Love him or hate him, America, he did it: Urban Meyer has built a sleek, sophisticated SEC team in the middle of the boring Big Ten. What better way to show off that fancy new Ohio State machine than doing what no one could imagine. Like winning the whole damn thing. “Before I left, I saw them,” Meyer said of his Ohio State team while speaking at last week’s College Football Playoff press conference in Orlando....

Newsweek talks to Edwards about the need for more diversity in travel, exploring the world in the time of COVID, her wildest moments filming and the responsibility that comes with leading the path for the other “Most Interesting Women in the World” today. You’ve been called “The Most Interesting Woman in the World,” by Outside magazine. That’s quite a title. How did you feel getting that title? And what do you think makes an interesting woman today?...

The NWS is calling the December 15 storms historic. Bill Bunting, chief of forecast operations for the NWS Storm Prediction Center, said the storms caused by a serial derecho produced 45 confirmed tornadoes. At least 12 tornadoes were EF-2. A derecho is characterized as an inland hurricane with straight-line winds, no eye, creating widespread damage of more than 240 miles and wind gusts of at least 58 mph. States in the Midwest reported unusually warm temperatures for the season the day of the storm....

It worked too, as the ball clearly crossed the plane of the end zone. Unfortunately the refs didn’t see it that way. Look at it again. Then again, are his knees down? Notre Dame would go on to win the game 31-28 thanks to a 32-yard field goal by Kyle Brindza with less than four seconds left. LSU really could have used those six points.

Though the First Lady keeps a full schedule promoting her signature issues–education and literacy–she prefers to maintain a low profile, leaving her husband at the United Nations while she slips out for a private dress fitting with designer Carolina Hererra. But when prodded onto the world stage, Mrs. Bush revealed deft political skills. She strongly defended the U.S.-led war in Iraq before a multinational audience in Paris and advocated the “freedom to write and read what we want” at a book festival in Moscow....

Alli FGS v Bournemouth - now 9/2 It is the first time that Rose has appeared in full training since a controversial close-season in which he criticised Spurs’ transfer policy and claimed to be underpaid – comments that resulted in a club fine....

Fitzpatrick was signed to a two-year, $7.5 million contract in March after spending one season as the Tennessee Titans backup. The Harvard product had been the Buffalo Bills' top signal-caller for the four seasons prior. The 31-year-old is by far the most experienced option on the Texans' roster. It was surprising, after they added Fitzpatrick and subtracted Matt Schaub in free agency, that the Texans waited until the fourth round to take Savage, more of a developmental project, out of Pittsburgh....

Up now: the AL East. MORE: Five big questions in the NL East How big of an issue will vaccination status be for the Yankees? At the moment, it seems like a pretty big deal.

It’s not that they’ll have to miss 70 games, it’s that they’re only eligible to play in 70 games....

The Crimson Tide had no points entering halftime, trailing 13-0 before Nick Saban decided to put true freshman Tua Tagovailoa in at quarterback over incumbent starter Jalen Hurts. Tagovailoa made the difference in the game, stepping in to throw three touchdowns and lead all of Alabama’s scoring drives.

The jarring spectacle has dominated all discourse surrounding the awards this year and it’s safe to say has pretty much overshadowed everything else that went down—so here are five of the moments from the Oscars 2022 that you may have missed. Belfast Kenneth Branagh won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for his film Belfast and used his speech to honor those “facing violence and terror.” “We will never forget all of those lost in the heartbreaking, heartwarming, human story of that amazing city of Belfast on the fabulous island of Ireland,” he said in a moving speech....

As Russia continues to face staggering losses and military setbacks, Putin has raised the stakes in the war that began after he launched a full-scale invasion on February 24. He announced a partial mobilization on September 21 to enlist 300,000 reservist troops and formally annexed four partially occupied regions of Ukraine following referendums that have been condemned by the international community as illegal. He has also bombarded Ukraine this month with targeted missile strikes on energy infrastructure....
