Bukayo Saka's double fired Arsenal a step closer to the Champions League last 16 as the England forward inspired a 3-0 win against Monaco on Wednesday. Saka netted late in each half and Kai Havertz struck in the closing minutes at the Emirates Stadium to lift Mikel Arteta's side into third place in the revamped league phase. The Gunners have won four of their six European games this term and, with two matches remaining, they control their destiny in the race for the top-eight finish that guarantees automatic progress to the last 16. Clubs that finish ninth to 24th in the 36-team first phase face a play-off to determine if they will advance. With games against Dinamo Zagreb and Girona to come in January, the north Londoners will be confident of avoiding that unwanted obstacle. After a damaging 1-1 draw against Fulham in the Premier League last weekend, Arsenal's fifth win in their last six games in all competitions was a welcome tonic. With Arsenal's defensive injury crisis showing no signs of abating, Gabriel Magalhaes, Ben White, Riccardo Calafiori, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu were all absent. That meant Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey started out of position at right-back despite missing training on Tuesday. Myles Lewis-Skelly, 18, came in at left-back for just his second Arsenal start, with his other coming in the League Cup against third-tier Bolton. The youngest player to start a Champions League match for Arsenal since Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in 2011, Lewis-Skelly rose to the occasion with a composed display. In contrast, Gabriel Jesus has gone 32 games without a goal for Arsenal and the Brazilian's lack of confidence was clear in the hosts' first dangerous attack. Picked out by Gabriel Martinelli's pass, Jesus should have hit the target but could only muster a tame shot straight at Monaco keeper Radoslaw Majecki. Jesus failed to time his run well enough to reach Mikel Merino's teasing cross moments later. Saka sparkles Aleksandr Golovin nearly caught out Arsenal keeper David Raya with a long-range strike that fizzed just past the far post. Jesus' travails showed no signs of ending as a raking long pass sent him clean through for a low shot that was too close to Majecki. The 27-year-old was having a torrid time and, teed up by Martinelli, again he couldn't beat Majecki with a close-range effort that drew a fine save from the 'keeper. But Jesus' clever movement was at least causing Monaco problems and he played a key role in Arsenal's 34th-minute opener. Lewis-Skelly slipped a superb pass to Jesus, who ran in behind the Monaco defence and delivered a low cross that presented Saka with a simple tap-in for his fourth goal in his last six games. Martin Odegaard squandered a golden opportunity to double Arsenal's lead just before half-time as he robbed Soungoutou Magassa, but fired wide with only Majecki to beat. Thilo Kehrer should have made Arsenal pay for their profligacy early in the second half, but his header flashed wide from 10 yards. Arteta's men lost concentration for a long period after the break and Takumi Minamino tested Raya before Breel Embolo drilled inches wide following sloppy defending from William Saliba. But Arsenal emerged unscathed and wrapped up the points in the 78th minute. Majecki didn't clear his lines quickly enough when Havertz put the 'keeper under pressure, allowing Saka to steer his shot into the empty net from close range. There was still time for Arsenal to put further gloss on the scoreline in the 88th minute as Havertz turned in Saka's shot.

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli troops stormed one of the last hospitals operating in northern Gaza on Friday, forcing many staff and patients outside to strip in winter weather , the territory’s health ministry said. The army denied claims it had entered or set fire to the complex and accused Hamas of using the facility for cover. Kamal Adwan Hospital has been hit multiple times over the past three months by Israeli troops waging an offensive against Hamas fighters in surrounding neighborhoods, according to staff. The ministry said a strike on the hospital a day earlier killed five medical staff. Israel's military said it was conducting operations against Hamas infrastructure and militants in the area and had ordered people out of the hospital, but said it had not entered the complex as of Friday night. It repeated claims that Hamas militants operate inside Kamal Adwan but provided no evidence. Hospital officials have denied that. The Health Ministry said troops forced medical personnel and patients to assemble in the yard and remove their clothes. Some were led to an unknown location, while some patients were sent to the nearby Indonesian Hospital, which was knocked out of operation after an Israel raid this week. Israeli troops during raids frequently carry out mass detentions, stripping men to their underwear for questioning in what the military says is a security measure as they search for Hamas fighters. The Associated Press doesn’t have access to Kamal Adwan, but armed plainclothes members of the Hamas-led police forces have been seen in other hospitals, maintaining security but also controlling access to parts of the facilities. The Health Ministry said Israeli troops also set fires in several parts of Kamal Adwan, including the lab and surgery department. It said 25 patients and 60 health workers remained in the hospital. The account could not be independently confirmed, and attempts to reach hospital staff were unsuccessful. “Fire is ablaze everywhere in the hospital,” an unidentified staff member said in an audio message posted on social media accounts of hospital director Hossam Abu Safiya. The staffer said some evacuated patients had been unhooked from oxygen. “There are currently patients who could die at any moment,” she said. Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani, an Israeli military spokesman, denied the accusations. “While IDF troops were not in the hospital, a small fire broke out in an empty building inside the hospital that is under control,” he said Friday night. He said a preliminary investigation found “no connection” between military activity and the fire. The Israeli military heavily restricts the movements of Palestinians in Gaza and has barred foreign journalists from entering the territory throughout the war, making it difficult to verify information. “These actions put the lives of all of these people in even more danger than what they faced before,” U.N. spokesperson Stephanie Tremblay told journalists, and noted colleagues' reports of “significant damage” to the hospital. It should be protected as international law requires, she added. Since October, Israel’s offensive has virtually sealed off the northern Gaza areas of Jabaliya, Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya and leveled large parts of them. Tens of thousands of Palestinians were forced out but thousands are believed to remain in the area, where Kamal Adwan and two other hospitals are located. Troops raided Kamal Adwan in October, and on Tuesday troops stormed and evacuated the Indonesian Hospital. The area has been cut off from food and other aid for months , raising fears of famine . The United Nations says Israeli troops allowed just four humanitarian deliveries to the area from Dec. 1 to Dec. 23. The Israeli rights group Physicians for Human Rights-Israel this week petitioned Israel’s High Court of Justice, seeking a halt to military attacks on Kamal Adwan. It warned that forcibly evacuating the hospital would “abandon thousands of residents in northern Gaza.” Before the latest deaths Thursday, the group documented five other staffers killed by Israeli fire since October. Israel launched its campaign in Gaza vowing to destroy Hamas after the group’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel in which militants killed around 1,200 people and abducted some 250 others. Around 100 Israelis remain captive in Gaza, around a third believed to be dead. Israel’s nearly 15-month-old campaign of bombardment and offensives has devastated the territory’s health sector. A year ago, it carried out raids on hospitals in northern Gaza, including Kamal Adwan, Indonesian and al-Awda Hospital, saying they served as bases for Hamas, though it presented little evidence. Israel’s campaign has killed more than 45,400 Palestinians, more than half women and children, and wounded more than 108,000 others, according to the Health Ministry. Its count does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. More than 90% of Gaza’s 2.3 million Palestinians have been driven from their homes, most now sheltering in sprawling tent camps in south and central Gaza. Children and adults, many barefoot, huddled Friday on the cold sand in tents whose plastic and cloth sheets whipped in the wind. Overnight temperatures can dip into the 40s Fahrenheit (below 10 Celsius), and sea spray from the Mediterranean can dampen tents just steps away. "I swear to God, their mother and I cover ourselves with one blanket and we cover (their five children) with three blankets that we got from neighbors. Sea waters drowned everything that was ours,” said Muhammad al-Sous, displaced from Beit Lahiya in the north. The children collect plastic bottles to make fires, and pile under the blankets when their only set of clothes is washed and dried in the wind. At least three babies in Gaza have died from exposure to cold in recent days , doctors there have said, and the Health Ministry said an adult — a nurse who worked at the European Hospital — also died this week.

ST. LOUIS — Planned Parenthood clinics in Missouri delayed plans to offer medication abortions to patients Friday as they awaited a Jackson County judge’s ruling on their challenge of state abortion restrictions. A constitutional amendment protecting the right to an abortion, approved by voters last month, went into effect early Friday. But lawmakers over the years have enacted a long list of restrictions and regulations on abortion providers and caused clinics to close . Missouri’s two regional Planned Parenthood organizations filed a lawsuit in Jackson County Circuit Court the day after voters approved Amendment 3, seeking to strike down the restrictions , which they argued were in violation of the state constitution after the November vote. The lawsuit challenges regulations such as those mandating that abortion patients see the same doctor 72 hours apart, clinics meet expensive building specifications to get a license, and doctors have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. Plaintiffs also asked the judge to immediately issue a preliminary injunction, which would pause the restrictions while the court case played out. A hearing was held before Judge Jerri Zhang late Wednesday, with lawyers for Planned Parenthood facing off against Attorney General Andrew Bailey’s office, which is trying to keep the restrictions in place. All parties are awaiting the judge’s decision. Planned Parenthood said Wednesday they planned to take walk-in medication abortion appointments at their clinics in St. Louis, Kansas City and Columbia as soon as the judge ruled in their favor. Surgical abortion appointments would be offered later, they said. As of Friday afternoon, Zhang had not ruled. A final decision in the case could be months away, with appeals expected. “The court is no doubt carefully analyzing years of anti-abortion laws and multiple outright bans on abortion,” Emily Wales, president and CEO, Planned Parenthood Great Plains, said in a statement Friday. “We know that review takes time.” Dr. Colleen McNicholas, chief medical officer for Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, spent Thursday making sure cabinets at the St. Louis clinic were stocked with the two drugs needed for medication abortions, one that patients take immediately and the other taken at home 48 hours after. For now, only medication abortions up to 12 weeks gestation are planned at Great Rivers’ St. Louis clinic, with procedural abortions to come later if restrictions, such as a 72-hour waiting period, are lifted. Planned Parenthood Great Plains is also prepared to offer medication abortion at its Kansas City clinic. If telehealth restrictions are lifted, Missourians will immediately be able to use the Planned Parenthood Direct app to connect with a provider and explore the option of having drugs for a medication abortion shipped to them. Five other Planned Parenthood Great Rivers clinics also could soon provide medication abortion services as well, depending on whether restrictions such as limiting care by advanced practice clinicians and telehealth are lifted, McNicholas said. McNicholas said the need to legally remove state restrictions has confused people who thought abortions would be available immediately after the November vote. “There’s all sorts of patients who are completely confused,” she said. “And we did certainly see that right after Amendment 3 passed, where folks who were calling to make appointments were confused, (asking), ‘Why can’t I just go to the center in St Louis?’” Looking ahead, McNicholas said Planned Parenthood is prepared to continue the yearslong battle over abortion access in Missouri. “That is a reality that this team has been familiar with for a really long time,” she said. “It shouldn’t be that way, and we wish it weren’t that way, but it is a fight we know how to fight, and we’re prepared to do that if that’s what’s needed to restore access for folks.” Outside the St. Louis clinic earlier this week, as well as locations in Kansas City, Springfield, Columbia and Rolla, members of the anti-abortion nonprofit Coalition Life joined Republican state lawmakers in also promising a fight. They held simultaneous press conferences on Tuesday to argue that Planned Parenthood clinics are not safe and require strict oversight. “We call for all of these safety standards to stay intact, and if they are overturned, we call on the people of the state of Missouri, we call on our Legislature, to reenact these safety standards,” said Brian Westbrook, Coalition Life’s executive director. On Thursday, members of 40 Days For Life gathered outside five Planned Parenthood clinics across the state to pray that the judge deny the injunction “for the health and safety of women seeking abortions.” “I am just happy the judge is taking time to consider this and not just rushing into a judgment,” Kathy Forck, with 40 Days for Life in Columbia, said Friday afternoon. Includes reporting by The Missouri Independent. Westbrook cited 80 ambulance calls to the St. Louis clinic for mostly life-threatening conditions, but documentation provided by Coalition Life listed 58 emergency calls between January 2009 and April 2016 for conditions such as fainting, falls and hemorrhage – details of which are private. Westbrook also said that sidewalk counselors, who approach patients with information about support services for continuing their pregnancies, will return to the St. Louis clinic. “We plan to be back here doing sidewalk counseling at this location or wherever is in need,” he said, “because we want to specifically meet those women who are going in for an abortion and offer them real, tangible resources to help them to choose life.” Meanwhile, Republican legislators are considering other ways to ban or restrict abortions, whether through another state ballot question or through legislation, setting up the potential for more court fights'Tone deaf': Island council cuts non-profit funding, expands grant accessParkinson’s community ‘felt left out in the cold’ – Rory Cellan-Jones
