Germany to face Spain in Women’s Nations League final after edging past France

Posted on by

CAEN, France (AP) — Germany will face defending champion Spain in the Women’s Nations League final next month, setting up a repeat of this year’s European Championship semifinal.

Germany advanced after a hard-fought 2-2 draw with France on Tuesday, progressing 3-2 on aggregate. Meanwhile, Spain secured their spot with a commanding 5-0 aggregate win over Sweden.

The final will be held over two legs, with Germany hosting Spain on November 28 before the return match takes place four days later at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid.

France, having lost 1-0 in Germany on Friday, came back strongly in the semifinal second leg. Melvine Malard, starting in place of the injured Marie-Antoinette Katoto, headed in a cross in the third minute to give France an early lead. However, Nicole Anyomi equalized just nine minutes later, and Klara Bühl put Germany ahead with a precise angled drive early in the second half.

France’s Clara Mateo then headed in a cross from fellow substitute Kadidiatou Diani in the 89th minute, setting up a tense finale. Despite the pressure, Germany held on to secure their spot in the final.

Spain’s path was less nerve-wracking, having routed Sweden 4-0 at home on Friday. Two-time Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas scored the only goal of the game in Sweden in the 75th minute, marking her third goal of the semifinal.

At Euro 2025, Spain defeated Germany 1-0, but the World Cup champion Germany went on to lose to England in the final.

‘Catastrophic’ Hurricane Melissa Levels Jamaica With 185 MPH Winds, Widespread Flooding

Posted on by
Reply

A monster Category 5 hurricane, Melissa, slammed into Jamaica on Tuesday afternoon with sustained winds reaching 185 miles per hour. Forecasters predicted rainfall accumulating in feet and a storm surge capable of swamping properties across the island.

“Don’t bet against Melissa. It is a bet we can’t win,” warned Desmond McKenzie, Jamaica’s Minister of Local Government, during a press briefing just before the storm made landfall. Although nearly six thousand shelters were opened, Mr. McKenzie expressed concern that few residents were taking advantage of them.

Hurricane Melissa intensified into one of the strongest storms on record in the Atlantic basin, surpassing even Hurricane Katrina, which devastated New Orleans and the U.S. Gulf Coast in 2005. The National Weather Service issued an urgent alert late Tuesday morning: “This is an extremely dangerous and life-threatening situation! Take cover now!”

According to the National Hurricane Center, catastrophic winds could lead to total structural failure, especially in higher elevation areas where wind speeds were expected to be up to 30 percent stronger than at lower elevations.

Damage reports emerged as the storm battered the island. The Black River Hospital in the parish of St. Elizabeth lost part of its roof; fortunately, the affected area was not where patients are housed. Numerous roads and bridges in St. Elizabeth became impassable, and roofs were torn off houses throughout the parish. However, the full extent of the damage was not expected to be known until after the storm passed, particularly in remote areas.

Power outages affected nearly 250,000 people even before landfall, with numbers expected to rise. In Kingston, most power was already down, according to a BBC reporter riding out the storm in the city. Jamaica’s Energy Minister, Daryl Vaz, confirmed that substations, transmission lines, and distribution lines across the country were out of service. A Jamaica Public Service building in St. Elizabeth lost its roof as well, but power officials assured that restoration efforts would begin as soon as it is safe for crews to operate.

At the time of the storm, approximately 25,000 tourists remained on the island, most of whom were staying at resort properties designed to better withstand such severe weather.

Forecasters predicted 15 to 30 inches of rainfall across parts of Jamaica, with some areas potentially receiving up to 40 inches. This raised the risk of catastrophic flash flooding and numerous landslides. Additionally, a life-threatening storm surge of 9 to 13 feet, accompanied by large and destructive waves, was anticipated. On Jamaica’s northwest coast near Montego Bay, storm surges of 2 to 4 feet were possible.

After hitting Jamaica, Melissa accelerated eastward but was still expected to reach southeastern Cuba as an extremely dangerous major hurricane before moving across the southeastern Bahamas. Tropical storm conditions were forecast to begin in eastern Cuba Tuesday afternoon, escalating to hurricane conditions overnight into Wednesday morning.

Cuban authorities expected 10 to 20 inches of rain and a significant storm surge along the southeast coast, with peak storm surge heights of 8 to 12 feet above normal tide levels.

Most U.S. military personnel were ordered to evacuate the Guantanamo Bay base ahead of the storm, though a shelter-in-place order was issued for remaining personnel.

Tropical storm conditions were also expected in Haiti later Tuesday and Wednesday. Afterward, the storm was projected to move northward into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, with little impact on the U.S. coastline.

No new deaths were reported following the storm’s passage, in addition to three fatalities reported during preparations.

In response to the disaster, the Jamaican government announced cash assistance for some victims. They also established a rebuilding and relief portal to combat fraudulent fundraisers. Senator Dana Morris Dixon cautioned the public: “We have already been made aware of some nefarious individuals trying to collect money on behalf of Jamaica. We remind you that this will be the official site. If it doesn’t have .gov.jm, it’s not legitimate; it’s not an official government of Jamaica site.”
