The power play cashed in 50 percent of the time. “I give our power play credit. Last season, the Red scored just 16 goals on the power play all year — the number is already up to 14 in just 14 games this season. By the halfway point of the period, Cornell had already mustered 10 shots to Alaska’s one. Ashton's first goal of the season would mark the first of four third-period goals for Cornell, most of which came on the power play.

STRASBOURG, France, Jan 10, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Nestle Waters has been given the go-ahead to market its four French brands as "natural mineral water", despite the use of filters before bottling. Nestle Waters France said it welcomed the decision in a statement sent to AFP on Friday. But its competitors and consumer groups argued that doing so was not compatible with the premium "natural mineral water" label. "We're in the process of turning the bottling of natural mineral water into the bottling of drinking water that's still being called mineral water," said Jean-Francois Fleck, from the Eau 88 group in the Vosges. The regional authorities said it allowed the filtration on condition that it "does not alter the natural mineral water in its essential constituents and is not intended to modify the microbiological characteristics of the water".

BRUSSELS, Belgium, Jan 10, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The EU gave a long-delayed go-ahead Friday to a huge trade deal with South American bloc Mercosur championed by business groups but loathed by many European farmers -- overriding opposition led by key power France. And Paraguay's foreign minister, one of the four founding members of Mercosur, along with Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, defended the deal as "balanced". - 'Economic clout' -The deal will create a vast market of more than 700 million people, making it one of the world's largest free trade areas. "The conclusion of the EU-Mercosur trade deal is great news for Europe's global geopolitical and economic clout," she said. With the deal still requiring approval from the European Parliament, France has warned against any attempt to bring it into force before then.

LAS VEGAS, Jan 10, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - AI took over CES 2026, powering coffee machines to brew the perfect espresso, a device to create your perfect scent, and ball-hitting tennis robots that make you forget it's human against machine. "We're one of the first manufacturers to really lean in with AI," explained Andrew de Lara, spokesperson for Bosch. - Scent of AI -South Korean company DigitalScent has developed a machine, already available in some airports, that creates a personalized fragrance based on your mood and preferences. While Singapore-based Sharpa already offers a convincing humanoid table tennis robot with a reaction time of just two hundredths of a second, there is no equivalent on the market for tennis. "There's a real rhythm," says Run Kai Huang, spokesperson for Tenniix, "as if you were playing with a real person."

Stocks shrug off mixed US jobs data to advanceNEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Stock markets advanced Friday despite mixed US jobs data, while the Supreme Court held off from a widely-anticipated ruling on many of President Donald Trump's global tariffs for now. Data released early Friday showed that the US economy added 50,000 jobs last month, below market expectations, capping off a year of labor market weakness that prompted the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. "The key takeaway is that the low unemployment rate will temper concerns that consumer spending and the economy will slow rapidly due to a weak labor market," said Briefing.com analyst Patrick O'Hare. Expectations that the Fed will be gradually cutting rates in 2026 were reinforced by the mixed jobs numbers, said Angelo Kourkafas of Edward Jones. Kathleen Brooks, research director at XTB, added that the weakening labor market and strong GDP growth also signal that US productivity is surging.

WASHINGTON, United States, Jan 10, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - US President Donald Trump said Friday that Iran, faced with major protests, was in "big trouble" and again warned he could order military strikes. "Iran's in big trouble. It looks to me that the people are taking over certain cities that nobody thought were really possible just a few weeks ago," Trump said. Asked on his message to Iran's leaders, Trump said, "You better not start shooting because we'll start shooting too." "If they start killing people like they have in the past, we will get involved," Trump said.

NATO 'far from being in a crisis' over Greenland: top commanderHELSINKI, Jan 10, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The head of NATO's forces in Europe, US General Alexus Grynkewich, said Friday the military alliance was far from being in "a crisis", following President Donald Trump's threats to bring Greenland under US control. "So I see us as far from being in a crisis right now," he added. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is due to meet officials from Denmark and Greenland next week. Washington already has a military presence in Greenland -- the Pituffik base, which dates from World War II when the United States sent forces to defend Greenland after Denmark fell to Nazi Germany. Under a 1951 treaty, the United States could simply notify Denmark it is again sending more troops.

The rallies came as internet monitor NetBlocks said authorities imposed a "nationwide internet shutdown" for the last 24 hours that was violating the rights of Iranians and "masking regime violence". Amnesty International said the "blanket internet shutdown" aims to "hide the true extent of the grave human rights violations and crimes under international law they are carrying out to crush" the protests. He predicted the "arrogant" US leader would be "overthrown" like the imperial dynasty that ruled Iran up to the 1979 revolution. "Everyone knows the Islamic republic came to power with the blood of hundreds of thousands of honourable people, it will not back down in the face of saboteurs." Iranian Nobel peace prize winner Shirin Ebadi, who lives in exile, warned security forces could be preparing to commit a "massacre under the cover of a sweeping communications blackout".

He claimed oil companies were prepared to invest "at least 100 Billion Dollars." - Rebuilding will 'take time' -Analysts told AFP that Trump's push to revive Venezuela's oil industry rests on shaky economic and strategic ground. After the talks, Wright -- who has said Washington will control Venezuela's oil industry "indefinitely" -- admitted that it will "take time" to rebuild its infrastructure. Sanctioned by Washington since 2019, Venezuela sits on about a fifth of the world's oil reserves and was once a major crude supplier to the United States. Trump sees the country's massive oil reserves as a windfall in his fight to further lower US domestic fuel prices.

Reading time: about 6 minutesAn inability to score consistently at even strength plagued women’s hockey during its three-game losing streak entering Friday afternoon’s contest with Clarkson. We were winning our races and battles.”Although the Red came out of the gate well, it would be Clarkson who struck first. 26 seconds after falling behind, senior forward Avi Adam evened the score at one when a rebounding shot deflected off the boards behind the Clarkson net and onto her stick. After initially struggling to maintain puck-possession in its offensive zone, Clarkson began to repeatedly test Bergmann and eventually broke through on another two-on-one chance with 4:23 remaining in the opening period. “I honestly was just trying to get the puck to the net, I didn’t really pick a specific spot,” Adam said.
