Bournemouth 2-2 Man United: Harry Maguire goes from hero to zero on the day of his England recall as Cherries frustrate Michael Carrick and Co on the south coast, writes RIATH AL-SAMARRAI
Either way, we saw that most familiar of sights — a Bournemouth draw. This was their fifth in succession and seventh in an unbeaten run of 11, so victories are not to be taken for granted. But United will have felt like two points were left on the south coast. Fernandes fooled Petrovic into going the wrong way and finally United had a breakthrough. 'I think the other situation is a penalty but I also think the one on Amad is a penalty and that could've changed the game.'

Irish Examiner view: Another CHI apology inevitable
The revelation that a private contractor provided €30,000 for a Christmas party for Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) has raised quite a few questions. Only last June, CHI had to apologise to children and families impacted by revelations such as the spinal and hip surgery controversies. This latest imbroglio, defined accurately by one TD as a conflict of interest, makes another apology inevitable. Currently, there is a voluntary European framework for online platforms to carry out limited monitoring for child sexual abuse material.

URC: Ulster 19 Connacht 26Connacht brought a miserable run of 11 interprovincial URC defeats to an end with a superb victory at the Affidea Stadium. Three tries in seven second-half minutes, two from the impressive Finn Treacy, gave the visitors the momentum to squeeze home with a bonus-point win. Ulster lost Mikey Lowry after just five minutes, punished for getting his head in the wrong place in making a tackle. Connacht turned over three Ulster lineouts which kept the home side at a non-threatening distance from their line. CONNACHT: S Naughton; S Jennings, C Forde, B Aki, F Treacy; J Carty, C Reilly; B Bohan, D Heffernan, F Bealham; J Joyce, D Murray; J Murphy, C Prendergast, S Jansen.

The Irish Times view on Micheál Martin’s busy week: vision still lacking
It has been a busy eight days for Micheál Martin. Why does the Government that Martin leads seem so lacking in domestic purpose and direction? Fourteen months into its term, it has yet to convey any coherent sense of what it is actually for. But Micheál Martin is not a president in the French or American mould. This is, in all likelihood, Martin’s final term as Taoiseach.

Israel’s strategic aims, rather than America’s, are shaping the war with Iran – The Irish Times
Shining through US president Donald Trump’s confused aims in the Iran war is Binyamin Netanyahu’s long and consistent policy to assert Israel’s military dominance in the Middle East by destroying Iran’s military capacity, political leadership and state infrastructure. That relationship under the Shah is a template for Netanyahu about a potential, mutually beneficial, future “normalisation” in the region. This would be based on Israeli military dominance, United States hegemony and expanded economic interdependence. Netanyahu’s lifelong fixation with Iran is explained by Matthew Gould, a former UK ambassador to Israel (2010-15) who was previously a diplomat in Iran. That goes back to the Dahiya doctrine, an Israeli military tactic named after the 2006 area in south Beirut, of disproportionate territorial wreckage to undermine enemy leaderships and achieve a sustained deterrent impact.

Arsenal land £60m transfer boost as Champions League advantage clear
Arteta will now shift his focus to confronting Sporting CP in the Champions League quarter-finals next month. However, even if their European journey concludes against Sporting, Arsenal have already been generously compensated for their performances in the competition this season. They've found a way to stay in games and that's what matters in the Champions League. He said: "They're top of the Premier League, and I think Arsenal are the favourites for the Champions League because I think it will suit them more than the domestic games. "In the Champions League the games might get a little bit more stretched whereas in the Premier League everyone is going to that low block against them."

Food rationing, panic-buying, planes grounded and an economic hammer blow far worse than Covid: Economists explain nightmare scenario that could be just weeks away due to Iran war
Fears are mounting that the world is heading for an economic blow far worse than the Covid pandemic within weeks as the Iran conflict threatens global oil and gas supplies. Experts warn it could trigger food shortages, grounded flights and panic-buying as countries risk running out of fuel and energy if key shipping routes remain shut. That could trigger a domino effect across the global economy, hitting everything from air travel to food production. Kurt Barrow, vice-president of oil at S&P Global Energy, warned the world could soon face outright shortages and rationing if the disruption continues. She said: 'Even just a few missiles or drones fired into the Bab el-Mandeb Strait would push oil prices several legs higher.'
