A rally in oil prices after a two-month slide indicates traders are betting that OPEC and its allies including Russia will agree to produce less crude.Representatives of oil-producing nations will hold a highly anticipated meeting Thursday in Vienna, with analysts predicting that they will agree on a cut of at least 1 billion barrels a day in an effort to bolster prices.Russian President Vladimir Putin boosted expectations for a deal when he said at the G20 summit over last weekend that Russia and Saudi Arabia have agreed to extend an attempt by OPEC to balance oil supply and demand — although he provided no figures.Crude prices began falling in October and continued to plunge last month due to oversupply and fears that weaker global economic growth would dampen energy demand. The price of both benchmark U.S. crude and the standard for internationally traded oil fell 22 per cent in November.On Monday, however, West Texas intermediate rose $2.02, or 4 per cent, to settle at $52.95 a barrel, and Brent international crude climbed $2.23, or nearly 4 per cent, to close at $61.69 a barrel in London.Analysts attribute the turnaround to a truce in the escalating trade dispute between the United States and China. That has raised hopes that, with a cessation in further tit-for-tat tariffs, short-term economic growth and energy demand might be stronger than feared.Also, the Alberta premier announced that the Canadian province will trim production by 8.7 per cent because a shortage of pipeline capacity has caused a glut of Canadian crude. Canada is the largest source of oil imported by the U.S.Finally, the small but wealthy Persian Gulf nation of Qatar said Monday that it will leave OPEC in January. Qatar has been feuding with Saudi Arabia and three other Arab nations that accuse it of financing terrorism.Qatar is one of the smallest oil producers in OPEC, so its departure will have only a marginal impact on the cartel’s share of the world’s supply. Still, the surprising announcement by Qatar’s energy minister underscores the political tension within OPEC, “which doesn’t necessarily make it easier to come to a decision” on cutting production, said JBC Energy analyst David Wech.Some analysts expect OPEC and Russia will agree to even larger cuts, about 1.5 million barrels a day. Anything less, they say, could set the stage for continued global oversupply next year and send oil prices lower.OPEC must produce “a credible agreement” to cut output by about 1.5 million barrels a day for oil prices to recover their recent losses, Credit Suisse analyst William Featherston wrote in a note Monday. The Saudis, he said, will have to bear the largest share of cuts.Saudi Arabia seems eager to reduce supply, Featherston said, but the kingdom’s decision is complicated by President Donald Trump’s desire for lower prices and the Saudis’ wish to improve relations with the U.S. after the murder of journalist and U.S. resident Jamal Khashoggi.Trump blamed OPEC and Saudi Arabia earlier this year for high oil prices. When U.S. crude skidded to $54 on Nov. 21, he tweeted, “Thank you to Saudi Arabia, but let’s go lower!” Trump might complain about cuts designed to send prices higher.U.S. producers have benefited from higher prices. American output has soared since the price bust of 2014-15, and the U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that the U.S. has eclipsed Russia and Saudi Arabia to become the world’s biggest producer. (Saudi Arabia remains the top exporter.)Much of that new U.S. production is coming out of shale formations that lie underneath West Texas and New Mexico. Executives of some companies that operate there, including Trump supporter Harold Hamm, the chairman and CEO of Continental Resources Inc., have said recently that they might cut back on production if oil falls below $50 a barrel, which it barely avoided in late November.“I think (Trump) is starting to realize that if oil prices continue to fall, it might have a negative effect for U.S. producers,” said Phil Flynn, a prominent oil analyst. “I think he has heard from a couple of them, ‘Hey, you don’t want to crash this thing too hard.’”David Koenig, The Associated Press
Explosive new evidence has emerged over claims that thousands of children suffered birth defects after their mothers took a controversial pregnancy-testing drug.Hundreds of families have for years been battling for compensation over claims the hormone-based drug Primodos led to their children suffering severe deformities and serious health problems.Until now, campaigners have failed to establish a causal link between the drug prescribed by GPs during the Sixties and Seventies and the birth defects. But the discovery of thousands of pages of previously unseen documents has given them new hope of justice.The papers, which were unearthed in the Berlin National Archives, will be examined by a committee of experts. A Sky Atlantic documentary to be broadcast on Tuesday discloses that a separate document showed a warning had been placed on Primodos packets by UK regulators in June 1975.It stated that the drug should not be taken during pregnancy because of the risk that it may cause malformations. These documents were found by Karl Murphy, 44, who was born with shrivelled hands and feet and whose mother, Pam, had been part of a campaign group that attempted to prove Primodos had harmed their babies.Despite the evidence accumulated over the years, an attempt to bring the case to court by the alleged victims in 1982 collapsed and legal aid was withdrawn from the 700 families who were suing the drug’s manufacturer, Schering, for compensation. 
Marie Lyon, whose daughter Sarah was born with a foreshortened arm, is chair of the Association for Children Damaged by Hormone Pregnancy TestsCredit:PAUL COOPER Campaigners have claimed a cover-up and likened the scandal to that of Thalidomide, the morning-sickness drug that led to thousands of children being born with malformed limbs.Yasmin Qureshi, the Labour MP, who has long supported the families in their battle for justice, told The Telegraph: “These documents form a significant discovery and could lead to important developments.“I believe there may have been a cover-up over the effect of this drug on pregnant mothers.”Marie Lyon, whose daughter Sarah was born with a foreshortened arm and believes that the tablets stunted her development in the womb, welcomed the discovery. She said: “It’s unthinkable that more than 40 years after our children were born, neither the sufferers nor their mothers have had justice.”The files, which had been stored in archives for decades, showed that in January 1975, Dr William Inman, principal medical officer for the British Government, had found that women who took a hormone pregnancy test “had a five-to-one risk of giving birth to a child with malformations”.
Dr Inman wrote to Primodos’s German manufacturer, Schering, so the firm could “take measures to avoid medico-legal problems”, rather than recall the drug. A later document
explains that Dr Inman destroyed the materials on which his findings were based, “to prevent individual claims being based on his material”.The Berlin archive documents will be examined by the Commission on Human Medicines’ Expert Working Group on Hormone Pregnancy Tests.It is now known that one dose of
Primodos contained super-strength hormones that, later, would be used in the morning-after pill.In 1967 a paediatrician called Isabel Gal found that a high proportion of babies born with spina bifida had mothers who had taken hormonal pregnancy tests. She fought a 10-year battle to get the drug removed from the market, but said she was stonewalled at every turn. It was deemed unlikely that they would be able to prove a causal link between the drug and the malformations suffered by their children.Schering is now owned by Bayer, which insists that sales of Primodos in were “in compliance with prevailing laws”. The pharmaceutical giant said that the view – both at the time and, after a full review, today – is that “evidence for a causal association between the use of hormonal pregnancy tests and an increased incidence of congenital malformations was extremely weak”.Bayer “rejects any suggestion” that anything has been concealed by Schering, other than privileged documents. Labour MP Yasmin Qureshi believes ‘there may have been a cover-up’Credit:AP Want the best of The Telegraph direct to your email and WhatsApp?

Police remove members of Kerala Students Union as they take part in a protest after two women entered the Sabarimala temple in Kochi. Photo: ReutersOne person was killed and at least 15 injured in violence across southern India’s Kerala state which broke out after two women defied traditionalists to enter one of Hinduism’s holiest temples, police said Thursday.Clashes were reported across the state after the two women activists, escorted by police, entered the Sabarimala temple in a surprise pre-dawn operation on Wednesday.The Supreme Court in September overturned a decades-old ban on women of menstruating age—deemed as those between 10 and 50 — setting foot inside the gold-plated Sabarimala temple.Several women activists have made unsuccessful attempts to reach the temple since the order but faced stiff resistance from thousands of devotees including men and women, who see it as an attack on tradition.“The person who died was part of a BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) demonstration yesterday and got injured when some stones were hurled (at the demonstrators),” Kerala police spokesman Pramod Kumar told AFP.“His injuries were serious and he died late Wednesday night. At least 15 others were injured in incidents across the state,” Kumar added.Local media reports said the demonstrators from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s BJP were hit by stones from a local office of the state’s ruling Communist party.Kerala remained tense on Thursday, and the police said additional forces had been deployed across the state to prevent further violence breaking out.The police Wednesday used tear gas, stun grenades and water cannon to control clashes between the rival groups, largely conservatives and cadres of the state’s ruling left-wing parties.Journalists were also assaulted during the disturbances in the state’s capital, Thiruvananthapuram, and nearby Kollam city.September’s verdict was the latest progressive ruling from the court, with judges also overturning bans on gay sex and adultery last year.In rare comments regarding the Sabarimala temple on Tuesday, Modi—running for a second term in elections later this year—appeared to support the ban, saying the matter was related to tradition.“There are some temples which have their own traditions, where men can’t go. And men don’t go,” Modi told Indian media.The Supreme Court is to start hearing a legal challenge on its ruling to allow women into the temple from January 22.Women are still barred from a handful of Hindu temples in India. The entry of women at Sabarimala was taboo for generations and formalised by the Kerala High Court in 1991.
Melania Trump on Monday gave her multipronged effort to promote the well-being of children a minimalist new motto: “BE BEST.”The first lady formally launched her long-awaited initiative after more than a year of reading to children, learning about babies born addicted to drugs and hosting a White House conversation on cyberbullying.“As a mother and as first lady, it concerns me that in today’s fast-paced and ever-connected world, children can be less prepared to express or manage their emotions and often times turn to forms of destructive or addictive behavior such as bullying, drug addiction or even suicide,” she said in prepared remarks.“I feel strongly that as adults, we can and should ‘be best’ at educating our children about the importance of a healthy and balanced life,” Mrs. Trump said.The first lady said early on that she would focus on child well-being. The goal of her public awareness campaign is to encourage parents and other adults to teach children how to be good citizens, including being kind, not bullying on social media or anywhere else, staying away from drugs and taking care of themselves.The campaign will focus on the issues of well-being, social media and opioid abuse, she said.“If we truly listen to what our kids have to say, whether it be their concerns or ideas, adults can provide them the support and tools they need to grow up to be happy and productive adults who contribute positively to society and their global communities,” said Mrs. Trump, who made the announcement in the White House Rose Garden as President Donald Trump looked on from the audience.Monday’s announcement followed a period of high visibility for a first lady who once had a scant public presence around the White House. Last month, she joined her husband to host the prime minister of Japan at the Trumps’ Florida estate and the president of France at the White House. She also represented the administration at the April funeral of former first lady Barbara Bush.Mrs. Trump’s announcement also came as her husband remains under intense legal pressure from a special counsel’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and is facing questions over $130,000 in hush money paid by one of his attorneys to a porn actress who says she had sex with Trump in 2006. Trump denies her accusation.During nearly 16 months as first lady, Mrs. Trump demonstrated her interest in children by visiting with young hospital patients in the U.S. and during overseas trips with the president, often reading to them and encouraging them to do their best.Her interest in the opioid drug crisis, developed during the presidential campaign, has taken her to care centers and hospitals in West Virginia and Ohio to learn about the epidemic’s effect on babies born to mothers addicted to the powerful painkillers. She convened a White House roundtable on the issue last fall.In March, the first lady hosted representatives of the major online and social media companies at the White House to discuss cyberbullying and internet safety.That meeting came more than a year after she promised to use her White House platform to discourage cyberbullying. Her choice was ridiculed almost immediately, given her husband’s longtime habit of calling people names on Twitter, but Mrs. Trump said the criticism wouldn’t discourage her from doing what she thinks is right.She said Monday that social media is too often used in negative ways and that it is important for children to learn positive online behaviors at a young age.“I do believe that children should be both seen and heard, and it is our responsibility as adults to educate and remind them that when they are using their voices — whether verbally or online — they must choose their words wisely and speak with respect and compassion,” the first lady said.Modern first ladies typically highlight personal causes, from Nancy Reagan’s campaign to get kids to “Just Say No” to drugs to the emphasis the late Barbara Bush and her daughter-in-law Laura Bush placed on literacy and education to Michelle Obama’s signature “Let’s Move” campaign against childhood obesity, which she launched about a year after moving to the White House.Mrs. Trump took a little more time to pull her initiative together. She did not live in the White House for the first five months of the administration to avoid having their son, Barron, now 12, change schools during the year. She has a smaller staff than her predecessors and only hired her policy director in January of this year.The first lady plans said she will travel as part of the initiative. Share

Lions at Ravens (-2.5) – Colin loves Baltimore giving 2.5, at home, against Matt Stafford Detroit, and it’s mostly because of their dominant defense that has allowed a microscopic 9.8 PPG and 255.3 YPG over their last 4 games. The Ravens have 14 Sacks in their last 4 and should be able to tee off on Stafford, who’s been sacked 10 times in his last 3. Also, Baltimore leads the NFL in Takeaways (26), and could feast on a Detroit offense that has the 5th most giveaways in the league since Week 5.Matt Stafford could be running for his life here. Take the Ravens, lay the 2.5. 28-21, Baltimore. Colin took Week 12 off for the holiday, but he’s ready to come roaring back in Week 13 with one his favorite Blazin’ 5’s of the year. He’s 32-22-1 on the season, and ready to make Week 13 lucky for the listening audience.Here are Colin’s Week 13 NFL plays, including one of his favorite play’s this year:Panthers at Saints (-4) – Colin is taking the Saints, coming of a tough loss, laying 4 at home against an inconsistent Cam Newton and the Panthers. New Orleans is 6-3 ATS over their last 9, 4-0-1 ATS over their last 5 against the Panthers, and beat Carolina 34-13 in Week 3 with Drew Brees completing 76% of his passes, with 3 TD’s and a Passer Rating of 131.4. Over his last 5 games, Brees has a Passer Rating of 109.8.The Panthers D just allowed Josh McCown to throw for 3 TD’s without an INT and a Passer Rating of 109.4, so expect Brees to carve them up while also pounding it in the running game. Cam has had trouble consistently moving the chains, and if he can’t, the Carolina D could be gassed by the 4th quarter. Take the Saints, lay the 4. 31-22, New Orleans. Steelers (-5.5) at Bengals – Colin doesn’t like swallowing points, but absolutely loves Steelers laying 5.5 on the road against AFC North rival Cincinnati in what might be his favorite pick of the year.Pittsburgh is 4-2 ATS over their last 6, and 11-2-1 ATS in their last 14 on the road in Cincy. They’re 6-0 when Le’Veon Bell has 100+ scrimmage yards this year, and Cincinnati’s defense has allowed 146.2 Rush YPG over their last 6 games. In his first game against the Bengals in Week 7, Bell racked up 192 total scrimmage yards, and has averaged 119.8 YPG with 4 touchdowns in his last 4 road games.Pittsburgh should be able to pound the rock all day and the defense should stifle Andy Dalton. Take the Steelers, lay the 5.5. 34-23, Steelers.? Blazin’ 5 is 32-22-1 through Week 12 ?@ColinCowherd makes his Week 13 picks? and they’re ? pic.twitter.com/bg5DF89LpJ— Herd w/Colin Cowherd (@TheHerd) December 1, 2017 Advertisement
Chiefs at Jets (+3) – Colin likes the surprising Jets getting a field goal, at home, against the struggling Chiefs. New York is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 at home, and 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9, overall. Meanwhile, Kansas City is only 1-5 ATS over their last 6, and have only rushed for 100 yards once in their last 6 games (1-5 overall).In his last 4 games, Josh McCown has 7 Pass TD’s, 1 INT, and a Passer Rating of 101.9. In his last 5 games, breakout receiver Robby Anderson has 6 receiving TD’s, including at least one in each game. Take the Jets, the points, and the outright win. 24-23, Jets. Vikings (+3) at Falcons – Colin is rolling with the Vikings and Case Keenum getting 3 points on the road against a resurgent Atlanta. Minnesota is 5-0 ATS in their last 5, and comes in riding a 7-game win streak, during which they’ve scored 20 or more points in each game for the first time since the record setting 1998 team.Latavius Murray has 5 rushing touchdowns over his last 5 while averaging 4.5 YDS/Rush, and will face a Falcons D that has allowed 6 rushing scores and 5.1 YDS/Rush in their last 4. Ball control and defense gets the cover. Take Minny, the 3, and the outright W. 28-24, Vikings.

– / 40 That play went to Janis as well, and it was that 60-yard reception — on 4th-and-20 — that kept the Packers’ drive alive and set up the Hail Mary.The cornerback beaten on that play was Justin Bethel, a player whom many eyes are on now that he’s in a starting role for the first time in his career.Bethel said he thought he had help from a safety over the top, but that wasn’t the reason for why the big completion was made.“I don’t know what was happening,” he said Tuesday. “I knew it was a Cover 2, so I was playing off thinking — probably thinking too much was the problem — thinking they might try to run something to the sticks just to get the first down and I was a little too far behind.“I looked back for the ball once I saw him (Janis) slow up, looking, thinking the ball was still in the air, and as soon as I looked he caught it. So I turned around, he already caught it. I definitely should have been closer to him, but you know, stuff like that happens sometimes.”The play stood out as the biggest gaffe in what was at times a difficult game for the fourth-year pro, who is seeing plenty of passes come his way as teams look to avoid Peterson on the other side. Understandably, Bethel seemed to be taking things pretty hard after the game, which leads to the question of whether there is reason to worry about his mindset going forward. TEMPE, Ariz. — When people talk about the catch that nearly cost the Arizona Cardinals a win last Saturday, they will most surely be pointing to the 41-yard Hail Mary caught by Green Bay’s Jeff Janis over Patrick Peterson and Rashad Johnson in the end zone as time expired.It makes sense, since that play– plus the extra point — sent the game into overtime.Lost in that conversation, however, will probably be an even longer pass that was completed a few plays earlier. Bethel is not the only member of the team that got a bit of a reprieve when Fitzgerald took a shovel pass into the end zone from five yards out, allowing the Cardinals to escape with a 26-20 win and move on to the NFC Championship Game.Quarterback Carson Palmer threw a pair of interceptions — one of which was in the end zone — and was off on more throws than everyone is used to seeing.Arians himself was criticized for his team taking to the air on a 2nd-and-8 from the Green Bay 22-yard line with just more than two minutes remaining. The incomplete pass stopped the clock, and ultimately left the Packers enough extra time to pull off their end-of-regulation rally.But both quarterback and coach have enough of a track record to where people are confident in their abilities; Bethel is not afforded the same luxury.While the 25-year-old has all the size and tools necessary to become a reliable cornerback, until he puts it all together, the question as to whether or not he will is not going anywhere.The only way to make his struggles a thing of the past is to move forward, and that means learning from his experiences.“Just finish, I guess,” he said of what he needs to learn. “When I see the receiver relax, I can’t relax. I’ve got to finish until I hear the whistle blow and just keep being able to move on to the next play because you never know what can happen on any play.” Derrick Hall satisfied with D-backs’ buying and selling “We’ll wait and see,” Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said Monday. “This is the first time he’s had something to get over. As a coach and a player, until it happens, you never know how they’ll respond. Hopefully, he’ll respond in the right way.”Arizona needs Bethel to rebound because the team is fairly thin at cornerback. The season-ending injury to Tyrann Mathieu meant Jerraud Powers, normally a cornerback, needed to move inside, which opened up the spot for Bethel.A three-time Pro Bowler for his work on special teams, the team signed him to a three-year, $15 million contract extension in December because they saw his potential to grow into larger role on defense, too.If that is to happen, he will have to get past last Saturday’s struggles, which it seems like he has.“I was happy that we won, obviously; it was definitely a sigh of relief after Larry scored,” Bethel said. “I said, ‘Oh, thank you Jesus.’“I guess I handle things different than most people and it might come off as I’m down and depressed or whatever you want to say; I’m really hard on myself and at that time I was just like, I left some stuff out on the field and I felt like I could have played better. At the end the day we won the game and we had to move on and move on to the next game. After that night it’s over, I can’t do anything about it. Just be happy and celebrate with my teammates and get ready for Carolina.” Comments Share Former Cardinals kicker Phil Dawson retires There’s little doubt Bethel will get plenty more chances. As long as he’s playing opposite Peterson, quarterbacks are going to target him. Whether they are picking on him or not really depends on how well he is playing. But if nothing else, this crash course in cornerback 101 should help him continue to grow.“I think you never really stop growing,” Bethel said. “There’s always things you can tweak and you can be better at. For me, people have been saying to me before, the more targets you get the more experience you get from it.“It’s like a test and getting a lot of information at once and trying to take it all in at one time, so I enjoy it and I think at the end of the day it’s going to make me a better player.”And of course, the positive side of being thrown at as much as Bethel is and will be is that the more plays come your way, the more opportunities you have to come up big.“I had a couple chances, I just didn’t catch the ball,” he said of Saturday’s game. “Hopefully as time goes on, if I still keep getting those targets I’ll make those plays that come to me.” The 5: Takeaways from the Coyotes’ introduction of Alex Meruelo Top Stories Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jeff Janis (83) is knocked out of bounds by Arizona Cardinals cornerback Justin Bethel (28) during the first half of an NFL divisional playoff football game, Saturday, Jan. 16, 2016, in Glendale, Ariz.
