Sutton's Celtic transfer ultimatum ahead of UCL play-off
Brendan Rodgers' team are set to play a two-legged tie at the end of August, which will decide their European fate for the forthcoming season. However, Sutton, a former Celtic player, thinks that his old club should not face the crucial play-off without a complete squad. Sutton said [RecordSport]: "I'm not daft. "I understand how the market works. Read more: "I'm fully aware that Celtic will have targets who, at this stage, might not be unavailable due to their own clubs not having made up their mind, or that agents are playing a waiting game and trying to smoke out the best deals, waiting to see if they can generate as much interest as possible for their client. "Unless Celtic are going to start paying silly money, I'd imagine they may have to wait, perhaps even until the end of the window, for some of the key targets." Sutton also said that the current squad feels incomplete and that Rodgers will want most of his team ready for the start of the domestic season. He believes that the club needs to address several areas of the squad. He said: "Now returned, he's back in that pressure pot and, at this stage, there looks like there's plenty to be done. "Kieran Tierney has signed, but who is the back up with Greg Taylor leaving? "Nygren now in with Ross Doohan, yet the new striker that was wanted in January when Kyogo left will still be wanted. "Other areas of the side to be addressed." He thinks it is important for Celtic to complete as much of their transfer business as soon as possible.

Mystics upset league-leading Lynx in final minute
Shakira Austin's putback and Sug Sutton's strip-and-score led the host Washington Mystics to a last-minute 68-64 victory over the WNBA-leading Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday. HT Image The Lynx had to battle without league-leading scorer Napheesa Collier, but held a 64-62 lead with a minute to play. Austin followed a teammate's missed 3-pointer with a putback to tie the game with 32 seconds left, and Sutton picked Courtney Williams' pocket and scored a breakaway layup with 27.2 seconds remaining to claim the lead. A pair of free throws by Sonia Citron clinched the win. Austin tallied 19 points and seven rebounds to pace the Mystics . Sutton dropped in 12 points and rookie Kiki Iriafen added 11 points and 11 boards for the Mystics. The Mystics connected on just 37 percent of their shots but ruled the final minute for the victory. Minnesota stumbled as Collier missed her second consecutive game after suffering a back injury a week ago in a win over Las Vegas. Without Collier, Minnesota leaned heavily on center Alanna Smith. The seventh- year pro dropped in a career-high 26 points, shooting 9 for 17 and adding six blocked shots. Jessica Shepard, who replaced Collier in the starting lineup, tallied 12 points and 15 rebounds. Washington was tested early as the Lynx jumped to a 20-6 lead on a three-point play from Kayla McBride with 3:22 left in the opening quarter. But the Mystics reeled off a 14-2 run to pull within 22-20 at the end of the quarter. The Mystics took a seven-point lead early in the second quarter and a 39-37 advantage into halftime. They pushed ahead 49-42 on Sutton's 3-pointer four minutes into the third quarter. Minnesota answered with a 13-5 run, taking the lead when Shepard's lay-in just beat the third-quarter buzzer, setting up a back-and-forth final stanza. The Lynx's 64 points was a season-low. Minnesota tallied 19 turnovers, with Williams committing 10. Field Level Media This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Brett Sutton made it through a pandemic. Now he's fighting a new war
Sutton has been quietly doing the groundwork for nearly a year now; the CSIRO held a design workshop in May. The design is not yet set, or the name, but Sutton wants a 'paddock to plate' approach: ensuring the science itself is robust, the way universities promote studies is accurate, and that scientists are resourced to fight for the truth on social media. This week, his idea won in-principle support from the Australian Academy of Science and the Academy of Health and Medical Science, as well as from the Australian Science Media Centre (Nine, owner of this masthead, is a paying member of the centre). 'In an increasingly fragmented information environment, bringing the right voices together in a co-ordinated way has never been more important,' said Professor Louise Baur, president of the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences. Australian Academy of Science president Professor Chennupati Jagadish said he was concerned evidence-based information was being 'drowned out by disinformation, and reliable and independent sources of knowledge are increasingly rare'. Globally, Australians retain an extremely high trust in scientists – ranked fifth in a survey of 68 countries published in Nature Human Behaviour earlier this year. And misinformation has always been a part of society; much of it, like astrology, is tolerated as harmless. The problem we now face seems instead to be driven by a global collapse in trust in institutions, combined with a media and social media environment that empowers people to choose the version of the truth they want to watch, said Associate Professor Will Grant from the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science. 'It's a pull away from competing over what is true to instead saying we can have our own truths, our own world,' he said. Some 61 per cent of Australians worry about political meddling in science, per Edelman research released this year. Nearly half of people globally distrust government to care for their health. Trust in media to accurately report health information fell by 16 per cent in Australia since 2019; 35 per cent of people now say they can be as knowledgeable as a doctor if they have done their own research. In 2019, Australians' trust in government fell to its lowest level since 1969, according to a tracking survey run by the Australian National University. Society has three institutions for finding out the truth: science, journalism and the courts, said Grant. 'All those are under attack. 'We are decaying our central institutions. We are losing our central social ability to adjudicate truth.' Sutton's coalition was welcome, said Dr Susannah Eliott, CEO of the Australian Science Media Centre, but faced a tricky task, as people might actually find a coalition of science institutions less trustworthy than individual scientists. A similar effort in the US, the Coalition for Trust in Health and Science, floundered because it tried to simply compete directly with misinformation, rather than engaging people in genuine dialogue, said Tina Purnat, a misinformation researcher at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. 'It can feel pretty paternalistic if you are on the receiving end,' she said. 'I think the positioning of any coalitions as 'defenders of science' and using combative language can massively backfire in any effort to de-escalate polarised discussions.' Sutton is not yet clear on what shape his coalition will take or how it will be funded, but he wants it to be separate from government. 'Government can be the reason why people lack trust in where information comes from,' he said. AI: a growing misinformation threat Even as Sutton works to pull together his coalition, Australian researchers are tracking a new and growing misinformation threat: artificial intelligence-enabled bots. Automated accounts have long plagued social media. But they have generally been fairly easy to spot. Not any more. Bot developers have linked Twitter and Facebook accounts to AI models like ChatGPT, giving the bots the ability to post like humans – and even respond or retweet. 'The bot is pretty much mimicking human behaviour,' said Dr Muhammad Javed. His team at Melbourne's Centre for Health Analytics has tracked these bots as they made a major impact on social media discussions of vaccination. In preliminary data presented to the Communicable Diseases & Immunisation Conference earlier this month, they found nearly a quarter of social media content around the new RSV vaccine was generated by bots – most of it around safety concerns. Loading Social media companies have made efforts to limit anti-vaccination content – but the bots were getting around this by behaving as though they were real humans posting adverse effects they had received from a jab, Javed said.
