Australia's economy continues to limp along at a sub-par pace, new data is expected to confirm, in line with federal government warnings. The national accounts report for the September quarter is expected to show gross domestic product expanded by a sluggish 0.4 per cent in the three months, and by 1.1 per cent over the year, according to economists. While this might be a tad higher than the pace for both measures recorded by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in the June quarter, it would be the slowest rate of expansion since December 1991 excluding the COVID-19 pandemic. In a ministerial statement on the economy to the federal parliament on November 20, Treasurer Jim Chalmers acknowledged the economy had continued to grow "but barely". "But any growth at all in these circumstances is welcome given many other countries have gone backwards," he added. One of the key drivers of economic growth is consumer consumption and spending. Some clues on how the consumer side is faring will be reflected in the statistics bureau's retail spending data for October, due on Monday, and a tally of the value of residential dwellings for the September quarter due on Tuesday. The bureau will also release quarterly balance of payments numbers, which measure the nation's trade position, and business indicators on company profits, wage payments and inventories for the three months ended September. Elsewhere on Monday, CoreLogic will release its home value index for November, which could show a slowing in price growth, and the Reserve Bank of Australia's head of domestic markets David Jacobs will give a speech at a securitisation conference. Mr Jacobs' speech will be the last the financial markets will hear from bank officials before it reveals its next decision on interest rates on December 10. Inflation continues to be outside the bank's target band of two to three per cent, dashing hopes of a rate cut anytime soon. Last week, the Albanese government smashed through a big chunk of its legislative agenda, including changes for the bank. The Reserve Bank board will soon be split into two separate committees - one for interest rate settings and the other for governance - after Labor struck a deal with the Greens and crossbench senators to approve the overhaul. The split was a key recommendation in last year's review of the bank. Meanwhile, the Australian stock market is expected to open higher on Monday after Wall Street made solid gains in a shortened trading day. The US S&P 500 rose 33.64 points, or 0.6 per cent, to 6,032.28, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 188.59 points, or 0.4 per cent, to 44,910.65, while the Nasdaq composite rose 157.69 points, or 0.8 per cent, to 19,218.17. During weekend trading the key ASX SPI200 Index futures contract added 21 points to 7012 points. The local market on Friday ended lower, with the ASX200 closing down just 8.1 points, or 0.1 per cent, at 8,436.2 and the All Ordinaries losing nine-tenths of a point to 8,699.1.Meta to build $10 billion AI data center in Louisiana as Elon Musk expands his Tennessee AI facilityLiverpool's Premier League lead was cut to seven points by Arsenal and Chelsea after the Reds conceded a 90th-minute equaliser in a thrilling 3-3 draw at Newcastle on Wednesday. Chelsea thrashed 10-man Southampton 5-1 to go second on goal difference ahead of Arsenal, who beat Manchester United 2-0. Manchester City snapped their seven-game winless run by beating Nottingham Forest 3-0 to go fourth. Mohamed Salah's second-half double was not enough to extend Liverpool's seven-game winning run in all competitions as they failed to win for just the third time in 21 games under Arne Slot. Twice the league leaders were forced to come from behind at St James' Park as Alexander Isak blasted Newcastle into a 1-0 half-time lead. Curtis Jones levelled before Anthony Gordon restored Newcastle's lead. Salah twice converted Trent Alexander-Arnold assists to turn the game around, taking his tally for the season to 15 goals. However, there was a late sting in the tale as a rare error from Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher allowed Fabian Schar to squeeze in a late equalizer for the Magpies. "He has done remarkably well for us and even today he was good. Unfortunately, he misjudged the situation," Liverpool boss Slot said of Kelleher's blunder. Arsenal took full advantage by inflicting Ruben Amorim's first defeat as Manchester United boss. Once again the Gunners were able to rely on their prowess from set-pieces to get the job done. Jurrien Timber broke the deadlock, heading in Declan Rice's corner nine minutes into the second half. William Saliba did not know much about the second, as he diverted in Thomas Partey's header from Bukayo Saka's corner, but the Frenchman did not care as Arsenal had the breathing space they craved. A fourth consecutive win in all competitions confirmed Arsenal's return to form and applied a little pressure on Liverpool. "A special day. It's a joy to play in this stadium with that energy, it's something incredible," Arteta said. "We scored two set-pieces, but we could've scored from open play many more." Amorim added: "The set-pieces killed the game. They can put a lot of players near the goalkeeper and it's almost impossible to fight for the ball. We already know we have to be better." Chelsea put bottom-of-the-table Southampton to the sword at St Mary's even before the hosts were reduced to 10 men when Jack Stephens pulled Marc Cucurella's hair. Axel Disasi's early opener for the Blues was cancelled out by Joe Aribo. But Christopher Nkunku pounced on sloppy Southampton passing from the back to make it 2-1 before Noni Madueke added a third. Stephens then saw red in a bizarre incident as he jostled with Cucurella from a Saints corner. Cole Palmer made sure he got in on the act with Chelsea's fourth before Jadon Sancho's first goal since his loan move from Manchester United rounded off the scoring. City bounced back from their barren run thanks to Kevin De Bruyne's return to the starting line-up for the first time in nearly three months. The Belgian teed up Bernardo Silva for the opening goal before firing in the second himself. Jeremy Doku sealed a much-needed three points for Pep Guardiola's men, who are now nine off the top. "Definitely we needed that after many games without winning," Guardiola said. "Kevin De Bruyne was excellent. When he's fit he's so important for us. It's just one game but it was important to break this run." Aston Villa ended their eight-game run without a win with a dominant first-half display to beat Brentford 3-1. Morgan Rogers' wonder strike, Ollie Watkins' penalty and Matty Cash's effort made it 3-0 inside 34 minutes before Brentford's Mikkel Damsgaard got one back. Everton thrashed Wolves 4-0 thanks to two Craig Dawson own goals in a huge clash at the bottom of the table. Ashley Young and Orel Mangala put the Toffees 2-0 up at half-time, before Dawson's goals twice rubbed salt in Wolves' wounds after the break. Victory lifts Everton five points clear of the relegation zone, while Wolves sink to 19th.
NORMAL — Senior quarterback Logan Malachuk never expected this for Nazareth. When the Burr Ridge resident joined the football team as a freshman , he had no idea what was in store for him or the Roadrunners. But when his career finished up Saturday afternoon, he had three state championships under his belt and unofficially threw for more yardage than any other quarterback in Illinois history. “My freshman year, we were down at halftime in Week 4, and I think we were down 20-0,” Malachuk said. “Coach (Tim) Racki put me in, we came back and won, and I didn’t look back.” Not then. And not now. Malachuk threw for 336 yards and four touchdowns Saturday to lead the Roadrunners to a 29-27 victory over Joliet Catholic in the Class 5A state championship game at Hancock Stadium. According to Nazareth’s statistics, Malachuk finished with 11,184 career yards, an Illinois High School Association record. It broke the previous mark of 10,884 by Greenville’s Tyler Hutchinson . Trenton Walker caught four passes for 122 yards and two TDs for Nazareth (12-2), while James Penley and Stanford-bound Gabe Kaminski each caught TD passes. Penley also recovered an onside kick in the closing minute of the nail-biter to clinch the Roadrunners’ sixth state title.

Johnson / Pioneer Press) Malachuk was actually unaware he was climbing the ladder to the top off the state’s passing list. “I had an idea that I had a lot of yards,” Malachuk said, nodding. “I had no idea what the record was. That’s something insane that I didn’t even think was possible. “I was lucky enough to play four years for a great team under a great offense. They put me in a great situation, and that’s all that you can ask for.” Larry Stringham led Joliet Catholic (10-4) by running for 147 yards, while Nate Magrini added 125. Junior quarterback Lucas Simulick threw for 105 yards and two TDs. But the Roadrunners continued their mastery of the Hilltoppers, after beating Joliet Catholic 38-20 in the 2023 state championship game and then 16-13 during this year’s regular season The key throughout those years? Kaminski, a senior linebacker who also played four years and makes occasional appearances on offense, pointed toward Malachuk.

Johnson / Pioneer Press) “Oh, man, his leadership is off the charts,” Kaminski said. “Whenever the offense doesn’t score or the defense gives up a touchdown, he’s always there keeping us up. “And as a player, ever since he started as a freshman, he’s been phenomenal. I love him, and I wouldn’t want anyone else as my quarterback.” Colleges are beginning to agree. The 5-foot-11, 186-pound Malachuk has offers from South Dakota, Central Missouri, Northern State and St. Thomas. Together, Malachuk and Kaminski led teams to historic firsts over the years. In 2022, they were instrumental when Nazareth became the first team in IHSA history to win a state title with four losses. The Roadrunners topped that in 2023 by being the first team to enter the playoffs with a 4-5 record and still win the state championship.

Johnson / Pioneer Press) This season, they helped Nazareth earn the first three-peat in program history. “These are two guys that have been on varsity since their freshman year and went to the state quarterfinals, which is amazing in itself,” Racki said. “And then the next two years, you go to the state championship game and you win. “You would think, especially with teenagers, there would be some sense of either empowerment or this was easy or it’s about me. They are the most humble and grounded group. They help the younger guys that have come up to varsity and teach them the right way.” And Racki, for one, enjoyed watching Malachuk’s development over his standout career. “He’s very fun to watch,” Racki said. “Not only does he have an arm, but he’s got legs, too. He’s extremely smart, and he’s not just a running-threat quarterback. He keeps his eyes downfield. “But if something opens up, he’s gonna be able to pick up some yards for us.” Jeff Vorva is a freelance reporter for the Pioneer Press.

Phillies add depth to bullpen with 1-year deal for reliever Joe RossA teacher from Maghera, in County Londonderry, has said it is an "honour" to get a special award for teaching. Ciara Mulholland, from Saint Patrick’s College in Maghera, has been recognised as the Pearson National Teaching Winner of the Outstanding New Teacher of the Year 2024. Ms Mullholland, who qualified as a teacher two and a half years ago, said she was "totally overwhelmed" to have won the award. It was announced on Tuesday evening's BBC The One Show , ahead of an awards ceremony this weekend. Speaking on the show, Ms Mullholland said: "This is amazing. I am so, so lucky. We have the best school, the best staff, the best pupils, we have the best community. This is an absolute honour." Ms Mulholland was recognised for her role in helping to encourage young girls to study science, technology, engineering and maths (known as Stem subjects), as well as running a popular after-school Science club. Selected from thousands of nominees, the award acknowledges her exceptional contribution to students and to the wider community. She told the show she had been inspired by other teachers to enter into the profession and work in her old school. Grainné Hughes, who used to teach her and is now her colleague, nominated her. "She is the complete package. "Ciara lights up in her pupils' presence and they certainly light up in hers," she told the BBC. One of her pupils told the show she made science "fun" and made it easy to learn. Head teacher Katrina Crilly said she was an "outstanding" teacher. Alongside her work in the classroom, Ms Mulholland also helps train the senior Camogie team, which she used to captain, who reached the All-Ireland finals in 2023, and volunteers at the local primary school’s Stem programme. She supports the school’s study skills programme, as well as running a popular after-school Science club. Ms Mulholland learned of her award win during a visit from The One Show’s Ryan Hand. He enlisted the help of her family, colleagues, camogie team and former teammates to surprise her with the award. The programme also included a surprise performance from one of her favourite singers Ryan McMullan. The Pearson Awards were founded in 1998 to celebrate excellence in UK education and showcasing commitment to changing the lives of children through learning. Run by the Teaching Awards Trust, an independent charity, and sponsored by Pearsons, the awards are an opportunity to shine a spotlight on the pivotal roles teachers, support staff, colleges, schools and early years educators play in inspiring young people, every single day. The remaining winners will be announced at a special ceremony in London and also revealed across the week on The One Show.SHOPKEEPERS in Lincoln have condemned the decision to scrap the Xmas market as shortsighted despite the health and safety concerns. The event's permanent axing follows previous cancellations of the festive market . Many residents who attended the event in recent years say it was overcrowded and the crowds could sometimes be intimidating. But they argue that all the event needed to make it a UK wide attraction was re-organising it over a great number of days and expanding the site. It is understood hotel bookings have been hard hit as well as the profits of family owned niche businesses that have put the very character into the Lincoln shopping experience. Fudge shop worker Erin Dauber, 23, said: “I went to the last ever Xmas market and it was terrible. We were pinned into the castle. “It was like being at a concert with everyone pushing to the front. We could not breathe and there were kids screaming and crying. “It was extremely uncomfortable. But that being said, the market did bring in a lot of money and it now a lot tougher for local businesses to get through January without it. “It should have been spread over a couple of weeks, not three days. Lincoln is a tourist city and that way it would bring in even more tourists. “People come from all over the world for the Xmas market.” Most read in The Sun Staff the Lincoln Original Pie Shop reckoned that the city was so steeped in history and the town such a loved place to shop that it could survive without the market. The shop itself has a long history including where Lawrence of Arabia TE Lawrence wrote the Seven Pillars of Wisdom when it was a boarding house and he was at RAF Cranwell. Manager Mary Walker said: “Lincoln is a beautiful city regardless of the Xmas market. It was not the be all and end all and we are doing fine without it. “We get loads of holiday makers including many from Australia and America and we have customers who come back year after year.” Nodding in agreement, her son Lewis Walker, 18, added: “Lincoln has become more of a university town and that’s good for business too. “I did not attend the Xmas market except once on a drunken night out. It was good for business but the way it was organised was very hectic. “Of course, when the market was going we were smashed for business. But it really needed to be spread over more days and spread out more so that more of the town benefitted. HERE are all the places where visitors to Lincoln will find ice sculptures as part of the Lincoln Ice Adventure.

It was good - but really packed. “It was a bit too mad for me and the crowds got a bit crazy. The last one I went to I had a toddler in a harness and that was a bit scary.” Ashley Metcalfe, 33, and Josh, 36, visiting from Sacramento, California with seven year old daughter Lucy and other family members were very disappointed. Ashley said: “We had put the trip together to visit a Xmas market and get here to find there is no Xmas market on. ‘We could not get any answers from the local websites here what was going on.” Josh added: “Then I spotted a column saying it was cancelled two years ago so we missed it by a long chalk. “I can understand if they had cancelled it because local residents had complained but health and safety does not make any sense.” Ashley added: “We are leaving here tomorrow so we are just going to visit the Xmas market in Bath instead. “We did not realise the Xmas market was cancelled until we got here so it was very disappointing. It seems such an ideal location. “I would have been beautiful at Xmas. We know Xmas markets are something Europe does well. We don’t really have anything like it around where we live. So we don’t understand the local politics.” Speciality tea and coffee shop workers Ollie Simons, 29, and Emily Hodgson, 29, were also disappointed. Ollie said: “It is frustrating. It was a huge attraction to Lincoln. I think it was very short-sighted to cancel it outright rather than fixing the problem by spreading it out more and improving security. “The biggest sales we had were during the Xmas market. Emily added: “A lot of businesses around here are really struggling because they do not get as much footfall. “The market was once so packed it took me 40 minutes to get through it to get to work but they could have extended it and spread it out more down the street.” Ollie said: “An ice sculpture trail is nice but it is not attracting people from all over the world to see it like the Xmas market did. The business has been here 33 years and we miss the Xmas Market.” Another disgruntled shopper stormed: “We tried to come in previous years and could not get a hotel. So this year we have a hotel but no market. It is very frustrating.” Another trader Tony Green said: “I do feel it is a shame and football has definitely fallen. We think there is some kind of skulduggery going on. “The market should have been spread out over the whole city. Just to cancel it for health and safety reasons is quite lazy. “People come to LIncoln to shop so this is just Elf and Safety. By changing the market they could have created a huge attraction not just for Lincoln but the whole of the UK.” Mia Atkins, 22, said: “I did go to the very last Xmas market and thought it was rubbish and very poorly organised. “I am glad they called it off. It was very stressful. We got stuck in the crowd in the castle and could not get to any of the stalls in the end. “But it was good for local businesses and it was really just a question of having it better organised so it was less crowded.” But another young resident Bradley Jarman, 22, said: “I went to the last Xmas market and did not think it seemed that crowded anyway. READ MORE SUN STORIES “They were supposed to be laying on events throughout the whole year to make up for its loss but I have only seen a couple and they were not very well promoted.” Labour councillor Joshua Wells previously said: “Our first year of events in the Lincoln programme was a great success for the city, bringing in thousands of people to experience the culture, history and community spirit that Lincoln has to offer."

1. Exceptional Sound QualityThe Israeli Justice Ministry made the announcement in a message late on Thursday, saying the investigation would focus on the findings of a recent report by the Uvda investigative programme into Sara Netanyahu. The programme uncovered a trove of WhatsApp messages in which Mrs Netanyahu appears to instruct a former aide to organise protests against political opponents and to intimidate Hadas Klein, a key witness in the trial. The announcement did not mention Mrs Netanyahu by name and the Justice Ministry declined further comment. Earlier on Thursday, Mr Netanyahu blasted the Uvda report as “lies”. It is the latest in a long line of legal troubles for the Netanyahus, highlighted by the PM’s ongoing corruption trial. Mr Netanyahu is charged with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in a series of cases alleging he exchanged favours with powerful media moguls and wealthy associates. He denies the charges and says he is the victim of a “witch hunt” by overzealous prosecutors, police and the media.

Ian Jackson scores career-high 26, UNC beats Campbell 97-81Damien Duff doesn’t see the point of slapping booze bans on his Shelbourne players - and his captain reckons it’s a masterstroke. Shels had to fight for their right to party since claiming the title on a dramatic final day of the season and Mark Coyle admits the champions milked the celebrations. But he makes no apologies for rinsing every last ounce out of team bonding nights - whether it’s before, during or after the season. If the play hard, party hard mentality was good enough for Roy Keane’s Manchester United-led team back in the day, Coyle believes it’s good enough for the Reds. Read More: League of Ireland's key transfers so far ahead of eagerly awaited 2025 season Read More: The good, the bad and the ugly of Ireland's international year In an era where footballers’ every move is monitored and policed by an army of sports scientists, and where other codes impose rigorous alcohol bans, Shels cut loose. They were celebrating the end of an 18-year trophy drought after all, with Duff waking the sleeping giant of Drumcondra. Coyle said: “I was listening to Brian O’Driscoll’s autobiography and they all emphasise how important those bonds are. You have training sessions where it’s tough and it’s hard and you get each other through. But on a night out, people start to open up a bit more and you get to know them on a deeper level and that matters massively. “And especially when it came to the end of last season when the going got tough, because we all know each other so. You want to stand up for the man next to you and that was seen in the last three games when it really mattered - we all stood up for each other and did the job. I definitely think it’s a load of nonsense if you ever have a drinking ban to be honest with you.” But Coyle accepts that players have to be smart about their socialising, as the era of weekly team sessions in the pub belongs to a bygone era. It’s a case of picking and choosing the right moments and Coyle said: “It’s not about getting drunk, it’s about bonding and getting to know your team-mates. “We pick the right times. It’s never going out on a Wednesday, that’s not allowed. It might be a weekend where we don’t have another game for seven or eight days. We have a thing where if you don’t have a genuine excuse to come out, you have to pay a fine because we know how important it is, and that’s the way it is. “If you go out, the alcohol is out of your system after a day or two and when we do (go out) you know the next training session is always tough. You’re nearly coming in on Monday going ‘I wish I didn’t now’ because you know how tough it’s going to be, the way the manager is. We know it’s about your standards. You can enjoy yourself but you’ve got standards that he expects from us. To me, it’s so important to the game.” Donegal man Coyle continued: “We work extremely hard and that allows us (have nights out). It’s not at stupid times, but when we do it, we make sure we party hard as well . You look at all the great teams, or you listen to The Overlap now and you’d hear Roy Keane and them about United and their bonding sessions. It’s probably proved over the test of time that these things are important.” But the pints have been parked since December 16 as that's the day Shelbourne returned to pre-season training ahead of their title defence in 2025. Duff has been busy bolstering his squad of late with Mipo Odubeko, Daniel Kelly, Ellis Chapman and Ryan O’Kane already through the door as new signings. If some League of Ireland fans felt Duff might have burned himself out by now, they are wrong as he faces into his fourth season at Shels. “His standards will go through the roof again next season, and he has warned us already that it will be tough,” said midfielder Coyle. “That's why it's exciting, it’s a new challenge. He had a glittering career in England and this is what he’s done his whole life, so I don't see him burning out any time soon. “Even though he loves us lads and loves Shelbourne, he gives everything for the league and he cares about Irish football as a whole. He knows that for the national team to improve, the league has to improve and a lot of his stuff is to improve the league, get it the recognition it deserves. “That's one of the best things about him, he actually cares a lot about Irish football and I don't get why he gets so much criticism from people outside of Shels. He has brought so much recognition to the league, to us as a club and to us as players.” Get the latest sports headlines straight to your inbox by signing up for free email alerts .
A federal judge ruled Monday that a San José State University volleyball player, who teammates say is transgender, can continue to participate in a volleyball tournament this week. The ruling by Judge S. Kato Crews, an appointee of President Biden to the U.S. District Court in Colorado, comes ahead of the three-day Mountain West Conference in Las Vegas that is set to begin Wednesday. The federal lawsuit filed on behalf of several volleyball players, including former students and a San José State associate head coach, not only sought to ban the player from participating in the tournament but also to rescind wins granted to San José State University’s volleyball team after previous rival teams forfeited matches due to the participation of the transgender player. At least four universities forfeited matches against San José State University following controversy over the player. Blaire Fleming, the student who teammates say is transgender, could not immediately be reached for comment. Fleming, who has been on the team’s roster since 2022, has not spoken publicly about the issue. A spokesperson for San José State University could not immediately be reached for comment. The lawsuit, filed two weeks ago, is the latest in the ongoing debate about transgender athletes, particularly transgender women competing in women’s sports. It comes a month after a video showing a play in which the player is seen spiking a ball, hitting a San Diego State player in the arm and briefly knocking her down. The San Diego State player, Keira Herron, a junior, successfully kept the ball in play with the dig and immediately stood up and smiled. But the play circulated on social media accompanied by claims that the San Diego State player was hit on the head and that the San Jose State player is transgender. President-elect Donald Trump, who has previously referenced the video, said he plans to ban all transgender women from competing in women’s sports. Plaintiffs in the case accused San José State University of recruiting a transgender player and argued that allowing the player to participate in the tournament discriminates against female athletes and deprives them of equal opportunities, including access to playing time and scholarships. In his ruling, Crews said the Mountain West Conference Board of Directors had approved a Transgender Participation Policy in 2022 when the player was also on the roster and because no issues were raised ahead of the tournament, the plaintiffs then failed to meet their burden to show irreparable harm had been caused. “Until the filing of this lawsuit, there was no dispute between the parties over the applicability or enforceability of the [Transgender Participation Policy],” Crews wrote. “Concerning SJSU’s alleged trans teammate, she has been a member of the team since the 2022 season and has played on the team each season since.” “It was not until the spring of 2024, at the earliest, that questions arose from Plaintiffs regarding her gender.”Looking ahead, it will be important for both the government and private sector to continue to support the development of SMEs in China. This can be done through continued policy support, increased access to financing, and support for innovation and technology adoption. By working together to create a conducive environment for SMEs to grow, China can further strengthen its economy and enhance its overall competitiveness in the global market.
One of the primary drivers of the projected growth is the gradual recovery of consumer demand in major economies. As vaccination rates rise and restrictions ease in many parts of the world, consumers are regaining confidence and increasing their spending on goods. This trend is expected to support a rise in exports across a wide range of sectors, including consumer electronics, textiles, and automobiles.
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has fired back at the former governor of Rivers State, Dr Peter Odili, saying that “an elder statesman should not be a trader and a sycophant all the time.” Wike, who was speaking at the Special Thanksgiving Service organised by Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Hon. Martin Chike Amaewhule, at the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Oro-Igwe/Eliogbolo Archdeaconry Church of the Holy Spirit, Eliozu Parish, Port Harcourt on Sunday, said it was unfortunate that somebody who is supposed to be seen as an elder statesman and called a father can reduce himself to a sycophant and a trader. A press statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the FCT Minister (Public Communications and New Media), Lere Olayinka, said Wike questioned what the former governor was looking for, warranting his unguarded utterances. He asked; “Must you be a trader all the time? As governor for eight years, what else are you looking for?” The Minister said further; “You know, I didn’t want to say anything. But somebody called me last night, and told me what someone said in the social media. I said until I read it myself. This morning, I read in the newspapers, what our former Governor, Sir Dr Peter Odili said. “What did he say? He said that the present governor has been able to stop one man who wanted to convert Rivers State to his personal estate. “Between him and myself, who has turned Rivers State to his personal estate? His wife is a Chairman of Governing Council, his daughter is a commissioner, his other daughter is a judge and he is the general overseer. Who has now turned Rivers State to his private estate? I am sure if care is not taken, if there is a chance, he can even arrange a marriage for the governor. “It was his nephew, his late senior brother’s son that was recommended for commissioner. He took the slot and gave it to his own daughter. Someone who didn’t remember to stand for the son of his late elder brother, is that an elder statesman?” Speaking further, the FCT Minister said it was painful that Dr Odili, out of political sycophancy, has forgotten all that he said in the past, adding that; “All of you here remember when I was governor, this same Odili praised me to high heaven. In fact, he said then that all past governors in Rivers State combined did not do better than me. “In 2007 after he left office, he couldn’t come near power in the state because Amaechi was the governor then. He was gone! “Like somebody said that God will use someone to lift up someone. When I came in as governor in 2015, I won’t use the word resurrected, but I brought him back to life. “All of us know about PAMO University. But for us, there wouldn’t have been anything called PAMO University. Rivers State was sponsoring 100 students per session and for every semester, each of the students was paying nothing less than N5m. Then, Rivers people were attacking me up and down. “I personally called Julius Berger to build a mansion for him to live. He was calling everyone to the house then, telling them, come and see what Wike has done for me. Wike has shown me love. He was taking them round the house. “Now, because you have organised a Christmas Carol for the governor, I didn’t say you should not do your Christmas Carol. But why reduce yourself to such a laughing stock. People will still see it on television how he was telling the whole world then how God used me to bring him back to life politically. “Why not do your Christmas Carol, collect what you can collect and leave me alone? “The governor that all of us made has not spent one year in office and the same Odili was already saying that the governor has beaten the records of all the past governors of Rivers State. “When I was there, he said I had surpassed the records of all the past governors, including himself. What can he even show that he did in his eight years as governor? But a governor has not spent one year, you are saying he has done more than all the past governors. “You spent eight years as governor and someone who hasn’t spent one year has surpassed your records, what manner of elder talk like that? Is that what an elder statesman should be known for? “When I was governor, my pictures were everywhere in his house. Sitting room, bedroom, kitchen, even in the toilet, my picture was everywhere. But today, all the pictures have been removed.” Asking what can be learned from such a sycophantic elder statesman, Wike said; “What can I learn from this kind of elder? What kind of advice can one get from him. This moment you are saying something, the next moment you are saying something else. “You see, if your children begin to ask you, is this not the same man you were praising before? What would you tell them?” On the state governorship issue, the Minister asked; “When I was plotting who will be governor after me, was he (Odili) there? Then, he was complaining about this governor, saying that he couldn’t stand before the public to talk. But today, he is organising Christmas Carol for the same governor he was against then. “He has forgotten all that he said in the past. I named this after you, I named that after your wife. What have I not done? “You said we should not be part of the government, we have left. We are managing, you have taken assembly money, they are not dying of hunger and they will not die of hunger. We are okay. I’m focusing on my job in Abuja and all these sycophancy won’t take him to the level I have attained. “This is a man who wanted to run for president then, he didn’t have the balls, he chickened out. Simply because Obasanjo said no, he will not contest, he ran away. Because of him, I never invited Obasanjo to Rivers State to commission projects. I felt it will humiliate him.”In recent days, gold prices have been on the rise both internationally and domestically, with prices reaching new highs.

AP Sports SummaryBrief at 5:57 p.m. ESTA data-focused approach to tackling phishing and business fraud promises significant reductions in the amount of phishing and phone-based fraud that companies — and their customers — face, but worries remain over whether fraudsters will adapt. On Nov. 19, the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC) unveiled its Phishing Prevention Framework, a program consisting of best practices in data collection, defense, and customer communications that has already reduced the volume of phishing incidents — as measured by abuse complaints — in a pilot program with three banks. The framework cut the incidence of abuse complaints for those financial-services firms in half and promises significant benefits for any business targeted by cybercriminals, if they implement certain best practices — such as security education and intelligence collection — included in the framework. While FS-ISAC has released the framework for the financial-services sector — where phishing is a pernicious problem — the techniques are broadly applicable, says Linda Betz, executive vice president of global community engagement at the organization. "While the framework is tailored for financial institutions due to the sensitive nature of their operations, the strategies can benefit businesses across industries," she says. "For instance, cataloging communication channels and deploying anti-phishing technologies are broadly applicable and scalable solutions for any organization dealing with sensitive customer interactions or high volumes of transactional data." The financial services sector is not the only industry plagued by phishing. In 2023, US consumers and businesses reported nearly 300,000 phishing-related crimes to the FBI, according to its annual Internet Crime Report . Phishing and pretexting — which differs in that the attacker surreptitiously joins an email thread — account for 31% and 40%, respectively, of all social engineering attacks, according to Verizon's 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) . Security awareness exercises have found that it takes less than 60 seconds for the first victims of a phishing campaign to click a link and enter their information. As part of its Phishing Prevention Framework, the FS-ISAC recommends organizations create a data-focused process for handling abuse complaints and focus on maximizing the insights that can be learned from phishing campaigns. Companies should create a fraud and phishing intake pipeline that records critical information and an abuse box infrastructure that allows security and fraud teams to disseminate intelligence to other business groups, the report stated . The key issue is that fraud reporting often focuses on preventing the bad transaction and spends little time on understanding how the activity originated, FS-ISAC's Betz says. "Structuring the abuse box to glean that information from the customer helps the financial institution know where to focus to address the root cause and take actions to reduce the risk and prevent future attempts, then share the actionable intelligence across the organization and the sector," she says. Companies "should implement structured fraud reporting systems to capture actionable data, coordinate across relevant departments, and participate in industry-wide threat intelligence platforms to help the entire sector understand the current tactics being used by fraudsters." The framework also calls for the cataloging all the ways a business communicates with customers and partners, a potentially time-consuming process. While automation can help, collaborating internally across groups and with third parties is key, says Betz. "Leveraging a succinct data collection survey including the type, origin, and results of the fraudulent activity can help establish any trends in the phishing attempts and better identify any weak areas within networks," she says. While all the steps included in the framework are commonsense approaches to anti-phishing, implementing them all will take time, says Betz. For that reason, the FS-ISAC has listed the actions along with a step number to prioritize defensive efforts. Whether establishing the processes and technologies called for by the Phishing Prevention Framework will lead to fewer successful phishing campaigns or just force attackers to evolve remains to be seen, says Matthew Harris, senior product manager for fraud at OpSec Security, a brand protection and anti-fraud firm. "One thing I've learned about being about dealing with fraudsters is that they'll pivot instantly, and the problem is that they'll pivot far faster than any other company can pivot," he says. "If they realize that there's a way that they can get better ROI, they'll do it." Scammers are already moving toward phishing attacks that increasingly use voice calls. Phone-based phishing started as a minor issue in 2021 and now accounts for nearly a quarter (23%) of all phishing attacks, according to data collected by OpSec Security. Phone-based phishing includes SMS phishing — "smishing" — and phishing emails that include a fraudulent phone number. Because there are fewer integrity checks on phone calls, cyberattackers will likely increasingly use the telecommunications channel in their scams, says OpSec's Harris. "As email security ... has gotten more and more advanced, it becomes more and more difficult [for a scammer] to communicate a traditional email to a person," he says. "By pivoting away from email and towards a phone number, ... there's a good chance a person is going to pick up that phone [giving them] access to the victim directly." For that reason, the final step of the FS-ISAC's framework includes collaborating with telecommunications firms to reduce the attack surface area through phone systems. Many providers have technologies or services, such as 'Do Not Originate' on numbers that are inbound only, giving business customers additional controls, says FS-ISAC's Betz. "Partnerships with telecommunications providers are increasingly collaborative, as these companies recognize the mutual benefits of reducing spam and phishing attacks," she says.

A judge on Monday rejected a request to block a San Jose State women's volleyball team member from playing in a conference tournament on grounds that she is transgender. The ruling by U.S. Magistrate Judge S. Kato Crews in Denver will allow the player, who has played all season, to compete in the Mountain West Conference women's championship opening this week in Las Vegas. The ruling comes in a lawsuit filed by nine current players against the Mountain West Conference challenging the league's policies for allowing transgender players to participate. The players argued that letting her compete was a safety risk and unfair. While some media have reported those and other details, neither San Jose State nor the forfeiting teams have confirmed the school has a trans woman volleyball player. The Associated Press is withholding the player's name because she has not commented publicly on her gender identity. School officials also have declined an interview request with the player. People are also reading... Crews' ruling referred to the athlete as an "alleged transgender" player and noted that no defendant disputed that the San Jose State roster includes a transgender woman player. San Jose State will "continue to support its student-athletes and reject discrimination in all forms," the university said in a statement, confirming that all its student-athletes are eligible to participate under NCAA and conference rules. "We are gratified that the Court rejected an eleventh-hour attempt to change those rules. Our team looks forward to competing in the Mountain West volleyball tournament this week." The conference did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. The players filed a notice for emergency appeal with the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Crews said the players who filed the complaint could have sought relief much earlier, noting the individual universities had acknowledged that not playing their games against San Jose State this season would result in a loss in league standings. He also refused a request to re-seed the tournament without the forfeited losses. The judge said injunctions are meant to preserve the status quo. The conference policy regarding forfeiting for refusing to play against a team with a transgender player had been in effect since 2022 and the San Jose State player has been on the roster since 2022 -– making that the status quo. The player competed at the college level three previous seasons, including two for San Jose State, drawing little attention. This season's awareness of her reported identity led to an uproar among some players, pundits, parents and politicians in a major election year. Crews' ruling also said injunctions are meant to prevent harm, but in this case, he argued, the harm has already occurred. The games have been forfeited, the tournament has been seeded, the teams have made travel plans and the participants have confirmed they're playing. The tournament starts Wednesday and continues Friday and Saturday. Colorado State is seeded first and San Jose State, second. The teams split their regular-season matches and both get byes into Friday's semifinals. San Jose State will play the winner of Wednesday's match between Utah State and Boise State — teams that both forfeited matches to SJSU during the regular season. Boise State associate athletic director Chris Kutz declined to comment on whether the Broncos would play SJSU if they won their first-round tournament game. Utah State officials did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment. The conference tournament winner gets an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. San Jose State coach Todd Kress, whose team has not competed in the national tournament since 2001, has said his team has been getting "messages of hate" and that has taken a toll on his players. Several teams refused to play against San Jose State during the season, earning losses in the official conference standings. Boise State and Wyoming each had two forfeits while Utah State and Nevada both had one. Southern Utah, a member of the Western Athletic Conference, was first to cancel against San Jose State this year. Nevada's players stated they "refuse to participate in any match that advances injustice against female athletes," without elaborating. Nevada did not qualify for the conference tournament. The nine current players and others now suing the Mountain West Conference, the California State University Board of Trustees and others include San Jose State senior setter and co-captain Brooke Slusser. The teammate Slusser says is transgender hits the volleyball with more force than others on the team, raising fear during practices of suffering concussions from a head hit, the complaint says. The Independent Council on Women's Sports is funding a separate lawsuit against the NCAA for allowing transgender women to compete in women's sports. Both lawsuits claim the landmark 1972 federal antidiscrimination law known as Title IX prohibits transgender women in women's sports. Title IX prohibits sexual discrimination in federally funded education; Slusser is a plaintiff in both lawsuits. Several circuit courts have used a U.S. Supreme Court ruling to conclude that discriminating against someone based on their transgender status or sexual orientation is sex-based discrimination, Crews wrote. That means case law does not prove the "likelihood of success" needed to grant an injunction. An NCAA policy that subjects transgender participation to the rules of sports governing bodies took effect this academic year. USA Volleyball says a trans woman must suppress testosterone for 12 months before competing. The NCAA has not flagged any issues with San Jose State. The Republican governors of Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming have made public statements in support of the team cancellations, citing fairness in women's sports. President-elect Donald Trump likewise has spoken out against allowing transgender women to compete in women's sports. Crews was a magistrate judge in Colorado's U.S. District Court for more than five years before President Joe Biden appointed him as a federal judge in January.

While appearing on MSNBC on Saturday, former Democratic Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan called for a "rebranding" of his party which he says is "toxic in so many places." After Vice President Kamala Harris lost this year's election to President-elect Donald Trump , the Democrats have been in a reflection period, with some scrutinizing what the party has become and how it led to the Democratic presidential nominee's loss. In a post-election statement , Senator Bernie Sanders , an independent from Vermont, "It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them." Tim Ryan, who represented Ohio's 17th district from 2003 to 2013 and then its 13th district from 2013 to 2023, told the hosts of MSNBC's The Weekend on Saturday morning, that Democrats failed to bring in working-class Americans by boasting about how the Biden-Harris administration supported them with legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS and Science Act, which put nearly $53 billion in U.S. semiconductor manufacturing and research. He then called for a "complete reboot" of the party, asking to go back to the President Bill Clinton era of Democratic politics. "You start with a complete reset. We need a rebrand. I think you and I have been talking about this since 2016," said Ryan, who left his House seat to run a failed Senate campaign against now-Vice President-elect JD Vance , to host Michael Steele, the former chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC). In 2016, Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton , former Secretary of State and wife to Bill Clinton, lost to Trump, a Republican New York real estate businessman who just came onto the political scene. "Our brand is toxic in so many places, and it is like, 'you are a Democrat?' That's the stuff we get in Ohio. We need a complete reboot. We need a complete reboot with the DNC . We need a complete rebranding," Ryan continued. "People want to trust us. They don't want to go to Donald Trump. I'm telling you, the middle-of-the-road people, they're holding their nose to vote for him, but we did not give them enough, like, we are reindustrializing, we are talking about American competitiveness." There has been division among Democrats on how to handle the cryptocurrency industry with some seeing it as innovative and others viewing it as a source of scams. Ryan continued: "We are moderate on things like natural gas in western PA which ended up being a big issue that we can't be for natural gas displacing coal. We are in a big fight with the crypto industry. What are we doing? Why are we in a fight with crypto right now? We've got to get back to the bread-and-butter policies." Newsweek reached out to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) via email for comment and We The People, an American unity group founded by Ryan, via email for comment from Ryan on Saturday afternoon. Ryan talked about the Democratic party getting back to the idea that it is the party of the middle class. "White, Black, brown, gay, straight, man, woman, North, South. If you're a working-class person, the Democratic party is for you," he said. "We have to lead with the economy. We have to lead with growth...It is about getting back to—it is the Bill Clinton campaign," Ryan said. Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign in 1992 focused on domestic policy, specifically, increasing jobs and economic growth. Democratic political strategist James Carville, who rose to national prominence working on the 1992 Clinton campaign famously said, "It's the economy, stupid." On a recent episode of his podcast Politics War Room, Carville also criticized the Democratic party , telling his co-host Al Hunt, a renowned journalist, "The damage that the 2024 campaign has done—the damage that this decade has done to a Democratic brand is almost unfathomable."After a week of rumours and misinformation, Kelowna RCMP have set the record straight about a video that's recently gone viral. A video has been circulating various social media sites showing a woman yelling in a local convenience store and along with her dog, who aggressively barked at the store attendants. Someone in the store who was "trying to buy a sandwich" filmed the whole incident. According to RCMP, the incident took place over a year ago, on Sept. 19, 2023 at the Canco gas station in the 1100-block of Ethel Street. "Officers attended where it was determined an unknown female attacked two store employees and attempted to coerce her dog into biting them," said Kelowna RCMP in a press release. The incident was captured on cell phone video which was provided to police at the time. The next day, the woman was found and arrested for assault. She was released with an undertaking scheduled for court at a later date. Just over a month later, RCMP concluded their investigation at the request of the victims affected because the woman had never returned to the store and one of the victims no longer lives in the province. “For reasons unknown, this video only recently surfaced on social media over a year after the incident was reported and investigated by police,” RCMP media relations officer Cpl. Michael Gauthier. “In this particular case, when the victims of the offence(s) are no longer interested in pursuing charges, we are obligated to cancel the Undertaking and conclude the matter as is.” The video can be found here.The problem wasn’t money for Democrats

Trump Threatens 100 Percent Tariffs On Any ‘BRICS’ Nation That Abandons US DollarAnthony Albanese supports a very tongue-in-cheek suggestion that tech giants will comply with an under-16s social media ban if the government coughs up $1000 per child kicked off each platform. Last week, federal parliament passed a world-first ban on children under-16 from having social media accounts. The Prime Minister spoke to radio station NovaFM on Tuesday morning, receiving praise from the show hosts, who suggested pushback from the tech companies could be averted by cash incentives. “TikTok, in particular, they recognised 76 million people last year that were underage. They have the technology to do it,” radio host Michael Wipfli said. “If we, for example, hypothetical, said to Meta ‘hey we’re going to give you $1000 for identifying every person under the age of 16’, how’d you reckon they’d go? I reckon they’d be pretty good at it,” Wipfli said. “That’s exactly right,” Mr Albanese said. “Well, we’ve given them a financial incentive to get this right as well because we want to make sure that the obligations were on the social media companies, not on parents.” Under the new laws, social media companies like Meta, which owns Instagram and Facebook, is required to prevent under-16s from using their services. Failing to comply brings the prospect of a $50m fine when the ban becomes active in no less than 12 months. The Australian Human Rights Commission and Meta both said the legislation was rushed. Meta also tried to suggest there was a “lack of evidence” to suggest social media had a causal link with children’s mental health. UK technology secretary Peter Kyle told the BBC the British government was in contact with Australian counterparts and considering similar laws. “As you’d expect, I’m really interested in what they’re doing, why they’re doing it, and the evidence they’re basing it on,” he said.

Love Island star Tasha Ghouri topped the leaderboard once more last week on Strictly Come Dancing - and shows no signs of backing down. The 26-year-old earned a near perfect 39 points for her Paso Doble with Aljaz Skorjanec to Nathan Lanier's Torn, which judge Motsi Mabuse branded the "dance of the night". The reality TV contestant faces stiff competition if she wants to lift the Glitterball Trophy - Miranda star Sarah Hadland joined her on top of the leader board thanks to her couple's choice routine to Kylie Minogue's banger Padam Padam. Comedian Chris McCausland is also consistently good, earning 37 points for his dreamy American Smooth this week. But you wouldn't bet against Tasha as the determined star has overcome serious adversity to achieve success and has been forced to hit back at the cruel online trolls for targeting her due to her disability. Tasha responded in the best possible way, telling the Sun : "I'm in my slay era. This era is payback, proving everyone wrong. "A lot of people doubted me and a lot of people didn't think I'd get far at all. This is the moment I can show I never stopped believing in myself, it's got me to where I am now." Tasha's time on the dance contestant comes three years after Rose Ayling-Ellis became Strictly's deaf contestant, going onto lift the Glitterball Trophy. The reality star from Yorkshire was born deaf too and uses a cochlear implant, prompting mean social media users to make videos about the way she speaks. "When I came off Love Island , I had to deal with a lot of people saying stuff about my voice, people tweeting about ripping out my cochlear implant and throwing it in the pool," said Tasha. "Being brutally honest, there were two girls on TikTok and I still remember to this day, they took the mickey out of my voice and that went viral. It's still not been taken down." After her stint on Love Island as the first deaf contestant, Tasha vowed not to let the trolls win and today, she has 2.2 million followers across her social media platforms. "For the younger Tashas out there that struggle with self confidence, self love or just trying to accept their disability, I want to be that voice to show them it doesn’t define who you are," she said. Offscreen, Tasha is loved up with Love Island's Andrew Le Page , 29. The couple live together, have matching tattoos and own a dog together, with marriage on the cards in the future. "Andrew's the man I'm going to marry at some point," the star told the Sunday Times .SHELTON, Conn. , Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- William Raveis , the Inman -awarded Top Brokerage in the U.S. (2023), and the number one privately held real estate company in the Northeast, Florida , and South Carolina is proud to announce the strategic partnership with Town & Country Real Estate (T&C), a luxury brokerage serving the East End of Long Island , New York since 2005.

The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index is up 9.5% in 2024, trading just below a record reached earlier this month. Technology and financial stocks have led the advance, with a banking gauge set for its best year since 2009. In contrast, mining and energy shares have slumped on soft commodity prices. Read: Australia Stocks Growth Fueled by Haven Status, Fiscal Spend The landscape may shift next year as investors pile into resources shares and other sectors tied to China’s stimulus push. Meanwhile, the expected monetary policy easing may squeeze lenders’ net interest rate margins and cap gains for financial stocks. “Positive equity market returns are expected in 2025, though more moderate than in 2024,” said Anna Milne, senior analyst at Wilson Asset Management in Sydney. When “China’s stimulus effects begin to unfold, there is potential for a sharp rotation from banks to miners.” Milne said she plans to take a more defensive stance at the start of year, anticipating escalating trade tensions after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. She then intends to shift toward more cyclical sectors as the global growth outlook becomes clearer. Here’s a look at some notable moves in 2024: Sky-High Banks The nation’s banking shares stood out after a sectoral gauge rose more than 30% in 2024, the most in 15 years, on higher-for-longer interest rates. Now, with the Reserve Bank of Australia set to cut rates, they could face earnings risks from compressed net interest margins — a key metric of profitability — and increased competition. The country’s lenders are also among the most expensive in the world, with the banking gauge trading at a price-to-earnings ratio that tops their global peers, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. “China stimulus and sector rotation is a risk for bank multiples in 2025, although their reputation for predictable and stable dividends and capital return does make the banks somewhat defensive,” said UBS Group AG analyst John Storey. Key stock moves: Commonwealth Bank of Australia +43%, Westpac +44%, NAB +24%, ANZ Group +13% Resources Rotation Beijing’s vow to increase government spending will likely benefit Australian resources stocks. A measure of local mining shares is on track for the worst year since 2015, as China’s property slump drags on commodities. “As the market awaits visibility on tariff risk versus China stimulus benefits, we see opportunities for exposure to resources,” Morgan Stanley analysts including Rahul Anand wrote in a Dec. 15 note. “Despite higher-than-normal iron ore inventories, steel inventories in China remain lower than 2019 levels creating iron ore restock opportunity,” they wrote, preferring BHP Group Ltd. over rival Rio Tinto Ltd. However, a sustained mining rally will require more details on the stimulus measures, according to David Cassidy, head of investment strategy at Wilsons Advisory. Key stock moves: BHP -20%, Rio Tinto -13%, Fortescue Metals Group -36%, Champion Iron -33%, Mineral Resources -51% Re-Energized Sluggish oil and gas prices have weighed on Australia’s energy stocks, but the tide may be turning. The local energy sub-gauge’s 22% slide has made it the worst-performing sector this year, driven largely by gas project delays. Woodside Energy Ltd. and Santos Ltd. may be supported by higher liquefied natural gas prices in the longer term as a result of Trump’s tariff and energy policies. Key stock moves: Woodside Energy Group -24%, Santos -15%, Karoon Energy -37% Scandal-Fueled Slumps Accusations of operational or ethical failures rattled stock prices across Australia’s equity market.

Similarly, Mineral Resources Ltd.’s shares plunged after founder Chris Ellison faced allegations of tax evasion. Key stock moves: WiseTech Global +61%, Mineral Resources -51%, Tabcorp Holdings -29%, Star Entertainment -60%, Woolworths Group -16%, Coles Group +16% Qantas, Zip Standout Australia’s national carrier, Qantas Airways Ltd., is among the top-performing airline stocks in Asia, and is set to extend its climb on weaker fuel prices. Additionally, digital payments firm Zip Co. has emerged as the sector’s biggest gainer globally, soaring over 350%. Surging US demand has buoyed Zip thanks to falling interest rates and a focus on curbing costs — trends that analysts expect to continue into 2025. Key stock moves: Zip +391%, Qantas +72%

He shared these views while addressing the PMLN workers at Chak 120/SB on Sunday. The event was attended by various notables, including PMLN Sillanwali Tehsil Youth Coordinator Rana Kaleem, Social Media In-charge Rana Tehseen and others. The minister said that the Pakistan Tehreek-eInsaf (PTI) was doing the politics of hatred in the country. He said that the Punjab government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, was launching public-friendly initiatives to make the province prosperous and developed. Munawar Ghous said he had made clear to officers to make sure transparency in providing Zakat to deserving people. All-out effort would be made to make PP-78 a developed constituency, he added.
Mumbai: In a major step into the murder probe of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Baba Siddique, the Mumbai Police declared gangster Anmol Bishnoi a ‘wanted accused’ and slapped the draconian Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) against 26 others involved in the killing, here on Saturday. Police officials said that while 26 accused including three sharp shooters have been arrested, they are on the lookout for three other fugitives including Anmol Bishnoi – the younger brother of jailed mafia leader Lawrence Bishnoi. “The provisions of the MCOCA, 1999, have been invoked in this (Siddique murder) case. The investigation is ongoing. As of now, 26 accused have been arrested, while three accused – Anmol Bishnoi, Shubham Rameshwar Lonkar, and Zishan Mohammad Akhtar — are wanted accused in the case,” police officials said on Saturday. Anmol Bishnoi, 26, who was holed up in the US, was detained last fortnight and later arrested by the local US law enforcers. He is currently cooling his heels in custody at the Pottawattamie County Jail in Iowa State. On October 12, Siddique (66), a senior NCP leader and ex-Congress Minister having close links with Bollywood and business circles, was shot dead outside his son Zeeshan Siddique’s office in Bandra East, at the height of the Dassehra Day celebrations, sparking a national political furore. Initially, the Nirmal Nagar Police Station registered an FIR on the incident, and subsequently, the Crime Branch-CID also entered the investigations given the political implications ahead of the just-concluded November 20 Maharashtra Assembly elections. Probing the case, the Mumbai Police have arrested 26 accused in an ongoing operation spread across several districts of the state and other states. The police had filed the case under BNS Sections 103(1), 109, 125, and 3(5), read with Sections 3, 5, 25, and 27 of the Arms Act and Sections 37 and 135 of the Maharashtra Police Act (MPA), and now additional charges under MCOCA. The police have so far seized five weapons and 64 bullets from the accused, who include three sharpshooters, assigned the task of eliminating Siddique or his son Zeeshan B. Siddique. Lawyers explained that confessions made before the police under MCOCA are admissible as evidence in the court and it is difficult to retract them or secure bail. Besides the Siddique killing, the Bishnois have also been allegedly involved in the multiple death threats to Bollywood legend Salim Khan and his actor son Salman Khan, besides a firing carried out at their Bandra home on April 14.Jeddah: Punjab Kings have bagged Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell for Rs 4.20 crore in the IPL 2025 Auction here at the Abadi Al Johar Arena in Jeddah on Sunday. Sunrisers Hyderabad offered the initial bid for Maxwell before being joined by Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings. But in the end, Punjab emerged as a front-runner with Royal Challengers Bengaluru denying to exercise their Right to Match (RTM) option. The Mohali-based franchise added Maxwell as their fifth signing of the day. Maxwell, who played for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the last season, started his IPL career with Delhi Capitals (then Delhi Daredevils) in 2012 before playing for Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab, eventually joining the RCB. The 36-year-old has featured in 134 IPL matches, amassing 2,771 runs at an impressive strike rate of 156.73. With the ball, Maxwell has taken 37 wickets at an economy rate of 8.28. In other notable purchases, Punjab Kings secured Shreyas Iyer for a record-breaking Rs 26.75 crore. They bagged Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis for Rs 11 crore. They also invested heavily in Arshdeep Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal, acquiring both for Rs 18 crore each. Another Australian allrounder Mitchell Marsh was bagged by Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 3.40 cr. Lucknow made the record-breaking signing of India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant for an astronomical price of Rs 27 crore while the franchise also signed South Africa white-ball captain Aiden Markram at the base price of Rs 2 crore.

Moreover, Zelensky's government has expressed doubts about the sincerity of Russia's commitment to upholding a lasting ceasefire. The conflict in eastern Ukraine has been marked by numerous violations of ceasefire agreements, with both sides blaming each other for the escalation of hostilities. Zelensky is keenly aware of the challenges inherent in reaching a sustainable ceasefire arrangement without a genuine commitment from all parties to abide by the terms of the agreement.Tokyo Musical: ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’

Fitch gives shocking projection for Nigeria’s naira, Forex futureThe search and rescue organization for Metro Vancouver's North Shore mountains is warning people to do their research after international visitors became stranded in two separate incidents while relying on hiking apps to plan their routes. North Shore Rescue was called in on Nov. 28 to rescue a man from Norway who the organization said "seriously underestimated the difficulty" of a route marked in an online hiking app. Rescuers were back on a nearby mountain three nights later for a "virtually identical" operation, the group said in a social media post. Allan McMordie with North Shore Rescue managed the Sunday night rescue of a man at Goat Ridge, a backcountry area behind Grouse Mountain. He said the man from France told rescuers he had not been expecting snow, despite two of the local ski hills opening with fresh powder last month. "All you had to do was look at the top of the mountains from Vancouver and know there's snow up there," he said in an interview. "To be in running shoes and not even expecting any snow was pretty naive." The man had set out on a marked route, then decided to make his way through very rough, steep terrain to a separate trail at significantly higher elevation. "This is rugged backcountry," McMordie said. "It's almost impassable." McMordie could not confirm which apps the hikers in both recent rescues were using, but said a lack of any marked route or trail reports is a good indication to stop and turn around, and in any case, trip planning should involve multiple sources of information. If the man from France had done any research, McMordie said he would have discovered the backcountry area where he was rescued is closed for the winter. In both recent cases, he said there were signs at each trailhead with maps showing trails and topography, along with reminders about key steps in trip planning, he said. Both men were lucky to have been able to make 911 calls, McMordie added, as service is patchy in the area and their phone batteries had nearly run out. Above all, he said hikers should tell someone else where they're going and when they expect to return, so that person can alert local authorities if necessary. "Absolutely nobody knew where this person was and what he was doing that day," McMordie said of the man from France. "If he had not been able to get that (911) call out, he would still be there." North Shore Rescue said the course taken by the man from Norway was "barely a trail" in the summer and "nothing whatsoever" in the winter, making for "full mountaineering conditions" at this time of year. He called for help after hiking for eight hours that left him "tired, soaked (and) hypothermic" as the sun was setting," it said. It's doubtful the man would have survived the night in the Mount Seymour backcountry if he hadn't been able to make the call, the rescue group added. The man had been staying in a short-term accommodation and had taken an Uber to the trailhead. Only his girlfriend in Norway knew where he was, and he was not wearing or carrying adequate gear for the conditions, McMordie said. Vancouver-based Stephen Hui, the author of several B.C. hiking guidebooks, said the rough, mountainous terrain steps away from urban Metro Vancouver and the extent of the snowpack in winter is a surprise for many visiting hikers. Hui said online apps can be helpful and often provide commentary about trail conditions from other hikers, but it's crucial to look at additional sources of information, including complete maps and provincial and national park websites. He said local authorities and outdoor groups have some responsibility for people heading into the backcountry, and there is room for more signage and education. Ultimately, though, he said people must be responsible for themselves. "We can't handhold everybody," he said. "There's always going to be dangers in hiking." This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 5, 2024.

The No. 13-ranked Argos swept Cumberlands (Ky.) 25-13, 25-23, 25-20 to secure their first spot at Sioux City’s final site since reaching the quarterfinals in 2021. NAIA All-American Sadie Giles and junior Bella Green paced the Argos with seven kills apiece. Bozeman Gallatin graduate Ryann Eddins totaled six kills, sparking a second-set comeback that saw Providence score nine of the set’s final 11 points to erase a five-point deficit. Giles produced the equalizing kill in that second set, then provided a critical one a set later when Cumberlands pulled within two points. Thompson, who entered play with over 1,200 assists this season, supplied 25 more in victory. Senior Ava Saiers, the Frontier Newcomer of the Year from Adams State, led all players with five aces and matched Giles’ 12 digs. Thompson and Taylor totaled 10 blocks and combined for eight kills. Saturday represented Providence’s eighth all-time playoff victory, advancing the Argos, the Frontier’s automatic playoff bid, to 26-6 overall. Providence has now won seven straight overall and improved to 11-1 at home. Final site play begins on Dec. 3 in Sioux City, Iowa.

Venlo, the Netherlands, Nov. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QIAGEN (NYSE: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) today announced the launch of two new tools for designing and ordering custom solutions that can be used to support microbial analysis of bacterial, fungal and viral targets. These new tools enable researchers to customize their assays and panels for use on the QIAcuity digital PCR system as well as on any third-party next-generation sequencing (NGS) system. They also build on more than 700 digital PCR assays that are currently available for microbial targets through the GeneGlobe platform at https://geneglobe.qiagen.com . The new products make nanoplate digital PCR (dPCR) suitable for even more microbial targets in applications ranging from wastewater testing to food production to analysis of human pathogens. With nanoplate dPCR, rare targets in low-biomass samples with high levels of PCR inhibitors can be measured without a standard curve and with high accuracy and precision. “The demands for microbial detection, tracking and scientific research can be extremely specialized. Reliable and accurate tools that can be customized give scientists the flexibility they need to outpace pathogens and accelerate the tempo of discovery,” said Nitin Sood, Senior Vice President and head of QIAGEN’s Life Sciences Business Area. “With the launch of our design tool for Custom dPCR Microbial Assays and the new QIAseq xHXB panels, we are addressing the demands of our customers. QIAGEN will continue to expand our offering of accurate, reliable and easy-to-use solutions.” The new tools are: Design tool for Custom dPCR Microbial Assays – The first-of-its-kind custom assay design tool enables users to design primers and probes for their specific microbial targets of interest and is tailored specifically for bacterial, fungal and viral targets. The design tool software is powered by a sophisticated and thoroughly tested algorithm developed specifically for microbial applications. Researchers can benefit from a user-friendly and intuitive tool that helps them quickly obtain custom assays with optimal sensitivity, specificity and accurate off-target prediction. QIAseq xHYB Custom Microbial Panels – Customers can completely design their own NGS panels, overcoming limitations of panels offered by other vendors, which are designed against a few genomes of a given target and thereby often cause large gaps in coverage. The QIAseq xHYB Custom Microbial Panels advanced algorithm enables researchers to design their assays against many whole genomes at once, allowing them to achieve the highest possible resolution in applications such as microbial detection. QIAGEN continues to expand its portfolio dPCR assays, supporting laboratories to increase their detection capabilities and improve their results. In September, the company added over 100 new validated QIAcuity digital PCR assays for cancer research, inherited genetic disorders, infectious disease surveillance, and other applications. These newly launched cancer and microbial assays meet the level of quality, multiplexing capabilities, customization, precision and sensitivity associated with all QIAcuity products.

President-elect Donald Trump said he is looking to pardon his supporters involved in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as soon as his first day in office, saying those incarcerated are “living in hell.” Trump made the comments, his most sweeping since he won the election, in an exclusive interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker. He also said he won’t seek to turn the Justice Department on his political foes and warned that some members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack “should go to jail.” On his first day in office, Trump said, he will bring legal relief to the Jan. 6 rioters who he said have been put through a “very nasty system.” “I’m going to be acting very quickly. First day,” Trump said, saying later about their imprisonment, “They’ve been in there for years, and they’re in a filthy, disgusting place that shouldn’t even be allowed to be open.” Trump said there “may be some exceptions” to his pardons “if somebody was radical, crazy,” and pointed to some debunked claims that anti-Trump elements and law enforcement operatives infiltrated the crowd. At least 1,572 defendants have been charged and more than 1,251 have been convicted or pleaded guilty in the attack. Of those, at least 645 defendants have been sentenced to incarceration ranging from a few days to 22 years in federal lockup. About 250 people are in custody, most of them serving sentences after having been convicted. A handful are being held in pretrial custody at the order of a federal judge. Trump didn’t rule out pardoning people who had pleaded guilty, even when Welker asked him about those who had admitted assaulting police officers. “Because they had no choice,” Trump said. Asked about the more than 900 other people who had pleaded guilty in connection to the attack but weren’t accused of assaulting officers, Trump suggested that they had been pressured unfairly into taking guilty pleas. “I know the system. The system’s a very corrupt system,” Trump said. “They say to a guy, ‘You’re going to go to jail for two years or for 30 years.’ And these guys are looking, their whole lives have been destroyed. For two years, they’ve been destroyed. But the system is a very nasty system.” Charges have ranged from unlawful parading to seditious conspiracy in the sprawling Jan. 6 investigation, which included rioters captured on video committing assaults on officers and those who admitted under oath that they’d done so. Jan. 6 defendants in custody include Proud Boys and Oath Keepers convicted of seditious conspiracy, a Jan. 6 defendant recently convicted of plotting to kill the FBI special agents who investigated him , another charged with firing gunshots into the air during the attack and another arrested outside former President Barack Obama’s home after Trump posted a screenshot that included the address. Trump said he wouldn’t direct Pam Bondi, whom he has said he will nominate for attorney general, to investigate special counsel Jack Smith, who brought two separate federal cases against Trump that were ultimately dropped after the election. Trump called Smith “deranged” and said he thinks he is “very corrupt.” Ultimately, he said, he’d leave those decisions to Bondi, and he said he wouldn’t direct her to prosecute Smith. “I want her to do what she wants to do,” Trump said. “I’m not going to instruct her to do it.” Trump claimed that members of the House Jan. 6 committee had “lied” and “destroyed a whole year and a half worth of testimony.” He singled out Republican Liz Cheney, of Wyoming, a vocal Trump critic who left Congress, and Democrat Bennie Thompson, of Mississippi, who chaired the committee, saying that they had destroyed the evidence collected in their investigation and that “those people committed a major crime.” Cheney said in a statement released Sunday that Trump "lied about the January 6th Select Committee" when he said committee members "should go to jail." "There is no conceivably appropriate factual or constitutional basis for what Donald Trump is suggesting — a Justice Department investigation of the work of a congressional committee — and any lawyer who attempts to pursue that course would quickly find themselves engaged in sanctionable conduct," Cheney added. Cheney called for the release of materials gathered by Smith during his investigation, adding, "Ultimately, Congress should require that all that material be publicly released so all Americans can see Donald Trump for who he genuinely is and fully understand his role in this terrible period in our nation’s history." The committee has preserved transcripts and videos of some of the more than 1,000 witness interviews and posted them online. Some interviews that included private and sensitive information were sent to the White House and the Department of Homeland Security for review to ensure that certain information wasn’t released improperly. Those transcripts remain with the agency, and the White House and a separate House committee continue to have access. “Honestly, they should go to jail,” Trump said about the committee members, insisting he wouldn’t direct his appointees to arrest them. Trump’s view of DOJ, FBI The interview offers an in-depth look at Trump’s thoughts about the Justice Department and FBI. Trump — who faced four separate criminal cases and was the first former president to be convicted of a crime after a New York jury found him guilty of 34 felony counts in the Stormy Daniels hush money case — expressed deep grievances toward the justice system but insisted he was looking forward. “I’m not looking to go back into the past,” he said when he was asked whether he would go after outgoing President Joe Biden. “I’m looking to make our country successful. Retribution will be through success.” While Trump had previously said he would appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Biden, he said that he didn’t plan to do so “unless I find something that I think is reasonable” and that any such move would “be Pam Bondi’s decision and, to a different extent, Kash Patel,” his pick for FBI director. FBI Director Christopher Wray — the Republican whom Trump appointed during his first term after he fired James Comey — would need to resign or be fired for Patel to take his place. Under a post-Watergate reform, FBI directors have 10-year terms, though only one FBI director — Robert Mueller, who ultimately served 12 years and went on to become the special counsel investigating Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russian interference in that election — made it that long. Trump said he wasn’t “thrilled” with Wray because he “invaded my home,” referring to the search of his Mar-a-Lago compound in Florida during the investigation of Trump’s handling of classified documents, which found boxes of records in the resort, including some stored in a bathroom. “I’m suing the country over it. He invaded Mar-a-Lago,” Trump said. “I’m very unhappy with the things he — he’s done, and crime is at an all-time high.” (Law enforcement data shows a “ historic” drop in crime .) Trump indicated Wray would be fired if he didn’t resign. Asked about a list of 60 members whom Patel proclaimed to be members of the so-called deep state in his book, Trump said Patel would “do what he thinks is right” if he were confirmed, adding that he thought Patel would have an “obligation” to investigate if “somebody was dishonest or crooked or a corrupt politician.” There are still more than 40 days until Trump takes office, and Justice Department prosecutors continue to press cases against individual rioters, but the coming administration change hasn’t gone unnoticed. On Friday, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan, stressed the importance of “ truth and justice, law and order ,” before he sentenced a Jan. 6 defendant to a year in prison. After he imposed the sentence, Lamberth ordered Philip Grillo to be taken into custody. “Trump’s gonna pardon me,” Grillo said as he removed his belt and surrendered. Kelly O'Donnell contributed.
