Thu, Jul 11, 2024 Muharram 6, 1446. Published:Fri 5 Jul 2024, 9:50 AM. Last updated:Fri 5 Jul 2024, 9:52 AM. A new initiative will help young Emiratis plan their weddings wisely and avoid extravagance. The Department of Community Development Abu Dhabi DCD on Thursday launched the Medeem Model for Women's Weddings, which seeks to establish a "new wave" of authentic marriage celebrations in UAE society. Stay up to date with the latest news.Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels. It is an elegant wedding model that considers the needs of the younger generation but remains true to Emirati values that call for moderation and humility. It also aims to create stable marriages and families while educating the youth on financial planning. These Medeem weddings are mainly derived from Emirati culture but they include modern elements that allow couples to express their personal taste "without exaggeration", said Mugheer Khamis Al Khaili, chairman of DCD Abu Dhabi. "Designed to complement Medeem's efforts to create new practices around weddings between young UAE citizens, the model integrates the traditions and originality of the weddings of the past, with the elegance of modern weddings," Al Khaili said. "It avoids exaggeration that can lead to great financial burdens and potentially impact a couple's happiness and future stability.". He noted that extravagant weddings lead to excessive spending and that young people should be allowed to enjoy a life filled with affection, love, and blessings. To benefit from the Medeem Model for Women's Weddings, prospective couples must both be UAE nationals and the husband must be a citizen or resident of Abu Dhabi. Couples must also complete a premarital programme that will be offered by the soontolaunch Medeem Centre for Family Flourishing. Upon completion, couples will then receive a Medeem benefits card. The Abu Dhabi Family Wellbeing Strategy, which was launched last year, includes a dedicated support function for youth. The Medeem initiative supports the vision of this strategy by equipping young people with the knowledge and skills they need to build a strong foundation for their families. ALSO READ:.

A 12court illuminated pickleball complex next to Dunn Stadium should be substantially completed early this fall. Eight contractors submitted base bids, as well as proposals for optional related projects, on June 10. For the last three weeks, county officials have worked with consultants from DLZ Indiana, LLC to review and evaluate all options. On Monday, the Bartholomew County commissioners chose to award the contract to Case Construction Inc. of Edinburgh. After a mathematical error was corrected, the base bid from Case totaled 510,852, which is almost 64,000 below the second lowest bidder. The commissioners also accepted a recommendation from DLZ consulting engineer Charlie Day that a separate proposal from Case be approved to provide site furnishings and amenities such as bleachers, bike racks and picnic tables. This proposal will cost taxpayers 62,366. But the county decided not to accept another proposal that would have provided concrete courts, rather than asphalt, at an additional cost. That raises the total cost of the project to 573,218. Costs are already running lower than expected. For example, the county is expected to save up to 100,000 by allowing crews from the Bartholomew County Highway Department to perform excavating, grading and other preliminary work. When bids were opened last month, the commissioners expressed surprise that eight construction firms submitted bids. It wasn t long ago that there were so many lucrative contracts within the private sector that local governments were pleading with contractors to submit bids on the less profitable public sector projects. But with eight companies bidding on the pickleball courts, the commissioners were openly discussing last month whether there has been a slow down in construction within the private sector. Day says he s hopeful that Case Construction can begin working on the pickleball courts later this month. He also said the contract will state that work should be substantially completed by Oct. 15. However, the consulting engineer said construction companies are finding it difficult to obtaining necessary supplies. And if south central Indiana receives abovenormal rainfall, delays might be unavoidable, he said. Nobody covers Columbus, Indiana and the surrounding areas like The Republic. 2980 N.

Sunday, 07 Jul 2024. Italian Conference of Bishops President, Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, left, listens to Pope Francis at the end of a mass he presided over in Trieste's monumental square Piazza dell'Unita' d'Italia, in northern Italy, Sunday, July 7, 2024. The pope is in Trieste for a oneday visit. AP. VATICAN CITY AFP: Pope Francis decried the state of democracy and warned against "populists" during a short visit to Trieste in Italy's northeast on Sunday ahead of a 12day trip to Asia the longest of his papacy. "Democracy is not in good health in the world today," Francis said during a speech at the city's convention centre to close a national Catholic event. Without naming any countries, the pope warned against "ideological temptations and populists" on the day that France holds the second round of a snap parliamentary vote that looks set to see the far right National Rally RN party take the largest share of the vote. "Ideologies are seductive. Some people compare them to the Pied Piper of Hamelin: they seduce but lead you to deny yourself," he said in reference to the German fairytale. Ahead of last month's European parliament elections, bishops in several countries also warned about the rise of populism and nationalism, with farright parties already holding the reins to power in Italy, Hungary and the Netherlands. Francis also urged people to "move away from polarisations that impoverish" and hit out at "selfreferential power". After Venice in April and Verona in May, the halfday trip to Trieste, a city of 200,000 inhabitants on the Adriatic Sea that borders Slovenia, marked the third one within Italy this year for the 87yearold pontiff, who has suffered increasing health problems in recent years. Since travelling to the French city of Marseille in September 2023, the Argentine Jesuit has limited himself to domestic travel. But he plans to spend nearly two weeks in Asia in September visiting Indonesia, Singapore and the islands of Papua New Guinea and East Timor. He arrived in Trieste shortly before 9:00 am 0600 GMT and was due to meet with various groups from the religious and academic spheres, along with migrants and the disabled. The papal visit is due to conclude with a mass in the city's main public square before he departs for the Vatican in the early afternoon. AFP.

"I was speaking to a couple of the boys and reflecting on my actual debut, being a 19yearold kid and going into that game," Frizell recalled. "I was only training with first grade now and then, a couple of days a week .. I hadn't played against men at that stage, so I was quite nervous sitting in the bathroom getting ready to play the Broncos, wishing I wasn't there to be honest. "I was quite scared to get an opportunity to play against guys like Darren Lockyer, Sam Thaiday, a few other players too. "It was quite nerveracking, but I guess I'm lot more mature player now. "I found my feet and I'm comfortable in the player and the person that I am now.". So he should be. As well as joining the 250game club in Sunday's clash with Canberra, Frizell has also made 16 State of Origin appearances for NSW and represented three countries on the international stage Wales, Tonga and Australia, for whom he appeared in 14 Tests. And the flinthard backrower should be around for a while yet, having recently activated an option clause in his contract for season 2025. "I didn't really want to go anywhere else," he said. "It was just a matter of letting the club know. I love it here. "It's been the best decision I've ever made, to bring my family here, to play my footy, raise my family and have the lifestyle we have here. "It's nice to be part of the team and the town for another year.". The 32yearold also has a "mutual option" in his contract that could extend his stay in Newcastle into the 2026 season, which could potentially lead to him passing the 300game milestone. "Who knows? I'm happy with 250 at the moment," he said. "But the body's good. The mind's probably the first thing that will let me know if I'm ready to give it up. "At the moment, I love my footy, love this club, love being part of this team. "Who knows? Maybe 300 might come along.". Frizell said he had been "living the dream" for the past 14 seasons but still had things he wanted to achieve, in particular winning a grand final. "I've been very lucky," he said. "I've been blessed to be able to reach this milestone.". Advertisement. Sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date. We care about the protection of your data. Read ourPrivacy Policy.

Protests over the war in Gaza have taken many forms in the past nine months, some peaceful, others quite ugly. Schneider whose 10th District stretches across the Northern suburbs is Jewish and a vocal supporter of Israel. He is, as a public official, expected to justify his votes and his views. And he has, even if those critical of Israel and angry about U.S. support vehemently disagree with his policies and opinions. The protest, however, did not take place at his office or on the campaign trail, Rather, it unfurled in the middle of the night in a quiet neighborhood. Masked protesters used loudspeakers, banged on drums and shouted out comments that police described as proPalestinian and antisemitic. . Their shouting alarmed an entire neighborhood, with Highland Park police receiving about 30 calls at 2:43 a.m. Saturday. In addition, Schneider s office said a red liquid that appeared to be animal blood was poured on the sidewalk. We must hold him accountable for the deaths of over 45,000 Palestinians in Gaza, the post in part read. If Gaza doesn t get justice, then you don t get no sleep,. . Apparently, his neighbors don t get to sleep either. The clamor and the chants left many shaken. And rightly so. Imagine waking up to find masked, shouting protesters steps from your door. No arrests were made. But the protesters promised to return. It s unfortunate that, instead of seeking a constructive dialogue with Congressman Schneider, a group of people hiding their faces chose to taunt and intimidate a predominantly Jewish neighborhood on the Jewish Sabbath in the middle of the night, said Caitlyn McNamee, Schneider s communications director. It s even more disturbing they chose to harass a community that is preparing to commemorate the second anniversary of the Highland Park mass shooting, a shared tragedy that was spurred by hate, she added. Protesters angered over the Supreme Court s decision overturning Roe v. Wade disrupted neighborhoods of high court justices. Schneider has that right as well. The rising death toll in Gaza is a heartwrenching tragedy. So was the Hamasled attack on Israel in October that killed more Jews in one day than any time since the Holocaust. Those concerned about the bloodshed have the right to voice their opinions and call for change as the peace the region desperately needs remains elusive. But frightening families in the middle of the night will do little to spur dialogue or change minds. It just stokes further fear and division.

Protests over the war in Gaza led to a disruptive event outside Congressman Schneider's house during the night. Masked protesters chanted loudly, disturbing the neighborhood and causing alarm. The protest included antisemitic comments and pouring a red liquid on the sidewalk. Schneider's office condemned the protest, highlighting the need for constructive dialogue instead of intimidation. It emphasized the importance of peaceful and respectful engagement to address the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

Recognition of the state of Palestine as part of a Middle East peace process is an undeniable right , Sir Keir Starmer told Mahmoud Abbas. The Prime Minister spoke to the Palestinian president on Sunday about the ongoing suffering and devastating loss of life in Gaza. Sir Keir also spoke to his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu, setting out the clear and urgent need for a ceasefire and the return of the hostages snatched by Hamas in the October 7 attacks. Labour s election manifesto committed the party to recognising a Palestinian state as part of a process that results in a twostate solution alongside Israel. A Downing Street spokeswoman said: The Prime Minister said he was pleased to be able to speak to President Abbas so early in his tenure, given the pressing issues in the region, ongoing suffering, and devastating loss of life in Gaza. The Prime Minister updated President Abbas on his immediate priorities, including securing a ceasefire, the return of hostages, an increase and acceleration in humanitarian aid and financial support for the Palestinian Authority. Discussing the importance of reform, and ensuring international legitimacy for Palestine, the Prime Minister said that his longstanding policy on recognition to contribute to a peace process had not changed, and it was the undeniable right of Palestinians. . In his call with Mr Netanyahu, the Prime Minister reiterated his condolences for the tragic loss of life following the October attacks and then set out the clear and urgent need for a ceasefire, the return of hostages and an immediate increase in the volume of humanitarian aid reaching civilians . He added that it was also important to ensure the longterm conditions for a twostate solution were in place, including ensuring the Palestinian Authority had the financial means to operate effectively. . Sir Keir also said the situation on the northern border of Israel, where exchanges of fire with Lebanonbased Hezbollah have been taking place, was very concerning and it was crucial all parties acted with caution . Labour s position on Gaza and its initial refusal to call for an immediate ceasefire cost the party votes and seats despite its general election landslide. Frontbencher Jonathan Ashworth was unseated by an independent in Leicester South in part because of the party s stance on the issue. During the Prime Minister s visit to Scotland on Sunday, proPalestinian protesters lined the streets outside Bute House in anticipation of his arrival.

Sir Keir Starmer supports Palestine state recognition in peace process talks. Discussions with Mahmoud Abbas and Benjamin Netanyahu urged ceasefire, hostages return, and aid increase in Gaza. UK's policy remains committed to two-state solution for peace. Middle East tensions and Gaza crisis continue.

NEW YORK TikTok and its bitesized videos arrived in the United States as a global version of the Chinese app Douyin. Less than six years later, the social media platform is deeply woven into the fabric of American consumerism, having shortened the shelf life of trends and revamped how people engage with food and fashion. The popularity of TikTok coupled with its roots in Beijing led Congress, citing national security concerns, to pass a law that would ban the videosharing app unless its Chinese parent company sells its stake. Both the company, ByteDance, and TikTok have sued on First Amendment grounds. But while the platform faces uncertain times, its influence remains undisputed and for now, arguably unrivaled.

ByGuest Writer. . Sometimes, it is not the major headlines that resonate most deeply, but the quieter, yet profound stories that echo through our lives. When I stumbled across a headline: Ugandan village celebrates its first clean water source in 90 years, in Kyegegwa District, it left a lasting impression. This was very touching considering the extensive efforts by the government and various organisations to build boreholes across the country to boost access to clean water and sanitation. This reminded me of something that has been on my mind for years: the crucial need for individuals to rethink how they support their communities. While corporate organisations play a significant role in community interventions, there is so much more that can be achieved when individuals rise to the occasion. The impact is even greater when communities themselves take initiative, creating opportunities for collaboration that lead to deeper and more sustainable change. The MTN Changemakers programme is a prime example of how individual and communitydriven efforts can transform lives. This initiative emerged from the recognition that Ugandans are exceptional dreamers and doers. They have consistently demonstrated remarkable skill, passion, and dedication, transforming challenging circumstances into opportunities for creativity and innovation. Last year, MTN Uganda, through its philanthropic arm, MTN Foundation, unveiled the MTN Changemakers initiative, to support locals and organisations deeply committed to making a significant impact in their areas. In the initial implementation of the initiative, 25 projects were selected out of nearly 3,000 applicants. These projects were provided with Shs500 million in funding an average of Shs20 million per project to ensure they could fulfil their dreams in economic empowerment, education, health, water, and agriculture, aligning with MTN s ambition 2025 strategy. The results have been transformative. For instance, MTN Foundation s support to Souls Rescue Mission, helped construct the first borehole in Kiikuuta Village, Kakabara Subcounty, in Kyegegwa District. This now serves more than 1,000 people. The village, established in 1962, had seen generations of its inhabitants rely on precarious water sources. Villagers stories tell of decades spent collecting murky runoff water along dusty roadsides or embarking on long distance treks to Nyakabiso River. Similarly, in Gulu City, in collaboration with Safe Water Uganda, MTN Foundation funded the construction of four new spring wells. These wells, strategically placed in areas like Pawel Central Cell and Lawiyadul in Laliya Ward, provide more than 8,000 residents with access to clean and safe drinking water, enhancing community health. This might appear surprising that the communities here cannot access piped water, but the fact is they cannot afford monthly bills, and the solution has been these spring wells, which are shared with animals. In Karamoja Subregion, the telecom company, in partnership with Tocau Karamoja, a youthled organisation, focused on empowering the region, and the Nabilatuk District authorities, has repurposed a former detention facility for suspected cattle rustlers into a youth centre to promote digital literacy and education. The refurbished facility now boasts modern amenities, including furniture, a computer lab, and Internet connectivity. These initiatives create significant community change because they tend to have a huge multiplier effect. These stories of transformation are powerful revelations that the change we want to see in our communities begins with us. The MTN Changemakers initiative illustrates that when local voices are heard and acted upon, the impact is not only immediate but also sustainable. It is, therefore, time for individuals to not only to rely on projects developed in boardrooms but to also take the initiative to voice their needs directly. Let the communities identify problems or challenges that need to be fixed, and solve them with local solutions that often require minimal resources but have a significant impact. This dual approach will ensure initiatives are not only impactful but also deeply resonate with the communities they are intended to serve. Onapito Ekomoloit is the MTN Uganda Foundation Board of Trustees and Corporate Sustainability Initiative expert.

H N I The supply of electricity will basically meet the daily demand for consumers and production and business in the remaining months of this year, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade. In July 2024, plans have been made for scenarios where there are prolonged spells of extreme hot weather and coalfired power plants have to drop output, putting the Northern power system at risk of having no spare capacity. In this scenario, the shifting load demand between peak hours will be drastically implemented together with mobilising additional generation sources from diesel to ensure sufficient electricity supply. From August to December, the capacity reserve of the Northern power system is predicted to remain low. Thus, power generators must strictly ensure the maintenance of the available capacity and equipment readiness. The power system in the southern region could face difficulties in case the gas supply for electricity production drops due to a halt in operation for maintenance and repair. According to the Electricity Regulatory Authority of Vi t Nam, close watch will be placed on load demand, hydrological development and power system operation to ensure sufficient power supplies across all scenarios. In addition, construction of electricity generation and grid projects will be sped up with the focus on the 500kV transmission line from Qu ng Tr ch Qu ng B nh to Ph N i H ng Y n to transmit electricity to the northern region. V Quang L m, Deputy Director of Vi t Nam Electricity EVN, said that they were also speeding up the construction of electricity power grids to increase electricity imports. EVN has forecast that the average temperature in July will be 0.51 degree Celsius higher than previous years. July is also a peak month of hot season in the north so the forecast is for high electricity demand. According to EVN preparations are ready for power supply security in case of prolonged hot weather and increased load demand. In the second half of this year, the power system operation will be basically ensured with the electricity output meeting the plan. Recent figures showed that the water levels of hydroelectricity reservoirs are equivalent to an output of 6.6 billion kWh, 1.4 billion kWh higher than the plan. Coalfired power generation is being maintained at good production levels. According to Vi t Nam National Coal Mineral Industries Holding Corporation Limited, coal supply for electricity production totalled 23.47 million tonnes in the first half of this year. The power supply is also increasing from renewable energy projects. In the first six months of the year, the total electricity output, including domestic production and import, was estimated at 151.69 billion kWh, 776 million kWh higher than the plan. Average daily output was 833.5 million kWh per day, 11.3 per cent higher than the same period last year. Vi t Nam aims to achieve a total electricity output of 310.6 billion kWh in 2024 to meet increasing demand from individual production and business in 2024. VNS. Copyrights 2012 Viet Nam News.

The recent revelation by the Mumbai Crime Branch regarding the fraudulent travel of numerous individuals from the Jammu region to South Korea underscores a growing and disturbing trend in global migration. This incident, involving the use of forged documents and deceptive practices to obtain visas, highlights not only the desperation of job seekers but also the pervasive network of criminal syndicates that exploit such vulnerabilities. The syndicate, active since May last year, managed to send at least eight individuals to South Korea, although two were eventually deported. The arrest of two Navy officersa Lieutenant Commander and a Sub Lieutenantalongside accomplices reveals the alarming extent of this operation. The involvement of military personnel in such activities is particularly disconcerting, indicating a breach of ethical conduct and duty. The root of this issue lies in the economic disparity that drives individuals to seek better opportunities abroad, even at the risk of illegal and dangerous means. South Korea, with its higher wages, becomes an attractive destination for those struggling to make ends meet here. This economic migration poses severe risks to the individuals involved and compromises the integrity of international travel and work regulations.The case also sheds light on a broader, systemic problem that requires urgent attention. The reliance on fraudulent documents and the existence of multiple syndicates facilitating such illegal migration point to significant loopholes in the visa issuance and border control processes. Authorities must strengthen these mechanisms to prevent further exploitation. Additionally, there must be a concerted effort to raise awareness about the legal avenues for migration and the severe consequences of engaging in fraudulent activities. The involvement of a diverse group of individuals in this syndicate, including a Punebased German language teacher recruited via a dating app, highlights the innovative yet nefarious methods employed by these networks. It underscores the need for vigilance and proactive measures in tracking and dismantling such operations. This is a stark reminder of the complexities surrounding global migration and the need for robust policies to safeguard against such malpractices.

Since the rise of Selling Sunset on Netflix back in 2019 which has arguably run its course there's been an array of different spinoffs trying to replicate its success. When I first started watching Selling Sunset, I was well aware of what I was getting into, but found myself hooked from the beginning. In true Netflix fashion, there are plenty of alternative shows which allow you to oggle at rich people's houses and it's safe to say you etiher love it or you hate it. I, for one, am a sucker for anything cringe and will watch just about anything that lets me escape reality for a short 2030minute window with plenty of snacks. Cue 'Buying London', the incredibly cringe British alternative to Selling Sunset. The show is all about Daniel Daggers who runs DDRE global, a luxury property company that sells big posh houses in London, Dubai, Dorset and Hetfordshire. He's assisted by his team who are basically all perfect including Oli Hamilton, Remi Nicole, Lauren Christy, Rosi Walden and more. Firstly, I need to talk about how perfectly pristine the whole cast look during their days at work. Naturally, this is far from realistic, but I couldn't help but stare at their gorgeous outfits and perfectly quaffed hair. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm fully aware that the majority of these shows are scripted to high heavens, despite trying to make out as if they are completely natural. But, this one, takes the biscuit. The 'drama' on set seems false and disingenuous. But the worst part is, I couldn't stop watching it. Throughout the show, we meet interior designer Juliana Ardenius who continues to flirt around agent Oli Hamilton despite him having a wife. After Juliana has batted her eyelashes one too many times, there is a slight altercation between his wife Avia Solomon, who is a makeup artist. Personally, this, if you can even call it 'drama', and a few pretty houses are the two main things that hooked me. I've read a few reviews for the show rating it an average 2.5 out of 5 which I personally think is a little harsh. Sometimes, a little escape with some bad TV is essential and, as cringe as Buying London is, it definitely takes your mind off things. However, I can see why viewers would get irritated by this show which is all based on the rich and "how the other half live". As far as Netflix shows go, it's okay to watch if you want to scroll on your phone, but it's definitely not groundbreaking. Just brace yourself for the awkward slowmo struts from the cast around the office which caused me to look away in embarrassment multiple times. This programme is far from 'natural' in any sense of the word and is definitely not for everyone. Receive the latest shopping news and reviews straight to your email bysigning uphere.

A new British show, 'Buying London', aims to be the UK version of 'Selling Sunset' with Daniel Daggers and his team selling luxury properties. Despite scripted drama and unrealistic perfection, the show captivates viewers with its cringe-worthy moments. The series offers a brief escape but may not be groundbreaking, appealing mainly to those fascinated by the lifestyles of the rich and famous.

ByChristy Pi a. Associate Editor. Scarlett Johansson,Channing Tatum,Greg Berlantiand more of theFly Me to the Moonteam celebrated their upcoming film at its New York City premiere on Monday night. The romcom follows Johansson s Kelly Jones, a marketing executive hired to sell the moon to America ahead of the Apollo 11 moon landing. When she makes her way to Cape Canaveral, Florida, to work her marketing magic, she wreaks havoc on launch director Cole Davis Tatum already difficult task of preparing for the space trip. When the White House deems the moon landing too important to fail, she receives an order to stage a fake moon landing as a backup, in case things don t go smoothly for Neil Armstrong Nick Dillenburg, Michael Collins Christian Zuber and Buzz Aldrin Colin Woodell.Related StoriesMoviesScarlett Johansson Gets Surprise Welcome to 'Jurassic World' From Franchise FavoriteMovies'Fly Me to the Moon' Review: Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum Can't Land Greg Berlanti's Unwieldy SpaceRace RomCom. WhileFly Me to the Moonis a fictional story, the premise of the film is based on an actual conspiracy theory that the moon landing was faked, and that theory was front of mind for the project s cast and crew. I think the fact that NASA was always going to participate in this movie to the degree that they did always made me know that we were honoring actually what happened, Berlanti toldThe Hollywood Reporterat the premiere. When you see the movie, without giving away the ending, you realize that so much of it is about why the truth is important. And so I think I was fine to take on an OG conspiracy theory, knowing that in the end, what we were really trying to say why the truth matters. . The director also served as a producer alongside Johansson, who brought the project to life with her These Pictures banner. For theAvengersstar, it was interesting to be able to play with that conspiracy theory in the film and the idea that there was an alternate plan. Just playing around with that idea, like throwing the ball around creatively, and then, of course, Rose Gilroy coming in to write the script, that was like the missing piece, Johansson told reporters on the carpet. She s such a playful writer. She got the tone immediately. The script was undeniably great. . Ultimately, the film is about a team of people who team up to make sure the moon landing isn t fake, explains star Jim Rash. However, the idea that sure, the government had a backup plan probably, he toldTHR. So it was an interesting twist on that idea. . DespiteFly Me to the Moonbeing purely fictional, Berlanti noted they used a tremendous amount of NASA s archival footage that had never been seen before, which was inspirational for them. There was also a NASA historian on set, whose job it was to protect the integrity of the space program and the reallife people featured. Nick Dillenburg, who portrays Neil Armstrong in the film, recalled an original line in which he said I gotta go take a leak. That was something the historian on set pushed back on because they wanted to protect the famous astronaut s image and not talk about him going to the bathroom. . As for whyJohansson and Tatumwere the ideal stars to take on the lead roles in the film, Berlanti shared that they really encapsulate the spirit of the movie. . Their innate goodness, their innate comedy, drama, charm, it makes you want to watch them and want to watch the story, he said. They re funny, and they re smart, and hopefully, the movie is those things too. . Fly Me to the Moonhit theaters July 12. Sign up for THR news straight to your inbox every day.

Months ago, Northwest Water Carnival Admirals Rachel Kohler and Jack LaBarre were given recommendations by community members. Jack and I started the year out early looking for our grand marshals, and paid attention to what people were doing in our community and how it affected the public, Rachel said.

Professor Daniel Frimpong Ofori, Provost of College of Humanities, University of Ghana UG, has urged organisations to integrate Corporate Social Responsibility CSR as part of their key operations and functions. He said CSR should not be seen as merely a philanthropic gesture by organisations, but as part of the organisational structure and functions. Professor Ofori said this during his UG inaugural lecture on the topic: "Of Indomie, Kalyppo and Condoms: An Intimate Conversation about Corporate Social Responsibility in Ghana". The lecture discussed the history, concepts and key drivers of corporate social responsibility and proposed recommendations to organisations, national authorities and policymakers.Prof Ofori said CSR revolved not only on what companies did with their profits, but how they made them.He said that went beyond philanthropy and compliance and addressed how companies managed their economic, social and environmental impacts. "In effect, it is about managing relationships in all key spheres of the organisation's influence, the workplace, the marketplace, the supply chain, the community and the public policy realm," he said. Prof Ofori said CSR had become more important as corporations were expected to contribute to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.He said as organisations worked to outperform each other along traditional measures of competition, CSR had become a competitive tool to derive advantage. "Corporate Social Responsibility has come to stay because organisations too have come to stay, leading to the grim realisation by organisations that they are required to do more across the entire gamut of their operations to be more economic, efficient and productive. "Therefore, organisations have no choice, as it is no longer a matter of 'whether' or 'if' corporate social responsibility is to be considered," he added.

Professor Daniel Frimpong Ofori emphasizes the importance of integrating Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) into organizational structures and functions. CSR goes beyond philanthropy and compliance, focusing on managing economic, social, and environmental impacts. Ofori highlights the significance of CSR in achieving Sustainable Development Goals and as a competitive tool for organizations. He stresses that CSR is now a necessity for organizations to be more efficient and productive across all operations.

A search for a state's worst food delivery driver is underway after the man notched up hundreds of demerit points and allegedly stole a motorbike. An arrest warrant is out for the French national, 23, byNSWPolice after the delivery driver racked up a whopping 385 demerit points. The driver's bad behaviour also extended to him renting a black Yamaha scooter from City Car King at Alexandria,Sydneyon March 21 and allegedly not returning it, reportedThe Daily Telegraph. The Frenchman destroyed the bike's 400 tracker so he could keep the scooter without being found while working for various food delivery companies. It was while riding the Yamaha that the Frenchman received hundreds of demerit points, police said. The rider was convicted of larceny and destroying property in June, but it was handed down without him present after he failed to turn up to court on multiple occasions. Despite the warrant, the food delivery driver has not been found as he keeps changing addresses. The motorbike rider always produced his international licence to police when they pulled him over. The 23yearold French national earnt a massive 385 demerit points since arriving in Australia late last year but police cannot find him stock image. The rider racked up most of his demerit points on a stolen black Yamaha scooter stock photo of a food delivery driver. Any infringement notice he received was sent to the registered address he used when he first came to Australia at the end of last year. But he is no longer at this address either. The Frenchman was due to appear at Downing Centre Local Court this week over the theft of the motorbike, but did not show. At the man's Waterloo address, provided on court papers, flatmates told the publication that he was at the police station. But police said the man did not show up for his required bail. The man's shocking driving record was discovered after NSW Police highway patrol officers applied to Transport NSW for his full record due to his continual offending. Police said they were not in charge of the demerit system and it was Transport NSW's responsibility, which also maintains point tallies. The French national keeps changing addresses and not showing up for court. NSW Police now have an arrest warrant out for the rider stock image of a food delivery rider. A Transport for NSW spokesman said it was 'actively managing the case' with both the police and Revenue NSW. Astonishingly, the bike theft is not the only one the Sydney business has had to deal with. A staff member said they didn't remember the Frenchman renting the scooter because they 'have about 50 of these cases where people steal bikes'. 'They come in here, some people don t even try and rent, they just steal a bike and go we give all the information to police,' the staff member said. Published by Associated Newspapers Ltd.

. An injured woman receives medical treatment after a stampede at a hospital in Hathras of India's northern state of Uttar Pradesh, July 3, 2024. Xinhua. NEW DELHI, July 2 Xinhua The death toll in Tuesday's stampede in India's northern state of Uttar Pradesh rose to 116, out of which 88 victims' bodies were lying at a local trauma center, 27 at Etah Hospital and one at a hospital in the Hathras town, confirmed a local administration official to Xinhua over phone. Another local official, Divisional Commissioner of Aligarh Chaitra V. reportedly told media that the death toll had "risen to 107.". The death toll was feared to rise further as many injured persons were admitted at various hospitals, out of whom some were said to be in critical conditions. According to preliminary reports, nearly 50,000 people had congregated at a religious gathering in Sikandra Rao area of Hathras. But there were only 40 police posted at the spot to manage the huge crowd, added the reports. Most among the killed were women and children who died after slipping on the wet ground and falling into a ditch by the roadside. The tragedy was said to have struck after the ceremony, lasting nearly two hours, had ended and people had started to leave. A religious figure was leaving the venue and people ran towards him to touch his feet and take his blessings. Suddenly there was chaos and people started slipping on the wet ground while running, and began falling on each other, an eyewitness told "Aaj Tak" news channel. News agency "Press Trust of India" PTI quoted an eyewitness lady, identified as Shakuntala, as saying that after the religious ceremony had ended, people had started leaving the venue. "Outside the road was built on a height with a drain below. One after the other, people started falling into it. Some people got crushed," she added. Media reports suggested that "callous attitude" on the part of the local administration and the police, by giving a blind eye to ensuring adequate arrangements at the venue of the religious gathering, had led to the stampede. Local resident Ram Asrey Dubey told Xinhua over phone, "For many years, the religious figure has been giving weekly sermons on every Tuesday in several areas in western Uttar Pradesh. His programs draw hundreds of thousands of people, but hardly any care is taken to ensure adequate arrangements." . .

Make no mistake, Ukraine is not alone, and the United States will never waver in our support, Austin said as he opened the meeting with Umerov. Alongside some 50 allies and partners, we ll continue to provide critical capabilities that Ukraine needs to push back Russian aggression today and to deter Russian aggression tomorrow. .

The Ghana Bar Association GBA has questioned the procedure used by the Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo in requesting for more judges to be appointed to the Supreme Court. This was after Chief Justice Torkornoo, in a letter, submitted five names to President AkufoAddo for nomination to the apex court. Among other things, Madam Torkornoo cited the heavy workload and numerous pending cases as reasons for the demand. The Ghana Bar Association also believes the procedure used by the Chief Justice is not proper. Already, several legal luminaries and the opposition NDC have condemned the CJ's action. Read also: Position of CJ in Supreme Court appointments very unusual Kweku Paintsil. Speaking toJoyNews, the Association's spokesperson, Saviour Kudze said the Chief Justice's action was irregular. "I think that it is just a simple mistake and that is the way I should think because I am not sure that it was intentional. These things sometimes happen," he added. Giving more details, Mr Kudze said the right procedure would have been for all the recommending bodies to come together, deliberate on the nominees and present the final list to the Judicial Council for onward transmission to the President. "What is done is that the three recommending bodies, the GBA, the Attorney General's Office and the CJ's Office bring various lists and submit to the Judicial Council. The Judicial Council will now send those names with an advice to the President and the President will now decide to appoint everybody on the list, or some of them or even reject the list. "Just that he also does not have the right to prepare his own list. He has to get back to the Judicial Council for the process to begin all over," he stressed. Meanwhile, the opposition National Democratic Congress NDC has condemned the Chief Justice s decision to recommend judges for nomination to the Supreme Court. According to the party, the proposal is unconstitutional. During a press conference in Accra, NDC General Secretary Fifi Fiavi Kwetey stated that the constitution does not mandate the Chief Justice to recommend individuals to the President for nomination as Supreme Court judges. He insists that the Chief Justice s letter to President AkufoAddo has no constitutional basis and therefore is of no effect. Nowhere in the constitution is the Chief Justice named as the one to recommend persons to the president for appointment to the Supreme Court. We wish to state, without any equivocation, that the Chief Justice s letter is illegal and of no effect. Her actions have completely turned over due process on its head and compromised her independence as the head of the judicial system. We are concerned about a worrying pattern that irresistibly suggests that the president is only appointing loyal members of his party to this court to have control over the judiciary to escape postregime accountability, he stated. The names recommended for nomination to the Supreme Court include Justice Afia Serwaa Asare Botchwey, the presiding judge in the ambulance case involving Minority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, as well as Justice Cyra Pamela Koranteng, Justice Edward Amoako Asante, Justice Eric Kyei Baffuour, and Justice Angelina Mensah Homiah.

Feedback. Authorphilanthropist and Rajya Sabha MP Sudha Murty hasn't bought a sari in 30 years. In a recent interview, Murty revealed her "100 percent no shopping policy" for over two decades. The reason? A trip to Varanasi nearly 30 years ago. When you go to Kashi, it's said you should give up something you love dearly. I loved shopping, so I promised the Ganga I would give it up for life, the engineerturnedphilanthropist shared. The 73yearold attributes her commitment to her humble upbringing. Her parents and grandparents lived minimally, which influenced her own lifestyle. When my mother passed away six years ago, it took just half an hour to sort her belongings she had only 810 saris. When my grandmother died 32 years ago, she had just four saris. They traveled light on this earth, and that simplicity has been part of my upbringing, Murty told Voice of Fashion. Since giving up shopping, Murty has worn only saris gifted by her sisters, close friends, and occasionally NGOs she has worked with. Her most cherished possessions are two handembroidered saris, gifts from women whose lives she changed as the chairperson of the Infosys Foundation. "I've been wearing sarees for fifty years now, and I always ensure they are well cared for. After wearing them, I air them out, iron them, and store them properly. I never wear my sarees so low that they touch the ground, which keeps them clean and extends their lifespan," she said. Murty also shared that her husband gifted her two simple saris for their wedding. I was so happy to have them. I did not want more. Even today, I struggle to understand seasonal trends and fashion collections. How long can you follow fashion dictates? I believe in having just enough for my basic needs. . In her maiden speech in the Rajya Sabha earlier this week, Murty advocated for a governmentsponsored vaccination program to combat cervical cancer. She also urged for the recognition of 57 domestic tourist sites as World Heritage Sites, emphasizing their cultural and historical significance. Copyright 2024 Living Media India Limited.

Grey Fades to Black. Diner Bar and the Grey Market are both closing on July 15. The revolving door of restaurants at the Thompson Austin hotel keeps swinging as its two anchor concepts by James Beard Awardwinning chef Mashama Bailey prepare to shut down. The last day of service for bothDiner Barand theGrey Marketis July 15. Bailey's two James Beard Awards cemented her first as the best chef of the Southeast in 2019, and then as anoutstanding chefin 2022, a national category. . We are thankful for our collaboration with Chef Mashama Bailey and The Grey Group for our restaurant and bar concepts Diner Bar and The Grey Market, said managing director of Thompson Austin Nate Hardesty in a statement shared via email. We are grateful for the Austin community and guests who have supported these culinary concepts, and we look forward to sharing more details on our new restaurant and bar concepts soon. . Hardesty implied that it was a mutual decision, stating that "ownership and The Grey Group have decided to part ways.". Diner Bar, aRestaurant of the Yearnominee in CultureMap's 2024 Tastemaker Awards, calls itself a "seafood bistro," and despite its moody hotel atmosphere, serves dishes in a wide range of casual and upscale styles, from shrimp toast to seafood towers. The Grey Market is much airier and more casual, serving diner food and hearty breakfasts as well as some grabandgo bites. It also functioned as a "community gathering place" and was closed semiregularly for private events. . It is not clear when the decision was made, but Bailey and her team attended theHot Luckfood and music festival in late May. It could be that Bailey was promoting the restaurants with the intent that they would stick around, or it could just be that the chef's connection with the Austin scene and her"buddy," Aaron Franklin transcends which restaurants she has here. Eater Austinreports that the Thompson is "internalizing" its food and beverage operations, and that the Grey team is focusing on opening a new restaurant in Paris. This makes for a total identity refresh for the Thompson's dining landscape. Called Arriba Abajo, the new restaurant offers some earthy but flavorful dishes and great cocktails, and is less partydriven goodbye, emails about huge poolside drinks in silly sharing containers. Judging by Diner Bar's strong online reviews and alwaysbusy dining room, Austinites will be ready to stream into any new restaurant Bailey decides to open, should she return to the Texas capital. Until then, they're in good hands with Chef Amanda Turner, who is not affiliated with either restaurant, but has similarly dedicated herself to meticulously crafted southern food at Austin's Olamaie. . Free Scoops. Birthdays and free ice cream go together like..anything else, really. Free ice cream goes with everything. The Museum of Ice Cream is hitting the streets of Austin on Saturday and Sunday, July 20 and 21, with free scoops for National Ice Cream Day. The museum is partnering with different ice cream brands in four cities Austin, New York, Chicago, and Singapore to stock up give away thousands of servings. In Texas, it could only be local pride and joyBlue Bell Creameries. Started in 1907 in Brenham, Texas 90 miles from Austin, this creamery has captured the hearts of many Texans, who still regularly profess it's the best in the country. Whether that'sTexas nostalgiaor specificrecipe techniquesit sounds like lines will be a healthy length that weekend. . The museum will park in a bright pink ice cream truck in front of Music Lane, the South Congress development that houses Aba, Soho House, Madewell, and other recognizable stores. Free vanilla and chocolate ice cream cups will be available until supplies last. Taking advantage of the many nearby stores, the museum is also partnering with the South Congress Merchants Association for a giveaway. Headed by Big Top Candy Shop owner Brandon Hodge, the associationprioritizes small businesseswith longstanding connections to the area, so Austinites can probably expect to see some local names in this giveaway. The release promises "dozens" of participating vendors. . The other three cities will get to try treats from Dippin' Dots, Dove, and Denzy Gelato. Austin is the odd city out in that the other three will all get to play in the "world's largest sprinkle pool.". Perhaps sweaty Austinites are not really missing much, anyway; They can always head to indoor version at the museum, which isn't baking in the sun all day. Other markets all have their own activations and museum membership giveaways, but it looks like Austin's is the best, with the possibility for local goods.

Meanwhile, the Museum of Ice Cream will offer free scoops in Austin for National Ice Cream Day, partnering with Blue Bell Creameries. Visitors can enjoy vanilla and chocolate cups at Music Lane. Other cities will get different treats, with Austin standing out for its local partnerships.

Despite this, he remains firm in his calls for change and has demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Gabriel Attal. Internationally, leaders such as Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, Colombian President Gustavo Petro, Brazilian President Lula da Silva, and former Bolivian President Evo Morales have all expressed their support and congratulations for the left s victory in France, viewing it as a step towards global progress and unity among progressive forces.

Aristide Economopoulos NJ Advance Media NJCINJ Advance Media for NJ.com. Happy weekend, everyone!. We ve had a busy couple of weeks covering legislative, regulatory and business stories in New York s cannabis industry. Let s take a look at what we wrote about. ReporterMel Hymancontributed a story about the first cannabis dispensary set to open in Woodstock stymied by distance requirements. Currently, there are no dispensaries in the town, and the one applicant with a recently approved license is unable to open because of a battle brewing between the town and the state Office of Cannabis Management over distance requirements to a house of worship. Woodstock Supervisor Bill McKenna made no bones about where he stands on the matter, Hyman wrote. It s horrible. It s terrible, the way OCM has violated its own distance regulations by approving a cannabis store site application within 200 feet of a church, McKenna said. We checked in with Paul Lepore, the president of Long Island dispensaryHappy Days, to see how business has been going at the shop since it opened its doors on Jan. 2. In its first few months of business, the store has been attracting a customer base that s older than some Happy Days partners initially expected, Lepore said. The shop s customers mostly consist of people over the age of 55. In a story about how cannabis rescheduling may affectemployer drugtestingpolicies, we spoke with three New York attorneys whose practice areas include cannabis andor employment and other labor experts about their thoughts on the matter. Among the attorneys, union officials and labor law experts who spoke with NY Cannabis Insider about the issue, some say rescheduling will make it virtually impossible to discipline medical patients for positive THC tests, while others say legal technicalities will maintain the status quo. Matthew Krupp, the cofounder of Canterra Western New York s first cannabis ecommerce platform and delivery service contributed a guest column which argues that a lack of guidance and communication by the OCM is threatening cannabis delivery operators. I ve struggled against numerous obstacles, the most pressing being the impending expiration of our Temporary Delivery Operator TDO license, which the state has repeatedly denied extending, Krupp wrote. We added a new entry to our People to know in NY cannabis series:Nicole N diaye, the CEO of hemp cultivation company NAHE LLC and founder of hemp brand Bossiee Budz. Lastly, we posted a new edition of attorneyJeffrey Hoffman s Ask Me Anythingsegment, in which Hoffman answers questions about the application review process, the most recent state legislative session and more.

The latest breaking updates, delivered straight to your email inbox. During a reactivation ceremony Tuesday in Fort Smith, Colonel Nicholas Ihde was instated as Commander of the U.S. Air Force 85th Fighter Group. The U.S. Air Force 57th Fighter Squadron was also reactivated. Both are now headquartered at Ebbing Air National Guard Base in Fort Smith. The fighter group and squadron were first activated during World War II. "I'm here to bring jet noise back to Fort Smith since it's been a decade," Ihde said. "It's rare to have the fifth generation fighter in your state or in your city. Fort Smith is lucky and we are lucky to be hosted by Fort Smith.". As part of the Foreign Military Sales Pilot Training Program, starting in December, fighter jets will once again fill the skies over the River Valley. Pilots from allied countries will train on the F35 Fighter Jet. Poland pilots are expected to be the first to arrive in Fort Smith by the end of September 2024. "Poland, Finland, Germany, Singapore, Switzerland, Chechnya, Greece Those are the people that have signed up to come to Ebbing right now," said Ihde. "It's an active duty mission on a National Guard base, on a civilian airfield, training foreign military sales customers with a city in the state that hasn't had fighters in over a decade.". During Tuesday's ceremony, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Sanders said the new pilot training mission calls for more than 1 billion in new construction projects at the base, and the economic impact is estimated to be 450 million annually. "The U.S. Army and U.S. Marshals rode out of Fort Smith to defend American settlers in the Wild West and starting soon, airmen trained right here in Fort Smith will fly out to defend American interests across the world," Sanders said.

Centennial, a souvenir prepared by the alumni association of Munnar Government High School in Idukki. Photo Credit: SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT. Centennial, a new book in the form of a souvenir, presents a vivid journey through the past and the present of Munnar hill station, popularly known as the Kashmir of southern India. The souvenir was officially released at a function at the Idukki press club on Monday. Crafted by the alumni association of the Munnar Government High School, the souvenir brings back the memory of a devastating flood that washed away most of Munnar hill station in July 1924. On the hundredth anniversary of the flood, the souvenir aims to recreate the memory of the flood. The souvenir republishes the writings of managers of tea plantations of that period, featured in the bookHistory of The High Range. Published in 1930, this book by Violet A. Ff Martin, wife of A.F.F. Martin, one of the first managers in the early Kannan Devan Hills Plantations KDHP, describes the relentless rain starting on July 15, 1924, and its severe impact on Munnar s plantation sector. A fourpage section,The 1924 Cyclone, details the rescue operations during the flood. The publication also explores how Munnar transformed after the flood. The railway line was replaced first by a ropeway and later by a lorry service. The Kannan Devan Company s head office moved from Mattupetty to Munnar after the flood. Mr. Babu also elaborates on the souvenir itself. The souvenir includes memoirs from Munnar residents former Tamil Nadu DGPs Walter Issac Dawaram and Lathika Sharan, and former Munnar doctor Sulochana Nalappattu. It features historical photographs of Munnar, from the first Kundala Valley light railway to the Munnar ropeway, captured by Param Jyothi Naidu during the catastrophic Great Flood of 1924 . M.J. Babu, president of the alumni association, explained that the souvenir offers a concise history of Munnar s past. Most of the new generation don t believe that a monorail service was once operational in Munnar hill station. Through this souvenir, we describe the past and the present condition of the hill station. It will provide a brief history of one of the first plantation towns in Munnar, said Mr. Babu. The souvenir also describes how a plantation town evolved into a popular tourist destination over the years, added Mr. Babu. At the function, press club secretary Jaise Vattappallil released the souvenir, and Munnar Government High School alumna and retired deputy collector K.M. Khadeeja received the first copy.

By Paulina Antoniak. It has been three years since the Taliban took power in Afghanistan. Since then, they have been systematically stripping women of their rights. Now, in addition, the country s ruling fundamentalists have reduced by 75 the salaries of the few women who are allowed to work. In August 2021, after the sitting president of Afghanistan fled, the Taliban entered Kabul and took control of the country. Women suffered the most, with their rights being regularly curtailed by the fundamentalists. From the very first moments of their rule, the Taliban began to introduce increasingly drastic restrictions, orders, and bans for women. In 2023, the ruling fundamentalists also banned contraception and ordered the closure of all beauty and hair salons.Afghan women over the age of 12 are also not allowed to attend school. As "Wysokie Obcasy" recalls, the UN Women's Agenda recently reported that the ban on education is linked to a 25 increase in child marriage rates and a 45 increase in early childbirth rates. The Taliban are imposing further restrictions on women's rights. As if that were not enough, the Taliban have banned women from most professional activities. Currently, they are only allowed to work in professions which, according to Sharia law, men are not permitted to perform. These include, for example, teachers and nurses. In recent days, a new decree has been issued, under which all female workers monthly salaries have been reduced to around 55 per month, regardless of the type of work performed, qualifications, or experience. "For many women, this represents a drop of about 75 compared to their previous wages, which had already been cut by about 50 after the Taliban took power in 2021," we read on the pages of "WO". Category:TalibanISISTerrorism,Women,Education,Taliban Restrictions Views: 191.

In the three years since the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan, women's rights have been systematically stripped away. Recently, the ruling fundamentalists reduced working women's salaries by 75, with further restrictions including banning education for women over 12 and limiting them to specific professions under Sharia law. This drastic decrease in wages is yet another blow to Afghan women whose rights have been continuously curtailed under Taliban rule.

. . Cruise ships are docked on June 9, 2023, in downtown Juneau, Alaska. Voters in Alaska's capital city could decide in October whether to ban large cruise ships on Saturdays starting next year. Becky Bohrer, AP File. JUNEAU, Alaska Each year, a crush of tourists arrives in Alaska's capital city on cruise ships to see wonders like the fastdiminishing Mendenhall Glacier. Now, longsimmering tensions over Juneau's tourism boom are coming to a head over a new voter initiative aimed at giving residents a respite from the influx. A measure that would ban cruise ships with 250 or more passengers from docking in Juneau on Saturdays qualified for the Oct. 1 municipal ballot, setting the stage for a debate about how much tourism is too much in a city that is experiencing firsthand the impacts of climate change. The measure would also ban ships on July 4, a day when locals flock to a downtown parade. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content.Please enable it in your browser settings.

New Delhi, July 2 :The Bihar government has moved the Supreme Court against the Patna High Court's decision to strike down the law introduced to enhance the reservation from 50 per cent to 65 per cent for Backward Classes, Extremely Backward Classes, Scheduled Castes SCs, and Scheduled Tribes STs in the state. The quota hike, brought into effect last year, was applicable in jobs and educational institutions in Bihar. The quota was raised by the Bihar government after it carried out a caste survey in the state. In a notification issued in November 2023, it sought to amend the existing reservation laws. Several petitions were filed in the Patna High Court challenging the decision of the Nitish Kumar government. The pleas contended that as per the law laid down by the Supreme Court judgments, the reservation can't extend beyond 50 per cent. The impugned law would have brought the quota to a total of 75 per cent in the state, which included 20 per cent for SCs, 2 per cent for STs, 25 per cent for Extremely Backward Classes, 18 per cent for Other Backward Classes OBC and 10 per cent for Economically Backward Classes.

Bihar government challenges Patna High Court decision on 65% reservation quota for various categories including SCs, STs, and Backward Classes. The government introduced the quota hike last year after a caste survey. Petitions were filed in court arguing that reservations cannot exceed 50%. The law sought to increase the quota to 75%, allocating percentages to different groups.

The UK Government will press for job guarantees in return for taxpayerfunded investment during talks with steel giant Tata over the future of Port Talbot. Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said he believes there is a better deal available for the South Wales site and the steel industry as a whole, as he confirmed negotiations with Tata were continuing on Sunday. Tata has shut down one of two blast furnaces at its biggest plant under its plans to switch to a greener form of production. Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds leaving BBC Broadcasting House in London, after appearing on the BBC One current affairs programme, Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg Jeff MoorePA. Unions are opposed to the changes, which will lead to the loss of around 2,800 jobs, although Tata has argued its restructuring programme is designed to stem unsustainable losses of more than 1 million a day. Mr Reynolds described the situation at Tata as a major priority and insisted the approach is not about underwriting lossmaking businesses but being a partner for investment in the future . He told BBC s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg: There is more money available for the steel industry under our plans for government. But that s about making sure we meet this transition with the private sector together and recognise it is a good exemplar of how we have to make sure that decarbonisation is not deindustrialisation and we ve got to do that together. But there is a better deal available for Port Talbot and the steel industry as a whole, I m sure of that. . Mr Reynolds added: I do want things in exchange for money we ll coinvest with the private sector around jobs and technology. I think that s a reasonable way to make sure public money is being well spent and I believe there are things, capacities, the steel industry needs in future that could be part of that conversation and that s what I ll be having in the next few days. . He added: I m going to make sure that job guarantees are part of the negotiation that we re having. . Mr Reynolds said he would not put a particular figure on the Government s aims, saying: Blast furnaces employ more people than some of the newer technologies available, whether that is electric arc furnaces or what is called DRI, so there s a range of things you have to understand. But I absolutely agree with the point that we have to make sure this is a transition that works for working people and that they re part of that and you can t simply give money out without guarantees in exchange for that. But there is a negotiation and I m going to have to keep a little bit of that information to myself while I engage with the company. . Unite General Secretary Sharon Graham leaving BBC Broadcasting House in London, after appearing on the BBC One current affairs programme, Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg Jeff MoorePA. She added: My main focus is jobs, pay and conditions for workers so I m going to either be seen as a critical friend or a pain in the proverbial, whichever they want to take that, because it s my job to make sure feet to the fire on this. . Ms Graham said the devil will be in the detail when it comes to a jobs guarantee on investment. The Labour manifesto has committed to provide 2.5 billion to rebuild our steel industry , with Mr Reynolds noting this was on top of the 500 million committed by the previous government. Tata has said it would make every effort to mitigate the impact of the transformation on affected employees and the local community. It said it had put forward the most favourable financial package of support it had ever offered, including facilities for training and upskilling, alongside finance for small and mediumsized businesses through the UK Steel Enterprise regeneration and job creation scheme.

The number of cattle on feedlots in Australia is at the highest it's ever been, according to Rabobank food and agribusiness senior analyst Angus GidleyBaird. Loginor signup to continue reading. He said there were currently 1.3 million head of cattle in such systems across the country. Mr GidleyBaird spoke toStock Landat the Better Beef conference in Ballarat. "This is the highest number of cattle we've had on feedlots ever," he said. "The interesting thing though is when you look at the number of cattle turned off feedlots, we are not breaking records in that space.". He said this was down to how the feedlot system had changed in recent years. "It used to be a drought mitigation tool or a bit of a finishing tool," he said. "A lot of supermarkets used it to get consistency in their carcass and carcass weights. "Now, we're starting to see the feedlot industry actually produce grain fed beef. "A lot of this is the longerfed programs, particularly those 200day plus Angus programs.". Mr GidleyBaird said this would be of benefit to any beef producer selling cattle into the feedlot market. "There's an increasing interest in that space for the longer fed program," he said. "That probably means that there is a lot more interest in the genetics and the growth rates of those animals.". He said such traits were being chased by bull breeders and if the approach suited producers, they should follow the market. Mr GidleyBaird said grain fed beef now made up about 40 per cent ranging between 3742pc of Australian cattle slaughter numbers presently. About 50pc of this grainfed beef stayed in Australia with cattle finished and slaughtered for the supermarket shelf making up a large component of this portion. The rest of the grainfed beef was exported with 80pc of those exports going to China, Japan and South Korea. He said these Asian markets weren't yet "firing" at the moment but the import trends were starting to look better for some countries. Mr GidleyBaird presented a range of export figures, basedoff Rabobank analysis. Volumes of Australian beef exported to China were up 30pc in 2023 but so far this year, volumes were only up 3pc. Volumes to Japan were down 3pc last year but up a significant 18pc this year so far. "There's a big shift in those Asian markets," he said. He said the markets had "large stock and inventory numbers" beef in the freezer. Mr GidleyBaird explained that this came following the opening up of Covid restrictions, where it was expected that there'd be a lot more consumption in the Asian markets. Importers in the market bought up large volumes of beef in 2022 and 2023. "I think in 2023, Japan had some of the highest beef stocks in the last 30 years, a lot of product in storage," he said. "That's why we saw volumes in Japan down last year, they were trying to clear that out of the system. "There are large volumes in the system that need to be cleared through. "Japan looks like it's done it but I still think China is dealing with large volumes in the system that they need to try and clear out.". . . Advertisement.

Australia's cattle feedlots hold a record high of 1.3 million head of cattle, with a growing interest in longer-fed programs and grain-fed beef. The feedlot industry's focus has shifted towards producing grain-fed beef, catering to supermarket needs for consistency. Approximately 40% of Australian cattle slaughter is grain-fed, with a significant portion exported to Asian markets, particularly China, Japan, and South Korea. Despite increased exports to some countries, Asian markets are still dealing with high beef inventory levels due to Covid restrictions.

The 2021 collapse of Sung Kook Bill Hwang s Archegos Capital Management was driven by lies and manipulation, a federal prosecutor told a Manhattan jury on Monday at hiscriminal trial over the 36 billion private investment fund s failure. Jurors heard closing arguments from the prosecution and defense in Manhattan federal court in the trial of Hwang and Patrick Halligan, his Archegos deputy and codefendant. The trial centers around theimplosion of Hwang s family office Archegos a spectacular collapse that left global banks nursing 10 billion in losses and, according to prosecutors, caused more than 100 billion in shareholder losses at companies in its portfolio. Hwang s attorney Barry Berke told jurors Archegos collapsed due to a series of unexpected events in March 2021, and said prosecutors have criminalized aggressive but legal trading methods. Had the banks not lost money, Berke said, we would never be here, Mr. Hwang would never be charged with a crime. . Assistant US Attorney Andrew Thomas told jurors that Hwang manipulated stocks and worked with Halligan to lie to the banks with which they traded. By 2021, the defendants lies and manipulation had ensnared nearly a dozen stocks and half of Wall Street in a 100 billion fraud, a fraud that came crashing down in a matter of days, Thomas said. Testimony in the trial, which began in May, showed that Hwang directed Archegos employees to lie to banks and trade in ways intended to drive up the price of stocks he had bet on, Thomas said. Hwang behaved as though the rules didn t apply to him, Thomas added. In fact, Thomas said, the two defendants made fraud their business. . Prosecutors have accused Hwang of secretly amassing outsized stakes in multiple companies without actually holding their stock. Hwang lied to banks about the size of Archegos derivative positions to borrow billions of dollars that he and his deputies then used to inflate the underlying stocks, according to prosecutors. Hwang, 60, pleaded not guilty to one count of racketeering conspiracy and 10 counts of fraud and market manipulation. His lawyers have said the case is the most aggressive open market manipulation case ever brought by prosecutors. Halligan, 47, pleaded not guilty to fraud and racketeering conspiracy. If convicted, they face maximum sentences of 20 years in prison on each charge, though any sentence would likely be much lower and would be imposed by the judge based on a range of factors. Archegos head trader William Tomita and Chief Risk Officer Scott Becker testified after pleading guilty to related charges and agreeing to cooperate with prosecutors. Berke told jurors on Monday that Becker testified to lying but not at Hwang s direction, and that Tomita had told prosecutors what they wanted to hear. Timothy Haggerty, Halligan s attorney, said in his closing argument that the case against his client relies on Becker s testimony, and that Becker lied on the witness stand. According to the US Attorney s Office for the Southern District of New York, which brought the case, Hwang s positions eclipsed those of the companies largest investors, driving up stock prices. At its peak, prosecutors said Archegos had 36 billion in assets and 160 billion of exposure to equities. When stock prices fell in March 2021, the banks demanded additional deposits, which Archegos could not make. The banks then sold the stocks backing Hwang s swaps, wiping out 100 million in value for shareholders and 40 billion at the banks, including 5.5 billion forCredit Suisse, now part of UBS, and 2.9 billion for Nomura Holdings.

Federal prosecutors accuse Sung Kook Bill Hwang of lies and manipulation, leading to Archegos Capital Management's collapse and billions in losses for banks and shareholders. Hwang faces charges of fraud and market manipulation, with prosecutors claiming he inflated stock prices through deceit. Co-defendant Patrick Halligan also faces charges. Testimony revealed how Hwang misled banks to borrow billions and drive up stock prices. The trial highlights aggressive trading tactics and a high-stake fraud scheme.

Andhra Pradesh s Transport Minister Mandipalli Ramprasad Reddy and his wife Haritha Reddy are under fire after Haritha allegedly berated a police subinspector for arriving late to escort her to a function. Haritha is neither an elected member nor does she hold any post, but was attending a function in Rayachoti from where her husband was recently elected, to distribute increased senior citizen pensions as promised by the ruling Telugu Desam Party TDP. There was some misunderstanding between us, someone told her that as per protocol the SI will accompany her but there is no such protocol, SI Ramesh Babu of Chinnamandem Police Station who faced her ire toldThe Indian Express. Due to that misunderstanding, she had to wait for over half an hour, and when I came to know I rushed there and she had an outburst. Later in the day, at about 3 pm, I explained to her what happened and we apologised to each other. It is not a very serious matter but the video went viral, Ramesh Babu said. As the Opposition YSRCP criticised the attitude of the minister s wife, Chief Minister NChandrababu Naiduexpressed displeasure while Mandipalli Ramprasad Reddy apologised for his wife s behaviour. This should not have happened and I regret it. I apologise and my wife has also apologised. This will not happen again, Reddy said. Haritha Reddy is yet to apologise publicly. TDP officials said that the CM asked his ministers to treat police officers and government officials with respect even if they feel that they favoured YSRCP when it was in power. The CM asked everyone not do anything that reflects poorly on the TDP Government and such incidents will not be tolerated, TDP leader D Narendra said. It is embarrassing when people start asking what is the difference between arrogant YSRCP leaders and TDP, a TDP leader said. Police officials said that Haritha Reddy had joined her husband in distribution of the enhanced NTR Bharosa pensions at a programme held at Devagudipalli in Chinnamandem in the newly created Annamaya District on Monday morning at 9 am. At 9:30 am, SI Ramesh Babu approached Haritha, seated in the front passenger seat of a vehicle with a salute. Is it morning now for you?, she asked to which the SI replied that he was in a conference. Your Circle Inspector does not have a conference but you have? Have you come to attend a marriage, do you not know to come to duty in uniform?, she asked the SI who seemed taken aback. The SI apologised three times but she kept on berating him in full view of several people, implying that he was not taking his job seriously. Did the YSRCP pay you anything? Who pays your salary? Why are you not doing your duty, I had to wait for half an hour for you, she said.

The latest breaking updates, delivered straight to your email inbox. A Clermont County man is headed to prison more than a year after he gunned down a local tattoo artist. Michael Guilfoyle Jr. pleaded guilty last month to aggravated murder and was sentenced on Monday to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 38 years. "I am deeply sorry for my actions. I take full responsibility for my actions. I know that my apologies will never be enough, and I don't expect your forgiveness. There are no words to convey my regret for what I have done. I am so deeply sorry," Guilfoyle said. In January 2023, Guilfoyle showed up at the Stay Gold tattoo studio on East Ohio Pike armed with a gun. He and the shop's owner, Brian Wilson, had gotten into a dispute over money. Guilfoyle ended up shooting Wilson multiple times outside the business. "I sat there with my three brothers at our house, and I got the call from my grandmother Judy. I have never heard what true pain and suffering sounded like until I heard her say, 'I'm so sorry, Hailey. He's gone. I'm so sorry.' I dropped to the floor as tears streamed down my face. Wilson's daughters, wife, sister, and mother all spoke at the sentencing hearing, calling Wilson a loving husband, dedicated father, and Marine. "For me, losing Brian has meant losing my partner, my rock, my soulmate, my best friend, and the love of my life," said his wife, Jennifer Wilson. "Our youngest son Ryker was three when this happened. He cries and misses his daddy so much. It breaks my heart that he loses out on having his daddy raise him and teaching him how to become a man.". Wilson's mother, Judy Wilson, was overcome with emotion. She asked another family member to read her impact statement. "The defendant is a parent's worst nightmare. The worst human any child should have or call father. A disgrace to society and to our country and should not be considered a Marine and does not deserve the title of a Veteran," Judy Wilson said. Guilfoyle also served in the Marine Corps. His family said he had been traumatized by what happened to him as a combat veteran serving in Afghanistan, and PTSD took control. "Michael is a kind, giving, gentle man that served this country. He's been through hell," said his father, Michael Guilfoyle Sr. "My love for my son is unconditional.". Judge Victor Haddad addressed the statements about Michael Guilfoyle Jr. suffering from PTSD and said if he was struggling, the last thing he should have had was a firearm in his pocket.

A woman from China has been arrested at a Vermont lake bordering Quebec for trying to smuggle 29 eastern box turtles, a protected species, into Canada by kayak, according to Border Patrol agents. Wan Yee Ng was arrested on the morning of June 28 at an Airbnb in Canaan as she was about to get into an inflatable kayak with a duffle bag on Lake Wallace, according to an agent's affidavit filed in federal court. Agents had been notified by Royal Canadian Mounted Police that two other people, including a man who was believed to be her husband, had started to paddle an inflatable watercraft from the Canadian side of the lake toward the United States, according to an agent's affidavit. The agents searched her heavy duffle bag and found 29 live eastern box turtles individually wrapped in socks, the affidavit states. Eastern box turtles are known to be sold on the Chinese black market for 1,000 each, according to the affidavit. Ng is charged with attempting to export the turtles from the U.S., in violation of the Endangered Species Act. A federal judge on Friday ordered that she remain detained. The federal public defender's office, which is representing her, declined to comment. Border Patrol agents first spotted Ng at the Airbnb rental in May when they noticed a vehicle with Ontario plates traveling on a Vermont road in Canaan in an area used by smugglers, they said. Lake Wallace has been used for human and narcotic smuggling, the affidavit states. The vehicle had entered the U.S. in Alburgh, Vermont, agents said. Ng was admitted to the United States in May on a visitor visa with an intended destination of Fort Lee, New Jersey, the affidavit states. Border Patrol agents learned on June 18 that she had again entered the U.S. in Buffalo in a vehicle with a Quebec plate and was expected to arrive at the same Airbnb on Lake Wallace in Vermont on June 25, the affidavit states. They then started to surveil the property. Hurricane Beryl has left Houstonians without power for days. Here's how they're holding up.

He embarks on a tour of the UK, meeting with leaders and emphasizing a 'government of service' for all four nations. Starmer promises to reset Westminster's relationship with devolved governments. He holds calls with world leaders, advocating for a Middle East peace process and humanitarian aid.

On Monday, July 1, three new criminal statutes came into effect, replacing longstanding laws. The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 BNSS replaces the Criminal Procedure Code CrPC, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita BNS replaces the Indian Penal Code, and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam replaces the Indian Evidence Act. Passed by Parliament last year, the government framed these laws as an effort to eliminate colonial remnants from India's legal system. "Their purpose was to punish, not to dispense justice," he emphasized. "The three new criminal laws are being introduced with entirely new perspectives and provisions, aiming to eliminate delays in the criminal justice system after nearly 150 years," Shah added. "At the heart of these bills are the protection of human rights, constitutional rights, and the right of Indian citizens to selfdefense. These laws will reflect the essence of Indian values, free from any colonial influence.". The BNS comprises 358 sections, compared to the 511 sections in the IPC. Consequently, the longstanding numbering system of numerous criminal charges in the IPC has been revised. For instance, the term "420," widely recognized as a catchall phrase for cheating due to its definition in Section 420 of the IPC, is now designated as Section 318 in the BNS. The new laws embrace modern technology, broadening the definition of documents to encompass electronic records such as emails, server logs, SMS, websites, and digital messages. This initiative aims to significantly reduce the use of paper in court proceedings. Also Read:July 1 Marks an End to Colonial Laws With New Criminal Laws; Know Which Laws have Been Replaced. Below are the new section numbers for some of the most significant crimes under the BNS:. While the government claimed that the new laws would modernize and decolonize the Indian legal system, some opponents contend that nothing notably new was added to the legislation, as the majority of the previous laws' sections were simply renumbered and relabelled. Because police, attorneys, and judges would have to learn the new order of the same old provisions, these rules might possibly cause a great deal of hardship, even though they offer nothing new in the way of reforms, according to the critics. It is also mentioned that, with regard to pending cases and offenses that occurred up until July 1, 2024, the previous laws would remain in effect for at least another two or three decades.

New criminal statutes took effect in India, replacing colonial-era laws with a focus on punishing offenders and improving the justice system. The laws aim to protect human rights, Indian values, and embrace modern technology. However, critics argue that the new laws lack significant reforms and may cause hardship due to renumbering of existing provisions. Previous laws will still apply to pending cases until at least 2044.

I like being Jewish and I married a Jewish girl. It's like a way of life and it's good to be able to instil some of that sense of being in your kids. "All of that makes me seem as though I am quite observant but actually the flipside of this is I don't know if there is a God or not. But one thing I am absolutely certain of is that God wouldn't care if you were Jewish or Christian or Muslim. "Shapps's political inspiration has long been Benjamin Disraeli, Britain s only Jewishborn prime minister who shared his Conservative beliefs. "He was very enlightened, Shapps said. He made sure that the working classes had the vote; and this was in the days before real enfranchisement. "Shapps s exit from Parliament comes amid a collapse in support for the Conservatives. A number of big beasts have been dumped by the electorate, including Penny Mordaunt, Education Secretary Gillian Keegan, Tory deputy chairman Jonathan Gullis and Chief Whip Simon Hart.

Agriculture Minister and senior BJP leader of Rajasthan Dr. Kirori Lal Meena has resigned from the post. Meena had sent his resignation to the chief minister Bhajan Lal Sharma on June 5th, but revealed this information to the media on Thursday. Denying any annoyance with the party or the CM Meena said that he resigned because he was disappointed. As you all know that despite tireless work, I could not win the seats for the party in the area of my influence. Day and night I fought for the people. But the public did not listen to me. Disappointed me, so I resigned out of conscience," said Meena. It was believed that Meena was not comfortable in the government and was annoyed with the portfolios he was given, but refuting all these assumptions, Meena said" I have no complaint against the Chief Minister or to the party. There are no expectations nor do I want any position. To be honest, I could not lead my party to victory. This is my failure and because of that failure I have resigned.". Meena said that he was in Delhi for two days as he was called by the party's National General Secretary but could not meet him. The state government has not clarified its stand regarding accepting Meena's resignation; however, two ministers have been authorized to answer questions related to Meena's departments in the Assembly. Meena has good influence over the Meena Gurjar dominated Lok Sabha seats of Dausa, Tonk Sawai Madhopur, and Karoli but BJP could not win any of these seats. He had said during the Lok Sabha elections that if he lost the seats for which he had been given responsibility, he would resign. Meena was not availing any of the facilities entitled to him as minister. He said that he had sent his resignation on the very second day of the Lok Sabha election results, but the CM refused to accept it. Meena has been given the responsibility of the by election on Dausa assembly seat, and he has assured to extend his full support to the party, but experts believe that his resignation may spoil the narrative for the party in byelection. Commenting on this political development Congress state president Govind Singh said that this is just a beginning. The central leadership of BJP is not giving time to Dr. Kirodi Lal, which is an insult to such a senior leader.

Rajasthan's Agriculture Minister and senior BJP leader Dr. Kirori Lal Meena resigned citing disappointment over failing to secure party seats in his area of influence. He denied issues with the party or CM, expressing no expectations for positions, taking full responsibility for the defeat. Meena sent his resignation earlier, highlighting he wasn't availing ministerial privileges. While the state government's stance on his resignation remains unclear, his departure may impact the upcoming by-election.

Court bars Rivers CJ from acting on impeachment proceedings The faction of the Rivers State House of Assembly loyal to the Minister of . . The faction of the Rivers State House of Assembly loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has formally indicted Governor Siminalayi Fubara, accusing him of infractions they claim constitute gross misconduct and abuse of office. The speaker of the 24member faction, Rt. Hon. Martin Chike Amaewhule, outlined these infractions in a letter addressed to the governor on Monday. But a Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has issued an exparte order of interim injunction barring the Chief Judge of the State and the Clerk of the State House of Assembly from dealing with Martins Amaewhule sled State Assembly. Amaewhule s letter, titled Resolutions Reached at the 1st Legislative Day of the Second Session of the Tenth 10 Rivers State House of Assembly, highlights several key issues. These include the governor s alleged failure to present the Rivers State Appropriation Bill, 2024, in line with Section 121 1 of the Constitution, despite a court judgement on January 22, 2024, by Justice J.K. Omotosho. Pursuant to Section 122 of the Constitution, the Rivers State Government under your watch is now barred from spending funds from the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the State, so the House hereby gives you the opportunity to present the same within seven 7 days from the date of this resolution, it said. Additionally, the governor was accused of breaching Section 1922 of the constitution by swearing in purported members of the Rivers State Executive Council as commissioners. He also allegedly violated Section 71 of the constitution and the Rivers State Local Government Amendment Law of 2023 by appointing unelected individuals to manage the 23 local government councils, against a judgement by Justice J.K. Omotosho. Furthermore, the letter noted that the governor has ignored the Court of Appeal s July 4, 2024 judgement, which it said nullified actions by the three suspended members of the assembly that are loyal to the governor and have been carrying out legislative functions. The letter said that despite the appellate court s decision, the governor continues to transact with them and has not stopped them from parading in their positions. The letter concluded by stating that these infractions by you on the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as altered, other extant laws, and judicial pronouncements constitute gross misconduct and abuse of office on your part. We call on you to do the needful and act lawfully without further delay. . The political crisis in the state, stemming from a rift between the governor and Wike, has divided the House of Assembly, with 24 members supporting Wike and three backing the governor. Sources close to the proWike lawmakers indicated that this letter is the first step in a planned impeachment proceeding against the governor, as outlined in Section 188 of the constitution. Efforts to get a reaction from the state government were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report. The Commissioner of Information, Joe Johnson, has not responded to calls and text messages. Victor OkoJumbo and others, CJ of the State and Clerk of the State House of Assembly and People s Democratic Party PDP as the second sets of defendants. Meanwhile, a parallel session was held by the proFubara faction of the house, led by Victor OkoJumbo, on Monday. They screened and confirmed Barrister Emmanuel OnengiyeOfori FrankFubara as commissionerdesignate. The house also opened debates on the Rivers State Emergency Management Agency Bill, 2024, and the Rivers State Transport Company Reform Bill, 2024.

The Heritage Foundation has compiled a 900page plan for Donald Trump's second term, should he be elected in November. It calls for sweeping changes to consolidate power in the executive branch of government, including the replacement of civil servants with political appointees. Behind the details is a strident rhetoric. Saying the rightwing think tank is "taking the country back," the head of the initiative this week added, "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be." The effort has drawn attention and criticism, and on Friday, perAxios, Trump disavowed it, saying, "I know nothing about Project 2025.". "I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they're saying and some of the things they're saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal," Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. "Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them." It's clear who's behind Project 2025; it involves many Trump administration members, including John McEntee, one of his closest aides. And the Heritage Foundation sent him lists of possibleSupreme Court nomineesduring his presidency after Trump said he'd follow its recommendations. Saying he doesn't know somebody who's received attention for bad reasons is a Trump strategy;Business Insideronce compiled a list of people he said he didn't know after saying he did, including Britain's Prince Andrew. Reaction to Trump's statement came from:Project 2025: "We are a coalition of more than 110 conservative groups advocating policy personnel recommendations for the next conservative president," says apost on X. "But it is ultimately up to that president, who we believe will be President Trump, to decide which recommendations to implement. "The Biden campaign: "Project 2025 is the extreme policy and personnel playbook for Trump's second term that should scare the hell out of the American people," said a spokesperson in a statement, per theHill. "Project 2025 staff and leadership routinely tout their connections to Trump's team. "Michael Steele: "How do you 'disagree' with something you 'know nothing about' or 'have no idea' who is behind, saying or doing the thing you disagree with?" the former Republican National Committee chairposted on X.Axios reports that Trump is irked by Project 2025 receiving credit in some quarters for its proposals. His campaign has its own plan, called Agenda47. MoreDonald Trump 2024stories.

The Heritage Foundation presents a 900-page plan for President Trump's potential second term, emphasizing executive branch reform. Trump distanced himself from the plan, dismissing it as "ridiculous." Project 2025, with ties to Trump's team, aims to influence conservative policies if he is re-elected.

Resident archivistAlex Myallexplores a time when protest turned violent in Cambridge, against the poll tax. byAlex Myall. Sunday July 7 2024, 3:26pm. . One of the themes which was drawn out sharply byVarsityin the 1990s is student protest and, in particular, the active and successful involvement of the Students Union in protests, the causes of which ranged from antiapartheid to local transport policy. In this case, CUSU officers were on the front lines of action against the poll tax. Thatcher s proposed imposition of a flat tax rate ultimately resulted in her downfall as Prime Minister. Feelings ran high and in Cambridge, this resulted in protests, occupations, and even the firebombing of the local poll tax office. Interestingly, this was another campaign spearheaded by students. Student protest in the 90s was a wellorganised force to be reckoned with . Students were reportedly asked to pay over 100 each 256.50 today for the flatrate poll tax, taking approximately 5 of the student grant at the time, with some estimating that it could cost students as much as 455, or 1167.19 today. A rally was held by around 250 students and townspeople at the City Council. They attempted to get Cambridge City Council to pass a motion against the poll tax. This protest was a success, despite the ludicrous claims by a conservative Councillor that protestors had been bussed in from Yorkshire. Vintage Varsity: Cambridge goes to the polls. In a ratcheting up of tensions, in November 1989, a City Council office was firebombed in an apparent act of political violence against the poll tax. The conservative MP for Cambridge at the time said: If people want to protest, they should do so in a quiet and orderly manner. The police never identified a suspect. Student protest in the 90s was a wellorganised force to be reckoned with, especially with the active support of the Student s Union. The Poll Tax alongside Thatcher was ultimately brought down in part thanks to the largescale protests against it. This column shouldn t be simply a history of student protest, but again and again the power and effectiveness of longgone and oftenforgotten student protest dominates twentiethcenturyVarsityheadlines. I hope that effective SUled protest will return, though I suspect it will not. SupportVarsity.

Students in Cambridge protested against the poll tax in the 1990s, led by the active Students Union. The proposed flat tax rate by Thatcher led to protests, occupations, and even the firebombing of the local poll tax office. The successful protest against the poll tax demonstrated the power of student-led protests in that era.

Christopher Hall s daughter Rebecca told the Central Criminal Court on Monday that the decision by defendant Owen Maughan to plead guilty to murdering her father does not change anything for her family, as it does not undo or justify what he did and will not bring her father back. She added: You took the life of an innocent and vulnerable man that had a brain injury, your murderous crime on him was heinous and barbarous and my family will always wonder why you did this. . Ms Hall said she had found her father s body on the floor between two chairs in their sittingroom and that he was lying on his back in a pool of his own blood. He was clothed but his clothes looked like they had just been thrown on to answer the door. I always think he must have only got out of bed moments before his life was taken. . Ms Hall said she planned to bring her father to the Garda station that day because Maughan had harassed him and stolen from him days before taking his life . The testimony was heard as part of an emotional victim impact statement read to the Central Criminal Court, where Owen Maughan was sentenced to the mandatory term of life imprisonment for murdering 65yearold Christopher Hall. The sentence was backdated to July 4th 2022, when he went into custody. Sentencing judge Mr Justice Paul McDermott noted today that when cases come before the court and a plea has been entered, the focus rightly falls on the victim of the crime and the consequences for the family, which he said he had heard so eloquently expressed in the two victim impact statements. He said Mr Hall was clearly very loved and he expressed his deepest sympathy to the family for their loss. The judge thanked the Hall family for their statements saying that they were very difficult to compose and they took a lot . Earlier, the court heard that Maughan has 39 previous convictions, 20 of which were committed as a child and 19 as an adult. Defence counsel Philipp Rahn SC, for Maughan, said his client had anger issues and was hyperactive as a child but was doing well until he was 16 years of age. He started committing offences, keeping bad company and started taking drugs, which became a real problem, he said. He said the defendant was taking alcohol and drugs at the time of this offence. Mr Rahn said Maughan had written a short letter to the Hall family, where he wished to express his remorse but that he appreciated no words on paper can make anything better. He went on to say that his client said there was no good reason for the senseless crime committed and he was not in the right frame of mind at the time but on drugs. He can t explain or put into words how sorry he is and he hopes one day he will find forgiveness, he said. Garrett Baker SC, prosecuting, told the hearing that a postmortem was conducted by State Pathologist Dr Heidi Okkers, who identified seven stab wounds on the deceased s neck, one of which had penetrated the right internal jugular vein. The pathologist also noted blunt force trauma injuries on the right side of the head and a fracture to the right orbital bone. Mr Baker said the pathologist was of the view that the blunt force injuries could have been caused by the handle of a knife. The prosecutor said garda became aware that the deceased s daughter, Ms Rebecca Hall, had concerns about Maughan interacting with her father before the offence. CCTV footage in the immediate area, the court heard, had captured Maughan at the deceased s house on three occasions on November 23rd and into the next day. Det Sgt Noel Smith, of Balbriggan Garda station, said the investigation revealed that Mr Hall was seen out and about after the first occasion, which meant Mr Hall was still alive at that point. He said it was believed Mr Hall was murdered by Maughan on the second visit that day. 2024 The Irish Times DAC

Rebecca Hall expressed that Owen Maughan's guilty plea for murdering her father does not bring closure as it doesn't undo the tragedy. She found her father's body covered in blood after Maughan harassed and killed him. Maughan's sentence to life imprisonment was backdated to July 2022. The court learned Maughan had a history of criminal behavior and was under the influence of drugs and alcohol during the crime. The State Pathologist identified fatal stab wounds and blunt force trauma. Maughan was captured on CCTV at the victim's house before the murder.

Elizabeth Shaddix was recently awarded the Chiquita Marbury Award for School Administrator of the Year after her sophomore year as Cullman City Primary School Principal. Shaddix was presented the award last month during the annual Alabama Educational Technology Conference. The award recognizes educators who strive for excellence in STEM education and leadership. Nominees are judged on innovation and creativity, impact on teaching and learning, leadership, teamwork and scholarship. Shaddix was nominated by CCPS STEM teacher Anna Anderson due in large part to the STEM initiatives which have taken place during Shaddix s time as principal. I was honored to nominate Mrs. Shaddix for this award because of her unwavering support and profound influence in developing our STEM program, Anderson said in a press release. Her dedication to empowering students and teachers through innovative methods and realworld applications truly embodies the spirit of this award. We are incredibly proud of her welldeserved recognition. . During Shaddix s first year as principal, she and Anderson launched the annual CCPS STEM Day where students rotate between nearly a dozen handson activity stations. Many of those stations focus on what Anderson has described as a crosscurricular approach with students learning about the relationship between colors as they dropped water onto skittles, or learning about the anatomies of the tortoise and the hair. Students also put their engineering skills to the test as they designed a house of toothpicks and candy that would be able to withstand even the strongest huffs and puffs from the Big Bad Wolf. I am incredibly grateful to have received the Chiquita Marbury Award. It is truly humbling, and I want to express my heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Anderson, who has made the STEM program a reality for our kindergarten through second grade students, Shaddix said in a statement. I am excited about the future of this program as we extend the STEM initiative into our art classes this year. Mrs. Stidham and Mrs. Anderson are working together to ensure our STEM program is outstanding for our students. This initiative is part of our district s strategic commitment to increasing STEMrelated opportunities for students to think critically and prepare them for the world ahead. It is exciting to celebrate the many wonderful things that go on at CCPS daily. . Patrick Camp can be reached at 2567342131 ext. 238. . Reporter. . .

. . Sunday, July 7, 2024 Law Society of Kenya LSK President Faith Odhiambo has refused to be used by President William Ruto. This is after she declined his job offer. In a statement, Faith, through the LSK, turned down her appointment to the public debt audit task force. LSK termed the task force unconstitutional and therefore illegal on grounds that it invalidated the role of the Auditor General whose mandate was to audit the country s public debts. According to the Society, it had thus resolved that neither its president nor any of its members would take up appointments or participate in the said task force. The mandate to audit public debt rests with the office of the AuditorGeneral. . LSK further called on the Head of State to refrain from seizing the role of the AuditorGeneral to undertake her constitutional mandate. According to LSK, it is unnecessary to squander scarce public resources by appointing a Presidential task force to perform the duties of existing public offices. "The Office on Public Debt Management, headed by a DirectorGeneral at the Treasury and funded by public money, should provide details of public debt to the AuditorGeneral for forensic audit," LSK stated. Ruto announced the appointment of a Presidential Taskforce on Forensic Audit of Public Debt. Among those named in the committee included Nancy Onyango who was appointed as the chairperson, Luis Franceschi as the vice chairperson, and LSK President Faith Odhiambo. The Kenyan DAILY POST. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

LSK President Faith Odhiambo rejected President William Ruto's job offer to join the public debt audit task force, viewing it as unconstitutional. LSK emphasized the Auditor General's role in auditing public debts and urged the President not to undermine this office's mandate. The Society called for utilizing existing resources, like the Office on Public Debt Management, for forensic audits instead of forming new task forces.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi s key ally, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, has demanded substantial financial support from the Centre to help reconstruct the southern State which is facing acute fiscal challenges and stalled infrastructure projects. Naidu s Telugu Desam Party TDP has 16 Lok Sabha MPs supporting the Narendra Modiled government. The contours of the financial aid estimated in aggregate to be over 1lakh crore came up for discussion at different meetings that Naidu had with Central ministers on Friday. Naidu met Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman at North Block on Friday and he had separate meetings with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, the BJP President, and Health Minister J. P. Nadda. He has also met the Chairman of the 16th Finance Commission, Arvind Panagariya, six other Union Ministers, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his ongoing visit to the Capital. These are crucial meetings ahead of the first Budget of the Modi 3.0 government in the third week of this month. At the meeting with Sitharaman, the TDP Chief presented a detailed memorandum on the State s precarious financial position and the rationale behind the demand for the Centre to handhold State Finances in the short term. Among Naidu s key demands are allowing Andhra Pradesh to borrow more by raising the fiscal deficit ceiling of 3 per cent of State Gross Domestic Product GSDP to the tune of 0.5 per cent this financial year, capital support of about 50,000 crore to build new capital at Amaravati, and a commitment of 12,000 crore for the Polavaram irrigation project. Naidu is also understood to have sought the Centre s support in Andhra Pradesh for the development of Duggirajupatnam Port. Naidu has argued for an additional allocation under the Scheme for Special Assistance to States for capital investment, targeting essential sectors such as roads, bridges, irrigation, and drinking water projects. The AP Chief Minister also wants support for the backward regions of Andhra Pradesh on the lines of the Bundelkhand package. During his meeting with Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, Naidu made a case for more oil refineries to be located in Andhra Pradesh. We will work with the goal of rebuilding Andhra Pradesh in five years. We will bring investments to Andhra Pradesh. The State has suffered irreparable damage in the last five years, Naidu told media after he met with Sitharaman. The focus was clearly on monetary assistance as the BJP has not parted with crucial Cabinet posts or the Deputy Speaker s post for its southern ally. We are happy with the ministers given to us. No posts were expected from the Centre no demands were made for posts. They did not ask for the post of Deputy Speaker they did not want to give it, said a TDP source. Naidu met with media persons before concluding his twoday visit to the Capital, his first after assuming charge as AP Chief Minister. Meanwhile, TDP sources said that the State Government will complete the permanent assembly, secretariat, and high court buildings in the next five years. Naidu also assured domestic and global investors that his government would make every effort to create a business friendly environment in the State. Interacting with the media at the end of his visit, Naidu also said that he will attend the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos to invite investors to the State and speed up its economic resurgence. On interstate relations, Naidu referred to an upcoming meeting with Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on July 7. We will work in the interest of both States , Naidu said. Comments. BACK TO TOP.

He s dancing to his own tune, one person chuckled, and another remarked that the big show would be starting soon. Later, McGrew, a 41yearold HVAC worker, put a large, lit firework on top of his starsandstripes hat. I thought he was just showboating before he set it on the ground, his wife, Paige Morris McGrew, told thePost and Courier. I didn t realize he had already lit it. . The firework exploded and caused head injuries that likely killed McGrew immediately. He was pronounced dead at the scene Thursday. We re traumatized, his son, Hunter McGrew, 20, told The Post Saturday.

The district has been talking with parents and students about school cellphone use for several months. Parents helped organize two panel discussions onmanaging devices in schooland thenegative effects of social media. During the discussions, many people said phones should not be allowed in schools. Now, data shows parents and staff in the district agree. Over 1,500 parents and staff at Ecker Hill Middle School, Treasure Mountain Junior High and Park City High School responded to the survey sent out in May. It found 85 of parents feel student cellphone use negatively impacts their child at school, with 51 strongly agreeing and 34 somewhat agreeing. Further, almost 88 of staff felt cellphones in school negatively impact students. Among respondents, 44 said they are not familiar with their child's current school cellphone use policy. Each school in the district has different rules related to the devices. Cellphones are not allowed during class time atTreasure Mountainor thehigh school, but they are allowed before and after school and during passing periods. Students are not allowed to use devices during the school day atEcker Hill, including during lunch. Treasure and Ecker have exceptions for phone use during class if a teacher requires them for a lesson. Holland Lincoln, a district parent who helped organize panels, said she prefers Ecker s policies. Going to school is just as much about socialemotional learning as it is about academics, she said. If they're not engaging socially and emotionally like presently with their peers, and instead they're looking at screens and engaging with, like, a virtual world, you really lose out. . Overall the survey found 85 of respondents both teachers and parents support a student cellphone ban at school. While there are different methods to keep devices out of students hands during class time, the district asked about one method: a locked pouch system. Schools across Utah are starting to use pouches likeYondr, which is a single pouch for each phone with a magnetic base. Once the pouch is closed, it s locked. It can only be unlocked using a magnet in a teacher s possession. About 74 of respondents believe that a cellphone pouch system would be beneficial. Teachers at Granger High Schoolare using the method and Lincoln said Park City School District should also give it a try. We should try all the things and figure out what works best for what age range, and then go from there, she said. Granite School District is working on adistrictwide banon cellphone use in classrooms. Park City School District also has anocellphone policy in the works. If the policy is adopted, students would not be allowed to use phones during school hours, but it s up to teachers and schools to determine how to enforce a ban. There are exceptions for students who need devices to monitor health concerns or for translation purposes. I hope the school board will support it, Lincoln said. I think it's still going to be challenging if kids bring their cell phones to schools and teachers and administrators have to police it. I'd love there to be a policy where they can't even bring them to school. But I think this is a step in the right direction. . The district board will vote on the policy at its meeting August 20. The community can comment during the board meeting or share their thoughts via email at communicationpcschools.us.

The district has been discussing cellphone use in schools with parents and students. Data from a survey shows that 85 of parents and staff believe cellphones negatively impact students. There are different rules in place at schools, but overall support for a cellphone ban is high. A locked pouch system is being considered by the district as a potential solution. Teachers at other schools support this method. The district board will vote on the policy on August 20.

Hezbollah on Sunday fired rockets at an area deep in north Israel after an Israeli airstrike Saturday killed one of its operatives near the eastern city of Baalbek. In a statement, the group said it launched dozens of Katyusha rockets at the Nimra military base west of Tiberias in response to the assassination near Baalbek. It described Nimra as "one of the main bases in the northern region" of Israel. In an earlier statement, the group said it destroyed espionage equipment at the alRaheb Israeli post with the "appropriate weapons.". Shortly after the Nimra attack, Israeli airstrikes hit a house in the Tyre district town of Maaroub and several border towns. The Israeli army said Saturday that the slain Hezbollah operative was part of the group's air defense unit. Hezbollah has traded near daily fire with the Israeli army across Lebanon's southern border since its Palestinian ally Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, triggering the war in Gaza. "A local Hezbollah official" was killed in an "Israeli drone" strike on a vehicle near the eastern city of Baalbek, a source close to the group told AFP on Saturday. Lebanon's official National News Agency NNA reported one person was killed when an "enemy drone" targeted a vehicle in the Shaat area, around 15 kilometers nine miles north of Baalbek. The area is around 100 kilometers from Lebanon's southern border with Israel. The Israeli military said in a statement that the air force "operated in the area of Baalbek to strike and eliminate.. a key operative in Hezbollah's Aerial Defense Unit.". The Hezbollah operative "took part in the planning and carrying out of numerous terror attacks" against Israel and helped build up the group's "arsenal of Iranian weapons," the statement added. Hezbollah announced that a fighter from the area had been killed, identifying him as Maitham alAttar. Recent Israeli strikes in south Lebanon have killed two senior Hezbollah commanders one of them this week with the group raining rockets on northern Israel in response. The crossborder exchanges of fire have largely been restricted to border areas, although Israel has repeatedly struck deep inside eastern Lebanon. Hezbollah on Saturday claimed several attacks on Israeli positions near the southern border, including one with "explosive drones" that it said came in response to "Israeli enemy attacks" on south Lebanon villages. Lebanon's NNA reported several Israeli strikes on areas in south Lebanon later Saturday. Hezbollah says it is acting in support of Gazans and Hamas with its attacks, which began on October 8. The escalating violence has raised fears of allout war between Israel and Hezbollah, which last went to war in 2006. The crossborder exchanges have killed at least 497 people in Lebanon, most of them fighters but also including 95 civilians, according to an AFP tally. Israeli authorities say at least 16 soldiers and 11 civilians have been killed on their side of the border. Login using your Naharnet account

Source. On Friday morning, during the Maori New Year public holiday, a 16yearold teen named Jason wasbrutally attackedon an Auckland bus by a woman wielding an iron rod. The assailant, described as a Maori woman more than 200 kilograms," hit Jason multiple times and stabbed him in the face, knocking out five of his teeth, on board the bus after having allegedly shouted "chnk" at him at Johns Lane stop. Man intervenes:A 75yearold Chinese man, Penglai Qiuyue, intervened and managed to grab the weapon, though he was also injured in the process.

The speech appeared designed to reassure the president s supporters that he is still capable of running for office against Trump.

According to multiple reports, Biden spoke with Democratic governors at a private meeting at the White House on Wednesday evening, where he attempted to reassure them about his candidacy.

Australian school teacher Lyalle Suarez had been under the influence of alcohol when she lost control of her Honda CRV on the A92. Police spent two hours searching for an injured passenger in a serious car crash only to find him 20 metres away from the vehicle with a broken back. School teacher Lyalle Suarez had been under the influence of alcohol when she lost control of her Honda CRV on the A92 between Gourdon and Benholm and plunged down a steep embankment into a field. The vehicle automatically phoned the police and when officers arrived they found the 34yearold smelling of alcohol and with slurred speech. Her partner, who had been in the passenger seat, was thrown from the vehicle and suffered serious injuries. But he lay stricken in the field for two agonising hours while police searched for him, despite being just 20 metres from the car. Fiscal depute Brooklyn Shaw toldAberdeen Sheriff Courtthe incident happened around 1.30am on June 4 last year. An automated feature in Suarez s vehicle, sensing the crash, phoned the police and, during the call, it was noted that Suarez sounded intoxicated . Officers raced to the scene and found the vehicle had travelled down a sevenfoot embankment and come to rest in a field some 30 metres from the road. It had significant damage and both airbags had been deployed. Ms Shaw said: The accused was traced by the police in a dazed state, smelling of alcohol with glazed eyes and slurred speech. She indicated her partner may have been within the vehicle at the time. After two hours of searching, he was located approximately 20 metres from the vehicle. . He was found to have sustained two broken ribs, a broken sternum, four broken lumbar vertebrae and a broken ankle. The court heard tests showed Suarez had 67 milligrammes of alcohol in 100ml of blood, the legal limit being 50 milligrammes. Suarez, of Croft Place, St Cyrus, pled guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving while under the influence of alcohol. Defence agent Carolyn Leckie said her client, a qualified primary school teacher in Australia, was a first offender. She said: She accepts full responsibility for the charge and has been plagued by remorse and the consequences of her decision that night. . The lawyer said neither party had any memory of what happened to cause the crash. However, she added that there was context to her getting behind the wheel that night, but did not disclose what it was in open court. I would submit that it was dark and I do have photos that show the markings at the side of the road are quite faint. . She explained Suarez also suffered seatbelt injuries and that her mental health had been impacted. She said: The complainer was found in a field, I d submit possibly thrown out of the car. In the medical evidence there s no reference to him having suffered seatbelt injuries so I d submit it s likely he was not wearing a seatbelt while Ms Suarez was. . Ms Leckie said Suarez had been unable to return to Australia to see her children since the start of the proceedings as the police had seized her passport. Sheriff Elizabeth McFarlane ordered Suarez to complete 300 hours of unpaid work and be supervised for a year. She also banned her from driving for three years.

By:Bethany Wales. Peacocks has clawed its way back to profit after shedding hundreds of jobs,newlyfiled documentshave revealed. The high street retailer, which was saved from administration in a buyout in 2020 and is now headquartered in Manchester, shrunk its retail staff from an average of 3,480 to 3,277 in the following 12 months. Its financial results for the year ended February 25, 2023 which have just been filed around eight months after the deadline also revealed that Peacocks had returned to the black for the first time since the pandemic, making a pretax profit of 14.6m during the year. This was compared to a pretax loss of 16.7m in the year ended February 26, 2022, according to a document which has just been published more than 20 months after the deadline. This return to the black came as Peacocks grew its turnover to 238m in the 12 months ended February 25, 2023, up from just under 160m in the year before. These are the first results Peacocks has published since it was saved from collapse by a buyout in 2020, which saw a consortium of managers purchase the full company, its employees and all of its stores. In a statement published toCompanies House, Peakcocks said: The challenges in the UK high street have been widely reported and whilst the company has not been immune to the market trends of lower footfall and the continually increasing consumer appetite for online shopping solutions the board is confident that the business is well placed to make the best of the current trading environment given its diversified portfolio of store formats, covering a wide demographic. Peacocks continues to meet the needs of its traditional customer base with the fashion retail of clothes and accessories and has seen some success with its strategy of developing ranges attractive to different age groups. The main customer profile is the cost conscious mum shopping for herself and her family and the strategy continues to be to offer great value across the ranges. . Peacocks wasrescued from administrationafter being bought by an investment consortium in April 2021, saving around 2,000 jobs. Edinburgh Woollen Mill EWM Group, the retail empire owned by billionaire businessman Philip Day, agreed to support the sale of its high street brand. EWM Group said it had backed a bid by an international investment consortium, led by Edinburgh Woollen Mill COO Steve Simpson, to rescue the retailer from administration. The transaction, negotiated by Peacocks administrator FRP, saved 200 of its more than 400 stores, 1,850 store staff and 150 head office jobs. During the pandemic and leading up to EWM s collapse, Peacocks shut down 200 stores around half its estate and made 2000 redundancies as it struggled to manage under the various restrictions. Peacock also had a poor online presence compared with rivals and along with Arcadia Group and Debenhams struggled to recoup business through its websites, leading to its collapse.

Hardwood Paroxysm. All Latest News For You!. 05.07.2024 17:09. . Update: 07.05.2024 17:54. The Court of Justice of the European Union CJEU will issue its ruling on the European Chamber s refusal to recognize the headquarters of Carles Puigdemont and Toni Com n in 2019 on September 26. In particular, the European Court will have to decide whether to choose to follow the criteria of the ruling on the immunity of Junqueras and the Court s prosecutor, which considers that forcing MEPs to swear an oath to the Spanish Constitution is contrary to European legislation and the principle of universal suffrage; or if on the contrary it upholds the decision of the president at the time,Antonio Tajanito deprive them of the seat. The ruling is of great importance, as the European Parliament is expected to deny Com n the seat on the grounds that his name was excluded from the list of MEPs sent by the Spanish electoral authority, which includes only those who have sworn to the constitution in person in Madrid. Puigdemont and Com n were part of the Junts list, which won the May 2019 European elections in Catalonia, taking two seats. The Joint Electoral Commission included them in the list of elected candidates, but not in the final list, as they are required to comply with the Spanish constitution. Nor was Oriol Junqueras, who was not allowed out of prison by the Supreme Court. In this way, the thenpresident of the European Chamber, Antonio Tajani, did not recognize them as MEPs. Puigdemont and Comin finally took office in December 2019, when the thenpresident,David SasolThey were recognised after the ruling on Junqueras immunity, which stated that the status of a member of the European Parliament was only obtained through election at the ballot box. Despite finally getting the seat, Puigdemont and Comin have filed a lawsuit against the European Chamber for Tajani s refusal to recognise them from the start a case that will be judged on 26 September. The firstinstance ruling in the case, issued by the General Court of the European Union CJEU, upheld Tajani s decision. The European Parliament s legal services also said during the hearing that Sassoli had recognised the MEPs of Puigdemont and Comin possibly illegally because the European Chamber had never received notification of their election in the Spanish state. But the proindependence leaders have appealed the decision to the European Court of Justice, which will now have to rule after the Advocate General ratifies it. The Advocate General s opinion is not binding, although the ECJ usually follows his arguments before making a final ruling. Now, the ruling will not only allow to determine whether or not the seats of Puigdemont and Comin were properly awarded in the last legislature, but it will also allow to clarify Comin s status in this state. Of course, if a ruling is in his favor, and if the European Chamber does not recognize it until after the ruling is published, Comin will miss the first two full sessions of the legislature.

The European Court of Justice will rule on the recognition of Carles Puigdemont and Toni Comín's seats in the European Parliament.

Investigations into a senior public servant accused of child sex trafficking have been delayed due to a "broken" device used to access mobile phone data. Loginor signup to continue reading. The alleged offender was not present in theACT Magistrates Courton Tuesday, having been previously bailed to live in Tasmania. The man cannot be named due to legal reasons. He faces 10 charges including two counts of domestic trafficking a child with intent to provide sexual services or other exploitation, as well as two counts each of having sexual intercourse with a child under special care, sexual intercourse with a child, and committing an act of indecency on or in the presence of a young person. The man, aged in his 40s, is also charged with one count each of producing child abuse material and possessing child exploitation material. These charges relate to alleged crimes committed from 2013 to 2017 against a girl aged in her teens. It is unknown if he has entered pleas. The man, a senior public servant, is accused of transporting the girl from Canberra to Maroubra and Campbelltown on two separate occasions. He is also accused of raping the alleged victim four times, and producing child abuse images of her. On Tuesday, a prosecutor told the court a brief of evidence was yet to be finalised. She stated outstanding files included documents relating to the public servant's work email and data from a forensics extraction device, known as a Cellebrite machine. The lawyer said the sexual assault and child abuse team's device was "out of order", and multiple attempts to extract information from the man's phone failed. "It is actually broken," the prosecutor told the court. "The phone data is part of a large investigation and offences spanning a five year period.". She stated the case had been adjourned in the past for this reason, but the machine had now been sent for repair. Duringa bail application in November 2023, the prosecutor said "a significant amount of data is to be analysed which may give rise to further offences and further avenues of enquiry". The alleged child sex trafficker is set to return to court in August. Hannah is a reporter with The Canberra Times. She is currently covering ACT courts.
