The single mother says she has been unable to find a job and struggling financially, so she s been leaning on the depot for help. Everybody who comes here has financial problems, something going on in their lives, Jowata said. Life has ups and downs and we are grateful to have this organization to help us. . The organization, once known as the NDG Food Depot, is a pillar in the community, serving people since 1986. Its food bank offers clients a dignified shopping experience with highquality food and its restaurant serves people freshly cooked meals for free. It says over the last few years, it s been struggling with high demand, but not has not received any additional funding so it has no choice but to reduce its services. Beginning the week of July 15, it will cut down the restaurant s hours, closing on Fridays, meaning it will go from serving meals four days a week to three. Over the past two years, the two past fiscal years that finished in March, our budget increased by about 40 per cent, but in that same period, demand tripled for our food bank and for the resto, said Tasha Lackman, the Depot Community Food Centre s executive director. In the past, a busy day at the depot s restaurant was about 200 people. Now, that number is more like 300. Lackman says the organization simply doesn t have the resources to hire any more staff or make any more meals. Last year, we did 20,000 emergency food baskets and we did about 45,000 at the resto. We just keep beating our own records, Lackman said. If we were a forprofit organization, that would be good news. But as a nonprofit, it s a reflection of an affordability crisis, a housing crisis and of the fact that food insecurity is an income issue. . Lackman says less than 18 per cent of its funding comes from the three levels of government, with only 3.5 per cent coming from the province. In a statement to Global News, a spokesperson with Quebec s Health and Social Services Ministry said the government recognizes the effort and indispensable nature of the services offered by these community organizations and funds them in part through the Community Organization Support Program. . During the study of budgetary appropriations, Minister Lionel Carmant confirmed an indexation of nearly three per cent of the funding under the Community Organization Support Program. This amount is in addition to the 10 million for 20242025 as presented in the budget. . Lackman says the depot s situation isn t unique food banks across the city are struggling to keep up. She says if all levels of government don t start investing more in organizations dealing with food insecurity, things will only get worse before getting any better.

Premmata Jowata, a single mother, relies on the Depot Community Food Centre for support due to financial struggles. The organization faces increasing demand without additional funding, leading to service reductions. Despite a 40% budget increase, demand tripled for the food bank and restaurant. Lackman, the executive director, highlights the challenges nonprofits face in addressing food insecurity. With limited government funding, organizations like Depot are strained, reflecting broader societal issues.

. . July 9, 2024Staff ReporterParliament0. . HARARE The country s largest multimedia group, Zimpapers Limited is owed in excess of ZWL1 billion by government departments and ministries, parliament has been told, a situation that has crippled its operations, which were already affected by foreign currency shortages. Appearing before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Information Publicity and Broadcasting, Zimpapers board member George Chisoko appealed to the legislators to put pressure on government to clear its debt. The biggest challenge is that government owes money to Zimpapers; so our request to you is for you to engage government so that they pay what they owe to Zimpapers, he said. Also appearing before the same committee, Nick Mangwana, the secretary for the Ministry of Information Publicity and Broadcasting Services, confirmed that Zimpapers was owed ZWL1 billion by government before the country switched from ZWL to the ZiG currency. Chisoko said Zimpapers was also hit hard by foreign currency shortages, a situation that saw the media empire turn to the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe for assistance. Part of the challenges we have been facing as a board is the availability of foreign currency, Chisoko said. . . We have given the executive a task to come up with ways of how they intend to raise the money. Two weeks ago, we had a meeting with the new RBZ governor, Dr John Mushayavanhu on how they can assist us in raising the foreign currency we require. . Committee chairperson and Marondera Central MP Caston Matewu however said the impression the legislators got when they toured Zimpapers was that the company was in sound financial standing. We were impressed by what we saw at Zimpapers during our tour of the premises. They told us they do pay dividends and that they were not in the red, he said. Meanwhile, Mangwana said State owned broadcaster, Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation ZBC had improved radio and television licence fee collection levels, up from 2 percent from TV and radio owners in 2018 to between 20 and 22 percent. In 2018, the rate of compliance was 2 percent and after various initiatives by the Corporation, I am advised that its now between 2022 percent. So, there is scope for them to improve the collection rate and be selfsufficient from licence fees alone, he said. Source: ZimLive. . . . . . . . Copyright 2024 The Zimbabwe Mail Online Your News!

. By Jonathan McCambridge, PA. The Stormont powersharing Executive will have to look at raising its own revenue to help deal with public sector budget pressures, new Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn has said. In his first visit to the North since taking up office, Mr Benn said Stormont has historically not been as good as it might be in income generation . He also said that a priority had to be given to ensuring that the current budget was being used in the most effective way, adding there is an urgent need for public sector reform. . . . Mr Benn visited St George s Market in Belfast on Sunday morning where he spoke to traders and members of the public. If followed meetings that he had in Hillsborough Castle in Co Down on Saturday evening with the main Stormont political parties. Northern Ireland s First Minister, Michelle O Neill, said she made the case for fair funding for public services during her meeting. Speaking to the media, Mr Benn pointed out that public spending in Northern Ireland is higher than in England. . . The North receives about 124 per head for every 100 per head spent in England. Mr Benn said: Those funding discussions about the future will continue and there will be additional money when the main estimates are published which I anticipate will be in the near future. But I would also say this. There is a question for the Executive about how the money is spent. All public bodies, governments, institutions have to look at what they ve got coming in, what s going out and how they can make the most effective use of that. Historically, government in Northern Ireland has not been as good as it might be in income generation. That is something the Executive is going to have to look at. . . . . The Northern Ireland Secretary said: The really urgent task for now is public services, the longest waiting lists in the whole of the United Kingdom. This was an election in which people voted in all parts of the United Kingdom for change and that is why I am so keen to work with the Executive. They have a big responsibility to undertake public service reform because with more funding per head than say my constituents receive, Northern Ireland has the worst waiting lists in the whole of the UK. I think everybody recognises there is a need for reform. We stand ready to give advice and expertise and support because it is a very big task but it is an urgent one for the people of Northern Ireland. . Speaking following her meeting with Mr Benn on Saturday, Ms O Neill said: We strongly made the case for fair funding to be provided urgently for health, education and public services here. The cuts our people and public services have endured under the Tories must end now. . . . . . Mr Benn said it was a great privilege and an honour to be appointed Northern Ireland Secretary. He said: I was very keen to come here as soon as possible and that is why I arrived yesterday. I am determined that we are going to build a new relationship with the parties in Northern Ireland. I was a very strong supporter of the restoration of the Stormont institutions because Northern Ireland needs its government to function above all in the interests of the people of Northern Ireland who, in recent years, have been without a government for far too long. I am greatly encouraged by the way in which the Executive has started its work. .

NEW YORK AP Donald Trump s lawyers on Monday asked the New York judge who presided over hishush money trialto set aside his conviction and delay his sentencing, scheduled for next week. The letter to Judge Juan M. Merchan cited theU.S. Supreme Court s rulingearlier Monday and asked the judge to delay Trump s sentencing while he weighs the high court s decision and how it could influence the New York case, according to the letter obtained by The Associated Press. The lawyers argue that the Supreme Court s decision confirmed a position the defense raised earlier in the case that prosecutors should have been precluded from introducing some evidence they said constituted official presidential acts, according to the letter. In prior court filings, Trump contended he is immune from prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office. His lawyers did not raise that as a defense in the hush money case, but they argued that some evidence including Trump s social media posts about former lawyer Michael Cohen comes from his time as president and should have been excluded from the trial because of immunity protections. The Manhattan district attorney s office declined comment Monday night. The Supreme Court on Monday ruled for the first time that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution, extending the delay in the Washington criminal case against Trump on charges heplotted to overturn his 2020 presidential election loss. Trump was convicted in New York of 34 counts of falsifying business records, arising from what prosecutors said was an attempt to cover up a hush money payment just before the 2016 presidential election. He is scheduled to be sentenced in the hush money case on July 11. Merchan instituted a policy in the runup to the trial requiring both sides to send him a onepage letter summarizing their arguments before making longer court filings. He said he did that to better manage the docket, so he was not inundated with voluminous paperwork. In denying Trump s bid to move the trial from New York state court to federal court last year,a federal judge foundthat the allegations at the center of the case pertained to Trump s personal life, and do not reflect in any way the color of the President s official duties. . The evidence overwhelmingly suggests that the matter was a purely a personal item of the President a coverup of an embarrassing event, U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein wrote in the ruling. .

The judge had previously denied moving the trial to federal court, stating the case pertained to Trump's personal life, not official duties.

Considerable cloudiness. Slight chance of a rain shower. High 89F. Winds SW at 10 to 20 mph.. Some clouds. Low 67F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph. Updated: July 11, 2024 1:01 pm. . . General Assignment Reporter. MONTPELIER Gov. Phil Scott proclaimed July as Lakes Appreciation Month in Vermont. "Lakes and ponds are among Vermont s most valuable natural resources," an announcement states. "They offer countless benefits from drinking water and recreation to crucial fish and wildlife habitat.". Scott's proclamation stresses the importance of the state s 800plus lakes and ponds for current and future generations. This July marks the 10year anniversary of the Shoreland Protection Act," Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Jason Batchelder said in the announcement. In 2014, Vermont passed the Shoreland Protection Act to allow reasonable development along shorelands while protecting the benefits those areas provide to lakes. . Vermont is facing unprecedented challenges due to climate change: from wildfire smoke clouding our skies to last year s catastrophic flooding, according to the announcement. By protecting water quality and habitat, the Shoreland Protection Act seeks to strengthen Vermont's natural communities and human communities alike to be more resilient to climate change s harmful impacts. In the decade since the Shoreland Protection Act has been in place, the DEC has issued more than 1,000 Shoreland Protection permits for development that meets a set of protective standards on Vermont s lakeshores, according to the announcement. Regulated shoreland development, paired with voluntary best practices guided by Vermont s Lake Wise Program, work hand in hand to protect water quality and habitat along the lakeshore. Under the Shoreland Protection Act, many development projects along the lakeshore require additional practices to ensure clean water and provide healthy shoreland habitat, Misha Cetner, DEC lakes ecologist, said in the announcement. Our interaction with the public on these projects provides the opportunity to spread awareness about the benefits of planting native plants on the lakeshore and decreasing lawn area for the good of the lake. . To celebrate Lakes Appreciation Month this year, people are encouraged to visit one of the many State Parks on a Vermont lake. Those who live on a Vermont lake are asked to show appreciation by planting a native tree species along the shoreline. "For years to come, that tree will help stabilize the shoreline, protect water quality, provide shoreline habitat, and offer some shade to keep you cool on a hot July day," the announcement states.

Babal Blog. an island on the net without a bearded dictator. From our Bureau of Socialist Waste Managementwith some assistance from ourBureau of Socialist Black Humor. Castro, Inc. is admitting that it can no longer handle trash collection and is now calling on residents of Havana to create a popular movement to remove garbage from the city s streets. Yeah. Why not? After all, Cubans have a lot of time to spare whenever they re not standing in line waiting to purchase food and other items. And, naturally, Cubans are ingenious enough to find ways to remove mountains of trash without trucks, bulldozers, shovels, or wheelbarrows. There is a lot of edible stuff in that trash, you know. Eat the cardboard. Beautiful. Sheer genius. Trash crisis and food crisis solved simultaneously!. Loosely translated from Diario de Cuba. The Government and the Communist Party in Havana called on residents to join a popular movement to contribute to environmental sanitation, after recognizing that the accumulation of uncollected waste by responsible state entities is affecting the epidemiological situation and complicating the response to the very active cyclone season rains. Liv n Izquierdo Alonso, first secretary of the PCC, and Yanet Hern ndez P rez, the city s governor, made the call during a meeting held on July 3rd, as reported by the capital s government on its Facebook page. The officials stated during a meeting of the Temporary Working Group that this initiative is necessary for the prevention and confrontation of the epidemiological and meteorological situation that is approaching us. . At the meeting, attended by Carilda Pe a Pent n, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Public Health MINSAP, and the capital s health authorities, the call was extended to government leaders and mass and social organizations in the province, and the 15 municipalities of Havana. . This action also helps to alleviate the danger of flooding that can be caused by heavy rains associated with extreme hydrometeorological events, the meeting report indicated. The accumulation of uncollected waste for weeks in heavily populated areas of Cuba s capital is an old problem, acknowledged by authorities, for which they have announced various projects, but the situation continues to worsen. At the end of June, heavy rains affecting western Cuba caused severe flooding in several Havana neighborhoods. The amount of garbage carried by the waters contributed to their contamination and blocked the drains. Moreover, this week MINSAP reported that the Oropouche virus has already reached 12 provinces in the country, amid ideal conditions for the proliferation of the transmitting mosquito and limited resources to conduct fumigation campaigns. The national director of Epidemiology at MINSAP, Francisco Dur n, said that arbovirus has spread to 39 municipalities in those 12 provinces. He specified that the Oropouche virus, transmitted by a mosquito that lives in all types of water, is not easy to combat. Between the difficulties with sanitation, heavy rains, and the heat, conditions are ideal for its multiplication, he noted. They know it makes no sense and that it s unworkable, but it s a way to evade responsibility. They should also know they re insulting people s intelligence and, in effect, mocking them, but they don t care. Under normal circumstances, people would be and should be expected to organize themselves and clean up their own neighborhoods, however difficult it might be to dispose of the garbage.But I wouldn t be surprised if in a country like Cuba, sixtyfive years of soulcrushing communism has destroyed the people s pride and initiative.

Government officials in Havana are asking residents to help with trash collection due to the inability of state entities to handle the task. This initiative aims to address the environmental and health issues caused by the accumulation of waste. The call also serves as a response to the dangers of flooding and the spread of diseases like the Oropouche virus. Despite acknowledging the impracticality of the situation, authorities are turning to the community for assistance.

At the time, Cody said he had evidence that the newspaper, reporter Phyllis Zorn and the city council member had committed identity theft or other computer crimes in obtaining information about a local business owner's driving record. All his targets said they did nothing illegal, and no charges were ever filed. A federal lawsuit filed by Meyer and the newspaper alleges that the raid caused the death the next day of his 98yearold mother, who lived with him, and he and the paper's attorney have suggested that the raid was Cody's response to the paper investigating his background. Cody seized Gruber's personal cell phone and had her desk searched; she had no connection to the driving record but was looking into Cody's past. The raid sparked national outrage, and Cody resigned as chief in early October, less than two months after the raid. Legal experts have said the raid likely violated state or federal laws.

Lawsuit against Marion county sheriff and prosecutor continues. Lawsuit is one of five against city, county, and officials. Raid linked to paper's aggressive government coverage. Police chief seized reporter's phone; no charges filed. Raid led to chief's resignation amid national outrage and possible legal violations.

As the sun shone over Sir Thomas Blamey Square, jets roared across the sky to welcome the new Chief of Air Force, Air Marshal Stephen Chappell, and farewell the outgoing Chief, Air Marshal Robert Chipman, during a Change of Command Parade today in Canberra. Air Marshal Chipman was appointed Chief of Air Force CAF in July 2022, leading the Air Force in its response to the Defence Strategic Review and the implementation of the National Defence Strategy. As he reflected upon his time in the role, he noted some of Air Force's achievements during his tenure. "I will never cease to be impressed by the innovation and industry of our aviators," Air Marshal Chipman said. "I've met aviators using solar panels designed for a camping fridge to power and proof test a command vehicle that enables our air battle managers to control airspace from the back of a Land Rover wherever they can get an internet signal. "Air Force Training Group have shaved weeks off our courses, increased training throughput, and introduced tailored physical conditioning to dramatically improve our completion rates. "Last week I celebrated the graduation of our latest air weapons instructors; our next generation of combat leaders. "I take no credit for this work it's being delivered by our aviators, who understand our strategic context and commit their efforts to find a better way. It has been inspiring to witness.". 'I will never cease to be impressed by the innovation and industry of our aviators. It has been inspiring to witness.'. In his final act as chief, Air Marshal Chipman handed the Sir Richard Williams sword to incoming Chief of Air Force, Air Marshal Chappell, handing over command of the Air Force. Air Marshal Chappell becomes the 28th Chief of Air Force at a critical time as it becomes a more integrated, focused force. Air Marshal Chappell has vast experience in strategic level management and situational awareness of current and potential ADF and wider Government commitments. The incoming Chief humbly outlined the force's key to success looking after each other through the embodiment of Defence values and doing the ordinary things extraordinarily well. "My role as your Chief of Air Force is to serve you, our aviators, and our nation, in this noble endeavour," Air Marshal Chappell said in his inaugural address. "My initial calling continues to resonate to lead with clarity, and collaboratively, with my ADF and APS colleagues. To support you to generate and deliver air power as part of an integrated, focused force. "And to ensure, if called upon, we are well prepared to fight in defence of our nation and its interests."

The Chief of Air Force, Air Marshal Robert Chipman, handed over command to Air Marshal Stephen Chappell during a Change of Command Parade in Canberra. Chipman highlighted Air Force achievements, praising aviators' innovation. Chappell vows to lead collaboratively and ensure preparedness for national defense.

MOSCOW, July 3. TASS. Russia s Defense Ministry has published unique documents on Operation Bagration for the liberation of Byelorussia during the Soviet Union s 19411945 Great Patriotic War against Nazi Germany, the ministry reported on Wednesday. The documents include directives by the Supreme High Command General Headquarters, plans of the upcoming operation, the description and maps of combat operations, military commanders orders, commendation lists on awarding participants in the Minsk offensive, charts and photo materials. The Russian Defense Ministry has published the archives as part of its historical and educational project, 'Bagration Victorious Strikes.' The documents published can be accessed on the ministry s website in its new multimedia section. Operation Bagration June 23 August 29, 1944, was the first large offensive operation by the Red Army conducted during the period when the US and British troops began military operations in Western Europe. The Soviet offensive resulted in the liberation of Byelorussia, the larger part of Lithuania and eastern Poland. The offensive also contributed to the advance by allied forces in France as it denied the German military command the possibility to redeploy reserves from the SovietGerman front to the west. Following the results of Operation Bagration, 1,500 Soviet servicemen were awarded the title of the Hero of the Soviet Union and hundreds of thousands of others were bestowed with Soviet orders and medals.

Published. on. By. Abdulsamad Dasuki, a member of the House of Representatives, has asked President Bola Tinubu to sack all his appointees in the security sector because they have failed to meet the expectations of Nigerians. Dasuki said this during the debate on a motion condemning the recent suicide bombing in Borno State. The motion was sponsored by Ahmed Jaha. In his remarks, the lawmaker said the President appointed several northerners into the security sector so that they can take care of insecurity in the North, however, they have not been able to do that. He stated that the country needs a scapegoat, adding that the House should urge the President to sack all his political appointees in the security sector. In the last year that we have been inaugurated no one has been sacked. It is high time we hold people responsible. It is high time we find a scapegoat, which is justifiable. These guys have not lived up to expectations. The president has said that he gave these positions to northerners to defend their people. That is what he said practically. Every day, we have two or three security related issues. We can call on the president to sack all security political appointees. All of them have been in the position for ten months. Political appointeessecurity wise can go, he said. Some of the northern political appointees include the Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru, the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, the Minister of Police, Ibrahim Gaidam, the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu and others. Also speaking on the motion, the Chairman of the House Committee on Navy, Yusuf Gagdi, opposed the argument that the security sector was handed to northerners, stating that the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun and the Chief of Army Staff, Taoreed Lagbaja, were southerners. Following the debate, the House resolved to condemn the bombing and asked the Committee on National Security and Intelligence to investigate the development.

By Kaila Nichols and Shawn Nottingham, CNN. CNN The Atlanta City Council voted Monday to approve a 2 million settlement for two students forcibly pulled from their car and tased by police during a protest following the death of George Floyd. Messiah Young and Taniyah Pilgrim will each receive 1 million as part of the settlement. The resolution of the civil case will allow these young people and their families to continue healing from this traumatic experience. It is important for them to help the community to remember that the fight to prevent police brutality continues, Mawuli Davis, Young s lawyer, told CNN. This case has been a roller coaster of emotions for two innocent college students who were the victims of unjustifiable excessive force by officers of the APD Atlanta Police Department. We pray this acts as a sign of change that the City will continue to step forward and do the right thing in civil rights cases, Pilgrim s legal team said in a statement. Pilgrim and Young were in their vehicle in downtown Atlanta on May 30, 2020, when they were caught in traffic by protests sparked byGeorge Floyd s death days before. The lawsuit claimed that while the students car was stopped due to heavy traffic, they were approached by six Atlanta Police Department officers and told to open the door and get out of the vehicle. As Pilgrim turned to get out of the car, she was tased twice while still in the passenger s seat, according to the lawsuit. An officer then broke the window on Young s side and Young was also tased twice, while he was in the driver s seat, the lawsuit added. The incident wascaptured on video by bystandersand shared widely online. The students said they were out picking up food when they encountered the protests. Then Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms had called a citywide curfew to start at 9 p.m., but the students said in the lawsuit they were unaware of it. The incident happened around 9:40 p.m. that night, the lawsuit said. Young was charged with eluding police but the charges were dropped the next day. Pilgrim was never charged, according to the lawsuit. The students filed their lawsuit a year later in 2021, seeking unspecified damages and naming several individual officers, the city of Atlanta and Bottoms. CNN previously reportedthat four of the six Atlanta Police officers were fired. They were allbooked on chargesof aggravated assault, simple battery and criminal damage to property in the aftermath of the incident. Two of them had their terminations overturned and returned to the force. The Fulton County District Attorney s office didn t prosecute the officers involved in the incident, deciding their actions were justified. Chris Stewart, a lawyer for Pilgrim, said Tuesday there are no outstanding lawsuits. Thank you for everyone that has supported us over the years. There s a lot of work to be done, Young said during a news conference Tuesday. There s still blood on the streets of Atlanta. The idea of justice that was once lauded unfortunately crumbled to dust. We will keep pushing forward. . This situation occurred four years ago and it s a memory that I ve been wanting to forget. Unfortunately, it is etched into our memory. I m happy that this finally settled and I can close this chapter in my life, Pilgrim added. CNN s Tina Burnside and Devon Sayers contributed to this report.

Recently the Supreme Court threw out a rule that banned bump stocks but there is a bill proposed to ban them in Michigan. Recently the Supreme Court voted 63 to wipe away the ban on bump stocks. If you are not a gun enthusiast you may not even know what a bump stock is. A bump stock replaces a rifle's standard stock allowing a semiautomatic weapon to fire faster. It works by sliding back and forth against a person's shoulder while shooting. Since automatic weapons are illegal in the United States, the bump stock was developed as a way around the law. I have shot a few semiautomatic rifles and they can be fired quickly so there is no need for a bump stock. I had never heard of a bump stock until 2017 when the Las Vegas mass shooting happened during the Route 91 Harvest Country Music Festival. 64yearold Stephen Paddock shot a semiautomatic weapon using a bump stock killed 60 people and wounded 413 others. So you gun people don't start whining, I'm not against semiautomatic guns but disagree with the use of bump stocks because it helps a weapon act like an automatic. According toPatch, Michigan senator Dayna Polehanki DLivonia recently introduced a bill, that would make bump stocks illegal to manufacture, sell, and possess across the state. This is not a ban on semiautomatic weapons, just the bump stock. If the bill is passed, Michigan wouldn't be alone on the ban on bump stocks. There are 15 other states and the District of Columbia already has a similar ban. Gallery Credit:Scott Clow

The Supreme Court lifted the ban on bump stocks allowing semi-automatic weapons to fire faster. Developed to bypass laws on automatic weapons, bump stocks came to attention after the Las Vegas shooting in 2017. Michigan proposed a bill to prohibit bump stocks, following in the footsteps of 15 other states.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Mr Nyesom Wike, has presented 50 operational vehicles fitted with communication gadgets to security agencies to strengthen fight against insecurity in the territory. Wike while handing over the vehicles to the agencies in Abuja on Friday, said that the measure was to support security agencies with the needed logistics to enable them combat crime in the FCT. The FCT Police Command got 24 vehicles, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps eight, Advance PartySecurity Monitoring, FCT Administration six while the Department of State Services got five. Also, the Guard Brigade of the Nigerian Army received three vehicles while the Nigeria Air force, 005, Abuja, Naval Unit, Nigerian Immigration Service, and National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency received one each. We are no longer talking about infrastructure; we are no longer talking about taking development to the Area Councils; we are now talking about a key factor, a key agenda in the renewed hope mantra, and that has to do with security. We are not just concentrating on infrastructure; we are not only concentrating on bringing development to the hinterland; we are also concentrating on providing security in order to protect lives and property, the minister said. He pointed out that one of the key priorities of President Bola Tinubu was the security of lives and property. According to him, any leader that cannot secure the lives and properties of citizens has no business in governance. So, it is a priority for President Tinubu that Nigerians are secured and who are those that are responsible? It is the security agencies. For us as a government, it is not the responsibility of Mr President to go and identify where the criminals are; it is not my responsibility or the minister of state s responsibility to go and engage criminals. It is our responsibility to provide the tools for the security agencies to confront these criminals and make sure we sleep with our two eyes closed. If we do not play this role, it will be difficult for our security agencies to be effective and to be able to carry out this function of securing lives and properties. . He urged residents to support and pray for security agencies, who sometimes lose their lives in the line of duty. The minister commended the security agencies for reducing the rate of crime in FCT and promised continued support by providing the tools needed to work for the interest of residents. He urged the security agencies to use the vehicles for the benefit of the society and not for private use. It is not for you to use as private vehicles because it is air conditioned, then you use it to be carrying your wives, instead of the purpose it was meant for, he said. Earlier, the Director, Security Services Department, Mr Adamu Gwary, noted the rising concern on the security situation in and around the FCT. He said that the operational vehicles would empower and enhance the capacity of security agencies in fighting crimes and criminality, respond promptly to distress situations and rise to the security challenges confronting the territory. However, crime prevention is the responsibility of all, and as such, all hands must remain on deck to ensure safety and security of all, he said. Speaking on behalf of the security agencies, the Commissioner of Police, Benneth Igweh, FCT Command, thanked Wike for the continued support to security agencies in FCT. Igweh, who was represented by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Kayode Ojakinwa, assured them that the security agencies would make the best use of the vehicles for the security of all. The News Agency of Nigeria NAN reports that the minister had on April 16 donated 100 motorcycles to security agencies to combat crime in hadtoreach communities. NAN.

In many waysJapanis a country that's firmly embraced technology, yet it remains attached to good oldfashioned cash. Plenty of locals and tourists wave their credit cards in the shops scattered along the Zelkovalined avenue of Tokyo's Omotesando and the boutique shopping district of Ginza, but cash is still king in several other locations. Holeinthewall izakayas traditional bars, ryokan traditional inns, and Shinto shrines often accept cash only. Sure,urban areas like Tokyoand the Kansai region's Osaka are cardfriendly, but carrying physical yen is recommended when venturing beyond major cities. Related stories. But those who want to use a vending machine in Japan may want to doublecheck the type of bills in their wallets. For the first time in 20 years,Japan started issuing new banknotes this weekin an effort to combat counterfeit money. The only problem is that they might not be accepted everywhere. Take Japan's millions of vending machines. They're big business, offering everything from hot coffee and beer to wagyu and hot sauce. Though some accept card payments, those that take cash may not accept Japan's new banknotes. The Japan Vending Machine Manufacturers Association recently said that almost 80 of the country's machines would need upgrades to accept the new notes,Reuters reported. Many restaurant and parkingticket machines would also need an update. The issue is that Japan's retro machines aren't designed to process the new notes, which have hightech specs incorporated to help determine authenticity. They include portraits of historic figures as 3D holograms a worldfirst, according to the Bank of Japan designed to rotate when a note is tilted. Getting Japan's aged machines ready for these new notes will now take time and money. In April,the Bank of Japan saidthat despite the growth in cashless payments, it expects "the demand for cash, which can be readily used by anyone, anywhere, and at any time," will continue to play a significant role in the economy. The banknote issues come at a peculiar time.Tourists have been flocking to Japan this yearto take advantage of a weak yen, which hit a 38year low against the US dollar this week. Travel guides often tell tourists to carry cash. If they're stopping by a vending machine there anytime soon, they may want to check first if their bills will work. Read next. Jump to

Cash remains prevalent in Japan despite technological advancements. While urban areas are card-friendly, traditional establishments often accept cash only. New banknotes with high-tech features are being issued, but many vending machines and other machines may need upgrades to accept them. This change comes as Japan experiences an influx of tourists due to a weak yen.

Hi, what are you looking for?. By. Published. Workers at South Korean tech giant Samsung began a three day general strike Monday, the head of a union representing tens of thousands of employees told AFP, after talks with management broke down. The strike has started from today, Son Woomok, head of the National Samsung Electronics Union, told AFP, adding that a major rally was scheduled later in the day. The union, which has around 28,000 members, or more than a fifth of the company s total workforce, announced the three day general strike last week, saying it was a last resort after talks broke down. The move follows a oneday walkout in June, the first such collective action at the company, which went decades without unionisation. Management at the firm, the world s biggest producer of memory chips, has been locked in negotiations with the union over wages and benefits since January but the two sides have failed to narrow their differences. We are now at critical crossroads, the union said in an appeal sent out to members last week, urging them to support the critical strike. This strike is the last card we can use, the union said, saying that workers at the company needed to act as one . This strike is not just about improving working conditions, it is about taking back our rights that have been ignored so far, it added. Workers have rejected the offer of a 5.1 percent pay hike, with the union having previously outlined demands including improvements to annual leave and transparent performancebased bonuses. Samsung declined a request for comment. Avoided unions . Samsung Electronics avoided its employees unionising for almost 50 years sometimes adopting ferocious tactics, according to critics while rising to become the world s largest smartphone and semiconductor manufacturer. Company founder Lee Byungchul, who died in 1987, was adamantly opposed to unions, saying he would never allow them until I have dirt over my eyes . The first labour union at Samsung Electronics was formed in the late 2010s. The firm is the flagship subsidiary of South Korean giant Samsung Group, by far the largest of the familycontrolled conglomerates that dominate business in Asia s fourthlargest economy. It is world s largest memory chip maker, and accounts for a significant chunk of global output of the highend chips. Samsung recently predicted a 15fold increase in its onyear second quarter operating profits, thanks to growing demand for generative AI. Semiconductors are the lifeblood of the global economy, used in everything from kitchen appliances and mobile phones to cars and weapons. And demand for the advanced chips that power AI systems has skyrocketed thanks to the success of ChatGPT and other generative AI products. Semiconductors are South Korea s leading export and hit 11.7 billion in March, their highest level in almost two years, accounting for a fifth of South Korea s total exports, according to figures released by the trade ministry.

. Profile. Sections. tv. Featured. More From NBC. Follow NBC News. There are no new alerts at this time. A proposed amendment to enshrine access to abortion in Arizona s constitution is one step closer to appearing on the November ballot after organizers submitted far more than the required number of valid signatures to state officials Wednesday. Arizona for Abortion Access, the groupleading the effort, announced it had collected the signatures of more than 823,000 registered voters more than two times the 384,000 it needed to move forward with the process of qualifying their proposal for the ballot. Organizers said it is the largest number of signatures ever submitted in Arizona for a citizenled ballot initiative. NBC News is the first outlet to report the news of the group's submission of its signatures. In an interview ahead of its public announcement, Arizona for Abortion Access spokesperson Chris Love said the number of signatures means that "we're showing the strength of our campaign. "We've been out in the field since last September with our volunteer and paid signature efforts. And so this number is not only recordbreaking, but it's a demonstration of strength that Arizona voters really want to see abortion on the ballot and they want to weigh in, and that's why they signed," Love said. "More importantly, we're telling our opposition that they've got a tough fight ahead of them.". At a news conference later Wednesday morning outside the State Capitol, hundreds of the nearly 7,000 volunteers who'd helped gather the signatures cheered as organizers announced the total they collected. After the event, those volunteers handdelivered the thousands of petitions to state officials in the Capitol complex. Organizers said theyhad collected the necessary number of signatures months ago, with the intention of waiting until the Wednesday deadline to submit the highest number possible. The strategy was designed as a show of strength and a contingency if a large number of the signatures were challenged or thrown out by state officials. The office of Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a Democrat, has until Aug. 27 to review the signatures and formally certify the measure for the November ballot. The proposed constitutional amendment would create a fundamental right to have an abortion up until fetal viability. After that point, the measure would bar the state from restricting abortion in situations when the health or the life of the pregnant person is at risk, according to the treating health care professional. The political debate over the future of abortion rights has been particularly charged in Arizona,a key battleground state, after the U.S. Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade in 2022. In April, the conservativeleaning state Supreme Court ruled to reinstatea neartotal ban on abortion from 1864. Following blowback in the state and across the country, some of it from Republicans, Arizona lawmakers passed a billto repeal the banin May, which Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbssigned into law. The repeal effectively restored a 2022 law, signed by the Republican governor at the time, that made abortion legal up until the 15th week of pregnancy, with an exception after that to save the woman s life but no exceptions for rape or incest. If voters approve the proposed ballot measure in November, it would effectively undo the 15week ban. Putting the abortion issue directly before voters could also help boost Democratic turnout in the presidential election in the state, as well as in critical Senate and House races. Constitutional amendments to enshrine abortion rights are set to formally appear on the general election ballots in six states this fall Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Nevada, New York and South Dakota while Arizona is amongfive othersalong with Arkansas, Missouri, Montana and Nebraska where organizers continue to work to advance similar ballot measures.

Arizona for Abortion Access submits over 823,000 voter signatures to put abortion access amendment on November ballot. Proposed amendment would establish abortion rights until fetal viability and prohibit state restrictions endangering health or life of pregnant individuals after that. Initiative follows Arizona's reversal of Roe v. Wade and subsequent repeal of 15-week abortion ban. Proposal aims to boost Democratic voter turnout and could impact key elections.

Watch CBS News. Updated on: July 6, 2024 9:36 AM EDT CBSAP. The famous Moulin Rouge cabaret in Paris got its iconic red windmill back on Friday just in time for theSummer Olympicslater this month. The mill's huge sails inexplicably collapsed after a show in April at the iconic venue, an emblem of the surrounding Montmartre neighborhood. When the sails fell, they took with them the first three letters of the Moulin Rouge sign. "It's sad, just sad," Danish tourist Lars Thygesen toldCBS News at the time. "I hope they will build it up again, so it will be as it always has been, the old Moulin Rouge," added his partner Lise. No one was hurt and the mayor of Paris' 18th district said the structure was not in danger. The Moulin Rouge scrambled to repair the damage before July 15, when the Olympic torch relay is expected to draw big crowds as it passes through the area. On Friday, a special ceremony that featured cancan dancing on the plaza outside marked the restoration. The windmill was first illuminated on Oct. 6, 1889, at the opening of the Moulin Rouge. The cabaret, marking its 135th anniversary this year, is a major tourist attraction and was celebrated in the 2001 Baz Luhrmann film musical starring Nicole Kidman. Cabaret management says its performers represent 18 nationalities and it receives 600,000 spectators a year. 2024 CBS Interactive Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Johnson Lake received 4 inches of rain on Monday night, while Holdrege received about 3 inches. Corn was just starting to show its tassels, and wheat was ready to be picked, but now farmers are at a halt due to standing water and hail damage to their fields. With the amount of rain some received, one farmer in Funk says that he is grateful to have planted on the sand, as it absorbs water quickly and his crops will have a chance to recover. Others in Bertrand said they aren t so lucky because they planted in black dirt, which caused standing water in their fields, slowly suffocating their crops over the course of a few days.

The DoPT s 2020 order regarding the timeline for reviewing the performance of government employees and those working for PSUs, banks, autonomous institutions, and statutory organizations under their administrative control has mandated that all ministries, departments, and organizations strictly adhere to it. The effort attempts to guarantee that government personnel considered to be ineffective or with questionable integrity are barred from further employment. Through its 2020 order, the DoPT published comprehensive and consolidated rules outlining the steps to be taken in determining which cases qualify for early retirement.Beginning in July 2024, all ministries and departments are required to provide a report to the DoPT in a predetermined format by the fifteenth day of the following month.

LONDON At least 37 people were killed including three children and 170 people were injured across Ukraine on Monday, as Russia launched a barrage of more than 40 missiles, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. At least five cities fell under attack, including the capital of Kyiv, where 21 people were killed. At least two people were killed in the attack on the hospital, including one female physician. At least seven children were injured, according to officials. Zelenskyy said Monday that doctors, hospital staff and first responders were digging through the debris. The entire world must use all its determination to finally put an end to the Russian strikes. Killing is what Putin brings, Zelenskyy said. Only together can we bring real peace and security. . Ukrainian Minister of Defense Rustem Umerov wrote in a post on Facebook that the Russian attack was massive and was carried out at the peak hour when Ukrainians went to work. . Kyiv city authorities declared July 9 a day of mourning in the capital after the attack, according to a post on Telegram. Meanwhile, Ohmatdyt Children s Hospital asked for donations to help rebuild the hospital after the attack, and raised more than 2 million in just three hours on Monday, according to UNITED24, a fundraising initiative of the president of Ukraine. The attack, which is among the largest Russian strikes in months, comes a day before U.S. President Joe Biden begins a threeday NATO summit in Washington, where the group is expected to discuss support for Ukraine. The alliance is expected to make significant announcements about increased military and financial support for Ukraine, a senior White House official said last week. Photos and videos shared by Zelenskyy and those at the hospital appeared to show bloodied doctors carrying out children, a building in the hospital grounds reduced to rubble and the exterior of the main building blown out. One image appears to show young patients sitting on the street with their IVs after the explosion. A doctor at the hospital told local media the missile destroyed a building where two operations were happening at the time. The Security Service of Ukraine said in a statement that it had opened a criminal investigation into the strike on the hospital, which it called a war crime. The service said a Russian Kh101 missile struck the building, according to its preliminary findings. At the top of a meeting with U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Monday morning at the Pentagon, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg condemned the recent Russian strikes on Ukraine. In Ukraine, Russia continues its brutal war, Stoltenberg said. Only today we have seen horrendous missile attacks against Ukrainian cities, killing innocent civilians, including children. I condemn these hideous attacks. . The missiles targeted cities including Kyiv, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Slovyansk and Kramatorsk, Zelesnkyy said. At least eight of the dead were in Kyiv, officials said. Another three people were killed in Russian airstrikes on the eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, officials said. Copyright 2024, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

She is raising the emu for its eggs. "She the emu was all the way in the back in her enclosure," Alfaro said. "She busted through the fence. She got so spooked out from the fireworks. We had very, very loud explosion feelinglike fireworks, so I'm thinking that's what caused the behavior.". Thesixfoot flightless bird broke out of its enclosureand made its way to a neighborhood about a mile away. Residents said they couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the emu strolling down Atkinson Lane in the pouring rain. "I was scared because it kept opening its mouth and it had really long like talons or claws on its feet so I thought it was going to attack me," Owen Lentz said. The emu didn't attack but appeared scared. Neighbors tried to corral it. By the time police arrived, the flightless bird had retreated into the woods. "I just never seen something like that before," Lentz said. "The police said in their 25 years of working they've never seen something like that. I didn't even know they emus were in America.". Alfaro was determined to get her emu back. She and her employees found the emu in the woods where it was last spotted, which is near the neighborhood, but catching it wasn't easy. Workers repeatedly tried to lasso the emu, but the bird simply ran away. Minutes later, the emu was captured. CBS News Philadelphiawas the only station there as the 150pound bird was hauled out of the woodsand put into a trailer. Back at the farm, the bird was carried to its enclosure. Alfaro said she'll give the emu water and take it to the vet for a possible leg injury. The emu was seen limping before its capture. Now that the bird is back where it belongs, Alfaro said she's feeling "much better." She added, "One less thing to worry about.". Alfaro is taking steps so this doesn't happen again. She said she's planning to move her emu from its outdoor enclosure to an indoor enclosure the next time there are fireworks so the animal doesn't get spooked.

News, Sports and Weather. . Hungarian PM Viktor Orban met Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss peace in Ukraine, despite EU leaders warnings against appeasement.Hungary began its sixmonth EU presidency on Monday, with Orban visiting Ukrainian President Zelenskyy.Orban s Moscow visit comes days before a NATO summit focused on military aid for Ukraine. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban metRussian President Vladimir Putinon Friday to discuss peace in Ukraine, drawing warnings from fellow European Union leaders against appeasement and an insistence that he did not speak for the EU. Hungary assumed the sixmonth rotating presidency of the bloc on Monday. Five days in and Orban has visited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv and formed the Patriots for Europe alliance with other rightwing nationalists. Now, he has chosen to go to Moscow on a peace mission , days before a NATO summit that will address further military aidfor Ukraineagainst what the Western defense alliance has called Russia s unprovoked war of aggression . HUNGARY LAUNCHES EU PRESIDENCY WITH TRUMPLIKE CALL TO MAKE EUROPE GREAT AGAIN . European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that only unity and determination within the 27nation EU would pave the way to a just and lasting peace in Ukraine . Appeasement will not stop Putin, she said on X. Putin, who received Orban in the Kremlin, told him that he was ready to discuss the nuances of peace proposals to end the twoandahalfyearold war. Putin said last month that Russia would end the war in Ukraine, which Moscow calls a special military operation, only if Kyiv agreed to drop its NATO ambitions and hand over the entirety of four provinces claimed by Moscow demands Kyiv swiftly rejected as tantamount to surrender. HUNGARY S LEADER MAKES FIRST VISIT TO UKRAINE SINCE WAR BEGAN FOR PEACE TALKS WITH ZELENSKYY. An EU diplomat said that, in Orban s decision to meet Putin in Moscow, Hungary s presidency of the EU which will run until Dec. 31 had effectively ended before it had really begun. The skepticism of EU member states was unfortunately justified it s all about promoting Budapest s interests, the diplomat said, asking for anonymity due to political sensitivities. Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda accused Orban of undermining the EU presidency. If you truly seek peace, you don t shake hands with a bloody dictator, you put all your efforts to support Ukraine, he wrote on X. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said Orban in Moscow was not representing the EU in any form and Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo said the visit undermined EU interests. Pavel Havlicek, research fellow at the Association for International Affairs, said Orban s visit was an abuse of a power vacuum in Brussels and a dangerous undermining of the common European position. Orban, a critic of Western military aid to Ukraine who has the warmest relations of any EU leader with Putin, said he recognized he had no EU mandate for the trip, but that peace could not be made from a comfortable armchair in Brussels . The EU presidency s role is to chair meetings of member states, seek consensus and broker agreements on legislation with the European Parliament. At a time of transition, with a new European Commission only set to take office in November, analysts said Budapest s actions at the forefront of EU policymaking were likely to be restricted. Ministers said Hungary wanted to make an impact with its presidency, which it launched with a striking call to Make Europe Great Again , echoing former U.S. presidentDonald Trump, an Orban ally. We intend to leave a mark, Orban s spokesman Zolt n Kovacs said on Thursday, before reports of the Moscow trip emerged. The prime minister is going to use the presidency in a political way. . .

As Chinese companies test their autonomous vehicles on American roads, concerns are growing about the vast amounts of data these rolling surveillance devices are collecting and the potential national security implications. Fortunereportsthat in recent years, Chineseowned companies have been quietly testing their selfdriving cars on American roads, particularly in California. While this may seem like a harmless part of technological advancement, experts are raising alarms about the potential national security risks associated with these vehicles. Since 2017, selfdriving cars owned by Chinese companies have traversed 1.8 million miles in California alone, according to data from the state s Department of Motor Vehicles. These vehicles, equipped with advanced cameras, sensors, and mapping technology, are capable of collecting massive amounts of data about their surroundings, including detailed video footage and precise geospatial information. Among the 35 companies approved to test autonomous vehicles in California, seven are wholly or partly Chinabased. Five of these companies WeRide, Apollo, AutoX,Pony.ai, and DiDi Research America were active on California roads last year. Some of these companies also have permission to test in other states like Arizona and Texas. The concern lies not just in the amount of data collected, but also in how it s stored and potentially accessed. Some Chinese selfdriving car companies appear to store U.S. data in China, according to privacy policies reviewed by Fortune. This situation effectively leaves the data accessible to the Chinese government, experts warn. Craig Singleton, director of the China program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, described the current situation as literally the wild, wild west, highlighting the lack of oversight and regulation in this area. The potential uses of this data range from mass surveillance to detailed mapping that could aid in war planning. Despite these concerns, there is a surprising lack of scrutiny and regulation surrounding these Chineseowned selfdriving cars. State and federal agencies overseeing the testing of autonomous vehicles acknowledge that they do not currently monitor or have any process for checking what data these vehicles are collecting or how it s being used. This regulatory gap is particularly striking given the U.S. government s stance on other Chineseowned tech companies like TikTok and Huawei, which have faced intense scrutiny and potential bans due to similar data security concerns. The data collected by these vehicles could provide valuable intelligence on infrastructure, population movements, and even individual behaviors. In the wrong hands, this information could be used for everything from targeted disinformation campaigns to more sinister purposes like assassination planning, according to some experts. Adding to the concern is the stark contrast between how China and the U.S. handle such technologies. While Chinese companies are freely testing their autonomous vehicles in the U.S., American companies are not allowed to conduct similar tests in China without partnering with a licensed Chinese company. .

Chinese self-driving cars, tested in the U.S., raise concerns about data collection and national security risks. Chinese-owned companies have driven 1.8 million miles in California since 2017, storing data that could be accessible to the Chinese government. Minimal regulation on data collection could lead to potential security threats, contrasting the scrutiny faced by other Chinese tech companies in the U.S.

Molinaro Group is requesting a reduction in total office space and addition of 24 more residential units in the final two buildings. A proposal to reduce the amount of office space in a Fairview Street development already under construction, and replace it with 24 more residential units, goes to the City of Burlington s committee of the whole next week.

But Molinaro said the entire project, including the first phase of three towers and 550 units that was completed four years ago, was approved by Ontario Municipal Board decision several years ago. At the time, the company agreed to include extensive office space thinking it would work being so close to the GO Transit station. Fast forward to today, and the office vacancy rate is at a 20year high, Molinaro said. We didn t think we wanted to be stuck with this much office space. . He said while the residential units will be residentowned, Molinaro Group will own the development s retail and office space. The change will mean adding additional residential units, toward the city s goal of 29,000 housing units by 2031, within an already approved project. We re bullish on Burlington, Molinaro said. We re looking ahead. . The change is not expected to delay ongoing construction. A city staff report states the development s originally planned second phase also includes 1,650 square metres 17,760 square feet of retail space. The proposed amendment includes adding 32 square meters 344 square feet of additional retail space. The previous approval required 364 residential parking spaces, 66 visitor parking spaces and 172 parking spaces for nonresidential retail and office uses.

Hamas is awaiting Israel's reply on a ceasefire proposal, officials from the Palestinian group disclosed on Sunday, following the group's acceptance of a significant part of a U.S. plan to end the ninemonth conflict in Gaza. Prime Minister Netanyahu is scheduled for consultations regarding the ensuing steps in the threephase plan laid out by President Biden, mediated by Qatar and Egypt. The plan aims to end the war and secure the release of approximately 120 Israeli hostages held by Hamas. An anonymous Hamas official told Reuters they are waiting on Israel's response delivered through mediators. Another Palestinian official knowledgeable about the ceasefire talks noted Israel's discussions with Qatar and expects a reply within days. CIA Director William Burns is expected to meet with Qatari and Israeli officials this week to push the negotiations forward. In an important shift, Hamas dropped its demand for an immediate permanent ceasefire commitment from Israel, agreeing to engage in negotiations during the sixweek first phase. Meanwhile, public protests in Israel pressure the government to agree to the ceasefire, aiming to end the war that has devastated Gaza and Israel, resulting in significant casualties and widespread destruction.

A triple murder suspect has been found following the crossbow deaths of the wife and two daughters of a BBC racing commentator in Hertfordshire, east England. Kyle Clifford 26, was found in the Enfield area of north London on Wednesday afternoon, police said. They said he was receiving medical treatment having been found with injuries. No shots were fired by police, the force said. Mr Clifford was wanted in connection with the deaths of Carol Hunt 61, wife of BBC racing commentator John Hunt, and their two daughters Hannah 28, and Louise 25, in the town of Bushey, Hertfordshire. The police said they believe he was known to the victims. Detective Inspector Justine Jenkins, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, said: This continues to be an incredibly difficult time for the victims family and we would ask that their privacy is respected as they come to terms with what has happened. This investigation is moving at pace and formal identification of the victims is yet to take place. Following extensive inquiries, the suspect has been located and nobody else is being sought in connection with the investigation at this time. . Footage obtained by Sky News appeared to show Mr Clifford being stretchered out of Lavender Hill Cemetery in Enfield. Armed police officers and ambulance staff had earlier gathered in significant numbers at the cemetery, which is close to where a house was searched. The cemetery was closed off and an air ambulance was seen nearby. A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: Ambulance crews and London s air ambulance attended an incident in Lavender Hill Cemetery, Enfield, this afternoon. We treated a man at the scene and took him to a major trauma centre. . In a press conference before Mr Clifford was located, chief superintendent Jon Simpson from Hertfordshire Police told reporters the murders are believed to be targeted . During the search for the suspect, police said they believed he may have been armed with a crossbow and warned the public not to approach him. As part of a note sent to BBC 5 Live staff on Wednesday, the broadcaster said it would provide Mr Hunt with all the support we can . The note read: The news today about John Hunt s family is utterly devastating. Our thoughts are with John and his family at this incredibly difficult time and we will provide him with all the support we can. . Police said they were looking at whether the force had contact with the victims or Mr Clifford before the killings. . Messages of condolence were posted on social media by figures from the racing world. BBC racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght said: There are no words. Like everyone else I feel numb and sick on John s behalf at such incomprehensible evil. Everyone who knows John knows he is the absolute archetypal family man, so proud of them, so it s impossible to know what he can be going through. But I know I m speaking for the whole racing community and the whole wider sports media community as well, both of which he s been part of for so long, when I say everyone is sending sympathy, love and support to him. It s just awful. PA. 2024 The Irish Times DAC

ATLANTA A recent greenlight from the Atlanta City Council to convert a free parking lot behind a row of businesses on Euclid Avenue into paid parking is drawing some ire from community members. For decades, a littleknown parking lot behind a busy stretch of businesses in Little Five Points has been free for workers and regulars, but that s about to change. We re competing with other neighborhoods that have free parking. Or even Ponce City Market. Their parking is like 10 for three hours and 15 for 24 hours. They re charging 20 to 25 around here for parking," said Kelly Stocks, president of the Little Five Points Business Association. On Monday, Atlanta s City Council approved the Euclid Avenue Parking Plan, which will allow the Park Place Parking Company to manage the 45space lot for the next three years at a fee yet to be determined. Business owners like Cedric Mahaffey said making the lot paid might drive away customers. If it's not a userfriendly situation, someone will choose to go elsewhere. Lately we ve been having so many other surrounding areas to develop that we didn t used to have worry about losing our patrons to years ago," Mahaffey said. So far, there is no timetable for when the change to the last free parking lot in this bustling neighborhood will take effect or how much it will cost.

Atlanta City Council approved converting a free parking lot in Little Five Points into paid parking managed by Park Place Parking Company, sparking opposition from locals and business owners concerned about losing customers to nearby areas with cheaper parking rates. The exact fee and implementation date are yet to be determined.

WATCHLIVE. The doctor held regular Neurology clinics at the White House, she said. In a letter just released by the president's physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, he confirms that Dr. Kevin Cannard, the Parkinson's expert who visited the White House eight times in an eightmonth span, "was the neurological specialist that examined President Biden for each of his annual physicals.". O'Connor reiterates that "His findings have been made public each time I have released the results of the President's annual physical," adding, "President Biden has not seen a neurologist outside of his annual physical.". He also stresses that Biden's last physical found no signs of Parkinson's, as O'Connor detailed at the time in aFebruary 28th letter. While the White House Press Secretary refused to confirm these details earlier Monday, citing privacy concerns, O'Connor says he "obtained permission from the President and Dr. Cannard to confirm the details I am sharing.". O'Connor goes on to offer a fullthroated endorsement of Dr. Cannard and his work as the Neurology Consultant to the White House since 2012. MORE Biden dismisses concerns about mental fitness, says he'd drop out if the 'Lord Almighty' told him. "Dr. Cannard was chosen for this responsibility not because he is a movement disorder specialist, but because he is a highly trained and highly regarded neurologist here at Walter Reed and across the Military Health System, with a very wide expertise which makes him flexible to see a variety of patients and problems," he writes. He also notes that Cannard "has held regular Neurology Clinics at the White House Medical Clinic in support of the thousands of activeduty members assigned in support of White House operations. Many military personnel experience neurological issues related to their service, and Dr. Canard regularly visits the WHMU as part of this General Neurology practice," which may explain some of the visits.

The New York City Dyke March deleted and apologized for a post to social media condemning antisemitism and saying that Jews are welcome that was made ahead of Saturday's match in Manhattan. The original Instagram post read, "We have received many messages over the last several months, asking the committee members of Jewish Dykes are safe and welcome to the 2024 NYC Dyke March. The answer is yes. As a committee, we want to reiterate our position that we stand against antisemitism in all forms.". The post also acknowledged the "senseless loss of Jewish life" during the October 7 massacre, though it contained multiple paragraphs accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, and focusing on the plight of the Palestinian Arabs. It also claimed that all of the people who have been killed in Gaza have been civilians. This post was removed within an hour of its posting, with a new post apologizing for it taking its place. The second post read, "Late at night on June 27, a member of the Dyke March Committee posted a statement on our Instagram. The statement was approved by several other committee members. However, it was published without a full committeewide vote anddoes not reflect the official stance of the Dyke Marchemphasis in original. The post was a mistake. Therefore, within 30 minutes we deleted it.". "We take full responsibility and apologize for the process and communication breakdown that led us here, as well as the harm our statement caused. Dyke March unapologetically stands in support of Palestinian liberation. This moment is a critical reminder to our committee to remain firm in our stance that antiZionism is not antisemitism, and any language we put out which is not clearly opposed to a Zionist, imperialist agenda is harmful to all," the second post continued. The march was held on Saturday under the title 'Dykes Against Genocide.' The organization's website called it "a protest march, not a parade.". . While the Dyke March stated that the event was meant to call attention to multiple conflicts and genocides, including the conflicts in The Congo, Sudan, Ukraine, Ethiopia, Haiti, and Myanmar, the vast majority of posters and items carried by marchers during the event that named any specific conflict focused on the conflict between Israel and Hamas and attacked Israel. Multiple Dyke Marches have been at the center of antisemitism controversies in recent years.In 2017,three women were ejected from the Chicago Dyke March for waving rainbow flags emblazoned with Jewish stars. Two years later,Jewish and Israeli symbols were banned from the Washington DC Dyke March

The New York City Dyke March issues an apology for a social media post that condemned antisemitism but contained controversial statements about Israel. The organization acknowledged its mistake and clarified that the post was not reflective of its official stance. Despite addressing various global conflicts, the focus at the march was largely on the Israel-Hamas conflict. Dyke Marches have faced similar antisemitism controversies in the past.

Head of Public Affairs for the West African Examination Council, John Kapi, has cautioned BECE candidates against placing money and their contact numbers into answer booklets in an attempt to bribe invigilators during exams. Addressing the media at a press conference to outline the rules and regulations guiding the 2024 BECE ahead of the commencement of the exams, Mr Kapi said the council has noticed a concerning trend in recent years where candidates try to solicit external help during exams. Mr Kapi stated categorically that such actions are classified as punishable offences, and candidates found culpable will be severely dealt with. The council has noted with concern a number of cases where candidates write telephone numbers or phrases such as call me, help me, or just call my mom, etc. in their answer booklets. Others also insert various sums of money in their answer booklets soliciting help from examiners. We wish to state clearly that this is classified as seeking external assistance and is a punishable offence, he stated. Mr Kapi further warned against the usage of mobile phones and other electronic communication devices by candidates in the exam halls. Candidates who are found culpable of committing such offences will have their entire exams cancelled. He urged parents to ensure their wards comply with these directives to avoid their results being cancelled if found guilty. Mobile phones and other electronic communication devices are prohibited at examination centres. Neither supervisors, invigilators nor candidates are permitted to bring mobile phones into examination halls, he stressed. Watch the video below;. . ghanaweb.com. . Log in to leave a comment.

. MONTGOMERY AP The U.S. Department of Justice, which sued Alabama over prison conditions, filed a statement of interest in a lawsuit by prisoners who said they are subjected to unconstitutional levels of violence and excessive force. The Justice Department officials filed the statement last week in a 2014 lawsuit filed by inmates at St. Clair Correctional Facility. Justice Department officials said Alabama's request for summary judgment should be rejected if there if is a genuine dispute over the accusations because, "these allegations, if proven, establish Eighth Amendment violations.". "The Constitution requires prison officials to take reasonable steps to protect the people in their custody," Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division said in a press release. "We must not allow violence and sexual abuse to run rampant in our prisons and jails. We are committed to securing the constitutional rights of all people, including those who are incarcerated.". The Alabama Department of Corrections will file a response later this month. A group of inmates housed at St. Clair Correctional Facility filed a federal lawsuit in 2014 alleging the Alabama Department of Corrections has failed to address a pattern of excessive force, prisoneronprisoner violence and sexual assault at the prison. The maximumsecurity prison houses about 1,000 male inmates. The Justice Department filed a civil lawsuit in 2020 against the state of Alabama accusing state officials of failing to protect male prisoners across the state from inmateoninmate violence and excessive force at the hands of prison staff. The Alabama Department of Corrections has disputed the allegations in both cases. . . . . Log In. . . Sorry, there are no recent results for popular videos.

Now. 62. Wed. 79. Thu. 81. byMarlo Lundak, FOX 11 News. TOPICS:. MANITOWOC WLUK It's a problem that school districts across the state and country are dealing with: declining enrollment. The Manitowoc Public School District MPSD is no different. Last year, MPSD requested an audit of all the district facilities, to understand what the district needs to improve their learning environments. "I wasn't here, I don't know why we didn't do this 10 years ago," says MPSD Superintendent James Feil while holding a 319page building audit, which the district received in May. "We have a significant backlog of deferred maintenance," Feil says. "Essentially we've not been doing what we need to do to maintain our facilities, keep them new, keep them modernized.". Feil says the audit confirmed what they already knew, but showed them just how dire the situation is. It reports there are safety and security issues districtwide. "The current conditions do not support a 21stcentury educational environment," the executive summary of the audit reads. Some of the biggest safety and security issues are highlighted in the image below. . . "The most important critical needs, 47M dollars for, you know, we could spend easily in two years to bring that up, but about 163M in a 10year period of time in terms of what we would expect to maintain the facilities. Not to modernize them, just to maintain them," Feil says. Much like other school districts, including Green Bay, Manitowoc is dealing with declining enrollment. The audit shows that all the school buildings in the district are being underutilized. "We could operate two less elementary schools, considering all our schools, it could be elementary schools. Two less than what we need to manage our current enrollment," he adds. Now, Feil is recommending a 3phase 15 to 20year plan to school board members. He sent the recommended plan to board members last week. . . The first phase would be immediate. The district would take out 15 to 20M in loans to turn the district's alternative school, Stangel, into an elementary school, and close two of the district's oldest and most costly elementary schools.Jackson, Madison, Franklin, and Riverside are all being considered for closure. Phase two involves a 2026 referendum, which would allow the district to complete maintenance on the remaining elementary schools. It would also close both of the district's middle schools, Washington and Wilson, and build a new middle school where all students would consolidate into. It would also build a technology center in the school. Phase three would require a referendum in 2040, which would enable the district to build an entirely new high school, replacing Lincoln High, for 200M, or refurbish the existing building for 90M. . Feil is hoping board members can approve the plan by July 9, but some board members say the process is moving too quickly. The full, finished audit was just received in May, according to Paul 'Biff' Hansen, a school board member. "My feeling is if you go and close a grade school, you should go and have a meeting at the school with the parents there or will have students there in the next couple years, and you should also have cityinput from people that are going to be paying those bills, and we haven't had that," Hansen says. FOX 11 asked Superintendent Feil if the district's situation was so dire, that a decision had to be made quickly, without consulting or receiving input from district families. He replied, "Well time is money and, you know, also in terms of what you would reasonably expect, are parents in a position to make the best decision in terms of what facilities to keep or not?". Feil says the timeline is compressed because if they don't take action now, the district will go deeper into the hole. Once the board approves the plan, Feil says, they will then have conversations with families before officially deciding which schools to close. But Hansen criticizes that decision and feels as if a decision has already been made. "So, you're not really getting public input, you'll get it after you've decided. public input should be here's some options this is what we are thinking of doing, we can go this direction, this direction, this direction. But, you have input into that and that's not what's happening now.". "As an elected board member, before I vote on anything I need to know what the money is going to be spent on, and need to know most importantly, do the people of the community agree with the path we are taking.". If you are a Manitowoc Public Schools District parent or family and wish to share your thoughts ahead of the upcoming vote, email reporter Marlo Lundak at melundaksbgtv.com.

Manitowoc Public School District faces declining enrollment and deferred maintenance, requiring a $47M immediate investment and $163M over 10 years. A 3-phase plan proposes converting schools and consolidating into new ones, with the final phase involving a new high school. There is debate over the speed of decision-making and lack of public input.

Supporters of Tamil Nadu Bahujan Samaj Party BSP chief K Armstrong, who was hacked to death by a sixmember gang in Chennai, descended upon the streets of the city on Saturday, demanding a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation CBI into the matter. Claiming that his murder was planned , they said that the CBI should probe the case. A BSP functionary also said that there was an intelligence failure . The protests were happening outside the government hospital where Armstrong s postmortem was taking place. Earlier in the day, Chief Minister MK Stalin had said that the police have been ordered to investigate the case expeditiously and bring the culprits to justice as per the law . Offering condolences, Stalin said in a post on X: Bahujan Samaj PartyState President Mr. Armstrong s assassination is shocking and deeply saddening. The police arrested those involved in the murder overnight. Mr. I would like to convey my deepest condolences and condolences to all of Armstrong s party, family, relatives and friends who are bereaved and I have ordered the police officers to conduct the case expeditiously and bring the culprits to justice as per the law. . Early on Saturday, a senior police official had told news agency PTI that at least eight suspects have been detained in the case so far. The police have formed 10 teams to crack the case, Asra Garg, Additional Commissioner North told media on Friday. We have secured eight suspects so far. This is early an investigation, a preliminary investigation. So, after some time, a clear and better picture will emerge with more facts and circumstances coming to light, Garg was quoted as saying by PTI. There are some two to three suspicious motives , but the exact one would come to light only after the interrogation of the suspects, he added. The murder took place on Friday evening near Perambur in Chennai while Armstrong was talking to his friends. The accused attacked him with deadly weapons, leaving him in a pool of blood with severe injuries to his head and neck. Even though he was taken to hospital immediately, the doctors pronounced him dead.

Armstrong rose to popularity as a Dalit leader in Chennai by holding rallies for formerUttar PradeshChief Minister Mayawati in the city. His history sheet was closed a decade ago. In his early political career, Armstrong gained prominence by organising rallies for former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati in Chennai and serving as a known Dalit leader in the city. Despite leading the state unit of the BSP, a party with minimal influence in Tamil Nadu, he was known for his active role in local mediations and political activism, an officer probing the case said. Despite facing criticism for his age gap with female costars, 56yearold actor Akshay Kumar continues to star in films with much younger actresses, exposing the power imbalance in casting in Bollywood. This trend of ageism is not new, as even veteran actors like Dev Anand and Dilip Kumar have been part of it, highlighting the prevalent issue in the film industry.

Get local news delivered to your inbox!. One time Peter came to Jesus and asked Him, How oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Matt. 18:21, KJV. Since Jewish tradition was to forgive someone three times, Peter probably felt he was being generous when he suggested seven. How surprised he must have been when Jesus replied, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. Matt. 18:22, KJV. I don t think Jesus intended for us to count how many times we forgive someone until we reach 490. I think He just meant that we forgive. In a modern revelation, the Lord has said, I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men. Doctrine and Covenants 64:10. Forgiving someone is a condition in our heart. It doesn t mean that we now trust that person. It doesn t even require that we associate with them. But it does mean that we let it go and put judgment in the Lord s hands, who will judge perfectly and righteously. It means that we don t harbor that poison inside ourselves. If the Lord expects us to forgive seventy times seven, can He be any less generous with us? How many times during His ministry on earth did He tell people that their sins were forgiven? When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. Mark 2:5, KJV. Jesus has the right to forgive sins because He has already paid the price for them. For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit. 1 Peter 3:18, KJV However, there are conditions to His forgiveness. People need to have faith in Him, to believe that He has the power to forgive sins and to acknowledge Him as their Savior and Redeemer. With the help of the Lord, they need to make changes in their lives. Then the Lord will forgive them. The Book of Mormon records the experience of Alma as he related it to his son. In his younger years, Alma had been quite wicked. An angel appeared to him and called him to repentance. He fell to the ground unconscious. Alma says, And now, for three days and for three nights was I racked, even with the pains of a damned soul. And it came to pass that as I was thus racked with torment, while I was harrowed up by the memory of my many sins, behold, I remembered also to have heard my father prophesy unto the people concerning the coming of one Jesus Christ, a Son of God, to atone for the sins of the world. Now, as my mind caught hold upon this thought, I cried within my heart: O Jesus, thou Son of God, have mercy on me, who am in the gall of bitterness, and am encircled about by the everlasting chains of death. And now, behold, when I thought this, I could remember my pains no more; yea, I was harrowed up by the memory of my sins no more. And oh, what joy, and what marvelous light I did behold; yea, my soul was filled with joy as exceeding as was my pain! Yea, I say unto you, my son, that there could be nothing so exquisite and so bitter as were my pains. Yea, and again I say unto you, my son, that on the other hand, there can be nothing so exquisite and sweet as was my joy. Alma 36:1621. While the Lord will forgive whom He will, He has told us the conditions upon which we may be forgiven. And it doesn t matter how many times. It can even be more than seventy times seven. It isn t that we try and fail, it s that we get back up and sincerely try again. And the Lord will forgive us again. There is always hope for us as long as we don t give up. The Lord will never give up on us. Dennis Rehm is a member of the Carlisle Ward congregation of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. Find more information atComeUntoChrist.org.

Forgiveness is emphasized in the teachings of Jesus, who urged Peter to forgive not just seven times, but seventy times seven. Jesus has the power to forgive sins, but individuals must have faith, repent, and follow Him to receive forgiveness. The story of Alma in the Book of Mormon illustrates the transformative power of repentance. The Lord's forgiveness is unlimited as long as individuals keep trying and never give up.

Nicole Salaver s uncle, Patrick Salaver, was one of the leaders behind the Third World Liberation Front at San Francisco State University in the late 1960s. This movement ultimately brought ethnic studies programs to colleges nationwide. Despite his role as a Filipino civil rights leader, Patrick Salaver is largely unknown by the public. On episode 9 ofInheriting, Nicole Salaver sets the record straight and honors her uncle s legacy, while building her own. Nicole Salaver is an artist and filmmaker. She s also a program manager at Balay Kreative, a studio that provides financial support and workspaces for Filipino artists in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her uncle Patrick Salaver helped to raise her and fostered her love for arts and culture. Inheritingis a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. He basically took me in and was like a second father, Nicole Salaver says. When I realized I wanted to be an actress, it was a lot because of my uncle Pat. He gave me my first VHS camera, and through that I got to act for the first time. I got to direct for the first time and write. . Patrick Salaver s superpower was storytelling. He would tell his niece countless tales about his past, but growing up, Nicole Salaver never paid much attention. It wasn t until she got to college and took a Filipino American history class at SF State that she finally understood. Her uncle had once led a movement that transformed higher education and paved the way for ethnic studies programs in colleges nationwide. . In the late 1960s, Patrick Salaver was a student at SF State with a front row seat to an era of political change: the convergence of the Civil Rights Movement with protests against the Vietnam War and the establishment of the Black Panther Party in Oakland, Calif. But rather than remain a bystander, Patrick Salaver got involved. Student groups at SF State, led by racial and ethnic minorities, were waging their own battles against the college administration. Organizations known then as the Black Students Union, the Latin American Students Organization, El Renacimiento, and the Philippine American Collegiate Endeavor, which Patrick Salaver cofounded, came together to form the Third World Liberation Front. Among their demands, the coalition called on the administration to admit more students of color to the school and to implement a college of ethnic studies. The stakes were high. The war in Vietnam raged on. A disproportionate number of men of color were being sent overseas to fight. Patrick Salaver and his fellow organizers knew that college enrollment could protect men of color from the draft. This is the tenth year of our participation in the war in Southeast Asia, and it has been clear for some time to many that it was wrong, Patrick Salaver would later write. He and his fellow students participated in a violent, monthslong student strike the longest in U.S. history. While it ultimately led to some major wins, Patrick Salaver s activism and refusal to report for induction into the military took a toll on his personal life. It s a legacy that Nicole Salaver wants to honor, by making a feature film about her uncle. It's my life's mission to have his story out there so that other Asian Americans and just Americans in general can see the importance and sacrifice that my uncle laid his life for, Nicole Salaver says.

Nicole pays tribute to him on Episode 9 of "Inheriting," a show exploring Asian American and Pacific Islander families and their stories through generations.

She aims to share her uncle's story through a feature film to highlight his importance and contributions to American history.

. The Federal Government has unveiled a new financial inclusion policy aimed at transforming Nigeria into a 1 trillion economy by 2030. . According to the Presidency, the project is designed to combat poverty and catalyse sustainable economic growth from the ground up. . Vice President Kashim Shettima who unveiled the policy on Wednesday, said the initiative symbolises the commitment of the President Bola Tinubu administration to enhancing financial and economic inclusion across Nigeria. . The Federal Government had on April 25, 2024 unveiled the Aso Accord on Economic and Financial Inclusion, a multipronged blueprint designed to achieve universal access to financial services. . . The accord represents a core pillar of the administration s Renewed Hope Agenda to transform the nation into a 1 trillion economy by 2030, while combating poverty and insecurity through broadbased prosperity. . Addressing members of the team and other stakeholders at the maiden meeting, the Vice President noted that the idea is to provide access to capital and eradicate poverty through legislative interventions and critical policies. . According to Shettima, at the heart of every strategy championed by Tinubu is the need to prioritise inclusive economic growth and development. . He listed some positive results the efforts have yielded to include the recent upgrade of Nigeria s credit outlook to positive by Fitch Ratings, noting that it is in recognition of the reform progress under Tinubu. . While such upgrade by a distinguished institution reflects growing confidence in our economic trajectory, particularly in light of policy changes aimed at easing our debt service burden, we remain mindful of the shortterm impacts of these reforms. . Hence, we are prioritising measures to mitigate immediate effects, from the Student Loan Act, which democratises access to education, to the relentless efforts of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security in combating food insecurity. . . Shettima further pointed out that due to the administration s belief that its approach to inclusive growth must be strategic and sustainable, economic and financial inclusion was elevated to the agenda of the National Economic Council NEC, where all governors of the 36 states and the FCT minister participate in crucial policy deliberations alongside other stakeholders.

LONDON On the set of thefilm The Bikeriders, costume designerErin Benach put every crew member, their sons and daughters, as well as the students from University of Cincinnati to work making clothes. They were coming to my wardrobe space, and I told them that they had to make a vest. We had this huge Cshaped table, so they would take somedenim, a few patches, jewelry pieces andleatherwhangs to start whipping it in. They couldn t leave without making five a day, everybody had to, she said in an interview.

The author is played by Mike Faist as part of an Alist cast starring Austin Butler, Jodie Comer, Tom Hardy and Michael Shannon.You May Also Like. Benach used Lyon s book as a point of reference for setting up the scenes and getting a gist of what the characters would have worn in real life, but there was much research to be done to fill in the blanks, including the silhouette of the pants, their jeans and shoes, things that aren t captured very well in the book, she said. Because many of the symbols and language associated with Outlaws Motorcycle Club are copyrighted, she had to create her own interpretation for the film. Benach sourced the jackets from vintage markets, online stores, and even made new ones. She used brands such as Levi s, Lee, Runabout Goods, and Schott NYC. She made twodenimandleatherjackets featuring the number 13 on the pocket, a middle finger by the shoulder, a bald eagle with the American flag on the pocket, and a skull on the pocket flap. One was for Butler, and the other was for his stunt double. We basically studied the patches and the energy of it. A lot of the things were just about anarchy and counterculture. One of my favorite findings was that evil spelled backward is live, she said. Every piece, from the leather jackets and denim jeans to the Tshirts, went through a rigorous process to look weathered. They were dyed in a green and blue tint, spun in the tumble dryer, and then roughed up using sandpaper. After that, they were spraypainted using road dust. Then, for the final layer, they had mud painted on them. Much of the focus is on the Sixties, but the Fifties plays a role, too, particularly for Hardy s character, who is significantly older. His silhouette is different, and takes its cues from Marlon Brando in The Wild One with the superfitted leather jackets. We wanted him to have a connection to history and for everything to hit at his waist at a certain place, Benach said. Color was an important factor and thecostume designerfound herself attached to some shades in particular. Benach put Hardy in a red, buttondown shirt after seeing a reference imagery that stuck with her. For Comer, she envisioned the color purple after reading part of the script where the character walks into a watering hole called the Stop Light Bar. The purple is so different and feminine than all the bikers around. She stepped into this subculture, but she didn t just take it on and change herself to become one of them. She maintained who she was, she said. Benach leaned heavily into knitwear for the character to give her softness, but still kept it clean with a tight silhouette. The way Comer s character dresses is central in signifying the time period in which the film is set, according to Benach. By contrast, with biker gangs you can t necessarily say what time period they re in because their style is so timeless with the leather and denim, she said.

Costume designer Erin Benach recreated the Sixties for the film The Bikeriders, based on Danny Lyon's photo book. She involved crew members and students in making clothes and sourced vintage jackets. Every piece was weathered meticulously for authenticity. Benach used color to signify characters' personalities and the time period, emphasizing softness and femininity for one character. The Fifties influence was also present, notably in Tom Hardy's character.

I love you, the officer responded as other journalists enquired whether he speaks English to which he answered in the affirmative. How do you feel when in Haiti? they asked, to which he said, Not bad, this country not bad. It is comfortable here. . The scribes pressed him further seeking his opinion on the entire mission to which he said he had no comment. Whilst struggling to construct sentences in English, they sought to know from the officer whether the police would guard the ordinary Haitians besides the embassies. I can t understand, the officer said as a journalist struggled to get his point across. When he finally did, the officer said, Yeah, we are ready, we are ready, he said. And you are ready to fight? He was asked. We are here to bring peace not to fight, the officer said. The journalist kept pressing and shooting more questions and one asked, seemingly in jest, Do you like Asian girls, to which the officer responded sternly that he was in Haiti purely to keep peace. I m not here for girls my friend, thank you. You are losing your track man, the officer said prompting an apology from the journalist. Kenya is part of the Multinational Security Support Mission in Haiti alongside other countries such as Chile, Jamaica, Grenada, Paraguay, Burundi, Chad, Nigeria, and Mauritius who will also send officers.

As the Californiabased company that owns Waterbury, Manchester Memorial and Rockville General hospitals fights a legal battle to sell them to Yale New Haven Health System YNHH, it also faces an inquiry from the U.S. Department of Justice. In a legal document filed June 27 in its lawsuit with YNHH, Prospect states that it was served a CID a civil investigative demand, or subpoena by the Justice Department on Nov. 3, 2023. No details about the subpoena were included in the document. In May,YNHH asked the Connecticut Superior Court to be let out of its 435 million contractwith Prospect, after failing to renegotiate a lower price following a cyberattack that financially devastated operations at the three hospitals, as well as revelations that Prospect owed tens of millions of dollars to vendors, physicians, and local and state taxes. Prospect countersuedin June, claiming YNHH breached its contract and failed to make reasonable best efforts to complete the deal. On June 14, Hartford Superior Court Judge Barbara N. Bellis granted a joint motion from the two sides to consolidate the lawsuits and place them on the complex litigation docket. TheConnecticut Hospital Association is also suing Prospectand the three hospitals it owns in the state claiming they failed to pay more than 1.75 million in membership dues and for special services fees.Prospect s deal to sell its Connecticut hospitals is complicated by the fact that the properties are owned by Medical Properties Trust MPT, the largest hospital landlord in the country. MPT said it had expected to receive 355 million from the sale of the three hospitals to YNHH, but that is now on hold because of the lawsuits.

Curated By:Buzz Staff. Local News Desk. Last Updated:July 01, 2024, 15:09 IST. Delhi, India. The secondary school has five teachers for just three students. At the start of the new academic year, an educational imbalance has come to light in Sagar, Bundelkhand in Madhya Pradesh. About 45 schools in the district lack even a single teacher, a school in Jinda village, situated approximately 4 km from Sagar town, employs eight teachers for just nine students. The Jinda village has two schools which despite recommendations for closure five years ago due to low student numbers, continue to operate. The primary school here has three teachers for six students, and the nearby secondary school has five teachers for merely three students. The existing regulations from the Education Inspectorate mandate the closure of schools with fewer than 20 students, directing that these students be integrated into nearby schools. However, contrary to consolidating resources, four new teaching positions were recently added. The financial implication of this staffing is substantial, with annual salaries amounting to between Rs 6070 lakh. Moreover, local preference for private schooling has led to no new enrollments in the past two years. Across the Sagar district, the allocation of teaching staff shows further inconsistencies as 13 teachers cater to merely 10 students, while many schools with no teachers rely solely on 2,870 guest teachers brought in last year. Despite these numbers, the district still has 1,446 supernumerary teachers assigned unnecessarily. In response to these revelations, Sagar District Education Officer Arvind Jain acknowledged the issue and assured that immediate corrective measures are underway. Schools falling below enrollment thresholds will be closed, and resources, including students and staff, will be reallocated to optimise educational delivery. In Telangana, angry over the shortage of teachers, students and parents of Zilla Parishad High School in Shalipeta village of Chinna Shankarampet Mandal took to the streets on Friday. The students staged a rasta roko, blocking traffic on the busy Ramaaympet road for a few hours. The students said that the number of students in the high school has come down to 144 this year, while it was more than 300 a few years ago, due to lack of teachers.

In Sagar, Bundelkhand, Madhya Pradesh, a primary school has 3 teachers for just 6 students, with a nearby secondary school having 5 teachers for only 3 students. Despite regulations mandating closure of schools with fewer than 20 students, new teaching positions were recently added. The district faces a shortage of teachers, with some schools lacking any teachers and relying on guest teachers. The excessive staffing has financial implications, amounting to Rs 6070 lakh in annual salaries. Despite local preference for private schools and low student enrollment, corrective measures are being taken to optimize resources in education delivery.

Labour's David Lammy has retained his parliamentary seat in Tottenham despite a 20point drop in his vote share since 2019. Lammy thanked his campaign group and family in his speech at Alexandra Palace, where the count took place overnight following the general election held on Thursday July 4. However, proPalestine campaigners supporting independent candidate Nandita Lal, who finished third, drowned out the end of the shadow foreign secretary s victory speech. Tell us about genocide, David? and you re a genocide apologist, Lammy were shouted while the Tottenham MP described the honour he felt representing the constituency. Labour supporters chanted his name in response. . Stating people had voted for change, and that the Labour Party takes issues such as climate change seriously , Lammy concluded: As I said 22 years ago, I will continue to represent all of the people of Tottenham. . Asked by the Local Democracy Reporting Service if he thought Labour s approach to Palestine should change amid the criticism he had received, Mr Lammy said he recognised there was huge concern at the loss of life in Gaza. He said: I think that when we look at the results tonight, the Labour Party has done well across the country, they ve done well in London, people have voted for change and they ve voted for a range of issues. I do recognise of course there is huge concern at the loss of life in Gaza. Now, if we re about to take power, we can play our role in bringing about a ceasefire, a ceasefire that we ve now been calling for since the end of last year. . The MP had been challenged for abstaining on a ceasefire vote in November 2023, and for failing to sign two early day motions, with one in March calling for an end to arms sales to Israel and the other in May calling on the government to support the International Criminal Court s recent actions on the issue. In response to how frequently Gaza was mentioned when canvassing in Tottenham, Lammy said: I canvassed across Tottenham, it did come up, but by and large people are raising public services and I think you see that reflected in the votes tonight, certainly in the votes that I had. Those that stood on that single issue did not do so well relative to the 23,000 majority that I now have. . Here are the results in full:. Turnout was 53, down 7.3 points on 2019.

Bhopal Madhya Pradesh:The storm raised by the nursing college scam is not showing any signs of petering out. At a press conference on Thursday, former minister Jaivardhan Singh accused minister for department of cooperation Vishvas Sarang of giving incorrect information to the House.

Domestic markets are expected to open flat on Monday despite ruling at peak levels. According to analysts, though valuation is a concern for domestic markets, participants, especially institutions, are still in hold mode. According to them, the upcoming Budget and Q1 results of India Inc. will anchor market movement. Gift Nifty at 24,390 signals 24,379, indicating a flattish opening for Nifty. Ajit Mishra SVP of Research, Religare Broking, said: Looking forward, market direction largely will be influenced by upcoming earnings reports and discussions on the Union Budget. Global market trends, particularly the robust performance of US markets, will also be closely watched. . Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities:In the upcoming Union Budget, markets remained optimistic about strong government support for the economy, especially for the manufacturing sector. Market optimism continued to extend, with IT services finding flavour ahead of the upcoming Q1FY25 earnings season. Analysts expect FPI flows to remain volatile. Milind Muchhala, Executive Director of Julius Baer India, said: FPI activity has remained muted in the past three years, to some extent impacted by weak EM flows amid a strengthening USD and also due to the significant outperformancepremium valuations of India vs. EM peers such as China of late. Also, some funds were probably waiting on the sidelines for the election event to be over. However, we believe that India remains an attractive investment destination amid a healthy economic and earnings growth momentum, and the FPIs cannot afford to ignore the markets for too long. In the event of a global riskon environment, triggered by increasing expectations of rate cuts, it could lead to increasing flows to EM equities, with India expected to emerge as one of the bigger beneficiaries of the flows, he added. According to Dr V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, A significant feature of FPI flows is that external factors like rising bond yields in the US and low valuations in other emerging markets have triggered their selling in India. When that situation changes they again become buyers in India. In fact in recent days they have been buying the same segments and stocks at a higher price than the price at which they sold. This experience tells us that FPI selling in India is an opportunity for domestic investors. . Meanwhile, equities across the Asia Pacific region are marginally down in early Monday deals. Comments.

Pernice has already shown his frustration at the process, after instructing a top legal firm to defend him from the claims that he strongly denies. Amanda was the first celebrity to come out against Giovanni after quitting last year's series after five weeks on the dancer floor. Following this, Amanda alleged she was the victim of workplace misconduct, adding that the experience on the show gave her posttraumatic stress disorder. Since then, a number of other names have reportedly come forward with their own experiences of the Italian stallion. These includeGood Morning Britain'sRanvir Singhand formerLove IslandhostLaura Whitmore. Giovanni has said that he hopes will be vindicated by the end of the investigation. This year's series will the first since 2015 that Giovanni has not been a part of, after he quit the show over claims he had been bullying his partners. The BBC has not confirmed itself whether the probe has been widened, but did admit that more than one comment about the Sicilian's conduct has been made. Meanwhile, Giovanni is focusing on his own career, working with fellow Strictly stars Kai Widdrington and Nadja Bychkova on their own dance workshop.

Friends Read Free. After Canada lifted all COVIDera travel restrictions, air travel saw a significant rebound in 2023, but it did not reach prepandemic levels, Statistics Canada says. Major airports in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, and Calgary reported significant passenger traffic growth, each seeing at least a 24 percent increase compared to 2022, according to the report.

This reflected an easing of both pandemicinduced labour and supply challenges, allowing the passenger airline industry to meet the growing demand for travel, Statistics Canada says. In response to the pandemic, the federal government implemented several measures in 2020. These included redirecting all international flights to only four major airports and imposing a travel ban on foreign nationals entering Canada. Additional nationwide border measures were introduced, including mandatory selfisolation upon arrival, the use of the ArriveCan app to submit travel and contact information, and mandatory COVID19 vaccination requirements. Canadian airports handled a total of 2.6 percent less cargo in 2023 compared to the previous year. Domestic cargo dropped by 4 percent to 690,000 tonnes, while transborder and international cargo fell by 1.2 percent and 1.5 percent respectively.

Travel debit cardCurrenseahas surpassed its crowdfunding target in just four hours after launching on theSeedrsplatform. Currensea, a moneysaving travel card linked to existing current accounts, has already raised over 1.86m from 875 investors. Currensea initially targeted a raise of 1m in this Seedrs crowdfunding round with a company valuation of 28.5m however, due to widespread demand from investors this target has been extended allowing additional investment for a limited time. Consumer appetite for travel is rebounding to prepandemic levels figures from Deloitte indicate that 51 of UK adults are planning an overseas holiday during 2024 up 6 on last year whilst 54 of travellers expect to spend more this year. However, given the ongoing impact of the cost of living crisis, maximising the value of savings is vital. Currensea calculates UK travellers are currently spending 2.7bn in foreign exchange fees every year from using their bank cards abroad. The latest figures from UK Finance indicate that the UK s international debit card spend is up 9 on last year. The Currensea card saves at least 85 on every overseas transaction by cutting out the normal fees leveraged by banks and other providers. There has been a strong growth in usage of Currensea s solution as it surpassed 100,000 cardholders earlier this year and the card is now used globally every nine seconds. Monthly usage of the Currensea card has also doubled from last year as travellers increasingly look to reduce foreign exchange FX fees and enhance value. Since its launch in 2020, Currensea has saved travellers over 4 million in FX fees. For example, a user spending 1500 while visiting the USA would save 35 compared to using a card from a highstreet bank. The amount raised through this crowdfunding round will support future customer acquisition and continued development of Currensea s cobrand offering. James Lynn, CoFounder of Currensea said, Consumer appetite for travel has almost fully recovered from the pandemic and the unprecedented investor demand for Currensea demonstrates the need for a simple solution that eliminates FX fees and maximises the value of our savings. Smashing our initial target in record time not only demonstrates phenomenal demand but also the strong investor belief in the scalability of our solution.
