WASHINGTON (AP) — Alex Ovechkin was injured, and the Washington Capitals missed a major opportunity to move up in the standings by blowing a lead and losing 4-3 in a shootout Sunday night to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Ovechkin crashed hard into the boards early in the third period and was ruled out with what the team called an upper-body injury. His status moving forward was not immediately clear.
The Capitals coughed up a two-goal lead they build not long after Ovechkin left the game in obvious pain. They left with just a point after Toronto’s Alex Kerfoot scored to end the seven-round shootout.
Washington had the chance to move into third place in the Metropolitan Division with three games left to play in the regular season after the rival Pittsburgh Penguins lost at Philadelphia earlier in the day. An unsuccessful power play in OT cost the Capitals after the Maple Leafs were called for too many men on the ice.
As disappointing as it was for the Capitals not to beat the Leafs, losing Ovechkin could be a much bigger deal moving forward.
Ovechkin tripped over Toronto goaltender Erik Kallgren’s stick after failing to score on a breakaway attempt. His left arm and shoulder made contact with the boards, and the 36-year-old remained on the ice for several seconds while the arena went silent.
Before he could get medical attention, Ovechkin got to his feet and skated off the ice without his stick. He yelled at officials about no penalty being called on the play.
The consistently durable Russian superstar usually shakes off minor injuries and stays on the bench, as he did earlier in the night when he took a puck off his right shin. But Ovechkin went right down the tunnel this time, and his status is unclear with the start of the playoffs just over a week away.
Not long after Ovechkin exited the game, Lars Eller and Marcus Johansson scored to make it 3-1. Ilya Mikheyev scored to cut the Leafs deficit in half, and Jason Spezza tied it with 57.3 seconds left to force overtime.
Kallgren won his first NHL shootout after making 34 saves in regulation and OT. Ilya Lyubushkin also scored in the first period for the Maple Leafs, who inched closer to wrapping up home-ice advantage in the first round.
Toronto is set to open against either the back-to-back defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning or the Boston Bruins. The Capitals could still face the Florida Panthers, Carolina Hurricanes or New York Rangers in the first round.
NOTES: Maple Leafs captain John Tavares and defenseman Timothy Liljegren got the night off for rest. ... Defenseman Jake Muzzin missed a sixth consecutive game with an undisclosed injury. ... Toronto rookie of the year candidate Michael Bunting was out after getting injured Saturday night at Florida. Coach Sheldon Keefe said Bunting woke up feeling better, but the team still did not have an expected time frame for the forward’s return.
UP NEXT
Maple Leafs: Return home to face the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday in their penultimate game of the regular season.
Capitals: Host the New York Islanders on Tuesday night in the first half of a home-and-home series with former coach Barry Trotz’s team.

CAIRO — Tribal clashes between Arabs and non-Arabs in Sudan's war-ravaged Darfur region Sunday killed 168 people, a local aid group said, one of the deadliest bouts of violence in the country in recent years.
The fighting in West Darfur province comes as Sudan has been plunged into turmoil since a military coup last year. The takeover upended the country's transition to democracy after a popular uprising forced the removal of longtime autocrat Omar al-Bashir in April 2019.
The clashes raise questions over whether military leaders are capable of bringing security to Darfur, which has been wracked by years of civil war. In 2020, the U.N. Security Council ended its peacekeeping mission there.
Adam Regal, spokesman for the General Coordination for Refugees and Displaced in Darfur, said Sunday's fighting in West Darfur's Kreinik area also wounded 98 people.
The fighting grew out of the killing of two people by unknown assailants Thursday, he said.
Early Sunday, large numbers of people armed with heavy weapons launched a major attack on Kreinik, torching and looting properties, Regal said. The fighting lasted for several hours and forced thousands of people to flee their homes, he said.
Regal, whose group provides food and other assistance to displaced people in the region, shared footage of destroyed houses in the area, with some images showing pick-up trucks mounted with machine guns.
The clashes eventually reached Genena, where militias and armed groups attacked wounded people while they were being treated at the city's main hospital, said Salah Saleh, a doctor and former medical director at the hospital.
"The area was burned down, and many people were killed. ... There was no intervention" from the local government to stop the fighting, he said.
Authorities said they deployed more troops and a military aircraft to the region since fighting on Thursday left eight dead and at least 16 wounded.
Volker Perthes, the U.N. envoy for Sudan, deplored "the heinous killings of civilians ... as well as the attacks on health facilities" in West Darfur.
He called for an in-depth and transparent investigation and to hold those responsible accountable.
Darfur has seen bouts of deadly fighting between rival tribes in recent months as the country remains mired in a wider crisis following the October coup. Kreinik was the scene of clashes in December that killed at least 88 people.
The Security Council terminated the peace-keeping mission UNAMID on Dec. 31, 2020. Since then, sporadic intercommunal clashes have increased in the region.
In December, Human Rights Watch urged the U.N. to deploy monitors to Darfur, saying that the departure of UNAMID caused a "gap in monitoring the abuses" fueled by impunity for atrocities committed in in the region.
The yearslong Darfur conflict broke out when rebels from the territory's ethnic central and sub-Saharan African community launched an insurgency in 2003, complaining of oppression by the Arab-dominated government in the capital, Khartoum.
The government of al-Bashir responded with a campaign of aerial bombings and raids by the janjaweed militias, which have been accused of mass killings and rapes. Up to 300,000 people were killed and 2.7 million were driven from their homes in Darfur over the years.
Al-Bashir, who has been in prison in Khartoum since his ouster, is wanted by the International Criminal Court over charges of genocide and crimes against humanity related to the Darfur conflict.

Victor Gubarev stepped out to buy bread when he was killed by a fragment from a shell that landed in front of his apartment block in Kharkiv on Monday, minutes before his daughter arrived to find an ambulance crew standing over his body.
Crew members had to hold Yana Bachek back as they carried her father's body away following the blasts that hit the Soviet-era apartment complex where they live.
An English teacher, she said she had been preparing an online lesson in the kitchen of her one-bedroom apartment, close by her parents' flat, when the shelling started.
"I remember just the explosion," she said. "I just returned from shopping and crazy explosions, noise."
Immediately her mother, Lyubov, called, voice trembling, and said her father had gone to buy bread and was still outside. Her partner, Yevgeniy, stopped her from rushing out straight away in case there were follow-up strikes, as there were, seconds later.
"I began to call him and there was no answer," she said.
When she pulled on her coat and went out a few minutes later, her anguished reaction to the sight of her father's body was caught by photographers who had arrived with the ambulances, shortly after the blasts.
"I am sorry. I want to forget it. The picture. The one picture I saw him," Bachek said.
Along with the mass graves of Bucha near Kyiv or the destruction of the port city of Mariupol, the indiscriminate shelling of cities like Kharkiv has come to symbolize what the Kremlin has called its "special military operation" in Ukraine.
Russia says its incursion is intended to demilitarise and "denazify" Ukraine. Kyiv and its Western allies reject that as a false pretext for war.
Russia denies targeting civilians and rejects what Ukraine says is evidence of atrocities, saying Ukraine has staged them to undermine peace talks.
Gubarev's death was one of at least three on Monday in Kharkiv, which has been subjected to near-daily bombardment since Russia launched its invasion on Feb. 24.
A former driver who started working at the age of 16 and rose to become a vehicle fleet manager for the oil company Gazprom, the 79-year-old had been reluctant to leave because of health problems he and his wife suffered.
Sitting in her kitchen, occasionally fighting back tears, Bachek, their only child, shared family photos showing her father with an Elvis-style quiff on holidays by the Black Sea, beaming at Lyubov or swinging his granddaughter playfully in a shopping bag.
She described growing up in a middle-class family without a lot of money in late Soviet Ukraine, studying hard at school with her mother, a piano teacher who enjoyed concerts and theatre and her father who liked tinkering with cars and joking around with his daughter.
"In his normal life, even in war, he tried to smile, to joke, to support us. He said to us: 'You are my girls, my heroes'," she said.
Now she waits until her father can be buried but here too the war has imposed an additional agony as the sheer number of dead has grown and normal funerals have become impossible.
"It's not like we used to do - cemetery, grave, a special place where I can be separate from other people, to be calm, to speak, to cry, to put out the Easter cake," she said, referring to a Ukrainian memorial custom.
While the family waits for news, the loaf of bread Gubarev went out to buy remains, still in its plastic wrapper, on a table in the hallway, where she touches it briefly each time she goes to the door.
"The bread was in blood," she said. "Now I can't keep it in my hands, but I want to because it is a piece of my dad. It was the last thing he had in his hands." | https://www.indiatoday.in/world/russia-ukraine-war/story/bread-blood-grocery-run-death-man-ukraine-kharkiv-russia-war-1941439-2022-04-25 | 2022-04-25T02:57:36Z | https://www.indiatoday.in/world/russia-ukraine-war/story/bread-blood-grocery-run-death-man-ukraine-kharkiv-russia-war-1941439-2022-04-25 | true | 12 |
PM nominee's confirmation hearing off to rough start with opposition boycotts
SEOUL, April 25 (Yonhap) -- The confirmation hearing for Prime Minister nominee Han Duck-soo got off to a rough start Monday after lawmakers from the ruling Democratic Party (DP) and the minor progressive Justice Party boycotted the hearing, accusing Han of failing to provide requested data.
The hearing was adjourned less than an hour after it started with only members of the People Power Party in attendance. Before its adjournment, Rep. Kang Byung-won of the DP expressed his deep regret over Han's inadequate presentation of data and left the hearing room.
The DP and the Justice Party on Sunday demanded postponement of the two-day confirmation hearing, saying that it is useless to vet Han without essential data.
The parties said they plan to resume the hearing at 2 p.m.
In the hearing, Han, who is nominated as the first prime minister of President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol's incoming government, was expected to be grilled about alleged conflicts of interest related to his home rental in the 1990s and also the hefty salary he received as an adviser to law firm Kim & Chang.
In South Korea, prime minister is the only Cabinet post that requires parliamentary approval.

Best ideas for tech gifts this Mother's Day
(BPT) - Find it challenging to come up with new ideas for Mother’s Day? Show your mom how much you love and appreciate her with gifts she'll really use — such as home technology that makes life easier.
Help Mom keep her phone supercharged and clean
Americans spend more than a third of their waking hours on their phone, so consider a convenient and speedy wireless charger for your mom. Some wireless chargers are ultra-portable, while others also double as a stand for phones or other devices. Make sure to choose one that suits your mother’s needs — as well as her type of phone — and she’ll be delighted to know her phone will never run out of juice again.
Another great option for moms who love their phones is a phone sanitizer, which uses UV lights to kill viruses and bacteria. These come in a variety of sizes, and some are multi-use so mom can also sanitize her tablet, car keys and more.
Boost her Wi-Fi connectivity and security
Everyone needs a strong Wi-Fi network to work, learn, communicate and enjoy entertainment at home — and nothing is more disruptive than an unreliable connection. With more family members video conferencing, gaming and streaming at home than ever before, this puts a strain on the network your mom depends on every day. If she's coping with an old router, help her upgrade her Wi-Fi signal and speed with a new Motorola MH7603 Wi-Fi 6 mesh system , offering expandable coverage for areas up to 5,000 square feet at a speed of 1.8 Gbps so Mom can connect over 100 devices with bandwidth to spare. Each extender in the system also has two 1 gig ethernet ports for fast wired connections all around the house.
Even better, protect Mom's online privacy and identity with the Motorola MH7603 mesh system. The system comes with an intuitive moto sync app, powered by Minim , for easy setup, automatic updates and intelligent cybersecurity. When enabled, the system automatically scans for malware and blocks it in its tracks. Mom will also love the ability to block ads for faster performance and privacy. Additionally, for moms who are concerned about keeping kids safer online, the app provides customizable parental controls. Moms can create family profiles to filter content, set time limits, pause the internet, monitor each family member's usage and more with this easy-to-use app.
Give her the gift of her kids’ smiling faces
Moms love nothing more than pictures of their kids and grandkids, but if she’s running out of room to display them, a digital picture frame is the perfect solution. This will allow her to rotate which pictures — or even short videos — are displayed, or she can enjoy them as an animated slideshow. Digital picture frames come in a wide variety of price points, styles and capabilities. Most are easy to set up by connecting with a computer, thumb drive or using Wi-Fi to connect with social media or other websites where pictures are stored. Some will allow you to send photos to them via email. Do Mom a favor and set it up for her — along with new photos that are bound to bring a smile to her face.
Help her listen to her favorite content
If your mother loves listening to music, audio books or podcasts while she works or relaxes around the house, yard or garden, high-quality wireless earbuds or headphones are an ideal gift. Better yet, combine her new earbuds or headphones with a subscription to access her favorite content, such as Apple Music, Audible or Apple Podcasts.
You know your mom best, so you'll know which of these tech options will help your mom enjoy her greatest Mother's Day yet. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2580074730154/best-ideas-for-tech-gifts-this-mother-s-day | 2022-04-25T03:24:14Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2580074730154/best-ideas-for-tech-gifts-this-mother-s-day | true | 10 |

Britain will be plunged back into wintry conditions this week as mild weather is banished by a new colder weather front, according to new forecasts.
Freezing temperatures, icy frosts and snow showers are likely in the days ahead as cooler winds approach from the north.
Weather maps from independent forecaster WXCharts show overnight lows of -2C in England and Wales on Tuesday (April 25), with things also expected to drop to freezing again on Wednesday night.
It comes as the jet stream bringing mild weather to the UK has reportedly 'split', according to one weather expert.
Jim Dale, meteorologist for British Weather Services, told the Express.co.uk: “The jet stream has dislocated into two halves.
“One of these is to the north of the UK, and the other over the Continent, and in between is a large area of high pressure. This will steer winds from Scandinavia, across the North Sea into Britain bringing a return to cool, and at times, cold weather."
“This is the picture for the next week to 10 days at least.”
Temperatures will then plunge down further into what could be the coldest start to May in 25 years, with the south anticipating a widespread frost in the first days of the month.
The north of England is meanwhile expected to be battered by wintry showers and snow.
Nights are expected to leave Brits shivering in some parts of the south as temperatures are expected to fall to -2C, with the north set to be close behind with -5C.
The daunting forecast means Britain will be frostier than the 3C nights at the same time in Stockholm, Sweden.
According to the Met Office, a night that drops below 1.8C at Heathrow airport would be the coldest May temperature at the site since 1997.

The leadership continues to be Barcelona SC; beat Macará in Ambato and celebrated again in the LigaPro | National Championship | Sports
After two consecutive defeats, Barcelona SC returned this Sunday, to the path of victory. The yellow team beat Macará 0-1 at the Bellavista stadium in Ambato and remain leaders of the LigaPro.
Those led by Jorge Célico had been surpassed in the past dates, by Liga de Quito (2-0, away) and at home 0-1 by Gualaceo. The victory allows them to add 22 points and maintain a distance in the table with the albos (19) and Emelec (18).
At the beginning, the bullfighters had difficulties to settle on the field of play and the sky-blue tried to impose their rhythm.
However, the visitors tried to control their rival and had the best options through Gonzalo Mastriani, who did not have the luck to finish.
The Uruguayan attacker in half an hour of play had wasted two opportunities. First with a deflected shot and then just in front of the goal, he sent the ball over the Ambateño portico. (11 and 30 minutes).
But the Uruguayan’s lack of aim continued in the second half and at 46, Leonel Quiñónez, from the left, put in a cross but Mastriani crashed his shot into the post.
The Guayaquil team opened the scoring instantly when Adonis Preciado beat a rival’s mark and from the right handed over a pass to Jonathan Perlaza, who made it 0-1 for Barcelona (47 minutes) with a half turn.
The bullfighters were scared at 77 by an own goal by Darío Aimar, however, after reviewing the VAR, judge Augusto Aragón determined that the ball before entering the goal hit the hand of Tomás Bolzicco and the match was annulled. action.
At 86 minutes, Macará was left with 10 elements after the expulsion of Fernando Mora.(D) | https://d1softballnews.com/the-leadership-continues-to-be-barcelona-sc-beat-macara-in-ambato-and-celebrated-again-in-the-ligapro-national-championship-sports/ | 2022-04-25T03:48:05Z | https://d1softballnews.com/the-leadership-continues-to-be-barcelona-sc-beat-macara-in-ambato-and-celebrated-again-in-the-ligapro-national-championship-sports/ | false | 1 |

Japan is fractious in closely working with the US to strengthen their alliance's deterrence in the Asia-Pacific region, which has sparked deep concern among its neighbors as the US-Japan aggressive military cooperation would worsen the security environment in the region, analysts warned after the Japanese foreign minister inspected a US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the Pacific Ocean.
Japanese media reported on Sunday that Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi and US Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel inspected the US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln on Saturday. A strike group led by the vessel held joint drills with Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force in waters near the country earlier this month.
Hayashi said Japan will continue to closely work with the US to further enhance their alliance's deterrence and response capability. He added Japan will also comprehensively strengthen its defense capability, media reported.
There is no doubt that the military cooperation is targeted at containing China and Russia, said Da Zhigang, director and research fellow at the Institute of Northeast Asian Studies at Heilongjiang Provincial Academy of Social Sciences. Da told the Global Times on Sunday that since the Ukraine crisis, the US and Japan are trying to bind the so-called threat from China and Russia together, as they believe this could make their joint military operation more persuasive and reasonable.
But this cannot cover up the fact that Japan and the US are countries that keep deteriorating regional stability by "showing off their muscles" and trying to bring the "violent multilateral organization" NATO into the region, Liu Jiangyong, vice dean of the Institute of Modern International Relations at Tsinghua University, pointed out.
"Japan is moving toward a wrong direction. The harder it works, the more dangerous it will be," the expert said.
By tying itself to the US' chariot, Japan is apparently trying to change the previous peaceful image it left to the world in the past 70 years after WWII, Liu said, citing a series of moves the country made recently, including breaking many of its taboos by offering Ukraine military equipment and imposing sanctions on Russia, boosting its national military budget and following the US to realize a "free and open Indo-Pacific" which is actually a geostrategic network against China.
Also on Sunday, Japanese media outlet Nikkei revealed that Japan and the US will hold joint military drills in Hokkaido this fall, with the two-week exercises expected to involve more than 4,000 personnel.
Not only will US-Japan bilateral military drills increase, Japan is also likely to expand and deepen other military cooperation with the US, and its joining of the Five Eyes alliance in the future cannot be ruled out, Da predicted.
The US hopes Japan can become its most competent tool in East Asia, but by opening the Pandora's box of military expansion in Japan it could have a very negative and dangerous impact on the future international order and landscape, Liu warned. He urged Japan to get back to the right track which really suits its national interests and regional security with calm thinking and comprehensive judgment.
In response to the threat from the aggressive alliance, China has to enhance its national defense capacity in dealing with potential regional conflicts in traditional and non-traditional security areas, Da suggested.
Amid the Ukraine crisis, many Japanese politicians including Japanese former prime minister Shinzo Abe have hyped that the crisis has "reminded many people of the fraught relationship" between the Chinese mainland and the island of Taiwan. Abe in an article published in the Los Angeles Times recently mentioned Taiwan and Ukraine in the same breath and said the time had come for the US to make clear that it would defend Taiwan.
In response, China's Consul General in Los Angeles Zhang Ping sent a letter to the LA Times, which was published on April 23, to state that China firmly rejects this claim.
Zhang condemned Abe who made irresponsible remarks which would instigate confrontation between major countries.
"The situations in Taiwan and Ukraine cannot be compared. Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, where the People's Republic of China is the sole legal government," Zhang stressed.
The Taiwan question concerns China's core interests of sovereignty and territorial integrity. It is entirely China's internal affair, allowing no foreign interference, Zhang said, noting that China will reserve the option of taking all necessary measures in response to the interference of foreign forces and the secessionist activities of a handful of "Taiwanese independence" separatists. | http://panafricannews.blogspot.com/2022/04/japan-warned-of-worsening-regional.html | 2022-04-25T03:57:02Z | http://panafricannews.blogspot.com/2022/04/japan-warned-of-worsening-regional.html | true | 1 |

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Ryan Getzlaf scored his final NHL point with a behind-the-back pass to Adam Henrique for a goal with 2:41 to play, and the longtime Anaheim captain wrapped up a 17-year career spent entirely with the Ducks in a 6-3 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Sunday night.
With one last bit of playmaking brilliance from one of the top centers of his era, Getzlaf finished his prolific career with 1,019 points, the 88th-most in league history.
Getzlaf broke in unmarked on St. Louis goalie Ville Husso with ample time to shoot — but in keeping with the pass-first philosophy that defined his career, Getzlaf gracefully spun and put a sublime pass onto Henrique's tape for a goal.
The sellout crowd at Honda Center repeatedly roared for the Ducks' longtime captain and playmaking center from his first step on the ice to his final, teary departure. After the final whistle, he stepped under a spotlight on the center circle in the darkened arena and gave his thanks to the crowd and his family.
Jordan Kyrou, Vladimir Tarasenko, Ivan Barbashev and Justin Faulk had a goal and an assist apiece during a dominant second period by the Blues, who fell behind 2-0 in the first period before rallying for their 14th win in 16 games.
Pavel Buchnevich and Marco Scandella added third-period goals and Husso made 14 saves for St. Louis, which remained even with Minnesota for second place in the Central Division and home ice in their playoff series, although the Wild have a game in hand.
Max Comtois and Gerry Mayhew scored in the first period for the Ducks, who have lost 19 of 22 in the dismal finish to their fourth straight non-playoff season. John Gibson stopped 31 shots.
The 36-year-old Getzlaf is the Ducks' franchise leader in points, assists, playoff scoring and games played, and he served as the Ducks' captain for a team-record 12 seasons. An often-brilliant passer with impressive ice vision and a mean streak, he became the 92nd player in NHL history to score 1,000 points last November — and only the 45th to do it with one team.
He won the Stanley Cup in 2007 alongside Corey Perry, his fellow 2003 draftee and best friend. The longtime linemates spent 14 seasons together in Anaheim before Perry was released in 2019.
With their playoff hopes already dashed, the Ducks turned their home finale into a tribute game for Getzlaf. Thousands of fans eager for something to celebrate after a dismal half-decade in Anaheim hockey lined up outside two hours before the arena doors opened.
After a pregame tribute video, Getzlaf and his wife and four children joined team owners Henry and Susan Samueli at center ice. The Ducks presented Getzlaf with an around-the-world golf vacation, followed by an off-road vehicle driven onto the ice by beloved Ducks legend Teemu Selanne.
Anaheim then rode the momentum from its crowd to score on its first two shots against the Blues. Comtois banged home a doorstep pass from Vinni Lettieri, and Mayhew followed up with a slap shot through traffic from the blue line.
But the Blues' huge talent advantage showed in the second period. After Kyrou and Tarasenko got credit for goals on deflected shots, an unmarked Barbashev put the Blues ahead with his 26th goal from point-blank range before Faulk added his 16th goal.
Buchnevich scored his career-best 30th goal, and Kyrou became St. Louis' fourth 70-point scorer this season.
Tyler Bozak returned from a six-week injury absence for St. Louis, and Robert Thomas had an assist to extend his points streak to a career-best 17 games.
UP NEXT
Blues: At Avalanche on Tuesday.
Ducks: At Sharks on Tuesday. Getzlaf will not play in Anaheim's final two games.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- American Legion National Commander Paul E. Dillard issued the following statement today concerning the passing of former Sen. Orrin Hatch:
"The American Legion is saddened about the passing of Sen. Hatch. He was a true champion for veterans and an ardent supporter of a constitutional amendment to protect our American flag. His willingness to put patriotism ahead of partisan politics earned him friends across the political aisle. In 2000, The American Legion proudly presented him with our organization's Distinguished Service Medal, our highest honor. His voice is already missed."
As a presidential candidate during the primaries of 2000, the longtime Utah senator expressed dismay at those who disrespected the American flag. "I really believe that if we don't protect the values that we have, if we can't stand up for the flag of the United States, our national symbol, what can we stand up for?" Hatch told The American Legion Magazine.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui is gearing up for the release of his upcoming movie Heropanti 2. The film, which also stars Tiger Shroff and Tara Sutaria in the lead, will hit theatres on April 29. Ever since the trailer of the film has been released, Nawazuddin’s character has been making headlines. It not only gained immense appreciation from the audience but also raised excitement levels among all. In the movie, Nawazuddin will be seen playing the role of Laila – who is the main man in the world of cybercrime. Days ahead of the release of the film, in an exclusive conversation with News18.com, Nawazuddin talked about his acting journey and recalled his struggling days.
On being asked if it is easy to become an actor today, the actor agreed and added that back in 2000 (when he started his acting career) there were fewer opportunities for an aspiring actor. Nawazuddin further explained that with the coming of OTT and reality shows, people have much more opportunities today. “We struggled a little more because back then not many opportunities were available. When I turned actor in 2000, there were very few serials. Today, every actor is busy. There are web series, films, TV shows, and reality shows. Therefore, almost everyone is busy. It was a little more difficult for us. There are more opportunities today,” the actor told News18.com.
Nawazuddin also recalled his struggling days and revealed how he was told that he cannot become an actor. He further mentioned that it was only with the increase of realistic movies that people like him ‘got acceptance’. “Wherever I used to go, they used to tell me that I do not look like an actor and that’s why I should find some other work. ‘Actors are not like this, you are not an actor. Why are you wasting time’, I had to hear this, from office to office. But finally, it took me 9-10 years. There came directors who were making realistic movies. We emerged with them. Those films never used to work here, but they used to get appreciation at (film) festivals. That’s when commercial filmmakers thought of us as authentic and decided to cast us. They made films with us. That’s how I got acceptance,” the Serious Men star added.
Nawazuddin also talked about some of the harshest comments he had to hear during his initial struggling days. Recalling an incident Nawaz talked about how he was not given a television show because the makers said that they will have to ‘put some extra lights on him’. “‘Aap log dikhte nhi ho (like actors)’, ‘You are unconventional’ What else can be harsh than this? When I used to ask for work in TV shows, they used to tell me ‘We cannot cast you because it will take more time. We’ll have to put on extra lights, whereas we have to send one episode every day. If we cast you, it will take 1.5 days, we’ll face losses. Better you find something else’. Then I decided to find work in movies. I was getting hardly a scene there or maybe a 40-seconds scene or one minute or two. For 5-6 years it went like this. Then I started getting two scenes. It went on like this for another five years,” the actor shared.
Nawazuddin further talked about what kept him motivated during these difficult days and mentioned that it was his determination to become an actor which kept him positive throughout. “I had planned that this (acting) is what I want to do. That was my only motivation. I knew nothing other than this. I wanted to do this and I was ready that even if I get it after 50 years, I’ll do this,” he said.
On being asked if he considers himself the first unconventional hero of Bollywood, Nawazuddin agreed but also added that he does not believe in all this. The actor talked about how he is not unconventional because people in India are like him. He further added that it is the mindset of the people which considers him unconventional. “I think if we take today’s Bollywood into consideration, that’s a fact. But frankly speaking, I don’t believe in this. Ninety per cent of people in India are like me, they are of my height and colour. If we look from India’s point of view, I am conventional. It’s just a mindset that some people are unconventional and others are unconventional. I am conventional, people in India are like me,” he concluded.

The Wests Tigers' exhilarating win against the Rabbitohs on Saturday has been soured by news Daine Laurie's knee is worse than first thought.
Laurie was ruled out at half-time of the 23-22 win after sustaining an MCL sprain in a tackle from Cameron Murray.
Michael Maguire said the diagnosis post-game suggested Laurie would only miss the next two games.
However, scans on Monday have confirmed a more severe sprain that will see the Tigers No. 1 miss from four to six weeks.
INJURY UPDATE: Daine Laurie is expected to miss 4-6 weeks. Grade 2 MCL (knee) injury. More detailed injury report to be posted on Tuesday.
— Wests Tigers (@WestsTigers) April 25, 2022
The loss of Laurie is a big blow given the club are still without Adam Douehi, who would've been the obvious choice to slot in at fullback for next week's clash against St. George Illawarra.
Instead, Maguire is expected to name Starford To'A at the back against the Dragons, who filled in in Laurie's absence in the second half against South Sydney.
Daine Laurie won’t return after suffering a suspected MCL injury in this tackle. Typical mechanism of injury for medial stress on the knee with tackler hitting outside of lower leg, traumatic nature brings concern for moderate grade sprain. If so would require multi-week recovery pic.twitter.com/9B1gw1CiFn

30 images of squalor at Long Acre and Cook Street homes where neglected boy was exposed to drugs
Laura Heath, aged 40, has been convicted of manslaughter and child cruelty offences following the death of her seven-year-old son Hakeem Hussain in Nechells, Birmingham, in 2017
Pictures reveal the squalid state of two homes in Birmingham where a seven-year-old boy was exposed to drugs before his tragic death. Hakeem Hussain died in the garden of a flat in Cook Street, Nechells, during the early hours of Sunday, November 26, 2017 after suffering a fatal asthma attack.
His mother Laura Heath, aged 40, has been convicted of manslaughter and four counts of child cruelty, relating to neglecting his asthma and exposing him to heroin and crack cocaine. She had taken him to stay at the property after the gas and electric had been turned off at her own home in nearby Long Acre.
Both addresses were essentially drug dens for Heath who prioritised her substance addiction over Hakeem's welfare, resorting to sex work to fund it. Jurors was shown dozens of photographs of the properties which were described as dirty, cluttered and smelling of smoke.

Blackpool has received more than £5m from the Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund – but the council has warned the boost will fall short of helping to ‘level up’ the resort.
Coun Lynn Williams, leader of the Labour run council, says allocation of the cash has been based on population, rather than need.
She said: “Whilst any money received can be put to good use in Blackpool, this money is being billed as part of ‘levelling up’. All the guidance on levelling up says its purpose is to reduce the gap between the poorer and more affluent parts of the country; and yet the fund is being allocated by and large on a per capita basis, not on need or inequalities.

“Every single local authority area in the UK has received an allocation of at least £1m. To help to put this into further context, Wyre receive £4m, Ribble Valley £2m, Fylde £2.6m, Chorley £4.2m and Preston £5.2m.
“Unfortunately I struggle to see how this allocation will support a true ‘levelling up’ of the country least of all here in Blackpool.”
Blackpool has received a total allocation of £5.1m to the council, and £770,000 as part of a national programme called Multiply to improve adult literacy and numeracy aimed at helping people find jobs. The council will submit proposals in August setting out how its share of the Prosperity Fund will be used.
Blackpool South Conservative MP Scott Benton welcomed the grant, which he said could be “used across a range of projects from supporting adults who lack basic numeracy skills, helping young people into good jobs, and regenerating our high streets.”
He added: “This investment will help local residents to fulfil their potential, while reducing regional inequalities that have been left untouched for too long.”
The Government has allocated a £2.6bn package of levelling-up funding to councils across the country through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, which is widely seen as replacing European funding. | https://www.lancs.live/news/lancashire-news/blackpool-leader-asks-true-levelling-23756760 | 2022-04-25T04:41:20Z | https://www.lancs.live/news/lancashire-news/blackpool-leader-asks-true-levelling-23756760 | false | 1 |
Man charged with threatening officer travelling with Barnaby Joyce
By Sarah McPhee
A man is in custody charged with threatening an Australian Federal Police officer who was travelling with Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce on a NSW highway.
“Police will allege the man verbally threatened an AFP officer and adopted a fighting stance during Friday’s incident,” the AFP said in a statement on Monday.
The alleged confrontation occurred on the New England Highway between the regional cities of Armidale and Tamworth.
A 52-year-old man was arrested at his NSW home on Sunday by officers from Operation Wilmot, established “to help ensure the security of high-office holders and parliamentarians during the 2022 federal election”, the AFP said.
He was refused police bail and is due to face Tamworth Local Court on Monday charged with threatening to cause harm to a Commonwealth public official and failure to comply with bail conditions. The threat charge, if proven, carries a maximum penalty of five years’ imprisonment.
Detective acting Superintendent Jeremy Staunton said the AFP and its partners were “working tirelessly to identify and prosecute anyone who broke the law by harassing, menacing or threatening politicians, or those who worked with them”.
“The AFP supports political expression and freedom of speech,” he said. “However, when it leads to disruption, harassment, intimidation, threatening behaviour and damage to property, it can reach the threshold of a criminal offence.
“Politicians, candidates and the people who work with them should be able to do their jobs safely, and we will not tolerate criminal behaviour.”
Joyce said in a statement he was grateful to the police for their quick work in dealing with the matter.
“It was a sad and unsavoury incident, but we have important work to do as elected officials and this incident in no way overshadows that,” he said.
“Once again, I thank my protective detail for their bravery in keeping myself and my staff safe and I look forward to continuing our work on the campaign trail.”
On social media, Joyce said he had returned to his electorate of New England, in the state’s north, for what was a “fantastic couple of days back home”.
“Always humbling to walk the streets and say g’day to the constituents I’m fortunate to represent,” he said.

ATLANTA (AP) — The top two Republicans running for governor in Georgia launched the first of three debates Sunday by bickering over who was responsible for 2020 and 2021 Republican election losses, with former U.S. Sen. David Perdue pressing his attack that incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp is to blame for Democratic control in Washington, while Kemp fired back that Perdue was trying to pass the blame for his own loss to Democrat Jon Ossoff.
Perdue continued to showcase support for debunked claims that Democrats fraudulently won the 2020 presidential election and the 2021 U.S. Senate runoffs in Georgia.
“The election in 2020 was rigged and stolen," Perdue said during a debate sponsored by Atlanta's WSB-TV. "All the madness we see today ... all that started right here in Georgia when our governor caved and allowed out radical Democrats to steal our elections.”
Kemp said he followed the law, that Perdue was lying to voters about his claim that Kemp permitted a settlement agreement over how signatures on absentee ballots were verified, and that the secretary of state and State Election Board have primary responsibility for investigating election wrongdoing.
“I was Secretary of State for eight years," Kemp said, “and I don't need to be lectured by someone that lost their last election about what our voting laws are and who has responsibilities for those in our state.”
Kemp was not a party to the settlement agreement, but Perdue claims Kemp should have called a special session and asked lawmakers to reverse it. He also says Kemp should have done more to investigate fraud claims, saying Kemp is the “top cop” in Georgia.
Kemp was required by state law to certify the results and has repeatedly said any other course would have invited endless litigation. Federal and state election officials and Donald Trump’s own attorney general have said there is no credible evidence the election was tainted. The former president’s allegations of fraud were also roundly rejected by courts, including by judges Trump appointed.
“You have a candidate that is going to attack my record, unfortunately, all night tonight, because they didn’t have a record there to beat Jon Ossoff in 2020,” Kemp said.
The debates come as voting nears in for the May 24 primary. Counties can begin mailing absentee ballots Monday and early in-person voting begins May 2. Kemp and Perdue are scheduled to meet Thursday in Savannah and May 1 in Atlanta.
Besides Kemp and Perdue, the primary includes Republicans Catherine Davis, Kandiss Taylor and Tom Williams, who were excluded from Sunday's debate. A runoff would be held June 21 if needed.
Kemp, facing a Republican primary electorate that polls show widely believes that Trump did not lose fairly, didn't say he thought the 2020 and 2021 elections were fair, and didn't say he thought there was no fraud.
"Look, I was as frustrated as anybody else," Kemp said. "That's why we passed the strongest election integrity act in the country, because a lot of things were done by other people."
Perdue is endorsed by Trump, who has been focused on defeating Kemp. But Kemp has maintained a lead in fundraising and in the polls as he seeks a second term. That dynamic played out in the debate, with Perdue attacking and Kemp by turns defensive and dismissive.
The incumbent sought to highlight his record, including raising teacher and state employee pay, cutting taxes and quickly lifting restrictions after Georgia’s brief COVID-19 lockdown. Kemp said that's a better way to defeat Democrat Stacey Abrams than endless litigation of past elections.
“That is a record that will beat Stacey Abrams in November, not looking in the rearview mirror,” Kemp said.
Perdue, though, argues only he can win votes from Trump diehards to beat Abrams.
"He has divided us," Perdue said of Kemp. “He will not be able to beat Stacey Abrams. And if we want to protect our freedom and our values, we have to vote and we have to make sure that Stacey is never our governor.”
Kemp repeatedly deflected when asked if he supports the affluent, mostly white Buckhead neighborhood seceding from the poorer, Blacker city of Atlanta. That effort died in the state legislature this year amid opposition from business groups, some Republican lawmakers and Atlanta city leaders. Kemp said instead he was focused on reducing crime in Atlanta.
"I think the debate needs to continue," Kemp said “I’m going to continue to keep my powder dry. Let this movement come forward or not. That’s a decision that the legislature is going to make.”
Perdue said that was an example of Kemp being a “weak” governor, supporting Buckhead's exit from Atlanta.
“They’re trying to protect themselves,” Perdue said of his support for letting Buckhead split off. “And the only way to do that is to get control of their own government. Keep your powder dry? People are getting killed up there right now.”
Perdue also rapped Kemp for not doing more to arrest people in the country illegally, noting a 2018 ad where Kemp pledged to round up “criminal illegals” and transport them in his “big truck,” if needed.
“What happened, governor? Pickup break down?” Perdue asked.
Kemp defended his record, noting he has stationed Georgia National Guard members near the Mexican border. But he said said adding to the jail population would have been a bad idea at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I don't know how going around picking up people that might have COVID when our law enforcement was sending ventilators and PPE supplies to hospitals would have been a good strategy," Kemp said.

Spanish challenge stands in way of Man City-Liverpool final showdown
Issued on: Modified:
Manchester (United Kingdom) (AFP) – Real Madrid and Villarreal stand in the way of Manchester City and Liverpool taking their battle for domestic honours to the biggest stage of all next month in the Champions League final.
A clash between City and Liverpool in Paris on May 28 would mean a third all-English final in four years.
The huge economic advantage enjoyed by the Premier League in TV rights deals is behind Madrid's continued motivation to seek the comfort of guaranteed income streams from a European Super League (ESL).
However, Villarreal's run to the last four is a reminder of why there is such opposition to a closed shop ESL.
The Yellow Submarine, with just one major trophy in their history, would have been shut out of competing on the European stage had the Super League 12, which also included City and Liverpool, succeeded in forming a breakaway league last year.
Now the team from a town with a population that would fit inside Anfield are 180 minutes away from the biggest game in club football if they can derail Liverpool's quest for a quadruple.
Jurgen Klopp's men trail City by a point with five games to go in a thrilling Premier League title race.
But they got the better of City to reach next month's FA Cup final and lifted the League Cup in February.
Klopp already has experience of losing out to Villarreal boss Unai Emery on the European stage as his Sevilla side beat Liverpool in the 2016 Europa League final.
'King of the Cups'
That was just one of Emery's four Europa League titles, the last of which came when Villarreal beat Manchester United in last year's final just to qualify for the Champions League.
"They have probably the most successful cup competition manager in world football, so he knows what he is doing," said Klopp. "Unai Emery is the king of the cups. It is unbelievable what he is doing."
Liverpool's status as favourites ahead of Wednesday's first leg at Anfield is understandable given the difference in resources between the clubs.
City are also expected to reach the final for a second consecutive year despite the vast gulf in European pedigree between the English champions and Madrid.
The 13-time European champions are into their 30th semi-final, while City have reached the last four for just the third time.
But Pep Guardiola's men were convincing winners when the sides met in the last 16 two years ago.
"It's the third time we play the semi-final of the Champions League against a team who have a few Champions Leagues in the trophy cabinet," said Guardiola.
"It has to be a special night for us to enjoy it, give everything we have in our soul and after we'll see what happens."
Madrid produced a remarkable fightback from 2-0 down to beat Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 and responded after falling 3-0 down to Chelsea at the Santiago Bernabeu to reach the semi-finals in dramatic fashion.
Carlo Ancelotti's men will have home advantage again in the second leg next week, but there are doubts as to whether Los Blancos can continue to be carried by the ageing legs of Karim Benzema and Luka Modric.
The excellence achieved in the era of Klopp and Guardiola in England's north-west has seen Liverpool and City persistently rewrite the record books.
Over the next 10 days they have the chance to prove they are the two best sides in Europe by ending La Liga's challenge to English dominance of the Champions League.

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has three key signings to make after Brentford draw
TOTTENHAM surrendered their top four advantage by drawing with Brentford on Saturday.
Conte coy on potential Tottenham return for Eriksen
Tottenham's bleak draw with Brentford offered a sobering reminder to that there is plenty of work to be done for Champions League qualification just yet. With bitter rivals Arsenal having beaten Manchester United 3-1 on Saturday lunchtime, Antonio Conte's men knew that anything but a win would not be good enough to take them back into the top four. That is exactly what happened, with Conte's team struggling for creativity. The Italian will look at his side and know exactly where to improve over the summer. Express Sport takes a look at three positions that need upgrading on in north London.
Right-wing-back
Emerson Royal's poor form since he joined the club on deadline day in the summer has been a real area of concern for Conte.
The Brazilian has been erratic and was back to his usual ways in the draw in west London, and with Matt Doherty out until the end of the season, someone new and more consistent may be preferred.
Denzel Dumfries, Tariq Lamptey and Adama Traore have all been linked, but whether deals to bring one of them to the club can be done is yet to be seen.
One thing is for certain - if they cannot match the talents of Kyle Walker, Reece James or Trent Alexander-Arnold, there is no way that they will progress to really challenge those at the top of the table.
Left-wing-back
The wide berths are a key area of concern for Conte. Spurs are not leaking goals too much and defending is generally seen to be a strong point at Tottenham but offensively they are lacking.
Sergio Reguilon is in a similar predicament to Emerson, he hasn't strongly impressed Conte and an improvement could be sought after if they want to challenge for trophies.
Marc Cucurella has been linked with a move from Brighton & Hove Albion in the past, and that could be revisited if the decision is made to bid for the Spaniard.
However, other options such as Renan Lodi or Dwight McNeil could also be considered for an attacking yet defensively sturdy option to compete.
Creative midfielder
Tottenham have failed to properly replace Christian Eriksen since his move to Inter Milan in 2020.
The Dane was linked with Tottenham following his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020, but ultimately Brentford were the ones to secure his service - and he has seriously impressed in west London, and a move could well be on the cards if a deal can be reached over the summer.
Two other names that are also available on free transfers are Jesse Lingard and Paulo Dybala, both of whom can play behind the striker and out wide.
Free transfers could prove great value for Spurs and allow Conte to spend big elsewhere. | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1600393/Tottenham-Antonio-Conte-transfer-news-three-key-signings-to-make | 2022-04-25T04:49:55Z | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1600393/Tottenham-Antonio-Conte-transfer-news-three-key-signings-to-make | false | 1 |

NuScale Power LLC (“NuScale”) and Doosan Enerbility Co., Ltd. (“Doosan”) announced through a signed agreement that Doosan will begin production of forging materials for NuScale’s Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) as early as 2022, with expectations for full-scale equipment manufacturing by the latter half of 2023. Specifically, Doosan, a Korean industrials and energy company, will begin production of forging dies for NuScale’s Upper Reactor Pressure Vessel, marking the start of NuScale Power Module™ production.
We expect that the materials produced will support NuScale’s first commercial deployment of its VOYGR™ power plant for Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems’ (UAMPS') Carbon Free Power Project (CFPP) at the Idaho National Lab (INL). In conjunction with Doosan, U.S.-based suppliers and others, NuScale and the CFPP expect to bring carbon-free, safe, and reliable nuclear energy to UAMPS customers by the end of the decade.
Doosan completed a manufacturability review for the NPM in January 2021, which successfully established the manufacturing sequence and processes for the NPMs. Doosan is now working on NPM component prototype development. With this new agreement, Doosan will begin manufacturing of large forged materials used for NuScale’s SMRs in 2022 and expects to begin full-scale manufacturing of NPMs in the second half of 2023.
“Today’s announcement showcases NuScale’s commercial readiness and signals to the world that NuScale is truly the frontrunner in the race to bring SMRs to market,” said John Hopkins, NuScale President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are proud to have such a well-respected, expert leader like Doosan partnering with us in this journey to shape the future of energy.”
“Doosan Enerbility has continuously solidified a strategic cooperative relationship with NuScale Power and has made full preparation for SMR manufacturing,” said Geewon Park, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Doosan Enerbility. “The growing market demand for SMRs will also open a door for participation of our subcontractors,” he added.
This milestone builds upon NuScale and Doosan’s existing relationship, which began in 2019 when Doosan made its initial investment in NuScale. Since then, Doosan has conducted an extensive multi-year effort, completing the design for manufacture of the NPM and performing manufacturing trials to reduce schedule risk and increase cost certainty.
This announcement reflects one of NuScale’s many strong relationships with world-class suppliers and manufacturers. In addition to Doosan, NuScale continues to develop its supply chain readiness through coordination and execution of manufacturing orders with its many partners. Other agreements with U.S. and international suppliers are currently in the works to ensure NuScale can deploy its SMR technology to domestic and international customers.

How To Generate Traffic With Forum Marketing
In this article I am going to teach you how to generate targeted traffic using forums.
Forum marketing can be achieved in five easy to follow steps.
1. Find the right forum for your market
It’s really important for you to know where your target market hangs out. Whatever your chosen niche is, there will be a forum. If there isn’t you may be in the wrong niche. Why would I say that? Because competition is your friend. It demonstrates a marketplace is healthy and hungry. People are willing to spend money in that niche to solve their problems.
If you don’t already know what the popular forums are for your niche, simply search on Google “your niche + forum” and a list of forums will be returned in the search results.
2. Hang out in your niches forum
You need to know what questions people are asking. What issues people have? In short you need to know how you can add value.
You need to start getting involved and helping people. Answer peoples questions. DO NOT send them a link straight away or try selling to them. That is the worst thing you can do and it’s spamming so you could get thrown out.
3. Complete your signature
Most forums allow you to put a link into your signature. So you are not directly spamming or sending people a link. Just like article writing, if you like the value and advice I give you, you may sign up to my list. But it’s not in your face. The decision is up to you.
4. Write valuable posts and interesting thread topics
As well as answering people’s questions directly you can also start discussions or ask open questions to get people interacting.
I enjoy writing articles on forums. Informative and interesting short training pieces that help people overcome a specific problem.
If you combine that with taking an interest and helping people it won’t take long before you start to get noticed for all of the right reasons.
You will also start building your expert status at the same time. If you know what you’re talking about of course.
The same with every other traffic generation strategy though. It doesn’t take five minutes. Do not expect to see immediate results. You need to focus on this strategy and give it a chance to start working.
5. Give and you will receive
This is a very true statement in forum marketing. The more helpful and selfless you are the more people will start taking an interest in you. They will start wanting to know more about you.
I now get asked if I have a product or a course or some training I can offer, so they can learn more. It’s a great feeling when people start approaching you rather you having to chase them and almost force them to take a look at your sales page.
That’s when you know you are giving a lot more than you are receiving and giving more value.
This of course is the way it should be.

Why Sales and Marketing MUST Align
Let’s talk about a sales and marketing problem most companies have struggled with for years. I’m not talking about lead generation, market share, or customer retention, although it does impact each of those things and so much more. I’m talking about the chasm that separates Sales and Marketing.
Take a look at a typical day in the life of both Sales and Marketing to see if you can relate…
A Day in the Life of a Marketer
A marketer works hard to generate leads for her sales team. She optimizes conversion opportunities across her company’s website, delivers email campaigns, builds landing pages and delivers valuable gated content. Her work generates a steady stream of leads, which she immediately passes along to the sales team. Because, after all, more leads is better, right?
Our marketer toils away each day to create valuable marketing content and sales support materials. She sends emails to the sales team to notify them each new piece of content as it is finalized. She even uploads each new item to the company’s Dropbox account so everyone can access it.
Ah, sweet success!
But not for long…
Her blood boils when she learns her sales reps haven’t even so much as looked at the leads she has been generating. She shivers with frustration when she finds out most of the sales team is somehow unaware of most of the content she has created. How can this be possible?
Marketing feels undervalued and ignored.
A Day in the Life of a Sales Rep
On the other side of the Grand Sales and Marketing Canyon, a sales rep spends her day responding to urgent prospect requests, traveling from meeting to meeting, communicating with customers, reacting to unexpected changes with buyers – hers is a life of constant chaos and change.
She often needs content in order to respond to immediate needs of her prospects. However, this leads to frustration because the materials she has access to are not the materials she needs. They are outdated or – worse yet – they don’t even seem to exist. This often means she ends up creating content on the spot. This requires time she simply doesn’t have. She can’t understand why Marketing doesn’t produce the content she needs.
To top it off she receives endless notifications from Marketing about new leads she to follow up with, adding pressure to her already stress-filled day. She doesn’t have time to stay on top of communication with her own prospects, let alone a list of new leads from Marketing. Besides, Marketing leads never seem to be qualified and following up with them always seems to be a waste of her time.
Sales feels misunderstood and unsupported by Marketing.
Sound familiar? Yeah, I thought so.
Unfortunately, this situation is incredibly common. Marketers are not alone in their feelings of being undervalued and ignored. In fact, as much as 80% of marketing leads will never be acted upon by Sales. And according to the American Marketing Association, a whopping 90% of selling content is never actually used in selling.
Sales reps, too, are justified in their frustration. The CMO council found that instead of selling, sales people spend upwards of 40% of their time creating their own messaging and tools. Also, according to HubSpot, only 27% of leads sent to sales by marketing are qualified first.
Pretty sad statistics, right? So why is it happening? It’s that chasm I mentioned earlier between Sales and Marketing. These two teams are disconnected in a big way and it’s taking a toll on the companies they work for.
It’s time to close the gap and align Sales and Marketing once and for all. While you would probably agree, you may not fully understand why it’s so important or what you can do about it.
Why Sales and Marketing MUST Align
Reason #1: Your Customers See It
According to the IDC, as much as 57% of customers feel that salespeople are poorly preparedor not prepared at all for initial meetings.
Could it be that these sales reps didn’t have the resources they needed to properly prepare for these initial meetings? After all, these meetings with prospective customers are pretty important to sales reps – they are key milestones in the sales process! The vast majority of sales reps would certainly want to be prepared for them so they could be as successful as possible. They just didn’t have the content they needed to adequately prepare.
Sales reps need content to effectively engage prospects and close sales. But not just any content will do. They need content that speaks directly to the needs, challenges and preferences of prospects. And they need to be able to access the most current versions of it whenever they need it.
What To Do
Take the first step toward Sales and Marketing alignment and talk to the sales reps directly. Work to clearly understand the challenges they face throughout the sales process. Ask them about the gaps they see in your marketing content. Try to understand how they need to access content and when and where they need it most. Attempt to learn what marketing support has worked and what has not – and why. Listen to their feedback and list the ways you can better serve your sales reps.
One strategy I like to use is asking sales reps to write down questions they frequently receive from prospects. Then, use this list of FAQs as a list of content you can create to directly support the sales reps the next time they encounter such inquiries.
The important takeaway here is that marketers can take the first step toward Sales and Marketing alignment by starting a simple conversation with sales reps. Just ask them what they need and work out a way to deliver it.
Reason #2: Lead Overload
When Sales and Marketing aren’t aligned, inefficiencies are bound to happen. Like the examples given above, chances are pretty good that Marketing is delivering leads that Sales will never touch. With increasing adoption of marketing automation platforms and their ability to help marketers do more than ever before, marketers are capable of generating a lot of leads. That’s great. What’s not so great is when they just pass them all along to sales.
Why is this such a problem? When sales reps are given more leads than they are physically able to follow up with, they become saturated… and those leads get neglected Here’s an example:
Let’s say you’ve been striving to reach a lead generation goal of 30 leads per rep per week. That sounds great! That is, until you learn that each rep typically has about two hours per week to follow up with leads and each lead typically requires about 20 minutes of follow up time. You now realize that each rep has the capacity to follow up with just six leads each week. You have been working hard to send them 30.
See the problem here? In this scenario, you would be sending them 24 more leads than they can physically handle. Every. Single. Week.
What you thought was great marketing success was actually overloading sales. And it was leading to neglected leads.
What To Do
As the previous example briefly mentioned, one of the first steps in solving this problem is by talking to your sales reps and Sales leadership directly to understand the realistic number of leads each rep can follow up with each week. Then adjust the number of leads you deliver accordingly.
This doesn’t mean you aim try to generate fewer leads. Not at all. Instead, it means you might need to nurture them and better qualify them before handing them off to Sales.
More work for marketing? Perhaps. But wouldn’t it be worth it if your work was actually used? By nurturing leads before handing them off to Sales, you increase the chances of the leads you deliver actually becoming customers.
On average, according to a Demand Gen Report nurtured leads produce a 20% increase in sales opportunities versus non-nurtured leads. What’s more, companies that excel at lead nurturing generate 50% more leads that are truly sales-ready. Even better – they produce these leads a third of the cost of companies that aren’t so great at lead nurturing.
Invest some time in better understanding Sales and each rep’s capacity for following up with leads. Then refine your lead nurturing process to improve the quality and rethink the quantity of leads you deliver to sales.
Reason #3: Revenue Gone to Waste
When sales reps spend time searching for or creating content, this not only duplicates the efforts of marketing, it also pulls them away from important sales opportunities. And those wasted opportunities add up to wasted revenue – lots of it.
Consider this: A study by IDC found that by saving a single sales rep just 60 minutes of prep time each week, a company could realize additional revenue generation $300,000 or more per rep! In a company with just 10 reps, that’s $3 million each year. If you’ve got 100 reps, that’s a staggering $300MM per year.
If just 60 minutes of prep time can translate into $300,000 in revenue, just imagine how much potential revenue is wasted in your organization as sales reps struggle to find the content they need.
What To Do
Clear out the clutter. As you work to build a better relationship with your sales reps and establish more frequent, meaningful communication, look for ways you can reduce the clutter – in both of your lives.
Quite often, technology can help here. There are apps available today to help manage content. Anything from Google Drive to Basecamp, Dropbox to Salesforce – any number of tools can serve as a virtual marketing library for your content. Each one is available anywhere and on any device with an internet connection so sales reps should have no problem getting the content they need whenever they need it.
If you can commit to making only the most current versions of content available in this marketing library, ask your sales reps to also make a commitment. Ask them to retrieve these up-to-date versions of content whenever they need to use it – instead of using outdated content stored elsewhere or creating their own.
Close the gap between Sales and Marketing. Reach out to Sales to better understand their challenges and needs. Work together to better serve your customers. Sure, it will improve your business and probably increase revenue, but it will also improve your workplace happiness, and can you really put a price on that?

‘I have a panic attack every Survival Day’: Why Western therapy wasn’t the answer for Portia
By Sophie Aubrey and Jewel Topsfield
Portia Walker-Fernando was 16 when she first saw a counsellor, overwhelmed by anger and distress that her brother was being bullied at school because he was Indigenous.
“The racism was fairly frequent,” says Walker-Fernando, a Bundjalung woman, from the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, who, at 24, still carries anxiety and depression.
“As a 16-year-old who was trying to understand why, it really, really hurt. Being Indigenous and being black is something you can’t change.”
Walker-Fernando says intergenerational trauma and racism have contributed to her mental health issues, with her anxiety spiking every year about January 26.
“Looking at our history and our story, there’s so much trauma embedded in that. I have a panic attack pretty much every Survival Day – or Australia Day – because of that really strong impact that it has on me,” she says.
“No one’s been given the life tools to be able to heal from these traumas, so we’re still carrying them today.”
Half the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who experience racial discrimination report feelings of psychological distress, according to a Victorian study by the Lowitja Institute, meaning they are vulnerable to developing anxiety and depression.
One in three Indigenous people experience high or very high levels of psychological distress – 2.3 times the rate for non-Indigenous Australians.
But 77 per cent of all Indigenous people aged 18-24 who had experienced high or very high psychological distress had not seen a health professional, data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare shows.
Aboriginal people are reluctant to access services that make them feel culturally unsafe, says Sheree Lowe, the executive director of the Centre for Aboriginal Social and Emotional Wellbeing in Victoria. She says culturally safe services are free of racism and discrimination and respect diversity of cultures.
“Large institutions and systems are not designed for Aboriginal people and have been a significant contributor to the trauma Aboriginal people have experienced as a result of deliberate government approaches to assimilate Aboriginal people,” Lowe said.
The Victorian government established the Aboriginal Social and Emotional Wellbeing Centre as a response to the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System, which delivered its final report in February last year.
“The mental health system has failed to genuinely recognise or reckon with the many ways in which it has excluded Aboriginal people, and it has failed to acknowledge the ways in which it has contributed to or exacerbated mental illness,” the royal commission found. “Perhaps most devastatingly, it has failed to change.”
Lowe believes investment in Aboriginal-led approaches will address the over-representation of Indigenous people with mental health conditions. She points to Victoria’s Indigenous suicide rate, which jumped from 20 in 2020 to 35 in 2021, a 75 per cent increase.
“Having a culturally safe system is one part of the solution of addressing data such as this,” she said.
Walker-Fernando is one of the young people The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald interviewed for Enough, its podcast on youth mental health.
She says while Western therapy did help her at first, there was always something missing, and the focus was always on her finding a solution quickly.
This changed in 2021 when she was introduced to We Al-li, an Indigenous organisation that provides a culturally informed, trauma-integrated healing approach using traditional methods.
There, Walker-Fernando sat in a yarning circle – a safe space for all to speak without judgment that has been used by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people for thousands of years – with her mother and other Indigenous elders.
“It was absolutely amazing. It was about deep listening, and it was about storytelling and understanding my story and why I do what I do,” Walker-Fernando says.
“It actually made me come out feeling more empowered. It wasn’t like they were telling me how to fix my problems. They gave me the space to address that myself.”
We Al-li chief executive Dr Carlie Atkinson, of Yiman-Bundjalung heritage, believes the mental health benefits of Indigenous healing practices, which involve movement, art and music, can be wide-reaching. She recently set up a community healing hub in Lismore, NSW, to support residents affected by the floods.
“When people are hurting, what they want is a sense of connection and belonging. They don’t want the sharp edges of a formalised clinical mental health space,” Atkinson says.
“These programs work really well with our mob because it’s our way of doing things, but they also work for all humans.”
Last month Australia’s first national Indigenous crisis hotline 13 YARN was established in collaboration with Gayaa Dhuwi (Proud Spirit) Australia, supported by Lifeline.
Everyone who answers the 24/7 telephone helpline is of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage.
“The feedback that I’ve had from the community is that when they ring mainstream services, such as Lifeline or seek out counselling, they often have to educate the person they are seeking advice from on the cultural differences between Aboriginal and non Aboriginal people,” says national program manager Marjorie Anderson.
“Our family dynamics, our link to the land, our family structure is very different and our culture is very different, so they often have to educate the person on themselves before they can get the help they need.”
By contrast, every aspect of 13 YARN has been designed to be culturally appropriate – from the non-typical conversation approach to the welcome message and Aboriginal hold music.
Kirsty Fealy, a 23-year-old Ngunnawal woman and student teacher, draws on her culture to help with her own and others’ mental health.
For two years she helped run a First Nations art therapy program called ArtMob at a headspace centre in Melbourne’s western suburbs.
“There’s a lot of distrust with First Nations people in mental health services,” she says. “Mainstream therapy does not necessarily work for everybody, and that’s OK.”
Fealy first experienced anxiety as a child; her parents had a messy divorce when she was young, then later, in year 12, she struggled with burnout.
Going for a walk, watching the river and taking her shoes off in the grass are simple self-care techniques that make her feel connected to land.
“First Nations people have lived on this earth for thousands and thousands of years, so reflecting on that and realising how much that actually gives me peace made me start to slowly practise self-care a little bit more,” she said.

Jurors have heard — and rejected — an array of excuses and arguments from the first rioters to be tried for storming the U.S. Capitol. The next jury to get a Capitol riot case could hear another novel defense this week at the trial of a retired New York City police officer.
Thomas Webster, a 20-year veteran of the NYPD, has claimed he was acting in self-defense when he tackled a police officer who was trying to protect the Capitol from a mob on Jan. 6, 2021. Webster's lawyer also has argued that he was exercising his First Amendment free speech rights when he shouted profanities at police that day.
Webster, 56, will be the fourth Capitol riot defendant to get a jury trial. Each has presented a distinct line of defense.
An Ohio man who stole a coat rack from a Capitol office testified he was “following presidential orders” from Donald Trump. An off-duty police officer from Virginia claimed he only entered the Capitol to retrieve a fellow officer. A lawyer for a Texas man who confronted Capitol police accused prosecutors of rushing to judgment against somebody prone to exaggerating.
Those defenses didn't sway the juries at their respective trials. Collectively, a total of 36 jurors unanimously convicted the three rioters of all 17 counts in their indictments.
Webster faces the same fate if a federal judge's blistering words are any guide. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta, who will preside over Webster's trial, has described his videotaped conduct as “among the most indefensible and reprehensible” that the judge has seen among Jan. 6 cases, with “no real defense for it.”
“You were a police officer and you should have known better,” Mehta told Webster during a bond hearing last June, according to a transcript.
But a dozen jurors, not the judge, will decide the case against Webster, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who retired from the NYPD in 2011. Jury selection is scheduled to start on Monday.
A wealth of video evidence and self-incriminating behavior by riot defendants has given prosecutors the upper hand in many cases. Mary McCord, a Georgetown University Law Center professor and former Justice Department official, said jurors often won't have to rely on witness testimony or circumstantial evidence because videos captured much of the violence and destruction on Jan. 6.
“When I was a prosecutor trying cases, I would have loved to have had cases where the entire crime was on video. That just doesn’t happen that often. But for jurors, it can be very powerful,” she said.
Webster's trial is the sixth overall. In a pair of bench trials, a different federal judge heard testimony without a jury before acquitting one defendant and partially acquitting another.
U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump nominee who acquitted Matthew Martin of all charges, said it was reasonable for the New Mexico man to believe that police allowed him to enter the Capitol. In the first bench trial, McFadden convicted New Mexico elected official Couy Griffin of illegally entering restricted Capitol grounds but acquitted him of engaging in disorderly conduct.
Stephen Saltzburg, a George Washington Law School professor and former Justice Department official, said it may be difficult for prosecutors to secure convictions against defendants who merely entered the Capitol and didn’t exhibit any violent or destructive behavior.
“I think the people with the best chances are those who say, ‘I was just there and I got swept up with everybody else.’ The government is going to have to have some way to show there’s more than that or the government will lose," Saltzburg said.
Webster brought a gun and a Marine Corps flag attached to a metal pole when he traveled alone to Washington from his home in Florida, New York, a village approximately 70 miles northwest of New York City. He wore his NYPD-issued bulletproof vest but says he left the pistol in his hotel room when he headed to the Jan. 6 rally where Trump spoke.
Police body camera video captured Webster’s confrontation outside the Capitol with a line of officers, including one identified only as “Officer N.R.” in court papers.
The unnamed Metropolitan Police Department officer described the encounter in a written statement. The officer said Webster swung the flagpole at him in a downward chopping motion, hitting a metal barricade, then charged at him with clenched fists.
“He pushed me to the ground and attempted to violently tear away my gas mask and ballistic helmet. This caused me to choke and gasp for air before another participant at the riot helped me to my feet,” the officer wrote.
The officer said he retreated behind a police line after Webster pinned him to the ground.
“His actions, attack and targeted assault caused me to fear for my life and could have easily left my wife and two small children without a husband and father,” the officer wrote.
Defense attorney James Monroe has claimed the unnamed officer gestured toward Webster, “inviting him to engage in a fight,” before reaching over a police barrier and punching Webster in his face. Webster "used that amount of force he reasonably believed necessary to protect himself" by tackling the officer to the ground, Monroe said in a court filing.
Mehta, however, said the video doesn't show Webster getting punched in the face. The judge described Webster as an instigator.
“It was his conduct that sort of broke the dam, at least in that area,” Mehta added.
Webster, now a self-employed landscaper, enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1985, was honorably discharged in 1989 and joined the NYPD in 1991. His department service included a stint on then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s private security detail.
Monroe claimed “Officer N.R.” had reached over a metal barrier and pushed a “peaceful” man who was blinded by pepper spray.
“As a former U.S. Marine and a member of law enforcement, Mr. Webster’s moral instinct was to protect the innocent,” Monroe wrote.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Hava Mirell has argued that Webster should be held to a higher standard given his professional experience.
“If he were there to protect the innocent, then he should have been fending other rioters off from the barricade, not the other way around,” Mirell said at the bond hearing.
Webster faces six counts, including assaulting, resisting or impeding an officer using a dangerous weapon. He's the first Capitol riot defendant to be tried on an assault charge. He isn't accused of entering the Capitol.
More than 780 people have been charged with riot-related federal crimes. The Justice Department says over 245 of them have been charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement. More than 250 riot defendants have pleaded guilty, mostly to nonviolent misdemeanors.
Jurors convicted two rioters of interfering with officers. One of them, Thomas Robertson, was an off-duty police officer from Rocky Mount, Virginia. The other, Texas resident Guy Wesley Reffitt, also was convicted of storming the Capitol with a holstered handgun.
The third Capitol rioter to be convicted by a jury was Dustin Byron Thompson, an Ohio man who said he was following Trump's orders.
“Even if jurors accepted that (Thompson) felt like he was doing what the former president wanted, that still wouldn’t be a legal excuse,” said McCord, the Georgetown professor. “When juries are able to witness what happened, they can make that assessment relatively easily.” | https://www.local10.com/news/politics/2022/04/25/jurors-reject-array-of-defenses-at-capitol-riot-trials/ | 2022-04-25T05:08:50Z | https://www.local10.com/news/politics/2022/04/25/jurors-reject-array-of-defenses-at-capitol-riot-trials/ | false | 62 |
CANAKKALE, Turkey (AP) — Travelers from Australia and New Zealand joined Turkish and other nations’ dignitaries at the former World War I battlefields at Gallipoli for a solemn service at dawn Monday to remember troops killed during an unsuccessful British-led campaign that aimed to take the Ottoman Empire out of the war.
As the sun rose, participants held a minute of silence to reflect on the sacrifices of tens of thousands of soldiers from the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps, known as Anzacs, who landed at the beaches at Gallipoli, in northwest Turkey.
“At this time 107 years ago, on ships that covered the ocean off this tiny bay, thousands of Australians and New Zealanders were preparing to land on this rugged coast,” New Zealand army chief, Maj. Gen. John Boswell, said during the ceremony. “For all but a few, this was to be the first experience of the horrors of combat.”
“Most were convinced that, as one New Zealand soldier wrote in his story: ‘It will be the greatest day in our lives.’ The sunrise they witnessed that day was for all too many to be the last they ever saw,” he continued. “Across our countries, home after home was plunged into mourning.”
The Gallipoli campaign aimed to secure a naval route from the Mediterranean Sea to Istanbul through the Dardanelles, and knock the Ottomans out of the war. The April 25, 1915, landings marked the start of a fierce battle that lasted for eight months.
More than 44,000 Allied soldiers and 86,000 Ottoman soldiers died.
The battlefields and cemeteries at the site in Canakkale, in northwestern Turkey, have become a place for pilgrimage for many Australians and New Zealanders who sleep on the beaches until the start of the dawn service. But the ongoing coronavirus pandemic kept the number of visitors small.
Among those who made it to the ceremony was 27-year-old Taylor Murphy from Victoria, Australia, who said the pros of being at Gallipoli "outweighs the cons of the pandemic.”
“It feels quite surreal to be here,” she said. “We are feeling quite emotional.”
The tragic fate of troops from Australia and New Zealand is believed to have inspired the two nations to carve up national identities distinct from the British. Anzac Day is marked as a coming of age for the two nations.
Gallipoli is also considered to be an important turning point in the history of modern Turkey. It was at Gallipoli that Mustafa Kemal Ataturk rose to prominence as a commander of the Turkish forces and went on to lead Turkey’s War of Independence and found the Turkish Republic.
On Sunday, the remains of 17 missing French soldiers were handed over to French military officials and put to rest alongside other fallen comrades during separate remembrance ceremonies that were held for French, British and other soldiers. Their remains were found during restoration work on a castle and surrounding areas on the Canakkale Peninsula.
Only one out of the 17 French soldiers — Cpl. Paul Roman, of the 1st Engineers Regiment — has been formally identified.

PARIS (AP) — The far-right has gone mainstream in France.
That's the headline from the landmark showing by Marine Le Pen in the French presidential election. The fierce nationalist didn't win Sunday. But she edged another step closer — snatching a victory of sorts from her defeat to reelected President Emmanuel Macron.
With 41.5% of the vote, unprecedented for her, Le Pen's anti-foreigner, anti-system politics of disgruntlement are now more entrenched than ever in the psyche, thinking and political landscape of France.
Since the Le Pen dynasty — first her dad, Jean-Marie, and now Marine, his daughter — first started contesting presidential elections in 1974, never have so many French voters bought into their doctrine that multicultural and multiracial France, a country with the words “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” inscribed on its public buildings, would be richer, safer and somehow more French if it was less open to foreigners and the outside world.
Had she become France’s first woman president, her plan for fighting Islamic terrorism would have included stripping part of France’s population – women who are Muslims – of some of their liberty. She wanted to ban them from wearing headscarves in public – hardly very equal or fraternal. Same goes for her proposals to move French citizens to the front of lines for jobs, benefits and housing.
For headscarf-wearing voter Yasmina Aksas, Le Pen's defeat wasn't a celebration moment — not with such strong backing for her and ideas that “used to be limited to militant far-right groups” becoming increasingly acceptable in polite company.
“It’s still 40% of people voting for Le Pen," the 19-year-old law student said. "It’s not a victory.”
Internationally, Le Pen wanted to start diluting France’s relationships with the European Union, NATO and neighbor Germany — moves that would have been seismic for the architecture of peace in Europe, in the midst of Russia's war in Ukraine.
In short, France escaped a political, social and economic electroshock by not voting in Le Pen.
Or perhaps just delayed one, should she choose to stand again in 2027. That's a long way off. Much could change. But Le Pen isn't done yet.
“In this defeat, I can’t help but feel a form of hope," she said. “I will never abandon the French."
Surpassing 40% of the vote elevates Le Pen into illustrious, mainstream company. Since Gen. Charles de Gaulle beat François Mitterrand by 55% to 45% in 1965, all defeated finalists lost 40-something to 50-something.
With two exceptions, both named Le Pen.
Jean-Marie was trounced 82% to 18% by Jacques Chirac in 2002 and Marine lost 66% to 34% to Macron in 2017.
Voters used to regard it as their civic duty to keep the Le Pens’ score low, seeing a ballot against them as a blow against racism and xenophobia. Fewer think that way now.
By championing cost-of-living issues, befriending the working class, changing her party’s name and distancing herself from her father, Le Pen broadened her appeal and made herself less scary to growing swaths of France's electorate. Immigration isn't the top concern for all her supporters. They're not all wary of the EU, Muslims and foreigners. But Le Pen does speak to many who feel unheard and uncared for by officials in Paris and Brussels.
And so although Macron became the first French president in 20 years to win a second term, he also has failed: Failed to achieve the goal that he set himself at the outset of his presidency.
Five years ago, in his triumphant victory speech, Macron pledged to cut the ground from under Le Pen’s feet by assuaging the voter anger she feeds on.
“I will do everything in the five years to come so there is no more reason to vote for the extremes,” he said.
Yet France’s extremes are now doing better than ever, finding growing, enthusiastic and completely unabashed audiences for “us against them” far-right rhetoric.
In far-right speak, “us” are largely white and Christian people being submerged by migration, impoverished by globalization, terrorized by Islamic fundamentalists and losing their French identity to imported cultures, religions and values.
“Them” are all those they blame: the elites, foreigners, financiers, the EU, Muslims, “the system.” Their list is long.
The market for their politics has become so large that this election saw several strains of extremism to choose from.
Rabble-rousing former TV pundit Eric Zemmour, who has been repeatedly convicted of hate speech, placed fourth out of the 12 candidates in the first round of voting on April 10. He makes racial arguments that white French people risk being replaced by non-European immigrants and their children. He sugarcoated France’s collaboration with its Nazi occupiers in World War II. During his campaign, he filled auditoriums with audiences for his anti-Islam, anti-immigration invective.
For Le Pen, he also had the advantage of making her look vanilla and electable in comparison, which also partly explains why she did so well. Together, the far right won 32% of the first-round vote.
Now Le Pen has taken another step forward against Macron in the runoff.
Not enough to get into power.
But closer than ever.

Hunter Biden is prime target if Republicans win Congress
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.

- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Hunter BidenJoe Biden's son
- Joe Biden46th and current president of the United States
- Elise StefanikAmerican politician
WASHINGTON (AP) — Intelligence officials had gathered to brief select members of Congress on future threats to U.S. elections when a key lawmaker in the room, No. 3 House Republican Elise Stefanik of New York, tried to move the discussion to a new topic: Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Stefanik, who serves on the House Intelligence Committee, asked the officials during the April 1 briefing whether they had any evidence of Russian involvement in the release of Biden’s laptop to the news media in the fall of 2020 — a possibility floated by high-ranking former government officials in the weeks before the presidential election. Intelligence officials told Stefanik the question would be better answered by law enforcement.
Stefanik’s query, shared with The Associated Press by a person who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the private meeting, reflects a widespread sentiment in the GOP that questions about the financial dealings of President Joe Biden’s son remain unanswered. And they say they intend to do something about it.
As Republicans prepare for a possible return to power amid rising hopes of winning the House and the Senate in the November elections, they are laying the groundwork to make Hunter Biden and his business dealings a central target of their investigative and oversight efforts.
Republican lawmakers and staff have discussed analyzing specific messages and financial transactions found on the laptop and have also discussed issuing congressional subpoenas to foreign entities involved in paying Hunter Biden, according to people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. The conversations have been in the early stages but have included talks of bringing on Republican lawyers and former Justice Department officials to help lead the investigations, the people said.
The White House in turn is preparing to defend the president from any allegations of wrongdoing and make the case that Republicans are driven by opportunism. Democrats are likely to point out how Republicans did not seek investigations into President Donald Trump's own business pursuits in Russia and China or into the foreign dealings of his children and son-in-law while they held key campaign or White House roles.
It all raises the possibility of a messy, politically explosive showdown between a GOP-controlled Congress and the White House, one that could delve deeply into the affairs of the president’s family and shape the contours of the 2024 race for the White House.
Hunter Biden’s taxes and foreign business work are already under federal investigation, with a grand jury in Delaware hearing testimony in recent months. While he never held a position on the presidential campaign or in the White House, Hunter Biden's membership on the board of a Ukraine energy company and his efforts to strike deals in China have long raised questions about whether he traded on his father’s public service, including reported references in his emails to the “big guy.”
Joe Biden has said he's never spoken to his son about his foreign business. And there are no indications that the federal investigation involves the president in any way. The White House declined to comment and a lawyer for Hunter Biden did not respond to an email.
Republican leaders see Hunter Biden as a unifying force that can bring together different factions of the GOP and potentially satiate those calling for more dramatic action. Some members of the hard-line House Freedom Caucus have said the first order of business for a Republican majority should be an impeachment trial of Joe Biden in retaliation for the two impeachments of Trump.
There’s also increasing discussion among Republicans about urging the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel, said people familiar with the matter.
“Hunter Biden’s fair game because I believe Hunter Biden is a national security risk,” said Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, who is in line to take over the House Oversight Committee if Republicans win the House. “Hopefully, when I get the gavel, we’ll take it a step further.”
In preparation, Comer's oversight staff has already begun to make document requests and archived information related to the president’s son.
The New York Post first reported in October 2020 that it had received from Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, a copy of a hard drive of a laptop that Hunter Biden had dropped off 18 months earlier at a Delaware computer repair shop and never retrieved.
The story was greeted with skepticism due to questions about the laptop's origins, including Giuliani's involvement, and because top officials in the Trump administration had already warned that Russia was working to denigrate Joe Biden ahead of the November election. The Kremlin had also interfered in the 2016 race by hacking Democratic emails that were subsequently leaked.
Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee now want to probe the origins of a widely shared letter from 50 former intelligence officials released a week after the New York Post story. The letter claimed the laptop carried "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation” and suggested that “the Russians are involved in the Hunter Biden email issue.”
Joe Biden in the second presidential debate, responding to Trump’s reference to the “laptop from hell,” said “there are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what he’s accusing me of is a Russian plant.” That statement went further than the letter, though it was immediately and widely reported as having labeled the laptop as disinformation. Trump and many Republicans accused Biden of invoking Russia to avoid scrutiny about his son.
No evidence has emerged since of any Russian connections to the laptop or the emails. A declassified U.S. intelligence assessment of the 2020 election alleged that Russian leader Vladimir Putin authorized multiple efforts in support of Trump. Russian state media amplified “disparaging content” about Biden “including stories centered on his son,” the assessment said, which also alleges Putin had “purview” over the activities of a Ukrainian lawmaker who met with Giuliani.
Giuliani’s attorney, Robert Costello, called allegations that the Russians were behind the laptop “absurd.” Stefanik in a statement said “any alleged attempt by the intelligence agencies or intelligence community leadership to portray the facts surrounding Hunter Biden’s laptop as misinformation needs to be investigated and prosecuted.”
Meanwhile, GOP Sens. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Chuck Grassley of Iowa, who in 2020 issued a report on Hunter Biden and his work on behalf of Ukraine gas company Burisma, recently made a presentation on the Senate floor laying out allegations they say the media have ignored but the Justice Department and Congress need to investigate.
“The Biden administration has been totally unresponsive to our oversight requests,” Grassley said.
For now, the Biden administration and many top Democrats are not commenting publicly on Hunter Biden. But the White House has already reassigned communications staff to prepare to respond to GOP investigations of Hunter Biden and other likely targets, including the origins of the coronavirus and the American withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Democrats are expected to argue that Hunter Biden is ultimately a distraction to most voters concerned about domestic issues. The current House Oversight chair, Rep. Carolyn Maloney of New York, previewed that argument in a statement responding to Comer, her Republican counterpart.
Said Maloney: "I’d hope my colleagues on the other side of the aisle would be more focused on delivering for the American people than on phony outrage.”

PARIS (AP) — The far-right has gone mainstream in France.
That’s the headline from the landmark showing by Marine Le Pen in the French presidential election. The fierce nationalist didn’t win Sunday. But she edged another step closer — snatching a victory of sorts from her defeat to reelected President Emmanuel Macron.
With 41.5% of the vote, unprecedented for her, Le Pen's anti-foreigner, anti-system politics of disgruntlement are now more entrenched than ever in the psyche, thinking and political landscape of France.
Since the Le Pen dynasty — first her dad, Jean-Marie, and now Marine, his daughter — first started contesting presidential elections in 1974, never have so many French voters bought into their doctrine that multicultural and multiracial France, a country with the words “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” inscribed on its public buildings, would be richer, safer and somehow more French if it was less open to foreigners and the outside world.
Had she become France’s first woman president, her plan for fighting Islamic terrorism would have included stripping part of France’s population – women who are Muslims – of some of their liberty. She wanted to ban them from wearing headscarves in public – hardly very equal or fraternal. Same goes for her proposals to move French citizens to the front of lines for jobs, benefits and housing.
For headscarf-wearing voter Yasmina Aksas, Le Pen's defeat wasn't a celebration moment — not with such strong backing for her and ideas that “used to be limited to militant far-right groups” becoming increasingly acceptable in polite company.
“It’s still 40% of people voting for Le Pen," the 19-year-old law student said. "It’s not a victory.”
Internationally, Le Pen wanted to start diluting France’s relationships with the European Union, NATO and neighbor Germany — moves that would have been seismic for the architecture of peace in Europe, in the midst of Russia's war in Ukraine.
In short, France escaped a political, social and economic electroshock by not voting in Le Pen.
Or perhaps just delayed one, should she choose to stand again in 2027. That's a long way off. Much could change. But Le Pen isn't done yet.
“In this defeat, I can’t help but feel a form of hope," she said. “I will never abandon the French."
Surpassing 40% of the vote elevates Le Pen into illustrious, mainstream company. Since Gen. Charles de Gaulle beat François Mitterrand by 55% to 45% in 1965, all defeated finalists lost 40-something to 50-something.
With two exceptions, both named Le Pen.
Jean-Marie was trounced 82% to 18% by Jacques Chirac in 2002 and Marine lost 66% to 34% to Macron in 2017.
Voters used to regard it as their civic duty to keep the Le Pens’ score low, seeing a ballot against them as a blow against racism and xenophobia. Fewer think that way now.
By championing cost-of-living issues, befriending the working class, changing her party’s name and distancing herself from her father, Le Pen broadened her appeal and made herself less scary to growing swaths of France's electorate. Immigration isn't the top concern for all her supporters. They're not all wary of the EU, Muslims and foreigners. But Le Pen does speak to many who feel unheard and uncared for by officials in Paris and Brussels.
And so although Macron became the first French president in 20 years to win a second term, he also has failed: Failed to achieve the goal that he set himself at the outset of his presidency.
Five years ago, in his triumphant victory speech, Macron pledged to cut the ground from under Le Pen’s feet by assuaging the voter anger she feeds on.
“I will do everything in the five years to come so there is no more reason to vote for the extremes,” he said.
Yet France’s extremes are now doing better than ever, finding growing, enthusiastic and completely unabashed audiences for “us against them” far-right rhetoric.
In far-right speak, “us” are largely white and Christian people being submerged by migration, impoverished by globalization, terrorized by Islamic fundamentalists and losing their French identity to imported cultures, religions and values.
“Them” are all those they blame: the elites, foreigners, financiers, the EU, Muslims, “the system.” Their list is long.
The market for their politics has become so large that this election saw several strains of extremism to choose from.
Rabble-rousing former TV pundit Eric Zemmour, who has been repeatedly convicted of hate speech, placed fourth out of the 12 candidates in the first round of voting on April 10. He makes racial arguments that white French people risk being replaced by non-European immigrants and their children. He sugarcoated France’s collaboration with its Nazi occupiers in World War II. During his campaign, he filled auditoriums with audiences for his anti-Islam, anti-immigration invective.
For Le Pen, he also had the advantage of making her look vanilla and electable in comparison, which also partly explains why she did so well. Together, the far right won 32% of the first-round vote.
Now Le Pen has taken another step forward against Macron in the runoff.
Not enough to get into power.
But closer than ever.

Geoff Hann, one of the world's best-known tour guides to the most extreme places on earth - Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria - has died in a Baghdad hospital.
The 85-year-old from Brighouse was on a tour with his company Hinterland Travel that included Baghdad, Mosul and the ancient cities of Mesopotamia when he suffered a massive stroke. His partner, Tina Townsend-Greaves, set up a gofundme page to get him home and more than £10,000 was raised but sadly he died before it could be activated.
She wrote: "Geoff Hann has been a traveller all his life. He has taken travellers with him all over the lesser explored places in the world for 50 years, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria... the list goes on. He has been blown up by the Taliban, shot at by the Syrians and was caught up in the Iranian Revolution.
READ MORE:Britain's oldest landlord reopens his tiny pub after more than two years
"But he always brought everyone home safely. At the age of 85 he was probably the world's oldest tour leader, one last hurrah to his beloved Iraq before retirement. At the end of a wonderful trip he suffered a stroke and is now lying in hospital in Baghdad, unable to speak, miles from home and alone. We need to bring him home safely.
"Please give whatever you can, a great explorer, a great traveller and a great man deserves to end his journey at home."
Sadly it was not to be and she wrote later: "I am very sorry to tell you all that I have just been told that Geoff has died. I don't have any further details until I can speak to the Foreign Office tomorrow."
And today she told ExaminerLive: "Geoff died on Thursday, a death as bizarre as the life he lived. But sad for those of us who loved him." He lived an extraordinary life and was utterly unafraid of all the things that would make most holidaymakers run a mile - possible roadside bombs, Kalashnikov-toting bandits and Taliban attacks.
Since he set it up in the 1970s he's taken tourists to danger zones including Syria, Pakistan and Iraq. And he rarely ran into serious trouble – until 2016 when driving through the province of Herat in August, his group were ambushed by Taliban armed with rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns.
Five of the 12 holidaymakers were severely wounded. Only good luck meant none of the group – eight Brits, three Americans and one German – were killed.
They were able to dive behind a roadside wall as their vehicle went up in flames, before a nearby army and police vehicle came to their rescue.
But Geoff had short shrift for anyone who complained, telling the Mirror : "It annoys me. How many people go on holiday and get shot by the Taliban? They can dine out on that story for years!"
He told an ExaminerLive reporter in 2012: "Geoff, who has organised adventure holidays for 35 years, said he operated in a niche market, but there was no shortage of holidaymakers wanting something different.
"We take s mall groups of 10-15 people and we take people of all ages, from their late 20s to their 70s," he said.
"We stay away from the likes of Kandahar and Helmand and go into the North and central regions and sample the real Afghanistan that you don’t see on the TV."
Calder Valley MP Craig Whittaker told ExaminerLive he was sorry to hear about the death of one of his constituents.
He said: "Sadly he has died. He was an adventurer who loved it and enjoyed it and wanted others to experience the same." | https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/heartbreak-legendary-brighouse-tour-guide-23771357 | 2022-04-25T05:36:27Z | https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/heartbreak-legendary-brighouse-tour-guide-23771357 | true | 1 |
Winning Time season 1 episode 9 preview: The last before finale
Next week on Winning Time season 1 episode 9, you’re going to see easily one of the most important episodes of the season. After all, it’s the penultimate one! There are only two weeks to go now until the saga of the Lakers stops … or at least for the time being. We know already that it’s got a renewal for a season 2.
So what is coming up next for Dr. Buss and some of the other “characters” at the heart of this story? The title for the next installment is “Acceptable Loss,” and there is another question worth thinking about there. What really constitutes such a loss? We know that within the world of the show Magic and Kareem are getting close to the playoffs, but there’s also some huge adversity right now in terms of the coaching position. What can the team do at the very last minute to stabilize it?
We know that in the actual history of the Lakers, Paul Westhead ends up becoming head coach with Pat Riley as the assistant, and we do tend to think this is what the show is going to present, as well. While we know that Winning Time has come under fire here and there for embellishing some things, it’s also been reasonably accurate with some of the big stuff.
In general, we tend to think that one of the big stories coming up here is going to revolve around how the team in its totality accepts change … or if they really do at all. We know that Buss himself is on the verge of cratering within this episode; he’ll be tackling a lot of self-doubt and wondering if he’s in too deep and unsure how to get out of this position at all.

BEIJING (AP) — China is promoting coal-fired power as the ruling Communist Party tries to revive a sluggish economy, prompting warnings Beijing is setting back efforts to cut climate-changing carbon emissions from the biggest global source.
Official plans call for boosting coal production capacity by 300 million tons this year, according to news reports. That is equal to 7% of last year’s output of 4.1 billion tons, which was an increase of 5.7% over 2020.
China is one of the biggest investors in wind and solar, but jittery leaders called for more coal-fired power after economic growth plunged last year and shortages caused blackouts and factory shutdowns. Russia’s attack on Ukraine added to anxiety that foreign oil and coal supplies might be disrupted.
“This mentality of ensuring energy security has become dominant, trumping carbon neutrality,” said Li Shuo, a senior global policy adviser for Greenpeace. “We are moving into a relatively unfavorable time period for climate action in China.”
Officials face political pressure to ensure stability as President Xi Jinping prepares to try to break with tradition and award himself a third five-year term as ruling party leader in the autumn.
Coal is important for “energy security,” Cabinet officials said at an April 20 meeting that approved plans to expand production capacity, according to Caixin, a business news magazine.
The ruling party also is building power plants to inject money into the economy and revive growth that sank to 4% over a year earlier in the final quarter of 2021, down from the full year’s 8.1% expansion.
Governments have pledged to try to limit warming of the atmosphere to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above the level of pre-industrial times. Leaders say what they really want is a limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit).
Scientists say even if the world hits the 2-degree goal in the 2015 Paris climate pact and the 2021 Glasgow follow-up agreement, that still will lead to higher seas, stronger storms, extinctions of plants and animals and more people dying from heat, smog and infectious diseases.
China is the top producer and consumer of coal. Global trends hinge on what Beijing does.
The Communist Party has rejected binding emissions commitments, citing its economic development needs. Beijing has avoided joining governments that promised to phase out use of coal-fired power.
In a 2020 speech to the United Nations, Xi said carbon emissions will peak by 2030, but he announced no target for the amount. Xi said China aims for carbon neutrality, or removing as much from the atmosphere by planting trees and other tactics as is emitted by industry and households, by 2060.
China accounts for 26.1% of global emissions, more than double the U.S. share of 12.8%, according to the World Resources Institute. Rhodium Group, a research firm, says China emits more than all developed economies combined.
Per person, China’s 1.4 billion people on average emit the equivalent of 8.4 tons of carbon dioxide annually, according to WRI. That is less than half the U.S. average of 17.7 tons but more than the European Union’s 7.5 tons.
China has abundant supplies of coal and produced more than 90% of the 4.4 billion tons it burned last year. More than half of its oil and gas is imported and leaders see that as a strategic risk.
China’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2060 appears to be on track, but using more coal “could jeopardize this, or at least slow it down and make it more costly,” Clare Perry of the Environmental Investigations Agency said in an email.
Promoting coal will make emissions “much higher than they need to be” by the 2030 peak year, said Perry.
“This move runs entirely counter to the science,” she said.
Beijing has spent tens of billions of dollars on building solar and wind farms to reduce reliance on imported oil and gas and clean up its smog-choked cities. China accounted for about half of global investment in wind and solar in 2020.
Still, coal is expected to supply 60% of its power in the near future.
Beijing is cutting millions of jobs to shrink its bloated, state-owned coal mining industry, but output and consumption still are rising.
Authorities say they are shrinking carbon emissions per unit of economic output. The government reported a reduction of 3.8% last year, better than 2020′s 1% but down from a 5.1% cut in 2017.
Last year’s total energy use increased 5.2% over 2020 after a revival of global demand for Chinese exports propelled a manufacturing boom, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
Stimulus spending also might raise carbon output if it pays for building more bridges, train stations and other public works. That would encourage carbon-intensive steel and cement production.
China’s coal-fired power plants operate at about half their capacity on average, but building more creates jobs and economic activity, said Greenpeace’s Li. He said even if the power isn’t needed now, local leaders face pressure to make them pay for themselves.
“That locks China into a more high-carbon path,” Li said. “It’s very difficult to fix.” | https://www.arklatexhomepage.com/news/u-s-world/china-promotes-coal-in-setback-for-efforts-to-cut-emissions/ | 2022-04-25T05:42:08Z | https://www.arklatexhomepage.com/news/u-s-world/china-promotes-coal-in-setback-for-efforts-to-cut-emissions/ | false | 35 |
GUJRAT: The Mandi Bahauddin police have registered a case against eight people on the charge of assassinating former District Bar Association president Mahmood Pervez Ranjha and his driver Danish Shabbir.
The Qadirabad police registered a case under sections 302, 324, 440, 148 and 149 of Pakistan Penal Code on the report of Khalid Bashir, a brother of the deceased lawyer, and started investigation.
The legal fraternity will observe a two-day strike in the six districts of Gujranwala division on April 25 and 26 as well as three-day mourning on the appeal of the Punjab Bar Council.
A renowned legal practitioner, Mahmood Pervez Ranjha, along with his driver, was gunned down and three others including his son were injured in an ambush near Hamber Morr in Qadirabad police jurisdiction on Saturday. Ranjha, along with his son Daniyal Pervez (also a lawyer) and their driver, was on his way back home at Laakha Kadhar village from Mandi Bahauddin when unidentified armed men riding a car and two motorbikes ambushed their car and opened an indiscriminate firing at them. The firing resulted in the death of Mahmood Ranjha and his driver whereas Daniyal, a passerby woman and an infant were injured in the firing.
The deceased and injured were shifted to the Phalia Tehsil Headquarters (THQ) hospital from where doctors referred Daniyal to Aziz Bhatti Shaheed Teaching Hospital, Gujrat, due to his critical condition.
The bodies of the deceased were handed over to the families after autopsy and both were laid to rest in their native areas on Sunday.
Police said they had launched an investigation into the case and collected forensic evidence from the crime scene.
Lawyers of Mandi Bahauddin district as well as Phalia and Malikwal tehsil bar associations have condemned the incident and demanded the arrest of culprits involved in the incident.

Mumbai, April 25 : Lucknow Super Giants skipper K.L Rahul credited the batting depth and the presence of several all-rounders in his squad for their fifth win in eight matches, against Mumbai Indians in Match 37 of IPL 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium here on Sunday. Rahul played a well-controlled knock, starting cautiously, building in the middle and exploding into action towards the end as he carried his bat through for an unbeaten 103 that helped Lucknow Super Giants reach a sub-par 168/6 in their second clash with Mumbai Indians this season.

Krunal Pandya led a clinical bowling performance by claiming 3/19 as Lucknow grabbed the initiative in the middle overs and went on to restrict Mumbai Indians to 132/8 in 20 overs, winning by 36 runs. "I tried to stay in the moment and see what's expected from me. Fingers crossed I can carry on doing the same thing. We do back deep with Holder walking in at No. 8 and he has hardly batted. When you have that depth, you can play freely and take more chances," Rahul said during the post-match ceremony on Sunday. He said the teams that are doing well this season are those that can bowl well in the powerplay and death overs.

"I think the teams that can defend well, can bowl well in the powerplay and the death, are the teams that sit at the top and win tournaments. We were lucky enough to get some of the finest all-rounders, having them in the team I have options in the middle, and that makes my life easier," Rahul said. Asked about getting another Player of the Match award, Rahul said he needs to get them to make up for the fines for slow over-rate of his team.

Labour's commitment to Nato is "unshakeable", the shadow defence secretary said after Jeremy Corbyn, the former party leader, said the alliance should be disbanded.
John Healey said that in "an age of growing autocracy" the military alliance's article five – which states that an attack on one ally is considered an attack on all – is the "cornerstone of our defence".
Writing for The Telegraph, he said: "Labour is the party of Nato. All wings of our party supported its formation over 70 years ago, and I am proud of the leading role Attlee's government played in forging this successful post-war pact.
"Labour values are embedded at the heart of the alliance, with its founding treaty enshrining democracy, freedom, peace and the rule of law, as well as collective security. It embodies British and Labour internationalism at its best."
Mr Healey will visit Nato's Maritime Command Centre in Northwood, north west London, on Monday and hold meetings with Vice Admiral Keith Blount, its commander, and Rear Admiral Francesco Milazzo, the chief of staff.
He said he would "thank the British personnel stationed there and underline Labour's unshakeable commitment" to the alliance.
"Nato has proved such a powerful security alliance because it pools military capacity, capability and cash, with annual budget of over £1 trillion to protect one billion people. Faced with fresh Russian aggression, that’s why Finland and Sweden are set to join," he said.
It comes after Sir Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, said it was "difficult" to see how his predecessor Mr Corbyn could have the whip restored following his remarks on Nato.
Last week, Mr Corbyn suggested military alliances could build up "greater danger" in the world and should ultimately be disbanded.
He lost the whip in 2020 over his response to the equalities watchdog's report into anti-Semitism in the party. Although he was reinstated as a Labour member after a suspension, Sir Keir has refused to readmit him to the parliamentary party.
"The Labour Party is not to accept the false equivalence between Russian aggression and the acts of Nato," Sir Keir told the BBC's Sunday Morning programme.
Earlier this year, Young Labour had its social media accounts suspended after accusing Nato of "aggression" and criticising Sir Keir for his support of the organisation. The group also used Twitter to accuse Boris Johnson of "warmongering" over the crisis in Ukraine. | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2022/04/25/labour-has-unshakeable-commitment-nato/ | 2022-04-25T05:46:37Z | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2022/04/25/labour-has-unshakeable-commitment-nato/ | true | 1 |

Post-COVID deaths raise question of how pandemic mortality is measured
By Mary Ward
The number of deaths attributed to lasting impacts of COVID-19 has doubled over the past two months as Australia grapples with how to measure the mortality caused by the pandemic.
Fewer people died from and with coronavirus in March than in the previous months of 2022 after summer’s Omicron wave led to record numbers of virus deaths, according to provisional mortality data by the Australian Bureau of Statistics released last week.
Although rates are still extremely low, there was an increase in the small number of deaths registered as “long COVID” being the cause – 14 in March, up from eight in February.
Australia had previously registered 20 deaths due to long COVID, described by the bureau as “long-term conditions including chronic lung conditions that are the result of the virus”. A spokesperson said these were included in the overall COVID death toll because they were “still due to COVID-19 from an underlying cause perspective”.
Physicians at St Vincent’s Hospital’s long-COVID clinic in Sydney said they had not seen deaths from long COVID by itself – characterised by ongoing fatigue and “brain fog”, muscle pain and shortness of breath – and those registered had probably incurred lung damage, such as pulmonary fibrosis, from severe infections.
“What we are also seeing in people with long COVID is the risk of developing heart disease is increased and those events are more severe,” professor Steven Faux, who co-leads the clinic, said.
“We are telling GPs who are sending patients to our clinic to make sure their cardiovascular risk factors are optimal for at least one to two years after infection.”
Carol Hodgson, a professor of acute and critical care at Monash University, said it was unclear how mortality from long COVID would trend.
“We probably haven’t had enough time to answer that question very well,” she said, noting Australia had some of the world’s best virus survival rates.
In a study of 200 patients admitted to intensive care for COVID-19 and following them for six months after discharge, Hodgson found mortality for COVID patients and other intensive care admissions was comparable.
“That is what we have seen in the sickest patients,” she said.
Adrian Esterman, a professor of biostatistics and epidemiology at the University of Adelaide, said the issue with measuring long COVID deaths was the lack of case data. Studies showed 20 per cent of patients had persistent symptoms eight months after infection in 2020, but prevalence after Delta and Omicron is not known.
By the end of March, 174 deaths had been registered as due to COVID-19, compared to 951 in February and 1540 in January. The March figure will increase as more deaths are registered, although state health departments recorded fewer deaths than earlier in the year.
People who died with COVID-19, but without it being their underlying cause of death, also declined due to lower case numbers in the community.
Health officials have started to discuss changes to how mortality from the virus is measured.
“What we are also seeing in people with long COVID is the risk of developing heart disease is increased and those events are more severe.”
Professor Steven Faux
Instead of daily death updates, chief medical officer Paul Kelly suggested in a recent senate estimates hearing overall excess death – a measure of whether deaths from all causes were higher or lower than expected – could become more appropriate.
The bureau reported 5090 excess deaths in 2021, an increase from 2020 when 1734 fewer deaths occurred than were predicted. The excess mortality across both years was similar to that of the 2017 flu season.
Lauren Moran, the bureau’s director of mortality statistics, said Australia had a “relatively low” mortality rate compared to other countries in 2020 and 2021.
But experiences have varied among states. More than half of 2021’s excess deaths were in Victoria. NSW registered 168 fewer deaths than expected.
“Victoria was really the only state in 2020 that had that second COVID wave,” Moran explained. The bureau’s model assumes lower mortality year-on-year, but this was not the case in Victoria between 2019 and 2020.
The Actuaries Institute measures excess deaths against its own estimate of pre-pandemic mortality using the bureau’s data.
“Our expectation is that there will be nearly 10 per cent excess deaths in the first quarter of 2022,” Jennifer Lang, who convenes the institute’s working group, said. Mortality figures for January will be released later this month.
“The usefulness of excess deaths is it takes away any accusations of bias in determining what is a COVID death and what isn’t,” Lang said.
“But it is a very lagging indicator. Daily death figures give a better perspective on what is happening in the community right now.”
Esterman said measuring excess deaths was especially necessary in countries where doctors were not certifying deaths as caused by the virus.
Ian Marschner, a professor of biostatistics at Sydney Medical School, modelled NSW’s coronavirus waves in terms of “mortality deficit”: whether there were fewer deaths than would be expected in an unvaccinated population.
He urged for caution when interpreting excess mortality modelling, stressing the impact restrictions had on other causes of death, including lower rates of flu. He said the age of cases was most important when comparing mortality between countries or outbreaks.
“The 2020 outbreak in Victoria, for example, was quite an old outbreak in terms of the age structure, and we saw quite high mortality, but that was not because the virus was more dangerous during that period.”

On April 21, 2022, the United States, Canada, Japan, Singapore, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea and Chinese Taipei published a declaration (the “Declaration”) establishing the Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules Forum (the “Global CBPR Forum”). The Global CBPR Forum will establish an international certification system based on the existing APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules (“CBPR”) and Privacy Recognition for Processors (“PRP”) Systems, enabling participation beyond APEC member economies. The Global CBPR and PRP Systems, as they will be known, are designed to support the free flow of data and effective data protection, and enable interoperability with other privacy frameworks.
Functionally, the Global CBPR and PRP Systems will be independent and separate from the existing APEC CBPR and PRP Systems, and the founding members of the Global CBPR Forum will begin working on transitioning operations of the APEC CBPR and PRP Systems in their jurisdictions to the Global CBPR and PRP. APEC CBPR and PRP-certified companies in the founding jurisdictions automatically will be recognized under the Global CBPR and PRP.
Participation in the Global CBPR and PRP is intended to be open to all countries that accept the objectives and principles of the Global CBPR Forum as outlined in the Declaration.
In a supporting statement to the Declaration, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina M. Raimondo noted that “[t]he establishment of the Global CBPR Forum reflects the beginning of a new era of multilateral cooperation in promoting trusted global data flows that are critically important to our modern economy.”
From April 26-28, 2022, current CBPR participants, stakeholders and observers will convene in Hawaii for a multi-stakeholder workshop on “Global Cooperation on Privacy and the CBPR System: The Path Forward,” as well as for related government and Accountability Agent meetings. | https://www.huntonprivacyblog.com/2022/04/21/apec-cross-border-privacy-rules-go-global/ | 2022-04-25T05:59:01Z | https://www.huntonprivacyblog.com/2022/04/21/apec-cross-border-privacy-rules-go-global/ | false | 1 |

President Joe Biden R) will visit Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett in Israel in the coming months. Pool File Photo by Sarahbeth Maney/UPI |

April 25 (UPI) -- U.S. President Joe Biden agreed during a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett to visit the Middle Eastern country in the coming months, both governments have confirmed.
The phone call between the two leaders was held Sunday amid a renewed push to restart negotiations with Iran on a new nuclear deal and spiking violence in Israel.
The offices' of both world leaders confirmed that Biden had accepted the invitation from Bennett with neither divulging other details about the visit other than it would occur "in the coming months."
The pair discussed "shared regional and global security challenges including the threat posed by Iran and its proxies," the White House said in a readout of the call.
The conversation follows Bennett visiting Washington, D.C., in late August, months after he was elected prime minister.
During that visit, Iran was "the main issue" of discussion, Biden had said during a joint press conference with Bennett.
The phone call included a review of steps to deter and contains Iran's destabilizing actions, and the leaders reiterated their commitments to deepen cooperation to address "all aspects of Israel's security against Iran and other threats," the White House said.
The brief statement from Bennett's office said the two specifically discussed Iran's demand for its elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps be removed from the State Department's U.S. Foreign Terror Organization list, on which it was added by the Trump administration in 2019.
"I'm sure @POTUS Biden -- who is a true friend of Israel and cares about its security -- will not allow the IRGC to be removed from the list of terrorist organizations," Bennett said in a statement carried by his office Sunday following the phone call. "Israel has clarified its position on the issue: The IRGC is the largest terrorist org. in the world."
The United States was pulled from the multination Joint Comprehensive Deal of Action aimed at denying Iran access to a nuclear weapon in 2018 by then-President Donald Trump, who called it "defective at its core."
Since then, the Trump administration sought to get Iran back to the negotiating table on a new deal while the Biden administration has wanted to restart the old deal with amendments.
Earlier this month during an interview with Andrea Mitchell of NBC, Secretary of State Antony Blinken fielded a question concerning whether the IRGC would remain on the terrorist list by saying he wouldn't get into specifics of their negotiations with Iran but that he wasn't "overly optimistic at the prospects of actually getting an agreement to conclusion."
"I continue to believe it would be the best interests of our country if we can get back into compliance with the deal, if Iran will do the same," he said. "We're not there."
The call also occurred amid escalating violence between Israelis and Palestinians that have seen several terrorists attacks in recent weeks committed in Israel as well as violence committed against Palestinians.
During the call Sunday, the leaders exchanged views on "efforts" to advance peace, security and prosperity for both Israelis and Palestinians, the White House said. | https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2022/04/25/Biden-to-visit-Israel/1941650862430/ | 2022-04-25T06:43:26Z | https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2022/04/25/Biden-to-visit-Israel/1941650862430/ | true | 1 |

Billy has come back to his small English hometown after a stint as a war photographer. He has joined his family’s newspaper staff, which is run by his brother Roman, who is trying to breathe new life into the small publication. But Billy feels like working on the village paper is beneath him, where the biggest story so far is a mysterious vegetable produce slasher.
But when the brothers decide to stake out a garden to catch the courgette slasher in action in hopes of landing a big story, Billy confronts the damage of his past and has a chance to reconnect with Roman.
Written and directed by Max McCabe, this amiable short comedy is a riff on the great tradition of small-town stories lived with cheekily outsized stakes and emotion. Elements of the whodunit and an affectionately satirical portrait of English village life make up part of the storytelling mix, but the real heart of the story comes from the relationship with the two brothers, whose opposing experiences and desires become reconciled through misadventure.
The comedy comes from the paradox of taking something small seriously, and in this particular village, it’s a “courgette slasher.” (That’s zucchini to those more familiar with American English.) Someone is getting revenge for a town council battle by slashing the garden produce of those who voted a particular way on a recent resolution, and the village paper is hot on the trail.
The writing has a lot of fun with sprinkling the details of village life through the witty dialogue, but it’s delivered with such wryness and quicksilver pacing that it’s never over the top or too screwball. The rhythm and tenor of the film remain similarly low-key, which brings the characters to the fore. Former war photographer Billy is charged with taking dramatic photos for social media and publication, and he’s brought low by the task.
His past work has also given him PTSD, and he’s also depressed, which the film handles with equanimity. Actor Dylan Edwards plays Billy’s mental health struggles with straightforward precision and an understatement that allows his travails to sit seamlessly within the comic milieu. It allows for a moment for the brothers to bond and opens up a much-needed conversation between them that brings them closer. And when the courgette slasher shows up, they can finally work together as a unit to bring him down.
“Hometown Hero” has a sincere message about men and mental health, but it’s gently folded into a delightful British comedy that ripples with ironic wit, affectionate satire and just a touch of mordant humor. It offers not just an entertaining story, but a small, comforting slice of the world where the biggest news event is a series of smashed squashes. But the film is also aware of the collateral damage of a larger, more complex world, and it offers a sweetly hopeful portrait of a community and relationship where there’s openness and kindness to help healing, along with a dose of laughter.

President Muhammadu Buhari Sunday directed the nation's armed forces, security and intelligence agencies to intensify the clampdown on illegal refineries following the reported deaths of tens of people Friday night after an illegal refinery exploded at Abaezi forest in the Ohaji-Egbema Local Government Area of Imo State.
Reacting to what he described as a "catastrophe and a national disaster," President Buhari, in a release issued by his spokesman, Mallam Garba Shehu, said responsibility for the loss of lives and property must squarely lie with the sponsors of the illegal refinery, "who must all be caught and made to face justice".
In conveying "the condolences and the full depth and range of the nation's shock and trauma" to the families of the victims, the Ohaji Egbema community and the government and people of Imo State, the president urged community leaders, the police and the secret service to never allow the occurrence of the heart-breaking incident in any part of the country again. | https://allafrica.com/stories/202204250011.html | 2022-04-25T06:45:36Z | https://allafrica.com/stories/202204250011.html | false | 1 |

Abuja—The Northern Elders Forum, NEF, has denied direct involvement in the emergence of former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and Bauchi State governor, Bala Mohammed, as the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, consensus candidates of the north, ahead of the 2023 presidential elections.
NEF’s Director, Publicity and Advocacy, Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, said this in a statement, dismissing reports that northern elders had endorsed Mohammed and Saraki after a meeting in Minna, Niger State.
According to him, the Forum is non-partisan, but strongly committed to the creation of a level playing field which will allow the emergence of only the best leaders in next year’s elections.
The NEF spokesman warned mischief makers against causing confusion over the role of the Forum’s Chairman, Prof. Ango Abdullahi, in efforts to create consensus among four aspirants for the presidential ticket of the PDP.
Baba-Ahmed admonished stakeholders to desist from imposing restrictions, which offend principles of inclusion and fairness, stressing that the Forum believed the fate of all candidates should be left to party delegates and voters to decide.
He said: “It has become necessary to address the impression created in part by mischief, and in part by genuine confusion over the role of the Convener of Northern Elders Forum, in the efforts to create consensus among four aspirants for the Presidential ticket of the PDP.
“The idea to attempt to engineer a consensus among the aspirants was that of the aspirants themselves. Governors Aminu W Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, former Senate President A.B.Saraki and Malam Mohammed Hayatudeen had informed President Badamasi Babangida of their intention, and requested elderly intervention and advice in the event that their efforts failed to produce consensus.
“President Babangida in turn requested Professor Ango Abdullahi in his individual capacity to design and manage a process that could improve a consensus agreement among the four aspirants.
”Professor Ango Abdullahi concluded that assignment and released a detailed report and recommendation, signing it in his individual capacity.
”It is important to make clear that the entire process did not involve the Northern Elders Forum as a group, and is not a product of the group.
”Professor Ango Abdullahi is free to undertake any lawful activity as a citizen, and genuine misinterpretations of his role are understandable. Northern Elders Forum is not affiliated to any political party or aspirant, and is strongly committed to the creation of a level playing field which will allow the emergence of the best leaders in the 2023 elections.
“It has also remained consistent in its conviction that all parts of the country should play their parts freely, unhindered by the restrictions which offend principles of inclusion and fairness.
”The Forum believes the North has excellent candidates whose fate should be left to party delegates and voters to decide.
“The Forum remains united behind the protection and projection of the interests of the North and Nigeria, and will play its role as it had done whenever circumstances demand.” | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/04/2023-presidency-were-not-involved-in-emergence-of-pdp-consensus-candidates-northern-elders/ | 2022-04-25T07:00:31Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/04/2023-presidency-were-not-involved-in-emergence-of-pdp-consensus-candidates-northern-elders/ | false | 2 |

Leaders of the 3rd Force Movement under the auspices of the National Consultative Front, NCFront have called on the Federal Government (FG) to take urgent steps to immediately find lasting solution in resolving the issues associated with the ongoing Universities Workers’ (ASUU, SSANU, NASU and NAAT) strikes.
The Front in a statement e- Signed by Dr Tanko Yunusa pointed out thatit made the call in the overriding interest of our nation, but more particularly for the huge number of students, parents, academic and non- teaching staff in all Federal and state-owned universities across the country who have been affected directly by this avoidable strike.
The body lamented that youths in public universities are losing their most active and creative years due to no fault of theirs, while their parents are undergoing a painful agony of witnessing their children and resources waste away under their very noses.
It noted that the children of most top government officials attend private universities or study abroad; they do not feel the distress and torment of the ordinary parents which we continue to call for a law mandating State actors their nuclear families to attend only Nigerian institutions while in office In addition, the government is also wasting our national resources because by the end of the strike, all academic staff and non-teaching staff that are mostly inactive now would still receive their salaries.
It added that the bedrock of modern nation building was education and any country that trivializes it, is clearly on a path to failure.
The NCFront declared it was regrettable that the Federal Government continues to be aloof to its responsibilities by undermining the issues associated with Collective Agreements with the University based unions which has become a vicious cycle for decades, adding that the concerns are not insurmountable; however, it requires a symbiotic relationship between Government and all critical stakeholders in the education sector to resolve them amicably.
The body’s statement read in part: “Let us begin by isolating indisputable facts that are trite. The unions have an avalanche of genuine demands; and these demands are increasing from year to year due to Government’s reneging or failing to address the issues in a timely manner. There have been recent meetings or dialogue sessions between Government, led by the Minister of Labour and Employment, and the unions which ended in deadlocks, probably due to past experiences of Government failure to honour agreements reached.
“It is our view that the issues concerning the public universities can be resolved, if government comes to the table with sincerity of purpose by recognizing the problems and show willingness to fix them. It is known to all concerned that the main concerns of the unions since the 1980s are no more than the inadequate funding of the university system, decaying and overstretched infrastructural facilities, conditions of service (salary and non-salary), autonomy and academic freedom, brain drain, and the survival of the university system.
“The current spate of strikes also revolve around some of these same issues and governments’ failure to honour previous Collective Agreements. And for how long would our nation continue to suffer from the pains of such insincerity and incapacity?
“The Leadership of the 3rd Force Mega Movement under the auspices of NCFront therefore pleads with all key stakeholders that are relevant to the resolution of the ongoing strike action to reconsider and prioritize the pains and agony of our youths and parents affected by this unfortunate situation and make every effort to resolve this impasse as quickly as possible so that our students can return to their educational and life pursuits.“
“We have come to a point in our country, where the federal and state governments, students, parents and all relevant stakeholders must lay their concerns, challenges and missed opportunities on the table so that we can collectively fashion out a long-term solution to prevent these incessant but avoidable strikes.
“Therefore, beyond calling off the current strike, NCF also strongly recommends that the federal government takes a leadership step in proactively instituting a nationwide EMERGENCY on our university and indeed tertiary education system and initiate an open and sincere dialogue in the manner of an Education CONFAB, where all critical stakeholders in this sector are present: Government (Federal and State), the Unions, NUC, Labour, Student and Parent-body representations, Private University representatives, Education financing institutions and education foundation representatives, etc”.
NCF assured it would be advocating for a win-win situation where all critical stakeholders and the citizenry can be made to understand the real or imagined challenges to government funding of our university education, the need, benefits or challenges to research, curriculum, autonomy, as well as a need for appropriate strategic and systemic review, hoping that the that the public should be able to learn from the experiences of other nations and factor these into the discussions at the Confab.
“In addition, government must begin to demonstrate visible forthrightness and genuine willingness to solve the challenges in our social fabric by ensuring that it is careful and prudent in the expenditure of our national resources. The waste and personal aggrandizement that is going on in government is alarming and unacceptable by all standards.
“A situation where every citizen now has to cut their coats according to their cloth, while government is not seen to be doing the same (for example it still operates a huge and superfluous fleet of presidential aircrafts and recently approved huge billions for the renovation of the National Assembly complex) does not engender confidence in the citizenry that government is doing its best to deploy resources to productive use and save resources to fund education” NCF stated
It expressed hope that the Education Confab as proposed would come up with critical resolutions that should alter current policies and laws in a way that would prevent University based Unions’ strikes in the foreseeable future, asserting that its dream was to build a nation in which every citizen shall be free and educated, healthy and prosperous. | https://theeagleonline.com.ng/ncfront-leaders-call-government-to-resolve-asuu-ssanu-others-strike/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ncfront-leaders-call-government-to-resolve-asuu-ssanu-others-strike | 2022-04-25T07:07:23Z | https://theeagleonline.com.ng/ncfront-leaders-call-government-to-resolve-asuu-ssanu-others-strike/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ncfront-leaders-call-government-to-resolve-asuu-ssanu-others-strike | true | 2 |

Commencement is expected in Q4 2022 with a firm-term of approximately 18 months, in direct continuation of the West Gemini's existing contract.
The West Gemini is the third drillship to be bareboat chartered into Sonadrill, along with two Sonangol-owned units, the Sonangol Quenguela and Sonangol Libongos. Seadrill will manage and operate the units on behalf of Sonadrill. The West Gemini is an ultra-deepwater drillship with an operational history offshore Africa. Together, the three units position the Seadrill joint venture as the premier rig operator in Angola, furthering the goal of building an ultra-deepwater franchise in the Golden Triangle and driving efficiencies from rig clustering in the region.
Seadrill's Chief Executive Officer, Simon Johnson commented "Our strategic partnership with Sonadrill is critical to the development of the Angolan oil and gas sector and to Seadrill's position as the number one rig operator in Angola. We're grateful for the Seadrill crew aboard the West Gemini who deserves the lion's share of the credit for this contract."

Lakhimpur case: Prime accused Ashish Mishra surrenders, sent to Kheri district jail

Lakhimpur case: Prime accused Ashish Mishra surrenders, sent to Kheri district jail
Updated on: 46 minutes ago
Lahimpur Khiri (Uttar Pradesh): Ashish Mishra alias Monu, son of Union minister of state Ajay Mishra Teni, the prime accused in the Lakhimpur case, after the lapse of 68 days, surrendered before a local court, from where he was sent to the Kheri district jail on Sunday. The Supreme Court in its order last week, had cancelled the bail application of Ashish Mishra, granted by a bench of the Lucknow High Court. The top court had asked Mishra to surrender in a week.
Ashish Mishra was accused of running over protesting farmers with his convoy at Tikonia in the Lakhimpur district of Uttar Pradesh on October 3 last year in which four farmers and a journalist had been killed. Jagdeep, son of a deceased farmer Nakshatra Singh, expressed happiness over the Supreme Court's order, saying, "We are hoping justice from the Supreme Court in the matter. He's going back to jail has rekindled our faith in the judiciary." Whereas, Pawan Kashyap, brother of the slain journalist Raman Kashyap said, "the common man's faith in the judicial system has increased."
Earlier, the Supreme Court on April 18 (Monday) had cancelled the bail granted to Ashish Mishra in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case and directed him to surrender within a week. The top court on April 4 had reserved its order on a plea of farmers seeking cancellation of bail to Ashish Mishra. The apex court had earlier raised questions over the Allahabad High Court verdict granting bail to Ashish Mishra, saying unnecessary details like postmortem report and nature of wounds should not have gone into it when the trial was yet to commence.

The special bench, also comprising Justices Surya Kant and Hima Kohli, had also taken strong note of the fact that the state government did not file an appeal against the High Court's order as suggested by the apex court-appointed SIT. The bench had taken note of the submissions of senior advocate Dushyant Dave and Prashant Bhushan, appearing for farmers, that the High Court did not consider the extensive charge sheet and rather relied upon the FIR where it was alleged that one person received bullet injuries.
Senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani appearing for the state had said that the accused was not a flight risk and has no criminal record. The bail was granted after the High Court took note of the facts, including the postmortem report, which did not indicate bullet injuries of the deceased. On March 16, the top court had sought responses of the Uttar Pradesh government and Ashish Mishra, on a plea challenging the grant of bail to him. It had also directed the state government to ensure the protection of witnesses after the counsel, appearing for farmers, referred to the attack on a key witness on March 10.
On October 3 last year, eight people were killed in Lakhimpur Kheri during violence that erupted when farmers were protesting against Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya's visit to the area. Four farmers were mowed down by an SUV, in which Ashish Mishra was seated, according to the Uttar Pradesh Police FIR. Following the incident, the driver and two BJP workers were allegedly lynched by angry farmers. A journalist also died in the violence that triggered outrage among opposition parties and farmer groups agitating over the Centre's now-repealed agricultural reform laws. | https://www.etvbharat.com/english/national/bharat/accused-ashish-mishra-monu-reached-lakhimpur-kheri-case-jail/na20220425112029597597202 | 2022-04-25T07:11:19Z | https://www.etvbharat.com/english/national/bharat/accused-ashish-mishra-monu-reached-lakhimpur-kheri-case-jail/na20220425112029597597202 | false | 1 |
Ondo State Police Command, on Sunday, said that it was not responsible for the d3ath of three indigenes of Kajola in Odogbo Local Government Area of the state.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the victims, including a village head, were reportedly crushed to dath on Saturday evening by a hit-and-run driver on their motorcycle at Kajola area on Lagos-Ore expressway.
The command’s Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Funmilayo Odunlami, in a telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said that the victims’ d3ath was due to police recklessness but owing to flouting of traffic rules.
She said that the deceased used a motorcycle without headlamp, adding that they were riding on a one-way route, thus leading to a head on collision with a speeding vehicle.
“The d3ath of the victims was not caused by the police, as been circulated. They died as a result of flouting traffic rules.
“The deceased were riding a motorcycle with no headlamp on a one-way route and had a head-on collision with a speeding vehicle. They have died now and are not able to tell the story.
“Youths should find a way of registering their grievances. Lynching police officers or burning down police station at every slightest opportunity is barbaric.
“Police are there to protect them, while there are several emergency numbers through which they can report issues to the police headquarters. They should not take laws into their hands,” Odunlami said.
NAN reports that youths in the area had accused the police of extortion at a check point in the area which they described as illegal.

An eye witness, Funmi Olowogboye, told newsmen that the accident occurred while the police officers were trying to extort the victims when a speeding vehicle trying to escape arrest crushed them to d3ath.
NAN reports that the youths had, in their large numbers, swooped on Kajola police station with the corpses of the deceased, even as they attempted to burn it down.
It took the combined efforts of police operatives and other security agents to prevent the youths from lynching the personnel and raze the police station and restore normalcy in the area.
NAN also reports that the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Oyeyemi Oyediran had, upon assumption of duty, ordered immediate dismantling of all illegal road blocks and checkpoints on Ore-Benin expressway. | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/04/were-not-responsible-for-d3ath-of-accident-victims-in-ondo-community-police/ | 2022-04-25T07:18:29Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/04/were-not-responsible-for-d3ath-of-accident-victims-in-ondo-community-police/ | true | 2 |
Rice rejects £200,000-a-week contract but Moyes not panicking over Chelsea and Man Utd target's future
Declan Rice has reportedly rejected a new £200,000-a-week contract at West Ham, but David Moyes insists he is not panicking over the Chelsea and Manchester United target's future.
Rice has spent his entire career at West Ham and has featured in 189 games across all competitions, including 44 in the current campaign.
The 23-year-old is still tied to the Hammers until 2024 and the club holds the option of a one-year renewal, but he is rejecting the chance to commit to a longer deal at London Stadium.

- Zinchenko delivers timely reminder of why he’s so important to Guardiola’s Man City
What has Moyes said about Rice?
Rice was reported to have turned down two extension offers from West Ham last summer, and has more recently snubbed fresh terms that would have made him the highest-paid player in the club's history.
Moyes is not concerned that the England international could leave this summer though, and said after his side's 1-0 loss to Chelsea on Sunday: “I’ve said it [where I stand] and I think we have said what we think.
“We like Dec and he’s got three-and-a-half years to go on his contract so I don’t think there is any big panic.
“Maybe he just wants more money. People do turn down contracts. It is not unusual for players at clubs to turn down contracts, maybe it is a negotiation tactic.”
Chelsea and Man Utd circle for Rice
Chelsea and Man Utd have both been credited with an interest in Rice, who has strong ties to the former after an eight-year spell in their academy.
Moyes is confident that West Ham would cope if the midfielder were to move on, but remains adamant that the club won't be pushed into an early sale.
“I sold Wayne Rooney and Everton got better,” the coach said. “It doesn’t always mean that things don’t happen. We’ve said before that we’ve got no intention of selling.” | https://www.goal.com/en-ae/news/rice-rejects-contract-moyes-chelsea-man-utd/bltf21d809718b29fd2 | 2022-04-25T07:26:40Z | https://www.goal.com/en-ae/news/rice-rejects-contract-moyes-chelsea-man-utd/bltf21d809718b29fd2 | false | 10 |

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jon Stewart, accepting the Kennedy Center’s Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, warned Sunday night that speculation about the future of comedy amid increased audience cultural sensitivity was ignoring a true and enduring threat: authoritarian governments around the world.
“Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether,” Stewart said. “When a society feels under threat, comedians are who gets sent away first.”
Stewart pointed to Egyptian comedian Bassem Youssef, whose Stewart-inspired political comedy show earned him both fame and self-imposed exile. Youssef’s story is “an example of the true threat to comedy,” Stewart said.
The intersection of comedy and politics was the main theme as celebrities and comedy royalty gathered to honor Stewart, who set the modern template for mixing the topics during his 16-year run hosting TV’s “The Daily Show.”
Stewart, the 23rd recipient of the prize, was honored in testimonials from fellow comedians and previous Mark Twain Prize recipients. Stewart himself spoke during Dave Chappelle’s Mark Twain ceremony in 2019, and Chappelle returned the favor.
“It is a miracle to watch you work. You are a cure for what ails this country,” said Chappelle, who noted that Stewart stepped down from “The Daily Show” one year before the election of Donald Trump as president.
The 59-year-old Stewart — born Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz — rose to prominence as a standup comic and host of multiple failed talk shows before taking over Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” in 1999. He became a cultural and political force as he trained his satirical eye on politics and an increasingly polarized national media.
Several of Sunday’s speakers were former “Daily Show” correspondents, including Samantha Bee, Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert and John Oliver.
Carell described his time on the show as full of “excitement, fear, physical distress and laughter.” He noted that Stewart seemed to delight in sending him on bizarre assignments that included eating Crisco, dealing with a trailer of snakes, and drinking Long Island ice tea until he vomited. Stewart, he said, was “always supporting us and always cheering us from the comfort and safety of his office.”
Oliver, meanwhile, sent in a video message noting that the real Jon Stewart would never spend “two hours squirming in his seat listening to people tell him how much he means to them.” Therefore, Oliver concluded, Stewart must be dead and he proceeded to deliver an extended eulogy.
Fellow New Jersey native Bruce Springsteen performed an acoustic version of “Born to Run” and praised Stewart as a patriot determined to speak truth to power.
Stewart’s influence was felt far beyond America’s borders. Youssef, an Egyptian heart surgeon, started up a modest YouTube show that was directly modeled on Stewart’s and became an iconic figure during and after the 2011 Egyptian revolution.
Describing his show as “clearly a very cheap knockoff” of “The Daily Show,” Youssef detailed how he appeared on Stewart’s show in 2012 and Stewart came to Cairo to do the same in 2013.
Two weeks after that appearance, the Egyptian military overthrew a democratically elected Islamist president amid mass national protests. Youssef said he asked Stewart how to navigate the shifting political climate, and Stewart advised him to stick to his principles even if it caused trouble or cost him popularity.
Youssef, whose show was eventually cancelled and who now lives in the U.S., began cursing Stewart from the stage. “I could have been a very rich sell-out by now!” he yelled in mock anger.
Since retiring from “The Daily Show” in 2015, Stewart has become a vocal proponent of a number of social causes and one of the most prominent voices in support of health care for Sept. 11 first responders in New York City. He recently returned to television as host of “The Problem with Jon Stewart” on Apple TV+.
Stewart’s political influence was apparent Sunday from a guest list that included House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and White House press secretary Jen Psaki.
Pelosi, on the red carpet before the ceremony, said she had interacted with Stewart on multiple occasions while he was lobbying on different causes. She praised his “level of commitment and knowledge” that far outstripped the usual celebrity political involvement.
She also laughingly said that Stewart is “not a patient man” when he feels his cause is just.
This was the first Mark Twain ceremony since Chappelle’s in 2019. The award skipped 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Aside from that two-year break, the prize has been presented annually since 1998, with Richard Pryor receiving the first honors.
Other recipients include Carol Burnett (the oldest recipient at age 80), Tina Fey (the youngest at age 40), Eddie Murphy, Jonathan Winters, George Carlin and Lily Tomlin. 2009 recipient Bill Cosby had his prize rescinded in 2018 amid multiple allegations of sexual assault. | https://www.wlns.com/entertainment-news/jon-stewart-to-receive-mark-twain-prize-for-american-humor/ | 2022-04-25T07:27:50Z | https://www.wlns.com/entertainment-news/jon-stewart-to-receive-mark-twain-prize-for-american-humor/ | true | 25 |
NEAR THE POLISH-UKRAINIAN BORDER — U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says Russia is failing in its war aims and Ukraine is succeeding.
Following meetings Sunday in Kyiv with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, along with U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Blinken told reporters in Poland on Monday that, with Russia having pulled back its troops from around Kyiv and the north of Ukraine to focus on the eastern Donbas region, “When it comes to Russia’s war aims, Russia is failing, Ukraine is succeeding.”
In footage of the meeting later released by the Ukrainian presidency, Blinken praised the “extraordinary courage and leadership and success that you’ve had in pushing back this horrific Russian aggression.”
“We got used to seeing you on video around the world, but it’s great, it’s good to see you in person,” Blinken said with a smile.
Blinken said U.S. diplomats returning to the country likely will first re-staff the consulate in Lviv in western Ukraine before returning to Kyiv.
Austin said that “the world has been inspired” by Ukraine in the war and that America would continue its support.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS:
NEAR THE POLISH-UKRAINIAN BORDER — The United States is giving new military assistance to Ukraine and renewing a diplomatic push in the war-ravaged nation as President Joe Biden’s secretary of state and Pentagon chief complete a secretive trip to Kyiv.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin informed Ukraine’s president of a more than $300 million package of foreign military financing and a $165 million sale of ammunition.
They also said Biden would announce his pick for a U.S. ambassador to Ukraine and that American diplomats who left ahead of Russia’s invasion in February would start returning to the country this coming week.
Ukraine President Volodomyr Zelenskyy said he planned to meet with the U.S. officials in Kyiv on Sunday, but the Biden administration refused to confirm that or discuss any details of a possible visit.
It was the highest-level American visit to the capital since Russia invaded in late February.
Austin and Blinken announced a total of $713 million in foreign military financing for Ukraine and 15 allied and partner countries. Some $322 million is earmarked for Kyiv.
Officials say the remainder will be split among NATO members and other nations that have provided Ukraine with critical military supplies since the war with Russia began.

LVIV, Ukraine — A fire has erupted at a Russian oil depot near the border with Ukraine.
The Tass news agency reported the fire early Monday in Bryansk. The Russian report said oil storage tanks at the facility caught fire around 2 a.m. local time.
NASA satellites that track fires show a burning fire at coordinates that correspond to a Rosneft facility some 110 kilometers (70 miles) north of the Ukrainian border.
Anton Gerashchenko, adviser to the head of Ukraine’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, was cited by the Ukrainian news agency Unian as saying that people who live near the burning oil depot were being evacuated.
Moscow previously has blamed Ukraine for attacks on the Russian region of Bryansk, which borders Ukraine.
Ukraine’s top security officials have denied that Kyiv was behind an earlier airstrike on an oil depot in the Russian city of Belgorod, about 60 kilometers (35 miles) from the border.

MARIUPOL, Ukraine — A newly released video shows Ukrainian children in an underground bunker receiving Easter presents.
The video was released Sunday by the far-right Azov Battalion, which is among Ukrainian forces at the Azovstal steelworks where soldiers and civilians have been holed up under a Russian attack.
The group’s deputy commander, Sviatoslav Palamar, says the video was shot Sunday at the plant.
One toddler is seen wearing homemade diapers made of cellophane. People are hanging laundry on makeshift hangers.
One of the women in the video begs for help from world leaders and says she and others stuck under the plant are tired of the bombing and are desperate for their freedom.
“The children are constantly crying here — they want to play and live,” she adds. “Stop this aggression. I ask everyone, help please, free us!”
Another woman says there are 600 civilians sheltering under the plant, without food and water. | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/Live-updates-Blinken-says-Russia-is-failing-17123895.php | 2022-04-25T07:28:33Z | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/Live-updates-Blinken-says-Russia-is-failing-17123895.php | false | 11 |
DeSantis Effect? Exxon Bans LGBTQ Rainbow Flag from Being Displayed During Pride Month
Has Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ opening salvo in the war against wokism sent a shiver throughout corporate America?
Ron DeSantis’ signature last month on Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill followed by Friday’s passage of legislation to dissolve the Reedy Creek Improvement District, Disney’s special self-governance and taxation privileges granted by the state in 1967, sent the very clear message that powerful corporations will pay a price for trying to force woke agendas upon local governments.
Bloomberg reported on Friday that ExxonMobil Corp. has updated its policy on flags that may be flown outside its offices. The new guidance, obtained by Bloomberg, specifically prohibits the display of “external position flags,” which includes both the LGBTQ “rainbow” and Black Lives Matter flags.
Previously, the company has allowed the rainbow to be flown during June which is “Pride Month.”
While it will not allow the “commonly recognized” rainbow flag, Bloomberg reported, Exxon will allow “a flag representing an LGBTQ employees’ group that does not prominently feature Exxon’s corporate logo.”
The Bloomberg report was ambiguous about exactly when the Exxon policy was changed — but the public interest it’s generating in the context of the DeSantis dispute with Disney is undeniable.
News organizations from across the political spectrum, from Fox News to The New York Times, National Review and The Hill reported news of the Exxon decision as the latest twist in a long-running controversy over corporate involvement in political questions that the DeSantis-Disney clash brought to the forefront.
According to Bloomberg, an LGBT group in the company, Exxon’s PRIDE Houston Chapter, wrote in an email Thursday that “Corporate leadership took exception to a rainbow flag being flown at our facilities” last year.
“PRIDE was informed the justification was centered on the need for the corporation to maintain ‘neutrality.’”
According to an email reviewed by Bloomberg, this group has announced it will no longer “represent the company at the city’s June 25 Pride celebration.”
“It is difficult to reconcile how ExxonMobil recognizes the value of promoting our corporation as supportive of the LGBTQ+ community externally (e.g. advertisements, Pride parades, social media posts) but now believes it inappropriate to visibly show support for our LGBTQ+ employees at the workplace.
“Flying a Pride flag is one small way many corporations choose to visibly show their care, inclusion and support for LGBTQ+ employees,” the email argued. “These types of visible actions are even more impactful for many of our LGBTQ+ colleagues who aren’t out at work and may not feel comfortable participating in PRIDE events.”
ExxonMobil Vice President of Human Resources Tracey Gunnlaugsson responded to the email in a statement that read:
“The updated flag protocol is intended to clarify the use of the ExxonMobil branded company flag and not intended to diminish our commitment to diversity and support for employee resource groups. We’re committed to keeping an open, honest, and inclusive workplace for all of our employees, and we’re saddened that any employee would think otherwise.
“Diversity is not a stand-alone activity; it is embedded in our core values, our approach to how we develop talent, and the culture to which we aspire.”
Could it be that DeSantis’ decision to fight back against Disney’s foray into activism has sent a chill throughout corporate America, particularly among companies located in red states? It may be too early to tell, but Exxon’s decision to ban the display of rainbow and BLM flags outside its corporate offices was certainly encouraging.
There’s no denying that Disney’s activism hasn’t helped shareholder value. Its stock price closed at $118.27 per share on Friday, a 52-week low.
Shareholders certainly can’t be happy that a company whose mission is to provide family-friendly entertainment for children has shed nearly $50 billion in market capitalization since Disney’s management commenced its attack on Florida’s Parental Rights in Education legislation.
“The stock’s market cap has declined by about $46.6 billion since March 1, just days before the company came out against the legislation,” the Washington Examiner reported Friday.
Moreover, a Trafalgar poll released earlier this month found presented respondents with this question: “News reports reveal Disney is focusing on creating content to expose young children to sexual ideas. Does this make you more or less likely to do business with Disney?”
Eleven percent responded “less likely” and a majority of 57.2 percent responded “much less likely.” Among Democrats, according to the poll. 48.2 percent responded “less likely” or “much less likely.”
Hell yeah: 68 percent of Americans, including nearly half of all Democrats, are “less likely to do business with Disney” following revelations about the company’s sexual politics. https://t.co/flC5b2b3TF pic.twitter.com/Sz1DOTc2Cm
— Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) April 12, 2022
Considering that a company’s first priority should be to maximize shareholder value, Disney’s needless stand against Florida’s anti-grooming legislation was a pretty stupid move.
The news about Exxon’s decision, coming the very week the Florida bill was signed into law, only amplifies the possibility the country is seeing something of a “DeSantis Effect” — a new, public willingness by conservative politicians to take on corporations attacking from the left.
When Major League Baseball made the arrogant decision to move its All-Star Game out of Atlanta last year to protest Georgia’s new voter integrity law, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp held firm — to his everlasting credit — but was not in a position to strike back.
In the Florida case, DeSantis and Sunshine State Republicans not only held their ground, but have gone over on the offensive, and the rest of corporate America has to be taking notice.
Although it’s way too soon to declare victory in the culture war, it’s a win for conservatives.

Hannover Medical School study will evaluate the use of whole-genome sequencing to show positive impact of earlier diagnosis and treatment for children with suspected genetic disorders
SAN DIEGO, April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN), a global leader in DNA sequencing and array-based technologies, today announced an agreement with Germany's Hannover Medical School (Medizinische Hochschule Hannover (MHH)) to implement the use of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in critically ill children suspected of having a genetic or rare disease. The project, led by the Department of Human Genetics at MHH, will evaluate the use of WGS in neonatal and pediatric intensive care unit settings to show the positive impact of earlier diagnosis and treatment for hospitalized children.
At least 100 critically ill children in intensive care with suspected genetic disorders will be tested, where possible as a trio (affected child and their parents), to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of rapid WGS (rWGS). The study findings will be used to challenge the existing inclusion and exclusion criteria for rWGS eligibility in intensive care settings and help to establish appropriate evidence for earlier use of rWGS in the German healthcare system. Recent studies performed in healthcare systems in Canada, the UK and the US on rapid (trio) WGS in critically ill children have shown it to be of great clinical value for pediatric precision medicine due to its high diagnostic rate and short time to diagnosis.
"We are honored to support Hannover Medical School on this project," said Paula Dowdy, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Illumina for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. "The ability to provide a faster diagnosis for genetic diseases through whole-genome sequencing is crucial in reducing the suffering and uncertainty in critically ill children — it has been shown to be the most actionable and cost-efficient means to make a diagnosis. Importantly, this project will also add to the growing global body of evidence on the value of whole-genome sequencing in the timely diagnosis of children with genetic diseases."
The project will also capture the clinical utility of rWGS in terms of changes in patient care and management. Additionally, it will analyze the health economic impact on the hospital by comparing the costs of rWGS versus the existing diagnostic pathway for a critically ill child with a suspected genetic disorder. Illumina is supporting the project by providing reagents for the library preparation of DNA and sequencing reagents for the WGS samples.
"Time is critical for children in intensive care with suspected genetic disease, and through this study we hope to lead the way in applying cutting-edge genomics to improve healthcare and bring peace of mind to families," said Bernd Auber, MD, Human Geneticist at Hannover Medical School, whose team is leading the study. "Our aim is to implement whole-genome sequencing as a decision-making tool in neonatal and pediatric intensive care units, ideally replacing routine diagnostic tests currently used. We are grateful to Illumina for their support."
Rare diseases, of which more than 7,000 are known, are primary contributors to hospitalization and mortality in infants. About 2-6% of the population worldwide is affected by a rare disease and while 80% of these have a genetic component, many patients struggle in the search for a diagnosis. On average, the diagnostic odyssey can take five to seven years.
The German study will contribute to a growing body of evidence generated in other countries — including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States — showing that WGS offers significant benefits for diagnosis of genetic disease in critically ill infants. Similar studies to evaluate the role of WGS in critically ill children are underway in other countries such as Dubai's Al Jalilah Children's Specialty Hospital, and Israel's national pilot program in neonatal intensive care units.
About whole-genome sequencing
WGS is the most comprehensive method for genetic disease testing and allows identification of pathogenic variants in non-coding regions as well as unprecedented detection of disease-causing single nucleotide variants, small insertions and deletions, and copy number and structural variants, among others. WGS can accelerate time to diagnosis for patients with suspected genetic diseases, ending the long and painful odysseys for patients and their families, helping optimize treatment and management. Use of rWGS for diagnosing genetic conditions in critically ill children in intensive care settings requires fast turnaround of results (in less than 10 days), enabling timely provision of optimal care. Current diagnostic options are based solely on conventional approaches such as single gene tests, gene panels, and chromosomal microarray.

The order has been placed by NTPC Limited for supply of 6 nos. 6,000 HP Electric Locomotives for material handling operations at Lara thermal power project site.
With this order, BHEL has expanded its offerings in its rolling stock business, driven by increasing the existing basket of products and services in new market segments, specifically for industries viz. power, steel, cement, etc., in addition to Indian Railways.
As the world continues to explore new ways of limiting carbon emissions in the transportation sector, BHEL’s efforts in offering eco-friendly electric locomotives for industry will provide a relatively cleaner and alternative option to diesel electric locomotives.
The locomotives shall be manufactured at BHEL’s Jhansi facility and will be equipped with state-of-the-art IGBT-based propulsion equipment, developed and supplied by the company’s Bengaluru unit.
The traction motors for the locomotives will be supplied from BHEL’s Bhopal plant. So far, BHEL has supplied more than 450 nos. electric locomotives of various ratings to Indian Railways which are running successfully. | https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/bhel-bags-order-for-6-000-hp-electric-locomotives-from-ntpc/amp-11650870994865.html | 2022-04-25T07:40:06Z | https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/bhel-bags-order-for-6-000-hp-electric-locomotives-from-ntpc/amp-11650870994865.html | false | 1 |
The UK is set to be colder than Scandinavia this week as the exact dates of the next snowfall are predicted by some weather forecasters. WXCharts has hinted snow could fall across the May Bank Holiday weekend in parts of Scotland and even northern England.
Manchester northwards is set for some flurries from May 1, they say. But the Met Office remains unconvinced, with its latest nationwide forecast not mentioning snow at all.
Even so, Britain will be colder than parts of Scandinavia this week - with the temperatures dropping to highs of just 9C at times. It is a far cry from last week's 16C highs. The country could be hit by -2C overnight frosts, too.

A Met Office forecaster said: “North-easterly winds will bring cooler air, with chilly nights and widespread frosts possible. Temperatures are slightly below or near normal into the start of May, with mainly dry conditions this week but showers possible in the North.”
Weathertrending's John Hammond said: “The mercury will go into reverse, with a cooler trend to end April. Fresh waves of Arctic air mean a good chance, even across southern Britain, of temperatures falling close to or below freezing. One or two wintry showers are not ruled out later in the week, most likely on higher ground in the North.”
The Met Office say: "Frosty mornings possible after colder nights for inland and rural areas. Most areas remaining dry, but showers possible in the north, and far south. Likely to be breezy in the southwest, and the south at times. The start of May could turn unsettled with the risk of some cooler air arriving from the north. "

Rescue girls from danger of premature pregnancy
Anybody who gives contraceptives to minors risks being jailed for 20 years. Those engaging in this illegal business will pay the price when caught.
But although this legislation was enacted to protect young girls, the dispensing of contraceptives continues unabated and with devastating consequences.
From the latest data, it is evident that the law is not a deterrent. According to available statistics, one in every four girls aged between 10 and 19 in Kenya is either pregnant or has given birth to her first child. Talk of ‘babies’ having babies and the anguish on their feeble and fickle minds!
It is, of course, a delicate matter that stirs a lot of emotion. Issues of adolescent sexuality and reproductive health have often sparked controversy among parents, the authorities, and religious leaders.
Providing them with contraceptives to prevent pregnancy is a violation of the Children Act, which underpins the rights and protection of the young people.
As Dr Stephen Kaliti, the head of reproductive and maternal health at the Ministry of Health headquarters has graphically explained, putting the minors on contraceptives is like giving them a licence to “drive their bodies the way they want without considering the consequences”. We could not agree more with him that children should be allowed to be children and not young adults who can consent to sexual relationships.
However, most parents cannot bring themselves to discussing the taboo subject with their children—especially fathers and their daughters and mothers and their sons.
In the traditional setup, aunts and grandmothers provided education on sex and relationships to young girls. It’s not possible today.
The challenge is to come up with a strategy that addresses all the sensitivities around this topic while delivering the desired results. The alternative rite of passage embraced by the faiths is a possible option for delivering this useful information.
Another way, but which the clergy and other like-minded individuals an organisations are opposed to, is offering sex education in schools. This is not going to change soon. Therefore, the authorities must deal with the issue with more sensitivity.
It’s important that children are not prematurely burdened with becoming mothers, which is a responsibility beyond their mental and physical abilities. | https://nation.africa/kenya/blogs-opinion/editorials/-rescue-girls-from-danger-of-premature-pregnancy-3793202 | 2022-04-25T07:50:57Z | https://nation.africa/kenya/blogs-opinion/editorials/-rescue-girls-from-danger-of-premature-pregnancy-3793202 | true | 1 |

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Nearly 12 years after University of Virginia lacrosse player Yeardley Love was found dead in her off-campus apartment, the man who was convicted of second-degree murder in her killing is headed back to court for a civil trial in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Yeardley’s mother.
Jury selection is expected in Charlottesville Circuit Court on Monday in a trial that will seek to hold George Huguely liable in the death of Love. The lawsuit seeks $29.5 million in compensatory damages and $1 million in punitive damages.
Love and Huguely were both seniors who were weeks away from graduating. They were known for their play on UVA’s nationally ranked men’s and women’s lacrosse teams, but they were also known for their volatile relationship.
Prosecutors said Huguely kicked a hole in Love’s bedroom door, then beat her after a day of golf and binge drinking, enraged that she had had a relationship with a lacrosse player from North Carolina.
A medical examiner concluded that the 22-year-old Love died of blunt force trauma to her head, but defense and prosecution experts offered differing medical opinions on the lethal consequences of her injuries.
The civil trial is expected to include many of the same witnesses, although many of them are expected to testify in videotaped depositions instead of in person.
Huguely’s attorney, Matthew Green, said the defense will acknowledge that Huguely’s assault and battery caused Love’s death and that her family is entitled to compensatory damages in an amount to be decided by the jury. But he said the defense does not believe punitive damages are appropriate.
Green said Huguely is expected to testify. He said Huguely will be brought to court from prison on the day he is scheduled to testify, but not on the other days of the trial. | https://www.journal-news.com/nation-world/trial-to-begin-in-lawsuit-over-death-of-uva-lacrosse-player/BLMISQ66DBBU3GEZMQLAKKMOXQ/ | 2022-04-25T08:04:53Z | https://www.journal-news.com/nation-world/trial-to-begin-in-lawsuit-over-death-of-uva-lacrosse-player/BLMISQ66DBBU3GEZMQLAKKMOXQ/ | true | 66 |
Lawyer for 'Libs of TikTok' Creator Goes off on 'Groomers,' Reveals He's the Perfect Man for the Case
Intentionally confusing young schoolchildren by inundating them with gender identity nonsense and the like should be considered a crime against humanity. It is an attack against the Biblical truth of Genesis 5:2 that when God created humans, “male and female he created them. He blessed them and named them ‘human.'” The gender identity movement is also an affront to common sense.
Ron Coleman, who was part of the Trump legal team and is a partner at Dhillon Law Group, has had enough. His firm represents “Libs of Tik Tok,” a Twitter account that exposes the far-left gender identity activists for what they really are: groomers.
The creator of LoTT remained anonymous until Taylor Lorenz, the Washington Post’s hypocritical internet culture reporter, wrote an expose in which she doxed the woman behind LoTT, publicly sharing personal information including her home and workplace addresses. Leftists try to suppress the First Amendment because they know full well that when their useful idiots go public, they look very, very bad to us common folk.
LoTT posts video clips of gender identity activists plying their trade on Twitter. The clips have been posted elsewhere on social media by the activists themselves. LoTT gathers clips into a freakshow forum.
LoTT is not a hit operation. It merely highlights what the crazies are saying about themselves. The site does little in the way of editing or commenting on the clips.
Coleman, an orthodox Jew, knows full well that lawyers who defend conservative causes face backlash.
Coleman is ready. He defended LoTT by threatening legal action against those who post false tweets about the LoTT founder. “The phony ‘tweet’ shown below is false and defamatory,” Coleman tweeted. “Our client never tweeted it. Legal action is being contemplated. Anyone with information concerning the creator of this fake tweet is invited to contact me.”
Our firm has represented @libsoftiktok for some time.
The phony “tweet” shown below is false and defamatory. Our client never tweeted it.
Legal action is being contemplated. Anyone with information concerning the creator of this fake tweet is invited to contact me. pic.twitter.com/4DRZbGcCrX
— Ron Coleman (@RonColeman) April 19, 2022
The best the leftists could do was ask Coleman “Do you always choose to represent bigots?” Coleman shot back with, “Do you always choose [to] defend groomers?”
Coleman also suggested the fake tweeters might want to look for work work at Disney.
Libs hate our client @libsoftiktok so much for tweeting about real TikToks they make up fake tweets – latest one shown below – to discredit her.
Maybe there’s work for these talented creators at @Disney?
Meanwhile, if you’re considering spreading this… you’re on notice⚖️ https://t.co/2RRZtYQlZh
— Ron Coleman (@RonColeman) April 21, 2022
In short, Coleman, a man of strong faith, is not afraid of the crazy left. Let’s see them try to cancel him in a courtroom.
Tucker Carlson is no stranger to backlash for his conservatives views, either. He jumped in to defend LoTT by devoting an opening monologue to the subject and airing clips from LGBTQ activists discussing how they educate young schoolchildren about gender fluidity, transgenderism and the Black Lives Matter movement.
One of the “teachers” on the clips claims that when babies are born the doctors look at them and “guess” the baby’s gender.
Another “teacher” claims that three- and four-year-old kids are aware of gender identity and that anybody who disagrees with teaching kindergarteners about it is guilty of “internalized homophobia and transphobia.”
The far left is smart enough to understand that when mainstream Americans watch these clips about innocent children being indoctrinated with nonsense, they get angry.
Yes, it really is that bad. Political activists on the extreme left are teaching your children. Whether or not these “teachers” know it, they are promoting Marxist ideology in their attack against reason and Biblical truth.
It was Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn who observed back in 1983 that, “Within the philosophical system of Marx and Lenin, and at the heart of their psychology, hatred of God is the principal driving force, more fundamental than all their political and economic pretensions.”
Though the far left never tires of brandishing the slogan of “social justice,” at bottom, their goal is to usurp God. They hate God. If there is any hope of accomplishing their goal, they must undermine reason. Reason is a gift from God, and they want to send it back.
These activists target the young because the young have not yet learned to reason for themselves. That’s about as diabolical as it gets. At some level, the leftists know this and do their best to squelch anybody who would dare to use reason to call them out. Why? Because they can’t win if they have to answer to reason.
They can’t do away with God without doing away with reason first.
We need to get back to teaching our children how to think. It’s not so difficult. Reading, writing and arithmetic.
Enough with the nonsense. Get real or get out of our schools.

The Dawn Service has been held at Anzac Cove at Gallipoli in Turkey.
This year New Zealand is the ceremonial lead at the service at Anzac Cove. The formal ceremony has not been held for the last two years because of the pandemic.
Chief of Army, major general John Boswell said the impact of what happened at Gallipoli 107 years ago is embedded in the national memory of New Zealand and Australia.
"Today we walk in the footsteps of Australians and New Zealanders who have for more than a century returned to this special place to remember what happened here and to pay their respects.

Advertise with NZME."We continue to come because the passage of time does not erode the tragedy of what occurred at Anzac Cove, or the significance it has for both our nations."
There were 2332 New Zealanders who died at Gallipoli in 1915, but only 413 have named graves.
Minister for Veteran Affairs Meka Whaitiri told those gathered at Gallipoli the senseless toll of war continues to inflict itself on communities throughout the world.
Whaitiri described all those who gallantly fought on the Gallipoli Peninsula 107 years ago as courageous.
"Gallipoli has a special place in New Zealand's history, it was an unparralleled human disaster for such a small and remote country, which touched every corner of our land."
She toured the battlefields and cemetery yesterday.
"The Anzacs faced an enormous logistical challenge when they landed 107 years ago. Unforgiving terrain, lack of coordination across the allied forces, supply accessway issues and the sheer numbers and fortitude of the Ottoman Empire Army," she said.
"Despite those real challenges our Anzacs fought bravely and fought long. A continued sense of loss lingers for them and their whānau. Ka maumahara tātou ki a rātou. We will remember them."

Ukrainian flag flies at Auckland War Memorial Museum service
Thousands of New Zealanders have gathered at dawn services and ceremonies across Aotearoa to mark Anzac Day, 107 years since our soldiers landed at Gallipoli in Turkey.
For those looking to the skies, aircraft from the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) have been conducting flypasts around New Zealand today.
The Air Force Heritage Flight (based at Ohakea), No 3 Squadron (Ohakea), No 5 Squadron (Whenuapai) and Central Flying School (Ohakea) have been covering routes over much of the North Island and some of the South Island.
Approximate times are available on the NZ Defence Force website, with the final flypast expected at 4pm at Ohake.
The planes set out early this morning - around the same time as 2000 people gathered for a dawn service at the Auckland War Memorial Museum, Tāmaki Paenga Hira.

Advertise with NZME.Dawn services are also being held around the world, including at Gallipoli for the first time since 2019, honouring those who served in world wars and subsequent conflicts.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has been at the top of many people's minds, with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern calling it a "grim reminder of the fragile nature of peace, and the devastating impact of war on people's lives".
At the Auckland War Memorial Museum a Ukrainian flag flew atop the building at the request of the RSA.
There were fewer people than usual at the museum as the country is finding its way out of the Omicron outbreak.
As the sky began to lighten, the New Zealand, Australian and Union Jack flags were lowered and the crowd fell silent as those gathered remembered those who had served and lost their lives.
The Last Post and Reveille was played by Sergeant Bill Rimmer and Vietnam veteran Murray Watene recited his poem, Stand To (First Light Anzac).

Around the country the national anthems of Australia and New Zealand rang out, and wreaths were laid at cenotaphs in commemoration of the fallen.
Ardern, Auckland Mayor Phil Goff, and others including Sir Graham Lowe and Sir Buck Shelford - representing the Auckland Returned Services Association (RSA) - were among those paying their respects at Auckland's museum.
The Anglican Bishop of Auckland, the Right Reverend Ross Bay, concluded the service with a benediction and veterans marched off the court of honour to the sound of applause.
Members of the public remained at the site laying poppies following the service. It has been 100 years since Anzac poppies were first sold on New Zealand's streets to commemorate those who had died and fundraise for veterans still living.
PM speaks at Anzac service, decries "senseless" invasion of Ukraine
Ardern later spoke at the Mount Albert War Memorial Hall, honouring the "courage, compassion and spirit of service" of those who fought in the two world wars and subsequent conflicts.

Advertise with NZME.She said it was "precious" to be able to gather again after the pandemic had cancelled so many gatherings.
"Anzac Day is a time to give thanks to today's armed forces who strive to uphold the values we hold dear as they continue to serve in areas of conflict overseas.
"And it is a time to acknowledge all who have been affected by war – those who have lost loved ones, those who have shared the struggles of family members returning from service, and those who have come to us as refugees."
She also spoke of Kiwis who feared for their families and friends affected by conflict.
The invasion of Ukraine was fresh in everyone's minds, she said - "a most grim reminder of the fragile nature of peace, and the devastating impact of war on people's lives".
"In New Zealand we may feel a great distance from this conflict, but we are all inextricably linked to what it represents."

Advertise with NZME.Ardern called the invasion of Ukraine "a senseless act of war" that was taking innocent lives and threatened international laws as well as our sense of humanity.
That made it a threat to all of us, and everyone must do their part, she said.
At the National Commemoration Service at Wellington's National War Memorial Park this morning, Governor-General Dame Cindy Kiro said for some Anzac Day would bring to front of mind friends or whānau involved in peacekeeping missions and other deployments overseas.
"[Our] thoughts also turn to those caught in the midst of current conflicts around the world," she said.
"We see their anguish at the loss of loved ones, homes, and livelihoods. We know that the repercussions of these events will be felt for generations.
"In what can feel like a destabilising and unsettling time, we must strive to anchor ourselves to our sense of shared humanity – to those qualities that connect and bind us, first and foremost."

Dame Cindy also spoke at the National Dawn Service at Pukeahu this morning, as more than 400 people gathered in the dark.
Chief of the Defence Force Air Marshal Kevin Short read extracts from the diary of 19-year-old Sergeant Vincent Arthur from Inglewood, who took part in New Zealand's desperate defence of Singapore in 1942.
Sergeant Arthur was shot down over the coast of Singapore and has no known grave but is commemorated at the Singapore memorial, RNZ reports.
Soldiers loosened the flags in front of the national war memorial, in preparation for them to be lowered to half-mast.
Turkish ambassador Omur Unsay and Wellington RSA president Colonel Theo Kuper also spoke.
Returned and Services Associations national president BJ Clark says the public is welcome to come into their local RSA and be part of remembrance events, and chat with veterans.

Advertise with NZME.Wellington resident Manfred James, who attended the dawn service in the capital, was wearing his grandfather's medals at the ceremony.
James returned to New Zealand during the pandemic and this was his first opportunity to commemorate Anzac Day in person since then.
"We've learned a lot over the last few years of how we can adapt during difficult times ... it's really important to come back here and pause for a moment," he told Newstalk ZB.
In Christchurch the traditional dawn service in Cranmer Square has not been held due to the pandemic, to avoid putting elderly servicemen and women at risk from Omicron.
But a service was live-streamed from Christchurch's Transitional Cathedral.
In Dunedin, hundreds gathered under a clear starry sky at the cenotaph at Queen's Gardens for a 6.30am service which began with two shots of a 25-pound gun operated by gunners from the Royal New Zealand Artillery.

Advertise with NZME.Captain Shaun Fogarty addressed the crowd, acknowledging those who served and touching on other conflicts around the world including Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Otago Daily Times reported.
''We should not shy aware from recognising that there are those in the world who are prepared to use violence in its most extreme forms in an effort to achieve their aims.''
In Northland small Anzac Day ceremonies have still been held despite Covid.
At least 500 people gathered at the Whangārei Cenotaph in Laurie Hall Park, with the public in a fenced area to keep veterans safe. There was no parade through the city.
A service was also held at Tou Rangatira, a series of carved pou near Te Tii Marae in Waitangi. And at the Paihia RSA at least 300 people gathered for a march down to the waterfront, where a service was held beside a propeller from the Navy frigate Canterbury. The rest of the vessel is at the bottom of Deep Water Cove.
In Hawke's Bay people gathered at Taradale and Hastings for dawn ceremonies, with an Air Force flyover rumbling over the Hastings Civic Square Cenotaph.

Advertise with NZME.In Australia, High Commissioner Annette King has remembered the sacrifices made by New Zealanders and Australians who served in two world wars and other conflicts.
"We think of those who have experienced the horror and impact of war - our veterans, our armed services personnel, families of the fallen, our refugee communities and those who carried the burden at home.
"We think too of New Zealanders and Australians experiencing fear and heartache for their families and friends affected by current instability and conflicts around the world."
Prince Charles has also remembered the "courageous troops who endured so much in 1915 on the beaches and in the rugged hills of the Gallipoli Peninsula".
And he paid tribute to communities around the world in places torn apart by conflict, and those fighting for freedom from oppression.
Sir Jerry Mateparae reflects on the Anzac Spirit
Ka mihi atu ahau ki a koutou kātoa e huihui mai ana ki te whakanui i te ra o ANZAC me te maumāhara ki te hunga i mate i roto i ngā pakanga kātoa. E kore e warewaretia. Kia ora tātou kātoa.

Advertise with NZME.I acknowledge all of you who will gather to commemorate Anzac Day and to remember those who lost their lives in all wars. They will never be forgotten. Greetings to all.
For the past two years, we have commemorated Anzac Day differently because of the Covid-19 disease. This year, how and where we gather will again be different. What will not differ from our other Anzac Days is the reason we will gather. We will gather to remember the men and the women who served in our nation's armed forces in times of war and conflict, especially those who paid the ultimate sacrifice and recall their legacy, our sense of our national identity - who we are and what we stand for in the world today.
On Anzac Day 2020 I was in a managed isolation hotel in Auckland. Like others who had returned to Aotearoa, I was not permitted to leave my room. Elsewhere in New Zealand at dawn, New Zealanders stood at their gates, separated from others outside their household. They gathered to remember the Anzacs.
I have been privileged to commemorate the Anzacs and their successors in places around the world, notably at Gallipoli. Each Anzac Day I remember my two grandfathers who served during World War I, one of whom fought at Gallipoli. They returned to New Zealand when a different disease - the Spanish Flu - wreaked havoc in communities around New Zealand.
Almost 21 years after World War I ended in 1918, on September 3, 1939, the Prime Ministers of Australia and New Zealand joined Britain in declaring war on Nazi Germany. Anzacs would again go to war. Of Māori support for World War II, Sir Āpirana Ngata wrote: "We will lose some of our most promising young leaders but we will gain the respect of our Pākehā brothers". The losses, Ngata reasoned, were the price of citizenship. That obligation of citizenship has been and is still being, met by New Zealanders - Māori, their Pākehā brothers and sisters - and our Australian cousins. The spirit and example of the first Anzacs endure.
Comradeship, kinship or whanaungatanga is a cornerstone of the Anzac spirit. Military service creates strong bonds of mateship in teams and across generations. One of the special things about attending the Anzac dawn service is the after-match activities and the opportunity for young people to mix and mingle with older veterans. This year, serving soldiers, sailors and aviators in New Zealand will be able to attend Anzac Day services in uniform, as in the past, but will not be able to attend after-functions. The reason, in part, is to protect our vulnerable older veterans - comradeship, kinship and whanaungatanga in practice.

Advertise with NZME.This year when I commemorate Anzac Day I will remember my two koroua and other veterans who have passed away. Two veterans I will particularly remember this year are World War II veteran Lieutenant RNZNVR (Retd) Neil Harton, who died just shy of his 105th birthday, and Vietnam War veteran Lieutenant Colonel (Retd) Sir Wira Gardiner. I spent time with both men at commemorative events - Wira on Crete and Neil at Normandy. Both epitomised the Anzac spirit - courage, mateship and good humour.
"I te hekenga atu o te rā, tae noa ki te aranga mai i te ata, ka maumāhara tonu tātou ki a rātou - At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them."

A former officer in the New Zealand Army, he was chief of the New Zealand Defence Force (2006 -2011) and then director of the New Zealand Government Communications Security Bureau for five months. After his term as Governor-General, Sir Jerry was the High Commissioner of New Zealand to the United Kingdom between 2017 and 2020. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/anzac-day-2022-live-anzac-cove-service-gallipoli-touched-every-corner-of-our-land/5YAQH2TMZLSTOT44HLVMCDVEE4/ | 2022-04-25T08:11:41Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/anzac-day-2022-live-anzac-cove-service-gallipoli-touched-every-corner-of-our-land/5YAQH2TMZLSTOT44HLVMCDVEE4/ | false | 1 |

In the Google Play Store There are countless applications, and among them, those that allow us to record the conversations that we have on mobiles based on Android. But their use involves some problems and that is why this store will stop supporting them on May 11.
That is why said notice is made once and for all and the policies are updated by Google to deal with this type of tools that have caused controversy.
This type of software is very practical, but for some it means a clear invasion of privacy. All because anyone can take advantage of a call recording for other purposes, such as blackmail.
However, there are also other uses, such as evidence before a trial that will determine its validity or not. Voice recordings are a ‘two-edged sword’. They can be used for the worst purposes or to prevent great injustice.
Some believe that the use of a voice recording application must be a consensual agreement between two or more people. It’s why Google changes your attitude towards software that includes this type of function and that can be purchased in the Google Play Store.
What the company will do is that tools that ask the accessibility API (Application Programming Interface) for permission to record will not be able to update.
We also recommend: WhatsApp will let hide last connection to specific contacts
They will only be able to do so until they stop requesting permission for that feature. It should be noted that this has to do with the applications that are downloaded from this store.
This change in the Google Play Store does not apply to preloaded software
But there are mobile phones that already have this type of function integrated into their system, which will not be affected. This information comes from a developer conference where the changes to the Android store policies were discussed.
Of course, this applies to applications that are installed directly from the Google Play Storebut not those that the user downloads separately.
That is out of the control of the company, which is not responsible for using software in this way. What remains up in the air is how the developers will deal with these changes. If you want to know more about Android check the news on landgameras well as from Google news.

FUKUSHIMA, Japan, April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Fukushima Prefectural Government has released a new video depicting the present situation in Fukushima, 11 years after the Great East Japan Earthquake, on its official YouTube channel, which conveys "charms" and "now" in the prefecture as well as Fukushima's vitality and forward-looking attitude toward reconstruction.
- Fukushima Today
It is 11 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake. Fukushima Prefecture has been striving toward reconstruction while receiving lots of support and encouragement from home and abroad. The video introduces "Fukushima Now" which keeps challenging under the slogan: "Fukushima that makes achievements step-by-step."

- Video's overview
In March 2021, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic torch relay started from J-Village, a symbol of Fukushima's reconstruction. The video shows Fukushima moving toward reconstruction and its charms.
In areas where evacuation orders were lifted, the living environment has improved so that residents can return. Recovery work is 99% completed. The Soma-Fukushima Road on the Tohoku-Chuo Expressway has opened.
Efforts are underway to improve the brand power of agricultural, forestry and fishery products from Fukushima by thoroughly inspecting them for radioactive substances, aiming for the top position for Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) certification -- proof of product safety and quality. The "Fukushima Innovation Coast Framework," aimed at creating new industries, is steadily moving forward.
After a decade since the earthquake, a museum conveying the memories of the disaster to future generations was built and structural remains linked to the disaster were kept in place for preservation.
The video conveys "Fukushima Now" which keeps on challenging and moving toward a new future.
