Air India flight diverts to Nunavut airport after online security threat
An Air India flight, en route from Delhi to Chicago, was diverted to Iqaluit International airport in Nunavut Tuesday morning following an online security threat.
The Canadian Real Estate Association is downgrading its housing market forecast for the remainder of the year again, saying the Bank of Canada's interest rate cuts haven't spurred the gradual improvement it previously anticipated.
CREA said Tuesday it now thinks the national housing market will remain in "more of a holding pattern" until next spring with 468,900 properties forecast to trade hands this year.
That would mark a 5.2 per cent increase from 2023, down from its July prediction of a 6.1 per cent bump and its April outlook of 10.5 per cent.
The revised forecast came as CREA reported the latest national home sales and pricing data for September.
It said the average price of a home sold last month amounted to $669,630, up 2.1 per cent from September 2023. The association said it is now forecasting just a 0.9 per cent annual increase for 2024 to $683,200, down from its previous outlook of a 2.5 per cent annual increase.
On a year-over-year basis, the number of homes that changed hands in September rose 6.9 per cent, but CREA said sales ticked up just 1.9 per cent month-over-month from August after the Bank of Canada's third straight rate cut.
Toronto-based real estate agent Davelle Morrison called it somewhat surprising that buyers "aren't jumping in with both feet yet."
"I'm certainly living that with my clients in terms of trying to sell their condos for them. It's certainly taking a little bit longer than one would like," said Morrison, a broker with Bosley Real Estate Ltd.
"It would be one thing if we had lots of buyers and multiple offers and lots of showings, but the buyers are just taking their time."
There were 185,427 properties listed for sale across Canada at the end of September, up 16.8 per cent from a year earlier but still below historical averages of around 200,000 for this time of the year.
New listings grew 4.9 per cent month-over-month in September due to broad-based gains across most of the country’s biggest markets.
The association said a "sharper rebound" is expected by next spring.
“Sales gains are now three for three in the months following interest rate cuts, which is a trend even though the increases weren’t headline-grabbing,” said CREA senior economist Shaun Cathcart in a press release.
“That said, with the pace of rate cuts now expected to be much faster than previously thought, it’s possible some buyers may choose to hold off on a purchase for now. This could further boost the rebound expected in 2025 at the expense of the last few months of this year.”
The Bank of Canada began its rate-lowering process in June and has cut its key rate by a quarter-percentage point a total of three times so far this year, bringing it to 4.25 per cent.
The central bank faces its next interest rate decision on Oct. 23. Governor Tiff Macklem has said it is reasonable to expect more cuts are coming given recent progress made on lowering inflation.
With expectations of more aggressive easing, including a potential half-percentage point cut, Canadians "could be presented with mortgage rates by next spring that start to make things make more sense," said BMO senior economist Robert Kavcic in a note.
"All told, the resale housing market still hasn't responded meaningfully to early Bank of Canada rate cuts, which was entirely expected," he said.
"We're moving further down the rate-relief path, but it's still going to take more to get the market moving again."
CREA said Tuesday it anticipates national home sales will climb 6.6 per cent in 2025 as interest rates continue to decline and spark renewed demand, while average home prices are forecast to rise 4.4 per cent to $713,375 next year.
Morrison said that while lower interest rates are sure to lead to higher prices in the market, she suspects buyers may prove to be more cautious than in years past.
"I feel like they're not drunk on money anymore. I think that this (economic environment) has kind of taught them something ... and now they're trying to protect themselves for what may or may not happen later," she said.
"So I'm not sure that we're going to go back to the good old days where people are going crazy and throwing money at the housing market."
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 15, 2024.
An Air India flight, en route from Delhi to Chicago, was diverted to Iqaluit International airport in Nunavut Tuesday morning following an online security threat.
The chances of a half-percentage point interest rate cut by the Bank of Canada became more likely Tuesday after Statistics Canada reported the annual inflation rate fell to 1.6 per cent in September.
It will feel more like winter for some parts of Eastern Canada over the next few days, with single-digit highs and snow in the forecast.

Singapore scrambles fighter jets after bomb threat on Air India Express flight
Air India Express flight AXB684 landed safely at Changi Airport.
SINGAPORE: The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) scrambled F-15SG jets on Tuesday night (Oct 15) after a bomb threat on an Air India Express flight.
The airline had received an email that there was a bomb on board flight AXB684 that was bound for Singapore, Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen said in a Facebook post.
Two F-15SG jets escorted the plane away from populated areas and it touched down at Changi Airport at around 10.04pm, more than an hour after it was due to land.
"Our Ground Based Air Defence systems and Explosive Ordnance Disposal team were also activated. Once on the ground, the plane was handed to the Airport Police," Dr Ng said, adding that investigations are ongoing.
"Many thanks to the dedication and professionalism of our Singapore Armed Forces and Home Team that keep us safe in our homes, even when threats exist around us."
Air India Express is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Air India and a part of the Tata group.
Flight AXB684 took off from Madurai at about 1.54pm and was due to land in Singapore at about 8.50pm, according to flight tracking website Flightradar24.
It was one of several flights taking off from India that were disrupted on Monday and Tuesday due to bomb threats, media outlets in India reported.
An Air India Express flight from Ayodhya to Bengaluru also received a hoax bomb threat on Tuesday, according to NDTV.
One Air India flight from New Delhi to Chicago was forced to make an emergency landing at Iqaluit Airport in Canada after a "security threat" was posted online, the airline said.
The aircraft and passengers were "rescreened as per the laid down security protocol".
“Air India notes that it, and other local airlines, have been subject to a number of threats in recent days," it added.
Similar hoaxes were received by India's low-cost airline IndiGo for two flights from Mumbai on Monday – one to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia and another to Muscat in Oman, according to media outlets in India.
NDTV reported that a SpiceJet flight SG116 from Darbhanga to Mumbai and an Akasa Air flight QP1373 from Bagdogra to Bengaluru also received bomb threats on Tuesday.

Paul Mescal has always had a “gut feeling” that he won’t live a long life, and so he’s thought about starting a family young.
In a new interview with GQ, Paul said: “I’ve always been convinced that I’m not going to live a long life…in my head it’s never been drastic. It’s just like a gut feeling. And maybe it’s to do with the fact that I can’t visualize myself as an 80-year-old man.”
He continued: “But I’m also afraid of death. So I think if death was to come for me at 55, I’d be equally afraid of it as I would be at 90.”
“It’s always in my head. I was like, Going to have a family young. I’m going to not survive a long time. Hopefully, I’m wrong. I think I will be wrong. But that’s just the truth around my brain,” he added.
On a lighter note, the Normal People actor was asked if rumors about him taking his dates to the park and ditching them there were true. He revealed that he first encountered the rumors when he was with his family.
He said: “We were looking at the videos and we were pissing ourselves at it. Categorically untrue. And we were laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing. And the one thing that upset me was that I was in the kitchen, I remember my mum looking at the videos and she was getting upset. Isn’t that devastating? I was like, Oh, it’s funny to us—my brother, me, my sister—because we know that this is the way the internet works. It’s hilarious. If it was true, it’d be f-cking bad, but as a rumor, it’s funny. Then I was like, Oh, if you’re a mother, her impulse is to come out and be like, ‘He wouldn’t do this.’”
The Gladiator II actor was also asked about his personal life, and he explained that he prefers to keep it private “for the benefit of my own sanity” as well as benefit of his work, as it helps people imagine him in his roles if they don’t know too much about his personal life.
Paul Mescal's Gladiator II will hit theaters on November 22.

Alison Hammond on Strictly star's brutal five-word remark to Bake Off star
Former Strictly star Alison Hammond has lifted the lid on the cheeky piece of advice her dance partner Aljaz Skorjanec gave her before her final dance-off.
Alison Hammond has revealed one cheeky piece of advice her former Strictly Come Dancing dance partner Aljaz Skorjanec gave her during her final performance.
Last week, the Great British Bake Off presenter returned to the famous white tent with her co-host Noel Fielding and judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood.
It was bread week on the Channel 4 baking competition, with the remaining 10 bakers tasked to make 12 savoury buns in the signature challenge.
As the bakers attempted their very best, John became emotional after one of his dishes took a turn for the worse. With just 15 minutes left on the clock, the Brummy native realised that there was something wrong with his bagels.
As Alison walked over to his bench, he fumed: “I make bagels all the time and they never sink ever. I’m not having a good day, my bagels aren’t rising. I make bagels all the time.”
It was at this point that things became too much for the young baker who walked out of the tent as he shed a tear.
Determined to make things better, the This Morning presenter offered a shoulder to cry on as she shared a very important piece of advice from her time competing on Strictly Come Dancing.

She told him: “When I did Strictly, it was a dance off and I knew I was going out but Aljaz looked at me and he went, ‘She can still fall over’.
“So, I’m looking at you now going, someone could still burn it. Go and hold your head up high and enjoy yourself. Have a laugh because someone could still fall over!”
The TV favourite couldn’t help but chuckle as he wiped the tears from his face and returned to the tent to complete his dish.
It didn’t take long before fans flooded to X and shared their surprise online.
One user penned: “I need that Alison Strictly pep talk recorded for my bad days #GBBO.”
Another agreed: “Alison saying Aljaz told her ‘she could still fall over’ [two cry laughing emojis] #GBBO.” A third chimed in with: “Alison’s pep talk to John on #gbbo was really lovely.”
A fourth echoed: “#GBBO Alison Hammond has to be one of the best presenters we have currently in the UK – joyful, funny, humane, professional” as another simply stated: “We all need an Alison [heart emoji] #GBBO.”
When it came to judging, John presented his ‘Horn of Pride’ Cornucopia while Prue praised him on his presentation. However, Paul immediately noticed that John’s bagels had fallen flat.
As John explained how his breakfast staple had sunk in the water, Hollywood explained that he likely “overproofed” them.
But unfortunately, Alison’s motivating pep talk wasn’t enough to keep John in the competition, as he was the second contestant to be booted from the long-running baking competition.
Fans will have to stay tuned to see which bakers will make it through to the grand final.
Great British Bake Off airs tonight on Channel 4 at 8pm

Samsung wants future phones to have no Settings menu at all
- Samsung seems to be working on a new AI feature that will let you use your phone without ever opening the Settings menu.
- It will reportedly predict settings you may wish to change based on your usage pattern.
Samsung is investing heavily in new AI features and experiences to give its phones an edge over the competition. In addition to the Galaxy AI features introduced earlier this year, the company has confirmed that it’s exploring new form factors for AI-powered devices that would offer users a more optimized combination of large screens and portability. But that only seems to be the beginning of Samsung’s AI endeavors.
The South Korean tech giant is reportedly working on a new AI experience that would let you use your smartphone without ever interacting with the Settings menu. According to ET News, the company plans to implement an AI feature on its devices “that can predict what consumers want in advance by improving the performance of ‘touch points’ such as keyboard and camera.”
Samsung devices already let you change various settings without opening the Settings menu using Bixby. However, this implementation requires users to trigger Bixby and issue a voice command. In contrast, the AI-powered solution could automatically change settings based on usage patterns.
If Samsung manages to execute this perfectly, the new AI experience could change the way we use our phones. But if the company rushes it to market, it may end up being incredibly frustrating to deal with. We don’t expect Samsung to release a half-baked solution, but the recent trend of companies releasing unfinished AI products in a bid to be the first to market has left us apprehensive.

It will feel more like winter for some parts of Eastern Canada over the next few days, with snow in the forecast in areas of Ontario and Quebec.
Temperatures are chilly in Ontario and Quebec, with single-digit highs Tuesday and Wednesday, said Kelsey McEwen, chief meteorologist for CTV's Your Morning.
Snow is forecast Tuesday during the day in areas like Timmins, Ont., and later Tuesday night for areas much farther south, McEwen said.
North edges of the Greater Toronto Area have a chance of showers mixing with snow Tuesday night with temperatures hovering between 2 to 3 C, she added. McEwen said some of those showers could become flurries in places such as Newmarket, Ont.
For Toronto, there’s a possibility of showers turning into snow amid an overnight low of 3 C. Snow can fall even with temperatures as warm as 6 C at the surface if there is cold enough air above it, McEwen said. But the snow mixed with rain won’t be heavy and won’t accumulate much on the ground, she added.
Weather advisories are in place for areas in Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador.
Accumulating snow of five to 10 cm is possible north of Quebec City, for places north of St. Lawrence, Nfld., and toward Labrador areas around Happy Valley Goose Bay, Nfld., she said.
At the same time, there are warmer places further east. Temperatures will be steady Tuesday near 11 C in Charlottetown, P.E.I., with double-digit highs for the rest of the week, according to Environment Canada. Halifax will also have double-digit temperatures this week. Ingonish Beach in Cape Breton, N.S., is even hotter, at 18.2 C past 11:30 a.m. ET Tuesday.
Western Canada won't have such a rude awakening to the cold. It's expected to be mild in the region, McEwen said.
Calgary will have double-digit highs this week, except Thursday when temperatures will dip to 8 C.
Medicine Hat, Alta., will see a high of 24 C on Tuesday, 11 C above average, McEwen said. On Wednesday, it will be 28 C in Regina and 18 C in Winnipeg (8 C above average).
But it's not as pleasant further north, with Margaret Lake, Yukon at -16.3 C past 11:30 ET Tuesday.
Ontario and Quebec will feel a bit of relief later in the week. It will feel slightly warmer Thursday and mostly on Friday, McEwen said. In Toronto, highs will mostly be 18 C from Friday through the weekend, according to Environment Canada.
U.S. freeze warnings
It's a bleaker situation south of the border. Freeze or frost warnings have been issued for more than 60 million people in the central and eastern United States, with the coldest temperatures since spring on the way for many areas Wednesday, CNN reported Tuesday. A surge of chilly Canadian air and a vast cold front are bringing chilly fall weather to many areas. It's a drastic shift for most of the country, according to the U.S. news outlet. Temperatures could plunge to 10 to 15 F below average by midweek.

Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins viewers fume over 'humiliating and degrading' clip
Outraged viewers slammed Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins after a controversial challenge left a Love Island star facing "humiliating" treatment during the show's tense finale.
Viewers of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins were outraged by a recent challenge in which a Love Island star was said to have been "humiliated" and "degraded" on live television.
The 29-year-old reality TV star was one of the last four celebrities competing in the show's finale, alongside boxer Lani Daniels, former professional fighter Anthony Ogogo, and fellow reality star Bianca Gascoigne.
The final four faced a gruelling interrogation, staged as though they had been captured behind enemy lines in the remote New Zealand wilderness.
During this intense scenario, the recruits were required to stick to a fake cover story provided by the directing staff while enduring relentless questioning.
At one point, Harrison, the group's designated leader, broke down in tears during the interrogation.

@georgialouiseharrisonThe final episode of Celebrity SAS airs tonight at 9pm. We’re down to only 4 recruits and I still can’t believe I made it to the final stages. I never thought I would be able to get through the physical challenges but here we are in interrogation and it’s more challenging than I ever could have imagined. Who do you think is going to pass ?
♬ original sound - Georgia Harrison
The emotional toll escalated when she was placed in an outdoor cage and subjected to a "punishment," where she was left curled up as water was poured over her.
In the end, it was revealed that Georgia and 36-year-old champion boxer Lani successfully completed the final challenges, earning them the title of winners of the latest Channel 4 series.
Georgia had posted a short clip from the scene on her TikTok page leading to backlash from fans.
In the caption, she wrote: “The final episode of Celebrity SAS airs tonight at 9pm. We’re down to only 4 recruits and I still can’t believe I made it to the final stages. I never thought I would be able to get through the physical challenges but here we are in interrogation and it’s more challenging than I ever could have imagined. Who do you think is going to pass?”
However, viewers were left fuming over the short video. In the comments section, one person wrote: “why they getting degraded, looks like a humiliating kink thingy.”
A second person said: “This is horrible to watch. Why would you humiliate for a TV program? As a woman I find that really distressing. The program needs to be scrapped.”
A third person chimed in: “This is so psychological I don’t like it.” Another social media user penned: “This is awful.”
However, some people praised Georgia for her brave performance. “Sooooo unbelievably proud of you & Lani!! I cried!!! I’m a terrible empath!! You prove time and time again how strong and resilient you are in ALL aspects of your life!! So proud!!!” one person said.
Another added: “Oh Georgia. You’re such an inspiration to many women out here.. well done for taking this on.. I bet you feel unstoppable now?”

Today's hottest smartphone deals come from Samsung and OnePlus
Smartphones keep getting more expensive, so we’re always on the lookout for the hottest deals. Just yesterday, we covered that the 2024 Motorola Razr and Razr Plus were at all-time lows, and they still are! But maybe you want something else. Today, we have a couple of extra deals for you. You can save $250 on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, bringing the price down to $849.99. Alternatively, the OnePlus 12 is hitting a record-low price of $649.99, saving you $150.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 offer is available directly from Samsung’s website. Max savings only apply to the White, Mint, and Peach color versions. If you want another color, you will only save $150. On the other hand, the OnePlus 12 deal is available from Amazon.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is a great foldable smartphone with a flip design. This form factor makes it a great option for those who want something small and pocketable. And the Galaxy Z Flip 6 just so happens to be among the best in this category. At $849.99, this is looking like a very nice deal, considering the retail price stands at $1,099.99. It’s also a new high-end smartphone, launched in July of this year.
Samsung made no compromises here. It has a gorgeous design, featuring an aluminum frame and glass exteriors. There’s a 3.4-inch external display for convenient access to your apps and notifications. Unfolding the device will reveal a 6.7-inch Full HD+ panel with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. We loved that the crease is much less noticeable this time around, and you still get an IP48 rating.
The performance is also top-notch. You get a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and 12GB of RAM. It’s very fast, and I’ve never seen it slow down. In our Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 review, we also praised the cameras, which are pretty solid, especially for a foldable. And as every Samsung flagship should, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 gets a 7-year update commitment, so you can keep the phone for years!
OnePlus 12
If you’re more of a fan of traditional candybar smartphones, the OnePlus 12 is a great alternative, especially at only $649.99. It’s a fantastic gaming phone and a great performer overall. It comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and 12GB of RAM. There are versions with more RAM — up to 24GB! Regardless, this discounted model is the base version.
The OnePlus 12 is built beautifully, with a unique design, aluminum frame, and glass back and front. The display is also quite gorgeous, measuring 6.82 inches. It has a sharp 3,168 x 1,440 resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, not to mention the impressive 4,500 nits of peak brightness.
The 5,400mAh battery is pretty large, but that isn’t what makes it stand out. What’s more impressive is that fast charging, which can reach 100W, or 80W in the US. And get this: wireless charging can reach 50W! That’s faster than most smartphones can charge wired.
Are you thinking of taking advantage of any of these deals? Go get them soon, as we’re not sure how long they will last. In case these don’t convince you, we also have a list of the best budget smartphones. If you’re willing to pay more for an upgrade, here’s a list of the best smartphones overall.

(MENAFN- PR Newswire)
MOMS ACROSS THE WORLD SHARE PERSONAL STORIES TO RAISE FUNDS AND IMPROVE HEALTHCARE FOR MOTHERS
NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
ALIMA (The Alliance for International Medical Action) has launched Ode to Strangers , an inspirational storytelling campaign that highlights the crisis of maternal mortality in sub-Saharan Africa and builds support for ALIMA's health programs for mothers-before, during, and after giving birth. Nearly 70% of the world's maternal deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa and 75% of those deaths are tied to treatable childbirth complications like hypertension, pre-eclampsia, and respiratory infection.
ALIMA's maternal healthcare efforts include the scaling of a research program called Wakobo-Ti-Kodro, which uses a tablet-based app to help traditional birth attendants improve management of high-risk pregnancies and make timely and potentially life-saving interventions. ALIMA launched a beta version of the app in October 2023 in the Central African Republic (CAR), where maternal mortality rates are among the highest globally and many women give birth at home. The pilot program showed better-than-expected adoption by birth attendants and has reached over 1,850 expectant mothers. ALIMA plans to scale use of the app to 23,000 women in CAR over the next three years, and will explore adapting the app for similar interventions in Chad, Mali, Mauritania, and Guinea.
"Mothers across Sub-Saharan Africa do not have affordable or accessible care, putting them in grave danger," said Charlie Kunzer, executive director of ALIMA USA. "For 15 years, ALIMA has worked to reach women in remote and crisis contexts, screen for health complications, and provide complete perinatal care. But the region's maternal health crisis won't be solved through treatment alone; we must do more to build fundamental capacity. That's why ALIMA invests in programs like Wakobo-Ti-Kodro, which uses technology to bring medical screenings to scale at a community level."
Ode to Strangers features generations of mothers from four corners of the world sharing crisis moments when a stranger's actions changed the course of their lives. ALIMA collected the stories to inspire more people to help mothers in crisis today. The series debuts with four incredible stories and two haunting films, vividly illustrated and animated.
A Vietnamese refugee struggling in childbirth amidst a tropical storm, saved by an unnamed woman; an Iranian mother fleeing the country, reunited with her daughters thanks to a kind train conductor; a mother in Brazil nearly loses her child to a choking accident but the girl is rescued by a helpful bystander; a mom in Cameroon and two of her newborn triplets are saved when a kind villager alerts an ALIMA-run hospital. Spanning generations and continents, each story spotlights a challenge sub-Saharan mothers face today, from medical deserts to forced migration. Each ends with a reminder: You don't need to be there to be there. You can be a stranger who cares.
Ode to Strangers was created by award-winning marketing agency Nazar Works. "People today are hyper-aware of global crises to the point of overwhelm, but there's a lack of hope around our ability to make things better. We created Ode to Strangers to re-instill the belief that compassion is a superpower each of us can activate," said Neda Azarfar, managing director of Nazar Works. "By sharing stories of transformative kindness, we aim to reignite a collective hope and prompt everyday people to tap into their power to change–maybe not the world–but a single story."
The series was directed and produced by Malu Lara, illustrated by Rohan Eason, animated by Motionauts, and includes original music composition and sound design from MassiveMusic.

Air India flight diverts to Nunavut airport after online security threat
An Air India flight, en route from Delhi to Chicago, was diverted to Iqaluit International airport in Nunavut Tuesday morning following an online security threat.
Two giant pandas from China have landed in Washington, marking the first time the U.S. capital has welcomed a new set of furry diplomats from Beijing in 24 years.
The FedEx cargo plane dubbed “Panda Express,” carrying Bao Li and Qing Bao, both 3 years old, landed at Washington Dulles Airport at 9:53 a.m. Tuesday.
Amid tight security and heavy media coverage, two large metal boxes with the precious cargo were carefully lowered from the belly of the jet on a scissor lift and ferried to the terminal.
From there, the two pandas will head to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, where they will remain on loan for 10 years, with an annual fee of US$1 million to support conservation efforts in China.
The Smithsonian’s previous pair of pandas returned to China with their cub last November when their lease expired. Their departure triggered a flood of tearful goodbyes and left the zoo’s panda exhibit empty for 11 months.
China’s renewed panda diplomacy with the U.S. is a rare bright spot in the fraught relations between the world’s two superpower rivals – which have been marred by tensions over trade, technology, geopolitics and more.
While born in China’s southwestern province of Sichuan, Bao Li has deep familial roots in Washington. His mother, Bao Bao, was born a celebrity at the National Zoo in 2013 and returned to China four years later. His grandparents, Meixiang and Tian Tian, lived at the zoo for 23 years until their lease ended last year.
“Bao Li has a huge personality. He reminds me a lot of his grandfather, Tian Tian,” said Mariel Lally, a panda keeper from the National Zoo who accompanied Bao Li and Qing Bao on the flight to Washington.
Lally spent the past 10 days getting to know the two pandas at a research base in Dujiangyan, a city nestled in the lush green mountains near the bears’ native habitat. And she could already see distinct characteristics about them that will charm a new generation of visitors.
Fans are already obsessed with Bao Li’s family history, she said. “But when people see his personality, they’re gonna go crazy. He’s energetic, he’s all about people, he’s just a lot of fun.”
Qing Bao, meanwhile, is the polar opposite and something of an introvert. She can often be found sleeping on her climbing structure or chilling in a tree, but she’s very alert when active.

“She’s very reserved,” Lally said. “She doesn’t always come when called because she would rather do her own thing. So, she’s a bit more independent than Bao Li.”
“She’s also a pretty tiny little bear, so people probably are really gonna love how petite she is,” she added.
The Smithsonian’s National Zoo was the first in the U.S. to exhibit the rare, cuddly animals as part of China’s “panda diplomacy” – a decades-long strategic tool to win partners, build goodwill and showcase soft power.
It all began with U.S. President Richard Nixon’s ice-breaking trip to Communist China during the Cold War. During that historic visit in 1972, first lady Pat Nixon was reportedly charmed by the pandas at the Beijing Zoo.
Weeks later, a pair of pandas, Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing, arrived at the National Zoo in Washington.
On their first day of public display, the two pandas drew a reported 20,000 visitors. Since then, giant pandas have become the zoo’s star attraction, drawing millions of visitors.
The zoo’s 24-hour Giant Panda Cam has garnered more than 100 million page views since its launch in 2000.
It went offline last November, when Mei Xiang, Tian Tian and their youngest cub Xiao Qi Ji left for China. And for the first time in 23 years, the giant panda exhibit at the National Zoo had become empty.
Much preparation was made for Bao Li and Qing Bao’s big journey across the Pacific Ocean.
A delegation from the Washington zoo came to the Chinese province of Sichuan to help with the transition.
Bao Li and Qing Bao were taken off public display and placed in quarantine on September 13, in a fenced-off zone away from the crowds of tourists.
Ren Zhijun, a Chinese keeper who has been caring for the two bears in quarantine noticed a big difference in their appetite. Bao Li, who loves bamboo shoots, can eat twice as much bamboo as Qing Bao, who counts carrots and apples as her favourite food.

Bao Li and Qing Bao spent their last few days in Dujiangyan spending time in their shipping crates, getting trained for their first long-haul flight.
The crates are built in a way that allows the keepers to pass bamboo, bamboo shoots, fruits and fresh water to the bears on the flight.
Before their departure from the Dujiangyan base, Bao Li appeared calm and composed as he slowly paced around the crate, while Qing Bao was more restless. She stood up and stuck her snout and paws out through the bars as her crate was forklifted onto the truck.
During a sendoff ceremony earlier on Monday near the base, the Washington zoo’s director, Brandie Smith, hailed half a century of collaboration between the Smithsonian and its Chinese partners on panda conservation.
“These beloved black and white bears are icons in Washington D.C., and adored around the world,” Smith said. “Our team and legions of fans look forward to welcoming Bao Li and Qing Bao to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo.”
An Air India flight, en route from Delhi to Chicago, was diverted to Iqaluit International airport in Nunavut Tuesday morning following an online security threat.
The chances of a half-percentage point interest rate cut by the Bank of Canada became more likely Tuesday after Statistics Canada reported the annual inflation rate fell to 1.6 per cent in September.
It will feel more like winter for some parts of Eastern Canada over the next few days, with single-digit highs and snow in the forecast.
Canada is listing the pro-Palestinian group Samidoun as a terrorist group, while the U.S. has added a Canadian citizen affiliated with the organization to its counter-terrorism list.

Bangladesh suspend head coach Hathurusingha on accounts of misconduct, says report
Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha has been suspended on disciplinary grounds for 48 hours by the country's cricket board (BCB) and will be sacked soon after, a report from ESPNCricinfo said on Tuesday.
Former West Indies head coach Phil Simmons will take charge on an interim basis until next year's Champions Trophy, the report added.
"Hathurusingha has two counts of misconduct," BCB president Faruque Ahmed was quoted as saying. "First is about an assault on a player. Secondly, he took too many leaves, more than what was in his contract."
Hathurusingha, who coached Bangladesh from 2014-2017, returned for his second stint in January last year but Ahmed questioned BCB's decision to re-appoint the 56-year-old.
Ahmed took charge of the BCB in August following Nazmul Hasan Papon's resignation amid political upheaval in the country and said Hathurusingha should not continue as head coach.
Under Hathurusingha, Bangladesh failed to get past the group stage in the last two white-ball World Cups but registered a historic 2-0 test series win over Pakistan in September - their first overseas series victory in the format in 15 years.
However, India then whitewashed Bangladesh at home in a two-match test series and secured a clean sweep against captain Najmul Hossain Shanto's side in a three-match Twenty20 international series last week.

All there is to know about NCIS Origins' Randy star Caleb Foote
NCIS Origins fans are keen to know more about the cast, including actor Caleb Foote who plays Special Agent Benjamin "Randy" Randolph in the CBS series
Watch the trailer for NCIS: Origins
NCIS Origins has finally arrived, and fans are buzzing with excitement to delve into the cast, particularly Caleb Foote who stars as Special Agent Benjamin "Randy" Randolph.
The much-anticipated CBS prequel is set to give die-hard followers of the original series a glimpse into the early days of Agent Gibbs (portrayed by Mark Harmon), revealing more about his backstory.
Set in 1991, the show introduces us to a young Gibbs (played by Austin Stowell) as he embarks on his journey with NCIS.
He's quickly acquainted with Agent Randy (Caleb Foote), the agency's charismatic "all too lovable golden boy".
As a father of twins, Randy takes on the role of mentor to Gibbs, and now the spotlight turns to Caleb Foote, the actor bringing this character to life.
Early Career
Caleb Foote, who steps into the shoes of Special Agent Randy, is relatively new to the screen with acting credits starting from 2017, although he's no stranger to the stage.
His performance in Hand To God earned him the San Diego Theatre Critics Circle 2017 Craig Noel Award for Outstanding Male Performance.
Foote's screen debut was a minor part in Grey's Anatomy, followed by roles such as Pus Bucket in the seventh season of American Horror Story and Eli in the second season of American Crime Story.
He gained recognition with his portrayal of Eddie Cleary in ABC's The Kids Are Alright.
In 2021, Foote was cast in Max's Made For Love as Bennett Hobbes, sharing the screen with Cristin Milioti, famed for her role as Tracy in How I Met Your Mother.
Love Life
News on Foote's personal life remains scarce, considering his fondness for keeping private matters away from the public eye. However, it's common knowledge that he's romantically involved at present.
In a heartwarming post last month, Foote shared a series of delightful snaps on Instagram featuring himself and his sweetheart Reagan Jobie enjoying a fishing adventure, alongside the caption: "Catch and release."
While Reagan Jobie prefers to keep her Instagram account out of the public gaze, her bio indicates she's a therapist based in Salt Lake County.
The backstory of their romance, such as the beginnings of their relationship or its duration, remain under wraps.
Breathing Life into Agent Randy
Gibbs and Agent Mike Franks are familiar faces to NCIS aficionados, but Randy is a fresh addition to the roster, and Foote gave TV Insider an insight into the thrill of bringing him to the small screen.
Foote enthused: "I have a wonderful opportunity to create a new character."
He lauded the collaboration with the show's team, which allowed him room for creative input, saying: "Our entire team has been so helpful in that everything from my character's wedding ring.
"They let me pick the wedding ring to the watch that I wear, and I have input in the costume and my pistol holster, and this scuff mark on it and the story behind that, and so it's just been...so cool to create this character that doesn't exist."
NCIS Origins continues every Monday on CBS.

Spotify snubs the US again in latest music video beta expansion
- Spotify is opening up its music videos beta program to 85 additional markets.
- The streaming service has also made a few improvements to the beta.
- The US is not one of the new markets.
You may remember Spotify rolled out a music video beta back in March for Premium subscribers. At the time, the test was only available to 11 markets, not including the US. The streaming company is now greatly expanding access to this beta, while also making a few improvements in the process.
Spotify has announced that it is starting to roll out its music videos beta in 85 additional regions. These markets join the original 11 and Egypt to bring the total number of supported countries to 97. In the blog post, the firm avoids specifying what countries are included in these 85 new markets, but it looks like the US has been skipped over once again. A Spotify spokesperson has told The Verge:
Music videos on Spotify are still in beta and we look forward to bringing it to even more users across more markets, including the US, in the future.
As before, the service is still limited to Premium subscribers. If you’re a paid user, however, you’ll be able to switch between audio and video on iOS, Android, desktop, and TVs.
On top of the expansion news, Spotify mentioned a few improvements to the beta. One such improvement makes switching from audio to video more seamless by having the video pick up from where you left off. Before this change, the video would start from the beginning if you switched over from audio.
The company has also added video indicators next to track names to make available videos easier to see in search results. And if you want to go full screen, you can now just turn your phone over to landscape mode.
The available catalog of music videos is still limited. However, Spotify has said it plans to expand its collection over time.

SC Collegium Recommends Elevation Of Four Judicial Officers As Kerala
HC Judges
Date
10/15/2024 12:15:11 PM
(MENAFN- IANS) New Delhi, Oct 15 (IANS) The Supreme Court Collegium, headed by Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud, on Tuesday recommended the appointment of four judicial officers as Kerala High Court Judges.
The recommendation for the appointment of judicial officers K.V. Jayakumar, Muralee Krishna S., Jobin Sebastian, and P.V. Balakrishnan as HC judges was made in May this year by the Chief Justice of the Kerala High Court in consultation with his two senior-most colleagues.
The SC Collegium said that it has consulted the apex court judges conversant with the affairs of the Kerala High Court to ascertain the fitness and suitability of these candidates.
Jayakumar, who joined the judicial service in December 2012, has been working as Registrar (Vigilance) in the High Court since January 2022, said the SC Collegium, adding that "inputs provided by the Department of Justice in the file indicate that the candidate enjoys a good personal and professional image and that nothing adverse has come to notice against his integrity".
Krishna S, who joined the judicial service in March 2014, served in various capacities in the state. "The inputs provided by the Department of Justice in the file indicate that the candidate enjoys a good personal and professional image and that nothing adverse has come to notice against his integrity," said the SC Collegium.
Sebastian joined the judicial service in March 2014 and has been working as Registrar (District Judiciary) in the Kerala High Court since April 2024. The SC Collegium said,“Two out of the three consultee-Judges have found the candidate suitable for appointment as a Judge of the High Court. The third consultee-Judge has not offered his comments upon the suitability of the candidate since the candidate is personally not known to him. However, the consultee-judge has stated that he does not have any negative information about the candidate."
Balakrishnan joined the judicial service in March 2014 and served in various capacities in the state. "The Collegium, therefore, resolves that the four Judicial Officers whose names are recommended above shall rank, in the appointment order, below Shri P. Krishna Kumar and their inter se seniority shall be fixed in that order," read the statement uploaded on the website of the apex court.
Further, it said that the Chief Minister and the Governor of Kerala concurred with the recommendation.

The Public Health Agency of Canada says a Listeria outbreak linked to several plant-based milks appears to be over with no additional cases reported since August.
The federal agency says its investigation is now complete and Listeria was found within the production environment of Silk and Great Value plant-based refrigerated beverages.
However, PHAC says it was not able to identify the “primary site” of the contamination within that environment and that production will remain paused until the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is satisfied with renovations to the facility.
The CFIA previously stated that the source of the illness was traced to a specific production line at Joriki, a third-party facility in Pickering, Ont., used by plant milk manufacturer Danone Canada.
The last tally of cases reported on Aug. 12 remains unchanged, with 20 confirmed infections in Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Alberta, and three deaths.
The illnesses prompted a national recall of several Silk and Great Value plant-based milk products on July 8 with Oct. 4 as the latest best before date.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 15, 2024.

ITV Emmerdale fans predict dark twist for villager as Ross Barton's return plot 'exposed'
Emmerdale fans reckon they have worked out the reason Ross Barton is returning to the Dales after six years away and it could spell bad news for one villager.
Emmerdale: Jade speaks to Billy outside his home
Emmerdale fans believe they've uncovered Ross Barton's return plot after identifying a possible connection to another resident.
The ITV soap confirmed last month that the notorious Ross (played by Michael Parr) is set to return to the well-known village six years after his departure. Michael first appeared on the popular ITV soap in 2013 and was recognised for his stormy relationships with characters like Debbie Dingle (portrayed by Charley Webb).
In 2018, Ross left the village alongside Rebecca White (Emily Head) and her son, Sebastian White, to start afresh in Liverpool. Ross has frequently been referenced off-screen due to his son Moses with Charity (Emma Atkins).
However, Ross is now heading back to the village, as teased by the ITV soap: "With old wounds still to heal, his presence in the village is likely to stir up feelings and ignite some new rivalries."
Meanwhile, Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) has been participating in underground boxing to earn quick money, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Emmerdale fans 'work out' Debbie Dingle return after devastating death [LATEST]
A shady match left Billy severely injured, requiring medical help from local paramedic John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth), called upon by concerned friend Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb).
Mackenzie cautioned Billy that he was "digging himself a hole" with all the deceit towards Dawn (Olivia Bromley), and hinted he could end up being more injured if he continued.
While Billy was contemplating retiring his boxing gloves, promoter Jade (Twinnie-Lee Moore) made an unexpected visit and urged him to participate in more fights.
Later, Billy and Dawn were seen grappling with their financial struggles as their infant son faces a battle with leukaemia. With their finances falling short for the mounting bills, Billy found himself cornered into rejoining Jade's boxing enterprise.
Intriguingly, Billy was overheard on the phone asking, "What was that you said about an offer I can't refuse?" while Dawn remained oblivious to her spouse's clandestine efforts to earn cash.
Billy's risky move has set tongues wagging among Emmerdale enthusiasts who speculate his next rival in the ring could be Ross Barton, Dawn's ex-flame.
An avid Emmerdale viewer speculated on Facebook: "Just had a thought, Ross Barton left Emmerdale and in real life started a fighting career, Billy in Emmerdale now is currently fighting for money in secret. I reckon maybe the Ross Barton come back storyline is that he ends up being one of Billy's opponents?"
Another fan responded: "You could be on to something here," and a third added: "Good theory. Will we get to see him semi-naked?"
Highlighting the romantic entanglement, a viewer remarked: "I like it...also an ex of Billy's missus Dawn."
Meanwhile, another fan recalled: "Ross used to do the bare-knuckle fighting too. I'm sure Aaron and Pete stopped him once."
Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7:30pm on ITV and ITVX

Investors are always looking for stocks that are poised to beat at earnings season and Abbott Laboratories ABT may be one such company. The firm has earnings coming up pretty soon, and events are shaping up quite nicely for their report.
That is because Abbott is seeing favorable earnings estimate revision activity as of late, which is generally a precursor to an earnings beat. After all, analysts raising estimates right before earnings — with the most up-to-date information possible — is a pretty good indicator of some favorable trends underneath the surface for ABT in this report.
In fact, the Most Accurate Estimate for the current quarter is currently higher than the broader Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.20 per share. This suggests that analysts have very recently bumped up their estimates for ABT, giving the stock a Zacks Earnings ESP of +0.18% heading into earnings season.
Abbott Laboratories Price and EPS Surprise
Abbott Laboratories price-eps-surprise | Abbott Laboratories Quote
Why is this Important?
A positive reading for the Zacks Earnings ESP has proven to be very powerful in producing both positive surprises, and outperforming the market. Our recent 10-year backtest shows that stocks that have a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better show a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and have returned over 28% on average in annual returns (see more Top Earnings ESP stocks here).
Given that ABT has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and an ESP in positive territory, investors might want to consider this stock ahead of earnings. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Clearly, recent earnings estimate revisions suggest that good things are ahead for Abbott, and that a beat might be in the cards for the upcoming report.

A massive push to rebuild the crumbling U.S. infrastructure will soon be underway. It’s bipartisan, urgent, and inevitable. Trillions will be spent. Fortunes will be made.

Leverkusen's Wirtz suffers ankle injury
Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz sustained a capsular injury to his right ankle while on international duty with Germany, the Bundesliga club confirmed on Tuesday.
Wirtz suffered the injury during Germany's 1-0 home victory over the Netherlands in their Nations League Group A3 match on Monday, where he was substituted by Leverkusen teammate Robert Andrich late in the first half. The win secured the Germans a spot in the quarter-finals.
The 21-year-old underwent an MRI scan on Tuesday and is receiving treatment at Leverkusen, the club said. It is unclear when Wirtz will return to training, leaving him doubtful for Saturday's Bundesliga match against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Champions Leverkusen are fifth in the league standings on 11 points from six games, three points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
Xabi Alonso's side visit French side Brest in the Champions League four days after hosting Frankfurt.

Canada and U.S. list Samidoun as terrorist group, U.S. adds Canadian to terror list
Canada is listing the pro-Palestinian group Samidoun as a terrorist group, while the U.S. has added a Canadian citizen affiliated with the organization to its counter-terrorism list.
Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc says Samidoun will now be listed under Criminal Code offences that ban people from donating or providing property to the group.
Samidoun is also known as the Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, and Ottawa says it "has close links with and advances the interests of" another group that Canada already lists as a terrorist entity, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
The U.S. Treasury Department is also listing Canadian citizen Khaled Barakat as an affiliate of a terrorist group, saying he is part of the Popular Front's leadership and fundraising.
American officials list Samidoun as being headquartered in Vancouver, and they say the group is masquerading as a humanitarian support charity that actually supports terrorism against Israel.
Samidoun did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Conservatives called last week for Samidoun to be listed as a terrorist entity, accusing the group of organizing several rallies in Canada where participants openly called for the destruction of Israel.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 15, 2024.

opinion Don Martin: Gusher of Liberal spending won't put out the fire in this dumpster
A Hail Mary rehash of the greatest hits from the Trudeau government’s three-week travelling pony-show, the 2024 federal budget takes aim at reversing the party’s popularity plunge in the under-40 set, writes political columnist Don Martin. But will it work before the next election?

ITV Emmerdale's first Dingle family member now after landing huge rival soap role
Emmerdale's Dingle family will be left devastated on Tuesday night as they learn that Zak Dingle has died, but fans may remember when the first-ever Dingle member appeared on the soap
The Dingle family on Emmerdale is bracing for a devastating blow on Tuesday evening as they learn of the death of their patriarch, Zak Dingle.
Steve Halliwell, who played Zak, sadly passed away last December at 77-years-old. The actor had been portraying the iconic Zak since 1994 and quickly won over the hearts of viewers.
In light of Steve's passing, the soap's creators have woven in a death storyline for the cherished actor and character, which will see the unexpected return of a long-lost relative at his funeral.
As the Dingles take centre stage in the ITV soap, audiences may find themselves reminiscing about past characters from the show. Longstanding fans might remember that Ben Dingle, portrayed by Steve Fury now Steve Jackson, was the first member of the Dingle family to make an appearance on Emmerdale on August 9, 1994.
Ben was one of Zak's children, alongside Nathan, Butch, Cain, Sam, Tina and Belle. Zak fathered Nathan, Butch, Ben, Sam, and Tina with his first wife, Nellie Dingle, reports Leeds Live. He had Cain with Faith Dingle and later welcomed Belle with Lisa Dingle.
Despite being the inaugural Dingle to feature on Emmerdale, Ben's stint was brief as he only featured in one episode. Ben tragically died due to a heart defect following a brawl with Luke McAllister and Joe Sugden on the ITV soap.
Emmerdale marked the significant moment in its history back in August 2020, with the show's official Facebook page reminiscing: "ON THIS DAY IN #Emmerdale 9th August 1994 (ep 1893) Ben Dingle dies of a heart defect after a fight with Luke McAllister and Joe Sugden. This is the first appearance of a Dingle in Emmerdale!"
Although his time on Emmerdale was brief, actor Steve has since graced several hit TV series, including a stint on another ITV soap. After his role in Emmerdale, Steve featured in The Cops for 16 episodes as Mike in 1998, followed by a part in Clocking Off in 2000, playing Barry Sleight across eight episodes.
Steve then landed the part of Trevor Dean in Coronation Street, where he appeared from 2010 to 2011. More recently, he portrayed Kevin Wilson in Ackley Bridge from 2017 to 2019 and took on the character of Jeremy Sharpe in All Creatures Great and Small in 2020.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.

Canada spat leads India newspapers as trade minister works to reassure business
As Canada's decision to expel New Delhi's top envoy and five other diplomats makes front page news in India, International Trade Minister Mary Ng is trying to reassure Canadian businesses with ties to the country.
On Monday, the RCMP warned the public about a rash of crimes including murder, extortion and coercion that the force links to Indian government agents. The allegations sparked diplomatic retaliation; after Canada declared six Indian diplomats persona non grata, India ordered six Canadian envoys out of the country by Saturday.
Ng issued a statement acknowledging the "uncertainty" that Canadian businesses and investors may have as a result, and said the government will continue to support commercial and economic ties between the countries.
"However, we must consider our economic interests with the need to protect Canadians and uphold the rule of law," she said. "We will not tolerate any foreign government threatening, extorting or harming Canadian citizens on our soil."
Ng said the government remains "open to a dialogue" with India and looks forward to continuing a "valued relationship."
The RCMP and other Canadian officials presented evidence to India earlier this past weekend, but they say New Delhi refused to co-operate in police investigations.
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said that is why Canada declared the six diplomats persona non grata, which is one of the stiffest penalties Canada can impose under the Vienna Convention.
India insists it has not been given evidence of any government involvement in crimes in Canada, and it has ordered six Canadian diplomats to leave.
Vina Nadjibulla, research vice-president for the Asia Pacific Foundation, said she's watching to see how Canada's peers respond to the "unprecedented, extraordinary" news.
That could mean diplomatic moves behind the scenes, and possibly public statements of support for Canada.
"The reaction from the U.S. is going to be the one that everybody will be paying attention to," she said.
"In order for Canada, at this stage, to have any kind of co-operation from India and seek accountability for what has happened, we would need India to feel some pressure; we would need India to feel some reason to co-operate."
Nadjibulla said it was notable that Joly accused active diplomats of involvement in criminality, and that she said violence linked to the Indian government had only increased since Canada made its concerns public last year.
In September 2023, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that Canadian intelligence services were investigating "credible" information about "a potential link" between India's government and the killing of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia.
Nadjibulla said Ottawa has now "very clearly and assertively" made its case, in sending senior officials this past weekend to present evidence to Indian counterparts.
"Canada did what it thought was necessary," she said. "We are in uncharted territory, with implications for the diplomatic relationship as well as for Canada's public safety and national security."
Nadjibulla also said it's rare for diplomats to be expelled over accusations of criminality. "We're not dealing here with a rogue state; we're dealing here with a very important international player," she said.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 15, 2024.

Mane seals Senegal finals place but Ghana face uphill battle
A 96th-minute winner from Sadio Mane earned Senegal a 1-0 win over Malawi and a place at the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Morocco next year, but Ghana are in serious danger of missing out after a surprise loss to Sudan on Tuesday.
Senegal had 30 attempts at goal against their hosts but it took until the final seconds for Mane to seal victory with a 25-yard free-kick that curled around the wall and into the bottom corner of the net.
The 2021 winners, who recently parted ways with long-time coach Aliou Cisse, join Burkina Faso as the qualified nations from Group L in the 24-team finals with two more matches to play in the November international window.
Ghana slumped to a 2-0 loss against Sudan in neutral Libya as Ahmed Al-Tash and Mohamed Abdel Rahman scored within three minutes of each other in the second half.
Ghana look set to miss a first continental finals since 2004 having managed a paltry two points from their four games, five adrift of the qualification positions with a difficult trip to pool leaders Angola next up.
Democratic Republic of Congo qualified following a 2-0 victory in Tanzania as Meschack Elia scored a brace, his first in the 88th minute and the second deep into stoppage time. They have a full haul of 12 points from their four games.
Coach Avram Grant’s Zambia claimed an important 1-0 win over Chad to take a big step towards qualification thanks to Kennedy Musonda’s goal 20 minutes from the end.
Gabon are also on course after a 2-0 win over Lesotho in neutral Durban, with Shavy Babicka and Rody Effaghe grabbing goals in the second half.
Uganda beat South Sudan 2-1 in Juba and their qualification will be confirmed later on Tuesday if South Africa win in the Congo.
Hosts Morocco, Cameroon and Algeria are the other teams already in the finals line-up.

ITV Tipping Point fans issue same complaint as they blast player's 'cringe' decision
Tipping Point presenter Ben Shephard welcomed three new contestants onto the ITV quiz show, but fans all had the same complaint.
Tipping Point fans rushed to complain as they tuned into the latest instalment of the ITV quiz show. Ben Shephard returned to host Tuesday's edition of the programme, welcoming Joe, Sheril and Richard.
The trio went head-to-head in the hopes of becoming the person lucky enough to play for the jackpot counter, worth a huge £10,000. Early on in the game, Joe was congratulated by his co-stars after he managed to get nine counters across the tipping point.
Shortly after, Sheril repeatedly said "well done" after Richard buzzed in with the correct answer before Ben had finished answering the question.
While the three contestants appeared to support each other throughout the game, viewers questioned this as they took to social media to complain.

"Why do contestants wooo and wheeey while watching other contestants win untold counters on #TippingPoint," asked one fan. Another replied: "Because they're pretending to look gracious. They rarely sound genuine."
A third declared: "I agree. I find it cringing." Also claiming it as disingenuous, another said: "They're cursing inside really."
After using up all of his counters, Joe revealed he didn't want to take anymore risks and bowed out of the game early. Deciding not to use another three counters for the jackpot, Joe said: "I think I've run out of luck."

Explaining the reason behind his decision, Joe told Ben that he couldn't play for the £10k as it could potentially lose him everything if things didn't go his way.
Joe revealed that he was hoping to put the money towards his wedding ceremony after his original plans to tie the knot with his partner were postponed during the Covid-19 pandemic.
He also wanted to use the money to take his partner and newborn son on holiday, ultimately deciding to keep the £3,550 that he earned up until that point.
It turned out to be the right decision as the three extra counters wouldn't have been enough to push the jackpot counter over the tipping point.

Air India flight diverts to Nunavut airport after online security threat
An Air India flight, en route from Delhi to Chicago, was diverted to Iqaluit International airport in Nunavut Tuesday morning following an online security threat.
The artificial intelligence boom has benefited chatbot makers, computer scientists and Nvidia investors. It's also providing an unusual windfall for Anguilla, a tiny island in the Caribbean.
ChatGPT's debut nearly two years ago heralded the dawn of the AI age and kicked off a digital gold rush as companies scrambled to stake their own claims by acquiring websites that end in .ai.
That's where Anguilla comes in. The British territory was allotted control of the .ai internet address in the 1990s. It was one of hundreds of obscure top-level domains assigned to individual countries and territories based on their names. While the domains are supposed to indicate a website has a link to a particular region or language, it's not always a requirement.
Google uses google.ai to showcase its artificial intelligence services while Elon Musk uses x.ai as the homepage for his Grok AI chatbot. Startups like AI search engine Perplexity have also snapped up .ai web addresses, redirecting users from the .com version.
Anguilla's earnings from web domain registration fees quadrupled last year to US$32 million, fueled by the surging interest in AI. The income now accounts for about 20 per cent of Anguilla's total government revenue. Before the AI boom, it hovered at around 5 per cent.
Anguilla's government, which uses the gov.ai home page, collects a fee every time a .ai web address is renewed, Identity Digital Chief Strategy Officer Ram Mohan said the fee -- US$140 for two years -- won't change. The national is also paid when new addresses are registered and expired ones are sold off. Some sites have fetched tens of thousands of dollars.
The money directly boosts the economy of Anguilla, which is just 35 square miles (91 square kilometres) and has a population of about 16,000. Blessed with coral reefs, clear waters and palm-fringed white sand beaches, the island is a haven for uber-wealthy tourists. Still, many residents are underprivileged and tourism has been battered by the pandemic and, before that, a powerful hurricane.
Anguilla doesn't have its own AI industry though Premier Ellis Webster hopes that one day it will become an hub for the technology. He said it was just luck that it was Anguilla, and not nearby Antigua, that was assigned the .ai domain in 1995 because both places had those letters in their names.
Webster said the money takes the pressure off government finances and helps fund key projects, but cautioned that "we can't rely on it solely."
"You can't predict how long this is going to last," Webster said in an interview with the AP. "And so I don't want to have our economy and our country and all our programs just based on this. And then all of a sudden there's a new fad comes up in the next year or two, and then we are left now having to make significant expenditure cuts, removing programs."
To help keep up with the explosive growth in domain registrations, Anguilla said Tuesday it's signing a deal with a U.S.-based domain management company, Identity Digital, to help manage the effort. They said the agreement will mean more revenue for the government while improving the resilience and security of the web addresses.
Identity Digital, which also manages Australia's .au domain, expects to migrate all .ai domain services to its systems by the start of next year, Mohan said in an interview.
A local software entrepreneur had previously helped Anguilla set up its registry system decades earlier.
There are now more than 533,000 .ai web domains, an increase of more than 10-fold since 2018. The International Monetary Fund said in a May report that the earnings will help diversify the economy, "thus making it more resilient to external shocks.
Webster expects domain-related revenues to rise further, and could even double this year from last year's US$32 million.
He said the money will finance the airport's expansion, free medical care for senior citizens and completion of a vocational technology training center at Anguilla's high school.
The income also provides "budget support" for other projects the government is developing, such as a national development fund that can be used to help the nation recover from hurricanes. The island currently relies on assistance from their colonial master Britain, which imposes conditions, Webster said.
Mohan said working with Identity Digital will also defend against cyber crooks trying to take advantage of the hype around artificial intelligence.
He cited the example of Tokelau, an island in the Pacific Ocean, whose .tk addresses became notoriously associated with spam and phishing after outsourcing its registry services.
"We worry about bad actors taking something, sticking a .ai to it, and then making it sound like they are much bigger or much better than what they really are," Mohan said, adding that the company's technology will quickly take down shady sites.
Another benefit is .AI websites will no longer need to connect to the government's digital infrastructure through a single internet cable to the island, which leaves them vulnerable to digital bottlenecks or physical disruptions.
Now they'll use the company's servers distributed globally, which means it will be faster to access them because they'll be closer to users.
"It goes from milliseconds to microseconds," Mohan said.

Canada is listing the pro-Palestinian group Samidoun as a terrorist group, while the U.S. has added a Canadian citizen affiliated with the organization to its counter-terrorism list.

Comprehensive AI Intake Solution Enables DME Suppliers to Automatically Digitize Fax-Based Orders, Reducing Administrative Burden and Improving Documentation Accuracy
NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Parachute Health, the platform empowering clinicians with simple DME/HME ordering, is announcing its powerful AI Intake solution to enhance business operations for DME/HME suppliers and to improve patient care. Parachute health is including its comprehensive AI Intake solution in its platform for existing customers and new customers who sign up this year.

After paper orders are digitized through the Parachute Health's AI Intake solution, they are automatically reviewed and analyzed.
The new AI Intake solution from Parachute Health enables medical equipment suppliers to automatically digitize paper-based DME orders received from clinicians so that suppliers can better verify that documentation is complete and review qualification criteria. This workflow significantly reduces the time required to process fax/eFax orders and ensures suppliers are promptly paid for the life-saving products they provide to patients.
Parachute Health pioneered DME ePrescribing when it launched in 2016 and is now the clear industry leader, processing DME orders for over five million patients across the US. Even as the industry continues to rapidly transition to digital ordering, Parachute Health's new AI Intake solution fills a critical need now as a majority of DME orders nationwide are still processed through legacy paper and fax/eFax-based systems. The new Parachute Health AI Intake solution leverages advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms to automatically digitize the language that appears on the paper-based DME orders into the comprehensive Parachute Platform to process orders quickly while complying with HIPAA guidelines and strict data security policies.
After paper orders are digitized through the Parachute Health's AI Intake solution, they are then automatically reviewed and analyzed based on Parachute Health's proprietary and real-time clinical intelligence database. This new solution powers suppliers to review and confirm whether orders comply with payor-specific rules and guidelines before claims are submitted for payment. By eliminating the arduous back-and-forth process of manually identifying and correcting errors in paper-based orders, Parachute Health's AI Intake solution reduces the administrative burden that DME suppliers and clinicians endure while ensuring patients quickly get the medical equipment and supplies they need.
"We set out to eliminate the need for a fax machine in DME ordering and we're well on the way to do that but the reality is that the transition to digital ordering is still ongoing. The launch of our transformative AI Intake solution means that even paper orders can now be automatically processed through the Parachute Platform quickly and easily," said David Gelbard, CEO of Parachute Health. "We've been at this a long time and are excited to offer this new tool to our network of thousands of supplier locations and providers. Parachute Health now brings even more value to suppliers while also helping them progress along their digital transformation journeys."
Parachute Health is already a trusted partner of more than 3,000+ medical equipment supplier locations, 220,000 clinicians, and over five million patients as it continues to innovate to help the industry improve. To learn more about Parachute Health's transformative AI Intake and ePrescribing solution, please visit or contact [email protected] .
About Parachute Health:
Parachute Health is a leading provider of technology solutions designed to solve challenges across the DME/HME industry. With a mission to liberate providers from overly complex processes and administrative burdens, Parachute Health's open platform approach empowers providers to focus on patient care and powers suppliers to optimize their business. Payors, patients, and manufacturers all win by gaining transparency to manage the complexity of DME.

Jenson Button tells McLaren how to use Oscar Piastri to help Lando Norris beat Verstappen
Jenson Button has urged McLaren to change their approach to help Lando Norris.
Jenson Button believes McLaren need to start using team orders to give Lando Norris the best chance of winning this year's Drivers' Championship title. The young Brit can still beat Max Verstappen but will need everything to go his way between now and the end of the season.
It will require one of the greatest comebacks in F1 history, with Verstappen leading Norris by 52 points with just six races left on the calendar. Button believes it is still possible for Norris to win, but only if McLaren favour him over Oscar Piastri by using team orders.
Speaking on the Sky Sports F1 podcast, Button said: "If you want to win a world championship, you need to favour one driver, especially at this point in the championship where every single point counts right now.
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. Read our Privacy Policy
"If Lando has any opportunity of becoming a world champion, he needs every single point. That's even using Oscar to grab the fastest lap if Max has got it. It's a really tricky situation for drivers and teams but it's got to happen.
"That's the reason why Ferrari won so many world championships with Michael Schumacher and, in a way, it was why [Sebastian] Vettel was able to win so many championships [at Red Bull].
"I think sometimes you've got to bite the bullet and favour one driver, especially at this point in the season. Oscar has done an amazing job this year but Lando has more points. If the team want to win, that is what is going to have to happen."
McLaren have consistently refused to favour one driver over the course of this season. Their approach was criticised at the Italian Grand Prix, where a heated battle involving Norris and Piastri opened the door for Charles Leclerc to take advantage and win.

Last month, team principal Andrea Stella suggested that McLaren would start prioritising Norris over Piastri but insisted that any decisions would only be made in the best interests of the team.
"We acknowledged with Lando and Oscar that Lando is in the most favourable position, so if we want to give it a go, we should try and support Lando," said Stella.
"We will do this when it is necessary. In those 50-50 calls, they will more naturally end up in Lando's territory and by doing so, see if we can make this quest in the Drivers' Championship even more realistic. Then we will reassess in a couple of races and see where we are.
"For me, the right way is looking at what our values are. The team interest comes first, then we also want to be sportsmanlike. Fairness to both drivers and cohesion as we move into the future is important for us."

The PGA of America is facing backlash and accusations of pricing out fans, with a single day ticket for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York, costing just under US$750.
Golf fans can attempt to purchase tickets by entering the event’s Random Selection.
If successfully selected for an opportunity to buy a ticket, entry to any of the Cup’s three competition days will set you back $749.51 per person.
Prices for practice days earlier in the week start at US$255.27.
These “Ryder Cup+” tickets give attendees “access to unlimited food and non-alcoholic beverages at all market concessions throughout the grounds and no extra cost,” according to the Ryder Cup website. For comparison, a similar package in the first round of next year’s PGA Championship is currently available for US$219.
Meanwhile, general admission tickets for the 2023 edition of the Ryder Cup at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club near Rome were between €50 (US$52.97) and €60 (US$63.56) for the practice days, €250 (US$264.83) for Friday and Saturday tickets and €260 (US$275.42) for Sunday.
The PGA of America has received criticism online for the steep prices.
“I would like to go on the record now and say that if Europe wins the Ryder Cup at Bethpage because the crowds were turned into a polite snooze fest like LACC (Los Angeles Country Club) by the insane ticket prices, it’s going to go down as a massive own goal,” golf journalist Kevin Van Valkenburg wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“I need to sign a LIV deal so I can afford Ryder Cup tickets,” joked GOLF.com’s Claire Rogers.
The prices have also not gone down well with fans.
“What are better things to do with your money than pay this amount for Ryder Cup Tickets? Seriously, the Ryder Cup is not good from a spectator’s standpoint. I guess even the Ryder Cup is not immune from inflation,” one user posted on X.
“This is going to be 90 per cent corporate buyers. Nobody normal is paying US$800 for a Ryder cup ticket,” added another.
CNN has reached out to the PGA of America for comment.
The Ryder Cup is held every two years and pits Europe and the USA against each other as two teams made up of the biggest names in men’s golf clash for the chance to earn bragging rights in an iconic rivalry.
Team Europe is the reigning champion after it held off a late comeback from the Americans to win 16.5 - 11.5 in Rome, Italy, last year.

Inside Chelsea's weekly board meetings where Behdad Eghbali and Todd Boehly dial in
Behdad Eghbali and Todd Boehly are involved in Chelsea's weekly board meetings with the club's sporting directors.
Chelsea co-owners Behdad Eghbali and Todd Boehly are able to ask key questions of sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley in a crunch weekly meeting. Eghbali, Boehly and fellow BlueCo investor Jose E. Feliciano are given regular briefings on the club’s sporting operation.
The Blues have enjoyed an excellent start to the season under new head coach Enzo Maresca. The Italian’s side are unbeaten in six Premier League matches and sit fourth in the table.
But there remains turbulence at board level where friction is reported to have developed between Eghbali and Boehly. Back in September, it was claimed that the key figureheads of the Chelsea hierarchy were willing to buy each other out following differences in their preferred approaches.
Both men remain well versed in the improvement in the sporting operation, though. Co-sporting director Stewart has revealed that they are part of a weekly call where the owners can ask questions about Chelsea's on-field development.
“We have regular weekly contact, where we’ll be updating them across all the topics,” he told the Telegraph of the sporting director’s relationship with Chelsea’s owners.
“And they might have specific questions, specific things and that can be game-related, result-related or general. We have regular communication with them.”
Eghbali and Boehly appointed Maresca as Chelsea’s new head coach after parting ways with Mauricio Pochettino during the summer. The Argentine’s departure came despite him guiding the Blues back on track following a difficult start to last term, ultimately finishing fifth.
Chelsea are set to compete for European qualification this season. However, Maresca thinks it will be a while before the west Londoners can compete with Manchester City and Arsenal - despite BlueCo spending over £1billion on transfers since their takeover in 2022.
“I really don’t think we can compete with City or Arsenal," the 44-year-old said ahead of the October international break.
"I really don’t think that because we are not ready. The reason is that City has worked with the same manager for nine years and Arsenal for five years. If you want to compete for big things you need that time.
“After Arsenal beat PSG they asked Luis Enrique and he said the same thing that Arsenal have had the same manager for five years and them only a year and a half. Imagine us, only three months… so it’s a huge difference. So I am really convinced we cannot compete with those clubs."

Arsenal could finalise emotional transfer reunion after meeting in London
Arsenal could be about to sanction a heartwarming transfer for one of their players.
Arsenal could reportedly sanction an emotional return to Celtic for Kieran Tierney in the January transfer window. The 27-year-old is yet to make his first Premier League appearance of the campaign, having been injured while playing for Scotland at Euro 2024.
Tierney has slipped down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium over the last few seasons and only has two years left on his contract. It seems he could be returning to Celtic sooner rather than later, with Arsenal having reportedly deemed him surplus to requirements.
According to talkSPORT, the Gunners have informed Tierney that he will be allowed to leave north London when the transfer window re-opens in January. Celtic are said to be keen on bringing him back to Parkhead and have reportedly been monitoring his situation.
Tierney played over 100 league games for the Scottish giants before moving to Arsenal in the summer of 2019. He is fondly remembered by the club's supporters and would be welcomed with open arms if he moves back there in January.
It comes after Tierney was spotted in deep conversation with Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers at a charity event in London. They both attended the Celtic Foundation's annual gala last week and were seen chatting to each other on the night.
Rodgers has made no secret of his admiration for Tierney, who he managed during his first spell in charge at Celtic Park before returning to the club last year.

The former Liverpool boss previously opened the door to a potential move for Tierney but expressed doubt as to whether Celtic would be able to afford his salary.
"When I spoke to him down the road in the Premier League, every time we met up all we talked about was Celtic," said Rodgers last year. "He’s a Celtic man but he’s at a fantastic club in Arsenal. You can just never say never in football. Who knows what might happen?
"I’m pretty sure we wouldn’t be able to pay the huge salary he’s on. However, one can never tell. Kieran has an incredible history with the club. He was a massive part of my time here, so there will always be that link. You never know."

Air India flight diverts to Nunavut airport after online security threat
An Air India flight, en route from Delhi to Chicago, was diverted to Iqaluit International airport in Nunavut Tuesday morning following an online security threat.
Many U.S. states have laws designed to keep children away from convicted sexual offenders on Halloween night, such as curfews for those on offender registries and requirements to keep their porch lights off.
But a Missouri law mandating a sign at the offender's home was a step too far, a judge ruled.
A 2008 law required registered offenders in Missouri to post signs on Oct. 31 that read “No candy or treats at this residence.” U.S. District Judge John Ross ruled this month that the provision violated the First Amendment by forcing “compelled speech," depriving those on the registry "of their freedom to speak in their own words or to not speak at all.”
The ruling lets stand other provisions of the Missouri law that require people on the registry on Halloween to remain inside their home from 5 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. and to leave their outdoor lights off.
The Missouri sign law is unique among states, but some cities and counties have tried similar laws that were either struck down in court or withdrawn as part of lawsuit settlements.
Ross's ruling on the Missouri sign law drew a mixed response. Some said extraordinary steps are necessary on a night when children flood the streets and often knock on the doors of strangers. Others said the sign law was unnecessarily cruel — and even counterproductive.
“I feel like it’s a setback and another example of predators’ rights kind of trumping those of their victims,” said Tara Bishop, a 40-year-old mother of four from southwestern Missouri who operates a Facebook page called Child Predators Exposed with more than 10,000 followers.
But an extensive examination of crime data published in 2009 in the Sexual Abuse journal found no increased risk of sexual abuse of children on Halloween. Experts say the vast majority of child sexual abuse crimes involve someone known by the victim or the child's family, and not strangers.
Janice Bellucci, the lawyer for the Missouri man who challenged the law, said that for those forced to place the sign, the damage is long-lasting.
“It’s not just stigmatizing you that one day, it stigmatizes you for the rest of your life, as long as you live there," said Bellucci, who is part of the California-based Alliance for Constitutional Sex Offense Laws.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Thomas L. Sanderson of Hazelwood, Missouri, a St. Louis suburb. He was convicted of second-degree sodomy in 2006 after a 16-year-old family friend accused him of sexually touching her. Sanderson, who has maintained his innocence, was sentenced to two years in prison and required to register as a sexual offender for 25 years.
The Missouri Halloween law was adopted two years later. It is unclear how many of the state's approximately 26,000 convicted sexual offenders have been charged for violating the statute, or how stringent enforcement has been. The law doesn't say where the sign must be placed. People on the registry are responsible for making their own signs.
The lawsuit said Sanderson asked police if he was subject to the law because his conviction happened before its passage. He said he was told he was not, so he continued to host Halloween parties complete with animatronic figures, lights, a bonfire, music and candy, the lawsuit said.
But the lawsuit said that on Halloween night 2022, police arrived at Sanderson's home. No sign was posted, and he was arrested. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for violating the Halloween statute and received probation. He sued last year.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey's office, in court filings, wrote that the state is duty-bound to protect children who can't make adequate decisions on their own. Bailey's office said an appeal is planned.
“I want Missouri to be the safest state in the nation for children. That includes on Halloween," Bailey, a Republican, said in a statement.
Alison Feigh, director of Jacob Wetterling Resource Center at Zero Abuse Project, which focuses on helping institutions prevent, recognize and respond to child sexual abuse, said most assaults happen after offenders build relationships with victims and their families. Tactics like signs are not helpful in keeping children safe, she said in an email.
“These public signs may give a false sense of security to families while not actually preventing child abuse,” Feigh said.
Other Halloween sign laws also have faced setbacks.
In Georgia, the Butts County Sheriff's Office was sued in 2019, with people on registries alleging that authorities trespassed onto their properties to post signs that caused humiliation and anxiety. The signs read: “WARNING! NO TRICK-OR-TREATING AT THIS ADDRESS!! A COMMUNITY SAFETY MESSAGE FROM BUTTS COUNTY SHERIFF GARY LONG."
A federal appeals court panel in 2022 said the signage violated the First Amendment.
In California, Simi Valley required Halloween signs in the yards of registered sexual offenders until reaching a 2013 settlement in a lawsuit filed by the Alliance for Constitutional Sex Offense Laws on behalf of five offenders.
In January, the alliance filed suit after the sheriff's office in Marion County, Ark., created and posted signs and placed them in the yards of those on the registry. The signs read: "Sorry! No Trick or Treat.” The sheriff's office later agreed to stop posting or requiring the signs.

Announces Expiration of HSR Act Waiting Period
Acquisition Expands and Extends Asset Positions in the Permian Basin, Mid-Continent, North Texas and Louisiana
TULSA, Okla., Oct. 15, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- ONEOK, Inc. (NYSE: OKE ) today announced the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the "HSR Act") and the successful completion of its acquisition of Global Infrastructure Partners' (GIP) entire interest in EnLink Midstream, LLC (NYSE: ENLC ) (EnLink), for a total cash consideration of approximately $3.3 billion.
The acquisition consists of 43% of EnLink's outstanding common units for $14.90 per unit and 100% of the interests in the managing member for $300 million.
"With the closing of this acquisition, ONEOK expands our integrated assets in key production basins, including the prolific Permian Basin, and establishes a new strategic asset position in Louisiana," said Pierce H. Norton II, ONEOK president and chief executive officer. "As we add another meaningful platform to ONEOK's businesses, we're confident in the enhanced service offerings and value we can provide our stakeholders.
"Additionally, we continue working toward the successful completion of our acquisition of GIP's equity interests in Medallion Midstream, further enhancing ONEOK's leading integrated midstream infrastructure position," added Norton.
With the close of this transaction, ONEOK has control of EnLink's managing member, and the board members currently designated by GIP will be replaced with new board members chosen by ONEOK, including:
Pierce H. Norton II, president and chief executive officer of ONEOK and member of the ONEOK Board of Directors. Norton will serve as chairman of the EnLink Midstream Board of Directors.
Walter S. Hulse III, executive vice president, chief financial officer, treasurer, investor relations and corporate development, of ONEOK.
Lyndon C. Taylor, executive vice president, chief legal officer and assistant secretary of ONEOK.
With the closing of the purchase of GIP's interests in EnLink, ONEOK intends to pursue the acquisition of the publicly held common units of EnLink in a tax-free transaction. The fully combined ONEOK and EnLink asset bases are expected to enhance synergies, reduce leverage and increase accretion to ONEOK shareholders. In addition, a combination with ONEOK is expected to give EnLink unitholders access to ONEOK's stock which is part of the S&P 500 and has significantly greater trading liquidity and an attractive dividend yield.
As a result of the transaction with GIP, EnLink will be a consolidated subsidiary of ONEOK for GAAP financial reporting purposes. EnLink common units and shares of ONEOK common stock will continue to be publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

Two Man Utd targets having 'second thoughts' over move as Jim Ratcliffe faces '£46m loss'
Manchester United could reportedly be rebuffed by January targets over the start to the new season.
Manchester United transfer targets are reportedly having 'second thoughts' about joining the Premier League club over their torrid start to the season. At least two players are claimed to be reluctant to move to Old Trafford due to the lack of progress made under Erik ten Hag.
The Red Devils are 14th in the top-flight, winning only two of their first seven matches. Ten Hag's side were thumped 3-0 by Tottenham and underwhelmed in their goalless draw with Aston Villa prior to the October international break.
United have endured a similarly tough start to their Europa League campaign. They drew 1-1 with FC Twente on matchday one, and required a stoppage-time Harry Maguire goal to salvage another point away to Porto.
Club chiefs have an eye on future transfer windows as they seek to improve the first-team squad. However, the Daily Mail reports that at least two possible targets are having 'second thoughts' about joining United, owing to the club's bad form.
Each of the club's five recruits from their £200million summer spree has faced difficulties since arriving in Manchester. Joshua Zirkzee has not scored since netting the winner on his debut against Fulham, while the performances of Manuel Ugarte and Matthijs de Ligt in the defeat against Spurs came under scrutiny.
Noussair Mazraoui is set to be sidelined for a short period after undergoing surgery, while Leny Yoro is yet to appear after suffering an injury during pre-season.
The report also claims that United are preparing to take a whopping £46m hit on Antony. The Brazilian winger has failed to impress since joining the club in 2022. United bosses hope to receive at least £40m for the player, only two years after they paid £86m to sign him from Ajax.
Antony has played only 27 minutes in the Premier League this season. The 24-year-old's only full 90-minute outing came in the 7-0 demolition of Barnsley in the Carabao Cup, a match in which he scored a penalty.
United have spent around £600m on new signings since Ten Hag's appointment in 2022. It was telling that - albeit for various reasons - only three of those players started the stalement against Villa. The club's success rate with their recruitment has been below-par.
It is an issue that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is seeking to avoid over the coming years. In the summer, there was a focus on signing younger players with room for development, assets who generally come at a smaller cost than ready-made superstars.

Air India flight diverts to Nunavut airport after online security threat
An Air India flight, en route from Delhi to Chicago, was diverted to Iqaluit International airport in Nunavut Tuesday morning following an online security threat.
Lufthansa has agreed to pay a US$4 million penalty for allegedly discriminating against Jewish passengers who were trying to board a connecting flight in Frankfurt in May 2022, the U.S. Transportation Department said on Tuesday.
Lufthansa prohibited 128 Jewish passengers, nearly all of whom wore garments generally worn by Orthodox Jewish men, from boarding a connecting flight in Germany on the basis of alleged misbehaviour by some passengers, the Transportation Department said.
Although many of the passengers did not know each other or were not traveling together, passengers interviewed by DOT investigators stated that Lufthansa treated them as if they were a single group and denied all of them boarding for the alleged misbehaviour of a few, DOT said.
The passengers, who had flown from New York to Frankfurt, were trying to board a connecting flight to Budapest.
Under the consent order, Lufthansa agreed to pay US$2 million and the Department of Transportation said it will credit the airline with US$2 million that it paid in compensation to passengers.
Lufthansa did not admit to any violations under the consent order and it denied that any of its employees discriminated against passengers. It contended as many as 60 passengers onboard at any given time were disregarding crew instructions.
The airline said it regretted and has publicly apologized on numerous occasions for the circumstances surrounding the decision to deny boarding, USDOT said in the consent order.
The airline said the incident "resulted from an unfortunate series of inaccurate communications, misinterpretations, and misjudgments throughout the decision-making process," the Transportation Department said.
Lufthansa said in a statement Tuesday that since the 2022 incident, it has fully cooperated with the DOT and remains focused on many efforts including partnering with American Jewish Committee to curate "a first-of-its kind training program in the airline industry for our managers and employees to address antisemitism and discrimination."
USDOT said the penalty is the largest it has ever issued against an airline for civil rights violations.
"No one should face discrimination when they travel, and today’s action sends a clear message to the airline industry that we are prepared to investigate and take action whenever passengers’ civil rights are violated,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said.

Man Utd scolded by Eric Cantona in X-rated rant after ruthless Sir Alex Ferguson decision
Eric Cantona has launched a scathing attack on his former club.
Eric Cantona has accused Manchester United of disrespecting Sir Alex Ferguson as part of a scathing attack on his former club. It comes after United told Ferguson they would no longer commit to paying him millions of pounds each year.
The legendary Scot has been working as a global ambassador for United since walking away from the dugout 11 years ago. However, he will stop receiving his lucrative salary beyond the end of the current season as part of United's cost-cutting efforts.
Cantona, who thrived under Ferguson during his time at Old Trafford, did not take kindly to the news as he issued a furious statement on his Instagram account.

He wrote: "Sir Alex Ferguson should be able to do anything he wants at the club until the day he dies. Such a lack of respect. It’s totally scandalous. Sir Alex Ferguson will be my boss forever! And I throw them all in a big bag of s**t!"
Richard Keys, who was Sky Sports' chief football presenter at the height of Ferguson's tenure, offered a similar view on X (formerly Twitter). He posted: "What small-minded thinking. He’s not my favourite but he’s a living legend, the best our game has ever seen.
"He should be treated with respect by [Sir Jim] Ratcliffe, not disdain. Man Utd cost cutting? Morale sapping I’d say. Ratcliffe is killing the club."
According to The Athletic, Ferguson was told by Ratcliffe in a face-to-face meeting that United were no longer in a position to commit to his annual salary. The report states there is no bad blood between Ratcliffe and Ferguson, who remains an executive director.

Man Utd are right to axe Sir Alex Ferguson but Sir Jim Ratcliffe isn't to blame [OPINION]
United have been in the process of cutting costs since Ratcliffe purchased a minority stake in the club in December. They have outlined plans to axe 250 members of staff while leading a shake-up of their backroom structure among other measures.
Ratcliffe previously waxed lyrical about Ferguson, who won 38 trophies during his time in charge of United between 1986 and 2013.
Speaking earlier this year, the INEOS chief said: "He’s got a lot of experience, a lot of stories to tell and a lot of thoughts about the club. I don’t think he has been encouraged to get involved but he is still very thoughtful about the club and he has an immense amount of experience.
"He really understands the values and traditions of the club and what it’s all about. He is still fiercely competitive, Sir Alex Ferguson."

Air India flight diverts to Nunavut airport after online security threat
An Air India flight, en route from Delhi to Chicago, was diverted to Iqaluit International airport in Nunavut Tuesday morning following an online security threat.
Warning: This article contains disturbing content. Reader discretion is advised.
Sean “Diddy” Combs was hit Monday with a new wave of lawsuits accusing him of raping women, sexually assaulting men and molesting a 16-year-old boy.
At least six lawsuits were filed against Combs in federal court in Manhattan, adding to a growing list of legal claims against the indicted hip-hop mogul, all of which he has denied. The lawsuits were filed anonymously to protect the identities of the accusers, two by women identified as Jane Does and four by men identified as John Does.
Some of the Does, echoing others who've accused Combs in recent months, allege that he used his fame and the promise of potential stardom to entice victims to lavish parties or drug-fueled hangouts where he then assaulted them. Some allege that he beat or drugged them. Others say he threatened to kill them if they didn’t do as he pleased or if they spoke out against him.
The lawsuits describe alleged assaults dating to the mid-1990s, including at Combs’ celebrity-studded white parties in Long Island’s Hamptons, at a party in Brooklyn celebrating Combs’ then-collaborator Biggie Smalls, and even in the storeroom at Macy’s flagship department store in midtown Manhattan.
The plaintiffs in Monday’s lawsuits are part of what their lawyers say is a group of more than 100 accusers who are in the process of taking legal action against Combs following his Sept. 16 federal sex trafficking arrest. Plaintiffs’ lawyer Tony Buzbee announced the planned litigation at an Oct. 1 news conference and posted a 1-800 number for accusers to call.
In a statement, Combs’ lawyers slammed those tactics as “clear attempts to garner publicity,” and said the rapper and his legal team "have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone—adult or minor, man or woman.”
Combs, 54, has pleaded not guilty in his criminal case, which involves allegations he coerced and abused women for years with help from a network of associates and employees while silencing victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings.
Twice denied bail, the Bad Boy Records founder remains locked up at a Brooklyn federal jail while awaiting trial in May. Two judges have concluded that Combs would be a danger to the community if he is released. On Friday, an appeals court judge denied Combs’ immediate release from jail while a three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals weighs his bail request.
Before Monday’s raft of lawsuits, all of the accusers suing Combs had been adults at the time of their alleged abuse, although a Chicago record producer claimed in a February suit that he had "irrefutable evidence" of Combs sexually abusing minors.
In a lawsuit Monday, a John Doe alleged that Combs fondled his genitals when he was 16 at one of Combs’ white parties in 1998. The man, who now lives in North Carolina, alleges that Combs told him he had “the look” of a star and then abruptly ordered the then-teen to drop his pants.
According to the man’s lawsuit, Combs explained to him that it was a rite of passage to becoming a music star, at one point asking him: “Don’t you want to break into the business?” The man said he complied out of fear, anxiety and a power imbalance he felt with Combs, only realizing later that what he says happened was sexual assault.
Other lawsuits filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan include allegations of rape, forced oral sex and drugging to incapacitate victims.
One of the Jane Does alleges Combs raped her in a locked hotel room in 2004 after he invited her and a friend there for a party, gave them drinks and told them to snort cocaine. The woman, then a college freshman, alleges Combs also forced her friend to perform oral sex on him and threatened their lives if they didn’t comply.
Another Jane Doe alleged Combs violently attacked and raped her in a bathroom in 1995 at a party in Brooklyn for Smalls’ music video, “One More Chance.” Smalls, also known as the Notorious B.I.G., was killed two years later in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles.
According to the woman, Combs brought her into the bathroom to talk privately and started kissing her unexpectedly. When she tried pulling away, she alleges, he slammed her head against the wall, causing her to fall to the floor. She said she tried to escape, but Combs hit her again and raped her.
Afterward, according to the woman, Combs nonchalantly adjusted his clothing and told her: “You better not tell anyone about this, or you will disappear.”
The other John Doe lawsuits allege: Combs sexually assaulted a security guard at a 2006 white party after giving him a drugged beverage; forced a man working for a rival fashion brand to perform oral sex on him in the Macy’s stockroom in 2008; and sexually assaulted a man at a party in October 2021.
The latter man, who suspects a drugged beverage left him unable to fight back, recalls multiple men assaulting him and distinctly recalls seeing Combs above him, naked, at one point during the assault, his lawsuit said.
Associated Press journalists Andrew Dalton and Jonathan Landrum Jr. in Los Angeles contributed to this report.
This story was first published on Oct. 14, 2024. It was updated on Oct. 15, 2024, to correct that Monday was not the first time Combs had been sued by a person alleging they were abused by a minor. Combs was accused of sexually abusing a person under the age of 18 in a previous lawsuit filed last year.
This story has been corrected to reflect that the party celebrating Biggie Smalls was in 1995, not 2005, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.

United States, Canada, Designate ‘Sham’ Anti-Israel Charity, Samidoun, as Terror Group
Samidoun has been ‘advocating on behalf of Hamas’ and has been a driver of ‘the most vicious antisemitism,’ the International Legal Forum said in response to the newly imposed sanctions.
The United States and Canada, in a coordinated effort, are sanctioning an anti-Israel group that they say operates as a “key” fundraiser and “sham charity” for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a designated terrorist organization and Hamas ally.
The Treasury Department said on Tuesday that the “sham charity,” the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, is used by the PFLP — which was designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization in 1997 — to “maintain fundraising operations in both Europe and North America.” The PFLP, which operates in Gaza and the West Bank, has been “committed to terrorist activity” and participated in “horrific attacks against Israeli civilians” on October 7 last year, the Treasury noted. Samidoun was already banned in Germany last November.
A leader of the PFLP, Khaled Barakat, was also targeted by the sanctions on Tuesday, as the Treasury Department said that “Together, Samidoun and Barakat play critical roles in external fundraising for the PFLP.”
Samidoun is a “front organization” established by the PFLP and based in Vancouver, Canada, the Treasury said, adding that Barakat is a Canadian citizen whose fundraising has directly supported terrorist activity against Israel.
“Organizations like Samidoun masquerade as charitable actors that claim to provide humanitarian support to those in need, yet in reality divert funds for much-needed assistance to support terrorist groups,” the Acting Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, Bradley Smith, said in a statement. “The United States, together with Canada and our like-minded partners, will continue to disrupt those who seek to finance the PFLP, Hamas, and other terrorist organizations.”
Canada’s public safety minister, Dominic LeBlanc, said that the two countries are sending a message that they “will not tolerate this type of activity and will do everything in our power to ensure robust measures are in place to address terrorist financing.”
Samidoun did not immediately return a request for comment.
An Israel-based global coalition of lawyers, the International Legal Forum, applauded the formal designation of Samidoun as a terrorist organization and said the sanctions mean it “will no longer be able to cause harm.”
“The ILF has long called for the designation of Samidoun, which in addition to serving as an inseparable arm of PFLP, with connections to the Islamic Republic of Iran, has been masquerading as a charitable organization, raising funds for the purposes of providing material support for terror around the world,” the ILF said in a statement provided to the Sun. “Since the October 7th massacre, Samidoun has also been advocating on behalf of Hamas, and being one of the foremost drivers of the most vicious antisemitism, violence against Jewish communities in North America and Europe, as well as calls for genocide.’
Since the October 7 massacre, Samidoun has been a vocal supporter of armed “Palestinian resistance” and has been a key organizer of anti-Israel protests that have rocked cities and college campuses across the world. Its events page lists numerous calls to action, boycotts, mass marches, and rallies, in cities from Europe to North America.

For Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall, the writing was quite literally on the wall after his team fell to a 2-1 defeat at home to Chelsea on Saturday. On Hornsey Road, just a stone's throw from the Emirates Stadium, the words 'Jonas out' were there for all to see as night fell, boldly brushed onto dark brick in white paint. It took a couple of days for that disgruntled fan's wish to come to fruition but, on Tuesday, the Gunners announced that Eidevall's three-year stint as head coach had come to an end.
North London's new graffiti artist wasn't the only fan that wanted this outcome. Many have become frustrated in recent seasons as the most successful club in the history of English women's football has consistently fallen short in the Women's Super League, all-but-mathematically out of contention for the title when the run-in began last season, and the year before.
At times, critics of Eidevall have at least temporarily been swatted away by other achievements, such as back-to-back League Cup triumphs and a run to the Champions League semi-finals, but it was always going to be difficult for him to come back from the negativity brought on by Arsenal's start to the 2024-25 season.
It all began so well for the Swede, with a memorable 3-2 win over Chelsea at the Emirates and a title charge that fell just short on the final day. Where did it go wrong to lead to his time at the club ending in his resignation just four games into the new WSL season?

For years, singer/songwriter Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of Elvis Presley, refused to write a memoir; she told people she thought her life wasn’t interesting enough to fill a book.
"I think she's had a complicated relationship with existing in the public eye and wanting to connect to people and share her story, but also really not enjoying having attention on her," Lisa Marie's daughter, Riley Keough says.
Eventually, Lisa Marie changed her mind about the memoir. She began making audio recordings about her life and reached out to Keough for help with the project. A month later, in January 2023, Lisa Marie died suddenly, and Keough had to decide whether or not to complete the book.
"I received the tapes. And then I kind of put it off for a while because I was like, why am I doing this to myself?" Keough says. "But the project of the book really felt like a duty to me. ... It felt like just a task that had to be done, so then I think I approached it in that way."
The book, From Here to the Great Unknown, takes its title from a lyric from the song “Where No One Stands Alone,” featured on a 2018 compilation album of Lisa Marie singing duets with archival recordings of her father's favorite gospel songs. In the book, Lisa Marie describes growing up in Graceland and shock of losing her father when she was 9. She also looks back on her three marriages, her battle with addiction and the loss of her son, Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide in 2020.
Keough, who is listed as a co-author of the memoir, says she struggled throughout to capture her mother's voice.
"[Lisa Marie] was very complicated and she was very candid and honest and raw and tough and wild and rebellious," Keough says. "But she also had a side to her that was very sort of childlike and naïve as well. And [she was] one of the most loving people I've ever met. But also I don't know if she could ever receive love, which was interesting."
Interview highlights
On Lisa Marie’s relationship to her parents, Elvis and Priscilla
I think that she was so close with her father, like she was a daddy's girl and he was everything to her that the loss of him was so great. And I think that dictated the relationship she had with her mother. …
Priscilla was a very young mother, and obviously my grandmother was living in this world that was totally overwhelming and unusual and she [had] to be Elvis' wife. And I think there was a lot of pressure on her to be perfect and to be the perfect wife and woman that ever lived. … And I think that my mom and her were very different. Like my mother was very wild and unruly and rebellious and radical kind of, and [Priscilla] was very well mannered and perfect, kind of the opposite of my mom, so I think they would butt heads often. … I also think that that had to do with the fact that she was in grief, too, so I think that she was acting out. She was angry at the universe for taking her father away and that everything and everyone was not him.
On Lisa Marie’s account of the day Elvis died in 1977
She always felt protective over that story. I always got the sense that she would never share the details of that day publicly, but then when I got the tapes, I heard that she wanted to share the details of that day. …
She basically came into my grandfather's room and he was in his bathroom and she saw him in there and then somebody grabbed her and brought her out into her room. And the ambulance came. And I think she says she went to smoke a cigarette. She was 9 years old. And then she watched him get brought down the stairs on a gurney. And she kind of says she remembers seeing his shoes or his hand or something like that. And he gets wheeled out of the house. And then a few moments later, his father, Vernon, basically, she hears him yelling and saying, “My baby's gone” … and I think Vernon said, “Your daddy's gone.”
On the family grieving alongside the public
The whole world was grieving her father, and she talks about watching people come through the house and people fainting and having to be carried out and ambulances coming to get people. ... I think it was a very interesting way to grieve. And I think that it kind of maybe didn't leave her a lot of room for her own grief.
On Lisa Marie’s connection to Graceland
She was very happy to be at Graceland. And in general, like if we were in Memphis, she just loved it there. She wanted a house there. And it was where she grew up and had some of her best memories as a child. We always had a lot of fun there. We would have dinners there and Thanksgiving and when the tours were over, obviously we would hang out in the house and they would take the ropes down and it was just like a family home for us. We would hang out in the living rooms and me and my brother would run downstairs and play pool with our cousins. And so we got to experience it as a home growing up. … And her father's room, which has never been part of the tour, her room in her father's room are upstairs in the house, and it's really only been a few people who are allowed up there and just our family. And she kept a key with her, and it was just a place that she went. It was like a place of comfort for her. I think she really felt her father in the room.
On Lisa Marie’s marriage to Michael Jackson being questioned as a publicity stunt
Their love was very genuine and they were in love and they were in a real relationship and slept in bed together and were very normal. But I think that when you're that famous, there's a lot of people around. I think both camps kind of had people in their ears about each other. My mom started to perceive that maybe he was on drugs and he started to maybe get the idea that she was on to him maybe being on drugs. And then I think there was paranoia. I think my grandmother was apprehensive about the marriage and brought that idea up to my mom, and I think it just kind of exploded.
On Riley’s relationship Jackson
I think my mom says something in the book that people might kind of pass over, which is really kind of indicative of the whole thing, which is that like the version of Michael that was in her/our lives or that she was with, was different to, I think, the version that he presented on TV. Even the way he spoke was different. Probably with Elvis, too: There's the version of Elvis Presley for the world and then there's the version at home. And I think my experience with Michael was he felt like a human being and spoke differently. I remember the first time I saw him on TV, his register was higher and that's not how I was used to hearing him. And I remember thinking: That was interesting. So I think that in my life he felt like my mom's husband, like a stepfather.
On Lisa Marie seeing Elvis impersonators at her shows
She used to, before shows, peek out the side of the curtain and and find where they would be so that she wasn't surprised when she went out there and she would just peek around and kind of go, OK, there's one in the back, there's one over there so she wasn't shocked. … It's like some kind of wild fever dream to go out on stage and perform to your dead father, or like someone in costume. It's bizarre. People's relationship to him was as if he was like this sort of like God, you know? And so I don't think there was a lot of humanizing going on with her. It's not that they had ill intentions. I think that they're just fans and just maybe didn't realize how weird that would be for her.

Nathan Aspinall suffers huge meltdown during match and furiously launches dart at board
Darts ace Nathan Aspinall showed his frustration after missing a pivotal checkout in his Players Championship match in Wigan.
Darts star Nathan Aspinall saw red after missing two chances to win a pivotal leg against Madars Razma. World No 8 Aspinall showed his frustration and apologised to others on the oche during his early defeat in Wigan.
The 33-year-old would have hoped to achieve a return to form at the Players Championship 27 on Tuesday. It has been a frustrating year so far for Aspinall, who recently recovered from a tendon injury in his throwing arm last month.
The former World Matchplay champion began the day with an emphatic 6-1 victory over Niels Zonnevield at the Robin Park Leisure Centre. However, any hopes of Aspinall scooping the £15,000 grand prize soon crumbled in the second round against Razma, with The Asp’s reaction to two missed doubles summing up his disappointment.
The score was tied at four legs apiece when The Asp stepped up, requiring a 40 checkout to take the lead. His first dart narrowly missed D20, but it was his second arrow that made Aspinall irate.
His attempt at D10 strayed into the 15 bed and caused Aspinall to lose his cool after giving Razma, sitting on 35, a chance to go ahead. In frustration, Aspinall angrily threw his final dart - maintaining pinpoint accuracy as it bounced off his previous throw - before saying, “Sorry” and putting up his hand to apologise to the other people on the oche.
Despite Aspinall leaving himself with five remaining, Razma took advantage of his opportunity. The Latvian won the match 6-4 and secured a 6-5 victory over Callan Rydz in the next round.

Meanwhile, Aspinall will make the short trip home with £1,000 in prize money. The Players Championship has proved to be a struggle for the 33-year-old, who has only made it through to the fourth round twice in 18 appearances.
Winning the World Matchplay last year was the highlight of Aspinall’s career and he has enjoyed moments of success in 2024. However, his title defence ended in the second round, and since returning from injury in September, he has not gone beyond the third round in his last 11 events, causing him to slip down the world rankings.
Aspinall will not have long to dwell on his defeat to Razma, though, as he returns to the same venue for Players Championship 28 on Wednesday. The PDC will then head to Prague for the Czech Open at the weekend.

Air India flight diverts to Nunavut airport after online security threat
An Air India flight, en route from Delhi to Chicago, was diverted to Iqaluit International airport in Nunavut Tuesday morning following an online security threat.
North Korea blew up sections of inter-Korean roads and rail lines on its side of the heavily fortified border between the two Koreas on Tuesday, prompting South Korea's military to fire warning shots.
Pyongyang said last week it would cut off the inter-Korean roads and railways entirely and further fortify the areas on its side of the border as part of its push for a "two-state" system scrapping its longstanding goal of unification.
At around midday on Tuesday, some northern parts of road and rail lines connected to the South were destroyed, the South's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.
Seoul's unification ministry, which handles cross-border affairs, condemned the incident as a clear violation of past inter-Korean agreements, calling it "highly abnormal."
"It is deplorable that North Korea is repeatedly conducting such regressive behaviour," ministry spokesperson Koo Byoung-sam told a briefing.
Tensions mounted after the North last week accused Seoul of sending drones over Pyongyang. North Korea said the drones scattered a "huge number" of anti-North leaflets, and Kim Yo Jong, leader Kim Jong Un's powerful sister, warned on Tuesday that Seoul would "pay a dear price."
South Korea's government has declined to say whether the South Korean military or civilians had flown the alleged drones.
The two Koreas have also clashed over balloons of trash floated since May from North Korea. Pyongyang has said the launches are a response to balloons sent by anti-regime activists in the South.
After Tuesday's demolitions, video released by the South's military showed an explosion and a plume of smoke rising above an area of road where the North had put up a black barrier.
It also showed several dump trucks and earth-movers approaching with a group of North Korean military officials observing and guiding the vehicles.
In response to the blasts, the South's military fired warning shots south of the military demarcation line, although there was no damage on Seoul's side of the border, it said.
Pyongyang has been taking steps to sever inter-Korean ties, redefining the South as a separate, hostile enemy state, since Kim Jong Un declared it a "primary foe" early this year and said unification was no longer possible.
The two Koreas are still technically at war after their 1950-53 war ended in an armistice, not a peace treaty.
The cross-border roads and railways are remnants of rapprochement that included a 2018 summit. Seoul has funneled more than US$132 million into rebuilding the links in the form of cheap loans to Pyongyang, unification ministry data showed.
"It was a major inter-Korean cooperation project that was carried out upon the request from the North," said ministry spokesperson Koo, adding Pyongyang was still obliged to repay the loans.
In 2020, the North blew up a joint liaison office set up in a border town after nuclear talks with the United States collapsed.
South Korea filed a lawsuit in 2023 against the North, seeking damages of around 45 billion won (US$33 million) from the joint office's demolition.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a press briefing that Beijing was concerned about developments and wanted "to avoid further escalation of the conflict."
The government of South Korea's Gyeonggi Province bordering the North said on Tuesday a special police force would be brought in to crack down on the practice of flying anti-North Korea leaflets from some border areas.
South Korea's constitutional court overturned a ban on such launches last year.
Proponents say leaflet campaigns should be respected as freedom of speech but critics and some lawmakers say police should block them if they threaten lives and safety.

The chances of a half-percentage point interest rate cut by the Bank of Canada became more likely Tuesday after Statistics Canada reported the annual inflation rate fell to 1.6 per cent in September.
It will feel more like winter for some parts of Eastern Canada over the next few days, with single-digit highs and snow in the forecast.
Canada is listing the pro-Palestinian group Samidoun as a terrorist group, while the U.S. has added a Canadian citizen affiliated with the organization to its counter-terrorism list.

Biker who killed girlfriend, 27, in horror motorcycle crash is spared jail after victim's family pleads with judge: 'He loved her'
A biker who killed his girlfriend in a horror motorcycle crash has been spared jail time after the victim's family made an emotional plea to the judge to show him mercy.
Laura Carrillo, 27, died when she fell off Jake Barton's KTM RC 390 into the path of an oncoming vehicle near Whitchurch, Shropshire.
The Madrid-born woman, who had been living in the UK since 2017, was pronounced dead at the scene on the A41 on October 12, 2023.
Barton, 24, of Stafford, went on to plead guilty to causing death by careless driving and had been facing jail when he was sentenced today
However Barton avoided a custodial sentence after Ms Carrillo's family pleaded with the court to not sentence him to time behind bars.
The boyfriend of Laura Carrillo, 27, (Pictured) who killed her in a horror motorcycle crash has been spared jail
Her family, who described the Spanish national as a sporty biology student, who lived life to the fullest, issued an emotional plea to the judge to not jail her boyfriend Mr Barton
Ms Carrillo's brother Jaime Carrillo sent victim impact statements to District Judge Ian Barnes who was sentencing Barton at Telford Magistrates Court.
In their victim impact statements, the family described the Spanish national as a sporty, ice-hockey biology student who enjoyed living life to the fullest.
Prosecutor Sara Beddow read the statement, which also said: 'We do not want Jake to go to prison, we do not believe it would in any way help or relieve the pain.'
Mr Carrillo said that the Carrillo-Sanchez family 'did not perceive Jake as a criminal' and they felt that he had been 'punished enough' by Ms Carrillo's death.
'He loved my sister. There is no greater punishment than watching my sister die,' he added.
The grieving brother also told of how his sister's death had 'destroyed [their] lives', adding that his parents had undergone counselling in the wake of the tragedy.
He also revealed that his 85-year-old grandmother is 'not able to overcome her absence'.
'We are forever impacted, forever devastated,' Mr Carrillo said.
Prosecuting, Ms Beddow, said the crash in Prees Higher Heath had been a case of a 'momentary loss of concentration'.
Adrian Roberts, defending, said Barton had himself been 'struggling to come to terms with the tragic events.'
A victim impact statement sent in by her brother Jaime Carrillo read: 'We do not want Jake to go to prison, we do not believe it would in any way help or relieve the pain' (Pictured: Telford Magistrates' Court)
He added: 'The two had been working together for eight months. He is clearly devastated and struggled to explain how he feels.'
Mr Roberts claimed a pick-up truck in front of Barton's motorcycle, travelling at about 40mph, had braked 'suddenly'.
Barton had been 'too close' and had attempted to avoid a collision by steering to the right.
Mr Roberts said: 'He caught the rear offside of the Toyota Hilux and [Ms Carrillo] fell off.'
He added that Barton, a contract catering events manager, had continued to work despite the 'burden of guilt'.
District Judge Ian Barnes said it had been a 'desperately tragic case for everyone involved' and passed his condolences to Ms Carrillo's family.
He said Barton had 'reacted too late', and tried to take evasive action. The court was told that traffic had been travelling at about 40mph.
The judge said: 'You did not set out to cause harm but you carry the responsibility. It is clear that Laura dearly loved and lived life to the full. Her joy was infectious.'
The judge handed him a 26-week custodial sentence, suspended for 18 months, adding that there is a 'realistic prospect of rehabilitation'.
Barton will also have to carry out 250 hours of unpaid work in the community, and attend 20 rehabilitation activity days.
Barton was also ordered to pay a victims' surcharge of £154 and prosecution costs of £85.
Ms Carrillo, who had been living in the UK since 2017, was pronounced dead at the scene on the A41 (Pictured) on October 12, 2023 after falling off Mr Barton's motorcycle
He has also been banned from driving for 18 months after which he will have to pass an extended driving test before getting behind the wheel again.
In a previous tribute to the 27-year-old, Ms Carrillo's family said: 'Laura lit up every single room she entered.
'She was fiery, energetic, adventurous, kind and beautifully crazy.
'She loved to travel and explore, and we are grateful that she saw as much of the world as she did before she passed.
'We know the world is a better place because of her influence.
'She was a much-loved daughter, sister, niece, cousin and friend. Words cannot express how much we will miss her and how forever changed our lives are now.'

After year of war, Israel running low on missile interceptors October 15, 2024Iron dome anti-missile system fires interception missiles as rockets fired from the Gaza Strip to Israel, in Ashkelon on August 7, 2022. (Flash90/Yonatan Sindel)(Flash90/Yonatan Sindel)After year of war, Israel running low on missile interceptors Tweet WhatsApp Email https://worldisraelnews.com/after-year-of-war-israel-running-low-on-missile-interceptors/ Email Print Following thousands of rocket attacks from Hamas and Hezbollah, two massive ballistic missile attacks from Iran, and sporadic missile and drone attacks from Yemenite Houthis, Israel is reportedly running low on interceptor missiles that could leave air defenses ‘stretched.’By World Israel News StaffIsrael’s air defense network is facing a possible shortage of interceptor missiles, and is at risk of being “stretched” thin in future confrontations with Iran and Hezbollah, ex-military officials and experts told The Financial Times.“Israel’s munitions issue is serious,” Dana Stroul, a former American Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Middle East, told the Times.Read WATCH: Israeli strikes destroy Hezbollah launchers, weapon depots“If Iran responds to an Israel attack, and Hezbollah joins in too, Israel air defenses will be stretched.”According to Tuesday’s report, the U.S. is working to help relieve the impending shortage, including the impending deployment of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-ballistic missile defense systems in Israel.Even with U.S. assistance, however, Israel could soon be facing a “tipping point,” Stroul continued.“The U.S. can’t continue supplying Ukraine and Israel at the same pace. We are reaching a tipping point.”Meanwhile, Israeli suppliers said they are working round the clock to keep the IDF supplied with interceptor missiles.Read Gallant to Austin - Time running out on diplomatic solution with Hezbollah“Some of our lines are working 24 hours, seven days a week.

Col. Assaf Orion warned that Hezbollah, which possesses a far larger military capability than Hamas did even at the outset of the war, could potentially carry out vastly larger rocket and missile attacks that it has done hitherto.Read WATCH: Rafah - Before and after“We are not seeing Hezbollah’s full capability yet.

Iran’s oil production increases last month despite drop in OPEC output
Date
10/15/2024 8:58:34 AM
(MENAFN) In its latest report, OPEC revealed that Iran's crude oil production reached 3.316 million barrels per day (bpd) in September 2024, marking a 21,000-bpd increase from the previous month. Despite this rise in Iranian output, overall production across OPEC members saw a decline of 604,000 bpd during the same period. With this boost, Iran has solidified its position as the third-largest oil producer within OPEC, following Saudi Arabia and Iraq. This increase in production underscores the country’s steady efforts to bolster its output, particularly after producing 3.295 million bpd in August.
Iran’s average crude oil production for the third quarter of 2024 stood at 3.3 million bpd, reflecting a significant rise of 62,000 bpd from the second quarter. The data also shows the country’s upward trend in production over the past few years. In 2022, Iran's average daily production was 2.554 million bpd, which rose to 2.859 million bpd in 2023. These figures indicate a gradual recovery in Iran’s oil industry, despite external pressures such as sanctions. However, the average price of Iranian crude oil saw a decline in September, dropping by USD7.01 per barrel to USD73.59, compared to USD77.63 in August.
Looking back, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had previously reported that Iran's oil production rose by 500,000 bpd in 2023, bringing it to 3.1 million bpd. This increase contributed to a 15 percent growth in the oil sector that year, following consecutive double-digit growth in previous years under President Ebrahim Raisi. From 2021 to 2023, the sector experienced growth rates of 10.1 percent, 10 percent, and 15 percent respectively. This upward trajectory is expected to continue, with predictions suggesting that Iran’s oil production will rise by an additional 100,000 bpd in 2024, bringing the total output to 3.2 million bpd.
In parallel, Iran’s gas production has also seen considerable growth, rising from the equivalent of 4.8 million bpd in 2022 to 5.1 million bpd in 2023. The IMF anticipates that this trend will persist, with a further increase of 300,000 bpd expected in 2024, reaching 5.4 million bpd. On the export front, Iran sold 1.4 million bpd of crude oil in 2023, marking a 500,000 bpd increase from the previous year. This upward trajectory in exports is forecasted to continue, with an additional 100,000 bpd expected to push the country’s oil exports to 1.5 million bpd in 2024.

LOS ANGELES -- Family members of Erik and Lyle Menendez, the brothers serving life sentences for killing their parents in Beverly Hills more than 35 years ago, are set to speak out as prosecutors review new evidence in the case.
Nearly two dozen relatives will host a press conference in Los Angeles on Wednesday to put pressure on the district attorney to officially recommend resentencing in the brothers' case.
Earlier this month, L.A. County District Attorney George Gascón announced his office would be reviewing new evidence and will make a decision on whether a resentencing is warranted in the notorious case that captured national attention.
The new evidence presented in a petition includes a letter written by Erik Menendez that his attorneys say corroborates the allegations that he was sexually abused by his father.
The brothers have said they killed their parents out of self-defense after enduring a lifetime of physical, emotional and sexual abuse from them. Their attorneys argue that because of society's changing views on sexual abuse, that the brothers may not have been convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without parole today.
The brothers' attorneys said the family believed from the beginning they should have been charged with manslaughter rather than murder. Manslaughter was not an option for the jury during the second trial that ultimately led to the brothers' murder conviction, Geragos said.
Lyle Menendez, who was then 21, and Erik Menendez, then 18, admitted they fatally shot-gunned their entertainment executive father Jose Menendez and their mother, Kitty Menendez, in 1989 but said they feared their parents were about to kill them to prevent the disclosure of the father's long-term sexual molestation of Erik.
Prosecutors at the time contended there was no evidence of any molestation. They said the sons were after their parents' multimillion-dollar estate.
Jurors rejected a death sentence in favor of life without parole.
The case has gained new attention after Netflix began streaming the true-crime drama "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. "
Gascón said he believes that the topic of sexual assault would have been treated with more sensitivity if the case had happened today.
"We have not decided on an outcome. We are reviewing information," Gascón said earlier this month.
He said his office did not know the "validity" of what was presented at the trial.
Gascón, who is seeking reelection, noted that more than 300 people have been resentenced during his term, and only four have gone on to commit a crime again.
A hearing was scheduled for Nov. 29.
Lyle Menendez recently earned a sociology degree from the University of California, Irvine, through a prison program. Geragos said they have been model prisoners despite believing they would never be released.
"I think it's time," Geragos said. "The family thinks it's time."
Reality TV star and celebrity personality Kim Kardashian, who has advocated for criminal justice reform, also weighed in, writing in a personal essay shared with NBC News that the outsized media attention on the first trial that was nationally televised denied them justice.
She noted with "their suffering and stories of abuse ridiculed in skits on 'Saturday Night Live'" that they were painted as "two arrogant, rich kids from Beverly Hills who killed their parents out of greed. There was no room for empathy, let alone sympathy."
"Erik and Lyle had no chance of a fair trial against this backdrop," Kardashian wrote.
The Associated Press and ABC News contributed to this report.

While many people on Monday marked Indigenous People's Day or Columbus Day, members of a Polish group in Northampton, Massachusetts, celebrated their heritage by honoring Casimir Pulaski.
The Revolutionary War leader aided George Washington and the Continental Army in battles against the British.
The Polish Heritage Committee celebrates Pulaski Day with Mass at St. Valentine's Polish National Church.
"Today, we want to remember all the contributions that the Polish people have done in America to make this country so great," said Robert Gibowicz, who chairs the group.
Gibowicz and the rest of the congregants, some dressed in beaded vests and the traditional Polish colors of red and white, led a parade down Main Street in Northampton.
Northampton resident Jessica Nally marched in the parade.
"I want to be able to give back to all the Polish people who I can relate to because I'm half-Polish," Nally said. "I want to learn the language, so that I can speak better [and] teach my traditions to all my nieces and nephews."
Chris Majewski attended the Mass and said she used to carry the wreaths in the parade with her sister.
"We carry it to Pulaski's monument at Pulaski Park,” Majewski said. “And then there's usually a designated person that will take the wreath from us, and he lays it at the monument on a tripod, and it stays there for the rest of the week."
Majewski said she's trying to carry on Polish traditions in memory of her mother, who passed away in August.
“We do it for our parents,” she said.

Katie Boulter bounces back to winning ways as Cameron Norrie defeated on return
There were mixed fortunes for Katie Boulter and Cameron Norrie.
Katie Boulter returned to winning ways at the Ningbo Open but Cameron Norrie's ATP Tour comeback ended in defeat.
Former British number one Norrie had not played a main tour match since July after suffering a forearm injury that ruled him out of the Olympics and the US Open.
But the 29-year-old, who returned to action at a second-tier Challenger event last week, was unable to extend his stay at the Nordic Open in Stockholm, losing 6-4 6-4 in the first round to Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic.
Fellow British player Jacob Fearnley is through to the second round, though, the Scot continuing his remarkable run with a 6-2 7-6 (5) win over France's Corentin Moutet.
The 23-year-old recently broke into the top 100 for the first time after soaring up the rankings since leaving college in the United States in the spring.
He came through qualifying in Sweden on the back of two titles on the Challenger Tour and extended his unbeaten sequence to 13 consecutive matches with his first tour-level victory outside Britain.
Boulter's form has tailed off since the grass-court season but she shrugged off seven double faults and a lengthy rain delay in a dominant 6-3 6-2 victory over veteran Italian Sara Errani.
Harriet Dart was emotional after battling to a three-hour 3-6 7-5 7-5 win over Laura Siegemund in the first round of the Japan Open, ending a three-match losing run.
Dan Evans, meanwhile, was also victorious, following up his two wins in qualifying at the Almaty Open with a 6-2 7-6 (4) win over Taro Daniel as he bids to push back towards the top 100.

Automotive aftermarket sheet metal manufacturing has been an industry standard since the 1970s and many times the reputation for these parts is less than good.

Air India flight diverts to Nunavut airport after online security threat
An Air India flight, en route from Delhi to Chicago, was diverted to Iqaluit International airport in Nunavut Tuesday morning following an online security threat.
Prague, a city as famous for its beer as its historic architecture, is set to ban late-night bar crawls, seeking to end its reputation as a party destination.
The Czech capital is the latest European tourism hot spot pushing back on crowds, amid concerns about the impact on locals’ quality of life.
Prague’s deputy mayor, Jiri Pospisil, said the city wants to discourage tourists who come “for a short time only to get drunk” in favor of “a more cultured, wealthier tourist,” according to the AFP news agency. Fellow deputy mayor Zdenek Hrib said the ban, which is yet to be made law, will take place between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. local time.
Over the past two decades, partly thanks to the boom in budget airlines, Prague has become a go-to destination for bachelor and bachelorette parties, particularly from the UK.
The news, announced on Monday, follows complaints from residents in Prague 1, the city’s historic district – home to the UNESCO-protected Old Town Square, Prague Castle and the Charles Bridge – over noise caused by rowdy pub crawls.
Vaclav Starek, head of the Czech Association of Hotels and Restaurants, praised the decision, telling AFP that “trips to the centre in search of beer have been a problem for local people and for other tourists too.”
The ban only impacts agency-organized group tours, and will not prevent individual groups organizing their own bar crawl or staying out late drinking. As Starek pointed out, “nobody will be banned from going to a pub.”
Simon Old, who works as the Prague specialist for StagWeb.co.uk and GoHen.com, two UK-based tour agencies that organize “stag and hen” bachelor and bachelorette parties for Brits abroad, suggested the ban won’t “deter stags and hens from heading to Prague at all.”
Calling the ban “half-hearted,” in a statement provided to CNN Travel, Old added that “whilst they’re well within their rights to try and curb anti-social behavior, people will just do their own pub crawls or do them earlier on.”
“Being a destination that has profited for years on its reputation for being a bit of a party city, it seems like they’re trying to have their cake and eat it with this,” he said.
Prague joins many cities across Europe that have been pushing back against tourists in recent months. Officials in Venice, Italy recently limited tour group sizes to 25 people and banned megaphones, while Barcelona’s mayor plans to end apartment rentals for tourists by 2028.

(MENAFN- IANS) Bengaluru, Oct 15 (IANS) As India gears up for their three-match Test series against New Zealand, captain Rohit Sharma has made it clear that building a deep and reliable bench strength, particularly in the fast-bowling department, is a top priority.
Speaking on the eve of the first Test in Bengaluru, Rohit emphasized the importance of creating a pool of eight or nine fast bowlers who can step into the playing XI at any moment.
“We want to create a bench strength where tomorrow, if anything happens to anyone, we are not worried or too heavily reliant on a few individuals. That's not the right thing to do,” Rohit said, pointing to the need for India to move beyond relying on just a few key individuals.
His goal is to ensure that there are enough ready replacements, especially in the event of injuries, to keep the team competitive and prepared.
"We want to create guys where even if there are injuries, we have got someone to quickly step in and take that role.
"It's not about three or four options. We want to try and do that like, you know, when it comes to batting, there are a lot of options. We want to create the same with the bowlers as well."
India's 15-member squad for the New Zealand series has been bolstered with traveling reserves Harshit Rana, Mayank Yadav, and Nitish Kumar Reddy. Rohit explained that these young fast bowlers are being closely monitored to assess their potential for future tours, including the upcoming five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, starting on November 22.
"You know, the reason we wanted to keep them close to us was because we are thinking of them to take them to Australia," Rohit said. The five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy begins on November 22. "We just want to monitor them and see their workload. We have seen some talent in them. I understand that they have not played a lot of red-ball cricket, but when you see a talent, you want to try and groom them.
"You want to try and bring them as close to the team as possible. And in a short period of time, they have shown they have some ability as well. So, we want to keep them with the team and see whether they will be ready for international cricket or not, especially Test cricket, because Test cricket is a different ball game compared to white ball cricket. So, we want to keep them, we want to see what they can offer us, and have more options with us, more than anything else.
"Nitish and Harshit both obviously are quite talented individuals, and in the future obviously they are going to provide a lot of stability to the team. So, just want to see what they are capable of, what they have to offer."
Mayank Yadav, in particular, has caught the attention of Indian selectors with his blistering pace, reaching speeds of 155kph during IPL 2024. However, with his history of injuries, Rohit stressed the importance of managing his workload carefully.
"Mayank obviously has shown what he can do, but we just want to be very careful with him, he has had a lot of injuries in the past," Rohit said. "So, we want to progress him, not rapidly, we want to just see every day how he feels.
"We are trying to build his workloads with the red ball. He has not played a lot of red-ball cricket at all. So, for us, it's important that we try and build them gradually, rather than just getting them into international cricket straight away.
Rohit also acknowledged the differences between white-ball and red-ball cricket, explaining that while formats like T20 allow a quick glimpse into a player's talent, Test cricket demands stamina and endurance over five days. India's approach, he said, will be to groom these emerging talents gradually, preparing them for the rigors of international Test cricket.
The first Test, however, faces potential disruption from rain, with relentless showers in Bengaluru forcing the Indian team to cancel their final training session. Rohit remained non-committal about the playing XI, stating that the decision would be based on pitch conditions and weather on match day.
"It all depends on the conditions now. Even today, there has been a lot of rain. The pitch is under the covers. So, we want to take that call when we come here in the morning tomorrow," Rohit said. "And again, it depends on match-to-match, what sort of pitch we play on. Based on that, we want to decide what is going to be our best playing XI. We keep our options open for playing three seamers and three spinners as well."

Happy shouts and laughter fill the cafeteria at Locust Grove Baptist Church in New Market, Alabama — a small town just outside of Huntsville, in the northern part of the state.
While the grandparents eat dinner, their grandchildren chase each other around the tables.
They call themselves “grandfamilies.” Everyone here knows each other.
It’s the quarterly meeting of a group called Grandparents as Parents, a time when they can get the kids together and catch up over spaghetti, Caesar salad, and homemade chocolate mud pie.
But beneath all the joyful camaraderie lie tough stories. These personal histories and traumas bubble up casually, as they can in conversations between people with shared experiences.
“My daughter is addicted to drugs,” explains Donna Standridge.
She’s seated at a table with her husband, Jeff. Between bites, she’s keeping an eye on one of her grandsons. He’s desperate for her attention, hanging onto her arm, crying “Mawmaw! Mawmaw! Mawmaw!” as she tries to eat and talk.
Standridge is 55, Jeff is 66. Instead of retiring or traveling, they’re raising four grandsons — ages 11, 7, 5 and 3 — in nearby Jefferson County.
“Opioids is where it all began,” Standridge says of her daughter’s struggles. In a story that echoes so many others, Standridge says her daughter’s opioid use disorder started with prescription painkillers, before eventually moving to heroin and finally, fentanyl.
Standridge says her daughter loves her sons and has had periods of sobriety. At times, she’s been in treatment and made progress. Other times, she’s gone back to using. The back and forth, Standridge says, is hard on the kids. That’s why she and her husband stepped in to care for them.
“Because of the addiction and being in active addiction, relapsing and stuff when she was clean, it wasn't a healthy environment for them.”
Parental addiction is driving formation of new ‘grandfamilies’
There was another reason these grandfamilies had gathered at the church on Aug. 22 — besides support and community. The Standridges and about 15 other families were here to learn about a new pilot program just approved by the state legislature.
Alabama has received almost $100 million dollars from legal settlements with opioid manufacturers and distributors like Cardinal Health and McKesson and pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens.
In January, the Alabama Department of Mental Health appropriated $280,000 for grandparents like these, thrust into a new phase of parenting because of their children’s struggles with opioid use disorder.
The new pilot will be managed jointly by the Alabama Department of Mental Health (ADMH) and the Alabama Department of Senior Services (ADSS).
More than 2.5 million children in the U.S. are raised by grandfamilies — grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other extended family members — when their parents are unable to care for them, according to the 2022 "State of Grandfamilies" report from Generations United, a national advocacy group.
Parental substance use, especially the rise of opioids, is a key driver behind this trend, with other family members stepping in to prevent children from entering foster care.
In Alabama, 48% of foster care entries list parental substance use as the reason for children entering the system.
Yet, the grandfamilies at this church often struggle without the formal support systems available to foster families
The funds from the new pilot program come from the opioid settlement funds the state has received thus far. Advocates say the estimated $1,000-$2,000 per family is not enough to cover the expenses that come with raising a child — much less multiple children — but it’s a good first step.
Other states may follow Alabama’s experiment
The payments are expected this fall, for grandfamilies in three counties: Madison, Coffee, and Escambia, in the northern, middle, and southern part of the state, respectively.
For the grandparents at the church, any support would be helpful. Standridge reflects that people often focus on drug users when thinking about the opioid epidemic. But it’s their families — especially the children — who must live with the impacts — and who need support as well.
“We're the silent victims, if you will,” she says.
In Alabama, grandfamilies in Alabama don’t have access to certain welfare programs, like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). This new program is supposed to help alleviate that.
Unfortunately, Standridge learned later that evening, during the presentation, that her family wouldn’t qualify for the pilot payments this year, because they don’t live in one of the three counties in the pilot.
Still, Keith Lowhorne, the founder of Grandparents as Parents, is excited for the families that will be helped.
“This is like a dream come true. You’ve got grandparents that are suffering,” Lowhorne says.
As far as he knows, this is the first time that opioid settlement funds will be directed towards grandparents or relative caregivers over age 55 raising their grandchildren because of opioids.
“Alabama is not known for being first about anything,” Lowhorne says. “As far as we know, and as far as everyone has told us, this is the first for the country. We are extremely proud of that.”
Other states, such as Nevada, will soon be following suit in using settlement money to help grandfamilies, according to Lowhorne. He’s been contacted by organizations like Foster Kinship, a statewide support program in Nevada.
Using opioid settlement funds in this way is essential for placing kids with family members, instead of entering the foster care system, according to Ali Caliendo, founder and director of Nevada’s Foster Kinship.
“Every state should be allocating a portion of their settlement dollars to families raising children who are victims,” Caliendo says.
Raising grandkids later in life, on limited incomes
These grandparents have stepped up, doing the work of raising children, despite their limited resources, Caliendo says. It’s true that they are motivated by love — but love isn’t always enough to support young children.
“Love doesn't buy groceries. Love doesn't get beds. Love doesn't solve medical issues,” Caliendo says. “So grandparents really do need extra financial support to make sure that those children can thrive.”
Lowhorne agrees that grandfamilies can face difficult and unique challenges. Many of them live below the poverty line and survive on fixed incomes from pensions, Social Security, or disability payments. And because grandparents are older, getting a job can be difficult — or just not an option for many.
“Some of them are living on $1,500 a month,” Lowhorne says. “And that's not very much money these days when you're trying to take care of a kid, possibly a baby.
In addition, Lowhorne knows grandparents who are caring for premature babies with medical issues, or infants born dependent on opioids because of the mother’s substance use.
Older children have challenges as well, Lowhorne adds, including histories of trauma, abuse or neglect.
Three counties across Alabama will receive funds
Under the pilot, Madison County, where New Market is located, will receive just over $90,000 for the year.
Families will apply for the money and could get a one-time payment between $1,000-$2,000.
Lowhorne concedes that the payment doesn’t come close to helping with all the needs, but it still “makes a world of a difference” to these grandfamilies.
Grandparents will be able to use the money to buy groceries, pay bills, obtain dental care or to enroll the kids in sports programs to keep them active. Funds can also be used for school supplies or uniforms.
Lowhorne and his wife are raising a granddaughter, and he had just taken her shopping earlier that day for a school uniform.
“Let me tell you, I learned some things on how to shop with a young, seven-year-old girl,” he says, laughing. “But it was fun. We had a good time. She said it was a daughter-daddy day.”
While the state’s first round of settlement funds is now being distributed, Alabama expects hundreds of millions more in the coming decade. Lowhorne hopes that Alabama officials will continue to distribute that money to grandfamilies, and become a model for other states as well.
“We want other states to follow because other states are just like Alabama,” Lowhorne says. “You’ve got tens of thousands of grandparents who are raising their grandchildren with hardly any help, if any help at all. Like in Alabama, they get nothing.”

Wall Street expects a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when Texas Instruments (TXN) reports results for the quarter ended September 2024. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on October 22. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While management's discussion of business conditions on theearnings callwill mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus Estimate
This chipmaker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.36 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -24.4%.
Revenues are expected to be $4.11 billion, down 9.3% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions Trend
The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.68% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.
Earnings Whisper
Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Texas Instruments?
For Texas Instruments, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.44%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination indicates that Texas Instruments will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?
Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Texas Instruments would post earnings of $1.16 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.22, delivering a surprise of +5.17%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates three times.
Bottom Line
An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Texas Instruments appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.
Stay on top of upcoming earnings announcements with the Zacks Earnings Calendar.

Foreign Office issues driving warning for beautiful holiday hotspot loved by Brits
Brits heading off on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday to Indonesia have been issued fresh new advice.
Brits jetting off to Indonesia have been issued fresh warnings from the Foreign Office.
Indonesia offers visitors a once-in-a-lifetime holiday with the gorgeous beaches in Bali, stunning waterfalls and fascinating natural landscape.
It boasts more than 17,000 islands and is home to 275 million people.
However, those heading off to the largest country in Southeast Asia have been advised by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) on what Brits must do before they drive on holiday.
Britons were told: "If you are planning to drive in Indonesia, see information on driving abroad."
This includes guidance on driving abroad on holiday, international driving permits, overseas driving rules, if you're taking your own vehicle, towing your trailer or caravan abroad and hiring a car abroad.
The FCDO continued: "You cannot drive using your UK driving licence. You can drive using an International Driving Permit (IDP) issued by the UK.
"UK nationals who live in Indonesia and have a limited stay permit card (KITAS) can apply for an Indonesian national driving licence.
"Before driving, riding or hiring any type of vehicle, ensure that you have the appropriate licence to do so. Check that you are covered by your travel insurance company."

Just last week British tourists were warned of a little-known rule change in Indonesia.
Previously, any tourists caught staying longer than allowed in Indonesia faced between six months and a year behind bars.
However, last week, the Indonesian government announced a severe crackdown - that those who overstay their visa could face up to 20 years in their prison system, or even life.
But now, according to the country's Director of Immigration Silmy Karim, anyone taking advantage of their visa system, or "foreigners who disturb public disorder", could find themselves spending decades in a Bali jail.

Air India flight diverts to Nunavut airport after online security threat
An Air India flight, en route from Delhi to Chicago, was diverted to Iqaluit International airport in Nunavut Tuesday morning following an online security threat.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin said Israel must take urgent steps to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza to avoid legal action involving U.S. military aid, according to news reports on Tuesday.
"We are writing now to underscore the U.S. government's deep concern over the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza, and seek urgent and sustained actions by your government this month to reverse this trajectory," they wrote in an Oct. 13 letter to their Israeli counterparts, posted by an Axios reporter on X.
The State Department and Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Representatives for Israel's government also could not be immediately reached for comment.
The reports come as Israeli forces expand operations into northern Gaza amid ongoing concerns about access to humanitarian aid throughout the enclave and civilians' access to food, water and medicine.
The United States last week told the UN Security Council that Israel needs to address urgently "catastrophic conditions" among Palestinian civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip and stop "intensifying suffering" by limiting aid deliveries.
The secretaries' letter cited Section 620i of the Foreign Assistance Act, which restricts military aid to countries that impede delivery of U.S. humanitarian assistance.
It also cited a National Security Memorandum that U.S. President Joe Biden issued in February that requires the State Department to report to Congress on whether it finds credible Israel's assurances that its use of U.S. weapons does not violate U.S. or international law.
U.S. officials earlier this year said Israel may have violated international humanitarian law using U.S.-supplied weapons during its military operation in Gaza.

Pakistan’s debutant cricketer Kamran Ghulam expressed his elation and gratitude after fulfilling his dream of representing the national team. Ghulam’s debut was nothing short of remarkable as he scored a sensational century in the second Test against England, playing a crucial role in Pakistan's fightback.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, Kamran Ghulam shared his overwhelming emotions. “It’s a dream come true to represent Pakistan, and I’m giving my all to help the team win. I thank Allah Almighty for blessing me with this century.”
The debutant acknowledged that the journey to this moment had been long and filled with anticipation. “I’ve been waiting for this chance for a long time, and I’m grateful that I could score a hundred in my first match. I played positive cricket, just as I do in first-class games,” he said. Ghulam also admitted that while the pressure was immense, he stayed focused on his game.
Despite the weight of national expectations, the batter revealed his determination to make the most of his opportunity. “For the last four years, I’ve worked tirelessly with this moment in mind. I knew I had to make it count when my chance came. When I walked out to bat, we were already two wickets down, so there was pressure, but I focused on playing my natural game,” he explained.
Kamran Ghulam concluded by expressing his pride in representing Pakistan. “I’m truly grateful to Allah Almighty for giving me this opportunity to wear the national colors. It’s been an emotional journey, but I’m proud to have contributed to the team.”

Vice President Kamala Harris’ support for electric vehicles (EVs) could prove to be costly to her chances in the critical swing state of Michigan.
"With Republicans beginning to embrace unions and labor, we are seeing a dramatic shift in voting behavior in Rust Belt States," Jimmy Keady, the founder and president of JLK Political Strategies, told Fox News Digital.
The comments come as the outlook for former President Donald Trump in Michigan has continued to improve in recent weeks, with Trump now holding a narrow lead of 0.9 points in the state, according to the Real Clear Politics polling average.
That lead represents a roughly three-point swing in the race since the end of August, when Harris held a 2.2-point lead over the former president, according to the historic view of the polling average.
Michigan is rated a tossup state in the presidential race in the current Fox News Power Rankings.
FOX NEWS POWER RANKINGS: HARRIS LOSES HER LEAD AND A NEW ELECTORATE EMERGES
Part of the reason for Trump’s recent surge in the state could be due to the support of working class and union voters, who worry that the push towards EVs could put many of them out of jobs in the not-so-distant future.
"I think it is hurting Harris because of the Biden-Harris agenda on policies that don’t work for the working class," Michael Markey, a former Republican Michigan Congressional candidate and financial adviser, told Fox News Digital.
The Trump campaign has leaned into the narrative, releasing an ad earlier this month that warned Michigan voters about Democratic support for EVs.
"Attention autoworkers: Kamala Harris wants to end all gas powered cars," the ad said. "Crazy, but true!"
Markey believes the message is hitting home for voters in Michigan, arguing the issue is one reason Trump and the GOP have gained ground in the state.
"It’s a slap in the face to the union workers," he said. "I think that’s why we’re seeing a lot of the polling trending in Republicans favor right now."
For her part, Harris has attempted to push back against the narrative, arguing at a rally in Flint, Michigan, earlier this month that we would "never" mandate the "kind of car you have to drive."
Nevertheless, Republicans have continued to hammer Harris both for her support of Biden administration regulations on tailpipe emissions, a push to phase-in EVs for newly built cars and heavy subsidies for EV production in the United States. They have also pointed to Harris’ plan during her 2020 run for president to transition all new vehicles built in the U.S. to zero emissions by 2030.
"They’re saying… ‘no one’s going to force you or tell you what kind of car you can drive,’ but they’re putting standards through the EPA that are basically mandating EV production," Markey said.
Markey argued that Michigan workers have a long history of being at the cutting edge of the automotive industry and do not want to see jobs lost to a product that is neither profitable nor in demand by consumers.

"The public is telling us what the next generation of cars is," Markey said. "They still want internal combustion engines, they want hybrids, but EVs… that’s not where the public is."
That could all add up to a problem in places like Michigan for Harris, Keady argued, noting the Democratic candidate’s struggles with traditional blue voting blocs such as unions.
"The Teamsters refusal to endorse is sign number one that Harris is in trouble with union workers," Keady said. "It is not just the Biden-Harris administration’s manufacturing policies that are hurting Michigan workers; their embrace of electric vehicle mandates will add an undue burden on middle-class families."
The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.

The UK government on Tuesday announced new sanctions targeting three illegal Israeli settler outposts and four organizations supporting violence in the West Bank.
The move comes in response to a significant rise in attacks against Palestinian communities by extremist Israeli settlers.
Foreign Secretary David Lammy revealed the measures as part of a broader effort to address the escalating violence, which has devastated Palestinian communities.
"The Israeli government must crack down on settler violence and stop the legalization of settler outposts," Lammy said in a statement, urging Israeli authorities to take action against growing settler extremism.
The sanctions target three illegal settler outposts namely Tirzah Valley Farm, Meitarim, and Shuvi Eretz.
These outposts have been linked to acts of violence and harassment, aimed at displacing Palestinians and seizing their land for settlement construction.
The outposts are illegal under both Israeli and international law but have continued to expand in recent years.
In addition to the outposts, the sanctions also focus on four organizations—Od Yosef Chai Yeshiva, Hashomer Yosh, Torat Lechima, and Amana—allegedly involved in promoting, inciting, or supporting violence against Palestinians.
These groups have been tied to a range of extremist activities, from providing volunteers for illegal outposts to offering financial backing for violent acts against Palestinian civilians.
Od Yosef Chai Yeshiva, a religious school in the Yitzhar settlement, has been accused of encouraging violence against non-Jewish people.
Hashomer Yosh, a non-governmental organization, supplies volunteers to support illegal outposts, including Meitarim, which was founded by extremist settler Yinon Levy, who was sanctioned by the UK earlier this year.
Torat Lechima, an Israeli charity, has been documented as providing financial assistance to illegal outposts involved in violence.
Meanwhile, Amana, which operates as a commercial construction firm, has played a significant role in establishing illegal settlements and financially supporting settlers linked to violent actions.
The UK's sanctions are a direct response to a surge in settler violence in the West Bank, where over 1,400 attacks against Palestinians have been recorded by the UN since October 2023.
The uptick in violence often coincides with key periods such as the olive harvest, a vital time for Palestinians both economically and culturally, when settler groups frequently launch coordinated assaults on Palestinian farmers.
Speaking on the sanctions, Lammy emphasized the need for accountability, stating that the Israeli government's inaction has fostered a "culture of impunity."
"Inaction of Israeli government allowed environment of impunity to flourish where settler violence has been allowed to increase unchecked," said the foreign secretary.
He called on Israel to halt settler expansion on Palestinian land and crack down on violent extremists.
"Settlers have shockingly even targeted schools and families with young children," Lammy added. "The measures we have taken today will help bring accountability to those who have supported and perpetrated such heinous abuses of human rights."

COLUMBIA — Two men from the Midlands and a California man and woman were sentenced after pleading guilty in federal court to their roles in a methamphetamine trafficking conspiracy and a related firearms crime.
- Andre Alexander Boulware, 46, of Columbia, was sentenced to more than 11 years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiring to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute methamphetamine.
- Victor Guzman, 30, of Long Beach, California, was sentenced to more than 18 years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiring to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute methamphetamine and possessing a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking.
- Alice Hortencia Velazquez, 30, of Long Beach, California, was sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiring to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute methamphetamine.
- Jessie James York, 44, of Lexington, was sentenced to 14 years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiring to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute methamphetamine.
Evidence presented to the court showed that from 2018 to 2021, Guzman served as a California-based source of supply for extremely pure “ice” methamphetamine, which was shipped to Columbia, South Carolina. Over the course of the conspiracy, Guzman was responsible for trafficking more than eight kilograms of “ice” methamphetamine to the Columbia area. Velazquez was a California-based facilitator/distributor for Guzman. Boulware received methamphetamine from Guzman and Velazquez and distributed drugs to others, including York.
On Oct. 29, 2019, law enforcement executed a search warrant at the Long Beach, California home of Guzman and Velazquez. Inside the property and cars parked at the home, law enforcement found approximately two and a half kilograms of “ice” methamphetamine, two 9mm firearms and ammunition. Guzman later admitted he had the firearms because of the dangers involved in drug dealing.
In August 2020, law enforcement in Columbia intercepted two boxes sent to Boulware. Each box contained approximately half a kilogram of “ice” methamphetamine. Further investigation revealed that Velazquez, working for and on behalf of Guzman, had helped Boulware obtain that methamphetamine, and that the methamphetamine trafficking conspiracy had been ongoing since at least 2018.
“Illegal narcotics pose a serious danger and public health risk,” said Adair F. Boroughs, U.S. Attorney for the District of South Carolina. “As these sentences bring an end to Guzman’s operation, we will continue to prosecute drug traffickers who poison our community.
“Driven by greed, these drug traffickers’ activities posed a significant threat from South Carolina to California,” said Robert J. Murphy, Special Agent in Charge of the DEA Atlanta Division. “The success of this investigation is proof that those destroying our communities with methamphetamine will be brought to justice.”
“These investigations speak volumes of the success we have in apprehending those that put poison in our communities,” Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said. “Multiple agencies working together can defeat the drug trafficking organizations.”
United States District Judge Mary Geiger Lewis sentenced all four individuals. Andre Alexander Boulware was sentenced to 135 months imprisonment. Victor Guzman was sentenced to 220 months imprisonment, 160 months on the methamphetamine conspiracy, and 60 months consecutive on the firearm count. Guzman’s 220-month sentence in this case will run concurrent to a 60-month custodial sentence imposed on Guzman by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for his role in an unrelated fentanyl trafficking conspiracy. Alice Hortencia Velazquez was sentenced to 84 months imprisonment. Jessie James York was sentenced to 168 months imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. Boulware, Guzman and York’s terms of imprisonment will all be followed by five-year terms of court-ordered supervision. Velazquez’s term of imprisonment will be followed by a four-year term of court-ordered supervision.
This prosecution is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) investigation. OCDETF identifies, disrupts, and dismantles the highest-level drug traffickers, money launderers, gangs, and transnational criminal organizations that threaten the United States by using a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach that leverages the strengths of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies against criminal networks. Additional information about the OCDETF Program can be found at https://www.justice.gov/OCDETF.
This case was investigated by Richland County Sheriff’s Department, the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the United States Postal Inspection Service. Assistant U.S. Attorney Katherine Flynn prosecuted the case.

2Nd Open Talent Hunt: Haryana Boxers Win Bulk Of Medals In Elite And Youth Categories
Date
10/15/2024 9:00:09 AM
(MENAFN- IANS) New Delhi, Oct 15 (IANS) Having proved their mettle over two stages of the 2nd Open Talent Hunt Boxing Competition, 48 boxers including 24 elite men and 24 elite women will directly join the national camp to hone their skills further.
The selected boxers had reached the summit clash of the on-going Combined National Talent Hunt competition in Rohtak and will now rub shoulders with the top stars of Indian boxing in the camps and subsequent competitions. The competition saw over 4000 boxers from sub-junior to senior age categories showcase their skills in Noida and Guwahati across two legs.
The top eight pugilists from both the competitions slugged off in the Combined National Talent Hunt competition with the Elite and Youth category and the Junior and Sub-Junior category competition to follow.
"We are extremely happy with the level of competition we witnessed during the 2nd Open Talent Hunt competition and the way boxers from Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh and some other states performed. The response to Open Talent Hunt has also given us confidence to undertake more such initiatives to spread the sport and unearth new talent," said Hemanta Kumar Kalita, Secretary General, Boxing Federation of India.
As expected, Haryana boxers dominated the gold medal tally in both elite men and elite women category but boxers from Manipur, Uttarakhand, Meghalaya, Jharkhand and Andhra Pradesh also proved that they were no pushovers by winning a few gold medals in the competition.
The winners and runners-up in the youth men and women categories will get a direct entry in the National Championships and good performance there would open doors for them to the national camps.

On January 6th, 2021, rioters stormed the United States Capitol building. To many of us, it felt like one of the bedrock institutional traditions of our democracy was in jeopardy: the peaceful transition of power to a leader elected by the people.
As inauguration day approached, Americans feared that more violence was possible. Thousands of National Guard troops descended on the capital to keep the peace. And our democratic institutions felt more fragile than ever.
Being an econ nerd, my mind immediately went to the work of MIT economist Daron Acemoglu and University of Chicago economist and political scientist James Robinson. The two, who co-authored the book Why Nations Fail, had done really important research explaining why institutions are so critical to a nation’s success or failure. I wanted to get their perspective during a critical moment in American history, when our democratic institutions seemed to be weaker than they used to be. So I called them up.
Well, yesterday, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which awards some of the Nobel prizes, also called them up. It awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences to Acemoglu and Robinson — as well as their collaborator, MIT economist Simon Johnson — for their research on “how institutions are formed and affect prosperity.”
It’d be one thing for Acemoglu, Robinson, and Johnson to simply argue that institutions are critical to determining how rich a nation becomes. But, being economists, they also did some incredible statistical work to try and prove it.
For example, in one famous paper cited by the prize committee, Acemoglu, Robinson, and Johnson found there was a “reversal of fortune” in the wake of European colonization of the Americas. South and Central America went from being relatively richer than North America before colonization to being relatively poorer afterwards.
Why did this reversal happen? Acemoglu, Robinson, and Johnson argued that it’s all because of differences in the institutions created by European colonizers. In the Northern United States and Canada, Europeans created “inclusive” institutions that protected individual freedom and property rights, enforced the rule of law, educated their populations, and encouraged innovation and entrepreneurialism — institutions that would serve the economy especially well with the coming industrial revolution. The reason why Europeans set up inclusive institutions here, the prize winners explained, was because North America had a smaller, less dense indigenous population, so the Europeans could settle in large numbers and set about governing themselves.
In South and Central America, where there were the Incan and Aztec empires, there were too many indigenous people for Europeans to simply move in and govern themselves. Instead, European colonizers introduced or maintained already-existing “extractive” institutions that were geared more towards exploiting and oppressing the indigenous population. These institutions were not aimed at, for example, protecting individual freedom, investing in and educating the population, or encouraging innovation. Instead, these nations got a set of institutions that would be ill-suited for them to succeed in a modern, innovative industrial economy.
Acemoglu, Robinson, and Johnson argue that these institutional differences persisted over time, explaining why there was a reversal in fortune — that is, why North America became so much richer than South and Central America. The paper finds a similar story in other countries that Europeans colonized around the world.
The Deion Sanders Of Economics
When I got news of the award, I got to say, I was really excited, especially for Daron Acemoglu. I’ve been poring over his research for many years. In fact, one of the joys of my job at Planet Money has been getting to speak with him on multiple occasions and being able to pick his brain.
Yesterday, George Mason University economist Alex Tabarrok called Acemoglu “the Wilt Chamberlain of economics” because he's “an absolute monster of productivity who racks up the papers and the citations at nearly unprecedented rates.”
Maybe it’s because Chamberlain was before my time, but, to me, Acemoglu is more like the Deion Sanders of economics. When he played football, Sanders was a superstar who could score touchdowns on offense, defense, and special teams. Sanders was also a star baseball player. More recently, Sanders became a football coach and has killed it doing that.
Likewise, Acemoglu has been a superstar in multiple academic disciplines and subfields. He’s made massive contributions not just to institutional economics, development economics, and political science (the area in which he just won a Nobel for), but also in realms like mathematical economics, economic growth, political economy, and the economics of technology and automation.
Acemoglu has been a fixture in the Planet Money Newsletter. In fact, Acemoglu made an appearance in last week’s newsletter! Acemoglu’s work was also featured in a recent newsletter on why artificial intelligence may be overrated; another on why artificial intelligence isn’t wiping out jobs even in areas where it seems to be really good; and another explaining Acemoglu's profound insights about automation.
And, of course, Acemoglu — and his co-author and co-Nobel-prize-winner James Robinson — appeared in a newsletter explaining their (now) Nobel prize-winning research into the role that institutions play in a nation’s economic success.
Given the Nobel news, we figured it’d be worth revisiting this newsletter from January 2021, which explored their ideas about the power of institutions and how they thought those ideas related to the United States during a volatile period in our history. Here it is (you can also read it here):
Democracy Under Siege
As we approach inauguration day, exactly two weeks after the Capitol insurrection, Americans are on edge. About twenty thousand National Guard soldiers will provide security tomorrow; more troops than in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our political situation feels shaky and our institutions fragile. It's like we’re living in a bad Tom Clancy novel. We couldn’t reach Tom Clancy, so we called up the authors of Why Nations Fail instead. We wanted to figure out if the insurrection is a sign our nation is failing, and, if so, if there’s anything we can do about it.
“I don’t think January 6th was a singular day of failure,” says MIT economist Daron Acemoglu, who co-authored the book with University of Chicago economist James Robinson. “What surprises me is why it took until January 6th.”
Drawing on decades of economic research, Why Nations Fail argues that political institutions — not culture, natural resources or geography — explain why some nations have gotten rich while others remain poor. A good example is North Korea and South Korea. Eighty years ago, the two were virtually indistinguishable. But after a civil war, North Korea turned to communism, while South Korea embraced markets and, eventually, democracy. The authors argue that South Korea's institutions are the clear reason that it has grown insanely more rich than North Korea.
Nations like South Korea have what Acemoglu and Robinson call "inclusive institutions," such as representative legislatures, good public schools, open markets and strong patent systems. Inclusive institutions educate their populations. They invest in infrastructure. They fight poverty and disease. They encourage innovation. They are far different from the "extractive institutions" found in countries like North Korea, Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, where small groups of elites use state power for their own ends and prosper through corruption, rent-seeking or brutally forcing people to work.
When Acemoglu and Robinson wrote Why Nations Fail almost a decade ago, they used the United States as an institutional success story. They acknowledge the nation has a dark side: slavery, genocide of Native Americans, the Civil War. But it's also a creature of the Enlightenment, a place with free and fair elections and world-renowned universities; a haven for immigrants, new ideas and new business models; and a country responsive to social movements for greater equality. Lucky for America — and its economy — its inclusive institutions have had a helluva run.
So, almost 10 years later, how do Acemoglu and Robinson feel about American institutions?
"U.S. institutions are really coming apart at the seams — and we have an amazingly difficult task of rebuilding them ahead of us," Acemoglu says. "This is a perilous time."
Yikes.
Acemoglu and Robinson see the rising tide against liberal democracy in America as a reaction to our political failure to deal with festering economic problems. In their view, our institutions have become less inclusive, and our economic growth now benefits a smaller fraction of the population. Some of the best economic research over the last couple of decades confirms this. Wage growth for most has stagnated. Social mobility has plummeted. Our labor market has been splitting into two, where the college educated thrive and those without a degree watch their opportunities shrivel, after automation and trade with China destroyed millions of jobs that once gave them good wages and dignity.
Acemoglu and Robinson believe that while factors like the transformation of our media landscape play a role, these economic changes and our political institutions' failure to grapple with them are the primary cause of our growing cultural and political divides. "As opposed to some of the left, who think this is all just the influence of big money or deluded masses, I think there is a set of true grievances that are justified," Acemoglu says. "Working-class people in the United States have been left out, both economically and culturally."
"Trump understood these grievances in a way the traditional parties did not," Robinson says. "But I don't think he has a solution to any of them. We saw something similar with the populist experiences in Latin America, where having solutions was not necessary for populist political success. Did Hugo Chávez or Juan Perón have a solution to these problems? No, but they exploited the problems brilliantly for political ends."
For Acemoglu and Robinson, more democracy is the answer to our political and economic problems. In a gigantic study of 175 countries from 1960 to 2010, they found that countries that democratized saw a 20% increase in GDP per capita over the long run.
Asked how we can stop our slide into national dysfunction, Acemoglu argues that political leaders need to focus on those who've been left behind and give them a leg up and a stake in the system. He advocates for a "good jobs" agenda that envisions policy changes and public investments to create, naturally, good jobs and shared prosperity (read more here). Robinson, citing the work of Harvard University political scientist Robert Putnam, argues we should find ways to transcend our political and cultural differences and connect with fellow citizens beyond our political tribes.
"We are still at a point where we can reverse things," Acemoglu says. "But I think if we paper over these issues, we will most likely see a huge deterioration in institutions. And it can happen very rapidly."
Let's hope they don't have to revise their book.

The first and most significant is Al-Qard al-Hasan (AQAH), a quasi-banking institution operated by Hezbollah without an official Lebanese government license.Read Hezbollah plot to assassinate former Israeli security chief foiledAQAH, originally founded in 1982 as a charitable organization providing interest-free loans to needy Lebanese Shiites, has grown into a major financial institution with branches throughout Hezbollah-controlled areas. Estimates by the US Treasury Department suggest that AQAH had amassed about half a billion dollars. However, Israeli airstrikes in southern Beirut last month allegedly destroyed the majority of Hezbollah’s AQAH vaults.Meanwhile, Lebanon’s commercial banking system is under immense pressure. Despite being insolvent on paper, these banks still hold significant cash reserves. However, many of Lebanon’s wealthiest bankers have fled the country, fearing potential targeting by Israel for their associations with Hezbollah.“I’m hearing from Lebanese bankers, including Hezbollah financiers, that Lebanon’s wealthiest bankers who can afford to fly have fled to Europe and the Gulf, fearing they could be targeted next by Israel for helping Hezbollah,” say former US State Dept. official David Asher.Read WATCH: Lebanese hospitals in chaos as thousands of wounded swamp medical staff“These Lebanese bankers, most of them billionaires, see the wind is blowing against Hezbollah, so they are not going to let it take millions of dollars out of their banks, which still have cash despite being bankrupt on paper,” he said. “They know that if they do, Israel probably will eliminate them, too.”Lastly, direct delivery of cash via flights to Beirut’s airport, particularly from Hezbollah’s patron Iran, has also been disrupted. In September, IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari announced that Israeli warplanes had begun patrolling Beirut’s airspace and would not allow hostile flights to land. While Hagari specifically mentioned weapons, sources suggest that cash deliveries have also been affected.Analysts in the report note that the terror group is “facing a very serious financial problem” and is now unable to pay rank-and-file members who have fled their homes. However, others caution that Hezbollah’s fanatical war against Israel depends more on the availability of food and ammunition than cash reserves.Read WATCH: Iron Dome intercepts several rockets over northern Israel HezbollahLebanonTerror funding

VPS Launches Strategic Partnership With Metcore International
Global testing firm VPS has launched a strategic partnership with mass flow meter company Metcore International.
The partnership is aimed at advancing industry standards and ensuring the efficiency and integrity of bunker supply operations globally, VPS said in an emailed statement on Tuesday.
"While MFM systems have gained global traction in bunker applications over the past decade, success hinges on more than just deploying the device," Darrick Pang, managing director of Metcore International, said in the statement.
"Taking the right approach in using the MFM system is crucial for ensuring compliance with safety standards, achieving operational efficiency and maintaining transparency and trust in measurement integrity."
The statement highlights Singapore's SS 648 standard and ISO 22192 as the primary standards for using mass flow meters to measure bunker deliveries.
"The MFM also offers the important opportunity to digitize the bunker supply chain, to further streamline this exceedingly manual process and in turn strengthen the transparency of bunker deliveries via MFM," VPS said.
"However, this will also require checks & balances as the bunker industry prepares for this digitization transition."

Voters who spoke with Fox News Digital in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, emphasized the economy's outsized role in the 2024 election next month, citing the struggles being felt by Wisconsinites across the state.
"I just know I was much better off when Trump was president," retired teacher Sharon Kaufman told Fox News Digital.
She explained that she considered how her family was doing under both the Trump-Pence administration and the Biden-Harris administration, and also looked "at all our investments and life and bills" before coming to that conclusion.
Tim Moss, who works for an alcohol distributor, explained, "the economy in and of itself is another big thing that the young people [and] older people are all stressing about."
"I think we'll be able to at least afford groceries" under Trump, Moss predicted.
"Gas prices were a lot better. Food prices were way down," said Diana Altwies, a forklift operator. "I went to the store the other day, I bought hardly anything, and I came home with maybe two bags of stuff, and it was over $50."
According to Sue Matuszak, who is retired, she could not imagine how families — such as those of her six grown children — manage to raise their own kids in the current economy. "I don't know how families really do it now," she said.
Matuszak's husband, also retired, stressed that Trump is "a businessman," and "that's what we need in our government."
'DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO HE IS': WISCONSINITES TALK HARRIS' MIDWESTERN RUNNING MATE, TIM WALZ
Altwies described Trump, who she supported in 2016 and 2020, remarking, "he's got a little bit of a loud mouth on him, but he tells it like it is."
For her, this demonstrates that Trump is fearless when it comes to speaking his mind and shows he is not afraid to stand up to anyone.
"Kamala, she just seems all giggly and hasn't really done anything they claim they have," she said.
Some of the other issues motivating these voters to support Trump again are safety, foreign policy, immigration and abortion.
FOR WISCONSIN DEMS, A 2024 WIN IN THE BATTLEGROUND STATE IS YEARS IN THE MAKING
"I don't like to see the babies that are destroyed every year," Matuszak said, explaining that abortion was an important issue for her.
Kaufman, on the other hand, explained, "I truly believe it should be with the woman and letting her figure out what she needs to do. It's a hard decision no matter what."
Despite advertising and messaging from Democrats claiming Trump would institute a federal ban on abortion, Kaufman said she does not believe such claims.
Matuszak also pointed to immigration, telling Fox News Digital, "I am so disappointed about the open borders that we have."
"I think if that doesn't get stopped, I think our country is really going to go down," she added.
Nobody who spoke with Fox News Digital in Waukesha County said they supported the Harris-Walz ticket.

The voters described seeing Trump and Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, signs frequently throughout Waukesha County, which they said was on par with both 2016 and 2020.
They also said they have seen very few signs promoting Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn.
Fox News Digital observed a plethora of signs in general in the county, with the majority appearing to be in support of Trump-Vance and other Republicans. However, in the downtown area of the city of Waukesha, a college town, there were clusters of Harris-Walz signs.

Waukesha County was ranked as one of the top 15 battleground counties to watch across the country, per U.S. News and World Report. The Milwaukee suburban county has developed this reputation given its shift over the last decade. While Republicans have an edge throughout the area, their lead has shrunk in the county during the Trump-era.
Waukesha County's movement politically has followed a trend away from Republicans that other affluent suburbs have also experienced.

Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), met with a medical team at Adiala Jail on Tuesday, following concerns raised by PTI regarding the former prime minister's health and demands for a medical examination.
According to PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, "At around 4 PM, two doctors, including an ENT specialist and a physician, visited Khan Sahib in Adiala Jail. We received positive news that, by the grace of God, Khan Sahib is well, and he even completed an hour of exercise today."
Barrister Gohar assured that PTI would soon obtain and share medical reports with the public, thanking supporters and workers for their concern about Khan Sahib's health.
Earlier, PTI had threatened to protest at Islamabad's D-Chowk if adequate medical attention was not provided. However, the protest was called off after the government assured that Imran Khan would receive proper medical care. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi contacted PTI leadership to confirm that a team of doctors would be sent to Adiala Jail for examination.

After weeks of trade rumors and speculation surrounding Davante Adams, he has finally been shipped off to New York where he'll join his old friend Aaron Rodgers as a member of the Jets. Although it was originally speculated that Las Vegas was seeking a 2nd-round pick for the star wide receiver, they settled on a conditional third-rounder to send Adams to New York.
It’s a conditional 3rd rounder going to the #Raiders that can become a 2nd rounder based on performance.

(Fixed for clarity). https://t.co/2eFVyYkbyj
Unless you're a Raiders or Jets fan, the most likely reaction to this news was, how will this impact my fantasy team? As is often the case when a star player moves teams, there are a lot of moving pieces and a multitude of players who will be impacted.
Here, we'll be taking a look at the future outlook of every fantasy-relevant player that will be impacted by this trade. This one has wide-reaching implications, so anyone with Jets' or Raiders' players on their fantasy teams should be keen on the fantasy fallout.

What does the trade to the New York Jets mean for Davante Adams' fantasy football outlook?
Former All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams reunited with Aaron Rodgers
Over the last five years of his career, Davante Adams' fantasy value has been driven by his ability to dominate the target share market. Few wide receivers are able to command a 30-percent target share, but Adams is one of them. In fact, he's hit this mark in five straight seasons leading up to this year. This trade complicates Adams' target-earning capabilities. Adams has never competed with a high-volume receiver in recent years, and Garrett Wilson certainly falls into that category.
The question becomes whether the Adams-Rodgers mind meld will trump the youth and budding talent of Wilson? The answer is likely yes. The narrative surrounding Aaron Rodgers and the importance he places on the relationship and overall trust with his receivers is very much real. Rodgers is the quarterback who turned Adams into a fantasy superstar, and the duo should have no issue hitting their stride after a brief hiatus.
Quick Fantasy Outlook: This trade is an overall positive for Adams. He'll see greater competition for targets, but the improved quarterback play and overall offensive environment lift his fantasy outlook. At worst, Adams should be viewed as a high-end WR2 following this trade.
The vast majority of these quotes will be sourced from the interviews that beat reporters conduct with players and coaches throughout the week. The Coachspeak Index (CSI) does a phenomenal job of listening to these interviews and picking out the key nuggets. In this article, we'll be taking a look at quotes (from CSI and other sources) and analyzing their fantasy impact. Some may be more serious than others, but it's all about getting a feel for coaches and players from information that may not show up in the box score.
WEEK 7 FANTASY FOOTBALL RANKINGS
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/ST | Kickers
Fantasy Fallout: What does the arrival of Davante Adams mean for other Jets?
Fantasy football impact for Garrett Wilson
Much like Adams, Garrett Wilson's fantasy value is tied to his role as the alpha receiver in an offense. Through six games this year, Garrett Wilson had been targeted on 29 percent of his routes and drawn 67 total targets which ranks 1st among wide receivers. His role and volume within this offense are set to take a step back with Adams in town.
As previously mentioned, the mental connection between Adams and Rodgers is likely going to lift Adams to the top of the target totem pole. Wilson is a highly talented receiver, but it's just hard to deny the chemistry between the two veterans.
This doesn't mean it's "over" for Wilson in fantasy. There is still a very real possibility that New York becomes a highly concentrated offense where Wilson and Adams account for over 50 percent of the targets. This would be a situation much like the Miami Dolphins where the passing offense flows almost exclusively through Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. If Wilson and Adams can effectively erase Adam Lazard and Mike Williams from the offense, this could be a situation where multiple top-15 receivers are housed in the same building. It's worked for the Buccaneers with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin as well.
Quick Fantasy Outlook: This trade undoubtedly caps Wilson's overall ceiling. His path to leading the league in targets has been closed down. However, this opens the door for Wilson to see improved efficiency and more favorable looks. This will likely be a condensed target tree, and Wilson should still be viewed as a WR2 in fantasy.
WEEK 7 WAIVER WIRE ADVICE
Full Waiver Wire list | How to spend your FAAB
Fantasy football impact for Aaron Rodgers
At this point in the season, Aaron Rodgers has been outside of the realm of fantasy relevance in single-quarterback leagues. He's hit 20 points in just a single game and has scored 15 or fewer points three times. He's been just the per-game QB22 so far this season.
Does Adams' presence in New York change Rodgers' fantasy outlook moving forward? Probably not. As a pure pocket passer, Rodgers needs to post an elite touchdown rate and gaudy touchdown numbers to even compete with the rushing quarterbacks in today's NFL. Rodgers' touchdown rate currently sits at 4.1 percent. In the seasons where he's been a high-end fantasy option, that number hovered between 7 and 9.1 percent. Dramatic changes will have to come to Rodgers' touchdown numbers if he's going to enter the conversation of being a top-12 fantasy QB.
Quick Fantasy Outlook: Will this trade help the Jets as a football team? Most likely. Does this change Rodgers' fantasy outlook? Not by much. Unless he turns back the clock and finds a way to throw three passing touchdowns per game like he did in 2020, Rodgers will be nothing more than a bye-week streamer.
Fantasy football impact for Breece Hall
This trade only slightly impacts Breece Hall's fantasy outlook. He's seen a 14.3-percent target share this year which ranks 3rd among running backs. This may take a hit and fall somewhere closer to 11-12 percent in future games. This would still be incredibly strong usage as a receiver, and Hall should still be viewed as an elite fantasy RB. Not to mention the fact that another talented receiver in the offense could lead to Hall seeing fewer stacked boxes and increased rushing efficiency.
Quick Fantasy Outlook: This trade should not dramatically impact your perception of Hall. His receiving volume may take a slight hit, but he should still be viewed as a strong RB1 option.
Fantasy football outlook for Allen Lazard
Adams' presence in New York slides Allen Lazard down to WR3 on the depth chart. Lazard was already a TD-dependent fantasy asset, but this trade pushes him even further down the ranks. He isn't worth a roster spot unless you're in the deepest of leagues.
Fantasy football outlook for Mike Williams
Signing Mike Williams in free agency was already looking like a failure from the New York front office. Now that Adams is in town, Williams slips into irrelevancy, both on the Jets' roster and in fantasy football. It also doesn't help that this trade came on the hells of Rodgers' calling Williams out after the Jets' MNF loss to the Bills for running the wrong route. He's droppable in all formats.
Fantasy Fallout: What does the departure of Davante Adams mean for other Raiders?
Brock Bowers fantasy impact
The Brock Bowers breakout season was already upon us, and the party will rage on without Adams in the picture. In three games without Adams this season, Bowers has seen elite usage. He has seen the ball thrown his way on 32 percent of his routes and leads the team in targets by a wide margin.
Bowers was already in the TE1 conversation as a rookie. He undoubtedly has the talent to be an elite asset, and now he has a clear path to double-digit targets in any given week. Those with Bowers on their roster should be ecstatic; it's wheels up for the rookie, and he could easily be viewed as the TE1 moving forward.
Quick Fantasy Outlook: Brock Bowers is one of the biggest winners of this trade. He already solidified himself as an elite fantasy option through six career games and now could realistically average 10 targets per game. It's all looking up for Bowers this season.
Jakobi Meyers fantasy impact
With Adams out of the picture, Jakobi Meyers becomes the de facto WR1 in Las Vegas. He's already thrived in that role, earning 19 targets in two games without Adams this year. Based on the volume, he's expected to see, Meyers can be a matchup-based Flex option.
