Not every NFL team will go into 2024 on a high note.
That surely was the case with the Detroit Lions on Saturday, who lost 20-19 at the Dallas Cowboys after a controversial overturned two-point conversion.
But, on the other hand, some teams are right where they want to be.
Stay in the game with the latest updates on your beloved Bay Area and California sports teams! Sign up here for our All Access Daily newsletter.
The Baltimore Ravens locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC after a 56-19 thumping at home versus the Miami Dolphins. The San Francisco 49ers did the same in the NFC after beating the Washington Commanders on the road 27-10, plus getting help elsewhere.
They can enjoy some rest in Week 18 before the postseason grind commences. But before we look ahead, let's analyze Sunday's Week 17 action with winners and losers:
WINNER: Lamar Jackson's MVP case
It seems every week there's a new favorite for the MVP, but Jackson might be here to stay. The 26-year-old led Baltimore to a 33-19 win at San Francisco last time out, then pioneered the 56-19 rout over Miami in which he completed 18 of 21 passes for 321 yards, five touchdowns and no picks. Regardless of how Week 18 goes at the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jackson might have stamped his résumé to receive his second league MVP award. It'd be deserved for the leader of the league's most in-form squad.
San Francisco 49ers
LOSER: Eagles stunned at home to Cardinals
The 49ers might have clinched the No. 1 seed, but they can thank the Eagles for making it much easier than initially anticipated. The then-3-12 Arizona Cardinals came into town with head coach Jonathan Gannon returning to the city where he used to be the defensive coordinator. Led by Kyler Murray's three touchdown passes and James Conner's 128 rushing yards and a touchdown, the Cardinals won 35-31 after a goal-line score in the closing seconds.
The Eagles have lost four of their last five games since entering their home game versus the 49ers at 10-1. They'll be on the road against the New York Giants to close out the regular season, and they also might've cost themselves the NFC East crown if the Dallas Cowboys win at the Washington Commanders.
WINNER: 49ers earn much-needed bye
While the 49ers' offense can get going in an instant, their defense has been quite poor since they beat the Eagles. Missed tackles and injured players piling up both have played significant parts in that, which further emphasizes how much they needed the extra week off. After losing three in a row earlier in the season, San Francisco responded from its following bye with six straight wins. Can they repeat that form and success once again in crunch time?
LOSER: Dolphins in big games
As good as Miami has been throughout the season, its inability to step up in big games has been a stain on its resume. Prior to the Ravens blowout, the Dolphins had lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills and Eagles in potential statement wins, with a close two-point win at home to Dallas being the sole standout. But even then, the Cowboys have faced similar questions, so someone had to give. It's important to note Miami did not have Raheem Mostert or Jaylen Waddle versus Baltimore, but the signs have been there for a while. The Dolphins will host the Bills in Week 18 with the winner clinching the AFC East. The NFL world will be watching.
WINNER: Bears claim 2024 No. 1 overall pick
The Bears are officially on the clock. In fact, Chicago earned two victories on Sunday. Justin Fields and Co. shined in a 37-17 home win versus the Atlanta Falcons, and the Carolina Panthers' 26-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars along with the Cardinals' win versus Philadelphia meant the Bears will own the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. If you remember, Carolina traded for the top pick Chicago owned last season and used it on quarterback Bryce Young. The Panthers sent Chicago a 2024 first-rounder in that deal, which ended up being the top overall pick since they are 2-14.
LOSER: Buccaneers delay NFC South clinch
Tampa Bay had a prime opportunity to beat the New Orleans Saints at home and clinch the NFC South. But Baker Mayfield and Co. came out flat in a disappointing 23-13 loss that saw all 13 points come in the fourth quarter. Mayfield completed 22 of 33 passes for 309 yards, two touchdowns and two picks, but it was Derek Carr who emerged victorious after completing 24 of 32 passes for 197 yards, two touchdowns and no picks.
Both teams are now 8-8 entering a pivotal Week 18. Tampa Bay will be at the 2-14 Panthers while the Saints will host the 7-9 Falcons, who are still alive in the hunt but need a lot to get in. Whoever doesn't win the division could be out of the playoffs completely with the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks currently in better positions.
WINNER: Mike Tomlin keeps Steelers fighting
Who would've thought a quarterback room of Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph could end the season above .500. But that's the case for Mike Tomlin's Steelers, who have went 17 straight seasons without a losing record. Pittsburgh beat the Seattle Seahawks on the road 30-23 to help its case in the AFC playoff race, while dealing its NFC opponents a blow. The Steelers will host the Ravens to end the regular season where they will look to emerge from a crowded conference.
LOSER: Bengals' playoff hopes fall in Kansas City
Cincinnati made an incredible run to stay in the playoff race without Joe Burrow, but its 25-17 loss at Kansas City has all but ended its hopes. Now 8-8, the Bengals are the very last team in the AFC playoff picture and host the already clinched Cleveland Browns in Week 18, though Cleveland will look to hold onto the No. 5 seed. Jake Browning completed 19 of 33 passes for 197 yards, one touchdown and no picks but was stymied throughout by Kansas City's defense. The Chiefs clinched the AFC West for the eighth straight year with Isiah Pacheco's 130 rushing yards on 18 carries standing out. | https://www.nbcsportsbayarea.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/nfl-week-17-winners-losers-ravens-soar-49ers-clinch-but-eagles-stunned/1686467/ | 2024-01-01T03:51:25Z |

SEOUL – North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered his military to “thoroughly annihilate” the United States and South Korea if provoked, state media reported Monday, after he vowed to boost national defense to cope with what he called an unprecedented U.S.-led confrontation.
Kim is expected to ramp up weapons tests in 2024 ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November. Many experts say he likely believes his expanded nuclear arsenal would allow him to wrest U.S. concessions if former President Donald Trump is reelected.
In a five-day major ruling party meeting last week, Kim said he will launch three more military spy satellites, produce more nuclear materials and develop attack drones this year in what observers say is an attempt to increase his leverage in future diplomacy with the U.S.
In a meeting on Sunday with commanding army officers, Kim said it is urgent to sharpen “the treasured sword” to safeguard national security, an apparent reference to his country’s nuclear weapons program. He cited “the U.S. and other hostile forces’ military confrontation moves,” according to the official Korean Central News Agency.
Kim stressed that “our army should deal a deadly blow to thoroughly annihilate them by mobilizing all the toughest means and potentialities without moment’s hesitation” if they opt for military confrontation and provocations against North Korea, KCNA said.
In his New Year’s Day address Monday, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said he will strengthen his military's preemptive strike, missile defense and retaliatory capabilities in response to the North Korean nuclear threat.
“The Republic of Korea is building genuine, lasting peace through strength, not a submissive peace that is dependent on the goodwill of the adversary,” Yoon said, using South Korea's official name.
At the party meeting, Kim called South Korea “a hemiplegic malformation and colonial subordinate state” whose society is “tainted by Yankee culture.” He said his military must use all available means including nuclear weapons to “suppress the whole territory of South Korea” in the event of a conflict.
South Korea’s Defense Ministry warned in response that if North Korea attempts to use nuclear weapons, South Korean and U.S. forces will punish it overwhelmingly, resulting in the end of the Kim government.
Experts say small-scale military clashes between North and South Korea could happen this year along their heavily armed border. They say North Korea is also expected to test-launch intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the mainland U.S. and other major new weapons.
In 2018-19, Kim met Trump in three rounds of talks on North Korea’s expanding nuclear arsenal. The diplomacy fell apart after the U.S. rejected Kim's offer to dismantle his main nuclear complex, a limited step, in exchange for extensive reductions in U.S.-led sanctions.
Since 2022, North Korea has conducted more than 100 missile tests, prompting the U.S. and South Korea to expand their joint military drills. North Korea has also tried to strengthen its relationships with China and Russia, which blocked efforts by the U.S. and its partners in the U.N. Security Council to toughen U.N. sanctions on North Korea over its weapons tests.
KCNA said Kim and Chinese President Xi Jinping exchanged New Year's Day messages on Monday on bolstering bilateral ties. North Korea faces suspicions that it has supplied conventional arms for Russia's war in Ukraine in return for sophisticated Russian technologies to enhance the North's military programs.
Estimates of the size of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal vary, ranging from about 20-30 bombs to more than 100. Many foreign experts say North Korea still has some technological hurdles to overcome to produce functioning nuclear-armed ICBMs, though its shorter-range nuclear-capable missiles can reach South Korea and Japan. | https://www.ksat.com/news/world/2024/01/01/north-koreas-kim-orders-military-to-thoroughly-annihilate-us-south-korea-if-provoked/ | 2024-01-01T03:51:28Z |

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones tip-toed around talk of their acrimonious split almost 30 years ago, when they had just teamed as coach and owner to win consecutive Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys.
Whether that breakup was the reason it took Jones so long to put Johnson in the team’s ring of honor doesn’t matter much at this point to both Pro Football Hall of Famers.
The bottom line is Johnson is joining Tom Landry as the only coaches alongside the 19 players and two executives in the exclusive group of one of the NFL’s storied franchises.
Johnson was greeted by the Hall of Fame “Triplets” who headlined his Super Bowl teams — quarterback Troy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith and receiver Michael Irvin — for the ceremony at halftime of Saturday night’s regular-season home finale against the Detroit Lions.
“Thank you, Jerry Jones, for bringing me to the Dallas Cowboys,” Johnson told the crowd.
Johnson capped his acceptance speech with a dramatic pause as he walked up to Irvin, turned and offered his famous catchphrase, “How ’bout them Cowboys!” He said it the first time in the locker room after Dallas won at San Francisco in the NFC championship game before the first Super Bowl victory.
“You can say whatever you want to about my human reaction or frailties,” Jones said before the game. “I say this today, he’s there because it’s the right thing. He was always going in the ring of honor, whether I put him in or my kids put him in.”
One of the theories behind the abrupt end of Johnson’s tenure in 1994 was a tussle over who should get credit for the dramatic turnaround in Dallas.
The Cowboys went from 1-15 in 1989 — the year Jones bought the Cowboys and hired Johnson after firing the only coach Dallas ever had in Landry — to the first back-to-back Super Bowl titles in franchise history to cap the 1992 and ’93 seasons.
“I think we’re past who gets credit,” Johnson said. “The two of us, working together, made history. When I say working together, we talked every single day. I don’t ever recall us having a difference of opinion.”
Others would suggest Johnson’s take is revisionist history, because he was incensed 30 years ago over suggestions from Jones, also the team’s general manager, that any one of 500 coaches could have won a title with the Dallas roster.
Barry Switzer did it two years after the split of Jones and Johnson, who were teammates at Arkansas in the early 1960s. But critics never stopped suggesting the 1995 title was with Johnson’s players, and the Cowboys haven’t even reached an NFC championship game since that season.
Aikman was working the game as an analyst for ESPN and hustled down from the broadcast booth to join the ceremony. He stood with Irvin and Smith during the presentation, which started with Johnson walking through a greeting line of dozens of players from his Super Bowl run.
“It means everything to me and my teammates and everybody that was a part of those teams,” Aikman said on ESPN during the first half. “And the circle has been closed tonight at halftime.”
After two years away from football, Johnson returned with the Miami Dolphins in 1996 and led them to the playoffs the last three of his four seasons. But Miami never got past the divisional round.
The 80-year-old Johnson, a Texas native, has been a Fox studio analyst the past two decades and was enshrined in Canton, Ohio, in 2020, three years after Jones.
Now Johnson’s name will be inside AT&T Stadium along with Landry, who led the Cowboys to two Super Bowl titles in the 1970s and is fifth on the career list with 250 regular-season victories.
“I don’t think anybody can ever imagine what this means to me,” said Johnson, who won the 1987 college national championship at Miami. “This was a special time in my life. This was something that paid dividends for me the rest of my life. We took over the worst football team in the NFL. Not only did we win Super Bowls, but we were able to put together the team of the ’90s.”
Because of that, the split left many, including Johnson’s players, wondering what might have been had he stayed. Not only is Johnson past the question of credit, he doesn’t think much about “what ifs” either.
“Sometimes I’m kind of like a gypsy,” Johnson said. “I’ve never been anywhere more than five years. Got the point after winning a couple of Super Bowls, almost to the point of, ‘I’ve accomplished what I want to accomplish.’ Sometimes you lose sight of what you can do because of what you’ve already done.”
Johnson suggested he and Jones weren’t communicating as well at the end of their time together in Dallas as they had at the beginning, when they both faced a firestorm of criticism.
Jones suggested he let the sudden success of the Cowboys go to his head.
“What Jimmy brings is a lot of the best of me, enthusiasm, what have you,” Jones recalled telling his parents just before the split became public in 1994. “When it’s going the other way, I don’t like myself. It’s taking away from it. That mentality probably caused me to be not as tolerant as maybe we could have gone.”
A sense of closure for many of those issues was coming a few hours later.

By Nick Wright
An emotional Naomi Osaka appeared on the verge of tears when she spoke immediately after her triumphant comeback, pledging to dedicate this next chapter of her career to return “as much love as I was given”.
Even as the heavens opened, a deluge causing spectators to rush for cover and Pat Rafter Arena’s roof to close, the four-time grand slam champion’s comeback at the Brisbane International could not be dampened as she closed out an at times tense 6-3, 7-6 (11-9) win against Tamara Korpatsch of Germany.
An array of powerful groundstrokes in the opening games announced Osaka’s return to the court, after a year spent away for the birth of her first child.
At stages in the opening set, her challenger held her own. However, after conceding an early break, Korpatsch was unable to force her way back into the first set.
Even after making an unforced error, working her rival around the court before mis-hitting a volley into the net, Osaka could not help but sigh, breathe, and laugh to herself. She was back.
Having been so open and raw about her mental health struggles even at the peak of her powers, Osaka appeared composed, assured, and when it was all said and done, privileged to be back.
“I feel like the last couple of years that I’ve played before I had my daughter I didn’t return as much love as I was given, so I really feel like that’s what I want to do in this chapter,” Osaka said.
“I feel like there was a time I was just a little kid trying to watch my role models play, so it feels pretty surreal sometimes to be playing on this court.”
It was far from the perfect outing come the second set – forfeiting a break deep into the exchange to give Korpatsch the chance to level on serve.
An unforced error then cruelled Osaka’s chance to take an 0-30 lead the next game, working the court brilliantly before a backhand found the net, only to then send a forehand wide the following point despite again appearing on top of the rally.
At 5-5 Osaka trailed 0-30 on serve, before bouncing back to hit the front once again.
Frustrations started to set in as the set wore on, with further unforced errors drawing her ire. Much to Korpatsch’s credit, the German made life difficult in the clash’s latter stages as the tie-breaker became a tense affair.
But while there may have been some rust, there is no replacement for the two-time Australian Open winner’s class.
Having lost two match points, while also being forced to save a pair of set points, Osaka at last overcame her plucky opponent – much to the delight of a Brisbane crowd willing her return to go according to plan.
“I was super nervous playing the entire time, but I was really excited to be out here,” Osaka said.
“It feels good to be back.”

Candidacy of 48 restored following court order
The Election Commission reinstated candidature of 48 aspirants including three from Awami League and 10 from the Ganotantri Party following the order of High Court until Friday.
EC sources said they also have restored the candidacy of two aspirants from Trinomool BNP and one from Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (Inu) and 32 independents.
These candidates needed to move to the High Court as their candidacy were rejected by either Returning Officers or the Election Commission during the hearing of appeal.
With the restoration of candidacy of these 48 aspirants, the total number of candidates for January 7 polls increased to 1,943 from 28 parties and independents.
With the restoration of 32 independents, the total number of such candidates now stands at 414.
Seventeen political parties, including the major opposition BNP and its allies, are boycotting the upcoming polls, saying a free and fair election is not possible under the current government.
AL candidates who regained candidacy are Enamul Haque Babul for Jashore-4, Abdus Salam for Mymensingh-9 and Shahmim Haque for Faridpur-1.
The EC during the appeal, cancelled the candidature of Babul and Salam on the allegation of loan defaulting while it cancelled Shamim's candidacy for having dual citizenship.
The EC on December 12 decided to cancel the candidature of all aspirants of the ruling alliance member Ganotantri Party as the party has no commission-approved central committee.
The party moved to the High court against the decision.
The Supreme Court on December 26 ordered EC to allow the participation of Gonatantri Party in the upcoming 12th parliamentary elections. | https://www.thedailystar.net/news/bangladesh/national-election-2024/news/candidacy-48-restored-following-court-order-3506981 | 2024-01-01T03:51:33Z |
SAN ANTONIO – Jayson Tatum scored 25 points, Jaylen Brown added 24 and the Boston Celtics extended their winning streak to six games with a 134-101 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night.
Derrick White scored 17 points against his former team, and Kristaps Porzingis added 14 points and nine rebounds in his return after missing one game due to a calf injury.
“We got stops,” Boston coach joe Mazzulla said. “I thought we were really good at doing both, protecting the paint and getting out to contest, which allowed us to get out in transition. I think our secondary transition, we did a good job of recognizing where the mismatch was and getting to it fast and playing together as a team through it.”
Devin Vassell scored 22 points and Victor Wembanyama had 21 points and seven rebounds for San Antonio. The Spurs have lost seven of eight.
“They are a championship-caliber team, that’s what they are out there for, that’s their goal, and they proved it once again,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. “Joe does a great job with them. They’ve got good talent, obviously, all-star talent; and they’ve got the grit. They’ve got the execution and getting better all the time. That’s a tough challenge at this particular time for our group.”
Boston closed out the month of December with a 12-2 record.
The matchup between the top team in the Eastern Conference and the last-place team in the West played out as expected.
“I can feel that compared to the past years, they have something extra this year,” Wembanyama said. “And, of course, it’s difficult to play against them and it is a good challenge. But I think we learned today.”
Boston led by as many as 37 points and sat its starters for most of the fourth quarter.
San Antonio never led while trailing by 35 points or more in a game for the sixth time this season.
Zach Collins sat out with a sprained ankle and lower back spasms kept Keldon Johnson out of the game. The Spurs’ offense struggled without the duo.
Wembanyama and Vassell scored San Antonio’s first 17 points. The pair combined to shoot 5 for 20 from the field in the opening quarter. The rest of the Spurs went 2 for 14. San Antonio finished 12 for 44 from 3-point range.
Wembanyama provided some of the few highlights for Spurs fans. The 7-foot-3 rookie followed up a reverse slam off an alley-oop pass from Tre Jones with a 3-pointer that cut Boston’s lead to 38-29 in the second quarter.
Wembanyama also took off from the free throw line while holding the ball over his head for a one-handed dunk against White.
“I’m not an idiot,” White said, chuckling afterwards. “I was hoping he would take another dribble, and then I could try to do that (strip or steal), but he picked it up and I never saw it again. So, I was just trying to get out of the way. That was crazy.”
Boston limited San Antonio to one offensive rebound in the first half, and held a 23-14 advantage in total rebounds.
The Celtics had six players score in double figures.
Spurs second-year player Malaki Branham (11 points) was the only player, aside from Wembanyama and Vassell, to score in double figures.

Warner said on Monday he had decided to call time on his one-day international and test careers.
SYDNEY (AFP) - Australia opener David Warner said on Monday he had decided to call time on his one-day international and test careers to spend more time with his family.
The 37-year-old, a key member of the Australia team that won the 50-overs World Cup for the sixth time in India last year, will play his 112th and final test against Pakistan at his home Sydney Cricket Ground starting on Wednesday.

It carries two payloads namely POLIX (Polarimeter Instrument in X-rays) and XSPECT (X-ray Spectroscopy and Timing). POLIX is realized by Raman Research Institute and XSPECT is by Space Astronomy Group of URSC," says ISRO.
As per ISRO, these are the XPoSat mission objectives

XPoSat will measure the polarisation of X-rays coming from about 50 cosmic sources. Thomson Scattering in the energy band 8-30keV will be measured by POLIX payload.
XPoSat will carry out long term spectral as well as temporal studies of cosmic X-ray sources. The XSPECT payload will make these measurements in the energy band 8-15keV
XPoSat will also undetake polarisation and spectroscopic measurements of X-ray emissions from sources in space using POLIX and XSPECT.
"The emission mechanism from various astronomical sources such as blackhole, neutron stars, active galactic nuclei, pulsar wind nebulae etc. originates from complex physical processes and are challenging to understand. While the spectroscopic and timing information by various space-based observatories provide a wealth of information, the exact nature of the emission from such sources still poses deeper challenges to astronomers," says ISRO.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — LeBron James thought he added to his legacy with another big shot on his 39th birthday.
The NBA’s replay center had a different view, causing James to call out the league’s replay process.
James made what he believed was a game-tying 3-pointer with 3.3 seconds remaining as the Los Angeles Lakers were playing on the road against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the top team in the Western Conference.
However, it was ruled a 2-pointer and upheld via replay from the league’s replay center in Secaucus, New Jersey, and the Lakers lost 108-106 on Saturday night.
“It’s obviously a 3,” James said. “My foot is behind the line. I mean, you can see the space between the front of my foot and the 3-point line. You can clearly see a white, the wood on the floor, there’s a space in between the front of my foot and the 3-point line. So, you know, Stevie Wonder can see that, champ.”
James, who spent the day in bed with a non-COVID-19 illness, scored 26 points, 10 in the fourth quarter. But it was his shot, and the subsequent replay, that caused his ire toward the league’s replay center.
“They said it was out of their hands,” James said of the explanation he got from officials. “The Secaucus, whatever, over there in the replay center or whatever, somebody over there eating a ham sandwich or somebody made the call.”
In a pool report after the game, official Tony Brothers said the review wasn’t conclusive enough to overturn the call on the floor.
“The play was ruled a 2-point field goal on the floor during live play,” Brothers said. “After video review, there wasn’t clear and conclusive evidence to overturn it from a 2 to a 3, and that’s why it stood as a 2-point field goal.”
James felt the video evidence was clear enough. As soon as Brothers announced the ruling to the in-arena crowd, James immediately went to the scorer’s table and pointed to the replay monitor.
“It’s super frustrating in the sense of what the hell we got a replay for?” James said. “What do we have replay for if even the replay gets it wrong? It’s like, who’s the part of the replay center? Like, do we got robots in there that’s making the Teslas? What’s going on? If you don’t see that, that is clear, that is clear.”
The frustration came after James said he woke up with an illness and stayed in bed until 4:30 p.m. when he got ready to head to the arena.
“I took a few more naps and then I finally just got out of bed at like 4:30, got a shower,” James said. “It helped me a little bit. Caught the 5 o’clock bus and, I guess, felt OK to play. I felt I could make some plays to help us win the ballgame.”
The Lakers play Sunday afternoon for the second of a back-to-back in New Orleans. James said he was unsure if he’d be play to play Sunday and would wait to see how he feels a day later. | https://www.kxan.com/sports-general/ap-lebron-james-questions-nbas-replay-center-after-late-game-shot-ruled-a-2-pointer/ | 2024-01-01T03:51:40Z |
Conspiracies afoot to bring third party to power: PM
Awami League (AL) President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said local and foreign conspiracies are being hatched to bring a third party to power.
She, however, said the countrymen will give a befitting reply to those conspirators through votes on the January 7 election.
"Various conspiracies are being hatched to foil the polls. Many are also involved internationally. They are working to bring a third party to power in Bangladesh. … we will give a befitting reply to them through the January 7 election," she said while addressing a grand election rally at Govt Sheikh Mujibur Rahman College ground at Tungipara this morning.
"What can the third party do? They can't do any development of the country. You had seen what they did in 2007," she said.
"We will take part in the January 7 election with our party's electoral symbol 'boat'. Go early to the polling centres to cast your votes to show the world that we can hold the election in a free, fair and neutral manner," she added.
Sheikh Hasina said she wants the 12th parliamentary election to be held peacefully.
The AL chief said she considers the support of Tungipara residents as her strength.
"I am taking care of all 300 constituencies and you people are taking care of me. I want you to vote for me as a candidate," she said, asking, "Will you vote for me?"
The rally replied yes by cheering and waving hands.
Earlier, the prime minister along with her younger sister Sheikh Rehana reached the rally venue at 11:15am and waived the national flag to the rally which turned into a human sea. | https://www.thedailystar.net/news/bangladesh/national-election-2024/news/conspiracies-afoot-bring-third-party-power-pm-3506451 | 2024-01-01T03:51:40Z |
New Year’s Eve boosts Cedar Rapids business
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG) - New Year’s Eve means a busy day for bars and restaurants across the country, including here in Eastern Iowa.
The new Big Grove location in Cedar Rapids opened about two weeks ago. Sunday, Andrew Mitchell, the general manager, told TV9 they’ve been busy since their first day, and New Year’s Eve was no exception.
Mitchell said he expected the new location would see about 2,000 people come through its doors during the holiday.
TV9 asked how important it was to see such a big numbers early on for a new business.
”I mean, it’s extremely important,” said Mitchell. “You’re trying to set the guests’ expectations, right? Because you go into a place for the first time, and you’re kind of painting...a picture in your mind of what that place is about.”
Big Grove hosted several balloon drops throughout the day, and then had a ticketed event for the evening. Mitchell said just for that night event, they were expecting around 375-400 people.

Taliban claims it killed dozens of Pakistanis involved in attacks inside Afghanistan
Story highlights
The tensions between Kabul and Islamabad have spiked after hundreds of thousands of Afghans left Pakistan after the country ordered "illegal" migrants to leave the country.
More than 20 Pakistani nationals were killed "in operations by security forces" between January and December of last year, a senior Taliban official in Kabul claimed on Sunday (Dec 31, 2023). Taliban's appointed defence minister Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid also claimed that scores of Tajik nationals and "hundreds of Pakistanis" were also arrested for their alleged roles in attacks against religious clerics, the public, and mosques during that period.
Mujahid, who is also the second deputy leader in the Taliban's administration in Kabul and the "military chief" of the extremist group since 2016, called upon the neighbouring countries to strictly monitor their international boundaries.

The tensions between Kabul and Islamabad have spiked after hundreds of thousands of Afghans left Pakistan after the country ordered "illegal" migrants to leave the country. The crackdown in this relation involved door-to-door checks for the documentation of migrants starting October 31, 2023.
Mujahid claimed that there has been a 90 per cent decrease in attacks by an Islamic State group affiliate in the past year.
The Islamic State (Khorasan) has carried out major assaults on schools, hospitals, and mosques. It has mostly targeted Shiite areas across Afghanistan.

The Taliban have barred women from Afghanistan's public life and work. The extremist rulers have stopped girls from going to school officially beyond the sixth grade. But on the ground, the girls — grade notwithstanding — are dissuaded from attending schools as soon as they turn 10 years of age. WION has found that at least in Nangarhar province, Afghan girls were unable to attend school beyond third grade. | https://www.wionews.com/south-asia/taliban-claims-it-killed-dozens-of-pakistanis-involved-in-attacks-inside-afghanistan-675403 | 2024-01-01T03:51:44Z |

North Korea’s Kim orders military to ‘thoroughly annihilate’ US, South Korea if provoked
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered his military to “thoroughly annihilate” the United States and South Korea if provoked, state media reported Monday, after he vowed to boost national defense to cope with what he called an unprecedented U.S.-led confrontation.
Kim is expected to ramp up weapons tests in 2024 ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November. Many experts say he likely believes his expanded nuclear arsenal would allow him to wrest U.S. concessions if former President Donald Trump is reelected.
In a five-day major ruling party meeting last week, Kim said he will launch three more military spy satellites, produce more nuclear materials and develop attack drones this year in what observers say is an attempt to increase his leverage in future diplomacy with the U.S.
In a meeting on Sunday with commanding army officers, Kim said it is urgent to sharpen “the treasured sword” to safeguard national security, an apparent reference to his country’s nuclear weapons program. He cited “the U.S. and other hostile forces’ military confrontation moves,” according to the official Korean Central News Agency.
Kim stressed that “our army should deal a deadly blow to thoroughly annihilate them by mobilizing all the toughest means and potentialities without moment’s hesitation” if they opt for military confrontation and provocations against North Korea, KCNA said.
In his New Year’s Day address Monday, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said he will strengthen his military’s preemptive strike, missile defense and retaliatory capabilities in response to the North Korean nuclear threat.
“The Republic of Korea is building genuine, lasting peace through strength, not a submissive peace that is dependent on the goodwill of the adversary,” Yoon said, using South Korea’s official name.
At the party meeting, Kim called South Korea “a hemiplegic malformation and colonial subordinate state” whose society is “tainted by Yankee culture.” He said his military must use all available means including nuclear weapons to “suppress the whole territory of South Korea” in the event of a conflict.
South Korea’s Defense Ministry warned in response that if North Korea attempts to use nuclear weapons, South Korean and U.S. forces will punish it overwhelmingly, resulting in the end of the Kim government.
Experts say small-scale military clashes between North and South Korea could happen this year along their heavily armed border. They say North Korea is also expected to test-launch intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the mainland U.S. and other major new weapons.
In 2018-19, Kim met Trump in three rounds of talks on North Korea’s expanding nuclear arsenal. The diplomacy fell apart after the U.S. rejected Kim’s limited offer to dismantle his main nuclear complex in exchange for extensive reductions in U.S.-led sanctions.
Kim has since sought to modernize his weapons arsenal and strengthen North Korea’s relationships with China and Russia. KCNA said Kim and Chinese President Xi Jinping exchanged New Year’s Day messages on Monday on bolstering bilateral ties.
North Korea faces suspicions that it has supplied conventional arms for Russia’s war in Ukraine in return for sophisticated Russian technologies to enhance the North’s military programs.
Estimates of the size of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal vary, ranging from about 20-30 bombs to more than 100. Many foreign experts say North Korea still has some technological hurdles to overcome to produce functioning nuclear-armed ICBMs, though its shorter-range nuclear-capable missiles can reach South Korea and Japan.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — With the calendar-page turn to 2024 on Monday comes 320 new state laws that Illinois residents will need to navigate.
Some will have a widespread effect, including a law banning semi-automatic rifles and another requiring paid time off. But others won’t have an immediate or noticeable impact, including a law that lets county governments consider a potential contractor’s participation in an approved apprenticeship program in determining the winning low bid for a project.
One law that took effect in 2019 but is still impacting tens of thousands of workers is an increase in the minimum wage. It increases to $14 an hour on Jan. 1 for non-tipped workers and will reach $15 in a year.
Here are some of the other major changes to Illinois state law as of New Year’s Day:
BAN ON SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPONS
The U.S. Supreme Court has failed to take up the case of Illinois’ ban on the sale, possession or manufacture of automatic weapons like the type used in a mass shooting at a 2023July Fourthparade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park.
The law bans dozens of specific brands or types of rifles and handguns, including .50-caliber guns, attachments and rapid-firing devices. No rifle will be allowed to accommodate more than 10 rounds, with a 15-round limit for handguns.
Those who previously purchased such guns must register them with the Illinois State Police by Jan. 1.
BOOK-BAN PROHIBITION
Libraries that indiscriminately ban books will not be eligible for state funds. They must adopt the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights stating “materials should not be excluded because of the origin, background, or views of those contributing to their creation.”
The library association reported that attempts to censor books reached a 20-year high in 2022, especially those with LGBTQ+ themes and those written by people of color.
PAID TIME OFF
Employers will be required to offer paid vacation for any reason. Workers will accrue one hour of paid leave for every 40 hours worked, up to 40 hours total. Employers may offer more than 40 hours and employees may take time off after working for 90 days.
AIR FRESHENERS ALLOWED
Police will no longer be able to pull over a motorist solely because there is an object hanging from their rearview mirror. The law was approved after Daunte Wright was pulled over in Minnesota in 2021 for having a dangling air freshener. He was shot when the officer, reaching for her stun gun, instead grabbed her sidearm.
NO VIDEOCONFERENCING ON THE ROAD
Video meetings, streaming or accessing a social media website while driving will be prohibited. There will be an exception for video on a hands-free or voice-activated device or an application requiring the push of no more than a single button to activate or terminate it.
NO INDOOR VAPING
Vaping or smoking an electronic cigarette or cigar in a public indoor space will be prohibited. The law adds electronic smoking devices to the list of items prohibited in indoor public places under the 2008 Smoke Free Illinois Act, which banned regular tobacco products’ indoor use.
LICENSE-PLATE READER RESTRICTIONS
Interstate agreements between law enforcement agencies must specify that license-plate reader technology not be used on cars driven by women coming into Illinois to have abortions.
SURVEILLANCE DRONES
Following the Highland Park parade shooting, lawmakers approved the use of drones by law enforcement to surveil “routed” or “special events.” The drones may not be equipped with weapons or facial-recognition technology.
DEEPFAKE PORN
Victims of digital forgeries known as deepfake pornography may file civil lawsuits against anyone who shares or threatens to share an image that falsely depicts a person exposing genitalia or other private parts or engaging in a sex act. Identifying the image as materially altered is not a defense to liability.
RESTROOMS MAY BE ALL-GENDER MULTIOCCUPANCY
Businesses have the option of installing restrooms that may be used by any gender simultaneously. Current restrooms may be renovated to accommodate all genders. Urinals may not be included and stalls must have floor-to-ceiling, locking dividers.
VOTER REGISTRATION FOR TEENS
Teenagers may pre-register to vote at age 16 or 17 while obtaining a driver’s license or state identification card at a drivers’ services office run by the secretary of state. When turning 18, the legal voting age, they will already be registered to vote. | https://www.kxan.com/top-stories/ap-top-headlines/ap-laws-banning-semi-automatic-weapons-and-library-censorship-to-take-effect-in-illinois/ | 2024-01-01T03:51:47Z |
Country risks isolation if polls aren’t free, fair
Election Commissioner Anisur Rahman yesterday said there was a possibility of Bangladesh facing isolation from the world if the upcoming polls are not free, fair and credible.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of a training programme for executive magistrates, held in the capital, he said the country's future will be uncertain if the election is not credible.
"There is a possibility that the country's economy, trade and other aspects would come to a standstill …. The whole world is watching us. If we can't make this election acceptable, our future would be uncertain.
"There is a possibility that Bangladesh may be isolated," he said, adding, "The election must be held in a free, fair and acceptable manner at any cost. And we have no shortage of initiatives to ensure that."
Anisur made the comments at a time when many foreign countries and organisations are showing interest in the January 7 polls.
A total of 1,943 candidates, either independent or from one of the 28 participating political parties, are expected to contest.
Sixteen political parties, including the major opposition BNP and its allies, are boycotting the polls, saying that a free and fair election is not possible under the current AL government.
Meanwhile, the US and some other countries have been stressing the need for a free and fair election.
On May 24, the US imposed visa restrictions on Bangladeshis who undermine the democratic election process.
The European Union exploratory mission visited the country from July 6 to July 22 while the US joint mission of the International Republican Institute (IRI) and the National Democratic Institute (NDI) toured Bangladesh from October 8 to 11 to observe the pre-polls atmosphere.
Based on the exploratory mission's report, the EU decided not to send a full-fledged observer team. It later said it would send a four-member team to monitor the polls.
About violations of the electoral code of conduct by candidates and their supporters, Anisur said, "Although we hope not to see any violations, there were some. However, there were fewer than past elections."
He added that incidents of violence centring the polls were also less compared to earlier polls. "In some cases, the incidents were not related to polling matters at all." | https://www.thedailystar.net/news/bangladesh/national-election-2024/news/country-risks-isolation-if-polls-arent-free-fair-3507631 | 2024-01-01T03:51:48Z |

Macron called for unity in country in New Year's Eve address as France prepares to host Olympics
PARIS (AFP) – French President Emmanuel Macron called for unity in the country in his New Year's Eve address Sunday as it prepares for the 2024 Olympic Games, after a difficult year for his government.
Speaking from the gardens of the Elysee Palace, with the flags of the Olympic nations behind him, he promised a civic and economic "rearmament" for the country.
And evoking the memory of former European Union leader Jacques Delors, who died on Wednesday, he said voters would have a decisive choice to make in June's European elections.
They would have choose between "continuing Europe or blocking it", he said.
"We will have to make the choice of a stronger, more sovereign Europe in the light of the legacy of Jacques Delors."
Macron was speaking at the end of a troubled year in which his government forced through deeply unpopular pensions reforms and faced summer riots over the police killing of youths.
More recently, the government passed a controversial immigrations bill with the backing of the far right, creating divisions within its own ranks.
And Macron himself came under fire earlier this month for comments he made supporting film icon Gerard Depardieu, who is charged with rape and facing a litany of sexual assault claims.
He has also faced criticism for his handling of the crisis in the Middle East that followed Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel and the subsequent Israeli response.
France would not forget the hostages held by Hamas, he said Sunday, or the 41 French citizens killed during their attack.
But his call last week for a lasting ceasefire in Gaza during a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has so far fallen on deaf ears. | https://dunyanews.tv/en/Sports/781517-Macron-calls-for-unity-as-France-prepares-to-host-Olympics | 2024-01-01T03:51:49Z |

Quad Cities family surprised with tickets to the Citrus Bowl
ROCK ISLAND, Iowa (KCRG) - Hawkeye fans have finally arrived in Orlando ahead Iowa’s bowl game against Tennessee. For one family from the Quad Cities, getting tickets to the game was a moment they’ll never forget.
Gavin Springsteen of Rock Island, Ill. was just four years old when he was diagnosed with stage 4 high risk neuroblastoma.
“He’s had a long road. He was diagnosed in September of 2020. He’s never technically been cancer free. He’s relapsed twice,” his mom Allie Springsteen explained.
But when you see how positive the 7-year-old is, you would never know.
“He loves going to the hospital, he loves seeing the nurses, and his football friends when they come to visit,” his mom added.
“That’s the best part,” Gavin said about seeing everyone.
Gavin has received treatments for his cancer diagnosis in hospitals in Madison and Philadelphia, but the Stead Family Children’s Hospital in Iowa City feels like a second home to the Springsteens.
“They know everything about him. His favorite thing is warm blankets. He will just hold up the 2 fingers and the nurses all know Gavin wants his warm blankets,” Allie said.
In august, Gavin was matched with the Iowa football team through Team Impact. It’s a non profit-organization that matches kids facing serious illnesses with college sports teams to create lasting memories.
“It’s a part of Iowa’s culture. They genuinely care about these kids,” Gavin’s dad Michael Springsteen said. “The guys come and they stay well beyond the time they’re asked to stay. They’re taking time out of their schedules. They have football practice. It’s incredible.”
Nearly every admission to the hospital a few football players will come and visit Gavin. One of their favorite activities is to play video games.
“Pretty much Nintendo and stuff. Nintendo is the big one. it’ gets very competitive.
Recently redshirt freshmen Jayden Montgomery and Jacob Bostick had a Christmas surprise for Gavin. It included new Hawkeye gear for his trip to the Citrus Bowl.
“Being fans for ever and never going to a bowl game, it was pretty special to get that news,” Michael said.
The family looked forward to the warm weather and Gavin said he was looking forward to visiting the players who come to see him.
“Getting to see them and hang out with them a little bit and have some peace and quiet away from my sister,” Gavin said he was looking forward to on the trip.

Tottenham end Bournemouth hot streak with 3-1 victory
Sports
Tottenham Hotspur brought resurgent Bournemouth down to earth with a 3-1 Premier League victory.
LONDON (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur brought resurgent Bournemouth down to earth with a flattering 3-1 Premier League victory thanks to goals by Pape Matar Sarr, Son Heung-min and Richarlison on Sunday (Dec 31).
Bournemouth were unbeaten in seven league games with six wins in that sequence and they will wonder how that run was not extended as they dominated at times in rain-hit north London.
Sarr gave Tottenham an early lead before he went off injured while captain Son and Richarlison scored late on after the home side had ridden their luck against a slick visiting side.
Alex Scott replied for Bournemouth in the 84th minute but it was scant consolation for Andoni Iraola's side.
Unconvincing as it was, Tottenham's win sent them into the New Year in the thick of the battle for a top-four finish.
They have 39 points from 20 games, one behind fourth-placed Arsenal and only three adrift of leaders Liverpool. | https://dunyanews.tv/en/Sports/781518-Tottenham-end-Bournemouth-hot-streak-with-3-1-victory | 2024-01-01T03:51:56Z |

"So I'll make that decision today, to retire from those forms, which does allow me to go and play some other leagues around the world and sort of get the one-day team moving forward a little bit. I know there's a Champions Trophy coming up. If I'm playing decent cricket in two years' time and I'm around and they need someone, I'm going to be available," he opined.
David Warner retires from ODIs ahead of farewell Test, keeps possibility of playing CT 2025 alive
Story highlights
David Warner is all set to retire from ODIs along with Tests following the Pakistan home series. He has, however, kept the possibility of playing 2025 Champions Trophy alive.
David Warner has announced that he will retire from ODI cricket as well after the end of the ongoing Australia-Pakistan Test series, which is also his farewell from red-ball format. Warner has made the decision on the eve of the New Year's Test, i.e. the final match of the series, between both sides at the Sydney Cricket Ground, SCG. Pat Cummins & Co. enjoy an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series heading into Warner's final Test.
'I know there's a Champions Trophy coming up...'
"I'm definitely retiring from one-day cricket as well," Warner said at the SCG on Monday (January 1). "That was something that I had said through the World Cup, get through that, and winning it in India, I think that's a massive achievement."

The decision, thus, puts an end to an illustrious career for Warner in ODIs. The swashbuckling left-hander made his debut in the format in 2009 and amassed 6,932 runs in 161 ODIs at an average of 45.30 and a strike rate of 97.26. He ends with a total of 22 hundreds in the shorter format, only behind Ricky Ponting's tally of 29 in the list of Australia's most prolific scorers. Overall, he ends as Australia's sixth-highest run-getter in ODIs with two World Cup titles (in 2015 and 2023).
Warner further added, "It was a decision that I was very, very comfortable with. To win in India (i.e. the 2023 ODI WC), from where we were, was absolutely amazing.
"When we lost two games in a row in India, the bond just got stronger with each other and it's not by fluke or by chance that we were able to get to where we were. The heroics of Maxi [Glenn Maxwell], the captaincy and the skills and execution of the way that we played against India was phenomenal, and not to dismiss the Kolkata semi-final as well."
In the 2023 ODI WC, Warner ended with 530 runs -- sixth-highest overall and most by an Australian -- with two centuries and equal number of half-centuries. Thus, he will now only be available in T20Is and look to help Australia win the 2024 T20 World Cup, in West Indies and USA, in June.
Talking about his Test career, he will look to end it in style in the third and final Test versus Pakistan at his home ground, i.e. the SCG, Sydney. He has 8,695 runs including 26 tons and 36 fifties.
The Australia-Pakistan third and final Test kicks off on Jan 3 (Wednesday). | https://www.wionews.com/sports/david-warner-retires-from-odis-ahead-of-farewell-test-keeps-possibility-of-playing-ct-2025-alive-675410 | 2024-01-01T03:51:57Z |

Arsenal falter once more at Fulham, Spurs close on top four
Sports
Arsenal's Premier League title challenge suffered another blow in a 2-1 defeat at Fulham.
LONDON (AFP) – Arsenal's Premier League title challenge suffered another blow in a 2-1 defeat at Fulham on Sunday, as Tottenham beat Bournemouth 3-1 to close in on their north London rivals.
The Gunners' high hopes of a first league title in 20 years have been rocked by two damaging defeats in four days.
Mikel Arteta was looking for a response after losing 2-0 at home to West Ham on Thursday but was left angered by what he described as his side's "worst performance of the season".
Arsenal remain in fourth, two points behind leaders Liverpool and level on 40 points with Manchester City, but having played a game more than both their title rivals.
"If we play like today we will be nowhere near. Today was a really difficult day to swallow," said Arteta on his side's title aspirations.
"It's a really sad day today because we didn't deserve to win the game."
Arsenal had started brightly at Craven Cottage as Bukayo Saka pounced to tap home his first goal in six games after Bernd Leno parried Gabriel Martinelli's initial effort.
But the visitors failed to build on their early advantage and Fulham hit back to snap a three-game losing run in the Premier League without even scoring a goal.
Raul Jimenez was badly missed during his three-game ban for a red card at Newcastle and the Mexican kickstarted the Fulham fightback with his fourth goal in as many games.
Former Arsenal winger Willian sent Tom Cairney free down the left and his dangerous low cross was swept home by Jimenez at the back post.
Fulham were the better side in the second half and they got their reward just before the hour mark.
Arsenal failed to clear a corner and the ball broke kindly for Bobby De Cordova-Reid to smash home from close range.
Only a fine save from David Raya to deny Cairney and the crossbar from Andreas Pereira's free-kick prevented Arsenal from suffering further punishment in the pouring rain in west London.
But enough damage may have been done to their title chances over the past week.
SON'S PARTING GIFT
Arteta's men could even be outside the top four by the time they are next in league action in three weeks' time as Tottenham closed to within a point of the Champions League places.
Ange Postecoglou's men shrugged off a mounting injury crisis to inflict Bournemouth's first defeat in eight games.
Fifth-placed Spurs are just three points off the top with the table tantalisingly poised heading into 2024.
"We're three points off the top so if that is the difference between having a great season and where we are, I'll take it," said Postecoglou.
"When you're trying to build something you will undoubtedly come up against some challenges. I am seeing progress."
Pape Sarr's precise finish into the bottom corner opened the scoring after just nine minutes.
But the Senegalese midfielder left the field in tears midway through the first half with an injury that puts his participation in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in doubt.
Bournemouth will feel they should have been level before the break as the in-form Dominic Solanke hit the bar amid a flurry of chances.
Instead, the visitors were picked off in the second half.
Son Heung-min is also set to depart for a few weeks to lead South Korea at the Asian Cup.
The Spurs captain signed off in style with a thumping finish from a narrow angle before Richarlison made it 3-0.
Alex Scott pulled a goal back six minutes from time, but it was too little, too late for the Cherries, who remain in 12th. | https://dunyanews.tv/en/Sports/781519-Arsenal-falter-once-more-at-Fulham,-Spurs-close-on-top-four | 2024-01-01T03:52:03Z |

Tennis: New mother Naomi Osaka makes winning return in Brisbane ahead of Australian Open 2024
Story highlights
The 26-year-old from Japan last competed on tour at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo in September 2022 and had her first child, daughter Shai, in July before stepping up her preparations for the Jan. 14-28 Australian Open.
Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka looked solid on her return to elite tennis after 15 months out as she beat Germany's Tamara Korpatsch 6-3 7-6(9) in the first round of the Brisbane International on Monday. The 26-year-old from Japan last competed on tour at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo in September 2022 and had her first child, daughter Shai, in July before stepping up her preparations for the Jan. 14-28 Australian Open.
Osaka displayed no signs of rust to break Korpatsch to love in her first game back and the former world number one turned up the heat again towards the end of the opening set to close it out in 38 minutes with a sizzling forehand winner. Twice Melbourne Park champion Osaka dropped serve for a second time late in the next set to squander her advantage but continued her clean ball-striking in the fiercely contested tiebreak to secure the victory.

"I was super nervous but I was really excited to be out here. It feels really good to be back," Osaka said after taking pictures with fans courtside. "I feel like the last couple of years that I played before I had my daughter I didn't return as much love as I was given, so I really feel like that's what I want to do in this chapter.
"I just really appreciate people coming out and cheering for me, because I feel there was a time that I was just a little kid trying to watch my role models play. So it feels really surreal sometimes to be playing on these courts."
Up next for Osaka is a clash with former world number one Karolina Pliskova, who received a bye into the second round. | https://www.wionews.com/sports/tennis-new-mother-naomi-osaka-makes-winning-return-in-brisbane-ahead-of-australian-open-2024-675426 | 2024-01-01T03:52:03Z |

Ctg-4 independent candidate can't contest polls as he is a govt job holder: SC
The Supreme Court today cancelled its earlier order that allowed independent candidate Md Salahuddin to contest the January 7 polls from Chattogram-4 constituency as he is still serving as a government official under the health ministry.
Chamber judge of the Appellate Division of the SC Justice M Enayetur Rahim also ordered the director general of Directorate General of Health Services and civil surgeon of Chattogram to take appropriate action against Salahuddin after an inquiry into the matter, Election Commission's lawyer Khan Mohammad Shameem Aziz told The Daily Star.
At the same time, the apex court chamber judge fined Salahuddin Tk 1 lakh for submitting nomination papers and committing fraudulence by suppressing information about his government service from the EC and court.
Salahuddin has been ordered to deposit the money of fine to the Supreme Court Day Care Centre in seven days, the lawyer added.
The SC chamber judge passed the order following a petition filed by the EC challenging its order that allowed Salahuddin to contest the polls for Chattogram-4.
The EC submitted the petition through Shameem Aziz to the SC on December 27, saying that Salahuddin is a government job holder under the health ministry.
But Salahuddin suppressed this information in the nomination papers submitted to the EC, and therefore cannot be allowed to contest the election under the Representation of the People Order, 1972, the lawyer said.
He said the EC, in the petition, appealed to the SC to cancel its chamber judge's order that on December 21 directed the commission to allow Salahuddin to contest the election.
The counsel said Salahuddin is a health assistant at Sitakunda Upazila Health Complex and has concealed this information to the EC, which is a violation of the law.
Salahuddin reportedly in the nomination papers mentioned business as his profession instead of government service.
Sources at Sitakunda Upazila Health Complex said Salahuddin has remained absent from office since November 18 without taking official leave. The authorities issued show-cause letters against him thrice but he did not respond. | https://www.thedailystar.net/news/bangladesh/national-election-2024/news/ctg-4-independent-candidate-cant-contest-polls-he-govt-job-holder-sc-3507151 | 2024-01-01T03:52:03Z |

Murray reveals 2024 could be his last on Tour
Sports
Andy Murray said 2024 could be his final year before retirement.
BRISBANE (Australia) (AFP) – Two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray said 2024 could be his final year before retirement after illness and injury hampered his preparation for the new season.
Murray's year will begin at the Brisbane International as he builds up for the Australian Open later in January.
The 36-year-old is ranked 42nd in the world after a frustrating end to 2023, when he won just one match in his last four tournaments.
Murray has previously battled back from what seemed impending retirement after undergoing hip surgery in 2018.
But he conceded that he will bring down the curtain on his career if the next 12 months follow the same pattern as 2023.
"If I was in a situation like I was at the end of last year, then I probably wouldn't go again," Murray told the BBC.
"But then if physically I'm doing well and my results are good and I'm playing well, then that's enjoyable and I could see myself still playing.
"We'll see how the year goes, see how the body holds up. If things are going well, I'd love to keep going. But if they're not, and I'm not enjoying it, it could be the last year, yes."
Murray, who won Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016 and also took the US Open title in 2012, is part of a golden generation coming towards the end of trophy-laden careers.
Roger Federer retired in 2022 and Rafael Nadal had an injury-blighted 2023, although the Spaniard has suggested he might try to play on beyond 2024.
At 36 Novak Djokovic is still hoping to add to his record 24 Grand Slam titles before hanging up his racket.
Murray revealed the psychological struggle with falling down the rankings after so many years at the top was taking its toll.
"When you have played right at the highest level, it's not that easy when you are going through periods where you are losing in first rounds, and maybe losing matches that you probably should have won," he added.
"At the same time, a couple of years ago if someone had offered me that I'd been playing at top-40 level in the world when I had been struggling with my hip, I would have been happy with that.
"But it is hard, mentally, so I need to do a better job of putting things in perspective this year and be a little bit easier on myself."

Ctg-4 independent candidate Salahuddin can’t participate in polls: SC
The Supreme Court chamber judge today cancelled its earlier order that allowed independent candidate Md Salahuddin to contest the January 7 polls from Chattogram-4 constituency, as he is still serving as a government official.
Chamber judge of the Appellate Division of the SC Justice M Enayetur Rahim also ordered the director general of the Directorate General of Health Services and the civil surgeon of Chattogram to take appropriate action against Salahuddin after an inquiry.
The chamber judge also fined Salahuddin Tk 1 lakh for committing fraudulence by submitting nomination papers suppressing information about his government service.
The order came following a petition filed by the Election Commission through its lawyer Khan Mohammad Shameem Aziz on December 27, challenging SC's earlier order.
The counsel said Salahuddin concealed the information of being a health assistant at Sitakunda Upazila Health Complex, violating the law. | https://www.thedailystar.net/news/bangladesh/national-election-2024/news/ctg-4-independent-candidate-salahuddin-cant-participate-polls-sc-3507611 | 2024-01-01T03:52:11Z |

Dinajpur, Rangpur: Eerie silence, tight security at BNP offices
While Awami League, Jatiyo Party and other political parties are campaigning round the clock, the offices of BNP, in district and upazila levels across Dinajpur and Rangpur, remain locked.
According to BNP leaders, the party offices of district headquarters, including Dinajpur and Rangpur, have remained closed since October 29.
During a visit to the BNP office in Dinajpur on Sunday, this correspondent found two police personnel guarding the office. After entering the premises, nobody was found.
This correspondent also tried to reach, physically and over the phone, the top leaders including Mofazzal Hossain Dulal, president of Dinajpur district BNP, from Saturday night, but to no avail.
Party sources said they are avoiding phone calls.
Shafiqul Islam, adviser of Dinajpur district BNP and general secretary of Bochaganj upazila BNP, said all party activities remained suspended since October 29.
Police have been guarding the district BNP office since October. The upazila level office, however, does not have much police presence, he added.
Md Aktaruzzaman, former BNP lawmaker from Dinajpur-4 (Chirirbandar and Khansama), said the party office in Chirirbandar opens twice a day, but no leaders visit it, fearing harassment. Only party activists visit the upazila office.
A similar situation prevails in Rangpur. Several policemen were seen guarding the BNP party office at Grand Hotel Mor in Rangpur city on Sunday. No leaders or activist were found there.
This correspondent also tried to reach several local leaders of BNP there, but found their phones switched off. | https://www.thedailystar.net/news/bangladesh/national-election-2024/news/dinajpur-rangpur-eerie-silence-tight-security-bnp-offices-3507926 | 2024-01-01T03:52:19Z |
Djokovic sparks Serb celebration in the midnight hour
Sports
Djokovic sealed a 2-1 win for Serbia over China on Sunday at the United Cup in Perth.
PERTH (Australia) (AFP) – Novak Djokovic got the party started for 2024 as he sealed a 2-1 win for Serbia over China near the stroke of midnight on Sunday at the United Cup in Perth.
The world number one kicked off the new season by teaming up in mixed doubles with compatriot and longtime friend Olga Danilovic to hold off Zheng Qinwen and ATP number 58 Zhang Zhizhen for a 6-4, 1-6, 10-6 victory.
Glancing at his watch after his on-court interview, Djokovic then implored the house DJ to fill in for five minutes before leading the RAC stadium crowd in a rousing countdown to the midnight hour.
"Thanks to the fans for staying this late," the winner of 24 Grand Slams said.
"We're glad you decided to spend this special night with us."
The Serbs were playing their first match at the competition while China now stand 1-1.
Djokovic won his earlier singles over Zhang 6-3, 6-2 while Daniovic went down 6-4, 6-2 to her Chinese opponent Zheng, the WTA's 2023 Most Improved Player who has risen to be world number 15.
The 22-year-old Danilovic could not praise her celebrated teammate enough.
"This was number one on my bucket list - to play with Novak and to win, I'm so happy.
"This was an incredible match, I gave my all and I'm glad to finish 2023 like this, it could not be better.
"I've looked up to Novak from the first moment I touched a racquet."
DEFENDING CHAMPIONS USA WIN
Jessica Pegula and Taylor Fritz had to fight through a deciding doubles match to conclude a 2-1 defeat of Britain on Sunday for the United States to stay in title contention at the United Cup.
The defending champions, who won the trophy last January over Italy, earned a 1-6, 7-6 (7/5), 10-7 mixed doubles win to claim victory in Perth after the sides split the singles.
"We have a team energy from last year here, we don't want to take a loss and let it die," said Fritz, who was broken twice in the opening set.
World number five Pegula added: "To get a win in this fashion after such a long day (on court) brings back a lot of memories.
"It was a big win today, especially after losing such a tough singles match."
Britain, who beat Australia to open their tournament account, took a 1-0 lead when Pegula crashed 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 to Katie Boulter in the singles.
It was Boulter's first win over a top-five player on her seventh attempt after she bounced back from a set and double-break down.
Pegula's 10th-ranked teammate Fritz kept the tie alive despite a thigh strain he blamed on over-training, defeating Cameron Norrie 7-6 (5), 6-4.
"I strained something but got through it," said Fritz. "Cam and I have played so many times (14). It's always a battle, always close."
In Sydney, Leylah Fernandez led Canada to a fighting victory over Chile with the former US Open finalist winning her singles rubber and then backing up in a decisive mixed doubles.
The 35th-ranked Fernandez got Canada off to a perfect start, cruising past Chile's Daniela Seguel 6-2, 6-3 in 73 minutes.
With Canadian number one Felix Auger-Aliassime sitting out the men's singles, 314th-ranked Steven Diez stepped up but was toppled by world number 19 Nicolas Jarry 7-5, 6-4.
It set up a deciding mixed doubles, with Fernandez teaming with Diez to battle past Seguel and Tomas Barrios Vera 7-5, 4-6, 10-8.
"I'm extremely happy with the way I played," said Fernandez, who was part of the Canadian team that won the Billie Jean King Cup for the first time this year.
The 21-year-old broke five times in her singles clash against a player in her first WTA Tour-level singles match in nearly two years, using the serve-and-volley tactic well.
"First match of the season so had some nerves, but happy with the way I was able to handle it," she said. | https://dunyanews.tv/en/Sports/781522-Djokovic-sparks-Serb-celebration-in-the-midnight-hour | 2024-01-01T03:52:22Z |

EC certificate doesn’t make polls credible
The January 7 polls need to be free and fair to prove that a government can hold such a national election through the Election Commission, Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Habibul Awal said yesterday.
"There is some political controversy over the next election. A section has boycotted the polls... universal franchise is somewhat curtailed as one side has boycotted it," he said while inaugurating a training programme for executive magistrates in the capital.
Sixteen political parties, including the major opposition BNP and its allies, have boycotted the upcoming election, saying that a free and fair election is not possible under the current regime.
The CEC said there was violence in the 2014 parliamentary election, which was boycotted by "a party", while there was some "controversy" over the 2018 election.
Overall, the credibility of the election has been undermined. That is why this election will have to prove at any cost that a government can hold elections through the EC, he added.
An election does not become credible with a certificate from the EC or a cabinet member, he said.
"Different countries have shown interest in the election. They have repeatedly met the government and the Election Commission to express their expectations regarding a free and fair polls," the CEC said.
He hoped that through a concerted effort from election officials and law enforcers, the upcoming election would be free and fair, praised locally and internationally, and seen as credible by countrymen. | https://www.thedailystar.net/news/bangladesh/national-election-2024/news/ec-certificate-doesnt-make-polls-credible-3507911 | 2024-01-01T03:52:26Z |
Eurostar warns of delays as London trains resume after flooding
World
Eurostar warned customers travelling from London on Sunday of potential delays.
LONDON (AFP) - Eurostar warned customers travelling from London on Sunday of potential delays after flooding forced the cancellation of all Saturday trains. The first Eurostar train left London St Pancras International shortly after 8:00 am (0800 GMT).
US tourist Mollie Burpo, 46, travelling to Paris with her family, said they had watched Saturday's travel chaos nervously but that the queue was "fast" and "well organised".
Engineers have brought water in two tunnels in Kent in southern England under control meaning that at least one tunnel was useable, Eurostar said.
But it cautioned that "there will be some speed restrictions in place in the morning which may lead to delays and stations are expected to be very busy".
The company operates services from London to Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam.
It announced late Saturday that all scheduled trains would run on Sunday after an estimated over 30,000 people were impacted by the last-minute cancellations.
Travellers were left stranded on mainland Europe while those at St Pancras scrambled to find hotel rooms or make alternative travel arrangements.
Some tourists said their New Year holiday plans had been "ruined".
A spokesman for HS1, which runs the route between London and the Channel Tunnel, said flooding was being resolved and "the HS1 line will be operational in the morning".
"We understand how frustrating this has been for passengers and apologise for the inconvenience caused at such an important time of the year."
The company has not revealed what initially caused the flooding which began Friday night when water filled tunnels near Ebbsfleet International in Kent, blocking the high-speed rail line.
The spokesman said the cause of the flooding will be investigated, but added that there was no evidence to suggest it was caused by a burst pipe feeding the tunnel's fire safety system as had previously been suggested by a water company.
Footage shot in the tunnel had shown water gushing from a pipe and submerging the tracks. | https://dunyanews.tv/en/World/781524-Eurostar-warns-of-delays-as-London-trains-resume-after-flooding | 2024-01-01T03:52:29Z |

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — With the calendar-page turn to 2024 on Monday comes 320 new state laws that Illinois residents will need to navigate.
Some will have a widespread effect, including a law banning semi-automatic rifles and another requiring paid time off. But others won’t have an immediate or noticeable impact, including a law that lets county governments consider a potential contractor’s participation in an approved apprenticeship program in determining the winning low bid for a project.
One law that took effect in 2019 but is still impacting tens of thousands of workers is an increase in the minimum wage. It increases to $14 an hour on Jan. 1 for non-tipped workers and will reach $15 in a year.
Here are some of the other major changes to Illinois state law as of New Year’s Day:
BAN ON SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPONS
The U.S. Supreme Court has failed to take up the case of Illinois’ ban on the sale, possession or manufacture of automatic weapons like the type used in a mass shooting at a 2023July Fourthparade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park.
The law bans dozens of specific brands or types of rifles and handguns, including .50-caliber guns, attachments and rapid-firing devices. No rifle will be allowed to accommodate more than 10 rounds, with a 15-round limit for handguns.
Those who previously purchased such guns must register them with the Illinois State Police by Jan. 1.
BOOK-BAN PROHIBITION
Libraries that indiscriminately ban books will not be eligible for state funds. They must adopt the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights stating “materials should not be excluded because of the origin, background, or views of those contributing to their creation.”
The library association reported that attempts to censor books reached a 20-year high in 2022, especially those with LGBTQ+ themes and those written by people of color.
PAID TIME OFF
Employers will be required to offer paid vacation for any reason. Workers will accrue one hour of paid leave for every 40 hours worked, up to 40 hours total. Employers may offer more than 40 hours and employees may take time off after working for 90 days.
AIR FRESHENERS ALLOWED
Police will no longer be able to pull over a motorist solely because there is an object hanging from their rearview mirror. The law was approved after Daunte Wright was pulled over in Minnesota in 2021 for having a dangling air freshener. He was shot when the officer, reaching for her stun gun, instead grabbed her sidearm.
NO VIDEOCONFERENCING ON THE ROAD
Video meetings, streaming or accessing a social media website while driving will be prohibited. There will be an exception for video on a hands-free or voice-activated device or an application requiring the push of no more than a single button to activate or terminate it.
NO INDOOR VAPING
Vaping or smoking an electronic cigarette or cigar in a public indoor space will be prohibited. The law adds electronic smoking devices to the list of items prohibited in indoor public places under the 2008 Smoke Free Illinois Act, which banned regular tobacco products’ indoor use.
LICENSE-PLATE READER RESTRICTIONS
Interstate agreements between law enforcement agencies must specify that license-plate reader technology not be used on cars driven by women coming into Illinois to have abortions.
SURVEILLANCE DRONES
Following the Highland Park parade shooting, lawmakers approved the use of drones by law enforcement to surveil “routed” or “special events.” The drones may not be equipped with weapons or facial-recognition technology.
DEEPFAKE PORN
Victims of digital forgeries known as deepfake pornography may file civil lawsuits against anyone who shares or threatens to share an image that falsely depicts a person exposing genitalia or other private parts or engaging in a sex act. Identifying the image as materially altered is not a defense to liability.
RESTROOMS MAY BE ALL-GENDER MULTIOCCUPANCY
Businesses have the option of installing restrooms that may be used by any gender simultaneously. Current restrooms may be renovated to accommodate all genders. Urinals may not be included and stalls must have floor-to-ceiling, locking dividers.
VOTER REGISTRATION FOR TEENS
Teenagers may pre-register to vote at age 16 or 17 while obtaining a driver’s license or state identification card at a drivers’ services office run by the secretary of state. When turning 18, the legal voting age, they will already be registered to vote. | https://www.8newsnow.com/news/ap-top-headlines/ap-laws-banning-semi-automatic-weapons-and-library-censorship-to-take-effect-in-illinois/ | 2024-01-01T03:52:28Z |

N. Korea's Kim orders military to prepare for possible 'war'
World
Kim Jong Un wrapped up the year with fresh threats of a nuclear attack on Seoul.
SEOUL (AFP) – North Korean leader Kim Jong Un wrapped up the year with fresh threats of a nuclear attack on Seoul and orders for a military arsenal build-up to prepare for a war that can "break out any time" on the peninsula, state media reported Sunday.
Kim lambasted the United States during a lengthy speech at the end of five days of year-end party meetings that set his country's military, political and economic policy decisions for 2024.
The meeting announced plans for further military development in the coming year, including launching three more spy satellites, building unmanned drones and developing electronic warfare capabilities, as well as strengthening nuclear and missile forces, according to the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
This year, Pyongyang successfully launched a reconnaissance satellite, enshrined its status as a nuclear power in its constitution and test-fired the most advanced intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in its arsenal.
Kim accused the United States of posing "various forms of military threat" and ordered his armed forces to maintain the "overwhelming war response capability", according to KCNA's account of the meeting that ended on Saturday.
The meeting concluded that it is a "fait accompli that a war may break out on the Korean peninsula any time due to the enemies' reckless moves for invading the DPRK", KCNA said, using the acronym of the North's official name.
In an effort to deter Pyongyang, Washington deployed a nuclear-powered submarine in the South Korean port city of Busan this month and flew its long-range bombers in drills with Seoul and Tokyo.
The North has described the deployment of Washington's strategic weapons, such as B-52 bombers, in joint drills on the Korean peninsula as "intentional nuclear war provocative moves".
The military "should rapidly respond to any possible nuclear crisis and put continuous spurs to the preparations for a great event to suppress the whole territory of south Korea by mobilizing all physical means and forces including nuclear forces in contingency", Kim said.
'UNCONTROLLABLE CRISIS'
Kim told the meeting he would no longer seek reconciliation and reunification with South Korea, noting the "uncontrollable crisis" that he said was triggered by Seoul and Washington.
Inter-Korean relations have deteriorated to a low point this year, with Pyongyang's spy satellite launch prompting Seoul to partially suspend a 2018 military agreement aimed at defusing tensions.
Kim said it would be a mistake to regard South Korea "who publicly defined us as the 'principal enemy'... as the partner of reconciliation and reunification", according to KCNA.
Kim also ordered the drawing-up of measures for reorganising departments handling cross-border affairs to "fundamentally change the principle".
Leif Easley, a professor of international relations at Ewha University in Seoul, said the emphasis on North Korea's "significant military capabilities" was likely aimed at hiding its poor economic achievements this year.
"Much of what state-controlled media publishes is recycled propaganda," he said, adding. "Pyongyang's bellicose rhetoric suggests its military moves are not only about deterrence but also domestic politics and international coercion."
Pyongyang declared itself an "irreversible" nuclear power in 2022 and has repeatedly said it will never give up its nuclear weapons programme, which the regime views as essential for its survival.
The United Nations Security Council has adopted many resolutions calling on North Korea to halt its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes since Pyongyang first conducted a nuclear test in 2006. | https://dunyanews.tv/en/World/781525-N.-Korea%5C's-Kim-orders-military-to-prepare-for-possible-%5C'war%5C' | 2024-01-01T03:52:35Z |
EC ready to face any challenges: CEC
Stating that every election is challenging, Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Habibul Awal today said the commission is ready to tackle any challenges for holding the upcoming national elections.
"They [every political party] have the democratic right to speak in favour or against the elections. If they [BNP] try to foil the election and try to create a blockade for not letting voters in, that would be challenging. We are prepared to face the challenge," he said.
The CEC made this remark while talking to the reporters after a meeting with the local administration and law enforcement agencies in Sylhet city this afternoon, reports our local correspondent.
Awal said BNP, as a political party, boycotted the election and the party leaders are urging people to boycott it. If they continue the peaceful way, that would not be challenging.
When asked about internet connectivity during the elections, the CEC said internet bandwidth will not be slowed down during the polls. "But if anyone tries to share fabricated information, we will take stern action."
He said, "There are many fabricated publicities against the election. We are assuring everyone against these publicities. The 12th national election would be free, fair, and credible."
Earlier in the day, the CEC met the candidates of all constituencies in Sylhet at the circuit house conference hall in Sylhet. | https://www.thedailystar.net/news/bangladesh/national-election-2024/news/ec-ready-face-any-challenges-cec-3506616 | 2024-01-01T03:52:34Z |

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram each scored 26 points and the New Orleans Pelicans beat the road-weary Los Angeles Lakers 129-109 on Sunday night.
Los Angeles was coming off a 108-106 loss at Minnesota on Saturday night, while New Orleans was off two days after beating Utah at home Thursday night.
LeBron James scored a 34 points and former Pelican Anthony Davis added 20 points and 10 rebounds, but they didn’t get enough help as the Lakers lost for the seventh time in nine games.
CJ McCollum added 22 points for the Pelicans, who led by 19 points and responded to each comeback bid with the help of 50% 3-point shooting (17 of 34) as a team and crafty 6-foot guard Jose “Grand Theft” Alvarado’s four steals and and two blocks.
The meeting was the first since the Lakers dismantled New Orleans 133-89 in the In-Season Tournament semifinal in Las Vegas on Dec. 7. And the Pelicans had the look of a team seeking redemption in front of a packed and festive New Year’s Eve crowd.
It was the fourth time this season that New Orleans’ “Big Three” — Williamson, Ingram and McCollum — each scored 20 or more in one game. The Pelicans are 4-0 in such games.
Larry Nance Jr. had 11 points and 10 rebounds in just his second game back from a rib injury. Herb Jones and Jonas Valanciunas each scored 13 points.
The Lakers went into the game without forward Cam Reddish (adductor) and D’Angelo Russell (back), while the Pelicans were without one of their top 3-point shooters in Trey Murphy III (left knee). All were day-to-day.
Then Lakers forward Rui Hachimura left the game in the first half with a left calf strain.
Despite missing Murphy, New Orleans was on from deep. McCollum made five early 3s and finished with six. Jones made three 3s from the right corner in the second quarter.
Meanwhile, Alvarado delighted the crowd by picking the pockets of both James and Davis during the second quarter, when New Orleans led by as many as 19 points.
James had 21 of his points in the first half, but didn’t get a lot of help from anyone other than Davis, who had 13 in the opening 24 minutes.
The Pelicans hit 10 of 17 3s in the first two periods, and took a 74-57 halftime lead after Ingram’s block of Max Christie’s shot ignited a fast break finished by Nance’s layup.

MANILA - Health Undersecretary Eric Tayag on Dec 31 pushed for a crackdown on vendors of illegal firecrackers after a four-year-old boy lost all fingers on his right hand when he lighted a “dart bomb” inside his house in Central Luzon.
The boy, the youngest of eight persons reported to be the latest to suffer firecracker-related injuries, also hurt his neck as a result.
“The DOH (Department of Health) is seriously concerned how such deadly and illegal fireworks are able to reach the hands of young children,” Dr Tayag said in a news briefing at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) in Manila.
“We ask our police to crack down further on those selling illegal fireworks that find their way to destroy the hands and future of Filipino children,” he added.
Firework displays
The DOH also appealed to local governments to organise community firework displays to discourage people from using firecrackers on their own during the New Year celebration.
As of Dec 30, at least 115 people, mostly male, have been treated in hospitals for injuries due to fireworks or firecrackers since the DOH started its monitoring on Dec 21.
The number of cases, however, is expected to go up on New Year’s Eve.
Beyond Department of Health figures
Of the 115 cases, 67 or 59 per cent were due to illegal fireworks, the most common being the improvised cannon or “boga”, 5-star, “kwitis”, “piccolo”, luces, “pla-pla”, whistle bomb, and unlabelled or imported firecrackers like the dart bomb. The boga, 5-star, piccolo and pla-pla are illegal firecrackers.
Of the eight latest victims, all were male, including the four-year-old boy, while the oldest was 37 years old. Five of them were hurt due to illegal fireworks while one was a “passive” victim who was just watching someone use firecrackers, according to the DOH.
Broken down by region, of the 115 fireworks-related injuries reported so far, 44 or 38 per cent were from Metro Manila.
Next were Central Luzon and Ilocos with 13 cases each; followed by Soccsksargen with nine; Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon), six; Cagayan Valley, Bicol, and Western Visayas, five cases each; while Davao Region reported one case.
The figures, however, appear to be much higher than those forwarded to the DOH with authorities in Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Bicol and Cagayan Valley regions recording almost 100 cases of firecracker-related injuries.
Call to parents, guardians
In Central Luzon, there were at least 56 cases reported to the DOH from Dec. 21 to 30, more than double the 23 recorded for the same period in 2022. Pampanga counted 25 cases from only six in 2022 while the recent cases in Nueva Ecija reached 10; Bulacan, nine; Zambales, five; Tarlac, four; and Bataan, three.
Health authorities in Cagayan Valley recorded 18 firecracker-related injuries, six more compared to the same period in 2022. The DOH Region 2 report said that the last four additional cases were logged between Dec 29 and 30.
In Bicol, 12 cases were recorded from Dec 21 to 30 by the DOH Firework-Related Injury Surveillance, which was lower than the 20 logged between Dec 21, 2022, and Jan 5, 2023.
In Calabarzon, the DOH recorded seven fireworks-related injury cases, also from Dec 21 to 31.
In 2022, at least 307 cases were reported nationwide to the DOH while there was one case of injury due to indiscriminate gun firing in Metro Manila.
Amid the Covid-19 lockdown in 2021, only 189 fireworks-related injuries were reported all over the country.
During the news conference, PGH director Gerardo Legaspi urged parents and guardians to stop children from using fireworks or firecrackers.
But in case of injuries, he said the best first aid while seeking treatment would be to thoroughly wash the affected area and then apply pressure to stop the bleeding. PHILIPPINE DAILY INQUIRER/ASIA NEWS NETWORK | https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/4-year-old-firecracker-victim-in-the-philippines-loses-fingers-on-right-hand | 2024-01-01T03:52:37Z |
NEW YORK (AP) — It’s an annual end-of-year exercise in futility for many. But a clean slate awaits at the stroke of midnight for the next round of resolutions.
From the first spray of fireworks to the closing chorus of “Auld Lang Syne” 366 days into the future — 2024 is a leap year — it could be the year for finally achieving long-elusive goals, fulfilling aspirations and being resolute on all those New Year resolutions.
“As humans, we are creatures that aspire,” said Omid Fotuhi, a social psychologist who is a motivation and performance researcher.
“The fact that we have goals, the fact that we want to set goals is just a manifestation of that internal and almost universal desire to want to stretch, to want to reach, to want to expand and grow,” said Fotuhi, the director of learning innovation at Western Governors University Labs and a research associate at the University of Pittsburgh.
“New Year’s resolutions are one of those ways in which we do that,” he said. “There’s something very liberating about a fresh start. Imagine starting on a blank canvas. Anything is possible.”
If so, could this be the year to run a marathon, vanquish (or make peace with) old foes such as the bathroom scale and a thickening waist? Maybe learn Mandarin or register to vote, and actually vote? So many questions, and so much time to delay.
Tim Williams used to issue himself a panoply of resolutions: lose weight, drink less, exercise more and yada yada.
Now, he doesn’t bother.
“In the past, I would make them, and I would fail or give up on them or whatever,” said Williams, a part-time resident of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Carla Valeria Silva de Santos, a Florida transplant from Brazil, wants to learn to play the guitar. A native Portuguese speaker, she wants to learn Spanish and improve her English.
With any resolution, she said, the ultimate goal is “to improve your life and be in peace with yourself.”
Josh Moore, another Fort Lauderdale resident, sees things in line with the natural philosopher Sir Isaac Newton and physics. For every action there must be an equal reaction.
“If you do something like eat a bunch of candy or a bunch of desserts at a holiday party, go run,” he said while interrupting a jog with his dog. “Maybe you went out drinking too much and you might have a hangover. But then next day when you’re feeling better, go to the gym.”
Too many people are too soft on themselves, he posited. “You’ve got to actually hold yourself accountable.”
Resolutions don’t have to be big, grandiose or overly ambitious, Fotuhi said.
Even it they are, he said value should not exclusively be derived from the achievement but also be measured by what you become by trying to better yourself.
“Goals are only there to serve a function to get you started,” Fotuhi said. “If they don’t do that, then maybe that’s not the appropriate goal for you.”
In other words, it is a time to recalibrate goals and expectations, he said, adding that some people hang on to outdated goals for way too long.
“If you set a goal that’s overly ambitious, that doesn’t have the effect of getting you excited and making you believe that it’s possible, then maybe you should think about a goal that’s a little bit more within your reach — starting with a 5k for instance, then moving up to 10K,” Fotuhi said.

DALLAS, Texas — Trailblazing longtime U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, a nurse from Texas who helped bring hundreds of millions of federal dollars to the Dallas area as the region's most powerful Democrat, died Sunday. She was 88.
President Joe Biden, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson and many other leaders issued statements about her death after her son posted about it on Facebook. The Dallas Morning News also confirmed her death with an unnamed source close to the family. No cause of death was given.
Biden hailed her "immense courage" and called her "an icon and mentor to generations of public servants, through whom her legacy of resilience and purpose will endure."
"She was the single most effective legislator Dallas has ever had," the mayor said in a statement. "Nobody brought more federal infrastructure money home to our city. Nobody fought harder for our communities and our residents' interests and safety. And nobody knew how to navigate Washington better for the people of Dallas."
Eddie Bernice Johnson served in the House for three decades after becoming the first registered nurse elected to Congress and first Black chief psychiatric nurse at Dallas' Veterans Affairs hospital. She went on to become the first Black woman to chair the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, and she also led the Congressional Black Caucus. She left office in January after repeatedly delaying her retirement. Before Congress, she served in the Texas legislature.
"For three decades, Chairwoman Johnson was a powerful force in the United States Congress, always focused on the future," House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi said in a statement, praising Johnson as "a tenacious trailblazer, a talented legislator and a devoted public servant."
Johnson used her committee leadership position to fight against Republican efforts to block action on climate change. Congressional Black Caucus Chair Steven Horsford said Johnson was also "a fierce advocate for expanding STEM opportunities to Black and minority students" who also played a key role in helping the Biden administration pass a major package of incentives for computer chip manufacturers.
She was born in Waco and grew up in the segregated South. Dallas' once-segregated Union Station was renamed in her honor in 2019.
Her own experience with racism helped spur her to get involved in politics. She recalled that officials at the VA hospital were shocked that she was Black after they hired her sight-unseen, so they rescinded their offer for her to live in a dorm on campus. She told The Dallas Morning News in 2020 that officials would go into patients' rooms ahead of her to "say that I was qualified."
"That was really the most blatant, overt racism that I ever experienced in my life," she told the newspaper.
Johnson nearly quit but decided to stick with it.
"It was very challenging," she said. "But any job where you're an African American woman entering for the first time would be a challenge. They had not hired one before I got there. Yes, it was a challenge, but it was a successful venture."

Deeside Round Table launches Christmas ‘Tree-Cycle Scheme’
Deeside Round Table has once again stepped up to provide an eco-friendly solution for post-Christmas cleanup with its tree recycling scheme.
This innovative programme, set to run from Friday, 5th January to Monday, 8th January, offers residents of the Deeside area (including postal areas CH4, CH5, CH6, CH7) a convenient way to dispose of their real Christmas trees while supporting local community projects.
For a small donation of £10, residents can have their Christmas trees collected right from their doorsteps.
Deeside Round Table emphasises that the money raised will go back to the local community.
This initiative not only simplifies the often cumbersome process of tree disposal but also turns it into an opportunity for residents to contribute to meaningful local causes.
Often, trees are left to shed their needles in cars or prove difficult to transport for disposal.
The ‘Tree-cycle Scheme’ offers a hassle-free alternative while simultaneously supporting charitable activities in the Deeside area.
Participants are encouraged to register their addresses and mobile numbers when buying a ticket for the scheme.
While the collection dates are currently set for 5th to 7th January, the organisation notes that these may vary or extend based on demand.
In a post on their Facebook page, Deeside Round Table said: “Every penny we collect will be channelled directly into uplifting the vulnerable and positively impacting our local community.”
“There’s no need for you to wait around! Just leave your tree in a spot that’s easy to spot and reach, outside your home.”
“Make sure it’s free of tinsel, decorations, and any stands or pots. We’ll handle the rest.”
“Seize this opportunity to make a tangible difference in your community and to the environment!”

Myanmar Gives China Green Light to Proceed with Strategic Seaport
After years of delay, the construction of the Chinese-backed Kyaukphyu deep sea port in Myanmar is likely to resume after the two countries renewed terms for the deal. Last week, Myanmar’s junta and the Chinese state-owned firm CITIC signed an addendum to the concession agreement for the port project. The signing ceremony was held in Myanmar’s capital Naypyitaw and was attended by top Chinese diplomats.
Although the text of the addendum was not made public, Myanmar government officials said the goal is to restart the project as soon as possible. A statement from the Commerce Ministry said, “the Addendum was signed for clearer and more accurate understanding of the concession agreement regarding the powers and responsibilities of both sides.”
However, some analysts have argued that the addendum is likely to have guaranteed some incentives for China so as to proceed with the project. For instance, key components of the original concession which were thought to be beneficial to China have remained. This includes CITIC holding a 70 percent stake and the Myanmar side 30 percent.
Beijing has been very keen on the Kyaukphyu Port project, with Chinese government officials pushing Myanmar to expedite the negotiation process. In May, Chinese ambassador to Myanmar Cheng Hai implored the junta’s legal affairs minister, Thidar Oo, to speed up the talks on development of the port project.
The plans to build Kyaukphyu Port and its Special Economic Zone (SEZ) began back in 2010, but the Covid pandemic and the military takeover in 2021 significantly delayed the start of construction.
The port project is valued at $7.3 billion and an adjacent Special Economic Zone (SEZ) at $1.3 billion. The site spans around 600 acres in the western state of Rakhine. This area is known best for Myanmar's military campaign to expel the Rohingya, a Muslim minority group long subject to discrimination in the nation's predominantly Buddhist society. China, which has been accused of perpetrating serious human rights violations against its own Muslim minorities, has sponsored a small-scale pilot for repatriating Rohingya refugees back to a detention camp in Myanmar.
When complete, China's Kyaukphyu port project will be the new southern terminus of the 1,700-kilometer China-Myanmar Economic Corridor (CMEC) connecting to the Chinese city of Kunming. The corridor will provide landlocked Yunnan Province with access to the Indian Ocean. It is also a strategic bypass for Chinese shipping to avoid the congested Malacca Strait, easing trade with the Middle East, Africa and Europe.
Besides its economic benefits, military analysts have also suggested that Kyaukphyu Port is of military advantage to the PLA Navy due to its direct access to the Indian Ocean. China has invested heavily in a string of strategically-situated port projects to its south and west, including a new naval base in Cambodia; commercial ports at Hambantota, Sri Lanka and Gwadar, Pakistan; and a full-scale naval station at the port of Djibouti. | https://maritime-executive.com/article/myanmar-gives-china-green-light-to-proceed-with-strategic-seaport | 2024-01-01T03:52:38Z |

Zelenskyy vows to wreak 'wrath' against Russia in 2024
World
Zelenskyy vowed in his New Year's address to wreak "wrath" against Russian forces in 2024.
KYIV (AFP) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy vowed in his New Year's address on Sunday (Dec 31) to wreak "wrath" against Russian forces in 2024, despite what he said were attempts to "undermine" support for Kyiv.
His message came less than 72 hours after Moscow launched a barrage of missiles and drones at Ukrainian cities, killing 39 people in one of the biggest aerial attacks since the war began.
"Next year, the enemy will feel the wrath of domestic production," Zelenskyy said in his televised address, which featured clips of Ukrainian artillery and fighter jets.
Ukraine will have at least "a million" additional drones in its arsenal next year, Zelenskyy added, as well as F-16 fighter jets delivered by its Western partners.
"Our pilots are already mastering F-16 jets, and we will definitely see them in our skies," he said, "So that our enemies can certainly see what our real wrath is."
With the war now entering its third calendar year, Zelenskyy has urged his Western allies to keep up support amid increasing signs of fatigue with the conflict.
"Ukrainians are stronger than any intrigues, any attempts to diminish global solidarity, to undermine the coalition of our allies," Zelenskyy cautioned in his message.
Despite billions of dollars' worth of Western weapons, Ukraine struggled to make a major breakthrough in its 2023 counteroffensive against invading Russian forces.
Moscow has meanwhile ramped up pressure along the frontlines, capturing the eastern town of Marinka earlier in December and pushing for control of Kupiansk in the northeast.
Russian President Vladimir Putin did not broach the war in Ukraine during his New Year's Eve address, which was noticeably scaled back compared to last year's. | https://dunyanews.tv/en/World/781526-Zelenskyy-vows-to-wreak-%5C'wrath%5C'-against-Russia-in-2024 | 2024-01-01T03:52:42Z |

Faridpur-4: Bhanga AL seeks cancellation of Nixon’s candidacy for 'giving money to voters'
Faridpur's Bhanga upazila Awami League has sought the cancellation of the candidacy of Mojibur Rahman Chowdhury, popularly known as Nixon Chowdhury, for allegedly breaching the electoral code of conduct.
Nixon is contesting the upcoming national election from Faridpur-4 constituency as an independent candidate.
Bhanga upazila AL President Muhammad Saifur Rahman, the chief election agent of AL nominated candidate Kazi Zafarullah, applied to Faridpur Deputy Commissioner Md Quamrul Ahsan Talukder, also the returning officer, today seeking the cancellation of Nixon's candidacy, reports our local correspondent.
According to the application, Nixon publicly distributed money to voters during an election rally at an auto stand near Kazi Mahmud Ullah College on the north side of Bhanga police station on December 28.
"I strongly demand to cancel his [Nixon Chowdhury] candidacy on the grounds of violation of the election code of conduct," Saifur Rahman said in the application.
In this regard, Nixon told journalists that lies are being spread in his name. "They asked me for some money for eating khichuri, I gave them as gratuity. I help many poor people in this way. It is not an election issue," he said.
Meanwhile, a video in this regard went viral on social media. In the video, Nixon was seen taking out some money from his pocket and giving it to a man wearing Punjabi.
Returning Officer Md Quamrul Ahsan Talukder, said, "We got an application in this regard. We are looking into the matter." | https://www.thedailystar.net/news/bangladesh/national-election-2024/news/faridpur-4-bhanga-al-seeks-cancellation-nixons-candidacy-giving-money-voters-3506586 | 2024-01-01T03:52:42Z |
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — CeeDee Lamb could only watch from the sideline in the final seconds of the best game of his career, hoping it would be enough for a 16th consecutive home victory for the Dallas Cowboys.
It was, because the Cowboys survived a 2-point conversion fest with Detroit going for the win.
The first of Dak Prescott’s two touchdown passes was a 92-yarder to Lamb, and Dallas stopped the third 2-point try from the Lions after they were penalized when they converted the first with 23 seconds remaining in the Cowboys’ 20-19 victory Saturday night.
On the first conversion try after Jared Goff’s 11-yard touchdown pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown, Goff completed a pass to lineman Taylor Decker, but he was ruled to be an ineligible receiver.
The Lions went for 2 again from the 7-yard line and were stopped on an interception that didn’t even reach the end zone, but the Cowboys were called for offsides.
On the final attempt, Goff’s pass to James Mitchell short of the goal line was incomplete, finishing off the Dallas celebration of two-time Super Bowl-winning coach Jimmy Johnson’s induction into the team’s ring of honor at halftime.
“Very stressful,” said Lamb, who had a career-high 227 yards receiving. “But definitely I know my defense had us, and they held it down.”
Lamb’s touchdown was the second-longest pass in club history — behind the 95-yard connection in 1966 between two more ring of honor members in Don Meredith and Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver Bob Hayes.
The NFC North champion Lions (11-5) went for the victory after entering the game with hopes of getting one of the top two seeds in the NFC.
“I told the offense that we were going down, 1:41 left, we’re going to go down and score and then we’re going to go for 2 and finish this game off,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said. “I told them that, and so that’s what we’re doing.”
The playoff-bound Cowboys (11-5) have a shot at the NFC East title, but need division-leading Philadelphia to lose at least once in the final two weeks.
Dallas finished 8-0 at AT&T Stadium for its first perfect home record since the 1980 and ’81 seasons, when the Cowboys had a club-record 18-game winning streak at since-demolished Texas Stadium.
The Cowboys went ahead 17-13 on Brandin Cooks’ scoring catch from Prescott midway through the fourth quarter, and extended the lead to seven on Brandon Aubrey’s record 35th field goal without a miss to start his career.
Goff’s second interception set up Aubrey’s kick, but he led the Lions 75 yards in nine plays to St. Brown’s TD catch.
Goff said Decker, the starting left tackle, reported to officials and Dan Skipper, a backup offensive tackle, did not. Skipper said he didn’t report to an official. Two players can’t report to be eligible receivers on the same play.
“I don’t want to talk about it,” said Campbell, who was visibly angry with referee Brad Allen after the successful 2-point play was negated.
In a pool report, Allen said Skipper reported to him as eligible, but then lined up in a tackle spot that didn’t require him to report. Allen said Decker didn’t report, and that his conversation with Decker was about Skipper reporting.
Video showed Allen and Decker talking before Allen said something to the Dallas defense.
“That conversation is where (Skipper) reports to me, and I then go to the defensive team, and I say to them ‘(Skipper) has reported as an eligible receiver,’ so they will be aware of who has reported,” Allen said in the pool report.
Goff finished 19 for 34 for 271 yards with a TD and two interceptions, and David Montgomery had a scoring run.
“It’s unfortunate, man,” Goff said. “I don’t know if I’ve had this feeling before where you feel like you won and then you didn’t.”
Prescott finished 26 for 38 for 345 yards with an interception.
Lamb broke two of receiver Michael Irvin’s single-season club records from 1995 while also setting career highs with 13 catches in his first 200-yard game.
The third catch broke Irvin’s mark of 111, although it ended up being a turnover when he fumbled into the end zone out of bounds when Dallas was on the verge of a 14-3 lead.
Lamb has temporary taken the NFL receiving yardage lead with 1,651 yards, 10 more than Miami’s Tyreek Hill, who plays Sunday. Irvin had 1,603 yards in 1995.
“I really don’t know where to start,” Lamb said. “Shout out to the defense for bailing us out. I told y’all I’d enjoy it more if we won, and we did.”
Irvin was there to see every catch and yard. He and his fellow Hall of Fame “Triplets” from the 1990s Super Bowl winners — quarterback Troy Aikman and running back Emmitt Smith — greeted Johnson as their former coach joined them in the ring of honor during a halftime ceremony.
Dallas was trailing 3-0 and facing third-and-13 from its 8-yard line in the first quarter when Detroit linebacker Derrick Barnes ran right by Prescott with a chance to sack him just inside the goal line. Cornerback Kindle Vildor fell just as Prescott was throwing deep to a sprinting Lamb, who caught the ball near midfield and cruised to the end zone.
UP NEXT
The teams will play their final regular-season games next Saturday or Sunday.
Lions: Host Minnesota.
Cowboys: At Washington.

Flintshire based rescue finds forever homes for XL Bullies ahead of new law introduction
North Clwyd Animal Rescue (NCAR) has experienced a rollercoaster of emotions in the past few months.
The Trelogan-based rescue announced a significant achievement amidst a challenging period: the successful rehoming of all XL Bully dogs in their care before new UK government regulations on the breed came into force.
The new rules, which came into force on December 31, now require XL bully dogs to be leashed and muzzled while in public.
Breeding, selling, or abandoning the dogs has also become illegal, with owners being urged to apply for a certificate of exemption for current pets before the January 31 deadline.
The restrictions come ahead of a looming ban on the dog breed. From February 1, it will be a criminal offence to own an XL bully dog in England and Wales without a certificate.
The dedicated staff at NCAR have worked tirelessly to ensure that those XL bully dogs in their care found their forever homes.
The rescue has expressed profound gratitude to those who shared their social media posts and to the families who opened their hearts and homes to these dogs.
Among the success stories are Buttercup, who found love with a doting couple; Enzo, who discovered his perfect partnership; Chipmunk, who settled with his ideal family; and Butch, who paired with his perfect match. In addition, four puppies have been placed in nurturing environments where they can grow and thrive.
However, alongside these joyful updates, NCAR shared the devastating news of Stitch, a beloved XL Bully.
Stitch came to the rescue in a dire state, suffering from severe skin problems and other health issues.
Despite the best efforts of the veterinary team, a recent operation revealed a rapidly growing, suspicious lump.
Faced with the severity of his condition and the pain and distress he endured, the team made the heart-wrenching decision to euthanise Stitch.
The loss of Stitch, described as a handsome and unforgettable dog, has deeply affected the NCAR team and supporters.
He passed away peacefully, surrounded by those who loved him, bringing an end to his suffering.
The past few months have been emotionally draining for NCAR and other animal rescues across the country ahead of the new legislation on XL bully dogs.
The organisation acknowledged the challenges they faced, from the emotional toll of caring for these animals to navigating the complexities of the government ban.
As 2024 begins, NCAR has extended heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported them during these difficult times.
They also expressed solidarity with other rescues that are still working to find homes for their XL dogs, offering hope that a happier future awaits these animals.
Posting on their Facebook page, Media Relations and Fundraising Manager at North Clwyd Animal Rescue, Nicky Owen said it’s been a “month from hell but wow wasn’t it worth it look at all those animals in homes!”
“Massive thanks to all our team for making it possible proud of NCAR right now! Feeling a little numb but worth it as we saved them all!”

HANOI - On Check in Viet Nam, the largest group for the Vietnamese travel community on Facebook, Mr Phan Vu Minh is considered by many travel fellows to be the most special Vietnamese wanderer.
This is not because of the number of kilometres he travelled, but because he does not let being wheelchair-bound stop him pursuing his passion.
Mr Minh was born in 1991 in the Mekong Delta province of Vinh Long. At the age of 12, after days of suffering chronic back pain and walking abnormalities, Mr Minh was diagnosed with spinal vascular malformations – a rare disease.
“I was the second case with this disease in Vietnam,” he said.
Mr Minh’s dreams were fully dashed while he was a 20-year-old university student in Ho Chi Minh City. During a surgery, his spinal cord swelled, paralysing his legs and rendering him unable to walk.
“When the doctor said the only way was to wait for a miracle to happen, I was desperate because I knew everything was over,” Mr Minh said.
Mr Minh slipped into depression after returning to his hometown, worried about his future. Being bound to a wheelchair left him depressed and terrified of people staring. He realised his current living situation was scarier than his disease.
“I thought I needed to make changes in my life for the sake of my parents and my happiness,” he said.
With endless encouragement from his family and friends, the young man put aside the sad days and spent his spare time taking care of the small garden around his house and growing ornamental plants for business. A stable income from ornamental plants helps him live comfortably.
“I believe that the disabled are constantly afraid of others’ perceptions. When I first earned money from gardening, it had been a long time since I could go out and go shopping for myself,” he told Viet Nam News.
Despite his health problems, he is in great shape, as he works out with a dumbbell daily, rides more than 10km in his wheelchair each week, and maintains a healthy diet.
“I am more confident because I do not have to rely on anyone any more,” he said.
He also realised that most people around him were gazing at him with sympathy and warmth, not pity.
The steady income improved his self-confidence and allowed him to consider a hobby he had not been able to pursue for a long time: going outside to hang out with friends and exploring the awe-inspiring landscapes of the country.
Mr Minh’s first trip took place in 2017 to Bac Lieu Province, to see a friend who also has a spinal vascular malformation. The friend, who studies mechanical engineering, assisted him in building a three-wheeled scooter that he could drive while sitting in a wheelchair.
This 140km trip helped him overcome his fear and sparked his interest in travelling. Since then, he has visited 45 provinces across Vietnam, alone or with his nephew.
“Even though I am paralysed, I do not want to depend on others. You can be proactive on your trip and travel anywhere whenever you want if you drive yourself,” Mr Minh said.
“Moreover, I can completely immerse myself in local customs, cultures, and cuisine and contemplate breathtaking scenic spots by travelling on a scooter.”
After each trip, he gradually dares to do even more. His latest and longest ever journey was from his hometown in the South to the northernmost point of Vietnam – Lung Cu Town in Dong Van District, Ha Giang.
The Ha Giang journey is tough for anyone with an off-road motorcycle, let alone for Mr Minh with his scooter.
“I kept pressing the brake because of the steep passes, twisting bends, and hairpin turns at Ha Giang, and it broke. A stranger recognised me while I was in town and helped fix the brake,” Mr Minh said
He has been unable to explore some places due to his wheelchair. However, the people he encountered on the journey were exceedingly generous.
“A traveller helped me by lifting the wheelchair through up the stairs, so I could explore Meo King’s Palace,” he said.
The most rewarding achievements on his trips have been the words of encouragement and warm support given by people he met.
“My travels, surprisingly, encourage others in some way. They appreciated my optimism in the face of adversity, and it inspired them to overcome their difficulties and bring more positive energy into their lives,” Mr Minh said.
Though the disease is incurable and gradually worsening – he faces the possibility that his hands will become paralysed at any point – this does not deter him from pursuing his dream: to set foot in all 63 provinces and cities of Vietnam.

Gazans 'exhausted' as Israel's Netanyahu says war will last 'many months'
World
Displaced Palestinians said they were "exhausted" with no end in sight to the war.
GAZA (AFP) - Fighting raged across Gaza, where displaced Palestinians said they were "exhausted" with no end in sight to the war between the besieged territory's Hamas rulers and Israel, now in its 13th week.
Smoke billowed over the Gaza Strip's southern city of Khan Younis, the focus of recent fighting in the grinding war, which was triggered by Hamas attacks on Israel on Oct 7.
Further south, the border city of Rafah near Egypt was teeming with Gazans seeking safety from Israel's relentless bombardment in its fight against Palestinian militants.
"Enough with this war! We are totally exhausted," said Umm Louay Abu Khater, 49, who had fled her home in Khan Younis, taking refuge in Rafah.
"We are constantly displaced from one place to another in cold weather," she said. "The bombs keep falling on us day and night."
The Israeli army kept up its campaign in the face of mounting international pushback, reporting "fierce battles" and air strikes across Gaza.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel's war against Hamas will last for "many months", until the Palestinian militant group has been eliminated.
"We will guarantee that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel," he told a news conference, adding that the military was involved in a "complex fight" and needed time to achieve its goals.
The fighting began with Hamas's bloody Oct 7 attacks, which left about 1,140 people dead in Israel, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures.
Militants also took about 250 people hostage, and Israel says 129 of them remain in captivity.
The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza says the Israeli military campaign has killed at least 21,672 people, mostly women and children.
A ministry statement on Saturday said 165 Gazans were killed over the previous 24 hours.
The Israeli army says 170 soldiers have been killed in combat inside Gaza.
An AFP correspondent reported continuous shelling of Rafah and Khan Younis overnight, and the health ministry said "multiple" people had died in a strike on a house in Nuseirat refugee camp, in central Gaza.
'YEAR OF DESTRUCTION'
Medics in Nasser hospital in Khan Younis said they were facing severe shortages.
"The hospital is receiving a lot more (patients) than its capacity, in fact we are functioning at 300 percent of our...capacity," doctor Ahmad Abu Mustafa said in footage shared by the World Health Organization.
"The beds are full... and we are basically short on all sorts of medicine supplies."
The health ministry appealed to the international community for increased support, including assistance in evacuating patients.
The fighting has put 23 hospitals and 53 health centres out of service, while 104 ambulances have been destroyed, the ministry said.
In central Gaza's Zawayda, Palestinians pulled the body of a child from under the rubble after an Israeli strike.
"We pulled (out) nine martyrs, who were members of a very peaceful family. Two adjacent houses were targeted," said the area's civil defence director, Rami al-Aidi.
In north Gaza, the Israeli army said it had killed dozens of "terrorists" in Gaza City and dismantled two Hamas "military compounds" in Beit Lahia.
The army released footage of what it said was the demolition of a complex of tunnels in north Gaza that had been used by Hamas as a hideout.
Ahmed al-Baz, a 33-year-old Palestinian displaced from Gaza City, said this year had been "the worst in my life".
"It was a year of destruction and devastation," he said in Rafah, surrounded by tents in a makeshift camp.
"We just want the war to end, and start the new year at home, with a ceasefire declared."
MEDIATION EFFORTS
International mediators, who last month brokered a one-week truce that saw more than 100 hostages released and some aid enter Gaza, continue in their efforts to secure a new pause in fighting.
US news outlet Axios and Israeli website Ynet, both citing unnamed Israeli officials, reported that Qatari mediators had told Israel that Hamas was prepared to resume talks on new hostage releases in exchange for a ceasefire.
And a Hamas delegation was in Cairo on Friday to discuss an Egyptian plan proposing renewable ceasefires, a staggered release of hostages for Palestinian prisoners, and ultimately an end to the war, sources close to Hamas say.
Islamic Jihad, another armed group fighting alongside Hamas, said on Saturday that Palestinian factions were "in the process" of evaluating the Egyptian proposal.
A response will come "within days", the group's chief negotiator, Muhammad al-Hindi, said.
Asked about the negotiations on Saturday, Netanyahu said Hamas had been "giving all kinds of ultimatums that we didn't accept".
"We are seeing a certain shift (but) I don't want to create an expectation," he added.
As Netanyahu spoke, hundreds of relatives and supporters of the hostages demonstrated in Tel Aviv to keep up the pressure on his government to bring their loved ones home.
"The scariest thing in Gaza was to be forgotten," said former hostage Moran Stela Yanai, who was released during last month's truce.
Hamas meanwhile hit out at Washington's announcement it had approved a US$147.5 million sale of high-explosive artillery munitions to Israel, saying it was "clear evidence of the American administration's full sponsorship of this criminal war".
An Israeli siege imposed after Oct 7, following years of crippling blockade, has led to dire shortages of food, safe water, fuel and medicine in Gaza, with aid convoys offering only sporadic relief.
The UN says more than 85 percent of Gaza's 2.4 million people have fled their homes.
The Gaza war has intensified tensions across the region.
In the occupied West Bank, Israeli troops shot dead a Palestinian motorist at the entrance to the Fawwar refugee camp south of Hebron. The army said he had attempted to run down soldiers.
Israel has traded frequent cross-border fire with Lebanon's powerful Iran-backed Hezbollah movement. Early Saturday the army said it had carried out strikes on Syria in response to rocket fire.
The bombardment killed two fighters from a Hezbollah-linked group, Britain-based war monitor the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. | https://dunyanews.tv/en/World/781527-Gazans-%5C'exhausted%5C'-as-Israel%5C's-Netanyahu-says-war-will-last-%5C'many-months | 2024-01-01T03:52:49Z |
