DETROIT (AP) — Four people died and two others were injured Saturday in a Michigan house explosion that could be heard miles away, police said. The explosion happened before 4 p.m. in Northfield Township, about 45 miles (72.4 kilometers) west of Detroit. The structure was destroyed, leaving only the basement, Northfield Township Police Lt. David Powell told reporters Saturday. The blast, which could be heard about 9 miles (14.4 kilometers) away, sent debris into the air that landed on both sides of a nearby highway. Neighboring homes were not damaged, Powell said. Six people were in the home, with four fatalities discovered at the scene and the two surviving victims hospitalized in critical condition. Police did not immediately know if the victims were related, Powell said. Authorities have not determined the cause of the explosion. Northfield Township police did not immediately return a message from The Associated Press seeking additional information on Sunday.

A New Year’s Message to US President Joe Biden Dear Mr President, as we end the year, do you look back on it and think about the Palestinian people in Gaza? When the clock hits twelve, and the New Year's fireworks sparkle in the sky across the United States, will you think of the citizens of Gaza who have been looking at the sky—a home for Israeli bomb-filled warplanes—and fearing for their lives? Do you know Mr President, how many and who exactly were killed by Israel in Gaza? Just to remind you, twenty-one thousand people have been murdered so far, with the death toll rising indefinitely. Among these were eight thousand children, excluding all the fetuses who died in their mothers' wombs. Young and old, male and female, writers, historians, poets, journalists, engineers, doctors, nurses, lawyers, farmers, teachers, artists, builders, ambulance and taxi drivers, and athletes who excel in all sports—uncountable talents and dreams have been murdered in Palestine in 2023. You continue to veto ceasefires saying Israel has a 'right to defend itself.' Against what? We all know that phrase is a deadly rhetoric—deadly, because it has led to mass murder. On that note, Mr President, we refuse to believe you 'support' Israel, where the citizens are protesting to end the war too. Instead, you encourage Israel to proceed with the dual killing of Palestinians and Israelis. These people, Mr President, built civilisations when the means of life were available to them. Unfortunately, Mr President, you covered their killing and provided the perpetrators with the latest means of lethality produced by factories in your "great nation." Perhaps you do not know that among those being killed, there are brothers of scientists who contributed to building the United States and relatives of professors who teach in your universities. They number in the thousands, teaching your children in your educational institutions, are cousins of Palestinians who gave you their votes, the same votes that helped you reach the White House. These are the people who are categorically killed by your warplanes and missiles. Mr President, you have been tepidly calling for the establishment of a state for the Palestinians, but what is actually happening is the killing of the citizens of this state before its birth. If the situation continues as it is, then this state that you speak of, will be a prison for orphans, widows, disabled, children, whose memories will forever be tarnished with the terrifying sounds of explosions, the roaring of warplanes, the scenes of the mass burials of their loved ones, and the screams of those stuck under the rubble. Mr President, why can't you and the United States—the so-called guardian of democracy and human rights—extend the same values and compassion to the persecuted Palestinian people? You were quick to express outrage and immense sadness when you accepted the Israeli propaganda about beheaded babies without any evidence, only to be proven wrong later on. Now, you have seen clear proof of your planes and missiles turning the bodies of thousands of Palestinian children into pieces. Where is that outrage now? You continue to veto ceasefires saying Israel has a "right to defend itself." Against what? We all know that phrase is a deadly rhetoric—deadly, because it has led to mass murder. On that note, Mr President, we refuse to believe you "support" Israel, where the citizens are protesting to end the war too. Instead, you encourage Israel to proceed with the dual killing of Palestinians and Israelis. You use your "veto" in the United Nations Security Council to prevent any glimmer of justice toward the Palestinians, to shamelessly play political games at the cost of lives. These vetoes, Mr President, are responsible for the continuation of endless death and destruction. It is responsible for Israel sinking itself in the burning sea and sands of Gaza. With US funding, Israel continues to perpetuate a "war" with genocidal objectives. It is most disappointing, that after defeating your predecessor Donald Trump, calling him an "existential threat" to democracy, you have stood behind a fascist leader in Israel. Not only is Netanyahu morally wrong, but his objectives are unrealistic in nature too. Netanyahu has no chance of achieving his sadistic quest to demolish the people of Palestine. It is delusional to believe that, after 76 years of resistance, Palestine and its people can be erased. This letter, Mr President, is a message on behalf of 15 million people who, despite being subjected to the worst kind of horrors taking place in recent history, still fight for freedom, peace and justice. Our Palestinian sage and poet Mahmoud Darwish wisely said: How large the revolution, how narrow the journey, how grand the idea, how small the state. Regarding the Palestinian people, he said: We love life whenever we can; wherever we settle we harvest a murdered man. Palestine will never be erased. So, Mr President, as we are on the cusp of a new Gregorian year, we wish to bid farewell to the year 2023 with all its tragedies and woes and begin a new year that will bring hope and freedom for the people who have suffered and suffered and suffered. When the fireworks sparkle at the dawn of this new year, we hope you ask yourself: How long will the US remain a ruthless enemy of humanity and how long will you continue to deny us the right to freedom? His Excellency, Yousef SY Ramadan, is the Palestinian Ambassador to Bangladesh. Views expressed in this article are the author's own.

MEDAN, Indonesia (AP) — Nearly 150 Rohingya refugees, mostly hungry and weak women and children, have reached a beach in Indonesia’s North Sumatra province after weeks at sea, officials said Sunday. The group of 53 men, 39 women and 55 children arrived on Karang Gadih beach in Langkat district late Saturday, said the village head, Muhammad Amiruddin. A rickety, leaky wooden boat that brought them from Bangladesh was moored on a lighthouse island not far from the village, he said. Five among the refugees were sick after the long journey and residents gave them food and water while they waited for instructions from immigration and local officials to decide where to take them. Residents do not want the refugees in their communities, however, and last week many protested the recent Rohingya arrivals. “We helped them as they look very weak from hunger and dehydration,” Amiruddin said. “But many residents cannot accept them to live in our village because they will only bring problems later.” He said that one of the refugees told authorities that they sailed from the Cox Bazar refugee camp in Bangladesh to Indonesia and became stranded on a lighthouse island. About 740,000 Rohingya were resettled in Bangladesh after fleeing their homes in Myanmar to escape a brutal counterinsurgency campaign by security forces. But the camps in Bangladesh are squalid, with surging gang violence and rampant hunger, leading many to flee again. A mob of Indonesian students on Wednesday attacked the basement of a local community hall in Banda Aceh, the capital of Aceh province, where 137 Rohingya were taking shelter. The incident drew an outcry from human rights group and the U.N. refugee agency, which said the attack left the refugees shocked and traumatized. Indonesia’s navy said Thursday that it forcibly pushed a boat packed with refugees back to international waters after it approached the shores of Aceh province. It’s unclear whether the refugees who arrived late Saturday in neighboring North Sumatra province were from the same boat that was pushed away by the navy. Indonesia has appealed to the international community for help and intensified patrols of its waters due to a sharp rise in Rohingya refugees leaving overcrowded camps in Bangladesh since November. Over 1,500 Rohingya have arrived in Aceh and faced some hostility from fellow Muslims. Indonesia, like Thailand and Malaysia, is not a signatory to the United Nations’ 1951 Refugee Convention so is not obligated to accept the Rohingya. So far, refugees in distress have received at least temporary accommodation. ___ Associated Press writer Niniek Karmini in Jakarta, Indonesia, contributed to this report. ___ Follow AP’s migration coverage at https://apnews.com/hub/migration

Poster overload turning skylines into election wallpapers Let's talk about those vote-seeking posters hanging above us, shall we? Nowadays, I can barely see the sky due to the multitude of black and white election posters arranged diagonally from one end of the road to the other. Is it really necessary to have a thousand of them? What exactly does this poster overload achieve? Psychologically speaking, if you keep seeing and hearing a particular thing, whether it's a poster or a song, there's a good chance you might find that thing interesting. The marketing strategy is to consistently present a certain item in front of your eyes to the extent that, at a certain point, you would want to own it—just like GhorerBazar's Honey Nuts. I'm not criticising the product, nor am I saying it's bad, but I really wish to try it, because it keeps popping up on my newsfeed every day. Similarly, these posters and the music are the current honey nuts that you are forced to see to secure a vote for the upcoming election. It's an old-school strategy to become a leader. I do believe, however, that anyone aspiring to be a leader should possess intelligence, modern intellectual prowess, and some digital skills. The concept of securing votes should revolve around an individual's personality, rather than the prevalent approach. During my school and university days, earning votes for roles such as class president or course representative was challenging. Imagine wanting to be a class representative for your course, and the initial thought is to print a thousand copies of your face alongside an unrelated object, perhaps an eagle or a toilet brush, instead of earning votes based on your capabilities and merit. Does that sound sensible to you? However, I'm pretty sure I've seen many rooting for different markas every day. They are given a pickup truck, by the way—a large one that can accommodate around 30 people—along with two big speakers, just to shout and dance throughout the entire capital city. No one, mind you, not even the police officers, seems bothered about it! Can you imagine? It's like a free pass all over the city. All you have to do is party around, dance to an offbeat song, wear the headband of the marka you are supporting, and shout your epiglottis out. Free money and fun—isn't this what we all want? At least, it's better than most of the eight-hour full-time jobs where your boss yells at you for even breathing, right? These strategies, besides being weird and unethical, also contribute to other problems. Firstly, the idea of plastering the entire city with posters erodes the natural beauty of our cities. In the current urban environment, where trees are being cut down and fresh air is hard to come by because of exhaust fumes, the only remaining beauty is the city architecture—something these posters are taking away from us. Moreover, once the election concludes, the individuals seeking votes may not bother to remove these posters. They will likely linger as is for days until they eventually fall on their own. Secondly, our poor auditory senses are also being dragged into the chaos. Personally, I must admit, the initial "party" anthem had a certain vibe to it. Why, you ask? Beats me! Now, however, brace yourselves for the onslaught of musical tragedies. It's like they're trying to outdo each other in absurdity. Also, let's talk about the lyrics, shall we? Do they even make sense? Not really. It's like they threw words into a blender and hoped for the best. You'd think a toddler with a rhyming dictionary could do better. Someone needs to hand these lyricists a thesaurus and a crash course in coherence. The only thing they're winning is the race to make our ears bleed. The excessive use of campaign posters and loud music during elections has overwhelmed our senses and urban surroundings, impacting the aesthetics of our society. While these methods may aim to attract attention and influence votes, they contribute to environmental issues. It is crucial to remember that effective leadership should be based on qualities such as intelligence and merit rather than relying solely on attention-grabbing tactics. As we navigate through the unconventional campaign strategies, we should emphasise the need for more thoughtful and substantive approaches to political campaigning, ensuring the preservation of our urban environment and fostering a more informed electorate.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia launched a fresh drone assault on Ukraine after promising that strikes on the Russian border city of Belgorod that killed 24 people Saturday “would not go unpunished.” The Ukrainian Air Force said Sunday that it had shot down 21 of 49 drones launched by Russian forces overnight. The retaliatory Russian attack wounded 28 people in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, regional Gov. Oleh Syniehubov said. A hotel, kindergarten, apartment buildings, shops and administrative buildings sustained damage, according to the regional prosecutor’s office. Russia’s Defense Ministry said it had targeted “decision-making centers and military facilities” in Kharkiv. The ministry said the hit on the Kharkiv Palace Hotel had “destroyed representatives of the Main Intelligence Directorate and Ukrainian Armed Forces” involved in the “terrorist attack” in Belgorod. Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said a British journalist was among the wounded, while public German broadcaster ZDF said Sunday that one of its television crews had been in the hotel. A Ukrainian translator was hit by debris and seriously wounded, and one of the team’s security guards also was injured, ZDF said in a statement. “This is another attack by Russia on the free press,” ZDF Editor-in-Chief Bettina Schausten said. In the Kyiv region that surrounds Ukraine’s capital, a Russian drone attack caused a fire at a critical infrastructure facility, local officials said. They did not identify the nature of the facility. Russian troops additionally shelled the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson on Sunday, killing a 14-year-old boy and leaving a 9-year-old boy hospitalized in critical condition with a brain injury, according to regional Gov. Oleksandr Prokudin. On Saturday, shelling in the center of Belgorod killed two dozen people, including three children. Another 108 people were wounded in the strike, regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said Sunday, making the attack one with the most casualties on Russian soil since the start of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine 22 months ago. Russian authorities accused Ukraine of carrying out the attack, which took place the day after an 18-hour Russian aerial bombardment across Ukraine killed at least 41 civilians. Russia’s Defense Ministry said it identified the ammunition used in the strike as Czech-made Vampire rockets and Olkha missiles fitted with cluster-munition warheads. It provided no additional information, and The Associated Press was unable to verify its claims. “This crime will not go unpunished,” the ministry said in a statement on social media. In an emergency Saturday night meeting of the U.N. Security Council demanded by Russia, envoy Vasily Nebenzya accused Kyiv of a “terrorist attack.” In comments carried by Russian state media, Nebenzya claimed Ukraine had launched “a deliberate act of terrorism directed against civilians.” Ukrainians are bracing for further attacks. A blistering New Year’s Eve assault by Russia last year killed at least three civilians. ___ Kirsten Grieshaber contributed from Berlin and Elise Morton from London.

Scientific breakthroughs of 2023 The year 2023 was another stellar year for science. The astounding discoveries made by scientists in the fields of cosmology, nuclear energy, medicine, cancer and artificial intelligence are poised to profoundly impact our lives. Below is a recap of some of the noteworthy achievements—many first of their kind—of the year. Space exploration In the second year after its launch, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) ushered in a new era of space exploration. With its scientific value beyond reproach, this flagship observatory captured hundreds of fantastic images―from a wondrous shot of Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, the closest star-forming region to Earth sparkling like a humongous "galactic jellyfish" to the fastest growing galaxy to the stunning view of Saturn's rings. They spotted the oldest black hole, a Goliath with the mass of 1.6 million suns, formed 470 million years after the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago. This discovery could help explain how today's supermassive black holes, which anchor entire galaxies including our Milky Way, grew to such mind-boggling sizes. Peering into the past, JWST broke its own record for the most distant galaxy by reaching the epoch where some of the very first galaxies were created. It detected Earendel ("morning star" or "riding light"), the most distant star known in the universe, 12.9 billion light years away. Moreover, JWST has captured exquisite details of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A, one of the youngest supernova remnants that was formed roughly 340 years ago by the explosion of a huge star located around 11,000 light years from Earth in the Milky Way galaxy. The telescope also discovered a massive chain of 20 galaxies in the early universe, making cosmologists ponder about the formation of the largest structures in the cosmos. Nuclear fission For decades, scientists have attempted to harness fusion energy, essentially replicating the power of the sun on Earth. If mastered, it could provide the world with a near-inexhaustible source of clean energy, nearly four million times as much energy as fossil fuels like coal or oil. While conditions that are required in a fusion reactor―the temperature of the plasma, which is a hot "soup" of electrons and ionised hydrogen gas, be kept at temperatures exceeding 100 million degrees Celsius long enough―are now routinely achieved in experiments, improved confinement properties and stability of the plasma are needed. Specifically, towards the edges of the plasma, where it is relatively less hot, some of the hydrogen ions can combine with the electrons, creating neutral hydrogen particles. These neutral particles can cause energy to be lost from the plasma, thereby increasing the amount of energy required to sustain the reaction. For a process that is all about maximising energy outputs with minimum inputs, this is a major issue. To solve this issue, a team of engineers at University of Wisconsin at Madison have used a spray coating technology to produce a new "workhorse material" that can withstand the harsh conditions inside a fusion reactor. The technology uses a cold spray process to deposit a coating of the metal tantalum on the stainless steel surface of the reactor. This metal absorbs the neutral hydrogen and protects the reactor's walls. Although the technology is in its embryonic stage, in the future it could enable more efficient and compact fusion reactors that are easier to repair and maintain. Health and medicine The effort to beat back malaria with vaccines witnessed a big boost this year. Together with the world's first malaria vaccine, Mosquirix, a second vaccine called R21/MatrixM is poised to join the fight against this killer disease. Tests showed the new vaccine significantly lowered deaths in young children, the group the disease hits hardest. In addition, after the remarkable success of mRNA vaccines in protecting people against the scourge of COVID-19, a new mRNA-based vaccine designed to offer long-lasting protection against a broad range of influenza viruses was recently developed by Moderna and Pfizer. To date, medicine has had little to offer to tens of millions of people worldwide with Alzheimer's disease, and the few approved treatments have only targeted symptoms. But in July, US regulators approved the first drug, Leqembi, by Biogen and Esai, that clearly, if modestly, slows cognitive decline by tackling the disease's underlying biology. Another remarkable breakthrough this year: researchers at Rockefeller University in New York have developed a platform that uses microchips to grow lung buds from human embryonic stem cells. These stripped down "micro lungs" can be used to investigate the mechanisms of Coronavirus, influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, pulmonary diseases and lung cancer. Innovations in cancer therapies are increasing survival rates and curing more cancers. A new experimental drug called vorasidenib, developed at Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer Center, has been shown to significantly slow the growth of brain tumours by more than doubling the time before the cancer begins to progress. It also reduces the need for invasive therapies such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Medical researchers at MSK also developed a new class of drug called menin inhibitors that targets certain genetic changes that are commonly found in acute myeloid leukemia and lymphocytic leukemia. Similar to vaccines for childhood diseases and other illnesses, several cancer vaccines were developed at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota to treat melanoma, bladder cancer and prostate cancer. The clinic also developed a new type of radiation therapy, known as carbon ion therapy, to treat cancers that may be resistant to radiation or proton therapy, particularly breast cancer. Treatments for obesity, which has a sorry past, now has a groundswell of hope. A new kind of drug called glucagon-like peptide-1, originally developed for Type-2 Diabetes, can induce significant weight loss, with manageable side effects. Artificial intelligence Catalysing a year of artificial intelligence (AI) fanfare was ChatGPT, an AI-powered language model developed by OpenAI. It is capable of accepting both text and image inputs and output human-like text. Likewise, in May 2003, researchers at University of Texas at Austin developed an AI model that can transcribe complex thoughts from human brainwaves. Scientists are using AI for DNA sequencing and precision oncology to improve treatment and diagnosis. In particular, they are using AI to help identify patients who are at greater risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as stroke and heart failure. Furthermore, researchers at MIT have developed an AI model to predict a person's likelihood of developing lung cancer up to six years in advance. In September of this year, researchers at the University College in London announced a "groundbreaking" AI model for detection of diseases using retinal images. A joint US-UK-Bangladesh study provided the first real-world evidence that autonomous AI can improve medical productivity. In a paper published last month in the journal Science, Google introduced GraphCast, a state-of-the-art AI computer model that can predict the weather more accurately up to 10 days in advance, rivaling or even topping many gold-standard weather forecasting models. Computers Computers still largely rely on traditional silicon processors, which have hit something of a ceiling in terms of speed, memory space and energy efficiency. Now, IBM has changed that with the invention of a next-generation chip called "North Pole" that makes other processors look like relics from the "dark ages." Inspired by the human brain, architecture of the chip delivers massive improvements in energy efficiency, speed and memory space required for computation. It has the potential to run powerful AI hardware systems at unprecedented speed, while consuming vastly less power. More than a decade in the making, the era of exascale computers finally arrived this year. A computer named Frontier at Oak Ridge National Laboratory became the first exascale computer open to scientists for computational work. It can perform an unimaginable quintillion (1,000,000,000,000,000,000) mathematical operations per second. Among other applications, the computer is expected to help spur the development of ultralight materials for fuel-efficient cars and airplanes. Teleportation The catchphrase "Beam me up Scotty," the command Captain Kirk gives to his chief engineer Scott in the science fiction TV series Star Trek, may soon become a reality. In a paper published this month in Nature Communications, a team of scientists from South Africa and Spain claims to have successfully achieved first-ever Star Trek-style teleportation of images in human history. The team hopes to further develop their technology and explore its applications in various fields, such as biomedicine, meteorology and cryptography. Climate change Despite the farce at COP28, likened by Al Gore to "allowing weapons manufacturers to dominate a peace conference," a team of scientists at MIT has developed a process to convert planet-warming emissions of carbon dioxide into a powdery harmless fuel that could be converted into clean electricity. The powder called sodium formate can be safely stored for decades.These incredible scientific and technological achievements of 2023, albeit not exhaustive, is the latest compendium of some of humanity's scientific endeavours that are fundamentally shaping our daily lives. These breakthroughs will inspire innovators to push the boundaries in the coming years. Dr Quamrul Haider is professor emeritus at Fordham University in New York, US.

PAIA, Hawaii (AP) — A surfer in Hawaii has died after being injured in a shark encounter off Maui’s northern shore, according to the Maui Police Department. Authorities stopped short of calling the event an attack and didn’t describe the man’s injuries. Ocean Safety Officers grabbed and transported the man by jet ski to shore, where responders performed life-saving measures until medical personnel arrived and took the victim to a hospital for further treatment, police said in a news release. The man’s identity was not immediately released pending the notification of extended family and friends. Authorities did say the man was from Haiku, a small community on Maui’s north side. There were no initial signs of foul play. The investigation is ongoing and an autopsy is scheduled, according to the police department. The man was injured on Paia Bay, near Haiku, and shark warning signs were placed on beaches one mile on either side of the bay, according to Hawaii’s Department of Land and Natural Resources.

Explaining the potential exodus of funds from Bangladesh Historically, Bangladesh's financial account averages an inflow of about 2.5 percent of GDP. But in 2022-23, it experienced an outflow of 0.5 percent of GDP, which is quite a significant reversal. This has prompted the IMF to express concern that Bangladesh might have experienced capital flight in the last financial year. While the total shipment value of exports from the Export Promotion Bureau recorded under the balance of payment grew by 6.3 percent year-on-year in FY23, the receipts recorded by the Bangladesh Bank based on forex deposits at commercial banks increased only marginally relative to the previous year. As a result, unrealised export proceeds increased to 2.1 percent of GDP in the fiscal year. So, short-term trade credit could have sharply turned negative due to delayed repatriation and repayment of export proceeds. Interestingly, in one of its footnotes, the IMF mentions that while a number of factors could have contributed to the sudden divergence of financial account performance, high unrealised export proceeds historically point to capital flight. It goes without mention that capital flight is not a new phenomenon for Bangladesh. In December 2021, the Global Financial Integrity reported that the country lost approximately $8.27 billion on average annually between 2009 and 2018 from mis-invoicing of values of import-export goods by traders, to evade taxes and illegally move money across international borders. And so, the mismatch highlighted by the IMF could indicate that capital flight in FY23 has increased even more. Now, the obvious answer to why that may be is the upcoming elections. According to the IMF, "exporters reportedly choose to withhold brining their proceeds back into the country until the results of the election are finalised"—and the same could be true for others too, who may also be waiting see whether it is safe for them to bring their wealth back into the country post-election. But there is another important factor here, which the Bangladesh Bank mentioned in its Financial Stability Report 2022. It said, "…emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) may face the possibility of capital flight if the advanced economies increase their policy rates further in the near future"—as capital seeks higher yields in those countries due to higher interest rates. It also warned that "a sudden reversal of cross-border capital flow could occur due to an increase in geopolitical tensions"—which Bangladesh is unwillingly, but increasingly, becoming a part of. The economic repercussions of capital flight are manifold. Firstly, it syphons resources that could have been utilised for productive measures within the country, out of the country. It creates exchange rate pressure, which leads to inflationary pressure and increased cost of imports. The impact it has on foreign exchange also creates pressure on the government to rely on external borrowing. These are all realities that Bangladesh has had to grapple with in recent years. The issue of capital flight has been receiving renewed attention around the world, as several developing countries have been experiencing this as they make the transition to market economies. One recent study shows that capital flight from Africa—mainly driven by trade mis-invoicing—has led to much lower private investment (another problem Bangladesh has been suffering from). It has also exacerbated "declining domestic investment in productive activities, declining capital stock across nearly all productive sectors, macroeconomic austerity and vulnerability, and deindustrialisation of the economy, further entrenching unemployment, poverty, and extreme inequality in the provision of basic services." And these would also hold true in Bangladesh's case. There are a number of factors that are leading to capital flight from Bangladesh. Corruption, political impasse and instability, as well as irrational and sudden policy changes leading to investor apprehension are just some of them. Private agents view a high level of capital flight as a failure of macroeconomic policy and the institutions in charge of economic regulation. In that sense, private money would flee domestic instability and elevated sovereign risk. Economists have highlighted that the illegal outflow of capital is used to acquire property abroad or in conspicuous luxury consumption. A government report titled "National Strategy for Prevention of Money Laundering and Combating Financing of Terrorism 2019-2021" had identified the top 10 countries where tainted money is syphoned from Bangladesh. A number of international organisations have also noted how Bangladeshis are increasingly buying properties in countries such as the UK, Dubai and other foreign countries. That capital flight and embezzlement of funds from the banking sector have increased hand-in-hand since 2008 is also telling. It indicates that much of the funds that have been fraudulently taken out of banks have most likely been syphoned out of the country. The fact that the authorities and policymakers do not appear to be fully aware of, or admit to, the impact of illicit financial outflows have had on Bangladesh points to either ignorance or deliberate collusion between corrupt public officials with private business interests and the political establishment. It is important to note that Bangladesh has made substantial advancements in its legal framework to curb money laundering. The issue, therefore, is the lack of government initiative in effectively enforcing these regulations. Under the condition of anonymity, a number of government officials have said that the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit, Anti-Corruption Commission and other state agencies are unable to investigate allegations of money laundering against influential persons for various reasons, including lack of independence and because the perpetrators are well-connected and are being protected. According to a former Bangladesh Bank governor, "An integrated initiative of six relevant organisations in the financial sector is needed to stop money laundering." And while coordination among them is essential, what they also need desperately is independence to investigate, pursue and prosecute individuals/groups—the majority of whom happen to be powerfully placed—for their involvement in money laundering. The nexus formed between these money launderers and those in high positions—who are protecting them—must be broken. Eresh Omar Jamal is a journalist at The Daily Star.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Security forces in Afghanistan killed a number of Tajik and Pakistani nationals and arrested scores others involved in attacks against religious clerics, the public, and mosques, a senior Taliban official said Sunday. Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid, Taliban’s appointed defense minister, during a press conference in the capital, Kabul, said dozens of Tajiks and more than 20 Pakistanis were killed in the past 12 months “in operations by security forces.” He said scores of Tajiks and hundreds of Pakistanis involved in various incidents were also arrested during that period. Mujahid called on neighboring and regional countries to strictly monitor their borders. Tensions between Kabul and Islamabad spiked as hundreds of thousands of Afghans left Pakistan after authorities started pursuing foreigners they said were in the country illegally, going door-to-door to check migrants’ documentation, following an Oct.31 deadline. Mujahid also said there has been a 90% decrease in attacks by an Islamic State group affiliate in the past year. The militant group has carried out major assaults on schools, hospitals, and mosques, and has also attacked Shiite areas across the country. The IS affiliate has been a major rival of the Taliban since the latter seized control of Afghanistan in August 2021. IS militants have struck in Kabul, in northern provinces and especially wherever there are Shiites, whom IS considers to be apostates. Since taking power, the Taliban have barred women from most areas of public life and work and stopped girls from going to school beyond the sixth grade as part of harsh measures they imposed, as U.S. and NATO forces were pulling out of Afghanistan following two decades of war.

Colorado mom wanted for killing 2 of her children arrested in United Kingdom COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV/Gray News) - A mother wanted in connection with the deaths of two of her children has been arrested in the United Kingdom, according to police. Colorado Springs Police say Kimberlee Singler was taken into custody without incident. On December 19, just after midnight, police responded to a call about a burglary in the 5300 block of Palomino Ranch Point. When police arrived, they found two children, a 9-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy, dead inside the residence. Singler and an 11-year-old girl were found with injuries and taken to a local hospital. All three children are Singler’s children. As the investigation continued, a warrant for Singler’s arrest was issued on December 26. The arrest warrant included charges of murder in the first degree, child abuse, and assault. A $10,000,000 bond was set by the court. Copyright 2023 KKTV via Gray Media Group, Inc. All rights reserved.

Batters couldn't take it deep: Shanto Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto underlined the obvious shortcoming in the Tigers' batting effort following their 17-run defeat (DLS method) in the third and final T20I of the three-match series at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Sunday. A sorry batting effort by the Tigers saw them get bundled out for 110, the lowest T20I total ever at the venue, after being put into bat first. The visitors also became the first team to lose at the ground having batted first. As many as four batters in the top five got starts on the day but none could actually deliver an innings of substance that could potentially give Bangladesh a platform for a better score befitting the size of the totals that are usually seen at this particular ground. "Our bowlers did a great job but the batters did not get runs today," Shanto said in the post-match interview. "All the bowlers bowled really well. In T20s, the start is very important. We got starts today but we could not take the game deep - that is the mistake we made." The skipper himself was guilty of what he pointed out as the 'mistake' they made as he perished in a rather tamed dismissal by trying to further up the ante. He put away four boundaries and looked good for his 15-ball 17 but threw his hands at one of Adam Milne's fuller deliveries, giving himself plenty of room, and failed to get elevation or the gap to get past Finn Allen at point. Middle-order batters Towhid Hridoy and Afif Hossain struggled for most of their runs and conceded soft dismissals. Hridoy, who had a stifling experience in the middle, produced a lacklustre 18-ball 16 that saw two boundaries being hit, while Afif never looked like easing into a position to help Bangladesh toward a decent total and was put out of his misery for a 13-ball 14. It was the bowlers who managed to make a contest out of a potentially one-sided affair. Two wickets a piece from off-spinner Mahedi Hasan and pacer Shoriful Islam helped reduce the hosts to 49 for the loss of five in the ninth over. But New Zealand batters Jimmy Neesham and Mitchell Santner steadied the ship and took control of their 111-run target with a 46-run stand propelling the Black Caps to 95 for five after 14.4 overs before rain stopped play. Neesham came out as the aggressor as he took Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto for 14 runs in the 10th over to ease the pressure and tilt the permutations in favour of the hosts as his unbeaten 20-ball 28 put New Zealand ahead in DLS calculations. Santner delivered able support with the bat with his unbeaten 20-ball 18.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce pile into his Rolls Royce en route to their New Year's Eve festivities after his Chiefs came back to beat the Bengals in front of the adoring pop star at Arrowhead - Kelce and Swift were seen arriving separately earlier on Sunday morning - The two are believed to be spending New Year's Eve with friends and family - READ MORE: Swift and Chiefs fans rejoice as Kansas City beats Cincinnati, 25-17 Travis Kelce's 2023 ended with a win and his 2024 is beginning with another: Some quality time with girlfriend, Taylor Swift. The All-Pro tight end had only three catches, but his Kansas City Chiefs still came back to beat the visiting Cincinnati Bengals, 25-17, to clinch their eighth straight AFC West crown. Afterwards the couple was taken in a chauffeured golf cart to the players' parking lot, where DailyMail.com cameras caught Kelce absconding with Swift in his Rolls Royce. While Swift sported a Chiefs varsity jacket adorned with her nickname, 'Tay-Ta,' Kelce was dressed comfortably in sweats and a knit hat covering his shaved head. And, like the gentleman he is, Kelce was sure to open the door for his New Year's Eve date. The two are believed to be ringing in 2024 with family and friends at a private party in the Kansas City area. Kelce's mother, Donna, was seen in Swift's luxury box earlier in the evening. Afterwards the couple was taken in a chauffeured golf cart to the players' parking lot Kelce and Swift are in the players' lot next to Chiefs assistant coach Connor Embree's space Travis Kelce is seen opening a rear passenger door for Taylor Swift before riding shotgun The 6-foot-5 Kelce is seen towering over Swift in the Arrowhead Stadium parking lot Taylor Swift shoots a glance into the crowd at Sunday's Chiefs-Bengals game at Arrowhead Not only was Swift wearing a Chiefs varsity jacket, but it was embroidered with her nickname Taylor Swift reacts during Sunday's Chiefs-Bengals game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City Late in the fourth, cameras caught Swift celebrating the impending victory with a young fan when Kansas City's Chris Jones sacked Bengals quarterback Jake Browning on Cincinnati's final drive. Kelce was nearly a non-factor for Patrick Mahomes & Co., finishing the game with only three catches for 16 yards on four targets. He remains only a few yards short of his eighth consecutive 1,000-yard season. But for the 10-6 Chiefs, the victory was significant. Not only does Kansas City win its eighth consecutive AFC West crown, but it comes after a miserable 3-8 stretch that threatened their entire season. Naturally, many have suggested that Swift was somehow to blame for distracting Kelce, and the Chiefs from the job at hand, but that wasn't the case on Sunday as Kansas City came back to beat the Bengals, who fell to 8-8. Swift joyously reacted to the victory along one young fan, sticking her finger in the air and screaming in the boy's face. Travis Kelce's Rolls Royce pulls out of Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday night in Kansas City Travis Kelce's Rolls Royce pulls out of Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday night in Kansas City And as a number of fans noticed, Swift was wearing a Chiefs jacket with 'Tay-Tay' embroidered near the pocket - a reference to Kelce's rumored nickname for the 34-year-old singer. Swifties went wild over this on social media, noting that they are happy he's adopted the fan base's nickname for her. And as has become a familiar scene at Arrowhead, fans brought signs in hopes of catching her attention. One clever Chiefs supporter referred to the romantic couple as 'T-N-T,' writing that: 'They're Dynamite!' Another young attendee wrote that she was 'only here for Taylor.' Harrison Butker was a career-best 6 for 6 on field-goal attempts, Kansas City held the Bengals scoreless over their final seven possessions. Kelce (right) greets injured Bengals QB Joe Burrow (left) after beating Cincinnati on Sunday Swift laughs as she watches the first half of Sunday's rematch of last year's AFC title game Kelce had just three catches vs. Cincinnati and remains a few yards short of 1,000 for the year Swift has become friendly with the families of Chiefs players amid her romance with Kelce Patrick Mahomes had 245 yards passing and a touchdown for Kansas City (10-6), which also secured at least the No. 3 seed and one home playoff game. Isiah Pacheco ran 18 times for 130 yards while Rashee Rice had five catches for 127 yards. The Bengals (8-8), fighting for their own playoff lives, led by 10 early but found themselves trailing 25-17 when Butker hit the last of his field goals — a 46-yarder through blustery wind — with 2:59 remaining in the game. With one last chance, Jake Browning hit Tyler Boyd to convert a long fourth down and get into Kansas City territory, but back-to-back sacks by George Karlaftis and Chris Jones gave the Chiefs eight on the day and ended the Bengals' comeback hopes. Browning finished with 197 yards passing and a touchdown. Joe Mixon ran for 65 yards and had the TD reception. Butker converted from 54, 43, 27, 24, 48 and 46 yards, accounting for the game's final 18 points. Kelce is only a few yards short of registering his eighth consecutive season with 1,000+ yards The Bengals and Chiefs are accustomed to playing high-stakes games when the weather turns frigid, meeting for down-to-the-wire nail-biters in each of the past two AFC championship games. And they are usually accompanied by plenty of trash talk, be it from elected officials or — in the case this past week — players such as the Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase. The animosity usually spills onto the field, too. Midway through the second quarter, Chase and Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed got into a heated argument, and eventually a team-wide scrum resulted in offsetting personal fouls. The Bengals jumped ahead 10-7 when an 8 1/2-minute drive resulted in a field goal and a 6 1/2-minute march ended in Mixon's touchdown catch. Cincinnati then got the ball back when Trey Hendrickson ran right around rookie right tackle Wanya Morris, stripped Mahomes from behind and Sam Hubbard was there to pounce on the loose ball. Kelce only had 3 receptions for 16 yards vs. Cincy, with his longest reception being 10 yards Pass interference on Sneed in the end zone set up Browning's 1-yard TD run. Butker's first field goal got the Chiefs within 17-10, and they had a chance to take the lead when Mahomes saw Marquez Valdes-Scantling wide open on their next possession. But yet another dropped pass — the NFL-leading 40th by Kansas City this season — forced the Chiefs to settle for a field goal to trail 17-13 at the break. As the Chiefs' defense stiffened in the second half, their offense began showing signs of life. They stuffed the Bengals on fourth-and-1 at the Kansas City 6, then drove 82 yards for Butker's third field goal. And after the Bengals had to punt, Mahomes hit Rashee Rice for 67 yards to set up Butker's chip shot and give the Chiefs the lead for good.

Capital to be prioritised for spearhead sectors: central bank Hanoi (VNA) – The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) will improve credit quality and prioritise capital for spearhead sectors that drive the economic growth in 2024. It will continue operating an open market in a flexible and proactive fashion, and stand ready to support liquidity for the credit institution system. KB Security Vietnam Company (KBSV) expected Vietnam’s credit growth at 13-14% in 2024 on the back of a better economic situation as well as the removal of bottlenecks in the realty market and enterprises bonds. In 2023, unprecedented developments of the global economy posed formidable challenges to the country’s monetary policy. In the meantime, credit growth was well below expectations as enterprises were in a difficult situation though the SBV rolled out an array of support measures. Earlier, the central bank said the credit growth target in 2023 will be about 14-15%, with flexible adjustments in accordance with actual development so as to stabilise the macro-economy and support economic growth in a rational fashion. To realise the set goal, the SBV carried out an array of measures to back credit growth, including the issuance and amendment of related mechanisms and policies, while rolling out large-scale credit programmes for affordable housing projects, renovation of old apartment buildings, and seafood and forestry processing. It adjusted the refinancing interest rate and overnight rate of the interbank e-payment, and ordered credit institutions to reduce deposit interest rates by 1.5-2% a year. According to SBV Governor Nguyen Thi Hong, the bank has strictly followed the Government and the Prime Minister’s directions, and kept a close watch on the economic situation. The idea is to have a flexible response and roll out uniform measures and monetary policy tools, making contributions to the nation’s economic development. Despite drastic measures put in place, the bank found it hard to withstand the challenges in credit growth. As of November 30, the total credit of the entire economy had risen 9.15% year-on-year to reach some 13 million of billion VND (532.75 billion USD), which is far from the year-end target. SBV Deputy Governor Dao Minh Tu blamed the fall to the fact that mobilisation channels of the capital market did not show efficiency. They did not develop on par with their roles of supplying mid- and long-term capital for the economy. Therefore, there is a need to incrementally increase the economy’s reliance on capital from commercial banks, he explained. The ratio of credit to GDP was on the rise, posing great risks to the credit insitutions, he said, adding as they have a lot of liquidity while lending rates would be lower, there is ample room for credit growth. According to Dr. Nguyen Xuan Thanh, lecturer from the Fulbright School of Public Policy and Management, Vietnam’s credit would expand 11% for the whole 2023, while the figure could rise to 14-15% next year to support the GDP growth from 6.5%. A loose monetary policy should be maintained; however, the central bank could adjust it if the economy faces pressure from exchange rate and inflation, Thanh said./.

BEIRUT (AP) — The U.S. military said Sunday that its forces opened fire on Houthi rebels after they attacked a cargo ship in the Red Sea, killing several of them in an escalation of the maritime conflict linked to the war in Gaza. “We’re going to act in a self-defense going forward,” a White House official said. In a series of statements, the U.S. Central Command said the crew of the USS Gravely destroyer first shot down two anti-ship ballistic missiles fired at the Singapore-flagged Maersk Hangzhou late Saturday, after the vessel reported getting hit by a missile earlier that evening as it sailed through the Southern Red Sea. Four small boats then attacked the same cargo ship with small arms fire early Sunday and rebels tried to board the vessel, the U.S. Navy said. Next, the USS Gravely and helicopters from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier responded to the Maersk Hangzhou’s distress call and issued verbal warnings to the attackers, who responded by firing on the helicopters. “The U.S. Navy helicopters returned fire in self-defense,” sinking three of the four boats and killing the people on board while the fourth boat fled the area, the U.S. Central Command said. No harm to U.S. personnel or equipment, or casualties from the cargo ship, were reported. The Houthis acknowledged that 10 of their fighters were killed in the confrontation and warned of consequences. In Washington, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council sidestepped a question about the possibility of a preemptive strike against the Houthis to safeguard commercial shipping in the vital waterway. “I won’t say what’s on or off the table right now,” John Kirby told ABC’s “Good Morning America,” adding, “We’re going to do what we have to do to protect shipping.” He said the United States has “significant national security interests in the region” and “we’re going to put the kind of forces we need in the region to protect those interests and we’re going to act in self-defense going forward.” He said the U.S. has made it clear to the Houthis that “we take these threats seriously and we’re going to make the right decisions going forward.″ The events surrounding the Maersk Hangzhou represented the 23rd illegal attack by the Houthis on international shipping since Nov. 19, the Central Command said. It was the first time the U.S. Navy said its personnel had killed Houthi fighters since the Red Sea attacks started. For over a month, Iran-backed Houthis have claimed attacks on ships in the Red Sea that they say are either linked to Israel or heading to Israeli ports. They say their attacks aim to end the Israeli air-and-ground offensive in the Gaza Strip that was triggered by the Palestinian militant group Hamas’ Oct.7 attack in southern Israel. However, the links to the ships targeted in the rebel assaults have grown more tenuous as the attacks continue. The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee called on President Joe Biden “to look at what actions need to be taken in Yemen to be able to prevent the Houthis to continue to put commercial and military vessels at risk.” Noting Iran’s support for Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, told ABC’s “This Week” that the Biden administration should be more aggressive “in responding to escalation by Iran.’’ The Denmark-based shipping giant Maersk, owner of Maersk Hangzhou, said Sunday it would suspend shipping through the Red Sea again after the two attacks on its freighter. “In light of the (most recent) incident — and to give time to investigate the details of the incident and assess the security situation further — it has been decided that all transits through the area will be postponed for the next 48 hours,” Maersk was quoted as saying by the Danish public broadcaster DR. On Saturday, the top commander of U.S. naval forces in the Middle East said Houthi rebels have shown no signs of ending their “reckless” attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea even as more nations join the international maritime mission to protect vessels in the vital waterway and trade traffic begins to pick up. Earlier this month, Washington announced the establishment of a new international coalition to protect vessels traveling through the waterway. The United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain are also part of the new maritime security mission. Since the Pentagon announced Operation Prosperity Guardian to counter the attacks just over 10 days ago, 1,200 merchant ships have traveled through the Red Sea region, and none had been hit by drone or missile strikes, Vice Adm. Brad Cooper told The Associated Press in an interview on Saturday. —- Associated Press writer Jari Tanner in Helsinki, Finland, contributed to this report.

Your Sunday, the last day of 2023, was a very mild day with SW winds and increasing clouds. Afternoon high temperatures ranged from the low 60s north to near 70° south. An upper-level trough with an attendant cold front will ooze through the ArkLaTex with a few showers as it tries to stall briefly around midnight. There may be a few showers, but the front scoots on into Central Louisiana by dawn, the first morning of 2024. High pressure builds in for Monday and Tuesday. Your New Year’s Day will find clearing skies after morning lows near 30° north to near 40° south. Afternoon highs will range from the upper 40s north to mid and upper 50s south due to the slow movement of the aforementioned cold front. The next upper trough and attendant cold front will move through our area Tuesday night into Wednesday with rain likely overnight and decreasing as we go through Wednesday morning. Of course, high pressure builds in and dominates through at least Thursday night. The next upper trough ( YES, the roller coaster ride continues into 2024) of low pressure and attendant cold front will move into our area Friday evening into the overnight hours with a good chance of showers before exiting the area Saturday. A chill is expected. However, the chance for wintry precipitation appears low. Nonetheless, as they say, Stay Tuned!! From my family to yours, Happy New Year!!

As 2023 draws to a close, it’s a good time for a look back at the year, and to share a little about what’s ahead in 2024. I know many readers love data, so here are a few facts and figures about ‘The Chip Letter’ in 2023: Posts : 75 Views : > 500,000 New Subscribers : > 7,000 A big thank you to everyone who has supported The Chip Letter over the year, to everyone who has liked, commented on, or shared posts. A particular thank you to everyone who has recommended the newsletter over the year, including: all of whom write really terrific Substacks.And, finally, a huge thank you to everyone who has taken out a paid subscription. Your support has enabled me to spend more time on the newsletter during 2023. It really wouldn't be possible without you. If you’d like to join this group of supporters, and get a special 20% off New Year offer, then see the end of this post or just click here. A Year In The Chip Letter A small sample of 2023 posts that were highlights in one way or another: Most Read Post We’ve covered technology from a wide range of famous, valuable and important companies: Apple, Nvidia, Intel and Arm and many others. The most read post of the year, though, was a bit of a surprise to me : Perhaps though I shouldn’t have been surprised. Erlang seems to be a language that many people are aware of, which has had a big impact at WhatsApp, but which has remained decidedly ‘niche’. Look out for another programming language post early in the New Year. Most Commented Post I was a little uncertain about whether a post on “minis’ would attract much interest. I was wrong! It was wonderful to see so many insightful comments, particularly from readers who have used ‘minis’ over the years and were happy to share their experiences. My Favourite Post My personal favourite celebrated the 65th anniversary of the Integrated Circuit. After all, there would be no Chip Letter without Jack Kilby’s and then Robert Noyce’s early work, more than six decades ago. It was great to be able to celebrate the birthday, but not the retirement, of the IC! A Year in Technology Substack It’s also been a great year in technology Substack more widely. I’d like to mention just a small sample of the posts I’ve enjoyed most over the year. ‘s SemiAnalysis has had a remarkable year, breaking a number of great stories on the ongoing rivalries in AI hardware. I’m going to highlight a lower profile post though, on ‘The Future [and the past] of the Transistor’, as a personal favourite.There is a lot going on in semiconductors in Japan at the moment. Who better, then, to turn to than and his recent post on his Connect Substack. Jon links to his conversation on the Circuit Podcast - direct links here: Transistor | Apple | Spotify | Google. It’s a really engrossing and informative discussion. Highly recommended.And finally, Interviewing my mother, a mainframe COBOL programmer from . It’s an entertaining read on a craft that has a low profile, but is still vital.This position is the most important one in the bank, at least from a technical standpoint. If, let’s say, my mother and everyone on her team would quit their job, the bank would go under within a matter of weeks if they’re lucky. They have a rotation of people on her team being available 24/7. I remember when I was younger and she had to take a taxi to work in the middle of the night on a Sunday to fix a dead-lock problem. The rest of the post is just as engrossing. 2024 Preview So much for 2023. What about 2024? Already in the pipeline are posts on The History of Microcontrollers, The Past and Future of Moore’s Law, Part 2 of the Motorola 6800 Story, more ‘8-bit’, posts on GPUs, TPUs, and more.

From the Kenosha County Medical Examiner’s Office: Kenosha County Medical Examiner Patrice Hall is again warning the public about the dangers of illegal drug use after a recent spate of suspected overdose deaths. Hall’s office has responded to nine of these cases in a recent 12-day period, including three on Saturday, Dec. 30. The deceased individuals have ranged in age from late-20s to mid-50s, and the deaths have occurred in various locations in the City of Kenosha and west of Interstate 94, Hall said. A variety of substances are believed to be involved in these deaths, including cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines, and counterfeit prescription pills. The exact cause of each death will not be known until toxicology results become available, which often takes months, Hall said. “I can’t stress enough how great of a risk people are taking if they use illegal drugs and counterfeit pills,” Hall said. “Substances of all sorts are being laced with fentanyl, which can be deadly when used even in small amounts. If you obtain drugs illegally, you truly do not know what you are getting.” Hall noted that help is available and recovery is possible for people struggling with substance use. Kenosha County agencies continue to offer numerous prevention resources, including Narcan and fentanyl test strips.

Mountainview Baptist Church helps fight addiction with HOPE program RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) - Mountain View Baptist Church in Custer started a program called HOPE about a year ago, intending to get support to people struggling with addiction. The pastor says that this program has a different way of approaching the issue of addiction. “So, it’s a way for us to just stop and look at what does the bible say and where is the real root of the problem, instead of just the symptom,” said Matt Furse, pastor at Mountainview Baptist Church. The program consists of Friday night meetings for those in the program and community to discuss their problems with addiction and how to solve them. Additionally, the church serves as a support system for those fighting urges to go back to their addiction. “This program has really helped my thinking, what I call stinking thinking, and help get over that,” said one participant in the program. “I’ve always been grateful for what I have but now it’s like I’m thankful to God that I have these things. Before it was like oh yeah great, I’ve been very blessed, beneficial‚ but never really taking it to the next level that it’s because of God that I have these things,” said another participant. For one person in the program, the support he received has helped him turn his life around. “I talked to people at church, and they bring it up with me how they’ve seen a change in me since coming back and I feel it’s brought me confidence not to be anxious about what I do in life, and since I’ve been six months sober that’s helped me immensely, and its helped me focus on what’s important,” said Dallas Shields, a participant. All the people we spoke with in the HOPE program recommend coming by for their meetings every Friday at 7 p.m. if you feel like you need help. Copyright 2023 KOTA. All rights reserved.

Preserving cultural heritage, generating sustainable development Hanoi (VNA) – Engaging the community in the preservation of natural resources and cultural heritage values has an important role to play in boosting sustainable development since it will bring substantial benefits to the national economy. Preservation of cultural heritage According to Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Trang from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s Department of Cultural Heritage, cultural heritage could meet the development requirements of the cultural industry, especially cultural or heritage tourism. However, cultural heritage is only preserved when it is fully tapped for comprehensive development of the Vietnamese people, she said, adding the heritage must be safeguarded, and able to create sustainable livelihoods for the community. Ninh Binh is the first and the only locality in Vietnam possessing “double” UNESCO titles with its Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex – mixed Cultural and Natural Heritage of the World. The management board of the Trang An complex said that since the complex received the UNESCO’s recognition on June 25, 2014, its standout values have been honoured and preserved. There is an increasing awareness from the community of the significance of the heritage site, while the popularisation of the heritage’s values has been enhanced The province has organised the Ninh Binh – Trang An Festival - a national cultural tourism event to promote cultural exchange and honour cultural heritage in tandem with tourism development. Director of the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Manh Cuong said that a story of Hoa Lu ancient capital’s history and culture was highlighted at the the second Ninh Binh – Trang An Festival taking place on December 26-31, with a real scene show meticulously arranged on the background of Trang An complex’s mystical space. Thanks to the province’s initiatives to promote its heritage, Ninh Binh has enjoyed robust tourism growth. The number of visitors to the province has risen 39%, while tourism revenue has surged 39% since 2015. During January – September, the province hosted more than 5.5 million visitors, up 99.1% year-on-year, and gained an estimated 5 trillion VND (205.6 million USD) from tourism services. Tourism revenue has made significant contributions to preserving and renovating cultural heritage items within the Trang An complex. Over the past time, Ninh Binh has made a transition from agriculture-based economy to service-based economy with green and sustainable growth. The move has helped promote the vitality, potential and values of local heritage items, making them an asset of the community. More than 7,000 local women have contributed to the local preservation efforts by engaging in boat riding and cleanup activities at the complex. A boost to poverty alleviation Director General of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism at the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Trung Khanh said that tourism has bolstered the development of other sectors and restored traditional festival and crafts, while promoting economic restructuring. The non-smoke industry has generated a number of jobs, contributing to alleviating poverty, giving a facelift to the rural areas, and improving local livelihoods, he said. Developing tourism in tandem with preserving the environment and the value of cultural heritage is important to boost local socioeconomy, and sustainable tourism development, he explained. Khanh highlighted that Vietnam, boasting more than 40,000 relic sites and 15 UNESCO intangible cultural heritage, has huge potential to build cultural tourism offerings. Many localities have capitalised on their cultural heritage values to form diverse tourism products, including a tour connecting ASEAN countries’ heritage, Hue Festival, Nha Trang Sea Festival, Ha Long Carnival, culinary festivals, and stellar art shows such as Hoi An Memories and the Quintessence of Tonkin. Vietnam has been honoured as a leading destination in Asia for many years. Most recently, the country won the World’s Leading Heritage Destination at the World Travel Awards in 2023 for the fourth time so far. Together with the title obtained in 2019, 2020, and 2022, this time’s award shows the globally outstanding values and attractiveness of the country’s cultural heritage to the international community. Several destinations of Vietnam were also granted different awards this year. Among them, Hanoi won the World’s Leading City Break Destination title while Phu Quoc in the Mekong Delta province of Kien Giang was named the World’s Leading Nature Island Destination. Moc Chau in the northwestern province of Son La was listed as the World’s Leading Regional Nature Destination, Ha Nam province the World’s Leading Regional Cultural Destination, and Tam Dao in the northern province of Vinh Phuc the World’s Leading Town Destination. The awards and titles are a vivid illustration for the country’s efforts to promote heritage values in tourism and socioeconomic development./.

Heading into 2023, leading Wall Street prognosticators almost universally predicted plenty of pain for the U.S. stock market after 2022 turned into an annus horribilis. Indeed, many were saying that higher interest rates as well as an eventual economic downturn would tank the stock markets and compound the previous year’s losses. A few contrarian analysts, however, countered by pointing out that the pessimism was overdone and the resilience of the American economy would keep the markets afloat. Well, it turns out the bulls were right on the money. Far from the doom and gloom that forecasters like Morgan Stanley’s Mike Wilson and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s Marko Kolanovic had predicted, U.S. stock markets have enjoyed one of the most productive periods in recent decades. All major stock market benchmarks are sitting at, or close to, all-time highs after enjoying epic rallies. The broad market benchmark, S&P 500, has returned 25.5% in the year-to-date, a stunning comeback after4 last year’s crash and more than double the market’s median annual gain of about 10% since 2000. The S&P 500 is now just eight points away from hitting its record closing high of 4,796.56. The same scenario has played out with the Dow Jones and the Nasdaq Composite with both indices hovering at record highs. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the commodity markets. The Bloomberg Commodities Index (BCOM), a popular benchmark tracked by 23 exchange-traded contracts on physical commodities and more than $100 billion in assets, has cratered nearly 10% YTD, with everything from oil and gas to base metals and grains recording declines. Here’s a rundown of how different commodities performed in 2023. Energy Commodities Energy commodities recorded deep losses across the board with WTI and Brent crude oil futures the only energy contracts to post single-digit losses after falling -9.0% and -5.9%, respectively. Gasoline, heating oil, ethanol, refining spreads and Rotterdam coal all record double-digit losses due to weak demand. Meanwhile, natural gas futures have crashed 43% in the year-to-date to $2.53/MMBtu, thanks in large part to supply outpacing demand. Precious Metals Precious metals have performed relatively well in the current year, a rather surprising development given that the Fed raised interest rates as recently as May 2023. Spot gold is up 13.6% while silver has gained 1.4% YTD, with much of gold’s rally coming in the final quarter of the year after the Fed turned more dovish and even signaled a possibility of three interest rate cuts in 2024. The gold rally has coincided with a steep fall in interest rates, with the 10-year Treasury declining from 4.98% in mid-October to 3.84% currently. That said, platinum group metals (PGM) have not been as lucky, with platinum’s nearly 7% down to $998.70 per ounce while palladium has suffered an even worse fate after cratering nearly 36% YTD to $1,1160.50 per ounce. Base Metals 3-month COMEX copper, LME copper and tin futures three-month have all posted slight gains in the current year; however, prices of other key base metals including aluminum, nickel, zinc and lead have all declined. Key battery metals have had a year to forget. After peaking at an all-time high of nearly CNY 600,000 ($84,015) per tonne in November 2022, lithium carbonate prices have crashed to CNY 97,500 ($13,650) per tonne thanks mainly to a global oversupply. The lithium price crash has been so shocking that a Wall Street analyst has predicted the markets could swing in the opposite direction and usher in a lithium shortage as early as 2025. The same goes for another critical battery metal, nickel, with prices cut nearly in half thanks, again, to supply outpacing demand. The nickel market is facing a supply-demand surplus of 239,000 tonnes, the largest surplus in at least a decade, the International Nickel Study Group (INSG) has reported. That’s way higher than the group’s last forecast whereby it predicted the surplus will clock in at 171,000 tonnes in the current year. Grains and Soft Commodities ADVERTISEMENT The grains markets have not fared any better, with oat futures being the only grain contract to finish in the green after posting a small 1.2% gain. Soybeans and its associated products and wheat have posted double-digit declines with corn falling the most after plunging nearly 30% in the year-to-date. Meanwhile, lean hog futures have declined 21% YTD while feeder cattle futures have pulled back nearly 20% from the September peak due to an influx of supply. The wide pullback has come after grain prices soared in 2022 following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Favorable weather has led to ample global supplies despite the lapse of the Black Sea Grain deal.

Kazakhstan to consider creation of investment ecosystem at Presidential initiative On the first day, heads of a number of Kazakhstan's international diplomatic missions, as well as representatives of the Presidential Administration, the Office of the Prime Minister, central and local executive bodies, the quasi-public sector and national companies of Kazakhstan attended the meeting, the Kazakh MFA's press service reports. The meeting involved discussions on how to implement Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev's instructions for the Foreign Ministry to support investment and promote Kazakh exports. This included discussing mechanisms of institutional interaction and the practical aspects of investment generation, and addressing the specific and regional challenges that Kazakhstan faces in promoting exports. As instructed by the President, a comprehensive ecosystem to provide a supportive climate for investments is being created to develop and deepen interactions between state agencies, national companies, akimats (administrations) and foreign missions. Kazakhstan is developing regional investor relations offices, where investors will receive practical assistance in the implementation of their projects. The areas of responsibility for those involved in these offices will depend on the services and support requested by foreign investors. Foreign Minister Beibut Atamkulov stressed that the ambassadors of Kazakhstan would be "armed" with all relevant information, including packages of investment proposals and projects, to effectively work with potential investors. The information will include financial indicators, terms for entering the market, land allocation, infrastructure provision, customs and tax preferences, tariffs, and labour resources. The Foreign Minister said that the embassies would have to significantly enhance their efforts to attract investment and new advanced technology into Kazakhstan's economy. President Nazarbayev has set the task of large-scale promotion of products manufactured in Kazakhstan to foreign markets. The Foreign Minister noted that export promotion is one of the main priorities of the Government. Ambassadors were instructed to submit specific proposals on the expansion of Kazakhstan's exports to their countries and regions, taking into account the specific investment and business climate of their area of residence. During the meeting, reports were delivered by Deputy Foreign Minister Yermek Kosherbayev, First Vice Minister of Agriculture Arman Yevniyev, Ambassadors of Kazakhstan to Russia, Imangali Tasmagambetov, to China, Shakhrat Nuryshev, and to the US, Yerzhan Kazykhanov, Chairman of the Foreign Ministry Investment Committee Yerlan Khairov, Chairman of the Board of Kazakh Invest Saparbek Tuyakbayev, and AIFC Governor Kairat Kelimbetov. On the same day, a specialist meeting was held under the chairmanship of Mr. Atamkulov with ambassadors of Kazakhstan to discuss upcoming issues on the foreign policy agenda. It was noted that the Foreign Ministry is working on the implementation of President Nazarbayev's foreign policy, promoting national interests based on the principle of pragmatism. Foreign missions of Kazakhstan have been given a number of instructions for the upcoming year, primarily on the preparation of foreign visits of President Nazarbayev, visits of high-ranked guests to Kazakhstan, holding major international forums in Astana, as well as improving information, analysis and promotional activities, and strengthening financial discipline. The second day of the event was devoted to studying the practical aspects of attracting investment and promoting exports. Taking into account economic crises, trade wars and the growth of protectionism, it is important for Kazakh diplomats to be proficient in all aspects and trends of business and investment. There will be training and classes for Kazakh government employees on attracting investment and enhancing exports, including those based in Kazakhstan's diplomatic missions and those working for the central office on investment opportunities and trade potential of Kazakhstan. In the first nine months of 2018, the gross inflow of foreign direct investment in Kazakhstan increased by 8.4% and exceeded $ 17.3 billion. The main investors were the Netherlands (27.4%), the US (22.8%), Switzerland (13%), Russia (6.8%), China (6.7%), Belgium (5.4%), France (4.1%) and the UK (2.6%). Foreign trade turnover of Kazakhstan in the first 11 months of 2018 amounted to $84.3 billion and increased by 20.5% compared to the same period of 2017. Particularly, exports amounted to $54.6 billion (increase in 26.4%). Of which, non-resource export amounted to $14.5 billion (increase of 3%). The main items of Kazakhstan's export are agricultural products, energy products, textiles, food, construction materials, machinery, and equipment. The main trading partners of Kazakhstan are Russia, Italy, China, the Netherlands, the US, France, Switzerland, South Korea, Uzbekistan, Germany and Spain. The European Union countries account for over half of Kazakh exports, China and for the EAEU countries account for 10%, and the other Central Asian countries account for 5%.

BEIJING (AP) — Chinese President Xi Jinping said China would “surely be reunified” with Taiwan during his televised New Year’s address, renewing Beijing’s threats to take over the self-ruled island, which it considers its own. Taiwan split from China amid civil war in 1949, but Beijing continues to regard the island of 23 million with its high-tech economy as Chinese territory and has been ramping up its threat to achieve that by military force if necessary. “China will surely be reunified, and all Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait should be bound by a common sense of purpose,” Xi said in his annual address, according to the official Xinhua News Agency. China has described Taiwan’s Jan. 13 presidential and parliamentary elections as a choice between war and peace. Beijing considers the presidential front-runner, William Lai, who currently serves as vice president from the ruling Democratic People’s Party, a “separatist” and has accused him and Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen of trying to provoke a Chinese attack on the island. On Saturday, Chen Binhua, spokesman for China’s Taiwan Affairs Office, called Lai a “destroyer of peace” following a televised debate earlier that day in which Lai defended Taiwan’s right to rule itself as a democracy. Chen said Lai’s discourse at the debate was “full of confrontational thinking,” adding that the vice president is “the instigator of a potential dangerous war in the Taiwan Strait.” Lai had said during the debate that Taiwan is not subordinate to China and that he was open to communications with Beijing “as long as there is equality and dignity on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.” While Lai doesn’t describe himself as seeking independence from Beijing, he generally maintains Taiwan is already an independent country. Lai’s election rivals include Hou Yu-ih from the more China-friendly Kuomintang party, and Ko Wen-je from the Taiwan People’s Party.

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 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.

Carrying the same old headache into 2024 "At the beginning of the series, we spoke about what we have done before and that we want to do better than that. So, in that sense, I think this is a very successful tour," Bangladesh coach Chandika Hathurusingha reflected on how it went for the Tigers in their final series of 2023. Hathurusingha was spot on. Bangladesh did wrap the year up on a very sweet note -- registering maiden ODI and T20I wins and also recorded their best outcome in a T20 series, a 1-1 draw with one game washed out, against the Black Caps in New Zealand. But one aspect of the Tigers still remains a big headache. An upbeat Bangladesh will carry good momentum into the next year, but with that, they will also take along the disappointment of not finding answers to their batting woes even in their best-ever year in the shortest format. Barring the three matches played in the Asian Games, the Tigers have won nine of the 11 T20Is played this year. In fact, instability and fragility have been constant features of the Tigers' batting regardless of the format. The ODI World Cup debacle in India was also the by-product of a misfiring batting line-up, among many other issues. From misjudging the nature of the surface, nonsensical shotmaking, and faulty approach all the way down to just not being aware of their own capabilities with the willow -- the list of worries regarding Bangladesh's batting seems to be endless. Hathurusingha, however, focused more on the former than anything else when he analysed the Tigers' 110 all out in 19.2 overs in a game they ended up losing by 17 runs [via DLS] in Mount Maunganui yesterday. "We actually discussed after two overs that this is not going to be a 160-run wicket, but a 140 or 150-run wicket. But, of course, we did not achieve that. We did not bat well. We were 84 for four in the 10th over, so you are not going to win many games doing that," Hathurusingha explained. Initial misjudgement of the surface, however, barely justifies Soumya Sarkar getting trapped in front trying to play across the line in the very first over, Rony Talukdar lacking the skill required to fend off a delivery hurled at his pads at around 148kph, Afif Hossain making a fool of himself by going down the track against a spinner to only somehow inside edge one off his pads to the keeper or Shamim Hossain failing yet again to prove his worth at number six. It seemed as if the players were instructed to have a go at the Kiwi bowlers, even when the pitch perhaps merited a different approach, without having a proper plan in mind. The first game that the Tigers were able to chase down a mediocre total, despite a top-order wobble, was mostly due to an anchor role played at the top by Liton Das, who remained unbeaten for a team-high 42 in that game in Napier. Like in this series, most of Bangladesh's wins this year were due to outstanding performances from the bowlers, especially the pacers who bailed the Tigers out even when backed into a corner. Hathurusingha had jokingly asked the media during this series for suggestions as to "what could be done" regarding the batting that had left him clueless. Discounting the witticism, the Sri Lankan may as well start looking for answers if the Tigers hope for their 2023 T20 success materialise into a successful World Cup campaign in June 2024.

You read that correctly sauerkraut ice cream is a favorite briny, salty, creamy treat people flock to central Pennsylvania to eat at the start of every New Year. Pork and sauerkraut are New Year's staples for prosperity and good fortune for Pennsylvanian's of German ancestry. Urban Churn is known for taking this tradition to a new level by churning up sauerkraut ice cream. The owner Adam Brackbill said he uses all-natural ingredients and traditional ice cream production techniques to make simply delicious flavor combinations, so this festive twist was a natural fit for the company. Brackbill says its surprisingly good as the acid from the sauerkraut creates a tangy buttermilk flavor. This oddly tasty treat draws in customers from across the state and nearby states like Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, and New Jersey. Since 2016, Urban Churn has been mixing and selling 50 gallons of sauerkraut ice cream for a limited time. You can stop into to any of the three locations to give it a try while supplies last: - 258 Westminster Drive, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17109. - 6391 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17050. - 1004 North 3rd Street, Harrisburg, PA 17104.

A lot of our illustrated work in 2023 celebrated the overlap of American culture, politics, society and thought. Some of our favorite illustrations this year feature topics where society struggles, triumphs, connects and conflicts. The artwork tried to capture the brief instance where we meet and see each other in our journeying. Using design principles, elements and techniques, our illustration team sought to visually explore connections and the sometimes small moments we share. Almost all of our top illustrations of 2023 feature mashups of two different visual concepts, creating a new way of looking at a challenge. Some illustrations are new ways to illustrate concepts we’ve long professed or understood: like pants on fire or a new way of looking at the Utah state Capitol architectural elements. Other concepts paired new things with old to create completely new ideas, such as the Statue of Liberty in forward motion wielding a mom-scale handbag. Or two disparate voices shouting ideas from American canonized documents. Or two bald eagles engaged in a free-for-all. We hope the top illustrations of 2023 and their respective stories help you explore new ways of thinking. Perspective: Is it fair to judge politicians by their speeches?

Perspective: The case for patriotism A stronger sense of what we have in common might improve the way we approach everything from debt ceiling debates to climate change. America is experiencing a ‘great dechurching.’ What’s happening to all the church buildings? Closing a church isn’t just about shutting its doors, as many communities and pastors are finding out.

Coetzee out for SA, India add Avesh South African fast bowler Gerald Coetzee has withdrawn from the second Test against India after developing pelvic inflammation during the first test win in Centurion this week. The 23-year-old experienced discomfort in his pelvis, which got progressively worse while bowling on day three of the match on Thursday, where South Africa won by an innings and 32 runs. He underwent scans on Friday which revealed the extent of the injury, a statement from Cricket South Africa said. No replacement has been added to the squad. Coetzee was part of a four-man seam attack for South Africa at Centurion where they bowled India out twice. But the second, and final Test at Newlands in Cape Town will likely see the return of spinner Keshav Maharaj to the home line-up. Meanwhile, BCCI has announced right-arm pacer Avesh Khan as a replacement for Mohammed Shami ahead of the second Test. Avesh impressed in the recently-concluded ODI series against South Africa with six scalps. Avesh is uncapped at the Test level, but has represented India in eight ODIs and 19 T20Is. He has 149 first-class wickets at an average of 22.65.

Sticking to your New Year’s resolution can be challenging, but achievable with the right solution RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) - As we’re entering the New Year, it’s the season for setting resolutions. Some we’ll keep, others, well, let’s call them ‘aspirations’. According to the Washington Post, New Year’s resolutions often have a bad reputation because they are viewed as either a success or failure. This can happen when people set overly ambitious goals, don’t fully understand why they’re making these resolutions, or simply aren’t ready for change. So, what are people saying about their 2024 resolutions? “To have a better outlook on things, just to continue doing good and staying good, and just doing nothing but good,” said Ethan Grace. One reason some individuals succeed with New Year’s resolutions is due to a psychological phenomenon known as the ‘fresh start effect.’ This refers to a specific date on the calendar, like the start of a new year, that gives people a sense of a fresh beginning and motivates them to make positive changes. “I’m going to try and start eating healthier because right now I’m eating a really bad diet, and I think it’s affecting my health. So, I want to start getting educated on what the proper foods are and trying to benefit myself so I can feel better,” said William Tracy. To stick to your New Year’s resolution, share it with someone supportive and find a mentor or workout buddy for specific goals. Copyright 2023 KOTA. All rights reserved.

The 1,000 capacity cultural space, based in Armley Road, has welcomed Galleria. The restaurant and bar features a wood-fire grill with an all-day menu serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The venture is being steered by stalwarts of the Leeds food and drink scene. Andy Castle, previously of Ox Club, has taken on the role of head chef while front of house will be led by Chris Allsop. Pizza Pilgrims New joint Pizza Pilgrims opened in Leeds in November following success in London. The pizzeria, which gave away 1,000 slices to celebrate its November launch, sources ingredients from Italy with its dough made fresh daily. Menu highlights include the nduja, double pepperoni and honey, carbonara and the eight cheese pizzas. In our four-star review, we praised the service. An extract reads: “We enjoyed great, swift service with pizza to rival many others in Leeds city centre and beyond. Established favourites such as Rudy’s, Culto et al will surely be looking over their shoulder.” Cinnabon An American bakery chain has opened a new branch in Leeds. In recent years, US favourite Cinnabon has been launching branches across the UK. Their latest in Leeds city centre based in Commercial Street. Their menu includes an extensive range of cinnamon rolls and brewed drinks. You can eat-in the new Leeds branch or take their treats out with you. The Olive Tree Brasserie The Olive Tree Brasserie arrived in Leeds, in December, after enjoying success in Lytham, Chester and Stockton Heath. The new Leeds venue follows a £700,000 investment in South Parade - which previously housed Stockdales. The food has Greek inspiration at its core, with a focus on sustainability and a large range of veggie and vegan options with 40 per cent of their menu being plant based. Meze and main course items include Mediterranean favourites such as the famous gyros, lamb kleftico, moussaka, kebabs and dolmades. Flat Iron Flat Iron has opened a two-floor, 110 cover restaurant, in Leeds city centre in the unit on the corner of Albion Place and Lands Lane - the former home of Byron Burger.

Fluffy Fluffy Fluffy Fluffy launched in Leeds following success in Manchester, Leicester and Reading.

The chef posted about his new venture, which is said to be ‘fish-heavy’ and surf shack’, on his Instagram page. O’Hare said the change has come from the impact of Brexit, the coronavirus pandemic and the cost of living crisis. Psycho Sandbar will be a fine dining restaurant designed to be more accessible to guests. North Brewing Co North Brewing Co opened their latest venue in the Harrogate Road premises which was formerly Alley Cats. The popular Chapel Allerton spot, closed in September. The Northern Market Northern Monk took on the former Assembly Underground venue, in Leeds, in 2023 with the aim of being a thriving beer hall and street food joint. Russell Bisset, Northern Monk co-founder, said: “At Northern Monk we’re on a mission to create incredible beer experiences. If we do our job right, hopefully some of the best in the world. We’ve long harboured dreams of more Northern Monk venues where we can do just that, but the pandemic sadly pushed those back. “Our two current tap rooms are based in former textile mills where we’ve really celebrated their heritage and role in the North. The Northern Market sees us take on a 140-year-old Grade II listed building, directly opposite Leeds Town Hall in the heart of the city’s civic quarter. We can’t wait to give the building a new lease of life as the Northern Market, alongside our food vendors, while acknowledging its history and place in the city.” Mr Yang Mr Yang Chinese Street Food and Noodle bar opened an authentic new restaurant in the Merrion Centre, Leeds, in the autumn of 2023, offering what owners have dubbed a 'diverse culinary experience’. Owner Kwong Ham Chiu said: "Having successfully run Mi's Noodles in this location, we saw an opportunity to introduce a fresh concept with Mr Yang's Chinese Street Food.

The independent restaurant has taken over the former ASK Italian in Lands Lane. Chef Tom Hunter will head up the kitchen of the 100-cover restaurant. The chef’s work will be familiar to regulars that dined in The Reliance. Farmhouse owner Jordan Aspinall, himself a chef with over 14 years in the industry, will be working across both sites to ensure the Leeds venue replicates the success of the Harrogate flagship restaurant. Jordan said: "We create our tried and tested favourites, with no trick cooking, no clever marketing, just good food served by friendly people. We originally looked for a restaurant in Leeds in 2019 when we opened in Harrogate, and so this has been in our minds for quite some time. "I’m confident we’ve found the perfect site for our second farmhouse and can’t wait to bring our amazing brunch to Leeds city centre." On the menu, you'll find pancakes, eggs benedict and an American breakfast. Elsewhere, there's burgers, tacos and salads. Meals can be washed down with appealing cocktails. White Cloth Hall An exciting new food and drink hall will open in Leeds city centre in 2024 The owners of the popular Whitelock’s Ale House have announced their acquisition of an iconic building in the heart of Leeds. Located just behind the Corn Exchange, White Cloth Hall will be transformed into a new food and drink hall in early 2024. It will champion the independent culinary scene in our city. Originally built in 1775 as a market for merchants to sell undyed or ‘white’ cloth, White Cloth Hall has hosted various Leeds businesses over the past 250 years. The Whitelock’s team will be taking on all three existing units, which most recently housed Pizza Express, a BrewDog bar and a hairdressers. White Cloth Hall is the latest project from Whitelock’s managing director and co-founder of Five Points Brewing, Ed Mason. In 2012, Ed and the Whitelock’s team relaunched Whitelock’s, famous as the oldest pub in Leeds, and most recently opened The Meanwood Tavern in 2022. Ed said: “This is such a beautiful and iconic building - we’re really excited about taking it over. At Whitelock’s we celebrate and support local independent breweries and food and drink suppliers - and we’re looking forward to doing the same at White Cloth Hall, on an even bigger scale.” To find out the latest food and drink news in our city you can visit our Best in Leeds homepage.

Sydney [Australia], January 1 : Australian opener David Warner announced his retirement from ODI cricket on Monday, just a couple of days ahead of his farewell Test match against Pakistan at his home arena of Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) which will start from Wednesday. The two-time Cricket World Cup winner made the announcement on the morning of New Year's Day. The left-handed opener compiled 6,932 runs in 161 ODIs at an average of 45.30, at a strike rate of 97.26. Warner has also registered 22 centuries and 33 fifties in the format, with the best score of 179. Often stepping up at global tournaments, Warner also bows out with 1,527 ICC Cricket World Cup runs, scored at an average of 56.55, at a rate better than a run a ball. Only five men's batters stand above him on the all-time World Cup run tally, including compatriot Ricky Ponting (1743). Warner has six centuries and five half-centuries in his World Cup career. "I have got to give back to the family," Warner said during his announcement as quoted by ICC. "That (ODI retirement) was something I had said through the World Cup, get through that and winning that in India is a massive achievement." Warner has retired on a high as not only he won the World Cup this year, but he also scored 535 runs in 11 matches at an average of 48.63 and a strike rate of above 108, with two centuries and two fifties. He ended up as the sixth-highest run-scorer in the tournament. There was a caveat to Warner's announcement however, with the veteran open to a return for the 2025 Champions Trophy should he be required. "I know there is a Champions Trophy coming up and if I am playing decent cricket still in two years' time and they need someone, I am going to be available," said Warner. Warner will still be available to play T20Is, with the ICC T20 World Cup coming this year in June in the West Indies and the USA. The 37-year-old entered the Australia set-up as a limited-overs specialist, debuting for the team in T20I cricket in January 2009 against South Africa before playing a first-class match, smashing 89 in 43 balls with seven fours and six sixes. He made his ODI debut against the same opposition a week later, before making a half-century in his second outing in the format.

This month, dozens of lists have been published about the best films of 2023, and each critic likely defined “best” differently. My definition is simple: These are the 10 films released this year that I most want my kids to see. 1. ‘A Million Miles Away’ There is no movie I’d rather my kids watch this year than “A Million Miles Away.” It’s a true story about a migrant farm worker who, through the power of hard work and the support of his family, became an astronaut. The movie captures so much of how I hope my kids will interpret and pursue their world. It does not have the bright colors or packed plot typically needed to entertain the youngest of kids, but if there’s one movie worth trying to get them to sit through, this is it. How to watch: Stream on Amazon Prime. 2. ‘Leo’ You probably didn’t predict that an animated movie featuring Adam Sandler as a classroom pet lizard would be the wisest movie of the year. But here we are. The film’s first half involves the titular pet lizard dispensing legitimate life lessons to each of the children in the classroom. Then, in the back half, Leo is sent on an adventure where he must apply those lessons himself. How to watch: Stream on Netflix. 3. ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ This movie is the likely Oscar winner for Best Animated Picture, and easily the prettiest movie of the year. It’s a sequel to “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and it’s a spectacular half of a movie — the other half is set to release sometime in 2024. “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” is slightly darker than the first entrant, so beware of watching with the youngest of kids. I want my kids to see this film because it has a deeply engaging hero who is trying to be as good as possible. How to watch: Stream on Netflix. 4. ‘Chupa’ This film about the mythological Mexican chupacabra hits all of the same notes as “E.T.” Kids find the creature and help it escape the evil scientists and return. But in this retelling, the adventure brings the family together. How to watch: Stream on Netflix. 5. ‘Migration’ This light-hearted animated movie from the makers of “Minions” and “Sing” is a road trip movie that loves families. Yes, the overprotective father is hesitant to go out on an adventure, but his instincts ultimately help the family work together and save the day. How to watch: Playing in theaters. 6. ‘The Boy and the Heron’ The latest film from Hayao Miyazaki is a whimsical post-World War II adventure to save a family and create peace. The film is a more profound reflection on birth, death and parenthood than you’d expect in family fare, and it probably isn’t the best fit for families with young children. But this is a movie that is asking all the right questions. How to watch: Playing in theaters. 7. ‘The Magician’s Elephant’ I want my children to see this movie about a boy searching for an elephant to save his sister because of its deserved — and explicit — messages about the power of redemption and sacrifice. The story comes from the master behind other deeply moral tales such as “The Tale of Despereaux.” How to watch: Stream on Netflix. 8. ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” is fun. It keeps kids engaged and interested as Mario tries to save his brother and prove that he can hold down a dependable job as a plumber. As morality tales for children go, this one is unobjectionable. How to watch: Stream on Netflix. 9. ‘Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget’ The message of this movie is simple: Obey your parents, or you might become a chicken nugget. Sure, it’s a bit didactic, but sometimes as a parent I can use all the help I can get, even if it’s from a group of hysterical stop-motion chickens 23 years later. How to watch: Stream on Netflix. 10. ‘Crater’ “Crater” is the best Disney film for families this year. It follows a boy who lives on a lunar colony for one last adventure before he moves. It’s a film that extols classic virtues such as bravery, justice and friendship. How to watch: Available for purchase.

David Warner retires from one-day cricket Dynamic Australian opener David Warner called time Monday on one-day international cricket ahead of his farewell Test against Pakistan this week, but kept the door open to play the 2025 Champions Trophy if needed. The 37-year-old will pad up in his 112th and final Test in his home city Sydney on Wednesday, having plundered 8,695 runs at an average of 44.58, with 26 centuries and 36 half-centuries. At a press conference at the Sydney Cricket Ground, he also announced his retirement from ODIs, where he has been a fixture since his debut in 2009, helping the team win the World Cup in 2015 and 2023. "I've got to give back to the family and also on the back of that I'm definitely retiring from one-day cricket as well," he said. "That was something that I had said through the (2023) World Cup, get through that, and winning it in India, I think that's a massive achievement. "So I'll make that decision today, to retire from those forms, which does allow me to go and play some other (Twenty20) 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," he added. "If I'm playing decent cricket in two years' time and I'm around and they need someone, I'm going to be available." The Champions Trophy has not been played since 2017, but is set to be resurrected in 2025 in Pakistan. Traditionally 50-over cricket, reports have said there is a push underway to make it T20. Warner leaves ODIs after 161 matches, smashing 6,932 runs at an average of 45.30, with 22 centuries. Among Australians, only Ricky Ponting with 30 has scored more one-day tons. He will continue to be available in the T20 format, with the 2024 World Cup in the Caribbean and United States a target. Warner's decision to depart one-dayers means Australia will need a new opener for their three-match series against the West Indies in February, which follows a two-Test series in Adelaide and Brisbane. Vital role Ahead of his ODI announcement, Cricket Australia chief Nick Hockley paid tribute to Warner's "amazing Test career". "We are all extremely grateful for his immense contribution to this form of the game," he said in a statement. "David's wonderful attacking style not only played a vital role in many Australian victories, it also enthralled and entertained fans across the world and drew many to Test cricket." A larger-than-life character, Warner was described by Australia coach Andrew McDonald over the weekend as "probably our greatest ever three-format player". But he will forever be remembered for the role he played in the notorious ball-tampering scandal of 2018 in South Africa. Along with skipper Steve Smith, he was banned for a year for his part in the third Test debacle in Cape Town that saw Cameron Bancroft use sandpaper to scuff the ball before a crude attempt to conceal the evidence down his trousers. Reflecting on his Test career, Warner said it was a "fairytale ending" to hang up his gloves in Sydney. "I would have never imagined opening the batting for New South Wales or anyone to be honest when I first started but to be here, 112 Tests I think, I still pinch myself," he said. He added that he would like to be remembered as someone "authentic and honest" who has "gone out there and given it his all".

Kazakhstan to remain uranium mining leader, says Energy Minister "Despite the difficulties in the global uranium market, we intend to maintain leadership in uranium mining. Now there is an oversupply of uranium and this trend continues," he told the extended board meeting of the Ministry of Energy. According to the ministry's press service, in 2018, Kazakhstan produced 21,699 tons of uranium, which is in line with the target figure, and, this year, it is planned to produce 22,742 tons. The Minister highlighted that considerable uranium reserves are Kazakhstan's competitive advantage. "Therefore, the main goal for us is to increase the gross value added of the nuclear industry through the development of all the major segments of the nuclear fuel cycle and the creation of nuclear power industry that would use its own resource base to the maximum extent. Vice-Minister Sungat Yessimkhanov and Director of Department of Atomic Energy and Industry Development Batyrzhan Karakozov are to ensure the introduction of amendments to the legislation on civil and legal accountability in the nuclear field in the first half of the year," Kanat Bozumbayev concluded.

From hosting Asian Champions Trophy to starting Grassroots Development Program, a look at Hockey India's 2023 By ANI | Published: January 1, 2024 08:32 AM2024-01-01T08:32:33+5:302024-01-01T08:35:04+5:30 New Delhi [India], January 1 : The stellar year 2023 marked several key milestones for Hockey India as it ... New Delhi [India], January 1 : The stellar year 2023 marked several key milestones for Hockey India as it began with the successful completion of the FIH Odisha Hockey Men's World Cup 2023 Bhubaneswar-Rourkela. India became the first nation to host back-to-back editions of the FIH World Cup, and the tournament was highlighted by the inauguration of the new 'jewel' of hockey, the Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium, with a seating capacity of over 20,000 bucket seats. As the year carried on, the national sporting body made its intentions clear to revamp domestic tournaments and uplift grassroots initiatives. The first major announcement came in February with Hockey India signing a multiyear deal with interactive live-streaming platform FanCode to livestream all matches played at Hockey India National Championships in India and the Indian subcontinent, as per a Hockey India press release. Furthermore, the federation announced several steps to make National Championships akin to international tournaments like post-match presentations, and closing ceremonies. Also, for the first time, the umpires officiating at the National Championships were provided with radios for on-field communication and Hockey India took steps to introduce video referrals in domestic tournaments. In March, Hockey India announced the ambitious Grassroots Development Program designed to unearth young talent and improve the bench strength of the National Senior and Junior teams for men and women. Under this initiative, Zonal Championships at the Sub-Junior (U-16) and Junior (U-19) levels were held across North, South, East, and West Zones throughout the year. Furthermore, the national federation distributed over 11,000 hockey sticks, 3,300 hockey balls, and other vital playing safety equipment, worth over Rs 8.00 Crore to its State Member Units and members of Hockey Academies to bolster the development of the sport across the nation. Urging all the State Member Units to work closely with their respective district associations to host regular activities to help promote hockey and scout talent, Hockey India also kicked off the 'Hockey India ka Abhiyan Har Ghar Ho Hockey Ki Pehchan' program. The federation also disbursed a grant of Rs 2 lakh each to all its State Member Units to aid them in achieving their deliverables and complying with the necessary guidelines. Additional grants were also announced by Hockey India for State Member Units and District Units after the completion of their respective mandates. Hockey India also announced a special 45-50 days coaching camp and international matches for the Indian Sub-Junior Men's and Women's Team with former Indian Hockey Captain Sardar Singh, and former India Women's Captain Rani taking up the mentorship and Coach's role. The camp was followed by Indian Men's and Women's Sub-Junior Teams, for the first time, travelling to Belgium and the Netherlands for an international competition in October. After successfully implementing the landmark Hockey India Coaches Education Pathway that benefitted scores of aspiring coaches in the country, the national sports federation also launched a holistic Hockey India Match Officials Education and Development Plan to empower aspiring Umpires and Technical Officials and to develop and educate the Umpires and Technical Officials currently officiating at the district and state level tournaments. Also, seeing the resurgence of the sport's popularity in the country, Hockey India announced steps for the re-launch of the Hockey India League (HIL) and began working towards establishing a successful financial model to sustain the tournament, after consultations from the commercial agency Big Bang Media Ventures Pvt Ltd. Also, India hosted successful editions of the Men's Asian Champions Trophy Chennai 2023 and Jharkhand Women's Asian Champions Trophy Ranchi 2023, bringing international hockey back to different parts of the country. India ended up winning both the titles as well. Moreover, India will once again host the Women's FIH Hockey Olympic Qualifiers in Ranchi starting from January 13. Hockey India President Dr Dilip Tirkey described 2023 as a 'successful' year for the federation and said, "It has been a great and successful year for Hockey India as we were able to implement key steps in ensuring the growth of the sport at domestic and the national level. I extend my gratitude and hearty congratulations to all the members of the national federation, state member units, and district units, who made useful contributions in helping us achieve our mission for this year. There is still a long road ahead and we will continue to dedicatedly work towards our goals of further developing our beloved sport of hockey in India and all around the world."

Every year it feels like Emmerdale is set for a major 12 months but 2024 looks to be filled with more juicier storylines than ever before. We thought it would be a good idea to round up the best of the upcoming Emmerdale 2024 storylines. We’ve put together a list of spoilers we’ve previously reported alongside some teased plots which have dropped in recent days. Unsurprisingly, it appears 2024 will be a big year for the Dingle clan. Where can things go from here? In the coming months, we'll see old faces return, families ripped apart and a steamy affair is being teased. There's also a village wedding on the horizon. Read more: The 25 Dingle family members that most Emmerdale fans always forget exist Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw has offered a few hints at what to expect. Take a scroll and see what is planned for Emmerdale 2024. Former Corrie star joins A former Coronation Street star is set to join Emmerdale in 2024. Paula Lane, 37, is likely known to you from her spell in Corrie as Kylie Platt. She appeared on the cobbles between 2010 and 2016. In Emmerdale, Paula will be seen portraying Ella Forster. We will first meet her sticking up for Mandy Dingle at a veterinary ball she’s attending with her partner Paddy. Far from a pushover, luck is soon to come Ella’s way when a chance encounter with Manpreet Sharma opens up an opportunity. And it’s not long before Ella is turning heads in the village. Reflecting on her new role, Paula said: "I'm so excited to be joining the cast of Emmerdale. Everyone has been so welcoming and I can't wait to start a new chapter playing the role of Ella. I've already heard there are big plans for her and I can't wait to see her navigate a new life in the village and hopefully make some friends.” Elsewhere, Paula has appeared in Father Brown and Doctors. The Emmerdale team are delighted to welcome her to the soap. Dingle drama The Dingles have faced plenty of heartbreak over the last few years and it isn't going to change anytime soon. Emmerdale producer Laura said: "We'll see Lydia continue to struggle at the hands of her ordeal with Craig and Lydia and Sam Dingle (James Hooton) will find out what happened on that night so how is Lydia going to cope with that news. How will Sam cope with that news too? It's going to really test Lydia and Kim Tate's (Claire King) friendship and we'll have to see if they can get it back on track similarly with Sam and Lydia, hopefully the new year will bring some new hope for them." Caleb's wife revealed Caleb Milligan's wife and Nicky Milligan's mum Ruby will finally appear on the show. Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw teased: "We've heard mention before of Caleb's mum and Nicky's wife and we've just heard little bits from Caleb saying it's 'all over between them' and that 'there's nothing going on' but is that really true? "In the new year we will see Ruby bursting onto our screens. She is an absolute firecracker. She's going to put a real spanner into the Dingles. Is her and Caleb's relationship really over as he's made out? We'll find out in the new year. Fans will have to wait and see who bosses have cast as the feisty newcomer.” Heartbreaking tragedy It has been confirmed that a tragedy will occur at the start of 2024 which will change dynamics for one family forever. Speaking about the hard-hitting storyline, Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw said: "There is going to be tragedy in the village in January which is going to affect two of the most loved families. It's ultimately going to tear friendships apart and change the dynamics of one of those families forever."

This is Emmerdale so things aren’t likely to go smoothly. Belle Dingle and Tom King are due to marry on Valentine’s Day. How romantic. Charity's blast from the past As we’ve previously reported, Emma Atkins, 48, who plays Charity Dingle, teased a return for acting star Michelle Hardwick - known to millions as Emmerdale’s Vanessa Woodfield. Fans will recall Charity and Vanessa’s previous relationship. Emma has discussed the potential dynamic between Charity and ex-partner Vanessa. Emma explained: “I get asked that quite a lot. I’m sure they will have their chemistry in some shape or form. They left on quite good terms, in a way, so there’s nothing left to be sorted. “So, it is just how it will be and how their rapport will be and whether they have a moment again.” Emma later added: “It all depends on what the writers want for us.” Michelle Hardwick left Emmerdale last year to go on maternity leave. Chas has a secret Teasing a storyline involving Chas Dingle, Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw said: “Chas has a huge storyline in the new year which is going to be shocking for her and all her family and friends. You know her and Aaron have got a strange relationship at the moment so this could be the story that brings them back together.” Moria's life-changing confession Moira Dingle will drop a huge bombshell about her past which could change her life forever as she helps another villager in need. Discussing what's to come for the character, Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw said: "Moria is going to make a big confession to one of our villagers. It's a secret from her past which she is going to reveal. She does it in a way to help the person she's talking to and trying to help but how is that person going to react when she learns Moira's deepest darkest secret. If they blow it, it could threaten Moira's whole life." Unwanted baby Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw said: "This will come as a huge shock for one of our couples in Emmerdale - it will literally turn their lives upside down. It will result in a big fracture." Steamy affair Emmerdale wouldn’t be Emmerdale without an affair. The upcoming one will feature lots of sordid secrets and deceit. Laura explained: “We love an affair in soaps. We have a very passionate steamy affair coming up between two people.” It will feature an Emmerdale character who is ‘seemingly happily married’. Laura said: “The affair will have huge repercussions as it affects a lot of our villagers. It will also ultimately lead to a new arrival joining the show. “We can’t tell you about that as it won’t be until next year.” Find out which Emmerdale character you'll have a steamy affair with by taking on our latest personality quiz.

Pakistan: Imran Khan's party to challenge rejection of nomination papers today By ANI | Published: January 1, 2024 09:08 AM2024-01-01T09:08:23+5:302024-01-01T09:10:04+5:30 Islamabad [Pakistan], January 1 : Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) will approach election tribunals on Monday to challenge the rejection of ... Islamabad [Pakistan], January 1 : Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) will approach election tribunals on Monday to challenge the rejection of the nomination papers of scores of its candidates, including party founder Imran Khan, Dawn reported. This comes a day after most of its nominees failed to clear the scrutiny of nomination papers filed for the 2024 general elections. Party's Central Information Secretary Raoof Hasan, said that all rejected nomination papers would be challenged. Hasan said that, as per the rules, the rejection of nomination papers would initially be challenged in the tribunals and then other options would be explored. Similarly, PTI Central Punjab Additional General Secretary Sardar Azeemullah Khan said the party had asked all candidates to file appeals against ROs' decisions. He added that some candidates would be filing appeals with the appellate tribunals through private lawyers, while others would be offered party's help. "The candidates have collected the certified copies of 'rejection decisions' from respective ROs on Sunday and will begin filing appeals with the appellate tribunals from today," he told Dawn. Earlier on December 30, the Election Commission of Pakistan rejected scores of nomination forms from the PTI across the country a move that the former ruling party decided to challenge at relevant forums. Separately, Barrister Gohar Khan and Barrister Umair Khan Niazi will meet the party's founder, Imran Khan, in Adiala Jail on Monday to get his approval for the selection of party candidates and the consequent award of tickets. According to the Central Punjab nomination papers data, 281 candidates submitted their papers for 44 NA constituencies out of which 95 nomination papers were rejected, while 186 candidates' nomination papers were accepted. The PTI leaders alleged that the ROs appointed from the civil bureaucracy did not exercise their powers and decision-making and instead waited for orders coming from "quarters concerned". Citing a glaring example, the PTI leaders said that RO for NA-132 (Kasur-II) issued and displayed the "list of validly nominated candidates" that included PTI candidate Muhammad Saleem among a total of 19 candidates. However, the RO later issued a revised list of valid candidates, which reflected only 18 candidates minus Muhammad Saleem, Dawn reported. Notably, PTI candidate Sardar Azeemullah Khan had earlier reported that his nomination papers were scrutinised and found to be accurate, but the RO said he would issue a certificate only after receiving a confidential report from Islamabad. Separately, the PTI also launched a 'WhatsApp' account to seek video and pictorial evidence regarding the "pre-poll rigging" in the run-up to elections, Dawn reported. "If you see or observe any pre-polling rigging in any constituency, please send details with pictures and videos to PTI SMT at the given number," a message shared on PTI's social media read.

Prayagraj, Jan 1 The police have taken into custody a 13-year-old boy from the Railway Overbridge in the Industrial Area for the brutal murder of a six-year-old boy in Haldi Kala village in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj on December 27. The accused, known to the victim, was taken by the Industrial Area police and personnel from the trans-Yamuna special operations group of Prayagraj police. The detained teenager, who later confessed his crime, had attacked and killed the child with a brick after failing in his attempt to sexually assault him, said a police official. The 13-year-old is a Class 5 student who not only studied in the same school as the victim but also used to play with the victim often. On information provided by the accused boy, blood-stained clothes and the brick used in the crime were also recovered, the police added. “A teen known to the victim and residing in the same neighbourhood as the victim has been detained on Sunday in connection with the murder. He has confessed to the crime. We are now preparing to present the accused in the juvenile court. Evidence has been collected against him,” said deputy commissioner of police (trans-Yamuna) Abhinav Tyagi. The questioning has revealed that the victim was playing with his friends on the day of the murder. He strayed some distance while playing. The accused teen then took him to a secluded place and tried to sexually assault him. The victim resisted and tried to raise an alarm following which the teen panicked and hit him on the head and face with a brick lying nearby, said the official.

'Don’t see anything coming to an end' Bangladesh ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is entering a new chapter in his life as he is contesting in the national polls from Magura-1. For Shakib, cricket will have to take a backseat for a while. Still new to his political career, he was not keen on some of the hard questions on both politics and cricket. However, during an interview with Abdullah Al Mehdi of The Daily Star, Shakib did say things that somewhat contradicted his original stance about not featuring in the next ODI World Cup and the national team captaincy issue, which gained steam as of late with many suggesting a change in leadership, especially since Najmul Hossain Shanto did bring promising results in his short stint as an an interim skipper. The Daily Star (DS): Since you are still playing cricket, do you feel you rushed into politics? Shakib Al Hasan (SAH): No, I feel that this is the right time. DS: Is that because you feel that you are in the last few years of your career? SAH: No, actually it's not like I am seeing the end of something. I don't see anything coming to an end. DS: You are a fan of Lionel Messi. He's an introvert and maybe he often did not talk all that much. Maybe there's an introverted side to you as well. But how does it affect your politics? SAH: I have never felt that I am an introvert. DS: You have stirred controversies and headlines for those. But more often than not a reaction does not come from you. Do you actually laugh out when you hear some of the controversies? SAH: I don't really think about these controversies a lot. DS: Do you feel that you have already played your last ODI World Cup? SAH: I don't know it myself. Time will tell. DS: What impact did you see in the side due to Tamim Iqbal not playing in the World Cup? SAH: It's difficult to say with it never really happening. If he had played well then it would have been good for the team and it would have affected positively. And, had he played badly, it would have been better if he was not there. You can only understand something like that after the game has ended. So that's not something I can say. DS: Is there a possibility for you to mend your relationship with Tamim? SAH: Actually, the focus is elsewhere, and the question you asked is not something I am interested in. DS: How do you manage the workload of such heavy campaigning for the election and the pressure that comes with it? SAH: I have the energy and that's what I am using. DS: How do you feel about continuing Test cricket? SAH: The thing that I want to say is that I do not want to ponder about anything else [other than the national polls] before January 7 [the election day]. After that, I will prepare for the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) and when I am playing that, I will be able to think this matter over after discussing with the board about what I can do. DS: What do you feel about the batting order shuffle in the World Cup? SAH: Maybe it would have been good to not shuffle or maybe it would not have. Who knows what would have happened? Maybe if the shuffling was not done, it could have been worse. You can not guarantee that not shuffling the batting order would have been good for the side. DS: What do you think is the major reason behind the World Cup debacle? SAH: I do not see any reason. What you are asking is something I need to discuss with the Bangladesh Cricket Board.
