2,000 historic projects to be restored in Iran: VP
Monesan said on Tuesday that 'good measures have been taken in this area and that the government has provided special support. We now have about one million historical sites in the country, which need to be preserved and restored permanently.'
On the tourism projects, the vice president further reiterated, 'The Cultural Heritage Organization is not the executor of these projects, but it is directing it.'
The vice president said that now over 1,980 tourism projects are underway in the country, which the private sector has invested in. It is an attempt to make the private and public sectors more involved in the implementation of cultural tourism programs.
He added that in the historical monument field, efforts are being made to restore them from the state budget, while adding these jobs for people.
Head of CHHTO on the number of foreign tourists in Iran stated, "From the beginning of April to the mid- December this year, the number of foreign tourists has exceeded 6 million. Last year, five million and 100,000 foreign tourists were registered. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/2-000-historic-projects-to-be-restored-in-iran-vp_a3495329/ | 2024-01-01T04:31:50Z |

Millions of households face higher energy bills from now as a new price cap comes into effect. From January 1 the price cap set by regulators Ofgem rises from around £1,834 to £1,928 for the typical household – a rise of £94 or 5%.
The increase comes after gas and electric bills saw a fall in July 2023 for the first time in two years. In September bills fell further to just below £2,000 a year for a typical household, which was the lowest they'd been since October 2021.
However bills have since been on the rise and late last year it was announced that the next price cap, which sets the unit rate households pay for gas and electric over a three-month period, would rise again from January 1, 2024. Ofgem, which sets the cap, says this is being driven by high energy prices on the market and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

Here is everything you need to know about the increase in the price cap and what it means for your energy bills. To get the latest money stories straight to your inbox twice a week sign up to our newsletter here.
What is the energy price cap and what does it decide?
Although in theory the price cap sets a maximum amount a household will pay for energy it is not actually a 'cap' in the truest sense. In fact it is a cap on how much you can be charged per unit of gas or electricity as well as a cap on the daily standing charge. That is why the price cap is calculated based on how much a typical household will pay for its energy. If you use more energy you will still pay more and vice versa.
Up until now Ofgem assumed an average household uses 2,900 kWh of electricity and 12,000 kWh of gas over 12 months. However from October 1, 2023, these estimates changed with Ofgem now using 2,700 kwh of electricity and 11,500 kWh of gas for a two- to three-bedroom house with two or three people. These new estimates come into effect from January 1 meaning they are now officially in place.
Standing charges are a daily fee for gas and electricity customers and are added to your bill regardless of how much energy you use. These are based largely on wholesale energy prices (those that suppliers buy the energy for) and apply only to providers' standard and default tariffs. They also vary slightly depending on the region you live in. Typical values are then used to estimate the annual amount that would be charged to a typical household who pays by direct debit and is on standard variable tariff.
From January 1, 2024, the new price cap for the typical household has increased from £1,834 to £1,928 – a rise of £94 or 5%. This equates to a unit rate of 29p/kWh for electricity and 7p/kWh for gas. The average daily standing charge will be 53p a day for electricity and 30 p a day for gas.
Does this mean my bills will definitely go up?
No. The price cap applies to a typical household so if you use more energy you will pay more and you could also pay less if you use less. The new cap will though, in practice, apply to the vast majority of households in the UK. According to MoneySavingExpert around 90% of homes in England, Wales, and Scotland fall under the price cap.
I am not on direct debit – how does the new price cap affect me?
If, for example, you are on a non-smart prepay electricity meter the price change tends to happen when you top up. To avoid this you would have had to top up more than you normally would before January 1 as any top-up after this triggers you being charged the new higher rate. Topping up now will mean you are on the new rate unfortunately.
Should I fix my energy bill to avoid paying higher prices?
It very much depends on your situation. There are a few deals right now that could reduce what you pay. Before Christmas MoneySavingExpert founder Martin Lewis urged people to consider a deal guaranteed to reduce your bills. The E.On Next Pledge tariff tracks the price cap meaning that if it goes up in price the rate goes up and if it goes down if the price cap goes down. The tariff tracks your bills around £50 a year below the price cap on average but was only available to existing customers until very recently and is now open to others. Mr Lewis called the tariff a "no-brainer" if you're on the price cap and happy to change to E.On Next and you can read his advice in full here.
There are some other deals out there that work out cheaper than the new price cap but they are more complicated and require more of you including being a homeowner or signing up to multiple services with the supplier. You can read more about those here.

Chase recorded three receptions on seven targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 25-17 loss to the Chiefs.
Chase returned from a one-game absence caused by a shoulder injury, and he managed to tie for the team lead in targets. However, outside of a 24-yard reception on the team's second offensive possession, he was erased from making an impact on the game. With the Bengals now eliminated from playoff contention, the team may opt to protect Chase's health and either rest him or limit his snaps in a Week 18 matchup against the Browns.

Opinion
In my mind, the job was colossal, I was esteemed and rich. But no one seemed to notice
Waleed Aly
Columnist, co-host of Ten's The Project and academicThe Age’s opinion section is rolling out a fresh series of summer pieces on the theme of ‘The Summer I Went Legit’. These stories, penned by Age writers and regular columnists, range from humorous to poignant and thought-provoking tales of first jobs and finding your feet.
“Welcome to Telstra, this is Waleed, how can I help you?”
Yes. That was me, headset and all, talking to whoever was game about their MessageBank™. Or Call Number Display (the cool kids called it CND). Or trying to convince them of the merits of consolidating their various services into a single bill (“one account, one amount”). That last one we sold on the basis that it was good for the environment because it used less paper. By wild coincidence, it also saved the company considerable administrative costs.
There were two types of shifts – inbound (answering calls) and outbound (making the calls). Outbound was the default. “Hi, this is Waleed from Telstra, could I please speak to Mrs Bucket?” I wouldn’t have chosen Mrs Bucket, myself, of course. She was dished up by a machine, which identified her as being primed for some sale or other. Then suddenly there we were. Thrown together by fate on a phone call neither of us sought, having never known the other existed mere seconds ago.
In an instant, you’d be asking for their date of birth for privacy reasons and getting their permission for the call to be recorded “for quality and coaching purposes”. At which point, it wasn’t unreasonable for your new friend Mrs Bucket to say something like: “Hang on, you’ve called me out of the blue, and now you’re asking for my personal details and recording me?” Others would just hang up. If only they’d bought a CND, they’d have known not to answer – and for only $5.50 a month including GST!
Once, I remember a guy saying to me, with tremendous satisfaction, “You are the weakest link. Goodbye.” I couldn’t tell whether it was something he said at every available opportunity or had been waiting for the perfect moment to deploy, but I could definitely tell he thought quoting a catchphrase from a short-lived game show was the cleverest thing in the world, and not remotely hackneyed. I assume he now runs around saying “lock it in, Eddie” whenever he finalises social plans.
Looking back, it’s a miracle anyone ever agreed to talk, but you’d be amazed. In our induction we were told of one customer (not Mrs Bucket) who took the call while having sex, right up to and including the most … audible … bit, even declining an offer to be called back later. I tried to imagine how that conversation would have gone. Were there calm, dry exchanges about optimising one’s call plan? Was it a complicated discussion of how mobile, internet and landline services could be packaged so as to earn a discount? How exciting could a Messagebank™ be in the circumstances?
My first call wasn’t as eventful. Even so, I remember it vividly. All the product knowledge, all the practice calls, all the blood, sweat and tears of two whole weeks of training had led to this. Now I was about to be unleashed on a real person.
The dialler clicked into action, signalling a call had begun. I would be speaking in less than a second, but so much would be packed into that tiny interval. The air would feel electric, my stomach would churn as though powered by some nauseating engine. Then I would recognise instantly this wasn’t helping, and summon as much energy as I could to overwhelm the nerves. The result was probably that I sounded absurdly hyped up, but anything was better than sounding scared. Nowadays, I recognise exactly what that feeling is. I was on the air.
Around me was an aura of mundane drudgery, of battery-farmed “sales consultants” stuck on repeat for months on end. But for me, it was fabulously exciting. Telstra was this huge, prestigious company, whose ads I’d watched my whole life. How did someone let me represent them? Was I an Australian icon now, by association? Not just Waleed. But Waleed from Telstra. And how did anyone agree to pay me more money than I’d ever imagined – some $23 per hour – to become one? In my mind, this was colossal. I was esteemed and fabulously rich. It’s just that no one seemed to notice.
A couple of years later, I was at a job interview for my first legal job. “Are you one of those annoying people who hassles me at home when I’m just trying to relax?” began the interviewer, scanning my CV. I probably said something stupid like, “No, I’m just trying to help you get the most out of your service,” because that’s how those annoying people who hassle you at home when you’re just trying to relax tend to speak.
These days, my colleagues and I use a different set of annoying words. Words like “caucus”, “ombudsman” or “two-party preferred”; “outrage”, “scandal” or “fiasco”.
Fools have let me represent institutions far beyond my grade – the ABC, The Age, and Channel Ten. One day, someone will find out and end this madness, but it’s uncanny how many moments resemble that first call; how many skills are the same. Sound engaged, establish rapport with people from every demographic and walk of life, convey information quickly and simply.
The air crackles, the stomach churns, reserves of energy propel you over these hurdles and on the air. The more I think about it, the more all that telemarketing resembles an extremely niche form of talkback. I’d love to you to hear it. Sadly, I forgot to ask all those customers if they were happy for me to record them for niche broadcasting purposes.
But please, if there’s anything thing else you need, then how can I help you?

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

Gujarat: Two students create glasses to avert accidents due to drowsiness
Gujarat: Two students create glasses to avert accidents due to drowsiness
Navsari (Gujarat): Imagine being behind the wheels and exhaustion gets the better of you - you feel sleepy. That could be fatal! But wait, two meritorious students of class VII from the Pushpa Ben R Desai Primary School in the district have found a way out to prevent the catastrophic situation. The two Kavya and Tisha Patel have designed special spectacles that would help avert any kind of untoward occurrence.
It took them about three months to complete the project that cost Rs 3000.
“We are keen on anything to do with science, so we often embark on such projects. National Highway No. 48 passes near our school where drivers traveling long on the highway face accidents as they are prone to falling asleep. Our project is part of our efforts to prevent these accidents. After wearing these glasses, if the driver falls asleep and his eyes are closed, the sensor installed will sound a buzzer, which will alert the driver and be able to prevent the accident," said Kavya.
A lowdown on the project, the circuit is connected to IC-555 and then a 25 volt capacitor is connected to the positive point and negative point of the IC. A buzzer is also linked to the IC. A sensor is attached to the glasses and two switches are attached to a four-volt battery. A DC motor is taken and a wheel is attached to it and it is connected to the motor and battery. A timer sensor in the circuit analyzes the eyes and sounds an alarm when the driver closes his eyes for more than five seconds while driving or tries to sleep. If the driver ignores the alarm, the system will generate a buzzer sound that will cause the driver to open his eyes. Thus this project can be used in larger vehicles too, informed Tisha.
According to the school principal Ketaki Desai, Such projects are often taken up which open scope for innovations. "Under one such project these class VII students designed these glasses to ensure accidents due to drowsiness is prevented. This project has been appreciated by the engineers of Hazira based L&T company in the science fair organized a few days ago. The two girls were feted," she added.

McLaughlin took eight carries for 44 yards while corralling all three of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Chargers.
McLaughlin finished as Denver's leading rusher despite seeing seven fewer carries than starter Javonte Williams, who finished Sunday's win with 41 rushing yards on 15 attempts. That's two consecutive weeks in which the backup has outproduced the starter both in terms of volume and efficiency. McLaughlin has shown good burst in his limited opportunities this season, posting a per-carry average of 5.7 yards through 15 games. The undrafted free agent has yet to receive double-digit carries in any game this year, but there is a chance McLaughlin reaches that mark against the Raiders in Week 18 given his strong play of late.

CHICAGO -- The Bears closed out 2023 and their home slate with a bang Sunday, dominating the Atlanta Falcons from the opening kick-off in a resounding 37-17 win at Soldier Field.
Quarterback Justin Fields put together one of his most complete games, giving the Bears and general manager Ryan Poles something to think about on the day they earned the No. 1 pick. Wide receiver DJ Moore added another 100-yard game to his ledger, and the defense did the rest, suffocating Atlanta's woeful offense from start to finish.
The Bears are now 7-9 and are three inexplicable faceplants away from being a playoff team. The playoffs will have to wait until next year, but Sunday's back-alley smackdown the Bears delivered showed the Bears have pulled themselves out of the NFL's basement and are firmly in the crowded middle with a green arrow pointing up.
Stay in the game with the latest updates on your beloved Chicago sports teams! Sign up here for our All Access Daily newsletter.
Here's a New Year's Eve report card worthy of champagne and the victory cigars the Bears lit in the home locker room after the win:
Passing offense
Fields was sensational from the opening thrown.
The third-year quarterback opened his day with a beautiful strike to Moore along the right sideline for a gain of 32. Fields finished the drive by ripping a dot to Moore in the back of the end zone for a 7-yard touchdown.
Fields' first half Sunday was among his best in a Bears uniform, trailing only the perfect first half he put together against the Denver Broncos earlier this season.
Fields missed a couple throws and was late on a few, but he also threw a picture-perfect pass up the seam to Tyler Scott for a touchdown that the rookie couldn't haul in.
The quarterback's day also included an absurd 13-yard scramble on third-and-8, on which he shook off two Falcons defenses to avoid a sack and pick up the first down.
This was Fields at his best.
He finished the day 20-for-32 for 268 yards and one touchdown while adding 45 yards and a score on the ground. Moore hauled in nine passes for 159 yards and a score.
With no Darnell Mooney and with Cole Kmet limited, the Bears' passing game wasn't expected to have a big day against Atlanta's top-10-ranked pass defense.
Instead, Fields sliced them up and sent a message in the process.
Flawless. No notes.
Fields GRADE: A
Team GRADE: A
Rushing offense
D'Onta Foreman was a surprise healthy scratch Sunday, but his absence didn't hamper the Bears' ground game.
Khalil Herbert once again had his juice back, rushing for 124 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. Herbert was slippery and showed great vision and acceleration in the open field.
Herbert didn't look like himself during the first handful of games after his return from the ankle injury he suffered in Week 5. But Herbert looked like his old self last week against the Cardinals and again showed his typical burst Sunday while gashing the Falcons.
The Bears rushed for 192 yards at 5.2 yards per tote Sunday.
Atlanta had no answers for a Bears' ground game that wore them down early and ripped them late.
GRADE: A
Pass defense
While the Bears left Soldier Field on Sunday with a big question mark about what to do at quarterback, the Falcons know they have no answer.
Taylor Heinicke was awful Sunday.
If you take away a 75-yard catch-and-run by running back Tyler Allgeier, the Bears held Heinick to 88 yards pass and four interceptions.
The Falcons' receivers struggled to get open against the Bears' defensive backs, and Chicago's defensive line hounded Heinicke all day.
The Allgeier explosive is a blemish, but other than that, the Bears were perfect.
GRADE: B+
Run defense
The Bears' top-ranked run did an admirable job against rookie Bijan Robinson, holding him to 75 yards on 15 carries.
The Falcons got down by two scores early and had to go away from the run game in the second half. Outside of a couple scramble by Heinicke where they lost contain, the Bears' run defense was again good.
It was nothing to write home about but a solid, workman-like effort.
GRADE: B+
Coaching
In a season defined by late-game meltdowns, there were no step-on-a-rake moments for the Bears on Sunday.
The lone questionable decision came when the Bears decided to roll Fields out of the pocket for a shot play late in the game while up by 20. Fields was hit on the play and fumbled, but the Bears recovered.
Head coach Matt Eberlfus said they had a free play ahead of the two-minute warning and wanted to get the lone first down needed to salt the game away.
Still, it was a curious decision to open your quarterback up to an unnecessary hit in a game that was over.
GRADE: B+
Overall
This was the Bears' best all-around performance of the season and probably their best since a Week 7 drubbing of the New England Patriots last season.
Fields was stellar, Moore tormented the Falcons, and the defense continued to be the dominant, elite unit it has been for over a month.
If this is who the Bears plan to be, 2024 is going to be fun.

How to make a New Year’s resolution stick, from the people who’ve done it
For many of us, the dawn of a new year means thinking about the kind of person we want to be in 2024. Each year, we vow to be fitter, more financially savvy, more charitable. Then, despite good intentions, we give up half way and promise to do better next year. So, rather than cajole you about why you need a New Year’s resolution or why most fail, we thought we’d go straight to the source and ask people who actually stuck to theirs.
Below, three Australians share how they smashed their goals in 2023, and what they learnt along the way.
‘I conquered my fear of ocean swimming’
In 2021, Senta Hoyne was on holidays when she encountered a near-death experience.“I found myself trapped in a dangerous un-patrolled surf and didn’t know if I was going to make it out alive.” Having always been a pool swimmer, she says she was never very confident in the ocean – something she decided to change at the beginning of 2023. By early December, the 47-year-old mother of three had achieved her goal of completing a two-kilometre ocean swim from Bondi to Bronte in Sydney’s east.
Being a night owl, the early mornings were a challenge at first. “I found the best thing was to not think about it and just move your body in the direction of where it needs to go. And by the time you’re fully conscious you’re too far committed to turn back,” she says. Hoyne started small, doing laps in the pool before choosing calm days to swim at Bondi. Her biggest fear to conquer, she says, was getting in and out past the waves.
Another challenge for Hoyne was asking to join a swimming group – she knew she’d need to be confident swimming with others if she were to compete in a race. She hesitated, asking herself, “was I going to be good enough? Fast enough? Will they look down on me because I’m a pool swimmer?”
Ultimately, Hoyne ended up joining three different groups, who she says were all “joyous and kind” despite her initial reservations. They also helped her become a better swimmer – one group helped increase her speed, while another helped hone her technique.
They also helped her overcome her fear. “Swimming with a group really made me realise that swimming in the ocean with its natural habitat and wildlife is a privilege and not something to be scared of.”
She says having time for herself each morning has been incredible for her mental health. “Being a mother of three young girls and being able to carve out time for yourself just sets you up for a win. You just feel that whatever happens that day you’re ready for it.” Hoyne adds that she’s proud to have shown her daughters they can achieve whatever they set their mind to.
‘I had dinner with a stranger each week’
At the beginning of 2023, Jessie Wright set out to have dinner with a stranger each week. A self-confessed introvert, her rather unconventional resolution was a bold step. The 30-something had moved to Melbourne during COVID and was going through a break-up. She was lonely, looking for new friends, and, after listening to an episode of former monk Jay Shetty’s podcast, set herself a weekly goal of having dinner with a friend. Wright posted about this resolution to her Instagram stories, prompting over 100 messages from women keen to have dinner with her.
She says the Thursday dinners were far more daunting than dating. “People go on [romantic] dates all the time, but there seems to be this natural understanding that it’s OK if they don’t like you. Whereas with friends, I just had this deep fear of going to meet these wonderful women and what if they didn’t like me?”
Wright, who has since gone viral on TikTok for her “dinner with 52 strangers” series, says her internet following helped hold her accountable. And she says no matter how bad her day, and how many times she wanted to cancel, she always came out feeling better for it. “There’s this magic thing about sitting down with somebody and getting to introduce yourself and getting to know someone. There’s nothing like sitting down and hearing about somebody else’s story or their life. These dinners had a really nice way of putting things in perspective for me.”
Besides gaining a host of new friends, Wright says she’s learned a lot about friendship itself through the process. “Sometimes we stay in our heads for a really long time about things. But I am just going to say to myself, ‘let’s just go for dinner with a new friend. You’re looking for new connections, do it, jump on it, let’s just make it happen.’”
“There’s something in that for me that I want to take into my everyday life moving forward.”
Her biggest piece of advice for those wanting to make new friends, is to be intentional. “We’re so intentional about dating. We’re so intentional about so many other aspects in our life. But when it comes to friends, we seem to be quite passive,” she says.
“The difference between 2023 versus 2022 for me is that I was really clear that I was looking to make new friendships. Being really clear with intentions and verbalising them has been a really big lesson.”
‘I rediscovered my love of reading’
For 30-year-old Lieza Jordan, her 2023 New Year’s resolution was all about investing in a hobby. “I used to be such a big reader when I was a child and as I grew up and got a little bit busier, I kind of dropped the ball on reading.” The Sydney-based communications coordinator set herself the goal of reading 25 books, which she had already exceeded by December.
At the beginning of the year, Jordan made a list of books she wanted to read, and aimed to finish about two per month. To help stay on track, she used the productivity software Notion, charting her progress using graphs and rating each book once she finished. BookTok, TikTok’s passionate community of avid readers, also became something of a virtual book club for Jordan – suggesting new books and connecting her with like-minded users. She says reading series also kept her motivated to complete her goal.
Jordan says her new reading habit has improved her day-to-day wellbeing by reducing her pre-sleep screen time and improving her mental clarity. “When I was reading before bed, I definitely felt like I had a better sleep,” she says. “At the same time, having that motivation to read when I woke up helped me get out of bed. I just felt like my brain was a little bit more switched on, instead of just scrolling through TikTok.”
Next year, Jordan is aiming to read 40 books, alongside smashing some other personal goals.

It's been another difficult year for millions of people as high costs and inflation continue to affect struggling households. Gas and electric bills are still higher than they were pre-pandemic while households are also grappling with fuel costs rising and inflation which remains higher than the UK Government's target of 2%.
The continued difficulties have seen a number cost of living payments being rolled out to hard-up households including those on benefits, those with disabilities, and older residents.
With 2024 upon us, there are a number of important changes coming that could have an impact on your pocket including changes to universal credit, state pension, and the minimum wage. Here are all the changes to universal credit and other financial support coming in 2023. To get the latest money stories straight to your inbox twice a week sign up to our newsletter here.
Tax changes - January 2024
One of the major announcements in November's autumn statement was a cut in National Insurance by two percentage points, bringing it from 12% to 10%. Jeremy Hunt said the change would leave 27m people better off and would mean someone on a £35,000 salary will save more than £450 a year. However politicians and experts like the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) have raised concerns over frozen and reduced income tax thresholds – the point at which people start paying tax. Since March 2021 the rate at which people start paying income tax and national insurance has been frozen at £12,570. The rate at which higher rate income tax is paid was also frozen at £50,270.
Over time this means that as people's salaries rise with inflation they pay more tax than they would have done if the tax thresholds had risen in line with the same rate of inflation. The freeze in tax thresholds, which also drags more people into the tax net and higher-rate tax next every year, is currently set to last until at least 2027-28. The IFS says the lack of change in these thresholds mean that, for example, someone on a full-time minimum wage (£20,800 a year) will save £165 from a 2p cut in NI but pay an additional £413 in tax owing to frozen tax thresholds. The NI cut, which would normally come in at the start of the new financial year in April, will come in earlier on January 6.
Migration of legacy benefits onto universal credit - throughout 2024
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is moving people on older benefits over to universal credit. The plan, known as managed migration, sees legacy benefits claimants being moved over to universal credit in stages. The new benefit system has been rolled gradually in recent years but was halted due to the coronavirus pandemic.
It restarted earlier in 2023 and the vast majority of claimants – millions of people – will be moved over by the end of 2024 with the rest to follow soon after. People on these benefits will be moved over to universal credit through managed migration:
- Child and working tax credit
- Income-based jobseeker's allowance
- Income support
- Income-related employment
- Support allowance
- Housing benefit
No new claims can be made for these benefits with most people having to apply for UC instead. Households in some areas of the UK have already been moved onto UC including both southwest and southeast Wales in recent months.
The DWP has said households are being sent letters telling them they have three months to put in a universal credit claim. You will need to visit your nearest Jobcentre to verify your identity and accept the changes in order to get your money. If you don't make a UC claim in this time your legacy benefit payments will stop.
Once you makes a UC claim your old benefits will be stopped and you will have to wait five weeks for your first payment to arrive. Some legacy benefits will "run on" for a few weeks to help bridge the gap between the changes but tax credits payments will stop as soon as a person claims UC.
Most people will be moved to UC by the end of the 2024-25 financial year except those claiming ESA only or ESA and another legacy benefit (but not tax credits). Those remaining will be selected for the managed migration exercise during 2028.
Benefits uplift - April 2024
Changes to benefits, state pensions, and wages were also announced by Jeremy Hunt in his autumn statement in November. It means that from April 2024 universal credit and other benefits will rise by 6.7%. Here is how much universal credit will rise according to the new rates:
- Current standard allowance for single universal credit claimants under 25: £292.11 a month, will rise to £311.68 (an increase of £19.57)
- Standard allowance for single claimants over 25: £368.74 a month, will rise to £393.45 (an increase of £24.71 a month)
- If you live with your partner and you’re both under 25, your monthly payment will increase from £458.51 to £489.23 (a rise of £30.72)
- If you live with your partner and either of you are 25 or over, you could see a rise of £38.78 from £578.82 to £617.60 a month.
The following benefits will also rise:
Personal independence payment (PIP)
- Disability living allowance
Attendance allowance
- Incapacity benefit
- Severe disablement allowance
- Industrial injuries benefit
Carer's allowance
- Additional state pension
- Guardian's allowance

State pension increase - April 2024
There will also be an 8.5% increase to the state pension from April after the government maintained its commitment to the triple lock, which sees pensions rise by the highest out of earnings growth, CPI inflation, and 2.5%. Here are the new state pension rates from April 2024:
- Full new state pension: £11,502 (up £902) / Weekly: £221.20 / Every four-week pay period: £884.80
Basic state pension: £8,814 (up £692) / Weekly: £169.50 / Every four-week pay period: £678
Minimum wage increases - April 2024
Increases to the minimum wage and national living wage were also announced in November. Chancellor Jeremy Hunt said: "Next April all full-time workers on the National Living Wage will get a pay rise of over £1,800 a year. That will end low pay in this country, delivering on our manifesto promise. The National Living Wage has helped halve the number of people on low pay since 2010, making sure work always pays."
- National living wage will be £11.44 from April 2024, up from £10.42 (a £1.02 rise), and will now apply to 21- and 22-year-old workers rather than from aged 23
National minimum wage for 18 to 20-year-olds will also increase by £1.11 to £8.60 per hour
End of cost of living payments - April 2024
In November's autumn statement the government made no mention of any extension to cost of living payments, which have been rolled out to some of the country's most vulnerable households in the past two years. In 2023-24 they have included a £900 payment in three instalments to people on means-tested benefits, a £150 disability payment, and an extra £300 for pensioners.
The final instalment of the £900 payment, worth £299, will be sent out in the spring. However with no promise of any further payments scheme in 2024-25 it appears this will be the end of the government's additional targeted support for these households, who have been getting some form of cost of living payment since 2022.

Stidham completed 20 of 32 pass attempts for 224 yards and a touchdown while gaining six yards on six rushing attempts in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Chargers.
Stidham made his first start for Denver on Sunday following the financial benching of Russell Wilson. The former performed well in place of the usual starter, completing nearly two-thirds of his passes without turning the ball over. Stidham's lone touchdown pass went to Lil'Jordan Humphrey, who took a short slant pass in the second quarter and performed a series of maneuvers that resulted in a 54-yard touchdown. It was a relatively quiet fantasy day for Stidham otherwise, and he is slated to start the Broncos' final game of the regular season against his former club, the Las Vegas Raiders.

New Year: Devotees make a beeline for Ujjain Mahakaleshwar Temple for Bhasma Aarti
New Year: Devotees make a beeline for Ujjain Mahakaleshwar Temple for Bhasma Aarti
Ujjain: The first day of the New Year saw scores of devotees thronged to offer prayers at Mahakaleshwar temple situated in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain district on Monday. They also participated in the first Bhasma Aarti of the year performed here in the temple on the occasion and took blessings of Baba Mahakal (Lord Shiva).
According to religious beliefs, the wishes of the devotee who participates in the Bhasma aarti of Baba Mahakal are fulfilled. Bhasma aarti', an offering with ashes, is a famous ritual here. It is performed during the 'Brahma Muhurta' between around 3:30 and 5:30 in the morning.
On the occasion of New Year, Baba Mahakal was decorated and Maha Aarti was also performed. Priest of the temple Ashish Pujari said, "According to tradition, the doors of Baba Mahakal were opened in the Brahma Muhurta and after that a holy bath of Lord Mahakal was performed with Panchamrit, which include milk, curd, ghee, sugar and honey.
Thereafter sandalwood, fragrant liquids were offered to Baba Mahakal and decorated with hemp." Later on, Baba was covered with a cloth and Bhasma Aatri was performed along with beating drums and blowing conch shells. A large number of devotees from various regions visited here and sought the blessing of Lord Mahakal on the occasion, he added.
Devotees from across the country started arriving at the Mahakal Temple in the last week of December. The temple authorities made an elaborate arrangements to provide smooth darshan to the devotees coming to the temple on the last day of the year and the first day of the New Year.

Humphrey caught two of four targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Chargers.
Humphrey made the play of the game in the second quarter when he took a short pass from Jarrett Stidham and proceeded to juke and jive his way past several certain tackle opportunities before extending the ball past the goal line for a 54-yard touchdown. It was the only touchdown either team would record Sunday. It would have also counted as the game-winning score in hockey after the wideout's incredible play gave Denver a lead it would never surrender. While Lil'Jordan had the best game out of any receiver, it is important to point out that his four targets finished third for the Broncos behind starters Jerry Jeudy and Brandon Johnson. Perhaps Humphrey's impressive catch and run will earn him more snaps and targets when the Broncos visit the Raiders in Week 18.

3 dead, 172 injured in Havana after powerful tornado
Diaz-Canel said in a message on his Twitter account that he has inspected the affected areas in the municipality of Regla in Havana.
"The damage is severe, so far we regret the loss of 3 human lives and treat 172 injured. Several brigades (are) already working on the restoration," the president said in the message.
The tornado hit several municipalities in Havana, leaving much of the city without power and causing substantial material damage.
On social networks, Cubans shared photos of the twister's impact, with images of overturned cars, debris of collapsed houses and bent power lines.
"The strength of the tornado winds can be compared to that of a Category 4 or 5 hurricane, although its impact is more focused," said the Cubadebate website on its Facebook account.
The storm spread on Sunday night with heavy rains, strong winds of 100 km per hour and coastal flooding.
The country's weather institute said the extratropical low has been weakening in the last few hours and the rains will be of less intensity.
Electricity service has been restored in some localities in the city as weather conditions have improved.
Tornadoes are not common in Cuba. The most memorable one occurred in December 1940, when a tornado swept the western town of Bejucal, causing casualties. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/3-dead-172-injured-in-havana-after-powerful-tornado_a3492657/ | 2024-01-01T04:32:11Z |

As a disabled teenager Joe Collinson has had to deal with hurtful comments as well as the frustration of not being able to do all the things he used to. After becoming disabled at primary school thanks to a rare condition Joe, from Penarth, remembers and misses how it feels to run – but that is among the least of challenges he faces.
Unable to use one hand, one arm, and one leg the 17 year-old, who is also severely sight-impaired, has set himself the goal of climbing out of a swimming pool up the ladder one-handed in the next year. He would also like to get the message out to able-bodied people about what it means to be disabled.
Joe, who is in year 11 at Ysgol y Deri special school, points out that most disabled people were born able-bodied just as he was. He doesn’t want to wish it on anyone but feels more awareness and understanding would help everyone whatever the future holds. For the latest health news, sign up to our newsletter here
Read more: 'Both my children were born deaf and my life has completely changed'
When he first became unwell at primary school doctors weren’t sure what was wrong and some people even labelled Joe "lazy". Aged six he began to suffer loss of movement in one arm, leg, and hand and two years later began to have seizures.
Eventually Joe was diagnosed with Rasmussen’s encephalitis (RE) – a very rare condition affecting two in every 10 million people, mostly children between the ages of two and 10. Scientists don’t know what causes RE but think it is either an autoimmune disease, when the immune system attacks healthy tissue, or the result of an unknown virus.
Whatever causes RE it led to Joe having to have half his brain removed in a lengthy and risky operation at Great Ormond Street Hospital aged 12 in 2018. He now walks only short distances using a crutch and has impaired vision and mobility.
Keen to focus on what he can do, rather than what he can't, the teenager wants children at school to learn more about what it means to be disabled to help prevent disability hate crime. Joe's mother Rachel said he had endured hurtful comments as well as attitudes about his disability.
Joe has learned to do most things he needs to do one-handed although he says he often has to work this out in new situations. He enjoys swimming, which he does with one working leg and arm, and drums in a school band. But these are all things he’s had to re-learn and work hard to do.
“I have to do everything with one hand and one leg. I also have impaired vision in both eyes," he said.
"It was very hard at first and people at school were amazed how I could swim with one hand and one leg. It’s quite hard to understand that it’s not because I’m lazy but sometimes I don’t have the energy to do things.
"I got unwell quite slowly. When it first started I did not feel understood. I got a lot of support from my mum and my sisters and I would say to people: enjoy being able to run while it lasts.”
The family lived in Oxfordshire when Joe first became ill. Classmates at his mainstream school there saw him swim one-armed and one-legged and decided to give it a try.
They found it hard and realised that far from being lazy Joe was in facttrying harder than his able-bodied peers. Now Joe is now challenging mainstream schools to ask all pupils to try one PE lesson a term disabled – either covering their eyes or using only one arm or leg – to help raise awareness about what disability means.
South Wales Police were so impressed by a speech the teenager gave at Ysgol y Deri that they’ve been in touch to ask him to consider helping their messaging on disability hate crime, said his mum Rachel. “I find it difficult that some people don’t understand that I need help," said Joe. "I like video games, eating sweets, and drumming but I find it frustrating I don’t have the ability to keep up with things. People never think about what it means to be disabled. I would like schools to teach it through PE.”
Joe would like all school children aged five to 16 to do three PE lessons a year experiencing them as though disabled. “For example for one PE lesson to be half-blind, like me, you could wear glasses half covered in black,” he said.
Although he has not personally been the victim of hate crime Joe has had to endure some "awful" comments, said Rachel. She said they often have to navigate prejudice when out and about because just being visibly disabled can prompt unhelpful stares, comments, and hurtful ignorance.
Rachel pointed out that her son has worked harder than many able-bodied people to do things others take for granted. He has had to learn to navigate the world with one hand, one arm, and one leg while also being visually impaired, yet is still studying for GCSEs and following his hobbies of swimming and drumming.
“This has changed me profoundly. Joe has experienced a scary, life-changing diagnosis and he has faced it," said Rachel.
“He is inspiring and he’s propped me up as much as I have propped him up. It is just facing the world and standing up to seeing the shifts in peoples’ perceptions – not just strangers – when you become disabled.”
Seeing disability can make people feel scared, embarrassed, disgusted, or frightened and more awareness taught in schools with Joe’s PE idea would help, she believes. “It would be impossible to understand everything but asking a question is better than pretending he’s not disabled. It’s even down to that look in someone’s eyes – if it's lacking empathy or they are judging you. Joe has battled just to sit at a table more than most people have battled in their lives. Hurtful things have been said to him.”
Joe, who moved to Penarth with his family in 2021, now attends Ysgol y Deri where he is studying for GCSE maths and psychology in year 11. He’s not sure what the future holds but he would like people to know more about what it is to be disabled.
This is the speech Joe gave to Ysgol y Deri on disability hate crime:
"Thank you for coming tonight to support my great school. Honestly I think it an excellent school – well, apart from double English on Tuesdays and Mondays. Who likes Mondays?
"Anyway, welcome to my speech: Ableism Should Be Taught In Schools. You all know what racism is. You all know what sexism is. But I bet many of you don’t know what ableism is.
"Ableism is the discrimination against disabled people. I want ableism to stop – just like racism, sexism, or any other ‘ism’.
"Maybe you think it is not a real problem but, sadly, it is. Every day there are 180 disability hate crimes reported in the UK.
"To stop the hate crimes we need to stop ignoring the problem. We need to teach people to understand what it is like to be disabled.
"Not many disabled people are born disabled – I wasn’t. Most disabled people become disabled as they get older so sadly that means a few of you might become disabled one day.
"For me I first became unwell aged six with something unpronounceable. I’ll give it a go – Rasmussen's encephalitis.
"Because of RE I was becoming disabled but when I was 12 the only option for me was surgery to remove half my brain. I squarely joined the 6% of children in the UK who are disabled – that 6% is 750,000 kids.
"That 6% increases to 16% disabled for working-aged people. That 16% increases again to 45% disabled for old people.
"Sadly 40% of people think the disabled are a social burden. Thankfully not many will agree with Hitler anymore – he killed babies and children just because they were disabled.
"However we, the disabled, need all levels of hate crimes to stop. I believe teaching ableism in school will lead to more understanding and stop people ignoring the problem of ableism.
"I think everyone should experience being disabled for one PE lesson per term for all of school. That’s one lesson, three times a year, from aged five to 16 or approximately 30 experiences spread over 10 years.
"For example for one PE lesson to be half-blind, like me, you could wear glasses half covered in black. For another PE lesson to only have one hand, like me, you could tie your hand up. For another PE lesson to not be able to walk properly, like me, you could wear a leg brace or maybe sit in a wheelchair as I used to.
"I think if everyone was to experience being disabled everyone would understand that ableism is real and that it needs stamping out."

Erickson made seven receptions on eight targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Broncos.
A slew of injuries to the Chargers' receiving corps opened the door for Erickson to secure a bigger role on offense in recent weeks. The undrafted Wisconsin product took full advantage of that opportunity Sunday, when he finished as his team's leading receiver across the board. The Chargers aren't getting healthier anytime soon, so Erickson should have another opportunity to put his skills on display against the Chiefs in Week 18.

Rahul Gandhi just an ordinary MP, nothing beyond: Digvijaya kin
Rahul Gandhi just an ordinary MP, nothing beyond: Digvijaya kin
Bhopal: Former Congress MP Lakshman Singh has said Rahul Gandhi is an ordinary party worker and parliamentarian and he should not be highlighted so much. Lakshman Singh, the younger brother of Congress veteran Digvijaya Singh, was speaking to reporters at the Congress office in MP's Guna city on Saturday. When reporters claimed Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's face is shown less on TV when he makes a statement in the Lok Sabha, Lakshman Singh said, "Rahul Gandhi is an MP, he is not the (party) president and is a Congress worker. Apart from this Rahul Gandhi is nothing."
"You (media) people should not highlight Rahul Gandhi so much and neither should we," he said.
Rahul Gandhi is only an MP and he is equal to the rest of the party's parliamentarians, said Lakshman Singh, who has been a five-time MP and three-term MLA.
"One does not become (big) by birth but by one's actions. Don't consider Rahul Gandhi such a big leader, I don't. He is an ordinary MP. It doesn't matter whether you highlight him or not," Lakshman Singh said. When contacted on Sunday, Lakshman Singh told PTI Rahul Gandhi himself has said he is a party worker.
"We all are party workers," Singh said without elaborating on his previous comment. In the Madhya Pradesh polls held last month, BJP's Priyanka Penchi defeated Lakshman Singh by more than 61,000 votes from Chachoura Assembly seat in Guna district. | https://www.etvbharat.com/english/state/madhya-pradesh/rahul-gandhi-just-an-ordinary-mp-nothing-beyond-digvijaya-kin/na20240101081608696696686 | 2024-01-01T04:32:16Z |

$45 million offered to Golovkin for two fights
First, Golovkin met in Los Angeles with promoter Eddie Hearn and former ESPN president John Skipper, who is now DAZN's chief. According to The Ring journalist Mike Coppinger, during the meeting, Golovkin was offered a two-fight contract worth around $45 million. It is reported that the first fight will take place in May or June, and the second one will be vs. Saul ‘Canelo' Alvarez in September (for that end, the Mexican boxer should defeat Daniel Jacobs on May 4).
A few hours later, Golovkin met with PBC representatives. The same source reports that the deal is also for two fights. However, the pay is lower and the deal includes a PPV fight vs. Jermall Charlo.
It is to be recalled that Golovkin and his promoter Tom Loeffler had already met with representatives of DAZN, PBC, and ESPN TV Channel in November and December 2018 but did not decide on which of the platforms to broadcast the future fights of the ex-champion. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/45-million-offered-to-golovkin-for-two-fights_a3493622/ | 2024-01-01T04:32:18Z |

Thailand celebrates beginning of New Year 2024 with dazzling fireworks
As the world welcomed 2024 with immense joy on Monday, Thailand also celebrated the beginning of the New Year with dazzling fireworks.
- Country:
- Thailand
As the world welcomed 2024 with immense joy on Monday, Thailand celebrated the New Year with dazzling fireworks. The Southeast Asian country rang in the New Year with fireworks in Bangkok, according to Reuters. The Southeast Asian country is notably known for its tropical beaches and royal palaces.
Thailand wasn't the only country celebrating; other major nations also welcomed the New Year with fireworks and joy. Australia and New Zealand took the lead as the first major countries to usher in the year 2024. Over a million people celebrated the New Year on Sunday night amid stunning fireworks displays, illuminating the skies over Australia's Sydney Harbour and New Zealand's tallest structure, the Sky Tower in Auckland.
The countdown commenced against an illuminated digital display near the top of the 328-metre (1,076-foot) communications and observation tower, Al Jazeera reported. As the clock struck midnight in Australia's largest city, Sydney, a 12-minute fireworks display erupted around the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
The small Pacific island nations of Tonga, Samoa and Kiribati had ushered in the New Year an hour earlier. Notably, Kiribati, an island nation with 33 atolls, became the first place to bid farewell to 2023 and welcome the new year 2024 as the International Date Line loops around Kiribati's easternmost islands. Moreover, Taiwan also welcomed the New Year with fireworks. (ANI)

There were a number of shocking cases heard throughout courts in Wales in 2023 but no crime is more serious than taking the life of another person. Those convicted of murder automatically receive life imprisonment with a minimum tariff which often lasts decades. Those convicted of manslaughter receive more lenient sentences but have to live with the fact they have ended another human life.
The most important people to remember when it comes to these cases are the victims who no longer have their own voice. These range from a two-year-old girl murdered by her mother's boyfriend to a kind-hearted mother-of-three who was beaten to death decapitated and dismembered. Here is the full list of the killers who have been sentenced in Wales in 2023. For the latest court reports, sign up to our crime newsletter here

Kyle Bevan
Child killer Kyle Bevan launched a frenzied and brutal attack on defenceless two-year-old Lola James at her home in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire. During the attack he left the little girl with the kind of injuries usually found in car crash victims. He had only been in a relationship with her mum, Sinead James, a few months after adding her on Facebook before moving in with her in early 2020 as the country went into lockdown.
After raining down blows on Lola in the attack in the middle of July 2020 he began searching for information on the internet about head injuries before taking photos and a video of her limp body in a sickening plot to try and cover his tracks. He instead messaged his mother – a healthcare worker – who then raised the alarm.
Police later found that the toddler appeared to have been washed with temporary tattoos she had on her arm scrubbed off and her hair soaking wet. A Frozen hoody of hers, which was stained with vomit, was then hidden in a cupboard. And while the rest of the family home was an absolute state the bathroom was suspiciously clean.
As Lola was rushed to hospital Bevan then concocted a story about how the toddler had been knocked down the stairs by the family dog – despite there being a baby gate on her room – as her mother slept. Drug user Bevan claimed he was innocent but refused to give evidence during his trial at Swansea Crown Court and jurors found him guilty of murder
Bevan was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 28 years. James was sentenced to six years in prison for causing or allowing the death of a child. She will serve up to half that sentence in custody before being released on licence to serve the remainder in the community.
Luke Deeley
Luke Deeley walked into the home of June Fox-Roberts and beat her to death in a brutal attack before he decapitated and dismembered the "kind-hearted" mother-of-three with an axe. He pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of the 65-year-old who was found dead at her home in Llantwit Fardre, near Pontypridd, on November 21, 2021. Police officers were called to the home in St Anne’s Drive after being contacted by a concerned family member.
Deeley was charged with murder but his not guilty plea was accepted by the Crown and he admitted an alternative count of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. At a hearing at Newport Crown Court John Hipkin KC said Deeley had been sectioned under section 45 of the Mental Health Act and had been remanded in a psychiatric hospital. He said three psychiatric reports had been prepared and were of the same opinion that Deeley was suffering an "abnormality of mind" – namely paranoid schizophrenia – at the time of Mrs Fox-Roberts' death. It was agreed that Deeley's ability to understand the nature of his conduct, to form a rational judgement, and to exercise self-control was "substantially impaired" as a result of his condition.
The victim, a mother to three adult children, had lived in her home for 40 years and had worked as an IT trainer. "Despite having several medical problems she was known to those who knew her as a caring, motherly figure and strongly independent," said Mr Hipkin. He added: “There is no evidence to suggest she knew the defendant.”
At around 1.45am on November 21 Deeley was seen on CCTV near St Anne’s Drive and was seen entering the home of Mrs Fox-Roberts. The defendant entered number 49 through an unlocked door. It’s likely Mrs Fox-Roberts was disturbed and went downstairs. It was here the violence began. She was assaulted whilst upright in the hallway and further assaulted while on the floor. Dr RIchard Jones in the pathologist’s post-mortem examination report noted blunt force injuries to the head of Mrs Fox-Roberts that appeared to be sustained in life.
From the hallway of the premises the defendant dragged his victim into the dining room area of the property and placed her in a tarpaulin. He proceeded to decapitate and dismember her and placed her limbs into separated bags using an axe recovered at the scene to achieve this. Deeley also brought a chainsaw into the property but did not use it while dismembering Mrs Fox-Roberts.
Deeley, 28, was made subject to a hospital order under section 37 of the Mental Health Act 1983 meaning he will be detained at a high-security hospital. He was also made subject to special restrictions set out in section 41 of the act without limit of time.
Josif Nushi, Mihal Dhana, and Hysland Aliaj
Tomasz Waga was "dumped like a bag of rubbish" by his killers who attacked him for burgling a cannabis factory. Mr Waga was beaten to death by members of an Albanian organised crime group who descended on the scene after the alarm was raised.
Having travelled to Cardiff from London on January 28, 2021, Mr Waga and associated Carl Davies planned to steal £120,000 worth of cannabis plants from a factory in Cardiff. Unbeknown to them gardener Hysland Aliaj was in the factory when they broke in and called other members of the crime group, which included Josif Nushi and Mihal Dhana.
The 23-year-old was beaten by Nushi and Dhana with a baseball bat and a bamboo cane and either they or Aliaj hit him with half a house brick. Mr Waga was also kicked and stamped in the head and body before being dragged out of the house and thrown into a Mercedes car. He suffered 28 injuries to his head and mouth, bruising to his chest, and damage to his seventh, eighth, and 10th ribs and to his arms and a degree of swelling and bruising to his brain.
He was driven from 319 Newport Road and his body was dumped in Westville Road and his mobile phone was taken. The deceased was later found by a passer-by the same evening. The cause of death was given as obstruction to the airways by blood. Following the killing Nushi, Dhana, and Aliaj fled to Albania but were eventually extradited back to the UK before standing trial.
Nushi, 28. and Dhana, 29, were found guilty of Mr Waga's murder following a trial at Newport Crown Court. Gardener Aliaj, 31, was found guilty of manslaughter. Nushi was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 20 years. Dhana was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 16 years. Aliaj was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment and will serve two-thirds of the sentence in custody before being considered for parole.
Alun Titford and Sarah Lloyd-Jones
Parents Alun Titford and Sarah Lloyd-Jones neglected their disabled daughter Kaylea Titford to the point that she died in her own filth weighing 23st. When paramedics found the body of Kaylea at the family home in Powys the teenager was lying in soiled clothing and bedding on a mattress crawling with maggots and flies during 2020 while the country was in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. The 16-year-old's hair was dirty and matted, her body was unwashed, and her skin was ulcerated. Police officers noted an "unbearable" rotting smell in the room.
Kaylea's mother, 40-year-old Sarah Lloyd-Jones, admitted manslaughter by gross negligence but her father Alun Titford denied the offence saying his partner had been responsible for looking after their daughter. Titford, aged 45, was convicted at Mold Crown Court following a two-and-a-half week trial during which jurors were shown harrowing pictures of the conditions Kaylea lived in. Both parents later tried to blame other agencies and claimed they had no help during the pandemic.
However those claims were rejected by a judge who said both had ignored offers of help and had also failed to get help. The court also heard that more than £1,000 was spent on takeaway and fast food in the three months before Kaylea's death.
Alun Titford was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison. He will serve two-thirds of that period in custody before being released on licence. Sarah Lloyd-Jones, who pleaded guilty rather than being convicted at trial and therefore received a reduced sentence, was sentenced to six years in prison. She will serve two-thirds of that sentence in custody before being released on licence to serve the remainder in the community.
Lewis Bush
"Caring, loving, and kind" grandmother Kelly Pitt was brutally murdered by her own son who left her for dead in her own home for two days before she was discovered. He callously attempted to clean the scene before leaving the house to withdraw cash and buy a bottle of Stella Artois while her "black and blue" body lay on her bed.
Bush, 27, assaulted and bullied Kelly Pitt, 44, for years before he murdered her at her home in Newport on May 10. She sustained horrendous injuries with lacerations to her face which was purple and swollen when she was discovered. The bedding and mattress was soaked with her own blood.
Having killed his mother Bush lied to his sister Jordan about his mother's condition and fled the scene after Jordan's partner Kieron Saunders attended her flat in Sandalwood Court on the morning of May 12. He later attended a police station and upon being arrested on suspicion of murdering Ms Pitt he said: "Murder, murder? You must be joking," and: "What? My mum is dead? Serious?"
He later pleaded guilty to his mother's murder after initially denying being responsible. The defendant was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 16 years at Newport Crown Court in an emotionally-charged hearing which saw family members approaching the dock and calling Bush a "murdering scumbag c***".
Colin Milburn
Colin Milburn brutally murdered his partner of 32 years after wrongly believing she was being unfaithful. He bludgeoned Buddug Jones to death at her home in Maes Gwelfor in Rhydwyn, near Holyhead, on April 22 last year. Milburn was "fixated" with the idea that Ms Jones, 48, was having an affair. When she ended their three-decade relationship he waited for her to be alone in her house in a cul-de-sac and killed her in what was described as a "cowardly and brutal attack".
A pathologist said the most likely weapon used in the attack was a hammer. She died of catastrophic head injuries.
Milburn claimed he only found her body and rushed outside to get help from the neighbours. He said he didn’t know how she died and still loved her. But a jury of nine men and three women took six and a half hours to reach an 11-1 majority verdict finding him guilty after an 18-day trial.
At his sentencing hearing at Caernarfon Crown Court Judge Rhys Rowlands told the defendant he was a controlling man which can lead to violence when it is perceived that that influence is lessening. He said: "You are a man consumed by self-interest and [the] belief you were hard done by." Milburn was jailed for life and he will serve a minimum term of 20 years imprisonment, minus 231 days already served on remand, before his case is eligible to be considered by the Parole Board.
Rebecca Press
Rebecca Press murdered her mother’s neighbour by stabbing him in the chest. She took a knife from a kitchen drawer and stabbed the victim near the heart leaving him with unsurvivable injuries.
The 31-year-old killed Marc Ash at her mother’s flat in New Tredegar, Caerphilly, on July 17 last year. She had become upset after finding out her ex-boyfriend had been cheating on her but when Mr Ash, 57, tried to calm her down she attacked him.
She later told her mother Michelle Press: “I have stabbed your f****** best friend” before fleeing the address and hiding in a bush. She left a voicemail for her ex-boyfriend Ashley Allan which said: “‘Ash it’s really bad. It’s really f****** bad. I’ve just stabbed someone and killed them. I’ve just murdered someone. Please phone me now. F*** (screams). I’ve just murdered someone”.
The defendant had initially attended New Tredegar Rugby Club and Dynevor Arms with Mr Ash and was said to be “having a good time”. She had been drinking throughout the day and told her mother she had taken Valium. Following her arrest a urine sample was taken and substances including alcohol, bromazolam and etizolam, amphetamine, MDMA, and THC were discovered in her system. More than 600 tablets containing MDMA and bromazolam were found in her possession.
Press initially denied murder, claiming Mr Ash was aggressive and she had acted in self-defence, but she changed her plea to guilty during her trial at Cardiff Crown Court. The Recorder of Cardiff, Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke, sentenced Press to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 20 years.
Mark Jones
Mark Jones knifed friend Kyle Walley to death then posted video footage of his lifeless victim. The killer was said to be "obsessed" with knives and murdered Mr Walley, 19, following an argument when the pair met up in Rhosymedre, Wrexham, to watch the Euro 2020 final between England and Italy.
A trial at Mold Crown Court was told Jones had shared his visit to the property on Snapchat. It initially showed how the pair were drinking alcohol with bottles of whisky and other spirits shown in a seconds-long clip. The court heard how Jones’ posts started to take a more sinister turn with one clip showing him alone talking directly to the camera saying he was going to “chef someone up” – an expression that the prosecution said referred to plans of stabbing someone. The court was shown another video clip, captured and uploaded by Jones, that showed the men involved in a heated argument.
During the exchange Jones could be heard shouting: “It’s my ADHD lad”. It then cut to a clip of a lifeless Walley who appeared to have fallen into and then behind the sofa. Jones, still filming, was shown to be “stamping” on his bleeding victim and shouting at him, the court heard. A final clip that was recovered from the social media platform saw Jones, now having fled the scene on his bike, filming his blood-soaked hands. “Man’s gonna get loads of time for stabbing him up,” said Jones to his followers on the app while also claiming that “loads of people were after” Walley and that his victim “deserved it”. The court heard how the teenager had looked up various types of knives on Google prior to the killing and carried out research into the murder of a south Wales teenager that involved a stabbing by viewing several BBC News reports.
Passing a life sentence Lord Justice Eyre ordered Jones, 19, to serve a minimum term of 16 years and 126 days behind bars. He called the killed "despicable" and branded the Snapchat footage "sickening".
Andrew Southwood
Andrew Southwood murdered a convicted rapist who was his partner's brother with a plank of wood. He left Carl Ball with internal bleeding which caused his death outside his Newport flat.
The 39-year-old mortally wounded Mr Ball, 51, outside his home in Heron Way, Duffryn, on August 19, 2022, just minutes after Mr Ball had been dropped off by PCSOs. They were called back to the scene and discovered the victim lying injured outside the flat.
A trial at Newport Crown Court heard Mr Ball was was “gaunt, pale, and complaining that he could not breathe”. By this stage he was “slowly dying” from internal bleeding coming from muscle tissue and the spleen, which had been torn in multiple places. As he lay dying Mr Ball told officers “Southwood” was responsible for the attack.
An air ambulance attended the scene but Mr Ball’s condition deteriorated with blood loss causing his heart to stop beating. He went into cardiac arrest. CPR was given but despite the best efforts of the emergency services Mr Ball was pronounced dead
Mr Ball was convicted in 2001 of raping a woman and sexually abusing a child for which he was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment. Prior to his death he had been subjected to various assaults in the run-up to his death but there is no suggestion Southwood was involved in these attacks.
Forensic evidence was also compiled including Mr Ball’s clothing, Southwood’s trainers, and a plank of wood found near Chaffinch Way. Splinters taken from Mr Ball’s hoody, orange T-shirt, and Southwood’s trainers were found to have originated from the plank of wood. The plank also contained a small blood stain but no DNA material could be traced but a further swabs contained DNA material linked to Mr Ball, Southwood, and two unknown individuals.
Southwood was convicted of Mr Ball's murder following a trial. He was jailed for life with a minimum term of 20 years.
Paul Jenkins
Paul Jenkins stabbed his vulnerable friend 70 times in a "brutal and frenzied" murder. He attacked 61-year-old David Green in his own home, repeatedly stabbing him to the face and chest with two kitchen knives. He then walked into a nearby pub and told the landlord that he "liked to drink his boyfriend's blood".
Mr Green was described as a "kind and gentle" loner who lived in sheltered accommodation in Swansea city centre and who had been befriended by his killer in a local pub. Jenkins, 39, has a history of violent and aggressive behaviour and his mother had described him as having a "Jekyll and Hyde" character which alternated between being nice and volatile.
Swansea Crown Court heard that on April 6 staff at a hostel in Paxton Street where Jenkins lived reported he was in a "very angry" state and accused another resident of talking about his sexuality behind his back. He stormed off and said he was going for a drink. At just after 7pm he went to Mr Green's flat and it was there he carried out the brutal attack. The court heard a post-mortem examination would later find almost 70 stab wounds to the victim's chest, face, head, and neck in addition to a number of slash wounds to his face. The pathologist also found a number of "defensive wounds" on Mr Green's hands suggested he had tried to fight off his assailant.
After murdering Mr Green Jenkins walked into the Hippos bar in High Street and ordered a pint of Carling. The bar was empty at the time and the defendant said he liked it that way. Staff noticed he had red staining on his clothes. The court heard Jenkins said to the landlord: "I'm gay", to which the boss replied it made do difference to him, and then Jenkins announced: "I like to drink my boyfriend's blood."
Jenkins later rang his mother to say he had "used a knife on Dave" and she told him to go to the police. At midday on April 9 the defendant walked into Swansea Central police station and gave his details and it was realised he was the person who had been reported missing from his hostel. Due to cuts on his arms he was taken to Morriston Hospital and en route he told the constable transporting him that he had stabbed his friend "Dave" in the heart and he didn't think he was alive.
The court heard that when officers went to Mr Green's flat they found his body lying in a pool of blood behind the sofa in the living room. He was covered in blankets and there was an upturned chair on top of the body. Two blood-stained knives were found nearby – one of which had a broken handle.
Jenkins pleaded guilty to murder and to possession of a bladed article. He was sentenced to life in prison and must serve at least 20 years before he can apply to the Parole Board for release.
Carl Silcox
Carl Silcox murdered his partner Adell Cowan by causing horrific internal injuries with a broom handle before leaving her in his flat as he called the police from a phone box. When he spoke to the 999 operator he said: "I just woke up and my missus is dead."
The 45-year-old killed Ms Cowan, 43, at his home in Caerphilly on October 18, 2020, after inserting the broom handle into her anus, causing catastrophic injuries which caused her death. The broom was later found at the scene was was covered with Ms Cowan's blood and excrement and a trace of the defendant's semen was also found.
A trial at Cardiff Crown Court previously heard Silcox told the emergency services he had discovered Ms Cowan lying in the bedroom "cold and dead". As well as her internal injuries she had suffered facial injuries.
The defendant, o Commercial Street, Aberbargoed, claimed the deceased's injuries had been caused by a gang of youths but changed his story and claimed Ms Cowan worked as a prostitute and her injuries had been caused by a client. But a jury dismissed Silcox's claims and convicted him of Ms Cowan's murder.
Silcox was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 25 years. Once he has served that term the Parole Board will decide whether he can be released and if and when he is freed he will spent the rest of his life on licence.
Daniel Pickering
Daniel Pickering punched, stamped, and kicked stranger Matthew Thomas to death outside a bar after a day spent drinking alcohol and taking hundreds of pounds worth of cocaine. After punching his victim to the ground in an unprovoked attack Pickering was heard to shout that he was going to finish him off before kicking and stamping on the unconscious man even as members of staff fought to keep him alive.
The killer had denied murdering Mr Thomas – known as Brew – but was convicted following a trial at Swansea Crown Court. The victim had spent the evening drinking with friends in Neath town centre. He was described during the trial as a "character" and a sociable man who would talk to anyone and who loved "banter" and telling stories. By around midnight he was in The Arch bar in Commercial Street. Also in the bar that night was Pickering.
The defendant had recently moved to Neath to stay with his mother and had been bailed to her home address after being charged with assaulting a barman in a pub in Hampshire. The 34-year-old had spent July 14 drinking heavily and had also bought around £600-worth of cocaine after approaching a stranger in the town centre and asking him if he could source drugs. He also took a taxi to Port Talbot looking for a prostitute.
The trial heard how Mr Thomas and the defendant met at the bar in the Arch where Mr Thomas was talking to members of a wedding party. However an argument broke out between the two men and Pickering was ejected from the premises because of his behaviour. Instead of leaving the area the defendant hung around outside and when Mr Thomas left around a quarter of an hour later there was an altercation in the street.
The court heard how Mr Thomas was offering no threat to the shirtless Pickering when the defendant suddenly punched him in the face causing him to stumble. Mr Thomas stayed on his feet but Pickering then delivered a "full-force punch" – described by one witness as a "boxer's punch" or a "Mike Tyson punch" – to the face which rendered his victim unconscious and sent him to the floor where he struck his head on the ground.
Bar staff and members of the public rushed to help the stricken man, including putting him in the recovery position and running for a defibrillator, but Pickering stood over his unconscious victim swearing and shouting threats that he would bite his nose off and "finish him off". Pickering then repeatedly punched him and either kicked or stamped on his head, or both, before walking away. Pickering was was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 18 years before he can apply for release.
Darren Smith
Darren Smith murdered his neighbour at a caravan park after beating him unconscious and setting fire to his caravan. The victim's body was described as "smouldering and smoking" after being pulled from the fire.
The 43-year-old killed Richard Thomas at the Beeches caravan park in Magor, Monmouthshire, on December 20, 2021, after an argument between the two men resulted in the murderer assaulting his victim and leaving him with a head injury and broken ribs. He then poured petrol on and around the victim before setting the caravan alight and leaving Mr Thomas to die then walking back to his own caravan.
The fire was discovered by the site owner's son Jason Pritchard who saw smoke coming from Mr Thomas' caravan and put the fire out with a hose. He then saw Mr Thomas lying on the floor and tried to pull him out but the victim's skin degloved from his body. Emergency services were called to the caravan site and firefighters performed a "snatch recue" of Mr Thomas. His arms and legs were badly burnt and were beginning to "curl" – a sign of major tendon damage.
Mr Thomas was doused in water as firefighters attempted to save his life and applied cooling gel packs. Two firefighters reported hearing the victim saying "stop hitting me" or "stop hurting me" but despite their best efforts Mr Thomas died as a result of his injuries.
Smith had run back to his own caravan and pretended he had just woken up when police went to speak to him. A firefighter noticed the defendant had black on his lips and nostrils and Mr Pritchard told him he had seen him walking from Mr Thomas' caravan shortly before the fire was discovered. Smith responded by telling Mr Pritchard: "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" and saying while referring to Mr Thomas: "If he dies he dies." Smith later sent a text message to a friend saying: "I have done something stupid."
Smith was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 25 years. He remained emotionless as the sentence was delivered in court.
Jamie Mitchell
Cowardly Jamie Mitchell chased his unarmed victim into a dead-end alleyway before inflicting a single fatal stab wound. Jamie Scott Mitchell, 25, wrongly thought Steven Wilkinson had smashed a window at his mother's home prompting the fatal pursuit.
The killer had been at his mother’s home when he heard a window smash and went out to try and find the person responsible. He claimed he only intended to scare them. He came across Mr Wilkinson – who had nothing to do with the window being broken – on waste ground during the incident on October 4 last year.
A jury at Mold Crown Court heard Mitchell chased Mr Wilkinson into a blocked alleyway at the Jubilee Court complex in Buckley, Flintshire. Mitchell insisted the men had simply “collided” with each other but Mr Wilkinson sustained a six-to-seven-inch stab wound to his chest under his left armpit.
Jess Wilkinson – the victim’s sister, who was seeing Mitchell – said that after the window had been smashed at Mitchell’s mother’s home he had left and she had hid in a bedroom. Later she heard the front door bang loudly and the sound of metal on metal, which a jury heard was Mitchell dropping the knife into a sink downstairs.
She said Mitchell’s mum asked the defendant: “What have you done?” and Mitchell came up to the bedroom “shaking and looking as if he had just seen a ghost”. He told Miss Wilkinson he had stabbed her brother.
Mitchell was sentenced to life in prison and ordered that he must serve a minimum of 22 years behind bars before he can be considered for parole.
Carrie McGuinness
Carrie McGuinness laughed as she told a neighbour she had "just stabbed" her partner who was later found dead. The qualified teacher knifed partner Steven Davies who later rang a friend and said: "I'm dying." Days later another friend went to 39-year-old Mr Davies' home in Glyncoch near Pontypridd and could see his friend "naked and face-down on his bed".
Police officers attended the scene and found Mr Davies lying hunched over a bloodied bed while his "face appeared green". Divorced mother-of-two McGuinness, 35, pleaded guilty to manslaughter having denied murder.
After Mr Davies' body was discovered police officers attended McGuinness’ address at Ynys Close, Rhydyfelin, to notify her of Mr Davies’ death but she told them she already knew. She said Mr Davies had been staying at her house over the last few weeks but had left on the morning of June 10 and she had not seen him since despite expecting him to return.
McGuinness' neighbour Mr Fletcher saw the defendant on June 10 walking back from the shop with a bag of alcohol. He saw she had a black eye and a cut across the bridge of her nose. She told Mr Fletcher: “He beat me up.” When asked where Mr Davies was McGuinness laughed and replied: “He’s in the house. I just stabbed him.”
The defendant was sentenced to 15 years and six months imprisonment with an extended three years on licence. She will serve two-thirds of the custodial sentence in jail before she can be considered for parole.
Daniel White
Daniel White brutally murdered his wife Angie by strangling her before going downstairs to get a knife and returning to cut her throat. The killing took place at the home they shared in Swansea on October 22 last year.
Just before 6am that morning South Wales Police received a phone call from White telling the operator that he "killed his wife by strangling her and cutting her throat" at the home. Police attended the scene and discovered Mrs White dead in the bedroom with injuries later described by doctors as sharp force trauma to the neck and a severed jugular vein.
Bloody footprints were discovered on the floor. A "lock-style knife" was found on the bed. Swansea Crown Court heard how White had strangled he, before going downstairs to find a knife and returning to cut her throat.
Officers found a mortice lock had been fitted to the door which had been forced open with damage caused to the door frame. White was later found in the Ynystawe area and he was arrested. Judge Paul Thomas KC sentenced White to a minimum prison term of 20 years and 10 months.
Jay Webster
Jay Webster killed his best friend Benjamin Lloyd in a one-punch attack after an argument outside a library and then pleaded with him: "Get up, get up." Cardiff Crown Court heard Webster, 28, had been drinking with his friend Mr Lloyd, 27, before the pair headed into Caerphilly town centre for a night out. But Webster was turned away from a pub for being too drunk and the pair became embroiled in a "silly argument" outside a library.
The court heard witnesses watched in horror as Webster punched Mr Lloyd to the head before he was sent crashing to the ground. A witness said: "I can recall Mr Lloyd hitting the ground hard and the noise was horrible. It was almost like the sound of a snap as his head hit the ground."
The court was told Webster appeared "absolutely devastated" as he stood over his best friend and was frantically saying: "Get up Ben. Get up." CCTV footage captured the moment the violence was sparked on April 1 this year.
Webster told onlookers he "did not mean to do it" after they had a "silly argument". He stayed with his friend as witnesses called for an ambulance before Mr Lloyd regained consciousness after three minutes.
Police arrived to find him with dried blood in his mouth before Mr Lloyd told officers he did not need medical assistance and did not want to make a complaint. The court heard Mr Lloyd was taken home to his father's house where he was urged to get medical attention by his worried family. He refused help but instead went to bed while his father checked on him during the night. His father kept an eye on Mr Lloyd through the night but discovered him at about 9.30am unconscious. His father attempted CPR but Mr Lloyd died.
Webster, of Senghenydd, near Caerphilly, pleaded guilty to manslaughter. He was jailed for five years and three months.
Tyler Lindley
No photo of the defendant was released
Tyler Lindley butchered" his brother Cameron and stabbed him to death with a kitchen knife in front of their mother in an attack driven by jealousy. He repeatedly plunged the blade into the victim's neck and chest in the garden of their mum's house as his older sibling fought for his life.
Cameron suffered horrific wounds in the assault and despite emergency treatment from police officers and paramedics the university student died at the scene. The killer, aged 20, has a long history of disturbed and challenging behaviour and in the years leading up to the murderous assault had made repeated threats against the life of his older sibling who he regarded as the "golden child" who had all their mother's love.
As youngsters Tyler and Cameron were put on the child protection register and were subsequently placed together with foster parents. Throughout Tyler's childhood he exhibited "problematic behaviour" both in school and in foster placements and there were interventions from a number of agencies and mental health services.
Two psychiatrists independently given a provisional diagnosis of unstable personality disorder but a formal diagnosis of such a condition was not possible until the subject reached the age of at last 25. The hallmarks of the defendant's condition could be seen in his behaviour both throughout his childhood and in the court at his sentencing hearing. Lindley was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 18 years before he can apply for release but it will be for the Parole Board to determine if he is safe to be let out.
David Redfern
David Redfern beat 71-year-old Margaret Barnes to death after the grandmother mistakenly walked into his house thinking it was her B&B. The injuries she sustained were likened to those caused by a high-speed car crash.
Mrs Barnes mistook Redfern's seaside home, Belmont House, for Wavecrest B&B where she was actually staying further down the street in Barmouth. Redfern discovered her in bed and drinking a glass of gin with her false teeth on the side table and launched a savage attack.
A court heard he dragged seven-and-a-half-stone Mrs Barnes downstairs by her ankles while calling her a "scumbag" and a "thieving c***". Outside Redfern kicked and beat Mrs Barnes before mocking her as she lay defenceless on the ground.
Home Office pathologist Dr Brian Rodgers found she had suffered blunt force trauma. She had a neck and rib fractures and a ruptured liver triggering a bleed of a litre of fresh blood. Redfern was handed a life sentence with a minimum term of 14 years imprisonment.
Tony Thomas
No photo of the defendant was released
Tony Thomas kicked his "remarkable" dad Dafydd Thomas to death in a "sustained and brutal attack". The 46-year-old kicked and stamped on his father in an "explosion" of violence while wearing steel-toe-capped boots.
Thomas has a schizoaffective disorder but hadn't been treated for two years when he attacked his father Dafydd Thomas on March 25, 2021. On the day of the attack the defendant became enraged following a dispute over a shipment of pigs coming to the family farm in Gwynedd. Thomas, whose disorder meant he believed he played an important role in the fight against Covid, dragged his 65-year-old dad from a pickup on the driveway of his father's house
After being left in a pool of blood Dafydd Thomas died from severe blunt force trauma to the face. His son left the scene and washed his boots in an animal trough. The defendant accepted that he violently attacked his father but had denied his actions resulted in his subsequent death, claiming his dad was still alive when he left him in the road.
The court imposed a hospital order for the defendant, of Penrhyn Isaf, Minffordd, Penrhyndeudraeth, to be detained in a secure unit and a restriction order, also under the Mental Health Act and also without time limits, meaning the secretary of state must also rule on his length of detention.
Christopher Elgifari
Christopher Elgifari, 32, ran over Mark Lang who was delivering parcels in Cardiff on March 28 and dragged him for 743m after the victim became trapped between the van and the road. Mr Lang suffered catastrophic injuries including heart failure and brain damage before dying in hospital 17 days later.
As passers-by came to Mr Lang’s aid Elgifari ran from the scene and lay low at the home of his parents who were unaware of what their son had done. He was later arrested and admitted theft and manslaughter but he was found guilty of murder and robbery following a trial at Cardiff Crown Court.
Mr Lang had left the keys in his Ford Transit with the engine running as he delivered a parcel to a house in Laytonia Avenue. The defendant was walking past and took the opportunity to sneak into the victim’s van and drive off.
Unbeknown to Elgifari the street was a dead end and he was forced to perform a three-point turn before heading back towards Mr Lang who had stood in the road to prevent the defendant from escaping. But footage played to the court showed Elgifari driving straight over the victim without deviating before continuing to drive for more than 700m.
Elgifari drove down North Road and came to a stop in New Zealand Road but Mr Lang had suffered fatal injuries and never regained consciousness. Elgifari was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 32 years.

Everett finished with four receptions on nine targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 16-9 loss to Denver.
Everett surpassed the season high of eight targets that he had seen over the Chargers' last three contests, but he wound up finishing Sunday's loss with the lowest reception and yardage total of any game from that span. The veteran tight end wasn't the only player to struggle for a team that failed to score a touchdown against the now 8-8 Broncos. Everett and the rest of his teammates will look to end the season on a high note if they can upset the Chiefs in Week 18.

"Arctic hugs and polar greetings to all": Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny sends New Year message from prison
Despite being in a long jail sentence in Siberia, Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny said in his New Year message that he does not feel lonely and is in a "great" mood, but he still misses spending time with his family and friends in person, CNN reported.
- Country:
- Russia
Despite being in a long jail sentence in Siberia, Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny said in his New Year message that he does not feel lonely and is in a "great" mood, but he still misses spending time with his family and friends in person, CNN reported. In a New Year's Eve message posted on social media by his team, Navalny was quoted as saying that this will be the third time "I have taken the traditional family New Year's Eve photo with Photoshop."
"I am trying to keep up with the times, and this time I asked an artificial intelligence to draw me. I hope it turned out something fantastic - I will not see the picture myself until the letter with it arrives on Yamal," Navalny said, according to CNN. According to Navalny's staff, he is presently serving his term at the Russian Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Region's IK-3 prison colony.
However, Navalny continued by claiming that he doesn't experience any "loneliness, abandonment, or isolation. "'I miss you terribly' is a kind of incorrect construction from the point of view of the Russian language. It's better to say: 'I miss you a lot' or 'I miss you so much," Navalny said, adding "But from my point of view, it is more accurate and correct. I miss my family terribly. Yulia, my children, my parents, my brother. I miss my friends, colleagues, our office, and my work. I miss you all terribly."
"My mood is great and quite Christmassy. But there is no substitute for normal human communication in all its forms: from jokes at the New Year's table to correspondence in Telegram and comments on Instagram and Twitter [currently known as X]," he said, according to CNN. "Happy New Year to everyone," Navalny said. "Arctic hugs and polar greetings to all. Love you all," Navalny added.
Navalny has been behind bars since January 2021, when he returned to Moscow after recuperating in Germany from nerve agent poisoning that he blamed on the Kremlin. Prior to his arrest, he campaigned against corruption and organised major anti-Kremlin protests. He has since received three prison terms and spent months in isolation in Penal Colony Number 6 for alleged minor infractions.
A court extended Navalny's sentence to 19 years on "extremism" charges and ruled that he be moved to a more secure, harsher prison. Notably, Navalny has rejected all charges against him as politically motivated.
Further taking a jibe at Kremlin, the Russian opposition leader stated, "Since I'm Santa Claus, you're probably wondering about the presents... But I am a special-regime Santa Claus, so only those who have behaved very badly get presents," Al Jazeera reported. (ANI)

Johnston had three receptions (six targets) for 29 yards in Sunday's 16-9 loss to Denver.
The Chargers were without their top three receivers from the start of the season, so Johnston finished as one of three replacement wideouts to see six or more targets Sunday. The first-round rookie failed to capitalize on the added opportunity, posting his third consecutive game of 30 or fewer receiving yards. Johnston's role and fantasy value should remain unchanged heading into a Week 18 matchup against the Chiefs.

'All the weird and wonderful bargains I found at a shop selling things saved from the tip'
From a Mickey Mouse waffle maker to a Hetty Hoover, there's all sorts you can pick up on the cheap at the tip shop
For many of us, post-Christmas can be a time when we're watching our pennies after we've spent, spent, spent on gifts, food and nights out. So, it comes as a relief when you can hunt down a great bargain from an unexpected place.
If you're based near Swansea, you can look no further than Llansamlet Household Waste Recycling Centre. It might not be the first place you think of when you're deciding where to do with your Christmas shopping, but just one trip to the Tip Treasures reuse shop could leave you surprised.
It's a bargain-hunter's paradise that saves items from going on the rubbish heap and into the homes of new owners instead. When I visited last year, I found everything from a fancy coffee machine to an elliptical trainer. This year's trip proved no less random and bargain-filled, with fascinating items on display including a violin, a Mickey Mouse waffle maker and a baby pink Hetty hoover.
The exterior of the tip shop, which is a shipping container on the tip site, looks deceptively small. But walk inside and you'll find a, somewhat chaotic, treasure trove of bargain finds from electrical goods, children's toys, furniture, ornaments, crockery and clothing. At the back of the tip shop is a repair shop and all electrical goods - including TVs and stereos - are PAT tested and function tested for safety. You can get more Swansea news and other story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.
All items on sale in the shop have been saved from the waste stream and profits go back into the project. This helps reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill and gives local people the chance to find low cost items. You can donate items to the shop directly and the shop is usually open seven days a week from 9.30am-4.30pm, although Christmas and New Year hours vary. Find out more here. | https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/gallery/swansea-tip-treasures-bargains-llansamlet-28324882 | 2024-01-01T04:32:32Z |
51-inch tall 5-year-old Ram Lalla to be installed: Temple Trust
51-inch tall 5-year-old Ram Lalla to be installed: Temple Trust
Ayodhya: As Ayodhya gears up for the consecration of Ram temple on January 22, a 51-inch-tall idol of Lord Ram reflecting a five-year-old--Ram Lalla--has been selected for the 'pran pratishtha' during the grand ceremony.
The general secretary of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, Champat Rai said a meeting of the trust was held earlier to undertake voting to decide the idol of Lord Ram Lalla. The idol is going to be installed inside the sanctum sanctorum of the grand temple.
According to Rai, three sculptors entered the race. Acclaimed sculptors from Rajasthan and Bengaluru have made three statues. Arun Yogiraj of Mysore and KL Bhatt of Bengaluru have made the statue with a dark complexion. Arun Yogiraj made a 51-inch idol.
"Exquisitely crafted idol of Lord Ram in the form of a 5-year-old Bal Ram has been chosen," he said. According to him, Lord Ram's idol has eyes resembling lotus petals and his face shines like the moon. His long arms extending up to the knees as he wears a serene smile on the lips. Ram Lalla has an inherent divine serenity and a spell-binding look," he added.
One can get a glimpse of the son of King Dasarath and the incarnation of Vishnu in the exquisitely sculpted idol. Champat Rai said that the statue would be consecrated at the sanctum sanctorum of Lord Ram's temple. Rai further said the portion of the temple where the idol is to be installed is ready.
On Thursday, Shri Ram Mandir Construction Committee Chairman Nripendra Misra took stock of the ongoing construction work on the Ram Janmabhoomi Path and the complex along with the top district official.
The inspection came ahead of the consecration ceremony, scheduled for next month, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the temple city on Saturday. "The work is not being done hastily, rather it is being done qualitatively by investing enough time into it," Misra said. According to temple officials, the consecration ceremony will be held over seven days, starting on January 16. | https://www.etvbharat.com/english/state/uttar-pradesh/51-inch-tall-5-year-old-ram-lalla-to-be-installed-in-ram-mandir-says-temple-trust/na20240101081619340340130 | 2024-01-01T04:32:31Z |
7-20-25 programme boosts Kazakhstan's mortgage market - KazISS expert
In 2018, the amount of mortgage loans approved by the banks approximated 45bn tenge. About 4,000 Kazakhstanis could buy a new housing thanks to this programme.
The expert says that 7-20-25 programme made mortgage loans more affordable for the population.
This initiative is the most beneficial one as the interest rate is 7% and initial installment is 20% only, she says.
Thus, in her opinion, the 7-20-25 programme became a driver of the country's mortgage market.
According to Baspana mortgage organization, the operator of the 7-20-25 programme, in 2018, the second-tier banks of the country approved 30 mortgage loans every day to the total amount of 370mn tenge. BankCenterCredit and Tsesnabank lead in issuing the mortgage loans.
"This mortgage programme provides a good opportunity for improving well-being of various categories of people. The programme is expected to have a multiplicative effect on the entire construction sector of the country," Anna Alshanskaya added. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/7-20-25-programme-boosts-kazakhstan-s-mortgage-market-kaziss-expert_a3493496/ | 2024-01-01T04:32:31Z |

Pacheco rushed the ball 18 times for 130 yards in Sunday's 25-17 win over the Bengals. He added seven receptions on seven targets for 35 yards and a touchdown.
Pacheco accounted for all of the work out of the Kanas City backfield with Clyde Edwards-Helarie (illness) inactive. He took advantage by gashing the Cincinnati defense for long runs of 37 and 35 yards, helping him tally his highest rushing yardage total of the season and second performance of at least 150 yards from scrimmage. Pacheco also tallied his ninth score of the campaign on an eight-yard touchdown catch late in the first quarter. He needs 65 rushing yards in a Week 18 matchup against the Chargers to crack the century mark for the season. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/chiefs-isiah-pacheco-racks-up-165-total-yards/ | 2024-01-01T04:32:34Z |
Denmark's Queen Margrethe II announces abdication after 52-year reign in New Year's eve speech
During her annual New Year's Eve address shown on Danish television, Margrethe, 83, announced that she would be handing over the crown to her son, Crown Prince Frederik.
- Country:
- Denmark
After more than 50 years in power, Denmark's Queen Margrethe II has unexpectedly declared she will step down early in 2024, according to CNN. During her annual New Year's Eve address shown on Danish television, Margrethe, 83, announced that she would be handing over the crown to her son, Crown Prince Frederik.
She gave an example of her beliefs about the future -- referencing a back operation she underwent in February 2023. "In two weeks time, I have been Queen of Denmark for 52 years. Such an amount will leave its mark on anybody--and also on me! The time takes its toll, and the number of 'ailments' increases. One cannot undertake as much as one managed in the past," the queen said, according to CNN.
The Danish queen said that she underwent "extensive back surgery" in February this year and added, "Everything went well, thanks to the competent health personnel, who took care of me. Inevitably, the operation gave cause to thoughts about the future - whether now would be an appropriate time to pass on the responsibility to the next generation." "I have decided that now is the right time," she said.
"On 14th January 2024 - 52 years after I succeeded my beloved father--I will step down as Queen of Denmark. I will hand over the throne to my son, Crown Prince Frederik," the queen announced, according to CNN. After King Frederik IX passed away on January 14, 1972, Queen Margrethe II assumed the throne.
Following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II of Britain in the previous year, Margrethe assumed the title of Europe's longest-serving queen. (ANI)

Ram Mandir: Fraudsters con people 'for' donation; VHP flags concern
Ram Mandir: Fraudsters con people 'for' donation; VHP flags concern
Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh): Weeks ahead of the grand consecration of Ram Mandir in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya, a racket is allegedly defrauding people in the guise of collecting donations to support the construction of the temple.
This scam has prompted the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) to approach Uttar Pradesh police. The VHP has also issued a warning on social media, asking people not to fall prey to the scam. "
"Alert..!! Some individuals are attempting fraud by creating fake IDs in the name of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirth Kshetra to deceive people. @HMOIndia @CPDelhi @dgpup @Uppolice should take prompt action against such individuals," VHP's National Spokesperson Vinod Bansal said in a post on X on Sunday. Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Nyas has not authorized anyone to collect funds for this occasion. We have sent the formal complaint to the @dgpup and @Igrangelucknow to take immediate steps in the matter of faith," he added.
The VHP spokesperson also issued a video message, claiming that they had been informed about the racket trying to loot devotees in the name of donations for the temple.
"We have been informed that some people are trying to collect money through social media by creating a fake ID in the name of Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra and generating a fake QR code," Bansal said in the video message. Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra has not given anyone any right to collect money in any way. And those who are making such efforts want to cheat people in a fraudulent manner, and action should be taken against them. For this, I have immediately informed the Ministry of Home Affairs, DGP Uttar Pradesh, and the Delhi Commissioner of Police and demanded that the strictest action be taken against such people. And people should also be careful. This is a time of celebration, and we are going to give invitations and not accept any donation or gift of any kind," he added.
According to the VHP, a miscreant identified as Abhishek Kumar sought funds for Ayodhya Temple Development on social media.
He has posted the UPI QR codes in Facebook groups with the line 'Ram Mandir Ayodhya Chanda pradarshan Karen.' On scanning the QR Code, UPI will direct the user to UPI ID '9040914736@Paytm' with the name Manisha Nallabelly," Girish Bhardwaj, a VHP member said in a letter to the Uttar Pradesh DGP and IG.
He further mentioned in the letter that the Shri Ram Janmbhumi Teerth Kshetra Trust has clarified many times that no private person or people are authorized to collect funds for the temple.
"Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra is a trust set that has been given the responsibility of the construction and management of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. "There seems to be a malicious motive to deceive unsuspecting devotees and use social media to collect money illegally. At a time when the entire nation is rejoicing over the Ram Temple inauguration, such preposterous activities should be nipped in the bud. I have attached screenshots for your reference. Please do the needful in this regard,\" Bhardwaj added in his letter. | https://www.etvbharat.com/english/state/uttar-pradesh/ram-mandir-fraudsters-con-people-in-name-of-donation-vhp-flags-concern/na20240101075552581581453 | 2024-01-01T04:32:38Z |

8 killed, 7 injured in church blast in southern Philippines
The twin explosions happened after an mass at 8:00 a.m. local time at the Jolo Cathedral in Jolo, Sulu. The victims are mostly churchgoers, according to initial reports, Xinhua reports.
Philippine security forces were investigating the incident. There is a possibility that the death toll may increase, reports said.
The military has yet to officially issue details of the deadly explosions.
The bombings took place days after the ratification of the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL), a new law that paves the way for the creation of a wider autonomous region for Muslim Filipinos in Mindanao.
Jolo rejected the BOL in a plebiscite on Monday but the law was ratified due to a landslide win in other predominantly Muslim provinces, including Lanao del Sur and Magiuindanao.
The Commission on Elections said on Friday that the BOL was "deemed ratified" after getting more than 1.5 million favorable votes. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/8-killed-7-injured-in-church-blast-in-southern-philippines_a3492105/ | 2024-01-01T04:32:38Z |
Rice recorded five receptions on six targets for 127 yards in Sunday's 25-17 win over the Bengals.
Despite having targets split fairly evenly across several pass catchers, Rice emerged as the top pass catcher for the Chiefs in Sunday's win. His most impactful play of the game was a 67-yard catch down the right sideline late in the third quarter when he got behind the Bengals' secondary to help set up a field goal. That play also marked Rice's longest gain of the season and helped him to his second 100-yard performance in his last six contests. He also has three touchdowns in that span. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/chiefs-rashee-rice-second-100-yard-performance/ | 2024-01-01T04:32:40Z |
The last thing Alison Roberts was expecting this year was to be crowned the Welsh Learner of the Year. At the National Eisteddfod in Boduan near Pwllheli in August the mum-of-seven was in complete shock when she heard her name announced as the winner of the prestigious award during a special ceremony.
It was her partner Siôn who had put her name down for the competition but only told her about it two days before she received an email telling her she was one the final candidates. "I wasn’t expecting it at all to be honest," Alison recalled. "I saw the fellow contestants around me and their Welsh was really good – like academically really good Welsh. And I didn’t think I stood a chance.
"But I went with the flow, I said how I felt, and I was really shocked when they called my name out. I was shocked but excited – I didn’t know what to do, I was overwhelmed." For the latest analysis of the biggest stories, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here

LATEST: 'I didn't care about the Welsh language - then it changed my life'
For Alison learning Welsh has been an unexpected but heartwarming journey. By now the Anglesey mum is a fluent Welsh speaker and hopes that her story will inspire others to do the same. Alison was born and raised in the small village of Killin in the Scottish county of Perthshire.
Speaking to WalesOnline Alison explained that her intentions were always to leave Killin and move elsewhere. "It's a very seasonal and touristy village," she said. "So there aren't many jobs available to young people in the village and what is available is just seasonal. So from quite a young age I made up my mind that one day I would leave the village and make a life of my own elsewhere."
And as chance would have it that opportunity came up in 2007. "There was a gentleman down in Anglesey," Alison said. "I'd phoned him up one day as he was selling a young Shire horse. We got chatting over the phone and he realised then that I broke in horses for riding.
"So he started sending over Shire horses for me up in Scotland and I was backing and breaking them for him. He then asked if I would be willing to come down to Anglesey to ride one of his Shire horses for the Shire horse show in Bodelwyddan. So I agreed to do that – I came down and rode at the show. I had quite a few people approach me and ask me where I was based because they liked the way that I rode and handled the horses. And I thought: 'Oh, there's work for me here'."
Six weeks later Alison and her eldest daughter Teagan moved down to Anglesey. With their new home around 363 miles away from where they initially lived Alison admitted it was "quite a big change". But the following year her life would change even more when she met her partner Siôn.
"I'm a riding instructor with horses as well," she said. "I was teaching and I was asked by one of the local riding schools if I would be happy to teach one of their classes. Siôn was one of the pupils that I was teaching. We met and we got on really well as friends. One thing led to another – we settled down and had kids."
But for Siôn, who is a proud Welshman from Anglesey and whose first language is Welsh, speaking English with Alison wasn't always easy. It was from then onwards, among other reasons, that Alison decided to learn the language. She said: "Siôn is very Welsh, which is great and I am all for that, but he would tell me: 'Oh Alison, I’ve had enough of speaking English with you'.
"That was partly why I did decide to learn Welsh – I had moved to Wales and I thought: 'I must learn the language'. If I don’t, or if other people don’t, then the language is going to die out like what’s happened to the Gaelic language in Scotland unfortunately.
"I remember going shearing with Siôn in the first season after I met him. It didn’t bother me that much but Siôn and the farmers were having a conversation with each other in Welsh but I felt like I was not a part of what they were talking about. I understood the odd word but I wanted to be a part of that community."
Eventually Alison moved to Llanerch-y-medd with Siôn and they had six children together. Alison started learning the language by reading her children's books and magazines, listening to BBC Radio Cymru and S4C, and with the aid of Siôn, who would leave sticky notes with Welsh words on them all over the house.
Now a fluent Welsh speaker Alison said she never had a formal lesson. "It’s possible to do without having a Welsh lesson," she said. "There’s so much Welsh about. For me it was a conscious decision not to have a formal lesson.
"I don’t like being in big groups of people and stuff like that anyway – I like to keep myself to myself. I think having Teagan – and she was a young baby at the time – as well was working, it was hard for me to go to tuition in the evening or whenever they were on. Some of the lessons were far – some of them were over the bridge and so on. I was just able to pick up my Welsh through what I was doing day-to-day anyway.
“Everywhere I went I was able to learn it and it felt like everyone has been a part of my learning. Siôn and the kids have been a huge part of me learning Welsh especially with the kids going to school and then coming home with their school books and then having to read books to them – that’s been a huge part of my learning.
"The farming community has been a huge help, people at the local shop, and friends. I think that if you’re willing to learn the language Welsh people are so willing to help you learn as well. They don’t mind if you make mistakes and, yes, I’ve had the odd person pull me down – they’ll tell you you’ve said this but that’s not how you say it and it does knock your confidence but you have to rise above them and carry on."
And through her hard work, resilience, and commitment Alison received this year's Dysgwr y Flwyddyn Trophy at the National Eisteddfod, beating 29 other individuals who were interviewed for the title. When asked how she felt about winning the award at the time she said it had been an "emotional experience" but "brilliant".

To make this year an even more memorable one Alison and Siôn got married at the famous parish of Gretna Green in Scotland on October 20 – some 15 years after they first met. But while it started as an expression of love for her partner learning the language has developed into something so much more for Alison – especially in her work as a carer. Join our WhatsApp news community here for the latest breaking news.
"I consider myself Welsh through and through now," she said. "I feel like a part of the Anglesey community by now and they see me as a part of that as well. We only speak Welsh in our house – you'll rarely hear English.
"Back in Scotland my mum's absolutely hooked on Duolingo. She started learning Welsh a couple of years ago. It makes a difference when the kids get their birthday or Christmas cards from Granny saying stuff like 'Penblwydd Hapus' or 'Nadolig Llawen'."
She added: "Since learning Welsh it has opened so many more doors for me – especially with work. I feel that for me to walk into somebody’s house and be able to speak their first language is a huge thing for them. I think they are able to relax with you more, I think they are able to trust you more. They don’t get worried as much. You know you meet a lot of elderly people now where their first language has been Welsh for years and years – some of them don’t even know how to speak English or their English is very poor.
"It makes a huge difference and that’s why I want to push it so much to have more people to learn the basics of Welsh. It’s not even about getting into the nitty gritty of it but being able to ask someone how they are feeling in the morning or if they need anything in Welsh is enough."
When asked what the language means to her by now Alison said: "It means absolutely everything. As I mentioned with our own language in Scotland you don’t hear it at all. You have to go to the islands if you want to hear Gaelic being spoken. I don’t want that to happen here in Wales.
"I feel that if you live in Wales you need to learn the language. There are so many people that say it’s too hard to learn but it’s not and that’s a poor excuse. You don’t learn to drive a car in a day, you don’t learn to ride a bike in a day, you don’t learn how to cook in a day. You are not going to learn any language in a day. If you want to do it you’re going to do it. That’s what makes a difference – making your mind up." | https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/i-moved-wales-learnt-welsh-28264592 | 2024-01-01T04:32:42Z |

Kelce recorded three catches on four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 25-17 win over the Bengals.
Kansas City's offense showed signs of improvement in its Week 17 win over the Bengals, though that didn't carry over to Kelce's individual performance. Instead, his longest gain of the day went for only 10 yards and he was held under 50 receiving yards for the third straight contest. Despite the poor close to the campaign, Kelce needs only 16 yards to reach the century mark for the eighth straight year.

West Bengal: Russian citizen arrested in Siliguri as he was trying to enter India illegally
West Bengal: Russian citizen arrested in Siliguri as he was trying to enter India illegally
Siliguri (West Bengal): Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) personnel caught a Russian citizen while he was trying to enter India in the name of Lord Krishna, following which he was arrested by the officials of the Khadibari police station, police said on Monday.
The accused has been identified as Alexandrov Pavel, a resident of Russia. "An incomplete colored passport of Russia was also found in his possession," police sources said.
According to the sources, on Saturday, the Russian national was trying to enter India by walking through the pillar of Bazaar area of Khadi Bari block of the India-Nepal border. "At that time he had to be arrested. Due to inconsistency in the words, it is handed over to the Khadi Bari police station," sources added.
It is learned that Alexandrov Pavel came to Nepal from Russia last November. "During this period he visited India once. After crossing the border and staying for a few days in an ISKCON temple in South Bengal, he again returned to Nepal. But due to the pull of Lord Krishna, he wanted to come to India once again," police sources said.
They added that since Alexander Pavel did not have valid documents, he tried to enter India illegally. "However, the SSB personnel nabbed him and handed him over to the Police, following which he was apprehended," they added. | https://www.etvbharat.com/english/state/west-bengal/west-bengal-russian-citizen-arrested-in-siliguri-as-he-was-trying-to-enter-india-illegally/na20240101093011334334229 | 2024-01-01T04:32:51Z |

They include a thief who murdered a delivery driver after stealing his van and running over him on a busy Cardiff road. Christopher Elgifari was jailed for life at Cardiff Crown Court on the first day of December. For the latest court reports sign up to our crime newsletter here.
There was also a lengthy jail term for Ryan Wyn Jones who tried to stab a woman and boy to death while high on cocaine. A court heard he laughed as he carried out the horrendous attack.
Disqualified driver Liam Slade was racing along the M4 at speeds touching 125mph when he slammed into the back of a car carrying wedding guests and killed two much-loved mothers.
See the criminals and their crimes here:
Christopher Elgifari
The thief who murdered a delivery driver after stealing and running him over with his own van was jailed for life at the start of December. He held his head in his hands and looked at the floor as details of the murder were relayed to the court.
Elgifari, 31, ran over Mark Lang who was delivering parcels in Cardiff on March 28 and dragged him for 743m after the innocent victim became trapped between the van and the road. Mr Lang suffered catastrophic injuries including heart failure and brain damage before dying in hospital 17 days later.
As passers-by came to Mr Lang’s aid Elgifari ran from the scene and lay low at the home of his parents who were unaware of what their son had done. He was later arrested and admitted theft and manslaughter but he was found guilty of murder and robbery following a trial. You can recap our full coverage of the case here.
Ryan Wyn Jones
He was jailed for life for trying to stab a woman and boy to death and laughing as he did it. The 27-year-old launched an attack of appalling brutality while on cocaine. He laughed as he stabbed woman in the face and body 37 times.
One blow was so forceful the tip of the 30cm long bread knife was lodged in her skull. He also stabbed a boy with the broken blade and then stabbed a girl in the back and neck in the attack.
The bleeding boy ran to a relative's home for help, standing in the doorway in a pool of blood. Jones fled but police found him on a nearby bench holding the knife to his own neck and crying. Jailing him for life with a minimum term of 20 years for attempting to murder the woman and the boy and unlawfully wounding the girl a judge branded Jones highly dangerous.
Liam Slade
The disqualified driver was racing along the M4 at speeds touching 125mph when he slammed into the back of a car carrying wedding guests and killed two much-loved mothers. Slade ploughed into his victims near the Prince of Wales Bridge sending the car spinning off the carriageway and launching it into the air.
Saado Hussein and Suad Ahmed suffered catastrophic injuries in the crash and died at the scene. Other family members in the Peugeot car were seriously injured. Slade ran away from the collision but was recognised by police officers in Newport who saw a TikTok video shot inside the defendant's car on the night of the crash. The clip showed Slade driving at 125mph and showed his passengers apparently inhaling nitrous oxide gas.
Darren Leyshon
The drunken and prolific offender threatened, assaulted, and robbed customers at a popular restaurant. Leyshon told one of his victims he was a professional boxer and was going to "beat the ****" out of him and then he made "gun gestures" with his hand at the other and threatened to rip his head off.
One of the victims was on his first ever visit to Swansea on the evening in question and said the experience had left him feeling "unsafe and confused" and reconsidering whether he should go ahead with making an application to study in the city. Leyshon was on police bail at time of the offending at the city's Nando's restaurant having threatened to burn down a probation office a fortnight earlier.
Gary Evans
Evans was high on crack cocaine and off his anti-psychotic medication when he wandered the streets of Llanelli armed with two kitchen knives. The 41-year-old then stabbed a man in the chest "for no apparent reason" before walking off and telling a nearby delivery driver what he had done.
Armed police descended on the town centre looking for the knifeman and he was located a short time later. A judge said there seemed to be "an element of wanting to be arrested" in the defendant's actions on the day in question. Swansea Crown Court heard the he had a long history of violence including multiple assaults and robberies as well as convictions for possessing offensive weapons.
Eden Griffiths
The paedophile who groomed a schoolgirl gave her "rewards" of food, drinks, and gifts for sexually abusing her. Griffiths subjected his young victim to a catalogue of sickening abuse including oral rape.
The 26-year-old has been sentenced to 18 years in prison after being convicted of 20 sexual offences involving a young girl. Sending him down a judge said it was clear he had only been concerned about his own sexual gratification and had given no thought to the impact on the child he was abusing. Griffiths pressed his hand to the glass wall of the dock towards people in the public gallery as he was led down to the cells.
Patrick Likosso
The child rapist has been given a 29-year extended sentence for sexually abusing three young girls. Likosso was caught after a relative of one of his victims became concerned about what was going on and contacted the police.
Cardiff Crown Court heard that when police began to investigate the 45-year-old they identified two further victims of his sexual offending. Likosso was living in the Ely area of Cardiff when he arrested in August 2023 and he subsequently answered "no comment" to all questions asked in interview. Police have praised the bravery of the victims and their families in supporting the investigation and said they hope the sentencing will bring some "closure".
Christopher Wheatley
He was jailed for carrying out three street robberies in a little over 24 hours. Wheatley approached people "at random" and snatched their bags, threatening to stab them if they resisted.
The 23-year-old has a history of serious offending including house burglaries, assault, possession of knives, and drug dealing and was out of prison on licence at the time he robbed his victims. The court heard the defendant has "acquired a very concerning antecedent record in a relatively short period of time".
Sali Kadria and Zenel Sulaj
A man found in a cannabis factory with around 680 plants worth up to £700,000 is to be deported back to Albania after "wasting two years of his life". Sulaj, 30, was found at the property in Newport on October 20 with another Albanian man Kadria.
Officers discovered three growing rooms with cannabis plants being grown on a commercial basis. Two of the rooms contained 169 plants with the third containing 344 plants at various stages of vegetation. The plants were estimated to have a street value up to £716,100.
Dylan Willis
He has been locked up for nearly 10 years for stabbing a man in the chest. The 28-year-old admitted wounding Cohen McCann following a house party in Cwmbran in June.
The injuries, which included damage to his right lung, left Mr McCann feeling “very lucky to be alive” and saw him hospitalised for a number of weeks. It was heard how the victim and defendant attended the house gathering where a number of young people were enjoying a drink together. However at around 8.30pm the mood “took a turn for the worse” and male members of the group began fighting.
Jeff Charles
The drug addict injured a bedbound 99-year-old woman after randomly picking up a brick and throwing it at her window. She was left with a laceration to her head which was bleeding.
The 45-year-old was under the influence of drugs and alcohol when he walked past the Cardiff home of his victim on October 27. In what was described as an "unprovoked and unnecessary act" the defendant picked up a brick used to prop open a gate and threw it through the front window of her property.
Alexander Tindal
The "sadistic" paedophile forced children to perform degrading sexual acts on camera and threatened to distribute the images if they did not send more. One of his victims was left crying in pain while begging the pervert to stop.
The 31-year-old, of Bridgend, sexually abused more than 30 children online over a period of two and a half years and continued to exploit girls after he was first arrested. The "isolated" defendant pretended to be a teenage boy and approached his victims on Snapchat before asking them for intimate photos of themselves. Read his sentencing here.
Carl John
The driver deliberately knocked down a man in a "revenge attack" sending him flying into the air. John went looking for his target following an altercation in a nightclub and when he spotted him waiting for a taxi he ploughed into him before speeding off.
The defendant was traced by police and arrested at his mother's house and he told them he had only swerved at the man to try to frighten him and that the collision had been caused by the victim moving. Sending him to prison the judge told the 38-year-old father-of-four that he had used his car as a "weapon" and it was only down to chance that the had not caused more serious injuries.
Martin Gauci
The serial burglar was caught breaking into a flat above a historic pub in Cardiff city centre after he set off a motion sensor which alerted the victim. He stole a bike worth £500 and cash.
The 49-year-old broke into a flat above the Golden Cross pub at around 7.30pm on December 14, 2022. After entering the victim's bedroom he was caught on a motion-sensor security camera which sent a notification to the victim's phone.
Adrian Edwards
The tattooist who paid a teenage girl for sex in his tattoo parlour was jailed. He gave her a tattoo in exchange for sexual favours and later told police he was "killing two birds with one stone".
The 57-year-old, of Newport, was found guilty of two counts of paying a child for sex and not guilty of one count. He claimed there was no monetary agreement between him and the then 16-year-old victim and said she was 18 years old when they first slept together. Read his sentencing here.
James Rees
An off-duty soldier was rushed to hospital with a "life-threatening" stomach injury after being stabbed in a "revenge attack". James Rees knifed his victim in an alley in Holyhead after seeing him with his ex-girlfriend. The court heard Christopher Griffiths' Army career is now over after the attack.
Ryan Jones, Khan Hurford, and Ashleigh Bujega
A cocaine dealer's advice that the best way to smuggle drugs into a popular music festival was to "plug" them – conceal them in the rectum – was not met with great enthusiasm. Ryan Jones told the contact he too was taking drugs to the dance music event but had arranged for others to take them through security for him.
Jones was sourcing significant quantities of cocaine from "upstream" suppliers and distributing the drug to customers and to fellow dealers Hurford and Bujega for onward supply. Texts recovered from the trio's phones showed the contact between them and between them and their customers. At the time of the dealing Jones was on licence having just been released from a previous custodial sentence for peddling the Class A drug.
Habinder Baines and Liam Gonzalez
The drug dealers were found in possession of more than a kilo of cocaine and almost £28,000 in cash when they were approached by police in the street. The drugs were found hidden under a child's car seat and cushions.
Baines, 36, had travelled to Cardiff from Birmingham, at 7.15pm on March 27 and met up with Gonzalez, 35, in the Llanishen area of the city. Baines was standing in the road when the police arrived and Gonzalez was "shaken" and attempted to hide.
Jack Quarrell
When he was caught with a stash of £10,000 of cocaine he told the officers who arrested him that he was "shocked". Officers swooped on Quarrell after finding his details in the phones of fellow dealers.
Sending the 27-year-old to prison a judge said he had read character references on the defendant which heaped "fulsome praise" on him but it was clear there was "another side" to him which had been revealed by the police raid.
Alban Mema
A commercial-scale cannabis farm was found in a Swansea house after police officers from London descended on the city looking for a suspect. The person the National Crime Agency and Met Police were looking for was not in the property but the officers did find an illegal immigrant from Albania and a sophisticated £60,000 drug-growing operation.
Mema later told officers he had entered the UK in a small boat from France and, finding himself homeless and without money, his cousin back in Albania organised work for him in a cannabis operation. He said he had then been sent to Swansea and taught how to tend the cannabis crop.
Jason Taylor
The prison tutor infused sheets of paper, including court documents, with spice as part of a plan to smuggle the drug into the jail where he worked. Taylor was caught after prison officers noticed the "distinctive smell" of the synthetic cannabinoid on letters that arrived for inmates.
An investigation found that the sheets of paper came originally from the jail's own education department and had been posted by employability tutor Taylor. Sending the 53-year-old to prison for 32 months a judge said given the defendant's position he would have known that drugs hamper the safe running of prisons and are prohibited.
Andrew Lloyd
The paedophile made contact with a "child" a mere 30 minutes of being released from prison. Lloyd sent sexualised messages and an indecent image to the "girl".
However what Lloyd didn't know that he was actually speaking to someone from a paedophile hunter group. They traced him to a hotel in Flintshire before reporting him to police. Read his sentencing here.
Daniel Francis Thompson
More than 470 cannabis plants worth up to £400,000 were found hidden at a farm in north Wales when it was raided by police. On May 27, 2021, officers went to Ty'n y Celyn Farm in Llanfwrog, near Ruthin, with a search warrant.
Their view into the shed was blocked but inside they found a total of 474 cannabis plants. The prosecutor said the shed was over two storeys with several electricity circuit boards, artificial lighting, ventilation ducts, and a generator comprising a "professional and sophisticated" operation. Read Thompson's involvement here.
Robert Reynolds, Steven O'Connor, and Michael Brinsden
The Tesco thieves were part of an organised gang who targeted supermarkets across Swansea, Neath, and Port Talbot and got away with thousands of pounds of wines and spirits. The "brazen" gang repeatedly raided Tesco stores in Fforesftach, Pontardawe, Neath Abbey, Port Talbot, and Llansamlet in a spree of offending throughout the summer which netted almost £12,000-worth of alcohol.
Three of the thieves have been jailed for their part in the campaign and Swansea Crown Court heard that between them them the trio have pervious convictions for almost 400 offences. Sending the trio back to prison a judge told them they had made dishonesty their "life's work".
Andrew Meredith
He set fire to a communal living room with a butane gas canister after he fell out with his flatmate. He also caused damage to furniture after he broke into a flat by barging the door down.
The 46-year-old, of Caldicot, Monmouthshire, fell out with a man in a neighbouring room while they were both living in a two-storey council house with five bedrooms. The victim had been living in the flat for a year but Meredith began living there from January 2023.
A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court heard the two men did not get on from the outset and in the eyes of the defendant the victim "could not do anything right" and took issue with everything he did or said.
Joseph Callard
He subjected his partner to a catalogue of appalling physical and psychological abuse and wanted a "subordinate woman" with no opinions. Callard manipulated and controlled every aspect of his partner's life from what she watched on television to what she wore and also isolated her from her family and parents.
Sending the 33-year-old to prison a judge told Callard he was "wholly incapable" of respecting women. Swansea Crown Court heard the defendant has previously been given a lengthy custodial sentence for raping a child.
Gary Jones
The stalker who is obsessed with a someone who tried to help him get a job has been warned that if he continues harass the woman he faces prison sentences measured in "years".

Sending him back to prison a judge told him to leave the woman alone.
Daniel Minton
The "manipulative and predatory" man took indecent photos of a young girl in her swimsuit. Minton was described as "sexually preoccupied" and with little regard for sexual boundaries.
Swansea Crown Court heard the 44-year-old took the photographs of the schoolgirl in a hot tub at a location where the child had gone to drink alcohol and to "party" in 2021. Read his sentencing here.
Sakawat Hussain
The drink-driver crashed into a wall and parked car after failing to negotiate a 90-degree turn while he was being chased by police. Police could smell intoxicants when he got out of the car and detained him.
Hussain, 30, was driving a Hyundai i20 through Cardiff at 1.30am on October 12 when he drew the attention of the police. He was seen to exceed the 20mph limit and stopped beyond the stop line at traffic lights at the junction for City Road and Newport Road.
Jason Sultana
The customer threatened a staff member at Tesco after she looked at him and swung a rope with metal hooks before breaking £3,000 worth of windows. The incident was captured on CCTV which saw the attacker become enraged after he had been "shoved" out of the store.
Sultana, 42, was approached by a female staff member at a Tesco Express in Cardiff on October 19 when he was seen walking up and down the health beauty aisle with a large Ikea bag. He shouted aggressively at the woman: "What the f*** are you looking at you c***? I'll come back up and slit you up."
Paul Bryan
The murderer who assumed the identity of a dead man and travelled around Europe to evade justice for 39 years has been jailed for at least 24 years. Enforcer Bryan was 22 when he fatally stabbed 62-year-old Roman Szalajko in the stomach at his flat in Kennington, south London, in February 1984.
Afterwards he took on the identity of a dead Welshman with the same name and embarked on a new life in Portugal, Crete, Spain, and France. The Army reject and "fantasist" became a suspect when his fingerprints were identified from a bottle at the scene during a cold case review in 2013.
Leon Protheroe
The aspiring film producer turned to dealing drugs to fund the purchase of the expensive equipment he needed. Film studies graduate Leon Protheroe was caught after his details were found on phones seized by police during an unrelated drugs operation.
The dad-of-two's barrister described the defendant as "articulate, well-spoken, and not unintelligent" and said there must have been other ways he could have put his talents to use rather than by dealing Class A drugs. Sending Protheroe to prison a judge described drugs as a "scourge" that ruin lives and blight communities and he said it was clear the defendant had gone into dealing "purposefully" with the motivation to make money .
Connor Sainsbury
The drug dealer was believed to have been involved in the supply of 34kg of cannabis and 4kg of ketamine after police discovered messages on his phone. He was also found in possession of a collapsible baton when his home was raided.
Sainsbury, 21, of Caerphilly, was first visited by police at his home on September 28, 2022, over reports of a firearm offence. He was found in possession of a legal air rifle but a black iPhone was also seized which was found to contain numerous messages relating to drug dealing. Read his sentencing here.
Dean Ewers
The thug told his wife she was a "dead woman" after picking her up and strangling her which caused her to lose consciousness. He then went on to racially abuse a police officer during his arrest.
The 43-year-old, of Newport, had been out with his wife on June 3 and had been drinking heavily. When they returned home the defendant threw a phone at her causing a hot cup of tea to fall on her. She left the room to look at her phone and the defendant threatened to "kill her" if she called the police.
A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court heard Ewers pushed the victim to the floor then picked her up and began to strangle her causing her to lose consciousness. When she came round she begged the defendant to let her go but he repeatedly hit her head against a wall while continuing to hold his hands around her throat.
Peter MacKay
The abuser who pressed his shin onto his partner's neck was recorded during a phone call from prison telling his friend to offer her £2,000 to drop the charges. During their relationship he punched her hard in the arm and bit her when she tried to call the police.
MacKay, 43, of Glyncoch, near Pontypridd, had been in a relationship with the victim for two and a half years and had a catalogue of violent offences. He first assaulted her on October 14, 2022, during an argument when he punched her hard on her left arm causing a bruise.
Huw Turnell
A young girl feared she may be pregnant after Huw Turnell tried to rape her. After sexually assaulting the child the 62-year-old then tried to persuade her not to report the matter to the police.
In a statement read to Swansea Crown Court the mother of the girl described the emotional and psychological impact the abuse has had on her daughter. She said seeing what has happened to her child "has been a living a hell" and she said Turnell "has ruined her life".
Michael Pritchard
The dealer was caught with a stash of heroin and crack cocaine hidden in his underpants after plain-clothes police saw him carrying out a drugs transaction in the street. Pritchard was caught dealing in an area of Newport "frequented" by dealers and addicts.
Cardiff Crown Court heard the 42-year-old former motorways worker had a long-standing addiction to Class A drugs and, in desperation, turned to dealing to fund his own habit. His barrister said Pritchard knew the "catastrophic" effects of substance misuse having lost his own brother to drugs. | https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/locked-up-criminals-justice-caught-28357988 | 2024-01-01T04:32:52Z |

'Nothing Prepares You For It': The Volunteers Collecting Human Remains From Hamas Massacre
"We'd walk into a room full of blood and see no sign of shooting or bombing. There, Hamas terrorists didn't use a gun to kill their victims; they used an axe to chop them into pieces," said Simcha Greiniman, a volunteer emergency responder with the ZAKA organisation.

Tel Aviv [Israel], January 1 (ANI/TPS): "We'd walk into a room full of blood and see no sign of shooting or bombing. There, Hamas terrorists didn't use a gun to kill their victims; they used an axe to chop them into pieces," said Simcha Greiniman, a volunteer emergency responder with the ZAKA organisation. Since Hamas's Oct. 7 massacre of 1,200 people in Israel, 800 ZAKA volunteers have worked around the clock to recover the remains of the dead.
"I am there every day from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. to make sure that these families get the closure they need to properly mourn their loved ones," the 47 year-old Greiniman told the Tazpit Press Service. Founded in 1995, ZAKA deals with instances of unnatural death, and works in close cooperation with emergency services and security forces. Over 3,000 ZAKA volunteers are currently deployed cross the country, on call 24/7, to respond to terror attacks, accidents or natural disasters.
Greiniman has been volunteering for ZAKA for the past 32 years and oversees groups in charge of conducting Chesed Shel Emes, honoring the dead by bringing bodies to burial, which is considered one of the greatest commandments in Judaism. "In the Bible, there is a special need to make sure bodies get a proper burial and that no part, not even blood samples or small bones, are left behind," explained Greiniman.
As part of ZAKA International, Greiniman has volunteered both in Israel and overseas in scenarios ranging from natural disasters to accidents and terror attacks. In recent years, ZAKA International flew to Haiti, India, Turkey and Morocco. During the Sept. 11 terror attacks in New York City, Greiniman sat at the airport for two weeks waiting to get approval from the United States to assist emergency teams on site.
"This time, it happened in our backyard. Hundreds of people who supported Palestinians by giving them a place to work, taking them to hospitals, were massacred in their homes and captured into Gaza" on Oct. 7, said Greiniman. He recalled one instance in which he entered a house and on the living room table found a birthday cake.
"A cake is supposed to be something happy. But we didn't come to eat cake, we came to take care of bodies," said Greiniman. "My eyes went looking for pictures of the family who lived in that house and who should have been celebrating," he added.
Greiniman described a very strong smell of burnt flesh emanating from the house's safe room. When he turned on his flashlight upon entering the pitch-dark room, he found charred remains. "Everything was connected, glued together. At the top, there were three adult-sized skulls and at the bottom two small skulls attached," Greiniman told TPS. "They were burnt to death while hugging each other--it was extremely hard to take them apart."
Later, Greiniman deduced that these were the skulls of two children, their parents and grandmother, who all lived in the house. "When we took out the bodies, we had to walk by that cake every single time," he recalled.
He recalled another house which had been burnt to the ground on Oct. 7. In one of the rooms, the ceiling had collapsed and cement was covering the floor. "In the cement, I saw a lump. Underneath, there was a dead child who was about five years old," he said.
"In a separate room, I found the skull of another young child with the metal part of a hammer still attached to it. The wooden part of the hammer had burned [away]. Every house has a story," he added. Collecting human remains from a house into which Hamas terrorists lobbed grenades could take up to 18 hours, especially if more than one person had hidden in the same room, Greiniman explained. Once collected, the body parts are sent to a special morgue for DNA testing.
"Nothing prepares you for it," he said. "I have dealt with blown-up buses, restaurants, hotels and butchered synagogues, but seeing hundreds of bodies at a rave laying in a field... you can't ever train yourself to be ready for that," he continued, in reference to the Supernova Music Festival, where some 360 revelers were slaughtered on Oct. 7. Greiniman told TPS that he had been shocked to hear people deny Hamas's crimes against humanity, a phenomenon he chalked up to antisemitism.
To raise awareness of the massacres, Greiniman spoke at United Nations headquarters in New York City on Dec. 5. In 2005, the United Nations recognized ZAKA an international humanitarian organization, and in 2016, the U.N. Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations granted ZAKA Search and Rescue advisory status as an official body. "I was the one who took out the bodies; I could not let anyone deny these crimes, especially as a volunteer for ZAKA, which the U.N. officially recognizes," said Greiniman.
"I came into houses and saw women naked from their stomach down leaning over their own beds, with their hands tied behind their backs and bleeding from different areas," he said. "It if had happened anywhere else in the world, humanity would be screaming for justice," he added. "I invite whoever denies what we have dealt with to come and let me personally walk them around the scenes, show them what happened and where it happened," he added.
While ZAKA generally refrains from photographing the deceased out of respect for their privacy, Greiniman was told by his commanders after two days in the field to take pictures as evidence of the horror. Nearly three months after the attacks, ZAKA's work to identify the bodies is far from complete.
"Bodies were burned so badly that no bone marrow or teeth were left to cross-reference for DNA purposes," Greiniman explained. After 9/11, the U.S. built a special device to recover DNA from the ashes of the World Trade Center buildings. While Israel is working on a similar machine, ZAKA is currently sending samples to America to identify some remains.
"You can't give up. There are families who can't carry on living without knowing what happened to their loved ones, thinking they might be held in Gaza," said Greiniman. "We understand how important our work is for the Jewish nation and the Jewish people around the world. We are not going to stop until those bodies are in the right place and until those families are at peace knowing their loved ones are buried there." (ANI/TPS)

Achane rushed 14 times for 107 yards and secured four of five targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 56-19 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Achane led the Dolphins in rushing yards in the absence of Raheem Mostert (ankle/knee), outpacing backfield mate Jeff Wilson by 11 carries. The rookie also enjoyed a solid role in the passing game on the way to his fifth game with over 100 scrimmage yards. Achane could be poised for a critical role, whether or not Mostert is available, in Sunday's Week 18 home showdown against the Bills that will decide the AFC East title

9 injured in gas explosion in The Hague
At around 4 p.m. local time (1500 GMT) a gas explosion caused the collapse of a three-story building in the Jan van der Heijdenstraat in the Laakkwartier district. The front of the entire building was blown away.
Emergency services immediately rushed to the site and rescued three people from under the rubble. A fourth person is still buried but approachable.
Due to instability of the construction, the rescue operation must be carried out very carefully, according to a statement of the The Hague fire brigade.
For the time being there are no signs of more people trapped in the rubble. Of the nine injured, seven were taken to hospital. Residents of 20 homes in the area have been evacuated and are staying in a hotel for the night.

Okereke finished with 10 tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, in Sunday's Week 17 loss to the Rams.
Okereke led the Giants in stops Sunday, recording his eighth double-digit tackle effort of the season. He also tallied 1.5 sacks after coming into the contest with no sacks since 2021. Getting to the quarterback isn't a frequent part of his role, but Okereke has been a standout IDP option throughout his first season in New York, and he needs nine tackles in the team's regular-season finale to match his career-best mark of 151.

Israel works to increase use of alternative energies
For the first time in Israel, the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure allowed the establishment of energy companies in the local authorities. This is being done in order to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy.
- Country:
- Israel
Tel Aviv [Israel], January 1 (ANI/TPS): For the first time in Israel, the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure allowed the establishment of energy companies in the local authorities. This is being done in order to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy. In cooperation with companies from the private sector, according to the conditions to be determined by the Ministry of the Interior, joint energy corporations will allow local authorities that choose this option to speed up the installation of solar systems, storage facilities and charging stations for electric vehicles in their territories.
Also, the corporations will allow the local authorities to become more efficient in their energy consumption and manage it in a better way. This move will help them save on current expenses and channel them for the benefit of improving the service to the citizens, at the same time as reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The "Iron Swords" war highlighted the importance and especially the urgency of creating energy security, alongside the need to decentralise renewable energy production and storage.
This mechanism of establishing joint energy corporations will make it possible to accelerate energy security through a transition to sustainable energy--renewable energies, storage, electric vehicles and energy efficiency. All of these will improve the energy resilience of the local authorities, among other things, in essential facilities required for functional continuity during an emergency, such as emergency reception centres in public buildings and government buildings.

Abdullah sworn in as the new king of Malaysia
19:16, 31 January 2019
BANGKOK. KAZINFORM - The Sultan of Pahang, Tengku Abdullah, ascended the throne as the 16th king of Malaysia on Thursday after his predecessor, Sultan Muhammad V, suddenly abdicated earlier this month, EFE reports.
Abdullah, 59, took the charge to be the king - Malaysia's head of state - for the next five years at the National Palace in Kuala Lumpur, the official residence of the monarch. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/abdullah-sworn-in-as-the-new-king-of-malaysia_a3493764/ | 2024-01-01T04:32:59Z |
Even as a child Alun Lewis often thought about the mansion on the river. Engulfed by weeds the crumbling mess on the Cleddau at Landshipping in Pembrokeshire had been open to the elements long before the now 62-year-old was born in the village of Llangwm up the road. And yet he always knew that one day he’d like to buy it.
The house – originally built in 1750 and owned by the Owen family, who were coal agents – was inspired by Slebech Hall and Picton Castle which you can see across the river through the misty windows from the highest third-storey room where the rain is getting in through the unfinished roof. Unlike those far grander estates Big House at Landshipping fell into disrepair and has been a ruin since 1890.
When Alun bought it for £275,000 in 2000 he expected to be living in it by now but he admits his insistence on doing it all himself has probably set him back years. And yet he has no regrets. I can’t help but feel the father-of-three and engineer-cum-fisher, hunter, and forager who prides himself on living off the land is Wales’ answer to Bear Grylls and he loves his unique life on the four-acre estate where he lives next to the house in a camper van on the boggy riverbank alongside his chickens, pigs, ducks and four miniature horses.

“I’d known it all my life as a mass of trees and ivy,” he recalls, boiling a kettle on the roaring second-hand log burner in the rustic lounge with a high ceiling – one of two partly-finished rooms at Big House (the other a bedroom akin to something you’d find in a National Trust property). The fire is burning wood he’s taken from nearby forests while a lintel which sits above the log burner was part of a tree he discovered on the riverbed.
“It’s a bit different isn’t it?,” he says. “There’s nothing else like this place that I’ve seen before. Nothing is straight here. Nothing is square or tidy. It’s just what I’ve picked up along the way and it’s cost me nothing. A lot of it has taken me half an hour with a chainsaw.
“I couldn’t turn the house down when it came up. It felt right. I’m still at it 23 years later but I’m getting there slowly. It’s certainly been a long old project and everyone else says I’m mad for doing it but I think it’ll be worth it in the end. It’s the spot that makes it.”
Never in the camper for long, he’s often up at the crack of dawn “having a float” among the otters and kingfishers in the Cleddau which is yards from the house. “To be out on the water in the early hours of the morning, otters swimming around you, peace and quiet, it’s brilliant,” he said. “Pembrokeshire is special and the estuary is special. It’s more than just a big house. It’s not being overlooked, no traffic, no noise. What more could you want?”
His freezer is full of venison and boar he’s been hired to cull which he butchers himself as well as shellfish he’s caught in the river. “I’m paid to cull deer and boar and chop down trees so I eat some of the meat and use some of the timber. My costs are low. You haven’t got to earn a lot of money if you don’t need to spend anything have you? I don’t go to the supermarket often. We haven’t bought meat for donkey’s years but we live like kings here. The stuff I’ve caught I could sell for a fortune but I’m not about money.”
He points towards the window behind me to the greylag geese flying in formation over the water. “I put one of them in the freezer every other morning. I’ll have a float out to pick them up from the water but often I’ll just pick them off on the lawn.” “You shoot them?,” I ask. “Yes, all the time." "Do you ever miss?" "Everyone misses. Shotguns are hard. But a rifle is different. I could take your head off if you sat over there,” he nods to the fields outside. “It’s definitely a way of life. I have used a knife and a gun more than I’ve used a pen. I’ve only ever done what I’ve enjoyed and I’ve been bloody lucky."
For a man who says he likes a bit of peace quiet he’s had plenty of attention after he took the place on. After he invited Caroline Quentin to the house for an episode of Restoration Home in 2011 he was inundated with visitors who didn’t stop turning up for months. “It was completely nuts here,” he remembers. “There were hundreds of people here for weeks and weeks. If I had a hot dog van I’d have made a killing.”
He still gets emails from all over the world from people asking if they can come and look around. “I’ve had messages from the States, South America, Asia – all over. It’s been unbelievable. But I suppose if you stick your head above the parapet you have to be prepared to deal with what comes from it” he says. “A lot of the people who came were just nice people genuinely interested in the place.”
Eventually he plans to have a stunning nine-bedroom property – a luxury hideaway for him, his partner, and his kids should they choose to be there. As I carefully step across the beams on the third floor, trying not to look down through the cracks below, he explains why it’s taking him so long. “I do a bit when I’ve got the money and time. I’m not full-time on it because of all the other jobs I’m off doing. At the start it took a few years to get it all through planning even though all I wanted to do was restore it back to how it was. That set us back a lot. Luckily I could afford to sit on it and wait for a bit.”
Looking out towards the estuary, perhaps pondering another float, he doesn’t strike me as a man getting overly stressed about it. “I started off with nothing and I’ve still got most of it left,” he laughs. | https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/man-bought-ruined-welsh-mansion-28349489 | 2024-01-01T04:33:02Z |

Belton tallied two tackles (one solo) along with two interceptions and a fumble recovery in Sunday's loss to the Rams.
Belton got an extended opportunity to play as a result of Jason Pinnock exiting in the first quarter with a foot injury. Belton took advantage of the increased defensive snaps, notching his first two pickoffs of the campaign and adding a fumble recovery. If Pinnock remains out for next weekend's regular-season finale, Belton would likely be in line to start against Philadelphia. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/giants-dane-belton-nabs-two-ints-in-week-17-loss/ | 2024-01-01T04:33:05Z |

Goldberg Talks About The Differences Between WCW And WWE
WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg has detailed the major differences between working in WCW and WWE.
Goldberg was a recent guest on the "Steve & Captain Evil: The Podcast," where a fan asked him about how WCW and WWE were different. The veteran star claimed that WCW was "run by the inmates," whereas there was a need for a certain tact when dealing with Vince McMahon.
"The best way that I can describe is the WCW was run by the inmates. You got Kevin Nash, you got Scott Hall, you got Hulk Hogan, and on the other flipside of the coin you have the 800-pound gorilla whose name is Vince McMahon. As long as you go in to Vince and make sure every idea you have sounds like it came from his mouth, you're good," said the former WCW World Heavyweight Champion.
Goldberg added that he thoroughly enjoyed working in WCW, but some of his colleagues in the promotion weren't trustworthy.
"I had the time of my life in WCW, it was awesome, we were killing WWE, and it was like a small band of brothers against this big conglomerate. But a lot of those brothers were deceitful and villainous," said Goldberg.
The Hall of Famer made a name for himself in the pro wrestling business during his time in WCW, where he racked up one of the most impressive streaks in pro wrestling history. He eventually joined WWE and had a brief run before leaving in acrimonious circumstances, only to return over a decade later and have another short run. But, the former Universal Champion isn't pleased with how his recent run with WWE ended, as he was promised a retirement match by McMahon which he didn't end up getting. | https://www.wrestlinginc.com/1480882/goldberg-talks-differences-wcw-wwe/ | 2024-01-01T04:33:08Z |

The mid 1900s was a time of meteoric evolution and pioneering creativity in Hollywood, with directors such as Alfred Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, and Stanley Kubrick actively re-defining the cinematic experience. Elia Kazan firmly belongs in the same prestigious league of that group of filmmakers, contributing some of the most iconic and revered movies that the industry has ever seen.
After starting in theater direction, Kazan went on to make 26 films across a career spanning over 30 years, even winning two Academy Awards. However, his time in Hollywood was marred by controversy surrounding America’s anti-communist hearings of the time and his reluctant testimony linked to it. While it made Kazan a polarizing figure of his time, it hasn’t prevented his films from enduring as quintessential classics, with Letterboxd holding these 10 in high regard.
10 'Panic in the Streets' (1950)
Letterboxd Rating: 3.6/5
A captivating meshing of 50s crime pulp and sharp, intelligent writing, Panic in the Streets is an underrated noir gem which exhibits much of Kazan at his best. The societal thriller takes place in New Orleans as a dead body is revealed to have been suffering from pneumonic plague, with the mayor giving a doctor and the police captain just 48 hours to uncover where the dead man had come from before news of a potential outbreak is made public.
Recent years have obviously given the film an added heft when watched in the current day, but Panic in the Streets was already imbued with a gripping intensity and mystery intrigue which had aged flawlessly over the decades. The picture remains a critically lauded triumph of Kazan’s career and was recognized at the 23rd Academy Awards as it won an Oscar for its screenplay.
9 'Baby Doll' (1956)
Letterboxd Rating: 3.6/5
The only pure comedy that Elia Kazan directed throughout his film career, Baby Doll ran as a darkly funny character comedy adapted from producer Tennessee Williams’ own one-act stage play ‘27 Wagons Full of Cotton’. It follows an immature and naïve child bride who, while staving off her eager husband, begins flirting with an amorous Sicilian farmer who happens to be her husband’s business rival.
While an impressive film on account of its wit and the way it manipulates its love triangle dynamic throughout the story, it ultimately had a strong reliance on caricatures and exaggerated performances, something the cast rose to with aplomb. Despite being a contentious film upon release, even being condemned by the Catholic Legion of Decency, Baby Doll went on to be nominated for four Oscars and has aged surprisingly well given its central premise and comedy style.
8 'America America' (1963)
Letterboxd Rating: 3.8/5
With a stern focus on the fantastical dream of America in the eyes of immigrants, America America is a dramatic epic with a 174-minute runtime which excels at being both powerful and profound. Written, directed, and produced by Kazan, it follows a young Greek man living under Turkish oppression who makes immense personal sacrifices in the hope of fulfilling his dream and journeying to the United States of America.
The film was a deeply personal production for Kazan, based upon his own 1962 novel of the same name which was inspired by the life of his uncle. Working as the screenwriter, director, and producer of the film, Kazan himself received three Oscar nominations for the picture, while Gene Callahan won an Academy Award for his art direction. Martin Scorsese also considers it to be a particularly essential film about American democracy.
7 'Wild River' (1960)
Letterboxd Rating: 3.8/5
Striking in the depths it reaches in its exploration of the socio-economic shift in America, Wild River was a finely tuned drama which, for many, stands tall among Kazan’s finest films. Set in the South during the late 1930s, it follows a Tennessee Valley Authority bureaucrat tasked with evicting the stubborn 80-year-old matriarch of the river from her property as his office seeks to build a dam in the area, but he finds himself falling in love with the woman’s granddaughter in the process.
Shot almost entirely on location in Tennessee, the film’s visual display is astounding, offering a stupendous backdrop to the tragic tale of victims amid the rise of American industry. It benefits from Kazan’s narrative sensitivities as well, with the director’s ever-present focus on interpersonal relationships giving the film its beating heart and allowing the stellar cast plenty of opportunity to showcase their acting chops.
6 'Splendor in the Grass' (1961)
Letterboxd Rating: 3.8/5
It wouldn’t be unfair to say that Splendor in the Grass isn’t Elia Kazan’s greatest cinematic achievement. However, with the director exercising his keen interest in pushing the envelope in terms of what was appropriate to put on screen – especially as far as sexual content was concerned – the film has become a classic for its dare, its melodramatic and romantic allure, and its exploration of how humans, particularly youths, perceive sexual relationships.
Starring Natalie Wood and Warren Beaty in his debut performance, the film follows two teenage lovers who navigate their feelings and desires for one another as external pressure from their parents and small-town Kansas society jeopardizes the future of their romance. While critics at the time took issue with the film’s overly dramatized approach to its simple story, Splendor in the Grass has become one of Kazan’s most well-known and celebrated films.
5 'East of Eden' (1955)
Letterboxd Rating: 3.9/5
A bold adaptation of Jim Steinbeck’s epic 1952 novel, East of Eden is something of a crowning glory in the context of Elia Kazan’s career. Set in 1917, as the First World War rages on, a Californian farming family are wedged apart as Cal (James Dean), growing angry and despondent at his deeply religious father’s clear favoritism towards his elder brother Aron (Richard Davalos), makes a harrowing discovery about his thought-to-be-dead mother.
The powerful, picturesque beauty and compelling family drama are noteworthy elements of the film, but it would be remiss not to accredit much of its longevity and impact to Dean’s starring performance, which managed to be poignant and grounded while flaunting much of the reckless abandon that helped make him an icon of the times. Dean received a posthumous Oscar nomination for his performance, while Kazan received his fourth of five nominations for Best Director.
4 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn' (1945)
Letterboxd Rating: 3.9/5
While many directors have announced themselves emphatically from their first films, few have exercised the poise and power that Elia Kazan did with his directorial debut in 1945. Based on Betty Smith’s novel of the same name, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn follows Francie Nolan (Peggy Ann Carter), a young girl desperate to make it big in the world who lives with her plucky younger brother, her hard-working and devoted mother, and her kind-hearted, alcoholic father.
A poignant look at poverty in America, the film is a true tearjerker without being relentlessly bleak, as it finds so much of its emotional allure in the soft, tender moments of pure love which have made it such a timeless story. While Kazan was overlooked for an Oscar nomination, James Dunn won Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Francie’s father, while the picture was nominated for its adapted screenplay as well.
3 'A Streetcar Named Desire' (1951)
Letterboxd Rating: 4.0/5
While it is a picture which will always be remembered as the film which saw Marlon Brando become a huge Hollywood star, A Streetcar Named Desire truly stands up as one of the greatest films of the 20th century. An enthralling melodrama defined by its performances, it follows a schoolteacher from small-town Mississippi as she moves in with her sister and her husband in New Orleans, where her rambunctious presence further strains her sister’s already volatile marriage.
The film was based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name, with much of the talent involved, including Kazan as director, reprising their roles in the film adaptation. It became an instant classic, being nominated for a staggering 11 Academy Awards and winning four, and it has proven to be an enduring accomplishment of feverish intensity and great tragedy.
2 'A Face in the Crowd' (1957)
Letterboxd Rating: 4.2/5
A satire imbued with great dramatic heft and a relentless rage which boils throughout the picture, A Face in the Crowd is as observational and funny as it is politically scathing. It follows Larry “Lonesome” Rhodes (Andy Grffith), a charming drifter who becomes a radio star when an ambitious producer puts him on the air, but as his star grows, his ego, womanizing, and his endless pursuit of self-gain threaten his career.
Its tale of moral corruption in the face of opportunity and stardom has proven to be one of ceaseless relevance, with the film striking a timeless cynicism surrounding celebrity culture which is as rewarding as it is cautionary to watch unravel. With an impressive IMDb score and widespread critical acclaim (both now and in its time), few would dispute A Face in the Crowd being among Kazan’s greatest achievements, even if it did fail to garner Oscar recognition.
1 'On the Waterfront' (1954)
Letterboxd Rating: 4.2/5
A spellbinding reunion between Kazan and Brando which featured both stars at their absolute best, On the Waterfront is widely regarded to be one of the greatest films ever made. It focuses on the inner turmoil of a former prizefighter turned longshoreman who decides to stand against his corrupt and violent union bosses as he forms a bond with a murdered man’s sister and a street-savvy priest to hold the syndicate accountable for their crimes.
Brando’s starring performance was a watershed moment in the context of Hollywood history, with his portrayal of Terry Malloy regarded among the greatest performances of all time, while Kazan’s direction, even by his own lofty standards, was the best it had ever been. The 1954 masterpiece remains a true classic of all cinema, On the Waterfront went on to win eight Oscars from 11 nominations, with both Kazan and Brando receiving awards.
On the Waterfront
An ex-prize fighter turned New Jersey longshoreman struggles to stand up to his corrupt union bosses, including his older brother, as he starts to connect with the grieving sister of one of the syndicate's victims.

The NFL schedule for Week 18 is set.
The Eagles will face the Giants at MetLife Stadium at 4:25 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 7 in a game that will be televised on CBS.
The other NFC games scheduled to kick off at 4:25 are Cowboys-Commanders, Seahawks-Cardinals, Rams-49ers and Bears-Packers. The NFL is strategic about scheduling these games to make the final weekend of the season as competitive as possible.

The NFC East is still up for grabs entering next weekend. But after a brutal loss to the Cardinals on Sunday, the Eagles would need to win and have the Cowboys lose to the Commanders to win the division for a second straight season.
Here’s the full Week 18 schedule:
The Eagles punched their ticket to the playoffs a while ago but were unable to pull out a win on Sunday that would have kept them in control of the No. 2 seed in the conference. But they still have an opportunity to get it.
NFL
Basically, if the Eagles win and the Cowboys lose in Week 18, not only would the Eagles win the division but they’d also take the second seed in the conference, guaranteeing home field until the NFC Championship Game.
As of right now, the Eagles are the fifth seed. If they stay there, they’d travel to face the winner of the NFC South in the first round. Right now, that is looking like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who have a 69% chance to make the playoffs. If it’s not the Bucs, then it would be a trip to New Orleans to face the Saints.
The Eagles beat the Giants in a close 33-25 game in Week 16 and will have to face them on the road in Week 18. The Eagles opened as 6 1/2-point favorites, according to FanDuel.

Researchers at the University of Bonn examine the inner workings of machine learning applications in drug research.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been advancing rapidly, but its inner workings often remain obscure, characterized by a “black box” nature where the process of reaching conclusions is not visible. However, a significant breakthrough has been made by Prof. Dr. Jürgen Bajorath and his team, cheminformatics experts at the University of Bonn. They have devised a technique that uncovers the operational mechanisms of certain AI systems used in pharmaceutical research.
Surprisingly, their findings indicate that these AI models primarily rely on recalling existing data rather than learning specific chemical interactions for predicting the effectiveness of drugs. Their results have recently been published in Nature Machine Intelligence.
Which drug molecule is most effective? Researchers are feverishly searching for efficient active substances to combat diseases. These compounds often dock onto protein, which usually are enzymes or receptors that trigger a specific chain of physiological actions.
In some cases, certain molecules are also intended to block undesirable reactions in the body – such as an excessive inflammatory response. Given the abundance of available chemical compounds, at a first glance this research is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Drug discovery therefore attempts to use scientific models to predict which molecules will best dock to the respective target protein and bind strongly. These potential drug candidates are then investigated in more detail in experimental studies.
Since the advance of AI, drug discovery research has also been increasingly using machine learning applications. One such application, “Graph neural networks” (GNNs) provides one of several opportunities for such applications. They are adapted to predict, for example, how strongly a certain molecule binds to a target protein. To this end, GNN models are trained with graphs that represent complexes formed between proteins and chemical compounds (ligands).
Graphs generally consist of nodes representing objects and edges representing relationships between nodes. In graph representations of protein-ligand complexes, edges connect only protein or ligand nodes, representing their structures, respectively, or protein and ligand nodes, representing specific protein-ligand interactions.
“How GNNs arrive at their predictions is like a black box we can’t glimpse into,” says Prof. Dr. Jürgen Bajorath. The chemoinformatics researcher from the LIMES Institute at the University of Bonn, the Bonn-Aachen International Center for Information Technology (B-IT), and the Lamarr Institute for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Bonn, together with colleagues from Sapienza University in Rome, has analyzed in detail whether graph neural networks actually learn protein-ligand interactions to predict how strongly an active substance binds to a target protein.
How do the AI applications work?
The researchers analyzed a total of six different GNN architectures using their specially developed “EdgeSHAPer” method and a conceptually different methodology for comparison. These computer programs “screen” whether the GNNs learn the most important interactions between a compound and a protein and thereby predict the potency of the ligand, as intended and anticipated by researchers – or whether AI arrives at the predictions in other ways.
“The GNNs are very dependent on the data they are trained with,” says the first author of the study, PhD candidate Andrea Mastropietro from Sapienza University in Rome, who conducted a part of his doctoral research in Prof. Bajorath’s group in Bonn.
The scientists trained the six GNNs with graphs extracted from structures of protein-ligand complexes, for which the mode of action and binding strength of the compounds to their target proteins was already known from experiments. The trained GNNs were then tested on other complexes. The subsequent EdgeSHAPer analysis then made it possible to understand how the GNNs generated apparently promising predictions.
“If the GNNs do what they are expected to, they need to learn the interactions between the compound and target protein and the predictions should be determined by prioritizing specific interactions,” explains Prof. Bajorath. According to the research team’s analyses, however, the six GNNs essentially failed to do so. Most GNNs only learned a few protein-drug interactions and mainly focused on the ligands. Bajorath: “To predict the binding strength of a molecule to a target protein, the models mainly ‘remembered’ chemically similar molecules that they encountered during training and their binding data, regardless of the target protein. These learned chemical similarities then essentially determined the predictions.”
According to the scientists, this is largely reminiscent of the “Clever Hans effect”. This effect refers to a horse that could apparently count. How often Hans tapped his hoof was supposed to indicate the result of a calculation. As it turned out later, however, the horse was not able to calculate at all, but deduced expected results from nuances in the facial expressions and gestures of his companion.
What do these findings mean for drug discovery research? “It is generally not tenable that GNNs learn chemical interactions between active substances and proteins,” says the cheminformatics scientist. Their predictions are largely overrated because forecasts of equivalent quality can be made using chemical knowledge and simpler methods. However, the research also offers opportunities for AI. Two of the GNN-examined models displayed a clear tendency to learn more interactions when the potency of test compounds increased. “It’s worth taking a closer look here,” says Bajorath. Perhaps these GNNs could be further improved in the desired direction through modified representations and training techniques. However, the assumption that physical quantities can be learned on the basis of molecular graphs should generally be treated with caution. “AI is not black magic,” says Bajorath.
Even more light into the darkness of AI
In fact, he sees the previous open-access publication of EdgeSHAPer and other specially developed analysis tools as promising approaches to shed light on the black box of AI models. His team’s approach currently focuses on GNNs and new “chemical language models.”
“The development of methods for explaining predictions of complex models is an important area of AI research. There are also approaches for other network architectures such as language models that help to better understand how machine learning arrives at its results,” says Bajorath. He expects that exciting things will soon also happen in the field of “Explainable AI” at the Lamarr Institute, where he is a PI and Chair of AI in the Life Sciences.

Bellinger finished Sunday's loss to the Rams with four catches on four targets for 39 yards.
Darren Waller logged more targets (six), catches (five) and yards (51) than Bellinger, but the latter still had a reasonably productive performance. Bellinger's longest catch went for 18 yards, and he also had a 14-yard reception that he immediately followed with a nine-yard catch on the following play. Waller has undoubtedly been the better fantasy asset when healthy this season, but Bellinger has come on strong even with Waller able to suit up over the past two weeks, putting up an 8-82-0 line on nine targets. The Giants have little to play for in their season finale against Philadelphia next weekend, so the team could opt to relax the veteran Waller's workload, which could benefit Bellinger to some extent against a defense that has been middle-of-the-pack against tight ends this season.

The family of a young dad who killed himself weeks after being discharged by a mental health crisis team believe he was "never given the opportunity to get better". Kieran Crimmins, 21, was found dead by his family near their home in Milford Haven in the early hours of March 27, 2019.
A fortnight earlier, on March 5, it had been decided to discharge Kieran from the Hywel Dda Crisis team despite him having threatened to take his own life days earlier. An inquest into Kieran’s death, which lasted for five days in 2022, saw the health board issued with a Prevention of Future Death ruling with coroner Paul Bennett stating there were "numerous inconsistencies" in the care Kieran received in the weeks that led to his death.
Kieran’s parents Jonathan, 49, and Estelle Crimmins, 48, have decided to speak out about their devastating loss in the hope it will highlight the dangers of what they described as “substandard” mental health care. Jonathan, who has been diagnosed with severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) since the death of his son, said: “We don’t want Kieran to be just another statistic.

“We want his name to make a difference to other people’s lives by changing the way the system is. Individuals need to be held accountable. I personally want there to be a public inquiry into mental health services and the treatment of individuals.” The family described how Kieran had mental health difficulties ever since he was a child leading to a diagnosis of deficits in attention, motor, and perception at 10 years old. It was as early as this that his family noticed an absence in the support they believe he should have received.
Estelle said: “We were asking for help for him from the age of 10 and we were always met with: ‘You do not meet the criteria’. That was the answer every single time we asked for help [from] the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). We battled.”
She described how a delay in support after Kieran went missing and expressed suicidal thoughts saw the family having to pay for private therapy. Although the family said they would pay their “every last penny” to help their son,they said it showed a sheer lack of support from the public body specifically set up to help people like Kieran.
“We eventually got him in to have some therapy with CAMHS but that took five months from the time he went missing and left a note saying he was never coming back ‘as this world wasn’t for him’. It took five months for him to have that input and when he came to the end of the sessions – about six – he was just on the cusp of turning 18.”
When Kieran turned 18 Jonathan and Estelle said he was asked if he would like to be referred to the Bro Cerwyn mental health unit based in Haverfordwest. As a young man sensitive to the stigma of mental health Kieran’s family said he decided not to go. However, as Kieran’s mental ill health continued, he soon realised he desperately needed extra care.

By the age of 20 Kieran had taken himself into A&E on several occasions in the hope that he would get support for his negative thoughts but support “was never forthcoming”, Jonathan said. Estelle said Kieran was handed leaflets on how to manage his mental health but that they did not go far enough to help him.
She said: “I think that can help for some people to a certain extent but especially with males and people with learning difficulties, which Kieran did have as well as being dyslexic, they don’t help. He found reading very difficult so to give him a leaflet and say: 'Go home and read that' – it was never going to happen. He just wanted whatever was going on in his head to stop and he wanted someone to make it stop.”
Kieran’s parents said the lack of appropriate care for their son became most evident from November 2018. It was then that Kieran was diagnosed with PTSD following a fishing accident and had experienced the loss of several close friends and family members. “A number of things took their toll and he couldn’t cope anymore,” Estelle said. “In February he took an overdose and he wasn’t expecting to wake up but thankfully he did.”
The parents explained how that evening they went with Kieran to hospital where they claim they were initially told by the crisis team that a bed was available at Bro Cerwyn – much to their relief. However after speaking to a manager the crisis team came back to them and said they did not have a bed anymore. They were left with two options: either to stay in the A&E waiting room overnight or to take Kieran home.

The NHS offers help and advice through its 111 service.
Estelle said: “The crisis team said they would have him back the following dinnertime with the view to reassess and hopefully readmit him to Bro Cerwyn. Kieran assured us he would stay on the settee and not do anything to himself. We had to weigh up if we should stay at A&E all night waiting for a decision or go home to make him comfortable praying he would not do anything. We decided we needed to make him comfortable.”
The following day Kieran packed a bag to meet with psychiatrists and the crisis team at Bro Cerwyn. He, along with his family, hoped and assumed he would be admitted into the hospital since he had made a very serious attempt on his own life one day earlier. However this did not happen.
Estelle said: “During that meeting on Thursday, February 28, 2019, the psychiatrist asked me: ‘Why do you want him admitted?’ and I said, while shaking and crying: ‘Because I am petrified that in a minute he is going to succeed.' To which they said: ‘This isn’t the right place for him – we can’t guarantee we can keep him safe.'
“It was surreal to hear them say Bro Cerwyn wasn’t the correct place for him and that they couldn’t guarantee his safety even if he was admitted. They then said the crisis team would come out to the home every day for a fortnight. I thought: 'It’s not what we wanted but at least he would be able to speak to a professional every day for the next two weeks.'”
Again, Kieran’s parents alleged, this did not happen. Estelle recalled how the crisis team visited Kieran on the Friday but only called him on the Saturday. She said they told him they would not be available on Sunday and would next call him on Monday.
That Saturday night Estelle said Kieran went missing and sent his family messages expressing that he didn’t want to live anymore. Despite the crisis team knowing about this they discharged Kieran on Tuesday, she said.
“On Saturday night he had gone out and he hadn’t come home. I was frantic and calling him but there was no answer on his phone. I couldn’t get hold of him on social media and I was thinking the worst. I rang the police and they located him. They brought him home but within five minutes of him being home he left. I pleaded with him to stay home but he wouldn’t.
“We were messaging him [and] he said: ‘I can’t do it anymore’ with lots of crying emojis. When we found out [where] he was at 5.30am we got straight in the car and picked him up, brought him home, and sat down with him for ages and told him we would get him the help and it would be okay.
“The team came on Tuesday evening and I told them from the outset what had happened in the early hours of Sunday morning. I then left them in the room together they then came out and announced that they were discharging him. I was taken aback but they were professionals. They said if there were any issues to go back to A&E and that they would give him a gym membership because he liked going to the gym, so that he could use that to help his mental health, but that never came.”
Kieran’s last encounter with the mental health services came on March 6 when he had an appointment relating to his PTSD. He had been told that in order to start therapy for the condition he would need to complete an emotional coping skills course, Estelle said.
On that day Kieran attended what was called a “crisis kit” appointment. His family assumed this meant he would be provided with physical tools to help him cope when he was struggling but they claimed he came out with nothing. Just 20 days later Kieran sadly took his own life.
Jonathan said: “That night [Kieran’s younger sister] Katie received a message from [someone close to Kieran] so Estelle got hold of me and I came home. Estelle showed me an image that showed intent and I immediately went looking for him. Ultimately Katie and I found him. The things I had to do and the things Katie saw me do are things people should never have to do or see. I relive it every day. It happened about 400 yards from where we live and we have to pass there every day. I think that night he was in a dark place and I believe he felt he had gone to A&E and the crisis team so many times and he hadn’t received any realistic help that he thought: 'What’s the point?'”
Estelle added: “We feel devastation and a heartbreak that we never knew existed.. The realisation of waking up every morning to this being real. You see people walking down the street who remind you of him and it will take your breath away because they have the same stature or the same haircut. I just feel like one day he will walk through the door – even though I know it will never happen you have that glimmer that it will happen.”
Describing the profound impact Kieran’s death had on Katie the doting parents said: “Katie started her nursing degree 20 days before Kieran’s tragic passing. Nobody would have been surprised had she decided to not carry on. Not only did she carry on she battled through the next three years with grit and determination whilst bearing the immense weight of anxiety and PTSD. She completed her nursing degree with a first-class honours. We are in awe and so proud of her and we know that Kieran is smiling down upon her with his heart bursting with pride.”
It took three years for Kieran’s inquest to be heard, which was a painful process in itself for the family already grieving the loss of their son. The parents accepted that the delay was partly down to the pandemic but said there were a series of delays in the health board supplying documents to the coroner.
During the inquest Jonathan said further issues with Kieran’s care were revealed. He said: “In the inquest we found out that if the health board does not have a bed available they are supposed to go to the wider health board. If they don’t have one they are supposed to go to adjacent health boards and around the country. And if none of the health boards have a bed they are then supposed to seek beds from private facilities. They didn’t do any of it.”

Although Kieran’s family said they understand that health boards – along with their mental health services – are financially stretched they believe there is a lack of accountability taken when patients are failed. While nobody has been held responsible for Kieran’s lack of care the family said they will each be tormented by their pain and grief for the rest of their lives.
Paying tribute to his son Jonathan described him as a “huge part” of the family and someone who would “do anything for anyone”. He said: “He was a loving individual who would help anyone at the drop of a hat – especially with his grandparents and friends and neighbours around the crescent. If they needed someone to do something he would just offer – he wouldn’t wait to be asked. He loved his family dearly. He has a daughter who is now six and he absolutely doted over her. He called her 'My Princess'. We all love Kieran dearly and he has left a huge void in our life.”
Estelle added: “He had a beaming smile despite what was going on underneath. If you didn’t know what was going on underneath you wouldn’t have known. He just wanted to please everybody and he would give you his last penny because all he wanted to do was help people and make them smile. He just wanted to make people feel happy. I think because he was hurting he wanted everyone else to feel happy.”
Mandy Rayani, director of nursing, quality, and patient experience at Hywel Dda University Health Board, said: “Following the inquest into the death of Kieran Crimmins I am sorry that the coroner had cause to raise concerns with the health board. A Regulation 28 report in respect of concerns raised in the inquest has been sent to the coroner and I wish to reassure Mr Crimmins’ family that actions have been implemented by the service.“

Abe, Merkel agree to cooperate over free trade, security
"Japan and Germany will closely work together to maintain and strengthen a free and open economic system," Abe said in a joint press conference after their talks in Tokyo.
The meeting between the leaders of the world's third- and fourth-largest economies came on the heels of the entry into force Friday of a free trade agreement between Japan and the European Union, with Merkel saying the accord covering about a third of the global economy will "send an important signal to the world."
The two leaders said they agreed to support the development of self-driving car, artificial intelligence and other cutting-edge technologies.
As part of efforts to expand security cooperation, Abe and Merkel broadly agreed on a pact aimed at facilitating the exchange of classified information, including in the field of terrorism.
"This agreement will be helpful in cybersecurity cooperation as both our countries are facing the same challenges," Merkel said.
Japan has similar deals with Australia, Britain, France, India, Italy, South Korea, the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Abe and Merkel, who intends to step down as chancellor in 2021 after 16 years in power, also discussed regional issues, including China, North Korea and Russia.
"It is very significant that Japan and Germany agreed to work together toward the realization of a free and open Pacific," Abe said.
Merkel expressed concern over China's territorial ambitions in Asia, while stressing the need for working closely with Beijing in various areas.
On Russia, Abe explained his recent talks with President Vladimir Putin toward concluding a bilateral postwar peace treaty, but Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasutoshi Nishimura, who briefed reporters after the meeting, declined to elaborate further.
Britain's exit from the 28-member European Union, of which Germany is a leading member, was also one of the topics of their talks.
The shape of Brexit remains unclear, with Britain's House of Commons voting late last month to reopen negotiations with the regional bloc over the departure deal, under which the country is scheduled to leave the bloc on March 29.
In the news conference, Abe said he told Merkel that a no-deal divorce should be avoided as it would have a negative impact on the global economy, given that a number of Japanese companies are operating in Britain.
Merkel, who came to Japan for the first time in about three years, said Germany is making all-out efforts to avoid such an outcome and the issue will not advance without hearing from Britain what it wants.
They confirmed their cooperation for the success of a Group of 20 summit in late June in the western Japan city of Osaka, which Abe will chair and Merkel is likely to take part in.
On Tuesday, the German chancellor is scheduled to have an audience with Emperor Akihito, who will abdicate on April 30, and Crown Prince Naruhito, who will succeed him on May 1, before leaving Tokyo in the afternoon. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/abe-merkel-agree-to-cooperate-over-free-trade-security_a3495075/ | 2024-01-01T04:33:14Z |
