The 10 Best DC Animated Movie Universe Movies, Ranked
The DCAMU has produced plenty of great movies to rival their live-action counterparts.Arrowverse Shows Available on Netflix
'Arrow' (2012-2020)
A year before Man of Steel kickstarted the DCEU, The CW began its own connected universe in the unlikely launch vehicle that is Arrow. Following the vigilante career of a billionaire playboy who isn't named Bruce Wayne, the long-running series shows how Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) went from a spoiled rich kid into the noble crime fighter Green Arrow. The cinematic universe that Arrow created is called the Arrowverse for a reason, as Oliver Queen ends up being an integral part of the many shows that would spin off from the flagship series.
All eight seasons of Arrow are available to stream on Netflix.
Arrow
When presumed-dead billionaire playboy Oliver Queen returns home to Starling City after five years stranded on a remote island in the Pacific, he hides the changes the experience had on him, while secretly seeking reconciliation with his ex, Laurel. By day he picks up where he left off, playing the carefree philanderer he used to be, but at night he dons the alter ego of Arrow and works to right the wrongs of his family and restore the city to its former glory. Complicating his mission is Laurel's father, Detective Quentin Lance, who is determined to put the vigilante behind bars.

Clark Kent (Tyler Hoechlin) does exist in the Arrowverse, but Supergirl instead focuses on his cousin, Kara Danvers (Melissa Benoist), otherwise known as Kara Zor-El.

'Justice League' (2001-2004)
Beginning in 2001, the animated Justice League series is nothing short of legendary. Widely believed to be one of the best interpretations of the super team, the series unites Superman (George Newbern), Batman (Kevin Conroy), Wonder Woman (Susan Eisenberg), and many more. As they face threats both new and old, the teamwork this team of icons exhibits will be a match for even the most dangerous foes.

'The Batman' (2004-2008)
Not to be confused with the 2022 film of the same title (which is also available to watch on Netflix), The Batman is an underrated member of the many Bat-shows. It's arguably even darker than the legendary Batman: The Animated Series, and it comes complete with stylized animation that gives this version of Gotham City its own unique feel. As you would expect from any Batman story, there is a vast and expansive rogues' gallery of villains that Bruce Wayne (Rino Romano) faces in the show.
All five seasons of The Batman are available to stream on Netflix.

Gray rushed once for two yards and brought in his only target for six yards in Sunday's Week 17 loss to the Rams.
As usual, Saquon Barkley dominated work out of the backfield for New York, totaling 58 all-purpose yards on 15 touches. However, for the first time this season, veteran back Matt Breida didn't get a single touch, with the sparse leftovers behind Barkley going to Gray. That didn't lead to much production for the rookie, but it could be a precursor to Week 18, as the Giants have little to play for -- aside, perhaps, from a higher draft pick -- and could opt to give Gray a longer look against the Eagles at the expense of opportunities for Breida and perhaps even Barkley. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/giants-eric-gray-gets-first-carry-since-week-6/ | 2024-01-01T04:33:17Z |

Over 20 rockets fired at Israel in midnight barrage by Hamas
As Israel entered 2024 on Monday, more than 20 rockets were fired by Hamas at southern and central Israel just at the start of the new year, according to The Times of Israel.

- Israel
As Israel entered 2024 on Monday, more than 20 rockets were fired by Hamas at southern and central Israel just at the start of the new year, according to The Times of Israel. The Iron Dome missile defence system, however, intercepted the majority of them.
Sirens could be heard in several places around the nation, including in Ashdod, Sderot, and other southern cities, as well as in Rehovot, Ness Ziona, Holon, Lod, and Modiin, The Times of Israel reported. There haven't been any recorded injuries, according to the Magen David Adom ambulance service, as of yet.
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF), last week asked residents in many parts of central Gaza to leave immediately while its operations against Hamas continue, CNN reported. In a message posted in Arabic on X, the IDF urged residents in 15 identified blocks south of Wadi Gaza to move to shelters. The regions include the Al-Bureij refugee camp.
In its message, the IDF said people in the identified blocks "must immediately move to the shelters in Deir al-Balah. A temporary tactical local suspension of military activities will be imposed for humanitarian purposes in the southern neighbourhood of Deir al-Balah from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm for provisions purposes," CNN reported. The IDF urged people not to move along the central axis, the Salah Al-Din road, due to the fighting in the Khan Younis area of Gaza, according to a CNN report. It said, "The IDF will allow the humanitarian movement of civilians through the bypass axis west of Khan Younis."
Meanwhile, Israel Defence Forces (IDF) located and destroyed three terror tunnel shafts belonging to the Hamas terror organisation near the Rantisi Hospital and in the nearby High School on Wednesday. The tunnel shafts that the Hamas fighters used are dozens of metres deep and are linked by an underground network that runs beneath the hospital and into Gaza City. "IDF troops are uncovering Hamas' tunnels inside and around multiple hospitals within Gaza. The Rantisi Hospital is just another terrorist stronghold used to connect and transfer terrorists and weapons throughout Gaza to be used against Israelis," the IDF wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter), after recovering the tunnel.
In recent weeks, IDF soldiers led by the 162nd Division's 401st Brigade, in collaboration with Flotilla 13 and the 'Yahalom' Unit, discovered and searched three active tunnel shafts near Rantisi Hospital. 'Yahalom' soldiers searched the region, as well as, the shafts and tunnels, employing a variety of methods to map the topography of the tunnels and the linkages between the shafts. Notably, Yahalom is a sayeret unit of the Israeli Combat Engineering Corps of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF).
According to the IDF, this operation revealed that the shafts are connected by a wide underground network passing under the hospital, spanning several kilometres, and leading to strategic points in the heart of Gaza City. (ANI)

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."

TOKYO, Jan 01 (News On Japan) -
The sending of New Year cards in Japan over the last 45 years has dwindling to less than half, a historic low since the beginning of an annual survey.
Only 43.8% of a surveyed 400 office workers said they would send New Year's cards this season, marking the first time the number has fallen below half since the survey began in 1979, according to stationery giant Pilot.
The average number of New Year's cards sent remained the same as last year at 36 cards.
The peak year for sending New Year's cards was 2001, with 96.9% of respondents participating, a number that has now dropped to less than half.
The main reason for not sending cards was "using messaging apps like LINE instead," cited by 61.0% of respondents. The second most common reason was "preparation is bothersome" at 45.7%, followed by "using social media like Facebook or Instagram instead" at 32.7%, and "not having the habit of sending them" at 26.9%.
The most unwanted recipients of New Year's cards were "bosses or colleagues," with 44.3% of responses focusing on work-related contacts.
When asked if the tradition of sending New Year's cards is necessary in the future, 55.2% of the respondents answered "yes."

The Big Picture
- The finale of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom features a CGI baddie and actors like Martin Short.
- Martin Short plays the role of Kingfish, a gigantic fish who mimcs a Roman Emperor, surrounded by intimidating hammerhead shark bodyguards.
- Despite his brief appearance, Martin Short makes the most of the role and is featured in the closing credits.
Now come on, come all to this tragic affair…wipe off that Aquaman-themed makeup, what’s in is despair. “The End.” has come for the DC Extended Universe, with the send-off to this expansive multimedia franchise coming in the form of the sequel Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. A saga that encompassed everything from Wonder Woman strolling into No Man’s Land and comic accurate Starro to jars of urine and falling CGI babies is now finished. The Lost Kingdom doesn’t necessarily function as a finale to everything that came before it (no DCEU cameos or references to other movies), but some elements of the feature do feel extra humorous when considering this text as a DCEU send-off.
For instance, it’s quite fitting that the finale of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom would eventually boil down to a CGI baddie coated in dim colors, a fixture of this franchise (see: Steppenwolf, Ares, Doomsday). Nobody could’ve imagined that significance when they were writing this movie, but Lost Kingdom ended up encapsulating the weak digital foes that became punchlines in the DCEU. It’s also amusing which actors show up in the swan song for the DCEU, including Saturday Night Live veteran Martin Short. The leading man of Clifford got in just under the wire into this massive superhero franchise…but who did he play in this water bound superhero blockbuster?
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
Arthur must enlist the help of his half-brother Orm in order to protect Atlantis against Black Manta, who has unleashed a devastating weapon in his obsessive quest to avenge his father's death.

There’s Something Fishy About Martin Short in “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom”
In one of their earliest exploits together, Arthur Curry/Aquaman (Jason Momoa) and his recently released baddie half-brother Orm (Patrick Wilson) need information on the location of the nefarious Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Matteen II). To procure that knowledge, they’ll have to travel to the Sunken Citadel, an underwater realm full of baddies, pirates, thieves, and other unsavory characters. Orm is familiar with this place (hey, he was the villain of the first Aquaman after all!) but Aquaman is a lot more resistant to the idea. Still, the duo has no choice but to work together and get inside this shady locale. Upon immediately entering this place, the Sunken Citadel establishes itself as being an aquatic equivalent to Jabba’s Palace from Return of the Jedi, complete with stylized creatures breaking out in song as live entertainers.
Who is the Jabba of this location? Why, that would be Kingfish, a gigantic fish who behaves a bit like a classical Roman Emperor with his extravagant surroundings and lady servants attending to his every whim. Once he starts speaking, it’s clear that this is Martin Short’s role in the movie, with the actor putting on his smarmiest and cockiest voice to bring Kingfish to life. The incredibly confident Kingfish is surrounded by hammerhead shark bodyguards that look intimidating enough to be a legitimate threat to Aquaman. Thus, Kingfish is initially dubious of helping out this superhero…until Aquaman breaks free of the shackles and, with help from Orm, subdues those guards.
James Gunn's DCU Reset Was 'Aquaman 2's Biggest Challenge, Says James Wan
Jason Momoa will once again star as the ruler of Atlantis.Grabbing a nearby oxygen tank and helmet, Aquaman grabs Kingfish, places the helmet on his head, and proceeds to fill it up with oxygen that will prove deadly for this critter. At this point. Kingfish’s vocals take on an extra frantic quality that Short plays like a fiddle, he’s well-versed in doing voice work for characters that are constantly in the middle of an anxiety attack. Eventually, just before his fate is sealed, Kingfish divulges where Aquaman could possibly maybe find Black Manta. Our hero smashes the glass front of this helmet, thus allowing water to pour into Kingfish’s helmet, and he and Orm proceed to leave the Sunken Citadel behind. Kingfish never returns to the proceedings, nor is the Sunken Citadel referenced again.
With that, Martin Short’s stint in the DCEU is finished, though impressively, he does get a prominent credit in the closing credits. Short is credited alongside the film’s main cast complete with a state of Kingfish accompanying his name and is even the second-to-last name highlighted in the credits in a solo fashion, before the legendary Nicole Kidman! Typically in live-action blockbusters, actors who solely provide voice-over work get relegated to more obscure places in the end credits, so it’s a testament to Short’s enduring fame that he managed to get credited alongside Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’s live-action performers.
What Else Is Noteworthy About Martin Short’s “Aquaman” Role?
Despite Kingfish being on-screen for only minutes, Martin Short’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom role still offers up plenty of weird trivia details to talk about. For one thing, it’s interesting that Short’s presence in the film never leaked or got announced before this feature hit theaters. Compare this total surprise appearance to the endless speculation that surrounded tiny DCEU supporting roles inhabited by actors like Scoot McNairy and Ike Barinholtz in the past. Perhaps somebody in the Warner Bros. publicity department just didn’t want to deal with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom getting attached to endless clickbait pieces speculating whether Martin Short was playing The Fisherman!
Meanwhile, Short’s presence in the cast alone is intriguing since one-scene characters like these are often a prime spot for superhero movie directors to place actors they like working with. Just look at the various Bruce Campbell characters in the Sam Raimi Marvel movies or Nathan Fillion’s voice-work in the original Guardians of the Galaxy. By contrast, Short doesn’t have much of a connection (if any) to prior works directed and produced by Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom helmer James Wan. However, tackling Kingfish does fit in with Short’s penchant for providing voicework in major Hollywood movies, while he also previously provided a vocal turn as a CGI character in a live-action blockbuster in The Spiderwick Chronicles. Short’s career highlights made him an obvious choice to play Kingfish!
As for the character himself, he is, for all intents and purposes, a completely original character in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. There is a character from the Aquaman comics named King Fish, but his name is two words, not one, and he appears to be an entirely different character in personality and appearance. Kingfish is a rare foray into totally original characters for the DCEU, which often embrace even obscure pre-established comic book names to fill out the supporting casts of their various movies. It's not unprecedented for new people to show up in these movies (as seen by the Daughters of Atlas in Shazam! Fury of the Gods, who have roots in mythology but not the comics), but it is increasingly rare. Kingfish marks the last major original character to be introduced into the DC Extended Universe.
Normally, this is where one would dive into how Kingfish would potentially factor into future Aquaman adventures, but it’s doubtful such enterprises will come to fruition anytime soon. Momoa has been open about how his future as the character is looking murky and James Gunn’s full reboot of the DC movies is imminent. Kingfish almost certainly won’t be coming back for further big-screen exploits, making Martin Short’s big superhero movie appearance a one-and-done. It's just another awkward way Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom wraps up the DC Extended Universe by telling audiences "gather 'round, piggies, and kiss this goodbye...I'd encourage your smiles, I'll expect you won't cry."

About 56 mln in urgent need of food in 8 conflict zones
Yemen, South Sudan, Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Central African Republic are the five zones that experienced conflict-driven food insecurity the most in the latter part of 2018, according to the report.
The report was prepared by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) for the UN Security Council.
"The link between conflict and hunger remains all too persistent," it asserted, Anadolu Agency reported.
The other three conflict zones -- Somalia, Syria and Lake Chad Basin -- have seen improvements in food security in line with improvements in security.
The report, however, said a "major deterioration" is projected during the 2019 lean season across Lake Chad Basin.
The report "clearly demonstrates the impact of armed violence on the lives and livelihoods of millions of men, women, boys and girls caught up in conflict", said FAO director Jose Graziano da Silva.
WFP Executive Director David Beasley urged "better and quicker access in all conflict zones" in order to reach more people in need.
"But what the world needs most of all is an end to the wars," said Beasley.
The report also said that violence against humanitarian workers is on the rise, which has forced aid organizations to suspend their operations and deprive vulnerable populations of humanitarian assistance. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/about-56-mln-in-urgent-need-of-food-in-8-conflict-zones_a3492741/ | 2024-01-01T04:33:21Z |
When people are sent to prison it's expected that they will have certain liberties taken away from them in order to be punished for the crimes they have committed. Staff at prisons have an important function to make sure inmates are kept safe, rehabilitated, and are kept from breaking the rules of the prison.
But when relationships strike up between prisoners and prison staff, whatever their nature, it can cause immense issues with staff potentially being corrupted, exploited, or asked to carry out actions which may compromise security. In the most extreme cases physical relationships have been consummated in cells or a blind eye has been turned to inmates possessing contraband items such as mobile phones.
Here is a rundown of the prison staff who formed relationships with inmates in Welsh prisons. For the latest court reports, sign up to our crime newsletter here

Elyse Hibbs
Prison nurse Elyse Hibbs engaged in an "inappropriate relationship" with an inmate at a Welsh jail. Elyse Hibbs, from Manchester, admitted misconduct in a public office while working at HMP Parc in Bridgend.
The 25-year-old, who the court heard shared "flirtatious" calls and text messages with an inmate, said she was "manipulated" by the unnamed man and got in "too deep". The nurse began sobbing as she was sentenced to six months in prison at Cardiff Crown Court.
Hibbs had worked at the category B prison since September 2018 and met the inmate when she gave him medical treatment. After concerns were raised about the inmate's behaviour he was moved to HMP Manchester in May 2021.
A month later, in June, the inmate used his mother and a friend to track down Hibbs on Instagram. After Hibbs gave them her mobile number she and the inmate began having three-way calls which involved his friend "holding two phones together so that they could talk to each other".
Over the next five weeks and five days the inmate "nurtured" his relationship with Hibbs. They exchanged numerous text and calls – some of which were over the prison phone and recorded. The pair also spoke about how the inmate had an illegal mobile phone and the inmate's opinions about prison corruption.
Hibbs was arrested after investigators found Hibbs' phone number on his approved calls list for inmates. She pleaded guilty to misconduct in a public office.
Emily Watson
Emily Watson had a sexual relationship with drug dealer John McGee who was serving eight years at HMP Berwyn near Wrexham for causing death by dangerous driving after knocking and killing a man while he was trying to escape from police. Watson and McGee had sex in the inmate's cell on a number of occasions, including on Christmas Day, while they were in regular phone contact using a secret iPhone 6 the prisoner kept hidden inside a PlayStation games console and Watson sent him naked pictures and videos of herself.
The 26-year-old prison officer, of Jerusalem Road in Linthwaite, Huddersfield, was "naive" and believed herself to be in love with McGee. The defendant had come out of a long-term relationship at the time of the offending and said when she looked back she was appalled at what she had done and was acutely aware of the effect of her behaviour on the family of the man McGee killed. She was jailed for 12 months.
Ayshea Gunn
Ayshea Gunn was a probationary officer at HMP Berwyn when she began a relationship with armed robber Khuram Razaq. The pair exchanged “highly sexualised and pornographic” photographs, sent each other explicit sexual videos, and live-streamed footage of themselves engaging in sexual acts.
On one occasion 27-year-old Gunn smuggled a pair of knickers into prison for Razaq hidden inside her bra and when police searched her home they found photos of the pair kissing and hugging. Some of the images had been taken in Razaq's cell. She also bought clothes for the inmate and placed bets for him. Gunn, of Pant Glas, Johnstown, Wrexham, had also sent screenshots of prison officers’ WhatsApp chats to Razaq where her colleagues talked about issues including search tactics.
The defendant was remorseful and ashamed for what she had done and said it had happened during a period of her life when she was "at the bottom in her world" and "someone showed her affection and stupidly she accepted it". Gunn was sentenced to 12 months in prison.
Jennifer Gavan
Jennifer Gavan had a relationship with robber Alex Coxon at HMP Berwyn including kissing him, sending photos via WhatsApp, and accepting £150 to smuggle a mobile phone into the jail for him. The relationship had come at a particularly low point in the 27-year-old defendant's life when she had just come out of very lengthy relationship. The defendant was said to have self-esteem issues" and felt she had been "manipulated" into believing she was in a relationship with Coxon. She was jailed for eight months.
Gemma Brean
Gemma Brean's illicit relationship with a prisoner was revealed after the pair were pictured embracing on a sofa. She was a prison officer at HMP Prescoed when she started exchanging messages with a man serving five years for Class A drug offences.
Over a six-week period 39-year-old Brean exchanged messages and emails with prisoner Stuart Mark Davies whom she described as her "boyfriend". Cardiff Crown Court heard they were caught out when they met up while he was on home leave in October 2019.
The court heard the estranged wife of Davies was speaking to his mother and the two were having what was described as an ongoing "feud". The pair exchanged messages online and it was indicated that Davies had a "new girlfriend and he had moved on" and the ex-wife reported it to a probation officer. The probation officer then told the prison.
There was no evidence the relationship was sexual or resulted in anything else illicit happening. Brean admitted one count of misconduct in a public office and was sentenced to a four-month curfew.
Savannah Dean
Savannah Dean developed an inappropriate relationship with an inmate which involved sexualised phone calls, photographs, and messages. The 28-year-old was working as personal officer to the prisoner when the relationship between them developed as he was serving his jail term at HM Parc Prison in Bridgend.
The relationship between Dean and inmate Michael Wheeler lasted for several weeks between December 2018 and January 2019. The prison authorities were made aware she was becoming “over-friendly” with Wheeler. His cell was searched and a box was found containing notes, cards, and photographs from the defendant.
Their communication was “highly sexualised” with a reference to them kissing and discussing what else they wanted to do. A court heard their conversation became “heated” as she tried to end the relationship. Dean attended a voluntary interview and made full admissions, accepting she was going through a difficult time in her personal life and became close to the prisoner.
She was given a six-month prison sentence suspended for a year. The defendant was ordered to complete 80 hours of unpaid work and 14 days of rehabilitation activity.
Abigail Matthews
Abigail Matthews had a relationship with an inmate serving a lengthy jail term for burglary while her co-worker Sam Flower tried to cover it up. Matthews, who was responsible for the prisoner’s welfare, wrote him dozens of letters and made plans to move to London with him when he was released.
The court heard Matthews, 32, was working as a prison officer at HMP Usk along with friend and colleague Flower. Mark Rhodes was serving a “lengthy” sentence for burglary, having been jailed in November 2015. The defendant became his personal officer and went on to send him 30 and 40 letters expressing her desire to be with him. Their relationship developed and they would “meet up” and “chat about things”.
The pair talked about moving to London together when he was released and Matthews started applying for jobs with the Home Office. In one letter she told him she had read an article about a prison officer being punished for having a relationship with a prisoner and said she was “fearful” of the consequences.
Matthews went on holiday to Italy and contacted Rhodes’ brother on Facebook Messenger. She asked him not to report the matter to the prison but he made a complaint and an investigation was carried out. She contacted Flower while she was abroad and told him she had made a “big mistake” and asked him to help. He took Rhodes to phone his brother in a bid to persuade him to abandon the complaint and allowed him to use a phone in an office where calls could not be monitored. The defendants were each given an eight-month jail term, suspended for two years, and ordered to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work.

Hyatt caught three of four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's loss to the Rams.
After being shut out each of the past two weeks, Hyatt bounced back to some extent with his highest receiving yardage total since he exploded for 109 yards against New England in Week 12. It was still a modest performance for the rookie wideout, as he tied for fifth on the team in catches and ranked fifth in receiving yards. Hyatt will have a chance to put a positive final spin on his first NFL campaign next week in a home matchup against the Eagles.

Kimberlee Singler Colorado Springs fugitive mom arrested in the United Kingdom after killing her two children and wounding a third following bitter child custody dispute with her ex husband, Kevin Wentz.
A Colorado Springs mother accused of killing her two young children and wounding a third and then going on the run has been taken into the custody thousands of miles away in the United Kingdom.
Kimberlee Singler, 35, is wanted for alleged murder, attempted murder and child abuse. Earlier Sunday, Singler’s ex-husband Kevin Wentz identified the two dead children, 9-year-old Elianna ‘Elie’ Wentz and 7-year-old Aden Wentz.
Nearly two weeks after the original killings and a week after she was last seen or heard from, Singler was taken into police custody ‘without incident’ in the United Kingdom on Saturday.
Mom hatches plot to kill kids after realizing she was imminent in losing child custody case
Police had yet to say where in the UK the wanted mom was arrested
Colorado Springs Police Department announced more details would follow at a press conference yet to be scheduled.
The children’s murder comes amid a lengthy custody battle Singler was embroiled in with her ex-husband, and was just days away from losing the kids, the Denver Post reported.
Police, responding to a 911 report of a burglary at an apartment complex on the 5300 block of Palomino Ranch Point, in the northeast of the city, at around 12.30am on December 19, where they found Singler and her still-living daughter, 11, lying next to the bodies of her other daughter, nine, and son, seven.
At the time the mother claimed the family had been the victim of a home intruder. Upon further investigations Colorado police determined that the mother was the sole suspect and issued an arrest warrant for first degree murder among other charges. By the time authorities attempting to arrest the mother, Singler had by then already skipped town, leading to a manhunt for her whereabouts before her eventual arrest this weekend.
Child custody feud stemming from 2018 divorce
Kevin Wentz stated the children’s murder is related to his divorce to Singler, which dates back to September 2018.
Wentz claims that Singler made allegations of both domestic violence and child abuse against him, which a Larimer County court found unsubstantiated, with Wentz deemed not a threat to the kids.
The feud between the warring parents had continued well into 2023, however, as Singler obtained a Temporary Protection Order in El Paso County against Wentz after the mom alleging Wentz having brandished a knife at her.
Wentz denies the charge but the order stood until January 24 with an appeal hearing scheduled.
Back and forth wrangling and stonewalling
Singler filed another emergency motion in county court on November 17 to try and restrict Wentz’s parenting time based on those same allegations, but the court rescinded the order after they found there was no imminent threat.
Larimer County Court even ordered Singler to pay Wentz’s legal bills and give him makeup time to cover what he’d lost from the order.
Singler, Wentz claims, did not comply with those directives and did not bring the kids to Wentz on their scheduled December 16 exchange date.
Both he and his legal representatives tried to contact his ex-wife but got no response.
Wentz was granted an Emergency Motion for Law Enforcement Assistance to Enforce Parenting Time on December 18 and scheduled a Status Conference for two days later, ordering Singler to appear with the children.
But by December 19, two of the three children were dead.
The father states that he has cooperated fully with the police investigation into the killings.
On Sunday evening, Wentz celebrated Singler’s arrest in a Facebook post, writing: ‘She’s been found!!’
Singler is currently wanted on four counts of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder, three counts of child abuse and one count of assault.
A Colorado court has set a $10 million bond.
A Gofundme has been started to help raise funds for the surviving family. | https://scallywagandvagabond.com/2023/12/kimberly-singer-colorado-springs-mom-arrested-in-uk-after-child-custody-feud-with-kids-dad/ | 2024-01-01T04:33:23Z |

Terence Davies, who passed away in October, was one of the leading British writers and directors of the last four decades. Beginning with his debut trilogy of shorts in 1983, Davies crafted a distinctive and deeply personal body of work that frequently explores themes of memory and identity. One of his most notable projects is Distant Voices, Still Lives, a poignant and visually stunning exploration of family dynamics. Another gem in his filmography is The Long Day Closes, a beautifully nostalgic journey into the director's childhood.
Davies's work was also hugely shaped by literature. Several of his films were adaptations of classic novels, while others were biopics of renowned writers. He specialized in period pieces, often set in his hometown of Liverpool during the 1940s and '50s. Both stylistically inventive and psychologically astute, Davies forged his own cinematic path, largely rejecting the then-current trends in British filmmaking. His filmography is unique and rich, earning him the respect of fans on IMDb. These are Terence Davies' highest-rated movies on IMDb, a testament to his remarkable film legacy.
10 'The Deep Blue Sea' (2011)
IMDb: 6.2/10
The Deep Blue Sea (not to be confused with the horror about genetically enhanced sharks) is a drama set in post-war London, adapted from Terence Rattigan's play. Rachel Weisz is Hester Collyer, a woman trapped in a loveless marriage with a respectable judge, Sir William Collyer (Simon Russell Beale). She begins a passionate affair with a troubled and charismatic former Royal Air Force pilot, Freddie Page (Tom Hiddleston), who feels adrift now that the war is over.
Most of the action takes place over a single day, which Hester spends in Freddie's flat, contemplating suicide. Through flashbacks, viewers slowly come to understand the dynamics of Hester's marriage and her relationship with Freddie. The former is comfortable but deadening, the latter exciting but unstable. Fittingly, the title is taken from the phrase 'between the devil and the deep blue sea,' referring to two equally undesirable options. Weisz is compelling as a woman struggling to chart her course, carrying much of the film on her own.

9 'The Neon Bible' (1995)
IMDb: 6.2/10
The Neon Bible takes place in a small Southern town during the 1940s and centers on David (Jacob Tierney), a sensitive young boy grappling with the challenges of adolescence in a tumultuous world. His abusive father (Denis Leary) has gone off to fight in World War II, so David is raised by his distant mother (Diana Scarwid) and eccentric aunt Mae (Gena Rowlands). Throughout a train journey, David reflects on his life, which is marked by religious fervor, racial tensions, and societal upheaval.
David's lone means of escape is his vivid imagination, which the movie depicts through some creative and surreal scenes. Despite some intriguing moments, The Neon Bible unfolds at a languid pace, which is sure to try the patience of many viewers. This may explain why it was not so well-received on release. Davies has also expressed reservations about the movie. "The Neon Bible doesn't work, and that's entirely my fault," he has said. "The only thing I can say is that it's a transition work. And I couldn't have done The House of Mirth without it."
8 'Sunset Song' (2015)
IMDb: 6.4/10
Adapted from a classic novel, Sunset Song tells the story of Chris Guthrie (Agyness Deyn), a resilient young woman who looks after her father's (Peter Mullan) farm in Scotland in the early 20th century. Her father is a tyrant whose abuse leads Chris's mother to commit suicide, but Chris continues to care for him nevertheless. She also meets and marries a man named Ewan (Kevin Guthrie), but the breakout of the Great War disrupts their lives.
Sunset Song is harsh without being overwhelming, and the imagery is frequently beautiful. Cinematographer Michael McDonough captures the Scottish landscape in epic 65mm film, and it's a pleasure to behold. The visuals are complemented by a soundtrack full of period Scottish folk songs, which help to conjure a sense of time and place. Furthermore, Deyn's performance is incisive and profoundly compelling, making Chris an unforgettable character.
7 'A Quiet Passion' (2016)
IMDb: 6.5/10
"This is my letter to the world that never wrote to me." A Quiet Passion is a biopic about American poet Emily Dickinson (Cynthia Nixon), author of gems like "Hope" is the thing with feathers and Tell all the truth but tell it slant. It follows Dickinson from her school days to her reclusive adulthood, in which she wrote many poems that are now renowned but received little attention in her lifetime. The film is a detailed character study and an exquisite recreation of late 1800s Massachusetts.
Davies delves into Dickinson's relationships with her family and friends, highlighting her wit, intellect, and the challenges she faced as she carved her path in a restrictive society. He takes a poetic approach inspired by his subject's work. Nixon's performance is similarly stellar, playing Dickinson with richness and complexity, including her pensiveness, rage, and sometimes madness. It's a tremendous acting achievement, proving audiences often take Nixon's mighty talent for granted.
6 'Benediction' (2021)
IMDb: 6.7/10
"Why must you make bad things sound so beautiful?" Like A Quiet Passion, Benediction is a portrait of a writer, this time focusing on soldier and war poet Siegfried Sassoon. He served in the trenches of World War I and later wrote scathing poems critiquing what he saw as a misguided campaign. The film explores his stance against the war and his time spent in a psychiatric facility, as well as his relationships with several young men and eventual marriage to a woman.
Jack Lowden and Peter Capaldi, both fantastic performers who do a great job with the already impressive material, play Sassoon as a young and mature man, respectively. Benediction was Davies's final film and one of his most acclaimed, as Sassoon's story clearly resonated deeply with him. He paints a moving picture of the man, by turns tender and sad, and skillfully constructed, weaving in archival footage and narration of Sassoon's poems.
5 'The House of Mirth' (2000)
IMDb: 7.0/10
The House of Mirth is yet another adaptation of a classic work of literature, this time based on the novel by Pulitzer-winner Edith Wharton. Set in the opulent high society of early 20th-century New York, it tells the tragic tale of Lily Bart (Gillian Anderson), a beautiful and intelligent young woman trying to make her way through the complexities of societal expectations and financial constraints. Lily aspires to secure a prosperous marriage to maintain her social standing, but her choices lead her down a path of heartbreak and disillusionment.
As usual, Davies draws the most out of his actors. While perhaps a surprising casting choice, Anderson delivers a compelling performance as Lily, bringing depth and vulnerability to the character. The House of Mirth beautifully captures the luxurious yet suffocating world of the Gilded Age, where appearances are paramount, and morality is often sacrificed for social advancement. The social milieu depicted here is polite and mannered on the surface, but the smiles and careful words conceal harsh judgment and casual cruelty.
4 'Of Time and the City' (2008)
IMDb: 7.2/10
Of Time and the City, Davies's lone documentary feature, is a cinematic memoir of the director's hometown, Liverpool. Departing from traditional documentary styles, Davies combines archival footage, poetry, and personal narration to create a lyrical exploration of the city's transformation over the years. The film is a nostalgic journey, looking at Liverpool's working-class roots, the impact of postwar changes, and the influence of cultural shifts on the community.
Davies clearly combed through mountains of material to put this project together. The doc is assembled from thousands of clips from films, TV programs, and news bulletins, connected by a soundtrack of classical music and pop songs—The Beatles feature heavily, of course. Of Time and the City is deeply personal, the narrative guided by Davis' memories and reflections. However, in the process, it becomes a collective history, not just of Liverpool but of postwar Britain more broadly. The final product is a fantastic meditation on the weight of the past.
3 'The Long Day Closes' (1992)
IMDb: 7.3/10
Bud (Leigh McCormack) is a young boy from a Catholic working-class family growing up in postwar Liverpool. The Long Day Closes is a snapshot of his school and family life, marked by both joy and hardship. He's tormented by bullies on the playground and surrounded by bleakness, but the local cinema provides an escape. He spends hours there, allowing his imagination to run wild.
The Long Day's narrative is impressionistic rather than linear, zigzagging and looping around rather than unfolding chronologically. It's a mosaic of dreamlike sequences, intimate family moments, and snippets of popular culture. Taken together, they evoke that era with both nostalgia and dread. The Long Day clearly draws on Davies's own experiences as a kid in 1950s Liverpool, adding to its realism. Bud, with his artistic sensibility and feelings of alienation from the society around him, is Davies's most autobiographical character. Another highlight is the soundtrack, which prominently features songs by Nat King Cole.
2 'Distant Voices, Still Lives' (1988)
IMDb: 7.4/10
Distant Voices, Still Lives was Davies's first proper feature. It comprises two segments, each with the same cast playing different characters. The first focuses on a family in 1940s Liverpool living under a violent and hateful father (Peter Postlethwaite). The second follows the children in the 1950s as they try to make their own lives. It's a clear-eyed rather than rose-tinted look at the past, capturing the good as well as the bad.
As with The Long Day Closes, Distant Voices, Still Lives is personal and reflects its creator's childhood in this environment. Aesthetically, the film is bold and creative, making use of meticulously composed tableaux and extensive tracking shots. The soundtrack is also central here, serving as a way to connect seemingly disparate scenes. In this way, the film marked a break with the more realist British cinema that was dominant at the time. Distant Voices, Still Lives was highly acclaimed on release and has since appeared on some publications' lists of the greatest British films of all time.
1 'The Terence Davies Trilogy' (1983)
IMDb: 7.5/10
Davies's earliest work is emblematic of his filmography as a whole. This trilogy, made up of three short films, once again takes experiences from his youth and gives them cinematic life. In the first film, Children, Davies reflects on the innocence of childhood amidst the backdrop of a tight-knit Catholic community. Madonna and Child delves into the complex relationship between the director and his mother. The project concludes with Death and Transfiguration, a reflection on mortality and the impact of time on personal identity.
Davies completed the latter two shorts while at film school and showed them around festivals, where they won awards and went a long way toward igniting his career. The trilogy is shot in stark black-and-white, fitting for the often brutal subject matter. As ever, though, he balances out the unflinching content with gorgeous imagery and music, which makes even the mundane moments seem poetic.

Congo President Felix Tshisekedi re-elected for second term
Felix Tshisekedi, the president of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, was re-elected to a second term in a December 20 poll, with more than 73 per cent of the vote.
- Country:
- Congo
Felix Tshisekedi, the president of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, was re-elected to a second term in a December 20 poll with more than 73 per cent of the vote, the country's election commission, CENI, said on Sunday, according to CNN. The announcement of the results comes after the opposition complained about the election's procedures for several days.
Denis Kadima, the chairman of CENI, announced the results in the capital, Kinshasa. He stated that Tshisekedi had received more than 13 million votes out of a total of over 18 million legitimate ballots and that more than 43 per cent of voters had participated, according to CNN.
After Kadima declared Tshisekedi to be temporarily elected, the supporters of Tshisekedi who were there burst into cheers. Candidates, political parties, and individuals designated by them have two days to file a constitutional court appeal against the election results. After that, the court has seven days to make a decision and announce the outcome.
The frontrunner of the opposition, Moise Katumbi, who received 18 per cent of the vote, has already said that he would not file a lawsuit against CENI's findings, citing the purported lack of independence of state institutions, CNN reported. The other opposition candidates have not made it clear if they want to contest the outcome.
Nine opposition presidential candidates, including Katumbi, and six political party leaders called on supporters to demonstrate in the streets following the announcement of the preliminary results earlier on Sunday. (ANI)

ADB grant to help develop railways in CAREC countries
"Railways have an important role to play in helping CAREC countries move from landlocked to land-linked," said ADB Senior Transport Specialist Mr. Jurgen Sluijter. "Rail should be the mode of choice for trade in the region and yet railways struggle to compete against road transport. This grant will support the study and development of a regional rail system that is quick, efficient, accessible for customers, and easy to use throughout the region."
An increasing amount of freight traffic is carried by roads, costing CAREC economies more in the form of traffic congestion, road crashes, and road asset deterioration. Development of railways requires ways to prioritize investments, structure financing, and improve institutions. A regional railway system will enhance access to regional and international markets and help increase economic growth and social welfare.
The technical assistance will enable research on the railway transport market and develop a regional rail traffic model. It will also help identify and prepare priority bankable investment projects and train staff of railway agencies on how to prepare bankable projects. The technical assistance project will also strengthen knowledge in common areas such as financial restructuring, corporatization, marketing, asset management, interoperability, and railway safety.
CAREC countries are increasing their emphasis on railways for regional connectivity and have adopted the CAREC railway strategy up to 2030 to guide long-term development of railways.
The CAREC partnership comprises Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, the People's Republic of China, Georgia, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan-and six multilateral institutions. ADB has served as the CAREC Secretariat since 2001.
ADB is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty. Established in 1966, it is owned by 67 members-48 from the region. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/adb-grant-to-help-develop-railways-in-carec-countries_a3492278/ | 2024-01-01T04:33:28Z |
Crosby went 2-for-3 on field-goal tries and 1-for-2 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's Week 17 loss to the Rams.
Crosby hit a 31-yard field goal to end the first half and a 32-yarder early in the fourth quarter, but he couldn't come through on a much more challenging 54-yarder that could have won the game with 35 seconds remaining in the contest. That kick was necessitated in part by Crosby's missed extra point in the third period, as New York consequently trailed by one and opted to try to take the lead with a failed two-point conversion following a Gunner Olszewski 94-yard punt-return TD with 3:27 remaining in the game. Crosby's opportunity to kick has come as a result of Graham Gano (knee) and Randy Bullock (hamstring) landing on IR, and the former Packer has gone 3-for-4 on field-goal tries and 3-for-4 on extra-point attempts over the past two weeks. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/giants-mason-crosby-misses-potential-game-winning-fg/ | 2024-01-01T04:33:29Z |

Say hello to a whole year of WalesOnline Premium for less with our January offer. WalesOnline Premium has been discounted to £12 for 12 months (down from £19.99) - but for a limited time only.
You can get started by downloading our app here on iPhone or here on Android. The offer lasts until January 15.
What is WalesOnline Premium?
Readers have told us that when they come to WalesOnline for the latest news, features and rugby they would like a better user experience. So our response was to launch the WalesOnline Premium app.
The new app is free of disruptive adverts and offers a raft of new features, including five new puzzles and and direct access to our podcasts. Normally it costs £2.99 a month or a one-off annual payment of £19.99, but you can get it for less with our January offer.
You'll be supporting award-winning journalism while getting the best experience with no pop-ups or distractions. Dive into The Edit — a curation of the best reads selected by our newsdesk — and keep up to speed with The News Digest, a daily briefing giving you everything you need to know in a quick and concise way, updated during your morning coffee and once again during your lunch break. Our new puzzles include sudoku and crosswords.
Advertising is important to us. It's essential to pay our journalists and to keep our website free. But it’s also important to us that you enjoy visiting us - and that your experience of reading our pages is smooth and easy.
Why support our journalism?
WalesOnline prides itself on investigative and public interest journalism that makes a difference to the lives of people in Wales.
We exposed the inner workings of a direct sales firm in Cardiff whose workers go door to door trying to persuade people to set up direct debits to established UK charities. Working undercover and wearing a hidden camera, we revealed behaviour which left one of those charities appalled, an MP shocked, a fundraising firm describing the footage as “unbelievable” and a regulator saying it is assessing our evidence. As well as our written piece, we also produced an 18-minute documentary, which you can watch here.
In other powerful stories, we exposed the awful behind-the-scenes reality for employees and suppliers at one of Wales' highest-profile restaurants, which overworked them and didn't pay what they were owed. And we revealed the nightmare of a sexual abuse victim failed by the justice system. The CPS and a police force tried to prevent the story’s publication and later reopened their investigation as the result of our reporting.
In politics, we exclusively revealed the widespread discontent within Plaid Cymru at its culture and leadership, which ultimately led to its leader Adam Price’s resignation. Our reporting has kept the scandal of Wales receiving no HS2 funding at the top of the agenda as we repeatedly challenge Westminster leaders. The then-Chancellor abruptly ended an interview because of our questions and our work has been raised both in the Welsh Parliament and House of Commons.
No one in Wales covers court proceedings as comprehensively and thoroughly as WalesOnline. We have two reporters dedicated to reporting what goes in our courtrooms, covering high profile cases live. We follow up every case we can to give a fuller understanding of the impact of crime on its victims. We frequently overturn reporting restrictions on those responsible for crimes whose names and faces would otherwise remain hidden, such as a father who shook his baby so violently the little boy was permanently brain-damaged.
Further hard-hitting local exclusives have included the exposing of conditions at a care home forcing out residents as old as 104 after feeding them food described as "the cheapest of the cheap". And our investigation into cocaine use in Wales analysed data on drug use and spoke to former users, doctors, police officers and relatives of those who died after taking the drug to tell the story of a silent killer becoming seemingly impossible to stop.
We hope you'll continue to support our journalism and welcome your feedback on our new Premium app.

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

ADB issues first local currency bonds in Kazakhstan
The milestone dual-tranche transaction marks a series of firsts for ADB with a highly tailored structure adopted to mirror the terms of the underlying loans that are to be funded with the proceeds, a press release from ADB reads.
The final maturities of the bonds are five and seven years, with an early redemption "call" option from the third and fifth years, respectively. The bonds pay a floating interest rate linked to the Kazakhstan Consumer Price Index, the first time ADB adopts such a structure in either mainstream or local currency borrowing. Furthermore, the bonds were auctioned and listed on the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange and settled through the Kazakhstan Securities Depositary-a first domestic market transaction for ADB in the country.
"This is a landmark in ADB's strategy of delivering local currency funding solutions," said ADB Treasurer Mr. Pierre Van Peteghem. "We have generated digital results from these bond issues in terms of highly innovative structure, development impact on the domestic capital market, and currency risk mitigation for ADB's borrower."
While the bonds were fully placed with institutional investors in Kazakhstan, a hybrid approach was adopted by issuing and documenting the transaction under ADB's Global Medium-Term Note program and English law, a first for ADB in any developing member country. Tengri Capital acted as sole lead manager.
ADB is a regular borrower in mainstream international bond markets but has also led issuance in developing Asian countries as part of efforts to promote domestic bond markets as an alternative to bank lending. Overall, ADB raised more than $23.5 billion from the capital markets in 2018.
On 24 January 2019, ADB returned to the US dollar bond market with the pricing of a $3.5 billion 5-year global benchmark bond issue, proceeds of which will be part of ADB's ordinary capital resources.
ADB is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty. Established in 1966, it is owned by 67 members-48 from the region. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/adb-issues-first-local-currency-bonds-in-kazakhstan_a3492314/ | 2024-01-01T04:33:34Z |
McCloud recorded eight tackles (six solo) and forced a fumble in Sunday's loss to the Rams.
McCloud got the start at cornerback in place of Deonte Banks (shoulder), and he finished with his highest tackle total of the campaign. McCloud has logged more snaps on special teams than on defense this season, but he could start against the Eagles in the Giants' regular-season finale next weekend if Banks is unable to suit up again.

Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers had no issue whatsoever on Sunday night in Minneapolis.
Now, they hold their playoff fate in their own hands.
Love and the Packers rolled to a dominant 33-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday night to close out Week 17 of the season. The win kept Green Bay’s playoff hopes alive headed into next week’s finale in Wisconsin, where the Packers have to win to make it in.
The Packers got the jump on Sunday night, and took advantage of an early mistake from rookie quarterback Jalen Hall — who the Vikings opted to start in place of Nick Mullens this week. Hall, after going three-and-out on the opening drive, was picked off on just his second pass attempt of the game. That set up a perfectly-thrown 33-yard touchdown from Jordan Love to Jayden Reed, and gave the Packers an early 10-0 lead.

Then, after holding the Vikings to just a field goal, Love completed a diving 2-yard touchdown run to give Green Bay a 17-3 lead just before halftime.
The Packers then scored once more before halftime after Preston Smith forced a fumble in the final minute of the second quarter. Love hit Reed again in the middle of the field, and Reed broke up the left sideline and forced his way into the end zone for his second score of the game. That gave Green Bay a 23-3 lead at halftime.

Love went 14-of-21 for 180 yards and had three total touchdowns in the first half.
The Vikings benched Hall for Mullens in the second half, though that wasn't much better. He did lead the Vikings down into the red zone on his opening drive of the third quarter, but the Packers stopped them on fourth down and took over.
Love then mounted an eight-minute drive and hit a wide-open Bo Melton in the end zone, which put the Packers up 30-3. From there, the Vikings were way too far out of it. Green Bay held on to grab the 23-point win, which brought them back to .500 on the season.
Mullens went 13-of-22 for 113 yards and had a touchdown in the second half for the Vikings. Ty Chandler had 40 rushing yards on 10 carries, and Justin Jefferson led the team with 46 yards on three catches. The Vikings’ lone touchdown of the day came after Najee Thompson recovered a botched punt return to start the fourth quarter, which set up a 6-yard score to Johnny Mundt.
Love finished throwing 24-of-33 for 256 yards with three touchdowns. Aaron Jones had 121 rushing yards on 20 carries, and Melton had 105 yards on six catches. Reed had 89 receiving yards with his two touchdowns, but he was ruled out in the second half with a chest injury.
Packers need to beat Bears
Though the Detroit Lions have already won the NFC North, the Packers’ playoff hopes are still alive after Sunday night’s win. They now just have to beat the Chicago Bears next weekend at Lambeau Field to earn a wild-card spot, which would bring them back into the postseason for the fourth time in the last five seasons.
The Vikings weren’t eliminated from playoff contention, but their path to the postseason won’t be easy. They’ll have to beat the Lions, and then both the Packers and the Seahawks have to lose, and then either the Buccaneers or Saints have to lose, too.
The Bears have all-but been eliminated from the playoffs already. Everything would have to go right for them next week in order to make it in. They are, however, on a bit of a hot streak. The Bears have won four of their last five games, and are fresh off a dominant 37-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The only loss in that stretch was to the Cleveland Browns, where they fell by three points after a botched Hail Mary.
The Packers will enter that contest in Green Bay on a two-game win streak. While last week’s three-point win over the lowly Carolina Panthers likely didn’t do much to reassure fans, Sunday night’s dominant showing should certainly help. If the Packers lose, that opens the door for either the Seahawks or the Saints to sneak into the postseason.
Regardless, the Packers did what they needed to. They won't have to rely on anybody else. | https://www.k923orlando.com/news/national/jordan-love-packers/KUHQC24IIWZBTPXQOWZFDFXOMQ/ | 2024-01-01T04:33:35Z |
Preview: #9 Stanford WBB welcomes Morgan State to The Farm
On New Year’s Eve at 6:00 PM PT on Stanford Live Stream and Varsity Network Radio, #9 Stanford women’s basketball will welcome Morgan State to The Farm. Stanford comes in at 11-1 overall while Morgan State comes in at 4-9.
Last time out: On Friday, Stanford defeated Cal by a final score of 78-51. Talana Lepolo had a career-high 20 points for the Cardinal.
RECAP: #9 Stanford WBB outshines Cal in Berkeley
On Morgan State: The Bears are not off to a great start. They are 3-2 at home, but 0-6 on the road. They’ve also lost three games in a row. At #1 South Carolina, they got waxed 104-38. Just to give you a point of reference.
The Bears are led by graduate student forward Joelle Johnson, who is averaging 9.2 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. Sophomore guard Gabrielle Johnson is the number two scorer for the Bears with her 8.8 points per game.
As a team, the Bears are averaging 54.4 points per game on 34.1% shooting from the field, 23.9% shooting from 3-point range, and 72.7% shooting from the foul line. They average 32.8 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 12.7 steals, 2.5 blocks, and 16.8 turnovers per game. They also average a -4.8 rebound margin and a +4.6 turnover margin per game. Their opponents average 63.3 points per game on 44.3% shooting from the field, 38.5% shooting from 3-point range, and 68.7% shooting from the foul line.
Keys to the game: For Stanford, the first thing they need to do is make sure they are taking good shots and not having bad possessions. As long as they do that, they’ll be fine. Morgan State can’t expect this game to be close if they are playing a Stanford team that is playing clean.
Secondly, Stanford needs to take advantage of their size. Few teams have an answer for Kiki Iriafen and Cameron Brink inside and I don’t think Morgan State is one of those few teams. As long as Stanford gets those two going, they’ll win with little trouble.
Finally, Stanford needs to control the tempo. As long as they play at the pace they like, they’ll win going away. Pacing is always important and when you are the superior team, you gotta dictate that.
Prediction: I got Stanford winning big. 100-40. Morgan State isn’t good at the mid-major level. No reason to think they even keep this remotely close. Especially given that Stanford is coming off a dominant win at Cal.

In 2014, Russia's first attack against Ukraine was paused by the Minsk agreements, but the underlying issues were left for another day. Russia became tomorrow's problem.
Tomorrow always comes. The problem of Russia's imperialism didn't disappear in 2014, and to most eastern flankers it was clear that the next phase of the invasion would be costlier and deadlier. And so it was.
When Russia attacked again, the war suddenly became today’s problem. Again we think we can solve it by making it tomorrow’s problem.
But the premise has not changed. Russia’s imperialist revanchist ambitions will remain. The next phase would be directed not just against Ukraine, Georgia or Moldova but possibly against NATO. The price, human and economic, will only go up.
We could wait for what I have called the “Pearl Harbor effect”, a moment in history when the problems of tomorrow finally become the problems of today, but at an enormously inflated price. Or we could treat this as today’s problem and start solving it today.
We are on the verge of repeating historic mistakes. I am convinced that if we won’t defeat Russia now, that means our chosen path is to suffer unimaginable and unnecessary losses before we eventually decide it’s time to step up and win.
Russian politician Eduard Kolachyev:
My acquaintances in Belgorod are alive. Which is already good! The response for the attack on Ukraine has arrived. If anyone believes in a parade in Kyiv, I'll have to disappoint you. Resistance can take any form. It could last for years and decades. Ukraine is not Chechnya. And Chechnya is only loyal as long as there is Kadyrov and preferencial treatment. Russia was able to handle Chechnya. It will not be able to handle Ukraine. It's of a different scale. Everything is different. It's time to move on to realism and offer compromises. We must look for a way out and not only on the battlefield.
He's a brave man and he's not wrong
Can't tell the truth in Russia, you have to live in Putins imposed bubble of bullshit, poor guy will be on Putins kill list for this.
I hear he’s in the market for a ground floor apartment.
Trenches will be dug around his home so he could still fall to his death.
The New York Times
The Russian authorities said on Saturday that a Ukrainian attack on the city of Belgorod, near the border with Ukraine, had killed at least 14 people and injured more than 100 others.
They got Community noted
Readers added context they thought people might want to know.
The Russian Ministry of Defence claims that Belgorod was shelled with 2 Vilkha MLRS projectiles with cluster ammunition & RM-70 Vampire missiles (range 20 kms against 35km to the border of Ukraine).
The range of these weapons can't reach Belgorod from Ukraine.
Why the fuck would the times, or any credible publication, cover a military attack on Belgorod region by Ukraine yet never cover russia's regular MLRS shelling of Ukrainian hospitals and aid stations? Does this mark a new era where such things actually do get covered in the war?
NYT
Credible
Pick one
So many questionable things about NYT...
NYT removed all mentions of russia’s Dec 29 attack on Ukraine from the nytimes homepage. Even yesterday’s news piece is gone, leaving only the faux pas feature on russian ‘dissent’ — which continues to enjoy prominent placement.
https://twitter.com/stepantxt/status/1741044439458701534
NYT is covering Belgorod on front page.
Notice the tone shift:
• Attack ‘kills at least 14’, not ‘pounds city’ • Casualties emphasized in title • Photo now features people carrying a victim
Astonishingly, that photo is of 🇺🇦 victims in Zaporizhzhia — not Belgorod.
https://twitter.com/stepantxt/status/1741190257377214963
It’s hard to believe but @nytimes really is illustrating the Belgorod strike with a photo of victims of russian attack in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine.
BBC has the same story on the front page of their app.
Of course it also adds that the UN condemns both sides, ridiculous lot those folks are. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.
Czechia produces Grad missiles with 40km range. Good chance they came with the Vampires :)
Still makes the RU claim incorrect = false
"Russia needs to walk away with the understanding that they lost, that they will lose the next war. The Russian leader must end his gamble in Ukraine knowing "that economically they are ruined, we outlasted them, we kept our industry on a better footing, we have the technological advantage, we have better training, better morale; that they don't stand a chance."

Russian diplomats have hit a new low in their attempts to falsely brand Ukraine’s Jewish President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a Nazi. They are now inventing absurd stories about the Ukrainian leader purchasing Joseph Goebbels’s old villa.

Dezinformatsyia - Firehose of Falsehood at it again.
Statement by Deputy Political Coordinator Tom Phipps at the UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine.
President, the United Kingdom deeply regrets any civilian deaths in conflict, wherever they happen and particularly where children are involved. We are committed to upholding international humanitarian law and we remind all parties to conflicts everywhere of their obligations.
We are also committed to upholding the UN Charter, and its principles of respect for sovereignty and the right to self-defence. Yesterday, we discussed Russian airstrikes on civilians in Ukraine. Today, Russia has called this meeting to discuss Ukrainian strikes in Russia.
Russia is attempting to draw equivalence, but let’s be absolutely clear: there are hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers in Ukraine. There is not a single Ukrainian soldier in Russia. The war in Ukraine is an invasion started by Russia – a fact that no amount of disinformation can obscure.
President, first Russia blamed Ukraine for these strikes. Then it tried to demand Czechia appear before the Council. Now the Russian ambassador is blaming the UK, the US and the EU.
If Russia wants someone to blame for the deaths of Russians in this war, it should start with President Putin. President Putin is responsible for sending many thousands of Russian servicemen and women to their needless deaths.
In 2022, President Putin claimed his invasion was to stop a supposed genocide in the Donbas. The International Court of Justice rejected this and ordered Russia immediately to end its invasion.
Russia’s real objectives were revealed when it attempted the illegal annexation of further Ukrainian territory and the UN membership rejected this and repeatedly demanded Russia end its invasion and withdraw.
As we discussed yesterday, having failed to defeat Ukraine militarily, Russia has now turned to indiscriminate attacks on civilians. The death toll from this week’s attacks across Ukraine, the largest since the war started, continues to rise. Innocent children were among the casualties here too. In total, over 10,000 civilians, including more than 560 children, have been killed and over 18,500 have been injured in Ukraine since 24 February 2022.
President, Russia chose to start this war, Russia can choose to end this war; Ukraine did not start it and has the right to defend itself. This is why the UK reiterates that we stand resolutely with Ukraine and will continue to do so. So, we call once again on Russia to respect the UN Charter, to end this war and to withdraw its forces from Ukraine.
https://www.thedefensepost.com/2023/12/28/russian-jets-ukraine-f-16/
An interesting idea, haven't seen any discussion of it here. It's very possible Ukraine already has F-16s and are using them. And in particular, they were used to launch the strike on the Russian landing ship.
It really makes a lot of sense to deploy weapons unannounced to achieve the element of surprise.
Ukraine had absolutely no need to use f16s to launch storm shadows they could have used them as well to launch something else at the same time adding to the confusion that day but they didn’t.
I think we are seeing a shift in the information space. Previously we saw great fanfare whenever a new weapon system arrived. I don’t think that approach helped on the ground in Ukraine, although perhaps it helped politically to encourage other countries to supply weapons. Now it seems that less is being said publicly. This is a great step.
Whatever happened in Belgorod must’ve been really bad, based on the amount of shilling and nuclear threats I’ve been seeing. I wonder what they hit
Whatever happened in Belgorod must’ve been really bad
Impossible to know either way. Russia's response is not an indicator of good or bad results either way.
based on the amount of shilling and nuclear threats I’ve been seeing. I wonder what they hit
Russia would be trumping up dead Russian civilians to the same level no matter what, if anything, was hit of military value.
Could be more because they directly hit Russia proper rather than any special target or damages.
Honestly, I think it might just be on principle.
I think it being a reciprocal response to the other day is why they're so pissed. They are coming to realize that if they are going to bomb Ukraine indiscriminately Ukraine is going to respond in kind and hit actual targets of value.
To be fair Ukraine A) has the right to defend themselves and B) they did warn Russia retaliation strikes would happen.
So fair play by Ukraine and I am hoping for more
More importantly the Russian people are going to have to deal with the reality of being a warmongering dictatorship. As soon as they become more afraid of Ukraine than Putin, this war will end.
Indeed, it does feel exactly like that.
I can't help but wish US Democrats would just accept the damn funding for the Mexican border if that's what it would take to get support to Ukraine. Do I think the border stuff is neccessary or is gonna make any difference? No. But there are more important matters at stake. Surely the Democrats must realize the stability of Europe and democracy in the world will be more important for America, than what potentially losing some money on the border is.
Also, obviously a lot of swing voters want to see it happen. Perhaps if it's done it could end up reducing votes for Donald Trump in the election.
It's not about the border the horror doll Mike is holding the money hostage.wake up!
They have tried to accept it, the Republicans just keep moving the goalposts. Biden has accepted Republican border demands and then Johnson went on Xmas break without a vote on the package. This isn’t a problem of the Dems not negotiating or compromising it’s a clear issue of Republican house leadership actively opposing helping Ukraine. Their gameplan is simply to ask for more and more until it becomes untenable for the Dems then blaming them for not compromising. Again, Biden and Senate Dems already agreed to their border security budget demands but then the Rs in the house added a nebulous demand regarding mass deportations. The fact is that many in the House leadership want to deny Ukraine aid through a combination of denying Biden any sort of policy win and/or actively supporting Putin for essentially the same reason.
The democrats basically offered them everything a few months back. The Republicans moved the goalpost.
Why is it when Republicans intentionally hold up funding, y’all find some way to blame Democrats? This is why republicans are such shit. Y’all let them get away with and blame others.
The Democrats aren't blocking border funding, they want a strong border as well. The Republicans don't know exactly what they want for border security.
Ron Johnson has been bragging about torpedoing the process
https://www.newsweek.com/republican-brags-sabotaging-border-security-deal-1854820
Proof positive that Republicans don't give a rat's ass about the welfare of the country. The goal is to defeat progress of any kind, anywhere - and more importantly, make sure Biden won't get credit for anything.
It's not just about border funding. Part of the GOP demands are changing the rules on asylum seekers. If those rules are changed it would violate several treaties.
Yep. The initial proposal by Biden had increased border funding. If it was just more border security the GOP wanted it would be passed by now.
I can't help but wish US Democrats would just accept the damn funding for the Mexican border if that's what it would take to get support to Ukraine. Do I think the border stuff is neccessary or is gonna make any difference?
This has nothing to do with the border for either side. This is about power and who has it. New leader of the House GOP needs to make his mark so he puts up a big demand to show his power. Democrats can't just acquiesce or he'll just repeat it the next time with something else. So they haggle and negotiate until they can find something that works kinda. But it takes time, unfortunately.
We don't have time though. Each day that goes by will take many, many more days to repair damages that occurred because of the delays. Territory that is lost will cost lives to retake, and worse, makes Putin ever more convinced he is winning.
The West needs to wake up and realize that unless we want to accept Russia walking out of this with Russia's "goals" met, we need to make Russia lose the war. Not stalemate, but lose. This is bigger than throwing some money on the border and the world needs the Democrats to be the adults in the room if the Republicans aren't.
Why can't Mike just schedule a vote about aid to Ukraine then? The irony here is even beyond the definition of the word irony.
The solution with the "border" is to put the people that use the cheap labour behind bars.
The border and aid to Ukraine are not connected.
Jesus.. even me not from the US can see what kind of game that is being played here.
The US stands to lose a whole lot more if they let the GOP take the Democrats hostage at every opportunity. I share your frustration, but the situation is what it is, and the answer is not to cave to the demands of the GOP.
Regarding the missile/drone attack from Russia a couple days ago: Why is Russia wasting all these munitions and missiles on targets with no military significance?
Seems like a waste. It's only going to harden the resolve of Ukraine and the West.
$1.27 billion is the cost being estimated. A large portion of the military budget in 1 night to incur ? result. Ukrainian resolve boosted not lowered, military degraded no, world attention drawn for the wrong reasons. Putin wanted revenge, some kind of win to report and draw attention away from the catastrophic losses on the front trying to take tiny amounts of farmland and rubble, its a clear signal of Russian real intention and weakness.
They most likely targeted something of military importance or strategic targets like infrastructure. If they would attack civilians on purpose there would be more casualties (yes they did target civilians in some cases before).
The problem is that their stuff is not always that precise (some missiles that have terminal guidance that sometimes locks to wrong buildings or some missiles just miss ba a wide margin) and many missiles were shot down creating debris or the warhead comes down intact and explodes.
Regardless of the actual cause the civilian casualties and property damages would not exist if the missiles were not directed towards population centers.
Then their guidance is way worse than previously thought, most missed anything military in nature by a really long distance
How do you know what targets they are aiming at?
A factory in Kyiv that is producing parts for the military industry got hit.
The fact that we keep assuming that Russia is stupid is just making us downplay the importance of support for Ukraine, and not taking us closer to victory.
Why is Russia wasting all these munitions and missiles on targets with no military significance?
Because its Putin and Russia. Putin thinks someone stole his blinky, even though it was never his. Even when Ukraine was part of the USSR it was a defacto occupation. Any Ukrainian that doesn't want Russia subjugation is sub-human and not worthy of basic human rights.
Of course this is NOT my opinion, just kaPutin's view of the world.
Because Putin is so desperate for a victory blowing up regular old citizens is a way of show “Russia is doing something”
I mean look at their military victories in 2023….
Nothing nadda zilch zero fail on epic fails
Mainly political. They want to force Ukraine to pull their GBAD assets to the cities and away from the front line.
Hot take: they may actually be aiming (at least for the most part) for targets that have some kind of strategic purpose. Their stuff just sucks so they can't reliably get it on target (and if it gets knocked down, the debris will land semi-randomly). | https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/18u6dtt/rworldnews_live_thread_russian_invasion_of/ | 2024-01-01T04:33:35Z |

Dillon is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings after being diagnosed with a stinger, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Dillon suffered the injury in the third quarter and was spotted on the sideline rubbing his hand and wrist area. The exact nature of the issue is unclear, though with Aaron Jones leading the backfield effectively, Green Bay could opt to play it safe with Dillon. Prior to exiting, he had recorded seven carries for 27 yards.

While there are lots of wealthy people in Wales, some have taken it to extremes and have amassed fortunes in the billions over the years. Whether it be through businesses or family wealth, there are a handful of people who hail from the country whose fortunes just keep on growing.
Every year, the wealthiest people in the UK are ranked by The Sunday Times' rich list, which is compiled of the 350 richest people in Britain. In this year's edition, according to the magazine, there are 171 billionaires in the UK, which is down six from last year and is the first fall in 14 years. However, despite this drop, the billionaires are still worth in excess of a whopping £9bn between them, and range from internet investors to property moguls.
The extended list of 350 individuals and families together hold a combined wealth of £796.459 billion — a sum larger than the GDP of Switzerland. The list is based on identifiable wealth which includes land, property, other assets such as racehorses, and significant shares in public companies. It does not include bank accounts, to which the paper has no access to. It also includes family wealth.

Of the people on this year's list, eight of them are Welsh - including five billionaires. The people topping The Sunday Times Rich List for Wales this year are Sir Michael Moritz and Harriet Heyman. Moritz's wealth had grown by half a billion last year, taking his worth to £4bn. This year, however, it has gone down by £667m to £3.333bn.

Moritz joined Sequoia Capital in 1986 and made his billions by spotting the potential for Google, PayPal, Alibaba, WhatsApp, YouTube and a host of other tech giants ahead of anyone else. His £8m investment in Google peaked at £6.3bn.
The billionaire stepped down from running Silicon Valley-based Sequoia Capital in 2012 due to illness. Moritz and his wife set up a foundation called Crankstart, which is a foundation that helps support students from low-income families. In 2020, the foundation gave away $120m. It is thought that they give significant charitable donations with five percent of their current wealth given to good causes.

Their combined wealth is estimated at £1.566 billion - up £236 million. However, despite their fortune, the couple still live in the house they had in the 1980s.
The pair came up with the idea of making a visit to the opticians like going to a shop rather than going to the doctor's and turned the idea into a hugely profitable international business. You can read about Douglas Perkins' life growing up in Carmarthenshire here.

Source of wealth: Telecoms (Mltel)

While he is undoubtedly known for his role in making the Celtic Manor one of the UK's best known luxury resorts, he also made his fortune through other ventures.
North Wales Live reports that, having started work at 16 for BT’s research unit, he made his fortune from telecom infrastructure companies he went on to found. He sold Mitel to BT in the 1980s and Newbridge Networks to France’s Alcatel in 2000, in a deal worth around $7 billion at the time.

AIFC Committee launches 'Global Sandbox' Program
The Global Financial Innovation Network (GFIN) is a newly-formed alliance of 29 financial regulators and organisations including, Financial Conduct Authority of the UK, International Monetary Fund, World Bank Group and Astana Financial Services Authority, committed to: (1) collaborate and share experience of innovation in respective markets; (2) exchange of knowledge and lessons learned in RegTech related matters; (3) provide firms with an environment to test cross-border solutions.
The GFIN initiative on cross border testing would allow firms to simultaneously test innovative products, services or business models in multiple jurisdictions, including Kazakhstan, the United Kingdom, the USA, and other jurisdictions.
"We are pleased to be part of this initiative. GFIN will facilitate greater regulatory cooperation between the like-minded authorities to foster a sustainable global financial ecosystem. This network is an extension of AIFC's commitment to further facilitate cross-border financial activities in a fair, transparent and efficient manner" - said Asylbek Davletov, Chief FinTech Officer of the AFSA.
Firms wishing to participate testing must meet the application requirements of all the jurisdictions in which they would like to test. For example, a firm wishing to test in Kazakhstan, Australia, and Hong Kong must independently meet the eligibility criteria, and/or other relevant standards of the regulators of those jurisdictions.
Firms interested in applying to take part in the pilot cross border tests should review the list of participating regulators and submit an application before the 28 February 2019 deadline.
The Network has also published a Terms of Reference for the group and is encouraging other regulators and international organisations to join.
See more about the GFIN, member organisations and list of regulators supporting the pilot test.

PM Modi's third straight term at Centre 'almost an inevitability', declares column in leading UK daily
The hat-trick of victories in three state assemblies, combined with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's immense popularity and emotive issues such as the Ram Temple inauguration in Ayodhya, has made a third, straight term for the BJP at the Centre 'almost an inevitability', read a column in the UK-based daily, The Guardian.

- India
The hat-trick of victories in three state assemblies, combined with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's immense popularity and emotive issues such as the Ram Temple inauguration in Ayodhya, has made a third, straight term for the BJP at the Centre 'almost an inevitability', read a column in the UK-based daily, The Guardian. The column, by Hannah Ellis-Peterson, pointed to the saffron sweep in the three heartland states of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan have added more strength and momentum to the BJP going into the crucial Lok Sabha elections next year.
After assembly wins in three states, PM Modi himself didn't hold back from predicting that "this hat-trick has guaranteed the 2024 victory", the column noted. In India's current political landscape, the consensus among political analysts is that a win for Modi and the BJP is the "most plausible outcome", Ellis-Peterson added in her piece.
"The prime minister's popularity as a political strongman, alongside the BJP's Hindu nationalist agenda, continues to appeal to the large Hindu majority of the country, particularly in the populous Hindi belt of the north", the column read, adding, "At the state and national level, the apparatus of the country has been skewed heavily towards the BJP since Modi was elected (PM) in 2014". The column noted further that while the regional opposition to the BJP was strong in pockets of south and east India, nationally it is seen as 'fragmented and weak'.
"The main opposition -- Indian National Congress -- won the state election in Telangana this month but is in power in only three states overall and is perceived as "hierarchical and riddled with infighting", The Guardian reported. "The recently formed coalition of all major opposition parties -- which goes by the acronym INDIA -- is yet to unite on crucial issues, though it has vowed to fight the BJP collectively," the piece read further, adding, "The general sense is that a BJP win is almost an inevitability at this stage," said Neelanjan Sircar, a fellow at the Centre for Policy Research. "The question is more: what factors will shape the scale of the victory?"
Pointing to the BJP's 'nationwide pre-election push' -- 'Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra', the column stated that it features the deployment of 'thousands of government officers' to towns and villages across the country over the next two months, "tasked with speaking about the BJP's successes over the past nine years". The Ministry of Defence is also setting up 822 'selfie points' at war memorials, defence museums, railway stations and tourist attractions where people can take photos of themselves with a cutout of PM Modi, The Guardian reported.
"PM Modi rose to power in 2014 largely on the back of an anti-incumbency wave while his re-election victory in 2019 was all but secured after India carried out airstrikes on Pakistan, after a terrorist incident a few months before the polls, resulting in a storm of national security sentiment in his favour," wrote Ellis-Petersen. However, she added in her piece that it was 'unclear' if the BJP would be able to repeat its landslide mandate like 2019.
The party's position remains uncertain in the crucial states of Bihar and Maharashtra, the column noted, adding that issues such as 'jobs and inflation' could affect voting the pattern. "BJP's dominant victories in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh have reaffirmed PM Modi's popularity. Though (the) PM has little to do with state elections, which are designed to elect local assembly members, the BJP strategically put Modi front and centre of their campaigns in the place of local leaders, where he appeared at dozens of rallies to directly appeal to voters and present himself as the embodiment of the party," The Guardian column read further.
It added that "PM Modi's messaging in these campaign speeches combined an emphasis on the BJP's paternalistic welfare schemes along with (an) nationalistic agenda". The column commended PM Modi's "role in elevating India as a global power - be that in international politics or in the recent its moon landing in August".
On the grand opening of the Ram Temple by PM Modi on January 22, the column noted that it was "one of the biggest issues likely to dominate the BJP's agenda" before the general elections. The 'fanfare' around the inauguration of the temple later is expected to be a national event, the piece read.
The column quoted Baijayant Panda, the national vice president of the BJP, as saying that the party was very confident about its prospects for the Lok Sabha polls. He credited the confidence in part to 'the Modi premium', elaborating that the BJP tended to perform better in national than state elections because of the "stratospheric popularity" of Prime Minister Modi, according to The Guardian.
"On the ground, there's a huge surge of optimism, even in areas which we haven't traditionally won", Panda was quoted as saying in the report. "Having had this kind of victory in the state elections completely cements our position," he added.
Amid concerns by some detractors around a third term for PM Modi and what it portends for the country, Panda affirmed that it would be defined by economic success and India becoming the world's third-largest major economy. Pushing back against allegations of communalism against the BJP, Panda added, "I dare anyone to point out where a minority, whether a Muslim or a Christian or Buddhist or a Sikh has been discriminated against in the governance of India, you will not find a single example."

Five things I care about
The Ravens demonstrate their complete transformation
The Ravens took down the 49ers and Dolphins, two of the best operations in the league, by a combined 51 points in back-to-back weeks. They did it on the way to clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC and vaulting their quarterback to the driver’s seat of the MVP conversation.
Statement wins don’t even begin to do this justice.
As MVP chants rained down all afternoon, Lamar Jackson predictably didn’t engage much and took a “job’s not done” approach in postgame interviews. Jackson and everyone affiliated with the Ravens don’t have their eye on MVP trophies or Week 17 wins. They want the Super Bowl, plain and simple. However, he entertained queries about the differences between this year’s Ravens and previous editions.
After the game, Jackson told Evan Washburn of CBS, “This year our guys stayed locked in,” when comparing Sunday’s win to the last time Baltimore and Miami went to battle. In 2022, the Ravens controlled the game but let it slip away in the fourth quarter as the Dolphins fired vertical shots over the top of the typically stout Ravens defense. Jackson emphasized that this group knows how to finish, something they’ve struggled with in recent seasons. They’ve proven they're different by keeping their foot on the gas and putting away top-tier teams the last two weeks.
That’s not the only way this year’s Ravens are wildly different than previous renditions. You need only look back one year ago today to spot the contrast.
It’s been such a breath of fresh air to watch the Ravens offense this year stocked with actual playmakers. In Week 17 last season, their two most productive WRs each had just one catch for nine yards. pic.twitter.com/VkxHEvoTIQ
— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) December 31, 2023
Look at that box score from 2022's Week 17 loss and compare it with what you watched from the Ravens on Sunday. Lamar Jackson threw five touchdown passes and finished the game with a perfect 158.2 passer rating. The critical note: he activated multiple pass-catchers.
Zay Flowers finished the day with a mere three catches but those went for 106 yards and a score, the majority coming on a 75-yard deep shot with layers of YAC on top. Isaiah Likely scored twice, once on a 35-yard catch-and-run downfield play and another on a beautifully designed leak route near the goal line. Rashod Bateman and Jackson didn’t connect on a 40-plus-yard pass early in the game but the receiver put that behind him and finished with 54 yards and helped move the chains with consistent intermediate route running. Odell Beckham snared a contested catch on a go-route for 33 yards on his lone reception to move the team inside the five-yard line.
Even in the running back room, as Gus Edwards was thumping away, Justice Hill was a consistent source of big plays. He averaged 12.8 yards on his five catches and 16 yards on his three rush attempts. Not to mention a whopping 50.5 yards on his pair of kick returns.
The Ravens have never come close to being able to throw this many playmakers at an opponent. The 2022 Week 17 example is extreme but the lack of truly dangerous, much less multi-layered pass-catchers has haunted the Ravens with Lamar Jackson under center.
In one offseason, they’ve added some serious juice to the offense.
It’s important to note that, while guys like Flowers and Beckham are new faces, some of these players who are making a crucial impact are holdovers. That’s where the coaching change comes in. All of these players are being deployed in a unit with the ruthlessly creative Todd Monken at the controls. If the contrast in juice didn’t catch your eye, the night-and-day difference in the play design certainly should.
Awesome play design on this one https://t.co/IQ11jBstvr
— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) December 31, 2023
As Jackson alluded, the job isn’t done. But as this Baltimore team marches toward their desired goals, they can do so with the confidence that they have the goods that older models didn't possess. They have all the makings of a great, modern NFL offense as they prepare for a postseason run. We don’t know how this journey will end for the 2023 Ravens but we know they’re far better prepared for the road than ever before.
The 49ers take care of business
The team that fell to the Ravens last week was able to shake off their Christmas day letdown in Week 17. The 49ers should beat a floundering Commanders team that was forced into starting the quarterback they tried to bench by double digits — and that’s precisely what they did.
As the defense created chaos on their side, Brock Purdy checked in with all his usual efficient marks. He averaged 8.2 yards per attempt and completed 78.6% of his passes. Purdy consistently connected with his top wideout, Brandon Aiyuk. A Washington defense that can’t cover a soul yet still rolls out more man-to-man than almost anyone in the league was always a plus matchup for Aiyuk.
Yet, it was the nature of their plays that mattered. Aiyuk made catches on out-breaking patterns, in tight coverage on go-routes and put the cherry on top with an improvisational touchdown when Purdy went into creation mode.
So many top-tier plays from Brandon Aiyuk today it’s hard to narrow it down to the best one but this improv play where he and Purdy go into creation mode to get a big window is pretty sweet
— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) December 31, 2023
pic.twitter.com/nuUUs0IHYY
These types of plays simply weren’t present in pre-Purdy iterations of the 49ers offense.
The win did come at something of a cost, as so many fantasy managers are ready to tell you. Typically, I don’t feel bad for gamers when their RB1 touches the ball 18 times and records 91 total yards. When that player is Christian McCaffrey, I’ll allow a small touch of pity.
McCaffrey suffered what was announced as a calf injury in the second half of this game. Elijah Mitchell came in and ultimately helped close this thing out. He's one of the best backup runners in the league. There's no real replacing of McCaffrey and that will certainly be true when the competition gets much tougher than the Commanders.
That’s what makes wrapping up the NFC’s top seed in Week 17 so important, thanks to this win and a stunning Eagles loss. While McCaffrey’s fantasy season is over, his and the 49ers’ real pursuit of glory is just beginning. With the top seed all wrapped up, they can place McCaffrey on ice next week right before the whole team gets a bye during the Wild Card round. We should all — outside of fans of other NFC teams — be rooting for his total health, because as the Aiyuk-to-Purdy connection reminded us on Sunday, this offense is something we just haven’t seen before during a 49ers postseason run.
Jayden Reed
One of my favorite wide receiver prospects from the 2023 NFL Draft was now-Packers rookie, Jayden Reed. Sunday Night Football was just another example in a season’s worth of evidence for why I was so high on Reed. He’s quietly one of the most dynamic players in yet another great rookie class.
Jayden Reed isn't going to be a slot-only player for the Packers@MattHarmon_BYB on Reed's potential ceiling as a high impact player pic.twitter.com/mwYwl2bjd9
— Reception Perception (@RecepPerception) August 25, 2023
Jordan Love’s first pass of the game was a deep shot to Reed. It wasn’t the first time he looked for Reed in the vertical game as the two would later connect on a 33-yard post route. The more Reed shines in the deep game, the better off this Packers offense is. The best part of Reed’s game is that he’s multi-faceted. He can win on big-boy routes against press coverage (as the video above shows) but the Packers are comfortable working him in on designer plays underneath. His second touchdown of the day came on an explosive run-after-catch play after he ran a gorgeous route against man coverage.
I often said during the draft process that Reed was one or two tweaks away from being a high-level starting wide receiver. There are still some kinks Reed needs to work out in the contested-catch game but otherwise, as a separator and runner after the catch, Reed has made those leaps I wanted to see.
The Packers have drafted a lot of skill-position players the last two years. All of them look like they will be useful-to-very-good players in the league. With Jordan Love looking like a quality starter, we should be interested in all of them at different levels.
I said it when he was drafted and I’ll say it again: Reed will be the best of the bunch.
My only negative note from Reed’s rookie season is that he’s been dealing with many nagging injuries this season. He missed the second half of this SNF game after re-aggravating a chest injury he’s been nursing since Week 12. Part of Reed’s appeal is that he’ll handle the dirty work underneath and in the YAC game in addition to his special teams contribution. He’s going to take punishment in those areas. Hopefully, the Packers can work out how to keep him healthy for the long term and allow him to shine fully.
Jayden Reed has superstar potential. Plain and simple. He has the route chops, explosive ability and open-field instincts to be a deadly playmaker. Reed and Love’s connection is perfectly emblematic of the Packers' hyper-fast rebirth on offense. He will be right at the top of my fantasy targets for next season.
Rams cap off an all-time fantasy waiver run
In Week 17, the Los Angeles Rams locked up an NFC playoff berth and they couldn’t have done it without the impact of two unlikely young heroes. Kyren Williams ends the fantasy football season as the RB4 in Yahoo standard scoring in just two games (RB2 in points per game) and Puka Nacua finishes as the WR6.
You were a big-time winner if you went hard at them after Week 1 on waivers.
The Kyren Williams demolition tour, half-point PPR:
— scott pianowski (@scott_pianowski) December 31, 2023
- RB7, RB4, RB26, RB3, RB30, RB2. Missed four games.
- RB1, RB9, RB18, RB5, RB11, RB1 (in progress).
Not everyone could have drafted McCaffrey. Anyone could have FAABed Williams. Most impactful universally-available move.
This is purely anecdotal, but I ran into three to four teams in my own fantasy playoff runs that had both Kyren Williams and Puka Nacua. I talked to multiple people who were facing the same type of squad while giving advice. It wasn't an utterly unseen stack. Imagine getting two elite-level difference-makers off the waiver wire.
That’s one way to push for a championship.
We might never see a situation like this again where two players from the same offense come off the waiver wire and finish as top-10 players. We can still learn two things here, however.
For one, if you can identify the value offense in fantasy football in the offseason, you gain a big edge. The Rams were not often discussed as this type of team but with a veteran high-end quarterback fully healthy in Matthew Stafford to elevate young playmakers and an elite-tier play-caller, they were a fantastic candidate.
Secondly, it pays to be aggressive with your FAAB early in the season. With the rest of the season waiting, it can be hard to blow it all right away. You know there will be some adds you can't even consider making down the line. However, we get some of our most valuable and most surprising revelations in Week 1. If you can adequately react to the correct information, you'll find true difference-makers worth unloading the wallet for early on. Those who went hard for Nacua and Williams are proof positive of profitable early aggression.
Mason Rudolph has been enough
Look, I said many stupid things about the ceiling of the Steelers offense. I overlooked a lot of potential pitfalls for the unit but it was because there was serious talent in the wide receiver and running back rooms. Those takes didn’t age well.
But I had no idea that Mason Rudolph was the guy we needed to get the offense unlocked.
I’m being a bit sarcastic, but there’s no denying that Rudolph has given the Steelers their most productive play behind center in 2023.
Games with 250+ passing yards this season
— Underdog NFL (@Underdog__NFL) December 31, 2023
Mason Rudolph: 2-of-2 starts
Kenny Pickett: 1-of-12 starts
Rudolph has a passer rating north of 100 in back-to-back games. But more importantly, he’s been far more (wisely) aggressive than either of his predecessors.
In Week 17, Rudolph had a 2.8 time to throw and averaged 8.0 air yards per pass attempt. He’s willing to stand in under pressure and fire the ball downfield. George Pickens has come alive in the last two weeks. He recorded another 131 yards after taking over the game in Week 16. Even the customarily target-constricted Diontae Johnson hauled in multiple deep receptions against Seattle.
While I don’t think Rudolph is anything close to the answer for Pittsburgh’s future questions at quarterback, I at least owe him an apology for completely writing him off. He’s shined a light on the mercurial talent in this receiver room by simply giving them accurate chances downfield. At the very least, he’s served as a reason to be in on these wideouts again in 2024 if the Steelers are serious about upgrading the offensive coordinator and quarterback spot. For that reason alone, he’s been enough.
Five things I don’t care about
Previously-held limitations on CeeDee Lamb
Prior to 2023, there had been a general sense of “wanting more” from CeeDee Lamb’s statistical output. As this season winds to a close, those sentiments are ancient history.
On Saturday, he put on a complete and utter show against an overmatched Lions secondary. By the time the game ended, Lamb had locked up his spot as the Cowboys franchise leader in receptions (122) and receiving yards (1,651). He’s currently the top-scoring wideout in fantasy football.
Lamb was one of the right answers.
I have folks asking me if he should be in the Justin Jefferson tier in dynasty fantasy football — and even ranked ahead of the Vikings wideout. If you don’t play in that format, the gravity of that sentence may not hit but essentially Jefferson’s place atop the receiver rankings was nearly untouchable. Maybe I’m being a prisoner of the moment but I think it’s worth a conversation.
Lamb has more than graduated into the elite tier of NFL wide receivers. He’s among the best in the game and is a spectacular separator against every form of coverage at every level. Unlike Jefferson, I know for sure who will be throwing him the ball next season and can project his partnership with Dak Prescott for multiple seasons to come.
Final note on this: CeeDee Lamb made noise after the 49ers loss, stating that he wasn't getting enough work. It's hard to remember now but this Cowboys offense was not making him the focal point of the passing game to start the season and the on-field product was suffering. It was clearly an issue and the receiver called it out. His opportunity was not in line with his ability. Targets aren't just earned — they need to be assigned and Dallas wasn't doing a good enough job there. It was easy to see.
Said a lot of dumb things this season, I say a lot of dumb things every season, but charting CeeDee Lamb today and I feel really good about calling for the Cowboys offense to revolve around CeeDee right before Week 6...when they did exactly that and went on a tear. It was so… https://t.co/ila2y8pUeo
— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) December 12, 2023
So let this serve as a reminder when we want to criticize receivers for making noise about their lack of opportunity. Sometimes, these guys are right and they can help their team win by getting more work. That’s especially true when said receiver is an obvious stone-cold baller who is almost always open like CeeDee Lamb. What an incredible season for the fourth-year receiver.
The Eagles' talent
A few weeks ago, in this very same column, my stance on the Eagles was that even if they were playing below their record while beating subpar teams, they’d eventually be fine because they have better players than most of their opponents.
At this point, my stance has well since changed.
The warning signs have been building for weeks. A Week 17 loss to the now 4-12 Cardinals that dramatically helps their NFC rivals sounds the panic alarms.
The Eagles offense had their moments. Jalen Hurts tossed three touchdowns, including two to Julio Jones. They had an efficient day on the ground in a plus matchup. But they weren't perfect; they haven't been on that side of the ball all season. We know that's a massive issue for the Eagles at this stage of their season because the defense gives this team zero margin for error.
Kyler Murray became just the latest quarterback to tear apart the Eagles' pass defense. His 116.7 passer rating was easily his best since returning to the NFL field in early November. He hadn’t completed over 67% of his throws in any game. He checked in with 80.6% in Week 17. Murray had gone under 6.5 yards per attempt in all of his previous four games. The Eagles afforded him a 7.5 average.
Murray and the Cardinals found this level of passing success without their No. 1 receiver in Marquise Brown and their breakout tight end recording just 48 yards on seven targets. Eight Cardinals caught a pass against the Eagles. They could burn this defense in any such way.
Again, none of this is new. The Eagles' pass defense has been an issue all year long. The more troubling part is that the run defense has completely fallen apart as the season comes to a close.
James Conner became the latest bell-cow back to barrel through this front seven. He took his 26 carries for 128 yards and a score. Even backup running back Michael Carter averaged a whopping 8.7 yards per carry. The Eagles employ many proven veterans and several highly drafted players in the front four. And yet it was Arizona that controlled the line of scrimmage.
The Eagles defense is beyond a problem. It’s a key part of their identity and a crippling factor in their disappointing season. The offense has to cover for it and nothing that side of the ball has shown this season over the last two months gives you faith they can be that dominant of a group. And with No. 2 receiver DeVonta Smith leaving the game on crutches in a walking boot, that assignment is only going to get more complicated if he has to miss time.
Talent can trump all when that talent is available and playing to the height of its power. That just hasn’t been true of the 2023 Philadelphia Eagles.
Bucs offense when they’re off-script
Of course, the week I made a big deal about Baker Mayfield being my biggest miss of the 2023 season on the podcast, the Bucs laid an egg against an inferior Saints team at home. That said, I don’t think this offense is the biggest concern around this team. That would be the defense.
The Bucs can still win the NFC South if they merely beat the lowly Panthers next week. They should get the job done and overall, are still the best option to represent this division in the postseason. They have the most intriguing ceiling when the offense is cooking. There’s just next to no shot anyone can take them seriously against playoff-level competition with that defense.
Even if the Cowboys and Eagles, the two teams they’d likely face in Round 1 of the postseason, have their issues, both teams have the skill-position talent to rip apart that defense. Maybe with the serious concerns the Eagles are facing with their own stop unit the Bucs would have a chance to win in a shootout but it’s a stretch.
This Week 17 result was a reminder that when you can push the Tampa Bay offense behind the action by multiple scores in negative game script, you won’t get their best in return. Turnover creeps into Mayfield's game and what’s starting to develop into a solid run game with Rachaad White becomes irrelevant.
Justin Fields’ flaws
Justin Fields is not perfect. Anyone can see that. He takes too many sacks and isn’t always perfectly in rhythm in the underneath passing game.
I care about those flaws, but not enough to dissuade a quarterback-needy team that isn't in a position to take a top rookie prospect from a pursuit of the soon-to-be former Bears passer.
With the Panthers' loss today, Chicago officially netted the first overall pick in the draft. It’s nothing short of a coup to acquire a future first and for that pick to become the top selection. Twists of fate don’t always bend to this level of fortune. The Bears know that and will likely cash in that lottery ticket to restart the quarterback clock. Fields is a known commodity and the rookies are not but the upside of Caleb Williams or Drake Maye will be too enticing to pass up.
That will put Fields on the move and they can get a decent return for him. Sam Darnold was once traded for a future second-round pick and additional selections. This would be a similar type of swap out for young quarterbacks but Fields has been much better than Darnold was in New York to start his career.
Fields appears to be ending the 2023 season on a high note. As Week 17 comes to a close, he is second behind only Lamar Jackson in quarterback rushing yards despite only playing 12 games, and more importantly, he vaulted DJ Moore to a career season. Moore sits at 1,300 yards receiving and nine total scores, both career-high marks. Fields and Moore were excellent at slicing apart man coverage, an excellent signal for the passers’ future endeavors.
Fields isn’t the picture-perfect franchise solution for his next team but he’s some level of an answer. There will be teams out there that aren’t in range for a difference-making rookie who should come calling on Fields. Some of those teams will actually offer superior offensive line play, offense-centric coaching staffs and perhaps a deep set of wide receivers — the Bears got next to nothing from anyone beyond Moore — than what Fields experienced in Chicago.
The Jaguars win
I shouldn’t be so hard on Jacksonville. I often say that blowout wins can tell us something and great teams demolish bad teams. Well, the Jaguars indeed swept away the Panthers with relative ease. However, I’m not sure beating a team this deep into chaos, where their owner apparently throws drinks into a crowd, moves me much.
This video appears to show Panthers owner David Tepper throwing the contents of a drinking cup in the direction of (presumably) a Jaguars fan today. This is shocking. https://t.co/xv3du6hJlp
— Jonathan Jones (@jjones9) December 31, 2023
Any good vibes Carolina enjoyed last week in an upset win while Bryce Young put up career-best passing numbers were quickly wiped away this week. Even if Jacksonville’s offense struggled to move the ball, the Panthers just went nowhere on their side. They officially sent the No. 1 overall pick to the Chicago Bears with Sunday’s result.
The Jaguars were able to get a big play out of the run game with Travis Etienne Jr. on a 62-yard touchdown scamper. That was a welcome sign for a team that’s struggled to run the ball for months. The run blocking has been a mess at times but much like the issues in the passing game, you can chalk up most of the issues to overall design. Etienne got out in space on this run, where he’s at his best. There just hasn’t been enough of that this season.
Press Taylor kept this guy under 4.0 YPC for an entire season https://t.co/t719vJDPIH
— Mario Puig (@ThePostingScout) December 31, 2023
At least he closed things out for his fantasy managers. His fantasy numbers have mostly been a mirage and not even close to indicative of the health of Jacksonville’s run game. Nevertheless, he rewarded gamers with a hammer shot in Week 17.
Given the matchup, I just struggle to put much stock into a new wrinkle like this. It would be great to see more of this from Jacksonville as they head into a postseason push. So, do it again. Go out and run on the Titans, who so often sell out to stop ground games, in Week 18. Make a statement before heading into the NFL playoffs — because doing it to the Panthers just doesn’t move the needle. | https://www.k923orlando.com/news/national/week-17-caredont/IAYA5UFITTPDTEUBAQLNHTCPTE/ | 2024-01-01T04:33:42Z |

WRAPUP 8-Israel pounds Gaza, Hamas fires rockets as Netanyahu indicates long war
Netanyahu's comments signal no let-up in a campaign that has killed many thousands and levelled much of Gaza, while his vow to restore Israeli control over the enclave's border with Egypt raises new questions over an eventual two-state solution. The Israeli military will release some reservists who were called up to fight Hamas in Gaza, a move it said on Sunday would help the economy as the country prepares for a prolonged war.
Israeli jets intensified attacks on central Gaza on Sunday, residents and medics said, as battles raged through the rubble of towns and refugee camps in a war Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said would take "many more months" to end. Netanyahu's comments signal no let-up in a campaign that has killed many thousands and levelled much of Gaza, while his vow to restore Israeli control over the enclave's border with Egypt raises new questions over an eventual two-state solution.
The Israeli military will release some reservists who were called up to fight Hamas in Gaza, a move it said on Sunday would help the economy as the country prepares for a prolonged war. Air strikes pounded al-Maghazi and al-Bureij in the centre of Gaza, killing 10 people in one house and driving more to flee to Rafah on the border with Egypt from front lines where Israeli tanks are battling Hamas fighters.
Rockets fired from Gaza raced toward central Israel overnight, triggering sirens throughout the central and southern parts of the country. Israeli media carried footage of numerous interceptions. There were no reports of any direct hits. Hamas' armed wing said the barrage was in response to "massacres against civilians" in Gaza.
A Red Crescent video published on Sunday showed rescuers working in the dark to carry an injured child from smoking rubble in central Gaza. Six people died in a strike on the village of al-Mughraqa outside Gaza City, health officials said. A separate strike on a house in Khan Younis killed one person and wounded others, they added. As 2023 drew to a close, Palestinians in Gaza prayed for a ceasefire but had little hope the new year would be better.
"Tonight the sky in world countries will be lit by firecrackers, and joyful laughs will fill the air. In Gaza our skies are now filled with Israeli missiles and tank shells that land on innocent, homeless civilians," said Zainab Khalil, 57, a resident from northern Gaza now in Rafah. The stated goal of Israel's military is to eliminate Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that launched a surprise cross-border assault on Israeli towns on Oct. 7, killing 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and grabbing 240 hostages.
Israel's air and artillery bombardment has killed more than 21,800 people according to health authorities in Hamas-run Gaza, with many more feared dead in the rubble, and pushed nearly all of its 2.3 million people from their homes. Palestinian health ministry casualty figures do not differentiate between fighters and civilians but the ministry has said that 70% of Gaza's dead are women and people under 18. Israel disputes Palestinian casualty figures and says it has killed 8,000 fighters.
Israel blockaded most food, fuel and medicine after the Oct. 7 attack. It said on Sunday that it was ready to let ships from some Western countries deliver aid directly to Gaza's shores after security checks in Cyprus. Gemma Connell, an official with the U.N. humanitarian agency OCHA, said that many of the tens of thousands of people fleeing to Rafah had no possessions and nowhere to sleep.
"I just am so fearful that the amount of deaths that we've been seeing is going to increase exponentially both because of this renewed offensive but also because of these conditions which are literally unbelievable," she said. 'WHERE WILL PEOPLE GO?'
The United States, Israel's main ally, has urged it to scale down the war and European states have signalled alarm at the extent of Palestinian civilian suffering. However Netanyahu's comments on Saturday, when he said he would not resign despite opinion polls showing his government is broadly unpopular and defended his security record despite the Oct. 7 attack, indicate that there will be no easing anytime soon.
Netanyahu said the "the war is at its height" and Israel would have to retake control of Gaza's border with Egypt, an area now crammed with civilians who have fled the carnage across the rest of the enclave. Retaking the border could also constitute a de facto reversal of Israel's 2005 withdrawal from Gaza, raising new questions over the future of the enclave and prospects for a Palestinian state.
Washington said Israel should allow a Palestinian government to control Gaza when the conflict is over. "We just take a fundamentally different view here in terms of what post-conflict Gaza needs to look like," White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said on ABC television.
Israel's hard-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich fuelled concerns about the offensive's aims on Sunday by calling for Palestinians to leave Gaza and make way for Israelis who could "make the desert bloom." That clashed with the official Israeli government position that Gazans will be able to return to their homes. Smotrich and other hardline coalition ministers have been excluded from the core war cabinet but have pushed to take part in decisions about the conflict.
In his last comments as Israeli foreign minister before switching to the energy portfolio on Sunday, Eli Cohen said the border was the likely source of weaponry Hamas had obtained over recent years. Senior Palestinian Authority official Hussein al-Sheikh in the Israeli-occupied West Bank said via social media that Israel taking over the border was evidence of a decision "to completely return the occupation."
"We moved here from Khan Younis on the basis that Rafah was a safe place. There is no space in Rafah as it is overcrowded with displaced," said Umm Mohammed, 45, a displaced Palestinian woman sheltering by the border. "If they control the border, where will people go?" she asked, saying that would be "a disaster."
MAERSK CARGO SHIP ATTACKED The war risks morphing into a wider regional conflict involving Hamas ally Iran and groups Tehran supports across the Middle East.
Israel and Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah have exchanged regular cross-border fire, with the Israeli military saying it struck targets in Lebanon on Sunday. Israel has hit Iran-linked targets in Syria. And Iran-backed groups have attacked U.S. targets in Iraq. Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi group, which has been attacking shipping in the Red Sea for weeks in what it calls a response to Israel's war in Gaza, attacked a Maersk cargo ship, the U.S. military said.
U.S. naval helicopters sank three of the four small boats the Houthis had used in Sunday's attack and drove the fourth back to shore, the military said. Israel says 174 of its military personnel have been killed in the Gaza fighting but that its operations are making progress, including by destroying some Hamas tunnels under the enclave.
Hamas and Islamic Jihad - both sworn to Israel's destruction - have said that they continue to target Israeli forces operating in the enclave.

When the 56-19 loss settled, the Miami Dolphins needed more than one glance into their proverbial mirrors.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa wished he had shifted his glance a little more quickly to see the defender in his receiver’s path on his first interception, and he wished he hadn’t tried to force a ball to Tyreek Hill over the linebacker who snatched the second.
Hill wished he hadn’t bobbled and then dropped a wide-open touchdown pass from Tagovailoa, one of six targets on which the duo failed to connect in the blowout loss.
Dolphins defenders wish they had tackled better in space, limiting or at least complicating the Baltimore Ravens’ display of run-in touchdowns.
And head coach Mike McDaniel wished he had pulled edge rusher Bradley Chubb earlier from an out-of-reach contest. Instead, with the Dolphins trailing by 30 points and less than 4 minutes to play in regulation, Chubb suffered a non-contact knee injury that required carting off.
“I would like a time machine, for sure, in that situation,” McDaniel said. “In hindsight, I would absolutely not have wanted him out there if I would have known he was going to get hurt.
“There’s times in football games where it’s not about winning or losing or ‘Can we come back?’ It's about finishing the football game and having a taste of what our expectations were going into it.”
The Dolphins’ expectations entering their visit to Baltimore and their reality traveling home at 11-5 veered far apart. Their playoff expectations now risk the same trajectory.
“Situations like this where you go into a game with full belief in each other and the eventual outcome … ends up monumentally in another direction, it’s a gut check for a football team,” McDaniel said. “We need to recalibrate, get back together and press forward together.
“Run from nothing. Own it.”
How the Dolphins unraveled vs. stifling Ravens
The Dolphins started off the game strong.
Tagovailoa connected with Hill, running back De’Von Achane and fullback Alec Ingold each for double-digit gains on the first drive alone. Facing third-and-goal from Baltimore’s 8, Tagovailoa pump-faked his first throw before nailing receiver Cedrick Wilson on a high-low concept that forced the Ravens’ defense to wonder whether Hill or Wilson was its intended receiver.
The Dolphins had found the end zone first. But Baltimore answered.
Despite Rashod Bateman failing to survive the ground on a 42-yard pass that was reversed and offensive pass interference nullifying a 26-yard completion to Justice Hill, Jackson distributed the ball a la Tagovailoa with chunk plays to three different targets on the way to the red zone. With 6:39 to play in the first, Jackson dropped back and let a ball rip amid pressure, finding Hill between two defenders on the right sideline for a 20-yard touchdown.
The Dolphins stayed alive with a Tyreek Hill 25-yard catch on fourth-and-5 their next drive but ultimately settled for a field goal.
Against the fourth-ranked scoring offense in the league, that’s not a winning formula.
Nor is turning the ball over.
Miami stayed competitive early, forcing a punt and scoring a pair of field goals. But after a seeming busted coverage allowed a 75-yard touchdown – cornerback Xavien Howard, injured on the first Ravens snap of the day, was missed – the game began veering off course for Miami.
Tagovailoa hurried to fit a play in before halftime and instead threw the first interception.
Miami’s special teams allowed a 78-yard punt return to start the second half, one of several factors in McDaniel’s postgame remark: “I’m confident saying before watching the film: We’re not going to be happy with the way we tackled in open space.”
And even when the Dolphins defense punched a ball loose from Ravens RB Gus Edwards, the optimism was short-lived.
Tagovailoa’s second interception was the next play.
The Dolphins could expect nothing different from the NFL's most takeaway-happy group.
“With circumstances within the game, there was a play or two where maybe we were forcing something,” McDaniel said. “Defensively, they’ve been very opportunistic. We knew that, and ultimately, we played right into their hands.”
A day Tyreek Hill described as “one of the worst games of my career” became the Dolphins’ worst loss of the season, and a day on which Miami was shorthanded due to injuries merited less sympathy when considering the Ravens’ bill of health.
Baltimore was missing its starting right guard, star tight end, two running backs and a cornerback.
Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith, who intercepted and returned a pass 30 yards in addition to seven tackles and another deflection, said Baltimore couldn’t dwell on that or their short week after a Monday night game across the country.
“It’s just adversity,” Smith said. “Look adversity in the face, and like I always tell the guys – chin up, chest out. We don't bow down for anything. Do all you can do. People make excuses with adversity and we just produce.
“Life is not about excuses. It's about what you do and play the cards that you’re dealt.”
The Dolphins best heed that advice.
After Ravens crush Miami, are Dolphins’ playoff hopes at stake?
Tagovailoa, despite taking a hit to his throwing shoulder on a fourth-quarter scramble, was healthy enough to address reporters after the game and seems on schedule to complete his fully available season.
Based on the cart, non-contact nature of injury and shellshock in Dolphins players’ voices, Chubb seems unlikely to play next week or in the postseason.
So sure, in a regular-season finale with the AFC East title on the line, Miami won’t be at full saddle. Neither will Buffalo nor any team the Dolphins face in the postseason.
What the franchise needs to do is better adjust to its personnel shifts and better scheme for its available players. Miami did that well in the run game Sunday, when Achane took the lead role in place of the injured Raheem Mostert, Achane contributing a game-high 137 yards and one touchdown.
But Miami’s passing attack was far too inconsistent, as Tagovailoa completed 57.9% of his passes compared to his league-leading 70.5% mark across the season. (For context, 51 quarterbacks who have attempted at least 50 passes have attempted more than 57.9%.)
Baltimore gashed the Dolphins defense for 491 total yards, a season-worst allowance along with the 56-point output.
Sure, as fairly said after the Ravens dismantled the 49ers, most teams cannot attack and maintain pressure at the rate which Baltimore can.
But the Dolphins have dabbled in Super Bowl-contender conversations, and it’s unlikely they’ll be able to reach that goal without besting Baltimore. It’s unlikely they’ll be able to win any remaining regular or postseason game with the suppressed performance all three phases produced Sunday.
“Everything’s still in front of us,” Tagovailoa said, but achieving it will require much more than Miami showed with the chance to clinch the division on the line.
Tagovailoa preached the importance of consistency after the Dolphins played well enough through one quarter to win but not through four.
Then, he tapped into the glass-half-full perspective as he moved forward.
“If you have the perspective of things could be worse – we could not have clinched the playoff berth, we could not have been playing in a game like this that mattered for positioning with the seeding,” Tagovailoa said. “So if you think of it like that, we’re right where we need to be as a team, regardless of the outcome today.
“We’ll be better for it and hopefully get to see these guys again.” | https://www.k923orlando.com/news/national/whats-next-dolphins/XC7WHVG4HWAGZHXQNLPWQ3ULU4/ | 2024-01-01T04:33:49Z |
Volunteers have collected more than 7,000 large nitrous oxide canisters in the last year – in excess of four tonnes of laughing gas. Possession of nitrous oxide, also known as NOS, was made illegal in November in response to anti-social behaviour and fears for the health of those who inhale it.
“It started off being unusual, the big nitrous oxide canisters, and now it’s commonplace,” said Dave King founder of environmental clean-up organisation Cardiff Rivers Group. “It has gone from the little silver bullets, that we used to find thousands of, which we’ve [now] had very few of.”
Smartwhip and Creme Deluxe are the most common brands of NOS canister and both hold 615g of the gas – 75 times the amount in the regular eight-gram size. “We’re finding them in car parks, business parks, out-of the-way areas – people driving there and using it – so it’s that 18- to 30-year-old and how you target them to actually do something different I don’t know,” said Mr King. Most of these canisters have been found in Cardiff with some being brought over from Newport, The Cardiffian reports.

The canisters are either collected by Cardiff Rivers Group or given by other volunteers. The group then ensures that they are empty before giving them to European Metal Recycling, which pays to use them as scrap metal.
NOS is commonly used in the party and festival scene and is most popular with 16- to 24-year- olds. Its main legitimate uses are for pain relief and in the catering industry. As it’s now a Class C substance people possessing NOS for fun could face a prison sentence of up to two years and an unlimited fine.
Daniel Gibbons, who is a training officer for charity Re-Solv, which works to educate people about the risks of inhaling NOS and of using other dangerous substances, said: “The majority of the people who we support, who are in more of a chronic state, it’s often related to those large canisters. It’s like measuring a shot of vodka out and making a vodka and Coke for one to two units or free pouring [until] you think you’ve had enough.”
The larger NOS canisters are now becoming the most popular way to use laughing gas illegally. “As far as we’re aware the whipped cream siphons you get in a coffee shop are typically created to take the small canisters. The large canisters, I can’t say categorically, I’ve got no evidence to back that up, but I don’t think they have a purpose other than recreational use,” said Mr Gibbons.
NOS canisters also pose a health and safety risk as they can’t be put in normal household bins. In 2022 a nitrous oxide canister exploded in a bin lorry in the Bradford area, which the council said “could have had serious consequences for the crew and vehicle”.
The health effects of using nitrous oxide can be serious, especially when it is used in large quantities. Mr Gibbons said: “People take a balloon, they feel lightheaded, they feel dizzy, they have the potential to fall over and hurt themselves. People do things they wouldn’t normally do because it reduces inhibitions. Beyond that you might start to get people use it in large quantities repetitiously and they might start to experience neuropathy so down the line you might start to get an interference in your central nervous system which is problematic,” said Mr Gibbons. The more serious damage NOS misuse can cause involve mobility issues, temporary paralysis, and urinary incontinence.
Office for National Statistics sata shows deaths involving NOS have been rising during the 21st century, with a peak of 20 deaths recorded in 2019. Although data for the last couple of years hasn’t yet been released Re-Solv noticed an increase in the use of NOS around the time of the Covid-19 lockdowns. “Young people might not be interested in smoking or taking a tablet or sniffing a line because that seems quite hardcore but they may be open to inhaling a gas from a balloon that lasts a minute or so,” said Mr Gibbons.
Regulations on selling NOS are complicated as it’s still legal to use in many industries like catering and medicine. Although a licence is needed to buy NOS for medical reasons many other companies still sell laughing gas which you don’t need a licence to purchase.
A Home Office spokesman said: “There is also a responsibility on legitimate producers and suppliers of nitrous oxide to not be reckless as to whether someone is buying their product to misuse, with no legitimate reason. Turning a blind eye will be committing an offence. There is no expectation for a retailer to go above and beyond what is reasonable.”
South Wales Police say if you believe someone might be consuming NOS illegally to report it to them. You can do this online or by calling 101. | https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/thousands-huge-laughing-gas-canisters-28367630 | 2024-01-01T04:33:52Z |

Reed left Sunday's game at Minnesota due to a chest injury.
Reed was in the midst of putting together his best performance of the season prior to the Packers deeming him questionable to return at the start of the third quarter. On eight targets, he'd hauled in six passes for 89 yards and two touchdowns (33 and 25 yards). Considering Green Bay already is down Christian Watson (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (chest/ankle) on Sunday, the receiving corps has been whittled down to Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath, Samori Toure and Bo Melton. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/packers-jayden-reed-exits-with-chest-injury/ | 2024-01-01T04:33:53Z |

WYOMING, Mich. — Two people were injured after an argument at a Walmart store in Michigan escalated into gunfire on Sunday, authorities said.
The man and woman who were shot suffered injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening, WXMI-TV reported.
The shooting took place at about 6 p.m. in the city of Wyoming, police spokesperson Lt. Andrew Koeller said.

Police said there was an altercation between the two suspects and the male victim, according to WZZM-TV. The shooting took place in the front of the store near the checkout lanes. The male victim was shot; the woman was not a target, the television station reported.
The suspects fled the scene, police said. Both men were wearing masks, WOOD-TV reported.
“This is a brazen public attack. This is not something that we would tolerate, this is not something that should occur,” Koeller told reporters. “And we encourage the public to give any information in help solving this brazen crime and like I mentioned, unfortunately, an innocent bystander was struck. Two people were struck and that’s completely unfortunate.”
It is unclear what led to the altercation between the suspects and the man, WOOD-TV reported. It was also unclear whether the suspects and the male victim knew one another, according to the television station. | https://www.k923orlando.com/news/trending/2-injured-shooting-walmart-michigan/2APDDUBCZ5DPXFFTF2PICOVLRU/ | 2024-01-01T04:33:57Z |
US sinks 3 ships, kills 10 after Houthi Red Sea attack
U.S. helicopters repelled an attack by Iran-backed Houthi militants on a Maersk container vessel in the Red Sea, sinking three ships and killing 10 militants, according to accounts by American, Maersk, and Houthi officials on Sunday.
U.S. helicopters repelled an attack by Iran-backed Houthi militants on a Maersk container vessel in the Red Sea, sinking three ships and killing 10 militants, according to accounts by American, Maersk, and Houthi officials on Sunday. The naval battle occurred around 0330 GMT on Sunday as the attackers sought to board the Singapore-flagged Maersk Hangzhou, Maersk and U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said. Helicopters from the USS Eisenhower and USS Gravely joined the ship's security team in repelling the attackers after receiving a distress call, CENTCOM said.
Maersk said it was pausing all sailing through the Red Sea for 48 hours after the attack. A spokesman for the Houthis said the group carried out the attack because the ship's crew refused to heed warning calls. He said 10 Houthi naval personnel were "dead and missing" after their boats were attacked by U.S. forces in the Red Sea.
The naval battle underlines the risk of a regional escalation in fighting as Israel continues with its relentless bombing campaign following a Hamas surprise cross-border attack on Israeli towns on Oct. 7 that left 1,200 dead, and took 240 hostages. Israel's air and artillery bombardment has killed more than 21,800 people, according to Gazan health authorities. Yemen's Houthis have been targeting vessels in the Red Sea since November to show their support for Hamas, prompting major shipping companies to take the longer and costlier route around the Africa's Cape of Good Hope rather than through the Suez Canal.
The Red Sea is the entry point for ships using the Suez Canal, which handles about 12% of global trade and vital for the movement of goods between Asia and Europe. The United States launched Operation Prosperity Guardian on Dec. 19, saying more than 20 countries had agreed to participate in the efforts to safeguard ships in Red Sea waters near Yemen.
Maersk, one of the world's top cargo shippers, said on Dec. 24 it would resume sailing through the Red Sea. However, attacks have continued and U.S. allies have proven reluctant to commit to the coalition, with nearly half not declaring their presence publicly. The botched Houthi boarding operation was the second attack on the Maersk Hangzhou in as many days. The ship, which is carrying 14,000 containers en route from Singapore, was on Saturday hit by a missle about 55 nautical miles southwest of Al Hodeidah, Yemen.
The shipping company added that the crew of the Maersk Hangzhou crew was safe and there was no indication of fire onboard the vessel, which continued its journey north toward the Suez Canal. White House national security spokesperson John Kirby declined to say what options the U.S. is considering when asked on ABC's "Good Morning America" if Washington would consider a preemptive strike on the Houthis.
"We have made it clear publicly to the Houthis, we've made it clear privately to our allies and partners in the region, that we take these threats seriously." British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said on Sunday that he had told Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian in a call that Iran should help stop the Houthi attacks in the Red Sea.
"I made clear that Iran shares responsibility for preventing these attacks, given their long-standing support to the Houthis," Cameron said in a post on social media site X, adding that the attacks "threaten innocent lives and the global economy". The BIMCO shipping association condemned the attacks and thanked those states involved in repelling them.
"We are thankful to U.S., French, and UK efforts so far and hope even more states will support the coalition with naval assets or other impactful means including diplomatic pressure on the Houthis and their sponsors," Jakob Larsen, BIMCO's head of maritime safety and security, told Reuters.

Reed (chest) will not return to Sunday's game against the Vikings, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Reed was not spotted on the sideline coming out of the locker room for the second half and has now been ruled out. Prior to exiting, he delivered six receptions for 89 yards and two scores, helping the Packers build an extensive lead over their division rival.

The future of a Welsh village has been in question for years with fears that it will be reclaimed by the sea due to climate change and flooding. Villagers have even been described in some reports as the people who will one day become the UK’s first ever “climate refugees" – but not all of them want the label.
Low-lying Fairbourne faces the risk of flooding from three different places: the sea, an estuary close by, and river that descends from the hills. Over the next 30 years there will likely be a significant increase in the risk of floods with Gwynedd Council warning locals it could become uninhabitable by mid-century.
The council also suggested in 2014 that there were plans to "decommission" the entire village – tearing down all the buildings, roads, stores, and other infrastructure and returning the area to marshland – which has so far not been carried out. But while an uncertain path lies ahead lots of villagers are still going about their daily routines. For the latest Welsh news delivered to your inbox, sign up to our newsletter

A decade on from the "decommissioning" prospect and people have grown tired of the conversation, it seems, and weary at the idea of their homes being written off so soon. All but a few residents approached recently by WalesOnline were willing to give their views on the issue.
“We don’t want to think about it any more. Not until something is done. We just want to live our lives normally without negative attention,” one shop owner, who wished to remain anonymous, said.

While Gwynedd Council is currently carrying out various initiatives, such as adopting a project board to examine the implications of climate change for communities in the county like Fairbourne, no promises have been made to protect the village indefinitely. Locals also say the village has seen house prices and jobs plummet with some people choosing to leave the village altogether.
Fairbourne had a population of 681 according to 2021 census statistics – a small dip in numbers compared to the 2011 census which showed 721 people lived in the area. This was just before all of the discussions around how climate change could affect the village became apparent.
Mark Court, who works up the road from Fairbourne at Seren Garages, also believed that despite everything going on in the area people living in the village want to live life without dwelling on what could happen in the future. He said: “I don’t think people are overly concerned about it right now.
"I think people do just want that normality and it doesn’t seem like anything is being done about it anyway. I don’t think anything’s changed. I think there was more concern around the time when it first started but since then it seems to have settled.”
As well as house prices being low in Fairbourne another way in which life is different there is the lack of jobs according to Karen Lindsay, who runs a dog care service in the village. She said: “There is a lack of work there. That’s not a doubt at all but there is still a high quality of life that exists.”
Considering what she enjoys about the area Lindsay added: “I’ve only recently brought my business here but I do know the climate change concerns have affected people in the area, especially anyone with a business there, and impacted property prices. It was kind of doom and gloom when everyone first heard and a lot of people that had properties or holiday properties they could sell felt like they wanted to abandon Fairbourne because it wasn’t an investment
“We enjoy the area and have a holiday home there so we’re going to stick it out anyway as it was quite a cheap property anyway. It was kind of like we decided even with everything that could happen in the future it’s still worth investing time there because it’s still a good place to be."
But while flooding in Fairbourne has been deemed likely unless there is a major change the threat of climate change is affecting the whole of Wales and the rest of the world. Data from Natural Resources Wales was released last month as part of an national flooding plan aimed at setting a framework for how those risks will be managed.
It warned: "Floods are going to happen more frequently in the future. They are also often going to be more widespread and more severe in their nature, causing more hazards – flooding happening more quickly, with deeper and faster-flowing water, for example. More people and properties will be at risk of flooding."

Scientists have also recently informed the subcommittee on polar research of the Environmental Audit Committee that greenhouse gases have already warmed the atmosphere to the point where a rise in sea level of 17.5mm to 52.4mm by 2100 is possible. They cautioned that any additional warming will simply make the issue worse and a phenomenon known as the Albedo effect causes Arctic ice to vanish more quickly the faster it melts.
A Cyngor Gwynedd spokesman said: “The West of Wales Shoreline Management Plan (SMP2) was developed by coastal groups including Natural Resources Wales, Cyngor Gwynedd, Isle of Anglesey County Council, Conwy Borough County Council, Ceredigion County Council, and other stakeholders with a responsibility or interest in managing the coast. It was adopted by Welsh Government in 2013.
“Following this adoption Cyngor Gwynedd established a project board to examine in detail its implications for communities within the county. As part of this work Fairbourne Moving Forward (FMF) was established as a multi-agency project to address the complex environmental issues at Fairbourne. In particular Fairbourne’s vulnerable position due to its location – the village was developed in the late 1800s on an area of low-lying coastal saltmarsh with the Afon Mawddach river estuary to the north, the mountains of southern Eryri to the east, and Cardigan Bay to the west. Two rivers – the Afon Henddol and the Afon Morfa – also flow through or near the village and into the Mawddach Estuary via tidal gates.
“Since being established FMF has drawn upon expertise and knowledge from a range of local and national organisations and from the local community. Its members include Cyngor Gwynedd, Natural Resource Wales (who are responsible for the actual sea defences), Arthog Community Council, the emergency services, Dŵr Cymru, and the local community itself.
“As a local authority Cyngor Gwynedd’s responsibility is to work with our partners to plan ahead to ensure the safety of people living in coastal communities at serious risk of flooding due to climate change. In this regard all decisions regarding the future of Fairbourne are taken in full consultation with the Fairbourne Moving Forward project board.” | https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/village-risk-being-swallowed-sea-28327571 | 2024-01-01T04:34:02Z |

LAREDO, Texas — Customs officers seized narcotics with an estimated street value of $10.2 million at a border crossing between Texas and Mexico, authorities said.
According to a news release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, agents seized the drugs at the World Trade Bridge in Laredo on Dec. 21.
A customs officer referred a 2001 Freightliner tractor hauling a utility refrigerated trailer with a manifest of a commercial shipment of cut flowers for secondary inspection, the news release stated.
During the inspection, officers discovered 164.72 pounds of alleged methamphetamine in powder form, 854.07 pounds of alleged meth in crystal form and 165.34 pounds of alleged cocaine.
Officials estimated that the drugs had a combined street value of $10,298,520.
Agents seized the narcotics, and Homeland Security Investigations special agents are investigating the seizure, the news release stated.
“CBP is proud of the work our frontline officers do to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our communities,” Alberto Flores, director at the Laredo Port of Entry, said in a statement. “This significant seizure is an example of ongoing operational efforts conducted daily to protect our borders.” | https://www.k923orlando.com/news/trending/customs-officers-seize-meth-cocaine-valued-102m-border-crossing/QORQLDR44JGF7NUPEPNKB56NDU/ | 2024-01-01T04:34:03Z |

Edwards rushed 16 times for 68 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 56-19 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Edwards led the Ravens in rushing yards, and although he wasn't involved at all in the passing game, he made up for it with his 13th touchdown of the campaign on a one-yard run just after the halfway point of the second quarter. Justice Hill provided the explosive plays for Baltimore's ground game Sunday, but Edwards played his usual role of early-down grinder with aplomb. Both players could be rested altogether in Week 18 against the Steelers, however, considering the Ravens clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC with Sunday's rout. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/ravens-gus-edwards-solid-numbers-in-week-17-win/ | 2024-01-01T04:34:06Z |
Zelenskiy says Ukraine stronger as it moves toward year two of war
Zelenskiy said the war had taught Ukrainians to withstand Russian attacks and adapt to hardships, including blackouts, the operation of industry and threats to shipping its exports. "The major result of the year, its main achievement: Ukraine has become stronger.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in his New Year address early on Monday said Ukraine had become stronger in overcoming serious difficulties as the war against Russia moves toward its second year. But Zelenskiy's slick 20-minute video message, delivered from his Kyiv office, made almost no direct reference to the situation on the 1,000-km (600-mile) front line or the limited success of a counteroffensive launched in June.
Nor did he refer to the political and diplomatic difficulties in securing continued military and other aid from both the U.S. Congress and the European Union. Zelenskiy said the war had taught Ukrainians to withstand Russian attacks and adapt to hardships, including blackouts, the operation of industry and threats to shipping its exports.
"The major result of the year, its main achievement: Ukraine has become stronger. Ukrainians have become stronger," Zelenskiy said in the address, interspersed with footage of cities under attack and meetings with leaders of Ukraine's Western allies. "When, at the beginning of 2023 ... we surmounted, without exaggeration, the most difficult winter in history. When we proved that Ukrainians are tougher than cold and darkness. Stronger than power outages and blackout threats.
"Ukrainians are stronger than any blockades and vetoes, disbelief or skepticism," he said. Zelenskiy pointed to Ukrainian successes in containing and attacking Russia's navy in the Black Sea, confirmed "by their large landing ships, missile-armed and patrol corvettes on the bottom of the sea."
Ukrainians were "stronger than any intrigues," he said, in putting together groups of Western countries for improving Ukrainian air defences and pledging to supply F-16 fighter aircraft. "We will definitely see them in our skies," he said of the F-16s, while repeating a promise to boost domestic weapons production and produce at least 1 million drones in the next year.
And in a reference to questions of ensuring that the Ukrainian military had sufficient numbers of troops, he urged those who are "still hesitating to make a bold choice next year, to defend their own country, to work for it, to help it."

FREEPORT, N.Y. — Authorities in New York are looking for the person responsible for stabbing a dog 17 times.
The dog, a 2-year-old Terrier mix who has since been named Cornell, was injured by a sharp object on Nov. 27, Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly told WNBC-TV. He survived the attack but had a long road to recovery.
A woman claimed to have found the dog bleeding on a street in the Long Island village of Freeport, according to the television station. The dog did not have a collar or an identification chip, Donnelly said. There was no evidence that Cornell was part of a dogfighting ring, WNBC reported.
The woman who found the dog is not a suspect, Donnelly said.
“Cornell can’t tell us his story. He can’t tell us what happened. He can’t tell us why or when something like this happened to him,” Donnelly told WABC-TV. “We just know he was found bleeding from the 17 wounds.”
Dog found stabbed 17 times in Nassau County, $5K reward offered for information https://t.co/1rJiYJmwbx pic.twitter.com/HfMGPIGtas
— Eyewitness News (@ABC7NY) December 29, 2023
“I’ve seen some pretty horrific things but the extent of the amount of times he was stabbed is unimaginable how someone could ever do that,” Ashley Behrens, acting director of the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, told WPIX-TV.
The dog is now walking, jogging and thriving, barely a month after he was attacked, according to the television station.
Two-year-old terrier mix Cornell is walking, jogging, and thriving just one month after being found with 17 stab wounds across his body, according to county officials.
“Some of the stab wounds caused his lungs to leak air between his body cavity and his lungs, and they had to be drained a number of times,” Donnelly said, according to WABC. “The other stab wounds were cleaned, were either stapled or sewn.”
Donnelly said there were currently no suspects, but she said her office is seeking the public’s help to find out what happened to Cornell.
“I believe this was somebody’s pet. He’s too healthy and in too good shape to have been a street dog,” Donnelly said, according to WNBC. “We need the public’s health to help us find who did this to Cornell.”
Gary Rogers of the Nassau County SPCA echoed Donnelly’s comments.
“People start out on animals before they move into human beings,” Rogers told WPIX. “Somebody in the community knows what happened. You got to keep your community safe. You need to call the DA’s office and tell them who did this because next time you’re going to look at this it could be somebody else.”
Nassau County SPCA is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction, WABC reported. | https://www.k923orlando.com/news/trending/dog-survives-after-being-stabbed-17-times/7UTCMVE4B5H7XPWUMMAC6N3X3U/ | 2024-01-01T04:34:10Z |

If you were to ask the average person in the street who the most famous Welsh writer is the odds are they will say Dylan Thomas. Since his death in 1953 the Swansea bard's myth has grown and grown.
His metaphysical poems on subjects such as mortality, surrealism, and the Second World War have inspired artists of all forms but in particular lyricists and musicians. While the poems and plays provide a fountain of inspiration the life of Thomas and his untimely demise in New York City has also pricked the imaginations of singers, composers, and rock stars.
From Bob Dylan and The Beatles to fellow Welshmen John Cale and the Manic Street Preachers we look at the enduring influence Dylan Thomas has had on the musical world.
Bob Dylan's stage name
The great Robert Zimmerman was the voice of the counterculture generation of the 60s and became the first musician to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. With songs such as Blowing in the Wind, Like a Rolling Stone, and Visions of Johanna, Dylan brought poetry to folk and rock music as an uncompromising wordsmith whose words have left critics debating for decades about their meaning.
Before embarking upon stardom Zimmerman began introducing himself as Bob Dylan in college. In his memoir Chronicles: Volume One he said he originally considered the spelling Dillon or Allyn before seeing the poems of Dylan Thomas, which led him to use the different spelling. He said: "I had suspected that the musician changed the spelling of Allen to Allyn. I could see why. It looked more exotic, more inscrutable. I was going to do this too. Instead of Robert Allen it would be Robert Allyn. Then, sometime later, unexpectedly, I’d seen some poems by Dylan Thomas
"Dylan and Allyn sounded similar: Robert Dylan, Robert Allyn. I couldn’t decide – the letter D came on stronger. But Robert Dylan didn’t look or sound as good as Robert Allyn. People had always called me either Robert or Bobby but Bobby Dylan sounded too skittish to me and, besides, there was already a Bobby Darin, a Bobby Vee, a Bobby Dydell, a Bobby Neely and a lot of other Bobbys."
But as is the case with Dylan he gave contradictory answers in other interviews. In 1966 he said: "I didn’t change my name in honour of Dylan Thomas, that’s just a story... I’ve done more for Dylan Thomas than he’s ever done for me." He later told the New York Times: "Straighten out in your book that I did not take my name from Dylan Thomas... Dylan Thomas' poetry is for people that aren't really satisfied in their bed — for people who dig masculine romance."
The Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band cover
If you look closely enough you can see Dylan Thomas hidden among other famous and historical figures on the Fab Four's 1967 album cover designed by pop artist Peter Blake. If you look above Sir Paul McCartney's waxwork figure you can see him surrounded by actors Marlon Brando and Tom Mix, writers Aldous Huxley and Terry Southern, and comedian Lenny Bruce.
Both John Lennon and McCartney cited Thomas as an influence, which may explain his presence on what is widely regarded the most famous record cover in history. McCartney once wrote: "I am sure that the main influence on both [Bob] Dylan and John [Lennon] was Dylan Thomas. That’s why Bob’s not Bob Zimmerman – his real name. We all used to like Dylan Thomas. I read him a lot. I think that John started writing because of him.”
In an interview recorded just weeks before his death Lennon referred to Thomas while speaking about his childhood. He said: "It was scary as a child because there was nobody to relate to. Neither my auntie nor my friends nor anybody could ever see what I did. It was very, very scary and the only contact I had was reading about an Oscar Wilde or a Dylan Thomas or a Vincent van Gogh – all those books that my auntie had that talked about their suffering because of their visions. Because of what they saw they were tortured by society for trying to express what they were.”
McCartney was also said to have bought a copy of Under Milk Wood “just to see how Thomas dealt with words” and in his book The Lyrics he referred to the play's influence on Penny Lane from which he "took his bearings."
John Cale's musical reworking of poems
Welsh musician and former member of The Velvet Underground John Cale wrote music for a number of Thomas' poems which appeared on his 1989 solo album Words for the Dying. These included There was a Saviour, On a Wedding Anniversary, Lie Still and Sleep Becalmed, and Do not go gentle into that good night.
He performed a rendition of Do not go gentle into that good night at a concert in Cardiff in 1999 to commemorate the opening of the Senedd (then named the Welsh Assembly). He also wrote a song called A Child's Christmas in Wales which took its title from one of Thomas' short stories.
In his memoir What's Welsh for Zen? Cale said: "I wanted to write an opera on Dylan Thomas’ life. When you grow up in Wales you can’t skip Dylan Thomas. At school we were taught that he used his English the way other poets used their Welsh. In Welsh you can express a lot with only a few words. He was someone to identify with, a contrast with the strict Presbyterian community in Wales, with his sense of humour – God knows he needed it…
"I had imitated the Thomas style in grammar school and was a little afraid of it. The poems seemed to carry so much baggage with them and the noise the language made was daunting enough. I worked very freely, chose a poem, and started to play…”
Manic Street Preachers' song Dylan and Caitlin
A reimagining of Thomas' relationship with his wife Caitlin, the Manics' duet with the Anchoress was released as a single and featured on their album Resistance Is Futile. The lyrics present a conversation between the couple and address Thomas' alcoholism and his frequent trips to America shortly before his death. For example: "The blank page awaits/Love has deserted and made/A fool and a drunk out of me/My wishes no longer may breathe/At home with this feeling again/Love has deserted the pain/The alcohol starts to sink in/The drinking blends us to sin."
Speaking about the song lyricist Nicky Wire said: "James [Dean Bradfield] wanted to have something on the album like Don't Go Breaking My Heart by Elton John and Kiki Dee and I wanted to write something a bit character-based, which isn't really me. The extreme love and extreme hate that can take part in a relationship from both sides. You know us as a band – we've always felt a duty to pass on things that we think are more interesting than we are. From Kevin Carter to Let Robeson Sing, it's a part of who we are. Interiors was about Willem de Kooning – Richey had endless reference points. We've always had that desire to pass on. We're always seen as quite a negative, po-faced band but we're not. It's just been about passing on our love of our inspiration."
He added: "The story itself rolls through their relationship – drinking, fighting, and ended up broken by America. The conversational nature of the lyrics lent themselves to a duet so we asked Catherine (The Anchoress) to provide the female perspective. She's a hugely talented kindred spirit."
Igor Stravinsky's In memoriam Dylan Thomas
A year after Thomas' death Russian composer Igor Stravinsky paid tribute to the poet after the two had previously considered working together on an opera. If Thomas had not died when he did it is likely the project would have gone ahead.
The story of the opera was said to be about "the rediscovery of love and language in what might be left of the world after the bomb". The Cold War and the threat of the nuclear bomb was at its highest in the 1950s so the piece would have tapped into the zeitgeist.
Speaking about the work that never was Caitlin Lewis of the Dylan Thomas Centre said: "Dylan had a knack for writing gloomy works so I imagine he would have produced a wonderfully dark description of the world after a bomb and there is no doubt Stravinsky's composition would have created a perfect post-apocalyptic atmosphere.
"Both artists did not have ideal love-lives but they usually portrayed love in their work as romantic. Dylan, with his fascination with the sounds of words, would have had fun writing about the rediscovery of language and there would have been opportunity for his sense of humour to shine."
The full title of Stravinsky's tribute was In memoriam Dylan Thomas: Dirge canons and song and was written for tenor voice, string quartet, and four trombones. It was said to have been based on the poem Do not go gentle into that good night.
The Coral song Milkwood Blues
The Merseyside band were another to take inspiration from Under Milk Wood with the dreamlike Milkwood Blues released on their album Magic and Medicine in 2003. Reference is made to character Captain Cat, a statue of whom stands in Swansea Marina, and the memorable phrases "Bible black" and "black crown nights" created by Thomas are also included. Singer James Skelly's lyrics include the following passage: "Bible black and captain cat/Keeps the world inside his hat/With deep dry wells/And cockled shells", which would have fitted nicely in the script of the radio play.
Songs and music about Dylan Thomas
Indie duo Better Oblivion Community Center, featuring Phoebe Bridgers and Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst, released a song called Dylan Thomas in 2019. Despite bearing the poet's name the lyrics seem to have nothing to do with Dylan Thomas other than stating: "So sick of being honest/I'll die like Dylan Thomas/A seizure on the barroom floor." This is in fact incorrect as Thomas died at St Vincent's Hospital in New York City from pneumonia, brain swelling, and fatty liver.
Scottish multi-instrumentalist and former The Incredible String band member Robin Williamson wrote For Mr Thomas, which was later covered by Van Morrison. The lyrics read: "As bacon wafts through hungry streets, your ghost pervades/Just like an old ex-boxer aged twenty-two/Staged up like Falstaff or the wild Welsh Rimbaud/You'd laugh to see these monochromes they make of you." A full-length opera Do Not Go Gentle, on the last days of Dylan Thomas with music by Robert Manno and libretto by Gwynne Edwards, premiered in 2015 at the Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice in New York. | https://www.walesonline.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/dylan-thomas-worldwide-influence-rock-28239003 | 2024-01-01T04:34:12Z |
Metcalf recorded five catches on eight targets for 106 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Steelers.
Metcalf led Seattle with eight targets and took advantage of a depleted Steelers' safety corps with long receptions of 33 and 32 yards. That helped him tally his third 100-yard receiving game of the season, while also topping 1,000 yards for the campaign. In five pro seasons, Metcalf now has topped the century mark on three occasions and has a minimum of 900 yards in each of those five campaigns.

US Supreme Court's Roberts urges 'caution' as AI reshapes legal field
Artificial intelligence represents a mixed blessing for the legal field, U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts said in a year-end report published on Sunday, urging "caution and humility" as the evolving technology transforms how judges and lawyers go about their work. Roberts struck an ambivalent tone in his 13-page report.
Artificial intelligence represents a mixed blessing for the legal field, U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts said in a year-end report published on Sunday, urging "caution and humility" as the evolving technology transforms how judges and lawyers go about their work.
Roberts struck an ambivalent tone in his 13-page report. He said AI had potential to increase access to justice for indigent litigants, revolutionize legal research and assist courts in resolving cases more quickly and cheaply while also pointing to privacy concerns and the current technology's inability to replicate human discretion. "I predict that human judges will be around for a while," Roberts wrote. "But with equal confidence I predict that judicial work - particularly at the trial level - will be significantly affected by AI."
The chief justice's commentary is his most significant discussion to date of the influence of AI on the law, and coincides with a number of lower courts contending with how best to adapt to a new technology capable of passing the bar exam but also prone to generating fictitious content, known as "hallucinations." Roberts emphasized that "any use of AI requires caution and humility." He mentioned an instance where AI hallucinations had led lawyers to cite non-existent cases in court papers, which the chief justice said is "always a bad idea." Roberts did not elaborate beyond saying the phenomenon "made headlines this year." Last week, for instance, Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's former fixer and lawyer, said in court papers unsealed last week that he mistakenly gave his attorney fake case citations generated by an AI program that made their way into an official court filing. Other instances of lawyers including AI-hallucinated cases in legal briefs have also been documented. A federal appeals court in New Orleans last moth drew headlines by unveiling what appeared to be the first proposed rule by any of the 13 U.S. appeals courts aimed at regulating the use of generative AI tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT by lawyers appearing before it.
The proposed rule by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals would require lawyers to certify that they either did not rely on artificial intelligence programs to draft briefs or that humans reviewed the accuracy of any text generated by AI in their court filings.

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A South Florida business owner is accused of shooting a landscaper on Friday after the worker allegedly blew leaves onto his property, authorities said.
According to Miami-Dade County online booking records, Claudio Arrendell, 52, was charged with one count of attempted murder.
Police said that Arrendell, the owner of P&P Auto Tire Shop in northwestern Miami-Dade County, got into an argument with the landscaper, WTVJ-TV reported.
A judge gave the business owner no bond on Saturday, after allegedly shooting a landscaper over leaves blown onto his property. Here's the latest: https://t.co/pCUhEtiKi5
— NBC 6 South Florida (@nbc6) December 31, 2023
Police said the landscaper was working at a property across the street from the business, and Arrendell was allegedly upset that the leaves from the workers were blowing onto his property, according to the television station.
According to police, Arrendell allegedly pulled out a gun and shot the landscaper, WSVN-TV reported.
The victim, who has not been identified, was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital and was originally listed in critical condition, according to WFOR-TV. The victim has since been upgraded to stable condition, investigators told the television station.
During Arrendell’s court appearance on Saturday, the judge ruled that Arrendell would be held without bond, according to WPLG-TV. | https://www.k923orlando.com/news/trending/tire-shop-owner-accused-shooting-landscaper-who-blew-leaves-onto-property/JTNTIP5L75ARBN5YW6AF2T5ZU4/ | 2024-01-01T04:34:17Z |
Freiermuth totaled three catches (on four targets) for 44 yards during Sunday's 30-23 win at Seattle.
Freiermuth wasn't looked at by quarterback Mason Rudolph in the latter's first start Week 16 against the Bengals, but the tight end was able to get in the act Sunday with his second-highest yardage tally of the year. With only three instances of 40-plus yards in 11 appearances on the campaign, though, Freiermuth is tough to trust in a Steelers offense with uncertainty under center and multiple options to feed in WRs George Pickens and Diontae Johnson and RB Jaylen Warren. Freiermuth may have a difficult time producing Week 18 on the road against the Ravens' fourth-ranked defense (302.1 yards per game).

India's Forex Reserves Rose By USD 58 Billion Cumulatively In 2023
In 2022, India's forex kitty slumped USD 71 billion cumulatively. Gold reserves during the week, however, declined by USD 102 million to USD 474.74 billion.

New Delhi: India's foreign exchange reserves increased by USD 4.471 billion to USD 620.441 billion in the week ending December 22, 2023, hitting a 21-month high, the latest data released by the Reserve Bank of India showed. In the calendar year 2023, the RBI added about USD 58 billion to its foreign exchange kitty.
Last week, India's foreign currency assets (FCA), the biggest component of the forex reserves, rose from USD 4.698 billion to USD 549.747 billion, the central bank's weekly statistical data showed. (Also Read: Online Scam Preys On Mumbai Senior Citizen, Resulting In Rs 4.4 Lakh Loss)

Forex reserves, or foreign exchange reserves (FX reserves), are assets that are held by a nation's central bank or monetary authority. It is generally held in reserve currencies, usually the US Dollar and, to a lesser degree, the Euro, Japanese Yen, and Pound Sterling.
Before last week which ended on December 15, India's foreign exchange reserves increased by USD 9.112 billion to USD 615.971 billion.
In October 2021, the country's foreign exchange reserves touched an all-time high of about USD 645 billion. Much of the decline, though marginal on a cumulative basis, since then can be attributed to a rise in the cost of imported goods in 2022.
Also, the relative fall in forex reserves was largely due to the RBI's intervention, from time to time, in the market to defend the subsequent depreciation in the rupee against a surging US dollar.
Typically, the RBI, from time to time, intervenes in the market through liquidity management, including through the selling of dollars, with a view to preventing a steep depreciation in the rupee.
The RBI closely monitors the foreign exchange markets and intervenes only to maintain orderly market conditions by containing excessive volatility in the exchange rate, without reference to any pre-determined target level or band. | https://zeenews.india.com/economy/indias-forex-reserves-rose-by-usd-58-billion-cumulatively-in-2023-2704826.html | 2024-01-01T04:34:20Z |

In Khon Kaen province, about 5,000 people showed up to give alms to Buddhist monks at its city pillar in Muang district. More than 200 monks and novices received alms on the occasion.
"The alms-giving event is aimed at seeking peace and a fortunate life for Khon Kaen people. It also prolongs the beautiful tradition and culture of the locality. People, government officials and representatives of the private sector experience unity in the activity," said Khon Kaen governor Kraisorn Kongchalad.
In Buri Ram province, locals and visitors went to Phanom Rung ancient temple in the Phanom Rung Historical Park to be bathed with the first light of New Year's Day in the belief that the light would bring good luck.
Visitors to the highland historical park also experienced cool weather on Monday morning when the temperature measured about 15 degrees Celsius.

An hour into our conversation I politely tell Chris Slade that we'll have to leave it there as I'm wanted on another meeting. "That's no problem – I'll keep talking!" he laughs down the phone with as much life and energy as he had when we started.
Slade's lively manner and ability to recall story after story belies his years. Now 77 Slade has clearly lost no appetite for regaling memories to journalists even though I must be the umpteenth one to ask him many of these questions over the years.
For the past 60 years Slade, originally from Treforest near Pontypridd, has been a drummer who has played with everyone from Sir Tom Jones, Olivia Newton-John, and David Gilmour to Manfred Mann and, of course, AC/DC. He's been in studios tapping away on massive hits like Thunderstruck, It's Not Unusual (sort of – more on that later) and Blinded by the Light – all songs from different genres and decades but featuring a Welshman who's been doing pretty much the same thing in and out of bands since he was a teenager.

As the son of a singer and tap dancer father music was very much part of Slade's fabric growing up in the valleys. "He was in a concert party as they were called then," Slade explains to me over the phone from Kent, where he is now based. "They had a singer, pianist, comedian and toured the clubs in the valleys.
"My older brother taught me how to play drums. He taught me a few drum licks because his drum always needed to be cleaned and guess who cleaned it? The younger brother. So in exchange for polishing the brass he taught me a few licks. I was probably about eight."
Slade says his brother worked in a factory all his life and that much of what he learned as a young drummer was picked up "from listening to records and the radio – '50s records, the pop songs of the day, Pat Boone. There was some Elvis Presley later on but it was things like Connie Francis. Romantic slush really."
"Radio Luxembourg happened then and everyone listened to that – even The Beatles before they were famous. A lot of those records didn’t have drums on them though – [it was] a lot of orchestras.
"I decided very young that I wanted to be a drummer and bought a drum kit. I used to play on the table with two knives on a biscuit tin – really I was just enamoured with it. It was all I listened to when I listened to songs though I liked them too."
Still a young boy Slade bought a kit off his father's band's drummer who lived on the Broadway in Pontypridd. "It was £12 – I think it had one tom, one snare, one bass drum and cymbal," he chuckles. "I sprayed it myself I think – it wasn’t a very good job anyway. I used to play in the front room of my house from about nine or 10. Drums chose me."
Clearly inspired by seeing his dad getting up on stages Slade took up performing early on – though getting a gig was tricky given his age. "I played with the piano player that played with my father – that was my first show. I was about 11. I probably shouldn’t have been in the place. I said I knew the parts but I just made it up as I went along.
“I was in a band in the youth club. It was a case of: ‘What can you play?’ It was probably terrible. We were too young to do gigs so it was all about rehearsing – and no-one would pay to hear us anyway." At the time Slade and a band he had cobbled together used to rehearse in Taff's Well. His family didn't have a car at the time so he used to bring his kit on the train.
Still only a teenager Slade was working a summer job in a shoe shop in Cardiff when his brush with who would later become one of Wales' most beloved musicians came about. At the time, years before his star would rise, a young Tom Jones fronted a Welsh beat group called Tommy Scott and the Senators.
"I was working in the shop and the Senators’ guitarist came in to buy some shoes. I’d just been told an hour or so before that the band – they used to play in the Greenfly in Caerphilly – had sacked their drummer the night before.
“I saw Mike and thought: ‘Am I going to do this?' He was in his 20s and I was 16. I was shaking but went up to him and said I’d just been told they need a drummer, that I play the drums and lived near Tom, which I did. We didn’t know each other but my dad did. My father used to come back and say he’d seen this singer who was 10 times better than Tommy Steele and I thought: 'That can't be true.'
“They ended up coming to our front room one day where I had a brand new Premier kit, shiny cymbals – wonderful. I still have it by the way. Someone asked: ‘Can you play Walk Don’t Run?' which in those days was quite a hard intro. I played it and we rehearsed."
Before long Slade, Tom Jones et al were lugging their gear onto and off buses to get to the pub they'd been allowed to rehearse in. “We each picked up a drum, got on the bus, and went to Ponty. We had to change buses to go through Abercynon and all of us with our drums went there to Dai Cooper’s parents’ pub. The Stereophonics told me years later they still rehearsed there.
“I remember Tom saying on the bus: ‘We’re rehearsing in a pub – can you drink?’ I was 16 and nearly 17 so I said: ‘Yes’. He said: ‘Good’."
Not yet out of his teens Slade was playing around with Tommy Scott and the Senators, fulfilling his dream of playing drums and even earning a bit of money. He tells me the band were popular on the circuit around south Wales in the '60s. "Tom could really sing – he has a fantastic voice. We did a lot of rock and roll which went down really well in the working men's clubs with miners, steelworkers. We were working seven nights a week getting a fiver a night each, which was a hell of a lot of money then.
"My dad was only earning about £20 a week. So I stopped going to school. I didn’t like it at the time and was earning this sort of money now so thought I’d stop. Which is very stupid and I wouldn’t advise any child [to do it]."
Slade played with Jones on an off for several years and one of the big questions he gets is around whether he actually played on It's Not Unusual, the early demoing of which he took part in in London's famous Denmark Street. Can he settle it and confirm whether or not he is on the finished recording?
“It’s debatable because they must have done it about six times. Ronnie Verrell did, Jimmy Page did. You didn’t get any credits in those days. They couldn’t make it swing like the demo, they said – that was said to me. Then they came up with the brass thing that made it swing. I personally think it is Andy White on it but it’s hard to tell.”
Tommy Scott and the Senators later became Tom Jones and the Squires and became bigger and bigger, even playing Madison Square Garden for a week when Slade was still only 19. He claims he and the other Squires were even sacked by their manager at one point because of their inability to read music but he was asked to go back shortly after ("I needed the money so I did").
Jones' career eventually took off and Slade departed though he's coy on the exact reasons behind his second departure. "It'll be in the book," he says cheekily. The intervening years saw Slade's career take a similar trajectory though – he was an original founding member of Manfred Mann's Earth Band, playing on their eight studio albums released from 1972 to 1978, and the jobbing drummer played with Paul Rodgers and Jimmy Page in The Firm in the mid-80s, also playing with Pink Floyd's David Gilmour and Gary Moore on his 1989 world tour.
But his major exposure came in that same year when he got a chance to audition for rock and roll titans AC/DC in 1989. He had recently been touring with Moore, who shared management with AC/DC, which he explains is how the opportunity came up.
“I was aware of their music. I bought Highway to Hell when it came out and played it and played it," he remembers. "The audition was an hour from where I lived at the time, Brighton way.
"[In the audition] Angus and Mal (Malcolm Young, co-founder and guitarist of AC/DC) came in, put two chairs down 10ft from the drum kit, and didn’t say anything. So no pressure at all!" The audition passed by with Slade playing a few songs with the band – but he came out convinced he'd blown it.
“I didn’t think I auditioned well at all and was berating myself all the way home an hour away in east Sussex at the time. I was so preoccupied with kicking myself that I actually got lost. So I thought I’d ring the missus and called her to say I’d got lost. She asked how it went and I said: 'Terrible' and that I’d tell her when I got home.
“She came up the path when I arrived and said: ‘They’ve just called to say you’ve got the job’. I said: 'Let’s go down the pub!' Dick Jones the drum tech told me after that they’d tried 100 drummers and I was number 100. At the time people would say: 'Don’t tell my band but I want to try out for AC/DC.'"
Slade joined the band and played on their 1990 album The Razors Edge album in 1990 – considered a major comeback which featured megahit Thunderstruck – and the accompanying world tour. AC/DC were a stadium act at that point but for Slade it never seemed much of a stretch.
"I played Madison Square Garden at 19. I’ve never felt daunted or nervous. I know it sounds arrogant. I am a little apprehensive if I don’t know the music but if I know it I’m quite happy to do anything.
“It was a job. It was a good job but, you know, I’ve always been very professional. You just do the best you can for the band. They were great. Malcolm was absolutely fantastic. He was a genius. The best rhythm guitarist I’ve ever played with."
Disappointment was to follow though when AC/DC came to him during the recording of their follow-up album Ballbreaker to say they wanted to reunite with former drummer Phil Rudd. In 2020 Slade told Rolling Stone the split came about via a call with Malcolm Young saying it was nothing he'd done but that they wanted to "try Phil out again" to which he said: “Oh, wow. That’s a biggie. So I’m gone then.”
Although he says Young wanted to keep him around Slade says he didn't want to do this and departed the band. His appetite for big stages didn't diminish though and he played with English rock supergroup Asia for six years until 2005. He has even fronted an AC/DC tribute band, Chris Slade Steel Circle, and today still tours with his own band The Chris Slade Timeline, who perform hits spanning his entire career (including, yes, AC/DC numbers).
So it was quite the full circle when he returned to join his former AC/DC bandmates in 2015 for their tour of new album Rock or Bust when ex-drummer Phil Rudd was unable to participate after being sentenced to house arrest. Did he expect to get the call? “People kept asking me and I kept saying: 'They’re not going to call, they're not going to call' and it went on for months," he insists. "Then I was on the road with Timeline and got the ring ring." When management asked on the phone if he'd be interested in joining the tour he barely hesitated.
“I said: 'Of course'. I asked if the band had asked me [to come back] and the manager said: ‘Of course' [and] that he wouldn't be asking me if they hadn't wanted it first. I used to visit the band sometimes when they were in London but hadn’t seen them much since. Probably a few years."
A 17-month, seven-leg jaunt around the world followed in 2015 and 2016 which saw AC/DC pack out stadiums with capacities topping 150,000 on some nights. While Slade says he relished the crowds every night there were concerns from singer Brian Johnson who had complained about hearing issues.
“It was fantastic – 80,000 people a night for years," Slade recalls. "They had three stages. I used to say to Brian, who would come off unhappy with his voice, that I could hear him perfectly, don’t worry about it. I was using in-ear monitors."
In March 2016 Johnson stepped away temporarily after being ordered to stop touring causing the final weeks of the tour to be rescheduled. When they did step back on stage it was a very different look featuring none other than Axl Rose of Guns N' Roses appearing in Johnson's place. It was the first time that AC/DC had featured a lead vocalist other than Johnson since they concluded the Highway to Hell Tour in January 1980.
“To be honest I was incredulous," Slade says of the unveiling of Rose, who had been the subject of well-publicised legal issues throughout his career. "We were auditioning singers – we tried four or five. And I didn’t know anything about it. All of a sudden they said: ‘It’s Axl Rose tomorrow’. I knew all the horror stories of course.
“I met him, shook his hand, and thought: 'This guy’s all right'. And he was. He's nothing like the character you’ve heard about – he tells great jokes. He’s as funny as Brian is.”
After the tour ended in 2016 there were rumours about further iterations of AC/DC but Slade says he was never made aware about what was happening. In September 2020 the band announced another reunion with Phil Rudd again returning – effectively making Slade leave the band for a second time.
American drummer Matt Laug filled in for Rudd at a festival in October 2023 but despite not appearing with AC/DC in recent performances Slade has always been gracious about those who've stepped behind the drum kit with his old bandmates. In a post online this year he described Laug as "a very nice guy" and added: "At the back of the stage. I wish him the best of luck!" He later commented further to say: "I am not bitter or 'whining' and neither did I expect a call from AC/DC. I merely wanted to say that I know Matt well and he will do an admirable job because I knew a lot of you would ask me."
It's not as if Slade is sitting about either – when we speak he has just come off the last of dozens of shows with The Chris Slade Timeline this year with more already pencilled in for 2024 in England, Belgium, Scotland, Poland, and France. Based in Kent with his partner Christine he's more than capable of keeping himself occupied.
"I've no plans to stop [playing] at all. I always say ‘I use the force'," he chuckles, his energy obvious even over the phone. “I’m learning seven languages at the same time. One of them is Welsh. We didn’t speak it at home.
“On average every other weekend we do gigs. A lot in Germany, France, Italy. We’re doing Poland next year for the first time. Last night we finished recording an album, which will hopefully out before spring." Two of his sons are now drummers despite his sage advice: "I warned them: 'Don’t become a drummer – learn keyboards or guitar. Drummers come at the bottom of the pecking order.'” | https://www.walesonline.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/man-welsh-village-who-played-28167924 | 2024-01-01T04:34:22Z |

Macron says 2024, marked by Olympics, will be year of French pride and hope
He sought to cheer up the French after a year marked by wars and crises abroad as well as protests over an unpopular pension reform and street violence following the police killing of a teenager at a Paris traffic stop. OLYMPIC PARTY According to Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin, over 800,000 people took to the Champs Elysees boulevard to greet the new year in a mass party with an Olympics theme. They watched a stunning video show on the Arc de Triomphe celebrating France's current and past sports stars ahead of midnight fireworks that lasted 10 minutes.
President Emmanuel Macron vowed on Sunday that 2024 will be the year of French pride and hope, marked by the Paris 2024 Olympic Summer Games and the reopening of the Notre Dame cathedral after a devastating fire in 2019.
"Only once in a century does one host Olympic and Paralympic Games, only once in a millennium does one rebuild a cathedral," Macron said. "2024, a year of determination, choices, recovery, pride. In fact, a year of hope." He spoke in a televised address ahead of New Year celebrations during which around 90,000 police and 5,000 soldiers will be deployed to ensure security and address what the government called a "very high" terrorist threat.
France will continue to "re-arm" itself when it comes to security matters, but also boost public education and social cohesion, Macron said. He sought to cheer up the French after a year marked by wars and crises abroad as well as protests over an unpopular pension reform and street violence following the police killing of a teenager at a Paris traffic stop.

They watched a stunning video show on the Arc de Triomphe celebrating France's current and past sports stars ahead of midnight fireworks that lasted 10 minutes. As of 2300 CET, 69 people have been arrested countrywide, around 40 of which in Paris as authorities so far only reported minor security-related incidents.

Johnson (undisclosed) won't finish Sunday's game versus the Stars.
Johnson was ruled out at the start of the third period, though the Blackhawks were already far behind when the injury was announced. It's unclear when Johnson was hurt in the game. The 33-year-old should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Predators.

Armenia calls for non-discriminatory energy pricing in EAEU
"One of the key areas of integration in the Eurasian Economic Union is energy as the basis for creating equal and non-discriminatory economic conditions in the EAEU member states. In this context, we should be actively working on the implementation of the programs to develop the common markets of oil, petroleum products and gas and also the common electricity market. There is a need to intensify efforts on a coordinated energy policy and to settle as early as possible the sensitive issue of energy and transit pricing in the EAEU member states on a non-discriminatory basis," Nikol Pashinyan said.
He also touched upon the EAEU digital agenda. "It is important to pool together the IT communities of the member states in order to promote the high-tech sector and fully implement the digital agenda of the union," he said. "The EAEU digital agenda should become one of the main tools for improving the union, making it more efficient and attractive. As part of the digital agenda we should consistently promote the initiatives aimed at deepening the integration and reaping direct benefits for the economies and citizens of the EAEU member states such as electronic accompanying documents, electronic labor exchanges and other similar platforms," he noted.
Among the most important tasks of the EAEU Nikol Pashinyan also called confidence-building within the union, the establishment of a product traceability system, diversification of the Eurasian transport infrastructure and transit corridors. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/armenia-calls-for-non-discriminatory-energy-pricing-in-eaeu_a3491855/ | 2024-01-01T04:34:30Z |

Johnson's undisclosed injury suffered Sunday versus the Stars will keep him out of the lineup for a little while, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Johnson's injury is not the same one that bothered him prior to the holiday break. That issue cost him just one game. While a specific timeline hasn't been established, it wouldn't be surprising to see the forward miss the rest of the Blackhawks' road trip, which has three games left.

Artificial rain tested over Yellow Sea to fight fine dust
The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) and the Ministry of Environment said that their research institutes jointly began the rare experiment over the sea off the nation's west-central coast in the morning, Yonhap reports.
An airplane owned by the KMA dispersed silver iodide, a chemical that increases precipitation by collecting water vapor, into the clouds.
Researchers utilized ships and various devices to observe changes in precipitation particles in the clouds and any reduction of fine dust concentrations after the chemical was sprayed.
The government agencies plan to disclose the results of the artificial rain experiment on Saturday at the earliest, before releasing a more detailed scientific analysis next month.
South Korea had previously conducted similar experiments in inland areas but with little success. It was the first time the experiment had been carried out over the sea.
If successful, the government expects the experiment to help efforts to reduce the density of fine dust particles blowing toward Korea from China. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/artificial-rain-tested-over-yellow-sea-to-fight-fine-dust_a3492010/ | 2024-01-01T04:34:37Z |

The naval battle occurred around 0330 GMT on Sunday as the attackers sought to board the Singapore-flagged Maersk Hangzhou, Maersk and U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said. Helicopters from the USS Eisenhower and USS Gravely joined the ship's security team in repelling the attackers after receiving a distress call, CENTCOM said.
Maersk said it was pausing all sailing through the Red Sea for 48 hours after the attack. A spokesman for the Houthis said the group carried out the attack because the ship's crew refused to heed warning calls. He said 10 Houthi naval personnel were "dead and missing" after their boats were attacked by U.S. forces in the Red Sea.
The naval battle underlines the risk of a regional escalation in fighting as Israel continues with its relentless bombing campaign following a Hamas surprise cross-border attack on Israeli towns on Oct. 7 that left 1,200 dead, and took 240 hostages. Israel's air and artillery bombardment has killed more than 21,800 people, according to Gazan health authorities. Yemen's Houthis have been targeting vessels in the Red Sea since November to show their support for Hamas, prompting major shipping companies to take the longer and costlier route around the Africa's Cape of Good Hope rather than through the Suez Canal.
The Red Sea is the entry point for ships using the Suez Canal, which handles about 12% of global trade and vital for the movement of goods between Asia and Europe. The United States launched Operation Prosperity Guardian on Dec. 19, saying more than 20 countries had agreed to participate in the efforts to safeguard ships in Red Sea waters near Yemen.
Maersk, one of the world's top cargo shippers, said on Dec. 24 it would resume sailing through the Red Sea. However, attacks have continued and U.S. allies have proven reluctant to commit to the coalition, with nearly half not declaring their presence publicly. The botched Houthi boarding operation was the second attack on the Maersk Hangzhou in as many days. The ship, which is carrying 14,000 containers en route from Singapore, was on Saturday hit by a missile about 55 nautical miles southwest of Al Hodeidah, Yemen.
The shipping company added that the crew of the Maersk Hangzhou crew was safe and there was no indication of fire onboard the vessel, which continued its journey north toward the Suez Canal. White House national security spokesperson John Kirby declined to say what options the U.S. is considering when asked on ABC's "Good Morning America" if Washington would consider a preemptive strike on the Houthis.
"We have made it clear publicly to the Houthis, we've made it clear privately to our allies and partners in the region, that we take these threats seriously." Writing in the Daily Telegraph newspaper, British Defence Secretary Grant Shapps said: "We are willing to take direct action, and we won't hesitate to take further action to deter threats to freedom of navigation in the Red Sea."
"The Houthis should be under no misunderstanding: we are committed to holding malign actors accountable for unlawful seizures and attacks," he said. Earlier on Sunday, British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said he had told Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian in a call that Iran should help stop the Houthi attacks in the Red Sea.
The BIMCO shipping association condemned the attacks and thanked those states involved in repelling them. "We are thankful to U.S., French, and UK efforts so far and hope even more states will support the coalition with naval assets or other impactful means including diplomatic pressure on the Houthis and their sponsors," Jakob Larsen, BIMCO's head of maritime safety and security, told Reuters.

Montembault allowed four goals on 20 shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Lightning.
Montembeault kept Tampa off the board in the opening period, but he'd allow two goals apiece in the second and third frames in a one-goal defeat. The 27-year-old netminder has now dropped four of his last five starts, falling to 7-5-3 with a .903 save percentage and 2.94 GAA this year. Montembeault should continue rotating starts with Jake Allen and Cayden Primeau in Montreal.

Ukraine, Russia accuse each other of early New Year's Day attacks
Ukraine's shelling of the city of Donetsk in early New Year's Day hours killed four people, a Russian-installed official in the eastern region of Ukraine said, while Ukrainian officials said at least one person was killed in Russia's air attack on Odesa. Fourteen people were also injured in "heavy shelling" by Ukrainian forces on the centre of Donetsk, Denis Pushilin, the Russian-appointed head of the broader Donetsk region of which the Donetsk city is the administrative centre, wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
Ukraine's shelling of the city of Donetsk in early New Year's Day hours killed four people, a Russian-installed official in the eastern region of Ukraine said, while Ukrainian officials said at least one person was killed in Russia's air attack on Odesa.
Fourteen people were also injured in "heavy shelling" by Ukrainian forces on the centre of Donetsk, Denis Pushilin, the Russian-appointed head of the broader Donetsk region of which the Donetsk city is the administrative centre, wrote on the Telegram messaging app. At least one person was killed in Russia's drone attack on the Ukrainian southern port of Odesa, Oleh Kiper, governor of the Odesa region that encompasses the city of Odesa, said on Telegram.
Kiper said that Ukraine's air defence systems were engaged in repelling the drone attack, but the falling debris caused several fires in residential buildings in different parts of the city, also injuring several people. A social media video, posted by Odesa Mayor Henadii Trukhanov, shows him inspecting a damaged apartment with broken windows.
"They say that how you welcome the New Year is how you will live the year," Trukhanov said in a post. "Well, this year Ukraine will break this rule: we will persevere and we will win.
Ukraine's air force said that Russia's air attack also targeted the Mykolaiv and Dnipro regions. Reuters could not independently verify the Russian and Ukrainian reports. Both sides deny targeting civilians in the war that started with Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
