Attacks on cargo vessels: Indian Navy deploys frontline destroyers, frigates in Arabian Sea
- Country:
- India
The Indian Navy has deployed task groups comprising frontline destroyers and frigates in the central and north Arabian Sea and augmented its force levels in the region to undertake maritime security operations in view of recent attacks on commercial vessels in key shipping lanes.
The Navy said on Sunday that it has ''substantially enhanced maritime surveillance efforts'' and that recent incidents including the drone attack on commercial vessel MV Chem Pluto around 220 nautical miles southwest of Porbandar indicated a shift in maritime incidents closer to India's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
The additional deployment of the assets including long-range maritime patrol aircraft by the Indian Navy in the region came amid increasing global concerns over the Houthi militants targeting various cargo vessels in the Red Sea against the backdrop of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The Navy said the overall situation is being closely monitored in coordination with national maritime agencies and asserted that it remains committed to ensuring safety of merchant shipping in the region.
''Task Groups comprising destroyers and frigates have been deployed to undertake maritime security operations and render assistance to merchant vessels in case of any incident,'' it said.
Liberian-flagged vessel MV Chem Pluto, with 21 Indian crew members, was the target of a drone attack off India's west coast on December 23 that triggered security concerns in New Delhi as it came amid the Iran-backed Houthi militants launching strikes on several commercial ships in the Red Sea.
Besides MV Chem Pluto, another commercial oil tanker that was on the way to India came under a suspected drone strike in southern Red Sea on the same day. The vessel had a team of 25 Indian crew.
In another incident, Malta-flagged vessel MV Ruen was hijacked on December 14 by pirates.
''The last few weeks have witnessed increased maritime security incidents on merchant vessels transiting through international shipping lanes in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and Central/ North Arabian Sea,'' the Navy said.
''The piracy incident on MV Ruen approximately 700 nautical miles from the Indian coast and recent drone attack on MV Chem Pluto, approximately 220 nautical miles South West of Porbandar indicates a shift in maritime incidents closer to Indian EEZ,'' it said.
In a statement, the Navy said that in response to these incidents, it has ''substantially enhanced maritime surveillance efforts'' in the central and north Arabian Sea and ''augmented'' force levels.
''Aerial surveillance by long-range maritime patrol aircraft and RPAs (remotely piloted aircraft) has been enhanced to have a complete maritime domain awareness. Towards effective surveillance of EEZ, the Indian Navy is operating in close coordination with the Coast Guard,'' the Navy said.
''The overall situation is being closely monitored by the Indian Navy in coordination with national maritime agencies. The Indian Navy remains committed to ensuring safety of merchant shipping in the region,'' it said.
Against the backdrop of Houthi rebels stepping up attacks on ships in the Red Sea, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi on Friday said it is carefully evaluating all aspects of the unfolding situation in that region.
At the same time, he said India is not part of any multilateral initiative or operation in and around the Red Sea.
''As we said earlier, we value the free movement of commercial shipping, which is one of the fundamental principles underpinning global commerce,'' Bagchi had said.
''We are carefully evaluating all aspects of the unfolding situation in that region. Our defence forces are taking necessary measures in this regard,'' he said.
Without elaborating, Bagchi had said the defence forces are taking required measures.

It's all about how we perceive this day, as the reality of the matter is ... it's just another day.
By Ruby Miranda

How dare we even think of having a rough horoscope on the very first day of the year? Well, the truth is that on January 1, 2024, everything is perception, so what might look like a fabulous day to one person may take on tones of negativity to another. It's all about how we perceive this day, as the reality of the matter is...that it's just another day.
We have a very interesting transit going for us on this day, and because it's so 'interesting,' we could definitely go either way when it comes to perceiving its inner meaning. On this day, January 1, 2024, Mercury goes direct, and that means that it's no longer in the ill-fated station of retrograde; potentially, this is the beginning of something good.
Alas, we haven't all woken up with a peppy attitude, as we're still acting as if Mercury is still dragging us down. The thing is...we're the ones who haven't caught up yet. And for three zodiac signs, this day might feel like a drag. Not to worry, though, we'll get there. It's a guarantee. With Mercury direct, as of January 1, 2024, we'll start to see things get back to working order, very shortly. Thank you, cosmos!
Three zodiac signs with rough horoscopes on January 1, 2024:
1. Taurus
(April 20 - May 20)
No need to fret, Taurus, simply because your zodiac sign is among the chosen ones for the 'rough' horoscope of the day. What's really going on is that on this day, January 1, 2024, you're a little lazier than usual, and the thing is, you feel you have the right to be this way. You've got an entire year ahead of you to get it all together, and you don't feel the need to rush yourself along on this day. You'll get there...and you'll keep telling everyone around you the same thing. "I'll get there. Leave me alone, please."
With Mercury direct, you may feel even more justified in wanting to take it down a notch simply because you feel the energy shift in the universe and in a way, it lets you know that one more day of blobbing around isn't going to kill anyone. You are prepared to listen to your heart on this day, and with Mercury direct on your back, you know it's not going to last; you'll get there, as you've said so many times earlier.
The only thing that might make this day feel a bit rough is that you feel a bit rough around the edges, as you're still not used to the idea that there's an entire year ahead of you, and now you've got to get up and do it all. All that you planned now holds that sign in front of your face that says, 'No excuses.' You know what lies ahead, and while it's daunting...you'll get around to it. No problem. You'll get there.

2. Virgo
(August 23 - September 22)
With all your heart and mind and bodily strength, you want so very much for this first day of the year to shine through like a silver lining on a cloudy day, and for some reason, you simply can't talk yourself into being that much of a cheerleader on this day, January 1, 2024. You want to be all 'rah-rah, let's go, team,' but you feel more like, 'Hey, hey, let's just sleep a few more hours, mkay?' It's alright. You've got Mercury direct to remind you that tomorrow...it's ON.
The only thing that might get you down on this day is that you may start comparing your life to the imaginary lives of others, meaning, in your head, you think the entire world is in a get-up-and-go frame of mind, while there you are, over in slug-city, taking it a little too easy. But then again, you're you, and you're the one who gets to boss you around...or lay back, and well, January 1, 2024, has you opting for the laid-back version.
With Mercury going direct on this day, you will feel as though you are not under pressure anymore, and this could be very helpful. The retrograde was making everything seem harder than it really was, and now that you're on the other side of it, you feel more easygoing and well-rested. But still, you'll be the one who sounds the whistle when it's time for you to toss yourself into action, and that certainly won't be on this day, Virgo.

3. Aquarius
(January 20 - February 18)
The last thing you have in mind for this day, January 1, 2023, is to follow some kind of burst of positive energy all the way through to the finish line. You're just not in the mood, and that doesn't bother you as much as it seems to get on everyone else's nerves. Why the heck do these people even care if you're the New Year's Boss or not? You just want to hang back, and with Mercury direct, you'll feel fine about doing whatever you want. However, you want it.
Related Stories From YourTango:
Mercury affects different people, different ways and not everyone jumps on board this speeding train at the same stop. Yours will come in a few days, and then it will be you who decides to move yourself into a more active state, but you feel no obligation to follow anyone else's rules but your own. In fact, you've always been this way. So, let them eat cake or whatever they need to do; it's their life, and you're not their boss...and that works both ways, right?
It's not as if you aren't aware that there's this entire new year ahead of you. Yes, you have plans but must you really get them all done on the very first day of the year? Oh please, no way, just...go away. You find people 'weird' on this day, and while you'd love to spend time with a friend, if it ends up with you just sitting there in front of your computer, keeping up with social media, then so be it. Your life, right?

Ninety-six years after their first big-screen appearance, two of the most iconic and recognizable characters in the world are sailing straight into the public domain.
It marks the first time the characters of Mickey and Minnie Mouse can freely be used by artists, writers, and filmmakers in their artwork, books, or films without the fear of legal action from The Walt Disney Company.
"This is the juggernaut. This is it. This is Mickey Mouse," said Duke University School of Law Professor Jennifer Jenkins.
But just to be clear, it's not the modern Mickey we know today with his bright red pants and cartoonish voice—it's the mischievous, voiceless, and black-and-white boat captain from "Steamboat Willie."
The short film debuted in 1928 as a technical marvel—the first cartoon to feature synchronized sound. But today, the eight-minute animation is remembered more as the work that catapulted the career of Walt Disney, introduced the world to Disney's longest-running mascots, and helped change copyright law as we know it.
"I kind of feel like the pipe on the steamboat, like expelling smoke," said Jenkins. "It's so exciting that it's finally here. I mean, when I started my job, as a joke, I had a 'Free the Mouse' bumper sticker."
"Steamboat Willie" was originally supposed to enter the public domain in 1984, when the film turned 56, and again in 2004, when the film turned 75. But as Disney became the entertainment powerhouse it still is today, the company lobbied the U.S. government to pass two copyright protection acts to extend its exclusive ownership over the character.
Critics referred to this as the "Mickey Mouse Protection Act," but that comes to an end this year.
"It's exhilarating. But I've been feeling this exhilarating feeling since 2019, because that's the first time after a 20-year drought that any published work at all entered the public domain in the United States," said Jenkins.
The extended copyright terms didn't just stop Mickey and Minnie Mouse from entering the public domain. It also stopped any work of fiction from losing its copyright from 1999 to 2019. That included books like "The Great Gatsby," which entered the public domain in 2021, and A.A. Milne's original "Winnie-the-Pooh," which joined the public the next year.
The characters have since been adapted into graphic novels, video games, a Broadway musical, and a horror movie. All of that could likely soon happen to "Steamboat Willie," but that doesn't mean there's no legal risk at all, as Disney can still claim copyright over later iterations of its characters, including the iconic Sorcerer Mickey from the 1940 film "Fantasia."
A spokesperson from The Walt Disney Company noted: "More modern versions of Mickey will remain unaffected by the expiration of the Steamboat Willie copyright, and Mickey will continue to play a leading role as a global ambassador for the Walt Disney Company in our storytelling, theme park attractions, and merchandise."
Beyond copyright, the House of Mouse also holds a trademark on its famous character, meaning only The Walt Disney Company can use Mickey as its logo and corporate mascot.
That means you can't pretend to be The Walt Disney Company by using the Mickey Mouse branding. But if you want to write your own version of "Steamboat Willie," feel free to go full steam ahead.

WRAPUP 5-Israeli jets pound central Gaza as Netanyahu indicates longer war
"In 2024 I wish to go back to the wreckage of my home, pitch a tent and live there," said Abu Abdullah al-Agha, a middle- aged Palestinian man whose house in Khan Younis was destroyed and who lost a young niece and nephew in an air strike. 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.
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 that 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.
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. 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.
As 2023 drew to a close, Palestinians in Gaza prayed for a ceasefire but had little hope the new year would be better. "In 2024 I wish to go back to the wreckage of my home, pitch a tent and live there," said Abu Abdullah al-Agha, a middle- aged Palestinian man whose house in Khan Younis was destroyed and who lost a young niece and nephew in an air strike.
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 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 70% of Gaza's dead are women and under-18s. 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 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 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 there will be no easing any time soon. He 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. Israel's hard-right finance minister Bezalel Smotrich fuelled concerns about the offensive's aims by calling on Sunday 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 this 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 on Saturday and Sunday, 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 they continue to target Israeli forces operating in the enclave.

At least 7 killed, 150 missing in dam collapse in Brazil
The identities of the victims were not disclosed. Some 100 people who were isolated were also rescued, local authorities said.
According to Vale, out of its 427 workers at the site, about 150 workers are still uncounted for, Xinhua reports.
However, the total number of the missing could be higher, as local residents may be affected by the incident, too.
The dam collapsed Friday afternoon in Brumadinho Municipality and caused a mudslide, which destroyed Vale's offices and a residential area.
Some 100 firefighters and civil rescuers are working at the site. Another 200 are expected to reach the Brumadinho region in the early hours of Saturday.
At a press conference on Friday evening, Vale CEO Fabio Schvartsman said that the number of victims from the dam collapse was "terrible." He said he was "shaken" by the incident and committed to taking all necessary measures to find out what happened.
According to him, the dam was inactive and all reports attested that it was safe.
"It is important that we state that this is an inactive dam. It was not operational for over three years and was in the process of being decommissioned," he said.
A second dam overflowed but did not burst, Vale said. Hours later, the mudslide reached the nearby Paraopeba River.
State authorities decided to suspend the collection of water from the Paraopeba River as a precaution, though Vale said there is a minimum chance of contamination. | https://en.inform.kz/news/at-least-7-killed-150-missing-in-dam-collapse-in-brazil_a3491960/ | 2024-01-01T05:12:20Z |

Australian scientists tap crucial protein pointing to better stem cell development
Stem cells are vital for therapeutic treatments to repair and build human tissue including skin and muscles, with researchers constantly looking for ways to make the cells work better and worldwide cell demand far outstripping supply, the University of Sydney said in a statement explaining its researchers' work late Friday.
The researchers have since discovered "a way to generate more stem cells cheaply and quickly" using the tropoelastin protein, it said.
"Stem cells are increasingly being used as cell therapies for a range of diseases that cannot be reliably treated by conventional medicine including skeletal tissue injuries, heart attacks, degenerative diseases and organ failure," said university researcher Dr. Giselle Yeo, who co-authored the study published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America.
"Our discovery that tropoelastin dramatically promotes stem cell expansion and recruitment, and reliably preserves their ability to develop into different types of cells points to new ways of cost-effectively and efficiently growing these stem cells to address the increasing global demand," said Yeo.
"Such technologies can help significantly lower the currently prohibitive cost of many cell therapies."
Using human stem cells from donors, the researchers found that when small amounts of tropoelastin were applied it "encouraged more cells to be produced, creating a better environment for growth compared to other commonly used proteins for stem cell cultures', according to the university.
"Stem cells need a home to live and grow, and we've essentially created a nice environment for them live in," said the university's Professor Anthony Weiss, the other co-author of the study.
"Making stems cells requires a process a bit like cooking soup, the more complex the culture or soup', the more difficult it is to control the growth of the cells and the more expensive it is to make," said Weiss.
"Our technique simplifies the soup, tropoelastin makes the process to grow stem cells simpler, and cheaper."
The next stage of research would be to test the efficacy of tropoelastin inside the body, he said.
"We expect that once these stem cells are inside a living body they will actually help trigger repair, encouraging other cells to come to the damaged area and supporting the body to repair itself," said Weiss. | https://en.inform.kz/news/australian-scientists-tap-crucial-protein-pointing-to-better-stem-cell-development_a3494289/ | 2024-01-01T05:12:27Z |
'Har Ghar Jal': 5.33 crore rural houses yet to get tap water connection, says RTI reply
- Country:
- India
Around 5.33 crore houses in rural areas have not been covered yet under the Centre's ambitious mission to provide tap water connection to every house in every village of the country by 2024.
The situation is worst in Rajasthan, Jharkhand and West Bengal.
According to the data provided by the government, in the last four-and-a-half years, under the Jal Jeevan Mission-'Har Ghar Jal', tap water was supplied to 13,91,70,516 (13.91 crore) rural houses, while on 15 August 2019, the number of households with such tap water connections was only 3,23,62,838 (3.23 crore).
The total number of houses in rural areas of the country is 19,25,17,015 (19.25 crore), out of which tap water connections have been installed in 13,91,70,516 (13.91 crore) houses till 25 December 2023.
The Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Government of India has provided this data in response to an application filed under the Right to Information (RTI) Act.
The Centre has set a target of supplying tap water to every village household in the country by 2024, for which the 'Har Ghar Jal' scheme is being implemented in partnership with states.
According to the reply provided by the ministry, drinking water is a state subject and planning, design, approval and implementation of drinking water supply schemes is up to the states.
The Government of India has supported the states in this effort by providing technical and financial assistance.
Till August 15, 2019, only 16.81 per cent of the villages in the country had tap water in their homes, the proportion of which has now increased to 72.29 per cent by December 25, 2023. But about 28 per cent of the houses in rural areas are still waiting for tap water, the reply to the RTI query showed.
Under the 'Har Ghar Jal' campaign, the status of tap connections in houses in rural areas in Jharkhand, Rajasthan and West Bengal is the worst. While 47.57 per cent houses in Jharkhand have tap connections, only 45.33 and 40.69 per cent houses have tap connections in Rajasthan and West Bengal, respectively.
A total of 10,68,07,678 (10.68 crore) houses have been provided tap connections in the last four-and-a-half years since the launch of the Jal Jeevan Mission, according to the reply.
During the last five years, crores of rupees have been spent by the government to provide tap water connections in rural areas across the country.
The total amount spent on providing tap water connection was Rs 9,951 crore in 2019-20, Rs 10,916 crore in 2020-2021, Rs 40,010 crore in 2021-22, Rs 54,744 crore in 2022-23 and Rs 47,293 crore in 2023-24.
According to the information received from the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, under the mission, tap connections have been provided to every household in rural areas of nine states and Union Territories.
The states and Union Territories with 100 per cent tap connections comprise Goa, Andaman and Nicobar, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, Haryana, Telangana, Puducherry, Gujarat, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.
The states and Union Territories where more than 75 per cent tap connections have been installed in rural areas include Mizoram (98.35 per cent), Arunachal Pradesh (97.83 per cent, Bihar (96.42 per cent), Ladakh (90.12 per cent), Sikkim (88.54 per cent), Uttarakhand (87.79 per cent), Nagaland (82.82 per cent), Maharashtra (82.64 per cent), Tamil Nadu (78.59 per cent), Manipur (77.73 per cent), Jammu and Kashmir (75.64 per cent) and Tripura (75.25 per cent).

Ballet Manon to be staged at Astana Opera
- Mr. Burnett, it is the company's duty to maintain the ballet in its original form. How are the dancers coping with this task?
- At the moment there is an intensive rehearsal process. I am working with the Principal Dancers on all the little details. Manon is full of subtle but extremely important nuances. The Astana Opera has a strong ballet company. It is lovely to work with people with whom we have previously collaborated, because there is already the rapport that we have built last time I was here. The same dancers as two years ago are in the leading roles. It is great to come back to find them again with a little bit more age and experience. They have a certain maturity in their roles now. When the dancers have already done the part a couple of times onstage, they have lived the role, a little bit, have an experience of it, and thus, can actually start building a real character on top of the work that has been completed.
- Could you give your professional assessment of this particular version of the ballet Manon, which is running at the Astana Opera?
- Patricia Ruanne and I habitually stage this production around the world with different companies. I have very fond memories of the premiere here in Astana. Lady Deborah MacMillan was also very excited and very pleased with the results. Not only with the dancers in the company, but also with the work that went on into making the sets come alive. It is important to note that this is not easy; Nicholas Georgiadis' production is the trickiest, as well. Everybody did their work at a high level and we had a very good premiere. I am hoping now, when I see the performance on Wednesday, I will have the same sensation.
I would like to note that Lady MacMillan is also very happy that Altynai Asylmuratova has invited me back to come and work on the production and keep it in its original form. I am sure that the performance will be great, I recommend everyone to enjoy this masterpiece of 20th-century choreographic art.
- This time you arrived at the height of winter, have you already become accustomed to local climate? Are you comfortable working in the Astana Opera?
- So far so good. This is my first job of the year 2019. It is nice to come somewhere that's familiar, even though the weather is pretty cold. I made a calculation, but almost every year for the last four years I have started off the year in January in some similar cold place - in Astana, Moscow or in Helsinki. So, I am kind of used to my year starting cold and I don't mind, I like snow. It is amazing how well catered for this is in Astana: the minute the snow falls, it's gone. Here people are prepared for it. In Europe, not at all: everything stops, there are no planes, no buses, no trains, if there's heavy snowfall.
Let us remind that Kenneth MacMillan has created the libretto for the ballet based on the novel by Abbé Prévost L'Histoire du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut. Orchestration and Arrangement - Martin Yates. Set and Costume Designer - Nicholas Georgiadis. Staging - Karl Burnett and Patricia Ruanne. Set Coordinator - Cinzia Lo Fazio, Costume Coordinators - Natalia Stewart, Arassel Dosmuratova, Lighting Designer - Jacopo Pantani.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — Two suspects are still at large after a pursuit stretching across three counties, according to the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office.
Around 9:30 p.m. on Friday, December 29, officials say the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) announced that they were chasing a black Dodge Ram truck on I-85 northbound into Rowan County.
Rowan County deputies say they joined the group of several law enforcement agencies chasing the truck, which later crashed near the 1800 block of Lentz Road in China Grove.
Officials say the suspects jumped out of the truck and ran on foot. One suspect was quickly arrested; however, two other suspects could not be found despite a detailed search using drones, K-9s and a helicopter.
Queen City News has reached out to CMPD for more information.

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

KINSHASA, Congo — Congo's President Felix Tshisekedi has won reelection with more than 70% of the vote, the country's election commission said Sunday as opposition candidates and their supporters questioned the validity of the results.
The preliminary results of the Dec. 20 election were announced in the capital, Kinshasa, amid demands from the opposition and some civil society groups for the vote to be rerun due to massive logistical problems that they said had undermined the balloting.
Tshisekedi's overwhelming declared victory was likely to fuel those concerns. The second-place candidate was businessman Moise Katumbi, who received 18% of the vote, and Martin Fayulu, who received 5%, finished third. Nobel Peace Prize winner Denis Mukwege, a physician renowned for treating women brutalized by sexual violence in eastern Congo, got less than 1%.
Speaking from his headquarters in the capital after the results were announced, Tshisekedi thanked his supporters for giving him another five-year term.
"You believed in my commitment so that our country can find its place in the concert of nations," he said. "You have embraced my vision of society. I will spare no effort for more jobs, more purchasing power, more access to basic services at all levels."
About 18 million people voted in the election, which had a turnout of more than a 40%, according to the election commission. The results will be sent to the constitutional court for confirmation, election chief Denis Kadima said.
Candidates opposing the results have two days to submit their claims, and the constitutional court then has seven days to decide. The final results are expected on January 10, and the president is scheduled to be sworn in at the end of that month.
Congo has a history of disputed elections that can turn violent, and there's little confidence among many Congolese in the country's institutions. Before the results were announced Sunday, opposition candidates, including Katumbi, said they rejected the results and called on the population to mobilize.
The logistical problems included many polling stations being late in opening or not opening at all. Some lacked materials, and many voter cards had smudged ink that made them illegible.
Voting in the election had to be extended into a second day— something local observers and civil society organizations have called illegal — and parts of the country were still casting ballots five days after election day.
"If a foreign country considers these elections to be elections, there's a problem," Fayulu said at a news conference in the capital Sunday before the results were announced. "It's a farce, don't accept (the results)."
Violence was already flaring in parts of the country before the results were announced. In the eastern city of Goma, youth barricaded some main streets demanding a revote. Earlier this week, clashes erupted between some of Fayulu's supporters and police officers who fired tear gas at protesters who threw rocks and barricaded themselves inside the opposition headquarters.
"These elections are an example of fraud and ballot-box stuffing, flouting any transparent and credible electoral process and, moreover, democracy," said Bienvenu Matumo, a member of LUCHA, a local rights group.
Leading up to and during the vote, the election commission was accused of not being transparent enough. The East African Community said its election observer mission was not granted access to Congo, and the European Union canceled its mission after authorities did not authorize the use of satellite equipment by EU monitors.
Congo analysts say the thousands of observers that were in the country were unable to say whether the irregularities had an impact on the overall integrity of the results, leaving it to the election commission.
Tshisekedi already has spent much of his time in office trying to gain legitimacy after a disputed 2018 election that some observers said Fayulu had actually won.
Overall, Tshisekedi's track record has been spotty. He's struggled to stem violence in the east, a goal he campaigned on.
Conflict in eastern Congo has raged for decades, with more than 120 armed groups fighting for power, resources and to protect their communities. But the violence has spiked during Tshisekedi's term with the resurgence of the M23 rebels, who have displaced millions of people and seized swaths of land. The fighting prevented 1.5 million people from registering to vote.
Attempts to quell the violence with an East African Force comprised of troops from neighboring countries have failed. The force is pulling out, along with a U.N. peacekeeping mission that has been in Congo for decades.
Still, Tshisekedi's initiatives creating free health care for pregnant mothers and babies and providing free primary education has changed the lives of some people living in remote villages.
"My brothers can go to school now without my parents paying, which allows my father to put that money to buying food for the family," John Nlaza, a resident of a small village in Kongo Central province told The Associated Press.
Congolese analysts said it's important to view Tshisekedi's win with caution given the significant uncertainty of the presidential election's validity.
"The opposition's contesting of the results is not only a predictable reaction, but it also highlights the persistence of a deeper crisis of legitimacy at the top of the state," Tresor Kibangula, a political analyst at the Congolese research institute Ebuteli, said. "This battle will depend on (the opposition's) ability to mobilize the Congolese people for its cause, with a view to reversing the balance of power."

Watch Live: Miami to ring in 2024 with Big Orange, fireworks and music
MIAMI -- Thousands of people were expected to descend on Bayfront Park in Miami Sunday night to welcome in a new year albeit with weather that's cooler than many in South Florida are used to.
Nearly three dozen musical artists were set to perform during the countdown to 2024 at the city park, located at 301 Biscayne Blvd., including Willy Chirino, Arturo Sandoval, Albita, Álvaro Tadeo, Amaury Gutiérrez, Andrea Pousa and Aymée Nuviola.
A fireworks show is slated to begin at midnight and last for at least 20 minutes, and festival goers at the park will witness the return of "Big Orange," the 35-foot, 2,000-pound LED sculpture that will levitate to the top of the InterContinental Hotel as the old year gives way to the new.
In Miami Beach, the Fontainebleau -- known for grand New Year's Eve celebrations -- will welcome hip hop star Cardi B and DJ/producer Gryffin.
The duo are set to include a virtual ball drop and countdown to usher in 2024.
For other ways that South Floridians will spend on 12/31/23 as they welcome Jan. 1, 2024, go here.

On New Year’s Eve, DeSantis urges crowd to defy odds and help him ‘win the Iowa caucuses’
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — To underscore how much Iowa means to Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor was unwilling to put his campaigning there on hold even in the waning hours of 2023.
At a New Year’s Eve event in a Sheraton Hotel ballroom in West Des Moines, jeans and cowboy boots outnumbered tuxedos and cocktail dresses, and Miller Lite seemed more popular than champagne.
But the modesty of the affair, where roughly 200 people turned out for the last campaign event of the busy year in Iowa, belied its the importance to the host, who has wagered the future of his Republican bid for president on the leadoff Iowa caucuses, just two weeks away.
“Are you ready to work hard over these next two weeks and win the Iowa caucuses?” DeSantis asked supporters who turned out at the suburban hotel Sunday evening.
While Donald Trump prepares to return this week for a series of rallies, DeSantis did not leave Iowa alone during the week between Christmas and New Year’s. He campaigned in the suburbs of Des Moines, Cedar Rapids and Davenport, revisiting spots he had gone to in 2023 as part of his drive to touch all 99 of Iowa’s counties as a gesture of commitment to the leadoff nominating contests.
But Trump holds a large advantage in Iowa polls as well as a sophisticated campaign organization in the state, threatening to deny DeSantis the win he needs to justify his claim to be the leading alternative to the former president.
Appearing Sunday night with his wife, Casey, and their young children, DeSantis urged his audience to defy the odds. “I think we have an opportunity to just make a statement that in this country it’s we the people that ultimately decide these things,” he said. “Because I think you have a lot of media, they don’t think you even matter.”
DeSantis wasn’t alone in Iowa between Christmas and New Year’s, a period typically free from politics. The Jan. 15 caucuses’ earlier-than-usual spot on the election-year calendar lured former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley to eastern Iowa stops Friday and Saturday, as she competes with DeSantis as a Trump alternative.
Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy also stormed the state, trying to remain part of the conversation despite curtailing his advertising spending. Ramaswamy held more than two dozen Iowa events last week and over the weekend.
No one has more riding on Iowa than DeSantis, who reshuffled a campaign viewed early as national in scope after summer staff shakeups prompted by overspending and internal disagreements. He stood onstage Sunday evening in West Des Moines with Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds and evangelical Christian leader Bob Vander Plaats, who have risked their own influence by backing DeSantis.
DeSantis and his supporters asked the audience Sunday to ignore polls that show him trailing Trump appreciably.
“Everywhere I go the polls do not match up with reality,” Vander Plaats told the crowd. “Going up in northwest Iowa — heavy Trump country — they all say the same thing to me. They like what he did, but it’s time to turn the page.”
DeSantis has an unrelenting Iowa schedule ahead of him beginning early this week. Trump, who has drawn hundreds — even thousands — more to fewer events, plans his own blitz over the final two weeks, including in deeply conservative northwest Iowa.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — New details are becoming publicly available in the 1990 cold-case murder of Kim Thomas.
Less than two hours before the end of the year, the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) released DNA evidence following a judge’s order last March.
On July 27, 1990, officials say the then-32-year-old Kim Thomas was found dead inside her Cotswold home.
Authorities report that Thomas’ husband, Edward Friedland, was originally charged with her murder four years after her death; however, those charges were later dropped without prejudice.
In November 2022, CMPD reported DNA collected from, Marion Gales, a suspect in another murder matching Thomas’ case.

The Jammu and Kashmir Police has arrested one person from Tamil Nadu in connection with a financial fraud case that came to light in the union territory last week.
''Based on the statement of victims, technical and digital evidence, the SIT identified six accused persons, all residents outside the UT of Jammu and Kashmir. Different Police teams were constituted to arrest the identified accused persons. One accused person has been arrested by the SIT from Tamil Nadu and is taken on police remand,'' a police spokesman said on Sunday.
The spokesman said efforts were on to arrest the remaining accused persons also.
''The extent of financial loss to victims is being assessed by collection of related evidence and the statement of witnesses. All the company's account numbers have been debit-frozen, and further investigation is ongoing. Involvement of employees and local contacts of the main accused persons is being investigated,'' he said.
The spokesman said the social media influencers who promoted the company through various platforms were also examined and their involvement in crime is being investigated.
So far, Cyber Police Station Kashmir Zone Srinagar has received 27 complaints, he added. On December 19, police received a complaint that a bogus company operating under the name 'Curative Survey Private Limited' had scammed and cheated the unsuspecting public through a fraudulent website by promising them significant returns on their investments.
The company had deceived the subscribers which persuaded them to invest their hard-earned money with fake promises of returns. After misrepresenting and cheating, the company became unresponsive, leaving subscribers in the dark and leading to chaos, anguish, and protests.
During the course of investigation, police discovered that the company had opened six offices in the Kashmir Valley and one regional office in Jammu in the month of January'February 2023.
''All seven offices were subsequently searched, sealed and the incriminating evidence found in these offices was seized and sent to the FSL for analysis and expert opinion. Numerous employees of the company from across Jammu and Kashmir were identified, examined and their statements recorded,'' the spokesman said.

Beijing Winter Olympics to be the first games powered by green electricity
A signing ceremony was held between the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games and the State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC) on Wednesday, confirming the deal, Xinhua reports.
Electrical work for the Beijing Winter Olympics has achieved set targets to this point, and the first batch of Winter Olympics venues in Beijing and Hebei province are now qualified to purchase green electricity.
The use of green electricity is a concrete measure to implement the concept of a green Olympics and fulfill the commitment of the bid, said Zhang Jiandong, vice-mayor of Beijing and executive vice-president of the Beijing 2022 organizing committee.
The move will promote the extensive use of green energy in Beijing, co-host city Zhangjiakou, and other cities, he said.
As green electricity trading agents, the State Grid will speed up the construction of a smart grid to ensure a safe, reliable and green power supply for the Beijing Winter Olympics, said Xin Bao'an, general manager of SGCC. | https://en.inform.kz/news/beijing-winter-olympics-to-be-the-first-games-powered-by-green-electricity_a3494869/ | 2024-01-01T05:12:55Z |

‘IIOJK People Will Never Allow BJP To Snatch Away Their Identity' : Report
Faizan Hashmi Published January 01, 2024 | 09:30 AM
ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 1st Jan, 2024) The innocent people of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) will never allow BJP-RSS to snatch away their identity.
A report released by Kashmir Media Service, today, said the Muslim-majority status of the territory is under serious threat after the BJP-led Indian government’s Hindutva policies are being implemented one after another after August 2019.
It said after the decision of the Indian Supreme Court in Article 370 case, the imposition of new laws like domicile law, transferring more land to occupational troops, delimitation of assembly Constituencies and its separate seats to Pandits,
Schedule Castes, allotting land to Hindutva-backed business tycoons and curbing political activities in Kashmir valley are meant to change the demography of the territory. The real motive behind the revocation of Article 370 was to settle non-Kashmiris in the occupied territory, it maintained.
The report said since 5 August 2019, the Indian BJP government has taken a number of steps to disempower and disenfranchise Kashmiris. New Delhi has also changed the curriculum in schools in which the real history of the territory was removed.
Similarly, it said new land laws were introduced to seize land from locals and give it to outsiders.
It deplored that every Indian action was aimed at eroding the culture, language and religious identity of Muslims and weakening politically and economically local residents, mostly the Muslims of the territory.
The report said the Indian nefarious designs are also a flagrant violation of the United Nations resolutions on Kashmir.
The BJP regime, it said, is attaching properties, including lands and houses, of the people who are demanding their right to self-determination promised by the United Nation. Kashmiris are deprived of their jobs and other opportunities in their own land as Modi is a follower of a Hindu-supremacy ideology, it said,
The report said thousands of Kashmiris, including Hurriyat leaders, have been languishing illegally in jails of India and the territory and even senior APHC leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq is not being allowed to lead Friday prayers in the Srinagar Jamia Masjid.

Three more people were detained on Sunday in connection with a reported threat of an attack on the Cologne Cathedral over the holidays, German authorities said.
The detentions came only days after a 30-year-old Tajik man was detained in relation to an alleged plot to attack the world-famous cathedral by Islamic extremists in the western German city.
The suspects were detained in the western cities of Duisburg, Herne and Dueren in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, and their apartments were also searched there. No details about their identities were released.
All of the detained suspects — including the Tajik who was arrested last week — allegedly belong to a larger network that included people across Germany and in other European countries, according to Cologne police chief Johannes Hermanns, German news agency dpa reported.
The attack was supposed to have been carried out with a car, dpa reported.
North Rhine-Westphalia's Interior Minister Herbert Reul called the detentions a "success, for which I would like to thank the investigators''.
Islamic extremists have always been active, but they are currently more active than usual, Reul said, according to dpa. "The police always try to be a few steps ahead,'' he added.
Police had received information about a planned militant attack on Cologne Cathedral shortly before Christmas. The attack was to be carried out on New Year's Eve.
The city's world-famous cathedral has been under high protection for a week and the threat led to the closure of the house of worship for tourists since Christmas Eve.
Usually, more than 100,000 tourists visit the cathedral in the last week of the year. In recent days, only worshippers were allowed to enter the building for Mass, but they had to go through thorough security checks involving sniffer dogs.
On Sunday evening, around 1,000 police officers were on duty around the cathedral as revelers began celebrating the end of 2023.

The measures aimed to instill a sense of compliance with traffic laws among the public, contributing to overall community safety and well-being.

Belarus PM headed to Kazakhstan for Eurasian Intergovernmental Council meeting
MINSK. KAZINFORM - Belarus Prime Minister Sergei Rumas is off on a working visit to Kazakhstan to attend a meeting of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council, spokesman for the government Vladislav Sychevich told BelTA.
"During the meeting in Almaty, the heads of government are set to discuss 12 issues, including distribution of import customs duties between the budgets of the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), regulation of the alcohol market in the EAEU, application of anti-dumping measures against herbicides, originating from the European Union, the macroeconomic situation in the EAEU member states, mutual trade in 2018, and freedom of movement of goods, services and labor in the EAEU," Vladislav Sychevich said.
Sergei Rumas is scheduled to take part in the international forum "Digital Agenda in the Era of Globalization 2.0. Innovation Ecosystem of Eurasia", Kazinform has learnt from BelTA. | https://en.inform.kz/news/belarus-pm-headed-to-kazakhstan-for-eurasian-intergovernmental-council-meeting_a3493625/ | 2024-01-01T05:13:10Z |
Kylian Mbappe's Future To Dominate Transfer Window
Muhammad Rameez Published January 01, 2024 | 08:30 AM
Paris, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 1st Jan, 2024) The future of Kylian Mbappe and his protracted courtship by Real Madrid is expected to be the key theme of the transfer window that opens in Europe on Monday.
Arsenal's search for a proven goalscorer to spearhead their challenge for a first Premier League title since 2004 could also loom large.
Manchester City meanwhile are widely expected to let Kalvin Phillips leave the club, ending a disappointing stay for the former Leeds midfielder who has failed to make his mark at the world champions.
Much attention though will again focus on Mbappe, Paris Saint-Germain's lethal finisher and the man who a year ago scored a hat-trick for France in the World Cup final only to finish on the losing side.
Real Madrid are again the main suitor for the 25-year-old whose contract at PSG expires in June -- will the 14-time European champions finally get a commitment from the player they have been pursuing for years?
It is far from certain though as Mbappe triggers an extraordinary reaction in France, illustrated when President Emmanuel Macron intervened to persuade him to stay at PSG in June 2022 when a move to Real seemed almost cut and dried.
Real are not sitting on their hands though. Endrick, the latest Brazilian starlet, will join the club from Palmeiras when he turns 18 in July 2024 for a fee reported to be 72 million Euros.

Belarus urges EAEU to unite efforts for digital transformation
"We understand that digitalization by definition goes beyond the borders of any, even the most developed country. Long-term success is impossible without us joining efforts both at the national and interstate levels. The overall success of digital transformation projects in the EAEU depends on mutual efforts of all stakeholders, and their readiness to cooperate," said Sergei Rumas.
In practice, the EAEU member states are moving at different speeds, sometimes pursueing different strategies for transformations. "This concerns the development of both digital economy and legislation. We need to move in unison and to join efforts. To get a real synergistic effect, we need to work together on the cross-border and global IT market, use all the best that has been developed at the national level in each of the EAEU state," the Belarusian head of government said.
In his words, Belarus has embarked on the course of building an IT country. "For this, the country is working on its legal and regulatory environment, large-scale infrastructure projects, and technological and organizational transformation of its traditional industries. The country has already legislated the use of tokens and blockchain technology. The first CIS cryptocurrency exchange has gone online in Belarus," said Sergei Rumas.
The prime minister stressed that in terms of software export per capita, Belarus is ahead of countries such as the United States, China, and India. "This is largely thanks to the digital economy ordinance signed by the Belarusian president at the end of 2017. As a result we saw an explosive growth of resident companies: the Hi-Tech Park welcomed more companies last year than in the entire 12 years of its existence. Now the number of the resident companies at the Hi-Tech Park is more than 450," Sergei Rumas said.
According to Sergei Rumas, the HTP makes an emphasis on artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. More than 80 companies in the HTP work in these areas. "We have set a target to become one of the key artificial intelligence development centers of Eastern and Central Europe. Frankly speaking, the government is satisfied with the first results of the presidential ordinance [on digital economy]. As a result, Belarus ranks 32nd among 176 countries on the ICT Development Index," the prime minister said, Kazinform has learnt from BelTA. | https://en.inform.kz/news/belarus-urges-eaeu-to-unite-efforts-for-digital-transformation_a3494047/ | 2024-01-01T05:13:17Z |
David Warner Retires From One-day Cricket Ahead Of Test Farewell
Sumaira FH Published January 01, 2024 | 08:20 AM
Sydney, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 1st Jan, 2024) Dynamic Australian opener David Warner called time Monday on one-day international cricket ahead of his farewell Test against Pakistan this week, but kept the door open to play the 2025 Champions Trophy if needed.
The 37-year-old will pad up in his 112th and final Test in his home city Sydney on Wednesday, having plundered 8,695 runs at an average of 44.58, with 26 centuries and 36 half-centuries.
At a press conference at the Sydney Cricket Ground, he also announced his retirement from ODIs, where he has been a fixture since his debut in 2009, helping the team win the World Cup in 2015 and 2023.
"I've got to give back to the family and also on the back of that I'm definitely retiring from one-day cricket as well," he said.
"That was something that I had said through the (2023) World Cup, get through that, and winning it in India, I think that's a massive achievement.
"So I'll make that decision today, to retire from those forms, which does allow me to go and play some other (Twenty20) leagues around the world and sort of get the one-day team moving forward a little bit.
"I know there's a Champions Trophy coming up," he added. "If I'm playing decent cricket in two years' time and I'm around and they need someone, I'm going to be available."
The Champions Trophy has not been played since 2017, but is set to be resurrected in 2025 in Pakistan. Traditionally 50-over cricket, reports have said there is a push underway to make it T20.
Warner leaves ODIs after 161 matches, smashing 6,932 runs at an average of 45.30, with 22 centuries. Among Australians, only Ricky Ponting with 30 has scored more one-day tons.
He will continue to be available in the T20 format, with the 2024 World Cup in the Caribbean and United States a target.
Warner's decision to depart one-dayers means Australia will need a new opener for their three-match series against the West Indies in February, which follows a two-Test series in Adelaide and Brisbane.
- Vital role -
Ahead of his ODI announcement, Cricket Australia chief Nick Hockley paid tribute to Warner's "amazing Test career".
"We are all extremely grateful for his immense contribution to this form of the game," he said in a statement.
"David's wonderful attacking style not only played a vital role in many Australian victories, it also enthralled and entertained fans across the world and drew many to Test cricket."
A larger-than-life character, Warner was described by Australia coach Andrew McDonald over the weekend as "probably our greatest ever three-format player".
But he will forever be remembered for the role he played in the notorious ball-tampering scandal of 2018 in South Africa.
Along with skipper Steve Smith, he was banned for a year for his part in the third Test debacle in Cape Town that saw Cameron Bancroft use sandpaper to scuff the ball before a crude attempt to conceal the evidence down his trousers.
Reflecting on his Test career, Warner said it was a "fairytale ending" to hang up his gloves in Sydney.
"I would have never imagined opening the batting for New South Wales or anyone to be honest when I first started but to be here, 112 Tests I think, I still pinch myself," he said.
He added that he would like to be remembered as someone "authentic and honest" who has "gone out there and given it his all".

Three terrorists killed by security forces in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province
- Country:
- Pakistan
At least three terrorists were killed when they were trying to infiltrate the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Sunday, ISPR said.
The security forces picked up the movement of the three terrorists when they were trying to infiltrate the border in Bajaur tribal district's Batwar area and shot them dead after an exchange of fire, the army's media wing said.
Weapons, ammunition and explosives were recovered from the possession of the killed terrorists, the ISPR said.
In another incident that took place late Saturday night, terrorists from inside Afghanistan opened fire on a Pakistani border post in the Spinwam area of North Waziristan district.
The troops responded by causing considerable losses to the terrorists.
A soldier was also killed during the exchange of fire.
Pakistan has consistently been asking the interim Afghan government to ensure effective border management on their side of the border.

US Navy helicopters fire at Yemen's Houthi rebels and kill several in latest Red Sea shipping attack
- Country:
- Lebanon
The US military said on Sunday that its forces opened fire on Houthi rebels after they attacked a cargo ship in the Red Sea, killing several of them in an escalation of the maritime conflict linked to the war in Gaza.
In a series of statements, the US Central Command said the crew of the USS Gravely destroyer first shot down two anti-ship ballistic missiles fired at the Singapore-flagged Maersk Hangzhou late Saturday, after the vessel reported getting hit by a missile earlier that evening as it sailed through the Southern Red Sea.
Four small boats then attacked the same cargo ship with small arms fire early Sunday and rebels tried to board the vessel, the US Navy said.
Next, the USS Gravely and helicopters from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier responded to the Maersk Hangzhou's distress call and issued verbal warnings to the attackers, who responded by firing on the helicopters.
"The US Navy helicopters returned fire in self-defence," sinking three of the four boats and killing the people on board while the fourth boat fled the area, the US Central Command said. No harm to US personnel or equipment, or casualties from the cargo ship, were reported.
The Houthis acknowledged that 10 of their fighters were killed in the confrontation and warned of consequences.
The events surrounding the Maersk Hangzhou represented the 23rd illegal attack by the Houthis on international shipping since November 19, the Central Command said. It was the first time the US Navy said its personnel had killed Houthi fighters since the Red Sea attacks started.
For over a month, Iran-backed Houthis have claimed attacks on ships in the Red Sea that they say are either linked to Israel or heading to Israeli ports. They say their attacks aim to end the Israeli air-and-ground offensive in the Gaza Strip that was triggered by the Palestinian militant group Hamas' October 7 attack in southern Israel.
However, the links to the ships targeted in the rebel assaults have grown more tenuous as the attacks continue.
The Denmark-based shipping giant Maersk, owner of Maersk Hangzhou, said Sunday it would suspend shipping through the Red Sea again after the two attacks on its freighter.
"In light of the (most recent) incident — and to give time to investigate the details of the incident and assess the security situation further — it has been decided that all transits through the area will be postponed for the next 48 hours," Maersk was quoted as saying by the Danish public broadcaster DR.
On Saturday, the top commander of US naval forces in the Middle East said Houthi rebels have shown no signs of ending their "reckless" attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea even as more nations join the international maritime mission to protect vessels in the vital waterway and trade traffic begins to pick up.
Earlier this month, Washington announced the establishment of a new international coalition to protect vessels traveling through the waterway. The United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain are also part of the new maritime security mission.
Since the Pentagon announced Operation Prosperity Guardian to counter the attacks just over 10 days ago, 1,200 merchant ships have travelled through the Red Sea region, and none had been hit by drone or missile strikes, Vice Adm. Brad Cooper told The Associated Press in an interview on Saturday.

Fireworks, Weapons Light Skies As World Enters 2024
Fahad Shabbir (@FahadShabbir) Published January 01, 2024 | 09:10 AM
New York, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 1st Jan, 2024) Fireworks illuminated skies over Paris, Rio and Sydney to celebrate the entry to 2024, while in Israel, Gaza and Ukraine, rockets and strikes marked the year's earliest hours.
Much of the world's population -- now more than eight billion -- is hoping to shake off high living costs and global tumult in 2024, which will bring elections concerning half the world's population and the Paris Olympics.
In New York City, thousands of visitors lined up for a chance to see the annual dropping of a giant illuminated ball in Times Square.
Nearby stallholders hawked vuvuzelas and 2024-branded hats as police fanned out across central Manhattan, towing suspicious cars, closing roads and manning a ring of steel screening would-be revelers.
Hours earlier, more than a million partygoers had packed in around the harbor in Sydney, the self-proclaimed "New Year's capital of the world," to watch eight tonnes of fireworks.
Pyrotechnics also illuminated the skies in Auckland, Hong Kong, Manila and Jakarta.
Nudist bathers wearing Santa hats waded into the mild waters of southern France, while revelers danced in the streets in Greece's Thessaloniki.
In Denmark, popular Queen Margrethe II, Europe's longest-serving monarch, chose her New Year's Eve address to announce her coming abdication.
The 83-year-old monarch will step down in favor of her son, Crown Prince Frederik, after 52 years on the throne.
The last 12 months brought "Barbenheimer" to the box office, a proliferation of human-seeming artificial intelligence tools, and a world-first whole-eye transplant.
India outgrew China as the world's most populous country, and then became the first nation to land an unmanned craft on the Moon's south pole.
It was also the hottest year since records began in 1880, with a spate of climate-fuelled disasters striking across the world.
Fans bade adieu to "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll" Tina Turner, "Friends" actor Matthew Perry, hell-raising Anglo-Irish songsmith Shane MacGowan, and master dystopian novelist Cormac McCarthy.
- Rebuilding -
2023 will be remembered for war in the middle East, after Hamas's unprecedented October 7 raids on southern Israel and Israel's ferocious reprisals on Gaza.
The United Nations estimates that almost two million Gazans have been displaced since Israel's siege began, or about 85 percent of the peacetime population.
With once-bustling Gaza City neighborhoods reduced to rubble, there were few places left to mark the new year -- and fewer loved ones to celebrate with.
"It was a black year full of tragedies," said 37-year-old Abed Akkawi, who fled the city with his wife and three children to a UN shelter in Rafah, southern Gaza.
"God willing this war will end, the new year will be a better one, and we will be able to return to our homes and rebuild them, or even live in a tent on the rubble," he told AFP.
In Tel Aviv, Israel, 24-year-old Ran Stahl preferred to work his shift at a wine bar during New Year's Eve, saying he didn't have the heart to celebrate.
"The minute I start dancing, the sadness and mourning come back," said Stahl, whose friend died at the trance music festival during Hamas's October 7 attack.
Some in Vladimir Putin's Russia were also weary of conflict, this time in Ukraine.
"In the new year I would like the war to end, a new president, and a return to normal life," said 55-year-old theatre decorator and Moscow resident Zoya Karpova.
But Putin himself remained bullish in his New Year's Eve address, vowing that Russia "will never back down".
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's New Year's Eve address, after nearly two years of war, was defiant.
Ukrainian pilots were mastering the F-16 warplanes supplied by their allies, he said. In 2024, "we will definitely see them in our skies. So that our enemies can certainly see what our real wrath is."
Russia would also feel the full force of Ukraine's domestic arms production, he added, including at least a million drones.
In Rome, Pope Francis prayed for the victims of conflicts around the globe, including the people of Sudan and the "martyred Rohingya" of Myanmar.
"At the end of a year, have the courage to ask how many lives have been torn apart in armed conflicts, how many deaths?" the 87-year-old pontiff said after his Angelus prayer in St Peter's Square.
"And how much destruction, how much suffering, how much poverty? Those who have an interest in these conflicts, listen to the voice of conscience."
- To the polls -
Several pivotal elections are scheduled in 2024, with the political fate of more than four billion people to be decided in contests that will shape Russia, Britain, the European Union, India, Indonesia, Mexico, South Africa, Venezuela and a host of other nations.
But one election in particular promises global consequences.
In the United States, Democrat Joe Biden, 81, and Republican Donald Trump, 77, appear set for a November rerun of their divisive 2020 presidential contest.
Biden marked the new year by proclaiming optimism for the US economy -- and his well-known love for chocolate-chip ice cream.
In a televised appearance ahead of the New York celebrations he touted his country's resilience after the pandemic, announcing that the American people "are back."
As the incumbent, Biden has at times appeared to show his age and even supporters worry about the toll of another bruising four years in office.
There are at least as many concerns about a Trump return.
He faces prosecution on several counts, and 2024 could determine whether the bombastic self-proclaimed billionaire goes to the Oval Office or jail.

Three held for robbery at east Delhi jewellery store
- Country:
- India
Three people were arrested for allegedly robbing a jewellery shop in east Delhi's Shahdara area, police said on Sunday.
The accused have been identified as Manish alias Monu (28), a resident of Meerut in Uttar Pradesh, Manish (30), a resident of Haryana, and Abhishek (19), a resident of Loni in UP, they said.
Police said complainant Prem Rawat stated that he has been working at Deepak Jewelers shop in Bholanath Nagar for the last 25 years.
On Wednesday around 4.15 pm when he was sitting in the jewellery shop, a person came to the shop wearing a monkey cap and asked him to show a ring. Soon after, he brandished a gun and threatened him to sit quietly, a senior police officer said.
Meanwhile, two more men entered the shop wearing monkey caps and helmet. The person in the helmet was in khaki clothes and sprayed black paint on the gate of the shop. They threatened the complainant by showing the weapon, pushed him and robbed jewelery items on display, the officer said.
They fled the spot on a bike. The complainant tried to follow them, one of them fired on him, police said.
During investigation, it was revealed that three accused carrying arms had committed the crime, and they were on a bike whose number plate was tampered with, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Shahdara) Rohit Meena said.
After analysing more than 300 CCTV cameras, the team zeroed routes to Bheta village, Ghaziabad in UP, police said.
Police laid a trap and nabbed accused Manish and Abhishek. On their instance, the third accused -- Manish -- was nabbed from Bahadurgarh in Haryana, Meena said.
During interrogation, Monu disclosed that they committed robbery by showing fear of killing with firearms. He used red tape and changed the look of his motorcycle before committing this robbery to avoid being detected.
He had also purchased new khakhi cloths, monkey caps and gloves to hide their faces, police said.
He also conducted recce of the victim's shop. He wore khaki pant, khaki jacket and black leather shoes to mislead the police and to avoid searching by pretending to be police personnel, they said.
He parked his motorcycle at a place belonging to one of his known persons in Bheta Hajipur of Ghaziabad. On the day of the incident, he came from Bheta and called two of his associates near Shahdara Metro Station. Manish came by metro and Abhishek came by train from Behta, police said.
On Wednesday, all three assembled near Shahdara Metro Station and committed robbery. Later, they fled the spot and when the complainant tried to follow them, one of them fired at him, they said.
The robbed jewellery, two pistols and one bike were recovered from their possession, police added.

Five Killed In Attacks On Donetsk, Odesa: Local Authorities
Fahad Shabbir (@FahadShabbir) Published January 01, 2024 | 08:20 AM
Kyiv, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 1st Jan, 2024) Five people were killed in attacks on Ukraine's southern Odesa region and the eastern city of Donetsk, local authorities said on Monday as the conflict between Moscow and Kyiv escalates.
"As of 2:00 (2300 GMT), there were preliminary 13 wounded and four dead," Denis Pushilin, the Russian-installed head of Donetsk said on Telegram.
He described the attack as "massive shelling from multiple launch rocket systems".
In Odesa, local governor Oleg Kiper said one person died in a Russian drone attack, adding three others were wounded.
Several buildings were hit and damaged by "downed drones", he said on Telegram.
"Fires broke out in residential buildings in different areas of the city," Kiper said.
The attacks are the latest in a wave of salvos since Friday, which saw the deadliest attack on civilians in Russia since the start of the conflict in February 2022.
Over the weekend, the two sides traded blame for the pummelling of civilian areas in their shared frontier region.

Israeli indicted for impersonating soldier, stealing weapons in Gaza war
The top-rated Channel 12 TV aired a photograph of what it said was the 35-year-old, in full battle gear, posing with other soldiers alongside Netanyahu at a helicopter landing site. An Israeli official confirmed that Yifrah had posed with Netanyahu, but said the prime minister was never at risk due to “several layers of security at the site”.
Israeli prosecutors filed criminal charges on Sunday against a man accused of impersonating a soldier to join the Gaza war, of stealing munitions and, according to media, of posing for a frontline picture with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Israel was blindsided by an Oct. 7 cross-border rampage by Hamas militants, with security forces often organising themselves spontaneously in the field to repel the infiltrators and mount a counter-offensive. According to the indictment brought in Tel Aviv District Court, defendant Roi Yifrah never served in the Israeli military but nonetheless managed to make his way into the war zones by pretending to be a member of an elite Shin Bet combat unit.
Shin Bet is Israel's domestic intelligence agency. The top-rated Channel 12 TV aired a photograph of what it said was the 35-year-old, in full battle gear, posing with other soldiers alongside Netanyahu at a helicopter landing site.
An Israeli official confirmed that Yifrah had posed with Netanyahu, but said the prime minister was never at risk due to "several layers of security at the site". The Prime Minister's Office did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
The ruse "facilitated (Yifrah's) access to firearms, ammunition and military and police equipment," the indictment said, adding that a purloined haul found in Yifrah's home included an assault rifle, various kinds of bullets, smoke grenades and holsters. The five counts against him, including aggravated fraud and larceny, could amount to a maximum prison sentence of 36 years. But Yifrah's lawyer argued that the defendant should be lauded.
"My client is a medic who ... saved lives under fire, while risking his life and eliminating terrorists," the lawyer, Eitan Sabag, told Channel 12, adding that "the defendant, under the circumstances, is the State of Israel - not Roi Yifrah".

COPENHAGEN/DUBAI/CAIRO, Dec 31 (Reuters) - I ranian-backed Houthi militants attacked a Maersk container vessel with missiles and small boats, prompting the company to pause all sailing through the Red Sea for 48 hours, Maersk said on Sunday. The crew of the Maersk Hangzhou crew was safe and there was no indication of fire onboard the vessel, which continued its journey north to Port Suez, the shipping company said.
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 U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said its helicopters sank three of four boats after responding to distress calls, with the fourth vessel fleeing.
White House national security spokesperson John Kirby declined to say what options are on or off the table when asked on ABC's "Good Morning America" if Washington would consider a preemptive strike. "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."
The attack on Maersk Hangzhou was the latest by Houthi militants in Yemen, who have been targeting vessels in the Red Sea since November to show their support for Palestinian Islamist group Hamas fighting Israel in Gaza. The attacks have disrupted world trade, with major shipping companies taking 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.
In response, Maersk 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. On Sunday, Maersk, one of the world's major cargo shippers, said it would delay all transits through the area for 48 hours, after the Maersk Hangzhou was struck by a missile at around 1730 GMT on Saturday 55 nautical miles southwest of Al Hodeidah, Yemen.
A U.S. warship shot down another two anti-ship ballistic missiles fired at the ship, CENTCOM said. Efforts to ward off the four boats at around 0330 GMT on Sunday as the attackers sought to board the vessel involved the ship's security team as well as helicopters from the USS Eisenhower and USS Gravely, Maersk and CENTCOM said.
The Singapore-flagged Maersk Hangzhou with capacity to carry 14,000 containers was en route from Singapore. 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.

German officials detain 3 more suspects in connection with a Cologne Cathedral attack threat

- Germany
Three more people were detained Sunday in connection with a reported threat of an attack on the Cologne Cathedral over the holidays, German authorities said.
The detentions came only days after a 30-year-old Tajik man was detained in relation to an alleged plot to attack the world-famous cathedral by Islamic extremists in the western German city.
The suspects were detained in the western cities of Duisburg, Herne and Dueren in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, and their apartments were also searched there. No details about their identities were released.
All of the detained suspects — including the Tajik who was arrested last week — allegedly belong to a larger network that included people across Germany and in other European countries, according to Cologne police chief Johannes Hermanns, German news agency dpa reported.
The attack was supposed to have been carried out with a car loaded with explosives, local media reported.
Cologne police said in a Sunday news conference that the cathedral's underground parking garage had been searched and that explosives detection dogs had been deployed — but nothing was found. Since the early morning, the entrance and exit of the underground garage had also been checked for suspicious activity.
North Rhine-Westphalia's Interior Minister Herbert Reul called the latest detentions a "success, for which I would like to thank the investigators''.
Islamic extremists have always been active, but they are currently more active than usual and the Catholic cathedral was a prime target for them, Reul said, according to dpa. "The police always try to be a few steps ahead,'' he added.
Police had received information about a planned militant attack on Cologne Cathedral shortly before Christmas. The attack was to be carried out on New Year's Eve.
The city's world-famous cathedral has been under high protection for a week and the threat led to the closure of the house of worship for tourists since Christmas Eve.
Usually, more than 100,000 tourists visit the cathedral in the last week of the year. In recent days, only worshippers were allowed to enter the building for Mass, but they had to go through thorough security checks involving sniffer dogs.
On Sunday evening, around 1,000 police officers were on duty around the cathedral as revelers began celebrating the end of 2023.
Reul, the state interior minister, encouraged people to celebrate and not stay at home despite the attack threat.
"Islamist terror is still a threat on German streets," he said. "We have often suppressed that. And whenever there is a one-off event like this, we are all very electrified again." However, it would be wrong to panic, said Reul. "I say: Celebrate! Behave yourselves! Take care — and enjoy the transition into the new year."

Get ready for an exciting week of stargazing and astronomy as we kick off the new year. The Quadrantid meteor shower takes center stage, offering a dazzling display of “shooting stars.” To enhance your viewing experience, the Last Quarter Moon will create a backdrop of dark skies. However, keep in mind that clear skies can be elusive. On a different note, this week also marks a significant event for Earth – Perihelion Day.
Tuesday, January 2: Earth at Perihelion—A ‘Super Sun?’
As our planet orbits the sun, its path is not a perfect circle. Today, we reach “Perihelion Day,” the closest point to the sun for the entire year. The term “Perihelion” combines the Greek words “peri” meaning near and “helios” representing the sun. At a distance of 91.4 million miles (147,100,632 km), Earth stands closest to the sun today. For comparison, on July 5, during aphelion, Earth will be 94.5 million miles (152,099,968 km) far away. This elliptical orbit will make the sun appear slightly larger, somewhat resembling a “supermoon.” Use your solar eclipse glasses to observe the sun today, preparing for the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8.
Wednesday-Thursday, January 3-4: Quadrantid Meteor Shower
Although the Quadrantid meteor shower may not be as famous as others, it shouldn’t be overlooked. Known for producing approximately 120 shooting stars per hour at its peak, this meteor shower originates from the asteroid or possibly a “rock comet” called 2003 EH1. The Quadrantids offer a special treat with their bright fireball meteors, which can appear anywhere in the sky. While their radiant point is close to the handle of the Big Dipper (Quadrans Muralis), they can be seen across different constellations. This elusive constellation was once recognized but was later removed from the official list by the International Astronomical Union. Situated between Bootes and Draco, near the end of the Big Dipper’s handle, Quadrantid meteor shower is a must-observe phenomenon.
Remember to consult online planetariums for precise information tailored to your location, such as Stellarium or The Sky Live. Check the times for planet-rise/set, sunrise/set, and moonrise/set to plan your stargazing adventures accordingly.
Wishing you clear skies and unforgettable encounters with the wonders of the night sky!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is Perihelion Day?
Perihelion Day refers to the moment when the Earth is closest to the sun in its elliptical orbit. It occurs once a year and marks the shortest distance between our planet and the sun.
2. How many shooting stars can I expect to see during the Quadrantid meteor shower?
At its peak, the Quadrantid meteor shower can produce approximately 120 shooting stars per hour. These meteors are known for their stunning fireball displays.
3. Why was the constellation Quadrans Muralis removed from the official list?
The International Astronomical Union developed an official list of constellations, and Quadrans Muralis was not included. While it once held significance, it was later deemed unnecessary and removed from the list.

Jackson community blames poor bridge quality for death of missing man
JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - For eight days, 54-year-old Arthur Woods was missing and those in the neighborhood had no idea where he could have gone.
That is until Woods’ vehicle was found in a creek near a bridge that locals consider life-threatening.
“It didn’t take someone to lose their life to fix that bridge,” Reverend P.J. Williams, Pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Jackson, said.
Reverend Williams says the bridge near his church on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive has been a concern in his community for years.
“It had been torn down so many times, even a truck ran into the bridge. It stayed in about a month or two and people started living in the truck. And you can see this fence right here, cars ran and hit it. They never did fix that, and that happened about three years ago,” Williams explained.
The bridge, which lacks barriers, signs, or warnings, is a hazard that Williams believes caused the death of Woods on Friday, December 22.
“The car went off and he didn’t have no way to stop him. He didn’t have a chance,” Williams said.
Friday, after a vehicle was found in the creek, Williams says Jackson Police called him asking for any video surveillance that could help locate Woods.
Saturday, Woods was found downstream in the creek, away from his car.
Ward 3 Councilman Kenneth Stokes also believes the lack of barriers in the area contributed to Woods’ death.
“Someone needs to be held liable for the death of the young man here at this bridge. Dr. Williams and others have been fighting for years, trying to get the city, the county, and the state to come and put the proper railings and a new culvert for this bridge,” Stokes said.
While the bridge is located inside city limits and was initially built by the city over 20 years ago, Councilman Stokes claims repairs are Hinds County’s responsibility.
“On every car tag, you have road and bridge money that’s supposed to be used to repair bridges like this. And it’s not being done and it’s not been done properly,” Stokes explained.
“They need to come out and do something. And maybe now, but it didn’t take someone to lose a life,” Williams said.
Woods’ death is still an ongoing investigation.

FINAL: Packers keep playoff hopes alive with 33-10 win over Vikings
MINNEAPOLIS, Min. (WSAW) - In a battle where the winner stays alive in the playoff race, and the loser goes home, the Packers survive with a dominant 33-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings.
Anders Carlson kicked off the scoring with a 34-yard field goal just past halfway through the first. Seconds later, Vikings rookie quarterback Jaren Hall threw an interception to Carrington Valentine, tipped off the hands of tight end Johnny Mundt. The Packers offense immediately responded with a 33-yard touchdown toss from Jordan Love to Jayden Reed, making it 10-0 with five left in the first.
The Vikings finally responded with a 54-yard field goal from kicker Greg Joseph, making it a seven point game. But Jordan Love would one-up the field goal with his legs, rushing and diving in for a two-yard score to create a 17-3 lead. After a Karl brooks fumble recovery, the Packers brought in one last score via another Jayden Reed receiving touchdown, this time for 25 yards.
The third quarter remained quiet on the scoreboard until the final minute, with a wide open Bo Melton bringing in Love’s fourth total touchdown on the day. After a 30-3 drought, the Vikings finally put up their first touchdown of the game with a six-yard Johnny Mundt reception from Nick Mullens. Anders Carlson would pad on his second field with six minutes left in the game to seal the Packers 23 point victory.
Along with his four total touchdowns, Love shined bright in the primetime lights completing 24/33 passes for 256 yards and no turnovers. Jaren Hall finished 5/10 for 67 yards and an interception before being benched for Mullens, who threw completes 13/22 passes for 113 yards and a touchdown. Before exiting the game with a chest injury, Jayden Reed finished with six catches for 89 yards and his two touchdowns. Along with a potent passing attack, Aaron Jones put on a vintage performance with 20 carries for 121 yards. Despite no Jaire Alexander, All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson put up just five catches for 59 yards.
The Packers will host the Chicago Bears next Sunday at 3:25 C.T., where a win over the fierce rival will put them in the playoffs.
