Makati City Rings in 2024 with Regine Velasquez-led New Year’s Bash
As 2023 draws to a close, Makati City, the heart of Metro Manila, is set to host a grand New Year’s Eve celebration, headlined by none other than “Asia’s Songbird”, Regine Velasquez. This highly anticipated event is part of an array of festivities happening across the Philippines to usher in 2024.
Makati’s NYE: A Blend of Nostalgia and Future
The city’s New Year’s Eve bash titled ‘Nostalgia Meets the Future’ aims to transform Makati Avenue into a vibrant fusion of past memories and future-forward fun. The event is a nod to 1999’s grand New Year’s Eve celebration, the first of its kind in the country, which also featured Velasquez. Now, two decades later, fans will once again have the opportunity to be serenaded by the beloved songstress.
A Star-studded Lineup
Joining Regine Velasquez on stage are P-Pop sensation SB19, rock band Sponge Cola, rapper Al James, and musical theatre powerhouses Gab Pangilinan and Myke Salomon. This star-studded lineup promises a night of memorable performances that span across generations. Adding a futuristic touch to the event, attendees can expect immersive 3D visuals, a breathtaking pyrotechnics display, and infectious beats by DJs Brian Cua and Mike Lavet.
More than Just a Concert
But the night is not just about music. Revelers can fuel their party spirit with Makati’s finest culinary offerings from partnering establishments throughout the day. The iconic Ayala Avenue is set to come alive with a stunning 3D stage, towering LED screens, and a celebration of Filipino talent that extends from established icons to rising stars. As the clock ticks towards midnight, the sky over Rockwell Center will light up with a dazzling fireworks display, marking the start of a new year.
The New Year’s Eve celebration in Makati underscores the city’s vibrant culture and the Filipino tradition of welcoming the new year with joyous festivities. It is a testament to the resilience and spirit of the Filipino people, who, despite the challenges of the year, choose to ring in the new year with hope, unity, and celebration.

Many months of war predicted as Netanyahu defies US talk of Palestinian rule
By Nidal al-Mughrabi, Arafat Barbakh and Dan Williams
Cairo/Gaza/Jerusalem: Israeli jets have intensified attacks on central Gaza, residents and medics said, as battles raged through the rubble of towns and refugee camps in a war Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said would take “many more months” to end.
Netanyahu’s comments signal no let-up in a campaign that has killed many thousands and levelled much of Gaza, while his vow to restore Israeli control over the enclave’s border with Egypt raises new questions over an eventual two-state solution.
The Israeli military will release some reservists who were called up to fight Hamas in Gaza, a move it said would help the economy as the country prepares for a prolonged war.
Airstrikes pounded al-Maghazi and al-Bureij in the centre of Gaza, killing 10 people in one house and driving more to flee to Rafah on the border with Egypt from front lines where Israeli tanks are battling Hamas fighters.
Rockets fired from Gaza raced toward central Israel overnight, triggering sirens throughout the central and southern parts of the country. Israeli media carried footage of numerous interceptions. There were no reports of any direct hits.
Hamas’ armed wing said the barrage was in response to “massacres against civilians” in Gaza.
As 2023 drew to a close, Palestinians in Gaza prayed for a ceasefire but had little hope the new year would be better.
“Tonight the sky in world countries will be lit by firecrackers, and joyful laughs will fill the air. In Gaza our skies are now filled with Israeli missiles and tank shells that land on innocent, homeless civilians,” said Zainab Khalil, 57, a resident from northern Gaza now in Rafah.
The stated goal of Israel’s military is to eliminate Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that launched a surprise cross-border assault on Israeli towns on October 7, killing 1200 people, mostly civilians, and grabbing 240 hostages.
Israel’s air and artillery bombardment has killed more than 21,800 people according to health authorities in Hamas-run Gaza, with many more feared dead in the rubble, and pushed nearly all of its 2.3 million people from their homes.
Palestinian health ministry casualty figures do not differentiate between fighters and civilians but the ministry has said that 70 per cent of Gaza’s dead are women and people under 18. Israel disputes Palestinian casualty figures and says it has killed 8000 fighters.
Israel blockaded most food, fuel and medicine after the October 7 attack. It said on Sunday that it was ready to let ships from some Western countries deliver aid directly to Gaza’s shores after security checks in Cyprus.
Gemma Connell, an official with the UN humanitarian agency OCHA, said that many of the tens of thousands of people fleeing to Rafah had no possessions and nowhere to sleep.
“I just am so fearful that the amount of deaths that we’ve been seeing is going to increase exponentially both because of this renewed offensive but also because of these conditions which are literally unbelievable,” she said.
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 last week, when he said he would not resign despite opinion polls showing his government is broadly unpopular and defended his security record despite the October 7 attack, indicate that there will be no easing any time soon.
Netanyahu said the “the war is at its height” and Israel would have to retake control of Gaza’s border with Egypt, an area now crammed with civilians who have fled the carnage across the rest of the enclave.
Retaking the border could also constitute a de facto reversal of Israel’s 2005 withdrawal from Gaza, raising new questions over the future of the enclave and prospects for a Palestinian state.
Washington said Israel should allow a Palestinian government to control Gaza when the conflict is over.
“We just take a fundamentally different view here in terms of what post-conflict Gaza needs to look like,” White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said on ABC television.
Israel’s hard-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich fuelled concerns about the offensive’s aims on Sunday by calling for Palestinians to leave Gaza and make way for Israelis who could “make the desert bloom”.
That clashed with the official Israeli government position that Gazans will be able to return to their homes. Smotrich and other hardline coalition ministers have been excluded from the core war cabinet but have pushed to take part in decisions about the conflict.
In his last comments as Israeli foreign minister before switching to the energy portfolio on Sunday, Eli Cohen said the border was the likely source of weaponry Hamas had obtained over recent years.
Senior Palestinian Authority official Hussein al-Sheikh in the Israeli-occupied West Bank said via social media that Israel taking over the border was evidence of a decision “to completely return the occupation”.
“We moved here from Khan Younis on the basis that Rafah was a safe place. There is no space in Rafah as it is overcrowded with displaced [people],” said Umm Mohammed, 45, a displaced Palestinian woman sheltering by the border.
“If they control the border, where will people go?” she asked, saying that would be a disaster.

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

It’s been a turbulent year for Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s embattled son famous for his foreign business dealings and drug-fueled extravagance.
Over the past year, Hunter Biden began to face consequences for his actions in the form of criminal indictments, congressional investigations and further public scrutiny. Below are the five biggest Hunter Biden related developments of 2023. (RELATED: Biden DOJ Prevented Lesley Wolf From Discussing Details About David Weiss’ Authority)
Hunter Biden’s guilty plea deal falls apart
Hunter Biden’s troubles were supposed to be put to bed in July 2023 with a guilty plea deal for two tax misdemeanor offenses in Delaware and a pretrial diversion agreement for a single felony gun charge. But Delaware U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika took issue with a prosecutorial immunity provision contained in the diversion agreement when Biden appeared in court to finalize the guilty plea.
Noreika’s scrutiny caused a dispute between the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Biden’s legal team over the scope of his potential immunity, resulting in the collapse of his plea deal and diversion agreement. He pleaded not guilty to the two tax misdemeanors and the diversion agreement was not put into place. Hunter Biden’s legal team has argued the diversion agreement is still legally binding. (RELATED: Lesley Wolf Refused To Explain Order To Remove Joe Biden From Search Warrant In Hunter Biden Case)
IRS whistleblowers come forward
IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler testified to the House Ways and Means Committee in late May and early June with allegations DOJ officials gave Hunter Biden special treatment during the ongoing criminal investigation. The Ways and Means Committee released the transcripts of their testimony in late June and both whistleblowers testified publicly the next month.
Significant allegations brought forward by the IRS whistleblowers include the DOJ rejecting Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss’ request for additional charging authority, President-elect Biden’s transition team getting tipped off to plans to interview Hunter Biden and Biden-appointed U.S. Attorneys for the District of Columbia and Central District of California refusing to cooperate with Weiss on the case.
In addition, Shapley released a threatening text Hunter Biden appeared to send a Chinese business associate where he invoked his father’s presence and he confirmed the FBI verified Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop archive in November 2019. Both whistleblowers described the tax related charges they recommended against Hunter Biden and delivered specific information about Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings.
The Ways and Means Committee released documents in September that substantiated the IRS whistleblower allegations and gave further information related to Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings. Shapley and Ziegler testified again on Dec. 5 and the committee subsequently released more documents produced by Ziegler. (RELATED: Hunter Biden’s Business Relationship With Chinese Firm Began During Joe Biden’s Vice Presidency, Docs Show)
Witness testimony by DOJ, FBI and IRS officials confirmed major allegations brought forward by the IRS whistleblowers, House Republicans laid out in a report released on Dec. 5.
Hunter Biden indicted in Delaware and California
Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Weiss special counsel in August after the IRS whistleblowers testified publicly and Hunter Biden’s guilty plea agreement collapsed. Weiss’ investigation into Hunter Biden resulted in two separate indictments by federal grand juries in Delaware and the Central District of California. (RELATED: Hunter Biden’s Drug Addiction Defense Shattered By New California Indictment)
Hunter Biden faces three federal gun charges in Delaware with a maximum of 25 years in prison and nine tax related charges in California with a 17 year maximum. He pleaded not guilty to the gun charges at an Oct. 3 arraignment and seeks to have them dismissed. His California arraignment is expected to take place in January.
The IRS whistleblowers have said the California indictment vindicated their testimony. Hunter Biden’s defense attorney Abbe D. Lowell attributed the charges to political pressure.
Devon Archer testifies
Hunter Biden’s former business associate Devon Archer testified before the House Oversight Committee on July 31 about his business dealings with Hunter Biden and then-Vice President Joe Biden’s involvement. (RELATED: Joe Biden Used Fake Name To Exchange Over 50 Private Emails With Hunter Biden’s Business Associate, Docs Show)
He recalled around 20 instances where Joe Biden spoke with his son’s business associates, most notably a spring 2014 dinner with Russian oligarch Elena Baturina and a spring 2015 dinner with Vadim Pozharskyi, an executive with Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings.
Archer and Biden co-founded investment firm Rosemont Seneca Partners and worked together on Burisma’s board. In December 2015, at Burisma’s board meeting in Dubai, Hunter Biden “called D.C.” because of pressure from Pozharskyi and Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky, Archer testified. He did not say definitively that then-VP Biden was on the other end of his son’s phone call.
Archer did tell lawmakers how the Biden family “brand” protected Burisma from legal scrutiny. He also recalled that Joe Biden got coffee in Beijing with Chinese business associate Jonathan Li, the CEO of BHR Partners, a joint business venture with Rosemont Seneca.
House GOP launches impeachment inquiry
House Republicans launched an impeachment inquiry into President Biden in September based on Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings and the IRS whistleblower testimony. The House Ways and Means, Oversight and Judiciary Committees are leading the impeachment inquiry.
Lawmakers held a hearing in late September with expert witnesses to kick off the inquiry and continue investigating the IRS whistleblower allegations and the Biden family business enterprise. At the end of the hearing, the House Oversight Committee announced subpoenas for Hunter Biden and his uncle James Biden’s personal and business bank records.
To date, House investigators have shown the Biden family and its business associates received more than $24 million from foreign sources. (RELATED: Chinese Business Associate Paid Hunter Biden $1,000,000 For Non-Existent Legal Services, Docs Show)
House Republicans voted along party lines to officially authorize the impeachment inquiry on Dec. 13 following Hunter Biden’s refusal to appear for a closed-door deposition, defying the Oversight Committee’s subpoena.
Hunter: “Let me state as clearly as I can: My father was not financially involved in my business, not as a practicing lawyer, not as a board member of Burisma. Not in my partnership with a Chinese private businessman. Not my investments at home nor abroad and certainly not as an… pic.twitter.com/NWgBrfm7ux
— Greg Price (@greg_price11) December 13, 2023
He instead held a press conference where he defended his father and relayed his offer to testify publicly instead of holding the closed-door session. (RELATED: Jordan, Comer Press White House Over Joe Biden’s Alleged Role In Hunter’s Refusal To Face Congress)
“Let me state as clearly as I can: My father was not financially involved in my business, not as a practicing lawyer, not as a board member of Burisma. Not in my partnership with a Chinese private businessman. Not my investments at home nor abroad and certainly not as an artist,” Hunter Biden asserted.
His legal struggles and the impeachment inquiry will continue into the new year.

From ballboy in an SCG riot to one of Australia’s most beloved broadcasters
By Iain Payten
In 50 years as a broadcaster, Jim Maxwell has seen more action at the Sydney Cricket Ground than most.
Generally, the moments have featured willow and leather and Maxwell behind an ABC microphone, calling the play from a box at the back of the stand.
But one of Maxwell’s most memorable moments came a few years before became a commentator, and saw him smack bang in the middle of the action, on the SCG itself.
The setting was the Springboks’ infamous rugby tour of Australia in July 1971, when thousands of anti-apartheid protestors attended to disrupt the matches and demonstrate against South Africa’s racist policies.
For the fourth game of the tour against NSW, after chaotic scenes in Melbourne, Adelaide and during a game four days earlier at the SCG between the Springboks and Sydney, police ramped up their presence in readiness.
Barbed wire was strung up between the SCG field and the hill and 700 police were on hand, but with flares, smoke bombs, projectiles and pitch invaders expected, it was arranged for young adult referees to serve as ballboys. One of them was a 21-year-old Maxwell.
“They didn’t want young kids out there because it was absolutely mad,” Maxwell recalled.
One photo from the Fairfax archive from the day shows the young Maxwell, dressed in a white uniform, looking on as police arrest a pitch invader, but with the game going on behind him.
“There was barbwire around the hill, there were paddy wagons on the ground, all the protesters had whistles. Then they started throwing stuff: billiard balls, tennis balls, you name it, and people tried to get through the wire on the ground. They got through the fence and got chucked in the paddy wagons. It was absolutely mad.”
Less than two years later, Maxwell was back at the SCG for a far more genteel event – an Australian cricket Test against Pakistan – and via an audition tape produced that day, secured a traineeship with the ABC that set him on a path to becoming one of Australia’s most treasured sports broadcasters.
Maxwell celebrated 50 years of broadcasting last month and ahead of the Sydney Test – the 338th long-form cricket match he’s called – the Herald sat down with the ABC’s voice of cricket to talk through his history at the SCG, the early days of his career, major influences, his favourite colleagues and the future of cricket.
EARLY DAYS
Growing up in Sydney’s east, Maxwell first attended cricket with his father in the late 1950s, but he was more occupied with collecting empty glass bottles to earn enough to buy a soft drink himself. By the time he became a member of the SCG at the age of 10, Maxwell was watching the action and recalls Sir Garfield Sobers parking Ian Meckiff in the Sheridan Stand on his way to 168 in 1961.
A keen junior cricketer at Cranbrook, Maxwell would go to Sheffield Shield games with a scorebook and spend the day dutifully recording the action. That progressed to writing a cricket magazine while still at school, which his mum would type up and be sold for five cents a copy.
“I used to sit up in the stand every summer holiday with a scorebook with my mate, and [Donald] Bradman would be sitting over there,” Maxwell said.
“He was one of the selectors with Jack Ryder and Dudley Seddon. They used to sit in front of the old ABC box and you didn’t go near those blokes. Very intimidating. It was still fairly intimidating when I got around to being in the ABC box in ’73.”
Like many, Maxwell didn’t know what he wanted to do after school and started an arts degree. He didn’t finish it – playing cricket and going to races was more fun – but after a trip overseas playing cricket in 1971, he returned home and his mum had cut out an ad from the paper.
“It was an ad for the ABC – to become a specialist trainee [in sport],” Maxwell said. “I had a fly at it, for the hell of it.”
Maxwell got the gig, and along with other young contemporaries in the program like Gordon Bray, Drew Morphett and Peter Meares, began learning the trade. The ABC was the home of almost every sport at the time, on radio and TV, and the likes of Norman May and Alan McGilvray were in their pomp.
CALLING CRICKET
A nervous Maxwell was in the ABC box calling cricket as early as the end of 1973, watching and learning from legends like McGilvray and Lindsay Hassett.
Cricket quickly became his summer home, but the ABC deployed him across many other sports, too. Maxwell went to Olympics and Commonwealth Games, called Sydney club rugby for many decades, and plenty of rugby league too; be it country group finals or the NSWRL in the 1980s.
“Most of the grounds we were down on the sideline: Brookvale, Lidcombe, Belmore, Cumberland Oval,” Maxwell said.
“The table became very important because if it rained, you’d get underneath it. It was rough and ready in those days.”
His first love remained cricket, though, and soon enough Maxwell became a familiar voice of the Australian summer. He saw the Packer pyjama cricket revolution come through and the proliferation of white-ball cricket, and with bigger and bigger sums of money in the game, the ever-improving standards of athleticism and preparation.
Maxwell is no olden-days romantic, mind you. He rates modern cricket as a better game than when he started, and he even enjoys Twenty20 cricket, or the quality games at least.
THE ART OF COMMENTARY
Maxwell tries to hold the line for tradition, though, when it comes to the similarly seismic changes in cricket broadcasting. The world is far different in the box, too.
“I asked Norman May one day, how do you manage the connection with the audience? He said you just have to imagine you’re in the pub with me, and just tell me what’s going on. What do I want to know? The score, what the expert thinks. That stuff. That was good advice,” Maxwell said.
“It was like the advice from McGilvray, which you didn’t get a lot of unless you asked. It was very pithy. Things like ‘you’ll never be any good unless you’re a good listener’ and in terms of broadcasting ‘copy technique and create your own style’.
“It was much more formal in those days. The tendency now, because the whole coverage of sport is more conversational, is to underplay the basic stuff. On the TV and the [Big Bash League], they’re mostly not talking about the game. It has changed dramatically.”
Maxwell sits in the ABC box for most of the day, even when not calling.
“When I get on, the first thing I do is grab the scoresheet and say ‘if you have just switched, the score is ... xyz’. Because it is so conversational, it has lost a bit of that discipline,” Maxwell said.
It’s minor stuff, but important. But the irony lies in the fact Maxwell’s status as Australia’s pre-eminent radio cricket caller is because he’s a superb conversationalist, as well.
Many devoted listeners to the ABC cricket commentary are there purely for the light-hearted banter, storytelling and historical musings between balls. People bring cakes to Test matches to give to the ABC team.
“We have gone from not knowing if anyone was listening, to now we have interaction with the audience, with emails and texts, it connects you in a lovely way,” Maxwell said.
For some, the peak years of modern ABC cricket were Maxwell and Kerry O’Keeffe riffing off each other in the late 1990s and 2000s. Of the hundreds of co-commentators he’s worked with, Maxwell opts for O’Keeffe and former Herald cricket writer Peter Roebuck as the most treasured.
O’Keeffe was working for 2UE when Maxwell urged his ABC bosses to recruit the witty, but also deeply knowledgeable, former Test leg-spinner.
“In those days he wasn’t considered to be the ABC type, and all that stuff,” Maxwell said.
“But I said ‘he actually knows the game brilliantly, apart from all the shenanigans and frog jokes and all the rest of it, let’s give him a go’. So that’s how we started and Kerry had 13 years at the ABC. It was a good era. They were great years.”
Jim Maxwell on ...
The best players he saw at the SCG
You are always connected to the more recent, so you just have to say watching Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath play for Australia was the absolute pinnacle. Two bowlers who consistently put a strangle on the opposition. There has been nothing like it in the history of the game, I am sure.
Just behind them was Brian Lara and Sachin Tendulkar, and on our side, Ricky Ponting. Neil Harvey’s footwork, Bob Simpson’s catching at slip. And Gary Sobers was probably the greatest cricketer – total package – that we’ve seen.
The most exciting moment at the SCG
You’d probably have to go for the end of the game – everyone saw it or at least says they saw it – when Michael Bevan won the game (an ODI against the West Indies in 1996) on the last ball.
The most exciting Test series
(Maxwell has to go overseas for this category, opting for a tie between the 2005 and 2023 Ashes series in England)
This year, and that one, have probably been the most exciting to watch. In terms of the unpredictability of the contest. No boring sessions. This year probably moreso than 2005, if you look at all the other stuff going on, Nathan Lyon’s injury, the behaviour of the crowd at Lord’s, Mark Wood at Headingley …
The future of Test cricket
I think it is challenged, providing India stick with the IPL growth. They’ll have their own scheduling challenges, with more IPL franchises and competitions. How do you fit it all into the calendar year? That will be the squeeze for Test cricket – just fitting it in. I think Test cricket, outside the top teams, could struggle to survive because it won’t be viable.
Modern cricket change
McGilvray said when he was near the end, over a beer or whatever, he was asked what’s the difference between the game he was watching and the game he played before the war. He said ‘they’re athletes now’. And that’s only moreso from then to now.
So like golf balls, are we going to have rollback in cricket? Seriously, those bats are like trampolines. That’s the biggest change in the game in the last 20-30 years, the size and quality of the firesticks, the bats. These guys today can mishit a six pretty easily.

New label you'll love: Kirstie Le Marque
‘Timeless jewellery shouldn’t be unobtainable’, is the belief of Kirstie Le Marque founders Kirstie and Claire.
Since 2017 the brand has disrupted the jewellery market with a revolutionary notion: treasure-forever jewellery and, even diamonds, should be accessible.
The vintage-meets-modern fusion apparent in all Kirstie Le Marque’s designs make the brand’s appeal universal
There aren’t many brands that attract midlifers buying for themselves, their friends and trendy millennial godmothers buying for goddaughters, but the vintage-meets-modern fusion apparent in all Kirstie Le Marque’s designs make the brand’s appeal universal.
This is jewellery for the 2024 woman: it can be worn in many ways, to many occasions. Pieces as versatile and adaptable as the woman who wears them? Yes please.

PUV Operators Rush to Meet Franchise Consolidation Deadline Amid Regulatory Compliance
As the deadline for the Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) franchise consolidation drew to a close, operators scrambled to ensure their compliance. This key step, part of the regulatory prerequisites for PUV operators, involved varied modes of public transport including buses, jeepneys, and vans. The consolidation is a significant move in the government’s endeavour to streamline public transportation, elevate service delivery, and reinforce the safety and dependability of PUVs.
Consolidation Deadline and Compliance
The deadline, falling on the final day of the year, added to the urgency felt by operators to complete the process. Compliance with these regulations is critical for the operators to continue their services without disruption. The report, aired on TV Patrol by Michael Delizo on December 31, 2023, highlighted that the successful consolidation of PUV franchises could impact the operations, management, and regulatory supervision of public utility vehicles in the region.
Impact of the PUV Modernization Program
The mandatory franchise consolidation is a step in the implementation of the government’s PUV modernization program. The Office of Transportation Cooperatives (OTC), under the Department of Transportation, pledged to find employment opportunities for PUV drivers displaced by this modernization initiative. OTC Chairman Andy Ortega stated that drivers from PUV operators who failed to consolidate still had a chance to be employed by operators who participated in the mandatory franchise consolidation.
Protests and Controversies
Despite transport strikes and protests, Transport Secretary Jaime Bautista and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. stood firm on the December 31 deadline. The PUV Modernization Program, aiming to replace jeepneys with vehicles having at least a Euro 4-compliant engine, was met with resistance due to the high cost of modern jeepneys. Transport group PISTON refused to file for consolidation, citing concerns over the potential debt burden. Nonetheless, traditional jeepneys failing to consolidate their franchises will still be allowed until January 31, 2024, to ply routes where less than 60 percent of units are consolidated.

The 2024 calendar will be chock-full of national and statewide races alongside a contentious presidential election coinciding with Donald Trump’s slate of trials amid his run for another term.
Presidential candidates, House and Senate hopefuls, gubernatorial nominees and others will face off on Nov. 5 after a busy year of party primaries and special elections. Additionally, the former president faces four trials following 2023 indictments related to alleged election interference, classified documents and hush money payments as he challenges President Joe Biden for the White House. (RELATED: Just How Good Are The Polls For Donald Trump?)
“Next year could be a crazy year! Trump vs Biden vs who knows how many third parties? Plus the two parties continuing to deal with realignment of their constituencies. Plus an electorate that’s probably more pissed than it was even in 2016,” Scott Jennings, a GOP strategist and veteran of numerous campaigns, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Could be a nutty cycle!”
Presidential Primaries
Trump remains the clear frontrunner in the GOP primary with a more than 50-point lead, followed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at 11.3%, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley at 11%, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy at 4%, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at 3.3% and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson at 0.8%, according to the RealClearPolitics average.
The former president is also ahead by double digits in the key early nominating states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, according to the RCP.
Iowa’s caucus is the first nominating contest of the 2024 season on Jan. 15, followed by New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary on Jan. 23. Nevada is holding both a party primary and a state caucus within two days of each other on Feb. 6 and Feb. 8, respectively.
South Carolina’s primary is set for Feb. 24, and Michigan’s will take place three days later.
As a part of the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC’s) new calendar, at the directive of Biden, South Carolina was moved up first for their party, pushing back both Iowa and New Hampshire. Iowa caved to the DNC, and will release their presidential preferences on March 5, while New Hampshire kept its late January date.
Because of this, Biden will not appear on the New Hampshire primary ballot, however, a significant write-in campaign is well underway. This allows for a small opening for Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota to shore up support in the state.
On March 2, Missouri and Idaho both hold their GOP caucuses, while North Dakota‘s will take place two days later. Over a dozen states will hold their Republican nominating contests on March 5, or Super Tuesday, including Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont and Virginia.
The GOP nominating contests for Georgia, Hawaii, Mississippi and Washington are set for March 12, while Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Kansas and Ohio’s will take place on March 19. Louisiana’s primary is on March 23.
On April 2, Connecticut, Delaware, New York, Rhode Island and Wisconsin will hold their primaries, while Pennsylvania’s will take place on April 23. Indiana’s primary is on May 7; West Virginia, Nebraska and Maryland’s are on May 14; and Oregon and Kentucky’s are on May 21.
The Republican National Convention will take place from July 15 to July 18 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the Democratic National Convention follows on Aug. 19 to Aug. 22 in Chicago, Illinois.
Presidential General Election
Trump is trending ahead of Biden both nationally and in crucial battleground state polls for a 2024 hypothetical rematch, according to the RCP. The former president is ahead by 2.3 points nationally, and is also leading in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
Numerous third-party candidates are likely to be on the ballot along with the two leading party candidates, including independents Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West. Green Party candidate Jill Stein is also running again, West Virginia’s Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin is weighing a bid with centrist organization No Labels and a Libertarian Party nominee is also expected to be on the ticket.
No Labels will decide whether or not to run a “Unity Ticket” after mid-March 2024, and is scheduled to hold an April nominating convention in Dallas.
Recent polling suggests Trump’s margin of victory against Biden grows with multiple third-party candidates on the ballot, including a J.L. Partners/Daily Mail survey released Tuesday.
Trump’s Trials
As Trump is vying to return to the White House, he faces the trials for four criminal indictments — one in New York, one in Florida, one in Washington, D.C., and one in Georgia.
The former president was first arrested by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in late March for allegedly falsifying business records to reimburse a hush money payment his former lawyer gave to porn star actress Stormy Daniels. The trial date for this case is set for March 25.
Special counsel Jack Smith handed down the next indictment in June with charges related to Trump allegedly mishandling classified documents. This case is scheduled to take place on May 20.
In August, Smith indicted Trump for alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and alleged interference in the 2020 election. The trial date is currently set for March 4 — the day prior to Super Tuesday.
The fourth indictment was issued by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in August for alleged interference in Georgia’s 2020 election. A trial has not been officially scheduled, but Willis has been pushing for an Aug. 5 date.
Senate Races
Unlike the House, where all of its members face reelection every two years, less than half of the upper chamber’s seats are on the ballot in 2024. There are several key races to keep an eye on as Democrats go on defense.
There are eight vulnerable Senate Democrats that Republicans are trying to oust in November, including Jon Tester of Montana, Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, Bob Casey of Pennsylvania and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, who is an independent but caucuses with the party. The GOP is also eyeing the seats held by Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, who are both retiring.
Republicans will vie for the nomination in Ohio on March 19, Pennsylvania on April 23, Montana on June 4, West Virginia on May 14, Arizona and Michigan on Aug. 6 and Wisconsin on Aug. 13.
Additionally, California’s Democratic primary, which is taking place on March 5, has become increasingly competitive as candidates fight to replace the late Dianne Feinstein. Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff, Katie Porter and Barbara Lee are all vying for the state’s open primary, alongside Republican Steve Garvey, who recently placed second in a poll for the contest.
A New Jersey Senate race has also garnered significant attention, as several prominent candidates are vying to oust Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez on June 4, who was recently indicted over alleged bribery. Recent polls show Menendez in the single digits against Rep. Andy Kim, first lady Tammy Murphy and other Democrats.
Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney’s retirement has set up a competitive primary for the solid red seat. State House Speaker Brad Wilson and Riverton Mayor Trent Staggs are already vying for the seat, with Rep. John Curtis considering a bid, along with several others.
House Races
All of the lower chamber’s 435 seats are on the ballot in 2024, with Republicans aiming to retain and grow their slim majority.
A wave of recent Democratic retirements and other open seats have given the GOP several pickup opportunities, including battleground districts in California, Virginia and Michigan, with primaries on March 5, June 18 and Aug. 6, respectively.
Other contentious primaries in Republican strongholds include Colorado’s 4th Congressional District and Arizona’s 8th, whose primaries will take place on June 25 and Aug. 6, respectively.
GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert, who currently represents Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, decided to run for outgoing Rep. Ken Buck’s seat Wednesday instead of facing a potentially difficult reelection bid in the primary and general for her post. The congresswoman’s candidacy will likely make for a competitive primary, as numerous Republicans are already vying for the nomination in District 4.
Several prominent Republicans are running to succeed Rep. Debbie Lesko of Arizona, who is not seeking another term in the House. Former GOP attorney general nominee Abe Hamadeh, former Republican Senate nominee Blake Masters, state House Speaker Ben Toma, state Sen. Anthony Kern and former Rep. Trent Franks are in the race.
Gubernatorial Races
While only three states held gubernatorial races in 2023, 11 will be on the ballot in 2024, with a majority being open seats.
Delaware, Indiana, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington and West Virginia are all holding governor’s races.
Republican Spencer Cox is running for reelection in Utah, while GOP Govs. Phil Scott of Vermont, Greg Gianforte of Montana and Doug Burgum of North Dakota, who recently suspended his presidential campaign, have yet to decide whether to seek another term.
The primaries for these seats are on Sept. 10 for Delaware, May 7 for Indiana, Aug. 6 for Missouri, June 4 for Montana, Sept. 10 for New Hampshire, March 5 for North Carolina, June 11 for North Dakota, June 25 for Utah, Aug. 13 for Vermont, Aug. 6 for Washington and May 14 for West Virginia.
North Carolina’s gubernatorial race has come into the spotlight, as Trump is supporting GOP Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson in the race, though two other Republicans are vying for the nomination. The governor’s race in New Hampshire also made headlines over the summer as GOP Gov. Chris Sununu opted against running again, prompting former Sen. Kelly Ayotte to quickly launch a bid for the office.

BHOPAL: Six days after 28 ministers were sworn in, Madhya Pradesh chief minister Mohan Yadav allocated portfolios to them late on Saturday. Yadav kept home, public relations, industrial policy and promotion and mining departments to himself while finance was entrusted to deputy chief minister Jagdish Devda, who was finance minister in Shivraj Singh Chouhan cabinet too.
The other deputy chief minister Rajendra Shukla was given public health and family planning department. Among the ministers of Chouhan cabinet, only Tulsi Silawat and Pradyuman Singh Tomar were given portfolios they had with them earlier. Silawat retained water resources department while Pradyuman got energy department. Both Silawat and Pradyuman are supporters of Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia.
The other Scindia supporter Govind Singh Rajput, who held revenue and transport department in Chouhan government, was entrusted with the departments of food and civil supplies and consumer protection.
Chief minister Yadav has done a balancing act by giving some important portfolios to senior and experienced members and in doing so he has also kept in mind the regional balance in the state.
Among Member of Parliaments who were fielded by BJP, former Union minister Prahlad Patel was allocated panchayat and rural development department while former BJP state chief Rakesh Singh was given public works department. Another MP, Uday Pratap Singh, was entrusted with school education and transport. Former BJP general secretary and senior leader Kailash Vijayvargiya was given urban administration and housing and legislative affairs. Bhopal MLA Vishvas Sarang, who was medical education minister in the previous cabinet, was allocated sports and youth welfare while Govindpura MLA Krishna Gaur was given departments of OBC and minority welfare, nomadic tribes welfare.
Portfolios allotted to other ministers are -- Kunwar Vijay Shah- tribal works, Public assets management & Bhopal gas relief & rehabilitation; Karan Singh Verma- revenue; Sampatiya Uikey- public health engineering; Aidal Singh Kansana- farmers welfare and agriculture; Nirmala Bhuria- Women and child development; Narayan Singh Kushwah - social justice & divyang welfare, horticulture & food processing.
What appeared clear from the portfolio allocation was there was no one who could be clearly named as number two in the Mohan Yadav cabinet, despite the heavy weights from centre getting ministerial berths in his cabinet.
Chief minister Mohan Yadav kept general administration, home, jail, industrial policy and investment promotion, public relations, Narmada valley development, aviation, mineral resources, public service management, overseas Indian and the department not allotted to any minister with him.
In former CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan cabinet before November polls, Home and Jail departments were with Narottam Mishra, who was considered the second most powerful after Chouhan in the cabinet. Mishra was also legislative minister which this time would be headed by Kailash Vijayvargiya. Mishra lost the polls this time.
When Vijayvargiya was a minister in 2008, he had legislative affairs, urban administration and development portfolios. The departments he got this time have been headed by him in the past as well.
The happiness department, a brainchild of Shivraj Singh Chouhan, was not given to any minister. Departments not allocated to any minister would be headed by CM. Mohan Yadav was higher education minister in the Chouhan cabinet. After Yadav becoming CM, the higher education department this time was given to Inder Singh Parmar who handled school education minister in the previous government.

The story behind Fraser-McGurk’s bond with Maxwell … and that monkey incident
By Andrew Wu
Australia’s World Cup great Glenn Maxwell has taken Big Bash League sensation Jake Fraser-McGurk under his wing, setting up a clash between the master and apprentice in Tuesday night’s Melbourne derby at the MCG.
If the cricket public were still not aware of Fraser-McGurk after his world record 29-ball one-day century in October, they would be now after Maxwell described him as “easily the most talented young batter in the country”.
Maxwell’s comments were not just those of an old pro passing judgment from the couch. He has worked closely with Fraser-McGurk and has become somewhat of a mentor to the budding star.
Friends for about “four to five years” from their days in the Victoria squad, their relationship has grown.
“It probably started with him starting to take me under the wing a bit more the last two to three years,” Fraser-McGurk told this masthead.
The pair talk often, about once or twice a week, Fraser-McGurk said, though they can occasionally go a fortnight without speaking, due to their schedules.
It’s not difficult to understand why Maxwell has taken such a keen interest in Fraser-McGurk’s career. Both share a freewheeling and jaw-dropping approach to batting, pulling off shots others dare not try. They can also frustrate, which partially explains why Fraser-McGurk, 21, is no longer playing for his home state Victoria.
“You can see the way he plays, he reacts to the ball and does what he wants with it,” Fraser-McGurk said. “I don’t think any player in the world can do that. To have someone like that you can go to and get advice from is crucial for me.”
Fraser-McGurk has been the revelation of BBL 13, stamping himself as one of the country’s most exciting young batting prospects with whirlwind knocks of 55 from 23 balls and 70 off 37 for the Renegades.
It was his first half-century which compelled Maxwell to tell the world just how good the kid, nicknamed the Rooster, could be.
“No one in Australia is better to watch then Fraser-McGurk. Easily the most talented young batter in the country. His potential doesn’t actually have a ceiling,” Maxwell wrote to his 1.8 million followers on X, the social platform formerly called Twitter.
“It’s nice to have someone of his stature to say words like that,” Fraser-McGurk said. “I’ve had a fair bit to do with Maxy. He’s helped me out with numerous things along the way. He still texts me now about things even when I’m not playing for Victoria.
“He’s put some serious time into me. To give back and put some performances on the board to show it wasn’t all for nothing is very nice.”
Fraser-McGurk’s breakthrough summer has come after moving to South Australia in search for more opportunities. Given the licence to thrill, Fraser-McGurk has scored debut hundreds in both the Sheffield Shield and the Marsh Cup, even if he is still searching for consistency.
To say he is on the radar of national selectors would be a stretch, but he did receive a congratulatory message from chief selector George Bailey after his maiden Shield ton.
“He’s got my phone number, I’m happy with that,” Fraser-McGurk said.
With his dynamic strokeplay and power hitting, Fraser-McGurk appears a prime candidate to become a Twenty20 gun for hire at a time when lucrative leagues are popping up all over the globe, but he speaks like a man very much into the legend of the baggy green.
“My dream’s always been to play Test cricket for Australia, I hope it stays the same with all the young kids coming through,” Fraser-McGurk said.
“That’s the pinnacle, it’s why it’s called Test cricket. You’re playing with the best players in the world across five days, and you get to test your skills against them. Just seeing how well the Australians are going it make you want to play it more.
“I think we’re a bit spoilt seeing Australians dominate every other country. We don’t know what it’s like to see them go through bad patches. My dad used to say we had the odd rough patch, but we’ve always been a super dominant country.
“To say that you played for Australia in Test cricket, to say you were part of that ultimate group would be really special.”
Before this season, Fraser-McGurk was more widely known as the young gun who left an under-19 World Cup early after being attacked by a monkey at a nature reserve in South Africa.
The monkey had been upset after Fraser-McGurk had run out of food, and lashed out, scratching him on the eyelid.
There were murmurs in cricket circles Fraser-McGurk had taunted the primate but he said this was not the case.
“That wasn’t happening,” Fraser-McGurk said. “People add on to that because that’s who I am, I’m a bit of an outgoing person, they would have thought I was doing that but I wasn’t. You had to be there to understand what was going on.
“I was feeding the monkey, as I was allowed to. He ate all the food in my hand. It looked like he was a bit upset. I was a bit too close to the cage. He’s gone at me, got me in the eye. I had a little scratch on the eyelid and needed all sorts of treatment and some of that treatment was a bit safer in Australia.”

Hannah Betts Better... Not Younger: My post party beauty buys... from as little as £9
- UK beauty expert Hannah Betts says now's the time to open glam presents
- READ MORE: My 12- week test to find the right mid-life retinol
New Year’s Day beauty articles were traditionally about penance. These days, they’re about lifting post-carousing gloom.
For me, the concept of mood-boosting beauty is a tautology — the saying of the same thing twice in different words. For beauty has to be mood-boosting or why are we doing it, given that definitions of it morph across cultures and over time?
The Body Shop founder, the late, great Anita Roddick, excelled at unguents with uplift. For her, lotions and potions had to make you feel brilliant — as well as doing brilliant things for other women, other peoples and the planet.
Merely entering The Body Shop makes me feel like an elated eight-year-old again, being taken to Birmingham’s first branch by my grandmother. Last year’s pine wares were outstanding and I intend having a cheering play with its rosemary and eucalyptus Breathe range (from £12, thebodyshop.com).
Screenwriter Nora Ephron wrote that losing her best friend to cancer taught her to ‘use the good bath oil’, saying: ‘I’m going to feel like an idiot if I die tomorrow and I skimped on bath oil today.’
Hannah Betts says when her mood is low, she never fails to be staggered by the energy spur of painting on a power mouth (stock image)
So don’t wait for some ‘occasion’ to crack open glam Christmas presents — the occasion is your life.
House Of Windsor favourite Olverum Bath Oil (£39.15, liberty london.com) is a right royal treat, all eucalyptus, juniper, lime, lemon peel, geranium, Siberian fir needle and rosemary to soothe body and soul.
Meanwhile, This Works Deep Sleep Bath Soak (now £18, this works.com), zinging with lavender, camomile and vertivert, has been giving me the will to stagger on.
Terrifying-looking LED masks have become the beauty accessory du jour, with enthusiasts praising their ability to plump skin, soften lines, and reduce redness, scars and dark spots, making faces appear more rested.
Were a glowing complexion not enough to put a spring in your step, users also report a happiness hit that comes with consistent use. The only downer? Don’t expect change from £300.
Beauty Pie’s winningly priced C-Wave LED Light Facial Treatment Mask (£99 for members, £250 for non-members, beautypie.com) sold out in less than 90 minutes when it launched in November. New supplies will hit its site this Wednesday at 4pm should you want to join the queue.
For those seeking a more budget intervention, try Q&A Vitamin C Brightening Serum (£9, qandaskin.com). Vitamin C is not only protective, but a proven skin-perker. Fans swear they prefer it to a famous rival retailing at £150. Not bad for less than a tenner.
If your skin is still feeling temperamental in the wake of the festive season’s extremes, then fake it.
I’ve written about my passion for Glossier Stretch Fluid Foundation (£34, ukglossier.com). Shiseido Revitalessence Skin Glow Foundation (£49, shiseido.com) is more fluid and super-luminous, where Glossier’s gives you pert skin. Both are incredible.
Ditto red-carpet fixture Dior Solar The Self-Tanning Gel (£37, dior.com), should you be more of a faux-glow woman. Or chap: my boyfriend applies it when looking sallow, becoming more dashing by the second.
Hannah says don’t wait for an ‘occasion’ to crack open glam Christmas presents — the occasion is your life
When my mood is low, I never fail to be staggered by the energy spur of painting on a power mouth.
I’m talking serious, epically-pigmented potency: Lancome L’Absolu Rouge Drama Matte Lipstick (£24.80, or £19.60 for a refill, lancome.co.uk); Lisa Eldridge True Velvet Lip Colours (£27, lisaeldridge.com); or Barry M Velvet Matte Longwear Lip Paint (£4.99, superdrug.com).
Scent-wise, we are steered towards ‘functional fragrance’ at this testing time of year. Citrus, rose, lavender and sandalwood have all been found to promote well-being. But surely all perfume boasts this spirit-lifting function?
One stupendously joyous means of imparting aroma is Santa Maria Novella Melograno in Scented Terracotta (£60, uk.smnovella.com) — the perfumed clay pomegranates sold by this Florentine pharmacopoeia.
My beloved gave me one when we moved in together five years ago and it’s still scenting my sweaters — and thus my every winter hour — with its fresh, yet spice-laden charms. In my fantasy lottery-winner life, I’d have one for every drawer, my wardrobe and permanently stuffed under my boyfriend’s pullover.
Happy 2024, dear friends.
RACE YOU TO IT!
The best-selling Dove Pro Age Body Lotion (£7 for a sturdy 400ml, boots.com) is all I want for January body care: budget-yet-brilliant, face cream-inspired nurturing for the rest of me. Formulated with Dove’s ceramide restoring serum, it boasts lactic acid to bolster elasticity and niacinamide for diminishing age spots.

PUV Operators Scramble to Comply with Consolidation Deadline Amid Modernization Push
On the final day marked for the consolidation of Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) franchises, a throng of operators hastened to comply with the imposed deadline. This rush bears testament to the significance of the consolidation process, pivotal for PUV operators since it encompasses regulatory compliance and potential operational alterations.
Government’s Push for PUV Modernization
The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) had set a strict deadline for individual jeepney drivers and operators to consolidate and join a cooperative. This was a prerequisite for participation in the government-assisted Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP). The franchises of operators who failed to comply were to be revoked on January 1, 2024. The PUVMP is an initiative designed to upgrade the environmentally detrimental diesel-fired jeepneys. The program’s benefits include facilitating route rationalization, implementing a fixed salary scheme for drivers, and offering loans for new units.
Resistance and Relief from Consolidation
President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. confirmed that there would be no extension to the deadline, asserting that 70 percent of operators had already committed to or consolidated under the PUVMP. However, militant jeepney driver and operator groups have pushed back against the program. They staged a transport strike and filed a petition at the Supreme Court to declare memorandum circulars associated with consolidation as “null and void.” Nonetheless, the LTFRB has offered some relief to unconsolidated jeepneys and UV express units, permitting operations on certain routes until January 31.
Surge in Consolidation Applications
The Office of Transportation Cooperatives (OTC) reported a surge in applications for consolidation in December, outpacing the applications received over the previous 11 months of 2023. This last-minute flurry of activity underscores the importance of the consolidation process, not only for operators but for the future of public transportation in the country.

Retired Democratic Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson passed away at the age of 88 Sunday, Reuters reported.
Johnson represented a district in Texas encompassing downtown Dallas, and was a pioneering force in American politics, according to Reuters. Her family announced her death on social media Sunday, marking the end of a distinguished 30-year career in the House of Representatives.
“I am heartbroken to share the news that my mother, Eddie Bernice Johnson, has passed away. She was a remarkable and loving mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and great grandmother as well as a trailblazer and public servant,” Johnson’s son, Kirk Johnson, wrote in a Facebook post. “While we mourn the loss of an extraordinary woman, we celebrate her life and legacy. She will be deeply missed. Funeral services are pending.” (RELATED: Former Republican Tennessee Gov. Don Sundquist Dies At 87)
Retired U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson has died at 88.
Johnson, the first Black woman elected to any seat in Dallas and the first Black Dallasite to serve in Congress, was a towering figure in Texas politics.https://t.co/3UkzGKkblb
— Texas Tribune (@TexasTribune) December 31, 2023
Johnson’s legacy is defined by a series of historic firsts, Reuters reported. She was the first person of color to chair the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. In 1992, she became the first registered nurse elected to the U.S. House of Representatives and the first African American to represent North Texas in Congress. When she retired in January 2023, she was the oldest member of the House.
Republican Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson reflected on her immense contributions. “Congresswoman Johnson was a groundbreaking leader for this country and for our state and city, and there really are no words to express my profound sense of grief and loss at the passing of this legendary American,” the mayor said.

BHOPAL: Not witnessed in years, traffic police have been in action along to penalize illegal movement of vehicles on one-way BRTS corridor within the walled city. The welcome move has provided relief not only to emergency vehicles but to average citizens as well.
Challans for wrong-side movement in the corridor along Iqbal Maidan to Hamidia road, is unheard of in over five years or more, according to locals.
“We welcome the move. It will ease traffic and make the roads safe,” said Santosh Asthana, a local resident. “Children cannot cross the street. There is no space to walk as footpaths have been encroached,” said Shahid Mir, another resident.
On an average day, around 50 ambulances pass through a 18-metre wide stretch of the road from Moti Masjid to Hamidia road. Due to unchecked encroachments, the road width has been limited to a single lane effectively. Accommodate that narrow stretch with two-way movement of traffic, the situation has been a driver’s nightmare.
“Less traffic congestion means we are saving three to five minutes to maneuver through about one km stretch from Sadar Manzil to Hamidia hospital emergency. There is more room for improvement but at least stopping wrong side traffic movement will save lives. Every minute counts when there is a patient in the ambulance. People only realise the importance when they face the situation,” said Manoj, an ambulance pilot.
Rakesh a traffic constable, stopped a four-wheeler driver under the Sadar Manzil gate. The gentleman was clearly unprepared for the inspection. A fine of Rs 2,000 was the first caution. Along BRTS corridor, the minimum penalty being imposed has been no less than Rs 5,000 for first offence.
Moti Masjid to Lal Ghati and back to Peer Gate through Yaseen Mahal is a dedicated part of 26-km BRTS in Bhopal. Over the years, Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced plans and budgeted for expansion of road. It includes one from Peer Gate to Moti Masjid, where more two dozen properties were to be scaled back. “Despite allocating Rs 2 crore BMC could not widen the road. Since then, the 12-metre wide road has been further encroached,” said Arshad Ali, a banker and city resident.

Warner announces second retirement in build-up to farewell Test
By Malcolm Conn
David Warner has announced his retirement from one-day cricket just two days out from his final Test, against Pakistan at the SCG beginning on Wednesday.
The dynamic opener’s departure from the 50-over format comes after the 37-year-old was Australia’s leading run-scorer during their ODI World Cup final victory in November.
“I’m definitely retiring from one-day cricket as well,” Warner said as his teammates trained at the SCG on Monday.
“That was something that I had said through the World Cup, get through that, and winning it in India, I think that’s a massive achievement.
“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.”

New Year’s Eve celebrations roll across Asia, but wars cast a shadow on 2024
Dec 31, 2023, 3:13 PM
(AP Photo/Kamran Jebreili)
NEW YORK (AP) — Revelers across Asia celebrated the countdown to midnight on New Year’s Eve with fireworks and brightly lit signs — offering a hopeful start to 2024 for some, even as the globe’s ongoing conflicts raised security concerns and let to muted or even cancelled festivities.
As the clock struck midnight in Australia, more than 1 million people — a number equivalent to one in five of the city’s residents — watched a 12-minute firework display focused on the Sydney Harbor Bridge from the shore and from boats in the harbor.
“It’s total madness,” said German tourist Janna Thomas, who had waited in line since 7:30 a.m. to secure a prime waterfront location in the Sydney Botanic Garden.
Organizers worldwide have readied for large-scale celebrations despite the ongoing wars in Gaza and Ukraine. In New York City, where there have been near-daily protests sparked by the Israel-Hamas war, officials and party organizers said they were prepared to ensure the safety of tens of thousands of revelers who will flood Times Square in the heart of midtown Manhattan.
ASIAN NATIONS ARE FIRST TO WELCOME THE NEW YEAR
Fireworks exploded up and down the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, as clocks struck midnight in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
China celebrated relatively quietly, with most major cities banning fireworks over safety and pollution concerns. Still, people gathered and performers danced in colorful costumes in Beijing, while a crowd released wish balloons in Chongqing. During his New Year address, Chinese President Xi Jinping said the country would focus on building momentum for economic recovery in 2024 and pledged China would “surely be reunified” with Taiwan.
In Taipei, Taiwan’s capital, the mood appeared upbeat as revelers gathered for a fireworks show at the bamboo-shaped Taipei 101 skyscraper, as well as at concerts and other events held throughout the city.
In India, thousands of revelers from the financial hub of Mumbai flocked to a bustling promenade to watch the sun set over the Arabian Sea. In New Delhi, fireworks raised concerns that the capital — already infamous for its poor air quality — would be blanketed by a toxic haze on the first morning of the new year.
Temple bells rang out across Japan as people gathered at shrines and temples. At the Tsukiji Temple in Tokyo, visitors were given free hot milk and corn soup as they stood in line to strike a big bell, and a pipe-organ concert was held before a majestic altar.
POPE HIGHLIGHTS THE HUMAN COST OF WAR
At the Vatican, Pope Francis recalled 2023 as a year marked by wartime suffering. During his traditional Sunday blessing from a window overlooking St. Peter’s Square, he offered prayers for “the tormented Ukrainian people and the Palestinian and Israeli populations, the Sudanese people and many others.”
“At the end of the year, we will have the courage to ask ourselves how many human lives have been shattered by armed conflict, how many dead and how much destruction, how much suffering, how much poverty,” the pontiff said.
GAZA AND UKRAINE WARS GRIND ON
In Russia, the country’s military actions in Ukraine have overshadowed end-of-year celebrations, with the usual fireworks and concert on Moscow’s Red Square canceled, as they were last year.
After shelling in the center of the Russian border city of Belgorod Saturday killed 24 people, some local authorities across Russia also canceled their usual firework displays, including in Vladivostok. Millions throughout Russia were expected to have tuned into Russian President Vladimir Putin’s New Year’s prerecorded address, where he asserted there was no force that could divide Russians and stop the country’s development.
Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip killed at least 35 people Sunday, hospital officials said, as fighting raged across the tiny enclave a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the war will continue for “many more months,” resisting international calls for a cease-fire.
In Muslim-majority Pakistan, the government has banned all New Year’s Eve celebrations in solidarity with the Palestinians.
In Iraq, a Christmas tree was decorated with Palestinian flags and symbolic bodies in funeral shrouds, placed beside a liberty monument in central Baghdad. Many Christians in Iraq have cancelled this year’s festivities in solidarity with Gaza, and have chosen to limit their celebrations to prayers and rituals.
“We hope that the new year, 2024 will be a year of goodness, prosperity, and joy,” said Ahmed Ali, a Baghdad resident.
GLOBAL TENSIONS SPUR SECURITY VIGILANCE
New York Mayor Eric Adams said there were “no specific threats” to his city’s annual New Year’s Eve bash. Police said they would expand the security perimeter around the party, creating a “buffer zone” that would allow them to head off potential demonstrations. During last year’s party, a machete-wielding man attacked three police officers a few blocks from Times Square.
Security was also heightened across European cities on Sunday.
German authorities said they had detained three more people in connection with a reported threat of a New Year’s Eve attack by Islamic extremists on the world-famous Cologne Cathedral.
In Berlin, some 4,500 police officers are expected to keep order and avoid riots like a year ago. Police in the German capital issued a ban on the traditional use of fire crackers for several streets across the city. They also banned a pro-Palestinian protest in the Neukoelln neighborhood of the city, which has seen several pro-Palestinian riots.
In Paris, over 1.5 million people are expected to attend celebrations on the Champs-Elysees, with around 90,000 law enforcement officers would be deployed nationwide, top officials said. Celebrations in the French capital will center on the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, including DJ sets, fireworks and video projections on the Arc de Triomphe.
In a New Year’s message, French President Emmanuel Macron predicted that the 2024 European Parliament elections will be crucial to Ukraine’s future and the fate of democracy across Europe.

BHOPAL: A 17-year-old hearing and speech impaired girl with learning difficulties was repeatedly raped by a neigbour in Shahdol district. The accused identified as Bheema Kol, 45, has been arrested and sent to jail. The incident took place at a village that falls under the Kotwali police station area of Shahdol district.
The minor who has difficulties in speech was initially not able to explain her ordeal to her mother who noticed a change in her behaviour.
When she repeatedly inquired and sought details from her minor son about visitors at home in her absence, he said the accused neighbour often came asking for water from the survivor. The survivor later narrated the incident. Mother of the survivor took her to the police station and a case was registered.
Kotwali police station in-charge, Raghvendra Tiwari said, “The survivor with learning disabilities and limited growth, lived with her mother and a 10-year-old brother. Her father had died four years ago and mother used to go out for work during the day.” TNN

Mickey Mouse is headed to public domain, along with these notable works
Dec 31, 2023, 3:39 PM
(The Associated Press)
SALT LAKE CITY — Mickey and Minnie Mouse are about to sail into the world of the public domain, along with countless other classic characters from literature and film, as 2024 arrives.
They will join a vault of ideas that no longer have intellectual property rights protection, allowing anyone to build on these works or simply share them without worry of copyright infringement. Most creative works now have 95 years of protection before copyright runs out.
While thousands of books, plays, movies and musical compositions, mostly from 1928 — and sound recordings from 1923 — will enter the public domain on New Year’s Day, also referred to as “Public Domain Day,” Mickey and Minnie might be the two most historic ones, yet.
A ‘symbolic’ entry
The addition of the duo is “symbolic” if anything, Jennifer Jenkins, a professor of law and director at Duke’s Center for the Study of Public Domain, wrote in a recent blog post. Walt Disney’s 1928 animated short films “Steamboat Willie” and “Plane Crazy” first introduced the beloved mice.
Now, those two most iconic Disney characters are heading into the domain.
“Disney is both an emblem of term extension and its erosion of the public domain, and one of the strongest use cases in favor of the maintenance of a rich public domain. Mickey is the symbol of both tendencies,” Jenkins wrote. “The love triangle between Mickey, Disney and the public domain is about to evolve, and perhaps even resolve, in real time.”
It’s worth noting that only the 1928 versions of these two characters can be used without infringement. The characters went through many minor transformations over time, including Mickey getting white gloves in 1929. Every alteration of Mickey will remain under copyright protection until those also expire.
Other key children’s characters freed up
Some other iconic characters are also set to join the duo in 2024.
A.A. Milne’s “House at Pooh Corner,” which introduces the character of Tigger, turns 95 in 2024. Winnie the Pooh entered the domain at the start of 2022, which ultimately sparked the creation of a low-budget slasher flick, which portrayed Pooh in a much different light. It’s an example of the new ideas people may have for old characters.
Then there’s J.M. Barrie’s “Peter Pan; or, “the Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up,” which enters the sphere as the result of a copyright oddity, according to Jenkins. She notes, in her annual report, the play originated in 1904 and a novel was published seven years later; however, it wasn’t formally sent through the copyright process until 1928, which is why it is only now headed into the public domain.
Other notable works going to the public domain
Meanwhile, work from many acclaimed authors, poets, playwrights, musicians, actors and directors will also join the world of public domain in the new year. This includes more talking motion pictures, after the first bunch entered the domain last year.
Written work
- “Im Westen nichts Neues,” (All Quiet on the Western Front) by Erich Maria Remarque.
- “Orlando,” by Virginia Woolf.
- “Dark Princess,” by W.E.B. Du Bois.
- “The Mystery of the Blue Train,” by Agatha Christie.
- “West-Running Brook,” by Robert Frost.

- “The Cameraman,” directed by Edward Sedgwick and Buster Keaton.
- “The Singing Fool,” directed by Lloyd Bacon. A follow-up to “The Jazz Singer,” which is considered the first talking motion picture.
- “Lights of New York,” directed by Bryan Foy. Jenkins points out this was billed as the first “all-talking” motion picture.
- “The Last Command,” directed by Josef von Sternberg. Emil Jannings was awarded Best Actor in the first-ever Academy Awards for this role in this film.
- “In Old Arizona,” directed by Raoul Walsh and Irving Cummings. Warner Baxter won the second-ever Best Actor Oscar for his role in this film.
- “The Man Who Laughs,” directed by Paul Leni. This film inspired the Joker from the Batman series, according to Collider.

Emotional David Warner drops second retirement bombshell at press conference in front of wife Candice and their daughters
- Previously announced Test retirement
- Has now retired from ODI cricket
- Will continue to play T20
David Warner has made the emotional decision to retire from from one-day international cricket in the lead-up to his final Test match, announcing his decision in front of wife Candice and children Ivy Mae, Indy Rae and Isla Rose on Monday.
The veteran Australian opener said on Monday he was 'comfortable' the time was right to conclude his ODI career following Australia's World Cup triumph in India late last year.
Warner clobbered 6932 runs in 161 ODI matches for Australia, including his best score of 179 career-best 179 against Pakistan at the Adelaide Oval.
He also relished making his doubters 'look stupid' as he played a starring role in Australia's 2023 World Cup win in India, smacking 535 runs in the tournament including a high score of 163.
David Warner has announced that he will also retire from ODI cricket after pulling stumps on his Test cricket career
The opening batsman will play his final Test match for Australia against Pakistan in the New Year Test, weather permitting
Warner flagged the decision would create opportunities to play franchise cricket overseas and will not rule out a comeback if Australia needs an opener for the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025.
After fronting media to talk about his final Test match in Sydney, he made the unexpected call to stand down from ODI cricket as well.
'It was a decision that I was very, very comfortable with. To win in India, from where we were, was absolutely amazing,' Warner said.
'The team, not just under the leadership of Patty but the coach Andrew McDonald himself, everything's just so calm and relaxed inside the team.
'We go out there, we're adults, we back ourselves to train to the best of our ability and then go out there and perform. There's never any added pressure, it's the same-old, come in, get what you have to get done. We love winning.
'When we lost two games in a row in India, the bond just got stronger with each other and it's not by fluke or by chance that we were able to get to where we were.
'The heroics of Maxi, the captaincy and the skills and execution of the way that we played against India was phenomenal, and not to dismiss the Kolkata semi-final as well.'
But Warner also left the door open for one final ODI hurrah in two years time at the Champions Trophy.
'I know the Champions Trophy is coming up... if I'm playing decent cricket in two years' time and if they need someone, I'll be available.'
Warner arrives to his media conference with wife Candice and children Ivy Mae, Indy Rae and Isla Rose
Warner has left the door ajar for a Champions Trophy comeback if called upon in two years
Warner has been a divisive figure in world cricket, largely because of his role in the 2018 Sandpapergate scandal that saw him and captain Steve Smith banned for 12 months.
While the retiring batsman has copped a barrage of negative messages over his retirement announcement, plenty of Aussie cricket fans hailed him as one of the greatest of all time.
'Congrats on a great Test and ODI Career, Australia will find it hard to replace a bastman of Dave Warner calibre in the Test and ODI arena in the future, His numbers stack up against Australia's greatest opening batsman,' one fan posted.
'Congratulations on your career David Warner some will miss you some won't miss you good luck to you and your family for the rest of your life,' added another.
'Congrats Davey cheers for what you've done for Straya,' posted another.
The 37-year-old will play his final Test match against Pakistan at the SCG from Wednesday.

BHOPAL: A 28-year-old
man repairing loose wires on an electric pole in Kolar area on Saturday, sustained a severe electric shock after he came in contact with the high-tension line and died on the spot. His body remained hanging on the pole for about two hours. After receiving the information, Kolar police reached the spot and called the municipal corporation’s hydraulic crane to bring down the body.
Kolar police registered a case. According to the police, Krishnagopal Yadav, 28, a resident of Kajlikheda in Kolar, worked as a private electrician. He was married and has a two-year-old son. The electric wire in his house was loose near the pole, due to which there were frequent power cuts. At around 10 am on Saturday, he climbed up the pole to repair the lose wire. He was tightening the connection when he got electrocuted from the high-tension line passing from above. He died on the pole due to electric shock and his body hung there. After getting information about the incident, Kolar police called a hydraulic crane and got the body down.
Investigation officer ASI Rupesh Kumar Narre said that the deceased worked as a private electrician. Electricity department officials have denied that he was their employee.

Chief Justice Roberts casts a wary eye on the uses of artificial intelligence in the federal courts
WASHINGTON (AP) — Chief Justice John Roberts on Sunday turned his focus to the promise, and shortcomings, of artificial intelligence in the federal courts, in an annual report that made no mention of Supreme Court ethics or legal controversies involving Donald Trump.
Describing artificial intelligence as the “latest technological frontier,” Roberts discussed the pros and cons of computer-generated content in the legal profession. His remarks come just a few days after the latest instance of AI-generated fake legal citations making their way into official court records, in a case involving ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
“Always a bad idea,” Roberts wrote in his year-end report, noting that “any use of AI requires caution and humility.”
At the same time, though, the chief justice acknowledged that AI can make it much easier for people without much money to access the courts. “These tools have the welcome potential to smooth out any mismatch between available resources and urgent needs in our court system,” Roberts wrote.
The report came at the end of a year in which a series of stories questioned the ethical practices of the justices and the court responded to critics by adopting its first code of conduct. Many of those stories focused on Justice Clarence Thomas and his failure to disclose travel, other hospitality and additional financial ties with wealthy conservative donors including Harlan Crow and the Koch brothers. But Justices Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor also have been under scrutiny.
The country also is entering an the beginning of an election year that seems likely to enmesh the court in some way in the ongoing criminal cases against Trump and efforts to keep the Republican former president off the 2024 ballot.
Along with his eight colleagues, Roberts almost never discusses cases that are before the Supreme Court or seem likely to get there. In past reports, he has advocated for enhanced security and salary increases for federal judges, praised judges and their aides for dealing with the coronavirus pandemic and highlighted other aspects of technological changes in the courts.
Roberts once famously compared judges to umpires who call balls and strikes, but don’t make the rules. In his latest report, he turned to a different sport, tennis, to make the point that technology won’t soon replace judges.
At many tennis tournaments, optical technology, rather than human line judges, now determines “whether 130 mile per hour serves are in or out. These decisions involve precision to the millimeter. And there is no discretion; the ball either did or did not hit the line. By contrast, legal determinations often involve gray areas that still require application of human judgment,” Roberts wrote.
Looking ahead warily to the growing use of artificial intelligence in the courts, Roberts wrote: “I predict that human judges will be around for a while. But with equal confidence I predict that judicial work — particularly at the trial level — will be significantly affected by AI.”

Murray police announce arrest in shooting that left two people dead
Dec 31, 2023, 4:57 PM | Updated: 5:00 pm
(Jeffery D. Allred/Deseret News)
MURRAY — Detectives with the Murray Police Department announced Sunday the arrest of a 19-year-old man in connection to a shooting early Saturday morning that left two people dead.
The suspect has been identified as Sobeth Noge Koki.
The incident occurred at the Brickgate Apartment Complex, located near 160 W. 4500 South, just before 1 a.m.
Upon arrival, police discovered one victim, who was pronounced dead at the scene. A second victim was rushed to a nearby hospital, but later died from his injuries.
The probable cause statement identifies the victims as Laka Girah and Mojtaba Ahmadi. The probable cause statement further states the two got into an argument about how Girah had parked his vehicle in his assigned parking spot.
In video surveillance, Girah and Koki can both be seen carrying a weapon, according to the probable cause statement. As the argument continued, both individuals loaded a bullet into the chamber of their weapons. The probable cause statement identifies Koki as an associate of Girah.
Authorities took Koki into custody at the home of his parents. During a search of the home, police found a pair of shoes that belonged to the suspect that were worn during the incident, according to the probable cause statement.
Koki was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of aggravated murder; felony discharge of a firearm; reckless endangerment and obstruction of justice.

BHUBANESWAR: Maiden run of Amrit Bharat Express train, an indigenously built train with non-AC sleeper and unreserved coaches, got warm welcome at different railway stations in Odisha. This Malda Town-Bengaluru train was flagged off by prime minister Narendra Modi on Saturday.
The train which reached Bhubaneswar at 7.53am on Sunday was welcomed by Bhubaneswar MP Aparajita Sarangi, Rajya Sabha members Sulata Deo and Muzibulla Khan, top officials of the East Coast Railway (ECoR) and common people.
Students and teachers from various schools, rail enthusiasts along with eminent personalities boarded the train and saw the amenities and safety features of the Amrit Bharat Express which departed Bhubaneswar station at 8pm.
The train reached Jaleswar station, first station after crossing West Bengal, at 9.05pm on Saturday and departed Berhampur, last station before entering Andhra Pradesh, at 10.30am on Sunday.
Elected representatives, social workers and railway officials welcomed the new train at different stations in the state amid rhythms of traditional drum beats and classical dance performances. People at various stations captured selfies with the Amrit Bharat Express train and took photographs of the train.
Amrit Bharat Express trains are a new category of superfast passenger trains in the country. It is a LHB push pull train with non air-conditioned (AC) coaches. This train has engines at both ends for better acceleration.
“It provides improved facilities for rail passengers like beautiful and attractive designed seats, better luggage rack, mobile charging point with suitable mobile holder, LED lights, CCTV, public information system, among others,” said the ECoR official statement.
Regular service for this train will commence from Malda Town with effect from January 7 and from SMVT Bengaluru January 9. This train will leave Malda Town on every Sunday at 8.50am and arrive at Bengaluru at 3am on Tuesdays.
In the return direction, this train will leave from SMVT Bengaluru on every Tuesday at 1.50pm and reach Malda Town at 11am on Thursdays. This train will have stoppages at Jaleswar, Balasore, Soro, Bhadrak, Cuttack, Bhubaneswar, Khurda Road and Berhampur in Odisha.

Michigan home explosion heard for miles kills 4 and injures 2, police say
DETROIT (AP) — Four people died and two others were injured Saturday in a Michigan house explosion that could be heard miles away, police said.
The explosion happened before 4 p.m. in Northfield Township, about 45 miles (72.4 kilometers) west of Detroit. The structure was destroyed, leaving only the basement, Northfield Township Police Lt. David Powell told reporters Saturday.
The blast, which could be heard about 9 miles (14.4 kilometers) away, sent debris into the air that landed on both sides of a nearby highway. Neighboring homes were not damaged, Powell said.
Six people were in the home, with four fatalities discovered at the scene and the two surviving victims hospitalized in critical condition. Police did not immediately know if the victims were related, Powell said.
Authorities have not determined the cause of the explosion.
Northfield Township police did not immediately return a message from The Associated Press seeking additional information on Sunday.

Catholic Community’s Resilience: A Year of Miracles, Unity, and Recognition
In a year marked by both deep sorrow and joyous celebration, the Catholic community across the globe experienced significant events that tested its resilience and affirmed its faith. The passing of Pope Benedict XVI on New Year’s Eve 2022 cast a solemn shadow, yet the subsequent ceremonies, including his lying in state at St. Peter’s Basilica, drew thousands in a shared tribute of loss and reverence. As the mourning subsided, life-affirming events fostered renewal and unity among the faithful.
Miracles Amidst the Mourning
Despite the grief, 2023 was a year of miracles and signs of divine intervention. From the reported incorruption of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster’s body in a Benedictine Monastery in Missouri to the miraculous survival of a Virgin Mary statue amidst a devastating earthquake in Turkey that leveled a cathedral, believers found solace and hope in these phenomena. In a world often marred by chaos, the survival of Maria Lanakila Catholic Church amidst deadly Hawaiian wildfires was perceived as a beacon of divine providence.
A Vibrant Show of Faith and Unity
The year also witnessed a grand gathering of youth expressing their faith with fervor and unity. The World Youth Day in Lisbon, Portugal, brought together an estimated 1.5 million young people from around the world. The event was a vibrant display of shared beliefs, highlighted by stories of conversion and reported miracles. This global meeting of young Catholics underscored the enduring dynamism and vitality of the faith.
A Year of Recognition and Farewell
The Catholic community also celebrated the recognition of the heroic virtues of Sister Lucia dos Santos, a witness of the Fatima apparitions, by Pope Francis. This acknowledgement served as a testament to the enduring impact of Sister Lucia’s faith and devotion. Conversely, the world bid a heartfelt goodbye to Sister Andre Randon, who was the oldest person at the time of her death at 118. Her long life, dedicated to service and faith, left an indelible mark on the community.
In the realm of entertainment, the Catholic-themed film, “Sound of Freedom,” starring Catholic actor Jim Caviezel, enjoyed unexpected success, weaving faith into the fabric of popular culture. Meanwhile, Pope Francis continued his apostolic journeys despite health challenges, emphasizing the importance of unity, peace, and cooperation during his visits to numerous countries.
As 2023 comes to a close, the Catholic community reflects on a year of tested resilience, unwavering faith, and profound experiences, looking ahead to a new year with hope and anticipation.

Originally appeared on E! Online
Nick Carter returned to Instagram a week after his sister Bobbie Jean Carter's shocking death to share a sweet family moment.
On Dec. 30, the Backstreet Boys singer, 43, shared a video of his and wife Lauren Kitt Carter's eldest son Odin, 7, golfing. After the child swings and hits a ball, Nick Carter tells him, "Great shot!"
Nick Carter, who also shares daughters Saoirse, 4, and Pearl, 2, with Lauren Kitt Carter, captioned the post, "Cherishing these moments."

Bobbie Jean Carter was found unresponsive in a bathroom in her home in Tampa, Fla. on Dec. 23 and rushed to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead, police said last week. The cause of the 41-year-old's death was not released.
Celebrity Deaths: 2023's Fallen Stars
Bobbie Jean Carter's death marked the fourth major loss for Nick's family in 11 years. Their brother Aaron Carter died at age 34 in November 2022 after he was found unresponsive inside his bathtub. The cause of his death was later determined to be drowning and the effects of difluoroethane (compressed gas) and alprazolam (generic Xanax).
Entertainment News
The "I Want Candy" singer was preceded in death by sister Leslie Carter, who died of an overdose in 2012 at age 25, and dad Bob Carter, who passed away at 64 in 2017.
One day following Bobbie Jean Carter's death, sister Angel Carter—Aaron's twin—penned a message to her late sibling.
"You had a great sense of humor, and a lively spirit," she wrote on Instagram Dec. 24. "Growing up, I was your baby, and you were my best friend. Life wasn't fair to you, that I know. Sometimes, it feels like you didn't have a shot, no matter what."
She continued, "Experiencing innocence instead of being burdened by trauma, pain, and suffering is incredibly important for children, particularly at such a young age. I know why Leslie, Aaron, and now you ended up in the circumstances that you did. I share that pain we experienced during our childhood and I'm sorry you didn't have an opportunity for a better life."
Angel Carter called on people to "break down barriers, reduce stigmas, and cultivate a society where seeking mental health support is met with understanding and encouragement."
She continued, "This starts with our children, and creating healthy conversation within the home."
Aaron' Carters team also shared a message to his family following Bobbie Jean Carter's death. "This year has definitely been one with such loss and tragedy," read the statement to E! News. "May you be filled with love and comfort from supporting fans and friends through this tough time. You are not alone. We know Aaron is in heaven with his sisters and reunited. May they rest in peace."

The year 2036 will mark the centenary of creation of Odisha as an independent state. Based on language as the defining criteria, Odisha was the first state created; almost a decade ahead of the country’s Independence, thus paving the way for the country’s reorganisation on linguistic lines.
As we envisage Odisha@100, it would be edifying to see how the state with a rich tapestry of culture, history, heritage, and limitless growth potential is in sync with the grand vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make India a developed nation by 2047, the centenary year of our Independence.
Odisha stands as a witness to the nation’s rich history, culture and traditions.
The sacred land, renowned as the abode of Lord Jagannath and the architectural masterpieces, such as, Sun Temple at Konark and Lingaraj Temple at Bhubaneswar, among many others, epitomise spiritual resilience and creative excellence. Odissi, a performing dance form that captures the rich artistic sensibilities of the people of the state, and the multitude of languages and dialects spoken across Odisha, including those of the tribal communities, embody the country’s diversity and plurality. Odisha is a treasure trove of intangible heritage. The vibrant festivals like Bali Yatra and Rath Yatra, which attract millions every year, signify the state’s glorious sociospiritual traditions. The wellevolved folklore and sublime tribal arts of Odisha are integral to the cultural identity of the people of Odisha. The transformation of the mighty Ashoka as an apostle of peace and the death-defying courage of ordinary Odia sailors who set out on their voyage to establish maritime trade across the sea are some of the glorious saga of both valour and peace. Odisha’s rich depository of mineral resources like high-grade iron ore, bauxite, and coal, contribute immensely to India’s industrial development. The state’s coastline, one of the longest in India at 450 km, has been a gateway for trade and commerce since ancient times.
With such innate advantages, Odisha should have been impeccably poised as a pivotal player in realising Prime Minister Modi’s vision of making India a developed nation by 2047. But, the development of Odisha continues to be far from optimal. Basic issues, such as malnutrition, unemployment and exodus, and gender inequality have stunted the state’s growth and progress. Women’s empowerment has been one of the key drivers of Prime Minister Modi’s vision for a Viksit Bharat.
But Odisha’s record concerning crimes against women and children has been rather unwholesome. According to NCRB Report on Crimes in India for 2022, Odisha ranks second in the country in cases of assault or use of criminal force with intent to disrobe, third in assault on women, kidnapping, missing children, human trafficking, fourth in assault on women with intent to outrage her modesty, sixth in rape and dowry deaths amongst the states in India. This calls for extensive improvements in the state’s sinking law and order scenario. As we visualise Odisha in 2036 and India in 2047, we see a state and a nation on the cusp of remarkable transformation. The journey ahead is filled with immense potential. The New Year 2024, being an election year, both for the Centre and for Odisha, beckons the people of Odisha with new hopes and aspirations.
(The author is Union education minister)

Former BRI Liga 1 champions Bali United are looking to play at least two friendlies this month as they look to maintain focus for the league resumption in February 2024.
With the 2023/24 BRI Liga 1 currently on a break due to the Indonesia national team’s participation in the AFC Asian Cup 2023, Bali United are looking to restart training on 9 January 2024 at their Training Centre Bali United, Pantai Purnama, Gianyar.
With their next match in the 2023/24 BRI Liga 1 against Persik Kediri on 5 February 2024, the islanders have less than a month to tweak the squad that is currently second at the standings.
“We are looking at playing two friendlies before the match against Persik Kediri,” said Bali United head coach Stefano Cugurra.
“I believe that every team will be starting to prepare early before the start of the league next month.”

PGA Tour seeks extension on commercial deal with Saudis, private investors
(AP) - The PGA Tour believes it has made enough progress with the Saudi backers of LIV Golf to extend their negotiations into next year for a new commercial deal that would include a U.S. investment group and the European tour.
Commissioner Jay Monahan sent a memo to players on Sunday afternoon, just seven hours before the deadline to finalize the deal that was set in the June 6 framework agreement.
The PGA Tour board unanimously agreed three weeks ago to negotiate exclusively with Strategic Sports Group, a consortium of American-based professional sports teams owners led by Fenway Sports Group.
Monahan said the tour has made “meaningful progress” with SSG and provided the group with all the information it requested.
“As we move forward in our discussions, we are focused on the finalization of terms and drafts of necessary documents,” Monahan said.
Far more complicated are the negotiations with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, the financial supporters of the rival LIV Golf League which lured away Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka in 2022, and most recently Masters champion Jon Rahm earlier this month.
Monahan described conversations with PIF and the European tour as “active and productive.”
The framework agreement was to expire Dec. 31, though it included language that the deadline could be extended if all parties agreed. “We are working to extend our negotiations into next year based on the progress we have made to date,” Monahan said in his memo.
Monahan said the goal for 2024 was to reach agreements with SSG, PIF and the European tour to bring them in as minority co-investors in the for-profit PGA Tour Enterprises.
“These partnerships will allow us to unify, innovate and invest in the game for the benefit of players, fans and sponsors,” Monahan said.
Under the framework agreement, PIF Governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan would have a seat on the PGA Tour board. The agreement also included PGA Tour Enterprises doing an “objective, empirical-driven evaluation” of LIV and to determine if team golf can be integrated into the PGA Tour and European tour.
It also was to determine a “fair and objective” process for LIV players who might want to return to the PGA Tour or European tour, which is said to be a sticking point because of the players who turned down Saudi riches to remain on the PGA Tour.
The PGA Tour season begins Thursday at The Sentry on Maui, the first of eight “signature” events with a $20 million purse and limited field. LIV Golf already has announced the bulk of its 2024 schedule and $20 million purses. It starts the first week of February.

Deadly Ukrainian Strikes on Belgorod: Russia Vows Retribution
In an escalating conflict that has seen its share of tragedies, the Russian provincial capital of Belgorod experienced a devastating assault. Ukrainian strikes have led to the death of over a dozen individuals, marking one of the deadliest incidents on Russian territory since the conflict’s inception in February 2022. The missile and rocket attacks aimed at civilians, according to Russian authorities, have resulted in at least 18 fatalities as well as numerous injuries.
Repercussions and Reprisal
In response to the deadly strike, Russia’s defense ministry has pledged retaliation. The ministry maintains a firm stance that such an act ‘will not go unpunished.’ The news of the Belgorod incident has been relayed to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is expected to address it in his New Year’s Eve speech. The Kremlin has assured that the President is well-informed about the incident, which includes casualties among children.
International Reactions
Meanwhile, on the international stage, a UN Security Council meeting has been convened in New York to discuss the incident. The strike, which Moscow attributes to Ukrainian forces, has sparked an international outcry. The United Nations has denounced the attacks and urged an immediate halt, while NATO has shown solidarity with Poland after a Russian missile briefly entered Polish airspace.
Accusations and Allegations
As the conflict continues to intensify, accusations are being hurled on both sides. Russia’s foreign ministry has accused the United States and Britain of inciting Ukraine to ‘commit terrorist actions’ through Western arms deliveries. On the other hand, in response to recent Russian attacks in Ukraine that claimed at least 39 lives and caused widespread damage, Ukraine seeks continued support from Western allies. US President Joe Biden has called on Congress to approve new aid for Ukraine, while Britain has promised additional air-defense missiles.
As the conflict nears its second year, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is also expected to address his nation on New Year’s Eve. The coming days will reveal how this deadly strike may impact the ongoing conflict and the geopolitical landscape, as the world watches and waits for a resolution.

BHUBANESWAR: The New Year will see the introduction of an air-conditioned queue system for devotees waiting to enter the
Puri Jagannath Temple in Puri. Trial run of the new system was conducted by Puri police on Sunday.
An 85-metre shaded pathway with ACs, fan, CCTVs and seating facilities has been built from Marchikot chowk to the temple office on the Grand Road for devotees.
The pathway has 10 rows of metal barricades (parallel queues) with each row being 4-feet wide. More than 3,000 pilgrims can be accommodated in the AC pathway at a time. Each row has a bench attached to the metal barricade to enable devotees to sit while waiting in the queues.
"We have not seen such an AC queue management system for devotees at any shrine in the country. This concept was executed following the direction of chief minister Naveen Patnaik and 5T chairman V K Pandian. Adequate police personnel have been deployed to ensure a hassle-free darshan," inspector general of police (central range), Ashish Singh.
The significant transformation came after criticism faced by the Puri administration recently over the poor queue management and darshan system. In October and November, devotees had a harrowing time while standing for hours in queues under a shaded corridor outside the temple.
"We welcome devotees to experience the new system introduced by the state government. Convenience, safety and security of devotees matter a lot to us. The overhead shade earlier made near the Singhadwar (lion’s gate) will be removed. Devotees can now sit comfortably in the AC pathway before entering the shrine for darshan," Puri SP Kanwar Vishal Singh said, adding the administration has also made seating arrangements for 2,000 more devotees at the reception of the temple office near the AC pathway.
Devotees welcomed the new system. "I was pleasantly surprised to witness the transformation in the queue system. It used to be chaotic and painful. Though we do not need ACs in winter, this will benefit devotees a lot in the summer," said Piyush Gupta, a devotee from Delhi.

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

Originally appeared on E! Online
Nick Carter returned to Instagram a week after his sister Bobbie Jean Carter's shocking death to share a sweet family moment.
On Dec. 30, the Backstreet Boys singer, 43, shared a video of his and wife Lauren Kitt Carter's eldest son Odin, 7, golfing. After the child swings and hits a ball, Nick Carter tells him, "Great shot!"
Nick Carter, who also shares daughters Saoirse, 4, and Pearl, 2, with Lauren Kitt Carter, captioned the post, "Cherishing these moments."

Bobbie Jean Carter was found unresponsive in a bathroom in her home in Tampa, Fla. on Dec. 23 and rushed to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead, police said last week. The cause of the 41-year-old's death was not released.
Celebrity Deaths: 2023's Fallen Stars
Bobbie Jean Carter's death marked the fourth major loss for Nick's family in 11 years. Their brother Aaron Carter died at age 34 in November 2022 after he was found unresponsive inside his bathtub. The cause of his death was later determined to be drowning and the effects of difluoroethane (compressed gas) and alprazolam (generic Xanax).
Entertainment News
The "I Want Candy" singer was preceded in death by sister Leslie Carter, who died of an overdose in 2012 at age 25, and dad Bob Carter, who passed away at 64 in 2017.
One day following Bobbie Jean Carter's death, sister Angel Carter—Aaron's twin—penned a message to her late sibling.
"You had a great sense of humor, and a lively spirit," she wrote on Instagram Dec. 24. "Growing up, I was your baby, and you were my best friend. Life wasn't fair to you, that I know. Sometimes, it feels like you didn't have a shot, no matter what."
She continued, "Experiencing innocence instead of being burdened by trauma, pain, and suffering is incredibly important for children, particularly at such a young age. I know why Leslie, Aaron, and now you ended up in the circumstances that you did. I share that pain we experienced during our childhood and I'm sorry you didn't have an opportunity for a better life."
Angel Carter called on people to "break down barriers, reduce stigmas, and cultivate a society where seeking mental health support is met with understanding and encouragement."
She continued, "This starts with our children, and creating healthy conversation within the home."
Aaron' Carters team also shared a message to his family following Bobbie Jean Carter's death. "This year has definitely been one with such loss and tragedy," read the statement to E! News. "May you be filled with love and comfort from supporting fans and friends through this tough time. You are not alone. We know Aaron is in heaven with his sisters and reunited. May they rest in peace."

Escalation in Russia-Ukraine Conflict: Ukrainian Strikes on Belgorod Result in Fatalities
In a recent surge of violence in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Ukrainian strikes on the Russian city of Belgorod led to the death of over a dozen individuals. The Russian emergencies ministry reported that the strike resulted in at least 18 fatalities and numerous injuries, with children among the victims. The Russian defense ministry retorted that the strike will ‘not go unpunished.’
UN Security Council Convenes Amid Rising Tensions
Following the Belgorod incident, a UN Security Council meeting was convened in New York to discuss the situation. This strike came on the heels of Russian missile attacks on various Ukrainian cities, killing at least 39 people and causing extensive injuries and damage. The northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv also experienced fresh strikes with additional casualties. The Russian military, conducting ongoing strikes in Ukraine, claims to have successfully hit military targets.

Global Response to the Escalating Conflict
In response to the intensifying conflict, the United Nations called for an immediate cessation of attacks. Both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are scheduled to deliver New Year’s Eve speeches. Amid these tensions, Russia’s foreign ministry accused the United States and Britain of encouraging the Kyiv regime to carry out terrorist acts through their continued support and arms deliveries to Ukraine. However, the US and UK remain committed to supporting Ukraine, with the US urging Congress to approve new aid and the UK sending additional air-defense missiles.

As the world ushers in a new year, the escalating conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to dominate global headlines, with the international community closely monitoring the situation and urging for peace and stability in the region.

A Colorado mother suspected of killing two of her young children and injuring a third was arrested Saturday in the United Kingdom, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.
Kimberlee Singler's 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son were found dead on Dec. 19 when police responded to a report of a burglary at their home. Police later said the report turned out to be unfounded.
Singler, 35, initially cooperated with police but disappeared during the investigation, said Ira Cronin, spokesperson for the Colorado Springs Police Department. Authorities were unable to apprehend her after obtaining an arrest warrant Tuesday on charges of murder and attempted murder, among other allegations.
Singler was not under surveillance and was last seen in Colorado Springs on Dec. 23, said Cronin.

Authorities did not provide further details on the overseas arrest, but said they are working with multiple law enforcement agencies.
Attempts to reach Singler for comment through phone numbers listed for her were unsuccessful. Cronin said he didn't know if she has an attorney.
When police first responded to Singler’s home, they found her with minor injuries, the two children’s bodies and Singler’s 11-year-old daughter hurt. At first, Singler was treated as a burglary victim, said Cronin.

The injured girl was hospitalized for a few days before being released and is recovering in Colorado Springs, said Cronin.
The children’s deaths came amid an ongoing legal battle between Singler and her ex-husband over parenting time and other issues, according to court filings.

The children’s deaths came amid an ongoing legal battle between Singler and her ex-husband over parenting time and other issues, according to court filings.

Lithuanian Cinemas Boycott Miyazaki’s Film over Russian Connection
Lithuanian cinemas have turned away from the opportunity to screen ‘The Boy and the Heron,’ the latest work by acclaimed Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki. The film, a strong contender for the upcoming Oscars, has been enmeshed in a web of distribution rights tied to companies connected with Russia. This has led to a unanimous decision by Lithuanian cinemas to decline the screening, despite assurances that the proceeds from the film would not reach Russian shores.
Artgene, Russia and the Baltic Film Market
Artgene, an Estonian firm founded by Russian expatriates, acquired the Baltic rights to ‘The Boy and the Heron.’ The rights were passed on from Silver Box, a UK-based subsidiary of the Russian film distributor Russkiy Reportazh. The current scenario underscores a common practice in the film industry, where film rights are regionally packaged, often lumping the Baltic states with Russia.
Industry insiders in Lithuania view this practice as politically incorrect and potentially harmful. They see it as a distortion of the Baltic film market, as Russian distributors, in the wake of many American companies refusing to sell film rights to Russia, have become more aggressive in their bids, outbidding local Baltic distributors.
Call for EU Regulation
In response to the current situation, there is a growing clamor among Lithuanian industry professionals for EU regulation of the film market. They believe that such regulation could provide a solution to the issues arising from the regional packaging of film rights and the increasing dominance of Russian distributors in the Baltic market.
‘The Boy and the Heron’ Caught in the Crossfire
The film at the heart of this controversy, ‘The Boy and the Heron,’ is the latest production from Hayao Miyazaki, a director revered globally for his unique storytelling and stunning animation. Its potential absence from Lithuanian screens due to geopolitical entanglements is a stark illustration of the intricate intersections between art, politics, and commerce.

CHANDIGARH: Online fraudsters duped two more city residents of around Rs 1 lakh on the pretext of providing a room on rent and buying dining table online through OLX. On the statements of the victims, the cyber cell of UT police has registered two separate cases and started probes.
In a complaint, Parth Tandon, a resident of Sector 38, claimed that he had posted an advertisement on OLX for selling his dining table.
He received a call from a prospective buyer, who offered Rs 15,000 for the table. The fraudster withdrew Rs 74,800 from Parth’s account using dubious means.
In another case, Priyanka Rana of Una, HP, fell for an advertisement while searching for a one-room set in the city. She dialled the number given in the advertisement. The fraudsters offered her a room set in Sector 36, for which they took Rs 23,500 from the woman. Later, she found out there was no such flat available on rent in Sector 36. tnn

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.”

Russia Escalates Conflict with Massive Attack on Ukraine
On December 31, 2023, Russian forces initiated a large-scale missile and drone counter attack on Ukraine, resulting in the deaths of at least 26 individuals. The offensive, marking the largest of the 22-month invasion, targeted predominantly civilian structures – homes, schools, shopping malls, and a maternity center. The assault followed shortly after Russia accused Ukraine of striking a military ship in Crimea.
The Attack on Kharkiv
The city of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest, bore the brunt of the attack. Russian missiles and drones pounded residential buildings, cafes, offices, and a hotel. The Russian government maintained that the targets were ‘decision-making centers and military facilities,’ alleging that Ukrainian military officials and foreign mercenaries were hiding in the hotel complex. The Ukrainian Air Force retaliated by shooting down 21 out of 49 attack drones launched by Russia.
International Ramifications
The extensive bombardment led to widespread international condemnation. One of the missiles temporarily violated the airspace of Poland, a member of NATO and the European Union, heightening concerns about the potential for the conflict to spill over into other nations. The United Kingdom announced plans to bolster Ukraine’s air defense capabilities in response to the increased threat.
The Ongoing Conflict
This incident underscores the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Despite international efforts to support Ukraine, the aggression continues. In the final days of 2023, both sides escalated their attacks, with Russia killing at least 31 civilians in what is being described as its biggest air assault of the war on Ukraine. The conflict, now in its 22nd month, shows no signs of abating as the world enters a new year.

CHANDIGARH: Fog continued to plague air travel in the city for the third consecutive day. As many as 17 flights were canceled, while many incoming and outgoing flights faced delays of up to one hour.
Airport authorities said the morning visibility was at its worst, reaching close to 100m. At around 8.30pm, visibility dropped to 300m, due to which a few flights were diverted.
Officials said usually, 200-300 m visibility leads to cancellation or diversion of flights.
All the flights could only land at Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport after 10am. The flight, UK668 scheduled to depart for Delhi at 6. 55 am, departed at 8.36 am. The first flight from Pune (Indigo 6E-242) was canceled due to extremely poor visibility. The second flight (Indigo 6E-6663) from Bengaluru faced a delay of nearly three hours.
The list of canceled departing flights included Indigo 6E-2177 (Delhi), 6E-5261(Mumbai), 6E 867 (Hyderabad), and 6E-6634 (Bengaluru).
As many as 18 trains were delayed on Saturday. Agra Cantt-Hoshiarpur Express, expected to arrive in city at 3.31 am, was one of the trains to get cancelled. Officials said while there were no significant cancellations, cautionary measures were implemented in view of low visibility (less than 500 meters) at certain stretches.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict Escalates: A Grim Start to the New Year
A new year dawns under the shadow of escalating conflict between Russia and Ukraine, a grim reminder of a world grappling with war and turmoil. As Gaza takes center stage globally, Ukraine’s struggle remains a closer, significant conflict, caught in a stalemate, as it battles to push back Russian forces.
Western Support: A Delayed Response
Ukraine’s resistance against Moscow’s aggression is fraught with difficulties, largely due to a lack of adequate military support from Western allies. NATO countries, despite their superior military power, have been reluctant to furnish Ukraine with the resources necessary to counteract the Russian onslaught.
Russia’s Allies: A Contest of Autocracies
On the other hand, Russia has been fortifying its artillery with assistance from other autocratic nations. Iran is believed to have supplied drones, while North Korea has contributed a substantial number of artillery shells. This influx of resources has helped the Russian forces maintain their grip over the conflict.
Ukraine’s Dilemma: Aerial Assaults and Power Outages
Ukraine’s cities continue to bear the brunt of the conflict, with aerial assaults causing widespread power outages and infrastructural damage that have taken a toll on civilian morale. Initial optimism stemming from Russian withdrawals from regions near Kherson and Kharkiv has been dampened by the intensifying air strikes.
International Politics: An Impediment to Support
Further support from the West for Ukraine has been stymied by political disputes, and the effectiveness of sanctions imposed on Russia has come under scrutiny. Russia, meanwhile, has managed to avoid significant domestic political repercussions for its actions in Ukraine, and seems to be gearing its economy towards a prolonged conflict.
A Bleak Outlook: Waning Support and Misinformation Campaigns
There is a mounting concern that support for Ukraine may diminish in the West due to fatigue, distraction, and misinformation campaigns orchestrated by Russia. The forthcoming year may see both sides consolidating their positions on the front lines, even as Ukraine continues to endure relentless airstrikes on its civilian population.

YAMUNANAGAR: A group of protesting guest teachers under the banner of Rajkiya Atithi Adhyapak Manch were cane-charged by police in Yamunanagar district on Sunday.
They had reached Yamunangar to raise their long pending demand of regularization of their jobs.
The protestors were on move to residence of
Haryana education minister Kanwar Pal but they were stopped by the police which led to arguments and confrontations between the police and the guest teachers.
Rajendra Shastri, state president of the Manch suffered head injuries in cane-charging by police, who was rushed to civil hospital for treatment. Some protesting guest teachers were detained but released later.
A guest teacher said, "We reached here in Yamunanagar to raise our demands with the education minister but the administration showed dictatorial attitude and cane-charged us. We wanted that the government should secure the future of teachers and their children but the it is not paying any attention toward our demands. We will hold a meeting to take further decision."
Rajendra Shastri said, "The teachers are staging dharna in Karnal for last 115 days, but no attention was paid by government. Today we reached here to raise the demand before the education minister. We are not bad elements but still, we were brutally cane-charged. We will continue to struggle till our demands are fulfilled."
Yamunanagar police said that about 200 guest teachers gathered for an indefinite dharna in support of their demands. Initially, they were planning to camp near the residence of the education minister, but were not allowed. After this, they gathered in the grain market in front of the mini secretariat.
Yamunanagar superintendent of police (SP) Ganga Ram Punia said, "The guest teachers were trying to reach at education minister’s residence to start a permanent dharna. Efforts were made to persuade them but they were adamant, they tried to run toward the other gate to keep moving. They also had some arguments and scuffles with the on-duty policemen. A mild force was used to stop them. One person has suffered injuries but his condition is normal. A case is being registered."

DENVER (KDVR) — A Colorado woman accused of killing two of her children was arrested in the United Kingdom on Saturday, according to police.
Kimberlee Singler, 35, is suspected of killing her 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son and attempting to kill her 11-year-old daughter in Colorado Springs.
On Dec. 19, police said they responded to a 911 call reporting a burglary at an apartment complex at around 12:30 a.m. and found the the bodies of the two deceased children.
Officers also located Singler and her 11-year-old daughter at the scene. They were both injured and taken to hospitals for treatment, according to Colorado Springs Police Department spokesperson Ira Cronin.
Singler’s injuries were minor. The 11-year-old girl was hospitalized for a few days and then released. She is recovering well physically in Colorado Springs. Cronin said he could not release details about how the children or Singler were injured.
Police said the initial report of a burglary was unfounded.
Singler was initially cooperative with police investigating the homicides and alleged burglary. She went missing after the probe, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.
“In the initial stages of the investigation, we were treating her as a victim of a burglary,” Cronin told the Associated Press.
On Dec. 26, investigators obtained an arrest warrant for Singler on multiple charges, including multiple counts of first degree murder, child abuse and assault.
The children’s deaths came amid an ongoing legal battle between Singler and her ex-husband over parenting time and other issues, according to court filings. Court hearings had been scheduled for next month.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

OPINION
As we say goodbye to 2023 and welcome in 2024, it’s a good time to catch up on the very best of the Herald columnists we enjoyed reading over the last 12 months. From politics to sport, from business to entertainment and lifestyle, these are the voices and views our audience loved the most. Today it’s five of the top columns from Jarrod Gilbert.
Why NZ’s gangs are unique - July 10, 2023
On the Fourth of July, the United States celebrated its Independence Day. It was one such celebration over a long weekend back in 1947 that would fundamentally change New Zealand’s gang scene.
Gangs have existed in New Zealand since at least colonial times. A review of old newspaper articles reveals a number of tales, including one from the early 1900s of young gang members who had an initiation ceremony involving putting urine – both horse and human – in new members’ hats. Each to their own.
But gangs as we know them today stem directly from events during the Fourth of July celebrations in the small US town of Hollister, California, where a motorcycle event had been planned. Along with the scores of serious competitors, groups of rebellious motorcyclists – made up largely of ex-servicemen out of World War II – attended too. They had aggressive names like the Booze Fighters, Satan’s Sinners and, my personal favourite, the Pissed Off Bastards of Bloomington.
These raucous elements leered up and created significant community concern but, more importantly, they created headlines all across America and, largely via Life magazine, around the world, too. It’s widely accepted now that the media reports were overblown, one of the photos used in Life was staged, but regardless the hype around rebellious bikers was pivotal.
Alarmed by the bad publicity, the American Motorcycle Association is said to have decried the young bikers as “outlaws”, saying that just 1 per cent of motorcycle riders were making the other 99 per cent look bad. The bikers loved the sound of that. They began calling themselves outlaw motorcycle clubs and stitching diamond-shaped 1% badges on the front of their vests. On the back were large patches with their names, their territory and a logo. They formalised an internal hierarchy: a president, a vice-president, a sergeant-at-arms, and a secretary and/or treasurer.
Inspired by the events at Hollister, The Wild One, a Marlon Brando and Lee Marvin movie, was released at the end of 1953. The rebellious biker was suddenly cool.
With a remarkable degree of uniformity – in physical appearance and organisational structure – these outlaw clubs spread throughout California, around America and then the world. Read more >
Bowl me over, is this what getting old is like? - February 6, 2023
About 12 months ago, I found myself wandering around the supermarket on a Sunday morning in my slippers. I wasn’t sure what that said about me, but I was certain it was saying something.
Owning slippers was a relatively new thing, but padding up and down the aisles of my local SuperValue seems to me like a signal that I was nonchalantly strolling into old age.
Further evidence has now presented itself. I have applied for membership of the Sumner Bowling Club. Read more >
Mums, meth and mahi - a new focus for policing - April 2, 2023
Earlier this year, a quiet powerhouse within New Zealand Police, Glenn Dunbier, hung up his epaulettes and retired. During his last formal speech, he talked about mums, meth and mahi, three words that illuminate some significant changes within the New Zealand police’s operational focus, and why Dunbier will be missed.
Police officers like Dunbier tend to be invisible to the public. At a grassroots level, frontline cops are the face of the police. At the other end, at the top of the hierarchy, most people know the commissioner. The commissioner sets the overall direction of the police, and it’s the frontline police who then implement it.
That is a very long way for policy water to travel, and it was Dunbier’s job – sitting just below the commissioner – to help the river flow smoothly. As anybody who works in a large organisation knows, even the best plans will fall flat if people throughout the organisation don’t buy into them. And the New Zealand police are undertaking ambitious plans.
New Zealand’s Police Commissioner, Andy Coster, is an extremely smart man, and as such he recognises the complexity of crime and therefore that complex responses are required. Consequently, he has overseen the development of strategies that see police tackle crime in more sophisticated ways, one of which is the multi-governmental agency project called the Resilience to Organised Crime in Communities programme (ROCC). ROCC recognises that police can’t just arrest their way out of organised crime. Unless communities reject such crimes, there will always be new crooks to replace those who are sent to prison. This isn’t about ignoring traditional policing but adding to it. It’s complementing our short-term approaches like busting down doors with longer-term strategies that will mean fewer doors needing to be kicked down in the future. Read more >
Has there been a miscarriage of justice in this gang killing case? - May 29, 2023
The gangland killing of Kevin Ratana is a case that highlights both the changes and the specific dynamics of New Zealand’s gang scene; growth, territorial movement, and violence as a means of dispute resolution. It’s also potentially a miscarriage of justice.
Kevin Ratana belonged to the Mongrel Mob. He was the founding member of the Kingdom chapter, one of many new chapters that formed around a single hub in Hamilton. Here we see developments occurring in the gang scene generally.
By the late 1990s and early 2000s, many New Zealand gangs were in poor shape. The gangs had created generational barriers, meaning the gangs had aged and not rejuvenated with young members. The establishment of the Rebels, Australia’s largest outlaw club, here in 2011 signalled the beginnings of a revival.
The swift growth of the Rebels showed there was still an appetite for gang membership, but that the old, established groups had to reform to attract new members. While some failed in this, and a number of established gangs fell away, the successful ones made room for new ideas and new members. One part of this was the creation of new chapters within existing gangs; in short, this meant there were more options for people to find chapters whose culture and style appealed to them. It worked.
With this growth in chapters and membership, many gangs began to spread out, moving into different areas. This fundamentally redefined the gang scene in important ways. Turf that had been considered the domain of one gang for decades was now being contested by others.
What came next was predictable. In 2014, I wrote about the growth and movement in the scene - changes which were then in their infancy - under the headline A Return to Gang Wars?
That question has now been answered.
On the morning of August 21, 2018, a number of Black Power members converged on Ratana’s house armed with a variety of weapons and yelled out that he had a week to leave the area or he’d be killed. Ratana emerged with a gun, whereby he was felled with a single shot to the neck.
While the killing gives us insight into the changing dynamics of gangs and how this leads to violence, it is one of the convictions for the crime that tests common understandings of gangs and leaves open the possibility of a miscarriage of justice. Read more >
Why police don’t interrupt gang processions at funerals - June 26, 2023
When it comes to crime, I’m backing our police over our politicians.
The gang tangi in Ōpōtiki earlier this year certainly created real problems; but these were only heightened by politicians looking to make the most of it. All the while, the police took the action that was necessary and desirable.
Calls for the police to somehow break up the tangi and take back control of the town missed a couple of key points. Firstly, the town was never out of control by any reasonable measure. Indeed, without the political commentary and the ubiquitous reporting of media, the whole event would have gone largely unnoticed outside of the town itself. That’s not to diminish the disruptions that a large gang-attended event brings to a small town, or any place for that matter. But these things could be handled by the police.
How do I know? Because they demonstrably were. There were more column inches written about the threats that might occur than any of the threats coming to fruition.
Secondly, breaking up the tangi would have been enormously self-defeating. The police led with a questing principle that we should all live by: are the consequences of my actions in tackling an issue going to create more problems than the issue itself? In this instance, breaking up the tangi would have created more mayhem for Ōpōtiki. Imagine what that would take and what it would look like. Think about breaking up the anti-vax protests in Wellington and triple the trouble. And for what gain? Yip, there was some illegal behaviour by gang members, but among it all there was a grieving whānau, too. Read more >

Scribus, the open-source and cross-platform desktop publishing app, has been updated today to version 1.6.0, a major update containing thousands of enhancements and bug fixes.
Scribus 1.6 is here to replace the 1.4.8 stable version and the 1.5.x development series, implementing features like a revamped user interface with support for light and dark modes and new icons, HiDPI-aware canvas rendering, a new PDF-based output preview, and a Resource Manager component for accessing online resources like dictionaries.
This release also introduces a new feature that allows users to search for a particular function, a new “Weld” feature that allows users to combine objects and move them without being grouped, as well as a new “Symbol” or clone feature similar to Adobe Illustrator that allows all copies (clones) of a master object (Symbol) to be modified as well.
Several new commands have been added in Scribus 1.6 to make document creation easier and more versatile when using scripts. Moreover, this release migrates Python scripting to Python 3.x series, updates the Barcode plugin with new features like “GS1 Digital Link URIs” for retail barcoding, and adds XeLaTeX support to Render Frames.
Scribus 1.6 also has many new text features like vertical justification of text, foot and end notes, text variables, cross references, and orphans and widows control. It also provides access to advanced OpenType features, adds the ability to apply background colors for selected text, and makes typing on the canvas and text rendering faster.
Other new features in this release include a feature-rich plugin called “Picture Browser” that enables asset management for graphics files, support for all the advanced gradient types available in Adobe Illustrator and XARA Designer, support for drop shadows, as well as a configurable image cache for documents containing many large bitmap images.
Scribus 1.6 also adds the ability to open and import files created by other desktop publishing programs, such as Adobe InDesign XML (IDML), Adobe InDesign Snippets (IDMS), Adobe PageMaker (P65, PMD), Apple iWorks Pages, Microsoft Publisher (PUB), QuarkXPress Tags (XTG), VIVA Designer XML, and XARA Page & Layout Designer (XAR). Moreover, the PDF exporter now supports PDF/X-4, and PDF 1.6 and XPS formats can now be exported.
It’s also now possible to store bitmap images within its native file format rather than linking to external images and the open standard Open Raster (ORA) is now supported for complex bitmap files. In addition, Scribus can now import all bitmap files supported by GraphicsMagick, including GIMP’s native XCF format, and supports importing PGF bitmap files.
New or rewritten import filters have been added in this release for Markdown, KRA (Krita), Photoshop Custom Shapes (CSH), Micrografx Draw (DRW), Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM), Enhanced Metafile (EMF), StarView Metafile (SVM), WordPerfect Graphics (WPG), as well as RTF and DOCX documents. Also, the Adobe Illustrator and OpenDocument graphics import filters were rewritten from scratch and layers are now supported in SVG files.
Last but not least, Scribus 1.6 adds support for CIE Lab* and CIE HLC color models and new color palettes, SwatchBooker’s SBZ file format, color palettes in the Adobe Color Swatch (ACO) and AutoCAD ColorBook (ACB) formats, as well as color palettes in the new ISO standard CxF3. In addition, color precision for fill colors was expanded to a 64-bit floating point.
For Linux, Scribus 1.6 follows the XDG standard for configuration files, which means that the Scribus preferences directory was moved to a new default location, namely ~/.config/scribus/ (previously was ~/.scribus/). Under the hood, this release still uses the Qt 5.15 LTS open-source application framework.
You can download Scribus 1.6 right now from the official website. Along with the source tarball, you will find an AppImage universal binary that lets you run Scribus on virtually any GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything. Scribus is also available for installation as a Flatpak app from Flathub.

Russia Unleashes Major Missile and Drone Attack on Ukraine, Escalating Tensions
On the brink of the New Year, the Russian military forces unleashed a wave of violent missile and drone attacks on Ukraine, marking one of the most extensive offensives since the onset of the invasion nearly two years ago. The onslaught resulted in the deaths of at least 26 individuals and primarily targeted civilian infrastructure including homes, schools, a shopping mall, and a maternity hospital. This aggressive action transpired shortly after Moscow accused Ukraine of attacking a Russian military vessel in Crimea.
The Attack and Its Aftermath
The barrage of attacks primarily focused on Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, injuring at least 28 civilians. The assault, which comprised at least nine missiles and 49 drones, was directed at both civilian and military targets. The cities of Kyiv and Kharkiv bore the brunt of the onslaught, with four drones striking central Kharkiv and causing significant fires. Amidst the chaos, a missile momentarily crossed into the airspace of Poland, a member of both NATO and the European Union, adding to the already heightened international tensions.
Escalation of Violence
The increase in violence is reportedly a response to what Moscow alleged as an ‘indiscriminate’ Ukrainian air assault on the city of Belgorod, situated just across the border, which resulted in at least 22 fatalities. This escalation has seen both parties intensify their attacks in the closing week of 2023, with Russia inflicting at least 31 civilian casualties in its largest air assault on Ukraine since the war began. The United Nations reports that over 10,000 civilians have lost their lives in Ukraine to date, and more than six million have been displaced.
International Response
These developments have triggered widespread international outrage, with Ukraine’s Western allies placing the blame squarely on the Kremlin, which initiated the war. The United Kingdom, in response to the escalation of hostilities, has pledged to bolster Ukraine’s air defense capabilities to better protect the nation from future incursions. U.S. President Joe Biden has stated that he maintains regular contact with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy amidst the ongoing conflict.

CHANDIGARH:
Haryana, which has the region’s only double-engine govern - ment, has been able to maintain a good fiscal health, shown by its
budget out - lay, sanctioned projects, and the pace of their
progress. Even as the opposition accused Manohar Lal Khattar’s BJPJJP alliance government of pushing the state into a debt trap and projected that its borrowing may cross Rs 3 lakh crore, the finance department claimed the figure to be within the prescribed limit.
A senior official of the finance de - partment said: “Does any company or business run without external finan - cial support? The loans are managed for repayment without impacting the common man. Today, we have an im - pressive per-capita income.” Besides starting the work on national and state highways, Haryana has also won sanc - tions for an All-India Institute of Medi - cal Sciences (AIIMS) at Rewari, besides completing some civil airports.
As his BJP government completed nine years, Khattar claimed to have fo - cused on economic growth and indus - trial expansion beyond the National Capital Region, besides extending the Yamunanagar thermal power plant. The state’s exports have gone from Rs 68,032 crore in 2014 to more than Rs 2.45 lakh crore in the fiscal 2022-23. Its health, education, industrial, and in - frastructural sectors have also grown with help from the foreign coopera - tion department.
Taking advantage of the BJP’s holding the Centre, Hary - ana won several projects and schemes easier than neighbouring Punjab and Himachal Pradesh. Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu’s Con - gress government in Himachal Pradesh is trying to lift the state’s economy by fiscal management and all-round eco - nomic development. Its medium-term fiscal strategy is to increase the finan - cial resources.
The state’s latest budget reflected an expected revenue deficit of Rs 6,072.94 crore, Rs 1,368.81 crore higher than the estimates. The finance department’s compli - ance report tabled in the assembly suggests that the expected fiscal deficit to be Rs 12,515.73 crore against the es - timates of Rs 9,900.14 crore. The fiscal deficit in percentage of the gross state domestic product (GSDP) is expected to be 5.82%. By this report, the govern - ment’s medium-term fiscal strategy in - volves bringing buoyancy to the state’s own tax and non-tax receipts, besides tapping the central resources for fi - nancing development schemes.
Sukhu might also build financial resources through externally aided projects and use the central debt prudently by cut - ting unproductive costs. The expected tax revenue will decrease by Rs 752.33 crore, due to a drop in receipts from the SGST and lower water cess receipts. Non-tax revenue is expected to remain at the budget level. The pension expense is likely to increase by Rs 621.22 crore due to the payment of arrear and re - tirement benefits.

(NEXSTAR) — Select batches of a baby formula product have been recalled due to concerns about possible bacterial contamination, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced.
The recall affects 12.6-ounce and 19.8-ounce cans of Nutramigen Powder, produced by Reckitt Benckiser’s Mead Johnson Nutrition (MJN) and distributed to U.S. retailers over the summer. Nutramigen Powder is a specialty formula designed for infants allergic to cow’s milk.
The company said it issued the recall due to the possibility of Cronobacter sakazakii contamination in products sampled outside the U.S.
“All products in question went through extensive testing by MJN and tested negative for the bacteria,” MJN said in its press release.
Cronobacter is a germ that can cause a dangerous blood infection known as sepsis, and it can also “make the linings surrounding the brain and spinal cord swell,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Infants younger than two months old, born prematurely or with weakened immune systems are most likely to get sick from the bacteria.
No illnesses have been reported to date, and MJN said it believes most of the products have already been consumed.
The affected products are listed below. They have a “Use By Date” of “1 Jan 2025” and a UPC Code of either 300871239418 or 300871239456.
- ZL3FHG (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FMH (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FPE (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FQD (12.6 oz cans)
- ZL3FRW (19.8 oz cans)
- ZL3FXJ (12.6 oz cans)
Consumers who purchased the affected products should throw them away or contact MJN for a refund. Anyone with questions can call 866-534-9986 or email consumer.relations@rb.com for assistance.

Soldiers’ Spirit Unbroken: Celebrating New Year 2024 Amidst Conflict
In the face of adversity and challenging conditions, airborne troops stationed in the zone of a Special Military Operation are gearing up to ring in New Year 2024 with a fervor that belies their tough circumstances. Despite the starkness of their surroundings, the soldiers are investing time and effort into transforming their living spaces into festive havens.
Creating Comfort Amidst Conflict
The troops, displaying remarkable resilience and spirit, are adorning their dugouts and field locations with festive garlands, setting up Christmas trees, and bedecking the walls with holiday cards and letters from schoolchildren and students. These seemingly simple activities are imbued with immense significance, as they serve to create a sense of home comfort amidst the harsh realities of a military operation.
Boosting Morale, Fostering Well-being
The unit commanders are throwing their weight behind these efforts, understanding the critical role that a semblance of normalcy plays during the holiday season. They recognize that fostering a festive atmosphere can be instrumental in bolstering the soldiers’ morale and psychological well-being. This is not just about celebrating a holiday; it’s about ensuring that the troops remain effective in performing their combat duties under a variety of environmental conditions.
Echoes of Resilience Past
One cannot help but draw parallels between these modern-day soldiers and their predecessors. Take, for example, Eugene “Doc” Roe, a St. Martin Parish native who served as the combat medic for the legendary WWII paratrooper battalion Easy Company. Born in 1921, Roe enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1942 and was part of the historic drop into Normandy on June 6, 1944, as part of Operation Overlord. After the war, he returned to Louisiana and became a construction contractor, passing away in 1998. His story, like those of the soldiers celebrating New Year 2024, is a testament to the human spirit’s ability to find joy and comfort amidst the most challenging circumstances.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs turned around a 17-7 deficit to the Cincinnati Bengals with mostly field goals to get a crucial 25-17 victory at Arrowhead Stadium.
With this win, the Chiefs have clinched their eighth straight AFC West title and a spot in the 2023 NFL Playoffs currently as the three seed in the AFC at 10-6.
It was also KC’s first home win since October.
The Bengals notched a field goal at the end of their opening nine-minute drive and the Chiefs answered with a seven-play drive that ended with a touchdown to running back Isiah Pacheco.
The lead didn’t last long when Bengals running back Joe Mixon caught a seven-yard touchdown pass to take a 10-7 lead early in the second quarter.
A Trey Hendrickson strip-sack of Patrick Mahomes helped the Bengals get great field position and they increased their lead to 17-7 with a TD run from quarterback Jake Browning.
The Chiefs ended the half with two straight field goals to cut lead to 17-13 halftime. The last offensive play resulted in a wide-open drop from receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling on fourth down.
After a defensive stop in the red zone early in the third quarter, the Chiefs drove the field 82 yards and ended with a Harrison Butker field goal to cut their deficit to 17-16.
The Chiefs connected on their longest pass play of the year with a 67-yard catch-and-run reception from Rashee Rice that got them into the red zone at the end of the third quarter and they ended the drive with their third straight field goal that helped them take a 19-17 lead early in the fourth quarter after a Butker 24-yard field goal.
The rookie receiver led the receiving effort with 127 yards on five catches.
Butker finished the night going 6-6 on field goals, a career high.
The defense ended the night with six sacks, with two coming from safety Justin Reid and 1.5 from DE George Karlaftis who eclipsed 10 sacks for the first time in his career.
Mahomes finished with 245 yards and a touchdown.
Pacheco tallied 130 rushing yards on 18 carries, 35 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown.
With Pacheco and Rice both over 100 yards for the game, it marks the first game with a 100-yard rusher and a 100-yard receiver for the Chiefs since Pacheco (107) and Kelce (115) each reached the mark on Nov. 20, 2022, at the Los Angeles Chargers.
Tight end Travis Kelce garnered 16 yards on three catches.
The Chiefs go to the Chargers for their regular season finale at a time to be determined.

Turkish President Erdogan Calls for Global Peace, Emphasizes on Resolving Russia-Ukraine Conflict
As the world grapples with a resurgence of long-standing conflicts and new tensions, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has emerged with a clarion call for peace and unity. His plea, marked by an earnestness that transcends the political divide, underscores the need for collaborative efforts to bring an end to conflicts that bleed nations dry and cause immeasurable suffering.
Erdogan’s Call to End Conflicts
In a statement that resonates with the global community’s growing concern over the human and economic toll of protracted conflicts, Erdogan called for an end to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, among others. The Turkish leader’s words reflect a palpable urgency to address the hostilities that have spawned widespread devastation and displacement. His plea for peace extends beyond the borders of his nation, highlighting the importance of international cooperation in conflict resolution and peace-building.

Focus on Russia-Ukraine War
Erdogan’s call to action seems particularly focused on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which has been riddled with tension and violence since its inception. He has expressed a desire to see a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, offering Turkey as a neutral ground for peace talks between the two nations. This gesture is indicative of Turkey’s commitment to fostering peace and stability in the region and the world at large.

Global Unity against Injustice
Notably, Erdogan’s call for peace and unity is not limited to conflicts alone. He has been vocal about his criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza and has urged the global community to unite against such injustices. His stance against the loss of innocent lives in Gaza and his call for accountability on the international stage underscore his commitment to human rights and global justice.
In conclusion, Erdogan’s call for an end to conflicts, his emphasis on global unity against injustice, and his efforts to foster peace, reflect a much-needed perspective in today’s world. His approach underscores the importance of diplomacy, international cooperation, and collective responsibility in the face of global crises.
