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.

In a five-day major ruling party meeting last week, Kim said he will launch three more military spy satellites, produce more nuclear materials and develop attack drones this year in what observers say is an attempt to increase his leverage in future diplomacy with the U.S.
In a meeting on Sunday with commanding army officers, Kim said it is urgent to sharpen “the treasured sword” to safeguard national security, an apparent reference to his country’s nuclear weapons program. He cited “the U.S. and other hostile forces’ military confrontation moves,” according to the official Korean Central News Agency.
Kim stressed that “our army should deal a deadly blow to thoroughly annihilate them by mobilizing all the toughest means and potentialities without moment’s hesitation” if they opt for military confrontation and provocations against North Korea, KCNA said.
Experts say small-scale military clashes between North and South Korea could happen this year along their heavily armed border. They say North Korea is also expected to test-launch intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the mainland U.S. and other major new weapons.
In 2018-19, Kim met Trump in three rounds of talks on North Korea's expanding nuclear arsenal. The diplomacy fell apart after the U.S. rejected Kim's limited offer to dismantle his main nuclear complex in exchange for extensive reductions in U.S.-led sanctions.
Estimates of the size of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal vary, ranging from about 20-30 bombs to more than 100. Many foreign experts say North Korea still has some technological hurdles to overcome to produce functioning nuclear-armed ICBMs, though its shorter-range nuclear-capable missiles can reach South Korea and Japan.

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.”

The Zimbabwe Republic Police have arrested 17 suspects for illegally settling at a farm in Longlands, in the Beatrice area.
In a statement, national police spokesperson Assistant
Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the arrests.
“The Zimbabwe Republic Police confirms the arrest of
suspects in Mashonaland East for illegally settling at Longlands, Tantalon and
Dagbreek farms in Beatrice and Chivhu. 17 suspects were arrested at Longlands
and Tantalon farms in Beatrice.
“The suspects have appeared in court and are on remand.”
He said 14 other suspects who were arrested at Longlands
Farm, Beatrice on 29 December 2023, are currently in police custody awaiting a
court appearance.
“The Zimbabwe Republic Police warns land barons who are
illegally parcelling out land to desperate home seeks that they risk being
arrested and face the full wrath of the law,” he said.
He said the police have since identified land barons in
Mashonaland East and are interested in interviewing the listed suspects in
connection with the illegal parcelling of land at Longlands, Tantalon and
Dagbreek farms.
They are Michel Ndlovu, Zivengwa Mamina, Chrispen Magaya,
Shadreck Chimbare, Shepherd Jongwe, Misheck Chuma and Last Rutsvara.
The listed suspects have been urged to report to CID Chivhu
and CID Beatrice.
“The Police advises the public that only the Ministry of
Land, Agriculture, Fisheries , Water and Rural Development is mandated to
allocate agricultural land, hence those who are in need of agricultural land
should approach the ministry.
“Anyone involved in parcelling out land or making
unauthorised development on private or gazetted land will be arrested without
fear or favour,” Asst Comm Nyathi said. Herald

Even the smallest tools can have a significant impact on productivity, safety, and overall workflow. One such underrated yet indispensable tool is the step stool. A perfect companion in workplaces ranging from retail stores to bustling warehouses, the right step stool not only ensures that tasks are executed safely but also boosts efficiency. Whether you’re reaching out for a book in a cozy bookstore, stocking up items in a grand supermarket, or working in a busy workshop, having the right step stool tailored to your needs can be a game-changer.
Sometimes you just need a little bit of a boost to reach a high shelf or drawer. In these cases, a ladder would be too large and in the way; so you would use a step stool. A step stool is basically a small ladder with just a few or even only 1 step. They are meant for use when you need to get up slightly higher to reach or use something and they come in several different heights and designs.
Optimizing Your Step Stool Purchase for Business or Work
Step stools are not just household accessories; they are essential tools for many businesses. Whether you’re accessing high shelves, working on elevated projects, or assisting customers, the right step stool can make a significant difference. Here are further considerations and insights tailored for those using step stools in a work setting:
- Durability: Especially in high-traffic areas like warehouses or retail stores, durability is a must. Constant use, especially with weighty items or multiple users, can wear out a stool fast. Look for reinforced designs or models known for longevity.
- Portability:
- Lightweight designs can be carried effortlessly across different sections of a workspace.
- Foldable stools are excellent for storage and for businesses that require occasional use.
- Aesthetics: For businesses like boutiques, salons, or upscale offices where the interior design matters, choosing a step stool that aligns with your brand’s look can subtly enhance the customer’s experience.
- Frequency of Use: If the stool is being used frequently, prioritize comfort and ergonomics. A stool with a padded surface or ergonomic design can make lengthy tasks more bearable.
- Storage Solution: For businesses with limited space, step stools that nest or stack can be a game-changer. It ensures that your work environment remains clutter-free while the tools are easily accessible.
- Customer Usage: If customers will be using the stool, as in a library or retail store, it’s even more crucial to prioritize safety. Also, consider adding signage or instructions for proper use.
- Environmental Factors: For those in environments like workshops or garages, it’s vital to pick a step stool resistant to factors like oil, grease, or other chemicals.
Heavy Duty Step Stools for Your Office or Business
When evaluating heavy-duty step stools for small businesses or entrepreneurs, we consider several critical criteria to ensure safety, durability, and functionality. Here are the general criteria we use, along with their respective importance:
- Weight Capacity: (Importance: High)
- Prioritize step stools with a weight capacity suitable for the intended use. Consider the maximum weight the stool can safely support to accommodate various users or tasks.
- Material and Construction: (Importance: High)
- Assess the materials used in construction, such as steel, aluminum, or heavy-duty plastic. Look for sturdy construction and robust build quality that can withstand frequent use and heavy loads.
- Safety Features: (Importance: High)
- Check for features like non-slip surfaces, anti-skid feet, or handrails that enhance stability and prevent accidents, especially in environments where safety is paramount.
- Height and Reach: (Importance: Medium)
- Determine the stool’s height and reach, considering the intended tasks or applications. Choose a step stool with an appropriate height to provide adequate access to shelves, equipment, or work areas.
- Portability and Storage: (Importance: Medium)
- Consider the stool’s portability and ease of storage. Look for foldable or stackable designs that save space when not in use and facilitate transportation between different work areas.
- Versatility and Usage Scenarios: (Importance: Low to Medium)
- Evaluate whether the step stool can serve various purposes beyond reaching heights, such as doubling as a seat or supporting different types of tasks or environments.
- Durability and Longevity: (Importance: Low)
- Assess the durability of the step stool’s components and how well it withstands wear and tear over time. While crucial, this factor might be slightly less critical compared to safety and weight capacity.
Our methodology emphasizes safety, weight capacity, construction quality, and functionality to ensure that the selected heavy-duty step stools meet the demands of different businesses and entrepreneurial needs.

Wrench sets are not just a toolbox staple but a great long-term investment. A well-selected set of wrenches can simplify maintenance and repair tasks, make assembly easier, and loosen or tighten nuts and bolts.
Having the right tools on hand makes your work easier. You won’t waste time searching for the perfect fit. With a well-organized wrench set, you know exactly where each piece is. This way, you’ll tackle problems quicker and more efficiently. So, your wrench set isn’t just a collection of tools; it’s a productivity booster.
Types of Wrench Sets
There are multiple types of wrench sets to choose from, each with its own unique features and benefits. It’s not just about having any wrench set; it’s about having the right one for your needs. The most common types include standard (SAE), metric, and combination sets. Understanding their differences can help you make an informed decision for your business.
Standard (SAE) Wrench Sets
Standard or SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) wrench sets are primarily used in the United States. These wrenches are measured in inches and fractions. They’re ideal for businesses dealing with older, domestically manufactured machinery or vehicles. With an SAE wrench set, you’re ready for any job that involves non-metric fasteners.
In contrast, some businesses prefer metric wrench sets. These sets are measured in millimeters and are often used in the automotive industry No matter what your business specialty is, understanding the difference between SAE and metric wrench sets will ensure you have the right tool for the job.
Metric Wrench Sets
Metric wrench sets are more universally used than their SAE counterparts. They are essential for businesses dealing with modern machinery or vehicles, especially those manufactured outside of the United States. Metric wrenches, measured in millimeters, cover a broad range of sizes that can handle most jobs.
A metric wrench set is a wise investment for businesses dealing with a variety of machinery. With metric becoming the standard in many industries, these wrench sets are becoming more prevalent. Remember, being equipped with the right tools, like a metric wrench set, can keep your business running smoothly.
Small Business Deals
Combination Wrench Sets
Combination wrench sets are a smart choice for businesses that encounter a mix of fasteners. As the name suggests, combination sets include both SAE and metric sizes. This type of wrench set offers the most versatility, capable of handling a wider range of tasks.
The Best Wrench Sets for Your Business
When evaluating wrench sets, various factors contribute to their utility, durability, and versatility. Here are the general criteria we consider, along with their respective importance, and use to compile our picks below:
- Variety of Sizes and Types: (Importance: High)
- Prioritize wrench sets that offer a wide range of sizes and types (such as combination wrenches, adjustable wrenches, socket wrenches, etc.) to accommodate diverse tasks and fastener sizes commonly encountered in your work.
- Material and Build Quality: (Importance: High)
- Assess the construction materials, favoring sets made from high-quality alloy steels or chrome vanadium for durability and resistance to corrosion. Sturdy build quality ensures longevity and reliability.
- Precision and Fit: (Importance: High)
- Check for wrenches with precise manufacturing tolerances that provide a snug and secure fit on fasteners to minimize slippage and prevent rounding off nuts or bolts.
- Ratcheting Mechanism (if applicable): (Importance: Medium)
- Consider sets that include ratcheting wrenches for convenience in tight spaces or repetitive tasks. Ensure smooth ratcheting action and reversible functionality for enhanced efficiency.
- Storage and Organization: (Importance: Medium)
- Evaluate the storage case or mechanism provided with the set. Look for well-organized storage options that keep the wrenches secure, easily accessible, and prevent loss or damage.
- Grip and Ergonomics: (Importance: Medium)
- Consider wrenches with comfortable handles or grips that provide good ergonomics, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged use or when applying high torque.
- Brand Reputation and Warranty: (Importance: Low)
- While not the primary consideration, brand reputation and warranty terms can offer added assurance of quality and after-sales support. Check for reputable brands offering reasonable warranty coverage.
- Price and Value: (Importance: Low)
- Balance the price of the wrench set with the included features, quality, and the range of sizes/types provided. Choose a set that offers good value for your specific needs.
Our evaluation methodology emphasizes size variety, material quality, precision, and ergonomic design to ensure that the selected wrench set meets the diverse needs of small businesses and entrepreneurs across different tasks and applications.

Size Variety and Standards
When it comes to wrench sets, size matters. A wide variety of sizes ensures you have the right tool for any job. But remember, wrench sizes come in two different standards: metric and standard (or SAE). Understanding these standards and your tasks will make choosing the right wrench set a breeze. Variety in sizes offers convenience, versatility, and a better value for your investment.
Metric Sizes
Metric sizes are based on measurements in millimeters. They’re used worldwide, making them a practical choice if you’re dealing with machinery or equipment of international origin. Sets usually range from small sizes, such as 6mm, to larger sizes, up to 32mm or more.
A good wrench set ensures you’ll have the right tool for various tasks by offering a wide range of metric sizes. This variety makes your job easier and prevents damage to fasteners that can occur when the wrong size is used. So when choosing a wrench set, ensure it includes a comprehensive range of metric sizes.
Standard (SAE) Sizes
Also known as SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) sizes, standard sizes are used primarily in the United States. They’re based on inches and fractions of an inch. A set usually starts with small sizes, like 1/4 inch, going up to larger sizes, such as 1 1/2 inches.
Like metric sizes, having a broad range of standard sizes in your wrench set provides versatility. It ensures you’re equipped to handle a variety of tasks without having to resort to ‘close enough’ fits, which can result in fastener damage. When selecting a wrench set, make sure it offers a good range of standard sizes, especially if you’re dealing with US-made machinery or equipment.
Both Standards in One Set
For maximum versatility, look for a wrench set that offers both metric and standard sizes. This combination covers virtually any task you may encounter, making it a great choice for your business. One moment you could be working on a US-made machine, and the next, you’re dealing with an import.
You won’t have to switch between sets or buy separate ones by having metric and standard sizes in one set. This not only saves time but also offers better value for your money. So when it comes to choosing a wrench set, don’t compromise – go for one that offers both standards.
Size and Measurement Systems of Wrench Sets
Understanding wrench sets’ size and measurement systems is an important aspect of selecting the right product. Wrenches come in different sizes and are typically categorized into two main measurement systems: metric and standard (SAE). Both systems have their own applications, and it’s crucial to clearly understand each to ensure you have the right tools for your tasks.
Metric Wrench Sets
Metric wrench sets, measured in millimeters, are predominantly used in countries following the metric system. A metric wrench set can be highly beneficial if your tasks often involve working with modern or imported vehicles or machinery. They offer a wide range of sizes and are generally easy to identify because of their even, round number measurements.
On the other hand, even if you primarily use standard sizes, having a metric wrench set in your toolbox can prove handy. There might be situations where metric bolts or nuts are used, even in machinery that otherwise uses standard measurements. Therefore, a metric wrench set provides versatility and ensures you’re prepared for any situation.
Standard (SAE) Wrench Sets
Standard or SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) wrench sets are measured in inches and commonly used in the U.S. If your business mainly deals with older or domestic vehicles or machinery, a standard wrench set could be your go-to choice. Standard wrench sets might include fractional sizes, allowing you to tackle a wide range of fasteners.
Just like with the metric system, even if your business primarily uses metric sizes, having a standard wrench set at hand is beneficial. You never know when you’ll encounter a task requiring a standard-size wrench. Therefore, owning metric and standard wrench sets can ensure your business is ready for any task.
Understanding and Converting Between Systems
Understanding both metric and standard measurement systems is critical, especially when converting between them. Although many sizes in one system don’t have an exact equivalent in the other, knowing the nearest approximate size can be helpful in a pinch.
Having a conversion chart handy can make this process easier and save time. Additionally, some modern wrench sets come with marked metric and standard sizes, which can greatly simplify tasks and reduce the likelihood of mistakes. Ultimately, the key is to choose the set of wrenches that best matches the needs of your specific tasks and understand how to adapt when necessary.
FAQ
What is the difference between a metric and standard wrench set?
A metric wrench set is designed for use with fasteners that are measured in millimeters. This is commonly used in countries that use the metric system. On the other hand, a standard wrench set, also known as SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) is used for fasteners measured in inches and is common in the United States.
Why is chrome vanadium steel a popular material for wrenches?
Chrome vanadium steel is popular because it combines strength, toughness, and resistance to wear and tear. The addition of chromium and vanadium to the steel increases its hardness and durability, making it a suitable material for tools like wrenches that need to withstand high torque and regular use.
How doI maintain my wrench set to ensure it lasts?
Regular cleaning after use, proper storage, and occasional oiling are some good practices for maintenance. It’s also important not to use your wrenches for tasks they’re not designed for.
Is it better to buy an adjustable wrench or a wrench set?
The choice between an adjustable wrench and a set will depend on the task at hand. For most jobs, a wrench set provides the correct fit and allows you to apply the right amount of torque without damaging the fasteners or the tool. However, an adjustable wrench can be handy for certain tasks and for those occasional odd-sized fasteners.
How important is professional training in using wrenches?
Professional training is important because it ensures that the staff is using the tools correctly and efficiently, reducing the chances of workplace injuries. It also helps improve productivity as the staff can complete their tasks faster and more effectively with proper training.
Can old wrench sets be recycled?
Yes. Most tools are made of metal and can be recycled at local recycling centers or scrap metal dealers. However, it’s advisable to check with your local recycling guidelines as some places might have restrictions.

Leader Calderdale Council:
By Coun Jane Scullion, Leader Calderdale Council
But that doesn’t stop me from being hopeful that the coming year will be better than the last, not just for me, but for everyone. So here are my hopes for 2024.
This year, as you won’t be surprised to hear, I am really hoping that we can see better government of our country, and an end to the utter disorganisation and chaos and dodgy practices that we’ve had from Westminster. Honestly, this current government doesn’t fill me with any hope at all.

Hide AdI’ve seen people struggling to give their kids a proper Christmas, the health services under pressures, older people being afraid to put the heating on and young families as well as single people who can’t meet their mortgages following runaway inflation.
It’s definitely just not good enough, we deserve better and let’s hope 2024 can indeed be better.
Another hope for next year is that we think more about our country’s children. They give us hope for the future and we need them to be safe and happy.
Many families have had a tough couple of years with the disruption caused by the pandemic and we are still seeing the effects of that difficult time with increasing family breakup and children in need of child protection orders. More children are coming into the care of the council and that puts pressure on our social work services. We’d like to see more thriving happy families.

Hide AdI really hope that in this year we can see the number of foodbanks in our borough beginning to come down. It is pretty shocking that in a country like ours we have people, even working people, who have to turn to a foodbank to make ends meet.
In 2023, for the first time, we had reports of our younger children in Calderdale being underweight for age. The council, schools and charities have worked together to ensure that children are fed during the school holidays in recent years, but this is not a situation we should be happy to see again in 2024.
And, in spite of failing in my previous resolutions to go running every day, I do really hope that all of us who can are able to take the time to be more active in our daily lives. I’m trying to walk for short journeys rather than always taking the car out, and I’m also using our buses and trains as much as I can, thinking here as much about the health of our planet as my own. Small steps, but I do believe that together we can make a difference.
The health of our local democracy is important too. It’s not easy being a councillor nowadays when we are facing such terrible funding cuts once again from central government, but here in Calderdale our Labour administration will work hard to balance the books while trying to do our utmost to protect vital public services.

Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdLike most of us, I want Calderdale to be a place of decency, fairness, safety and hope, and I’ll do my best during 2024 to try to help bring this about.
I wish you and all your loved ones a happy, healthy and rewarding New Year.

Full audiences watched a school’s heartwarming story Community Spirit which wove a tale of friendship between a pensioner and a teenager.
The show, written and directed by Head of Drama Lizzie Anthony, was staged over three nights at Haslingden High School and Sixth Form. Miss Anthony said: “We had 80 students audition in June and we had a cast of 46, that included stage hands.
“I have loved every minute of it. It has been a big challenge for me, but the audience feedback was brilliant. They found it thought provoking, tear jerking and said the performance conveyed an important message.”
Ken, played by Aisha Kirkham, is a pensioner who is grieving the death of his wife while Kieran, played by Alistair Cox, is a teen who has lost his father in a work accident and lost his direction in his life.

After an altercation, both Ken and Kieran end up having to do community service together and eventually they unite behind a common cause. Miss Anthony said: “I came up with the idea because I live in a small village and we unite for three main events, Remembrance, the Christmas light switch on and a tractor parade, but if something happens that impacts the village, we all come together. Community is really important.
“As director, it was nerve-racking. I was so impressed by the students, they would complete six different subjects in the day, then come to rehearsals three nights a week. Some needed to get a bus home and so didn’t get back home until 6.30pm.
“The students involved learnt resilience, determination and organisation skills as well as making new friendships.”
Miss Antony thanked Drama teacher Andy Anderson for creating the scenes and organising stage hands and Head of Art Sally Tembo for painting the scenery, as well as Gary Horler for his contributions to the staging.
Alistair, 14, was delighted to secure the main role as Keiran as he has been a member of Footlights Rossendale since he was eight.
He had landed a role in Hollyoaks and one in a new show Dumping Ground, but turned them down because they clashed with his trip to the World Scout Jamboree in South Korea.
Alistair said: “I wanted to get the main role in this show because I have been acting for so long. I have never been in a school show before at Haslingden High School.
“I was quite nervous at the start and my character had to show a lot of different emotions. It was sad when we got to the end of the run because I enjoyed being on stage and the audience loved it.”
Headteacher Russell Clarke said: “Christmas Spirit has been expertly written by our very own champion of drama Miss Antony at the end of the last academic year, with the obvious inspiration being the importance of our community.
“There has never been a more important time to foster a sense of community, to demonstrate what we are capable of when we work together and why serving and thinking of others can help lift our spirits too.
“The staff and students have worked exceptionally hard and we are very proud of the wonderful show they have collectively created.”

The UK has welcomed in 2024 with a spectacular fireworks and drone display in London, while many areas were forced to cancel celebration over wet and windy conditions.
Exposed coasts and hills on the southern coast of England and in South Wales were battered by strong winds, as torrential downpours caused many to opt for a night at home rather than out on the town.
Plymouth’s Winter Wonderland event, which was due to run from 6pm to midnight, was cancelled over the high winds.
Another fireworks display in the Devon town of Barnstaple was also cancelled.

Wind and rain could spoil New Year’s Eve celebrations, Met Office warns
Squeeze on home buyers' budgets set to continue into 2024, experts say
In a post on Facebook, organsisers of the Winter Wonderland said: "Unfortunately we have taken the very difficult decision to cancel our New Year’s Eve event due to the high winds expected.
"Firstly, regarding current ticket holders, we have just instructed our ticket platform Fatsoma to refund everyone. Your payment will be returned to your bank account in the next few days.
"As much as we are very disappointed and frustrated, your safety comes first, as well as ours, and we can’t possibly take the risk."
The highest recorded wind gusts on Sunday were 74mph on the Isle of Wight, 64mph at Mumbles near Swansea, and 62mph on the Isles of Scilly.
Wind warnings remained in place until the clock struck 12 with some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport.
London was by no means the first city to herald in the new year, with Auckland and Sydney being among the first.
But while they put on a spectacular display, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has said the fireworks displays were "nothing" compared to what his city had planned.
Speaking to Sky News, Khan said the efforts Down Under will be "nothing" compared to London's after his team spent the past six months planning the showstopping event.
"We've got 12 to 13 minutes of amazing fireworks, amazing music, an amazing light display, and one or two surprises as well," he said.
Partygoers across the world celebrated the countdown to midnight on New Year’s Eve with fireworks and brightly lit signs.
It offered a hopeful start to 2024 for some, even as the world’s ongoing conflicts raised security concerns and led to muted or even cancelled festivities.
Stunning fireworks displays bloomed at famous locations such as the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, the sleek glass walls of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, in the United Arab Emirates, and accompanied a collective cheer filling the air in Nairobi, Kenya.
As the clock struck midnight in Australia, more than a million people — a number equivalent to one in five of the city’s residents — watched a 12-minute firework display focused on the Sydney Harbour Bridge from the shore and from boats in the harbour.
Organisers 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 organisers said they were prepared to ensure the safety of tens of thousands of revellers who will flood Times Square in the heart of Manhattan.
China celebrated the new calendar year relatively quietly, with most major cities banning fireworks over safety and pollution concerns.
Chinese President Xi Jinping said during his New Year address that the country would focus on building momentum for economic recovery in 2024 and pledged China would “surely be reunified” with Taiwan.
Fireworks exploded up and down the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, as clocks struck midnight in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
In India, thousands of revellers 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.
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.
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 cancelled, as last year.
After shelling in the centre of the Russian border city of Belgorod on Saturday killed 24 people, some local authorities across Russia also cancelled 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 on 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 as an act of solidarity with the Palestinians. In an overnight televised message, caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar urged Pakistanis to “show solidarity with the oppressed people of Gaza” by beginning the new year with simplicity.

Head of State received Shymkent mayor
Gabidulla Abdrakhimov thanked the President for the decision to grant the status of the city of republican subordination to Shymkent. He noted that all the Y2018 macroeconomic indicators showed a positive dynamics.
"More than 17,000 new jobs were created last year. The average salary rose by 6.6% and made 113,700 tenge. The average per capita income increased by 19% and reached 60,427 tenge," Abdrakhimov said and added that utility prices had been reduced.
In turn, the President noted that the governors of the regions must further focus on social protection, education, healthcare issues, as well as on regulation of utility prices, roads quality, landscaping, street lighting, public security, water and electricity supply, public transport and utility services.
The Head of State stressed that these issues would be under special control of the Presidential Administration.

The Carolina Panthers have had a terrible, terrible season from hell, and it only hit a new low on Sunday.
Scoring zero points in a 26-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars — who were starting backup quarterback C.J. Beathard — as Bryce Young’s brutal rookie season comes to a near-close wasn’t even the worst part of the day.
Averaging 2.3 yards per play and not crossing 100 total yards until the fourth quarter wasn’t the lowest point of the day for the Panthers.
No, in a moment of what can (at best) be described as a brief loss of control, Panthers team owner David Tepper appeared to throw a drink at an unruly Jaguars fan who was in front of him toward the end of the game. Tepper's Panthers have been unequivocally the worst team in the league this year, but there is simply no excuse for this behavior in the middle of tough times — particularly from his perch as the owner of a NFL team.
"We are aware of the video and have no further comment at this time," the NFL said in a statement, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. The Panthers themselves, meanwhile, still haven't commented.
This is just flat-out a rotten way to behave. Fights have been ignited over throwing drinks on people. It’s one of the most disrespectful, non-physical things a human can do to another human. Alcohol with backwash all over a t-shirt or an expensive jersey ain’t cool, man. Especially amid the power dynamics of Tepper not just being a team owner, but one of the singularly richest people in the entire world.
Tepper might as well be an anonymous person on the internet in that scenario. He’s completely untouchable as a person of his financial and social stature. He would never suffer a real punishment for behaving in this fashion because there is nothing that the person who got the drink poured on him can do. It’s an abuse of power as much as it is just a lame thing to do.
To take it a step further, if this is how Tepper is acting in public, it's easy to see why the Panthers have had so many head coaches in the brief time that Tepper has owned the team. It was an illogical, rushed, emotional response that puts him and his decision making under further scrutiny and gives partial context as to why the Panthers have been so dysfunctional over the past few years. A rotating door of head coaches and their interim replacements, musical chairs at quarterback, trading up for Young when the roster clearly wasn't ready to support a rookie quarterback — and now, this unruly moment that has been caught on camera.
Panthers fans are already (kind of) joking about whether or not this moment can be used to strip Tepper of his ownership. That isn’t going to happen. It takes a lot more than that for someone to lose their team, but it does paint the picture of where this team is.
The Panthers are just 31-67 since Tepper took over in 2018 and he’s about to hire his third full-time head coach in that timespan with a roster that doesn’t appear anywhere close to competing, even in the dismal NFC South.
At some point Tepper is going to have to stumble into success by mistake, even with his rash and hasty decision-making.
The part here that resonates beyond football is that everyone knows Tepper won’t or can’t face real discipline through this due to the power he holds. When you’re this wealthy in America, this is sadly one of the perks afforded to you.
The only hope here is that Tepper can see this as a moment of weakness and hopefully make changes for himself that will make the Panthers a respected franchise again. It simply doesn’t have to be like this.

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.

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.

The man who paid US$4 426 lobola with part of the US$195 000 he stole from Mahomed Mussa Wholesalers, his employer, has been slapped with a two-year jail term.
Chamunorwa Muvhuti (40), who was a merchandiser at Mahomed
Mussa, was convicted by Harare magistrate Mrs Apollonia Marutya after finding
him guilty of theft.
Muvhuti had pleaded guilty. In mitigation, Muvhuti told the
court that the employer was not paying enough.
Mrs Marutya initially sentenced Muvhuti to 36 months in
prison before setting aside six months on the condition that he would not
commit a similar offence in the next five years and another six months were
suspended on condition Muvhuti pays US$5 000 restitution to Mohammed Mussa
before February 28 next year.
In her sentence ruling, Mrs Marutya said the court had
considered that Muvhuti was a first offender and did not waste the court’s time
and resources.
She recognised that Muvhuti was a family man and had
children who are under-age to look after.
Most of the money was recovered and Muvhuti did not benefit
enough from it.
“However, the accused breached the trust between him and
the complainant who is the company,” said Mrs Marutya.
On December 21, around 5pm Muvhuti connived with Jeremiah
Kwenda and Phineas Moyo, who are security guards at Mohamed Mussa, and hid in
the shop where he was locked inside when it closed.
He used a sharp metal object to break a black portable safe
away from the wall and took it away.
The next day, the business discovered the safe was missing
and made a police report. On Christmas Day, detectives arrested Muvhuti in
Mupande Village, Chief Chitsungo in Pfungwe, where he had gone to pay lobola to
his in-laws.
The court heard that Muvhuti led the police to the recovery
of US$186 100 at his home in Chitungwiza.
He also led police to the recovery of a black portable safe
that was positively identified by the complainant as the one that had been
stolen from the shop together with the US$195 000. Herald

Kansas City shut out the Bengals in the second half and rallied from as much as a 10-point deficit for a 25-17 win Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. Here are three takeaways from the loss.
1. Bengals offense stalled
Jake Browning continued to show he belongs as one of the league’s best backup quarterbacks this season, as he got off to a fast start, converting four straight third downs and getting it done with his legs when needed. The Bengals scored 17 points on their first three drives. Unfortunately, that ended up being all they could muster. The closest they came after that was on a failed fourth-and-1 attempt inside the 10-yard line.
Browning completed 19 of 31 passes 197 yards and a touchdown, to go along with 32 yards rushing and one rushing touchdown, but he was doing well enough to give the Bengals a chance.
The offense just struggled in the second half, and some of that was on Browning, but Kansas City’s defensive front lived up to expectations and had a lot to do with the Bengals not being able to move the ball efficiently. Browning was sacked six times – five times in the second half, including four times on the final drive. Both Tee Higgins (hamstring) and Ja’Marr Chase (shoulder) played through injuries with the season on the line.
Cincinnati was running the ball well in the first half with 86 yards on 24 carries, but the Bengals managed just 18 yards on eight carries in the second half. Joe Mixon, who had the team’s lone receiving touchdown, finished with 65 yards on 21 carries.
2. Defense up and down
There were a lot of positives on defense when it came to third-down and redzone stops and turnovers, and usually doing well in those areas equates to a win. That obviously wasn’t the case.
Trey Hendrickson’s strip sack on Patrick Mahomes helped the Bengals build their 17-7 lead in the first half, as Sam Hubbard recovered to put the offense at the Kansas City 24-yard line. Browning capped the short drive with his rushing touchdown, and the Bengals had the momentum while Kansas City could only respond with a pair of field goals before halftime.
Cincinnati’s defense gave up a touchdown its first drive but didn’t break in the redzone after that and limited Kansas City to six field goals. That should have been enough; however, the struggles in between the 20s ultimately cost the Bengals their lead. Harrison Butker, whose last-seconds field goal beat the Bengals in the AFC Championship game last year, once again beat them – this time with consistency. He didn’t miss.
Explosive plays and run defense, as usual, proved costly. The Bengals forced just one punt Sunday and allowed six plays of 20 yards or more, including a long of 67 on a pass from Mahomes to Rashee Rice. Running back Isiah Pacheco, who was questionable going into the weekend, finished with 130 yards on 18 carries, including 88 yards on just five attempts in the first half and two plays of 20 yards or more.
3. Eliminated from playoff contention
This was supposed to be Cincinnati’s big year with all of its offensive weapons back from last year’s team that made it to a second straight AFC North title and AFC Championship game. However, when Joe Burrow went down for the season Nov. 26, no one expected the Bengals to even be in contention this late. A win would have kept them in it.
Last week’s loss at Pittsburgh made it so the Bengals likely would need to win their last two games to get in, but when the Browns, Colts, Bills, Texans and Steelers all won Sunday, any outside help they might have received was gone. Cleveland likely will be resting starters in the finale after securing the No. 5 seed in the AFC, so Cincinnati had perhaps an easier path to the playoffs next week.
Not being able to hold a lead against the Chiefs made next week moot. Even if the Bengals beat the Browns, they’ll be missing the playoffs for the first time since 2020. The regular-season finale likely will mark the end of some key players’ time in Cincinnati, and it will be a long offseason.

Happy New Year!
Welcome to The Playlist: my weekly column that lets you know who and what to play — when it comes to music or other things in my rotation — for the upcoming week in fantasy basketball.
Each week, you'll see a compilation of the pickups you need to make, lineup notes (who's in and out of rotations), followed by key takeaways on the schedule.
So press play and shuffle through the latest fantasy basketball info.
ICYMI:A significant trade went down on Saturday in the Eastern Conference between the New York Knicks and Toronto Raptors.
O.G. Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Malachi Flynn were traded to the New York Knicks
RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and a 2024 second-round pick were traded to the Toronto Raptors
Fantasy impact:
Quickley will be the biggest winner of this trade, as he'll see more minutes for a Raptors franchise that likely isn't finished making moves on its journey to a rebuild. With Dennis Schröder moving to the bench, there's a good chance IQ starts from the jump, but remember, the Raptors will still showcase Gary Trent Jr. in addition to Schröder in the hopes of increasing their trade value. Keep your eyes on the prize and ensure Quickley's not available on waivers because he could be the point guard Toronto's been looking for.
Anunoby has disappointed this season, ranking outside the top 100 in 9-category and points leagues. Still, now that he's landed in New York, we'll see a rejuvenated version with more minutes and an expanded role as the third option on offense.
Barrett should become a fan-favorite returning to Ontario, and the change of scenery is probably a good thing. Still, he's outside the top 200 in 9-category leagues and top 100 in points leagues, so he'll have to show more than scoring 18 points per night if he's going to be worth holding onto.
Achiuwa will likely see minutes behind Isaiah Hartenstein with Jericho Sims (groin) out of the lineup. He'll be much-needed depth for the Knicks, who are currently trotting out old af Taj Gibson. He's someone to add to your watchlist in 12+ team leagues.
Who's in my rotation: players to pick up on waivers that are less than 50% rostered in Yahoo leagues
Must adds in Week 11:
Dante Exum - PG/SG, Dallas Mavericks (38% rostered)
Y'all are dropping the ball if Exum is sitting on waivers. Mavs HC Jason Kidd announced that Exum would remain in the starting lineup after Kyrie Irving (heel) is healthy, which means you can confidently hold Exum for the foreseeable future. He's been outstanding for the Mavs and fantasy managers, charting as a top 70 player in per-game value over the last month in 9-category leagues and top 100 in points formats. He's doing everything but blocking shots for fantasy managers, and he is a must-roster, no matter the format.
Nick Richards - C. Charlotte Hornets (34%)
The Hornets' injury reporting is becoming more suspect than Puffy's track record. Mark Williams has been listed as day-to-day since early December, missing 10 straight games with a lower back contusion and no substantive update on when he'll return. Alas, Nick Richards is filling the void, averaging very close to a double-double as a starter this year. He's had a few duds here and there, but he's also provided fantasy managers with four double-doubles over his last six outings. With no clarity on Mark Williams, Richards must be rostered in all leagues.
Duncan Robinson - SG/SF, Miami Heat (50%)
The injury bug is back in Miami, leaving more opportunity for Duncan Robinson to continue his career year. Robinson has been a top 90 player in 9-category leagues for much of the season and will be a consistent scoring threat with efficiency and sneaky assists. He's getting close to 30 minutes per night, which won't change anytime soon.
Players to hold in Week 11:
Derrick Jones Jr. - SF, Dallas Mavericks (20%)
Like Exum, Kidd included DJJ in his starting lineup once Irving returns, which is great for fantasy managers. He's still under-rostered, given his ability to knock down threes and generate stocks. He's averaging 2.4 stocks per game over his last five games, with 13.6 points and 5.2 rebounds. Dallas will play four games in Week 11 with plus matchups against the Jazz and Trail Blazers twice — keep rolling with DJJ.
Alex Caruso - PG/SG, Chicago Bulls (41%)
Over the past week, he's been a top 100 player, posting 13.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.3 threes, and 1.3 steals in just under 30 minutes per game. As long as he's healthy, Caruso should be rostered. He's a stat stuffer who can raise the floor of your fantasy team defensively.
Malik Beasley - SG/SF, Milwaukee Bucks (41%)
Beasley's been trending down over the past week, falling under 50% and quickly approaching only 40%. However, he's heating back up, so grab him if you can. The Bucks have a favorable schedule in Week 11, and the three-point specialist has been cashing threes at a high rate (10 over his past two games). With games on Monday, Tuesday and Saturday, you'll likely get multiple days of production from just one transaction.
Day'Ron Sharpe - C, Brooklyn Nets (22%)
A per-minute beast, Sharpe has been a massive boost for fantasy managers lately. He ranked 65th in 9-category leagues in Week 10 and has produced in under 20 minutes per game. Over the past six games, Sharpe has averaged 11.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 3.0 assists. 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks while shooting 68% from the field. He's not a good free-throw shooter but the counting stats make him worth holding at the moment.
Players to stream in Week 11:
Tre Jones - PG, San Antonio Spurs (47%)
Jones' minutes have been steady over the last three games, with at least 27 minutes each. He's filled up the stat sheet, posting 9.6 points, 6.0 assists and 5.7 rebounds while shooting an efficient 55% from the field. The Spurs play on two of their three games on Tuesday and Thursday, making him a viable stream in Week 11, assuming his minutes hold.
Patrick Williams - PF, Chicago Bulls (45%)
He's not a must add, considering two of his three matchups are against the Sixers and Knicks, but he's been useful and a top 100 player in 9-category leagues over the past two weeks. He's scored at least 13 points with a three-pointer in seven of his last eight games. He could sneak in a couple of stocks, too.
Malaki Branham - PG/SG/SF, San Antonio Spurs (9%)
Pop's rotations have been interesting, to say the least. He's tried Jeremy Sochan and now Branham at point guard before giving Tre Jones a shot. Branham's started the past 11 games for San Antonio and is averaging close to 11 points with three rebounds and three assists across 19 starts this year. It's nothing huge, but similar to Jones, playing on Tuesday and Thursday can get a couple of days' worth of production out of one transaction. His three positional eligibility helps, too.
Jonathan Kuminga - PF, Golden State Warriors (32%)
Draymond Green is rumored to return sometime between January 4-7th, which means Kuminga's days are likely numbered as a starter. But before we officially begin the countdown, JK's scoring and rebounding could be valuable this week. The Warriors play on Tuesday and Thursday as part of their four-game week, so he'll get run on the lighter slates.
Watchlist for Week 11:
Goga Bitadze - C, Orlando Magic (22%)
Wendell Carter Jr. missed Friday and Sunday's games with knee soreness, which offered up two starts for Bitadze, where he didn't disappoint. He's blocked at least one shot in 11 of his last 12 games and is averaging 2.6 stocks in 21 starts this year. If you need blocks and Wendell sits, he's worth streaming with the Magic playing four games in Week 11.
Jabari Walker - SF/ PF, Portland Trail Blazers (4%)
Deandre Ayton (knee) and Duop Reath (back) missed the past two games, and Walker broke out in a significant way in Saturday's win over the Spurs, delivering a career-high 25 points (7-11 FG, 11-13 FT) with nine boards, one assists, one steal and one block in 30 minutes off the bench.
Other streaming options:
Shallow leagues:
Immanuel Quickley - PG/SG, Toronto Raptors (62%)
Brandin Podziemski - SG, Golden State Warriors (57%)
Jaden McDaniels - SF/PF, Minnesota Timberwolves (51%)
Kelly Oubre Jr. - SF, Philadelphia 76ers (47%)
Deep leagues:
Dario Šarić - PF/C, Golden State Warriors (25%)
Gary Trent Jr. - PG/SG, Toronto Raptors (36%)
Keyonte George - PG/SG, Utah Jazz (32%)
Paul Reed - PF/C, Philadelphia 76ers (32%)
Donte DiVincenzo - SG/SF, New York Knicks (23%)
Aaron Nesmith - SF/PF, Indiana Pacers (27%)
Jalen Smith - PF/C, Indiana Pacers (17%)
Cody Martin - SG/SF, Charlotte Hornets (2%)
Rotation notes:
X-rays negative on Heat F Jimmy Butler's foot
The play: Butler's missed eight games this season, but the foot injury is new. Heat HC Erik Spoelstra didn't provide an update on Butler's status, so he's already been ruled out for Monday. Fantasy managers can assume he'll be limited in Week 11, so keep riding with Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Duncan Robinson.
Nuggets F Aaron Gordon (dog bite) expects to return on Monday
The play: Peyton Watson can be dropped now that Gordon is trending towards playing on Monday. This is a welcomed news update, as it seemed like Gordon would miss an extended period dealing with lacerations on his face and shooting hand.

After witnessing a flurry of rare development projects in the run-up to the August elections, residents of Bulawayo’s sprawling high-density suburb of Cowdray Park are now facing the reality of the rest of Zimbabwe’s urban dwellers.
The development starved residents have once again been left
alone to contend with poor roads, acute water shortages, long hours without
electricity and high food prices after a frenzied few weeks during the election
campaign period where they were promised heaven on earth in return for their
votes.
Cowdray Park Constituency, which was among the new
constituencies created by last year’s controversial delimitation exercise was
coveted by Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube, who stood on
a Zanu PF ticket.
Ncube, a respected economist and academic who was wooed by
President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s post-coup government in 2018 to help resuscitate
Zimbabwe’s moribund economy, sunk thousands of United States dollars into
various projects to win the hearts and minds of the often neglected residents.
The former African Development Bank vice president hoped to
win his first election after he was handpicked by the 81-year-old ruler as one
of the non-constituency MPs for the ministerial post.
His critics accused him of brazen vote buying as he only
started funding projects such as road rehabilitation, nurse aid training
courses, connection of households to the electricity grid, rolling out of free
WiFi access points and drilling of boreholes after he was confirmed as the Zanu
PF candidate in March this year.
Ncube eventually lost the election to Pashor Sibanda of the
opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) in what was considered to be one
of the biggest upsets of the August 23 and 24 polls.
Cowdray Park, however, is now in Zanu PF hands after
Sibanda was controversially recalled by self-styled CCC Secretary General
Sengezo Tshabangu.
Zanu PF’s Arthur
Mujeyi is the new MP for Bulawayo’s largest suburb by population after
Tshabangu blocked Sibanda from contesting the December 9 by-elections.
After a pre-election investigation by CITE in partnership
with the Information for Development Trust (IDT), a non-profit organisation
supporting investigative journalism in Zimbabwe and southern Africa,
demonstrated how Ncube enjoyed an unfair advantage over other candidates by
using money, a follow-up probe has shown that the picture in the constituency
has changed dramatically.
While Cowdray Park residents can still access free WiFi at
designated points, the rehabilitation of the badly damaged road network which
was initiated by Ncube as part of his campaign has since stopped.
Some of the boreholes that were drilled as part of the
minister’s hunt for votes have broken down and Cowdray Park residents, like
everyone in the city, are bearing the brunt of Bulawayo’s 120-hour water
rationing schedule.
Bulawayo is grappling with a critical shortage of water
because its supply dams are failing to cope with demand and the situation has
been worsened by frequent power cuts.
Thousands of Cowdray Park residents still have no access to
electricity as Ncube is yet to deliver on his promise to supply 38 transformers
that will enable the connection of their houses to the grid for the first time.
A Bulawayo United Residents Association official in Cowdray
Park said some of the projects initiated by Ncube in the run-up to the
elections were at a standstill.
“There are projects that were initiated by Mthuli Ncube
when he wanted to be the MP such as the drilling of boreholes, WiFi access
points and rehabilitation of roads,” the official told CITE.
“The tarring of the road from Caravan to eMpompini was
completed (before the elections), but the other road is yet to be completed and
he promised to come back.
“Some of the boreholes are no longer functional, but
residents can still access the WiFi.”
Joseph Phiri, the Bulawayo Progressive Residents
Association chairperson in Cowdray Park, said the hoped that Ncube will fulfil
the pledges he made to improve the living conditions for residents in the
suburb although he lost the elections.
“The WiFi is still accessible, but the boreholes are not
functional and there is no water,” Phiri said. “All the other projects are
stagnant.
“We do love Mthuli because he fixed some of our roads and
drilled boreholes for us and at the moment two are still functional.
“He might feel hurt that he lost, but it was not because
people don’t love him. It was the jacket he was wearing (his political party).”
Nicholas Ngwenya, a community leader from the eMpompini
section of Cowdray Park, said Ncube recently addressed a residents meeting in
the area where he pledged that all the projects that he initiated will be
resuscitated.
“Ncube said he will continue with his efforts to turn
Cowdray Park into a smart city as per the promises he made in his election
manifesto,” Ngwenya said.
“He said youths had started enrolling for different courses
and that the rehabilitation of roads will resume soon as the programme was
disrupted by rains.
“He also said people will continue accessing WiFi and he
will work with Mujeyi (the new MP).
Ngwenya said the minister also promised to help youths in
the suburb to set up a community radio station.
Nkosilathi Hove Mpofu, the councilor for ward 6 in Cowdray
Park, said he was worried about the pause in the road rehabilitation and the
non-functioning boreholes.
“When I inspected the boreholes only three were functional,
some had dried up and there was no pumping equipment in some of them,” Mpofu
said.
Sibanda, the former MP, said they wanted to see the
projects initiated by Ncube being sustained but added that there was need to
consult residents first instead of imposing development on them.
“Our priority in this side of Cowdray Park is the issue of
sewer,” he said. “Our people do not have a proper sewer system and rely on
Blair toilets.”
Mujeyi, the new MP, said he was inspired by what Ncube did
in the run-up to the elections and will ensure that the projects spearheaded by
the minister are revived.
He said he will push for the completion of the road
projects and drilling of boreholes that were initiated by the Treasury boss.
Ncube did not respond to numerous phone calls when attempts
were made to get his comment on residents’ concerns.
According to the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency’s 2022
population census preliminary report,
Cowdray Park is the second most populous suburb in Zimbabwe after Harare’s
Budiriro with a population of 75 000 people.
Budiriro has 89 287 people.
Cowdray Park’s population is bigger than that of the
Matabeleland South capital Gwanda, which has 27 143 people and the coal mining
town of Hwange in Matabeleland North, which has a population of 40 241.
The Bulawayo suburb, which was in the hands of the
opposition since it was captured by the MDC led by the late Morgan Tsvangirai
in 2000, has thousands of residents that have gone for years without access to
electricity, water or a sewer system. CITE

A group of Year 11 pupils and sixth form students took part in the annual Young Citizens UK National Mock Bar Trial competition at a Crown Court.
The Mock Trial team was selected in August from a group of pupils and students who had a real interest in law and politics, and they began their training for the competition in November. The team was made up of seven Year 11 pupils from main school and six students from across the sixth form, all taking on specific roles needed in a trial.
Using the resources that are supplied, including specially written criminal cases, they began preparing legal arguments and practising them in school on a regular basis. They also had the opportunity to visit Preston Crown Court and meet Judge Jeffries KC, barristers, and to sit in on a trial itself.

Lancashire accent and its Rs 'will die in the next few generations'
They asked Judge Jeffries KC very insightful questions and got a real insight into the workings of a courtroom and what was expected in the upcoming competition. Students were also provided with a Barrister Mentor, Joe Allman.
Joe is a specialist prosecutor with the Crime Prosecution Service and specialises in Counter-Terrorism and Organised Crime based in Manchester, Lincoln Chambers.
He watched the students run through their legal arguments and offered lots of helpful advice and suggestions. Joe was very impressed with the confidence of the students and the progress they had made ready for the regional heat where they would go head-to-head with other Sixth Form Colleges in the area.
Mr Allman said: “The whole team is clearly bright and capable. I can’t believe none of you have done this competition before! Your standard is high.”
The team gathered in the early morning of Saturday, November 18 and made their way to Preston Crown Court.
Once there they set to work prosecuting and defending their cases against Queen Elizabeth School, Winstanley College and Cardinal Newman College.
The witnesses and defendant held their own under cross examinations and some of the students acted as members of the jury for other trials, as well as Court Clerk and Court Usher. They were now all well versed in the minutiae of the Computer Misuse Act 1990 and the law regarding public nuisance.
At the end of the day there was the opportunity for an in-depth Question and Answer session with the judges who had presided over the mock cases. Although the school did not get through to the next round of the competition, staff say they were happy with their pupils’ performance, especially as it was their first year competing.
Year 12 student Sebastian Bernabe, said: “I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. It was fun to discuss and research laws that are relevant and controversial today. The day of the competition was fantastic. It was a great opportunity to meet like-minded people. I felt a rush of adrenaline when standing in court as a barrister; I particularly enjoyed the cross-examination.”
The Young Citizens Bar Mock Trial competition has been running for more than 30 years and is open to 15-18 year-olds from non-fee paying schools across the UK.
The competition helps young people understand how the law touches every aspect of their lives, gaining an insight into how the legal justice system works.
By taking part in the competition the pupils and students gained a sound knowledge and understanding of the role of the law and justice system in our society and helped to improve their critical thinking and boost their confidence.
Ellie Smith, Head of Law A level, said: “We are so proud of our students. They put in so much time and effort to prepare for this competition and we all got so much out of it. I think many of them are now set on a career in the justice system.”

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.

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

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.

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."

A group of people have spread festive cheer to more than 1,000 children and their families by creating a magical Winter Wonderland.
Debbie Howard from Oswaldtwistle with the help of others transformed Union Road Community Church into a festive paradise for three days this month. The church was adorned with Christmas trees.
The floor was covered in white material to give the look of snow in the sparkling Winter Wonderland. Other decorations included a light up penguin, snowman and reindeers as well as an eight foot fireplace made by committee member, Derek Taylor.
Debbie, who works with women struggling with trauma, said: “It was magical and we hope to do this again next year.
“Families who are struggling have said that they would not have been able to have given their children this experience without help due to the cost of living crisis.

“We had a lot of large families with five to eight children. The children absolutely loved it. This year we were very mindful about being inclusive and having disabled access, and so the church kindly let us use their premises.
“We would not have been able to do this without the generosity from the community.”
Earlier this month, Debbie and Jan Partington visited eight schools in Oswaldtwistle dressed as elves; St Mary’s Roman Catholic Primary School, St Paul’s Church of England Primary School, Moor End Primary School, St Andrew’s CE Primary School, West End Primary School, St. Oswald’s RC Primary, White Ash Special School and Hippings Methodist Primary School.
They told the children Santa had a special request and has asked them to decorate the 1,600 wooden baubles Debbie’s son, Joseph had carefully cut out. The young guests excitedly weaved their way through a delightful Winter Wonderland which led on to Candy Cane Lane where their decorated baubles were featured. Guests were then transported to North Pole Road and stepped into the grotto to see Santa who gave every child a gift.
Debbie’s sister, Michelle Clayton created a space in which children could send letters to heaven to missed loved ones.
They also had the option to write a letter to Father Christmas and to participate in an elf workshop.
Last year Debbie hosted the event at a former letting agents’ shop which she purchased on Union Road with the intention of transforming it into a well-being coffee shop.
She decided to use her empty shop to create a memorable Christmas for struggling families after hearing about how the cost of living is impacting them.
After the event Debbie and those who got involved formed a committee of 12 people ages 11 to 62 in the hope to run the event annually.
Last year the two-day event saw 600 children attending. This year that figure has more than doubled with just over 1,000 children visiting the venue on Saturday, December 16 and Sunday, December 17, while 130 youngsters with special needs, sensory issues and disabilities had a dedicated day to them on Friday, December 15.
The committee, who call themselves the ‘Ossy Elves’, fundraised all year to make this event possible.
They had a tombola stall at Accrington Carnival and hosted a cheese and wine evening as well as a turkey and tinsel evening.
Derek Taylor and Lauren Goodwin Photography captured families’ special moments. Local businesses also donated selection boxes.
The committee is continuing to spread Christmas cheer even though the event has ended by dropping off Christmas presents to families in need.
School children were also sent Santa’s Nice List certificates for ‘outstanding behaviour and kindness’.

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.

A Colorado woman accused of killing two of her children and injuring a third was arrested in the United Kingdom on Saturday, authorities said.
According to the Colorado Springs Police Department, Kimberlee Singler, 35, of Colorado Springs, was arrested in the United Kingdom “without incident,” The Denver Post reported. No other details about the arrest were immediately available and the exact location where Singler was arrested was unclear, according to KUSA-TV.
Authorities issued an arrest warrant for Singler on murder and attempted murder charges after her 7-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter were found dead in a home on Dec. 19, while her 11-year-old daughter was hospitalized.
According to KUSA, the children’s father, Kevin Wentz, identified the deceased children as Aden Wentz, 7; and Elianna “Ellie” Wentz, 9.

Police had responded to a report of a burglary at the residence, but it turned out to be unfounded, according to The Associated Press.
Singler initially cooperated with authorities but then went missing as the investigation progressed, Colorado Springs Police Department spokesperson Ira Cronin said. She was last seen on Dec. 23, police said.
On Dec. 26, police issued a warrant for Singler’s arrest on four counts of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder, three counts of child abuse and one count of first-degree assault, KUSA reported.
The 11-year-old girl was hospitalized for a few days before being released, Cronin said. She is recovering in Colorado Springs, according to the AP.
The children’s deaths came during a legal battle between Singler and her ex-husband over parenting time and other issues, the AP reported, citing court filings. Hearings had been scheduled for next month.
“Detectives with the Colorado Springs Police Department’s homicide unit continue to work closely with multiple law enforcement agencies in pursuing the ongoing investigation,” the Colorado Springs Police Department said in a statement.

This article is part of our NFL Reactions series.
Happy New Year to all. For those who were in fantasy championships, hopefully fate was on your side. To others who didn't have the best fantasy season, we'll expect that next year will bring better fortune. With many preparing for New Year's Eve, this article will be published earlier than usual, but the reactions on the late-afternoon games will be added earlyMonday. Let's look at Sunday's NFL action.
Reactions
- The Ravens continued their destruction of the better teams in the NFL. Although Miami had an early 10-7 lead, Baltimore outscored the Dolphins 49-9 the rest of the way. Lamar Jackson had a signature performance. Jackson wasn't needed as a runner, but he passed for 321 yards and five touchdowns. In the last two weeks, Jackson has made himself the front runner in the MVP race. Two of those scoring strikes went to Isaiah Likely — his only grabs of the day. Zay Flowers caught a 75-yard touchdown pass to give him a solid fantasy day. Surprisingly, Justice Hill not only scored a touchdown, but surpassed 100 scrimmage yards. Those who started Gus Edwards certainly can't complain. The bruising runner added 66 yards and a touchdown in the blowout. Baltimore clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC, so for those who play in leagues that run through Week 18, be aware that it's possible the Ravens rest starters for some or all of next week's game against the Steelers.

Happy New Year to all. For those who were in fantasy championships, hopefully fate was on your side. To others who didn't have the best fantasy season, we'll expect that next year will bring better fortune. With many preparing for New Year's Eve, this article will be published earlier than usual, but the reactions on the late-afternoon games will be added earlyMonday. Let's look at Sunday's NFL action.

- The Ravens continued their destruction of the better teams in the NFL. Although Miami had an early 10-7 lead, Baltimore outscored the Dolphins 49-9 the rest of the way. Lamar Jackson had a signature performance. Jackson wasn't needed as a runner, but he passed for 321 yards and five touchdowns.

Baltimore clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC, so for those who play in leagues that run through Week 18, be aware that it's possible the Ravens rest starters for some or all of next week's game against the Steelers.
- After Miami had its first victory of the season against a good team last week, it crashed to earth this week. It wasn't a total loss for fantasy managers, though. De'Von Achane had the team's best fantasy performance with 137 scrimmage yards and a TD. Despite Tua Tagovailoa throwing a pair of INTs, he had a respectable afternoon with a pair of passing scores and 237 yards. Finally, Tyreek Hill had a floor game with six catches for 76 yards. Next week, the Dolphins play host to the Bills with the winner earning the division title.
- There's nothing easy about making a cross-country trip and playing at peak capacity. The Rams also had the dreaded East Coast game in which they had to play at a time that was early for their natural body clocks. That may have been a factor in barely beating the Giants. In addition to winning, their main producers played well for fantasy. It's possible the passing attack would have had a huge performance, but Kyren Williams ran in three of the Rams' four touchdowns. Williams also had 101 scrimmage yards. Otherwise, Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua had high-floor performances. For the fifth game in a row, Demarcus Robinson exceeded expectations. The veteran receiver led the team with 10 targets, catching six passes for 92 yards. Without knowing all the details of NFL tiebreakers, Los Angeles most likely needs to beat the 49ers to guarantee a playoff spot. However, there likely will be plenty of scenarios that get them into the playoff field even if they lose.
- It's been a rough season for the Giants. They already have 11 losses. Regardless, they have played competitive football throughout December. They were a two-point conversion away from possibly knocking off the Rams. I recommended Tyrod Taylor as a cheap DFS option this week. Although it wasn't always pretty, the veteran signal caller passed for 319 yards with a touchdown while also rushing for 40 yards. The only other skill-position players to have impressive performances were Darius Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson. Robinson scored a rushing touchdown on a trick play and recorded 79 scrimmage yards. Slayton scored while posting 106 receiving yards. New York travels to Philadelphia next week, and it would be surprising if they didn't give everything they had to deal their division rival a loss to end the regular season.
- After not playing great football in recent weeks, the Cardinals went into Philadelphia with a purpose. Although they trailed 21-6 going into halftime, they outscored the Eagles 29-10 in the last 30 minutes to pull off the upset. The victory has the potential to take Arizona out of the mix for a top-2 pick in the 2024 draft. The star of the game was James Conner. The veteran ball carrier recorded 133 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns. This was the fourth game in a row that Conner was an excellent fantasy option. Also, Kyler Murray fired three touchdown passes despite moderate yardage totals. Finally, after being the key to the passing attack in recent weeks, Trey McBride was not the leading receiver. Those honors went to Greg Dortch, who cut all seven targets for 82 yards. The Cardinals will finish this season next week at home against the Seahawks. don't be surprised if they come out with another strong offensive effort.
- I imagine the level of panic for the Eagles' postseason hopes is reaching a critical level. Many of their losses came to some of the league's better teams. That wasn't the case this week. Playing at home, they fell apart in the second half, blowing a 15-point lead and losing to the Cardinals. Although Jalen Hurts fired three touchdown passes, his yardage totals were ordinary. No other Philly player had more than 61 yards from scrimmage. It's unlikely that many fantasy players benefited from Julio Jones scoring touchdowns on both of his receptions, as the veteran is rostered in few fantasy leagues. Next week, Philadelphia travels to the Giants. Even though the Eagles need a strong performance to win the NFC East, it's far from a foregone conclusion that they will do well.
- In a game that Indianapolis needed to stay alive in the playoff race, it held on to overcome the Raiders. Indy was led by Jonathan Taylor, who posted 104 scrimmage yards and a rushing touchdown. Otherwise, Alec Pierce led the receivers by catching one pass for a 58-yard touchdown. Even the typically reliable Michael Pittman was held to a moderate stat line. The star receiver caught five passes for 46 yards. It's possible that the Colts put up some offensive fireworks next week in the regular-season finale at home against the Texans.
- The Raiders were coming off a big victory last week against the Chiefs and still had hopes of making the playoffs as they went to Indianapolis this week. Despite remaining competitive, they came up short. However, fantasy players who trusted Davante Adams and Zamir White were satisfied. It was Adams who had the monster game, catching 13 of 21 targets for 126 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Although White didn't have a huge performance, he tallied 106 scrimmage yards and five receptions. It's reasonable to expect that Las Vegas will continue to play at its highest level to end the season next week against the Broncos.
- Garbage time can be a beautiful part of the fantasy football experience. In their game against the Saints, the Buccaneers were mostly horrible on offense. Tampa Bay was shut out the first three quarters, but with the game out of hand, Baker Mayfield turned it loose in the passing game. Mayfield ended up throwing for more than 300 yards and two touchdowns. Surprisingly, the leading receiver was Trey Palmer, who recorded 84 yards and a touchdown. Not far behind was Chris Godwin with 81 yards and a score. Otherwise, both Mike Evans and Rachaad White had moderate floor performances. The Buccaneers likely will need to win next week at home against the Panthers to secure a playoff spot.
- New Orleans stayed alive in its quest to make the playoffs by winning at Tampa Bay. The only player with more than 60 scrimmage yards was Juwan Johnson. The tight end saw 12 targets, which was more than twice the total of any teammate. Johnson posted 90 yards and a touchdown. Those who chose to stream him had one of the top tight-end performances of the week. Next week, the Saints play host to the Falcons, and they'll need a win to have any chance of making the playoffs.
- The Bears have been a solid football team during the second half of the year. Justin Fields continues to make his case to be the team's long-term answer at quarterback. He passed for 268 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 45 yards and another score. With D'Onta Foreman inactive for the second week in a row, Khalil Herbert posted his second consecutive game with more than 100 rushing yards and a touchdown. If Chicago chooses to start Herbert next week against the Packers, he could end the season with another solid performance. Finally, DJ Moore had another signature performance. His 159 yards was one of his better yardage totals of the season, and he also scored another touchdown. I assume Moore will be drafted in the top 24 of most fantasy drafts next season.
- The Falcons are a terrible road team. It was no different in their trip to Chicago. Their leading receiver was Tyler Allgeier, who caught a screen pass for a 75-yard touchdown. Otherwise, Bijan Robinson recorded 86 scrimmage yards with three receptions. Nobody knows what will happen with this team in the offseason, but many fantasy managers will hope Atlanta fires coach Arthur Smith. On a team with three players who should be offensive superstars, this season felt like a waste of their talents.
- Fantasy managers who started the Buffalo defense were handsomely rewarded. The defense and special teams scored a touchdown while intercepting three passes. The Bills also added three sacks and a fumble recovery. In terms of fantasy, Dalton Kincaid was the only player, aside from Josh Allen, to post double-digit points. Unfortunately, Kincaid had been a non-factor the last few weeks and probably was on many fantasy football benches. Both Stefon Diggs, James Cook and Gabe Davis had fewer than seven PPR points. Next week, Buffalo will travel to Miami to play for the division title.
- Despite scoring 21 points against Buffalo, the New England offense did little for fantasy. The only non-quarterback to reach double-digit PPR points was Ezekiel Elliott. The veteran running back scored a touchdown to give him 11.5 PPR points. Don't be surprised to see New England struggle in its season finale at home against the Jets next week.
- Jacksonville took advantage of a home game against the worst team in the league. It shut out the Panthers 26-0. However, it was not a big day for most of the Jaguars' offensive players. The matchup couldn't have been much better for Travis Etienne. Even though he has struggled behind a terrible offensive line this year, his talent was more than enough to overcome the Carolina defense. The young running back turned 18 touches into 118 yards and two touchdowns. Hopefully, fantasy managers didn't make the mistake of benching him. In Week 18, the Jaguars will have a must-win game to make the playoffs. That said, playing at Tennessee might not be the easiest matchup. Hopefully, Jacksonville will get Trevor Lawrence back from injury. His return would potentially raise the scoring floor of the team's receiving options.
- It was disappointing for fantasy players to see the Texans' win big, but post little offensive production. Nico Collins had the best day of all Houston players. The third-year receiver caught seven passes for 80 yards. Also, Devin Singletary provided his investors with a solid floor game. The running back totaled 86 scrimmage yards and three receptions. Those who started Dalton Schultz and Noah Brown received little production in return. It should be noted that Brown left the game early due to injury.
- The season cannot end quickly enough for Tennessee. Its only player to post double-digit fantasy points was DeAndre Hopkins. The Titans' top receiving weapon caught all seven targets for 72 yards. Fantasy managers who started any other player on this team were likely disappointed. Also, it certainly didn't help that Will Levis was knocked out early in the game with an injury.
- To the surprise of nobody, the Commanders scored 10 points at home against the 49ers. Fantasy managers who started Terry McLaurin were treated to a 61-yard, one-touchdown performance. In addition, Brian Robinson had a respectable game and PPR leagues, as he totaled 76 scrimmage yards and four catches. Otherwise, there was little production by the offense. The Commanders will play out the string next week at home against the Cowboys.
- The big news for the 49ers was that Christian McCaffrey was unable to finish the game with a calf injury. It's unclear as to whether he could have returned. Despite scoring 27 points, the only regular contributor on this offense to perform well was Brandon Aiyuk. The receiver posted 114 yards and a touchdown. The next best offensive option was likely one who wasn't in many lineups. Elijah Mitchell stepped in for McCaffrey, rushing 17 times for 80 yards and a touchdown. The 49ers will finish out the regular season next week at home against the Rams. It's possible the 49ers rest some players in that game, as they have secured the top seed in the NFC for the playoffs.
Injuries
The following players injured and did not return:
- Christian McCaffrey injured his calf. it's unclear as to whether he could have returned because the game was out of hand. Elijah Mitchell took over as the lead back.
- Alvin Kamara suffered an ankle injury.
- DeVonta Smith was in a walking boot after the Eagles' game.
- Noah Brown sustained a hip injury.
- DeVante Parker hurt his ribs.
- Juwan Johnson injured his shoulder.
- Will Levis suffered a foot injury. Ryan Tannehill finished the game.

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

This article is part of our NFL Waiver Wire series.
This article will come out every Sunday night. It's not expected to be a deep dive. Instead, we'll explore players who had atypical workload and/or opportunity during the Sunday games. We won't be paying attention to whether these players will be available in most leagues. The hope is that you become aware of the short-term usage change. If you're looking for detailed waiver-wire coverage, we'll have two weekly articles to set you up. On Tuesday, Kevin Payne will publish the weekly pickups. Then on Wednesday, Dan Marcus will provide you with deep dives.
Quarterback
- Tyrod Taylor played well for the Giants in his matchup against the Rams. He could be in line for another solid performance if he gets the Week 18 start against the Eagles.
- Ryan Tannehill could be pressed into action for the Titans next week if Will Levis is unable to suit up.
- Tyler Huntley could see extended time in Week 18 if Lamar Jackson sits out after the Ravens clinched home-field advantage in the playoffs.
Running Back
- Elijah Mitchell had 17 carries in a game Christian McCaffrey left with a calf injury. With San Francisco having wrapped up home-field advantage, Mitchell could start against the Rams.
- Jordan Mason could be in line for significant work, or possibly see work in a timeshare, with Elijah Mitchell, if Christian McCaffrey (calf) is unable to play in a meaningless Week 18 game for the 49ers.
- Jamaal Williams received 22 touches in a game that Alvin Kamara left with

- Jamaal Williams received 22 touches in a game that Alvin Kamara left with an ankle injury. If Kamara misses next week, Williams could get the start against the Falcons.
- Melvin Gordon could be in line for a role in Week 18 after the Ravens clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Gordon rushed six times for 10 yards and a TD against the Dolphins.
Wide Receiver
- Greg Dortch led the Cardinals WRs with seven catches for 82 yards against the Eagles. He could see a prominent role in the season finale.
Tight End
- Juwan Johnson has scored in three consecutive games and has 19 targets in the last two games. He may be a strong streaming option in Week 18.
- Robert Tonyan posted 40 yards for the Bears while Cole Kmet was active, but dealing with a knee injury. If Tonyan is needed to continue in a receiving role, he may be a TE streamer option.

A school band, formed by a high school’s Head of Creativity is now looking to hold a gig.
The as yet unnamed band from Whitworth Community High School comprises Head of English Peter Williams, his son also Peter, a student in Year 11 and fellow Year 11 student Sam Biggs. Peter, 16, said: “At last year’s school Christmas concert, Head of Creativity Miss Goff suggested that Sam Biggs join my dad and I on stage as he was a really good singer.
“We performed two numbers and they went down well so this year we performed three – Live Forever by Oasis, View from the Afternoon by the Arctic Monkeys and Run, Run Rudolph.”
Mr Williams plays bass guitar, Sam is on lead guitar and sings while Peter plays the drums. Peter said: “It was proper good.

"You could tell that everyone was shocked as I started to play a drum solo and then the lead guitar came in and then the bass and then into the singing.
“'Run, Run Rudolph' was a song for everyone and half-way through Sam stopped playing, I thought something was wrong, then he started clapping and the whole audience was clapping along with him.
“We had only had two practices and one sound check.”
Peter, who has a drum kit at home, said his dad was now looking into organising a gig for friends and family.
Also performing in this year’s Christmas Concert was the school band, where Liam Jones, 14, played cornet.
Liam said: “I was sitting right at the front in the band so I got to see everything.
“I really enjoyed when we played Jingle Bell Boogie because there was a great reaction from the audience.”
James Power, 12, enjoyed performing in a drama which also formed a part of the concert programme.
He said: “There was a family who were in a car getting everything ready for Christmas and I was playing a nerdy geeky kid and when I was asked what I wanted for Christmas I said I wanted a new Oxford English Dictionary and everybody laughed, including the headteacher.
“The whole concert was a showcase of different school talents.”

A surfer in Hawaii died at the hospital after a shark attack Saturday.
According toMaui County authorities, they received a report at around 11 a.m. local time Saturday about “a miscellaneous type incident.” Upon arrival, they discovered that Ocean Safety Officers had rescued and transported Jason Carter, a 39-year-old man, to shore using a jet ski.
Responders conducted life-saving measures until medical personnel arrived, and Carter was then taken to the Maui Memorial Medical Center for further treatment.
According to the Department of Land and Natural Resources, Carter, who is originally from Haiku, faced the shark encounter while surfing at Paia Bay, where shark warning signs are placed on beaches one mile on either side of the bay.
While initial signs of foul play were not evident, the police department reports that the investigation is ongoing and an autopsy has been scheduled.

Honda confirms plan to leave Britain with loss of 3,500 jobs
The Japanese automaker on Tuesday confirmed it will close its car plant in Swindon, England in 2021, with the loss of about 3,500 jobs.
The company builds 150,000 Honda Civics a year in Swindon, its only car factory in the EU.
Honda said the move was due to global forces that are re-shaping the car industry and the need to launch electric vehicles, but said it had nothing to do with Brexit.
Britain said on Tuesday it was deeply disappointed by Honda's decision to close its only British car plant.
"The UK is one of the leaders in the development of these technologies and so it is deeply disappointing that this decision has been taken now," Business Secretary Greg Clark said.
"This is a devastating decision for Swindon and the UK," Clark said. "This is a commercial decision based on unprecedented changes in the global market."
"The news is a particularly bitter blow to the thousands of skilled and dedicated staff who work at the factory, their families and all of those employed in the supply chain," Clark said, adding that he would convene a "task force" to keep the employees in work.
A fall in demand for diesel cars and tougher emissions regulations have shaken up the car industry.
Ian Howells, senior vice-president for Honda in Europe, told the BBC: "We're seeing unprecedented change in the industry on a global scale. We have to move very swiftly to electrification of our vehicles because of demand of our customers and legislation.
"We've always seen Brexit as something we'll get through, but these changes globally are something we will have to respond to. We deeply regret the impact it will have on the Swindon community."
It comes after a series of car manufacturers including Nissan and Jaguar Land Rover have announced plans to either cut UK jobs or shift production to other countries.
Car manufacturers are dealing with Brexit, the shift to electric cars, plummeting demand for diesel vehicles and a slowdown in key markets such as China.
Like Nissan, Honda stands to benefit from a new trade deal between the EU and Japan, which lowers tariffs on both parties' car exports to zero.

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration on Sunday said that Reckitt/Mead Johnson is voluntarily recalling batches of powdered infant formula over bacterial contamination concerns.
According to a news release, the FDA said that Reckitt/Mead Johnson’s Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Powdered Infant Formula Products were being recalled. The specialty formula is a hypoallergenic infant product used by infants who are allergic to cow’s milk.
The formula came in 12.6-ounce and 19.8-ounce cans and was recalled over the possibility that the product had been contaminated by Cronobacter sakazakii, the FDA said.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Cronobacter sakazakii is a germ found naturally that can live in dry foods including powdered infant formula.
“Getting sick from Cronobacter does not happen often, but infections in infants can be deadly,” the CDC said. “Cronobacter infections in infants less than 12 months old are often linked to powdered infant formula.”
The FDA said that 675,030 cans of the formula were recalled on Friday after the agency was notified that the formula sent overseas tested positive for Cronobacter sakazakii by the Israeli Ministry of Health, CNN reported.
The FDA said that no illnesses have been reported so far and that most of the formula distributed in the U.S. has likely been consumed. Nutramigen in 12.6-ounce and 19.8-ounce containers was manufactured in June 2023 and distributed primarily in June, July, and August 2023, the agency said.
“All product in question went through extensive testing and tested negative for the bacteria,” Reckitt/Mead Johnson said in a news release.
The batch codes for the products are:
• ZL3FHG (12.6-ounce cans);
• ZL3FMH (12.6-ounce cans);
• ZL3FPE (12.6-ounce cans);
• ZL3FQD (12.6-ounce cans);
• ZL3FRW (19.8-ounce cans);
• ZL3FXJ (12.6-ounce cans).
The products have a UPC of 300871239418 or 300871239456 and “use by date” of “1 Jan. 2025,” the FDA said.
According to the agency, consumers with Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Infant Formula Powder bearing those batch numbers should not use them and dispose of them immediately.
Consumers with questions can call the company at 866-534-9986 at any time, or by email at consumer.relations@rb.com.
“We are committed to the highest level of quality and safety and it is for this reason that we have taken this measure,” Reckitt/Mead Johnson said in a statement. “Other testing of the batches in question tested negative for Cronobacter and other bacteria.”

Huawei launches foldable 5G smartphone Mate X
The Mate X has a 6.6-inch screen, which can be opened out into an eight-inch OLED screen to allow the user to read or view videos, Xinhua reports.
"The Huawei Mate X is a step into unknown territory," confirmed Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei's Consumer Business Group.
He said the phone was a "masterwork of engineering" and that it folded in an "almost perfect" manner, while its 5G capacity would help "change the world that we currently know".
The Mate X has a Balong 5000 processor, 8 GB of RAM and 512 GB internal memory, which Yu commented would make it the "reference point for the 5G smartphones still to come".
Other points in favor of Huawei's new smartphone are its lightness and the fact that even when folded it is only 11 millimeters thick.
Meanwhile Yu highlighted that the Mate X's two batteries give it 4,500 milliamps per hour (mAh) which is "well above that of its competitors", and these batteries can be recharged in just over half an hour.
It will retail for 2,299 euros (2,607 U.S. dollars) and is expected to be available to the public "by the summer".
Huawei presented several other products at the same event, including a new range of laptops: such as the MateBook X Pro, which has a 13.9, 3K screen, as well as MateBooks with 13 and 14 inch screens.
Finally, Huawei showcased its 5G CPE Pro mobile router, which is aimed at taking 5G connectivity into the home allowing for the transmission of 8K video in real time.

BOSTON (WHDH) - Two men have been arrested on murder warrants in connection with the fatal shooting of a 41-year-old man in Boston on Saturday, police said.
Tyrese Robinson 19, of Randolph, and Dashan Crowder, 21, of Quincy, were arrested Sunday afternoon in the area of 380 Talbot Ave. on murder warrants issued out of Dorchester District Court for the murder of Curtis Effee, of Boston.
Officers responding to a reported shooting in the area of 417 Geneva Ave. Saturday found Effee suffering from gunshot wounds and pronounced him dead at the scene, according to police.
Robinson and Crowder are expected to be arraigned in Dorchester District Court.

DETROIT (AP) — Trent Frederic scored twice, Charlie Coyle had the go-ahead goal and the Boston Bruins beat the Detroit Red Wings 5-3 on Sunday.
Boston forward Pavel Zacha scored an empty-net goal in his 500th regular-season game.
Jake DeBrusk also added an empty-netter and Charlie McAvoy had two assists for the Bruins, who have won three straight. Jeremy Swayman made 25 saves.
Jake Walman scored his third goal in two games for Detroit. Ben Chiarot and J.T. Compher had the Red Wings’ other goals, and Alex Lyon stopped 23 shots.
The Atlantic Division opponents split their four-game season series.
Frederic scored his first goal of the game with 51.8 seconds left in the first period. David Pastrnak flicked the puck out of his own zone as Frederic got behind Detroit’s defenders. Frederic backhanded the puck over Lyon’s left shoulder.
Frederic crashed into Lyon, who was checked out by the team’s trainer but remained in the game.
Frederic’s second goal and ninth of the season came at 4:25 of the second. He skated in along the right boards and wristed a shot that whistled through Lyon’s pads.
Walman notched his ninth goal this season at 13:01. He lifted a shot from the left circle over Swayman’s shoulder.
Chiarot scored his third goal later in the period from the slot to tie it at 2. Boston’s challenge of goalie interference was denied.
Boston regained the lead at 3:52 of the third. McAvoy passed the puck to Coyle, who scored his 13th goal from the slot.
DeBrusk’s empty-netter came with 2:01 remaining. Following a Boston penalty, Compher scored on a rebound with 1:22 left.
Zacha’s empty-netter with 24 seconds to go clinched the Bruins’ victory.

A video clip of the actor giving his emotional goodbye speech at the end of Season 15’s finale episode has gone viral on the internet. In the video, Big B said ‘Devi aur sajjano, ab hum jaa rahe aur kal se yeh manch ab nahi sajega. Apno se yeh keh pana ki kal se hum yahan nahi aa payenge, na kehne ki himmat hoti aur na kehne ka mann hota hai. Main Amitabh Bachchan iss daur ke liye, iss manch se akhri baar kehne jaa raha hu, shubraatri.’ Amitabh was also seen getting teary eyed as he ended his speech with folded hands. While several fans reacted to the video with heartfelt comments, some of them questioned if it ‘KBC’ is over. A user commented, ‘Matlab ab kabhi KBC nahi aayega?’, whereas another one wrote ‘What is this? Ab se KBC khatam?’ One of the fans commented, ‘Amit Sir is example of sheer dedication and passion at such an age.’ Meanwhile on the work front, Amitabh Bachchan has films like ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, ‘The Intern’ and ‘Vettaiyan’ in his kitty.

As the final pages of the calendar turn, we find ourselves at the threshold of a new chapter, adorned with the echoes of moments lived and dreams pursued. Reminiscing the year gone by, musician Manan Bhardwaj in an exclusive conversation with ETimes, opened up about the moment that was the biggest highlight of 2023. “Meeting with Ranbir Kapoor,” were the first words that Manan Bhardwaj spoke when he started to sum up 2023. Recalling the incident, he added, "We were traveling via the same flight (Me, Ranbir Kapoor, and Bobby Deol). So I went up to him, and said, “Sir!” He didn't recognize me, but greeted me with a ‘hey.’ I told him sir ‘Arjan Vailly.’” This is when Ranbir Kapoor realized that Manan was the one who gave music to the song. After that, it was a fun flight for everyone.

Lynchburg, VA – The Tennessee Lady Vols basketball team wrapped up their non-conference slate with a commanding win over Liberty on Sunday, rolling to a 90-55 victory in Liberty Arena.
Fifth-year senior Rickea Jackson led UT (7-5) with 21 points and seven rebounds, while senior Tess Darby had a strong showing, turning in a career-best 18 points on 6-of-9 shooting from behind the arc. Junior Kaiya Wynn tied her career high of 12 points and added a career-best seven assists with no turnovers. Junior Karoline Striplin was also in double figures with 10.
Emma Hess was the top scorer for LU (5-10) with 12 points, and Asia Boone was close behind with 11.
Striplin put the Lady Vols on the board just over a minute into the game, sinking an eight-foot jumper off an inbounds pass after Jackson stole the ball and was fouled on the fast break. By the 7:30 mark, Tennessee had racked up four steals and extended its lead to 8-0. Boone was first to score for the Lady Flames, draining a three with just over seven minutes left in the quarter.
UT responded with five unanswered points before Jordan Hodges scored her first points of the game to set the score at 13-5 by the media timeout. Liberty narrowed the gap to six before Jackson drained a long-range two, and Tess Darby followed it up with a trey. The Lady Vols outscored Liberty 12-2 over the final four minutes to give UT a 25-9 lead after one.
Tennessee maintained its 16-point advantage through the first four minutes of the second frame, but a three-pointer by Ella Wigal and a free throw by Brooke Moore pulled LU within 12 with 5:24 left in the half. Darby responded with a pair of threes less than a minute apart to send the Big Orange up 37-20 by the 4:12 mark. The teams traded buckets into the final minute when Wynn scored on back-to-back plays, sending the game into halftime with UT on top, 43-24.
Hess and Jewel Spear opened up the second half with five quick points for their respective teams before Jackson swished a three to put Tennessee up by 22 with 8:12 to go in the third. That margin would hold through the 3:44 mark when Darby drained her fifth three of the game, and Jillian Hollingshead followed it up with a layup to spark a 14-2 Lady Vol run that forced an LU timeout with 1:00 to go in the period.
An old-fashioned three-point play by Sara Puckett opened the fourth for the Lady Vols, and five straight points by Edie Darby put Tennessee on top by 39 with 6:14 to play. That would prove to be UT’s largest lead of the day, as the Lady Flames outscored UT 8-4 over the closing minutes for a final score of 90-55.
Career Day For Tess
Tess Darby fired in a career-high six three-pointers on nine attempts and finished with a career-best 18 points vs. Liberty. That tied the Liberty Arena record for treys with the Flames’ Emily Lytle, who had that same amount vs. Stetson on February 28th, 2021.
Darby Movies Up Career Three-Pointer List
With her six long balls vs. Liberty, Tess Darby moved into eighth on the UT Lady Vols’ career three-pointer list with 148. She surpassed Taber Spani (143) and Shannon Bobbitt (147) on Sunday afternoon and stands 13 behind seventh-place Brittany Jackson (161, 2001-05).
Another Game With 10 Three-Pointers
For the second consecutive game and the third time this season, Tennessee hit 10 or more three-pointers, finishing with a season-best 12 vs. Liberty. The last time the Lady Vols fired in 10+ in back-to-back contests was at the start of the 2016-17 season, when they made 10 at JMU on November 11th and knocked down 12 vs. Navy on November 13th.
Biggest Crowd For LU Women’s Hoops
With a significant contingent of orange-clad fans helping the cause on Sunday, Liberty women’s basketball was able to draw its biggest crowd of the season to Liberty Arena. A total of 2,105 were on hand to surpass the previous best of 1,631 for a contest vs. Florida Gulf Coast on February 24th, 2022.
Surpassing 50 Rebounds Once Again
For the second straight game and the fourth time this season, the UT Lady Vols pulled down 50+ rebounds. Their 52 ranked as the third-most in a game in 2023-24. During the Harper era, UT has recorded 50 rebounds in a contest on 44 occasions in 139 total games.
