Inari Medical Announces Joint Venture in Greater ChinaDaily Post Nigeria Transfer: Adams reacts to AC Milan move rumour Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport Sport Transfer: Adams reacts to AC Milan move rumour Published on December 2, 2024 By Mike Oyebola Montpellier forward Jerome Adams has said he was not distracted by rumours linking him with a move to Serie A giants AC Milan. Adams enjoyed an impressive debut campaign in the French top flight last season. The Nigerian scored eight goals in 32 league appearances for Montpellier. AC Milan reportedly sent scouts to watch him in France. The 24-year-old said he didn’t allow the transfer speculation to get in his head. “I didn’t pay so much attention to it because I was just coming into the French Ligue and it could go either way, be it good or bad, but I was very positive and focused on training, learning and just doing my job, which is scoring for the team,” he told TribalFootball. “But of course when you get a team like AC Milan watching you, for me, I see it as an incentive, not a pressure; it is to know my football is being developed in the right direction.” Related Topics: ac milan Adams Don't Miss FA Cup third round draw: Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea discover opponents [Full fixtures] You may like Montpellier star, Adams eager for Super Eagles chance Ligue 1: Adams out for ‘few weeks’ with injury AC Milan’s Alvaro Morata rushed to hospital UCL: Real Madrid’s squad to face AC Milan out [Full list] Serie A: Chukwueze thanks AC Milan manager for resurgence in form Serie A: Napoli go seven points clear after win at AC Milan Advertise About Us Contact Us Privacy-Policy Terms Copyright © Daily Post Media LtdHezbollah responds to strikes after ceasefire

GLASTONBURY fans are crossing their fingers that a massive rock band will play a secret set at the mega music festival. Supporters of the English rock band Muse are convinced they will take to the stage when the festival returns in June next year.

Last year, US rock band the Foo Fighters made a surprise appearance as the Friday night headline act.

There is no definitive stage version of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol , just as there is no one definitive film version. And though ACT had a faithful and well loved version of its own that it staged for over 40 years, the company decided it was time for a change. Artistic Director Pam MacKinnon brought in friend and collaborator Craig Lucas, the playwright behind the Tony-nominated Prelude to a Kiss and the book for the Amelie musical, to take a new look at the Dickens text, and that resulted in A Whynot Christmas Carol , which opened Sunday night, with MacKinnon directing. The play sets us up with a hefty dose of Dickens's words — from the original 1843 novella, whose full title was A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas — with longtime ACT company member Dan Hiatt in the role of Phil, the community theater actor in the town of Whynot who is playing Ebenezer Scrooge. We are also introduced to Phil's wife Aubrei (Stacy Ross), who is directing the town's "new version" of A Christmas Carol ; along with stage manager Lark (Gianna Digregorio Rivera) and her child Zayd (Piera Tamer), who seems to identify as nonbinary and gets cast as Tiny Tim. And there is Catherine Castellanos, a performer who's been introduced to the group as a dancer, who, comically, makes a whistling sound every time she says the letter 'S' — a joke that does and doesn't always work, but there is plenty of comedy in Aubrei's efforts to tweak the script to take all the S's out of Fran's lines, including changing her role from The Ghost of Christmas Past, to The Revenant of Yuletide Gone. Lucas's script is light on exposition and character development, and we are meant, I think, to conflate each character with their role in the play-within-the-play, though this can get confusing. The dynamics of Aubrei and Phil's relationship seem to be important, though they're never made very clear. And at one point, Aubrei scolds both Phil and the actor Holts playing Cratchit (Patrick Kelly Jones) for their "miserly" behavior, Phil for complaining about too many script alterations and Holts for not being much of a team player — he's asked to step in for a small role and refuses. There is also another nonbinary cast member, Swan (Sara Toby Moore) who notes early on that they aren't comfortable wearing padding to play female roles in the drama, and this is never further explored. This seems to be Lucas's effort to modernize the theater world in which such a production would take place today, but maybe deserves a bit more weight. Similarly, there is a glancing reference to Scrooge being coded as Jewish in Dickens's text — something that literary historians mostly seem to disagree with, and there are several non-Jewish miser types in Dickens's novels who could be seen as precursors. And this gets extra weight, to no clear end, when Scrooge's nephew-in-law appears in a late scene of A Whynot Christmas Carol wearing a yarmulke. We are taken headlong into the production, from tech rehearsal to opening night, with Act 2 of the play seeming as though it's going to give us a backstage perspective on what's happening onstage, as Scrooge travels around with the Ghost of Christmas Present (the hilarious, maniacal Jenny Nguyen Nelson who seems to have been directed to add a touch of Carol Kane's evil fairy version from Scrooged to her portrayal). But very quickly, with some deft direction by MacKinnon, the cast rotates back around to presenting a front-on version of the show, calling into question what purpose the backstage view was meant to serve. An elaborate, smoke-spewing, skeletal puppet that portrays The Ghost of Christmas Future is indeed scary, and requires three people to operate, and there are some evocative moments as Scrooge is confronted with his death. A few terrific stage illusions arrive in this section as well, thanks to illusionist Skylar Fox ( Harry Potter and the Cursed Child ). But with so many tonal shifts and breaks in the narrative — including several literal dance breaks for the fictional cast, with original music by The Kilbanes and Alphabet Rockers — it's a bit hard for the audience to know where to land in Scrooge's wild ride. Things seemed to go a little off the rails at Sunday's performance when the fourth wall dropped at the end of this second act, after an unexpected rendition of "Deck the Halls" by the ACT Young Conservatory, in an odd, extra-meta moment. Hiatt's character turns to the actual audience and asks, as Scrooge, "Can we not in this moment find some reason for hope?" to which someone in the audience, after an awkward silence, just said, "Nope." It was meant to be a prompt for us to say "Why not?", though this is only loosely set up earlier in the play and didn't come naturally. It certainly called to question whether, in a political moment such as we're in in a place like San Francisco, you should expect anyone to respond any differently to that question, as we build up to Dickens's now too familiar refrain, "God bless us, every one!" The play feels exciting, intriguing and fresh at many moments, and it feels multiple times like it's getting close to significant insights and revelations about this Christmas parable. But each time it seems to stop short, or move on too quickly. Lucas suggests in his program notes that he didn't want to present any simple tale of good and bad, generous and miserly, suggesting "we all hold... these delusional flaws of Scrooge" and "We see ourselves in him." Dickens's story, and such dramatizations of it, ask us to look at our own blessings and flaws, and to imagine ourselves as more generous, even if we worry about money sometimes, or look down on others, and face our own scarcities. But we all contain the capacity to do better. And, why not? 'A Whynot Christmas Carol' plays through December 24. Find tickets here .

ByteDance, the Chinese conglomerate that owns TikTok, approached an appeals court Monday to temporarily halt a ruling that mandates the company either sell TikTok or face a ban in the United States by Jan. 19. ByteDance sought an injunction from the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., seeking to preserve the app’s operational status while awaiting a potential review from the U.S. Supreme Court, according to CNN. The legal team representing ByteDance said that the chances of the Supreme Court reversing the decision are strong enough to justify a temporary reprieve and this pause would provide time for further legal arguments and considerations. In contrast, the U.S. Justice Department urged the appeals court to quickly reject TikTok’s plea to allow the Supreme Court ample time to review the matter, CNN reported. TikTok requested that the appeals court make a decision by Dec. 16. The appeal follows a federal court decision on Friday mandating that ByteDance either divest its U.S. operations or face a ban. The unanimous decision by the three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit dismissed First Amendment concerns and categorized TikTok as a national security threat due to potential manipulation by the Chinese government. . @cathymcmorris : “Your platform [TikTok] should be banned. I expect today, you’ll say anything to avoid this outcome.” pic.twitter.com/uWc7Z1YS4z — Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) March 23, 2023 TikTok, used by more than 170 million Americans each month, faces imminent disruption of its services both domestically and internationally if the court’s ruling goes into effect, CNN reported. The platform warned that hundreds of American service providers essential for the app’s maintenance and updates would be unable to continue their support from Jan. 19 onwards. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Democrat Senator’s Campaign Manager Touts TikTok Strategy After Her Boss Voted To Ban It) The company, which faces accusations of surveilling Americans’ political preferences and illegally harvesting children’s data , has legally contested the divest-or-ban law, while Chinese embassy officials have actively opposed the legislation in Washington. TikTok has repeatedly refuted allegations of connections with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), though a former senior ByteDance employee claimed CCP members in the company can access American user data through “superuser” capabilities and “backdoor channels.” A study by Network Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University suggests the app promotes CCP-favorable content. The fate of TikTok hinges on multiple high-level decisions as it initially depended on whether President Joe Biden will extend the Jan. 19 deadline by 90 days, which then passes the matter to President-elect Donald Trump, who resumes office on Jan. 20, CNN said. During his presidential campaign, Trump promised to block the ban, according to The Associated Press. Trump, who previously attempted to prohibit the social media platform during his earlier tenure in the White House, consistently vowed to block any ban on the short-form video app. All content created by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an independent and nonpartisan newswire service, is available without charge to any legitimate news publisher that can provide a large audience.

(NASDAQ: ASPI) and certain of its most senior executives are now entangled in a securities class action, alleging the company deceived investors by making false and misleading statements about its advanced nuclear fuel technologies. Hagens Berman urges investors in ASP Isotopes who suffered substantial losses to submit your losses now . Class Period: Oct. 30, 2024 – Nov. 26, 2024 Lead Plaintiff Deadline: Feb. 3, 2025 Visit: www.hbsslaw.com/investor-fraud/aspi Contact the Firm Now: ASPI@hbsslaw.com 844-916-0895 ASP Isotopes Inc. (ASPI) Securities Class Action: The suit, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, claims that ASPI misled investors about the viability and potential of its Aerodynamic Separation Process (ASP) and Quantum Enrichment technologies. The complaint alleges that ASPI overstated the effectiveness of its enrichment technologies, the development potential of its high assay low-enriched uranium facility, and the performance of its nuclear fuels operating segment. The truth emerged on Nov. 26, 2024, when a scathing report by Fuzzy Panda Research revealed that ASPI's technology was outdated and unlikely to be commercially viable. The report accused ASPI of using "old, disregarded laser enrichment technology" to falsely position itself as a cutting-edge nuclear fuel company. It also alleged that ASPI had employed individuals to promote its stock and that former executives of Centrus Energy had deemed its technology "virtually worthless.". Following the release of the report, ASPI's stock price plummeted 23% in a single trading day. These events have prompted shareholder rights firm Hagens Berman to open a probe. “We are investigating whether ASPI may have misled investors about the true commercial prospects for its ASP and Quantum Enrichment technologies," said Reed Kathrein, a partner leading the investigation.

Smart Phone, Mobile Phone, Telephone, Service, Repairing From Gemini: “De-Googling is the practice of intentionally reducing or eliminating the use of Google products and services in your life. This movement is driven by concerns about privacy, data collection, and the dominance of a single company in the tech industry.” De-Googling is more than a hobby for a lot of people worried about privacy, security, surveillance, freedom from advertising and even how dependent they are upon one or two vendors – especially for search and browsers. On the other hand, de-Googling can at times be painful, such as maintaining multiple accounts to access some services which may be difficult to replace, since Google is such a dominant technology platform. It’s the same for those who want to de-Apple their devices: freedom after some pain. The most important reason why de-Googling (and de-Appling) is more than a hobby is because of what Shoshana Zuboff calls “surveillance capitalism.” Everyone should know that Google collects lots of information from its “users” and then monetizes the information through advertising. What kind of information? Your purchases, location, search history, usage data, contact information – you name it. This information is then algorithmically leveraged to generate revenue for Google. But how bad is it really? Gemini tells is that in 2022, there were approximately 5.4 billion malware attacks, that ransomware attacks increased by 68% year-over-year in 2023, that phishing attacks are one of the most common cyber threats with millions of people falling victim each year, and data breaches are increasing with millions of records being compromised every year. De-Googling reduces the number and severity of these problems. Those who want to free themselves from Google and reduce cybersecurity problems can take several steps. The most obvious is to switch search engines. Another is to switch browsers. Yet another is to remove data from Google Drive with increasingly sophisticated encryption tools and services. You might stop using Google Calendar. Or you might just de-Google with a new OS. FBI Warns iPhone And Android Users—Stop Sending Texts Microsoft’s New Update—Bad News Confirmed For 400 Million Windows Users FBI Warns Smartphone Users—Hang Up And Create A Secret Word Now BlackDuck’s Mobile Operating Ecosystem Jamie Duffy, BlackDuck Founder Ironically, Google’s Gemini tells us why we should replace Google’s OS with open-source mobile operating systems: “There are several compelling reasons to consider replacing your Google OS with an open-source mobile operating system: enhanced privacy, reduced data collection, transparent code, greater security, community-driven security, regular updates, customization and control, flexibility, root access, ethical considerations, fairness and transparency, support for ethical values, future-proofing longevity and adaptability.” But with who? One of the contenders is BlackDuck which is a mobile operating system with a high level of cryptography to protect user security and anonymity. Like other de-Google rebels, BlackDuck’s mobile operating system and devices are designed to optimize security. BlackDuck is relatively unique in a growing – which means validated – space: “The BlackDuck innovative business model ... combines different synergic business segments including an Open-Source Operating System, an App Store, a VPN Server Market, Anonymous eSIM market, Secure Crypto Wallet, Referral Program, and all leveraged by its tokenomics model.” In fact, BlackDuck’s go-to-market process blends some common features of the de-Googlers along with some unique ones like the company’s referral system where users are incentivized to work together to develop the platform “to protect the DNA of the users.” By referring the platform, “users earn on purchased digital goods.” The company also offers an anonymous secure crypto wallet which can be used to participate on the virtual products market where clients can send and receive cryptocurrency. Users can even “buy a permanent mobile phone number for daily use and registration on any services, minimizing the leakage of personal data!” The company also enables the anonymous acquisition of a VPN key that integrates into the operating system. So what have we got? An open-source OS, a decentralized app store, a VPN server market, an anonymous eSIM market, a secure crypto wallet and a referral program – all leveraged by a tokenomics model “aimed at speeding up the business and creating a never-ending motivating circular economy that rewards active users and stackers.”Let’s also not forget that BlackDuck can also set Apple iOS users free who want to prioritize privacy and security and are willing to go the extra technical mile to protect themselves from big tech’s chokehold on the OS market. To De-Google or Not to De-Google Individuals and companies must decide if they really want to de-Google. But if they do, there are steps that can be taken to accomplish that goal, including installing BlackDuck or some other open-source mobile operating systems designed to set you free. Make no mistake, however, this is a commitment, a process and an outcome – there’s no Play Store, no Pixel-specific capabilities and no Play Services. De-Googling is also a kind of “political” statement against big tech. Obviously, the primary motivation is privacy and security. But de-Googling sends a message to Google, Apple and their big tech colleagues that there are limits to control. It also sends a complaint to the security and privacy industries about how porous mobile architectures have become. De-Googling is also a market test. How often does it happen, or is it like all of the Americans who threaten to leave the country but never do? All of that said, if you make the decision to de-Google, you should look at BlackDuck .Washington state approves regulatory reform plan for legal providers

YouTuber Park Mak-rye, center, is seen in this promotional photo for her beauty brand Reii Reii. Couresty of W Concept Park Mak-rye joins other influencers, celebrities launching cosmetics brand By Park Jin-hai Park Mak-rye, 77, also known as @korea_grandma, a popular YouTuber with 1.16 million subscribers, is launching a beauty brand under her own name. She is one of the latest in the growing number of celebrities, YouTubers and influencers venturing into the cosmetics industry, leveraging their influence to launch their own beauty brands. Created in collaboration with global cosmetics giant Cosmax, Reii Reii is a skin care brand inspired by the beauty wisdom of Park and designed specifically for younger generations. The brand features traditional Korean ingredients such as rice water and acorn powder, which Park has shared as her personal skin care secrets on social media. According to W Concept, a fashion platform, Reii Reii will be sold exclusively through its site. In a promotional video, Park said, "Do you know how young and beautiful you are right now? The first gift I want to give you is 'loving yourself.'" She continued, "When I was young, I thought I was so ugly, and then I turned 70. I regret not loving myself enough. The first priority is yourself. You should also practice patting yourself on the back. Mak-rye, good job." Reii Reii consists of products including Gold Rice Energy Care Essence, Gold Rice Energy Cream and Acorn Jelly Cool Down Patch. Regarding the cosmetics, she said, "I used to make face masks with rice water and acorns, and my fans seemed to enjoy it," and revealed that she developed the cosmetics with the world-renowned Cosmax and even conducted sample tests herself. "We decided to sell the brand exclusively because the values that Park Mak-rye wants to convey through her beauty brand match the demands of our core 20-30-year-old customers," said an official of W Concept. K-pop singer Jeon So-mi's makeup brand GLYF / captured from GLYF's Instagram Many celebrities, YouTubers and influencers have been making inroads into the cosmetics industry. Cho Min, the influencer daughter of former Justice Minister Cho Kuk, recently announced the launch of her skin care brand Cerolabs. Aiming to be a clean beauty brand, all products are cruelty-free and the company plans to minimize its environmental impact through eco-friendly packaging. Kolmar Korea, one of the largest original design manufacturer (ODM) companies in Korea, is in charge of manufacturing. The price range is around 20,000 won ($14.24). Singer Hong Jin-young also has transformed into a cosmetics company CEO. IMPOTEN, the cosmetics company she leads, is preparing for a Kosdaq listing, after signing an IPO underwriting contract with Korea Investment & Securities in May, aiming for going public in 2026. K-pop singer Jeon So-mi also launched her makeup brand GLYF in April. The 23-year-old star is known to have been deeply involved in every aspect of launching her brand, from product development to website design. The industry attributes the surge in celebrity-backed cosmetics brands to the rising popularity of K-beauty, fueled by hallyu, or the Korean wave. "With the availability of ODM services, anyone can easily create a beauty brand, leading to a wave of celebrities entering the cosmetics market," an official of a cosmetics company said.Putin apologizes to Azerbaijani leader for 'tragic incident' involving airlinerMillions displaced by global conflicts. Communities reeling from natural disasters. Lives upended because of health care inequalities. In the middle of these crises are established nonprofits, everyday individuals and mutual aid groups — all seeking your dollars to make a difference. With no shortage of worthy causes and the rise of new giving technologies, how should you donate? The choices can be immobilizing. Many people value conventional charities but others — Gen Z and millennials, as well as the unmarried and less religious, according to 2021 research by the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy — like to crowdfund by pooling donations online for folks in dire circumstances. “It’s really: what is the right type of support that either an organization or a community or an individual needs?” said Bloomerang Chief Customer Officer Todd Baylis, who co-founded the platform Qgiv to help nonprofits fundraise online. “And being able to tailor that to the individual giver.” Here are some questions worth considering. It might come down to whether you want to make a big difference for one person or help seed large-scale change. Tiltify is a technology platform that helps nonprofits and individual crowdfunders raise money. If donors want to ensure food gets to communities recovering from disasters, Tiltify CEO Michael Wasserman says a nonprofit contribution is probably best, as established organizations already have distribution pipelines and expertise. If you want to ensure a particular person can take care of themselves, he said, a direct donation to a crowdfunding campaign might make more sense than sending money “through a charitable funnel.” You could do both at once, according to one nonprofit that delivers cash transfers. GiveDirectly reports sending more than $860 million to 1.6 million people across three continents. Senior Program Manager Richard Nkurunziza says the idea initially was met with fears of misuse, but GiveDirectly finds that cash donations are a dignified way to empower people to invest in their unique needs. In Rwandan villages, he said, recipients spent donations on household renovations, new businesses and youth education — all of which benefit their entire community. “There’s a bit of agency,” he said. “It gives an opportunity for the recipient to make a decision on how they use the funds for themselves.” Crowdfunding could be considered “more democratic,” according to Claire van Teunenbroek, a University of Twente professor specializing in online giving behavior. Donors have more control over their gifts’ usage when they choose who benefits. The disadvantage, she said, is that people with the greatest needs aren’t always the ones with the most success. Humans are prone to supporting “easily sellable” projects with highly emotional appeals, and studies showed racial disparities in crowdfunding. The most popular reason donors told Bloomerang they stopped giving was because they did not trust contributions were used wisely, according to the company’s Generational Giving Report. The second most common response was that donors no longer felt connected to the nonprofit. The answers underscore the need for recipients to actively prove their trustworthiness. Tax-exempt nonprofits must submit annual financial disclosures to the Internal Revenue Service that include publicly available information, including executives’ salaries. Watchdogs, such as Charity Navigator, compile lists of verified nonprofits and assess their work. Crowdfunding is much more susceptible to fraud. The online sites are relatively unregulated, leaving the responsibility for protection up to donors and the platforms themselves. In GoFundMe’s case, donations can be refunded up to one year after they are made. The company advises that organizers identify themselves and their beneficiaries, and specify their plans for spending contributions. Online users mistakenly associate high donation numbers with credibility, van Teunenbroek said. She said risk is better mitigated by making sure the project’s description is detailed. “For a donor, if you prefer more certainty, then traditional nonprofits are probably better because they have an established reputation,” she said. ALSAC CEO Rick Shadyac said his charity works hard to make donors feel confident that their money is supporting the mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital: improving pediatric cancer survival rates worldwide by covering the costs of care and researching treatments. He urges people to give regardless of the medium and to always look for reputable causes. Bonafide charities, he said, bring “greater degrees of confidence” while crowdfunding requires more “due diligence.” Still, he sees room for both. ALSAC gets nearly one-quarter of its annual revenue during the last two months of the calendar, Shadyac said, the time of year designated “Giving Season.” The uptick could stem from the spirit of generosity around the holidays, he added. A 2023 study found that people in good moods are more likely to make a charitable donation. They also might be making year-end tax plans. “Not-for-profits give them the opportunity to address some things that are important to them while also getting a tax deduction,” Shadyac said. Crowdfunding donations to individual campaigns, however, cannot be written off on your taxes. Mutual aid refers to reciprocal support networks of neighbors who meet each other’s most pressing needs when existing systems fail. Participants often describe the act as “solidarity, not charity.” These groups often solicit cash contributions through online payment processors like Venmo, Cash App, PayPal or Zelle. Anyone can scan QR codes, which are usually shared on social media, to donate. The money goes straight to those impacted or helps purchase supplies for shared community resources. Transparency might come in the form of a receipt shared by organizers. Tamara Kneese joined mutual aid efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic to take care of her neighbors in Oakland. Kneese, a director at the nonprofit research institute Data & Society, said these groups tend to start as immediate responses to crises hurting disadvantaged communities. The idea, she added, is “state abandonment cannot be addressed by charitable giving alone.” “It is not just a sense of charity, like you make a donation and you’re done,” she said. “There is more of a relationship involved and it is not just transactional.” Get local news delivered to your inbox!

An Israeli strike has killed at least 30 Palestinians and wounded 50 others who were sheltering in a post office in central Gaza Strip, bringing the death toll on Thursday in the enclave to 66. or signup to continue reading With no sign of let-up in the 14-month-old conflict, the strike hit a postal facility in Nuseirat camp where displaced families had sought refuge and also damaged several nearby houses, medics told Reuters. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Nuseirat is one of the Gaza Strip's eight historic camps originally for Palestinian refugees from the 1948 war around the establishment of Israel. Today, it is part of a dense urban area crowded with displaced people from throughout the enclave. Earlier on Thursday, two Israeli strikes in southern Gaza killed 13 Palestinians who Gaza medics and Hamas said were part of a force protecting humanitarian aid trucks. Israel's military said they were Hamas militants trying to hijack the shipment. Many of those killed in the attacks on Rafah and Khan Younis had links to Hamas, according to sources close to the group. The Israeli military said in a statement the two air strikes aimed to ensure the safe delivery of humanitarian aid and accused Hamas members of planning to prevent the aid from reaching Gaza civilians who need it. The statement said the Hamas members aimed to hijack the aid "in support of continuing terrorist activity". Armed gangs have repeatedly hijacked aid trucks, and Hamas has formed a task force to confront them. The Hamas-led forces have killed over two dozen members of the gangs in recent months, Hamas sources and medics said. Hamas said Israeli military strikes have killed at least 700 police tasked with securing aid trucks in Gaza since the war began on October 7, 2023. It has accused Israel of trying to protect looting and "creating anarchy and chaos to prevent aid from reaching the people of Gaza". Separately, the Israeli military on Thursday ordered residents of several districts in the heart of Gaza City to evacuate, saying it would respond to rockets launched from those areas. "This is a pre-warning before an attack," read a military statement posted on X that some residents also received as text and audio alerts on their mobile phones. The evacuation orders caused a new wave of displacement. At nightfall, dozens of families streamed out of the areas heading toward the centre of the city. Israeli bombings of a residential building in Gaza City's al-Jalaa Street and a house west of Nuseirat killed 22 people, medics and the Palestinian news agency WAFA said. In the northern Gaza refugee camp of Jabalia, where the army has operated since October, health officials said an orthopaedic doctor, Saeed Judeh, was shot dead by Israeli forces while on his way to Al-Awda Hospital where he usually treated patients. The health ministry said his death raised to 1057 the number of healthcare workers killed since the war began. Months of ceasefire efforts by Arab mediators, Egypt and Qatar, backed by the United States, have failed to conclude a deal between the two warring sides. On Wednesday, the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly voted to demand an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire and the immediate release of all hostages seized in Israel in October 2023 and held by Hamas in Gaza. The war in the Palestinian enclave began after Hamas gunmen stormed into Israeli communities, killing around 1200 people and taking about 250 hostages back to Hamas-run Gaza, according to Israeli tallies. Since then, Israel's military has levelled swathes of Gaza, driving nearly all of its 2.3 million people from their homes, giving rise to deadly hunger and disease and killing more than 44,800 people, according to Palestinian health authorities.

After losing his place as starting quarterback in New York, Jones approached the Giants president John Mara on Friday and asked to be released from his contract, a request that was swiftly accepted. Yet not long after Mara announced his departure, eagle-eyed fans spotted that the 27-year-old had been listed as a Cowboys player on the team's website. It is unclear whether Dallas, who are without No. 1 quarterback Dak Prescott for the season, accidentally leaked a potential move or their site was hacked before quickly deleting it. However, fans on social media are desperate to see Jones head to Texas given the Cowboys are set to face the Giants on Thanksgiving next week, with many tipping him to get revenge on his old employers if that happens. One user wrote on X: 'Lmao play him on thanksgiving and beat the giants'.

This will be hilarious'. 'Troll unlimited, that would be great TV,' said a third. A fourth put: 'Cowboys by 3 TDs lmaooooooo'. While one simply posted: 'Could be the comedy special of the season'. Jones, who played 70 times for the Giants after being selected with the sixth overall pick at the 2019 draft, addressed his demotion in front of the media on Thursday with a message that had the tone of a farewell speech. 'The opportunity to play for the New York Giants was truly a dream come true and I'm extremely grateful Mara and Tisch families for the chance to play here,' he told reporters. 'The Giants are truly a first-class organization and I have nothing but genuine respect and appreciation for the people who have built it and have helped carry on that tradition. ' 'I've met so many so many special people and created relationships that will truly last a lifetime. Thank you [to] all my teammates, coaches, and staff that have done so much for me these past six years.' Fans are tipping the 27-year-old to beat the Giants with the Cowboys on Thanksgiving day Jones could line up in the opposite corner when the two teams meet in Dallas next week 'There have been some great times,' he continued. 'But, of course, we wish there have been more of those. I take full responsibility for my part and not bringing more wins. 'No one wanted to win more games worst than me and I gave everything I had in the field and in my preparation and I wish I could have done more.' Brian Daboll's team is enduring another miserable campaign after winning just two of their opening 10 fixtures and losing their last five, leaving them bottom of the NFC East. Last season they finished third with a 6-11 record. And it hasn't been much better for the Cowboys, who are 3-7 and just a place above the Giants in the NFC East.

Gabbard ignored shouted questions about her 2017 visit to war-torn Syria as she ducked into one of several private meetings with senators who are being asked to confirm Trump's unusual nominees . But the Democrat-turned-Republican Army National Reserve lieutenant colonel delivered a statement in which she reiterated her support for Trump's America First approach to national security and a more limited U.S. military footprint overseas. “I want to address the issue that’s in the headlines right now: I stand in full support and wholeheartedly agree with the statements that President Trump has made over these last few days with regards to the developments in Syria,” Gabbard said exiting a Senate meeting. The incoming president’s Cabinet and top administrative choices are dividing his Republican allies and drawing concern , if not full opposition, from Democrats and others. Not just Gabbard, but other Trump nominees including Pentagon pick Pete Hegseth, were back at the Capitol ahead of what is expected to be volatile confirmation hearings next year. The incoming president is working to put his team in place for an ambitious agenda of mass immigrant deportations, firing federal workers and rollbacks of U.S. support for Ukraine and NATO allies. “We’re going to sit down and visit, that’s what this is all about,” said Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., as he welcomed Gabbard into his office. The president-elect announced other appointments Monday, including his lawyer Harmeet Dhillon for assistant attorney general for civil rights at the Justice Department and Mark Paoletta as the returning general counsel of the Office of Management and Budget. Meanwhile, Defense Secretary pick Hegseth appeared to be picking up support from once-skeptical senators, the former Army National Guard major denying sexual misconduct allegations and pledging not to drink alcohol if he is confirmed. The president-elect's choice to lead the FBI, Kash Patel , who has written extensively about locking up Trump's foes and proposed dismantling the Federal Bureau of Investigation, launched his first visits with senators Monday. “I expect our Republican Senate is going to confirm all of President Trump’s nominees,” said Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., on social media. Despite widespread concern about the nominees' qualifications and demeanors for the jobs that are among the highest positions in the U.S. government, Trump's team is portraying the criticism against them as nothing more than political smears and innuendo. Showing that concern, nearly 100 former senior U.S. diplomats and intelligence and national security officials have urged Senate leaders to schedule closed-door hearings to allow for a full review of the government’s files on Gabbard. Trump's allies have described the criticisms of Hegseth in particular as similar to those lodged against Brett Kavanaugh, the former president's Supreme Court nominee who denied a sexual assault allegation and went on to be confirmed during Trump's first term in office. Said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., about Hegseth: “Anonymous accusations are trying to destroy reputations again. We saw this with Kavanaugh. I won’t stand for it.” One widely watched Republican, Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa, herself a former Army National Guard lieutenant colonel and sexual assault survivor who had been criticized by Trump allies for her cool reception to Hegseth, appeared more open to him after their follow-up meeting Monday. “I appreciate Pete Hegseth’s responsiveness and respect for the process,” Ernst said in a statement. Ernst said that following “encouraging conversations,” he had committed to selecting a senior official who will "prioritize and strengthen my work to prevent sexual assault within the ranks. As I support Pete through this process, I look forward to a fair hearing based on truth, not anonymous sources.” Ernst also had praise for Patel — “He shares my passion for shaking up federal agencies" — and for Gabbard. Once a rising Democratic star, Gabbard, who represented Hawaii in Congress, arrived a decade ago in Washington, her surfboard in tow, a new generation of potential leaders. She ran unsuccessfully for president in 2020. But Gabbard abruptly left the party and briefly became an independent before joining with Trump's 2024 campaign as one of his enthusiasts, in large part over his disdain for U.S. involvement overseas and opposition to helping Ukraine battle Russia. Her visit to Syria to meet with then-President Bashar Assad around the time of Trump's first inauguration during the country's bloody civil war stunned her former colleagues and the Washington national security establishment. The U.S. had severed diplomatic relations with Syria. Her visit was seen by some as legitimizing a brutal leader who was accused of war crimes. Gabbard has defended the trip, saying it's important to open dialogue, but critics hear in her commentary echoes of Russia-fueled talking points. Assad fled to Moscow over the weekend after Islamist rebels overtook Syria in a surprise attack, ending his family's five decades of rule. She said her own views have been shaped by “my multiple deployments and seeing firsthand the cost of war and the threat of Islamist terrorism.” Gabbard said, “It's one of the many reasons why I appreciate President Trump’s leadership and his election, where he is fully committed, as he has said over and over, to bring about an end to wars.” Last week, the nearly 100 former officials, who served in both Democratic and Republican administrations, said in the letter to Senate leaders they were “alarmed” by the choice of Gabbard to oversee all 18 U.S. intelligence agencies. They said her past actions “call into question her ability to deliver unbiased intelligence briefings to the President, Congress, and to the entire national security apparatus.” The Office of the Director of National Intelligence was created after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to coordinate the nation’s intelligence agencies and act as the president’s main intelligence adviser. ___ Associated Press writer Stephen Groves contributed to this report.
