Pollsters had predicted a tight day, and in the end they were right. Of the four issues up for vote on Sunday, the biggest winning majority was 53.8% (eviction rules). And while Swiss authorities managed to avoid defeat on all four issues – another outcome mooted beforehand – they did come out with a black eye on the headline vote: a much-vaunted expansion of the country’s motorway system. The government’s road infrastructure plans have hit a brick wall: after a tight race, 52.7% of voters rejected a CHF5 billion ($5.6 billion) motorway expansion project . The plan, approved in parliament last year, would have involved widening or building new roads at six key points on the country’s motorway system, notably near the capital, Bern, and on a busy stretch between Geneva and Lausanne. On Sunday, the Green Party hailed a historic rejection of what it called “an out-of-date transport policy”. Along with left-wing and ecologist groups, the Greens campaigned with arguments about the environmental impact of the project and the fear that bigger roads would merely spawn more traffic. They now want the funds to be spent on public transport, active mobility, and renovating existing motorways. Backers of the project had argued that traffic jams had ballooned in recent years and investment was needed to keep pace with the growing Swiss population. The project should be seen as part of an overarching strategy which already includes investment in public transport and other forms of mobility, Transport Minister Albert Rösti told Swiss public television, SRF, during the campaign. But initial support for the project faded during the campaign , polls found, leading to a final defeat that one right-wing politician described on Sunday as a “kick in the teeth”. Another Centre Party politician involved in the “yes” campaign, Fabio Regazzi, told SRF radio that the result revealed “a certain shift” among the Swiss population. A few years ago, such a vote would easily have been accepted, Regazzi reckoned. A majority of voters (53.8%) also rejected on Sunday a proposal to make it easier for landlords to terminate leases early in order to use a property for their own purposes. Meanwhile, 51.6% turned down a plan for tighter controls for subletting apartments and other property – both residential and commercial. The two issues have gained much attention, as tenancy law affects the majority of Swiss. Around 60% of the population – the highest percentage in Europe – rents a home . The proposal to ease eviction rules was rejected in almost all French-speaking cantons, with particularly high opposition in Geneva (67.8% of the population), which suffers from a chronic housing shortage. Sunday’s vote follows parliament’s ratification last year of the two tenancy law amendments, initiated by right-wing politicians, in favour of landlords. Following this, Asloca, the powerful national tenants’ association, launched a referendum , criticising the changes as an attack by the property lobby. Opponents of the eviction change had warned that it would make it easier for landlords to terminate leases and throw tenants out of their apartments under the pretext of personal use. They accused them of wanting to take advantage of the housing shortage and re-let apartments at higher prices. Real estate circles and the right had argued that the legal revisions were targeted and fair and clarified the current law. Under the subletting provision, landlords would have had greater leeway to prevent tenants from subletting their apartment. Landlords would have been able to refuse “abusive” subletting, for instance, if it had lasted longer than two years or if an apartment had been sublet at too high a price. The Swiss public broadcaster, SRF, described the results as “a warning shot across the bows” of the centre-right parties that had initially backed the tenancy changes. “People are critical of interventions in tenancy law in favour of landlords,” it said. Parliament is set to discuss further elements of tenancy law in 2025. New rules that would make it more difficult for tenants to take legal action against high rents will be debated. So far, a majority in parliament been emerging for the changes. But today’s vote could prompt some politicians to “reconsider the situation”, wrote SRF. Finally, 53.3% of voters accepted a complex healthcare proposal aimed at boosting the volume of outpatient procedures and disincentivising costly inpatient – i.e. with at least one night spent in hospital – care. The result means that a new financing model will enter force in the coming years, which will see cantons and health insurance firms fund the different types of treatment according to a standardised model. Currently, cantons pay 55% of inpatient costs, but don’t contribute at all to outpatient care; in the future, the division of costs for both will be the same – at least 26.9% by cantons, at most 76.3% by insurers. Regine Sauter from the centre-right Radical-Liberal Party said on Sunday that the result was a “milestone for the Swiss healthcare system”. Not only will it boost outpatient treatment; it also shows that the system is “capable of reform”, she told public television, SRF. As with pensions, proposed overhauls to the Swiss healthcare system often have a hard time getting past voters. Opponents, who did not contest the benefits of outpatient care, argued that the reform would not do enough to tackle the central problem: the steady year-on-year rise in the cost of compulsory insurance. Trade unions, who launched the referendum against the change, also warned that more influence for private insurers in nursing homes could have a negative impact on care. And while they managed to convince a majority in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, overall they were edged out thanks to a larger “yes” vote in German-speaking regions. Meanwhile they saw themselves as clear underdogs: they were up against “one of the most powerful lobby groups in Switzerland” – health insurers and associations, Social Democrat politician David Roth told SRF.Eastside Distilling CEO of Subsidiary Buys $36,749 in Stock
The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said Friday that hospitals have only two days' fuel left before they must restrict services, after the UN warned aid delivery to the war-devastated territory is being crippled. The warning came a day after the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant more than a year into the Gaza war. The United Nations and others have repeatedly decried humanitarian conditions, particularly in northern Gaza, where Israel said Friday it had killed two commanders involved in Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack that triggered the war. Gaza medics said an overnight Israeli raid on the cities of Beit Lahia and nearby Jabalia resulted in dozens killed or missing. Marwan al-Hams, director of Gaza's field hospitals, told reporters all hospitals in the Palestinian territory "will stop working or reduce their services within 48 hours due to the occupation's (Israel's) obstruction of fuel entry". World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said he was "deeply concerned about the safety and well-being of 80 patients, including 8 in the intensive care unit" at Kamal Adwan hospital, one of just two partly operating in northern Gaza. Kamal Adwan director Hossam Abu Safia told AFP it was "deliberately hit by Israeli shelling for the second day" Friday and that "one doctor and some patients were injured". Late Thursday, the UN's humanitarian coordinator for the Palestinian territories, Muhannad Hadi, said: "The delivery of critical aid across Gaza, including food, water, fuel and medical supplies, is grinding to a halt." He said that for more than six weeks, Israeli authorities "have been banning commercial imports" while "a surge in armed looting" has hit aid convoys. Vowing to stop Hamas from regrouping, Israel on October 6 began an air and ground operation in Jabalia and then expanded it to Beit Lahia. Gaza's health ministry says the operation has killed thousands. The UN says more than 100,000 have been displaced from the area, and an official told the Security Council last week that people "are effectively starving". Issuing the warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant, the Hague-based ICC said there were "reasonable grounds" to believe they bore "criminal responsibility" for the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare, and crimes against humanity including over "the lack of food, water, electricity and fuel, and specific medical supplies". A furious Netanyahu said: "Israel rejects with disgust the absurd and false actions and accusations made against it." He said the judges were "driven by anti-Semitic hatred of Israel". On Friday, he thanked his Hungarian counterpart Viktor Orban for inviting him to visit in defiance of the ICC warrant, which Orban branded "political". Hungary currently holds the rotating EU presidency. US President Joe Biden, whose country is Israel's top military supplier, called the warrants against Israeli leaders "outrageous", but other world leaders supported the court. Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris said Netanyahu would be arrested if he set foot in the country. Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday discussed efforts to reach a ceasefire in Lebanon, the White House said. The ICC also issued a warrant for Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif, saying it had grounds to suspect him of war crimes and crimes against humanity over the attacks on Israel that sparked the war, including "sexual and gender-based violence" against hostages. Israel said it killed Deif in July, but Hamas has not confirmed his death. On Thursday, a UN representative said an Israeli raid on Palmyra in Syria this week was "likely the deadliest" by Israel on the country so far. On Friday, a war monitor said the strikes killed 92 pro-Iran fighters. Israel again bombed Gaza on Friday. In Gaza City, just south of Jabalia, one man who said he took his cousins to hospital after a strike urged "the world... to put an end" to the war. Belal, who gave only his first name, said 10 members of his family had been killed. At least 44,056 people have been killed in Gaza during more than 13 months of war, most of them civilians, according to figures from Gaza's health ministry which the United Nations considers reliable. Hamas triggered the war with the deadliest attack in Israeli history, which resulted in the deaths of 1,206 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures. The war expanded to Lebanon in late September when Israel escalated air strikes against Iran-backed Hezbollah and later sent ground troops into southern Lebanon, after nearly a year of tit-for-tat cross-border exchanges which Hezbollah said were in support of Hamas. Lebanon says more than 3,580 people have been killed in the country, most of them since late September. A strike on Baalbek in the east killed the director of Dar al-Amal university hospital and six colleagues, the health ministry said late Friday. Israeli strikes also targeted the southern outskirts of the capital Beirut late Friday and into early Saturday, images from AFP and state media showed. And Lebanon's official National News Agency reported continued strikes in the south of the country, where UN peacekeepers have reported being fired on numerous times, blaming both Israel and "non-state" actors. On Friday, Rome said Hezbollah was probably behind rocket fire that lightly wounded four Italian peacekeepers. bur-ami/srm/tym/cwlNone

Police arrested a 26-year-old man on Monday in the Manhattan killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO after they say a Pennsylvania McDonald's worker alerted authorities to a customer who resembled the suspected gunman. The suspect, identified by police as Luigi Nicholas Mangione, had a gun believed to be the one used in Wednesday’s attack on Brian Thompson , as well as writings expressing anger at corporate America, police said. Here are some of the latest developments in the investigation: Mangione was taken into custody at around 9:15 a.m. after police received a tip that he was eating at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 85 miles (137 kilometers) east of Pittsburgh, police said. Mangione was being held in Pennsylvania on gun charges and will eventually be extradited to New York to face charges in connection with Thompson’s death , said NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny. In addition to a three-page, handwritten document that suggests he harbored “ill will toward corporate America,” Kenny said Mangione also had a ghost gun, a type of weapon that can be assembled at home and is difficult to trace. Officers questioned Mangione, who was acting suspiciously and carrying multiple fraudulent IDs, as well as a U.S. passport, New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a news conference. Officers also found a sound suppressor, or silencer, “consistent with the weapon used in the murder,” the commissioner said. He had clothing and a mask similar to those worn by the shooter and a fraudulent New Jersey ID matching one the suspect used to check into a New York City hostel before the shooting, Tisch said. Kenny said Mangione was born and raised in Maryland, has ties to San Francisco and that his last known address is in Honolulu. Mangione, who was valedictorian of his Maryland prep school, earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science in 2020 from the University of Pennsylvania, a university spokesman told The Associated Press on Monday. He learned to code in high school and helped start a club at Penn for people interested in gaming and game design, according to a 2018 story in Penn Today, a campus publication. His social media posts also suggest that he belonged to the fraternity Phi Kappa Psi. They also show him taking part in a 2019 program at Stanford University, and in photos with family and friends at the Jersey Shore and in Hawaii, San Diego, Puerto Rico, and other destinations. The Gilman School, from which Mangione graduated in 2016, is one of Baltimore’s elite prep schools. Some of the city’s wealthiest and most prominent people, including Orioles legend Cal Ripken Jr., have had children attend the school. Its alumni include sportswriter Frank Deford and former Arizona Gov. Fife Symington. In his valedictory speech, Luigi Mangione described his classmates’ “incredible courage to explore the unknown and try new things,” according to a post on the school website. He praised their collective inventiveness and pioneering mindset. Mangione took a software programming internship after high school at Maryland-based video game studio Firaxis, where he fixed bugs on the hit strategy game Civilization 6, according to a LinkedIn profile. Firaxis parent company Take-Two Interactive said Monday it would not comment on former employees. He more recently worked at the car-buying website TrueCar, according to the head of the Santa Monica, California-based company. “While we generally don’t comment on personnel matters, we confirm that Luigi Mangione has not been an employee of our company since 2023,” TrueCar CEO Jantoon Reigersman said by email. Mangione comes from a prominent Maryland family. His grandfather Nick Mangione, who died in 2008, was a successful real estate developer. One of his best-known projects was Turf Valley Resort, a sprawling luxury retreat and conference center outside Baltimore that he purchased in 1978. The father of 10 children, Nick Mangione prepared his five sons — including Luigi Mangione’s father, Louis Mangione — to help manage the family business, according to a 2003 Washington Post report. The Mangione family also purchased Hayfields Country Club north of Baltimore in 1986. On Monday, Baltimore County police officers blocked off an entrance to the property, which public records link to Luigi Mangione’s parents. Reporters and photographers gathered outside the entrance. Luigi Mangione is one of 37 grandchildren of Nick Mangione, according to the grandfather's obituary. Luigi Mangione's grandparents donated to charities through the Mangione Family Foundation, according to a statement from Loyola University commemorating Nick Mangione’s wife’s death in 2023. They donated to various causes ranging from Catholic organizations to colleges and the arts. One of Luigi Mangione’s cousins is Republican Maryland state legislator Nino Mangione, a spokesman for the lawmaker's office confirmed Monday. Police said the person who killed Thompson left a hostel on Manhattan's Upper West Side at 5:41 a.m. on Wednesday. Just 11 minutes later, he was seen on surveillance video walking back and forth in front of the New York Hilton Midtown, wearing a distinctive backpack. At 6:44 a.m., he shot Thompson at a side entrance to the hotel, fled on foot, then climbed aboard a bicycle and within four minutes had entered Central Park. Another security camera recorded the gunman leaving the park near the American Museum of Natural History at 6:56 a.m. still on the bicycle but without the backpack. After getting in a taxi, he headed north to a bus terminal near the George Washington Bridge, arriving at around 7:30 a.m. From there, the trail of video evidence runs cold. Police have not located video of the suspect exiting the building, leading them to believe he likely took a bus out of town. Police said they are still investigating the path the suspect took to Pennsylvania. “This just happened this morning," Kenny said. "We’ll be working, backtracking his steps from New York to Altoona, Pennsylvania,” Kenny said. Associated Press reporters Lea Skene in Baltimore, Matt O'Brien in Providence, Rhode Island, and Cedar Attanasio in New York contributed to this report.DALLAS — The Winnipeg Jets have finally hit the end of the long road here in Dallas.

DALLAS — The Winnipeg Jets have finally hit the end of the long road here in Dallas. Now the question is whether the hockey club has any fuel left in the tank? Stops in Pittsburgh, Nashville, St. Paul, Los Angeles and Las Vegas have produced a 2-3-0 record so far. If the Jets are to finish this 10-day trek at .500, they’ll need to find a way to beat a tough Stars team on Sunday afternoon. “This has been a grind. It really has,” said head coach Scott Arniel. “We’ve got one more to go here. We’d all love to go home 3-3.” Ryan Sun / The Associated Press The Winnipeg Jets will play the Dallas Stars on Sunday to cap off a six-game road trip that’s seen them travel from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles – with a few stops in between – and earn a record of 2-3-0 in their last five games. One potentially good bit of news emerged during Saturday’s optional practice at American Airlines Center — forward Nikolaj Ehlers, who left Friday’s 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights with a lower-body injury, has not entirely been ruled out. “We’ll see how he is tomorrow, see if he’s any better. Get some treatment, get some rest today. And then look at it tomorrow and see where we’re at,” said Arniel. “He’s the type of guy that wants to play. It doesn’t help that it’s a 3:30 game (with no morning skate).” “He has a skill-set that opposition coaches kind of circle. His skill and his speed and his ability to create.” Ehlers was one of a handful of players who didn’t hit the ice, along with Mark Scheifele (who is also battling an undisclosed ailment), Vlad Namestnikov (he also missed Thursday’s skate in Vegas for maintenance) and defenceman Dylan DeMelo. Winnipeg still has the best record in the NHL at 18-6-0, although they are just 3-5-0 in the last eight games overall as tough travel, tough opponents and some tough breaks on the injury front all take a toll. Shutdown defenceman Dylan Samberg suffered a broken foot a week ago against the Predators and is sidelined indefinitely, and the Jets certainly missed Ehlers’ presence for the second half of their game against the Golden Knights, especially late as they pushed for the equalizer with a 6-on-4 advantage in the final minute. “He has a skill-set that opposition coaches kind of circle. His skill and his speed and his ability to create,” Arniel said of Ehlers, who is third on the team in scoring with 25 points (9G, 16A) in 24 games. “It’s a hole when he’s not there.” Alex Iafallo jumped up from the fourth line to take Ehlers’ spot beside Namestnikov and Cole Perfetti, who snapped an 11-game scoring slump with two goals. That trio would likely remain intact if Ehlers can’t go, and David Gustafsson — a healthy scratch for 23 of 24 games — would come into the lineup to fill Iafallo’s role. Ian Maule / The Associated Press Winnipeg Jets’ Cole Perfetti scores on Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Adin Hill in the first period of their game Friday in Las Vegas. The Golden Knights won 4-3. “I was real proud of Cole last night. He’s been struggling,” said Arniel. “The biggest thing is where he went and scored that first goal. It was to the net-front against a team that’s real hard. Vegas doesn’t let you get inside, and he went right in there and got that first one. I liked the way he competed on pucks. That line has to do that. If Al’s in there tomorrow, we’ll see how it goes without Fly (Ehlers).” Iafallo had a great net-front drive on Perfetti’s second goal and will look to do more of the same if required. “It’s tough when a guy goes down like Fly in the second, obviously we had to just pick up from there and try to get as many chances as we could,” he said. “It was great for him to get those two goals. Now he’s just got to remember to not grip his stick too hard. Just play the right way and it will eventually go in.” “It was great for him to get those two goals. Now he’s just got to remember to not grip his stick too hard. Just play the right way and it will eventually go in, and that’s what he did yesterday. He had a great game.” Hellebuyck will start in goal for the Jets after getting a rest against the Golden Knights. Arniel wasn’t about to tip his hand as to other potential lineup decisions. He opted to scratch third-pairing defencemen Ville Heinola and Colin Miller against Vegas in favour of Dylan Coghlan (making his Jets debut after 23 straight scratches) and Logan Stanley (coming off the injured list). “I felt good. First couple shifts I got into it early with a little turnover and then getting my stick on a puck that probably was going to go into the net,” said Coghlan, who still has several friends on the Golden Knights after playing his first two NHL seasons (2020-21, 2021-22) there. The undrafted 26-year-old says he prides himself on being a good teammate and understood why it was tough to crack an otherwise healthy Jets lineup that was flying so high. “I feel like I’ve done a pretty good job trying to stay mentally prepared and ready. Through video and stuff, just making sure those little things I’m not losing sight of,” said Coghlan. “It is hard, but I’ve done it in the past so it’s not something I’m new to. Obviously everybody wants to play, but happy for all the guys and I don’t think anybody expected us to start 15-1. I’m not one to complain when guys are playing well and the team’s doing so well. That’s kind of my mindset.” Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Although they suffered a second straight loss, Arniel was much more pleased with the effort against Vegas than the one on Wednesday night in Los Angeles, where the Jets mustered just 14 shots in a lacklustre 4-1 setback. “I liked a lot of what we did. There were a lot of good things. We stayed in it,” said Arniel. “Now Dallas, a different team, a different look.” This is the second meeting of the year between the Jets and Stars, with Winnipeg taking the first by a 4-1 score back on Nov. 9 at Canada Life Centre. “To me this is the second-best team in the Western Conference,” Arniel said of Dallas, which is coming off a 5-3 victory over Colorado on Friday. “These guys are real good and they’re probably going to be real angry after our game that we had in Winnipeg. We’re going to have make sure we have all our energy, all our right mindset.” Iafallo doesn’t believe that will be a problem, even if fatigue is a real factor during a schedule such as this. “We definitely have to have a good game and try to get a win out of this,” he said. “Our expectations are high, so we’ve got to keep pushing to get to that next level. Obviously we had a good start to the season but this long road trip, we’ve got to come together and finish it with a good end. The boys are going to be ready to do whatever it takes.” mike.mcintyre@freepress.mb.ca X and Bluesky: @mikemcintyrewpg Mike McIntyre is a sports reporter whose primary role is covering the Winnipeg Jets.
