Trump's tariffs would devastate auto sector, raise consumer costs: industry leaders
NoneIn the immediate wake of Dakota Ditcheva's title winning performance over Taila Santos at the PFL 2024 Championships, the Manchester native is one of the biggest names in the sport for at least one weekend. Fans have immediately begun speculation over how she would do against other great fighters like Valentina Shevchenko, where Ditcheva sits on the pound-for-pound list, and if she will move to the UFC in the near future. In an interview with TalkSport MMA , the martial arts star shed light on at least one of these questions. "It's difficult now because I've just beat the best girl here. I think big fights suit me better, but will anyone watch the PFL season without me?" The question is a valid one. The women's flyweight division did not even exist in PFL until this season, as the promotion shut down their lightweight division following Kayla Harrison's departure, instead forming the 125-lb division for Ditcheva, Santos, and Bellator champ Liz Carmouche. As far as big fights, the reference is clear. Valentina Shevchenko barely beat the woman Dakota just annihilated and is coming off a trilogy where she both lost and drew a fight. The UFC flyweight champion is scheduled to defend her title against French kickboxer Manon Fiorot soon. If Fiorot snatches the belt from Valentina, Manon vs. Ditcheva would also instantly become a big fight, as would fights against the likes of Zhang Weili, who may move up to flyweight, and Alexa Grasso. Even Natalia Silva could be a big fight one day, as a young, rising striking talent like Ditcheva herself. The status of 'Dangerous' Dakota's contract is unknown at present, she may be tied to PFL for the 2025 season and even beyond. Yet if she is not, a bidding war may ensue for her services, or she may go looking for big fights anyways now that she has $1 million in her wallet and money is less of an issue. BODY SHOT FINISH! DAKOTA DITCHEVA IS THE 2024 PFL WOMENS FLYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION! #ANDNOW #PFLWorldChampionship LIVE NOW ON ESPN+ pic.twitter.com/cU8qbGIiSe
Mr Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post, calling Charles Kushner “a tremendous business leader, philanthropist, & dealmaker”. Mr Kushner is the founder of Kushner Companies, a real estate firm. Jared Kushner is a former senior Trump adviser who is married to Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka. The elder Mr Kushner was pardoned by Trump in December 2020 after pleading guilty years earlier to tax evasion and making illegal campaign donations. Prosecutors alleged that after Charles Kushner discovered his brother-in-law was co-operating with federal authorities in an investigation, he hatched a scheme for revenge and intimidation. Mr Kushner hired a prostitute to lure his brother-in-law, then arranged to have the encounter in a New Jersey motel room recorded with a hidden camera and the recording sent to his own sister, the man’s wife, prosecutors said. Mr Kushner eventually pleaded guilty to 18 counts including tax evasion and witness tampering. He was sentenced in 2005 to two years in prison – the most he could receive under a plea deal, but less than what Chris Christie, the US attorney for New Jersey at the time and later governor and Republican presidential candidate, had sought. Mr Christie has blamed Jared Kushner for his firing from Mr Trump’s transition team in 2016, and has called Charles Kushner’s offences “one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes that I prosecuted when I was US attorney”. Mr Trump and the elder Mr Kushner knew each other from real estate circles and their children were married in 2009.TAPACHULA, Mexico (AP) — Mexican immigration authorities have broken up two small migrant caravans headed to the U.S. border, activists said Saturday. Some migrants were bused to cities in southern Mexico, and others were offered transit papers. The action comes a week after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump threatened to slap 25% tariffs on Mexican products unless the country does more to stem the flow of migrants to the U.S. border. On Wednesday, Trump wrote that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum had agreed to stop unauthorized migration across the border into the United States. Sheinbaum wrote on her social media accounts the same day that “migrants and caravans are taken care of before they reach the border.” Migrant rights activist Luis García Villagrán said the breaking-up of the two caravans appeared to be part of “an agreement between the president of Mexico and the president of the United States.” The first of the caravans started out from the southern Mexico city of Tapachula, near the border with Guatemala, on Nov. 5, the day Trump was elected. At its height it had about 2,500 people. In almost four weeks of walking, it had gone about 270 miles (430 kilometers) to Tehuantepec in the state of Oaxaca. In Tehuantepec, Mexican immigration officials offered the tired migrants free bus rides to other cities in southern or central Mexico. “They took some of us to Acapulco, others to Morelia, and others from our group to Oaxaca city,” said Bárbara Rodríguez, an opposition supporter who left her native Venezuela after that country's contested presidential elections earlier this year. Rodríguez said by telephone she later caught a bus on her own to Mexico City. The second caravan of about 1,500 migrants set out on Nov. 20 and made it about 140 miles (225 kilometers) to the town of Tonala, in Chiapas state. There, authorities offered a sort of transit visa that allows travel across Mexico for 20 days. Sheinbaum has said she is confident that a tariff war with the United States can be averted. But her statement — the day after she held a phone call with Trump — did not make clear who had offered what. Apart from the much larger first caravans in 2018 and 2019 — which were provided buses to ride part of the way north — no caravan has ever reached the U.S. border walking or hitchhiking in any cohesive way, though some individual members have made it. For years, migrant caravans have often been blocked, harassed or prevented from hitching rides by Mexican police and immigration agents. They have also frequently been rounded up or returned to areas near the Guatemalan border. Follow AP migration coverage at https://apnews.com/hub/migration
Technology advancements in Africa are helping to advance various environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals for companies and industries, and contribute to the efforts to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In a panel discussion hosted by Creamer Media on November 28, experts from various industries agreed that technology has been absolutely essential in driving development on the African continent. Vitality Health International Africa chief strategy and commercial officer Jessica Chivinge cited the example of advancements in telemedicine, particularly in Kenya and Nigeria. "Telemedicine has allowed remotely-based communities to access healthcare professionals and mobile health applications, which affords them access to more information and understanding of their own health. Telemedicine is making healthcare in Africa more affordable and more accessible for rural communities." "Additionally, AI in healthcare has enabled more accurate diagnostics and for treatment plans for patients to be created, especially in areas without advanced healthcare facilities," she added. MTN sustainability and shared value group executive Marina Madale said the group had been leading digital solutions on the continent, including those aimed at financial inclusion. "We are seeing more technology in the consumer space being adopted, which unlocks broader socioeconomic development," she stated. She agreed with Chivinge that telemedicine was a significant advancement for ESG on the continent, with MTN working with other companies to have drones in Uganda and Rwanda delivering medication and blood to rural and remote areas. "We are seeing more rural technology that helps cover areas that are harder to reach, and through increasing forms of mobile technology," Madale noted. Injozi group CEO Nick Argyros cited the example of technology advancement in Africa having helped people to gain access to US development funding and grants, as well as learning...

Number of seats: 3 Seats filled: 0 6pm: Count 2 for the Dublin Fingal West constituency has concluded with Sinn Féin’s Louise O’Reilly still in front and likely to be elected on the third count. Aontú's Robbie Loughlin has been eliminated. Second count results with redistribution of votes: 5pm: In the first count for the Dublin Fingal West constituency, the electorate consisted of 51,403, and the total poll saw 30,285 votes cast. Out of these, 168 votes were spoiled, leaving a valid poll of 30,117 votes. The quota required to be elected in this count was 7,530 votes. No candidates were elected during this count. From Count 2 onwards, the redistributed votes will come from the eliminated candidates. These include votes from Mark Joseph Parsons (IP), Oghenetano John Uwhumiakpor (Independent), John Oakes (IFP), and Ben Gilroy (Liberty Republic). In terms of vote distribution, the candidates' results in Count 1 are as follows: SF’s Louise O'Reilly and FG’s Grace Boland are leading the pack the pack, while other candidates, such as John Oakes, Mark Joseph Parsons, and Oghenetano John Uwhumiakpor, will be eliminated in Count 2 and their votes will be redistributed. 4.10pm: Rumour has it that results from the first count for Fingal West are due in around 30 minutes. 4.05pm: Sinn Féin’s Louise O’Reilly has said she is “very pleased” with how things are looking so far. The outgoing TD looks set to repeat her 2020 general election performance and top the poll and become the first elected in her constituency. "We had a lot of people who were ringing the office and saying, 'Look, when can I vote for you?' which is always a good sign,” she said. "But also there was a real, real mood for change, a real appetite for change on the doors. And I think that's what was reflected in the vote. "I'm very pleased with today’s tally indicators similar to my 2020 vote, which many people said was a flash-in-the-pan that wouldn't be repeated, well it has been repeated. "My vote held up, and it did so because of my party, I think, but also because of the work I do. "It's always tough in a three-seater, it's a completely different prospect to a five-seater. I'm just delighted,” she added. Sinn Féin's Louise O'Reilly said she is glad that she proved her 2020 topping of the poll wasn't a 'flash in the pan' moment 3.40pm: Still no announcement on first counts 3.20pm: It was announced that adjudication would take place at 3.30pm 2.30pm: Green Party TD and Minister of State with responsibility for Community Development and Charities Joe O’Brien has said that “It’s not going to be a good day for the party”. Judging by latest tallies he is clearly going to lose his seat in the constituency with just 6.2pc of first preference votes. In the 2024 elections tallies have showed he has roughly 1,793 first preference votes so far in comparison to the 8,400 first preference votes he got on the first count back in 2020. Speaking to the Irish Independent at the National Show Centre in Swords he thanked his campaign team for the hard work over the past couple of months. 'I've lost my seat anyway' says outgoing Green Party TD Joe O'Brien "We put an awful lot of work in... we are walking away, a lot of us with essential achievements, and that's what we're gonna hang on to,” Minister O’Brien said. "We hope we retain some few seats so that a lot of the things that we've got done... don't get that slip away in the next door, that would be our concern. "I've lost my seat anyway, and that's very disappointing from my point of view. But as I said, you know, we put a lot of work in,” he added. He said that the redrawing of the constituency definitely hindered his likelihood to retain his seat “losing half of his base”. "We knew that risk, and that's, that's politics, that's the way it goes. Sometimes it seems to be that that's continuing to be the pattern in Irish politics,” he said. "If you're given a mandate by the people, I think you have a responsibility to step up to the place and follow through, regardless of who you may or may not have to collaborate with in government. Election Extra: Shinners surge, shy Fianna Fáilers and Hutch well in contention (Live From The RDS) "Our message will always remain relevant, and we as a group of politicians and activists, will always remain committed, and we'll be there waiting again,” he added. The news comes after Green Party leader Roderic O’Gorman confirmed that the party are not performing well so far and expect to retain only roughly 2 or 3 of the 12 seats the previously had. 1pm: The first count has gotten well underway with rumours that we will only get results after 3pm. 11.30am: 100pc of the boxes in Fingal West have been opened and tallied. Here are the final results: The estimated quota for Fingal West is 7,295 Sinn Féin's Louise O'Reilly is still leading the pack but will likely be just shy of making the quota on the first count. Battling it out for the two remaining seats will be Robert O'Donoghue of the Labour Party, Fine Gael's first time candidate Grace Boland and Fianna Fáil's Lorraine Clifford Lee. Final tally results for Fingal West at 11.30am 10.30am: Early tallies in Dublin Fingal West show Sinn Féin's Louise O'Reilly ahead, but with Fine Gael's and Labour's candidates close behind. Over two third of boxes have now been opened. Outgoing Green Party minister of state Joe O'Brien is currently lagging behind but he'll be hoping to see his position improve as more votes from Balbriggan are yet to be tallied. It might be a close race yet for Fine Gael’s Grace Boland and Fianna Fáil Senator Lorraine Clifford Lee. Calling it now, it looks like Louise O’Reilly might be elected on the first count, all going well for her. Fingal West tallies at 10.30am 10am: The first tallies have come in for Fingal West here is what we know so far.. Leading so far is current TD Sinn Féin’s Louise O’Reilly with 1,705 first preference votes making up 22.3pc of the total votes counted. Fine Gael’s first time candidate Grace Boland is also doing well with 1,614 first preference votes making up 19.3pc of the votes counted so far. Coming behind her then is Labour’s Robert O’Donoghue hoping to become a TD for his party with 1,536 first preference votes making up 18.4pc of the total votes counted. Also doing well is Independent candidate Tony Murphy with 11.0pc of the total votes so far. Fianna Fáil’s Lorraine Clifford Lee is doing okay with 933 first preference votes she has 10.9pc of the total votes so far Dublin's Fingal West tally at 9.45am 9am: Boxes have been opened in the National Show Centre and candidates along with tally people are watching eagerly on for some indication of where things may be going.
