Canadians warned to use caution in South Korea after martial law declared then lifted VANCOUVER — Global Affairs Canada is warning Canadians in South Korea to avoid demonstrations and exercise caution after the country's president imposed an hours-long period of martial law. Chuck Chiang, The Canadian Press Dec 3, 2024 2:53 PM Dec 3, 2024 3:05 PM Share by Email Share on Facebook Share on X Share on LinkedIn Print Share via Text Message South Korean martial law soldiers leave the National Assembly in Seoul, South Korea, Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP-Yonhap, Kim Ju-sung VANCOUVER — Global Affairs Canada is warning Canadians in South Korea to avoid demonstrations and exercise caution after the country's president imposed an hours-long period of martial law. The situation in South Korea arose after President Yoon Suk Yeol imposed martial law on Tuesday, vowing to eliminate what he described as "anti-state" forces from the opposition that controls parliament. Yoon's declaration triggered tense political drama, as troops surrounded the parliament while 190 lawmakers gathered inside to vote to lift the martial law shortly after it was imposed. Global Affairs Canada has not raised the risk level for Canadians in South Korea but did ask those in the country to monitor local media for the latest information, while following authorities' instructions, such as curfew orders. A Vancouver-based travel agent says the chaos in Seoul is not likely to have a major effect on Canadian visitor numbers to South Korea. Glynnis Chan, owner of Happy Times Travel, says the martial law dissolved quickly and will likely have minimal impact on people's travel plans, which tend to be made at least two months in advance. "There's always some sort of impact, but it really depends on what happens with the situation over the long term," Chan says. "If nothing more happens, people forget after a week or so about what took place." Chan says she is not expecting any impact on her business, since Japan is a more popular destination among her customers. Several Korean-Canadian travel agencies in Metro Vancouver declined to comment on the political situation in Seoul. After Yoon's declaration of martial law, hundreds of protesters gathered in front of the national assembly, waving banners and calling for Yoon’s impeachment, while others scuffled with military troops. The South Korean parliamentary members eventually voted to lift the declaration, with national assembly Speaker Woo Won Shik declaring it “invalid.” Police and military personnel were then seen leaving the assembly’s grounds after Woo's call for their withdrawal. Jae-Yeon Lim, vice-president of the Canada Korea Business Association, says seeing military personnel clash with protesters and lawmakers brought back "harrowing" memories of the 1980 student-led demonstrations in Gwangju that were violently suppressed. Yoon’s move was the first declaration of martial law since the country’s democratization in 1987, and South Korea’s last previous martial law was in October 1979. "It has been a very difficult experience to see that," Lim says of the latest martial law declaration. "But that said, I'm really happy to see that ... the national assembly managed to get the majority vote to repeal this, and they managed to do that at the risk of their own lives, even though military was there. "This is a country that will stand up for democracy." Lim also says there would likely be little impact on bilateral relations or trade between the two countries stemming from the sudden onset of political drama, given how quickly martial law was lifted. "It's not going to stop business from seeking to expand in Canada," Lim says. "There's still a very strong interest to do so from many businesses (in South Korea). "We have yet to see what will happen next, but I think that I'm a little bit reassured in seeing what has transpired ... that people are ready to defend their country and democratic rule-of-law." — With files from The Associated Press This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 3, 2024.

OTTAWA - Canada has again breached its years-long policy and voted in support of a United Nations motion critical of Israel, based on concerns about the viability of a two-state solution. “The dynamics in the broader region show very clearly that conflict management, as opposed to genuine conflict resolution, is not in fact a sustainable path to peace, security and prosperity,” Canada’s ambassador to the United Nations, Bob Rae, told a UN plenary Tuesday. For years, Canada backed Israel in votes at the international body, but the federal Liberals changed that policy a year ago, citing concerns over policies that undermine Ottawa’s decades-long policy of advocating for an eventual Palestinian country that would exist in peace alongside Israel. That change also came amid widespread concern from humanitarian groups and legal experts about Israel’s compliance with international humanitarian law in its campaign in the Gaza Strip. UN member states passed a motion 157 to 8, with seven abstentions, reaffirming the illegality of Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories and condemning the use of force against Palestinian civilians. The motion passed Tuesday also calls for a peace conference, and is similar to motions brought before the UN multiple times. It called out “terror against civilians on all sides” but did not name Hamas or any Palestinian militant group, drawing criticism from Israel advocates. Rae said the motion should have been more balanced, but Ottawa wanted to signal its concern about the viability of a Palestinian state. “We voted in favour of this resolution, like many, many others (did) to signal our firm commitment to the two-state solution,” he said. Rae reiterated condemnation of the October 2023 attack by Hamas against Israel, and called for the return of all hostages including the body of Canadian citizen Judih Weinstein Haggai. “All Palestinians deserve to be led by a legitimate and representative government without the participation of a terrorist organization such as Hamas,” Rae told the UN plenary. Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong decried today’s vote as singling out Israel, writing on the platform X that supporting the motion would “reverse Canada’s long-standing position on Israel.” He said that a Conservative government would be “ensuring alignment with our closest democratic allies.” Tuesday’s vote was supported by the U.K., Japan and most European Union states. The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs says the Liberals had voted against similar motions for almost a decade. “Today’s reversal to vote yes instead represents an abandonment of Canada’s long-standing, principled foreign policy,” the group wrote on X. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 3, 2024.Philadelphia news 24/7: Watch NBC10 free wherever you are In a Thursday interview with CNBC's Jim Cramer , E.l.f. Beauty CEO Tarang Amin denied recent accusations from a high-profile short seller who said the cosmetics company has been overstating its revenue, calling the report "absolute nonsense." "The facts are, we just finished our 23 rd consecutive quarter of net sales and market share growth, and our company's extremely healthy, has terrific controls on inventory, on revenue recognition and is very well-run," Amin said. "This is a short seller trying to manipulate the stock down at the expense of other shareholders." Hedge fund Muddy Waters said Wednesday that it had shorted shares of E.l.f., alleging that the cosmetics company had overstated its inventory numbers. Amin said E.l.f. asked the U.S. Customs and Border Protection in February to keep its import data confidential for "competitive reasons," so Muddy Waters' claims don't hold weight. E.l.f. has seen growth even as peers in the beauty industry struggle with an inflated consumer landscape. Amin has said previously that his company's low prices draw in consumers who feel stretched and highlighted the viral success of some of its digital marketing campaigns. But Muddy Waters claimed its proof of deceit goes beyond import data. "In addition to the import data, Muddy Waters confirmed with three of E.l.f.'s four major suppliers that E.l.f.'s purchases have declined this calendar year," Muddy Waters founder Carson Block told CNBC in a statement. "One of the suppliers stated E.l.f.'s purchases were down due to E.l.f. working down its inventory balance. It's telling that E.l.f's response failed to address our finding that E.l.f.'s inventory increase could not have been due to a sourcing process change." Amin dismissed these allegations, citing net sales growth from the previous quarter and consumer data outlets that show E.l.f. gaining market share. "If you look at our consumption on Nielson and Circana, it's extremely strong," he said. "In fact, we built up inventory to be able to meet the strong demand that we're seeing not only in the U.S., but also internationally, our international business was up 91% last quarter."

Shares of were pulling back today after the U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) asked a judge overseeing an antitrust case against the Google parent to order Alphabet to sell its popular Chrome web browser. The news was the latest sign of regulatory aggression toward Alphabet, and the stock was down 5.9% as of 2:15 p.m. ET. Is Alphabet an illegal monopoly? Alphabet has been no stranger to regulatory pressure, as the DOJ also recently said that Google’s payments to ( ) to be the default search engine run afoul of antitrust rules. The DOJ additionally argued that Google’s ownership of Android gave it an unfair advantage and summarized its case, saying, “The playing field is not level because of Google’s conduct, and Google’s quality reflects the ill-gotten gains of an advantage illegally acquired.” Alphabet pushed back on the DOJ’s argument, saying its demands would “hurt consumers and America’s global technological leadership.” Chrome isn’t a direct revenue driver for Alphabet, but it helps the company bring users into its ecosystem, where it can drive ad revenue, collect their data, and form partnerships that help monetize the platform. Still, losing Chrome would likely be a significant setback to Alphabet’s business and Google’s image, not to mention the Justice Department’s other charges against the company. What’s next for Alphabet? The Trump administration is set to take over the DOJ in two months, so the future of the case against Google is unclear. The president-elect has enjoyed backing from a number of Silicon Valley bigwigs and venture capitalists, and Wall Street also cheered the election result, believing that it would bring less regulation. A number of financiers believe the Biden administration has overstepped its mandate in antitrust regulation and in blocking mergers and acquisitions. Still, investors clearly see the DOJ case as a risk to the stock, and a judgment in favor of the DOJ would damage Google. The federal court overseeing the case has scheduled a two-week hearing in April 2025 to determine what changes the company must make so that it is no longer an illegal monopoly, and the case is expected to be resolved sometime next year. Investors should expect the news to continue to move the stock, and be on the lookout for further updates on the case.Zhong Moyan, who served as the principal of Sunshine Elementary School for over a decade, was known for her strict disciplinary measures and dedication to the students.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. , Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Charles & Colvard, Ltd. ("Charles & Colvard" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: CTHR) today announced that on November 21, 2024 , it received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires the timely filing of all required periodic reports (the "Listing Rule"), as a result of not having timely filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024 (the "Form 10-Q"), and because the Company remains delinquent in filing its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 (the "Form 10-K"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

The Biden administration on Tuesday moved to end a program that has for decades allowed companies to pay workers with disabilities less than the minimum wage. The statute, enacted as part of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, has let employers obtain certificates from the Labor Department that authorize them to pay workers with disabilities less than the federal minimum wage, currently $7.25. The department began a “comprehensive review” of the program last year, and on Tuesday it proposed a rule that would bar new certificates and phase out current ones over three years. “This proposal would help ensure that workers with disabilities have access to equal employment opportunities, while reinforcing our fundamental belief that all workers deserve fair compensation for their contribution,” Taryn Williams, assistant secretary of labor for disability employment policy, said on a call with reporters. As of May, about 800 employers held certificates allowing them to pay workers less than minimum wage, affecting roughly 40,000 workers, said Kristin Garcia, deputy administrator of the Labor Department’s wage and hour division. Those figures reflect a steep decline in employers’ reliance on the program in recent years: The number of workers with disabilities earning less than the minimum wage dropped to 122,000 in 2019 from 296,000 in 2010, according to a report published last year from the Government Accountability Office. Since 2019, more than half of workers employed under this program earned less than $3.50 an hour, according to the report. Related Story: The Labor Department’s proposed rule, even if it is finalized, faces several hurdles. It is likely to confront legal challenges and could be reversed under the incoming Trump administration. There has been debate about whether the department has authority to alter the program or if that power rests solely with Congress. Many disability rights advocates have pushed for years to end the practice, arguing that it perpetuates economic inequality and prevents those with disabilities from affording basic goods without government assistance or other forms of financial support. Several states have banned or restricted the practice. Certificates allowing employers to pay less than the minimum wage are “inherently based on a deeply flawed, false, ableist notion that disabled workers’ labor and contributions are less valuable than the labor and contributions of their nondisabled peers,” Maria Town, president of the American Association of People With Disabilities, said in a statement. “The ideas on which these certificates are based have no place in our modern society and workforce.” Related Story: Some parents of adults with disabilities, however, have urged for the program to remain in place, raising concern about a potential loss of work opportunities or Social Security benefits. The Coalition for the Preservation of Employment Choice, a group of families, caregivers and others who are pushing for the program to stay in effect, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Labor Department’s proposal. But the group has argued that eliminating the statute would reduce the number and diversity of employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Opportunities for workers with disabilities to obtain employment at the full minimum wage have “dramatically expanded” in recent decades, Garcia said. These changes to the employment landscape factored into the department’s conclusion that issuing certificates for pay below the minimum wage was no longer necessary, she said, adding that the proposed rule would increase purchasing power and independence for workers with disabilities. The department said it would review public comments on the proposal until Jan. 17. — This article originally appeared in . By Danielle Kaye/Ting Shen c.2024 The New York Times Company
