Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? PARIS (AP) — Howling winds couldn’t stop Notre Dame Cathedral ’s heart from beating again. With three resounding knocks on its doors by Paris Archbishop Laurent Ulrich, wielding a specially designed crosier carved from fire-scorched beams, the monument roared back to life Saturday evening. For the first time since a devastating blaze nearly destroyed it in 2019, the towering Gothic masterpiece reopened for worship, its rebirth marked by song, prayer, and awe beneath its soaring arches. The ceremony, initially planned to begin on the forecourt, was moved entirely inside due to unusually fierce December winds sweeping across the Île de la Cité, flanked by the River Seine. Yet the occasion lost none of its splendor. Inside the luminous nave, choirs sang psalms, and the cathedral’s mighty organ, silent for nearly five years, thundered to life in a triumphant interplay of melodies. The restoration, a spectacular achievement in just five years for a structure that took nearly two centuries to build, is seen as a moment of triumph for French President Emmanuel Macron, who championed the ambitious timeline — and a welcome respite from his domestic political woes. The evening’s celebration, attended by 1,500 dignitaries, including President-elect Donald Trump, Britain’s Prince William, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, underscored Notre Dame’s enduring role as both a spiritual and cultural beacon. Observers see the event as Macron’s, and his intention to pivot it into a fully fledged diplomatic gathering, while highlighting France’s ability to unite on the global stage despite internal political crises. Monumental feats of restoration Inside, 42,000 square meters of stonework — an area equal to six soccer pitches — were meticulously cleaned, revealing luminous limestone and intricate carvings. Overhead, 2,000 oak beams, nicknamed “the forest,” were used to rebuild the spire and roof, restoring the cathedral’s iconic silhouette. The thunderous great organ, with 7,952 pipes ranging from pen-sized to torso-wide, resounded for the first time since the fire. Its newly renovated console, boasting five keyboards, 115 stops, and 30 foot pedals, was a marvel of restoration, reawakening a cornerstone of Notre Dame’s identity. Guests gradually filing into the cathedral for the evening reopening ceremonies were awestruck by the renovated interiors, many whipping out cellphones to capture the moment. “It’s a sense of perfection,” said François Le Page of the Notre Dame Foundation, which raised nearly half of the €900 million ($950 million) in donations for the restoration. He last visited in 2021, when the cathedral was cloaked in scaffolding. “It was somber,” he said. “It’s night and day.” The Rev. Andriy Morkvas, a Ukrainian pastor who leads the Volodymyr Le Grand church in Paris, reflected on his first visit to Notre Dame in over a decade. “I didn’t recognize it,” he said. “God is very powerful; He can change things.” He expressed hope that the cathedral’s revival could inspire peace in his homeland, drawing strength from the presence of Ukraine’s president. “I think that will have a big impact,” he said. “I hope Notre Dame and Mary will help us resolve this conflict.” The reopening of Notre Dame comes at a time of profound global unrest, with wars raging in Ukraine and the Middle East. For Catholics, Notre Dame’s rector said the cathedral “carries the enveloping presence of the Virgin Mary, a maternal and embracing presence.′′ “It is a magnificent symbol of unity,” Dumas said. “Notre Dame is not just a French monument—it is a magnificent sign of hope.” The international range of dignitaries coming to Paris underline the cathedral’s significance as a symbol of shared heritage and peace. Canadian visitor Noelle Alexandria, who had traveled to Paris for the reopening, was struck by the cathedral’s ability to inspire. “She’s been nearly ruined before, but she always comes back,” Alexandria said. “Not many of us could say the same after such tragedy, but Notre Dame can.” Historical details enrich the occasion Guests entered through Notre Dame’s iconic western façade, whose arched portals adorned with biblical carvings were once a visual guide for medieval believers. Above the central Portal of the Last Judgment, the Archangel Michael is depicted weighing souls, as demons attempt to tip the scales. These stone figures, designed to inspire both awe and fear, set the stage for a ceremony steeped in history. Inside, the hum of hundreds of guests awaiting the service filled the cathedral with human sounds once more — a stark contrast to the construction din that echoed there for years. Tuners restoring the great organ often worked through the night to find the silence needed to perfect its 7,952 pipes, ranging from pen-sized to torso-wide. Notre Dame echoed to the sound of a sustained standing ovation after the showing of a short movie that documented the gargantuan rebuilding effort. Outside, the word “MERCI” — thank you — was projected against the cathedral’s iconic western facade. The movie showed the terrible wounds left by the inferno — the gaping holes torn into its vaulted ceilings and the burned roof. But that was followed by images of all types of artisans, many using traditional handicraft techniques, who collectively restored Notre Dame to look better now than ever. “We went from night to light,” said one of the workers in the movie. Macron’s political woes The celebration is expected to give a much-needed boost to embattled Macron, whose prime minister was ousted this week, plunging the nation’s politics into more turmoil. The French president, who has called Notre Dame’s reopening “a jolt of hope,” will address the gathering. He had hoped the occasion would briefly silence his critics and showcase France’s unity and resilience under his leadership. Macron’s presidency now faces its gravest crisis after the government’s collapse this week in a historic no-confidence vote that toppled Prime Minister Michel Barnier. The vote followed months of political gridlock after snap elections in June. Calls are now growing louder from opposition forces for Macron to resign. But he vowed Thursday to remain in office until the end of his term in 2027, and said he’ll name a new prime minister within days. As France struggles with economic woes and social unrest, Notre Dame’s rebirth celebrations form a stark contrast. Security is tight for this global event Security will be high through the weekend, echoing measures taken during the Paris Olympics earlier this year. The Île de la Cité — the small island in the River Seine that is home to Notre Dame and the historic heart of Paris— is closed to tourists and non-residents. Police vans and barriers blocked cobblestoned streets in a large perimeter around the island, while soldiers in thick body armor and sniffer dogs patrolled embankments. A special security detail is following Trump. Public viewing areas along the Seine’s southern bank will accommodate 40,000 spectators, who can follow the celebrations on large screens. For many, Notre Dame’s rebirth is not just a French achievement but a global one — after the reopening, the cathedral is set to welcome 15 million visitors annually, up from 12 million before the fire. ___ Sylvie Corbet, Yesica Brumec, Marine Lesprit and Mark Carlson in Paris contributed. ___ Associated Press religion coverage receives support through The AP’s collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

Tijana Martin/The Globe and Mail CI Financial Corp. CIX-T is holding talks with private equity firms about a new investment in the Canadian asset manager, with the potential for a full-blown privatization, according to three sources. U.S. private equity firms have been circling CI as it amasses assets in its U.S. wealth management business, Corient Holdings. The U.S. arm has spent the past four years acquiring registered investment advisor companies, known as RIAs, and lately, private equity firms have paid hefty prices to buy up RIA-aggregators. Recently, CI has held exclusive talks with a group of private equity buyers from the United States, one of the sources said. The Globe and Mail is not identifying the sources because they are not authorized to speak publicly about the deal. CI did not respond to multiple requests for comment from The Globe on Sunday. The talks are still continuing and there is no certainty a deal will be announced, but CI founder and chair Bill Holland has mused in private about public investors not appreciating the worth of the entire company. One source said Mr. Holland has suggested CI should be valued at $10-billion, even though its current market value on the Toronto Stock Exchange is $3.5-billion. The idea of privatizing one of Canada’s oldest money managers is not entirely new – nor is CI taking an investment from private equity backers. In April, 2022, CI chief executive officer Kurt MacAlpine, who had been recruited to run the company in 2019, told analysts that he wanted to divide it into two businesses and file for a stock offering for CI’s U.S. wealth-management arm later that year. He also said he would eventually privatize the Canadian operations through share buybacks. Those plans were derailed because the U.S. stock market kept dropping in value throughout 2022. With an IPO on hold, shareholders, analysts and debt-ratings agencies expressed concerns about the amount of debt CI took on to fund its U.S acquisition strategy. From the end of 2019 to the end of 2022, CI’s net debt – its obligations, offset by its cash on hand – rose to $4.2-billion from $1.4-billion, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. To begin paying down the debt, the company sold a 20-per-cent stake in its U.S. wealth management business in 2023 to a group of institutional investors for $1.34-billion and told investors it was pausing plans to go public. The investors included Bain Capital, Flexpoint Ford, Ares Management, the State of Wisconsin, and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, among others. While stock markets are hot again, the IPO market remains muted and Mr. MacAlpine told analysts earlier this month that any IPO would “probably be sometime in early to mid-2026.” As CI Financial tops $500-billion in assets, investors’ worries ease Given these constraints, private equity options have more merit – especially because these firms have been paying premium valuations for U.S. “RIA consolidators” or those companies that have already acquired a number of smaller RIA firms. In September, Creative Planning – an RIA consolidator based in Overland Park, Kan., with US$375-billion in assets under management – sold a minority stake in its wealth management business to private equity giant TPG Capital. While details of the transaction were not disclosed, CityWire, an industry publication, reported it was about a $2-billion stake that valued Creative Planning at more than $15-billion, or 23 times its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). CI’s U.S EBITDA can be tough to calculate because there are a lot of expenses tied to its continuing acquisitions, but after stripping those out last quarter, the U.S. arm reported roughly $100-million in adjusted EBITDA. If CI sold a stake in its business at 23 times that annualized figure, the division could be valued at $9.2-billion. During an analyst call on Nov. 14, Mr. MacAlpine was asked how Corient, the U.S. arm, compares in terms of margin profile, client mix and geographic reach to Creative Planning. While he said he’d rather not compare the two companies, he said he was “confident” that Corient was the “fastest-growing kind of wealth platform by far,” with very attractive operating margins and growth. In total, CI has more than $518-billion in assets, and nearly half of its assets – $251-billion – are held in Corient, as of Sept. 30. That is up from $197-billion a year prior. Most recently, Corient added another $10-billion in assets with the purchase of San-Francisco-based Ensemble Capital, Florida-based Emerald Multi-Family Office, and North Carolina-based Byron Financial LLC. Those are in addition to two other RIA acquisitions CI completed in May, which added $5.6-billion in assets. CI’s share price has been steadily climbing in recent months – closing at $24.01 on Friday, a 61-per-cent increase year-to-date. Mr. Holland, the chair, is the company’s largest shareholder, owning 8.2 per cent of the company. According to securities filings, Mr. Holland has spent $71.8-million since March, 2020, buying 4,176,500 CI shares in a series of purchases, mostly on the open market. Earlier this year, CI managed to bring its long-term debt down to $3.1-billion, easing some worries from investors. However, S&P and some other analysts consider CI’s 2023 sale of $1.3-billion of preferred stock as debt, not equity. That brings CI’s net debt to $5.6-billion at Sept. 30, S&P figures. If CI reaches a new deal with U.S. buyers, it will have to seek shareholder approval to be taken private. With reports from David Milstead and Andrew Willis.

To be certain, Bitcoin is now mainstream, having evolved from a niche experiment into a globally recognised asset class and technology. Pakistan cannot afford to be left behind in embracing this transformative financial innovation, as doing so risks missing out on significant economic and technological opportunities. The writer is a columnist based in Islamabad. He tweets/posts @saleemfarrukh and can be reached at: farrukh15@hotmail.comIn November 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division (“Antitrust Division” or “Division”) updated its guidance on how it will evaluate Corporate Compliance Programs when conducting criminal antitrust investigations. The updated guidance demonstrates that when the Antitrust Division is evaluating a company’s compliance program as part of its investigation and charging-decision process, it will assess what the company has done to preserve electronic communications, such as ephemeral messages, and steps the company has taken to account for new technologies as well as its use of artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithmic revenue management software when conducting company business. Updating compliance programs in these areas will be helpful for companies seeking to detect and prevent criminal antitrust violations. And should a company become the subject of either a criminal or civil antitrust investigation, evidence that it has developed and implemented policies regarding new communications platforms and protocols concerning the use of AI and algorithmic software will make it easier for a company to effectively argue for credit for a robust and effective compliance program. Such steps may make a meaningful difference in influencing the Antitrust Division when it is making charging decisions. Effective Compliance Programs Should Account for All Forms of Communication The updated guidance indicates that the Antitrust Division will probe whether the company has instituted “clear guidelines regarding the use of ephemeral messaging or non-company methods of communication including the extent to which those communications are permitted and when employees must preserve those communications.” Ephemeral messaging tools allow messages to disappear without a backup or archiving function. The guidance reflects the Antitrust Division’s view that even when employees use personal devices and third-party messaging platforms that have not been formally approved for conducting company business, the Antitrust Division will seek those communications and expect clear guidance from the company to its employees about disclosing and preserving such communications and communication routes. The Antitrust Division will probe the retention and deletion settings that are available to employees, as well as the rationale the company used for establishing its directives. The guidance is consistent with recent updates to the DOJ’s standard preservation letters and subpoenas to include language regarding the preservation of ephemeral messages and other new methods of communications. Companies face clear obstacles in monitoring the actions employees may take when violating company policies regarding ephemeral messaging and non-approved forms of communication to conduct company business. Yet it remains imperative to have clearly articulated policies in place with a sound rationale for the policies that are implemented. When a compliance program addresses these matters and employees are properly trained on the policies, the company can more effectively argue to Division officials that employees who failed to follow clearly stated directives were not acting on behalf of the company. The weight of these arguments will vary depending on the unique circumstances of each case, but having a clearly articulated policy in place will at least provide an avenue to present the argument to Division prosecutors. Compliance Programs Should be Updated to Assess and Address Risk Relating to the Use of AI One of the factors that DOJ prosecutors are instructed to consider when evaluating antitrust compliance programs is how the program handles risk assessment in a variety of categories. The updated guidance states that effective compliance programs must address how a company uses “technology, particularly new technologies such as artificial intelligence” and “algorithmic revenue management software” to conduct business. The DOJ’s guidance follows warnings earlier this year from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission that the use of algorithms to assist in determining prices may violate federal antitrust laws, regardless of the business or industry. Per the recent DOJ guidance, compliance programs should have mechanisms to mitigate risk in the deployment of such technology. At a minimum, these mechanisms should help compliance officers understand how AI and other technology tools are being used for pricing and marketing decisions and what the data inputs include. The risk assessment should evaluate what public, non-public, and non-company data are being used as well as what data the company may be sharing externally through technology. In turn, the compliance program should address how the company can detect and correct, when necessary, decisions made by AI or other technologies that may be problematic. Deploying AI and other innovative technologies without proper safeguards increases the risk of lawsuits from civil litigants alleging antitrust violations based on the use of third-party platforms to share sensitive business information. An effective compliance program will evaluate the use of such platforms or third-party information and will require decision makers to document why certain technologies were adopted for business purposes and how those technologies are pro-competitive. Conclusions and Recommendations In 2019, the Antitrust Division announced a shift in its approach for evaluating compliance programs whereby it would credit effective antitrust compliance programs at both the charging and sentencing stages of its enforcement activities. The updated guidance provides insights on the Division’s priorities when considering credit for compliance programs and direction for companies and their compliance officers on how to reevaluate and improve their corporate compliance infrastructure. A robust antitrust compliance program should address each aspect of compliance as discussed in the Antitrust Division’s “Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs in Criminal Antitrust Investigations. ” Two key areas of compliance program assessment should include an evaluation of communications policies for all employees as well as a deeper analysis of how the company is using AI and other technologies in pursuing its business objectives.The Super Football Conference released its All-Division football teams for the 2024 season.

LONDON — Olivia Hussey, the actor who starred as a teenage Juliet in the 1968 film "Romeo and Juliet," has died, her family said on social media Saturday. She was 73. Hussey died on Friday, "peacefully at home surrounded by her loved ones," a statement posted to her Instagram account said. Hussey was 15 when director Franco Zeffirelli cast her in his adaptation of the William Shakespeare tragedy after spotting her onstage in the play "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie," which also starred Vanessa Redgrave. "Romeo and Juliet" won two Oscars and Hussey won a Golden Globe for best new actress for her part as Juliet, opposite British actor Leonard Whiting, who was 16 at the time. Decades later Hussey and Whiting brought a lawsuit against Paramount Pictures alleging sexual abuse, sexual harassment and fraud over nude scenes in the film. They alleged that they were initially told they would wear flesh-colored undergarments in a bedroom scene, but on the day of the shoot Zeffirelli told the pair they would wear only body makeup and that the camera would be positioned in a way that would not show nudity. They alleged they were filmed in the nude without their knowledge. The case was dismissed by a Los Angeles County judge in 2023, who found their depiction could not be considered child pornography and the pair filed their claim too late. Whiting was among those paying tribute to Hussey on Saturday. "Rest now my beautiful Juliet no injustices can hurt you now. And the world will remember your beauty inside and out forever," he wrote. Hussey was born on April 17, 1951, in Bueno Aires, Argentina, and moved to London as a child. She studied at the Italia Conti Academy drama school. She also starred as Mary, the mother of Jesus, in the 1977 television series "Jesus of Nazareth," as well as the 1978 adaptation of Agatha Christie's "Death on the Nile" and horror movies "Black Christmas" and "Psycho IV: The Beginning." She is survived by her husband, David Glen Eisley, her three children and a grandson. Copyright 2024 NPRFailure in controlling corruption risks Philippine grant from US MCC
