NEW YORK (AP) — Same iconic statue, very different race. With two-way star Travis Hunter of Colorado and Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty leading the field, these certainly aren't your typical Heisman Trophy contenders. Sure, veteran quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel from top-ranked Oregon and Cam Ward of No. 15 Miami are finalists for college football's most prestigious award as well, but the 90th annual ceremony coming up Saturday night at Lincoln Center in New York City offers a fresh flavor this year. To start with, none of the four are from the powerhouse Southeastern Conference, which has produced four of the past five Heisman winners — two each from Alabama and LSU. Jeanty, who played his home games for a Group of Five team on that peculiar blue turf in Idaho more than 2,100 miles from Manhattan, is the first running back even invited to the Heisman party since 2017. After leading the country with 2,497 yards rushing and 29 touchdowns, he joined quarterback Kellen Moore (2010) as the only Boise State players to be named a finalist. “The running back position has been overlooked for a while now," said Jeanty, who plans to enter the 2025 NFL draft. "There's been a lot of great running backs before me that should have been here in New York, so to kind of carry on the legacy of the running back position I think is great. ... I feel as if I'm representing the whole position.” With the votes already in, all four finalists spent Friday conducting interviews and sightseeing in the Big Apple. They were given custom, commemorative watches to mark their achievement. “I'm not a watch guy, but I like it,” said Hunter, flashing a smile. The players also took photos beneath the massive billboards in Times Square and later posed with the famous Heisman Trophy, handed out since 1935 to the nation's most outstanding performer. Hunter, the heavy favorite, made sure not to touch it yet. A dominant player on both offense and defense who rarely comes off the field, the wide receiver/cornerback is a throwback to generations gone by and the first full-time, true two-way star in decades. On offense, he had 92 catches for 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns this season to help the 20th-ranked Buffaloes (9-3) earn their first bowl bid in four years. On defense, he made four interceptions, broke up 11 passes and forced a critical fumble that secured an overtime victory against Baylor. Hunter played 688 defensive snaps and 672 more on offense — the only Power Four conference player with 30-plus snaps on both sides of the ball, according to Colorado research. Call him college football’s answer to baseball unicorn Shohei Ohtani. “I think I laid the ground for more people to come in and go two ways,” Hunter said. “It starts with your mindset. If you believe you can do it, then you'll be able to do it. And also, I do a lot of treatment. I keep up with my body. I get a lot of recovery.” Hunter is Colorado's first Heisman finalist in 30 years. The junior from Suwanee, Georgia, followed flashy coach Deion Sanders from Jackson State, an HBCU that plays in the lower level FCS, to the Rocky Mountains and has already racked up a staggering combination of accolades this week, including The Associated Press player of the year. Hunter also won the Walter Camp Award as national player of the year, along with the Chuck Bednarik Award as the top defensive player and the Biletnikoff Award for best wide receiver. “It just goes to show that I did what I had to do,” Hunter said. Next, he'd like to polish off his impressive hardware collection by becoming the second Heisman Trophy recipient in Buffaloes history, after late running back Rashaan Salaam in 1994. “I worked so hard for this moment, so securing the Heisman definitely would set my legacy in college football,” Hunter said. “Being here now is like a dream come true.” Jeanty carried No. 8 Boise State (12-1) to a Mountain West Conference championship that landed the Broncos the third seed in this year's College Football Playoff. They have a first-round bye before facing the SMU-Penn State winner in the Fiesta Bowl quarterfinal on New Year’s Eve. The 5-foot-9, 215-pound junior from Jacksonville, Florida, won the Maxwell Award as college football’s top player and the Doak Walker Award for best running back. Jeanty has five touchdown runs of at least 70 yards and has rushed for the fourth-most yards in a season in FBS history — topping the total of 115 teams this year. He needs 132 yards to break the FBS record set by Heisman Trophy winner Barry Sanders at Oklahoma State in 1988. In a pass-happy era, however, Jeanty is trying to become the first running back to win the Heisman Trophy since Derrick Henry for Alabama nine years ago. In fact, quarterbacks have snagged the prize all but four times this century. Gabriel, an Oklahoma transfer, led Oregon (13-0) to a Big Ten title in its first season in the league and the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff. The steady senior from Hawaii passed for 3,558 yards and 28 touchdowns with six interceptions. His 73.2% completion rate ranks second in the nation, and he's attempting to join quarterback Marcus Mariota (2014) as Ducks players to win the Heisman Trophy. “I think all the memories start to roll back in your mind,” Gabriel said. Ward threw for 4,123 yards and led the nation with a school-record 36 touchdown passes for the high-scoring Hurricanes (10-2) after transferring from Washington State. The senior from West Columbia, Texas, won the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback of the Year award and is looking to join QBs Vinny Testaverde (1986) and Gino Torretta (1992) as Miami players to go home with the Heisman. “I just think there's a recklessness that you have to play with at the quarterback position,” Ward said.

Sydney School-style home sells under the hammer; Melbourne home sells for second time this year
By DAVID BAUDER Time magazine gave Donald Trump something it has never done for a Person of the Year designee: a lengthy fact-check of claims he made in an accompanying interview. Related Articles National Politics | Trump’s lawyers rebuff DA’s idea for upholding his hush money conviction, calling it ‘absurd’ National Politics | Trump wants to turn the clock on daylight saving time National Politics | Ruling by a conservative Supreme Court could help blue states resist Trump policies National Politics | A nonprofit leader, a social worker: Here are the stories of the people on Biden’s clemency list National Politics | Nancy Pelosi hospitalized after she ‘sustained an injury’ on official trip to Luxembourg The fact-check accompanies a transcript of what the president-elect told the newsmagazine’s journalists. Described as a “12 minute read,” it calls into question 15 separate statements that Trump made. It was the second time Trump earned the Time accolade; he also won in 2016, the first year he was elected president. Time editors said it wasn’t a particularly hard choice over other finalists Kamala Harris, Elon Musk, Benjamin Netanyahu and Kate Middleton. Time said Friday that no other Person of the Year has been fact-checked in the near-century that the magazine has annually written about the figure that has had the greatest impact on the news. But it has done the same for past interviews with the likes of Joe Biden, Netanyahu and Trump. Such corrections have been a sticking point for Trump and his team in the past, most notably when ABC News did it during his only debate with Democrat Kamala Harris this fall. There was no immediate response to a request for comment on Friday. In the piece, Time called into question statements Trump made about border security, autism and the size of a crowd at one of his rallies. When the president-elect talked about the “massive” mandate he had received from voters, Time pointed out that former President Barack Obama won more electoral votes the two times he had run for president. The magazine also questioned Trump’s claim that he would do interviews with anyone who asked during the campaign, if he had the time. The candidate rejected a request to speak to CBS’ “60 Minutes,” the magazine said. “In the final months of his campaign, Trump prioritized interviews with podcasts over mainstream media,” reporters Simmone Shah and Leslie Dickstein wrote.

The Product is indicated for enhancing visualization of colorectal lesions in adult patients undergoing screening or surveillance colonoscopies. Lumeblue® is an oral diagnostic drug that uses patented multi-matrix (MMXTM) technology to deliver active substances directly to the colon and release them locally in a controlled manner. As an enhancer dye, the Product increases the contrast between colorectal lesions and healthy mucosa. The results of the Phase III clinical trial in China show that the Product can significantly improve the detection rate of non-polypoid colorectal lesions (the primary endpoint of the study), leading to an improved detection rate of dangerous lesions such as non-polypoid adenomas (the secondary endpoint)[1]. In addition, the Product can be taken during the bowel preparation step, ensuring that colorectal staining is completed by the time colonoscopy is conducted. This not only enhances the detection rate of colorectal lesions but also potentially simplifies the colonoscopy procedure, making the examination more efficient and improving the screening benefits. According to the diagnosis and treatment data of the Digestive Endoscopy Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, approximately a total of 28 million gastroenteroscopies were completed nationwide in 2012, including 5.83 million colonoscopies. In 2019, approximately 38.73 million gastroenteroscopies were completed nationwide, an increase of 34.62% compared with 2012[2]. The Expert consensus on the early diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer in China (2023 edition) recommends colorectal cancer screening for individuals aged 40 to 74[3]. Based on the China Statistical Yearbook (2023), the total population of this age group in China is 643.36 million[4]. With the popularization of early colorectal cancer screening in China, the number of colonoscopies performed is expected to have significant growth potential in the future. Early diagnosis and removal of lesions are crucial for prevention. Lumeblue® provides an innovative solution for colorectal disease screening and management in response to this growing demand. The Product has been approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to be commercialized in the European Union under the trade name Lumeblue® in August 2020. The Group obtained an exclusive license for the Product from Cosmo Technologies Ltd., a fully-owned subsidiary of Cosmo Pharmaceuticals NV, on 3 December 2020. Following its approval in China in June 2024, CMS worked collaboratively across its business segments to ensure the rapid importation of the first batch of products. The Group has also actively leveraged its existing gastroenterology portfolio and resources to orderly advance the commercialization and academic promotion of Lumeblue®, facilitating its successful prescriptions launch in China. With this milestone, CMS's five innovative drugs have been successfully approved in China and fully entered clinical application. This achievement demonstrates the Group's ongoing capability of innovation transformation, while reflecting CMS's commitment to focusing on medical value and fulfilling its corporate social responsibility.

'Tension point': Report says 'granola Republicans' sparking GOP identity crisisThe gravel highway leading east from Hay River, Northwest Territories, features a relatively uniform (some might say monotonous) landscape of flat, spruce and jack pine forest. About 40 kilometers outside of the highway’s terminus at Fort Resolution, a few rock piles near the side of the highway stand out in bold relief. A quick left turn on an unmarked paved road, and one enters a grid of streets, sidewalks, and parking lots — but there are no buildings anywhere. Travel around the site, and it is not hard to stumble on one of the many large open pits that have filled with water, often coloured a brilliant azure blue. Brown grass covering abandoned fairways is all that remains of a nine-hole golf course. Although you might see the odd person, the site is completely abandoned, an industrial ruin that is a mere shadow of what was here before. From 1964 to 1988, the Pine Point lead-zinc mine operated on the site, one of the biggest and most important mineral developments in the Northwest Territories. Located on the south shore of Great Slave Lake, prospectors surveyed the site as early as 1898, but development only accelerated 50 years later, when the Canadian government granted Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company (CM&S) a 1295-km2 concession at Pine Point with exclusive exploration rights. At the time, the government regarded Pine Point as the centrepiece of its northern development program, eventually offering nearly $100 million dollars to help build a railway, highway, and hydro dam to kickstart the mine. To house the mine’s large workforce, the government and CM&S envisioned an orderly, planned town, that would be neither a hardscrabble camp nor a company-owned settlement. Instead, the government and industry would create an idyllic, suburban-style town, with high quality housing, top-notch schools, and ample recreational opportunities. Pine Point might lack the local colour of the frontier mining town, but its designers gladly traded saloons and dance halls for a stable, family-oriented town that would retain workers in a relatively remote location. The plan worked out spectacularly well. The 1200 to 1500 people who lived in Pine Point at any given time remember it as an idyllic town, so much so that an active online community of Pine Pointers has kept the town “alive” on the internet, posting photos and memorabilia to the “Pine Point Revisited” website organized by local legend Richard Cloutier, who sadly passed away in 2021. Inspired by Cloutier, media artists Paul Shoebridge and Michael Simons created a web-based interactive documentary, “Welcome to Pine Point,” that mixes photos, videos, and residents’ memories to create a nostalgic reverie for Pine Point. One former resident summed up the prevailing sentiment: “Looking in, it is hard not to think that it was a great time to be alive and up north, in a time before seatbelts and sunscreen, when you could still pull block-long wheelies without fear of judgement or consequences.” The photographs and film footage show a modern town with exceptional recreational opportunities: baseball, organized basketball, the aforementioned golf course, a curling rink, outstanding fishing, and an arena (the documentary features remarkable footage of an ice dance performance of The Wizard of Oz ). As one scrolls through “Welcome to Pine Point,” it is hard to disagree with one resident’s statement that, “most Pine Pointers think their hometown was the best place on earth to have lived.” The nearby Dene community of Fort Resolution has a somewhat more mixed recollection of Pine Point. When I participated in an oral history project about Pine Point in 2009, many in the community expressed frustration that the highway to the mine was not extended to their community until 1972, making it difficult to access employment at the mine. Others noted the lasting impact of pits, haul roads, seismic lines, and the tailings ponds on hunting and trapping activities in the Pine Point area, recalling the many ways the mine had changed the land-based culture of the Fort Resolution Dene. Despite these issues, residents of Fort Resolution who moved to Pine Point were almost unanimous in their praise for the town. Many said it had the best of the best of everything, and that they would move back “in a second” if it were ever re-built. While some remembered isolated incidents of racism, most testified to the remarkable social harmony in the town, and the fact that everybody looked out for one another. Some said it was hard to move back to Fort Resolution (a smaller town with more limited services) after the mine closed. When the mine did finally close in 1988, the company either flattened or moved all the industrial and residential buildings, leaving the ghost town that remains today. While some of the houses and other buildings could be moved elsewhere (the arena ended up in Fort Resolution, for instance), a major reason for dismantling the town was so squatters would not drift in and inhabit what was no longer an official town. For many Pine Pointers, the fact the town no longer exists accentuates the fond memories. Their former home is frozen in memory at its absolute best. As a place that has been wiped off the map, it can never change for the worse. According to many former residents, demolishing the town was better than witnessing its slow decline. For all the successes at Pine Point, the heyday of family-oriented mining towns was coming to an end by the early 1980s. The last incorporated town built specifically to support a mine was Tumbler Ridge, B.C., incorporated in 1981. Canadian mining companies have largely turned to flying workers in and out of well-serviced camps. What is lost with such arrangements is the community cohesion and the strong bond between people and place that occurs in mining towns such as Pine Point.

Texas A&M (8-2) led by as many as 11 points in the first half and by three at halftime before the Red Raiders surged to the front early in the second half. Down 52-49, the Aggies produced an 11-0 surge capped by a jumper by Zhuric Phelps to take a 60-52 advantage with 5:02 to play The Aggies' margin was just two points when Taylor went hard to the hole on back-to-back possessions for layups that pushed the lead to 64-58. A 3-pointer by Tech's Chance McMillian cut lead to three but Taylor, Henry Coleman III and Solomon Washington converted free throws over the final 27 seconds to provide the deciding points for A&M. Jace Carter added 16 points and Phelps had 12 for the Aggies, who have won four straight games. McMillian's 23 points were a game high, while Kevin Overton added 17 and Darrion Williams had 11 for Texas Tech (7-2), which had a three-game winning streak snapped. The Aggies ruled the game's first five minutes, blitzing to a 13-2 lead thanks to eight early points from Taylor and a stifling defense that forced Tech into four turnovers. The Red Raiders responded with an 8-2 run capped by a jumper by Federiko Federiko to close the gap to five points at the 10:57 mark.

The Aggies swung back, tying the contest at 49 when Washington sank a 3-pointer with 10:48 left, setting the stage for the furious finish. --Field Level Media
ICEYE expands its Earth Observation capabilities with launch of two SAR satellites for mid-inclination orbit on the Bandwagon-2 mission with SpaceXWith less than a month remaining in this year, it's fair to say that 2024 has been great for the stock market. The S&P 500 index, which is often treated as the benchmark for broader market performance, has risen roughly 28% year to date. Meanwhile, the more growth-focused Nasdaq Composite index has seen its level rise 31.5% over the period. Nvidia , Palantir , Microsoft , and other big winners may continue to march higher and help set records for major indexes, but investors may also want to consider stocks that still trade down big from previous valuation highs. With that in mind, read on to see why two Motley Fool contributors think that buying these stocks right now would be a smart year-end move. This industry leader is back to beating the market Jennifer Saibil : Shares of Carnival ( CCL 0.60% ) are up 44% this year after more than doubling last year. So investors might be surprised to learn that this top stock, which seems to have rebounded, is still 63% off its all-time highs. The business itself is doing great, with sales completed back and growing, and demand at unprecedented levels. In the 2024 fiscal third quarter (ended Aug. 31), revenue increased from $6.9 billion to $7.9 billion year over year. Nearly half of 2025 inventory was already booked as of the end of September, and it's also in its best-ever booked position for 2026. Profitability still isn't where it used to be, which was reliable and growing. Today, it's still returning. But as demand stays strong, the profitability metrics are healthy. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) increased 25% over last year to $2.8 billion in the third quarter, and operating income improved by $554 million from last year to $2.2 billion. Net income was positive in the quarter at $1.7 billion, although Carnival hasn't returned to consistently positive net income -- yet. So what's the problem? The main issue for investors is Carnival's massive debt, which it took on when cruises weren't running. Although management is paying it off steadily, it's still highly elevated at $29 billion as of the end of the third quarter. Carnival stock soared on the news of interest rates being cut, because that will help it pay off the debt faster. Another worry is that demand will eventually slow down, and Carnival's performance could look choppy before it stabilizes to normal levels. But investors should focus on the long term. There could indeed be choppiness, but first of all, high demand is outpacing what the market might have envisioned. It has remained elevated throughout inflation and high interest rates, which would normally be headwinds for a company that sells expensive luxury products. It's now well positioned to maintain strong demand as economic conditions ease up, and the choppiness may end up being minimal. And investors shouldn't expect linear growth from any investment. That's just a setup for disappointment, because it's rare. You want to focus on the long-term health of an organization and how management is running it. Carnival has a long track record as an industry leader, and it's already going back to being a market-beating stock.

The company's share price is down 58% over the stretch, and intense sell-offs have now pushed the stock down 72% from its lifetime high. Intel's business is facing challenges on key fronts. The company's chip-design unit has been losing ground to rival providers of central processing units (CPUs) including Advanced Micro Devices and Arm Holdings in the PC and server markets, and the dominance of Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) in AI training has meant that Intel has missed out on the early innings of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. Making matters worse, the push to leverage its chip-manufacturing capabilities to meet emerging semiconductor fabrication needs has been costly. It has yet to show that it can compete with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing , the far-and-away leader in fab services, and expenses will continue to be high as the challenger aims to improve yield quality and production capacity. On the heels of these challenges, Pat Gelsinger recently announced that he had stepped down as the company's CEO. The move added another layer of uncertainty to Intel's outlook, and investors and analysts are now trying to determine whether the company will move to divest its fabrication business or continue to operate as a combined unit. INTC PS ratio (forward); data by YCharts. Following intense sell-offs this year, Intel's forward price-to-sales ratio (P/S) has been pushed down to roughly 1.7 -- a level that's low on a historical basis. While profitability headwinds have pushed the company's forward earnings multiple up to approximately 53, I think there's significant value waiting to be unlocked with the stock. Attempting to guess exactly what moves the company will make with its structure, growth bets, and potential spin-offs isn't central to my bull thesis. Instead, I see a beaten-down stock and a company that still possesses incredibly valuable strategic resources. Advanced chip design and fabrication capabilities have never been more important from economic and national defense perspectives, and Intel has enough competitive footing in both categories to deliver wins for shareholders in multiple scenarios.
Savannah Guthrie introduces new family member – see the adorable announcement hereSEOUL, South Korea — South Korea's embattled President Yoon Suk Yeol avoided an opposition-led attempt to impeach him over his short-lived imposition of martial law , as most ruling party lawmakers boycotted a parliamentary vote Saturday to deny a two-thirds majority needed to suspend his presidential powers. The scrapping of the motion is expected to intensify public protests calling for Yoon’s ouster and deepen political chaos in South Korea, with a survey suggesting a majority of South Koreans support the president’s impeachment. Yoon’s martial law declaration drew criticism from his own ruling conservative People Power Party, but it is also determined to oppose Yoon’s impeachment apparently because it fears losing the presidency to liberals. After the motion fell through, members of the main liberal opposition Democratic Party rallied inside the National Assembly, chanting slogans calling for Yoon's impeachment or resignation. The party's floor leader, Park Chan-dae, said it will soon prepare for a new impeachment motion. “We'll surely impeach Yoon Suk Yeol, who is the greatest risk to Republic of Korea,” party leader Lee Jae-myung said. “We'll surely bring back this country to normal before Christmas Day or year's end.” Despite escaping the impeachment attempt, many experts worry Yoon won’t be able to serve out his remaining 2 1⁄2 years in office. They say some ruling party lawmakers could eventually join opposition parties’ efforts to impeach Yoon if public demands for it grow further. On Saturday, tens of thousands of people densely packed several blocks of roads leading up to the National Assembly, waving banners, shouting slogans and dancing. Protesters also gathered in front of PPP’s headquarters near the Assembly, angrily shouting for its lawmakers to vote to impeach Yoon. A smaller crowd of Yoon’s supporters, which still seemed to be in the thousands, rallied in separate streets in Seoul, decrying the impeachment attempt they saw as unconstitutional. Impeaching Yoon required support from two-thirds of the National Assembly, or 200 of its 300 members. The Democratic Party and five other small opposition parties, which filed the motion, have 192 seats combined. But only three lawmakers from PPP participated in the vote. The motion was scrapped without ballot counting because the number of votes didn’t reach 200. National Assembly Speaker Woo Won Shik called the result “very regrettable” and an embarrassing moment for the country’s democracy that has been closely watched by the world. “The failure to hold a qualified vote on this matter means we were not even able to exercise the democratic procedure of deciding on a critical national issue,” he said. Opposition parties could submit a new impeachment motion after a new parliamentary session opens next Wednesday. If Yoon is impeached, his powers will be suspended until the Constitutional Court decides whether to remove him from office. If he is removed, an election to replace him must take place within 60 days. Earlier Saturday, Yoon issued a public apology over the martial law decree, saying he won’t shirk legal or political responsibility for the declaration and promising not to make another attempt to impose martial law. He said would leave it to his party to chart a course through the country’s political turmoil, “including matters related to my term in office.” “The declaration of this martial law was made out of my desperation. But in the course of its implementation, it caused anxiety and inconveniences to the public. I feel very sorry over that and truly apologize to the people who must have been shocked a lot,” Yoon said. Since taking office in 2022, Yoon has struggled to push his agenda through an opposition-controlled parliament and grappled with low approval ratings amid scandals involving himself and his wife. In his martial law announcement on Tuesday night, Yoon called parliament a “den of criminals” bogging down state affairs and vowed to eliminate “shameless North Korea followers and anti-state forces.” The turmoil resulting from Yoon’s bizarre and poorly-thought-out stunt has paralyzed South Korean politics and sparked alarm among key diplomatic partners like the U.S. and Japan. Tuesday night saw special forces troops encircling the parliament building and army helicopters hovering over it, but the military withdrew after the National Assembly unanimously voted to overturn the decree, forcing Yoon to lift it before daybreak Wednesday. The declaration of martial law was the first of its kind in more than 40 years in South Korea. Eighteen lawmakers from the ruling party voted to reject Yoon’s martial law decree along with opposition lawmakers. PPP later decided to oppose Yoon's impeachment motion. Yoon’s speech fueled speculation that he and his party may push for a constitutional amendment to shorten his term, instead of accepting impeachment, as a way to ease public anger over the marital law and facilitate Yoon’s early exit from office. Lee told reporters that Yoon’s speech was “greatly disappointing” and that the only way forward is his immediate resignation or impeachment. His party called Yoon’s martial law “unconstitutional, illegal rebellion or coup.” Lawmakers on Saturday first voted on a bill appointing a special prosecutor to investigate stock price manipulation allegations surrounding Yoon’s wife. Some lawmakers from Yoon’s party were seen leaving the hall after that vote, triggering angry shouts from opposition lawmakers. On Friday, PPP chair Han Dong-hun, who criticized Yoon’s martial law declaration, said he had received intelligence that during the brief period of martial law Yoon ordered the country’s defense counterintelligence commander to arrest and detain unspecified key politicians based on accusations of “anti-state activities.” Hong Jang-won, first deputy director of South Korea’s National Intelligence Service, told lawmakers in a closed-door briefing Friday that Yoon had ordered him to help the defense counterintelligence unit to detain key politicians. The targeted politicians included Han, Lee and Woo, according to Kim Byung-kee, one of the lawmakers who attended the meeting. The Defense Ministry said Friday it suspended three military commanders including the head of the defense counterintelligence unit over their involvement in enforcing martial law. Vice Defense Minister Kim Seon Ho has told parliament that Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun ordered the deployment of troops to the National Assembly after Yoon imposed martial law. Opposition parties accused Kim of recommending to Yoon to enforce martial law. Kim resigned Thursday, and prosecutors imposed an overseas travel ban on him.

The young Canaries' three-game unbeaten streak came grinding to a halt after recent wins over Aston Villa and PSV Eindhoven, a lacklustre display meaning defeat in their final Premier League 2 game of 2024. Lee was open about his irritation with the display post-match, admitting that he'd lose sleep over it. "Really disappointing night, really frustrating night," he told the Pink Un. "We've had a good last week, and the challenge was for the boys to make it three wins out of three. "Unfortunately that wasn't to be, so we're disappointed with tonight's work. This is football and that's what happens. We thought we'd got the boys in a good spot, and my challenge to them was to keep pushing and getting better. "I think it was just a poor performance for whatever reason. That's for us to go and have a sleepless night and try to figure out with the boys tomorrow. It's a really frustrating one, and this one hurts. "[Against Boro] we had a knockback, so we've got to be ready to go again tomorrow and kick on again after that." Boro took only a slender lead into half time, Law McCabe's goal the difference after a tense 45 minutes. The City boss still believed in his charges at that point, but didn't see the reaction he wanted. "What makes it frustrating is that we had some good moments in the first half," he continued. "We went in at half time 1-0 down and disappointed, but I thought we were going to come out and win to be honest. "Then the second half was really poor. We just huffed and puffed, and we let the frustration of the game affect our decision-making. Some of the decision-making at times was quite poor."President Javier Milei has said that the Senate session in which Edgardo Kueider was expelled over corruption allegations was void because his vice, Victoria Villarruel, led the session while acting as president of the nation. Milei traveled to Italy on Thursday, leaving Villarruel as acting president, but she has responded publicly that she was not formally transferred the presidential power until after the session had ended. The episode underscores the increasingly public rift between the president and his second-in-command. “The session is invalid,” Milei said on Friday during an interview with Luis Majul on radio station El Observador. On Thursday, the Upper House voted to expel Senator Edgardo Kueider from Congress after he was arrested in Paraguay with over US$200,000 of undeclared cash while crossing the border from Brazil. Kueider was a Peronist lawmaker, but voted for Milei’s flagship bill, the Ley Bases. Like Milei, his lawyer said the session was null and filed a writ for Kueider to be reinstated. In Argentina, the Vice President is also head of the senate. However, Milei argued that Villarruel should not have presided over the session because he was in Rome and she should have been the acting president, not the head of the Senate. Milei said that, according to current legislation, the vice president “automatically” acts as president if the president travels overseas. That role is then occupied by the provisional spokesperson of the Senate, who is currently Bartolomé Abdala. “If she presides over the session of the Congress, she is working in the Legislative Branch, but at the same time, she is the acting president of the nation [...,] she is occupying two positions, and that violates the separation of powers,” he said. Villarruel responded that the temporary transfer of power did not take effect until it had been formally signed off. “Until the power of attorney [to be President] is transferred to me, I am vice president. And that is done through the presidency’s notary. I signed the minutes giving my consent at 7:00 p.m.,” Villarruel wrote, answering a comment on her Instagram account. Screenshots of what appears to be a chat with Villarruel’s secretary were published by various news websites. They show a conversation timestamped 8:36 a.m. on Tuesday, stating the president’s time of departure and arrival. The secretary responds “OK” to the messages. The chats also show a letter notifying Villarruel of Milei’s trip through the Electronic Document Management System (GDE, by its Spanish acronym), which stores all proceedings and files within the public administration. Milei mentioned the letter in his interview. A spokesperson for Villarruel told the Herald that Villarruel was not aware of the trip, that the Legislative Branch does not use the GDE, and that the vice president does not have a username for the system in the Senate building. Milei’s trip to Italy, although not his departure time, had been reported by media including the Herald over a week before he departed. The relationship between Milei and Villarruel has been strained for months, with the president calling her part of the “caste” and leaving her off the guestlist for government events. She was not present for Milei’s first anniversary speech celebrating one year in power. “I would have loved to be there,” Villarruel wrote in a comment on her Instagram account. Villarruel lamented that Kueider was expelled from the Congress, implying that she does not consider him a member of the Peronist bloc. Since Kueider entered Congress on a Peronist ticket, his seat will now be granted to Stefania Cora, who is associated with Maximo Kirchner’s organization La Cámpora. “We are going to work until our last breath so that the [Kirchners] no longer manage the designs of our country,” Villarruel wrote on X. Meanwhile, Kueider is currently being investigated in Paraguay for attempted smuggling. Peronist senator Oscar Parrilli, social democrat deputy Margarita Stolbizer, and left-wing former deputy Myriam Bregman have suggested that Kueider was smuggling money from a government bribe to vote for the Ley Bases. Investigators have not reached any formal conclusions about the origin of the funds. Bregman’s party, the Party of the Socialist Workers (PTS) demanded that the Ley Bases be declared void. The vote on the controversial bill was tied in Argentina’s senate, with Villarruel casting the deciding vote in favor of the government.By Girish Linganna Donald Trump’s re-election as U.S. President could have a big impact on India-US relations, especially in areas like technology, chips, and semiconductors. As he begins his second term on January 20 next year ,, both countries will face a mix of opportunities and challenges that could shape their tech and economic ties in new ways. In recent years, semiconductors have become a key part of the global economy and a major area of focus for many countries. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed weaknesses in the global supply chain, showing how heavily the world depends on a few producers. This has pushed countries to reduce their reliance on others and invest more in making semiconductors locally. Trump’s government has strongly advocated for reducing dependence on Chinese manufacturing and encouraged shifting supply chains to friendly countries, a strategy called “friend-shoring.” This approach fits well with India’s “Make in India” program, which aims to turn the country into a global center for manufacturing. India is working hard to grow its semiconductor industry by introducing policies and incentives to attract investments. The goal is to create a strong foundation for semiconductor production and development in the country. The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme has played a big role in boosting manufacturing in India. It provides financial rewards to companies that start production units in the country. For example, companies like Dixon Technologies are now important players, making smartphones and computers for global brands under this program. This progress is likely to grow even more with increased focus on India-US cooperation in the semiconductor industry. Trump’s re-election creates both opportunities and challenges for the semiconductor industry. While his focus on making the economy more self-reliant sounds promising, it could also mean new tariffs and trade restrictions, which might make global business more complicated. During his campaign, Trump suggested adding high taxes, like a 25% tariff, on products imported from countries like Canada and Mexico. These measures could increase the costs of making semiconductors since the industry depends on parts and materials from around the world. However, this also gives India a chance to step up as a good option for semiconductor manufacturing. With its skilled workers and investor-friendly policies, India could attract more businesses in this sector. The Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technologies (iCET), started in January 2023, has become a key part of India-US partnership in advanced technology areas. The second iCET Summit, held in July 2024, showcased the progress achieved in semiconductors, clean energy, and advanced technologies. Both countries have agreed to strengthen their partnership by focusing on sharing technology, working together on research and development, and building systems that support innovation. This initiative is set to play an important role in shaping the future of India-US partnerships in advanced technology. In the coming years, an important area to watch will be how the semiconductor supply chain develops. For a long time, a few major companies have controlled the industry, with Taiwan’s TSMC being a global leader in chip manufacturing. But the global situation is changing, and countries like India and Japan are becoming key players in the semiconductor supply chain. TSMC is working to localize its supply chain and grow its presence in the US and Japan, showing how the industry is shifting. The company’s choice to work with Asian suppliers like Taiwan’s Kinik and Japan’s Ebara for important manufacturing solutions highlights the increasing importance of regional partnerships in the semiconductor industry. India is making early efforts to develop its own Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) industry, which is worth noting. Government subsidies and incentives have encouraged companies like Dixon Technologies to set up operations. Dixon now produces smartphones for brands like Motorola and Xiaomi, as well as PCs for companies like Acer and Lenovo. These efforts are part of a larger plan to build a self-sufficient semiconductor industry in India. The goal is to rely less on imports and strengthen the country’s ability to produce semiconductors locally. Trump’s re-election brings uncertainty about the future of the US CHIPS and Science Act. This act is designed to promote semiconductor manufacturing in the US by offering large investments and incentives. Trump’s criticism of the Act and his plans for new tariffs could create challenges for the semiconductor industry. However, this also gives India a chance to become a stronger partner for the US in advanced technology fields. India can attract investments and encourage partnerships by aligning its policies with the US’s friend-shoring approach, helping to boost innovation and growth. In summary, Donald Trump’s second term as US President is likely to significantly influence India-US relations, especially in the areas of technology, chips, and semiconductors. Although there are some challenges and uncertainties, there are also great opportunities for collaboration and growth. Both countries can use their strengths to create a strong and innovative semiconductor industry that supports their economies and strengthens their partnership. As the global semiconductor industry keeps changing, India and the US are in a good position to adapt to these shifts and work together to reach their common goals. ( IPA Service )
