Abortion has become slightly more common despite bans or deep restrictions in most Republican-controlled states, and the legal and political fights over its future are not over yet. It’s now been two and a half years since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and opened the door for states to implement bans. The policies and their impact have been in flux ever since the ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Here’s a look at data on where things stand: Overturning Roe and enforcing abortion bans has changed how woman obtain abortions in the U.S. But one thing it hasn’t done is put a dent in the number of abortions being obtained. There have been slightly more monthly abortions across the country recently than there were in the months leading up to the June 2022 ruling, even as the number in states with bans dropped to near zero. “Abortion bans don’t actually prevent abortions from happening,” said Ushma Upadhyay, a public health social scientist at the University of California San Francisco. But, she said, they do change care. For women in some states, there are major obstacles to getting abortions — and advocates say that low-income, minority and immigrant women are least likely to be able to get them when they want. For those living in states with bans, the ways to access abortion are through travel or abortion pills. As the bans swept in, abortion pills became a bigger part of the equation. They were involved in about half the abortions before Dobbs. More recently, it’s been closer to two-thirds of them, according to research by the Guttmacher Institute. The uptick of that kind of abortion, usually involving a combination of two drugs, was underway before the ruling. But now, it’s become more common for pill prescriptions to be made by telehealth. By the summer of 2024, about 1 in 10 abortions was via pills prescribed via telehealth to patients in states where abortion is banned. As a result, the pills are now at the center of battles over abortion access. This month, Texas sued a New York doctor for prescribing pills to a Texas woman via telemedicine. There’s also an effort by Idaho, Kansas and Missouri to roll back their federal approvals and treat them as “controlled dangerous substances,” and a push for the federal government to start enforcing a 19th-century federal law to ban mailing them. Clinics have closed or halted abortions in states with bans. But a network of efforts to get women seeking abortions to places where they’re legal has strengthened and travel for abortion is now common. The Guttmacher Institute found that more than twice as many Texas residents obtained abortion in 2023 in New Mexico as New Mexico residents did. And as many Texans received them in Kansas as Kansans. Abortion funds, which benefitted from “rage giving” in 2022, have helped pay the costs for many abortion-seekers. But some funds have had to cap how much they can give. Since the downfall of Roe, the actions of lawmakers and courts have kept shifting where abortion is legal and under what conditions. Here’s where it stands now: Florida, the nation’s third most-populous state, began enforcing a ban on abortions after the first six weeks of pregnancy on May 1. That immediately changed the state from one that was a refuge for other Southerners seeking abortion to an exporter of people looking for them. There were about 30% fewer abortions there in May compared with the average for the first three months of the year. And in June, there were 35% fewer. While the ban is not unique, the impact is especially large. The average driving time from Florida to a facility in North Carolina where abortion is available for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy is more than nine hours, according to data maintained by Caitlin Myers, a Middlebury College economics professor. The bans have meant clinics closed or stopped offering abortions in some states. But some states where abortion remains legal until viability – generally considered to be sometime past 21 weeks of pregnancy, though there’s no fixed time for it – have seen clinics open and expand. Illinois, Kansas and New Mexico are among the states with new clinics. There were 799 publicly identifiable abortion providers in the U.S. in May 2022, the month before the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade. And by this November, it was 792, according to a tally by Myers, who is collecting data on abortion providers. But Myers says some hospitals that always provided some abortions have begun advertising it. So they’re now in the count of clinics – even though they might provide few of them. How hospitals handle pregnancy complications, especially those that threaten the lives of the women, has emerged as a major issue since Roe was overturned. President Joe Biden’s administration says hospitals must offer abortions when they’re needed to prevent organ loss, hemorrhage or deadly infections, even in states with bans. Texas is challenging the administration’s policy and the U.S. Supreme Court this year declined to take it up after the Biden administration sued Idaho. More than 100 pregnant women seeking help in emergency rooms and were turned away or left unstable since 2022, The Associated Press found in an analysis of federal hospital investigative records. Among the complaints were a woman who miscarried in the lobby restroom of Texas emergency room after staff refused to see her and a woman who gave birth in a car after a North Carolina hospital couldn’t offer an ultrasound. The baby later died. “It is increasingly less safe to be pregnant and seeking emergency care in an emergency department,” Dara Kass, an emergency medicine doctor and former U.S. Health and Human Services official told the AP earlier this year. Since Roe was overturned, there have been 18 reproductive rights-related statewide ballot questions. Abortion rights advocates have prevailed on 14 of them and lost on four. In the 2024 election, they amended the constitutions in five states to add the right to abortion. Such measures failed in three states: In Florida, where it required 60% support; in Nebraska, which had competing abortion ballot measures; and in South Dakota, where most national abortion rights groups did support the measure. AP VoteCast data found that more than three-fifths of voters in 2024 supported abortion being legal in all or most cases – a slight uptick from 2020. The support came even as voters supported Republicans to control the White House and both houses of Congress.

Bill Brandt, a notable photographer of the 20th century, left a lasting mark on the world of photography. This German-born photographer's contribution to photography was his ability to elevate the mundane and the ordinary into something extraordinary. Whether on the streets of London during the blackout of World War II or in the stark landscapes of northern England, Brandt had a keen eye for uncovering the poetic and the surreal in the everyday. Brandt was born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1904; however, he relocated to England in the early 1930s, where he would produce some of his most iconic work. His images often captured the gritty reality of urban life, the beauty of landscapes, and the nuances of the human form. Brandt's work defied categorization, ranging from social documentary to surrealism, yet consistently maintaining a unique style that was unmistakably his own. In addition to his artistic prowess, Brandt was also a master of photographic technique. He experimented extensively with angles, perspectives, and lighting, pushing the boundaries of what was possible. His approach to composition and willingness to challenge conventional photographic norms paved the way for future generations of photographers to explore new creative possibilities. His influence can be seen in the work of countless contemporary photographers, such as , who have been inspired by his bold experimentation and his ability to capture the essence of the human experience. Brandt received numerous accolades throughout his lifetime, including the Royal Photographic Society's Centenary Medal and the American Society of Magazine Photographers' Lifetime Achievement Award. Today, his photographs are held in prestigious collections around the world, ensuring that his legacy will endure for generations to come. Bill Brandt's impact on photography is not just historical; it's ongoing. He helped shaped the way we see and understand the world through the lens of a camera. His photographs continue to resonate with viewers today, serving as a timeless reminder of the power of photography to reveal the world around us.

He goes into detail about Brandt's portrait of Irish-born British figurative painter and attempts to better understand the process that led Brandt to create his photographs.

A Long Islander by birth, he learned how to see with a camera along the shores of the island that he will forever call home.
FRISCO - The Dallas Cowboys are presently in slot No. 9 in the "Tankathon,'' meaning that at 3-7, they are headed straight toward the No. 9 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. It's a temporarily painful process, though, to shoot lower. Er, higher. If Dallas can be even worse than 3-7 to close the season, Dallas be in even better shape come Draft Day. Some of this is up to the Cowboys; they can subtly allow failure to happen. We call that "Organic Tanking.'' It doesn't require them to be a clown show ("Sign Daniel Jones just as a joke!'' ) and it doesn't require them to fumble or miss tackles or commit penalties on purpose. Acceptingly let the bad mojo flow. Lean into it. And very specifically, starting this Sunday as double-digit underdogs, execute my "10 Simple How to Tank Moves'' ... 1) CeeDee Lamb is dealing with an assortment of injuries that as of Thursday made him a DNP and out of practice. In a normal circumstance, CeeDee would battle through the foot and the shoulder and the back issues. ... and after all of it, still be healthy enough to hit the late-night club scene . But this isn't normal. Want to develop kids like Jonathan "The Package'' Mingo , Ryan Flournoy and Jalen Brooks? Do it now. 2) All-Pro guards Zack Martin and Tyler Smith are also ailing and didn't work on Thursday. In the case of the future Hall of Famer Martin, he's got so many banged-up issues that the team isn't even listing them all on the official injury report. Neither of them are going to like this; Martin is contemplating retirement and obviously doesn't want to go out this way. But as with the wideouts, there are kids to be developed here, with one of the projects being whether rookie center Cooper Beebe will move to guard next year to replace Zack. But why wait until 2025 training camp to discover of Beebe should be a guard? Why not conduct a "Winter Training Camp'' now? On Friday, I reported that Martin is unlikely to play on Sunday. If Dallas follows through on my belief? Good. It's a step. And a big one . 3) Jake Ferguson has a concussion, so this week, the decision is being made for the Cowboys. We're seeing that UDFA rookie Brevyn Spann-Ford might be a keeper . We still haven't seen proof that 2023 second-round pick Luke Schoonmaker is. Let's give "Schoony'' a long-term shot at proving the Cowboys scouting department right. 4) Except for pride and stubbornness, there is no reason for Ezekiel Elliott to get even one more carry. (And if that causes him to show up late for meetings again, deal with it appropriately.) In his place? The Cowboys think second-year fullback Hunter Luepke is a key offensive piece. ... and even half-joke that he's the second coming of Mike Alstott. But why joke about it ? Why not find out if it's true? Meanwhile, they know what they have in starter Rico Dowdle, who is bound for free agency and could be retained. Luepke might as well get snaps ahead of him, too. 5) It is the most high-profile of all of these considerations: Cooper Rush vs. Trey Lance ... and every fan and media member seems to have an opinion. But there is an obvious double-bottom line here. One, Dallas is about to see Lance go to free agency without any real knowledge of what he might be capable of long-term in a real game. Leave it that way and that fourth-round pick trade is a disaster. Discover if he can play ... and maybe there is value in trying to re-sign him as Dak's backup in 2025. And two, while owner Jerry Jones and coach Mike McCarthy are probably right about how "Rush gives us a better chance of winning'' ... the Tankathon - again - teaches us that Dallas' front office shouldn't really covet that "better chance.'' Related: Emotional Dak Admits To Crying Tears Over Lost Season A "better chance of winning'' has some value ... but that value is not trumped by "a better chance at a high first-round pick in 2025.'' 6) The coaching staff likes Eric Kendricks. He's actually had a solid season and he's been told Dallas might like him back next year. Fine. But he will turn 33 in February. ... and no 33-year-olds should be playing for a 3-7 team with "Organic Tanking'' on its mind. 7) It was in 2023 when the Cowboys and safety Malik Hooker finalized a three-year extension worth $24 million that runs through the 2026-27 season. Nothing against Hooker, but that decision pre-dates Dallas' spring of 2024 decision to "Blow It Up.'' And right now? We wonder if Dallas might wish it could un-do this deal. Short of that? Put Hooker in mothballs for 2024. Let him (and Donovan Wilson, also under contract for 2025) be a key to next year's group of safeties ... while the likes of Juanyeh Thomas are allowed to take over. 8) Trevon Diggs is not having a great year. He's bogged down by nagging injuries and he feels insulted when questioned about his willingness to tackle ( heads, up, Tre' ... because even Bill Belichick is questioning it now ). Give him a break. Let him heal up his calf and his knee and his psyche. ... and along with CeeDee, give him time to polish up those dance moves. Let rookie Caelen Carson try to prove something during a baptism by fire. Let practice-squadders Andrew Booth and Kemon Hall do the same. Diggs has plenty to re-prove; 2025 would be a wonderful time for it. 9) How do you tell DeMarcus Lawrence "no''? Or, at least, "Yes, but only a little bit.'' Lawrence is a prideful force who plays hurt and plays well. Right now he's trying to fight his way through a foot injury so he can return to the field to help the team ... and also, logically, to help himself. He's out of contract after this season and his days of making $20 million APY are long gone. He'll also enter his age-33 year in 2025. ... meaning there might not be a match in bringing him back - even as Dallas can have $100 million in 2025 cap room . Maybe Dallas "owes'' him the right to put out some good film as he hits free agency. OK. But just a little bit of good film. Deal? 10) And the toughest one of all: Micah Parsons. Parsons is a sort of ADD-driven competitor. ... and that is to be admired (especially when he someday learns how to funnel all that hyper-energy into causes that matter rather than podcast insults and Twitter wars and misguided self-comparisons to LeBron James ). Tell Micah that you are resting him down the stretch. Explain to him why. Include him. Make him feel like he's part of the decision. But then brace yourself as you next hope he doesn't spend the next two months blasting the organization for "not letting Micah be Micah.'' And there is it. ... my "10 Simple How to Tank Moves'' .... all about a temporary winter pain that can lead to big-time spring-time gain.

Q3 Sales and operating results better than guidance Q3 Sales increase of 7% represents sequential improvement for the fifth consecutive quarter Raises full year 2024 outlook and provides fourth quarter guidance REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio, Dec. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Victoria’s Secret & Co. (“Victoria’s Secret” or the “Company”) (NYSE: VSCO) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended November 2, 2024. Chief Executive Officer Hillary Super commented, “I am very encouraged by the strength of our third quarter business and the positive, early customer response to our holiday merchandise assortments. Sales increased 7% for the quarter, with mid-single digit growth in North America and 20+% growth from our International business. Our sales performance was well ahead of our expectations, and our best quarterly sales growth since 2021. Our strength for the quarter was broad based across all regions, all channels, all major merchandise categories and importantly all brands - Victoria’s Secret, PINK and Adore Me - were up to last year. We won the major moments during the quarter, starting with PINK back to campus in August, followed by our VSX sport launch in September and finishing the quarter with the return of the VS Fashion Show in October. I am particularly optimistic because these results were powered by emotional products she loves and clear, elevated brand marketing and storytelling. Our strength in sales and disciplined inventory management translated to strong margins which were up to last year, and our teams continue to be relentless on controlling costs in our business. I want to thank our VS&Co team whose passion for our brands and commitment to our customers and our transformation fueled these results. It was a great quarter for me to have joined the company and a great quarter to be on the VS&Co team.” Hillary continued, “We are excited to see our momentum from the third quarter continue through Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Our merchandise offering and giftable product assortments are resonating with the customer and driving traffic both in stores and online. The strong product acceptance supported by our best-in-mall store experience and dozens of digital enhancements are driving solid conversion and basket size. As I travel with the teams, I have observed that our stores are often the busiest in the mall and am particularly impressed with how we continue to serve and engage our customers.” Third Quarter 2024 Results The Company reported net sales of $1.347 billion for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 7% compared to net sales of $1.265 billion for the third quarter of 2023 and above our previously communicated guidance range of a net sales increase of low-single digits. Total comparable sales for the third quarter of 2024 increased 3%. The Company reported a net loss of $56 million, or $0.71 per share for the third quarter of 2024. This result compares to a net loss of $71 million, or $0.92 per share for the third quarter of 2023. Third quarter 2024 operating loss was $47 million compared to $67 million in the third quarter of 2023. Excluding the impact of the items described at the conclusion of this press release, third quarter 2024 adjusted net loss was $39 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, which was better than our previously communicated range of an adjusted net loss of $0.60 to $0.80 per share and better than last year’s third quarter adjusted net loss of $66 million, or $0.86 per share. Third quarter 2024 adjusted operating loss of $28 million was favorable to our previously communicated guidance of an adjusted operating loss in the range of $40 to $60 million, and last year’s third quarter adjusted operating loss of $60 million. Full Year and Fourth Quarter 2024 Outlook The Company is raising its full year outlook and is now forecasting net sales for the 52-week fiscal year 2024 to be up approximately 1% to 2%, compared to prior guidance of down approximately 1%, to a comparative 52-weeks from fiscal year 2023. The Company estimated the extra week in the fourth quarter of 2023 represented approximately $80 million in net sales. At this forecasted level of sales, adjusted operating income for fiscal year 2024 is now expected to be in the range of $315 million to $345 million, or favorable to prior guidance of $275 million to $300 million. The Company is forecasting net sales for the 13-week fourth quarter 2024 to increase approximately 2% to 4% to a comparative 13-weeks from the fourth quarter of 2023. At this forecasted level of sales, adjusted operating income for the fourth quarter of 2024 is expected to be in the range of $240 million to $270 million. Adjusted net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2024 is estimated to be in the range of $2.00 to $2.30. Forecasted adjusted operating income and adjusted net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 exclude the financial impact of purchase accounting items related to the Adore Me acquisition, including expense (income) related to changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration and performance-based payments, as well as the amortization of intangible assets. The Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted operating income or adjusted net income per diluted share to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because the Company is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate reconciliation or estimation of certain reconciling items without unreasonable effort, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting the timing of, and quantifying, the various purchase accounting items that are necessary for such reconciliation.

The Company's non-GAAP "Adjusted EBITDA" excludes (i) impacts of interest, taxes, and depreciation; (ii) the Company's share-based compensation expense, unrealized gains/losses on securities, and, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration with respect to previously completed acquisitions, all of which are non-cash items that the Company believes are not reflective of the Company's general business performance, and for which the accounting requires management judgment, and the resulting expenses could vary significantly in comparison to other companies; (iii) non-cash impairment losses related to long-lived assets (including goodwill); (iv) realized gains and losses on sales of equity securities, the amounts of which are directly related to the unrealized gains and losses that are also excluded; (v) legal fees related to litigation and various transactions, which fees management does not believe are reflective of the Company's ongoing operating activities; (vi) gains and losses on disposal of assets, the majority of which are related to obsolete or unrepairable machines that are no longer deployed; (vii) gains and losses related to discontinued operations that would not be applicable to the Company's future business activities; and (viii) severance expenses. The Company previously excluded non-cash impairment losses related to digital assets and realized gains and losses on sales of bitcoin from its calculation of adjusted EBITDA, but has determined such items are part of the Company's normal ongoing operations and will no longer be excluding them from its calculation of adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that providing this non-GAAP financial measure that excludes these items allows for meaningful comparisons between the Company's core business operating results and those of other companies, and provides the Company with an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating its own core business operating results over different periods of time. In addition to management's internal use of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, management believes that adjusted EBITDA is also useful to investors and analysts in comparing the Company's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis. Management believes the foregoing to be the case even though some of the excluded items involve cash outlays and some of them recur on a regular basis (although management does not believe any of such items are normal operating expenses necessary to generate the Company's bitcoin related revenues). For example, the Company expects that share-based compensation expense, which is excluded from adjusted EBITDA, will continue to be a significant recurring expense over the coming years and is an important part of the compensation provided to certain employees, officers, and directors. Additionally, management does not consider any of the excluded items to be expenses necessary to generate the Company's bitcoin related revenue. The Company's adjusted EBITDA measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in the Company's industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. The Company's adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating (loss) income or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Although management utilizes internally and presents adjusted EBITDA, the Company only utilizes that measure supplementally and does not consider it to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA is not meant to be considered in isolation of, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Jacqueline Jossa says 'cannot cope' as she comes down with nasty bugTests keep coming for Auburn and Duke, who collide at Cameron Indoor Stadium in a typical prove-it game in a rare environment on Wednesday night. No. 2 Auburn and No. 9 Duke square off less than one month into the season as two of the most battle-tested teams in basketball. They're matched as one of the marquee games in the crossover showcase known as the ACC-SEC Challenge. Auburn (7-0) jumped two spots in the latest Top 25 poll propelled by its Maui Invitational championship. In one of Feast Week's toughest brackets, the Tigers rallied from 18 points down to beat then-No. 4 Iowa State, handled then-No. 12 North Carolina 85-72 and rolled past Memphis 90-76 in the title game. With a week off to shed any remnants of jet lag returning from the islands, Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl is pointing to another potential resume-building win. "The confidence that we're going to get from (Maui) is that we know we can play with anybody," Pearl said. "I promise you this, we'll stay humble and hungry. We will not begin to think too much of ourselves." Helping lead Auburn in Maui was fifth-year power forward Johni Broome. The tournament's MVP, Broome averaged 21.7 points, 15 rebounds, 4.3 assists and three blocks in the three-game sweep. Spearheading a veteran Tigers roster, Broome couldn't care less about individual honors. "I wanted to come to a place where the foundation was already built, and that's why I came to Auburn," Broome said. "Winning player of the year doesn't matter to me. I care about winning games, and making sure I can help my team in any way." Broome's 20.7 points and 12.9 rebounds per game lead the Tigers, while Chad Baker-Mazara adds 12.6 ppg and Denver Jones chips in 11.1. Auburn's next roadblock is earning its first-ever win against Duke. The Tigers are 0-3 all-time against the Blue Devils, including a six-point loss in the 2018 Maui Invitational. Duke (5-2) has already been through three games against ranked opponents. The Blue Devils had a 77-72 loss against then-No. 19 Kentucky, a 14-point win at then-No. 17 Arizona and a 75-72 defeat against No. 1 Kansas last week in Las Vegas. "Best team we've played so far," Pearl said of Duke. Bouncing back on Friday, the Blue Devils took down Seattle 70-48, holding the Redhawks to just 10 made field goals on 47 attempts (21.3 percent). Despite the suffocating defensive effort, Duke head coach Jon Scheyer knows his team has a long way to go. "I wasn't really happy with much tonight, to be honest," Scheyer said on Friday. "I thought we rushed some shots, had too many turnovers. We need to finish stronger, drive stronger, make extra passes, there were a whole bunch of things. ... We just need to get back to practice. In fairness to our guys, we've been traveling a lot and we just need practice time." Pacing the Blue Devils in scoring is five-star freshman Cooper Flagg. He's averaging 15.9 points per game to go along with 8.3 rebounds. Fellow freshman Kon Knueppel adds 13.4 points per contest. Far less seasoned raw freshman, big man Khaman Maluach has given Duke's interior defense an edge it was lacking last season. A projected lottery pick who can be overshadowed by the Flagg publicity train, Maluach (7-2, 248) is averaging 8.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and has two three-block games. In last year's inaugural ACC-SEC Challenge, Duke lost at Arkansas 80-75 and Auburn topped Virginia Tech 74-57. --Field Level MediaThe Dow rocketed to a fresh record Friday, extending a post-election US equity rally while the euro retreated against the dollar following weak eurozone data. The blue-chip index piled on one percent to end the day at 44,296.51, narrowly overtaking a record set earlier this month. Major American indices have been at or near record territory since the US election, with investors betting that President-elect Donald Trump's program of tax cuts and regulatory scale-back would more than offset the drag from expected tariff increases. "The trading most of this week has been influenced by the growth agenda," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Cresset Capital Management. Market watchers have been cheered this week by a broadening of the rally beyond the tech names that dominated earlier in the year. The dollar also continued to strengthen, reflecting less certainty about additional Federal Reserve interest rate cuts and the US currency's status as a haven asset amid escalating tensions in the Russia-Ukraine war. The euro was also battered by a closely watched survey showing contractions in November business activity in the eurozone. The HCOB Flash Eurozone purchasing managers' index (PMI) published by S&P Global dropped to 48.1 compared to 50.0 in October, the most marked rate of contraction in 10 months. Any reading above 50 indicates growth, while a figure below 50 shows contraction. "Things could hardly have turned out much worse," said Cyrus de la Rubia, chief economist at Hamburg Commercial Bank. "The eurozone's manufacturing sector is sinking deeper into recession, and now the services sector is starting to struggle after two months of marginal growth." But as the euro fell both Paris and Frankfurt stocks managed to recover their losses and advance. "The eurozone data has increased the chance of more rate cuts from the ECB next year," said Kathleen Brooks, research director at XTB, as well a cut of 50 basis points next month. "Investors have been jolted into recalibrating interest rate expectations on the back of this bleak economic news," she added. London managed to gain 1.4 percent despite data showing that retail sales figures for October undershot forecasts, as the pound fell against the dollar. In Asia, Tokyo climbed as the government prepared to announce a $140 billion stimulus package to kickstart the country's stuttering economy. However, Hong Kong and Shanghai sank on a sell-off in tech firms caused by weak earnings from firms including Temu-owner PDD Holdings and internet giant Baidu. Bitcoin set a new record high above $99,500 Friday, before easing back slightly. The leading digital currency is expected to soon burst through $100,000 as investors grow increasingly hopeful that Trump will pass measures to deregulate the crypto sector. Bitcoin has soared more than 40 percent since the Republican's election victory this month and has more than doubled since the turn of the year. The recent surge has also been "driven by news that Trump could set up an official crypto department that would sit in the heart of US government," said XTB's Brooks.

More info Dame Judi Dench has shared a touching story about the apple tree she planted in memory of her dear friend, Dame Maggie Smith. The tree bore fruit on the day of the actress's funeral. Dame Mag gie, who was known for her iconic roles in Harry Potter and Downton Abbey, passed away in hospital at the age of 89 in September. A special programme titled "Maggie Smith At The BBC" aired on Saturday, which would have been her 90th birthday, reflecting on her life and career. In the programme, Dame Judi revealed that she discovered Dame Maggie’s crab apple tree had produced fruit on the day of her funeral. "I had it in my pocket at her funeral, which was a very nice thing to have. We had such great times", she said. The two actresses worked together on various projects, including 2004’s Ladies In Lavender and 1985’s A Room With A View. Remembering their time together, Dame Judi said: "I have known her for a long long time. Very, very funny and unbelievably witty, and a really sweet and special friend." She also admitted that Dame Maggie could be "quite frightening" at times and joked that "you didn’t want to be on the wrong side of Mags". Sir Derek Jacobi, stage and screen star, agreed that Dame Maggie could be "terrifying because she was so gifted". He added: "I was just in awe of her, but you had to get over that. Being in awe of her didn’t last because she wouldn’t let it last." Ruth Jones, the much-loved Gavin And Stacey actress, shared a hilarious anecdote during a special BBC Two programme, revealing that she once dreamt about Dame Maggie Smith while gearing up to play Mother Superior in Sister Act, the same part the esteemed actress portrayed on-screen in 1992. Ruth admitted that in her dream, she told Dame Maggie she would adopt a Welsh accent for the role, an idea that left the acting legend "absolutely horrified". The broadcast paid a heartfelt tribute to Dame Maggie's illustrious career, featuring interviews with friends and co-stars alongside a treasure trove of clips showing her captivating performances from the 1960s right through to the 2020s. Charles Dance, famed for his role in Game Of Thrones, recounted feeling incredibly fortunate as he directed Dame Judi Dench and Dame Maggie in Ladies In Lavender, sharing secrets from the set on BBC’s poignant Lives Well Lived series. He let slip that Dame Maggie was persuaded to join the project upon learning Dame Judi was on board, quipping, "I could have shot the telephone directory with those two." Dance fondly remembered their "wonderful" dynamics, chuckling over a particular scene where, improvising, they jovially argued while scampering up the stairs, showing just how adept both Dames are at bringing a touch of spontaneity to their roles. Meanwhile, Alex Jennings added his praises, extolling their "complex and brilliant" performances in A Room With A View in a chat with presenter Kirsty Wark. Jennings said: "The poetry of her work, of recognising loneliness and desperation and wasted lives – she could absolutely tap in to in a heartbreaking way, and in a really subtle way." He described working with her on the 2015 film The Lady In The Van as a "privilege to witness her invention" of characters. Fellow actress Frances de la Tour, who also appeared in the film and the Harry Potter series, remembered Dame Maggie as "amazing in every way".
US President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday nominated Jared Isaacman, a billionaire online payments entrepreneur and the first private astronaut to conduct a spacewalk, as the next head of NASA. The nod raises questions about potential conflicts of interest, given Isaacman's financial ties to SpaceX chief Elon Musk, who is set to co-chair a government efficiency commission and is one of Trump's closest advisors. Isaacman, 41, the founder and CEO of Shift4 Payments, has emerged as a leading figure in commercial spaceflight through his high-profile collaborations with SpaceX. He made history in September by stepping out of a Crew Dragon to gaze at Earth from the void of space while gripping the spacecraft's exterior, during the first-ever spacewalk carried out by non-professional astronauts. "I am delighted to nominate Jared Isaacman, an accomplished business leader, philanthropist, pilot and astronaut, as Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Jared will drive NASA's mission of discovery and inspiration, paving the way for groundbreaking achievements in Space science, technology, and exploration." The groundbreaking spacewalk was part of the Polaris program, a collaboration between Isaacman and SpaceX that is set to include three missions in total. Financial terms of the partnership remain under wraps but Isaacman reportedly poured $200 million of his own money into leading the 2021 all-civilian SpaceX Inspiration4 orbital mission, his first foray into space. A staunch supporter of SpaceX and Musk, Isaacman frequently praises the company and its vision on social media platform X. "There will inevitably be a thriving space economy -- one that will create opportunities for countless people to live and work in space," Isaacman said in an X post after Trump's announcement. "At NASA, we will passionately pursue these possibilities." Isaacman, a Pennsylvania native, founded the business that became Shift4 Payments from his family's basement at just 16. A skilled aviator, he is qualified to fly military aircraft, has performed at airshows, and set a world record for an around-the-world flight. The nomination comes at a delicate juncture for the storied US space agency, with experts anticipating significant shifts in direction during Trump's second term. The Artemis program, which aims to return astronauts to the Moon, may face scrutiny as Trump has repeatedly voiced a preference for prioritizing a direct mission to Mars. Also possibly on the chopping block is the massive, NASA-owned Space Launch System (SLS) Moon rocket, which has been criticized for being exorbitantly expensive due to its lack of reusability, in contrast with SpaceX's Starship, which is designed to be reusable but remains a prototype. If Isaacman is confirmed by the Senate, his ties to SpaceX could invite heightened scrutiny of future contracting decisions. NASA currently has agreements with both SpaceX and Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin to develop lunar lander systems -- a dual-source approach Isaacman has criticized, citing budgetary constraints and SpaceX's capabilities. In a recent op-ed for Space News, Peter Juul of the Progressive Policy Institute called upon Congress to require dual-source contracting to "preserve competition in the commercial space industry and preempt any attempt by Musk to entrench SpaceX as a de facto monopoly for commercial space services." Still, as a daring entrepreneur in an era of expanding public-private partnerships in space, Isaacman's appointment has drawn praise in some quarters. "The Planetary Society shares his vision of bold exploration in space, and, should he be confirmed, we look forward to working with him," Casey Dreier, the nonprofit's chief of space policy, told AFP. ia/ahaYouTube star MrBeast is cooking up a collaborative video with Portuguese football legend Cristiano Ronaldo — and he says it’s his biggest one yet. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is the proud owner of YouTube’s most-subscribed channel, thanks to his big-budget viral videos and over-the-top challenges featuring top names in the creator space. While MrBeast has rubbed elbows with quite a few celebrities ever since reaching online fame, he shocked the world after appearing on Cristiano Ronaldo’s YouTube channel on November 21 in an unexpected meeting of the minds. In just one day, the video has racked up over 25 million views... but MrBeast’s upcoming portion of their collab might be even better. MrBeast’s “biggest video ever” to feature Cristiano Ronaldo On November 22, MrBeast was quoted as saying that he has “the biggest video ever planned with Cristiano Ronaldo on 30th November.” The influencer responded to this quote in a reply on X, boasting that it will “easily be my best YouTube video all year” and thinks “the football world is going to love it.” Easily will be my best YouTube video all year, I think the football world is going to love it 🥰 Fans are already wringing their hands in anticipation for the upcoming upload. Given MrBeast’s track record for challenging big personalities to absurd tasks, there’s no telling what he has in store for one of football’s most famous athletes. His current interview with Ronaldo has already sparked a big conversation online, particularly for the moment where he urged the sports star to make a video with streamer IShowSpeed, who’s arguably his biggest fan. Related: While Ronaldo had a non-committal answer, saying, “Good to know,” fans are equally excited for the possibility of this collaboration. However, it’s unclear if MrBeast’s video with Ronaldo will a candle to his forthcoming Amazon series ‘Beast Games,’ on which he spent a whopping $100M and broke several records.
