Haiti: A tragic accident occurred on Monday at the Varreux Terminal in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, when a ship capsized while loading trucks. The ship, named Maelys Lome II, was carrying goods between the cities of Gran Sud and Port-au-Prince. During the loading process, a truck's poor manoeuvre caused the ship to lean sideways, eventually tipping over. At least seven people were killed, and 17 others were injured in the incident. Videos shared on social media showed the ship overturned in the water, with several trucks and other objects scattered around. The Maelys Lome II, which weighs 2,401 tons and was built in 1970, is owned by JP Haiti Trans. The Varreux Terminal expressed deep regret over the accident, stating that plans were being made to right and repair the vessel. Despite the tragedy, the terminal confirmed that normal activities at the oil terminal were continuing, and international port operations, including fuel and bulk product shipments, were unaffected. The terminal is located near the State University of Haiti Hospital, which has faced challenges due to gang violence in the area. The hospital, which had been closed for some time, recently reopened amidst rising concerns over security.

According to two government officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the subject, Health Minister Duckenson Lorthe will be replaced by Justice Minister Patrick Pelissier until a new health minister is found. Two journalists and a police officer were killed Tuesday as gang members burst into the General Hospital and fired indiscriminately at reporters who were there to cover the facility’s reopening. It was one of the worst attacks on Haitian media in recent memory. Seven other journalists were wounded. Jean Feguens Regala, a photographer who survived the attack , said journalists had been invited to the hospital by the health ministry but there was little security at the site. “The fact that the minister of health invited us, you feel that preparations have been made already,” Regala told The Associated Press. “When we made contact with a police unit, the police told us they were not aware of the event.” RELATED COVERAGE A survivor of the worst gang attack on Haitian journalists says colleagues were cut down by bullets A Haiti gang attack on the reopening of a main hospital kills 2 reporters and a police officer A gang leader in Haiti is accused of massacring older people to avenge his son’s death The health minister did not show up at the event, for reasons that have not been explained. Shortly after the attack, Johnson “Izo” André — considered Haiti’s most powerful gang leader and part of the Viv Ansanm group of gangs that has taken control of much of Port-au-Prince — posted a video on social media claiming responsibility for the attack. The video said the gang coalition had not authorized the hospital’s reopening. Gang violence has worsened in Haiti, with coordinated gang attacks on prisons, police stations and the main international airport crippling the country’s capital and plunging Haiti into an unprecedented crisis. Gangs are believed to control 85% of Port-au-Prince. The Caribbean country has struggled to organize an election that will restore democratic rule, and is currently governed by a transitional council made up of representatives of political parties, business groups and civil society organizations.

New Year Eve 2025: The Best Parties and Events WorldwideBy Jarrell Dillard, Prashant Gopal and Maria Clara Cobo | Bloomberg Before Donald Trump’s election, Redfin Corp. projected mortgage rates would average 6.1% next year. But three days after the election, they revised their estimate upward to 6.8% – basically unchanged from today’s high levels. “The difference is Trump,” said Daryl Fairweather, chief economist at Redfin. “The market seems to be pricing in that he’ll move forward with at least some of the tariffs, but it’s really hard to know what Trump is going to do.” It’s another hit for the housing market, which has been dealing with a rise in borrowing costs that’s pushed at least one measure of mortgage rates above 7%. Economists expecting higher-for-longer borrowing costs shows just how tough the market is likely to be for homebuyers trying to find affordable options. “There was a view that rates would gradually fall, but that no longer seems to be the case,” said Thomas Ryan, North America economist at Capital Economics. “As a result, the housing market is going to stay frozen — as it is — for longer than we and other economists had expected.” While the stock market rallied the day after Trump’s victory, the bond market has reacted with more trepidation given how tariffs and other policies might impact inflation. After the election, Barclays Plc economists raised their inflation projections for the next two years and lowered their outlook for economic growth, due to tariffs and potential immigration restrictions. Trump’s proposal for an up to 20% tariff on all imports, and an even higher 60% tariff on Chinese goods, is one of the major causes of uncertainty. Economists have said this could lead to inflation as companies would likely pass on those cost increases to consumers. If he also imposes tax cuts, that could lower fiscal revenue and drive up the US deficit, pushing long-term rates even higher. Some economists have also warned that Trump’s plan to deport millions of undocumented immigrants could further exacerbate the nation’s housing shortage. If Trump’s policies lead to an even smaller labor force for the construction industry, it would make it difficult to build new homes and make costs even more expensive. “We need labor,” said Nadia Evangelou, senior economist at the National Association of Realtors. “Sometimes homebuilders are not able to deliver affordable homes, or the price point that people can afford to buy. And the reason is because of the labor shortage.” Trump’s impacts on the economy will likely influence how the Federal Reserve proceeds. And while the Fed’s decisions on short-term interest rates do not directly set mortgage rates, monetary policy does have some influence. Mortgage rates closely follow yields on 10-year Treasuries, and are affected by market expectations for inflation and economic growth. Capital Economics expects higher rates to be another “setback” for buyers and cause a home-sale recovery to be even shallower than expected. Mortgage rates will likely stay high around 7% in 2024 and drop only a quarter point by the end of 2025, according to Capital Economics’ Ryan. “There’s a general consensus that the net effect of Trump’s policies will be inflationary,” Ryan said. “That’s what’s driving changes in the bond market at the moment.” Other economists have also dialed back their mortgage-rate expectations. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, predicts 30-year fixed mortgage rates will now remain around 7%. “I don’t think I’d count on mortgage rates coming down anytime until next fall, later next year,” Zandi said. “And even then, I’m not sure. It really depends on what his policies are, how aggressively he pursues them.” For buyers, the picture remains a little uncertain. High borrowing costs have weighed on shoppers, fueling a drop in contracts to buy previously owned homes in October, according to Redfin. While prices held up in October, homes stayed a median of 41 days on the market, about a week longer than a year ago, according to Redfin. If higher borrowing costs slow the market even more, that could help spur more deals for buyers. For now, election uncertainty has cleared, giving some consumers more confidence to forge ahead. Erica Diaz, an agent with Homevest in Florida, said her business has seen a significant increase in both potential buyers and sellers since the election. Malvin Le, a real estate agent based in Orange County, California, said his phone lit up immediately after the election with a few buyers ready to go shopping again. “The day after the election, I got three or four calls from buyers who wanted to see a house that weekend,” Le said. “There are still buyers waiting to buy, they’re just waiting for a good deal.” Related Articles Housing | Criminal charges and jail time now part of predatory mortgage lending law in California Housing | 30-year mortgage hit highest level since July Housing | Mortgage refinancing, auto loans rejected at highest rate since 2013 Housing | US mortgage rates dip, but economists see volatility ahead Housing | Mortgage rates fell, then rose.

Megyn Kelly roasted MSNBC anchor Mika Brzezinski’s apparent hypocrisy for portraying herself as “Miss Champion, Miss Feminist” despite having appeared in a racy magazine photoshoot with her cohost husband, Joe Scarborough, in 2012 — and even recreated her pose. While speaking with Sky News host Paul Murray this week, Kelly slammed the Morning Joe cohost as an “idiot” who is constantly “lecturing us about women’s rights, like she’s progressive”: “They were on the cover of, was it, New York Magazine , 10 years ago,” Kelly said, though it was actually a 2012 Vanity Fair cover. “You have a picture of the two of them where Joe Scarborough is like in a power pose and she is up there on the desk like this,” the conservative podcast host said, as she climbed up onto her desk and kicked her leg in the air to mock Brzezinski’s risque pose. “I’m so over her fucking bullshit about her ‘women’s rights and empowerment and rapist this,’” Kelly added. “You’re full of shit and we all know it.” Brzezinski and Scarborough have recently landed themselves in hot water with their fellow liberals after meeting with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend despite their previous claims that the Republican had gone “full-on Hitler.” The number of Morning Joe viewers dramatically dipped after the hosts admitted on their broadcast that they went to Trump to “restart communications” between them on their broadcast , Breitbart News reported. Fellow MSNBC host Katie Phang posted to Bluesky shortly after the news of the meeting was publicized, “Normalizing Trump is a bad idea. Period.” Phang’s post was “widely perceived to be a response to Scarborough and Brzezinski,” CNN reported . Democrat political consultant Chuck Rocha said “I think Joe and Mika just don’t want to be audited” on CNN’s Monday broadcast of NewsNight . During the same show, commentator Jeff Jarvis claimed the Morning Joe couple’s “bended knee” was “a betrayal of the staff at MSNBC who do still criticize Donald Trump, who now feel that they are in some jeopardy because of that, because he has threatened the press.”Carbon footprint: Putting a ‘steak’ into the heart of the UK’s favourite meals
The Hornets head coach was serving a one-match touchline ban but must have been enjoying what he was seeing from his different vantage point right up until the closing seconds of the game. Then he watched his former teammate Andre Gray grab a goal in the very final minute of stoppage time to make it 2-2 and deny Watford their third away win of the season. “Our leaky defence and our away form has been questioned a lot this season, but tonight I’m honestly not too sure how we’ve conceded two goals and not picked up three points,” said Cleverley. “Sometimes goals are scored against the odds, and if you reduce Plymouth to as little as we did this evening, then nine times out of 10 we win that game. “Looking at ourselves, we can’t just say it was a freak goal – we should have done more to be out of sight at 2-1. “I felt like we had so many opportunities in transition and we just weren’t clinical enough. “Rather than say it was about how we defended our box in the last 30 seconds, I’d rather say it’s that we weren’t clinical enough at 2-1 up.” Despite two points disappearing into the dark Devon night Cleverley was not overly harsh on his squad. “I can’t be too angry with the players because it was everything we asked for,” he explained. “We wanted a real underdog mentality when we haven’t got the ball and I thought the players were dogged, aggressive, they won duels and second balls. “Then in possession we showed real class and calmness, and I thought we did all the things I asked for before the game. “We just didn’t get that third goal that you always feel you need when you come here because they score a lot of late goals. “That is what has undone us today.”The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — What a wonderful year 2024 has been for investors. U.S. stocks ripped higher and carried the S&P 500 to records as the economy kept growing and the Federal Reserve began cutting interest rates. The year featured many familiar winners, such as Big Tech, which got even bigger as their stock prices kept growing . But it wasn’t just Apple, Nvidia and the like. Bitcoin , gold and other investments also drove higher. Here’s a look at some of the numbers that defined the year. All are as of Dec. 20. Remember when President Bill Clinton got impeached or when baseball’s Mark McGwire hit his 70th home run against the Montreal Expos? That was the last time the U.S. stock market closed out a second straight year with a leap of at least 20%, something the S&P 500 is on track to do again this year. The index has climbed 24.3% so far this year, not including dividends, following last year’s spurt of 24.2%. The number of all-time highs the S&P 500 has set so far this year. The first came early, on Jan. 19, when the index capped a two-year comeback from the swoon caused by high inflation and worries that high interest rates instituted by the Federal Reserve to combat it would create a recession. But the index was methodical through the rest of the year, setting a record in every month outside of April and August, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. The latest came on Dec. 6. The number of times the Federal Reserve has cut its main interest rate this year from a two-decade high, offering some relief to the economy. Expectations for those cuts, along with hopes for more in 2025, were a big reason the U.S. stock market has been so successful this year. The 1 percentage point of cuts, though, is still short of the 1.5 percentage points that many traders were forecasting for 2024 at the start of the year. The Fed disappointed investors in December when it said it may cut rates just two more times in 2025, fewer than it had earlier expected. That’s how many points the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by the day after Election Day, as investors made bets on what Donald Trump’s return to the White House will mean for the economy and the world . The more widely followed S&P 500 soared 2.5% for its best day in nearly two years. Aside from bitcoin, stocks of banks and smaller winners were also perceived to be big winners. The bump has since diminished amid worries that Trump’s policies could also send inflation higher.

It’s been climbing as interest rates come down, and it got a particularly big boost following Trump’s election. He’s turned around and become a fan of crypto, and he’s named a former regulator who’s seen as friendly to digital currencies as the next chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, replacing someone who critics said was overly aggressive in his oversight. Bitcoin was below $17,000 just two years ago following the collapse of crypto exchange FTX. Gold’s rise for the year, as it also hit records and had as strong a run as U.S. stocks. Wars around the world have helped drive demand for investments seen as safe, such as gold. It’s also benefited from the Fed’s cut to interest rates. When bonds are paying less in interest, they pull away fewer potential buyers from gold, which pays investors nothing. It’s a favorite number of Elon Musk, and it’s also a threshold that Tesla’s stock price passed in December as it set a record. The number has a long history among marijuana devotees, and Musk famously said in 2018 that he had secured funding to take Tesla private at $420 per share . Tesla soared this year, up from less than $250 at the start, in part because of expectations that Musk’s close relationship with Trump could benefit the company. That’s how much revenue Nvidia made in the nine months through Oct. 27, showing how the artificial-intelligence frenzy is creating mountains of cash. Nvidia’s chips are driving much of the move into AI, and its revenue through the last nine months catapulted from less than $39 billion the year before. Such growth has boosted Nvidia’s worth to more than $3 trillion in total. GameStop’s gain on May 13 after Keith Gill, better known as “Roaring Kitty,” appeared online for the first time in three years to support the video game retailer’s stock, which he helped rocket to unimaginable heights during the “ meme stock craze ” in 2021. Several other meme stocks also jumped following his post in May on the social platform X, including AMC Entertainment. Gill later disclosed a sizeable stake in the online pet products retailer Chewy, but he sold all of his holdings by late October . That’s how much the U.S. economy grew, at annualized seasonally adjusted rates, in each of the three first quarters of this year. Such growth blew past what many pessimists were expecting when inflation was topping 9% in the summer of 2022. The fear was that the medicine prescribed by the Fed to beat high inflation — high interest rates — would create a recession. Households at the lower end of the income spectrum in particular are feeling pain now, as they contend with still-high prices. But the overall economy has remained remarkably resilient. This is the vacancy rate for U.S. office buildings — an all-time high — through the first three quarters of 2024, according to data from Moody’s. The fact the rate held steady for most of the year was something of a win for office building owners, given that it had marched up steadily from 16.8% in the fourth quarter of 2019. Demand for office space weakened as the pandemic led to the popularization of remote work. That’s the total number of previously occupied homes sold nationally through the first 11 months of 2024. Sales would have to surge 20% year-over-year in December for 2024’s home sales to match the 4.09 million existing homes sold in 2023, a nearly 30-year low. The U.S. housing market has been in a sales slump dating back to 2022, when mortgage rates began to climb from pandemic-era lows. A shortage of homes for sale and elevated mortgage rates have discouraged many would-be homebuyers.
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte says the military alliance will step up patrols in the Baltic Sea region as Finnish investigators work to establish whether a ship linked to Russia sabotaged undersea cables there this week. or signup to continue reading Finnish authorities seized control of the ship, the Eagle S, on Thursday as they tried to establish whether it had damaged a power cable linking Finland and Estonia and several data cables. It was the latest in a string of incidents involving the disruption of key infrastructure in the region. In a post on X, Rutte said he had spoken to Finland's President Alexander Stubb "about the ongoing Finnish-led investigation into possible sabotage of undersea cables." Rutte said "NATO will enhance its military presence in the Baltic Sea." Asked for details about what might be done and when, NATO headquarters would say only that the 32-country alliance "remains vigilant and is working to provide further support, including by enhancing our military presence" in the region. Finland, which shares a 1340km border with Russia, joined NATO in 2023, abandoning a decades-old policy of neutrality. In October 2023, in response to similar incidents, NATO and its allies deployed more maritime patrol aircraft, long-distance radar planes and drones on surveillance and reconnaissance flights, while a fleet of minehunters was also dispatched to the region. The Eagle S is flagged in the Cook Islands but has been described by Finnish customs officials and European Union officials as being part of Russia's shadow fleet of tankers shipping oil and gas in defiance of international sanctions imposed over its war on Ukraine. The ageing vessels, often with obscure ownership, routinely operate without Western-regulated insurance. Russia's use of the vessels has raised environmental concerns about accidents given their age and uncertain insurance coverage. The Eagle S's anchor is suspected of causing damage to the cable, Finland's Yle state broadcaster has reported, relying on police statements. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was asked about the seizure on Friday but declined to comment. After a high-level meeting about the incident, Stubb posted on X "the situation is under control. We have no reason to be worried," while adding the investigation continues. He said Finland and Estonia had requested extra NATO help. He said new measures could include "inspections of the insurance certificates of vessels" in the region. Stubb added that "we are also looking at ways, based on international maritime law, to respond more effectively to similar incidents in the future." The Estlink-2 power cable, which takes electricity from Finland to Estonia across the Baltic Sea, went down on Wednesday but had little impact on services. The incident follows damage to two data cables and the Nord Stream gas pipelines, both of which have been termed sabotage. Those data cables - one running between Finland and Germany and the other between Lithuania and Sweden - were severed in November. Germany's defence minister said "sabotage" was the likely cause but he didn't provide evidence or say who might have been responsible. DAILY Today's top stories curated by our news team.
