It wasn't DNA or facial recognition technology that cracked the case. Nor did amateur online sleuths make the breakthrough. In the end, it was a McDonald's restaurant employee - hours away from the scene of the crime - who spotted a man resembling a "person of interest" photo. The suspect was careful to wear a mask while traveling around New York City, but pulled it down for a second to flirt with a woman behind the desk at a youth hostel, and again to eat at McDonald's. That may have been enough. Police in Altoona, Pennsylvania, swooped into the restaurant and arrested Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old from a wealthy Baltimore-area family with a private and Ivy League education. After six dramatic days, the hunt for the man alleged to have gunned down UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson was over. On Monday morning, a regular at the McDonald's in Altoona told the BBC that one of his friends spotted Mr Mangione as he entered the restaurant and commented: "There's that shooter from New York." "I thought he was kidding," the customer said. Police were called and when officers first approached Mr Mangione and asked him if he'd been in New York, he became "visibly nervous, kind of shaking", Altoona's Deputy chief of police Derick Swope told reporters. As he was being led into a court hearing on Tuesday, Mr Mangione shouted about an "insult to the American people and their lived experience". He now faces charges of second-degree murder along with weapons offences. New York police say the suspect first arrived in the city on 24 November, in the busy run-up to the Thanksgiving holiday. He visited the Hilton Hotel, where the shooting would later happen, and his encounter with a clerk at the hostel, where he stayed, was captured on camera. Ten days later, on 4 December, Mr Thompson was shot dead on his way to a meeting at about quarter to seven in the morning. The suspect fled on foot, bike and taxi to a bus station near the George Washington Bridge. From there, he exited the city. The killing was identified as a targeted attack early on in the investigation. Video showed the suspect ignored several pedestrians on the busy Manhattan pavement and zeroed in on Mr Thompson. Shell casings at the scene had words written on them, thought to be references to the insurance industry: "delay", "deny", "depose". Mr Mangione comes from a large and wealthy family in Baltimore, Maryland, with business interests in nursing homes, real estate, a country club and a radio station, . He attended the all-male private Gilman School, where he graduated as valedictorian – at the top of his class. A former classmate, Freddie Leatherbury, told the Associated Press news agency that Mr Mangione came from a wealthy family, even by that private school's standards. "Quite honestly, he had everything going for him," Mr Leatherbury said. Mr Mangione went on to the University of Pennsylvania. There he received bachelor's and master's degrees in computer science, according to the school, and founded a video game development club. A friend who attended the Ivy League college at the same time as Mr Mangione described him as a "super normal" and "smart person". He worked as a data engineer and a video game developer, and most recently was living in Hawaii. Social media posts show that friends and family members had recently been attempting to contact him and asking about his whereabouts. In a post on X from October, someone asked Mr Mangione: "Hey, are you ok? Nobody has heard from you in months, and apparently your family is looking for you." Monday's arrest ended a dramatic six days in which the alleged killer seemed to disappear, leaving few clues behind and eluding police. Not only was he able to leave one of the busiest cities in the world using public transport, before Monday his name was not publicly known. It's also unclear exactly where he was hiding in the days after he left New York. Juliette Kayyem, former assistant secretary for policy at the US Department of Homeland Security, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that his background in technology may have helped him evade capture for nearly a week. "This was someone who was studying how law enforcement and how these cities try to protect themselves, which is essentially they have lots of cameras around," she said. "Now that we know a little bit about him - that he's a smart person, he went to great schools, he had higher degrees, he studied engineering technology, he was into electronic gizmos - some of it is beginning to make sense," Kayyem said. The suspect also wore a face mask almost constantly, and Mr Mangione was found with a fake driving licence and an untraceable "ghost gun" – a firearm assembled by the owner without a serial number, which police said may have been 3D-printed. Authorities said he used cash for purchases in New York City and fled the scene of the crime into Central Park, where there are few surveillance cameras. But he also appeared to make some elementary mistakes – including revealing his face in the hostel, and holding on to the gun and the fake identification card. The Mr Mangione family released a statement Monday night through Mangione's cousin, a Maryland state lawmaker. "Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi's arrest," said Nino Mangione. "We offer prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved." Mr Mangione's online footprint shows few messages about healthcare or the insurance industry. Instead there are comments about artificial intelligence and technology, science and pop philosophy, and reviews of a range of books, including 1984 and the Harry Potter series. But a number of social media accounts matching his name and picture offer some potential clues about his motivation. RJ Martin, a former roommate of Mr Mangione in Hawaii, said the suspect had a back injury, but he "never complained" about it. "His back injury prohibited him, at times, from just doing many normal things," Mr Martin said. The banner image on Mr Mangione's X account shows an X-ray of a spine with hardware in it. Mr Martin, who eventually lost contact with Mr Mangione, said he believed his former friend "would have never conceived of hurting someone else". And Mr Mangione's account on Goodreads, a user-generated book review website, indicated that he had read several books about managing back pain, one of them called Crooked: Outwitting the Back Pain Industry. Also on the Goodreads site, Mr Mangione gave four stars to a text called Industrial Society and Its Future by Theodore Kaczynski – better known as the Unabomber manifesto. Starting in 1978, Kaczynski carried out a bombing campaign that killed three people and injured dozens of others. In his review, Mr Mangione acknowledged Kaczynski was a violent individual who killed innocent people. However, he also argued that the essay should not be dismissed as the manifesto of a lunatic but rather the work of an "extreme political revolutionary". He quoted another online commentator who said: "When all other forms of communication fail, violence is necessary to survive." Mr Mangione wrote that he found this viewpoint "interesting". Police said a three-page, handwritten document Mr Mangione had when he was arrested expressed "ill will" towards corporate America. A senior law enforcement official told the New York Times that the document said: "These parasites had it coming" and "I do apologise for any strife and trauma, but it had to be done". Meanwhile, mixed reactions to the shooting and Mr Mangione's arrest continue – sympathy for Mr Thompson and his family versus . Online, the shooting prompted some criticism of the medical insurance industry, and Mr Mangione was even hailed as a hero. Police in Altoona said the department received hundreds of emails and calls, including death threats. Some members of the public called police in support of Mr Mangione, claiming they were actually the killer and that police "have the wrong guy". And police are advising McDonald's employees not to give interviews or statements out of concern for their safety. The restaurant received hundreds of negative reviews online, calling employees "rats" and criticising them for calling the police. Similar sentiments have been expressed online, often in posts by anonymous accounts. But others have condemned such sentiments. "In America, we do not kill people in cold blood to resolve policy differences or express a viewpoint," Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro told reporters. "I understand people have real frustration with our healthcare system... But I have no tolerance, nor should anyone, for one man using an illegal ghost gun to murder someone because he thinks his opinion matters most. "In some dark corners, this killer is being hailed as a hero. Hear me on this: He is no hero," Shapiro said.Joe Burrow latest US sports star to cop a home break-in

Rust helps Penguins beat Canucks 5-4 to snap three-game skid

Bago proposes N1.2tr 2025 budgetCLEVELAND (AP) — The NFL has closed an investigation into sexual assault allegations against Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson. The league has been reviewing the case for months , trying to determine whether Watson should be punished. “The matter is closed,” league spokesman Brian McCarthy said Friday in an email to The Associated Press. “There was insufficient evidence to support a finding of a violation of the personal conduct policy.” Watson, who served an 11-game suspension in 2022, was accused of assault in Texas by a woman in September. She was seeking more than $1 million in damages before the sides reached a confidential settlement. Watson strongly denied the allegations through his attorney, Rusty Hardin. The 29-year-old Watson suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon rupture in October. He's been rehabbing the injury in hopes of returning next season. The Browns still owe Watson $46 million in each of the next two seasons after they signed him to a fully guaranteed $230 million contract that has backfired. Watson has only played in 19 games over three seasons due to the suspension and injuries.

BETHESDA, Md. — Enviva, LLC (“Enviva” or the “Company”), a leading producer of industrial wood pellets, today announced its successful emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, marking a significant milestone in the Company’s strategic transformation. Enviva is well-positioned for long-term growth and consistent operating performance, allowing the Company to serve its customers as a market leader and critical partner in meeting their demand for renewable fuel. Enviva’s Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, with overwhelming support from the Company’s key stakeholders and business partners. As part of its financial restructuring, Enviva has equitized more than $1 billion of indebtedness and American Industrial Partners Capital Fund VIII (“AIP”) has become the largest shareholder of the Company. To support ongoing operations and future growth initiatives, Enviva is capitalized at emergence with an attractive exit loan facility, as well as access to further capital through a delayed draw term loan. As part of the Plan, stakeholders provided $250 million of new money financing through an Equity Rights Offering to help fund the recapitalization of the Company. As a result of this, the Company’s liquidity and financial profile is very strong and the Company has no near-term debt maturities. The secured funding also fully finances completion of the Company’s 11 production plant, under construction in Epes, Alabama, which is anticipated to produce its first pellets in May 2025. Once fully ramped, the Company expects the new plant to produce ~1 million metric tons of wood pellets per year, providing a significant opportunity to sell into new and existing markets. Also on emergence, Glenn Nunziata, who most recently served as Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, and James Geraghty, who formerly served as Executive Vice President of Finance, has been named Chief Financial Officer. “Emergence is a critical milestone and exciting step forward in positioning Enviva for a successful future,” said Glenn Nunziata, Enviva’s Chief Executive Officer. “On behalf of Enviva, I want to express our gratitude to all our stakeholders, especially our customers and associates, for their continued business and support. With a substantially reduced debt burden and dramatically improved liquidity profile, we are well-positioned to serve our customers reliably as a leading producer of industrial wood pellets and to rebuild trust and confidence in the communities in which we operate and markets in which we sell our product.” In connection with emergence, Enviva will operate as a private company with a new Board of Managers (“Board”) comprising representatives from key shareholders, including AIP, Keyframe Capital Partners, L.P., and Ares Management funds, who bring valuable financial, operational, and end-market experience to support Enviva’s operations and future growth. Jan Trnka-Amrhein, member of Enviva’s Board and Partner at AIP, added, “Enviva’s best-in-class portfolio of production assets and robust logistics capabilities allows for the Company to be the go-to partner for woody biomass renewable energy solutions. We see an immense opportunity for growth and expansion in the markets in which Enviva operates, and we’re confident that Enviva is well equipped to reliably meet its customers’ growing demand for biomass products.” Enviva extends its gratitude to its employees, customers, suppliers, and other partners for their support throughout the restructuring process. Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, Vinson & Elkins LLP, and Kutak Rock LLP served as legal counsel, Lazard served as investment banker, and Alvarez & Marsal North America, LLC served as restructuring advisor to Enviva. The Ad Hoc Group of Creditors was represented by Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP and McGuireWoods LLP as legal counsel and Evercore Group LLC as investment banker. Enviva, LLC is a leading producer of industrial wood pellets, a renewable energy source produced by aggregating a natural resource, wood fiber, and processing it into a transportable form, wood pellets. Enviva owns and operates ten plants in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, and is constructing its 11th plant in Epes, Alabama. Enviva sells most of its wood pellets through long-term, take-or-pay off-take contracts with customers located primarily in the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Japan, helping to accelerate the energy transition away from conventional energy sources in hard-to-abate sectors like steel, cement, lime, chemicals, and aviation. Enviva exports its wood pellets to global markets through its deep-water marine terminals at the Port of Chesapeake, Virginia, the Port of Wilmington, North Carolina, and the Port of Pascagoula, Mississippi, and from third-party deep-water marine terminals in Savannah, Georgia, Mobile, Alabama, and Panama City, Florida.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks rose to records after data suggested the job market remains solid enough to keep the economy going, but not so strong that it raises immediate worries about inflation. The S&P 500 climbed 0.2%, just enough top the all-time high set on Wednesday, as it closed a third straight winning week in what looks to be one of its best years since the 2000 dot-com bust. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 0.3%, while the Nasdaq composite climbed 0.8% to set its own record. Treasury yields eased after the jobs report showed stronger hiring than expected but also an uptick in the unemployment rate. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are drifting around their records Friday after data suggested the job market remains solid enough to keep the economy going, but not so strong that it raises immediate worries about inflation . The S&P 500 rose 0.2% and was just above its all-time high set on Wednesday. It’s rolling toward the close of a third straight winning week in what’s likely to be one of its best years since the 2000 dot-com bust. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 108 points, or 0.2%, as of 1:51 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 0.7%. Stocks held relatively steady as the latest jobs report strengthened expectations among traders that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates again at its next meeting in two weeks. While the report showed U.S. employers hired more workers than expected last month, it also said the unemployment rate unexpectedly ticked up to 4.2% from 4.1%. “This print doesn’t kill the holiday spirit and the Fed remains on track to deliver a cut in December,” according to Lindsay Rosner, head of multi-sector investing within Goldman Sachs Asset Management. The Fed began easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high in September to offer more help for the slowing job market, after bringing inflation nearly all the way down to its 2% target. Lower interest rates can ease the brakes off the economy, but they can also offer more fuel for inflation. Expectations for a series of cuts from the Fed have been a major reason the S&P 500 has set an all-time high 56 times so far this year. And the Fed is part of a global surge: 62 central banks have lowered rates in the past three months, the most since 2020, according to Michael Hartnett and other strategists at Bank of America. Still, the jobs report may have included some notes of caution for Fed officials underneath the surface. Scott Wren, senior global market strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute, pointed to average wages for workers last month, which were a touch stronger than economists expected. While that’s good news for workers who would always like to make more, it could also keep upward pressure on inflation. “This report tells the Fed that they still need to be careful as sticky housing/shelter/wage data shows that it won’t be easy to engineer meaningfully lower inflation from here in the nearer term,” Wren said. So, while traders are betting on a nearly 90% probability the Fed will ease its main rate in two weeks, they’re much less certain about how many more cuts it will deliver next year, according to data from CME Group. For now, the hope is that the job market can help U.S. shoppers continue to spend and keep the U.S. economy out of a recession that had earlier seemed inevitable after the Fed began hiking interest rates swiftly to crush inflation. Several retailers offered encouragement after delivering better-than-expected results for the latest quarter. Ulta Beauty rallied 10.4% after topping expectations for both profit and revenue. The opening of new stores helped it boost its revenue, and it raised the bottom end of its forecasted range for sales over this full year. Lululemon stretched 17.9% higher following its own profit report. It said stronger sales outside the United States helped it in particular, and its earnings topped analysts’ expectations. Retailers overall have been offering mixed signals on how resilient U.S. shoppers can remain amid the slowing job market and still-high prices. Target gave a dour forecast for the holiday shopping season, for example, while Walmart gave a much more encouraging outlook. A report on Friday suggested sentiment among U.S. consumers may be improving more than economists expected. The preliminary reading from the University of Michigan's survey hit its highest level in seven months. The survey found a surge in buying for some products as consumers tried to get ahead of possible increases in price due to higher tariffs that President-elect Donald Trump has threatened. In tech, Hewlett Packard Enterprise jumped 10.8% for one of the S&P 500's larger gains after reporting stronger profit and revenue than expected. Tech stocks broadly were one of the main reasons the S&P 500 climbed this past week, as Salesforce and other big companies talked up how much of a boost they’re getting from the artificial-intelligence boom. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury yield slipped to 4.16% from 4.18% late Thursday. In stock markets abroad, France’s CAC 40 rose 1.3% after French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to stay in office until the end of his term and to name a new prime minister within days. Earlier this week, far-right and left-wing lawmakers approved a no-confidence motion due to budget disputes, forcing Prime Minister Michel Barnier and his cabinet to resign. In Asia, stock indexes were mixed. They rallied 1.6% in Hong Kong and 1% in Shanghai ahead of an annual economic policy meeting scheduled for next week. South Korea’s Kospi dropped 0.6% as South Korea’s ruling party chief showed support for suspending the constitutional powers of President Yoon Suk Yeol after he declared martial law and then revoked that earlier this week. Yoon is facing calls to resign and may be impeached.

Stan Choe, The Associated PressBy Hannah Fry, Los Angeles Times (TNS) Every day millions of people share more intimate information with their accessories than they do with their spouse. Wearable technology — smartwatches, smart rings, fitness trackers and the like — monitors body-centric data such as your heart rate, steps taken and calories burned, and may record where you go along the way. Like Santa Claus, it knows when you are sleeping (and how well), it knows when you’re awake, it knows when you’ve been idle or exercising, and it keeps track of all of it. People are also sharing sensitive health information on health and wellness apps , including online mental health and counseling programs. Some women use period tracker apps to map out their monthly cycle. These devices and services have excited consumers hoping for better insight into their health and lifestyle choices. But the lack of oversight into how body-centric data are used and shared with third parties has prompted concerns from privacy experts, who warn that the data could be sold or lost through data breaches, then used to raise insurance premiums, discriminate surreptitiously against applicants for jobs or housing, and even perform surveillance. The use of wearable technology and medical apps surged in the years following the COVID-19 pandemic, but research released by Mozilla on Wednesday indicates that current laws offer little protection for consumers who are often unaware just how much of their health data are being collected and shared by companies. “I’ve been studying the intersections of emerging technologies, data-driven technologies, AI and human rights and social justice for the past 15 years, and since the pandemic I’ve noticed the industry has become hyper-focused on our bodies,” said Mozilla Foundation technology fellow Júlia Keserű, who conducted the research. “That permeates into all kinds of areas of our lives and all kinds of domains within the tech industry.” The report “From Skin to Screen: Bodily Integrity in the Digital Age” recommends that existing data protection laws be clarified to encompass all forms of bodily data. It also calls for expanding national health privacy laws to cover health-related information collected from health apps and fitness trackers and making it easier for users to opt out of body-centric data collections. Researchers have been raising alarms about health data privacy for years. Data collected by companies are often sold to data brokers or groups that buy, sell and trade data from the internet to create detailed consumer profiles. Body-centric data can include information such as the fingerprints used to unlock phones, face scans from facial recognition technology, and data from fitness and fertility trackers, mental health apps and digital medical records. One of the key reasons health information has value to companies — even when the person’s name is not associated with it — is that advertisers can use the data to send targeted ads to groups of people based on certain details they share. The information contained in these consumer profiles is becoming so detailed, however, that when paired with other data sets that include location information, it could be possible to target specific individuals, Keserű said. Location data can “expose sophisticated insights about people’s health status, through their visits to places like hospitals or abortions clinics,” Mozilla’s report said, adding that “companies like Google have been reported to keep such data even after promising to delete it.” A 2023 report by Duke University revealed that data brokers were selling sensitive data on individuals’ mental health conditions on the open market. While many brokers deleted personal identifiers, some provided names and addresses of individuals seeking mental health assistance, according to the report. In two public surveys conducted as part of the research, Keserű said, participants were outraged and felt exploited in scenarios where their health data were sold for a profit without their knowledge. “We need a new approach to our digital interactions that recognizes the fundamental rights of individuals to safeguard their bodily data, an issue that speaks directly to human autonomy and dignity,” Keserű said. “As technology continues to advance, it is critical that our laws and practices evolve to meet the unique challenges of this era.” Consumers often take part in these technologies without fully understanding the implications. Last month, Elon Musk suggested on X that users submit X-rays, PET scans, MRIs and other medical images to Grok, the platform’s artificial intelligence chatbot, to seek diagnoses. The issue alarmed privacy experts, but many X users heeded Musk’s call and submitted health information to the chatbot. While X’s privacy policy says that the company will not sell user data to third parties, it does share some information with certain business partners. Gaps in existing laws have allowed the widespread sharing of biometric and other body-related data. Health information provided to hospitals, doctor’s offices and medical insurance companies is protected from disclosure under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act , known as HIPAA, which established federal standards protecting such information from release without the patient’s consent. But health data collected by many wearable devices and health and wellness apps don’t fall under HIPAA’s umbrella, said Suzanne Bernstein, counsel at Electronic Privacy Information Center. “In the U.S. because we don’t have a comprehensive federal privacy law ... it falls to the state level,” she said. But not every state has weighed in on the issue. Washington, Nevada and Connecticut all recently passed laws to provide safeguards for consumer health data. Washington, D.C., in July introduced legislation that aimed to require tech companies to adhere to strengthened privacy provisions regarding the collection, sharing, use or sale of consumer health data. In California, the California Privacy Rights Act regulates how businesses can use certain types of sensitive information, including biometric information, and requires them to offer consumers the ability to opt out of disclosure of sensitive personal information. “This information being sold or shared with data brokers and other entities hypercharge the online profiling that we’re so used to at this point, and the more sensitive the data, the more sophisticated the profiling can be,” Bernstein said. “A lot of the sharing or selling with third parties is outside the scope of what a consumer would reasonably expect.” Health information has become a prime target for hackers seeking to extort healthcare agencies and individuals after accessing sensitive patient data. Health-related cybersecurity breaches and ransom attacks increased more than 4,000% between 2009 and 2023, targeting the booming market of body-centric data, which is expected to exceed $500 billion by 2030, according to the report. “Nonconsensual data sharing is a big issue,” Keserű said. “Even if it’s biometric data or health data, a lot of the companies are just sharing that data without you knowing, and that is causing a lot of anxiety and questions.” ©2024 Los Angeles Times.

Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.WASHINGTON (AP) — A freelance photographer and local government official from Illinois has been arrested on charges alleging he joined a mob's attack on the U.S. Capitol and pushed against a police officer’s riot shield, according to court records unsealed on Friday. Patrick Gorski, 27, was arrested in Chicago on Thursday on charges including obstructing law enforcement officers during a civil disorder, a felony. A federal judge ordered him released on bond after his initial court appearance. Gorski didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment. An attorney who represented him after his arrest declined to comment on Gorski's behalf. Authorities allege that during the attack, Gorski climbed scaffolding, breaching police lines, and took photos and videos inside the building. He yelled at officers, pushed against an officer's riot shield and was eventually forced out after being sprayed with a chemical irritant, authorities said. When the FBI interviewed him, Gorski did not claim that he was working as a photojournalist during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot and said he didn't bring his professional camera to the Capitol. He told federal agents that he had worked as a photographer for the Chicago Fire Department and for Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign. He has not professionally published any photographs of the Capitol riot, according to the FBI. An FBI agent’s affidavit says some of Gorski’s sports photographs are available through Getty Images and have been “picked up” by The Associated Press and USA Today. Authorities said Gorski has continued to take photos at some local sporting events in Chicago but hasn't published any political photographs in the last five years. Gorski is not an Associated Press journalist and has never been employed by the news organization, said Lauren Easton, AP's vice president of corporate communications. "We have distributed some photos he took for AP’s photo partners and member news organizations," Easton said in a statement. Gorski's resume says he works as a building commissioner for the Village of Norridge, Illinois, and graduated earlier this year from Southeastern Illinois University with a master’s degree in public administration. He attended then-President Trump's “Stop the Steal” rally near the White House on Jan. 6 before he marched to the Capitol in a group of people that included conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and Owen Shroyer , who has hosted a show on Jones' Infowars website. On the west side of the Capitol, Gorski climbed up a wall onto stairs, helped another rioter onto the wall and removed a tarp covering scaffolding, according to the FBI. He climbed up and down the scaffolding before he helped pass a bike rack to other rioters, the agent's affidavit says. Gorski pointed and yelled at police officers outside the building. He also clapped and chanted, “Let us in!” After rioters broke through a police lines and sent officers retreating, Gorski hung a flag over the edge of a balcony. Gorski used his phone to take photos or videos inside a tunnel entrance that police were guarding, according to the affidavit. He screamed at the officers, “This is our house!” as he pushed against an officer’s riot shield, the FBI said. Gorski left the tunnel after several minutes and entered the Capitol through the Senate Wing door, taking more photos or videos inside the building, the affidavit says. An officer had to forcibly move Gorski from a doorway in another part of the Capitol, according to the agent. Gorski retreated after police sprayed him with a chemical irritant. Approximately one year after the attack, the FBI received a tip that Gorski had posted photos of the riot in a group chat with friends. More than 1,500 people have been charged with federal crimes stemming from the Capitol riot.

In own words, his second term will be “nasty a little bit at times, and maybe at the beginning in particular”. Unlike his surprise win in 2016, when the Republicans’ preparations for America’s highest office were chaotic and marred by infighting, the 78-year-old has a for what he will do once . His “day one” agenda involves rapid and aggressive action to target illegal immigration, a purge of the federal government and a grievance-filled agenda to pursue opponents. has pledged to dramatically in the US with the assistance of local law enforcement and state police. He has even signalled he has “no problem” deploying the military and national guard troops to aid the effort. There are potential constitutional issues with mobilising service members on domestic soil, but Trump has floated the idea of invoking the Insurrection Act to give him the power required to direct troops, describing the border crisis as an “invasion”. Central to his plan for cutting down the number of people living in the country illegally is his proposal to launch the “largest deportation programme in history”. It would aim to remove the estimated 11 million people residing in the US without legal status. Trump’s team has provided few details on how they would identify these individuals, or how they would fund the operation. The Republican has suggested using the Alien Enemies Act – a rarely applied legal power dating back to 1798 and last used for the Japanese-American internment camps – to detain immigrants without a hearing. The round-up and mass deportation flights operation would cost more $88 billion (£68.4 billion) for one million people, or a total of $968 billion for all 11 million, according to a report by research firm the American Immigration Council. Stephen Miller, Trump’s former immigration tsar and senior adviser, has outlined plans to construct detention facilities capable of holding 50,000 to 70,000 people as an interim solution. The cost of detaining migrants en masse would be higher still, not to mention the economic cost of lost labour for American businesses. Trump’s team has argued the expense “pales in comparison” to the burden on the state for processing, housing and providing social services to migrants who have recently entered the US. in Congress will look to fund a substantial , which would include completion of his signature wall. His immigration policy includes a vow to reinstate his so-called “Muslim travel ban” that barred people from several Muslim-majority countries. He said earlier this year: “We will seal our border and bring back the travel ban. “Remember the famous travel ban? We didn’t take people from certain areas of the world,” he said, adding that it would be extended to include refugees from Gaza. “We’re not taking them from infested countries.” Trump has also vowed to challenge the principle of birthright citizenship, which under the 14th Amendment, grants automatic citizenship to the children of immigrants. Trump’s plans to test the power of the presidency beyond any modern precedent extend to a of the government. He plans to use sweeping executive orders to replace thousands of career civil servants with political appointees who have been vetted to ensure they subscribe to his political ideology. This would be done by reviving a 2020 executive order, known as Schedule F, which would strip federal employees of their job protection. It could impact as many as 50,000 civil servants. Swathes of the department of justice (DoJ), including much of the FBI, would be done away with, while the department of education would be abolished. A top priority for a second Trump White House and his GOP allies in Congress is to extend his signature legislative achievement: . As things stand, the legislation – the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act – is set to expire at the end of 2025. Trump has also proposed widespread changes to taxation, including extending the child tax credit, bringing back the deduction for state and local taxes (Salt) and cutting companies’ corporate tax rate for domestic production. He has also promoted exemptions to income tax, such as ending taxes on social security and tipped wages, and said he backed a total end to income tax, although he has given no firm commitment to doing so. Trump has summarised his energy policy with the catchphrase “drill, baby, drill”. It involves a widespread resumption in oil and gas licensing and halting offshore wind energy projects, which he claims “kill” whales and birds, “on day one” in the White House. Trump has also vowed to end green tax credits and subsidies. Trump plans to dramatically ramp up the protectionist trade policies of his first term, threatening a tariff of more than 10 per cent on all foreign imports. Tariffs on Chinese imports could be as high as 100 per cent. Mexico and Canada will face a 25 per cent tariff. He said he believed it would redress a trade imbalance and unfair practices by other countries who were “stealing” the US’s jobs and wealth. Trump said China was the leading culprit, but described India, Brazil, France and other European nations as “very difficult to deal with on trade”. He dismissed suggestions that the policies , framing it as “reciprocal” action that would return jobs to the US. The president-elect has pledged to impose a 25 per cent tariff on all goods coming in from Canada and Mexico. For Trump, one of the most alluring powers of the presidency is its oversight of the department of justice. Seizing control of the department, and stocking it full of his allies, will be vital to both his personal and political agenda. The four-times indicted president-elect will take office as a defendant in two federal criminal cases brought by the prosecutor Jack Smith. The independent special counsel has been pursuing Trump for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election and accusations he mishandled classified documents. Mr Smith has announced that he has dropped all federal charges against the president-elect. In the run-up to the presidential election, Trump told the radio host Hugh Hewitt that if he regained the White House, he would fire Mr Smith “within two seconds”. The DoJ’s tradition of political independence has been a hallmark of the post-Watergate era, but Trump predicted to Hewitt that he would not face any repercussions for intervening. “I don’t think they’ll impeach me if I fire Jack Smith,” he said. Trump has also pledged to exercise control over the DoJ by securing the pardon or release of convicted rioters serving sentences for their roles in the Jan 6 2021 attack on the Capitol. Trump has not ruled out instructing federal prosecutors to instigate legal proceedings against or fire . “It would depend on the situation,” he said. Asked whether he would go after Joe Biden and his family, the Republican said he would be “inclined not to do it”. But he later added: “Biden, I am sure, will be prosecuted for all of his crimes, because he’s committed many crimes,” without specifying exactly what these were. He would do away with “Title lX” protections for transgender students, protecting them from discrimination. “We’re going to end it on Day 1,” he said in May. “Don’t forget, that was done as an order from the president. That came down as an executive order. And we’re going to change it — on Day 1 it’s going to be changed.” He has also pledged to cut federal funding from any school “pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content onto the lives of our children”. The president-elect, via his press secretary, has said he would bring both sides together “on day one” to settle the conflict.3 recipes to help you through the busy holiday seasonWith Trump on the way, advocates look to states to pick up medical debt fight

From to a close encounter with wildlife, Chris and Janelle Griffith have crammed a lot of adventure into the past few years. or signup to continue reading The newcomers to caravanning decided to try several years ago. Chris said the couple had thought of buying some sort of camping vehicle, but weren't sure where to start. Through rental service Camplify, they have been able to trial a range of vehicles, giving them a taste of various holiday adventures. The Griffiths have been on five trips, travelling in camper vans, caravans, off-road campers, and motor homes. They have lived it up on Noosa's north shore, made friends with the grey nomads at the popular Gympie Muster, indulged in wine and apples at Stanthorpe and had a run-in with a venomous snake in the Southern Downs. Chris listed the Gympie Muster as the pair's favourite adventure to date. Taking place in the Gympie hinterlands each August, the muster is one of the biggest country music festivals in Australia and a hot ticket for grey nomads. While the weather was a little cold, Chris said the couple were taken by the warmth and sense of community. They would go out and enjoy the music, then gather around a campfire with friends late at night. "We were in awe of how friendly everybody was," he said. "It was a wonderful, wonderful time." To date, there have been no camping mishaps beyond a bit of a "wet bum" following a storm in Stanthorpe. Although the couple did get a little too close for comfort to a red-bellied blacksnake while exploring Main Range National Park in the Southern Downs. For those heading out on their first caravanning adventure, Chris advised doing some homework to figure out what type of vehicle you will need for the adventure you want to enjoy. He said it was important to investigate whether camping facilities had their own amenities or travellers would require vans with showers and bathrooms. Another consideration is how much water you will need and how much storage space is required. Then there is the question of which type of vehicle is best suited to the adventure you are planning. Chris said motor homes were great for people who planned to visit one site and set down anchor, but those planning to visit numerous sites may want a vehicle with an easier-to-pack-up setup. For those planning a caravan trip, it is important to do your homework on how much weight your vehicle can safely tow. He said in one instance he had to change his booking because he booked a caravan without realising its weight was above his towing limit. Last but not least, he advised those renting a caravan or vehicle to make sure they paid for insurance. "Backing up with a caravan is...something to get used to. "It's a little bit extra, but it's peace of mind." Camplify offers a wide range of vehicles and caravans for rent, more than a third of them can be hired for less than $100 a day, plus insurance.

Advertisement AdvertisementParis Hilton came up with the idea for a pet grooming collection while drawing out ideas in her notebook. "I constantly think about how to improve on the products that I love to use every day," the lifelong pet lover says. "I thought, why shouldn't my pups have the same luxurious, spa-like experience, too? I knew I wanted a line of products that would be good for sensitive skin and create soft, silky hair . . . perfect for snuggling." The result is a 20-piece line available on Amazon that's priced from $16 to $18 and includes vegan, vet recommended, sulfate- and paraben-free formulas for pampering — from odor sprays and no-rinse shampoos to fragrance-infused serums. Hilton's particularly excited about the pre-blowout treatment and paw cream. "It's like a SLIVING spa day for your pets. And why not? They totally deserve it." Hilton notes that all the scents used are light, for more sensitive noses, but it's no surprise that she branded many of the spritzes with flavors like apple blossom, bergamot, lavender, cucumber melon, and sweet pea and vanilla. "I have a childhood obsession with perfume !" she admits, continuing, "I have over 30 of my own signature scents, and that's why the scents for my pet products are so important to me." The pet line is just one of Hilton's many projects. She also visits her studio to work on music, models in photo shoots, and champions causes for children in Washington D.C. "I prioritize my family, of course. I may be jet-setting on SLIV AIR, but you'll always see me with the kids in matching jammies and enjoying our time together. My days are never the same, and that's what I love," she says. Ahead, Hilton discusses the five products she uses most frequently in her daily life, from hot pink tech gadgets to beauty devices that prove her appreciation for skin care. Paris Hilton's Investment Must Have Hilton describes the Motorola Razr+ in Magenta ($976) as sleek. "I'm always multitasking, working on the business, writing for my music, and grabbing pics of products I love, and, of course, candids of the kids," she says. The Android device comes equipped with 256 GB of memory storage space, and the screen size measures just about seven inches. The phone is touted as having the largest, most advanced external display for a flip phone. Paris Hilton's Affordable Must Have "My pink air fryer is one of my go to busy mom items," Hilton says of the Paris Hilton 6-Quart Air Fryer ($49, originally $80), which comes with a touchscreen display and can accomplish eight different cooking methods. "With the push of a button I can have anything from a pizza to a cheesecake ready. And it's healthy, too." Hilton's device has a nonstick basket and the pieces are even dishwasher-safe. Paris Hilton's Morning Routine Must Have Hilton prioritizes skin care in her morning routine, depending on the Skin Skulpt Plasma Skin Perfector ($499) for its cold plasma technology that rejuvenates the skin, minimizes pores and blemishes, and tightens and firms skin — according to the brand. "I use it daily. It feels rejuvenating and helps product absorb really deep," she says, as one of the celebrities known for touting the device for its quality. Paris Hilton's Travel Must Have Hilton describes the Sketchboard Pro 2 iPad Art Stand ($129) as the "perfect way to let your inner creator run wild." It essentially transforms your iPad into a sheet of paper, creating a smooth drawing surface in either landscape, portrait orientation, or vertically like an easel — whatever is most comfortable for you. The magnetic legs and reinforced steel sockets allow for 20- to 72-degree standing angles, and the cradle locks your device firmly in place. Hilton says, "I'm always sketching ideas in my notebook," which is how she came up with the ideas for her new pet care line. "I think you should put a little sparkle in everything you do . . . so you'll see me using fun, colorful markers in my idea notebook in meetings. Never be boring." Paris Hilton's Sleep Must Have The Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask ($13, originally $19) is a bestseller, with nearly 8,000 reviews on Amazon. It starts out as an opaque mask that has a silicone-like feel, but you keep it on overnight, and in the morning it's transparent and ready to be peeled off. It's known to be extremely hydrating. "I love all things skin care. It's so important to have a routine, and face masks are a perfect little bit of me time," Hilton says.

NoneNoneFederal wildlife officials proposed Tuesday that monarch butterflies receive protection as a threatened species. The flashy orange and black butterflies, which flutter forth each year on an epic migration that spans thousands of miles and multiple generations, are found from coast to coast in the United States during warmer months. Despite precipitous declines, they are still prevalent enough that, if the proposal goes through, they would become the most commonly seen species to receive federal protection. That means officials are walking a tightrope with the proposal. Restrict too few activities that harm monarchs, and officials risk creating a merely symbolic listing that does little to stave off further declines. Restrict too many, and they could trigger a political backlash. Tight rules could also backfire by dissuading people from creating butterfly habitat on their property because the presence of a protected species could expose them to liability. “There aren’t that many species where everyday people in their backyard can do something to help an endangered species,” said Jake Li, who leads efforts to list endangered species at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “That’s, to me, one thing that makes monarchs so different and why we want to put a heavier thumb on the scale of incentives for people to help us conserve the species.” The fate of the proposal will ultimately depend on the new administration in Washington. Under Donald Trump’s first presidency, wildlife officials found that monarchs met the criteria for listing under the Endangered Species Act, but they were not placed under protection because other species were deemed to have priority. There is some debate among scientists over the status of North American monarchs and what is driving observed declines in wintertime populations. To assess the species, a team of federal biologists reviewed hundreds of studies and conducted their own modeling, said Kelly Nail, a biologist with the Fish and Wildlife Service who helped lead the effort. The team estimated that over the next 60 years, North American monarchs east of the Rocky Mountains have a 56% to 74% probability of hitting the point where extinction appears inevitable. For those to the west, that probability was 99%. The primary drivers affecting the butterflies, the assessment found, were the loss and degradation of breeding, migratory and overwintering habitat; exposure to insecticides; and the effects of climate change. “It’s not any one of those in particular; it’s these key threats working in combination with each other that we think are causing this decline,” Nail said. Wildlife officials, conservationists and many monarch scientists are calling on the public to help by planting food for monarchs: native milkweeds, which the caterpillars rely on, and a variety of other native flowers that bloom throughout the warmer months to offer nectar for the adult butterflies. Tropical milkweed is best avoided, experts say, especially in areas where it does not die back during the winter, luring monarchs to keep breeding instead of migrating. The proposal punts on action related to pesticide use, asking for public comment on what measures are warranted. Activities like ranching, agricultural work and gardening are protected by language that allows for the management of milkweed and nectar plants, even though it could result in monarch deaths. The proposal does not allow killing monarchs for the conversion of natural grasslands, shrublands or forest without a permit, a condition that could lead to restrictions on developers. The danger to monarchs, scientists agree, is not global extinction. Populations of the species exist in the wild outside their native North American range; they’ve been introduced by people or blown by winds to places as distant as Hawaii, Spain and Australia. What’s at stake is their remarkable migration, which can span up to 3,000 miles between overwintering grounds in central Mexico and summer breeding grounds into Canada. If the migration collapses, the butterflies would likely persist in certain areas of the southern United States, several scientists said, but their numbers would be greatly diminished. In 2022, the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List, the scientific authority on the status of species, announced that it had listed the migratory monarch as endangered but later reclassified it as vulnerable, a less acute category. Canada listed the species as endangered in December 2023. In Mexico, it has a status of “special protection.” (BEGIN OPTIONAL TRIM.) Greg Mitchell, a research scientist with the Canadian government who studies monarchs, visited their overwintering grounds in Mexico last year, where he expected to see butterflies coating the trees. Instead, he said he found himself in what felt like “an empty cathedral.” “I’ve been two previous times and seen millions, the tree branches drooping,” Mitchell said. Last year, he didn’t see a single cluster. “It was devastating,” he said. The winter count would turn out to be the second lowest on record, apparently driven by hot, dry conditions in the United States and Canada that reduced the quality of milkweed and nectar plants. The monarch’s return to Mexico each year holds great cultural significance among Indigenous communities there, where the butterflies are associated with visiting ancestors, said Rebeca Quiñonez-Piñón, who works on monarch recovery at the National Wildlife Federation. “Losing the migration means losing deep-rooted traditions, and that’s huge,” Quiñonez-Piñón said. (END OPTIONAL TRIM.) Some monarch researchers say concerns for the species, and even the migration, are overblown. Insect populations tend to fluctuate sharply, they note, and monarchs have bounced back from alarmingly low numbers before. Butterfly survey data from the summer breeding grounds don’t show the sharp drops observed in the overwintering zones. And those winter counts don’t include populations of butterflies that aren’t part of the migration but could rejoin one day, said Anurag Agrawal, a professor of ecology at Cornell University. But other monarch scientists are not reassured. Nonmigratory populations have higher rates of disease. Data from the summer counts may be biased because of where it’s collected, they say. And even if the species has rebounded during the summer so far, the butterflies are only as strong as their weakest links.
