Kalel Mullings and the Michigan Wolverines pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the 2024 college football season during Rivalry Week, defeating the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes 13-10 at Ohio Stadium in Columbus. After the game was tied a 10 apiece for a majority of the second half, Michigan made their way to the Ohio State three-yard line and made a go-ahead field goal with 45 seconds remaining. The Buckeyes had another chance to at least send the game to overtime but failed to move the ball down the field with their limited time, turning it over on downs. After the game, Michigan players celebrated by planting a flag with the team's logo in the middle of the Ohio State field. This caused a massive brawl to ensue, with players from both squads throwing punches and tossing each other to the turf. © Adam Cairns/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Although it appeared the Wolverines sparked the fight by planting their flag, Michigan running back Kalel Mullings had different ideas on who started it, assigning blame to the Buckeyes for not knowing "how to lose." "For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game," Mullings said. "That's just bad for the sport. Bad for college football. But at the end of the day... they gotta learn how to lose, man. You can't be fighting and stuff just cause you lost a game." Mullings went on to call the Ohio State players "classless" for their actions that led to the unfortunate scene. "We had 60 minutes, we had four quarters to do all that fighting, and now people want to talk and fight," Mullings added. "That's wrong. You know, it's just bad for the game. Classless, in my opinion. People got to be better." "You hate to see stuff like that after the game. It's just bad for the sport, bad for CFB... They gotta learn how to lose man. You can't be fighting." @JennyTaft speaks with Michigan's Kalel Mullings after a fight broke out between Ohio State and Michigan after the game ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/z6rmxu2YJQ Mullings, the senior out of West Roxbury, Massachusetts, was arguably the best player on the field in the rivalry game. He recorded 32 carries for 116 yards and the Wolverines' lone touchdown of the day. Mullings also nearly doubled the output of quarterback Davis Warren, who only threw for 62 yards. Michigan (7-5, 5-4 in Big 10 play) will enter its bowl game with an extra confidence boost. However, its chances to defend its national championship from a season ago are long gone. Meanwhile, Ohio State (10-2, 7-2 in Big 10 play) is likely out of the Big 10 Championship Game, barring a miracle. Still, the Buckeyes should be planning on a College Football Playoff appearance in the first year with a 12-team format.

Eight more spots in the playoff field have created two extra rounds to determine a national champion, which could come from the Big Ten, the Southeastern Conference or even the Mountain West! Now that the initial matchups are set, it's time to examine the FanDuel odds for the first-round games and, of course, the latest national championship odds. CFP Bracket: Odds for First-Round Games Oregon's win over Penn State in the Big Ten championship locked the Ducks into the No. 1 seed, while Georgia's overtime triumph over Texas for the SEC crown moved the Bulldogs up to No. 2. Boise State slotted in at No. 9 in the final CFP rankings but is the No. 3 seed thanks to its win over UNLV in the Mountain West championship. With SMU losing to Clemson in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game, No. 12-ranked Arizona State is the four seed after it throttled Iowa State to win the Big 12. The top four teams get a bye, with the 5-12 seeds meeting in the first round. 12-seed Clemson (+330) vs. 5-seed Texas (-11.5) Texas was favored to win the SEC and lock down a top-four seed, but Clemson was not expected to beat SMU for the ACC title. The Longhorns will therefore hunt redemption, while Dabo Swinney's team is essentially playing with house money. The winner will face Arizona State in the Peach Bowl. 9-seed Tennessee (+215) vs. 8-seed Ohio State (-7.5) The third-highest-ranked team from the SEC (No. 7 Tennessee) will face off with the third-highest-ranked squad from the Big Ten (No. 6 Ohio State). This game brings the Buckeyes a chance at redemption for their embarrassing loss to Michigan to end the regular season. The winner will travel to the Rose Bowl to play Oregon. 11-seed SMU (+240) vs. 6-seed Penn State (-7.5) Concerns over strength of schedule dog both teams. Both have 11-2 records and were runners-up in their respective conferences. Penn State's only win over a ranked opponent was against then-No. 19 Illinois in Week 4, while SMU has knocked off then-No. 22 Louisville and then-No. 18 Pittsburgh. The winner will meet Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl. 10-seed Indiana (+230) vs. 7-seed Notre Dame (-7.5) The Hoosiers may be the biggest surprise in college football this season, although their inclusion came with a few concerns over the strength of their schedule. After falling flat in a potential statement game against then-No. 2 Ohio State on Nov. 23, Indiana can prove its might against a Fighting Irish squad that won its last 10 games. The winner will take on Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. National Championship Odds and Picks Oregon was the betting favorite (odds via FanDuel) prior to the final rankings reveal at +230. Post-reveal, Texas and Georgia are co-favorites at +360, followed by Oregon at +380, Ohio State at +500 and Penn State at +600. Boise State is the biggest long shot at +7500 despite having a first-round bye. Like Boise State, Arizona State saw its odds go from +3500 to +6000 even though it doesn't play until the quarterfinals. The Picks are In... First-Round Best Bet: Indiana-Notre Dame UNDER 51.5-both teams have solid offenses but will find it difficult to move the ball against the other's defense. Upset Special: Clemson (+340) over Texas-Cade Klubnik will have his hands full against the Texas secondary, but the Clemson defense could be up for the challenge against Quinn Ewers and the Longhorns offense. National Championship Winner: Favorite-Oregon +380; Dark Horse-Notre Dame +1200; Long Shot-Arizona State +6000 --Field Level Media
Substitute Sveindís Jonsdottir has scored four second-half goals to put Wolfsburg into the quarter-finals of Women's Champions League with 6-1 thrashing of Roma. Jonsdottir came on in the 66th minute of Wednesday's home match with Wolfsburg leading 2-1 and needing to win by at least a two-goal margin to secure a spot in the knockout stage with one group game to spare. The Iceland forward quickly made sure of that, netting her first just two minutes later and completing a hat-trick by the 89th. She added one more in stoppage time. Alexandra Popp had given the hosts an early lead but Roma equalised in the 56th minute through Valentina Giacinti. Lineth Beerensteyn restored a one-goal advantage nine minutes later. Wolfsburg are second in Group A with nine points from five games, while already qualified eight-time champions Lyon clinched the top spot in the group by routing Galatasaray 6-0 away in Istanbul. Roma are third on six points with newcomer Galatasaray last on zero points. In Group B, Chelsea maintained a perfect record by thrashing Twente 6-1 while Real Madrid won 3-0 away at Celtic. Signe Bruun scored twice for Madrid, netting with a long-distance strike in the first half and adding her second with a close-range header in the second. Chelsea and Madrid had both already clinched quarter-final spots. Chelsea lead the group with 15 points, with Madrid three points behind. The two meet in Madrid next week to decide the group winner. Twente have three points and Celtic none.Understanding the science behind Hinton and Hopfield’s Nobel Prize in physics
NEW YORK — U.S. stock indexes got back to climbing on Wednesday after the latest update on inflation appeared to clear the way for more help for the economy from the Federal Reserve. The S&P 500 rose 0.8% to break its first two-day losing streak in nearly a month and finished just short of its all-time high. Big Tech stocks led the way, which drove the Nasdaq composite up 1.8% to top the 20,000 level for the first time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, meanwhile, lagged the market with a dip of 99 points, or 0.2%. Stocks got a boost as expectations built that Wednesday's inflation data will allow the Fed to deliver another cut to interest rates at its meeting next week. Traders are betting on a nearly 99% probability of that, according to data from CME Group, up from 89% a day before. If they're correct, it would be a third straight cut by the Fed after it began lowering rates in September from a two-decade high. It's hoping to support a slowing job market after getting inflation nearly all the way down to its 2% target. Lower rates would give a boost to the economy and to prices for investments, but they could also provide more fuel for inflation. "The data have given the Fed the 'all clear' for next week, and today's inflation data keep a January cut in active discussion," according to Ellen Zentner, chief economic strategist for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. Expectations for a series of cuts to rates by the Fed have been one of the main reasons the S&P 500 has set an all-time high 57 times this year, with the latest coming last week. The biggest boosts for the index on Wednesday came from Nvidia and other Big Tech stocks. Their massive growth has made them Wall Street's biggest stars for years, though other kinds of stocks have recently been catching up somewhat amid hopes for the broader U.S. economy. Tesla jumped 5.9% to finish above $420 at $424.77. It's a level that Elon Musk made famous in a 2018 tweet when he said he had secured funding to take Tesla private at $420 per share. Stitch Fix soared 44.3% after the company that sends clothes to your door reported a smaller loss for the latest quarter than analysts expected. It also gave financial forecasts for the current quarter that were better than expected, including for revenue. GE Vernova rallied 5% for one of the biggest gains in the S&P 500. The energy company that spun out of General Electric said it would pay a 25 cent dividend every three months, and it approved a plan to send up to another $6 billion to its shareholders by buying back its own stock. On the losing end of Wall Street, Dave & Buster's Entertainment tumbled 20.1% after reporting a worse loss for the latest quarter than expected. It also said CEO Chris Morris has resigned, and the board has been working with an executive-search firm for the last few months to find its next permanent leader. Albertsons fell 1.5% after filing a lawsuit against Kroger, saying it didn't do enough for their proposed $24.6 billion merger agreement to win regulatory clearance. Albertsons said it's seeking billions of dollars in damages from Kroger, whose stock rose 1%. A day earlier, judges in separate cases in Oregon and Washington nixed the supermarket giants' merger. The grocers contended a combination could have helped them compete with big retailers like Walmart, Costco and Amazon, but critics said it would hurt competition. After terminating the merger agreement with Kroger, Albertsons said it plans to boost its dividend 25% and increased the size of its program to buy back its own stock. Macy's slipped 0.8% after cutting some of its financial forecasts for the full year of 2024, including for how much profit it expects to make off each $1 of revenue. All told, the S&P 500 rose 49.28 points to 6,084.19. The Dow dipped 99.27 to 44,148.56, and the Nasdaq composite rallied 347.65 to 20,034.89. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.27% from 4.23% late Tuesday. The two-year Treasury yield, which more closely tracks expectations for the Fed, edged up to 4.15% from 4.14%. In stock markets abroad, indexes rose across much of Europe and Asia. Hong Kong's Hang Seng was an outlier and slipped 0.8% as Chinese leaders convened an annual planning meeting in Beijing that is expected to set economic policies and growth targets for the coming year. South Korea's Kospi rose 1%, up for a second straight day as it climbs back following last week's political turmoil where its president briefly declared martial law.Alphabet Inc.

Mother blasts 'insulting' sentence for teen driver who left her paralysed and unable to hug her son - saying she feels 'indescribable anger' towards 19-year-old who left her 'in a living nightmare' By SARAH RAINEY and LETTICE BROMOVSKY Published: 11:56, 30 November 2024 | Updated: 11:56, 30 November 2024 e-mail View comments A mother has blasted the 'insulting' sentence given to the teen driver who left her paralysed and unable to hug her son ever again. Catherine Davies, 51, was hit by 19-year-old George Taylor on January 18 2023 which caused her to suffer a catastrophic brain injury and irreparable spinal damage. The former fitness instructor is now unable to move from the neck down, she cannot breathe on her own, nor can she control her bladder or bowels, and she is fed through a tube as she can no longer eat or drink normally. Taylor had been using his phone at the wheel, despite only passing his test 12-weeks prior, when he smashed into Catherine's stationary car at a junction in East Tuddenham, Norfolk. This week he was jailed for just two years and two months, a punishment that Catherine, says is an 'insult' after his actions 'imprisoned her for life'. 'He took my whole life away and left me in a living nightmare,' said the mother-of-one through the technology she must now rely on to make herself heard. 'I understand he may only have to serve half the sentence, so will be free in a year's time to get on with his life, whereas I have been imprisoned for life.' Towards the man who took everything from her, she adds, she feels 'indescribable anger'. Catherine Davies was left with catastrophic brain injury and paralysed from the neck down after a horrific road accident caused by a speeding teenage driver using his mobile phone Catherine only just survived almost two years in hospital and a life-saving operation which fused her neck back together After almost two years in hospital and a life-saving operation which fused her neck back together, she is, remarkably, still here – but only just. She has a team of round-the-clock carers to dress, wash and change her and, due to damage to her vocal cords in the accident, uses an 'eye-gaze' machine (similar to that used by Stephen Hawking ) to communicate. Not only has she been robbed of the chance to hug her only child, but she can no longer say 'I love you' – an agony no mother should have to bear. The devastating repercussions of what happened, and how it shattered not only Catherine's life but the lives of everyone around her, cannot be overstated. She has lost the ability to run her beloved fitness business, been forced to leave the cottage where she lived with her son, and now faces a future stripped of all the things she used to love: city breaks, spa days with friends, windswept runs on the beach. Her partner at the time of the accident, with whom she was planning to buy a house, ended their relationship by text message shortly after it happened. To compound Catherine's misery further, her son's father, from whom she separated four years ago, isn't letting her see her son as much as she would like. 'There is,' she admits, 'very little pleasure left in my life now. 'I really miss the tactile side of being a mum and this destroys me. Understanding the nature of my injuries was absolutely terrifying. I cannot describe the fear. It was all-consuming. 'I was overwhelmed by extreme anxiety, consumed by what I'd lost and what was facing me. It was like mourning your own death.' Catherine and her family have, until now, not wanted to speak about their ordeal. Not only is it still raw, with Catherine suffering physical pain and daily fatigue from the accident, but communicating is extremely difficult. Though she retains limited, weak speech, she is able to get the words out only when the cuff on her tracheostomy – a direct opening to the windpipe to help air reach the lungs – is deflated, which depletes her oxygen, leaving her exhausted. However, with the help of her family, including her father, Jeremy, 76, a retired civil servant who has been by her side every minute of this unimaginable journey, she has bravely agreed to an interview, in the hope of warning others of the brutal impact dangerous driving can have. This time two years ago, Catherine recalls, she was happier than she'd ever been. Having studied hotel management in Norwich, she'd worked in fashion (including as a manager at Harrods and Jigsaw in London) before moving to P&O Cruises, working on ships around the Mediterranean and Caribbean, later qualifying as a fitness instructor. As well as running her own bootcamp fitness classes, she worked as an estate planning consultant. 'I was one of the top performers among my peers,' she says. 'I was working towards being promoted to a senior consultant. I loved my job and saw myself working there until retirement. 'I was an early riser, as my days were so full, working full-time and running evening fitness classes as well as looking after my son for half the week. I've always been an energetic and sociable person.' Catherine's son was born in 2014. She doesn't want to name him, nor does she want to identify his father, with whom she co-parents. 'I always wanted to be a mum and get great joy from it,' she says. 'My son is the most important person to me in the world. 'When [he] was with me, my time was focused on him, supporting with schoolwork and, in his free time, doing activities with him which were usually outside. 'We would go on walks, visit the beach and meet up with friends who had children of a similar age. My life was wonderful and going in the right direction.' On the morning of the accident in January 2023, Catherine was driving to a client meeting, having spent the previous night at her partner's house nearby. At 10.57am, she stopped her blue Skoda Fabia at a junction on the A47, where she was indicating to turn right towards East Tuddenham, a village north-west of Norwich. Catherine before the horror crash. As well as running her own bootcamp fitness classes, she worked as an estate planning consultant George Taylor pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving She didn't know it at the time, but George Taylor, a tractor driver from Stretham in Cambridgeshire, was driving his VW Golf dangerously along the road behind her, on his way to college. From 9.56am until he crashed, Taylor, then 17, used his phone nine times while driving, sending text messages, taking calls and making several horrifying videos showing himself steering with his knees, and overtaking other vehicles at speed. Having admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving, Taylor told Norwich Crown Court this week that he didn't see Catherine's car stopped in front of him at the junction. 'My phone was on the cup holder,' he said. 'I moved it over to get my vape and there was a loud bang. I went from 60mph to 0mph.' Catherine, who doesn't remember anything from that morning, went into cardiac arrest at the scene and was given CPR by a passing paramedic. She was then flown to Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital by air ambulance, where the extent of her injuries became clear. 'I don't recall the first few weeks, as I was not conscious,' Catherine explains now. 'My injuries were so serious that my family had been told I may not survive. 'I needed life-saving surgery to stabilise my neck, but my health was so unstable that the surgeons were reluctant to carry it out.' Indeed, Catherine's horrified family were told there was a 50:50 chance she would die during the operation, which involved inserting metal rods into her neck – but they felt it was the only option. Mercifully, it was a success and, from mid-February 2023, she was in a high-dependency unit, now conscious and trying desperately to come to terms with her new, awful reality. She found herself hooked up to all sorts of machines, breathing through a ventilator and unable to feel anything beyond the tops of her shoulders. 'My mind was racing with questions about all aspects of my life,' she says. 'How was I going to look after my son? How was I going to earn money and live? Knowing a machine is breathing for you is extremely scary. 'I was terrified of being alone in case something happened, as I can't move or call out for attention.' In late June, Catherine was transferred to a spinal unit in Sheffield, where, she says, she felt 'lonely' and 'very vulnerable'. Hundreds of miles from her family, who are in Devon – her mother died several years ago but her father lives there with his second wife and her daughter – she began to feel scared. Friends who had devised a rota to visit her stopped coming regularly, as it was too far. So did her son, whom she had been seeing twice a week. 'I spent many days alone, lying in bed, staring at the ceiling. I was very depressed, anxious and frightened.' A crowdfunding campaign, run by friends and family, raised more than £20,000 to buy the eye-gaze machine, so she could use eye movement to control a computer, communicate with her son and access social media. More funding has come from a civil compensation claim, which has, to date, paid privately for a psychologist, occupational therapist, speech and language therapy, physiotherapy and a personal case manager, who supports Catherine every day. But living with such complex needs is expensive and the family needs more. Their lawyers, Irwin Mitchell Solicitors, say it will be up to two years before the civil case is concluded and the full payout confirmed. Catherine stayed in hospital until June this year, when she was discharged to a rented house with a team of 24/7 carers, but it quickly became clear that her care was inadequate and she was readmitted, very unwell. Eventually, earlier this month, she was discharged for good. Today, home looks very different to the cottage where this houseproud, super-fit working mum used to live. With the help of her case manager, and several FaceTime property viewings, she found a barn for rent, which the landlord was happy to be adapted. 'The adaptations have included changing the bathroom to a wet room, having a hoist and ceiling track fitted so that I can be transferred from my bedroom to the bathroom, and having level-access patio doors and decking fitted so I can easily access the back garden,' she explains. Taylor, then 17, used his phone nine times while driving, sending text messages, taking calls and making videos Videos from Taylor showed him driving him at speed and overtaking other vehicles while using his steering wheel with his knees One of the text messages sent by Taylor while driving his VW Golf With the help of family, who visit regularly, and her tight-knit group of girlfriends, who have brought soft furnishings, flowers and lamps, she says it is starting to feel like home. 'I have chosen all the furniture, including a bespoke and very beautiful kitchen island that I can sit at in my wheelchair,' she says. A team of eight carers supports Catherine round the clock with every aspect of her daily routine. 'It takes several hours for me to be got up, toileted and washed,' she explains. 'I am fed through a tube [but] I can take a few teaspoons of water or coffee. 'My lungs need careful management with cough-assist machines and nebulisers. I require someone to regularly stretch my limbs and I need to be repositioned regularly to avoid pressure sores to my skin.' It is, truly heartbreaking to compare Catherine's existence today with her former life. Social media snaps show her smiling and laughing, on bike rides with her son and posing with friends after fitness challenges. She doesn't look her then 49 years, a youthfulness she attributes to looking after her figure and healthy eating. Today, her head resting on a pillow in her wheelchair, Catherine is no less beautiful, her long blonde hair neatly brushed, her cream blouse and trousers elegant and stylish. 'My appearance is very important to me,' she says. 'I love clothes and have always looked after myself.' She is, she says, 'beginning to accept this is my new reality' – and tries not to think of the man who did this to her. Taylor, who is expecting a child of his own in February, will serve his sentence in a young offender institution, and also faces a 40-month driving ban. His parents wrote a letter to the judge this week, apologising for what he did, insisting he is 'a good person'. Taylor himself turned to Catherine's family in court to express his regret. 'I wish I had never got a licence and never got a car,' he said. 'I cannot say anything more than sorry.' It is an apology Catherine is unlikely ever to accept. 'His moments of stupidity, driving while using a mobile phone, have changed my life and my family's lives for ever,' she says. Today, her main focus is her son, her ray of smiling sunshine, whom she longs to see more. 'He does visit me, but [this] is dependent on when his father has the time to bring him, which is far from as often as I would like to see him,' she says. 'I don't feel I see him enough and this is very upsetting for me. 'When we are together, it is usually only for a few hours, and we spend that time catching up about what he's doing at school and in his free time. 'We lie on my bed together and watch films, which gives me great comfort to have him near me.' Though she cannot hold him tight or easily tell him herself, Catherine is immensely proud of how well her son has dealt with her ordeal. 'He is amazing,' she adds. 'He always seems happy and cheerful and perfectly comfortable around me and all my equipment. 'I just wish I could see him more often and have him living with me. I am desperate to be his mum again.'

New Delhi, November 30: In a security scare, a man splashed some liquid on Arvind Kejriwal during his 'padyatra' in south Delhi's Malviya Nagar on Saturday, with AAP claiming that it was spirit and the "attacker" wanted to set the party supremo afire. While police said water was thrown at Kejriwal during the public event that was organised without their permission, the BJP strongly refuted Chief Minister Atishi's accusation that the accused was a worker of the saffron party. AAP lashed out at the BJP-led Centre for the incident and said this is the third "attack" on Kejriwal in the last 35 days. According to the police, the accused, identified as Ashok Jha, a serving bus marshal at Delhi Transport Corporation's Khanpur Depot, has been detained. "Further examination of the person is in progress to find out the reasons behind this act," a statement from the Delhi Police stated. Sources claimed that Jha (41), during interrogation, said that he was frustrated as he was not getting his salary for the past six months. Arvind Kejriwal Attacked During Padyatra in Delhi: Security Scare During AAP Leader's Rally, Man Detained for Throwing Liquid on Former CM in Malviya Nagar (Watch Videos) . Jha claimed that during the formation of AAP, he gave a donation to the party, but was upset with its "fake promises", the sources said. The AAP national convener was holding the padayatra in the Savitri Nagar area that falls under the Greater Kailash assembly segment. Police said that around 5.50 pm Kejriwal was shaking hands with some followers standing behind a cordon when Jha attempted to throw water on him. He was immediately caught as the police staff were nearby, they said. Kejriwal and the security personnel accompanying him were later seen wiping their faces. Proper police deployment, both in plain clothes along with rope party for crowd control and in uniform, was made, the statement said. At a press conference, Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj alleged that the man held for attacking Kejriwal had a matchbox in his hand. He claimed the liquid that fell on Kejriwal and him was spirit as they could smell it and an attempt was made to "burn him (Kejriwal) alive". "A man threw spirit on him. We could smell it and there was an attempt to burn him (Kejriwal) alive. The man was carrying spirit in one hand and a matchbox in the other hand. He threw spirit that fell on Kejriwal and me... but he could not start the fire. Our alert volunteers and the public caught him," he claimed. In a post on X, Bharadwaj also alleged that the attacker was connected with the BJP. Arvind Kejriwal Targeted in Attempted Liquid Attack During Padyatra in Delhi's Greater Kailash, Security Personnel Overpower Attacker (Watch Videos) . After the incident, Kejriwal targeted Union Home Minister Amit Shah, saying he should try to stop crime in Delhi instead of stalling his march. "Will crime in Delhi reduce if you stop me? Will shoot-outs in Delhi spot... will women and businessmen become safe...," he said on X. Chief Minister Atishi alleged that a BJP worker attacked Kejriwal and claimed the saffron party seems to be frustrated after losing the Delhi elections for a third time. "Today, in broad daylight, a BJP worker attacked @ArvindKejriwal ji. BJP is seen to be frustrated after losing the Delhi elections for the third time. BJP people, the public in Delhi will take revenge for such cheap acts. Last time, the BJP got eight seats, this time Delhi people will give BJP zero seats," she said in a post on X. AAP had earlier alleged that some "BJP goons" tried to attack Kejriwal during his padyatra in Vikaspuri in October. "Delhi is facing a complete breakdown of law and order under the BJP's rule," it said, adding that if the former chief minister is not safe in the national capital, where will the common man go? The Delhi Police comes under the purview of the Union home ministry. The BJP strongly refuted the AAP's accusations. Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said the incident of throwing "water" on Kejriwal was an old tactic of the AAP. "Delhiites are asking why such incidents happen with him only", he said. Party spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor said the BJP condemns any kind of violence. But as Delhi BJP chief earlier pointed out, a "demoralised" Kejriwal could plan something like this to claim an attack on him and that suspicion has now been proved, he said. AAP leaders hit out at the BJP for the incident. Its Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha said that Kejriwal raised his voice against the deteriorating law-and-order situation in Delhi on Friday, and he faced the "cowardly" attack the next day. "This is highly condemnable. There is no place for violence in democratic politics. Arvind Kejriwal has the blessings of crores of people," he said.

More info A Scots councillor is calling for action over off-road vehicles after his brother tragically died after being struck by a motorbike. David Gow, 79, passed away in February last year following a collision on Balmore Road in Glasgow. Since then, his son Craig has been advocating for stricter controls on off-road vehicles. Now, Allan Gow, an SNP councillor representing the city’s Canal ward, is urging Glasgow City Council to collaborate with both the Scottish and UK governments to address the issue. One proposed measure is a legal change to mandate the registration of off-road vehicles, a move that could improve “policing, identification, and enforcement.” “There will be other fatalities, there will be other accidents,” Cllr Gow said, adding the victims are not just those who are struck by vehicles. “Victims are often those riding the bikes. Their families are every bit as devastated. There’s a problem here.” As well as off-road motorbikes and quad bikes, his motion covers e-bikes and e-scooters, which police officers have told him can be “too powerful”. While e-bikes with low power batteries are legal, a “souped-up” battery can be bought online, Cllr Gow said. He added David’s son Craig has been “pushing politicians to see what can be done around off-road vehicles”. Former Glasgow North East MP Anne McLaughlin received cross-party support for a bill which would have made owners need to register their vehicles. The then UK Parliamentary under-secretary of state for transport had agreed to set up a task force to look at the issues caused by off-road vehicles.

But Cllr Gow said that commitment had fallen through with the change of government at Westminster. He added there have been talks with the new MP for Glasgow North, Martin Rhodes, who is “very keen to work with us”. Bob Doris MSP has also led a member’s debate at Holyrood on the subject, with the Scottish Government planning to establish a working group including Police Scotland and the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA). The motion asks Glasgow councillors to agree the council should join the group and do “what it can to assist in reducing the harms to communities and families”. While any law change is reserved to Westminster, Cllr Gow said the Holyrood group would look at what options were available in Scotland and could at least produce a “shopping list” for the UK Governmen t to consider. His motion states there are “significant public safety issues regarding the misuse of off-road vehicles, including motorbikes, quad bikes, e-scooters and e-bikes”, which are “being used dangerously, inappropriately and often illegally on roads, footpaths and various open spaces”. It adds this poses a “serious risk of injury and risk to life for those driving such vehicles, as well as others within the community” and can also lead to “nuisance, anti-social behaviour and damage”. Cllr Gow said rural voices must also be considered during the debate so it isn’t just “city boys and girls changing the law and making their lives more difficult”. Two men have been arrested and charged over the crash that killed David Gow. Speaking in the House of Commons earlier this year, Ms McLaughlin said he had been described as “a devoted family man, a loyal friend and a fiercely independent and extremely intelligent man” by his son, Craig.
