The New Statesman’s A-Z of 2024The family of a Palestinian doctor arrested during an Israeli raid on a hospital in northern Gaza fear for his safety after he was detained over the weekend. Israel has claimed 15 Palestinians it arrested in and around the crippled Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza over the weekend were involved in Hamas's deadly October 7 terrorist attacks. The World Health Organization (WHO) has revealed the hospital, which was already struggling to remain open, is no longer operational as a result of the latest raid and the detention of key medical staff. Among those arrested was the hospital's director, Dr Hussam Abu Safiya. The Israeli military said Hamas militants were operating from Kamal Adwan and those arrested were suspected militants. It said Dr Hussam had been taken for questioning as he was suspected of being a Hamas operative. "Our father is currently suffering from extreme cold," Dr Hussam's family said in a statement. "Many of you have heard from released eyewitnesses about the conditions he has faced, including being forced to remove his clothing and medical coat, which were used to make him a human shield. "We appeal to every compassionate individual and all international organizations and institutions to take action." Dr Hussam had made repeated public pleas for support, in videos posted to social media. "His dedication continued after the military operation in North Gaza, which followed a siege lasting 84 days," his family said. "During this time, he faced the harshest trials, including hunger, oppression, bombardment, and threats, all for the sake of the patients. "Tragically, he lost his beloved son, Ibrahim, who was also severely injured. It is important to note that Dr Hussam is still affected by his injuries to this day." The dire situation facing the Kamal Adwan Hospital is emblematic of serious fears about Gaza's health infrastructure, with many hospitals and medical facilities knocked out of action during the now 14-month-long conflict between Israel and Hamas. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has repeatedly claimed Kamal Adwan was a stronghold for Hamas militants, in its justification for continued attacks on the facility and its surrounds. In a statement, the IDF said it killed 20 terrorists during its raid on the area, and arrested 240 terrorists from Hamas and Islamic Jihad — taking them to Israel for further interrogation. "Among the terrorists, 15 were identified as having infiltrated Israeli territory and participated in the October 7th Massacre," it said. More than 1,000 Israelis died when Hamas launched its attacks, according to Israeli tallies. Israeli media reporting Kamal Adwan will not be allowed to reopen Earlier, the IDF released vision it insisted showed a number of weapons found inside Kamal Adwan. The ABC has not been able to independently verify the IDF's claims. Israel does not allow media into Gaza, except in limited and tightly controlled circumstances when embedded with military personnel. The IDF labelled its raid on Kamal Adwan as "one of the largest operations to apprehend terrorists conducted in a single location since the beginning of the war". "Several terrorists attempted to pose as patients, with some even hiding in ambulances," it claimed. "However, they were identified by IDF soldiers and apprehended." The Kamal Adwan has been at the centre of Israel's intense bombardment of northern Gaza, which intensified in October. As Israeli soldiers stormed the facility over the weekend, hospital staff said they set fire to operating theatres — something the IDF denied. Israeli newspaper Haaretz is reporting the IDF will not allow Kamal Adwan to reopen, wanting to direct patients to other facilities in northern Gaza — such as the Indonesian Hospital. Its operations have also been threatened due to ongoing military activity. The ABC has contacted the IDF for comment. The Gaza Health MInistry says more than 45,000 Palestinians have been killed since the current conflict was sparked by the Hamas-led terror attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. Israeli strike on Hamas fighters in another hospital On Sunday, the IDF launched what it described as a "precise strike" on Hamas fighters at another hospital. It targeted the Al Wafa Hospital in Gaza City, where it said members of Hamas's air defence unit were operating. Local health authorities said seven people were killed in the strike, and more were wounded. The IDF insisted the building was no longer functioning as a hospital. ABC

Asda announces huge change in store but not all shoppers will love itFormer CIA Operations officer Laura Ballman says the mysterious drone sightings are 'extremely unsettling' as the public seeks answers on 'Fox News Live.' Drones sightings across New Jersey have unsettled residents for weeks with no official explanations being offered. Ballman argued that circumstances around the drone sightings suggest it may be a U.S. operation. "Deducing the statements from [National Security spokesman] John Kirby that these drones are not operating illegally, coupled with several op-eds that have been out there in the last 24 hours about the need to look at our detection systems, makes me think perhaps this is actually a classified exercise to test either evasion technology or detection technology in urban areas," Ballman said. Ballman went on to say she would be "shocked" if the drones were related to the CIA, saying it is "not their mandate to operate in the United States." She added that she is "troubled" by why the U.S. government has not been forthcoming with information regarding... Anders Hagstrom
The college football world is still chiming in on the College Football Playoff committee’s decision to take 11-2 SMU over 9-3 Alabama. Paul Finebaum was front and center Monday, declaring Alabama got “jobbed.” The SEC Network analyst was also quick to point out, however, the Tide didn’t help itself with the loss at Oklahoma. “The biggest problem this committee had is that Warde Manuel, the athletic director at Michigan, got up on Tuesday night and completely blew it,” Finebaum said on Get Up, per On3 . “He said things that committee chairman never say. And by the way, I appreciate him being transparent, but he put a roadblock up, and he essentially said, what you what you alluded to. And the reason why that committee went the direction there are people that represent college football and to make it easy for the audience, the college championship games bring in 10s, if not hundreds of millions of dollars, and they would have in essence, issued a Supreme Court ruling saying they are null and void. “So, Alabama got jobbed. But again, Alabama did it to themselves. So they preserved the conference championship games at least for another year. They’re not going to be around long. You and I both know that.” The selection committee preferred the Mustangs, losers in the ACC title game, who had a far less difficult schedule than Alabama of the SEC but one fewer loss.

It was a busy day for the Winnipeg Jets organization alongside their minor league affiliates. The Winnipeg Jets announced today that they’ve reassigned forward Brad Lambert to the Manitoba Moose. The Jets also recalled forward Nikita Chibrikov from the Moose. The Moose recalled Graham Sward, who was reassigned to Norfolk on Friday, December 6th. Jets Recall Chibrikov, Reassign Lambert The 21-year-old Chibrikov currently leads the Moose with 13 points (5G, 8A) in 19 games this season. He has 60 points (22G, 38A) in 89 career AHL games all with the Moose. The Moscow, Russian-born player was a second-round draft pick (50th overall) by the Winnipeg Jets in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. His 2023-24 campaign saw him post 47 points (17G, 30A) in 70 games. His 30 assists tied him for third on the Moose. In the Moose’s two AHL Calder Cup Playoff games, he scored one goal. Chibrikov was last on the Winnipeg Jets roster for the Jets’ April 18th, 2024 game against the Vancouver Canucks where he scored his first career NHL goal in his Winnipeg Jets and NHL debut. Lambert, who was recalled on Tuesday, December 3rd, appeared in four NHL games while averaging 12:44 TOI. He didn’t register a point, but he had many great chances to score his first career NHL goal while he was up with the Jets. The 20-year-old product from Lahti, Finland ranks third on the Moose in scoring. He’s amassed 11 points (3G, 8A) in 16 games. His 55 points (21G, 34A) in 64 games last season earned him a spot on the 2024 AHL All-Rookie Team. The former first-round draft selection (30th overall) by the Jets in 2022 was last recalled by the Jets alongside Nikita Chibrikov on April 18th, 2024. Lambert did not score, but he did record an assist in that appearance. Moose Recall Graham Sward from Norfolk Graham Sward’s flights per 60 could get pretty high this season. Sward has four assists in 14 games with Norfolk this season. The 21-year-old defenseman played 250 career WHL games where he posted 180 points (33G, 147A) for the Wenatchee Wild, Spokane Chiefs, and Winnipeg ICE. Sward, a former fifth-round draft selection (146th overall) by the Nashville Predators in 2022, has yet to suit up for an AHL contest this season. The Moose are on the road for four games, first in Calgary for a pair of games against the Wranglers starting on Tuesday and ending in Abbotsford on Sunday, Dec 15th.

WASHINGTON: Donald Trump learned a long time ago that photo opportunities could get him attention and that slapping his name on everything from skyscrapers to steaks could make him money. As a second-time presidential candidate and now the president-elect, he is marrying the two concepts faster than ever, tying the high-profile visuals of his political life to perfumes, watches, sneakers and digital trading cards. Everything around Trump has become something to monetize, including a moment of comity with Jill Biden, the first lady, at Notre Dame over the weekend. “Here are my new Trump Perfumes & Colognes!” Trump wrote on social media Sunday, along with a picture of his interaction with the faintly smiling first lady. “I call them Fight, Fight, Fight, because they represent us WINNING. Great Christmas gifts for the family.” Under the photo was another caption, an apparent dig at Biden: “A FRAGRANCE YOUR ENEMIES CAN’T RESIST!” Trump, in essence, used a civil moment with the first lady, a frequent critic, to sell fragrances that are “curated to capture the essence of success and determination,” according to the perfume website.

(Trump still maintained more 50 licensing deals in his name, according to an analysis by The Washington Post.) This time, there is no such presumption of distance, only the churn of a conveyor belt spitting out one Trump product after another. On Monday, officials working for Trump did not immediately reply to a question about whether Trump would continue promoting products after being sworn in. With weeks until he takes office, Trump is capitalizing on the attention of his election victory, hawking fragrances and footwear to supporters who are in the mood to celebrate. There have been $299 “Trump Crypto President” sneakers on offer, along with $119 “Victory” cologne and $299 “First Lady” shoes. There is little information available about what materials the products are made from or where they are manufactured. And according to the products’ website, sales are final. When Trump ran in 2016, several of his branded products sold through the Trump Organization were made overseas, including sport coats made in India, suits made in Mexico and neckties made in China — business practices that were and are at odds with his current embrace of tariffs against economic competitors like Beijing. Trump’s daughter Ivanka was also criticized for selling products manufactured overseas. Trump does not appear to be a manufacturer of the perfumes, watches, sneakers and other items he has lent his name to. The playbook goes like this: Trump creates companies that function like bank accounts, allowing the people or companies making the products to pay him royalties for the cost of licensing his name. On his 2023 financial disclosure form, for example, a company Trump owns called “CIC Ventures LLC” reported income of $4.5 million for a book published by conservative publishing company Winning Team, which is owned, in part, by his son Donald Trump Jr. Also according to the disclosure, the elder Trump made $300,000 from a licensing partnership with LMA Productions, a company that produced a Bible endorsed by “God Bless the USA” singer Lee Greenwood. But unlike some of Trump’s earlier efforts, the identities of his current merchandise business partners are shielded through the creation of limited liability companies, which are structured to allow those partners to remain anonymous. At least two of the companies selling recently created Trump products were formed in Wyoming, a state home to strict privacy laws that shield the identities of LLC owners. 45Footwear, the company behind the $499 “Trump Won” sneakers and the “Fight Fight Fight” fragrances, was set up in January by Cloud Peak, a law firm based in Sheridan, Wyoming, that has formed more than 100,000 such businesses around the world. In July, Cloud Peak also set up a Sheridan-based LLC called TheBestWatchesOnEarth, which hawks gold-plated watches. For $899, supporters can buy one with an etching of the president-elect’s face. Reporters who have visited the Sheridan addresses for those companies have reported finding rural strip malls or buildings populated by unrelated businesses. Jordan Libowitz, vice president of communications for Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, said that this practice posed several ethical issues. “It’s a bit of a black box where the money’s coming in from,” he said, adding that people hoping to influence Trump could dump money toward one of his products. “We worry a lot about all the time he spends at Mar-a-Lago, around people trying to influence policy,” Libowitz said. “You show up and show him like, ‘Hey, I spent $100,000 on Trump watches.’ That’s going to get his attention.” Another concern is the speed and frequency with which Trump has unveiled new products before he assumes the presidency in just over a month. Without more information from the president-elect and his team, there is no way to know if Trump will try to monetize big moments in his presidency and where the money to produce those goods will come from. “Whatever norms he was responsive to before,” Libowitz said, “he does not seem particularly interested in them now.” (This article originally appeared in The New York Times) (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel )
One of the country's largest health insurers reversed a change in policy Thursday after widespread outcry, saying it would not tie payments in some states to the length of time a patient went under anesthesia. Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield said in a statement that its decision to backpedal resulted from "significant widespread misinformation" about the policy. "To be clear, it never was and never will be the policy of Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield to not pay for medically necessary anesthesia services," the statement said. "The proposed update to the policy was only designed to clarify the appropriateness of anesthesia consistent with well-established clinical guidelines." Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield would have used "physician work time values," which is published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, as the metric for anesthesia limits; maternity patients and patients under the age of 22 were exempt. But Dr. Jonathan Gal, economics committee chair of the American Society for Anesthesiologists, said it's unclear how CMS derives those values. In mid-November, the American Society for Anesthesiologists called on Anthem to "reverse the proposal immediately," saying in a news release that the policy would have taken effect in February in New York, Connecticut and Missouri. It's not clear how many states in total would have been affected, as notices also were posted in Virginia and Colorado . People across the country registered their concerns and complaints on social media, and encouraged people in affected states to call their legislators. Some people noted that the policy could prevent patients from getting overcharged. Gal said the policy change would have been unprecedented, ignored the "nuanced, unpredictable human element" of surgery and was a clear "money grab." "It's incomprehensible how a health insurance company could so blatantly continue to prioritize their profits over safe patient care," he said. "If Anthem is, in fact, rescinding the policy, we're delighted that they came to their senses." Prior to Anthem's announcement Thursday, Connecticut comptroller Sean Scanlon said the "concerning" policy wouldn't affect the state after conversations with the insurance company. And New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said in an emailed statement Thursday that her office had also successfully intervened. The insurance giant's policy change came one day after the CEO of UnitedHealthcare , another major insurance company, was shot and killed in New York City.The network of fake online profiles targeting Israeli society
In his victory speech following the official declaration of his election as president-elect, John Dramani Mahama expressed his commitment to prioritizing the needs of Ghanaians and implementing vital reforms to restore the country’s stability and progress. Mahama acknowledged the significant challenges ahead but stressed the importance of collective effort in overcoming them. “We should not forget the people of Ghana,” he said passionately, emphasizing that the road to recovery would not be easy. “The outgoing government has plunged the nation into an abyss, but we will implement the necessary governance reforms to rebuild.” Mahama called for unity and collaboration among the nation’s leaders, both newly elected and re-elected, urging them to work together for the greater good of the country. “The one we serve is Mother Ghana,” he stated, highlighting the need for an inclusive, cooperative approach to governance. The president-elect’s remarks reflected a clear focus on tackling urgent national issues, including revitalizing the economy, improving governance, and addressing ongoing social challenges. Mahama’s administration is expected to make governance reforms a priority to strengthen the political and economic systems. As Ghanaians look forward to a new chapter under Mahama’s leadership, his message of unity and determination serves as a rallying cry for all citizens to come together and work towards the nation’s future prosperity.BMS-986446 is a monoclonal antibody commercialized by , with a leading Phase II program in Alzheimer’s Disease. According to Globaldata, it is involved in 3 clinical trials, of which 1 was completed, and 2 are ongoing. Smarter leaders trust GlobalData The gold standard of business intelligence. The revenue for BMS-986446 is expected to reach an annual total of $7 mn by 2040 in the US based off GlobalData’s Expiry Model. The drug’s revenue forecasts along with estimated costs are used to measure the value of an investment opportunity in that drug, otherwise known as net present value (NPV). Applying the drug’s phase transition success rate to remaining R&D costs and likelihood of approval (LoA) to sales related costs provides a risk-adjusted NPV model (rNPV). The rNPV model is a more conservative valuation measure that accounts for the risk of a drug in clinical development failing to progress. BMS-986446 Overview BMS-986446 is under development for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and mild tauopathies. The drug candidate act by targeting microtubule binding region (MTBR) of tau and targets both 3R and 4R tau isoforms. It is administered through subcutaneous route.

X owner Elon Musk has delivered a brutal takedown of an Australian newspaper, predicting they will lose their readership over “relentless lying”. The hit targeted Nine Entertainment’s Sydney Morning Herald after it published an opinion piece on Sunday featuring a prediction that irked the billionaire. The outlet published an article by technology editor David Swan in which he shared his predictions for the industry in 2025. One prediction was that Mr Musk would leave electric car manufacturer Tesla to focus on Government work with US President-elect Donald Trump. Mr Swan suggested that the world’s richest man would have too much on his plate. “To be juggling leadership roles at X (formerly Twitter), Tesla, SpaceX, xAI, the Boring Company and Neuralink was already unsustainable,” the SMH article read. “Musk now has wormed his way into Trump’s inner circle, and will jointly lead the president-elect’s DOGE – Department of Government Efficiency – in a bid to slash billions in government expenditure. “After constant controversies and distractions, it will all come to a head in 2025, and Musk will be forced to hand over the reins at Tesla, a company many mistakenly think he founded.” The prediction over Mr Musk’s resignation was not appreciated by the world’s richest man. Replying to a screenshot of the opinion piece, Mr Musk delivered his own prediction for 2025, aimed directly at the publisher of the article. “I predict that the Sydney Morning Herald will continue to lose readership in 2025 for relentlessly lying to their audience and boring them to death Mr Musk’s smackdown was shared with his 209 million followers on the X social media platform. “Easy prediction to make, any legacy media continuing to lie to their readers will face significant decline,” one user added to Mr Musk’s prediction. “Australia, Ireland and the UK are stuck in the woke nightmare, and I feel for them,” said another. “They are becoming more and more irrelevant,” a third added. One user shared a screenshot of Nine Entertainment’s share price, which has been in decline since 2022. Back on the Sydney Morning Herald website, Mr Swan appeared to strike a chord with some readers. “I’d love to see Musk on a one-way trip to Mars and stop teaching me how to live my life,” one person commented. “Musk quits Tesla and becomes de facto President of the USA!” wrote another. Mr Musk agreed with one user commenting on his post who said that “legacy media is in a doom spiral”. Mr Swan appeared to brush off the attack on his own X profile, writing, “Damn, roasted” in a post accompanied by a retweet of Mr Musk’s clap back. However, the reaction to Mr Swan’s was split on his profile. “You need to frame this,” one wrote. “How about so-called journalists try and get their dignity back by not reporting lies and gearing the audience towards clickbait,” said another. The controversy ended a week that the Sydney Morning Herald may want to put behind them. On Friday, the newspaper issued an apology after incorrectly identifying Adelaide barrister Ian Roberts as the South Australian fatality in the Sydney to Hobart race. Mr Roberts was not killed in the tragic accident, instead, South Australian Nick Smith lost his life when he was struck by a boom during dangerous weather. “The Sydney Morning Herald incorrectly named Adelaide barrister Ian Roberts as one of the victims in the Sydney to Hobart yacht race,” the Sydney Morning Herald wrote. “This was incorrect. We apologise to Mr Roberts and his family.”
