Brendan Rodgers praises Celtic and Cameron Carter-Vickers’ mentalityPressure is on the Albanese government to make headway on its long list of stalled legislation before the federal election. Housing will be back in spotlight during the final sitting week of 2024, with the Help to Buy government equity scheme and incentives for build-to-rent to be brought to a final vote in the Senate. The two housing bills have struggled to attract the support of the opposition or the Greens, with Labor knocking back fresh demands from the latter. Central to the Greens' updated position is funding for 25,000 "shovel-ready" homes not given the go-ahead under the first round of the Housing Australia Future Fund. Labor insists the demand is unlawful and would result in the construction of million-dollar homes that are not value for money. Greens housing spokesman Max Chandler-Mather said his party had designed "a compromise offer that is popular, achievable and easy to accept, it requires no new legislation and sits broadly within government policy". With 30 or so bills still before the parliament, the government has been ramping up pressure on the Greens and the coalition to co-operate. "This is a week where we will see the colour of the eyes of Peter Dutton and the Greens party," Employment Minister Murray Watt told reporters on Sunday. A friendless crackdown on misinformation and disinformation has been shelved and gambling reforms have been pushed into next year. Though the government is expecting wins on its aged care reforms and its social media age limit, with the former expected to attract opposition support. Under world-first legislation, Australians younger than 16 will be banned from social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Reddit and X (formerly Twitter). Labor will also be spruiking its Future Made in Australia plan, with its hydrogen and critical minerals production tax incentives to be introduced to parliament on Monday. Economic management will likely get some airtime after monthly inflation figures are released on Wednesday, with headline inflation expected to once again land within the Reserve Bank of Australia's target band. But with the central bank's preferred underlying gauge - stripped of the volatility inflicting the headline number - likely to remain above the two-three per cent band, keenly-anticipated interest rate cuts are likely to stay on ice. The federal election is due to be held by May 17.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Jimmy Carter was honored with a moment of silence before the Atlanta Falcons’ game at the Washington Commanders on Sunday night, hours after the 39th president of the United States died at the age of 100 in Plains, Georgia. Beyond being a Georgia native who led the country from the White House less than 8 miles (12 kilometers) away during his time in office from 1977-81, Carter was the first president to host the NFL's Super Bowl champions there when he welcomed the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1980.

The red No6 jersey, worth £1million-plus, was last seen at ex-wife Tina’s Essex home 30 years ago and she wants it returned. A source says Britain’s biggest collector of footie memorabilia told a relative: “I have it”. Skipper Bobby wore the red No6 top as he lifted the Jules Rimet Trophy at Wembley. It was last seen in Tina’s Essex attic 30 years ago and is now said to be worth more than £1million. The source told us a relative of tyre tycoon Neville Evans, 61, had confided four months ago that the jersey is part of his National Football Shirt Collection. They added the relative has seen the shirt. They said: “He showed me a clipping of a Sun article about the shirt last year (April 2023), and he said ‘Neville has got that shirt’.” Tina, wed to Bobby from 1962-86, and daughter Roberta said: “We are incredibly grateful to The Sun for taking up the challenge. “It seems Mr Evans is likely to have it or know where it is. “We’d implore him to tell us what he knows.” Evans, who lives in a £2m mansion in West Wales, co-authored a book last year, Three Lions on a Shirt: The Official History of the England Football Jersey. Many pictures were taken from shirts in his collection. Before publishing, the FA contacted Tina to say Bobby’s shirt would be pictured. But it set off legal letters from Bobby’s family and the jersey was replaced in the book with Sir Geoff Hurst’s No10 jersey. Co-author Daren Burney said at the time: “We are saddened our discovery of Bobby’s shirt has caused the Moore family distress.” He added cryptically that the shirt “is no longer under the same ownership and we can categorically state we have no idea where the shirt is now or who owns it”. But there was never any record of a sale or auction. Evans is a well-respected dealer of sporting memorabilia and there is no suggestion he acquired the shirt illegally. A female employee at his office gave no comment. Evans said the same at his home the next day. Tina added: “Bobby’s shirt may be one of the most iconic in British sporting history, but for Roberta and me it is an intensely personal reminder of the Bobby we loved deeply and everything he stood for. “He was a loving husband and father, a gentleman as well as a leader. “He wore the shirt on that unforgettable day having fought his own private battle with testicular cancer . “Very few people realised the agony he had been through. “He became a national hero that day, but he was already our hero and our Bobby. “Bobby gave it to me along with all his memorabilia. “It was a truly special gift and it clearly meant a lot to him that I should have it."
Will Riley scored a game-high 19 points off the bench as No. 25 Illinois shrugged off a slow start to earn an 87-40 nonconference victory over Maryland Eastern Shore on Saturday afternoon in Champaign, Ill. Morez Johnson Jr. recorded his first double-double with 10 points and 13 rebounds, Kylan Boswell posted 13 points and Tomislav Ivisic contributed 11 for Illinois (4-1). Coming off a 100-87 loss to No. 8 Alabama on Wednesday, the Illini led by as much as 52 despite hitting just 10-of-40 3-point attempts. Jalen Ware paced Maryland Eastern Shore (2-6) with 10 points before fouling out. Ketron "KC" Shaw, who entered Saturday in the top 20 of Division I scorers at 22.3 points per game, went scoreless in the first half and finished with seven points on 2-of-11 shooting. The Hawks canned just 22.1 percent of their shots from the floor. Illinois broke out to a 6-0 lead in the first 2:06, then missed its next six shots. That gave the Hawks time to pull into an 8-8 tie on Evan Johnson's 17-foot pullup at the 12:21 mark. That marked Maryland Eastern Shore's last points for more than seven minutes as the Illini reeled off 17 straight points to remove any suspense. Johnson opened the spree with a basket and two free throws, Ben Humrichous swished a 3-pointer and Tre White sank a layup before Kasparas Jakucionis fed Ivisic for a 3-pointer and an alley-oop layup. Jakucionis set up Johnson for a free throw, then drove for an unchallenged layup to make it 25-8 with 5:15 left in the first. Evan Johnson snapped the visitors' dry spell with a driving layup at the 4:56 mark, but Illinois went on to establish a 35-15 halftime lead on the stretch of 11 offensive rebounds that turned into 12 second-chance points and 13 points off UMES' 10 turnovers. Maryland Eastern Shore needed nearly four minutes to get its first points in the second half as Illinois pushed its lead to 42-15. The Illini margin ballooned all the way to 70-24 on Boswell's driving layup with 8:11 to go. --Field Level Media

The House of Representatives on Wednesday, approved for second reading, a bill to establish the National Commission for Technology Transfer, Acquisition and Promotion. The commission when established will monitor the inflow of foreign products and technology into the country. The sponsor of the bill from Akwa Ibom State, Clement Jimbo, said the proposed legislation “seeks to leverage the huge and active Nigerian population to create jobs for youths, process raw materials into finished goods/products, increase the Gross Domestic Product, and transfer technology to Nigeria.” Leading the debate on the bill’s general principles, the PDP lawmaker said the overriding principle behind the introduction of the proposed legislation is to ensure regular value addition to the country’s solid mineral exploration. He also said it was triggered by the need to create sustainable jobs for the nation’s army of unemployed youths. “The bill seeks to increase our GDP and revenue base through foreign exchange.

This statement is in sync with the intendment of this bill, Mr Speaker,” he said. Addressing reporters after the plenary session, the lawmaker urged his colleagues to support the bill to quicken its passage.
GLOBALISATION AND IDENTITY: Australian scholar advocates unified, inclusive path forward Islamabad : In a globalised world, where societies are increasingly multicultural, adopting a relational and decolonised approach to identity can bridge divides, foster inclusivity, and reshape cultural connections, emphasised Australian critical race scholar Prof Debbie Bargallie. "This perspective not only promotes a more equitable and interconnected future, but also resists the exploitation of values, focusing instead on the shared humanity that unites us all," Prof Bargallie told a seminar on “Reshaping Cultural Connections in a Globalised World” at the Institute of Policy Studies here. The event, chaired by member of the Supreme Court's Shariat Appellate Bench Dr Khalid Masud and attended by IPS chairman Khalid Rahman, served as a precursor to an international seminar to be organised by the IPS on Dec 5 on "The Role of Religions in Fostering Peace, Harmony and Justice.” Prof Bargallie, an associate professor and principal research fellow at the Griffith Centre for Social and Cultural Research and the Griffith Institute for Educational Research, Griffith University, Australia, said highlighted the interconnectedness of cultural histories and identities, emphasising how relationality and positionality shape knowledge and social research. Drawing from cultural theorist Stuart Hall’s concept that all narratives are “in context” and positioned, she called for revisiting sidelined histories to foster a more inclusive understanding of cultural connections and identities. Prof Bargallie shared insight from her research and personal experiences, exploring the historical links between Australia, Islam, and cultural relations. She noted that trade and cultural exchanges between Muslims and Aboriginal Australians were established long before European colonisation, as evidenced by ancient maps by Al-Khwarizmi drawn in 820AD and Kilwa Sultanate coins found in Australia, which reveal a period of mutual engagement that predates European settlement. The scholar also said 19th-century Muslim immigrants, including Afghans, Indians, Algerians, and Malays, shaped Australia’s industries as cameleers, farmers, and hawkers, whose contributions underscored the early foundations of Australia’s multicultural fabric. She, however, she noted the challenges faced by these communities under the racially exclusionary White Australia policy, which marginalised non-European migrants. Sharing a personal connection, Prof Bargallie recounted how her great-grandfather, a Muslim from Punjab who migrated in the 1890s, was unable to leave Australia due to discriminatory policies like the English dictation test. "Despite such challenges, the resilience and growth of Australia’s Muslim community have significantly enriched the nation’s multicultural identity. Pakistani migrants, now the 17th largest migrant group in Australia, exemplify this vibrancy. Moreover, Islam, as the fastest-growing religion in the country, now accounts for 3.2 per cent of the population, highlighting the increasing acceptance of cultural diversity," she said. The scholar called for a decolonised approach to cultural studies that values indigenous epistemologies, marginalised voices, and non-Eurocentric frameworks, and narratives that emphasise shared histories, fluid identities, and relationality to address systemic challenges like displacement, marginalisation, and loss of cultural heritage. She added that national frameworks rooted in inclusivity could serve as powerful tools for promoting harmony and coexistence under a shared identity. Dr Khalid Masud noted that unlike political identity, which imposed boundaries, cultural identity offered a more inclusive and expansive sense of belonging. He said in the digital era, where identities were increasingly shaped and politicised, there was a need to resist the exploitation of values and instead focus on the shared humanity that connected all the people.Heavy travel day starts with brief grounding of all American Airlines flightsStock yards bancorp president sells $258k in shares
After Howard County voters showed overwhelming support for a charter amendment to establish an Office of the Inspector General, to create the office’s structure is up for final consideration by the County Council on Monday. “And I’m also quite pleased that we spent a lot of time as a body in work sessions, probably about nine or 10 hours, public work sessions, to reach a consensus on this particular bill. So, we’ve really put in a lot of hard work, it’s been kicking around since last June and we’re finally flying into the airport, I think, and landing it,” Council Chair Deb Jung said at a Nov. 18 public hearing. Days after the public hearing, the council held its regular legislative work session on Nov. 22 where council member Christiana Rigby proposed changes, and Howard County Executive Calvin Ball’s staff brought forth potential amendments that were to be filed before the 2 p.m. deadline Tuesday. The council will vote on Monday because “we got to get this thing going,” Jung said. Thirteen amendments were filed Tuesday, ranging from technical language changes to more substantial adjustments. The county executive’s office filed eight amendments. Some of the amendments would allow for the Inspector General Citizen Board to appoint and remove the inspector general rather than the County Council and prohibit former county executives or elected officials from being the inspector general within five years of government service. Anyone wanting to serve on the citizen board would also have to wait five years after serving in county government. Another amendment by Rigby, District 3, would change the name of the citizen board to “Inspector General Advisory Board.” Ball supported the council’s decision in July to amend the county’s charter, emphasizing the significance of good governance, efficiency and trust, Howard County Chief Administrative Officer Brandee Ganz said in a statement. The amendments were filed to support that “vision” and “strengthen the independence of the Office of the Inspector General,” Ganz said. “This includes a provision to ensure that oversight of the Inspector General falls to an empowered board of experienced community members and professionals, and not elected officials,” the statement read. “We look forward to working with the County Council to advance and implement this important initiative.” Other proposed amendments would authorize the citizen board to recommend changes to the Office of the Inspector General’s budget and allow the county executive to make two appointments to the board, while each County Council member would receive one. When discussing potential amendments during the Nov. 22 work session, Jung said she would never give the county executive two appointments “no matter what.” Jung filed an amendment clarifying the selection process so each council member and the county executive would nominate one person. Another person would be nominated by the majority of the council from names provided in a public process. Legislation around the Office of the Inspector General has been in the works since July, when Council Vice Chair Liz Walsh to form the office, which would uncover and address cases of fraud, abuse and waste in organizations receiving county funding. She also proposed legislation to form a citizen board that would appoint the inspector general, change the code around whistleblower complaints and the Howard County Ethics Commission’s composition and repeal some duties of the county auditor. After , the council worked on an amendment to the county charter to ensure the office would be completely independent of county government branches. The council that added it to the ballot in this year’s general election, when 85.6% of voters voted to establish the office. The day before Election Day, during a legislative session, members of the council introduced CB61-2024, which differed from the bills proposed by Walsh in July. The new bill would establish the Office of the Inspector General, an independent citizen board, and other functions of the new entity. Walsh, Jung, and Rigby, along with councilmember David Yungman, District 5, sponsored the measure. Opel Jones, of District 2, supported creation of the office but decided not to sponsor the bill because he said he wanted to see how the Nov. 5 vote went and needed to talk with constituents. “Whether a council member is on a bill as a co-sponsor or co-author really doesn’t have much to do with whether he or she is going to support an effort or a bill or not,” Jones said at the Nov. 18 public hearing. Members of the public shared their support for the inspector general’s office at the meeting while also raising questions and concerns about the cost, transparency and independence of the office, among other topics. Jung said the council shares some of those concerns. “I share your concerns,” Jung said responding to a resident’s testimony. “I think we probably all do share to a certain extent some of your concerns. It’s a new thing for us, too.”
