Kundi sees governance failure in KP Governor alleges that 1,500 FRP personnel were taken to Islamabad by PTI government for protest PESHAWAR: Governor Faisal Karim Kundi on Saturday criticised the provincial government over “failed governance” and disrupting national progress through continuous protests. “There are two governments functioning in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. One is led by the chief minister and the other by a “defecto chief minister,” he said while talking to reporters at the Peshawar Press Club. Alluding to Bushra Bibi, the wife of Imran Khan, he said the two were at odds over whether protesters should march toward Sangjani or D-Chowk in Islamabad. The governor raised questions about the burning of a container belonging to the chief minister in Islamabad during the PTI protest, suggesting that it could either be an act of negligence or intentional sabotage by those trying to remove a “defective chief minister.” Kundi lamented that these differences were not about developmental issues but rather political maneuvering. He emphasized that the KP needed peace and development, especially in Kurram and Bajaur, and called for a unified focus on restoring peace. The governor accused the PTI of misusing government resources, claiming that salaries of Tehsil Municipal Administration employees, health officials, and teachers were diverted to fund protests. He alleged that 1,500 Frontier Reserve Police (FRP) personnel were taken to Islamabad by the PTI government for the protest. He dismissed claims of a clash between the Centre and KP, stating that the chief minister often complied with federal government decisions during meetings but failed to take practical steps in the province. Commenting on the possibility of the governor’s rule in KP, Kundi said the Constitution provided for such measures if deemed necessary by the federal government.

‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’: How to watch new episode for free2 Rescued After California Pier Partially Collapses Due to Heavy Surf From Major Pacific StormManchester United head coach Ruben Amorim claims that "the storm is coming" for his team. Despite a promising start to his tenure, with two wins and a draw in his first three games, Amorim is aware of the daunting challenges ahead. United's next fixture is away to Arsenal , a team that has finished second in the Premier League for the past two seasons, and Amorim acknowledged the significant gap between the two clubs. With a tough run of fixtures looming, including matches against Manchester City , Tottenham , Liverpool , and another encounter with Arsenal in the FA Cup, Amorim is cautious about his team's prospects. United's recent record against the top six teams is dismal, with no wins in their last ten away fixtures, and Amorim is bracing himself for difficult times ahead. "I would like to say different things, but I have to say it again: the storm will come," the Portuguese coach said. "I don't know if you use that expression but we are going to have difficult moments and we will be found out in some games. And I know that because I'm knowing my players and I know football and I follow football. "So I understand the difference between the teams and we are in the point in that we are putting simple things in the team, without training, and you feel it in this game against Everton. They change a little bit the way they were building up. "They are a very good team and we were with a lot of problems because we cannot change it by calling one thing to the captain. So we don't have this training. So let's focus on each game, on the performance, what we have to improve, trying to win games. And that is the focus." He further stressed the high expectations at the club: "I know it's really hard to be a Manchester United coach and say these things in press conferences. We want to win all the time, no matter what. We are going to try to win but we know that we are in a different point if you compared to Arsenal . "So it is what it is and we will try to win it and we go with confidence to win, but we know that we need to play very well to win the next football match."

By KATE BRUMBACK ATLANTA (AP) — A judge is weighing whether a Georgia state Senate committee has the right to subpoena testimony and documents from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as it looks into whether she has engaged in misconduct during her prosecution of President-elect Donald Trump. The Republican-led committee sent subpoenas to Willis in August seeking to compel her to testify at its September meeting and to produce scores of documents. The committee was formed earlier this year to examine allegations of “various forms of misconduct” by Willis, an elected Democrat, during her prosecution of Trump and others over their efforts to overturn the former president’s 2020 election loss in Georgia. Willis’ attorney, former Democratic Gov. Roy Barnes, told Fulton County Superior Court Judge Shukura Ingram during a hearing Tuesday that although the Georgia General Assembly has subpoena power, that power is not automatically conferred on a single legislative chamber or its committees. Even if the committee did have such power, he argued, the subpoenas in question are overly broad and not related to a legitimate legislative need. Barnes said the focus on Willis and her investigation into Trump shows that the committee was politically motivated and not a legitimate inquiry into the practices of district attorneys’ offices: “What they were trying to do is chill the prosecution of Donald Trump and find out what they had.” Josh Belinfante, a lawyer representing the lawmakers, said there is nothing in the Georgia Constitution that prohibits the Senate from issuing a subpoena. The duly formed interim committee is looking into whether new legislation is needed to regulate the practices of district attorneys’ offices in the state, he argued. “They are investigating and making an inquiry into these allegations that may show that existing state laws, including those establishing the processes for selecting, hiring and compensating special assistant district attorneys, are inadequate,” Belinfante said. The resolution creating the committee focused in particular on Willis’ hiring of special prosecutor Nathan Wade , with whom she had a romantic relationship , to lead the prosecution against Trump and others. It says the relationship amounted to a “clear conflict of interest and a fraud upon the taxpayers” of the county and state. One of the committee’s subpoenas orders Wills to produce documents related to Wade, including documents related to his hiring and payment, documents related to money or items of value that Wade and Willis may have exchanged, text messages and emails between the two, and their phone records. The committee also requested any documents her office sent in response to requests from the U.S. House, as well as communications Willis and her office had with the White House, the U.S. Justice Department and the House relating to the 2020 presidential election. And they asked for documents related to federal grant money Willis’ office has received. Before the deadlines in the subpoenas, Willis challenged them in court. Willis’ challenge was pending in mid-September when she skipped a hearing during which the committee members had hoped to question her. In October, the committee asked Ingram to require Willis to comply with the subpoenas. The committee’s lawyers wrote in a court filing that Willis’ failure to do so had delayed its ability to finish its inquiry and to provide recommendations for any legislation or changes in appropriations that might result. Barnes also argued that once the regular legislative session has adjourned, which happened in March this year, legislative committees can meet to study issues and come up with recommendations but do not have the power to compel someone to appear or produce documents. Belinfante rejected that, saying the state Constitution expressly permits the creation of interim committees and allows them to make their rules. Even if these subpoenas were validly issued, Barnes argued, they ask for too much, including private and personal information that is not a legitimate target of a legislative subpoena. Belinfante said the lawmakers are simply trying to do their jobs. He asked that Willis be ordered to appear before the committee in early January. He also asked that she be ordered to provide the requested documents and explain what privilege justifies any that are excluded. With a glaring lack of state case law on the issue of the General Assembly’s subpoena power, that’s one issue Ingram will have to address. She said she will consider the arguments and release her order as soon as she can. Willis and Wade have acknowledged that they had a relationship but have said it began after he was hired and ended before the indictment against Trump was filed. Trump and other defendants argued that the relationship created a conflict of interest that should disqualify Willis and her office from continuing with her prosecution of the case. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled in March that Willis’ actions showed a “tremendous lapse in judgment,” but he did not find a conflict of interest that would disqualify Willis. He said she could continue her prosecution as long as Wade stepped aside, which he did. Trump and others have appealed that ruling to the Georgia Court of Appeals, and that appeal remains pending.Only a handful of the network TV series debuting 50 years ago last autumn managed to survive two or more seasons. But how many would have existed at all if they faced today’s TV/political environment? Sure, Mary Richards’ best friend Rhoda Morgenstern achieved her own CBS spin-off. And she made Nielsen ratings history a few weeks later as she raced through the streets of New York in her wedding gown to tie the knot. But a time-traveling TV executive from 2024 would have given us Rhoda NondescriptLastName racing through the streets of New York in her burka to ... freeze her eggs (consequently spawning a grassroots “I’m cutting my rabbit ears!” movement). Angie Dickinson shattered the glass ceiling as “Pepper” Anderson on “Police Woman,” but how could she have made ends meet while facing today’s activism? (“Undercover cop, undercover salary. We’re defunded!”) “Chico and the Man” was a succinct title for the sitcom (starring Freddie Prinze and Jack Albertson) that lampooned both a generation gap and an ethnic gap. But even a lead-in from “Sanford and Son” wouldn’t have helped if it was saddled with a clunky title like “I’m Not a Biologist; I Don’t Know What a Chico is or What a Man is.” Clifton Davis and Theresa Merritt earned a sophomore season of the ABC sitcom “That’s My Mama.” Good thing it wasn’t “That’s My Birthing Person — Definitely Not a Trafficker Who Smuggled Me Across the Border.” NBC graced us with two dramas that showcased TV/film veterans with stratospheric likability factors: James Garner (“The Rockford Files”) and Michael Landon (“Little House on the Prairie”). But nowadays, the casting quest would be for whichever has-been or never-was couldn’t land a streaming deal. Or, a star would be made expendable by a big cast. (“Let’s see if we can fit an ensemble of 12 in Rockford’s Pontiac Firebird Esprit.”) Don’t get me started on the “franchise” phenomenon. Landon’s wholesome adventures in Walnut Grove would have suffered overexposure if someone had gotten the bright idea of cranking out “Little House on the Jersey Turnpike,” “Little House on the Endangered Wetland,” “Little House on the Titanic” ... (As it was, the anticipation for the Dec. 12, 1974, premiere of “The Godfather Part II” nearly caused “Little House” to have a completely different focus. We came this close to seeing the unwieldy “Nice Little House You Have Here on the Prairie; Be a Shame if Anything Happened to it.”) Reality shows were practically nonexistent during the heyday of “Little House,” but a tweak of TV history could have left the Ingalls family with the trauma of a non-scripted existence. Although, “Spreading Typhoid Fever With the Stars” and “Vote Harriet Oleson Off the Hemisphere” have a certain panache. Prequel-itis is another modern gimmick that could have produced cringeworthy results. Can you imagine “Young Rockford,” charging “10 bucks a week plus all the root beer I can drink” while solving crimes with the help of his detention hall pal Angel Martin? Oh, and he could have a parrot that answered the phone. (“This is Jimmy Rockford. At the tone, leave your name and message. I’ll get back to you. Unless you’re a yucky girl with cooties.”) I hope you enjoyed this alternative look at a very special stretch of Memory Lane. What do you mean, Rhoda should have frozen this column until the time was right? Danny Tyree welcomes email responses at tyreetyrades@aol.com and visits to his Facebook fan page “Tyree’s Tyrades.”
