GM to sell stake in battery cell plant to joint venture partner for roughly $1 billionIsraeli strikes without warning in central Beirut kill at least 15 as diplomats push for cease-fire BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — Lebanese officials say Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 15 people and injured dozens in central Beirut as the once-rare strikes in the heart of Lebanon’s capital continue without Israeli warning. Diplomats are scrambling to broker a cease-fire but describe the disputed issues that remain. The current proposal calls for a two-month cease-fire during which Israeli forces would withdraw from Lebanon and Hezbollah would end its armed presence along the southern border south of the Litani River. Lebanon’s Health Ministry says Israeli bombardment has killed more than 3,500 people in Lebanon in the months of fighting that have turned into all-out war. Trump raced to pick many Cabinet posts. He took more time to settle on a treasury secretary WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump launched a blitz of picks for his Cabinet, but he took his time settling on billionaire investor Scott Bessent as his choice for treasury secretary. The Republican not only wanted someone who jibes with him, but an official who can execute his economic vision and look straight out of central casting while doing so. With his Yale University education and pedigree trading for Soros Fund Management before establishing his own funds, Bessent will be tasked with a delicate balancing act. Trump expects him to help reset the global trade order, enable trillions of dollars in tax cuts, ensure inflation stays in check, manage a ballooning national debt and still keep the financial markets confident. Voters rejected historic election reforms across the US, despite more than $100M push JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Election reform advocates had hoped for a big year at the ballot box. That's because a historic number of states were considering initiatives for ranked choice voting or to end partisan primaries. Instead, voters dealt them big losses in the November elections. Voters in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and South Dakota all rejected proposed changes to their voting systems. In Alaska, a proposal to repeal ranked choice voting appears to have narrowly fallen short. The losses in many states came even though election reform supporters raised more than $100 million, easily outpacing opponents. Supporters say they aren't giving up but plan to retool their efforts. The week that upped the stakes of the Ukraine war KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — This past week has seen the most significant escalation in hostilities Ukraine has witnessed since Russia's full-scale invasion and marks a new chapter in the nearly three-year war. It began with U.S. President Joe Biden reversing a longstanding policy by granting Kyiv permission to deploy American longer-range missiles inside Russian territory and ended with Moscow striking Ukraine with a new experimental ballistic weapon that has alarmed the international community and heightened fears of further escalation. Storm dumps record rain in Northern California, while US Northeast deals with winter storms HEALDSBURG, Calif. (AP) — A major storm continues to drop heavy snow and record rain in California, causing small landslides and flooding some streets. Meanwhile on the opposite coast blizzard or winter storm warnings were in effect Saturday for areas spanning from the Northeast to central Appalachia. The storm on the West Coast arrived in the Pacific Northwest earlier this week, killing two people and knocking out power to hundreds of thousands, before moving through Northern California. Forecasters predicted that both coasts would begin to see a reprieve from the storms as the system in the northeast moves into eastern Canada and the one in the West heads south. Even with access to blockbuster obesity drugs, some people don't lose weight Most people taking popular drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy to lose weight have shed significant pounds. But obesity experts say that roughly 20% of patients — as many as 1 in 5 — may not see robust results with the new medications. The response to the drugs varies from person to person and can depend on genetics, hormones and differences in how the brain regulates energy. Undiagnosed medical conditions and some drugs can prevent weight loss. Experts say it can take experimentation to help so-called nonresponders find results. Fighting between armed sectarian groups in restive northwestern Pakistan kills at least 37 people PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — A senior Pakistani police officer says fighting between armed sectarian groups in the country's restive northwest has killed at least 37 people. The overnight violence was the latest to rock Kurram, a district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and comes days after a deadly gun ambush killed 42 people. The officer said Saturday that armed men torched shops, houses and government property overnight. Gunfire is ongoing between rival tribes. Although Sunnis and Shiites generally live together peacefully in Pakistan, tensions remain in some areas, especially Kurram. These Peruvian women left the Amazon, but their homeland still inspires their songs and crafts LIMA, Peru (AP) — Many Shipibo-Konibo craftswomen migrated from their Indigenous communities in the Amazon to Peru's capital, Lima, in the past few decades. Their ancestors' legacy remains present through their songs and techniques, and some of them have managed to make a living out of their crafts. Textiles, jewelry and paintings convey the culture, worldview and beliefs from the lands where they were born. Doctor at the heart of Turkey's newborn baby deaths case says he was a 'trusted' physician ISTANBUL (AP) — The Turkish doctor at the center of an alleged fraud scheme that led to the deaths of 10 babies says he was a “trusted” physician. Dr. Firat Sari is one of 47 people on trial accused of transferring newborn babies to neonatal units of private hospitals, where they were allegedly kept for prolonged and sometimes unnecessary treatments in order to receive social security payments. Sari said patients were referred to him because people trusted him and he did not bribe anyone involved with Turkey’s emergency medical phone line. Sari, said to be the plot’s ringleader, faces up to 583 years in prison. Hydrate. Make lists. Leave yourself time. And other tips for reducing holiday travel stress Travel, especially during the holiday season, can be stressful. But following some tips from the pros as you prepare for a trip can make for a smoother, less anxious experience. One expert traveler suggests making a list a week before you go of things you need to do and pack. Cross off each item as you complete it during the week. Another tip is to carry your comfort zone with you. That could mean noise-canceling headphones, playlists meant to soothe airport travelers, entertainment and snacks from home. Carry a change of clothes and a phone charger in case of delays. Stay hydrated. Leave extra time. And know your airline's rules. Downloading the airline's app can help with that.Judge says lawsuit over former NFL player Glenn Foster Jr.'s jail death can proceedENERGY SERVICES OF AMERICA COMPLETES ACQUISITION
Arvind Kejriwal thanks Punjab on AAP's bypoll winThe relationship between President Joe Biden and House Democrats appears to have grown strained after the president backtracked on his previous refusal to pardon his son, Hunter Biden. Multiple House members told Axios this week that tensions were already brewing between the commander in chief and Democrat lawmakers, but the pardon sent many “over the edge,” one senior House Democrat told Axios. “People are really angry,” the representative, who spoke under the condition of anonymity, said. They estimated that “more than 50 percent” of their fellow House Democrats are frustrated about Biden’s sweeping December 1 pardon for Hunter, a move he repeatedly claimed he would not make. Rep. Greg Landsman (D-OH) chose to speak on the record, saying the Biden-House Democrats relationship is “I don’t think great” when asked about it. WATCH — White House Insisted Joe Biden Wouldn’t Pardon Hunter Right After Trump Won Election: Another source of the tension seems to be the perception that Biden cost Democrats the presidential election after staying in the race until July. “I think there’s a widespread sense that he took too long to get out and that it made it very difficult for Vice President Harris to run the most impactful campaign,” Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García (D-IL) told the outlet. Another senior House Democrat pointed out that “some of the frustrations about Harris’ loss have to do with Biden.” “Geez, you know, he stuck around longer than he probably should have,” the member added. According to Landsman, the president got “a ton done” during his time in office, but there are “legitimate questions as to whether or not he should have served one term and been done” and added that Biden should have talked through the pardon decision “with others outside of his family.” WATCH — Jill Biden: “Of Course” I Support Pardon for Hunter Biden: A third senior House Democrat confirmed to Axios that “there’s definitely some tension” about the pardon, which came just before the younger Biden was set to face sentencing for gun charges, according to the Associated Press. “There is a lot of frustration with Biden’s about-face,” yet another House member added, referring to Biden’s lies about not pardoning his son and his 2020 pledge to act as a “bridge” to ensure the success of newer Democrats. “I am unplugging from Biden right now,” a fifth House Democrat told Axios when asked about the president. Yet another member lamented how tarnished Biden has become by this drama. “There’s certainly frustration with the Biden administration, and in some ways the most frustrating part is some of us really love Joe Biden,” the source told Axios. “And the feeling is: Why do you have to go out like this?”

Greg Gianforte on Friday announced he has appointed Department of Agriculture Director Christy Clark to lead Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. Clark succeeds Dustin Temple, whose retirement Gianforte announced last month. "Christy Clark is a strong leader with the skills needed to lead the agency tasked with protecting Montana’s cherished recreational opportunities and public access to public lands," Gianforte said in a press release Friday. "With her record of leadership, I am confident in her as she takes on this new role at FWP. I appreciate her willingness to serve in this new capacity after her successful tenure at MDA." Clark has been Department of Agriculture director since 2022, and held several positions in the agency before that. A Republican, Clark was elected to three terms in the Montana House of Representatives as a Republican from Choteau, where she and her husband raised three children on the family ranch.

Gov. Greg Gianforte on Friday announced he has appointed Clark to lead Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. ANTONIO IBARRA OLIVARES, Missoulian "After spending more than 20 years ranching and raising kids, my passion for advocating for agriculture brought me to the Montana Department of Agriculture where it has been an honor to serve Montana and its producers as director," said Director Clark. "I'm equally passionate about our state's hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreational opportunities, which truly make Montana, Montana. I'm grateful to Governor Gianforte for this opportunity to continue serving the people of Montana." Clark takes the reins at a fragile time for staffing at FWP, and will be the third director under Gianforte. Turnover and internal criticisms of the governor's handling of the agency have both been increasingly public affairs in Gianforte's first term, including involving former fisheries chief Eileen Ryce, law enforcement head Dave Loewen and former operations chief Mike Volesky. The looming delisting of grizzly bears from Endangered Species Act protections has also been a priority for the administration. In August, Gianforte and Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon touted the truck translocation of two subadult grizzlies from Montana to northwestern Wyoming. In 2012, Clark shed some light on her view of grizzlies and other wildlife managed by the agency to which she has now been appointed. In a letter to the editor opposing the Rocky Mountain Front Heritage Act, Clark wrote, "The government has forced grizzly bears on us, so that we have to watch our livestock be eaten and then choose between committing a crime or defending our property." The government likewise "forced wolves on us" as well as bison, Clark added, raising the impact on Montana ranches for losing their brucellosis-free status. FWP Chief Operating Officer Marina Yoshioka has been serving as the agency's acting director since Temple's retirement. Author twitter Author email
Eagles look to clinch NFC East title while Cowboys hope to play spoiler
If Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts is unavailable for their Week 17 tilt with the rival Dallas Cowboys, they'll at least have Kenny Pickett at their disposal. Hurts remains in concussion protocol while also dealing with a finger injury on his non-throwing hand. He did not practice on Thursday, but QB2 Pickett (ribs) was a full participant. Pickett told reporters after practice Thursday that he expects to be able to play. He "tested out some different things padding-wise" in anticipation of being on the field Sunday against visiting Dallas, when the Eagles can clinch the NFC East title with a victory. "It is what it is. Just something I'm going to have to deal with," Pickett said. "So, yeah, I'll be ready to go for Sunday." Hurts was injured last Sunday in the Eagles' loss to the Washington Commanders. His head hit the turf while being tackled by Frankie Luvu and Bobby Wagner. Hurts connected on just 1 of 4 passes for 11 yards before he exited the game. Pickett took over and produced 143 yards, one touchdown and one interception on 14-of-24 passing as Washington rallied to beat Philadelphia 36-33. It was later revealed that Pickett hurt his ribs during the game. "I think after a couple more days, getting a chance to kind of rest it a little bit more, go do some rehab, I'll be good for Sunday," Pickett said. The only other quarterback on the Eagles' roster is Tanner McKee, a sixth-round pick in 2023 who has yet to play a snap for them. Philadelphia signed quarterback Ian Book to the practice squad earlier Thursday. --Field Level MediaDaniel Penny, the 25-year-old former Marine who intervened on a New York City subway to restrain Jordan Neely after the latter began threatening passengers last year, will no longer face a manslaughter charge in Neely’s death. Penny placed Neely in a chokehold for several minutes, then let go; he later died, though he was still alive when police arrived. Penny was charged swiftly last year, partly because of racial politics: Neely, the initial aggressor, was both black and homeless. (His father has sued Penny in civil court.) NEW YORK, UNITED STATES – May 5: Hundreds of demonstrators hold banners in New York City on Friday gather in Washington Square Park in New York, USA on May 5, 2023. Charges were called against the former U.S. Marine who choked a homeless man, Jordan Neely to death on the subway. (Photo by Selcuk Acar/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images) However, many members of the public believe Penny was a Good Samaritan acting to defend fellow passengers, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Penny acted appropriately. “You have someone [Penny] on that subway who was responding, doing what we should have done as a city,” he said. The Manhattan jury could not reach a verdict after deliberating for several days, and even after receiving what is called an “ Allen charge ,” an instruction to reach a unanimous verdict of guilty or not guilty, if that is possible. The defense wanted Judge Maxwell Wiley to declare a mistrial, but prosecutors moved that the manslaughter charge be dismissed instead, urging the judge to allow the jury to consider a “lesser included” charge of negligent homicide. As PBS explained , under New York State law: “Manslaughter requires proving a defendant recklessly caused another person’s death, and carries up to 15 years. Criminally negligent homicide involves engaging in serious ‘blameworthy conduct’ while not perceiving such a risk, and carries punishments ranging from probation to up to four years in prison.” Typically, juries can consider such lesser charges when finding a defendant not guilty of the higher one. However, the defense in the Penny trial objected, telling the judge that only a finding of “not guilty” on the charge of manslaughter would allow the jury to consider the lesser included charge, not merely a dismissal of the charge. Judge Wiley admitted that there might be a legal problem. According to ABC News: “Wiley left unanswered the question about whether the jury could move onto the second count if they are unable to reach a verdict on the first count. He said he believed the jury moving to the second count is possible but needs to find the legal authority to do so.” If the judge is satisfied that there is legal authority, the jury will deliberate on the lesser charge starting Monday. Defense lawyers are concerned that the jury could convict Penny on that charge as a consolation to the prosecution. Joel B.

Popular Jamaican TikToker Niah, known for his gritty freestyles and magnetic social media presence, tragically died on Saturday night in a shocking incident that unfolded during a live stream. According to reports, Niah, who hailed from Old Harbour, was shot and killed in a yard where he was actively recording content for his audience. During the chaotic livestream, Niah could be seen speaking with another TikToker about “badness” and street life.

Moments later, multiple explosions could be heard, after which the feed abruptly ended. Niah, a prominent figure on TikTok and YouTube under the Niah Gang banner, was celebrated for his extended lyrical freestyles and collaborations with other artistes.

Poles will interview candidates and select a replacement for Matt Eberflus, who was fired Friday after the Bears' sixth consecutive loss and fourth of the season decided on a final play. "Ryan Poles is the general manager of the Chicago Bears, and he will remain the general manager of the Chicago Bears," president and CEO Kevin Warren said Monday. "Ryan will serve as the point person of our upcoming search for a head football coach. We will closely, we will work together on a daily basis to make sure we have the right person as our head football coach." Warren said the McCaskey family provided "all the resources" to build a championship environment. He confirmed that Thomas Brown, who a month ago was passing game coordinator before replacing Shane Waldron as offensive coordinator, will serve as interim head coach and shift from the press box to the sideline starting this week. Warren did not say whether Brown would automatically receive an interview for the full-time coaching position, which he said "will be the most coveted head coaching job in the National Football League." Poles said consideration will be given to candidates with the plan to develop rookie No. 1 pick Caleb Williams, but there are no set plans to involve the quarterback in the interview process. He said the Bears showed great progress through two seasons but couldn't sustain growth. "At the end of the day, we just came up short too many times," Poles said of firing Eberflus, his pick to be the Bears' head coach in January 2022. Brown promoted wide receivers coach Chris Beatty to interim offensive coordinator on Monday and announced that defensive coordinator Eric Washington will be the defensive play caller, a role Eberflus previously held. Trailing 23-20 on Thanksgiving Day, the Bears were within field-goal range when quarterback Caleb Williams was sacked. With 32 seconds remaining, Eberflus elected not to use his final timeout as Williams heaved an incompletion down the right sideline as time expired. "When you look at the end-of-the-game situations, detailing to finish in some of those moments. We all know a lot of games come down to those critical moments where we weren't able to get over the hump," Poles said. Eberflus said after the game that everything was handled properly and held a press conference via Zoom on Friday voicing confidence he'd have the team ready to play the 49ers this week. But three hours later, he was fired. Warren admitted the franchise could've handled the timing better, but clarified there was no decision on Eberflus' status at the time of his media session. "The decision was made to terminate the employment of head coach Matt Eberflus," Warren said 72 hours later. "We try to do everything in a professional manner. That decision was made on Friday." "Coach Eberflus had his press conference, we had not made a final decision. I think you know me, you know Ryan you know George McCaskey. One thing we stand for is family, integrity, doing it the right way. In retrospect, could we have done it better? Absolutely." Eberflus, 54, went 14-32 in two-plus seasons. The Bears (4-8) travel to San Francisco (5-7) in Week 1. --Field Level Media
