UN nuclear watchdog board passes resolution chiding IranBritish archaeologist Howard Carter opened the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun on November 26, 1922, in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. The news sparked excitement across the world because most of the royal tombs had been plundered from early times and Tutankhamun's was the first to be found almost entirely undisturbed. But the discovery also sparked media reports about a deadly curse for anyone who dared break into a pharaoh's tomb. Speculation about the curse gained momentum when Carter's financial backer, English aristocrat Lord Carnarvon (shown), died just weeks later from blood poisoning. Other sudden and violent deaths followed: an Egyptian prince and expedition benefactor was shot dead by his wife in 1923; then in 1924 the British governor of Sudan was assassinated. The ensuing public frenzy about a pharaoh's curse gradually subsided, but sprang back to life in 1939 when Carter died alone and depressed of cancer aged 64. Midway through a news bulletin on November 26, 1977, a UK television broadcast was interrupted by an other-worldly voice. "This is the voice of Vrillon, a representative of the Ashtar Galactic Command, speaking to you. "For many years you have seen us as lights in the skies. "We speak to you now in peace and wisdom as we have done to your brothers and sisters all over this, your planet Earth." After six minutes, the channel returned to regular programming. The channel, Southern Television, blamed a hoaxer "jamming the transmitter". Widely considered one of the greatest films of all time, Casablanca premiered in New York on November 26, 1942. The film's release was rushed to take advantage of the publicity of the capture of Casablanca by American and British troops during World War II. Following its release it became a hit and went on to win three Oscars at the Academy Awards. Thousands of naked people filled Australia's iconic Bondi Beach on November 26, 2022, to help raise awareness of skin cancer. The event was organised by acclaimed American photographer Spencer Tunick. The more than 2500 participants represented the number of lives lost to skin cancer every year in Australia. Funds raised from the sale of Tunick's photos were donated to skin cancer research. Australian cricket captain Kim Hughes broke down in tears when he announced his shock resignation on November 26, 1984. Hughes had led the team for 28 matches but shocked the nation when he quit following a heavy defeat by the powerful touring West Indies side. He was succeeded by Allan Border. Hollywood's first colour film was released on November 26, 1922. The Toll of the Sea told the story of a Chinese woman who falls in love with a American man. It was a star-making turn for Anna May Wong, who became one of the biggest stars of the silent era. Wong would later leave Hollywood for Europe because she was tired of being passed over for white actors in "yellowface". Central Brisbane became a warzone when mass brawls between Australian and US troops erupted on November 26, 1942, during World War II. The incident became known as The Battle of Brisbane and left an Australian soldier dead and many from both nations injured. The normally warm camaraderie between the two allies during World War II descended into violence after incidents involving alcohol and social and racial divisions. (State Library Queensland) On November 26, 1976, the British punk rock group Sex Pistols released their debut single, Anarchy in the UK. The iconic punk song, which later appeared on the band's album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols , became an anthem for disheartened young people across the world. The group was dropped by their record company EMI two months later for a foul-mouthed appearance on a live television show.

Bill Clinton, 78, suddenly hospitalized and ‘undergoing testing’ as he delivers solemn 5-word statementSpecial Counsel Jack Smith on Monday moved to dismiss the case against US President-elect Donald Trump for allegedly conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election he lost to Joe Biden. Smith, in a filing with the judge in Washington presiding over the historic case, said it should be dropped in light of a long-standing Justice Department policy not to prosecute a sitting president. The special counsel asked District Judge Tanya Chutkan to dismiss the case “without prejudice” — leaving open the possibility it could be revived after Trump leaves office four years from now. Smith paused the election interference case earlier this month after Trump defeated Kamala Harris in the November 5 presidential election. “The Government’s position on the merits of the defendant’s prosecution has not changed,” Smith said in the filing with Chutkan. “But the circumstances have.” “It has long been the position of the Department of Justice that the United States Constitution forbids the federal indictment and subsequent criminal prosecution of a sitting President,” Smith said. “As a result this prosecution must be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated.” Trump’s communications director Steven Cheung welcomed the move to dismiss the case, calling it a “major victory for the rule of law.” “The American People and President Trump want an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system and we look forward to uniting our country,” Cheung said in a statement. Trump is accused of conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding — the session of Congress called to certify Biden’s win, which was violently attacked on January 6, 2021, by a mob of the then-president’s supporters. Trump is also accused of seeking to disenfranchise US voters with his false claims that he won the 2020 election. Smith charged Trump with mishandling top secret documents after leaving the White House, but that case was tossed out by a federal judge in Florida, a Trump appointee, on the grounds that Smith was unlawfully appointed. Smith had appealed that dismissal but is now expected to drop the appeal. Trump also faces two state cases — in New York and Georgia. He was convicted in New York in May of 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels on the eve of the 2016 election to stop her from revealing an alleged 2006 sexual encounter. Judge Juan Merchan has postponed sentencing while he considers a request from Trump’s lawyers that the conviction be thrown out in light of the Supreme Court ruling in July that an ex-president has broad immunity from prosecution. In Georgia, Trump faces racketeering charges over his efforts to subvert the 2020 election results in the southern state, but that case will likely be frozen while he is in office under the policy of not prosecuting a sitting president.
Rep. Susan Wild (D-PA), the top Democrat on the House Ethics Committee, admitted to the panel that she violated her sworn oath and leaked details of the investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz to the press, The Hill reported Monday. Leaks about the Gaetz investigation and the threat of its full release played a significant role in derailing Gaetz’s nomination by Donald Trump for attorney general. The report from The Hill’s Mychael Schnell raises new questions about the motivations of the notoriously bipartisan committee, which restarted its investigations into Gaetz after a probe from Joe Biden’s Department of Justice ended without charges and continued even after the nominee resigned from the House and was no longer under the committee’s purview. Chairman Michael Guest (R-MS) even signaled the Ethics Committee was likely to ignore Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) recommendation to withhold releasing its report, before Gaetz ultimately announced he would withdraw his nomination after obstinate senators concerned about the report’s contents refused to back him. The Hill reports that Wild: ...was absent from the panel’s meeting last week after being traced as the source of leaks to the press regarding the investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz , sources told The Hill. It remains unclear if Wild voluntarily skipped the Thursday gathering or was asked not to attend, what information she leaked and to whom, and how the panel tracked her back as being the leaker. Two sources said Wild ultimately acknowledged to the panel that she had leaked information. Wild had expressed her anger after Guest told media following a November 20 meeting that the committee had not agreed to release the report. Wild took to the media to call that statement “inaccurate.” Guest “betrayed the process by disclosing our deliberations within moments after walking out of the committee,” Wild said in justifying her own reasoning for going to the press. Wild herself had previously told reporters that the Gaetz report should be released. The committee is known for its intense secrecy and rarely issues an official statement to the press except when required by statute or House rules to provide notice of its actions. Wild’s Chief of Staff, Jed Ober, disputed The Hill’s sources, claiming her frustration over the handling of the yet-to-be-released report was the reason for her attendance issues. “Rep. Wild was frustrated by the manner in which the report was handled and didn’t feel it was fruitful to participate in any further meetings on its ‘potential’ release,” Ober told The Hill. “Characterizing it as anything more is inaccurate. There will be no further statement.” He declined to comment when asked if Wild, who lost her reelection bid in November to Republican Ryan Mackenzie, would attend future meetings regarding the Gaetz report. Reports of Wild’s leaking, as well as the rare public dispute between committee leaders and the unusual timeline of the reinvigorated investigation of Gaetz, cast a shadow on the committee’s investigation and motivations. The leaks, wherever they came from, also raise questions about the committee’s operations. The Hill reports: Various pieces of information about the years-long probe into Gaetz have leaked in recent months, including logistics about meetings, votes taken during those gatherings, and the panel’s plan to vote on releasing the report days after he announced his resignation. Any leaks from members and staff are a violation of the committee’s rules: Individuals on the panel take an oath swearing they will not disclose unauthorized information. Members of the committee and their staffs must take an oath which reads : I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will not disclose, to any person or entity outside the Committee on Ethics, any information received in the course of my service with the Committee, except as authorized by the Committee or in accordance with its rules. The usually sleepy committee has awoken to make plenty of headlines this Congress. Most notably, Republicans on the committee have been criticized for partnering with Democrats to punish Republicans while letting Democrats off the hook. As Breitbart reported : In 2023, the committee broke decades of precedent by releasing its investigation into Republican Rep. George Santos (R-NY) despite the congressman not yet having his day in court for his alleged crimes. The report led to Santos’s expulsion from Congress after prior attempts had failed. When the House last expelled a member, Rep. Jim Traficant (D-OH) in 2002, it did so only after Traficant was found guilty in court. The Ethics Committee then did not even begin an investigation until Traficant’s court case had concluded. The loss of Santos’s reliable conservative vote cost Republicans. Most notably, the House embarrassingly failed by a single vote to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Meanwhile, this Congress, the Republican-chaired committee chose not to take action against Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), despite the congressman pleading guilty after pulling a fire alarm in a House office building that disrupted a House vote — allegedly to prevent House Republicans from passing a spending bill while Senate Democrats readied a package of their own, a potential felony. Committee membership is split evenly between Republicans and Democrats; therefore the math dictates at least one Republican – possibly more – voted to release its report on George Santos, while no Democrats voted to take action against Bowman – already a convicted felon for his actions. The committee is traditionally composed of establishment Republicans. As Breitbart News reported : The Ethics Committee — which, lacking a legislative jurisdiction, provides its members no capability to extract campaign funds from the donor class — is not highly sought after by members of Congress and is generally seen as a chore. Its members usually serve by request of their party’s respective leader and are usually appointed for their loyalty to leadership — often in exchange for other favors quietly bestowed by leadership. Speaker Johnson, who became Speaker after the current members were seated on the committee, responded to a question from Axios’s Juliegrace Brufke Tuesday regarding Wild’s alleged leaking of the report, saying he had not yet spoken to Guest but that “there ought to be repercussions.” “We can’t set that as a precedent,” he said of the leaks. “It’s dangerous.” Gaetz has long denied the allegations against him, arguing the committee only restarted its investigation due to his leading the ouster of Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) – to whom all members of the committee, including Guest, owe their spot on the committee . Also serving are Reps. David Joyce (R-OH), John Rutherford (R-FL), Andrew Garbarino (R-NY), and Michelle Fischbach (R-MN). Gaetz has repeatedly called ou t Guest for his successful stock trading practices and for his acknowledged failure to disclose to the very Ethics Committee he leads a family stock (as well as his voting record), arguing the Ethics Committee should take up reforms to stock trading by members of Congress. As Attorney General, Gaetz would have oversees federal investigations into members of Congress for insider trading or other corruption — including Guest. Democrats are not done demanding the release of the report into Gaetz, who remains a Trump ally and recently announced he would host a primetime program on One America News. Last week, Democrats forced a vote on the floor to release the vote, although Republicans successfully used a procedural method to prevent its release. But Guest himself told reporters the committee is not yet finished meeting for the year. And regardless of whether Wild attends, the committee’s Republicans have a clear recent history of taking action against the conservative Gaetz and Santos. We may not have seen the last of the ongoing Gaetz report saga, but if voters concerned with accountable government had their way, it’s the investigators themselves who would fall under the microscope.

By JOSH BOAK WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden said Tuesday he was “stupid” not to put his own name on pandemic relief checks in 2021, noting that Donald Trump had done so in 2020 and likely got credit for helping people out through this simple, effective act of branding. Biden did the second-guessing as he delivered a speech at the Brookings Institution defending his economic record and challenging Trump to preserve Democratic policy ideas when he returns to the White House next month.

As Biden focused on his legacy with his term ending, he suggested Trump should keep the Democrats’ momentum going and ignore the policies of his allies. The president laid out favorable recent economic data but acknowledged his rare public regret that he had not been more self-promotional in advertising the financial support provided by his administration as the country emerged from the pandemic. “I signed the American Rescue Plan, the most significant economic recovery package in our history, and also learned something from Donald Trump,” Biden said at the Washington-based think tank. “He signed checks for people for 7,400 bucks ... and I didn’t. Stupid.” The decision by the former reality TV star and real estate developer to add his name to the checks sent by the U.S. Treasury to millions of Americans struggling during the coronavirus marked the first time a president’s name appeared on any IRS payments. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris , who replaced him as the Democratic nominee , largely failed to convince the American public of the strength of the economy. The addition of 16 million jobs, funding for infrastructure, new factories and investments in renewable energy were not enough to overcome public exhaustion over inflation, which spiked in 2022 and left many households coping with elevated grocery, gasoline and housing costs. More than 6 in 10 voters in November’s election described the economy as “poor” or “not so good,” according to AP VoteCast, an extensive survey of the electorate. Trump won nearly 7 in 10 of the voters who felt the economy was in bad shape, paving the way for a second term as president after his 2020 loss to Biden. Biden used his speech to argue that Trump was inheriting a strong economy that is the envy of the world. The inflation rate fell without a recession that many economists had viewed as inevitable, while the unemployment rate is a healthy 4.2% and applications to start new businesses are at record levels. Biden called the numbers under his watch “a new set of benchmarks to measure against the next four years.” “President-elect Trump is receiving the strongest economy in modern history,” said Biden, who warned that Trump’s planned tax cuts could lead to massive deficits or deep spending cuts. He also said that Trump’s promise of broad tariffs on foreign imports would be a mistake, part of a broader push Tuesday by the administration to warn against Trump’s threatened action. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen also issued a word of caution about them at a summit of The Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council. “I think the imposition of broad based tariffs, at least of the type that have been discussed, almost all economists agree this would raise prices on American consumers,” she said. Biden was also critical of Trump allies who have pushed Project 2025 , a policy blueprint from the Heritage Foundation that calls for a complete overhaul of the federal government. Trump has disavowed participation in it, though parts were written by his allies and overlap with his stated views on economics, immigration, education policy and civil rights. “I pray to God the president-elect throws away Project 2025,” Biden said. “I think it would be an economic disaster.” Associated Press writer Fatima Hussein in Washington contributed to this report.CP Sonubi Lists Six-Month Achievements, Confirms 153 Arrests, Recovery Of Vehicles, Firearms, Ammunition, Others
Browns restructure QB Deshaun Watson's contract to create cap space, flexibility, AP source saysEarlier this year, the federal government flagged it plans to require businesses to accept cash as payment for essentials. But as cash use continues to decline, its role in the flow of money is becoming more niche. Here's what to know about where cash use currently stands in Australia. Weren't businesses already required to accept cash? There's a common misconception that all businesses operating in Australia must accept cash because it's legal tender. That's not the case. According to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission , current laws allow businesses to choose which payment types they accept. But it notes vendors should be upfront with customers if they choose to go cashless. So what does legal tender actually mean? The Macquarie Dictionary defines it as "currency which may be lawfully tendered or offered in payment of money debts and which may not be refused by creditors". In practice, that means businesses are allowed to set the commercial terms of payment before a contract is entered into. The Reserve Bank of Australia says if a business "specifies other means of payment prior to the contract, then there is usually no obligation for legal tender to be accepted as payment". But if other means of settlement weren't specified in advance, cash can't be refused as payment of an existing debt. Is cash going to be around much longer? The use of cash has been steadily declining in recent decades. In 2022, cash made up just 13 per cent of in-person transactions , compared with almost 70 per cent in 2007. A look at the age of cash users can give us more of a glimpse at where its usage will head in the future, too. The 2022 Consumer Payment Survey found cash use is highest among older Australians. Of the respondents aged over 65, 18 per cent were considered high cash users — that is, those who use cash for at least 80 per cent of their in-person transactions. That rate drops substantially among younger demographics, where only three per cent of those aged under 50 were found to be high cash users . The data also suggested improved digital payment infrastructure has contributed to the trend. Concerns about some merchants only accepting cash, payments to friends and poor internet access were less present among respondents in 2022 compared with just three years prior. The survey's findings indicate there's still room for the trend to continue downward as young Australians shirk shrapnel and digital payments become increasingly accessible. In June 2023, Peter Martin, a visiting fellow at the Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National University, wrote that pure data extrapolation suggests cash has "less than a decade to go" but will "probably hang around for longer" as a back-up that maintains privacy. Is there still a need for cash? Yes. One of the biggest arguments for maintaining cash payment options is its role during outages. Physical notes and coins can act as a back-up during weather events or technology failures, like the global CrowdStrike outage, that take payment networks offline. A spokesperson for the Reserve Bank of Australia added that in addition to acting as a fallback payment option, "cash remains an important means of payment for some people and is widely held for precautionary or store-of-wealth purposes". "For these reasons, the RBA places a high priority on the community continuing to have reasonable access to cash withdrawal and deposit services." Are businesses allowed to charge debit card surcharges? While it's legal for businesses to add a surcharge to debit card transactions, the rules could be about to change. In October, the federal government announced $2.1 billion in funding for the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to tackle excessive surcharges. The government also flagged it would be willing to ban the fees altogether from January 1, 2026, subject to further work from the Reserve Bank of Australia. Debit card surcharges are where a business adds a small fee to an item or service's cost if a customer pays with an electronic payment — that is, through EFTPOS. That extra charge is designed to cover the cost of processing the payment. While debit card surcharges are currently legal in Australia, there are numerous countries where that's not the case. Australian Banking Association chief executive Anna Bligh is supportive of reviewing the laws around surcharges as cash becomes increasingly obsolete. "I very much welcome this review because the rules are 20 years old," she told 6PR in October . "If you think about it, 20 years ago, most of us, the only card we used was a credit card. "The world has changed. It's unrecognisable since the rules were made, and it's well overdue that we had a really good look at this." ABCRussia calls for neutrality in IAEA's approach to Iran’s nuclear program
Canadian negotiators are downplaying concerns about the impact the pending Trump administration will have on the state of the Columbia River Treaty modernization efforts between Canada and the United States. Both sides reached an "agreement in principle (AIP)" earlier this year amid efforts to update the decades-old flood control and power generation agreement between the two countries. However, as the U.S. White House transitions from Democratic president Joe Biden to Republican Donald Trump, concerns raised by the public about the immediate future of the treaty were front and centre during a virtual info session held on Dec. 19. While in California during the U.S. election campaign in September, President-elect Donald Trump suggested a "very large faucet" in B.C. could help California's drought. Stephen Gluck, the lead federal negotiator with Global Affairs Canada, said the treaty's modernization efforts spanned back to the first Trump administration through the Biden administration and will continue no matter who is in power in the United States. "Obviously, there's profile and media attention to comments like that," Gluck said. "I will say though that the Columbia River Treaty is a treaty that has been for power and flood risk management and we have moved towards modernizing it for some other means, but essentially it is a regional and a contained treaty. We don't necessarily follow or look for those remarks and our team right now is focused on modernizing the treaty...as soon as we can." B.C. energy minister Adrian Dix, who was also in virtual attendance, concurred. "I think what we have to do, and what we have to continue to do, is do the work of defending Canadian interests, Columbia Basin interests, British Columbia interests, and not be distracted in that work by the political discussions of the time," Dix said. The info session also included representation from Columbia Basin MLAs, the Province of B.C. as well as Indigenous representatives from the Syilx Okanagan and Ktunaxa Nations. Originally ratified in 1964, the Columbia River Treaty was a water management agreement between the two countries that focused on downstream flood control management and power generation. The treaty facilitated the creation of three dams in B.C. — Mica, Duncan and Keenleyside — as well the Libby dam in Montana. However, when it was drafted, it was essentially done without any input from Indigenous Nations, as the resulting reservoirs flooded out Indigenous territory, affecting cultural, heritage and ecological values. Among the key elements of a modernized treaty is a focus on ecosystem function and re-framing the agreement to treating the Columbia River as a one-river system that flows over traditional Indigenous territory and a number of federal and state jurisdictions. That effort has been led by Indigenous governments in both countries. The Secwépemc, Syilx Okanagan and Ktunaxa Nations were invited to participate as official observers with the Canadian delegation in 2018, and led the focus on ecosystem function along with U.S.-based Indigenous governments. During the info session, Jay Johnson, the lead negotiator for the Syilx Okanagan Nation, reflected on the significance of Indigenous participation in the treaty modernization efforts. "This is a pretty profoundly important journey that we are on right now in that never in the history of the contemporary world have Indigenous communities had a voice directly at the table in international bilateral negotiations," Johnson said, "and both governments had the foresight and the understanding to include the three Nations and the Untied States to include the U.S. tribes in helping to shape and form and participate in the negotiations and that's a pretty important step in the journey of reconciliation." Major elements of the new AIP include increased domestic flexibility for the Canadian treaty dams, particularly for ecosystem and Indigenous values. Additionally, a new flood-risk management regime replaces the existing one, as the U.S. will now pay Canada $37.6 million (USD) indexed to inflation until 2044. Canada will receive an additional $16.6 million (USD) in recognition of other benefits that the U.S. receives due to Canada's operations of the three treaty dams. The Canadian Entitlement is the share of the power benefit by coordinating flows in the three Canadian reservoirs for incremental power generation above and beyond what's already generated in the U.S. However, for every million-acre feet that is used for Canadian flexibility, the Entitlement will be reduced by 6.5 per cent, as there is no corresponding power benefit to the U.S. Other elements of the modernized AIP include an Indigenous and Tribal advisory body, salmon reintroduction and ensuring flows for salmon and a transboundary Kootenay/Kootenai working group. Before the treaty is finalized, it must pass approvals processes federally in both Canada and the U.S., as well as in British Columbia. With files from Lauren Collins
