Jimmy Carter, 39th US president, Nobel winner, dies at 100
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vowed to implement the “toughest” anti-U.S. policy, state media reported Sunday, less than a month before Donald Trump takes office as U.S. president. Trump’s return to the White House raises prospects for high-profile diplomacy with North Korea. During his first term, Trump met Kim three times for talks on the North's nuclear program. Many experts however say a quick resumption of Kim-Trump summitry is unlikely as Trump would first focus on conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. North Korea's support for Russia's war against Ukraine also poses a challenge to efforts to revive diplomacy, experts say. During a five-day plenary meeting of the ruling Workers’ Party that ended Friday, Kim called the U.S. “the most reactionary state that regards anti-communism as its invariable state policy.” Kim said that the U.S.-South Korea-Japan security partnership is expanding into “a nuclear military bloc for aggression." “This reality clearly shows to which direction we should advance and what we should do and how,” Kim said, according to the official Korean Central News Agency. It said Kim's speech “clarified the strategy for the toughest anti-U.S. counteraction to be launched aggressively” by North Korea for its long-term national interests and security. KCNA didn't elaborate on the anti-U.S. strategy. But it said Kim set forth tasks to bolster military capability through defense technology advancements and stressed the need to improve the mental toughness of North Korean soldiers. The previous meetings between Trump and Kim had not only put an end to their exchanges of fiery rhetoric and threats of destruction, but they developed personal connections. Trump once famously said he and Kim “fell in love.” But their talks eventually collapsed in 2019, as they wrangled over U.S.-led sanctions on the North. North Korea has since sharply increased the pace of its weapons testing activities to build more reliable nuclear missiles targeting the U.S. and its allies. The U.S. and South Korea have responded by expanding their military bilateral drills and also trilateral ones involving Japan, drawing strong rebukes from the North, which views such U.S.-led exercises as invasion rehearsals. Further complicating efforts to convince North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons in return for economic and political benefits is its deepening military cooperation with Russia. According to U.S., Ukrainian and South Korean assessments, North Korea has sent more than 10,000 troops and conventional weapons systems to support Moscow's war against Ukraine. There are concerns that Russia could give North Korea advanced weapons technology in return, including help to build more powerful nuclear missiles. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said last week that 3,000 North Korean troops have been killed and wounded in the fighting in Russia's Kursk region. It was the first significant estimate by Ukraine of North Korean casualties since the North Korean troop deployment to Russia began in October. Russia and China, locked in separate disputes with the U.S., have repeatedly blocked U.S.-led pushes to levy more U.N. sanctions on North Korea despite its repeated missile tests in defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions. Last month, Kim said that his past negotiations with the United States only confirmed Washington’s “unchangeable” hostility toward his country and described his nuclear buildup as the only way to counter external threats.Millions of Australians set to swelter in major heatwave as temperatures soar to the 40s

We have more newsletters Show Me No thanks, close See our Privacy Notice A Northamptonshire councillor has accused the Labour government of holding the New Hospital Programme review as part of a "warm-up exercise" before cutting funding. The local Conservative party passed a motion last Thursday (December 5) asking the leader to write to government for an 'urgent commitment' towards delivering the funding for the Kettering General Hospital (KGH) rebuild. A Labour Paty spokesperson said that hospital building commitments made under the previous Conservative government were "both unfunded and based on an entirely fictional timetable" and that their review is "working at pace". The previous government's 40 New Hospitals Programme was put under review by Labour as part of nationwide cost-saving measures and plans for a total renovation of KGH remain in limbo. So far, funding has only been secured for a new energy centre and the full business case for the North Northants hospital is yet to be approved. Burton and Broughton councillor Alex Evelyn (Cons), called on North Northants Council (NNC) Leader Jason Smithers to write to the Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, to ask for confirmation of the hospital's business case and funding so the rebuild can begin. Hospital bosses have already confirmed that the new KGH would not be complete by the previous Government's 2030 deadline . Proposing the motion at a full council, Cllr Evelyn said: " On the 10 June, when the Chancellor came to Kettering, she said that the Tory claim that Labour would shelve KGH is 'a load of rubbish'. It’s interesting how over the space of five or six months the 'load of rubbish' seems to be coming from Labour’s promises. "While I accept that no final decision has been made on whether KGH has been completely cancelled, the dither and delay will inevitably impact the morale of staff and patients. It would be nice to see this evening if local Labour would have the courage to fight for our residents, our community and our much-needed infrastructure investment." During the debate, Labour Group leader Cllr Matt Keane accused the Conservative motion of turning the issue into a "political football match". He asked that the chamber support his amendment, which included a statement on the previous Conservative government's 'failure' to outline spending commitments or a realistic timeline. He said the project had gone "off track" long before Labour took office and that the previous administration should have made more progress. "The one thing the project needs is a realistic timeline and a proper budget- this was not achieved by the previous government. It’s misleading to say the £620m earmarked for Kettering General Hospital because it’s a matter of public record that only £9.5m was allocated. "I’m hoping that the members opposite will support this amendment which will take the political football out of it, ask the leader to write to Wes Streeting to approve the rebuild of Kettering General Hospital, commit the funding required and outline a realistic timeline to deliver the project." Windmill councillor Anne Lee (Lab) said that their proposal removed what she called "factual inaccuracies" in the original motion. She added: "Yes, of course we need a new hospital, but you can’t expect the current government to magic up money that was promised twice by Philip Hollobone, but not delivered by the previous government." Leader of NNC, Cllr Jason Smithers said: "I think probably that a lot of the money and these black holes that keep appearing everywhere is really just a thing of your government paying its paymasters in the unions and looking after the train drivers rather than looking after the residents of North Northamptonshire. "Support us on our motion, we’ll hopefully get our hospital, we’ll all put pressure on the government. If we don’t put that pressure on now, in five years we will get to breaking point at that hospital." Labour councillor Leanne Buckingham responded to his claims, saying that they were paying key workers a fair and decent wage, not so-called "paymasters". She added: "We all want this, we desperately need a hospital that is fit for purpose and that is accessible." The opposition's amendment was voted out 38 to nine, with two members abstaining from voting. Deputy leader of NNC, Cllr Helen Howell stood to address fellow councillors: "What I can’t understand is why anybody thinks that a review needs to take place because all of the due diligence was done previously. "A vote against this motion you are saying that actually all of the work that’s been done before, the fact that we need a new hospital, you disagree with. Our residents deserve a new hospital, stop these ridiculous reviews and get on with the job in hand." Summing up, Cllr Evelyn told the room before the vote: "You only have reviews when you’re going to cut something. This is the warm-up exercise before the cuts come." The original motion passed and Cllr Jason Smithers will write to the Health Secretary with the KGH requests. Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks.

The 12th Governing Council of the Lagos State Polytechnic has officially exited as its tenure for the polytechnic has been completed. The council announced its exit at a meeting held on Monday, December 9, 2024 at its Isolo Campus. The exit of the Polytechnic Governing Council became a necessity since the institution has been transformed into a university. In 2022, the Lagos State Polytechnic (LASPOTECH), Ikorodu, and two other higher institutions – Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education ((AOCOED), Ijanikin, Lagos; and Michael Otedola College of Primary Education (MOCPED), Noforija, Epe, Lagos formally assumed their new status as universities following the signing into law, the bills seeking conversion of the three institutions to universities by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. LASPOTECH was established in 1977 through a retroactive Lagos State Edict No. 1 of 1978 as a College of Science and Technology with the mission thrust that is vocational. However, it was immediately merged with the Lagos State School of Agriculture in Ikorodu in August of 1978. A decade after, which is in 1988, its nomenclature was changed to Lagos State Polytechnic. To some extent, the polytechnic had undergone some transition in its development. At the beginning, with about five departments, namely, Accountancy and Finance, Management and Business Studies, Insurance, Secretarial Studies and Basic Studies and offer of GCE ‘A’ Level courses in the Arts and Sciences, it has now over 56 programmes which include Accountancy, Agricultural Engineering/Technology, Agricultural Technology, Architectural Technology, Arts And Design, Banking And Finance, Building Technology, Business Administration & Management, Chemical Engineering Technology, Civil Engineering Technology, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology, Estate Management and Valuation, Fisheries Technology, Food Technology, Horticultural Technology, Hospitality Management, Insurance, Leisure and Tourism Management, Marketing, Mass Communication, Mechanical Engineering Technology, Mechatronics Engineering Technology, Office Technology And Management, Quantity Surveying, Science Laboratory Technology, Statistics, and Urban And Regional Planning among others. LASPOTECH has one more year to closed down and allow the new LASUTECH to assume its full status across the three campuses. Speaking at its exit meeting on Monday, the Chairman of the defunct LASPOTECH Governing Council, Prof. Rasheed Kola Ojikutu, noted that the council has to cease to exist since the institution has been transformed into a university. While appreciating the members of the council, Ojikutu stated that the council recorded a huge success due to the cooperation of the members. He boasted that he was able to steer the wheel of the council because of his contentment, integrity and humbleness. The council chairman said he detests people flaunting their power and using it at will. “I hate people using their power anyhow. Don’t use your power at will, it should be the last resort,” he said. He, therefore, appreciated all the members of the council for their support and resilience to the end of the tenure. Also speaking, the Poly Rector, Dr. Nurudeen Olaleye, said the council has to be dissolved in order to pave way for the university that has taken over the polytechnic. While appreciating the council for its support over the years, Olaleye said he was very lucky to work with the 12th council, saying it helped him to grow and have seamless tenure as the last rector of the legacy polytechnic. He appreciated the council especially the council chairman for creating conducive environment for him as a rector, saying working with the council chairman gave him the muscle to achieve greatly for the institution. He also appreciated Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for his effort to make the institution a best place to work. “We thank Almighty God for the journey so far. It is only by his grace that we are successful. “I will say I’m a very lucky person to have worked with this council. I had the opportunity to learn, unlearn and relearn.” Meanwhile, the LASUSTECH Vice Chancellor, Prof. Olumuyiwa Odusanya, who was represented by the University Registrar, David Ogungbe, appreciated the council especially for the infrastructure it was able to build in the university during the tenure.New Jersey Estate Planning Lawyer Christine Matus Offers Guidance on When to Update an Estate Plan 12-13-2024 07:32 PM CET | Politics, Law & Society Press release from: ABNewswire Estate planning is an essential step for individuals and families in New Jersey to safeguard their assets and ensure their wishes are respected in the event of illness, accident, or death. Christine Matus ( https://matuslaw.com/when-should-i-update-my-estate-plan-in-new-jersey/ ), a New Jersey estate planning lawyer at The Matus Law Group, provides critical insights into when and why estate plans should be updated to reflect changes in life circumstances, assets, or laws. Updating an estate plan is often overlooked once documents such as wills, trusts, and powers of attorney are initially prepared. New Jersey estate planning lawyer Christine Matus emphasizes that revisiting these documents regularly is vital. "Your estate plan should not be a static set of documents that you keep in a vault and never look at. As you experience life changes, these documents will need to be reviewed as well so that they accurately reflect your current circumstances," she explains. For residents of New Jersey, certain major life events are key indicators that it's time to review and update an estate plan. Christine Matus recommends consulting with a New Jersey estate planning lawyer to assess how these changes may affect legal documents. One such event is marriage, whether it's a first marriage or one later in life. Contrary to common belief, a spouse does not automatically inherit an estate in New Jersey, where state law grants spouses only one-third of an estate without a will. Using a will, individuals can override these default distributions, specifying the exact assets they wish to leave to their spouse. Another critical time to update an estate plan is after having children. Parents can designate a guardian for their children in their will, ensuring that the court doesn't appoint someone without their input. This is particularly important for blended families, where additional planning may be needed to include stepchildren or provide equitable distributions for all children. Changes in marital status, such as divorce or the death of a spouse, also necessitate updates to estate planning documents. Former spouses may need to be removed as beneficiaries, executors, or agents under powers of attorney, and new arrangements should be made to reflect current wishes. Relocation is another common reason to revisit an estate plan. State laws vary regarding how estates are handled, and documents drafted under New Jersey law may not align with the regulations of a new state. Christine Matus advises reviewing all state-specific elements of an estate plan after moving to ensure compliance with local laws and to account for potential differences in tax implications. While life events are significant triggers, estate plans should also be reviewed periodically. As a general rule, Christine Matus recommends revisiting documents every three to five years. Legislative changes, particularly in tax laws, can also impact the effectiveness of wills and trusts, making regular consultations with a New Jersey estate planning lawyer essential. Asset changes are another reason for updates. Acquiring new property, investments, or other valuable assets should prompt a review to ensure they are included in trusts or other estate planning mechanisms. Similarly, selling significant assets may require revisions to distribute remaining assets appropriately. Trusts are a common component of many estate plans, and like wills, they need regular updates to remain effective. Christine Matus highlights that trusts should be reviewed after major life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth or adoption of children, or the death of a family member. Changes in asset portfolios or tax laws also necessitate updates to trusts to ensure they align with current circumstances and goals. "Regular reviews with a qualified New Jersey estate planning attorney can help keep your trust accurate, legally compliant, and aligned with your wishes, providing peace of mind that your estate will be managed according to your intentions," says Christine Matus. An estate plan is not a one-time task. Life changes, financial shifts, and evolving laws require periodic reviews to keep documents current and effective. Christine Matus urges individuals to treat estate planning as an ongoing process rather than a one-and-done endeavor. Families who plan to travel for extended periods should also consider revisiting their estate plans. This is particularly important for those engaging in risky activities or spending extended time away, as an up-to-date estate plan ensures their wishes are clearly documented and enforceable. Maintaining an up-to-date estate plan is one of the most important steps New Jersey residents can take to protect their families and assets. Whether prompted by major life events or routine reviews, consulting with an experienced New Jersey estate planning lawyer ensures that documents reflect current wishes and comply with all legal requirements. For those seeking assistance with estate planning, Christine Matus and The Matus Law Group provide knowledgeable guidance tailored to individual needs.

The case of the bit came before Donegal Circuit Court as part of an infant ruling case. A barrister outlined the case to Judge John Aylmer explaining the boy was five years old when the accident happened in July 2021. The child was taking part in the game known as 'danger play' at the creche along with two other children. The court was told that the game involved a plank of wood being placed on a log. The boy was standing on one side of the plank and two children stood on the other end, causing him to fall off. The injured child was brought to hospital, where an x-ray confirmed a fracture to a wrist. Under anaesthetic, a corrective procedure was carried out and a plaster of Paris cast was applied. A follow-up appointment showed that the fracture position deteriorated and a further procedure was required. The boy was taken to theatre and the injury was stabilised using K-wires. The court heard that the boy has since started primary school and all injuries have been resolved. He has suffered no further complication and has a full range of motion, the barrister said. A previous offer of €20,415 of general damages was rejected in court. However, the barrister was happy to recommend approval of the new offer of €25,000. Judge John Aylmer said the offer was “very good” and granted its approval.
