Nikki Bella enjoys lunch with twin sister Brie in Napa Valley days after Artem Chigvintsev divorce finalized Have YOU got a story? Email tips@dailymail.com By TERRY ZELLER and DEIRDRE DURKAN-SIMONDS and DIANA COOPER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 17:45, 24 November 2024 | Updated: 17:54, 24 November 2024 e-mail 2 View comments Nikki Bella was spotted in Napa Valley with her twin sister Brie, just days after her highly publicized divorce from Artem Chigvintzev was finalized . The 41-year-old retired WWE star appeared to be in excellent spirits as she savored a birthday lunch at the renowned wine country destination on Thursday. Accompanying her were Brie, several gal pals, and her four-year-old son Matteo, whom she shares with the 42-year-old Dancing with the Stars pro. Dressed in a chic, neutral-toned ensemble with sleeveless cream coat, Nikki looked effortlessly stunning as she sipped on an iced coffee while enjoying an outdoor outing with her family. Her radiant demeanor made it seem as though she was miles away from the drama that had recently surrounded her personal life. Despite the divorce settlement and legal complexities—like the dismissal of restraining orders between the exes —Nikki appeared unfazed, enjoying the moment with a calm demeanor. Nikki Bella was spotted in Napa Valley with her twin sister Brie, just days after her highly publicized divorce from Artem Chigvintzev was finalized Also on the outing was Nikki's twin sister Brie Garcia The twins were celebrating their 41st birthday in the famed wine country According to court documents obtained by DailyMail.com, the restraining orders filed against each other were dismissed following a settlement. The documents show that a request to dismiss the temporary restraining orders was filed in Napa County on November 19. Read More EXCLUSIVE Artem Chigvintsev 'lost out on $100k' following domestic violence arrest Before their two-day hearing on December 5, the estranged couple took part in a mediation on November 8, which led to a settlement on all divorce-related matters. The documents also confirm that both temporary restraining orders—filed by Nikki on September 30 and Artem on October 3—were immediately terminated and are no longer in effect. In addition, DailyMail.com obtained court documents of three deputies being subpoenaed to court earlier this month: Deputy Michael Moore, Deputy Gregory Landry and Deputy Ronnie Galindo of Napa County Sheriff's Office. However, since the December 5th hearing was taken off the calendar, the officers are no longer needed in court. In Garcia's, 40, restraining order against Chigvintsev, she claimed he got cut from Dancing with the Stars season 33 a week before his arrest, and began working a construction job she says he felt 'was beneath him.' However in documents filed by Chigvintsev he claimed that was not the case, and that he enjoys construction work. Ahead of their two-day hearing, beginning on December 6, the estranged couple attended a mediation on November 8, resulting in 'memorializing a global settlement of all issues in this Dissolution of Marriage action' (seen in 2017) Chigvintsev was arrested August 29 in Yountville, California in connection with domestic violence , but prosecutors in Napa County ultimately decided against filing criminal charges in the case. Garcia later filed for divorce and unsuccessfully requested sole custody of their son Matteo, four, with the pair granted temporary restraining orders against each other. In legal documents obtained by DailyMail.com and filed October 31 in Napa Superior Court, DWTS pro Chigvintsev - who was axed from the show's latest season - says the trauma of the arrest and false allegations led to him losing substantial income. The documents read: 'It is not true that I have not been able to find other work as a dancer. I normally start jobs in November and it goes for 20 weekends. After the mug shot and the arrest based on her false allegations, I was taken off the website faculty list resulting in loss of over $100k in income.' 'I also lost the social media promotion revenue, which she continues to benefit from as she was more worried about her career when she lied to the police, than mine.' At the time, he was seeking Nikki to pay his out-of-pocket expenses because the TRO was granted without enough supporting facts. He is asking her to pay for his rent because 'I was kicked out of the home.' The dancer also wants Nikki to pay for some or all of his lawyer's fees and costs. Chigvintsev claims in the documents that Garcia has 'anger issues' and says: 'She is the one with the temper. I try to stay quiet and avoid it. She yells, and on 8/29/24 was yelling, pursuing me, and was the one who attacked me.' 'It is further a lie that I was growing increasingly angry, snapping at her, and yelling.' The former couple share a four-year-old son Matteo Chigvintsev was arrested August 29 in Yountville, California in connection with domestic violence, but prosecutors in Napa County ultimately decided against filing criminal charges in the case (seen in his mugshot) 'I was not violent with her and did not violently grab or yell at her.' He claims the pair had an argument when he was due to to have surgery but she had to go to New York. He claims: 'We had an argument, but it's not how she describes it. We agreed months before my surgery that she would be there with Matteo. I was supposed to fly to have my surgery on 5/19/24, she forgot about it and booked herself for work in New York.' 'She then told me that her work was more important than my medical procedure, so she ended up leaving. Our son was left with nanny. I canceled my ticket and stayed behind. She then started sending me texts for different flight I could take, so I ended up going because she insisted I go. I have texts to prove this.' In response to the request for a Domestic Violence Restraining Order he claimed: 'She abused me, not the other way around. She threw shoes at me, followed me and tried to break her way into the bedroom.' 'I cannot trust her anymore. Not only did she lie to the police so that her career remains intact, ruining mine, but she used the court proceeding to keep our son away from me for almost a month, not letting me see him until this Court issued its 50/50 orders on 10/15/2024, which I am very grateful for,' he wrote. 'Almost a month without Matteo was miserable for me, and I am sure for him as well, and selfish of Wife.' In September, Chigvintsev told People in a statement that he was 'incredibly relieved and grateful that the domestic violence charges against [him] have been dropped.' 'This has been an extremely difficult time for me. I am thankful that the truth has prevailed. My focus has always been and will always be, our son Matteo,' he said. Artem met Nikki on DWTS - they competed together on the show in 2017, and went on to marry in 2022; the pair pictured together in 2017 The ballroom dance expert said that he considers fatherhood 'the greatest blessing' and is focused on caring for his son moving forward. 'All along, my main concern has been for him,' Chigvintsev said. 'I am committed to continuing to provide him with the love, support, and care he needs as we move forward.' He said to the publication that he was 'hopeful that securing an equal custody arrangement will help us move on' in life. 'I want to express my deepest gratitude to my family, friends, and legal team for standing by me during this challenging time,' Chigvintsev said. 'Your support has been invaluable, and I am thankful to everyone who believed in me and saw the truth for what it was. 'I look forward to moving past this chapter and focusing on what truly matters - continue being the best father I can be.' On October 16 the judge ruled that the pair will share custody of their son Matteo, TMZ reported citing court docs, more than a month after Garcia filed for divorce. Garcia had petitioned the court for sole custody of their son; asked for the court to appoint a supervisor for Matteo's visits with the Izhevsk, Russia native; and asked that Chigvintsev be ordered to attend anger management courses; all requests were denied by the court, according to the outlet. Both Chigvintsev and Garcia were ordered by the court to enroll in parenting classes to help them remain cordial as they raise their child following their split.

Police had started investigations based on a complaint received from the trader, a resident of Banjara Hills, filed on October 21. The trader stated that he was induced to join a trading-related WhatsApp group and later persuaded to invest in block trades and IPOs through a fraudulent application. Since August, the victim had transferred Rs 8,14,48,000 to accounts linked to the scam, Shikha Goel, TGCSB director, said in a press release on Sunday. After releasing the fraud the victim reported to the state cybercrime helpline. “We formed special teams and identified the accused through his server as Sharvan Kumar Sharma alias Shravan Kumar Sharma (43) and arrested him from his house in Rajasthan,” Shikha said. During interrogation the accused Sharma revealed that he used to pose as a representative of reputed trading firms and target victims through social media platforms Once the victims join, Sharma and his accomplices conduct online sessions to explain trading strategies and promote fake stock broking applications, she said. They persuade victims to invest in high-yield schemes, such as IPOs and block trades, by promising guaranteed allotments through institutional investor routes, claiming exclusivity and high returns. When victims attempt to withdraw funds, the app displays errors or imposes additional demands such as regulatory fees, inspection charges, or penalties for transaction irregularities. Investigations are underway to uncover the entire network involved in the fraudulent activities. Meanwhile, the bureau has urged the public to remain vigilant against online financial frauds and avoid clicking on unsolicited links or joining unverified investment groups on social media platforms.

Trying to fit in routines around work can be tricky, especially for women. New research from Vitality’s ‘Active women, healthy lives’ report finds that eight in 10 women under 50 say their demanding work schedules are holding them back from being active. As a result, a quarter of women exercise less than once a week (25%), and over half of women exercise less than they used to (52%). Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill, in partnership with Vitality, is launching Walk Out to Work Out, a new initiative encouraging women to reclaim time during their busy working days to stay active.

The full ‘Active women, healthy lives’ report can be found on the website here . Jessica shared: "As a busy mum and business owner, I know how challenging it can be to fit in long workouts. That’s why I swear by short bursts of activity—what I call "exercise snacks." "Whether it’s a 5-minute stretch between meetings or a quick walk to clear your mind, these small moments can really add up and keep you feeling active without disrupting your day. Jessica explained: "When I need to take calls or brainstorm ideas, I often head out for a walk with my dog while doing it – ticking off two things I have to do. I find it not only helps me stay active but also boosts my creativity and focus. "Turn phone calls or virtual meetings into walking meetings where possible. It’s a simple way to add movement while staying productive." "As someone who’s juggled intense schedules, I’ve learned the importance of protecting my lunch break," Jessica said. "I use part of it for physical activity, whether it’s a quick workout, a jog, or a calming walk. "If you feel like your lunch break has disappeared into your workday, speak to your employer about how you can reclaim that time — it’s yours to use for your well-being. I suggest putting it in the diary as a meeting – this will ring-fence the time for you." Jessica explained: "I have worked with a lot of different sponsors and their teams and I’ve seen the difference it makes when workplaces support physical activity. "If you’re struggling to stay active, don’t hesitate to share your thoughts with your employer. Suggest ideas like walking meetings, group exercise activities, or even flexible working hours to make staying active more achievable. "Remember, these changes benefit everyone, from employees to the company itself. Recommended reading: Jessica said: "I rely on technology to keep me on track. Fitness trackers or simple alarms can remind you to stand, stretch, or take a short walk every hour. "Even small movements like this can make a huge difference to your energy levels and focus throughout the day."

Vandal smashes Ebenezer Scrooge's tombstone used in 'A Christmas Carol' movie LONDON (AP) — If life imitates art, a vandal in the English countryside may be haunted by The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Police in the town of Shrewsbury are investigating how a tombstone at the fictional grave of Ebenezer Scrooge was destroyed. The movie prop used in the 1984 adaption of Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol” had become a tourist attraction. The film starred George C. Scott as the cold-hearted curmudgeon who is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve who show him what will become of his life if he doesn’t become a better person. West Mercia Police say the stone was vandalized in the past week. Megachurch founder T.D. Jakes suffers health incident during sermon at Dallas church DALLAS (AP) — The founder of Dallas-based megachurch The Potter's House, Bishop T.D. Jakes, was hospitalized after suffering what the church called a “slight health incident.” Jakes was speaking to churchgoers after he sat down and began trembling as several people gathered around him Sunday at the church. Jakes' daughter Sarah Jakes Roberts and her husband Touré Roberts said in a statement on social media late Sunday that Jakes was improving. The 67-year-old Jakes founded the non-denominational The Potter's House in 1996 and his website says it now has more than 30,000 members with campuses in Fort Worth and Frisco, Texas; and in Denver. At the crossroads of news and opinion, 'Morning Joe' hosts grapple with aftermath of Trump meeting The reaction of those who defended “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for meeting with President-elect Trump sounds almost quaint in the days of opinionated journalism. Doesn't it makes sense, they said, for hosts of a political news show to meet with such an important figure? But given how “Morning Joe” has attacked Trump, its viewers felt insulted. Many reacted quickly by staying away. It all reflects the broader trend of opinion crowding out traditional journalist in today's marketplace, and the expectations that creates among consumers. By mid-week, the show's audience was less than two-thirds what it has typically been this year. Pilot dies in plane crash in remote woods of New York, puppy found alive WINDHAM, N.Y.

The flight was connected with a not-for-profit group that transports rescue animals. Warren Buffett gives away another $1.1B and plans for distributing his $147B fortune after his death OMAHA, Neb.

Buffett has said previously that his three kids will distribute his remaining $147.4 billion fortune in the 10 years after his death, but now he has also designated successors for them because it’s possible that Buffett’s children could die before giving it all away. Buffett said he has no regrets about his decision to start giving away his fortune in 2006.

Herro leads Heat over Rockets in game marred by fight and ejections in final minuteAllison Kuch Instagram As the new year is approaching celebrities are sharing their vision for next year and challenges they faced in 2024, joining the list Allison Kuch, the wife of former Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Isaac Rochell, is ready to hit the reset button in 2025. After a whirlwind few years filled with life changes and challenges, Kuch opened up on Instagram about her struggles and her hope for a fresh start in the new year. "I’m Ready for a New Chapter" It's Friday, and Kuch decided to take a moment to be open about what the last four years have been like for her. From constant moves, ups and downs of hubby's NFL career, through home renovations, and adding personal stressors, the ride has been quite wild. “2025 is truly a year I’m hoping to 'get myself back.' The past 4 years have been so crazy with moving, new teams, new friends, A LOT of stress, football, no football, home renovations, etc. Basically just running around and not taking time for myself to find what I love and follow that. Kuch expressed her excitement for the clean slate that January 1 represents, even if it’s just another day. She added: “I can’t wait to have a fresh start (even thought January 1st 2025 is just another day) I’m truly going to use it as a new chapter. Idk if people can relate - moms or no moms but I’m just ready for a new year.” (Image Source: Kuch/IG) A Journey Through Challenges Kuch has been very open on social media, making her a relatable figure for many. Over the past year, she has shared her struggles with her mental health, the challenges of being a first-time mom, and the uncertainty surrounding her husband Isaac Rochell's NFL career. Rochell, who was set to become a free agent in November 2023 once she left the Raiders, continues to struggle finding a spot on any NFL roster. This definitely has added to the angst Kuch wrote about having. Motherhood and Mental Health One of the most honest moments Kuch shared was in August where she spoke about how the breastfeeding had affected her mind during her first pregnancy. She wrote: "The way I know my mental health would improve if I stopped pumping, but at the same time, I think it would make my mental health worse. Also, how do you ween from breastmilk at one year? Go to a toddler formula? Straight to cows milk? Where is the manual? What did moms do before Google. Kuch also described feeling stuck in a “negative space,” where bad things seemed to pile up: "Side note: I feel like I'm in a weird negative space where bad/inconvenient things keep happening & then I feel like I sunk, so I attract more bad things. Like, hello universe, I'm trying to be positive over here, but you're making it hard." (Image Source: Kuch/Instagram) Hope for 2025 As 2025 approaches, Kuch’s message resonates with anyone seeking a fresh start after a tough period. Her willingness to share the messy, unfiltered side of life makes her journey relatable and inspiring. Also read - Gracie Hunt Celebrates Chiefs’ Success and Personal Milestones in 2024 Wrap-UpTHE provocative story of a young man sentenced to death by hanging for stealing a fowl should trigger a revolution in Nigeria’s criminal justice system. Segun Olowookere was just 17 in 2010 when police arrested him on charges of stealing a chicken and eggs from a relative’s house in Ikirun, Osun State. In court, the story assumed a dangerous dimension. He was charged with armed robbery, reportedly armed with a wooden gun and a machete. An alleged accomplice, Sunday Morakinyo, was also arrested. They were detained and tortured and moved from one police facility to another, Olowookere alleged. His father said the police asked him for N30,000 for his bail but he could only raise N20,000, which was rejected. While he was sourcing the outstanding N10,000, the teenager was moved to another police formation and then to court. The judge, Jide Falola, sentenced him to death by hanging after three witnesses testified against him. On this count, the judge was right: in Nigeria, armed robbery carries a death sentence. Olowookere has spent 10 years on the death row. Before his sentence, he had spent four years in police detention. In prison, he pursued his dream of becoming a medical doctor. He was accepted to train informally under the medical professionals in the prison system, hoping to enrol at a university if he got out. A podcast about him drew Governor Ademola Adeleke’s attention to his ordeal. On Thursday, the governor pardoned the duo along with 51 others. The prerogative of mercy is absent in many cases. A former attorney-general in the state insinuated that Adeleke was trying to free Olowookere by “underhand means.” But Olowookere denied robbing his uncle. Although the facts before the judge were that he robbed with a weapon, there was a hint that he was arraigned because his poor family could not meet the bail conditions. Courts should be presented with all the facts in a case to reach accurate, just decisions.

As of September 2024, there were 3,590 inmates on the death row in Nigeria. Out of that number, 3,517 were males and 73 were females. Those awaiting trial were 57,750. One thing the death row inmates have in common is poverty, says Amnesty International. “From their first contact with the police, through the trial process, to seeking pardon, those with the fewest resources are at a serious disadvantage... In Nigeria, the criminal justice system is deeply flawed.” That was why Olowookere spent 14 years between police detention cells and the death row dungeon. The World Justice Project’s Global Rule of Law Index, released in late October 2023, ranked Nigeria 100th on civil justice out of 142 countries and 86th on criminal justice. This is woeful. About 111 countries have abolished the death penalty except in extreme cases such as war, but Nigeria still practices it. Crime does not pay, and armed robbery is punishable by death. The major problem with Nigeria’s justice system is that politically exposed persons manipulate it and escape justice. In Nigeria, the more you steal, the better the chances of escaping retribution. Recklessly, the erstwhile President Muhammadu Buhari pardoned two former governors convicted of theft in 2022. So, powerful crooks flaunt their loot obscenely. The Osun chicken thief case is an opportunity for Nigeria to review and repeal obsolete laws that seem to tie judges’ hands and sentence the helpless to misery and death.

They quickly got in field goal range after a long catch by Moore and drilled the field goal to send the game into overtime. They outscored the Vikings 17-3 in the fourth quarter. The Bears went three-and-out on the first overtime possession, and that turned out to be the last time they would touch the ball on the day.

Aaron Jones also added 106 yards on the ground and another touchdown. Caleb Williams threw for 340 yards in the losing effort, while Moore had seven catches for 106 yards and a touchdown.

Bethenny Frankel has been using the term ‘Dior bags’ as a buzzword in her videos to avoid getting banned while addressing a controversial topic. Here’s what it means. TikToker Bethenny Frankel has been making waves with her fascination for “DroneTok,” but the topic hit a snag when it became too controversial for TikTok ‘s algorithms, leading to her videos disappearing from many users’ For You Pages. Determined to keep the conversation alive without risking takedowns or a shadow ban, the former reality star found a clever solution: speaking in code. She’s now disguising her drone discussions, and her followers are loving her creative workaround. ‘Dior bags’ meaning on TikTok Frankel and her followers have started using the term “Dior bags” as a code word for drones . Throughout December, she’s been actively sharing information about the recently spotted UFO-like drones over New Jersey and other states. Her TikTok videos detail insights she’s gathered from others as well as her own sightings. However, to avoid having her content flagged or banned on the platform, she has begun speaking in code when discussing the topic. “So the ‘Dior bags’ are real. They are our Dior bags,” she said in one of her videos about the drones. “I have cross referenced this now with people that have worked in organizations that we have heard of, who know about other organizations we have never even heard of, and operations to make these Dior bags,” she claimed. “And the one thing that the multiple people keep saying is that truth is stranger than fiction, and fiction has become reality, and that there are many things going on at once, at the same time.” Related: Frankel then explained that she “can’t even talk about it” on social media, and that’s “crazier” to her. She also added that “it’s become clear” to her that “people do not want me discussing the Dior bags, and yes, to be careful.” The buzzword has caught on quickly, with more than 19,000 TikTok videos now posted under the hashtag #Diorbags . Commenters on drone-related content have also used the term, leaving those unfamiliar with the code baffled about the sudden rise in discussions about “Dior bags.” If there are any other terms or phrases that are confusing you on TikTok, you can check out our guide here to learn all about the most popular terms and acronyms on the app.Insecurity: Stakeholders Harp on Youth Empowerment at Peace Achievers ConferenceThe Memphis Tigers made two technical free throws in the final minute of their overtime victory over UConn Huskies. The Memphis Tigers won the game by, well, two points in a 99-97 final. But UConn head coach Dan Hurley doesn't believe his technical foul cost his team the game. "I think it was the s--ty calls," he said, per Matt Norlander of CBS Sports. "I would expect to come to play in an event, and I don't know too many back-to-back national championship teams that get that type of a whistle." He also said he believes the technical was issued because he fell to the ground protesting an over-the-back call on an offensive rebound, adding "what I gave the cameras today was Oppenheimer" when discussing how he comes across on camera. "That was a joke," Hurley said of the technical, per Brendan Marks of The Athletic. "I mean, I just watched it ... I had a lot of issues with what went on in the game ... For that call to be made at that point in the game is a complete joke." He didn't stop there when complaining about the whistle: This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.

Criminal defense lawyer turned political activist (and Democrat turned Republican) Maud Maron is the first announced challenger to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg — and so a ray of hope for unseating the radical soft-on-crime prosecutor. Just a week ago, many in NYC political circles were despairing that Bragg would coast to re-election next year because no moderate Democrat had emerged as a challenger — and most likely won’t — in the June 25 Democratic primary. Running as a Republican in Manhattan will be no cakewalk, but ex-Democrat Maron can build on the the 120,000 “disaffected voters” who stayed home on Election Day rather than vote for Vice President Harris. Maron told The Post that she would work to restore public safety and justice, remove violent mentally ill people from city streets, prosecute criminals regardless of immigration status and repeal DA Bragg’s infamous “Day One memo.” And she brings her experience and insight as a Legal Aid criminal defense attorney to the race. As a member of Manhattan Community Education Council 2, Maron fights for students, parents and better schools — for education over ideology. Bragg’s focus on woke ideology over a commonsense approach to criminal justice and just prosecutions has endangered Manhattan residents and businesses. His decisions to prosecute Harlem bodega clerk Jose Alba , Daniel Penny , and Donald Trump were pure politics, while his refusal to go after repeat offenders and Tren de Aragua thugs is pure dereliction of duty. Plenty of New Yorkers want Alvin Bragg gone: Now they have a candidate.GSA Capital Partners LLP lifted its stake in shares of Cohu, Inc.

Patriots’ Jabrill Peppers’s trial scheduled for January, but he could be playing this SundayPresident-elect Donald Trump weighed in Saturday on the immigration issue that has been roiling some of his highest-profile supporters online, telling The New York Post that he has “always been in favor” of H-1B visas. It is not exactly true: Trump has waffled on his support for the H-1B program over the years, going so far as to suspend it late in his first term while his administration planned harsh new restrictions for workers seeking the visas. Denial rates also soared during Trump’s first term , while they plummeted after President Joe Biden took office. The program is designed as a pathway for highly skilled foreigners to legally work in the United States, often in fields related to science and technology. “I have many H-1B visas on my properties,” Trump told the Post. “I’ve been a believer in H-1B,” he added. “I have used it many times. It’s a great program.” His support comes as his billionaire ally Elon Musk has been going to bat for H-1Bs on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, which he owns. To many people, the H-1B program represents American meritocracy, helping the U.S. reward the best and brightest workers of any background. Some entrepreneurs see it as key to staffing their businesses to fuel growth. Anti-immigration hardliners, though, consider the program to be harmful to native-born American workers, and some want to abolish it completely. Trump’s hardline anti-immigration rhetoric helped power him to a second term in office — but there appears to be growing disagreement within his base over which groups of people should be excluded. “America rose to greatness over the past 150 years because it was a meritocracy more than anywhere else on Earth,” Musk wrote Friday. “I will fight to my last drop of blood to ensure that it remains that land of freedom and opportunity.” At another point , Musk said “those in the Republican Party who are hateful, unrepentant racists” were “contemptible fools” who should be “removed ... root and stem,” even though Musk himself been accused of fueling racist rhetoric . Vivek Ramaswamy, who will work with Musk on a commission to cut down government spending the duo considers wasteful, also voiced support for H-1Bs, although in a way that rankled some of his fellow conservatives . “American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long,” Ramaswamy wrote on X, arguing that the U.S. needed to import highly skilled foreign workers because of a supposed flaw in American work culture. On Jan. 20, Donald Trump will reclaim the most powerful seat in our nation's government. HuffPost will continue to fearlessly report on the new administration — but we need your help.

Fueling the backlash to H-1Bs on X this week was right-wing extremist Laura Loomer, who has been alleging Musk is not a true member of the “Make America Great Again” movement. Loomer accused Musk of “censoring” her and stepping on her right to free speech by revoking her blue verification check, claiming it vanished even though she paid for it. Related From Our Partner

Stuck in snow, while many sulked, some chose to allay their hardships by playing cricket inside the out-of-bounds 8.5-km Navyug Tunnel in Kashmir. Heavy snowfall has stranded hundreds of commuters on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway. Many spent the night inside their vehicles in the freezing temperature and demanded a fast reopening of the arterial road. The cold, however, failed to dampen certain sturdy spirits who warmed up with a good game of cricket inside the Navyug Tunnel that connects Banihal town in Ramban district of Jammu region with Qazigund in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district. A video of the scene showed up on social media and was shared widely. Authorities on Saturday pressed men and machinery to ensure early reopening of the highway – the only all-weather road linking Kashmir with the rest of the country. The highway was closed down for vehicular traffic late Friday evening after the heavy snowfall – this season’s first – rendered the road slippery. Ramban Deputy Commissioner Baseer-ul-Haq Chaudhary along with Senior Superintendent of Police Kulbir Singh visited Banihal to take stock of the situation. Many tourists had to spend the night inside their vehicles in the freezing temperatures. Lakhpat Behal, a tourist from Chandigarh, said they reached the tunnel around 7 pm on Friday and were not allowed to move forward. “We have been waiting in our vehicles for more than 20 hours, waiting for clearance from the authorities,” he told PTI near the Navyug tunnel. A newlywed couple from Mumbai was also forced to spend the night in the vehicle. “The policemen asked us to return from the tunnel while we were heading for Kashmir but there were no hotels for accommodation...It is a nightmare to stay in the vehicle for 20 hours with no information when the road is going to be thrown open,” the husband, who wished not to be named, said. Tourists from Sangrur-Punjab and Madhya Pradesh said their dream visit to Kashmir turned horrendous for them. “We had decided to visit Kashmir on New Year to enjoy snow. We did enjoy the snowfall but faced a lot of trouble. We were concerned for our children who had to spend the night in the vehicle,” Yasmeena, who was accompanied by two children and three more family members, said. Ramban, along with adjoining Doda and Kishtwar districts, experienced the first major snowfall overnight, much to the delight of the locals, especially agriculturalists and those associated with the tourism industry. The snowfall not only ended the nearly two-and-a-half months dry spell in the Chenab Valley region but also turned Bhaderwah, Bhallessa, Doda and Kishtwar towns white after a gap of two years.
