Dec 4 (Reuters) - Yelp (YELP.N) , opens new tab on Wednesday urged a federal appeals court to block a lawsuit by Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton accusing the company of posting misleading notices on its online review site about crisis pregnancy centers, which provide services to pregnant women with the goal of preventing abortions. James Sigel, a lawyer for Yelp, told the three-judge panel of the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that the case was an exception to the usual rule that federal courts should not intervene in state court disputes because Paxton had brought the case in bad faith. He called it "a particularly egregious example of an attorney general retaliating against a company." U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson in Oakland, California, rejected that argument in February, finding that Yelp had not provided enough "concrete evidence" of Paxton's bad faith. Sigel said that Thompson should have allowed discovery on that issue. Lanora Pettit, a lawyer for Paxton, told the panel it was Yelp's burden to prove bad faith and that it could not do so "by speculating as to the subjective motivations" behind the lawsuit. Yelp sued Paxton in Oakland federal court in September 2023 after hearing Paxton intended to sue the company, which he did the next day in Texas. Paxton said that notices Yelp posted on the review pages for crisis pregnancy centers violated a Texas law against unfair business practices and sought unspecified money damages. A Texas state court judge dismissed Paxton's lawsuit not long after Thompson's ruling, but Paxton is appealing. The 9th Circuit judges, all appointed by Republican President-elect Donald Trump during his first term, appeared skeptical of Yelp's argument on Wednesday. "If you win on this, we're going to have cases filed every week in federal court saying, I do not like what that state attorney general is doing to me," Circuit Judge Daniel Bress said. He added that Texas' justice system appeared to be working for Yelp, since it was "doing well there so far." Circuit Judge Mark Bennett asked Pettit whether a federal court could ever intervene to stop a politically motivated action by a state prosecutor. As an example, he asked whether such intervention would be called for if there was strong evidence that a state attorney general sued a company because its CEO opposed gun rights. Pettit said that it might, but that there was no strong evidence that Paxton was singling out Yelp for political reasons. Crisis pregnancy centers offer pregnant women counseling, but usually do not clearly advertise their anti-abortion stance. In August 2022, Yelp began posting a notice on crisis pregnancy centers' pages stating: "This is a Crisis Pregnancy Center. Crisis Pregnancy Centers typically provide limited medical services and may not have licensed medical professionals onsite." In February 2023, Paxton and other Republican state attorneys general told Yelp the notice was misleading because it was posted on pages of centers that did have licensed medical professionals. The company, without conceding that the language was misleading, changed the notices to state that crisis pregnancy centers "do not offer abortions or referrals to abortion providers." Paxton said at the time that the new language was accurate. The case is Yelp v. Paxton, 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 24-581.

Shielding Adani: On the U.S. indictment, the Indian government’s standThailand star Supachok Sarachat believes the team can cope with the pressure and expectations at the Asean Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2024. "I think this team have some really good players. Many are new to the national team and they will want to show what they are capable of," said vice-captain Supachok, who plays for the J-League club Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo. "Without some of the senior players for the Asean championship, this team may lack experience and the players may sometimes rush things but I believe they can do a good job at the Asean level. "Every team wants to beat us [Thailand] because we are the No.1 team in Asean. We must not underestimate anyone and maintain our level throughout the tournament," he added. "We won the title last time so the fans will hope to see us do it again. For me personally I don't feel the extra pressure. Expectations from the fans are normal and I believe the players can handle them. They have enough experience at this level and the team should be fine." Supachok also confirmed he's recovered from an injury and, despite not being fully fit, will be ready if he's called upon for the match against Malaysia on Saturday. "I'm trying to regain my fitness after coming back from an injury. I still need some time to get back to 100% but if I have a chance to play, I will do my best to help the team win against Malaysia," said Supachok. Thailand will play their second Group A match against Malaysia tomorrow at Rajamangala National Stadium. The match will kick off at 8pm and will be broadcast live on Thai Rath TV (32), AIS Play and BG Sports Channel on YouTube.

Viewers of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here" spotted significant gaffes in Friday's episode. Fans of the popular ITV show were quick to highlight a faux pas made by the editors. On various occasions, stars would show up in the Bush telegraph segments with another celebrity's name would pop up. Love Island star Maura Higgins appeared with Melvin Odoom's name instead, while McFly's Danny Jones was wrongly identified as Radio 1's Dean McCullough. The blunder didn't escape the notice of Twitter users. One viewer remarked: "The editing team tonight need to be fired. they've mixed up campmates names several times. #imacelebrity #ImACeleb", reports the Mirror . Another commented: "Issues with names tonight Danny was Dean and Maura was Melvin #ImACeleb #imaceleb2024," and one exclaimed: "What's happening with the names today??? Danny was in the telegraph apparently it was Dean and Maura was Melvin. @imacelebrity #ImACeleb #imaceleb2024". Sharing snaps of the mix-up, another said: "The names are cracking me up. Dean and Melvin look different! @imacelebrity @antanddec #ImACeleb". In the latest episode of the hit series, viewers were on edge that Dean McCullough might accidentally disclose a major secret from within the jungle's depths. Earlier this week, fans saw Love Island's Maura Higgins and The Communards' Reverend Richard Coles whisked away to the Jungle Junkyard, ostensibly stripped of comforts - no beds in sight. But unknown to the main camp, they were not roughing it; instead, they indulged in undercover luxury with the task of deceiving their fellow contestants. After successfully braving the recent Bushtucker Trial, Dean joined Maura and Richard in their clandestine quarters, setting social media ablaze with viewer apprehension. One anxious fan posted: "Dean will ruin the junkyard lie and ruin it for everyone, i fear. He couldn't keep the teabags a secret when Tulisa/Melvin had salt and no one knew until she gave it up #imaceleb." Another lamented online: "I'm sorry I really wanted to like Dean being a local celeb and all but the man is a disaster and a liability to the camp #ImACeleb." Echoing the sentiment, another added: "Dean is going to expose the whole secret mission I fear #imaceleb #imacelebrity." Further concern was voiced by another, who predicted: "How long then before Dean blabs to everyone when they are all in the trial area, and ruins the hard work Richard and Maura have put into this secret mission #ImACeleb."New Metrolinx CEO promises to ‘start talking’ in effort to finish Eglinton Crosstown LRT
Moldova continues to face a high-intensity hybrid war, including a significant increase in malign cyber activity and incursions. This necessitates increasing focus on the development of cyber resilience, which would also support the continued efforts of the Moldovan government to digitize more systems and the ongoing growth of the country's technology sector. Moldova’s data and cybersecurity policy efforts have not kept pace with the development and use of digital infrastructure, further complicating the challenge of counteracting the cyber aspects of the ongoing high-intensity hybrid war. Strategic and deliberate investments made in Moldova over the next five years thus have an enormous potential for return. Given the importance of the topic, this report provides an overview of Moldova’s recent digitization journey. This paper provides a deeper dive into the technology sector, including Moldova’s efforts to increase digital literacy and to strengthen human capital, as well as its e-governance efforts. Moreover, this piece outlines the country’s current cybersecurity landscape, including some specific risks and opportunities as well as the support Moldova’s partners and allies are delivering in this space. Most importantly, this piece includes key policy recommendations to strengthen the sector in support of securing Moldova’s democratic and economic future.

That are not drones, that is. The White House says the drones that have been sighted over New Jersey since November may all be planes. During Thursday's press briefing, White House national security communications adviser John Kirby said there is no evidence to suggest they pose a national security or public safety threat. Kirby also said they do not appear to have any foreign connections. The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are using "sophisticated sophisticated electronic detection technologies" to determine their origin, Kirby said. "We have not been able to, and neither have state or local law enforcement authorities, corroborate any of the reported visual sightings. To the contrary, upon review of available imagery, it appears that many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully," Kirby said. Response to Iranian theory "The United States Coast Guard is providing support to the state of New Jersey and has confirmed that there is no evidence of any foreign-based involvement from coastal vessels," Kirby said. That appears to be an indirect comment about the con tention of Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-NJ, 2ns District, about drones coming from an Iranian drone mothership. "There are no reported or confirmed drone sightings in any re stricted airspace," Kirby said. "We certainly take seriously the threat that can be posed by manned aircraft systems which is why law enforcement and other agencies continue to support New Jersey and investigate the reports even though they have uncovered no malicious activity or intent at this particular stage." ALSO READ: NJ county runs out of money, can't pay public safety workers Benchmark for action against drones? The Picatinny Arsenal in Morris County earlier this week confirmed 11 sightings over base property. The FAA has instituted a no-drone zone over the arsenal and President-elect Donald Trump's golf club in Bedminster where he stays while in New Jersey. Kirby also echoed the suggestion of several legislators to extend and expand counter-drone authorities so threats can be better mitigated. When asked if there is any benchmark for when the military might take an action Kirby reiterated that there is no threat to the public. "If the president as Commander-in-Chief believed based in the information he'd been given that there was a national security threat at play here, or even a public safety threat here, he would issue the appropriate directives to not only law enforcement but the military if needed," Kirby said. What do they really know about the drones? The bottom line from Kirby was that they still don't know what exactly people are seeing. A federal ban on the use of drones is not imminent. "I cannot characterize definitively what these sightings are. I can just go back to what I said at the opening. We've looked at the imagery, we can't corroborate some of the reported sightings through our own expert analysis using sophisticated detection techniques. But that doesn't mean we're putting our pen down this afternoon and calling it a day," Kirby said. Assemblyman Brian Bergen, R-Morris, called Kirby an "idiot" during an appearance on Fox News. He accused the Biden Administration of ignoring serious national concerns.

Media Contact: Tavia Acquisition Corp. info@tavia.coIt was the fourth time this season they had conceded four or more and the performance showed why they have the Premier League’s worst defence. When O’Neil and the players went over to acknowledge the visiting supporters there were boos for a run of two wins in 14 league matches. “Whatever the fans think of me, there is definitely no-none working harder than me and I will continue to do so until someone tells me not to,” said O’Neil, who is under increasing pressure with his side second bottom of the table. “I go over there to see them because I appreciate every one of the Wolves fans. They have given me unbelievable support since I arrived at the football club,” he said. “We managed to produce some unbelievable stuff last season with a team that was heavily tipped by most of the nation for relegation. We managed to enjoy it together. “Now it is tough. I was happy to go over there and look them right in the face and take any criticism they want to throw at me. “I accept responsibility for my part in that. Whatever criticism they want to throw at me will not change how I feel about them. “Everyone at this football club needs to do more. We will get back to be ready to fight again on Monday (another crucial game against West Ham, whose manager Julen Lopetegui’s tenure is hanging by a thread). “I will work with everything I have. I will back myself to get the most out of the group. I understand the drive for change (but) you never know how much of a percentage of supporters it is.” Veteran Ashley Young ended Everton’s 370-minute wait for a goal with a 10th-minute free-kick, his first league goal for more than two years, and on-loan Lyon midfielder Orel Mangala blasted home his first for the club to establish a 2-0 half-time lead. Two Craig Dawson own goals secured Everton’s biggest home league win since April 2019, but manager Sean Dyche insisted their issues up front were far from sorted. He said: “It’s our fifth clean sheet in the last eight so the consistency has been there in one degree, we just haven’t been scoring goals. That’s been the hardest thing to find consistently and we haven’t solved it yet. “Goals change everything, they change opinions. That’s what football is like.” The victory was hugely important in a month in which, having been hammered 4-0 at Manchester United, they face top-six sides Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Nottingham Forest and undoubtedly eased some of the pressure on Dyche and his players. “I’ve told them how proud I am of them,” he added. “The challenges come thick and fast on and off the pitch and they just keep going. “It’s only a step and there are many more to go but it’s a good step and a positive step. “It’s a temporary moment in time because the next one is a big one (Saturday’s Merseyside derby).”

Rangers captain James Tavernier echoed the sentiment of his manager in believing his side deserved more than just a point from what was a special Europa League encounter against Tottenham Hotspur at Ibrox. Tavernier provided the assist for Hamza Igamane's opener, which was his 16th direct goal involvement in the competition. Rangers held their own and could've won it through Cyriel Dessers after Dejan Kulusevski finished off a well-worked move from the visitors to equalise late on. The Light Blues are on 11 points from their opening six league phase matches and currently occupy eighth position. Should they hold onto that over the next two fixtures then Philippe Clement's men would earn automatic qualification to the Europa League last-16. "Yeah, well we've gone in there [the dressing room] disappointed that we've not come away with three points," he told TNT Sports. "We had the chances to probably finish off the game. Obviously Tottenham have got great quality, so the one moment when we probably left our positions, we got punished for it. "We will take a point and it puts us in a good position. "There's been small tweaks over the past couple of weeks in the way we are playing, a lot of lads are really in form and we are putting in the performances. "I said yesterday that it was important that we kept the consistency in our performances, and I felt like we did that tonight." Read more: Asked if he felt that Spurs were vulnerable, with Igamane scoring to put Rangers in front just minutes after the half-time break, Tavernier replied: "We obviously got shown clips of them and that was a weakness that we seen. "When they are attacking they put numbers up. So, it was important for us to get them on the transition and create chances, and I felt like we did that. "I love this competition playing against the best teams in Europe. That's what you want to do as a player and obviously I thrive on it. The team does, you see the fans, they obviously thrive off this competition. It's a great competition to play in." (Image: TNT Sports) Meanwhile, Tottenham goalscorer Kulusevski admitted that they didn't do enough to leave Glasgow with anything better than a draw and credited the Rangers support for their contribution to the Battle of Britain contest. "I think Rangers played very well, we struggled a bit," he said. "It ends 1-1, it is what it is. We didn't play well enough to win the game. "I think Rangers played a perfect game, it's a beautiful stadium, the fans helped them a lot. We missed a bit in the first half, the second half was a little bit better. "I wanted to change something, to make something happen and I succeeded once but it was not enough today. “It's always important to score but we've got to start winning games now. We haven't won in a couple of weeks, so it's time to win on Sunday. I think everybody needs to do a little more than we're doing now."

The ceremony commenced with a prayer song by the school choir group. Former principal Fr Johnson L Sequeira in his address remarked, “Annual day is a joyous occasion. It is a culmination of all the academic activities of a school. We are here with a sense of gratitude, happiness, and joy to celebrate the talent of all students. I am coming here after six months, it is wonderful to see, meet and greet everyone. Evolution is a process of change, not only physically, but change in thoughts, relationship and action. We evolve every day. Evolution is not a one day process it takes millions of years to gather, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication. If you are ready to walk an extra mile with others, ready to smile at your enemy, ready to share your everything to the needy then you're evolving, if not there is room for improvement.

Last month, Nikita Hand , who accused the sportsman of raping her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018, won her claim against him for damages in a case at the High Court in Dublin. Ms Hand sought damages for assault, rape against McGregor and his friend James Lawrence. A jury found she had been assaulted by Mr McGregor but not by Mr Lawrence. The jury awarded damages of €248,603 against Mr McGregor. In the days following the civil action verdict, major retailers across the UK and Ireland stopped selling alcoholic drinks associated with McGregor . Other endorsement deals, like ones with popular video games manufacturer, IO Interactive, were also quick to drop the MMA star after the defeat in court. ‘Let’s be clear Conor isn’t exactly the type to run from a fight. But this is the fight of his life,’ said a source close to the fighter. ‘The news cycle here is constant, whereas in somewhere like America it’s not really a big story and he can have space to retain and regroup,’ the person said. ‘But — and here’s the big but — it’s doomed if he stays and damned if he goes. So that’s the tough choice he has to make. For his own sake and his family.’ The commercial backlash against McGregor has already seen a number of businesses cut ties with him in the wake of the court case. The likes of Musgrave, Tesco and the BWG Group quickly cut ties with him after the result of the court case. In a statement, a spokesman for Musgrave said: ‘Musgrave can confirm these products are no longer available to our store network.’ The network includes SuperValu, Centra, Daybreak and Mace. It is understood that other retail outlets including Costcutter and Carry Out will also stop stocking products linked to Mr McGregor. And it’s not just in Ireland, the UK’s largest independent drinks retailer, LWC Drinks revealed that it ‘does not want to be associated’ with him. In a statement released to MailOnline , it said that it will be joining the growing industry-wide shunning of Conor McGregor-affiliated drinks, including Proper Twelve Irish Whiskey and Forged stout. Supplying over 15,000 UK businesses with their alcohol products, the announcement from LWC comes as the latest in a spate of recent blows to the Irish fighter’s commercial brand. The decision to cease its sale of, and association with, both Proper 12 Irish Whiskey and Forged Irish Stout comes after McGregor lost his civil rape case against Nikita Hand in Irish court last month. That the fallout has spread to other regions has come as a ‘massive blow’ to McGregor. ‘It’s relentless. And the backlash isn’t showing any sign of levelling out. If anything it’s gathering pace,’ explained the source. In a scathing statement shared with MailOnline, LWC drinks said that it does not want to be ‘associated’ with the former two-division UFC champion and his stout product. The statement in full read: ‘In light of Friday’s civil court ruling against Conor McGregor, LWC, the UK’s largest independent drinks wholesaler has taken the necessary legal steps to terminate its agreement to distribute Forged Irish Stout. ‘We are consulting with our customers to support them in the replacement of Forged draught taps. LWC does not want to be associated with Conor McGregor or Forged Irish Stout’. LWC decision to dump McGregor’s drinks brand came just days after UK food delivery severe Ocado and supermarket chains Tesco and Asda followed in Irish retailers’ decision to remove his brand and affiliated products from their shelves. Additionally, the Irish branch of prominent pub chain JD Wetherspoon announced last week that they too would be removing Conor McGregor’s affiliated alcoholic beverages from their pubs in Ireland.’ ’This isn’t a fight he can win at this press moment. So at this stage, it’s best to keep the head down, get his head together and that simply isn’t an option in Ireland where it’s the biggest news story in a very small town. So getting out of dodge is really the best option, all things considered.’ On Thursday (December 6) the High Court will hold a hearing on legal costs for the civil case taken by Ms Hand. The case had been due to be heard on Thursday, November 28 but Mr Justice Alexander Owens agreed to delay it by one week. The losing side pays their own legal costs and those of the successful party. The court has the discretion to depart from this general rule if persuaded that the justice of the case requires this and there are special circumstances.Trump taps a Fox News personality, a surgeon and a former Congressman to lead public health agencies
