Several Chinese investors and would-be tourists who were to visit and invest in Sri Lanka were not too happy when they were cold shouldered by the previous Government, said Chinese Ambassador to Sri Lanka, Qi Zhenhong during a meeting with a group of journalists at the Embassy on Thursday. He said a case in point was the discussions for a Free Trade Agreement where they had seven rounds of talks but it never got off the ground. Some vested parties deliberately put fear into the people regarding the FTA by saying that China was a big country and hence Sri Lanka would not have any advantage regarding an FTA with China. “This is wrong. If you take for example a country such as Laos (where the Gross Domestic Product is: 15,843 M US$ vs Sri Lanka where the GDP is US$ 84,357) this country has benefited a great deal from trade relations with China. Today, if one looks at the Rubber-Rice Pact between China and Sri Lanka signed way back in the 1950’s, there was no negative feedback with regard to the Pact where Sri Lanka was concerned. “We are sincere in helping Sri Lanka and all the development assistance too was given with this in mind while there were many donations as well such as the Kandy hospital in Polonnaruwa, supplying the sinopharm vaccine during the Covid-19 pandemic and many more,” he said. The Envoy said many referred to the Lotus Tower as being a white elephant but today under a private company it is making profits. “It should be also stressed that the Sri Lanka Government did not spend a penny to build the Colombo Port City,” he said. He also recalled that a Chinese company had invested to set up a power plant in the North, however, at mid- stage the then Government cancelled it sending out negative sentiments to Chinese investors. The Envoy said during the same time, when a Chinese Scientific vessel wanted to carry out research in Sri Lankan waters, it was not allowed and this incident was given publicity in Chinese social media as well as mainstream media, thus Chinese travellers were not too happy with the negative feedback. The irony is that the Maldives granted permission for the ship to carry out research in its waters. “This is one reason for Chinese arrivals to drop from the top three to the fifth place. However, he said that though the numbers may be small, Chinese tourists on average spent more than travellers from other countries during their stay here,” he added. Zhenhong said they had observed the political change especially in the North following the two successive elections. “We hope to work closely with the new Government and President Anura Kumar Dissanayake is expected to visit China next year.” As the largest developing country and the second largest economy, China has been actively promoting the implementation of the Global Development Initiative (GDI) and the Belt and Road initiative. “By doing so, China is able to create new opportunities for the world and benefit the global community through its high-quality growth; China has been actively promoting the implementation of the Global Civilization Initiative (GCI) by calling for all countries to promote the common values of humanity featuring peace, development, equity, justice, democracy and freedom,” he added. “China and Sri Lanka are both Global South countries. We have broad consensus on many major international and regional issues and have effectively safeguarded the common interest of the two countries through productive cooperation. China has always firmly supported Sri Lanka in upholding its Independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity and stood up for Sri Lanka on issues such as human rights,” he further added. “The Sri Lankan Government and people also have been firmly supporting China on issues concerning China’s core interest and major concerns such as issues related to Xizang and Taiwan,” he said. China-Sri Lanka multilateral cooperation has become a model of unity and self-reliance among Global South countries. This year, the new Sri Lankan Government has applied to join BRICS and the New Development Bank. “Though facing difficulties and challenges, such moves show the new Government’s commitment to an independent and non-aligned Foreign Policy while withstanding external pressure. It also goes to show the Government’s willingness to work with all Global South countries to enhance their influence and appeal on the international stage”, the Envoy further said and added “China warmly welcomes Sri Lanka and other like-minded partners from the Global South to be part of the BRICS family for common development.”Strictly Come Dancing fans rumble next exit after 'death slot' performance
Tampa's Shop Small Campaign Celebrates 5th Anniversary with Support for Local Businesses on National Small Business SaturdayThis decision made by Minister of Home Affairs Leon Schreiber, will allow time for consultation with affected ZEP holders and stakeholders on the future of the current dispensation. The extension comes after a court ruling that declared the Minister’s decision to terminate the ZEP as procedurally unfair and unconstitutional. The ruling, made by the Pretoria High Court, affected approximately 178,000 Zimbabwean nationals who hold the permit. “I, Dr L. A. Schreiber, MP, Minister of Home Affairs, with the powers bestowed upon me in terms of section 31(2)(b) of the Immigration Act, (“Immigration Act”) have decided to extend the validity of the Zimbabwean Exemption Permits (‘ZEP’) until 28 November 2025 in order for me to fulfill the duty placed on me by the Gauteng High Court to consult the affected ZEP holders and all other stakeholders on the future of the current dispensation,” the Minister stated in a statement. “The reactivation of the Immigration Advisory Board (‘IAB’) is currently underway and its first task will be to consider, advise and enable the steps required for compliance with the Order of the High Court on the future of the ZEP.” He added: “In order to give the IAB time to properly do its work, and a fair process to be followed, I direct that: ....existing ZEPs shall be deemed to remain valid for the next (12) twelve months; no holder of a ZEP may be arrested, ordered to depart or be detained for purposes of deportation or deported in terms of section 34 of the Immigration Act for any reason related to him or her not having any valid exemption certificate; “....the holder of an exemption certificate may be allowed to enter into or depart from the Republic of South Africa in terms of section 9 of the Immigration Act, read together with the Immigration Regulations, 2014, provided that he or she complies with all other requirements for entry into and departure from the Republic, save for the reason of not having a valid visa endorsed in his or her passport.” The Minister further announced that no ZEP holder should be required to produce a valid exemption certificate, visa or an authorisation letter to remain in South Africa as contemplated in section 32(1) of the Immigration Act when making an application for any category of the visa for temporary sojourn in the Republic as contemplated in section 10(2) of the Immigration Act. ZEP holders are individuals who hold a special permit, allowing them to live and work in South Africa. The permit was introduced in 2009 to provide a safe haven for Zimbabweans fleeing economic and political instability in their home country. The extension of the ZEP validation provides temporary relief for holders who were facing uncertainty and potential deportation. The long-term fate of the ZEP, however, remains uncertain, with the South African government yet to announce the ultimate fate of the exemption permit.

Michigan, Ohio State fight broken up with police pepper spray after Wolverines stun Buckeyes 13-10 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A fight broke out at midfield after Michigan stunned No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 as Wolverines players attempted to plant their flag and were met by Buckeyes who confronted them. Police had to use pepper spray to break up the players, who threw punches and shoves in the melee that overshadowed the rivalry game on Saturday. Ohio State police said in a statement “multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray.” Ohio State police will investigate the fight. Ohio State coach Ryan Day said he understood the actions of his players. Michigan coach Sherrone Moore said everybody needs to do better. Sellers' 20-yard TD run with 1:08 to go lifts No. 16 South Carolina to 17-14 win over No. 12 Clemson CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — LaNorris Sellers' 20-yard TD run with 1:08 to play lifted No. 16 South Carolina to a 17-14 victory over No. 12 Clemson. The Gamecocks won their sixth straight game, including four over ranked opponents, and may have played themselves into the College Football Playoff's 12-team field. They wouldn't have done it without Sellers, who spun away from a defender in the backfield, broke through the line and cut left on his way to the winning score. Sellers rushed for 166 yards and threw for 164 in South Carolina's second straight win at Clemson. Mikaela Shiffrin suffers abrasion on hip during crash on final run of World Cup giant slalom KILLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — American skier Mikaela Shiffrin says she suffered an abrasion on her left hip when crashing during her second run of a World Cup giant slalom race. Shiffrin was going for her 100th World Cup win when she crashed, did a flip and slid into the protective fencing. The 29-year-old was taken off the hill on a sled and waved to the cheering crowd before going to a clinic for evaluation. She said later in a video posted on social media that there wasn't “too much cause for concern at this point.” She plans to skip the slalom race Sunday, writing on Instagram she will be “cheering from the sideline.” Andrew Luck returns to Stanford as the GM of the football program STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Andrew Luck is returning to Stanford in hopes of turning around a struggling football program that he once helped become a national power. Athletic director Bernard Muir announced that Luck has been hired as the general manager of the Stanford football team and tasked with overseeing all aspects of the program that just finished its fourth straight 3-9 season.

Late in the game, Kalel Mullings broke away for a 27-yard run, setting up the Wolverines at Ohio State’s 17-yard line with two minutes remaining. The drive stalled at the 3, and Zvada came on for the chip shot. Ohio State got the ball back but couldn’t move it, with Will Howard throwing incomplete on fourth down to seal the Wolverines’ fourth straight win over their bitter rival.

Jared Porter acknowledges he sent inappropriate text message to reporter, leading Mets to fire him Jared Porter acknowledged he sent an inappropriate text message to a reporter while he was a Chicago Cubs executive in 2016, which led to the New York Mets firing him as general manager in 2021 after just 38 days. Porter made his first public comments on his firing during an episode of the “Baseball Isn’t Boring” podcast released Friday.

Norris defies orders and gives Piastri the Qatar sprint while Verstappen takes pole LUSAIL, Qatar (AP) — Lando Norris ignored team orders as he handed his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri the win the sprint race at the Qatar Grand Prix in a one-two finish for the team. Norris started on pole position and kept the lead at the start as Piastri squeezed past the Mercedes of George Russell for second. Norris gave the lead to Piastri with the finish line in sight, paying back Piastri for gifting him a win in a sprint race in Brazil when Norris was still fighting Max Verstappen for the drivers’ title. Champion Max Verstappen secured pole position for Sunday’s Grand Prix. Face facts: Statues of stars like Kane and Ronaldo don't always deliver. Sculptors offer advice LONDON (AP) — One art critic compared the new Harry Kane bronze statue to a bulging-jawed comic strip character. The infamous Cristiano Ronaldo bust in 2017 gave the chiseled soccer star a chubby face and goofy smile. Sculptors are offering tips to avoid pitfalls. London-based Hywel Pratley says sculptors must first get the subject's profile correct “and then you can go forward with more confidence.” Probably best to avoid smiles, Pratley adds because it's “really difficult to do teeth looking good in sculpture." London-based sculptural conservator Lucy Branch suggests an open vote because the public tends "to know whether the artist has hit the nail on the head.”

NoneFormer federal prosecutor Elie Honig told CNN's Michael Smerconish on Saturday that President-elect Donald Trump 's four indictments could have unfolded differently, outlining a hypothetical, alternative timeline that "absolutely" would have led to at least one federal trial and verdict before the 2024 election. In a conversation with Smerconish on Saturday morning, Honig analyzed the timeline of appointments and legal proceedings pertaining to Trump, starting with the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot, followed by Merrick Garland 's confirmation as U.S. attorney general, the appointment of Department of Justice (DOJ) special counsel Jack Smith , the subsequent federal indictments, up until the November 2024 presidential election. He notes that there's a "key gap" between Garland taking office and appointing Smith, saying it "takes almost two years—20 months—until November 2022, when Merrick Garland names Jack Smith as special counsel." Garland was sworn in as U.S. attorney general in March 2021. In a hypothetical exercise, Honig, a senior CNN legal analyst, said, "What if Merrick Garland had appointed Jack Smith right away, let's say April of 2021?" He continued, that even when accounting for extra time, Smith "would have gotten those cases indicted in early- to mid-2022. We would have absolutely had a trial—even if you account for the immunity decision—in mid to late 2023, maybe early 2024, and to me, it would have been impossible for Donald Trump to run out the clock. We absolutely would have had trials and verdicts well in advance of the 2024 election." In a 6-3 ruling on July 1 , the U.S. Supreme Court said that presidents have broad immunity for official acts. The Court added that presidents have absolute immunity for core political acts and some immunity for other acts committed as president, but no immunity for strictly private conduct. It also ruled that official acts cannot be used as evidence if taking a case against a president for unofficial acts. Honig later said on Saturday that "if Merrick Garland was serious about digging into this, he could have done it from day one." Newsweek filled out an online contact form with the DOJ seeking comment from Garland's office on the matter. Earlier this month, Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris , the Democratic nominee, in the presidential election, winning both the popular vote and the Electoral College. He is set to take his second term in office on January 20, 2025. Since the conclusion of his first term in office, Trump has been faced with four indictments: a federal classified documents case in Florida, which was dismissed by Judge Aileen Cannon this summer on grounds that Smith was not properly appointed, a federal indictment related to alleged 2020 election interference, a state indictment in Georgia also tied to alleged 2020 election interference, and a criminal hush-money case of falsifying business records in New York. Trump has maintained his innocence in all the cases and said they are a political witch hunt. Only the criminal hush money case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has gone to trial. In May, Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records related to hush money paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels shortly before the 2016 presidential election to keep an alleged affair the two had in 2006 a secret, was initially set to be sentenced on July 11. However, presiding Judge Juan Merchan has postponed his sentencing indefinitely following his election win. "By the weakest of the four cases going first, and being the only one to go to trial, that really undermined the entire process here, the entire effort to bring Donald Trump to accountability," Honig said Saturday. Last week, Honig, who previously disclosed he is a friend and former colleague of Bragg's, said the Manhattan district attorney "poisoned the well" for other Trump trials. The federal cases are set to wind down before Trump takes office as Smith has filed motions to drop the charges and is reportedly planning on stepping down. Trump has publicly vowed to fire Smith within "two seconds" of being sworn in, and according to The Washington Post, he plans to fire Smith's entire team. Regarding Trump's federal election subversion case, overseen by Judge Tanya Chutkan , in which he is accused of conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction and attempted obstruction of an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights related to an alleged pressure campaign on state officials to overturn the 2020 election results, Honig said Trump "would have had a brutal jury pool" in Washington, D.C. He said that out of the 94 federal districts, "the number one where Donald Trump is least popular, number 94 of 94, is the federal district for Washington, D.C." Honig added that since Chutkan "ruled against Donald Trump on virtually every issue" and the "indictment looks fairly strong and straightforward," the case could have been particularly challenging for Trump. "In this hypothetical alternative timeline, for sure Jack Smith would have indicted his cases before Alvin Bragg came down with his, for sure Jack Smith would have been the first one to get to trial," he said, adding that this case had gone first, it's not known whether Bragg or Georgia's Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis would have "piled their cases on." Willis is still prosecuting the Georgia case. Earlier this month, the Georgia Court of Appeals canceled the December 5 hearing for Trump's appeal "until further order of this court." The Georgia case is likely to be dismissed following Smith's motion to dismiss the federal cases, in which he wrote: "The Constitution's prohibition on federal indictment and prosecution of a sitting President apply to this situation and that as a result this prosecution must be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated."Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 - Official Story Trailer Watch the latest Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 trailer to learn more about the story of Henry of Skalitz, and dive into the medieval world of this upcoming RPG sequel.

Another quarter, another Apple ( AAPL 0.59% ) sale from Warren Buffett. The legendary investor sold a massive chunk of Apple stock yet again in the third quarter, estimated to be worth more than $20 billion, or 100 million shares. Berkshire Hathaway -- the company Buffett controls -- still owns $70 billion of Apple stock, but it is now a much smaller position than at the start of the year. Why is Buffett selling? This article will get into the likely culprit a little later. More importantly, what is Buffett buying today? Not much, but Berkshire Hathaway did take a stab and acquired 3.5% of Domino's Pizza ( DPZ 1.68% ) last quarter. Here's why the company may look attractive to Buffett and his investment team at the moment. Why Berkshire Hathaway keeps trimming Apple The Apple investment has generated over $100 billion in capital gains for Berkshire Hathaway. Throughout 2024, Buffett has begun to realize a lot of these gains, raising Berkshire Hathaway's cash position to more than $300 billion. He is likely shying away from Apple as such a large position in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio for a simple reason: valuation . It has nothing to do with market timing, or Buffett making a bet that the stock market is going to crash anytime soon. The stock just looks overvalued at these prices. And it is hard to disagree with this sentiment. At current prices, Apple is trading at a price-to-earnings ratio ( P/E ) of 37. While not an egregious earnings ratio for a high-growth stock, Apple isn't a fast grower anymore. In fact, it is barely growing at all, and at a significantly slower pace than inflation. In the last three years, Apple's revenue is only up 3% on a cumulative basis. Buffett is likely concerned about the stock underperforming due to this tepid growth combined with a high earnings ratio. It is not like Apple is now a bad business; just one where the stock is priced to perfection. It is hard to compound your capital owning something like this. Domino's Pizza: The next restaurant franchising giant? On the other side of the spectrum, Berkshire Hathaway initiated a new position in Domino's Pizza last quarter, now owning a sizable chunk of the business. This is not nearly as large of a position as Apple, but it is curious that Berkshire Hathaway is buying the stock now. Buffett famously likes the capital-light franchising model for restaurants, and has been an ardent fan of McDonald's business success (along with its food) for a long time. Domino's Pizza runs a similar franchising model for its pizza shops. Like McDonald's a few decades ago, Domino's is now planning a major global expansion for its franchise. It is planning to open 800 to 850 new stores this year. Store count at the end of last quarter was 21,000. If it adds around 1,000 stores a year, the company will reach the same store level count as McDonald's today (over 40,000) in around 20 years. This lines up with management's long-term guidance of 7% sales growth and 8% operating income growth from 2026 to 2028. Berkshire Hathaway is likely attracted to Domino's because of this long-term growth potential. As he likes to say, growth and value are tied at the hip. If a company is set to grow its earnings at a durable rate for a long while, you can pay more for its current earnings and still make money. This is unlike Apple, which trades at a high P/E, but with low growth. DPZ Dividend Per Share (TTM) data by YCharts Should you buy Domino's stock? Even with a better growth profile than Apple -- or really, the average stock in the market -- Domino's trades at a P/E ratio of 26, which is below the S&P 500 ( ^GSPC 0.35% ) average of 30. It may be simplifying things, but this contradiction should make Domino's Pizza stock a buy at current prices. Don't forget that the company's robust capital returns program too. Domino's has grown its dividend per share by 474% in the last 10 years, while bringing its shares outstanding down by 38% due to a consistent share repurchase program. There's no reason to think both trends won't continue for the foreseeable future, either. Add these into the mix, and Domino's Pizza looks like a foolproof stock to buy and hold for the long term. No wonder Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway are buying.10 years of Labor: More to build, less to make, and we’re poorer than before
Mikaela Shiffrin suffers abrasion on hip during crash on final run of World Cup giant slalomBrock Purdy participated in the start of Thursday's practice with the 49ers but the San Francisco starting quarterback was not on the field for the majority of the workout, casting doubt over his availability to play Sunday at Green Bay. Purdy is dealing with a right shoulder injury and the 49ers are also potentially without left tackle Trent Williams and Nick Bosa due to injuries. Bosa was listed as out of Thursday's practice with an oblique injury. Williams also didn't suit up Thursday. He played through an ankle injury last week after being listed as questionable. Purdy's typical Thursday post-practice media session was scrapped until Friday as the 49ers did not make any quarterback available. Kyle Allen would step in for Purdy as the starter if he can't play against the Packers. Run game coordinator Chris Foerster said the 49ers aren't where they want to be at 5-5 because they haven't won close games, not because of injuries. "Seven games left is like an eternity," Foerster said. "So much can happen. Do the math. What was our record last year? It was 12-5. I was on a 13-win team that was nowhere near as good as the team last year." With or without Purdy, Foerster said the challenge for the 49ers is not to give up the ball to a defense that has 19 takeaways. The 49ers have 13 giveaways this season.
