Mumbai: The BMC plans to appoint Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI) to conduct a thorough technical audit for the construction of the twin tunnel and box tunnel under the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road (GMLR) project. This third party audit will assess the design, construction, and safety standards of the tunnels, ensuring that the project meets the highest technical and environmental benchmarks. The 4.7-km-long underground twin tunnels, set to be constructed in the third phase of the ambitious GMLR project, will pass beneath the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP). This vital infrastructure initiative is designed to ease traffic congestion across the city's existing east-west corridors. The twin tunnels will each extend 4.7 km, while the box tunnel will span 1.6 km. These tunnels are designed with a diameter approximately 13 meters and will be dug to depths ranging from 20 to 160 meters. "The construction of the twin tunnels faced challenges when two tribal hamlets, Habale Pada and Nagar Mudi Pada, located within Film City, raised objections," said a senior civic official. "So we decided to realign the tunnels by 600 meters to bypass the tribal farmlands. Additionally, a survey was conducted recently to assess the number of trees that will be affected, as many are situated along the original alignment of the tunnels. We have also consulted VJTI for a third-party technical audit to ensure the project meets the highest safety and environmental standards," he added. The realignment of the twin tunnels in the GMLR project, necessary to bypass tribal farmlands in Film City, will increase the original project cost by Rs 250 crore, bringing the total to Rs 6,551 crore. Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the project on July 13, with excavation set to begin using a TBM. Civic officials assure that construction will not harm the environment of the SGNP, including its flora, wildlife, Aarey, and Tulsi lakes. The, GMLR project, expected to cost Rs 14,000 crore, will be completed by 2028, cutting travel time between Mulund and Goregaon from 75 to 25 minutes and easing congestion on key city routes. The 12.2 km road will seamlessly connect the Western Express Highway at Goregaon the Western Express Highway at Goregaon to the Eastern Express Highway at Mulund, improving connectivity. The GMLR project is expected to play a crucial role in reducing traffic bottlenecks on key routes like the Santacruz-Chembur Link Road, Andheri-Ghatkopar Link Road, and Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road, offering a smoother, faster commute for residents and commuters.US President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue. The request came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court, in which the company argued the court should strike down a law that could ban the platform by January 19 while the government emphasised its position that the statute is needed to eliminate a national security risk. “President Trump takes no position on the underlying merits of this dispute. Instead, he respectfully requests that the court consider staying the Act’s deadline for divestment of January 19 2025, while it considers the merits of this case,” said Mr Trump’s amicus brief, which supported neither party in the case. The filings come ahead of oral arguments scheduled for January 10 on whether the law, which requires TikTok to divest from its China-based parent company or face a ban, unlawfully restricts speech in violation of the First Amendment. Earlier this month, a panel of three federal judges on the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit unanimously upheld the statute, leading TikTok to appeal to the Supreme Court. The brief from Mr Trump said he opposes banning TikTok at this junction and “seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office”.

The car manufacturer has made headlines in recent weeks following its “ Copy nothing ” advertisement relaunch as it looks to enter the electric vehicle market. While the advert has been widely ridiculed, Jaguar’s stock price did not hit an all-time low in the aftermath. In fact, the Jaguar brand does not have a stock price. The claim appears to have originated from an article published by The People’s Voice, a site AAP FactCheck has debunked numerous times. A Facebook post shows a photograph of the article, with its headline: “Jaguar Stock Price Plummets to All-Time Low Following Woke Rebrand.” The article provided no evidence to support the claim in the headline. The Jaguar advertisement , released on November 18, highlighted the brand’s shift towards electric with the clip designed to express abstract and avant-garde themes. It features strikingly dressed models but does not show any cars. Critics have branded it the latest in “woke” marketing, with many likening it to an April 2023 advert for Bud Light in which a transgender influencer promoted the product. The claims in the article and posts are nevertheless false. Stephen Taylor , an expert in financial econometrics at Lancaster University in the UK, explained that Jaguar does not have its shares. Instead, the brand is owned by the Indian conglomerate Tata Motors . Professor Taylor said Tata’s share price is influenced by various factors, with the company owning several brands beyond Jaguar, including Land Rover. Peter Swan , a banking and finance expert at UNSW, said Jaguar makes up a tiny part of Tata’s total sales, adding: “Good or bad news about the brand has very little impact on the Tata price.” Professor Swan said Tata’s share price following the announcement was far from its all-time low. “From the 18th to 19th, Tata Motors price actually rose slightly (781.75 to 799.90 [Indian rupees]) and has remained at that level until today [November 26],” he told AAP FactCheck . “Tata has been much lower in the past (November 28, 2023) at 677.45 and much higher (August 12, 2024) at 1079.90.” Tata’s most recent (December 3) share price was 801.25.

The Grammy winner released his sixth studio album “GNX” on Friday.

In a memo sent to team officials, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, the NBA revealed that the FBI has connected some burglaries to “transnational South American Theft Groups” that are “reportedly well-organized, sophisticated rings that incorporate advanced techniques and technologies, including pre-surveillance, drones, and signal jamming devices.” Ancient meets modern as a new subway in Greece showcases archaeological treasures THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) — Thessaloniki, Greece’s second-largest city, is opening a new subway system, blending ancient archaeological treasures with modern transit technology like driverless trains and platform screen doors.

(AP) — Top football recruit Bryce Underwood has flipped to Michigan after pledging to play at LSU.

Underwood pinned a post on his Instagram account, showing a post in which On3.com reported that he has committed to Michigan. The 6-foot-3 quarterback played at Belleville High School about 15 miles east of Michigan's campus, and told LSU nearly a year ago he intended to enroll there. Emperor penguin released at sea 20 days after waddling onto Australian beach MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — The only emperor penguin known to have swum from Antarctica to Australia has been released at sea 20 days after he waddled ashore on a popular tourist beach. The adult male was found on Nov. 1 on sand dunes in temperate southwest Australia about 2,200 miles north of the Antarctic coast. He was released Wednesday from a boat that traveled several hours from Western Australia state's most southerly city of Albany. His caregiver Carol Biddulph wasn't sure at first if the penguin would live. She said a mirror was important to his rehabilitation because they provide a sense of company. Biddulph said: “They’re social birds and he stands next to the mirror most of the time.”

This release was published on openPR.The King has been hailed as a “visionary” who “wants action” at a reception to celebrate an initiative working to create a nature-first economy. The Circular Bioeconomy Alliance’s Chief Executive Marc Palahi said: “We’ve been creating an economy developed at the expense of nature and climate and now we have reached a tipping point. We need to move towards an economy that prospers in harmony with nature, which has been the vision of His Majesty . For decades he has pioneered thinking on that.” Citing Charles’s longstanding support of organic farming and calls to end plastic pollution , he added: “He was a visionary and now it’s part of his legacy. People realise he was right and now we need to accelerate action. He always says seeing is believing. He wants action.” Explaining that the CBA is working to turn the vision of a “nature-first” economy into reality across different industries, he added: “The paradox is that we have never had so much knowledge and technology to be able to change, but we are not changing. So there’s a mindset problem.” Founded by the King in 2020, the CBA has grown from four founding organisations – Lombard Odier, LVMH, AstraZeneca and the Eranda Rothschild Foundation, to around 60 from all over the world , including fashion houses, banks, pharmaceutical companies and organisations defending indigenous rights. Marc added: “The idea of the CBA is to act as a bridge between science and indigenous knowledge, between technology and traditions.” There was a touching moment between the King and Mere Takoko of the Pacific Whale Fund, a new ambassador for the CBA from Gisborne, New Zealand. She and the monarch shared a Hongi, the traditional Maori greeting, as protests calling for the protection of indigenous rights in New Zealand took place across the world. She later said of the King’s gesture: “It’s hugely symbolic. It’s vitally important. "I came here in the spirit of reconciliation, friendship, and unity. From the Māori king's perspective, they enjoyed a very strong friendship and this legacy must be maintained. We are two peoples but bound together through the treaty of Waitangi, which his ancestors signed, and my ancestors signed." Mere, who wore a traditional Kakahu cloak and pendant made of Greenstone, said she wanted to "continue to celebrate that relationship at a time which is quite divisive". The Pacific Whale Fund is working to protect the oceans and in particular, the Great Whale, which sequesters 33 tonnes of carbon dioxide during its lifetime – the equivalent of 1000 trees. Mere said the organization was establishing “indigenous led, nature based solutions” and that she hoped to "unite the United-Kingdom and the Pacific” on protecting the marine mammal. There were also words of thanks to the King from Uyunkar Domingo Peas, head of the Amazon Sacred Headwaters Alliance. Based in Northern Peru, it brings together 30 indigenous nations to protect the rainforest and train the next generation of chiefs. “Your Majesty, on behalf of the 30 nations of our Sacred Headwaters Alliance, we want to thank you so much,” he said. “We are the stewards of this living laboratory that we have created with the CBA in the headwaters. With the support of CBA we have reforested 162,000 trees in 41 villages and we’ve also trained 73 future chiefs in the Living Amazon school.” The King had earlier met trustees and founders of the CBA in the Throne Room of St James’s Palace before joining the main reception. There were kisses for Lynn Forester de Rothschild, who was there to mark the launch of the CBA Sir Evelyn de Rothschild Fellowship for Reimagining Nature Finance and Inclusive Capitalism. And there was laughter as the King recognized an old acquaintance, the German climatologist John Schellnhuber, 74, director of the International Institute of Applied System Analysts. “You still exist!” joked the monarch as they shook hands. Told the scientist planned to write to him, he replied: “I shall await your letter with eagerness.” Touring the “living lab” stalls in the Entrée Room, each displaying the CBA’s work in different fields, the King stopped to admire a pashmina produced by the Italian fashion label Bruno Cucinelli using fine wool from Ladakh in the Indian Himalayas which has been produced through regenerative farming. “It’s amazing, isn’t it?” he said, touching the fabric. He was also shown cotton grown sustainably in Puglia, southern Italy, to produce t-shirts made by Armani – one of which has been sent to the monarch as a gift, along with one of the pashminas. Federico Marchetti, chair of the Fashion Task Force of the King’s Sustainable Markets Initiative, said: “What’s important is that just 18 months from the idea generation, we have a final product.” Established by The King in 2020 when he was Prince of Wales, the Circular Bioeconomy Alliance is working to accelerate the transition to a nature-first, circular bioeconomy that is climate neutral, inclusive and powers prosperity. Today’s reception for up to 100 guests included figures from the worlds of business, finance, Nature and followed earlier discussions and panel talks.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau returned home Saturday after his meeting with Donald Trump without assurances the president-elect will back away from threatened tariffs on all products from the major American trading partner. Trump called the talks “productive” but signaled no retreat from a pledge that Canada says unfairly lumps it in with Mexico over the flow of drugs and migrants into the United States. After the leaders’ hastily arranged dinner Friday night at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, Trudeau spoke of “an excellent conversation." Trump said in a Truth Social post later Saturday that they discussed “many important topics that will require both Countries to work together to address.” For issues in need of such cooperation, Trump cited fentanyl and the “Drug Crisis that has decimated so many lives as a result of Illegal Immigration," fair trade deals "that do not jeopardize American Workers” and the U.S. trade deficit with its ally to the north. Trump asserted that the prime minister had made “a commitment to work with us to end this terrible devastation” of American families from fentanyl from China reaching the United States through its neighbors. The U.S., he said, “will no longer sit idly by as our Citizens become victims to the scourge of this Drug Epidemic.” The Republican president-elect has threatened to impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico as one of his first executive orders when he takes office in January. U.S. customs agents seized 43 pounds of fentanyl at the Canadian border last fiscal year, compared with 21,100 pounds at the Mexican border. On immigration, the U.S. Border Patrol made 56,530 arrests at the Mexican border in October alone and 23,721 arrests at the Canadian border between October 2023 and September 2024 — and Canadian officials say they are ready to make new investments in border security. Trudeau called Trump after the Republican's social media posts about the tariffs last Monday and they agreed to meet, according to a official familiar with the matter who was not authorized to publicly discuss detail of the private talks. The official said other countries are calling Canadian officials to hear how about how the meeting was arranged and to ask for advice. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, after speaking with Trump on the telephone, said Thursday she was confident a tariff war with Washington would be averted. At the dinner that was said to last three hours, Trump said he and Trudeau also discussed energy, trade and the Arctic. A second official cited defense, Ukraine, NATO, China, the Mideast, pipelines and the Group of Seven meeting in Canada next year as other issues that arose. Trudeau's office said in a statement that the leaders “shared a productive wide-ranging discussion” centering on “collaboration and strengthening our relationship,” adding, "As Canada’s closest friend and ally, the United States is our key partner, and we are committed to working together in the interests of Canadians and Americans.” Trump, during his first term as president, once called Trudeau “weak” and “dishonest,” but it was the prime minister who was the first G7 leader to visit Trump since the Nov. 5 election. "Tariffs are a crucial issue for Canada and a bold move was in order. Perhaps it was a risk, but a risk worth taking,” Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal. Trudeau had said before leaving from Friday that Trump was elected because he promised to bring down the cost of groceries but now was talking about adding 25% to the cost of all kinds of products, including potatoes from Prince Edward Island in Atlantic Canada. “It is important to understand that Donald Trump, when he makes statements like that, he plans on carrying them out. There’s no question about it,” Trudeau said. “Our responsibility is to point out that he would not just be harming Canadians, who work so well with the United States, but he would actually be raising prices for Americans citizens as well and hurting American industry and business,” he added. The threatened tariffs could essentially blow up the North American trade pact that Trump’s team negotiated during his first term. Trudeau noted they were able to successfully renegotiate the deal, which he calls a “win win” for both countries. When Trump imposed higher tariffs as president, other countries responded with retaliatory tariffs of their own. Canada, for instance, announced billions of new duties in 2018 against the U.S. in a response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminum. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US $2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day. About 60% of U.S. crude oil imports are from Canada, and 85% of U.S. electricity imports are from Canada. Canada is also the largest foreign supplier of steel, aluminum and uranium to the U.S. and has 34 critical minerals and metals that the Pentagon is eager for and investing in for national security. Canada is one of the most trade-dependent countries in the world, and 77% of Canada’s exports go to the U.S. ___ Gillies reported from Toronto.Students were recognised for their achievements in the East Otago High School 2024 prizegiving.
