8 yuan Newport News City Council on Tuesday is expected to vote on an ordinance that would prohibit people from possessing, carrying or transporting firearms in buildings owned or used by the city government. The city currently prohibits the open carrying of firearms in city buildings and facilities. Still, it does not prohibit a concealed carry permit holder from bringing a concealed weapon. City code states that “No person shall openly possess, carry or transport any firearm, ammunition for a firearm, or any components or combination ...” and goes onto list various prohibited locations. The proposed ordinance amendment removes “openly” from the text so that it reads, “No person shall possess, carry or transport any firearm ...” In addition to government-owned buildings, the new rules would apply to any recreation or community center facility operated by the city government or by any authority or local governmental entity created or controlled by the city. In buildings not owned by the city, or by any authority or local governmental entity created or controlled by the city, the new rules would only apply to the part of the building that is being used for a governmental purpose and when such building is being used for a governmental purpose. The council meeting is at 7 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, at 2400 Washington Ave. The prohibition won’t apply to authorized law enforcement officers, authorized military personnel in the performance of their lawful duties, security guards employed by the city or any authority or local government entity created or controlled by the city in the performance of their lawful duties. It would also not apply to exceptions mandated by state law. The proposed ordinance would allow lawfully possessed firearms and ammunition that are stored out of sight in a locked private motor vehicle lawfully parked on city property or on a public street. Virginia adopted a numerous pieces of gun safety legislation in 2020, when Democrats controlled the House, Senate and executive branch. One of those bills gave localities the ability to ban firearms in government buildings, public community centers, and parks, as well as at permitted events. City spokesperson Kim Bracy wrote in an email response to questions about the proposal that Newport News is “committed to ensuring a safe environment for both the public and our employees.” She said the city is dedicated to its practice of assessing safety vulnerabilities and addressing them within the framework of the law. “The security landscape has evolved, particularly in the government sector, and we are responding proactively,” she said. The Virginia Citizens Defense League, a pro-gun rights organization, issued a news release opposing the proposed ordinance, critiquing it as an infringement on gun owners’ right to carry a firearm for self defense. The organization did, however, praise one change made in the proposed ordinance, which crossed out public parks from a list of places prohibiting firearms. The proposed ordinance allows security personnel and law enforcement to deny entry to people violating the new gun rules and direct the violators to leave. Those who fail to leave after being directed may face trespassing charges.

The Chicago Bulls, mired in a three-game losing skid, welcome the visiting Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday for the second matchup between the Central Division counterparts in six days. Milwaukee returns to Chicago for the second time this week, having routed the Bulls 112-91 on Monday despite missing All-Stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. Brook Lopez and Khris Middleton picked up the slack, each posting 21 points with NBA scoring leader Antetokounmpo sidelined with an illness. Milwaukee was again without Antetokounmpo and Lillard -- the latter having missed the last four games with a calf injury and also dealing with an illness -- in Thursday's 111-105 loss to Brooklyn. "Ain't no excuses," Bobby Portis said to reporters following Thursday's game. "We lost, they won, we move on Saturday. Get a win, feel good, go into Indiana (and) the new year. That's it." The Bucks have two more games remaining in this calendar year -- on Saturday at Chicago and Tuesday at Indiana. Through the 2024 portion of their schedule, the Bucks have ridden highs and lows, with a seven-game winning streak from Nov. 18 through Dec. 3, not long after they lost six straight during a 2-8 start. Antetokounmpo's 32.7 points per game leads the league, and Lillard is averaging 25.7 points and 7.5 assists a contest. However, Milwaukee nears 2025 just three games above .500 and ranked in the middle-to-lower half of the NBA in a variety of team categories. Among them is scoring, with the Bucks averaging 112.5 points per game -- the 16th-highest output in the league, and down 6.5 points from their 2023-24 average. Milwaukee's scoring defense has improved from a season ago, however, down from a 116.4-point per game yield in 2023-24 to 111.2 in 2024-25. The Bucks delivered one of their best defensive performances of the season in Monday's win at Chicago, limiting the Bulls to 91 points on 36-of-90 shooting (40 percent) from the floor, including 10-of-48 (20.8 percent) from 3-point range, and forcing 15 turnovers. Despite its output on Monday, Chicago is averaging 117.7 points per game -- sixth-most in the NBA -- behind leading scorers Zach LaVine (22.3 ppg), Nikola Vucevic (20.7) and Coby White (17.7). The Bulls' struggles have come on the defensive end as they sit five games below .500 amid their current losing streak. After surrendering 141 points in an eight-point loss at Atlanta on Thursday, Chicago is surrendering the league's second-highest opponent output at 121.8 points per game. Chicago heads into Saturday's matchup coming off an especially frustrating fourth quarter of defense, when they gave up 50 points in the period to squander a 17-point lead. "We're going to have to look at that and figure out what we need to do to weather the storm," said LaVine, who scored a season-high 37 points in the loss. "That just can't happen. It's unacceptable." Some potential good news for the Bulls after the loss is that versatile swingman Josh Giddey, averaging 11.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and a team-high 6.9 assists per game, could be available after missing the last four games with an ankle injury. "A lot is going to depend on how he responds (after a workout Thursday) and then probably get another one in (on Friday)," Bulls coach Billy Donovan told reporters of Giddey's progress toward a return. --Field Level Media

The fight for the future of the Liberal Party of Canada has begun. It is no longer a question of whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should resign — for most of caucus, that question is settled. It may even be settled for the prime minister. He is in British Columbia, possibly taking the 2024 version of a walk in the snow, a run down the ski hill. What is now up for debate is who should pick the next Liberal leader and what that means for the party. On Monday, the Star has learned, the Liberals’ Atlantic caucus met over Zoom and came to the same conclusion as their Ontario counterparts did last Saturday: Trudeau needs to go. They tasked their caucus chair, Nova Scotia MP Kody Blois, to report the message to the Prime Minister’s Office and ask for a national caucus meeting in early January for MPs to decide whether an interim leader should be appointed. Cabinet ministers who were on the call did not dissuade their colleagues. In fact, according to three sources who spoke on condition of anonymity, Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc focused on what should happen after Trudeau’s resignation. LeBlanc argued the party didn’t have time for a lengthy leadership race and left the impression that caucus should pick the next leader. (LeBlanc did not respond to a request for comment.) It’s a self-interested argument, of course. LeBlanc, affable and experienced, would be a strong contender for leader — if not the most likely — from caucus’s standpoint. He wouldn’t be the first to make the argument. After Chrystia Freeland’s surprise resignation as finance minister , prime minister Jean Chrétien’s former chief of staff, Eddie Goldenberg, called for Trudeau to resign effective Jan. 6 and for Freeland to be selected by the caucus and cabinet as the next permanent leader. Goldenberg, in an essay on Nationalnewswatch.com , argued the party didn’t have three or four months to hold a contest and it should suspend a normal leadership convention. For Canadians who lived through the last time the Grits anointed their leader, it may seem a strange argument to make. Could the Liberal Party of Canada’s 2011 near-death experience have been avoided if the party hadn’t chosen to crown Michael Ignatieff leader in 2009 and instead allowed a one-member-one-vote contest? Road testing leaders doesn’t necessarily mean a better candidate or a better election performance. Stéphane Dion was elected by the party in 2006, beating out Ignatieff, and his lacklustre performance during the leadership campaign was pretty much duplicated during the 2008 election. But a leadership contest does allow for a preview of what’s to come. What’s more, it injects energy, allows for new entrants, for new ideas, for new data points to be collected be it money, or emails and phone numbers of potential Liberal voters. In a Friday morning email to caucus colleagues, obtained by the Star, Calgary MP George Chahal expressed frustration at the current state of affairs and argued against a caucus vote. “Any rational individual in a position of leadership would resign,” and “any group of individuals providing advice based on data and logic would reach the same conclusion,” Chahal wrote, lamenting the past six months that had been spent trying to make the case as respectfully as possible. “Unfortunately, a small cabal have (sic) decided to pursue a reckless strategy of mutual assured political destruction. It is clear the Liberal Party of Canada is not their priority,” he wrote. Trudeau no longer had the support of caucus, Chahal expressed, and “to maintain some dignity” the prime minister should immediately tender his resignation. Caucus, he wrote, should elect an interim leader who could head the government for the next 60 to 75 days, and he called for the party — through its governing board — to start the immediate process for an expedited leadership process that is transparent and democratic. “I and other members (of) caucus do not support a secret conclave where caucus chooses the new leader,” Chahal wrote. Some MPs fear that Trudeau will hang on as long as possible so that LeBlanc’s argument — that there isn’t enough time for a leadership race — comes to fruition. That could leave Trudeau in place — the Conservatives seem intent on ensuring that happens — or ensure a caucus insider is appointed. The Prime Minister’s Office seems resistant to the idea of appointing an interim leader, further fuelling those concerns. This week, Trudeau’s former principal secretary Gerald Butts weighed in, arguing that Goldenberg’s argument would “confirm Canadians’ worst instincts about the Liberal party. “ ‘There’s no time for democracy’ is a tell of an argument,” Butts wrote on Substack . “It’s also bad strategy. If you want to know who can play hockey, put on a hockey game. It doesn’t matter who you think you support at this moment, we’ll all have a more seasoned view if we see these people in live action. “Competitions create better competitors. In politics, leadership campaigns make for better general election campaign teams. They train people, test ideas, build resilience,” he wrote. There is self-interest there, too. Butts is close with former Bank of Canada governor and likely Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney. But he’s not wrong. Battle lines are being drawn, camps are organizing and attempting to sway the party executive and caucus to enact rules that benefit their interest. What’s clear is that the longer Trudeau takes to make his decision, the more Canadians will know he’s less interested in building the Liberal movement he spoke of in 2013 when he was elected party leader, and more interested in returning to “the old ways of doing politics” he used to denounce.Donald Trump said Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has asked to visit him at the president-elect’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida. Part way through a Truth Social post on Friday morning, Trump referred to his Mar-a-Lago home, saying “Bill Gates asked to come, tonight. We miss you and x! New Year’s Eve is going to be AMAZING!!! DJT.” Trump provided no further details. Emails and calls to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation asking about a potential Gates visit to Mar-a-Lago were not immediately answered. Gates has been critical of Trump in the past, particularly over his first administration’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but Gates publicly congratulated Trump on his November 5 election victory and expressed hope they could work together. Some of the biggest tech sector companies in the US have pledged donations to Trump’s inaugural fund as they seek more favourable relations with the Republican president-elect before he takes office on January 20. In November, Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Meta has donated $US1 million ($A1.6 million) to Trump’s inaugural fund, a company spokesperson told Reuters on December 12. Other tech companies that are donating $US1 million ($A1.6 million) to Trump’s inaugural fund include Amazon and Uber Technologies .

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Three African politicians seeking to head the African Union detailed their plans on Friday for regional security amid conflicts and political coups while strongly advocating for inter-Africa trade among other issues. Raila Odinga of Kenya, Mahamoud Ali Youssouf of Djibouti and Richard Randriamandrato of Madagascar are seeking to be elected as chairperson for the 55-member state African Union. They participated in a two-hour debate Friday in Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa in which they all advocated for two permanent seats for African countries in the U.N. Security Council to effectively represent the continent with the youngest population. Odinga said that two permanent seats with veto power were “a must for Africa” and that this was “only fair” since the continent has more than 50 countries. Randriamandrato urged member states to cease the opportunity and “speak with one voice on the choice of who will represent Africa in the UNSC.” The three are seeking to convince most African countries before the February election to succeed African Union Chairperson Moussa Faki, who has served for two terms. The African Union has faced several challenges that include conflict in member countries and political coups that have seen five member states expelled from the union, making regional security a major theme in Friday’s debate. Youssouf said that regional security could be enhanced if the resources for a regional standby force were increased to reduce the overreliance on foreign partnerships for resources. “When there is no unity of purpose among neighboring countries peace will be compromised,” Youseff said. Randriamandrato encouraged countries to take charge of their internal security while cautioning that foreign military bases should be “a thing of the past” because they “could be a source of conflict.” Despite the continent’s young population of 1.3 billion that is set to double by 2050, regional trade has faced challenges that were addressed in the Friday debate. Odinga said that Africa had a “huge domestic market” that it could leverage on for economic transformation by opening up opportunities for trade between African countries. Youssouf proposed a payment compensation system that would ensure countries don't lose out while trading in different currencies adding, “are we going to have a single currency, why not?” Randriamandrato said that regional economic blocs like the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa had a huge role to play in easing inter-Africa trade. The African Union has several proposed reforms on its structure and leadership aimed at achieving its purpose, and all candidates promised to implement the reforms if elected. Youssouf said that key reforms in the union were facing a funding bottleneck and that “it has to change,” adding that he wouldn't impose it on member states but would “advocate for it.”ST.

JOHN’S, N.L. – Former Newfoundland and Labrador premiers say a draft energy agreement signed Thursday with Quebec marks a historic break in a long-standing political standoff. Brian Tobin, who was premier from 1996 to 2000, describes the sweeping new energy contract as a long-awaited “breaking of political gridlock” between Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec. Tobin says he has no doubt that ending the 1969 deal that gave Quebec nearly free electricity from Labrador was a top priority for every premier since Joey Smallwood, the man who signed the contract. Roger Grimes ran the province between 2001 to 2003, and he says all of the province’s premiers wished they had found a willing partner in Quebec to reshape the agreement. Pointing to the province’s unsuccessful attempts to challenge the deal in court, he says Quebec Premier François Legault had no obligation to throw out the contract but saw a good opportunity and showed political will.

Believe it or not, Cowboys might have hope yet after chaotic win at WashingtonTHIRUVANANTHAPURAM: People are tired of queuing in front of the vendors' office as the e-stamping process is not fast enough. Stamp papers, except those of 50 rupees and those for larger amounts, are not available. The information including the name and address of the parties involved in the title deed registration and the purpose of registration should be uploaded by the vendors to 'PEARL', the portal of the Registration Department. After that, the further steps including payment should be completed using the OTP number sent to the mobile phone of the title deed party. Delay in receiving the OTP number due to slow server speed is the major bottleneck. The e-stamp for registration purposes can be printed in colour and for non-registration purposes in black and white. Hundreds of people come in front of the vendors for both types of needs. Not all vendors have embraced the e-stamping system. Printed Stamp papers above 10 rupees are still allowed to be used, but Stamp papers are not available everywhere. Stamp papers are required for many purposes on a daily basis like for rent agreement, giving bond to students to join various courses, buying a vehicle etc. People can get an e-stamp for any amount but the time it takes to get it is bothering them. TRAI regulation New regulations introduced by TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) for services are also causing delay in receiving OTP. TRAI introduced restrictions on SMS messages sent by government and private organizations under digital ledger technology from December 1. The requirement is that TRAI's approval is required for the format in which the SMS is sent. The template for this should be registered.

Syracuse and Georgetown meet for the 100th time Saturday when the Orange host the Hoyas in the latest installment of their classic rivalry. As former Big East Conference rivals, Syracuse and Georgetown have staged many memorable contests over the decades with the Orange holding a 54-45 all-time advantage. The teams still meet annually despite the Orange now playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Syracuse has won five of the last seven meetings, including a 12-point triumph in Washington D.C. last December. "It definitely felt like a Big East game," Hoyas coach Ed Cooley said after last season's contest. This time around, Georgetown (7-2) is coming off a 73-60 loss to West Virginia in which the team shot under 38 percent from the floor and committed 14 turnovers. "When the ball has music, when the ball is singing, unbelievable music happens," Cooley said. "The music is the play. The music is body movement and screening an open shot. We didn't have good music today." Thomas Sorber is the team's leading scorer at 15.4 points per game, although the freshman has failed to reach that average in six of the last seven games. Syracuse (5-4), meanwhile, is coming off a 102-85 win over Albany despite the absence of leading scorer J.J. Starling (19.8 points), who is out indefinitely with a hand injury. In his stead, freshman Donnie Freeman supplied 24 points on 10-of-13 shooting despite playing just 23 minutes due to an illness. "Whatever (illness) he has, he needs to keep that, if he can keep playing like, whatever he was feeling," Orange coach Adrian Autry joked. Syracuse will be looking for more success from 3-point range after hitting 6-of-15 (40 percent) against Albany. In their previous game -- a five-point loss to Notre Dame -- the Orange failed to make a 3-pointer for the first time in more than a decade. No Syracuse player has made more than 11 3-pointers this season -- and even that player (Chris Bell) is only shooting 25 percent from long distance. --Field Level MediaAmazon is basically the internet’s secret stash of clever stuff, and we’ve rounded up 60 of the coolest finds you didn’t even know existed.

First downs and second guesses: It feels like the last time I went to a bowl game, Bob Devaney and Bear Bryant were flipping a coin to see who would go to the Orange and Sugar Bowls. All signs point to the Nebraska-Iowa winner on Friday heading to the ReliaQuest Bowl in Tampa, Fla. That’s the bowl speculation. Man, I’ve missed it. The ReliaQuest is the former Outback Bowl, which has never had Nebraska. I always heard that the Outback Bowl served steaks in the press box. These guys will make sure your laptop doesn’t get hacked. It’s a good matchup, with the Big Ten going against the SEC. Which is why Music City would be my preference for a spot if NU doesn’t win on Friday. Some of the potential SEC teams I’ve seen in Nashville are LSU, Oklahoma, Missouri, Ole Miss and Texas A&M. The Huskers against any of them would be a dream matchup. Of course, the last bowl game Nebraska played in was the Music City Bowl, losing to Tennessee in 2016. My memory of that week was hitting the music honky-tonks on Broadway Street and realizing that none of them had TV’s. You were there to listen to music. What a concept. I’ll be happy with any bowl. First-time-in-a-long time bowlers can’t be choosers. Nebraska’s name pops up in several different bowl projections. There’s the Pinstripe Bowl (USA Today) vs. Pitt and vs. Georgia Tech (ESPN), the Duke’s Bowl in Charlotte vs. Syracuse (Action Network) and vs. Georgia Tech (ESPN), Nebraska vs. Texas Tech in the Rate (Phoenix) Bowl and in the Music City Bowl vs. LSU (247Sports). The Huskers will be happy to play in any of them. A good thing about the Duke’s is a Jan. 3 date. But that might be an awkward fit with coach Matt Rhule heading back to the city and stadium where he was fired two years ago. That storyline would dominate the week. Whatever happens, perfect. It’s just nice to be speculating again. I have to admit, the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl looks intriguing. Is there a trophy? One day, someone very smart will come up with an NIL Bowl, which will pay the players involved. That’s sort of what Creighton is doing this week, participating in the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas. The tourney will put $1 million into the CU Bird Club collective. Meanwhile, Coach Greg McDermott will earn his money this week and beyond, until point guard Steven Ashworth recovers fully from an ankle injury suffered against Nebraska. Wonder if Mac will have a committee approach to running the offense, including Pop Isaacs and freshman Ty Davis. Fred Hoiberg said on Monday that he has used “tough coaching” with his team twice in the last week — the day after the loss to St. Mary’s and again on Sunday to make sure his Huskers have come down from their win over Creighton. When a coach gets on his team like that, he knows they can handle it. That’s interesting because a good portion of this year’s NU team is new. Hoiberg is obviously going after an older, tougher-mindset kind of player in the portal. It works. Wow, how cool will it be to have Lindsay Krause, Kendra Wait and Ally Batenhorst all on the Omaha Supernovas this season? And Merritt Beason, the No. 1 overall pick to Atlanta in the Pro Volleyball Federation Draft, and Norah Sis, the overall No. 3 pick to Orlando, coming back to Omaha to play. I wonder how John Cook and Kirsten Bernthal Booth feel about having a pro draft in the middle of the season, with the NCAA tournament next week? I’m guessing the players will be focused. But what if the NFL Draft was now? And the NBA Draft was in February? All the talk this season about Nebraska Class A football being in trouble, and yet I couldn’t wait for the Westside-Millard South game on Monday night. It seems to me that there have always been two or three teams better than everyone else. When I arrived here in 1991, it was Omaha Creighton Prep and Lincoln Southeast. Then it was Prep and Millard North. And Millard West. And Omaha North. Westside. Gretna. The difference is the disparity between the top and the middle of Class A is now widening. You see more blowout games. You didn’t used to see those. The transfer issue is a factor, sure. So is OPS shutting down in 2020. And some new schools in districts where the population (and talent) in the district split into different schools. Based on conversations with several coaches, I would add specialization to the list. A lot of football programs have lost kids to playing other sports, like baseball and basketball, full-time. I still love the Friday Night lights, the marching bands, the student sections, all that. And, marquee matchups at state. There’s still a lot of good things going on. Should there be a Nebraska-Creighton basketball traveling trophy? I can’t think of one. But the teams should wear blue and red every year. Get local news delivered to your inbox!
