Luke Williams feels Swansea ‘lost grip’ on game despite sealing victory at DerbyNone
What appeared to be a high-rise fire near 5th and Bixel streets in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday night caught the attention of a group of young people, who quickly began recording the disaster unfolding before them to share on social media. The video was livestreamed on Citizen, a public safety mobile app, which was then posted on the Citizen app’s social media account on X. The video shows smoke billowing from the top of the building and an orange glow. The video was posted under the headline “#Breaking News Fire in Downtown High-Rise. Flames and smoke are billowing from the top floors of the structure. Avoid the area.” “You can smell it,” a woman from the group can be heard saying. “You can smell, like, the paper burning inside... I smell burnt paper.” “This is crazy,” the young man recording says. But the fire was not a real disaster, the group soon learned. It was Hollywood make believe, a phony fire created for the filming of a movie. In fact the building at 1201 W. 5th St. belongs to the Los Angeles Center Studios, a 20-acre studio campus that includes event venues and six 18,000-square-foot sound stages among other amenities, according to its website . The fake fire was so believable that the Los Angeles Fire Department had to put out the word on social media, urging residents not to call them to report it. “We were letting them know it was a movie set and there was no danger,” said fire department spokesperson Margaret Stewart. On the social media site X, the department wrote : “We appreciate the concerned citizens calling but — the fire visible on the roof of 1201 W 5th by Bixel in [downtown L.A.] is not real - it is part of a movie/tv shoot. It is planned to be active until 3 a.m. Please share the word!” Stewart said it was easy to think it was a real fire because camera crews were at the top of the building and not visible. As the group of young people who videotaped the fabricated fire continued to watch the building that night they began to deduce that the fire was perhaps not real. The smoke was white, the fire was not spreading and they heard no crackling or popping sounds that fires make. Commentators watching the livestream typed responses on the Citizen app, noting that the fire was part of a movie set. “It’s not a real fire folks,” a viewer wrote which the young man recording read out loud. “It’s Hollywood magic.” The group who videotaped the scene, embarrassed, laugh at the situation, expressing relief that they are not identified in the video. “Whatever. They don’t see our faces,” one of the women says.

Taoiseach Simon Harris said he also wanted to tell Nikita Hand, a hair colourist from Drimnagh, that her case had prompted an increase in women coming forward to ask for support. Ms Hand, who accused the sportsman of raping her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018, won her claim against him for damages in a civil case at the High Court in the Irish capital on Friday. The total amount of damages awarded to Ms Hand by the jury was 248,603.60 euro (£206,714.31). Mr McGregor said in a post on social media on Friday that he intends to appeal against the decision. That post has since been deleted. Speaking to the media on Saturday, Mr Harris said he told Ms Hand of the support she has from people across Ireland. “I spoke with Nikita today and I wanted to thank her for her incredible bravery and her courage,” he said. “I wanted to make sure that she knew how much solidarity and support there was across this country for her bravery. “I also wanted to make sure she knew of what the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre had said yesterday – that so many other women have now come forward in relation to their own experiences of sexual abuse as a result of Nikita’s bravery.” The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre said the case has had a “profound effect” on the people the charity supports, and that over the first 10 days of the High Court case, calls to its national helpline increased by almost 20%. It said that first-time callers increased by 50% compared to the same period last year, and were largely from people who had experienced sexual violence who were distressed and anxious from the details of case and the views people had to it. Mr Harris said: “I wanted to speak with her and I wanted to wish her and her daughter, Freya, all the very best night, and I was very grateful to talk with Nikita today. “Her bravery, her courage, her voice has made a real difference in a country in which we must continue to work to get to zero tolerance when it comes to domestic, sexual and gender-based violence. “I don’t want to say too much more, because conscious there could be further legal processes, but I absolutely want to commend Nikita for her bravery, for her courage, for using her voice.” Justice Minister Helen McEntee praised Ms Hand’s bravery and said she had shown “there is light at the end of the tunnel”. She said: “I just want to commend Nikita for her bravery, for her determination and the leadership that she has shown in what has been – I’ve no doubt – a very, very difficult time for her and indeed, for her family. She added: “Because of wonderful people like Nikita, I hope that it shows that there is light at the end of the tunnel, that there are supports available to people, and that there is justice at the end of the day.” Ms Hand said in a statement outside court on Friday that she hoped her case would remind victims of assault to keep “pushing forward for justice”. Describing the past six years as “a nightmare”, she said: “I want to show (my daughter) Freya and every other girl and boy that you can stand up for yourself if something happens to you, no matter who the person is, and justice will be served.” During the case, Ms Hand said she was “disappointed and upset” when the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) decided not to prosecute the case after she made a complaint to the Irish police. In a letter to her in August 2020, the DPP said there was “insufficient evidence” and there was not a reasonable prospect of conviction. Ms Hand asked the DPP to review the decision, saying she felt she was being treated differently because one of the suspects was famous. Asked about the DPP’s decision not to prosecute, Mr Harris and Ms McEntee stressed the importance of the DPP’s independence on whether to prosecute. “There are obviously structures in place where the DPP can meet a victim and can outline to them their reasons for not taking the case,” Mr Harris said. “But there’s also always an opportunity for the DPP in any situation – and I speak broadly in relation to this – to review a decision, to consider any new information that may come to light, and I don’t want to say anything that may ever cut across the ongoing work of the DPP.” Ms McEntee stressed that there should “never be any political interference” in the independence of the DPP’s decisions. “I have, since becoming minister, given priority to and enabled a new office within the DPP to open specifically focused on sexual offences, so that this issue can be given the focus and the priority that it needs,” she said.None

Irish premier praises Dublin woman who won civil case against Conor McGregorI’M A Celeb fans rejoiced tonight when Coleen Rooney used her detective skills to sniff out a huge camp secret. The mum gained the nickname Wagatha Christie for her ingenious social media sting to uncover the source of leaked stories about her. She entered I'm A Celebrity last week, and is the highest-paid contestant in the show's history. Over the past three days I'm A Celeb late arrivals, Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles have been sleeping on the floor in the supposedly disgusting Jungle Junkyard. The Love Island star, 33, and priest, 62, met most of their co-stars for the first time in Friday's episode, including Coleen, Danny Jones, GK Barry, Dean McCullough, Tulisa Contostavlos, Alan Halsall, and Oti Mabuse. But Coleen, wife of football legend Wayne Rooney, soon picked up on the fact that something was off. READ MORE ON I'M A CELEB Maura and Richard, along with Dean - who had moved into Jungle Junkyard - were in fact lying about the conditions in their separate camp. After spending a few minutes in their company, Coleen returned with her campmates, some of whom haven't washed since landing in the jungle, and said: "To be honest they looked better than I'd seen them yesterday. Maura smelled nice. "They got this look, I just think they're not telling us the truth. "I don't know, they've just got this content look. There's something going on." Most read in I’m A Celebrity 2024 She added in the Bush Telegraph: “I came out of there not convinced that they were living in those conditions.” The moment sent viewers into meltdown, with one posting a video of footballer Thierry Henry celebrating a goal for Arsenal. They captioned it on X: "Coleen Rooney coming out of retirement to put her Wagatha Christie hat back on to rustle the luxury Junkyard camp mates." Another said: "It’s lucky for Jack the Ripper that Coleen wasn’t around back then!" A third raved: "Of course Coleen will be first to crack the case. Wagatha's back!" One more echoed: "Not Coleen going full on Wagatha Christie and sussing out their lie ahah!" Maura and Richard's camp, the original Snake Rock, has been transformed into the Jungle Junkyard. The pair have been given cosy beds, a fridge full of snacks, a sofa and a two-ring hob for cooking. It's also covered from the storm that has been battering the camp. Meanwhile, the main camp have been sleeping in the rain and on rations of rice and beans, after Dean failed to bring back many stars from his Bushtucker Trials. To read Rebekah Vardy's columns on this year's I'm A Celeb, click here. The Sun columnist Jane Moore asked Coleen about the infamous ‘It’s.... Rebekah Vardy’ Instagram post in camp this week. As Coleen opened up, internet personality GK Barry questioned if she'd been scared to make the post. She replied: “No, because I just didn’t think it would have the impact it did, because I was just that sick and tired of it, it was draining. “That was my worst nightmare to go to court . “I felt like it was like putting on a show for the whole world.” The social media post on October 9, 2019 explained how Coleen had turned detective to catch out a friend who was leaking stories. It saw her dubbed Wagatha Christie and led to the 2022 trial in the High Court . Coleen added: “What got me, over the whole thing, was it became a bit of a joke and that’s really disappointing, it wasn’t a joke for me. "No one knew the full story.” READ MORE SUN STORIES The judge ruled in favour of Rooney, dismissing Vardy’s claim and ordered her to pay 90 per cent of the legal costs - a bill the women are still wrangling over today. Sunday's I'm A Celebrity launch episode saw Wagatha Christie brought up almost instantly.

The incident occurred while Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube was delivering the 2025 national budget speech. Noting the seriousness of the situation, the Speaker of Parliament Jacob Mudenda said, “I request your Excellency, the President, to take leave.” The security immediately escorted the President out of the building using car lights from outside. They were also using phone torches. [WATCH] Zimbabwean President 's security panicked when parliament was plunged into darkness while Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube was presenting the budget. — SABC News (@SABCNews) While Mnangagwa was leaving, opposition MPs were shouting, “ZESA (Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority) yazviramba (ZESA has refused).” The power cut is, however, attributed to a lightning strike during a storm in the area. The ZESA spokesperson George Manyaya said: “Parliament is on a dedicated power line that is exempt from load shedding,” Manyaya explained. “The temporary power loss was caused by lightning, not load shedding, as is being claimed on social media. This was an act of nature.” The situation, however, highlighted the country’s ongoing energy crisis. Zimbabwe has been experiencing daily 18-hour blackouts due to a prolonged drought that has crippled energy generation at the Kariba Dam, the country’s main power source. Former opposition legislator Fadzayi Mahere has criticised the President’s swift exit, saying, “I love how their leader couldn’t even stand the dark for two minutes. May someone kindly advise him that debilitating load shedding is what Zimbabweans go through every day. ” ZESA has been struggling to meet the nation’s growing electricity demand amid worsening energy shortages. Zimbabwean businesses are facing a difficult operating environment due to electricity outages, as reduced power generation at the Kariba Dam, resulting from low water levels, and frequent breakdowns at the Hwange coal thermal power plant, have severely impacted economic productivity. Companies across various sectors, including major mining and manufacturing firms, as well as large-scale agricultural enterprises, are being forced to endure prolonged power outages lasting up to 18 hours daily. Neighboring Zambia, which also relies heavily on the Kariba Dam for its power generation, is experiencing a similar crisis. Despite forecasts indicating a promising 2024/2025 agricultural season, with normal to above-normal rainfall expected, the persistent power outages are likely to hinder productivity. The mining sector, which includes subsidiaries of prominent companies such as Impala Platinum, Anglo American Platinum, and Sibanye-Stillwater, has also been severely impacted, with significant losses in production time and revenue. “Power outages are a major constraint, with a recent survey conducted by the Chamber of Mines revealing that miners lost approximately US$500 million in potential revenue due to power outages in 2024,” stated Lloyd Mlotshwa, lead analyst at IH Securities, a few weeks ago.

Unless stopped, he argued the statute “will silence the voices of over 170 million Americans here in the US and around the world on January 19th, 2025.” Though the case is squarely in the court system, its also possible the two companies might be thrown some sort of a lifeline by President-elect Donald Trump, who tried to ban TikTok during his first term but said during the presidential campaign that he is now against such action . The law, signed by President Joe Biden in April, was the culmination of a years-long saga in Washington over the short-form video-sharing app, which the government sees as a national security threat due to its connections to China. The U.S. has said it’s concerned about TikTok collecting vast swaths of user data, including sensitive information on viewing habits , that could fall into the hands of the Chinese government through coercion. Officials have also warned the proprietary algorithm that fuels what users see on the app is vulnerable to manipulation by Chinese authorities, who can use it to shape content on the platform in a way that’s difficult to detect — a concern mirrored by the European Union on Friday as it scrutinizes the video-sharing app’s role in the Romanian elections. TikTok, which sued the government over the law in May, has long denied it could be used by Beijing to spy on or manipulate Americans. Its attorneys have accurately pointed out that the U.S. hasn’t provided evidence to show that the company handed over user data to the Chinese government, or manipulated content for Beijing’s benefit in the U.S. They have also argued the law is predicated on future risks, which the Department of Justice has emphasized pointing in part to unspecified action it claims the two companies have taken in the past due to demands from the Chinese government. Friday’s ruling came after the appeals court panel, composed of two Republican and one Democrat appointed judges, heard oral arguments in September. In the hearing, which lasted more than two hours, the panel appeared to grapple with how TikTok’s foreign ownership affects its rights under the Constitution and how far the government could go to curtail potential influence from abroad on a foreign-owned platform. On Friday, all three of them denied TikTok’s petition. In the court's ruling, Ginsburg, a Republican appointee, rejected TikTok's main legal arguments against the law, including that the statute was an unlawful bill of attainder or a taking of property in violation of the Fifth Amendment. He also said the law did not violate the First Amendment because the government is not looking to "suppress content or require a certain mix of content” on TikTok. “Content on the platform could in principle remain unchanged after divestiture, and people in the United States would remain free to read and share as much PRC propaganda (or any other content) as they desire on TikTok or any other platform of their choosing,” Ginsburg wrote, using the abbreviation for the People’s Republic of China. Judge Sri Srinivasan, the chief judge on the court, issued a concurring opinion. TikTok’s lawsuit was consolidated with a second legal challenge brought by several content creators - for which the company is covering legal costs - as well as a third one filed on behalf of conservative creators who work with a nonprofit called BASED Politics Inc. Other organizations, including the Knight First Amendment Institute, had also filed amicus briefs supporting TikTok. “This is a deeply misguided ruling that reads important First Amendment precedents too narrowly and gives the government sweeping power to restrict Americans’ access to information, ideas, and media from abroad,” said Jameel Jaffer, the executive director of the organization. “We hope that the appeals court’s ruling won’t be the last word.” Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, lawmakers who had pushed for the legislation celebrated the court's ruling. "I am optimistic that President Trump will facilitate an American takeover of TikTok to allow its continued use in the United States and I look forward to welcoming the app in America under new ownership,” said Republican Rep. John Moolenaar of Michigan, chairman of the House Select Committee on China. Democratic Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, who co-authored the law, said “it's time for ByteDance to accept” the law. To assuage concerns about the company’s owners, TikTok says it has invested more than $2 billion to bolster protections around U.S. user data. The company has also argued the government’s broader concerns could have been resolved in a draft agreement it provided the Biden administration more than two years ago during talks between the two sides. It has blamed the government for walking away from further negotiations on the agreement, which the Justice Department argues is insufficient. Attorneys for the two companies have claimed it’s impossible to divest the platform commercially and technologically. They also say any sale of TikTok without the coveted algorithm - the platform’s secret sauce that Chinese authorities would likely block under any divesture plan - would turn the U.S. version of TikTok into an island disconnected from other global content. Still, some investors, including Trump’s former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and billionaire Frank McCourt, have expressed interest in purchasing the platform. Both men said earlier this year that they were launching a consortium to purchase TikTok’s U.S. business. This week, a spokesperson for McCourt’s Project Liberty initiative, which aims to protect online privacy, said unnamed participants in their bid have made informal commitments of more than $20 billion in capital.Major poll puts Ireland’s lead parties near neck-and-neck
