The start of Day 4 of the IND vs AUS Boxing Day Test 2024 in Melbourne witnessed a bit of drama as Pat Cummins attempted to use DRS on a decision made by the third umpire. On the last ball of the 119th over of India's first innings, Mohammed Siraj jabbed at a ball outside the off-stump and it went straight to Steve Smith who was stationed in the slip cordon. Smith took the catch and Australia thought they had the wicket. But the third umpire didn't take much time to rule that the ball had bounced after touching the bat, although it seemed pretty close. Cummins, unhappy with the decision, immediately signalled that he wanted to use a DRS on the same but that wasn't possible.

Smith announced the plan two years ago amid a national shortage of children's pain medication. The province spent $70 million upfront to import five million bottles from Turkey-based Atabay Pharmaceuticals. But Alberta Health Services said Friday that Health Canada only approved 1.5 million bottles or $21 million worth of product. That left a credit of $49 million. Smith said this week the holdup is with Health Canada, which would have to approve a new suite of imports for the province to get its money's worth. “We’re waiting for Health Canada to work with AHS to identify the products, get the formulations, approve it, so that we're able to execute on it. Those things take time," Smith said in a year-end interview. The premier said the province had to pay the $70 million upfront. "They delivered a portion, and then the supply chains were restored, and we didn't need to fulfil it with the two products we'd initially ordered. So we have a credit on file with Atabay,” said Smith. The government and AHS declined to say what specific products they're seeking or when they might arrive. “We want it to be delivered soon," said Smith. Health Canada was unable to provide an immediate response. AHS said the $70-million prepayment went to Edmonton-based medical supplier MHCare. AHS did not address questions about how common it is to pay the entire contracting fee upfront with no apparent backstops to ensure fulfilment. The costs of shipping, waste disposal and other administration tied to the deal were initially estimated to be an extra $10 million, but are yet to be finalized. NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi said Smith's United Conservative government signed a deal that didn't follow normal procurement practices, and it backfired. "The federal government had already signed a deal to get real Tylenol onto the shelves that arrived before the Turkish Tylenol," he told The Canadian Press. "Albertans should be really angry, because we basically have given $80 million of taxpayers money that could have built schools." Smith's government has stood by the decision to import the medication because, in late 2022, parents were desperate to find relief for their children at the height of the respiratory virus season. The purchase has long been mired in difficulties. It was immediately beset by delays, as the province sought regulatory approvals and sorted out packaging and warning labels. Pharmacists had to keep some of the medicine behind the counter to make sure customers who bought it were aware of the comparatively lower dosage. Hospital neonatal units eventually stopped using it due to safety concerns. The purchase also sparked questions about whether the province's relaxed ethics rules meant elected officials could be bought for the right price. Multiple UCP cabinet ministers have said they accepted free tickets to Edmonton Oilers hockey games during the Stanley Cup playoffs. They said they followed conflict-of-interest rules and denied any claims of disreputable behaviour. Health Minister Adriana LaGrange has said AHS has identified what imported adult medications it could use, is in negotiations with Atabay and is working to get approval from Health Canada. “Once those processes have been gone through, I will be happy to share exactly what those medications are,” she said Thursday. "My goal has always been to get products that we can use, get maximum value out of what's remaining on the books there, and that's what's happening."

BEIRUT (AP) — Syria’s embassy in Lebanon suspended consular services Saturday, a day after two relatives of deposed Syrian President Bashar Assad were arrested at the Beirut airport with allegedly forged passports. Also on Saturday, Lebanese authorities handed over dozens of Syrians — including former officers in the Syrian army under Assad — to the new Syrian authorities after they were caught illegally entering Lebanon, a war monitor and Lebanese officials said. The embassy announced on its Facebook page that consular work was suspended “until further notice” at the order of the Syrian foreign ministry. The announcement did not give a reason for the suspension. Two Lebanese security officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, said the suspension was ordered because the passports belonging to Assad’s relatives — the wife and daughter of one of his cousins — were believed to have been forged at the embassy. Assad’s uncle, Rifaat Assad — who has been indicted in Switzerland on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity — had flown out the day before on his real passport and was not stopped, the officials said. The U.K.-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported Saturday that 70 Syrians, including former army officers, were handed over by a Lebanese security delegation to the security forces of the new Syrian government, led by the former insurgent group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, or HTS. Three Lebanese judicial officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the report. Regional countries have been quick to establish ties with Syria’s new rulers. Delegations of Libyan and Bahraini officials arrived in Damascus on Saturday on official visits. HTS leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, formerly known as Abu Mohammed al-Golani, has largely succeeded in calming fears within and outside of Syria that his group would unleash collective punishment against communities that supported Assad’s rule or attempt to impose strict Islamic law on the country’s religious minorities. However, in recent days, sporadic clashes have broken out between the HTS-led security forces and pro-Assad armed groups. The country’s new security forces have launched a series of raids targeting officials affiliated with Assad and have set up checkpoints in areas with significant populations of the Alawite religious minority to which the former president belongs to search for weapons. There have also been ongoing tensions and clashes in northeastern Syria between Kurdish-led forces and armed groups backed by Turkey. Many Kurds have viewed the new order in Damascus, which appears to have strengthened Turkey’s hand in Syria, with anxiety. Ankara sees the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces — a key U.S. ally in the fight against the Islamic State group — as an affiliate of its sworn enemy, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, which it classifies as a terrorist organization. The U.S. State Department said Saturday that Secretary of State Antony Blinken had spoken with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan to “discuss the latest developments in Syria.” “Secretary Blinken emphasized the need to support a Syrian-led and Syrian-owned political process that upholds human rights and prioritizes an inclusive and representative government,” the statement said, adding that they “also discussed the shared goal of preventing terrorism from endangering the security” of Turkey and Syria. On Saturday, hundreds of protesters convened by Kurdish women’s groups participated in a demonstration in the northeastern city of Hasaka to demand women’s rights in the new Syria. Perishan Ramadan, a participant from Hasaka, said the new government “is worse than Bashar” and that its leaders are Islamist extremists who “don’t accept any role for women.” While the country’s new leaders have not attempted to impose Islamic dress or other conventions, it remains to be seen what role women will have in the new order and whether they will hold political or government positions. “Women must be present in the new constitution for Syria,” said Rihan Loqo, spokeswoman for the Kongra Star women’s organization. ”... Women’s rights should not be ignored.” ___ Associated Press writers Hogir Abdo in Hasaka, Syria, and Ellen Knickmeyer in Washington contributed to this report.TransPerfect Legal Named Top eDiscovery Provider by Australasian Lawyer for Third Consecutive Year
Next Quarter’s Crypto Must-Haves: 5 Picks You Can’t Ignore, Including a Hot Solana Token
US President-elect Donald Trump has filed a brief urging the Supreme Court to pause a law that would ban TikTok the day before his January 20 inauguration if it is not sold by its Chinese owner ByteDance. “In light of the novelty and difficulty of this case, the court should consider staying the statutory deadline to grant more breathing space to address these issues,” Trump’s legal team wrote, to give him “the opportunity to pursue a political resolution”. Trump was fiercely opposed to TikTok during his 2017-21 first term, and tried in vain to ban the video app on national security grounds. The Republican voiced concerns – echoed by political rivals – that the Chinese government might tap into US TikTok users’ data or manipulate what they see on the platform. US officials had also voiced alarm over the popularity of the video-sharing app with young people, alleging that its parent company is subservient to Beijing and that the app is used to spread propaganda, claims denied by the company and the Chinese government. Trump called for a US company to buy TikTok, with the government sharing in the sale price, and his successor Joe Biden went one stage further – signing a law to ban the app for the same reasons. Trump has now, however, reversed course. At a press conference last week, Trump said he has “a warm spot” for TikTok and that his administration would take a look at the app and the potential ban. Earlier this month, the president-elect met TikTok chief executive Shou Zi Chew at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. Recently, Trump told Bloomberg he had changed his mind about the app: “Now (that) I’m thinking about it, I’m for TikTok, because you need competition.” “If you don’t have TikTok, you have Facebook and Instagram – and that’s, you know, that’s Zuckerberg,” he added. Facebook, founded by Mark Zuckerberg and part of his Meta tech empire, was among the social media networks that banned Trump after attacks by his supporters on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. The ban was driven by concerns that he would use the platform to promote more violence. Those bans on major social media platforms were later lifted. In the brief filed on Friday, Trump’s lawyer made it clear the president-elect did not take a position on the legal merits of the current case. “President Trump takes no position on the underlying merits of this dispute,” John Sauer wrote in the amicus curiae – or “friend of the court” – brief. “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, thus permitting President Trump’s incoming Administration the opportunity to pursue a political resolution of the questions at issue in the case.” A coalition of free speech groups – including the American Civil Liberties Union – also filed a separate brief to the Supreme Court opposing enforcement of the law, citing censorship concerns. “Such a ban is unprecedented in our country and, if it goes into effect, will cause a far-reaching disruption in Americans’ ability to engage with the content and audiences of their choice online,” the rights groups’ filing read, in part. The US apex court agreed last week to hear TikTok’s appeal against Biden’s move to force its owner to divest from it or face a ban. With oral arguments scheduled for January 10, the case would have to be heard at a breakneck speed. TikTok argues that the law, the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, violates its First Amendment free speech rights. AFP, among more than a dozen other fact-checking organisations, is paid by TikTok in several countries to verify videos that potentially contain false information. TikTok has more than 170mn US users. Bytedance has previously said the Justice Department has misstated its ties to China, arguing its content recommendation engine and user data are stored in the United States on cloud servers operated by Oracle Corp while content moderation decisions that affect US users are made in the United States as well.

The top destinations we visited in 2024, according to the Sun travel expertsSenior couple set record as world’s oldest newlywedsBishop Gorman’s offense has scored using a variety of different skill position players this season. But there’s been one constant with the Gaels that has been hard for any opponent to match up with: Its offensive line, which is one of the best in the country. “Usually a quarterback has two, three seconds and they got to scramble,” Gorman quarterback Maika Eugenio said. “I can sit back there all day and just wait and that just speaks to how great they are.” The Gaels’ offensive line has been the anchor for an offense that’s featured several new faces this year. It’s helped the team dominate opponents and reach another state championship game. The Gaels (10-1) face Arbor View (10-1) at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Allegiant Stadium for the Class 5A Division I state title. It’s the finale of a four-game slate of state title contests at the venue. The action kicks off at 9 a.m. with the 1A championship game. Six of the eight teams playing are from Southern Nevada. Even though Gorman doesn’t have a dominant skill position player, it’s still been productive on offense. The Gaels are averaging 45.8 points and 411.8 yards per game. Fifteen players have scored touchdowns for the Gaels this season and four different players have thrown a touchdown pass. “That’s the hardest thing, if I were to prepare against us, is you don’t know what we’re going to do,” Gorman coach Brent Browner said. “They’ve put a lot of work in. They can run, pass, do either one. It starts up front with the o-line. They’ve been the anchor for the offense and they take it to the defense.” ‘Will do anything’ All five of Gorman’s starting offensive linemen are committed to Division I schools. Headlining the stellar group of seniors are four-star recruits SJ Alofaituli, Doug Utu and Alai Kalaniuvalu. Alofaituli is committed to Miami (Florida), while Utu is committed to Oregon and Kalaniuvalu is committed to BYU. “The connections we’ve made with the whole team, we just will do anything for our brothers,” Alofaituli said. “They’re the type of people you want to be on the field at the end of the day.” The group’s selfless mentality has helped running backs Terrance Grant Jr., Myles Norman and Jonathan Coar establish Gorman’s ground attack. The Gaels have rushed for at least 150 yards in nine games. It’s also helped Eugenio get comfortable under center. The junior stepped into the starting role in Gorman’s 55-28 win against Orange Lutheran (California) on Sept. 13 after Melvin Spicer IV went down with an injury. Eugenio has completed 68.7 percent of his passes for 26 touchdowns and just two interceptions. “I got to be a leader. I’m like another coach out there,” Eugenio said. “If someone doesn’t know the plays, I got make sure they know it before the ball snaps so we can execute that play. I just learned that you got to make the right decisions.” Browner credited Eugenio for sticking it out and staying ready. “To watch him flourish and watch him come out of his comfort zone has been impressive,” Browner said. Stellar defense Gorman’s defense has been just as impressive. The Gaels have held opponents to under 10 points in seven games and have five shutouts. “Last year, it was all (offensive) returners. This year’s all defense,” Browner said. “Having a group for that long, the biggest thing is how much they’ve developed in over one year and how much they are so prepared.” Several juniors have stepped up to lead Gorman’s defense. Defensive lineman Prince Williams leads the team with 24 tackles for loss and nine sacks. Jett Washington and Isaiah Nickels have anchored the secondary. Washington has four interceptions. “When they were freshmen, they were really quiet and were just a bunch of sponges around the older guys,” defensive lineman and Utah commit Sione Motuapuaka said. “Now that they’re juniors, I see them taking on that leadership role.” The state title game will be Gorman’s second look at Arbor View. The Gaels rolled to a 49-14 road win over the Aggies on Oct. 10. Arbor View’s 14 points were the most Gorman allowed to a local team this season. The Gaels are seeking their fourth straight state title and their 15th since 2007. Tuesday’s game will be the last one for a group of seniors that helped Gorman win its fourth mythical national title in 2023. “It’s just a blessing to be on the field the last time with the boys again,” Alofaituli said. “The mission that we had planned was to just finish off the season. We don’t take any opportunities away. We want to be on the field and have that last battle with everybody and pass on the torch to the younger generation and show them what the standard is.” Contact Alex Wright at awright@reviewjournal.com .

The only issue is one member randomly starts listening to YouTube videos loudly during family time. Watching “White Christmas” or listening to Christmas music together has not been the same since. Any suggestions? Dear Reader : I know I put the word “nephew” in the headline, but, upon further inspection, I realize you didn’t specify who was doing this. I guess I just pictured a real-life Bart Simpson with an iPad blasting Cardi B or watching an ISIS recruitment video while the rest of the family is pretending to enjoy green bean casserole. If so, perhaps this is what we get for giving kids iPads instead of letting them smoke cigarettes and shoot pool or whatever kids used to do back in the day. There’s a part of me that thinks it is you who is playing the videos, and you’re looking for permission to indulge your anti-social behavior. If so, you’ve come to the right advice column. Don’t let them stop you from enjoying the holidays your way. After all, what is the point of those Black Friday sales if you can’t use these newfangled devices to torment everyone around you? Perhaps the desire to pull up an internet video stems from the fact that the family is forcing each other to watch a movie that came out when Eisenhower was in office. People nowadays need more audio/visual stimulation than Bing Crosby can provide. There are plenty of activities that can bring the family together while also meeting your need to be perpetually overstimulated. If a more modern Christmas movie won’t do the trick, you could always watch street fights on the internet or start a makeshift gambling ring while you wait for someone to volunteer to do the dishes.
