Since the final episode of Nine’s Footy Classified went to air, it has been expected Craig Hutchison would be returning to Seven as part of their 2025 AFL makeover. Seven finally confirmed today that after 18 years, Sports Entertainment Network (SEN) chief executive officer, Craig Hutchison, will return to the network in 2025. Hutchy is the latest high-profile recruit to join Seven to headline the network’s upcoming AFL news and opinion driven program, The Agenda Setters , which will air on Monday and Tuesday nights throughout the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season on Seven and 7plus Sport. Hutchy will host Monday night’s edition The Agenda Setters , where he will be joined on the panel by recent Seven signings Kane Cornes and Nick Riewoldt. Chris Jones Seven Network director of sport (and a former housemate of Hutchy’s), Chris Jones , said the new schedule was a win for fans, with the network set to have AFL programming seven days a week across Seven and 7plus Sport in 2025. “ The Agenda Setters on Mondays and Tuesdays will be appointment viewing, and together with Rainmaker, we’ve assembled an incredibly experienced production team for this show to complement our unrivalled on-air lineup. “ Unfiltered on Wednesdays is going to take us behind the curtain and give fans the opportunity to learn more about the person behind the athlete. With Hamish McLachlan at the helm, viewers will be granted the best storytelling possible with the biggest and most fascinating names in the game,” he said. “At Seven, we can’t wait to bring footy fans more content than ever before, every week of the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season on Seven and 7plus. “From mid-week footy analysis headlined by new signings Kane Cornes, Craig Hutchison and Nick Riewoldt alongside our existing group of AFL experts, to light-hearted footy content midweek, all before the first bounce on Thursday Night Footy, there has never been a more exciting time to be an AFL fan,” Jones said. Craig Hutchison Hutchy said: “Seven is the home of free-to-air AFL, and has an unrivalled history, legacy and contribution to AFL football. These new shows will shape and set the agenda of the weekday discussion of football, which is at the heart of the game. “The media and opinions around the game is the zeitgeist of what fuels Australian football, and we will bring the game’s biggest names to the table and call it as it is. “And on a personal level, to return to Seven where I spent many years earlier in my career is an honour ,” he said. There is still speculation that former Nine radio and TV contributor Caroline Wilson will also be part of the Seven team in 2025. It has yet to be officially announced though. Seven is promising AFL content every day of the week during the AFL season, including games on 23 Thursday nights, 24 Friday nights, 25 Sunday afternoons, five Sunday nights, plus marquee games and every game in the Finals Series including – exclusive to Seven and 7plus Sport – the Brownlow Medal and the AFL Grand Final.

They're the first back-to-back losses for the index in nearly a month, as momentum slows following a big rally that has it on track for one of its best years of the millennium. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 154 points, or 0.3%, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.3%. Tech titan Oracle dragged on the market and sank 6.7% after reporting growth for the latest quarter that fell just short of analysts' expectations. It was one of the heaviest weights on the S&P 500, even though CEO Safra Catz said the company saw record demand related to artificial-intelligence technology for its cloud infrastructure business, which trains generative AI models. AI has been a big source of growth that's helped many companies' stock prices skyrocket. Oracle's stock had already leaped more than 80% for the year coming into Tuesday, which raised the bar of expectations for its profit report. In the bond market, Treasury yields ticked higher ahead of Wednesday's report on the inflation that U.S. consumers are feeling. Economists expect it to show similar increases as the month before. Wednesday's update and a report on Thursday about inflation at the wholesale level will be the final big pieces of data the Federal Reserve will get before its meeting next week, where many investors expect the year's third cut to interest rates. The Fed has been easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high since September to take pressure off the slowing jobs market, after bringing inflation nearly down to its 2% target. Lower rates would help give support to the economy, but they could also provide more fuel for inflation. Expectations for a series of cuts through next year have been a big reason the S&P 500 has set so many records this year. Trading in the options market suggests traders aren't expecting a very big move for U.S. stocks following Wednesday's report, according to strategists at Barclays. But a reading far off expectations in either direction could quickly change that. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.22% from 4.20% late Monday. Even though the Fed has been cutting its main interest rate, mortgage rates have been more stubborn to stay high and have been volatile since the autumn. That has hampered the housing industry, and homebuilder Toll Brothers' stock fell 6.9% even though it delivered profit and revenue for the latest quarter that topped analysts' expectations. CEO Douglas Yearley Jr. said the luxury builder has been seeing strong demand since the start of its fiscal year six weeks ago, an encouraging signal as it approaches the beginning of the spring selling season in mid-January. Elsewhere on Wall Street, Alaska Air Group soared 13.2% after raising its forecast for profit in the current quarter. The airline said demand for flying around the holidays has been stronger than expected. It also approved a plan to buy back up to $1 billion of its stock, along with new service from Seattle to Tokyo and Seoul. Boeing climbed 4.5% after saying it's resuming production of its bestselling plane, the 737 Max, for the first time since 33,000 workers began a seven-week strike that ended in early November. Vail Resorts rose 2.5% after the ski resort operator reported a smaller first-quarter loss than analysts expected in what is traditionally its worst quarter. All told, the S&P 500 fell 17.94 points to 6,034.91. The Dow dipped 154.10 to 44,247.83, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 49.45 to 19,687.24. In stock markets abroad, indexes were mixed in China after the world's second-largest economy said its exports rose by less than expected in November. Stocks rose 0.6% in Shanghai but fell 0.5% in Hong Kong. Indexes fell across much of Europe ahead of a meeting this week by the European Central Bank, where the widespread expectation is for another cut in interest rates.Under fire health secretary Neil Gray told to 'come clean' after it emerged he took an official limo to movie bash He has already faced scrutiny over his use of the limo to attend football games Click here to visit the Scotland home page for the latest news and sport By TOM GORDON DEPUTY SCOTTISH POLITICAL EDITOR Published: 14:51 EST, 26 November 2024 | Updated: 14:51 EST, 26 November 2024 e-mail View comments Neil Gray has been told to ‘come clean’ about why he took an official limo to and from a film premiere after it emerged the SNP’s Culture Secretary attended the glitzy bash as well. The Scottish Tories have said the Health Secretary’s claim that he went to the star-studded event on ‘ministerial duties’ beggared belief given Angus Robertson - who holds the culture brief - was already there. Deputy Tory leader Rachael Hamilton said it appeared Mr Gray was simply ‘on a jolly’. The Mail previously revealed that Mr Gray - also under fire for taking ministerial cars to football games - was chauffeured to the opening night of the Edinburgh Film Festival. He and wife Karlie posed for photographs at the Cameo cinema on August 15 when it staged the UK premiere of The Outrun, which Mr Gray previously said he ‘cannot wait to see’. Neil Gray and his wife Karlie attended the opening gala world premiere of "The Outrun" during the Edinburgh International Festival in August Mr Gray attended the glitzy bash despite the fact culture secretary Angus Robertson was already at the premiere, with critics saying Mr Gray appeared to have simply been 'on a jolly' Official records state Mr Gray met representatives of film quango Screen Scotland at a ‘reception’ and discussed ‘culture’, even though it is not part of his health brief. They also say that Mr Gray was chauffeured from his office at St Andrews House to a ‘personal address’ and from there to the cinema. The Government last night refused to say if Mr Gray was driven home to pick up his wife before they attended the premiere together. The Tories said he appeared to have been acting more like a film fan - again at taxpayers’ expense. Ms Hamilton said: ‘Neil Gray needs to come clean on why he thought it was appropriate for him to attend this event. ‘Given Angus Robertson as Culture Secretary was already at the premiere, the Health Secretary appears to have simply been on a jolly. ‘His continued defence of using the ministerial limo to enjoy his favourite hobbies beggars belief. ‘Neil Gray has taken the taxpayer for a ride far too often. He must be upfront about these trips - including whether a family member was driven to and from the film premiere - otherwise the scandal engulfing him rightly won’t go away.’ The Airdrie and Shotts MSP took family members and a guest to five of the eight football matches he was recently criticised for attending. The Government said Mr Gray was undertaking ‘ministerial duties’ and it was not unusual for ministers to attend sporting and cultural events. But Mr Robertson’s presence at the premiere arguably made Mr Gray superfluous. The Culture Secretary met the film’s star, Saoirse Ronan, as well as the Film Festival’s director Paul Ridd and its chair Andrew McDonald. Mr Gray has faced intense scrutiny for being driven to football matches in an official limo Unlike Mr Gray, he was driven directly from St Andrews House to the cinema, not via any personal address. Mr Gray was accused earlier this month of using taxpayer-funded cars to indulge his love of football after being driven to eight games, half involving his favourite team, Aberdeen. He apologised to parliament for having ‘given the impression of acting more as a fan and less as a minister’. In December, Mr Gray took to social media to promote The Outrun - which is set in Orkney, where he grew up - saying ‘Cannot wait to see this!’ and ‘Cannot wait!’ The Government refused to say if Mr Gray’s wife also used the limo to and from the premiere or why Mr Gray needed to attend when Mr Robertson was already there. A spokeswoman said: ‘Ministers attend sporting and cultural events as part of their Ministerial duties.’ The Film Festival declined to comment.

While discussing how Major League Baseball owners could proactively rework revenue sharing to help smaller-market clubs remain competitive, KMOX/1120 AM host and frequent Best Podcast in Baseball guest Kevin Wheeler strikes upon a model the Cardinals could aspire to emulate during their self-imposed reset. It's not a team from a similar market size, but it is one the Cardinals were, until the past few seasons, most similar when it came to revenues. "The Atlanta Braves," Wheeler suggests. A team that develops, acquires, and keeps young impact players, Atlanta is closer, Wheeler argues, to the Cardinals in operations than the juggernaut Los Angeles Dodgers, aggressive-spending Philadelphia Phillies, or some of the big-budget barons of the American League. That prompts a look, position by position, about how the Cardinals could mirror Atlanta, and how wide the gap is for them to close. The Cardinals can start by accumulating talent, and that is what they're looking to do via trade this winter and, potentially, through the next season. This leads to the question on whether the Cardinals have a homegrown, surefire, superstar hitter ready to take a "Golden At-Bat" -- which is all the talk this past week as the commissioner referenced a rule that would allow a team to choose its hitter for a pivotal moment in a game, disregarding the lineup and more than a century of estabslihed rule for the drama. The Cardinals' front office heads to Dallas for the annual Winter Meetings on Sunday (Dec. 8), and they're in trade-talk mode. This brand new episode of BPIB, hosted by baseball writer Derrick Goold, begins by looking at the dominos that must fall elsewhere in the market for teams to turn toward the Cardinals and begin some holiday shopping with St. Louis. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of Stltoday.com , the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and Derrick Goold.

He took 5,730 votes, winning over second-place finisher Cathy Towtongie’s 5,215 votes. Andrew Nakashuk came third with 3,628 votes and Nicole Camphaug finished fourth with 2,092 votes, according to unofficial results posted on NTI’s website Tuesday morning. The day after the election, he met with Premier P.J. Akeeagok, who dropped by the NTI office in Iqaluit to offer his congratulations. “I told the Premier, we’re not always going to agree,” said Tunraluk, a 38-year-old former secretary-treasurer at the Qikiqtani Inuit Association, the same organization Akeeagok led before he became premier. “Looking to the future, I would like to work side by side with the government.” Hanging over their emerging relationship is a lawsuit NTI filed against the Government of Nunavut in October 2021, arguing the territorial government is not providing Inuktut language education to the same extent as English and French instruction. In November, the GN asked the Supreme Court of Canada to kill NTI’s lawsuit, after the Nunavut Court of Appeal ruled the matter could go to trial. Tunraluk said he wants to offer a second chance in the form of another last-ditch round of negotiations before heading back to court. “If we can work things out and avoid going to court, I would like to,” he said. “If we’re able to slow things down and make sure the language law is actually able to serve Inuit better, we can work things out. That’s my attitude — is to work together.” According to Monday’s unofficial vote count, Tunraluk’s support was heavily weighted in the Qikiqtani region, where he led voting in eight of 13 communities. By comparison, he won two of the Kivalliq region’s seven communities, and didn’t win any of the five Kitikmeot region communities. But that won’t influence Tunraluk’s approach to the Kitikmeot and Kivalliq regions, he said. “I grew up being told that I need to treat everybody the same, no matter what region,” he said. “These things don’t matter to me. I’m not the type of person to hold any grudges.” His recipe for addressing what were the most prominent issues of the campaign — transparency and accountability — is to meet early and often with residents of the communities. “I would like to meet with all the hamlet councils, the (hunter and trapper organizations) and with residents of these communities and make sure we listen to each community,” he said. During the campaign, Tunraluk visited Cambridge Bay, Kugluktuk, Rankin Inlet and Iqaluit, as a way to bridge the gap he perceives between NTI and Nunavut’s Inuit beneficiaries. The campaign is over but Tunraluk’s commitment to tour all the communities continues, he said. “When I was campaigning, I would tell people, I would tell everybody — the radio, the newspaper — everybody, that I will be visiting each community or have a team visit each community and listen to the people and what they, what they need,” he said. Regular financial reports are also a priority, he added, along with accessibility. “I will have to be working really closely with the presidents and the vice-presidents of our regional Inuit associations and make sure that they’re able to come into my office and speak to me,” he said. “It’s been a good campaign, and the number of voters indicates that we are moving forward and we will make sure that we’re getting closer to Inuit.”The last time a president signed an executive order with a price tag in the hundreds of billions of dollars, that president was , and the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the policy as administrative overreach. Now, president-elect has announced his own executive order worth hundreds of billions of dollars, promising to sign a massive on goods from Mexico, Canada and China on his first day in office. Those tariffs could be the first test of just how cravenly loyal the Supreme Court’s conservative wing is to the man who appointed three of the sitting justices to the bench. “Tariff” is just a fancy word for a tax paid by U.S. businesses on imported goods, with the added costs passed on to American consumers. Trump’s proposed tariffs of 25 percent on all products from Mexico and Canada, and 10 percent on all products from China, will cost about $272 billion per year, economists CNN. The president does have some congressional power to enact tariffs, but a policy as massive as the one Trump is proposing would normally trigger something called the “major questions doctrine,” legal analysts have . That’s the same doctrine the Supreme Court used to strike down Biden’s student loan forgiveness program and to hamper his efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It basically says that anytime a federal agency tries to enact a policy with “vast economic and political significance,” the courts have to scrutinize whether Congress actually intended to give the agency that power, the justices decided in 2022 in . In that case, the Supreme Court held that even though Congress had given the EPA the power to set environmental performance standards by applying “the best system of emission reduction,” Biden’s EPA couldn’t reduce emissions by phasing out coal and gas plants. A year later, in , the court struck down Biden’s $400 billion student loan forgiveness plan, even though Congress had given the Secretary of Education the power to “waive or modify” laws and regulations governing student loan programs. Critics have both decisions as a “judicial power grab” and accused the justices of legislating from the bench. But whatever the merits of the rule itself, the exact same justices that struck down Biden’s policies in 2022 and 2023 are likely to decide on Trump’s tariffs. Companies that will be impacted by the new taxes have been preparing lawsuits for weeks, according to a from NBC, meaning the rule will almost certainly end up litigation. The big question now is whether the Supreme Court will apply the same legal standard for Trump. In his statement on Monday, Trump seemed to hint at some type of national security justification for the tariffs. His planned executive order is in response to “thousands of people... pouring through Mexico and Canada, bringing crime and drugs at levels never seen before,” including fentanyl originating in China, he said. But so far, national security hasn’t figured in the major questions doctrine. In fact, critics argue that the rule itself national security. And even if there were an exception, it’s not clear what an import tax paid by American companies has to do with illegal border crossings. Of course, it’s completely possible the Supreme Court’s conservative majority will suddenly, conveniently decide the major questions doctrine doesn’t apply to issues of national security, and that all a president has to do is say the phrase “national security” to end any legal scrutiny. In that case, the Supreme Court will have passed its first MAGA loyalty test.
NC State defensive coordinator Tony Gibson is named head coach at Marshallonce wanted a “popular uprising” against fossil fuels, but as he has aligned himself with the political right, Musk’s plan for to fight the climate crisis by “accelerat[ing] the world’s transition to sustainable energy.” But as Tesla executives gathered in Palo Alto, California, earlier this year to pitch Musk, the billionaire rejected the idea, to buy computer chips to improve Tesla’s luxury vehicles. The discussions over what was known as the Tesla Model 2 reveal the change in Musk’s approach to the climate crisis as he becomes more and more embedded in President-elect ’s transition team. His change could help boost measures in the nation’s capital against clean energy and possibly even against electric cars. Musk called for a “popular uprising” against the fossil fuel industry in a film released in 2016, the year Trump was first elected to the White House. The world is “unavoidably headed toward some level of harm and the sooner we can take action, the less harm will result,” he told actor Leonardo DiCaprio at the time. “Tesla is working hard to help stop global warming,” he tweeted in 2019, also telling followers that the world was heading toward a “climate change meltdown.” All PowerPoint presentations at Tesla had to include data from former Vice President Al Gore’s documentary pointing to rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to remind employees of Tesla’s goals, according to But the information from the film is no longer required in the presentations. The climate crisis also appears to have dropped significantly as a priority for Musk. In August, he took part in a live stream on X with Trump, in which he said, “We don’t need to rush” to solve the climate issue. He also said that efforts to address climate change should take place without “demonizing people” and that “It’s not like the house is on fire immediately.” While those close to Musk told that he still thinks the climate crisis is a problem, he now believes that the risks of climate disasters have been overblown. “Global warming risk is overblown in the short term, but significant in the long term,” he wrote on X in May last year. Five people told the paper that his views have been affected by a right-wing media universe online and from his time in Texas. More recently, he’s grown fond of technological solutions to the climate crisis, including nuclear power and carbon capture. He’s now rarely seen talking about the climate crisis as a looming problem. Now, he is more focused on seeing robotics, AI, addressing population decline and getting to Mars as more important to human survival. Some executives at Tesla have left the business amid Musk’s change of heart, and Trump has campaigned on ending the electric vehicle tax credit which has been a boost for the company’s business. Musk has also noted that the tax credit will have to be removed. But he’s set to argue to Trump that he should help all his business ventures, such as and Starlink, not simply focus on Tesla, one person told The change in Musk’s views has been taking place over the course of years, five people told the paper, adding it comes after fights with environmentalists, a strained relationship with the Biden administration and a shift to the right in his views tied to the Covid-19 pandemic. “He used to be a Democrat who believed everything he was told was true about this,” one person told the paper. “And now he thinks for himself and realizes, yes, climate change is real, but it’s not nearly among the top problems right now.” In 2020, the pandemic began to change Musk’s views as lockdowns forced the closure of Tesla’s main plant. Musk began tearing down mask mandate posters, noted. Musk revealed in May 2020 that Tesla headquarters was leaving California. Musk’s transgender daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson received gender-affirming care around that same time, with those close to Musk saying that he was distraught at her transition. The pandemic and his daughter’s gender transition both pushed him to turn against Democrats and everything they stand for, including their views on climate change. “Anything the left saying [was] conspiratorial and bulls***,” one person told The following year, Musk grew irate after Tesla wasn’t invited to an EV summit at the White House. Musk began discussing climate issues with others who held skeptical views of climate predictions, such as Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Musk associate Robert Zubrin told the paper: “He decided he would join this camp, and this was more important than the whole climate cause. He decided to go all in,” Zubrin said. “And I guess in one sense, that is characteristic Musk – When he decides to do something, he goes all in.” Last year, Musk met entrepreneur and 2024 primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. The duo is now in charge of the outside commission the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, . In a taste of what’s to come, last month Musk reposted the names and titles of four people with low-profile climate-related jobs in the government, prompting negative attention with at least one of the four women removing her social media accounts.

Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel use towers. Published: November 27, 2024 12:00 AM IST By Edited by Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited and Sunil Mittal’s Bharti Airtel Limited are up for a fierce competition from an American player who is very likely to overtake these two telecommunication giants. Jio and Airtel are the two biggest players in the field on mobile communication and high-speed internet data, at least till now. Both of them are providing latest features like 5G network and OTT platforms at sustainable prices. But, it all seems to end pretty soon! Starlink of SpaceX, a company owned by Elon Musk, has launched a new satellite communication service “direct-to-cell”. Through this technology, users will be able to connect their smartphones directly to Starlink’s satellites. This means that there will not be a need for traditional mobile towers and internet and call connectivity will be available even in those places where telecom companies have not been able to install cell towers. Along with Starlink’s direct-to-cell service launch, the SpaceX team also announced partnerships with several major telecom companies. Elon Musk himself has confirmed this list by a post. Starlink has been continuously expanding its satellite communications network for the past few months. The company is constantly deploying new satellites along with launching new rockets to increase the speed. According to a report by TweakTown, users are now enjoying the internet at speeds of 250-350Mbps. This is much higher than the 50-60Mbps speed available through fiber in South Australian areas. This new service of Starlink is definitely a unique achievement in satellite communication. The service providing a direct connection to the satellite to the smartphone will not require any kind of cell tower. With this, communication services will be easily available even in areas where there is no coverage at present. SpaceX is constantly deploying new satellites to increase connectivity around the world. By integrating satellite technology with the existing mobile network, the service offers text messages, calling, and data services without any special hardware or apps. Apart from expanding mobile coverage, direct-to-cell technology can also prove to be very useful in emergencies. Usually, when a disaster like cyclone or earthquake occurs, there is a problem like mobile tower collapse, problem in wiring or malfunction. But if the phones are connected to the satellite network, connectivity will remain operational even at the site of the disaster and emergency services support will be available without delay. In addition to expanding mobile coverage, the direct-to-cell service will also offer connectivity to millions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. SpaceX claims that no special or additional hardware is required to connect devices through this technology. Users will continue to get uninterrupted connectivity during emergencies, especially while traveling in rural areas or dead zones. SpaceX is currently manufacturing advanced rockets and spacecraft. Elon Musk’s company is also launching spacecraft and rockets to deploy Starlink satellites. Direct-to-cell satellites will currently be launched on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and Starship. If Elon Musk’s technology succeeds, then the future of technology will definitely be changed completely. This will have a profound impact on the telecom industry and the need for mobile towers may gradually end. Starlink is a satellite internet service through which high-speed data is provided in more than 100 countries. Unlike cable-based broadband services, Starlink works anywhere where there is a direct view of the sky. For breaking news and live news updates, like us on or follow us on and .
