( MENAFN - Gulf Times) Mozambique's president-elect Daniel Chapo on Friday called for“non-violence” and“unity” after widespread rioting this week sparked by his ruling party's contested election win. Chapo, who said he“regretted” the violence, promised that after his inauguration in mid-January, he would be“the president of all” in the southern African country, despite opposition claims of vote-rigging. Mozambique's top court on Monday confirmed that Frelimo, Chapo's party that has been in power for 50 years, won the October 9 vote, triggering four days of unrest that saw streets blocked, shops and businesses torched, and looting. Some 134 people were killed in the unrest, according to local NGO Plataforma Decide, taking the overall death toll since the elections to at least 261. Chapo said in his first public statement since the court decision that the worst affected cities were the capital Maputo, neighbouring Matola, the central city of Beira and Nampula in the north. “These acts only contribute to the decline of the country and the increase in the number of Mozambicans who are heading towards unemployment and poverty,” added the former provincial governor, who takes over an impoverished nation with glaring inequality in just a few weeks. Chapo thanked citizens who helped remove makeshift barricades to try to get life back to normal and praised security forces for“mitigating the harmful effects of political polarisation”. Several police officers died during the clashes, he added. He promised to turn around the country's economy and to do“everything to renew” Mozambique. International observers also pointed to electoral irregularities in the disputed presidential poll, which the Constitutional Council said Chapo won with 65.17 percent of the vote. The country's electoral commission had initially said Frelimo won nearly 71% of the vote. Before this week, Mozambique had seen a wave of demonstrations, strikes and blockades in protest at the election. Mozambique's capital, Maputo, is limping back to normal but residents are still fearful because of widespread looting and vandalism sparked by confirmation that the ruling party won contested elections. Food, fuel and medicine are running low for the city's inhabitants while the daring escape of more than 1,000 inmates from a maximum-security prison is fuelling wild rumours and prompted the creation of neighbourhood patrols.“My neighbour woke me up, telling me that men armed with machetes were walking around,” Maria Amelia, a 55-year-old cleaner who lives in Matola, near Maputo, told AFP.“When I went out, I saw my neighbours, armed with knives to defend themselves against these invaders. But I didn't see anyone. I was terrified.” Maputo bank worker Armand Tembe, 40, was also dragged out of bed before dawn.“I haven't seen any criminals outside. But it's starting to get scary. I don't know where the country is going,” he said dejectedly. “We stayed up until 4:30 in the morning and patrolled for something we only heard about and that no one saw,” said another woman who wanted to remain anonymous.“It was just hearsay, it makes it seem like a macabre plan.” Borges Nhamirre, a Pretoria-based Mozambican researcher, said that so far“there have been no verified reports of attacks of this kind”. But the fact that the police chief, speaking to the press on Wednesday evening,“announced that detainees could 'visit' houses has fuelled concern”, he added. “The prevailing sentiment in the conversations suggests that the government may have invented this crisis to control the ongoing social unrest,” he said. Venancio Mondlane, Mozambique's main opposition leader, has denounced the October 9 election results as rigged. On Monday, the country's highest court confirmed victory for the ruling Frelimo party, which has been in power for half a century. That set off riots that left more than 125 dead over several days, according to the local NGO Plataforma Decide. “We know who the real bandits are, it's Frelimo,” Mondlane said on social networks on Friday. On the streets of Maputo, makeshift barricades were slowly being dismantled, while the army was clearing some roads, according to AFP reporters on the ground. Residents were cautiously leaving their homes to look for basic necessities. “I'm looking for bread,” explained Isabel Rocha, 29, in the Laulane district of the city, after a sleepless night because of security fears.“The bakeries have been closed for four days. In fact, we lack everything. Even the small grocery stores are closed.” Lina Chauque, 47, sat despondently on the pavement with a large bundle containing lettuces and cabbages next to her. She had been waiting for two hours with several other women for a bus to arrive to sell her products at market.“We tried to ask for help from some trucks that passed but the drivers did not want to take us,” she said. A short distance away, cars queued patiently outside a petrol station where only one pump still had fuel. “I am looking for medicine for me and my mother,” explained Tomas Panguene, 65, who suffers from knee pain. “Yesterday I went out to find a pharmacy but the streets were still barricaded. I found what I needed this morning.” MENAFN27122024000067011011ID1109036198 Legal Disclaimer: MENAFN provides the information “as is” without warranty of any kind.

There is also a debate about the way certain disparate subjects are combined to form one Ministry. This is not surprising, given that at one time a previous Foreign Minister demanded that the two lotteries boards be brought under his Ministry. However, some seemingly distant subjects can be an ideal combination if one looks at it from a fresh perspective. Media and Health, now under one Ministry, are two such subjects. Media and Health Minister Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa is eminently qualified to helm this Ministry, being a media savvy medical doctor. The media is the most potent weapon that we can use against disease. This became apparent during the Covid-19 pandemic when the immense power of the conventional media, both print and electronic, was used admirably to spread the message of prevention. It is through the media that the public came to know of the importance of wearing masks, washing or sanitising hands, social distancing, cough etiquette, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and other health practices. The media’s extensive relaying of Public Service Announcements (PSAs) helped raise awareness of the disease and the steps that one could take to keep it at bay. The conventional media also played another critical role that was not really appreciated at that time – fighting disinformation spread on social media and the Internet. Social media outlets such as Facebook, X, YouTube and Reddit were rife with outright lies on the two mRNA vaccines manufactured by Pfizer and Modena which had proven to be more than 90 percent effective against the onset of Covid-19 pandemic. According to such “fake news” posts, the two vaccines could even make recipients infertile. These completely unfounded claims were unfortunately believed by millions of people around the world, leading to deaths that could have easily been prevented. Here in Sri Lanka, the conventional media rose to the occasion and painted a correct picture of the vaccines that helped the health authorities to save thousands of lives. Medical experts who appeared on TV regularly stressed the importance of getting the three Covid-19 jabs on time. Many TV stations also telecast 30-second PSAs on health practices and vaccines at prime time. This was one occasion that the conventional media triumphed over the Internet, despite almost everyone having a smartphone with an Internet connection. Yet, the disinformation campaign against vaccines is not over on a global scale. There is a marked dip in childhood vaccinations in many countries including the US, where some politicians including incoming Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, have peddled conspiracy theories regarding vaccines. Many parents have believed his claim that the Measles vaccine can cause autism, leading to an explosion of measles cases in the US and many developed countries. Even though scientists have debunked these claims with ample proof, people still fall for them. This has now become a global public health challenge. In the light of such false claims amplified in the social media echo chamber, Minister Dr. Jayatissa must take the lead in championing the cause and efficacy of vaccines and vaccinations. Sri Lanka shines globally for its almost perfect childhood vaccination record. In close partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO), Sri Lanka has been conducting a childhood vaccination campaign for several decades that has drastically slashed infant and child mortality rates. These indices are, in fact, almost on par with those of the developed world, which is no mean feat for a small developing nation. But young Sri Lankan parents who are constantly online might be gullible to the untruths regarding vaccines, which could roll back the progress the country has made in the health sphere. This is why a mainstream media campaign must take these false claims on vaccines head on. Of course, the mainstream media outlets themselves must also extensively use social media to get this message across if they are to target young families. Such messaging must necessarily extend to every facet of healthcare. Sometimes, the message needs to be very simple. Many people living in remote areas spend much time and money to come to the main national hospitals in Colombo, Kandy or Galle (Karapitiya) to get treated even for simple ailments which can easily be handled by rural hospitals and healthcare centres. Many regional hospitals also have heart, eye and ENT facilities that obviate the need to rush to Colombo for related ailments. But many rural residents are unaware of this fact and think that one must rush to Colombo, Kandy or Galle even for influenza. Since many rural dwellers have limited access to the Internet, it is best to use the conventional media to spread the message that the nearest hospital is often the best hospital for a range of healthcare needs. This will reduce congestion at the main hospitals and save time and money for rural patients. In any case, the doctors at a given rural hospital can determine whether a patient has to be transferred to a bigger city hospital by ambulance. It is also vital to educate the public that there is no greater benefit in using brand-name drugs instead of generic drugs which are many times cheaper. Moreover, patients are generally in the dark about the actual Maximum Retail Prices (MRPs) of both generic and imported brand-name drugs. These should be regularly published via the print media in all three languages to keep the public informed. There should also be a bigger media campaign focusing on Non-Communicable Diseases such as heart disease and diabetes especially with regard to preventive measures. The media must cooperate with the new Health Minister to popularise the age-old wisdom that “Health is Wealth”.LAS VEGAS -- After weeks of controversy, angry local feedback and even criticism from reigning world champion himself, the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix produced the best race of the 2023 season. Not only that, it delivered the most financially lucrative weekend in Sin City's long and storied history, eclipsing even February's Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium. It wasn't to everybody's taste. During the buildup to last year's event, which featured a very over-the-top driver presentation, Verstappen quipped the race was "99% show and 1% sporting event," adding that the ceremony had made him feel like "a clown." As if to prove winning makes everything better, the Dutchman signed off his victory at the inaugural race later in the weekend by singing "Viva Las Vegas" over the radio. When asked how he was feeling about the second year's race during Wednesday's media session, Verstappen started with a typically frank reply. "I get it," he said, with a wry smile. Pressed on what he meant, he added: "I get it. I understand why we're here and business wise, racing-related wise. For me, the opening ceremony ... if you ask me if I want to do that or not, I will always choose not to do it, but that's not why something is more positive or not. But I'm happy to be here, I'm happy to be in Vegas, it's a great city. "Is it my favorite track on the calendar? No, but everyone has their favorite tracks. But I'm happy to be here. Last year the racing was very exciting, there was a lot of racing going on, a lot of straights, it's good for overtaking, the shots are amazing, you know, driving on the Strip. So I hope you don't write all too negative about what I think about Vegas because the race last year was great." Glowing praise indeed, which will have been music to the ears of the organizers of the race: itself. The event is unique on the sport's schedule as it is the only one that sees F1 double up as the promoter, having invested in building the permanent paddock facility in the middle of the city. Verstappen will also be relieved to know there is no driver presentation this time around. His comments and the other negative headlines the race generated -- which peaked when 's Ferrari was , with the subsequent delay to fix the others on the circuit negating any practice running for the rest of the first day -- ended up being a blip on the overall event and the money it generated. The eye-watering numbers were historic. A Clark County report issued in April totaled at $1.5 billion, while . To give those staggering figures some context, Super Bowl LVIII totaled overall economic impacts at $1 billion, with $33.6 million generated in taxes. Outdrawing America's biggest sporting event was not something F1 had dared predict 12 months ago. It was a massive vindication on a project that cost the series an estimated $400 million. Most impressive to those on the Las Vegas side is that the debut race managed to do something previously considered impossible: generating big bucks the weekend before Thanksgiving, traditionally the leanest on the calendar in terms of revenue. F1 and Las Vegas have been careful in downplaying the chances of replicating or beating those numbers this year, and also brushed off reports of lower ticket sales this time around -- the city is notoriously a late market when it comes to people purchasing holidays and attending events. When asked if the race had seen a late boost for tickets this year, Las Vegas GP CEO Renee Wilm said on Wednesday: "Yes, we're seeing very much what we expected. We have a number of zones that are already sold out, our general admission is sold out. Wynn Grid Club has sold out, main grandstand has sold out. I'm probably missing a couple, but we're very excited about the conversion rates we've seen this past week. "Once we got past Austin and the election, that's when [ticket] traffic increased and so did conversion. This is a very last-minute market, and we did not go on sale as early as we did in Year 1. Year 1 we had our big launch event, that was six months essentially earlier than we went on sale for Year 2." In terms of how to measure success this time around, she said: "We have many objectives, obviously, but there's the [Las Vegas Grand Prix] objectives, and then there's Formula 1 objectives. I think from an F1 perspective, it's obviously continuing to grow and educate the sport in the U.S. We still believe it's our key strategic growth market." It wasn't just on-track matters that precipitated negative headlines, though. The long buildup to the first race, which included an extensive build of the barriers that line the circuit and the building of scaffolding near iconic landmarks such as the Bellagio fountain, irked locals, who dealt with disruption. But with the first event requiring everything to be done from scratch, this year has felt like a much lighter lift. "We've been much more engaged in a constructive way with the community, and we did just a better job with communication, just around road closures," Wilm said. "We also didn't have nearly as much construction as we did in Year 1. Year 1 was 3.8 miles of re-asphalting. This year, we [only] put up some lighting tresses, patched a few areas and put up some safety barriers." Locals were not just upset with the disruption to roads, though. While the money generated last year was impressive, some critics have suggested that impact was felt by a small minority rather than the community at large. Wilm countered that suggestion by saying that $22 million of the tax generated last year has been redirected back into the local school system. "We've seen such a turnaround in local sentiment," Wilm added. "I think once you really look at the numbers, and then you eliminate the negative sentiment, it has absolutely hit home with locals that we are creative. We're here to stay. We're here to be part of the community and to give back both economically as well as in other qualitative ways." Making an event that has a happy community at the heart of it has become the driving force behind all future plans made for the race. "It needs to work for everybody," said Steve Hill, CEO and president of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. "It needs to work for the businesses, the sponsors of the race, the resort community and it needs to work for the community itself. This year I think we are much closer to that balance than we were last year. It was a fantastic performance last year and an amazing achievement to pull it off." And what of the final product? Most in F1 expect another great race, with the colder November temperatures creating a rare challenge for teams with their tires. Another bonus, ironically centered around Verstappen, is also tantalizingly close. The Dutchman could wrap up the title at the race if he finishes ahead of or avoids losing more than three points to him. The race has gamed out multiple scenarios in case that does happen to mark the occasion. Whether Verstappen will be triumphantly belting out another rendition of Elvis Presley come Saturday evening remains to be seen.
FILE PHOTO: Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau looks on, on the day he makes an announcement at Aylesbury Public School in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, November 22, 2024. REUTERS/Carlos Osorio/ File Photo Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Saturday condemned violence and antisemitism at anti-NATO and pro-Palestinian protests in downtown Montreal on Friday night, where NATO delegates have gathered for the alliance's annual assembly. Around 300 delegates from NATO members and partner states are meeting in Montreal from Nov. 22-25. Local media reported that protesters burned an effigy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and lit smoke bombs. Two separate protest groups merged into a march, and some protesters started throwing smoke bombs and metal objects at officers policing the demonstration, Montreal police said. Police used tear gas and batons to disperse the crowd and three people were arrested for assaulting officers and obstructing police work. Protesters set two cars on fire and smashed windows as the march was dispersed around 7 pm ET, police said. Videos and pictures posted to social media showed masked rioters burning flares and battering storefront windows. "What we saw on the streets of Montreal last night was appalling. Acts of antisemitism, intimidation, and violence must be condemned wherever we see them," Trudeau said in a post on social media website X. Pro-Palestinian protests have been taking place across Canada since the Israel-Gaza war started late last year. Israel's 13-month campaign in Gaza has killed more than 44,000 people and displaced nearly all the enclave's population at least once, according to Gaza officials. The war was launched in response to an attack by Hamas-led fighters who killed 1,200 people and captured more than 250 hostages in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, Israel has said.

NoneJonah Goldberg Among elites across the ideological spectrum, there's one point of unifying agreement: Americans are bitterly divided. What if that's wrong? What if elites are the ones who are bitterly divided while most Americans are fairly unified? History rarely lines up perfectly with the calendar (the "sixties" didn't really start until the decade was almost over). But politically, the 21st century neatly began in 2000, when the election ended in a tie and the color coding of electoral maps became enshrined as a kind of permanent tribal color war of "red vs. blue." Elite understanding of politics has been stuck in this framework ever since. Politicians and voters have leaned into this alleged political reality, making it seem all the more real in the process. I loathe the phrase "perception is reality," but in politics it has the reifying power of self-fulfilling prophecy. Like rival noble families in medieval Europe, elites have been vying for power and dominance on the arrogant assumption that their subjects share their concern for who rules rather than what the rulers can deliver. Political cartoonists from across country draw up something special for the holiday In 2018, the group More in Common published a massive report on the "hidden tribes" of American politics. The wealthiest and whitest groups were "devoted conservatives" (6%) and "progressive activists" (8%). These tribes dominate the media, the parties and higher education, and they dictate the competing narratives of red vs. blue, particularly on cable news and social media. Meanwhile, the overwhelming majority of Americans resided in, or were adjacent to, the "exhausted majority." These people, however, "have no narrative," as David Brooks wrote at the time. "They have no coherent philosophic worldview to organize their thinking and compel action." Lacking a narrative might seem like a very postmodern problem, but in a postmodern elite culture, postmodern problems are real problems. It's worth noting that red vs. blue America didn't emerge ex nihilo. The 1990s were a time when the economy and government seemed to be working, at home and abroad. As a result, elites leaned into the narcissism of small differences to gain political and cultural advantage. They remain obsessed with competing, often apocalyptic, narratives. That leaves out most Americans. The gladiatorial combatants of cable news, editorial pages and academia, and their superfan spectators, can afford these fights. Members of the exhausted majority are more interested in mere competence. I think that's the hidden unity elites are missing. This is why we keep throwing incumbent parties out of power: They get elected promising competence but get derailed -- or seduced -- by fan service to, or trolling of, the elites who dominate the national conversation. There's a difference between competence and expertise. One of the most profound political changes in recent years has been the separation of notions of credentialed expertise from real-world competence. This isn't a new theme in American life, but the pandemic and the lurch toward identity politics amplified distrust of experts in unprecedented ways. This is a particular problem for the left because it is far more invested in credentialism than the right. Indeed, some progressives are suddenly realizing they invested too much in the authority of experts and too little in the ability of experts to provide what people want from government, such as affordable housing, decent education and low crime. The New York Times' Ezra Klein says he's tired of defending the authority of government institutions. Rather, "I want them to work." One of the reasons progressives find Trump so offensive is his absolute inability to speak the language of expertise -- which is full of coded elite shibboleths. But Trump veritably shouts the language of competence. I don't mean he is actually competent at governing. But he is effectively blunt about calling leaders, experts and elites -- of both parties -- stupid, ineffective, weak and incompetent. He lost in 2020 because voters didn't believe he was actually good at governing. He won in 2024 because the exhausted majority concluded the Biden administration was bad at it. Nostalgia for the low-inflation pre-pandemic economy was enough to convince voters that Trumpian drama is the tolerable price to pay for a good economy. About 3 out of 4 Americans who experienced "severe hardship" because of inflation voted for Trump. The genius of Trump's most effective ad -- "Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you" -- was that it was simultaneously culture-war red meat and an argument that Harris was more concerned about boutique elite concerns than everyday ones. If Trump can actually deliver competent government, he could make the Republican Party the majority party for a generation. For myriad reasons, that's an if so big it's visible from space. But the opportunity is there -- and has been there all along. Goldberg is editor-in-chief of The Dispatch: . Get opinion pieces, letters and editorials sent directly to your inbox weekly!
Vancouver's Bench Accounting abruptly shuts down, with 600 jobs potentially lost
CHAMBERS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- Another TikTok challenge is going viral, but authorities are warning that the prank isn't so innocent. The Chambers County Sheriff's Office said deputies are investigating reports of the "door-kicking challenge." The idea is that videos will gain traction online if users participate in kicking strangers' doors as a prank while recording for social media. Authorities said the trend is disruptive and can lead to serious consequences. The sheriff's office worries that homeowners may mistake the prank as an attempted burglary, leading to defensive actions that put lives at risk. Parents are encouraged to talk to their children about the dangers of reckless trends on social media. Deputies urge residents to "be vigilant and report suspicious behavior to law enforcement." "This is not a harmless prank. It's reckless, unlawful, and could have life-altering consequences. Let's work together to keep Chambers County safe," the sheriff's office said.

The Reds ultimately left St James’ Park with only a point after Fabian Schar snatched a 3-3 draw at the end of a pulsating encounter, but Salah’s double – his 14th and 15th goals of the season – transformed a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 lead before the Switzerland defender’s late intervention. The 32-year-old Egypt international’s future at Anfield remains a topic of debate with his current contract running down. Asked about Salah’s future, Slot said: “It’s difficult for me to predict the long-term future, but the only thing I can expect or predict is that he is in a very good place at the moment. Two goals and an assist for Mo tonight 👏 — Liverpool FC (@LFC) “He plays in a very good team that provides him with good opportunities and then he is able to do special things. “And what makes him for me even more special is that in the first hour or before we scored to make it 1-1, you thought, ‘He’s not playing his best game today’, and to then come up with a half-hour or 45 minutes – I don’t know how long it was – afterwards with an assist, two goals, having a shot on the bar, being a constant threat, that is something not many players can do if they’ve played the first hour like he did. “That is also what makes him special. If you just look at the goals, his finish is so clinical. He’s a special player, but that’s what we all know.” Salah did indeed endure a quiet opening 45 minutes by his standards and it was the Magpies who went in at the break a goal to the good after Alexander Isak’s stunning 35th-minute finish. Slot said: “The shot from Isak, I don’t even know if Caoimh (keeper Caoimhin Kelleher) saw that ball, as hard as it was.” Salah set up Curtis Jones to level five minutes into the second half and after Anthony Gordon has restored the hosts’ lead, levelled himself from substitute Trent Alexander-Arnold’s 68th-minute cross. He looked to have won it with a fine turn and finish – his ninth goal in seven league games – seven minutes from time, only for Schar to pounce from a tight angle in the 90th minute. Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe was delighted with the way his team took the game to the Reds four days after their disappointing 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace. Howe, who admitted his surprise that VAR official Stuart Attwell had not taken a dimmer view of a Virgil van Dijk shoulder barge on Gordon, said: “It’s mixed emotions. “Part of me feels we should have won it – a big part of me – but part of me is pleased we didn’t lose either because it was such a late goal for us. “Generally, I’m just pleased with the performance. There was much more attacking output, a much better feel about the team. “There was much better energy, and it was a really good performance against, for me, the best team we’ve played so far this season in the Premier League, so it was a big jump forward for us.”
US ski star Mikaela Shiffrin said Wednesday that she's "starting to feel a little bit more human" after suffering a puncture wound in a giant slalom crash but confirmed she won't race at Beaver Creek, Colorado, this month. "This is another fairly ambiguous injury and really hard to put a timeline of when I'll be either back on snow or back to racing," Shiffrin said in a video posted on social media. "But I do know that I will not be starting in Beaver Creek." Shiffrin had already said after Saturday's crash she didn't expect to be ready for the Colorado races, a downhill on December 14 and a super-G on December 15. On Wednesday, she said that whatever object caused the puncture in her abdomen also left "tore a cavern" in her oblique muscles. She said she had also undergone further testing to check for possible damage to her colon. "There were some air bubbles where the puncture came pretty close to the colon," she said. "Last night's check confirmed that my colon is, indeed, intact." Shiffrin was closing in on a once unimaginable 100th World Cup victory when she crashed in the second leg of the giant slalom at Killington, Vermont, on Saturday. She hit one gate and tumbled through another before sliding into the catch fencing and was taken from the hill on a sled. She won't miss any races this weekend because the two women's giant slaloms scheduled for Tremblant, Canada, were cancelled because of lack of snow. However, Shiffrin said she would be sorry not to resume her bid for a 100th World Cup win on the circuit's next US stop. "This is a really big bummer, not to be able to race Birds of Prey," Shiffrin said. "But on the other hand I was really lucky and I'm really looking forward to cheering my teammates on racing Beaver Creek." In 2023, Shiffrin broke Ingemar Stenmark's record of 86 World Cup wins, a mark once considered unassailable. Compatriot Lindsey Vonn has the second-most alpine World Cup wins by a woman with 82. bb/jsNone
