There is heartbreak across Ireland this evening after the first photographs of a husband and wife killed in a hit-and-run in Blanchardstown were released. Named locally as Anthony Hogg, 40, and wife, Georgina Hogg-Moore, 39 , the couple tragically lost their lives at around 5.45pm on St. Stephen's Day on Blanchardstown Road North , west Dublin. A vigil was held in honour of the couple at the scene of the incident on Friday evening. Georgina was pronounced dead at the scene of the incident while Anthony died as a result of his injuries in hospital. The couple, who are from the Blanchardstown area, have two children together.

Georgina Hogg-Moore's sister, Katie Moore, paid tribute to her on social media and hundreds of other people responded with their own messages of condolence. “Thanks for all the texts and calls. As you can imagine as a family we are absolutely broken-hearted, but if anyone knows anything please come forward I beg,” Katie wrote. One woman who knew both sisters responded: "Oh my God Katie. I'm so so sorry. All my memories from school were of Georgina and her madness. So sorry." Another woman who knew the family said: "So sorry for your loss Katie. Georgina and Anto will be missed so very much by so many people. Sincerest condolences to you and your families. May they rest in eternal blessed peace. I know your Daddy is hugging them both up there. Sending yous so much loves and hugs. Such a shock. Such an awful shock."

Police used tear gas to disperse the crowds and at least one person has died in clashes. Scores more have been injured, including journalists who were attacked by Khan supporters. Dozens of Khan supporters beat a videographer covering the protest for The Associated Press and broke his camera. He sustained head injuries and was being treated in a hospital. Shortly after midnight, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi had threatened protesters that police would respond with live fire if protesters fired weapons at them. “If they again fire bullets, the bullet will be responded with the bullet.” he said. Khan, who has been in jail for over a year and faces more than 150 criminal cases, remains popular. His party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, or PTI, says the cases are politically motivated. Get the latest breaking news as it happens. By clicking Sign up, you agree to our privacy policy . Authorities say only courts can order the release of Khan, who was ousted in 2022 through a no-confidence vote in Parliament. He has been imprisoned since his first conviction in a graft case, in August 2023, and has been sentenced in several cases. Khan’s supporters were around 10 km (6.2 miles) from their destination, the city’s Red Zone that houses key government buildings. Naqvi said Khan's party rejected a government offer to rally on the outskirts of the city. In a bid to foil the protest, police have arrested more than 4,000 Khan supporters since Friday and suspended mobile and internet services in some parts of the country. On Thursday, a court prohibited rallies in the capital and Naqvi said anyone violating the ban would be arrested. Travel between Islamabad and other cities has become nearly impossible because of shipping containers blocking the roads. All educational institutions remain closed. Mobile internet services and messaging platforms are experiencing severe disruption in the capital. The PTI relies heavily on social media to demand his release and uses messaging platforms like WhatsApp to share information, including details of events. The violence comes during an official visit by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.

Ange Postecoglou insists he can turn Tottenham’s season around into “something special” and go from being seen as a “joke to a genius.” Tottenham have managed just one win in their last six Premier League games, they have a deepening injury crisis and bookies have made Postecoglou the favourite to be the next manager to lose his job. But Postecoglou says he is not even thinking about being under pressure because he is too busy focusing on trying to build a successful team at Tottenham. Tottenham boss Postecoglou, whose side face Wolves on Sunday, said: “I get where people kind of look at my situation and think: ‘Jeez, he needs to do something or else he is in trouble’ but I don’t think that way. It’s not how I am wired. “I’m not concerned about that aspect of this role. Like I said, what excites me about this role and what I love about doing what I do is the possibilities you can create something special and that’s what I am going to try and do. “I will keep doing what I am doing. It doesn’t add any pressure or I don’t feel any extra anxiety about anything. I firmly believe we will get through this and come out stronger and create the team we want to be." Postecoglou also stressed the importance of his team meetings and trying to build up confidence in his players with rabble-rousing messages not just about football. “Some of it is lost on them because of the generation gap but that doesn’t stop me and I still keep going,” said Postecoglou. “I talk about whatever. There’s always things in life that you can relate to in terms of what we’re trying to do as a club, even the way we’re playing. There’s always people in life, who people look at a bit curiously because they do things a bit differently and they’re a bit of a joke until they get it right then all of a sudden they’re a genius. That’s probably relevant to us right now.” Postecoglou says Tottenham will look to strengthen in January as they are in the grip of the worst injury crisis he has ever known as a manager and his problems have deepened after Ben Davies suffered a setback in training. Centre-half Radu Dragusin is a fitness worry after turning his ankle in the Boxing Day defeat at Nottingham Forest while Djed Spence is suspended. First-choice defenders Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero have also been missing. They might have to patch up Dragusin or throw in teenager Alfie Dorrington having finished the Forest game with midfielder Yves Bissouma filling in at centre-half. Postecoglou added: “Ben had a setback in training so he's out for another couple of weeks. He's gone. He tried to come back in training but it didn’t work out.” When asked whether he has ever faced an injury list like this before, Postecoglou added: “No, not at this level and for this extended period of time. There's always been issues at different times but not to this extent. “We’ve had close to pretty consistently 10 first team players not available for a significant run of games. Definitely a first for me. There's certainly a need to reinforce if we can. Everyone knows January's not an easy time to do that. But the club's working hard behind the scenes to see what we can do.” Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.

Unfortunately for all that is Scarlet and Gray, when the Buckeyes finally started throwing punches -- or something close to them -- time had expired here Saturday afternoon. On the game. Perhaps on the season. The resulting postgame melee between Ohio State and Michigan laid bare the worst parts of one of the game's best rivalries. Several skirmishes broke out on the field among players following Michigan's 13-10 win after some Wolverines players attempted to plant two of the team's flags at midfield. In what was their strongest display of male testosterone of the day, Ohio State finally defended their field -- as the stands were emptying out, as the boos were raining down. As a fourth straight loss to the Team Up North began to sink in. And fester. "We're going to win in your house, and we're going to plant the flag," Michigan quarterback Davis Warren said afterward. "You should have done something about it." All of it came after four years of planning for this moment, when all things Harbaugh, Stalions and Go Blue were going to be backhanded into the Olentangy River in one big payback that was going to make all right with the Ohio State universe again. The line opened with Ohio State favored by 23.5 points , the biggest in the history of the series. Ohio State fielded the best roster money could buy, $20 million of it, for this purpose. To pound Michigan. And then the Buckeyes did what they absolutely couldn't, shouldn't do. They came out flat. That's the best way to explain how a team whose only blemish this season was a one-point loss to Oregon could stink this much. All it was going to take for a Big Ten Championship Game rematch with the Ducks was a comfortable win over the Wolverines. Saturday was supposed to be a pit stop for Ohio State on its way to Indy. Instead, Buckeye Nation needed a barf bag. Instead, Ohio State didn't score in the second half. Not only that, it didn't have so much as a first down in the game's final 20 minutes. A Michigan team that couldn't pass (128th nationally) didn't really have to. The Wolverines rammed it up the gut 11 straight running plays for the game-winning field goal with 45 seconds left. The score was reminiscent of those epic slugfests in the Ten-Year War: Bo and Woody. Except this one could have, at times, been fought with those foam noodles you hit each other with in the pool. Each quarterback threw a pair of interceptions. You can understand Michigan's play-calling being conservative. It didn't have the firepower to begin with. But Ohio State looked like it was trying to run out the clock from the beginning. There were too many runs into the middle of the line. Next to no imagination. The boos from 106,000 fans began cascading down in the second half. That from an adoring crowd following the nation's No. 2-ranked team. Yeah, that's how much the Buckeyes stunk. "They tried to look at us [before the game]," said Michigan defensive back Makari Paige , who had one of those interceptions. "They tried to stare us down. We knew in our head they really didn't want to come out here and play us." Adding obscurity to insult, the nation's No. 2 team was beaten by a transfer kicker from Troy ( Dominic Zvada ) and Warren, a former walk-on. Zvada is actually one of the nation's better kickers, a two-time Lou Groza Award finalist. It's just that the Buckeyes didn't figure he'd figure in the outcome. Zvada's 54-yarder in the first half made him 7-for-7 from 50-plus this season. And while all this Ohio State angst is going around, Ryan Day may want to check his back too. "As you know," the coach told reporters, "this is not easy to accept." Ohio State quarterback Will Howard -- he of the two crippling interceptions -- was asked where on the list of takeaways was the fact the Buckeyes, 10-2, are still likely in the College Football Playoff. "Very low," he said. There was some ugly history here. In 2017, Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield took a victory lap with the team flag and attempted to plant it at midfield following a big OU win here. He later apologized. Ohio State players were seconds into singing the school song "Carmen Ohio" Saturday when they noticed the Michigan flags waving near midfield. "They've got their f****** flag," Ohio State linebacker Jack Sawyer said. Seconds later, Michigan fullback Max Bredeson got pepper-sprayed directly in the face by a police officer. "I'm all right. I'm right," Bredeson said with tears running down his face from the pepper spray. "I'll kill you for real," one unidentified Michigan player shouted at an opponent. "I've never lost [to Ohio State]," defensive lineman Mason Graham yelled to taunting fans as he ran up a ramp to the visitors' locker room. Full Postgame Video from Columbus 〽️ #GoBlue pic.twitter.com/YE9vSPDmAH Four in a row adds to the depths of Day's situation. He is now 1-4 against Michigan and looked a bit shell-shocked afterward. "I have to take the ownership," Day said. The reaction will be a lot more profound than just ownership in the coming days. For the fourth year in a row, a team other than Ohio State is going to win the Big Ten. "We're going to regroup and go into the playoffs and make a run," Howard said, almost trying to convince himself. So at least there was that. Ohio State lost to a team that was about to become the first defending national champion to lose at least six games the following year since 1943. That might still happen in Michigan's bowl game, but the sweet memories of Saturday will prevail. The violent aftermath was reminiscent of the 2002 Michigan-Ohio State game here, when police pepper-sprayed fans who were trying to tear down goalposts following that year's win that clinched a spot in the BCS Championship Gam, which Ohio State won. And it's never a good sign when a statement from Ohio State Police trumps postgame comments by players and coaches. Following the game, officers from multiple law enforcement agencies assisted in breaking up an on-field altercation. During the scuffle, multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray. OSUPD is the lead agency for games & will continue to investigate. "Obviously, some things happened, and we're still trying to sort through and figure out what happened," Eric Whiteside, Ohio State Police Department deputy chief, told CBS Sports. In keeping with the spirit of things, the game ended with a Michigan player being flagged for "simulating shooting a gun" while celebrating the win. Things devolved from there, at least for Ohio State. MORE: Ohio State still in great College Football Playoff position
No matter how much a financial system is fortified against scams, there is always a fraudster, a conman, or a swindler aiming to game that system. Financial crimes, a la white-collar crimes, are committed, interestingly, by those working closely with the system or those having the innate skill to justify the art through the framework of ‘fraud triangle’, that is in the terms of opportunity, incentive and rationalization. Scams, mainly the pecuniary ones, involve conduct of dishonest practices leading to perversion, depravity and debasement of the entire morals of the social fabric. Financial scandals, like any other scandal, have a story of their own and, of course, the denouement. The truth of the scandals appears to be a drama at times, and at times an enthralling thriller. Vijay Narayan Govind, in his book Fraudster Tales, promises to tell select 10 true stories of financial scams, spread across centuries and continents, and in his own words, “these frauds were significant enough at the time to send major ripples through the systems they challenged, with many of them serving as the catalyst for key legal and regulatory reforms.” The book introduces 10 swindlers, each with their own story of fraud in a separate chapter with a suitable story-title to it. In Govind’s fraudster tales, Hegestratos’s tale emerges as the ‘First Fraudster’, circa 300 BCE, in Athens. He, along with his crime partner Zenosthemis, working as ship merchants, planned to steal the cargos, sink the vessel, and con the vessel’s insurers of shipload of valuable goods through enforcement of the clauses of bottomry and respondentia contracts. However, the plans went awry due to the alert captain and crew members and Hegestratos jumped and drowned himself in the sea. Zenosthemis was arrested, tried and imprisoned in Athens for a long time. The author picks stories, random perhaps, from Athens and other countries, including India. Haridas Mundhra in the tale of ‘The Great Investor’ and Natwarlal in ‘The Master Manipulator’ are the two Indians figuring in the book. The Mundhra scandal, first of its kind in independent India, not only was embroiled with the stock markets and financial institutions but was an expose of the wicked nexus between political party, bureaucracy, ministers and business class, perhaps a prototype of ‘crony capitalism’. The conman Mudhra duped Life Insurance Company (LIC) by forging share certificates, using them as collateral for loans, and amassing huge loans to the tune of Rs 15.60 crore by the mid of 1957. It was Feroz Gandhi, the law maker, who brought this scam to public attention that led to nationalization of LIC, resignation of TT Krishnamachari – then finance minister, indictment of finance secretary and some senior LIC officials, and, of course, sentencing of Haridas Mundhra to 22 years in prison. In the Mithilesh Kumar alias Natwarlal’s case, the story, though intriguing, is simple. From forging signatures and withdrawing money from banks, he graduated to nefarious crimes such as decamping cash from merchants and siphoning off goods from the cargo areas while using more than 50 aliases. Natwarlal even sold, impersonating himself as government official, the Taj Mahal thrice, the Red Fort twice, and the Rashtrapati Bhawan and Parliament once. He had developed this shrewd art of escaping prison, and one heard him saying quite often that ‘no jail is enough to hold me for too long’. Then, there is a story of how an expert William Chaloner counterfeited coins, notes, and lottery tickets, in the 1600s, but finally got caught by Sir Issac Newton, and sent to gallows for he was guilty of multiple currency frauds. Hugh Cameron’s story is about his conspiracy to cheat Royal British Banks and its customers, eventually which led to the Bank’s collapse. However, in due course, it triggered major legislative reforms in the corporate governance systems in Britain. Oscar Hartzell, a brazen rook, in another story, swindled millions of dollars from investors in a popularly known Sir Francis Drake estate scam. Another story, rather smutty and historical, called the ‘necklace scandal’, involves one French noble woman Jeanne de valois as the key conspirator. It became one of the scandals that led to French Revolution. US major Enron bankruptcy, led by Kenneth Lay, and the Ponzi scheme by Charles Ponzi, the two white-collar financial crimes, rocked the financial systems in the US. The 10 tales are fun, and a riveting read and, in the tales, the readers would find themselves in the murky world of scandals. The criminals of the stories have two things in common, one they dreamt of becoming filthy rich in a trice, and when caught they tried to justify that all is done in good faith, and second, all of them are caught and punished, which the author seems to lay down as the moral of the book.

Leslie's swings to quarterly loss as higher costs drag profits; shares drop 20%Minnesotans’ generosity on this year’s Give to the Max Day surpassed the previous record by almost $3 million. It’s a pleasant surprise for Give MN’s executive director Jake Blumberg, who said he had concerns given the current divisive economic climate. “I think we all know right now that prices have been high at checkout lanes throughout our lives and nonprofits have been experiencing the same thing,” Blumberg said. “ And it seems to us that donors really recognized that and wanted to step up to help the organizations that help their neighbors.” ADVERTISEMENT In 2020, Give MN saw the state break $30 million in donations, and it’s been consistently increasing since then. Blumberg said this shows Minnesotans care deeply about one another and Give to the Max gives them a chance to find common ground. This year saw more donations than years before and in higher amounts. The average donation went from $117 over the last few years to $134. “Will that trend continue? We sure hope it does, because the need for support from donors is going to continue to be at historic levels,” he said. “We know the need has only grown since 2020 and it’s certainly anticipated to continue growing. So hopefully donors continue to meet that challenge.” Nationally, donation trends have plateaued, but Blumberg says Minnesota has been an outlier since the pandemic. “There have been multiple years now where other giving events, like Give to the Max Day and other giving trends around individual donors have showed declines, and Minnesota has bucked those national trends, and this is one of those years,” Blumberg said. Blumberg said people give based on their values. Compared to previous years, more contributions were made to organizations that prioritized direct and social services, in addition to hunger relief organizations and those supporting unsheltered people and animals.
