West Ham show support for hospitalized Antonio before Premier League match
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Naveed Qamar said on Sunday that it remained to be seen how incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan's views would factor into the ongoing talks between the PTI and the government. He said the approval of political parties' top leadership was always essential for negotiations. "At some point, the top leadership has to approve of the developments of the negotiations, so their input is always there," Qamar said. When asked how the government would seek input from Imran Khan, who is currently imprisoned in Adiala Jail, Qamar responded that it would need to determine how to accommodate Imran's opinions in the process. Speaking to a private news channel, Qamar also dismissed PTI's claims that discussions were underway to move Imran to house arrest at Adiala Jail. "No such thing was revealed to us. You can hear all kinds of things from the PTI," he said. His comments followed a statement by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Rana Sanaullah, who asserted that if the leaders of the three major political partiesPTI, PML-N, and PPPsat together for talks, the longstanding national crises could be resolved within 70 days. Meanwhile, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif proposed the idea of a new social contract, saying that all major "power centres," including the army, judiciary, and bureaucracy, should participate in negotiations to address the country's challenges. Separately, PTI central leader Lal Chand Malhi released a video message stating that former premier Imran Khan had reiterated his call for a civil disobedience movement.

For more information, please see ourThe Miami Hurricanes, who once appeared to be a near-lock for the College Football Playoff, are not playing for a national title. Instead, they will play in the Pop-Tarts Bowl in Orlando. That bowl berth against Iowa State is a let-down for fans with dreams of a sixth national title in their minds, as well as players hoping to compete for a championship. However, Miami’s trip to Orlando and the lead-up to it are still crucial periods for the Hurricanes for multiple reasons. First, it’s a chance for the program to achieve something it has not done in more than two decades: win 11 games. Although the 11th win won’t get them closer to a championship, it is a good sign of the program’s progress over Mario Cristobal’s tenure. It would also end UM’s five-game losing streak in bowls. “We’re not satisfied,” Cristobal said. “We want to win every single game. We won 10. We were close on the other two, but close isn’t good enough. We want progress. We’re hungry and driven to get better, and so that’s what our focus is on: to improving as a football program, to getting better, to moving into the postseason with an opportunity against a great football team like this and putting our best on the field.” There are signs the Hurricanes will show up at close to full strength for the bowl game. Running back Damien Martinez announced he was going to play, and star quarterback Cam Ward said in a video call posted on social media that he intends to play, as well. “We’re trying to win our first bowl game in 20 years,” Ward said in the video, mistaking the length of UM’s long bowl losing streak. “We’re going hard.” Playing in the bowl game also provides the opportunity for the Hurricanes to get in several practices between now and the game. That means Miami can develop its young players and prepare them for next season during both the practices and the bowl game itself. “It’s extremely valuable,” Cristobal said. “You really don’t have many opportunities throughout the course of the year — time is limited more and more each season with your student-athletes. I want to state this and be very clear: it’s very important, it’s ultra-important for the University of Miami to continue to develop and grow and progress by stressing the importance of offseason opportunities ... You learn a lot about your team and learn a lot about your people and your program when you head to the postseason.” Of course, there are potential negatives. Players can get hurt; Mark Fletcher Jr. suffered a foot injury in the Pinstripe Bowl last year that cost him all of spring practice. A poor performance can also potentially set the tone for next season, like how Florida State, fresh off a playoff snub last year, suffered a devastating loss against Georgia in the Orange Bowl and went on to a dismal 2-10 season this year. “This is the ending of ’24 and the beginning of ’25,” Cristobal said. “This is the last opportunity to be on the field and carry some momentum into the offseason. So it is, in essence, it is the most important game because it’s the next game. “There’s a lot of excitement in the form of opportunity for our guys. Our guys love to play football. The chance to play one more time with this special group — this is a special group of guys now. They’ve worked hard to really change the trajectory of the University of Miami, and they want to continue to elevate the status and the culture at the University of Miami. So certainly a ton to play for.” ____ Get local news delivered to your inbox!According to Wong, the assessment test would lead to competition among the good top students to reach a faster and higher level of learning. — Bernama photo KUCHING (Dec 1): Former secondary school teacher, James Wong Hua Kiong, fully supports Sarawak’s decision to go ahead with its standardised assessment for Year 6 pupils and Form 3 students, meant to evaluate their academic performance. In voicing this out, he also emphasised that the assessment tests would help to determine the individual levels achieved by each student. He said at the same time, it would help guide the teachers on the standards that had been achieved by the learning students, which should make teaching a lot easier when they knew the strengths and weaknesses of their students. “This (assessment test) would lead to competition among the good top students to reach a faster and higher level of learning. “The old system has proven that the students learn and improve faster and achieve better results due to hard work competing with each other, and the poor students who failed in various subjects will try their best to overcome their weaknesses, mistakes, shortcomings and failures,” he said in a statement. Wong previously taught English, Mathematics and Science subjects in SMK Tinggi Sarikei and also in SMK Lundu. Adding on, he said retired and senior teachers could testify that past experience and records of academic performance and achievements had proven that the assessment tests ‘are very critical and of utmost importance’. “As a former teacher, I dare to confirm that our Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg and our Education, Innovation and Talent Development Minister Dato Sri Roland Sagah, as well as Senior Education Advisor Datuk Amar Michael Manyin, are leading in the right path and direction. “They themselves have gone through the examinations, and have attained the academic achievements, confidence and satisfaction as the examination results reflect the true picture and the progress achieved.” Wong also believed that such assessment tests would prepare Sarawak’s new generation of students to develop themselves into skilled professionals in the fields of digital economy, astronomy and green energy. James Wong Hua Kiong Thanking the Premier for being adaptive to the views suggested by Sarawakians, Wong also said Sarawak must follow the policies implemented by other successful countries including the use of English as official language, while encouraging more students to learn Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects. He added that Sarawak must have good trade relationships with developing and advanced countries. “Besides, we have also formed government investment arms and also set up a Trade and Tourism Centre in Singapore to attract more investors from Singapore, China as well as Western European countries. “A good development strategy and a brighter future for Sarawak is already ascertained by our GPS (Gabungan Parti Sarawak) government,” he pointed out.
