The new Maharashtra assembly will have 10 Muslim legislators, the same number in the outgoing house. Of them, six are from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, including five from Mumbai. Community groups have pointed out that the Muslim Members of Legislative Assembly (MLA) will constitute around 3.5% of the 288-member house, much lower than their proportion in the state's population -12-13%. The low representation comes after the disappointment in the community after the parliamentary elections in May when there was no Muslim among the 48 Members of Parliament from the state. Maharashtra's 78-member Legislative Council does not have a Muslim member after two members from the community finished their terms in July. “10 out of 288 MLAs. That is 3.47% of the house. That is too low,” reacted a community member to the election results, suggesting that the only way the community could get proportional representation in the assembly was if at least 30 seats were directly filled with nominees from Maharashtrian Muslims. The number of Muslim MLAs in Maharashtra's assembly has hovered around 10 for more than two decades after reaching a figure of 12 in 1999. Their numbers then fell in every subsequent election, from 11 in 2004 to 10 in 2009 and 9 in 2014 before rebounding to 10 in 2019. After the council elections, when none of the major political parties nominated Muslims for the to the council elections, community leaders in Mumbai had announced the setting up of a group called 'The Muslim Pressure Group' to lobby for better representation in the government. “Everything was going on well after the group was formed. In the parliamentary elections in May, Muslims voted for the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). We were hoping that the MVA will field more Muslim nominees,” said Altaf Patel, chief of the Muslim Pressure Group. Shabbir Ansari, Founder-President of All India Muslim OBC Organisation, said that their group met Congress leaders like Mallikarjun Kharge, Nana Patole, and NCP's Sharad Pawar to ask for adequate representation for Muslim candidates. “But they did not fulfill the promise. There are seats in Solapur, Nagpur, Pune, and other districts from where Muslim MLAs have been elected earlier. Muslims were not nominated from these seats. Only one seat out of the 46 in Marathwada was given to a Muslim nominee. There were no Muslim nominees in Vidarbha. At least Ajit Pawar's NCP gave some seats to Muslims. Congress did not do much,” said Ansari. Patel said that announcements by clerics like Maulana Sajjad Naumani, a religious scholar based in Mumbai, that Muslims will support 269 MVA candidates could have caused a counter-mobilisation of Hindu votes in favour of the BJP-led MahaYuti. “After the announcement was made, the matter was discussed in the national media for nearly three days. Leaders like Raj Thackeray reacted to this by saying that fatwas are being issued from mosques asking Muslims to vote for MVA. This created negative publicity and Hindus voted for MahaYuti. There was no need for such an announcement. Local voters know who they should vote for. In Thane, Muslims favoured a Hindu candidate over a Muslim candidate because they trusted his work," said Patel. Dr Azimuddin of the group, Movement for Human Welfare, who had announced the list of candidates endorsed by Naumani, did not respond to a request for a comment, saying that he was busy with meetings related to Muslim personal law. Adding to the disappointment in the community about the low number of MLAs is the fact that four of the 10 have been elected with margins of less than 4000 votes. The Malegaon MLA scraped through with a lead of 162 votes over another Muslim candidate. Haroon Khan of the Congress won the Versova seat with a margin of just 1600 votes. Three sitting Muslim MLAs, Nawab Malik, Zeeshan Siddique, and Farook Shah, lost from Mankhurd-Shivaji Nagar, Vandre East, and Dhule, respectively. In the last assembly, Malik had represented Anushakti Nagar, a seat won by his daugher Sana Malik this time. Muslim MLAs Malad: Aslam Shaikh, Congress Mumbadevi: Amin Patel, Congress Anushakti Nagar: Sana Malik, NCP Mankhurd-Shivaji Nagar: Abu Asim Azmi, Samajwadi Party Versova: Haroon Khan, Shiv Sena (UBT) Bhiwandi East: Rais Shaikh, Samajwadi Party Akola West: Sajid Khan Pathan, Congress Malegaon Central: Mufti Mohammad Ismail, AIMIM Kagal: Mushrif Hasan, NCP Sillod: Abdul Sattar, Shiv Sena
Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States, has diedAny proposal to ban children from social media would need to ensure young Australians can still connect with peers online, the internet safety watchdog says. As the federal government looks to pass its proposal to ban under 16s from using social media platforms, eSafety commissioner Julie Inman Grant says children must be protected online, but also still need to communicate via the internet. “We’ve only seen the social media sites moving incrementally, not monumentally, in terms of keeping kids safe and so we understand the ideas behind this,” Ms Inman Grant told ABC Radio on Monday. “We also need to make sure that particularly vulnerable and marginalised kids still have a way to connect and to create and explore. “When we implement what will become the law, we’ll try and do this in a way that is really protective of the range of children’s rights, including their ability to communicate and express themselves online.” Under the proposal, which has support from both the government and the opposition, under 16s would be barred from using Facebook, X, Instagram and TikTok. Social media companies would be fined up to $50 million for breaches of the law if they do not take reasonable steps to prevent young people from having an account. The laws will come into effect a year from when they pass parliament. There has been criticism the world-first laws have been rushed, with independent senator David Pocock saying there has not been enough scrutiny of the proposal. Experts will appear before a parliamentary inquiry into the social media ban on Monday, including mental health organisation Headspace and the Australian Information Commissioner. Senator Pocock said social media harms needed to be addressed, but the laws had to be looked over properly. “This seems like policy on the run, that they’re taking this approach where they’re saying, ‘well this is a silver bullet’,” he told ABC Radio. “The major parties ...are happy to forgo all scrutiny and just ram something through when, one, it’s in their self interest, or two, they can then hold that up going into an election saying ‘well, at least we’ve done something’.”Mr Carter, a former peanut farmer, served one term in the White House between 1977 and 1981, taking over in the wake of the Watergate scandal and the end of the Vietnam War. After his defeat by Ronald Reagan, he spent his post-presidency years as a global humanitarian, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. His death on Sunday was announced by his family and came more than a year after he decided to enter hospice care. He was the longest-lived US president. His son, Chip Carter, said: “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights and unselfish love. “My brothers, sister and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs. “The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honouring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs.” Mr Carter is expected to receive a state funeral featuring public observances in Atlanta and Washington DC before being buried in his home town of Plains, Georgia. A moderate democrat born in Plains in October 1924, Mr Carter’s political career took him from the Georgia state senate to the state governorship and finally the White House, where he took office as the 39th president. His presidency saw economic disruption amid volatile oil prices, along with social tensions at home and challenges abroad including the Iranian revolution that sparked a 444-day hostage crisis at the US embassy in Tehran. But he also brokered the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel, which led to a peace treaty between the two countries in 1979. After his defeat in the 1980 presidential election, he worked for more than four decades leading the Carter Centre, which he and his late wife Rosalynn co-founded in 1982 to “wage peace, fight disease, and build hope”. Mrs Carter, who died last year aged 96, had played a more active role in her husband’s presidency than previous first ladies, with Mr Carter saying she had been “my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished”. Earlier this year, on his 100th birthday, Mr Carter received a private congratulatory message from the King, expressing admiration for his life of public service.

CHI: This Convertible Bond CEF Is Ridiculously OverpricedJimmy Carter, 39th US president, Nobel winner, dies at 100
Andrej Stojakovic made 11 free throws to help craft a team-high 20 points, freshman Jeremiah Wilkinson had his second consecutive big game off the bench and Cal ran its winning streak to three with an 83-77 nonconference victory over Sacramento State on Sunday afternoon in Berkeley, Calif. Wilkinson finished with 16 points and Rytis Petraitis 13 for the Golden Bears (5-1), whose only loss this season was at Vanderbilt. Jacob Holt went for a season-high 25 points for the Hornets (1-4), who dropped their fourth straight after a season-opening win over Cal State Maritime. Seeking a fourth straight home win, Cal led by as many as 12 points in the first half and 40-33 at halftime before Sacramento State rallied. The Hornets used a 14-5 burst out of the gate following the intermission to grab a 47-45 lead. Julian Vaughns had a 3-pointer and three-point play in the run. But Cal dominated pretty much the rest of the game, taking the lead for good on a Petraitis 3-pointer with 14:50 remaining. Stojakovic, a transfer from rival Stanford, went 11-for-15 at the foul line en route to his third 20-point game of the young season. Cal outscored Sacramento State 26-17 on free throws to more than account for the margin of victory. Coming off a 23-point explosion in his first extended action of the season, Wilkinson hit five of his 10 shots Sunday. The Golden Bears outshot the Hornets 47.2 percent to 43.1 percent. Joshua Ola-Joseph contributed 10 points and six rebounds, Mady Sissoko also had 10 points and Petraitis found time for a team-high five assists. Holt complemented his 25 points with a game-high eight rebounds. He made four 3-pointers, as did Vaughns en route to 18 points, helping Sacramento State outscore Cal 30-21 from beyond the arc. EJ Neal added 16 points for the Hornets, while Emil Skytta tied for game-high assist honors with five to go with seven points. --Field Level MediaCal staves off Sacramento State for third straight win
CHARLOTTE — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 22 points, Jalen Williams added 20 points and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Charlotte Hornets 106-94 on Saturday night for their 10th straight regular-season win. Aaron Wiggins added 17 points and Isaiah Hartenstein had 12 points and 15 rebounds for the Thunder, who never trailed. Miles Bridges had 19 points and 10 rebounds, while Vasa Micic added 16 points for the Hornets, who have lost 15 of their last 16 games. Both teams were missing multiple starters with LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller sitting out for Charlotte and Luguentz Dort and Cason Wallace out for the Thunder. Oklahoma City bolted to a 61-46 halftime lead with Gilgeous-Alexander and Wiggins combining for 26 points on 11-of-17 shooting. The Thunder extended the lead to 20 in the third quarter and were never truly challenged again. Thunder: It wasn't the best game of the season by the Thunder, but they avoided playing down to the level of competition, holding a double-digit lead for most of the game. Hornets: With Ball, Miller and Tre Mann out of the lineup, Charlotte simply didn't have the firepower to keep up with the Thunder. On most offensive sets, Micic and Miles Bridges were the focal point of the offense. Charlotte had some chances to get it under 10 late in the game, but couldn't sink enough shots. The Hornets cut the lead to 11 with 10 minutes to play, but Kenrich Williams scored on a layup off a feed from Ajay Mitchell to squash any comeback hopes. Playing without Ball and Miller, the Hornets needed Bridges to step up, but he was just 1 of 8 from beyond the arc. The Thunder hosted the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday night in the second night of a back-to-back. The Hornets hosted the Chicago Bulls on Monday night.

The year that was 2024MINNEAPOLIS — Just over a week ago, the Lakers’ mission was clear. But what has transpired over the last week has been a reversal of what was desired. The Lakers’ offense was humming coming off a frustrating 119-118 home loss to the Orlando Magic on Nov. 21 that ended their six-game winning streak. Their 118.3 offensive rating (points scored per 100 possessions) ranked No. 4 through the first 15 games, delivering on the belief that the Lakers could be an elite offensive team. They scored at least 110 points in seven of eight games through the loss to the Magic and 12 of the first 15 games, helping them to a 10-5 record. The next step was clear: improve on the defensive end of the court, with the Lakers’ defensive rating of 117.4 in the first 15 games ranking 26th. The Lakers accomplished their goal: their defense has improved, with a defensive rating of 114.9 in their past six games (19th), including 109.8 (12th) in their last four. But it’s come at a cost – their once elite offense has fallen off significantly over the last week-plus, most evident in their 109-80 road loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night . “It’s very frustrating,” All-Star big man Anthony Davis said. “We were really good offensively and our defense was a problem and we kind of start just focusing on defense and now our offense is kind of shifted. So we got to get back to how we were [at] the beginning of the year, playing on both sides of the ball very well. “The good thing about it is, offensively it doesn’t take that much to get back going. Defense is a little bit tougher. So with the guys that we have in this locker room, I think we will be fine to figure it out.” The Lakers’ offensive rating has plummeted to 102.4 in their past six games for the league’s third-worst mark (28th) in that stretch. The absence of Austin Reaves, the team’s third-leading scorer who has missed the last two games because of a bruised left pelvis and is listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game in Miami, has impacted the offense. But the Lakers’ offensive regression started before Reaves’ injury. The ball and player movement has taken a notable dip compared to earlier in the season. The Lakers are passing fewer times per game during this offensive lull. Old habits have replaced the ones Coach JJ Redick tried to replace with an offensive system that values player and ball movement. “I feel like the offense was fun,” Redick said. “I really believe we’ve gotten better defensively. We’ve spent a lot of time as a staff defensively. And this is the nature of the NBA season. You don’t have a ton of time. The things you emphasize, hopefully you get better at. And sometimes when you don’t emphasize something, or you don’t work on something because you don’t necessarily have time, or you think you’re good at it and you think you have buy-in at it, you just get slippage. We gotta clean that up.” To LeBron James, the Lakers improving their offense will come down to investing similar energy as they did to improve their defense. “Just watching the film and seeing ways we can do better,” James said. “We did that a lot when we wanted to get our defense corrected and we corrected it. You spend a little bit more time on offense things too.” LAKERS AT HEAT When: Wednesday, 4:30 p.m. Where: Kaseya Center, Miami TV/radio: NBA TV, Spectrum SportsNet/710 AM
