In conclusion, the ban on the chief's travel is a necessary step to ensure a fair and impartial investigation into the allegations of misconduct. It is a reminder that no one is above the law and that those entrusted with public office must uphold the highest standards of integrity and responsibility. The government must act swiftly and decisively to address the concerns raised by this case and to ensure that justice is served.One of the most notable retirees from that squad is the iconic midfielder Paul Scholes, who was a vital cog in the United midfield for over two decades. Scholes, known for his incredible vision, passing range, and goal-scoring ability, left a lasting legacy at the club before hanging up his boots in 2013. His presence on the field was sorely missed after retirement, with many fans still reminiscing about his incredible performances in a United shirt.

When Zaachariaha Fielding was asked to collaborate with top Australian fashion label Romance Was Born, he felt like a pinata being smashed apart from the inside. or signup to continue reading "I tell you, my body could not handle the frequency that day," the multi-talented artist told AAP. "I almost passed out ... five different emotions happening at the same time." The invitation came the same day his music duo Electric Fields found out they had been chosen as Australia's entry for Eurovision. While Electric Fields didn't make the finals of the competition in Sweden, Romance Was Born's runway show featuring prints of his art was a stand-out at Australian Fashion Week in Sydney. Taking inspiration from the 1984 fantasy film The NeverEnding Story, the resort 2025 collection featured luminous moon children, humanoid replicants and quilted space cocoons. Ahead of the collection's release in December, Fielding showed off a cosmic balloon gown at a preview of the Radical Textiles exhibition at the Art Gallery of South Australia on Friday. Romance Was Born's Luke Sales said the garment was essentially a "big princess gown". He said he and design partner Anna Plunkett were drawn to Fielding's intense use of colour. "We always say his work has a real beat through it, like his music," said Plunkett, also in Adelaide for the exhibition launch. Collaborations such as these, combined with extravagant runway shows, mark Romance Was Born as a pioneering label. Since it was founded in 2005, it has championed an Australian sensibility through collaborations with artists including Jenny Kee and Del Kathryn Barton. It's high-end stuff, but as the Australian industry is smashed apart from the inside by imported fast fashions and a cost-of-living crisis, it's becoming ever harder to make truly radical work. "In this market and this climate, it's radical to be an independent brand and still doing what you do and being authentic," Plunkett said. Australian Fashion Week's long-time owners IMG pulled out of running the event earlier in November, and with its future in doubt, industry peak body the Australian Fashion Council has stepped in to run the 2025 edition. While Sales loves runway shows, he said they were hard work and stressful - and for many designers, might no longer be necessary. "Maybe Instagram is a better platform these days for a clothing brand ... the runway maybe should be saved for someone who's trying to do something a little more artistic," he said. The Radical Textiles exhibition also shows off high-end international designers including Vivienne Westwood, Viktor&Rolf, Iris van Herpen and Jordon Gogos. As for Fielding, he was feeling the heat showing off his cosmic balloon gown with its voluminous taffeta and interior corset. "I'm like walking lava - this is good," he said. "It's testing me, and I think I'm doing quite well." DAILY Today's top stories curated by our news team. WEEKDAYS Grab a quick bite of today's latest news from around the region and the nation.

Congratulations! Two Chinese scientists have been selected as "Ten Science People of the Year" by the renowned scientific journal Nature. This prestigious recognition highlights their exceptional contributions to the field of science and celebrates their groundbreaking achievements.An American missile defense system was used for the first time to intercept a retaliatory attack launched by Yemen’s Houthis rebels at Israel’s central airport overnight as threats continue to escalate between the Jewish state and Iran’s terror proxies. The projectile, targeting Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, was intercepted outside Israel’s airspace using a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system that was deployed by the United States in Israel this year, Reuters reported , citing an anonymous source. “18 years I’ve been waiting for this,” an American soldier could be heard saying in footage posted to social media showing the THAAD system launching an interceptor. President Biden placed the anti-missile system, along with about 100 US soldiers, in Israel to help defend the country following Iran’s Oct. 1 ballistic missile attack on the Jewish state, the outlet reported. The THADD system generally consists of six, truck-mounted launchers, 49 interceptors and radio and radar equipment, with 95 soldiers needed to operate. The latest attack — the fifth in the past eight days — triggered air raid sirens in Tel Aviv and surrounding areas overnight. Flights were reportedly halted for 30 minutes and about 18 people suffered minor injuries escaping to bomb shelters, The Times of Israel reported . Israel launched a multi-wave attack across Yemen on Thursday in retaliation for Houthi missiles and drone strikes, hitting key infrastructure like Sana’a International Airport in the Yemeni capital, as well as power plants in Aziz and Ras Cantib. Israel Defense Forces warplanes also took out key infrastructure in the ports of Hodeidah, al-Salif and Ras Cantib on Yemen’s western coast. Israel said the facilities it targeted were used by Houthi terrorists to shuttle Iranian weapons to the region, and demonstrated how the group uses “civilian infrastructure for terrorist purposes.” At least six people were killed during the attack, according to Houthi-run media. Houthi rebels have been a continuous thorn in the side of both Israel and international shipping companies since Hamas attacked the Jewish state on Oct. 7, 2023. They have repeatedly attacked cargo and tanker ships traveling through the Strait of Hormuz and have also launched missiles and drones at US forces stationed in the region. The Houthis have previously promised to continue their harassment of Israel so long as the war in Gaza persists. At least 200 missiles and 170 drones have been launched into Israel by the terror group in the past year.

While access to resources and a wide audience are undoubtedly enticing, the potential limitations imposed by a platform's cultural DNA cannot be ignored. The key lies in finding a delicate balance between leveraging the strengths of a platform like Alibaba and preserving the creativity and innovation that drive the gaming industry forward. Only time will tell how this delicate dance between commerce and creativity will play out in the world of gaming.

President-elect Donald Trump sent a message to Russian President Vladimir Putin following the collapse of the Assad regime in Syria after Islamist opposition fighters captured Damascus. He called for an immediate cease-fire in Ukraine. “Assad is gone. He has fled his country,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday morning. “His protector, Russia, Russia, Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, was not interested in protecting him any longer. There was no reason for Russia to be there in the first place.” The incoming president added that Moscow had “lost all interest in Syria because of Ukraine, where close to 600,000 Russian soldiers lay wounded or dead, in a war that should never have started, and could go on forever.” Trump then said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy “would like to make a deal” to end the nearly three-year-long war, noting the loss of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians. “There should be an immediate cease-fire and negotiations should begin,” he said. “Too many lives are being so needlessly wasted, too many families destroyed, and if it keeps going, it can turn into something much bigger, and far worse. I know Vladimir well. This is his time to act.” Moscow, a backer of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, whom it intervened to help in 2015 in its biggest Middle East foray since the Soviet collapse at the end of 1991, is scrambling to protect its position, with its geopolitical clout in the wider region and two strategically important military bases in Syria on the line. Russia has yet to respond to Trump’s remark, although its foreign ministry confirmed that Assad left Syria amid the conflict. “There is currently no serious threat to their security,” the ministry said. Over the weekend, in a separate Truth Social comment, Trump said that the United States should not intervene in the Syrian conflict. A top adviser in the Biden administration made a similar remark, stressing that the United States will not send troops to the restive Middle Eastern country. “The United States is not going to ... militarily dive into the middle of a Syrian civil war,” President Joe Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, told reporters in California. Sullivan stressed that the U.S. military would act out of necessity to keep the ISIS terrorist group from gaining a foothold in Syria should it happen. The insurgents who took over Damascus are led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, which the United States has designated as a terrorist group and says has links to the al-Qaeda terror organization, although the group reportedly has since broken ties with al-Qaeda.
