Kylie Kelce steps into spotlight with new talk show as she announces fourth pregnancyA Denver City Council committee on Wednesday advanced a measure that would ban sales of most flavored tobacco and nicotine products in the city, despite strong objections from the industry and retailers that sell e-cigarettes and vapes. The council’s Safety, Housing, Education & Homelessness Committee voted 6-1 to move the ban on for consideration at the full council. The final vote would be the second attempt to pass a flavored tobacco ban in the last three years. The measure would ban nearly every kind of flavored tobacco and nicotine product from being sold within the city’s borders, including menthol cigarettes and flavored e-cigarettes and vapes. The goal, according to the ordinance’s sponsors, is to protect the health of young people. Retailers — including Phil Guerin, the owner of vape shop Myxed Up Creations, which has a Denver location — argued the ban would punish law-abiding business owners who do not sell to underage customers and would deprive the city of millions in sales tax revenues. Colorado law sets the minimum age for tobacco products at 21. The proposed ordinance was introduced in late October , but its progress was delayed through November while sponsors met with industry representatives and incorporated feedback. The updated ordinance discussed Wednesday exempts flavored tobacco smoked out of hookah pipes, a common practice in Middle Eastern and North African cultures. The ordinance, including the hookah exemption, closely mirrors the progress of a similar ban that the council passed in 2021. Then-Mayor Michael Hancock vetoed that law , arguing that Denver acting alone — while surrounding municipalities continued to allow sales of flavored products — would not keep tobacco out of the hands of kids. His successor, Mike Johnston, has affirmed his support for the flavor ban if it passes. A public hearing is possible later this month before the full body votes on the measure.

Focus also turned to talks of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Lebanon, which pushed oil prices lower, dragging the Energy index lower. President-elect Donald Trump ended weeks of speculation when he named his choice late on Friday, with some investment strategists saying Bessent could take measures to restrain further government borrowing, even as he follows through on fiscal and trade campaign pledges. The nomination of Bessent has eased some of the fiscal concerns that had pushed bond yields higher ahead of the elections about possible new tariffs. "This time, focus is on tariff policy – especially now that the choice of Scott Bessent as Treasury secretary seems to have allayed major fiscal concerns," said James Reilly, senior market economist at market desk Capital Economics. According to preliminary data, the S&P 500 gained 17.81 points, or 0.30%, to end at 5,987.15 points, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 51.50 points, or 0.27%, to 19,055.15. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 439.02 points, or 0.99%, to 44,735.53. The small-cap index hit an all-time high, eclipsing the record level it touched three years ago, as Treasury yields dropped sharply, with the 30-year bond leading the yield declines across the board. "Areas that were lagging for most of this year are beginning to outperform, such as the small-cap and the mid-cap stocks, not just due to Trump, but also due to the Federal Reserve cutting rates," said Adam Sarhan, chief executive of 50 Park Investments in New York. Expectations that Trump, along with a Republican Congress, can make good on his promise of business-friendly policies have been the latest tailwinds for small-cap companies. They have been in the spotlight since the U.S. Federal Reserve commenced its monetary policy easing cycle in September. Lower yields helped the rate-sensitive Real Estate sector rise, while the Housing index also surged. Barclays raised its full-year 2025 forecast for the S&P 500, while Deutsche Bank set its target at 7,000 points by the end of 2025. Concerns remain, however, that inflationary pressures could spike and slow the pace of the Fed's policy easing. Investors have recently swung between expectations of a pause versus a further cut in interest rates at the Fed's December meeting. The CME Group's FedWatch Tool shows a 56.2% probability the central bank will deliver another 25 basis-point cut. Consumer Discretionary stocks led sectoral gains, aided by Amazon.com's rise. The Personal Consumption Expenditure report, the central bank's preferred inflation gauge, will be on investors' radar later this week, which includes the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. Macy's fell sharply after the department-store operator delayed the publication of its third-quarter results due to an accounting issue.

B.C. landowners who have at least 100 trees on their property can apply to a Coquitlam-based conservation fund for money to save them. The Tree Legacy Society is reaching out with cash to preserve the privately owned trees and stop them from being cut or commercial harvested. Successful candidates are eligible to receive $1 per tree per year, for up to $25,000, when they ink an agreement of 15 years or more. Designed to combat climate change and to preserve forests for future generations, the society was founded last November by Marta Alcalde Gea, who emigrated from Spain to B.C. five years ago. “From the heat dome that claimed over 600 lives in Metro Vancouver a few years ago to the unprecedented tragedy that is striking Valencia — my hometown — where floods destroyed homes and claimed over 200 lives, it is frightening to witness the devastating effects of climate change around the world,” she said in a news release. “But beyond the grief, I feel an unwavering responsibility to act. Establishing a non-profit organization here in Coquitlam is my way of launching an innovative model of conservation that can ripple from our community to the entire world.” The society’s financial incentives to large landowners are part of a pilot project started by Gea who has more than a dozen years in environmental initiatives, law, technology and economics and has served in key roles in the European Parliament and with international foundations, according to the society’s website.

Goalkeeper Jack Hamilton ended 11 months of Premiership exile by putting the reins on a Celtic Park rampage. Eight days on, the former Hearts keeper is determined to mark his second game back in top-flight action by shutting down Rangers. The double Old Firm baptism in Ross County colours is hardly likely to faze the experienced 30-year-old who described his timely entrance in the east end of Glasgow as “just another game”. Brendan Rodgers’ side was destroying the Dingwall team at 5-0 up when Ross Laidlaw’s knee injury brought Hamilton’s first league action since starring for Livingston in a 2-1 defeat to Hearts on January 2 this year. The former Scotland youth and under 21 international then pulled off a string of fine saves to prevent the hammering turning into an embarrassing hiding. A summer signing by ex-Tynecastle team-mate Don Cowie, Hamilton has had to be patient, but is relishing his chance of a run in the team despite obvious concern for Laidlaw. He said: “Coming on just before half-time, Celtic were flying - they were really excellent - but at the end of the day it’s just a game of football. “I’ve done it plenty of times before and it was just great to get on and play my part in the second half. “I was actually a bit unwell in the build-up to the game and missed Thursday and Friday, but wanted to put myself forward for the bench. “I always mentally prepare so that, in the unlikely scenario you need to come on, you are ready. “I’ve always done that, every time I’ve been on the bench. “Unfortunately for Ross, he hurt his knee. I don’t know the extent of that, but I was called upon and it was good to get minutes on the park. “These are tough games to kick-start my County career with, but they are games you want to play in. As I say, it is just a game of football and I’ve done it many times before.” While Hamilton is praying Laidlaw’s knee problem can be resolved quickly, he is naturally relishing the opportunity it gives him. He stressed: “That’s why I came here. I want to play football and take part in as many games as possible. “It is never a good circumstance when a team-mate is injured and I hope Ross’s injury is not as bad as it first seemed. “But it will be good to, hopefully, get a run of games in the team and kick on. “Yes, I’ve had to be patient, but you just need to be able to deal with it as a goalie as it comes with the territory, especially when Ross has started the season so well. “You just keep the head down, work hard and try to push each other every day in training. “Ross and I have been good at that, along with the goalkeeping coach and the two young lads here as well. “We’ve got a really good group who try to help each other. It is a bit of competition, but what matters is results for the team.” It could be said County’s chances of repeating the fine 3-2 victory they savoured against Rangers at home last April will hinge on what Ibrox side turns up. Will it be the one that hammered Nice and Kilmarnock in recent matches or the one that stumbled to a 1-1 home draw with Dundee United? Hamilton said: “I think they will come up here desperate to win. They are a top side. It will be a really tough game for us. “They are used to the heavy schedule, given they play so many games in Europe. It is routine for them and they’re used to the travelling. “For us, it is about preparing properly and giving ourselves the best possible chance to compete - and enjoy the game as well. “Our home form has been excellent, even last season. The lads have done really well here and always seem to enjoy stepping out with that home crowd behind them. “That backing will be good for us on the day.” Hamilton had a big decision to make before relocating to the Highlands in the summer, but the presence of Cowie - his former Hearts cohort - in the manager’s job helped massively. Hamilton added: “When he first came to Hearts, I was a bit younger and he was always one of the ones you looked up to. “He was a model pro and a great guy as well. “To get the opportunity to come and play for him was a no-brainer for me and I was delighted to come here. “He was a top player who played at the top level, and he is a top manager as well. “He is the kind of guy you want to play for.”
