The city of Porto was the scene of two demonstrations: an anti-immigration demo organised by the far-right Chega party and an anti-fascist protest organised by 28 social organisations. The protests took place on neighbouring streets, but never crossed paths. Two protests by opposing factions brought hundreds of people on the streets of Porto on Saturday. One was against illegal immigration and insecurity, while the other against fascism and racism. The first, organised by far-right party Chega, gathered hundreds of people who marched down the streets to Avenida dos Aliados, the city's main events square, on what its leader André Ventura again called a "historic day". Security around Ventura was high. "Whether they're white, yellow, black or blue, we know what they're coming for," said Ventura. "We're not prepared to be invaded," he added in his speech to hundreds of people waving national flags and placards against uncontrolled immigration, which they consider to be a cause of street crime. The Chega leader demanded "more security and control of immigration in a country where immigrants have increased by 95 per cent in the last two years," he said speaking to the press. Speaking to local media during the protest, Ventura said "Portugal needs immigrants who come here to work, we don't need them coming here to commit crimes. Portugal, like all decent countries, has to control its borders, and so far it hasn't." Some Chega supporters wore "MAGA" (Make America Great Again) hats, similar to those seen in US President-elect Donald Trump's campaign rallies. Channelling similar rhetoric to Trump, Ventura said: "The next government, which I hope to lead, will tell everyone who is here and commits crimes that they will get a Christmas present, they will get a ticket back to their country of origin and they will pay for that ticket... You can't eat cats, dogs or lizards. This is our country... We are in charge here," he told his supporters. According to a member of the Chega party, around 900 people took part in the demonstration in Porto. Many travelled by bus from Lisbon, Setúbal, Faro, Leiria, Braga and Vila Real, according to Lusa news agency. The second demonstration, which was in response to the one organised by Chega, was organised by 28 social organisation which brought together feminist, anti-fascist, anti-racist and pro-LGBTQ+ movements to support housing for immigrants and their regularisation. The counter-demonstration took place in Campo 24 de Agosto, a square not far from the Chega protest. Around 700 people loudly chanted against racism and anti-fascism. "No more hate speech," one protester told the SIC television channel. The protesters demanded that immigrants have the right to regularisation, and argue that they are not the cause of insecurity in Portuguese society. "It's not immigrants who make us afraid on the street," the same protester added added. "Portugal is a country of immigrants and is therefore for everyone - we need them and they need us. The world has no borders," another protester told state television channel RTP. The past year saw a 33% rise in the number of foreigners living in Portugal, where more than one million immigrants are living legally in the country, according to a report published by the government in June.None
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks closed higher on Wall Street, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average to another all-time high. The Dow added 1% Monday to the record it set on Friday. The S&P 500 rose 0.3%, while the Nasdaq composite rose 0.3%. Treasury yields eased in the bond market after President-elect Donald Trump said he wants Scott Bessent, a hedge fund manager, to be his Treasury Secretary. Smaller companies can feel a big boost from easier borrowing costs, and the Russell 2000 index of small stocks jumped 1.5%, closing just shy of the record high it set three years ago. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street is set to break more records Monday as U.S. stocks rise to add to last week’s gains. The S&P 500 was 0.2% higher, as of 3 p.m. Eastern time, and sitting just below its all-time high set two weeks ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 397 points, or 0.9%, to its own record set on Friday, while the Nasdaq composite was 0.1% higher. Treasury yields also eased in the bond market amid what some analysts called a “Bessent bounce” after President-elect Donald Trump said he wants Scott Bessent , a hedge fund manager, to be his Treasury Secretary. Bessent has argued for reducing the U.S. government’s deficit, which is how much more it spends than it takes in through tax and other revenue. Such an approach could soothe worries on Wall Street that Trump’s policies may lead to a much bigger deficit, which in turn would put upward pressure on Treasury yields. After climbing above 4.44% immediately after Trump’s election, the yield on the 10-year Treasury fell back to 4.26% Monday and down from 4.41% late Friday. That’s a notable move, and lower yields help make it cheaper for all kinds of companies and households to borrow money. They also give a boost to prices for stocks and other investments. That helped stocks of smaller companies lead the way, and the Russell 2000 index of smaller stocks jumped 2%. It’s set to top its all-time high, which was set three years ago. Smaller companies can feel bigger boosts from lower borrowing costs because of the need of many to borrow to grow. The two-year Treasury yield, which more closely tracks the market’s expectations for what the Federal Reserve will do with overnight interest rates, also eased sharply. The Fed began cutting its main interest rate just a couple months ago from a two-decade high, hoping to keep the job market humming after bringing high inflation nearly all the way down to its 2% target. But immediately after Trump’s victory, traders had reduced bets for how many cuts the Fed may deliver next year. They were worried Trump's preference for lower tax rates and higher spending on the border would balloon the national debt. . A report coming on Wednesday could influence how much the Fed may cut rates. Economists expect it to show that an underlying inflation trend the Fed prefers to use accelerated to 2.8% last month from 2.7% in September. Higher inflation would make the Fed more reluctant to cut rates as deeply or as quickly as it would otherwise. Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle expects that to slow by the end of next year to 2.4%, but he said inflation would be even lower if not for expected tariff increases on imports from China and autos favored by Trump. In the stock market, Bath & Body Works jumped 19.1% after delivering stronger profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected. The seller of personal care products and home fragrances also raised its financial forecasts for the full year, even though it still sees a “volatile retail environment” and a shorter holiday shopping season this year. Much focus has been on how resilient U.S. shoppers can remain, given high prices across the economy and still-high interest rates. Last week, two major retailers sent mixed messages. Target tumbled after giving a dour forecast for the holiday shopping season. It followed Walmart , which gave a much more encouraging outlook. Another big retailer, Macy’s, said Monday its sales for the latest quarter were in line with its expectations, but it will delay the release of its full financial results. It found a single employee had intentionally hid up to $154 million in delivery expenses, and it needs more time to complete its investigation. Macy’s stock fell 2.9%. Among the market's leaders were several companies related to the housing industry. Monday's drop in Treasury yields could translate into easier mortgage rates, which could spur activity for housing. Builders FirstSource, a supplier or building materials, rose 6.2%. Homebuilders, D.R. Horton, PulteGroup and Lennar all rose at least 5.8%. In stock markets abroad, indexes moved modestly across much of Europe after finishing mixed in Asia. In the crypto market, bitcoin was trading around $96,800 after threatening to hit $100,000 late last week for the first time. AP Business Writer Elaine Kurtenbach contributed.
A melee broke out at midfield of Ohio Stadium after Michigan upset No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday. After the Wolverines' fourth straight win in the series, players converged at the block "O" to plant its flag. The Ohio State players were in the south end zone singing their alma mater in front of the student section. When the Buckeyes saw the Wolverines' flag, they rushed toward the 50-yard line. Social media posts showed Michigan offensive lineman Raheem Anderson carrying the flag on a long pole to midfield, where the Wolverines were met by dozens of Ohio State players and fights broke out. Buckeyes defensive end Jack Sawyer was seen ripping the flag off the pole and taking the flag as he scuffled with several people trying to recover the flag. A statement from the Ohio State Police Department read: "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 and will continue to investigate." Michigan running back Kalel Mullings on FOX said: "For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game. It's bad for the sport, bad for college football. At the end of the day, some people got to learn how to lose, man. "You can't be fighting and stuff just because you lost the game. We had 60 minutes and four quarters to do all that fighting. Now people want to talk and fight. That's wrong. It's bad for the game. Classless, in my opinion. People got to be better." Once order was restored, officers cordoned the 50-yard line, using bicycles as barriers. Ohio State coach Ryan Day in his postgame press conference said he wasn't sure what happened. "I don't know all the details of it. But I know that these guys are looking to put a flag on our field and our guys weren't going to let that happen," he said. "I'll find out exactly what happened, but this is our field and certainly we're embarrassed at the fact we lost the game, but there's some prideful guys on our team that weren't just going to let that happen." The Big Ten has not yet released a statement on the incident. --Field Level MediaCOLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State coach Ryan Day attempted to offer an explanation for the post-game fight at Ohio Stadium. What happened? Michigan players tried to plant an "M" flag on the "Block O" after a stunning 13-10 victory against No. 2 Ohio State on Saturday. Several Buckeyes left the post-game tradition of singing "Carmen Ohio" to quite literally meet the Wolverines at midfield. Per the Ohio State Police, "multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan used pepper spray." 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. "I don't know all the details of it, but I know these guys were looking to put a flag on our field and our guys were not going to let that happen," Day said. "We're embarrassed of the fact we lost, but there are some prideful guys on our team that weren't going to let that happen." The ugly scene marred the latest upset that will be etched into The Game rivalry lore, but it is a distraction from the main talking point. Michigan planted the same flag at Ohio Stadium two years after a 45-23 victory on Nov. 26, 2022, but that was a top-five team celebrating its first win in The Shoe since 2000. This was without question the Buckeyes' most embarrassing loss to the Wolverines over the last four years. The post-game fight is a distraction from the newly posed psychological test for Ohio State (10-2, 7-2), which lost the most important game of the season and now has to prepare for a run in the first 12-team College Football Playoff. What Ryan Day said after loss to Michigan Day – now 1-4 vs. Michigan – was left without an answer to what comes next after a loss in an all-in game against the Wolverines. Maybe that is because he simply does not have an answer for Michigan. "I don't know," Day said. "We're fresh off The Game. I don't really have the answer to that. We're very disappointed. Never thought this would happen right here." To be fair, few people did. The Buckeyes were three-score favorites. Michigan quarterback Davis Warren was 9 of 16 for 62 yards and two second-half interceptions to Ohio State standouts Caleb Downs and Jack Sawyer. That line alone would indicate a Buckeyes' win. Who had a 10-10 game at half? The Wolverines shutting out Ohio State in the second half? An upset that resembled the 14-9 shocker on Nov. 23, 1996 that was part of the lineage of John Cooper losses to inferior Michigan teams? And we're talking about planting a flag at midfield? What about the game plan? Ohio State continued to try to hammer at a Michigan run defense that featured future first-round picks Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant. Day seems hyper-obsessed with showing how tough the Buckeyes are in these big-game environments, especially against Notre Dame and Michigan. Ohio State had 26 carries for 77 yards. It was an imperfect balance with Will Howard – who was 19 of 33 for 175 yards, one TD and two costly interceptions. Jayden Fielding missed two field goals. "When we end up throwing 33 times out of 59 — more passes than runs — you can't just abandon the run.," Day said. "You have to be able to control the ball." "The turnovers, the rushing yards, you miss opportunities like those two field goals, yeah, it's going to cost you a game like this," he said. "Every yard matters. Every point matters." Michigan (7-5, 5-4) chipped away three-yards-at-a-time in 20-degree temperatures with Kalel Mulllings, who had 32 carries for 116 yards and a touchdown. He helped set up the game-winning field goal with a 27-yard run on third-and-6. Then, Mullings had some choice words for the Buckeyes afterward in a post-game interview with Fox's Jenny Taft. "At the end of the day they have to learn how to lose, man,” Mullings said. “We had 60 minutes, four quarters to do all that fighting. Now people want to talk and fight. That's bad for the game. Classless, in my opinion." This is an easy trap for Ohio State to fall into in order to find some explanation – any explanation – for the inability to take back control of a rivalry the Buckeyes have dominated for most of the 21st century. Ohio State is 17-7 against Michigan since 2000, but there was a fall-back each of the last three years. You cannot blame players having the flu, former Michigan assistant Connor Stalions stealing signs, a late interception by former Ohio State quarterback Kyle McCord or a post-game brawl. Michigan won the game. They planted a figurative flag at this point that the Buckeyes have not been able to tear down. In the end, Day will take the blame, and he accepted that afterward. "Everybody wants to win this game in the worst way, and nobody wants to win it more than we do," Day said. "It's our No. 1 goal every year. When you don't do that, that's disappointment and frustration." What's next for Ohio State? Now the challenge. Ohio State still is going to the College Football Playoff. The Big Ten championship is gone, but the chance to host a first-round home game is in the cards. The Buckeyes are good enough to win a national championship – but that will depend on the psyche of the team and the ability to block out the highly-toxic noise in Columbus about the failures against Michigan. This was supposed to be the year. The transfer portal spree that landed Howard, Quinshon Judkins and Caleb Downs. The hiring of UCLA coach Chip Kelly as the new offensive coordinator. A barely bowl-eligible Michigan team? This should not have happened. That game matters more than anything else, and we are about to find out just how much when Ohio State returns to the field. Texas went to the playoff without beating Oklahoma last year. But this is Ohio State-Michigan, and with all apologies to the Red River Rivalry, this one means a lot more. How else could you explain Howard and Cody Simon apologizing to the media afterward for the loss. Simon fought back tears. "I don't really know what it's going to look like, but this hurts," Simon said. "We have to come together as a team." Howard also fought back tears and it was short in his response. He had no comment about the post-game fight. He was one of the few who at least addressed what is next. He will start thinking about that Sunday. "We're a two-loss team, we're going to make the playoff and we're going to make a run, but this one hurts," Howard said. "It hurts." When asked a variation of the question and doubled down. "I just said we're going to regroup, go into the playoffs and make a run," Howard said. Start talking about that instead of planting a flag. The sooner the better.Chuck Woolery, smooth-talking game show host of 'Love Connection' and 'Scrabble,' dies at 83

E very time I put on a skirt, I’m suddenly eight years old again. I’m watching the Nutcracker , my parents having clothed me and my sisters in itchy, matching outfits. Immediately, I’m confronted by a visceral desire to wear trousers. This feeling is not just a shift in personal style, but something more pertinent to the current political climate – so why is it that Gen Z/millennials like me (and the fashion world as a whole) has swayed towards genderless or gender neutral clothing? I don’t feel the need to dress in alignment with men’s expectations of women anymore. I’ve even recently thrown out all of my makeup! But why am I doing it? What does it all mean? I could, in part, chalk this up to my newfound comfort in pursuing more queer versions of expression – that’s certainly one reason for it. But, overwhelmingly, I’ve realised this knee-jerk reaction to skirts and dresses is because they subject me to the male gaze – and I’m just not comfortable with that anymore. Unsurprisingly, it’s worked: the more I’ve strayed from feminine presentation, the less men try to talk to me. Except on Halloween: on that night, I was dressed as Lucky Blue Smith and some guy at the bar still tried his luck – even after I pointed to myself and said, “Me?! Have you seen what I look like?” Some men, it seems, simply don’t take a hint. It’s felt strangely bold – transgressive, even – to dress in “boy clothes ” and embrace alternative haircuts. The upside is: after a lifetime of being chatted up at parties or in bars, I don’t miss it. Since I’ve been dressing for myself – and less for the beauty ideals put on women – I’ve grown used to a lack of male attention. And I like it. It helps that dressing androgynously and embracing a non-binary aesthetic has not only become more accessible, it’s more socially appreciated – even trendy. What originally skated on the edge of the mainstream in the 2010s has now become a widespread form of gender expression. And to me, as a writer who attended fashion weeks at New York, Milan and Paris this yea r , it is clear this is the direction fashion is headed, too. The Berliner noted in a recent Market Research Intellect report there’s to be a projected increase of 10.82 per cent in the unisex fashion market by 2031. People are after a more genderless or unisex appearance via what they wear. It’s not just a phase – it’s a movement. And many big brands are leading the way into more unisex, genderless fashion lines and styling choices. I experienced this first hand while attending the Le Damier de Louis Vuitton Fine Jewellry event at Paris Fashion Week. I chatted briefly with one of the brand representatives and learned that the masion has intentionally gone a unisex route with their latest collection. They’ve catered to more gender-inclusive shapes and designs, in line with fashion’s shifting trajectory. Why, though? Social media trends must play a role – as we see more and more people from a range of gender identities dressing in clothing regardless of who it’s been marketed to. The fast-paced world of Instagram and TikTok creates a consistent reimagination of the ways that certain clothing items are meant to be worn (for example: the influx of people integrating dresses and skirts over trousers or shorts). I witnessed this at NYFW when I attended the Sam Finger show and saw a variety of styling choices and unexpected ways of showcasing the garments via presentation format, as opposed to a runway event. It’s worth considering all of this in relation to the hemline index – which is a theory that suggests skirt length rises and falls with stock values (though there is not much proof of this theory actually bearing much weight on modern society). Could it be that we’re in clothing gender “crisis” because of the cost of living? I’d argue no – because while there is no doubt that we’re in a time of austerity, this doesn’t accurately account for the way that clothing has become more androgynous over time. What is really going on for my generation is a widespread social shift away from the notion that women’s appearance exists exclusively in tandem with male attention – as per the 4B movement; or protests against the “your body, my choice” brigade in light of the recent US election. Fashion is just one of the ways young women like me are actively decentering men from our lives. This is why I’ve take a personal step away from more classically-feminine clothing – and would urge you to try it, too. I just don’t feel at home in these garments anymore – or comfortable with what they represent.Dejounte Murray is rejoining the Pelicans vs. Toronto and drawing inspiration from his mother
