Federal appeals court upholds law requiring sale or ban of TikTok in the US A federal appeals court panel on Friday unanimously upheld a law that could lead to a ban on TikTok in a few short months, handing a resounding defeat to the popular social media platform as it fights for its survival in the U.S. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the law - which requires TikTok to break ties with its China-based parent company ByteDance or be banned by mid-January — is constitutional, rebuffing TikTok’s challenge that the statute ran afoul of the First Amendment and unfairly targeted the platform. TikTok and ByteDance — another plaintiff in the lawsuit — are expected to appeal to the Supreme Court. Police believe the gunman who killed UnitedHealthcare's CEO quickly left NYC on a bus after shooting NEW YORK (AP) — Police officials say the gunman who killed the CEO of the largest U.S. health insurer likely left New York City on a bus soon after fleeing the scene on a bicycle and hopping in a cab. Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny says video of the gunman fleeing Wednesday’s shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson showed him riding through Central Park and later taking a taxi to a bus terminal, directly across from New Jersey. Investigators also believe the shooter left his backpack in Central Park and are searching for it. Police have video of the man entering the bus station but no video of him exiting. Trump offers a public show of support for Pete Hegseth, his embattled nominee to lead the Pentagon WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump is offering a public show of support for Pete Hegseth, his embattled choice to lead the Pentagon. Hegseth's ability to win confirmation by the Senate is wavering as he faces questions over allegations of excessive drinking, sexual assault and his views on women in combat. Trump posted on social media that Hegseth is a winner “and there is nothing that can be done to change that.” Hegseth spent much of the week on Capitol Hill trying to salvage his Cabinet nomination and reassure Republican senators that he is fit to lead the Pentagon. One critical senator, Republican Joni Ernst, said Friday that Hegseth deserves a “fair hearing.” IAEA chief: Iran is poised to 'quite dramatically' increase stockpile of near weapons-grade uranium MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — Iran is poised to “quite dramatically” increase its stockpile of near weapons-grade uranium. That's according to comments by the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency on Friday. Rafael Mariano Grossi spoke in Bahrain, on the sidelines of the International Institute of Strategic Studies’ Manama Dialogue. He says Iran had begun preparing advanced centrifuge cascades to spin at nuclear facilities to increase its supply of 60% enriched uranium. That kind of material is a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%. Grossi says this is “very concerning." Iran did not immediately acknowledge the preparations, which Grossi said had begun on Friday. Inspectors hope to examine what’s going on. US added a strong 227,000 jobs in November in bounce-back from October slowdown WASHINGTON (AP) — America’s job market rebounded in November, adding 227,000 workers in a solid recovery from the previous month, when the effects of strikes and hurricanes had sharply diminished employers’ payrolls. Last month’s hiring growth was up considerably from a meager gain of 36,000 jobs in October. The government also revised up its estimate of job growth in September and October by a combined 56,000. Friday’s report also showed that the unemployment rate ticked up from 4.1% in October to a still-low 4.2%. The November data provided the latest evidence that the U.S. job market remains durable even though it has lost significant momentum from the 2021-2023 hiring boom, when the economy was rebounding from the pandemic recession. Trump taps forceful ally of hard-line immigration policies to head Customs and Border Protection WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump's immigration and border team is filling out. Trump has announced a former Border Patrol chief, Rodney Scott, to head the Customs and Border Protection agency. Scott is a career Border Patrol agent who rose to head the agency during Trump's first term. He's been a vocal supporter of tougher enforcement measures. At CBP he'll head a department of roughly 60,000 employees responsible for protecting the country’s borders while also facilitating trade and travel. Trump also said he’d nominate Caleb Vitello as acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency that, among other things, arrests migrants in the U.S. illegally. Vitello is a career ICE official with more than 23 years in the agency. Romania's top court annuls first round of presidential vote won by far-right candidate BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — A top Romanian court has annulled the first round of the country’s presidential election, days after declassified intelligence alleged Russia ran a coordinated online campaign to promote the far-right outsider who won the first round. Friday's unprecedented and final decision by the Constitutional Court came after President Klaus Iohannis declassified intelligence on Wednesday that alleged Russia ran a sprawling campaign comprising thousands of social media accounts to promote Calin Georgescu across platforms like TikTok and Telegram. Despite being a huge outsider who declared zero campaign spending, Georgescu emerged as the frontrunner on Nov. 24. He was due to face reformist Elena Lasconi of the Save Romania Union party in a runoff on Sunday. Crews recover the body of a woman from a Pennsylvania sinkhole after a 4-day search Police say the remains of a woman who fell into a sinkhole have been recovered four days after she went missing while searching for her cat. Trooper Steve Limani said Friday that the body of 64-year-old Elizabeth Pollard was sent to the Westmoreland County Coroner’s Office for an autopsy. Pollard disappeared while looking for her cat on Monday evening, and authorities found her car close to what is thought to be a newly opened sinkhole above a long abandoned coal mine a few hours later. The sinkhole is in the village of Marguerite, about 40 miles east of Pittsburgh. Jury will consider lesser charge in NYC subway chokehold case, judge dismisses manslaughter charge NEW YORK (AP) — The judge overseeing the trial of a man accused of using a deadly chokehold on an unruly subway passenger has dismissed the top charge in the case at the request of prosecutors, allowing the jury to consider a lesser count after the panel indicated it was deadlocked on whether Daniel Penny was guilty of manslaughter. The judge’s decision on Friday came hours after Manhattan jurors sent him a note saying they were unable to agree on a manslaughter verdict. Penny is facing charges of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely, who Penny held in a chokehold for about six minutes on a New York City subway in 2023. Vance tells residents in hurricane-stricken North Carolina that they haven't been forgotten FAIRVIEW, N.C. (AP) — Vice President-elect JD Vance is surveying hurricane damage in western North Carolina in one of his first public appearances since the November election. Vance and his wife, Usha, visited the Fairview Volunteer Fire Department, which was flooded with 4 to 6 inches of water in the storm. They heard that roughly a dozen people contracted walking pneumonia while responding to the hurricane's destruction and that power outages prevented some first responders from talking with their families. Vance said, “My simple message to the people of Appalachia is that we haven’t forgotten you — we love you.” Vance has largely stayed out of the public eye since the election aside from shepherding Trump’s Cabinet nominees around Capitol Hill.None
Extortionists return to markets, roads, footpaths plaguing businesses in city
The Sweden midfielder hailed Saturday’s 4-0 thrashing of the champions as the best game of his career. The 24-year-old delivered an outstanding performance as Spurs shattered the champions’ 52-game unbeaten home run, helping start the rout with a superb cross for James Maddison’s opening goal. Kulusevski said: “I believed (we would win) this because in the past years, we’ve come here and played really well. “So this is the game I look forward to most in the year and, once again, it happened – glory to God. “I’d say it’s the best result ever in my career. It’s a big night for the whole club, for the coach, for the players. “Because City have a lot of the ball sometimes, we can rest when we defend. There’s also so much space up there, we play one against one and then it’s always dangerous because we have a lot of quality. “It’s always great to play great teams because they always want to play football. When you play lower teams, sometimes it’s not. There’s not much football played because they are a lot of fouls, a lot of injuries and it’s slow going.” Maddison stole the show with two goals in quick succession in the first half while Pedro Porro and Brennan Johnson later got on the scoresheet. Kulu-chef-ski cooked 👨🍳 📊 @KumhoTyreUK pic.twitter.com/CsrTh5oUgn — Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) November 24, 2024 Yet Kulusevski’s performance was also eye-catching and the player himself believes there is plenty more to come from him. Asked if his form made him feel “unstoppable”, Kulusevski said: “I feel like that. I feel very good and I’m trying to keep this way. I’m very happy, I’m trying to improve. “I started the season good but there is over half of the season left and I hope I can do much better. “I think I have something that no other player has. With my engine, with my heart – I don’t get tired – I feel like I can do a lot still in my career.” Spurs have won more matches against Pep Guardiola's Man City than any other side 👀 pic.twitter.com/BHLZqde9sP — Premier League (@premierleague) November 23, 2024 Tottenham’s scintillating performance marked a spectacular return to form after their dismal loss to Ipswich in their previous Premier League outing. Kulusevski said: “We have to be much more consistent. It’s not a turning point. We just have to be better in other games. “This game suited us perfectly but we have a lot of improvement to make in the other games.”Meet Jalen Redmond, the undrafted free agent carving out a niche with the VikingsA few things have changed since Troy won those back-to-back Class AA state titles in 2016 and 2017 at the Carrier Dome. Burns is now the head coach at Albany’s Christian Brothers Academy, and has led the Brothers to their first state title appearance in program history. “It’s not really a surprise to us. We work hard 12 months out of the year to get to this position,” CBA wide receiver Lucius Anderson said of the opportunity to play for a state title. “We’re going to continue to work hard to make sure that our dream is successful.” While CBA has won each of the last four Section 2 Class AA, it has come up short in the state playoffs of reaching the dome, until this year. Burns and his squad are scheduled to take on Syracuse’s Christian Brothers Academy, in a battle of the Brothers for the AA state title on Saturday at 6 p.m. “It’s the buy-in of the kids. The coaching staff is one thing, and I have a tremendous staff that has really committed themselves 12 months out of the year, but if the kids don’t commit or buy-in to the message you’re giving then it really doesn’t matter,” Burns said of his team this year. “The seniors who have been here since Day 1 with me have worked their tails off all year round.” Saturday will actually mark the second time this season that the two CBA programs have met. Albany made the trip out to Syracuse for a scrimmage on Aug. 31. Burns, who attended SUNY Brockport with CBA Syracuse head coach Casey Brown, hoped their scrimmage wouldn’t be the only time they saw each other this season. “Their head coach and I went to college together,” Burns said of Brown. “It was like, hopefully we’ll see each other 14 weeks down the road, and it ended up happening.” In recent years, CBA Syracuse has become one of the dominant football powers in the state, winning the Class A title in 2021, and the Class AA title last season. It became apparent to Burns over the past few seasons that if his squad made it to Syracuse, it could be a CBA vs. CBA game “After the last couple years, they had it rolling, so that was the expectation,” Burns said. “We thought we could do it last year, or even the year before, but we came up short and they were able to do it. It’s kind of cool that it’s happening now.” CBA Albany enters Saturday’s matchup with a 13-0 overall record, having defeated Section 4’s Corning-Painted Post 56-7 in the semifinals last week. It won a regional playoff game over Section 1’s North Rockland 28.7 It began its playoff run with a Section 2 semifinal win over Saratoga Springs, 27-7. Then it defeated Shaker 28-21 to win the area title, in what was the Brothers closest game of the season. “We’ve been thinking about this for a while,” CBA linebacker Jake Marra said of Saturday’s game. “The past two years we’ve gotten stuck at the same point, and it hurts, especially knowing the seniors that weren’t able to make it this far. Me being on all of those teams, this is definitely special.” CBA Syracuse also enters Saturday with a 13-0 record, having defeated Section 5’s Aquinas Institute 21-14 in the state semifinals. It took down Section 4’s Elmira/Southside 63-12 in the regional round. “Probably their physicality and their size. They’re a lot bigger than us up front and we’re going to have to match it,” Burns said of the biggest challenge CBA Syracuse presents. “I think even those 20 plays we had against them in the beginning of the year will benefit us, because we understand the level of physicality we’re going to have to play with.” “We’ve had a great week of preparation,” Marra added. “They have some dudes on their team, but we have some dudes too. It’s going to be a dog fight at the end of the night, and hopefully we come out on top.” On paper, it is a game of two CBAs battling for a state title. One program is the defending champions, who have been there and done it. The other is a group looking to make program history. “I think it’s going to be about who can play hard for longer, and who wants it more. I think that we want it more,” Anderson said of his expectations for the game. “It’s about having that underdog mentality, not having been here in school history. We’re trying to make history and to create a legacy.” Anderson, one of Section 2’s top overall players, missed CBA’s semifinal game with a hand injury. However, he was cleared to return to action for the state championship. “God made sure that I was healed and ready to go,” Anderson said. “He healed me faster than my body should heal, and I’m just grateful to be out here today.” While there are a lot of added elements to this game, Marra has been reminding his teammates that their jobs are still the same. “I heard earlier in the week people calling it the ‘Holy Wars.’ That made me laugh a little bit. We’re ready to rock and roll,” Marra said. “I keep telling the guys it’s just another game, it’s just for the state title. We just have to go play our game.” “He’s been a captain for two years, he’s a leader and he’s got one more game to go,” Burns said of Marra. “He insists to me that we’re going to get it done, and I trust him.”
Uber Stock: The Game-Changer You Didn’t Know You Needed. Invest Like a Pro GamerMyers Industries director Lori Lutey buys $12,150 in stockAMMAN — Representing the conference chair, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Saleh Kharabsheh, Secretary-General Amani Azzam on Wednesday inaugurated the ministerial meeting on the second day of the Energy Charter Treaty Conference in Brussels. Addressing delegates from 30 member states and observers, Azzam emphasised the urgency of advancing a sustainable energy future, according to an Energy Ministry statement. She also highlighted the pivotal role of the modernised Energy Charter Treaty in protecting investments and offering crucial guarantees to investors in clean energy technologies. Azzam called for leveraging the treaty to create a stable and predictable investment climate that fosters green growth. She also showcased Jordan’s impressive renewable energy milestones, noting that contributions from solar and wind energy rose from less than 1 per cent in 2014 to nearly 27 per cent in 2024, with plans to surpass 30 per cent by 2030. The growth is supported by advancements in electricity storage technologies, including a hydroelectric storage project designed to optimise renewable energy management, she added. Highlighting Jordan’s green hydrogen ambitions, Azzam announced plans to produce up to 0.6 million tonnes annually by 2030, scaling up to 3.4 million tonnes by 2050. She also outlined efforts to enhance electric transport infrastructure and expand regional power connectivity to establish a sustainable and efficient energy system. Azzam stressed the importance of regional and international cooperation in addressing climate change, citing COP29’s outcomes, which underscored the need for accelerated transitions to sustainable energy systems. The conference’s second day featured the release of the 2024 Energy Investment Risk Assessment Report, the Energy Charter Awards ceremony, and a session of the Energy Charter Industry Advisory Committee. Discussions focused on reducing investment risks in clean energy technologies, protecting investments under the updated treaty, and resolving energy transition disputes within its framework.
Originally appeared on E! Online Rihanna knows A$AP Rocky is a fashion killa. Philadelphia news 24/7: Watch NBC10 free wherever you are The "Needed Me" singer shared that she's especially proud of the rapper — with whom she shares sons RZA, 2, and Riot, 16 months — when it comes to his impact on style. "He’s always influenced the fashion game," Rihanna told reporters at the 38th Annual Footwear News Achievement Awards Dec. 4. "He’s always had a unique sense of style that I think designers have honed in on and actually use as inspiration for collections." And while she's taken note of his taste-making skills, the Fenty Beauty founder, 36, feels like Rocky has "never gotten the amount of credit that he deserves."

NoneDame Esther Rantzen says the people have spoken and MPs must finally change the "cruel, messy, criminal law", after four polls showed overwhelming public support for assisted dying. One commissioned by the Express found 68% backed the key principles of the Bill that will face a landmark vote in the Commons on Friday, while just 11% opposed it. A YouGov survey put support even higher at 73%, while think tank More in Common found 65% were in favour. And over-60s campaign group Silver Voices found 61% of its members supported giving terminally ill people greater choice at the end of life. Dame Esther, who has stage four lung cancer, said: “Once again the people have spoken. Let’s hope this time someone is listening. “We ‘oldies’ understand that even with the best palliative care, suffering can make life unbearable, not just for terminally ill patients but for those who have to witness their pain but cannot assist them due to our current cruel, messy criminal law.” Savanta surveyed 2,288 adults for the Express this month and asked to what extent they would support or oppose legalising assisted dying for terminally ill people with less than six months to live. The poll set out the requirements in Labour MP Kim Leadbeater’s Bill , including that two doctors and a High Court judge must ensure a patient meets all the criteria and safeguards. Some 68% of those questioned supported the proposed law change, including 40% “strongly”. Just 11% were opposed, 8% said they did not know and 13% were neutral. People who had personally witnessed someone suffering with a terminal illness were even more likely (71%) to back the Bill. And there was strong cross-party support from 73% of Labour and Conservative voters and 72% of Liberal Democrat voters. Dame Esther, 84, has campaigned tirelessly for a change in the law since revealing last December that she had registered with Swiss suicide clinic Dignitas. She said: “At last, MPs have a chance to reform it, and replace it with the Private Member’s Bill which allows us the choice not to shorten our lives, to shorten our death. “And once again this survey shows, like all the previous surveys, that this is the change most people want.” The Express survey also found that 62% of people would want the option to be prescribed life-ending medication by a doctor if they were terminally ill and suffering. Only 17% said they would not. And 54% believed that legalising assisted dying would make the UK a more compassionate country, while 14% said it would make it less compassionate. Meanwhile, a YouGov poll of 2,169 people found 73% supported Ms Leadbeater’s Bill, compared to only 13% who opposed it. Eight in ten agreed that if the law did change, two doctors should be required to assess the patient. But only 55% agreed that a High Court judge was necessary and just 37% thought it should be necessary for the patient to administer the life-ending medication themselves, rather than a doctor. Silver Voices also polled over 2,200 of its members this month and found 61% backed the Bill, while 26% opposed it and 12% were unsure. The group’s director, Dennis Reed, urged MPs “not to duck this rare opportunity” to give terminally ill people control over their deaths. He added: “We urge MPs to vote in favour of the Bill so that this important issue of choice over our own lives can be thoroughly examined in Parliament. “However, the Government must allow sufficient time for the safeguards to be examined forensically and for international comparisons to be debated. If necessary, the Government should introduce its own Bill to replace the Private Member’s initiative. “If the Bill is voted down next week, we may have to wait another decade before the issue comes back and people will continue dying in pain, indignity and discomfort for the sake of an extra few weeks of life. “A ‘good death’ is so important for family memories as well as the release and reassurance for the terminally ill patient.” More in Common’s polling of more than 17,000 people found 65% supported assisted dying and just 13% were against it. The think tank identified only seven constituencies where the majority of people did not support the principle. Polls have consistently shown for years that most members of the public are in favour of legalising assisted dying for terminally ill people who are nearing death. But MPs have so far failed to represent their constituents on the issue, and in 2015 voted down a similar Bill by 330 votes to 118. The Express Give Us Our Last Rights crusade has fought alongside campaign group Dignity in Dying for almost three years to highlight this injustice. Sarah Wootton, Dignity in Dying chief executive, said: "With a matter of days to go before the historic Second Reading debate on Kim Leadbeater’s Bill, the British public have made their minds up – for compassion and safety's sake they want to see this law changed. “Many will have seen loved ones die in pain despite excellent care or take their own lives, both here and abroad. Some will want the choice themselves, so they can live knowing that they can die well when the time comes.” Ms Wootton said the Bill was “the strongest proposal Parliament has ever considered on assisted dying”, and builds on best practice from laws proven to work safely overseas and the findings of a recent Commons Health and Social Care Committee inquiry. She added: “We would not be alone in changing this law - we will bring England and Wales in line with the majority of assisted dying laws around the world, including those in 10 US states, across Australia and New Zealand, as well as legislation being considered in Scotland, Jersey and the Isle of Man. “MPs must back this Bill on 29th November to ensure a full debate can take place. This is a critical opportunity to bring about real change for dying people and their families, one that they are clearly calling out for.”
