Mumbai: Two passengers on board a Delhi-bound Air India flight from Copenhagen (Denmark) came to blows over armrest space just when the aircraft was about to land at the Indira Gandhi International Airport on Sunday, a source said. The flight landed at around 7.35 am. An Air India official said that the passengers had an argument over some issue at its Copenhagen-Delhi flight of Saturday which was later sorted out “amicably”. According to the source, “The two passengers started an argument over the armrest space in economy class when the cabin crew was serving food and beverages, which turned into a heated exchange. The cabin crew pacified them by giving one of the passengers another seat. “However, when the aircraft was about to land in Delhi, the passenger came to collect his baggage from the seat he was sitting earlier, they again started the fight and came to blows.” The number of passengers on board the Boeing 787-8 aircraft, operating AI 158 (Copenhagen-Delhi) could not be known. The source, however, said that the flight was almost full. When contacted, an Air India official said, “There was an argument between the two passengers over some issue but it was resolved amicably. They even shook hands before leaving the airport.”Dolphins Among Top Destinations for $160 Million QB After New Report
BOISE, Idaho — Ashton Jeanty ran for 209 yards and a touchdown and No. 10 Boise State earned a College Football Playoff spot, beating No. 19 UNLV 21-7 on Friday night for its second straight Mountain West title. Boise State (12-1, No. 10 CFP) is all but assured of a first-round bye in the playoffs if it maintains its ranking ahead of the Big 12 winner and finishes as one of the four highest-ranked conference champs. “In January when they were playing tug of war on the field with their shirts off, they talked about what they wanted to do this season,” Boise State coach Spencer Danielson said. “They wanted to win a conference championship and make it to the college playoffs, and they worked for that.” Jeanty, who had the spotlight to himself to state his Heisman case, didn’t disappoint, ripping off an electrifying 75-yard touchdown run. It was his fifth TD run of 70 yards or more this season, tying LaDainian Tomlinson’s FBS season record. Jeanty also surpassed 1981 Heisman winner Marcus Allen of Southern California to move into fourth place on the FBS season rushing list and needs 132 more to pass record-holder Barry Sanders of Oklahoma State. Maddux Madsen threw a touchdown pass and rushed for another score for the Broncos. UNLV (10-3, No. 20 CFP), which entered the game seventh nationally in scoring offense averaging 38.7 points, hadn’t been held below 23 this season.

Credit: AP/Steve Conner “I have been in championship games before and come up on the wrong end of them,” UNLV coach Barry Odom said. “But you continue to learn from them and move your organization forward and find a way to get back to a game like this and win it.” However, Odom didn’t mince words when describing how he felt about Boise State, which handed his team two of their three losses. “Good luck to anyone who comes here and thinks they’re going to win the game,” Odom said. “I think they’re one of the best teams in college football right now. And I think they’ll do a great job representing this conference. They’re built to make a run.” With UNLV loading the box with eight or nine defenders early in the game, Boise State leaned heavily on Madsen in the first quarter. And he delivered, completing six of his first seven passes, including a 22-yard scoring strike to Latrell Caples for a 7-0 lead.

Credit: AP/Steve Conner Madsen used his legs to put the Broncos ahead 14-0, scrambling for a 14-yard TD run with 2:40 left in the first half. After a quick stop, Boise State got the ball back and let Jeanty work his magic. Two plays later, he raced through the teeth of the defense and sprinted to the end zone for a 75-yard TD run, giving the Broncos a 21-0 lead with 29 seconds left in the half. UNLV had a chance to claw back into it late in the third quarter when Kylin James raced 86 yards before Seyi Oladipo ran him down at the Boise State 5. But the Rebels lost 4 yards on the next four plays and failed to score. The Rebels finally got into the end zone with 9:06 left on a Greg Burrell 31-yard run. Hajj-Malik Williams led UNLV offensively with 110 yards passing and 56 yards rushing. Takeaways UNLV: Odom, who guided the Rebels to their first 10-win season in 40 years, has the program headed in the right direction after UNLV had just seven wins in the three seasons before his arrival. If he continues to recruit well and build through the transfer portal like he did this season, the Rebels should contend for the Mountain West title. Boise State: First-year coach Spencer Danielson delivered what the program’s fan base has been starving for since it made waves in the college football world in 2006 by going undefeated and beating Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. But now this team has a chance to take it one step further and take down one of the sport’s blue bloods in the playoffs. Up next Boise State awaits the selection show Sunday to find out who and when it will play in the College Football Playoff.Analysts See $10 for Lightchain AI While XRP Hangs at $5 ProjectionSo you're gathering with relatives whose politics are different.

( MENAFN - Gulf Times) South Korea's leadership crisis will play out in the Constitutional Court, which will decide the fate of President Yoon Suk-yeol and Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, both impeached and suspended from power over a short-lived martial law. Han, who was impeached on Friday, had taken over as acting president from Yoon, impeached on December 14. Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok now becomes acting president under the law. Also on Friday, the court held its first hearing in a case to decide whether to reinstate Yoon or remove him permanently from power. The ruling conservative People Power Party filed a court injunction after the vote to impeach Han, saying a simple majority was not sufficient to impeach an acting president. After being impeached on Dec 14, Yoon's presidential powers were suspended but he remains in office, retaining his immunity from most charges except insurrection or treason. The Constitutional Court must decide within 180 days whether to remove him from office or reject the impeachment and restore his powers. If it removes Yoon or he resigns, a presidential election must be held within 60 days. Opposition Democratic Party lawmaker Jung Chung-rae, the head of parliament's Legislation and Judiciary Committee, is leading the case for removing Yoon. Yoon's legal counsel included former Constitutional Court spokesperson Bae Bo-yoon and former prosecutor Yoon Kab-keun, who appeared at Friday's hearing. The court is also expected to hold a trial on whether to remove Han from office or restore him to his role. South Korea's constitution requires six justices to agree on the ouster of an impeached president. But the nine-member court has three vacancies, so the current justices would have to vote unanimously to remove Yoon. The court has said it can deliberate and hear arguments with just six justices. The three vacancies are to be filled by parliament, controlled by the main opposition Democratic Party, which approved three nominees this week, although the ruling People Power Party boycotted them. However, Han refused to appoint the justices without bipartisan agreement, saying to do so would exceed his powers in the acting role. Then the opposition-controlled parliament impeached him. There is precedent for an acting president to appoint a Constitutional Court justice, as when former President Park Geun-hye was impeached in late 2016. In South Korea's only previous presidential removal by impeachment, the court took three months to oust Park in 2017. This time, the terms of two court justices expire in April, and legal experts predict it may seek to rule before that to minimise uncertainty. On Friday Justice Cheong Hyung-sik of the Constitutional Court said it would move swiftly in the case, considering its gravity. In the past, academics say, the justices have not voted predictably by political leaning but have decided case by case, going by their interpretation of the constitution. Conservative attempts to rally popular support for Yoon are not expected to affect the court's ruling, as Park was removed from office despite continued conservative rallies to keep her in power, warring with candlelight rallies seeking her removal. In the case of Park, who like Yoon was from a centre-right party, the court voted unanimously to remove her, including some justices viewed as conservative and two Park appointees. Yoon also faces criminal investigations related to the martial law decision. If charged, he could ask the Constitutional Court to suspend the 180-day clock on the impeachment ruling. The court denied a similar request by Park. In 2004, then-President Roh Moo-hyun, from a centre-left party, was impeached for falling short of the political neutrality required of a high public official, but finished his five-year term after the court rejected the motion within two months. - Reuters MENAFN29122024000067011011ID1109040164 Legal Disclaimer: MENAFN provides the information “as is” without warranty of any kind.

Carol Sheaves of Moncton, N.B., who has worked for five decades in Canada, says it's not fair that retirees like her won't get the government's newly proposed rebate cheques. Although she considers the $250 payments "a freaking joke" that won't help much with skyrocketing costs, she feels seniors who have worked for so many years deserve it too. "I've paid dues, taxes, whatever, since I was about 17 years old. That's a long time to pay taxes, to help out the economy in this country," Sheaves, 67, said in a video interview with CTVNews.ca on Monday. She worked administrative jobs and owned a couple small businesses with her 70-year-old husband Frank before they both retired. "We worked all our lives, and I think we're entitled to that and more." Sheaves says she and Frank have been receiving Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Old Age Security (OAS) payments, a small work pension and returns on their investments. While she doesn't consider herself to be in serious financial trouble, she said rent has increased by about $300 to more than $1,600 since she and her husband sold their home and began renting an apartment in Moncton. They are watching their money carefully and always look out for discounts for groceries, she added. "When we retired, we figured we had sufficient funds to put aside to help with our retirement," Sheaves said. "But of course, the world has gone crazy. Like everything, the prices have gone up." The federal government announced last week a two-month GST/HST break on certain goods, as well as plans in April to give Canadians who made $150,000 per year or less in 2023 a "Working Canadians Rebate" of $250. Both measures are expected to cost a total of $6.3 billion. While the tax break on some goods applies to anyone, Sheaves was among the seniors who expressed their frustrations to CTVNews.ca about not being among the 18.7 million Canadians who are expected to qualify for the government's planned rebate. When asked why rebate cheques were not being given to seniors who are not working or those with disabilities, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said working Canadians were making their voices heard about needing financial support. In any case, Sheaves questions whether the cheques will be that helpful since many Canadians will struggle more over Christmas and won't get the rebate until spring. She especially worries for young people, the poor and homeless. "It's getting harder and harder for a person to survive," she said. "It's just not fair. I really, really feel bad for the young people. I feel bad for us too, but the young people, they have not got a chance." When asked whether the proposed measures could be focused on helping youth instead, given the high youth unemployment in the country, the government pointed to the spillover benefits of the cheques. Women and Gender Equality and Youth Minister Marci Ien told CTV Question Period host Vassy Kapelos in an interview that aired Sunday that entire families are saving money and benefiting from the tax break and rebate. Bill Cole of Toronto called the exclusion of retired seniors a "discriminatory insult," noting they live on fixed incomes. "Retired seniors represent a significant voting bloc and many are facing significant affordability issues as inflationary pressure eat away at our retirement income," Cole wrote in an email to CTVNews.ca on Nov. 22. Anita Reilander of Calgary wonders why people who earn more, including those making up to $150,000, will get the benefit. "If those people can't make ends meet on those earnings, they need financial training, not extra money," she wrote in an email to CTVNews.ca on Nov. 22. She said the $250 would be put to good use by seniors living on pensions of around $20,000.

Meet the Future of Gaming PCs! ASUS Unveils Next-Gen ROG NUC.Hindu monk and minority leader Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari has been arrested in Dhaka, sparking concerns among the Hindu community in Bangladesh. The detention comes amidst ongoing tensions over minority rights and rising political violence following the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Arrest Follows Minority Rights Protests in Rangpur The arrest follows protests by the Hindu community in Rangpur, approximately 300 km from Dhaka, demanding stronger legal protections and the creation of a dedicated ministry for minority affairs. “I just received the shocking news that Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, a Hindu monk & the face and leader of Bangladeshi minorities in these difficult times, has been arrested by the Dhaka police and taken to an undisclosed location. Kind attention,” wrote Radharamn Das, an ISKCON spokesperson, tagging Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and the Indian High Commission in Dhaka. Sedition Case Linked to Outspoken Advocacy Bangladeshi authorities have not released an official statement, but reports indicate Brahmachari was detained at Dhaka airport earlier this week. His arrest is believed to be linked to a sedition case filed earlier this month over his vocal stance against violence targeting Hindus. Escalation of Violence Against Minorities Hindus constitute around 8% of Bangladesh’s 170 million population. Since the change in government, the military-backed interim regime led by Mohammed Yunus has faced criticism for failing to address increasing attacks on minorities. In recent months, Hindu businesses, homes, and temples have faced vandalism. Earlier this month, sedition charges were filed against 19 participants in a minority rights rally in Chittagong. Calls for Action From Indian Leaders BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari condemned the arrest, highlighting Brahmachari’s efforts to protect Hindu minorities. “Renowned firebrand Hindu Leader; Shri Chinmoy Krishna Das Prabhu has been abducted by the Detective Branch at Dhaka Airport in Bangladesh. He is leading the fight for the survival & dignity of the Hindu Minorities of Bangladesh. The Bangladeshi Sanatani Community fear that Md Yunus’s ‘Radical’ Regime may stoop to any level, even eliminate ‘perceived threats’ to its authority. I urge @DrSJaishankar Ji to kindly take note of the matter and take urgent steps,” Adhikari posted on social media. Arrest Seen as Attempt to Silence Dissent Kanchan Gupta, a senior advisor to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, described the arrest as “a targeted move to stifle voices of protest.” “Hindu leader and ISKCON monk Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari is reported arrested in Dhaka by Yunus Regime Police. Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari was charged with sedition after he led a massive rally of Hindus protesting targeted hate attacks and demanding protection from Islamists. Tallest leader of the Hindu community, Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari is believed to have been taken to Detective Branch of Yunus Regime,” Gupta wrote. Government Defends Actions Amid Criticism The interim regime has defended its minority protection measures, pointing to enhanced security during Durga Puja, celebrated at over 32,000 venues nationwide. However, activists argue these efforts fall short in addressing the underlying issues. The interim government recently announced plans for electoral reforms and a new election roadmap, but critics question its commitment to democracy amidst reports of targeted violence against minorities.

NoneOLD TRAFFORD chiefs are locked in a blame game over who was responsible for their summer shambles. Manchester United have become a laughing stock over their treatment of former boss Erik ten Hag. The club’s recruitment strategy has also faced scrutiny following another summer splurge of nearly £180million. Red Devils co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Co were set to get rid of Ten Hag after the FA Cup final. They ended up extending his contract and employing a new coaching team around him following their Wembley win over City. But the Dutchman was axed after just nine Prem games this season with United languishing down in 14th in the table. The former Ajax chief’s staff were also dismissed — all with sizeable pay-offs. It cost around £15m to sack Ten Hag alone, while they had to shell out another £10m to bring Portuguese Ruben Amorim in from Sporting Lisbon, including an extra fee so that he could cut short his notice period. It has been a bumpy start for Ratcliffe, who bought a 27.7 per cent stake in United in February and was charged with running the football side of the club. FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS The British billionaire, 72, appointed a new senior management team, including Sir Dave Brailsford , Omar Berrada, Dan Ashworth and Jason Wilcox. But so far, the jury is out on their summer transfer deals. The likes of forward Joshua Zirkzee, at £36.5m, and £38.5m centre-back Matthijs de Ligt have struggled to find their feet. Now, tough questions are being asked internally about who bears the most responsibility for what went wrong with their planned squad revamp.What are the key agreements signed between India and Kuwait during PM Modi's visit?
