The United States is expected to announce that it will send 1.25 billion dollars (£1 billion) in military assistance to Ukraine, US officials said on Friday, as the Biden administration pushes to get as much aid to Kyiv as possible before leaving office on January 20. The large package of aid includes a significant amount of munitions, including for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems and the Hawk air defence system. It also will provide Stinger missiles and 155mm and 105mm artillery rounds, officials said. The officials, who said they expect the announcement to be made on Monday, spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details not yet made public. The new aid comes as Russia launched a barrage of attacks against Ukraine’s power facilities in recent days, although Ukraine has said it intercepted a significant number of the missiles and drones. Russian and Ukrainian forces are also still in a bitter battle around the Russian border region of Kursk, where Moscow has sent thousands of North Korean troops to help reclaim territory taken by Ukraine. Earlier this month, senior defence officials acknowledged that the US Defence Department may not be able to send all of the remaining 5.6 billion dollars (£4.5 billion) in Pentagon weapons and equipment stocks passed by Congress for Ukraine before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in. Mr Trump has talked about getting some type of negotiated settlement between Ukraine and Russia, and spoken about his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Many US and European leaders are concerned that it might result in a poor deal for Ukraine and they worry that he will not provide Ukraine with all the weapons funding approved by Congress. The aid in the new package is in presidential drawdown authority, which allows the Pentagon to take weapons off the shelves and send them quickly to Ukraine. This latest assistance would reduce the remaining amount to about 4.35 billion dollars (£3.46 billion). Officials have said they hope that an influx of aid will help strengthen Ukraine’s hand, should Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky decide it is time to negotiate. One senior defence official said that while the US will continue to provide weapons to Ukraine until January 20, there may well be funds remaining that will be available for the incoming Trump administration to spend. According to the Pentagon, there is also about 1.2 billion dollars (£0.9 billion) remaining in longer-term funding through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which is used to pay for weapons contracts that would not be delivered for a year or more. Officials have said the administration anticipates releasing all of that money before the end of the calendar year. If the new package is included, the US will have provided more than 64 billion dollars (£50.8 billion) in security assistance to Ukraine since Russia invaded in February 2022.

NoneWith a new year ahead and the holiday fanfare behind, this is a great time to set money goals, especially if you recently spent a lot on gifts and travel and want to get your finances in shape. You’d be in good company, too — according to a January 2024 survey from the Pew Research Center, of the 30% of Americans who made at least one New Year’s resolution, 61% had a goal that was money-related. Right now, you may be highly motivated to solve every single one of your money issues in the next few months, but daily life is guaranteed to get in the way. Your financial to-do list, once so full of promise, can eventually get stuffed in the back of a drawer while you manage more pressing matters. The vast majority of New Year’s resolutions go unfulfilled. So how can you improve your odds of success? It comes down to accepting that you won’t have the time or energy to complete every task to perfection. Creating a system where you can prioritize, plan ahead and hold yourself accountable can help. Many start by setting a goal to trim frivolous costs, which can certainly be helpful, but there are other ways to make a big difference. Taylor Schult — a certified financial planner and founder of Define Financial, an advisory firm in San Diego — recommends starting with a few overlooked financial tasks. Freezing your credit is a quick, easy way to guard yourself against identity theft. It’s free to do, and you can temporarily lift the freeze when you’re applying for a loan or credit card. Schulte also suggests looking into umbrella insurance , which offers additional coverage beyond what your auto, homeowners and other insurance policies provide. This coverage can spare you from massive out-of-pocket costs in the event you get sued. Basic estate planning, including creating a will, is another thing to put high on your list. Putting off this task can create a major headache for your loved ones if something happens to you unexpectedly. “I know it’s a pain point and it’s often kicked down the road,” Schulte says. Paying attention to your spending is always important, but don’t neglect taking steps to protect your money, yourself and your loved ones. So many money goals are born out of social pressure. You “should” want to save up to own a home, even if you’re happily renting. You “should” sacrifice short-term needs and wants to stash away as much as possible for retirement, even though it leaves you feeling deprived. But money goals should be tied to the things that matter most to you. If they aren’t, you’ll quickly lose interest. “If you don’t know what goals to choose, go back to your values and have them guide the goals you set,” says Eric Roberge, a certified financial planner and founder of Beyond Your Hammock, a financial advisory firm in Boston. You can combine goal-setting with a little planning, so expenses are less likely to creep up on you throughout the year. Think about what expected costs will be coming up in the next six to 12 months, like recurring bills, vacations, anticipated home or car repairs, and other expenses. This approach allows you to set money aside each month to put toward planned costs, as well as longer-term goals. Forgetting your goals can be far too easy, so to make something stick, write it down . It can be as simple as a handwritten list you keep on the fridge, or online calendar reminders that will nudge you every so often. For time-sensitive goals, set deadlines. One tactic is to make multiple lists based on what you need to complete within the next week, month or three months. As time passes and you check off items, you can update the list. Enlist others’ help, too. Weekly or monthly household money meetings are useful if you’re completing financial tasks as a group. Or share your goals with a trusted friend or family member who can serve as an accountability partner. Looping in loved ones can help keep you on track. “We don’t mind letting ourselves down,” Schulte says. “But we hate to let other people down.” It’s easy to get stuck in decision-making mode when trying to pick a high-yield savings account, credit card or possible investments, but eventually, you need to make a good-enough choice . Taking action now can have more of a positive effect on your life than waiting until you’ve painstakingly considered each option. Roberge says that though he’d prefer to optimize every financial decision, he doesn’t because if he did, he wouldn’t get things done. “Everything in moderation is one of the things that I live by,” he says. “Going to extremes in any one thing, at the detriment of other things that are important, doesn’t work long-term.” More From NerdWallet Boost Your Credit Card Rewards This Holiday With a Few Extra Clicks Activating Your Credit Card?

Trump has picked a flurry of controversial Republicans for key White House jobs in the weeks since he defeated Vice President Kamala Harris : Fox News host Pete Hegseth , World Wrestling Entertainment co-founder Linda McMahon , independent candidate and vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and firebrand former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) , to name a few. “Linda McMahon is in a lawsuit about enabling sexual shenanigans of some kind with the wrestling world,” Maher said on “Real Time” Friday in his opening monologue . “And then there’s Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth , and oh, RFK, who admitted to groping a nanny .” Hegseth, Trump’s pick for Defense Secretary, was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in 2017, according to a police report filed at the time. The Fox star was never charged, and has claimed the encounter was consensual. But Maher said the allegations raised another question: “Has anyone ever had sex with someone from Fox News and liked it?” The Democrat and comedian did applaud the other side of the aisle for pushing back against Gaetz, who faced a House ethics probe for allegedly having sex with a 17-year-old and using illicit drugs, only to resign from Congress before the probe’s report could be released. The former congressman, who withdrew from consideration Thursday amid mounting objections from Democrats and Republicans alike , was replaced within hours by former Florida attorney general Pam Bondi.

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets and Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, per ESPN's Shams Charania . Kyle Neubeck of PHLY Sports initially reported Embiid would miss Friday's game for left knee injury management. According to Charania, the 76ers revealed the veteran is dealing with swelling in his knee. The 2022-23 MVP missed the first six games of the season due to maintenance on his surgically repaired left knee. He was out for another three games due to a suspension for shoving a reporter in the locker room. Before the season tipped off, Embiid and the Sixers signaled that the team would be even more proactive in handling his workload in an effort to keep him healthy for the playoffs. The plan made sense in theory because Philadelphia needs the seven-time All-Star at his best in the postseason to have a realistic path to a championship. However, his absence early on pointed to one risk with the strategy. By the time Embiid made his debut on Nov. 12, the Sixers had dropped seven of their first nine games. It became eight out of 10 when Embiid wasn't enough to help Philly avoid a 111-99 defeat to the New York Knicks. The fact he's not playing back-to-backs then left the team short-handed in a 114-106 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers the following night. Signing Paul George was supposed to give the 76ers a bit of a buffer when Embiid is out of the lineup. However, George also missed the start of the year and is on a similar plan in terms of load management. How Philadelphia fares in the playoffs will be the ultimate barometer for how this year is judged. Maybe everything is clicking for the Sixers once April rolls around. For now, a lot of the excitement coming out of the summer has probably dissipated in the City of Brotherly Love.India News | UP: Akhilesh Yadav Congratulates Two SP Candidates for Winning Bypolls
In your everyday life, time and space know how to behave. A kilometre is a kilometre, and an hour is an hour – no matter how late you are running. Perception is not reality. Einstein showed space and time were one thing, and it bends and warps. A decade ago, astronomers for the first time observed gravitational waves: universe-spanning ripples that move through space-time – and through us. This discovery proved to be only part of the story. Astronomers are finding our universe is so permeated by gravitational waves, the fabric of reality is constantly in flux. Australian astronomers have created the most detailed maps of gravitational waves across the universe to date. Credit: Carl Knox / OzGrav / Swinburne University of Technology / South African Radio Astronomy Observatory The picture that is coming into focus, says astronomer Dr Matt Miles, is one that shows the universe as a vast ocean, dark and powerful. “The Earth is really just a ship, being bounced across the waves. The universe is constantly changing size. Time is constantly changing. The Earth is just riding that wave.” In a series of papers published last week in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society , a group of Australian astronomers reveal the strongest evidence yet for what they call the “gravitational wave background”: the constant rippling of space-time. Einstein imagined space like a piece of stretched fabric, with stars and planets and black holes scattered across it. Their mass bends and curves the fabric. The moon orbits the Earth because it is trapped in the depression in space-time created by the Earth’s mass – it spins like a coin in a funnel. Now, on the stretched fabric of space, introduce a very heavy spinning object: a pair of super-massive black holes orbiting each other. University of Sydney researcher Dr Sean Farrell was part of an international team of astronomers which observed a star that had strayed too close to a super-massive black hole being torn apart. Credit: Ute Kraus These spinning objects create ripples that spread through the sheet: gravitational waves. As these waves pass through us, space is distorted just slightly. The Earth – and everyone on it – widens and then shrinks. Why don’t we notice? Because a fish that lives in the ocean does not notice the waves. “Waves and currents pass through the literal fabric they live in,” says Rowina Nathan, an astronomer at Monash University who co-wrote one of the papers. “It’s the same for us.” Scientists have been spotting single waves passing through Earth since 2015. The new papers show waves are rippling throughout the entire universe. The LIGO interferometer in Livingston, Louisiana, which is used to detect gravitational waves. The team took observations of pulsars, rapidly spinning remains of supernovas, which emit bursts of radiation with such regularity they can be used as cosmic lighthouses. Over almost five years, the team used the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa to measure the distance between Earth and 83 pulsars. They watched as the distances widened and shrank – by up to the size of a tennis court – revealing what Miles describes as a “cacophony of noise” from the many waves they could see. With this information, they have created the most detailed maps of gravitational waves across the universe to date. Exotic explanations The next question to answer: what is causing these waves? The simple answer, if you can call it that, is super-massive black hole pairs. We know they produce single waves; it is likely there are enough of them out there to set the fabric of reality constantly in motion. But there are other more exotic explanations. “The physics is a little wild,” admits Miles, an astronomer with OzGrav at Swinburne University who led two of the papers. The first is known as “cosmological phase transition”. In the moments after the Big Bang, the universe was so hot the physical forces, like electromagnetism, that govern our reality had not yet formed. Eventually, parts of the universe cooled enough for basic physics to start functioning. But – in theory – this did not happen everywhere at once. This produced regions within the early universe operating on different physical laws. As these regions – or bubbles – came into contact with each other, the different physics collapsed into symmetry, releasing huge amounts of energy – and, possibly, gravitational waves. The gravitational wave background may be the leftover ripples from the bursting of those bubbles. If that theory is not exotic enough, there’s a second: cosmic strings. When the regions of the early universe came into contact, rather than bursting, they may have created long fractures – imperfections in the fabric of space-time. “They get frozen in when the universe cooled from its very hot state. And you can’t get rid of them,” says Professor Eric Thrane, an astrophysicist at Monash University. As these long fractures move, they could also generate gravitational waves. “People really believe in these. We don’t know if we’ll ever be able to prove it,” says Miles. Gravitational waves further tell us the universe is a strange and wonderful thing. “The universe is this very exciting cosmic dance,” says Miles. “And the Earth is going along with the motions.” The Examine newsletter explains and analyses science with a rigorous focus on the evidence.

Samsung is making it easier to turn off one of the Galaxy S24 Series' best features. In a move that will come as a welcome relief to some Galaxy S24-series owners, Samsung has made it easier than ever to disable one of its best exclusive display features. As recently discovered by Android Authority , Starting with Samsung’s One UI 7 release , expected next year, users will be able to deactivate “Super HDR” feature system-wide by flipping a new switch in the Advanced Features settings. Setting the Super HDR function to “off” will prevent any apps from displaying Super HDR content, not just the Samsung Gallery app, as was previously the case. Why Disable Super HDR? Sometimes, users may want to turn off Super HDR because they don’t want their screens to become uncomfortably bright when viewing specific images. This can often happen when they encounter the occasional Super HDR photo while scrolling through a feed of standard images, as the display has to shift into a higher brightness mode to display the brightest parts of the image properly. It’s an intrinsic part of how HDR displays work and can’t be helped by simply adjusting the brightness control. Super HDR is a relatively new feature that allows still photos to deliver the same improved brightness and contrast you’d typically expect from HDR video content. When Super HDR is enabled, pictures can use the full brightness capabilities of the smartphone’s display, dramatically improving image quality by increasing contrast between the brightest and darkest parts of the image. However, displaying Super HDR images can often make the whole display suddenly much brighter than expected, which some users find pretty jarring , especially when viewing content in a darkened room. Samsung already lets users turn off Super HDR in the Gallery app, but that control hasn’t been extended to other apps, such as Instagram or Google Photos until now. A Samsung community moderator explains the company's plans to implement an on/off switch for the ... [+] Super HDR function in Instagram (Translation from from Korean: Google). Samsung’s Android 15 Leak—Bad News For Nearly All Galaxy Owners Dark Web Facial ID Farm Warning—Hackers Build Identity Fraud Database In Whiplash Maneuver, Court Rules Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) Reporting Requirements Are On Hold A Good Reason Not To Disable Super HDR While no one deserves to be blinded by an uncomfortably bright screen, I urge Samsung owners to look at some HDR content before giving up on the feature entirely because Super HDR can make a massive difference in quality when used correctly. Instagram users, in particular, should look at the work of Greg Benz , who provides many comparisons of the same photo with HDR turned on and off. Turning HDR off with a one-time set-it-and-forget-it option means sacrificing much of the stunning picture quality your smartphone can deliver. For this reason, I hope Samsung finds a way to improve the Super HDR experience for everyone rather than simply making it easier to turn it off. Samsung One UI 7 is now in beta on the Galaxy S24 series, and users can install it through the Samsung Members app. The stable release is due to launch with the Galaxy S25 series early in 2025.

BNY Wealth is bullish about US stocks and economic growth heading into 2025. Investors may be overestimating the dangers of Donald Trump's tariff policy on the stock market. A top strategist recommends five places investors should consider putting their money now. A top strategist at $2.1 trillion BNY Wealth is pushing back against the widely held concern that tariffs will trouble the US economy in 2025. Sinead Colton Grant, who's the chief investment officer at BNY Wealth, is once again upbeat about the US economy and stocks. Economic and earnings growth should keep outpacing their international counterparts in the year ahead, the firm's recently published outlook said. "One of the key themes in our outlook is, equities have room to run, and specifically with that, we mean US equities," Colton Grant said in a recent interview with Business Insider. Stocks will be buoyed by a low-double-digit increase in corporate profits, which will stem in part from tax cuts, and a healthy economic backdrop marked by steady growth and lower inflation, Colton Grant said. The high end of her year-ahead S&P 500 price target is 6,600, which would be an 8.4% gain from today's levels. Many other strategists agree with those points and have conjured up similarly bullish targets . Some investment chiefs see the S&P 500 rocketing even higher to the 7,400 mark. The market may be misreading the threat of tariffs There's a strong sense in markets that US equities could fall flat if Donald Trump's proposed tariff policy sparks another series of trade wars. The president-elect has floated tough tariffs on imports from top trade partners like China, Canada, and Mexico, as well as countries in emerging markets that he sees as opponents of the US . Related stories The consensus among mainstream economists is that tariffs can do more harm than good. Although these taxes on imports can generate revenue for the government while boosting a country's industries and narrowing the trade deficit, they can prompt counter-tariffs that weigh on exports, slow economic growth, and lead to higher prices that are borne by consumers. However, Colton Grant thinks that the widely held view lacks nuance. Tariffs are a highly complex economic instrument, she said, and it's impossible to fully game out their ensuing impact. "What seems to be happening across the industry is a straight read across, from 'tariffs equals higher prices equals inflation,'" Colton Grant said. "It's much more complicated than that." While Trump has threatened steep tariffs, the actual policies may end up having a more limited scope, Colton Grant said. She thinks the US will go hard after China, whose trade practices have been widely panned as unfair , though other import taxes may be less strict — if they happen at all. "When it comes to tariffs, we think that the day one priority of the administration will be China — tariffs on China — and that's also because of the intertwined national security implications," Colton Grant said. "The subsequent broader tariffs we anticipate are likely to have more negotiations with individual economies, and that will ultimately result in a more muted impact." It's also possible that Trump is bluffing , at least with tariffs on allies. Other countries know how much mutual harm a trade war could cause, so the businessman-turned-politician may use tariffs as a threat to accomplish other administration goals. But even if tariffs cause price growth to pick up again, that doesn't mean the world is in for a repeat of the multi-decade-high inflation from the early 2020s. Colton Grant said the economy should be able to bear a modest uptick in prices, and stocks could continue to hold up as well. "Rather than inflation long-term settling at the 2% Fed target, it's probably more likely in the 2.5% to 3% area," Colton Grant said. "That is very, very different than inflation at 8%, 9%. Equity markets do very well under those conditions. And so we think inflation probably settles at a slightly higher level than it did in the 2010s decade, but we actually viewed the 2010s as being more of an aberration." While economists would say that tariffs are a net negative for the US as a whole, certain industries could thrive under protectionist policies. One example Colton Grant cited is the US automobile industry, which struggles to compete with Chinese electric vehicles. Companies in the People's Republic have been known to employ " predatory pricing ," meaning that goods are artificially cheap due to either superior scale or exceptionally cheap labor. Once competitors fold, the predatory prices can then charge more. But it's worth considering that the US is also dependent on Mexico and Canada, which are in the tariff crosshairs. "There can be positive impacts that come through too," Colton Grant said. "But ultimately, the end impact is also going to be as a result of the other policies that the administration puts in place. It really seems to be focused on more of a supply-side orientation to the market." 5 places to invest whether or not tariffs take hold Regardless of what happens on the tariff front, Colton Grant and her colleagues at BNY Wealth see several sound investing opportunities in equity markets. The firm is especially bullish on large caps , which have performed admirably in recent years. Valuations for that cohort are elevated but not out of whack, in the firm's view, given their ability to consistently expand margins. Those looking for a less expensive investment may want to consider mid caps , which are preferable to their small-cap counterparts since they have less floating-rate debt in a world of elevated interest rates. As far as sectors are concerned, Colton Grant highlighted a trifecta of economically sensitive groups that stand out: financials , industrials , and energy . Financials have been among the best performers since Trump's win, due to Wall Street's outlook for fewer regulations, more deal activity, and a healthy economy. Industrials would also make sense if economic growth remains robust or even picks up. And energy is a growth beneficiary and a hedge against inflation, which may be helpful if the consensus view is correct.Who wins Rising Star? Our experts have their sayStephen Manuel had hoped to pass his love of wrestling on to his sons. But when his wife presented him with seven daughters, it was time for Plan B. The way that worked out has been nothing short of spectacular. Last winter, the Manuel sisters, who wrestle for Romeo, dominated the girls state individual finals, taking two first places and a third. “I’ve been wrestling since kindergarten,” said Kaili Manuel, who took first place at 155 pounds in last weekend’s Macomb County Invitational Classic. “My dad got me started. He was always a wrestler and he wanted his sons to do wrestling — but he got all daughters. So he just started training us. I like it, though.” Stephen Manuel beams with pride when he talks about his daughters. “I’m pretty proud of them,” he said. “Most of them are wrestlers. Some are still pretty young but I’m hoping they’ll want to wrestle. They all put a lot of work in training and it shows on the mat.” Kaili, then a freshman, defeated Rihanna Vengas of Riverview Gabriel Richard 14-4 in the final match at 145 pounds for the state championship. She finished 26-1 and avenged her only loss with the major decision against Vengas. “I wasn’t expecting not to win,” Kaili said. “I don’t want to sound cocky but I was confident. I lost to the girl before but that was a bad match. I was hoping I’d get a rematch in the final.” Kaili won her second-straight county championship last Saturday with a 13-1 major decision against Alexandria Hampton of West Bloomfield. Kaili is ranked No. 1 in the country in her weight class (69 kg) and was part of the USA U17 team that wrestled in the World Championships in Amman, Jordan last August. Among her championships this year was a gold medal in the Pan American Games and the U17 women’s national championship. Belicia Manuel won the state championship at 140 pounds with an 8-7 decision over Emily Medford of Waterford Kettering. She ended the season 23-0. Belicia, a junior, was unable to defend her championship in the county tournament this year because of an injury but she’s hopeful she can wrestle in the Lady Mat Cat tournament at Montague this weekend. Amarisa Manuel, the oldest of the three sisters, took third place at 170 pounds in last year’s state meet. She was the top seed in her weight class but was upset in the quarterfinal round by Heaven Cole of Kalamazoo Loy Norrix. She bounced back strong to win her next four matches on falls, including a 58-second pin of Westland John Glenn’s Brooklyn Fisher in the third-place final. Amarisa closed out her high school career with a 21-1 record. “It was nice to go with my sisters,” Kaili said. “We have different workout programs but we are all partners on the mat.” /*!

As the countdown begins for the Maharashtra assembly election results, Union Minister Ramdas Athawale is optimistic about the Mahayuti alliance's return to power. He stated that while the Mahavikas Aghadi focuses on allegations, the ruling coalition emphasizes development, which he believes will be rewarded by the voters. Voting for the 288 assembly seats concluded on Wednesday with an impressive 66 percent turnout. The majority of exit polls predict a victory for the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance, though some suggest a closely contested race. This election holds particular importance as it is the first since the notable divisions within Shiv Sena and NCP. The Mahayuti comprises BJP, Shiv Sena, and Nationalist Congress Party, while the opposing MVA includes Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and the faction of NCP led by Sharad Pawar.

LONDON (AP) — West Ham forward Michail Antonio was taken to hospital after being involved in a road traffic incident on Saturday. West Ham added the 34-year-old player was in a stable condition. “Michail is conscious and communicating and is currently under close supervision at a central London hospital," the Premier League club said in a statement. “At this difficult time, we kindly ask everyone to respect the privacy of Michail and his family. “The club will make no further comment this evening, but will issue a further update in due course.” Unverified images of a heavily damaged Ferrari in the Essex area were shared on social media on Saturday. It was not known if it was the car involved in the accident. Antonio signed for West Ham in 2015 and has made more than 300 appearances. West Ham doesn't have a league game until Monday.
