DRINK and drug drivers are being targeted with a pioneering AI camera. The mobile tech can detect driving behaviour consistent with those who may be under the influence at the wheel. Police further up the road can then stop the vehicle, talk to the driver and do a roadside test for alcohol and narcotics. A trial is under way in Devon and Cornwall. The Heads Up system was developed by Australian firm Acusensus, whose devices have previously been used to help police catch drivers using mobile phones at the wheel or not wearing seatbelts. The firm’s UK boss Geoff Collins said: “We are delighted to be conducting the world’s first trials of this technology. "We are all safer if we can detect impairment before it causes an incident that could ruin lives.” Supt Simon Jenkinson's team polices around 14,000 miles of roads in Devon and Cornwall. He said: “Our officers cannot be everywhere. “We’re committed to doing everything we can to reduce the number of people killed and seriously injured on our roads. "Embracing emerging technology such as these cameras is vital in that quest.”

The reigning Super Bowl champions saw their run of 15 straight wins ended by the Buffalo Bills last week, but got back to winning ways thanks to star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. After a late Chuba Hubbard touchdown and two-point conversion had made it 27-27, the Chiefs got the ball back with less than two minutes on the clock and a 33-yard run from Mahomes helped set up Spencer Shrader for a game-winning field goal.

Running back Jahmyr Gibbs scored two touchdowns as the Detroit Lions beat the Indianapolis Colts 24-6 to improve their record to 10-1, matching that of the Chiefs. David Montgomery also ran for a score before having to leave the game with a shoulder injury. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers ended a four-game losing streak with a 30-7 win over the New York Giants, who “mutually agreed” to terminate the contract of quarterback Daniel Jones earlier this week. Jones’ replacement Tommy DeVito was sacked four times while opposite number Baker Mayfield ran for a touchdown and completed 24 of 30 pass attempts for 294 yards. Rachaad White, Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker also ran for touchdowns in a one-sided contest. The Dallas Cowboys ended their five-game losing streak with a remarkable 34-26 win over the Washington Commanders, with 30 points scored in the final three minutes. KaVontae Turpin’s 99-yard kick-off return for a touchdown looked to have sealed victory for the Cowboys, only for the Commanders to respond with a field goal before getting the ball back with 33 seconds remaining.

In papers filed with the Georgia Court of Appeals, Trump's attorneys argued the 2020 election interference charges against him should be tossed due to "the unconstitutionality of his continued indictment and prosecution by the State of Georgia" now that "he is President-Elect and will soon become the 47th President of the United States." The case has been stalled for most of the year as Trump's lawyers have challenged a ruling that denied their request to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her office from prosecuting the case on conflict of interest grounds. The appeals court had been set to hear arguments on Willis's disqualification this week but abruptly canceled the hearing without explanation last month. In their filing, Trump lawyers Steven Sadow, Jennifer Little and Matthew Winchester contended Trump's election win is grounds to throw the case out altogether. They cited a Justice Department legal memo that held that presidents can't be prosecuted while they're in office. The Justice Department relied on that memo in deciding to dismiss two federal criminal cases against Trump last month, but the Georgia case is a state case, not a federal case. The Trump filing maintained the same principles should apply regardless, and urged the judges to take action "well before the inauguration of President Trump." The appeals court "should dismiss his appeal for lack of jurisdiction with directions to the trial court to immediately dismiss the indictment against President Trump," the filing said. The DA's office declined a request for comment. The Georgia case was one of what was once four criminal cases against Trump. The federal classified documents and election interference cases were officially dismissed last month. Trump was convicted on felony charges in a New York case earlier this year, but his sentencing has been put on indefinite hold as the judge weighs Trump's motions to dismiss that case.

The event was the first of its kind since the July 1 integration of EVMS into ODU, forming Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences at Old Dominion University. The first ceremony at 9 a.m. recognized graduates from the Batten College of Engineering and Technology, the College of Arts and Letters, the College of Sciences, the School of Cybersecurity and the School of Data Science. The 12:30 p.m. ceremony celebrated students from the Darden College of Education and Professional Studies, the Graduate School, the Strome College of Business and Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences at Old Dominion University's Ellmer College of Health Sciences, Ellmer School of Nursing and EVMS School of Health Professions. This ceremony also marked a historic milestone with the first two graduates from Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences EVMS School of Health Professions at ODU - both receiving Doctorates in Medical Science. ODU President Brian O. Hemphill, Ph.D., shared a thought-provoking message with graduates as they contemplate their unique journeys ahead. "I would like you to think about the vital role an educated person plays in our society,” he said. "You are among the most fortunate people in one of the most fortunate countries on earth. "Because of the special status you hold as an educated person, others will look to you for leadership. I am confident that they will find in you what they find in so many Monarchs, and that is the heartfelt commitment to public service and social justice.” Kelly Till '94, the first female president and publisher of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, served as the keynote speaker for both ceremonies and Kay Kemper '80, ODU's first female vice president and former Board of Visitors rector, penned a letter to students offering advice for the future. President Hemphill presented Till and Kemper with honorary Doctor of Business degrees, making them both double alumnae of ODU. During her remarks, Till recalled her own graduation day three decades ago. "I left ODU in 1994 with big dreams, and looking back, I couldn't be prouder to be a Monarch,” she said. She imparted four timeless lessons to graduates - hoping they will shape and inspire them as they have her: She reflected on how losing her first job post-graduation was a setback that unexpectedly launched her 28-year career. Till reminded graduates that their journeys are uniquely theirs and to trust themselves to take bold risks. "You don't need anyone's permission to pursue your dreams,” Till said. She reminded graduates that no one achieves success alone and to find people who inspire, challenge and hold them accountable. Till, mother to an ODU alumna and a current student, ended with a heartfelt message that success isn't measured in accolades but defined by the lives you touch and the difference you make. "Go forth boldly, lead with purpose and always carry your Monarch pride wherever life takes you,” she said. In the written letter graduates received from Kay Kemper '80, she congratulated them and offered "a few lessons I've gathered since I sat where you are now.” She offered four pieces of advice: Kemper also offered additional pointers she's found useful, including make as few enemies as possible, it's rarely too late to pursue something meaningful, don't let intellectual pride keep you from learning from everyone you meet, start saving money early and get to know yourself well. Kemper ended by congratulating students and wishing them an "extraordinary” journey. "You can and will make a difference,” she wrote. ### CONTACT: Kenya Godette Old Dominion University 757-683-4988 [email protected]
Vote counting will kickstart at 8 am on Saturday in the Buldhana constituency, located in the Buldhana district of Maharashtra. The Assembly constituency witnessed 62.39 % turnout on Saturday in a crucial electoral contest. A seat with a history of diverse political representation, Buldhana remained a focal point in the state's changing political dynamics. Sitting MLA Sanjay Rambhau Gaikwad, now aligned with the Shinde-led Shiv Sena, contested to retain his seat. With the support of the Mahayuti alliance, which includes the BJP and the Ajit Pawar-led NCP faction, Gaikwad aimed to leverage the organisational strength of this coalition. He faced Jayshree Sunil Shelke of Shiv Sena (UTB). Other local leaders and independents also threw their hats into the ring, focusing on specific community issues and development concerns. Sanjay Rambhau Gaikwad (Shiv Sena) : 26,075 votes 1. Political stability: The last five years in Maharashtra have been marked by party splits and shifting alliances. Voters in Buldhana may seek clarity on how these developments will impact governance and stability. 2. Development vs defections: Concerns about stalled development projects in the region, exacerbated by frequent political realignments, are expected to dominate the discourse. 3. Farmer welfare and rural development: Buldhana, with its significant agrarian population, will see debates over farmers' welfare, irrigation, and rural development schemes. 4. Leadership crisis in Shiv Sena: The division within the Shiv Sena, with both Shinde and Uddhav factions claiming legitimacy, will add an emotional layer to voter decisions in this constituency. As Maharashtra navigates a fractured political landscape, the Buldhana constituency remains emblematic of the state’s electoral complexities. With a mix of traditional loyalties, development aspirations and the shadow of political realignments, the 2024 Assembly elections promise to be a litmus test for all major players. The results on Saturday will reveal whether the voters reward stability or choose change.
