Anubhav Sinha ko gussa kyun aata hai? When former IPS officer Aloke Lal recently posed this question to the filmmaker during a conversation about his films at the Crime Literature Festival in Dehradun, Anubhav shared an anecdote. He revealed that a senior filmmaker had recently advised him to “be less angry” and make lighter films. He said, “I know I’m that irritating man (who points out issues). I’d love to make funny films; I’d love to not see all this (the problems in society), but I don’t know how not to see all of this. I’d love to not see it.” He later added, “If you look at my films, they all complain (about the issues in our society), and all of these films end on a note of hope.”
Article 15
‘I DON’T BELIEVE THAT FILMS SHOW A MIRROR TO SOCIETY’Discussing Article 15, Aloke Lal told Anubhav, “When I was SP Barabanki, I distinctly recall the road shown in Article 15. In fact, the scene where Ayushmann’s character joins as ASP and is clueless about the caste system – that aspect of the film resonated with me. Do you think Article 15 and your other socially relevant films have an impact on society?”
Anubhav responded, “Personally, I think that when we make such films, they have no significant impact on society. People watch a film, discuss it for a while, and then forget all about it. I don’t believe that films show a mirror to society. All that films can do is trigger a discussion.”
‘Mulk is a love story’Anubhav shared that he has travelled a lot, and visited many countries, and found that there is no country in the world equal to India. He said, “Mujhe lagta hai ki ye duniya ka sabse behtareen mulk hai, uske baad bhi agar aap meri pichhli paanch filmein dekhein toh kaafi shikayatein hain. So I asked myself, ‘Tu shikayatein bahut karta hai.’ And then I thought that we also have complaints against our father, against our mother, against our school.” He elaborated, “Hum
Amitabh Bachchan ko dekh kar bade hue hain. Toh hum woh brooding lover hain jo ishq ka izhaar kam karte hain aur bolte hain – arey, pyaar toh hai, toh baar-baar batana kya?”
Talking about Mulk, Anubhav said, “When Mulk was being released, I said that it is a love story. It’s a love story between Hindus and Muslims – and in love stories, people fight.”

(MENAFN- Live Mint) In a video posted on Instagram, Padma Vibhushan tabla maestro
Zakir Hussain shared a serene moment of December winds and trees swaying in the breeze. The video had no added music, with the natural sound of the wind captured in the recording.
He captioned the post,“Just sharing a wonder moment.” In the video, the artist was saying,“Trees changing colours and gently swaying in the wind. It's so beautiful to watch. The movement is so graceful and so unbelievable.”
Watch the video here:
Just sharing a wonder moment.
Tabla maestro Zakir Hussain died at a hospital in San Francisco, his family said on Monday. Hussain died due to complications arising out of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, the family said in a statement. He was 73.
Hussain, who is regarded as the greatest tabla player of his generation, is survived by his wife, Antonia Minnecola and his daughters, Anisa Qureshi and Isabella Qureshi. Born on March 9, 1951, he is the son of legendary tabla master Ustad Alla Rakha.
"He leaves behind an extraordinary legacy cherished by countless music lovers around the globe, with an influence that will resonate for generations to come," the statement read, as reported by PTI.
Starting at the age of seven, he went on to collaborate with virtually all of India's iconic performers, including Ravi Shankar, Ali Akbar Khan, and Shivkumar Sharma, throughout his career. His groundbreaking work with Western musicians such as Yo-Yo Ma, Charles Lloyd, Béla Fleck, Edgar Meyer, Mickey Hart, and George Harrison brought Indian classical music to an international audience, cementing his status as a global cultural ambassador.

Archeological discoveries can reveal the brighter sides of humanity. Collecting tchotchkes, our ancestors potentially comforting or sheltering one another in the face of a cataclysmic disaster, or building owl toys for children show how caring we can be as a species. However, other findings can reveal our darker side.
That more bleak part of human nature can be found in the bones uncovered from an archeological site in Charterhouse Warren, Somerset, England. A team recently analyzed over 3,000 bones found there decades ago that date back to the Early Bronze Age. The remains of at least 37 individuals here were killed, butchered, and likely partially eaten before they were thrown down a shaft that is 49-feet-deep. The analysis is detailed in a study published December 15 in the journal Antiquity and represents the largest-scale example of interpersonal violence from British prehistory.
A rare and grisly find
While hundreds of human skeletons dating back between 2500 and 1500 BCE in the area, direct evidence of a violent conflict is quite rare to come by.
“We actually find more evidence for injuries to skeletons dating to the Neolithic period in Britain than the Early Bronze Age, so Charterhouse Warren stands out as something very unusual,” study co-author and University of Oxford archeologist Rick Schulting said in a statement. “It paints a considerably darker picture of the period than many would have expected.”
During the 1970s, the scattered bones of at least 37 individuals were discovered in the 49-feet-deep shaft. The bones belonged to a mixture of men, women, and children, which likely means they were representative of a community.
Searching for motivation–and a reason for cannibalism
The skulls have evidence of a violent death from blunt force trauma, unlike the majority of contemporary burials. Researchers from multiple institutions further analyzed the bones to try and learn more about how these people died. They found several cutmarks and fractures that occurred at or near the time of death on the bones. The team believes that this is evidence that they were intentionally butchered and may have been partly consumed.
To find clues to why people in Early Bronze Age Britain might cannibalize their dead, they looked at the nearby Palaeolithic site of Gough’s Cave in Cheddar Gorge. Evidence uncovered there suggests that cannibalism was likely a funeral rite in the area. However, Charterhouse Warren is a bit different. The evidence of a violent death with no indication of a fight or struggle implies that the victims were caught off guard. The team believes it is likely that they were all massacred and the butchering was done by their enemies.
[ Related: Bronze Age village was ‘pretty cozy’—until Britain’s Pompeii. ]
Abundant cattle bones have been found mixed in with the human bones suggests that people at Charterhouse Warren probably had enough to eat, so it is unlikely that they were killed strictly for food.
Instead, cannibalism may have been a way to “other” and dehumanize the deceased. The killers were likening their enemies to animals by eating their flesh and mixing their bones in with animal bones.
‘People in prehistory could match more recent atrocities’
The conflict was likely caused by social factors. Theft or insults may have led to tensions which then escalated out of proportion. Additionally, two of the children had evidence of plague in their teeth. The fear of such a deadly illness may have also exacerbated tensions. Scientists at the The Francis Crick Institute found these signs of plague at Charterhouse Warren in a 2023 study and they were a “completely unexpected” finding, according to Schulting. However, the team still does not know what–if any–impact plague had on this conflict.
As a whole, the discovery of such violence at Charterhouse Warren shows that in at least this instance, perceived slights and cycles of revenge could result in violent actions.
“Charterhouse Warren is one of those rare archaeological sites that challenges the way we think about the past,” said Schulting. “It is a stark reminder that people in prehistory could match more recent atrocities and shines a light on a dark side of human behaviour. That it is unlikely to have been a one-off event makes it even more important that its story is told.”

Fiji suspected alcohol poisoning: two of four Australians to return home after hospitalisation
Two of four Australians who were hospitalised after a suspected mass alcohol poisoning in Fiji are returning home as investigations focus on “many” pina coladas served at a luxury resort.
The Australians had fallen ill while staying at Warwick Fiji, a five-star hotel on the Coral Coast, about halfway between Nadi and Suva.
The deputy prime minister and minister for tourism, Viliame Gavoka, said authorities do not believe the incident was a result of deliberate action.
Only two of the initial seven people who fell sick remain in hospital. Both are in a stable condition and undergoing treatment.
Of the seven, one person was discharged from Sigatoka Hospital while the other six were transferred to Lautoka Hospital.
Gavoka said the victims had been drinking pina coladas at one of the resort’s five bars.
“In the same bar, there were many pina coladas served that evening. And with this resort, there are five bars altogether … so in the other four bars, pina colada was also served. No ill effects.”
At a press conference on Monday afternoon, Gavoka said toxicology results would help officials “understand what really happened”.
“We don’t think anything untoward happened.”
He decsribed the tourism industry in Fiji as “a very caring one” and “we have no fear that anyone would be doing anything untoward.
“That would be really in the extreme … we don’t believe it’s possible in Fiji.”
Gavoka said the bar tender serving the drinks had 16 years of experience and is “someone who is known for their caring attitude”.
The Warwick Fiji is “very highly rated” with high standards, he said.
The government is working with the resort and police to investigate the matter.
A spokesperson for the resort confirmed the victims were staying at the Warwick, but stressed that it did “not have conclusive details” yet.
“Please rest assured that we are taking this matter very seriously and are currently conducting a thorough investigation,” the spokesperson said.
“We do not have conclusive details but we are committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our guests.”
The father and grandfather of two of the Australians, David Sandoe, told Sky News his daughter Tanya and her daughter Georgia had been discharged from hospital and received confirmation they were medically fit to travel.
“Like everyone else when this news broke we all thought back to what recently happened in Asia which sends shivers down your spine, so we’re so grateful and very fortunate,” he said.
It was a horrific experience, he said, describing a late-night call from his daughter telling him she had been taken to hospital as “quite something else”.
Georgia, in her late teens, suffered a seizure after drinking a cocktail, he said.
She had a pre-existing condition that affected her immune system which was a major concern, Sandoe said, but the fear was quelled when he spoke to doctors in Fiji.
Gavoka said the incident was localised to one bar at one resort that was being thoroughly investigated and it was the only reported case in recent memory.
“While we understand the concern, we want to emphasise that the tourism experience in Fiji is typically very safe and we have acted immediately to try and discover the cause of what made these guests at this resort fall ill.”
Australia has revised its travel advice for Fiji, warning travellers to “be alert to the potential risks around drink spiking and methanol poisoning through consuming alcoholic drinks”.
It comes after two Australians died in Laos from a suspected mass ethanol poisoning.

Steph Curry, Klay Thompson Team Up for a 3-Point Record on Opposite Teams
Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson combined for nearly 6,000 three-pointers as teammates on the Golden State Warriors across 13 seasons. They broke records, including becoming the team to sink the most threes in a season in 2022-23.
Now, they're still putting threes up, just on different teams. While Curry remains with the Warriors, Klay Thompson signed with the Dallas Mavericks in free agency after spending 10-plus years with Golden State, including back-to-back years where he missed full seasons rehabbing injuries.
Sunday night, they set another record together, pushing the Warriors and Mavs to combine for the most threes in a single game (48). Golden State dropped 27, Dallas 21. Naturally, Curry and Thompson led the way with 14 between the two of them, exactly seven apiece.
Despite landing threes on incredible 50% efficiency, Golden State lost 143-133 to Dallas off a 45-point triple-double performance from Luka Doncic to go with Thompson's 29 points and Kyrie Irving's 21. Dallas converted on 51.2% of its threes and shot 59.8% overall from the field.

He expressed that he is praying for the child's speedy recovery. He mentioned that due to ongoing legal proceedings, he has been advised not to visit the child or his family. However, he remains committed to supporting their medical and family needs.
Allu continued, “I wish him a speedy recovery, and I look forward to meeting him and his family at the earliest”.

Dallas Mavericks Starter Mocks Steph Curry After Beating Warriors
The Golden State Warriors had a phenomenal offensive game Sunday night, knocking in 27 of their 54 three-point attempts and seeing four players reach 20 or more points. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough as the Warriors fell 143-133 to the Dallas Mavericks.
Dallas was led by a strong performance by Luka Doncic, netting a 45-point triple-double to go with Klay Thompson's 29 points in his second return to the Bay Area. After taking a lead in the first quarter, the Mavericks didn't look back and left town with their 17th win.
Dallas forward PJ Washington also found a way to poke fun at Warriors guard Stephen Curry, displaying some end-of-the-game shenanigans.
With the game wrapped up as Dallas' starters headed to the bench, Washington was shown hitting Curry's signature "night night" celebration to his teammates. Washington and his teammates were seen exchanging laughs as a result.
It's no surprise that with the popularity of Curry and his signature celebration, opposing players such as Washington want to mock it when they get the best of him and the Warriors. In 35 minutes of action, Washington finished the game with 13 points, four rebounds, one block, and one steal.
As if this gesture couldn't be any worse, the Warriors' loss made history as the most threes made in a loss in NBA history. Golden State will now enjoy a four-day break until they travel to Memphis for a contest with the Grizzlies and a likely debut for Dennis Schroder.

'Yellowstone' finale recap: John Dutton's funeral, another death and a ranch sale
Spoilers ahead for the Season 5 finale. Stop reading if you don't want to know.
Patriarch John Dutton (Kevin Costner) received the touching funeral he deserved in Sunday's Season 5 "Yellowstone" finale. The ornery former Montana governor can rest in peace in his polished wood coffin, because the ranch he fought to preserve will remain unspoiled and never be turned into a dreaded real-estate development.
There were many cowboy goodbyes in the apparent "Yellowstone" series finale as the Yellowstone Ranch is sold to the original Native Americans who owned it generations ago.
But no farewell is as dramatic as the violent death of Attorney General Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley), who finally receives tough justice for his role in his father's death in a fashion that is only surprising by its level of brutality.
It might not be the end: Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) and John's daughter Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) will reportedly star in their own spinoff series. But here's how the Paramount Network OG series said goodbye.
John Dutton was buried on Yellowstone Ranch with his ancestors
The final six-episode run started with John Dutton's murder by professional hitmen, and his body examined on a morgue table after Costner left the series following a protracted squabble with creator and executive producer Taylor Sheridan. But this small funeral is perfect "Yellowstone": attended only by his family, the bunkhouse crew and two close friends. Jamie isn't invited, and has no idea it's going on.
Rip and company even dig John's burial hole in the plot surrounded by generations of Duttons and next to John's wife. Each attendee places a white rose on the casket to say final farewells. Beth, who is plotting her final move, leans close to her beloved father's casket and vows with a whisper, "I will avenge you." Then she staggers away.
Rip gets the best funeral lines, dismissing the preacher with, "I think we’re about prayed out. If he ain’t in heaven, then he ain’t going. Or there ain’t one."
Beth kills her brother Jamie after her father's funeral
Jamie seems to be in the clear after making the speech of his life to assure the public he will find the governor's killer and that he had absolutely nothing to do with his father's death, and that his lawyer/gilrfriend Sarah Atwood (Dawn Olivieri) hired the hitmen. But Jamie can't even pour a victory drink at home, because Beth is waiting. She slams her brother with a tire iron and sprays his face with bear spray. It's a savage battle: Jamie regains the brawling advantage and foolishly lets it go in typical villain style.
Just before Jamie can kill Beth, Rip charges in and opens a big old can of what-for on Jamie. But Beth demands the final honor of killing her longtime nemesis: She stabs her brother in the chest.
"Look at me," bloody Beth tells the dying Jamie. "I'm the last thing you'll ever see."
Dead Jamie is dumped in the family's "train station," where generations of Dutton enemies have been tossed into eternity. Rip soaks Jamie's car in gasoline and tosses a match inside. It's the perfect "Yellowstone" revenge, as Beth convincingly tells police that Jamie beat her and fled after she confronted her brother about his role in their father's death.
The police will be looking for Jamie for a long time. But both Jamie and Atwood's firm, Market Equities, will take the fall for everything.
Kayce sells Yellowstone Ranch for $1.25 an acre and declares victory
It was Kayce who cryptically suggested the Yellowstone sale at the end of last week's episode, and the hard-headed financial wonder Beth loved the idea. In Sunday's episode, Kayce sells the largest ranch in Montana to Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham), the chairman of the Confederated Tribes of Broken Rock and leader of the Broken Rock Reservation.
So the land will return to the Native American tribe from which the Dutton family took it. In another ironic twist, Kayce sells it for the ridiculously low price of $1.25 an acre, the original price his ancestors paid. Kayce and his family take a little land section for themselves to live quietly.
Rainwater vows that the land will never be developed and that the Dutton family buried there will be protected. “Your people are buried on that land, and so are mine. It’s sacred, and that’s how we will treat it.” Rainwater says. "So your family forever has a home here."
Rainwater makes the land a wilderness area where nothing can be built, and no motorized vehicles are allowed. Dutton's ancestors are happy with the decision. Elsa Dutton (Isabel May), the doomed narrator of "Yellowstone" prequel series "1883," makes a surprise voice return to bless the decision. "Land cannot be truly 'owned' by people," she says, noting the Duttons were merely stewards.
Where do Rip and Beth end up in 'Yellowstone'?
Beth recovers from her injuries and meets Rip, who is working on their new ranch in Texas. Her father's death avenged, Beth suggests the two head into town where there's a great new bar totally free of dreaded tourists.
The two head for drinks to celebrate a new life ― and most likely a new series.

Dallas Mavericks guard Klay Thompson scored 29 points in a win over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night. Spending 13 years in Golden State, this was Thompson’s second game at Chase Center against his former team since signing in Dallas this offseason.
While Thompson also played well in his first game against Golden State, he played even better on Sunday, helping Dallas secure the victory. Taking in a moment on the court after the game, Thompson seemed to be soaking in all the emotions that come with playing his former team in the place he made so may memories.
Speaking on this moment after the game, Thompson revealed what was going through his mind.
“I just wanted to take that moment for myself because I spent a lot of days in here especially when I couldn’t play… Just to take in the crowd. I just took that moment for myself because I worked so hard to get back to feeling like this. Feel like I owed myself a second just to soak it all in.”
Thompson added that this game was easier than his first in Golden State.
“Especially not seeing the captain’s hats,” Thompson mentioned on why this game was easier.
This win felt good for Thompson, and it was one the Mavericks needed. As for the Warriors, their struggles continued in this loss, as they fell to 14-11.

Commentator Isa Guha sorry for calling cricketer 'primate'
Cricket commentator Isa Guha has apologised for calling Indian bowler Jasprit Bumrah the "most valuable primate" during the third Test against Australia.
She made the remark while commentating for Fox Sports in Brisbane on Sunday after Bumrah got India off to a stunning start with two quick wickets.
Her comment sparked a social media backlash which noted the word's history as a racial slur.
On Monday, Guha apologised on air: "Yesterday in commentary I used a word that can be interpreted in a number of different ways... I'd like to apologise for any offence caused."
Guha, who is also a BBC commentator and former England cricketer, had been speaking live on air with colleagues Brett Lee and Allan Border when the controversy happened.
"Bumrah, today: five overs, 2-4. So, that's the tone, and that's what you want from the ex-skipper," Lee said.
Guha responded: "Well, he's the MVP, isn't he? [The] most valuable primate, Jasprit Bumrah. He is the one that's going to do all the talking for India, and why so much focus was on him in the build-up to this Test match, and whether he would be fit."
In her apology on Monday, she said: "I set myself really high standards when it comes to empathy and respect for others and if you listen to the full transcript, I only meant the highest praise for one of India's greatest players and someone that I admire greatly as well," she said.
She said she had been "trying to frame the enormity of his achievements and I have chosen the wrong word and for that I am deeply sorry".
"As someone who is also of South Asian heritage, I hope people would recognise there was no other intention or malice there," she said.
Former India coach Ravi Shastri, a fellow Fox Sports commentator, commended her for the apology and urged India to "move on".
"People are entitled to make mistakes. We are all human. To own up and say, 'I'm sorry' … it takes courage. She's done it.
"As far as the Indian team, there is a Test on and they want to focus on the game," he said.
Bumrah continued his achievements on Monday, taking his sixth wicket of the innings.
Racial slurs are not unheard of in international cricket.
During the Indian team's tour of Australia in 2007 and 2008, Australian cricketer Andrew Symonds alleged India's Harbhajan Singh had called him "nothing but a monkey".
An independent report into the sport published last year found that racism, sexism, classism and elitism were "widespread" in the English and Welsh game.

Allu Arjun’s grandmother was deeply moved when the Pushpa 2: The Rule star returned home from jail on December 14. He was arrested and released on interim bail after a woman died in a theatre stampede during the film's premiere.
A video shared on social media shows Allu Arjun’s grandmother performing the ‘nazar utarna’ ritual as he returns from jail. The clip captures Allu Arjun touching her feet, after which they share an emotional hug. She then wards off the evil eye by performing the ritual.
Earlier, another video shared on social media showed Allu Arjun hugging his wife, Sneha, as he returned from jail. Sneha became emotional and teary-eyed upon seeing her husband.
Allu Arjun was arrested on December 13, 2024, in connection with the death of a woman at the Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad during a screening of Pushpa 2: The Rule earlier this month. The incident occurred as large crowds gathered to see Allu Arjun, who was attending the event with music director Devi Sri Prasad. The chaos led to the collapse of the theatre’s main gate, causing a stampede. A 35-year-old woman tragically died, and her 9-year-old son was severely injured.
Allu Arjun was taken from his residence and placed in 14-day judicial custody. He was later granted interim bail for four weeks on a personal bond of Rs 50,000. However, due to delays in paperwork, he ended up spending one night in jail.
After his release, Allu Arjun expressed deep remorse, describing the woman’s death as a "very unfortunate" incident. He thanked everyone for their support and offered his condolences to the family, emphasizing that such an event should never have happened. He assured that he would support the family in every way possible.
On the work front, Allu Arjun is basking in the success of Pushpa 2: The Rule, one of the most anticipated films of the year. The movie, which also stars Rashmika Mandanna, has received an overwhelming response from audiences and has already crossed Rs 1000 crore at the box office.

Klay Thompson’s Performance in Warriors-Mavericks Goes Viral
NBA star Klay Thompson was drafted 11th overall by the Golden State Warriors in 2011, before spending the first 13 years of his career there. In the 2024 offseason, the four-time NBA champion decided to move on, joining the Dallas Mavericks in free agency.
Thompson's first game back in Golden State was a huge deal for the Warriors organization, as Thompson dropped 22 points on 6-12 shooting from deep in his first-ever game against his former squad. The Warriors spoiled Thompson's homecoming, grabbing a three-point win. Now, Thompson returned to Golden State for the second time on Sunday, leading the Mavericks to a massive road win.
Of course, the highlight of Dallas' night was superstar Luka Doncic going for a 45-point triple-double, but Thompson certainly was feeling himself with a strong performance. Klay dropped 29 points on 9-14 shooting from the field and 7-11 from deep, really showing the Warriors crowd what they were missing.
Thompson's performance went viral, with several big accounts sharing highlights from his performance.
Both Mavericks and Warriors fans took to social media to talk about Klay's blazing-hot performance against his former squad.
Via MFFL Nation: "KLAY FREAKING THOMPSON. WE ARE SO HERE."
Via Mavs Film Room: "Ladies and gentlemen, Klay Thompson."
Via SJ: "very happy that klay holds grudges"
Via WarriorsMuse: "Team should know better than to leave a red-hot Klay open. But the thing is, Luka has 45!! Dominant two man game."
Via lynz: "It’s so beautiful seeing Klay Thompson silence a Golden State crowd"
In his first game back to Golden State, Thompson did not seem to care too much about his former squad, but a 29-point outburst in a commanding win is certainly a confidence booster.

Italy's Counter-Migration Laws Force MSF to End Rescue Vessel Ops
Italy's counter-migration policies have forced the migrant rescue vessel Geo Barents to leave the Central Mediterranean route, operator Doctors Without Borders (MSF) confirmed Friday.
MSF and its peer NGOs have operated a small fleet of rescue vessels in the central Mediterranean for years, finding unseaworthy migrant craft and saving the occupants before or during a sinking. Their stated mission is to reduce the route's fatality rate and to save the migrants from further abuse in Libya's notorious detention centers. In Italy, however, these rescue NGOs are often viewed as facilitators of migration, as the rescue vessels deliver hundreds of foreign nationals to Italian shores every time they dock.
In January 2023, the Italian Parliament passed a controversial counter-migration law sponsored by the government of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. The law requires Good Samaritan rescue vessels to head to port immediately after each rescue, foregoing additional rescues even if they are in the immediate vicinity of people in distress. The law also allows authorities to designate faraway ports for disembarkation, effectively taking each rescue vessel off-station for days by making it transit from the Libyan EEZ to northern Italy after each rescue. The captains and NGOs are liable for fines of up to $50,000 and vessel impoundment for violations. Italy has vigorously enforced these requirements, repeatedly detaining rescue vessels for weeks at a time.
For the past year, rescue NGOs have complained that Italy's counter-migration measures - along with port state detentions for alleged deficiencies - have impeded their work. The NGO Doctors Without Borders (MSF), which operates the rescue vessel Geo Barents, reported Friday that it will have to withdraw from its at-sea rescue mission because of the impact of repeated detentions.
"Italian laws and policies have made it impossible to continue with the current operational model," MSF confirmed.
In the past two years, Geo Barents has been detained four times and has spent a total of 160 days held in port, MSF reported. When not in port, the ship has spent about half of its operating hours transiting to and from officially-designated ports in northern Italy, more than 800 nautical miles away from the rescue zone.
MSF says that it has rescued about 94,000 people in the Mediterranean since 2015, including about 12,700 people in 190 operations aboard Geo Barents. The NGO's leaders say that they will look for ways to return to this mission in the future, but for now they are suspending rescue operations.
"After careful consideration, we have come to the conclusion that it is untenable to operate the Geo Barents under such absurd and senseless Italian laws and policies," says Juan Matias Gil, MSF search and rescue representative. "The rescue capacity of humanitarian vessels is significantly under-utilized and actively undermined by the Italian authorities."

Geno Smith injury update: Seahawks QB questionable to return with knee injury
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith headed to the locker room with an injury halfway through the third quarter of Seattle's "Sunday Night Football" clash with the Green Bay Packers.
Smith took a low hit from a couple of Packers defenders after throwing the ball away on a first-down pass attempt. After he remained on the field for a few extra moments, he received medical attention from the Seattle training staff.
Though Smith walked off of the field under his own power, he entered the blue medical tent shortly after getting to the sideline. A few minutes later, NBC's broadcast showed the veteran quarterback walking back to the Seahawks' locker room.
The Seahawks had designated Smith as questionable to return with a knee injury, but the quarterback did not return to the game. Backup quarterback Sam Howell replaced Smith for Seattle.
PACKERS VS. SEAHAWKS: Score, highlights from NFL Week 15 Sunday Night Football
Geno Smith injury update
Seattle head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters after the game that the team will run tests on Smith's knee on Monday.
"Structurally, it looks like it's OK," Macdonald said, "but we gotta get it imaged."
Macdonald also said it's unclear as of Sunday how long Smith's injury will keep him sidelined. He and the team hope to get those questions answered with the imaging they plan to conduct on Monday.
Smith ultimately never returned to the game on Sunday night.
The Seahawks had declared Smith questionable to return to their "Sunday Night Football" game against the Packers with a knee injury.
The 34-year-old suffered the injury when he took a hit to the legs from a couple of Green Bay defenders. Smith had just thrown away a pass while under pressure when the Packers' pass-rush got home.
Smith went back to the locker room after a brief trip to the blue medical tent. He returned to the Seahawks' sideline a few minutes later, but NBC's broadcast showed him grimacing and shaking his head.

Commanders Comment on Clock Error vs. Saints
The Washington Commanders are thanking their lucky stars that an error with the clock didn't cost them in their 20-19 win against the New Orleans Saints in Week 15.
The Saints were driving down the field with no timeouts and converted a 4th & 3 with just seconds to go. Saints tight end Foster Moreau was tackled just short of the goal line and the rest of the offense tried to hurry up in order to spike the ball with no timeouts.
However, the clock magically stopped with nine seconds left, giving the Saints one more play than they likely would have had. The Saints scored on a touchdown with three seconds to go, making it a one-point game. Then, a two-point attempt failed, giving the Commanders the win.
“The covering official mistakenly stopped the clock in that situation," referee Shawn Hochuli said after the game. "The clock should not have stopped.”
Commanders coach Dan Quinn also had something to say about it after the game.
"I am absolutely taking the high road," Quinn said. "Those three seconds are critical, let's just say that. We're on to [next opponent] Philadelphia."
The Commanders will face the Philadelphia Eagles at home in Week 16.

(MENAFN- IANS) Chennai, Dec 16 (IANS) The weather department has predicted heavy rain in the coastal districts of Tamil Nadu starting Tuesday.
The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) stated that a low-pressure area over the southeast Bay of Bengal is likely to become more pronounced and move west-northwestwards towards the Tamil Nadu coast in the next two days, bringing rainfall from Tuesday.
The low-pressure area is expected to form under the influence of an upper air cyclonic circulation over the south Andaman Sea and adjoining areas, including the southeast Bay of Bengal, the weather department said.
The RMC forecast heavy rain at many places over coastal Tamil Nadu and Puducherry with thunderstorms and lightning at isolated locations.
Heavy to very heavy rain is expected at isolated places over Cuddalore, Mayiladuthurai, Nagapattinam, and Tiruvarur districts, along with the Karaikal area.
The weather department also predicted heavy rain at isolated places in Chengalpattu, Villupuram, Kallakurichi, Ariyalur, Perambalur, Tiruchirappalli, Thanjavur, and Pudukkottai districts, as well as Puducherry.
On Wednesday, light to moderate rain is likely to happen across Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal, with thunderstorms and lightning at isolated locations, according to the RMC.
Heavy to very heavy rain is forecast at isolated places in Cuddalore and Villupuram districts, as well as Puducherry.
The RMC also predicted rain at isolated places in Tiruvallur, Chennai, Chengalpattu, Kancheepuram, Tiruvannamalai, Kallakurichi, Mayiladuthurai, Nagapattinam, and Tiruvarur districts.
During the ongoing northeast monsoon season, Tamil Nadu has recorded 14 per cent excess rainfall, with 447 mm against the average of 393 mm.
Chennai has received 845 mm, which is 16 per cent above average, while Coimbatore recorded a significant 47 per cent increase in rainfall.
Fishermen have been advised to avoid venturing into the sea, and those already at sea have been urged to return to shore immediately.
This alert follows the devastation caused by Cyclone Fengal, which impacted Tamil Nadu and Puducherry between November 29 and December 1.
Cyclone Fengal brought intense rains to Tamil Nadu, followed by heavy to very heavy rainfall due to a low-pressure area over the south Bay of Bengal.
The cyclone and associated rains resulted in the loss of 12 lives and inundated 2,11,139 hectares of agricultural and horticultural land, causing significant losses to farmers. Infrastructure damage from Cyclone Fengal was extensive, including 1,649 kilometres of electric conductors, 23,664 electric poles, 997 transformers, 9,576 km of roads, 1,847 culverts, 417 tanks, numerous houses and huts were also damaged.
Villupuram, Tiruvannamalai, and Kallakurichi districts recorded over 50 cm of rainfall in a single day, equivalent to an entire season's average.
This led to severe flooding and extensive crop damage. The Tamil Nadu government reported that 69 lakh families and 1.5 crore individuals were affected by the disaster.
In the aftermath, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, requesting Rs 2,000 crore as interim relief from the National Disaster Response Fund. The state government submitted an initial damage assessment report, estimating a need for Rs 2,475 crore for relief and reconstruction. The central government sanctioned Rs 944 crore as interim relief for the affected regions.

Peru's New Chinese Megaport Reveals a Refined Belt and Road
China’s gain is America’s loss as deal wraps up control of key Latin American port for more than half a century.
[By Selwyn Parker]
China should be extremely grateful to the Peruvian government of Dina Boluarte. Courtesy of her Congress, which rewrote the rules of foreign ownership to make it happen after a long dispute with the country’s ports authority, China’s state-owned Cosco shipping giant has wrapped up exclusive use of Peru’s brand-new Chancay deep-water megaport for up to 60 years.
Numerous other benefits come with the deal. For a relatively small investment of about US$1.6 billion – its share of the total $3.6 billion cost – Cosco has a 60 per cent stake. China also gets an important new connection between China and Latin America in the form of two new container shipping routes.
Simultaneously, the logistics costs of China’s exports into the region will fall significantly, and the revenues of the operator, Cosco Ports, will increase. There will also be further opportunities for Chinese connections in the region, as President Xi Jinping made a point of mentioning when he officially opened the port in mid-November.
Once again, China’s Belt and Road strategy has beaten the United States to the punch. Located 80 kilometres from the capital Lima, the port symbolises America’s continuing and costly neglect of Latin America. It says much that Peru, a nation of 38 million, already has a substantially bigger trade with China ($36 billion) than it does with the United States ($21 billion) when it should, of course, be the other way around.
American neglect
Outgoing President Joe Biden’s state visits to Peru and Brazil in November are only his second to South America during his entire term. As the Atlantic Council points out: “At both stops he will seek to regain US momentum but without much to offer following Democratic Party losses last week.” Donald Trump made just one visit to this region of 33 countries in his last term and that was to Argentina.
Meantime, the port is a classic Belt and Road operation that takes more than it gives. While it promises to boost Peru’s exports into the Pacific, deliver $4.5 billion a year in revenues, and create 8,000 jobs, its construction was mired in controversy. Peru’s Ojo Público news outlet notes that Cosco and Volcan, a local mining group that shared construction, were able to seize a large maritime area that was supposed to be earmarked for defence, start work without any environmental studies (landslides during construction of a 1.8-kilometre-long tunnel buried homes), and bought up publicly owned land at less than a dollar a square metre. Compensation claims of local protest groups “were met with indifference and harassment”.
Senior US military are also concerned. Last year, General Laura Richardson of the US Southern Command warned that China is “on the 20-yard line of our homeland”, citing Chancay’s potential to be a dual-use facility, accommodating military vessels. If that were to happen, Cosco Ports would be in the middle.
“If a conflict were to break out in, for example, Taiwan or the South China Sea, this global network of 38 Cosco-operated ports could pose a serious logistical challenge for foreign militaries looking to move ships or supplies to the Indo-Pacific”, warns the Atlantic Council.
And it’s now 39 ports. In October, Cosco bought a substantial stake in Thailand’s largest container port, Laem Chabang, for US$110 million, according to its website. Extremely profitable according to its latest accounts, Cosco claims a 28 per cent profit on a fast-growing income, about a quarter from its overseas ports. As of late 2024, Cosco was building and/or operating ports in strategic waterways from the Aegean Sea to the Panama Canal.
The Atlantic Council believes it’s high time Western countries stepped in with their own capital projects in order to “counter malign Chinese (and Russian) influence in Latin America and the Caribbean”. These should be “attractive and affordable alternatives for regional economic development” that would be based on investment in projects that would serve as alternatives to Beijing-backed initiatives. The problem may be that Western-style capitalism cannot compete with China’s state-managed version. For instance, no American firm bid for the major expansion of Colombia’s Bogota metro, while three Chinese firms did.
Meantime, as the Lowy Institute’s latest Pacific Aid Map shows, China is refining its Belt and Road strategy in the Pacific through “a resurgence in new project commitments [that] signal a revival in Beijing’s engagement with the region”. In concrete terms, China is targeting specific countries with big-ticket grants rather than loans while handing out “high-frequency smaller grants administered through its embassies”. The Solomon Islands’ Constituency Development Fund has, for example, banked “a large-scale direct budget transfer” from Beijing, while Kiribati’s Social Stability Fund is a recipient of a substantial transfer, also courtesy of Beijing. As the Institute explains, each of those loans is “characterised by weak accountability mechanisms”. (No reference to these grants can be found on either country’s official government sites.)
Death knell
Peru’s new port may mark the death knell of another epic project – a gigantic, 125-kilometer-long canal through Nicaragua that would rival the Panama Canal. Originally mooted more than a century ago, it was revived in 2013 by a shadowy Chinese company called HKND that committed to building the canal before 2020. “World trade has been so developed today that it needs a new canal,” said its promoter Mr Wang Jing. Progress went as far as a 50-year right issued by the Nicaraguan government, renewable for a further 50 years, but little has been heard since.
Meantime, Peru’s new port expands Chinese economic influence deep into the country and beyond. Very much designed for the future, it can handle a million containers, six million tons of bulk cargo and, in a big boost for China’s automotive sector, 160,000 vehicles. A 1.8-kilometer-long tunnel leads straight to the Pan-American Highway. Next up will be a regional distribution hub that will essentially warehouse Chinese-made goods destined for South America.
In short, an economic beachhead for China in Latin America to the cost of the United States.

Locker Room Buzz: Lions Have Kicked 'Everyone's Ass' Last 11 Weeks
Here is a collection of quotes from Detroit Lions players and coaches following their 48-42 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 15.
On whether he thinks the Bills were great or if the Lions have serious defensive issues:
“No, I just feel like we didn’t play at the same level that that team did today. That’s how I feel, and that’s why, honestly, I put this on me. I didn’t, I just didn’t feel like I had them ready to go, not like we’ve been. You can get away with, maybe if you’re not quite all the way to a 10, but not against the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs or Green Bay Packers, Minnesota, Philadelphia—whoever they are. It’s not going to be good enough, and it wasn’t good enough today.”
On the importance of not overreacting to a loss:
“We don’t, yeah no. We’ll be just fine. I’m sure there will be a ton of stuff written about the sky falling, but no, internally, we’re good. Yeah, we had won how many in a row up to that point, but it sucks to lose. We would’ve loved to win every game out, all the way through the Super Bowl and I hope we can look back on this one as a good learning lesson for us and move on and use some of the stuff that we learned in this game to help us win these next three before we hit the Playoffs.”
On if the defense felt like it was trying to claw back the entire game after a slow start:
“Nah, I wouldn’t say it feels like that. It’s one of those things where you look at, ‘What did we do wrong?’ On the plays that they scored, it wasn’t something where they necessarily went out there and won a 1-on-1 matchup or they went out there and did, it was on us. Aaron Glenn does a great job of putting us in positions to succeed, and we just have to go out there and execute the game plan.”
On his touchdown catch in the second quarter:
"I was trying to — the whole design of the play is the timing of it all. So getting the timing right, and once the ball is in the air, catch the ball, secure it. And then from there, they took (tight end) Brock (Wright). Turned around, there was one guy coming at me, so I lowered the shoulder on him."
On the importance of moving forward after Sunday's loss:
"He's a great player, dynamic. He can hurt you with his legs, his arm. They got us today, but we're gonna regroup. It's a long season, and the good news is we're still in control of our own destiny. We've got to get coached up and get back to work."
On how the team will respond after losing for the first time since Week 2:
"It'll be fine, just can't let it snowball. That's really the thing. People get beat every Sunday. So we just can't let it snowball. We still are what our record says we are, we're 12-2. We've got a division opponent next week, we've got to go out there and get it done."
Studs and Duds: Goff Makes NFL History, Defense Destroyed
On if this loss will elevate their urgency:
"I think there should be urgency every Sunday. We're getting closer and closer to the playoffs, we've already got a spot there. So I think the urgency, if it wasn't, we should have it high. I think we do have it high. We just lost man. I think that's what it is. It happens in this league. S**t, we've been kicking everybody's a** for 12 weeks. This week, it happened to us."
On the importance of bouncing back next week against Chicago:
"We've got three games left. We're gonna take it one game at a time. We know the opportunity of taking the one seed, just the benefit of playing here at Ford Field, the home-field advantage. Our fans are tremendous. Of course there's tremendous urgency, but there is every week in the NFL. Every game is a tough game and everybody's gonna give you their best."
On if he wants to see the Bills again in February:
"Of course. You always want payback, especially when a team gets the best of you. But that's the competitor in me saying that."
On whether playing a team like the Bills can teach them what they need to improve upon for the playoffs:
"As we watch the film there's always things you can learn from playing the great football teams. But we're gonna watch the film, we're gonna evaluate us and we're gonna go out there and do what we do best, play our style of football."

Jordan Love throws for 2 TDs and Packers beat Seahawks 30-13 as Seattle QB Geno Smith injures knee
SEATTLE (AP) — Jordan Love threw two touchdown passes to Romeo Doubs and the Green Bay Packers ended Seattle's four-game winning streak with a 30-13 victory Sunday night over the Seahawks, who lost quarterback Geno Smith to a knee injury.
Josh Jacobs ran for 94 yards and a touchdown for the Packers (10-4), who have won eight of 10. Jacobs finished with 136 yards from scrimmage and Brandon McManus kicked three field goals.
After Doubs made an impressive grab in the back of the end zone late in the fourth quarter for his second TD, Packers fans at Lumen Field chanted, “Go Pack Go!”
Smith was hit low by Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper in the third quarter and threw his helmet to the ground after he limped off the field. He was replaced by Sam Howell, who had just one previous snap for the Seahawks (8-6).
Smith completed 15 of 19 passes for 149 yards, and Howell went 5 of 14 for 24 yards and a pick.
The Packers' two losses over their last 10 have come to NFC North-leading Detroit, including a 34-31 defeat on Dec. 5, meaning the division title is likely out of reach. Green Bay has yet to clinch a playoff spot.
The Seahawks fell into a first-place tie with the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC West, and Smith's injury could impact their chances of winning the division.
Love finished 20 of 27 for 229 yards, and Doubs had three catches for 40 yards.
Smith was intercepted in the end zone in the first half and the Seahawks trailed 20-3 at the break. Green Bay scored on all four of its first-half possessions.
An unnecessary roughness penalty on Seattle's Riq Woolen that put the Packers on the Seattle 28 on their initial possession. Jacobs' 1-yard TD run capped the drive.
The Packers went up 14-0 on Love's 13-yard pass to Doubs, who dragged two defenders with him into the end zone before waving at a television camera.
The Seahawks closed the gap on Jason Myers' 48-yard field goal, but McManus answered with a 38-yarder for the Packers.
The Seahawks drove to the Green Bay 12, but Smith's pass intended for Noah Fant was intercepted by in the end zone by Carrington Valentine, the first career pick for the second-year defensive back.
It was Smith's 13th interception this season and fourth in the end zone.
Woolen was flagged for pass interference on Doubs on Green Bay's final series of the half, but the Packers settled for McManus' 21-yard field goal.
The Seahawks showed life early in the fourth quarter on Zach Charbonnet's 24-yard touchdown run that made it 23-13. Three plays later, Doubs put it away with his pretty 22-yard throw to Doubs, who got his elbow down in the back of the end zone.
Green Bay, making its first trip to Lumen Field since 2018, had not won at Seattle since 2008.
Injuries
Packers: LB Quay Walker (ankle) left in the first half and did not return. All-Pro CB Jaire Alexander (knee) was inactive for a fourth straight game.
Seahawks: RB Kenneth Walker III did not play. C Olu Oluwatimi injured his right knee in the first half and his return was doubtful.
Up next
Packers: Host New Orleans on Monday, Dec. 23.
Seahawks: Host Minnesota next Sunday.

Mike Tirico Assures ‘Sunday Night Football’ Fans Drones in Seattle Were Planned
The Green Bay Packers went on the road in Week 15 to play the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football. Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth were on the call for NBC and as they came back from commercial early in the fourth quarter, Mike Tirico mentioned the drones.
Don't worry, he wasn't reaching for a reference or anything. There was literally a drone halftime show during Sunday's game. If you were ever going to talk about the drones during a football game, this was the it.
"I know drones have been in the news," Tirico said. "This is a planned and a fabulous drone show here to help honor the 40th anniversary of the retirement of the number 12 by the Seahawks to honor their fans. The Legion of Boom, as they look back through history, and a thank you to the fans affectionately known as The 12s."
In case you were worried the increased drone activity that may or may not exist in New Jersey had made its way to Seattle so a mysterious entity could surveil the Packers and Seahawks, well, first of all, you aren't the first person to make that connection—or joke.
But as Tirico pointed out, this show was planned. And fabulous. So nothing to worry about here. For now.

Josh Allen puts an end to Detroit Lions winning streak
Josh Allen threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more as the Buffalo Bills ended the Detroit Lions 11-match winning streak.
The Bills quarterback threw for 362 yards as he steered the AFC East champions to a 48-42 win for an eighth win in nine games as they moved to 11-3.
Opposite number Jared Goff matched his career best with five touchdown passes, but could not keep pace with the Bills offence.
The Lions, who drop to 12-2, have clinched at least a wildcard berth in the playoffs but defeat means the Minnesota Vikings will move alongside them at the top of the NFC North with victory over the Chicago Bears on Monday.
The Philadelphia Eagles also moved to 12-2 in the race for the top seed in the NFC as they beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-13.
Jalen Hurts threw for two touchdowns and went over from short range himself as the Eagles won a franchise-best 10th consecutive game.
The Steelers had earlier clinched a playoff spot due to losses for the Miami Dolphins and Indianapolis Colts, but fell a game behind the Bills in the seeding race.
They are chasing the Kansas City Chiefs, who had quarterback Patrick Mahomes forced off with an apparent ankle injury in the fourth quarter of a 21-7 victory over the Cleveland Browns.
With his team leading by 14 points, Mahomes came down awkwardly from a jump and got caught underneath two opposition players and limped to the sidelines after a pause. Initial x-rays revealed no break.
Mahomes had gone 19-of-38 for 159 yards and two touchdowns before he was replaced by Carson Wentz.
The Chiefs had already secured their play-off spot and clinched the AFC West title, but are still pushing for top seeding in the post-season.
Baker Mayfield threw for four touchdown passes as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers stayed on top of the NFC South as they beat the Los Angeles Chargers 40-17.
The Chargers were leading 17-10 before conceding scores on five straight drives as they dropped to 8-6.
Their playoff hopes took another blow as the Denver Broncos moved above them in the wildcard race and the AFC West with a 31-13 win over the Colts.
Quarterback Bo Nix threw for three interceptions, but the Broncos defence forced five turnovers of their own – linebacker Nik Bonitto returning one of them 50 yards for a touchdown.
The Seattle Seahawks dropped out of top spot in the NFC West as they went down 30-13 to the Green Bay Packers.
Jordan Love threw two touchdown passes as the Packers moved to 10-4, strengthening their place in the wildcard race and confirming the Vikings’ place in the playoffs.
The Arizona Cardinals kept their hopes of a playoff berth alive as they ended a three-game losing streak with a 30-17 win over the New England Patriots.

Jets wide receiver Davante Adams became the 12th player to reach 100 career touchdown catches in the third quarter of their 32-25 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The 31-year-old once again linked up with quarterback Aaron Rodgers to give his side a 17-16 lead following Anders Carlson’s extra point.
It was also the 80th TD Adams has caught from Rodgers, who went 16-for-30 with three touchdowns, while running back Breece Hall scored the decisive TD with just over a minute remaining.
The Washington Commanders staved off a late New Orleans surge to claim a narrow 20-19 victory over the Saints.

The Commanders held a 14-0 advantage at half-time, but two Blake Grupe field goals and Foster Moreau’s touchdown had drawn the hosts within one in the last second.
Washington clung on to victory after forcing an incompletion on the two-point conversion.
The Baltimore Ravens edged closer to a play-off berth after securing a 35-14 victory over the New York Giants.
Tight end Mark Andrews made franchise history when he caught a 13-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Lamar Jackson, his 48th career touchdown good for the most in Ravens history.

It was an excellent outing for Jackson, who posted passing yards and five touchdowns and was 21-of-25 passing.
Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito, later ruled out with a concussion, left the contest in the first half and was replaced by Tim Boyle.
There was also a scare for the Miami Dolphins after wide receiver Grant DuBose was taken off on a stretcher in their 20-12 loss to the Houston Texans.
The 23-year-old was knocked out after taking a big hit in the third quarter and was later taken to hospital after staff were seen cutting off his jersey on the field.
Dolphins WR Grant DuBose has been ruled out with a head injury. He is in stable condition and being taken to a local hospital for further evaluation.
— Miami Dolphins (@MiamiDolphins) December 15, 2024
A post to the club’s official account on X revealed DuBose had been ruled out with a head injury but was in stable condition and being evaluated.
The Cincinnati Bengals forced six turnovers as they claimed a 37-27 victory over the Tennessee Titans.

On December 15, Anushka took to Instagram Stories to share the video, captioning it: “Beautiful words by a champion parent,” along with a red heart emoji. The video has garnered widespread attention as Dr. Rajnikanth detailed the sacrifices and choices made by their family to nurture Gukesh’s extraordinary talent.
Dr. Rajnikanth revealed that supporting Gukesh’s career was not a “sacrifice” but a parental duty. Initially, balancing his medical practice as an ENT surgeon and Gukesh’s burgeoning chess career was manageable. However, as Gukesh started gaining international recognition and climbing the global chess rankings, the family made a collective decision to prioritize his aspirations.
Dr. Rajnikanth quit his medical practice to accompany Gukesh on international tours, while his wife took up the responsibility of supporting the family financially. He emphasized that their dedication was rooted in love and commitment, inspiring countless parents across the nation.
Gukesh Dommaraju, a Chennai-born chess prodigy, has been making headlines since becoming the youngest world champion. His monumental achievement came after defeating defending champion Ding Liren of China in a tense match held in Singapore. The victory cemented his place as one of the brightest young talents in chess and made the country proud.
The actress heartfelt reaction added to the outpouring of admiration for Gukesh and his parents.
The actress, last seen in the 2018 film Zero, has been focusing on family life with her children, Vamika and Akaay. While no new projects have been announced, Anushka is gearing up for the release of Chakda 'Xpress, a biopic on Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami.

Key Market Trends Fueling Growth
The global tote bags market is experiencing growth due to the rising demand for handbags, particularly tote bags, at airport retail outlets. Travelers frequently purchase luxury and premium tote bags from duty-free stores at airports because of their lower prices compared to local retailers. Airport retailing's popularity is on the rise worldwide, with many major airports undergoing renovations to accommodate large retail spaces. Factors like early check-ins, flight delays, and last-minute shopping also contribute to the market's growth. Brands like Samsonite and TUMI have a significant presence in airport terminals in India and other developing countries, where quality retail space is limited. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, airport management companies and retailers have adapted their sales and marketing strategies to boost revenues and profits, which are currently declining due to reduced passenger traffic. These strategies are expected to fuel the value sales of the global tote bags market during the forecast period.
Tote bags are trending in various markets including shopping, laptop, sports, and travel. Materials like canvas, fabric, faux leather, nylon, polyvinyl chloride, jute, cloth, and printed or textured designs are popular. Brands offer personalized, embellished, and solid color options. Online and offline stores distribute these reusable bags made of sustainable materials. Tote bags come in various sizes and textures, such as paper, cotton, linen, and generation-specific designs. The market includes players like Double R Bags, Frontier Bag, and Data Bridge. Consumer demand for eco-friendly alternatives to plastic bags drives the market's future outlook. Cost considerations and environmental concerns influence purchasing decisions. Tote bags are used in grocery stores, for branding, and as sustainable fashion statements. The market faces competition from other reusable bags, but the trend towards reducing plastic pollution and climate change continues to fuel growth.

Market
Challenges
The tote bag market faces several challenges that impact the profitability of international vendors. One significant challenge is the rising labor costs in developing countries, such as China, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Vietnam, where many vendors have their factories or original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) located. These increasing labor costs are a result of economic conditions and continuously fluctuate, leading to higher production costs for vendors. Additionally, fluctuations in raw material costs, particularly for major materials like leather, pose another challenge. The leather manufacturing process involves highly regulated steps, increasing the price of leather as a raw material, and transportation costs, which include taxes, duties, and fuel prices, add to the production expenses. Vendors incur transportation costs at various stages, from the supply of raw materials to factories to the delivery of finished goods to end-users. The major portion of transportation costs consists of fuel prices, which are subject to frequent fluctuations. While the competitive market environment restricts vendors from increasing end product prices, these rising costs reduce profit margins. To mitigate these challenges, vendors are investing in new technologies, innovative collaborations, and automating their manufacturing processes. For instance, LVMH, PRADA, and Tapestry have adopted manufacturing automation.
The Tote Bag market faces various challenges in different sectors. In grocery shopping, practicality and multiple compartments are essential. For beach outings and commutes, sturdy handles and zippered pockets are a must. Functionality and foldable designs are key for events, conferences, and trade shows. Sustainability is a major concern, with consumers preferring branded tote bags made from full-grain or top-grain leather or renewable resources. E-commerce platforms, online retailing, and online marketplaces like Etsy and social media shops offer convenience, but distribution channels and consumer reviews play a crucial role in sales. Material choices include genuine leather, synthetic materials, and personalization options. The market prioritizes sustainability, with concerns over carbon footprint and biodegradability. Customers value doorstep delivery and easy access to physical stores, department stores, boutiques, specialty shops, and dedicated websites.

Supermarkets and hypermarkets, with their dedicated luxury goods aisles, increase product visibility and provide consumers with a convenient one-stop shopping experience. Extensive marketing efforts and attractive shelf displays further encourage sales. The growing retail industry and establishment of numerous retail outlets are driving sales in the tote bag market. Department stores and specialty stores are the largest revenue contributors, with women's accessories accounting for a significant portion of their annual sales. Department store retailers differentiate themselves through store design, merchandise, and consumer service, while exclusive designer collections and private-label brands offer a competitive advantage. Hypermarkets and clubhouse stores cater to style-conscious consumers, and global retailers with large store networks are expected to benefit from this trend. Though offline channels face competition from online channels, extensive marketing efforts will maintain steady sales growth during the forecast period.

A-League expansion club Auckland FC defy history on and off the field
Few, if any, would have anticipated that Auckland FC would sit atop the A-League Men table eight games into the 2024-25 season. Entering this year as an expansion franchise, common sense pointed to some kind of breaking-in period as they looked to find their feet. The assembled talent suggested they could make an impact at some point, but leading the league at Christmas was almost without precedent. Even Western Sydney, in their premiership-winning debut season, lost four of their first eight games.
Yet two months into this campaign, Steve Corica’s side are undefeated and two points clear of second-placed Adelaide with the best goal difference in the league, propelled by a series of results that have re-written the record books. Let the good times roll.

Though ended by Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Melbourne City, Auckland’s six-game winning streak to start the season broke Western Suburbs’ 47-year-old record for the best start by a new entrant in Australian national league history. A run of five straight clean sheets broke Preston’s 38-year-old record for the longest time before conceding in an Australian national league season, according to football stats doyen Andrew Howe. Not only has this been a good start, it has been a historically good one.
And Corica hasn’t had to reinvent the wheel to get here. Alongside director of football Terry McFlyn, Corica has assembled a strong foundation of Australians and Kiwis and, as evidenced by captain Hiroki Sakai, got his foreign recruitment mostly right. On the pitch, Auckland are organised and disciplined – a defensively sound unit that doesn’t beat themselves and will punish mistakes. When setting up an expansion entity, nailing these basics is a recipe to hit the ground running while building strong foundations. But this year, with many ALM sides showing an adeptness for finding ways to beat themselves, it’s also a recipe for success.
Having been dropped into a large market with no existing team and with a ready-made rival in Wellington, the club’s strong start off the park is equally noteworthy. An average attendance of 19,534 is not only the highest in the league this season, but it is also more than the combined averages of the previous two expansion sides, Western United and Macarthur FC. The real test, inevitably, is figuring out how to maintain this energy and ensure a chunk of that average is still attending in two, three, four or five years. Being the hot new ticket in town can only sustain a club for so long, but for now at least, the city of Auckland seems to be buying in.
Having a billionaire owner in the American businessman Bill Foley to underwrite the project helps, and this should not be confused for an underdog story. Foley also proved useful in helping push through rule changes that allowed his Premier League side Bournemouth to buy Alex Paulsen – the best goalkeeper in the ALM with Wellington last campaign – and immediately loan him to Auckland.
Sunday’s draw against City was not only the first time Auckland have dropped points this season, but it was also their first real test in Australia. Acid tests against second-placed Adelaide and third-placed Melbourne Victory await in the new year. Centre-back and early-season standout Dan Hall has just suffered a broken ankle.
Nonetheless, expansion and success aren’t strangers in the A-League universe. The Wanderers won silverware in their first year while Western won a championship in their third. Macarthur have claimed two Australia Cups in five years. On Sunday, Auckland were tested when falling behind for the first time in their existence, and again when they conceded a second, but aided by a 95th-minute Patrick Beach howler, they fought back. That might not be a historic moment but it was a big one, and would have been for any team.
For the APL, the league’s administrators, watching these green shoots emerge is a godsend; after a turgid past few years, anything less would have been disastrous. Perhaps the only downside for the APL is that it is a team based in New Zealand that has shown the way, keeping the story off the radar of an already disinterested Australian mainstream.
But this being Australian football, there is always a sting in the tail. And here, the success of Auckland shines a spotlight not only on Western and Macarthur’s sluggish integration with their communities but also the APL’s attempts to introduce an expansion franchise into Canberra. The latter was supposed to happen this season only to be pushed back to 2025-26. It remains an almost complete mystery. Foley, in contrast, was publicly in place as a preferred bidder for Auckland’s licence last October. Maybe Auckland’s expansion could be said to be defying history on and off the field.

Romeo Doubs, Edgerrin Cooper Help Packers Beat Seahawks 30-13
Jordan Love threw two touchdown passes to Romeo Doubs as the Green Bay Packers continued their march to another playoff berth by beating the Seattle Seahawks 30-13 on Sunday night at Lumen Field.
Green Bay (10-4) has won eight of its last 10 games. The two losses were to the Detroit Lions (12-2), who remain No. 1 in the NFC North despite their loss to the Buffalo Bills at Ford Field.
Seattle (8-6) had its four-game winning streak snapped. It didn’t have a prayer after he suffered a knee injury in the third quarter.
After sweeping the AFC South, the Packers completed a season sweep of the NFC West. Packers coach Matt LaFleur has won 11 consecutive regular-season games against that division.
Doubs had missed the past two games with a concussion. Linebacker Edgerrin Cooper, who had missed the last three games with a hamstring injury, made a huge impact upon his return to the lineup, as well.
Linebacker Edgerrin Cooper, who sacked Smith in the first quarter, injured Smith early in the third quarter.
With Seattle trailing 23-6 but approaching the red zone on its second possession of the second half, Smith was pressured by Brenton Cox and Cooper. Smith went airborne to unload the ball and Cooper launched himself forward. He hit Smith low, and Smith’s feet got trapped underneath him as he hit the turf.
Smith wanted a penalty but none was thrown. He was helped off the field, limped to the locker room and was deemed questionable with a knee injury.
Sam Howell, a fifth-round draft pick by the Commanders in 2022, stepped into the lineup. With Washington last year, he led the NFL with 612 pass attempts and 21 interceptions.
Howell started 1-of-5 but got the Seahawks into the end zone, with Josh Jacobs’ fumble setting up Zach Charbonnet’s 24-yard touchdown run, which made it 23-13 with 11:16 remaining.
With 5:50 remaining and the Seahawks managing to hang around, Cooper struck again. After Karl Brooks sacked Howell on first down, Cooper intercepted Howell on second down. Three plays later, on third-and-5, Love and Doubs connected on a highlight-reel touchdown.
The line held up against Seattle’s blitz, and Doubs made an all-hands catch of a low pass in the back of the end zone to make it 30-13 with 4:59 to play.
Jacobs carried 26 times for 94 yards and one touchdown and added four catches for 42 yards. Love was 20-of-27 passing for 229 yards and two touchdowns, good for a 123.8 passer rating.
Defensively, Green Bay had seven sacks – two by Kingsley Enagbare and one apiece by Cooper, Brooks, Rashan Gary, Brenton Cox and Devonte Wyatt.
Green Bay outgained the Seahawks 369-208.
It was total domination in the first half for the Packers as they raced to a 20-3 halftime lead. Four possessions resulted in four scores.
It was fair to wonder if Green Bay’s three-day rest advantage might outweigh Seattle’s raucous home crowd.
The Packers looked fresh and fast following last Thursday’s loss at Detroit.
Especially Jacobs.
Starting from their 37, Jacobs caught a screen for 4 and another screen for 13 more, with 15 tacked on due to cornerback Riq Woolen’s roughing-the-passer penalty. Jacobs followed with runs of 3, 4, 5, 9, 4 and 1.
Jacobs got a one-play breather, with Love scrambling 4 yards to the 1. On third-and-goal, Zach Tom had the key block on Jacobs’ touchdown.
After missing three games, Edgerrin Cooper had a third-down sack on the ensuing possession. The Packers were in the end zone moments later.
Jacobs turned a checkdown into a gain of 21 and a toss into a gain of 19. On second-and-goal from the 7, Love fired a slant to Romeo Doubs. After missing two games with a concussion, he took two defenders into the end zone for a 14-0 lead.
After the teams traded field goals, the Seahawks were on the cusp of making it a one-score game and with the ball to start the second half.
Instead, Smith threw one of those bad interceptions that’s dogged him all season. He tried to lob the ball to tight end Noah Fant for a touchdown. Instead, cornerback Carrington Valentine left his man, got under the route and made a leaping interception.
The Packers turned the takeaway into a chip-shot field goal just before halftime.
Love was 12-of-13 passing for 142 yards and one touchdown. Jacobs, who had a bunch of touchdowns but not a lot of yards against Miami and Detroit, had 14 carries for 73 yards plus three receptions for 38 yards for a total of 111 yards.

Stock Report: Packers Make Statement vs. Seahawks
Stocks
Matt LaFleur channeled Matt Hasselbeck at the start of tonight’s game between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks.
When the Packers won the toss, LaFleur’s message to the team we clear.
“We want the ball, and we’re gonna score.”
He didn’t announce it into a microphone like Hasselbeck did on that frigid January day at Lambeau Field, but the tone was set.
Josh Jacobs touched the ball on all but one play of a 10-play drive that resulted in a touchdown.
Seven carries, two catches, seven points.
The Packers’ goal was to take the crowd out of the game, and they accomplished their goal.
Big plays from Jacobs, Christian Watson, and Romeo Doubs helped the Packers build a 20-3 halftime lead.
The run game disappeared in the second half. Their first five carries went for zero yards. Seattle made their adjustment there.
Unfortunately for the Seahawks, it was too little too late as late plays from Edgerrin Cooper and Romeo Doubs ensured that the Packers made an emphatic statement on Sunday Night Football.
Here’s our stock report, starting with the Packers’ star quarterback
Rising
Jordan Love
Jordan Love took the league by storm during last year’s second half of the season.
That did not carry over to the first half of this season. Love led the league in interceptions when the team went into the bye week on November 4.
Since that time, Love has thrown one interception, an overthrow against Chicago.
Otherwise, he’s looked every bit like the quarterback who set the league on fire to close the 2023 season.
Love was dealing to start the night. He completed 17 of his first 19 passes. He found Romeo Doubs in the end zone to give the Packers an early 14-0 lead.
Perhaps the biggest development since the bye week is Love is no longer nursing the lower body injuries that clearly hampered him to start the year.
His mobility in and out of the pocket have gotten better each week.
That has clearly made a difference against opposing pressure looks.
Love finished the night with two touchdown passes to Romeo Doubs. He averaged more than 10 yards-per-completion.
The Packers have almost always felt good about their chances in a playoff game because they had Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers under center.
That same type of confidence exists now that they have Jordan Love under center. They can win anywhere if he is healthy.
Josh Jacobs
The first series of the game set the tone for what the Packers’ plans were for the night.
Surprise, it involved a lot of Josh Jacobs. A 10-play drive saw Jacobs touch the ball nine times.
The only time he did not touch the ball, he was not on the field, presumably resting his back from carrying his team all the way down the field.
When the drive finished, the score was 7-0, and the raucous Lumen Field crowd had been eliminated from the game.
Jacobs did not have the same impact in the second half, where the Seahawks put the clamps on him. He also lost a fumble.
He still makes the list of players who had a good night thanks to setting the tone for the night in the first quarter.
Carrington Valentine
Carrington Valentine got the start out of necessity tonight. With Jaire Alexander and Javon Bullard both inactive, Valentine was one of the boundary corners across from Eric Stokes with Keisean Nixon moving to the slot.
Valentine has been rotating with Stokes for most of the year, but appears to have outplayed him.
Stokes’ innocuous streak of not breaking up a pass or recording an interception since 2021 has been extended after tonight’s game.
Valentine outdid that by the second quarter.
Valentine’s first career interception came on a wounded duck from Geno Smith on a play that Eric Wilson provided pressure.
Valentine did make the mistake of taking the ball out of the endzone, which set the Packers up with bad field position, but the play on the ball took points off the board for Seattle.
Perhaps Valentine’s big play will give him the nod in the rotation that Matt LaFleur insists will continue.
Pass Rush
Edgerrin Cooper was first.
Rashan Gary followed suit on the next series.
At the end of the night, it was seven sacks from six different players.
Green Bay’s pass rush, the darling of training camp, had to show up tonight. With the cornerback situation against Seattle’s trio of receivers, the pass rush was going to be the great equalizer.
That’s something that has been said a lot this season. The quality of the opposing offensive line has rarely mattered.
More often than not, this group has disappointed.
Not tonight.
Edgerrin Cooper
Cooper certainly knew how to welcome himself back to the lineup.
His sack of Geno Smith on the first offensive series of the game for the Seahawks allowed the Packers to double up on them almost immediately.
Cooper was all over the field tonight being used as a pass rusher. He pressured Geno Smith on an incompletion that sidelined him for a key third down in the third quarter.
Two plays later, he was used as a spy for Sam Howell, and kept the pressure on him, forcing an errant throw.
He nearly had an interception on back-to-back plays early in the fourth quarter.
Then of course, following a fourth down stop for Seattle’s defense, Cooper ruined any chance for a Seahawks comeback with an interception of Sam Howell.
You get the picture. He’s always around the ball.
Cooper is still raw, and never been fully able to crack the starting lineup when he’s been healthy.
When he is on the field, however, his playmaking is something the Packers’ linebackers simply do not have.
A big night for the rookie should lead to more opportunities as the Packers continue their march toward the playoffs.
Romeo Doubs
Speaking of players who welcomed themselves back, enter Romeo Doubs.
Doubs, sporting a guardian cap for the first time this season after missing a concussion, made an impact on his first reception of the night.
Doubs caught a slant from Jordan Love at Seattle’s five. He carried three Seattle defenders into the end zone, and the Packers led 14-0.
Doubs also drew a big pass interference penalty late in the first half when he ran by Tariq Woolen.
Had Love thrown a better pass, that might’ve been Doubs’ second touchdown of the night.
Love would make sure that Doubs got a chance to close this game out.
After Edgerrin Cooper’s interception, Doubs made sure this game would go Green Bay’s way.
Jordan Love found him in the back of the end zone and Doubs made a sensational catch for his second score of the night.
Doubs is a valuable piece to Green Bay’s offense. Perhaps he’s not the most explosive player, but he always seems to make big plays in big spots.
Falling
Keisean Nixon
Whether the penalties were soft or not, Nixon was called for two drive extending penalties in the first half against the Seahawks. He was tasked with a tough assignment of moving to the slot, where Seattle’s star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba does most of his damage.
Nixon has done most of his work on the boundary this season, but with the absence of Jaire Alexander and Javon Bullard, Nixon had to bump back inside.
He struggled tonight after making a game-changing play a week ago.
The Packers may not have a good answer for their slot position. They’re running out of time to figure it out.
Evan Williams
Williams has been the better of the two rookie safeties, but did struggle tonight in coverage. He was beaten on a deep corner route to Smith-Njigba while his eyes were on DK Metcalf, who looked to be surrounded by two of his teammates.
Williams has been in a bit of a slump recently, but will continue to be the starter across from Xavier McKinney as the Packers try to solve the rest of the issues with their middle of the field defense.
Sean Rhyan
Rhyan struggled tonight, specifically in the second half.
With the Packers facing a 3rd-and-1 deep in their own territory, it looked like Rhyan who missed a block on Leonard Williams.
Williams, Seattle’s best defensive lineman, threw Jacobs for a loss and the drive was over.
Rhyan was also penalized for a costly penalty deep in Seattle territory that made for a more difficult third down.
That penalty, in part, forced the Packers to settle for a field goal to take a 23-6 lead late in the third quarter.
On a night where the offensive line was mostly solid, this feels like a game Rhyan will want back.
Second Half Offense
For all the good things that happened early in the game, Green Bay’s offense continued to find ways to shoot itself in the foot once the clock hit the two-minute warning in the first half.
They wasted an abundance of time, forcing them to kick a field goal when they could have scored a touchdown.
Drops, a missed throw, and a fumble from Josh Jacobs allowed Seattle to stay in a game they had no business being in.
The Packers’ offense did not execute, and did not appear to show much interest in being aggressive to put a game on the road away.
Green Bay appeared to line up to go for a fourth down twice in the game. Both times they were attempting to draw the Seahawks offsides.
Both times, Seattle stayed on their side of the line of scrimmage.
The next time that strategy works, will be the first.
Green Bay had a stretch of five drives of the second half saw them go 3-and-out three times, fumble ones, and turn the ball over on downs.
In fact, the only real positive from Green Bay’s offense in the second half was a circus catch from Romeo Doubs that helped put the game out of reach.

NFL playoff picture, draft order Week 15: Texans clinch AFC South, Vikings get in and Bears eliminated from postseason
The Giants and Raiders are in a race for the No. 1 overall draft pick
The Houston Texans have won their division for a second straight year.
The Texans clinched the AFC South on Sunday afternoon. They beat the Miami Dolphins 20-12, which pushed the Dolphins to the brink of postseason elimination, and then officially won their division after the Denver Broncos came back to beat the Indianapolis Colts 31-13.
The Colts completely fell apart against the Broncos, both after Jonathan Taylor fumbled on what should've been a touchdown and the team threw an awful interception on a trick play in the fourth quarter.
The Texans are the fourth team to officially land a spot in the AFC playoffs, following the Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers and the Buffalo Bills.
On the other side of the league, the Chicago Bears were officially knocked out of the playoff race without playing a game on Sunday. The Bears were eliminated from the postseason after the Washington Commanders’ narrow 20-19 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. The Bears will wrap up Week 15 on Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings, who clinched a playoff berth after the Packers defeated the Seahawks on Sunday night.
The Bears are 4-9 entering Monday’s game in Minneapolis, so this isn’t much of a surprise based on how the year has gone for them. They fired head coach Matt Eberflus earlier this season in a rare in-season personnel change for the organization. Chicago, after starting the season 4-2, has lost seven straight games. The Bears have missed the playoffs for a fourth straight campaign. They’ve not won a playoff game since the 2010 season.
The Bears are the third NFC team to be eliminated from the playoff race, along with the Carolina Panthers and New York Giants.
With their loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, the Giants took over the No. 1 draft pick from the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders, however, will also play on Monday night against the Atlanta Falcons. They could reclaim the top pick with a loss.

Amitabh Bachchan paid tributes to
Raj Kapoor on the occasion of the legendary actor-filmmaker's 100th birth anniversary, describing the 1951 classic "Awara" as a shining example of his "incredible showmanship" that left a lasting impression on the megastar. Bachchan, 82, said the "powerful and mystical symbolism" in the famous dream sequence of the black-and-white movie, also starring Nargis, is his favourite part about "Awara".
The film revolves around the intertwining lives of a poor thief Raj (played by Raj Kapoor), the privileged Rita (Nargis), and Judge Raghunath (Prithviraj Kapoor) who is unaware that Raj is his son.
Raj Kapoor also directed and produced "Awara", which was penned by his frequent collaborator Khwaja Ahmad Abbas.
"Even today 'Awara' is a film that is etched in my mind. Talking about Rajji's incredible showmanship, the way he envisioned the dream sequence in the film had never been seen before.
"You are amazed by his fantastical imagination that visualised the surreal setting, the ethereal Nargisji emerging through thick clouds of smoke, Rajji surrounded by demonic figures and burning fires - there is a powerful, mystical symbolism in the dream sequence, and that is my favourite," Bachchan wrote in an X post.
Raj Kapoor would have turned 100 on December 14.
To mark his birth anniversary, the Film Heritage Foundation (FHF) and RK Films organised 'Raj Kapoor 100 - Celebrating the Centenary of the Greatest Showman', a three-day grand festival of 10 milestone Raj Kapoor films screening in 40 cities and 135 cinemas across the country. It will conclude on Sunday.
"Continuing our commitment to bringing classic cinema back to the big screen, I am so happy that Film Heritage Foundation has joined hands with RK Films to keep the legacy of Raj Kapoor alive and give audiences all over India an opportunity to revisit the films of an artist who lived for cinema and whose films gave voice to the common man," FHF ambassador Bachchan added in his post.
Bachchan's daughter Shweta is married to Raj Kapoor's daughter Ritu Nanda's son Nikhil.
Raj Kapoor also directed films such as "Barsaat", "Shree 420", "Sangam", "Mera Naam Joker", "Bobby" and "Ram Teri Ganga Maili" during his illustrious 40-year career. He died in 1988.

(MENAFN- EIN Presswire)
Dr. Tyson Cobb, orthopedic surgeon and Real estate investor, shares insights on how Trump's policies could shape commercial real estate opportunities.
Trump's policies on tax cuts, deregulation, and infrastructure may unlock major opportunities for CRE investors-Dr. Tyson Cobb explains how to benefit.
BETTENDORF, IA, UNITED STATES, December 15, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- As the dust settles on Donald Trump's historic re-election, the nation prepares for a series of economic and policy shifts. For commercial real estate (CRE) investors, these changes may signal significant opportunities. Dr. Tyson Cobb, a semi-retired orthopedic surgeon and experienced real estate investor with over $1 billion in investing experience, believes that Trump's policies could create a favorable environment for strategic investors.
Dr. Cobb highlights how Trump's focus on tax cuts, deregulation, and infrastructure investment could drive growth in the CRE market.“Lower corporate taxes and fewer regulations often lead to business expansion,” Cobb explains.“This can create increased demand for commercial spaces, industrial properties, and multifamily housing.” However, Cobb cautions that these benefits won't materialize overnight. Investors who position themselves early stand the best chance of capitalizing on these trends.
According to Investopedia, Trump's intention to extend the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act could sustain lower corporate taxes and incentives like accelerated depreciation for property investments. These measures can leave businesses with more capital, potentially increasing demand for office spaces and industrial facilities. For investors, this presents an opportunity to benefit from higher occupancy rates and improved rental yields.
Deregulation is another area where Cobb sees potential for CRE growth. Trump's commitment to streamlining construction approvals could reduce bottlenecks in the development process.“Fewer regulations can mean faster project timelines and lower development costs,” Cobb notes. This can make new projects more financially viable, especially for investors looking to enter the market with minimal delays.
Infrastructure investment could also play a pivotal role in boosting the CRE market. Trump's proposed $500 billion infrastructure plan aims to enhance transportation networks, utilities, and digital infrastructure. According to Oxford Economics, such investments have historically led to higher property values and increased development activity.“When infrastructure improves, previously underdeveloped areas become more attractive for logistics hubs, warehouses, and multifamily developments,” Cobb explains. Investors who identify these growth regions early may see substantial returns.
Despite these potential benefits, Cobb acknowledges that risks remain. Policies like increased tariffs and stricter immigration rules could lead to higher construction costs and labor shortages.“These challenges are real, but that's where syndication comes into play,” Cobb says.“Pooling resources and expertise allows investors to mitigate risks more effectively and navigate market uncertainties.”
Cobb advises investors to focus on fundamentals.“Look for properties selling below their intrinsic value, in markets with strong population growth and job creation,” he recommends. These factors, he argues, matter more than any single policy and provide a solid foundation for long-term success.
For those looking to achieve financial independence and transition from active income to passive wealth, real estate syndication offers a powerful solution. Cobb's disciplined approach-evaluating hundreds of deals and selecting only the top 1%-ensures that his investors are presented with high-quality opportunities.
To learn more about how these policies could shape your investment strategy, schedule a call at ,” Cobb advises.“Strategic real estate investments can build lasting wealth and create the financial freedom many professionals seek and seldom find while still young enough to enjoy it.

Pensive, Emotionless Seahawks Mascot Perfectly Summed Up Bad Night in Seattle
The Seattle Seahawks were not having a good night Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, coming out of halftime in a 20-3 hole. To make matters worse, starting quarterback Geno Smith went out with injury, thrusting backup Sam Howell into a bad situation.
As Seattle prepared to punt from its own endzone, mascot Blitz was caught on NBC's cameras, hand tapping his beak as he pensively thought about what had gone wrong for his squad in their home nest.
NBC's Cris Collinsworth and Mike Tirico mused about how the normally excitable mascot had been deflated by the Sunday night performance.
They're right, Blitz's stated purpose on the Seahawks website is to, "make sure Lumen Field is the loudest, most exciting stadium in the NFL." An uncharacteristic Seahawks performance was met with an uncharacteristic reaction from Blitz.
Shortly after, the Seahawks forced Josh Jacobs to fumble the ball, and Seattle gamed a really solid pair of blocks for Zach Charbonnet to get into the end zone, closing the deficit to just 10 after the extra point attempt.
Maybe that deep thought got some things going after all.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith leaves loss to Packers with knee injury
The Packers flew ahead to grab a 30-13 win over the Seahawks on Sunday night
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith left Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers with a knee injury.
The injury took place in the third quarter as Green Bay held a 20-3 lead at Lumen Field. Smith leapt and threw the ball under pressure. Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper hit Smith in the lower leg while Smith was still in the air. Smith landed awkwardly and was in pain on the ground after the hit.

Howell struggled the rest of the way in Smith's place. He went just 5-of-14 for 24 yards and threw an interception in the 17-point loss. That dropped the Seahawks to 8-6 on the season, which has them tied with the Los Angeles Rams for first place in the NFC West. The Rams won their first head-to-head matchup vs. the Seahawks and face them again on Jan. 5 in the regular-season finale.
Further specifics on Smith's injury are not yet known. If the Seahawks were to fall out of the NFC West lead without him, they could end up missing the playoffs altogether. The 9-5 Washington Commanders were in position for the No. 7 seed and final wild-card berth in the NFC following their win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

Spencer Rattler Explains Saints’ Ill-Fated Two-Point Decision
The New Orleans Saints almost pulled off quite a comeback on Sunday.
After trailing the Washington Commanders 17-0 in the second half, the Saints marched all the way back to force a dramatic ending.
Down 20-13, backup to the backup Spencer Rattler led the Saints down the field and with the help of a few extra seconds, connected with tight end Foster Moreau for a touchdown as the clock hit triple zeroes.
The touchdown put the score at 20-19, and posed a tough question to the Saints—kick the extra point and play for overtime, or go for two and the win? Rattler and the Saints’ offense pushed the team to go for two. Unfortunately, the play came up short, with Rattler unable to find an open receiver in the end zone.
After the game, Rattler addressed the team’s decision to go for two.
“We knew before the drive. We wanted to go down there and win the game. I think that’s the mindset our whole team had,” Rattler said. “I’m proud of the team—nobody flinched that whole game. Coming out of halftime, nobody flinched. We believed that we could come out and win the game. We were an inch away. Gotta be proud of that.”
Rattler and the Saints’ decision to go for the win stemmed from solid logic. Heading into Sunday, New Orleans had just a 1% chance of reaching the postseason. Going up against a superior foe, in front of your home crowd, having just climbed back from a 17-point hole, there is really not much to lose in putting it all on the line for one more play.
Whlie it didn’t work out for the Saints this time around, Rattler’s attitude towards the decision and the team’s performance can be seen as a small victory in a year that the Saints have been in desperate need of them.

Week 15 Care/Don't Care: Without Geno Smith, Seahawks offense (and fantasy football outlook) paints bleak picture
5 things I care about
The Packers push the ball down the field
Green Bay ranked dead last in neutral pass rate coming into Week 15. They have really leaned into their diverse and powerful run game led by Josh Jacobs.
That rushing attack was still a focal point in their road win over the Seahawks. Jacobs ran the ball 26 times to 27 pass attempts by Jordan Love and the backup backs had four rush attempts. Jayden Reed had three runs at nine yards per attempt. However, the passing game showed some dynamism with downfield passes, which needs to be part of the equation for the Packers to hit their ceiling.
Love threw deep at the second-highest rate in any game this season at 22.2%, per Next Gen Stats. He was extremely effective overall, with a top-10 yards per completion rate among quarterbacks this week and a 57.1% success rate, the fifth-best game of his career (NGS).
Love threw the ball on average under 2.1 seconds in Week 15. He had some layups behind the line of scrimmage but that also speaks to his shots downfield. Almost all of his vertical passes came on concepts that required him to hit the back foot and uncork the ball quickly to deep routes.
Seattle’s defense has been a strong unit in the second half of the year, particularly defending the run, as they were first in rushing success rate allowed since Week 10 prior to this game. They didn’t allow many explosive carries to the backs and held Jacobs to 3.6 yards per carry. However, they have a clear weakness at outside corner. Green Bay took advantage of that issue routinely with vertical shots to Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs. They also drew some critical pass interference plays and Love was decisive in hunting for those in tight coverage, even if the throw wasn’t always open.
Given how Green Bay has shied away from having the passing game be the leading actor at times this season, I wasn’t sure if they were going to take advantage of those issues in the Seahawks defense. The fact that they did is a pretty big development.
The Packers have been a bit of a volatile team all season and some of that has been due to the health of Jordan Love. Over the last month or so, we’ve seen far more of the positives of Love’s game as the rushing attack has kept the offense on schedule. He’s played mostly mistake-free football and attacked downfield on play-action shots. When they’re running the ball with consistency and power up front with Love pushing the ball vertically, they’re one of the most difficult units to stop.
The Bills do it again
By “it,” I, of course, mean what I’ve found so tantalizing about this offense all season long: they can beat you in so many ways. One week after a high-flying aerial performance in a loss to the Rams where they largely abandoned the running game, they were more balanced in this win in Detroit.
Not only was James Cook ripping off big plays consistently in this game on his way to 133 yards from scrimmage and a pair of touchdowns, the depth backs were huge, too. Ty Johnson was clearly a focal point of the game plan, as he won on several downfield targets designed to exploit the Lions banged-up linebacker group and Ray Davis scored once on his nine touches. Johnson finished as the Bills' leading receiver with 114 yards.
One week after Amari Cooper finished with more air yards (254) than any other pass-catcher this season, he didn’t register a single target against Detroit. That’s because the Bills offense went back to their heavier personnel group with both tight ends finishing top-three among the team in routes run, while both Keon Coleman and Mack Hollins ran more routes than Cooper.
Not one human being can complain about Cooper's usage because the Bills offense was nearly flawless.
Yes, the Lions defense is obscenely banged up at all three levels. That kind of context must be applied to any team that goes against them. However, Buffalo has been doing this to teams all season. No matter how it chooses to attack an opponent, there is a path to efficiency. The fact that Buffalo can win in multiple ways on offense and employ one of the most dangerous multi-phase quarterbacks makes it a frightening outfit.
Statement game by the Bucs
The Buccaneers have dealt with a litany of unfortunate injuries but they are still a good solid team that’s never packed it in. As such, there was always a chance they could win at home against the Chargers but I never foresaw such a resounding blowout win. This was a statement win by Tampa Bay.
Week 15 served as a reminder of what the Bucs offense can be when they don’t make mistakes.
Baker Mayfield played an essentially clean game that included just one sack. When this team stays out of negative down-and-distance situations, they can demolish a solid stop unit. Mayfield picked on a Chargers defense that has limited explosive plays with a pair of vertical shots to Mike Evans. Even his touchdown to Jalen McMillan came on a well-designed downfield shot. Mayfield was also lights out underneath, completing all 16 of his passes of under 10 air yards, per Next Gen Stats. Liam Coen has designed one of the best passing games among any offense this year and when Mayfield is hot, he runs it to perfection.
If you had given me 10 chances to guess which backfield would give us two starting backs in the fantasy football postseason prior to the start of the year, there’s no chance I would have gotten to Tampa Bay. And yet, Week 15 was another piece of evidence that’s exactly what we have in both Bucky Irving and Rachaad White.
I’m running out of superlatives for Bucky Irving’s game. He’s just so electric and efficient on base runs. He amassed 84 yards on between-the-tackle runs and consistently added extra yardage with his own moves. The fact that he had the outing he did against Los Angeles while coming off multiple injuries is just wildly impressive. Even with Irving playing well, Rachaad White still offered 81 yards from scrimmage on 17 touches with yet another receiving score. The Bucs running game is a completely remade unit with Coen at coordinator and several young offensive linemen stepping up.
The Bucs are plenty capable of stealing the NFC South from a Falcons team that beat them twice. Considering they just blew out the best team remaining on their schedule, they looked poised to go on a run to end this season.
The Eagles' passing game ceiling
The week-long, wall-to-wall media coverage of A.J. Brown’s Week 14 post-game “passing” comment was one of the most ridiculous controversies I can ever remember. Mainly because it was a curt description of the team’s issues but wasn’t in any way inflammatory toward his quarterback — which, of course, was how bad-faith commentators painted it.
However, the biggest reason that this was a stupid controversy was that Brown’s assessment was in no way controversial; the passing game needed to be better than it had been the last month or so because it so obviously can be excellent.
Week 15 was an excellent proof of concept. The Eagles threw all over a good Steelers defense as the offensive line gave Jalen Hurts plenty of time to pass and both wide receivers cleared 100 yards. Brown and DeVonta Smith combined for 72% of the team targets. The Eagles are ultra-talented at the pass-catcher spot, and Hurts can get these guys the ball on specific downfield concepts. There’s no reason they can’t approach ceiling outcomes when everything is firing.
Now, some context is important here. T.J. Watt suffered an injury in this game and the Steelers defense is already specifically vulnerable to how the Eagles win on offense. Pittsburgh is the most single-high defense in the league and, therefore, ends up in man coverage quite often on late downs. Hurts was lethal against man coverage in Week 15, completing 11 of 13 for 138 yards and two touchdowns with a season-high 71.4% success rate, per Next Gen Stats.
The Eagles will face their division rivals to close out the season, all three of whom are inside the top 15 in man coverage rate, per Fantasy Points Data. Most importantly, their main competition at the top of the NFC, the Detroit Lions, are the No. 1 man coverage defense in the NFL. With what this Eagles team is capable of when they’re playing to their potential as an aerial attack, the overall strength of the roster and what’s happening to the Lions defense (more on that later) this team should absolutely feel great about their chances to take the conference.
A.J. Brown was right to criticize the passing attack. It can be better. It should be better. What Week 15 showed us is that the “better” is not at all unattainable.
The Broncos' playoff odds
With a critical Week 15 win over a Colts team that embarrassed itself in multiple ways on Sunday, the Broncos now look like a near-lock for the postseason. NFL.com’s playoff predictor gives them a 90% chance of making the playoffs and they can even put some distance between themselves and the now seventh-seed Chargers with a win on Thursday night.
The 2024 campaign has been an impressive one for a Broncos team that I dramatically underrated coming into the season.
Bo Nix and the offense didn’t have a banner day, and the rookie quarterback specifically had some mistakes he’d love to have back. However, this has largely been an offense that’s outkicked expectations and has leaned into the best stylings of a quarterback who wants to push the ball downfield over the middle. Defensively, they’ve been a top-tier stop unit for the vast majority of the year. They completely demolished the Colts passing game in Week 15 and it’s not the first volatile passing game they’ve sent spinning into a loss.
I’m not quite sure what the ceiling of this Broncos team is as they head toward the playoffs but they’re without a doubt a unit that deserves to be in the mix. Their win over an immature Colts operation was just another bit of evidence of the gap between Denver and the true pretenders. Even if 2024 isn’t the year of true contention for the Broncos, they have to feel great about the future. This has been a beautifully coached team with what looks like an answer at quarterback and a lot of resources to build the roster in 2025 and beyond. That’s the makings of an objectively good situation.
5 things I don’t care about
The Seahawks without Geno Smith
I rarely call out curious things that commentators say in shows or articles because these folks have a tough job and most of them are extremely good, but not perfect — you try to talk for three hours and not say something silly.
That said, my eyebrows shot toward the ceiling when Cris Collinsworth said, “We have seen some good play out of this Seahawks offensive line, but not tonight,” as backup quarterback Sam Howell was taken down on one of his many sacks of the night.
I’d say this has been one of the worst pass protection groups across the entire NFL, and it’s been an anchor on the ankles of a talented passing game.
What we’ve actually seen is a coaching staff constantly trying to scheme around the pass protection issues and, more importantly, a quarterback covering up for the sins of the protection. If you didn’t know it before this week, seeing Howell take Geno Smith’s spot after a knee injury should make that abundantly evident.
I fear Sam Howell is about to eat sacks like he's at the buffet behind this Seahawks offensive line if he stays in the game
— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) December 16, 2024
Howell took two sacks soon after that above post went up. He took four total on the night across 19 dropbacks, good for a 22% sack rate. Howell was one of the most egregious sack-eaters in the NFL last season as Washington’s starter because he just doesn’t respond well to pressure. So, he was particularly ill-fit to operate behind this line.
When he wasn’t getting driven to the dirt, Howell completed five of 14 pass attempts with an interception. He threw for 24 yards and lost 21 on sacks. That’s outrageous.
The Seahawks weren’t playing well offensively at any point on Sunday night but Smith’s injury took this offense from inconsistent to done. This offensive line and Howell are a toxic mix. The Packers defense has had some moments this year and their blitz packages have really turned a corner from the early season, but this isn’t an elite group. You can’t have this type of performance against a unit like that.
Smith has his flaws but he’s been keeping the crippling issues up front from becoming something that sinks the unit. If he misses any time at all, we are completely uninterested in the hopes of this offense.
Lions' offensive numbers in Week 15
You can find it all over the Lions' stat sheet if you’re looking for a fantastic offensive box score. Jared Goff threw for almost 500 yards and five touchdowns, Jahmyr Gibbs found the end zone in both phases, Amon-Ra St. Brown couldn’t stop snagging passes; the list goes on and on.
However, this was all while Detroit tried to dig itself out of a deficit that stood at 21-7 midway through the second quarter because, while you can find great offensive performances, you can also find a pretty troubling reality in the Lions' Week 15 loss.
The Detroit Lions, as of now, are the No. 1 seed in the NFC. They are a great team. Yet, based on recent games, you just have to wonder how many more losses this defense can bear.
Detroit has significant injury concerns at every level of the defense. Alex Anzalone, Marcus Davenport, Ifeatu Melifonwu, and of course, Aidan Hutchinson, among many other players were already on injured reserve. Run-stopper extraordinaire D.J. Reader has missed multiple weeks with an injury. Then, in this Week 15 loss, both Carlton Davis and Alim McNeill suffered injuries and Dan Campbell said after the game he doesn’t feel good about either playing again this season.
There are cluster injuries and then there’s full-unit devastation. The Detroit Lions are absolutely dealing with the latter.
The Bills are a fantastic offense and as covered above, can beat any team in multiple ways, but do I think that the early-season, uninjured version of the Lions' defense gets dog-walked to the tune of 48 points? No, I do not.
Every season, one team that should otherwise be a contender just becomes an unrecognizable operation due to injuries. Given everything that the Lions are dealing with on defense, I’m afraid they’re trending in that direction. I hope I’m wrong.
Joe Mixon’s fantasy ranking
Joe Mixon is averaging 18.8 fantasy points per game. That puts him in the same tier as guys like Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry in fantasy. I don’t care what the fantasy production says; there is just no comparison when it comes to the season-long output of backs like that versus the running game of the Texans.
All it takes to see the lie in the fantasy production is a simple gander at a stat like success rate. The Texans rank 31st in rushing success rate on the season in the 11 games Joe Mixon has played, per TruMedia. For comparison, both the Ravens and Eagles are top-seven teams in this metric. Houston’s run game has not been a consistently positive force for their offense.
To be clear, this isn’t really a Mixon issue. While he hasn’t been as dynamic a force for his team like Barkley or Henry, he’s been an upgrade over what Houston had in the backfield last season and a strong addition. The fact that this is the case and the run game is almost as useless as it was in 2023 should lead to more difficult discussions.
Overall, through two years, I’d call the rushing scheme in Houston under Bobby Slowik to be pretty bland and the offensive line has been a mistake-prone unit. The front five has been a problem for most of this year after being a strength, at least on the edge, last year. It’s one of the many reasons that, despite a Week 15 win over a conference opponent, the Texans just don’t feel dynamic enough to make a run in the postseason.
Bryce Young takes a step back
Week 15 was probably a small regression point for Bryce Young but I don’t think that’s the most helpful way to paint it. However, there are a couple of things that Young’s lowly box score should make us reckon with.
For starters, while Young was playing considerably better football in the four games prior to Week 15, it was worth being cautious with the bottom-line results of the offense. Young completed fewer than 60% of his passes and averaged a mediocre 6.5 adjusted yards per attempt. Some big drops and teammate mistakes dampen those stats, but that speaks to the unit's overall health. His individual play was more important than the stats and Young was good enough in this stretch to raise the bar to average starting quarterback after he was unplayable as a rookie and the first two weeks of 2024.
Young’s passer rating is even worse in this Week 15 loss and he also took a whopping six sacks. However, he still had some positive moments attacking downfield. Despite this performance, I’d still consider his overall body of work of late is still good enough for the team to roll into 2025 with him as the starter. Hopefully, one more dangerous outside wide receiver and another year in the system can get an even better final product for the Panthers offense.
On the Dallas side, its takedown of this Panthers offense is just another reminder that its defense has been much better in the second half of the season. Micah Parsons has been a true game-wrecker for the last month-plus and he was on fire against Carolina. Getting Parsons back in the fold along with several other players has turned what was a disastrous unit to start the year into a solid group.
The Cowboys aren’t going anywhere this year and there’s still a good chance this coaching staff gets blown up in the offseason. However, the way the defense has played the last few games is a nice reminder there are some building blocks on that side of the ball.
The Browns' passing game without Jameis Winston
Jameis Winston gives and he takes away … literally.
While he gives production to his team’s pass catchers because of his aggressive style of play, those same tendencies can completely take away any chance you have to win when he’s in one of his turnover streaks. He was deep in one such funk on Sunday against the Chiefs.
Winston’s play was so disastrous that the Browns made the completely defensible decision to yank him from the game in the fourth quarter. Before that point of the game, he threw three brutal interceptions and took five sacks. His replacement, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, wasn’t any better but that’s beside the point. Most teams aren’t just going to keep a guy they’ve already determined to be merely a backup quarterback in the game if he can’t stop turning the football over.
Remember that, at one point this season, the Browns made Winston the inactive QB3 and promoted DTR to the main backup quarterback. That’s an important data point.
There’s no doubt that, based on what we’ve seen so far, Winston is a better quarterback than the second-year passer. However, the organization drafted Thompson-Robinson and has long seemed high on him as a player. Winston is a free agent at the end of the season and even if he makes for a fun watch in spurts, he isn’t their future at the position. Given Winston’s play the last two games, they may elect to get a look at DTR the final few weeks of the season.
If Winston isn’t starting for this Cleveland team, we have no reason to be bullish on their pass-catchers in fantasy football or real-life football, especially if guys like Cedric Tillman and David Njoku return next week to spread out the target tree. Winston’s “live by the sword, die by the sword” playing style may wear out a coaching staff but it’s the reason guys like Jerry Jeudy have been so productive of late. A Winston benching would fundamentally change how we project this offense.

Hannah Hidalgo's Face Says It All About Caitlin Clark WNBA Matchup Fan Answer
Women's college basketball's most surging superstar at the moment is Notre Dame sophomore guard Hannah Hidalgo.
Hidalgo burst onto the scene as a freshman last year, solidifying herself as a top-tier talent who appeared poised for an extremely successful career.
But the strides Hidalgo has made from last season to this one have not only made Notre Dame into a bona fide National Championship contender but are also making many fans wonder whether she has become the best women's college basketball player.
Since Hidalgo is only a sophomore, she isn't eligible for the WNBA Draft until 2027. However, the battle between her and USC Trojans superstar JuJu Watkins for who earns the No. 1 pick of that draft will be fascinating to see unfold as it approaches.
What's for sure is that basketball fans will eventually get to see Hidalgo and Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark matching up head-to-head starting in 2027. And Hidalgo seemed to make her feelings about this future matchup known when asked about it during an Instagram Q&A on Sunday.
Hidalgo posted on her story asking fans to answer "What matchup y'all excited to see next??"
She then reposted 10 different answers, most of which discussed NCAAW games. However, one response was "You vs CC in the pros 🤫💣💣".
Hidalgo had a caption response for every answer except this one about Clark. Instead, she simply posted a photo of her face, showing what appears to be clear recognition and potential intrigue.
Clark and Hidalgo — both of whom show a ton of passion and fire on the court, while also boasting an explosive offensive skillset — never faced off against each other in college. So when they inevitably do in the WNBA, fans can surely expect fireworks.

Choreographer Rajit Dev revealed that he taught the Punjabi sensation Karan Aujla the hookstep of Aaye Haaye in just a matter of 10 minutes.
"Every song I do, I treat it new and different. Everything about this song is special. We have the current hitmaker Karan Aujla and the queen of hearts Nora in the song, and that itself makes it special. As I always say, I vibe on a song and go with the feel of the song for choreography," Dev said.
"I just jammed with my team in rehearsals and we ended up making the best choreography for Aaye Haaye," he added.
The choreographer is very glad that he has associated with dancing diva
Nora Fatehi on most of her music videos.
"It's very tricky to crack new things every time and it's a challenge for me and her to deliver the best every time. I know her strengths and weaknesses. I design my movements every time."
He said: "This time it was hard for her because she had just recovered from an ankle injury. I have never seen someone so dedicated to their craft that she kept dancing in the sand while we were shooting. Her foot was swollen but you can never make that out from her face while performing. I just admire her and always get inspired by her passion."
The dancer said that he is always happy to choreograph Nora as he gets to experiment with a lot of stuff.
Calling her a choreographer's dream, he added: "I feel our Jodi is like how Saroj ji and Madhuri ma'am had Govinda and Ganesh masterji. My colleagues always say and I've read the comments that when it's a Nora X Rajit combo it's going to be a banger dance song. Also, this was my first song with Karan Aujla, which is what is making it more special."
Talking about the choreography, he says, "Karan Aujla has never danced in any of his songs ever and Nora and I always make sure there's bang-on dance choreography in the whole song.
"I had an idea of making Karan do a hookstep for this song. I went to him while shooting in his vanity van and I taught him in 10 minutes. He was sweet enough to comply."
The choreographer added: "We jammed and made this hookstep look so cool. I'm hearing such praises for Karan for the way he has danced and vibed. I'm so glad we all made a great memory while shooting this song."

Week 15 Fantasy Football Wrap: Somehow, Josh Allen does it again
Buffalo Bills @ Detroit Lions
Josh Allen followed up last week’s historical fantasy performance with yet another huge game Sunday, throwing and rushing for two touchdowns. Allen had TD runs during the first two drives and 254 passing yards (13.4 YPA!) by halftime. He became just the third player ever with 250 passing yards and two rushing scores in the first half. Allen has totaled 854 yards and 10 touchdowns while committing zero turnovers and taking no sacks over the last two weeks, posting a whopping 93.16 fantasy points. Allen had the fastest 50+ yard throw ever during Sunday’s big win, when he further solidified his case as this year’s MVP.
Jared Goff responded with five TD passes and finished just behind Allen with one of this season’s biggest QB fantasy performances. The Lions faced their largest deficit (21 points) of the year in the third quarter, so game script led to a season-high 59 pass attempts. Goff has a 19:1 TD:INT ratio over his last five home games.
Amon-Ra St. Brown secured 14-of-18 targets and made up for a lost fumble with a 66-yard touchdown catch on a third-and-17. It was the longest catch of St. Brown’s career, and his fantasy day (WR3) would’ve been even bigger if not for being tackled at the one-yard line later in the fourth quarter (Jahmyr Gibbs would punch in the score).
The top two scoring teams in the league didn’t disappoint, totaling an NFL-high 90 points. Bills games have combined to score 176 points over the last two weeks, featuring plenty of fantasy fireworks.
GOFF TO AMON-RA. 66-YARD TD.
Not over in Detroit.

• James Cook scored two touchdowns and finished as fantasy’s RB3, while Gibbs also scored twice and was this week’s RB2.
• Amari Cooper somehow saw zero targets on 34 pass attempts one week after getting 14.
• The Lions attempted an onside kick down 10 points with 12 minutes left, but it failed spectacularly, with the Bills returning it to the five-yard line (Allen tossed a TD the next play). Detroit nearly got its second onside attempt late in the game down just six points.
• The Bills are the first team since 1966 to score and allow 40+ points in back-to-back games.
• Dawson Knox pulled down a nice one-handed grab in the fourth quarter, and he also had a touchdown catch on an Allen two-handed chest pass nullified by penalty later that drive.
• Dan Campbell made a clear mistake in not taking his first timeout before the two-minute warning, curiously letting 35 seconds run off instead.
New York Jets @ Jacksonville Jaguars
• Davante Adams erupted for nine catches, 198 yards (the second-most of his career) and two touchdowns all in the second half Sunday. Adams scored on a fade one play after having a touchdown overturned on replay. It marked the 100th TD of his career and the 80th from Aaron Rodgers, which is the fourth-most in NFL history. Adams’ second touchdown went for 71 yards, and he finished it by completing an Octopus.
Adams then secured one of the best catches of the 2024 season late in the fourth quarter. Adams was less than one yard from scoring his third touchdown of the game but was ruled just short of the end zone during a 41-yard catch with 1:08 left (Jacksonville let Breece Hall score the next play, with New York questionably not kneeling instead). Adams has seen 11+ targets in five of his last six games, and he finished as this week’s WR1 in a game where Rodgers attempted just eight passes in the first half (when the QB also missed Adams for a potential 83-yard touchdown in the first quarter).
RODGERS AND ADAMS MAGIC.
📺: #NYJvsJAX on FOX
📱: https://t.co/waVpO909ge pic.twitter.com/ZIY9UDPVwt— NFL (@NFL) December 15, 2024
• Rodgers’ three completions were the fewest in a first half during any healthy game in his career, but he finished as a top-five fantasy QB this week nevertheless. Rodgers led the Jets in rushing yards (45), finishing with his most in a game since September 2019. His average depth of target (12.4 yards) was in the 95th percentile.
• Hall’s snaps were managed while playing through a knee injury, and his fantasy day would’ve been a true disaster if not for the gifted TD.
• The Jets successfully executed a fake punt on their opening drive.
• Brian Thomas Jr.’s first TD catch snapped Jacksonville’s NFL-high 18 straight games streak without an opening drive touchdown. BTJ added a second TD later, and he had a potential third go off his fingertips in the end zone late in the first half. Thomas Jr. almost had another big play downfield in the third quarter, and he finished as a top-five WR this week with Mac Jones as his QB. I’m ranking BTJ comfortably ahead of Marvin Harrison Jr. next season.
• Jones entered 5-0 versus the Jets during his career, but Sauce Gardner’s first pick of the season ended Sunday’s game.
• Brenton Strange saw 12 targets and was a top-five fantasy tight end this week with Evan Engram out. He’s available in 98% of Yahoo leagues.
Baltimore Ravens @ New York Giants
• Lamar Jackson lost a fumble on the opening drive (his fifth loss of the season), but he went 13-of-14 for 162 yards (11.6 YPA) with a 3:0 TD:INT ratio while leading Baltimore in rushing yards (55) during the first half alone. He finished with a career-high five touchdown passes before resting midway through the fourth quarter. Jackson had more TD tosses than incompletions (four), and his CPOE (+24.2%) was in the 99th percentile. He’s now 19-4 following a loss during his career. Jackson leads the league in Passer Rating, and he surpassed 6,000 career rushing yards — just 108 shy of Michael Vick’s record.
• Derrick Henry hasn’t scored a touchdown in a month, and he posted his worst fantasy game of the season Sunday despite Baltimore scoring 35 points in a game the Ravens entered as the biggest favorites of the 2025 season.
• Mark Andrews caught his eighth touchdown since Week 6 after scoring zero times over the season’s first five weeks.
• Rashod Bateman pulled down two TD catches in the first half, and he also had a near 54-yard touchdown early in the third quarter.
• The Ravens and Giants were the only teams to go for it in every fourth-and-one situation before Baltimore punted during one in the first quarter.
• Tyrone Tracy Jr. suffered a drop and lost a goal-line score to Devin Singletary. The matchup was tough enough, but the rookie back also surprisingly saw just a 55% RB rush share.
• Tim Boyle started the second half and immediately targeted Malik Nabers multiple times, including the end zone. Nabers finally scored his first touchdown since Week 3, marking New York’s first passing TD since November 3. Nabers’ value gets an undeniable boost should the Giants stick with Boyle next week, as Tommy DeVito’s low aDOT has been a major problem.
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Philadelphia Eagles
• Jalen Hurts finished as the QB6 this week ahead of Monday night despite playing with a broken left finger and facing a Pittsburgh defense that entered allowing the fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks. Hurts briefly visited the medical tent, but he otherwise appeared fine throughout Sunday’s game. He got 9.1 YPA and finished with a CPOE (+13.6%) in the 93rd percentile despite being pressured on nearly 50% of his dropbacks after the first drive.
• Saquon Barkley missed more snaps than usual after taking a hit by Minkah Fitzpatrick in the first half, and A.J. Brown appeared to be injured during an awkward hip-drop tackle late in the game. Something to monitor.
• DeVonta Smith saw season highs in targets (12), catches (11) and receiving yards (109) while also recording a TD catch. The Steelers hadn’t let a single wide receiver record 100 yards and a touchdown in a game all season before allowing both Smith and Brown to do so Sunday.
• Philadelphia had just three turnovers over its last nine games before committing two in the first quarter.
• Russell Wilson missed George Pickens, although Pittsburgh was driving to potentially tie the game late in the third quarter before Najee Harris botched a perfect pitch to him. It was a 27-13 game quickly thereafter. The fumble lost was credited to Wilson, but it was on Harris, who also managed just 2.3 YPC.
Dallas Cowboys @ Carolina Panthers
• Rico Dowdle became the first undrafted player in a decade (since Arian Foster) to run for 100+ yards in three straight games. Dowdle ran for a league-high 149 yards this week, but he was barely a top-10 RB without recording a touchdown or target.
• CeeDee Lamb saw 13 targets and caught a touchdown while continuing to maintain fantasy value with Cooper Rush (and while playing injured).
• Brandon Aubrey missed a 70-yard field goal attempt at the end of the first half.
• Bryce Young committed four turnovers and took a major step backward during Carolina’s first game in two years as favorites. Opposing quarterbacks’ Passer Rating has dropped from 126 without Micah Parsons on the field down to 88 with him on it this season, but Dallas was missing DeMarvin Overshown and Trevon Diggs on Sunday (Jourdan Lewis also left injured). Not encouraging stuff from Young this week, as the QB also took six sacks.
• Game script didn’t go as planned for Chuba Hubbard, who suffered from Young’s dud.
• Adam Thielen once again led the Panthers with seven targets, but Jalen Coker made the biggest fantasy impact, hauling in an 83-yard touchdown during his return.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Los Angeles Chargers
• Baker Mayfield got 10.7 YPA, threw four TDs and finished with a CPOE (+14.9%) in the 95th percentile. A healthy Mike Evans could lead to a big fantasy finish by Mayfield.
• Mike Evans set season highs in catches (nine) and receiving yards (159) while pulling down two touchdowns. He could be a fantasy monster down the stretch if healthy and with no Chris Godwin.
• Bucky Irving fought through his back injury and split carries evenly with Rachaad White, who lost a fumble but caught a touchdown. Irving is hard to sit in fantasy leagues even while injured and sharing Tampa Bay’s backfield.
• The Buccaneers scored their NFL-high seventh opening drive touchdown (tied with the Cardinals).
• Justin Herbert threw two touchdowns in the first half, but he could barely move while playing through a thigh contusion and likely a high-ankle sprain. It doesn’t help he next plays Thursday night.
• Stone Smartt lost a fumble, but he finished just behind Ladd McConkey with 50 receiving yards. Smartt also drew a defensive pass interference penalty inside the 10-yard line during the opening drive, leading to a McConkey touchdown.
Green Bay Packers @ Seattle Seahawks
• Josh Jacobs remarkably saw the first eight touches of the game, and he scored a goal-line TD on his ninth. He’d finish with 30 opportunities, his second most of the season. Jacobs has nine touchdown runs over the last five games, and he gets a much easier matchup next week at home against the Saints.
• Jordan Love played well, getting 8.5 YPA and posting a CPOE (+13.3%) in the 93rd percentile. But game script and a run-heavy game plan once again led to limited volume, as Love has averaged just 23 pass attempts over the last five games.
• Romeo Doubs saw just five targets during his return, but he made the most of them while pulling down two impressive touchdowns.
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE CATCH!#ProBowlVote + #RomeoDoubs pic.twitter.com/P8Zu0eEgoD
— Green Bay Packers (@packers) December 16, 2024
• Christian Watson was seemingly banged up late during a meaningless play with the Packers up 30-13 with less than two minutes remaining. Green Bay clinched a playoff spot with the win, but Watson’s status may need to be monitored.
• Geno Smith left in the third quarter with a knee injury, and Sam Howell posted a hideous CPOE (-33.2%) in the first percentile after replacing him. Howell also stayed on brand while taking four sacks on just 14 pass attempts. Jaxon Smith-Njigba has clearly overtaken DK Metcalf as Seattle’s WR1 (while Tyler Lockett fades), but both wideouts would lose fantasy value should Smith miss time.
• Zach Charbonnet only saw eight carries thanks to game script, but he took one 24 yards to the house. Charbonnet has proven he can play over the last two weeks, and he’ll continue to be a bigger part of Seattle’s offense moving forward. That said, Kenneth Walker could return soon, Howell may be starting at QB and the Seahawks face a tough Vikings’ run defense next week.
Miami Dolphins @ Houston Texans
• Nico Collins caught two six-yard touchdowns but finished with a season-low 17 yards. Upgrading Houston’s offensive line should be the team’s top priority during the offseason, and Collins has the potential to be fantasy’s WR1 in 2025.
• Joe Mixon got just 1.9 YPC with a long run of just five yards while clearly battling his ankle injury.
• John Metchie III dropped a ball deep downfield in the third quarter, although Houston executed a successful fake punt on the very next play.
• The Texans have clinched the AFC South.
• Tua Tagovailoa had gone 184 passes without an interception before throwing three Sunday; his final one came thanks to a terrific play by Derek Stingley, who took the ball away from Tyreek Hill to end the game. Tagovailoa managed just 4.9 YPA and also lost a fumble, as Miami’s banged-up offensive line was no help. Tagovailoa has thrown an NFL-high 25% of his passes behind the line of scrimmage this season.
• Jaylen Waddle was rolled up on midway through the second quarter and left the game with a knee injury before recording a catch. Hill finished with just two catches for 36 scoreless yards despite Waddle’s early exit.
• Jonnu Smith leads the Dolphins with 77 targets since Week 5, and he finished as fantasy’s TE1 this week.
Washington Commanders @ New Orleans Saints
• Jayden Daniels became just the fourth rookie QB ever to reach 3,000 passing yards and 500 rushing yards. The ROY favorite has totaled nine touchdowns over the last three games and led Washington in rushing during Sunday’s win.
• Terry McLaurin pulled down two touchdown catches in the first half and matched his season-high with 10 targets. But McLaurin’s big fantasy game could’ve been huge. Daniels just missed a wide-open McLaurin during a busted coverage that would’ve gone for a walk-in 62-yard touchdown. He also underthrew an open McLaurin on a would-be 52-yard TD and overthrew him on another potential 54-yard score all in the second half.
• Brian Robinson Jr. saw 24 touches, but he managed just 87 scoreless yards in a favorable matchup. He was tackled at the one-yard line in the third quarter, only to watch Daniels take a sack on the next play.
• Zach Ertz made a terrific one-handed catch in the red zone but suffered a concussion at the end of the play.
• Alvin Kamara had gone the second-longest stretch of his career (seven games) without a touchdown before pulling down a sick one-handed TD on Sunday. Kamara left the game in the fourth quarter with a groin injury, and Kendre Miller becomes a must-add. Miller is available in 89% of Yahoo leagues.

• Jake Haener had taken more sacks (three) than he had completions (two) late in the first half. His completion percentage over expectation (-26.8%) was in the first percentile. Spencer Rattler (-15% CPOE) wasn’t great after replacing him, but Rattler is the favorite to start next week if Derek Carr can’t return.
• Foster Moreau caught a touchdown as time expired, but New Orleans failed during the ensuing two-point attempt to win the game.
Cincinnati Bengals @ Tennessee Titans
• Joe Burrow committed two turnovers over the first three drives, but he’s already set a career-high in TD passes (36) with three games to go. Burrow improved to 7-0 in Weeks 15 or later during his career, and he tied the record for most games (six) with 250+ passing yards and three TD passes in a season. Burrow is trying to avoid becoming just the fourth QB ever to lead the league in passing yards and touchdowns yet miss the playoffs.
• Chase Brown caught a touchdown early and ran one in late. His TD catch came during a play that was Burrow’s longest time before throwing (9.01 seconds) all season. Brown also drew a long defensive pass interference penalty Sunday. He looks like a top-15 overall pick in 2025 fantasy drafts.
• Ja’Marr Chase was tackled at the one-yard line late in the first half, and Sunday marked his 10th straight game with at least five catches.
• Tony Pollard scored a TD on the opening drive, but he lost a goal-line score and a TD catch to Tyjae Spears. Pollard also lost a fumble and was clearly limited by his ankle injury, but he still saw 17-of-21 RB rush attempts. Pollard entered accounting for the fourth-most scrimmage yards (29%) for his team this season, but a healthy Spears will continue to cut into his touches.
• Spears had only five yards on four carries but finished with more fantasy points than Derrick Henry, Chuba Hubbard and Joe Mixon combined this week thanks to his receiving (7-6-87-1).
• Will Levis had committed zero turnovers over his last two games, but he had four over 12 pass attempts Sunday. He threw another awful pick-six that got him benched for Mason Rudolph. The Bengals should have had a second defensive touchdown, but Jordan Battle lost the ball just before the end zone while returning a fumble.
• The Titans and Bengals combined for the most turnovers (10) in a game since 2007.
Kansas City Chiefs @ Cleveland Browns
• Patrick Mahomes tossed two TDs but managed a season-low 4.2 YPA, finishing with fewer than 160 passing yards for the third game this year. Mahomes was under constant pressure, and he was crunched during a hit in the fourth quarter, leading to Carson Wentz finishing out the win. Mahomes was limping and grimacing while walking off the field after the game, and Kansas City’s next two weeks are short ones.
• Mahomes nearly had a 21-yard touchdown pass to Xavier Worthy, but it was questionably ruled a rush instead. This is absolutely a play that can be changed in a couple of days, leading to a bunch of controversy in fantasy leagues.
• Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt continued to split work evenly; this Chiefs offense isn’t good enough to support two fantasy backs.
• Jameis Winston was benched for Dorian Thompson-Robinson after throwing three picks and taking five sacks on 25 pass attempts. Weather was ugly, but Kansas City’s defense had ranked 29th in EPA/pass and last in pressure rate since Week 8. The Browns committed a whopping six turnovers Sunday.
• Nick Chubb lost a fumble and suffered a broken foot, as injuries continue to bite him.
• Jerome Ford had a 62-yard touchdown run and becomes an obvious must-add with Chubb out for the season. Ford is available in 58% of Yahoo leagues.
• Jerry Jeudy saw another 14 targets, but he’d lose fantasy value should the Browns turn to DTR (Cedric Tillman and David Njoku also might return).
New England Patriots @ Arizona Cardinals
• James Conner scored twice and only needed 21 touches to finish as this week’s top fantasy back. He saw more targets (five) as expected with Emari Demercado inactive, and he punched in two scores from the one. Conner has been the toughest running back to tackle in the league this season.
• Trey McBride now has the most receptions (89) without a TD catch in NFL history. The Cardinals tried, calling for a shovel pass at the one-yard line in the fourth quarter, but the play was stopped. McBride continues to be fed targets unlike many other pass catchers, and he’s somehow fantasy’s TE3 this season despite not catching a single touchdown.
• Kyler Murray played under the weather (revealed after the game started), and he left late in the third quarter (on a play that drew a flag that also wiped out an interception). Murray was cleared to return, but it was another fantasy dud. Murray’s carries per game have dropped for the fourth straight season, and he ran for just 11 yards Sunday.
• Meanwhile, Drake Maye entered averaging the second most QB YPC (9.08) ever as a rookie — behind only Michael Vick in 2001. Maye’s CPOE (+12%) was in the 90th percentile, and he’s going to be a fantasy force for years to come.
Indianapolis Colts @ Denver Broncos
• Anthony Richardson had a 23-yard TD run to finish the opening drive, but he struggled mightily passing once again. He got just 4.5 YPA and finished with a CPOE (-16.1%) in the fifth percentile despite a scaled-back aDOT (8.8 yards). Richardson entered with both the highest big-time throw rate and the highest turnover-worthy play rate this season. It will be worth remembering in 2025 fantasy drafts just how incredibly difficult Richardson’s schedule was in 2024.
• Jonathan Taylor’s sure 41-yard TD run turned into a lost fumble thanks to him letting go of the ball before crossing the goal line. It marked Taylor’s first lost fumble since 2022, and the play completely changed Sunday’s game. Taylor hasn’t scored a rushing TD in six games.
Imagine getting eliminated in the fantasy playoffs because Jonathan Taylor dropped the ball a second earlypic.twitter.com/JE3MQwXXRz
— Yahoo Fantasy Sports (@YahooFantasy) December 15, 2024
• Bo Nix got just 3.9 YPA and threw a career-high three interceptions, but he also tossed three scores. He took a major step back in the Rookie of the Year race Sunday.
• The Broncos recorded a pick-six on a double pass from Adonai Mitchell intended for Richardson.
• Patrick Surtain Jr. had to be helped off the field late, and the Broncos now have a short week.
• The final score was highly misleading, as the Broncos won 31-13 while becoming the first team to win by double digits with fewer than 200 yards this season.

7 foreign tourists hospitalized in Fiji after drinking cocktails at a resort bar
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Seven foreign tourists were hospitalized in Fiji after drinking cocktails at a resort bar, Fijian authorities said on Monday.
The cause of their illness was not known and officials said it was too soon to know if tainted alcohol was involved.
Those who became ill at the five-star Warwick resort near the town of Sigatoka on Saturday included Australians and an American, according to local news reports. They were hospitalized with nausea, vomiting and neurological symptoms, said Jemesa Tudravu, a Fiji Health Ministry spokesperson.
Two people remained in the hospital, conscious and in stable condition, Fiji’s Tourism Minister Viliame R. Gavoka told reporters on Monday. One person was discharged on Sunday and four others on Monday.
David Sandoe, an Australian man who said his daughter and granddaughter were hospitalized, told Sky News Australia that his relatives had been released from the hospital and were due to fly home on Monday night.
Local news outlets reported on Sunday that the cause of the foreigners’ illness was suspected alcohol poisoning, similar to a case in Laos in November in which six tourists — including two Australian teenagers — died after consuming tainted drinks.
But Tudravu said no cause had been identified in the Fiji episode. Police have ordered toxicology tests and are awaiting results — which are expected to take three or four days — Gavoka said.
The bar was full of customers on Saturday night and many had ordered piña coladas, the drink consumed by those who became ill, said the official.
Gavoka said no other reports of similar illness were recorded at the resort or across Fiji, a South Pacific island nation of 930,000 people.
“The resort management has assured us that they have not engaged in practices such as substituting ingredients or altering the quality of drinks served to guests,” Gavoka said. The hotel, located on the picturesque Coral Coast of the largest island, Viti Levu, has operated for many years and “holds a strong reputation,” he added.
“This is the only reported case of its kind that we’ve experienced in recent memory, and certainly nothing like this has been experienced this year,” Gavoka said.
Australia’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement that officials are providing consular assistance to two Australian families in Fiji.
The ministry did not comment on the cause of the Australians’ illness, but its website advising tourists was updated on Monday to caution travelers about “potential risks around drink spiking and methanol poisoning through consuming alcoholic drinks.”
A spokesperson for the resort, Savaira Molaucake, said staff were “conducting a thorough investigation” of the incident and were working closely with authorities.

Club America Wins Liga MX Apertura 2024: Things We Learned From the Final
Club América made history by winning a third consecutive Liga MX title, tying 1–1 against Monterrey in the second leg of the final winning 3–2 on aggregate.
América played like a deserving champion, looking like the better team for the vast majority of both games. In the second leg, the team looked comfortable as the visitor, controlling the game and opening the scoring in the 24th minute with a beauty of a goal by Richard Sánchez.
After that, América concentrated on being well positioned defensively and for much of the night, Monterrey didn't threaten Luis Malagón's goal. It wasn't until the 85th minute that Johan Rojas pulled Monterrey within one of sending the game to extra time, but it wasn't to be and América are once again champions of Mexico.
It was a dynasty-cementing night for Las Águilas, here's what we learned from the Liga MX Apertura 2024 final.
Richard Sánchez's Scored a Worthy Title Clinching Goal
Sánchez has made a habit with América of scoring absolute screamers in big games. In the final, he delivered once again.
Alejandro Zendejas went up for a cross on the edge of the box and softly headed the ball backwards, leaving it bouncing for a charging Sánchez to arrive from midfield and fire a rocket from 25 yards out that hit the post and went in. A glorious strike that gave América a two goal lead in a final that they would not let go.
Sánchez didn't play a single minute for América since October, relegated to the bottom of the depth chart. However, in the past week, he played a pivotal role in his two playoff appearances. The Paraguay international scored a screamer in the semi final against Cruz Azul, and in the final, he scored this marvelous strike that sealed América's 16th Liga MX title.
Monterrey Wasted 80 Minutes of the Final
Aside from Sergio Canales's strike to open the scoring in the first leg, Monterrey looked toothless in attack in the final 135 minutes of the final.
Despite the talented players in Monterrey's squad, they never managed to translate that into a cohesive attacking system. The team looked lost whenever they reached the final third, lacking ideas or any creativity to pick out a pass. As desperation grew, Monterrey opted to spam crosses as their only formula to try and get back into the game, something América was prepared for with their three center backs clearing wave after wave of incoming crosses from the wings.
In the end, Monterrey managed to score the game's equalizer in the 85th minute, making the final minutes of the game dramatic as they charged forward, bombarding the box with crosses as América nervously tried to see out the game. However, it was too little too late and Monterrey will go into the offseason wondering what could've been.
Lucas Ocampos got injured less than five minutes into the first leg and he was dearly missed. However, Monterrey can't use his absence as an excuse for such a lethargic display of attacking soccer in the biggest game of the year.
Club America Makes History With Their Third Consecutive Liga MX Championship
América placed the finishing touches on a dynasty.
No team in the top flight of Mexican soccer had managed to win three straight titles since 1985. No team had won three consecutive titles since the implementation of short tournaments in Mexican soccer. Yes, this América team did something never before seen in Liga MX. Yes, this América team now sits among the greatest to ever play in the country's top flight.
André Jardine improved his playoff record with América to 9–0, solidifying his status as one of the greatest managers in the club's history. Thirteen players in the current squad have been part of all three championships. Figures like Luis Malagón, Álvaro Fidalgo, Sebastián Cáceres and Henry Martín, now sit at the table among the greatest players to ever wear the cream, yellow and blue colors.
After an up-and-down regular season, no team was better than América in the playoffs. The team played like champions and deservedly ended up as such. Now, América, with their 16th title—the most in Liga MX history—and third in a row, can continue to make a case of why they're the greatest team in Mexican soccer history.

7 foreign tourists hospitalized in Fiji after drinking cocktails at a resort bar
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Seven foreign tourists were hospitalized in Fiji after drinking cocktails at a resort bar, Fijian authorities said on Monday.

Those who became ill at the five-star Warwick resort near the town of Sigatoka on Saturday included Australians and an American, according to local news reports. They were hospitalized with nausea, vomiting and neurological symptoms, said Jemesa Tudravu, a Fiji Health Ministry spokesperson.

David Sandoe, an Australian man who said his daughter and granddaughter were hospitalized, told Sky News Australia that his relatives had been released from the hospital and were due to fly home on Monday night.

Jordan Love throws for 2 TDs and Packers beat Seahawks 30-13 as Seattle QB Geno Smith injures knee
SEATTLE (AP) — Jordan Love threw two touchdown passes to Romeo Doubs and the Green Bay Packers ended Seattle’s four-game winning streak with a 30-13 victory Sunday night over the Seahawks, who lost quarterback Geno Smith to a knee injury.
Josh Jacobs ran for 94 yards and a touchdown for the Packers (10-4), who have won eight of 10. Jacobs finished with 136 yards from scrimmage and Brandon McManus kicked three field goals.
After Doubs made an impressive grab in the back of the end zone late in the fourth quarter for his second TD, Packers fans at Lumen Field chanted, “Go Pack Go!”
Smith was hit low by Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper in the third quarter and threw his helmet to the ground after he limped off the field. He was replaced by Sam Howell, who had just one previous snap for the Seahawks (8-6).
Smith completed 15 of 19 passes for 149 yards, and Howell went 5 of 14 for 24 yards and a pick.
The Packers’ two losses over their last 10 have come to NFC North-leading Detroit, including a 34-31 defeat on Dec. 5, meaning the division title is likely out of reach. Green Bay has yet to clinch a playoff spot.
The Seahawks fell into a first-place tie with the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC West, and Smith’s injury could impact their chances of winning the division.
Love finished 20 of 27 for 229 yards, and Doubs had three catches for 40 yards.
Smith was intercepted in the end zone in the first half and the Seahawks trailed 20-3 at the break. Green Bay scored on all four of its first-half possessions.
An unnecessary roughness penalty on Seattle’s Riq Woolen that put the Packers on the Seattle 28 on their initial possession. Jacobs’ 1-yard TD run capped the drive.
The Packers went up 14-0 on Love’s 13-yard pass to Doubs, who dragged two defenders with him into the end zone before waving at a television camera.
The Seahawks closed the gap on Jason Myers’ 48-yard field goal, but McManus answered with a 38-yarder for the Packers.
The Seahawks drove to the Green Bay 12, but Smith’s pass intended for Noah Fant was intercepted by in the end zone by Carrington Valentine, the first career pick for the second-year defensive back.
It was Smith’s 13th interception this season and fourth in the end zone.
Woolen was flagged for pass interference on Doubs on Green Bay’s final series of the half, but the Packers settled for McManus’ 21-yard field goal.
The Seahawks showed life early in the fourth quarter on Zach Charbonnet’s 24-yard touchdown run that made it 23-13. Three plays later, Doubs put it away with his pretty 22-yard throw to Doubs, who got his elbow down in the back of the end zone.
Green Bay, making its first trip to Lumen Field since 2018, had not won at Seattle since 2008.
Injuries
Packers: LB Quay Walker (ankle) left in the first half and did not return. All-Pro CB Jaire Alexander (knee) was inactive for a fourth straight game.
Seahawks: RB Kenneth Walker III did not play. C Olu Oluwatimi injured his right knee in the first half and his return was doubtful.
Up next
Packers: Host New Orleans on Monday, Dec. 23.
Seahawks: Host Minnesota next Sunday.

Diljit Dosanjh is currently having his Dil-lumanati tour which sees him travel to different cities in India and perform. After performing in Pune, Bengaluru, Jaipur, Hyderabad and many other cities, Diljit was in Chandigarh on Saturday. During his show, he revealed that he wants to dedicate today's concert to Gukesh who made history by becoming the youngest champion in sports history.
Poll
Which part of Diljit Dosanjh's performance do you enjoy the most?
He China's Ding Liren in the final game of their FIDE World Championship match. The next day, Gukesh received his FIDE World Championship trophy. Diljit said during the show, "Today's show is dedicated to world chess champion Gukesh. Do you know why it is dedicated to him? Because whatever you think in life, he has already thought about becoming a world champion. And he became that. Problems are there, I face them daily."
After Gukesh, he also spoke about
Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa 2'. He asked the audience if they've watched the movie and revealed that he's watched only the first part of the film and not second. He said that the first part of the film was very good. He said, "There's a dialogue in the film, 'Jhukega nahi saala'.
Diljit also talked about Allu Arjun-starrer Pushpa movies. The singer shared that he watched the first part, Pushpa: The Rise but not the second film, Pushpa 2: The Rule. Diljit also praised the film. He also referred to Arjun's famous dialogue, "jhukega nahi Saala."
He then joked, "Saaala nahi jhukega toh Jija jhuk jayega (referring to himself)" This left everyone in splits and the audience was left cheering. This happened amidst the fact that Allu Arjun was detained by the Police on Friday night and he was kept in jail till Saturday morning with regards to a lady's death in a stampede which occured at the screening of 'Pushpa 2'.
Meanwhile, 'Pushpa 2' has been breaking all the records at the box office.

50 Christmas Bar Recipes That'll Land You On Santa's Nice List
It's no surprise that Christmas cookies get all the hype this time of year, but hear us out: Christmas bars are actually where it’s at. They’re easier to make because there’s no scooping or rolling of cookie dough, they’re perfect for sharing at every holiday occasion, from potlucks to cookie swaps, and the layers, oh the layers. Since you assemble them in one pan, there’s SO much opportunity to layer in a ton of flavors (chocolate! caramel! cheesecake!). Check out our 50 Christmas dessert bars for inspiration, then leave a plate out for Santa—he’ll never know what hit him.
First things first, let’s make sure we’ve got our definition straight. For us, it’s about the shape (square, though triangles are welcome if you want to get creative) and the assembly more than what makes up a bar. Cookie bars are classic, so we’ve included our chocolate chip, M&M, gingerbread, and magic cookie bars. It’s not all about cookie flavors, though:
We think brownies—like our mint chocolate chip brownies, our pecan pie brownies, and our spiced hot chocolate brownies—count too. Ditto blondies, like our snickerdoodle blondies, our cookies 'n' cream blondies, and our gingerbread blondies. Bars involving cheesecake are also always a hit (and are SO much easier to make than the full-size version). Check out our lemon cranberry cheesecake bars, our hot fudge cheesecake bars, or our snickerdoodle cheesecake bars for ideas. Looking for something super simple?
Want even more holiday desserts? Check out our favorite easy holiday desserts, our top Christmas cakes, and our best cute Christmas treats too.
Christmas Blondies
We can't think of a better way to celebrate the holidays than these festive blondies loaded with M&M's, crushed Oreos, and chocolate chips.

French Silk Brownies
Gingerbread Blondies

Get the Gingerbread Blondies recipe.
Christmas Tree Brownies

The chewy yet tender brown sugar base here is swirled with chai spices and espresso-spiked caramel, then topped with a black tea glaze to create a decadent and satisfying snack. Skip the coffee shop pastry and enjoy this treat all holiday season long.
Get the Dirty Chai Blondies recipe.
Spiced Hot Chocolate Brownies
Mexican hot chocolate is a unique take on everyone's favorite winter beverage. It’s rich in chocolate, not too sweet, and the added spices will surprise yet comfort you. These brownies are inspired by their classic flavor, with a little something extra.
Get the Spiced Hot Chocolate Brownies recipe.
Lemon Cranberry Cheesecake Bars
Tart, tangy, and sweet, these cheesecake bars are sandwiched between a pastry crust that just happens to be super-easy to make (thank you, store-bought crescent roll dough!). Plus, we snuck in one of our favorite spice combos to add a cozy touch: pumpkin spice.
Get the Lemon Cranberry Cheesecake Bars recipe.
Copycat Klondike Bars
Klondike Bars are the perfect frozen treat, one we crave even when it's cold outside. They're a grocery freezer case staple, but what if we told you that they're easy to make at home with a simple no-churn ice cream and a two-ingredient DIY chocolate topping?
Get the Copycat Klondike Bars recipe.
Andes Brownie
A brownie that looks and tastes like Andes Mints are a dream come true for chocolate-mint lovers. Feel free to add some crushed peppermints to the top to make these extra festive.
Get the Andes Brownie recipe.
Peppermint Bark Brownies
This recipe can be as fancy or as simple as you want, depending on the type of brownies you make. TBH, this peppermint white chocolate frosting would be amazing on pretty much anything. You could even sub out the brownies for cookies or even... brookies! The delicious options are endless.
Get the Peppermint Bark Brownies recipe.
Nutella Blondies
In this recipe, chewy, sweet blondies are swirled with Nutella for a decadent, but SUPER easy holiday dessert. They only require one bowl, and swirling the Nutella on top is easier than it looks.
Get the Nutella Blondies recipe.
These have all the comfort of a chocolate chip cookie, with the added crunch of M&M's and the heft of a bar shape, making for a delicious treat that’s impossible to put down. Try them with seasonal M&M's to switch them up for holidays too.
Get the M&M Cookie Bars recipe.
No-Bake Buckeye Cheesecake Bars
Buckeyes are a beloved truffle made of a rich peanut butter filling that are dipped in chocolate. They're easy to make, but these no-bake cheesecake bars might be even easier—no individual rolling or dipping required!
Get the No-Bake Buckeye Cheesecake Bars recipe.
Maple Butter Blondies
Inspired by the cream cheese-maple sauce drizzled on the butter pecan blondies at Applebee's, these easy white chocolate chip blondies highlight a very underutilized baking ingredient: maple syrup. Feel free to use walnuts or pecans here, whichever you prefer.
Get the Maple Butter Blondies recipe.
These citrusy bars are the perfect make-ahead dessert. They need a long chill time, so pop 'em in the fridge and leave them overnight. The next day, you'll be rewarded with perfectly set squares you can take on the go. They're sure to brighten up even the grayest of winter days.
Get the Lemon Bars recipe.
Copycat Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars
This is the easiest Starbucks copycat recipe. These chewy blondies are studded with white chocolate chips and cranberries and then get a sweet orange cream cheese frosting and an extra drizzle of white chocolate just for fun.
Get the Copycat Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars recipe.
Snickerdoodle Blondies
While we love classic snickerdoodles, when we're craving a fun holiday dessert, we turn to these cookie-inspired blondies every single time. Perfectly tender and chewy (with a cinnamon-sugar topping), these blondies get that signature snickerdoodle texture and flavor without cream of tartar.
Get the Snickerdoodle Blondies recipe.
Mint Chocolate Chip Brownies
These brownies have a secret layer of Andes Mints under all that glorious green frosting and on top for even more minty flavor.
Get the Mint Chocolate Chip Brownies recipe.
Honey & Peanut Butter Blondies
These blondies are like a honey & peanut butter sandwich, in dessert form. They're thick and chewy with all of the honey flavor shining through—they're sure to make you feel like a kid again.
Get the Honey & Peanut Butter Blondies recipe.
Red Velvet Cookies & Cream Bars
If you love our cookies & cream brownies and red velvet cake, these bars are for you. They'll make a festive, unique addition to any holiday dessert table.
Get the Red Velvet Cookies & Cream Bars recipe.
Pecan Pie Brownies
We're not willing to leave pecan pie behind at Thanksgiving, so we're baking these brownies all the way through the holiday season.
Get the Pecan Pie Brownies recipe.
Orange Creamsicle Bars
These triple-layered orange bars have us feeling all nostalgic for the classic frozen Popsicle treat that inspired them. But we won’t linger on it for too long because, just like their inspiration, these bars are irresistibly good. They’re creamy, dreamy, and the perfect blend of citrusy orange and vanilla.
Get the Orange Creamsicle Bars recipe.
Rolo Stuffed Blondies
Decadent doesn't even BEGIN to describe these blondies. Try them with any variety of chocolate candies (we bet Heath bars or Twix would be great too!).
Get the Rolo Stuffed Blondies recipe.
Cheesecake-Swirled Ghirardelli Brownies
We’re no strangers to jazzing up a store-bought baking mix, and these cheesecake-swirled brownies are the perfect example. Because it's a solid brand with a focus on fine chocolate, these bars are a step above the rest that'll impress anyone you share them with this holiday.
Get the Cheesecake-Swirled Ghirardelli Brownies recipe.
Blondies do have more fun, especially when they're stuffed with both Oreos and Hershey's Cookies 'N' Creme Bars. Life is GOOD.
Get the Cookies 'N' Cream Blondies recipe.
Salted Caramel Brownies
We think this recipe is pretty fudgin' awesome, but if you want to use a boxed brownie mix instead, feel free. Here it's all about the creamy caramel sauce. Don't skip the Maldon—it's crucial for getting that light hit of salt without making the whole dessert taste salty.
Get the Salted Caramel Brownies recipe.
Cookies 'N' Cream Millionaire Shortbread
Just when we thought a millionaire shortbread couldn’t get richer, we switched up the classic recipe to feature layers of chocolate shortbread, chocolate caramel, and an added bonus of a cookie 'n' cream filling.
Get the Cookies 'N' Cream Millionaire Shortbread recipe.
Magic Cookie Bars
Though dump cakes might be the easiest dessert to make, these bars are a close second. And we'd reckon that these are even more customizable and more delicious. We encourage you to find your ideal flavor and ingredient combinations to discover the true magic of these bars.
Get the Magic Cookie Bars recipe.
Nanaimo Bars
This easy and delicious dessert bar hails from Canada, and we can't get enough of it (and its gorgeous layers)! Its first layer is chocolate, second is a custard-y buttercream, and the third (the best TBH) is a stellar combo of graham cracker crumbs, coconut, and toasted pecans. 😍
Get the Nanaimo Bars recipe.
Peanut Butter Pretzel Butterscotch Blondies
Love a salty-sweet dessert? Prepare to meet your new obsession. Studded with pretzels and butterscotch chips, these rich peanut butter blondies rival any brownie or magic bar out there.

Get the Oreo Cheesecake Bars recipe.
Oatmeal Fudge Bars

Get the Oatmeal Fudge Bars recipe.
Snickerdoodle Cheesecake Bars
Snickerdoodle blondies + creamy cheesecake = MAJOR success. Don't worry if the top of the cheesecake isn't perfectly covered with cookie dough. It's meant to be a little bit crumbly. 😉
Get the Snickerdoodle Cheesecake Bars recipe.
Cookie Lovers Cheesecake Bars
These cheesecake bars have a chocolate chip cookie crust and are topped with Chips Ahoy and Oreos to drive the theme home. The blue is just for fun, so feel free to skip it or change it up for red or green.
Get the Cookie Lovers Cheesecake Bars recipe.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
If you're looking for an easy treat with a nostalgic taste, how about everyone’s all-time favorite chocolate chip cookie, but in bar form? No rolling or scooping little balls, no multiple sheet pans, AND you can store them right in the pan you baked them in. 😍
Get the Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars recipe.

Bollywood actress
Parineeti Chopra is in the National Capital and has revealed her plans on how she is going to spend her "48 hours" at home.
Parineeti took to Instagram stories, where she shared a video of herself in the car driving to her "home".
For the caption, she wrote: "Wait for it home for the weekend." Along with the geotag of Delhi, India.
She then shared a photograph of herself holding a soft quilt.
Parineeti, who is married to politician Raghav Chaddha, wrote: "Came to enjoy 48 hours of blankets and sweaters."
The actress was earlier in Goa, where she shared a glimpse of her "night shift" on social media. She took to her Instagram stories and offered fans a peek into her filming sessions in the coastal state.
She posted a photo from the sets and wrote in the caption, "Chalo night shift karne." A photo of the script, featuring her name, was also visible.
On the work front, Parineeti was last seen in the biopic 'Amar Singh Chamkila,' directed by Imtiaz Ali. In the Netflix film, she starred alongside Diljit Dosanjh and portrayed the role of Amarjot Kaur, the wife of the legendary singer Chamkila. For this challenging role, Parineeti underwent a remarkable physical transformation, gaining 16 kg to truly embody her character.
Next, Parineeti will star in the highly anticipated thriller 'Sanki,' directed by Anurag Singh, where she will share the screen with
Varun Dhawan. The project will mark her first onscreen collaboration with Varun.
Additionally, she is set to feature in 'Shiddat 2', directed by Karan Sharma, where she will act alongside Sunny Kaushal and Amyra Dastur. The film is expected to release in early 2025. The first part of the film starred Kaushal, Mohit Raina, Diana Penty, Arjun Singh, and Radhikka Madan.

LANCASTER – Today is 65 years that WDAC signed on the air from its location in southern Lancaster County. The station’s founder, evangelist Percy Crawford chose Lancaster as one of nine cities where he began radio stations because a Lancaster AM station canceled his contract for morning air time when they disapproved of one of his radio messages. The FCC allowed Percy Crawford to use the letters “DAC” for the radio station. The initials were for one of his sons, Dean Alan Crawford. The station is now owned by Percy’s son, Richard Crawford. In 1959, WDAC was the first FM station in the Lancaster area providing commercial programming at a time when virtually no car radios and few table radios had an FM band. We thank God for His blessing of 65 years of ministry for the Lord Jesus Christ via radio and we thank you in our listening audience for your support and your prayers as together we serve a risen and coming Savior.

Former FBI informant will plead guilty to lying about phony bribery scheme involving the Bidens
WASHINGTON (AP) — A former FBI informant is set to plead guilty on Monday to lying about a phony bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden and his son Hunter that became central to the Republican impeachment inquiry in Congress.
Alexander Smirnov is expected to make the plea in Los Angeles to a felony charge in connection with the bogus story, along with a tax evasion charge stemming from a separate indictment accusing him of concealing millions of dollars of income, according to court papers.
Smirnov has been behind bars since his arrest in February on charges that he told his FBI handler that executives from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma had paid President Biden and Hunter Biden $5 million each around 2015.
Prosecutors and the defense have agreed to recommend a sentence of between four and six years in prison, according to the plea agreement.
Smirnov had been an informant for more than a decade when he made the explosive allegations about the Bidens in June 2020, after “expressing bias” about Joe Biden as a presidential candidate, prosecutors said.
But Smirnov had only routine business dealings with Burisma starting in 2017, according to court documents. An FBI field office investigated the allegations and recommended the case be closed in August 2020, according to charging documents.
No evidence has emerged that Joe Biden acted corruptly or accepted bribes in his current role or previous office as vice president.
While his identity wasn’t publicly known before the indictment, Smirnov’s claims played a major part in the Republican effort in Congress to investigate the president and his family, and helped spark a House impeachment inquiry into Biden. Before Smirnov’s arrest, Republicans had demanded the FBI release the unredacted form documenting the unverified allegations, though they acknowledged they couldn’t confirm if they were true.
During a September 2023 conversation with investigators, Smirnov also claimed the Russians likely had recordings of Hunter Biden because a hotel in Ukraine’s capital where he had stayed was “wired” and under their control — information he said was passed along to him by four high-level Russian officials.
But Hunter Biden had never traveled to Ukraine, according to Smirnov’s indictment.
Smirnov claimed to have contacts with Russian intelligence-affiliated officials, and told authorities after his arrest earlier this year that “officials associated with Russian intelligence were involved in passing a story” about Hunter Biden.
The case against Smirnov was brought by special counsel David Weiss, who also prosecuted Hunter Biden on gun and tax charges. Hunter Biden was supposed to be sentenced this month after being convicted at trial in the gun case and pleading guilty to federal charges in the tax case. But he was pardoned earlier this month by his father, who said he believed “raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice.”

Wind energy project off Morro Bay paused after Trump’s win
December 15, 2024
By KAREN VELIE
Energy giant Equinor paused its plan to build an offshore wind farm off the coast of Morro Bay following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory.
The Norwegian-based primarily oil and gas corporation plans to continue fulfilling its local lease conditions while suspending some operations for the next two to three years, according to communications from company representatives to Central Coast fisherman. Equinor recently canceled wind energy projects in Vietnam, Spain and Portugal.
In 2022, the federal government auctioned off three offshore wind energy sites located between 20 and 30 miles off the coast near Morro Bay. Then in Dec. 2023, the state issued Equinor a permit allowing survey work to begin.
Even though the California Coastal Commission determined that site survey activities would not affect fish and other marine species, local fishermen reported catch numbers down 67% to 70% while Equinor did sonar work off the coast earlier this year. Fisherman groups have filed several legal challenges against the international energy conglomerate.
Trump has vowed to end offshore wind energy projects his first day in office.
Trump ran on lowering housing and energy costs. During his campaign speeches, he described offshore wind energy as “the most expensive energy there is.” He noted environmental concerns such as whale and bird deaths.
“We are going to make sure that that ends on day one,” Trump said during a campaign speech. “I’m going to write it out in an executive order. It’s going to end on day one.”

Germany’s Scholz faces a confidence vote. It’s expected to lead to an election in February
BERLIN (AP) — Chancellor Olaf Scholz faces a confidence vote in the German parliament on Monday that he’s expected to lose, paving the way for the European Union’s most populous member and biggest economy to hold an early election in February.
Scholz’s notoriously rancorous three-party government collapsed on Nov. 6 when the chancellor fired his finance minister in a long-running dispute over how to revitalize Germany’s stagnant economy, and the minister’s pro-business party quit the coalition. That left the remaining two center-left partners without a majority in parliament.
Leaders of several major parties then agreed that a parliamentary election should be held on Feb. 23, seven months earlier than originally planned. Post-World War II Germany’s constitution doesn’t allow parliament’s lower house, or Bundestag, to dissolve itself — so a confidence vote is needed to set in motion the early election.
What is likely to happen?
Scholz’s Social Democrats hold 207 seats in the Bundestag and are expected to vote for the chancellor. Their remaining coalition partners, the environmentalist Greens, have 117 and plan to abstain. That should mean Scholz gets nowhere near the majority of 367 in the 733-seat chamber needed to win the confidence vote.
If Scholz loses, it will up to up to President Frank-Walter Steinmeier to decide whether to dissolve the Bundestag. Steinmeier, who said last month that “this country needs stable majorities and a government that is capable of acting,” has 21 days to make that decision. Once parliament is dissolved, the election must be held within 60 days.
In practice, the campaign is already well underway.
Who is in the race?
As he formally requested the confidence vote on Wednesday, Scholz said that voters will “decide in the election how we answer the big questions that we face.”
Those, he said, include whether Germany decides to “invest strongly in our future,” secure jobs and modernize its industry, keep pension levels stable and “come closer to a just peace in Ukraine without Germany being drawn into the war.” Germany has become Ukraine’s biggest military supplier in Europe, but Scholz also has refused to supply long-range Taurus cruise missiles over concerns of escalating the war with Russia.
Center-right challenger Friedrich Merz on Saturday predicted “one of the hardest election campaigns” in modern German history, as Scholz’s Social Democrats “have their backs to the wall.” He said that it’s crucial to make the economy more competitive, because “the competitiveness of our economy is the precondition for everything else.”
Polls show Scholz’s party trailing behind Merz’s main opposition Union bloc. Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck, whose Greens are further back, is also bidding for the top job.
The far-right Alternative for Germany, which is polling strongly, has nominated Alice Weidel as its candidate for chancellor but has no chance of taking the job because other parties refuse to work with it.
Confidence votes are rare in Germany, a country of 83 million people that prizes stability. This is only the sixth time in its postwar history that a chancellor has called one.
The last was in 2005, when then-Chancellor Gerhard Schröder engineered an early election that was narrowly won by center-right challenger Angela Merkel.

Filmmaker
Imtiaz Ali recently addressed longstanding rumors that
Shah Rukh Khan’s star power compromised his creative vision for the 2017 romantic comedy 'Jab Harry Met Sejal'. The film, starring Khan and
Anushka Sharma, underperformed at the box office, sparking speculation about potential conflicts between the actor’s influence and the director’s storytelling.
In a recent interview with GQ India, Imtiaz Ali dismissed the claims, asserting that Shah Rukh Khan never overstepped during the film’s production. “Shah Rukh never imposed himself on the film,” Ali said. “But he is a huge star with an enormous fan base. He has a lot of expectations to fulfill, and I wasn’t writing to serve that. I did not consider the scale of his stardom.”
Reflecting on the film’s reception, Ali acknowledged that the story could have been better structured, hinting at missed opportunities to clarify the characters’ motivations. He mentioned that additional elements like flashbacks or a more traditional narrative approach might have benefited the film. “Certain elements need to be included in the script to make it work, but the soul of the film must remain intact,” he explained.
Ali also shared his broader perspective on filmmaking. He admitted that with Jab Harry Met Sejal, he attempted to make his storytelling more accessible and mainstream, only to realize it didn’t align with his natural style. He emphasized the importance of staying true to a filmmaker’s vision, regardless of external pressures.
Previously, in an interview with Mid-Day, Ali had stated that a film’s lack of commercial success doesn’t mean it was entirely flawed. He noted that every project is a learning experience and that a director’s priority should be to create films they genuinely believe in.
'Jab Harry Met Sejal' featured Shah Rukh Khan as Harinder Singh Nehra, a Punjabi tour guide, and Anushka Sharma as Sejal Parikh, a Gujarati woman searching for her lost engagement ring in Europe.

Recently,
Shah Rukh Khan's daughter
Suhana Khan was spotted at an event with Jackie Shroff. When the party ended, Jackie, whose daughter Krishna is around the same age as Suhana, donned on the role of a protective uncle, and escorted Suhana to the car. He even told paps not to flash lights on her face. Touched, Suhana gestured thank you to the actor before moving ahead. Take a look...
While on King Khan, Shah Rukh Khan is returning to The Lion King with his sons Aryan Khan and AbRam Khan. The superstar shared that his youngest son, AbRam, put in a lot of effort to memorize his lines and he was proud of his dedication.
SRK spoke about working with his sons in a new video released by the studio on Tuesday. The video, shared on Instagram, shows Shah Rukh reflecting on his experience of working with Aryan in The Incredibles.
Shah Rukh shared that when he and Aryan did the dubbing for The Incredibles, it was more challenging compared to today. He mentioned that what stood out about both his sons was their patience, something he hadn't expected them to have at such a young age.
The actor mentioned that both of his sons prepared extensively for the project, taking time to learn their Hindi lines. He also noted that when Aryan did the dubbing for The Incredibles, there were more people speaking in Hindi, which made it slightly easier to learn and perform the lines.
Shah Rukh expressed his concern about whether AbRam would be able to adapt to the changes over the years, as people now tend to speak more in English. He shared that he was happy to see AbRam put in the effort, learning his 20-25 Hindi lines with his sister Suhana, making it a family effort.
SRK observed that both Aryan and AbRam have delicate voices. He mentioned that Aryan’s voice has changed over time, and he hopes that AbRam's voice will also evolve in a similar way over the next 8 to 10 years. He added that having their voices preserved in a film is a cherished memory and a special keepsake for him.
Mufasa: The Lion King is a prequel directed by
Barry Jenkins, inspired by the 1994 animated classic The Lion King. The film will explore the story of Simba's father, following his journey from an orphaned lion cub to becoming a leader. It is a continuation of the 2019 adaptation by Jon Favreau.

1.1 Fastest growing segment:
On-premises Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platforms are essential for organizations to manage their structural policies, risks, and adherence to regulations. These platforms consist of three dimensions: corporate governance, risk management, and compliance. Corporate governance involves implementing policies to ensure business objectives are met. Risk management identifies and manages operational, financial, and fraud risks. Compliance enforces adherence to regional regulations and standards. On-premises GRC solutions, such as HighBond and RSA Archer, automate reporting and documentation processes, streamline collaboration, and support international standards like GAAP and IFRS. The market for on-premises GRC platforms is growing due to the increasing need to manage risks associated with emerging technologies like AI. For instance, Credo AI's new GRC platform caters specifically to AI systems, ensuring responsible and compliant use. Despite the high installation costs, ranging from USD200,000 to USD600,000, large businesses are the primary adopters. These platforms bring structure and cohesion to an organization's risk management and compliance efforts.
Analyst Review
The Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platform market is a critical business solution that helps managers mitigate risks, ensure compliance with regulations, and maintain social media governance in today's complex business environment. With the increasing costs of non-compliance and the ever-changing regulatory landscape, GRC platforms have become essential for financial institutions and other businesses, particularly those with global operations and IT Telecom infrastructure. GRC platforms provide risk management and compliance solutions through software that integrates with various business processes, intellectual property, and technology systems. These platforms help organizations manage cyberthreats, social media governance, and complex compliance requirements. However, high implementation expenses and the complexity of integration can pose challenges. Advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning are being integrated into GRC platforms, such as Azure Purview and MetricStream, to enhance their capabilities and provide more accurate risk assessments and compliance monitoring. The use of these technologies can help organizations reduce costs and improve efficiency in their GRC functions. As business processes continue to evolve and globalization increases, the importance of GRC platforms will only grow. Organizations must stay up-to-date with the latest regulatory requirements and technology trends to effectively manage their risks and ensure compliance.
Market Overview
The Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platform market is a dynamic and evolving industry focused on helping businesses manage complex regulatory environments, mitigate risks, and ensure compliance with various regulations and standards.

The market caters to diverse industries, including construction and engineering, transportation and logistics, financial institutions, IT telecom, and healthcare sectors. GRC solutions offer advanced features such as risk management, policy management, audit management, and compliance management. The deployment model for GRC platforms includes on-premises and cloud-based solutions. On-premises deployment provides greater control and customization, while cloud-based solutions offer flexibility and scalability.

The changing regulatory environment, globalization, and technology integration pose challenges to the market, necessitating continuous innovation and adaptation. High implementation expenses and the complexity of integration are some of the challenges faced by organizations adopting GRC platforms.

South Korean investigators push to summon impeached president as court set to determine his fate
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korean law enforcement authorities are pushing to summon impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol for questioning over his short-lived martial law decree as the Constitutional Court began its first meeting Monday on Yoon’s case to determine whether to remove him from office or reinstate him.
A joint investigative team involving police, an anti-corruption agency and the Defense Ministry said it wants to question Yoon on charges of rebellion and abuse of power in connection with his ill-conceived power grab.
The team on Monday morning tried to convey a request to Yoon’s office that he appear for questioning on Wednesday but was rerouted to Yoon’s personal residence, Son Yeong-jo, an investigator with the Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials, told reporters.
Son cited presidential secretarial staff as claiming they were unsure whether conveying the request to the impeached president was part of their duties. He declined to provide specifics when asked how investigators would respond if Yoon refuses to appear.
Yoon was impeached by the opposition-controlled National Assembly on Saturday over his Dec. 3 martial law decree. His presidential powers have been subsequently suspended, and the Constitutional Court is to determine whether to formally remove him from office or reinstate him. If Yoon is dismissed, a national election to choose his successor must be held within 60 days.
Yoon has justified his martial law enforcement as a necessary act of governance against the main liberal opposition Democratic Party that he described as “anti-state forces” bogging down his agendas and vowed to “fight to the end” against efforts to remove him from office.
Hundreds of thousands of protesters have poured onto the streets of the country’s capital, Seoul, in recent days, calling for Yoon’s ouster and arrest.
It remains unclear whether Yoon will grant the request by investigators for an interview. South Korean prosecutors, who are pushing a separate investigation into the incident, also reportedly asked Yoon to appear at a prosecution office for questioning on Sunday but he refused to do so. Repeated calls to a prosecutors’ office in Seoul were unanswered.
Yoon’s presidential security service has also resisted a police attempt to search Yoon’s office for evidence.
Also Monday, the Constitutional Court met for the first time to discuss the case. The court has up to 180 days to rule. But observers say a ruling could come faster.
In the case of parliamentary impeachments of past presidents — Roh Moo-hyun in 2004 and Park Geun-hye in 2016 — the court spent 63 days and 91 days respectively before determining to reinstate Roh and dismiss Park.
Kim Hyungdu, a court justice, told reporters earlier Monday that the court will “swiftly and fairly” make a decision in the case. He said Monday’s court meeting was meant to discuss preparatory procedures and how to arrange arguments at formal trials.
Upholding Yoon’s impeachments needs support from at least six out of the court’s nine justices, but three seats are vacant now. This means a unanimous ruling by the court’s current six justices in favor of Yoon’s impeachment is required to formally end his presidency. Kim said he expected the three vacant seats to be filled by the end of this month.
Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, who became the country’s acting leader after Yoon’s impeachment, and other government officials have sought to reassure allies and markets after Yoon’s surprise stunt paralyzed politics, halted high-level diplomacy and complicated efforts to revive a faltering economy.
Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung urged the Constitutional Court to rule swiftly on Yoon’s impeachment and proposed a special council for policy cooperation between the government and parliament. Yoon’s conservative People Power Party criticized Lee’s proposal for the special council, saying that it’s “not right” for the opposition party to act like the ruling party.
Lee, a firebrand lawmaker who drove a political offensive against Yoon’s government, is seen as the frontrunner to replace him. He lost the 2022 presidential election to Yoon by a razor-thin margin.
Yoon’s impeachment, which was endorsed in parliament by some of his ruling party lawmakers, has created a deep rift within the party between Yoon’s loyalists and his opponents. On Monday, PPP chair Han Dong-hun, a strong critic of Yoon’s martial law, announced his resignation.
“If martial law had not been lifted that night, a bloody incident could have erupted that morning between the citizens who would have taken to the streets and our young soldiers,” Han told a news conference.
Yoon’s Dec. 3 imposition of martial law, the first of its kind in more than four decades, harkened back to an era of authoritarian leaders the country has not seen since the 1980s. Yoon was forced to lift his decree hours later after parliament unanimously voted to overturn it.
Yoon sent hundreds of troops and police officers to the parliament in an effort to stop the vote, but they withdrew after the parliament rejected Yoon’s decree. No major violence occurred.
Opposition parties have accused Yoon of rebellion, saying a president in South Korea is allowed to declare martial law only during wartime or similar emergencies and would have no right to suspend parliament’s operations even in those cases.

Reports about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan’s supposed separation have been circulating for some time now. Despite the couple addressing rumors with hints, the speculation persists due to their lack of a direct statement. In the midst of this, old emotional videos and quotes of the couple are resurfacing and capturing attention, sparking more conversation among fans and the media.
The video is from a function hosted by ace fashion designer Manish Malhotra, which was attended by both Aishwarya and Abhishek together. The couple gave ethnic style goals with their attires in the video, as the former beauty queen was seen in a pink suit complimented by nude make-up and her hubby dearest Abhishek chose a red kurta pyjama. Now, coming to the reason why the video is going viral, is because it shows Aishwarya lovingly hugging Abhishek, a moment that has painted a town red.
Poll
Do you think Aishwarya and Abhishek are a power couple of Bollywood?
Not only this, but the video also captures Jaya Bachchan’s reaction to the moment. As the camera panned towards her, the veteran star was seen feeling overwhelmed with emotions, which further melted the hearts of the audience.
Netizens are simply in awe of the old video and showering all their love on it. Messages like “Nazar na lage couple ko,” “You both have the best Jodi,” “Itna pyaara bond hai, koi jhooth na kar sake.” filled the comment section.
Meanwhile, on the work front, the entire Bachchan family seems to be ruling the entertainment world. Be it Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Kalki’ or ‘KBC,’ Jaya Bachchan’s last outing as a matriarch in ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani,’ Aishwarya Rai’s charm in ‘PS II’ or Abhishek Bachchan’s recent ‘I Want To Talk,’ this filmy family has got us covered.

Zakir Hussain, one of India’s most accomplished classical musicians, dies at 73
NEW DELHI (AP) — Zakir Hussain, one of India’s most accomplished classical musicians who defied genres and introduced tabla to global audiences, died on Sunday. He was 73.
The Indian classical music icon died from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a chronic lung disease, at a hospital in San Francisco, his family said in a statement.
“His prolific work as a teacher, mentor and educator has left an indelible mark on countless musicians. He hoped to inspire the next generation to go further. He leaves behind an unparalleled legacy as a cultural ambassador and one of the greatest musicians of all time,” the statement read.
Hussain was the most recognizable exponent of tabla, a pair of hand drums that is the main percussion instrument in Indian classical music.
Considered the greatest tabla player of his generation, Hussain had a career that spanned six decades in which he collaborated with the likes of singer-songwriter George Harrison, jazz saxophonist Charles Lloyd, drummer Mickey Hart and cellist Yo-Yo Ma.
The son of legendary tabla artist Ustad Alla Rakha, Hussain was born in 1951 in Mumbai and was taught how to play the instrument by his father at the age of 7. A child prodigy, he began performing alongside India’s classical music legends during his teens.
In 1973, Hussain formed the Indian jazz fusion band “Shakti” with jazz guitarist John McLaughlin. The band played acoustic fusion music that combined Indian music with elements of jazz, introducing a new sound to Western audiences.
In 2024, Hussain became the first musician from India to win three Grammy awards in the same year.
Hussain’s “Shakti” won Best Global Music Album, and his collaboration with Edgar Meyer, Béla Fleck and flutist Rakesh Chaurasia won Best Global Music Performance and Best Contemporary Instrumental Album. He had earlier won a Grammy in 2009.
In 2023, Hussain received the Padma Vibhushan, India’s second-highest civilian award.
Hussain is survived by his wife and two daughters.

LTE Base Station System
Strict regulations for Telecom operators in some regions and limited availability of compatible devices hinder growth in the LTE base station system market.
WILMINGTON, DE, UNITED STATES, December 16, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- According to a recent report by Allied
market Research, the global LTE base station system market was valued at $32.80 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to reach $234.50 billion by 2030, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.0% from 2021 to 2030.
Long-Term Evolution (LTE) base station systems are designed with advanced technology to optimize energy efficiency and minimize costs. These systems simplify installation processes and significantly reduce power consumption. LTE serves as a standard for high-speed wireless communication, catering to mobile phones and data terminals.

Download Sample Report (Get Full Insights in PDF - 253 Pages) at:
In LTE networks, the base station, known as the Evolved Node B (eNodeB), incorporates sophisticated radio access and control technologies. This setup contrasts with the W-CDMA system, where base station functionality is distributed between the Base Transceiver Station (BTS) and IP-Radio Network Controllers (IP-RNC). Together, these components enable more efficient communication and network management, advancing the overall performance of wireless connectivity.
An LTE base station is a radio transmitter and receiver serving as the core hub for a local wireless network and often functions as the gateway between wired and wireless networks. The rise in data traffic and network congestion has driven the adoption of small cells to optimize spectrum usage. These small cells play a crucial role in pre-5G and LTE-Advanced Pro transitions by helping service providers reduce costs associated with rooftop systems, installations, and rental fees. Additionally, small cells enhance connectivity to base stations, thus fueling market growth.
Several key factors are propelling the LTE base station system market, including the increasing demand for high-speed broadband services and growing consumer awareness of IoT applications like smart homes and connected vehicles. Expansion in the telecom industry and the need for high data transfer rates are also boosting growth. However, market growth is hampered by strict regulations for telecom operators in certain countries and limited availability of compatible devices.
For Report Customization:
On a positive note, ongoing advancements in wireless communication technology, the growth of complementary technologies such as software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV), and an expanding telecom customer base present promising opportunities for market expansion during the forecast period.
Market Insights by End User
The residential and small office/home office (SOHO) segment captured the largest market share in 2020, driven by a steady increase in data traffic and subscriber expectations. Meanwhile, the urban segment is projected to experience the fastest growth due to rising LTE deployments in densely populated areas, including convention centers, malls, parks, city centers, and transportation hubs.
Regional Analysis
In 2020, North America led the LTE base station system market, a position it is expected to maintain throughout the forecast period. This dominance is attributed to the region's swift transition from Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA)/High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) networks. In contrast, the Asia-Pacific region is forecasted to witness significant growth, particularly due to early LTE deployments in countries like South Korea and Japan.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Market
While the LTE base station system market has shown substantial growth in recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic caused a temporary decline in 2020. Leading market players are anticipated to implement moderate cuts in research and development (R&D) budgets to maintain robust product portfolios.

As his debut movie 'Kabul Express' completed 18 years in Hindi cinema, filmmaker
Kabir Khan said first is always "the most special".
Kabir took to Instagram stories, where he shared a poster of the film, which also stars
John Abraham and
Arshad Warsi. On the poster, it is written "Celebrating 18 years of Kabul Express".
For the caption, Kabir wrote: "The first is always the most special."
Kabir started his career at age 25 as a cinematographer for the documentary film Beyond the Himalayas directed by Gautam Ghosh. He then made his own directorial debut with the documentary The Forgotten Army based on Subhas Chandra Bose's Indian National Army.
He made his mainstream directorial debut with the Yash Raj Films-backed adventure thriller Kabul Express in 2006. The film, according to him, was loosely based on his and his friend Rajan Kapoor's experiences in post-Taliban Afghanistan.
The film told the story of two Indian journalists, an American journalist and an Afghan guide who are taken as hostages by Pakistani soldiers. They are forced to take a 48-hour journey into a war-torn country.
The film saw its fair share of controversies. In 2007, the government of Afghanistan, who had earlier supported the shooting of the film in the country, banned the film despite it not having been officially released there.
The banning was over the film's allegedly racist portrayal of the ethnic Hazara Shia minority, one of the four largest ethnicities in Afghanistan, according to reports.
After 'Kabul Express', Kabir went on to make 'New York', the action thriller 'Ek Tha Tiger' starring Salman Khan, '
Bajrangi Bhaijaan', 'Phantom' and '83'.
His most recent release is the Kartik Aaryan-starrer 'Chandu Champion', a biographical sports drama. The actor played India's first Paralympics gold medallist Murlikant Petkar. The film told the story of an extraordinary man confronting challenges with unwavering determination. His spirit and resilience propel him through adversity, ultimately forging a path to historic achievement.

LANCASTER – A Lancaster woman charged with her 3-month-old baby’s death while using cocaine will have her case go to county court after waiving her preliminary hearing. 32-year-old Luz Saez is charged with endangering the welfare of children and involuntary manslaughter. Police responded to Saez’s home in the 500 block of S. Lime Street on Aug. 30 after a report of a deceased infant. An autopsy determined the child died of complications of asphyxia due to co-sleeping with Saez. A search of the home uncovered suspected crack cocaine and a crack pipe. Saez told police she had been awake for two days straight and had used cocaine the previous afternoon, something she did in order to “stay awake” to care for her children. The charges state that Saez’s drug use and her act of co-sleeping with the child played a role in the death. Saez was denied bail due to concerns for her surviving children’s safety and the nature of the charges and remains in Lancaster County Prison.

HARRISBURG – In response to increasing reports of unexplained drone activity in PA and New Jersey, Lackawanna County Sen. Rosemary Brown has introduced a resolution urging the federal government to grant state governments the authority to respond to these threats. Since November, New Jersey has documented over 3,000 sightings of unidentified drones, some as large as cars, operating near military bases, private residences, and other locations. The incidents are now being reported in PA, heightening concerns about public safety and national security. Brown has sent a letter to Federal Aviation Administration Administrator Michael Whitaker calling on the FAA to prioritize addressing the issue and provide states with the authority to act when drones pose a threat. She said current federal regulations tie the hands of state and local governments, preventing them from taking immediate action when drones threaten the safety and privacy of our communities, The resolution comes amid growing frustration with the fed’s handling of drone-related incidents and the erosion of public trust, citing the 2023 Chinese spy balloon incident as an example of delayed federal response.

3 Zodiac Signs Find Clarity And Direction On December 16, 2024
We are not distracted by negativity.
December 16, 2024, brings clarity and direction into our lives. When the Moon trines Saturn, we feel very good about what's to come. Feeling clearheaded works wonders, especially when there are big decisions to make. And for three zodiac signs, it's good to have a clear head on our shoulders.
A few of the questions we've been asking are finally answered, and not only that, we like the answers! We are pleased with how things are turning out. Because we can think clearly, we can figure out where this is all going.
That's how the Moon trine Saturn in its harmonious fashion brings about aim and direction. We're not just sitting this one out; we are actively involved in making our future a better place to live in. We are not distracted by negativity, nor are we about to stop any time soon. We see what lies ahead and we greet it all with a smile on our faces.
Three zodiac signs find clarity and direction on December 16, 2024:
1. Gemini

And so, finally, it hits you: you're well on your way toward the success you've had in mind for what feels like years now. It's December 16, and even though the world seems to be winding down for the holiday season, you've got hope in your heart, and you know where you're headed.
As a Gemini, you don't always allow yourself moments like this, meaning that you spend a good portion of your day going over the details and missing out on the big picture. It's OK; this is who you are, and being hyper-analytical helps you to figure out what stays and what needs to go.
It's during the transit of Moon trine Saturn that you find clarity, and you release the need to over-analyze things. You've found your direction, and there's no need to overthink it. This clarity and direction is now yours to use, and Moon trine Saturn backs you up, Gemini.
2. Libra
Ibnu Hasan and Dirtyline Studio | Canva
You know that you're not getting anything done unless you are clearheaded and ready to hit the tasks ahead, and if anything's going to amp up your drive, it's Moon trine Saturn. You've needed this day to happen; you've been lacking in drive, and well, it's time to change all that.
Inspiration hits you big time during Moon trine Saturn, and you'll find that you're not only in the right place at the right (during the most perfectly harmonious transit) but that your mind is clear and your direction is on point. You are finally ready, willing, and able, and it's gone time in Libra's world.
What's going on is that for you, Libra, the distractions are taking a backseat, and your clarity of mind is now in the foreground. This is what you've been trying to work into your world, which proves that if you put your mind to something positive, you can't help but manifest it.
3. Capricorn
Ibnu Hasan and Dirtyline Studio | Canva
There isn't just one thing on your side; there are many things that you've got going for you, and even though you feel like there are a thousand and one distractions, you know that if you stay focused, you'll succeed in whatever you want to do, create or be a part of. You've got the positive positioning of Moon trine Saturn in your charts, and all is well in your world.
What December 16 looks like for you, Capricorn is a series of events that requires your undivided attention. When you start to focus, many things become clear to you, and this act reminds you that you truly are the boss; your sense of clarity creates momentum in your life.
During Moon trine Saturn, it's all about work ethic and seeing things through to completion. It's the end of the year, and you don't want to carry out unnecessary tasks in the new year. That's why you can easily employ the influence of Moon trine Saturn into your work life, leaving you with all the success you could ever dream of. Nice going, Capricorn.

- Bitcoin rallied to a new all-time high Sunday evening as investors awaited an expected interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve later this week.

Bitcoin rallied to a new all-time high Sunday evening as investors awaited an expected interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve later this week.

The price of the flagship cryptocurrency was last higher by more than 4% at $105,207.00, according to Coin Metrics. Earlier, it hit a new record of $106,509. Ether also rose 4%, climbing to just below the key $4,000 level. The broader crypto market, as measured by the CoinDesk 20 index, gained 4%.
Shares of crypto equities Coinbase and MicroStrategy were little changed in premarket trading, even after following the announcement that MicroStrategy will join the Nasdaq 100 stock index and heavily traded QQQ ETF later this month.

Bitcoin's rally came after the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite on Friday closed the U.S. trading week with a 0.3% gain, outperforming the other major stock indexes.
Investors are expecting the Fed to lower interest rates this week during its two-day policy meeting, which will conclude Wednesday. The CME Fedwatch tool currently forecasts a 96% chance of a 25-basis-points cut. That would likely be positive for the price of bitcoin, which often trades like a tech stock and therefore benefits from lower interest rates.
Lower interest rates also imply a weakening dollar and growing money supply – both of which have demonstrated long-term correlations with bitcoin.
Money Report
Bitcoin is now up nearly 8% for the month, 50% since the U.S. presidential election and 145% for the year. The promise of a friendlier regulatory environment and potential establishment of a national strategic bitcoin reserve in the incoming Donald Trump administration continues to be a positive catalyst for the digital asset and cryptocurrencies at large.

Veteran actor
Mukesh Khanna, known for his iconic role as Shaktimaan, recently shared insights about his discussions with
Ranveer Singh and
Yash Raj Films (YRF) over the much-anticipated Shaktimaan reboot. The actor revealed that he had suggested Ranveer Singh for the role of the villain, Tamraj Kilvish, instead of Shaktimaan, expressing concerns about the project potentially becoming a "disco drama."
According to Indian Express, speaking about the meeting with Ranveer, Mukesh clarified rumours about making the actor wait. “It’s wrong to say I made him wait. Ranveer came with love and spent three hours genuinely talking to me. He tried to convince me that he could play Shaktimaan and even enacted how he would do it. However, I felt his energy would be better suited for the antagonist Tamraj Kilvish.”
Mukesh also revealed that the interest in a Shaktimaan reboot isn’t new. “Ten years ago, Aditya Chopra’s team approached me to acquire the rights to Shaktimaan. Around the same time, a photo of Ranveer in Shaktimaan’s costume started circulating online. I refused to sell the rights and suggested collaborating with me instead. My primary concern was to maintain the essence of Shaktimaan and not turn it into a flashy, modernized version,” he explained.
Despite Ranveer’s enthusiasm and the backing of YRF, Mukesh Khanna remained hesitant. “Ranveer’s energy is incredible, and he spoke passionately about the role. But I believe Shaktimaan requires a different kind of portrayal—one rooted in simplicity and calmness, which was the essence of the character. Ranveer could have excelled as Kilvish, bringing his dynamic persona to the antagonist’s role,” he said.
Mukesh also addressed how modern cinematic trends influenced YRF’s approach. “Ranveer’s team, including his PR manager, tried to convince me about what works in today’s times. But Shaktimaan is not just a superhero; it’s a legacy. My aim is to protect its soul while updating it for new audiences.”
The meeting between Mukesh Khanna and Ranveer Singh ended without a resolution, leaving fans curious about the future of Shaktimaan.
